Immune for life: dancing the deadly disease dance IMMUNE FOR LIFE: DANCING THE DEADLY DISEASE DANCE
Thanks to all these medical fallacies, the average American spends the last years of life dancing the horrible "disease dance." What is the disease dance? It's the frantic stumbling from doctor to doctor, disease to disease, pill to pill and surgery to surgery. The disease dance is a frenzied search for names and solutions to our problems. For most of us, it's a horrid dance that goes on and on, ending only when we die.
There is a word, ^iatrogenic," to describe diseases caused by doctors. The drugs we prescribe can cause iatrogenic diseases; so can the different regimens we recommend, as well as the procedures and surgeries we perform. Medical journal articles suggest that unnecessary surgery causes thousands of deaths a year, plus an unknown number of cases of injury and misery. I remember going to the hospitals some years ago and looking at the surgical schedules. Whole families of kids were having T&As (tonsillectomy and adenoidectomies). More than 90 percent of the T&As were unnecessary; in fact, they were downright dangerous, because they removed parts of the children's immune systems (tonsils and adenoids). How many of these kids later suffered from compromised immune function? How many suffered from unnecessary disease? Doctors also used to radiate enlarged thymus glands in children, in order to shrink them. Today we know that the thymus gland is where the T-cells of the immune system receive their programming. How many people are walking around with a shrunken thymus, and reduced immune ability?
There's another fancy word physicians use to disguise doctor-caused diseases: nosocomial infections. Nosocomial infections are hospital acquired infections, which are very serious because our hospitals can be the breeding grounds for virulent germs that have evolved to resist the latest superantibiotics we use.
It might even be fair to say that some doctors are at their worst when it comes to prescribing drugs. Our pharmacies are filled with drugs, from simple aspirin to immunosuppressants for transplant patients. Drugs are ubiquitous; medicine chests are full of them. Doctors are busy prescribing common and exotic medications for everything from acne and insomnia to high blood pressure and depression. We doctors act as if we believe that disease is caused by a shortage of prescription drugs in the body.
We tend to look upon drugs as our saviors. But every drug, even the common aspirin tablet, has side effects. No medicine is absolutely safe—not one. I don't know how many patients I've seen who were suffering more from the side effects of their medicines than they were from the original problem. The benefits and risks of each and every drug must be weighed by both doctor and patient before medications are prescribed and taken.
Pain medications may result in dizziness, nausea, constipation or diarrhea, gastrointestinal bleeding, headaches and depression, among other problems. The narcotic painkillers are addicting. Antidepressants can cause high blood pressure, irregular heart rhythms, stroke, confusion, anxiety, numbness, nausea, dizziness, anorexia and many other problems. Arthritis drugs may lead to nausea, bloody bowel movements, ulcers, depression, chest pain, high blood pressure and other problems.
