Mainstream media health writers are nutritionally illiterate
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
You know, it's very important where you get your health information, and every time I see a mainstream media article on health, I just scratch my head and say, are these people, these writers, are they kindergartners?
Do they not?
They have no knowledge, it seems, of health or nutrition or even nutritional science of any kind, food composition, agriculture, how pesticides and herbicides work.
You know, I've seen mainstream media journalists I think that you can wash pesticides off the outside of vegetables.
They think you can grow, let's say, watermelons, and they're sprayed with pesticides every week, you know, or maybe every couple weeks.
Well, I don't know the spray schedule.
It depends on the situation.
But they think you can spray them over and over and over again.
And at the very end, after months of growing, That you can just wash the pesticides off the outside of the watermelon.
No, people.
It's all inside the fruit.
It's inside the vegetables.
It's inside the seeds.
When a plant is taking up these chemicals, pesticides, or fungicides, or you name it, this becomes part of the structure of the plant.
And I find a lot of mainstream media journalists don't even know this.
It's like, often, I feel like, just because I know...
I don't know how to describe it.
I know more than most people about nutrition, health, soils, microbiology, food composition, food science, and all this, but I feel like when I'm reading a mainstream media article like in a place like the Washington Post, I feel like someone has transported me to a kindergartner's story time or something, and the little kids are telling each other little senseless stories.
I see articles like, oh, health food is bad for you.
Have you seen these articles?
Clean food leaves people with nutritional deficiencies.
I've seen stories like that just written by absolute idiots when it comes to food and nutrition.
And I don't get it.
I don't get it.
Because ultimately, the whole thing of food and agriculture and health and disease prevention, reversing cancer, all that...
It comes down to cause and effect.
It's very simple.
If you believe in cause and effect, then by definition you have to believe that there are anti-cancer foods.
And let me explain this because every food, every even mushroom, builds, synthesizes its own special molecules.
And you can detect these molecules using some of the instrumentation that I use, mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography, ion chromatography, and so on.
We can look, we can extract using solvents, and then we can look at the specific chemicals that are in foods, and from that we can derive the actual molecular structure.
We can look at the actual...
The structure, the accurate mass, the polarity of the molecules, the atomic composition of these molecules, and these chemicals are synthesized by these plants for a variety of purposes, and these chemicals have an effect when they go into your body.
You can't stop this effect.
It is cause and effect like gravity.
If you drop something, It's going to fall to the ground.
You can't nullify the laws of gravity, and you can't nullify the laws of biochemistry.
So because these molecules have a specific structure and a specific...
Resonance or even harmony, you might say, from a more holistic point of view, they will have a specific effect in the body.
For example, vitamin D will allow greater absorption of calcium, strengthening the skeletal system.
You can't stop vitamin D from doing that.
Many different phytochemicals like apigenins or carotenoids, for example, many different classes, catechins and green tea, for example, they have anti-cancer effects or they help detoxify the liver or they help support kidney health or they help skin healing and even many minerals like zinc healing.
Can play a huge role in that or chromium boosting the insulin sensitivity of your cells so that you don't become insulin resistance or type 2 diabetic.
All of these things interplay inside the body with complex physiology and biochemistry and it's all cause and effect.
You can't turn it off.
It happens automatically because we live in a universe where cause and effect works.
And because of that there are plants and foods that prevent disease.
And can even help reverse disease, even help reverse cancer.
There are medicinal mushrooms that can cure cancer in many cases.
Not all cases, but many cases.
And yet, the entire mainstream media, establishment media, pretends, or perhaps is utterly ignorant, that this cause and effect exists.
It's almost as if they think the Earth is flat, they think there's no gravity, or that gravity could be turned off, like flipping a switch, I guess.
They believe in voodoo, in essence.
They think that pharmaceuticals work by voodoo, But foods don't work because the voodoo has turned off, you see, which is absurd.
If pharmaceuticals have physiological effects in the body, it's because their molecules have a certain shape and certain binding sites and a certain interaction with other organs, tissues, Pharmaceuticals don't work by voodoo, do they?
Don't they work by cause and effect?
Mostly side effect, actually, but we're talking about, at a chemical level, cause and effect, right?
Isn't that how they work?
A lot of them bind with receptor sites and plug them up, like SSRIs.
What does that stand for?
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
They inhibit the reuptake of serotonin, thereby flooding your brain with serotonin chemicals, which changes your brain chemistry.
And creates this effect that drives some people to suicide and other people might feel better for a little while and some people pick up a gun and blow away 20 classmates because of this chemical.
So it has an effect.
Well, foods have effects.
The vitamins, the nutrients, the minerals, the phytochemicals, these all have effects in the body.
They can't not have effects, which is why the FDA is saying there's no such thing as a food or vitamin that can prevent or treat or reverse any disease is the most incompetent, most insane, most anti-science statement that That you'll ever hear from any government regulator.
It is such quackery to say that.
It's like saying, when you eat foods, the voodoo is turned off, but when you take pharmaceuticals, the voodoo is turned on.
That's what they think.
Or at least that's the position they're taking.
And it's insane.
It is scientifically so ignorant.
I mean, these people are illiterate.
They're absolutely illiterate about basic, fundamental chemistry and physiology.
I mean, this is entry-level college chemistry.
This is organic chemistry 101.
Even things like when I talk about if you eat sodium nitrite in processed meats, and when you eat the sodium nitrite, it combines with hydrochloric acid in your stomach.
Yes, you have hydrochloric acid in your stomach, and it forms nitrosamines, cancer-causing chemical compound.
You know, you eat the food, combines with your stomach acid, boom!
You get cancer-causing chemicals right in your stomach.
And then you get colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, leukemia, brain tumors.
It's cause and effect, people.
But the FDA says there's no cause for concern because the voodoo gets turned off when you eat processed meat, I guess.
In their minds, they think, well, somehow they wave a magic wand.
Over the bacon.
And they can turn off the sodium nitrite chemical reaction, I guess, so that it doesn't form nitrosamines in your stomach and you don't get cancer.
I guess this is what they think.
How many magic wands do they have?
They've got to wave them over bacon and pepperoni and salami, breakfast sausage.
What else?
Hot dogs for kids.
I guess they have a lot of magic wands over there at the FDA because that's what they're waving around all the time.
But for the rest of us who live in the real world, you can't stop cause and effect at the chemical level.
Every chemical has an effect.
Whether it comes from a food, a skin care product, a pharmaceutical, a beverage, or even something that you inject, every chemical has an effect in the body, period.
Even water.
You think water's neutral, but it's not.
Water's a solvent.
Water is a solvent, a very powerful solvent.
It is Mother Nature's most amazing solvent.
What do you think carries the waste away from your cells?
It's water in your blood.
How do you think that works?
It's chemistry, people.
It's cause and effect at the molecular level.
You can't turn it off.
It happens automatically because our universe is a cause and effect universe.
So, maybe you've heard this term, magical thinking.
Which is often used as a criticism of people who are proponents of medicinal herbs.
In truth, the so-called magical thinking is on the part of the FDA. Magically, they think foods don't have chemical reactions.
Magically, they think only FDA-approved pharmaceutical chemicals do have chemical reactions in the body.
That is magical thinking.
That's quackery.
That's bizarre thinking right there.
Again, voodoo, magic wand, fairy tale, fairy dust type of thinking.
That's the FDA. That is every doctor who's been trained by the medical system believes in pharmaceutical voodoo, fairy dust.
And they think that the laws of chemistry are turned off when it comes to food.
Which is astonishing.
What about resveratrol in red wine or vitamin D? How can vitamin D not prevent cancer?
That's what it does in the body by activating that entire huge portion of your genetic code that engages in the creation of anti-cancer compounds and anti-cancer metabolic processes that work throughout the body automatically while you sleep with no effort on your part.
You can't stop it.
If you eat healthy food, you can't help but get healthier because you can't even turn it off.
If you eat junk food, you will get unhealthy no matter what because you can't turn that off either.
So it's cause and effect.
What an amazing concept.
If only our medical system and if only our drug regulators believed in real science, we would have an amazing healthcare system.
If they believed in real chemistry, if they actually went back and studied organic chemistry, They would understand that there are healing foods that can prevent and reverse and treat disease.
Even spices like turmeric have astonishing nutritional profiles.
Cinnamon, astonishing nutritional profile.
Vitamin C, both in isolated form, ascorbic acid or buffered with minerals such as sodium ascorbate, Or vitamin D in food form, camu camu.
Oranges, limes, lemons, and so on.
Full spectrum vitamin C, in other words.
This natural medicine is so powerful.
And it is so automatic in its ability to prevent disease.
Mother Nature has given you such amazing gifts that That you don't even have to ask.
All you have to do is consume the food and it goes to work automatically because you were born with a blueprint for perfect, lasting health.
You already have the physiology and the biology and the internal chemistry and the neurology to live in a state of perfect health.
You just have to nourish your system and stop poisoning it with pharmaceuticals, Toxic personal care products.
And please, for God's sake, you people, throw out that damn bounce laundry sheet product and that Tide laundry detergent, completely toxic stuff that you're bathing your clothing in, and then you're wearing those clothes and driving those chemicals right into your skin, cancer-causing chemicals that your body has to work hard to eliminate.
It's cause and effect, people.
If you believe in the laws of gravity, then by definition you have to believe that you can live in perfect health.
It's that simple.
It doesn't require any voodoo at all.
It only requires science.
Cause and effect.
That's the secret.
You don't have to believe in it.
If you just do it, the results happen automatically whether you believe it or not.
That's astonishing.
