Being curious and an analyst, I like my role of a consultant, studying how
things work. I am interested in the relationships within, trying to figure
out what variables are important to preserve and grow, what variables are
fluff that we could remove without losing anything and what variables are
working counter to the overall objective so they can be removed for a net
gain. All my work involves my intent of making an overall positive
contribution. My interest has been mostly in business, marketing,
information and consumer research.
A number of years ago as a hobby I became interested in complimentary and
alternative medicine. Following Dr. Andrew Weil on PBS, I became interested
in integrative medicine, i. e., consider everything and use what you think
would be appropriate to the situation.
Along the way I was fascinated with the placebo, a fake medicine or
procedure that contributes to healing. While most doctors will admit it has
healing power, no one seems to understand it, except that it is pretty well
accepted that beliefs and expectations are associated with it. If you read
the links along the bottom of GoodSamIAm you will see that I began to
realize most types of medicine throughout time in the East and West medicine
seemed to do some good and there was a common denominator between all of
them.
At first we thought the active information ingredient in the placebo was
compassion, then we realized the placebo is the medical term for compassion.
Finally we learned that compassion, which is created subjectively with our
mind, is the common denominator and used in all types of healing.
Modern medicine is an exception in that the placebo is generally positioned
as a negative, subtracted and discredited. Modern medicine is currently
allopathic medicine, which is mostly composed of drugs and invasive
procedures, but also x-rays, scanners, hospitals, clinics, devices -- all
objective and physical in support of the physician.
Along my journey I have been surprised to read about negatives associated
with allopathy. I read people were getting maimed and killed from taking
drugs the way prescribed but I figured it was a tiny group for each pill and
invasive procedure. Medical researchers, studying patient groups that
followed the physicians’ recommendations versus the groups that did not,
learned that the groups following the recommendations faired no better and
maybe worse than those that did not follow the recommendations. While I had
difficulty believing them I filed them in the back of my mind. It is
difficult to be in a society dominated by allopathy and to believe and
accept there could be anything wrong with it, but I tried to keep an open
mind.
Then I came across the research that indicated the death rates decreased
during strikes of doctors and other medical workers, only to return to where
they were after the strikes. And it happened in seven of seven cases in four
countries during a forty-year period. I came across a very well done study
in Australia showing that the more general practitioners per 10,000 people
the more deaths there were; the less GPs the fewer deaths there were. A
medical researcher I respect, Gary Null, Ph.D., made an extensive study of
allopathic medicine in the U.S. and determined allopathy is contributing
more negatives than positives, so it is responsible for more injuries and
deaths than anything else. I remembered the conversations I had with
executives and non-executives in drug and drug related companies about what
they called drug safety. Everyone with whom I talked admitted to how unsafe
drugs and procedures were. I decided to summarize what I had been filing.
Allopathic Medicine's Secret -- The
Truth
Without knowing, I was going down two paths at the same time. One was
leading to The Compassion Theory of Healing & Health. The other was leading
to showing how dangerous allopathy is. It was difficult for me to believe
allopathy could be so dangerous so I began talking with people and began to
realize there seemed to be an illusion in modern medicine in which
compassion was helping people but because it was invisible people did not
know the degree it was working positively and how much it was hiding the
toxic drugs and dangers of unnecessary invasive surgery. Here is a the
essence of a short conversation I had with a friend, who worked it out with
me. The Allopathic Medicine
Illusion
Finally, I thought about everything and tried to summarize what has happened
with allopathy in the past fifty years.
Allopathic Medicine: Tested and False
It is difficult for me to believe where the findings have led me. It
certainly was not intentional. Finally, it saddens me to learn that any
organization of people is doing the opposite of its intent. And I cannot
forget the feelings from the meeting with the woman working in the drug
company, saying, "It is too difficult for people in our industry to say the
obvious, 'My work is killing some of the people it is supposed to be
helping.'"
My new research and paper on the subject is as
follows:
SSE 2006
Paper: MODERN MEDICINE: AN ILLUSION.
Here is an interesting forum for which I
have been doing some writing:
Dangerous Medicine.
Once again I would like to stress that compassion coming from a physician
feels so good and physicians appearing after an accident to say everything
is going to be all right, we cannot do without.
