Healthcare vs. Medical Care: Knowing The Difference Is Crucial For Your Health Says Dr. Richard Ruhling


Richard Ruhling, MD, MPH, taught health at Loma Linda University after board-certification in Internal Medicine.

Richard Ruhling, MD, MPH is an 83-year old physican who says, “Medical care is not healthcare—it’s the diagnosis and treatment of disease with pharmaceuticals that are a leading cause of illness and death due to Adverse Drug Reactions.”

Ruhling taught Health Science at Loma Linda University, a community featured in the National Geographic cover story, “Secrets of Living Longer”, Nov, 2005. 

One of Ruhling’s teachers, a renowned cardiac surgeon, Ellsworth Wareham, died at home in Loma Linda, California at 104. He helped train surgery residents until he was 95 and got media attention for his plant-based diet, attributing his longevity and vitality to his diet, recommended by Loma Linda University founder, Ellen White. 

Loma Linda University got $40 million from National Institutes of Health for a study to learn why the community lived seven years longer than other non-smoking groups. Ruhling says it was due to Ellen White’s health writings, reviewed by Clive McCay, former Professor of Nutrition at Cornell University who summarized White as “no better over-all guide” about 60 years ago, but it’s still true, says Ruhling. 
White was 100 years ahead of US Surgeon General, saying tobacco was a ‘malignant poison’ in 1864 before science linked it to “malignant tumors” in 1964. 

White did not want drugs taught in her school, but administrators added pharmacology to get American Medical Assoc. accreditation, in spite of her saying “NO!” twice. 

White wrote this classic statement that is proving true.

“People need to be taught that drugs do not cure disease…But in most cases the drug only changes the form and location of the disease.” The Ministry of Healing, pg 126, 1905.

Ruhling understood this too late. His wife got a bladder infection and saw her MD for an anti-biotic. In 3 days, she didn’t need it and stopped, but months later had a rash. Her doctor called, referring her to a hematologist—she had no platelets in her blood test. The hematologist put her in the hospital, did a bone marrow exam and then took out her spleen. Still no better, he treated her with high steroids and transfusions until she died of a stroke! 

Ruhling joined a Christian singles dating website and remarried an RN whose former husband died from the same antibiotic that caused Ruhling’s wife to die. It’s more common than most people would guess, but we always think it’s for the other person.

The Journal of American Medical Assoc. reported 106,000 deaths in hospitals were due to Adverse Drug Reactions, defined as “properly prescribed and administered”, not an over-dose or inappropriate prescription, Apr 15, 1998. 

Western Journal of Medicine (June, 2000) reported 199,000 deaths in out-patients from Adverse Drug Events. Combining both studies makes 305,000 deaths from drugs making medical care the #3 cause of death, but the CDC reported neither study. 

Archives of Internal Medicine reported a study from 1998-2005 in which deaths increased 2.7-fold. 2.7 x 305,000 deaths is 824,000 deaths, making medical care the #1 cause of death in the US, but the Center for Disease Control, in business with pharma, making billions, never reported these studies in their yearly list of Top Ten Causes of Death, blaming heart disease as #1, Cancer, Strokes, Diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol—conditions strongly linked to diet but drugs are hyped as a vital part of “healthcare.” 

Ruhling says pharma started calling medical care “healthcare” in the mid-1970’s as an advertising ploy, and media loves pharma ad, sticking US with a lie because medical care has no focus on healthy habits that Dr. Lester Breslow of UCLA said can add 11 years to life.  
Ruhling, board-certified in Internal Medicine, 1973, says doctors aren’t trained in nutrition or herbs and drug companies can’t patent products of nature for profit.  

Ruhling says he visited US Senate offices with medical journal articles cited above until one senator said, “You are wasting your time…they own us,” speaking of pharma donations to their re-election. 

If the 2.7-fold increase in deaths (above) has continued since 2005, we are seeing several million a year dying from Adverse Drug Reactions defined as “properly prescribed and administered,” when, if people knew the truth, millions might change their diet as Ruhling did 70 years ago, claiming excellent health at 83. He says benefit can be often seen in 10 days but getting use to it may take a little longer.
Eating the main meal in the evening can make us overweight. More calories are stored instead of burned while we sleep and no appetite for breakfast is common, but people get going with coffee which can cause headaches, breast lumps, skipped heart beats or stomach problems. Cancer of the pancreas was reported to have a “strong association” with coffee-drinking in the New England Journal of Medicine, June 25, 1981. 

In 1887, Ellen White wrote, “Disease of every stripe and type have been brought upon human beings by the use of tea and coffee and the narcotics opium and tobacco.” EGWWritings.org, Manuscript 22, 1887

For readers who want more information Ruhling’s book, Health Happiness and Destiny got a 5-star review from Amazon’s Top 100 Hall of Fame Reviewers, Grady Harp, MD. It’s available in a special holiday gift pack at https://HealthHappinessAndDestiny.com with a bonus high-value video that sells on Amazon for $14.95 plus shipping, but no companion book as Ruhling offers at his website.

Society in Turmoil: Dr. Richard Ruhling Says We Must Learn To Navigate Faith, Chaos, And Hope Amidst Rising Tensions And Immorality


Dr Ruhling sees climate change, wars, famine, pandemics and violent crimes bringing Biblical End-Times.

With 65-75% of US identifying as Christians, an increasing number wonder what the world is coming to. A teen is sentenced to life in prison for vehicular homicide, and society is torn by factions politically, racially, financially and by religion. Some say Allah will punish the Great Satan (US) and others say Christ will snatch them to heaven. The pre-occupation of illicit lifestyles has millions living torn lives portrayed by Hollywood in an unreal world becoming real, as headlines become increasingly bizarre and readers wonder what the future holds.

Dr. Richard Ruhling is a retired physician in his 80’s and he has seen a lot of life. He believs people are becoming crazy with negative emotions of fear, hate, anxiety, some of it due to drugs, and some due to fictional media they feed on. “The devil made me do it” may be increasingly true for crimes unimaginable. Is there any hope for society?

“Yes and no,” says Ruhling, “depending on choices. These include turning from the negatives of fictional movies and lifestyles of substance abuse (abnormal use of unnatural foods, beverages or drugs). Vegans, for example, may have fewer problems with all of the above than a teenager trying every new thing on a dare.

"Poking a pin in an electrical socket may be normal at 2 or 3, but at 20 or 30, it’s not cool and time to get off the merry-go-round that seeks social approve for wild ideas. Like Step 1 for the Alcoholics Anonymous or Over-eaters Anonymous, people need to admit their lives are unmanageable and come to believe that a Higher Power is needed to restore sanity. Turning our lives over to God as we understand Him may seem radical, but it has worked for countless people and all ages," said Ruhling.

He notes that a junk food diet ruins the body, but healthy food can reverse the process. So it is with our mental diet. The Spanish word for library is biblioteca—bible tech. The Bible is like a library with excellent information on many subjects. History thought to be fiction, like the Exodus of a million people from Egypt to the Promised Land is supported by the finding of chariot wheels under the Red Sea, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIQ-QAKTqZc&t=10s

Ruhling says he was taught that Moses wrote the first comprehensive health code. Animals to be eaten were carefully inspected and neither the fat nor blood was eaten. That might drop heart disease and cancer from the top of our causes of death today, says Ruhling, adding that prescription drugs are also a major factor for many diseases and death.

Moses also wrote laws that have preserved the Jewish nation in spite of many adversities for centuries. The book of Psalms is an example of poetry that feeds or strengthens emotions and Proverbs has been considered a book excellent for business principles. Daniel’s book on prophecy was cited by Christ when asked about end-times.

Critics who don’t wish to believe the Bible’s claim on their lives say it’s prophecies were written hundreds of years later, but anyone familiar with Daniel can see accuracy that spans 2500 years to our time in Daniel 8:17. “The vision at the time of the end” is a conflict between the political cartoons of a Muslim ram and a goat that flies from the west to breat its horns (militancy) of Medes and Persians that are now Iraq and Iran.

The imagery of a lion, bear, leopard and dragon represent “four kings that shall arise” in end-times. "The lion fits the UK, the bear represented Russia in political cartoons when I was a child," said Ruhling. "The dreadful 4th beast represented Rome and Protestant reformers saw the emergence of a diverse little horn becoming great and doing what the papacy did."

Readers may wonder how we get to end-times from here. Ruhling sees Iran’s nukes and missiles as trouble for Israel cited as victory for Islam in Zechariah 14, but short-lived as they celebrate “Allah has no Son.” Joel 3 says, “The Lord shall roar from Jerusalem…the heavens and earth shall shake” and they will flee, but that earthquake initiates the end-times that we may expect to see soon. A series of events will bring judgment to our world.

Viral Ignorance Is Bringing Avoidable Bondage, Poverty And Death Says Dr Richard Ruhling

Ruhling is an expert on Healthcare which he says is inversely related to medical care

In the Swine Flu of 1918, 50-100 million died, including half of those who contracted the disease in Europe, but in the US, less than 1% of those admitted to the Battle Creek Sanitarium died, says Richard Ruhling, MD, MPH, board-certified in Internal Medicine. He taught Health Science at Loma Linda University and offers the following information on what made the difference in Battle Creek:

Dr. John Kellogg authored 'Rational Hydrotherapy' and pioneered in natural remedies at a time of medical ignorance that used mercury, arsenic and strychnine. Sanitarium guests included people like Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and JC Penny.

The rationale is that white blood cell circulation increases after contrast hot and cold fomentations or baths. Their diet was also different. Kellogg’s Cornflakes and Post Toasties originated in the basement of the sanitarium where they prepared cereals and other healthy eating for the guests. Peanut butter was not invented, but was popularized there as better for health on whole wheat toast with applesauce than bacon and eggs or sausage.

Eating habits greatly affect immunity. The phagocytic index (the ability to engulf germs) is greatly reduced by sugar and the average person gets over 35 grams daily in soft drinks and packaged foods. This explains the flu season every winter after holiday eating of cakes and cookies. Fresh fruits and vegetables are known by nutritionists as protective foods.

Fasting also enhances immunity. As a general practice, a good breakfast and midday dinner is best with abstinence for supper so the digestive organs can rest when we sleep and break fast in the morning. It’s a key to weight loss because calories that we eat at supper get stored when we aren’t burning them at night.

The need for Vitamin C increases under stress, and infection is a stress. It’s water soluble, so it goes out in the urine. Taking 250 mg every 3-4 hours is better than 1000 when faced with infection.

Ruhling faced infection. Working an Emergency Room in Riverside, California, he noticed he was getting sick—scratchy throat, runny nose, achy and feeling a chill. He took his temperature and it was normal. But he remembered that in microbiology, they said viruses were killed faster with fever, so he wondered what he could do to get a fever!

Taking a break, he filled a hospital tub with water as hot as he could tolerate, and in 20 minutes, his temperature was 102.5 (F). As the water was running out, he did the Battle Creek treatment and poured cold water, front and back several times—it felt refreshing. He had no vitamin C, but he skipped supper to enhance his immunity.

He saw his patients and as things slowed down about 11 PM, he thought the bath had helped him, so he took another “fever treatment” with a hot bath, finishing with cold water. He slept well and in the morning, he had no symptoms—catching the ‘bug’ early with a good strategy aborted the flu.

Medical science has admitted that no drug kills a virus. A drug salesman admitted to Ruhling that if the body is losing against an infection, an antibiotic may turn the tide from 49% losing to 51% winning the battle.

With coronavirus, some are promising a cure, but historically, drugs disappoint us and they all have a list of adverse effects, some of which are serious. Why should we risk the drugs when the above measures work?

Even with the Swine Flu, when the Battle Creek Sanitarium was full and they gave instructions on what to do at home, only 4% mortality bested Europe’s 50%.

CNN reported kids who died of the flu all had flu shots. “Even on a good year, the effectiveness of the flu vaccine is about 60%. On a bad year, it’s as low at 10%,” says Dr. Anthony Fauci, National Institutes of Allergy & Infectious Disease. This year is “not a very good match.” And now comes the coronavirus. What can a smart person do to beat the odds? https://needtoknow.news/2020/02/ or https://needtoknow.news/2020/02/robert-f-kennedy-jr-on-the-stunning-corruption-in-the-vaccine-industry-that-has-killed-hundreds-of-thousands-of-americans/.

Ruhling notes that medical care and Adverse Drug Reactions are not even mentioned in the CDC list of leading causes of illness and death, though well-supported by medical literature, http://LeadingCauseOfDeathPrescriptionDrugs.com. He says we are in bondage to a medical system that is not healthcare! Medical care is the diagnosis and treatment of disease with drugs that adversely affect health in spite of symptomatic relief when we could live better and be well without Rx’s.

Billions of dollars are being lost in this crisis as businesses close down due to the real pandemic—fear. It’s so needless when natural remedies and supplements like vitamin C, garlic, echinacea, turmeric, colloidal silver can help. If we live well and aren’t afraid of the virus (but practiced social distance and hygiene, we would be better off than the fear from media and the control that government agencies are forcing on us as a test, moving toward Global Gov. and tyranny?

For a better understanding, Ruhling recommends his book, 'Health, Happiness & Destiny', available in bookstores and on Amazon where a Top 100 Hall of Fame Amazon Reviewer, Grady Harp, MD, “Highly Recommended” it with 5 stars.
