MEDICAL TYRANNY ©

C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D.

In the last 100 years there have been several significant non-scientific, non-humanitarian, ultimately evil attempts by certain egocentric groups to control life and death according to the beliefs of these groups, often supported by the government!

EUGENICS

"Eugenics was practiced around the world and was promoted by governments, and influential individuals and institutions. Its advocates regarded it as a social philosophy for the improvement of human hereditary traits through the promotion of higher reproduction of certain people and traits, and the reduction of reproduction of certain people and traits.[6] Today some regard it as a brutal movement which inflicted massive human rights violations on millions of people.[7] The "interventions" advocated and practiced by eugenicists involved prominently the identification and classification of individuals and their families, including the poor, mentally ill, blind, 'promiscuous women', homosexuals and entire "racial" groups--such as the Roma and Jews--as "degenerate" or "unfit"; the segregation or institutionalization of such individuals and groups, their sterilization, their "euthanasia", and in the worst case of Nazi Germany, their mass extermination.[8] The practices engaged in by eugenicists involving violations of privacy, attacks on reputation, violations of the right to life, to found a family, to discrimination are all today classified as violations of human rights.

The modern field and term were first formulated by Sir Francis Galton in 1883,[10] drawing on the recent work of his cousin Charles Darwin. From its inception eugenics was supported by prominent people, including Margaret Sanger, Marie Stopes, H. G. Wells, Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt, Emile Zola, George Bernard Shaw, John Maynard Keynes, William Keith Kellogg, Winston Churchill, Linus Pauling[11] and Sidney Webb.[12][13][14] Its most infamous proponent and practitioner was however Adolf Hitler"

TUSKEEGE SYPHILLIS EXPERIMENT

"For forty years between 1932 and 1972, the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) conducted an experiment on 399 black men in the late stages of syphilis. These men, for the most part illiterate sharecroppers from one of the poorest counties in Alabama, were never told what disease they were suffering from or of its seriousness. Informed that they were being treated for "bad blood," their doctors had no intention of curing them of syphilis at all.

"The United States government did something that was wrong-deeply, profoundly, morally wrong. It was an outrage to our commitment to integrity and equality for all our citizens. . . . clearly racist."

-President Clinton's apology for the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment to the eight remaining survivors, May 16, 1997.

LOBOTOMY

"Scheflin and Opton in The Mind Manipulators state that 100,000 people received lobotomies between 1946-1955, with half of the operations occurring in the U.S.

The lobotomy victim's "sacrifice" was substantial. Psychiatrists Franz Alexander and Sheldon Selesnick noted that through psychosurgery:

"an area essential to the human being - his personality - is forever destroyed".

"Psychiatry's only and entire approach has been the application of force to a human being, whether this force be physical (involuntary commitment, straight jackets, restraints, abuse, torture, brain surgery), electrical (ECT, shock treatments), or biochemical (drugs). The aim is always to alter behavior, forcibly, with no appeal to the person themselves - their mind, thoughts, feelings, hopes, dreams, goals, intentions, responsibility or desires are ignored and even largely denied by modern psychiatric theories and methods."

PSYCHIATRY

With the assistance of schools  psychiatrists and physicians are insisting that a remarkably high percentage of young children be placed on drugs that alter their brain and personality, sometimes for life.

STATIN DRUGS

Huge numbers of Americans are bulldozed by arrogant physicians into taking statin drugs, threatened often with tales of doom.  I have seen scores of individuals who have developed severe peripheral neuropathy (their physicians refused to admit that it could be due to statins), muscle pain and weakness and memory loss. There are many safe alternatives to controlling cholesterol problems but the overwhelming percentage of physicians criticize and intimidate patients who do not wish to take statins.

CHEMOTHERAPY

Patients with cancer are urged to have chemotherapy and given stern warnings of death without them.  Despite this, to take just one example, malignant brain tumors, there is no published evidence that chemotherapy prolongs life. Indeed one overview states that for cancer in general the prolongation of life is an average of 4 months! Hodgkin's is one of the few exceptions. Radiation does prolong life in many situations..

The reason for this brief overview of Medical Tyranny is a recent case in Minneapolis, that of Daniel Hauser, which has engendered national attention.  Physicians have determined that THEY are the complete and final judges and ultimately prosecutors, with the power of the local prosecutor and a judge to force treatment on a 13 year old boy who has Hodgkin's lymphoma.  The mother has taken the boy away and is the subject of a nationwide witch hunt to imprison her and force the boy to have chemotherapy, despite the objections of the parents and the boy.  The question is NOT whether the therapy has a high likelihood of success.  Medical literature supports their claim of a 90% likelihood of success although there is also at least as good evidence that it is only about 82%--still better than with any other malignancy.

For each of the following factors, the prognosis is reduced by 7%

·         Age >= 45 years

·         Stage IV disease

·         Hemoglobin < 10.5 g/dl

·         Lymphocyte count < 600/µl or < 8%

·         Male

·         Albumin < 4.0 g/dl

·         White blood count >= 15,000/µl

Of course the boy is male so we can assume that his prognosis is at best 75 to 83%, NOT 90%  as claimed by the Medical Tyrranists.  Further there are serious COMPLICATIONS of chemotherapy

·         Death from the treatment---2-3%

·         Significant other tumors later in life

·         Sterility

·         Significant increase in early cardiovascular disease

What is the true lifelong cure rate?  This is no more known than the cure rate with alternatives.  The THEY who consider themselves GOD in making the demands for chemotherapy even state that the survival rate without chemotherapy is 5%. I suspect that it is far higher when appropriate alternatives are used. And most of them are safe! For instance:

·         Intravenous high dose vitamin C-up to 100 grams daily.  I have seen tumors the size of an orange disappear within 2 weeks

·         Vitamin D 3 in adequate doses prevents about 90% of all cancers.

·         There is good evidence for remission of some cancers with D3  therapy

·         Colloidal silver may be of benefit, even intravenously

·         Insulin potentiated chemotherapy.  Minute dosages of

·         chemotherapy work just as well, when potentiated by lowering blood sugar with insulin.  Far less dangerous!

·         Spiritual healing sometimes leads to miraculous healing.

Far beyond the medical statistics is ultimately legality and moral/ethical issues.  Parents are responsible for the welfare of their children. Under what Constitutional law is it proper to FORCE treatment against the will of the parents and child?  A 12 year old in most religions is considered mature enough to become confirmed.  To me and many ethicists and spiritual authorities, forcing treatment is just another example of Medical Tyranny!  The current Tyrannists do NOT have the 100% certainty they imply as their right to force therapy!
