Re: Tag-Team Fascism
I am not necessarily defending moreless here against your protests, but your post struck a cord with me and I hope to open your mind...
My great grandmothers did not need more than a few years education to raise strong healthy children on their farms without so much as one doctor visit in spite of some life threatening illnesses, injuries and all home births.
Science and education are the primary reason we have the MANY problems we do today (this statement from a college
Science double major). If you could point a finger towards any one reason for our woes it would be education as it now existists.
You have a brain, use it...
If you will take the time to study science, the scientific method, the history (for that matter history period - not the history taught in schools, written by the "victors") of modern medicine, agriculture, etc. and the "scientific" arguments for or against something you will almost always find a very many holes in any scientific "proof". In addition, you will find it is ALL about the money, without concern for humans, animals, the earth etc. Most (all?) scientific testing methods are seriously flawed as they do NOT as a rule consider synergistic affects. I spent a year in a genetics lab and bio-statistical analysis; not one study was found to be without flaw. Of course we could always write a paper to "suggest" what any one study may have indicated so as to turn a profit for our troubles.
Only recently have some sciences started to study synergistic effects and the results are alarming, such as the combination of
Mono-Sodium-Glutamat (Natrium Glutamat) and
Aspartame being many more times neurotoxic and carcinogenic than either one alone leading to all sorts of mental illnesses. All tests for FDA approval -if you want to call them that- were/are done on a single product without concern for, or regard to, possible synergistic effects. This, and we have not begun to address that the test subjects, usually animals, are not fed their natural diets... they are usually fed some kind of feed made from
Genetically-Modified-Organisms soy, corn etc.
Individual practitioners do not give alternative health a bad name so much as the individuals who would make a buck hawking useless products to a desperate and sick population that now questions the ability of conventional medicine to "cure", AND a public media that is clearly in the government's and big business's back pockets reporting only what they are TOLD to report, which is FAR FROM THE TRUTH.
Many individuals (including my decedents) and civilizations throughout history, have found success in treating illnesses of all kinds with food, herbs and earth, whether they be "educated" or not, how else would man have survived over the ages?
If you are educated, as I am, these things may be hard to swallow, but true, and food for thought none the less.
Cheers to thought!
