For years big pharma, MD’s and nutritionists have been in a battle over who can help the patient correct a deficiency/illness. Some like nutritionists go the extra step and think about how they can help without doing more damage. Some medications do more harm than good when addressing the symptom and creating other issues that weren’t present prior to taking that medication.
If you’ve listened to my show enough you know I present non-bias information in the listeners best interest.
The drug companies? Not so much. They want the almighty dollar while making you believe they’re looking out for you.
You say George give me an example. Okay how about this.
Somewhere in every drug commercial they say something like this. “This medication may cause nausea, dizziness, back pain, bruising and stroke” but the commercial was about toe fungus so you may experience all of those side effects but at least your toe fungus will be gone. SERIOUSLY???? COME ON
Most of us are not aware of the power food and professional grade supplements can have because there isn’t enough money being poured into commercials and educating use as well as doctors about the benefits. Even if someone has enough money, the drug companies would squash them cause they have way too much to lose.
Another example? How about the article in Newsweek I believe it was in 2008 where they showed omitted information about the studies performed by big pharma on statin drugs for lowering cholesterol? They have never been shown to prevent heart attacks and they rob your body of the very nutrient that protects your heart in the first place called CoQ10.
For every medication you take you lose vital nutrients’ that can bring about other conditions. Find out the nutrients lost and replace them while on the medication.
That would be ideal for those who are on medication now. But if you’re unaware of the nutrients you're being robbed of while on medication then you may experience other ill affects you didn’t have prior to beginning that medication therapy and may dismiss it blaming those new issues on age.
Now you may say George you’re talking about conspiracy here, come one get real.
Okay now we’re getting into the reason I am writing this. It’s to show you once again without bias information that people who omit vital information from a study lose credibility. This adds creds to those who all along had your best interest at hand by researching beyond traditional ways of learning and not accepting a doctors word.
Most doctors don’t have time to perform their own studies nor do they have time to research all day long so they rely on drug companies to educate them. Their fault? Or the drug company? I’d say both must accept responsibility.
The really good news is that there are hundreds of MD’s who recognize we have more meditation today than we ever had yet we are sicker in America than we’ve ever been. These docs are actually going back to school and getting nutrition degrees to better serve their patients. Yes we’re alive longer but we are just extending life, not necessarily are we healthy.
I have many friends who are doctors and they are on board 100% with the info I provide on my blog and radio show. Why? Because they have done their research beyond the scope of the drug companies. It's time for the child to leave from under the roof of big pharma and go out into the world and learn learn for himself.
Read below and make a call one way or the other about the truth finally being revealed about researcher MD Max Gerson.
The Hidden Wikipedia: How to Find Deleted Material about Nutritional Medicine
(OMNS, May 11, 2010) There is nothing quite like a paper trail, and Wikipedia has one. Consequently, you can read for yourself all the material that has been added, and then deleted.
For example: Wikipedia's page about Max Gerson, M.D., is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Gerson<http://www.cihfimediaservices.org/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=74&e=MjY0NTg=&l=-http--en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Gerson>.
The doctor is widely known for the nutritional cancer therapy that bears his name. Gerson's principal biographer is his grandson, Howard Straus
http://www.doctoryourself.com/gersonbio.htm<http://www.cihfimediaservices.org/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=74&e=MjY0NTg=&l=-http--www.doctoryourself.com/gersonbio.htm>.
Mr. Straus talks about some interesting experiences he has had with Wikipedia bias:"Some years ago, on seeing that the pages for Dr. Max Gerson and the Gerson herapy were only stubs (short place-holders with little information on them), I took it upon myself to flesh out the pages. I thought Wikipedia was fairly neutral on balance, so I put in all the information that I could, and kept it factual with references, citations, and literature links.
"Within a month, the following had happened:
"The information was labeled as "biased" and "unreliable" because I am Dr. Gerson's grandson and biographer. There appeared a big red flag at the top of the article labeling the articles neutrality "dubious." The photograph I posted was removed. Provable, referenced facts, with dates and places, all suddenly became "claims," even quotes from no less than Nobel Laureate
Albert Schweitzer, M.D., who famously said: *"I see in Dr. Max Gerson one of the most eminent geniuses in medical history."* Dr. Schweitzer and his wife were patients of Dr. Gerson, making this a first-hand account from a rather reliable source.
"All my links, references and citations were removed. They were replaced by links to the American Cancer Society and National Cancer Institute, which offer only criticism of the Gerson Therapy. Even quotations from published scientific papers were removed. Attempts to rectify these actions were immediately overwritten.
"It's easy enough to show the progression of the pages, since Wikipedia displays former edits on request, dated and documented. One can verify this by clicking on the "History" tab at the top of the Max Gerson page, and looking at 2005 and before. My editing is archived at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/69.109.140.164<http://www.cihfimediaservices.org/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=74&e=MjY0NTg=&l=-http--en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/69.109.140.164>
and also
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Howard_Straus<http://www.cihfimediaservices.org/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=74&e=MjY0NTg=&l=-http--en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Howard_Straus>
"A second Wikipedia page, specific to the Gerson Therapy, has been * completely* removed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gerson_therapy&redirect=no<http://www.cihfimediaservices.org/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=74&e=MjY0NTg=&l=-http--en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php--Q-title--E-Gerson_therapy--A-redirect--E-no>.
To see something of what happened, you can click the "History" tab here as well."
The OMNS adds just one other intriguing statement about Dr. Gerson's work that is probably too "unreliable" to be seen on Wikipedia:
*"I know of one patient who turned to Gerson Therapy having been told she was suffering from terminal cancer and would not survive another course of chemotherapy. Happily, seven years later, she is alive and well. So it is vital that, rather than dismissing such experiences, we should furtherinvestigate the beneficial nature of these treatments."* (H.R.H. Charles, Prince of Wales)
Max Gerson is not the only nutritionally-oriented physician whose work is slanted or censored at Wikipedia. Others include Matthias Rath, M.D., and Robert F. Cathcart III, M.D. *Matthias Rath, M.D.*
Dr. Rath coauthored a number of papers with Linus Pauling. (1-8) They discussed high-dose vitamin therapy for cardiovascular disease. To see whatis going on at Wikipedia concerning him:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Matthias_Rath<http://www.cihfimediaservices.org/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=74&e=MjY0NTg=&l=-http--en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Matthias_Rath>
Paul Anthony Taylor, a supporter of Dr. Rath, comments: "Instead of providing free access to the sum of all human knowledge, as is its supposed aim, Wikipedia would appear to be just another way of supporting the scientific, political and social status quo. In a sense, however, the game is already up for Wikipedia. The official exams watchdog in the UK, Ofqual,
recently stated that schoolchildren should avoid it as it is not "authoritative or accurate" and in some cases "may be completely untrue"
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/6943325/Schoolchildren-told-to-avoid-Wikipedia.html<http://www.cihfimediaservices.org/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=74&e=MjY0NTg=&l=-http--www.telegraph.co.uk/education/6943325/Schoolchildren-told-to-avoid-Wikipedia.html>
Believe it or not, *one of Wikipedia's contributors is the CIA, and they are not just updating their own entries, either*.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/08/16/2007049.htm<http://www.cihfimediaservices.org/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=74&e=MjY0NTg=&l=-http--www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/08/16/2007049.htm>
When it comes to nutritional therapies, you won't currently find much of it on Wikipedia."
*Robert F. Cathcart, M.D.*
*The Wikipedia page for this physician has been deleted.*
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Robert_Cathcart<http://www.cihfimediaservices.org/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=74&e=MjY0NTg=&l=-http--en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Robert_Cathcart>
Why? Because Dr. Cathcart "does not meet notability criteria per WP:BIO
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BIO<http://www.cihfimediaservices.org/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=74&e=MjY0NTg=&l=-http--en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BIO>"
and "a quick google search shows up no reliable hits for this subject." indeed? It appears that someone was not looking. Orthopedic surgeon Robert F. Cathcart III is the inventor of the Cathcart Elliptical Orthocentric Endoprosthesis, a replacement hip-ball joint still in widespread use today after 37 years.
http://www.orthomed.com/pros.pdf<http://www.cihfimediaservices.org/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=74&e=MjY0NTg=&l=-http--www.orthomed.com/pros.pdf>
Some physicians report it to be superior to other similar devices.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2661497<http://www.cihfimediaservices.org/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=74&e=MjY0NTg=&l=-http--www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2661497>
That alone qualifies him as notable, and invalidates the deletion of his page at Wikipedia. In addition, Linus Pauling personally singled out Dr. Cathcart for recognition for his nutritional knowledge as early as 1978. (9)
Possibly, just possibly, the real reason Dr. Cathcart is deleted from Wikipedia has much more to do with his outspoken advocacy of very high doses of vitamin C to treat viral illnesses.
