If You Want to Get Better Don't Go to the Doctor

The leading cause of death in America is cardiovascular disease. The second leading cause is cancer.

These observations would come as no surprise to most people, but they might be startled to learn that the third leading killer is, as reported by The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), none other than mainstream medicine itself.

In 2000 JAMA reported that 225,000 deaths per year were caused by doctors through the adverse effects of prescription drugs and surgery, errors in medical judgment, and by hospital-induced infections.

One is better off, when at all possible, avoiding mainstream medicine because its ideal patient is a chronically ill one. This person is "dis-eased." He is unable, unprepared, or unwilling to enlist his body in the healing process. And so he is trapped in the healthcare system.

This person then becomes a customer for life - and often an ideal one, as some hapless third party (you and me) ends up footing the bill.

This reality will bankrupt our healthcare system, which, in turn, will bankrupt our country.
