   That is what differentiates Dr. Kruse—he is the most curious person I know — and in fact the answers that he has found weave a truth that is both discomforting and yet provides enormous hope. No matter how inconvenient that truth may be, we can’t solve our problems and improve our situations without it, and half-truths can be dangerous when they lead to dogmatism (and “whole lies” – as Dr. Kruse says.) If he hears something he doesn’t know about he seems to note it and actually later researches it – always asking “why” and trying to understand the heart of the matter. He has a prodigious (I su…

   **Truth Bomb #1:** Life improves slowly, but tends to goes wrong quickly, and only a catastrophe that is clearly visible to the eye, is what the brain believes. The real truth is where light and space/time bend to cause the real problem that remain in our blind spot even today. (Nick Lane alert)

   If these findings are true then all religions, faiths, creeds, sects, and systems of belief are to be discounted--a notion that ties in with the work of Godel and Incompleteness. At best they become approximate truths but are inadequate nonetheless. The goal becomes one of trying to attain at-

   People are receptive to this message. No healthcare provider they’ve met has ever taken the time to explain anything like this to them (especially in such an intuitive way). They listen, rapt with attention, and ask questions. Most of them have heard about photosynthesis (one brought it up!) Mostly they’ve always been cautioned to wear sunglasses, sunscreen and sun resistant clothing (witness the “slip, slop, slap” media campaign, and yet, when the message is explained with simple and intuitive analogies their eyes are opened (literally and figuratively) and they are very grateful. Instead of …

   It is a fault we may remark in most disputes, that, as truth is the mean between the two opinions that are upheld, each disputant departs from it in proportion to the degree in which he possesses the spirit of contradiction. But the error of those who leant too much to the side of doubt, was not followed for any length of time, and that of the opposite party has been to some extent corrected by the doctrine that the senses are deceitful in many instances. Nevertheless, I do not know that this error was wholly removed by showing that certitude is not in the senses, but in the understanding alon…

   Denise Minger (awesome blogger and better person) recently said that anecdotes are valuable for coming up with theories but theories need to be tested in an experimental design. My sensibilities are quite different today than that of Denise’s because I have to deal and treat these ‘train wrecks’ daily as a surgeon. My perspective is ‘altered’ because of my clinical experience. Today’s healthcare system is set up to take care of only sick people and not designed to make them well permanently. We teach, and do things that are 180 degrees opposite to how we should be doing things. Those failures …

   In other words, um not only truth, you need to believe certain things in order to advance in your knowledge of truth. And this is why I've I find the con- temporary philosophy of education, if you want to call it that, to be so deadly because uh the young person is deprived of all truth. He's taught to doubt everything. He's taught to question everything. And uh this is a self-defeating process because as I said, uh in order to find truth, you must already have some truth to work with. Uh and uh I find that modern education, beginning really on the level of of kindergarten, it deprives people …

   When you believe in yourself, in your innate abilities to do and to think, you know implicitly that anything is possible. You might even get “skeptics” to realize that the cause of most of the modern western diseases really begins in the eye and not in our diet or gut. The impossible might even become easy when you rely on your own powers of observation to transform your beliefs. This was the story portrayed in Ruben and Ben Smith’s movie ***Unbound***. The movie was shown to the audience in Vermont the night prior to the event. The “meme of the movie” was surprising to some but quite powerful…

   Most of us are inclined to affirm that what we know best we know through the senses, along with the other falsities already mentioned, but in addition: our conceptions of mind and God represent mind and God as sensible when they are not; we think and speak by way of terms that we do not understand or that may have no corresponding idea; and what we take to be the paradigm of a distinct perception is hardly distinct at all. [ 5 ] We take in information against the background of our current commitments and conceptions, and so are primed to reject what conflicts with them. [ 6 ] When we work thro…

    Trainers, nutritionists, dietitians, and many clinicians generalize when they treat or manage a transformation. They call these things recipes, algorithms, or pathways for wellness. They generalize because they are not sophisticated enough to make a specific diagnosis of a problem. I still think it is honorable and credible to use a detailed history and labs to allow me to see how their environmental failures might show me a hidden truth. It should be acceptable to fail in this regard; there’s innocent intent in failure if you failed trying to meet a need of that patient. Without that need, an…
