I received a call from a retired Dentist named Joe this morning who asked if I would write about the dangers of drugs. He specifically pointed to Revelation 18:23, 24: And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth."
In the Greek, the word for sorceries is pharmakeia, which means, according to Strong's Concordance, "medication (pharmacy), magic, sorcery, witchcraft."
I have been in natural medicine and alternative health for over 25 years. I am not going to argue whether a person should take a drug for an emergency crisis or anaesthesia before surgery, but I will argue the wholesale marketing of drugs, the deaths and damage caused by many prescription drugs, and the huge profits raked in by the pharmaceutical drug cartels.
I have sat across many chemotherapy patients and listened to their shocking, horror stories regarding failed cancer treatments. The sad look in their faces after the chemotherapy and radiation had failed again! Here are some of the statements I often hear from the victims: "The doctor's sounded so hopeful, and I believed him;" "He said he had clear margins after my lumpectomy, why is the cancer back;" "If I had known what my arm would feel like I would have never had the lymph nodes removed;" or "If you don't take the chemotherapy you will die."
Last week, I spoke to a doctor who was looking for alternative treatment centers for his nephew who was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He admitted that modern-medicine offers little, if any, hope for his nephew's case. When the patient's wife asked the oncologist about alternative therapies as a possible treatment protocol, the doctor turned red in his face and blurted out, "They don't work." It reminded me of my discussion with the doctor at 3ABN after I was cancelled for quoting Dr. Max Gerson and other natural healers, and my promoting colon cleansing. "There is no scientific proof to support these people," he said. "There is no science to colon cleansing."
But there is proof that many drugs have caused many deaths in America. The Journal of the American Medical Association reported that the third leading cause of death in this country are drugs and doctors. Iatrogenic induced death means the doctors and drugs were the cause. Charlotte Gerson once said, "More people are dying from the side-effects of the medications than from the disease itself."
Here are the dismal figures: 12,000 unnecessary surgeries; 7,000 medication errors in hospitals; 20,000 other errors in hospitals; 80,000 infections in hospitals; and 106,000 non-error, negative effects of drugs!
How many reports need to be published that verify FDA-approved drugs like Vioxx and Celebrex cause heart attacks and strokes? How many reports that statin drugs cause liver damage and cancer? How many reports on the contraindications of drugs, while the drug salesmen bring more gourmet lunches to the doctor's office in order to sell them their potions? The government wants to make flu shots in New Jersey mandatory before children are admitted to school. My Italian doctor once said, "In Italy, we do not believe in injecting germs into people."
"Drugs never cure disease; they only change its form and location. . . . When drugs are introduced into the system, for a time they seem to have a beneficial effect. A change may take place, but the disease is not cured. It will manifest itself in some other form. . . . The disease which the drug was given to cure may disappear, but only to reappear in a new form, such as skin diseases, ulcers, painful, diseased joints, and sometimes in a more dangerous and deadly form. . . . Nature keeps struggling, and the patient suffers with different ailments, until there is a sudden breaking down in her efforts, and death follows. Healthful Living, p. 243.
My goal is to educate people in healthful living and lifestyle practices. We should obey God's natural laws of health and to use nature's remedies when needed. Too many people run to the doctor and take prescription drugs before giving the body a chance to correct itself. The body was designed to heal itself. At least, make drugs a last, not first, resort. I have to agree with the Lord, that most drugs are nothing more than modern-day sorceries or witch's brew and the wholesale market of dangerous prescriptions constitutes part of the deceptions of the last days. Let Revelation speak!
