LIVING PROOF? An appalling story of 'conventional medicine'
When New Zealand dairy farmer Alan Smith contracted ‘swine flu’ and was admitted into intensive care, his condition deteriorated rapidly, he contracted leukaemia and was placed on life-support. With his lungs unable to operate, and with no hope of their patient making a recovery, it was determined by his doctors that the equipment artificially sustaining Mr Smith’s life should be switched off.
Faced with the appalling prospect of losing a loving father and husband, the Smith family met with the doctors and requested that they give Alan high-dose intravenous vitamin C. The doctors refused, stating that there was no proof vitamin C did anything. The incredible story of what happened next should be broadcast far and wide across the planet to the execrable shame of the medical personnel concerned. Google this story which was on NZ 60 Minutes
Dr Ron Ehrlich from the Sydney Dental Centre has a new website - www.drronehrlich.com.au.
Ron is on a mission to raise awareness about true health and how to achieve it. He will also raise awareness about who benefits from the current dietary guidelines which have led us to record levels of obesity, diabetes and other chronic health problems. The answer is it is not the consumers who benefit!
