|Doctors kill more people than guns and traffic accidents
by Don Harkins

SANDPOINT — Last St. Patrick’s Day, Sandpoint Chiro-
practor Blaze Welch gave a lecture on how to “get off of the
disease scary-go-round” at the Gardenia Center here. The
purpose of the talk, which was sponsored by the North Idaho
chapter of Vaccination Liberation, was to teach people that
they are responsible for their own health. Dr. Welch also
discussed figures from right out of the Journal of the
American Medical Association (JAMA) which prove, through
accurate interpretations of their own words, that in the
last century we chose the wrong fork in the road with regard
to our health care paradigm.

Most people have been conditioned to believe in what is
called the “germ theory” of disease — that germs cause
disease. The truth is that germs (bacteria) are everywhere
and they are attracted to and proliferate in dis-eased
tissues.

Bacteria decompose dead matter. That is their job.
For instance, when a tree dies, bacteria come in and eat the
tree and it eventually becomes soil. Bacteria does not eat
a live, healthy tree. The same thing is true in people —
bacteria are attracted to dead matter. Therefore, if you
have dead matter in your body, bacteria will come in and get
to work decomposing the dead tissue so that it may eventual-
ly become soil.

In the mid 1800s, western medical science had the
choice of going one of two ways. Bechamp’s theory of dis-
ease maintained that every living thing has arisen from the
microzyma (the “fundamental unit of the corporate organism”)
and “every living thing is reducible to the microzyma.”

Bechamp believed that microzymas secrete fermentative
substances that aid in digestion in a healthy body and
evolve into bacteria when they encounter dead or damaged
cells.

Pasteur’s germ theory of disease maintained that dis-
eases come into our bodies and make germs that we must fight
so that we may be rid of them. J.I. Rodale explained
Pasteur’s “germ theory” of disease by stating that, “Germs
live in the air, every once in awhile get into a human body,
multiply and cause illness. Nothing to it at all. All you
have to do is kill germs and disease is licked.”

Bechamp’s theory placed all of the responsibility of
disease prevention on the individual and his lifestyle. In
a practical sense, there was no money in that and people
would be empowered with the ability to resist dis-ease by
taking care of themselves.

Western medical science went with Pasteur’s theory
because it opened the door which created the world’s medical
and pharmaceutical industries. Since the 1850s, we have
been developing new drugs to attack and kill the disease
invaders and the result has been epidemics of cancers and
sicknesses and diseases — and a very rich and powerful
pharmaceutical industry.

“Last year,” commented Dr. Welch, “the pharmaceutical
industry did $182 billion in drug sales world wide.” In
contrast to that figure, it cost approximately $183 billion
to treat adverse reactions from all of those drugs, said Dr.
Welch.

Dr. Welch read off some statistics which should cause
concern to anybody who sees an allopathic doctor, has medi-
cal insurance or may end up in the hospital someday. Again,
the following admissions were taken from JAMA:

The top five causes of death in the United States, in
order, are: Tobacco, alcohol, medical malpractice, traffic
and firearms.

According to JAMA, doctors kill more people than auto
accidents and guns. With that in mind, one has to wonder
why gun control is such a hot legislative issue when, per-
haps, we should be more concerned about doctor control.

“The number of people that doctors kill per day from
medical malpractice is roughly equal to the amount of people
that would die if every day, three jumbo jets crashed and
killed everybody on board,” commented Dr. Welch who added,
in defense of his own profession, “just imagine what head-
lines would result if a chiropractor or a naturopath acci-
dentally killed just one patient?”

Another JAMA statistic stated that 1/5 (20 percent) of
all people who see an allopath will suffer an “iatrogenic”
(doctor-induced) injury.

Again, according to JAMA, 16 percent of all people who
die in the hospital are determined by autopsy to have died
of something other than their admission diagnosis. In other
words, the doctor had no idea what was really wrong with the
patient and, therefore, the patient may have died for want
of appropriate care that would have been subsequent to an
accurate diagnosis.

Another trade publication, American Medical News,
stated that 28 percent of people admitted to hospitals are
there because they have suffered an adverse reaction to
prescribed drugs.

“We are miserably losing the battle against viruses and
bacteria. Antibiotics do not work. We need to take a
different tack because this is obviously not working,” said
Dr. Welch.

Dr. Welch made numerous practical and logical observa-
tions throughout his lecture. One of them is so obvious
that it deserves mention here. “When there is an epidemic
of, say, pertussis in a school and 14 of 200 kids get sick,
who gets studied?” he asked.

The answer, of course, is that the sick kids get
studied. They get studied by the county health district and
the health district accumulates its data and then tells the
newspapers about the epidemic of sickness and everybody then
flocks down to the health district or goes to see their
doctor to get vaccinated.

“Would it not be more appropriate to study the 186 kids
that did not get sick?” asked Dr. Welch.

Dr. Welch also read a quote from the British Medical
Journal which states that only one percent of all scientific
research papers which explore medicine are scientifically
sound.

So, if that is true, then not only are allopathic
doctors incorrect in their understanding of the basic nature
of disease, they are basing 99 percent of their conclusions,
and therefore their diagnosis and treatment of people, on
flawed science.
