"How much more readily will prescribed drugs spellbind people when they enjoy the sponsorship of the government, organized medicine and psychiatry, the insurance industry, and the drug companies? The only certain way to avoid medication madness is to avoid taking drugs that impact on the brain and the mind. Informing people about the risks in advance can be helpful but it by no means eliminates the risk." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.) "SOCIETY REINFORCES THE SPELLBINDING EFFECT THE SPELLBINDING EFFECT of psychiatric drugs is enhanced by the psy-chopharmaceutical complex—combined powers of drug companies, psychiatry, organized medicine, the FDA, and other federal agencies, all of whom generate an enormous amount of propaganda to convince people to overcome their natural and healthy skepticism about taking psychiatric medications." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"Shortly thereafter, organized medicine capitulated and assimilated the homeopaths and their educational institutions (Hahnemann Medical School in Philadelphia is now part of Drexel University; Flower-Fifth Avenue School in New York City is now the New York Medical College in Valhalla). Homeopathy remains an alternative system of therapeusis in much of the Western world to this day and is having a resurgence in North America. A contemporary of Hahnemann, Franz Anton Mesmer, became a celebrity because of his theories of "animal magnetism." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"Medical reformers and traditional elites were already at each other's throats, fighting for control over the future of organized medicine. Meanwhile, friction was growing between doctors and patients as the former sought ever greater social status and authority, and the latter clung on to their traditional role as primary readers and interpreters of their own bodies. In this heated atmosphere, the idea that individuals—and particularly working-class women—could become the arbiters and apparatus of medical experiment was potentially subversive, and provocative in the extreme." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.)

"Not one in a thousand people has awoken to this linguistic trick. organized medicine has brilliantly shaped the very language of disease in a way that directly alters the fundamental beliefs about cause and effect. The heavy breathing disease As a final demonstration of how this distortion works, consider this: Suppose you run up a hillside. By the time you get the top, you're breathing hard and your heart is beating wildly. If a doctor were standing on top of that hill and gave you an immediate physical exam, he might decide you were suffering from all sorts of diseases." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"Organized medicine must take an honest look at itself, acknowledge that it does not have all the answers and reach out to embrace other avenues to healing as both orthodox and complementary medicine have much to offer. Each can fill in some of the gaps left by the other." We could not have stated our own position better. Embracing this belief in the value of nutritional healthcare, we can look forward to a new age of optimum health for all in the 21st century. NUTRITIONAL THERAPY ® NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES Optimum adaptation is not perfect adaptation." - Abram Hoffer, PhD, MD, FRCP(C) and Dr. Jonathan Prousjy, DPHE, DSC, ND, FRSH, Naturopathic Nutrition: A Guide to Nutrient-rich Food & Nutritional Supplements for Optimum Health (Get the book.)

"There's no reason for organized medicine to talk about nutrition as a way to prevent chronic disease. There's certainly no reason for pharmaceutical companies to study the correlation between healthy foods and disease prevention. And the food companies have absolutely no interest in talking about nutrition and disease, because they are the ones selling the products that are causing disease in the first place. Are you beginning to see why information about nutrition and disease prevention has been so utterly suppressed?" - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.) "But nutrition isn't taught by organized medicine and doctors remain nutritionally illiterate. So there's no channel today through which nutrition is taught to the general public. There are also no profits in nutrition. The pharmaceutical industry, the FDA, hospitals, surgeons, and food producers all profit from your disease and your sickness. Nobody profits when you get healthy. In fact, the healthier you get, the less money all of those organizations receive. We also talked about the myths of "three balanced meals a day." You can't get optimum nutrition from three balanced meals." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.)

"These are merely labels made up by organized medicine, then used with logic reversals to push patients onto a lifetime of utterly useless prescription drugs. Inventing drug safety There's another fascinating logic reversal taking place in the relationship between the FDA and drug companies. Drug companies insist that all drugs are safe when they are FDA approved because, of course, the FDA is assessing the safety of those drugs, and would not approve them unless they were safe." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.) "It's a great scare tactic, and it generates billions of dollars in profits for organized medicine. Bad science generates good profits This is a form of mind hacking. Men think they are smart to go in and get screened for prostate cancer, but actually they are being used; exploited by the conventional medical industry that is using a flawed test to scare men into becoming patients and customers. All along, men are never told the real cure and prevention strategy for prostate cancer, which I have covered in great detail in my book, How to Prevent and Reverse Prostate Cancer, available at www." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.) "Instead, it gives you the illusion of free will while dictating that all choices you make lead right back to the profit centers of organized medicine. Mind Hack No. 8: "Logic Reversals" One of the most insidious mind hacks is called "Logic Reversals." This is where promoters of conventional medicine attempt to confuse cause and effect, making people believe that effects are causes. This strategy is perhaps the most covert strategy of all. It is virtually undetectable because it is a linguistic trick that has become so widespread that most people never suspect logic reversals exist at all." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"In the United States, organized medicine generally approaches prostate problems by attempting to alleviate symptoms with medication or correct them with surgery or radiation. Sometimes a condition has already caused extensive damage and such treatment is warranted. But many times, simply addressing the underlying cause of a condition can rectify it. Medication, radiation, and surgery do not address the chronic underlying causes of a problem, and thus they never completely eliminate it." - James Occhiogrosso, N. D., Your Prostate, Your Libido, Your Life (Get the book.)

"It's classic doublespeak from drug promoters, and it's indicative of the kind of double standard routinely practiced in organized medicine today. Think about it: a synthetic prescription drug with harmful side effects is perfectly legal to be prescribed as a treatment for anything—and I do mean anything. Yet it is illegal for a nutritional supplement manufacturer to tell the truth about how its products might benefit your health." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"At the turn of the twentieth century, organized medicine capitulated and assimilated the homeopaths and their educational institutions (the Hahnemann Medical School in Philadelphia, and the Flower Fifth Avenue School in New York City, now the New York Medical College in Valhalla). Homeopathy remains an alternative system of therapeusis in much of the Western world to this day, and it is enjoying resurgence in North America. A contemporary of Hahnemann, Franz Anton Mesmer, became a celebrity because of his theories of "animal magnetism." - Nortin M. Hadler, The Last Well Person: How to Stay Well Despite the Health-Care System (Get the book.)

"Can we assume that our health is always the prime concern of organized medicine? Or are Americans being deprived of effective, economical treatments because those treatments are not highly profitable for surgeons and pharmaceutical companies? Dr. Carter presents names, events and facts, which are of interest to all concerned Americans. Available through your local bookseller or through the publisher, Hampton Roads Publishing Company, (800) 766-8009 The Truth About the Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It, by Marcia Angell, M.D." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"And each faced the full force of opposition that organized medicine often visits on those who contravene the established norms—developed both for patient protection and for the trade-union interests of organized medicine—especially in the cancer field. Practitioner, Therapy, and Service Delivery In trying to find one's way through the morass of conflicting evidence on Burzynski and antineoplastons, let us return to the distinction between the practitioner, the therapy, and the service delivery." - Michael Lerner, Choices in Healing: Integrating the Best of Conventional and Complementary Approaches to Cancer (Get the book.)

"It was a very sad situation to get well because it forced me to look at the reality of what was going in organized medicine. The nutritionist who helped me also helped thousands of people get well through only natural means - herbs, diet, homeopathy, natural supplements, detoxification, etc. But, as I later found out, she was among the many healers persecuted for her tireless efforts. She grew weary of organized medicine trying to force her out of business. She needed some kind of guarantee that her work could continue without the risk of being shut down. I was the M.D. who came out of nowhere." - Cynthia A. Foster, M.D., Stop the Medicine! A Medical Doctor's Miraculous Recovery with Natural Healing (Get the book.)

"That is a reason for not bringing these modalities under the regulatory authority of the state or organized medicine. It is a matter of constitutional freedoms. But there are also strong economic arguments. The costs of these "alternative" techniques are almost always far lower than the treatments now approved by organized medicine for the same disorders. Thus, encouraging the use of these other approaches can save the American public, both as taxpayer and as health-care consumer, vast amounts of money." - Gary Null, Get Healthy Now with Gary Null: A Complete Guide to Prevention, Treatment and Healthy living (Get the book.)

"He also peered into the recesses of organized medicine's own war on cancer, but cautiously avoided letting the AMA know what he was up to.61 FitzGerald's secretive passage through the underbelly of cancer politics led him to produce an explosive expose for the Senate Committee, titled A Conspiracy Against the Health of the American People.6,2 It focused in depth on Harry Hoxsey and Dr. Andrew C. Ivy, while naming a raft of other cancer treatments systematically sunk by organized medicine without fair investigation." - Kenny Ausubel, When Healing Becomes A Crime: The Amazing Story of the Hoxsey Cancer Clinics and the Return of Alternative Therapies (Get the book.)

"They regard mainstream organized medicine as a logical extension of creeping liberal socialism, and they bitterly resent the intrusion of the state on their freedom to practice medicine as they choose. Other conservatives sympathize with their standpoint, which is essentially a free-market position. The far-right conservatives have found that some of their closest allies in the fight for "freedom of choice in cancer therapy" are New Age cultural left-wing radicals, who equally abhor the restrictive powers of organized medicine." - Michael Lerner, Choices in Healing: Integrating the Best of Conventional and Complementary Approaches to Cancer (Get the book.)

"MCS is here because of the failure of organized medicine to resolve the issue," admits Michael Straight. "People go from doc to doc, who say, 'I don't know,' which is a perfectly honest thing to say, but it's not very satisfying. People need explanations, but instead they get labeled as crocks. So they're resentful of organized medicine. Then they find these physicians who have taken advantage of their resentment and minister to them because nobody else can — or will. They provide a support group that legitimizes the illness and labels these patients as something other than crazy." - Peter Radetsky, Allergic to the Twentieth Century: The Explosion in Environmental Allergies--From Sick Buildings to Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"There is another way organized medicine has made "official" breast cancer cure rates misleading. It is by including something called "DCIS" in their breast cancer statistics. DCIS stands for "ductal carcinoma in situ," and is classified as a form of breast cancer within the duct. But many experts debate whether DCIS should even be classified as a cancer at all." - Tanya Harter Pierce, Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (Get the book.) "In 1953, the Fitzgerald Report, commissioned by a United States Senate committee, concluded that organized medicine had "conspired" to suppress the Hoxsey therapy and at least a dozen other promising cancer treatments.8 But despite his legal victory over Fishbein, Harry Hoxsey's opponents eventually proved too powerful and all his cancer treatment centers were forced to shut down. The Hoxsey clinic in Dallas closed its doors in 1960, and its long-time chief nurse, Mildred Nelson, ended up moving the operation to Mexico where she faithfully administered the treatment for many more years." - Tanya Harter Pierce, Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (Get the book.) "By "cancer industry," I mean the part of organized medicine devoted to cancer research, treatment, and education, which is led primarily by the National Cancer Institute [NCI], the American Cancer Society [ACS], the Food and Drug Administration [FDA], the American Medical Association [AMA], a few large centers throughout the country such as Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, and various pharmaceutical companies that produce cancer drugs." - Tanya Harter Pierce, Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (Get the book.)

"The device industry, organized medicine, and hospitals have powerful lobbies as well, often advocating for what is likely to be lucrative new technology. So far, in their efforts to contain health-care costs, it seems that most politicians and administrators have tried to pass the buck on difficult individual decisions about which medical advances to support and which to let languish. It's easier to increase premiums, push more out-of-pocket costs, tweak financial incentives, seek out fraud and abuse, blame malpractice lawyers, or simply make fewer people eligible." - Richard A. Deyo M.D. M.P.H., Donald L. Patrick, Hope or Hype: The Obsession with Medical Advances and the High Cost of False Promises (Get the book.)

"Christopher Bird, co-author of the best-selling book The Secret Life of Plants, wrote a detailed book about Gaston Naessens and his struggles with organized medicine. His book is called The Persecution and Trial of Gaston Naessens: The True Story of the Efforts to Suppress an Alternative Treatment for cancer, AIDS, and Other Immunologically Based Diseases. For those people who have used 714X for cancer, the recoveries have sometimes been astounding. Thus, this non-toxic cancer treatment approach is definitely worth considering.
