Whistleblowers wanted: Truth Publishing seeks insiders to speak out about drug companies, health insurance and conventional medicine

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
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.

Gunpoint medicine: Why conventional medicine must use intimidation to control patients (opinion)

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
REPPED: 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:
    Condemned as a criminal.

Conventional medicine vs. naturopathy: How to fix a leaky roof

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Gunpoint medicine: Why conventional medicine must use intimidation to control patients (opinion)

The thought of being treated with homeopathy doesn't instill fear in the minds of patients. Only conventional medicine horrifies its patients to such a degree that its services must be marketed at gunpoint. Think about it: conventional medicine is so harmful, so dangerous and so downright scary in its abuse of patients with toxic chemicals, radical surgeries and cancer-causing radiation treatments that the pushers of this outdated Western medical philosophy actually have to enlist men carrying firearms to convince some patients not to explore alternatives.

Alternative medicine is often practiced with the limited mindset of conventional medicine

And that is the common flaw in conventional medicine versus complementary medicine. Because if you look at them both from the perspective of a victimized patient who is not willing to take control over their health outcome, then neither system of medicine is going to solve a person's health problem in the long run. Alternative medicine is no better than conventional medicine if you treat it as a temporary cover up for a pattern of symptoms that you created in your life through your unwillingness to make changes that lead to long term health.

Treat the problem, not the symptom Naturopaths aren't treating the water -- the symptom -- and this confuses conventional medicine to a great degree. They don't understand how someone can treat cancer without treating the tumor itself. 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.

Truth Publishing is now connected with key organizations (that shall go unnamed) involved in large-scale projects that have a very real chance of waking up the public to what's really going on in conventional medicine.

Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind

These interventions are considered to be complementary medicine when they are used together with conventional medicine (as when meditation is used to reduce a patient's pain following surgery). The same interventions are described as alternative medicine when they are used in place q/conventional medicine (as when a person is using a special diet to treat cancer instead of undergoing surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy). Integrative medicine combines treatments from conventional medicine and CAM for which there is some high-quality evidence of safety and effectiveness.

The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why

The IgE response is the only kind of reaction that conventional medicine regards as a true "allergy," leaving people who experience a host of unwanted symptoms in response to foods and things in the environment frustrated with the inability of conventional medicine to treat them. Because conventional medicine sees only an IgE response as a true allergy, it's woefully inadequate when it comes to treating a host of other "bad responses" to foods and environmental substances that don't fall strictly into this category.

With the media on the take (thanks to drug ad money), the FDA in bed with Big Pharma, and most lawmakers and doctors heavily lobbied by drug company reps, there's almost no one telling the other side of the story -- the considerable harm caused by conventional medicine. But the health freedom movement is gaining momentum. Thanks to health freedom champions like Rep. Ron Paul, Dr. Julian Whitaker, and all the independent authors, doctors and investigative journalists who are now covering the issue, the tide is turning against Big Pharma and the sick-care industry.
And the coming collapse of conventional medicine. Each will be recorded in history as resulting from the actions of those self-appointed people willing to speak out and take action against oppression and tyranny. The drug companies and power brokers of modern medicine don't realize it yet, but they have already sowed the seeds of their own destruction. Their endless quest for corporate profits at any cost has driven them to medical madness through disease mongering, the drugging of children, and conspiracy with the FDA (and other industry organizations).

What conventional medicine won't dare tell you about gall bladder removal surgery

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
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.

Alternative medicine is often practiced with the limited mindset of conventional medicine

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

Herbal medicine has a much higher purpose than to be relegated to the limited worldview of conventional medicine. Herbs should be used holistically to support a healthy lifestyle. Patients should be taught to use herbal medicine, acupuncture, chiropractic care, nutritional supplements and naturopathic advice in conjunction with their own good decisions about health. That's where herbs are truly powerful and can, indeed, help a person overcome practically any disease: cancer, heart disease, diabetes, depression, you name it.
Alternative medicine is no better than conventional medicine if you treat it as a temporary cover up for a pattern of symptoms that you created in your life through your unwillingness to make changes that lead to long term health. Thus when people sometimes say to me "Oh, yeah, I'm into alternative medicine, I once got acupuncture for my knee pain", I say to them "Well, that's not what alternative medicine is about -- it's not about covering up knee pain with some acupuncture needles.

What conventional medicine won't dare tell you about gall bladder removal surgery

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.
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.

Lying with statistics: How conventional medicine confuses the public with absolute risk vs. relative risk

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
Reverse the perspective for natural treatments At the same time, when conventional medicine promoters want to discredit a natural substance, an herbal remedy or the effects of nutrition on health, they always talk about absolute risk. If taking green tea supplements reduce the risk of cancer by that same 50 percent, eliminating cancer in one out of 100 patients, the news about that supplement would be something like this: "Green tea doesn’t work. Only helps one out of 100 patients.

Rather, we hope to shed light on the criminal activities of the corporations and non-profit sham groups who control conventional medicine today. We support lawful, grassroots whistleblowing and evidence gathering that can ultimately be assembled and turned over to the Dept. of Justice (or the FBI) for criminal prosecutions against corrupt officials and Pharma con-men.

Coming soon: Pharmaceutical ammo What's next for conventional medicine? It's not enough to demand the mass medication of the public by dripping toxic fluoride into public water supplies. Why not mass-medicate the entire population with pharmaceutical-tipped ammo? Prozac-coated bullets would make cops' jobs much easier: After you shoot patients, they actually feel better and are far less likely to sue! Statin-drug ammo would improve the patient's blood profile to make up for the blood lost after being shot.

Nearly everything that conventional medicine is telling you is fiction. They will create research and clinical trials designed to diminish side effects and maximize certain biochemical functions of their drugs, and if some results turn out to be negative, they will bury those results. The evidence they do show you has been distorted. This is what passes for "science" in the world of Big Pharma. But the Emperor has no clothes. Under the mask of science, there's nothing but fraud and profiteering at the core.
This is a very simple concept, but it escapes most thinking in conventional medicine. These diseases have many causes, and some are dietary. There are metabolic disruptors in most foods -- hydrogenated oils, sodium nitrite, saturated animal fats and homogenized milk fats. When you consume these disease-causing ingredients, you will experience certain results. Consuming unhealthy foods and avoiding healthy oils, like salmon oil, can lead to heart disease, nervous system dysfunction, birth defects and many other problems.
That is a statistic that comes out of conventional medicine published in The Journal of the American Medical Association. (Many in the alternative community believe those numbers are low estimates, by the way.) So how scientific can drug safety be if these approved drugs are killing more Americans than wars, terrorists, car accidents, murders and industrial accidents combined? Let's face it: The current pushing of drugs onto the population isn't scientific; it's just great marketing combined with political arm-twisting by Big Pharma.

When launched over the next 1 - 2 years, these will rattle the very foundations of conventional medicine and wake up the public to the truth of what's going on with rampant disease mongering, the drugging of children, medical experiments on humans, profiteering by drug companies, and the FDA-enforced monopoly drug racket that keeps Americans diseased and broke. The truth is coming out, and people will be shocked. It's like Hitler's suicide and the surrender of the Nazis in World War II. Suddenly, the German people woke up and realized they had been following a madman.

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.
In the United States today, if you don't submit to the harmful drugs and surgery of conventional medicine, you will be:
    Condemned as a criminal. Have your child stolen from you. Be hunted down by armed cops if you try to rescue your child. Receive a bill from the hospital for medical services you refused to authorize. 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.
