"America is facing a health crisis. In the 1930s, just 7.5% of Americans suffered from chronic diseases.1 Today, that figure has surged by over 700%, with 60% of Americans now living with one or more chronic conditions.2 We are also fatter than ever — obesity rates have reached 40% and continue to climb.3
"Even more alarming, the U.S. is the only developed nation where both healthy life expectancy and total life expectancy are in decline4 — a trend that began before COVID-19. In other words, we’re not living as long as our grandparents did, despite all of our technological advancements." [Read the complete article here.]
Industrial agriculture is making us sick!
I couldn’t agree more. I do all my grocery shopping now at a Russian grocery store in NE Philly for the simple reason that much of the food supply from Eastern Europe isn’t toxified with stuff you can’t pronounce. The apples, oranges and other fruits and vegetables they carry aren’t waxy, perfectly shaped and as a result, they taste good. The Serbian and Georgian wines they carry don’t have sugar. I could give countless other reasons why. And… I myself am a lot healthier after discovering the place despite the fact that I don’t go to the gym anymore.
ReplyDelete......excerpt from a commentary written last year, that I have no link to.
ReplyDelete...... Over the years, Dr. Mercola has been a powerhouse of information and products pertaining to nutrition, supplements, and natural health remedies. He could get a little New Age-y at times.
Well, it looks like his New Age practices have finally caught up with him.
It appears that in 2023, Dr. Mercola began consulting with a man, Kai Clay, who identifies as a psychic that channels an entity he calls “Bahlon”. I could post links, but this stuff is super creepy and demonic, so I don’t think it’s prudent. If your radar isn’t pinging by now, then you need to recalibrate your sensors.
Anyway, after consulting with this man, Dr. Mercola, in February of 2024, fired four of his executive staff members – all of whom are practicing Catholics (and one of those individuals is his sister, Janet Selvig). An email allegedly written by Dr. Mercola himself attributed the staff terminations to their Catholic beliefs, and Mercola went on to smear the Catholic Church as a “global cabal” that controls “50% of the wealth of the world and created all the pain that most people experience.” Ummmmmm what?!?!?!
The arena of alternative medicine is rife with New Age, occult practices. My reason for pointing this out is because faithful Catholics can easily become ensnared and as Holy Mother Church warns us, led us down a very dangerous path. I think one can clear see that at play in this situation. In most cases, the occultism and anti-God message is subtle. For example, Mercola’s June 3 article asks, “Are you feeding your soul or the Enemy?” Judging from his email comments, I would assume by enemy he means the Catholic Church. Proceed with caution about any of these people that you may follow in pursuit of health information. We can all agree that modern medicine certainly has problems associated with it, but so does the field of alternative medicine. Any New Age practices should not be easily dismissed or overlooked.

Thanks your for that information. Here's the link: https://nurseclairesays.com/2024/06/04/a-warning-about-dr-joe-mercola/ She doesn't provide much hard data.
DeleteI also went to the NVIC website: https://www.nvic.org/newsletter/may-2024/defending-freedom-of-religion#_edn22 I will not be promoting Dr. Mercola any more. His information about the food supply has been on target up until recently, but if the data about him consulting with a New Age guru is accurate, what comes after this is questionable. The change seems to have come recently. He severed ties with NVIC in March 2024.
In 2021 (the latest year for which there are global data), almost 10 million people died of cancer worldwide. That’s 1 out of every 6 deaths. Over 610,000 cancer deaths happen in the U.S. each year and about 80,000 in Canada. The rest happens in countries all around the world.
ReplyDeleteWith billions of dollars spent each year in research, with additional billions taken from the cancer-related sale of drugs and with vote-hungry politicians promising ever-increasing government programs, we find that today there are more people making a living from cancer than dying from it.

…. excerpt from PREFACE.
Chronic illness in industrialized nations has reached epic proportions because we have been dazzled by his stepchildren – fast foods, fractionated foods, convenience foods, packaged foods, fake foods, embalmed foods, ersatz foods – the bright baubles that fill the shelves at our grocery stores, convenience markets, vending machines and even health food stores.
In America, one person in three dies of cancer, one in three suffers from allergies, one in ten will have ulcers and one in five is mentally ill. Continuing this grim litany, one out of five pregnancies end in miscarriage and one quarter of a million infants are born with a birth defect each year. Other degenerative diseases – multiple sclerosis, digestive disorders, diabetes, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, and chronic fatigue – afflict a significant majority of our citizens, sapping the energy and the very life blood of our nation. Learning disabilities such as dyslexia and hyperactivity afflict seven million young people. These diseases were also extremely rare only a generation or two ago.
Clearly something is very wrong. We buy foods labeled low fat, no cholesterol, reduced sodium, thinking they are good for us. Why, then, are we so sick?
