SCENARIO ONE - ’DISEASE’

Home / Scenario Two / Scenario Three / Three Scenarios Introduction

---I remember reading an article in a medical newspaper years ago about a certain segment of the population of the Aborigines living in the wild’s of Australia, and about how some research biologists or doctors or whatever were ‘domesticating’ them.

---By this I mean to say that they began feeding a large select group of Aborigines the regular normal foods of our modern urban societies, the kinds of food we live on, which we might even say or regard as the well-balanced meal, the kinds food that people would speak of in terms of being a ‘healthy’ diet.

---Now, the normal food intake for these Aborigines was food of the wild, natural to their habitat in the wild, in the Australian Bush. Sure, they ate meat, but it was meat ['meat' is simply 'muscle']...meat coming from animals also living in the wild in their natural habitat. Our domesticated ‘meat’ (coming from domesticated animals, like cows) has been infiltrated with fat to make it juicy and succulent and taste good (and ironically it's more expensive)...while the meat of the wild from a wild animal, on the other hand, is tough, and thereby not infiltrated with much fat.

---At any rate, the article also pointed out that, ‘normally,’ these Aborigines had a very small incidence, if at all, of diabetes...you know, the ‘disease’ we call ‘diabetes,’ wherein the blood sugars are too high and all sorts of damage eventually occurs throughout the vascular and nuerological systems of the body, and the kidneys and the visual system, the eyes, and so on. Diabetes, over a period of time, is one of the worst ‘diseases’ of our modern societies. We all know that. Again, knowing this, that ‘diabetes’ is a ‘disease,’ is no ‘no-brainer.’ You don’t have to be a doctor or rocket scientist to know that.

---Okay. So now, the way it turned out, within a reasonably short period of time, a significantly large portion of these domesticated Aborigines developed diabetes, much higher than the usual small incidence which occurred in their normal habitat.

---...Then, after a period of time, once a sizeable portion of these Aborigines had developed the full blown diabetes, they were returned to their natural habitat eating the foods they normally ate.
The result: After a given period of time, relatively short (I forget exactly how short a period of time), a markedly significant number of those Aborigines who had developed the diabetes secondary to their domesticated foods (most of them) reverted back to a diabetes-free condition. No sign whatsoever of the diabetes as checked via blood chemistry tests for diabetes.

---Now, that interested me...and I will ask you, does that interest you?...that the mere change in diet brought out the ‘disease’ called diabetes, and that reversion back to their normal diet caused a similar disappearance (or ‘cure,’ if you will) of the ‘disease’ called diabetes!

---Actually, it should interest you, for a marked number of you who are reading these words will at some time, if not already, develop this same type of what is referred to as ‘late onset diabetes’ (as opposed to ‘juvenile diabetes’ which more often than not occurs earlier in life and is significantly genetically predetermined).

---Remember now...what I’m about to say (using this little scenario about the Aborigines and the development of diabetes) relates pretty much to most all diseases, especially those of a chronic or long range nature. And, chances are, at some time or another in your lifetime, you’re gonna get some kind of ‘disease,’ or even die from it eventually, or a member of your family or whatever.
---...I don’t mean to scare you, but fact is, knowing how all this works, that you do have much control over the development and/or progression of diabetes and most all these other diseases, means just the opposite, that you don’t have to be scared.
...Why?...because you have control!...and by having control, you determine your own fate!

---So, does all this interest you?
...You know, you really don’t have to know ‘medicine’ to come to some amazing conclusions about what I've pointed out, but of course the 'medicine' does help. So let’s do this together. Let’s figure out what the world doesn’t yet know...by simply making a few simple observations.

---We’ve gonna come to some conlusions, and it’s gonna be so easy, and so logical...such a ‘no brainer’...that it’s gonna sort of get you angry...and ticked off...and feel like saying,
---“Hey wait...how come I wasn’t told this before?” And, “How come so many people are dying from this, and similar diseases?

---Well, actually, it’s not all that simple, as if this ‘disease’ called ‘diabetes’ can so easily be cured. But let’s take this in a general way. We’ll deal in generalities here...averages...to figure things out... and we’ll use some common sense.

---First off, let me repeat and say it again...that I’m using ‘diabetes’ just as an example of what is true for a great, great proportion of all ‘diseases.’ But ‘diabetes’ is a good ‘disease’ to begin with, because it’s apperance and disappearance so clearly demonstrates what’s going on with so many diseases in general throughout our society, diseases that we’re dying from in massive amounts!

---Let me also point out again that there are basically two kinds of diabetes. The childhood kind (‘juvenile diabetes’) that relates largely to genetic factors, and the ‘late onset’ kind which, decades ago, used to occur in about 25% of people over the age of about 55. Now, in our current times, it occurs much earlier and more extensively...even in children, which is almost unheard of...and which circumstances will further justify the reasoning we’ll be using here in figuring things out.

THE REAL NATURE OF DISEASE AS WE KNOW IT

---For a moment, let’s loosely define ‘disease.’ We usually think of disease as ‘something’ that causes the body to become ‘damaged’ or to ‘not work properly’ in some manner, or to not be ‘normal’ in some respect. [This is a real non-medical, but everyday layman type of definition we can all identify with.] Furthermore, we can also say that ‘disease’ usually gives us some symptoms like aches or pains or fever, or a rash or a runny nose or coughing or whatever. You know that, right?

---...Okay. Agreed. It’s a ‘no-brainer’ to know what the term ‘disease’ is, at least the way ‘disease’ is commonly looked upon by the masses of the people, the way I’ve described it above.
---And I would add, that we often also think of ‘disease’ as having been ‘caused’ by something, like having caught a cold from a virus, or from having become exposed to or infected by some type of bacteria. Or perhaps we might refer to a ‘disease state,’ a diseased status of the body such as might come from some kind of allergic or autoimmune reaction or whatever, from having been exposed to or digested some type of food or incorporated some type of foreign body which the immune system of the body reacts against, and the symptoms and effects of which become the ‘disease state.’

---In a way, we could also say that since the virus or bacteria or foreign body or ‘allergic’ provoking food or whatever (to which the body is exposed) is the ‘cause’ of the disease, and that since these ‘causatic agents’ come from the surrounding environment in which we live, from outside our bodies [from the environment--from the prevailing place outside our bodies and wherein our bodies in a sense live and thrive, or die]...we could then say that ‘disease’ is in some general way interrelated to the environment.

---Now, that too, what I have just said is also a ‘no brainer’...practically ‘a given’!
---...Fact is, when we talk of a ‘disease’ or ‘disease status’ as having been ‘caused’ by the environment (as opposed to having been largely genetically inherited, although there is of couse an overlap between the two), we should also then be saying that there is a very good chance that we have control over the ‘disease’ or ‘disease status’ that results. [I said that in a different way above...I know.]

---Well, it stands to reason then, if we have the potential to have such control, we must therefore also come to the conlusion that if we change the environment in some way (related to the environmentally corresponding ‘disease’ or ‘disease status’)--such as by avoiding the virus or bacteria or food product--we must then be able to prevent the ‘disease’ or ‘disease status’ from occurring in the first place.

---What I've been saying here many people believe they already know, and perhaps they do, but I paraphrase it the way I have so that now we can take this thinking even further.

---Fact is, even in the face of a disease whose ‘cause’ is both genetic and environmental, by removing the environmental causatic factor, you can still have the genetic predisposition and never get the disease. It’s often the combination of the two that’s needed to ‘get you.’ For example, let's take a form of colon cancer, genetically predisposed, but brought out or manifested via the presence of nitrates and/or nitrates in meats. Remove the offending meats, and no matter the genetic predisposition, the cancer never gets to manifest itself or occur.

---All this too is a ‘no brainer.’ Really simple stuff, especially when you’ve studied and know the medicine. Pretty much documented, these types of scenarios, throughout the scientific and medical literature for years, decades, centuries even. All ‘givens’ to one degree or another, at least the concepts that are being demonstrated!

---So, again, what conclusions do you come to from the above little scenario and discussion?
Think...

---...The population of Aborigines in the segment of the popoulation studied, and while in their normal habitat, just about never got the ‘disease’ we call ‘diabetes.’ So let’s say they had never been chosen in the first place, as a study group to be domesticated. This would have meant that for them, going back even thousands of years, ‘diabetes’ would never have been a known disease.
---...After all, for them, their genetic make-up--in a sense having been ‘constructed’ to comply with the environment of their wild habitat for over thousands or millions of years--of course...if you take them out of their natural habitat (change of food being just one aspect of such change)...of course their bodies will react in some way abnormally. That's just common sense.

---And it just so happens that this ‘abnormal reaction’--or resultant ‘abnormal condition’ of their bodies secondary to the resultant changes--is something we today simply give the name ‘diabetes.’ And then we go on to say that ‘diabetes’ is a ‘disease,’ when in fact, it (the ‘late onset’ form of it for the most part) is actually nothing more than an ‘abnormal reaction’ and ‘resultant abnormal condition’ or ‘abnormal status’ of their bodies secondary to an ‘abnormal environmental change’ that is not compatible with their underlying genetic make-up.

---The term ('disease') never should have been applied in the first place. It makes people think, “Oh my goodness...I’m shuddering...I’m diseased...I’m diseased.” And then, “Oh my goodness...can somebody find a cure for this terrible disease!”

---Answer: “Yes Dodo-Bird. Simply change your environment back...and your so-called ‘disease’ is gone forever...caput...history!”

---You see, the physical body, or life for that matter--all living tissue on this planet--never developed alone over the eons, but always in context, genetically and in turn physically, as part and parcel of its surrounding environment!

---An extreme and obvious example of this same kind of thing would be to merely take the human body off the Planet Earth, and strand it, floating somewhere in outer space, with no atmosphere and no space suit. Of course it’s going to die. The human body evolved and developed genetically over the eons (or at least the 3 dimensional aspect of our existence appears to have done so) in accordance with the presence of an atmosphere containing oxygen as just one aspect of that surrounding environment. Take it out of that environment and of course it’s going to become sick, and in this case, immediately die. And you wouldn’t say that that person died of a ‘disease’!

---Although this might not appear to be the same as the diabetes example noted above, they are both merely variations of the principle of removing the individual from its prevailing environment, or changing its environment in some way, with a resultant corresponding deleterious effect on the body.
...Change the interrelationship with the environment in any way, by removing oxygen or breathing in a virus or ingesting a foreign agent or whatever, and the body is not going to function properly in some respect corresponding to the nature of the change. And if the change is strategic or entreme enough in some way, the body will simply die, and skip over the idea of just not functioning properly while remaining alive (which we call being sick or stricken with a disease). It’s as simple as that.

---So, in actuality, from the point of view of the Aboriginees (and probably for all of human-kind), diabetes is not a disease in the sense that we normally think of disease, since it occurs simply from an abnormal change in the environment or interrelation with it (with the environment). Change the environment or interrelation with it back to the way it was, and the abnormal condition of the body is gone. But of course, that all depends upon how long the body remained in the abnormal condition in the first place. After a period of time other changes in the body occur which are irreversible, no matter how much you might succeed in changing the environment ‘back.’

---...That’s why it’s so important to recognize the true nature of the cause of this ‘late onset’ type of diabetes, and other so-called ‘chronic diseases’ that we are massively dying from (from heart disease, stroke, vascular disease, autoimmune disease, even cancer to one degree or another)...’diseases’ that are environmentally caused or related in large part. We must recognize their true nature as interrelated with the environment so we can nip them in the butt, and stop the ‘disease’ processes (even a large part of so called aging) before they begin to take hold in the first place. Or, if they do begin, we must then change the environment ‘back’ as soon as possible, before too much in the way of irreversible damage is done that cannot be reversed!

---‘Changing back’ is actually a ‘tall order’ because it entails the environment of our genetic heritage going back eons of generations, to that of the lifestyle of Ancient Man!

---Few people today realize that their so-called ‘healthy’ lifestyles are alien to that of the lifestyle of Ancient Man, the lifestyle which if reverted back to in some way, is ‘curative’ of so many of these so-called diseases as well as many of the signs and symptoms otherwise improperly attributed to aging, but which (as you might have guessed by now) are really coming from abnormal environmental interrelation and change.

---I have, on the other hand, done what I was directed to do for the sake of preserving life, and so I studied Ancient Man, and learned to develop practical methods of application and lifestyle changes to simulate their ancient lifestyles in modern society, which accounts in part for the blindfolds I use in the gym, and the various motions and postures I make, and restrictive food intake, and so on.

---In other words, once again, it’s just common sense...a ‘no-brainer,’ to finally realize that from the point of view of the Aboriginee population (if none of them hypothetically ever got the disease in the first place in their normal habitat)...for them (as well as for the rest of us) ‘diabetes’ is not a ‘disease.’

---“Hello sir. I understand you are an Aboriginee. In your community, did you ever hear of anybody ever getting the disease called diabetes?”

---Aboriginee’s Answer: “Huh...what you talk about? Never heard of such disease. No such disease here...for Aboriginee!”

---Okay...we know from modern medicine that ‘late onset’ diabetes, for the most part, is abated, lessened, or even goes away completely if the diabetic does a combination of certain things, different for each person...perhaps loses weight, lays off sugar, fattening foods, and so on. And that’s what does happen. The diabetes, as tested by standard diabetic blood tests, for example, begins to lessen and go away. The degree to which this regression takes place all depends upon how well a given individual carries out the needed environmentally related changes regarding eating certain foods or less foods, or doing certain exercises, and so on.

---So, all this having been said, let me repeat what we have merely figured out from known observations. If a ‘lifetyle change’ can cause a diabetic blood test to go back to normal as if the person never had diabetes in the first place, is this diabetes thing really a disease the way we normally think of disease?
...How did we cure it? By losing weight? By eating the ‘right’ foods? or less foods? or by exercising and burning off the fat and so on, and thereby tending to normalize the metabolism of sugar within the body!

---I’d point out that going back to my medical school days, the diabetic regime proposed over forty years ago entailed eating fruits and vegetables, exercising, and not eating too much in the way of calories since excess calories, whatever the source (carbohydrate, protein, or fat) turns into or ends up as fat.

---...Hey!...this diabetic regime reminds me of something. It’s actually quite similar to the way the Aboriginees live in the wild! Hey, this diabetic regime also seems to parallel the lifestyle ways of our ancestors... the lifestyle they lived for millions upon millions of years. And they never got diabetes!

---Of course they didn’t have a diabetic blood test available to check for even the preliminary stages of diabetes, but they had no need to since all the late side effects comonly occurring today with diabetes-- the devastating neurological and vascular changes, and heart attacks and strokes, and so on...they never occured the way they routinely occur today. So they couldn’t have had diabetes!

---Oh you say that’s because they died in the wild at very young ages from Sabre Toothed Tigers, and that sort of thing. Well, enter, the long lived populations living in the world today, and which have been around for centuries. They don’t manifest the long term diabetic side effects either, not just Ancient Man, and these long-lived populations are just that...long lived. And they are here today, in modern times, primitive populations for the most part. living long lives...while our modern populations prematurely age and die!

---"Oh my goodness. All these deadly diseases! All this devastation! Family members dying from them everywhere! And financially, the destructive effects resulting from these diseases are permeating throughout every facet of our modern populations, and even financially bankrupting our health care system, and in turn entire societies!
---...While the ‘cure’ in good measure is here, merely in lifestyle change! Wow to the pathetic ignorance throughout the world. It’s been documented throughout the ages...the 'cures' have been here all along. The crying shame of it all. Shame on you society...why haven’t you told us? Our relatives, our loved ones have died. And we have been told there was no hope. Had we known this, it’s significance to the extent it is...had our friends and relatives known...they’d have wanted to live, and if it had meant the need to make lifestyle change, no matter how difficult, they’d at least have been given the chance to make a genuine and concerted effort!

---...Oh the pity of it all...they died in vain. Oh so many millions...Oh, oh what a crying shame.
---...this is not a game.
---...Such aching pain.
And it works this way, the same, with regard to at least the first thirty to forty years of becoming old...and aged.
