I am not a human medical doctor so most of what you have written has nothing to do with me. I have never claimed that modern medicine is the be all end all or that every doctor is good. I am horrified by oncology and pretty much all handling of chronic diseases particularly chronic pain. I agree that a great many diseases and conditions would be better treated through diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes. However a good many people are unwilling to make such changes, I think it’s nice that people with Type 2 diabetes too lazy to eat healthy and exercise can live longer by taking insulin. I wish more would choose better diet and exercise but those people are entitled to make their own decisions.
However a ten day water fast isn’t going to cure rabies or tetanus. It certainly wasn’t going to cure my multi-system organ failure brought on by pregnancy complications. The simple fact of the matter is at any other time in history or in any place in the world without modern medical care my son and I both would have died.
Yes God can heal whoever He chooses but the Bible also tells us not to tempt the Lord our God. I do not think it’s coincidence that Luke was a physician as was St Valentine. Generally people of faith don’t do foolish things like close their eyes and walk across a busy interstate in an attempt to prove God’s sovereignty, completely avoiding modern medicine is no different, something you seem to agree with since you admit that you would seek help in an emergency.
You seem determined to make a bunch of generalizations and jump to conclusions, thinking that you want to avoid watching your child die an excruciating death via tetanus is quite different than thinking there aren’t any problems whatsoever with modern medicine.
What concerns me is that happens far too often with people being labeled as either anti-vax or followers of the vaccine cult. There definitely should be more discussion about the role of diet, exercise and lifestyle in disease especially chronic disease. There’s certainly important discussions to be had surrounding vaccines, their appropriate and inappropriate uses. However the Puritans lived faith filled lives free of modern medicine and processed foods where exercise was a necessity for survival let alone fitness and they still died of things like smallpox and measles and tetanus. If clean living and faith in God protected you from disease the history of the Puritans, Society of Friends, and many other Christian sects throughout history would be very different.
Most Doctors are hypocrites. They will say one thing but do another. Why? Because their hands are tied. They CANNOT practice medicine. The must do what our government and their administrators tell them. They must do what they been trained to do…prescribe drugs/vaccines and/or surgery for any sickness/disease. To do otherwise is to lose their license and their livelihood. Also, most are bought by and in bed with Big Pharma. A lot of Doctors get kick backs for pushing certain drugs/vaccines, especially new ones.
I have lost ALL trust in the Medical Profession when it comes to treating disease. Doctors know NOTHING about health. As a 13 year cancer survivor I KNOW!!! Doctors only know what they been trained to do which is to recognize the symptom/disease, treat it with surgery and/or drugs/vaccines and that's it!
You walk into any doctors office for any type of disease whether it be hypertension, type II diabetes, Parkinson's, etc, you WILL become a lifetime money maker for that doctor. He/she will put you on drugs for the rest of your life NEVER getting to the root cause of your disease and ALL drugs have side effects which compounds your problem and leads to more drugs.
As you can tell I have lost ALL faith in the medical system when it comes to treating disease. I believe doctors have their place which is in emergencies, trauma, injuries and some Pediatrics. But, when it comes to treating disease modern medicine is a complete FAILURE.
I want to live and to stay alive.........and to do so I WILL AVOID DOCTORS!!!!!!!!!!!
