My question is: Which group do you aspire to be a part of?
The large almost unanimous group who know they are right and that what you and they were originally  taught, and what the majority currently believe,, will always remain correct?

Or might you rather be a part of the small and sometimes even tiny group who challenge your beliefs with other information which challenges or even contradicts all currently held mainstream beliefs.

The problem is that in many cases, your occupation, the respect of your colleagues, your ability to publish if you are a scientist, your job and therefore your income and ability to feed your family, and of course your overall reputation,  all hinge on your NOT falling into this fringe – which are challenging the mainstream’s accepted beliefs.

Personally, I aspire to learn, as soon as I possibly can, anytime that my beliefs and teachings have been shown to be WRONG – and to learn instead what the facts truly are.  Without this desire, I will not be able to be the best person I can, and to be the best at what I do.

There is only one way to accomplish this lofty goal and I challenge my listeners to strive to accomplish this.    It is a simple task that few professionals consider, and even fewer proceed to work towards.

Any time you hear something – which if it were true, would be very important for you to know and to change your existing beliefs  – you must investigate it PROPERLY.

What is the proper way to do this investigation — of absurd beliefs that you completely disagree with?  It is quite simple.  First, and the internet or the web should help a bit with this,  you need to locate as many credentialed experts as you can, who share this peculiar belief,  which completely disagrees with mainstream current ideas of what is true.

DO NOT contact anyone who shares the mainstream belief.  You are ONLY looking for experts with proper credentials such as MD, PhD, professor, etc, who for some as yet unknown reason actually believe this thing that you do not believe.

Now contact as many of them as you can and have them explain why they have changed their mind and no longer believe what most others still believe.  After you have listened, with an open mind, to three or four of these experts, you can now make your own personal decision.

I will list a few examples of areas of knowledge, in which my beliefs, from extensive investigational research, have changed so that they are no longer in agreement with mainstreams beliefs. But first I will read a couple of my favorite quotations, which I feel do a fabulous job of representing this entire problem.

First we have:
“What gets us into trouble is not what we don’t know,
it’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so.”
Correctly attributed to Josh Billings (but incorrectly attributed to Mark Twain by Al Gore in his movie an inconvenient Truth as well as and all over the web)

Second we have a quote from Michael Chrichton who said:
Let’s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus. There is no such thing as consensus science. If it’s consensus, it isn’t science. If it’s science, it isn’t consensus. Period.

Third we have: Epictetus Greek born Roman Philosopher  (55 AD – 135 AD) “IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANYONE TO BEGIN TO LEARN WHAT HE THINKS HE ALREADY KNOWS.”

Last we have: Herbert Spencer English philosopher
(27 April 1820 – 8 December 1903)
There is a principle which is a bar against all information,
Which is proof against all arguments, and
Which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance.
That principle is- contempt prior to investigation

I would personally amend that to read contempt prior to proper and adequate investigation as this is my next quick area of recommendations

You see it is completely impossible to be a forward thinker, and to join the very small group who work to  learn facts that have been accepted differently for year or decades, unless you make this one fairly simply change in the way you investigate new concepts and information.  If you wish to join this small elite outsiders group, even though membership will not make you very popular, you need to no longer ask your friends, colleagues or professors for their opinions when one of these controversial issues is being investigated.  You now need to ask only the experts who are on the side of this new belief that you do not share, as I outlined a few minutes ago.

Okay, now you are ready to hear the areas of knowledge that I am currently listing which fall into this arena.  I will add new ones as I think of them or come across them,  or get emailed others that a reader thinks I should add to my list.  They are not in any order so just choose one that would be important to you.
I will try to always put in a few experts names or books or videos for you to use in your search for the truth.  Obviously the “mainstream” will consider all these experts to be fools, but I think that mainstream “experts” need to look in the mirror when they are calling someone a fool

Written below are some of the myths (or maybe we should call them lies?) which you need to investigate (unless you already know some of them are completely wrong and you are already in the minority but more knowledgeable group for that piece of knowledge)

1) Silver amalgam dental fillings are safe, and the 50-52% mercury that they contain, proven since the mid 1970’s to be releasing into your body 24 hours a day, is not and will not cause you any harm.
Mercury Undercover DVD also go to http://www.IAOMT.org and watch some of their 34 videos on mercury.  Google Norwegian dental nurses documentary and see if you can still watch the movie for free on line

2) Cholesterol is a harmful substance.  Drugs such as statins should be used to keep your total cholesterol below 200 for improved health. Be careful not to let your total or LDL cholesterol get too high or your risk of heart disease goes way up.  Eating chicken skin, beef fat,  egg yolks, coconut oil  and butter will cause heart disease due to their being saturated fats.
Many articles on my web page and some MP3’s (more coming) also these web pages http://www.SpaceDoc.net  And http://www.THINCS.org  And these books: Cholesterol Clarity by Jimmy Moore, The Cholesterol Myths by Uffe Ravnskov M D, PhD, The Statin Damage Crisis by Duane Graveline MD, Lipitor Thief of Memory by Duane Graveline, The Great cholesterol Myth.  Or just search cholesterol books by Duane Graveline, Uffe Ravnskov, Joseph Mercola, Jimmy Moore, Sherry Rogers and other physicians and researchers who have examined this myth.

3) Adult and childhood vaccines have been properly researched and have been shown to be effective to do what they are claiming to do and have been proven safe and also have been proven not to cause developmental issues and autism in children
The experts are: Dr. Sherry Tenpenny, Dr. Gary Null, Dr Tim O’Shea, Dr. Vera Scheibner, Meryl Dorey, Dr Andrew Wakefield, and the National Vaccine Information Center.  Books include: Vaccine Epidemic, Saying No To Vaccines by Sherri Tenpenny, Vaccination is Not Immunization By Tim O’Shea, Immunization the reality behind the myth by Wallene James, The Vaccine Safety Manual by Miller, Vaccination Roulette by Australian Vaccination Network, and Callous Disregard by Andrew Wakefield

4) Fluoride added to municipal drinking water has been proven to reduce tooth decay and has not been shown to be harmful to the public in ways such as increased hip fractures, increased cancer, and various emotional,  neurological, and developmental problems in children and adults.
Movie DVD Fluoridegate
Many DVD’s covering fluoride issues at http://www.IAOMT.org including
Let the Truth Be Told Volume’s 1 and  2 (and others)
Books Fluoride Deception by Christopher Bryson, The Case Against Fluoride by Paul Connett, and  Fluoride the Aging Factor by John Yiamouyiannis

5) The events which occurred in New York City On September 11th 2001, often referred to as the World Trade Center attacks of 9/11, have been thoroughly investigated and it was determined that the planes which hit the twin towers were orchestrated by Al-Qaeda extremists and caused the towers to come down, and that the office fires in World Trade Center building 7 is why that 3rd building came down. This was scientifically proven by the government’s NIST (National Institute for Standards and Technology) report. OR—-
The best non fanatical scientifically accurate information I have seen on this subject is available from the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth and is on their web site at http://www.AE911Truth.org , I recommend you begin by viewing a copy of their documentary video entitled The Experts Speak or the possibly easier to understand Movie they also sell entitled The Anatomy of a Great Deception (check if this one is still available online for free at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0Q5eZhCPuc
Watch these documentaries with some friends and have a discussion as to what you each think of the evidence the videos show and explain. This whole subject scares me a great deal, but I try NOT to allow either fear, or disbelief, from deterring me to search for the real truth in everything.

6) GMO’s (Genetically modified foods) have been shown to be safe and only fanatics are terrified about how many of them are already in our food supply and the damage they are causing and may cause
Movie DVD Scientists Under Attack
Movie DVD Genetic Roulette (and the book of the same title) by Jeffrey Smith
Movie DVD A Silent Forest
Movie DVD The World According to Monsanto
Movie BT Cotton in Andhra Pradesh – A Three Year Fraud  if you can find a copy on line that has not been pulled off due to massive pressure, probably from Monsanto try this addresshttp://www.cultureunplugged.com/play/6031/Bt‑Cotton‑in‑Andhra‑Pradesh‑‑A‑Three‑Year‑Fraud 
Movie A Disaster in Search of Success – BT Cotton in Global South try this address
Book  Seeds of Deception by Smith

7) EMF’s EMR electromagnetic frequencies and radiation from cell phones, cordless phones, WiFi, Smart Meters, and more have all been proven to be safe and the millions of people who believe otherwise are demented, psychiatrically ill, or conspiracy theorists.
Books: Cell phones by Dr. George Carlo, Zapped by Anne Louise Gittleman, The Invisible Disease by Nordstrom, Silent Fields & Dirty Electricity by Fisher, Web sites to look at: http://EmfSafetyNetwork.org/,  http://www.StopSmartMeters.org, http://www.bioinitiative.org,

8) The United States is still a free country where you have freedom of speech, the right of privacy and due process under the law if you are accused of something by a government official and will have your time in court and a jury of your peers. And also that capitalism is working as a healthy way to have a good government with a true democratic process.
If you believe that this is still true, I highly recommend that you read   the books (or buy the audio books) entitled
a. The End of America, Letter of  Warning to a Young Patriot by        Naomi Wolfe  and also her YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f0sBA61L0Y
b. The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein
You may be surprised at how many important things about our country you don’t realize have been and are happening.  We cannot try to change for the better, that which we don’t know about.
c. Hacking Democracy, an HBO documentary about our voting machines and is important for you to watch.  It used to be available for free to watch on both YouTube and on Hulu.  First the YouTube one got pulled and now the Hulu one has been pulled.  I guess some powerful people do not want the public to see this important  documentary, so now you must purchase the DVD if you want to watch it.  Please pass it around after you buy a copy from either http://www.hackingdemocracy.com or see if Amazon still carries it at a discount.

9) Ozone is a harmful gaseous pollutant.  It should never be breathed in any concentration and it should absolutely never be introduced in any manner into the human blood stream.  Anyone who uses ozone generators to supposedly clean the air in their home is a fool and is harming their lungs and their skin.  Anyone who uses medical ozone treatments for dental or whole body protocols is even more foolish.
Ozone, a Medical Breakthrough? Is a documentary which is still available on YouTube for freehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj6qBuNXumo.   Another very good article on ozone is on my website at  https://naturopath4you.com/PDFs/Understanding%20ozone.pdf

11) If you would like to do some more investigations into how we have been and are continuing to be misled my mainstream “science”, here are a few very interesting books. They are all also available in unabridged versions, from Audible.com if, like me, you enjoy listening as you drive (or while you exercise). You may be, as I was, very surprised at just how much of what we are fed as the truth, is actually far from it. I knew this was true in my field of nutrition and holistic medicine, but I was not prepared for how many other fields of “science” have been bastardized in the same way. If you read (or listen to) some of these books, please let me know what you think. Good reading, here are the titles.

Sex At Dawn by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá. Although this book is directed to the pre-historic origins of human sexuality, it has a great deal more information and research as well.

The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein, explodes the myth that the global free market triumphed democratically. Exposing the thinking, the money trail and the puppet strings behind the world-changing crises and wars of the last four decades.

Forbidden Archeology by Michael A. Cremo and Richard L. Thompson and also Our Occulted History by Jim Marrs Both of these books clearly outline scientific research which has been and is being buried by current scientists and governmental agencies so as to keep our beliefs about our history, where they want them to be.

Who Discovered America by Gavin Menzies So, you think that Christopher Columbus discovered America? You may be surprised by what the facts actually show.

A People’s History of the United States: 1492 to Present by Howard Zinn What kinds of completely unethical, disgusting, power grabbing, gross, sadistic (and many other even worse descriptive words) were perpetrated on the many native populations of what is now the United States. When we look at our current state of equal rights for women, blacks, Indians, etc. in U.S. Society, it is helpful to compare it to our disgusting historical treatment of any population that was not “in Power”. I feel that books like this and the ones above, should be required reading by our school children prior to college. Of course this can never happen since the powers that be do not wish this information to become general knowledge.

Another book, that I read many decades ago in my late teens or early 20’s and which I also feel this way about, is entitled Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin

12) In order to make sure that we have enough food to feed the population of our planet we need to stop raising, grazing and eating cattle (for beef and lamb, etc.) and become vegetarian or vegan. Cattle and other animal grazing is destroying the planet and is using up our precious natural resources in a very wasteful manner. We should just grow and eat plants.

The above statements may be politically correct but they are exactly opposite of the truth. The best resources to begin your factual education include:

Start by watching the TED talk by Alan Savor on fighting the Desertification of our land here-

Then read as many of the following books as you wish depending on how much you wish to learn and how much ignorance you wish to rid yourself of..

Meat – A benign Extravagance by Simon Fairlie – Cows Save the Planet by Judith Schwartz Holy Shit by Gene Logsdon – Folks, this ain’t normal by Joel Salatin

After you have read and investigated some of these experts and their facts, you may now be surprised that so many people have been snowed into believing things that are not now, and have never been true. Welcome to my world.

13) People live much longer today than we used to in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s when people only lived to be around 40 or 45 Actually this is an oft perpetrated myth that is used to make us believe that our fantastic (but it’s not) modern medicine and better foods have greatly extended our lives. In fact, the word average is continually used in order to mislead the public by producing false or at least very misleading statistics. Let me explain. First, if you go to old cemeteries, as has been done by researchers, you will find a large number of people who were born in the 1800’s and who lived well into their 80’s and 90’s based on the birth and death dates on their tombstones. The biggest difference was that back then, even though we now feel that we know more about how to treat heart disease and cancer, the older people died of old age, not cancer and heart disease. Their often exceptional health was due to the far lower amount of poisonous commercial and household chemicals, drugs, pesticides, etc, that they were exposed to during the lives and it their foods. We simply had not invented all these poisons yet. Industry has the nerve to call this “better Living through chemistry” . In fact thousands of these chemical and prescription drugs are currently listed by their manufacturers as having been proven to be cancer causing, nerve destroying riddles with side effects or worse, deadly.. It is well recognized and accepted by many experts that indoor plumbing and our knowledge of sanitation has helped to limit the number of children who now die before they reach their 10th birthday. Sanitation is the greatest cause of life extension and disease prevention worldwide. When properly and thoroughly researched, our food is worse, our medicine only helps in certain cases, and vaccines have done nothing but harm us, and make profits for their manufacturers. I am still waiting for the very first properly done 5 year or longer double blind placebo controlled study on ANY vaccine. This research will probably will never be done even though the publics believes that it has been. In addition to our misuse of the word average, we also are led to believe that the U.S. has one of the best healthcare system and the best health of world populations. Considering we oscillate between 30 and 40th in infant mortality and we are not even in the top 10 in adult life expectancy you would think there would be an uprising to repair our broken medical establishment and bring us up to where we should be. Nope, too many people don’t know ANY of the information I have written in this section of my web site, and arrogant ignorance proudly prevails in medicine and medical schools and in politics. I keep hoping that if I continue disseminating factual scientific information, teaching classes and helping people improve their health, maybe I will live to see some beneficial changes in my country before I die. Seems like I keep seeing things get worse as those with power continue to do what is best for their pocketbooks in the short term, and far worse for our country and our economy in the current and long term. Stay tuned. I’ll keep trying. These links will bring you to references which back up what I have written above. Meat – A benign Extravagance by Simon Fairlie – Cows Save the Planet by Judith Schwartz Holy Shit by Gene Logsdon – Folks, this ain’t normal by Joel Salatin

After you have read and investigated some of these experts and their facts, you may now be surprised that so many people have been snowed into believing things that are not now, and have never been true. Welcome to my world.
