How George Washington died — horribly

...."Last year, my reader sunnydaysall, from BrainHavenNet, posted Dr Christopher’s Herbal Legacy Newsletter from July 7, 2017, ‘The Untimely Death of America’.

It is well worth reading, especially for those interested in natural remedies.

One would have thought that George Washington would have had the finest medical care available. It seems he did in principle, but, judging from his final days, not in practice.

A summary and excerpts follow, emphases mine."...

President Garfield would have probably survived his gun shot if it hadn't been for 20 'doctors' sticking their fingers in the hole, and pontificating...

So might've Lincoln...

IIRC Dr. McCoy in one of the Star Trek movies time travelling back to our time called our medical care barbaric. :)

Evidence based medicine has advanced just as the use of electricity has advanced. What is your take on these primitive elements of electronics we use today?

[Neoliberalnot]

In 250 years, they’ll be saying the same thing about now. “”

Doubtful. That’s like comparing the advance of the flow of electrons from Ben Franklin’s discovery of electricity to the device and network used to send your message to FR. They did not have evidence-based medicine in Washington’s day. They bled him to death.

Chemotherapy is a kind of selective lethal intoxication to cancer cells, but healthy cells suffer too. Targetied chemo is far better. Medicine is unlikely to ever allow people to live forever. All living things will die, even this planet earth will die.

[Neoliberalnot]

are blessed to live in the modern era, where doctors are just the third leading cause of death.””

That’s a Blatant lie from every leftists lawyer in the country.

[Neoliberalnot]

Foolish and ignorant comments are amazing. Some just tell a blatant lie. The libturd lawyers that attempted to hijack the medical profession under obunga’s watchful eye have failed. It’s as if medicine has advanced no more than the use of electricity in Ben Franklin’s day. Is it just ignorance?

[Neoliberalnot]

Good comment based on the evidence.

[Neoliberalnot]

Good comment. Ignorance is rampant and some here consider it a virtue. Ask them how the use of electricity has changed since 1799.

[Neoliberalnot]

Are you familiar with the cachexia of cancer. Do you have any notion of the weight loss that occurs in cancer patients? The high metabolic rate of many cancers sucks up most of the nutrients while starving the healthy cells.

[Neoliberalnot]

After all he owned a lot of slaves and prolly said nigra from time to time I’d wager””

Yes, and GW treated his slaves well just as he did all his property. We can never mention the fact that Africans lived far longer lives here in prosperity compared to living in the primitive conditions in Africa. Their life expectancy was doubled.

"They did not have evidence-based medicine in Washington’s day."

Nor did they have a World Health Organization publishing fact sheets on the health effects of global warming. Is that the kind of sophisticatd evidence-based medicine you're speaking of? I stand by my contention that in 250 years they will look back at us as primatives.

[Neoliberalnot]

Honey is pure sugar and if there is one thing you should avoid eating, it is sugar. There is an epidemic of obesity and type 2 diabetes in this country.

[Neoliberalnot]

I don’t believe in manmade global warming, but warnings about drought and hot weather may be warranted. My parents lived through the 1930s.

Anyone can stand behind speculation, but it is still speculation. We also know that climate is a variable. I understand as you do, that the climate hoax is about people control.

Medical Electricity, 1802
Medical Conditions (cured with electricity)

And then there was the question of how you used the electricity that you'd gathered with your lightning rod and saved. My favorite part is where they warn you not to zap the electricity into someone's eye but pass it NEAR the eye and use your hand to gently waft it TOWARD the eye.

Couldn't resist scanning the book in. It's a fun read as long as you don't try it at home.

The book was owned by Gilbert Livingston, the brother of Henry Livingston, of Night Before Christmas. In a book on the "What Ifs" of history, the question is put, "'[What] If Gilbert Livingston Had Not Voted New York Into the Union.' The answer Chamberlin gives is that Rhode Island and North Carolina would have not ratified the constitution, and the country would never have been joined into a truly United States."

“That’s a Blatant lie from every leftists lawyer in the country.

No, it was the published research from The Journal of the American Medical Association.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Here’s a second medical study.

“According to a new study8 published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), medical errors now kill an estimated 250,000 Americans each year, an increase of about 25,000 people annually from Starfield’s estimates.

“That means medical errors are STILL the third leading cause of death, right after heart disease and cancer. These numbers may actually be vastly underestimated, as deaths occurring at home or in nursing homes are not included.

“As shown by Starfield’s research, side effects from drugs, taken as prescribed, account for the vast majority of iatrogenic deaths. Research9 published in 2013 estimated that preventable hospital errors kill 210,000 Americans each year — a figure that is very close to the latest statistics.

Between the two studies I referenced, both medical associations, you now have a starting point to do your own research.

Best.

[Neoliberalnot]

What a preposterous claim. Show me the citation and cut the lying.

[Neoliberalnot]

You are full of it.

From CDC:

Number of deaths for leading causes of death:
Heart disease: 633,842
Cancer: 595,930
Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 155,041
Accidents (unintentional injuries): 146,571
Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 140,323
Alzheimer’s disease: 110,561
Diabetes: 79,535
Influenza and Pneumonia: 57,062
Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and nephrosis: 49,959
Intentional self-harm (suicide): 44,193
