Bill Maher understands the woo factor in medicine, and has proved it time and time again. From interviews on Larry King, to political satire, he has shown an understanding of the underpinnings of the legal drug culture.

I have seen the incredulous looks of newscasters, and other well known personalities as he talked about the dangers of vaccination. His take on the American diet is right on.

There are many posts that seem to say that Bill Maher spreads woo to the American public. What he does is set the record straight. He is left of center, and that sometimes is misunderstood. Conservatism in this case is keeping the status quo, so those in power can work the crowd.

The news commentary shows have an advertising base that pulls the strings. Pharmaceuticals and processed food make up much of the advertising dollars. It is rare that you have a newscaster with enough knowledge to know that there is a problem with not just the health care industry, but the whole premise of drugs for health.

If anyone ever watched a pharmaceutical ad it is obvious that something is wrong. If anything Bill Maher is the true conservative. He is saying take care of your own health, so you don’t have to rely on radical treatments.

Is Bill really a true conservative?

There are many different kinds of cancer, but in reality there is one underlying process.

One Cancer

There is proof that there is one type of cancer. Look at the facts. In 1970 lower-and middle-income countries (LMICs) accounted for 15% of global cancer cases. In 2008 the figure rose to 56%. Experts estimate that by 2030 the percentage will reach 70%.

What do those numbers say? Well for one there is a ecological cause, and these things are causing various cancers. Why we are losing the war on cancer is for one we don’t understand what it is. Two we are treating it in the wrong way. It is first and foremost a whole body condition. Until this is acknowledged we will be stuck thinking we are fighting different conditions.

Sure some cancers respond to certain treatments better than other locations. There are some very good reasons for this. The accessibility to the location and the truth is some cancers are classified as such, but they aren’t really cancer in the true sense.

Also depending on the location and the surrounding area cancers can have access to a better food supply.

Et Cancer

Cancer always depends on the condition and terrain of the host. Nutrition status is extremely important in the development of cancer. Lower and middle income countries have a more abundant food supply, thanks to incorporating a western type diet. Not only are there fast food outlets, but more wheat and rice that have been genetically modified. More processed food is available and the number of calories that are consumed are going up.

There is only one kind of cancer, and that comes from a poor nutritionally deficient diet, with too many calories, and a environment full of chemicals.

ADHD behaviors as seen in children seem to have very little meaning.

ADHD Diagnoses

An ADHD diagnosis seems to be arbitrary. Two published studies seem to say something is wrong with the way ADHD is diagnosed in young children. In the U.S. nearly one million kids may be misdiagnosed just because they are the youngest in their kindergarten class. The youngest in the class is twice as likely to be on stimulant medication.

What was found the youngest children were much more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD and be prescribed behavior modifying stimulants such as Ritalin.

Could it be the teacher was just having a bad hair day, and had no patience for an unruly 5 year old?  Since this is such a subjective diagnosis this can be a factor.

Hyperactivity

Hyperactivity in a five year old seems normal to a sedentary adult. This is a perception, not always a reality. It is estimated that the misdiagnosis rate is about 1 in 5, and that 900,000 of the 4.5 million children currently diagnosed with ADHD have been misdiagnosed.

Wow, 4.5 million children diagnosed with ADHD is correct. I don’t buy it. With our diet, and vaccine schedule it is possible that we have fostered a nation of unruly children. This number doesn’t add up. 

Attention Deficit Disorder

Attention deficit disorder is a relatively new term. It use to be called rambunctious, acting out, class clown, energetic, and irascible behavior. With a profit center build around Ritalin, a new term is just what the drug companies ordered.
