Ten Lies About Health Your Doctor Taught You

Posted May 5, 2005 PT by the Health Ranger (Mike Adams)

 

 

 

 

Lie #1: Prescription drugs will make you healthier.

 

Truth #1: Prescription drugs only mask symptoms. They do nothing to

correct the underlying biochemical causes of disease. Simultaneously,

most prescription drugs cause nutritional deficiencies which lead to

further progression of chronic disease.

Lie #2: You should actively treat the swelling of sprains, strains and

other injuries.

 

Truth #2: Swelling is your body's natural strategy for enhancing the

flow of blood and nutrients to the injured area. If drugs or hormones

are used to prevent swelling, the injured tissues won't heal

correctly, greatly increasing the likelihood of repeat injuries to the

same area.

 

 

 

 

Lie #3: Mammograms prevent cancer.

 

Truth #3: Mammograms actually cause cancer. They dose the breast

tissues with harmful radiation. Even when they spot breast cancer

tumors, they aren't " preventing " breast cancer; they're merely

detecting breast cancer. True prevention requires changes in food

choice and lifestyle, not the use of imaging technology. See

Lie #4: Vitamins give you " expensive urine. "

 

Truth #4: The most expensive urine in the world is created by taking

multiple overpriced prescription drugs, not vitamins. With more than

40% of the U.S. population now on prescription drugs, the drug content

in human urine is now so high that trace amounts of antidepressant

drugs can be found in public water supplies. Compared to drugs,

vitamins are cheap prevention.

Lie #5: The sun will give you cancer.

 

Truth #5: The sun will prevent cancer due to the creation of vitamin D

by the skin. Most Americans (and Canadians and Europeans, for that

matter) are deficient in vitamin D. As a result, tumor cell growth in

the breast and prostate is unregulated. Sensible exposure to natural

sunlight generates cancer-preventing vitamin D... at no charge!

Sunburns are actually caused by nutritional deficiencies (lack of

antioxidants in the skin), not by sensible exposure to sunlight.

Lie #6: CT scans (CAT scans) are perfectly safe.

 

Truth #6: CT scans expose patients to 1000 times the radiation of

chest X-rays. Repeated exposure to CT scans raises a patient's

cumulative radiation to levels experienced by many hydrogen bomb

victims in Hiroshima. In addition, rigorous studies have concluded

that CT scans offer no medical benefit whatsoever. See

.... Lie #7: The U.S. health care system is the best in the world.

 

Truth #7: The health of U.S. citizens is actually the worst of any

industrialized nation. We pay double, triple, and even quadruple the

price for prescription drugs as any other country. We also have the

highest rates of obesity, Alzheimer's, cancer and diabetes, plus the

highest health insurance costs in the world. The U.S. health care

system ( " sick care system " ) is so bad that people are fleeing the

country to seek medical services in Asia. It's a trend called " medical

tourism, " and it's flourishing.

Lie #8: All surgical procedures have been proven safe and effective.

 

Truth #8: There is currently NO requirement whatsoever that surgical

procedures must be either safe or effective in order to be practiced.

Hundreds of thousands of medically unnecessary surgical procedures are

performed each year in the U.S. alone, including hysterectomies and

prostate cancer surgeries.

Lie #9: You can get all the nutrition you need from three balanced

meals a day.

 

Truth #9: Today's foods are nutrient depleted, and they come from

depleted soils. Processed and manufactured foods would have to be

eaten at the rate of 10,000 calories a day just to meet minimum RDA

requirements for basic nutrition (see related ebook on nutrition). The

only way to get adequate nutrition is to supplement with superfoods or

whole food concentrates (vitamins, whole food powders, supplement

capsules, etc.) along with eating healthy meals. Organizations like

the AHA, however, insist that nutrient supplementation is actually bad

for your health.

Lie #10: All these lab tests are for your own good.

 

Truth #10: At least half of all diagnostic tests ordered by doctors

are medically unnecessary. They're often conducted merely to generate

revenues for the hospital or medical group that owns the doctor's

clinic. Some doctors are actually required to generate a certain

dollar amount of lab test revenues in order to keep their jobs.
