=The //Truth// about Western Medicine=

First I would like to tell you about my mother, who 4 years ago was diagnosed with the possibility of having either Churg Strauss or Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, both rare lung diseases with no cure, and impossible to officially classify her diagnosis unless there is a sample of the tissue extracted from a lung biopsy. When they presented her with the choice of the operation, they were really just pressuring her into it, but why? There was no cure, so why had they wanted to cut into her, making a permanent hole in her lungs, just to diagnose her? To then further poke and prod her because she is such a “rare case”, dissecting her purely for scientific measure as though she were an experiment rather than a person. Going through this experience has really made my mom grow in a way, and her growth has made me grow too, she always says to me “ “Bridgey if my doctors had ever tried to help me with my nutrition, helped guide me with what I am putting in my body, helped me prevent what is happening to me right now, I would have done it in a heartbeat” Now sometimes, no matter what you do with your diet, your exercise, the health of your mind and body, an illness is inevitable, but her comment made me think, why is it that medicine today is about curing, rather than preventing?

It made me think about people around me, my grandparents, my friends parents, and noticed how many of them took prescription pills to aid their common daily problems. Many adults take pills to fix high cholesterol (statin) rather than cleaning up their diet with healthy foods to lower it naturally, which in turn harm your liver, increase chance of cancer, and diabetes among many other side effects, making your body “need” more pills to fix your new ailment caused by the pill in the first place. This is one of many different examples of Prescription Multiplication, when a pill “cures” one ailment, while causing another needed fixing by more pills, and what does more pill consumption mean? More money for big corporations. For example, my fathers mom, my grandma K, went through brain surgery and long story short, her recovery failed. She was left unable to speak, barely to walk, and had no idea who my father was, and even had to wear diapers at the age of only 64. She was not only suffering from a failed recovery, but also Prescription Multiplication, and with her primary doctor unable to help her, who guaranteed that she could never function without the help of another, we finally starting looking to other doctors. The new doctor took her off more than half of her prescription pills and she bounced back within 3 months, she is now able to live alone, text on a smart phone, remembers who her own son is, and function just like nothing had ever happened, coincidence? I think not, absolutely not.

But why did the "cutting edge medical technology" of today harm her rather than help her? How? It hasn’t always been this way right? With more research I pushed the envelope and came across something I feel is a huge turning point in history that many people, possibly including Fitz, don’t know. I found that less than a century ago there were colleges that specified in teachings of forms of medicines that are now considered “alternative medicine”. Also, the reason Western medicine is the #1 form of medicine used today is because Carnegie & Rockefeller, on the hunt for another profitable organization, took one look at the colleges teaching many different forms of medical treatment but only saw business potential in “Western Medicine” based off science and development for non homeopathic pills that cured rather than prevented. They targeted their funding towards the profitable method and BAM, that's how it all started, it all makes sense with their mentality, because If there is nothing to cure, where is the money in that?

Before you go around and accuse me of being “anti-science” as one of my doctors at Kaiser Permanente rudely accused me (after testing my urine to see if I were pregnant without my consent, I mean dude, I was 15, and I had told him I was a virgin, like wtf right?) or a “conspiracy theorist” or even a “paranoid hippy” just think to yourself, wouldn’t it be better if you questioned things before you blindly conform to something that could be exploiting you and your family? I mean Jesus, back in the day male doctors used to prescribe “induced orgasms” to women because they thought it cured hysteria! “ Dr. Joseph Mortimer Granville, the physician who patented the first vibrator as a means of more speedily inducing orgasms in female patients being treated for hysteria. This disease, which Greek and Roman doctors believed was caused by a wandering, sex-starved womb, was said to threaten women's sanity.” We look at that and think “Ew what perverts, how stupid and barbaric were they? ” or “those poor vulnerable women! How could they not know they were being taken advantage of?” But don’t you think that maybe one day in the future, when the corruption is exposed and seen in the future history books and documents, that the people of the future could look back and think the same thing about us? Believe me, I could write a novel about how vaccines are fraud, or the real dirty truth about cancer, but I’ll spare you, and if you are at least curious, I would recommend looking at the works of Dr. Mercola, or looking at the real statistics about the Gardasil vaccine. And if you are to take anything away from this, the most important thing would be to QUESTION EVERYTHING, whether it be medicine, or what’s really in that hot dog you’re eating.
