Health guru launches online disease Mongering Engine that instantly generates hilarious fictitious disease names

The featured cartoon is titled, "Disease Mongers, Inc." and depicts a scene in a company that invents fictitious diseases for a living. See the cartoon at http://www.newstarget.com/021665.html Some of the diseases created by the disease Mongering Engine include Pathological Nervous Anticipation Disorder (PNAD), Hypoactive Disorganized Stress Syndrome (HDSS) and Delusional Antisocial Personality Syndrome (DAPS). To generate more fictitious diseases, visit: www.NewsTarget.com/Disease-Mongering-Engine.asp About the source: NewsTarget.
REPPED: An online tool published today allows users to instantly generate fictitious disease names and descriptions based on terminology commonly used in describing psychiatric or behavioral disorders. The "Disease Mongering Engine" is available at www.NewsTarget.com/Disease-Mongering-Engine.asp and randomly generates diseases, disorders and syndromes that sound real, but aren't. The engine, created by author and natural health guru Mike Adams, is intended as a parody of conventional medicine and the over-diagnosis of Americans with fictitious diseases.
By using an online software engine to generate disease names and descriptions that seem real, Adams hopes to demonstrate that just because a disease name sounds real doesn't mean it is. The disease Mongering Engine can generate more than 73,000 unique disorders, syndromes and dysfunctions. Each one is accompanied by unique description, along with universal instructions for "getting filthy rich" by marketing the fictitious disease and selling FDA-approved pharmaceuticals to treat it.

USDA downplays seriousness of mad cow disease found in Alabama cow

It is a contagious disease and it can only be acquired by eating food that is contaminated with these malformed proteins characteristic of mad cow disease, or CJD in humans (Creutzfeld-Jacobson's disease). This cow, in order for it to have acquired mad cow disease -- whether or not it was ambulatory -- had to be exposed to feed in which these mad cow disease proteins were present. Here is an important question: Does this one cow have its own special meals prepared for it by the owner of the ranch? No, of course not. This cow shares food with all the other cows.

FDA approves pill that stops periods; is womanhood a disease? (opinion)

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

REPPED: Conventional medicine has, for decades, preyed upon the "symptoms of womanhood" and attempted to transform every female activity from childbirth to menstruation into a disease requiring chemical treatment. Today, the FDA approved Lybrel, a daily pill for women that stops periods... forever. The concept behind such a pill is based on the false idea that menstruation is a disease requiring a medical fix. Most sane people would agree that menstruation is, in fact, a natural biological function and not a disease. So why take a pill to stop it?

Incessant disease mongering turns Americans into profit-generating guinea pigs for Big Pharma (opinion)

Even some members of the media fell for the hoax, reporting DSCDAD as a real disease requiring treatment with Havidol. In another parody on YouTube, artists created a fake commercial for, "Motivational Deficiency Disorder" (formerly known as just being plain lazy) and recommended drugs for treatment. Click here to see the video yourself. Back in 2005, I even made up my own list of fictitious diseases, including Obsessive Hosiery Dislocation Disorder (i.e. losing your socks in the laundry).

Medical myths explained: Why health researchers mistakenly think one disease causes another

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

The real answer, as you'll discover here, is that one disease doesn't actually cause another disease; they both just have the same common cause -- a cause which goes unacknowledged or undiscovered by conventional medical science. For example, the reason diabetes is correlated with heart disease is not because one causes the other, it's because there is a common underlying cause for both diseases, and that underlying cause is poor nutrition.

USDA downplays seriousness of mad cow disease found in Alabama cow

The absurd theory of spontaneous mad cow disease The second big deception about all of this is found in the USDA claiming that this disease is somehow isolated to only those few cows that have tested positive following two different mad cow disease tests. The USDA also goes out of its way to emphasize that these cows are "nonambulatory," or non-walking cows. In other words, they are cows that were obviously sick or diseased, and should not be used to produce meat that enters the food supply. This particular cow in Alabama that tested positive is twice described as a nonambulatory cow.

I think this organization and all the other disease organizations out there are really just perpetuating their own existence, and if you are a disease organization, you do that by perpetuating the disease. If you're a cancer association or a diabetes association or an Alzheimer's association and you cure the disease, you're out of work. I've talked about this before. This is why I don't believe any of these organizations really have curing these diseases as their top priorities. I think they have disease management as their top priorities.

The new rules of imperialism: Economic warfare, consumer products and disease exports

There is nothing good that can come of debt spending, intentional disease proliferation (through ignoring disease prevention programs), widespread chemical contamination and corporate dominance over the people and the government. These are the things that will come to destroy the world's nations, probably starting with America. The last days of America as we know it The era of American dominance in the world is nearly over.

Here it is, plain and simple: This disease is endemic in U.S. herds. It is circulating in cows right now and there are almost certainly cows infected with mad cow disease that are being slaughtered and used in the human food supply. I believe that people who eat red meat today are potentially exposing themselves to mad cow disease. America's herds are not entirely safe and mandatory testing of all cows is not being done. In fact, mandatory testing is not even being supported by the USDA.

The concept behind such a pill is based on the false idea that menstruation is a disease requiring a medical fix. Most sane people would agree that menstruation is, in fact, a natural biological function and not a disease. So why take a pill to stop it? If you ask the women taking this pill, it's because their periods are extremely painful or inconvenient. Taking Lybrel to stop the period is a typical Western-mindset approach to all ailments: Mask the symptoms and ignore the cause.

The new rules of imperialism: Economic warfare, consumer products and disease exports

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

America is the world's largest exporter of disease. Through our popular soda products, cigarettes, fast food chains and manufactured foods, we have caused more death and disease around the world than any nation in human history (including Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot). And it all remains perfectly legal. Our chemical companies even manufacture and export pesticide chemicals that have been banned in the United States. Poor agricultural nations openly use those deadly pesticides on their crops, then ship the produce back to the U.S. where consumers buy it at grocery stores.

Medical myths explained: Why health researchers mistakenly think one disease causes another

Understand, the core claim here by conventional medicine is that the symptoms of one disease cause another disease. They say, for example, that high blood sugar from diabetes is a contributing factor for Alzheimer's disease. And thus, the thinking goes, it is crucial to "manage" the symptoms of diabetes (high blood sugar) with drugs in other to prevent Alzheimer's. The logic almost sounds reasonable, but they're actually jumping to the wrong conclusion.

Disease-promoting ingredients in everyday foods and groceries are far more dangerous than terrorists

Sodium nitrite (cancer), refined white flour (diabetes), hydrogenated oils (heart disease), aspartame (nervous system disorders), red meat (colon cancer), excess sodium (hypertension), and the list goes on. The American public is just now waking up to this reality. Study after study now shows the undeniable link between foods and disease. Unfortunately, our own government does not yet have the courage to tell the truth about the links between these food products and chronic disease.

Incessant disease mongering turns Americans into profit-generating guinea pigs for Big Pharma (opinion)

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
I'm not the only one who has come up with hilarious ways to make fun of disease mongering by the drug industry. Justine Cooper created an entire website dedicated to a fictitious disease and a fake drug for treating it. The site, www.Havidol.com, claims to be a patient education site for Dysphoric Social Attention Consumption Deficit Anxiety Disorder, or DSCDAD for short. Not surprisingly, the public bought it, and she has been contacted by hundreds of people wanting to know where they can buy the drug to treat their DSCDAD. (Didn't they get the drug name, "Havidol?" As in, "Have it all!"
If a so-called "disease" can be swallowed by the gullible mainstream media, and believed by brainwashed doctors and consumers, then drug sales will automatically follow. Getting people to believe there's something wrong with them, of course, is amazingly easy. Why? Because everybody's life is in turmoil at one time or another. There's not a person alive who doesn't feel pressure, or anxiety, or challenges, or failures sooner or later. Drug companies want you to believe those feelings are diseases when, in reality, they're just part of life.

Everyday groceries contain ingredients that cause heart disease, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis and other chronic diseases

And, just to make sure nobody gets away without being at least partly diseased, these drug stores also sell products that claim to be helpful for people with diseases, but that actually give them even more disease. For example, did you ever look at the ingredients on those meal replacement shakes for diabetics? The first three ingredients are water, sugar and sugar (sucrose)! It's primarily sugar water, sold as a product for diabetics. With products like this on the shelves, even people who think they're enhancing their nutrition actually end up with a lifelong diabetes problem.

Neurological disease names sound complex, but they often share a common cause

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
This kind of cowardly approach to health is prevalent across conventional medicine, and it usually involves conflicts of interest with the big corporations funding many of today's most prominent disease organizations. The American Diabetes Association, for example, accepted millions of dollars from soft drink companies and candy manufacturers. None of these disease organizations have been willing to stand up and tell the truth about nutrition and chemical toxicity.
If you have good nutrition and you avoid exposure to environmental chemicals, then you won't express a disease even if you have the so-called gene that has been linked to it. These aren't genetic disorders -- there isn't some mysterious physical problem that can be corrected with surgery. There certainly isn't a disease caused by lack of pharmaceuticals, so treating them with drugs is ridiculous. Most neurological disorders are caused by nutritional deficiencies combined with exposure to environmental toxins.
Giving a disease a name implies that modern medical practitioners know how to eliminate it. But they don't. Treating symptoms is not the same as helping a patient resolve the underlying conditions that caused the disease in the first place. You want to prevent or treat your own neurological disorder or cancer? Knowing where to start is simple: Get all the synthetic chemicals out of your life. Permanently!

Where's the health in health reform?

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
Treating disease is big business in this country You see, disease is big business, while health means a loss of revenues. disease keeps people dependent on the system, while health sets people free. disease turns individuals into victims, while health turns them into capable human beings. disease is about centralized authority and control, while health is about individual freedoms and free thinking. That's why you'll never hear any politician, any government, or any disease-care business teaching people how to be healthy.
