"Harvey, who is familiar with the Kare conspiracy theory, thinks the sugar-industry conspiracy theory is more plausible. "It's all speculative, but the sugar-industry group had more clout and resources to make it happen," says Harvey. "Whoever it was, they convinced someone at the FDA to bypass the due process of law. It was skullduggery. Somebody at some level in the government was paid off" Lawyers advised Harvey that moving Miralin forward would require years of litigation, an intense emotional commitment with no guarantee of success. " - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"And I also understand how easy it is to feel like there is a grand conspiracy whose purpose is to keep you from getting the health info you ought to know about. The truth, however, is actually more subtle. There isn't a vast conspiracy out to keep you from knowing about natural cures and treatments. There is, however, a shared and prevalent sensibility—one Fve tried to illustrate in the above text—that accomplishes the same thing." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"Society is just too complex, and power is too widely dispersed in this age of media, to pull of such a massive life or death conspiracy. All it would take is one blogger to break the silence. What we do understand is that the structure of the economy and its professions is imperialistic, meaning that it seeks to conquer new territory and use its power to hold on to what it has. It follows that the members of the establishment act with great vigor to minimize any nontraditional intrusion into medical practice. It's a conspiracy, but not a legal one! No secret meetings or pacts!" - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"Materialism - An Addictive Meme Society is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members. Society is a joint-stock company in which the members agree, for the better securing of his bread to each shareholder, to surrender the liberty of the eater. V V e have become so successful at molding and manipulating the world that we have come to believe that modifying our surroundings is the way to solve all our problems —not necessarily the only way, but the easiest and simplest way." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"This screening process, or even censoring, later became known as the Constantine conspiracy. In 1946, a discovery of lost manuscripts was made in forgotten caves in an area known as Qumran, between Israel and Jordan, near the Dead Sea. Nearly one thousand documents had been hidden there for safekeeping. Among the Dead Sea Scrolls was the Book of the Essenes, from which the following quote is taken: Kill not the food which goes into your mouth. For if you eat living food, the same will quicken you, But if you kill your food, the dead food will kill you also." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "Hargis, in his study paper entitled The Constantine conspiracy (also mentioned in chapter 5), points out that under the direction of the Roman Emperor Constantine, a large group of bishops, known as the Council of Nicea, met and worked together between the years 318 and 325 ad, to decide church doctrine." This group also decided which ancient texts would be included in what we now know as the Holy Bible.12 The Council of Nicea removed important spiritual and life information contained in many original scrolls." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Or, perhaps no one wanted to break the conspiracy of silence that has ruled the profession for at least a hundred years since we first denied the abuses perpetrated in state mental hospitals and more recently with drugs, electroshock, and lobotomy. MISSING THE CORRECT DIAGNOSIS TO RETURN TO MELVIN WORTHY'S story of psychosis and violence inflicted on his wife while he was taking Zoloft, psychiatrists employed by the state usually act on behalf of the state, that is, on behalf of the prosecution." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"To this day, some conspiracy theorists think that the water in the White House, Camp David, or the Bushes' Kennebunkport home was poisoned by none other than Saddam Hussein! may not produce enough tears, causing them to feel dry, gritty, and irritated. In some cases, completely closing the eyes becomes difficult, making them vulnerable to serious injury, including corneal ulceration (an open sore on the cornea) and possibly perforation. Finally, if the eyes can't fully close at night, sleeping becomes extremely difficult. WARNING SIGN Exophthalmos usually affects both eyes." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"There, they bumped into a couple, their neighbors, and he became convinced they, too, were in on the murderous conspiracy against him. He found himself backing against the walls of buildings to keep an eye on everyone. When it started to rain, his wife offered to give the neighbors a ride home with the two women sitting in the back. Now, Melvin visualized his wife getting ready to attack him from the backseat. Throughout this period of several days, Melvin Worthy often felt terrorized but at other times he was "high" and giddy with excitement." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"One favorite is the story of the beautiful and sophisticated princess foiled by a conspiracy of her own barons and a jealous neighboring queen. The well-remembered story of Mary Stuart, the French-speaking, Catholic queen of Scotland betrayed by Presbyterian lairds and judicially executed by Elizabeth I is eerily anticipated by the life of Amalasontha. For a historian attuned to the politics of jealousy (and in this Procopius has few equals), the year of Amalasontha's death was a rich one." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.) "In response, she initiated a conspiracy with the emperor: In return for the emperor's protection, Amalasontha proposed bringing her entire treasury—some three million gold solidi, more than ten tons of the precious metal—across the Adriatic to the Illyrian city of Dyrrachium (now in Albania).24 The emperor agreed, but in early 534, before Amalasontha could make her escape, her son Athalaric died of what Gibbon called "premature intemperance." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"The chapter of their book that especially rattled these companies was called "Evidence of an Illegal conspiracy by Industry."The title came directly from a 1973 memo by the Manufacturing Chemists Association's lawyers, warning that concealing evidence of the connection between vinyl chloride and cancer "could be construed as evidence of an illegal conspiracy by industry if the information were not made public or at least made available to the government." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)

"While this is not a conspiracy, it's a clever business and politically motivated strategy executed by organizations that know how to tell compelling stories with vivid language that will help sustain themselves. War imagery has a special power over the human psyche; it instills a sense of fear and urgency that prompts rapid action. It also provides cartes blanches for whoever declares the war. In light of the AD empire's fund-raising strategy, which takes the form of an ongoing war, we might well draw wisdom from George Orwell's cautionary words that "war is not meant to be won." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"But when you talk about an FDA and Monsanto conspiracy, I don't believe the word conspiracy is the rr1 most appropriate. I think that what we are dealing with are mindsets, coupled with conflicts of interest. The FDA's Center of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) has and continues to have close relationships with Monsanto, with a mutuality of interests. In addition, CVM staff have little or no public health or medical qualifications. Their interests have been and remain mainly in promoting agricultural interests and products. A: Let me interrupt you because we are running out of time." - Samuel S. Epstein, M.D., What's In Your Milk?: An Exposé of Industry and Government Cover-Up on the Dangers of the Genetically Engineered (rBGH) Milk You're Drinking (Get the book.)

"The legalization of aspartame (Equal and NutraSweet), linked to a host of illnesses from impotency to brain cancer, has engendered many conspiracy theories. Donald Rumsfeld was the CEO of G. D. Searle & Company, manufacturer of aspartame, throughout the regulatory period that approved its use in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Thanks to his clout, aspartame finally entered the food stream in 1982. Dr." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Could one talk about conspiracy here between psychiatrists and the pharmaceutical industry? " Dr. Channing Bolick: "Sure. One hand feeds the other. If the psychiatrist didn't have drugs to pass out, he is limited to whatever medical procedure he can do such as electric shock therapy, lobotomy and radical brain surgery, and other similar quackeries that torture people's brains - brutalize them. That's all they have in their books, and the public has wizened up and seen the horror of shock therapy and lobotomy these days and aren't supportive of them." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"And so like a large gray cloud, a great conspiracy of Scientific Complexity has gathered around the simplest questions of nutrition—much to the advantage of everyone involved. Except perhaps the supposed beneficiary of all this nutritional advice: us, and our health and happiness as eaters. For the most important thing to know about the campaign to professionalize dietary advice is that it has not made us any healthier." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"There isn't a vast conspiracy out to keep you from knowing about natural cures and treatments. There is, however, a shared and prevalent sensibility—one Fve tried to illustrate in the above text—that accomplishes the same thing. It's a sensibility created in part by the paradigm that looks at disease as simply a collection of dysfunctional molecules that can be "cured" or treated by finding a drug to interfere with them. And that discounts any treatment or intervention that can't be tested in the exact same way as you would test a drug." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"In her book The Salt conspiracy, Victoria BidWell states that table salt "is responsible for upsetting fluid homeostasis, debilitating circulatory system function and precipitating and/or aggravating a number of salt pathologies: edema, obesity, hypertension, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction [heart attack], angina pectoris, stroke, congestive heart failure, kidney failure, PMS, manic depression and many more." Table salt is a protoplasmic poison." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "This circle of profit is no conspiracy theory, but an easily provable fact. For example, Monsanto, a leading company of pesticides and genetically modified seeds, was owned by the Pharmacia Corporation, which sells prescription drugs. Merck is a pharmaceutical company that also produces chemicals and precursors for pesticides and other neurotoxins. Remember that these pesticides, herbicides and fungicides kill farm workers, who experience high cancer rates. Why would you want to support such an industry?" - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "Victoria further argues that for all practical purposes, there is a conspiracy to lace so many foods with high doses of salt. When health professionals petitioned in 1981 for a bill to limit and label the sodium content of processed foods, over 100 Representatives signed on as co-sponsors of the legislation, and numerous health organizations, including the American Medical Association, were in favor of it. But the bill was withdrawn after Congressmen were wined and dined by food producers. Refined Sugar Since the early 1900s, sugar consumption in America has increased tremendously." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Well the above numbers are facts, not a weird conspiracy theory. Let us repeat: the industry is "spending" tons of money on the members of USA House of Representatives and the USA Senate. It goes to "decision-makers," to opinion leaders, to KOLs (Key opinion leaders). So what does that mean? Well it simply means that Big Pharma protects its profits. 57 Peter Weaver, Smart Medicine, How to buy the prescription drugs you need a price you can afford, (Nashville, TN: Rutledge Hill Press, 2004), p. 13 Look at the Drug Stores. Many are expanding nationwide." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"In The Salt conspiracy, Victoria further points that since salt in the body holds 96 times its weight in water, the average American carries about 10-15 pounds of edema, or excess water weight, due to salt accumulation. This disrupts fluid balance, increases blood pressure and causes dehydration of blood capillar- ies. Half of Americans have high blood pressure by the age of 65, and high blood pressure is called a "silent killer" since one in four doesn't even know he has it." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"The renowned author, De Cava, simply talks about the "Cholesterol Conspiracy"94 as the "most inaccurate 91 Judith A. De Cava, Cholesterol, Facts & Fantasies, (Centerville, Massachusetts, 1994) 92 Lynne McTaggart, What Doctors Don't Tell You, (New York: Harper Collins, 2002) 93 Quotation found by Judith A. De Cava, p. 3 94 De Cava, p. 6 test,"95 and points to the "French paradox." French men eat LOTS of fat/cholesterol, and the death rate from heart diseases in France is lower than in USA (France, 95 out of 100,000 men versus the USA, 256 out of 100,000 men)." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"More uncovers the conspiracy, stops the placement of Heavy Sodium in the water supply, and thereby returns his patients to normal—their vitality, as well as their troubles, restored. In the place of Heavy Sodium, Dr. More calls for an authentic unmedicated human experience, however painful it may at times be." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"A spate of "natural cure" books have looked at some of the marketing practices of the drug companies, the power of the food companies and Big Pharma, and the porous influence of these huge conglomerates on agricultural policy and on the FDA, and these books and authors have concluded that it's all a great big government conspiracy to keep you from knowing what you need to get yourself well and to stay healthy and out of the medical system. That the big evil people in government and in power don't want you to know the truth." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"After making a few more phone calls, Grant was told point-blank to "stop creating a conspiracy theory." In the ensuing years, more and more cases of lupus would quietly emerge among people living in the East Ferry and Delavan-Grider neighborhoods, as would incidences of other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, multiple sclerosis, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Sjogren's syndrome, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, Graves' disease, type 1 diabetes, and myasthenia gravis." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)
