Just say no more. Quit Now. Avoid VACCINES PILLS DOCTORS Leave the Church of Modern Medicine. I see a lot of people doing that today. "The greatest threat of childhood diseases lies in the dangerous and ineffectual efforts made to prevent them through mass immunization.....There is no convincing scientific evidence that mass inoculations can be credited with eliminating any childhood disease."--Dr Robert Mendelsohn, M.D"Robert Mendelsohn had a rule: "You never hear about the dangers of a drug unless another drug to replace it is available."--Ted Koren DC For those that believe in Doctors, Mendelsohn is one you should really believe in.

"Modern Medicine would rather you die using its remedies than live by using what physicians call quackery".--Dr Robert Mendelsohn, M.D.

The pediatrician's wanton prescription of powerful drugs indoctrinates children from birth with the philosophy of 'a pill for every ill'."... "Doctors are directly responsible for hooking millions of people on prescription drugs. They are also indirectly responsible for the plight of millions more who turn to illegal drugs because they were taught at an early age that drugs can cure anything - including psychological and emotional conditions - that ails them. " - Robert S. Mendelsohn, M.D., How to Raise a Healthy Child...In Spite of Your Doctor.
"There are significant risks associated with every immunization and numerous contradictions that may make it dangerous for the shots to be given to your child....There is growing suspicion that immunization against relatively harmless childhood diseases may be responsible for the dramatic increase in autoimmune diseases since mass inoculations were introduced. These are fearful diseases such as cancer, leukemia, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Lou Gehrig's disease, lupus erthematosus, and the Guillain-Barre syndrome." Dr Mendelsohn, Because routine immunizations that bring parents back for repeated office calls are the bread and butter of their specialty, pediatricians continue to defend them to the death. The question parents should be asking is; Whose death? For a pediatrician to attack what has become the "bread and butter" of pediatric practice is equivalent to a priest denying the infallibility of the pope. "I'm reminded of a debate the famous pediatrician Robert Mendelsohn, MD had with a psychiatrist. The panelist asked them about the Family Bed (everyone sleeping together). "It's a terrible idea," said the psychiatrist. "I'd never sleep with my children. It fosters dependency, it confuses them sexually, it's just plain wrong." The moderator asked if Dr. Mendelsohn would care to respond. "I agree with the psychiatrist," said Dr. Mendelsohn. "Psychiatrists should not sleep with their children. But for everyone else, it's just wonderful. I gives infants the warmth and security they seek. It enhances emotional health and it brings the family closer."--Ted Koren DC The door to the doctor's office ought to bear a surgeon general's warning that routine physical examinations are dangerous to your health. Why? Because doctors do not see themselves as guardians of health, and they have learned precious little about how to assure it. "Almost every stage of obstetrical procedure in the hospital is part of the mechanism that enables the doctor to create his own pathology."
I have a Brother who is a DR. and a Son in medical school in Michigan. I dearly Love them both. How ever I keep reminding them every chance I get about our awful situation. THE VACCINATION HOAX
Vaccines aren't in any way safe, and are far more dangerous than the diseases.
The fox has been in charge of the hen house since vaccination began, so only the vaccine belief system ever gets disseminated.
Consequently, along with the present knowledge of the child immune system vaccination is an on going, highly profitable, long ago failed medical experiment using children, without informed consent, and to compound that fact--by compulsion in the USA.

A thousand years ago, consulting a doctor about abdominal pains would have earned you a week in bed, covered with leeches. These days it seems to most of us that medical science has advanced a little since then.

Well, we hate to break it to you, but many of the common procedures in use today are about as useful, if not more dangerous, than that bucket of leeches from ages past.

Why not join the Church of Natural Living, free from the toxic modern medical system, living and sleeping in harmony together. Kind of like we do at hubpages. I am so glad I joined hubpages.

  It's obvious you don't, Dave. And, it's a simple case of going through your examples to see the blatant contradictions.
  
  So, why hasn't your god taught scientists how to cure cancer, or the many other illnesses that have been killing people for a long time?
  
  So, without a belief in a god, your parents would have simply left you to die?
  
  How do you rationalize the fact that the very same doctors have not given the correct medicine or were able to diagnose the correct illness in others?
  
  What about the ocean of other Christians who can't afford to purchase medicine?
  
  Seems like your belief in giving your god credit for all those things is rather selfish, in other words, you only see yourself and no one else, those who were not as fortunate as you.
  
  We don't even need to bring in the armies of starving children on this one. You've provided a boatload of contradiction.

  but penny compare the longevity 50 years before and now. the improvement was mostly due to modern medicine. of course now a days it is more about insurance and business and pharmaceuticals but most people in the world (africa and asia) die not due to modern medicine but due to lack of medicine and the practices advocated by medicine( though good diet and proper hygiene which you accept as universal truths now had to be rediscovered or implemented by medicine)
  then in developed nations people die of accidents, heart disease or diabetes-which has nothing to do with medicine but to the longevity(thanks to medicine), sedentary life, lack of exercise and utter carelessness.

  I agree there are as many deaths caused by other reasons, other than medical ones that were listed in a previous post. I do not know whether longevity has anything to do with medical advancement or whether are more aware of what does not work.
  Natural remedies tend to look at the whole person, that being mind and body.
  Conventional tends to look at the body only.
  They both advocate prevention is better than cure.

I understand. That's why polio and diphtheria, pertussis and smallpox are no longer epidemic is this country - because we never immunized on a mass scale for them.

I believe strongly in immunizations, but I would agree wholeheartedly that prescription drugs are a bane on society, in many ways. I know so many people that medicate, for no reason. Chunky people unwilling to accept the fact that their weight is a factor in their high blood pressure and high sugar. People who take antibiotics for a common cold. I blame doctors for part of this, but people are intelligent enough to find natural ways to fix a lot of their problems.

But whatever ills you see in the idea of immunization,the alternative is much more horrible.

  Well, both may be true but I don't think they are connected. I know several people on antidepressants. They are, from my observation, neither affiliated with religion or common sense. This is not to imply I don't see the need for medicine.
  
  People need to understand their symptoms and choose the appropriate and least invasive way to address them. The doctor is not always right. It has been my experience if I feel bad, all I have to do is sleep on it and it is usually better in the morning.

  OK, so I always got the impression from your posts you were rather open minded. I try to follow that route myself. Do you really believe that? I'll be honest, I grew up in a religious community, but there were no serious Bible Thumpers. We do have Jehovah Witnesses with the crazy no blood thing, but I've never known anyone that didn't appear to run to the doctor for drugs at the slightest idea of a need, They love to talk their illnesses and the concept of religion is never a part of the conversation.

If prayer is all you need to heal the sick why has the church fought for and won protection, in 44 states, from procecution for killing your child with prayer? It's sickening to me that some of you believe and accept that a lot of christian's personal version of god, really, really, likes to see innocent children, suffer and killed in his name, Amen and praise be to god's self appointed baby killers. If you really want to kill your child, at least have the guts to kill them quickly with your own hands, I suppose your god prefers to have the children being offered up as sacrafices to suffer as much as possible before they die, Amen and praise the baby killers for god.
Medicine might not be perfect but at least it does have history of documented success in something other than a 2000 year old comic book, Can I get an Amen for the baby killers out there?

  Hi stump. I agree with you that it is horrible for parents to be outside of the law for killing children with their beliefs, but I think it is a very small percentage of Christians who hold such a backward view.

Great article. It is kind of funny that when someone goes to a doctor and gets healed, the doctor and his prescriptions get all the glory. The truth is, our Creator designed our bodies to be self-healing. Sometimes, even when a doctor poisons a person with toxic medications, a person will heal. The body, miraculously, has enough reserves to draw on. However, it is more likely that a healthy diet, herbs, homeopathy, and the like will enable the body to heal more effectively.

God gets praise for the miracle of the one survivor and no mention of the fact that he sacrificed 90 other people at the same time. Someone, perhaps the pilot or the plane manufacturer will be blamed and/or sued for fault in the 90 deaths.

  So I also saw a question about children's illnesses and alternative therapies and I have a request. I didn't want to interrupt the question/answer flow there by not responding with a sincere answer (I am respectful, believe it or not, despite being an evil, stupid doctor) but I have a request...
  
  "The truth is, our Creator designed our bodies to be self-healing."
  
  Based on this statement you made in a previous forum post where you also talk about doctors poisoning people, please explain how to self heal the following childhood diseases...
  coarctation of the aorta, gastroschisis, epilepsy, appendicitis, leukemia, cleft palate, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, type I diabetes, asthma, bacterial meningitis, rheumatic fever, cystic fibrosis...
  
  I'm sorry, I have no problem with using complementary therapies in conjunction with 'modern medicine' but I do have a problem with the promotion of these therapies using 'doctor-bashing' and telling people they should not seek medical care because God or their own bodies can heal them.
  
  I'm not trying to be rude or disrespectful as I'm sure you are an intelligent, caring person, but please, please be careful about telling people that they don't need to take their kids to a doctor because they will be poisoned. That's my humble request.

  Doc, I can only speak for epilepsy, but I have seen my daughter cured by a gluten free diet, (and prayer and diligent care)and before I saw that I had seen her turned into a zombie and classified ESN by chemical medicines.... and much as I applaud medical science for the way it can treat trauma cases and diseases that it understands, there is a big tendency for BigPharma to train medical professionals to treat the symptoms and not the cause in many diseases that could be treated naturally, but where BigPharma would lose revenue.
  
  I have two hubs on my daughters 'epilepsy' and others on natural healing, and my research started after a doctor friend of mine told me (about 30 years ago) that if I came to him with a recognisable trauma problem, he could pretty much guarantee my healing, but if it was in an area that they do not know yet what causes it, the best he could do was experiment with whatever was available....I was not reassured!
  
  Now to the God aspect.
  
  Obviously believers accept that God controls all things, so it's a no brainer that if you are sick, God allowed it to happen, and therefore their must be a reason, and the logical conclusion (for most) is that sin MUST be the reason.
  
  OK so far we have two aspects which are NOT automatically related.
  
  God can allow you to get sick, but that does not mean you have committed some sin to be ´punished' for.
  
  One strong believer got cancer, and finding out that it was terminal, brought many folk to faith in his remaining time on earth by the strength of his belief, and the fact that when folk spoke about his imminent demise, he simply said he was thankful that God had told him his time was limited, but maybe they were not aware of their life expectancy.... they could die that very night?
  
  On the other hand, when you DO have 'authorities' issued 'out there' that allow the enemy to attack you, then obviously you need to deal with those authorities (i.e. cancel them) before you will deal with the disease.
  
  In simple terms, if you have done wrong things, you are fair game for the enemy to attack you, but not always must that apply, sometimes God will allow you to be afflicted in order that a higher purpose is achieved by your affliction.
  
  In ALL cases, if the believer continues to give thanks to God for whatever happens, they will be fine... i.e. either God will heal them, or if they enter eternity, they do it with triumph.
  
  In a world where dying is considered almost as unforgivable as choosing to give birth, we tend to forget that birth AND death are natural events in our eternal existence, and for secularists who see death as the END, it is natural they should seek to extend life as much as possible.
  
  Personally I use medical science to diagnose anything that I perceive is wrong with me, then ask God to show me the BEST way to deal with that problem..... and there is good testimony out there that shows that God can guide you to health without chemical medical intervention.... Google ´Jerry Golden, cancer' and see what I mean!

  BB, with great respect (and I do mean that) I have spent years exploring in depth how we fit into Gods plans and where God operates in our lives, physically and spiritually, and it comes as no surprise that many folk cannot understand how God fits into things.
  
  I could not myself for 40 years, I have begun to understand during the last 18 years, but during those years I have been blessed to be able to study more deeply and with greater freedom than most lay folk can achieve.
  
  It was the prayer that led us to find the answer to the epilepsy, if we had been secular people, we would have believed the doctors and our daughter may have been dead by now, or a complete zombie.
  
  God is real for us because we live with Him in our lives, I know many folk have ostensibly been 'Christians' for all their lives, yet never establish that vital link that we and others we know (scattered worldwide) have with God through Christ.
  
  We have no denomination, no doctrine apart from scripture (and mainly the red letter sections), and no desire to join anybody, nor condemn those who do have denominations and doctrines.
  
  Yes it's simple, yes God can guide anybody who will submit to His will, which is in any case that we should be blessed.
  
  I pray that one day all will understand that.
  
  BTW Sin does have a relationship with sickness and dis-ease, but not ALL sickness is related to sin.

  I'd far prefer that children were "forced" to have vaccinatons, it makes the world a far safer place for everyone as a result. The reason you don't live somewhere "dangerous" is because of vaccinations.
  
  Presumably you're from the developed world; in which case you needn't worry about Smallpox, Rubella, Cholera, Typhoid etc.
  
  Those that you were "forced" to have (and the fact others had them) are likely to be protecting you from mumps, measels, tuberculosis, meningitis and hepatitis.
  
  If this rubbish is propegated then it leads to increases in the prevelance of diseases which would otherwise remain very low. This happened in the Uk after the entirely unfounded story about MMR made the tabloids, with huge rises in measels contraction amongst children. Some died as a result, others were blinded or sterilised.

  Yes it was those vaccinations. It was forced as everything was in the days. We were an oppressed culture and did not have a 'choice' just as our language was never allowed to be uttered anywhere except in our homes.
  
  I am not disputing whether or not they are useful or not useful that is an individuals choice. One we did not have.
  
  Our ancients did not have the vaccinations available in todays world. Nor did they need them till the European came along. The diseases they brought with them had no known natural remedy because the diseases were foreign to our culture and not enough research had been done to find a natural remedy. (kinda like when aids first came into being) Since way back then however they have found natural remedies.
  
  The choice still lies with the individual. It is not always religion that dictates what method one chooses. Sometimes it is lifestyle as it was in our culture. Now we have two to choose from. Whether one is better than the other is subjective.

  Look I'm not here to debate how your culture was supressed by whoever; fact is, these diseases have made it to wherever you live and it is preferable, presumably, that you live rather than die? Therefore vaccinations and modern medicine are the best you have. It is not just about individual choice, it's also about social responsibility and responsibility to your children.
  
  Your ancients died on the battlefield, of malnutrition in times of famine, at birth (though obviously not the ones passing on the genes) or of a disease aged 35(ish). It wasn't all larks and giggles!
  
  I don't know what you mean about natural remedies to aids. There is no evidence that natural remedies help anyone with aids or hiv. I really hope you don't mean that.
  
  I'm afraid it's not subjective either. That's not how the world works; not everyone's opinion holds valid weight. It's a fact, and thank god for that.

It's sad to see this debate in the media, with doctors who have spent their careers studying this kind of thing trying to convince people that vaccinations are important, and on the other side you've got Jenny McCarthy, from MTV's "Singled Out" and Playboy, convincing millions of people that vaccines gave her son autism (as it turns out, his condition is not actually autism) despite having no medical training to make that conclusion and basing her belief on a study by a doctor who just recently was found to have falsified the data because he had a stake in a company that would have benefited if the traditional vaccine was found to be dangerous. That quack might go to prison, and he's the basis for this entire anti-vaccine movement in the past decade. The sad thing is nobody listened to this doctor until he had a blonde with big cans advocating his position on Oprah. Then he became the heroic doctor taking on the corporate medical establishment.

  Perhaps the doctor had facts that we don't necessarily have access to. There are as many deaths caused by conventional medicine as there are deaths caused by lack of conventional medicine.
  
  An excerpt http://www.cancure.org/medical_errors.htm
  
  The report apparently shows there are 2,000 deaths/year from unnecessary surgery; 7000 deaths/year from medication errors in hospitals; 20,000 deaths/year from other errors in hospitals; 80,000 deaths/year from infections in hospitals; 106,000 deaths/year from non-error, adverse effects of medications - these total up to 225,000 deaths per year in the US from iatrogenic causes which ranks these deaths as the # 3 killer. Iatrogenic is a term used when a patient dies as a direct result of treatments by a physician, whether it is from misdiagnosis of the ailment or from adverse drug reactions used to treat the illness. (drug reactions are the most common cause)
  
  *************************(further down in the report)
  
  The study is said to show that more than two million American hospitalized patients suffered a serious adverse drug reaction (ADR) within the 12-month period of the study and, of these, over 100,000 died as a result. The researchers found that over 75 per cent of these ADRs were dose-dependent, which suggests they were due to the inherent toxicity of the drugs rather than to allergic reactions.
  
  Another study compares the deaths caused by various medical reasons compare it to deaths caused by cancer and heart disease. http://www.wanderings.net/notebook/Main … lTreatment
  
  Total medical related 783936
  Heart Disease 699397
  Cancer 553251
  
  The cost of medical related 282 billion

  I love you Bailey, but your last sentence about docs receiving lavish gifts for using their drugs is a bit misleading. There are a few docs that are essentially employees of the drug companies, that earn a significant percentage of their income giving talks about the next miracle drug of that company, but it's a really small percentage.
  
  Most docs are like me, working in private practice. We see maybe one or two drug reps a year, who may order some Subway for lunch or pass out a few pens while they talk about why their drug is best in a particular instance. I'm really not stupid enough to choose one drug over another because it's been 'pushed' in this manner.
  
  There was a time, in the 70s and perhaps the 80s when there was more widespread 'spoiling' of doctors by pharma, but those days are gone. There has been a serious crackdown and really, after 12 years in practice, I can count on one hand, the number of times I've been in touch with a drug rep. Most of us don't even have the time to talk to them, even if they were around. Maybe I'm sheltered, but with the operating room being the most lucrative aspect in the business of the hospital, I doubt it.
  
  Anyway, we have 'talked' before and there is definitely a deficit in dealing with problems like you and your son had with sensitivities, but I think it's more that docs don't know what else to do, rather than they don't want to help (although without knowing the docs, of course, I'm speculating based on the fact that the hundreds to thousands of docs I know would help if they knew how).

  Of course, I still go to the doctor etc, but I inform myself as much as possible, and don't believe everything they say without thoroughly investigating.
  
  My hubby is having surgery next week - I've told him to make sure he tells them he always throws up with anaesthetic
  
  Many people are overmedicated & have unnecessary surgeries (both carry risks). And not properly informed of side-effects to watch for - eg that antidepressants can actually make one MORE suicidal. A lot of doctors are very casual about these kinds of potent drugs.

  And Bailey, you are right too in your assessment that you have to contribute to your own care. Learn about your issues, ask and research about your medications, look out for yourself too. And I agree, I think some docs believe that when patients ask for their help that they are asking for medication, so they may jump to giving a med too soon. It's like when people say they know that antibiotics don't treat viral infections, but when they are sick, they demand the antibiotic anyway or they go away angry at the doctor for not doing anything. But just because someone wants it, doesn't mean you have to give it.
