How Lies Launch Modern Medicine | Dr. Nathalia Holt | TEDxCapeMay

When it comes to the fear of newly identified diseases, lies often substitute for data, and for those afflicted, stigma supplants compassion. The treatment of illnesses such as cancer, HIV, influenza, and tuberculosis, are often rooted in the falsehoods of their first portrayal. Nathalia Holt looks at the precision of our cultural and scientific understanding of disease and considers the influence of perception in medicine, and asks, what is the truth about the treatment of our most deadly diseases?

I didn’t know this history. It was very interesting. Years ago (when I was 26) I developed cancer and I chose a naturopathic path since at that time medical treatments had poor outcomes. I’ve been cancer free since then (I’m 75). My wish is that we could talk about these natural therapies without being labeled “quacks” or any of the other labels old John D. Rockefeller maligned those of us who choose a different path. Many wholistic doctors have lost their license because they dared to question Allopathic medicine or offer alternatives.

My sister had tuberculosis when she was younger. I'm so glad my mother didn't listen to the doctors and allow the treatment they wanted. She took my sister to a naturopath and when she went back to the doctor he was so shocked at the good results he fell to his knees and asked 'what did you do??'
If she had done the treatment the doctor wanted she may not have survived, and if she did would have a huge scar down the side of her face and neck.

There is also a hidden history of Rockefeller Medicines.

[jgrayblesser]

I thought this was going to be about how most of what we know about cancer and medicine is a lie.

[sekito]

For a talk that is titled “How Lies Shaped Modern Medicine”, it itself is a great example of it

[Gandan]

Never have I gone through a Lecture so attentively. So simple yet so effective.

[andrewgonzales]

I wrote a sixty page paper at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, which focused on HIV, which is mentioned in the beginning. I am very excited to hear this topic in this speech, as this topic is seldom discussed.

[Takingthethem..]

YT took down Rockefeller Medicine it seems

[kr]

Wow! Definitely DON'T look into PREVENTION or the actual cause of something.

[WellnessSolutions]

Very true. Personally I feel medical care should not be controlled by disease or drug authorities, instead by functional health care. The perception of health is very significant any natural methods to improve and sustain health will dramatically change the life of man to a better one. This is my experience for the last 40 years in modern medicine practice. Perceptions should be changed.

medicine = big profits, no need to CURE anything, they would lose their rich $$$ life

[ineedstuff]

how about a ted talk on how truth will never be in a ted talk.... and no matter WHAT the info is in a talk, it will have misleading and subversive goal.

Nov 2023 - i asked my parents which they would rather have, the flu or co.v1d? I now have a strong understanding of stigma.

[georgeduncan]

our fear Driven perception is conditioned ....creating stress which drives disease....the Nocebo effect. tgank U Dr Bruce Lipton 💥💥💥💥

[fredpauser]

She did not describe lies. She described fear-driven incorrect perceptions. Not the same thing. Calling those early perceptions "lies" is not being truthful.

When people (including doctors) are fearful they tend to be irrational and say ridiculous things.

Depends if its type 1 or type 2 Diabetes which can be reversed according to Dr Jason Fung and others and their studies.

[clydebermingham]

I usually highly regard TED TALKS … but from now on … I will have to be more cautious …

This speakers remarks on Chemo Therapy is where she loses me
