Your doctor may be more dangers than cancer.
After being injured at the hands of western medical doctors, suffering for decades, bedridden for the majority of 13 years, eventually dying from those injuries, and being revived back to life, I've learned ways to thrive and to increase the health of my mind, body, and spirit far beyond what I previously knew existed.
I've gone from being an all-in medical student on my way to become an orthopedic surgeon, to an encourager of true healing and health (including mind, body, and spirit), with a focus on how God beautifully and intricately created us to thrive. (Find my books and upcoming memoir here).
Left For Dead
After the injury on the operating table, I was told by one medical doctor and specialist after another that my injuries were,
“Permanent and progressive, with no known cure or treatment."
I was told to “Go home and write a Will." We searched the globe for answers, but they couldn't reverse the damage they caused. Sadly, I came to find out I wasn't the only one suffering at the hands of those I was taught to trust.
One Of Millions
Sadly, I'm one of the millions of people who've suffered tremendously from western medical errors. It's left me permanently handicapped and requiring 24-hour care. I'm paying with my life for trusting western medical doctors and their system of “care”.
Before I leave this world, my prayer is to increase wisdom in others and reduce the number of people who are injured or killed by western medicine. This comes from a place in my heart filled with love for people and wanting to save you from this completely unnecessary suffering. This is not an “us against them” situation, but a heartfelt desire for everyone to be aware of truth, information, and knowledge so you can make better decisions with your life and your health. This is what I wish someone had told me (and I had listened) before it happened to me, my friends, family, and so many others across the planet.
Hard But Honest Truth
It’s uncomfortable to see hard truths, especially about something or someone you believe is here to help you. Sadly, this may be so surprising to some that they’ll want to deny or ignore it. But that denial or ignorance can be dangerous, if not fatal to you and your loved ones.
Leading Cause of Death
The truth is that today, western medical doctors are the leading cause of death in the United States. More than all cancer combined. Seriously. Those are the actual numbers and statistics. Yet because it's not mentioned in the mass media, no one seems to notice.
Do you realize what this means? It means that you’re more likely to be killed by your doctor than killed by cancer. Think about that for a moment. You’re statistically more likely to die from western medical “treatments” than from cancer itself. That alone can be enough to make you reconsider your next visit, prescription, or procedure.
Iatrogenic death is known as the “inadvertent and preventable induction of disease or complications by the medical treatment or procedures of a physician or surgeon”. An independent review of “government approved” medicine, published by Professors Gary Null, Dr. Carolyn Dean, and Dr. Martin Feldman, titled “Death by Medicine”, found that in the United States, the iatrogenic death rate (death caused by western doctors and/or their medical treatments) is an astonishing, 783,936 people per year. This trend is continuing to climb each year, and we're quickly closing in on nearly a million deaths each year - and that's just in the United States. Similar numbers were reported in another recent study by patient-safety researchers and John Hopkins University; making death by western medicine a leading cause of death and injury in the United States.
That’s over a quarter million (230,865) more deaths per year caused by western medicine, than caused by cancer. Hundreds of thousands of people are dying at the hands of their doctors or western medical staff rather than dying from the disease for which they’re seeking treatment.
This breaks down to 2,147 people killed by western medicine each day; that’s equivalent to five Boeing 747 crashes every 24 hours. Wow. If airplanes were falling out of the sky at this rate, what would we be doing about it? Think of the tragedy, outrage and the changes we would be making immediately. How are we not in an uproar about this?! And those totals more than double, to 1,710,150 death per year when we consider all the precious lives of children who are slaughtered in the United States each year as well.
Together, that's 4,685 precious lives who are killed every single day at the hands of the western medical community. A number equivalent to eleven airplane crashes every 24 hours. If airplanes were falling out of the sky at this rate, what would we be doing about it?
Who To Blame?
Want to blame your doctor? True, much of the blame does fall on them for executing these outrageously dangerous "treatments", but if we follow the money, we realize the education that western doctors receive is tied to America’s largest pharmaceutical companies.
So it’s not surprising that a doctor’s only option for “treatment” is pharmaceuticals or surgery (which also includes pharmaceuticals). It's not difficult to follow the money. And also not difficult to see the wake of death behind these actions.
You Are An Acceptable Loss
Western medicine considers it acceptable (and would like to keep it quiet) that they’re damaging and killing millions of people through medical misdiagnosis, mismanagement, unnecessary surgeries, medical errors, mistakes, administering incorrect prescriptions, negative drug interactions, and death by pharmaceutical side effects every… single… day. This staggering number of “acceptable” (though easily preventable) deaths is so far beyond atrocious, that I don’t even have words for it.
"I believe there's no greater gathering of killers (outside of a prison) than a hospital full of doctors."
Yet the doctor’s office or hospital is where so many people willingly go - believing these dangerous methods will help them stay "healthy". Most, don't fully understand the potential harm - or that their doctor's and medical staff’s education and income depends on self-inclusive big business, but not in maintaining anyone’s health.
Far More Deadly - Coverup
Though these numbers are incomprehensibly-high, unfortunately, it’s very likely they’re much, much higher... as much as 20 to 100 times higher. Why? Because most iatrogenic deaths are not reported as iatrogenic due to fear of lawsuits, the loss of a job or loss of a career. The current numbers (above) are based on asking the doctors to report their own deadly mistakes (including patients' deaths), and to report themselves to an organization that doesn’t want the public to know about it either. In both ways, much of the reporting relies on self-reported data, which typically under-represents truth.
Sadly, the medical community, including the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, does not require the reporting of medical errors in the data it collects about deaths through billing codes. This lack of accountability allows doctors, assistants and facilities to hide these facts, have no accountability, remain in business and continue those same treatments and practices on other patients.
These easily preventable deaths are almost never made public. Without all medical or lawsuit records available to patients, it’s more than difficult to know just how many people your own doctor has injured or killed. Was it their last patient? Will you be next? I hope not.
Billions of Injuries
Beyond death, western medicine is responsible for millions of people who are injured, harmed or left completely handicapped due to medical errors every year.
According to their own definitions, “A medical error is a preventable adverse effect of care, whether or not it is evident or harmful to the patient. This might include an inaccurate or incomplete diagnosis or treatment of a disease, injury, syndrome, behavior, infection, or other ailment. “
Some studies estimate this number to be around 40 times the death rate numbers, although it's conservatively estimated to be around 20 million people each year who suffer from a non-lethal medical error.
"That's one person negatively effected by western medical errors every 1 ½ seconds."
And that's just in the United States.
Completely unaware of these facts, I was more than shocked when a medical mistake left me fighting for me life after a “very safe and routine surgery” that’s performed as much as 3 million times each year in this country (most of which are unnecessary). But I had no idea. I believed I could trust my doctors with my health and my life.
At the time, I had no idea that our doctors could so easily and permanently damage something that they couldn’t repair. Leaving me requiring 24-hour care and a terminal prognosis from the damage they caused.
Like most patients, I considered a lawsuit and contacted multiple lawyers, but I was even more shocked and horrified that my chances of winning even a single penny or having the doctor’s license revoked were almost zero (and I was unlikely to survive long enough to see the case through to the end). Why? Because the doctor is protected by the western medical system, which allows for significant losses (including the injury or death of their patients) as a regular part of practicing medicine.
The more I learned and shared my story, the more people I discovered who had similar, or even worse, medical mistakes happen to them or their loved ones. I was regularly told, one after another, of people having routine surgery, taking a prescription medication, or getting a pharmaceutical injection, who ended up with a life-threatening infection, nerve damage, joint damage, internal bleeding, stroke, traumatic brain injury, heart attack, cancer, or the sudden death of a loved one.
It's more than heartbreaking to realize that horrific medical errors not only happened to me, but it's happening to millions of people every single day.
The Best Are Killers Too
At first, I thought these catastrophic medical errors only occurred in shady doctor offices, or poorly funded clinics, but I was wrong. Even in a best-case scenario (like mine), in the top hospitals across the United States, almost 50% of surgeries have drug-related errors, and many of those end-up causing harm to a patient. Sadly, 90 percent of hospitals across the country are not rated in the top ten percent and have far worse records and statistics. That leaves you with less than a 50% chance of experiencing any kind of surgery without a negative medical incident. Less than 50%.
"We wouldn’t tolerate a 50% failure rate from our auto mechanic, our roofer or even our local coffee shop. So, why are we tolerating it from our doctors?"
We shouldn’t be willing to gamble (with less than 50% odds) with the most valuable physical thing we have... our health.
Sadly, these horrifying cases are incredibly common and have become the "normal and acceptable risk" of western medicine. It happened to me and numerous loved ones. Chances are, you or someone you know, either has or will be negatively affected by western medicine; perhaps a wrong diagnosis, incorrect medication, surgical error, permanently disabled, or even death.
I imagine that most of these precious souls, killed by western medicine, believed they were doing the “right thing”; they trusted that their doctor and the western medical system was there to help them and to cause no harm. I can’t help but wonder what they would tell you today if they could. Perhaps they too, would love you enough to give you the hard facts; to warn you of the dangers and pray that you would use that knowledge to make safer, healthier decisions for yourself.
From First Choice To Last Resort
Any profession that uses cutting, poisoning and irradiating as a primary means of a “treatment” or “cure", is to be approached and treated with more than a good dose of caution. These extreme measures (that bring additional negative and harmful effects to our bodies) should be used as a last resort, not a first choice.
Don’t get me wrong; there’s a time and place for western medicine. Their strength shines in the case of an acute emergency (trauma, the setting of broken bones) and other rare occasions, for which I'm deeply grateful. But even traumatic, potentially life-saving medicine comes with the risk of it being life-altering or life-ending and should be weighed very carefully.
Even then, as soon as the initial trauma has been reduced, (and hopefully you live to tell about it) I pray that you return to medical practices that don’t use pharmaceuticals and surgery as a first resort; focusing on giving your amazing body what it needs so it can heal itself and return to true health.
"Any profession that uses cutting, poisoning and irradiating as a primary means of a “treatment” or “cure", is to be approached and treated with more than a good dose of caution."
Where Is The Outcry?
So, how are we not in an uproar about this?!
"Where are the empty clinics, showing our wisdom of their errors? Why do people continue to return? Do we think there’s no alternative? Think again."
Thankfully, there are plenty of phenomenal options available that have been used for thousands of years. Hopefully, it’s time to open ourselves, to take responsibility for our own health (it's ours, not theirs anyway), empower ourselves, to make more informed, educated, and deliberate choices every day to further our health and explore the amazing possibilities that await us.
What's The Alternative?
Like most here in the United States, I grew up trusting the practices of western medicine, believing they were to do no harm, and that they were there to help us. After seeing the truth first-hand, I slowly opened myself up to other possibilities. It turns out there are a lot of options available, many work so well in the area of prevention that it makes some of western medicine obsolete.
Most of what is considered “alternative” medicine has been used for thousands of years. There is little crossover between eastern and western medicine, as they serve very different principals. Western medicine focuses on emergency medicine, exclusively using surgery and or pharmaceuticals after trauma or long-term illness has already occurred. Eastern medicine focuses on prevention, noticing subtle signs and encouraging the body toward self-repair and health before it becomes traumatic.
Personally, I wouldn’t call this approach alternative, I call this the first step toward health. If, for some reason, the issue or illness outpaces the body’s ability to correct an imbalance, a logical next step or last resort, would be the extreme measures of western medicine (if one choose to do so).
True health isn't a matter of prevention by covering up or living in fear but strengthening ourselves to naturally be both strong and flexible in order to overcome whatever comes our way. Check out my blog post, 30 Ways I Boost My Immune System.
Not Mutually Exclusive
There is no “us vs. them” scenario here, just recognizing the dangers of extreme measures, and using them as an absolute last resort, while having an enormous variety of medicine available that focuses on prevention and keeping you in the best health possible.
Do Your Homework
Trust no one, not even me, and certainly not your doctor (whose financial future depends on the big business of pharmaceutical companies). Do your own research on health, medicine, practices and ideas that you haven’t previously considered. Open yourself to consider the idea that your doctor can do you harm. Yes, it can happen to you, and the more times you trust them with your life, the more likely something will go horribly wrong.
Moving Forward
Unfortunately, I will pay every moment of every day for my doctors' mistakes; as I'm unable to care for myself or even take a shower on my own. These are tragedy, trials, and daily struggles that I wish on no one. And unless I die from an accident before then (again), I will pay with my life for trusting western medical doctors. Thankfully, I’ve discovered an enormous array of eastern medicine and alternative practices that have helped my body make improvements that the western world agreed were impossible.
And, in case you’re wondering, yes, the doctors responsible for permanently damaging me, and whose mistakes will eventually take my life, are still practicing medicine, prescribing pharmaceuticals, and operating on patients today. Perhaps he’s your doctor now. Perhaps you’re his next victim. Many victims don’t get the opportunity to tell their story. Most loved ones are never told it was the doctor’s fault.
Mine is a particularly rare case, because after the statute of limitations had passed (and I was no longer able to sue the doctors), they fully admitted what they had done, they admitted the cover-up, and the failed and false reporting. And they also admitted that they not only still perform, but now teach the same techniques and practices to other doctors and surgeons across the nation.
Loving Arms
I’m here, with my arms and heart open, to share wisdom from beyond the grave, after dying and coming back, twice. My motivation is not money, fame, or any earthly value. My hope is to impart wisdom, and to share truth in the hopes that you can make more informed decisions; and I pray above all, that you and your loved ones will never have to suffer the way I have due to a medical mistake.
Open your heart and mind to more than what you’ve been told to narrowly believe - glimpse into the bigger picture and discover the proactive world that awaits you with open arms. Perhaps you'll benefit or even thrive, by taking a proactive approach to your health, moving away from pharmaceutical-driven medicine and toward the direction of true health. Breathe deeper, feel lighter, healthier, and more freedom than you ever knew was possible. Welcome to a world of enlightenment and healing… body, mind and spirit.
