Allan Hegland, Penn, N.D., letter: N.D. should permit alternative medicine
Many of us have learned that the so-called “forbidden” cures work better than conventional treatment and want to keep using them. But certain groups now have power over the state Department of Health and are trying to shut down all forms of treatment except those offered by an MD with a stethoscope and a nurse.By: Allan Hegland,
PENN, N.D. — I assume that Herald readers have noticed how much more costly it is to get a broken bone splinted or even a minor cold treated. The increased costs are forcing many people to go without care if at all possible.
This brings up another problem that many do not feel is being addressed. The issue is unorthodox medicine. Many of us have learned that the so-called “forbidden” cures work better than conventional treatment and want to keep using them. But certain groups now have power over the state Department of Health and are trying to shut down all forms of treatment except those offered by an MD with a stethoscope and a nurse.
For example, I know of a doctor who has regularly offered successful treatments for high blood pressure and cholesterol but has been ordered to stop treatments and study orthodox medicine if he wants to continue to practice.
This doctor practices what he preaches. He gets the results that are needed to assure his patients a long and productive life. To accomplish this, he uses whatever methods work, including chelation, laetrile, osteopathy, naturopathy and other techniques that he knows work and are safe.
Why is someone so successful being persecuted? When people see the ads for so-called “new” medicines (one favorable effect vs. 10 harmful effects), don’t they wonder why these firms are allowed to advertise while safe treatments are discouraged or even prosecuted?
I am outraged by this and intend to push for the answers to these questions.
