- SANDPOINT - Last St. Patrick's
Day, Sandpoint Chiropractor Blaze Welch gave a lecture on how to "get
off of the disease scary-go-round at the Gardenia Center here. The purpose
of the talk, which was sponsored by the North Idaho chapter of Vaccination
Liberation, was to teach people that they are responsible for their own
health. Dr. Welch also discussed figures from right out of the Journal
of the American Medical Association (JAMA) which prove, through accurate
interpretations of their own words, that in the last century we chose the
wrong fork in the road with regard to our health care paradigm.
-
- Most people have been conditioned to believe in what
is called the "germ theory of disease -- that germs cause disease.
The truth is that germs (bacteria) are everywhere and they are attracted
to and proliferate in dis-eased tissues.
-
- Bacteria decompose dead matter. That is their job. For
instance, when a tree dies, bacteria come in and eat the tree and it eventually
becomes soil. Bacteria does not eat a live, healthy tree. The same thing
is true in people -- bacteria are attracted to dead matter. Therefore,
if you have dead matter in your body, bacteria will come in and get to
work decomposing the dead tissue so that it may eventually become soil.
-
- In the mid 1800s, western medical science had the choice
of going one of two ways. Bechamp's theory of disease maintained that every
living thing has arisen from the microzyma (the "fundamental unit
of the corporate organism) and "every living thing is reducible to
the microzyma.
-
- Bechamp believed that microzymas secrete fermentative
substances that aid in digestion in a healthy body and evolve into bacteria
when they encounter dead or damaged cells.
-
- Pasteur's germ theory of disease maintained that diseases
come into our bodies and make germs that we must fight so that we may be
rid of them. J.I. Rodale explained Pasteur's "germ theory of disease
by stating that, "Germs live in the air, every once in awhile get
into a human body, multiply and cause illness. Nothing to it at all. All
you have to do is kill germs and disease is licked.
-
- Bechamp's theory placed all of the responsibility of
disease prevention on the individual and his lifestyle. In a practical
sense, there was no money in that and people would be empowered with the
ability to resist dis-ease by taking care of themselves.
-
- Western medical science went with Pasteur's theory because
it opened the door which created the world's medical and pharmaceutical
industries. Since the 1850s, we have been developing new drugs to attack
and kill the disease invaders and the result has been epidemics of cancers
and sicknesses and diseases -- and a very rich and powerful pharmaceutical
industry.
-
- "Last year, commented Dr. Welch, "the pharmaceutical
industry did $182 billion in drug sales world wide. In contrast to that
figure, it cost approximately $183 billion to treat adverse reactions from
all of those drugs, said Dr. Welch.
-
- Dr. Welch read off some statistics which should cause
concern to anybody who sees an allopathic doctor, has medical insurance
or may end up in the hospital someday. Again, the following admissions
were taken from JAMA:
-
- The top five causes of death in the United States, in
order, are: Tobacco, alcohol, medical malpractice, traffic and firearms.
-
- According to JAMA, doctors kill more people than auto
accidents and guns. With that in mind, one has to wonder why gun control
is such a hot legislative issue when, perhaps, we should be more concerned
about doctor control.
-
- "The number of people that doctors kill per day
from medical malpractice is roughly equal to the amount of people that
would die if every day, three jumbo jets crashed and killed everybody on
board, commented Dr. Welch who added, in defense of his own profession,
"just imagine what headlines would result if a chiropractor or a naturopath
accidentally killed just one patient?
-
- Another JAMA statistic stated that 1/5 (20 percent) of
all people who see an allopath will suffer an "iatrogenic (doctor-induced)
injury.
-
- Again, according to JAMA, 16 percent of all people who
die in the hospital are determined by autopsy to have died of something
other than their admission diagnosis. In other words, the doctor had no
idea what was really wrong with the patient and, therefore, the patient
may have died for want of appropriate care that would have been subsequent
to an accurate diagnosis.
-
- Another trade publication, American Medical News, stated
that 28 percent of people admitted to hospitals are there because they
have suffered an adverse reaction to prescribed drugs.
-
- "We are miserably losing the battle against viruses
and bacteria. Antibiotics do not work. We need to take a different tack
because this is obviously not working, said Dr. Welch.
-
- Dr. Welch made numerous practical and logical observations
throughout his lecture. One of them is so obvious that it deserves mention
here. "When there is an epidemic of, say, pertussis in a school and
14 of 200 kids get sick, who gets studied? he asked.
-
- The answer, of course, is that the sick kids get studied.
They get studied by the county health district and the health district
accumulates its data and then tells the newspapers about the epidemic of
sickness and everybody then flocks down to the health district or goes
to see their doctor to get vaccinated.
-
- "Would it not be more appropriate to study the 186
kids that did not get sick? asked Dr. Welch.
-
- Dr. Welch also read a quote from the British Medical
Journal which states that only one percent of all scientific research papers
which explore medicine are scientifically sound.
-
- So, if that is true, then not only are allopathic doctors
incorrect in their understanding of the basic nature of disease, they are
basing 99 percent of their conclusions, and therefore their diagnosis and
treatment of people, on flawed science.
