WHAT'S WRONG WITH AMERICA'S HEALTHCARE SYSTEM

Politics and healing might be thought of as a contradiction in terms. Surely

there can't be politics in cancer and healing; surely when breakthroughs are

made, the medical profession puts them to use. That's the way it is, isn't it?

It would be nice if it were that simple.

 

In most fields, competition usually arranges for the best product to prevail -

not always, but usually. In ten stories, Politics in Healing shows that a free

market in health products does not exist in the U.S. Effective and non-toxic

products (many for cancer) have been shoved aside during most of the 20th

century. Pushed forward in their stead have been " approved " therapies, usually

extremely toxic, which did not win their spurs in the open competition of a free

market.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Instead, approval was dictated and administered from the top down by " Official

Medicine " . Official Medicine consists of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration

(FDA), the American Medical Association (AMA), the National Institutes of Health

(NIH), which contain the National Cancer Institute (NCI). In addition, there are

the American Cancer Society (ACS), the Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital, the

Mayo Clinic, the M.D. Anderson in Houston, Roswell Park in Buffalo, N.Y., and

others. These organizations constitute Official Medicine, the American medical

establishment. It decides, yes, pontificates what medicines and therapies will

be available to Americans, and harshly disciplines doctors who venture outside

its guidelines.

 

This book is a collection of stories which should not have happened, stories

which will not be heard from Official Medicine, stories about dark undercurrents

in American medicine. Political patterns of misuse of both public and private

power are seen through what happened to ten little-known healers of the 20th

century. Many of them produced breakthroughs of Nobel Prize quality. Most of

these therapies are no longer available to help with our numerous health

challenges as we begin the new millennium - not because they didn't work, but

for political reasons. These stories show how governmental and prestigious

private institutions have deliberately misrepresented, held back, discouraged,

ignored, and suppressed important inexpensive and non-toxic healing

breakthroughs. While government can be expected to be inept, the decisions and

actions described in this book were intentional and deliberate, and many people

have died as a result.

 

This book puts it as a postulate that there is a war going on (of which the

public is largely unaware) between toxic and non-toxic therapies, and that the

non-toxic ones have been getting clobbered. There has been a long attempt to

sell a bill of goods that the only real medicine is strong, toxic medicine,

almost always patented, produced by pharmaceutical companies, and that only this

should be used by doctors or paid for by health insurance programs either public

or private. Key to maintaining this status quo is the FDA, which tilts

predictably and continuously against nontoxic medicines. Created in 1906 by the

visionary Dr. Harvey Wiley, the FDA throughout most of the 20th century had

little in common with what Dr. Wiley intended. Its original purpose was to make

sure that foods are pure and drugs are safe, but it has drifted way off course.

The FDA frequently appears less interested in protecting Americans from harmful

drugs than from harmless ones, especially those capable of competing with

prescription drugs.
