The material for it, the original study called "Death by Medicine," sat on the corner of my desk for months. The material was so shocking, even for a skeptic of the medical system like me, that I simply needed to digest it. I needed to think about what it all meant - for the study makes it crystal clear that organized medicine is the number one killer of Americans. "Facts" are undeniable. They speak louder than simple words. The old adage "actions speak louder than words," is never more true, than in this indictment of the American Health Care System. In legal jargon, what has happened with this report, is that the elusive, movable, medical definition of "Standard of Care," has been set in concrete - with facts. Simply, it is the "Standard of Care" in the United States to allow 115,000 American citizens to die, within the system, of "bedsores" every year. It is the "Standard of Care" in the United States to allow 108,800 American citizens to die, within the system, of "malnutrition" every year. It is the "Standard of Care" in the United States to allow 199,000 American citizens to die, within the system, of "outpatient adverse reaction to drugs" every year. It is the "Standard of Care" in the United States to allow 88,000 American citizens to die, within the system, of "infection" every year. And so on... How can I define the information in this comprehensive report (Death by Medicine) as the definition of "Standard of Care?" For four reasons: (1) These people all died within the system. These weren't people without access to medical care. These people had access to the American Medical System - and THAT is what killed them. (2) The problems described in the report range over many, many years. (3) The organized medical establishment has been aware of these issues for as many years. (4) Organized medicine has chosen to do NOTHING about the problems - therefore, they have accepted these problems as normal, and acceptable. Hence, the facts represented in "Death by Medicine" are, in fact, organized medicine's recognized "Standard of Care." What does THIS definition of "Standard of Care" mean to "alternative" practitioners? Everything... Who, in their right mind would tell their patients that "I operate my practice according to acceptable 'Standard of Care' guidelines? I let 115,000 of my patients die of 'bedsores' every year..." "Alternative" practitioners, meaning those offering "alternatives" to the deadly American Medical System, should, from this moment on declare loudly "I practice OUTSIDE of the accepted "Standard of Care.' None of my patients have adverse drug reactions, none of them die of malnutrition, none of them die from infections gotten from a hospital, none of my patients get unnecessary surgery or unnecessary procedures, and my patients have no idea what bedsores look like - they're all out playing golf." ---------------------------------- Forwarded by: Dr. Saul Pressman
