Purpose We Have to Stop
Living in Fear

eople are recognizing that we can’t believe everything we are told anymore. Government
agendas, hospitals getting money for COVID cases, social media censoring and even search engines like Google are now manipulated to pro- vide certain information and hide other informa- tion. Hopefully, this prompts us to wake up and stand up. We have to stop living in fear. There are many facets to how we could have handled COVID better, but now it is time to move forward in a positive direction. The media makes it sound as though getting
COVID is a death sentence. That’s not true, most people will survive. We have never been this afraid of the flu virus, even though some years it claims over 60,000 lives. The media talks about positive COVID cases as though it is a bad thing, when in fact we need natural herd immunity to get the virus under control. Positive cases without deaths are a good thing. Most people don’t realize that natural treatments for the virus were heavily censored, even though they were extremely successful. The CDC released informa- tion that less than 7% of deaths were solely from the virus, that the remaining 94% had co-morbid conditions. This speaks to the fact that many Americans are unhealthy which has a significant impact on the outcome of this virus. The virus shouldn’t be our only concern, it
should be a wake-up call on so many levels - the over-reach of the government, medical errors, censorship and media influence to name a few. Not the least of which is the general health of America. Our whole culture is geared towards
making us sick. Groceries stores are full of factory produced food, non-organic produce and animals; many restaurants use poor quality food; and busy lifestyles that encourage grab-and-go. We’ve become a society that prizes “things” over experiences, leading to financial stress. We have over-packed schedules that lead to stress and lack of sleep. This is a recipe for a sick nation. The CDC reports that 35.9% of the population
is obese and 33.3% is overweight. That is almost 70% of the population! These weight issues lead to high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, increased risk of heart disease and cancer. This is a main reason America spends 1.5 times more on healthcare than any other country in the world, 3 trillion dollars in past years. Luckily, our bodies have an inherent healing
mechanism. Think about cutting yourself and miraculously the cut heals over as if it was never there. The same system is in place for serious diseases, the body can heal itself given the right tools. While this idea of the body healing itself may seem strange in our society of having a pill to “cure” every ailment, this healing principle has long been recognized. Hippocrates, “the father of Western medicine,” believed disease was a product of environmental factors, diet and living habits. He said, “Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease”. This ancient principle has never been more relevant than it is today. What are the tools to reverse disease and pre-
vent illness? We need to recognize how the world has changed. Our food has changed more in the last 60 years than it has in the last 1000. We are
