history and flaws with allopathic medicine

[Gabes-Apg]

Good article that explains why the current medical system is struggling to 'heal' people

It is now commonly known that most general practitioners (GP’s) are not trained in holistic medicine. They are trained to administer drugs to treat or manage a disease(symptom suppression). They are not taught that the body is a self-regulating and self-healing system. They have totally inadequate training on nutrition and gut biology. They are not taught about the link between minerals and disease. This situation is not a basis for good advice on health.

The body will heal itself given the right nutrient resources, a balanced gut biology and mineral balance, including natural water (negative charged), clean and oxygenated air (not polluted), nutrient dense food and regular exercise and contact with nature. This is the way that we are designed or have evolved over millions of years to self-regulate and self-heal.

The allopathic medical system has not only captured control of government regulative bodies, but medical associations, most medical research institutions and the media. Allopathic medicine research is driven by the agenda of the pharmaceutical companies. Consequently allopathic medicine is not scientific (ie. objective and independent): it is driven by profit and sustained by corporate and political objectives. The primary objective of the allopathic medical system is to sustain sickness: it has no commercial interest in human health or welling. This is why diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disease and infection are increasing at a rapid rate. The modern day general practitioner is a product of this system and is bound by a medical certificate or licence and government regulation to operate within a very narrow field of prescription and advice on human health.

Nice article. I've seen a little bit about the history of how western and in particular how American medical services were created, but that piece does a great job putting it all together.

This morning I was reading a book that had me thinking of this sight and what we do. The book was about an American/German doctor that challenged conventional wisdom. His name was Walter Kempner. He had escaped NAZI Germany before the outbreak of war, and landed a job at Duke University medical school. While there, early on in his work, he made a passing comment that he believed most diseases of the kidneys, heart, and diabetes were metabolic or diet related in nature. (When in Germany Kempner had worked for a short period of time with the famous scientist Otto Warburg, so makes since to me that he would hold this belief.) Well, no one believed Dr. Kempner and he was challenged to prove his diet ideas. So with that the doctor drew up a bland, simple rice and fruit diet, and he began feeding it to patients with these conditions, that he hoped would benefit. It wasn't easy at first, as not only did some patients disagree with the diet, and cooks and nurses would sometimes sabotage what was being served giving patients other forbidden items. In the end though what happened was remarkable and beyond what was thought possible. Most patients after a period of healing saw their kidney issues resolve, hearts repaired, type 2 diabetes went into remission, depression for many lifted, and a host of others health positives. Originally many of these patients were not expected to live much longer. The medicines they had been receiving were not helping. They were the worst of the worst I suppose it could be said.

Dr. Kempner had many theories on why this was happening. None of them were ever proven. He went on to create a clinic that became well known in its time, treating regular folks, wealthy and the famous with the rice diet and modified versions.

What had me thinking of this sight though is what Dr. Kempner did was a limited diet, much as what we do here with the gut, and then waited for patients to heal. Sometimes healing was quick, particularly for the young, and it took longer for older patients. Not everyone was cured of their ailments, but a large portion were.

I was thinking, it would have been nice if the bland rice diet had become widely used in American hospitals in its time. It would have prevented suffering, saved large amounts of money over the current health system as pointed out in the article, and imagine today would be more advanced.
