“What’s the difference between God and a doctor? God doesn’t think He’s a doctor.”

Patient Beware! Journal of the American Medical Association admits doctors are third leading cause of death in the U.S. Quackwatch is major proponent of AMA and conventional medicine.

Last year JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) admitted that doctors are the third leading cause of death in the U.S. Personally, I think the statistics are on the low side. I wouldn’t be surprised if they”re the leading cause (remember that old saying, “doctors bury their mistakes.” And those mistakes often don”t make it into the records. I’ve seen it.)

I blame this sad state of affairs on the fact the AMA is an arrogant government-backed guild dedicated to protecting doctors’ incomes, status and professional and political power at the expense of peoples’ health and lives. It doesn’t get rid of bad doctors and attempts to prevent competition. Without competition, the status quo becomes frozen. This means protecting the status quo becomes more important than protecting people (years ago doctors use to make house calls. Guess what happened to that?) Protecting the status quo is one of those bad laws of human nature. Continue reading →

Government And Medicare Have Driven Up Our Medical Costs.

March 15, 2002 ~ In 1962 I still lived in the Los Angeles area, where I was born and where I grew up, where I attended private school and UCLA. In August, 1962, I moved away from the congestion to my second home, Arizona, where my grandparents had lived and where I had spent much of my childhood. However, the main reason for coming here was that my mother had undergone very serious surgery at the UCLA Medical Center in June, 1962, and I wanted her to be around her mother and sisters.

Two facts need to be established so that the purpose of this article is clear. First, there was no such thing as Medicare in 1962 and most medical and hospital services were affordable to working men for themselves and their families.

Second, I was the sole support of my mother and her only child, she was not covered under my employer’s health benefits at any premium, because a dependent parent wasn’t eligible. As a woman business systems analyst, I was paid about half what the men made for a similar job. Continue reading →

March 17, 2016 ~ There are many trials in this life that we must all face. With the passing of Joey Feek on March 4, 2015, the world lost a true angel. Rory and their daughter have had someone with them, who was truly a rare individual – an Angel here on Earth.

Behind the scenes of “When I’m Gone” recording. Rory wasn’t allowed to sing on this taping (NOTE: A video which is no longer available. ~ Editor). He did NOT like that! It broke his heart, even then, at the thought of losing Joey. . . Little did they know, at the time of the recording, this would be a message from Joey that Rory would need over and over and over again. Continue reading →

SMALLPOX may be used as a bioweapon by terrorists.

Originally published by Kettle Moraine, Ltd. on March 17, 2002 in the early days of the Original Federal Observer.com – but it DOES deal with Smallpox. ~ Editor

Ramses V, one of the pharaohs of Egypt, is believed to have died from a smallpox infection. Smallpox evolved relatively recently, appearing approximately 10,000 years ago around the time when humans developed agriculture.

Eradicated from the world during the 1970s, few individuals living today have any immunity against this deadly pathogen. Continue reading →

I went to see my Doctor at the Hershey Medical Center. I proceeded to explain to him that there was no law requiring most people to pay Federal Income Taxes. Dr. Richard Levine got all upset and called the Emergency Room. He then asked me to go to the emergency room and talk to a psychiatrist. Dr. Levine said to me that he did not know if the Psychiatrist would Hospitalize me or not for stating that there was no law requiring most people to pay Income Taxes. He said that a few days in the Hospital might do me some good.

I did not go to the Emergency Room I went home because I did not want to go to the Psychiatric Ward. When I returned to Dr. Levine’s office for a follow-up appointment, I told him that I did not go to the Emergency Room. Dr. Levine called my boyfriend into his office with us and told my boyfriend that I was having Delusional thoughts. He then proceeded to ask me if I still thought that there was no law requiring most people to pay Income taxes. I said “No I thought about that and it would be impossible for the Government to fool the entire Nation.” I had to say something or he probably would have had me locked up. I hated saying something existed that I knew didn’t. Continue reading →

Preparation Used by Military Is Unlicensed, Controversial.

The federal government will begin offering anthrax vaccine as an experimental treatment to thousands of people potentially exposed to the deadly bacteria during a series of attacks this fall, administration officials announced yesterday.

For those wary of taking the controversial, unlicensed vaccine, health officials laid out two alternatives: take an additional 40 days of antibiotics or take no new medicines and wait to see if symptoms arise.

The decision to make the vaccine available as early as today reflects growing unease that antibiotics may not be sufficient protection against a disease that scientists know very little about. Bacteria may survive longer in people”s lungs than 60 days and continue to pose a health threat. The vaccine may enable the immune system to fight off any lingering spores. Continue reading →

Patients could be forced to take medicines or receive vaccines for contagious diseases that pose a public health threat, such as smallpox, under the model law. Patients wouldn’t be allowed to appeal a state’s decision, though the state would likely quarantine anyone who refused to comply, triggering an appeals process…

If the Bush administration’s seeming incompetence in handling the anthrax issue and tendency to issue conflicting statements generating confusion and panic in the public has you puzzled, perhaps this may shed a bit of light on what they are actually up to. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) has drafted a model law which will require forced vaccinations of all Americans, imprisonment and quarantine of those who refuse to submit to vaccination, seizure of property and other drastic measures.
