Dr. Ruhling states that medical care is the diagnosis and treatment of disease with pharmaceuticals, while healthcare should focus on healthy habits and prevention, which he argues are often neglected in favor of drug-based treatments.
He argues that adverse drug reactions from properly prescribed medications make medical care a leading cause of death, and that focusing on healthcare (healthy habits) instead can significantly extend life, as evidenced by communities like Loma Linda.
He cites studies from the Journal of the American Medical Association (1998) and the Western Journal of Medicine (2000), which reported 106,000 and 199,000 deaths from adverse drug reactions respectively, and an Archives of Internal Medicine study showing a 2.7-fold increase in such deaths from 1998-2005.
Ellen White was the founder of Loma Linda University and a health writer whose teachings, including warnings against tobacco and drugs, are credited by Dr. Ruhling for the community's longevity. She advocated for a plant-based diet and opposed teaching pharmacology in her school.
Loma Linda, California, is featured as a community where residents live about seven years longer than other non-smoking groups, attributed to Ellen White's health principles, including a plant-based diet, as studied by the National Institutes of Health.
His wife died from complications after taking an antibiotic for a bladder infection, which led to a severe adverse drug reaction, and he later remarried a woman whose former husband died from the same antibiotic, illustrating the risks he associates with medical care.
Dr. Ruhling says this began in the mid-1970s as an advertising ploy, which he criticizes because it misleads the public by associating drug treatments with health, despite a lack of focus on healthy habits.
The article implies that public health agencies like the CDC may underreport deaths from adverse drug reactions, and that prioritizing lifestyle changes over pharmaceuticals could reduce mortality, as suggested by studies linking diet to conditions like heart disease and cancer.
People should be aware that drugs may not cure disease and can cause serious harm, and they should consider adopting healthy habits, such as a plant-based diet, to improve longevity and reduce reliance on medical care, as recommended by figures like Dr. Lester Breslow.
