In the year 1900, the United States of America was the healthiest nation out of 100 nations surveyed. It is sad to say that in 1980, the USA dropped to the 95th position. As modern and sophisticated as this nations medical field has become, (trillions of dollars are spent yearly on research) more people die of health related issues every year than have ever died in any war! We're talking about 4,000 people dyeing daily of cancer and heart disease alone! In addition to this, there are 140,000 deaths annually in the United States caused by adverse drug reactions administered by hospital staff right in the hospital (Let’s Live, December issue, page 17), and another 98, 000 killed in mishaps due to surgical procedures. Did I mention the thousands that die from infections induced in hospitals and the countless number of people that are permanently maimed in injured? More people die today than did 100 years ago when all they had was whiskey for anesthetic. Today we have all the technology, and spend trillions of dollars a year, for what?

Dr. Richard Shultz, one of the most respected healers of all time expressed the following: "Doctors are killing us. You go in to your doctor with a complaint, they recommend a surgery and tell you to go back out and do the same thing you were doing before- the same thing that caused your disease. If your doctor doesn’t tell you to change your lifestyle, to educate you on what caused your disease, get out of there or you’ll be back later with something worst because you were not warned. When asked what the patient can do to prevent these diseases, the doctor tells them, nothing, it’s genetic. So the doctor, by not promoting a change in that lifestyle or practice that caused the disease, is promoting disease. Thus doctors are killing us."

Hippocrates, respected and known as the “Father of Medicine” said, “Let your food be your medicine, and let your medicine be your food.” His motto was, “Do no harm.” The bible is pretty close to indicating the same thing when it says that the plants of the field would be for food and the leaves of the trees for medicine. All around, it seems food was to be our main source of medicine and there would be no harm in it (we know this because we know there is no harm in taking herbs and leaves of the field).

INITIATION OF THE PRIESTHOOD
It is interesting that when a medical doctor must take an oath an oath of promise before being allowed to practice. It’s kind of an initiation ritual mandatory to becoming one of the priests of modern medicine. The oath is significant here in two parts. First, medical doctors must, " . . . swear by Apollo, the physician, and Asclepius and Health and All-Heal and all the gods and goddesses that, according to my ability and judgment, I will keep this oath and stipulation . . . ". I am sure you understand the Biblical implications of swearing to a false god (Exodus 20:3). Another part of the oath, part of a doctor’s promise, is: “Do no harm”, as well as promising that the patient's health and well-being be his/her first priority. With the information contained in this article, you will be able to come to your own conclusion as the nature and agenda that is the driving force of what we have learned to put our total and complete trust in- doctors and hospital protocol.

ARE DOCTOR’S INDIVIDUALLY RESPONSIBLE
Do you believe everything your doctor tells you? Why? The majority of people put doctors on pedestals. They listen to their every word as if it were coming from a god. Let me be very clear that it is not so much the individual person I am come against, it is the system that trains individuals to be this way. The institutions that train doctors are the real problem. Most individuals practicing medicine are no more than puppets in the hands of those who created and run the medical system. If doctors are so intelligent, they should be seeing the truth though. Thus doctors are partly to blame on an individual basis if they are not repenting of their traditional teachings and starting to administer God’s medicine and natural therapies.

WHO’S BEHIND THE SCAM
The medical community is only taught what they are supposed to know. They are instructed not to prevent disease, but to treat it. They are not trained in true cause and effect medicine, much less prevention. Among those responsible are all drug companies, the AMA (American Medical Association), FDA (Federal Drug Administration) and a few others who generally have assets in the companies they are propagating. This includes some government officials too.

HEALTH CARE
Is Health Care really in our best interest? Or is it another case of power and gain? If it is in our best interest, what will we do about the fact that they will still use poison to try and heal us; and the 4,000 dying daily? Allow me to quote a few statements from a document published by the United States Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs in February 1977.

“The problem will never be solved merely by more and more medical care”. Page six states, “Appropriate public education must emphasize the unfortunate but clear limitations of current medical practice in curing the common killing diseases. Once Hypertension, diabetes, arteriosclerosis or heart diseases are manifest, there is, in reality, very little that medical science can do to return a patient to normal physiological function. As awareness of this limitation increases, the importance of prevention will become more important.”

The committee that wrote this found that nutrition is directly related to these killer diseases, and the medical doctors aren't equipped to help with the diseases as they aren't taught nutrition. Page six continues, “There is widespread and unfounded confidence in the ability of the medical science to cure or mitigate (help) the effects of such diseases once they occur.” Dr. Phillip Lee, Professor of Medicine and Director of the Health Policy Program at the University of California states on page seven, “As a nation, we have come to believe that medicine and medical technology can solve our major health problems. The role of such important factors as diet in cancer and heart disease has long been obscured (hidden) by the emphasis on the conquest of these diseases through the miracles of modern medicine. Treatment, not prevention, has been the order of the day.”

The government formed the committee that published this document because they found there were foods that were directly related to all the crippling and killer diseases. This document was only issued twice because the AMA didn't like it, and on the second edition they clearly stated that to change your diet may be harmful, and there is no scientific proof connecting diet and disease. They are absolutely correct on one point; you may not die if you change your diet, you may have a chance to survive!

DISCIPLINE BOARD
There are many doctors who learn about alternative methods but are scared to practice them. The AMA has a discipline board in every state which watches every doctor like a hawk. These “medical emperors” instruct doctors that they are to treat disease, not prevent it. If they step out of line, their hospital privileges go first, their license second. There are countless doctors who find cures to health problems, but they are penalized by the AMA if they try to use it on patients. Worst case scenario: a doctor’s practice is destroyed and his license revoked. Most doctors are not willing to take that chance even if they did agree with the information being presented here.

INSURANCE COMPANIES AND FINANCIAL INCENTIVES
If the Medical Association really wanted to see sick people well, why are the fees so high? A state run facility, for example, (one hospital) charges $400 dollars for a shoulder x-ray, and a private facility charges $85 for the same thing. How about ambulance charges? $250 flat rate for leaving the driveway, then $9.50 per mile, plus any emergency needs! Does that sound like an institution that wants to help people or help the bank account? We have had it drilled onto our heads that you must have health insurance, but that is one of the biggest causes for the situation we are in. Because you don’t directly pay for your health needs when you go to the hospital, you do not expect any particular results. If we treated doctors like we do mechanics in the sense that “no fix, no pay”, we might actually get the service we deserved. Doctors are under no pressure to get you well, insurance will pay either way.

Have you ever considered that there might be an agenda in the selling of the medication? If you are experienced in medical procedures, you know that every complaint generally initiates the prescription of a medication. The side effects of the medication are then awarded by another medication. Even the New England Journal of Medicine, the bible of the medical field, stated in two articles that doctors are out to milk you dry! The entire system is rather illogical, certainly senseless, but we have been trained that there is no other option. Would you tolerate that behavior with your automobile? Would you pay for one repair when it created a totally different problem which initiated another repair and in the end none of them really helped the original problem anyway? We’ve been scammed in a big way.

According to a report given on ABC News on February 17, 2000, drug companies spend $13,000 per year per physician, trying to convince them to prescribe their drugs. Drug companies have one sales representative for every nine doctors in the United States. And if that isn't enough, drug companies seek to by-pass doctors entirely, going directly to the American public with television advertisements encouraging them to ask their doctors for certain drugs. Obviously, there has to be a lot of money to be made in marketing drugs to the American consumer. more about dollar incentives

TRADE SECRETS
In the book, Restoring Health as a MINISTRY, by Mark Virkler and Reuben T. De Haan, Mark states the following: “One of the most unbelievable revelations to me came from the national news media during January of 2000. The FDA allows researchers to classify toxic and fatal reactions to drugs they are developing as ‘trade secrets.’ Once a death or toxic reaction to a new drug is classified by the researchers as a trade secret, they are then under no legal obligation to reveal these deadly reactions to the unsuspecting public, or even to the physicians to whom they are marketing. Neat trick, don't you think? Makes it obvious that even your doctor probably has no idea how deadly a drug is that he is prescribing to you.”

CODING FRAUD
Many doctors are guilty of Coding Fraud. Suppose you go to the hospital and are found to have a virus. The doctor will go to the Code Book and find the most expensive virus, and treat you for it. This is Coding Fraud. They know insurance will pay, otherwise you don't get treatment, so they give the most expensive treatments. Because the doctor’s interest is first priority in this case, you may end up with a drug that would be much more harmful to your body than the one the doctor might have recommended if regular treatment had occurred. Again, this would not have occurred if there was no health care and insurance companies. Is this the kind of Health Care we want? The final decision is still up to the people but we had better act fast before we lose that right. We don't win a battle unless we take the offense! You have got to stop supporting this system of medicine.

RESEARCH IS FRAUDULENT
One can question the "research", too. The National Bureau of Standards reports that half or more of the numerical data published by scientists is unusable because there is no evidence that the researchers accurately measure what they claimed to be measuring. Just one illustration of this point: "Dr. Leroy Wolins, a psychologist at Iowa State University, had a student write to thirty-seven authors of scientific reports asking for the raw data on which they based their conclusions. Of the thirty-who who replied, twenty-one said their data either had been lost or accidentally destroyed. Dr. Wolins analyzed seven sets of data that did come in and found errors in three significant enough to invalidate what had been passed off as scientific fact. (Confessions of a Medical Heretic, by Robert Mendelsohn, page 126.)

The television program "60 Minutes", on January 17, 1988, presented an expose of the abuses within the Community of scientific researchers. They estimated that up to 30% of all research projects carried out in the United States are totally faked. One scientific scholar advised, "I would think twice before I believe what I read in the medical journals...it is dishonest, fraudulent material." This faked data is the basis of acceptance of new drugs. (Healing in Zion, by Carol Balizet, p. 23)

Look what the Journal of the American Medical Association reported: "A commission of distinguished scientists, including four Nobel Laureates, studied the drug problem and found that the culprits are the doctors and the scientists who test the drugs. They found clinical trials of new drugs were `a shambles.' The FDA spot checked the work of some doctors doing such clinical trials and found twenty percent guilty of a wide range of unethical practices, including giving incorrect dosages and falsifying records. In a third of the reports checked by the FDA, the trial had not been carried out at all. In another third, the experimental protocol was not followed. In only a third of the tests could the results be considered scientifically worthwhile!" (Journal of the American Medical Association, November 3, 1995)

SURGERIES
(this section was taken from Restoring Health Care as a MINISTRY, by Mark Virkler and Dr. Reuben T. De Haan)
Surgery is the cutting out and removing of diseased body tissue and mending damaged and broken body parts.

The five percent of medical care which deals with trauma care is extremely valuable. Doctors set broken bones and sew the body back together after an accident. This service is extremely valuable and fruitful and is deeply appreciated and encouraged. Trauma care is the strength of modern medicine.

However, many surgeries could be omitted. In 1978, the American College of Surgeons released the following statistics:

2,400,000 unnecessary surgeries were performed in the United States. This means normal tissue was removed (Healing in Zion, by Carol Balizet, p. 29).

Where second opinions are mandated, the number of surgeries is reduced by as much as 45%. (Ibid. p. 29) That is scary. Why such a discrepancy? Is the decision to have surgery that subjective? Yes, it is! Does the issue of financial greed enter into the making of the decision? Yes, it does!

Are laboratory tests accurate enough to predict the need for surgery? Only 13 states regulate the 80,000 to 100,000 labs in physicians' offices. However, the 1,450 labs which are involved in interstate testing are under the supervision of the Federal Health Care Financing Administration. Its report to the Senate sub-committee was grim. Over the two-year period ending in June, 1986, seventy-eight labs lost their licenses because of incompetence, and one hundred-eight others voluntarily relinquished their privileges rather than face administrative hearings. That means thirteen percent of these labs were at least inadequate, possibly life-threatening. (And these are only the ones who got caught!) The statistics indicate there are somewhere around two hundred-forty million false, useless or potentially dangerous tests done annually. The Centers for Disease Control occasionally do "blind" testing, sending test specimens which are not labeled as such. In one such test, six out of six labs failed the blind test, even though all of them had previously passed the proficiency tests. (Ibid. p. 11). The American Hospital Association estimates that probably twenty-five percent of laboratory tests are inaccurate. (Ibid. p. 20).

Robert Mendelsohn, M.D. - 90% of surgery is unnecessary. Modern medicine is not based on science. That is clearly proven by Robert Mendelsohn, M.D. In Dr. Mendelsohn's distinguished medical career, he has served as the director of Chicago's Michael Reese Hospital and as an associate professor at the University of Illinois Medical School. He has been the chairman of the Medical Licensure Committee for the state of Illinois, and served as the National Medical Director of the Project Head Start program. Dr. Mendelsohn has given an entire lifetime of service to the field of medicine as a licensed medical doctor.

His best-selling book Confessions of a Medical Heretic, which has sold 300,000 copies since it was published in 1979, tells you in detail why he believes 90% of all modern medicine should be done away with because it is destructive rather than helpful to the patient. You absolutely must read this book.

Dr. Mendelsohn feels modern medicine fulfills a valid role in the 5% of surgeries which are performed as a result of accidents and the 5% of mothers who have complications during childbirth. That 10% he can accept. The other 90% he feels passionately does more damage than good. Listen to what he says:

"I no longer believe in Modern Medicine. I believe that despite all the super technology and elite bedside manner that's supposed to make you feel about as well cared for as an astronaut on the way to the moon, the greatest danger to your health is the doctor who practices Modern Medicine.

I believe that Modern Medicine's treatments for disease are seldom effective, and that they're often more dangerous than the diseases they're designed to treat. I believe the dangers are compounded by the widespread use of dangerous procedures for non-diseases.

I believe that more than ninety percent of Modern Medicine could disappear from the face of the earth - doctors, hospitals, drugs, and equipment- and the effect on our health would be immediate and beneficial." (Heretic x,xi)

John McDougal, M.D. - Avoid surgeries through diet and exercise. Everyone should read Dr. John McDougal's books A Challenging Second Opinion and The McDougal Plan. In them, Dr. McDougal cites about 2,000 scientific studies from Medline, a medical research database of medical studies done over the last 50 years. Dr. McDougal conclusively shows that your likelihood of longevity is greater if you turn down these surgeries and instead simply change your diet and exercise. His above two books are understandable and I consider them "must reading."

While I was watching the evening news last week, a surgeon was interviewed, and he stated that one thing patients could do to improve hospital safety was to have the doctor mark the limb they were going to amputate with a magic marker while the patient was still awake. This way the patient could insure that the right limb would be amputated! Well, my question is, who is going to be keeping an eye on the surgeon while I am under anesthetic? If I can't trust him to get the right limb (or even the right patient), unless I am watching, what exactly can I trust him for? The interesting thing is, the doctor said this on national news with a straight face.

"Medical mistakes kill anywhere from 44,000 to 98,000 hospitalized Americans a year, says a new report that calls the errors stunning and demands major changes in the nation's health-care system to protect patients. The report by the Institute of Medicine says there are ways to prevent many of the mistakes. It sets as a minimum goal a 50% reduction in medical errors within five years....The Institute cited two studies that estimate hospital errors cost at least 44,000 lives and perhaps as many as 98,000...estimated $8.8 billion spent each year as a result of medical mistakes the report calculated...The government should require that hospitals, and eventually other health organizations, report all serious mistakes to state agencies....about 20 states now require such reports but how much information they require and what penalties they impose for errors varies widely, the report said...Unfortunately, he continued, medical mistakes usually are discussed only behind closed doors." ("Error-prone Medicine." The Orlando Sentinel, November 30 1999)

HOSPITAL CHILDBIRTH
(this section was taken from Restoring Health Care as a MINISTRY, by Mark Virkler and Dr. Reuben T. De Haan)

Hospital childbirth is one un-necessary "surgery." The following information is summarized from Healing in Zion, pages 66-67. Hospital childbirth is extremely dangerous. The United States has 9.7 deaths per thousand births; Japan has 4.4; Sweden has 5.7. The U.S. ranks twenty-second in the world in maternal and neonatal safety, ranking below every other developed nation. The safest place is Holland, and there a large percentage of babies are born at home. Worldwide, only two out of ten attended births are handled by doctors. The rest are attended by midwives.

Dr. Robert Mendelsohn recites the following statistics concerning the dangers of giving birth in a hospital. "Babies born in U.S. hospitals are six times more likely to suffer distress during labor and delivery, eight times more likely to get caught in the birth canal, four times more likely to need resuscitation, four times more likely to become infected, and thirty times more likely to be permanently injured. Their mothers are three times more likely to hemorrhage." (Heretic, p. 91)

Dr. Murray Enkin, professor emeritus of obstetrics at Canada's McMaster University in Ontario for ten years, researched studies published in sixty major scientific journals on childbearing. In addition, eighteen thousand obstetricians were interviewed to obtain unpublished data. The research revealed that "Much of what our doctors and hospitals do for pregnancy and birth is wrong, expensive and dangerous...(They) routinely employ methods of care that not only offer little benefit to mother or infant, but actually can be dangerous to them."

They evaluated 285 procedures and policies of care, and only one hundred of them were rated as successful and safe. Sixty were rated as dangerous, and should be abandoned; eighty-eight had unknown effect; thirty-seven were possibly effective.

Home birth is definitely safer than going to a U.S. hospital. A hospital turns what God designed to be a natural process into a surgical experience. Only 5% of births have complications which may require a doctor.

"NEW YORK - A doctor delivered a baby by Caesarean section, then used his scalpel to carve his initials into the mother's abdomen....Liana Gredz is now suing the 61-year-old obstetrician for $5 million, saying the 3-by-1 1/2-inch "A" and "Z" `makes me feel like a branded animal.'

According to the Daily News, witnesses in the operating room said that after delivering Gedz's daughter on Sept. 7, Zarkin announced: `I did such a beautiful job, I'll initial it.'

`I felt like I was raped,' she told the Daily News. And now, with the scar that has turned into a welt, `I'm so embarrassed to get undressed in front of my husband because I have another man's initials on my stomach.'

The couple are also suing Beth Israel Medical Center, where the child was delivered." Associated Press Writer Verena Dobnik (Jan. 21, 2000).

VACCINATIONS
We have been programmed to think that vaccinations live us immunity against certain diseases. For a parent to even consider that their child not be vaccinated would be to openly express a lack of love for their child. The gist of the message from the medical establishment, government and school officials generally is that parents are irresponsible for not vaccinating their children to protect them against life-threatening and crippling diseases. What is the truth behind the programming though?

There is much controversy on the issue of vaccines, and the overwhelming evidence from medical and government statistics is that these injections are not safe. Enough death and permanent injury has been created so that a federal law was passed in 1986 to compensate families for death, serious injury or permanent damage. The National Vaccine Information Center states that vaccine-related injuries could be as high as 120,000 per year! Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is said to be primarily caused by reactions to vaccinations. IS it any wonder? The DPT vaccine warns:, “severe neurological complications,” encephalopathy (inflammation of the brain), convulsions, fever, “unusual high-pitched screaming,” allergic reactions, spasms, anorexia and respiratory difficulties.

This section was not intended to become a complete article on vaccinations, but suffice to say that there has never been a long-term study conducted by the US government or the medical establishment indicating vaccinations are safe, or that vaccines are effective against the diseases they are supposed to prevent. The general public has been led to believe that vaccinations are responsible for the elimination of polio and small pox, but Michael Dye, in his book, Vaccinations, Deception and Tragedy, supplies evidence that is beyond argument. His book indicates that there is no evidence that any disease in history has ever been eliminated by vaccinations, and that during outbreaks of infectious diseases, people receiving vaccines have fared no better in the outbreak than people who were not vaccinated. In fact, this research shows that in many outbreaks, people receiving a vaccination are often affected by the disease much more severely than those who were not vaccinated. The shocking truth is that the government and medical establishment has acknowledged that the primary cause of polio and small pox in the last 30 years has been from the vaccine itself! The US government asked doctors to discontinue the use of the small pox vaccine in 1971 and the same has now happened with the polio vaccine (1998). Every other vaccination available can be found with its stack of evidence in the recommended book. Simply stated, if you read through the evidence presented by our own government on the matter of vaccinations, you would be a fool to ever subject yourself or your child to a vaccine, no matter what your doctor or school officials say.

NUDE EXAMINATIONS
(This section was taken from Restoring Health Care as a MINISTRY, by Mark Virkler)
Currently in vogue in Western medicine is the routine giving breast exams, pelvic exams, and rectal exams. This is often done by male doctors on female patients, woman who are other men's wives. The doctor says, "Take off your clothes," and the client does. Do you give that kind of authority to anyone else?

If I described in graphic detail what these male doctors do to other men's wives, it would be unprintable as it would be labeled as pornographic smut. Every woman I have asked has expressed how distasteful they find this procedure to be. They feel they are being violated, and yet they submit to it because they know of no other choice. My wife even refuses to describe to me the humiliation she has gone through in these encounters, and she has stopped submitting herself to such indignities.

I went once for an annual medical exam when I turned 40 (i.e. seven years ago). The doctor stuck his finger up my rectum. I have never gone back. It struck me as sick and disgusting.

Any information the doctor is uncovering through these procedures can easily be discovered through iridology, muscle testing, and other natural health procedures, which can ALL BE DONE WITH THE PERSON FULLY CLOTHED.

One lady who told me of submitting to numerous hospital tests for an intestinal ailment said she was left naked and exposed in the hospital room, and felt as though she was being treated like a piece of meat as instruments were inserted into her rectum. She was too embarrassed to describe to me the particulars of what they did to her. However, when she got back to her church, she asked for deliverance prayer to remove the spiritual defilement she felt she picked up in the hospital. The doctors did not find what was wrong with her, so they wanted her to come back for more extensive tests. She refused and asked me to muscle test her instead. I did, and her body indicated a need for food enzymes, acidophilus, and trace minerals, which she began taking. The muscle testing I did with her took less than 30 minutes, was done with her clothes all on, and was done free of charge.

Now I, of course, could have charged her, and I could have had her take her clothes off and stand before me in the nude, and I could inserted my fingers into her. I have actually been shown a book on muscle response testing which is used as a textbook by an anti-Christian naturopathic college, which says that one of the muscle test points is to place two fingers on the two lips inside a woman's vagina. However, I have decided that that violates the principles of the Word of God, so I do not do that. I use 40 test points which are done with the individual fully clothed. It is a matter of principle with me. I feel it would be wrong for me to go around inserting my fingers into women. Am I being crude and coarse? Yes, I am. Why? Because I want you to see a bit of how disgusting and crude and coarse this whole affair is. It is not right! And I am hoping I can shock you into realizing that, without going on and telling you additional vivid, crude details of additional exploits which happen in doctors' offices which would be even more shocking and sickening than what I have told you so far.

The Bible has 22 references to uncovering another's nakedness, most of them are in reference to uncovering the nakedness of a relative.

"None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD." Leviticus 18:6

In the following verse, having one's nakedness uncovered is connected with shame and with the hand of God's judgment.

"Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man." Isaiah 47:3

I am shocked by the callousness of some doctors and nurses in hospitals concerning nudity. Once, while making a pastoral hospital visit on a parishioner scheduled for surgery, I was shocked to walk through the open door of her room to find her face down on her bed, completely nude, the curtain around her bed and the door to her room both wide open for any to see. She had been prepped for surgery and left by the nurses, fully exposed and vulnerable to anyone walking by. I immediately turned on my heel and left without her being embarrassed at knowing that I was even there. Is this kind of callous disregard for modesty and dignity what the Lord has ordained? Would YOU leave a person under your care exposed and naked and vulnerable for all to see? It would never cross my mind to do such a thing! Would it yours? What kind of callousness, crudeness and evil allows one to behave in such an ungodly manner?

IT’S HARDER TO FIX THE BODY NATURALLY WHEN MEDICATION HAS BEEN USED
There are many people like me around the world who truly want people to get well. We get reputations for fixing tough cases because people won't use our natural methods until the medical institutions give up on them. I suppose it is pretty impressive to be able to help someone reach health who was proclaimed incurable by the great doctors of modern medicine. By the time medical protocol has pumped you full of drugs, radiation and other killer products, it makes our job with natural remedies God created much more difficult though. Not only do we have the job of bringing your body to a state where it can fight off the disease or sickness you have, but we must fight all the poison in your body put there by the medical protocol you chose to follow first.

IT’S HARDER TO FIX THE BODY NATURALLY WHEN PARTS ARE MISSING
Herbs and natural medicines work with the body to heal it and it is very difficult to do that when parts are missing. God did not create people with extra body parts. Everything has a purpose even if it is not fully understood by medicine. Again, doctors are not taught prevention, only treatment, so the only way to obscure a certain problems in the barbaric mind frame of the day is to “take it out”. How about the common sense factor? If your car starts making noise and the mechanic tells you it’s the alternator, do you tell him to remove the alternator? Maybe your tires goes flat; do you tell the mechanic to just take the whole tire off and start on back down the road? Seems ridiculous doesn’t it? The body is a living, breathing creation and we treat it in a more barbaric manner than we do our vehicle. I know what you’re thinking: “Well the car won’t run without an alternator, but the body seems to run perfectly without a gallbladder”. Really? That just goes to show how little you know about true health. If the body could function perfectly without any of its parts, why in the world did God put them in there to begin with? Learn the laws of nutrition, which can turn severe health problems around (study Book #3). If your doctor has not suggested nutrition, herbs and other holistic methods before surgery, get out of there as fast as you can.

Did you ever wonder what God might think about a generation of people who remove parts from the body He created? Seems like an abomination to me. There are some organs, like the heart, that just can’t be taken out or you will die immediately. Other body parts (like the gallbladder, appendix, ovaries, etc) can be removed without seeming penalties, but the removal creates extra stress on neighboring organs that must take up the slack for the duties that were performed by the organ that was removed. So parts that seemed unnecessary, didn’t create immediate death, but premature death because it overworked the remaining parts “to death”. Is that induced suicide?

How about the organ transplants that are done today? Did you know that pigs are the primary source of organ donations? Not only is this disgusting, but do you remember what the most unclean animal was in reference to the Bible? That’s right, the pig. I wonder what God will say when you meet him with parts that are not only human but are pig in origin? I think this has got to be one of the most severe abomination to the human body there is. I would personally opt to die before having such a procedure. It would be preferable that a person live health and takes steps to prevention, but there are penalties to all disobedience and the penalty for not following the physical laws God intended us to follow is physical death. Even if you have not practiced prevention, there are answers for your condition, no matter how severe it may seem. People with only weeks to live have been brought to total health with the principles of natural health (administered in special Wellness Centers such as that found at HCMI headquarters). There is no need to have parts removed. Please give the natural therapies God created a chance to work before pumping your body full of man-made toxic waste or having a part removed. To remove a part from God’s creation is to violate the manufacturers warranty.

HOLISTIC AND TRADITIONAL MEDICINE WORKING TOGETHER
Many think it would be so great if modern medicine could work with holistic minded practitioners so we would not come against each other and everyone could get the best of both worlds. The ones that say this must think we need modern medicine for something, but as stated earlier, they don’t have the first clue about what to do for diseases. It is true, modern medicine is good with emergency medicine. I don’t want to discredit them at all in that area. If one of my arms got ripped off, an herbalist would not be able to do much about it while medicine might be able to save and re-attach it. They can do wonderful things, it’s true and I admit it. The problem arises when you look at the grand scheme of things. If you weigh the problems modern medicine actually fixes and match them against the disasters and deaths they create, the disasters and death outweigh the positive aspects hands down. Besides this, the agenda of modern medicine would never allow us to work together. It would be optimal if we could have trauma wards for accidents, but all other manner of health care, including births and elderly patients, should be treated in a natural means. Although this sounds extreme to some, I am willing to go further out on a limb. My experience has shown that if modern medicine were allowed to do emergency medicine and leave the disease treating up to holistic practitioners, the agenda would always be there to corrupt. Even now the medical institutions are trying to manufacture nutritional supplements. As if they have a clue, but they know people trust doctors, so vitamins made from pharmaceutical companies will sell. More money was spent on natural therapies (out of pocket) than was spent on traditional medicine in 1999. This has the medical people scared and in need of a plan that will restore their income, so they are making vitamin and mineral supplements which originate from crude oil and waste products! In this light, I think it would be more positive for man kind in general if modern medicine and everything that went along with it (especially medical and health insurance) were eliminated altogether. I understand most of you will put that comment and thought in the extreme category, but I am not one to ride the fence. I am a goal-oriented person and I can see where the future is taking us unless a major change is initiated.

IF YOU’RE SICK, IT’S YOUR OWN FAULT
If you are going to be responsible for your own health, you will stop getting those medications and drugs, you will stop having parts removed and you will learn to prevent the problems and treat them naturally when prevention has failed. The only answer the doctor has is a drug, and that kills you; slowly, which we could term as induced suicide. Thus you can eliminate going to the doctor altogether. Our country spends almost 25% of the Gross National Income on health research. Other countries spend 6%, and they are healthier than we are! What is going on? We are paying taxes so that big companies can use it to invest in more poisons, more death. Ask the doctors who want to research nutrition how much money they got for research . . . No sir! That money is used to get rich people richer, but you don't see it that way because Health Care pays for everything. Who pays Health Care? You do! And costs aren't getting any lower, and the answers to health problems are getting fewer and fewer. If you want to help your country, and live a while longer, snap out of this spell, and take your life, your health, as your responsibility. It’s obvious the medical community does not take your life seriously. You are being put to death with medication, experimented on and being milked dry financially.

ARE YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING THE MEDICAL PROBLEMS WE HAVE TODAY?
In part, medicine has become corrupt because the public cries for quick, easy cures were responded to. People have not taken the time to see what is going on. The simple fact that people trust the medical institutions is bad enough, like I said before, if people would take the time to see the amount of death, illness and pain that modern medicine creates, people might wake up. You have got to become responsible for your health and start wising up to what is really going on out there. In part, all this is your fault! You wanted a miracle drug. You didn’t want to live a healthy lifestyle, you wanted something that would fix your problem right now. You didn’t care if the problem was solved, you just wanted it to be covered up. You initiated the problem, but now that you see what you have done, you better take the steps to correct it.

THE ORIGIN OF PHARMACY, AND THE MEDICAL INSIGNIA
Pharmacy and pharmaceuticals have a long list of ancient origins. To just cover a few of the most commonly used terms, the work pharmacy originated from the Greek word pharmacon, which was derived from a charm or magical potion. These pharmacons were developed from plants with healing properties, but also those plants which contained toxic, mind altering, hallucinogenic properties. Drugs today are derived from the same substances (or synthesized in a laboratory), only they are highly synthesized, concentrated and patented.

The healing properties of an herb are broken and separated to get its concentrated, medicinal value. This allows better marketing, and instant results; which accounts for the wonder drugs of modern day. The problem arises when these drugs, or poisons (any pharmacology text will describe a drug as a poison) are taken out of their balanced state. Originally, the plant, or herb, had properties to balance the direct, poisonous effect, so it could work with the body, not against it. By synthesizing an item or concentrating only certain components of it, you lose this balance. (Lack of balance is described in the bible as abomination.)

The word pharmacon has recently been traced to come from Egyptian pharmakia which means, the art produced by magic. People of the ancient times were sold on superstition, and mythology. This included the belief in many different gods.

Pharmaceutical medicines have been traced to have writings dating back to 4000 BC. These came from the Sumarian civilization in old Mesopotamia. These Egyptian writings (from the Papyri, their pharmaceutical recordings) reveal that it was only a specially trained priest who knew of this magic, or science as it was all one and the same.

Science in those days was taken from empirical discoveries, empirical meaning experimental (science is still based on this principle). It is interesting today, that everyone wants uncontrovertial, scientific proof before they will attempt to believe anything, and yet, scientific, by ancient definition, means experimental. The papyri also reveal that animal excrement and body parts were used in the “potions” that contained multiple ingredients. Doesn't your typical fairytail potion consist of things such as; rat tails, feathers, eye balls, and other such “unscientific” ingredients? According to mythology, the secret to pharmacy was revealed to the son of Isis by his mother, a god. As myths have no more influence than praying to a cloud will get you rain, might this revelation have meant demonic power? The Egyptian papyri also stated that a certain incantation had to be used for the potions that contained multiple ingredients to work.

Pharmacy began it's slow process as a profession when the Greeks got their knowledge from the Egyptians. The Greeks however based their entire culture art and science on individuality. Thus the priest/medicine man became an independent physician: and the war for personal gain and fame began. Among those was one man in particular who became “important above all others”. His name was Asclepius, and he developed sanctuaries where his treatments stresses divine, hypnotic effect so the gods could visit the person while experiencing it's power. It was he who developed the rod wrapped by a serpent, the insignia of modern day medicine. It is interesting that the staff represents a cripple, while the serpent represents supreme power: the god Sachan. Who do you believe visited the hypnotized patients?

“And no marvel For Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” II Cor. 11:14. I might remind you that, in the beginning, Lucifer fell for jealousy of supreme power and he used the form of a serpent to bribe Eve into disobeying God. Some think the medical insignia came from Moses and the snake on the pole as described in the Old Testament, but this is not true.

European pharmacies, and later American pharmacies, rose with the development of Western culture. In dealing with remedies and their use by human beings, the first question always concerns the place, time and explanation of origin. With systemization and the use of inductive and deductive reasoning, empiricism (experimentation) became the foundation for our medical and pharmaceutical science. However, magic dominated the practice of the ancient physicians, and was of special importance to Egyptian medicine (where the word pharmacy originated). With the obvious historical involvement and origin of pharmacology, is it simply a coincidence that the same magical word and emblem are used today? After all, people do expect almost magical results with modern “miracle drugs”. And people want to crucify acupuncture because it originated in the east, yet they run home and take their blood pressure medicine.

THE FDA IS BORN
The pharmacist as we know it today, started with the Greek independence, but really took off in 1752 when the hospitals stopped buying their imported, ready made drugs, and hired someone to make up the medicine daily. The physician and pharmaceuticals had now become separate, individualized businesses, and it became legal when legislation approved it. In years to come, many importers tried to sell their medicinal goods, so the FDA was set up to keep the impurities out. Be it medicine or competition. Even since the beginning, the priest/medicine-man/physician, has had a high ranking position, and unquestionable respect. It began as a legitimately honest business that was out for the welfare of the people, but power and money corrupt, and it has become a selfish hoard of power and personal gain. Today we find that pharmaceuticals practically own the hearts of the physicians.

Almost 25% of the National Income is spent for research in the medical field. Only things which can be synthesized and patented are interests for investment though. Although we are told that there is not enough research proving the use of herbs and other natural therapies, there are countless stories of great scientists, chemists, and almost every kind of doctor that has found a cure for diseases including cancer, AIDS and other killer diseases. These have been documented. Documented, natural cures for almost every type of disease. There are thousands and thousands of papers proving this “natural” or alternative stuff works scientifically!

So why don't you hear about these natural cures? It is actually very simple, there is no money in a cure. How would the pharmaceutical companies survive if you could grow medicine in your back yard? The large corporations (pharmaceutical companies) are not going to fund something they can't make money on. Honestly speaking, you and I probably wouldn't either. An investment is foolish if there is no return. But, is it worth killing innocent people for money? Congress stated that 37 out of 49 FDA agents own stock in the companies they protect. They are supposed to be protecting us, but they are really protecting their own investments. Like I said, power corrupts.

The FDA has tried (and will probably try again) to take our supplements away. Do you think it was for the people’s good? Regulation of supplements is profit, think about it. They don’t want us to be able to do anything about our health without a doctors permission, and the only doctors authorized to give permission will be the ones who are willing to be their (pharmaceutical) puppets. A Study by UCLA researchers, published in Annals of Internal Medicine in 1992, found that 92 percent of 109 drug-companies advertisements violated FDA regulations. At least 61 percent were inaccurate, misleading, and even dangerous. As a matter of fact, the FDA has 30,000 cases of pharmaceutical misadvertising a year, and they haven't taken one of those cases to court in over 15 years (stated in ABC's Prime Time Live, 1989). The FDA has raided over 30 different health food stores, supplement manufacturers, and nutrition minded doctors offices in two years alone and the number is growing. When they raid a place, they confiscate everything, ruining the reputation of the local practitioner, and banning them from the AMA if they are liscenced physicians. Doctors aren’t stupid, they see what’s happening and frankly are scared to recommend anything natural for fear of losing their liscence. Does that sound like an institution you want to support?

FDA Commissioner Charles C. Edward is quoted to have said, “It is not in our (FDA) policy to jeopardize the financial interests of the pharmaceutical companies.”

l believe this modern day, wonder drug - mind set has poisoned it's way into selfish gain and a fight for power, instead of the well being of mankind. Diseases run rampant in our society. Some of these don't even have names much less a cure. Certain doctors, chemists, and scientists have come up with answers, but they are squashed like bugs as the drug corporations make no money in true healing. I think a new way of healing is springing up faster than it can be shut down. It is time we the people snapped out of this magical spell. and stood up for true health. Let us put the balancing factors back into the poison and use the whole plant as the good Lord, the Creator of them, intended.

I say, “People! We are not dying, we are being destroyed!”

CONVICTION IS IN ORDER
Today Christians go to the medical doctor without hesitation. We have been trained that the doctor knows best, no matter what the problem is. If the option became an alternative practitioner there would be a certain amount of reservation, or people would not go at all. The medical system, and most of its principles are a lot more pagan with origins dating straight to Egypt. Besides the origin, trust, hope and confidence of modern medicine is based in self gain. The gain is not for God or even mankind, yet Christians participate without question and hesitate to use the herbs God created. That ignorant concept is so sad, but people of this mentality are paying for their ignorance with their lives. It’s up to you to initiate a change.
