Alternative Medicine

by Perry A. Chapdelaine, Sr., Executive Director/Secretary

For several generations alternative medicine has

been considered a quackery and a hoax by those who

belong to the established order of medicine. But who are

those in the "established order of medicine"? And who

are those that practice "alternative medicine"?

It's not so easy to tell the two apart: they have the

same medical degrees from the same prestigious univer-

sities; they're licensed by the same medical boards of the

various states; their names and addresses are joined

together in the same telephone yellow pages . . . .

So how do we tell the two apart, the "established

order of medicine", and those who practice alternative

therapies?

The "established order of medicine" will almost

always provide you with a toxic drug that will suppress

your symptoms, but will not halt the cause of the disease.

Examples: aspirin for your headache; extremely toxic substances

for your arthritis; daily insulin shots for your diabetes; destroy the

cancerous tumor, but not the cause of the tumor.

Alternative practitioners will almost always explore with you

the causes of your symptoms. Examples: allergies that produce

headaches, arthritis or diabetes; colon toxification

that can produce headaches, arthritis or diabetes;

root canal infections that can produce headaches,

arthritis or diabetes, and so on.

The "established order of medicine" will almost

always enunciate the error that your diet is unim-

portant for your health, "Just eat somewhat of the

four (or six) food groups, and you'll be healthy."

Any successful farmer knows better than that.

Without proper nutrients, cows, pigs, and chickens

will not produce income. Alternative practitioners

also know better, and they will almost always

invite you to learn of the deficiencies in our food

sources, and how to supplement those deficiencies

with vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, en-

zymes and so on.

Establishment practitioners will define "preventive medicine"

as coming in early and often for a breast examination. Alternative

practitioners will define "preventive medicine" as doing the things

necessary to reduce the need for having breast examinations.

Besides comparing treatment regimens, the "established order

In normal treatment programs, once hypothyroidism is deter-

mined the patient is thereafter required to take a daily thyroid tablet

for the remainder of their life. The purpose of thyroid is to establish

a cellular temperature which is ideal to make enzymes function

properly. There are literally thousands of enzymes required to

operate the human body. They, and the proper cellular tempera-

ture, are the key to health, indeed, life itself.

Described in this issue is the new method developed by E.

Denis Wilson, M.D. which holds promise of permanently revers-

ing hypothyroidism for many. In other words, it may not be

necessary to take the pill each day for the rest of your life.

However, E. Denis Wilson, M.D. says, "The T

Thyroid: Master Gland & Regulator (Part II)

In the last issue of this newsletter we covered principally the

Broda Barnes, M.D. technique for evaluating hypothyroidism, a

condition of too little thyroid, or inability to utilize thyroid effi-

ciently. Hypothyroidism is a disease that affects a large proportion

of modern civilization, and can be the cause, or contributing cause,

of a large number of diseases including that of various forms of

arthritis.
