Guest guest Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Vioxx: Sharing about Alternatives JoAnn Guest Sep 22, 2004 10:28 PDT Dear Group, There are various ways that we can promote education of alternatives and share the knowledge of alternative medicine throughout our daily life. If you are looking for loopholes in the system, they are becoming more apparent everyday! The opportunities abound! Recently I am observing that many people (and for good reason) are rapidly becoming disillusioned with allopathic medicine! I would like to give you a few examples out of my personal experience to illustrate this. There are just a few things that I would like to emphasize. The first is that we all need to educate ourselves more and more everyday to keep up with the times. On the health front things are changing very rapidly. The diet options that we had yesterday are not there today and may be more diminished tomorrow. This is why we need to use all the tools at our disposal right now. Some of the options that we have in America, foreigners do not have. I am discovering that many of the countries around the world do not even have the liberty of choosing between organically grown foods and genetically altered ones! We can thank God that we have a choice. Many people do not have. They have no option other than to accept Monsanto's offerings for their table. This to me is an evil that we are perpetuating around the world and the third world populations are suffering from the greediness of our multinationals! One example of this is the genetically modified soybean industry. The majority of all the soybeans that `we' grow are exported overseas to the Japanese and other far eastern cultures. Soybeans are a breakfast treat in their country. One example of this is a delicacy called `Natto' which is made from the soybean. The common people do not differentiate between the `modified' soybean and the organic soybeans for I'm told they are not aware of any differences. There are so many ways that we can help to educate our friends, acquaintances and family members. Health topics are uppermost on their minds. I have observed that there is a renewed interest in natural health, just in our own area. I will give you an example. We had known for some time that our new neighbor across the street was diabetic. It was obvious that he couldn't work, was overweight and having problems with his health. What I didn't know was that he is currently taking 16 different drugs for a diagnosis of fifteen different illnesses one of which is Parkinson's. This man has completed three college courses for various trades and is as smart, alert and intelligent as anyone, however I'll guarantee if he continues on those PD drugs his health will only continue to fail. He also informed me that the wife's mother had passed away on drugs… not an overdose, taken only as prescribed! The drug was called " Vioxx " ! She mentioned that she had been taking this for years for her arthritis. It was during her mom's surgery that she discovered the truth. The little old doc doing the surgery confided to her that the perforations in her mom's stomach was " caused " by the Vioxx drugs!! I am writing this to you, because since I have become aware you would not believe the scores of people I have talked to who have been prescribed " Vioxx " !! They even offered it to her husband. One word of warning! If you are going to insist on taking these insidious drugs, please do NOT take Vioxx! It is one of the very worst. And it WILL kill you! There are several other incidences in which I have encountered people who have been really what I would call `ripped off' by orthodox medicine. There is no other word for it!! I just happened to mention to the lady down the street that I have recovered from cardiovascular disease and she immediately started telling about her mom's experience. It seems that her mom had a heart attack five years ago and typically she was put on a long list of drugs that were supposed to bring her renewed life. As we all know, this never quite materializes the way that we are told and she continued to experience poor health, until they eventually prescribed a new `miracle' drug for her to the tune of $1,000 per day (for one `bag')! She continued on this medication for NINE months! During this period of time she just continued to get worse and worse! At her passing they were left with 15 bags of this `substance' (totaling $15,000 worth) which no one will purchase and they cannot get rid of. No one will take it for fear that it has been contaminated in some way. So literally, they have been left `holding the bag' so to speak. There is one other acquaintance I would like to tell you about as well. She is a little eighty year old woman of means. She is currently taking all sorts of medicine, one being Vioxx, following her doctors regimen to the letter. To be frank with you, she has been at death's door quite frequently. We have encouraged her to eat more fibrous fruits and vegetables. She has been using some " Jason " arthritis cream which we obtained for her at the health food store. Obviously this cream is one of the things that is keeping her alive! Although she will not change her drug regimen she will use the herbal cream because she knows it is effective and reduces her pain levels considerably. I am writing this to encourage any of you who have given up educating those around you. Never stop talking, it may seem like they are not listening or that they are ignoring you, but you never know what you may accomplish until you try and really natural health is not something that will be accomplished in a nanosecond anyway. It takes weeks and perhaps even months to reverse the damage we have all experienced from our environment, unhealthy diets and bad lifestyle. I am happy that the government is attempting to bring the cigarette companies to task for their atrocities! They are also the producers of margarine, the spread that brought me down! (heart attack). There are aisles and aisles of margarines still on the shelf. If they were trashed, the heart attack rate would be reduced dramatically! Don't be fooled, even Lee Iacocca's olive oil `spreads' and the much advertised, Benecol and Take Control, contain trans fatty acids (hydrogenated oils). It was not until I stopped eating them all that I started experiencing renewed health and vitality! Well, I have rambled on enough for now and I would like to note in closing that my husband of thirty seven years has made a decision that I feel is very important to us. He has informed me that he has made the decision to forgo the sugar and all other refined sweeteners. I am exuberant. I previously thought he would go to his grave with a twinkie in one hand and a ding dong in the other. This is one thing I never dreamed would be accomplished. This just proves to me that one should never give up `preaching' the truth. Someday, you never really know when, the truth will prevail! But then again, it is a choice and I might say a daily one! The pervasive evil of our perverted food supply, toxic drugs are all around us. It is getting worse not better and the way I see it, our very existence depends on our perserverance both in relaying the truth to the poor deceived souls who are suffering and keeping our own health untouched by the contaminants in the meantime. I have printed things out and made copies of some newsletters to educate those who are interested. The answer is in our persistance! You may not see any results the first time around. Don't let this deter you. The truth will prevail, you can count on it.
