But Does It Really Have to Be This Way?

“Each individual must set aside his preferences for one direction or another and endeavor to accept things without any prejudice. It is impossible to say certain things without making one person or another feel uncomfortable. There are plenty of people today who regard it as a sin to even hint at certain facts, because they imagine that the mere mention of some fact or other is tantamount to taking sides – which is, of course, not the case at all.”

— Dr. Rudolf Steiner, The Karma of Untruthfulness (1916)

We live in a time when, from every quarter, people are being told that the only way to deal with communicable disease and chronic or terminal illness is through mainstream, materialistic medicine.

This prevalent, aggressive approach to dealing with psychological disease and physical illness is so powerfully driven by commercial interests, and narrowly focused on pharmaceuticals, genetic engineering, and artificial intelligence approaches, that all other ethical values and diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities have been relegated to second or third place, or have been driven out of the public consciousness altogether.

We have a pharmaceutical for this, we have a vaccine for that. Who is that we? Global financial interests, transnational pharmaceutical corporations, suppliers of expensive medical equipment, hospital chain and senior care conglomerates, the public and private institutions who depend on their funding for scientific and medical academic training and research, professional associations, financial and political interest groups masquerading as humanitarian charities, etc.

Often these pharmaceuticals and vaccines have unfortunate adverse effects, of themselves and/or through interaction with other drugs and vaccines.

People have been taught over time to heed the words of experts selling agendas rather than to place their faith and trust in those professionals more selflessly pursuing their work with objectivity and integrity.

People have been taught to depend on outer sources of information rather than deepening their own understanding of their own bodies, souls and spirits.

Great numbers have been conditioned to accept iatrogenic death and injury as a necessary evil when, in fact, too often they have arisen because of selfishness, greed, cold-hearted indifference and negligence.

How many law firms today are profiting from large class action lawsuits against pharmaceutical drug and vaccine makers whose products had been approved by government agencies for medical use, were marketed as safe and effective, and subsequently found to cause death or serious long-term injury?

How often have the serious health consequences caused by pharmaceuticals or vaccines been known to those employed by for-maximum-profit drug makers to conduct research and write studies?

How often have problems with research studies been suspected by peers who reviewed them for professional journals, all before the product was presented for government approval based on dishonest science?

How often have those same companies pressured government agencies to approve a pharmaceutical drug or vaccine in spite of the grave concerns of some of their own scientific and medical staff?

How often have those same companies then induced MDs, RNs and other healthcare providers to prescribe pharmaceutical drugs and administer vaccines by tempting them with financial incentives and various perks, while openly or covertly threatening those who do not follow wrongly established professional standards of practice?

How often have media moguls reaped hundreds of billions (dollars, pounds, euros, renminbis) in profits filling their printed pages, electronic media and social media platforms with paid advertisements and favorable coverage promoting those same unsafe pharmaceutical and vaccine products?

After decades of healing and medical study and practice, my answer is a resounding: NO, IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY.

No to the constraints placed on scientific and medical teaching and research, no to the constraints placed on healthcare professionals by associations and government agencies who have become mere vassals of large healthcare industries and their richest shareholders.

No to the traditional media, held in the hands of fewer and fewer oligarchs; no to the Internet providers, search engines and social media owners who have thoroughly embraced a materialistic worldview and recently devised global criteria for differentiating fact from phantasy based on maximizing financial profit.

No to for-maximum-profit pharmaceutical and vaccine advertising and public relations initiatives to discredit truly healthy nutritional and herbal recommendations, to delegitimize alchemical medicines whose benefits have been long established by doctors and patients over time — sometimes centuries, sometimes millennia. 

These propagandistic campaigns to mold public opinion under the guise of educating the public have created billions of fearful people, unsure of anything, who measure their thoughts, feelings, speech and acts against accepted norms that are leading to global corporate and totalitarian state control of the individual.

No, it does not have to be this way. 

You can seek reliable information about nutrition, herbal remedies and alchemical medicines for preventive health and as complementary or alternative therapies to address disease and illness.

You can find a caring, knowledgeable holistic healthcare provider who might present new avenues to explore and offer effective healthcare recommendations.

You are a divinely created individual with certain inalienable rights. As such, you are also called upon to be a responsible human being, an informed citizen, a conscientious producer, and a conscious consumer of products and services, including healthcare.

How in the world are you supposed to achieve those ends when you are already overtaxed by the demands of work, family and social life?

In the face of large social and environmental challenges, each of us has to fall back on the truth that every effort in the right direction produces a seed of future good. Many people exerting efforts in right directions produce many seeds for much future good.

Warm regards to people of good will everywhere,

Joseph Michael Contrada
