I’ve had a lot of trouble with the medical profession.  Over the years doctors have made attempts to put me in jail and keep me in fear.  But they never stopped me.  When I’ve had a client die there has been an almost inevitable coroner’s investigation, complete with detectives and the sheriff.  Fortunately, I practice in rural Oregon, where the local people have a deeply-held belief in individual liberty and where the authorities know they would have had a very hard time finding a jury to convict me.  Had I chosen to practice with a high profile and had I located Great Oaks School of Health in a major market area where the physicians were able to charge top dollar, I probably would have spent years behind bars as did other heroes of my profession such as Linda Hazzard and Royal Lee.

So I have acquired an uncomplimentary attitude about medical doctors, a viewpoint I am going to share with you ungently, despite the fact that doing so will alienate some of my readers.  But I do so because most Americans are entirely enthralled by doctors, and this doctor-god worship kills a lot of them.

However, before I get started on the medicos, let me state that one area exists where I do have fundamental admiration for allopathic medicine.  This is its handling of trauma.  I agree that a body can become the genuine victim of fast moving bullets.  It can be innocently cut, smashed, burned, crushed and broken.  Trauma are not diseases and modern medicine has become quite skilled at putting traumatized bodies back together.  Genetic abnormality may be another undesirable physical condition that is beyond the purview of natural medicine.  However, the expression of contra-survival genetics can often be controlled by nutrition.  And the expression of poor genetics often results from poor nutrition, and thus is similar to a degenerative disease condition, and thus is well within the scope of natural medicine.

Today’s suffering American public is firmly in the AMA’s grip.  People have been effectively prevented from learning much about medical alternatives, have been virtually brainwashed by clever media management that portrays other medical models as dangerous and/or ineffective.  Legislation influenced by the allopathic doctors’ union, the American Medical Association, severely limits or prohibits the practice of holistic health.  People are repeatedly directed by those with authority to an allopathic doctor whenever they have a health problem, question or confusion.  Other types of healers are considered to be at best harmless as long as they confine themselves to minor complaints; at worst, when naturopaths, hygienists, or homeopaths seek to treat serious disease conditions they are called quacks, accused of unlicensed practice of medicine and if they persist or develop a broad, successful, high-profile and (this is the very worst) profitable practice, they are frequently jailed.
