Trusting doctors

Why is it that people put so much faith in doctors, when they should be looking to God? I really don't understand when people rush to the doctor for every little thing, and actually believe that they know what they are talking about.
Yes, doctors go to school for a long time, but they don't know everything. That is why it is called a medical PRACTICE. They are practicing on people, hoping that some day they will get it right. Well, let me tell you, they never will.
Most doctors know nothing about natural healing and natural child birth. They are trained to look for something bad, even if it means running thousands of tests.
In the Bible it even says that doctors are worthless. God is the Great Physician.

Look at the story of the woman with a blood issue... http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%205:25-34&version=KJV  ...verse 26 is the key.

I found this eye opening tidbit on another site while I was researching the verses above,

Is there ANY use for present-day doctors?


There are three different categories of medical problems: 1) Trauma,
2) Congenital Deformities, and 3) Disease.

God’s Promise is to “Heal ALL our DISEASES.” Psalm 103:3. The text says nothing about Trauma or Congenital deformities.
Trauma means “injury” such as when one breaks a leg, or is in a motor vehicle accident, or is the victim of a gunshot wound. Jesus had Trauma. He was beaten before He was crucified and He was injured when a crown of thorns was placed on His head. This is NOT “Disease.”

Trauma is NOT caused by the way one eats, lives, and handles stress. Trauma needs to be treated and repaired surgically by a Trauma Surgeon.

Congenital Deformities or Congenital Anomalies are in the category of Birth Defects. A child may be born with a cleft palate, or an extra digit, or a club foot, or some other anomaly. These are NOT caused by the way the child has been living, eating, and handling stress – although, in certain instances, it MAY have been caused by the way the mother was eating, living, and handling stress while she was pregnant.

This is NOT “Disease.” Congenital Deformities need to be surgically corrected by an appropriately trained Surgeon.

Diseases ARE CAUSED by the way we live, eat, and handle stress. In order to get well, we must CHANGE the way we live, eat and handle stress. We must follow GOD’S way, and NOT the ways of “man” – the ways of doctors! (For more information, see www.drday.com)

Doctors learn only TWO methods of treatment: 1) Give DRUGS, to cover up the symptoms by Poisoning or Burning the patient, or 2) Take out – or cut off – the “problem” organ by mutilating surgery.

Drugs never solve the underlying problem. They only “treat” symptoms, and they ALL have side effects. Drugs only change the form or location of the disease, they NEVER cure the disease. That is why, in many instances, the doctor will tell you that you have to be ON the drugs for the rest of your life.

God tells us in Revelation 18:23 that He abhors the use of drugs, because when a person is sick, and has symptoms, it is supposed to be a Red Flag warning to Turn to the Lord for the answers. Something is wrong with the life of the person who is sick, and ONLY the Lord’s Plan can make the person well.

Only GOD can show us how to live, how to eat, how to think and act, and how to handle stress. “Man’s” ways – the ways of “science and medicine” NEVER work in the long run. They may make a person FEEL better temporarily, they may temporarily appear to “shrink” a tumor, but they NEVER work to REVERSE the underlying disease, because NO doctor can address the problem of the “heart.”

THAT is God’s domain. Only God can reach down into your heart, and open up for you the things you need to CHANGE in your life, who you need to forgive, how to love your enemies, how to get the selfishness out of your life. THAT is where DISEASES begin, and NO doctor can touch that area.

God did not give us an extra supply of organs. And organ donations are certainly NOT God’s way.
God tells us that those who give out Drug Medications are an “Abomination to the Lord” and that the WHOLE WORLD will be DECEIVED by their “sorceries.”

“. . . for by thy sorceries were ALL NATIONS deceived.” Revelation 18:23

The word “sorceries” in this text, is the word pharmakeia in the Greek – pharmacy - DRUGS - in English.

The WHOLE WORLD will be deceived by the DRUG medications prescribed by doctors. God defines them as Sorceries and Witchcraft. Because Drug medications are essentially the same as street drugs. They are given to make a patient FEEL better, or to make the lab test numbers LOOK better, but they are only a temporary “Quick Fix.” They NEVER solve the underlying problem, - the actual CAUSE of the disease, which always begins in the “heart” because we want to live, eat, and handle stress OUR way, rather than GOD’S way.

The English words sorceries and witchcraft are the numbers 3784 and 3785 in Strong’s concordance. These words are found in: Exodus 7:11, 2 Kings 9:22,2 Chronicles 33:6Jeremiah 27:9, Daniel 2:2, Malachi 3:5, Isaiah 47:9,12, Micah 5:12, Nahum 3:4.

The equivalent words in the Greek – sorceries, and witchcraft – are numbers 5331 and 5332 in Strong’s Concordance, as found in Galatians 5:20, Revelation 9:21; 18:23; 21:8; 22:15.

That Greek word is pharmakeia, or pharmacy – drug medications – Sorceries and witchcraft, according to the Bible.

The Bible terms drug medications, prescribed by doctors, as Sorceries and Witchcraft – because disease is a Spiritual problem. It begins in the “heart” – in the attitudes and disposition because we want to live, eat and handle stress our OWN way, rather than learning to trust God.

So ANYTHING – including doctor-prescribed drug medications – that pulls us away from God and HIS wisdom - and towards the world and so-called “worldly wisdom” is anti-Christ. God says, “The wisdom of man is foolishness with God.”

Those who prescribe drug medications – doctors, pharmacologists, and pharmacists, are termed witches and sorcerers and poisoners (pharmakos) in the Bible. God is so much against drug medications, because they lead people away from Him, that in the Old Testament, God told Israel:

“Thou shalt not suffer a witch (#3784) to live.” Exodus 22:18 (According to the Bible, a witch is one who dispenses drug medications.)

“There shall not be found among you anyone that makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or that uses divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch (#3784),

“Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer

“For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord.” Deuteronomy 18:10-12

It is not surprising to see that the Greek root “Phar. . .” is in all of the following words that are associated with the enemies of God and Christ:

Strong’s Concordance number:
#5328 – Pharoah – enslaved and tried to destroy the Israelites, the followers of God.
#5329 – Pharisees – those who murdered Christ
#5331 – Pharmakeia – drug medications – sorceries, also often kill those who
take them
#5332 – Pharmakeus – one who drugs or poisons people – druggist (and
physicians who give out drugs. Actual definition – poisoner or sorcerer
– one who poisons or kills.
#5333 – Pharmakos – the same as #5332

I do want to say that I believe congenital deformities are a direct result of disobeying God. I will leave that topic at that.

I am personally ashamed that I did not realize any of this before Tabitha was born, but thankfully, God showed me in my research while I was pregnant, and even before when I was in school and worked in the doctor/hospital setting, that God made us healthy already. We do not need vaccinations and drugs to keep us healthy. All we need is our God given ability to nurse our children, which gives them antibodies and to eat the fresh wholesome foods that God taught us to grow. We also have herbs that we can grow that help with symptoms, that will not harm us, since they are given to us by God, while we figure out what area in our life needs work.

I am also kicking myself for going to the hospital a couple months ago. The only result was major frustration and a huge bill, that could have paid for something else we truly needed. I should have listened to my heart and not my head. God was telling my heart not to go...

I know our family still has a way to go to being fully sustainable, but we are taking baby steps, so we don't overwhelm ourselves.

The reason I was in the medical field in the first place was because of my Grandmother. I was going to grow up and be a nurse, so I could take care of her. I went through a medical academy during high school and even became a nursing assistant and worked in the children's hospital during my senior year. I went to medical assisting (more training, less pay) college after I moved to Ohio. Grandma died 2 months before I graduated. I kind of lost why I chose that profession after that, but I took a job in a pediatrician's office and was shown so many cruel and horrible things while there. God gave me an out and I took it 3 years later. Knowing what I know now, my children will not set foot in a doctor's office again.
Getting back to my grandma, I now understand now why she was so sick ever since I can remember. She was not right with the Lord. Grandma and Grandpa were active in the Mohamed Shrine Temple, all the while touting that they were Christians. The same thing followed my grandpa and father.

Here is also an interesting tidbit on the symbol of medicine:

Caduceus, symbolic staff surmounted by two wings and entwined with two snakes. Among the ancient Greeks the caduceus was carried by heralds and ambassadors as a badge of office and a mark of personal inviolability, because it was the symbol of Hermes, the messenger of the gods. According to Book IV of Virgil's Aeneid, the Greek god Apollo gave the staff to Hermes in return for the lyre. In Roman mythology the symbol is associated with the god Mercury. The staff of Asclepius, the Greek god of healing, which was entwined by a single snake, was also called a caduceus. The caduceus has been adopted as a symbol by the medical profession; it is also the emblem of the medical branches of the United States Army and Navy.
The snake and staff in the center of the symbol portray the staff Asclepius who, according to Greek mythology, was the son of Apollo (god of light, truth and prophecy). Supposedly Asclepius learned the art of healing from the centaur Cheron; but Zeus - king of the gods, was fearful that because of the Asclepius knowledge, all men might be rendered immortal. Rather than have this occur, Zeus slew Asclepius with a thunderbolt. Later, Asclepius was worshiped as a god and people slept in his temples, as it was rumored that he affected cures of prescribed remedies to the sick during their dreams.

Asclepius was usually shown in a standing position, dressed in a long cloak, holding a staff with a serpent coiled around it. The staff has since come to represent medicine's only symbol. In the Caduceus, used by physicians and the Military Medical Corp., the staff is winged and has two serpents intertwined. Even though this does not hold any medical relevance in origin, it represents the magic wand of the Greek deity, Hermes, messenger of the gods.

Either you will run to the world or doctors to save yourself or you will run to God for saving. You cannot have it both ways and expect it to be pleasing to God.
