Mark Twain on Doctors
The physician's is the highest & worthiest of all occupations - or
would be, if human nature did not make superstitions & priests
necessary.

A half-educated physician is not valuable. He thinks he can cure
everything.

I am convinced that of all quackeries, the physician's is the
grotesquest & the silliest. And they know they are shams & humbugs.
They have taken the place of those augurs who couldn't look each other
in the face without laughing.

It seems a stupid idea to keep a student 4 years in a medical college
to merely learn how to guess - and guess wrong. If ever I am deadly
ill I hope you will stand by me and bar out the doctors and let me die
a natural death.

Doctors do know so little and they do charge so much for it.

I wish Mark Twain were here to hear my theory about anti-depressants and all
stimulants being  a sentence to death for innocent people by the mind
connection by causing crohns  and ulcerative colitis, literally.  The person
using the anti-depressant does very well, but he/she is often transferring
harm and destruction to an innocent person by the stimulant with the death
dealing drug  he/she ingests despite distance.    In only the future,
everyone will be affected in one way or another by an illness that covers
many unheard of before.   Visited the nursing home today to see a friend and
that always sets me back in the despair  I am never free of.   The doctor
doesn't know his arm from his leg.  Thinks everything is natural progression
of the patients illness when it is clear they are foreign consequences of
the environment of anti-depressants.    How long and how many lives will be
destroyed before they can  recognize what is an organic illness rather than
one caused by the ADs.   All they have to do to have a serene home is BAN
THE ANTI-DEPRESSANTS so every one can feel natural and talk to others
without fear.   But no, anti-depressants are the mark of the devil
prescribed by the devil itself, the psychiatrist.    And that is final
because the psychiatrist knows best.    Baloney.     She/he does not
recognize or care the damage her prescribing is doing.    Mark Twain is
perfectly right.    Never has there been a situation like this where doctors
are actually prescribing death to innocent people.    Are there any nursing
homes that do not prescribe anti-depressants.   If anyone knows of any in
Chicago, North Side, I would be willing to compensate them.   And the FDA is
responsible.   First they make the person ill by approving anti-depressants,
then they will not allow the affected person the med that would help them
reduce the stress and  cope somewhat.   Valium and Ativan.   This is a real
problem, happening everyday to thousands not an isolated situation.
Killing more people than any other illness by compounding the numbers.
Marvin Bush, Pres Bush's brother had his colon removed years ago.    Mind
altering drugs are not meant to be used.    Talking can sway a person to the
right path without harming anyone, by the psychiatrists take the easy way
out.

Mark Twain died in 1910.  Doctors of that era didn't know a heck of a
lot.  They still don't, but they know a lot more now than they did
then.

Given my experience with GERD and it treatment, they still have a
long way to go. The "quack" life extension Doc had me fixed up
and good to go in one appointment with the suggestion to use
betaine HCL in addition to the other conservative approaches I used
instead
of the PPI meds or PPI meds and motility med, fundoplications
the conventional Doc use to treat GERD and dyspepsia.

Or look how the conventional Doctors like to chemically castrate other
males with prostate cancer and yet the research indicates benefits
from such an action is hardly sure or clear.

And Yes they have advanced in 100 years but advancement seems
both slow and halting in some ways.
