The 10 most useless operations.
Modern medicine keeps flaunting their questionable procedures as advanced so they can suck in more costumers (patients) - in reality they are about as primitive as it gets as in most cases (the exceptions are mending broken bones etc.) they are clueless as one can get. See supporting data below.
My motto is: Don't do anything that you can't reverse as you stand to become a full time patient for these leeches (of the first order)!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Angioplasty
Used to treat atherosclerosis, this treatment involves inserting a balloon in the arteries, then expanding it to clear the artery of fatty build up Research consistently shows that stenosis (narrowing of the artery) reoccurs within six months. More than half of all angioplasties are unnecessary (WDDTY, vol 4 no 2 and vol 8 no 4).
Radical Mastectomy
A mutilating operation which involves removing the breast, much of the skin, the chest wall and the lymph nodes. Numerous studies have shown no benefit in terms of cancer recurrence over more conserva t i ve breast conserving measures (WDDTY vol 3 no 11).
Hernia&'s
four times more dangerous to have one than to go without especially if you are over 65. Purp o rted to strengthen ruptured muscles and ligaments, studies show the procedure actually we a kens them. The recurrence rate is 20 per cent for first ops, 30 per cent for second ops and 50 per cent for third and subsequent ops (WDDTY, vo l 5 no 7).
Hysterectomy
Common medical thinking says a woman doesn't need her uterus after she has had children, which ignores the part it continues to play in hormone regulation. Damning studies have shown that nearly 90 per cent of these operations are unnecessary and performed for spurious reasons such as fibroids, endometriosis and heavy peri o d s (WDDTY vol 7 no 1).
Gall Bladder
Four out of five operations are unnecessary. Taking out the gall bladder is not a cure, and if keyhole surgery is used it can actually aggravate the problem by injuring the bile duct or causing gall stones to leak into surrounding tissues. Gall bladder problems can be almost entirely s o l ved through dietary changes (WDDTY, vol 7 no 10).
Grommets
Left alone, 75 per cent of cases of glue ear will resolve themselves within a year. Compare this to those who have grommets inserted. Five years on, more than 60 per cent of children will have had a repeat operation. The op also poses other risks, such as hardening or perforation of the ear drum and middle ear cysts (WDDTY, vol 8 no 7).
Surgery for back pain
Surgery only completely relieves back pain in around half of cases. Of the 200,000 to 400,000 Americans who have back surgery each year, 30,000 to 80,000 will come out with increased pain. Post-surgical scarring is one major cause of increased pain (WDDTY, vol 4 no 8).
Prostate removal
Removing the prostate is supposed to stop the spread of cancer. Yet the medical evidence shows that this cancer rarely spreads to other areas, until you cut the patient open. According to autopsy reports, nearly a third of European men have prostate cancer, but only 1 per cent die of it (WDDTY, vol 6 no 4).
Thyroidectomy
Nearly a third of all cases of overactive thyroid will resolve themselves. With subtotal thyroidectomy, where only part of the thyroid is removed, only 30 per cent will have normal thyroid levels after eight years; 41 per cent will have a permanently underactive thyroid and 19 per cent will still be hyperthyroid (WDDTY, vol 7 no 7).
Blood Transfusion
Few guidelines exist as to the hows and whens of transfusions. Surveys show that an estimated one-third to three - quarters of those given blood are transfused inappropriately. Patients run the risk of contracting blood - borne diseases such as hepatitis C (in 7-10 per cent of cases). Keeping fluid volume up with fluid replacements can work better than transfusion (WDDTY, vol 3 no 2).

Dear Chris, I am overjoyed to have found the connection to you through the Hulda Clarke website. I was on the NSRA board with you and continue to be a friend of Gar and his wife Helen. Congratualtions on your work. I am thrilled that I have the confidence to use only natural healing methods, even in the face of crisis. Of course western methods would have a place for me if if required.

Dear Chris,
l have been a practising Naturopath for 14 years now.
l have just been given "The Co-enzyme Q10 story" booklet.
l have been using it for many years now. With many deficient brands on the market which brand do you recommend?

It seems very strange to me that you failed to even mention THE most common surgery in the US: Routine Male Infant Circumcision. This operation has no medical purpose except to generate profits for the individuals and/or organizations practicing it. Considering the uselessness of the operation, the great acute and chronic (life-long) risks and complications associated with the procedure combined with the fact that it is performed on non-consenting, resisting indivuals, this large scale mutilation of healthy children cries out for a complete legal ban.

I am having a preoperation consultation tomorrow concerning a mass found in my colon. A biopsy was shown as negative. I had a cat scan which showed something on my liver. I have been taking lipitor for about 8 weeks but decided to stop just yesterday. I do not know whether to allow the operation or not. I feel perfectly healthy and my doctor said I was "healthy as a horse" I am 76 years old and very opposed to any medications and operations unless I am convinced that they are reeally neccessary. What do you think?
Thanks,
John Wilder

Can anybody pls give me an information on what steps I should take after discovering a mass on my right scrutum, size maybe of a small tablet. How do I know if its benign or malignant, Thank You.

If the scrotal mass is in the skin, it may be excised by a dermatologist or general surgeon. If the scrotal mass is within the testis, it should be excised by a qualified surgeon or urologist. The mass must be sent to a pathologist for examination to determine whether it is benign or malignant. If benign, no further treatment is needed. If malignant, surgical excision and/or chemotherapy may be curative.
