It's official. The leading cause of death in America is not heart disease, not cancer -- but medicine itself! A new book co-authored by nutritionist Gary Null (also author of Rx for Disaster) called -- appropriately enough - "Death by Medicine" claims that over 800,000 Americans die each year as a result of medical treatment. A study by the Nutrition Institute of America attributes over 800,000 deaths a year to "iatrogenic" causes -- induced inadvertently by medical treatment or diagnostic procedures. In 2001, in comparison, just fewer than 700,000 Americans died from heart disease and 550,000 died of cancer.

Today's politicians are seizing the moment to promote universal health care as a solution to the nation's blight. Do we want more people to be exposed to this type of care?

The type of medicine we are practicing is antiquated, often dangerous, and based on the wrong premises and outdated approaches. Instead, it must be founded on the laws of modern physics and biology that help us address the true causes of disease, not just finding better drugs or procedures to deal with them once they occur. 'UNPLUG FROM ACCELERATED AGING AND PLUG IN TO YOUR BIOLOGICAL POTENTIAL'

We do not realize that drug reactions are "new" disease symptoms and are in fact caused by the very drugs patients are already taking. Drug-induced illnesses are far more common than people would like to think, as most doctors do not explain possible side-effects to their patients. And the elderly that are on average of four medications suffer 9.6 million adverse drug reactions each year alone. Most of these same symptoms show up in younger patients as well. www.WorstPills.org is a website that is a helpful tool for understanding the full extent of some of the complications from drugs.

For example, these common illnesses can be caused by pharmaceutical drugs:

  • Depression -- Accutane, Advil, Cipro, Inderal, Pepcid, Tagamet, Zantac
  • Psychoses/Hallucinations -- Benadryl, Celebrex, Dexatrim, Vioxx
  • Dementia -- Aldomet, Inderal, Tagamet, Xanax
  • Parkinsonism -- Cardizem, Haldol, Elavil, Risperdal, Thorazine

Getting more people access to the wrong treatments does not help us in the long term to create a sustainable model of health for society. We are missing a direct discussion and analysis of the lack of quality in our healthcare system. And quality is defined as the health of our population, which is clearly worse than almost every developed nation and worse than many third world countries.  We are 45th in life expectancy, coming after Bosnia and just ahead of Albania !

For over 100 years conventional medicine has seized control of the US health care system and as a result we have over 800,000 people who are killed by interacting with this system.  In the last century it is likely that over 50 million Americans have died prematurely from this abuse.
There is an old saying: "He who pays the piper calls the tune." This is one of those eternal truths that exist - and always will exist - in business, in politics, and in education.

This is why drug-oriented "medicine" thrives today and gets so much financial support because it has such a large profit potential to maintain its powerful lobbying influence over our Congress and keep it that way.

The role played by the Rockefeller and Carnegie foundations as a means of gaining control over American medical schools at the beginning of the 20th Century is a harrowing tale of manipulation and deception.

We can say that these foundations captured control of the top of the health care pyramid with medical education when they were able to place their own people onto the boards of the various schools and into key administrative positions.

The middle of the pyramid was secured by the foundation's Association of American Medical Colleges, which set standards and unified the curricula.

And finally, the base of the pyramid was not consolidated until the foundations were able to select the teachers themselves by loading the staffs of our medical schools with men and women who, by preference and by training, were ideal propagators of the drug-oriented science that has come to dominate conventional medicine.

Then the food industry steps in, encouraging children to subsist on nutrient-poor, fatty-carbohydrate dense foods from vending machines for their breakfasts and lunches. This food comes from the farmers our government subsidizes to grow corn and soy crops with over $30 billion a year. Our tax dollars fuel the fast and junk food industry with high-fructose corn syrup and trans fatty acids, which are used to produce nutrient deficient, poor-quality, disease-creating ultra processed foods such as sodas, pastries and chips. At the same time, funds for local schools are limited.  So they cannot provide students with quality food choices and physical education.

Whatever basic nutrition that is allowed through the medical institutions will be minimal at best, and will be promulgated over and over again that natural sources of vitamins are in no way superior to those that are man-made or synthesized. Unfortunately, most of the people in the US are simply brainwashed from reality presented in this article.

Drug makers have embarked on unprecedented marketing campaigns. Spending on drug marketing has zoomed from $11 billion in 1997 to nearly $30 billion in 2005. Today, we are exposed to over 50 billion dollars of advertising from the drug and food industry that manipulates reality to paint a scenario where it makes perfect sense to choose drugs and surgery for chronic degenerative diseases.

Profit margins among the leading pharmaceutical companies routinely have been three and four times higher than in other Fortune 500 industries. Retail sales of five leading painkillers nearly doubled from 1997 to 2005, reflecting a surge in use by patients nationwide who are living in a world of pain, according to a new Associated Press analysis of federal drug prescription data.

Another example of misdirected funds comes from the American Cancer Society as it collects from the American public over 350 million dollars a year in contributions. Misleading because part of the money is used against innovative cancer researchers with the support of the FDA that conspires to stop promising treatments, and continues to allow so many victims undergo torture because of medical profiteering, outmoded thinking and a corrupt politics.

The FDA has been notorious for decades for their biased attacks and uneven handling of natural, non-drug/surgery/radiation based health options. An interesting book on the subject is, The Cancer Industry: The Classic Expose on the Cancer Establishment by

Ralph W. Moss. He's an ex-cancer insider at the Sloan Kettering Institute and details all of the alternative therapies which have been railroaded by the cancer establishment. An interesting read for anyone who has the nagging feeling that the cancer war is being lost because pharmaceutical companies are avoiding possible natural, non patentable cures.

Unfortunately, the drug and food companies did not count on the Internet which allows web sites like this one to tell the "other" side of the story.

From its present day patterns conventional medicine would only embrace the field of nutrition when the commercialized food industry and pharmaceutical drug cartels have the same control and monopoly over the vitamin and food industry essential to the nutritional industry. A move many lobbyists are getting legislators to create for them through new laws and treaties.

There is no dispute to the inherent problems in healthcare, where the whole system profits from reducing access to care, denying care, avoiding preventive care, or shifting costs to employers. The problem is not only access to healthcare, but of the type of healthcare that is practiced. Until it is profitable for everyone to help create health rather than disease, we will not thrive as a society as economics seems to be our prime motivator. 

Rx Awareness - Prescription Medications

One of the greatest mistakes we make in our healthcare system is looking at the body as a machine, something that's strictly automated rather than seeing it as a biodynamic being, and a manifestation of energy. This is critical because when we view something that's based on a hypothetical construct that's erroneous, then we're looking for solutions or we're creating a situation where we treat the body based on a false premise. And essentially it's sending us down the wrong path, the wrong direction. It's like trying to use a map of Florida to navigate through the state of South Dakota. It just doesn't fit and it doesn't tell you where you are or whether you're going in the right direction.


Think about how all life started with the formative forces that came into the world, and started out with the expression of the first element hydrogen. Hydrogen interacting with the forces of nature in what is referred to as the fusion process expanded into helium, and so forth. And subsequently the whole periodic table of the elements evolved and continued to expand and express the natural forces of pressure and space as they were impressed into physical form.

 

Edgar Cayce (2012-1) said it this way. -"For, returning to the first principle, - as there are those forces that move one within another to bring harmony, as for light or color, or sound, or motion, all of these are but the variation of movement, vibration. What is the First Cause? That from which all emanates, the SPIRIT of the force or influence itself; breaking itself upon the atomic structures, bringing those influences as it associates itself one with another in its varied forms of atomic structures."

 

What's interesting is that when you disrupt the harmony of a natural energy flow, you can create greater mass. These displaced and incoherent energies would vortex and form into ball like masses, and you'd see a growth like a tumor or a cyst form in the body. The multiple systems that make up our being, a network of cross-linked organs, glands and systems all affect one another. Mistakes or stresses to these systems overload or overwhelm the organism creating an excess of energetic pressure. Imbalances to these systems are what we experience as aging.

 

Each of our twenty plus organs and glands resonate energies at different levels and signatures, with their own specific purpose, plan and function. Our organs were designed to express and discriminate their specific energy functions and combine with each other to provide solutions or resolution to life's experience. When there is a confusion of energy or a disruption of this natural flow that is a part of our being energetic and out-flowing, this would cause the energy to coalesce a form of protection for the body. To protect itself it would encapsulate this incoherent energy forming greater mass or matter. In the cardiovascular system you would see this abnormal energy flow manifest as plaquing or a build up on the arteries. You would see it in the tissue as a sclerotic state or calcification of the tissue that could manifest as stiffness, pain or loss of flexibility. In the kidneys or gall bladder as stones. And then you would go to the doctor with your symptom of constricted energy and the doctor would ask you, what's the matter? Well, that's exactly what happened. The incoherent energy that has gotten out of control; has slowed down to form matter or come into the world of form from the world of energy (E = mc²).

 

From his book "A New Earth" Eckhart Tolle writes: 'The physical organism, your body, has its own intelligence, as does the organism of every other life-form. And that intelligence reacts to what your mind is saying, reacts to your thoughts. So motion is the body's reaction to your mind. The body's intelligence is, of course, an inseparable part of universal intelligence, one of its countless manifestations. It gives temporary cohesion to the atoms and molecules that make up your physical organism. It is the organizing principle behind the working of all the organs of the body, the conversion of oxygen and food into energy, the heartbeat and circulation of the blood, the immune system that protects the body from invaders, the translation of sensory input into nerve impulses that are sent to the brain, decoded there, and reassembled into a coherent inner picture of outer reality. All these, as well as thousands of other simultaneously occurring functions, are coordinated perfectly by that intelligence. You don't run your body. The intelligence does. It also is in charge of the organism's responses to its environment.'

 

We are currently experiencing a parallel view of biological medicine, similar to what happened in the early 1900's when Newtonian physics - the concept that a material universe rules the world - was discovered to be completely incorrect; that we do not live in a universe based on matter, but actually a universe based on energy - because atoms are not made out of matter. They're a composition of forces of energy. 

 

For some people, energy medicine is an uncomfortable term. And it is often said that there is no scientific basis for energy medicine. My prediction is that energy medicine will increasingly become a major aspect of not just anti-aging medicine but all forms of medicine because nothing happens in life without an energy exchange. Communication or acquisition of knowledge of any kind occurs only with an energy transfer. There are no exceptions. This is a rule of nature. Hence, EVERYTHING that is material is made, or created out of energy.  

 

I feel the area that the public should be made most aware of is not only the lack of protective legislation from our government, but the fact that conventional medicine is based on an archaic model of Newtonian concepts. And what I mean by that is that conventional medicine is actually based on 100-year-old concepts. Over one hundred years ago the physicists of the time, the leading scientists, came out with an understanding of quantum dynamics, which means that we have a greater understanding that we our energy more than we are matter. Or how matter and energy are interchanged.

 

We're composed of body, mind and spirit. And when you're looking for anti-aging, or you're looking to reach your biological potential, these three components of our lives need to be aligned in harmony. We are free to live our lives in health and peace when this energetic dynamic happens. And only when an imbalance or blockage of energy exists on one or more of these levels does an illness manifest itself.

 

We often believe that advances in medicine have to be a new drug, a new laser or a surgical intervention to be powerful enough to improve our health and well being. There needs to be something really high-tech and expensive. We often have a hard time believing that the simple choices that we make in our lives each day like how much we exercise, what we eat, the supplements we take and how we respond to stress can make a powerful difference in our health and our well-being. But they do and we can show how this works and what's the best way to experience the health and vitality everyone is looking for.

 

"...through the optimum use of vitamin supplements and other health measures, the length of the period of well-being and the length of life could be increased by 25 to 35 years." - Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling

 

We have a systematic failure in our health care system that preys on the poor, elderly and defenseless youth in our country. What's in the way of discovering our health and well being?

 

Dr. Bruce Lipton offers encouraging and enlightening advice on how to do this, and reminds us that conventional medicine is in fact referred to as "the central dogma" in medical schools. And dogma literally means, "A belief based on religious persuasion and not scientific fact. Clearing away the problems that prevent your body from healing itself is almost always both safer and more powerful than the so-called "heroic interventions" that Western medicine is based on - drugs and surgery that treat the symptoms, without ever addressing the problems that caused the symptoms in the first place."

 

Today's challenges are hostile energies that are getting so grossly aggressive against us that the body must be able to solve its problems at a much faster rate than it is doing. That's the only way for mankind to survive in this present day environment. The ravages of high-tech diseases will take their toll on the human beings that are unable to solve dilemmas rapidly or unable to retrieve information of a similar nature from the past. What we're doing is accelerating the aging process by disrupting and slowing down the coherent energy to create even more matter.

 

2008 is the start of the baby boomer explosion. One statistic states that a baby boomer is turning 62 every minute of every hour for the 365 days of 2008. The Boomers, those 81 million people born between 1946 and 1964, have influenced and shaped almost every aspect of American life - its culture, economics, education, housing, recreation, and politics. As boomers we need to reshape our view of health and health care. The harm that the present health care delivery system causes now outweighs the good. It's time that balance gets restored - taking the good of medicine and replacing the bad with new ways of thinking and more appropriate ways of taking care of your body.
