It's also why, when anomalies surface, such as the spike in autism or gender confusion, the cry to learn what could be causing them is muffled by industries seeking to normalize and deflect from the true sources.


Americans are increasingly depressed, fat, infertile, unfocused, and medicated. Among comparable developed nations, we're taking the most pills, paying the most for our medical care, and growing the sickest. Yet it's as if our health experts don't notice what's right in front of their noses. They remain hyperfocused on collaborating with the insurers, hospitals, and pharmaceutical interests that are getting rich off our poor health.


Doctors toil away in their stovepiped specialties, rely on propaganda passed off as medical studies and public health guidance, and shrug their shoulders when an illness baffles them. By design, they lack the time or curiosity to figure out what's really causing diseases like cancer or autism, and remain eager to pump out the latest pill or injection.


We're suckers. We continue to fund the broken system with record amounts of our tax money, while there never seems to be follow-through on serious oversight of the industries that give so generously to our media and politicians.
