HOW IS OUR ‘OLD’ HEALTH & MEDICAL SYSTEM

CONTRIBUTING TO OUR ECO-DISINTEGRATION?

.

Let’s explore the answers, using the help of

Eco-Paradigms you printed in PDF Format earlier, titled:

THE ‘OLD’ MEDICAL DISEASE TREATMENT

PARADIGM

THE ‘BOLD’ NATURAL HEALTH & WELLNESS

PARADIGM

 

THERE IS AN EPEDEMIC

of disease in our country.

People of all ages are dependent upon and addicted to prescription and over-the-counter

drugs to function.

are the 4th leading cause of human death in the

USA.But, it’s not just humans who are hurt by drugs...

PHARMACEUTICALS

DRUGS ARE INVADING EVERY ECO-SYSTEM ON

THE PLANET

and changing the balance of life

on earth as we know it, as they FOUL the land, air,

and water.

Many of us have been led to believe

expensive medical care is the answer to our health

problems

While health costs continue

to soar, the medical system is broken and in need of serious

repair!

 

MEDICAL DOCTORS

are responsible for the death of ¼ million people per year through so-called medical

treatments, including

unnecessary surgery,

medication errors, drug side

effects, and hospital

infections.

How, Exactly, do Conventional,

Mass Produced Drugs and Medical Treatments Lead to

theEco-Disintegration of Our Earth’s Living Ecology?

IS THE EARTH ‘BREATHING IN’

HOSPITAL WASTE? Hospitals are huge polluters. Each year

hospitals create more than two

million tons of waste, much of which is

considered hazardous, and send

it to specialized hospital waste incinerators.

THEY BURN IT… and we, along with all

living things, breathe it.

Incineration of hospital waste has long been a leading source

of deadly air pollutants including dioxin, mercury, and lead.

HOW POLLUTED ARE THE EARTH WATER SYSTEMS?

A U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 2002 found

numerous pharmaceuticals in our water supply including: antidepressants, synthetic hormones, antibiotics, pain killers, and blood pressure medications in rivers where

urban water treatment plants put treated household

wastewater.

How Do We QUANTIFY The Problem of

Man–Made Chemicals In Our Drinking Water?

The USGS/U.S. Geological Survey is continuing its study

to determine the effect on aquatic life of being exposed to

antibiotics and other drugs that end up in our waterways.

Tens of thousands of chemicals are IN the environment…

and we do not know exactly what effects they

have.But we have some

strong clues!

How Do Conventional, Mass-Produced Medical

Drugs Lead to the Potential Eco-Disintegration of Our Living Human Ecology?

Is Someone’s Excreted Prescription

Drugs in Your DRINKING

WATER? Pharmaceuticals,

once ingested, do not disappear into the body. With every toilet flush, these drugs and their

chemical byproducts enter surface and

ground water because water treatment plants are not

equipped to filter them out.

Besides the presence of drugs from the millions of prescriptions taken daily

across the country…

staff at health care facilities flush untold quantities of

unused medications down the toilet as well.

How Do Drugs such as Vaccines Interact with Our

Human Ecology? Vaccines, we are not told by the medical

establishment, contain substances that are not good for OUR BRAINS, such as mercury, MSG,

formaldehyde, aluminum and

ethylene glycol. (Source: Immunization Theory vs. Reality,

By Neil Z. Miller)

SOME RESEARCHERS SAY…

THE INCREASED INCIDENCE of serious brain, cardiovascular, metabolic and other disorders in

the past century coincide with laws requiring every infant to be

immunized soon after birth.

Did You Know?

The safety reform portion of this law requires doctors to provide parents with information about the benefits

and risks of reactions prior to vaccination, and to report vaccine injuries to federal health officials.

In 1986, Congress officially acknowledged the reality of vaccine caused injuries and

death by creating The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (Public Law 99-

660).

(Source: Immunization Theory vs. Reality,

By Neil Z. Miller)

To simplify and centralize this legal requisite, federal health officials

established the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), -operated by the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

(Source: Immunization Theory vs. Reality, By Neil Z. Miller)

Doctors are required BY LAW to report suspected cases of vaccine

damage

Why Are We Abusing ANTIBIOTICS?

Starting in childhood with treatment for ear

infections, most of us take antibiotics an average of once a year for a variety

of conditions. Even though antibiotics do not work on viruses, 90% of antibiotics prescriptions are for sore throats and colds caused by viruses.

Not only does continual exposure to antibiotics

encourage bacteria to develop resistant strains…

it also weakens the immune system so people who take

antibiotics frequently, have the potential to

become sick more frequently as well.

THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE TAKING DRUGS IS

ESCALATING! 1 in 4 American Seniors take at

least 5 prescription

medications for conditions

ranging from heart disease, to

diabetes, to depression.

With prescription medicines being

ROUTINELY ADVERTISED ON TELEVISION

the number of people (old and young alike) taking a variety of medications

has gone way up!

Why Does Our Culture Rely So Heavily on Prescription Drugs to

Treat its Social Ills?

Since 2001, there has been a 25% increase in abuse of

sedatives and barbiturates among 12th-graders.

Abuse of illegal drugs,

especially OxyContin and Vicodin pain

relievers,

are highly addictive, according to the

National Institute on Drug Abuse.

DO OUR NATION’S SCHOOLS

CONTRIBUTE TO‘DRUG ABUSE’

IN OUR CULTURE? How do you feel about Ritalin being legalized in our school system when other dangerous drugs

are not?

Do you find it interesting that our schools have committed to funding

anti-drug initiatives, such as D.A.R.E. (the public school system’s national drug resistance education program) but they make mental

health drugs compulsory for children attending school?!

Ritalin use, according to Dr. Erwin Gemmer, a

widely respected natural health practitioner, may

cause children to experience insomnia,

nightmares, hallucinations,

nervousness, anxiety, weight loss, and nausea, to name only a few symptoms.

More alarming, Gemmer says, is the potential for Ritalin to stunt the

body’s growth and/or cause skull and cerebral cortex wasting.

Did you know that Ritalin is banned in other countries,

but not the US?

The profits that U.S. drug companies stand to make when they mass-market Ritalin is astronomical!
