 N H S: The sixty-year legacy of Modern Medicine
In 1948, a group of well-meaning but seriously misinformed individuals founded the British National Health Service in the belief that the public’s easy access to the rapidly-emerging Wonders of Modern Medicine would lead to a healthy nation and reduced NHS spending. In 1950, the NHS cost around £350 million : the monetary-inflationary equivalent of this, today, is less than £9 billion. In 2008, the national disease money-pit will swallow up in excess of £100 BILLION. The nation’s health is the worst it has been for sixty years, having deteriorated constantly and remorselessly since day-one. Almost one fifth of people of working age in the UK are disabled. According to the Office for National Statistics - Living in Britain survey,2004 : in 2002, 1 in 6 children under-5 were suffering from a long-standing illness, compared with one in 25 in 1972 : chronic conditions increased among 5 to 15-year-olds, from 1 in 12, 30 years previously to 1 in 5 in 2002 : a quarter of people aged 16 to 44 suffer from a long-term illness …Birth defects rose by 50% in the 5 years to 2002.
In 2002,1 in every 16 babies born in rural mid Devon had at least one defect compared with less than 1 in 630 babies born in Islington. Why ? BECAUSE ISLINGTON IS NOT CHOKED WITH PESTICIDES AND HERBICIDES WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN SCIENTIFICALLY EVALUATED FOR SAFETY. Stillbirths and first-week deaths have risen to over 5,300 per year. 50,000 premature babies are born, annually.
Over 1 billion prescriptions are now given out per year : with 22 million people on repeat prescriptions. Pharmaceuticals are at killer-number 3 or 4 position on both sides of the Atlantic. We have tens of thousands of new diseases. 40% - and rising - of the population have or will develop cancer… As there is nothing wrong with the concept of a nationalised health facility, this leaves the practice : Modern Medicine : Consensus Medicine to avoid litigation : medicine by the book, whether or not the treatment is useless or worse than useless : whatever the cost or consequences to the tax-payer or the patient : Modern Medicine would not survive in a court of science if it were ever so foolish as to enter such a place but it is not required to do so. Apart from its political friends, a small army of painfully-transparent on-the-payroll media plants, trying to pass themselves off as “science editors”, “medical correspondents”, “health writers” provide a regular supply of “medical breakthroughs” and regular attacks on what they call “alternative medicine.” £100 billion per year but YOU have to pay privately for safe, effective treatments which work WITH the body’s inherent healing ability : the ONLY way to become well. The Dept. of Health promotes, allows, fails to condemn virtually every health-destructive aspect of modern living : saturated fats, refined carbohydrates, pesticides, herbicides, vaccines, X-ray screening, mobile phones, microwave ovens, fluoride, aerosol air-fresheners, colourants, preservatives, aspartame, MSG … Treatments which should be used only as a last resort, when life-enhancing therapies have failed, are routinely the first choice. This government wants more screening, more vaccination, more water fluoridation: Gordon Brown said we need “new drugs and technologies” : putting out the fire with petrol. A health service, nationalised or otherwise, cannot be run on a basis of junk food, animal experiments, pharmaceuticals, radiation, invasive tests and conveyor-belt surgery. This would result in completely out-of-control expenditure and would create untold amounts of chronic, degenerative and, above all, iatrogenic disease : a medically-induced plague: which is precisely what we have now. FIRST DO NO HARM must replace FIRST AVOID LITIGATION. |
