I dedicate this book to my partner and her vaccine-injured son, and to her uninjured daughter who will be one of the Seventh Generation children who will make the changes that will allow human life on this planet to move forward in a healthy and heart-centered way.

I also dedicate this book to my own son Galen, for had he remained on Earth, I know he would be telling the truth to everyone he could, for first and foremost he was and still is a truth seeker.

Temperate, sincere, and intelligent inquiry and discussion are only to be dreaded by the advocates of error. The truth need not fear them

Dr. Benjamin Rush (17461813)
physician and Founding Father of the United States

Was the government to prescribe to us our medicine and diet, our bodies would be in such keeping as our souls are now.

Introduction:
Normalized Failure

T he greatest advancement in public health in the last 150 years has been sanitation, namely, clean drinking water and flushed sewer systems. Antibiotics probably rank second. However, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) will tell you vaccines and fluoridated water were the greatest advancementsmore to be said about the CDC later.

It certainly makes one pause to find out the lead contamination of the Flint, Michigan, water supply, at levels multiple times of what would be considered hazardous waste, was known for two years before anyone did anything about it. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the United States knew about it for almost a year before something was done. Was this willful criminal negligence? Lets say this event was just due to human stupidity, though the conspiracy cynic in me has some doubt. Maybe they were all drinking the lead-contaminated (and who knows what other contaminants) Flint river water, so they had a good reason to be so stupid. Who are they? How about Department of Health and Human Services officials, Department of Environmental Quality officials, and a busload of epidemiologists. All denied there was a problem and insisted the water was safe.

It is hard to believe so many people can be so stupid, and lets face it, they werent all drinking the brown Flint water, but they sure were drinking the Kool-Aid. Was Flint a depopulation experiment? Did the depopulation lobby want to find out how long would it take people and governmental bureaucracy to react to being poisoned? There is no evidence for that; nevertheless, even if this was not intentional they still got their answer two years.

Before you say you would never have let this happen in your community, taste your fluoridated water. Most of the fluoride added to municipal drinking water in the United States is purchased from China, and is contaminated with heavy metals. In a letter published in the Cumberland Times-News in 2010, Bernard Miltenberger, president of the Pure Water Committee of Western Maryland, said the bags of fluoride were found to contain lead levels of 40 milligrams per bag and arsenic levels of 50 milligrams per bag. Fluoride is actually more poisonous than lead, and when you mix all three heavy metals together the synergy between them logarithmically increases their toxicity.

But what does it mean to add 50 milligrams of arsenic to the water supply per bag of fluoride? The California EPA states four parts per trillion of arsenic will cause one case of bladder or lung cancer per million consumers, but that 50 milligrams per bag brings the level up to parts per billiona thousand times higher than the level known to cause cancer.

Now, if we are to assume that what happened in Flint was not some nefarious plot, then what is the culture that drives this type of devolution in health that is taking place today? Is it about not rocking the boat? Is it about doing everything to maintain the status quo and not call attention to yourself, especially if your career is in a regulatory agency with political appointees and industry insiders in high positions?

If you acknowledge the water pulled from the Flint river is corrosive, you are also acknowledging that not only was the decision to use that water supply ill conceived, but you are calling attention to the river itself that should be cleaned up, and that has more financial implications than just replacing lead-sodered pipes. Then the lawsuits for destroying the health of so many what a bureaucratic mess! As a career bureaucrat, that is not news you want traced to you. Alas, career security is often the number one priority, even though the truth is that there is no security in maintaining the status quo.

PROFOUND DISAPPOINTMENT

The public has a profound disappointment with conventional medicine, which is the predominant form of medicine practiced today that does everything it can to maintain the status quo. The word conventional is being used here in its most pejorative aspect, that is, the overconcern with what is generally held to be acceptable even if that which is held acceptable should be unacceptable. It is unacceptable to allow profit and shareholder value to dictate medical care. The Rockefeller Foundation birthed todays conventional medicine a century ago to facilitate the use of patented medicines in which those connected with the foundation had a financial stake. That is one reason why medicine is a business first and foremost. One need not look further than all the money spent on alternative therapists and therapies to get a sense of that disappointmentchiropractors, acupuncturists, naturopaths, hydrotherapists, and homeopaths, to name a few, gives one some idea how much mainstream medicine has lost control of the populationbut that is also a time when desperate measures could be taken to regain that control.

Things have gone so wrong in conventional healthcare and the practice of conventional medicine that if readers only take from this book an understanding that we have been put into a position of having to become our own healers, then something useful will have been accomplished. No longer can we assume that hospitals and physicians, regardless of how well intentioned, know what they need to in order to help us navigate our medical issues.
