What Really Makes You Ill?: Why Everything You Thought You Knew About Disease Is Wrong

Dr Scobey’s previously cited statement, in which he states that, “During an epidemic of poliomyelitis in Australia in 1897, Altman pointed out that phosphorus had been widely used by farmers for fertilizing that year. This observation may be of significance since in recent years organic phosphorus insecticides, such as parathion, have been suspecte

The third reason that Salvarsan is significant is because this ‘medicine’ is regarded as heralding the beginning of the era of ‘chemotherapeutic’ drugs. The use of arsenic as ‘medicine’ must be regarded as yet another of the tragic errors of ‘medical science’.

Another theory, and the one for which Paracelsus is probably best known, is encapsulated by the phrase ‘the poison is in the dose’; it is this theory that forms the basis of the idea that toxic substances are suitable for use as ‘medicines’, with the proviso that they are administered in the ‘right dose’.

Although claimed to treat and prevent disease, these measures, which are usually comprised of pharmaceutical products, do not remove their causes, they therefore cannot solve the problem; but more worryingly, these products invariably exacerbate the problem.

For example, in chapter one reference was made to the experience of Dr John Tilden MD who changed his practice from a drug-based one to a drugless one. One of the discoveries that has resulted from these investigations is that the body does possess the ability to self-heal, which it performs through mechanisms that expel and eliminate substances th

Uranium was discovered in 1789 and first mined in the US in 1871, although its radioactivity was not discovered until 1896 from the work of Henri Becquerel, after whom one of the units for measuring radioactivity was named.

Dr Charles Creighton MD, another qualified English physician, was so highly regarded by the medical establishment that in 1884 he was asked to write the vaccination entry for the ninth edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. At the time he was fully supportive of vaccination; but, before writing the required text, he decided to investigate the sub

Vaccinated people who fail to produce the appropriate antibodies are called ‘non-responders’.

The human body is composed of organic matter; it is for this reason that exposure to chlorine gas is so hazardous for humans. The discussion about ‘1918 Flu’ in chapter four referred to the health damage caused by the deployment of chlorine gas as a chemical weapon on the battlefields during WWI. Joe Thornton aptly refers to chlorine in its element
