Ten Lies About Health Your Doctor Taught You
Lie #1: Prescription drugs will make you healthier.
Truth #1: Prescription drugs only mask symptoms. They do
nothing to correct the underlying biochemical causes of disease.
Simultaneously, most prescription drugs cause nutritional deficiencies which
lead to further progression of chronic disease.

Lie #2: You should actively treat the swelling of sprains, strains and other
injuries.
Truth #2: Swelling is your body's natural strategy for enhancing the flow
of blood and nutrients to the injured area. If drugs or hormones are used to
prevent swelling, the injured tissues won't heal correctly, greatly increasing
the likelihood of repeat injuries to the same area.
Lie #3: Mammograms prevent cancer.
Truth #3: Mammograms
actually cause cancer.
They dose the breast tissues with harmful radiation. Even when they spot breast
cancer tumors, they aren't "preventing" breast cancer; they're merely
detecting breast cancer. True prevention requires changes in food choice and
lifestyle, not the use of imaging technology. See www.newstarget.com/000895.html
Lie #4: Vitamins give you "expensive urine."
Truth #4: The most expensive urine in the world is created by taking multiple
overpriced prescription drugs, not vitamins. With more than 40% of the U.S.
population now on prescription drugs, the drug content in human urine is now so
high that trace amounts of antidepressant
drugs can be found in public water supplies. Compared to drugs, vitamins
are cheap prevention.

Lie #5: The sun will give you cancer.
Truth #5: The sun will prevent cancer due to the creation of vitamin D
by the skin. Most Americans (and Canadians
and Europeans, for that matter) are deficient in vitamin D. As a result, tumor
cell growth in the breast and prostate is unregulated. Sensible exposure to
natural sunlight generates cancer-preventing vitamin D... at no charge!
Sunburns are actually caused by nutritional deficiencies (lack of antioxidants
in the skin), not by sensible exposure to sunlight.

Lie #6: CT scans (CAT scans) are perfectly safe.
Truth #6: CT scans expose patients to 1000 times the radiation of chest X-rays.
Repeated exposure to CT scans raises a patient's cumulative radiation to levels
experienced by many hydrogen bomb victims in Hiroshima. In addition, rigorous
studies have concluded that CT scans offer no medical benefit whatsoever. See www.newstarget.com/004060.html
Lie #7: The U.S. health care system is the best in the world.
Truth #7: The health of U.S. citizens is actually the worst of any
industrialized nation. We pay double, triple, and even quadruple the price for
prescription drugs as any other country. We also have the highest rates of obesity,
Alzheimer's, cancer and
diabetes, plus the highest health insurance costs in the world. The U.S. health
care system ("sick care system") is so bad that people are fleeing
the country to seek medical services in Asia. It's a trend called "medical tourism," and
it's flourishing.

Lie #8: All surgical procedures have been proven safe and effective.
Truth #8: There is currently NO requirement whatsoever that surgical procedures
must be either safe or effective in order to be practiced. Hundreds of
thousands of medically unnecessary surgical procedures are performed each year
in the U.S. alone, including hysterectomies and prostate cancer surgeries.

Lie #9: You can get all the nutrition you need from three balanced meals a
day.
Truth #9: Today's foods are nutrient depleted, and they come from depleted
soils. Processed and manufactured
foods would have to be eaten at the rate of 10,000 calories a day just to
meet minimum RDA requirements for basic nutrition (see related ebook on nutrition).
The only way to get adequate nutrition is to supplement with superfoods or
whole food concentrates (vitamins, whole food powders, supplement capsules,
etc.) along with eating healthy meals. Organizations like the AHA, however,
insist that nutrient supplementation is actually bad for your health.

Lie #10: All these lab tests are for your own good.
Truth #10: At least half of all diagnostic tests ordered by doctors are
medically unnecessary. They're often conducted merely to generate revenues for
the hospital or medical group that owns the doctor's clinic. Some doctors are
actually required to generate a certain dollar amount of lab test revenues in
order to keep their jobs.
