In this era of rapid information dissemination, a relentless conflict rages on through every conceivable media outlet, casting doubt on the scientific legitimacy of any healing approach not endorsed by the FDA or the American Medical Association. However, what the widespread propaganda often neglects to unveil is that, when subjected to the same stringent criteria applied to alternative methods, a significant portion of mainstream medical practices has never truly proven their efficacy.
A few years ago, a scarcely reported study sent shockwaves through the medical community. It revealed that coronary heart disease patients who opted out of bypass surgery lived just as long as those who underwent the procedure. Curiously, this revelation failed to deter the medical establishment from performing even more surgeries. Despite the existence of numerous alternative therapies that could potentially replace these invasive procedures, there is a surprising lack of enthusiasm for their exploration.
One noteworthy example is the story of the engineer who invented the glucometer for at-home blood sugar testing. In order to gain credibility, he had to become a medical doctor, as the prevailing belief was that patients couldn’t possibly manage their health or make informed decisions based on accurate data. Such prejudices persist even today.
The ascendancy of “alternative medicine” poses a direct challenge to the formidable medical monopoly in the United States. How can it be that the United States spends exorbitantly on healthcare yet ranks a mere 27th among nations in terms of overall health? The country grapples with a greater prevalence of chronic degenerative diseases than any other, despite having the world’s most abundant food supply. Paradoxically, it remains deficient in essential nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, chromium, selenium, vitamins C, E, A, and D.
According to the Department of Agriculture’s statistics, this is an undeniable reality, not mere propaganda. How is it that the richest nation on Earth, endowed with the “best” medical care and an unparalleled food supply, is grappling with malnutrition and an epidemic of diseases?
Blame is not to be apportioned solely to one factor. One culprit is the failure of educational institutions to prioritize nutritional education, the cornerstone of health. However, the more significant issue lies in the unyielding reliance on an unproven system of medical treatment—allopathic medicine. Before dismissing this claim, consider the following facts:
Fact 1: All medication is, in essence, a poison to the human body. It undoubtedly affects bodily functions, with potential short-term benefits. However, what remains shrouded in mystery are the long-term consequences. For example, hormone replacement therapy, which was endorsed for years, led to an increased incidence of stroke and heart attacks, despite natural alternatives offering symptom relief without side effects.
Fact 2: Despite the knowledge that certain Cox-2 inhibiting drugs were causing heart attacks and strokes, pharmaceutical companies continued to manufacture and promote these products. Tragically, countless lives were lost.
Fact 3: The cholesterol obsession peddled by pharmaceutical companies is built on unsubstantiated premises. No conclusive evidence links cholesterol levels to heart attacks or strokes. The side effects of statin drugs, a lucrative market for these companies, are well-documented but often ignored by physicians.
Fact 4: The pharmaceutical industry’s influence is omnipresent, and the financial interests at stake are staggering. The financial aspect of medicine is overwhelming.
Fact 5: Shockingly, doctor errors and fatal drug side effects surpass heart disease, stroke, and cancer as leading causes of death in the United States. This alarming statistic—nearly 1 million fatalities per year—goes unnoticed, unlike many other seemingly more important issues that pale in comparison to this stark reality.
We certainly do not want to overlook the marvels of allopathic medicine in fields like surgery, trauma care, and organ transplants. The shortcomings emerge in the treatment of chronic degenerative diseases, the propagation of flawed theories like the cholesterol-heart disease link, and the persistence of grueling chemotherapy and radiation as cancer treatments, despite mounting evidence for natural medicine alternatives. It is within the power of the public to reshape the healthcare landscape.
Many dedicated physicians have transitioned into holistic practices due to allopathic medicine’s limitations in treating chronic diseases. They began incorporating non-toxic approaches like nutrient IVs and chelation therapy while judiciously preserving the role of medications when necessary. This integrated approach offers the best of both worlds.
Pharmaceutical companies fear the rise of holistic medicine among mainstream doctors, which could potentially dent their exorbitant profits. From 2000 to 2018, these giants raked in an astounding 76.5% profit compared to other major public companies. The global pharmaceutical revenue of approximately 1.48 trillion U.S. dollars in 2022, underscores their immense influence.
The root of the ongoing clash between allopathic and alternative medicine ultimately centers around the economic interests of the pharmaceutical industry. It’s a complex, multifaceted issue, but one thing is clear: the health and well-being of the public should always remain at the forefront.
