Once you listen you will never be the same. We absolutely must have change if we are to survive as a society and culture. Our kids deserve so much more that what we have now.
This looks like a possible chink in the conventional wisdom armour⌠but I am not optimistic. There are too many powerful people with too much to lose.
For me, there was nothing in the RFK speech and very little in the Tucker interview that I wasnât already aware of. I have been a donor to RFKâs CHDF for years.
But thereâs âSins of Commissionâ and âSins of Omissionâ. Meaning that everyone you know is walking around with most all the known knowledge in the universe right in the palm of their hand. Does the public not have any responsibility to educate themselves?
I have been studying this corruption ever since I started eating a carnivore lifestyle. What I have discovered is just how corrupt the Big Food, Big Pharma and Big Medicine industries are and just how deep their pockets are to grease the political rails.
As the saying goes âThe most profitable thing is an unhealthy childâ.
I was reading another forum, one guy said âjust do what the doctors tell you, do you think you know better than they do?â Well yes, in many cases we do know better, but we must also understand that their look of exasperation when we try to explain something may well come from the fact that the employers wonât permit him to break regulations, insurance companies play a major role in this.
I am a Dr., retired in 2006. In my day we could mostly say and do what we thought bestâŚthe problem was we never learned any of this nutrition stuff. We were symptom based and pharmaceutical oriented not health based.
I have know the real facts for a few years now. Truly it seems almost hopeless however we are in the middle of an election. Kamala will never approach this topic as she is part of a corrupt machine. who knows about TrumpâŚhowever RFK has aligned with him and seems to think there is at least a little hope with Trump to ânourish the children properlyâ. and take down the agencies. Vivek also speaks to taking down bureaucratic agencies so at least there is a little bit of hope. I know the CDC and NIH donât make nutrition policy however they do fund the so called research with Pharma and Food co. money and we saw how corrupt they were during COVID. Even if you hate Trump at least he offers a little bit of hope on this topic.
OK, I get we are walking a very thin line here. Iâm hoping to defend our politicians here, I donât think they have a full picture, they are not bright enough.
The puppet masters might know more ⌠even them perhaps not.
Iâve wondered in the past, âWhat do our politiacians eatâ?
I thought anwser might be revealing. My guess is our leaders are on the same SAD diet as everyone else ⌠apart from us of course.
Our politicians want to obtain and then retain their positions. Period, full stop. They find a niche of people in basic agreement with each other to make their constituency. Hopefully they are also in basic agreement with that group. Not always.
I donât think most of our âleadersâ actually want to lead, they just want to occupy the sweet spot of approval. They may or may not be stupid, but they are almost never zealots for a cause.
I maintain distance, and I donât expect Big, whether itâs corporate or government, to do much for me. Under the radar, outside the box, looking for the tidbits of innovation and truth, watching the show, thatâs me.
Iâll bet that sheeple got the jab and wears a mask while driving alone in his car.
I would respond to him by saying Absolutely I know better than my doctor.
I have been studying nutrition for 480 days now. Every day. That is a whole lot longer than my doctor and probably most of the doctors out there. Then on top of that, I can speak from my own personal experiences in nutrition and whatâs done for me and that beats is lack of knowledge any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
If that were only true. The CDC has been butting into nutrition for years, and the NIH studies are literally the thing driving docâs to make all these decisions, especially establishing USDA guidelines. Dispute a Doc, itâs NIHâs website that youâll be fought back. Theyâre both vehicles to screw with our Nutrition. Everybody wants their piece.
I saw someone make a good point the other day and it applies to my industry as well as medical.
Without false humility, I work at a rarefied level in computer tech. Iâve also taught classes and I found it to be a rare class where I didnât learn something within my area of expertise from at least one of my students. Even in the lower level classes.
The point that was made was that, with just a few hours of study, you can become more knowledgeable than most experts in a very small area of the expertsâ field. This doesnât make you an expert yourself - nor does it mean that the pros are not experts. Itâs just that, for any reasonably complicated field, no one can know everything down to the last detail.
And the human body is way more complicated than any computer system.
So, yeah, âI researched it on the internet,â is a valid path to knowing better than the expert in one, small area.
Thank you for pointing this out. Most medical schools donât even have nutrition classes. They are set up to address symptoms, diseases, acute injuries rather than prevention. People tend to expect the doctor to have all the answers, but judging from the fact that heart disease is the number one killer, it is apparent that they donât. Excuse me for impugning your profession, but most do have big egos, and donât want to admit they donât know. I have learned more in four years of research than I believe just about all doctors know about nutrition. There are those like yourself, who have learned from being in the profession what it lacks, and many have gone on to teach themselves and others⌠fortunately. I believe this newer functional field of medicine is at least trying to address the issues in a real way, but most are still stuck in the fat phobic years. Itâs really sad.
The whole system is so embedded now, that I believe only a mass change forced by the public through spending habits will have any significant effect. As Michelle Obama found out any attempt to make significat change meets with stiff resistance from some group with monetary interest. The lobbyists come out, and typically any suggested change is roundly defeated. This is generally irrespective of any politcal affiliation. Itâs like pulling teeth to get change through Washington, thus we continue down the path. But, if the change comes from the people and their spending habits, it will simply force things to change. But the people are addicted to their SAD more than ever. The only way to change that is through education and example. Really good nutritional science is just too expensive.
