The Death of Modern Medicine

The state of healthcare in America has become nothing short of abysmal. Although the dangers of certain diagnostic and treatment procedures have become known to at least some of those living in our country, many are uninformed and therefore rely strictly upon the advice of their physicians. It would be an entirely different story if these individuals would perhaps take the time to do some basic research. However, this typically does not happen, and patients fall prey to an industry that, in the interest of becoming more profitable, will oftentimes peddle procedures that are unnecessary or even ill-advised. However, this article is not about medical diagnostic or treatment protocols. It is about a healthcare industry that has run amok, focusing on the bottom line more than on the best interests of its patients.

Many of today’s big name healthcare organizations pride themselves on the quality of care they purportedly deliver. Yet, as many quickly discover, this cannot be farther from reality. When I was a child, my family doctor spent considerable time truly endeavoring to understand my needs and those of my siblings. Patients could call his office phone anytime and he would answer it himself. He would make house calls and even attend special family events. He would not waste a moment getting test results to us so that we could stay informed. However, today’s medical model is as far from this type of care as the earth is from Neptune. Patients can wait for months just to get in to see a doctor, and oftentimes, after a lengthy wait, may be “fortunate enough” to wind up seeing a nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant instead. Diagnostic procedures are often severely delayed, partly due to insurance companies dragging their feet, but also because of inefficient healthcare administration and overburdened resources. This is only exacerbated by an oftentimes inordinate wait to receive test results. Lengthy medical review protocols, while deemed perfectly acceptable within the industry, are impractical and woefully inadequate for delivering reasonable and timely patient care. This mindset frequently leads to a failure in identifying critical health care needs and acting upon them. It is difficult nowadays for patients to reach their doctor’s office staff, much less to speak directly with their doctor. Connecting with a live person by phone, which may not even be possible in some cases, requires navigating through a veritable gauntlet of voice prompts and spending an enormous amount of time on hold. Many medical organizations do not offer alternative electronic means by which to send a message directly to a doctor or even to his or her staff, for those who do not have time to wait on hold. In many cases, they only reach an overseas operator ill-trained in the English language. Thus, physicians and office staff are completely insulated from direct patient communication by telephone, email, or messaging for the purpose of sustaining an inordinately large patient load while maximizing expediency and profitability for the organization. This creates an impenetrable wall - a gauntlet - between the patient and his or her physician. Patients wind up suffering the consequences every time, with little to no responsibility on the part of their healthcare provider.

The reason for this paradigm shift in healthcare is due to what I call “assembly-line medicine.” It is a phenomenon. It is a result of patient loads that are unreasonably large, making it virtually impossible for a doctor to learn enough about the unique aspects of any patient’s medical profile to appropriately meet their individual healthcare needs. There is simply not enough time to spend with a patient to accomplish this. It is the bane of modern-day conventional medicine. Patients are lined up like widgets, waiting for basic needs that frequently never arrives. In short, this is a far cry from what the practice of medicine looked like just a few decades ago. And this is considered by the industry to be quality patient care? Really? In virtually every case, it amounts to nothing more than marketing hype. The mercenary nature of today’s healthcare system leads to misdiagnoses, misunderstandings, and sometimes even to death.

It is high time for people to assume responsibility for their own healthcare. Prevention is the key. Eating a healthy diet, exercising, getting fresh air and sunshine, among other basic health principles, will help prevent a visit to the doctor in the first place and will be instrumental in ensuring ongoing good health. If illness does happen, which it will invariably do in this day and age, the use of natural remedies is the best solution to staying out of the clutches of Big Pharma and avoiding the sometimes deadly side effects associated with pharmaceutical drugs. There are alternatives to conventional healthcare. Perhaps if the masses were to tell their chosen healthcare providers that “enough is enough” and stop patronizing their practices and hospitals, there would be an impetus for the industry to make the kind of changes that would move modern medicine back toward the model of bygone days, rather than into the proverbial coffin where it is surely headed today.

Plastic for Dinner, Anyone?

A new concern about our food and drinking water is being raised by the scientific community throughout the world. It is about microplastics – small particles of plastic that are being found in most of the foods on the grocery store shelves and in our refrigerators. These particles range in size from five millimeters down to one micrometer (one millionth of a meter). Even worse, nanoplastics, which are far smaller (less than one micrometer) are being discovered by the millions in bottled water. It is an environmental and physiological nightmare. Obviously, these tiny particles of plastic accumulate in the environment and, of course, in the human body. Nanoplastics, which are unfortunately the more prevalent, are also the most dangerous because of their size. They are so tiny that they can find their way into the smallest blood vessels, pe*****te our organ systems, and even be misidentified as a component of our cells. Naturally, this cannot happen without health consequences. Some of these can be dire. These plastic particles are being found in arterial plaque. This results in an increased likelihood of heart attack or stroke. Plastic manufacturers are downplaying the risk of microplastics, but what would anyone expect them to do? If this epiphany from the study of nanoplastics and disease is proven out, it will put a serious damper on the plastic industry. So, the real question is, what can we do to avoid the pitfalls of contamination with plastic particles in our food and water? For one thing, this may be the best argument yet for growing our own food and for drinking well water in non-plastic containers. Furthermore, it would be wise to avoid all use of plastic food containers (including those used in bottled waters), in favor of glass or stainless steel. This may not be the most convenient solution, but it is the only reasonable option for avoiding plastic in your body and the diseases it may likely cause.

Sugar Madness --
Whether you choose to accept it or not, regular consumption of sugar is an addiction that poses great risk to your health and well-being. Eating sugar, or the products that contain it, releases dopamine – a neurotransmitter that creates the “high” associated with virtually all addictive behavior. And, as with any addictive process, this is not without consequences. Some of them are dire – like lowered immunity leading to the risk of infection or the development and proliferation of cancers. Children and the elderly are particularly vulnerable. There are countless mainstream studies linking sugar to disease, a phenomenon that is particularly important to understand at a time when illnesses like Covid are prevalent and the rate of cancer in the population is going through the roof.

A number of years ago, Doris Rapp, M.D., a pediatrician and pioneer in the field of environmental medicine, studied the effects of sugar on behavior in children. Using a one-way mirror, she filmed a group of children as they consumed pure table sugar. A dish of sugar cubes was placed in front of one boy – a seemingly model child. He was told that he could eat as much of it as he liked. Time-lapse video subsequently depicted a transition from his calm and well-behaved demeanor to an agitated and uncontrolled state that included yelling and screaming, temper tantrums, and hurling objects around the room. The transition was startling. It was like a plunge into sheer madness.

A news article published by NPR in 2016 entitled “50 Years Ago, Sugar Industry Quietly Paid Scientists to Point Blame at Fat,” still available online, aptly recounts the efforts made by the sugar industry to point consumers away from sugar as a cause of disease and to blame fats instead. The information in the article originated from a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). The diversion by the sugar industry was very effective. It led to the proliferation of low-fat or no-fat products and resulted in an American obsession. It became in vogue to avoid saturated fats. This permitted food manufacturers to continue adding sugars and sugar analogues to their products, particularly high fructose corn syrup. In 2003, a major report by ABC News with Peter Jennings entitled, “How to Get Fat Without Really Trying,” revealed the obesity epidemic stemming from high fructose, but the trouble with sugar still remained obscured and most Americans continued to chow down voluminous amounts of sugar and sugar-laden products directly feeding into the chronic disease epidemic we are witnessing today. According to statistics, the average American consumes more than 170 pounds of refined sugar a year!

Food manufacturers are well aware of the addictive nature and the dangers of added sugar. However, they are out to make a profit – not to ensure your health and well-being. In a sense, they have become drug pushers. As proof of this fact, you can virtually scour your local supermarket shelves from one end of the store to the other and find few if any products that do not contain some form of added sugar. Even the few products that boast “no added sugar” contain a substantial amount of sugar, albeit in another form. It may be different from processed granular sugar, but it is still sugar. This phenomenon is a veritable disease process in itself, and a rather frustrating one at that. It ensures that people will get their fix no matter what they eat, and the chronic disease epidemic will continue to grow off the charts. With every manifestation of illness, from respiratory diseases like colds, flu, and Covid, to the cancers that are now taking the lives of hundreds of thousands every year, the results of the sugar epidemic continue to rage on.

So, are you going to take the information presented here to heart and begin withdrawing from the sugars that have been undermining your health, or are you going to continue to follow the Pied Piper of Sugardom over the proverbial cliff? The ball, as always, is in your court.

The Disease the Came in Under the Radar --
It is becoming more apparent every day that Covid-19 and SARS-CoV-2 have taken an enormous toll on our lives. The illness that resulted from the virus was bad enough to begin with, not just in terms of physical health, but also because of the impact it has had on our society as a whole. The mitigation efforts alone resulted in social and economic repercussions that we still face today. But there is an even more nightmarish consequence that, until recently, remained under the radar and out of the consciousness of most Americans. Now, we have a new menace to face, and that is Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC), or what many have come to know as Long Covid.

Over the past two years, reports have surfaced on the nature of Long Covid. Mainstream sources have reported some of the key reasons for the symptomatology associated with Long Covid, particularly the effects of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein on physiology. The reports have included an apparent interference with the metabolism of certain key amino acids, as well as the replication of various latent viruses associated with other diseases and syndromes – the symptoms of which, oddly enough, line up with those of Long Covid. Most of us have latent viruses in our bodies that will only “reactivate” under certain conditions. Herpes simplex, a virus that causes cold sores, is one of many examples. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is another example. It has been linked to cervical cancer. However, the most distressing information that has surfaced about Long Covid is now coming to the forefront. It involves an anomaly that can be referred to as microthrombosis, or the formation of very tiny blood clots that circulate through the bloodstream and lodge in organs such as the heart, brain, liver, and kidneys. These clots are so small that they are generally not visible to most imaging modalities. Thus, they go undetected and result in a whole array of symptoms, some of which can be severe and potentially even fatal.

Of greatest concern is the link between infection with Covid-19 as well as inoculation with the vaccine and their potential neurological manifestations. In other words, it does not matter whether you have had Covid-19 or received the vaccine – both are proving to be a factor in the development of neurodegenerative disorders and even long-term neurological damage. These are most likely due to microclots, but there are other potential causes as well including amino acid deficiencies and latent virus reactivations previously mentioned. Articles in journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine, as well as reports published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) confirm findings of rapidly progressing dementia following Covid-19. The contribution of this phenomenon to the onset of Alzheimer’s is still being studied.

There is hope, however. The first step is in determining the cause of lingering symptoms following a bout with Covid-19. Lab tests can be performed to identify amino acid deficiencies. There are also PCR and other DNA-based tests that can help identify active viral infections resulting from potentially reactivated latent viruses. And, most importantly, measures can be employed to minimize the formation of microclots as well as the elimination of existing clots. According to some published studies, this would include the use of proteolytic enzymes such as nattokinase and serrapeptase. These and other natural supplements can be added to the diet as a preventive or therapeutic treatment regimen. It is important, however, to consult with a physician or naturopath before engaging in any program involving nutraceuticals or even dietary changes, for that matter.

The most important measures you can take to avoid an adverse outcome of Covid-19 exposure or the vaccine, are to eat a healthy diet, get regular exercise, and drink lots of water. Spend time outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine. Get adequate rest. Take time to pray. At the very least, diligently following these simple rules will help to ensure that you do not wind up with disease that may be difficult to reverse once it happens.

Have the Questions about the Hawaii Fire Been Brushed Aside?

It seems that many have already forgotten about the horrific fire in Hawaii that decimated the lives of thousands of Maui residents. Other current events made prominent by the media have all but quashed efforts to keep the story alive, derailing the urgency for a proper investigation to get to the bottom of some very disturbing questions. In an effort to present a side of the story that few have heard before, or perhaps wanted to hear, Arnie Suntag appeared on Counter Narrative with Kristi Leigh, former FOX News anchor, to discuss the not-so-well-known history of Hawaii and how it factored into the fire that all but destroyed one of the most treasured places on earth.

Do You Feel the Hum? The Sound That’s Keeping You Awake at Night

During the 1990s, Taos, New Mexico made the news when people began complaining about a sound or “hum” that was keeping them awake at night by disturbing their sleep. It became known as “The Taos Hum.” It was a bizarre story. But the people of Taos were not alone. Historical records attest to the fact that there were reports of a similar phenomenon in the British city of Bristol during the 1970s. In the decades that followed, reports of a strange hum keeping people awake at night began to appear all over the globe. Scientists tried every imaginable method to identify the problem. In 2016, French scientists even claimed that the hum was caused by microseismic waves that created a vibrational effect when bouncing off the seabed. But the answer is really a bit more obvious than many in the scientific community would like to admit – especially those in the industries responsible for the obnoxious droning sound. It is a phenomenon known as infrasound. Infrasound is low frequency sound, usually in the 20hz range. It is below the human ear’s ability to hear. So, if you cannot hear it, why would it keep you awake? Sound in the 20hz range produces an effect known as resonance. It is a vibration that travels through solid structures including rock, water, and other conveyances. In other words, the waves can travel from the object producing the infrasound through the ground, oftentimes for miles. While you cannot actually “hear” the sound, it causes a vibrating sensation that you can sense. In fact, you can sense it well enough that it can even cause anxiety or irritation. Devices that produce infrasound can include everything from electric pumps and generators, to ‘boom boxes’ and wind turbines. It is a known fact that the resonance waves produced by boom boxes for example, if loud enough, can actually cause structural damage, not to mention the adverse impact on human physiology. The N***s experimented with infrasound as a weapon of war because it can cause extreme agitation, resulting in confusion and poor decision-making by the enemy. So, if you happen to live near facilities with large electric pumps, generators, or in close proximity to large windfarms, and you are losing sleep at night, you may be the unfortunate victim of infrasound. Earplugs will not help, nor will any other methods of blocking this low frequency sound from entering your ears. The best you can do is to employ “white noise”, that is, music or the sound of ocean waves playing in the background. Otherwise, you may have to consider relocating to a place where infrasound is not prevalent. It Is an unfortunate consequence of industrialization and may eventually be recognized as a key factor in the development of diseases that are impacting many today due to a lack of adequate sleep.

Ah, to Be Young Again! The Fountain of Youth is Right at Your Fingertips.

Most people would love the opportunity to be young again. But rather than dream about ideas that have no practical application in the world today, why not take active measures to slow down the aging process or even reduce its impact? Wouldn’t you relish the idea of being able to do many of the things you once enjoyed without straining to do them? The solution is really not complicated. It begins with following some basic rules of health. Diet and exercise are key to the process. Avoid foods that are known to increase inflammation or those that reduce immune system function. Inflammation results in rapid aging and reduced immune function results in disease. Watch out for those sweets! Items such as sweetened beverages, cookies, cakes, and candy, are extremely high in sugar – one of the key causes of disease and aging. Remove refined carbohydrate foods like white bread, crackers, and white rice from your diet. Shun those fried foods like French fries, fried chicken, and corn dogs. Ditch those unhealthy trans fats and processed meats. Stay away from processed foods altogether. Avoid most of the items that come in a package or can. Consider transitioning to a plant-based diet, since its benefits are unparalleled. And, in addition to a healthful diet, get some exercise. Any exercise. Get off that sofa and move around. Every day. Sure, you’ve no doubt been urged to do these things many times before, but have you seriously tried them? Finally, there are some supplements that might also help slow down the aging process. These include good old Vitamin C, NAC, Coenzyme Q10, Omega 3s, turmeric, and many others. But that being said, don’t waste your money on these items if you are not going to modify your diet and lifestyle. That would be the equivalent of swimming upstream, bailing water out of a boat with a hole in the bottom, or perhaps jumping out of airplane without a parachute. You would be flushing your hard-earned dollars down the….well, you know. Life is too short. It’s time to get serious about staying young, healthy, and vibrant. It’s time to take better care of yourself.

Stop Sitting Around! The Proven Link Between Lack of Exercise and Cancer

It should really be no surprise that exercise reduces the risk of cancer, among many other health concerns. There are numerous vital benefits involved in exercise that include reducing inflammation (a key cause of disease), eliminating toxins from the body, boosting the immune system overall, keeping weight controlled, regulating the body’s endocrine system (hormones), among many other things. The proof: a massive review in 2019 that examined 45 major scientific studies involving millions of people conclusively found that exercise substantially reduced the risk of various cancers including colorectal, breast, bladder, and gastric cancers, among others. When it comes to avoiding cancer, it is all about lifestyle. This includes diet, exercise, sleep, fresh air, sunshine, balance, hydration, and yes, faith. So, the next time the thought crosses your mind about what you can do to avoid serious illness, get on the treadmill, take that vigorous walk, or go to the gym – but do something! Don’t be a couch potato.

The Specter of Losing Your Mind

If there is one disease that worries many of us more than any other, it is Alzheimer’s. This is particularly true for those who have a known family history of the disease. The problem with this devastating neurodegenerative disorder is that, at least for the time being, there is no cure. Anybody who has witnessed a loved one rapidly descend into the depths of despair and listlessness while forgetting who you are, knows exactly how painful this phenomenon can be to themselves as well as to the victim of the disease. It is a nightmare. But, can it be prevented? Many of those who have entertained this question are already familiar with the usual advice – manage blood pressure, blood sugar, body weight, exercise, and a whole slew of other recommendations that are second nature to some and simply anathema to others. But one key item that typically gets glossed over is the Standard American Diet, and this is indeed SAD.

The average American diet typically consists of voluminous amounts of meat and cheese, fats, salt, sugar, and additives straight from a chemical factory. But few recognize, or want to recognize, the enormous impact this has on their health and the risk of developing neurodegenerative disorders, not to mention the chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, heart disease, and cancers that are plaguing America in record numbers. Many will invest time, money, and effort into finding just the right gasoline for their car in order to prevent clogging up its engine, but they have no compunction about imbibing toxic foods that will clog up their arteries. Anyone who has ever studied cardiovascular medicine knows that there is a direct link between many of these foods – especially meat – and atherosclerosis.

Unfortunately, the trend of loading up on meat and fats has just taken a quantum leap with the advent and promotion of today’s keto diet – a contemporary offshoot of the Atkins diet prominent during the 1970s. Now, even some of the so-called health gurus are promoting this diet, particularly for weight loss, when numerous studies and statistical data have proven that a properly balanced plant-based diet is the best way to stay fit and in good health. They fail to mention the more immediate downside of the keto diet, such as the potential for kidney stones, nutritional deficiencies, and chronic hypoglycemia. High protein and high fat diets have never proven to be healthful in the long term for most people. Even if the protein source is primarily fish rather than red meat, the danger is the presence of heavy metals, such as mercury, that have been inarguably linked to Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. Salmon and sardines? Really? Do you honestly believe that there is a source left which has not been contaminated by heavy metals, dioxins, PCBs, or parasites? Keto has some serious flaws. On the other hand, a balanced, organic, non-GMO plant-based diet followed by increasingly larger numbers of people today has gone a long way toward reversing the trend of chronic disease, and for many has even helped in overcoming serious illness.

Ironically, however, even a plant-based diet that is improperly implemented can lead to arterial plaquing that can wind up eventually causing Alzheimer’s, along with the classic chronic diseases. For instance, a ‘vegan’ diet that is high in oxalates can result in calcification of arteries, potentially leading to vascular dementia. Similarly, relying primarily on foods that are high in lectins can do considerable damage to the gastrointestinal tract (leaky gut), the immune system, and ultimately the brain. Plant-based diets need to be carefully planned, taking into account a number of issues indigenous to the individual including allergies, autoimmune conditions, and other physiological factors. To draw an analogy from an earlier comment, not every automobile runs well on regular fuel. Some require premium, while others require diesel. Every person is unique. Your diet needs to be designed specifically with your unique needs in mind.

There is no doubt that by improperly fueling your body, you can very well be setting yourself up for Alzheimer’s, as well as a variety of other very unpleasant diseases including various cancers. The bottom line, as far as diet is concerned, is to carefully consider everything you eat and its relative nutritive value. Most do not want to take the time and effort to do this, so they throw caution to the wind and ultimately wind up facing significant health challenges, particularly in their later years of life. For them, it’s all about living to eat, rather than eating to live.

While diet is paramount in maintaining health, there are a number of other glaring items, including environmental factors, that most have never considered or even want to consider. This includes the voluminous number of endocrine-disrupting and carcinogenic chemicals that most use in their homes. There is still a significant use of Roundup and glyphosate-based herbicides to kill weeds the ‘convenient’ way, rather than engaging in the kind of physical labor that affords us the exercise needed to stay healthy, even though glyphosate has been linked to various forms of lymphoma and leukemia. Then of course there are the heavily scented products that many cannot live without. Fragrances, including those used in personal hygiene, laundry, and other home products, are not regulated by the FDA, so the bevy of toxic chemicals most contain create a home environment that will impair endocrine function and potentially lead to neurodegenerative disorders and cancers.

Add to all of the above the continual daily exposure to radiation from Wi-Fi, smart devices, Bluetooth, and other technological “necessities,” and you have a recipe for disaster. Between the derailing of our endocrine systems and the DNA damage that results from the overuse of various technologies, we are headed toward an almost certain healthcare catastrophe over the next several years. It is conservatively projected that there will be a 40-50 percent increase in the rate of Alzheimer’s disease by 2030 and cancer may soon exceed heart disease, which has been the number one cause of death in America, by a wide margin. Should this concern you? The answer is obvious.

Overcoming the health-usurping challenges presented in this article may seem impossible, but they clearly are not. There are those who are focused on doing exactly that rather than facing a deadly and unnecessary medical diagnosis. It’s a matter of being concerned enough about it to make the sacrifices needed to get your health on track – the right way, which just happens to be Biblical. Don’t be fooled by the clever marketing hype and peer pressure that sends you careening down the road to destruction. Be smart about how you eat and how you live day to day. Remember – it’s a lot easier to prevent disease than it is to overcome it. Act today, before it is too late.
