2 PART 1 DEVASTATION

3 CHAPTER 1 THE GREATEST SCANDAL NEVER EXPOSED You may have noticed that practically every week the media announce the discovery of a possible new wonder drug or exciting new development, which might, just might, lead to the cure of a certain disease. Often, most people have never heard of the disease, let alone the requirement for a cure. In fact, recently the pharmaceutical industry has been openly accused of inventing diseases for which drug companies have apparently discovered a cure. This wonder drug culture helps to reinforce the belief that modern medicine is constantly producing miracle cures. Usually the announcement of a cure comes couched in cautionary terms such as: So far experiments have been carried out on mice and the results have proved encouraging. In five years, it is hoped that either a cure or treatment can be developed to alleviate the effects of the disease in humans. Millions of people suffer pain from arthritis, headaches, backaches and so on. Oh, how their hopes must be raised when they hear the announcement, only to be 21

4 DEVASTATION dashed when they ve never heard of the disease. But just think how much more frustrating it would be if you actually suffered from that disease. Your lottery number comes up but you now have to wait five years, not necessarily to prove that the treatment will actually cure or relieve your condition, but to assess any potentially debilitating side-effects. The fact that the disease might have killed you in the meantime seems to have little bearing on the situation. I can t remember how long ago these regular announcements started, but it seems to me it was after scientists began finding functions for our various genes, after James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA in Before biotechnology gave rise to such optimism, the medical profession had been trying to persuade us that our medical problems were mainly the result of our lifestyle: we smoked and drank too much, exercised too little and ate too much, particu larly too much of the wrong foods. I couldn t contradict the logic of these arguments. They were so obvious I couldn t understand why I d ignored them for so many years. And when I finally saw the light and adopted them, no way could I refute that the vast improvement in my health was due entirely to those simple changes. But now it would appear that health has little to do with our lifestyle. Ignore the fact, if you can, that half the planet is dying from obesity and watches the other half die of starvation or polluted water. We are now being told our real problems lie with the incredibly sophisticated intelligence that created us. It makes not the slightest difference whether you believe that intelligence 22

5 THE GREATEST SCANDAL NEVER EXPOSED to be the God you worship or a process of Darwinian selection, apparently that intelligence blew it. Bear in mind that process created us and not vice versa, and that the human body is a million times more sophisticated than the most complicated spaceship or computer mankind has been able to create. Also, bear in mind that although wild animals might suffer from starvation or being underweight, they are never overweight. Obviously, elephants will appear overweight compared to a stick insect; this is due to the needs of the particular species. Whatever the life form, each member is roughly the same shape and size, except with humans. Every day you can witness a human stick insect seated next to a human hippopotamus, but you will never see this with wild animals. This is because the recent and ever-changing so-called intelligence of mankind dominates our eating habits, whereas the habits of wild animals are based on three billion years of trial and error. I find it somewhat ironic that so many research doctors explain their failure to find the solution to a problem with the words: We need more research. Yet, at the same time: IGNORE THREE BILLION YEARS OF RESEARCH Similarly, the only person who has ever disputed my point about wild animals was a woman who wrote to 23

6 DEVASTATION me explaining how unhealthy her pet rabbits were. She then went into a lengthy discussion of their health problems and asked what I would advise. This was an intelligent lady, and I mention the point only to emphasize both the difficulty and necessity of keeping an open mind. The eating habits of pets and other domesticated animals are not dominated by Mother Nature but by so-called intelligent mankind. The bulk of reliable medical knowledge has appeared only in the last two hundred years. Thalidomide and similar disasters are still fresh in my memory. There have even been instances where doctors have deliberately distorted the information on which their research was based. Please ponder this question: How many medical announcements can you remember actually resulting in a proven and genuine benefit to the human race? If your memory is the same as mine, and with the exception of anti-infective drugs that can stem killer plagues, the answer will probably be: NONE. Imagine that an immediate, genuine and inexpensive cure for cancer or AIDS was discovered. How long do you think it would take to broadcast the news around the world? Years? Months? Weeks? No. It would more likely be hours. Further, assume that the cure involved no drugs, no surgery and no experiments on animals, needed no scientific studies or trials on human beings and had no side-effects whatsoever. How long do you think it would be before the disease was eradicated from the world? Surely, it would be a matter of weeks. 24

7 THE GREATEST SCANDAL NEVER EXPOSED If the world s leading medical experts were aware of the doctor s claim but, for whatever reason, hadn t bothered to check it out and, more than twenty years after the discovery, were still advocating treatments that actually made the disease worse, would this not be a scandal on a gigantic scale? Furthermore, assume that the world s media and politicians were also aware of the claims and not only chose to ignore them but actually encouraged the medical profession to continue with its traditional, ineffective methods. Wouldn t that be the biggest scandal of all time? You are probably thinking that such a scenario couldn t happen in this enlightened day and age. If so, you d be wrong. More than twenty years ago, I dis covered an immediate, genuine and inexpensive cure for the number one killer disease in Western society. Amazingly, this good news hasn t been announced on a single TV or radio programme, or in any newspaper. I M CONFIDENT THAT THIS IS THE GREATEST SCANDAL IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND AND I INTEND TO EXPOSE IT TODAY! 25
