The Hippocratic Oath is widely believed to have been written by Hippocrates, often regarded as the father of western medicine, or by one of his students.
The Hippocratic Oath is one of the most widely known of Greek medical texts. It requires a new physician to swear upon a number of healing gods that he will uphold a number of professional ethical standards.
“I swear by Apollo, the healer, Asclepius, Hygieia, and Panacea, and I take to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my judgment, the following Oath and agreement:
To consider dear to me, as my parents, him who taught me this art; to live in common with him and, if necessary, to share my goods with him; To look upon his children as my own brothers, to teach them this art; and that by my teaching, I will impart a knowledge of this art to my own sons, and to my teacher’s sons, and to disciples bound by an indenture and oath according to the medical laws, and no others.
I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone.
I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion.
But I will preserve the purity of my life and my arts.
I will not cut for stone, even for patients in whom the disease is manifest; I will leave this operation to be performed by practitioners, specialists in this art.
In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing and all seduction and especially from the pleasures of love with women or men, be they free or slaves.
All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or in daily commerce with men, which ought not to be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal.
If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all humanity and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my life.”
There are many [ethical] problems that are contrary to the Hippocratic Oath, including but not limited to abortion, avoid any voluntary act of impropriety or corruption, omitting or changing words or phrases in the Oath and replacing with words relevant to conventional medicine. Are these ‘arts’ really what we want the medical community to do to our bodies? Our family? Our loved ones? Our friends?
It is time for a different but similar Hippocratic Oath for us Natural Mom’s and Dad’s, one that points out the differences between conventional vs alternative medicine.
I swear by my family, who I love, respect and whom I am dedicated to their health and well being, I take to witness all the mothers and fathers around me, to keep according to my ability and my judgment, the following Oath and agreement:
To consider dear to me, as my parents, who taught me to think for myself and care for my family, and not the greater good, to share with others who are willing to listen and learn, just as I teach my children and loved ones, and that by teaching them, I will impart a knowledge to the art of love, caring and compassion, to others who choose to follow against the art of conventional medicine and learn of an art in alternative medicine.
I will share my experiences and knowlege, not to be taken as instruction, but to be taken only as experiences while citing scientific studies, knowing that my judgement is intended to never do harm to anyone.
I will never suggest any deadly alternative medicine to anyone if asked, nor suggest any such counsel, and similarly I will not give a woman a reason for an abortion.
But I will preserve the purity, virtue, honesty, respect and dignity of my life and my knowledge of alternative medicine.
I will not suggest any medical procedure that cannot be resolved without the use of conventional medicine, but instead will leave it to the decision of the individual whether to seek medical attention to those who are practitioners and specialists in the art of conventional medicine.
Every person I will meet, who seeks my knowledge, I will give my opinion and knowledge for the good of others, just as I would treat my own family, keeping myself from doing ill and expressing my own opinion and experiences, leaving one another’s story to be given by only them.
All those who may come to me seeking knowledge in my experiences as a caregiver to my family, I will not give any direct order or suggest any harm of any kind, upon others who are not in my care.
If I keep this oath faithfully, I will enjoy life as a parent, sibling and friend and will seek respect from all who are in my care, but if I sway from this oath or violate it in any way, may the reverse be my life.
Now, doesn’t that sound better?
The NHM Oath is more [ethical] to those who use and practice alternative medicine, even more ethical in conventional medicine. Think Big Pharma, the CDC, FDA, and Dr’s who get kickbacks from Big Pharma, presented by the drug reps with samples, pens, mugs, letterhead tablets, and many other items to put that drug name in the clinic for all staff to remember.
That right there is corruption, especially when our government is in bed with all of them. Is it an affair on them all? No, it is an affair on the uninformed people who are told:
“No shots, no school!”
“You can’t leave the hospital with your baby if you don’t give the HepB vaccine!”
“If you don’t vaccinate your kids, then you cannot return to the clinic!”
“It’s all your fault that vaccinations don’t work!”
or the infamous words uttered by parents who vaccinate their kids,
“Unless you vaccinate your kids, then don’t get near my kids!”
If, in fact, vaccines worked as well as we are told:
“Get the MMR and your kid won’t get measles, mumps or rubella!”
then why are there so many parents out there afraid of unvaccinated kids?
Since antibiotics are so readily prescribed, does that mean that they work? Of course they do! They kill the bad bacteria, but they also kill the good bacteria – leaving your immune system to fight off germs and viruses. Make the immune system sicker than it already was? That must be where the phrase “It will get worse before it get’s better” comes from!
What Dr’s don’t, (or won’t) tell us is that there ARE alternatives out there that do work and have been scientifically proven to work, but they won’t tell you that. It isn’t their job to tell us about proven treatments that have killed bacteria, fungus, parasites, viruses (yes, antiviral alternative medicines are out there!) cancer, controlled seizures and much, much more!
The information is out there, you just have to look for it. I’m sure that you know at least 10 people who use alternative, natural therapies to treat medical issues.
Don’t get me wrong, I do use conventional medicine [at times] but only when needed.
When surgery is needed, or necessary I’ll take advantage of my health insurance benefits but I probably won’t have a chance to meet my family deductible unless there is a surgery.
That being said, the advice given here is NOT intended to be taken out of context, those who post as a guest blogger, will only be giving their experience and will not act in place of a medical professional.
