Modern Medicine is a Fraud

This certainly isn't the first time that you'll hear this sort of thing here. There are so many ways for me to show you how the modern medical establishment is corrupt to the core and lacks basic standards of ethical conduct.

I refuse to visit a doctor unless there is no other option; the same goes for taking pharmaceuticals, including antibiotics. These prescription and over-the-counter drugs are killing and harming millions of people every year and the medical profession in conjunction with big pharma is to blame; the blood of millions is on their hands.

From The Daily Reckoning.

Do you remember that we said: "most of modern health care and modern education was a swindle?" We said it without any real evidence. It was just an observation, a prejudice and a guess.

Well, cometh a new book by an old friend, Randy Fitzgerald. In "The Hundred Year Lie," Randy argues that most of modern medicine is a fraud:

"At the turn of the 20th century the average life span was about forty years of age in developed countries. By the beginning of the 21st century life spans were nearing eighty years on average.

"Of those 40 years of increased lifespan during the 20th century, no more than seven years can be credited to modern medicine, with even most of that due to advances in medical technology rather than drugs. That estimate comes from Dr. Dick Jackson, director of the Center for Environmental Health at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"Ninety percent of the reduction in the death rate occurred before the introduction of antibiotics or vaccines, adds Dr. Anthony Cortese, a former U.S. Public Health Service official. It was largely due to improved water, food, and milk sanitations; a reduction in physical crowding; the introduction of central heating, municipal sewer systems, and refrigeration; and the move away from highly toxic coal and wood burning to less toxic natural gas and oil."

"The scientist who discovered the first two commercially manufactured antibiotics, the microbiologist Rene Dubos, admitted in his book The Mirage of Health: 'The introduction of inexpensive cotton undergarments easy to launder and of transparent glass that brought light into the most humble dwelling, contributed more to the control of infection than did all the drugs and medical practices.'"
