Skeptics

Dr Gruba's Comments: I wrote this fun article because there is an increasingly tide of irrational attacks on anyone who "does healthy things", especially if they are considered to be "alternative". There are people who actually subscribe to these beliefs. That's OK. But they want to force all of us who hold a different set of beliefs, to give up our truth and, if necessary, will force us to believe theirs.

In the world of medicine, "skeptics" claim to be the sole protectors of intellectual truth. Everyone who disagrees with them is just a quack*, they insist. "Skeptics" are in favor of vaccines, mammograms, pharmaceuticals and chemotherapy. They are opponents of nutritional supplements, herbal medicine, chiropractic care, massage therapy, energy medicine, homeopathy, prayer and therapeutic touch.

* A “Quack” was originally a conventional medical doctor who prescribed toxic levels of mercury or “quicksilver”, thereby harming their patients.

"Skeptics" admit they have no consciousness and that there is no such thing as a soul, a spirit or a higher power. There is no life after death. In fact, there's not much life in life when you're a skeptic.

What skeptics really believe

• Skeptics believe that ALL vaccines are safe and effective (even if they've never been tested), that ALL people should be vaccinated, even against their will, and that there is NO LIMIT to the number of vaccines a person can be safely given. As long as there is a vaccine, you should have it.

• Skeptics believe that fluoride chemicals derived from the scrubbers of coal-fired power plants are really good for human health. They're so good, in fact, that they should be dumped into the water supply so that everyone is forced to drink those chemicals, regardless of their current level of exposure to fluoride from other sources.

• Skeptics believe that many six-month-old infants need antidepressant drugs. In fact, they believe that people of all ages can be safely given an unlimited number of drugs all at the same time: Antidepressants, cholesterol drugs, blood pressure drugs, diabetes drugs, anti-anxiety drugs, sleeping drugs and more -- simultaneously!

• Skeptics believe that the human body has no ability to defend itself against invading microorganism and that the only things that can save people from viral infections are vaccines.

• Skeptics believe that pregnancy is a disease and childbirth is a medical crisis. (They are opponents of natural childbirth.)

• Skeptics do not believe in hypnosis. This is especially hilarious since they are all prime examples of people who are easily hypnotized by mainstream influences.

• Skeptics believe that there is no such thing as human consciousness. They do not believe in the mind; only in the physical brain. Skeptics believe that they themselves are mindless automatons who have no free will, no soul and no consciousness whatsoever.

• Skeptics believe that DEAD foods have exactly the same nutritional properties as LIVING foods (hilarious!).

• Skeptics believe that pesticides on the crops are safe, genetically modified foods are safe, and that any chemical food additive approved by the FDA is also safe. There is no advantage to buying organic food, they claim.

• Skeptics believe that water has no role in human health other than basic hydration. Water is inert, they say, and the water your toilet is identical to water from a natural spring (assuming the chemical composition is the same, anyway).

• Skeptics believe that all the phytochemicals and nutrients found in ALL plants are inert, having absolutely no benefit whatsoever for human health. (The ignorance of this intellectual position is breathtaking...)

• Skeptics believe that the moon has no influence over life on Earth. Farming in sync with moon cycles is just superstition, they say. (So why are the cycles of life for insects, animals and humans tied to the moon, then?)

• Skeptics believe that the SUN has no role in human health other than to cause skin cancer. They completely deny any healing abilities of light. (They are in trouble because everybody knows how vit D is for you).

• Skeptics believe that Mother Nature is incapable of synthesizing medicines. Only drug companies can synthesize medicines, they claim. (So why do they copy molecules from nature, then?)

• Skeptics do not believe in intuition. They believe that mothers cannot "feel" the emotions of their infants at a distance. They write off all such "psychic" events as mere coincidence.

• Skeptics believe that all healing happens from the outside, from doctors and technical interventions. They do not believe that patients have any ability to heal themselves. Thus, they do not ascribe any responsibility for health to patients. Rather, they believe that doctors and technicians are responsible for your health. Anyone who dismisses doctors and takes charge of their own health is therefore acting "irresponsibly," they claim.

• Skeptics believe that cell phone radiation poses absolutely no danger to human health. A person can be exposed to unlimited cell phone radiation without any damage whatsoever.

• Skeptics believe that aspartame, artificial chemical sweeteners can be consumed in unlimited quantities with no ill effects. They also believe that all artificial colours, additives and preservatives are harmless.

They believe that you can safely live on a diet that has been completely stripped of its vitamins and minerals.

• Skeptics believe that human beings were born deficient in synthetic chemicals and that the role of pharmaceutical companies is to "restore" those deficiencies in humans by convincing them to swallow patented pills.

• Skeptics believe that you can take unlimited pharmaceuticals, be injected with an unlimited number of vaccines, expose yourself to unlimited medical imaging radiation, consume an unlimited quantity of chemicals in processed foods and expose yourself to an unlimited quantity of environmental chemical toxins with absolutely no health effects whatsoever!

All the beliefs listed above were compiled from "skeptics" web sites.

Skeptics aren't consistently skeptical

Skeptics ignore their own science. Science which shows that modern drugs aren’t much better, but more toxic than placebos. They ignore the lack of honesty and fraud in published medical research. They accept advice released by medical authorities like the FDA and WHO, advice that suits their skeptical position, but deny advice that is contradictory.

Skeptics accept that mercury amalgams are inert, because their dental colleagues say so. But ignore their university education which proves the contrary. Skeptics believe that the introduction of petro-carbon based chemicals into our environment have no effect on the human metabolism.

Skeptics will only believe things if they have been scientifically proven. So we have to wait until they prove Vit D is beneficial for us. In the meantime, Vit D defciency causes osteoporosis, arthhritis, rheumatism, cancer, heart disease, increase susceptibilty to infections, etc.

Nature is bad, chemicals are good

Summing up the position of the "skeptics" is quite simple: Nature is bad, chemicals are good!

Skeptics believe that modern medicine has the answer to every problem faced by patients. They believe that modern medicine has a cure for every illness.

Well, at least, skeptics are consistent.

What skeptics really are

Skeptics are the most misinformed people on the planet.

They are the easiest people to fool. They're the easiest to hypnotize, too, because they lack independent thinking skills. Rather than thinking for themselves, they have joined a "club of skeptics" where they can be told what to think and then label themselves "intelligent" for following others in the group.

These are the people who line up to be injected with useless H1N1 vaccines. (The joke is on them, of course. Those vaccines were a complete fraud...) These are the people who stand in line at the pharmacy to buy a dozen different prescriptions that their doctors told them to take. These are the people who eat processed, dead junk food laced with chemicals that make them sick -- and then they wonder why they're sick. These are the people who sit at home watching television and think to themselves how smart they are because they follow the medical advice they learned in drug company advertisements.

These are the real "skeptics." They are so incredibly isolated from reality that they don't even believe in their body's own ability to heal itself.

Skeptics don't believe in a higher power of any kind: No God, no spirit, no angels, no guides, no creative force in the universe... nada. They think the universe is a cold, empty, lonely, stupid place full of soulless, mindless, zombie biological bodies who have no free will and no consciousness.

Gee, no wonder these skeptics are so misguided. They have the most pessimistic view possible. No wonder they seek to destroy themselves with chemicals -- they don't even think they're alive to begin with! Skeptics are bent on self destruction. And they believe that when you die, the lights just go out and you cease to exist. Nothing happens after that. You're just a mindless biological robot whose life has no meaning, no purpose, no higher self.

This is exactly what the skeptics believe. They'll even tell you so themselves!

Never argue with drones

Skeptics are really another kind of fundamentalist pseudo-religion. Skeptics will not debate any issue except from the fundamentalist position of their always being right. Skeptics believe that they know everything. They believe that science knows everything, has the answer to everything and there is nothing more to discover. That’s really scary.

The big problem is that skeptics actually have a university degree, that asks them to think for themselves. Skeptics merely repeat what they have been told.

Skeptics are drones. Drones are not equal to a being of energy with a consciousness and a soul, inhabiting a human body with purpose and awareness.

Never argue with drones. You only waste your time and annoy the drone.
