Eighteen doctors speak out:
Not all physicians are caught up in the idea that the only good medicines are ones that can also
be harmful. Here are some comments by physicians, themselves, on the practice of medicine.
Quote:
“Every educated physician knows that most diseases are not appreciably helped by medicine.”
Richard C. Cabot, M.D. Professor Harvard School of Medicine; Author of Differential Diagnosis, The Art of Ministering to the Sick, and other books.
Quote:
“The cause of most disease is in the poisonous drugs physicians superstitiously give in order to effect a cure.”
Charles E. Page, M.D.
Quote:
“Medicines are of subordinate importance because of their very nature, they can only work symptomatically.”
Hans Kusche, M.D.
Quote:
“The person who takes medicine must recover twice, once from the disease and once from the
medicine.”
William Osler, M.D.
Quote:
“If all the medicine in the world were thrown into the sea, it would be bad for the fish and good for humanity”
O.W. Holmes, M.D. American Poet, Professor of Medicine, Dartmouth College and Harvard University
Quote:
“Drug medications consist in employing, as remedies for disease, those things which produce
disease in well persons. Its materia medica is simply a lot of drugs or chemicals or dye
-stuffs — in a word poisons. All are incompatible with vital matter; all produce disease when brought in contact in any manner with the living; all are poisons.”
R.T. Trail, M.D. Author of The True Healing Art and other books. Quote from a lecture to members of Congress and the medical profession, Smithsonian Institute, Washington D.C.
Quote:
”Every drug increases and complicates the patients condition.”
Robert Henderson, M.D.
Quote:
“The greatest part of all chronic disease is created by the suppression of acute disease by drug poisoning.”
Henry Lindlahr, M.D. Author of Diagnostic Methods, Nature Cure: Philosophy and Practice, Natural Therapeutics, and other books.
Quote:
“Medicine is only palliative, for back of disease lies the cause, and this cause no drug can
reach.”
Wier Mitchel, M.D.
Quote:
“Medical practice has neither philosophy nor common sense to recommend it. In sickness the
body is already loaded with impurities. By taking drug–medicines more impurities are added,
thereby the case is further embarrassed and harder to cure.”
Elmer Lee, M.D.
Past Vice President, Academy of Medicine.
Quote:
“Our figures show approximately four and one half million hospital admissions annually due to
the adverse reactions to drugs. Further, the average hospital patient has as much as thirty
percent chance, depending how long he is in, of doubling his stay due to adverse drug
reactions.”
Milton Silverman, M.D. Professor of Pharmacology, University of California. Author, The Drugging of America, Prescription for Death, and other books.
Quote:
“What hope is there for medical science to ever become a true science when the entire structure
of medical knowledge is built around the idea that there is an entity called disease which can be
expelled when the right drug is found?”
John H. Tilden, M.D. Author of Impaired Health, Etiology, Hygiemic, and Dietetic Treatment of Appendicitis, and other books and articles.
Quote:
“We are prone to thinking of drug abuse in terms of the male population and illicit drugs such as heroin, cocaine, and marijuana. It may surprise you to learn that a greater problem exists with
millions of women dependent on legal prescription drugs.”
Robert Mendelsohn, M.D. Chairman, Illinois State Medical Licensing Board, Author of Confessions of a Medical Heretic, How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor, and
other books.
Quote:
“Why would a patient swallow a poison because he is ill, or take that which would make a well
man sick.”
L.F. Kebler, M.D. Author of Technical Drug Studies, Medicated Soft Drinks, and other works.
Quote:
“Drugs never cure disease. They merely hush the voice of nature’s protest, and pull down the
danger signals she erects along the pathway of transgression. Any poison taken into the system
has to be reckoned with later on even though it palliates present symptoms. Pain may disappear,
but the patient is left in a worse condition, though unconscious of it at the time.”
Daniel. H. Kress, M.D. Author of The Cost to Society of Cigarettes: A Century of Analysis, Ulcers and Smoking, and other books.
Quote:
“There are over 10 million adverse reactions yearly from FDA - approved over - the
-counter and prescription drugs. We are not talking about mild nausea or headaches. Between 60,000 and
140,000 people die each year from adverse drug reactions. Each year, more Americans die after
taking prescription drugs than died in the entire Vietnam war. Over half the drugs approved by
the FDA since 1976 were later found to be much more toxic than previously thought. Several had
to be removed from the market.”
Julian Whitaker, M.D. Author of Reversing Heart Disease, Guide to Natural Healing, The Heart Surgery Trap, and other books.
Quote:
“There are significant efforts by insurance companies to exclude preventive health care and
education and the use of natural, inexpensive remedies, while ignoring the benefits of nutrition.
At the same time they pay huge medical claims to hospitals for surgery and pharmaceutical
products. There is an unwritten agreement between hospitals and insurance providers to
reimburse the hospitals for services performed in hospitals – to scratch each other’s back –
so to speak. There is a hidden agenda in this. If insurance providers pay hospitals for patients’ medical claims, then at the end of the year the insurance companies can go to the state insurance commissions with their track records and request a premium increase. A premium increase translates into more profit for the insurance carriers as well as the hospitals.”
Terry S. Friedmann, M.D. Author of Freedom Through Health and other publications. Cofounder and Board Member, American Holistic Medical Association.
Quote:
“The necessity of teaching mankind not to take drugs and medicines, is a duty incumbent upon
all who know their uncertainty and injurious effects; and the time is not far distant when the
drug system will be abandoned.”
Charles Armbruster, M.D.
