JAMA Stats Tell the Tale (Journal of the American Medical Association)

Doctors kill more people than guns and traffic accidents

by Don Harkins

SANDPOINT -- Last St. 's Day, Sandpoint Chiropractor Blaze Welch

gave a lecture on how to get off of the disease scary-go-round at the

Gardenia Center here. The purpose of the talk, which was sponsored by the

North Idaho chapter of Vaccination Liberation, was to teach people that

they are responsible for their own health. Dr. Welch also discussed figures

from right out of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)

which prove, through accurate interpretations of their own words, that in

the last century we chose the wrong fork in the road with regard to our

health care paradigm.

Most people have been conditioned to believe in what is called the germ

theory of disease -- that germs cause disease. The truth is that germs

(bacteria) are everywhere and they are attracted to and proliferate in

diseased tissues.

Bacteria decompose dead matter. That is their job. For instance, when a

tree dies, bacteria come in and eat the tree and it eventually becomes soil.

Bacteria does not eat a live, healthy tree. The same thing is true in

people -- bacteria are attracted to dead matter. Therefore, if you have

dead matter in your body, bacteria will come in and get to work decomposing

the dead tissue so that it may eventually become soil.

In the mid 1800s, western medical science had the choice of going one of

two ways. Bechamp's theory of disease maintained that every living thing has

arisen from the microzyma (the fundamental unit of the corporate

organism ) and every living thing is reducible to the microzyma. Bechamp

believed that microzymas secrete fermentative substances that aid in

digestion in a healthy body and evolve into bacteria when they encounter

dead or damaged cells.

Pasteur's germ theory of disease maintained that diseases come into our

bodies and make germs that we must fight so that we may be rid of them. J.I.

Rodale explained Pasteur's germ theory of disease by stating that, " Germs

live in the air, and every once in a while get into a human body, multiply

and cause illness. Nothing to it at all. All you have to do is kill germs

and disease is licked. "

Bechamp's theory placed all of the responsibility of disease prevention

on the individual and his lifestyle. In a practical sense, there was no

money in that and people would be empowered with the ability to resist

disease by taking care of themselves.

Western medical science went with Pasteur's theory because it opened the

door which created the world's medical and pharmaceutical industries. Since

the 1850s, we have been developing new drugs to attack and kill the disease

invaders and the result has been epidemics of cancers and sicknesses and

diseases -- and a very rich and powerful pharmaceutical industry.

Last year, commented Dr. Welch, the pharmaceutical industry did $182

billion in drug sales world wide. In contrast to that figure, it cost

approximately $183 billion to treat adverse reactions from all of those

drugs, said Dr. Welch.

Dr. Welch read off some statistics which should cause concern to anybody

who sees an allopathic doctor, has medical insurance or may end up in the

hospital someday. Again, the following admissions were taken from JAMA:

The top five causes of death in the United States, in order, are:

1) Tobacco

2) Alcohol

3) Medical malpractice

4) Traffic accidents

5) Firearms

According to JAMA, doctors kill more people than auto accidents and guns.

With that in mind, one has to wonder why gun control is such a hot

legislative issue when, perhaps, we should be more concerned about doctor

control.

The number of people that doctors kill per day from medical malpractice

is roughly equal to the amount of people that would die if every day, three

jumbo jets crashed and killed everybody on board, commented Dr. Welch who

added, in defense of his own profession, just imagine what headlines would

result if a chiropractor or a naturopath accidentally killed just one

patient?

Another JAMA statistic stated that 20 percent of all people who see an

allopath will suffer an iatrogenic (doctor-induced) injury.

Again, according to JAMA, 16 percent of all people who die in the

hospital are determined by autopsy to have died of something other than

their admission diagnosis. In other words, the doctor had no idea what was

really wrong with the patient and, therefore, the patient may have died for

want of appropriate care that would have been subsequent to an accurate

diagnosis.

Another trade publication, American Medical News, stated that 28 percent

of people admitted to hospitals are there because they have suffered an

adverse reaction to prescribed drugs.

We are miserably losing the battle against viruses and bacteria.

Antibiotics do not work. We need to take a different tack because this is

obviously not working, said Dr. Welch.

Dr. Welch made numerous practical and logical observations throughout his

lecture. One of them is so obvious that it deserves mention here. When there

is an epidemic of, say, pertussis in a school and 14 of 200 kids get sick,

who gets studied? he asked.

The answer, of course, is that the sick kids get studied. They get

studied by the county health district and the health district accumulates

its data and then tells the newspapers about the epidemic of sickness and

everybody then flocks down to the health district or goes to see their

doctor to get vaccinated.

Would it not be more appropriate to study the 186 kids that did not get

sick? asked Dr. Welch.

Dr. Welch also read a quote from the British Medical Journal which states

that only one percent of all scientific research papers which explore

medicine are scientifically sound.

So, if that is true, then not only are allopathic doctors incorrect in

their understanding of the basic nature of disease, they are basing 99

percent of their conclusions, and therefore their diagnosis and treatment of

people, on flawed science.
