Editorial Control

Six corporation control what is seen or published across the US. The question is who is controlling the narrative that they spread?

For over a decade, my avocation has been to give lectures that our healthcare system is not addressing the root causes of the overwhelming ill health that has befallen Americans. My view has been that all Americans need good nutrition without toxins. If nutrient deficiencies are present, they should be addressed with supplementation.  As an example: Majority of Americans are deficient in Vitamin D which is not a vitamin but is actually a hormone in its active form.

Majority of Americans have become sun shy and fear the sun, which actually gives life to all living things. Consequently, they are Vitamin D deficient.

In addition, staying physically active is essential. Exercise should be a daily routine. 

Finally, learning to live a stress-free life, which is achieved by having harmony between mind and body.

I call it N2E plus for Life. My views and those of RFK Jr are in alignment, and all Americans should be given the opportunity to learn what RFK Jr believes. 

The following is what RFK Jr has stated about what is driving the ill health that Americans are experiencing in 2024. Addressing the root causes needs to be addressed and not just treat the symptoms of ill health. He believes that the Democrats running this country will not fix the problem.

The problem is that six mega corporations control the informational flow through visual and print across the US and RFK Jr. message is being muffled.

RFK Jr. said the following and speaks the truth. 

Today, two-thirds of American adults and half of children suffer chronic health issues. Fifty years ago, the number for children was less than one percent. 

In America, 74% of adults are now overweight or obese, and close to 50% of children. One hundred and twenty years ago, when someone was obese, they were sent to the circus. In Japan, the childhood obesity rate is 3%. 

Half of Americans now have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. When my uncle was president, juvenile diabetes was effectively nonexistent. The average pediatrician would see a single case in their lifetime. Today, one of every three kids who walk through their office door is diabetic or prediabetic.

There’s been an explosion of neurological diseases that I never saw as a child. ADD, ADHD, speech delay, language delay, Tourette’s, narcolepsy, ASD, and Asperger’s. In the year 2000, the autism rate was one in 1,500. Now, autism rates in kids are one in 36 nationally, and 1 in 22 in California. The screening has not changed. Nor has the definition. The incidence has changed. 

About 18% of teens have fatty liver disease, a disease that primarily used to be found only in late-stage alcoholics. Cancer rates are skyrocketing in the young and the old. Young adult cancers are up 79%. 

One in four American women is on an antidepressant medication. 40% of teens have a mental health diagnosis. Today, 15% of high schoolers are on Adderall and half a million children are on SSRIs. 

So what’s causing all this suffering? I’ll name two culprits. First is ultra-processed foods. About 70% of American children’s diet is ultra-processed — industrially manufactured in a factory. These foods consist primarily of processed sugar, ultra-processed grains, and seed oils. Lab scientists concoct thousands of other ingredients to make these foods more palatable, more addictive. These ingredients didn’t exist 100 years ago, and humans aren’t biologically adapted to eat them. 

Hundreds of these chemicals are banned in Europe, but ubiquitous in America’s processed foods. 

The second culprit is toxic chemicals in our food, medicine, and environment. Pesticides, food additives, pharmaceutical drugs, and toxic waste permeate every cell of our bodies. The assault on a child’s cells and hormones is unrelenting. To name just one problem, many of these chemicals increase estrogen. Because young children are ingesting hormone disruptors, the average girl in America is reaching puberty at age 10 to 13 — six years earlier than girls were in 1900. Our country has the earliest puberty rates on any continent. And no, this isn’t because of “better nutrition.” This is not normal. Breast cancer, an estrogen-driven cancer, now strikes one in eight women.

Considering the grievous human cost of this tragic epidemic of chronic disease, it seems almost crass to mention the damage it does to our economy. But I’ll say, it is crippling our nation’s finances. 

When my uncle was President, our country spent zero dollars on chronic disease. Today, government healthcare spending is mostly for chronic disease, and it is double the military budget. And chronic disease costs the economy as a whole at least $4 trillion. Probably more when you consider the indirect costs. That’s a 20% drag on everything we could aspire to. And it is the fastest-growing cost.

Author's comment: Note California autism rate is the highest in the nation and in that state 25 vaccines are mandated for Infants from birth to six months old. In 1960, Healthcare costs were 10% of GDP.  Today it is 20% and headed for 25%!
