1... THE MEDICAL MENTALITY holds that a person can appear "perfectly healthy" one day and then be mysteriously, inexplicably stricken with a dreaded disease overnight.

2... THE MEDICAL MENTALITY supports a belief in "The Germ Theory" as originally proposed by Louis Pasteur: disease is caused by microorganisms or viruses foreign to the body, which they invade and use as a host.

3... THE MEDICAL MENTALITY holds that there are over 10,000 known and categorized and named diseases, each disease with its own cause or causes, known or unknown. Years of scientists' time and billions of dollars are spent annually, searching for the external causes of various diseases and their antidotes.

4... THE MEDICAL MENTALITY looks at the "disease process" as something which "happens to the body" and, therefore, as something which can and must be stopped: the symptoms must be palliated or suppressed; the body must, in some way, be "treated" with some sort of doctor-prescribed drug, treatment, or therapy to make the patient get well.

5... THE MEDICAL MENTALITY teaches you that illness is to be expected as the years advance as it is a normal part of the aging process. Doctors typically and cold-heartedly state: "You will just have to learn to live with it!" ("it" meaning "the pain and degeneration")... if standard medical treatment cannot help you.

6... THE MEDICAL MENTALITY is not interested in promoting dietary nutrition as an integral part of getting well or staying well, although it may make minor concessions such as recommending a reduction in dietary salt or the adoption of a weight loss program. The prevailing, pessimistic attitude, however, is that even if there were something to this "dietary nutrition," people would not change their eating habits, anyway. At its worst, The Medical Mentality does not have faith in the human being to change; a sense of hopelessness prevails.

7... THE MEDICAL MENTALITY looks at the practice of fasting to be synonymous with starvation; and it is, therefore, viewed as a form of dangerous extremism.

8... THE MEDICAL MENTALITY refuses to acknowledge the evidence that any alternative health care systems have any validity, whatsoever. It does this in the face of vast amounts of evidence and carefully kept records. Any improvement on the part of individuals under these alternative health care systems is attributed to chance or "spontaneous remission" or other causes; or the improvement is branded as "dangerous in the long run," regardless of how much the person has improved.

9... THE MEDICAL MENTALITY encourages both a belief in and a dependence on the medical/pharmaceutical complex as the final authority on all health questions and the only real source of knowledge and power that leads to individual health. Conformity to Establishment Thinking and The Medical Mentality are systematically and relentlessly conditioned and brainwashed into the minds of The American People through both subtle cues and open intimidation by those in power.

10... Under THE MEDICAL MENTALITY, you do subject yourself and your loved ones to continued medical treatment, disregarding reality: you will only get worse as the treatment continues. Furthermore, you will have no desire to search for a workable, alternative health care system and no desire to learn how to take personal responsibility for your own health.
