Speak truth ... and you will be made to care!

Speaking the truth, regardless of the issue or domain, will get you in trouble. 

The ultimate example of this is Jesus - The One Who is The Way, The Life, The Truth (John 14:6). He spoke truth to everyone who crossed His path and He was crucified because of it. But death could not hold Him (Acts 2:24), and He rose physically, bodily from the grave three days later (Mark 16:9) and He rules and reigns from heaven even now. He did warn His followers that they would be hated on His account (Matthew 24:9) - and this has been true since He uttered those words and will be true until He returns to reign (from Jerusalem) on this earth. 

One of the lovely things about Truth is that He comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable. 

Science should be about the pursuit of knowledge - truth, yet because we are sick with sin (the above paragraph describes the only solution to sin) science is frequently hijacked for other agendas, and those who call this out are, well, "made to care". 

This is very true in vaccines - if you are a parent and you do not want your child vaccinated or you want to deviate in any way from the current schedule of vaccines as recommended by the CDC you just may find it difficult to get any kind of pediatric care. If you work in healthcare you will be required to get a flu shot yearly in order to work or perhaps to get a
raise. 

The CDC posits itself as the primary repository of knowledge (ie: truth) regarding vaccines, and you dare not oppose them with a differing opinion. This is so well ingrained in medical personnel that the vast majority accept any adverse event following vaccination as "just a co-incidence" (silly mommy, what could you possibly know - you aren't a doctor!) 

The Truth has nothing to fear from the lie. So why would the CDC feel the need to resort to such unscientific tactics as breaking study protocol, or destroying data (Google "#CDCwhistleblower")? If vaccines are safe and effective there should be no need for a law providing anyone associated with them complete legal immunity from any adverse effects. If vaccines were safe and effective there would be no need for mandates as people would be demanding them, not trying to get exemptions! 

At the heart of the issue is who owns truth, who owns knowledge. Academic arrogance serves several functions: it is a mantle wrapped around themselves to function as an armour against accountability toward fellow humans. It is a defense against consideration of any theory that might upset a paradigm that enriches them and with which they are very comfortable. 

It is not just in vaccines that an anointed few determine what is or is not correct. Apparently in Australia the medical "authorities" have gone after one of their own who had the temerity to stray from accepted dogma about diet. The following was cut and pasted from Dr. Malcome Kendrick's blog, (by all means, please follow him) shared with permission of the author (Dr. Gary Fettke) as noted at the end of his letter: 

Hi everyone,

It is with frustration that I write to inform you that I have been ‘silenced’, forever, by the Australian Medical Board, known as AHPRA.

We have a draconian system here in Australia where anonymous notifications can go in and they are investigated for public safety. The accused can only submit material but never have right of reply. It is a star chamber.

I recently got to present that ‘opinion’ of the process and the fabricated evidence at a Senate Inquiry. My evidence on the failings of AHPRA was granted parliamentary privilege which allowed a tell all opportunity. Within a few hours I received an email final determination of the 2 ½ year investigation. Coincidence or just another kick in the guts?

My verbal submission and the whole issue of bullying and harassment in the hospital system is linked from http://www.nofructose.com/introduction/senate-inquiry-into-medical-complaints-process-in-australia/

My first notification in 2014 was from an anonymous dietitian for me advocating cutting back sugar intake to what is now the WHO recommendations. Behind closed doors, with no right of reply or appeal, the goal posts shifted and I was investigated for the whole LCHF concept, for being disrespectful to health professionals (the Dietitians Association of Australia and the Heart Foundation, but never an individual) on social media and for failing to disclose a conflict of interest (COI) in our Nutrition for Life Centre, whilst on social media.

The good news is that AHPRA have decided NOT to argue the LCHF concept. I submitted enough material for a thesis and they have accepted that LCHF may be that the benefits of the LCHF lifestyle become the accepted best medical practice.

The central issue for my silencing has been that my primary medical degree and my further qualifications as an Orthopaedic Surgeon are not satisfactory to give nutritional advice. “The fundamental fact ‘is’ that you are not suitably trained or educated as a medical practitioner to be providing advice or recommendations on this topic as a medical practitioner.”

If it wasn’t so serious it would be farcical. This decision is non-appealable under National Law. The determination is life long and by its wording, does not allow me to even do research in the area or gain further qualification because that would involve me communicating in the area of nutrition. The only thing I have not clarified is if it affects international boundaries.

We have put up the post this morning re the AHPRA decision and the launch of our community fund to keep the LCHF message going

The other parts of the AHPRA decision I can live with.

I will not force anyone to eat LCHF, not that I ever did or ever could.

I will show respect to the medical profession (doesn’t stop me from thinking otherwise).

The COI allegation is unproven as I do declare my vested interest for all patients that I send to Nutrition for Life. I admit guilt for not doing that in social media but the doctor/patient relationship is not defined in that context. I pointed out to AHPRA that they shouldn’t be applying jurisdiction in an area that is undefined. That went down like a lead balloon.

I also pointed out that AHPRA don’t govern nutritional advice in Australia. Another lead balloon.

I had a recent notification, again from an anonymous dietitian, and have been investigated for ‘inappropriate’ reversal of someone’s Type 2 Diabetes and was also reported for what I was ‘about to say’ at a hospital food national conference. AHPRA actually asked me for a copy of my speech BEFORE I gave the talk. I refused as it was an infringement of the right of free speech.

AHPRA have just this week decided to close that investigation but have warned me that they will be observing me to see if a ‘pattern of behaviour’ continues, presumably in relation to reversing more patients’ diabetes.

I hear rumours that I have ‘attacked’ health professionals at a personal level – that is simply unfounded and I think started by some naysayers. Alas, I am having some sh!t thrown at me at times. If you hear something, then let me know please.

If this sounds like a horror story, it is. I honestly thought that this would just fade away but strange things do happen when you upset the ‘industry’. Just see what’s happening with Tim Noakes. The only thing in Tim’s favour is that it has gone to court. Mine is a closed process with no right of appeal, unless I can continue to have politicians assist.

My next step is to challenge the process via more closed groups and that will be years of tying me up. I am going the public awareness path as the finding lacks the common-sense conclusion. We are liaising with some media channels and politicians. It’s all we can do.

Any support would be appreciated. Happy to liaise. Feel free to forward this email as it is.

Cheers.

Gary

Science evolves by being challenged. Not by being followed. @thegaryscience

If you think this is all completely ridiculous, then please circulate widely, and make as much noise as possible.

So Dr. Fettke is smart enough to obtain an advanced medical degree and specialized surgical skills, but is not intelligent enough to learn information about nutrition?! This is certainly not to diss Dieticians or Nutritionists - but one begins to wonder how any of us manage to wipe our own noses (or arses) without help from an "expert"?! 

As always, read the comments - lots of smart people out there, one of whom included these very relevant quotes in his remarks: 

"In any great organization it is far, far safer to be wrong with the majority than to be right alone." 

"It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong." 

Part of what is so exceedingly ironic about these types of situations is that so many of those who are part of the aparatchnik of orthodoxy also lay claim to the concept of "academic freedom" (Ha!). The hallowed halls of academia are notorious for being socially liberal - one of the dogmas of "progressivism" is "tolerance" (oh, if only!). The hypocrisy of progressives is absolutely breathtaking, as these are the ones who accuse others (Christians specifically, social conservatives more generally) of the crime of holding exclusive claims to the truth -- and yet this is precisely what they have done! (WHAT! You don't agree with me - well, you are wrong ... and you are fired, you are going to jail, your business will be closed - all methods of "being made to care" by those who proudly wear the badge of "tolerance"!) Frequently enough they will also claim that truth is personal - that each person can have "their" own truth - a statement that is logically absurd. 

Satan is the father of lies (John 8:44), and he knows his time is short (Rev 12:12), so I am sure we can expect attacks against truth tellers to continue until the end.
