His request was to address the deceitfulness of television ads which make so many health claims yet deliver additional elements of disease. This is for you Colonel.
As we prepare for the new year, we need to seriously use common sense to navigate between fiction and reality. It’s amazing how the pharmaceutical industry is allowed to make claims for their products but those which provide true help for people are prohibited from making claims.
Have there been cures for cancer? Most are aware this to be the case. Unfortunately, the’ve been silenced and there have been mysterious disappearances of some who’ve advanced these treatments.
Medical doctors who’ve gone against popular beliefs, backed by the pharmaceutical industry have been ostracized and actually lost their licenses.
Drug advertisements target specific populations. Television stations showing programs from the past, more likely watched by senior citizens, target a greater level of degenerative change. The possibility of receiving benefit from these drugs appear to outweigh what’s viewed as insignificant side effects. The usual thought is, “that won’t happen to me.”
In school I learned many aspects of how hypnosis works. It’s consistent with what’s stated in Romans 10:17, which says faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God. By the same token, if we hear something often enough, we begin to believe what we’ve heard and have faith in it.
Another aspect of hypnosis involves providing something comforting to occupy our thoughts while a suggestion is presented to get that thought past the left hemisphere of the brain. The left hemisphere of the brain is the logic hemisphere, while the right hemisphere is the feeling hemisphere. Occupy feeling, and you can reprogram thoughts with what you want, the whole time preventing logic from seeing what’s really possible. This is why so many advertisements have some feel-good visions while they quickly cover themselves by disclosing all the side effects.
You need to make the conscious decision to fully evaluate the potential damage each of the drugs you may be on, or that your physician wants to put you on before taking them. I’ve recently found that others in my profession have begun to embrace the use of statin drugs on their patients to lower cholesterol. This concerns me as they’ve succumbed to the lies of the pharmaceutical industry.
As physicians we’re bombarded by what labs are designating as appropriate health levels. These levels are created and promoted by the drug companies. What’s truly safe and what’s manufactured are two different things. When we see elevated cholesterol and health challenges, we need to understand why cholesterol elevates and change the underlying conditions. These are most commonly associated with lifestyle, something few are willing to take authority over.
As a physician, identifying cause and assisting the patient in changing their lifestyle to correct the damaging aspects is far more effective than just handing out a drug, ignoring the true reason the person is having the health challenge in the first place. Illness doesn’t just happen. We all have the responsibility to properly care for this body we occupy.
How often we see the patient who says, “I like my lifestyle. Just give me a pill and I’ll be fine.” That’s what’s driven modern medicine. I have nutritional supports which are excellent at dealing with the results of malnutrition. Supplements are wonderful, but lifestyle changes pay the greatest dividends in the long run. Making healthy changes to your diet is a primary action which all can benefit from.
This New year, consider starting the year by doing some serious house cleaning. Examine what you keep in your pantry and in your fridge. Get rid of unhealthy foods. We have access to an easy to do 28 day detoxification program. This would be a great start to your new year.
