This is a very difficult blog to write because it could so easily be misunderstood and misinterpreted.
Our ethos at NoR is to help people help themselves and so I am the last person to suggest that we should not help others in need.
However, when it comes to health charities, there is a big problem, in fact it is a huge problem that stems from the fact that in most cases those who are undertaking the research that the charity raises funds to support are very likely to be using the wrong basis for their research. This will inevitably lead to proposed ‘treatments’ and ‘cures’ that will not work, because they cannot work.
Unless the ‘mainstream medical industry’ changes the whole basis from which it operates, diseases like cancer, heart disease and AIDS will never be properly understood by them and will never be successfully ‘treated’ by them.
As Albert Einstein has been famously quoted as saying, “A problem cannot be solved using the same thoughts or approach which caused it in the first place.”
When the leading cause of illness is poisoning from toxic chemicals, you cannot treat the illness and expect a return to health by the use of toxic chemicals.
Which leads me back to the charities.
Whilst it is eminently noble to want to do everything we can to help people who need it, supporting charities that are raising funds for research based on an incorrect hypothesis will never help those people. In fact it will do the complete reverse and make more people more ill.
Many of these charities are ‘big business’ that have many employees as well as numerous volunteers. The research facilities also employ many scientists and researchers.
The demise of the charity business will inevitably lead to loss of jobs, but is it ethically right to continue to employ these people working on a flawed theory of health in preference to helping the people who really need the help.
This is a real dilemma that was highlighted to us in a conversation with a prominent figure in the ‘HIV does not cause AIDS’ campaign who spoke of a famous person who lends their support to many charities, including AIDS charities. The comment was that the famous person could not be told the truth that HIV does not cause AIDS because they would be heartbroken if they were told that they had been supporting a cause that was based on a false premise.
A real dilemma indeed!
But is that a reason to keep the person in ignorance so that they can continue to support an unhelpful cause? Should we really keep perpetuating a mistake? Is it not better to stop now, learn from the mistake and change direction to be able to help people who need the help?
Is it not better to pick up our heads out of the sand and look to making things right, rather than keep our heads in the sand and allow the ignorance to continue? Is the admission of our personal embarrassment so necessary to avoid that it should override the moral imperative to do ‘the right thing’?
I know what I believe. And yes, it is the harder path to follow, but ultimately it is the right path.
As Mahatma Gandhi said, ““An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.”
Never has this saying been more appropriate.
Health charities must realise that supporting pharmaceutical treatments only make healthy profits for the the industry, because the scientific evidence shows that toxic chemical treatments cannot make people healthy.
And we must realise that supporting charities that support the pharmaceutical industry will never help the people we intended to help, because the basis of the current medical model of health and disease is fatally flawed.
