How Do Drugs Work???

[Guest guest]

I get to see many people every day I work. I am sitting in

one spot, and I observe the passers by. I note trends. The

flagstones on Square are uneven. When it rains, there are

spots with 2 " deep puddles. Entering the Square, one must either

walk down a short incline, or step off a 5 " step. All these are very

very obvious, if one actually looks. However, there are many people

seem not to be able to look where they are walking. They stumble.

They fall. I see at least 20 people a week not look where they are

walking. Sure, some are drunk, and some are busy looking at a

friend while walking. But many appear dysfunctional, frail, and

disconnected.

Many of the disconnected and dysfunctional folk are my age or

younger. Yet they act somewhat senile. Often they are accompanied by

children or adult children who treat the stumbling adult like a spacey

kid who does not pay attention. " Mother, there's a step here. Mother,

you are not looking. Stop! Oh, dear, you have fallen again.

Mother, will you look where you are going! "

I puzzled over this for years. I had some theories, but

nothing substantive. Then I was diagnosed with diabetes and told to

take glyburide. As I had a non-healing hole in my foot, I complied.

I knew that I needed to get my blood sugar under control ASAP so the

wound would heal. I suddenly discovered that I had become one of

those disconnected stumbling people. I became very frightened!

I felt very unsafe driving my car. I regularly bumped into

obstacles in my apartment which I had never bumped into before I was

on glyburide. I felt terrible. Very disconnected. It hurt

whenever I swallowed — food, water, even my own saliva. I knew the

glyburide was not good for me. I spoke to my doc about it, listing

the symptoms I was experiencing. The doc told me that those were not

reported symptoms of side effects. Did she write them down to report

them? No, she did not. So those symptoms are still " unreported " .

I got off the glyburide in about 6 months or so. All the

disconnectedness, the stomach pains, the inability to focus, the lack

of awareness I had experienced while on glyburide all went away.

Most of them were mainly gone in a day or two, the rest faded over a

week or so.

I now have much greater appreciation of the disconnectedness

and lack of awareness which so many others experience. They are

poisoned by their doctors. Allopathic drugs are poison. They body

diverts all resources to combating the poison. Not a lot of

resources left over for niceties like muscular coordination,

observational skills, etc.

=======================

DRUG THERAPY

If you have a headache, the doctor prescribes aspirin. The headache

disappears and everyone is happy. No one ever asked the question,

" What caused the headache? " . Based on the treatment prescribed and the

resultant " cure " , we can conclude that the headache was caused by an

" aspirin deficiency " . However, a little research will tell us that

aspirin is composed of salicylic acid - an absolute poison to the

body, thus an " aspirin deficiency " is out of the question. In fact,

any drug on the market, we will find, is composed of chemical toxins

which are poisonous to humans. How then can drugs alleviate symptoms,

cure ills, wipe out disease and generally make us feel better if they

are poisonous?

To understand how drugs " cure " symptoms, let us look a little deeper

into how aspirin takes away a pain. Did you know that aspirin will

relieve any pain in the body, whether it be a headache or a toe ache?

The only exception to this is stomach pain. Aspirin will not help

stomach pain. Ask the pharmacist how aspirin works, he will tell you

that it has some sort of numbing effect over the entire body, so

regardless of where the pain is, it is relieved. But isn't the stomach

part of the body? Why doesn't aspirin take care of stomach pain? He

will reply that this is one of the great mysteries of aspirin.

Let's say you are out on the farm hunting and you get a thorn in your

finger. It is quite sore, so you decide to head back to your truck to

get some tweezers to take care of the problem. As you pass through the

barn yard you step on a nail. Do you still feel the pain of the thorn

in your finger, in fact do you even remember it is there? Was it

suddenly cured when you stepped on the nail? No, not at all. Then why

is the thorn no longer a concern? Simply because your body now has a

higher priority - something more life threatening to worry about - the

nail in the foot.

Then as you are passing through the barbed wire fence to finally

reach your truck, you shoot your toe off with the shotgun (the other

foot of course). Are you now aware of the thorn? No. How about the

hole in your foot from the rusty nail. I don't think so. Why not? Once

again the body shifted its focus to the most life threatening

situation. There is only x amount of energy in the body. If we create

a crisis in one part of the body, energy must be " borrowed " from other

parts of the body to cope with the crisis.

Every aspirin (buffered or not) causes a teaspoon worth of bleeding

in the stomach. If you have a headache, which is generally caused by

toxic blood from something we've eaten which is harmful to us, and you

take an aspirin causing internal bleeding, which do you think would be

more life threatening? In most cases the internal bleeding. The body

must now shift its attention to the higher priority problem (stomach),

and the headache disappears. Did the aspirin remove the toxins from

the blood stream? Not at all, just created a more life threatening

situation.

If the aspirin does not take away the headache, it simply means that

the internal bleeding is not more life threatening than the toxic

blood. So now take six aspirin, and a more life theatening situation

will take place in the stomach and the headache dissipates.

Why doesn't aspirin take care of stomach pain? If you have stomach

pain then your body's attention is already focused on the stomach.

Additional stress there will not force the body to shift its attention

elsewhere in the body. Tylenol, however, will alleviate stomach pain

because it plays havoc with the liver, causing the body to move its

attention from stomach to liver. Thus all drugs produce symptomatic

relief without actually removing the cause.

A drug " cures " your complaint by creating a disease of its own. If

the poison of the drug, whatever drug you want to name, is more life

threatening to the body than the symptom for which you took the drug

(or the doctor's prescription for such), then your symptoms will

disappear. If the drug is not more life threatening, then it will not

produce symptomatic relief and the doctor will prescribe a stronger,

more poisonous, more life threatening drug. Now the body will be

forced to focus on the drug so that the drug literally doesn't kill

the body. You become symptom free. Yet the cause of the disease was

not eliminated, and true healing did not take place. Since there is no

such thing as a drug deficiency, the body simply put the disease

process on hold to eliminate the drug.

How many children do you know that take antibiotics for infections?

The antibiotic stops the symptoms. As soon as the antibiotic is

stopped, the infection returns. It is because the antibiotic does not

kill the infection, rather the antibiotic is so toxic to the liver and

rest of the body, that the body must wall off, or put on " hold " the

infective process to deal with the drug before it kills the body. Once

the drug is dealt with, the body will, as soon as it has built up

adequate nutrients and energies, resume the cleansing process via the

infection. If the taking of the antibiotic was so devitalizing to the

body, lowering its frequency, the infection may not return, only a

more serious chronic disease at a later date.

One of the great laws of nature is the law of cause and effect. We do

not gain anything without working for it. Diseases are not " caught " ,

they are earned by not taking care of our bodies. How then can we not

stop doing the wrong that made us sick, take a drug and get well? It

is the same as the drunk saying, " Sober me up with a pill, but let me

keep drinking " . Impossible to do. Disease is no exception.

When anesthetic is administered to knock one out for surgery, the

same principle applies. The anesthetic is so poisonous to the body,

that the body must put itself to sleep to free up the tremendous

amount of energy that is used for consciousness. This energy is then

utilized to eliminate the toxic anesthetic from the body before it

causes death.

Why do you think people are so sick and groggy after surgery. Why do

something like 2% of people who undergo surgery die from the

anesthetic if it weren't a poison? Different drugs rob energy from

different parts of the body, thus they have various effects or " cure "

different symptoms.

The bottom line is that they rob energy from the body, change the

body's priorities to focus on the drug - a more life threatening

situation - and the cause is not eliminated. We are actually still

sick, just as some must stay on drugs a lifetime to stay symptom free,

constantly increasing the dose as they become sicker and sicker.

Others are " cured " by the drug and can stop taking it, only to face

another more serious disease down the road.

If we would just listen to the body when we become ill, let the

illness tell us our symptoms are due to something wrong we are doing

(wrong diet or life style), stop doing it, then the illness as well as

the need for drugs would be eliminated and a more healthy life would

result.

Side-Effects

" Side-effects " which often result when drugs are administered are the

body's effort at eliminating the drug. Eg.: breaking out in a skin

rash - body pushing drug out through skin, getting drowsy - body

conserving conscious energy in order to stay alive while eliminating

the drug.

The Logic of Drug Therapy

Drug therapy defies all logic when we consider that any drug

administered to a healthy person will make him sick, and yet the

doctor prescibes these very poisons to a sick person and expects him

to get well. How can a body be poisoned back to health?

Alobar how true,

My mother was put on pills for high blood pressure. We later found

out she didn't even need them. She decided to stop eating all salt.

She got sicker and sicker, very depressed. Everyone thought it was

old age. No one realised what was happening. The pills were a

diuretic and so she was gradually losing all salt from her body. She

ended up in hospital totally crazy. It has taken a year or so and is

alot better but will never be quite right again. The doctor should

be struck off he has been so negligent in his care and advice. I

think he just gave her any pills to get rid of her The older

generation however still seem to put doctors on a pedestal and they

still go to this doctor believe it or not. Going on pills and not

taking care of diet and lifestyle is the problem in this society, and

doctors prescribing unneccessary drugs left right and centre.

Wouldn't it be great if all doctors were replaced with good qualified

nutritionists, but can the drug companies ever be defeated?

Alobar, has this hole been healed?

Yes, completely. I went to a physical therapist who cut away the

calous rim & kept the hole trimmed while it healed. The process took

about 4 months.

I am glad to hear it. I was just wondering as there is a new product

for this type of wound.
