The American Medical Associations own esteemed research journal, the Journal of the AMA or JAMA has revealed a frightening statistic: In the United States alone, the third leading cause of death by any means is medically caused death.

What this means is that heart disease is our number one killer, cancer is our number two killer, and the conscientious following of medical protocols is the number three killer of people in our culture; a frightening fact for those of us who blindly accept a doctors advice as bible truth.

Here is how these deaths played out statistically, according to Dr. Barbara Starfield of the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health:

- 12,000 patients died due to unnecessary surgery

- 7,000 patients died due to medication errors in hospitals

- 20,000 patients died due to other errors in hospitals

- 80,000 patients died due to infections in hospitals

- 106,000 patients died due to non-error, negative effects of drugs

These total to 225,000 deaths per year from iatrogenic causes!

Iatrogenic is a word that means death caused by the care of a physician. Take a long look at the 106,000 people who died from non-error: these are people who died taking the right pill at the right time, exactly as their doctor had told them to. Take a moment to consider that before you swallow your next prescription.

Now, take a moment to think about this, because it is important you understand the thrust of this concept: blindly following your doctors orders can be the most deadly decision you ever make about your health.

Your health comes from inside of you. Your body is natures ultimate machine. Why on earth would you ever be backed into such a corner that you would rely on medications or on surgery for your health? How were we ever convinced that opening our bodies with knives or poisoning our bodies with deadly chemicals would ever resolve our health issues?

So, if medicine is the third leading cause of death, what can we do to avoid falling into its traps? How do we know if the pill we are taking today, the same pill we have taken for years, will or will not be the pill that causes a violent, deadly reaction inside of us? Unfortunately, the answer is: we dont know.

All we know for absolute certain is that every medication is a toxic chemical. Every surgery is an invasion of toxic chemicals and a violation of our internal order.

Your best bet is to learn more about your body and your health: to think beyond what the medical world is feeding you. In order to escape the pitfalls of the medical system, you have to know more about yourself and about the natural doctors of healthcare.You were not designed to be reliant on a pill or needing a surgery. You body is literally natures ultimate machine, dwarfing all of the powers of a hospital.

In every heartbeat you create and distribute the right drug at the right time for the right condition, sending it to the right spot in your own body with no side effects and with no need for outside intervention. Your body, when running at its peak, requires no outside interference. All your body needs is for you to make sure it is running at its peak. Drugs and surgeries only cause complications and get in the way of your internal natural ability to heal.

Consult with a chiropractor, a doctor who will help you remove internal interferences and imbalances. Learn to balance and strengthen your own body. Leave drugs and surgeries as your absolute last resort when making any health care decision.

Finally, and I will repeat this because it is so vitally important: get to know exactly how your body actually functions. Discover the power of a balanced, toned, and flexible body. The advantages you will gain when you focus on yourself and seriously take advantage of the incredible body you were born with will go way beyond simple health. Your personal power and your mental focus demand that you maintain your body in the shape it was designed to run in.

Your health and your life depend on how well you know your body, how to restore it to its full balance and flexibility, and how to harness the incredible powers you were born with.
