Is Our Medical Industry Failing Us? By Walt "dr health" Edwards Please contact me using this number: 1-541-247-7077 Past issues available on my web site: getwel-newsletter. Medical science always presents things as fact, when actually what they are really presenting is not fact at all. It's only an opinion based on the information they have at the current time. Throughout history, medical facts have been proven not to be true over and over again. They use words like credible scientific evidence provided by tests that are slanted and biases, often paid for by organizations that will benefit from the results of the study. These theories provided by the medical industry as medical facts have often proven wrong with the passage of time: A. Bloodletting was proven to cure most illnesses. Now it is considered totally ineffective. B. Margarine was considered much healthier than butter. Now research suggests that the exact opposite is true. C. Eggs were considered very bad because of high cholesterol. Now research suggests that they are not bad at all, and they are actually healthy for the body. D. Medical doctors touted that baby formula was much better than breast milk for children. Now the exact opposite is shown to be true. E. Medical science proved that the removing of tonsils and appendix improved health and should be done to virtually everyone. Now the medical community has reversed that theory. F. Medical science stated that diet had absolutely no effect on disease or illness. Now we are told that diet has a huge effect on the on the prevention and cause of disease. In fact, Columbia University School of Public Health, estimated that 95 percent of cancer is caused by diet and environmental toxicity. G. Milk was recommended for coating the stomach and alleviating stomach ulcers. Now it is discouraged and has been found to aggravate ulcers. H. HRT for women was highly recommended by the medical establishment. After a 23 year study HRT was found not to be helpful and actually increased breast cancer. I. The most obvious example of all is the fact that there are thousands of drugs that have been approved by the FDA because they were scientifically proven to cure or prevent disease and were considered safe. Many have been taken off the market because they have been proved not to cure or prevent those disease and many were found to have such terrible adverse side effects that they are simply too dangerous for people to use. Prescription drug related deaths in this country are over 200,000 lost lives per year. News Media Report Reduced Sickness and Cancer In America! If this is true why are: More people get colds and flu than ever before. More people get cancer than ever before. More people have diabetes than ever before. More people have heart disease than ever before. More people have multiple sclerosis, lupus, muscular dystrophy, asthma, migraine headaches, joint, neck and back pain than ever before. More people have acid reflex, ulcers, and stomach problems than ever before. More women have menopause problems than ever before. More women have more frequent PMS and more severe PMS than ever before. More kids have attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity than ever before. More people suffer depression, stress, and anxiety than ever before. More people suffer from allergies, arthritis, constipation, fibromyalgia, cold sores and herpetic breakouts than ever before. There are more people going to visit doctors than ever before. There are more people getting diagnostic testing, such as blood test and x-rays, than ever before. More people are taking nonprescription and prescription drugs than ever before. There are more surgeries performed than ever before. What does this tell us? It tells us that standard medical science is failing. More people are getting medical treatment, taking more drugs, having more diagnostic testing and having more surgeries than ever before in history. Yet more people are getting sick than ever before in history. Americans spend over $2 trillion a year on healthcare, yet the American infant mortality rate is higher than twenty other developed countries. People in thirty other countries live longer than Americans, yet, Americans consume over half of all the drugs manufactured in the world. We have been brainwashed into believing that it's natural to take drugs, we need to take drugs to be healthy. A healthy person never has to take a drug, or have cancer, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, etc. Is there a place for surgery and drugs? Absolutely yes! Medical science depends on addressing symptoms. However, the treatment of a symptom has two flaws. First, the treatment itself usually causes more problems which have to be treated later. Secondly, the cause of the symptom is usually never addressed. They do work well in emergency crisis situations. So if trillions of dollars in scientific research has failed in producing ways to prevent and cure illness and disease, and all-natural inexpensive prevention methods and cures do exist, why aren't we hearing about them? The answer may surprise you. The answer and more on this subject in April's Newsletter.
