Rant against the Natural Medicine HOAX

Christians who tout 'natural medicine' clearly don't do their homework.  So you do yours, here:

This site lists cases of people harmed by so-called 'natural medicine', with real facts you can check:  http://whatstheharm.net/herbalremedies.html

So these 'christians' have no Spirit in them, gullible like the populace at large: http://www.businessinsider.com/11-worthless-health-gimmicks-2012-11?nr_email_referer=1&utm_source=Triggermail&utm_medium=email&utm_content=emailshare

God did not command hearsay, but facts.  Like, Bible facts.  Pagans live on hearsay; much of today's 'natural medicine', originates from pagan practices.  They believed, for example, that to get your enemy's courage, you had to eat his heart or drink his blood!  The 'bloodletting' practice famous in the Middle Ages, originates from pagans.  Jews never practiced it, Bible never authorizes such things.

Herbal remedies are based on myths re pagan gods or spirits, often with no basis in medical fact.  They used drugs to get high, to 'communicate' with the gods.  So much of today's 'natural medicine' is just a renewed version of those old myths.  For quite a lot of moolah, too: http://www.nytimes.com/1996/06/17/us/on-fringes-of-health-care-untested-therapies-thrive.html is an old article, but useful.

In pagan times (and maybe to compete with the Mosaic Law), priests were charged with doctoring.  It was never an amateur's job, not even among pagans!

Scientology touts 'natural medicine'; in several cases, their 'patients' died due to resultant medical neglect.  See ToryMagoo44 or xenutv1 here in Youtube, for details.  Or, Google.

Jehovah's Witnesses, SDA, and a variety of apostate Christian sects, go for this nonsense, too.  'Christian Science' harms many.

There is a correlation between anti-semitism and 'natural medicine' proponents who claim the 'medical community' conspires against them.  Even back in medieval times, Christians rejected sound medical practices and bathing -- for THE JEWS practiced those things -- so this wacko attitude in the 20th century has long been a staple of Christendom. Such Christians don't read the Mosaic Law, which made a stink (pun intended) about bathing DAILY, and consulting an expert -- which back then, was a branch of the Levitical Priesthood.  Not, do-it-yourself insanity.

Jewish priests in OT were required to also be doctors, and were trained.  You didn't self-medicate, you didn't self-doctor, you were ordered to GO TO THE PRIEST (i.e., 'leprosy' passages in Leviticus). Heed that well, if you call yourself a Christian.  God uses prepared people, never amateurs.

Do you want to be guilty of giving people advice which can kill them?  You know that makes you a murderer, right?  So if you use hearsay from other idiots who tout 'natural cures', then you Bear False Witness, breaking at very least, the 7th Commandment. God's penalty for that, was the penalty for whatever the false witness claimed.  Well, what do 'natural medicine' advocates -- who make money hand over fist -- claim as the 'crime' of authorized medicine?  That is the punishment YOU get, if you tout this 'natural medicine' garbage.

Medicine in the US and pharmacology both have decades of testing behind them.  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_development on some of the controversy and expense, to get a new potential drug even on the market for sale.  Malpractice insurance premium for a physician runs a good $10,000 per month. So you can bet he's gonna be very careful in what he does.

Can you say the same for 'natural medicine' spouters?  How to collect damages when their quackery proves false?  Either you've spent money which did you no good, or you get sick or die -- and who can you sue?

Your typical licensed physician prefers anything natural, to anything synthetic, if it's safer for his patient.  So every operating room, every doctor, always uses a mix of natural and synthetic.  They prefer prevention, but usually aren't consulted until the damage is done.

For the body is just like Windows, full of glitches caused by any number of factors.  Got a headache?  Well, is it because you're tired, stressed, allergic to something.. or is it brain cancer?  So do you want someone who lives on hearsay of pagan origin to diagnose you, or do you want someone TRAINED in the profession, who went through 20+ years of testing and practice to even call himself a 'doctor'?

In the final analysis, God Alone Preserves Your Life.  So listen to His Prescription, e.g., Psalm 32:5ff, 66:18ff, 1 Cor11:28ff  'for this reason many ..sick.. fall asleep [die].'  What is that prescription?  Use 1 John1:9.  If you are sick, it might be due to the fact you're not using the verse, just as 1Cor11 warns.  THEN go to a doctor, too.  Because God is the God of authority, not quackery.

Nuff said?
