As I am sitting here watching "So You Think You Can Dance" tonight, I am amazed at the number of drug ads that I have seen. Depression...it Hurts! The ad talks about how people sink into depression, and how taking a pill can suddenly change their lives and "cure" it. If you pay attention though, the ad mostly talks about all the dozens of side effects, and not what the drug can "do" for you. Yet people only see the "now" happy people running around with their families, and that is enough to call a doctor for a prescription. Now THAT is sad!
There are literally dozens of drugs for any specific illnesses. Every illness is treated as nothing more than a drug-deficiency of some kind. Hyperactivity is a Ritalin-deficiency. Depression and anxiety are a Zoloft-deficiency. A simple headache is an Advil-deficiency. You can get a prescription or OTC (over the counter) drug for just about anything these days. Diarrhea, constipation, thyroid disease, ADHD, eczema…even cancer - does anyone know WHY they have these conditions or diseases? No. What they do know is that there IS a drug somewhere that can “fix” it. Does it really fix it? What happens if you stop taking the medicine? Does it return? Are there side effects when taking this medicine? Do you develop other illnesses over time? Have you ever had your doctor say “well, now let’s figure out WHY you have thyroid disease in the first place?” Well, you would if you saw an environmental medicine physician, but no other doctor I have ever had has wanted to probe into the underlying cause of any health issues I have ever had. They only wanted to give me a prescription! No one of intelligence can certainly believe that taking various medications, and injecting toxins (in the form of vaccines) won’t add to the total chemical load in our bodies, which continues to get heavier and heavier until REAL disease is inevitable.
Speaking about REAL disease, let's talk about the Big C: Cancer. I was diagnosed with a malignant melanoma one year ago on my neck. It was terrifying. The doctors did not give me much hope, as the melanoma was deep (it had been ignored by the dermatologist one year earlier when it first changed). I agreed to have the surgery done by a wonderful surgeon to excise the entire area (about 5" scar on my neck) as well as various lymph nodes to look to see if the cancer had spread. While I was waiting for the surgery, I got a copy of the biopsy and decided to have acupuncture and NAET (http://www.naet.com/) done with the biopsy to hopefully turn my body against the cancer. I did daily NAET treatments with the biopsy up until the surgery, and also did meditation telling myself that I was cancer-free. After the surgery, I got the call back that not only could they not find evidence of melanoma in my lymph nodes, but also could not find it anywhere in the melanoma site (it had only been lanced off, not dug out originally, and the cancer went through the entire depth of the sample). The doctor was surprised to find no evidence at all of the melanoma. Could it have been the NAET or acupuncture helping, or was my original sample mixed up? We will never know, but I believe that the possibilities are endless if you have an open mind to alternative medicine.
No one knows what causes cancer...cancer of any kind. Most people will agree though that people with cancer have weakened immune systems. That is a fact! So, if a person is dying from cancer does it really make sense to pump them full of additional toxic chemicals and add to their load, especially without appropriate nutritional supports and special diets? Have you heard of the macrobiotic diet? Here is more information: http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/macrobiotic-diet. There is more and more evidence that animal protein, as well as dairy, are cancerous and detrimental to our health. Here is more on that, and how a plant-based diet can reverse cancer: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kathy-freston/a-cure-for-cancer-eating_b_298282.html?page=4&show_comment_id=31677220#comment_31677220. Here is one quote from this interview with Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Professor Emeritus of Cornell University:
"Yes, this is what our experimental research shows. I also have become aware of many anecdotal claims by people who have said that their switch to a plant-based diet stopped even reversed (cured?) their disease. One study on melanoma has been published in the peer-reviewed literature that shows convincing evidence that cancer progression is substantially halted with this diet."
Wow, melanoma! Now this is fascinating research. If it were me again, I would have to say that I would be pursuing these natural routes first before injecting more toxins into my body. It makes a lot of sense to me that diet and lifestyle are what cause cancer in the vast majority of cases. If this is the case, then shouldn't you be able to dispel the disease by cleaning out the toxins and addressing the severe nutritional deficiencies? It won't happen overnight, but good gosh, don't you think even a diet without meat and dairy should be worth a try....EVEN if it is in conjunction with the chemo? How about juicing organic veggies daily? Why do most medical doctors strongly discourage dietary changes such as these?
It is the same story as when you ask a doctor if an illness/condition that you have could be related to allergies or toxin overload, they will laugh in your face! I had my dermatologist tell me that the reason I had eczema develop suddenly on my hand was that "some people are just unlucky." What? I mentioned food allergies...she abruptly said "no." There IS an underlying cause to all illnesses. You don't just have sudden illness strike for no reason! They just don't have all the information, despite the fact that most people are completely brainwashed into believing otherwise. Most people simply want their doctors to just tell them what to do. And most traditional doctors do not like to be questioned, and if you do ask intelligent, informed questions they feel threatened. Shouldn't we be active participants in our own health? Any good doctor should tell you that they do not know everything!
Yet, we blindly go into our doctor's offices and will simply believe whatever they tell us. Now don't get me wrong...there are many wonderful doctors out there, who are exceptionally intelligent and whose hearts are in the right place...BUT most are just not open to anything that is outside the realm of their education and mainstream medicine textbooks. Alternative medicine has done so many wonderful things for so many people. The human body has an amazing ability to heal itself, when given the chance. Drugs will still be the answer to the "cure" for all illness until such a time comes when people will start to reclaim their own health again, and fight to find the CAUSE of disease. It is at that point that the body will heal, and true recovery begins.

I would argue with the statement that no one knows what causes cancer. Cells in our bodies mutate and become cancerous every day. This is a normal process. Healthy body recognizes those cells and handles them appropriately. The problem arises when the immune system is compromised (by the chemical load from food, personal products, polluted water/air, prescription medication, vaccinations, lack of sleep, lack of sunshine, etc) by the daily abuses it takes from our unhealthy living. It can no longer control the rough cells as they start multiplying and wrecking havoc on the organism until the physical materialization of a tumor.
ReplyDeleteI think it’s pretty obvious that our choice in lifestyle, our surroundings and the fact that most people are simply “to busy” to do a little bit of research on the fears they might face, as if not knowing anything about an illness will actually postpone or help you avoid it all together (most people are of this mentality), are the actual cause of cancer and most, if not all chronic diseases.
Great point of view. :-) Thank you so much for posting! I do believe (obviously from my post) that all of those things you mentioned accumulate and CAUSE cancer, and that cancer doesn't just "happen" or is genetic. When I said "no one" knows....I meant mainstream medicine. It is the doctors that have no clue as to what causes disease, and most often will never look for the root cause of illness. The sad truth is that people die everyday from cancer, and their doctors will never tell them about alternative medicine and simple diet changes that could save their lives.
ReplyDeleteMy sister's friend just tragically passed this week from cancer, and his family lived through a horrible nightmare this past year with various mainstream treatments and surgeries that just did not help. They refused all alternative treatments and diets per their various doctors' advice. Hearing about this man's sprial downwards over the past year with his family watching confirmed for me that it would not be the path that I would take...should that ever happen to me. Cancer is horrible, and my prayers are with this family.
