The news blackout and disinformation campaign of natural cures has been so effective since WWII that most people do not ever learn of the “disappeared” therapies until the
fateful moment when they or their loved ones are diagnosed with some dreadful disease. Then and only then will they begin “fighting for their lives” and delve into the plethora of alternative medicine, and throw to the wayside all of the supposedly “scientifically supported”
mainstream medicine they fear so much.

It wasn’t always this way.
Just 100 years ago, what we call “alternative” medicine was main stream, consisting of herbs, tinctures, roots and medicinal mushrooms which indigenous societies have proven effective for THOUSANDS OF YEARS. Doctors making house calls and traveling snake oil salesmen were not called “quacks” because they were not quacks at all. Conversely, they were nipping disease and disorder (what little existed) in the bud, using Nature’s powerful extracts and herbal tinctures based on a long history of proven methods; from China to Brazil, from India to Australia, and right back here to the local roots of the Native Americans.

Just 100 years ago in the United States, medicine was not a lucrative business. Scarce was a case of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis or Alzheimer’s, and there were no pharmaceutically induced deaths.      

Between 1905 and 1912, deficiency disease was discovered, which meant scientists figured out that nearly all sicknesses and disease were caused by NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY, and the recent discoveries of
vitamins B12, vitamin A, and vitamin D proved it. Since then, farmers have fed cattle vitamins and trace minerals to prevent and cure disease, but the FDA does not want you to know. Vitamin B12 is needed for healthy red blood cells, healthy nerve cells, and to make DNA. Vitamin A is important for the immune system, helping cell membranes resist cancer and many other diseases. A public lack of this understanding has been pivotal in the mass failure of informed choices regarding the prevention and cure of disease. Also, by 1935, vitamin C (ascorbic acid) became the first “pure” vitamin made available to the public through large-scale production.
