The Slow Kill (Part 2): "Evidence Based Medicine"

Reposted from my original blog on Minds.com

Part one of this blog, if you care to get caught up, is available on my page and talks quite a bit of how the Rockefeller crime syndicate overtook mainstream medicine and changed the direction of healthcare in the West for good.
Now we get to some of the propaganda activities of the mainstream medical apparatus that we now have the displeasure of experiencing.

One of the weapons utilized against alternative healing practices is the idea of "evidence based medicine" which of course sounds awesome on paper but ends up being used often as a political tool for the mainstream medical establishment which is riddled with charlatans and self-proclaimed rulers of human health. Sure, there are plenty of good doctors out there, and most believe they are acting in accordance with the good of humanity. But sadly, many are mistaken and have become unwilling pawns in a game which seeks to ridicule and systematically destroy competition.

One of these tactics is "evidence based medicine". It is very clever how this system works. By controlling the medical journals and the studies themselves due to the control of funding, it is very easy to scoff at "alternative treatments" such as Traditional Chinese Medicine or vibrational treatments simply because the powers that be choose not to pursue studies in these realms of healing. By never doing a study and referring to such practices as "pseudoscience" (a beloved term in the mainstream community) they simply never have the "evidence" via trials and so can claim that such treatments don't fit into the "evidence based" model of allopathic medicine. However these rulers still have billions of dollars to throw after drug based trials, then cherry picking and exaggerating data to show "the evidence". Often times, looking at drug trials themselves, as in ground zero, the actual scientific studies, shows this quite clearly, as sample sizes are notoriously small, and all trials are done against a placebo and not the natural remedy that the drug is competing with. For instance it has been known for centuries that green tea can help with fat loss and mental acuity, yet no studies are done with green tea vs. a psychotropic drug. It is always the drug vs placebo because in my opinion lots of these studies would show quite obviously that the natural cure is vastly superior in practice.

So, the studies are never done, and since at any hospital doctors are hog-tied into only using "evidence based" medicine, they are therefore tied into using only the drugs that have been studied.

Anecdotal evidence can be misleading but it is a form of evidence in many cases. For instance back to TCM. It has been used and honed for thousands of years. Only one with the curiosity of a goldfish couldn't see that there is obviously something to this treatment to survive this long in perpetuation. Yet this anecdotal evidence is not admissible in the courts of the high priests of medicine known as hospitals and various care centers.

Speaking of lack of curiosity and inability to connect blatant dots, here's a prime example I experienced recently:
A family member of mine was in bad shape with a rare, antibiotic resistant E.coli infection which shut his kidneys down and caused seizures. Even the doctors agreed whole heartedly with me that the seizures were caused by his immune system being on such high alert due to the toxicity. Yet when CBD oil was brought up, you would swear I was asking for a Native American Shaman to enter the premises (which probably would have been more effective then the travesty that ensued). Cries of "well let's not go to last ditch efforts" came forth from the staff. Instead they opted to use an experimental and extremely expensive drug that wasn't even approved for the problem at hand. The staff all agreed that studies have shown that CBD is not only non-toxic and harmless but has shown to help children with seizures. Yet nobody dared make the massive leap in logic that, low and behold, if it works for kids, MAYBE, just MAYBE it could help with a grown child (adult). But, because the CBD had only been tested on kids and not adults, it was no longer in the "evidence based medicine" paradigm. The rest of the treatment for the E.coli was appallingly bad and I just sat there, helpless, watching the drugs flow endlessly.

I'm not sure about you guys, but if societies like China which have a long history of being much healthier than Western cultures are using a system that has been finely crafted over 5,000 years, that constitutes at least a form of evidence in my mind.

Science has become the new religion in Western medicine. If there is not a study to back something up, it is simply dismissed. Yet few understand just how corrupt the medical system is when it comes to performing and funding studies. For instance it would cost millions, if not hundreds of millions of dollars to fund a study to have a plant based medicine enter the market. Coupled with the crooked FDA's choke hold on medicine with their hallmark phrase of "only a drug can claim to cure, diagnose or prevent a disease", the market is essentially locked down.
Thankfully, people are waking up to at least the fact that herbs and plants can cure diseases, and usually much more efficiently, and with less side-effects, than petroleum based drugs. So studies are starting to emerge. But for the time being, if you go to a hospital or primary care physician, you can rest assured that only drugs and invasive surgeries will be on the menu.

Because only these are allowed in the church of "evidence based medicine" and anything else is heresy worthy of burning at the stake
