News from the Doctor

If a person has a question about health, or being healthy, or regaining one’s health who should they ask? Obviously you would want to ask an expert but who exactly is an expert in health?

If you are a conventional thinker you would ask you doctor (specifically your M.D.) but do you really think your doctor would be the best person to ask? What training do M.D.’s have in nutrition, exercise, mental health or detoxification? If you think about it, what your M.D. is an expert in is drugs and surgery; in other word they are an expert in sickness and disease. If you have a medical problem, they might be able to diagnose and treat it for you, but if you have a question about health you are barking up the wrong tree!

I am reviewing the language of the new vaccine bill (AB 2109) and I am constantly bombarded by the word “expert”; specifically, it keeps implying that M.D.’s are “experts” in vaccine effectiveness and safety. But, is this correct? M.D.’s are trained in how to administer vaccines; perhaps they are well versed in the disease that the vaccine is designed to prevent…but are they experts in the vaccines effectiveness and safety? No! In reality, the AMA and the drug companies go to extreme measures to ensure  that the M.D.’s are NOT exposed to any negative information regarding vaccines. Journals reject any articles or studies that question vaccine effectiveness or safety; media like TV, radio or newspapers are heavily pressured to exclude any negative vaccine articles; even the government and the CDC are careful to keep any negative vaccine information quiet in fear of ‘creating fear and allowing communicable diseases to resurface’. In other words, M.D.’s are not experts on vaccine effectiveness or safety…yet this is exactly what bill AB2109 is implying; it states that the average person can’t make a decision for themselves, they must get an M.D. expert to decide for them and their kids!

If you want an expert, look for someone who has no financial gain for giving you their opinion; look for someone who actually wants to see the world a better place; look for someone who will give you the whole truth, not just one side…ask your chiropractor!

Perhaps the title is a little harsh…but Dr. Margaret Chan M.D. (the head of the World Health Organization) declared antibiotic use “a disaster”. Dr. Chan stated in a recent speech that the over prescription of antibiotics has led to many antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria. She reported that if this trend continues she could see a future where almost every bacterial infection was life threatening since modern medicine could not treat it. She also commented on a future where ‘some sophisticated interventions like hip replacements, organ transplants, cancer chemotherapy and care of problem infants would be out of the question because of the risk of bacterial infection (with antibiotic resistant strains) would be too high. So what’s the solution?

This is where the insanity begins; Dr. Chan does not state that prescriptions of antibiotics should be reduced, nor does she give the statistics on how many antibiotics are beings over prescribed for viral conditions like ear infections; she doesn’t mention how many tons of antibiotics (and steroids) are being used on animals in confinement feed lots. Dr. Chan doesn’t mention any reduction of chemical usage…instead she urges more chemical solutions – new drugs to help solve the issues. Theres one really big problem though…more chemicals have never solved any issues; they only create new problems.

Here’s my solution: Use medical intervention only in an emergency. I see so many people rush to the doctor at the first hint of a cold.  Take antibiotics as a last resort…when no other treatment seems to be working. Also, when you do take antibiotics, take the minimal dose; although every doctor and pharmacist will tell you to finish the entire bottle there is no evidence that taking less antibiotics reduces the number of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria. In fact, there is a lot of evidence that shows the more antibiotics given, the more antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria are created.

Of course the real solution is to keep your immune system healthy. This is the REAL protection from bacteria as God created your immune system to protect you. There is no magic pill or potion that heals or protects; your body heals and protects itself. Antibiotics can help you in an emergency (like when your body’s defenses are not working) but they always have a price to pay; antibiotics lower your body’s natural defenses and destroys your body’s intestinal bacteria (which help you digest food).

As for me I trust God a lot more than I trust chemist or doctors.

I have a lot of pregnant women in my practice. In fact, I’d say it’s one of my specialties…I really enjoy helping couples have a safe and pleasurable pregnancy! (Yes, I just wrote pleasurable!) One question I get asked commonly, is should pregnant women get the Flu Shot? Seems all the MD’s are pushing it; The CDC recommends it; The pharmaceutical industry highly promotes it. My answer: NO!!

Let’s make something crystal clear; The Flu shot has never been proven to reduce the incidence of the flu. It DOESN’T WORK!! It doesn’t work for babies, adults, seniors or pregnant women. Study after study has shown it’s ineffectiveness. Books have been written on how it fails to decrease the number or severity of influenza. So why do the MD’s and the CDC and the AMA and all the other medical organizations push it so aggressively? My guess…it’s the way they were taught. They believe they should be giving some pill or potion for every illness; it makes them feel useful. Oh…and it is incredibly profitable. Let’s not forget that reason!

Let’s also remember that the flu vaccine (like all vaccines) contains all sorts of harmful chemicals that WILL move past the placenta and into the baby’s blood supply.  Flu shots contain mercury, formaldehyde, ethylene glycol, antibiotics, egg particles, embryonic particles (human or animal), aluminum and a host of other dangerous chemicals. They might not kill you, but I sure don’t recommend giving those chemicals to a baby…or an adult. Especially if it’s proven to NOT PROTECT YOU from the Flu!

The last word? Say NO to the flu shot, especially if you are pregnant. I’ll trust in GOD and let my God-given immune system do the work. Who ever decided that the Flu was so dangerous anyway…ah yes, the drug companies are making that claim as well!
