Dr. Carolyn Dean, MD ND, is a well known book author and advocate for drug free medicine. Recently, she published the book “Death By Modern Medicine”, which has gained a wide readership due to its topical content. In this interview with Crusador’s Editor, Greg Ciola, the renown doctor shed light on a host of issues bordering alternative and orthodox medicines, especially how orthodox medicine is killing people
This is the concluding part of the interview published in our last edition (also published in this blog)

Chapter 3 of your book is titled “Death By Health Care Bureaucracy.” Tell us a little bit about what you get into here.

When I’ve been lobbying in Ottawa and Washington with my health freedom groups -- Friends of Freedom in Canada and Friends of Freedom International in America, we have seen our elected officials and many of them want to do what’s best. However, we’re facing a tough challenge given that we have to compete against very aggressive drug lobbyists. There are 10 lobbyists for every elected official.Unless the American people stand up for what’s right and express themselves to their elected officials in their home states and in Washington, we’re not going to get anything that we want. Without appropriate action, the hired lobbyists and drug companies will get what they want.

Do you talk about insurance companies when you talk about health care bureaucracy?

I really don’t write much about the insurance industry. Insurance companies stay in business by not paying out claims. We need an innovative, alternative insurance agency that will compensate for wellness rather than sickness.

People are forced into this modern medical system because the insurance companies don’t cover alternative medicine. The whole system is corrupt and needs to change. I don’t know when that’s going to ever happen, but it needs to happen.

That’s right. Another thing about health care bureaucracy deals with a situation in Canada that occurred in January 2004 where Health Canada legislated our dietary supplements into a drug category. It wasn’t a law; it was just a regulation by the bureaucracy. That has created a lot of economic hardship with companies trying to comply. It’s run a number of companies into bankruptcy and out of business.

So you can have health care bureaucracy that claims to be doing their job, but in fact, they’re probably doing the bidding of international trade organizations and pharmaceutical lobbyists who are determined worldwide to put dietary supplements into a drug category.

I get very angry every time I hear the media report that dietary supplements are unregulated, unsafe, and that they’re hurting people. You actually have a chapter in your new book, “Death by Media.” We’re being totally manipulated and misled by the media which is really just a mouthpiece for the pharmaceutical industry and for the medical establishment.

Yes! I learned a lot about the media through Marshall McLuhan (a Canadian media scientist). Chapter 5, “Death by Propaganda”, explains how we’ve been totally propagandized by the media. It is incredible how the medical research industry began. Initially, they intentionally made people afraid of disease in order to raise funding for the research. I talk about Sigmund Freud’s nephew, Edward L. Bernays. He wrote a book called “Crystallizing Public Opinion.” He said, “The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society...
