Here we go again folks…remember the smallpox media blitz after 9/11 touting a significant biological warfare threat? Followed up by the Anthrax scare? Well let’s start there before we dive into the “swine flu.”
Okay take a look at this statement straight from the CDC website:
In June 2001, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) made recommendations for using smallpox (vaccinia) vaccine to protect persons working with orthopoxviruses and to prepare for and respond to a possible terrorist attack involving smallpox (Source) Read the rest of this entry »
Cholesterol has become a buzz word in the health care arena. Turn on the TV and you’ll see commercials for cholesterol lowering medications. Talk to your friends and they’ll probably tell you that they have high cholesterol and their doctor is treating it with a statin drug (go ahead, think about it. You probably have some friends or relatives diagnosed with high cholesterol).
I saw this story on 20/20 about a Medical Doctor being scrutinized by the state board and fellow colleagues for practicing what they call “pseudo-science.” Dr. William Rea has a clinic whose main focus is on detoxification from environmental toxins. His patients are sensitive to environmental chemicals and attribute their recovery to Dr. Rea’s treatments. As I was watching the report I noticed that the reporter asked Dr. Rea if any of his treatment procedures were published in any medical journals. He responded with a quick “well those journals are all run by pharmaceutical companies!”
In my opinion I think that the state medical board is taking things out of context. He’s done a great job at helping people that others out there cannot believe, because conventional medicinal treatments have not worked. My point is that who really cares if the treatments are not published in any medical journals? All that really matters is that the patient essentially “feels better.” There are many things that conventional medicine cannot explain. Its those things that they can’t explain which they “poo poo.”
I can understand the point of view of the state board. They’re not familiar with the treatment procedures and their job is to protect the public from harm. But I really think that they should do some research on it. Well…scratch that. There’s been tons of research done on environmental medicine. The EPA has tons and tons of documentation that environmental toxins cause damage to human tissue.
It just appalls me to hear highly educated doctors speak so ignorantly about subjects they have little training on. Before you can make a judgement call, you need all the facts. You have to do your research. Unbiased research.
We’ve been trained in our society to believe that a “diagnosis” is really what’s wrong with us. Sometimes we opt for a “second opinion” but we’re often given the same news. I’ve seen too many failures in our medical system, failures that can be life threatening. All this being “money driven.” Follow the money trail people and you’ll find the truth. This video you’re about to watch is an example of a common situation in our medical society. We can’t control what the medical society does. We can only control what we do. Always question a “diagnosis.” Just because something is given a name, doesn’t mean that’s the end of it all.
