I am no fan of the Kennedy’s and there is much I disagree with RFK Jr about.
However, the man has written one of the most important books that I have read (and I read a lot) in the last decade.
Point blank. Dismiss him because of his name and politics if you wish, but he has done all of us a big favor in writing this. He is credible, meticulous, and fearless.
Our public health system has failed. Like much of DC it is been horribly corrupted by the very industry it is supposed to regulate and our public health is far worse for it.
Fauci started in NIH in 1968. 6% of Americans had a “chronic disease”. In 2006, 54% of Americans have a chronic disease. There is a foul stench in the agencies we pay to make us more healthy.
30 years ago I believed that the future of medicine would be “wellness” or preventative medicine. Nothing more fancy than having a doctor trained to monitor your health and risk factors and tweak things here and there through supplements (vit D, zinc, iron, etc) and health surveillance for diseases you might be at risk from (genetically or environmentally or physiologically). I was convinced this was the future of medicine and frankly with today’s technology and computing along with the ability for home monitoring it would be incredibly effective.
It never happened despite the obvious fact that it made economic sense (lower the cost of healthcare by prevention and early interdiction of disease) and it was the right thing to do (improve quality of life).
Why?
This book is the best answer I have ever found to one of the most pressing questions of my life. Like so many things you can follow the $$$$$.
I cannot recommend this book enough.
Why?
Robert Kennedy Jr.: We need laws to ‘punish global warming skeptics’
Trump has ‘discredited the American experiment:’ Robert Kennedy Jr.
This also coincided with the food pyramid and the famous study paid for by the sugar industry that blamed fat for being fat. This lead to sugar in everything.
