The entire approach and foundation of Orthodox Medicine is based on Luis
Pasteur's Germ Theory, a flawed concept. A disease condition is viewed by the
orthodoxy as an isolated event, confined to the area in which it manifests itself (E.g.
an ear infection, eye infection, gum infection, lung cancer, skin cancer, diabetes,
heart disease, etc. ). Under this theory, for unknown reasons, microbes or tumors
indiscriminately grow in the patient and must be cut (surgery), burned (radiation),
or poisoned (drugs) out of the body. In the orthodox model, the solution is sought
through mechanical and chemical means. Seeking to understand WHY the infection
or disease condition appeared in the first place, is not explored. The quick fix with a
prescription for drugs to smother the symptoms is the typical orthodox 'answer'.
A contemporary of Pasteur, Antoine Bechamp, had a different opinion as to why
disease conditions 'took hold'. Bechamp felt that the ENVIRONMENT, or the
ECOLOGY of the blood played the critical role in deciding whether disease
conditions would manifest or not.
It is important to discover the stressors (environmental, biological, chemical,
psychological, and emotional) in a patient's life that cause a weakening of a
particular bodily system; which in turn allows the manifestation of a disease
condition in a weakened area. In order to maintain a state of health, all systems
within the body need to exist in a state of balance or equilibrium. Imbalance leads
to conditions of discomfort (dis-ease) which eventually spirals into ill health if not
corrected.
The Chinese and Indians (Ayurvedic medicine) had worked all of this out
thousands of years ago.
Orthodox or Allopathic Medicine utilizes poisonous substances (drugs) in non-lethal
dosages in order to suppress symptoms in an affected area. This approach neither
addresses the cause of the disease condition, nor is it responsible for healing the
patient. Rather, the use of drugs often will temporarily mask the outer
manifestations of the malady, while at the same time, drive the disease deeper into
the body...only to reappear at a later date, as a more serious, and chronic health
threat. One of the many flaws of the orthodox approach is that it focuses on the
disease condition itself, rather than the patient. The term holistic (or holistic)
originally sprang up to distinguish those physicians whose diagnostic methods
consider all of the physical and emotional factors interacting with the patient.
Why is medicine these days so concerned about the symptoms, why do we have so
many drugs for so many diseases? Every year there is a thousand new diseases
added to the list. It’s because treating the symptom is much more profitable for the
billion dollar drug companies than curing the cause.
