The Flat Tire Diagnosis

Let me give you an example of how conventional medicine might report

on certain car problems. Let's say you're driving down the

interstate at 75 miles per hour and all of a sudden your car suffers

a tire blowout. Certain symptoms start to appear:

• Your car pulls to the right

• There is a strange flapping sound coming from underneath the car

• Your car suffers a reduction in fuel efficiency

• Your ride suddenly becomes bumpier

Now, if this situation were examined by the same medical researchers

looking at this correlation between osteoporosis and depression,

they would first have names for these symptoms:

• Your car being pulled to the right would be called, "Right's

Disease"

• The strange sound coming from underneath your car would be

called, "Flapping Disease"

• The reduction in fuel efficiency would be called, "Hypofuelenemia"

• The ride becoming bumpier would be called, "Comfort Deficiency

Syndrome" or CDS

Now then, these medical researchers would document that Right's

Disease is always present at the same time that you have Comfort

Deficit Syndrome. Therefore, they would conclude that Right's

Disease is CAUSED by Comfort Deficit Syndrome!

Instead, of fixing the flat tire, they would proceed to prescribe

numerous fixes to treat all the various symptoms. Right's Disease,

for example, might be "treated" with a giant piece of duct tape that

pulls the steering wheel to the left.

Flapping Disease could be eliminated by using radiation therapy to

destroy your ear drums (so you no longer hear the flapping noises).

Once you are deaf and can no longer hear the flapping sound, you

would be considered to be in "remission."

Hypofuelenemia could be "treated" by injecting high-grade fuel

additive into your car to make up for the loss of fuel efficiency.

(The high-grade fuel additive, of couse, would be manufactured by

Big Pharma.)

Comfort Deficiency Syndrome could be treated with powerful narcotics

that take your mind off the bumpy ride. (Never mind the fact that it

would also make you a terrible driver. One-third of auto accidents

today are already caused by people on medication...)

In all this, the true underlying cause of these problems -- the flat

tire -- would be utterly ignored. Why fix the flat tire when they

can make so much money managing the "symptoms" of those diseases

over many years?
