"Death By Medicine" (documentary)

Ashley Wells and CC Liu (Wisdom Quarterly)
() Death by Medicine explores America's medical paradigm, the current health crisis, and a healthier, more holistic system. Based on Gary Null's groundbreaking based on hard science the medical industry claims as its backing while ignoring finding or not actually testing its interventions and drugs.*

Western Medicine Doesn't Kill, Does It?
Wisdom Quarterly (ANALYSIS)
Iatrogenic injuries (those caused by the practice of medicine) is becoming the leading cause of death in the US. This means that doctors, hospitals, insurance agents, PPOs, and the general corporate culture actually kills more Americans than any other cause of death.

Few, for example, die of cancer nowadays. But the death rates for those undergoing invasive cancer "treatments" are sky high.

Of course, it is not interested in "curing" anyone, just creating a symptom-control income stream. And it has been very successful at doing that. Corporate greed trumps medicinal need.

Since no one knows the word "iatrogenic," no one likes to think Western (allopathic) medicine does more to harm us than help us. Sure, bones can be set well, but every pharmaceutical is a poison by definition (the biblical practice of "sorcery," pharmakos, which got Sodom and Gomorrah in big trouble with the judgy and angry space Gods). That is why they have to be tested for safety, which is more important than effectiveness.

And of all those that are found to be safe enough and rubber stamped by the industry-controlled FDA, a wolf guarding the hen house situation, there are still catastrophes: Massive lawsuits cause the pulling of wonder drugs from the market when they are found to have side effects that were hidden, under reported, or unforeseen.

Neither abuse nor accidents are not the worst of it. Most pharmaceutical kill when used as directed.



But those lawsuits aren't massive enough to cut into profits. They are externalities (costs unloaded onto society) accounted for by lawyers and well paid researchers. The statistics from inconvenient lawsuits amount to more deaths than result from US wars (troops only, never counting the civilians the troops are there killing).

This, too, has been taken care of by lobbying for legislation to make sure cases do not go to trial but to arbitration. And even if they do go before a jury and win, the judge simply removes the punitive judgments in accordance with law. It's the "magic of the marketplace" when corporations buy and sell politicians, judges, and elections.

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power," is a famous quote attributed to Italian fascist Mussolini (publiceye.org). The pharmaceutical-industrial complex wins again.
  • *The information in "Death By Medicine" is detailed in Gary Null Ph.D.'s book with statistical evidence of hundreds of thousands of injuries and deaths due to conventional medicine. How does the money-making system work? The pharmaceutical industry, associations, drug reps, medical schools, medical journals, and the absence of real medical science are all implicated in the scheme to grow rich in spite of millions of injuries and deaths. The lack of oversight by so-called regulatory agencies, private insurance firms, and lobbying influence on our legislators and representatives ensure the system stays in place no matter how much harm is done when treatments are more deadly than diseases. The Western medical system is broken beyond repair. We need a new medical paradigm.

  • Mussolini, a misunderstood monster?

Medical Holocaust? Keep it quiet.

The Drug Companies' Big Hoax


(WQ) In Biblical English "sorcery" means the practice of concocting pharmaceutical "poisons," such as recent vaccinations and painkillers, from the Greek pharmakos and pharmakeia. It is interesting that while the USA makes up only 5 percent of the world's population, it constitutes 66 percent of the psychiatric drugs prescribed on the planet.
  • phármakos – properly, a sorcerer; used of people using drugs and "religious incantations" to drug people into living by their illusions (strongsnumbers.com)
Drug Companies May be Perpetuating an Enormous Hoax
Are most psychiatric drugs nothing more than [poisonous] placebos? If that's the case, then drug companies are making massive amounts of money selling patients what is actually nothing at all. We suspect that the swine flu "epidemic" was -- in large part -- a "hoax" perpetrated by drug companies. But psychiatric illnesses are real, despite the fact that some of them such as ADHD may be over diagnosed. More

Medicine’s Great Divide — the Alternative

Medicine’s Great Divide — The View from the Alternative Side
The relationship between conventional and alternative medicine is wary at best. What is needed is expanded medicine, which encompasses the best that both kinds of medicine have to offer.

I might as well begin by being blunt. There is no love lost between the medicine I was taught in medical school and the kind I practice now, which used to travel under the name of "mind-body medicine."

It acquired Ayurveda (the traditional medicine of India) along the way and now incorporates influences from many other strains of healing. The relationship between conventional and alternative medicine is like a bad marriage, only in reverse: It began with a divorce, has moved to the stage of wary mediation, and holds some prospects of reaching a shy courtship some day in the future.

The grounds for the divorce are bitter. Conventional medicine is offended that alternative medicine even exists. For the average physician, to hear that an allergy patient is taking extract of the herb Nettle to treat his symptoms or that a breast cancer patient is being treated with coffee enemas and a macrobiotic diet arouses scorn.

Over a decade ago, when the New England Journal of Medicine reported that Americans pay more visits annually to alternative practitioners than to MDs [1], the attitude of the editorial writer was barely disguised dismay and disbelief. It was as if the whole country had turned its back on jet travel to return to the horse and buggy.

Yet at bottom no one could really object to the aims of alternative medicine, which are to bring relief to the whole patient. Sick people come to us in hopes that their suffering will end. More
