Sacrifice (human) Medical Genocide
Has Drug-Driven Medicine Become A Form of Human Sacrifice?
Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution the time will come when medicine will organize itself into an undercover dictatorship. To restrict the art of healing to doctors and deny equal privileges to others will constitute the Bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic. -- Attributed to Dr. Benjamin Rush, Signer of the Declaration of Independence

Benjamin Rush accurately foretold a grave possibility facing
Americans today: namely, that the art and science of healing should be
restricted to a select class of allopathic physicians, who have the sole legal
right to recommend and administer medicines, and whose pharmacopeia excludes –
as a matter of principle – all the healing foods, vitamins and herbs which have
been used safely and effectively for countless millennia in the prevention and
treatment of disease.
We have entered an era where medicine no longer bears any resemblance to the art
and science of healing. The doctor no longer facilitates the body’s innate
self-healing capabilities with time, care, good nutrition and special help from
our plant allies. To the contrary, medicine has transmogrified into a business
enterprise founded on the inherently nihilistic principles of pure, unbridled
crony capitalism.
Turning Disease Into Gold
Many modern diseases are, in fact, created by fiat (not unlike modern
currencies): age-old symptoms of nutritional deficiency or chemical poisoning
are repackaged and renamed in Latin and Greek as would-be monolithic disease
entities, and subsequently rolled out to the consumer as new markets; each
disease representing a veritable gold mine of "treatable" symptoms; each symptom
providing justification for the prescription of a new set of patented, toxic
drug-commodities.
The "medicines" themselves are often devoid of intrinsic value, being nothing
more than rebranded and re-purposed chemicals, intended (though all too often
failing) to be administered in sub-lethal concentrations. Indeed, many of these
chemicals are too toxic to be legally released into the environment, much less
be administered intentionally to a human who is already sick.
You need look no further than a typical drug package insert to find proof that
the side effects of most drugs far outnumber their purported beneficial effects.
These chemicals are so highly leveraged against their true value, that they
often sell for as much as 500,000% percent from cost! Only
medical/pharmaceutical and financial institutions (e.g. Federal Reserve) are
legally empowered to generate the illusion that they are creating something of
value out of nothing of value, on this scale.
This manipulation of perceived value, which is the basis for the global
dominance of the drug-based medical model, is not unlike how financial
institutions create toxic derivative products, essentially creating the illusion
of financial well being and prosperity, at the very moment that they are
planting the seeds of death within the global economy; ruining the lives of
countless millions in the process.
The Undercover Medical Dictatorship
Within the present dominant medical system, healing has not simply been
forgotten, but intentionally exorcized, as it represents the antithesis of
perpetual profitability which requires the incurability of the human body. Were
the truth to be told, and the body’s self-regenerative capabilities
acknowledged, the entire superstructure of drug-based medicine and hundreds of
billions of dollars in revenue it generates annually, would crumble overnight.
When a handful of turmeric has more chemotherapeutic activity than any drug yet
to receive FDA approval, or an enzyme from pineapple is superior to a
40-year-old blockbuster chemotoxic agent, one begins to understand why the
hundreds of studies proving natural substances can destroy cancer are never
discussed. You can’t compete with free, effective and safe in a medical
marketplace dominated by expensive, ineffective and unsafe.
If this degeneration into quackery and snake-oil salesmanship, which is modern
drug-driven medicine, were simply a lesson in what bad things can happen when
health care is no longer a basic human right but strictly a profit-driven
commodity, perhaps Americans could find it within themselves to once again free
themselves from the shackles of oppression. After all, do we not consider
ourselves the very originators of freedom, independence and democracy? Have we
not such great faith in these principles that we practically trip all over
ourselves (crushing entire countries as we fall) in our Promethean effort to
export these values overseas whether we are invited to do so or not? Would we
stand for less when it comes to our own health freedom?
Sadly, the “undercover dictatorship” Benjamin Rush foretold is not simply a
homegrown one we can root out from the inside, as it were. Although the American
Medical Association (AMA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) behave as
if they are at the top of this pyramid of power relations, they serve far lower
in the hierarchy. While the United States government and American corporate
lobbying groups may appear to be behind the FDA’s shameless pandering to the
interests of the drug companies, transnational corporations and organizations --
and the few steering them -- are in fact pulling the strings. The United States
no longer enjoys global economic and cultural hegemony. We are now embedded in
an international playing field where multinational and transnational
organizations like the drug company Pfizer, or the World Health Organization
(WHO) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) have power and influence that
overshadows the US or any other particular government or nation-state.
These larger organizations blur the divisions traditionally drawn between public
and private institutions, insofar as their agendas and mandates are consistent
with global economic imperatives that do not account for the self-proclaimed
sovereignty of any particular nation-state’s Constitution or laws above its own.
For example, the United States may soon no longer be able to allow the
over-the-counter sale of dietary supplements if the World Trade Organization
decides it violates our membership agreement to do so. (This process known as
Codex Alimentarius is already quite far enough along, with prescription-only
vitamins already making it onto the market, and herbs like ephedra (and cannabis
long before it) having been classified as illegal drugs.
Pharmageddon: The Death of Natural Medicine
At the end of times the merchants of the world will deceive the nations through their Pharmacia.
(sorcery) - Rev 18:23
Given this unseemly state of affairs, some believe we are on
the precipice of a medical end-of-times or “Pharmageddon," if you will, where
medicine is no longer directly associated in any way with healing, but rather is
a form of mass control and a highly organized means of simultaneously defrauding
the public of its wealth and health.
After all, is there any greater absurdity than a medical model that treats the
symptoms of disease with sub-lethal dosages of toxic chemicals and in which
there is no attempt to uncover, understand or remove the causes of those
imbalances?
After all, what disease has ever been found to be caused by a lack of a drug?
Is acid reflux caused by a lack of proton-pump inhibitors?
Is heart disease caused by a lack of statin drugs?
Is osteoporosis caused by a lack of Fosamax?
Is cancer caused by a lack of chemotherapy?
Is depression caused by a lack of Paxil?
Absolutely not!
Then why would anyone consider it sound practice to use potentially toxic
chemicals as a first-line treatment for conditions that are not caused by a lack
of a chemical? To the contrary many diseases are caused exactly by culminative
exposure to toxic chemicals that not unlike drugs are biologically alien to the
body. We are treating poisoning with poisons!
Can we dignify this approach by calling it medicine? Or, is it more accurately
described as a form of sorcery?
Pharmaceuticals and Human Sacrifice
The sole reliance on Pharmaceuticals reveals quite a lot about the agenda
underpinning modern medical practice. The Greek word Pharmakon has the following
meanings: “drug, poison, potion, charm, spell, enchantment." But the origin of
the word goes back much farther:
A Pharmakós (Greek: φαρμακός) in Ancient Greek religion was a kind of human
scapegoat (a slave, a cripple or a criminal) who was chosen and expelled from
the community at times of disaster (famine, invasion or plague) or at times of
calendrical crisis, when purification was needed. [Source: Wikipedia]
The sacrificial dimension of the Pharmakós carries on in the
nostrums and potions later named after this ritualistic object:
The term "pharmakos" later became the term "pharmakeus" which refers to "a drug,
spell-giving potion, druggist, poisoner, by extension a magician or a sorcerer."
A variation of this term is "pharmakon" (φάρμακον) a complex term meaning
sacrament, remedy, poison, talisman, cosmetic, perfume or intoxicant. From this,
the modern term "pharmacology" emerged.[Source: Wikipedia]
One no longer has to look to religion for the absolutist
claim to truth. Medical science has laid claim to the body in the same way that
religions once laid claim to the soul. The physician today -- albeit a glorified
"applied pharmacologist" -- has become the "priest of the body," capable of
influencing the course of life or death by the quality, or combinations, of
nostrums (s)he is able to apply to the problem (i.e. patient) at hand.
Just as monotheism depends on there being "one God," modern medical science
depends on the "evidence-based" concept that there is one truth, and one right
way to apply it. This, by implication, gives absolute power to those who would
claim to know the difference.
Liberation Through Natural Medicine
In Benjamin Rush’s time. the medical dictatorship of which he spoke had not yet
come to pass; and though magical potions like mercury and questionable
techniques like bloodletting were used in colonial times, herbs were still
considered and employed as legitimate medicines. Even if many wise women
herbalists were eliminated as competition by being branded witches and sometimes
murdered, the herbs themselves were not categorically demonized because no vast
armory of pharmaceutical drugs had yet been created to supplant them.
The herbs and foods themselves have now been both vilified as dangerous, and
lampooned as completely ineffectual, generating the ridiculous contradiction
that we are supposed to be dumb enough to accept as truth: namely, that they are
both impotent and unsafe.
Given these circumstances, confidence in the safety and efficacy of natural
substances in the prevention and treatment of disease has not only waned, but
the positive association between food and healing has been outright denied by
medical authorities. It is illegal for non-doctors to make health claims for
natural substances even if thousands of years of use in folk medicine and a vast
emerging body of scientific research now confirms their benefits. You can’t say
cherries cure gout even if it is true. (Truth is no longer the criteria that
decides what you can or cannot say; rather, it's who profits more from the
information being freely disseminated or censored).
I started the website
www.GreenMedInfo.com in August 2008 in order to
provide free and convenient access to the massive amounts of research that have
accumulated on the health benefits of natural substances over the past 50 years.
The government database known as Medline (which is freely searchable) contains
over 18 million biomedical citations from over 5,000 scientific journals, many
of which focus specifically on the therapeutic action of foods, vitamins and
spices on serious, even life-threatening disease.
I believe that it is only through the free, uncensored and democratic
dissemination of health information that we can secure our health freedom; and
through speaking truth to power, expose the fraud which is strictly
profit-driven pharmaceutical-based medicine.
Feel free to explore the 19000 + biomedical citations posted on
www.GreenMedInfo.com that vindicate the safety and efficacy
of natural substances in the prevention and treatment of disease.
