Iatrogenic Disease is the fastest growing and most dangerous disease

in America. Each year Iatrogenic Disease takes the lives of six

times as many persons as American soldiers killed in the entire

Vietnam War. Don't be surprised if you don't hear about America's most

dangerous and fastest growing disease on so-called medical news.

Iatrogenic, according to Webster's 7th Collegiate Dictionary is defined

as, " a physician, and /or drug induced disease. " In short: a disease that

never existed until the drug doctor administered his/her medication

 

A recent article in the New England Journal Of Medicine acknowledges

that " practicing medicine by the book kills 100,000 Americans

each year " . This article was not referring to malpractice, incompetence

or nut cases, but competent physicians practicing medicine exactly

according to their training. Most scientific experts on the subject

believe that the established 100,000 deaths and two million hospitalizations

caused by drug doctors are grossly underestimated. William

Vonpeters D.O., President of the United States School of Naturopathy

and Applied Sciences is of the opinion that 350,000 deaths and five

million hospitalizations are directly attributed to drug medicine.

Jay S. Cohen M.D., author of " Overdose, The Case Against Drug

Companies, " is of the opinion that we've reached a point in our history

where the long term side effects from most drug treatments are

often worse than the condition that is being treated.

 

The term, " Side Effect " is a bought and paid for Madison Avenue

euphemism. If we were more honest in our language, we would use

the proper term - " poisoning effect. " Allopathic medicine is the science

of using poisons, which work against the body's natural processes

Hippocrates, the father of modern medicines' first rule of medicine

is well stated: " do the patient no harm " . In every medical treatment, the

benefit must be carefully weighed against the possibility of downside

risk of harm. What is the downside risk of naturopathic and alternative

medicine verses allopathic drug medicine? In the history of record

keeping, no one has ever died from the proper use of natural foods,

natural food supplements, homeopathic remedies, herbs, colon

hydrotherapy, I.V. Vitamin/chelating therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy,

naturopathic detoxification, thermogenic fat burning, internal

purification and other natural healing modalities.

 

Let's compare that with drug medicine, which is the direct cause of

36% of all hospital admittance, of which 100,000 people die each year

from infections acquired while in the hospital. Another 60,000 people

die as a result of unnecessary surgeries while in the hospital. Allopathic

medicine is indeed a very dangerous endeavor. Naturopathic medicine

is very safe, but the establishment press would have you believe the

exact opposite.

 

One million American school children are prescribed a cheap form

of speed called Ritalin, a recreational drug used to get high in the sixties.

Ritalin stunts physical growth and eventually causes hyperactivity,

depression, mental disorders, acute withdrawal symptoms and an

amphetamine like psychosis. In the long term, Ritalin creates drug

addicts, all in the name of medicine.

 

Over one million nutritionally deficient citizens are suffering from

brain damage as a result of the administration of one single class of

psychiatric drug, the neuroleptics. Still the beat goes on.

 

As a result of a lifetime accumulative use of drug medicine, quality

of life for the average American stops at age 50. It then takes medical

intervention to manage their symptoms just to maintain their life. The

average American exchanges short term gain for long term pain, suppression

for intractable degenerate disease, including heart disease,

diabetes, strokes and cancer when they start on drug medicines.

 

Americans pay 20 million dollars a minute for healthy care, and what

do we get for our money? We are 29th in life expectancy and 100th in

health according to the world health organization.We are among the

sickest people on the face of the earth because we are the most over

medicated, over drugged, pharmaceutically dependent people on the

face of the earth.

 

Earlier in the article I said that Iatrogenic is the fastest and most dangerous

of all known diseases in America. Heart disease is still ranked

the number one killer in America. This followed by cancer and third

with 350,000 deaths and 4 million hospitalizations a year is seeing

your orthodox drug doctor. It is a known fact that every time medical

doctors go on strike the death rate declines.Why is Iatrogenic Disease

so dangerous? Because for the last 100 years, the medical profession

has been under the complete control of the international pharmaceutical

trust. It's like putting the fox in charge of the hen house.

 

The real danger is in our one party medical system. It is more dangerous

than a one party political system. Saddam Hussein's bath party,

Hitler's Nazi Party and Marxism are all perfect examples of what happens

under a one party system. Ideas have consequences. That is why

Benjamin Rush, M.D.was the only medical doctor to sign the Declaration

Bill of Independence, which stated that freedom of choice in health care

should have been written into the Bill of Rights of our U.S. constitution.

In orthodox drug medicine almost every disease is addressed with

a corresponding drug. Most research revolves around new and more

powerful drugs. All other healing possibilities are ignored. It is this

mindset that has created our present health crises.

 

In naturopathic medicine we believe that toxicity is the common

denominator to all disease.We believe an once of prevention is worth

a ton of medical cures.We begin our natural treatment process whenever

possible long before a disease ever gets its foot hold.We uncover

nutritional deficiencies, metabolic imbalances, toxicity,

underperforming glands, organs prematurely aging systems of body,

long before they become a named medical condition.

 

We believe our natural health care system is incongruously backwards.

Does it make sense for primary health care to be surgery, drugs,

radiation, antibiotics and chemotherapy?

 

Primary means first.We believe that primary care should consist of

education, lifestyle, fitness, nutrition, spiritual life development, family

relations, and prevention.

 

Secondary care should consist of naturopathic medicine, chiropractic

care, etc. Emergency care is what our medical profession does best.

They are the best in the world when it comes to crisis intervention.

This should be our last system of care, never our primary.

 

Iatrogenic disease is our nation's fastest growing and most dangerous

disease because we have mindlessly made it our primary rather

than our final healthcare system.
