Reasons that Scientific Medicine Is High Risk Includes Bible: Board-Certified MD

Acute medical care is often helpful; but chronic illness comes from Rx drugs/eating habits!

1. The Bible is the all-time best-selling book and in it we find Christ is the Word, the communicative agent to man, John 1:1,14. He is also the Truth, John 14:6.  The Bible’s words reflect Him who is Truth.

2. Five verses have the word “physicians” and they all have a negative context. The reader can see this by visiting an online concordance like https://www.eliyah.com/lexicon.html and put physicians in the search blank to see the Bible’s warning re physicians. This is actually five reasons in one and it may include Dr. Fauci who likes to do research—see the next reason.

3. The pool of Bethesda in John 5 collected a throng of lame, blind, impotent and weak people who had hopes of a mythological cure when an angel was believed to trouble the waters. The amazing parallel is the pool of Bethesda, home of National Institutes of Health where taxes are pooled to fund drug research for a cure of symptoms to a cause that’s usually what we choose to put in our mouths. Diseases of choice.

4. The good news is that most diseases are reversible because God designed the body to reflect the spiritual truth that we can be forgiven if we seek God’s help in repentance. The body, like God, forgives our misdeeds in poor choices of eating, drinking, smoking and tends to reverse disease if we repent and live well as this 8-min video with Dr. Esselstyn of Cleveland Clinic shows. https://youtu.be/uDc7oZ-EnX0  

 5. The video shows how major health problems are reversible with a plant-based diet, which also gave 73% less severity to 568 healthcare workers who got Covid, reported by the British Medical Journal. That’s the diet that Daniel risked his life for, when he opted out of government healthcare in Daniel 1.

6. Medical care is not healthcare. It has almost nothing to do with healthy habits that could add a decade of life for most people. The more we see a doctor for chronic conditions, the shorter life becomes due to Adverse Drug Reactions. http://LeadingCauseOfDeathPrescriptionDrugs.com cites the medical journals.

7. Marcia Angell, MD, former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine wrote The Truth About the Drug Companies—How They Deceive Us. It’s interesting that her name is Angell and in Revelation 18:2 an angel says the confused systems of Babylon are fallen, and it includes the drug companies because pharmakeia (Greek word in verse 23) deceives all nations (like the former editor of the NEJM said.

8. The Oath of Hippocrates says to do no harm. The Bible’s Golden Rule says to do to others as you would have them do to you. These support MDs quitting medical care due to Adverse Drug Reactions when it is impossible to know how a person will react and many are made sick or die by them.

As Hippocrates said, “Let your food be your medicine.” If we didn’t have all the symptomatic drugs that give some relief, we might come to real answers faster by experimenting with different foods if we’re sick.

9. This author taught Health Science at Loma Linda University. Dr. Mervyn Hardinge, Dean, but former chairman of Pharmacology, shared this classic statement: “Drug action always represents artificial inter-ference with the natural functioning of the organism. In the widest sense of the word, every drug is by definition a poison. Pharmacology and toxicology are one and the art of medicine is to use these poisons beneficially.” Drill’s Textbook of Pharmacology in Medicine. Chapter 5: Mechanisms of Drug Action.

10. Two personal experiences, the ugly and good. My wife got a bladder infection and since I had retired she asked her doctor for an Rx. He did and it cured her infection in 2-3 days and she stopped the drug. A few months later she had a rash. Her MD did a blood test and referred her to a hematologist who put her in the hospital for a bone marrow exam. No platelets. Maybe the spleen was overactive—he took it out and she got high steroids and transfusions—she died of a stroke (brain hemorrhage). A Physician’s Desk Reference (PDR) showed the antibiotic she took could cause platelet problems.

By contrast, I’ve been a vegetarian mostly since I became a teenager and took one Rx for intestinal flu when on a trip and didn’t want to stop at every gas station. I’m 80 with trips to the bathroom every night, but I can live with that and don’t see anything else coming for me. I’d recommend true healthcare seen on the video and explained in the companion book at http://HealthHappinessDestiny.com/blog-2
