Health Myths and Outright Fraud

Listening to a recent interview by a renowned astrophysicist who perceives himself as, “universally scientific”, was quite enlightening. He condemned all natural healthcare and stated that it did not rise to the research standards the scientific community expects. How such a well-educated and seemingly intelligent individual could be so blind is not only perplexing but frightening. When the general public hears such statements from respected individuals, they assume it to be true. Sadly, the fact is that most science today is corrupt at its core and created, paid for and manipulated by special interest for the purpose of marketing of products or ideologies.

Any awakened person would notice that there is an ongoing onslaught of lawsuits facing pharmaceutical drug manufacturers due to the side effects, including demise which is common in that world. Since the FDA that is supposed to monitor food and medicine is funded by the very companies they are supposed to investigate, it is no wonder the public has become guinea pigs and research subjects. In fact, there is little serious science being done; most of it is a tailored checkbook creation of propaganda and sales. Until their project begins to maim people, billions are gained in profits. Although free enterprise is a healthy economic standard, when it comes to human life and health, you would expect more compassion.

People have been taught for generations to believe in the credible standard that governments and institutions should represent. Sadly, these very organizations have crumbled under the pressure of profiteers. Their molding of the minds which, got us to believe that a pill will reverse a lifetime of poor living, just does not make sense. Even the natural health field has fallen into the trap of recycling misinformation and expecting their patients/patrons to believe they do not have to participate in their own prevention and healing.

Jackie Mason, the renowned comedian, has a routine where he states one week, bread is good for you, the next week it kills you. One week vitamin C eliminates common colds; the next week it doesn’t work. Of course the audience always chuckles since they can relate to his sentiment. If one is not thinking clearly and just going along with the program, it can be frightening, at best, and dangerous, at worst.

Health leaders, researchers, physicians and organizations that disseminate health info and data are commonly known for their bias. This grows out of the arrogance that humans possess in the field of human biology. We have effectively separated ourselves from nature and placed blinders on our eyes thinking that we are unique to the ecosystem and biological community. In fact, like all other species and lifeforms, our lives and future are determined by the choices we make. Legitimate science calls this epigenetics. Causative reasons for aging prematurely and encouraging and developing disease are self-motivated realities that stem from limited perception.

We most often look at the norms and trends that feel comfortable to participate in and try to validate their benefit. As an example, in recent years, chocolate and coffee have been fraudulently elevated to a status of health foods. Pure science that is unadulterated offers volumes of data on their depredating properties. Although I believe that supplements are an essential part of any healthy lifestyle, as I point out in my book, Supplements Exposed, over 90% are unnatural, chemically laden pills that weaken our overall health. When governments who are in bed with the meat and dairy lobby refuse to report the empirically rich evidence about the harms of consuming these non-foods and, not report this to their citizenship, the World Health Organization has had to step in revealing this alarming fact. When many of the popular health books are literally funded by and marketed aggressively by organizations that benefit from their theories, one must stand strong to avoid the trendy, brainwashing affect that this may have on the public at large.

Here at the Hippocrates Wellness, since 1956, we have been conducting clinical research on our hundreds of thousands of participants. As we develop our depth of understanding on how lifestyle affects our overall health, we have refined and established criteria for a life of health and happiness. Although there are those who will challenge our premise, there are none with such a long and successful history.

Though we do see a handful of open minds in the hierarchy of medicine and biology rapidly moving in the direction we have pioneered, the majority of those in medicine and science are completely detached from such truth.

Our mantra is common sense and our mission and exploration are to educate and place the duty of health, maintenance and recovery on the individual.

As health professionals, we must humble ourselves and acknowledge that we do not have the ultimate power to reverse disease, but at best, can participate and provide guidance to those who are suffering. Rather than the disparity that exists among different fields in the overall health community, we should assume our relevance and offer that to the equation in order to achieve maximum benefits.

Economics has, unfortunately, skewed the world of well-being and products and profits govern the direction that it is currently taking. Placing individuals in the center of this process will once again encourage them to make the necessary changes in their life so that disorder will either be lessened or abolished. We should also remove the word, “cure” from the medical vocabulary since it leads individuals into the false belief that they have magically recovered. This frees the less conscious from being vigilant in their choices so they do not develop a recurrence or a new form of disease. Replacing, “cure” with “remission” would be honest and ethical. One remises something providing they continue to indulge in a positive attitude, pure diet, productive movement and spiritual connectivity. Barring contagious diseases, accidents and the 5% or less that are truly genetic, everything else has been manifested by the sufferer themselves. What you create can be disassembled. What you imagine can be manifested.

Although these sound like philosophical approaches, they are time-proven empirically studied, effective ways in dealing with disorder. Do not look for quick fixes; snake-oil resolutions or magic. Spend time looking at yourself in the mirror and asking the most important question; do I have the self-respect and commitment to make my body, mind and consciousness function well without fail? Now is the time; you are the one, and if you’d like, we are here to assist you in the process of self-healing.
