 It has become such a complete joke that modern medicine is actually harmful to the public. In other words, Americans would actually be far healthier if all the M.D.s, drug companies and FDA bureaucrats suddenly disappeared tomorrow! Pharmaceutical use would plummet, side effects would vanish, rates of fictitious disease diagnosis would drop to zero, and America would be a healthier, happier country. Our sick care system is, bluntly stated, keeping us all sick.
Doctors, of course, always talk about their evidence. "Where's the evidence that nutrition has any value? |

 Consider the following true facts about modern medicine and the FDA:
1) It is currently illegal for vitamin companies to tell the tuth about the health benefits of their products. The FDA has attacked and threatened cherry growers for posting scientifically-validated information about the health benefits of cherries on their websites. |

| And don't believe for a minute that modern medicine is based on anything resembling real science. The science was abandoned decades ago. All that's left today is an empty shell of a medical system that claims to treat patients but really just uses them as profit-generating machines to enrich some of the wealthiest corporations in the world: the drug companies. All the while, the deaths mount up... over half a million Americans killed by prescription drugs since 9/11, and the number increases by the minute. Imagine a modern nuclear missile striking a significant U.S. |

 When it comes to health, our modern world has lost its mind, and the so-called science backing it up has lost all touch with scientific reality. modern medicine is a hoax. Science has been abandoned for marketing. Safety has been thrown out the window and replaced with profit potential. |
| Here are the seven facts you need to remember about everything you're seeing today in modern medicine:
Fact #1: 90 percent of all diseases (cancer, diabetes, depression, heart disease, etc.) are easily preventable through diet, nutrition, sunlight and exercise. None of these solutions are ever promoted because they make no money.
Fact #2: Nearly all the consumption of pharmaceuticals today is a direct result of marketing to the public and covertly bribing physicians to write more prescriptions. There is very little drug consumption based on scientific merit. |

| REPPED: When studying the actions of the FDA, the American Medical Association, the American Cancer Society and the behavior of doctors, medical journals and drug companies, the phrase "evil empire" quickly comes to mind. modern medicine is a medical racket, a drug monopoly and disease treatment scam that has been foisted upon the people of western nations (America, Canada, United Kingdom, etc.) in order to maximize corporate profits. |

 First, modern medicine has had little to do with the control of deadly infectious diseases, such as typhoid, scarlet fever, and diphtheria.. According to two prominent medical sociologists: "3.5 percent probably represents a reasonable upper limit estimate of the total contribution of medical measures to the decline in mortality in the United States since 1900."22
Second, modern medicine has had little impact on overall life expectancy. We don't live much longer today than we did at the turn of the twentieth-century. |

 Before the advent of modern medicine, the family was dependent on a mother's
XV intuition accompanied by her time-honored remedies as the first line of defense in preserving the family's health and well-being. Going to see the doctor at the first sniffle, cough, or other sign of distress used to be "Plan B," not "Plan A." But as utilization of modern medicine increased, the focus on using food as medicine declined. |

| The genuinely decisive technology of modern medicine," wrote Lewis Thomas, no apologist for modern medicine, "is best exemplified by 'immunization against diphtheria and pertussis [whooping cough]'." The treatment of tuberculosis, he continued, "represents a milestone in human endeavor."7
It would seem that Thomas is on firm ground. The research that led to the development of diphtheria antitoxin was awarded the very first Nobel Prize in medicine in 1901. |

 Why I Am Legend Echoes a Dangerous Truth in Modern Medicine
I Am Legend should, I believe, serve as a doorway through which we can all ask ourselves very serious questions about modern medicine mucking around with human DNA. Right now, we have food companies growing genetically modified crops that, if subjected to unlucky gene mutations, could potentially wipe out significant portions of the global food supply, leading to devastating famine and a sharp decline in the global population. That's not fiction: It's the status quo in modern agriculture today. No special effects required. |

| And many of the shortcuts of modern medicine are not without their costs. In fact, Americans who visit physicians following adverse reactions to medications account for well over two million physician visits each year!
This book aims to bring life-saving foods back into our health plans and to resurrect traditional medicinal uses for foods, many of which are now backed by modern science.

 They look to modern medicine as their savior and to medications as the cure. Sadly only after they become ill do patients realize how ineffective our treatments actually are.
As the baby boomer generation enters their fifties, I believe more and more individuals are going to become proactive with their health.

 Perhaps because childbirth was a life-threatening event before modern medicine, pregnancy was considered a period of confinement—a time to stay home, reduce activity, and rest in bed. It might be dangerous to disturb the unborn child. Exercise? Out of the question.
It's only recently that doctors have begun to shift their thinking. In 2002 the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) began recommending at least thirty minutes a day of moderate intensity aerobic exercise for pregnant and postpartum mothers. |

 The Tragedy of Misdiagnosis: Two Tales of Unnecessary Suffering
One of the saddest and biggest tragedies of modern medicine is that many people suffering from typical symptoms of hypoglycemia are dismissed by their doctors as hypochondriacs or mentally unhinged. Worse yet, they're given diagnoses that are erroneous, if not ludicrous. You'll better grasp the full extent of the situation by learning about two such unnecessary nightmares.
The first horrific tale involves the late Stephen Gyland, M.D. |

 Despite all its advances, modern medicine can only cure vitamin deficiencies, bacterial infections and a few caused by viruses, and the rare cancer. We still can't cure viruses that range from the common cold to the ones causing SARS or HIV. But while most medicines are not curative, they certainly can help the patient, either by beating back the cause of the disease or by reducing symptoms. The new medicines for HIV disease are illustrative. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). |
| And understanding what modern medicine knows about these syndromes—clinical disease entities characterized by widespread pain, bone-crushing fatigue, and difficulty with attention and concentration—should help you cope better, too.
Tips on Choosing a Doctor
A couple of things will naturally help you communicate with your doctor. If you have been seeing the same doctor for a period of time, you will have developed a relationship. That helps. The opposite of this is going to an emergency room or to an urgicare center ("doc-in-a-box"). |
| That form of treatment may have made you uncomfortable in the care of your primary doctor, who may have had you out the door at the end of fifteen minutes, even though you really had not communicated your concerns or learned how to deal with them.
In modern medicine, few initial consultations are booked for longer than one hour. Medical accountants have rightly calculated that nearly every patient can receive a total and comprehensive evaluation in this amount of time. The operative phrase, though, is "nearly every patient. |

| If we go all the way back to Hippocrates, the wisdom of the day was that emotions come from the heart and that that's where treatment should start for maladies of mood. modern medicine has separated mind and body, but it turns out that, in a very concrete way, Hippocrates had it right from the start. Just in the past ten years scientists have begun to understand how a molecule that originates in the heart plays on our emotions.
ANP is secreted by heart muscles when we exercise, and it makes its way through the blood-brain barrier. |

 What skeptics should really be considering
Consider these facts about modern medicine:
There is currently no requirement whatsoever that surgical procedures be scientifically proven as either safe or effective before being widely performed on the public.
Chemotherapy has been scientifically proven to be worthless at curing cancer, enhancing quality of life or protecting the health of the patient. In fact, chemotherapy kills patients, and even the ones who survive it are left with permanent damage to their brain ("chemo brain"), kidneys, liver and other organs. |

 While modern medicine leads us to believe the reduction of epidemic diseases like smallpox and polio is due to the introduction of mass vaccination programs, the research of Miller and Scheibner found this to be totally unsubstantiated. They found that infectious diseases, which were rampant in Europe even a century ago, had declined up to 90% before any vaccine had been used in large sections of the population. Diseases such as bubonic plague and scarlet fever disappeared entirely on their own without any vaccination programs at all. |
| For the most part, modern medicine practices disease treatment, and subscribes to the belief that the symptom is the problem. That is, if you can eliminate the symptom, you have conquered the disease. But that is not true. I am not saying that modern medical care has no place. On the contrary, when we are in a crisis such as a traumatic injury, heart attack, or severe allergic reaction, we have some of the finest lifesaving care, procedures, technology, and medicine in the world available to us. My own life was saved by penicillin when I had blood poisoning at the age of 13. |

 One of the largest and most controversial debates in modern medicine revolves around hormone replacement therapy (HRT or HT). For more than thirty years, observational research studies on HRT consistently reported significantly reduced rates of cardiovascular disease in women who used either estrogen alone or estrogen plus progestins,15 and HRT was routinely prescribed for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease. |

 Everyone started with some sort of preconceived notion, and from a logical point of view, one preconception was as good as another.... modern medicine has as little sympathy for allopathy as for homeopathy.' However, his findings set a new standard for medical education in which basic sciences, laboratory training, and hands-on clinical education reigned supreme. Few of the homeopathic medical schools (and indeed few 'regular' institutions) met this standard, or could raise the funds necessary to improve their facilities. |

 The 26 beliefs that drive modern medicine and the FDA
All herbs are dangerous and might kill you.
Vitamins and dietary supplements are not only useless; they're so dangerous that they should be regulated or banned.
The only thing more dangerous than dietary supplements is allowing the public to have access to accurate information about dietary supplements. To maintain control, the public must be kept ignorant of the medicinal uses of all substances other than patented chemicals. |
| In time, by the way, our system of modern medicine will cease to exist. No system of medicine based on beliefs that contradict reality has any future. |

 I've documented it in far more detail in my book, Natural Health Solutions and the Conspiracy to Keep You From Knowing About Them, which reveals shocking details, documents and photographs showing how modern medicine is a system that's literally designed to keep the people in a state of chronic disease.
The FDA doesn't want people to prevent cancer either. That's why they've aggressively attacked companies offering anti-cancer nutrients, and completely censored the very mention of the word "cancer" by supplement companies. |
