Identifying the Luciferian Globalists Implementing the New World Order – Who are the “Jews”?
A year ago this month I published an article that exposed who was behind the Plandemic and the riots that were breaking out in major urban areas across the United States. In that article, I clearly showed how the Globalists who control the affairs of the world are Satanists, and that their plans to implement a "New World Order" were nothing new with the 2020 great COVID-19 Plandemic, but had been many years in the making. This is an update to that article. Nothing has changed as to who is directing this march towards a New World Order, as at the top is a person named "Satan," or "Lucifer," or "the Devil," and it doesn't matter if your own belief system does not agree that this person exists, because the Globalists at the top of the power structure most certainly do, and they are active participants in Satanism. But a year later now, we can flesh out more who these people are, as many of them practice their Luciferian religion in secret, and we also now have the excellent 5-hour presentation by Altiyan Childs exposing Freemasonry from an insider perspective, where he calls Freemasonry "the world's oldest religion." After much research, I concur with this statement, and I believe that there is strong evidence that pretty much ALL of the world's religions are either part of Freemasonry, or strongly influenced by it, which is just another term for worshipping Satan. It is also time for me to more fully deal with the term "Jew," quite possibly the most misunderstood word in the English language. I will warn the reader right up front here that this article will most certainly upset the majority of people who read it, and almost everyone who reads it will find something to disagree with, but that's OK. As always, the primary goal of Health Impact News is to report on things that are routinely censored elsewhere, and to shine a light into the darkest corners of evil. So while you are likely to read things you do not agree with, you are also very likely to learn some things as well.
Furthering the Transgender Agenda: Study Funded by Chan Zuckerberg Initiative has Male Rats Give Birth
A new study that has yet to be peer-reviewed has been published by bioRxiv, part of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and funded by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, claims to have successfully created a rat model for male pregnancy. The success rate of their study was only 3.68%, and the lives of hundreds of embryos and dozens of adult rats had to be sacrificed to get 10 mice to be delivered alive from a male rat. And one has to wonder, what is the point of such a study?? While the study used dozens of male and female rats in various conditions, it appears that in able to get a male rat to deliver a live fetus, that at least 3 female rats are necessary, and at least two males. First, a female rat has to conceive the fetus, and a non-castrated male rat is obviously needed for that. Secondly, the castrated male rat needs a blood transfusion from a pregnant female rat to carry over female hormones and other things necessary to give birth. And lastly, a female rate has to have her uterus surgically removed and surgically placed into a castrated male rate. So in the end, a male rat can only give birth with the help of female rats and a non-castrated male rat to impregnate a female rat. So what's the point? Obviously the transgender agenda is well funded, and whatever their goals are, they are not "good" in any ethical sense of the word.
Dr. David Martin Exposes the False Foundation of Eugenics: “You Don’t Have DNA”
Yesterday we published a Q&A session given by Dr. David Martin and Dr. Judy Mikovits at the “Free & Brave” Conference held at the Church of Glad Tidings in May, 2021. I went to the Church of Glad Tidings website to see if some of the other sessions from the conference were there. It appears that some are, but maybe not all of them. Since I was a lot less familiar with Dr. David Martin than I am with some of the other participants in this conference, and since some of things he shared during the Q&A session with Dr. Mikovits were so fascinating, I decided to watch his 90+ minute presentation from the next day of the conference, "How Did We Get Here?" Dr. David Martin has a very long bio with years of experience, and if I were to copy it all here it would probably double the length of this article, so you can read it on his website. I have never read a bio as diverse as his, and it is likely you have not either. His 90-minute presentation challenged my thinking on several topics, and I don't necessarily agree with everything he says in his presentation, but that's a good thing. One of the problems with modern American culture is that we are conditioned to only seek out people who believe in and agree with the same things we think or believe in, and therefore we lose opportunities to grow in knowledge and benefit from the experience and wisdom of others. So when I learned what Dr. Martin's main premise was, which is that it is not the Federal Reserve and Central Bankers who control the U.S. financial system, but instead it is the Life Insurance industry, I was skeptical. And honestly, I have not had the time yet to research this topic and verify what he is claiming. But the other part of his main premise, which is that the Globalists use "science" to weaponize nature, and that at its core it has always been a eugenics system, that is definitely a topic I can resonate with from the years of publishing we have done here at Health Impact News, exposing the modern-day field of "genetics" as just "eugenics" at its core, which is the basis of modern medicine and the pharmaceutical industry. But he took it a step further from anything we have published, and made the bold claim that we don't have DNA, only chromosomes, and that DNA is only a model, developed to weaponize nature and science. So I have lifted that section out as an 8-minute clip, because I think this is a very important point to de-mystify for everyone, and is another part of removing the false gods our society has built to instill fear into us. If you find this 8-minute clip educational, then watch the entire 90-minute presentation, even if you don't agree with everything he says, because he presents many things you will not likely hear elsewhere. I have also provided a partial transcript of the 8-minute section on DNA.
The Most Important Truth about the Coming “New World Order” Almost Nobody is Discussing
A little over a year ago, before COVID-19, to bring up the subject of a "New World Order," or a "One World Government," was to be branded as a "conspiracy theorist," in spite of the fact that such global institutions as the World Economic Forum, the Rockefeller Foundation, and many other global institutions have been publishing materials on their view of the future for decades, and predicting things such as a major reduction of the world's population and a central world-wide government. Fast forward to today, June of 2021, and the idea is no longer so far-fetched, particularly for those who know how to bypass censorship in the corporate media and Big Tech. And yet even within the alternative media, for the most part only a single view of the coming New World Order is discussed, as if it is inevitable. Most see it as a future of increased technology, and words that were hardly a part of our vocabulary just some months ago, are now common, such as transhumanism, technocrats, mRNA, gene-altering, nanobots, etc. For those of us who completely understand that this has been part of a global plan that did not just hatch overnight with the "discovery" of a dangerous new "virus" that the globalists are using to instill fear into the population for the purpose of controlling humanity, we need to take a step back, I think, and ask ourselves: Are we falling into their trap in thinking this way? Is there an alternative view that is not only possible, but more plausible than the narrative that is currently circulating around in the alternative media?
The Finders: CIA Ties to Child Sex Cult Obscured as Coverage Goes from Sensationalism to Silence
Last year I reported on the work of the late Ted Gunderson, a former FBI Director who had investigated and uncovered much about the global child sex trafficking network run by Satanic groups, with ties to the group "The Finders" that Gunderson claimed was run by the CIA. Much of this underground network was revealed in 2016 with the Podesta leaked documents, although the corporate media brushed it aside as a "conspiracy theory" called "PizzaGate," and instead focused on trying to link Donald Trump to Russian election interference, while on the "Right" a psyop was launched known as "Q" to protect Trump from coming under any suspicion for his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and this underground network. We have also recently published the 5-hour video from Freemason insider and whistleblower Altiyan Childs, who calls Freemasonry primarily a "sex cult" and the oldest religion in the world that involves most of the Globalists who run the world. This incredible video is MUST WATCHING for anyone who has not viewed it yet, to more fully understand the times we currently live in, and how we got here. Notice the Freemason/Satanic symbol used by Gunderson on the cover of his report on "The Finders." Elizabeth Vos has started a new series on The Finders, and her first article was just published on Mint Press News.
It’s Time to Choose Sides: Do You Even Know What Side You Are On?
World events are speeding ahead at a record pace now, and it should be clear to just about everyone by now that we are witnessing a grand master plan to roll out a New World Order. There are very many signs now that we are facing an imminent collapse of our society's infrastructure, something few Americans are prepared to deal with. If some of these things being predicted, BOTH in the corporate media as well as in the alternative media, come to pass, we are going to see massive deaths and destruction at a level that will make 2020 and the COVID lockdowns seem like a vacation in comparison. It's time to choose sides, but sadly, the vast majority of the public is clueless as to what those sides are. There are rumblings among the Trump supporters that some states' election results are going to be overturned, and there is a lot of speculation now that the Office of the President of the United States may soon be turned back over to Donald Trump. If you are among the masses who currently believe that the choices now facing us are either a Biden administration, or some kind of insurrection to put Trump back in office, then you are simply following this grand master plan that has been in the works for a very long time now, and you are walking right into their trap. So what I am going to do first in this article is explain to you the principle of "order out of chaos," sometimes also referred to as the Hegelian principle. Then I will explain what your REAL choices are.
The Seal and Mark of God is Far More Important than the “Mark of the Beast” – Are You Prepared for What’s Coming?
During these dark and troubled times, the topic of "the mark of the beast" as mentioned in the Bible is getting a lot of press, especially in relation to the bioweapon COVID-19 shots, and transhumanism. However, I have yet to see anyone address the mark and seal of God, also mentioned in the Bible, and so this article will address this, and hopefully dispel some myths and provide some reassurance and comfort to those who are needlessly fearing the "mark of the beast" and becoming a "transhuman."
Insider Exposes Freemasonry as the World’s Oldest Secret Religion and the Luciferian Plans for The New World Order
Altiyan Childs is a former Australian Rock musician, and a former Freemason. In 2010 he won The X Factor talent show award, which boosted his career in music to stardom status. In a video he released last month, he announced that he has now put his life on the line to renounce his secret Freemason vows. His life has recently changed after being awakened in a speeding car that was heading straight into a brick wall because the driver had fallen asleep. He says he heard a whisper in his ear that woke him from a deep sleep, and that he was able to grab the steering wheel and avoid the crash. "I shouldn't be here today," he states. The penalty for renouncing your vows in Freemasonry is death, but he feels compelled to expose Freemasonry for what it is: the oldest religion in the world. According to Childs, almost every notable person running the world today, from politics to business to entertainment, got there through Freemasonry. And his 5 plus hour video was produced to convince you that this is true, from an insider perspective, and to warn about what is soon coming: the implementation of the Luciferian New World Order. It took me a few days to watch the entire 5 hours, and when I finished earlier today, I told my friend who recommended the video to me: "My life will never be the same after watching this. I will not sleep tonight until I publish this (on Health Impact News)." While I have come to know much of what is in this presentation over the years, there was much more that I did not know and learned from this video. This video is not for everyone. It falls into the Created4Health category of Health Impact News. Much of what we have published for the past year plus on the Plandemic, and the coming New World Order, will now make much more sense once you finish viewing this video. Think of this as the spiritual perspective, the driving force behind the plan to reduce the world's population dramatically, by killing off many of the world's inhabitants. You will be able to better understand why people can be so evil, and invent things like the bioweapon COVID-19 shots that are designed to kill off a major portion of the world's population, with tens of thousands of deaths already recorded, and maybe hundreds of thousands more that have not. It is well worth the 5 hours of investment in your time, I guarantee. Only an insider from the world of Freemasonry could produce something like this, and the world owes a great deal of gratitude to Altiyan Childs for taking the time to present this. It may very well cost him his life (physical), and he knows it. I am NOT exaggerating when I say that your life may very well depend on knowing what is contained in this video for what is about to happen in our world, and taking action accordingly.
Mike Adams Interviews Dr. Stella Immanuel About the COIVD Injections: A Luciferian Agenda Targeting Humanity
Mike Adams of NaturalNews.com interviewed Dr. Stella Immanuel today on his Brighteon platform as part of his "Brighteon Conversations." Readers of Health Impact News will be familiar with Dr. Stella Immanuel of the Frontline Doctors, who runs her own medical clinic in Houston. Mike and Dr. Stella discuss the COVID-19 injections, and discuss the spiritual battle with the Luciferian Agenda.
Living in Enemy Territory: Is This What you Want America? If not, Here’s What Needs to Happen to Take America Back
Those of us living in the United States are currently living in enemy-occupied territory. The criminals running the country are the Wall Street Billionaires, mostly from Big Pharma and Big Tech, and their Central Bankers. (Throughout the rest of this article I will refer to them as the "Globalists.") They didn't use coercion, they didn't use superior firepower like tanks and SWAT teams, they just simply declared a "pandemic" over a "killer virus" and then told everyone to go home and stay there, and to make sure they always wore a mask, even indoors, and to stop assembling with one another. They basically declared the Constitution of the United States null and void, so they could "fight the virus" with "emergency orders" which they claimed superseded the Constitution. Oh I think there were battle plans in place. Everyone expected major upheaval and fighting around the national elections and inauguration last year. After all, we got a taste of it in most of the major urban areas last summer, starting in Minneapolis. But my guess is that the Globalists saw how successful their reign of fear worked, and how pathetic the "insurrection" was in D.C. in early January, that they just decided to go full speed ahead and start injecting everyone and kill off a major portion of the population that way, since there has been basically no opposition to their evil plans so far. No tanks, no armed forces, no "dirty" bombs - just lies and propaganda broadcast through their corporate media were all they needed to set their plan in place. They now control all three branches of the federal government, the economy, and for the most part the day-to-day lives of the American population. They still have a lot of work to do, for sure, to transition to a one-world government with a one-world digital currency, ruling over the masses that they want to significantly deplete through genocide, using the new COVID injections which are still only 4 months into the roll out. They have absolutely no intention to allow Americans' lives to return to "normal," now defined as vintage 2019 life. If we continue on our current course, things are going to get a LOT worse. Deaths and destruction are going to start multiplying by the end of the year, making 2020 look like a year-long vacation. Is this the USA you want America? If not, I am going to outline in this article what needs to happen to take back control of this country.
Wisconsin Catholic Priest Defies Authorities and Warns His Flock on the Dangers of the COVID Injections
We've called out those in the clergy who have claimed to represent Christ and are urging people to go out and get the COVID injections, so it is only proper that we also give credit to the clergy when credit is due. A Catholic priest in Wisconsin, James Altman of St. James The Less in La Crosse, has incurred the wrath of the corporate media for daring to defy health regulations, and for warning his congregation about the experimental COVID shots, pleading with them to NOT get them and become "guinea pigs." James Altman has pretty much defied everyone in authority above him: the local health department, the Bishop William Callahan of the Diocese of La Crosse, and the Pope himself, all who support COVID measures such as masks, limiting indoor gatherings, and the deadly experimental shots. This of course infuriates the corporate media and the corporate church. James Altman is obviously more concerned for his parishioners than he is about his own reputation and position in the corporate church, and for that we salute him, and pray for God's protection over him.
Your Life Today Depends on What and Whom You Fear: A Virus, or God?
"Do not call conspiracy everything that these people call conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it. The LORD Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread." (Isaiah 8:11-13) The Bible has a lot to say about "fear." In short, fearing the wrong things or wrong people can lead to your death, while appropriate fear will lead to life.
44-Year-Old Pastor DEAD after Moderna COVID Shot – Wanted Other Pastors and African Americans to Follow her Example and Take the Shot
Dr. Kimberly Credit was the first female pastor at the Mount Zion Baptist Church in Boonton Township, New Jersey. She had a master’s degree in divinity and a doctorate in ministry, and she was the founder of The Preaching Lab Podcast. On February 10th, she was injected with the first experimental Moderna mRNA injection at a public event where she was interviewed by the New York Times and a local TV news outlet. She stated publicly on her Facebook Page: "As a leader, I want to lead by example especially for Pastors and the African American community. Got my first vaccine dose today. Thank you to Pastor Joe Carter for his leadership in pulling Black Clergy together and for allowing me to pray live for our news outlets. Thank you New York Times and Channel 2 News for interviewing me. #DoTheResearch #BeInformed #OurTrustIsInGod #WeNeedEveryoneVaccinatedToEndThis." Since the second Moderna shot is given 28 days after the first one, she would have received her second injection around March 10th. On Easter Sunday, April 4, 2021, the day before she died, she posted a message on her Facebook page about listening to an online event that evening and prefaced it with this statement: "Listen... let me say this before I get a good and needed nap in." Whether her fatigue and need for a nap was her usual Sunday routine, or because she was feeling ill, is not certain. She was scheduled to lead The Preaching Lab podcast that next day, and posted a reminder in the morning to join the livestream that evening. It was her last public post, as she died later that day, before the scheduled podcast. Her obituary states that she died “suddenly and without warning.”
Replacing God with Medicine: 21st Century “Idolatry”
This article was originally published on October 4, 2015, on our Create4Health.org website. But it is far more relevant today, than the day it was written 6.5 years ago. For those of you just now waking up to the corruption and evil in the modern medical system, this article will, at the very least, show that this corruption has been around for a very long time, and that the things you are observing today, as horrific as they are, did not just happen overnight. The heart of idolatry is looking to sources outside of God for our basic needs and desires in life. The idols that are erected flow out of our experiences in life, and the idol is an attempt to explain life apart from the Creator. The cure for idolatry is belief and trust in God our Creator and Redeemer. Faith in God our Creator and the Redeemer Jesus, is the opposite of idolatry, and recognizes that life depends on God the Creator, and that redemption, the forgiveness of sins and spiritual rebirth, comes from a relationship with Jesus.
Land of Opportunity? Many Pregnant Women Now Crossing the Border into the U.S. to Sell Their Babies
Owen Shroyer documents in this video how dozens of pregnant illegal immigrants in downtown McAllen, Texas are being caravanned to the corrupt and complicit Rio Grande Valley Catholic Charity in the dark of night to avoid being caught for their criminal activity. As we have reported many times here at Health Impact News, and especially on our MedicalKidnap.com website, the buying and selling of babies and children is one of the most lucrative businesses in the world. These pregnant mothers were obviously offered a large sum of money to bring their child to full term and sell them in the U.S., the #1 destination for child trafficking in the world. Many of them were probably also enticed with stories about how their child will grow up in a rich home in the U.S. and have full U.S. citizenship for being born in the U.S. Some are giving up their babies through coercion and force, because their "handlers" struck a deal with someone who has control over the mother. But one thing is certain: once their child is born and processed into the U.S. Child Welfare system, they will have NO control over what happens to their baby. That decision will be made by others, and the baby will be placed wherever the money trail leads. Some may actually be adopted out to rich people who can afford them, primarily adults who are infertile and cannot conceive their own children, including homosexual couples. These children will be the most fortunate ones, if they actually end up with a family who wants to have children only because they cannot have their own biological children. But the vast majority will be used for sexual trafficking, pornographic videos, or worse. Some will be used for drug research, such as the booming market for "young blood" and drugs derived from the blood "harvested" from babies and young children. Others will be murdered for body parts, either while they are still in their mother's womb, or in the early years after they are born. And this includes the manufacturing of vaccines.
Franklin Graham Reveals He is Part of the Globalist New World Order Agenda – Urges Christians to Get the COVID Shot because “Jesus Christ would Advocate for People Using Vaccines”
Franklin Graham, the president and CEO of Samaritan's Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, recently told his 9.6 million Facebook followers that: "I think Jesus Christ would advocate for people using vaccines and medicines." Ten days before this post, he told ABC News: "I think if there were vaccines available in the time of Christ, Jesus would have made reference to them and used them." Mr. Graham is either unfamiliar, or doesn't care, that the English word for "medicine" in the Greek language that was used to write the New Testament part of the Bible, is pharmakeia, from which we get modern English words such as pharmacy, pharmaceuticals, etc. However, the modern English translations never translate pharmakeia as medicine. Probably because it is referred to as a bad, sinful behavior, and usually translated as "witchcraft," or "sorcery." It is associated with Satan, the Devil, and not Jesus. Jesus healed by his own power, and not by pharmakeia. Franklin Graham is neither a licensed medical doctor, nor does he appear to be very well educated about the contents of the Bible. I guess it is time to give exposure to the other perspective on the Graham family that is seldom, if ever, talked about in Christian circles.
Famous Polish Film Producer Creates Documentary Exposing the Sale of Babies for Sex and Organ Harvesting – If You can Handle it
We are currently seeing an unprecedented number of children streaming across the U.S. border from other countries without their parents. This is the lucrative child trafficking business, and while news sources, both corporate and alternative news, are reporting the crisis at the border, few are explaining why this is happening, or what is going to happen to these children. If you truly want to know what the fate is for many of these children, then proceed to read about a new documentary just released by Polish film producer Patryk Vega, called "Eyes of the Devil." The Polish version on YouTube has now been viewed by about 6 million people, and the English version, with English sub-titles and English voice-overs, has just been released. But I cannot give strong enough warnings about what you will see, and how that could affect your emotional health. I have covered the child trafficking subject for over 6 years now, and have dealt with many dozens of victims during this time while learning about the most depraved condition of the human race. When I first started MedicalKidnap.com back in 2014 along with two other people, I seldom got a good night's sleep, and was very sick for 6 months, so horrible were the stories we were discovering and reporting on. But nothing prepared me for what I saw and heard when I watched Patryk Vega's new documentary, "Eyes of the Devil." I had to stop the video many times and walk away, weeping. If you are new to this topic, this is NOT the place to start. You could seriously suffer traumatic emotional and mental harm from watching this, and under no circumstances should children watch any of this. So why am I publishing it? Because it is time for people to WAKE UP! This is happening all across the U.S., in your city, in your county.
Lost Generation? America’s War Against Parents and the Destruction of Childhood
Dr. Rachel Levine, born as Richard Levine, the name his parents gave to him, is a transgender doctor who has been nominated by the Biden administration to serve as the Assistant Secretary of Health. Levine has two children, David and Dayna, through his ex-wife Martha Peaslee Levine. They allegedly divorced in 2013, after Richard Levine transitioned into a woman and became Rachel Levine. Rachel Levine is a pediatrician who served as Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Health from 2017 to 2021, and is also a professor of pediatrics and psychiatry at the Penn State College of Medicine. In Dr. Levine's confirmation hearing before the U.S. Senate today, Senator Rand Paul questioned Levine on the topic of genital mutilation of minors, which is universally condemned by organizations such as the World Health Organizaion, the United Nations Children Fund, and the United Nations Population Fund, where genital mutilation is recognized as a violation of human rights. Senator Paul also addressed the issue of forcing minors to take hormone blocking drugs against the advice of their parents, and specifically asked if Dr. Levine would condemn these practices. Dr. Levine refused to answer the questions. While transitioning children's gender and the market growth for hormone blocking drugs has been increasing in recent years, this assault on children and the transgender political agenda has gone into overdrive now since COVID last year, as the Globalists use medical tyranny to fast-track their agenda, which includes destroying parenthood by removing parental rights, and giving the task of raising children to the State. In Washington D.C., for example, a bill was introduced in October that would allow children as young as 11 years old to consent to receive a COVID vaccine without their parents' approval or even knowledge. And while children have a near ZERO percent chance of dying from COVID, social distancing and isolation measures with roots in CIA torture have been implemented for almost a year now, causing far more harm to children than any "virus" could.
Those Who Persevere Will Receive What is Promised – Those Who Shrink Back Will be Destroyed
Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering. Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions. So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For in just a very little while, "He who is coming will come and will not delay. But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him." But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved. (Hebrews 10:32-39)
Scientific “Proof” is a Myth: The Limitations of Science and the Medical Paradigm
Science has lifted us from the ignorance of the Dark Ages into the understandings we hold today. It has increased our standards of living, lengthened our life spans, and enriched our lives in every way. Music, the arts, our governments, our social customs, our religious beliefs, our educational institutions, our recreations, our modes of travel, our means of communicating, our working, our eating, our sleeping—all aspects of our culture have been transformed by the touch of technology. It is little wonder, then, that we have become conditioned to look to science for the solutions of all our problems and for the answers to life’s questions. But science, powerful as it is, is a false god. Awed by the spectacular material advancements science has brought us, we have come to expect more of science than it is capable of delivering. Many individuals, not recognizing the limitations of science, stand in expectation of results that will never come. Science does not have all the solutions. It does not have all the answers. It never has and it never will. The purpose of this article is to clearly present science for what it is—no more and no less. Many answers can be obtained by the scientific method, but there are many more that cannot. It is not my intent to destroy your faith in science. As a lifetime professional scientist myself, I am duly respectful of its potential. I am also aware of its limitations. When it comes to consideration of life in its fullness, these limitations are very great. Therefore, while I don’t want to destroy your faith in science, I do want to disturb it and to encourage you to question its validity as an approach to living. In order to clearly understand the limitations of science, one must first have a clear picture of what science is. Interestingly enough, there is a large fraction of scientists who do not have an accurate and complete picture of the boundaries of science. This might sound hard to believe, but it is true. It is entirely possible to practice science to a high level of success in obtaining useful, valid results, while at the same time never being fully aware of its limits. In an analogous way, it is entirely possible, if not common, for doctors to practice medicine without being aware of its limits. In fact, it is not at all uncommon for people to confuse medicine with science. And neither is it unusual for doctors to confuse science with technology. The practice of medicine, while it may be partially described as “applied technology,” is not a science. While medicine bases some of its practices on scientifically derived data, the practice of medicine is not, itself, a science. Medicine is a discipline of opinion where accepted standards of practice are determined by a consensus of the majority, not by the scientific method. The reason the limits of science are not widely recognized and understood lies in our educational systems, which train scientists and health care providers in how to exercise the methods of science and apply their results, but do not encourage a questioning of the fundamental assumptions behind the methods themselves. The purpose of medical training is unquestioning indoctrination, not cognitive education. It is to promote, protect, and apply the prevailing paradigm—not to question it.
