story that affects every American when
you a friend or a loved one goes to the
doctor do you know how good your doctor
is these story seems to come right out
of a medical TV drama doctors operate on
the wrong body part or the wrong patient
gets the wrong medicine but these errors
are becoming a scary reality in America
the medical journal BMJ says medical
error kills more than 250,000
Americans every year medical error is
now third the third leading cause of
deaths in the United States so the
medical errors and hospitals and other
healthcare facilities are incredibly
common and may now be the third leading
cause of death in the United States
welcome
back to the deme show we got a double
treat for you guys Jim Marlowe Sheikh
Mustafa now if you guys don't know if
you haven't already sick and tired of
being sick and tired we had you talking
about your history for those that don't
know dr. Mercola you were his you were
the chief nutrition Nicholas optimal
Wellness Center from 2000 to 2007
helping people and optimal health and
because of he because of the popularity
of his website during that period we
were probably the busiest nutrition
based health center in the country
certainly one of the busiest and had a
lot of experience helping people to
improve their health through nutrition
now you're one of the movers and shakers
in the community people come to you they
say look shake should we do this with
our families should we what's with the
c-section many health issues I'm having
named
some of the things that that people are
their concerns and they come to you for
advice and you gotta give them advice
yeah people want to know I mean people
Muslims ask me all the time in the
community and even general people what's
going on with the birthing industry you
know should we consider alternative
forms of you know home birthing our
c-sections becoming you know just
routine is it something that we need
what do we do with vaccinations the
vaccination schedule seems very long
we're not really encouraged by our
medical practitioners to eat nutrition
this really not to have much focus on on
health to just kind of just go to the
doctor should we take all these pills
should we do medical marijuana we get
all these sorts of questions I think
this is extremely important I want I
mean personally all the all the other
movers and shakers in the community what
are some of them some of them that are
out there that you're very close friends
well you guys have the MJ conference
that comes together yeah and you guys
decide these things is it so many of the
Yasir Qadhi is almost a lemma well what
are some names are out there yeah
there's Imam Suraj she comes a Yusef
Sheikh yes sir call the Imams a check
here they get the same types of
questions ready I'm sure they get they
definitely get the same types of
questions we got the fit Council of
North America we got um we got different
scholars councils and people are going
to them as like a source for kind of
getting getting some more information on
these issues and they want to know what
is Islam say about this right where do
you like what kind of guidance does
Islam give you and what should Muslims
be doing as good Muslims and we know
that we're you guys are specializing
also in protecting humanity and helping
humanity and you know delivering the
message of the purpose of life
protecting people from the spiritual
toxins that are out there but nowadays
Jim can testify there are so many health
toxins 50% of people living today will
have cancer 1/3 will die from it almost
70% of people are obese overweight
skyrocketing
rates of heart disease obesity
diabetes so this is something that
definitely I usually mention that hey
all that wonderful work you're doing
it's going to get shut down if your
health gets shut down and do we have it
wrong here because a lot of times we'll
say okay go see the you know the expert
you know the guy in the white coat see
he knows best but we're seeing some
things that sometimes you know there's a
conflict here some things that that he
had mentioned that people aren't taking
the matter of nutrition seriously from
their regular doctors some are saying
okay you know they don't don't they have
a lack of education in this field what
are your thoughts on Asian nutrition
always matters and some people are more
sensitive to their nutrition than other
people but what you're eating and
drinking every day is going to affect
the structure and functioning of your
body sooner or later and the better you
get your nutrition the more you eat what
Eddie knows I like to keep it simple and
the more people eat high quality real
food and the
more faithful they avoid all the fake
foods that dominate in our junk food
fast food convenience food American
culture the easier they make it for
their bodies to be healthier and my
intention for for my own health for many
years has been to honor my body to honor
the the miracle of my life the the
wondrous amazing
miracle of life
with the best quality food that God
nature have to offer I I was on the
other side of Health for the first 20
years of my life I was chronically ill I
discuss that and the first time I was on
the Dean show and but at the age of 20 I
woke up to wanting
to take responsibility for my own health
and the only way I knew how to begin to
do that was to educate myself and I
began to educate myself about nutrition
and I applied
what I was what I was learning and after
just a week just one week of some
significant
improvements as far as subtracting fake
food and eating more real food I felt
better and I felt significantly better I
was able to think more clearly before
I improved my nutrition I didn't like to
read because I would read something and
I would moment after I read it I forget
what I just read and I'd have to reread
over and over again and I kind of
learned to live in a constant state of
brain fog I didn't see it as brain fog
until the fog started to lift as I
improved my my nutrition and and then
eventually over the years I came to
learn that the brain the brain is the
most nutrient sense of organ of the
human body and to this day when I'm
giving people nutrition and health
building guidance I would say at least
four out of five people I work with will
admit to experiencing brain fog lack of
clarity poor memory even people in their
20s and 30s this is not older people
this is people of all ages four to five
people I work with will admit to having
brain fog to some extent and like
my experience the very first health
benefit I realized from improving
nutrition was the brain fog started to
live and I could think more clearly and
that's what I hear from almost everybody
that I work with to this day who had
some noticeable brain fog and as they
improved their nutrition even though
they may be there their main goal was to
have more
energy and to support healing from some
injury or some other condition they have
or maybe they wanted have a nicer skin
or maybe they just wanted to get rid of
chronic aches and pains have better
digestion and elimination
it's amazing to me and very enjoyable to
hear that almost everybody that I work
with experiences
a lifting of the brain fog to a very
significant extent sometimes
dramatically within a week or two of
following their nutrition plan now how
much you guys discussed this at your at
your annual meetings the community do
you guys sit and do you have a portion
dedicated to good health because we know
you know according to this dean that one
of the blessings we take for granted is
our health you guys talk a lot about
health yeah I mean no we don't actually
I don't know we don't we don't it's not
a topic that comes up very much it comes
up very seldom and you know there is a
principle there's a statement of the
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him where
he said you know Allah daughter well
I'll do it on this principle comes up a
lot which basically means that there is
no causing of harm and there should be
no receiving of harm to try to avert
harm doing harm and from receiving harm
as much as possible so we kind of use
this principle and trying to decide
certain cases and issues that are
presented to us but what we generally
what generally ends up happening is
every time is a medical issue we kind of
look at it from the Islamic interpretive
side on the text and then we say you
know what whatever medical research is
presented to us or we need to go up you
know call up a local Muslim doctor or
something like that and say hey guy went
to medical school whatever he says we're
gonna take that information that we have
and we're gonna build our fatwa we're
gonna build our verdict or you know our
ruling or what Islam says about it based
upon the information that we're getting
and the problem is sometimes I mean I've
started to realize now that sometimes
the information that we're presented
with is just wrong it's it's it's either
very poor shoddy research or it was just
something that was believed by you know
the medical industry for a very long
time and it turned out that it was not
accurate and we built in an Islamic
ruling upon that and that's obviously
very problematic so we generally don't
talk about it a lot we try to just
outsource it just say you know what just
just go ask your local doctor you know
like you were talking about just the guy
in the lab coat you know so yeah the guy
who has all the answers so that's that's
pretty much what what's happening at the
moment right I walked into a
pediatricians office not too long ago
about a year ago I walked in and I
observed around me a waiting room full
of kids and to my left kids eating
potato chips to my right the kids eat
drinking a coke straight ahead the other
kids eating some cookies and other fake
food but you're bringing your kid there
for an ailment for because he's having a
health issue but right in front of you
you're not address addressing the main
issue what
do you think Jim I think that's that's
that's a prime example of one
of the things that's wrong with modern
medicine is that
they don't give any real attention to
nutrition's influence on the body and in
medical school not at all because that's
not part of the business model and this
is one of the things we were talking
about earlier that there's
a fundamental question that that really
needs to be asked to help people have
more understanding about why things are
the way they are and the
question is to ask why are things the
way they are why is modern medicine
practice the way its practice with such
a heavy emphasis on pharmaceutical drugs
and surgical
procedures and and and other practices
that people can't do for themselves and
it's
all about what the doctor does for you
what the doctor does to you but they
really don't give any any attention to
empowering people to help you better
know how to take care of yourself now
there are some exceptions there are what
I call some real doctors some real
doctors who do that some real doctors
who actually do teach patients how to
improve their health by improving their
nutrition and the and other aspects of
self-care but that's not what dominates
unfortunately what dominates our medical
doctors who no matter what your problem
is no matter what's going on here's the
solution it's a prescription or it's a
series of prescription drugs and there's
a place for that but there's no drug
that was ever developed that addresses
the cause of any health problem not even
antibiotics you because some people
might say well antibiotics addressed the
cause of a problem because they directly
kill germs that can cause infection but
wait a second human beings have an
immune system your immune system is
supposed to be the
main the main protection against any
type of infection so when someone gets
an infection consider that their immune
system was too weak to do what it needed
to do the immune system got compromised
somehow and antibiotics
can certainly kill germs and and and
clear up an
infection in the short run but
antibiotics also they have they have
some pretty serious other effects they
can damage your intestinal ecology kill
off friendly bacteria in your in your
intestines and set you up for are all
kind of intestinal
problems everything from from condition
known as candidiasis which is intestinal
yeast and then fungus overgrowth which
causes problems with digestive distress
and in
antibiotics also they they not only they
not only have this adverse effect and
killing the the probiotic friendly
bacteria that everybody needs for
healthy digestive and intestinal health
they also can weaken your own immune
system response you know in my years at
doctor McCullough's clinic we had so
many patients come there who had as
their history in their history recurrent
infections respiratory bladders sinus
infections reap constantly treated with
antibiotics and this would go on for
years with some people you know the
antibiotics we're not addressing the
cause of their problems because it was
only they take the antibiotics and clear
up the infection and then you know a
month later or two months later they get
another infection treated with more
antibiotics consider
that this is not medical science this is
a business model let's
hold off we're gonna take a break very
exciting so much to learn we need the
movers and shakers out there we got one
of them so we can get enlightened we can
get in for make the right decisions the
right choices we write book more here
Today Show and don't forget subscribe
right now
back here on the Dean show with chief
nutritionist Jim Marlow it's going on 40
years it's going on 40 years you've been
star we say this and it's not quite yet
you're open I started I started studying
nutrition the age of 20 in 1977 so next
year will be my fortieth year of
studying nutrition and the other
fundamentals of health and I'm going to
continue to study it for as long as I'm
around because there's no end to
learning is no matter how much you know
or how much you think you know there's
no end to learning and I hope to
continue to learn and grow for as long
as I'm around you God willing we can all
do that grow that's the part there's a
great statement talking about you know
intelligent person one part of learning
is is is relearning sometimes you learn
some things and you have to get that out
of your system and relearn the right
information all of us sometimes we are
susceptible today what do you think
about he was saying we know there's a
great misuse of antibiotics yeah today
you know there is benefit in it but
there's a great misuse every time you go
I know myself I get sick give it an anti
anti but then it's time of the
consequence is over misuse and some of
these other things you say what do you
think yeah I mean initially it's
starting to make sense right I've been
looking into this as well but you know
when I first started to hear this in the
beginning the average person thinks hold
on this something doesn't seem right
about how can be how can the entire
industry that we have so much trust in
you know we have so much faith in we we
know so many doctors and they seem like
good people they seem like intelligent
people they seem like people who know
what they're doing they did good in
school in order to get into the medical
school they paid all this money or you
know got some loans you know to do all
of this their goal was to do to do good
so how can this be like some some giant
conspiracy that's taking place you know
that's that that's the initial initial
reaction that takes place until you
start reading more and you start you
know listening so wait a minute this
this could this this he this person may
be on to something and other people may
be on to something you know so that's I
I want I want to you know just I want to
put the questions out there that a lot
of people are gonna be asking themselves
like you know what you're telling me
that these antibiotics and everything
that people are prescribing this has
been going on for decades now so many
people involved it is some kind of giant
conspiracy you know I think that's an
important to ask we should get like a
response to that are you some kind of
conspiracy theorist now just the truth
seeker and a truth teller as
I was saying before a very important
question to ask is why are things the
way they are and when you you go down
that path and you go down all the way to
find the origins of modern medicine you
find that the the interests that
actually had the biggest influence on
modern medicine and why it's so drug
oriented the interest these are very
powerful very wealthy interest over a
hundred years ago that saw unfortunately
it's it's it's kind of it's it's hard
for for people to believe this if you
have if you have a conscience you have
that you have you have passion
or at the very least respect for truth
and and and not lying and not harming
other people that it's hard for people
to understand that there were very
wealthy very powerful interests at the
beginning of the 20th century who used
their their their wealth their power in
their influence to basically shape a
medical system that would serve their
business interest even more but they saw
disease and illness and even more so the
fear of disease and illness as a
marketplace to be exploited say look
this is all documented oh yes research
yes yes I would suggest that for any
anybody viewing this episode of the Dean
show that you go to youtube
and there give you give people a number
of presentations
to check out a really good starting
point is a as a presentation by G Edward
Griffin who is an investigative
journalists a truth seeker into through
truth teller he wrote a book in the
1970s called world without cancer and
he's written many books over the years
on other subjects too but he's got a
wonderful presentation from 2005 on
YouTube it's called the science and
politics of cancer and he gets into with
in his presentation origins of modern
medicine and the people that had the the
biggest influence on the
way medicine is practiced to this day
most people don't ask this question why
are things the way they're most doctors
don't ask this question I have a sister
who's a medical doctor and she went to
medical school with good intentions but
she doesn't she didn't know who was they
the dominant influence on the medical
school curriculum when she went there
but she went through four years of
medical school without one minute of
nutrition
it wasn't it wasn't part of her
curriculum how could you go through
Medical School without having one class
or even one minute giving attention to
what people put into their bodies every
day you know of course what we put into
our bodies every day is going to affect
the way we feel I mean the average
person would assume that this is a
naturally part of the medical school
curriculum how can your doctor not know
about nutrition it's the assumption that
they know everything about the human
body and they know how to take care of
it that's the propaganda that we get you
know be before you before you change
your diet check with your doctor before
you take a vitamin supplement up with
your doctor before you start an exercise
program check with your doctor as if
they know about this they don't learn
about how about the food well
III think it was so appropriate that a
pyramid was used to convey the
government dietary guidelines because
ultimately what is a pyramid or one one
of the functions of a pyramid it's an
Egyptian tomb right what
an appropriate structure to use for
conveying dietary guidelines from the
government well what what I mean but
people would say okay but these are the
the the the biggest organizations FDA
CDC these World Health Organization's
that the doctors go back to there's a
consensus on the amount of sugar intake
cholesterol and for a long time I don't
know if it's changed now but we were
thrown out the Hilton over the open and
we eat just the way egg whites so they
were onto something were they but is
that changing now or is it still those
recommend well there
is no one specific nutritional practice
that is going to be right for everybody
for many people the best part of the egg
is the yolk for other people they do
better with just the white and I think
for most people they do better just
eating the whole egg just to address
what you brought up Eddie but I think we
need to we need to be persistent in
addressing
the origins of modern medicine who
really shaped the way modern medicine is
to this day and when you when you when
you go down that path you find out that
one of the the most powerful interests
was not a doctor was not a was not a
scientist was not a researcher but the
wealthiest man in the world at that time
the
person who was considered the first
billionaire in the world john d
rockefeller he was the man he and his
people they set about taking over the
medical school curriculum and ultimately
using the method be conventional medical
establishment to serve their business
and Trust we're gonna go ahead and take
a break more
to talk about we're talking about the
history now this is very importantly to
get more into them to come back here to
do don't go anywhere and don't forget
subscribe right now
back here on the Dean show let me get
you in on this we were we were we left
off with some of the history well did
you know a lot about this have you know
I mean I I I kind of had some suspicions
that you know what there's obviously an
economic aspect involved in kind of the
medical industry it's it's a very big
industry you make a lot of money you
know keeping people kind of you know
giving them pills and getting them
surgeries and all that stuff there's a
good aspect to you know helping people
but obviously there's there's there's
economic aspects to it and also you know
there's there's conflict of interest
sometimes because you know the goal of a
medical professional the goal of a
doctor is supposed to be to to help the
patients to get wellness to get healthy
you know to get out of the issues that
they have and to maintain a good healthy
body and you know you're able to
function but there is that conflict
between you know what you're a surgeon
you know I want to upgrade my Mercedes
you know I want I want the latest model
if I don't give this guy surgery I'm
gonna be making you know ten thousand
twenty thousand less just add a little
extra surgery in there you know I can
make an extra twenty K throw ten K
whatever it is a little tiny thing you
know someone's going to birth maybe the
baby would have come on naturally to
just go straight to c-section just so
you know we recommend you just go
straight to c-section and the person's
like well you know the guy in the white
lab coat said that so we should go ahead
and do it you can make some extra money
and that's just part of human nature so
I think that the medical industry or
them even than the medical experts
they're not they're not exempt from
these type of you know human frailties
human weaknesses and that's concerning
that's very concerning so we can say we
shouldn't be naive we shouldn't be nice
we we need to question we absolutely
have to question and that's as something
that were taught as Muslims you were
taught in Islam that you know I should
always be searching for the truth in
everything you know so God created us
with the mind for a reason right and
we're supposed to try and find the truth
wherever that truth lies we'd be willing
and open to listen and to kind of hear
away what's going on kind of especially
when you when you when a mistake has
been made in the past you know the
Prophet peace be upon him he actually
said that a believer is not bitten from
the all twice so once you find out that
you know what if there's a misdiagnosis
or your doctor did something that wasn't
needed to be done or you learn in the
past that you know what some medical
information that was mainstream it was
taught this is absolute fact and then
it's completely overturned ten years
later 20 years later and like I can't
believe they everyone bought into that
idea that that's crazy they they they
thought that this was correct you have
to be a little bit more skeptical so
that you're not bitten from that same
hole twice you got to learn your lesson
yeah that makes sense that's what we're
taught be true seekers URF you were
talking about some more of the history
yeah and and resources for people to
learn for themselves
besides the presentation on the science
and politics of cancer by G Edward
Griffin I also recommend that people
check out a on
YouTube a video presentation from an
investigative journalist by the name of
James Corbett the Corp some people may
be familiar with the Corbett report but
he's got a wonderful wonderfully
researched well researched presentation
on Rockefeller Medicine is what he calls
it it's about a 45-minute presentation
on basically what I brought up a little
while ago about the origins of modern
medicine who was the biggest influence
on the medical school curriculum who's
the biggest influence on the way
medicine is practiced to this day and
and I I don't want to sound I don't want
to I won't don't want people to think
that entirely critical of the whole
medical establishment I think modern
medicine is at their best in urgent care
emergency care immediate care situations
trauma medicine they they can do some
some wondrous things and and and that's
where they're at their best but but
that's a relatively small part of
medical
care in this country the
vast majority of medical care is is
treating people with chronic health
problems chronic health prop
degenerative conditions arthritis and
diabetes and you know cancer in heart
disease and neurological conditions like
multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's
disease conditions
that ultimately manifests because too
many because of too many toxins and not
enough nutrients and it's just only a
matter of time before the body begins to
dysfunction and begins to break down
where we dysfunction and where we we
break down that's that's determined by
our individual strengths and weaknesses
and that's there's certainly a genetic
influence there but you know exposure
to toxins like mercury and arsenic might
cause neurological
degeneration and one person immune
system damage in another person you know
an ultimately cancer or heart disease in
another person so there's a spectrum of
possibilities there for how ultimately
the consequences of exposure to
environmental toxins will affect
someone's health but other resources
besides the G Edward Griffin
presentation and and James Corbett and
Rockefeller Medicine Jon Rappoport who
is one
of my heroes he's a truth seeker and a
truth teller he's a he's an
investigative journalist especially in
regard to medical issues John Rapoport
has his own website called no more fake
news which I I read almost on a daily
basis but he's got his own presentations
if you google Jon Rappoport and
Rockefeller medicine and CDC
fraud FDA fraud he's written about these
issues a lot and also
a doctor by the name of Matthias Rath
he's a german doctor who has some
wonderful presentations he was he was
one of the doctors that ty Bollinger
interviewed extensively in his series on
the truth about cancer and of course I'm
all for people watching the the ty
Bollinger truth about cancer series
especially episode one in which he
addresses exactly what I'm talking about
is why are things the way they are why
is is is is cancer treatment in America
as practiced by the conventional medical
staff why is it's only really oriented
toward the poisons euphemistically
called chemotherapy and I refuse to just
call it chemotherapy without practicing
it with the poisons euphemistically
known as chemotherapy those drugs are
poisons and and radiation chemo
and radiation with no attention to
natural therapies alternative proven
therapies and there's a lot of
information in the marketplace about
that there's a wonderful book by a
researcher
consumer
patient advocates by the name of
advocate by the name of Tonya Hart or
peer she wrote a book a number of years
ago called outsmart your cancer which
covers natural
therapies for helping people to overcome
cancer that the conventional medical
establishment gives no attention to but
getting back to dr. Matthias Rath is
presentation on YouTube if you just
google dr. Matthias Rath eradicating
heart disease is is is that's that's his
specialty and that
that would be a very good starting point
for people to actually take in
information from from people that have
actually learned the history of the
origins of modern medicine and so I
think a lot of people who go to medical
school with very good intentions and
they want to help people I think their
their good intentions are to a very
large extent exploited
and and even betrayed and as far as what
they're learning I mean they're the the
conventional medical establishment is
there's no doubt it's a very it's it's a
huge very expensive infrastructure that
has been built up it's in place and they
need customers no money is generated for
for the the the medical industrial
complex until someone gets sick or
injured and because
they don't they only give lip service to
prevention and promoting health but we
really we don't have any real health
care system in this country you know
what it really is if you think things
through logically what the way things
are set up well we what's called health
care in this country it's really disease
treatment or injury treatment pain
insurance is what is what health care
assurance insurance really is it doesn't
the premiums that people pay on an
ongoing basis it it does very little if
any to any to anything to insure their
health but it's disease and or injury
treatment payment insurance you've been
in a car accident you're you have you've
developed some disease and now it's all
about who's gonna pay the bill how does
that insure your health how is that good
for your health they you know the the
most practical health insurance we could
have is to give faithful attention to
putting the best quality food the best
nourishing ourselves with the best
quality food and and drink that's
available to us and getting the rest of
our self care right because we're giving
faithful attention to other fundamentals
of health our breath the quality of our
breath the quality and quantity of water
we're drinking every day getting a good
night's sleep moving
your body moving activity exercise this
is of course a fundamental level these
are some basic things that key health to
key how 50% of people we talked about
cancer will have cancer 1/3 will die
from it so this is obviously something
at these sessions with other scholars
that I think is something that should be
prioritized yeah well what do you think
from what he's saying yeah I mean it's
these are very important questions that
are being raised I mean we get you know
people want to know okay I got cancer
should I go for chemo I'm kind of scared
I'm kind of scared but you know I'm a
Muslim that what does what does God want
me to do I mean does you want me I got
the money should I go ahead and just do
the chemo because I might be able to
live longer and how does that you know
how does that tie into you know the
decree of God everyone's gonna die at a
certain time anyways or should I go with
something more natural these are
questions that we do need to start
discussing and we we're usually just
getting one side of the story and that
story that side of the story is the
medical professionals in these clinics
so hearing this is is very important I
think for all Muslim scholars to kind of
weigh and say wait a minute maybe we
need to rethink the advice that we
generally given so just well you know
this is beyond this outside of our realm
just go ask your doctor this has plays a
major role as people as human beings and
there's a big difference between truth
and propaganda and my advice to people
is to be very skeptical about any health
information or any information you hear
on disease treatment from the mainstream
media because the mainstream media is
basically owned by by corporate America
and these interests that are part of the
medical industrial complex I think the
mainstream media television and radio
and newspapers they all are used to
convey the propaganda to the public
promoting that you know America has the
has the best medical care system in the
world and that people should should
should go into the medical establishment
for anything to do with health but I
recently shared with Eddie something
that was was never brought out in the
mainstream media but this is from this
is from one of the most prestigious
medical journals in the world July
26th edition in the year 2000 of the
Journal of the American Medical
Association there was a comprehensive
article
written by dr. Barbara starfield who had
all of the most prestigious medical
establishment credentials and the the
title of her article was is US
healthcare the best in the world and
within that article she stated a number
of facts such as every year as of 2000
as a July 26 2000 year in the United
States at
least 225,000
people are actually killed from
medical treatment and over
a hundred thousand people are killed
from taking fda-approved pharmaceutical
drugs as prescribed this is not people
overdosing these are not mistakes this
is people dying from taking fda-approved
drugs as prescribed again the citation
is dr. Barbara starfield
Journal of the American Medical
Association July 26 2000 the mainstream
media never addressed this in fact
Barbara starfield was interviewed by Jon
Rappoport a number of years after she
published this article and he asked her
were you ever contacted by every any
government agency that's in charge of
you know protecting the public health
the FDA the CDC about
your information and the fact that
almost a quarter million people as of
2000 are it's acknowledged it's not this
is not controversial almost a quarter
million people are actually being killed
by medical care in this country and she
said no no one
had any interest in looking into this
and what can we do to improve improve
medical care so there's there's less
people being killed by fda-approved
drugs so when when you learn about this
and the truth is there the information
is there but if it's not supportive of
the the medical industry propaganda you
don't hear about it at all or you only
hear about it you know one time and then
there's no follow-up investigation at
all but the truth is there and
ultimately we have to be very careful
who we trust what we buy into and is the
is the medical industry is are
they trustworthy is is the FDA
trustworthy is the is the CDC s--
trustworthy or was ralph nader who ran
for president a number of years ago was
was was was he on to something when he
said the real issue about what's going
on in this country is that corporate
america has taken over the government
they've taken over government agencies
and the government agencies which were
originally created to serve public
interests are serving corporate
interests serving very powerful
entrenched business interests we're
almost out of time your last this
is very alarming you know hearing more
and more of this the more I hear it's I
mean Muslims are concerned about people
dying they're concerned about you know
the children in Palestine who are being
the oppression in that area in Syria in
Burma in all different parts but this is
this is just another thing now to add to
the list I mean if people are dying
because of federally approved drugs that
they're taking or medical treatment that
that they're going many people still
have this perception that you know
America is the best place in the world
for healthcare and therefore hey it's
it's better than India or it's better
than you know Nigeria or something like
that so this is the place where you'd
want to be but if we're harming people
and if there's some type of harm going
on or people are even being killed we
have a responsibility as Muslims and we
have a responsibility as Muslim leaders
as well to kind of look into this in
whatever capacity we can and start
asking the questions becoming at least a
little bit more skeptical kind of open
our minds and say you know what someone
does need to investigate this more we do
need more education on this and you know
we need to rethink this entire thing you
mentioned c-section before I have
recommendation for for people who would
like to be more educated about what goes
on in regard to hospital
births there was a wonderful documentary
that was done a number of years ago
called the business of being born you've
seen that yes I strongly recommend that
to to all parents who are about to have
a child but one of the basic lessons of
watching this this very well-done
documentary is that the more medical
treatment people accept the more then
they need it's
like the way the way the medical
industry is it's
like there's they're very good at
perpetuating more business for them so
much many people have been affected by
this this is a great example of the
c-section you have you know more kids
but now because you've had one or two
now yeah once it once you get one
c-section then you get what's called
VBAC you know a vaginal birth after
c-section and it's very difficult to be
able to have a normal natural birth
after it happens once there's a lot of
you know Muslim sisters in the community
that are saying you know whoa what
should we wear do you draw the line
where do you make the decision between
okay I'm afraid for my child I don't
want my potential child you know it's
kind of becoming out and I want it to be
harmed at the same time it might be more
harmed by going into this procedure so
it's a skyrocket it's like over 50 60
percent so you say so this is another
greatest now we're out of time we only
touched the surface but that's another
great example maybe profits over people
yeah any closing comments for
the audience yeah be confused I think
what do I abandon medical care what I
mean do i it's some people for hearing
this for the first time what advice do
you give yeah I think what I heard from
from Jim made sense is that you know
what it's not about abandoning medical
care it's kind of understanding where it
functions very well and where there's
there are some gray areas and there's
some question marks and we need to kind
of you know reanalyze what our
understanding of medical care is like
you said emergency care and those type
of things generally I mean if someone
breaks the arm or something like that
you would still advise them yeah yeah go
to the doctor don't don't you know start
eating some more nutrition or you know
don't stay at home and say it's just
gonna heal itself you know just just
it's okay so there are aspects where
it's pretty clear-cut right there are
you know some good research out there
there's this good care but then there
are other aspects where there's gray
areas history has told us that we've
made several mistakes and several
u-turns and all of that so my advice to
everyone is just to kind of you know
before dismissing everything as a
conspiracy theory there may be a few
people who are very extreme out there
but you know people who are kind of
knowledgeable they have an understanding
they have research people from within
the system within the medical community
when they're asking the questions we
should be willing to listen we should do
a little bit more research you know
people like you said we shouldn't always
trust the mainstream media we don't you
know more people have woken up they're
not always trusting the mainstream media
for political issues they realize the
corruption in that field the like we're
gonna find alternative avenues right so
so this could very well be something
similar where we need to find alternate
alternate knowledge sources where we can
actually kind of get the real story of
things Jim would you be willing if they
had one of their meetings with some of
the movers and shakers and they wanted
to learn more on this topic would you
come and sit with some of course it's in
this field of course
I'm enthusiastic and glad to share what
I have to offer with anybody who's
interested and in in nutrition and
health truth and and empowering
themselves and other people to know how
to better take care of themselves you
know doctors do have they have have
their the role and they have their place
my my my advice would be for people to
seek out natural medicine doctors
doctors it could be an MD or might be a
do or a nature path but seek out doctors
who actually focus more on promoting
health than treating the symptoms of
disease or illness but there's a lot of
a lot
of natural medicine doctors around not
nearly as many as the the doctors who
are little more than legalized drug
pushers especially in regard to chronic
health problems but
there are there are some real doctors
around and ultimately the most important
doctor to honor to respect into support
is the doctor within yourself the innate
intelligence that we all have our body
knows how to be healthy it wants to be
healthy it's always trying to be healthy
if we cut ourselves it heals but it
doesn't heal magically we need to be be
getting our nutrition and our self-care
at least right enough to support the the
healing potential that we all have
inside of us but we all do have an inner
doctor and that's the doctor that I
think we should honor
and respect and support most of all
there are you system is powerful is it
from God that he's given us not just the
immune system but but the entire body
the energy the whole body is one it's
that it's it's a we function as a whole
organism and the immune system is just
one part of our biology and when
when you're when you're on a health
building nutrition plan you know
nutrition good nutrition feeds every
cell of your body you know when you take
a drug a drug may have one effect on one
aspect of your biology to suppress a
particular symptom
you know improves a blood test or makes
maybe reduces a symptom a little bit in
the in the short run but it's not good
for your whole body but you know when
you when you eat a truly nourishing meal
it's it you're feeding your brain cells
you're nourishing your your your heart
your liver your kidneys your lungs your
immune system your endocrine system all
of you is getting nourished and you
know as I mentioned in previously that
our approach at the optimal wellness
center dr. Mercola is clinic in the
glory days of the optimal Wellness
Center was the
the the approach that we had was really
to teach people how to build their
health through nutrition and the best
way to overcome what you could call the
darkness of disease is to turn on the
light of health beautiful build health
