The Truth about Health Information

If you are reading this it is because you have an interest in having a better understanding about what the real truth or the real facts are about your health. It is very difficult for anyone. To start with information experts tell us that 75% of the news is really propaganda, disinformation, or opinion. This is particularly true on the Internet. Can we really rely upon a so-called Medical expert? Can we really rely upon anything a government agency releases? Can we rely upon so-called “scientific research”?

Most of the news stories I see when mentioning health are product pitches designed to look like news or research.

There is an entire multi-Billion dollar industry promoting Cancer treatment and almost no one actually working on a cure. While we have made many advances in Cancer treatment life expectancy with Cancer hasn’t really budged much in 50 years. Most of the research and treatment development all surround the traditional treatments of burn, cut, poison. I can state clearly that in 50 years many of these treatments will be looked at as witchcraft. They are crude, invasive and some of the time kills the patient before the disease does.

There is an entire multi-billion dollar industry promoting cholesterol treatment, when in fact any Physician who reads the full range of literature, not just those produced by Big Pharma, recognizes that this is somewhat of an illusion. Many patients are unnecessarily harming themselves by taking satins and related drugs. The original research on cholesterol and attack on fats is now questionable.

15 years ago a friend and the National Sales Managers for a Big Pharma, found a Physician utilizing a special medical filter produced by his company to break up and cure blood born cancer tumors. It was highly successful and also utilized in Europe today. It was so profound that he proposed to the Executive Committee and Board of his Company a plan to set up centers in the US to successfully treat these types of Cancers with this technique. They turned him down flat. The Big Pharma executives stated that they were not in the business of curing Cancer with some inexpensive methodology. They need a pill that can be used with a profitable margin to treat anything. This is their business model, not curing Cancer.

When a “non-profit “charity pays its president $800,000 or more a year it starts to make you wonder about how genuine the Charity is. We are supporters of a free market and whatever someone is willing to pay for a position it is not our business but we have also reviewed the financial statements of many of these “Non- Profits” set up to fight a particular disease and in our humble opinion many are set up to enrich the founders.

Complications. Don’t you love how that word is used? Almost every medical procedure or treatment provided today is accompanied with a questionable statement about the results. These statements are repeated by the company salespeople and the Physicians repeat them to you. Something as seemingly error-free as Lasik eye surgery is an example. Most Physicians will tell you that complications occur in only less than 1% of the Lasik cases. But did you know that in almost every treatment modality no one organization is tracking the error rate. It is just antidotal statements. Meanwhile, a medical technician for a highly regarding eye clinic sued because of the damage to his eyes after Lasik and that his own clinic misled him about the risks. That fact is that Medical Industry doesn’t track, in most cases, any of these complications because it just leaves a trail for litigation. Every time a study suggests something wrong class action legal firms start litigation and extract sums on whether or not it is true, it is less expensive for Big Pharma to settle. There is rising pressure to track all these complications and we are beginning to see results. The general rule for today is whenever a Physician tells you are the percentage of complications multiple it by 3 times and if you are alright with those odds go for it. But be realistic. Why is it that Gastroenterologists tell you there is almost no risk to a Colonoscopy and yet I know three people who have died from complications arising from the Colonoscopy?

This is not a condemnation of Physicians; this is a condemnation of our system. Physicians can only repeat what they have been taught.

Do you know that if you take all the drugs ever approved by the FDA most perform almost the same as a placebo? Independent Researchers who review published research find the results skewed and questionable in most cases. How do you trust a study funded by a company whose product is the answer to the issue studied? The old adage of following the money is right most of the time. Some years ago Duke Hospital wanted to produce a diet plan. The studies were funded by Nestle a diverse food and medical company founded in 1905. Guess what the study and resulting diet centered around? Drinking Nestle sugar-infused chocolate drink.

The entire paradigm of Big Pharma, FDA and how drugs are developed in the US is wrong and will dramatically change in the next 20 years. Do you really believe if there was an inexpensive simple solution prescription that could significantly cure any form of cancer that Big Pharma would develop it? The good news is there are many incredible Physicians and researchers who are developing cures for cancer with alternative therapies to the cut, burn, poison therapies which make up the majority of treatment today. Already, there are FDA approved stool tests that can detect colon cancer without going thru a colonoscopy and blood test that detects cancer years before it shows clinically and it tells you from what organ it is generated. In addition, technology in medicine such as genetics, robotics, and a more functional approach to understanding the underlying causes rather than just treating symptoms are already giving us significant break-thru’ s. The future will be better, less invasive, more effective, and more subtle with fewer side effects than today. In the meantime, it is vital for you to become self-informed.
