Artificial Healing and Cancer
The body is capable of Self-Healing and Self Rejuvenation. Is Artificial Healing the best healing available? Does it jeopardize the total health of a person?
Nobody can heal you. There is no healing force outside of the body (except supernaturally by God, of course) that can heal you. No doctors can heal you. No Human Medicine or drugs can heal you. No surgery or medical procedure can heal you.
If your doctors are genuine and sincere (that means bound by the Hippocratic Oath), they will tell you that they have no power to heal you. Only your body can heal itself. All the others can only do one thing - to try and aid your natural body to heal itself. Only nature can heal. A chemical drug does not heal anyone and never will. Your body is a very powerful creation of nature made by our Creator. It has the power to heal itself and to rejuvenate itself. It has been proven that within a period of less than two years, your whole body cells are totally replaced with new cells that are being created continuously. If you take care of your body system by feeding it with the proper nutrition as it should be, then the new cells created to replace the old ones will be stronger and healthier than the old cells. But if you carelessly follow the world's system of nutrition, eat what the rest of the world eats, breathe what they breathe, drink what they drink, believe what they believe, think what they think; then I am sorry to say that your destiny as a cancer patient is already decided - that is self-destruction and eventually death by cancer. Your cancer is not based on bad genes or bad luck. Your cancer is caused by your own responsibility when you did not take actions to get healthy and stay healthy. You alone are responsible to take action steps for your life, your health, your prosperity and your destiny. The direction that you are heading to is a result of the actions of your spiritual, mental, emotional and physical decisions.
Your body is created for self-healing not artificial healingYour body is not designed to be sick with cancer. It is a fact that people do get sick once in a while when there is no proper care for the physical body. That's why the body is created with a self-healing system (defense system, immune system, lymphatic system etc.) that has the automatic response to self-heal. This is natural healing and not artificial healing. If you cut yourself, the bleeding will stop because the blood contains genetic matter that causes the body to self-heal. This same self-healing mechanism has been passed down from generation to generation since the beginning of mankind. This mechanism gives you the ability to heal yourself of almost every physical problem. You are indeed fearfully and wonderfully made. You will find my article on Natural Healing Here.
What is Artificial healing?On the other hand, artificial healing (or medical healing) is just the opposite of Natural Healing. Artificial healing is healing that is totally dependent on Human Medicine (or drugs) and Machines to sustain your healing and health. Artificial healing is NOT the Best, and truly not how you are supposed to live from the time you were born. Artificial healing will lead to artificial health. Nonetheless, I realize that in special circumstances, machines used in artificial healing have been utilized in sustaining life such as the mechanical ventilator or defibrillator. But in general, artificial healing using medicine, drugs and machines do not heal you. What the doctor will tell you is that the medicine (artificial healing) is trying to destroy the pathogens and harmful micro-organisms such as bacteria and viruses, so that the body's own system can take over the healing from the disease. This is what they are trying to do when they prescribe strong antibiotics for ingestion to overcome infections. In the process to heal the infection by using antibiotics to destroy the harmful invasion of micro-organisms, many of the good cells are also destroyed in the process. Artificial healing can damage the good organs too. The body then struggle to fight back for its own survival, by reproducing more good cells again as soon as possible. They are doing the same thing with chemotherapy drugs. To contain the growth of cancer cells, the chemo drugs destroy growing cells in its path. People don't die from cancer. They die from the conventional treatment of cancer. Chemotherapy (part of artificial healing) is a barbaric cancer treatment. Statistically, the medical faculty has a long term curing rate of 3% and even then this is based on the survival period of 5 years. Based on the statistics of Dr. Leonard Coldwell (expert on cancer and stress related illnesses - Formerly general physician, NMD, PhD, CNHP), over 27% of all cancer patients get well again without doing anything at all. The Bad Nenndorf Medical Research Institute of Germany researched and published a high cure rate of 93.2% for all cancer treatment of patients in Europe by Dr. Leonard! And Dr. Leonard practices Natural Healing of Cancer. Many other Natural Health Practitioners acknowledges more than 90% of total healing of Cancer based on Natural Healing not artificial healing. This also accounts for the fact that the people remain healed for life, as they continue to adhere to the healthy lifestyle that they had begun since they started their natural healing of cancer.
Too much medicineArtificial healing is all about medicine. The present scenario of society view towards medicine is depressing. Communities have been too dependent on medicine for survival, that the body's natural healing properties had taken a back seat. In artificial healing many pharmaceutical drugs have been promoted as the answer to man's illnesses. In our so-called advanced society, sicknesses and degenerative diseases like cancer are supposed to have been eradicated but the results showed otherwise. In fact, the growth of cancer had been exponential! Ivan Illich, an Austrian philosopher who wrote in his Medical Nemesis in 1975 attacked contemporary western medicine (artificial healing) by saying that "medicalization had frequently caused more harm than good and rendered many people in effect lifelong patients." He marshaled a body of statistics to show the shocking extent of post-operative side effects and drug induced illness in advanced industrial society. Ivan is proclaiming that "(artificial healing) medicine had produced more harm than good." The quiet submission of the general populace towards medicine seems to place the "pill" as a mini-god. There is now a pill for every sickness on planet Earth. The lackadaisical attitude and the laziness of people to take responsibility for their own health had "trained" many to allow huge drug conglomerates to dictate the direction of Health policies. People had been conditioned to let others take care of their own healing rather than to do it themselves. There is a careless mindset of most to learn and to find their own natural healing. And that is why cancer patients do not question or doubt their oncologists when they insist on radiation, chemotherapy and surgery (artificial healing) as the only form of treatment. In a 1992 survey of the US Health Care Industry, a national database found a total of 429,827 errors from 1,081 hospitals. In 1974, there were 2.4 million unnecessary surgeries performed in the US that resulted in 11,900 deaths. In 2001, there were 7.5 million unnecessary surgeries performed that resulted in 37,136 deaths! In Britain, medical error (the practice of artificial healing) is the 3rd most frequent cause of death after cancer and heart disease, killing up to 40,000 people a year.
Even in China, bad medicine has been claiming innocent lives. The Beijing Morning Post, September 28, 2000, reports that the China Consumers Association issued a formal warning to urge the people to pay close attention to the medicine that they take. It is estimated that almost 200,000 people die every year in China from taking old, fake or inappropriate medicine. Further to that 60 - 80% of China's 10 million deaf-mute cases are related to the use of inappropriate medicine. Many Chinese (and most other nationalities as well), assume that expensive oral remedies, that rarely have details of their contents or side effects listed, are safe and effective cures for all kinds of common sicknesses.
The Drug Lords of Artificial HealingThe Nursing Online Education Database published a list of 25 shocking facts about the Pharmaceutical Industry which is a wake-up call to the public. From what is researched, they found that the Drug Industry of US is exploiting billions of dollars from fraud to false PR campaigns in the hunt for greater profits instead of patient care. A summary of the facts is as follows: -
The price of drugs is increasing faster than anything else a patient pays for: Marcia Angell writes in her book The Truth About Drug Companies that "drugs are the fastest-growing part of the health care bill which itself is rising at an alarming rate." Dr. Angell argues that patients are spending more on drugs simply because they are being prescribed more drugs than ever before and that "those drugs are more likely to be expensive new ones instead of older, cheaper ones, and that the prices of the most heavily prescribed drugs are routinely jacked up, sometimes several times a year." -
Your health care provider may have an ulterior motive behind your prescription: In 2007, the St. Petersburg Times reported that drug reps often give gifts to convince medical professionals to prescribe the medications that they represent. Interaction with drug reps is not in the best interests of patients. Even though many doctors may believe solicitation from drug reps is unethical or at the very least impractical gifts like free meals, pens, posters, books, and free samples are offered to physicians in an effort to influence their prescription practices. -
Pharmaceutical companies spend more on marketing than research: According to Science Daily, a "new study by two York University researchers estimates the U.S. pharmaceutical industry spends almost twice as much on promotion as it does on research and development." Pharmaceutical companies' claims that Americans pay such high prices for prescription medications because they're really paying for research and development costs, which is not true. The study also "supports the position that the U.S. pharmaceutical industry is marketing-driven and challenges the perception of a research-driven, life-saving, pharmaceutical industry" that values the lives of its patients, rather than their spending habits. -
Brand name meds often have a 1,000% mark-up price: Many Americans are aware that brand name prescriptions cost more than generic meds, and that part of the reason for the higher prices is because they've been hiked up by the pharmaceutical companies themselves and aren't necessarily a direct result of expensive new ingredients. This study, however, reveals that some meds can have a mark-up of 1,000%. -
Popular meds are referred to as "blockbuster" drugs: The new presence of blockbuster drugs is a testament to how the pharmaceutical company's marketing tactics and price hikes are getting out of control. -
Vioxx advertising reaches new heights: To give consumers more perspective on how prescription drug advertising has reached new heights, the AARP Bulletin reports that pharmaceutical giant "Merck spent more advertising Vioxx, according to NIHCM, than the $125 million spent promoting Pepsi or the $146 million spent on Budweiser beer ads. -
Drug reps often have no medical or science education: Is it safe for physicians to assume that the professionals they meet with to discuss new medications and prescription recommendations for their patients actually have backgrounds in medicine or science? -
Companies fear precedent as they cut AIDS drug prices for Africa. They are more concern about profits coming from patents instead of ending the epidemic. The debate surrounding intellectual property and the private sector vs. patient rights and affordable health care is magnified on a much larger, more global scale in this situation. -
Doctors can choose to reveal or keep private their prescription records: Drug reps often research doctors' prescription records before meeting with them and attempting to convince them to recommend certain drugs. By understanding a physician's history with a given drug, the drug rep is more likely to influence caregivers and sell more medicines. -
Good PR trumps patient care: When Merck & Co. found out that one of their products, Vioxx, can increase the risk of heart attacks in its patients, it allegedly "played down" the evidence. Cleveland Clinic cardiologist Dr. Eric Topol accused Merck of "scientific misconduct," and two days later, Dr. Topol was kicked off the board of governors at the Cleveland Clinic. -
Toxins found in drugs exported from China: A top story in the spring of 2007 centered around Zheng Xiaoyu, a Chinese drug czar who was sentenced to death "after admitting that he took bribes while running the country's Food & Drug Administration between 1998 and 2005," when he served as commissioner. -
Abbott Laboratories charged Medi-Cal nearly $10 for saline solution : This list has already mentioned some of the extreme mark-ups for prescription medications, but Abbott Laboratories' fraudulent behavior towards California's state Medicaid program actually ended up in court. The state attorney general "sued 39 drug companies...accusing them of bilking the state of hundreds of millions of dollars by overcharging for medicines," reports The New York Times. -
Guilty of Medicare fraud: Pharmaceutical companies are also being tried in federal courts as an answer to their exploitation of Medicare. AstraZeneca Inc. had to pay $280 million in civil penalties and $63 million in criminal penalties to the federal government after the company "paid kickbacks to health care providers and coached them to cheat Medicare to promote a prostate cancer drug." -
Some generic brands are becoming more popular: Patients are starting to use generic medications and buy prescriptions from discount stores like Wal-Mart to alleviate the financial burden of brand name drugs. -
Combined wealth of top 5 pharmaceutical companies outweighs GNP of sub-Saharan Africa.: Corporate Watch shows the public just how much wealth big pharmaceutical companies have, even on a global scale. Their report references The Guardian, which found that "the combined worth of the world’s top five drug companies is twice the combined GNP of all sub-Saharan Africa and their influence on the rules of world trade is many times stronger because they can bring their wealth to bear directly on the levers of western power." -
Dr. Robert Jarvik isn't a licensed doctor: Many Americans watched as Dr. Robert Jarvik, inventor of the artificial heart, gently coaxed them to take the Pfizer-marketed drug Lipitor in order to lower their cholesterol. The ads were eventually pulled, however, when "it turned out Jarvik isn’t a licensed heart doctor." U.S. Representative John Dingell remarked, "It seems that Pfizer’s No. 1 priority is to sell lots of Lipitor, by whatever means necessary, including misleading the American people." -
Ernesto Bertarelli makes Forbes' billionaires list: Bertarelli is the CEO of the pharmaceutical company Serono, and Forbes reports that his net worth in 2002 reached $8.4 billion. That was enough to place him as the 31st richest person in the world. -
Pfizer is fifth-best wealth creator: Corporate Watch reports that Fortune named pharmaceutical giant Pfizer as the "fifth-best wealth-creator" in America, and Corporate Watch considers it the "largest and richest pharmaceutical enterprise in the world." -
Americans pay more for prescription meds than anyone else in the world: The Media Matters website analyzes a 60 Minutes interview between correspondent Bob Simon and then Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona. During the segment, Carmona maintains that Americans pay more for brand name prescriptions than anyone else in the world because of the hefty price associated with "the research and development of drugs." See point number 3 on this list, which points out that drug companies pay more on advertising and marketing than they do on research and development. -
Pharmaceutical advertisements actually work: Prescription-drug advertising has driven a third of Americans to talk to a medical professional about specific drugs, and many of these people got a prescription from their health care provider as a result. -
Americans spent $200 billion on prescription drugs in 2002: Marcia Angell reveals in her book The Truth About the Drug Companies that Americans spent $200 billion on prescription drugs in 2002. That's the amount medical experts estimated it will cost to rebuild New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, and the amount China is pouring into an energy renewal program. -
Academics help pharmaceutical companies conduct research: A new trend in the R&D sector of the pharmaceutical industry features research-based partnerships between academic centers and drug companies. As academic centers play a more significant role in the success of the drug companies, they are more likely to take on the "entrepreneur" spirit and make profits from patents, royalties and stocks, which can mark up the prices for everyday consumers. -
"New" Drugs aren't really new: When a new drug hits the market, is it really new? Euractiv.com reports on a recent study which found "that two-thirds of the prescription drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration between 1989 and 2000 were identical to existing drugs or modified versions of them. Only about one-third of the drugs approved by the FDA during the time period were based on new "molecular entities" that treat diseases in novel ways." Many of these newer drugs cost more because the drug companies have to extend their patents, which can "enable a brand company to delay generic competitors and maintain a high price for an aging product." -
Some drug companies are taking advantage of underdeveloped countries to perform clinical trials: Wired.com reports that India is becoming a more attractive place for drug companies to run clinical trials and test out new drugs. The article explains, "more and more drug companies are conducting clinical trials in developing countries where government oversight is more lax and research can be done for a fraction of the cost." Such practices may be unfair, as "individuals who participate in Indian clinical trials usually won't be educated. Offering $100 [as payment for their participation] may be undue enticement; they may not even realize that they are being coerced." -
Pharmaceutical Companies donated millions to Hurricane Katrina relief programs: It may come as a shock, to discover the philanthropic efforts undertaken by big drug companies. Medical News Today writes that companies like Abbott, Eli Lilly, Merck, Pfizer and others have donated millions of dollars in cash and supplies to the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.
Side effects of synthetic medicine/drugs in artificial healingAll medicine under artificial healing has side effects. Some of them are immediate and some are late effects. Sometimes, the body will eliminate most of the remnants of the toxic medicine, but the amount that remains can cause other complications. Some side effects of common medicine in artificial healing are: | DRUG | WHAT IT DOES | SIDE EFFECTS | | Accutane | Remove zits and relieves symptoms of severe acne | Frail, brittle bones and a possible case of depression. | | Cardizem | Improves blood flow thereby easing migraine pain | Hands and feet may swell. Drug can cause minor headaches | | Nexium | Lessens painful stomach conditions, such as ulcers and acid-reflux problems | May cause diarrhea, nausea, and flatulence. | | Paxil | Treats depression, anxiety and mental illness | Easily irritated and may cause insomnia, shakes, constipation, and dry mouth. | | Ritalin | Improves attention span and ability to concentrate | May trigger Tourette's syndrome. | | Rogaine | Fights baldness by promoting growth of new hair follicles | Can cause hands, feet and face to swell. | | Viagra | Treats erectile problems | Cause headaches, temporary color blindness, and blurred vision. | There are many other side effects of artificial healing and a Googling of dangers of some common medicine such as paracetamol or aspirin may shock you!
Why then are drugs still in use? Simple, because the doctors want to give them and the patients want them. Artificial healing is in demand. People are creatures of habit and medical tradition shows that both the giving hand and the receiving hand benefits from drugs. The doctors and the drug companies benefit because they profit from artificial healing. The patients "benefit" because they want a "miracle pill" that can remove the disease easily without interfering with their lifestyle (which is the cause of the disease in the first place). They choose artificial healing over natural healing. Some patients accept the risks and the side effects because it is hard to face the reality of repenting from a destructive lifestyle. Artificial healing is the broad road everybody walks. Natural healing is the narrow road that people do not know of or even if they know may not want to change direction. They placed the responsibility for their own healing and health on the doctor, and so the doctor has to do something to produce a cure. Nutrition therapy and natural therapy are never taught in medical schools, and nutrition as a topic is only taught briefly in one of the sessions. Being trained in a medical background of drugs and surgery (artificial healing), guess what else can the doctor recommend to a cancer patient? Drugs and surgery, of course!
If you have to have medication (artificial healing), what should you do? Here is some advice: -
Ask the doctor to explain the risks and side effects of the medicine that you are taking. Then ask him or her to justify as to why you should allow your body to take those risks. -
Ask for the absolute minimum dosage of medicine possible and when is the earliest time you can stop taking them. -
Get back to the doctor immediately if there are any negative effects of the medication. -
Ask for an alternative therapy instead of a drug if your doctor is open to nutritional and natural therapy. Some doctors are willing to help patients who want to avoid medicine.
If you are already taking medication (artificial healing), what should you do? Here is some advice: -
If you are taking symptomatic medicine, that deals only to suppress symptoms, you can stop immediately. If you are taking essential medicine, which addresses chronic sicknesses, you cannot stop suddenly, but need the advice of the physician who prescribed it. -
Inform the doctor that you are interested to gradually reduce the amount of medicine you have to take. Your intention is to stop medication eventually. -
Go back to the same doctor who prescribe the medicine, and ask him for a time schedule on how to gradually reduce your drug dependency. -
If your doctor is willing to monitor your progress without medication, then let him or her do it. Even if the same doctor does not want to do this, find one who is willing to monitor you. This will provide you with documented proof that you are succeeding in your eradication of sickness without medicine.
With proper nutrition and healthy habits for living, you will enjoy good health. There is no need for medicine or drugs or artificial healing.
Artificial healing versus Natural healingArtificial healing industry is a very big business. In 1980, US people spent over $100 billion a year for medicine and health care. In 2008, they spend over $2 trillion dollars a year, and yet society is still less healthy than before. This amount is increasing year by year and the health care of the patient seems to be far from the minds of the policy makers. All the amount of public money spent for artificial healing is not bearing any good result. The best lesson for healing is to learn it from Nature. You cannot fool your body and you cannot go against nature. Just because your health is acceptable for the moment does not mean that you do not need to take care of your body with good nutrition and exercises. The body is always talking to you when something is not right. Pain is one way of telling you to change what you are doing before it is too late. Many people are driving their bodies to the ground without paying any attention to the warning signs of pain and discomfort. To have a pain and to take a pain killer to relieve the pain, is suppressing the symptom but not dealing with the cause. Aspirin, Tylenol, Paracetamol and others are not treating the source of the reason for the pain. No doubt in artificial healing, medicine can stop running noses, stops cough, dry off diarrhea, lower fever, reduce rash itchiness, stops sneezing, and neutralize stomach-aches but are you certain that your body is healing and improving just because the symptoms are covered? Natural Healing can also eliminate symptoms by a total external and internal cleansing of the body. In natural healing, all the symptoms and expressions of the body to eliminate toxins are encouraged. Fevers are not suppressed but allowed to run its course under constant monitoring. Diarrhea is nature's way of performing an enema which is an important part of bowel cleansing. Sneezing and coughing are the body's reflex action to foreign matter or irritation. These are encouraged even though they are not convenient. A running nose is the body's way of getting rid of wastes. Since natural healing allows all these symptoms to run their course, it may not be as comfortable as artificial healing (use of medicine or machines) but it is more thorough and your good health lasts longer. In natural healing you do not take medicine, pain killers or over the counter drugs unless your doctor prescribed it as an immediate life and death situation. Your body is an intelligent, complicated, complete, powerful, and self-built living organism that will seek for its best healing automatically. You body is fully capable of healing itself and rejuvenating itself. This is subjected to the situation where the body had not been damaged beyond repair. This is the basic of natural healing. Artificial healing treats your body as a victim of harmful germs, bacteria and viruses, and that if no medicine or drug is pumped into your system, then your body cannot heal itself. This is not true because the tendency of your body is automatically towards health. The last thing the body needs is more chemicals for the body to deal with as it is going through a process to heal itself. You may question that if the body can heal itself, why are there so many sick and diseased people like cancer patients? The answer is simple. The basic causes of poor health and cancer is a result of two factors: -
Toxemia. This is the accumulation of toxins and metabolic wastes in your body. -
Nutritional deficiencies. Due to the consumption of non-vitalized and poisoned food such as sugar, salt, white rice, white flour products, MSG, nitrites and other processed canned foods. Toxemia means your body is polluted. The origin of cancer is caused by the accumulation of wastes, chemicals and poisons in your body. These are garbage built-up and the symptoms are telling you that your body is trying to get rid of the garbage or trying to cope with the weakened condition. The external toxins come from polluted air, impure water, highly processed, poisoned foods, and a toxic environment. The internal toxins come from those generated within your body. Wrong nutrition like the consumption of excess meat and chemically laced foods causes the slow elimination of toxic wastes. These poorly digested and poisoned foods pass through the digestive system and cause fermentation and putrefaction, which in turn, produce toxins that are re-absorbed back into the blood stream through the walls of the intestines. Over a period of time, the toxins accumulate inside your body and your various systems begin to break down. Your natural defense system and immune system becomes weakened and the body becomes incapable of healing itself. This is called body degeneration or Cancer. What does artificial healing do? Artificial healing does nothing to remove the toxins from your body system, but instead adds more to the toxic environment. Artificial healing does nothing to solve the problem of nutritional deficiencies leading to cell destruction. In artificial healing, only the symptoms are removed but the cause is not removed. What does natural healing do? Natural healing removes the cause of cancer by removing the toxins found in the body. It does not remove and suppress the symptoms immediately, and often the healing reactions from natural healing can be mistaken as a worsening of the disease. But after the period of toxin removal, natural healing builds and rejuvenates the body for the rest of your life. Someone shout "hallelujah"! For that reason, this website deals with the Natural Process of Cancer Treatment, and the flow chart for natural healing is found on the homepage. Natural healing protocols assist the body to heal itself in removing the toxins, cleansing itself and rebuilding it to its optimum condition. In artificial healing, you are considered healed if the symptoms are gone. In artificial healing, you are deluding yourself. In natural healing, you are healed only if the source of the disease is gone, and together with that the symptoms go away also. This is true healing.
We are now in a threshold of a new medical information age. Gone are the days where medical information is only found within the confines of the university walls and the research papers of a selected few. The widely availability of medical information and the powerful success stories and cure rates of Natural Healing will change the landscape of medicine (artificial healing). Many people have already tried conventional cancer treatment (artificial healing) and found them ineffective. They used to have no other choice except the oncologist advice of radiation therapy, chemotherapy and surgery (artificial healing). Today they have many choices. There are over 100 methods of Natural Healing therapies available and most of them are reasonably available to a cancer patient seeking treatment. Health care will change and for the better. | "We have a multi-billion dollar industry that is killing people, right and left, just for financial gain. Their idea of research is to see whether two doses of this poison is better than three doses of that poison." Glen Warner, M.D. oncologist. |
| "My studies have proved conclusively that untreated cancer victims live up to four times longer than treated individuals. If one has cancer and opts to do nothing at all, he will live longer and feel better than if he undergoes radiation, chemotherapy or surgery." Professor Hardin Jones, University of California, Berkeley |
| "Most cancer patients in this country die of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy does not eliminate breast, colon or lung cancers. The fact has been documented for over a decade, yet doctors still use chemotherapy for these tumors." Dr. Allen Levin of the University of California |
