What Really Killed Bernie Mac?

Bernie Mac Another Casualty of Conventional Medicine?
by Mike Adams
fist tap Intellectual Insurgent
The number of famous people dying at the hands of conventional medical doctors is increasing at an alarming rate. Today comedian Bernie Mac (best known for appearing in Oceans Eleven and The Bernie Mac Show) died following hospitalization and treatment for pneumonia. At the young age of 50, Bernie Mac joins an increasing roster of other notable celebrities who have died while being treated with conventional pharmaceuticals or chemotherapy: Heath Ledger, Peter Jennings, Tim Russert and many more.

Articles like this start out okay, but then quickly lose credibility IMO by overstating things, i.e.,

"Sarcoidosis," meanwhile, is just a fancy-sounding name for an out-of-control autoimmune response caused by an imbalanced immune system which is disrupted by dietary imbalances and exposure to toxic chemicals through processed foods, pharmaceuticals, personal care products and other environmental sources (like pesticides or cleaning solvents). Bernie Mac didn't really have sarcoidosis; he was merely given that label by doctors who attached a fancy name to a pattern of symptoms that Bernie Mac expressed. "

Sarcodisis doesnt really exist. Gotcha.

I read your piece Robyn.

At first I felt you.

Then I thought about it, and couldn't really pinpoint which part of that proposition deserves to be summarily dismissed.

Are not the people who brought us "Shaky Leg Syndrome" and "Social Anxiety Disorder" capable of bringing us "Sarcodisis"?

I followed the link. My heart broke over Bernie's death... especially because my immediate reaction was that American medicine killed him. I wonder if Bernie would be alive if exposed to natural treatments that boost the immune system. Tragic.

He didn't have a job. He didn't just have talent. Bernie Mac's comedic gift was a blessing from GOD himself, because laughter is truly a medicine.

Well, you have to remember who shaped our medical system:

Dr. Morris Fishbein (1889-1976) originally studied to be a clown. Realizing he could make more money as a doctor, he entered medical school (where he failed anatomy), then barely graduated. He never treated a patient in his life.

Why is he so important? Because he became head of the AMA, a position that he used to enrich himself and crush legitimate therapies out of existence. He appeared to be motivated solely by money and power.

As head of the AMA (and editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association from 1924-1949), he decided which drugs could be sold to the public based only how much advertising money he could extort from drug manufacturers, whom he required to place expensive ads in the JAMA. There were no drug-testing agencies, only Fishbein. It was irrelevant if the drugs worked.

Fishbein was a shakedown artist. Yet, today, there is a Morris Fishbein Center for the History of Science and Medicine at the University of Chicago.


So, someone using the media to manipulate the system against all concern for human betterment solely for greed and profit? Now, what type of social terrorist does that sound like?

Yup, you guessed it folks...

Coming in at #57 on Chicago's Top 100 Jews of the 20th Century:

57. Dr. Morris Fishbein was the editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association for 25 years, exerting great influence on American medicine.

Jews are essentially an infectious social disease. And once infected, your country has about 100 years until destruction by slow death, with a more rapid death spiral at the end. There's a reason why they can never stay in any host country for too long. Eventually, the host realizes its being sucked to a dry husk and tries to repel its invaders (too late)...and the parasite needs a new host full of lifeblood, anyway.

Big Byrd,

That was probably your best work, yet.

I neither agree nor disagree with your analogy regarding Jews and their effects on society, but I believe that the analogy is founded, though harsh.

Bernie's death was a shock to me, also. Didn't he recently perform at an Obama event? I never met him, but he struck me as a good person. Not just a good comedian.

RIP Bernie Mac.

I cried. not only because I knew him but because I know he didn't have to die.

what we don't know about this medical system and the critical importance of eating to live is going to continue to kill us.

I'm guessing the people who "have died while being treated with conventional pharmaceuticals or chemotherapy" is about....ummm.... EVERYBODY.
Russert had a heart attack. Ledger overdosed on 47 gazillion different meds, Jennings had cancer (which kills you, whether you go natural or not)...
These examples are not good ones.
I think if this author wanted to make a legit point, he could've chosen people who clearly would've lived LONGER had they not been on meds, and proven such a claim with data on folks who HAVE lived longer by steering clear of the "conventional pharmaceuticals" about which he speaks.

Fascinating how Byrd can take ANY topic, and turn it into a rant on how shitty Jews are.

Bernie Mac died? "Yep, cuz Jews suck."

Your cousin just had a baby? "Awww, how cute. Jews suck."

Wow! You solved that Rubik's cube! "Yep, even though Jews suck."

Please pass the salt. "Ok, but remember, Jews suck."

Thanks prince. Facts are facts.

Mel, sorry, but wherever you find rotten wood, you find termites. It just is what it is. And any good analyst doesn't stop at the surface, but digs down to the root causes. To turn a blind eye to this is actually mass hypnotic racial denial. That's like pretending not to notice that ~85% of the NBA is Black.

But I guess you could also make a game out of it like the "Kevin Bacon" degrees of separation...lol. Once you see the hallmark symptoms, you know the bug causing it.

I liked Bernie too btw. He was just intrinsically funny, and didn't stoop to making lowball racist jokes or rely on scripted punchlines or profanity. He was just funny in telling human stories about life.

I noticed your rhyme a little lower. I respect that every man has his own preference in a woman, but I can't believe you can't appreciate this:

My point is that we must be cautious in both respects, i.e., we must be equally leery of over diagnosis as summarily reducing EVERYTHING to a function of poor diet, and pesticides.

People can be told to eat well, and to be considerate of the crap that's being put in their body without inferring that every physician with a prescription pad is somewhere being paid to play mad scientist.

I find that with most issues, there is self-serving propaganda ON BOTH SIDES!

Like I said, this article went too far and used assumptions about Bernie's condition to drive an established agenda. All that crap about Bernie...how they know? Did Mrs. Mac contribute to the article?

I won't even mention new stories about Road Rage being a real medical ailment, and how people were filmed indicating "I feel so much better on the road" now that they're on some kind of mild altering medication.

Road Rage. Hmph. We used to call that 'drivers with bad attitudes and out-of-control tempers.' Makes me sick. (oops. I shouldn't say that. Somebody might try to medicate me or something).
