Rising From The Dead

After reading her first book, Dissolving Illusions, which was an excellent and evidence-based look at the history of vaccines and disease, I knew I had to read this book as well. It did not disappoint- it actually arrived right before a vacation, so I had the time to finish it within about 4 days. Suzanne Humphries went from being a nurse's aide in a nursing home to a medical doctor and kidney specialist. She met many wonderful doctors and nurses along the way but also saw firsthand many abuses from doctors, nurses, other hospital workers, and within the system itself. She was having trouble reconciling the training she was receiving with the health of her patients, which seemed to get worse not better under the rigid "gold standard" of medical care. After earning her degree and finishing her residency, she found that even as an official "expert" she still had very limited ability to do what she thought was best for her patients, based on her experience, her education, and what the evidence says in mainstream medical literature. She was shackled to the "gold standard" that mostly meant more drugs, more vaccines, more antibiotics, and worsening health. She eventually moved to another state to work in a place that she loved and where she stayed for many years. But even there, she experienced the abuse of merciless one-size-fits-all hospital policies that would not allow room for independent thought or even common sense. She was also shackled to the half-million dollars of medical school debt she had accrued which were coming due. She had little choice but to do as was expected, rather than the very best that she felt could have been done for patients, just to stay afloat. And at the same time, she felt dead and dying on the inside herself. On another front, Dr. Suzanne was going through a spiritual journey. She saw flaws and conflicts within the Catholic Church system where she went to school as a child, so during her college and medical school years, she was an atheist and hostile toward Christianity. But she felt empty and dead inside spiritually, so she sought the guidance of a New Age/Hindu shaman that she calls “Medicine Man”. He had an eclectic, mystical form of spirituality that seemed to be open and inclusive toward all religions. After years of weekly meetings with him and a small group of other followers, however, she began to catch Medicine Man in inconsistencies or outright lies. And besides that, she continued to feel dead spiritually, no better after 10 years than when she started. At the same time as her disillusionment with Medicine Man, she faced a very difficult situation with her mother that finally pushed her to take her spiritual life seriously. She started asking tough questions of a trusted friend along with seeking out answers for herself. She finally had no more questions and had to act upon her new belief. What happened was life-changing. Not only was she able to do what was needed for her mother, but her whole life transformed in many other ways. Best of all, she was both at peace and finally alive again-“risen from the dead”- in her heart. (Read the book for details!) In her medical practice, Suzanne had been able to pay off all of her student loans, so she was free of the “golden handcuffs” that pin so many doctors down. She had come to a sticking point where she could no longer continue to work at the job she had once loved. The hospital where she worked wanted very sick patients to be vaccinated on the day of admission, even people in the middle of a stroke! She brought the problem to the attention of the administration but was ignored and contradicted even though her professional advice had always been heeded before. So she left for a journey to find out what she didn’t know and to re-learn what she thought she knew, all based on history, biology, statistics, scientific studies, and medical journals. She has now written an excellent book (together with Roman Bystryanic) called Dissolving Illusions, lectures throughout the world, operates a private general practice, and continues learning everything she can to really help heal and even cure her patients. Dr. Suzanne is very open and (sometimes brutally) honest about what goes on in medical school, in hospitals, during surgeries, and in the minds and hearts of doctors. She talks about the depression that so many of them face, brought on by staggering student loan debts and mindless hospital policies and “gold standards”. This leads to a suicide rate higher than the general population among doctors, and patient care by people who are unwell themselves. She touches on several other topics in the book that she has been researching. These include the importance of babies being born vaginally (not via c-section), delayed cord-clamping, breastfeeding, forgoing vaccines, using vitamin C, the importance of bacteria, and using antibiotics and pharmaceutical drugs only sparingly. She includes some specific examples of people who have been in her practice or have written to her and their stories, as well as the voices of other doctors and nurses who have reached out to her. She explains why we often cannot trust the “scientific studies” on pharmaceutical drugs and points out that many doctors do not report negative vaccine reactions because they don’t even know that a reporting system exists! I hope Dr. Suzanne continues to research and write more individual books for each topic that she mentions in this one. A great read for anyone in the medical profession (and especially anyone considering going into the medical profession) and anyone who wants the best of health for their family.

This is a most crucial document of our time, exposing a 'health care' system gone insane. Then later in her autobiography it passes into her experience with Jesus that helped her deal in a healthy way with her rocky relationship with her mother. If you look past the exclusivist arrogant obtuse fundamentalist dogma-theology you will find the true healing Christ here, everyone's personal true teacher-comforter. Not bounded, limited or mediated by any church, any expert or ANY authotity - but of course this is relentlessly opposed by all good fascists since it fails to bow to their 'superiority' & further their world domination mandate. Suzanne's Jesus is actually the Chist incarnate in All. This is of course, to most Bible inquisitors, a horrible 'heresy'. Punishable by the worst possible torture & execution. God did not make us to fear or be in pain or sick. We have pain & fear to tell us something is wrong & needs remedy. I was raised both Catholic & protestant. I am Confirmed. I am totally familiar with Suzanne's exposition of faith but am deeply disillusioned of both Catholic & Protestant which I do not see as basically so different from each other. My 'faith' is my own business & evolved by hard experience & study over 60 years. Like Suzanne with the 'medical profession' I see astounding arrogance & ignorance in all the Christian sects - all based on their essentially identical dogma-theology, the Pauline interpolation. I take Christ Jesus' words to heart & see the Pauline dogma, where it has been put into Christ's mouth, for the Inquisitorial monarchist arrogant blasphemous garbage it is. The Authority King James editions & their like are full of it. Rationslize it all day long, the idea that Pauls words & his dogma-theology preside over Christ's is ludicrous. Her honest reporting of the arrogance & ignorance of conventional medicine exposes the unimaginable unbelievable damage done to patients, families & thus to our country. I have personally experiece what she has. The same however is true of the horribly distorted history we are taught in our schools. We do not know our own history. Neither do our leaders. So we will forever repeat it. And this is true also of our religious institutions & what they teach. All of them are based on the holy roman apostolic (Paulist) dogma-theology, including the protestant. Martin Luther believed each person was entitled to their own viewpoint & personal spiritual-salvation perspective. However Paul prefers to force his dogma-theology on all. Paul has many beautiful things to say in his letters appended to the 4 gospels, but invariably destroys it with his repetitious formulaic dogma. Which is actually the Hebrew messianic theology that Jesus rejected. That rebellion & Jesis' case against the money changers ensured his fate This same dogma has been interpolated back into the gospels & into Jesus' mouth. King James was above all a tyrant. His 'Authorized' bible reflects his concerns, not ours, & asserts a monarchal top-down judgemental critical dictator alien to the basic teachings of Christ. Millions of the earliest Chrisians, mostly country people (so-called heathens, pagans & witches), from the first century to the 16th were slaughtered & executed enmasse, to consolidate holy roman power & supremacy of the apostolic dogma & church (then the protestants joined in with their own Crusades & massacres). This same theology -dogma is basic to the protestant beliefs. The same kind of arrogance & ignorance is basic to the origins (the barbers, shave & haircut) of our sadistic brutal missogenist so-called modern western medical system that originated in the 1600s, in the witch trials & inqisitions. We are all entitled to our beliefs & cannot evolve otherwise. To force one belief on the world is to halt human evolution & enslave all of us. No real human progress can be made under present religious & medical systems, except on a personal-individual level & small groups, couples (wherever two or more of you). The basis of the Inquisitions, Crusades & 'witch' trials is the same - it is the same as the so-called Christian evangelical pushing today - it is the interpolated dogma-theology of Paul found in the Catholic apostolic statement, the so-called Apostles' Creed. To deal most effectively with your health & healing issues - all of them - you must discard the conventional advice (based on crony capitalist pseudo science bureaucratic dictates) and get to the truth. There is Dr. Bruce West at Health Alert, Dr. Mark Micozzi at Insider's Cures, and the leader in the field, Sally Fallon Morell, particularly her current book Nourishing Fats. The current dietary advice of low fat, anti saturated fat, is destroying us big time.

Rising is a riveting page-turner! It's one of the most fascinating books I've read in five years. It's a funny, searing, and beautifully written memoir that is well worth your time, even though you're too busy to read memoirs. (Who isn't?) Suzanne Humphries, M.D., describes how she came into medicine, why she left it, and what she learned along the way. Humphries is one of the very best seekers and thinkers, looking beyond standard medical care toward a vision that incorporates its precision but is safer, less invasive, less profit-driven, and more respectful of patients.

I loved this book! It is so informative and truthful. She really cares about people and genuinely wants to change the world for the better! Please read!!

How I wish that every doctor and nurse had to read this as part of their condition of employment and that every patient or potential patient studied this in school, along with ‘Dissolving Illusions’. Then I wish that all kinds of health practitioners, ‘alternative’, complimentary, energy healers, homeopathic, naturopathic and allopathic would listen to and respect each other for the benefit of all. Together, we can make huge improvements in healing and wellbeing.

I didn't expect to be so engrossed in this book. It tells of Dr Suzanne Humphreys 'journey' through life. In particular it is about her career, but is punctuated by anecdotes of medical staff and patients she meets along the way. It is, surprisingly, an 'unputdownable' book because of the excellent way it is written Thoroughly recommended

An incredibly well-written and thoughtful read. There is so much madness in the medical profession. Suzanne Humphries speaks it loud and clear from the most reliable experience. It is absolutely shocking that this fine physician is ignored by the mainstream that must preserve the status quo, regardless of the cost; people (even children) are dying and/or suffering in unimaginable ways. Thank you for sharing your life story Suzanne. I feel certain that this book will help to open more eyes to the truth and empower more people to take back their health and their lives.

A must read for anyone "waking up" to the issues with conventional medicine including drugs and vaccines. This personal account from a qualified doctor within the medical system is inspiring. She opens right up to all the experiences that brought her to a place where she could truly help her patients, and to talk about the issues publicly with fearlessness, in particular vaccination, albeit at personal cost. She is very informed and well researched, whose best interests are with patients, not the medical industry or herself. I hope that the medical profession in particular will read this. People need more informed and holistically minded doctors who are not afraid to speak up.
