 But knowing that the roof is leaking requires some detective work, and conventional medicine has abandoned anything resembling real detective work. Today, it's all about identifying and treating the symptoms, then waiting for the patient to return with more symptoms caused by the treatments used on the first round of symptoms.
Someday, this whole system of modern medicine will be looked upon as quite foolish. Because it doesn't take a genius to figure out that fixing the leaky roof is the best way to prevent water from dripping into your home. |

 As a whistleblower, you can contribute to this effort in a meaningful way, adding weight to the considerable record of corruption, propaganda and criminal behavior that will soon become public knowledge. conventional medicine is about to have an Enron moment, and whistleblowers have a rare opportunity right now to help expose the fraud of drug companies, the FDA and the entire disease mongering system known as conventional medicine.
Whistleblowers are unique individuals. |

 So if somebody's happy with what's going on with conventional medicine, they're not going to seek alternatives, and alternatively, someone who is happy with alterative medicine is not going to go seeking conventional medical doctors very often. So it's only when their therapies fail or they get improper diagnosis and treatment that they are likely to go to another practitioner, that other practitioner looks and says, "Well, that wasn't very good care the person got. Boy, these people must not be good health care practitioners." So I think we get a skewed perspective that's not very accurate. |

 If it's not something they control, own the intellectual rights to, or profit from, the defenders of conventional medicine call it quackery, regardless of its merit as a genuine healing therapy. The real quacks, though, are the old, out-of-touch zealots of conventional medicine who can now best serve humanity by either retiring or dying. Scientific revolutions, you see, only happen when the defenders of old, outdated beliefs pass away, creating space for the rise of new, more advanced ideas from younger thinkers who don't have their careers and egos invested in old ways of thinking. |

| In other words, these three causes can combine in ten thousand different ways, creating ten thousand different symptoms, and conventional medicine has invented a name for each one.
But treating disease is wasted effort if it remains focused on the symptoms. Preventing disease is sort of like doing basic maintenance on your home; it's something you have to do routinely, something you do preemptively to prevent disease from occurring. |
| There are really only a few basic causes of all disease. conventional medicine has over ten thousand names for various diseases, but these are merely symptomatic descriptions. Every single one of them is based on one of the following three causes:
Number one: the body (or the mind) doesn't have something it needs, such as nutrition, oxygen, air, sunlight, love, sleep, etc.
Number two: the body (or mind) has too much of something it can't use or is toxic.
Number three: the body (or mind) doesn't have the proper flow, either energetically or physically. |
| No matter what the water dripped on, conventional medicine would have a different name and a different treatment for it. Even though all these problems have the same common cause (the leaky roof), medicine would find a way to turn it into a dozen different diseases and treatment plans, all while completely ignoring the root cause.
Naturopathic physicians and Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners, on the other hand, will listen to their patient's symptoms but not necessarily treat those symptoms directly. |

 Herbal medicines should primarily be used in conjunction with conventional therapy.
Slippery elm: There is evidence that diverticulosis, which is the condition that can lead to diverticulitis, occurs at higher rates in people who have a low-fiber diet. It may be possible to prevent diverticulosis from developing by
^ taking adequate amounts of fiber daily. If you or family members have diverticulosis, it is a
DC good idea to take herbs, except for those that have seeds, to obtain amounts of fiber that
*~ are above and beyond the regular nutritional intake. |
| Plantar warts are very stubborn and are often resistant even to strong conventional medicine. If there is no change after two weeks, discontinue use and try another form of treatment.
American mayapple: Applied topically as an ointment or poultice, this herb may help reduce plantar warts. American mayapple contains a compound called podophyllin that is believed to be effective in treating warts. However, it can injure the surrounding skin, causing irritation and ulcers, and should therefore be administered by an experienced herbal therapist. |
| That said, the remedies below can be useful as additional therapies to the conventional medicine approach.
Treating the gall bladder and bile duct: There are two categories of herbs that are used in cases of jaundice stemming from problems with the gall bladder or bile duct system: choleretics and cholagogues. Choleretics are plants that cause the liver cells to make more bile and cholegogues are plants that cause the release of bile that has already been formed. Both of these categories of herbs increase the flow of bile that may help to clean out the bile duct system or gallbladder. |

| Because conventional docs think the symptom is the disease or the disorder. But naturopathic medicine sees the cancer tumor as only a symptom of a much deeper problem. Just like the water dripping into the home is only a symptom of a broken roof in need of repair, a cancer tumor is only a symptom of a serious underlying metabolic problem.
The naturopathic physician would fix the cause of the problem, but they wouldn't stop there. They would also realize that if the roof has one hole in it now, it seems likely that there could be other holes that are beginning to form, too. |
| REPPED: People often ask me about the difference in philosophy between conventional medicine and naturopathic medicine. While the differences are numerous, some of the more fundamental ones can easily be explained. Imagine your body is a house, and the health of your body is the maintenance of that house. If you don't do regular maintenance on this house, the roof of your house begins to leak and you might notice water dripping into your home every time it rains. The water is a symptom of an underlying problem -- a roof with poor maintenance. |

| If no relief occurs after a period of 24-48 hours, seek conventional care.
Drink plenty of water: Where your health is concerned, it should always be a priority to guard against dehydration and flush out the system by drinking five large glasses of water a day (ideally filtered tap water or still mineral water). This becomes even more of a priority where there is any disturbance on the skin, and the need rises again if drugs such as antibiotics are being taken. |

| Firearms and medicine simply don't mix, and if conventional medicine is so scary to some parents that they will grab their children and flee, maybe it's time we stopped blaming sane, rational parents for questioning modern medicine and started looking at the problems in medicine itself.
Perhaps the human body wasn't designed to be chemically treated, sliced up by surgeons and irradiated with mammography equipment. Maybe obesity is not a problem of having "too much stomach" that must be removed by surgeons. |

| Now there are a lot of examples of well-proven nutritional abnormalities induced by drugs that are just being ignored by conventional medicine.
Mike: Because people aren't getting this information from their pharmacists, they're not typically getting it from their doctor, either.
Dr. Pizzorno: Actually, they're more likely to get it from their pharmacist than from their medical doctor, because the pharmacists have better training in the drugs than a medical doctor does. |
| And there's been quite a few accusations of distortions in more conventional journals -- how does your journal differ from that, or does it?
Dr. Pizzorno: Well, I think that's a wonderful trend to see, because I think that indeed there's a lot of negative information and adverse outcomes information on the drugs that has not been properly presented to the clinicians. Our journal doesn't do much original research. |
| Mike: Sadly, it seems though, that so many practitioners in conventional medicine there are still many who are shut, very close minded, to alternative medicine or complementary medicine.
Dr. Pizzorno: I think that's very true, and I think there are unfortunately alternative medicine people whose minds are shut as well. And I thought about this for a lot of years, wondering why we're so hostile towards each other -- I mean, not everybody is, but a lot are, and it occurs to me, we only see each other's failures. |

| 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! |

 Remember that conventional medicine loves to go in and remove organs that are presenting symptoms rather than addressing the root cause of the problem in the first place. They think that by removing the organ that hurts, they've cured the problem. Hogwash!
Gall bladder disease and gallstones are almost always the result of poor nutrition. For example: consuming a lot of soft drinks, sugar products, highly acidic foods like red meat and products made with white flour all contribute to the formation of gallstones.
Gallstones can be reversed, but it’s something that takes quite a bit of time. |
| And by the way, your average conventional medicine physician isn’t going to recommend any of this -- nor will he or she even believe any of it. They've never been taught that massage is important for internal organs. In fact, most doctors I know don't think massage is useful at all, which sort of just goes to show you how little they know about how the human body really works! But massage is critical. And of course, so is nutrition. Once again, your best strategy here for your gall bladder is to avoid removing it. |

| 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. |

 Thus, the great failing in turning to conventional medicine or relying on prescription drugs is that patients shift responsibility for their health outcome to the drugs themselves. In other words, they aren't taking ownership of their health outcome; they are asking for a cure from outside themselves. They are visiting their doctor and saying "Doctor, please cure me, or give me something that will solve my problem." And what goes unsaid is the rest of that thought, which is "...and I have this problem because I haven't been taking care of myself. |

 They actually formed an alternative special interest group, and they've worked hard to get more alternative medicine ideas into conventional medical schools.
Mike: That's an interesting point you bring up there, some of the most pioneering people in medicine and health care, in the health industry, have been traditionally trained MDs, and yet some of the people that alternative health writers like myself tend to criticize the most are also MDs. What is it that brings an MD to your school instead of just staying in the old school line of thinking?

| 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." In fact, your gall bladder is far more important for digestion than your tongue.
Do everything you can to protect your gall bladder. |

| But for the day to day practice of health care, conventional medicine's tools are fairly weak -- this is my perspective -- and the more you change your focus from disease diagnosis and treatment focus to understanding why people are sick and how to help them to become healthy, you start realizing that the drugs aren't very useful. |
