EXPOSED: The Fatal Flaw of Modern Medicine

In this episode, I’m going to explain the species-wide concept and how our DNA only recognizes nature specific to our species. Why modern science through animal research is like a kaleidoscope, a distorted anamorphoric lens from reality.

Show Transcript

Nutrition is remarkable in its ability to have people with completely opposite views saying they have science to support completely opposite views. Frustrating, isn’t it? What are we supposed to believe?

In this training, I’m going to explain why 90% of normal brain function is stimulated through the movement of your spine and how we were designed to translate that motion every day.

In our last show, I talked about the PARABLE OF THE MARINE BIOLOGIST. Let me revisit that parable.

A young woman walked up to a marine biologist and asked her to help her pet dolphin, which appeared ill. The woman continued to point to a shark and asked her to cut up and study everything she could about the shark to formulate a pharmacology product to give to the dolphin?

The marine biologist looked perplexed. “That is absurd, in fact, pseudoscience… This is a shark. I should study the dolphin,” she said.

The marine biologist, along with any geneticist or zoologist, would agree. What algorithm could they develop to safeguard the health of the dolphin if the research was based on the physiology of sharks?

“That is ridiculous, study the dolphin,” added the marine biologist.

“Why? They both live in the ocean. They are both fish,” replied the young woman.

“It is a totally different species; it has a completely different genome and genetic code. In fact, no biologist, geneticist, zoologist, or scientist would study a different species to recommend a pharmacology product for any reason!” cried the marine biologist. “You might as well ask me to study a snail to treat an angelfish,” snapped the marine biologist.

The young woman stared in confusion and asked an obvious question. “So why are we studying rats, mice, rabbits, and others to formulate pharmacology for humans?”

Did you get the parable?

Meaning of The Parable | EXPOSED: The Fatal Flaw of Modern Medicine

The parable highlights the importance of studying the appropriate species when formulating solutions or products. It is not logical to study the physiology and genetic code of one species and apply it to another, as they may have different needs. Similarly, when it comes to nutrition, varying opinions and conflicting studies must consider individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

Let me gently tell you that I see the great value of rat science. I honor the scientists who study rats and believe they provide the baseline for our advancement in science. However, my experience with the literature shows that rats are not a high qualitative standard for human health. Every scientist agrees that we would be better off studying humanity for humanity—not a rat for humanity. I honor those committed to this type of science because their work is crucial.

Humans have been studying thousands of different species for years. We have specialized PhDs in numerous disciplines studying every aspect of science. Trying to compile a list of these specialists would be painstaking. In ecology, no one studies a different species to understand anatomy, physiology, genetics, and nutrition.

To think that rats and other animals are similar to humans matters not. When we study an earthworm, we study the earthworm; we won’t study a frog. Could it be that comparing the biology of a rat species to a human species is simply the wrong paradigm?

Take a moment to reread the statistics about modern medicine. Perhaps extrapolating data from other animal species to compare with humans is simply the wrong paradigm when we can study healthy human subjects from our ancient ancestors and modern hunter-gatherers exhibiting exceptional levels of health. Perhaps sickness/disease-based care on the “diseases of civilization” is simply the wrong paradigm for finding solutions for chronic disease prevention and treatment?

If we expanded our vision of healthcare beyond sickness and disease to focus on the true drivers of health, we could create a healthcare system that studies both pathology and human healthology! Now you’re looking at biology through a different set of lenses. Let’s focus on the next concept of health promotion: the species-wide concept.

The Species Wide Concept

The species-wide concept is a health driver attribute because it explains how each species on Earth has a blueprint specific to that species. It has a specific set of genetic requirements, laying the foundational raw requirements for that species.

Let me illustrate this using nocturnal creatures. Nocturnal animals have highly developed senses of hearing, smell, and specially adapted eyesight. Makes perfect sense, right? They need to be able to hunt and see in the dark. Some animals, like cats and ferrets, can adapt to both low and bright light levels, while others, like bush babies and some bats, function only at night.

These specialized adaptations help certain species avoid hunting in intense sunlight. Most humans are diurnal, but some people are temporarily or habitually nocturnal. You might know some!

So why is this important? A recent study attempts to answer why many modern mammals retain nocturnal characteristics despite not being active at night. Several survival adaptations cause these evolutionary changes.

Hawks and owls can hunt the same field for the same rodents without conflict due to their different activity periods. Nocturnality is a form of crypsis, an adaptation to avoid or enhance predation. Lions prefer hunting at night because many of their prey have poor night vision. Some small rodents are active at night to avoid daytime predators.

Another reason for nocturnality is to avoid daytime heat, especially in arid regions where it prevents water loss. Many plant species native to arid biomes have adapted to open their flowers at night when the sun’s heat won’t damage them, with bats serving as pollinators.

If we drastically changed Earth’s conditions to force a nocturnal bat to live and hunt during the day, it would stress the bat—this incongruence could lead to death. That’s a species-wide phenomenon.

Now, let’s consider the implications for human health. If we were studying a diurnal species, like humans, would it make sense to study a nocturnal eye and formulate a pharmaceutical product based on that research?

Think carefully; many believe scientists are smarter than that, but are they really? I have more to reveal shortly. But first, let’s explore the species-wide concept because it will help you discern through the confusing expert opinions out there.

The Ancestral Health Movement | EXPOSED: The Fatal Flaw of Modern Medicine

If we can understand various aspects of fossilized dinosaurs—how they ate, moved, and coped with stressors—we can apply similar research to humanity.

The Ancestral Health Movement, alongside evolutionary biologists and functional medicine practitioners, is conducting global research on these very topics. This research inspired my discovery of The Five Pillars of Dynamic Health and laid the groundwork for a new healthcare model. In the next Dynamism Biohack, we’ll explore this model using fresh concepts from various scientific branches, highlighting accurate methodologies and what to prioritize.

As we’ve discussed, always question when experts reference studies: was it human? For a deeper understanding of animal research’s role in health science, check out our article on the importance of animal research in modern health science.
