This commentary is in response to the Medicine at Gunpoint article published earlier, which revealed that conventional medicine is now resorting to kidnapping and the enlistment of gun-toting law enforcement personnel to "persuade" a mother that her infant son should be treated with toxic pharmaceuticals and surgical procedures. Read that story before you read this editorial.

So let me get this straight. In the United States today, if you don't submit to the harmful drugs and surgery of conventional medicine, you will be:

  1. Condemned as a criminal.
  2. Have your child stolen from you.
  3. Be hunted down by armed cops if you try to rescue your child.
  4. Receive a bill from the hospital for medical services you refused to authorize.
  5. Be sued by collections organizations and have your credit ruined if you refuse to pay the bill.
And the irony in all of this? If the woman had been uninsured, I believe the hospital would have thrown the baby out on the street. No insurance = case closed. Uninsured people who desperately need (and want) treatment are denied treatment every day by conventional medical hospitals and clinics. So why is supposedly saving the life of this one infant suddenly so important when saving the lives of all those other uninsured people isn't?

The answer is obvious: The woman has health insurance. And that baby is the hospital's lifeline to big payouts. Call me cynical, but I actually understand what modern medicine is all about: Profit. It's not about health, it's about Ka-Ching!

Welcome to the world of conventional medicine, where no drug is too dangerous, no surgery too harmful, and no marketing tactic too violent to convince patients they should avoid investigating alternative medicine. And if the guns don't work, there's always psychiatric medicine and chemical lobotomies...

Why help patients when you can simply arrest them?

The founding motto of medicine, "First do no harm" has now become, "First, cuff 'em!" Conventional medicine treatments are now so horrifying to many people that they will, on instinct alone, grab their children and flee the hospitals. Police sirens won't be far behind, of course, since the State now feels it has the right to push certain types of medical treatment over all others. Out of all the systems of medicine available in the world -- Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, Homeopathic medicine, herbal medicine, nutritional medicine, etc. -- Washington State just happens to choose the most lucrative and politically influential system of medicine to push onto patients at gunpoint: Western medicine, a system of medicine based almost entirely on profiteering, monopoly control, corruption, bribery, disease mongering, false claims and truly bad science.

King County calls this mother a criminal, but who are the real criminals in this case? If I broke into your house and stole your baby because I had decided that the "Mike system" of medicine was the best system for your child, I would be arrested for serious crimes like kidnapping. So why is it perfectly legal when the King County does the same thing?

The real kidnappers here are the law enforcement officials who got suckered into doing the dirty work of an overzealous kidney surgeon who stands to financially benefit from performing the surgery. Sure, maybe this kidney doc actually cares about the infant, too, but since when did one doctor's caring ever justify the terrorizing of a young family and the kidnapping of a child? Listen up, doc: Your misplaced concern does not give you total control over these peoples' lives. And if you think it does then, well, you'll feel right at home with all the other doctors whose egos are so inflated with hot air that we should probably start studying them as a source of renewable energy.

Ignoring doctors' advice for my own health and safety

If doctors' orders are now to be enforced at gunpoint, then I'm going to start wearing a Kevlar vest 24/7, because there's no one who ignores the advice of doctors more frequently than myself, and I have the statistics to prove it: A perfect state of health, outstanding cholesterol and blood pressure numbers, extremely high fitness and blood oxygenation... see the results yourself. I didn't achieve these results by listening to doctors, I promise you! I got these results by fleeing from doctors in much the same way that this mother was trying to do with her child.

In my view, she was entirely justified taking her child away from a roomful of masked men wielding sharp instruments. In a sane world, she could have called 911 and had the hospital staff arrested for kidnapping, but in this world of heavy-handed Western medicine, she was the one arrested and condemned by medical authorities who now believe that medical authority includes the right to medicate people at gunpoint.

Might does not make right. Just because the State has guns, scalpels and prescription drugs doesn't mean it has any right to wield them without serious provocation.

Medical school combat tactics training

I've got a great idea. If doctors are going to continue enlisting law enforcement personnel to arrest and detain patients, why not train the doctors to do the dirty work themselves? Let's take the middle man out of the loop and start arming doctors! That way, patients are already in the hospital when they get shot! (Think of the savings in ambulance fees alone...)

Law enforcement skills can be taught in medical school, right alongside classes in drug dealing. It's not like they're learning anything useful in med school anyway, so why not change the curriculum to something like this:
