"If we doctors threw all our medicines into the sea, it would be that much better for our patients and that much worse for the fishes."  Oliver Wendell Holmes, M.D.
I have seen the foolishness of conventional disease care wisdom.  I have seen hospitals feed white bread to patients with bowel cancer and hospitals feed "Jello" to leukemia patients.  I have seen schools feed bright red "Slush Puppies" to 7 year olds for lunch and I have seen children vomit up a desk-top full of red crud afterwards.  And, I have seen those same children later line up at the school nurse for hyperactivity drugs.
I have seen hospital patients allowed to go two weeks without a bowel movement.  I have seen patients told that they have six months to live when they might live sixty months.  I have seen people recover from serious illness, only to have their physician berate them for having used natural healing methods to do so.  I have seen infants spit up formula while their mothers were advised not to breast feed. I've seen better ingredients in dog food than in the average school or hospital lunch.
And I have seen enough.
Don't bother looking in the history books for what has slaughtered the most Americans.  Look instead at your dinner table.  There's an old saying:  "One fourth of what you eat keeps you alive.  The other three-fourths keep your doctor alive."  We eat too much of the wrong things and not enough of the right things.  Scientific research continually indicates nationwide vitamin and mineral deficiencies in our country.  We spend over two million million dollars (two trillion) each year on disease care in America.  Is it any surprise that doctors consistently place among the very highest incomes? 
"And we have made of ourselves living cesspools, and driven doctors to invent names for our diseases."  Plato
Nearly two-thirds of a million men died in the Civil War.  All other U.S. wars put together add about another two-thirds of a million soldiers killed.  That means that about 1,300,000 Americans have died, totally, in all the wars in U.S. history.  That is a lot of deaths.
Today, right now, we lose more than that number of Americans each yearbecause of  cardiovascular disease and cancer. 
So always remember that disease is the real enemy.
