This is an unpleasant and controversial topic but for those of us that are naturallyminded, eating whole and nutritious foods and going back to nature for healthy saturated fats there is no more important topic in America.  For those of us who choose to trust in nature instead of man-made hydrogenated fats, genetically modified organisms and toxin laden vaccines the health care debate is life and death.  Though this debate often pits friends against one another it’s an important issue to discuss especially because of the danger this so-called health care reform bill poses to all freedom loving Americans and especially those who prefer to eat wholesome and real foods instead of industrialized, government approved factory food.

I have seen many people who are like minded about nutrition and holistic health care supporting a federal government health plan and I am shocked, dismayed and disappointed.  I am not sure how anyone who has spent years fighting the “Diet Dictocrates” (as Sally Fallon calls him) about their faulty junk science that demonize saturated fats can reconcile with government run health care.  We’ve had plenty of experience with misguided, ignorant and down right dangerous government officials interfering with our food and health choices in the past.

For example there’s the raw milk controversy, some states treat it as if citizens are trying to smuggle cocaine.  Of course the regulating agencies are all influenced by big agribusiness which has created for itself a nice monopoly on dairy with the help of law makers.  This is only possible because of the manufactured fear of raw milk that has no logic or basis in real science yet is used by government officials and regulatory bodies to harass farmers, destroy property and imprison innocent people.  We’ll save that lengthy discussion for another day though.

There is ample and unmistakable evidence that such regulations fail to offer protection, are almost always corrupt from their inception and as with anything the government runs are bankrupt causing greater tax burdens and debt.

There is no government regulatory agency without a history of abuse and corruption especially among those that are supposed to “protect” the American public.  “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely” so it should be no surprise that protection turns into tyranny.  These agencies stop protecting and instead use their influence and unlimited powers to destroy small business, small farmers and personal freedoms.  These agencies get infiltrated by the very industries they are supposed to be regulating which creates a blatant conflict of interest and opens the doors wide to more corruption where the big companies get special treatment and at the same time get their competitors, namely small business owners, harassed and fined out of business.  If you have doubts just Google “Monsanto FDA corruption”.

Such corruption is already inherent within the proposed health care bills.  Reading the 1990 page Pelosi version leaves little doubt how medical care will be rationed, big pharma and other businesses will be able to fix pricing, and schools are turned into vaccination centers.  Perhaps the worst is that with this bill those who can’t afford to pay for health care will be facing new penalties with the IRS or jail time… the ultimate loss of liberty.  The Wall Street Journal called it the “Worst Bill Ever”¹ I definitely agree but what I see coming out of the Senate isn’t much better.

There are even greater risks involved that I feel are being overlooked.  How hard is it to see a day when people feeding their children pastured chicken livers are arrested for putting their child at risk because the lipid hypothesis says saturated fat will kill you? I’ve witnessed first hand my great grandmother, raised on farm foods, limiting her liver intake despite craving it and loving it all her life because some doctor told her it will kill her.  How long before refusing to follow doctor’s advice is also breaking the law?  It’s already happening in the UK where parents are threatened by government officials with having children taken away because they refused to follow the doctor’s requirements or because their children are obese^2. Here in the US the outlook is just as bleak for parents.  In Texas the state officials kidnapped a teenage girl and forced chemotherapy on her³.  It’s happening already and it will be much worse when the government can argue it pay the bills, thus the doctors work for the government and not the patient.

It’s logical after all that big brother knows best, right?  After all according to them you are creating future obese heart patients if you give your child whole milk instead of chemical laden skim milk.  And there’s no disputing that obesity is a majorhealthproblem in America, already they call it an epidemic, and it will eat up massive amounts of tax payer dollars in this government run health care system.  But few will acknowledge the government and the industrial medical establishment’s role in causing this obesity epidemic by pushing high carbohydrate diets, processed foods, sugar/corn syrup consumption and trans fats.  These are the real cause of obesity and parents trying to do what their doctor and experts advise end up making their child’s obesity worse. The government and experts can’t be wrong, they will never admit to a mistake. Instead the parents will be blamed and then it becomes an easy choice that parents lose their rights to raise their own children. Governmenthealthcare will result in parental inference as we’ve never seen before. The government will say its best to prevent disease even if that means removing a child from her home and only the government and the those dubbed experts will have the authority to say what constitutes prevention of disease, what is healthy and what is not. And as we’ve already seen the government isn’t opposed to using force. It won’t be long until that force is used on parents to insure they feed only what some government agency like the USDA says is a healthy diet, a diet plan designed and contrived by big industries in such as the grain/cereal, pasteurized dairy, and sugar industry… USDA food pyramid anyone?

This utopia of health care for all won’t work, it won’t happen and instead it will meanhealth care rationing⁴, corruption by those in power, forced and unnecessaryhealthchecks including increasingly controversial mammograms that may actually increase your chances of developing cancer all so that the big cancer machine can keep on grinding and making more and more money. And it will mean the destruction of alternative medicine for once and for all which is already underway with outrageous FTC and FDA over-regulation. Freedom of choice in diet must be eliminated also, by this logic, otherwise tax payers will be paying for someone’s triple bypass because they cannot lay off the trans-fat, corn syrup laden, doughnuts.

We will instead have health care for none and even worse we’ll be facing laws and regulations that take away our freedom to see the doctors we want, take alternative remedies and treatments or choose not to vaccinate or do chemotherapy.

And what will all this government interference in health care mean for those who refuse vaccination?  I seriously doubt parents will be given any choice when this passes.  “No Child Left Unimmunized” in Pelosi’s bill really leaves no room for exemptions and totally disregards our conscientious objections, religious beliefs or possibly even medical risks.  We’ll face more regulation from those who are already trying to prevent us from “hurting ourselves” with raw milk and on top of destroying our ability to consume raw milk when and if we want we will also lose our rights to consume saturated fats, meat, eggs and whatever the food they’ve painted evil this week.

Our most fundamental freedom, besides free speech and the right to bear arms to protect ourselves is the right to control our health.  Once the government starts interfering we will have doctors working for some government agency instead of the patient and putting government rules and regulations before the health and well-being of their patients.  Also there are already deals being made with big pharma, the AMA and other groups to make sure they can secure exactly what they want be it price fixing of pharmaceuticals and prohibition against importing the same exact drugs from Canada to preventing any natural doctors from practicing in the United States because the AMA won’t approve them.

See where this is going folks?  Can you imagine a day when butter is illegal?  When allowing a healthy fever to run is course is child abuse?  Where refusing toxic drugs like Tylenol is negligence or insanity? I can.  I can already see a day when failing to buy your health insurance, whether you can afford it or not, lands you in jail or gets the IRS on your case… ruining your life⁵.  That day is nearly here.

There is one silver lining for the poor of American through.  In prison you get three square meals a day of soy based foods that will make you sick but that’s another discussion for another day…
