4. Naturopathic Medicine

Chapter 4 Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic physicians have excellent track records in helping people to recover from viral illnesses. A colleague of mine, Virender Sodhi AMD, ND has a clinic in Bellevue Washington. Here are his results with his prevention and treatment of COVID-19 patients as reported in the Indian publication DT Next:

“Dr Virender Sodhi, a naturopathic and ayurvedic physician from Washington state with over 32 years’ experience practicing in the US has positive testimony of administering a preventive protocol for over 2,000 of his regular patients and records that it has yielded a 100 per cent success rate. “We have developed a dedicated protocol that we administered for our regular patients and followed it up with a survey questionnaire to collect our data and not even one COVID19 positive case was reported till date,” said Dr Sodhi.

He went on to add: “We started getting calls from new patients who tested positive and we did telemedicine for them and put them on our protocol. We have treated 14 positive cases, the majority of them over 70 years of age and in the high-risk category with hypertension and diabetes conditions. Yet all turned negative within seven days of administering the protocols. The numbers we treated may not be large but the fact that we have a 100 per cent success rate is comforting and reassuring.”

All of my Naturopathic colleagues that I have talked to in the last 4 months have similar stories – and not one of their patients has died from COVID-19. This is perhaps the best-kept secret of the whole pandemic. Why wait for a new, expensive and unproven vaccine when you can enjoy the benefits of science-based, clinically verified Naturopathic medical treatments now?

Conventional medical doctors practicing allopathic medicine focus on strategies that kill microbes (virus or bacteria).15 They use vaccines, anti-biotics and anti-virals, etc. Naturopathic doctors on the other hand deliver therapeutics that help the body to kill

the microbe and/or to alter the terrain of the body so that the microbe cannot survive. This approach is much better and more effective than the “Kill the bug” approach because if you just develop medicines that kill the bug, the bug develops resistance to the drugs. Then you get the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which is in my opinion, the next plague. Even the World Health Organization agrees with me on this count: "Antibiotic resistance is growing, and we are fast running out of treatment options," says the WHO's assistant director-general for health systems and innovation, Marie-Paule Kieny.16

Let’s say that there’s a place in your backyard where water collects and remains after a rainstorm. It will eventually attract mosquitos. To deal with the mosquitos, one solution would be to pour mosquito-killing chemicals on the water. A better solution would be to drain the water, so that there is no more place for the mosquitos to breed. That’s an imperfect, but effective metaphor to describe the difference between MD and ND treatments for infectious disease.

The proper perspective makes all the difference when you are trying to figure something out. MDs bring to the table an old fashioned, ill-informed perspective –and that is why we are getting sicker as a country while under their care. In the first chapter, I gave the statistic of Black Americans who – while constituting only 13% of the population, suffer from the symptoms of this pandemic by 23%. MDs blame this on genetics. This is incorrect. My colleague, Dr. Joel Wallach wrote a book years ago called “Black Gene Lies, Slave Quarter Cures.” It completely disproved the notion that African Americans suffer greater incidences of heart disease and blood-sugar abnormalities (which they do) because of genetics. Genetics has nothing to do with it. Diet has everything to do with it. Blacks in this country eat more fried food than any other demographic. Fried food is loaded with a chemical called acrylamide. Acrylamide causes inflammation and cancer. It is absolutely, positively the wrong food for the human body. Eating it is like putting diesel fuel in an unleaded engine. Over time the consistent consumption of large quantities of fried food whittle away at the health of the consumer. Then something breaks. Not because of a bad gene – but because of bad medical care. This is why blacks in the USA are more susceptible to viral stress than members of other races. But because conventional medical doctors do not know this, and because they have no training, no clinical experience, no

respect nor appreciation for applied medical nutrition, their patients’ health fails – and the doctor gets a pass – because it was the doctors’ fault that they became ill – it was the patients’ fault. After all, they were the ones the bad genes.

Naturopathic physicians bring a reality-based, and correct perspective to bear on the subject of health and its acquisition. Our treatments are in-step with natural law and produce remarkable results most of the time. But because of the AMA-driven, Bigpharma sponsored medical monopoly that has existed in this country since 1912, most Americans do not even know that we exist. More’s the pity. If we had been consulted by the Trump administration about how to deal with this (presumed) pandemic, there would have been no lockdowns, no shutdowns, and much fewer deaths. Rather than wait for the ship of the government to turn around and support my profession, it would be prudent of you to take up the cause of your own health right now by following my and my colleague’s health recovery advice. It’s high past time to Rise Up Into Health and become the hero of your own health recovery.

The write-up of what myself and my colleagues do to both prevent and treat viral illnesses, including but not limited to the current SARS coronavirus 2 pandemic can be found in the next chapter.
