\"RiskRuse\"<\/a>The Risk Virus<\/strong>\u00a0has infected modern medicine.<\/p>\n

Let’s begin with a story. \u00a0It’s a common story, any doctor, or any nurse can tell you a similar story from their experience. In this case, it’s\u00a0a true\u00a0story I recently heard from a friend, who just happens to be a doctor. It did not happen to him as a doctor. It happened to him as\u00a0a patient. If you talk to your nurse, or your doctor friend, they can\u00a0all tell you a similar story, but they can’t explain it. \u00a0This post will explain it. \u00a0<\/p>\n

My friend\u00a0needed to visit a doctor. Like most of us, he spent some time in the waiting room, with his wife. I guess even doctors have to wait. One of the other patients (who did not know he was a doctor), related\u00a0her story to his wife. \u00a0The doctor listened, although the\u00a0conversation was muffled because the woman was wearing a surgical mask.<\/p>\n

The woman\u00a0explained that she had\u00a0allergies to “almost every organic substance”<\/em>, and they were impeding her ability to function. As a result, she was often unable to work at her job. Her doctor had made suggestions to improve her health: stop smoking, improve her diet, stop using toxic chemical cleaners – but she found these recommendations too hard to follow. She was taking\u00a08 different medicines, \u00a0prescribed by her doctor, to treat her conditions, her symptoms.<\/p>\n

My friend’s wife talked about prevention, eating healthy foods, and about the value of drinking water – the woman replied that she didn’t like the taste of water – she got enough water from diet soft drinks.<\/p>\n

There are no cures for this woman’s condition. \u00a0She’s been infected with\u00a0the\u00a0risk virus. <\/strong>Every suggested action (other than a medicine) is \u00a0seen as a risk to her health. Only medicines are safe.<\/p>\n

She is taking 8 medicines. How many diseases does she have? \u00a0How many conditions? How many diagnoses? How many of her conditions are ongoing, and caused by her medicines?<\/p>\n

Risk sells. It has infected\u00a0many patients, and many doctors. It has infected\u00a0many clinical studies, many researchers, and many research projects.<\/p>\n

Today, every disease has ‘risk factors’ – fear factors, but there are few\u00a0‘cures’. From diabetes, to heart disease, from COPD to kidney disease, and even cancers. These diseases are listed in the top ten causes of disease – but\u00a0they have no cures. \u00a0How does this happen?\u00a0Why does this happen? It’s the risk virus.<\/p>\n

The risk virus is a ruse, a lie. The lie that no individual illness has an actual cause, they only have ‘risks’. When a patient gets cancer, or heart disease, or COPD, there is no real cause. Everything becomes a risk factor. This is simply a lie – but a very pervasive and effective lie, a viral lie.<\/p>\n

It’s a sales lie, a powerful marketing technique. \u00a0Years ago, I worked in computers. I often encountered the F.U.D. of IBM sales staff. Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt. \u00a0It’s a great sales technique. \u00a0Talk about the uncertainty and doubt of alternatives. Create fear. Present a ‘safe’ solution. \u00a0Maybe it’s not the ‘best’ solution. \u00a0Maybe it’s not perfect, but it’s safe. \u00a0IBM is a safe bet.<\/p>\n

Most of today’s medicines are designed, constructed and marketed by risk, by fear, uncertainty and doubt – FUD. It’s nonsense, but nonsense\u00a0sells, trust me on this.<\/p>\n

This is the risk ruse, so pervasive that it spreads like a virus, killing all hope of a cure. Focus on risks, not on actual causes of any illness. Talk about risks, study risks, ignore actual causes. Create a market for your product, fear.<\/p>\n

The risk virus kills cures. If you find the actual cause of an illness, the cure is obvious. Often, no medicine is needed. The absence of medicine does not cause any illness.\u00a0There are many illnesses that can only be cured by ‘not medicines’.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

When the risk virus generates fear, no-one looks for a cause. But if\u00a0we don’t find, and address individual causes, we cannot\u00a0cure any illness, we cannot cure any patient.<\/p>\n

The true cure for any illness is trivial: it’s the opposite of the true cause.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have arthritis, heart disease, hypertension, or type 2 diabetes, know this: these diseases are all ACTIVE. \u00a0They are not disabilities.\u00a0They are active diseases, with present, active causes. \u00a0Removing causes is the first step of\u00a0every cure. \u00a0The second step is healing the damage caused by the illness.<\/p>\n

But no one will tell you what is causing your arthritis,\u00a0your heart disease, your hypertension, nor your type 2 diabetes. \u00a0No one will look for ‘your causes’. Everyone is too busy selling ‘treatments’, so you can live with your ‘condition’ and buy more ‘medicines’.<\/p>\n

It’s hard\u00a0work to find individual\u00a0causes.<\/p>\n

When\u00a0your causes are found, or even suggested, there’s a good chance you will refuse to believe. Like that woman in the doctor’s office. \u00a0When her\u00a0doctor tells her the cause, tells her the cure, she doesn’t want to hear it. Addressing causes is hard work. We want powerful medicines, not hard work.<\/p>\n

Cures require belief. \u00a0Addressing causes of illness requires belief in the cause. Once we find, and believe in the correct cause, the cure becomes possible. Until then, we need hope. We need to believe that the cause can be found, and that it will lead to the cure.<\/p>\n

But she doesn’t want to believe. She doesn’t want to believe that her current lifestyle is the cause of her illnesses. We don’t want to believe either.<\/p>\n

The risk virus doesn’t want you to believe. It wants you to fear. It wants you to accept your illness. Many more medicines are sold on fear and acceptance than on hope. Take this test. Head over to your local pharmacy and check out the OTC (Over The Counter) medicines. Buy the one that cures. Can you find a single\u00a0OTC medicine that claims to cure any disease. \u00a0It’s almost the same behind the counter. \u00a0Over 95 percent of prescription medicines make no claim to cure – they treat symptoms, help you to live with your disease. They help you to give up hope. The belief that most medicines cure is a myth, the medicines myth.<\/a><\/p>\n

Everything becomes\u00a0a risk of disease. There are no causes. As long as there are no causes, there are no cures, only medical treatments. Treatments having\u00a0no hope of a cure.<\/p>\n

It is much easier to take a medicine that does not cure, to treat the symptoms. You can feel them working, feel the power of the medicine that doesn’t cure. It’s easier to learn to ‘live with your disease’, and, bonus, you get to continue to live with your causes of disease. It’s much more difficult to find the actual causes, and address them, to cure.<\/p>\n

To live with the Risk Virus <\/strong>is the easy path.<\/p>\n

Today, we\u00a0can find the risk virus\u00a0everywhere. \u00a0Thousands of medical studies search, not for causes, not for cures, but for ‘risk factors<\/strong>‘. \u00a0The result, predictably, is nonsense. This was recently demonstrated by the meta-study of risk factors<\/strong>, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. \u00a0Researchers counted research studies into 20 common\u00a0foods. They found that all 20\u00a0increased risk of cancer<\/strong> in some studies. But the same 20 foods decreased risk of cancer<\/strong> in other studies. The result is clearly nonsense, but no one looked for a specific cause of a specific cancer in any study, nor in any patient.<\/p>\n

What is a cure? Cure is not well defined in the field of medicine – and I believe\u00a0the Risk Virus\u00a0is part of the reason. We’ll use a simple, powerful, useful definition of ‘cure’ with respect to this woman’s condition. At present, her condition is ‘active’, and actively getting worse over time.<\/p>\n
