Woe to those who are medical patients lying in hospital beds in the coming years.  Presently iatrogenic death (medically induced by doctor error) is the third highest cause of death in the U.S., only behind heart disease and cancer. The prestigious Institute of Medicine stunned the nation in November of 1999 when it announced that 98,000 patients were killed the previous year by medical mistakes. The institute did not attempt to determine how many injuries occurred as a result of these mistakes.

To make matters worse, most doctors' groups strongly oppose mandatory error reporting for fear it would only spur more lawsuits.  Their preference not to have Congress impose legal checks and balances is evidence of the entire system's lack of responsibility.  One can only imagine the potential for iatrogenic deaths and illnesses if and when the medical system becomes gridlocked.  In brief, there is great risk in the present day medical system.

Political attempts to socialize the entire U.S. medical system are fast approaching. When that day finally arrives, successful alternative medicine techniques will be integrated, banned, or hidden under a new system of government control. It is becoming more critical than ever for individuals and families to seek to become as medically self-sufficient as possible by implementing a strategy of prevention and preparation.

Of course, there are situations where the medical approach may be unavoidable. Trauma injuries, broken bones and critical care situations require medical intervention.  However, most people expect the medical approach to be the best choice for all of their maladies.  The truth is that there is almost always a non-medical alternative.  If the magnitude of medical mistakes is not enough to excite one to become medically self-sufficient, perhaps a basic understanding of the pre-set limitations of the medical system will be.

Regardless of the patient's needs, all medical treatments must meet three criteria before they can ever be used. They must be (1) monopolized, (2) expensive and (3) complex.  Unfortunately there are no available, inexpensive and simple medical treatments today.  It's apparently against the rules of conduct for modern medical practitioners to even believe an available, inexpensive and simple treatment has merit.  Is it a great wonder then why alternative medical treatments are so rapidly gaining in popularity?

Medical treatments are monopolized to control the servers, competitors and public.  In the U.S., the government works in conjunction with the AMA to control medical schools, doctors, hospitals, and procedures.  It is virtually impossible for a doctor to get and keep a medical license to practice without totally conforming to the AMA protocol. The government and FDA work to control anyone that dare try to compete with the pharmaceutical companies. The FDA stormtroopers eliminate any potential threats to their market share, regardless of the benefit to the public. This is why thousands of Americans have gone outside the country to benefit from valuable alternative therapies. The government, insurance companies, courts, IRS, and AMA all work together to control the public.  Most state laws force parents to submit their children who are diagnosed with cancer and other degenerative diseases to traditional medical treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy and drugs. There are many parents hiding their sick children while being hunted as fugitives because of the medical laws.

All states have laws that give the police the authority to have any individual arrested who is considered to be in neglect or may cause harm to himself.  This writer is personally aware of a Florida man who was arrested by the police for having a common anxiety attack.  While the man was traveling, he experienced car problems and drove into a motel parking lot.  Because of his appearance, a young employee thought he was suffering physically and secretly called for an ambulance. A policeman first arrived on the scene and questioned the man for about ten minutes.  The questioning however was of a criminal nature and created even more anxiety with which the man had to cope.  Even after the man had received a room key from the motel clerk, the policeman would not allow him to retire to his room. Instead, he told the man that he had a medical problem and must go with the paramedics.  Although the man explained he was merely fatigued and needed a good night's sleep, it was to no avail.  He was given the choice of going with the paramedics willingly or being arrested.  Because the man did not willingly comply with the police officer and consent to being taken to the hospital, the police took his motel room key away from him.   He was then arrested, forced to lie on a stretcher, his wrist and ankles were taped to the rails, and he was taken to a hospital.  Less than four hours later he was released from the hospital and caught a cab back to the same motel.  Although he had been forced to submit to a cat scan and other needless test, the written doctor's report only suggested that he eat regular meals and get some rest, exactly what he had initially intended to do. The police report justified the arrest by claiming the man appeared to need assistance. Although he refused all tests and signed no hospital papers, several weeks later he received $2,901.25 of medical bills.

The medical system has many ways to legally extort money from the public.  Simply put, medical treatments are all expensive because that's where the money is.  The medical establishment has built a feeder system network of doctors, servers, insurance companies, hospital, pharmaceuticals companies, social services, and charitable trust and government agencies.  It has no intentions of dismantling them.

Medical treatments must be complex in order to keep the patient in a state of wonderment.  Bernard Jensen D.C., put it best when he said: "Modern practice is proving to us more conclusively every day that man, in his complex structure, is very incompletely understood in spite of our advances in science. Certainly we are becoming increasingly aware that a faulty premise underlies a method which must first determine the name of a disease, classify it according to its symptomatology, then treat it on the basis of the symptoms. This method of diagnosis, when finished, deals with effects only; and in describing and naming a million and one symptoms from the few basic causes of a disease, a complex procedure is established."

What would happen if the medical specialist studied the few basic causes of disease and treated them accordingly? The answer is that his treatment would be simple.  In fact, in almost all cases his remedy would always be the same.

PREVENTION The first step in prevention is to eliminate anything from entering into the body that causes harm, such as a poison.  The second step is to cleanse the body internally. The third step is to nourish the body.  Those who truly seek to be medically self-sufficient should seek to prevent health problems by applying these simple three steps.

Cleaning the Body Avoid Poisons A poison is an obstruction, toxin or any substance which is foreign to the body, which the body cannot use in any way for life-maintaining purposes, which in fact are detrimental to the body, costing the body energy and nutrition to deal with them.  When poisons are consumed, the body attempts to eliminate them.   This elimination process is done by stimulation.  Stimulation is sometimes a false feeling of well-being.  It is a delusion because one may feel good temporarily without realizing the harm occurring in his body.  Symptoms are the body's effort at elimination or dealing with poisons.  Pain could be considered one's friend, because it is the messenger warning us to eliminate the cause of the problem.  We can be poisoned from the air we breathe or what is absorbed into the skin, but most often it is from what we choose to eat or drink.

Clean Your Environment Hulda Clark, Ph.D., author of The Cure for All Cancers, encourages people to store all common household cleaning products outside, away from their house to prevent breathing the out gases from them.  Her research reveals that all cancers are alike and are caused when a parasite, the human intestinal fluke gets into the liver.  She states that 100% of cancer patients have the solvent propyl alcohol accumulated in the liver and in their cancerous tissues.  People without cancer do not have propyl alcohol accumulated in the liver.  Propyl alcohol is also found in cleaning products, cosmetics, shampoos, hair sprays, rubbing alcohol, mouthwash, and shaving supplies.  She suggests these items be replaced with non-toxic, biodegradable ones, which do not contain propyl alcohol.

Several years ago the skull and cross bones warning symbol suddenly disappeared from dangerous products and was replaced with printed warning labels.   Approximately 5,000,000 small children who can't read are being seriously poisoned each year from common household products in the U.S.   It is important to know the real reason for warning labels is not to protect the consumer, but to protect the manufacture against legal recourse.

Avoid Chemicals in Packaged Foods The food industry has convinced the general public to consume their processed foods packaged in poison regardless of the warning labels.  Perhaps the most disturbing information revealing why disease is rampant in the modern world is because of the chemical poisons in process foods, and drinks, which are, know as excitotoxins.  Excitotoxins are substances added to foods and beverages that literally stimulate neurons to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees. They can be found in such ingredients as monosodium glutamate, aspartame, cysteine, hydrolyzed protein and aspartic acid.  In his book titled Exicitotoxins, the Taste that Kill, Russell L Blaylock, M.D., describes how damaging and addicting these substances are to the human brain and body.  He offers scientific evidence of their role in aggravation and precipitation many of the neurodegenerative brain diseases, such as Parkinson's, Huntington's, ALS and Alzheimer's disease.  Excitotoxins have no other role in the food process other than to stimulate taste and create addictions.  They are most dangerous to babies, yet they are frequently found in popular baby foods.  Blaylock's political findings regarding the FDA--which allows these substances to be marketed while blatantly disregarding the growing evidence of the link of degenerative brain diseases--is disturbing.

Drink Pure Water As the modern world becomes congested with toxic chemicals pure water becomes an increasingly more valuable commodity.  The importance of recognizing and consuming quality water is vital in establishing and maintaining one's health.   Everyone dependent on public water supplies needs a home water purification system NOW.  While the public may believe that chlorine is necessary in the water to kill the bacteria, there are far superior ways to remove bacteria than by using chlorine.   Chlorine has been used as a weapon of war to kill the enemy.   The idea to chlorinate water supplies throughout the U.S. began after World War I.   Unfortunately, the chemical damage to humans may be far greater than the bacteria itself. The combination of chlorinated water combined with animal fats in the modern diet cause chemical amalgamation of the chlorine and the fat, which results in the formation of a gummy substance in the arteries. This gummy substance is cumulative and over time causes clogging and hardening of the arteries, which results in heart attacks and strokes. Another killer in the water supplies is fluoride.  It is a by-product of the manufacturing of aluminum, sodium fluoride.  It has no scientific merit for human health and is done for economic and political reasons only.  It is known to contribute to the transforming of cancerous cells as well as degenerative diseases. The assurance of drinking clean water is a top priority. A distillation system is recommended for best results.

Cleaning the Body "Good health is internal and external sanitation. The body is a vacuum system with a pump, full of pipes. If you want to have good health, keep the pipes clean." -- Pastor Lester Roloff

The Key:  A Clean Colon Constipation, obesity, digestive problems, eating disorders and chronic fatigue due to candida or parasites in the colon have become the norm is the U.S.   While it is obvious to almost everyone that the life of the flesh is in the blood, it is also becoming widely accepted that life and death begins in the colon.  A healthy colon is able to absorb nutrients from the blood and eliminate toxins and cellular waste by-products from the body.  A polluted blood flow can temporarily be improved from diet, rest and exercise, but if the colon is clogged with waste build-up, the blood will be also.  Antibiotic drugs, animal vaccines, chemicals in the water and food, and a lifelong diet of devitalized and overcooked foods contribute to a colon dominated by putrefied bacteria.  There are beneficial lactobacilli cultures which are essential in the colon, otherwise the colon will be not eliminate waste properly. As a result, waste matter, parasites and mucus will build and harden in the colon walls and eventually becomes wide spread in the blood, organs, glands, tissue and bones.  A clean colon with normal colon flora is essential for good health.

Cleaning and maintaining colon health is the number one remedy for virtually every disease. E. V. Irons fought the medical establishment regarding right thinking for many years. Irons taught that proper colon cleansing could eliminate over 80% of all medical treatments.  Recently he died at the age of 98. However, he left us with his personally developed step by step program for deep cleaning the colon. With the use of supplements, internal cleansers and a colema board, anyone can remove harden fecal waste matter from their colon.  A colema board is a marvelous survival tool.  It allows one to thoroughly wash out their colon in the privacy of their own home.

Helpers:  Composure and Herbal Fiberblend Teresa Schumacher, author of Cleansing the Body and the Colon for a Happier and Healthier You, and Candida the Slow Killer, has also provided us with a very beneficial cleansing program. Teresa is a certified nutritionist, herbalist and formulator of two best selling herbal combinations used for internal cleansing -- Herbal Fiberblend and Composure, marketed by The AIM companies.  More than twenty years of research went into the development of Herbal Fiberblend.  It is a combination of herbs and fiber in an easy-to-use powder.   It was designed for a gentle cleanse that slowly rids the body of waste material and contains herbs that helps to restore health to the body. Herbal Fiberblend contains psyllium which give the body the necessary fiber and aids in elimination. Other ingredients include black walnut hulls, hibiscus flowers, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), shavegrass, licorice root, alfalfa, cascara sagrada, oat straw, pumpkin seed, Irish moss, yucca, passion flowers, marsh mallow root, violet leaves, witch hazel, slippery elm, mullein leaves, and capsicum.  Many of the herbs have been proven very effective in the elimination of undesirable parasites as well as waste matter.  In addition, fiber studies show lowered cholesterol and reduced incidences of diverticulosis, colon cancer, and appendicitis.

Before the body can eliminate properly and the colon can be thoroughly cleaned, the nervous system must be calm and the body in a relaxed state.   Realizing stress is a factor in many diseases, Teresa also formulated Composure from a special blend of the extracts of eight herbs that were selected for their soothing properties.  They are alfalfa, Irish moss, Marshmallow root, oatstraw, passionflower, shavegrass, slippery elm bark and yucca.  Composure can help one overcome the stress and prepare the colon to release stagnant waste.

Nourishing the Body A Biblical Foundation The foundation for a sound nutritional strategy is the Bible.   God's dietary laws found in Exodus and Leviticus, and primarily in Leviticus 11 are the cornerstone of physical health.  While it may be considered OK by the world's standards to consume such meats as a pig or shellfish, the Bible strictly forbids against it.  Many common maladies are caused simply from violation our Father's dietary laws. My first nutritional health teacher was Dr. Norman Walker.  I was captivated his teachings in 1976, and as a result of his suggestions, I regained lost health and youth.   Dr. Walker lived to be 119 years old.  He walked a mile every day including the day he passed away when he died of natural causes while taking his afternoon nap.   Dr. Walker was a Christian, natural health enthusiast, advocate of colon health, and a raw food diet.  He is famous for his work with fresh, raw vegetable juices and enzyme nutrition.

The Hallelujah Diet Dr. George Malkmus, the originator of the Hallelujah Diet, has created perhaps the most effective comprehensive natural health diet in recent times. This diet is based on Genesis 1:29 -- "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat." The Hallelujah Diet -- which is really a lifestyle -- consists of approximately 85% raw and 15% cooked food with the emphasis on raw vegetables, carrot juice and Barleygreen.  This diet eliminates meat, dairy, salt, sugar, white flour, processed foods, stimulants and drugs.  It is estimated that over 1,000,000 people are applying Dr. Malkmus teaching by following this diet.  Dr. Malkmus was stricken with colon cancer in his early forties.  His mother had died of colon cancer a few years prior to his diagnosis.  She had been a medical nurse and was treated with chemotherapy.  Dr. Malkmus described his mother as having no outward appearance of cancer before submitting to the medical treatments.  He then watched his mother die quickly after submitting to the drugs.  When it was his turn, he began to search for another approach.  Dr. Malkmus' first natural health mentor was Lester Roloff, a Baptist preacher.  Roloff taught a strict adherence to the Levitical health laws and emphasized a raw food, common sense diet with a lot of raw carrot and vegetable juice.   After one year on a raw food diet, Dr. Malkmus was completely well.   Twenty-five years later he still enjoys good health that most men in there thirties would envy.  Dr. Malkmus starts his day every morning with a glass of Barleygreen and drinks it at least three times a day.  He claims it is the most nutritious food he has ever discovered.

Vegetable Drinks Max Gerson, founder of the Gerson Clinic famous around the world for it success treating cancer patients began using vegetable juice as the foundation to their cancer therapy over thirty years ago. Each day cancer patients drink up to thirteen 8 ounce glasses of vegetable juice and four are raw green drinks.

Dr. Malkmus' research has shown that Barleygreen can be substituted for these raw green drinks with the same results.  The reason for this lie in the patented method Barleygreen is produced.  Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara developed Barleygreen in search of his own health after contracting mercury poisoning.  After studying over four hundred plants for their nutritional benefits, he concluded that young leaves of barley were superior to all others.  Dr. Hagiwara said, "It was clear to me the, that the leaves of the cereal grasses provide the nearest thing this planet offers to the perfect food.  For reasons of palatability, higher nutrient content, and favorable harvesting features, green barley stands out as the best among these."

Barleygreen is powdered barley juice taken from organically grown, young barley grass and processed in a vacuum at low temperature to preserve enzyme life.  It is loaded with at least 16 vitamins, 23 minerals, 18 amino acids, numerous enzymes and chlorophyll.  Barleygreen has a high alkalizing effect, which helps keep the ratio between acidity and alkalinity in our body fluids balanced.  Cells cannot adequately function if the pH (which measures acidity and alkalinity) is not in a narrow range.  Most processed foods are acidic, and when we consume too many the acidity-alkalinity balance is upset. Barleygreen contains buffer minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium.  Buffer minerals neutralize acidic materials and can help people maintain a healthy acidity-alkalinity balance.

Dr. Hagiwara produces Barleygreen, which is marketed by The AIM Companies. It is grown without using any chemical pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers.  If you can eat a green salad or vegetable, you can use Barleygreen.   It is the ultimate fast food, as well as survival food since it has a shelf life of three years.

PREPARATION Every home should have an adequate supply of first aid items and this supply should be more than adequate. The basics would include scissors, tweezers, matches, razor blades, snake bite kit, gauze, adhesive tape, cotton balls, an essential oil kit and several herb and first-aid hand books.  In case of burns, ice packs, water or aloe gel, first aid sprays and sunburn lotions are necessary.  For broken bones, small strips of wood, for splints or and inflatable splint and material for sling and dressing.  For strains, and sprains keep Epsom Salts and ginger available to reduce the swelling.  For cuts and scrapes keep needles and silk thread, antibiotic ointment, iodine, hydrogen peroxide, cayenne pepper, garlic oil. For eyes, keep eye drops, eyedropper, eye wash kit and Q-tips.

The time is now for starting a prevention and preparation strategy for becoming medically self-sufficient.  The two main ingredients of your strategy should be will power and adaptability.  They are the two greatest survival values one can possess in the natural realm.  Unfortunately, most people lack the willpower and the ability to adapt, especially when the majority of people oppose their choices.  Most conform to whatever is politically correct on that day.  The scriptures warn us of making the mistake of believing the world knows best.  Romans 12:2 tell us: "And be not conformed to this world: but, be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
