It seems researchers today and hundred years ago, has more or less independently reached the same conclusions, which serves to validate the theories, and also the hypothesis of this thread that medical science has deliberately been led astray for a very long time with the objective to induce sickness.
Thank you too. My objective is not to find the best diet in the world, or understand all the details of how our body works at the molecular level, but to stay away from doctors and their treatments as much as possible! I think we can all agree on that.
Doctors on doctors:- Prof. Alonzo Clark, of the New York College of Physicians and Surgeons, says:
"In their zeal to do good, physicians have done much harm. They have hurried thousands to the grave who would have recovered if left to Nature."
- Sir John Forbes, Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, and Physician to the Queen's household, says:
"Some patients get well with the aid of our medicines, some without, and still more in spite of them."
- John Mason Good, M.D., F.R.S., says:
"The effects of medicine on the human system are in the highest degree uncertain, except indeed, that they have destroyed more lives than war, pestilence, and famine combined."
- Sir John Forbes is thus quoted in the British and Foreign Medical Review, 1846:
"In a large proportion of cases treated by allopathic physicians, the disease is cured by nature and not by them. For a less, but not a small proportion the disease is cured by nature in spite of them. In other words, their interference opposes instead of assists the case. Consequently, in a considerable proportion of diseases it would fare as well or better with patients, in the actual condition of the medical art as now generally practiced, if all remedies, at least active remedies, especially drugs, were abandoned."
- The celebrated Majendie, lecturing to his class, said:
"Gentlemen, medicine is a great humbug. I know it is called science. Science indeed! It is nothing like science. Doctors are merely empirics when they are not charlatans. We are as ignorant as men can be. Who knows anything in the world about medicine?"
- Professor Gregory, of Edinburgh, author of a work on The Theory and Practice of Physic, said:
"Ninety-nine out of every hundred medical truths are medical lies; and medical doctrines, are for the most part, stark, staring nonsense."
- Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, the well-known author, and a professor of anatomy in the Harvard University, in his " Border Lines of Knowledge " says:
"If all drugs were cast into the sea, it would be so much the better for man, and so much the worse for the fishes."
