(FYI- I went with the more positive title. Other titles considered for this book)-
What is Modern Medicine?
My father, a Stanford-educated MD and surgeon, inadvertently summed it up one day in one sentence. He explained to me Jeff, every medicine in reality is actually a poison. That seemed a bit shocking to me at first, but I now know what he was trying to say. For ages, modern medicine has basically been a replacement for your normally functioning immune system that kills off bad actors like viruses, bacteria, fungi, and cancer cells. When your immune system for some reason is not doing its job, doctors step in and try to fashion a man-made replacement for the segment of your immune system that is not working.
So, your body wont kill off that infection by itself? No problem, go get an antibiotic -that should do the trick. The antibiotic is a poison that will kill off the bacteria in the infection that is very poisonous to bacteria and much less poisonous to you.
The problem is , your body should have prevented or handled the infection in the first place; if you did get an infection your immune system should have quickly killed it off. The doctors arent treating the true problem ; the true problem is that there is something wrong with your immune system. Modern medicine is just acting as a surrogate immune system that comes into play when yours is not working properly. Doctors have poisons for all sorts of diseases, or they will resort to surgery if the poisons dont work (a true admission of failure) but they never attack the real problem- fixing your immune system so that you never get sick in the first place. Fixing your immune system so that you never get sick again is what you will learn how to do in this book.
Now lately, modern medicine has been making steps in the right direction. They have finally started trying to fix your immune system so that it does its job. This can be seen in the rise of the biologics that are drugs designed to rev up one small part of your immune system to attack a certain disease like cancer or infections, or oppositely to suppress one small segment of your immune system that accidentally attacks good tissues which causes autoimmune diseases like MS, lupus, psoriasis, etc. If you pay attention to the huge number of ads on tv touting these drugs you will see a pattern:
Every biologic that revs up your immune system to attack bad actors like infecting bacteria, viruses, or fungi, or spontaneously emergent cancer cells (yes, our bodies generate cancer cells every day), almost all have side effects that include the triggering of various autoimmune diseases.
The revved-up part of the immune system often kills off the cancer cells or infection but then goes into overdrive at times and starts attacking your good tissues. Thus , the side effects of cancer biologics almost always include the triggering of autoimmune diseases.
Here is a list of the possible side effects of Keytruda used to treat the skin cancer melanoma, it reads like a whos who of tissues attacked in autoimmune diseases>>
SIDE EFFECTS
- Immune-mediated pneumonitis. (lungs)
- Immune-mediated colitis (intestines)
- Immune-mediated hepatitis and hepatotoxicity (liver)
- Immune-mediated endocrinopathies (adrenal/hormonal glands)
- Immune-mediated nephritis and renal dysfunction (kidneys)
- Immune-mediated skin adverse reactions
- Other immune-mediated adverse reactions
- Infusion-related reactions
Likewise, when you see an ad for a biologic for autoimmune diseases that suppresses part of the immune system to stop it from attacking your good tissues, the side effects are almost always infections and cancers!
Here are some of the side effects listed for the best-selling biologic Humira which is used to treat various autoimmune disorders such as Crohns disease and plaque psoriasis. By shutting down part of your immune system attack, it inadvertently allows bad actors like cancer cells and infecting organisms to slip by. So, the side effects of autoimmune biologics are almost always cancers and infections.
A black box warning in Humiras label highlights the risk of serious infections leading to hospitalization or death, including TB, bacterial sepsis, invasive fungal infections and infections d ue to opportunistic pathogens. It also features cancers, notably lymphoma and hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma.
What will be revealed to you shortly in this book is the identity of the ultimate biologic -
that revs up the attacking part of your immune system to attack bad actors, while simultaneously tamping down the part of your immune system that attacks good tissues. With NO SIDE EFFECTS!
This substance is cheap, unpatentable, easily available, and eventually will put many drug companies and doctors out of business after its widespread adoption by the general public.
Now lets look at another function of your body that sometimes goes haywire and causes chronic conditions - lets look at your tissue remodeling system .
What is your tissue remodeling system? It is that function of your body that is in charge of repairing injuries, breaking down and rebuilding incorrect tissue types like cysts, bone spurs, bunions, etc. It is even in charge of continually breaking down and rebuilding normal bones and tissues just to keep them fresh and new! When the tissue remodeling system is malfunctioning, the doctors have another simple solution- get out a scalpel and do the remodeling work for you! This highlights the other part of modern medicines tool kit- surgery.
Surgery seems sophisticated at first glance, but it is actually where doctors perform functions in your body that are supposed to be done by your remodeling system but are not.
Rather than fixing your remodeling system to rebuild your body according to the blueprints in the DNA in every cell in your body, the surgeons just go in and cut and slash to do what your faulty remodeling system is supposed to be doing. Many, and perhaps almost the vast majority of surgeries can be avoided by simply getting your remodeling system to start operating properly! Pardon the pun.
(I of course exclude surgery required to repair severe injuries from the category of unnecessary. Severe injuries are one area where we will always need skilled surgeons).
Now this is what you might find truly unbelievable- the substance that will perfectly tune up your immune system to prevent and cure virtually every disease known is also the master conductor of your tissue-remodeling system! They are two sides of the same coin! The ultimate biologic described earlier is also your ultimate tissue remodeling hormone!
And the great thing about this magical immune system and tissue remodeling hormone is that it is completely non-toxic at virtually any dose as long as you understand it and use it carefully with a few conditions which I will share with you later.
Most doctors will tell you this substance is very dangerous at low doses and you should never take it at the doses high enough to restore your heath and prevent all illness and chronic conditions! They will yell at you and tell you these doses are dangerous and toxic! They are so, so wrong- and we will have to ask later, do they really want to be right? Because if there is an actual substance that will fine tune your immune and remodeling systems- the need for doctors, hospitals, and Big Pharma will plunge by at least 90%! Your own body will perform most medical diagnoses, procedures and cures, the way it was originally designed, as opposed to your doctor trying to serve as a vastly inferior replacement for your bodys immune and self-repair functions.
