Guest guest Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 Doctoryourself.com http://www.doctoryourself.com/ (one of the links on our links page, there are many more) Education not medication. Dear Group, Here is the front page of Andrew Saul's website. I think that it is one of the best available on the web. It can be the starting point (after our own links and message archives) for most research subjects. Almost all of the pages here have been posted to the group at one time or another. Frank " I remain amazed at the comprehensive coverage you have on your web site. I have not seen any better. " Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D. You can find health information here in two ways: 1) Scroll down the alphabetical index (in the blue area to your left), or: 2) Type in the illness you are researching in the " Search " box, below, and click it.

" If we doctors threw all our medicines into the sea, it would be that much better for our patients and that much worse for the fishes. " Oliver Wendell Holmes, M.D. I have seen the foolishness of conventional disease care wisdom. I have seen hospitals feed white bread to patients with bowel cancer and hospitals feed " Jello " to leukemia patients. I have seen schools feed bright red " Slush Puppies " to 7 year olds for lunch and I have seen children vomit up a desk-top full of red crud afterwards. And, I have seen those same children later line up at the school nurse for hyperactivity drugs. I have seen hospital patients allowed to go two weeks without a bowel movement. I have seen patients told that they have six months to live when they might live sixty months. I have seen people recover from serious illness, only to have their physician berate them for having used natural healing methods to do so. I have seen infants spit up formula while their mothers were advised not to breast feed. I've seen better ingredients in dog food than in the average school or hospital lunch. And I have seen enough. Don't bother looking in the history books for what has slaughtered the most Americans. Look instead at your dinner table. There's an old saying: " One fourth of what you eat keeps you alive. The other three-fourths keep your doctor alive. " We eat too much of the wrong things and not enough of the right things. Scientific research continually indicates nationwide vitamin and mineral deficiencies in our country. We spend over one million million dollars (one trillion) each year on disease care in America. Is it any surprise that doctors consistently place among the very highest incomes? " And we have made of ourselves living cesspools, and driven doctors to invent names for our diseases. " Plato Nearly two-thirds of a million men died in the Civil War. All other U.S. wars put together add about another two-thirds of a million soldiers killed. That means that about 1,300,000 Americans have died, totally, in all the wars in U.S. history. That is a lot of deaths. Today, right now, we lose more than that number of Americans each year because of cancer and heart disease. So always remember that disease is the real enemy. About 10 million soldiers were killed in World War I, charging machine guns and getting mowed down month after month. There were nearly a million casualties at the Somme and another million at Verdun. A terrible slaughter went on for four years. Yet, in just the two years following the war, over 20 million people died from influenza. That is more than twice as many deaths from the flu in one-half the time it took the machine guns. During the American Civil War, three times as many soldiers died from disease as from battle. Today, alcohol and tobacco kill nearly as many Americans in one year as the entire Civil War did in four. Results are all that matter to me. Alternative medicine works. The natural treatment of illness can be accomplished safely, inexpensively, and effectively. We've all been taught that anything that is safe and inexpensive cannot possibly be really effective against " real diseases. " It is time to rethink that, and especially to see for yourself what works. My work is not prescription, but rather description. I'd like for us to be free to utilize any reasonable health care approach. To decide, we need education far more than medication. Each treatment regimen included here is not mine. I do not stay up late at night making all this up. These ideas are not original. They are generally not new, either. I have collected the safest and most effective healing approaches that I can find from physicians worldwide. I hope you find them to be as helpful as they have been for my family. Natural healing is not about avoiding doctors. It is about not needing to go to doctors. A dentist is not upset if you are cavity-free. A doctor should not be upset if you are healthy. The idea is to be well. The first step is wanting to be. The old Chinese saying is " When you are sick of sickness, you are no longer sick. " The second step is to do something to improve your health. Each of us is ultimately responsible for our own wellness. I think we should leave no stone unturned in our search for better health. I also believe that you get out of your body what you put into it. Your body will respond to your efforts to improve your health. The time to start is right now. Another old saying: " If not now, when? If not here, where? If not you, then who? " " It's supposed to be a secret, but I'll tell you anyway. We doctors do nothing. We only help and encourage the doctor within.

Alan Sherman Joy, temperance and repose Slam the door on the doctor's nose. Longfellow Let food be thy medicine, and let thy medicine be food. Hippocrates In your one human lifetime: Your eyes will blink 450 million times, you will breathe 650 million times, you will grow 1,000 layers of skin, your nails will grow 7 feet, you will lose 70 miles of hair from your head... And your heart will beat 2,500,000,000 times! If you rub your forearm briskly for a few seconds, 300,000 skin cells will come off of it. By age 70, you will shed 105 pounds of skin. Your bones are 50% water. IN ONE DAY: a person doing light work sweats three quarts of water... and a baby cries an average of 133 minutes. (Thanks to Science Kit / Boreal Labs) By the time you are 88 years old, you " have consumed 300 tons of food, air and water. " R. Buckminster Fuller One-quarter of what you eat keeps you alive. The other three-quarters keeps your doctor alive. (Hieroglyph found in an ancient Egyptian tomb.) What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered. Emerson Americans' wastefulness imperils their future. Our resources are fast giving out, and the next problem will be to make them last. Austin Bierbower April, 1907 Every week, Americans throw out about 420 million pounds of food. ( " Bizzaro Facts, " WOKR News, December, 1996) There is no such thing as freedom of choice unless there is freedom to refuse. David Hume There is enough in the world for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed. Mahatma Gandhi If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail. Of several remedies, the physician should choose the least sensational. Hippocrates The work of the doctor will, in the future, be ever more that of an educator, and ever less that of a man who treats ailments. Lord Horder If you really want to help this world, what you will have to teach is how to live in it. Joseph Campbell When all the land is destroyed, and all the fish are dead, then will the white man learn that he can't eat money. (Native American saying ) The physician should not treat the disease but the patient who is suffering from it. Maimonides In the US, 100,000 cattle are slaughtered every day. Source: ABC-TV PRIMETIME LIVE, Thursday, April 30, 1992 The germ is nothing; the terrain is everything. Louis Pasteur Not only is example the best way to teach, it is the only way. Albert Schweitzer, M.D. There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all argument, and which cannot fail to keep man in everlasting ignorance. That principle is condemnation without investigation. Herbert Spencer Doctors give drugs of which they know little, into bodies, of which they know less, for diseases of which they know nothing at all. Voltaire Never, no never does Nature say one thing and wisdom another. Johann Christolph Frederick von Schuller What ails the physician that he dies of the disease That he would have cured in time gone by? There died alike he who administered the drug and he who took it, And he who imported and sold the drug, and he who bought it. (Verses upon the death in Baghdad of the physician Yuhanna ibn Masawayh in the year 857). The carpenter desires timber, the physician disease. Rig Veda IX. 7.9) Hunger is not the cause of death, for deaths approach the man who has eaten.
