Whats Wrong With Medicine?

[Psydecar]

The Psychetruth website scores high on the Quackometer (It's not always accurate, but I think scoring a ten speaks a lot). I wouldn't give a second thought to any of the bullshit this guy spews out. Anyone who buys into this kind of nonscientific bullshit have no right to call anyone "ignorant". No doubt there are a lot of problems with the pharmaceutical industry, but putting your faith in "alternative" woo nonsense isn't the answer.

[legaleyesgreen]

phytocannabinoids acting upon our endocannabinoid system CURE the underlying problem

[GameFreak7744]

This is patently absurd. =/

There are countless research programs into trying to -cure- various conditions.

Yes, drugs to control symptoms are being used in the interim to, you know, stop people dying while we try to find cures.

There are -loads- of drugs that -do- cure loads of conditions. Look at antibiotics, for example; they target and kill the -source- of the problem - bacteria; anti-parasitics like malaria drugs that kill the source parasite; and the list goes on and on and on.

[BorderlineChronicles]

@GameFreak7744 I'm sorry but you might want to rethink your statement. Your example of antibiotics. Right now in the U.S. there are growing numbers of staph, MRSA, antibiotic resistant illnesses. Our body creates our own antibodies which means that in most cases, a bacterial infection can go away on its own. We're having to create more and more new drugs (and parasites) because the old ones become useless and ineffective. What you're saying is highly ignorant.

[August1977]

Treating symptoms is more lucrative than treating underlying causes, don't believe the pharmaceutical world has any more integrity than let's say McDonalds.

[carmy60]

OK I exercise on a daily basis, eat properly and take an ssri for my depression and the symptom is the chemical imbalance of serotonin. I think at times that I am fine and stop taking my medication while continuing to exercise and eat properly but my stable mood drops again into a depressive state until I start taking my meds again. So how can you say that I don't need my meds and the ssri levels are not the symptoms?

[carmy60]

Oh and I get at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night unaided by medication. I go to bed at 11:30pm and naturally wake up at 7: or 8:00am every morning even on weekends. I don't drink or smoke or use caffeine. I dont have any unusual stressers in my life and work the hours I please as I dont have to worry about money. Yoga is my favorite way to stretch and meditation is great for relaxation. I do however suffer from migraines but do not take medication other than tylenol reg. strength.

[AmaruRuna]

@carmy60

Is there any personal issue or unfinished business or even deeper desires or frustrations that affects internally your life?

Better take pen and paper, write all those issues even the ones that you trying to forget and put under the carpet, and DEAL with them

I have been fighting with hyper acidity, and by searching my feelings I found the real cause of that problem

[captaindrywall]

good presentation , thank you. Id better eat better.

[Mrspiderplant1]

Stop blaming your genes! So many times we hear this lame excuse for the cause of disease. Consider epigenetics: a gene becomes "switched on" when it's environment changes, so without going into detail the chronic stresses in your body caused by poor nutrtion, lack of exercise and poor attittude can cause genes to change. So it's not the gene which caused the disease, but the stressor. Look up epigenetics - this is not new science.

[QueenOfRockBand]

Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine.

[deltaxcd]

Unfortunately that is just nonsense, there is just no way to fix problem itself,

diet and exercise is just same symptom management as using drugs whixh is also as much expensive and much more torturing, when real problem is inside our half broken genes or natural faults.

You will newer cure anything with exercise or diet you will only manage symptoms.

Only way to cure diseases forever is to fix your broken molecular machinery. This needs new generation of drugs but none will make them.

[rich0292]

deltaxcd, firstly, he never mentioned genetic diseases, second your probably refering to for example if someone 'geneticaly' having a predisposition to heart disease for example, its in the family, even then genetics only plays apart, and heres where diet excersize and the lifestyle you choose comes in, again he never said that modern medicine does not have its part to play as well in health.

[deltaxcd]

It is not about efectivity but about choice.

In my opinion if you eat like pig and you get fat that is genetic disease, because there are few people who eat lots of crap and still are healthy.

If I am genetically ill and I get fat when I eat alot I need to live in constant pain doing exerices that I hate, eating nasty healtly food and I need to live lifestyle which I hate will all my guts just to manage these symptoms.

So I would rather ask doctor for some pills and avoid all that suffering.

[Brandonyeti575]

If you eat like a pig, and get fat, that's genetic? What kind of logic is that? They're are many forms of exercising, go for a hike in a beautiful place, ride a bike, go skiing, all of which not only contribute to exercising, but are fun too. Health food isn't nasty either, you just have a misconception of what "health" food is. It sounds to me like you are just a lazy, couch dwelling, back seat driver, who will never take any responsibility for your own actions.

[deltaxcd]

Yes, I am lazy I hate sports more that anything and fortunately because of my genetic I can eat as much As I like and I won't get fat even if I I expect that shit from toilet would taste better that dietic food. But unfortunately other are not so lucky and they get fat, and that is genetic disease.

and I would prefer to eat pills each day and watch TV instead of run around pointlessly. and so are may other people so dont force your "fun: on these who hate that "healthy" lifestyle.

[AmaruRuna]

@deltaxcd

I want to see you in another 22 years, you will be either a morbid obese as much of your people, or you will have cardiovascular disease or even an stroke, you fool, you can not be young forever, when you become older your body will pay the price

[AmaruRuna]

@deltaxcd

Diet and exercise is as "symptom management" as is taking your car for service every-time that its due.

When the brakes of your car fails or the light of oil turns, then you will ask "why it happen, why me so unlucky" The same will happen with lack of exercise and then years later, "why I suffer from heart disease, why I am so fat, why I am so unlucky

[deltaxcd]

@AmaruRuna

If I had to do excerice and diet today that would same as if I pay today, because exercise is equal to suffering for me.

I do not see any reason to live in hell all life just for reason that you could live in that hell for some longer.

as about heart diseases, there is cure for that: NIACIN is cheap and most effective drug without any severe side effects.

according to clinical trials it almost completely eliminates all heart strokes, unlike other expensive drugs.

[AmaruRuna]

@deltaxcd

.Exercise is the best option to look good, handsome and to get the hot chicks around, if you see this as "suffering" well there is something wrong with you, you really don't love yourself.

Those drugs will fix you, but you will still look morbidy later on, there is no cure to LOOK GOOD and feel appreciated, no drug can solve that, maybe in your mind, but not towards others

I wonder how you keep your car, waiting for the red oil or break indicator light to go on

[deltaxcd]

@AmaruRuna

I am handsome enough without doing any exercise. I probably have lucky genetic like my father who is eating all time but he is still thin as stick.

Anyway there are people who just like exercise and there are people who do not

same as there are people who like gardening and there are people who just want to eat products.

if you dont want to grow potatoes yourself you pay farmer to grow them for you, if you dont want to diet, you pay pharmacists for drug.

[AmaruRuna]

@deltaxcd

I knew people who are also thin but suffered from heart diseases and diabetes,

Genetics plays a fair part, like the quality of a car too, you can have a a BMW, if you don't give any service definitely this car will break down soon or later too; and as I told you, I WANT YOU HEAR YOU TELLING ME THE SAME 22 YEARS LATER.

Your answer is stupid, it shows how an idiot and immature you are the only reason is that YOU ARE LAZY !!!!and you have NO PRIDE IN YOURSELF !!

[deltaxcd]

@AmaruRuna

yes i am lazy and i am not doing to change that, i love being lazy . After all we made all our technology for a reason to release us from all that physical work. but why we are disusing my laziness?

I just say fact that I and may other people just hate healthy lifestyle. Maybe that is good for our body but our brains hate it.

Imagine if it was proven that eating your own shit for breakfast is good for health, would you do that every day?

[AmaruRuna]

@deltaxcd

Haha, do the brains hate physical work,there are two things that the brain showed its unhappiness, DEPRESSION and STROKE.

Have you heard the word HEALTHY BODY, HEALTHY MIND? When the body is sick the mind is sick too; ask your PC. Wanna get a fix? Tha s what drugs are for, and then U want more and more when the fix does not work anymore. But if you are lazy then where would you get the $ for the fix; employers don't like lazy bums either

[deltaxcd]

@AmaruRuna

in case you dont know some people do intellectual work, like programming or solving theoretical problems. And i would like to say that is big stress on our bodies, because if you are solving some hard problem you may be unable to sleep properly and eyes sometimes hurt.

could you do such work? i guess no, so why do you expect that everybody must be happy doing exercise for muscles if you newer exercise your brains?

[AmaruRuna]

@deltaxcd

For your information, I am a communications engineering researcher at Tohoku University, so research is a vast amount of intellectual work

When I feel stressed or tired I go for a run to warm up the body in the cold, or swim in the Uni pool, or lift some weight

Guess what, I get MORE ENERGY and ENTHUSIASM, and have a good HIGH without any drugs, just naturally; apart of jogging being FREE it improved my health, and any counsellor will tell you to move your arse to be MORE PRODUCTIVE

[deltaxcd]

@AmaruRuna

I think you do not understand what I say.

it is fine that you like exercise so much, but there are people who do not, and you cant force or convince someone to like something. or even claim that these who do not like same stuff as you are somehow lazy.

If there is work which you hate to do, you naturally pay someone to do that job for you and just get results.

Example: to lower cholesterol you can adjust diet, or use niacin with even better results.

[AmaruRuna]

@deltaxcd

And it is exactly how drug dealers get their customers hook it up to their stuff, and the idiots who don't realize that.

Well a person who does not like to do any physical work it is called LAZY,

Niacin had secondary effects on your sugar levels too, and it cost a lot. You don't need a diet for cholesterol, only stop eating frying foods, hydrogenated oils and enjoy a bit of fish fat and a good lamb chops will provide niacin for free and with so good taste

[deltaxcd]

@AmaruRuna

So even I I work and earn a lot, unless I move bricks I am still lazy?

Niacin has only one side effect: flushing. It is well tested and extremely safe. Price is nearly zero if you buy in bulk. Once you use Niacin you can eat all crap you want, your cholesterosl levels will be perfect.

Food is primaray source of pleasure unless you also have sex few times each day , so why should you even want to live if you my deny yourself from pelasures?

[azteckike]

thank you!

[stargazntreki]

chemo didn't save my father in law.

[mayrita1629]

gosh this video is amazing!

[flosstweed]

I'm glad I found your channel.

[DrunkenCellist]

Many medicines are used to manage symptoms, yes, but there are many drugs that target the root of the problem. In chemotherapy, drugs are used to target and kill off cancerous cells. And it works effectively in many cases, of course depending on the type of cancer and how far the cancer has progressed (in terms of metastasis). Antiviral drugs are not extremely successful overall, but they do have some effect and they do target the root of the problem as well.

[psychetruth]

Chemo drugs do not just target cancer cells. Even the most selective ones at this point target all fast growing cells.

This is one reason many chemo patients lose their hair; hair is a fast growing cell.

[DrunkenCellist]

Yeah, I know... drug targeting is one of the subjects of my interest :)

I'm just pointing out that there are drugs that target the problem and not just the symptoms.

[DrunkenCellist]

Obviously, if there is a way to make cancer-targeting drugs more selective, it'd be a whole lot better. That's what a lot of research is aimed at right now.

[DrunkenCellist]

@psychetruth Yeah, they're not great in terms of specificity, but that doesn't change the fact that they are treating the disease and not just managing symptoms. The root of the problem in cancer is out of control cell division, which is what most anti-cancer drugs stop. Depending on the type of cancer and its progression, there can be a very good chance for the cancer to be completely eliminated by a chemotherapeutic regimen.

[n00bzor86]

@DrunkenCellist

Wow very wrong..

Sorry. Chemo is probably the worst drug of all..

It is effective............... at killing everything.

[DrunkenCellist]

@n00bzor86 Like I said, cancer chemotherapy regimens generally do not have great specificity, but I'm making the point that they do not merely "manage symptoms", but rather are targeting the disease. What were you saying I was wrong about? This is absolutely true.

By the way "chemo" is not a drug...it's a treatment that includes drugs. Technically, any treatment using drugs is considered chemotherapy, not just those used for cancer.

[RevWillie56]

And Our Congress wants Socialized Medicine, like the Veterans Administration; where Veterans are getting treated for Symptoms, forget the cure. Pill Companies are paying kick backs to give pills to people to treat symptoms, more pills sold, more money for the pill company executives. I'm not a fan of pills and injections that treat symptoms and forget about curing the underlying problem. Pfizer laid off over 20,000 ppl. Shame ppl are getting well and not staying sick.

[linkus29]

Are there any exceptions that you know of? What about blood clots in the lungs and the resulting control measure, coumadin?

Even Andrew Weil on his web site advised if a doctor puts you on coumadin that there may be no real replacement. Perhaps he was saying there is no herbal replacement.

[lai893]

[LidijaSU]

drugs are the biggest money making machines. So, what do we do?

Anyway, thank you for this video.

[aeric003]

I agree with you and have always thought this. It is wonderful to finally hear it from a doctor. People need to understand that doctors and the drugs they give a patient do not completely alleviate one's condition. It has to come from the person as well. Thank you

[lexiconlover]

This video needs WAY more hits.When a patient knows better and wants to get to bottom of the symptoms, the doctor will ignore them or tell them to find someone else if they don't like that treatment...or just give that patient the runaround in general.

Let's cut doctors out of the equation as much as possible! Nurses do all the physical work anyway, so YOU should do the mental work!

We need all the good doctors and surgeons for emergencies only.

Do this & health care expense will go way down.

[DrunkenCellist]

This couldn't be farther from the truth... doctors are integral to getting to the root of the problem. A few bad doctors oughtn't spoil the whole bunch.

[addyjane]

I couldn't have said it better myself! Thanks

[SgtSabotage]

Why the hell is there a Vodka commercial on this video. Are we suppose to self-medicate?

CJ

[opaz79]

I honestly believe that soon we will have to buy drugs that allow our bodies to process the food that they have made toxic. Just think about it, they´re making genetically modified crops! You can´t change your lifestyle, you can´t even bake your own bread and get healthy food because the crop itself is toxic! I think this is how they will control who will live and who will die. You either play along and live or you get placebo in your cup.

[dejazzd]

Excellent video. Thanks!

I sent an email for your help

[mdekq007]

Modern drug design involves creating molecules that bind to receptor sites of cells to invoke a reaction (agonists) or to block a reaction (antagonists). Inventing these drug molecules is pretty much trial and error. There are a few exceptions but generally we do not yet have the knowledge to cure....pretty much all disease. Baring in mind we are living longer than we ever have done. What steps did doctors use to take to 'fix the cause' and 'solve the problem' in 99-100% of cases?

[6XstringXsamurai]

money.

there's no money in curing disease but there's a ton of money in forcing people to have to take a bunch of drugs to live with it.

just like drug addicts and junkies. It's the same principle.

[spicemilktea]

These Pills Kill Wills of the Spiritual Soul's True Cheers, They Just Train Your Brain to Disdain and Run Away from the Pain You Truly Feel

[mdekq007]

Yes apart from antibiotics we do not cure. Medicines are used to treat symptoms. I cant believe this 'doctor' believes that 99-100% of the time we can cure disease. I'd like examples on how to cure schizophrenia, epilepsy, parkinsons, type 1 diabetes, depression, HIV, ebola, hepatitis, cancer, anxiety, arthritis, thyroid disorders, Alzheimers, Menieres, cystic fibrosis..... this list is endless

[6XstringXsamurai]

amen to that!!!

[mjlany]

This is exactly what I was thinking. This man is a D.C. (Doctor in Chiropractics) and I'm sure he is very knowledgeable, however he is still a chiropractor. If he was a D.O. (Osteopathic Physician) or M.D. (Medical Doctor) I would of taken it more serious. Then again if he was a D.O. or M.D., he probably would have never made the video in the first place. This video makes know sense.

[mjlany]

That is in response to mdekq007 comment about him saying 99-100% of problems can be cured by us.

[0toSixty]

mjlany, your statement makes "know" sense. Dr Vincent Bellonzi seems to be saying that it is good to be aware that managing illness is not the same as curing illness.

[angohead]

excuse my vocabulary i'm only 15 but if symptoms are bodily reponses to a "deeper" problem (these responses are what we see as "signs"), are the symptoms not part of the condition/disease a person is suffering from? if so, by alleviating these symptoms or stopping them all or completely, are you not effectively treating the problem? e.g. if blood sugar levels are low and a symptom is faintness, isn't "treating the symptom" equal to increasing the blood sugar levels (which is the problem)?

[SunTzuLao]

in a way but low blood sugar levels are due to some sort of problem.  Nutritional deficiency or a problem with an bodily function for example.

[bgbyer]

Doctors are businessman, and anybody who thinks that western medicine is altruistic is kidding themselves. Management of disease is where the $ is, not cures. Have a disease that can't "manage" they will get you out anyway they can, even call you "crazy". Just stating what I have experienced. Empower yourself!

[pongman]

Not all doctors are like that. I know a doctor who lives in Cambodia graduated from Harvard and did four fellowships in orthopaedics; spine, tumors, hand, and total joints. He believes in taking care of the most poorest people in that country. He opened up a hospital there and the lines of patients are a mile long to his clinic.

[pongman]

I also know some Harvard doctors who could live off their family fortunes and not have to work a day of their lives but elected to go into medicine because they think it's an honorable profession and want to help humanity.

[bgbyer]

That is good to know, thanks for sharing.

[pongman]

You're welcome. Again, not everyone is into materialism. It is the small minded people who perceive status with materialism.

[lrshryock]

BRAVO!! I AGREE 110%! I am one of those people who are getting their symptoms treated. I wish I could figure out how to heal!

[e1nn]

Love this video, I was on anti-depressant and I thought it would cure me, 3 years later I had gained 52.lbs in weight,to high blood sugar and still depressed, then I decided to do something about it, with exercise, got myself back to 170 lbs, 2008 I stopped taking anti-depressant and starting finding real ways to deal with the problem. I must say that the depression is there is was there even on drugs, and I've had many difficult days, but the medication is not going to cure me. I am.

[justintempler]

e1nn,

congrats on the weight loss and the attitude.

[blossom420]

another excellent video! thanks once again! :)

[jaysonness]

As a pharmacist, I must say that this video states a truth that people do not want to hear. People want to eat pills to make them better. They have ABSOLUTE trust in doctors and no trust in themselves.

Hi, Ive been on Olanzapine for 11 years, however, I now use zone fish oil, Homecystien modulators & many other orthomolecular supplements. Is it posible to safely detox the Olanzapine? Ive tried going cold turkey before without success

[audrey13579]

I'm on meds for depression. I thought that the meds I'm on corrected the chemical imbalance in my brain. Do MAOI's and SSRI's only treat the symptoms or do they correct the problem?

[psychetruth]

If the problem were corrected, you would no longer need to take medications.

Addressing the cause of the problem would be addressing the reason for the "chemical imbalance" in the first place.

The "reason" is not genetic either. You have the same genetic make up that you had when you were born, it hasn't changed. Actual genetic disorders are ALWAYS present. So unless you have been depressed every single second of your entire life, it's not your genes.

[GameFreak7744]

@psychetruth In many cases, a course of antidepressants isn't a permanent thing; for example post-natal depression - the patient is put onto a limited course, and generally doesn't need to return to the medication once that course is over.

[pixygiggles]

They only treat the symptoms. A good psychiatrist would actually tell you that. I had to really press my psychiatrist to tell me this; but it is true. They only treat the symptoms of the depression.

[EGMAG]

Dr! All you are claiming in this vid is "Palliative" treatment of symptoms verses the cure!

You have not mentioned exceptions as when symptoms are treated that effects the cure of the main cause. Example Hepatitis C. It is the symptoms that alert treatment with Interferon expecting a cure of the virus! This drug aims directly for the cause and if not monitored properly has caused symptoms "first" of, and and then created terrible Diabetes in "millions" of people!

[EGMAG]

This drug tends to seek out the H-c virus and unable to find many, continues to circulate attacking the Beta cells in the Islets of Langherhans of the pancreas! So you have a case of symptom, treatment, cause of another disease.

[EGMAG]

3--EXAMPLE: My point is in your vid you may have exceptions to all you have related, according to the varying metabolism of each patient! If one has symptoms of the flu and the immune system kicks in immune resistance to it then through treating the symptom the underlying cause of symptoms is cured! BTWay--Of course the body does take over for itself and continues the cure through good nutrition and exercise, or it dies!

[cochisestronghold]

The mind has alot to do with it I have a friend that is 96 years old,she was a teacher. Her mind and memory is very sharp. She uses natural meds. herbs, green teas organic vegies. I think and hope that she lives many more.

[gortaithe]

diabetes type 1 is not cureable yet, no matter how healthy foods or exersise. type 1 is when the pancreas cells do not make insulin for whatever reason. there is no 'cure' for type 1. Type 2, is a better example for this video because it is preventable with diet and exercise. when someone does not manage this, they may become dependent on insulin injections. BUT keep in mind they did NOT go from type 2 to type 1. that is just a misconception. they are simply an unmanaged type 2

[EraofAwakening]

Reminds me of what Bruce Lee wrote. "Let yourself go with the disease, be with it, keep company with it- this is the way to be rid of it."

[hardleecure]

It's all about money. The last time a disease was cured was when the cure for Polio was accidentally discovered. After that there has been no cure for any ailment. The drug companies will lose so much money if they happened to actually cure the diseases instead of hiding the symptoms.

And like the Dr said. The just hide your symptoms. It's like breaking the 'check engine' light on your car when it turns on.

[daniboybicep]

Grave oversimplification! Doctor's do try to treat the underlying causes in a disease process. Consider an infection, where the underlying cause of symptoms is the presence of for example bacteria. Administration of the right antibiotic will many times cure what could have otherwise had serious consequences. In chronic disease states (for example diabetes), the case is different and since no cure exists presently, doctors treat the symptoms.

[psychetruth]

Antibiotics were possibly the greatest medical discovery of all times. Unfortunately they are the exception to the symptom management model or are they?

The cause of most infections is actually a not the bacteria but a compromised immune system due to poor heath and life style. This is why I haven't missed a day of work in four years.

Doctors don't address the compromised immune system though, they hand out antibiotics willy-nilly often when they aren't even needed.

[EGMAG]

psychetruth antibiotics<

In direct proportion to the patients health to begin with; Antibiotics over prescribed, tend to cause the bodies immune resistance to lower, until a total dependency becomes evident! Thus stronger and stronger doses begin to have no effect on the targeted infectors! A "compromised immune" system got that way from the invading infecting microbia in the first place! Even the most healthy immune system can become defeated by certain strains of powerful infectious invaders!

[psychetruth]

Antiviral drugs do not actually cure viruses by the way.

antifungals do actually kill fungal infections.

Besides antimicrobial drugs, you will have a hard time coming up with examples of drugs that cure and keep in mind that even after an infection is killed, the antibotic doesn't heal the damage caused by the infection, the body still has to heal itself via natural processes.

[latinita1988]

exellent explanation!!

[cyberpsygen7]

what about the fact that the filters at the waste water treatment centers are not designed to remove medicine molecules? when you pee out your pills they get recycled back into the cities water supply.

bottled water also comes from city water supplies, so don't think u dodged the bullet there people.

whatever one person is on, we are ALL on, even though its a low dose...for now. since some of these molecules never break down, we will all eventually be on high doses of everything.

[GameOvrMan]

agreed

[Zeno9292]

but if they never cure you you have to keep buying there Medicine

[kellero69]

I agree with the idea that: We don't have health care in america...we have sick care.

[ItsaUFOduh]

nothig wrong with prescription drugs. and the empty bottles can be reused as toys for kids

[intercourseman69]

prescription drugs do help to some degree, but what they ultimately do is sustain an alter state of psycho activity. it's basically being high on amphetamines for months at a time. studies show that counseling and drugs help best in combination b/c you can first of all get over yourself as far as how you feel, and then you can solve your own problems without the burden of feeling like shit basically

[Gonji]

What about AIDS and the Avian Flu? Will the body work better to cure itself from these? I'm curious..thanks for the video!

[weesmeister]

The last thing pharmaceutical companies want are drugs that cure, and even less, drugs that last. People should know that we start off being healthy and deteriorate because of our habits. We shouldn't be dependent on conventional medicine as a first resort.

[ladycamm]

I REALLY AGREE WHAT U SAID

[pongman]

I disagree because the person that finds a cure for AIDS, or Cancer will win the Nobel Prize and the drug company that manufactures and markets that drug will make billions of dollars and put the competition out of business.

[weesmeister]

That doesn't disprove my point. I'm not talking about individuals but companies and lobbyists that profit from that - the very same competition that don't want to go out of business.

Conventional medicine is great in curing where all else fails. Otherwise, prevention is better than the cure.

[Struckgold]

It's a little dis-heartening that this video has had only 1551 veiws. Doctors need to be critical about what they do instead of treating people without thinking.

[jaxkipi]

Excellent 5*'s!

[thehappywriter1]

FANTASTIC information. Thank you.

[Sibelius19]

I don't think it's true that there is no medication which is designed to cure an illness. Most aren't though.

[DeeeAnnna01]

The only medication that I understand to help more than just the symptoms would be antibiotics for bacterial type infections in which case they are not actually a "cure" but assist out own bodies' antibodies in fighting the bacteria causing the problem. Our bodies have the ability to heal themselves, and were designed that way. Just my opinion.

[pongman]

What, are you kidding me? Take a petri dish loaded with staphylococcus and sprinkle some penicillin on it and watch the bacteria die.

[DecemberMoonGoddess]

I love this guy!!! This info is so true. I study homeopathy and it's all about curing the cause not the symptom. I think that people do recognize this but they just don't know how to go out taking control of their health

Some of us get sick in some way or another because we don't eat well and we don't exercise enought.

[DarthVenomAizen]

nice vid. now i look if i had the right medicine

[leroycanty]

Thank You So Much!!!

[hypemuch]

in many cases, the true cause of disease is the person.

[Jayhawkblue]

Actually, God is the one that heals.

[Drummer2k7]

u cant bottle and sell god

[Mediawatch08]

Says who?

[mazzyou]

Sure you can, its called the bible.

[Drummer2k7]

nope u fail at religion

[pongman]

Sure you can. That's why we have so many religions. Religion is the most profitable industry in the world. Where else can you buy something for nothing? lol please pass the plate and donate till it hurts, for salvation can only occur if you donate more.

[havoctrend]

Tithing in the Bible is a command.

Praying by faith is what heals.

Do you believe God or just believe in God?

The Bible never says anywhere that you can buy salvation....... the Catholic church "satans" claims this BS that you state.

Take care

[pushit316]

why did you even say that

[WeCanAllGetAllong]

The only safe vaccine is one that STAYS in the bottle.

And there is a ton of doctors out there that are not in it to make you healthy,because that dont help bring in the money. Sadly! I hope your NOT one of those doc.

YEs feed the body what it needs to fight off disease,and thats all naturals.

[gerry2345]

Great advice. I am so sure this will help people who have inhearited diseases.

[leweeja66]

I enjoy all of your segments Dr., but I have to disagree with you on this one. If someone were to come into your office with schizophrenia or pneumonia, would you tell them eat an apple and take a long walk. You would answer that this oversimplification of your treatment, and you would be right. Fixing someone's blood sugar won't cure diabetes, but it will help them to live a longer life. In a perfect world we would all be healthy without medicine, but we don't live in a perfect world.

[auamoti]

you'd be surprised by what you might find in the form of dietary assistance to overcoming at least pneumonia (ex2). also fake 'diseases' like adhd are helped by DHA, .. something in your multivit.. anyway nice point but i have to kindly disagree with you.

learn more about natural medicine and see.

[TheNeocatZone]

I'm sorry about this, lew, but I didn't hear anything in the doc's video suggesting that we totally avoid conventional medicine. So I'm not sure where your oversimplification comes from. We will always have medicine. But we don't need businesses profiting off of disease. Peace.

[leweeja66]

A sad but true fact is that most of the drug companies put more of there money into creating meds you have be on for long periods of time if not forever. Not as much proffit in making a drug you only have to be on for 10 days. Dr. B cannot cure scoliosis but he can decrease the degree of angle in the curve, thus decreasing the symptom of pain. Chiropractors are not starving either in treating symptoms.

[TheNeocatZone]

Here's the thing. Suppose one day Dr. B or someone else finally discovers a cure for scoliosis and its totally safe and quite affordable. Will those drug companies sell it or give it a fair chance? No and no. There's no profit in meds like that and so they'll throw their money around to stop it. And that's a problem that needs solving.

[heightboosting]

so real so real,,, i love these videoes.. they are so genuine and true.. people need to wake up-- Hippocrates said : let food be your medicine...

[sunnywaterfalls]

Hey doc. Great vid. I absolutely agree with you and I've known about the body's infinite wisdom in healing itself once the conditions are right. However, you mentioned that what we eat is fundamental, next is physical activity....but what about state of mind? By increasing the love, happiness, purpose and passion in one's life and completely eliminating stress,anger and fear, the body will immediately start responding and healing. Mental state has to be up there with diet and physical activity.

[aryanfolk88]

defiantly worth thinking about..

[sugarpuddin88]

American medicine is ranked 54th in the world

The education system docs get is based on the rote memorization of frivolous factoids; rather than using "problem solving" learning strategies & critical thinking!
