Why is everyone so sick and tired?
Human beings are fatter, sicker, more tired, more depressed, and less cognitively alert today, than at any other time in human history.
The rates for cancer, dementia, obesity, childhood diabetes, infertility and autoimmune conditions are skyrocketing.
Yet barely anyone within government or public health, seems the least bit interested in finding out why.
If pressed, you will hear a lot of vague references to ‘risk factors’, family history and, of course, ‘smoking’ – a factor that has become less and less convincing as the number of smokers plummets.
But most are simply not prepared to even speculate on the matter.
Instead, the focus is ALL on the best way to TREAT or MANAGE the condition, rather than find out what caused it in the first place.
For those of us old enough to remember Professor Sumner Miller’s popular catch cry of ‘WHY IS IT SO?’, this lack of curiosity is astonishing.
There are no peer-reviewed studies on the subject. No large foundations/institutes established, or government/billionaire grants set up, to investigate it, despite trillions being poured into all sorts of medical research over the past two decades.
It reminds me of ‘elite’ opinion’s lack of curiosity on the likely origins of Covid.
Even now, four years on, there is simply no appetite within government or the scientific community for getting to the bottom of it all.
And with the prospect – or so we are told– of more pandemics to come, where are all the public health campaigns promoting the health effects of fresh air, sunlight and exercise?
Or public health initiatives informing people about the health-giving effects of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other natural ways people can help boost their immune response to infection and disease?
Instead, government public health campaigns seem more concerned with instilling fear and an overwhelming sense of individual powerlessness amongst the populace.
The damage this is doing to public health – and public trust – is incalculable.
