How many times have you heard the statement in the title (above), “We’ve been lied to”? Probably a lot. Especially in recent times where “public relations” (thought control, manipulation, or propaganda) seems to reign supreme. Fortunately for those of us skeptics, we have alternative media which are quick to offer up a counterpoint to the established narrative. I actually wrote a piece, not too long ago, whose intent was to make readers aware that things are not always as they seem: (LINK to article) Particularly, when someone, or some entity, stands to profit from our collective naïveté. But, truth matters to me. I also published an article citing Carl Sagan which seeks to assist the reader in some basic truth discernment skills: (HERE). But lately, it seems, truth doesn’t matter all that much to those who are controlling the “health” narrative. There is some hope, however, in the form of a couple of people in the Trump administration. Today, I’m going to cast a spotlight on those people whose stated goal is to help “Make Americans Healthy Again” (MAHA) and to provide some compelling evidence (below) that supports their cause. Namely, Bobby Kennedy, aka: RFKjr, HHS Secretary, and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Director of the NIH.
I’m also going to write a little about some recent revelations of my own which have stirred up a significant amount of anger in me as I slowly began to realize that the American public has been grossly deceived, especially when it comes to “official” health recommendations. I’m referring specifically to the “nutrition guidelines” presented to us by the USDA. These recent revelations that I’m referring to come via two enlightening books that I’ve read in recent months. Both published by real world doctors whose goal is to educate the reader, using real data, on how to regain and/or optimize our health while navigating the dark waters of “official guidelines” and popular advertising (manipulation). Each of the following book reviews includes some statements on the history of my own health and my ongoing quest to get some of it back. Thanks to these two doctors, I can finally see some “daylight at the end of the tunnel” with regard to my own health. First up, is Dr. Casey Means whose book, “Good Energy” is flat out stunning in it’s scope as it seeks to educate the reader on how and why diet matters so much to us, right down to the molecular level. It should be taught in schools. It’s really that good. I’ve titled that review, “Fountain of Health”. And next, Dr. William Davis, author of a few books, but my review is focused on his book, “Super Gut” where he seeks to inform us on just how important our intestinal “microbiome” is to, not just our physical health, but to our mental health and well-being also. I titled that report, “Here’s To Your Health”. Most of the knowledge contained in these two books is based on relatively new studies. What I find especially perplexing is that the information I gleaned from them illustrates, quite clearly, that our diets in the 1950s and 1960s were much healthier then than they are today, generally speaking, despite what we’ve been led to believe over those past 50 some odd years. This would explain, based on my own observation, why kids were generally healthier when I went to school than they are now. It’s truly astonishing that other “seniors” can’t see it, despite their own experience.
If you’d like to know more on why this disconnect exists, between what we’ve been taught and what is true, I’m going to point you to a rather long, but comprehensive, article I just read this morning, which basically destroys a lot of the myths contained in the modern “official” dietary recommendations. The article I’m referring to is titled, “Major NIH Nutrition Trials on Diet and Health Ignored”. If the article seems to be too cumbersome to digest (pun intended), then, by all means, allow me to offer you a summary from an X (Twitter) poster, known as “The True Path”, titled “You’ve Been Lied To”. It’s interesting that, as I was coming up with a title for this Substack article, “We’ve Been Lied To”, after reading the article, “NIH Nutrition Trials…”, I hopped on to X to share it, and lo and behold, “You’ve Been Lied To” was the first to show up on my feed. Imagine!! Coincidence? You decide.
At any rate, as always, my aim is to inform and, especially, to encourage critical thinking. Some of you are probably thinking, “Why would so-called ‘authorities’ misinform the public?” Good question! One that is difficult to answer without venturing into “conspiracy theory”. Those of you who know me, already know that I’m no stranger to conspiracies. I’ve written several articles on that very subject. I don’t consider myself a wild conspirator, so much as a curious skeptic willing to utilize some basic tools of discernment to find out what’s credible and what’s not. So, why would “authorities” misinform the public? Is there some sort of sinister cabal whose intention is to harm people? I don’t necessarily think so. What I do believe is, that there are well intentioned folks in positions of authority who, like most of us, can be manipulated into believing things that aren’t necessarily based in factual evidence. So, the question becomes, “Who are these “officials” being influenced by?”… “What entities are shaping their beliefs?”… and “What are their motives?” I’m going to let you work that out on your own based on whose voices are speaking the loudest against Bobby Kennedy and Dr. Bhattacharya. In other words, I would ask you to “follow the money”. Be skeptical and follow your gut. This new, beneficial health information should be headlining the mainstream news. But it’s not. “Why not?”!!
Think about it. That’s all I can ask. - Craig
