Doctors are here to help us, right? Doctors should be trusted 100% when it comes to your health, right? Doctors know everything there is to know about health, medicine, and the most effective and safest ways to recover from illness, right?
The answers to these questions may shock you. I myself am an Australian Medical Doctor having a double degree in Medicine and in Surgery from Australia, yet the details I am about to share with you in this article are coming from my heart as a person concerned with the wellbeing of my fellow brothers and sisters, and not as a “know-it-all-doctor” who is not willing to admit the truth.
The truth is doctors just don’t “know it all” – and I’m being brutally honest here. Medicine is such a huge area and there is just so much to learn and there are so many different ways to help the body heal, that it is impossible for any one person to know it all.
And unfortunately most western medical doctors are only trained a certain way, and are only taught certain things about how to interpret signals from the body, and more importantly, they are only taught how to “treat” diseases or illnesses using very limited methods and techniques such as surgery, drugs, radiation. There is only a limited emphasis on other healing modalities such as natural drug free therapies.
And herein lies the problem of western “drug based” medicine; it is too narrowly focused and it refuses to look at the whole picture and to view a person for what he or she truly is: a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual being with many facets which are all interrelated. We are not merely physical beings, and when we are treated as such problems arise.
Doctors – The 3rd Leading Cause of Death!
It may surprise you to know that evidence published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) which is the one of the largest and one of the most respected medical journals in the entire world, reveals that 225,000 people every year are being killed in the USA due to doctors and the health system.
Dr. Barbara Starfield of the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health, the author of the published article, lists the number of deaths and their causes as follows:
• 12,000 – due to unnecessary surgery • 7,000 – as a results of medication errors in hospitals • 20,000 – due to other errors in hospitals • 80,000 – from infections in hospitals • 106,000 -- non-error, negative effects of drugs That’s a total of 225,000 deaths per year from iatrogenic causes!!
What does the word iatrogenic mean? This term is defined as induced in a patient by a physician’s activity, manner, or therapy or of a complication of treatment. These numbers are conservative – she states that the deaths due to iatrogenic causes could be as high as 284,000!
In any case, 225,000 deaths per year represents the third leading cause of death in the United States, after deaths from heart disease and cancer. This is startling to say the least!
Even if we use these conservative figures, there is a wide margin between these numbers of deaths and the next leading cause of death (cerebrovascular disease).
Dr. Starfield also states that:
• most of the data are derived from studies in hospitalized patients.
• Second, these estimates are for deaths only and do not include negative effects that are associated with disability or discomfort.
These statistics do not even include the deaths caused from doctors in private medical practice, nor the deaths from adverse drug reactions caused outside of hospitals. God knows how many extra deaths you could add to these figures!
Evidence from other studies indicates that as many as 20% to 30% of patients receive inappropriate care. An estimated 44,000 to 98,000 among them die each year as a result of medical errors.
So what is the answer? How can you make certain that you don’t end being another one of these terminal statistics?
It Is Up To You to Educate Yourself & Take Control of Your Own Health!
Education and knowledge are the keys- don’t rely on anyone else when it comes to your own health, or that of your family. Do your own research, ask many questions, and if you are not comfortable about any proposed treatment, don’t do it! Seek other opinions and look for a doctor who is not so stuck on outdated medical models of treatment that are narrowly focused on curing “disease” using the latest and most expensive drug, chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.
There are other solutions available, it’s up to you to educate yourself and to seek them out. Doctors tend to be too drug orientated these days rather than searching for the underlying or root causes of the problem.
Achieving wonderful and long lasting health is a bit like detective work: it takes time, it takes effort, it takes working with the patient on every aspect of their emotional, mental, physical and spiritual being in order to slowly but surely turn things around and bring them back on the path of everlasting health.
There is no such thing as a quick fix in my opinion – if you have developed an illness, it has been brewing for a long time in your physical body. More than likely you have failed to adequately cleanse and detoxify your body on a regular basis, and you have also probably failed to give your body the correct nutrition, exercise, clean water and oxygen that it requires for normal function. Your hormones are also likely to be low or depleted.
Get these things right before you start looking at a quick fix with drugs – your body is never deficient in ANY drug! They may mask your symptoms in the short term, but they will not solve your underlying problems and deficiencies.
