"Quackery and Pseudoscience"

Hello fellow traveller!

I’ll be blunt: the health industry calls the Germanic Healing Knowledge or Germanic New Medicine approach to wellness “quackery” or “pseudoscience.”

(This can kinda get in the way of people using it to getting better)

Conventional Medicine’s Job

Doctors can sew legs back on, replace hearts, save lives in ways that once were inconceivable. But when it comes to even the most common illness …all a health professional does is try to suppress symptoms. Even the majority of alternative or holistic treatments are usually for symptomatic relief.

This has its place. It can make you feel less bad. It can keep you from dying.

But it’s not where wellness comes from.

Medicine today sits on a series of ideas that developed in the 1800’s after the Scientific Revolution wound down. These are ideas like Germ Theory, the Theory of Evolution, and the use of anaesthesia and antibiotics.

It was a miracle. These ideas were drastically better than what came before.

Until the 16th Century, “experts” believed:

  • every event that ever occurs is a direct result of supernatural intervention by angels, demons, or God. The solution to illness is prayer and exorcism.

  • everything on Earth is made of air, earth, water, and fire.

  • air and fire weigh less. Therefore they float upward and combine to form a fifth element, “ether.” That’s what all the heavenly bodies, spiritual beings, and their invisible ropes and pulleys are made of.

  • the Earth is the centre of the universe. (And possibly a flat disc with an ice wall around the outside rim)

 

The new understanding of Nature that came out of the Scientific Revolution by the 18th Century was very different:

  • the universe is a clockwork. Everything is part of a machine. If you’re sick, the solution is to find the bad part and fix or replace it.

  • every action is a result of a previous action (“cause and effect”). If your body has a physical change, a physical agent must have caused it.

  • there is no connection between any physical event and your thoughts, beliefs, or feelings about it. There is no supernatural aspect to any illness.

  • the physical world works in a logical, linear way. This means the underlying cause of an illness can be found in statistics. It also means that if a small dose of medicine doesn’t cure you, a larger dose should do the trick.

 

This calm, mechanistic approach is the health industry’s “job” today. Instead of going to the priest or exorcist, you go to the doctor or alternative medicine practitioner.

And the mechanical approach works great for acute anatomical problems. Emergency rooms and hospitals, chiropractic adjustments and herbal remedies are important.

There’s just one problem. Mechanical Problems Don’t Cause Illness. (It’s the Other Way Around)

Classical mechanics (from the Scientific Revolution) will never solve the problems you and I really want solved.

How do I create a life I love?

How do I maintain my sovereignty in a world where people think I’ll make them sick by breathing on them?

How do I prevent my child from getting diagnosed with cancer?

Classical mechanics – to which today’s health industry is rigidly bound – fits the facts much better than pre-Scientific-Revolution beliefs. So much better, that many experts believe everything important has already been discovered. This is why most research funding goes not toward discovering something new, but to finding proof of things we already believe.

It’s why most medical science today isn’t science at all.

And it’s why new information that doesn’t fit the prevailing belief is dismissed as “quackery” or “pseudoscience.”

Paradigm Shifts Hurt

The shock and awe of incredible new mechanical technologies have made it really hard to tell health professionals, “This diagnosis doesn’t make sense. I need deeper answers.”

It’s difficult to let go of medical “facts” and embrace the unknown. Even if those facts aren’t based in anything. What you need to know to break out of this dogma is this:

when someone dismisses an idea as “quackery” or “pseudoscience,” they’re really just holding on to dogma.

They’re scared to look into things. They’re afraid of being a heretic.

Change is Upon Us

Despite how hard it is to let go of certainty, we’ve had to do it more and more over the past few decades. We’ve got this mountain of astonishing, mind-bending, paradigm-shattering new facts that don’t jive with the official dogma and are kind of piling up in escrow, waiting to smash the health industry to pieces because of its own rigidity.

(This is what all of my videos, articles, courses, and these CliffsNotes are about)

Scientists are beginning to see that the Scientific Revolution isn’t over.

The idea of classical mechanics was just the first draft. A sort of working model that let us invent electricity, microscopes, drugs, and machines that go “PINGGG!”

Yes, classical mechanics are awesome. For mechanical problems. Like bypassing the heart and lungs or sewing a leg back on.

But classical mechanics suck for fixing illnesses. Like cancer, MS, or the ‘flu.

The new discoveries of the 19th and 20th Century, usually called “quantum mechanics,” fit all the facts much better:

  • everything is made of unified wholes that are more than the sum of their parts.

  • Illness is something that you originate. It does not have a physical cause (such as genes, germs, toxins, carcinogens, or stress).

  • the observation of an event instantly changes that event, because the observer and that which she observes are two aspects of the same system. This is why understanding why you’re creating your symptom is the key to healing it.

  • systems are complex, not linear. Effects aren’t proportionate to causes. A tiny change in expectation and action, depending on how you leverage it, can make a massive difference in your health.

 

I think we’ve come full circle. The 16th Century belief that God controls everything wasn’t wrong.

It was just vague.

Then the Scientific Revolution showed us some cool stuff about how God controls everything.

And now, with quantum mechanics and the systems-thinking approach to biology pioneered by Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, I believe that we are discovering why God does things.

Be well.
