 After all, if they don't hurt and there's nothing wrong, why undergo surgery to remove them? But in the United States, it remains standard operating procedure to surgically remove even asymptomatic wisdom teeth, simply because they are there. It makes about as much sense as saying we should cut off everybody's fingers because they have so many. (Don't give surgeons any new ideas, now. This may be the next procedure promoted after bariatric surgery is finally banned.)
It's all silly advice, of course. A dentist looks in your mouth, and in three seconds, determines that you need dental surgery? |
| I had made an appointment for a routine checkup, not to undergo expensive surgery for my wisdom teeth. But my dentist insisted, relying on a variety of scare tactics to try to convince me to undergo this expensive -- and completely unnecessary -- procedure. His behavior was highly unethical. He was using his authority and position as "the dentist" to try to scare me into accepting a surgical procedure that I quite obviously didn't need. In fact, even he couldn't give me a good reason for justifying the surgery other than to say, "We usually remove the wisdom teeth quite early. |

 You may have hypoglycemia that might require surgery to remove part of your pancreas. Statistics show you might have a 4.6 percent chance of being dead within one year after undergoing bariatric surgery. So, if having your nacho chips, canned soup and MSG-tainted salad dressing is really that important to you, it's your choice.
MSG is present in most processed meats, including bacon, breakfast sausage, beef jerky and pepperoni. Almost all of these contain MSG, but you can read food labels to find out which ones do and which ones don't. |

 Treating mental disorders by removing organs
The individual who best demonstrates the madness of "modern" surgery is Henry Cotton, a 20th century surgeon who became convinced that mental disorders were primarily caused by infections. With this belief as his guiding philosophy, he literally dragged "kicking and screaming" patients into his surgery rooms where he removed vital organs as part of the "cure." He would remove a patient's colon, stomach, uterus, gallbladder, and even pull all their teeth. |

| This gives me more teeth than most people, and I have yet to meet a dentist (other than a natural health dentist) who didn't immediately suggest surgery to remove them. Dentists' desire to remove wisdom teeth is entirely irrational. The procedure generates lots of revenues for oral surgery (while causing considerable pain and suffering on the part of patients), but it has absolutely no rational justification, nor any real benefit, in most cases. |

 They might think they have beaten their cancer with chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, only to find a few years later that tumors have spread into other tissues -- usually the lungs, brain, or even the reproductive organs. Conventional medicine has not yet caught on to what's happening here, but the reason why this phenomenon occurs is quite simple: Conventional cancer treatments only treat the symptoms of cancer (tumors or growths) and do not actually do anything to help the patient regain a level of health necessary to keep cancer in check.
A tumor is not technically a disease. |

| In fact, even he couldn't give me a good reason for justifying the surgery other than to say, "We usually remove the wisdom teeth quite early." Which means, of course, that they just order the surgery for every child or teenager who walks into the clinic, regardless of whether they actually need it.
Now, it turns out, the removal of wisdom teeth has been found to be an utterly worthless procedure to begin with. It "may do more harm than good" says the British Medical Journal, after reviewing literally thousands of case studies. |

| As a result, countless patients are harmed every day by overzealous surgeons who see patients as little more than a revenue source: and the more radical the surgery, the bigger the profits. Each year, tens of thousands of unnecessary surgeries are performed in the United States alone, to the tune of billions of dollars in profits for hospitals and surgeons.

| That's almost one out of 20 people who die within a year following the surgery.
That's a huge number, and it indicates the level of risk associated with bariatric surgery. With the number of bariatric surgeries performed each year in this country approaching 50,000, we're talking about several thousand people dying each year from this procedure. |
| Avoid dangerous surgeries to obtain ideal health
People are intentionally misinformed about health by the medical industry, drug companies and the FDA, all of which want to limit the treatment of disease to drugs, surgery, chemotherapy and other conventional therapies. If patients just had access to good information, they'd make better choices, and far fewer patients would undergo gastric bypass surgery in the first place. Of course, that's exactly what the surgeons in this country don't want to happen. |
| In fact, they opt to undergo surgery instead. That's a choice I do not understand. I honestly believe that most people are only making that choice because they have never been given access to true information about foods, healing, weight loss and nutrition, which could save them from obesity, bariatric surgery, and a painful death. |

 It can be used in combination with surgery to shrink a tumor before surgery or to stop the growth of cancer cells that may remain after surgery. Healthy cells are better able to recover from radiation exposure than cancerous cells; consequently, radiation therapy can leave healthy parts of the body comparatively undamaged. An additional advantage of radiation over surgery is its ability to destroy tiny pockets of cancerous growth that the surgeon's knife might miss. |

| We see it today in bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery) and countless other surgical procedures.
The common failing of all surgeons, historical or modern, is that they continue to see the body and its diseases as nothing more than a collection of physical parts. To view mental illness as having a physical origin is a classic misconception still held by these people. All disease is treatable is they could just find the physical culprits and remove them from the body, they mistakenly believe.
Of course, it's all a monumental, tragic error. |

| Better yet, seek out a "natural" dentist who won't use mercury fillings or highly toxic fluoride, and who will turn to surgery as a last resort rather than a "standard procedure." Don't be tricked into unnecessary (and medically dangerous) surgical procedures that can only cause you harm.

| The surgeons harm your body with the first surgery, and then they create a condition where they get repeat business because they have to remove part of your pancreas to balance your blood sugar. If this is the approach to healing in this country, I'd hate to see what these people would actually do if they were trying to harm someone.
I don't think that's the way nature intended the human body to achieve a perfect state of health. It's not about figuring out how many organs or tissues you can remove. |

 The early use of niacin has a very beneficial effect on arteries, brain, and heart, and, if widely used, could reduce the number of patients requiring surgery. Beyond this, it has been shown that two anti-oxidants, vitamin E and ascorbic acid, in high doses, can reduce the incidence of organ failure during surgery and shorten the length of stay required by critically ill surgical patients in the Intensive Care Units7 Clinical trials of the use of niacin before and after surgery seem warranted. |

| An additional advantage of radiation over surgery is its ability to destroy tiny pockets of cancerous growth that the surgeon's knife might miss. Radiation also has less traumatic effects on older, frailer patients who might have a difficult time recovering from surgery and anesthesia. However, radiation therapy shares with surgery the shortcoming of sometimes failing to eradicate all the cancer cells of a tumor, and it cannot treat widespread metastasis or tumors that are not localized, such as leukemia, upon which the radiation cannot be focused. |

 As always, I strongly recommend that people who are considering this surgery look at naturopathic options, because removing a functional organ from your digestive tract is never a health-enhancing solution. It's just something that's too easy for conventional medicine to do. They do hundreds of thousands of these surgeries a year. They don’t consider it a big deal so the patients don’t think it’s a big deal either!
But it really is a big deal. It's sort of like saying, "Well, doctor, my tongue hurts." And the doctor says, "Let's cut out your tongue. |
| And you know why surgeons don't tell people the truth about gall bladder removal surgery? I suspect it's because if people knew the horrifying nutritional consequences of the procedure, they'd refuse to do it, and surgeons and hospitals would lose out on those paying customers. Talking to a gall bladder surgeon about your gall bladder health is sort of like taking your car to a greasy garage mechanic and asking, "Is there anything wrong with the transmission?" The answer you get is designed to pad his pockets. If you want honest answers on gall bladder pain, go visit a naturopath. |

 There are now three broad categories of treatment: removal of the tumour by surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. A common current treatment procedure follows the surgical excision of the tumour with radiotherapy or chemotherapy to destroy residual cancer cells.
Surgery
Traditionally, surgery was the first weapon used against cancer; even today, it is often the frontline treatment, especially if the tumour is well-localized and has been diagnosed at an early stage. The goal of surgery is to remove the entire tumour, or, in some cases, the entire affected organ. |

| Each of these is consistent with the practices of modern surgeons, who seem to follow the idea that all disease is caused by physical organs, and therefore the removal of those organs is a cure for disease:
New surgery ideas for U.S. surgeons:
Ear ache: surgical removal of the ear.
Constipation: removal of the large intestine and colon.
Rapid pulse: remove part of the heart.
Knee pain: amputation of the leg.
Mental disorders: removal of the head.
Coughing: removal of one lung. |

The death rate of his patients reached an astounding 30 percent, and yet Cotton pronounced these as "successful" because the patients, he explained, were no longer suffering from mental disorders. Overall, he proclaimed to have an 80% cure rate. Of course, this 80% includes those who died on the operating table. |

| They want to see more people opting for surgery, because that means more money in their pockets.
Hospitals and clinics want the same thing. Disease = revenue. Education = loss of revenue. In this way, conventional medicine is clearly against patient education about disease prevention. The only "education" provided by conventional medicine is based on claims for a new drug or surgical procedure.
But things are different here on NewsTarget.com. I want you to be a healthy, thin, fit person at your ideal bodyweight. I want you to avoid dangerous surgical procedures. |

| That's why people who have had gall bladder removal surgery usually suffer the classic signs of EFA deficiencies: poor nervous system function, irritability, learning difficulties, heart disease, poor blood sugar control, and so on.
Doctors and surgeons flat out aren't telling patients this all-important information. It's downright criminal, if you ask me. This basic education should be required by law. It's flat-out evil to remove an essential organ from a patient's body and neglect to tell them about the long-term adjustments they need to make in order to compensate for that missing organ. |

 I had so many patients say that they came out of the surgery and they were in screaming pain all over their body. They said that they had no idea where it came from, and it didn't go away.
Mike: Wow.
Dr. Whitcomb: Or they had fibromyalgia from a car accident earlier, and now, all of a sudden, they came out of surgery and their symptoms doubled. Their fibromyalgia doubled after surgery of some type.
Mike: Of course, not too many surgeons are trained in chiropractic medicine, so they don't know what they're doing in terms of the spine.
Dr. Whitcomb: Right. |

 Freeman became able to perform a surgery in less than ten minutes and perfected the technique so that he could insert picks into both eyes at once.14 A successful operation, in Freeman's view, was one in which the patient became adjusted at "the level of a domestic invalid or household pet."15 Between 1935 and 1950, 20,000 American psychiatric patients were subjected to lobotomies, or, as it was more gently called, "psychosurgery. |

 In contrast to that, what I'm criticizing is the barbaric treatment of patients who really have no justifiable need for drugs or surgery. "Let's do gastric bypass surgery. That will help your obesity," say some surgeons. They take out part of your digestive tract. Have you ever thought about this? It is like saying that if you have vision problems then you should rip out your eyes. Gastric bypass surgery is no magic bullet solution, and people still get obese after having it. They just eat ice cream all day. Obviously, obesity is not a stomach size problem. |
