How Modern Medicine Killed My Brother**********

[Guest guest]

Dr. Blaylock is a board-certified neurosurgeon and author of the highly

recommended books, Health and Nutrition Secrets That Can Save Your Life and

Natural Strategies for Cancer Patients.

By L. Blaylock, M.D.

Earlier this month, I traveled to Monroe, La., to bury my dear older brother,

. was not only a wonderful brother, but he was a man with a heart

of gold who always put the needs of others and his family before his own.

, unfortunately, began smoking when he was in law school, something I

warned him about repeatedly.

Approximately four months ago, I noticed that he was getting horse. He brushed

it off and continued his hectic schedule. When I again visited him a month

later, he was still having the hoarseness. I advised him to see someone about

it. He took my advice and saw a local physician group. The doctor was actually

too busy to see him and had his nurse see him.

Before he went to the doctor, I told him it was critical that he have the doctor

examine his vocal cords. The nurse looked in his throat, but wasn't trained to

examine his vocal cords.

Two more weeks passed during which his doctors assured him that it was nothing

more than bronchitis. They treated him with steroids and antibiotics, but no one

examined his vocal cords.

Misdiagnosis After Misdiagnosis

I pleaded with him to see an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor, but he trusted his

doctor. For the next two and a half months, he was treated with steroids and

antibiotics. Finally, he developed pneumonia and was admitted to the hospital,

what was supposed to be one of the best hospitals in the area.

At the time, I was on vacation in North Carolina. He told me the doctors told

him he had a bruit in his carotid artery, a sign of atherosclerosis, and that

they wanted to do an arteriogram. I advised him against it, suspecting he, in

fact, had a cancer and attempting an arteriogram on someone with such poor

pulmonary function would be disastrous. The arteriogram was cancelled. Still, no

one had examined his vocal cords.

When I arrived, I called a friend of mine I had gone to medical school with, and

asked him to see . Prior to this, I asked the doctor in charge of his

respiratory care to add vitamins and magnesium to his IV. While he promised he

would, he didn't. Every attempt to get ' laboratory studies was met with

obstruction based on the Patient Privacy Act. He soon signed the necessary forms

and finally I was able to see this closely guarded data.

When I asked his doctor why the magnesium had not been added to his IV, word was

sent back to me through the nurse that she had never heard of using magnesium. I

sent copies of selected articles showing the immense value of magnesium on

pulmonary and cardiovascular function. Still there was no response from the

doctor. Not once did this doctor call me, or answer my pages.

Finally, The Diagnosis is Made

My ENT friend did a very good workup and discovered had a large cancer

in his left lower lung that was impinging on the nerve to his vocal cord,

causing one cord to be completely paralyzed. At that point, a pulmonary

physician did a bronchial biopsy and diagnosed a poorly differentiated lung

cancer, with no evidence of spread. Once the diagnosis was made, an oncologist

was naturally called, who wanted to start a complete course of chemotherapy

drugs.

I advised my brother against it, knowing the cancer would not respond and the

toxic drugs would dramatically increase his breathing difficulties, hastening

his death. He took my advice. Then, a radiation oncologist suggested radiating

the tumor to shrink it. I wasn't supportive of this treatment, but my brother

wanted something done.

Soon afterward, he started five and a half weeks of radiation treatment. At that

point, I started him on a nutrition program and he began to feel better, his

breathing improved and he was able to go back to work.

However, the oncologist told he was losing too much weight and he needed

to eat more bread, pasta and even sweets to gain weight. , at the time of

his diagnosis, was grossly overweight and needed to lose the weight. I told him

that losing the weight would make it easier for him to breath. I had given him a

copy of my book on the nutritional treatment of cancer and told him it was

critical he follow the advice exactly.

Unfortunately, decided he didn't like the taste of the blenderized

vegetables and would do what the oncologist suggested. He began to eat ice

cream, cookies and other items that cancer patients should never eat. Once he

finished the radiation treatments, he developed fever, severe shortness of

breath and had to be admitted to the hospital.

The " Evidence Based " Physicians Take Over

Sadly, he chose a hospital that was even more rigid in its control of the

patient than his previous hospital. It was a local hospital affiliated with the

Louisiana State University Medical Center. was admitted to the intensive

care unit, where he had to be intubated and placed on a respirator.

Again, I was out of town, in fact, giving a talk at the Westin Price Conference

in Washington on nutrition. As before, I could not pry any information about my

brother concerning his laboratory test, chest x-rays or the reason he was

deteriorating so rapidly. His doctor refused to call me, despite numerous

attempts by my sister and me to have her call.

In all my 26 years of neurosurgical practice, I have never seen a situation

where a doctor treating a gravely ill patient would not discuss the case with a

family member who is a physician. It was as if my brother belonged to the

hospital and his physician and the family was to be kept in the dark.

Finally, I was able to speak to one of the consulting doctors, who told me my

brother had a very low hemoglobin count. I asked him if he was giving him blood.

After a long pause, he answered, " No. " I responded, " Well, with him unable to

breath, don't you think it would be a good idea to increase his oxygen-carrying

capacity by giving him blood? " He mumbled in agreement. I told him that I wanted

my sister and her son to give the blood and that they were in the process of

doing that as we spoke. He agreed. Yet, before my sister could have the blood

transferred to , the doctors had already given him blood from unknown

donors.

I rushed to my brother's side and found him awake, on a respirator and very

frightened. He was receiving no magnesium in his IV and was getting a tube

feeding-formula that contains significant doses of glutamate, something known to

cause pulmonary deterioration. Again, his doctor never heard of that.

An Incredible Admission

At that point, was lapsing into a coma. Still his doctor had not

contacted me or communicated with me in any way. Disgusted, I told the nurse to

have her come to the room and I didn't want any excuses. I asked to speak to her

in private. She insisted a nurse remain with her. I told her of my absolute

amazement that a treating physician would not speak to the family, especially

when one of the family members was a doctor. She denied she had ever gotten a

message, which was a bold-faced lie.

I then told her that I wanted my brother to have certain supplements that had

been shown in careful medical studies to improve lung function. She had never

heard of them, but agreed to give them if her superior, the Chief of Medicine,

agreed. Therefore, I gave her a stack of medical abstracts and told her to let

me know if there was a problem.

Within five minutes, she returned and stated that he would not agree to it and

responded that the Chief of Medicine told her that he would not agree to change

the treatment based on abstracts. I told her I wanted to talk with him that

minute.

He arrived, looking very arrogant and self-important. I decided that I would try

to calmly discuss with him my brother's case and why he needed the supplements.

Again, I asked for a private meeting. He wanted ' doctor to be present.

I explained to him what I was asking for was backed up by peered-reviewed

studies and that none of the supplements had ever shown any harmful side effects

in any dose. In a very arrogant tone, totally unsympathetic to my concern for my

brother, he stated that he only read and trusted four journals:

.. Lancet

.. New England Journal of Medicine

.. ls of Internal Medicine

.. Journal of the American Medical Association

Shocked that anyone would admit to being so intellectually limited, I told him

there were thousands of peer-reviewed medical journals, most of which were

reputable. He responded that he didn't have time to read or look up additional

material.

What an admission!

I reminded him I practiced neurosurgery for 26 years and was a hell of a lot

busier than he had ever been. I also told him I had managed to write three books

and 30 articles for peer-reviewed journals in addition to three chapters for

medical textbooks. He had no comment.I told him I found it inconceivable that a

physician holding the position of Chief of Staff in a teaching hospital would:

1. Admit they read only four journals

2. Didn't have time to research material that would improve a patient's care

3. Would be so obstinate and filled with so much self-importance they would

allow a

patient to die rather than try something that had strong clinical evidence

of benefit

without any complications

The doctor still refused to change his mind.

I pointed out to him, for 20 years there was a mountain of evidence that

magnesium offered tremendous protection to the heart and brain, but because of

people like him, it was only recently that magnesium has been added to the

" protocol " for heart patients. I, then, reminded both of them that tens of

thousands of patients died during that 20-year period because of their

unwillingness to use a harmless mineral like magnesium. Then I said, " Is my

brother to die because of your narrow mindedness and arrogance " ?

I pointedly asked him if he could see the logic, the reasoning behind what I was

asking. He responded that he did up until to the point about all the people that

must die because of waiting for the elite of medicine to make up their mind. I

turned to the female physician and asked her the same question. She said she

agreed with the logic but trusted her chief.

Blind Leading the Blind

I asked the Chief of Medicine if he would want the same treatment for his

brother. He thought a minute and then said, " Yes. " He again, appealed to the

fact that he didn't have time to research all these things. I reminded him that

his job was to do whatever was necessary to provide his patients with the best

medical care, based on the latest medical evidence available no matter how much

time he had to sacrifice. He could not fall back on time constraints or the fact

that he trusted only four journals.

The Chief of Medicine left, a lot less openly arrogant and self-assured. He was

not able to give a single argument to support his intellectually bankrupt

concept of medicine.

It reminded me of the title of a book I had recently purchased: Intellectual

Morons. He certainly fit the description. Before he left, I reminded him it was

doctors like him who were the problem in modern medicine -- arrogant,

condescending to patients and certain the medical care protocols established by

the elitist academians were holy writ. Further, it was because of such an

attitude that patients by the millions were leaving the medical care system, and

seeking answers from so-called alternative medicine.

Patients were fed up with having drugs and treatments shoved down their throats

that only led to more misery and rarely helped their disease.

The Danger of Regimentation

The practice of medicine has changed drastically in the world, especially in

this country. When I first entered the world of medicine, doctors were able to

practice independently, always maintaining a close relationship between

themselves, the patient and the patient's family. Creative, caring doctors could

alter their care to match new developments in medicine and nutrition to the

greatest benefit of their patients. Third parties such as insurance companies,

government and medical elite were held at bay.

Yet, the new thinking is that the practicing physician, and especially the

patient, is unable to make these decisions. Instead, they are to follow a system

of regimented medicine that assigns treatment protocols the physician is to

blindly follow.

Elite boards appointed by medical associations, such as the American Medical

Association, American Academy of Family Practice and others, design these

treatment protocols and hand them down to the " ignorant automatons " making up

the vast majority of treating physicians. They are to follow these regimented

treatments without question and to the letter.

The new breed of doctor, like my brother's doctors, fits this new pattern well.

They are convinced this " cookbook " medicine is superior and their elite journals

and medical associations know best. Like members of the society Aldous Huxley

described in A Brave New World, they are mere cogs in the wheel of the state's

machinery. They do not question the authorities or the wisdom of their decrees.

They do what they are told. They are unable to think for themselves.In fact, I

asked ' doctor, " Can you not think for yourself? " She looked at me

sheepishly and said, " I just trust the Chief of Medicine. "

I also reminded the arrogant Chief of Medicine these elite decision-making

bodies have been racked with scandals that involved financial connections to

pharmaceutical companies and other medical product manufacturers. In addition,

similar scandals occurred among the editorial staff of one of his favorite

journals, the New England Journal of Medicine.This collectivist regimentation of

medicine will only get worse. Families are now excluded from medical care

decisions, doctors do not talk to families, the entire hospital experience is

shrouded in secrecy and patients have no say in their care. While more

innovative doctors can alter the protocols or even reject them, soon they will

not have that option. To deviate from the collectivist plan is to invite the

wrath of the legal system.

Fear of Financial Ruin

Litigation pushes many physicians into following elitist protocols out of fear

of financial ruin. In fact, these protocols have become the " standard of care "

used by the legal system. Unfortunately, doctors, like those who killed my

brother, are being turned out of medical schools all over the country like

robots. They repeat the mantra of collectivism as if they thought of it

themselves. To this new breed of doctors, individualism and independent thought

is to be discouraged and reviled. Dependence on elite leaders will be automatic.

As an example, I recently spoke to a large group concerning the harmful effects

of glutamate, explaining it is now known that glutamate, as added to foods,

significantly accelerates the growth and spread of cancers. I asked the crowd

when was the last time an oncologist told his or her patient to avoid MSG or

foods high in glutamate. The answer, I said, was never.After the talk, a crowd

gathered to ask more questions. Suddenly, I was interrupted by a young woman who

identified herself as a radiation oncologist. She angrily stated, " I really took

offense to your comment about oncologists not telling their patients about

glutamate. " I turned to her and asked, " Well, do you tell your patients to avoid

glutamate? " She looked puzzled and said, " No one told us to. " I asked her who

this person or persons were whose job it was to provide her with this

information. I, then, reminded her that I obtained this information from her

oncology journals. Did she not read her own journals?

Yet, this is the attitude of the modern doctor. An elitist group is in charge of

disseminating all the information physicians are to know. If they do not tell

them, then, in their way of thinking, the information was of no value. Of

course, 10 or 20 years from now, it may be the new standard and on all the

protocols.How many cancer patients will have died during the long wait for the

elitists to conclude the information was important? A million? Five million? Do

they even care?In my conversation with the two physicians responsible for my

brother's " care, " they obviously didn't care.It is too late for my brother. But,

maybe, just maybe, if enough people decide they do not care to leave their fate

and that of their loved ones in the hands of these arrogant regimented

physicians, something will change.

How many more similar stories must we hear of and still watch this barbaric

practice of 'conventional medicine' continue?

A dear friend of 30 years, whom we knew as a teen, finally succumbed to this

torturous and murderous arrogance? This young lady also developed a

hoarseness and it was attributed to her severe obesity. No long story

here..............it was handled that way for 3 years and then finally

Cancer of the larynx was discovered. Two and 1/2 years of horrible

treatments before peace arrived- she died!

However, neither her father-in-law or me could get them to explore other

methods. We all must die sometime, why before our time and why with such

great suffering? Ask the M.D. However, it takes a strong person to

fight the system.

My next door neighbor is now on the same conveyor belt with Inoperable Small

Cell Lung Cancer and the resultant treatments. Of course it is in remission

and of course he has been advised to cease all supplements and of course he

is eating the 'fattening foods' and of course he will most likely die.

Oh the horror of it all.

I've been a fan of Blaylock's since learning of his book " Excitotoxins " a

number of years ago while searching for nutritional approaches to dealing with

my

son's lifetime of seizures poorly controlled by drugs.

We are so very lucky.

We've just been released fron 8.5 weeks of hospitalization when my son had

his cancerous bladder removed and a new one created and installed.

Unfortunately, natural oncology was not successful.

Charlie's been on nutritional supplements for years. I was able to give him

his supplements while inpatient and for the seven weeks he was not able to

eat, he got a custom tailored TPN, based on the supplement schedule.... PLUS

MgSO4 and NaCl or KCl fine tuning IVs.

So, just know that it can be done. And, I'm just a Mom (who literally stayed

in the kid's hospital room and took breaks out in the car in the parking lot

100 miles from home.)

And, yes, there were times that I had to challenge the direction of my son's

neurological care..... I won no friends with the consulting neurologists at

this teaching hospital. The result of which I am now on good terms with the Vice

Chief of Staff of the hospital.

We make significant efforts to find doctors that are cross trained in the use

of herbs, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids in addition to

pharmaceuticals. They are out there, it just takes perseverance.

My two cents

[Guest guest]

I remember what my uncle angrily narrated to me, how my grandma died

because of modern medicine. She was having a trouble urinating,

after confining to a hospital, she was told to take 22 kinds of

medicines capsule and tablets, thereby killing her, not a single

drop of urine came out. My uncle mind is very unorthodox but

sometimes he makes sense. He said never confine them in the hospital

they will just die there. My father, during his last days vehemently

don't like the idea of going to a hospital, my father was suffering

from hepatitis, his chest is flat but his stomach was bulging. Yes,

my father died in the hospital also after just 3 days of

confinement. He was diagnosed as having cancer. My grandfather

(mother side) died of cancer in the groin, I think?, I don't know

what happen I was very young then but during his chemo there was

good results coming for months, then suddenly his body is not

responding from chemo anymore. Then an uncle of mine died of cancer

also a cyst in the chest that turned into cancer. They all died in

the hospital, depending very much on their doctors and their modern

medicines.

Now, as i am thinking, if I only knew then what I knew now, they

would still be alive and enjoying life without illness. I know a

doctor that only pescribes natural food supplements that can help

cure illnesses and even disorders. Have already witnessed hundreds

of patients getting cured, I would undoubtedly gamble on these

products. Because I've been using them for more than 2 years now

with my family and friends and with my 4 year old daughter from

simple infections to cysts to primary complexes and other illnesses.

After being informed, I now stay away from any kind of modern

medicines and drugs.
