Welcome to Total Healths Mini-Medical Courseof
Health Alternatives!

• In the next three hours, we are going to learn
  how to avoid the leading causes of death and
  disability by wise living and eating.

2
Topics we will consider

• 1 cause of premature death, not heart or cancer
• Reversing cardiovascular disease Eating dvd.
• Avoiding cancer, chemo, and radiation
• Break, 5 minutes, dont loiter!
• Eating DVD, part II
• A most overlooked cause of medical symptoms
• Natural solutions to medical problems

3
Health--our most valuable asset.

• Cant enjoy life without it.
• Like a heart or hip transplant
• So take care of your health, but
• Today we are going to see health care as what we
  do for ourselves, not what the doctor does.
  Medical care usually focuses on disease.

The 1 Cause of Premature Death in the U.S. Today
5
Enjoying the Good Life?
6
Lets say youre enjoying the good life as the
TV commercials suggest--

• Pepperoni Pizza
• Budweiser (or a Coke)
• and you get some heartburn

7
So you ask your doctor

• Hes happy to prescribe a purple pill...
• Heal the damage!
• So you try it and maybe it helps...
• You continue the good life and prescription
• Months pass you get a headache. You never had
  one before--you go to Emergency.

8
Tests and scans are negative-- not a stroke or
brain tumor!

• They give you a prescription for headache
• and say, Check with your doctor soon.

9
You see your doctor

• You mention the Emergency visit and occasonal
  headaches, but the pills seem to take care of
  it.
• He says, Continue, and come back if you have
  any problems.
• It might take months or even years, but you
  could die suddenly! HOW?

10
By ignoring a sign of toxicity...

• The ads say, headache, diarrhea or abdominal
  pain.
• When you got the headache, it meant that you
  needed to stop the prescription but you
  continued, and added one more.

11
Adverse Drug Reactions were responsible for
106,000 deaths in hospitals under monitored
conditions. The drugs were properly prescribed
and administered. Journal American Med. Assoc.
4-15-1998
12
But those 106,000 deaths were in hospitals, how
many die at home?

• 199,000 according to Saul Weingart, MD , Western
  Journal of Medicine, 6-2000, 391.
• Thats 305,000 from prescription drugs!

13
And those figures are from 1998.

• From 1998 through 2005 reported serious drug
  events increased 2.6-fold and fatal adverse drug
  events increased 2.7-fold. Archives of Internal
  Medicine, Sept 10 2007.
• If we multiply 305,000 by 2.7, the rate in 2005
  was 823,500 deaths/year. The medical journal had
  this graphic

14
American Heart Assoc says 32 of 1,400,000 heart
deaths are before age 75 (premature). Thats
448,000 for 05 when those dying of cancer
totaled 559,000. This means drugs kill more
people before 75 than heart disease or cancer,
but we dont hear about it
15
And whats 823,500 deaths/year?
Its like 82 people on each of 10 planes crashing
3 times a day, 333 days/year.
Its also 2473 people dying daily!
16
When 3 planes crashed on 9-11, government
grounded all planes. Why dont they act now?

• Dr Marcia Angell, editor of New England Journal
  of Medicine told 60 Minutes the drug companies
  spend 400 million/year on congress and
  re-election campaigns.
• The government isnt your nanny theyre your
  dealer. They subsidize illness they have to,
  theres too much money in it

17
Theres no money in

• Healthy people
• Dead people
• The money is in the middlepeople who are alive
  with one or more chronic conditions like asthma,
  autism, acid reflux, arthritis, attention deficit
  syndrome, acne and thats just the As
• In one of the presidential candidates health
  plans, nutrition and exercise appeared once
  drugs appeared 14 times.

The Physicians Desk Reference 3500
pages--scientific medicine

• Adverse side effects
• Contraindications
• Drug interactions
• Carcinogenesis
• Pregnancy warnings
• Your doctor cant recall them all

19
Nexium Adverse Reactions abdomen enlarged,
allergic reaction, asthenia, back or chest pain,
edema, hot flushes, fever fatigue, flu-like
malaise, hypertension, tachycardia, bowel
irregularity, constipation, dyspepsia, dysphagia,
epigastric pain, hiccup, gastroenteritis,
melena GI hemorrhage. And this is just one
quarter of the list!
20
Drug action always represents artificial
interference with the natural functioning of the
organism. Drills Pharmacology in Medicine, pg
61, 1971, McGraw Hill.
If drugs interfere with natural function, how
will natures healing forces work?
21
Curing disease?

• Medical textbooks list most diseases as of
  unknown etiology (unknown cause).
• If they dont know the cause, the drug cant be
  the cure, because a cure must address the cause.
• Drugs relieve symptoms or control conditions like
  blood pressure, blood sugar, or cholesterol
  without addressing causes. You dont have to be
  as careful about your diet or exercise
• Were feeling better while doing worse.

22
Cholesterol Drug Disaster
Pfizers new drug (torcetrapib) fulfilled its
promise, increasing good cholesterol by 72 and
reducing bad cholesterol by 24, but deaths rose
by 40. USA Today, 11-6, 2007.
23
Drugs are often linked to cancer deaths
Bloomberg, Sept 2, 2008
When 27 men were biopsied with an elevated PSA
but no cancer, they wereRxd with Proscar, a
standard drug for Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy.
A year later, 8 of the 27 men (30) had
prostate cancer on biopsy while only 1 of 25 in
the control group did.Brit. J. of Cancer Sept 1,
1999, p 184.
24
FDA Fails to Regulate

• The General Accounting Office reported during a
  decade with hundreds of drugs that were approved,
  half were found to have high risk of heart
  failure, kidney failure, respiratory failure or
  seizures
• People think FDA drugs are safer than street
  drugs because of who is selling them. This is not
  true!
• Besides deaths, many more are sick

25
Drug related problems accounted for

• 116 million extra doctor visits
• 76 million additional prescriptions
• 17 million emergency visits
• 8 million admissions to hospital
• 3 million long-term admissions
• Total cost estimate is 76.6 billion.
• Note 140 people are adversely affected for every
  person who dies.
• Western Journal Med, 6-2000, p 391

26
The body is the hero!
It is designed for self-healing. Cuts, burns and
bruises heal. Most conditions are reversible if
we know how to cooperate with the body.
27
The Father of Medicine said it,
Nature cures, not the physician let your food
be your medicine Hippocrates
28
True Health Care
Dr. Breslow, Dean of UCLAs School of Public
Health, in a 10-year study found people with
five or six health habits had a 30-year
advantage over those with one or two habits.
29
The significance of this finding jumps in focus
when you consider that between 1900 and 1970,
life expectancy for white 40-yr-old men
increased by only half a year, despite all
medical advances D.M. Vickery, Life Plan
for Your Health, 1978
30
Why is this?

• Vaccinations eliminated the childhood diseases
  like smallpox, tetanus, measles, diphtheria,
  polio, so the average lifespan is higher.
• But if a person did not die from those diseases,
  a 40-year old man was as likely to live to 75
  then as now, with only a half year advantage if
  you have medical care!
• So what is health care?

31
Sunlight Nutrition Temperance Exercise
Air Water Rest Trust in God
32
Breslows study didnt address diet, when we
specify diet, major conditions are reversible!
33
The key is motivation and were going to show
one of the most powerful DVDs. Youll want a copy
for your family, friends!

Millions could live better without drugs for
diabetes if they would

• Eat less fat and sugar, get more exercise.
• Diabetic drug Avandia has been found to increase
  heart attack risk by 45, NEJM
• But this is nothing new

In 1970 the FDA reported the UGDP study showing
diabetic drugs doubled the risk for death from
heart disease. Drugs change but the game is the
same.
36
Weve just seen the main and most important
reasons to see a doctor

• If you can reverse heart disease, high blood
  pressure and diabetes with diet and exercise, why
  look for prescriptions?
• If you dont have a warning sign of cancer, you
  probably dont need checkup.
• Why should you risk medical care (drugs) for a
  chronic condition that you can probably take care
  of yourself?

37
A low fat diet helps blood pressure
38
Suggestions for taking fewer drugs

• Try a diet low in meat, cheese, eggs, sugar, salt
  and oil, but high in fruits, vegetables.
• Taper drugs, like taking three instead of four
  a day for a week.When you see your doctor, ask
  him if your blood pressure or sugar is ok. If he
  doesnt want you to taper, look for one who
  favors less drugs.
• Further help in Health Happiness.

Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a
pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue
Bethesda, having five porches.In these lay a
great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt,
withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
It was commonly believed that an angel came down
and troubled the water. John 5.
41
Whosoever then first after the troubling of the
water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever
disease he had. A certain man was there, which
had an infirmity 38 years. In this story,
Christ healed the man, but think of the
situationPeople waiting for a ripple on the
water and then a stampede.
42
Do we see parallels to our time?

• Bethesda, John 5
• Place of healing
• Pool of water
• Promise of cure
• Stampede
• Will you be made whole?

• Bethesda, MD
• Nat. Inst. Health
• Pool of tax
• Promise of relief
• Stampede (TV ads)
• Message Drugs are all that we need!

43
People need to be taught that drugs do not
cure disease. It is true that they afford
present reliefbut in most casesa drug only
changesthe form and location of the disease.

church should take hold of medical missionary
workEverywhere people are perishing for lack of
truths that have been committed to us. 7T 62
