Lessons from Jon Barron
Health VS Disease Industry    In this week's excerpt from Lessons from the Miracle Doctors, Jon Barron describes how we no longer have a "health" industry, but rather a "disease" industry.  "I know a lot about doctors. I was pre-med myself in college, and there are many doctors in my family. I both respect them for the dedicated service they provide and, at the same time, am very angry with them for the needless suffering they inflict. The problem is that doctors are only human, and as such, they have all of the brilliance, stupidity, nobility, greed, dedication, flaws, and ego traits that plague each and every one of us. None of this would be a problem, except for one fact: despite their human frailties and lack of divine insight, they have set themselves up as the only authoritative dispensers of health care in the developed world and have set up political action groups such as the American, British, and German Medical Associations to protect their positions. These associations use all means at their disposal to prevent any contrary points of view from being heard. Against healers outside of their fraternity, they are particularly ruthless. There are numerous examples, but three stand out: - First, most people are not aware that the American Medical Association (AMA) was not actually formed to promote health, but to combat homeopathic medicine—or as characterized in the AMA's original charter, 'An enemy who has many strongholds upon the affection of the people; and one who in many places rivals us in their esteem.'
- Second, in 1980, the U.S. Court of Appeals upheld a 1978 Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ruling that found the AMA guilty of "conspiracy to restrain competition" in regard to chiropractic care. The AMA fought this decision for seven years, when in 1987, Judge Susan Getzendanner ruled that the AMA had engaged in 'systematic, long-term wrongdoing and the long-term intent to destroy a licensed profession.' The AMA continued to fight these rulings, and it wasn't until 1990 that they finally lost for good (for now).
- On June 8th, 2004, AMA trustee Dr. Ronald M. Davis testified before Congress that the AMA calls for the 'pre-market approval by the FDA of all dietary supplements.' Dr. Davis also stated, 'The AMA has been concerned for years about the use and abuse of dietary supplements. Congress must provide the FDA with greater regulatory power over dietary supplements to bring needed oversight to the industry and to protect the health of America's consumers.' And this from the people (organized medicine) that, according to its own figures, may be the single leading cause of death in the United States today."
