Economic Impact of 0bes!ty to Surpass $4 Tr!ll!0n by 2035

Economic Impact of Obesity is a lie made by industry

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

The growing obesity epidemic shows no sign of stopping and is predicted to cost over $4.3 trillion by 2035, when experts estimate more than half of the global population will be overweight or obese, and nearly 2 million will be obese
The rising number of children with obesity not only increases a child's risk of health challenges during childhood, but also raises their risk for health concerns in adulthood including blood clots, overweight and obesity, cardiovascular disease and premature death
According to the Pentagon, 77% of persons aged 17 to 24 do not qualify for military service for three critical reasons, one of which is being overweight or obese
Obesity is the leading cause of knee replacements, infertility, liver failure and severe COVID-19. Conflicts of interest obstruct truthful nutritional guidance, such as Coca-Cola's campaign to promote exercise and drink Coke and pushing seed oils high in linoleic acid, which increases inflammation and increases snacking

In 1954, obesity was called a common physical abnormality.1 Today it's called an epidemic.2 Many of the complications related to obesity are health conditions that negatively impact quality of life and increase health costs. These include lung, liver and heart diseases, arthritis and gout.3

The 2023 report4 from the World Obesity Federation estimates that the economic impact of overweight and obesity will surpass $4.3 trillion annually by 2035. In the U.S., the CDC5 reports the prevalence of obesity in adults was 41.9% measured from 2017 to March 2020. This represented an increase from 30.5% from 1999 to 2000. The estimated annual medical costs were roughly $173 billion in 2019 dollars.

Using this estimate, medical costs for obese adults were $1,861 higher than those who had a healthy weight. In children and adolescents6 aged 2 to 19 years from 2017 to 2020, the prevalence of obesity was 19.7%, which in raw numbers was approximately 14.7 million adolescents and children. The prevalence ranged from 12.7% in 2- to 5-year-olds to as high as 22.2% in 12- to 19-year-olds.

According to data collected by the CDC, obesity affects some groups more than others7 and some areas of the country more than others.8 Kentucky and West Virginia have the highest percentage of the population who are obese in the country, while Washington, D.C., has the lowest.

2035 Obesity Economic Impact Estimated to Surpass $4 Trillion

The World Obesity Federation 2023 report9 predicts that more than half of the global population will be overweight or obese by 2035 and nearly 2 billion will be obese. The 2022 estimate10 was that 1 in 5 women and 1 in 7 men or roughly over 1 billion people will be obese by 2030. In other words, in just five years, from 2030 to 2035, they estimate the number of individuals who will be obese will nearly double.

According to the World Obesity Federation,11 1 in 7 people across the globe is living with obesity. They estimate this number will increase to 1 in 4 by 2035. The rising number of overweight and obese individuals has a significant impact on health care costs. According to the report, the economic impact in 2035 will reach 3% of the global GDP which is comparable to the cost of COVID-19 in 2020.

Additionally, childhood obesity may double from 2020 levels in boys and is predicted to more than double in girls. Of the 10 countries with the greatest estimated increase, all are either in Asia or Africa and nine are from low or lower-middle-income countries.

They estimate that continued failure in prevention and treatment will lead to these 12-year estimates, and they call for the development of national plans around the world to address this growing epidemic.

According to the Federation, the report emphasizes the need for action plans but acknowledges the impact of several external factors such as climate change, COVID-19 restrictions, chemical pollutants and new pandemics. The Federation’s partners include pharmaceutical, technology and weight loss companies, including:12

Boehringer Ingelheim	IFA Celtics	Medtronics
Allurion	Vivus	Lilly
Pfizer

The report is used to promote World Obesity Day, during which the Federation encourages conversations about obesity to correct misconceptions, “acknowledge its complexities, and take effective, collective action. Because when we all talk, debate and share, we can shift norms and transform health outcomes for everybody.”13

Childhood Obesity Raises Risk for Adult Health Concerns

The rising number of children with obesity not only increases a child's risk of health challenges during childhood but also raises their risk for health concerns in adulthood. Obese children14 are more likely to have other serious physical and mental health conditions. Mental health challenges may include anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, a higher risk of being teased and bullied, and poor social skills.

Some of the serious medical problems that can arise from childhood obesity during childhood are liver disease, high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, sleep disorders, respiratory problems and premature puberty. Each of these conditions also raises health care costs.

Yet, as data have demonstrated, the psychological, physical and financial challenges associated with childhood obesity follow an individual into adulthood. One study15 published in March 2023 from the University of Gothenburg demonstrated that overweight children had an increased risk of blood clots as they moved into adulthood.16

The researchers sought to evaluate the contribution that childhood obesity may play in the one-third of thromboembolic events that are known to be related to obesity. They gathered data from 37,672 men for whom they had data on height and weight during childhood, puberty and young adulthood.

They concluded that being overweight as a young adult was a strong determinant in the risk of adult venous and arterial thromboembolic events in men and that being overweight as a child was a moderate determinant.17 A 2016 meta-analysis of 15 studies and 200,777 participants demonstrated that obese children and adolescents had a five times higher risk of being obese in adulthood than those who were not obese.18

Although childhood obesity can increase the risk of certain cardiovascular health challenges in childhood, a 2017 systematic review with meta-analysis19 also demonstrated that childhood obesity could be a risk factor for adult cardiovascular disease.

A 2020 literature review20 acknowledged that the rise in body mass index in children triggers a variety of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases that increase the risk of early onset disease in young adults that ultimately reduces their productive years and may lead to early disability.

Childhood obesity also increases the risk of premature death beginning in middle age. A 2020 study21 published in PLOS Medicine sought to evaluate whether that risk also occurred in young adulthood. The researchers collected data from 41,359 individuals and determined that the risk of mortality in early adulthood could be higher for individuals who were obese as a child.

77% of Potential U.S. Military Recruits Considered Unfit

A 2009 military fitness report from the Pentagon entitled “Ready, Willing, and Unable to Serve,”22 revealed that 75% of Americans aged 17 to 24 were ineligible for the military based on three crucial reasons — lacking a high school diploma, having at least one prior criminal conviction or being physically unfit.

The report revealed 27% of potential recruits are too overweight to join the military and many of them are turned away by recruiters. Roughly 15,000 potential recruits failed their entrance physicals because they were overweight or obese. These numbers rose further in the 2022 Pentagon report.23

The 2022 study showed 77% of individuals aged 17 to 24 would not qualify for military service due to being overweight, using drugs or having physical or mental health challenges. Most of the applicants were disqualified for multiple reasons. Major Charlie Dietz, a spokesperson for the Department of Defense, noted that other factors are also involved including a declining veteran population and youth who are more disconnected and disinterested than previous generations.

"The retired admirals and generals of Mission: Readiness recognize that the underlying causes of obesity cannot be solved by the efforts of the military alone," the Council for a Strong America said in a statement.24

"With an increase in youth being ineligible for military service, it is more important than ever for policymakers, including state and local school boards, to promote healthy eating, increased access to fresh and nutritious foods, and physical activity for children from an early age."

Adult Obesity Raises Risk for More Health Challenges

Obesity increases the risk of several multiple health conditions in adults,25 including but not limited to high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, respiratory problems, gallstones and gallbladder disease and joint problems.

Obesity is also a leading cause of knee replacements, infertility, liver failure and severe COVID-19. One Australian study26 of 56,217 patients showed that obesity increased the risk of knee replacement surgery. Of the patients who received a knee replacement due to osteoarthritis, 31.9% were overweight and 57.7% were obese.

Obesity also affects male fertility. Research presented at the Endocrine Society's 2022 annual meeting in Atlanta, Georgia,27 revealed that maintaining healthy body weight in childhood could help prevent male infertility later in life.

Children and adolescents who were overweight or obese, or who had high levels of insulin or insulin resistance, tended to have smaller testicles compared to their normal-weight peers with normal insulin levels. According to the study’s lead researcher, “More careful control of body weight in childhood and adolescence may help to maintain testicular function later in life.”

High fructose intake and obesity are also driving factors in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This is the most common chronic liver disease in developed countries28 that results from lifestyle factors, such as diet, exercise, weight management and smoking, and is not related to heavy alcohol use.

In the U.S., 24% of adults have NAFLD, and another study29 presented at the Endocrine Society's 2022 annual meeting suggested that high fructose consumption was associated with an increased risk of NAFLD. Foods high in fructose, including soda and candy, are associated with obesity and diabetes, which are also associated with NAFLD.

Data has also shown that obesity increases your risk of severe consequences from COVID-19. A July 25, 2021, article30 by Joel Hirschhorn on Trial Site News highlights what he refers to as a “missed public health opportunity.”

Hirschhorn is a full professor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, a senior official at the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment and the National Governors Association, and a member of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons and America’s Frontline Doctors.

Even though we’ve known for well over a year that obesity is one of the most common and most significant risk factors for COVID-19 (aside from age, which you have no control over), public health authorities have ignored the issue and failed to provide guidance on how to reduce excess weight.

“Would not fighting obesity qualify as a valid prevention approach to curbing the ill effects of the COVID pandemic?” Hirschhorn asks. “Could the reason for the government's lack of aggressively pursuing an anti-obesity campaign be a bias for promoting vaccines? It seems a likely explanation.”

Conflicts of Interest Obstruct Truthful Nutrition Guidance

Many factors contribute to overweight and obesity challenges, but the primary focus must be on the food and beverages you consume. However, instead of producing healthier products, the food industry develops campaigns designed to increase their profits without regard to your life.

For example, to improve the perception of their product, Coca-Cola created a public relations campaign promoting exercise to fight obesity and argued that their beverages are part of a healthy lifestyle.31 The campaign blamed the growing obesity problem on a lack of exercise in children and adults. Yet, as research has demonstrated, this was a lie since you can never out-exercise a bad diet.

Other factors that contribute to the growing obesity problem is chronic inflammation32 and the endocannabinoid receptors in your brain. One food substance you eat that is related to both factors is linoleic acid (LA). As I have written before, LA is a significant contributor to the inflammatory domino effect that eventually kills.

LA also stimulates the endocannabinoid receptors in your brain that cause an effect similar to the “munchies” people experience after consuming cannabis. Blocking these endocannabinoid receptors was the mechanism the obesity drug Rimonabant used to cause people to lose weight. However, it also caused a significant increase in suicidal depression and was removed from the market, which was a strong illustration of the law of unintended consequences.

Collectively, consuming too much LA is a primary factor driving the overweight and obesity epidemics. The obvious solution? Radically limit PUFA and LA so as not to stimulate the endocannabinoid receptors in the first place. PUFA also impairs mitochondrial function to decrease energy production, along with impairing thyroid function, so there are additional reasons to cut way down on your intake, even if you're not overweight.

Examples of seed oils high in omega-6 PUFAs include soybean, cottonseed, sunflower, rapeseed (canola), corn and safflower.33 These processed seed oils and vegetable oils get integrated into your cell and mitochondrial membranes, damaging the structures34 and setting the stage for health problems. With a half-life of 680 days,35,36 it can take years to clear them out of your body.

They also get incorporated into tissues such as your heart and brain. One result of this could be memory impairment and an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. Canola oil, in particular, has been linked to further damage in people with Alzheimer's disease.37

One thing standing in the way of proper nutrition guidance from the government is also a conflict of interest. In her book, “The Obesity Epidemic: What Caused It? How Can We Stop It?” Zoe Harcombe exposes the fallacy that a calorie isn't a calorie and explains:

"The UK has something that it calls the Responsibility Deal. We call it the Irresponsibility Deal. It's actually the stated intent of the government to work with the fake food industry, to try to do something about obesity.

There's a professor in the UK who said, "You may as well put Dracula in charge of the blood bank." It really is as crazy as that. I have a little chart [showing] these conflicts of interest. Those are the organizations behind public health dietary advice."

Y0ur Health - Y0ur Resp0nsib!l!ty

Your Health - Your Responsibility
(Responsibility)

I don’t really expect this article to be very popular. It seems as if the subject of Responsibility has the ability to stir up emotions and a great deal of debate. Launching the subject is as fashionable as inviting a skunk to a tea party.

And yet, Responsibility is probably the greatest issue that needs to be faced when it comes to attaining a state of excellent health and doing well in life. It seems to me there is no getting around it or running away from it.

Way too often, people are willing to be victims and are overly agreeable when it comes to leaving their physical, mental and even spiritual health up to others. For some reason they are awfully eager to place the well being of themselves and their families in the hands of the Government, the Medicos, the Gurus, and the Psychs. In my books, this is a good way of becoming a slave. It is the runway to sickness and disease.

It may seem completely unreasonable to claim that you are absolutely 100% responsible for the condition you are in, but it has been my experience that any other way of looking at this leads to failure, illness and death.

Oh, I’ve heard the arguments to the contrary. “What about babies born with a disorder or a deformity?” people always ask. “Surely!” they say, “These children didn’t “choose” to be ill or deformed.” Well, even in these examples of the very young, research is finding and confirming that such is the case. One of the most famous published cases on record that proves this out was that of ole Doc Christopher himself, who discovered that he had learned “to hate” at the very young age of 14 months old, after his birth mother and father had left him in an orphanage. He discovered that this “hate” had been the “mental cause” of his childhood Thyroid difficulties and his Thyroid cancer in later years. Additionally, there are many cases and confirmed reports of “pre-natal” decisions being made that have physically affected the person afterwards. The real proof of the pudding here is that those who adopt a “full responsibility / no excuses” attitude get better and do very well in life. Doc Christopher and his contributions to mankind is one of the best examples I can think of. His ability to LOVE and care was legendary.

But don’t just take my word for it. The key here is to LOOK and DECIDE for your self. You have to decide what works for you.

How can one be responsible when there is so much conflicting information regarding health and healing? What an area of confusion!

This is where you have to try things and filter out the untruths as they apply to you and your family. When my friends and clients are spinning around looking for answers, I like to ask them what they were doing when they felt the best. More often than not they tell me they were eating well, exercising, and liked what they were doing in their lives. Well? What does this tell you? When they again do those things that were successful, get even more educated and do some serious cleansing - wow!! Then they really see RESULTS! And believe me if these people are ever told by a Medico that they have a serious disease, they already know what they plan to do to handle it. Many wouldn’t dream of letting a Doctor touch them or a family member.

And this brings me to my next important point. Get the knowledge you need to be healthy NOW! This information will serve you well, should you, a friend, or a family member be told they have a serious, incurable disease. When you are under the stress of such news, it is not the easiest time to start learning about the body, how it works and what would be the best thing to do. However, if you are already grooved in, you know exactly what you need to do and can immediately get started on those actions you believe are best for you or your loved ones. In this way you are prepared and have the best “life insurance” policy available. There is no substitute for personal knowledge.

Many people complain to me that organic foods are expensive. I think getting sick, going to the Medico for expensive tests, and ignorance are way more costly. So, I recommend spending your money on education, organic food, cleansing and exercising instead of health and life insurance. This allows you to be in a position of responsibility and full cause over your life. It is the best investment you can make toward living a long, healthy and productive life. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones.

In health and love,

Ian “Doc” Shillington N.D.

The Dwindling Spiral of Disease

I've been meaning to write this article for a number of months now, and JC's post has inspired me to do it NOW. Bear with me, as this is all "off the cuff" and straight out of the ole brain with no editing for subtlety and finesse. These are cold hard facts straight from the hip. This article is not for you hard core herbalists, nutritionists, and Naturopaths as I'm not into preaching to the choir ;o) This is for those of you who have come here looking for some answers. In a few places, I'll be blowing my own horn (LOL), and I hope you don't mind, as I worked hard for these answers.

First, let's take a look at a few questions here which are very appropriate.

Why is it that, as time goes by our medications from the Medico (the Medical Doctor, which emphatically includes Psychiatrists and Psychologists) get stronger and more potent? Why is it that, as time goes by we seem to get sicker and sicker even though we are going to the Medico regularly and in some cases, even more frequently? Why is it that, as time goes by our diseases seem to get more serious even though we are taking more medications than ever before? Why is it that, when we get a headache, and the Medico recommends an aspirin (or something stronger), the headache then goes away??? And does this mean that our body has an aspirin deficiency??? ;o) Why in the hell do we get sick in the first place??? Is being sick and diseased NORMAL??? Is getting sick the NORMAL condition of human life??? Why in hell do I always feel so bad???????????????????

Wellllllllll, you know, ain't it funny that if you ask the right questions, the right way, the answers will sometimes jump out at you and slap you aside the head with the impact of a 2 by 4. Many times it's just a matter of asking the RIGHT question(s) :o)

Do you see where we're heading here?

Now, I'm going to give you some basic answers here which I can empirically prove beyond any shadow of a doubt, but to place those proofs in a short article like this one would be impossible with the time and space allowed, so for the moment you're just going to have to take my word for the veracity of these answers. Of course you're always welcome to do your own research to find out for yourself whether I lie or tell the truth, and I do encourage this ;o)

#1. THE MENTAL BASIC COMMON DENOMINATOR OF ALL DISEASE IS STRESS!!! The word "Stress" can be used synonymously with the word "Suppression". There are NO exceptions to this. Wherever you find disease, you will find "Stress" as a major factor prior to the acquisition of the disease 100% of the time.

#2. THE PHYSICAL BASIC COMMON DENOMINATOR OF ALL DISEASE IS STOPPAGE!!! For many years, I'd bought and accepted the answer from Doc Schulze who got it from Doc Chrisopher that this common denominator was "Blockage". As I started my journey into the realm of health, this seemed to be true, but in my own research I kept running into circumstances where there was NO "Blockage", and yet a condition of disease existed. It baffled me for a while until I realized that "Blockage" was the wrong answer and that I had to research further. Why? Because "Blockage" did not answer the problem of Diabetes and the non functioning Islets of Langerhans that goes with that condition. It did not solve the problem of exhausted adrenal glands in the (20 pots of coffee a day) patient, as there was NO "Blockage" to be removed. I had to throw out this stable datum and develop another one which was workable 100% of the time. After much research, I finally managed to fine-tune this and came up with "Stoppage" as the final answer. Wherever you find "Blockage", you'll always find "Stoppage" to a greater or lesser degree. But, you don't always find "Blockage" where there is a "Stoppage". Sometimes a condition exists whereby a gland or organ has simply ceased to function. This is "Stoppage". The biggest question I had to ask and prove was, "Did this stable datum I had discovered, lead to a resolution of ALL disease?". The answer so far is, "YES!". I haven't found an exception to date, and believe me, I've looked. One time only, I thought I'd found an exception in a patient until I realized that, "ALL DISEASE IS CURABLE! BUT NOT ALL PATIENTS ARE! THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE DETERMINED TO BE VICTIMS AND WHO ARE ACTUALLY TRYING TO SUCCUMB!". I could go on for reams and reams with this to show you the proofs, but as I said earlier, space and time will simply not allow it here with this post. I also challenge anyone to disprove the above and I mean this seriously. I've challenged it myself many times just to ensure that it is workable. And workability has always been my guideline. Does a therapy, treatment, or remedy work? That is the proof!

Where does this all fit into the original questions above?

Wellllll, it answers the question "WHY?", and it leads to a resolution of all of the above, but let's look further into this nefarious dwindling spiral of disease.

When you were 2 yrs of age, some family member, family "friend", or neighborhood bully decided to add a little stress to your life (Mom or Dad might not have thought it was stress, but you certainly did), and shortly thereafter you got sick and came down with your first serious cold and fever (a major detox by the way). Now if you were lucky, Mom only freaked out enough to give you a Children's Aspirin, or a Children's Tylenol and you came through it kinda OK. If you weren't quite so lucky, Mom really freaked and took you to the Medico who gave you something stronger (and worse), and usually gave you an antibiotic to boot. Now the apparency is that the symptoms went away and that you were 'cured'. What actually happened was that the symptoms were suppressed (looks like they went away), but that damage was done to your liver and other vital organs which were debilitated by the drugs the Medico gave you. There was a greater threat to your vital organs and the cold (the body's detox) was stopped in order to handle the greater threat of the Medico drugs to the vital organs. Don't believe me? The next time you get a sliver, or a bruise from a bang, or even a cold, hit yourself hard on the big toe with a sledge hammer. I guarantee you, that you'll forget all about the sliver, the bruise and yes even the cold, as your body now has a much more serious situation to handle. Aspirin causes bleeding in the stomach which is a bigger threat to the body than a headache (usually brought about by stoppage in the bowel by the way). The next time you're not feeling too well, go and deliberately pick a fight with your spouse and watch how soon you forget about how bad you're feeling. Of course you may feel even worse tomorrow having created a bad effect on your loved one. But you get the point. You don't need a pristine laboratory with stainless steel test tubes to bear this out. At little testing, observation of life (even remembering) on your own part will verify this.

OK, now you're 6 yrs old, and you've had a dozen or two colds and fevers, and even a couple of flus and everytime you got them, Momma gave you something from the doctor to handle them which further suppressed your body's organs, glands, and immune system. And then one day you really get sick, I mean really sick (temperature of 106, etc. etc.). Momma of course freaks (by the way, this is probably what her mother did which can lead to an "apparency" of "genetic" diseases) and takes you to the family Medico (one more time) and this time the doctor orders a large round of expensive "tests" to discover you have 'allergies' (and if you're really unlucky - ADD or ADHD as well). Now the "nice" doctor prescribes and puts you on another and even stronger medication (drug) to do what??? - You got it. Suppress the symtoms. Is there a 'cure' in sight? Absolutely not. Don't even dare ask. Now as the years go by, you seem to be just one of those poor souls (victim) who seems to be allergic to just about everything and your dosage of medications (and its strengths) seems to go up at the rate of about once a year.

Now your 10 to 15 yrs old, and due to the crime rate in your school (Remember Stress?), you have to stay home for a week because you're really sick one more time and are having lots of trouble breathing. Momma (she's gray by now), takes you to a different Medico (she knows instinctively that something is wrong but can't target it) to have a new battery of tests done to discover what??? Her baby has asthma. Boy, now we're on a whole new set of meds and drugs and some of these are pretty darn strong and the medicine chest is almost so full you couldn't get another thing into it. I mean, things fall out of it when you open the door. Get the picture?

Well time continues to go on (it ususally does ;o) and the meds get stronger, the doses get bigger and so on until we hit the ripe old age of 25 and what-d-ya-know? We're concerned about that little lump in the breast, and we go to the Medico one more time to discover we have the Big "C" - Cancer. Now you've hit the big one. I mean, NO and I mean NO medication / treatment gets as intense as Chemo Therapy and Radiation. Ask a person who's had these. They'll tell you they feel like they've been run over by a train. The other route you could follow if you don't get cancer is the big "H" - Heart Disease. And if you think healing by herbs is radical, you should see an open heart operation. Now that's radical, and don't be surprised if you end up with a baboon heart or something of the sort.

Now you're into operations and all other kinds of 'medical treatment' until you die at the ripe old age of 39 or so.

Some of you may think I'm exaggerating here. I'm not. Talk to a cancer patient. Talk to a heart patient. They'll tell you. There may be some discrepencies in the ages above and some people won't die from cancer till they're 40, 50 or 60. A child might not get that first cold until the age of 3 and your asthma victim might not really develop a serious case until he's 25 or so. The point I'm trying to make here is that, there is a dwindling spiral of disease and the Medical Doctor is into nothing but - DISEASE MANAGEMENT. That's all! Nothing else! And don't you dare ask how much money the Medico has made through this whole process. I'll tell you, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS!!!! Not just from you and your insurance, but also as kickbacks (rewards, incentives, whatever you want to call them) from the big pharmaceutical companies as well.

Now, where do you think a lot of this "Stress" is coming from? You got it. From the Medicos themselves who are at the very least placing a heavy "stress" on the body by the use of all these drugs (Oh yes, you can be very easily mentally stressed by drugs). Do you want to see a Medico go berserk? Just tell him you want to get a second opinion from an alternative practitioner. Oooooooooh, I know not all of them are "Bad", and many of them are just miseducated and ignorant, but the majority are in it for only one thing = THE BUCK! And believe me, they create their patients right from the cradle.

I'm going to give you a few new concepts here.

GOOD VITAL HEALTH IS 'NORMAL'! Think about it. Doesn't this instinctively make sense to you?

THE BODY CAN ACTUALLY HEAL ITSELF! IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO SO! Hey! You break a leg and when the Medico puts it into a cast (one of the few things he's good at), the bones grow back together again don't they? (and not at the direction of the doctor either) Then what makes you think that the body can't heal all the other things that is wrong with it?

DISEASE IS NOT NORMAL! YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR IT AND EARN IT! You may or may not believe me here. But you did everything that was necessary to earn your disease. Oh, you had help from others, no doubt about that, but you were the one who made the decision to keep doing the same old bad habits. You were the one who as an adult continued going to the Medico for your monthly dose of drugs.

Where does the buck stop??? Well, actually the buck stops with the Medical Doctor, but the responsibility is ultimately yours.

Some people tell me they are looking for a good doctor. I tell people that I'm looking for good patients.

And what is my definition of a good patient? Someone who realizes that they are fully responsible for the condition they are in - good or bad. They realize that they are the "Causative" factor in their own lives and refuse to be victims. They know that their 'healing' is their own responsibility. Only they can effect their own 'CURE'.

The original definition of "Doctor" meant "Teacher" and that's what I'm all about. I can supply the tools and the knowledge for you to achieve a marvelous healing. But it is you who'll avail yourself of this knowledge and then take the first step to your own recovery and reverse this dwindling spiral of disease. And there'll be no whining or snivelling while you're doing it.

You can do it if you truly want to. You really can.

I believe in you.

Won't you?

VITAMIN C
(Top Secret!!!!)

OK, OK, OK!!! So you just found out that almost all of the Vitamin Boys are making their Vitamin-C from Genetically Engineered Corn. What you are about to read, the giant pharmaceutical companies do not want you to see. Even the "Health Food Stores" do not want you to know this all important data.

What! You exclaim. How am I supposed to get enough Vitamin C into my family if I don't buy supplements???

Answer: You make your own!

This secret, even the Health Food Stores don't want you know, but you can make your very own Vitamin C supplement that is 10 times better than anything you could buy in a store at NO EXTRA COST TO YOU! YES! IT'S FREE!!!

Does it have a 1,000 Mg of Vitamin C per dosage? NOPE! Does it have the US RDA amount per dosage? No way Jose! Has it been approved by the FDA? Absolutely Not! Well - what does it have then Doc???

It has live enzymes that allow the Vitamin C to be 100% assimilated into your body. It has its own natural source of Rutin, Hesperidin, and Bioflavonoids. It's easily acquired and easy to make and even tastes great!!!

C'mon Doc! Knock off the suspense and tell one and all what this miracle source is!
------------------------------
It's ORANGE PEELS!!!

That's right. Just plain ordinary orange peels left over from the ORGANIC Oranges you usually buy at the store. Save your peels after you eat the inside of the fruit and cut them into thin strips. Place on muslin or cheese cloth on your dining room table and let dry at room temperature for a couple of days until dry and crisp. Break up into smaller pieces and mix with your favorite tea (makes the tea taste awesome, but this approach will destroy the enzymes because of the heat). Better yet, place the peel strips into your coffee grinder and grind into a powder (won't hurt the enzymes) and use to mix with your early morning drink. One rounded teaspoon will supply you with more organic Vitamin-C Complex, Rutin, Hesperidin, & Bioflavonoids than your body needs for the day regardless of your size. A rounded teaspoon of fresh homemade orange peel powder mixed in your blender with some fresh organic apple juice tastes awesome. Get even more creative and add more of your favorite fruit to the mixture.

Yours in Health and Love,

The Myth and The Mytsery

The Myth and The Mystery
(ADD and ADHD)

Definition: ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder, a mental disorder that is a combination of behaviors in children such as; can’t follow directions; can’t sit still; speaking in class out of turn; cannot or lacks focus; gets angry or confused, etc. etc.

Definition: ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) a mental disorder that is a combination of behaviors similar to the ones above with “hyperactivity” being present.

Do you know that both ADD and ADHD were not “discovered” but were “voted” into existence by a committee of the American Psychiatric Association?

Furthermore, it is acknowledged that the “Causes” are unknown and yet both of these “conditions” were voted in as being chemical imbalances in the brain without one shred of scientific evidence. Gene R. Haislip, Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug Enforcement Administration was quoted as saying, “This agency has not made a determination of whether ADHD is a disease or a syndrome… We are also unaware that ADHD has been validated as a biologic/organic syndrome or disease”. With ADD or ADHD, there are NO brain scans, NO blood tests, NO saliva or urine samples taken, and the entire diagnosis is based on the OPINION of health professionals who much of the time render this judgment on the speculated opinion of school teachers mislead by Psychiatry, and who are not trained in the field of physical health or its diagnosis.

Today over 6 MILLION American children are being labeled as ADD or ADHD, and are being forced or intimidated into taking brain damaging, psychiatric drugs such as Ritalin®, Concerta®, Adderall®, etc, for these supposed diseases.

This is beyond criminal. It is completely evil and is the greatest hoax of the 20th century while being its most destructive. For this massive drugging of our youth has the potential of totally destroying our future American society, and I compare this outrageous act to the holocaust in Germany in the 1930’s and 40’s.

Often, I’m told by others, that the symptoms mentioned in these so called “diseases” are so very real and that this is why they’ve believed the Psychs and agreed with the diagnosis in the first place. I then get asked, “Well – if these diseases are not real and they are hoaxes, what is “causing” these symptoms?” Well – I’m going to answer that one for you too, and I don’t really think you’re going to be that surprised by the explanation once you find out what it is.

So, what is this all-encompassing Cause???

Malnutrition! That’s it! That’s all of it!

What do I mean by malnutrition? Well – “mal” means “bad”, so we’re talking about “bad” nutrition here and during the last 30 years the quality of food throughout the World especially in the US has gone dramatically down. If you believe your taste buds here, you probably won’t believe me, but what I’m about to reveal to you are cold hard facts.

There are 3 major problem areas in our food chain that directly contribute to the “cause” of the symptoms found in these two bogus, psychiatric diseases.

#1. All meats and meat products: For the last 30+ years, the amount of steroids, hormones, and antibiotics used in these products has grown yearly at an alarming rate. There is no meat source that has not been affected by these practices. It is not just the beef and pork industries that are the culprits here, the commercial dairy, chicken and farm raised fish industries are just as bad, if not worse and the more insidious due to their lower profile. All commercial milk, cheeses, and eggs are loaded full of these hormones, steroids, and antibiotics.

This is the major cause behind our children going through puberty at 7, 8, and 9 years of age instead of the usual 12 through 15. It’s no wonder our children are demonstrating these symptoms when puberty is kicking in so early. These symptoms are very real, but the ADD & ADHD labels are an evil con job.

The Solution here is to eat ONLY, CERTIFIED ORGANIC MEAT PRODUCTS AND BYPRODUCTS.

#2. Sugar: All processed white and brown sugars are deadly. They are a “slow” poison. There is no nutritional value to sugar whatsoever.

Sugar creates: a.) a false energy boost that burns the individual out faster. b.) stress to the Pancreas that will eventually bring about Diabetes. c.) anxiety. d.) HYPERACTIVITY! e.) grief. f.) pimples. g.) boils. h.) and lastly, a lowered or non-existent immune system that can allow all kinds of diseases to strike, such as colds, pneumonias, and flus to name a few.

The solution for sugar if one has to satisfy a sweet tooth is to eat only ORGANIC RAW HONEY, ORGANIC MAPLE SYRUP, AND ORGANIC STEVIA PRODUCTS.

An awesome book to read on the subject that goes into even greater detail is: Sugar Blues by William F. Dufty. This book is a “must” read.

#3. And lastly in the food chain problem area is the little known subject of Enzyme Inhibitors. I’ve written a comprehensive article on this topic, and I strongly recommend you read it for a full understanding of this very important issue.

In a nutshell, Enzyme Inhibitors are found in all grains, seeds, nuts, and most beans, and these biochemical agents can slow down and even stop many of your body’s natural functions.

Again the solution is simple. Eat only those grains, seeds, nuts and beans that have been soaked in water for at least 12 hours. Soaking gets rid of Enzyme Inhibitors. Buy only breads that have been made from sprouted grains.

Don’t believe that the Psychs and the Medical Doctors are simply ignorant about these solutions. They are very well aware of them. Criminally so!

I hope this information helps you and your family. It was written to save the lives of your children, and to ensure their future survival.

Much love,

Doc
