Show Notes: Forbidden Cures & Alternative Medicine

Here are some scattered show notes taken from the 1/7/2020 broadcast, featuring Charles Pixley, where we learn about Mr. Pixley’s personal quest to expose the oppressive history of American Medicine and suppression of ideas — after the guest, the second half of the show stays on topic with personal thoughts, and timely callers — Enjoy:

Run From The Cure – the story Rick Simpson and the development of cannabis oil

Cancer - The Forbidden Cure

But there are other interesting people I’ve come across over the years that have at least made me think:

I was able to be a part of an interview with Dr. Nick Gonzalez when he was still alive. He was trained in Western Medicine and broke away to develop dietary treatments for pancreatic cancer:  Here is a little about Dr. Gonzalez since it’s probably the first time you’ve heard his name:

Graduated from Brown University, Phi Beta Kappa, magna cum laude with a degree in English Literature. He subsequently worked as a journalist at Time Inc. before pursuing premedical studies at Columbia University, and then later receiving his medical degree from Cornell University Medical College in 1983.

During a postgraduate immunology fellowship under Dr. Robert A. Good, considered by many to be the father of modern immunology, Dr. Nick completed a research study evaluating an aggressive nutritional therapy in the treatment of advanced cancer.

Since 1987 he had been in private practice in New York City, treating patients diagnosed with cancer and other serious degenerative illnesses, with nutrition, enzymes, and detoxification.  He died in 2015.

Other people mentioned: Otto Warburg, Dr Leonard Coldwell, Dr. Bernardo (Alkaline Diet)

These are the types of minds that are behind the development of alternative therapies – so it’s not all snake oil.  Just like Western Medicine is nowhere near as safe and efficient as it’s touted as being…

Death caused by prescription drugs – 100k a year 

Do You know how much Vioxx I filled at the pharmacy I worked at in High School and college?  At least a 100,000 doses.  Meanwhile, years later we learned It was giving people heart attacks – I think near 60,000 people died.

In 2013 a study in the Journal of Patient Safety says that Medical Malpractice numbers may be much higher than that — between 210,000 and 440,000 patients each year who go to the hospital for care suffer some type of preventable harm that contributes to their death, the study says.

CNBC, 2018 reported something similar:

·         A recent Johns Hopkins study claims more than 250,000 people in the U.S. die every year from medical errors. Other reports claim the numbers to be as high as 440,000.

·         Medical errors are the third-leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer

…With numbers like these coming from “legitimate” science, who needs quackery?
