Why Has Modern Medicine Failed Us - Part 2 by Tony M. Isaacs
"The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest
his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the
cause and prevention of disease."
- Thomas Edison
As we discussed in the first article in this series, modern medicine
has failed us when it comes to treating disease and illness. Despite
half a century of huge leaps in technology and science, we have
cured virtually nothing in that time. Instead, we have witnessed
a never ending cascade of new FDA approved medicines (there are
over 15,000 now) that by and large only treat symptoms instead of
the underlying causes. 95% of those medicines have side effects,
many of which are quite dangerous, and the continued use of most
drugs most often leads to still more drugs in a never ending cycle.
It is a great model for profit, but a horrible one for humanity.
In this installment, we will take a look at our doctors and how
their practices have failed us. First of all, let me say quite clearly:
Don’t blame our doctors for their failings! For the most part,
our doctors are hard working genuinely concerned individuals who
seek to relieve pain and suffering and treat our diseases to the
best of their knowledge and abilities. And, when it comes to repairing
broken parts – like the broken bones and physical trauma one
sees in serious automobile accidents – Western medicine has
no equal. The failure of Western medical doctor’s practices
lies mainly in the fact that our doctors treat disease and illness
the same way that they do in repairing physical trauma – they
try to fix the broken part or treat or eliminate the symptom.
As Jon Barron points out in his wonderful book “The Miracle
Doctors”, this failing in the approach of modern medicine
comes from looking at the body as a collection of parts instead
of as an overall organic whole that must maintain a healthy balance.
Imbalances, deficiencies and impairments in our immune system and
overall health, along with toxins and contaminants are the underlying
causes of symptoms that manifest themselves as conditions like cancer,
diabetes, hepatitis-c and other degenerative illnesses. Just as
in treating broken bones and other damaged body parts, doctors really
are treating illness and disease to the best of their abilities
and knowledge; however, they are uniformed and misinformed about
the natural ways to maintain our bodies in optimum health, mostly
through no fault of their own.
Doctors have been taught for several generations in medical school
that the way to treat disease and illness is to prescribe FDA approved
medications made in the labs of the Big Pharma giants – a
doctrine that has been echoed and stressed by their parent AMA.
For almost a full century now, our doctors have been taught very
little about nutrition and the benefits of vitamins and minerals
– and have in fact been taught that natural remedies are at
best quaint and ineffective folk medicine and at worst dangerous
snake oil that should be avoided and suppressed. And who is by far
the major source of funding for the medical institutions that teach
this doctrine? Big Pharma!
Take for example, what we know to be true about cancer versus what
modern medicine does to treat it. We know that:
• The development of cancer indicates that our natural first
line of defense, our immune system and that the presence of either
toxins and pathenogens, or some imbalance in our bodies have enabled
cancer to gain an upper hand.
• Cancer cannot develop without an impaired liver.
• Cancer cannot survive in an alkaline environment, nor can
it survive in a highly oxygenated environment.
• Detoxing and cleansing our colons and liver helps restore
balance, prepares our bodies to better be able utilize natural immune
boosters and cancer fighters and paves the way to rebuilding our
livers and immune systems.
• Cancer cells are diseased, impaired and/or beset by pathogens
and have lost the ability to be shut off by the body in what is
called cellular apoptosis. These cancerous cells simply become abnormal
and outlive the other cells in their normal cell life/replacement
cycle and end up crowding out a territory over time.
• Iodine, vitamin D, and potassium are all vital to beat and
ward off cancer.
• Fresh air, pure water and sunshine are vital to healthy
bodies that can fight off and beat conditions like cancer.
• A natural diet of uncontaminated raw vegetables and raw
fruits, with plenty of omega-3’s and balanced nutrition has
been proven to be effective in numerous natural anti-cancer protocols.
• A great number of natural botanicals and supplements, such
as those containing beta glucans and other long-chain polysaccharides,
the oleander remedy I write about, Colloidal Silver, Inositol (IP-6)
and many others have been proven to boost the immune system, destroy
pathogens, protect our cells, and beat cancer.
• Sugar feeds cancer.
And so, when we go to an oncologist and are diagnosed with cancer
what is the prescribed treatment? Does it incorporate ANY of the
above elements? No, sadly it does not. Our doctor prescribes what
he or she has been taught: cut out, radiate or poison the symptom
and do nothing to address the underlying causes and natural imbalances
that enabled led to the symptom.
As a result, the way is paved for the return of the cancer or the
introduction of another cancer or serious condition. Even worse,
the road to further illness is often made easier due to the damage
to the immune system and major organs caused by the treatment of
the symptom.
As noted philosopher Henri-Frederic Amiel observed "In health
there is freedom. Health is the first of all liberties." If
we value our freedom of access to truthful information and to safer,
less expensive and more effective natural vitamins, supplements,
minerals and therapies, it is our duty to educate ourselves and
our fellow citizens. Once freedoms are lost, they are doubly hard
to ever regain.
Until next time, live long, live healthy and live happy!
(In the next installment, we will take a closer look at Big Pharma
and the agencies and institutions such as the FDA, AMA. NIH and
American Cancer Society. It is our institutions, aided and orchestrated
by Big Pharma, and society as a whole who are largely to blame for
the failure of modern medicine.)
