AMERICA: A Society Sick and Dying – Starved for Truth!

[dfgrbac]

Unless you are rich, you probably understand that our society is sick at its roots from personal experience. This malady just about covers everything about us and how we function as a culture from our individual and social health to our government and our rule of law. Although we spend more on health care than any other nation, we fall far down the list in successful results in general health care categories. Our dollar is just about worth a Green Stamp compared to its value in 1900. Official unemployment figures continue to be near or over double digit while millions of citizens have fallen off the official rolls and are no longer counted – making the actual unemployment much, much higher. The official unemployment figure is just another of the government lies we contend with daily. As you know, this lack of good information didn't just happen recently – this has been going on for decades.

I recently finished reading a very revealing book about the unbelievable breath and depth of misinformation we are exposed to everyday – misinformation that keeps us from making the right decisions for personal health to political. Thus, no progress is made as we vote in and out two sets of political bums. Instead of our society flourishing, we are dying, not just politically but also individually due to poor health.

The book is THE CHINA STUDY by T. Colin Campbell, PhD. Doctor Campbell is world renowned for his expertise in nutrition. His nutritional expertise was gained beginning with this ground breaking study and in the following years as his observations of hundreds of other studies from around the world produced overwhelming confirming evidence. China was chosen for the initial study because of the wide variety of health and disease in China and the diversity of its population from poor to rich, hard working physical areas to sedentary both rich and poor. Being all Chinese, genetic differences were minimized.

How could this book on nutrition reveal that we live in a ill-functioning society?

The reason is Doctor Campbell's experience with doing good science and the resistance he encountered by our cultural organizations and institutions to his discoveries. There is far too much in his book to try to explain in these few paragraphs, but let me list the most profound discoveries.

1. Animal proteins promote our worst diseases including heart disease, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and diabetes. When patients are switched to an all vegan diet, these diseases are often halted and even reversed. Lab tests of mice actually stop cancer when animal protein is eliminated from the diet. This is not an isolated deal. The bad effects of animal protein have consistently been confirmed by hundreds of studies.

2. Our profit-motive culture guarantees that this information is not generally disseminated. Our meat and dairy industries have $billions at stake and do everything they can to maintain the status quo. Valid science reports are quickly confused by contrary studies that do not completely follow scientific conventions.

3. Confusion and industry power keep government agencies from making good recommendations to the public. This leaves most of us without the latest and best information to make decisions for our futures. Industry lobbyists make sure nothing changes to impact their bottom lines.

The result of Item 3 has far deeper implications destructive to our society than simply our diets. You have seen the mountain of conflicting information on other major issues such as climate change, and even worse – war!

Doctor Campbell does a good job of explaining this all in everyday terms. THE CHINA STUDY contains information we all need to understand if we are to save ourselves and our society from disaster.

1. Will it be worth it once MonSatan gets done GMing all the plants? nt

2. Non-GM'd seeds are still available.

We can make our own gardens if we have the energy.

Alternately, we can buy from local farm markets - most local farms grow organically.

It is not too late - yet.
