DR DAVID TURNER ON SECONDARY CARE

Columnist Dr David Turner has written an article published in the GP Magazine, PULSE TODAY, titled, "Please stop telling me that my patients do not have anything wrong with them". 

Bearing in mind that GPs often send patients to a consultant for a thorough investigation and diagnosis, only to have the patient sent back to the GP with no further information on what is causing the symptom/s they are experiencing. So what's the point of having specialists if they don't get to the root cause and are able to diagnose? 

David says that the NHS has predominantly been an "illness" service rather than a "wellness" service. My response to him is that secondary care has become emergency surgery only, if you don't require surgery, they're not interested in looking at what could be causing the issue. 

What we require is some functional medicine doctors that look at the whole person and not just an individual symptom. Although I agree with David's experience of the fact that patients are going around and around in circles and not getting very far at all. It is a waste of the patients time and medical staff resources. 

He suggests employing more counsellors to treat IBS patients with CBT and biofeedback, as well as more physiotherapists specifically to treat labyrinthine disorders. 

I don't agree with him on counselling for IBS, I don't agree with CBT for it either. If I was running a Clinical Commissioning Group I would refuse CBT altogether, the reasons explained on previous blogposts. 

What I do recommend is that the NHS embraces nutritionists to help people with gastrointestinal disorders. Gastrointestinal disorders are usually caused by what people have consumed most of their lives. Oxalates found in food also induce breast cancer. We know that IBS is also just a symptom of an underlying issue. Medical scientists have known about the danger of oxalates in food for two centuries, yet there is no public health warning or education about it. Nor does labelling inform people about the content of oxalates in the food that they purchase. Oxalates can be found in most chronic diseases, and a majority of people are eating a high oxalate diet. 

The comments in response to his article are interesting, in one of the comments from GPs, it says that one of his patients died during the endoscopy procedure. 

Has far as Physiotherapists are concerned, try to find one inside the NHS, when you ask them why you aren't receiving any physiotherapy, they tell the patients that they are not allowed to touch you. Unless you've had an operation, all that NHS physiotherapy does is hand out exercise sheets, when patients are asking for help with an immediate health problem. Of course they're all sub-contractors that work for the NHS that provide the service that just isn't working. Who gives them the contracts regionally? The Clinical Commissioning Groups. 

Hence I don't agree with him on that recommendation either because when you ask physio's why they're not giving you any physio they say that they don't have time because they have too many patients. It's clearly far quicker and easier to hand out exercise sheets that a majority of patients either cannot do or refuse to do. Hence, the NHS is just kicking the can down the road and patients are on a conveyor belt, it's a numbers game for the sub-contractors. The sub-contractors have no responsibility for the success or lack of it for patients.

If you are interested in Oxalates, the health professional with a degree in nutrition and masters in public health, Sally K Norton is the author of a book on it titled, "Toxic Superfoods". When you bear in mind that men excrete only 40mg of oxalates a day, and women only excrete 30mg of oxalates a day, just by eating one medium sized potato they've exceeded the daily amount their bodies can excrete. Yet, the NHS has only focussed on oxalates being involved in producing kidney stones. 

Oxalates are also a culprit that stops people from shedding weight. After 4 months I shed two stone in weight when I reduced my potato intake by 98%. After 2 months the eye condition, Blepharitis stopped completely. Oxalates impact on everything from your brain to your bones. I have to say that my ENT consultant is excellent at the private hospital that I'm able to access on the NHS. He was very pleased with the success that I had achieved with castor oil. 

When I spoke to the GUT charity about oxalates, they refused to accept that oxalates is a major cause of gut issues and they said there wasn't any research to prove it. Although they'd be open to receiving some and funding it. That's another issue, money gets poured into Cancer research, yet next to nothing is given to researching oxalates. Sally K Norton, shared in one of her broadcasts that India is doing the most research on oxalates because Indian spices are high in oxalates. 

And what about social care? We have 9 million unpaid carers in the UK. 40,000 care workers left the health care system due to refusing the injections. 

Together says that "Social care is utterly broken, decisions in covid brought it to its knees." Together Cabinet Social Care Chair, Amanda Hunter speaks to the Together membership.

NATION DIVIDED HYPOCONDRIA

I was listening to Talk Radio and afterwards Jesus spoke of "Hypocondria", our nation is divided by those that "fear" Covid and those that don't. Jesus taught his followers to never be afraid for has it is written in scripture, "worrying cannot add a single day to your life". 


When you consider the damage that has been done to the UK economy and the health of our people, people should be outraged to know that it is the World Bank and the IMF that have been offering governments money if they lockdown and introduce curfews. Has Jesus said many years ago, "Silence is Compliance", and I certainly will not be silent nor will I comply with Boris Johnson who is increasing the debt of the nation that future generations will be asked to pay. 

People in the UK were already suffering from "Health Insecurity", due to not being able to access appropriate treatment prior to the lockdown, now the situation is far worse with 18 million people waiting to see a medical professional. 250,000 people are waiting for MRI scans, I've been waiting a year for an MRI scan. Some people are also suffering hypocondria on top of that due to "project fear". 

Did you know that people are having heart attacks and that "fear" is killing people? 26,000 more people have died at home than usual. 

Couldn't access hospital care or too afraid to go to hospital? A thorough investigation of those 26,000 cases is called for because only 3% of those people had flu or Covid. The government is now combining cases of flu with Covid cases so how will people ever know the true stats of the virus? 

So what treatment do people with "hypocondria" usually receive from the NHS? They're given anti-depressants and CBT. Neither of which heals the condition that they endure. CBT is an American methodology that was developed in the 80s. They close down cases to boost their stats so that they can get more government funding. Another outrageous situation supported by successive governments.  

Clinical psychologists across the EU and from America have challenged the IAPT CBT service at a conference held in 2014 in England.

87% of Suicides on Antidepressants

"more than 87% of people were taking antidepressants at the time of death". Figures published last week in the Evening Telegraph in Scotland.

Families should sue NHS England and the drug companies.

Jesus warned us about Herod's court and the Pharisees. Herod executed his wife, and his two sons. Did you know that Herod's mother was the daughter of an Arab Sheik. There was a very important reason why Jesus warned his worthy healers about those that came from Herod's court.

Who developed CBT, Aaron Beck in Philadelphia, (USA) academics, professors, clinicians throughout Europe have concluded that the CBT stats do not stand up to academic scrutiny. It's an American system, Americanisation of our NHS. In 2014, there was a conference challenging IAPT CBT in England.

Now take a look at the APRIL Charity, that have been campaigning against these drugs. This charity is worth supporting.

17 years ago I tried to attain support for opening healing centres for young people that were depressed and suicidal.  Angels Healing Trust, As Dr Bob Johnson found out, if you are successful at what you do, it is very difficult to attain funding and the support required to give the appropriate help. Why, so many people, organisations and charities support the drug companies, so many different stakeholders involved in the UK and America.

So in 2005, I had to move on, as I couldn't afford to invest anymore time in trying to get it up and running, and the divine plan was calling for the next urgent phase of the mission of compassion and mercy. The following year I launched "Spiritual Psychology", at London Excel, and gave a talk on it.

Spiritual Psychology, that incorporates the successful work with poor families, after that I was sent to Israel to call a gathering.

Although in 2007, another opportunity was shown to me, once again, I spoke to business people about raising the funds to open a local healing centre for poor people to receive free complimentary medicine treatments with the opportunity to work with this former consultant to Sure Start.

Once again, the rich were not willing to give, they were asking to make a profit out of it, and this heart of integrity said no.

Do you see what's happening, with the privatisation of the NHS, the companies involved are people making a profit out of our national healthcare, while people are dying in increasing numbers with pharmaceutical drugs involved.

The NHS is being Americanised and those that have done their research have seen what has happened to the people in America. Is that how you would like England to end up, like America, I don't think so. The EU tried to standardise healthcare across Europe, to fit the American system, and it hasn't worked. Just this week the Care Quality Commission have issued their report on the state of the facilities being provided by the privatisers.

We require services that support the NHS, not take away from it's original intention for being. No more private companies hiding behind the NHS logo and brand name.
