Thread: Do you believe that all #doctors think that the only way to #health is through pharmaceutical medicine?

Take a look at a few quotes from some of those that thought otherwise 👇👇

“Every educated physician knows that most diseases are not appreciably helped by medicine.”

Richard C. Cabot, M.D. Professor Harvard School of Medicine

“The cause of most disease is in the poisonous drugs physicians superstitiously give in order to effect a cure.”

Charles E. Page, M.D.

“Medicines are of subordinate importance because of their very nature, they can only work symptomatically.”

Hans Kusche, M.D.

“The person who takes medicine must recover twice, once from the disease and once from the medicine.”

William Osler, M.D.

“If all the medicine in the world were thrown into the sea, it would be bad for the fish and good for humanity”

O.W. Holmes, M.D. American Poet, Professor of Medicine, Dartmouth College and Harvard University

“Drug medications consist in employing, as remedies for disease, those things which produce disease in well persons. Its materia medica is simply a lot of drugs or chemicals or dye-stuffs—in a word poisons.”

R.T. Trail, M.D.

“Every drug increases and complicates the patients condition.”

Robert Henderson, M.D.

“The greatest part of all chronic disease is created by the suppression of acute disease by drug poisoning.”

Henry Lindlahr, M.D.

“Medicine is only palliative, for back of disease lies the cause, and this cause no drug can reach.”

Wier Mitchel, M.D.

“Medical practice has neither philosophy nor common sense to recommend it. In sickness the body is already loaded with impurities. By taking drug – medicines more impurities are added, thereby the case is further embarrassed and harder to cure.”

Elmer Lee, M.D.

“Our figures show approximately four and one half million hospital admissions annually due to the adverse reactions to drugs.”

Milton Silverman, M.D.

“What hope is there for medical science to ever become a true science when the entire structure of medical knowledge is built around the idea that there is an entity called disease which can be expelled when the right drug is found?”

John H. Tilden, M.D.

“We are prone to thinking of drug abuse in terms of the male population and illicit drugs such as heroin, cocaine, and marijuana. It may surprise you to learn that a greater problem exists with millions of women dependent on legal prescription drugs.”

Robert Mendelsohn, M.D.

“Why would a patient swallow a poison because he is ill, or take that which would make a well man sick.”

L.F. Kebler, M.D.

“Drugs never cure disease. They merely hush the voice of nature’s protest, and pull down the danger signals she erects along the pathway of transgression.”

Daniel. H. Kress, M.D.

“There are over 10 million adverse reactions yearly from FDA-approved over-the-counter and prescription drugs. We are not talking about mild nausea or headaches. Between 60,000 and 140,000 people die each year from adverse drug reactions.”

Julian Whitaker, M.D.

“There are significant efforts by insurance companies to exclude preventive health care and education and the use of natural, inexpensive remedies, while ignoring the benefits of nutrition.”

Terry S. Friedmann, M.D.

“The necessity of teaching mankind not to take drugs and medicines, is a duty incumbent upon all who know their uncertainty and injurious effects; and the time is not far distant when the drug system will be abandoned.”

Charles Armbruster, M.D.

While many are blind to these truths we should not forget nor discount the words of those #doctors who were brave enough to speak out. #truth
