 Ever notice that most of your TV ads are for pharmaceutical drugs companies or even over the counter drugs? Yet when you listen to the 'side effects' of the drugs (which most people ignore) it makes you wonder 'why bother taking the drug?'. It's like you coming to me and saying 'I have a head ache - what can you do to help me?' and I say 'well, I can help you forget your head-ache but I have to shoot you in the foot to do so'. Stupid, huh? Yet that is in essence what people do by allowing their doctor to treat one part in their body but ignoring the effect it will have on other parts of the body, especially the liver. Take for example - Flouride. Clinically proven to help prevent cavities - no question about it - but that's ALL they look at. They don't tell you that it (again) is just another chemical that the body is not designed to ingest and how it will weaken your immune system. That's why most health food stores don't carry flouride containing tooth pastes. Just because it's got the ADA stamp of approval on it does not mean it's good for your body. Same goes for the FDA and AMA and other so called health related organizations. Drugs DO NOT cure diseases, they only mask the symptoms. It's equivalent to you complaining of the noise you hear because your smoke detector is going off - and you go to the doctor and he says 'take the battery out'. Yeah, sure - it'll remove the noise but it totally ignores the underlying question of 'why was it going off to begin with?' and then wondering why later their house burnt down! Switch your thinking from looking at the 'symptoms' to looking for the 'cause'. When you fall down and hurt your back - what do you think CAUSED the pain? Was it because you had this Flexiril (pain killing drug) reservoir in your body and when you fell down it left your body - so now you have to go to the doctor and get a prescription because now you have a 'Flexiril deficiency'? Of course not! It's because you jarred some bones out of their natural alignment and a couple of treatments from a good chiropractor will get you back on track. Correct what CAUSED the problem, not just paint over the symptom.
Why am I so passionate about this? Because when my father died back in February 2000, he was taking 17 different pharmaceutical drugs, all with the blessings of the VA hospital and what ever 'quack' was on duty when he went in, and the insurance companies and the government agencies that over see those areas. Also, my son who had Down Syndrome and lived with my ex-wife in Florida died in December 2007 at age 21 from the same type treatment. My ex took him to the emergency room over every little sniffle and they, of course, prescribed a DRUG to treat his 'symptoms' and even at one point had him on THREE different very strong ANTI (meaning 'against') BIOTICS (meaning 'life') drugs. When I requested his hospital ER records just over a 2 year period of time, it was over 250 pages long! That's right - just in ER visits alone!! His immune system was so wiped out from their drugs, he died from pneumonia and 'related complications'. My daughter and the eldest son would frequently call me and tell me of the neglect and abuse that went on with him, the junk foods that my ex would let my son eat - his obesity and how fat he was, yet when Child Protective Services was called, she would 'cover up the truth' and as long as he's seeing a 'licensed doctor' and being fed food you can buy in any store, they would do NOTHING. In my opinion she literally got away with murder! I've said this time and time again - just because a person has the initials MD after their name does NOT make them right - it only makes them 'legal'. Why do you think they need 'mal-practice insurance?' And as for government agencies, they USED to be there to help and protect but they are now much of the problem! - but that's just my opinion. | |
