There are more health myths propagated by the media and conventional medicine today than there ever have been throughout history. In large part, this is due to a lack of public education and a broadening of the corporate powers who promote myths to achieve very specific and malicious goals all in the name of profit.
Myth #1 – Conventional medicine and the healthcare system helps sick people.
Perhaps the biggest health myth today is the public’s misconception that mainstream medicine and the healthcare system helps sick people. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The freedom of people to choose natural healing, alternative medicine and methods of disease prevention could soon be threatened by corporate lobbyists who will do anything to protect their wealth at the expense of your health.
Promoters of conventional medicine claim that all the drug studies, approvals, surgical procedures, all other treatments are based on scientific evidence. But is it really science? What passes for “science” today is a collection of health myths, half-truths, intellectual dishonesty and fraudulent reporting to help serve higher interests. Science is not really science anymore.
90 percent of all diseases (cancer, diabetes, depression, heart disease, etc.) are easily preventable through diet, nutrition, sunlight and exercise. None of these solutions are ever promoted by conventional medicine because they make no money.
No pharmaceuticals actually cure or resolve the underlying causes of disease. Even “successful” drugs only manage symptoms, usually at the cost of interfering with other physiological functions that will cause side effects down the road. There is no such thing as a drug without a side effect.
There is no financial incentive for anyone in today’s system of medicine (drug companies, hospitals, doctors, etc.) to actually make patients well. Profits are found in continued sickness, not wellness or prevention.
Almost all the “prevention” programs you see today (such as free mammograms or other screening programs) are nothing more than patient recruitment schemes designed to increase revenue and sickness. They use free screenings to scare people into agreeing to unnecessary treatments that only lead to further disease. Mammography is a very good example. Chemotherapy is another.
Nobody has any interest in your health except you. No corporation, no doctor, and no government has any desire to actually make you well. This has served the short-term financial interests of higher powers in the west very well. The only healthy, aware, critically thinking individuals are all 100% free of pharmaceuticals and processed foods.

MYTH #2 – Vaccines prevent diseases and increase immunity.
The term “immunization”, often substituted for vaccination, is false and should be legally challenged. Medical research has well established that the direct injection of foreign proteins and other toxic material (particularly known immune-sensitising poisons such as mercury) makes the recipient more, not less, easily affected by what he/she encounters in the future. This means they do the opposite of immunize, commonly even preventing immunity from developing after natural exposure.
The actual frequency of health problems has been estimated by authorities to be possibly up to 100 times, or more, greater than that reported by government agencies. That difference is due to the lack of enforcement or incentive for doctors to report adverse effects. With the anti-vaccination movements now exposing the truth on the internet, the medical community is now on high alert, defending their claims and being told by vaccine manufacturers that they must never let their patients (or parents) think that the risks could outweigh the benefits, when in reality, it is precisely the opposite that is true.
The benefit risk ratio is an important decision in anyone deciding whether to vaccinate or not. Contrary to popular belief and marketing, childhood diseases in a developed country are not as dangerous as we are led to believe. Catching a particular disease does not mean you will
die from it. Vaccines were actually introduced at a time when diseases had already declined to a low risk level. This fact is proven, scientifically.
The main advances in combating disease over the last 200 years have been better food and clean drinking water…not vaccines. Improved sanitation, less overcrowded and better living conditions also contribute. This is also borne out in published peer reviewed research which prove that vaccine did not save us.
All vaccines contain sterility agents, neurotoxins, immunotoxins, and carcinogenic compounds. Some examples include formaldehyde, a carcinogen found in almost every vaccine, neurotoxins such as monosodium glutamate, potassium chloride, thimerosal, sterility agents such as Triton X-100, octoxynol-10, polysorbate 80, and immuntoxins such as neomycin, monobasic potassium phosphate, sodium deoxycholate to name a few of many.
It is no coincidence that the more educated you are, the less chance you will vaccinate which contradicts the misconceptions of many health professionals who profess that parents don’t vaccinate because they are under-educated, poor or misinformed. Those who become fully informed of the dangers of vaccines never see them in the same light again, as their motives then become clear.

MYTH #3 – We must all focus on lowering bad cholesterol.
Perhaps one of the biggest health myths propagated in western culture and certainly in the United States, is the misuse of an invented term “bad cholesterol” by the media and medical community. Moreover, a scientifically-naive public has been conned into a fraudulent correlation between elevated cholesterol and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Cholesterol has not been shown to actually cause CVD. To the contrary, cholesterol is vital to our survival, and trying to artificially lower it can have detrimental effects, particularly as we age.
We have become a culture so obsessed with eating foods low in cholesterol and fat that many health experts are now questioning the consequences. Could we really maintain a dietary lifestyle that was so foreign to many of our ancestral populations without any ill effects on our health? Many researchers are now concluding that the answer to that question is “NO.” Current data is now suggesting that lower cholesterol levels predate the development of cancer.
The ‘noddy-science’ offered by marketing men to a generally scientifically-naive public has led many people to believe that we should replace certain food choices with specially developed products that can help ‘reduce cholesterol’. Naturally this comes at a price and requires those who can afford it to pay maybe four or five times what a ‘typical ordinary’ product might cost. But is this apparent ‘blanket need’ to strive towards lowering our cholesterol justified? And, indeed, is it healthy?
The cholesterol itself, whether being transported by LDL or HDL, is exactly the same. Cholesterol is simply a necessary ingredient that is required to be regularly delivered around the body for the efficient healthy development, maintenance and functioning of our cells. The difference is in the ‘transporters’ (the lipoproteins HDL and LDL) and both types are essential for the human body’s delivery logistics to work effectively.
Problems can occur, however, when the LDL particles are both small and their carrying capacity outweighs the transportation potential of available HDL. This can lead to more cholesterol being ‘delivered’ around the body with lower resources for returning excess capacity to the liver.

MYTH #4 – Medical screening and treatments prevent death.
Even though the medical community advocates for regular screenings for those with illnesses, they may bring little benefit and may actually pose harm to your health. This applies to almost every type of medical screening for cancer and several other diseases. Medical screening carries an immense risk in itself, not only due to the damage inflicted by screening techniques on the human body, but by the very nature of medical follow-up protocols. These protocols usually encourage patients to enter deeper into more invasive techniques, which further cripple health and lead to a very high percentage of fatalities.
In a Swedish study of 60,000 women, 70 percent of the mammographically detected tumors weren’t tumors at all. These “false positives” aren’t just financial and emotional strains, they may also lead to many unnecessary and invasive biopsies. In fact, 70 to 80 percent of all positive mammograms do not, upon biopsy, show any presence of cancer.
A prostate (PSA) blood test looks for prostate-specific antigen, a protein produced by the prostate gland. High levels are supposedly associated with prostate cancer. The problem is that the association isn’t always correct, and when it is, the prostate cancer isn’t necessarily deadly. Only about 3 percent of all men die from prostate cancer. The PSA test usually leads to overdiagnosis — biopsies and treatment in which the side effects are impotence and incontinence. Repeated biopsies may spread cancer cells into the track formed by the needle, or by spilling cancerous cells directly into the bloodstream or lympathic system.
News coverage of many diseases focus too much on treatments and not enough on prevention, a trend that could prove risky in the long run for most people who don’t understand how to take care of their health.
The biggest single type of story we usually hear about on the news involves treatment, and narratives lend themselves much better to that kind of story. Stories about prevention, about people exercising and eating right, just don’t make great copy.
If our current treatment approach to health continues, hundreds of years from now, mankind may look back at today’s “modern medicine” and think: “How could they have been so primitive in ideology and so wrong? What lack of humanitarianism in government allowed the medical industries to kill people with economically driven false beliefs and ideas? Why didn’t government stop them? Who were the people in charge of protecting those citizens?
Preventive education demands increased funding for research into new dietary, physical activity, behavioural, socioeconomic, environmental and medical approaches for the prevention of chronic disease. Children who grow into teenagers and then adults require more accountability for their own well-being through health conscious decisions which are motivated by proper practical and theoretical applications. They need to know that treatment modalities and pharmaceutical applications may not save their health in the future. Substantial political and financial contributions are also imperative to invest in prevention more effectively to regulate revisions and mandate policies which affect the governing bodies of health and education. Any procrastination or failure to resolve these matters in the next decade will only lead to the further deterioration of human health and healthcare systems. Proper leadership and effective communication regarding these preventive measures may still reverse screening/treatment trends and consequently reverse this thinking to ultimately promote a healthier aging population.

MYTH #5 – Fluoride prevents tooth decay.
Water fluoridation is a hoax. Drinking any amount of fluoride is dangerous to your health and has NEVER been proven to prevent tooth decay. It’s actually the biggest scientific fraud ever to be promoted by national and international Governments. Fluoride has been linked to osteoporosis, cancer, auto-immune diseases, and even very small concentrations can disrupt DNA repair enzymes by 50%.
The fluoride added to our water is a waste product of aluminum and phosphate fertilizer processing. And it’s not even calcium fluoride that appears naturally in water, but sodium fluoride, which is a whole different thing–and loaded with bad news.
In fact, sodium fluoride has no good news. Except for a few suspect reports by the people selling the stuff, study after research study proves that sodium fluoride does not protect our teeth, and it does a number on our bones. And on other body parts, too, including our thyroid gland.
- Fluoride was found to be an equivocal carcinogen by the National Cancer Institute Toxicological Program.
- Drinking fluoridated water will double the number of hip fractures for both older men and women.
- Infertility in women was found to increase with water fluoridation. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scientists reported a close correlation between decreasing total fertility rates in women between ages of 10 and 49, and increasing fluoride levels.
- Fluoride has never been found to effectively reducing tooth decay by any notable margin. No causation or even correlation was found between the level of fluoride in water and dental caries in any study.
- Fluoride also attacks the pineal gland. The pineal controls our inner clock, provides good sleep, works with our adrenal glands to handle stress, keeps the thymus gland fed and cared for, and communicates 24/7 with the rest of the endocrine system about how things are going. Fluoride calcifies our pineal gland into a non-functioning rock.
- The government classifies sodium fluoride as environmentally hazardous waste. Anybody handling it must wear HazMat protective gear. Dumping it into rivers is a crime.
Much of the original proof that fluoride is safe for humans in low doses was generated by A-bomb program scientists, who had been secretly ordered to provide “evidence useful in litigation” against defense contractors for fluoride injury to citizens. The first lawsuits against the U.S. A-bomb program were not over radiation, but over fluoride damage, the documents show.

I don’t disagree with most of the author’s points, just one. Vaccinations save lives and prevent disease. I know. I lived through the polio epidemic of the 50′s and saw many of my friends and family suffer or die from this disease, until the vaccine was developed. Vaccines are why we don’t have smallpox anymore, or why millions of children don’t die from diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough) or typhus. While there may be some things wrong with some vaccines, for the most part, the old style ones have saved millions of peoples’ lives. To say otherwise is a lie. You might as well say that antibiotics kill people. Sure, some people are allergic to one or more of the ingredients of antibiotics, me being one of those. But they also saved my life twice from rheumatic fever. To say that exposure to something is bad for your immune response to that thing, is blatantly false. Unless your body gets a look, literally, at a virulent bacteria or a virus in a non-virulent state, it can not recognize it as non-self in time to mount a lifesaving defense. That is what vaccines do. They let the body see the infectious agents in a state, killed or attenuated, that are non-lethal and so increase the speed of the immune response when the live agent appear, because your body has a pattern to use, both for recognition and killing the agent. Once you understand this all of the stupid crap about vaccinations goes away and we are left with the only legitimate problems, which are the additives and preservatives. Those issues need addressing, but I would still vaccinate my children. I watched my good friend’s mother die in an iron lung from polio. I would never take a chance on my children or grandchildren dying like that.
Please consider doing a little more research on this subject. You will find that there was a decline already occurring in these diseases before the introduction on vaccines. In regard to polio they simply changed the criteria for diagnosis. Polio is most often diagnosed a meningitis now. The polio vaccine was always a failure.
Robbin, prior to today I would have supported your position, but please refer to the following youtube video that shows where the polio vaccine came from and the negative health implications that have arisen as a result…
Lal Pook, thanks for the video! I’m a physician, and I can tell you that side of the story wasn’t taught in medical school. @RobbinJones, have you watched the video yet? I’d love to hear your reply to it.
Femmesport4: Please consider doing a little more research yourself. Your assertion is false.
I completely agree. Upon my own self education, i am dedicating my life to becoming an holistic and spiritual healer. No living being should be forced the toxic chemicals we have been in the name of Almighty Greed, disguised as our only way to a healthy lifestyle.
we do need ‘modern’ medicine as well as tested natural remedies, where one practice ends the other has to begin, I don’t fancy being in a car crash and having a naturopath massage my open wounds better just as much as I don’t fancy taking an antidepressant which needs to be processed by my liver to combat depression caused by a build up of toxins in the liver.
A large majority of people who go into mainstream medical practice to want to help people and they do that, its just that any institution within the monetary system is forced to rip people off and create the need for itself so that it can be sustainable as a company which is why you see some of these things happening.
As for science not really being science anymore this website posts more psuedoscience crap than any other i’ve been to, if you really want to figure out what is science and what isnt look up the sources of what you are reading and make sure that they are peer reviewed studies which are repeatable and have not been disproved.
A surgen is a different type of healer then that of a homeopath. Surgery has been around for thousands of years….vaccines have not. Fluoridation of the masses has not. Mammograms and the likes have not. There is a time and a place for everything, but the majority of modern people think that they can make it all better with a pill or a shot, and it’s just not so.
I love it when anti government activists start using their own propoganda to try and battle the governments.
Hahaha agreed!
All is true written here. I’ve learned much of this over the years. They rather have patients and treatments then lose money and prescription stocks.
I always LOL or SMFH when I’m told to take medicine and so forth past checkups, to not use some natural products, etc. I’m a HEALTHY MOTHERFUCKER; perfect blood pressure, GREAT clarity, EXTREMELY RARE headaches and migraines, Cannabis is THE BEST MEDICINE and works in seconds to minutes, perfect weight my whole life, DARK BLOOD, I get sick maybe ONCE a year badly if at all, I have drank a HELLA AMOUNT OF TEA since 16, I hardly even unhealthy food, FO-TI herb has been great to me so far in the last week, etc. etc.etc.
Killuminati.
Zen. Namaste.
Clearly more highly educated.
They make that MONEYYYYYY MONEEYYYYY off you in America if you ALLOW THEM TO. The Aids cure is already out in Germany and a few men have been free of AIDS for over 4 years now. How about some faces of MANY in the prescription field when they lose HUNDREDS of dollars A MONTH off ONE PERSON in a 300 million+ populated brainwashed nation.
The last time I looked, preventative medicine increased the probability of positive outcomes. That’s nothing new.
This is one of the most inaccurate articles I have ever read. Medicine can be extremely helpful in certain cases and often treats the root cause. Doctors will often refer to nutritionists when nutrition is a viable alternative and the patient is willing to put work in. Also, people don’t pay enough attention to preventing disease, so yes many of diseases and disorders could be prevented by preventative medicine (a branch of modern medicine) but people don’t always want that. Do you know how many obese, sedentary smokers go into doctors office’s asking for the doctor to help them lower their cholesterol, body fat, or blood sugar. Doctors would love to say “get off your fat lazy ass, eat a salad, go for a run, and never smoke again” but people don’t listen. which leads me to cholesterol. There are five different kinds of lipoproteins; low density lipoproteins (LDL’s or “Bad Cholesterol) clog your arteries. There is no debate about this. You eat too much bacon, your arteries get tight, you have a heart attack. Of course you need fat (cholesterol) to live, but not all fats are created equal.
Vaccine’s have been proven to work. If you have the slightest idea how your immune system works you can see why this is. Also there are tons of studies to back this up.
Many diseases can be completely cured if caught early enough, and will almost certainly lead to death if not. Cancer is a great example. If a small group of malignant cells are detected they can easily be destroyed. If allowed to metastasize it is often unlikely to go into remission.
Lastly there is no evidence proving that the amount of fluoride present in tap water is of any threat.
Read a variety of sources and stop sticking to this far left propaganda. Alternative medicine is by definition medicine which hasn’t been proven to work, or has been proven not to work. It has been widely published that homeopathy and spiritual medicines do no better than placebo. Some naturopathy is valid, but do your research
Go back to the flock.
Very well written, Mike. I couldn’t agree more!
Well said, Mike. Another thing I would like to point out – I live in the UK so we have the National Health Service, but despite all the health campaigning both the NHS and charities do, there is definitely a lack of adherence to their advice. People are not stupid, they know that eating right and exercising is good for them, but it is a minority that sticks to these things and the health service is not to blame for the actions of the general public.
Are you a doctor or do you work for a pharmaceutical company by any chance? Because you’ve swallowed a whole bunch of bullshit if you actually believe what you wrote.
Yes…nicely written, but you are just plain incorrect about your statement “there is no evidence proving that the amount of fluoride present in tap water is of any threat.” Have you ever read the warning label on toothpaste? It is toxic and has a toxic level of “no more than 7 parts per million”…… and it was given to the Jews by the Nazis while they were in the camps. (This is part of history…look it up) All I am saying is, do a little research before you go saying something so bold as: “there is no evidence” More and more cities are removing this toxic substance from their water supplies (very rich communities, mind you), as Fluoride is considered a “medication”……..And the bottom line is, I personally do not wish to be forced to be medicated no matter how safe you or anyone else thinks it is. Period.
Rayne Grant: Sorry to burst your bubble but that whole “The Nazis gave fluoride to the Jews” thing is a load of horseshit.

You are talking shit! How can you possibly try to frighten people with this horse manure? You are SOOOOOOOOOOO irresponsible!
Do some actual research or you’ll end up doing research the hard way—by getting sick.
Great article. Agreed 100%. What is so fortunate for me is my Family Dr is all for Natural Health. He knows the truth about the medical profession and has been sadly kicked out of “all Local Hospitals because of his no nonsence approach to health care. If you disagree with this Article I encorauge you to do a lil research for yourself. What is said here is true. And yes vaccinations have helped ppl in the past, we can all agree on that. That was in years past when the medical profession actually helped ppl get better, not just treat the sympotoms. But NOW? Its a joke, do you have any clue whatsoever what is in them? Any clue whats in the food you eat everyday? Margerine is one molecule away from freaking plastic…. that right check it out. Your “fresh fruit” and “veggies” are frankenstien food. And Seth is completely 100% right, Americans fall for the medical bs left and right. How can you not see epidemic diseases in this country? Diabetes, heart attack, Mulitple mental problems, ADD, bi Polar, depression, all from the food we eat and the water we drink! Funny way back farmers ate a lb of bacon for breakfast EVERYDAY, and were healthy as horses. Its not the bacon killing you its the chemicals in the bacon.
Small-pox was one of the most horrifying diseases that killed millions of people and that was erradicated by vaccination, so I think this whole notion is a little extreme! However, I do agree that our society focuses so much on drugs, vaccines and other “modern western” medicinal strategies that simply don’t work or even make us sicker, but there are definitely instances where vaccinations are needed.
http://vaxtruth.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/ImmunizationGraphs-RO2009.pdf
How can you agree fully with this text, when it says there that every doctor doesnt want us to get healthy. Really? Every Doctor only wants to make profit? Dont you use your mind when you are reading texts you agree to.
No doubt that doctors intend to help their patients.. but when you speak with doctors that are not getting paid from certain insurance agencies it becomes very apparent that they want to get paid just like the rest of us and it most certainly create bias toward lower income patients.. and the patients that CAN afford treatments that they may or may not need.
I disagree of most of the things that are in this article. Well, if you’re talking about USA, I can’t tell, but in countries that have national health systems, like mine, Portugal, our health workers work a lot for guarantee the health of the people! I am a nurse, I work in a hospital, and believe me, we don’t treat people to make them sick again, and the philosophy of care is so far away from this!
Another thing, it’s very much dangerous make statements like this, because people can refuse treatments that can be the difference of a good life or a imminent death.
Conventional medicine it’s the cause that downgrade the rate of children mortality in a brutal way, almost zero, it’s the cause that increased the hope of life in the progressed countries, it’s the cause why many people survive from many diseases, such as pneumonia for instance, it’s the cause why many people that has terrible trauma accidents survive and can recover, some cases, totaly from that, it’s the cause why psiquiatric paccients are more accepted in our society…you can judge it just because a bunch of idiots make deals with it, you must be fair!
About the “alternative” medicines, there’s been an opening of minds of some health professionals to include it in conventional treatments, and some are refering it as “complementary medicines”.
Portugal is certainly not the same as the USA. If that’s how healthcare works there, then that’s a step in the right direction and I thank you for being a part of it. However, here in the States, medicine is by far the largest industry, especially with pharmaceutical companies. Speaking from my own experience, I had bad headaches for months, non stop. After countless tests and many doctors, I was finally diagnosed with “Chronic Headache Syndrome.” The treatment for this was an endless regiment of Soma and Loratab to control the pain. Riiiiiight. Well I finally found a holistic doctor who specializes is Kiniesiology and Chiropractic medicine. That wonderful man had me fixed right in about a week and I have been pain free, med free ever since. On top of that I know many people who have seen this man and he has saved them from many therapies and surgeries that have been known to do more harm then good.
By using homeopathy as a first treatment, my brother-in-law’s cancer advanced to a stage that nearly killed him…until he finally took the advice of his oncologist and switched to current proven treatments. Only then did his cancer go into remission. I am an RN and (based on patient histories) have never seen cancer progression slow with these unproven treatments. When it comes to surviving SERIOUS disease homeopathy is at best a role of the dice and at the worst a death sentence. Save yourself. Please don’t listen to this uninformed anecdotal propaganda.
One must understand that homeopathy and natural remedies are two very different animals. Although it would be a toss up for me at this point if my only options were homeopathy and a traditional M.D. In regards to cancer, have you looked into the usage of cannabis oil, which obliterates tumors with zero resulting harm to the surrounding cells and the entire body for that matter? Have you ever heard of the Gerson diet? I recommend spending just 5 minutes looking at those two remedies. Some people hold on to their core beliefs very tightly whether erroneous or not. If you can allow your mind to wrap around what you’ve been indoctrinated to believe versus the reality of the evidence readily available, it will likely change reality as you know it. That certainly was my experience. If you take a little time to do some independent research, you’re not likely to regret it.
My doctor says to exercise, eat right, and get out in the sun. Actually, all of the doctors that I’ve had have said that. None of them are trying to make or keep me sick. If it makes me part of the flock then so be it, but I am going to go with Occam’s Razor and say there is no huge conspiracy to keep everyone sick in this country.
Whether or not I agree with has been said (I’ve never had a flu shot and never had the flu…fancy that), my children can’t legally get into school without getting their vaccinations. So, unless I want my kids to not get their schooling and proper social learning experiences in various environments, I guess I’ll have to deal with the “conspiracy theories” for now.
Research John Taylor Ghatto and the history and origins of public school. Your kids would likely be better off. In regards to the vaccine requirement, try an “opt out” form. One can typically download one online.

Still thinks ADHD is a real disease
This article is pure bullshit. In Englsand we have the NHS which the government do not profit from, and that care, which uses REAL MEDICINE cures people everyday. Alternative medicine has either not been proved to work or been proved not to work. Do you know what they call Alternative Medicine that’s been proved to work? MEDICINE. Fucking hippies and eco freaks everywhere.
Anyone who has ever suffered a bpught of Shingles and refuses to consider the new shingles vaccination deserves to suffer! I suffered from shingles for decades and then got the immunization as soon as it was available to me. I have not had one outbreak since that time. I consider it a miracle. Also at 65 I have never had more than a small cavity and I attribute flouride as one reason for that (good oral care is the other reason). I walk about 3 miles a day for the sheer pleasure of walking and I am in remarkably good health in comparison to many in my age group. I say, enjoy the benefits of both holistic and AMA knowledge and practices.
“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.”—–Thomas Edison
That about sums it up!!!!
The information provided in this article has proven true in my own life. I respect each individual’s right to choose the medicine they feel is right for them. As a hobby I read medical research. What I have seen in the past couple of decades is a tremendous interest in the plant medicine used in Ayurveda. I recognize each of these plants as I’m an Ayurvedic practitioner. Researchers are trying to make them into drugs so they can make a profit for the corps. that fund them. One example is curcumin. It is a drug made from turmeric. Why?
You know the reason. Just use turmeric. Colloidal silver, ashwagandha, kalmegh (andrographis), methi ( fenugreek), neem, etc, etc. These and many dozens more have been used for 5 thousand years in India. Instead of giving credit to this system of healing researchers are trying to profit from it by turning this plant medicine into harsh drugs as well. Look at some of these beautiful plants on my website; curanderahealing.com
You forgot “Birth should happen in a hospital.”
All of this written above in this article is so true. I noticed that there were comments supporting vaccinations. I say one thing to these people – learn your facts before you open your mouth. You are totally uneducated on this subject. There is no science to vaccination. It is total bullshit.
Dr Majid Ali, check this amazing human on youtube, he has done it all and fully supports the more hollistic ways on all things chronic (over 90% of all medical issues) truth is within this man.
