It's total nonsense. Dangerous nonsense I should even say.
This plea for "alternative medecines" is extremely suspect in its origin, given the weird and wild theories it pretends to describe.
Thinking can be dangerous. Don't try this at home kids!OK: this delirious paper about the "so-called" dangers of science and modern medicine comes from a creepy cult called the "Universal White Brotherhood".

So people please: avoid this at all cost: your sanity, your health and your money are at stake and those people are VERY DANGEROUS.
I just hope our dear JAVO is not one of them.
But seriously, I expected a response like this. Questioning the fundamental paradigms of life scares people.
I don't know if the article is somehow connected to that cult or not. It doesn't matter to me enough to research it. I prefer to consider ideas on their own basis regardless of their source. Everything has some truth to it. I enjoy exercises in free thought where all possibilities are entertained.
The article appears to be endorsed by Suzanne Humphries who has earned an MD, as it resides on her site and is referenced by her as explaining the issues very well.
Dr. Suzanne Humphries is a conventionally educated medical doctor who fully and successfully participated in the conventional system from 1989 until 2011. During those years she witnessed first-hand how often that approach fails patients and creates new disease. She left conventional medicine to research the many problems in mainstream medical practice, to write, and to conduct a holistic medical practice
But the counterpoint is that by "introducing" the organism to the host, the experimenter has created an artificial condition which may not exist in the natural infection process. In many cases, the method itself presupposes the germ model.The basic premise of the excerpt quoted here is seriously flawed, however. Yes, healthy tissue is better at fighting disease than compromised or unhealthy tissue. That does not mean that "germs" (bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, etc) don't cause disease. One of Pasteurs's contemporaries, Robert Koch, proved this. When there is a disease caused by a microorganism, it is isolated from the diseased tissue, grown in pure culture, and introduced to a healthy host. It causes the same disease in the previously healthy host.
I agree with this perspective.I don't think science is mistaken, only incomplete.
It's only common sense that people survived most of history by more than trial and error, and EVERY indigenous culture has used medicinal plants pretty effectively for longer than modern medicine has been in existence.
Later in the article, the author says that also.our bodies are free of dis-ease when our blood is at a more alkaline PH.
Interesting. I'll have to read more about that.I also know that there are ways that you can heal yourself by engaging the sodium - potassium pumps (which create the energy in each cell [MENTION=15773]greenfairy[/MENTION]) To stop your own blood proteins from spilling into your cells. (which then, is what causes the PH of your blood to become more basic.)
