Wow, this article came to my attention at a time I needed it. Can't thank you enough for putting together all this helpful information.
The year I turned 30 I had a repetitive stress injury to my neck while at an office job, and it seemed to be a gateway for an explosion of all sorts of issues that have been coming and going ever since. Physical therapy helped a little, and only sometimes. Since the injury, I have had alternating pain and numbness in head/shoulders/neck/arms/hands, major increase in migraines and headaches, major increase in digestive problems, dizziness and even the heart palpitations you mentioned. I used to think many of those extra issues were anxiety related because this all began during a stressful time in my life. This past year, however, I have felt little anxiety when these symptoms have persisted.
I recently cut my alcohol intake drastically and started juicing in hopes if there was some nutritional deficiency, it would help. Have been to the doctors many times, had all sorts of nerve and blood tests with normal results. The reaction: they encouraged me to keep up with physical therapy, as I had been, no mention of changing posture.
Speaking of posture and that first video, at 12 years old I was told by a doctor that my posture was off. He said my pelvis was tilted out too much, and gave me exercises to help me "tuck in" my bottom. I did not have neck or back issues at that age, and something tells me, based on that first video, that there likely was nothing wrong with my posture in the first place.
I don't know if this "ignoring the root of the problem" is a lack of knowledge on behalf of the doctors, laziness, greed or liability concerns. We are in sad times when we have all this important information that needs to be shared (medically speaking and otherwise), with few open to hearing it and even fewer able to communicate it.
All of the above. Some things I have heard on this topic: Distraction, false and incomplete information, fear and debt based education, tests too hard you have to cheat to pass, being forced to cover your colleagues fatal mistakes, legal protection from deadly procedures, legal threats from healing. If you want to know why it is being done, James Corbett's history documentaries on How and Why Big Oil Conquered the World is a great foundation.
Fortunately people are mostly aware of this so things are changing fast so this is very exciting. The more we understand the above the better off we are because we know to what extent we need to question the modern system.
Keep seeking uncensored truth and take charge of your own thinking and health and I'm confident you can heal anything. Patients have probably just as much to unlearn as our accredited doctors.. Find the right people .. I'm super excited to have just meet and spent lots of time with Clive De Carle . I knew he was special in the fist 10 minutes of his seminar because of my prior research. Check out the doctors and healers he associates with (John Bergman for example). Here is Clive in an interview with Jeff. Jeff is making lots of progress too, I'm very bullish on what both of these guys are doing.
I just finished watching the interview with Jeff Berwick and Clive de Carle, thank you for sharing all this as I now have three+ new people to follow. I have been taking all sorts of vitamins regularly for about 3 years, and I noticed a decrease in flu-like,cold-like symptoms so I would say they are doing something. I also used to burn very easily in the sun, and it seems like since taking supplements I can spend more time outdoors without burning. My nails, skin and hair have become healthier and more resilient.
My boyfriend had told me about a program called the "foundation five," which involves taking these supplements daily: Multivitamins, Fish Oil, Vitamin D, Magnesium, and Probiotics.
I do the foundation five along with other supplements like Collagen, Vitamin C, L-Theanine for relaxation, etc. I just finished up a bottle of Diindolylmethane which balances estrogen levels.
Much like what De Carle said about widespread Magnesium deficiencies, I was told Vitamin D deficiencies are very common. I didn't get tested for Vit. D before taking supplements, but I did get tested after taking them for a year and I was well into the healthy range of Vitamin D, despite being very fair skinned, vegetarian, and not spending much time outdoors with half the year too cold to do so. Very happy with the results from vitamins so far.
Here's a short clip from a doctor who is an expert on Vitamin D if interested. This doctor has said we need more Vitamin D than is actually recommended. There are longer, more informative videos out there too:
Seeing content like this gives me great hope for the future of health. I started my path to becoming health/nutrition conscious shortly before my mom was diagnosed with cancer in 2013. She got a second opinion at a highly esteemed establishment that offered experimental treatments after receiving a stage 4 diagnosis, and they told her she could easily live another 10 years with their treatment plan. She went back to the first doctor, who was pessimistic from the start. When she told him what the other doctor said, he scoffed and said he "NEVER had a stage 4 patient last that long." I was horrified and saw this as a huge red flag, and did my best to encourage her to go back to the doctor with the optimistic outlook, but she chose the archaic pessimist unfortunately. Her experience with doctors like him during such a crucial time was disheartening, and I lost a lot of trust in the average medical "professional." Certainly not saying there aren't good ones out there, as there was a doctor who was obviously more passionate about prolonging her life and quality of life, but she did not continue treatment with that one.
Re: Patients have to unlearn too… yes I remember the days of checking nutritional labels worrying about fat and cholesterol, shocking to learn now it is starving our brains and clogging our arteries. I wonder what it would take to inspire people to think outside of the box a little more often and not blindly trust doctors (or outdated health information) as some type of ultimate "authority."
I will definitely check out the video "How and Why Big Oil Conquered the World," I have liked the videos I've seen from Corbett thus far. Thanks again!
