 Why conventional medical researchers remain nutritionally illiterate
Western medicine still doesn't "get" nutrition. They think all health effects are achieved by single, isolated chemical constituents. But nutrition doesn't work that way. In nature, for example, Vitamin C is not a single chemical, but rather a symphony of complementary phytonutrients that work in concert. Conventional medical researchers almost never test plant medicine using full-spectrum nutrients. Why? Because they don't understand the concept of nutritional synergy.
The bottom line? |

 In order to accomplish that, they have to get the medical researchers, the mainstream media and members of the public to all play along and pretend that vitamin D has nothing to do with these diseases. They also have to get everybody to pretend that antidepressant drugs are a treatment for osteoporosis -- an idea that's utter nonsense and, in fact, may be the exact opposite of what's really true. Notice, for example, that the women in the study showing the lowest bone density were already on antidepressant drugs. |

 I have an author who is putting together a book documenting the mysterious deaths of over 100 medical researchers who were all on the brink of announcing a cure for various diseases with non-drug and non-surgical methods. All of these medical researchers mysteriously died under the most bizarre and suspicious circumstances. This author is also documenting all of the mysterious disappearances and deaths of people in Washington and other political organizations when secrets and truths were about to be exposed. |

 Previously belittled as simple problems of growing up, medical researchers now recognize them as forms of encephalitis (inflammatory disease of the brain). More than 20 percent of the American children—one out of five—suffer from these or related problems. The multi-dose version of the hepatitis B vaccine, which is typically given to newborns before they leave the hospital, still contains thimerosal—the mercury-containing preservative. The central nervous systems of newborns are utterly defenseless against these toxic assaults. |

 First off, I personally interviewed (mostly via phone but a few in person) about 300 respected medical experts on the cutting edge— physicians with nutrition training, neuroscientists, medical researchers, obesity experts, food industry analysts and insiders, nutritionists, observers, activists, and public health advocates. You'll find their quotes throughout SUGAR SHOCK! |

| Healing Is Up to the Patient
Most medical researchers know that the patient's mental and emotional state can make the crucial difference whether an administered drug or treatment program is effective or not. If a patient is experiencing depression, anxiety, negative stress, trauma or an emotional crisis, the prescribed treatment will have a much lower chance of success. This fact may explain why pharmaceutical drugs have such meager success rates, on the average, only about 35 percent. |

 We know that medical researchers, like those of any profession, reflect not only tradition and training, but also vested interests. Therefore most often they will conduct research on problems that they once studied as students. Therefore they are more likely to study problems that will advance their career interests, ones that will allow them to compete for and win large grants—perhaps ones that come from large pharmaceutical companies.33 As a result, they are more likely to conduct research on chemotherapy rather than on herbal treatments for cancer. |

 TWO Living Too Short; Dying Too Long
AS WE ROUNDED THE CORNER INTO THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY, physicians and medical researchers took special note of the state of health and medical care in the United States and the industrialized world. Looking back over a century gone by, the comparisons of diseases are remarkable. In the early 1900s people primarily died of infectious diseases. The four leading causes of death in the U.S. back then were pneumonia, tuberculosis, diphtheria, and influenza, and people had a life expectancy of a little more than forty-three years. |

1990: A report in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine states: "So little interest being shown in the past by granting agencies such as the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society, and by medical researchers in carrying out studies of the value of vitamin C and other nutrients in the prevention and treatment of cancer, in spite of impressive results of Cameron and his associates. |

| This is, in fact, my point: An intelligent high school graduate could see through the holes in the logic of these medical researchers and mainstream news reporters!
You don't have to be a genius to find the flaw in the logic of mainstream media stories covering health topics. This is what astonishes me so much: How on earth is nobody else noticing these fatal problems in medical research and mainstream media reporting? Why does this stuff just slip by? And why, by God, do the readers of all these newspapers just swallow all this information without a single skeptical thought? |

 Similarly, ideas about how to realize the healing effects of positive thinking were first developed and disseminated in populist teachings and texts; next, they were claimed by reform-minded medical researchers in the second half of the twentieth century (who linked these ideas to emerging understandings of the biochemistry of placebo effects and the ways in which the brain and immune system interact); and finally they were disseminated again into the popular culture, but stamped now with the imprimatur of biomedical science. |

The problems with modern medicine and the mainstream media
This reporting about the link between depression and osteoporosis brings up several important concerns:
1. The medical community is incapable of identifying the common nutritional causes behind correlated diseases, even when those causes should be obvious.

| Physicians and Ethics
Professors, medical researchers, and doctors appear to have a couple of genes that are not influenced by the environment in the same manner as the rest of us. The first is the gene that regulates their naivete. They feel so buffered from influence that their choices are always determined only by the highest principles of science, learning, and teaching. Ironically, research has shown that doctors do not especially feel that their medical peers operate from this same pedestal of integrity or morality.
Another gene also seems to differ in these individuals. |

| REPPED: Conventional medical researchers around the world are scratching their heads over new research published in the Archives of Internal Medicine that shows a strong correlation between depression and osteoporosis. Amazingly, none of them apparently have the presence of mind to consider the simple, common cause behind both conditions: Chronic vitamin D deficiency.
This new research found that 17 percent of women with depression showed thinner hip bones, while only 2 percent of non-depressed women showed the same thinness of hip bones. |
| Both mainstream journalists and medical researchers remain nutritionally ignorant.
4. The public is being routinely misled by the mainstream media on health issues.
Now, based on this reporting, you're going to have women suffering from osteoporosis who run out and get on antidepressants, thinking that the SSRI drugs will reverse their osteoporosis.
Understand: This is exactly what Big Pharma wants to accomplish with this news! The whole point of this exercise in junk science, lousy reporting and astonishing nutritional ignorance is to get more women to take more drugs. |

 A century or more ago, medical researchers learned that giving patients even a sugar pill—one that looks identical to the drug being tested but has no real effect— could make some patients feel better. So in order to figure out how effective a new drug is in reducing symptoms, researchers compare its effect against that of a placebo: a sugar pill. Since every patient in a placebo-controlled trial gets some treatment, this type of study allows the researcher to sort out the therapeutic effect of the active drug, comparing its effect to that of just being treated with an inactive substance. |

 We must have friendly bacteria in the gut in order to be healthy individuals for a variety of reasons, some of which are only beginning to be understood by medical researchers. Healthy skin also provides the right terrain for friendly bacteria, while discouraging the growth of harmful bacteria.

 Until conventional medicine grows up and starts to recognize the vibrational nature of the universe, and how the human body is more than a reductionist collection of its parts, medical researchers will remain mystified about the true causes of disease. They will continue to explain the causes of these diseases by describing the effects because they don't really know the true causes. Those causes don't fit the current model of scientific understanding.
That's why, as Deepak Chopra says, today's medical researchers are fantastic technicians, but terrible healers. I agree completely. |

| And yet, it is curious that when conventional medical researchers report the results of mortality risks for their prescription drugs, they always use absolute risk. They say things like, "Well, this drug only increased the risk by one percent." But what they are not saying is that it may be a 200% relative increase in mortality risk, depending on the baseline absolute mortality numbers. So if only 0.5 people out of 100 normally died from heart disease during a particular study, but 1.5 people died when taking a drug during that study, the relative risk increase is 200%. |
| Conventional medical researchers declaring that vitamins are worthless is about as credible as Bush Administration climatologists claiming there's no such thing as global warming.
With the publication of this research, the distortion of health reality is now complete. According to the Americal Medical Association, vitamins will kill you but pharmaceuticals will make you healthy.

| Conventional medical researchers are almost always funded by commercial interests, too, meaning they're not really interested in looking for free of natural cures for disease. They're looking for a way to scare the public into getting more disease "screenings," taking more pills and submitting to more invasive medical tests so that patients can be diagnosed and then "treated" with high-profit prescription drugs. It's all about recruiting patients into their profitable medical scam where diseases are never prevented or cured but managed with a lifetime of extremely expensive pharmaceuticals. |

 New jobs will be created to support IT systems in hospitals, and medical researchers will be needed to conduct the studies that evaluate the effectiveness of medical treatments. There's no denying that shrinking our health care system will cause dislocation among workers and lower profits for some sectors of the medical industry. But America's industries are undergoing constant change, and in any other arena of our economy we would never tolerate the degree of waste and inefficiency and lack of accountability that's rife in health care. |

 While this study was hailed as a breakthrough by medical researchers, a strict genetic etiology for autism remains controversial.
What the research does not conclude is whether the identified gene is the direct cause of autism or whether one or more external agents—a toxic substance such as a heavy metal—affected the genetic chromosomal region.
Although mainstream medicine, citing the results of several large studies, appears convinced that there is no autism-vaccine connection, there are natural medicine practitioners, parents, and others who strongly disagree. |

 Many years ago, the late master herbalist Stuart Wheelwright dubbed this domino effect the "toxic stress cycle."
As medical researchers learn more about toxins, a growing consensus focuses on the central role toxins play in damaging our health. They take a toll from the time you are in your mother's womb until you take your last breath. What's more, they may even harm you before you are conceived.
It's remarkable to think that exposure of an embryo to environmental toxins can create new inherited traits, but scientific research has shown this to be the case. |

| It absolutely amazes me that we supposedly have the best medical researchers in the world and no one has made the connection between bowel transit time and the incidence of disease and digestive health in particular! "An assessment of colonic transit time enables the healthcare provider to better understand the rate of stool movement through the colon ..." since, obviously, disease or impairment within the digestive system can lead to reduced efficiency.4 In other words, the slowing down of transit time can indicate the onset of constipation or further bowel disease. |

 In 1985, medical researchers reported a new syndrome. Its etiology had important implications for exposure to chlorine, which is essentially an attack by a war gas agent, whether it occurs through massive environmental release, workplace gassing, or personal use of consumer products. On the basis of initially just ten patients, researchers described a novel asthmalike condition. Its sufferers experienced ongoing shortness of breath, wheezing, or coughing and required treatment with the same kinds of medicines used in other forms of asthma. |
| Finally in the early 1860s, after British medical researchers maintained a complete silence on the subject for nearly twenty years, Dr. Edward Head-lam Greenhow began a systematic investigation of the health hazards of the textile trades. Greenhow was working under the aegis of John Simon, who orchestrated a series of public health reports for rhe Privy Council, a governmental body in which Simon served in a role somewhat analogous to that of the U.S. surgeon general. |
| The medical researchers interested in RADS had the opportunity to exploit a "natural experiment." They were aware that workers in pulp paper mills and other chlorine-handling industries are intermittently gassed with either chlorine or chlorine dioxide. Health researchers suspected that these workers would be an ideal group in which to study whether repeated gas exposures or even a single large irritant exposure can lead to asthma. Medical teams working in British Columbia, Quebec, and New Hampshire went on to show exactly that. |
