"The chemical drugs so freely prescribed by practitioners of allopathic medicine relieve the overt symptoms of disease, particularly pain, but do nothing to eliminate the root causes, which often are hidden far from the symptoms.

People easily grow dependent on these drugs, using them continuously until they develop a tolerance to them, then switching to stronger chemicals. Often the drugs themselves further aggravate the condition, or cause other ailments in related organ-energy systems. The next step is surgery.

Antibiotics, which are potent immunosuppressants, are prescribed for dozen of common ailments. In the process of killing the bacteria for which they are prescribed, they also kill off all the 'friendly' lactobacteria in your intestines, severely impairing digestion and assimilation of nutrients at a time when your body needs them most.

Lactobacteria are the only elements in the body which keep candida and other harmful yeast infections under control, so whenever you take a course of antibiotics, candida have a field day and spread like wildfire throughout your system. A primary effect of candida infection is suppression of the immune system, which means that the very drug you're taking to combat disease is impairing your only natural defence against it.

Antibiotics rob you of vital nutrients, thereby further aggravating whatever condition you're taking them for. Among the many nutrients they destroy are vitamin B12, B6, B1, vitamin K, folic acid, iron, calcium, and magnesium.

When taken in combination with corticosteroids, which are frequently prescribed for all sorts of ailments, they knock the immune system out cold.

During the 1970's, a combination of antibiotics, especially tetracycline, and corticosteroids was popularly taken by gay males prior to visiting the notorious bath houses of San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York. They did this in the mistaken belief that it would protect them from contracting skin and venereal diseases. It was among frequent visitors to the gay bath houses of these three cities that AIDS was first identified, the primary symptom and cause of death being  P. Carnii pneumonia.

In the December 1984 issue of Infection and Immunity, Peter Walzer reported: 'Rats administered corticosteroids, a low-protein diet, and tetracycline spontaneously developed P. Carnii pneumonia within about eight weeks through a mechanism of reactivation of latent infection.' Low-protein diets are common among drug users, because drugs, including antibiotics, impair the digestive system's capacity to break down and process complex proteins, which are the primary dietary sources of the amino acids the body needs to produce enzymes, white blood cells, hormones, and other immune factors.

In light of the evidence against antibiotics, you should think twice before using them, and when you do, you should increase your daily dosage of vitamin and mineral supplements to replenish lost nutrients and also take a supplemental source of lactobacteria such as Rejuvelac to restore friendly intestinal flora destroyed by the antibiotics.

The drugs commonly prescribed for high blood pressure are another example of so-called 'cures' that aggravate the condition they are supposed to eliminate.

Normal blood pressure depends in part on adequate supplies of the minerals potassium, magnesium, and sodium in the blood.

The drugs prescribed for this condition promote rapid urinary excretion of the these very minerals, thereby prolonging the problem and causing continued dependency on the drugs.

Several studies have shown that people with moderately high blood pressure who take no drugs at all for the condition liver longer than those who take the prescribed drugs.

 Arthritis medications are another case in point.

Arthritis is often caused by intestinal toxins that are absorbed into the bloodstream by osmosis through weak sections of the intestinal walls. In order to prevent these toxins from polluting the bloodstream, the blood deposits them in joints, where they accumulate, form crystals, and cause arthritis.

Commonly prescribed arthritis medications such as aspirin have long been known to cause intestinal bleeding, thereby further weakening the intestinal walls and permitting even more toxins to seep from the intestines into the bloodstream. This further aggravates the arthritis, driving the patient to even more of these drugs for symptomatic relief. The primary causes of stomach and intestinal bleeding in hospital emergency-room cases in the USA are the drugs prescribed for arthritis.

And the stories go on and on...

Virtually all children in the West these days are inoculated with vaccines which doctors claim will protect from polio, diphtheria, measles, and other dangerous diseases. However, in his book Medical Nemesis, Ivan Illich reported:

The combined death rate from scarlet fever, diphtheria, whooping cough and measles among children up to fifteen shows that nearly 90% of the total decline in mortality between 1860 and 1965 had occurred before the introduction of antibiotics and widespread immunization... By far the most important factor was a higher host-resistance due to better nutrition."

And the stories go on and on... get the book.
