Hippocrates: Let Food Be Your Medicine
 
Big Pharma: Let Chemicals Be Your Food
 
We've come a long way since the old days of Hippocrates who thought that good food might be linked to good health. We've come very far, for the most part marching backwards for the last 100 years to the drum of industrial monopolies calling themselves "progressive," and/or "democratic," which are clever words for "communism." Among the industries are the "food" industry, and "modern medicine," together causing the U.S. to now consume the highest percent of drugs on earth to mask symptoms of illnesses. Additionally, about 70% of the US people are being drugged without consent via water fluoridation, despite researchers knowing since the 1930s that fluoride blocks thyroid function. Even this was not enough of a guarantee for an endless supply of pharmaceutical customers. Government shills have also advised us to eat a diet based on grains. They have advised us to eat lots of cheap breads and cereals, assured us that fluoride is good for us, told us that we should stay out of the sun and now that the entire country is ill, they state we all need mandatory medical supervision by the insurance industry, which amounts to a new form of personal income tax and invasion of privacy.
 
Welcome to what will someday be remembered as the American Dark Age, under leadership of the Bolshevik communists arriving here in the early 1900s. They have brought us wars, strife, personal income tax, invasion of privacy, regulations, money control and water and food control. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has revamped their fake Food Pyramid, replacing it with the USDA's new and oversimplified "My Plate" design, which is a different shape, but contains more of the same propaganda. The government is again serving us another plateful of bull meant to pull in profits for the industrialized grain, chemical and pharmaceutical monopolies. Once again, the USDA is advising us to consume a diet based upon cheap grain products. We need to ask why we have been relying upon the Department of AGRICULTURE to give us "health advice," especially when we take a look at the USDA's history.
 
When the USDA desired to create an easy to understand, visually identifiable Food Guide back in the 1980s, they recruited Dr. Luise Light, (M.S., Ed.D.) a nutrition expert living in and broadcasting radio programs from New York City. They felt that she had what it took to lead the team of other experts working on what would in time become known as the Food Pyramid. This was an important project because those in the food industry knew that the foods selected by the experts as the most important for the public to eat, would not only impact the nation's health, but would also impact the food industry's profits. The lucky growers producing the most nutritiously important foods would prosper more than those producing the least important, least nutritious foods.
 
Luise and her team created a Pyramid that would have guided Americans to base their diet on a foundation of colorful, fresh, raw fruits and vegetables. She and her team suggested limiting baked, processed grain and cereal products and limiting grains to whole grains only. She advised that white-flour products should be consumed only as a rare treat. The suggested serving of whole grain foods was to be kept at a maximum of two servings a day for smaller framed, less active women.
 
This did not sit well with the grain and cereal monopolies, and so they went to work behind closed doors. One argument that Luise stated was used was that the public schools would not be able to afford feeding the nation's students a diet based on fresh fruits and vegetables. This diet would create a hardship for the public schools, which needed to serve cheap lunches that remained legally within nutritional guidelines. Therefore, the easiest way to accomplish this was to tweak the nutritional guidelines. When the USDA unveiled its final version of the Food Pyramid, Luise was stunned.
 
Instead of the dietary guidelines calling for a foundation of fresh fruits and vegetables, the Food Pyramid now called for a foundation of cheap starchy grains, pastas and breads. The government's "compassion" was overflowing for the public school system's money bags rather than for the nation's students forced to attend public schools. But the grain and cereal industry was still not satisfied, and so a final industry worshipping suggestion was added to the Food Pyramid. The maximum limits of grain consumption suggested by Luise were tossed out the door, and the government advised instead that we eat "6 to 11 servings daily" of processed starch. With such a horrific diet, it should come as no surprise that while the US now leads the world in the consumption of grains, it also leads the world in consumption of drugs to treat its national illnesses.
 
Luise first contacted me in 2003, after she read a paper I had written in which I criticized "the ridiculous Food Pyramid" and the revolving door in D.C., through which industry reps were routinely walking in order to become government agents "policing" their own industry regulations and investments. The result has been utter corruption throughout America as well as consumer injuries, health problems and deaths. Because industry monopolies also control mainstream media, we rarely hear about the casualties and victims of food and drug wars, but if we look around us, we can see evidence of the US victims of malnutrition and chemical poisoning everywhere.
 
Luise said that when she and her team saw the grain industry's bizarre Food Pyramid that they knew the public was going to believe the advice, which was an advertisement for the grain industry. They feared that when people began trying to eat "6 to 11 servings" of processed starch a day, a national health disaster would happen.
They knew there would be a rise in diabetes and other illnesses, as well as a new national weight problem, and by the time I met Luise their fears had indeed come true. The illnesses and weight problems caused by a grain diet have been worsened by thyroid-blocking water fluoridation. At least 70% of the US people are being medicated with fluoride, some thinking they are avoiding it by drinking bottled water, not realizing that the fluoride in their bath water is being absorbed through their skin. Through government propaganda, industrial monopolies have created an entire nation of sick people calculated to turn to "modern medicine" to purchase drugs to ease nationwide symptoms.
 
Some of the largest monopolies including Monsanto and Cargill have played both ends of the field. Not only have they taken part in food, grain and fluoride production, but they also take part in pharmaceutical applications. Cargill owned two-thirds of the shares of The Mosaic Company. The Mosaic Company is one of the largest phosphate fertilizer producers, and it sells its unwanted wastes containing around 20% fluorides to city waterworks, which then pour the slurry into our drinking water. Thyroid-blocking fluoridation has been going on for about 60 years, but the only disease that the US government has no published statistics on is the epidemic of US thyroid problems.
 
The propaganda regarding fluoridation also uses the false compassion tactic that was used when the industrialists pleaded on behalf of the poor public school lunch budgets for poor students. It should be noted that the word, "poor" is of key importance to the success of many communist schemes, and it is at the heart of Obama's call for mandatory purchase of insurance. It will be mandatory so that "poor people" will all have insurance whether they want it or not, thus leaving the poor with fewer dollars that might have otherwise been used to buy healthy, fresh foods. It will guarantee ill health among the poor who might think that it is "healthy" (and affordable) to consume a diet based on cheap grains.
 
The fluoride compassion tactic consists of the claim that fluoridating drinking water prevents dental cavities "in poor children." The stage two tactic swings into action whenever anyone questions adding deadly fluoride to drinking water (fluoride is, after all, the key ingredient in roach and rat poisons and deadly combat gases). Stage two calls for crocodile tears, and the question, "what sort of a person would want to deny this affordable dental treatment to poor children?" This is asked while the industry knows they are poisoning those "poor children" with a chemical that has never been proven to prevent cavities. Stage three is used when an opponent cannot be silenced by stages one or two. It consists of demanding that opponents must only be "certified, registered and accredited," and only writings that are "peer reviewed" by industry standards should be considered valid.
 
The problem with that, of course, is that unless people do some of their own research outside of the accepted academic box, those who are "certified, registered and accredited" have all been taught the same corporate lies, and have been produced in cookie-cutter fashion from "certified, registered and accredited" colleges. An example of some advice on how to avoid dental cavities was recently published by a "registered dietitian," and shows why we need to do our own homework. Her expert advice was: "Drink sugary beverages within 15 minutes to decrease the time teeth are exposed to acids given off by the bacteria as they eat the sugar from the drink." Regarding the role that foods play in causing cavities, she wrote: "The foods that do the least harm include whole grain bread and pasta, brown rice, low-fat dairy products including milk, cheese and yogurt without added sugars." Grain products stick to the teeth and nearly all US milk products have been cooked (pasteurized or irradiated) and are therefore devoid of the necessary enzymes needed for actual absorption of nutrients that could remineralize the teeth.
 
In August of 2011, Cargill, which is apparently too large to police itself while producing "food," recalled 36 million pounds of ground turkey with drug-resistant salmonella contamination that sickened people in 26 states. Their turkey had been sold to a large variety of industrialized food chains including Wal-Mart Nationwide. Other agricultural monopolies with major pharmaceutical interests have included Monsanto. There is no partnership as dangerous as that between industrialized food production and "modern medicine." One can be used to create profits for the other.
 
According to an article in Forbes, Robert Shapiro was CEO of Monsanto at the time of its merger with Pharmacia. "During his tenure, he was a major proponent of the idea that drugs and crops were similar businesses because both involved biology. 'The next big increment in value,' Shapiro told Forbes magazine in March 1997, 'is in trying to manage as a coherent system the entire process, from seed to crops to food to health and wellness.'" Health and wellness, however, have yet to be achieved, and will never be achieved because the other end (the pharmaceutical end) is waiting to receive its guaranteed endless procession of sick customers. Americans must begin consuming a diet based on fresh raw vegetables and fruits; we are not meant to be grain eaters. We are not meant to be consuming genetically modified oddities, fluoride, and cooked or irradiated foods devoid of all enzymes, including the age-defying enzyme, catalase.
 
I told Luise that Americans needed to know what she had witnessed while with the USDA, and that the public needed to know what is wrong with their government-approved diets. I suggested that she become a whistleblower and tell the public that advice from large government agencies was more likely industrial propaganda rather than the truth. The public needs to know that such agencies convinced the nation that a grain diet is healthy, that drugs are completely safe, and that the CDC continues giving out "awards" to cities that pour fluoride wastes into their community's drinking water. Louise became a whistleblower and wrote a book, What To Eat, (McGraw-Hill), exposing the truth. I was honored to have been one of the editors of her book.
 
The current idea passing through the revolving doors includes an attempt to redefine and limit access to dietary "supplements," perhaps a ploy that is creating a hoped for a public uprising.
"Supplements" are largely manufactured chemicals created by branches of many of the large monopolies. As long as we are eating cheap grain products, however, we will need "supplements," a problem that the monopolies addressed in part by making their grain and cereals products chemically "enriched." This replaces some of the nutrients that were stripped away order to give them a long shelf life.
 
"Enriched" products, however, will never have the full matrix of vitamins, minerals and enzymes found in fresh raw foods. The living enzymes act as catalysts that help to incorporate nutrients into the body. Being alive, they usually work best in temperature ranges that we find comfortable. Generally (but not always, there are some startling exceptions) temperatures that would kill us will also kill or inactivate the enzymes in raw foods.
 
What we need are foods grown locally by decent growers who are not dependent upon chemicals and industries. Supporting local growers would also help to reestablish small farming again, and would help to provide thousands of meaningful jobs for those willing to take on the important task of growing foods. Local neighborhoods would support the farmers by buying their fresh fruits and vegetables as well as other foods, including nutrient- and mineral-rich fresh, raw milk from a healthy, clean, local cow or two.
 
I first realized there was a severe problem with pasteurized cow's milk years ago when I was caring for orphaned and injured wild animals. Store-bought cow's milk killed every one of the orphans, sometimes after only one bottle feeding. I quickly discovered, however, that fresh raw goat's milk that I was able to purchase from a local shepherd would provide ample nourishment for raising robust, orphaned bunnies, fawns, otters, fox kits, squirrels, raccoons and bear cubs. I did not realize then that it was the pasteurization that was making the milk indigestible for the orphans. Mandatory pasteurization of milk is another law that has only been in existence in various states for about 60 years.
 
While 36 million pounds of recalled contaminated ground turkey is being shrugged off, it remains illegal in many areas to sell someone a quart of fresh, raw cow's milk to drink. Here in Tallahassee, I have to state that the milk is not for me, it is for my dog. Small scale farming is generally a much cleaner operation than industrialized farming, and would cut back on food borne illnesses that occur in massive production lines. It would also save on transportation costs. If there were growers and dairy shepherds in each neighborhood, one would not need to be transported to a grocery store miles away in order to obtain food.
 
Medical books from the 1800s indicate physicians in those years were extremely knowledgeable in nutrition, and were already limiting starchy foods as a way of treating diabetes. They already knew about the human need for catalase in raw foods, although what they knew then now seems to have been lost in memory, or ignored.
Doctors were using nutrition, fresh air and exercise to return their patients to good health, although there is not much profit in commonsense concepts.
 
After the communists arrived, everything in the US was changed, including banking, agriculture, education, communication, transportation, and taxation. There had been no personal income tax or "federal reserve" in the US prior to their arrival. When they arrived, first holding meetings in New York, they carried with them a plan as outlined by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in the Communist Manifesto of 1848, and added to it a few newer plans, including an attack on the US Constitution, and renaming themselves. The ten steps, are as listed below.
 
 
1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
 
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
 
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
 
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
 
5. Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
 
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state.
 
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
 
8. Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
 
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.
 
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc."
 
Numbers 7, 8, and 9 focused upon industrialized food production.
The "common plan" joined chemical manufacturers and heavy machinery with giant agricultural producers, resulting in the destruction and depletion of the nation's topsoil thus resulting in a need for more chemicals, and the elimination of and confiscation of the small family farms in favor of industrialized farming. According to the USDA, in the 1840s farmers made up 69% of the workforce, an appropriate number since the production of decent food is one of the most important jobs ever held. By the 1990s, US health had worsened steadily with each decade, and farmers made up only 2.6% of the US workforce. Corporate communists had taken over, and things were now "centralized."
 
The rest of those plans of Karl Marx focused upon ways to control, regulate, tax and redistribute "rich" people's money. In general, no one realized that a communist state was being established in plain view here, because that "free education" in public schools did not teach lessons about Marxist Communism. The centralized transportation monopoly was already in operation as the railroad system was being built to redistribute, transport and "equalize" populations throughout the country, and take the land away from "rebels" who had lived on this land for thousands of years, known as Native Americans. Of course they would "rebel" from having their homes taken away from them, in the same way that the Palestinians have rebelled from the fairly new arrival of Zionists who have been taking homes away from Palestinians for about 60 years. If the new heavy handed "government" did not seem morally right, then all that was needed was to create Amendments to the Constitution and rewrite laws that might stand in the way of the "Progressives," a true oxymoron.
 
In the mid and later 1900s, the mainstream media helped promote the communist agenda by convincing everyone that communism was dead, and that America was a free state of democracy. "Democracy" was equated to sainthood at every opportunity in the press, and was a favorite buzzword used often by George W. Bush for endless war purposes.
Many still do not realize, however, that this country was founded as a Republic, not a "democracy," which is mob rule without consideration for the individual. Democracy has been described as two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Minutes from the Tenth National Convention of Socialists and Communists held in 1900 in New York City clearly indicate that they intended to refer to themselves as "democrats."
 
Communism collapsed in the former USSR, and it is collapsing now in Cuba. Both Vladimir Putin and Fidel Castro have acknowledged that communism does not work. This is because communism abolishes competition and establishes monopolies. It eliminates consumer choices and thus forces the consumer to buy inferior products, including contaminated foods, because we have no other choice.
 
Without competition, there is little or no incentive for innovation and product improvement. Financial collapse is inevitable as Putin warned in 2009. He also warned that, "Excessive intervention in economic activity and blind faith in the state's omnipotence is another possible mistake."
 
Communism will not work as long as individuals are recognized only as cogs in a cold, industrial machine that owns, regulates, invades, moderates and taxes every aspect of life. The huge centralized grip of communism insists that it must regulate everything because it must protect individuals from their own ignorance, while it adds to their ignorance with its "free public education" and other propaganda platforms.
 
We can now take a look around us and see that communism has also not worked in the US. Quite the opposite of Marx's theory of how to create an ideal society, we are not a nation of equal workers, happily striving toward a decent goal. However, when he wrote his manifesto, he wanted power taken away from the bourgeoisie (powerful owners) and given to the poor working proletariat, but he was not expecting that in the not-too-distant future, corporations would somehow achieve equal status as "people." Corporations would then have all power, and because they have no minds, hearts or souls, they would be free to commit horrifying atrocities that have left us all wondering why they are getting away with murder. It was the monopoly corporations, a strange new class of vicious, power-hungry "people," that ruined Marx's theory. It is the corporate communists that have ruined America. We are a nation that has now redistributed individuals' dollars to corporations rather than to the real people who could have truly stimulated the economy. We are a nation of unhealthy people because we have put blind faith in the state's omnipotence. We are what Putin has warned against.
 
Recently, the City of Tallahassee decided to revamp its Star Metro bus system in order to make it more "centralized." Flags went up when I heard that word, "centralized," and as I talked to other passengers, I learned that many were going to be greatly inconvenienced by the changes. One young woman wrote in an editorial statement that she lost her job because the buses were no longer going anywhere near the vicinity of her workplace. The old Maine cliché, "You can't get there from here," is now alive and well in Tallahassee, and I wondered how the new "centralized" plan would affect me.
 
I live in a neighborhood that the City has apparently classified as modestly affluent, or as Marx might have said, bourgeoisie: a neighborhood of property owners. Because I own my home, however, I pay exorbitantly high property taxes and utility fees, totaling many thousands of dollars a year despite the fact that my children (now grown) and I lived in poverty for many years as I struggled to pay mortgage, interest, insurance, taxes and utilities. I had to use credit cards to buy our food and what little clothing we owned.
 
Recently, I had been enjoying taking the convenient neighborhood bus down a mile or so south, where I liked to buy groceries at a small company store that has been in business since 1924. The south side of Tallahassee is a rather poor area, but the people in those neighborhoods have always been friendly to me whether I was walking to the store or taking the bus, sometimes calling out greetings to me, referring to me as "Miss Mary." It has appeared to me that they put forth their best efforts in running their small stores.
 
The particular stores that I liked to patronize were ones where some of the produce is hand picked and sometimes locally grown, and when catfish is available, the fish had been caught locally by people sitting quietly on stream banks in lawn chairs and fishing with cane poles. It's slow, quiet and neighborly down there.
 
After the City changed the bus system, we passengers had a hard time learning where the new bus stops would be. It was necessary for me to walk four blocks to my usual bus stop in order to learn that the new "centralized" plan had removed my neighborhood bus stop going south. Although the buses were still running on the same route near my neighborhood, and still having to stop at the stop sign next to my former bus stop, the buses were no longer taking passengers from my neighborhood southbound and no longer delivering them here from southbound locations.
 
When I wrote to the City about this, the response I received was that I should walk down the full length of my hill to the main street that is about a mile from my house, catch a northbound bus, stay on it until it approaches the Florida-Georgia border (45 minutes to the north of me), where I could then get off the bus and shop at Wal-Mart. Stunned, I asked the City specifically if they had received funds from Wal-Mart to "steer" shoppers away from the small, south side stores and transport the patrons many miles north to the massive Wal-Mart. I was told that the City was not trying to "steer" me, but that they felt that the majority of people would prefer to shop at Wal-Mart rather than the small stores I had been patronizing. The wolves' democratic lunch order had been placed.
 
I contacted numerous people at the largest local television station, WCTV, telling them what was happening, and was subsequently contacted by one person who covers "Star Metro." She said that since I was so concerned about the small south side businesses that might be impacted by the new bus system she wanted to do a TV story about me. This, however, was not a story about me. It was a story about our communist government and she clearly had no grasp of any of it. I declined having a story focused on me. She then told me that she would not be doing any story at all about the matter.
 
The potential economic impact of redirecting traffic away from the south side would, of course, be of no concern to "centralized" government representing monopolies, because if all of the people in the south side areas lost their businesses, jobs and dreams, then more money could simply be extracted from the bourgeoisie and turned over to the newly jobless people who had just lost their cash-paying customers.
 
We have been misdirected and lied to by centralized monopolies and government for about 100 years, and we are now paying the ultimate price for it with our poor health, from which they are reaping profits. We need to wake up, educate ourselves, grow our own food, stop drinking and bathing in fluoridated water and take responsibility for ourselves and our health. We need small neighborhood farms and farmers, small family stores and decent competition. We need to stop placing "blind faith" into the omnipotent state, as well as blind faith in those who are "certified, registered, and accredited," not to mention "peer reviewed" according to industry standards and lies. We need real information, reviewed by real people. We need to remove every socialist and communist from every branch of government because they cannot uphold the Constitution, despite taking an oath to do so.
 
If you are beginning to understand what happened to the health, credibility and peace of Americans, if you are sick of being taxed, monitored and regulated to death by this 100-year-old communist "democratic" government, if you are sick of all the endless wars and the profiteering monopolies, if you suspect that we have not been given the real truth about the tragedy of 9/11, or that of the Kennedy family, and if you are reading this paper because you too have had enough, then I consider this paper to be "peer reviewed."
 
Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what your country can stop doing to you.
 
Thank you.
