Medical system is leading cause of death and injury in US
Shocking statistical evidence is cited by Gary Null PhD, Caroly Dean MD ND, Martin Feldman MD, Debora Rasio MD and Dorothy Smith PhD in their recent paper Death by Medicine - October 2003, released by the Nutrition Institute of America.
"A definitive review and close reading of medical peer-review journals, and government health statistics shows that American medicine frequently causes more harm than good. The number of people having in-hospital, adverse drug reactions (ADR) to prescribed medicine is 2.2 million. Dr. Richard Besser, of the CDC, in 1995, said the number of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually for viral infections was 20 million. Dr. Besser, in 2003, now refers to tens of millions of unnecessary antibiotics. The number of unnecessary medical and surgical procedures performed annually is 7.5 million. The number of people exposed to unnecessary hospitalization annually is 8.9 million. The total number of iatrogenic deaths shown in the following table is 783,936. It is evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the United States. The 2001 heart disease annual death rate is 699,697; the annual cancer death rate, 553,251.
Health Care expenditures in the US have reached 14% of the Gross National Product and a staggering $1.6 trillion in 2003. No wonder, one might be tempted to say. With such an appalling record of efficacy and such an unbelievable death rate for the treatments routinely administered, the current medical system can only be said to be in great need of deep reform.
Certainly it would appear more urgent to investigate the rationale, efficacy and relative cost-effectiveness of pharmaceutical medicine than to legislate restrictive rules for supplements of vital nutrients, as most governments and some international organisations are doing in these times.

Deadly Medical Mistakes Exposed
New York, New York - New information has been presented showing the degree to which Americans have been subjected to injury and death by medical errors. The results of seven years of research reviewing thousands of studies conducted by the NIA now show that medical errors are the number one cause of death and injury in the United States.
According to the NIA's report, over 784,000 people die annually due to medical mistakes. Comparatively, the 2001 annual death rate for heart disease was 699,697 and the annual death rate for cancer was 553,251.
Over 2.2 million people are injured every year by prescription drugs alone and over 20 million unnecessary prescriptions for antibiotics are prescribed annually for viral infections. The report also shows that 7.5 million unnecessary medical and surgical procedures are performed every year and 8.9 million people are needlessly hospitalized annually. Based on the results of NIA's report, it is evident that there is a pressing need for an overhaul of the entire American medical system.
The findings, described as a "revelation" by Martin Feldman, MD, who helped to uncover the evidence, are the product of the first comprehensive studies on iatrogenic incidents. Never before has any study uncovered such a massive amount of information with regard to iatrogenesis. Historically, only small individual partial studies have been performed in this area.
Carolyn Dean, MD, a physician and author who also helped to uncover the findings said, "I was completely shocked, amazed, and dismayed when I first added up all the statistics on medical death and saw how much allopathic medicine has betrayed us."
The Nutrition Institute of America is a not-for-profit, non-partisan organization that has been enlightening the public on health issues for nearly 30 years.

Dr. Carolyn Dean and Trueman Tuck have recently published a book: Available from Ashtree
Death by Modern Medicine goes beyond the statistics of deaths due to drugs to how the medical monopoly that created the system in the first place is allowed to control health care. A tale of propaganda, health care bureaucracy, the business of cancer, our own personal addictions to sugar and drugs, and the denial we all harbor to help us cope with the overwhelming burden, are woven into this 360-page volume.
Any volunteer translators to get this important book out to people in non english-speaking countries?

Thanks so much for your webpage, it truly is my philosophy as well - self sufficiancy, reliance on your own brain power, not being a drone etc.
This however was a painful passage, one of which you go through as you descend into a rabbit hole, after having two children vaccinated and now how autism becuase of it.
My webpage will explain why a universal screen for biochemical differences should be followed accordingly in line to the biological code of ethics, that every person has a healing constitution different from their neighbors, thereby, a one size fit all with any drug, vaccine or approach, is unadvisable and could be detrimental and deadly.

We have seen two cases of brain damage in our family after childhood immunizations. My daughter's baby is 10 months old and she is refusing to immunize him.
How and where does she get the FACTS on this topic?
Posted by: Giovanna on August 30, 2004 07:17 PM
Come on, let's be fair. How many lives have been saved by the medical system? One thing to keep in mind is that there is reason it is called medical "practice." Furthermore, doctors are human, like you, and are not perfect, like you. It is human tendency to find blame, but there is absolutely no substantive evidence that immunization causes brain damage or autism. In fact, the cause of autism is unknown and has no correlation to immunization. There are just as many immunized autistic children as there are non-immunized. Additionally, how do you know that these children did not suffer from these problems before immunization, as there were just infants. Medical evidence purports that children are born this way, but it remains unnoticed until the child ages since they are not born with any motor abilities . My advice is to study credible sources, such as the American Journal of Medicine. If you think your better off with out the medical system, them never go to another doctor no matter what symptoms you have and see how you end up. Keep in mind, people don't consult doctors and take perscription drugs because they are 100% healthy.

Thank you for your comment Lupita,
no doubt, many lives have been saved by the medical system. However, since the system has fallen more and more under pharmaceutical control, things are definitely going the wrong way.
Just taking the example of the link between autism and toxic mercury used as a preservative in vaccines, here are some of the more recent articles on that issue:
Study reignites debate on autism, childhood vaccines (link no longer active)
The Thimerosal Controversy: An Overview (also this link is no longer active)
Bill would ban preservative thimerosal in vaccines
There might not be any "substantive evidence" as you call it, but certainly there are plenty of indications that merit to be taken seriously, and if we are to protect our health, we must not overlook these pointers.

As a Pharmacist, I come into contact daily, hourly with drug-drug interactions. Surprisingly, the majority of Doctors here in East Tennessee seem blithely unaware nor care about these interactions. In an adjoining State, if we reported such, the Physicians were on it quick and corrected the problem. Here, in TN I am seeing overprescribing of Control Meds, and complete indifference to drug interactions. Also, we are now facing a severe problem concerning Freedom of Choice: Seems the Medical Board wants to have their own way, and any MD who offers or advises vitamin therapy, supplement therapy, lifestyle changes, as opposed to surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy or drugs will literally be run out of the State. How can the 3rd fattest State in the Nation, coming in 48th in medical care even begin to think like that? We are 20 years behind the times here, and it is time for the citizens / patients to stand up and be counted.

It is now January of 2005. The medical situation you describe will get worse if the president is successful in changing the law to protect medical providers and drug companies from "punitive" damage law suits.

In response to Lupita: You make some valid points. But supporting the current, broken medical system 100% is just as risky and silly as rejecting it 100%.
I am a nurse. I keep my sanity on this issue by recognizing that Western /allopathic medicine is expert at curing some diseases and at sophisticated surgical interventions after accidents, etc. I wouldn't go to alternatives in those situations.
But Western medicine fails miserably at prevention. (Why are we such a sick nation? Why are we getting sicker, with more, and more serious, diseases?) Prevention is where the alternatives shine.
Much of the problem is political. Big Pharma, insurance companies, major medical establishments wouldn't make runaway profits if most of us kept ourselves healthy by something as simple as nutritious diets, exercise, and something as simple as adequate Vit. C (just as an example).
Think about it.
Posted by: Ruth Bolliger on January 10, 2005 08:14 PM
Ruth Bolliger is right. The problem is that by following her advice and protecting yourself against disease, you reduce the profits of the pharmaceutical companies. Since governments gain much revenue from those companies, whose side are those governments going to be on?
Dr Paul Clayton in his book 'Health Defence' says his book is aimed at closing hospitals and putting doctors out of work. If everyone followed his recommendations, that's exactly what would happen. There would not be enough sick people to keep the 'repair shops' going.
Dr Matthias Rath claims that Cancer could be consigned to the history books within 20 years, alongside diseases like polio and diptheria. Because natural ways of treating it are more succesful than the allopathic approach. But you can be sure the enormously wealthy pharmaceutical companies will fight back against that with all their might and influence. Because cancer is such a profitable disease for them. They want to keep cancer alive and growing - feeding their already vast profits.
Doctors, politicians and media bosses are but puppets dancing on the strings of the Big Pharma puppet masters.

Good website. I have been on supplements for two years since suffering health problems from consuming too many synthetic drugs- antiobiotics, anti-inflammatory, pain killers, anti-reflux medicines... for simple conditions. With natural therapy feel better but the damage from medicines is already done and probably irreversible. Here also, in Australia, too much emphasis is put on medical science. But the latest skyrocketing health cost to the public budget has prompted the government to promote healthy eating and exercise to cheat disease. And there is a trend of people turning to natural therapy but there are rumours of labeling vitamins as prescription medicine with limited availability. Hope not.

I was a patient at Holy Spirit Hospital in Camp Hill, PA from April though May of 2004. When I first went to their emergency room, they turned me away, and told me to go home. I went to their emergency room three more times, before they finally admitted me to their hospital. While in their hospital, I was given a handful of tests. On the morning of May, 15, I was having severe back pains. They refused to call a Neurologist in to give me
menthyl-prednizone, the only steroid used to quell severe back pain.
Finally, that evening they decided to call a Neurologist in to give me menthyl-prednizone. By then, it was far too late. I was already paralyzed, and the prednizone was unable to take effect for that reason.
If they had only had taken the care to have called the Neurologist in several hours earlier while I was complaining of severe back pain, I would still be able to walk presently.

Here's another version of that story: I was a paramedic, former Navy Hospital Corps, when I injured my owe back. X-rays, Vaium and bedrest was the answer. It happened more frequently, then the pain never went away. Now I was a "malingerer" and an "addict" looking for drugs. I was ignored for ten years. Now it's permanent (the pain), and all they can do is give me drugs. Except, like now, when a new doc decides I'm an addict, abusing the meds and the system, and takes most of them away, leaving me unable to function. Oh, and it's the VA now, but has been private and VA in the past.

Our only hope is to find decent health info, read it carefully and APPLY it. I'd had a heart attack & a bypass surgery & then I felt awful about 12 years later. I'd acquired various infections, surely from a blood transfusion during surgery and was like a stumbling zombie for years. Then I read info from Dr. Julian Whitaker that said I ought to receive EDTA chelation therapy which my wife and I both did. The improvement started being noted instantly (!) and I've avoided futher cardiovascular problems for teh past 11 years. A great book is "Alternative Medicine" by the Burton Goldberg Group. Buy one cheap (for only $1 maybe?) at ABE.com plus $4 shipping.

By reading a lot of health info on the Net, it was discovered that CA has banned the use of thimerisol (a mercury compound) in the vaccines used for young kids a few years back. The state of CA has been said to have the highest rate of autism among children in this whole land, in part due to the heavy concentration of mercury arriving in the air from China's smokestacks. After CA had banned the thimersol for toddlers, it's read that CA's rate of autism has now begun to DROP. If *that* doesn't indicate a close causitive effect of thimerisol (mercury) on autism, what WOULD one regard as strong evidence of that? The tragic thing to this whole nasty episode of mercury being put into people is that apparently the thimerisol has NO purpose other than to prevent bacteria growth from starting in the MULTI-USE vials of vaccines, after being used the first time. Now apparently these vaccines for kiddies are being packaged in SINGLE USE containers (but for children only) meaning the vaccine will remain sterile until it's used & no thimerisol is required. Thus it apparently is ONLY a money-saving measure to put thimerisol into the vaccines! That was (and still mostly is) done because then a single large vial could hold the supply of vaccine for many patients. Adults are still NOT being protected in CA (from what's been read) from thimerisol-containing vaccines. Even the OLD stocks of childrens' vaccines that have thimerisol in them may continue to be used in CA (as was read) because the OLD stocks have not been forbidden to be used! Therefore the money -grubbing clinics and hospitals will NOT 'suffer' any lessening of profitability by being forced to throw away their stocks of "still good" thimerisol-laden vaccines.

The whole affair of allopathic (customary) "medical care" being a lot like the organized rackets started being pretty obvious years ago. That was the result of myself and others I knew being very *badly* treated by the Allopathic Medical Industry. We were being *told* we would be helped, but instead we were made even worse. On Johnny Carson's Tonight Show in 1992, the guest star (who was probably Englebert Humperdink) explained what is wrong with our Allopathic (normal) Health Care Profession in the U.S. - and probably the rest of the developed western world also. He stated the(ancient?) Chinese would *only* pay their doctors when they were WELL, while *we* (developmentally arrested?) westerners are stupidly paying our doctors ONLY while we are SICK! Therefore our doctors have a clear *incentive* to have us remain SICK as much as possible. Certainly that media star (Humperdink?) was 100 percent *correct*. That is WHY the U.S. pays approx. TWICE as much as other developed nations do per capita for health care, yet the overall health of U.S. people is appoximately TWENTIETH from best. To read an *excellent* paper that describes the degree of crookedness of our alleged "Health Care System" - go to the site of Wade Frazier at www.ahealedplanet.net/home.htm To do a Google search for his site you can search for "Racketeering For Fun And Profit". Frazier has information on other kinds rackets, too.
You may also want to read about the fate of the German boy Domenik
Feld. He was cured of cancer by using alternative (orthomolecular) means. Then he fell back into the hands of allopathic German doctors to get treated for a sports injury. That treatment of the Feld boy by the allopathic German doctors led to his death! Then those "system" doctors stated the boy had actually died of "cancer" - although that was later disproved by a *second* autopsy that was ordered by the German courts. The conclusion: medical fraud and racketeering are *not* confined to the United States alone. A huge amount of money is being spent for "allopathic" heath treatments, many of which are worthless or worse.

There is *outstanding* information about great 'alternative' CANCER treatment methods on the "Cancer Tutor" site! That address is www.cancertutor.com/ - - This site is operated by a highly religious man who says he follows the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." He has 2 degrees, including one in math and his name is R. Webster Kehr. Virtually ALL the alternative cancer information anyone would want may be found here! The number of different treatment methods and the overwhelming *detail* Kehr has compiled on this site about treating cancer *properly* is astounding. Kehr stated he'd been treated incorrectly by an 'allopathic' (normal) physician for his high blood pressure, but that doctor prescribed a WRONG medicine. Kehr then did much Internet research, and found there are *many* health matters which Organized Medicine typically is getting very wrong - especially CANCER. Kehr states that by following non-FDA-approved cancer treatments people with cancer can have a survival rate of (approx.) 33 times what the conventional "oncologist" doctors achieve with their CUT, BURN and POISON methods. He states (as I recall?) that about only 3 to 5 percent of "allopathic" cancer patients survive, while the survival rate would be about 96 precent if DECENT alternative methods were used. After our doing much intensive reading, it's been learned that the Cancer Industry's ONLY function is to support itself (doctors, hospitals, research foundations, the NCI, cancer clinics) and the Giant Pharma Cartel. Information in the fine book "Living Proof" states that a major TOP cancer specialist once stated (privately on the phone) that to receive chemo may only *guarantee* the patient will die of cancer. It is the FALSE hypothesis of organized medicine that cancer has to be "killed" - NO IT DOES NOT! What is really essential, is for the body to be strengthened so that it can *defeat* cancer by using its OWN defense mechanisms, the immune system. The man who wrote "Living Proof: A Medical Mutiny" is an Oxford don (a tutor and student advisor) - Michael Gearin-Tosh. He was smart enough not to be stampeeded into getting the highly toxic chemotherapy. To get the MOST bnefit from alternative cancer treatments it is *important* NOT to have already received chemotherapy! A poll was quoted that was taken of Canadian cancer doctors. The polled group had overwhelmingly stated they would REFUSE to take chemotherapy if they contracted cancer.

I was told I needed my sigmoid colon removed for a sigmoidocele. I had a large benign right ovarian cyst. GYN talked me into bladder lift and removal of good ovary (went on and on about how an ovary could get cancerous, any body part could but you don't remove parts on that theory alone. Then he faked a post-void urinary retention test to get me to have bladder surgery. Then in surgery he and his partner took out part of my rectum, hung my vagina from my sacrum and repaired a rectocele neither of them had ever examined. Result I lost the ability to defecate rectally. Small bowel loops got trapped and scarred over my rectum and I had small bowel obstructions for 7 months so could not eat. 10 surgeons at 7 major medical centers either didn't "get it" or "got it" and didn't want to deal. Finally found one who did lysis and an ostomy. So far so good. Without this one surgeon I would be dead. This is a frightening commentary on medicine in America. (The original surgeons do 2 of these multi-procedures per week. Women have died and lost bodily function. They call it pelvic floor restoration surgery. They get paid per procedure. It's criminal and I fell into it.) Rose

Since the human body's own cells are clearly outnumbered by bacterial and viral cells that co-exist in the same space, any kind of illness can be linked to the presence of some "pathogenic" bacteria or viral particle. Does that mean that the particles caused the illness? Of course not, just as the presence of a cat does not prove that cats cause accidents.
Yet, if we look in the news, we see every day another "discovery" that this virus or that is being blamed for this cancer or that immune weakness, without however so much as a mention of how they do that.
Randy, you're a fake. Your arguments sound sleek but really it seems you are shilling for a paradigm that you don't even understand.
Come up with a damn idea? What about, for starters, strengthening the body by giving it what it needs through nutrition? That might help keep people out of trouble where they don't *have* to "seek legitamate treatment"...

Your argument doesn't work, Sepp. The fact that baterial and viral cells exist doesn't mean that one or other *must* have caused the illness but nor does it mean that one or other of them didn't cause it. How the media choose to report developments in medical science may well be criticised but that doesn't mean that there is no truth in them or that developments are not taking place. I see enough about the American system of health care to convince me that there is much about it that sucks and I'm glad I live on the other side of the Pond. However, the fact that conventional medicine or the system that delivers it suck, does not mean that alternative therapies are safe or efficacious.
There are plenty of cases of people who have been hurt, damaged or died needlessly because they put their faith in alternative medicine and its practitioners.

Well - I can only say that the deaths from orthodox medicine are well documented, while your assertion that "there are plenty of cases of people who have been hurt, damaged or died needlessly because they put their faith in alternative medicine and its practitioners is just that - an empty assertion without any kind of proof behind it.
Go crawl back into your holes, skeptics. People know that you are paid to post on blogs now that it's been found the media no longer are being listened to or read.

To Ruth Bolliger: you note that modern medicine is good at "sophisticated surgical interventions for accidents, etc." However, there is one slight problem with that: brain damage inflicted by general anesthesia, now known as "postoperative cognitive dysfunction," which leaves one at best depressed and deprived of one's creativity and imagination, and at worst, outright alzheimer. The flash of brilliance we are all born with unless we are intellectually disabled is what makes life worth living. Frankly, I would rather die in peace in someone's arms than to be condemned to the bland, mediocre life of an anesthetized patient. It has been extremely painful to see my entire immediate family fall prey to this psychosocial disaster, as none of them will listen to me.
Once again, here is where alternative medicine can and should step in. Please visit my website http://assumetheopposite.com/ and read "95 Theses" and view "Autobiography of an Anesthetized Patient," and read its footnotes and postscript. Also on Sepp's site, visit the page "Does Anaesthesia Cause Addiction and Degenerative Illness?" I will be posting more info there within the next week.

I completely agree with the fact that the medical community causes more harm than good in most cases. My mother was admitted inpatient to a heart hospital, where she underwent numerous tests, labwork, etc...after discovering that she had an irregular cardiac rhythym, she was put on two new meds - Coumadin and Metoprolol. Not a week after she was released from the hospital, she died. The doctor still has no idea what the cause of death was, and in the midst of finding out that my mother had died, I wasn't in the right mind to request an autopsy. I've been scouring the web for answers, and still cannot understand how a 52 year old woman could be fine one day, and gone the next.

if the nervous system gets injured in one place in the body, I think that strange reactions might occur elsewhere in the nervous system(this includes the brain), where somehow the brain might be injured as well.
therefore, during surgery, nervous system fleshes might get injured by the surgery and injure the brain at the same time? I think this might be true.
I personally experienced strange nervous system neuropathies from injuries that I got in a car accident; and yes, the injuries to the nervous system elsewhere in the body, did injure the brain(at times i percieved the injuries occurring to the brain, but i also believe that impercievable injuries can occur to the brain too).
blockages of the blood, and/or nervous system? well, also there might be disconnects that occur during surgery as they cut through some of the fleshes?
yes, parts of the nervous system might get disconnected by cutting through those fleshes like that, and the brain might then have troubles coping with that, and the drugs for aneasthesia might then make the brain make mistakes?
I tend to think the real problems are having to do with blockages and/or disconnects of the nervous system and/or blood. and cutting the body might cause these problems.
that is what i think.
also, one of the main causes of cancers in the body, is likely caused by blockages or disconnects in the blood and/or nervous system.
EATING FISH, CAN HELP, IF IT IS BEING MATABOLIZED CORRECTLY; BY LUBRICATING, AND BUT ALSO, THE BRAIN NEEDS FISH FOR THE BRAINS ONGOING DEVELOPMENT.
SO, EATING FISH MIGHT HELP TO STRENGTHEN THE BRAIN, AND ADDS LUBRICATION ALL OVER THE PLACE INSIDE THE BODY. DOING SOME MASSAGE, OR STEAMBATH MIGHT CAUSE SOME CHANGES TOO, AND SOMETIMES THE BRAIN NEEDS SOME HELP LIKE MASSAGE(ESPECIALLY KNEEDING MASSAGE). I PERSONALLY USE A SPOT KNEEDING TOOL TO SELF-MASSAGE, WHENEVER MY BLOOD OR NERVOUS SYSTEM BECOME TOO TIGHT(FROM THE INJURIES I HAD), AND THAT HAS WORKED MANY, MANY TIMES TO HELP ME TO MAKE IT THROUGH. YOU ALSO NEED TO DRINK LOTS OF WATER TO HELP WITH LUBRICATION, AND I ALTERNATE BETWEEN TAP WATER AND DISTILLED WATER.
INTESTINAL 'CANCERS'? WELL, I ALREADY SAID THAT LIKELY ALOT OF SO-CALLED 'CANCERS' ARE ACTUALLY BEING CAUSED BY BLOCKAGES OR DISCONNECTS IN THE BLOOD OR NERVOUS SYSTEM; BUT THESE BLOCKAGES OR DISCONNECTS MIGHT ACTUALLY BE ELSEWHERE IN THE BODY, FROM WHERE THE 'TUMOR' MANIFESTS ITSELF.
PEOPLE CAN DO 360 DEGREE MULTIDIRECTIONAL KNEEDING MASSAGE OF THE ENTIRE BODY, AND IT IS HOPED THAT MAYBE THIS MIGHT HELP TO LOOSEN THE BLOCKAGES, OR HELP THE BRAIN TO REALIZE IT NEEDS TO DO SOME WORK TO RECONNECT. BUT EATING FISH IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO HELP THE BRAIN.
USING A SPOT KNEEDING TOOL, I CAN ACTUALLY SIT ON IT, IN VARIOUS POSES, AND GET A HALF-DECENT MASSAGE OF THE HIPS AND PELVIC REGION(360 DEGREES AND MULTIDIRECTIONAL), BUT YOU NEED FISH TO LUBRICATE THE AREAS YOU ARE MASSAGING, SO IT CAN BE GOOD AT TIMES TO EAT FISH JUST PRIOR TO DOING THE MASSAGE.
SO WITH FISH IN THE BELLY, DO MASSAGE. I ALSO USE A HAND-HELD PULSATING MASSAGE TOOL THAT DOES A DIFFERENT TYPE OF MASSAGE, AND I USE IT ALL OVER THE BODY AS WELL.
EATING BRAN(I EAT RAISIN BRAN, BUT I TAKE THE RAISINS OUT MOSTLY, IN ORDER TO AVOID THE SUGAR ATTACHED TO THE RAISINS) EACH DAY TO HELP THE INTESTINES, BUT ALSO I FOUND THAT EATING BROCOLLI IS ALSO GOOD FOR HELPING THE INTESTINES; BUT EVEN MORE, I FOUND THAT FISH IS BEST FOR HELPING TO LUBRICATE THE INTESTINES, THEREBY ENABLING PASSING THE STOOL OUT INTO THE TOILET. BECAUSE IT NEEDED MORE LUBRICATION. SO DRINK LOTS OF WATER TOO.
ALSO, I DRINK SKIMMED MILK, AND MILK HAS VITAMIN A AND VITAMIN D; WHICH SEEM TO BE GOOD FOR THE INTESTINES. I DRINK MILK IMMEDIATELY AFTER PASSING STOOL.
ALSO, IMMEDIATELY AFTER PASSING STOOL, I HAVE FOUND THAT THAT IS THE BEST TIME TO EAT THE MOST NUTRITIOUS WHOLE VEGETABLES OR FRUITS(GRAPEFRUIT SUPPOSEDLY HELPS THE LIVER TO CLEAN ITSELF AND I EAT GRAPEFRUIT),
BUT I EAT A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT VEGETABLES AT THAT TIME, AND IT HELPS TO ENABLE THE INTESTINES FLESHES TO EAT AND CLEANSE BETTER, WHEN THE STOOL IS GONE. BROCOLLI, THOSE LONG GREEN SKINNY ONIONS, SPINACH, CARROT, CELERY, RADISH. AND I DO NOT USE SALAD DRESSINGS, BUT I EAT THESE FRESH, AND JUST MAKE SURE TO WASH THEM TO GET RID OF THE DIRT.
BUT MASSAGE MIGHT BE DANGEROUS AT TIMES, AND CAN CAUSE INJURIES TOO; BUT I HOPE PEOPLE GET THE GOOD INSTEAD OF THE BAD.
EATING FISH JUST PRIOR TO GOING TO SLEEP IS A TRICK I DISCOVERED, THAT HELPS THE BRAIN; BECAUSE THERE IS INCREASED BLOOD FLOW TO THE BRAIN WHEN PEOPLE SLEEP, SO EATING FISH JUST PRIOR TO GOING TO SLEEP MIGHT WORK TO STIMULATE THE BRAIN, OR HELP THE BRAIN TO DO SOME OF ITS ONGOING DEVELOPMENT.
THESE TREATMENTS ARE SORT OF LIKE TRYING TO FORCE-FEED; AND I BELIEVE THAT ALOT OF HEALTH PROBLEMS ARE CAUSED BY FEEDING/METABOLIZING PROBLEMS, BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF CLEANING OR FILTH PROBLEMS.
LUBRICATING BY EATING FISH, MIGHT HELP THE VARIOUS PARTS OF BODY TO 'DRAIN' THEIR FLUIDS TOO, AND HELP TO PREVENT BLOCKAGES AND ALSO STONES.
one problem with massage and eating fish, is if there is a blockage, and it starts to loosen, it might be real filthy, and sick; so people might get sick from doing this stuff. everything 'downstream' from blockages might sort of 'rot' you know(some gangrene might even be present). i know, because i have self-treated many blockages, and i did get very sick at times, as blockages loosened and rejoined with the rest of the body again.
grace and peace. Jesus is lord. try faith healing maybe?

Here's a great Vid showing the testing of Sibutramin, fisrt they pretested 10,000 patients with it, then those that suffered an adverse reaction, they excluded from the main trial which quite naturally became a stunning success.
