In commerce, it’s ideal when supply matches demand. For example, since we constantly need food and may not always be able to produce it ourselves, we can buy bread, meat, or vegetables at the supermarket. Since we want a roof over our heads, we find building materials at the retailer. Since we need to travel long-term, we require a car.
However, today’s predominantly narcissistic consumer society isn’t about this balance. It’s about obfuscation, half-truths, incitement, fear-mongering, and how to sell anything—even the last piece of junk—often at a high price, while ignoring whether it’s needed or what consequences it may have later.
Why would healthcare be any different?
- It’s easy to sell something when there’s demand.
But what if there isn’t? What if, seemingly, no one needs a product?
-
If there’s no demand, they create it.
To make people need a completely unnecessary product, a backstory must be crafted to transform it into a necessity.
On one hand, this involves establishing a societal elite, norm, fashion, or role model—a trend we must follow to feel valuable in a given era.
This suggests we’re nobodies—or certainly not “normal”—until we adopt these norms.
This trend is so powerful that even if we wanted to, we couldn’t easily opt out. Thanks to herd mentality, swimming against the current either deprives us of the attention needed to thrive or leads to ostracism.
Today, slim, athletic, and/or surgically enhanced bodies are considered trendy—only today, as different eras had different ideal body types.
The role of this contemporary trend as a standard creates a vacuum for all the industries and services catering to it, from pharmaceuticals to plastic surgery, countless exercise regimens, “nutrition science,” and various miracle techniques. All claim to “help” us achieve the current “perfect and healthy” state or at least convince us that buying their product or service brings us closer to it. If it doesn’t work—and since these instant solutions rarely rewrite our evolutionary programs, they mostly don’t provide real solutions—they convince us we did something wrong, that we’re malfunctioning, or we simply resign ourselves to the fact that this didn’t work either.
The other side of these backstories creates non-existent enemies that can cause us harm or loss—things we must fear, avoid, or prevent.
In healthcare, examples include the cancer myth, the germ theory, and many other fear-inducing beliefs.
This isn’t about denying the existence of conditions; various conditions are natural parts of life—our responses to environmental changes and internal demands—just as regeneration is a pre-programmed biochemical process.
What’s fabricated are the beliefs attached to them, like “cancer is deadly,” “we can get infected by viruses,” “diabetes can cause blindness,” or “ticks spread Lyme disease,” etc.
This area is far more serious than the previous one because our associated fears continuously create secondary conflicts and, with them, secondary conditions, turning these claims into self-fulfilling prophecies.
For example, in films, people constantly die of “cancer,” or cancer is endlessly studied and researched without a “cure,” yet new treatments and discoveries emerge daily—only to be debunked a few days later.
What kind of danger or problem must this be if, for decades, renowned scientists haven’t found a solution? Have we considered how much fear we associate with it because of this? Have we thought about the immense harm a diagnosis conflict can cause? How paralyzed we become by a cancer diagnosis when we believe the world’s “smartest,” highly specialized experts can’t do anything about it?
We should be far more cautious with claims like “there’s no solution”—on any topic. Most often, we “can’t find a solution” when we don’t want to, when the solution would cause too much loss, shorten our revenue stream, bruise our ego, or lead to a loss of position.
- They announce a new disease (cancer, virus) that’s extremely dangerous, deadly, and spreads rapidly. Unless a “cure” is found, “humanity will surely go extinct.” “Fortunately,” they develop a “treatment” (therapy, vaccine) that might be effective—no guarantees, of course—but could prevent the worst outcome if the “evil” is caught in time.
- Because we fear it, we regularly attend screenings (cancer tests, PCR tests)
- Because we go for screenings, they’ll eventually find “something” to “treat”—if not, they’ll repeat the test a tenth time.
- The more news spreads about brutal treatments and the “disease’s deadly nature,” the more people opt for prevention, i.e., vaccination.
-
Not only are we relieved, but we’re grateful they’ve handed us a remedy for a non-existent threat, a non-existent infection risk.
There’s even a Mother Teresa-like quality to the story, as we don’t directly pay for treatments, vaccines, or ventilators.
Does the vaccine actually help?
Since all natural conditions arise from biological conflicts and regenerate once the conflict is resolved, a vaccine is about as effective as Harry Potter’s spells against non-existent monsters. If we believe in its efficacy, it may increase our sense of security regarding a specific “disease” to some extent. However, it won’t prevent conditions arising from other conflicts or shield us from the helplessness of a doctor’s shrug during a diagnosis.
At what cost?
In Summary: We feel compelled to attend screenings because we’ve been convinced that cervical cancer, COVID, ticks, etc., are dangerous.
Who would inject themselves with a “virus isolated from a chimpanzee,” accompanied by various side effects, if they knew every biochemical process in our body is predictable, that every condition depends on us, and not on those unvaccinated “virus factories” walking toward us?
This text does not aim to be comprehensive; it touches on only part of the topic and serves to understand the biological processes occurring within us and the nature of conflicts. Every person’s life and life path are unique, so the specific triggers should be examined individually, based on the events experienced. How someone copes with their conflicts varies from person to person, and different areas are handled differently depending on the amount of negative experiences or failures accumulated there. Exploring a conflict does not replace medical care.
