If you at one point have thought that there surely must be reason why there is such an abundance of conspiracy theories and/or have ejaculated to the presented ideas in The Invisibles, then know this: some of it is valid.

An excellent site, where a large portion of power is taken out, is this: www.waisays.com, but be warned that what you find and digest there may be a little bit more than you can handle.

Um, well it should.

There have been forces that have tried to close the gates to the site, and severely diminish the availability of it. To the ones who has access, learn, and to the ones who can read between the lines, yes you are right, there is a lot more to come.

The problem, Rz, with RRM's link is the comma and full stop at the end. Try this: www.waisays.com

I know that the site is a very large one and time is needed to digest everything, but can anyone guess where this goes next? Does anyone have a vague idea of what will happen?

If so, let's begin exchanging notifications, there may be something to be learnt from there.

Ok.

I have been waiting to get at the very least a reply from one of you. To hear where you think this is going, trust me, this is going to be highly interesting, the connections are going to be astounding.

Oh, and another website that will be in your interest:
www.thinktwice.com

I'm out for now.

ReformedRobotMan, may I ask what is so exciting about the prospect of changing your diet? What do you think is so interesting? Please tell me, what I am missing, because all that I can see will happen is that my breath will stink and my bowels will be runny.

Damn.

I had at east hoped that there would be a single one among you lot that could connect the dots.

Herne, the site isn't about changing your diet, it merely provides a service for those who wish to do so.

Have you read the damn articles? Checked the scientific evidences backing it up?

Herne, wouldn't you say that information detailing why your mother caught x-disease is essential? Would she have changed her diet with this knowledge? It is doubtful, because we're all junkies, craving some certain substances from food.

I have to stop myself from blowing too much, not everybody's ready.
The few of you who can connect a lot are as always very welcome to personally contact me.

Well, I've just checked the site you mentioned at the top and am rather unimpressed. One or two facts smothered in scads of bollocks frankly.
I'm also inherently dubious about a site that doesn't automatically work on Netscape. too much effort for them?

Well I had high hopes, but you gits are rather, how we say, how we say, too unintelligent to get it.

Oh ReformedRobotMan, what else should I have expected from a lot raised on shit and looking it all the while.

Smelly breath and runny bowels? One or two facts smothered in scads of bollocks? The fact that it doesn't work properly in Netscape makes you dubious?

Yes. yes, yes you're all right. This is bullshit that the people behind it has been working on in innumerous years, who have gone online with this as a preparation to What Comes Next.

I dare you to oppose, but do it based on biochemistry, do it with knowledge that you can reference to, otherwise you know what you can do, don't pay attention.

RRM: interesting sites and both valid viewpoints (I'm more inclined to subscribe to the nutrition than the anti-vaccination one, myself) but just as both emphasise (and, in the case of the second site, overemphasise) the 'danger' of subscribing to the medical/pharmaceutical orthodoxy, there are risks in accepting these viewpoints at face value - particularly authoritative claims to know the CAUSE of disease. I'm well aware myself of the unreliability of a huge percentage of commonly-accepted 'research', and one has to rigorously scrutinise every study for flaws.

Evidence-based practice is the way ahead, but beware of replacing one orthodoxy with an even shakier set of beliefs. And calling people stupid is never a great sales technique...

Dear Garnish,

If there is something that have authoritative claims to know (or in many cases: not know) the causes of diseases it is the governments around the world coupled with the food industries, and this has gone on longer than some would wish. Including me.
And most of this has been known for many years by some people, with no efficient way of sharing the information. Suppose the waisays site does indeed have the facts straight, why would the gov's and food industries allow so many people to deteriorate? To weaken to the point of deviation? And why are they still actively pursuing other people in other countries to get addicted to their products? I mean, if it was just about economy, I wouldn't give a tosser.
And I strongly believe that to counterbalance some wrongs, you have to be fiercer (because of the massive scale at the opposite side) so I approve of the way wai has conducted her business.

The reason why I posted the message here is not coincidental and purposeless. Among you who are reading these, there exists an extraordinarely gifted individual, whose impact on this world will be tremendous, but doesn't fully know it yet.

And I would very much like to get in touch with that individual.

(Nice crack with the name.)

My point was that no one viewpoint 'has the facts straight' - 'disease' is not that straightforward an entity. I'm medically trained, many would say I've bought into the medical orthodoxy. I too can produce plausible jargon, sound authoritative, patronising, rude or even 'mystical'. I can make equally heartfelt claims to 'explain' the 'cause' of disease, and I can make specific recommendations based on my own extensive reading of a different (but equally 'authentic') set of journal articles.

Would what I said be valid - or would I merely be acting as a mouthpiece for a global medico-pharmaceutical conspiracy?

I certainly wouldn't argue that food industries don't have a vested interest in selling their product to as much of the world's population as possible. I'd also agree that 'feeding the world's starving' is largely hampered by the human tendency to be greedy, irrational and self-serving.

Two and two, however, do not make twenty-three. The medical orthodoxy has much to recommend it (like vaccination, in my opinion); be wary of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

And don't be deliberately opaque for the sake of it.

But Ganesh (sorry about the typo), if indeed you were to publish some information that, for instance, eating feces is good or drinking only carrot juice prolongs your life, there is one easy way to find out: try it.

But one of the other reasons why you'd have a hard time is because of the fact that there are certain substances in food that not only cause addiction but which also causes apathy, for instance food with opioids like wheat and milk products, that and the reluctance to spread awareness about the facts detailed in waisays makes it crucial to be loud louts. Because that will serve a purpose (I know, I know...I shouldn't be opaque, but the moment has yet to arrive when you're all ready), so far what I have given the passages to is the most harmless. I would very much like to share, but then it would fall to deaf ears.

Yep. Trial and error is the only way to determine for certain whether any given 'treatment' works in any given individual. The whole aim of 'medical science', however, is to assemble a body of objective evidence upon which to make individual choices - and minimise the risk of embarking on a harmful or useless path.

And yeah, it's useful to consider evidence from any and all sources - but it should always be evaluated as critically as possible. Your blithe (and increasingly opaque/mystical) statements about 'the facts' are little different from me saying 'trust me, I'm a doctor'...

I think you're overstating the conspiracy angle here. But then, I would say that, wouldn't I?

RRM- For every single proof that Wai produces that the corporations are all evil scum trying to enslave us through our carrots, the evil corporations can produce 3 proofs that they are lovely and benevolent and their food is great.
Trusting Wei because she is not a big corporation makes as much sense as trusting the madman with the gun not to shoot you because he's just 'confused'.
Personally I think you need to chill out a bit, but then I'm part of the conspiracy, so I would say that. Keep that foil hat fresh!

The health angle I have no problem with, we should all have a balanced diet; good eating makes for good feeling.

But to seriously suggest that food and pharmecuetical companies are conspiring, with government approval, to give us all cancer, Parkinson's, heart disease etc is beyond credibilty. Why would they? They have to eat it too. Or maybe they have the cure.

I have been living on a diet of poison for ages, and recognise it, and am in the process of sorting all kinds of shit out in my life. I am, honestly, grateful to you, RRM for pointing me to this site and its suggestions. But don't expect my gratitude to extend to buying the ideology or taking the bait of your "I know what Will Happen Next, but you Are Not Ready," line of bullshit.

I'm off to munch some Brazil nuts.

(In response to Ganeth):

Yes you would Ganeth, you, the psychiatrist, would.

Sorry for the delay, I was having my sensous beauty sleep and was later on detracted from the www-life I have assumed.

Ganeth, people in your profession have spread mistrust and misinformation, advisinf and 'curing' people with problems and diseases, acting as local officials in the medical field over a herd, let's give a very short, loud applause right now, people, but wait...Has medical science minimised the abundant harmful and useless alternative paths?
Behold the strong increase of diseases in the past years, likewise with the increase of members of pseudolifestyles and the use of pseudopharceuticals.
And two very confused questions to you Ganeth (and everyone else): why would the medical field still search for pharmaceutical cures when the information about food has been around for ages? Why don't the medical field inform people about all of this?

Why are we perpetually told to consume more of food that has all of these undesired effects? How can the dumbing down of people by feeding them formula milk in their infancies still be allowed to exist? In whose interest is it that the human race is mutated into something piss-ass inferior?
See, these are some of the questions that we'll be able to answer to the ones willing to listen and learn, and I know that there is at least one among you. And as for me pissing off people with my great sales-techniques, it's not what we're about, we are not 'selling' and, sure, we want people exposed to the site and decide for themselves, or as I see it: the natural selection process, where the weaker, brainwashed opioid junkies fuck off into their selfmade mediocre hell. But this 'exposition' part, Ganeth, where would you ever find a forum, but the internet, where they'd be willing to make available The Truth? TV-paid for by the government/ large companies with ties to food companies with ties to the governments. Newspapers-paid advertisement by large companies with ties to etc., owned by large companies with ties to etc. Radio? And because of the sheer scope of the World Wide Web and with the restrictions that waisays has encountered, do you think that the availability is tops?
As I stated before, if the repression of the info was only out of economy preservation, I wouldn't have cared, but there are evil things going on, my intial promise of elevating this all into Invisibles-style conspiracies (perhaps Grant, the magician, wrote all this into existence, oh, how I'd love to damn him if not his stories were so entertaining) is not an empty one, nor is it undocumented. Just not now.
Oh, and Ganeth? Never ever insinuate that I'm veering off into mystical pseudobabble, and if I seem to do that, I do so outside the medically documented info inside both sites.

(And no, I mean stronghold, but they must not have hired efficient constructers, because we, amongst others, have begun deconstructing their foundation, and any time now it'll collapse)

Firstly, thanks for exposing your own prejudices if little else.

Secondly, 'disease' is not a single entity which can be 'cured' solely through dietary manipulation or by refusing vaccination. Those working within the field of medical science continue to push for pharmaceutical remedies (amongst others) because there are many, many areas where the more 'orthodox' remedies are extremely effective.

And doctors DO advise generally on healthy eating - although I suspect most of us don't go into the same detail as on the nutrition website. I certainly wouldn't suppress it, though: I'm always happy to refer on to a dietician or nutritionist who'll know more about the subject than myself. Hell, I'd even refer people to

Wai's website! The anti-vaccination one, however, I'm not so keen on.

You make a hell of a lot of assumptions about orthodox medicine and those who practise it. There IS no single 'The Truth'. If your talk of 'evil', messiahs and such isn't 'mystical' bullshit, what is it?

Sure Ganesh Darling.

It must be hard with such an unyielding, disagreeing bastard such as me making your piss boil. And don't try to deny what I've written before, you go to great pathetic lengths to maintain some Beautiful Sentiments but I'll never comply to lies. I can keep on repeating myself but I'm sure I don't have to at the moment.

And it is not a Messiah, you girly trash, it is an ordinary human being who has the ability to make people dream of more.

I don't mean to be so rough on you especially, Ganeth, but I'll if I have to, and so far I had to.

Er, isn't that pretty much everyone? The beauty of dreams is that we've all got them, and we can all inspire them. The imagination is not a realm of the elite.

I did have a number of comments to make regarding the sites you mentioned (dietary correlations with the eating patterns of professional ballet dancers and the recent debate of whether it is worthwhile for a pharma company to continue research on a Herpes vaccine that will only benefit women), but honestly, unless you're interested in carrying on a rational discussion rather than shit-flinging like a cranky monkey, then there doesn't seem to be much point.

Ganesh, you are a scamp.

RRM, it's unfortunate that your basically humane concern is getting buried by all the crank anti-doctor sentiment and misdirected anger, but there is an interesting point to be drawn here. There does seem to be a growing fear and mistrust of pharmaceuticals and physicians who appear to rely on them for treatment. Is it a real problem, or just an overblown misreading?

Ray Fawkes: whether or not there's a growing distrust of pharmaceuticals, we live in a 24-hour quick-fix makeover culture, and I still find the vast majority want an instant solution to their problem. More often than not, I find myself in the position of advising on sleep hygeine or anxiety management techniques to disgruntled punters who can't understand why I won't just prescribe Valium. Similarly, when I did my Child Psychiatry stint, it seemed many parents would rather pump their kids full of any old sedative rather than look at the way they were managing what was basically bad behaviour. I guess that's why the 'doctors are evil drug-peddlers' argument sticks in my throat a little.

I know it's an old hobby-horse of mine but, where Psychiatry is concerned, it often appears that those who are seriously mentally-ill and actually NEED medication (most acutely-psychotic paranoid schizophrenics, for example) won't accept it, while the needier of the 'worried well' want nothing more than to be force-fed anxiolytics for life. The hardest part of the job is separating 'em.

Ok, living at The End Of The World has its advantages, I need not be afraid of being open with my knowledge to my sorroundings, but the downside is this: my W3 access is limited, so either someone will be kind enough to email me the last page, or be unkind enough to so nonetheless.

Your reward? It is getting to be the time when I'll stop teasing and present it all. This will help me determine so.
