Fighting Fire with Fire

Once again, isn’t it clear from the news clip by CNN (see report in my previous blog) that conventional medical treatment is fighting fire with fire? It's repeated far too often!

Often in a raging fire, people inevitably die. But need we add more fire to it?

What is the solution for eradicating a fire from a house that is starting to burn down? Isn’t the solution obvious? Yet there are people who choose certain options that cause more harm than benefits. For examples, they:

1) simply let the fire rage on without doing the necessary to rid the house of the fire (due to lack of knowledge, complacency, or couldn’t-care-less attitude), or,

2) while the fire is damaging properties (human lives), they employ fire-masking or other ineffective fire-fighting—rather than helpful, stop-fire—measures. These, they do perhaps not knowing, or not knowing fully well, that the fire will deteriorate further by their actions), or

3) continue to play with the fire (while the fire is burning, they do, or wait for others to carry out, research and/or clinical trials to discover possible fire-fighting practices or to find out possible solutions—especially when the solution is clear-cut. Nothing wrong with experimentations or trials per se!), or worse still,

4) add more fuel to the fire, or use more fire to fight an existing fire, thereby worsening the whole situation¹.


It is no different in the Raptiva scenario in my earlier blog; up till now, three patients treated with Raptiva have already died, and one more may be adding to this number; quite likely there are other unreported cases of such deaths. Need we carry on with the treatment, and see more deaths and suffering? The European community of doctors and other interest parties is wise in recommending an immediate cessation to the usage of “fire” to fight this fire. What do you say? Come on, have your say!




¹ One may say, “But the solution has not been found yet! ² How can we fight the ‘fire’ properly?” That is beside the point! At least one can stop adding fire, or cease from adding fuel to the fire that contributes to more people dying!!

² Please write me to discuss this further. As I mentioned, we can certainly help with psoriasis, or for that matter most other ailments as well as chronic and degenerative diseases. And these fire-fighting procedures come with no side-effects (albeit possibly, some recovery “crises”)!
