Health Restoration Dr. Curt Maxwell Modern Medicine has pharmaceutical drugs that are able to control symptoms of many diseases and conditions. There are several problems however. Drugs are non curative. Therefore it is not possible to drug someone back to health. Also all drugs have secondary effects, many of them severely dangerous and themselves life threatening. The third largest killer now is considered to be iatrogenic disease. Obviously the reason people develope degenerative disease is not because of a lack of drugs. The reasons are several. Environmental toxins such as heavy metals lead, mercury, cadmium etc as well as chemical pollutants from solvents, dyes, cleaning products and petroleum byproducts can impair the immune system. This along with nutritional deficiencies from poor diet and food from depleted soils can further weaken the immune system, allowing opportunistic infections. A program of health restoration can include drugs to subdue symptoms as long as the underlying cause is also being addressed. The problem with modern allopathic medicine is that there is no understanding of the cause(s) and therefore no way to treat the cause(s). It should none-the-less be understood that while emergency and trauma medicine can be life saving, the current methods of treating degenerative disease could be considered criminally negligent. The two largest killers demonstrate this point. Heart disease remains the biggest killer, although the cause has been known for several decades. If one has a heart attack they should be taken to the emergency department of the nearest hospital promptly. However if one is sitting in front of a cardiologist, it is most likely the specialist has no clue about the cause of heart disease. Dietary saturated fat and cholesterol have little if anything to do with serum cholesterol, and serum cholesterol levels probably have nothing to do with heart disease. Therefore if the cardiologist is not at least checking homocysteine and C reactive protein, no viable curative treatment can be initiated. The disease will progress even though the patient may feel better because symptoms have been relieved by drugs. Likewise with the absolutely abysmal, criminally negligent, treatment of cancer. Niether surgery, chemo or radiation ( cut, poison, burn ) have anything to do with the cause and reason the immune system allowed the cancer cells to start with. Sadly several hundred thousand people are chemotherapied each year, although its difficult to understand how a treatment that fails more than 90% of the time could be called a therapy. The fact is that every disease has a business built around it and therefore there is no economic incentive to ever cure anything. There are cures for most diseases that are suppressed directly because of financial interests. Three examples are heart disease, cancer and rheumatoid arthritis, which it has been shown can be routinely cured or put into permanent remission with holistic methods. The information is finally available all over the internet. People are waking up to the huge medical scam and Integrative Medical clinics are opening all over the country. These clinics purport to take from regular and alternative medicine and combine them for the patients benefit. One problem is they usually have several practitioners from various disciplines all trying to work together. Often a Medical Doctor, Chiropractic Physician and an Acupuncturist. This leads to a fragmented treatment process with each specialist doing their individual best but no one seeing the big picture. (copyright 2004) Dr. Curt Maxwell |
