On assessing medicine as a science

In science, worshiping dogma may be considered “unscientific.” In religion, conforming to the ritual protocol is normal. In business, conforming to protocol is also normal. In art, we can respect poetic protocols at the same time as violating them. Logic is something that we may play with in comedy, but we can, as part of the fun, violate the rules of logic in our use of language.

What is the field of medicine? Is it a science (like physiology)? Is it art? Is it business? Is it a religious tradition?

Dogma could mean “unexamined ideas” as in “familiar traditions.” What is medical dogma and how is it important?

Medical dogma includes, at it’s foundation, a particular way that patients are classified (prioritized), like for urgent intensive care (as in choking, trauma, severe blood loss) or for “elective” interventions (things like a cosmetic surgery that has no medical urgency).

In between would be things like “surgery for the removal of wisdom teeth.” There is no life-threatening situation, but there is an underlying medical complaint (in contrast to with elective cosmetic surgery in which someone simply says “I think I would like to invest in a facelift.”)

Another important category is “dead” as well as “still alive technically, but probably beyond our capacity to save.” Again, the FOUNDATION of medical dogma (as in rituals of medical practice) is to classify patients as noted above.

So, the background subject that led to this commentary (which is not stated in this comment until now) was the category of “mental illness.” What does that mean FUNCTIONALLY? The function of someone making that diagnosis, at least originally, was “first, this is not a life-threatening situation and, second, we diagnostic professionals really do not know what to do about it.”

They could categorize things as “stage 2 or stage 3” as well as note “depression” as distinct from “visual hallucinations,” but the real function of the whole category of “mental illness” was to basically say “we can warehouse, these folks, but we really don’t know how to help them and it is not a priority to do so.” That is in contrast to something like scurvy, in which the situation was urgent but there was no comprehension of physiology to give an intelligent treatment protocol. So, someone with scurvy would be warehoused as well but with more concern for issues like contagion (not an issue for mental illness) as well as impending death.

On to my particular interests, what is “scurvy?” It is a label for convenient categorizing. Scurvy does not cause scurvy. Scurvy is just a label.

What is “cancer?” It is a label for convenient categorizing. Cancer does not cause cancer (or acidic pH or tumors). Cancer is just a label FOR A PRE-EXISTING EFFECT.

In particular, is cancer a living organism that attacks another organism, as in possessing it and then spreading or attacking different organs? No. That is simply false- or at least grossly imprecise.

When I say that modern medicine is a religion of demon worship, I am not joking. I am also not condemning that religion or it’s priesthood (although I may criticize the priesthood, but just not for the fact that they are a priesthood of demon worship). Cancer is presented (by many in that religion’s priesthood) as a living demon that possesses another entity and then the so-called cancer (which is just a label) is “worshiped.” Again, the label of cancer is ritually worshiped.

The label itself causes stress and even terror for many people. Further, THAT IS THE DESIGN OF THAT RELIGION.

The religion is not specifically designed for promoting health. Again, modern medicine (which is a religion) is not specifically designed for promoting health. So, to assess it SOLELY on the basis of how well it promotes health may be naive or even “disrespectful.”

However, we can assess any “science” solely on the basis of how well it (a particular set of scientific models) can be used to promote health. That may just be inappropriate when assessing the FDA or a particular MD.

Why? Because the MD is operating within the context of swearing an oath within their priesthood. Their loyalty to the priesthood (as in to the FDA) really IS important to their CAREER as a licensed priest of the religion of modern medicine. (Ask Dr. Andrew Weil, Milton Erickson, etc….)

In other words, an MD swears an oath to respect an institution and it’s dogmas (which can change). MDs who disrespect the FDA or the CDC may face serious consequences- perhaps more serious than for an unlicensed person.

Is it “paranoia” to be considerate of possible negative consequences for opposing the interests of the FDA (which, again is not primarily interested in the promotion of health for all humans or any particular human)? Is it paranoia to say that the FDA’s reversal of position in regard to Aspartame (“Nutrasweet”) may have been more of a business decision (a political decision) rather than a scientific decision?

I think that it is paranoid for people to think of the FDA as “an authority on science.” They do use science, but very selectively. So does the US Navy!

The US Navy also does research that they hide from the public. Certain other models are publicized to the public (such as “cholesterol is a poisonous demon that is manufactured by every liver on this planet in order to poison the host”). Are those models scientific? Those models simply promote the business interests that they promote.

Institutions are not authorities on science. To relate to an institution as an authority on science is… completely unscientific. However, if someone swears a commercial oath to respect the dogmas of an institution as if the institution was scientific and as if certain dogmas are scientific, that is understandable.

However, that is just business. That is just the bussiness of that particular religion of demon worship.

Modern medicine promotes hysteria in regard to the particular sacred words that are worshiped in that religion as demons. Is it good business? VERY GOOD! It is scientific? That could be TOTALLY irrelevant… to the interests of the institution.

What is the historical origin of the modern medical priesthoods? They are recent branches of the priesthoods of imperialist warfare (governments).

For instance, when Moses issued the order for the slaughter of the Midianites, weren’t the priests the highest ranking military authorities (the officers) in that religion of imperialism? Just prior to that (according to the ancient stories recorded in the Bible), when an Israelite named Phinehas snuck up on two people and killed them by driving a spear through both of them, he was rewarded with a special priesthood. (Numbers 25:13)

See Numbers 25:6-17 http://biblehub.com/niv/numbers/25.htm

6 Then an Israelite man brought into the camp a Midianite woman right before the eyes of Moses and the whole assembly of Israel while they were weeping at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 7 When Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, saw this, he left the assembly, took a spear in his hand 8 and followed the Israelite into the tent. He drove the spear into both of them, right through the Israelite man and into the woman’s stomach. Then the plague against the Israelites was stopped; 9 but those who died in the plague numbered 24,000.

10 The Lord said to Moses, 11 “Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, has turned my anger away from the Israelites. Since he was as zealous for my honor among them as I am, I did not put an end to them in my zeal. [Note that “put an end to them” means the The Lord had started to wipe out the Israelites with a plague, but then stopped the ongoing extermination process.]  12 Therefore tell him I am making my covenant of peace with him. 13 He and his descendants will have a covenant of a lasting priesthood, because he was zealous for the honor of his God and made atonement for the Israelites.”

14 The name of the Israelite who was killed with the Midianite woman was Zimri son of Salu, the leader of a Simeonite family. 15 And the name of the Midianite woman who was put to death was Kozbi daughter of Zur, a tribal chief of a Midianite family.

16 The Lord said to Moses, 17 “Treat the Midianites as enemies and kill them….”

MS, Arthritis, Autism, & demon-worshiping MDs

This image was posted on the timeline of a local “new thought” minister that I met several years ago. The dialogue below is between myself and a different new thought minister. I did remove her full name, but she mentions (on a “public” thread in facebook) various diagnostic labels and drugs that she has used.

  J R Fibonacci Hunn What if all of those are just as easy to relieve as they are to produce? I recovered from being crippled by Multiple Sclerosis (among other things).

  Rev B.:

  Congratulations. Relieve is one thing, cure is another. The biologicals work wonders yet have side effects, taking weekly injections, get your blood work checked every 3 months or more, living with what was supposedly a over active immune system that has now been suppressed. No fun. All drugs have side effects. Just don’t dwell on it, get out & live the best you can. Sounds like you are doing this! Congrats!

  J R Fibonacci Hunn Rev B., I think you were responding to my reference to “relief.” I could not walk in early 2007 and had no idea why. With $5 of raw organic cow cream, (plus a brief free conversation to educate me), I had a complete and permanent end to my primary symptoms overnight. MDs like Terry Wahls have conducted regular clinical trials to confirm the biochemical mechanisms. Once they figured out how to produce MS, it was pretty easy to treat. However, I have been most impressed not by my own recovery using biochemistry, but by the mind-blowing power of physics (and electromagnetics / pH) in regard not just to recoveries, but profound improvements in health far beyond the “average baseline.”

  My other main health issue was kidney stones. I had several in 2006 and never since then. So, I tend to avoid term like “cure.”

  If someone dips their arm in battery acid, there is no “cure” for the simple electromagnetics of a strong concentration of acidity (unpaired protons). When the same thing happens internally, we can call it “cancer” and we can “cure” the low pH by adding unpaired electrons (“raising the pH”). However, most of the people using the term cure are talking within a largely superstitious paradigm in which diagnostic labels like “cancer” are more or less worshiped as demonic entities that possess a victim. That quackery is grossly imprecise.

  It is like saying that someone with low levels of Vitamin C is possessed by a demon called scurvy. There is no “cure” for scurvy because there is no demon of scurvy possessing anyone (and never was- no matter how many sincere but ignorant specialists may have talked about finding a cure for scurvy).

  Rev B.:

  What ever works for you, have tried a lot of holistic stuff, still try. Still must look at my glass as half full, I appear normal, however when in my Rheumatologist’s office & I see deformed people in wheel chairs & etc… I must thank God ….. I know what they have & are going through, I know the pain well, thank God for the grace of God go I.

  The first year was diagnosed Enbrel came out, that was in 1998. Then Humira & quite a few others. Some people I know with MS have taken these bio-modifiers too, for some, they work. It is heartbreaking to see the kids with R.A. Some only 2 or 3 years old. Kids 10 – 12 years old with multiple joint replacements. You are always wondering what would happen to all these people on these expensive miracle drugs if we had some kind of national disaster & people can’t get them, or keep them refrigerated? Over $3,000.00 a month for Humira alone, the med. I take. Only hope am lucky & my immune system weakens as I age, or straightens out somehow.

  As Ambassador & advocate for the Arthritis Foundation I push for a cure. Since a lot of research is funded by the drug companies, it makes me wonder. 80% of our immune system is in our guts. B. Fragilis controls the T cells or modifies the cells that attack. Exactly what the biological modifiers do.

  As Jesus said as he healed “He that believeth in me, the works that I do, shall he do also.” He repeatedly stated, over & over, “these things I do, ye shall do & even greater things.” I believe we can find a cure, however the drug manufactures do make a lot of $ treating. I do what I can for myself & others.

  Being a part of several Arthritis Foundation support groups, you would not believe what some go through. Hard to take & listen to. A lot of horror & negativity, however they really need to share their burden, & I understand. R.A. changed my life from science, technology & teaching, & in that I was praying so much …. I became a Minister! A Metaphysicist I think I always was. Actually in many ways a scientist I will always be. The “Force” works in strange ways. Meanwhile Ad Astra (means on to the stars) & Namaste!

  J R Fibonacci Hunn RevB, When I saw “RA” I thought that you meant “Regressive Autism” at first. I’ll address arthritis below and autism first. You seem pretty open so let’s see if what you read below “rocks your world” in a good way….

  Regressive Autism takes some time to completely reverse, but I understand that the success rate is 100% for people who use the relevant protocol. It could cost a few hundred per month generally- not counting grocery costs for the dietary restrictions. I could tell you more if you are interested.

  The big issue is that most people are satisfied with the quality of care of the demon-worshiping priesthood of MDs. Otherwise, people would not continue to go to them. Motivated, discerning, committed people would go online (even to a library) and search for what produces the best results. Then, they might go back to the MDs and say “can you offer me something better than this?” 

  Obviously, there can be many MDs who do everything possible to restrict competition, but some of the parents of kids with regressive autism also happen to be MDs…. If someone hears an MD say “I have never heard of it, so it *must* be ineffective,” and then does NOT question the ignorance, arrogance, and negligence of the MD (privately or openly), then they may continue to take the actions to get the results that the MD can offer.

  As for your stories, I probably would not be shocked by your stories. I have worked in nursing homes and also watched my parents deteriorating. Also, I was 36 when I lost the ability to walk. My own journey has had “some bumps.” I have read a lot of case studies and clinical research too. My sister is a PT & LMT (& somewhat open-minded).

  Arthritis is not a demon possessing anyone. It is simply a label for “joint inflammation.” Beware of those who worship the label without any apparent comprehension of the basic physics of the matter.

  You can produce inflammation lots of ways- a hot stove or the pavement in Mesa in June, or too much exposure to the sun which will burn skin, or sticking your arm in a mild acid, or… chronic internal acidity. Arthritis and the long list of other chronic inflammatory conditions all correspond to acidic pH (more protons than electrons) within some particular internal tissues. If the pH of the skin itself gets acidic enough, then a visible rash will form (similar to a sunburn, etc)….

  Arthritis may develop in specific joints more than others. That just shows the different pH in different tissues. Arthritis is a label thrown around by ignorant specialists who are not really that committed to your well-being or else they would have been eager to research the issue further and would be open to alternatives rather than terrified and cynical and antagonistic. (Note also that the main researcher that is the source of my references here about pH and arthritis was also an MD himself before encountering devastating health issues that immobilized him and thus he became very motivated to look beyond his medical school training, which he did with tremendous success.)

  So, arthritis is not a demon. The demon-worshipers have it wrong. They are simply quacks- though they may also have access to pain relief medications that many people value.

  However, when tissue is inflamed, it SHOULD be painful. A healthy person experiencing inflammation SHOULD experience pain so they know to research changes to make… so that they can not just reverse the inflammation and pain, but start to move their organism in the direction of health.

  Once the imbalance of pH is resolved, then the inflamed tissue will heal and the pain signals will no longer be produced. Blocking the pain may be convenient, but it is not an improvement in health. People with weak joints and no sensation of pain will be likely to experience damage to their joints like sprains and breaks.

  

  As for “over-active immune system,” that could be an immune system handling lots of toxicity. MDs may attack the immune system itself. Better might be to strengthen the immune system to remove the toxicity more efficiently, plus dramatically reduce the input of toxins.

lyrics: (the demons worship) Holy Hate

You know, life can be scary. We all have been ashamed.

We argue what would fair be. We name who is to blame.

But the fact of fear is simple. We learn not to display

the signal of our of weakness. We learn how to fake.

The devil says the world is wrong (for God made a mistake).

The guilt is placed on the great villain, target of… holy hate.

Tell them who to fear now. Tell them who to kill.

Moses sent the soldiers… so that blood would spill.

Warlord God of Israel, the slaves all bow to you.

Apocalyptic terror… trains the herds for gloom.

The shepherd hooks a sheep’s neck, traps it with a fence,

sheers it and then eats it. It’s resource management.

The sheep believe in Santa, dream of eternal hell,

and worship their own demon… a diagnostic label.

They fear the label cancer. They fear the label AIDS.

They worship paranoia. The doctors all get paid.

But a label on a jar of acid won’t change the p H

The sheep so sincere fight the label (to their own dismay)

The good shepherd hoards the baking soda….

The devil says the world is wrong for God made a mistake.

The guilt is placed on the great villain, target of… holy hate.

Tell them who to fear now. Tell them who to kill.

Moses sent the soldiers… so that blood would spill.

Warlord God of Israel, the slaves all bow to you.

Apocalyptic terror… trains the herds for gloom.

You know, life can be scary. We all have been ashamed.

We argue what would fair be. We name who is to blame.

But the fact of fear is simple. We learn not to display

the signal of our of weakness. We learn how to fake.
