Greetings:
This is part old, part new, attached, and if you want a video to embed, re Obamacare
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/
Seeing ObamaCare as a pending disaster, big insurers are cutting
their support. It wasn’t a good deal for taxpayers when the only people
who signed up were poorer people whose premiums were largely paid by
taxpayers. (WSJ, 8-5-16)
Why should our taxes support medical care for people who eat, drink, smoke and abuse as they please?
We shouldn’t ‘Ask-our-doctor’ for a prescription when the huge
majority of symptoms come from what people put in their mouths. It’s
usually reversible if they know the cause and they change their habits.
But it’s easier said than done. Doing physicals on executives,
several said sugar, cheese or meat bothered their joints, but when I got
headaches, I didn’t know the cause. I consulted a neurologist who
taught medical students and he said food was an unlikely cause of my
tension headaches.
But an allergist, member of the American Academy of Environmental
Medicine, tested me and found I was allergic to wheat—bread, pasta and
pastry. When I quit those foods 100%, no more headaches! This concept
applies to most chronic conditions when the doctor doesn’t know the
cause, and I was board-certified in internal medicine.
The body builds a tolerance to the allergic food, like to
cigarettes—people don’t get sick when they smoke—they get symptoms when
they don’t smoke, and that’s how food allergy symptoms can manifest.
If I had started down the path of prescription drugs, I would
probably be an addict now, as millions are dependent on drugs for relief
of symptoms. A trial of avoiding suspected favorite foods or beverages
is recommended (especially with caffeine as it can cause a wide range of
problems). Avoidance for a minimum of a week will often increase one’s
symptoms for 2-3 days before a person sees improvement by the 5th -7th day.
Alcohol, tobacco and caffeine can cause severe reactions on
withdrawal, but fatality is rare. Withdrawal symptoms are just a natural
response to the body cleansing itself.
“Drug action always represents artificial interference with the
natural functioning of the organism. In the widest sense of the word,
every drug is by definition a poison; pharmacology and toxicology are
one, and the art of medicine is to use these poisons beneficially.” Drill’s Textbook of Pharmacology in Medicine, Possible Mechanisms of Drug Action, Chapter 5.
Toxicology was the science of how much chemical kills half the lab
animals. The rules have changed, but the game is the same due to Adverse
Drug Reactions as the leading cause of illness, disability and death,
supported by the following medical reports:
Adverse Drug Reactions put 2.2 million people in hospitals and 106,000 died, “making these reactions between the fourth and sixth leading cause of death.” Journal of American Medical Assoc, 4-15-1998
But how many died at home? 199,000 according to the Western Journal of Medicine, June, 2000. Deaths in and outside hospitals from prescription drugs totaled 305,000, with 8 million admissions to the hospital and 3 million for long-term care (nursing
homes–these people were messed up for life, and the drug companies get a
free pass from the Supreme Court—they usually can’t be sued for death
or damages they caused.
“From 1998 through 2005, reported serious adverse drug events increased 2.6-fold…fatal adverse drug events increased 2.7-fold…” Archives of Internal Medicine, Sept 10, 2007, p 1752.
But if deaths increased 2.7 fold from 1998 to 2005, they are increased 6.9-fold by 2016, because
the cause of the increase, TV drug ads approved in 1997, continue
unabated—if anything, they are enhanced. 305,000 deaths/year in 1998
have become 2.1 million/year. These aren’t old people in nursing homes
like those dying from heart disease –most of these people weren’t in the hospital when the drug was prescribed.
2,100,000 deaths/year is nearly 7000 deaths
daily–like two 9-11′s daily! On 9-11, Congress grounded all planes. Why
not stop the drugs or hold their makers responsible? For each death, 40
people are hospitalized with serious ADR, and 15 go to a nursing home,
messed up for life in most cases.
Confronted with such figures, a U.S. Senator said I was wasting my
time, saying “they own us,” referring to the pharmaceutical industry
that spends $400 million/year on congressional re-election campaigns,
(Marcia Angell, MD, former editor of New England Journal of Medicine, 60 Minutes’ interview).
Congress voted for ObamaCare—20,000 pages largely written by the
drug companies, but Congress declines ObamaCare for themselves. How dumb
can we be?
People should consider that the last call in the Bible to come out
of Babylon, the confused systems of society, Revelation 18. Verse 23
says all nations are deceived by [pharmakeia, Greek] Medical
texts are filled with diseases of “unknown etiology.” They don’t know
the cause, so how can the drug be the cure?
Drugs are substances foreign to the body of a poisonous nature.
Some people need hormone help with insulin or thyroid and being natural
to the body, they aren’t drugs in the same sense of this discussion,
though they are regulated by the FDA.
For help to reverse many chronic conditions, the reader should
check out a DVD featuring Bill Clinton’s cardiologist from the Cleveland
Clinic—five minutes can be seen athttp://RichardRuhling.com and the best book I knows for preventive health care athttp://ChooseABetterDestiny.
