Almost every AI response in medicine ends with patients should discuss their medical history and any other medications they are taking with their healthcare provider. One AI search result concluded that one should discuss individual risks and benefits with a doctor when starting statin therapy, and another said consultation with healthcare providers is essential for optimal management of cholesterol levels and arterial health. Dr. Perrin Downing, a urogynecologist at Axia Women’s Health in Allentown, Pennsylvania, says, “If you are worried about your urine color, especially if it seems unusual for you, it is never wrong to consult a doctor.”
There are many options to explore when in pain, and perhaps a doctor should not be so high on the list of people who can offer proper care. One might first visit an acupuncturist, a chiropractor, a nurse practitioner, a homeopathic physician, or other healthcare practitioners before risking one’s life with a doctor dedicated to pharmaceutical madness. However, a doctor’s diagnosis can provide a valuable reference point, a marking on a compass point, but they are standing on quicksand regarding science and pharmaceutical integrity.
“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of the New England Journal of Medicine.” – Dr. Marcia Angell, a physician and longtime editor-in-chief of the New England Medical Journal (NEMJ) (source)
“The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness.” – Dr. Richard Horton, the current editor-in-chief of the Lancet – considered to be one of the most well respected peer-reviewed medical journals in the world.

Just because someone is a doctor doesn’t mean they know what is best for a person’s medical condition. Yet it is common for many doctors to get very upset when patients don’t bow down and worship them. Pediatricians, for example, are only willing to work with you if you agree with everything they say about vaccines. Give them all to your children, or you will commonly not be allowed to go back to the doctor’s office. If a patient feels the need to hold back from talking to their doctor about anything, it probably means the doctor is not for you.
Doctors routinely perform procedures that aren’t based on high-
quality research, or even in spite of evidence that contradicts their use.
Many people in constant pain for months on end go to a doctor. He orders blood work, an X-ray, a sonogram, and sometimes a CAT scan. All results come back normal, so your doctor dismisses your concerns. Maybe he accuses you of being a drug seeker since the only people with “real” pain are either dying or lying. However, too many people live with doctors, medicines, and endless exams and, nevertheless, are constantly sick. Doctors and the governmental institutions behind them do not think anything is wrong.
Researchers from the University of California at San Francisco studied the average radiation dose delivered to over 1,000 patients who underwent 11 of the most common diagnostic CT scans. They found that the amount of radiation delivered by each scan varied widely. Even when looking at the same type of scan on the same body part, one person’s radiation exposure could be as much as 13 times higher than another’s.
When your doctor misdiagnoses what’s wrong, the results can be devastating. Misdiagnosis is the number one reason for malpractice lawsuits and a leading cause of patient deaths. Thousands of patients in the United States are the victims of wrong, missed, or delayed diagnoses every year. As many as one out of every five patients seeking a second opinion at a renowned medical center are found to have been incorrectly diagnosed the first time around.
Dr. Ryan Gray says, “Being a good doctor is hard work, especially considering the current state of our health care system. Some doctors, however, are bad news. Don’t think for a second that I believe all doctors are saints. And because most doctors today have comparable education and credentials, bad doctors don’t stick out like sore thumbs.”
Doctors are systematically mistaken about important medical facts. Doctors are not infallible. They often make diagnostic errors. Though the incidence of such errors can be hard to measure, autopsy studies provide one metric that is hard to dispute: “major diagnostic discrepancies” were identified in 10–20% of cases (Graber 2013).
Almost ten years ago, the US News and World Report said, “Estimates dating back nearly two decades put the number at 100,000 medication or more deaths annually, which includes a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1998 that projected 106,000 deaths. A more recent analysis estimates 128,000 Americans die each year as a result of taking medications as prescribed – or nearly five times the number of people killed by overdosing on prescription painkillers and heroin.
Our prescription drugs are the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer in the United States and Europe. Around half of those who die have taken their drugs correctly; the other half die because of errors, such as too high a dose or use of a drug despite contraindications.
Medication errors are the most common and preventable cause of patient injury. These errors typically involve administering the wrong drug or dose, using the wrong route, administering it incorrectly, or giving medication to the wrong patient. The reported incidence of medication errors in acute hospitals is approximately 6.5 per 100 admissions.
According to the 2019 World Health Organization (WHO) factsheet on patient safety, adverse events resulting from unsafe patient care rank among the top 10 causes of death and disability worldwide. In the United States of America, preventable adverse events lead to an estimated 44,000 to 98,000 hospital deaths annually, surpassing the number of deaths attributed to motor vehicle accidents.
Eustace Mullins, of the National Council for Medical Research writes,
“I discovered that physicians, despite their great power, were themselves
subjected to very strict controls over every aspect of their professional lives.”
One serious cost of blaming doctors for mistakes is the phenomenon known as defensive medicine. The harms resulting from underdiagnosis and undertreatment are usually much more spectacular and easy to understand than the harms resulting from overdiagnosis and overtreatment. This means that doctors can minimize the risk of being sued for malpractice by erring on the side of the latter. According to one estimate, defensive medicine costs the US between $650 billion and $850 billion annually.
Children are much sicker today than ever before, and pediatricians have no
clue as to why. They will not conceive that their drugs and vaccines
as being part of the etiology of dramatic increases in childhood disease.
“One thing most doctors and nurses agree on is that the EHR is bad for health care. Most large networks and hospitals have transitioned to one form of EHR or another. I’d go so far as to say that,” writes Dr. Amy Walsh. Modern healthcare is very much an authoritarian institution where patients come in and are told what to do by the Olympians in white coats. Some see modern medicine as a colossal racketeering operation, which is much the same worldwide.
Istanbul prosecutor has indicted 47 people, including doctors and nurses, over the inappropriate treatment of babies for profit, causing the death of at least 10 newborns in one of Turkey’s biggest health scandals in recent years.
The Health Ministry has shut down nine private hospitals as a result of the investigation, with a total of 19 health institutions deemed to bear responsibility, the indictment said. Some defendants could be sentenced to as many as 589 years in jail if found guilty.
Conclusion
When we seek the solution to all our physical ills in conventional medicine, what usually happens is that in curing a symptom, we create others – whether in the short or the long term. All pharmaceutical drugs and other conventional medicine practices have side effects, locking us into a never-ending circle of health problems.
