Surgery is the basis of traditional western medicine. We can say that there is a philosophy, when in doubt, cut it out. The burning question: “If any part of the body is not needed, then why does it exist from the very beginning of human existence?” Think about it - if the part of the body was not for a specific purpose, the human body would not have developed with it in tact. The idea of Western medicine is based on the language used by doctors and researchers. Their choice of words reveals their belief systems and models that they use to understand how they think about medicine.
Western medicine perceives the human body as a battlefield where wars are waged against invaders and tumors. What they do not understand is that the diseases are not separate from the person. In fact, each disease can more accurately be called an expression of the patient's lifestyle, beliefs and energies. Cancer is not a tumor, for example: it is a systemic disorder that can actually be cured by helping to support the body, rather than attacking it with chemical bombs. A tumor is only one physical expression of a systemic disorder, and simply removing a tumor does nothing to cure a disease.
The approach of Western medicine to cancer has focused on getting rid of physical symptoms — cutting out tumors with sharp instruments or trying to shrink tumors with chemotherapy. But a critical analysis of these methodologies shows that treating tumors does little or no way to actually improve the quality of life or life expectancy of cancer patients.
The body is meant to be cured, provided it has the proper support to do its work. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is based on the concept of balanced chi (expressed chi) or vital energy, which is believed to flow through the body. Qi is proposed to regulate the spiritual, emotional, mental and physical balance of a person and is influenced by the opposing forces of yin (negative energy) and yang (positive energy). It is assumed that the disease occurs due to the fact that the flow of qi is disturbed, and yin and yang become unbalanced. The TCM components include herbal and nutritional therapies, restorative exercise, meditation, acupuncture and therapeutic massage.
The most common operations are:
Tonsillectomy: Usually performed in children under the age of twelve, this operation has decreased from one million to 250,000 a year, when evidence was obtained that tonsillectomy does not stop stress infections and can actually cause Parkinson’s disease later in life.
Myringotomies: Inserting tiny tubes to prevent recurrent ear infections, usually in children under five years of age. This procedure has increased by 250% since the 80s and is the sixth most common in the US
Cataract removal: In 1993, the Agency for Health Policy and Research warned that many cataract surgeries or cloud lenses are not needed. In these cases, turbidity probably reduced visual acuity, but not enough to disturb the patient. Despite the warning, the number of cataract surgeries continued to grow — an increase that far outpaced the growth of the elderly population.
Low back surgery: Between 1983 and 1994, the number of operations for low back pain increased from 190,000 to 335,000 a year. In 2003, about 31 million visits were made to doctors because of back problems, including more than 10 million visits for low back problems. (National Center for Health Statistics, National Outpatient Medical Care Survey, 2000) Using all three possible reason codes for visits; data extracted and analyzed by the Department of Research and Research AAOS.) Back pain is the second leading reason for visiting patients by their primary care physician; up to 90% of people suffer from this at least once in their adult lives. A recent review of related research in the journal Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation has shown that the highest level of posterior surgery in developed countries is in the United States, with the most common surgical procedure for the lower spinal cord being a disc herniation.
After these statistics, back pain can be cured, the cause of back pain is associated with an emotional wound. Link: heal your body, Louise L. Hey
Removal of the gallbladder: Ten years ago, surgeons developed a laparoscopy method for removing gallbladder stones. This procedure uses miniature instruments and an illuminated tube, equipped with a video camera, all inserted through tiny abdominal incisions. Since the advent of laparoscopy, the number of operations of the gallbladder has increased by 40 percent. A study of 54,000 gallbladder surgeries in Pennsylvania found that the number of surgeries in patients with or without minimal symptoms increased by more than 50 percent. Accordingly, laparoscopy has convinced some doctors to prevent pain before it occurs. Ten percent of Americans have gallstones, and most of them never develop significant symptoms.
Hysterectomy: The uterus is removed from each of three women - 500,000 per year. A few years ago, the RAND Corporation, a non-profit research group, found the dubious rationale for at least 25 percent of these hysterectomies and had no justification for at least another 16 percent. Since then, little has changed.
Hysterectomy creates scar tissue that can ever cause intestinal obstruction. Loss of the uterus - and of the cervix, which is often removed, can also reduce sexual pleasure. In addition, surgeons remove about half of all hysterectomy ovaries. The ovaries are the main source of the female hormone estrogen and male androgens. After removal of the ovaries before a woman’s menopause, loss of estrogen causes premature menopausal symptoms and clearly increases the risk of developing coronary diseases and osteoporosis. After the removal of a woman's ovaries, the loss of androgens can lead to a decrease in sexual pleasure due to a decrease in sexual desire. The loss of the ovaries and uterus accelerates the need for prescription drugs to replace estrogen and androgens. These drugs often cause cancer.
Caesarean section: “C-section” is the most common major surgery performed in 20% of the genera. Down a decade ago, it exceeds the estimated 12-14%, which is considered medically sound.
Most of the C-sections are made because labor is developing too slowly - this is a poor rationale for a large operation. A caesarean section is performed in about three-quarters of women who have previously had a procedure. 90% of these women could safely receive vaginal delivery. Continuous electronic monitoring of the fetal heart rate, used by almost three-quarters of all births, is part of the problem. He triplets the chance of a caesarean section, choosing warning signs that are often normal. Continuous monitoring does not protect the infant better than intermittent electronic or even old-fashioned stethoscopic monitoring.
Sleep apnea surgery: snoring is usually caused by an intermittent obstacle at the back of the throat. In severe cases, called sleep apnea, airflow to the lungs is completely blocked for up to 90 seconds at a time. As a result, oxygen deprivation increases the risk of hypertension, coronary heart disease and stroke.
Jaw Pain Surgery: Millions of people suffer from pain in the muscles or joints in the jaw, often caused by strained muscles, clenching or grinding of teeth, or chewing too heavy. Some dentists prescribe aggressive, costly procedures to align teeth or jaws, including braces, caps and crowns, of course, grinding teeth and operations on the jaw. These steps, especially operations, are rarely necessary and often ineffective.
Unlike the AMA's 250,000 medical deaths per year report, the Institute of Nutrition of America (NIA), a non-profit, non-partisan organization, reported on health problems for almost 30 years, reported that more than 784,000 people die every year due to medical errors. Comparatively, the annual death rate from cardiovascular diseases in 2001 was 699,697, and cancer - 553,251.
Every year, more than 2.2 million people are injured only by prescription. More than 20 million unnecessary prescriptions for antibiotics are prescribed for viral infections. The report shows that 7.5 million unnecessary medical and surgical procedures are performed annually, and 8.9 million people are hospitalized uselessly. Based on these results, it is obvious that there is an urgent need for a major overhaul of the American medical system.
The findings, described as a “revelation” by Martin Feldman, MD, who helped provide unforgettable evidence, are the result of the first comprehensive studies on iatrogenic accidents.
Caroline Dean, MD and author, who helped uncover the results, said: "I was completely shocked, surprised and alarmed when I first collected all the statistics on medical death and saw how much allopathic medicine had betrayed us." See Articles about metaphysical healing.
