I’m pulling together a few threads I’ve come across this week.
The first was in the local Saturday paper. A small article on page 21, about a “Doctor suspended for dubious cancer cures”.
The Q’ld Civil and Administrative tribunal suspended the Doctor for 6 months over her treatment of a ‘naturopath patient’ who requested an infusion of sodium bicarbonate into her cancer.
Dr O’Sullivan conceded to the tribunal that the treatment was not supported by “scientific evidence”. But whose scientific evidence are they referring to? How about a Dr Simoncini, the Italian Oncologist who was struck off for proposing that “Cancer is a Fungus” and treatable by sodium bicarbonate infusions into the site of the cancer.
How cheap would that solution be? The powers that be couldn’t countenance that treatment; who would make any money?
The tribunal found Dr O’Sullivan had breached the Guidelines on unconventional medical practice. Seems the “guidelines” are enforceable here.
I think Unconventional medical practice has to be better than the conventional sort, in most cases.
The second item this week is in regard to a Canadian Doctor Dr Shiv Chopra, retiring from his role as a Canadian researcher in the Government regulatory authority for medicines. He states in part,….”First, the findings of scientists would be neglected, overruled or ignored. Second, corporations would use their influence and money to bend governmental policy towards maximum corporate profits.”
“This model has dominated governmental health policy for the last 40 years, and has recently taken a turn for the worse. Today, the regulators are merely corporate insiders from the very industries they are assigned to regulate.”
“Either way, the regulatory system we now have in the US and in Canada is a well greased, politically run operation where companies are NOT required to prove the safety and efficacy of their product in peer-reviewed scientific literature.”
So here we have a retiring Doctor saying the traditional system is corrupt and fundamentally flawed in Canada, and you can be sure it is the same here and in the US. Money is the motivation for all the policy decisions, not patient welfare or care. The full article can be found here.

The third point is an article about The fuss coming from the imaging hierarchy about a safer alternative to x-rays, breast scans and all sorts of expensive machines and tests. Its called “Thermography” and takes an infrared photo of the body non invasively. So this new non conventional method is to be fought and discredited by the powers that be. Below is a video about the technology. It is impressive.
“Of course, as all too frequently occurs, the concern and emphasis is on loss of personal income NOT on what best serves the patient or how to adjust their business model to make it a win-win for them and the patient. When it comes to business decisions, it seems what is best for the patient nearly always is factored out of the equation.”, says Dr Mercola.
So what’s wrong with our medical system? How about greed, corruption, vested interest groups protecting their patch at the expense of good treatments. Suppressing the truth, treading on the heads of the little guys and putting their own interest first, second and third.
So how do we cope with all this. One person at a time. We all need to look out for ourselves and not follow the conventional line blindly.
Look for good nutrition, a healthy lifestyle, exercise, all the good basic things to keep you away from the medical profession in the first place.
My introduction to Tahitian Noni started me on a health crusade, and I am very glad it did.
