Why Doctors are Idiots: 150 Years of Disatrous Advice on Children's
Health (satire)
by Mike Adams
(NaturalNews Satire) With mandatory vaccines suddenly being forced
onto parents by doctors and so-called "health authorities" in places
like Maryland, New Jersey and Texas, you might think that doctors
being full of bunk is a new phenomenon. But no, it's nothing new.
Doctors have been full of bunk for more than a hundred years! What
follows is a short timeline of the nonsense, junk science, negligence
and harmful advice peddled by medical doctors over the last 150 years
or so: (see the end of this article for serious follow-up comments
describing the intent behind this satire piece)
1850's
Ignaz Semmelweis, an Austrian-Hungarian obstetrician working in a
clinic that delivers babies, is labeled "insane" by his fellow doctors
for having the audacity to suggest that doctors should wash their
hands between delivering babies. He's fired from his job, ostracized
by the medical community and later dies in an insane asylum and is
only vindicated long after his death when it is realized that, indeed,
infections are spread from one patient to another by physicians who
are too lazy, stubborn or egoistic to simply wash their hands. (A lack
of hand washing continues to be the primary reason why MRSA and other
superbugs are spread in hospitals today...)
1920's
Don't breastfeed your babies! Use infant formula instead. It's more
"high-tech." Cow's milk is obviously healthier for your babies than
mother's milk, right? That's what the doc says... Result: Tens of
millions of mothers stopped breastfeeding their babies, resulting in
widespread nutritional deficiencies that impacted those children for
life. The pushing of infant formula onto mothers continues today in
hospitals across the country which are paid by infant formula
manufacturers to give free samples of infant formula to new mothers,
hoping they will stop breastfeeding and start buying formula. (Saving
grace: A few courageous pediatricians now speak out forcefully about
the importance of breastfeeding...)
1930's
Smoking while pregnant? No problem. Doctors recommend Camels more than
any other cigarette! Result: Massive chemical toxicity of the bodies
of newborns. Increased cancer risk, reduced brain development and a
lifetime of immune system disorders. (Cigarette ads routinely appeared
in the Journal of the American Medical Association for well over a
decade.)
1940's
Need a new pair of shoes for your kid? Go size 'em up with the
fluoroscope X-ray machine at your local shoe store! Never mind the
radiation exposure of 20 - 75 rems per minute! See wikipedia article
here. Result: Massive increase in cancer among parents and children
who visited the shoe stores. Doctors remained silent on this
significant health risk for decades while millions were harmed -- even
after strong evidence pointed to the fact that X-ray radiation caused
cancer.
1950's
Hey pregnant women, take thalidomide for your cancer! Don't worry
about your unborn children. This chemical is perfectly safe! Result:
10,000 children born with physical deformities. Doctors continued to
use infants and pregnant women in pharmaceutical experiments for the
next fifty years. See Vaccines and Medical Experiments on Children,
Minorities, Woman and Inmates (1845 - 2007).
1960's
Feed your children processed foods! White bread is good for them,
don't you know? And monosodium glutamate is perfectly healthy for
children, which is why food companies add it to baby food! So is
saccharin, hydrogenated oils and sodium nitrite in processed meat.
Result: Massive malnutrition, liver damage, and the beginnings of the
diabetes and obesity epidemics that would sweep the nation over the
next generation.
1970's
Place mercury into the mouths of your little children by having their
cavities filled with "silver" fillings (made with 40% mercury, a
potent neurotoxin). Result: Widespread mercury toxicity in children,
resulting in a sharp increase in neurological conditions, including
behavioral disorders, infertility and autism. Ignorant, obstinate
dentists continue to use mercury fillings today, and the American
Dental Association remains in full support of this extremely dangerous
heavy metal that results in the mass poisoning of children.
Your kid have a cold? It's probably because their tonsils need to be
removed! Tonsils have no biological function anyway, doctors claimed.
Result: Over the last several decades, surgeons have removed tens of
millions of tonsils, maiming children with a medically useless
procedure that has now been proven virtually worthless. But it sure
did raise funds to pay for the luxury German sedans driven by those
surgeons!
1980's
Microwave all the food you feed children. It's quick, convenient and
perfectly healthy! Result: A massive increase in the consumption of
processed, artificially modified and dead foods. The introduction of
the microwave correlates nearly perfectly with the explosion of
obesity and diabetes in western nations. Most doctors still have
nothing negative to say about the use of the microwave.
Does your child have an ear infection? Hammer them with antibiotics.
Don't worry about the fact that antibiotics are useless against ear
infections, or that they wipe out your child's friendly intestinal
flora and cause nutritional deficiencies. It's doctor-recommended, so
it must be good, right? Result: Billions of doses of useless
antibiotics helped breed a new generation of superbug viruses that
have now escaped the hospitals and are infecting the public at large.
Antibiotics are useless to stop them, and doctors still have not
figured out that you can kill superbugs with colloidal silver or
garlic. (A fact that ancient human civilizations knew thousands of
years ago...)
1990's
Coat your children with sunscreen. The sun is dangerous and has no
health benefits whatsoever, didn't you know? And besides, all those
chemicals in sunscreen are perfectly safe. Result: Children are now
living with severe vitamin D deficiencies (even rickets!) that greatly
increase rates of breast cancer, prostate cancer, osteoporosis,
depression, obesity and diabetes. Doctors still don't recognize the
important role of vitamin D in children's health, and they prescribe
drugs to treat the symptoms of disease rather than recommending
vitamin D (which would correct the underlying problems and eliminate
the need for pharmaceuticals).
Does your baby have a cough? Feed 'em sugared-up, chemically-
contaminated cough syrup made by pharmaceutical companies. Don't worry
that it's never been tested on infants or approved by the FDA. It
works, right? It's doctor-recommended! Result: Over a billion doses of
useless, "quack" cough medicine swallowed by infants. The cough syrup
hoax was finally blown wide open in 2007 when a few courageous
pediatric physicians finally admitted the products have absolutely no
medicinal effects and might, in fact, be dangerous for infants and
children. The FDA continues to allow their sale, however, since
they're still quite profitable to Big Pharma (even though they don't
work).
Is little Johnny a bit too jazzed up for your comfort level? Don't
worry, psychiatrists have a solution: Street drugs for children!
Illegal amphetamines are now legal thanks to the Big Pharma / FDA
partnership, and your friendly psych doctor is ready to prescribe
Ritalin and antidepressant drugs to your "hyperactive" kids. Result:
Widespread school shootings in America. Tens of millions of children
suffer stunted physical and mental development -- a dangerous side
effects that doesn't emerge until 2007. See http://www.NaturalNews.com/021944.html
2000's
Too posh to push? Don't worry, your obstetrician will schedule a C-
section childbirth appointment and deliver the baby on YOUR schedule
instead of Mother Nature's. It's more convenient for him, too, because
then he can still make his golf game. Don't worry about the baby:
There's no benefit to vaginal childbirth anyway, right? What better
way to welcome your child to the world than with a scalpel! Result:
Millions of women subject their children to non-natural child birthing
that results in an increased risk of lung disease afflictions as well
as psychological birthing trauma lasting a lifetime.
Worried about your child getting an infectious disease? Inject your
children with multiple vaccines. It will protect them from infectious
disease and may, in fact, protect them from oral sex! (At least that's
what Merck claims.) Besides, there's nothing wrong with a little
mercury, right? Result: Unknown. It's a great medical experiment now
being conducted on the children of America. It's backed by idiot
doctors and gun-toting law enforcement personnel who are ready to
arrest parents who resist the vaccination mandates.
Need some food for your baby? Buy Similac (or any other baby formula
powder). It's made with 42.6% corn syrup solids and 10.1% sugar,
making it over 50% refined sugars! Marketed with a cuddly teddy bear
on the front label and sporting the claim, "Balanced nutrition for
older babies," Similac and other infant formula products are little
more than sugar water for babies. Doctors and pediatricians remain
silent. There is no outcry. No national scandal. No action by the FDA
to protect babies. Some doctors even recommend this stuff! (And stupid
parents keep buying it!)
2007
A survey of 1,600 practicing physicians published in the Annals of
Internal Medicine reveals that reveals that nearly half of all doctors
failed to report an incompetent colleague who posed a risk to the
health or safety of a patient. The same survey also revealed that a
majority of doctors would send their patients to get expensive imaging
work done at an imaging facility in which they held a financial
interest, but only 24 percent of doctors said they would reveal that
conflict of interest to patients.
Result: Yet more incompetent, dishonest doctors continue to scam
customers and harm patients. The scourge of modern medicine continues
as corrupt, ignorant and downright incompetent doctors continue to
harm millions of expectant mothers, infants, babies and children with
their deadly Big Pharma chemicals and disastrous health advice. The
reputation of doctors plummets in the minds of the American public,
and most patients now turn to the Internet to find answers that their
doctors either don't know or refuse to tell them. The mass exodus of
patients away from conventional medicine is now well underway...
Why doctors are still idiots
When it comes to medical idiocy, these examples are just the tip of
the iceberg. The same hopelessly outdated medical system that has
given us cigarette-promoting doctors, breastfeeding-censoring doctors
and superbug-breeding doctors is now claiming your children need yet
more chemicals in their bodies in the form of vaccinations!
And, by the way, these doctors are the only people in the world who
are right. They'll tell you so themselves! They are the sole source of
all knowledge on anything related to health and medicine, and they've
now garnered enough political power that they've managed to
criminalize parents who disagree with their medical dogma.
You know what the difference is between God and doctors?
God doesn't think he's a doctor.
These days, instead of doctors simply being full of nonsense, they are
suddenly a very real danger to your personal freedom. Before, they
were just peddling health nonsense. Now they hold the keys to your
freedom and the custody of your children. Refuse to go along with new
mandatory vaccination programs in New Jersey, for example, and you can
be arrested, imprisoned, charged with a crime and have your children
kidnapped by Child Protective Services. How dare you disagree with the
High Priests of medical dogma!
Personally, I don't necessarily mind doctors being full of crap. It's
amusing to watch, and hilarious to document. But I do mind doctors
being full of crap while invoking law enforcement authorities to pull
out a Glock, slap a 10-round magazine in the grip, point the barrel to
the head of a mother of three children and demand, "Take OUR medicine,
or you'll be arrested." Which is, of course, essentially what's
happening in New Jersey and Maryland right now. It's called Gunpoint
Medicine, and if you don't believe me, move to New Jersey, and refuse
to have your children vaccinated. It won't be long before armed men
show up at your front door with Child Protective Services standing
behind them, ready to grab your kid, toss him into an unmarked van,
and have you arrested for "resisting vaccination." This is not
fiction. I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried. It takes truly evil
people to dream up this kind of medical terrorism -- the very people
who work for Big Pharma and the FDA.
Or maybe I'm wrong about all this. Maybe doctors and health
authorities have been full of crap for a hundred years, and now all of
a sudden in 2007, they're instantly right! Maybe they've been visited
by supernatural, omniscient beings who gave them perfect knowledge
(along with a new Merck vaccine) and all they're doing is running
around the country saving little children's lives for the good of
humanity.
Perhaps 2007 is the new Golden Age of children's health, to be
initiated with a mass injection of kiddies with a dozen new toxic
mercury injections to "protect" these kids from things that will
probably never happen to them. Maybe now, in 2007, organized medicine
has reversed all its years of bullsnot and finally found the light!
And that light, we're told, comes in the form of a pill... or a
vaccine... or chemotherapy... or whatever they tell you to take next.
Yes, indeed! We've been saved by Big Pharma and a brigade of doctors!
Hail the FDA! Praise the pharmaceutical giants! Give thanks for
mandatory injections! Listen to the doctors and we'll all be saved!
Quick Note: This satire piece does not mean to imply that ALL doctors
are complete idiots when it comes to health. There are exceptions.
Many of the outstanding people I know in natural health started as
conventional medical doctors (M.D.s). The difference between complete
idiot doctors and intelligent doctors is that idiots are not willing
to abandon their existing dogmatic beliefs when faced with new,
contradictory evidence. Intelligent people, on the other hand, adapt
and evolve their ideas when faced with new information or evidence.
Conventional medicine, for the most part, does not want to learn
anything new that might challenge its existing status quo dominance
over the lives of parents and children. "Innovation is the enemy of
the status quo," and genuine health enhancement (and disease
prevention) is the enemy of the entrenched medical industrial complex.
Most doctors are complete idiots because they follow a dogmatic,
religious-like belief in blatantly outdated junk medical science, even
when real world observations and evidence demands the embracing of
ideas that overthrow previously protected beliefs and career egos.
Until doctors can abandon their egos and admit they don't know
everything, they will continue to be full of crap.
The purpose behind this satire piece is not to engage in silly name-
calling exercises, but rather to play an important role in social
commentary on the huge failures of modern medicine today. Satire and
humor have important functions in any free society: They reveal what's
wrong in a hilarious light, simultaneously entertaining us while
encouraging us to challenge our own ideas and, perhaps, come up with
new, better solutions for future generations. Political cartoons,
stand-up comedians and satire pieces like this one all play a role in
getting people to think more carefully about the issues at hand.
Consider this: If modern medicine really worked well, and if doctors
were creating wonderful solutions that kept people healthy, then we
wouldn't have much of anything to make fun of! The fact that silly
humor and examples of idiotic behavior are so easy to find in
conventional medicine today is indicative of the failure of medicine
to be effective. Satire "attack" humor carries a sub-text message that
says, "We can do better." We don't have to suffer under an idiotic
system of medicine. We can create a better future based on genuine
health freedom, the promotion of disease prevention programs, and the
embracing of plant-based medicines that are safe, affordable and
highly effective.
Until we get there, poking fun at the hilarious (but sometimes quite
harmful and disastrous) failures of conventional medicine is an
important way to keep reminding us all how crazy we are to follow this
entrenched system of failed medicine. After all, if conventional
medicine really worked well, wouldn't we all be healthy by now?
Finally, I must add that there is idiocy and humor in every industry.
Even natural health has its own idiots, too. Every industry has some
area that can be improved, and there are always idiots working
alongside geniuses and compassionate leaders, no matter where you look
(except, perhaps, in politics, where it seems to be almost entirely
idiots...). It just seems that conventional medicine has more than its
fair share of short-sighted individuals (which I am equating with the
term "idiots"). It's not just the doctors, of course, but the doctors
have played a significant role in promoting the dogmatic beliefs that
have helped deliver this disastrous failure of a health care system
that we all suffer under in America today. Cuba actually has better
health care results than America, and that country has virtually none
of the technology, pharmaceuticals and insurance programs that we
have.
That says a lot right there. To some, it's downright hilarious.
Personally, I can't help but laugh at the whole system of western
medicine. And I plan to keep making fun of it for as long as it
continues to produce more health care follies.
