More evidence of the sword of truth at work


Never trust an expert! Ever wondered why so much health advice is contradictory? It's because two-thirds of medical research is wrong or fraudulent

Have you been left confused by expert health advice? Even people like me, with years of experience in science and medical journalism, are left scratching our heads when research is contradicted by other studies or turns out to be wrong.

...

Highly respected scientists toss out data all the time. They pretty much have to. It would be hard to justify keeping 'findings' when a key piece of equipment is faulty or if patients in studies are caught not sticking to their drug or diet regimens.

The problem is that it's not always clear where to draw the line between data that is bad and data that the researcher just doesn't like.

Just make sure your information didn't come from a study paid for by Big Pharma or a giant agri-business. Of course thats very hard to do these days. Most research has a predetermined outcome, determined by the entity paying for the study and having a financial interest in the phoney conclusions.

There was a study abut the authenticity of scientific articles. Cross disciplines. It was found that 20% of articles are cooked (the scientific data is bogus).
So that is no wonder. Science has become another form of control mechanism as is every mature religion.

Do be empathic to the medical professionals they do their best, and deliver what they believe is correct. They believe in good faith that they are helping.
So do not take the angry side or the victimized approach, there are many alternatives and many truths. Educate yourself to assist your self and your loved ones.

The medical establishment excel in trauma medicine, surgery, life saving therapy, physical diagnostics.
The medical establishment is built to sustain long term medical conditions, while assisting in life quality selling expensive treatments.
Do not throw the baby with the water.

Just develop a broader approach. Take the best from each medical dicipline.

My personal favorite medical approach to ailment is nutrition change. And that is very personal.
Each person should research and take his life decision. That is called self empowerment.

For health and happiness
