Cameron preaches at the Church of iatrogenics

High priest David Cameron enchants members of the Church of iatrogenics and other followers of the God of Modern Medicine by announcing  £814m to help vaccinate children. At the same time plans are being revealed of a Vatican II like re-organisation of the inner workings of the Mystical body (commonly called the NHS).

Why do we ignore the work of the so-called "heretic" Dr. Ivan Illich? He documented quite clearly, with supporting evidence in his book, Medical Nemesis, the following facts:

• 90% of the reduction in the worst diseases had come before widespread immunization or antibiotics.
• Nutrition and disease link is much better 
• Environment is everywhere the most important way to control disease and promote health 
• Current nutrition levels would have been fatal except for hygiene 
• Some medical related developments have increased health: contraceptives, treatment of water and excrement, use of soap and scissors by midwives, small pox vaccinations of infants, antibacterial washing and insecticides.
• Rate of doctors in a population, number of hospital beds, nor their clinical tools relates to increasing health if other factors are considered.
• Supply of doctors does not relate to prevalence of disease, rather doctors live where they like and they like to live where it is healthy, where people work and are healthy and can pay them.
