Healthcare
What is that really?
Disclaimer: I am not a doctor; I don’t play one on TV. I am giving my researched opinion in this piece. Be an adult and do your own homework before following any of this advice! You are made in the Image of God (Genesis 1:27), given a brain and the ability to reason (Isaiah 1:18). Don’t wait to be spoon fed information that you need, you live in a time that more information is available at your fingertips than at any time in human history. Use discernment because both truth and lies are out there.
In my book, Blessings & Curses: if my people…, in the introduction you will find the following:
In the book The Psychology of Totalitarianism, is this line, “Stories consist of words, words that can mean anything; they have no solid, rational relationship to facts.” I found it ironic that the author, Mattias Desmet, was making the case in his book that words can be a very imprecise way of conveying information and ideas. Ironic because he was doing so in a book of hundreds of pages of words—just as I am doing by writing this book! He is not wrong. It is the best we have so we must strive to understand the meaning of the words as the author or speaker understood them if we are to comprehend the information or ideas trying to be conveyed. Words can have multiple meanings; those meanings can evolve over time, essentially taking focused effort to truly understand.
At the end of 2025 we had a government shutdown over Obamacare subsidies where the Democrats were saying that without these subsidies that we were taking away people’s healthcare. Is that true or were we really arguing about who was going to be paying for people’s medical interventions, managing their chronic diseases, paying for their prescription drugs? We must begin by understanding that people are responsible for their own healthcare, whatever that entails. Since some of this can be very expensive, we have insurance available to help mitigate the cost. So, the shutdown was not about healthcare, it was about funding. We need to quit calling that “healthcare” because it is not.
It is all about money, not about making people healthy. Healthy people are terrible customers for the medical and pharmaceutical industries. Businesses like recurring revenue. Sick people facilitate that; healthy people do not. We do not want to believe this, we want to believe that the system only wants the best for us, wants us to be healthy. We do not want to contemplate living in a world where big business puts profit over people’s health and wellbeing. We don’t want to believe that the people that run these enterprises are that callous, but they are. That is the system.
I believe that most people that decide to become a doctor, a nurse, or become a scientist developing pharmaceutical drugs got into it to help people, and that is laudable. Unfortunately, the medical and pharmaceutical industries were taken over by the likes of John D. Rockefeller. A system was created to sell chemicals, drugs, pharmakeia. Doctors are trained to identify symptoms and then follow a protocol of prescribing drugs to relieve those symptoms. Since this system is designed to never really look for the root causes of problems but only stops at identifying symptoms, the prescribed drugs will likely be required for the foreseeable future, a customer for life! Any side effects of these drugs will result in new symptoms requiring another drug. Wash, rinse, repeat. This system is a money machine and that explains why the medical industry, “healthcare spending,” accounts for about 18% of the United States GDP! Since the United States GDP in 2025 was about $30.6 trillion, the “healthcare spending” represents about, $5.5 trillion! Who is paying this $5.5 trillion? The Federal and State governments (your taxes!), employers though employer paid health insurance premiums, and individuals through insurance premiums and co-pays along with their out-of-pocket maximums. Consider that someone is receiving every one of those $5.5 trillion and they will do anything and everything to keep that money coming (and increase it!).
Acute care and chronic care are two different things. The medical industry is good at acute care. I want a doctor to fix a broken arm or suture a laceration. But a medical doctor is not the best person to give you advice about preventing or healing chronic disease. There are some that have made that leap, but most have very little real education in nutrition and natural approaches that worked before Rockefeller mucked it all up.
Businesses are measured by growth. How do you grow this industry? You need more sick people. You need sicker people. That is what we call healthcare!
Unfortunately, we are victims of a system that has been created over the last century to century and a half. We have been told lies. We are told that grocery stores are full of food; they do have some good food in the produce section, the meat and dairy coolers but even some of this can be suspect. Most of the middle of the store is full of boxed, bottled, and canned substances that are full of chemicals in the form of preservatives, pesticides, herbicides, artificial food colorings, high fructose corn syrup, and seed oils. All of those things wreak havoc on your gut microbiome and your metabolism. In the produce section, most is not organic meaning that it has been sprayed with glyphosate, fungicides, pesticides and herbicides which are still present when you eat it. None of that was meant to be consumed by human beings. The meat is probably from a CAFO facility. This produces unhealthy animals that were fed an unnatural diet and injected with hormones and antibiotics which are still in the meat (and dairy) that you eat. In the dairy case, we destroy milk with pasteurization and homogenization and then remove all or most of the healthy saturated fat. We also find yogurt with added sugar or high fructose corn syrup. This is the fuel for chronic disease!
We can usually identify poisons because when we are exposed to them, we get ill or die pretty quickly. The food system above poisons us but very slowly so we don’t recognize the cause and effect. We don’t associate our daily choices with what these very small doses of daily poison are doing to our bodies. If we don’t recognize the cause and effect, we will not be able to address the cause and mitigate the effect. Now you know that the standard American diet is poisoning us a little every day; it is one of the major causes as to why over 60% of American’s have at least one chronic disease.
It is amazing how the rise of the medical industrial complex, the pharmaceutical industrial complex, the science industrial complex, and the industrial food complex parallels the rise of chronic disease. Medicine was corrupted when Rockefeller took over the medical schools, redefined the system and pushed out natural, homeopathic medicine to favor patentable high profit manmade drugs. Food was corrupted when we began industrial farming. We began monocropping, requiring massive amounts of fertilizer, pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides instead of working with nature integrating both animals and crops on the same land, rotating crops and allowing the land to rest (Leviticus 25:1-7), which actually strengthens the soil and creates healthier animals. Science is at the heart of all of this. Scientists create the drugs, and the chemicals required in “modern” agricultural practices. Scientists also created plastics which it has been said that many people are consuming about a credit card of plastic per week in the form of microplastics. Microplastics are the result of the degradation of plastic items into tiny particles that are breathed in or swallowed. These plastics are not inert; they can cause circulatory issues, and they can act like estrogen in the body causing hormonal issues. Some ways this happens is that we use plastic cutting boards, purchase products in plastic containers instead of glass, store food in plastic instead of glass, reheat food in plastic instead of glass. All of this leaches plastic into our food and beverages. This plastic builds up over time and eventually contributes to chronic disease. Because this happens so slowly, we don’t realize that this is the cause of so many issues.
You can fix this (this is how you begin to care for your health). Eat only whole foods. Choose organic to eliminate/minimize all of the chemicals listed in the last paragraph. Eat only ruminant animal meats that are grass fed/grass finished. Eat wild caught fish that have fins and scales. Pork is not meant for human consumption, and neither are shellfish. See Leviticus 11 for details about why God made some animals for food and others for other purposes; they are the “cleanup crew.” The cleanup crew eats anything and everything. Remember, you are what you eat, and you are what you eat eats. It takes effort to prioritize health over convenience. Shopping will take more effort; meal preparation can take more time as you must actually cook using raw ingredients, nothing out of a box! Eating out should be minimized due to the fact they are serving all of the things that you shouldn’t eat, things that fuel chronic disease. You can win this battle when you prioritize health and longevity over convenience and simplicity.
Vaccines are another thing fueling chronic disease. I know, vaccines are supposed to prevent disease, and some may. Unfortunately, this is another place where we have been seriously lied to. Many vaccines are made with aluminum, mercury, and now mRNA, which are detrimental to human health. In many cases no real studies have been done to confirm efficacy or safety of the vaccines. Doctors are taught to vaccinate. Pharmaceutical companies pay doctors to push vaccines and then doctors get to treat the side effects and chronic conditions that these vaccines frequently produce. You can begin your research into this at Children’s Health Defense. Consider not being a pin cushion funding this entire system. Consider never getting another vaccine once you have done your own homework and realize what is really happening. Instead, do everything within your power to strengthen your immune system. Your body was created to protect itself and heal itself if we give it what it requires to do that and avoid putting things in that destroy it.
Exercise is another key piece of the puzzle in caring for your health. A sedentary lifestyle leads to all sorts of health problems. Exercise strengthens the body and keeps us mobile. Without exercise we become weak and frail. Exercise can be a simple as going for a walk, try to get 10,000 steps or more per day. Add a little resistance training which could just be body weight exercises to build muscle. You do not need a gym membership. Exercise should push you a little, you should feel it. You will be uncomfortable. You can choose to be slightly uncomfortable as you exercise, or you will be uncomfortable due to the chronic disease that takes hold of your body. Choose wisely. Not choosing is to choose.
I opened this piece with a quote, “Stories consist of words, words that can mean anything; they have no solid, rational relationship to facts.” To take this to the extreme, we call the murder of unborn children, abortion, “healthcare.” This “healthcare” is guaranteed to result in at least one death. Can you see the absurdity? Call it what it is, “Murder;” this is not healthcare. Don’t fall for the lie.
We have been sold a lie that when you hit forty it is all downhill, that we can expect our health to get steadily worse as we get older. Yes, in our lifetimes that does seem to be the normal state of affairs. Consider Moses. He died at 120 years old. He was called by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt when he was already 80 years old. He led them out of Egypt and to Mt. Sinai at 80. That journey itself was a very long march, out of Goshen, across the Sinai Peninsula, through the parted Red Sea and then onward to the mountain. Read that story in Exodus. Take note of how many times that 80-year-old man, Moses, was called up the mountain and then sent back down to speak to the children of Israel. It was many times; he was 80 years old. My wife and I traveled to Saudi Arabia in 2023, went to Mt. Sinai, and climbed the mountain. I was 58 and my wife 56; significantly under 80. We successfully climbed the mountain starting at 5,000 feet (that is the elevation where the Israelites camped) and climbed to well over 7,000 feet. We were successful, first because God allowed it (Psalm 24:3-4), but also because we trained. We walked many very long walks over many months at a brisk pace to build endurance. We lifted weights to build our strength. It was still a difficult climb. Moses was in better shape, healthier, at 80 than I was at 58. As a second example, consider Caleb. We can see it Joshua 14:10-11, “Now then, just as the Lord promised, he has kept me alive for forty-five years since the time he said this to Moses, while Israel moved about in the wilderness. So here I am today, eighty-five years old! I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out (He was 40 at that time, Joshua 14:7); I’m just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then. These examples give me hope, decline is not inevitable; we can age gracefully.
I do not have all of the answers. I continue to read and research so that I can be healthy as I age. I continue to make adjustments as I learn more. Here are some links to resources where you can continue doing your own research and take charge of your health.

Obamacare Was Not A Failure | ZeroHedge
Step out of the lie. Healthcare is not provided by the government or your employer, insurance is. Take charge of your health. It takes effort but you can do it. Being dependent upon this system is something that you should not want. Do everything that you can to not depend upon pharmaceuticals to live. Answers are out there for almost everything. You won’t find those answers going to your primary care physician. When you are dependent on drugs to survive and dependent upon someone else to pay for them, you are exactly where the system wants you; they control you.
By the way, healthcare and food are not the only things that they have lied to us about. Please consider my book Blessings & Curses: if my people…
