Why don’t you?
I don’t have the power.
Nonsense. You’ve the power and the ability right now to end world hunger this minute, to
cure diseases this instant. What if I told you your own medical profession holds back cures,
refuses to approve alternative medicines and procedures because they threaten the very
structure of the “healing” profession? What if I told you that the governments of the world do
not want to end world hunger? Would you believe me?
I’d have a hard time with that. I know that’s the populist view, but I can’t believe it’s actually
true. No doctor wants to deny a cure. No countryman wants to see his people die.
No individual doctor, that’s true. No particular countryman, that’s right. But doctoring and
politicking have become institutionalized, and it’s the institutions that fight these things,
sometimes very subtly, sometimes even unwittingly, but inevitably. . .because to those
institutions it’s a matter of survival.
And so, to give you just one very simple and obvious example, doctors in the West deny the
healing efficacies of doctors in the East because to accept them, to admit that certain
alternate modalities might just provide some healing, would be to tear at the very fabric of the
institution as it has structured itself.
This is not malevolent, yet it is insidious. The profession doesn’t do this because it is evil. It
does it because it is scared.
All attack is a call for help.
That is the proper quote. I will comment more on it later, but it should put the quote into more perspective.
