10 Truths About Health We Were Never Taught
The orthodox healing system has failed because, from an overly narrow and materialistic outlook, disease has been conceived as something that attacks us from without—due to germs. In reality, disease—whether of body, mind, soul, or estate—is mostly a gradual degenerative process occurring within, caused by failure to comply with the requirements of well-being.
This sums up the trap of the medical system and the now dis proven germ hypothesis. It is seductive to believe we are victims of germs, bad genes, or external forces beyond our control. That belief relieves us of responsibility for our own health and that of our dependents—and the industry is happy for us to believe it.
During the COVID era, people were even encouraged not to do their own research and to listen only to approved experts. What is hidden is that most disease builds slowly from within and results from daily choices—how we think and how we live. No doctor or “expert” can fix those things with a label, a pharmaceutical, or a procedure.
The entire complicated system of orthodox modern diagnosis and treatment is based on a misconception: it mistakes the symptom for the disease. Tinkering with effects while ignoring causes has always led—and will always lead—to deplorable consequences.
While Dr. Williams criticized this system in the mid-19th century, it has since become even more absurd. By 2024, there were reportedly around 44,000 official diseases, each with its own tests and treatment protocols, driving staggering and ever-increasing costs.
Symptoms are the body’s attempts to heal itself. Allopathic medicine aggressively suppresses them and calls that success. Suppression may bring short-term relief, but it often creates long-term problems. Worse still, people are labeled with diagnoses and placed on lifelong medications that never address root causes—adding more chemicals the body must eliminate. You do not become unwell from a pharmaceutical deficiency.
Disease is not some mysterious entity that attacks healthy people. Those who live healthfully seldom become sick. We make ourselves ill.
Ironically, many doctors are taught the opposite. Medical students often develop anxiety, believing cancer or other serious conditions could strike them at any time. Some even present to emergency departments convinced they are dying after misinterpreting bodily sensations.
High blood pressure is often used as an example: people are told it kills silently and without warning, reinforcing fear and dependence on medication rather than understanding causes. While there are exceptions—such as children, dependents, or intentional harm—outside of these, individuals are largely responsible for their own health. Disease accumulates over time through diet, thoughts, and daily choices.
If there ever existed—or ever will exist—a man who could cure by medicine or surgery and immunize by vaccine, he would be the greatest enemy mankind ever knew.
Once the true basis of disease is understood, most allopathic methods appear preposterous. Yet populations have been mesmerized into believing that synthetic chemicals, amputations, and injections of disease products produce health. Through this belief, the medical-pharmaceutical industry has grown into an all-encompassing juggernaut.
Symptoms have dual significance. They are nature’s warnings that we have strayed from natural law, and they are evidence of nature’s method of cure.
Many people want symptoms to disappear but refuse to change the lifestyle that caused them. When symptoms are ignored, problems persist or worsen. Then, as Dr. Williams described, along comes a medicine man who silences the warning signals, creating a false—and often fatal—sense of security.
Symptoms also reveal how the body is attempting to heal. Paying attention to them often points directly to the cure.
Operations are among the most lucrative items in orthodox medicine’s stock and trade. They must be sold, otherwise people may not buy them.
People fear surgery, but they can be made to fear sickness more. Governments often boast about the number of surgeries performed, as though more operations equate to better healthcare. In reality, many surgeries should never be performed. The money and prestige convince the public that such interventions must be powerful, while fear campaigns make people surprisingly willing to submit to the scalpel.
Three factors make cancer fatal:
Continuation of the cause
Orthodox efforts to cure
Fear and belief in in-curability
In medical practice, cancer is treated as something that simply happens. The focus is on imaging, biopsies, and blood tests—not on why the individual reached that point. Dr. Eric Williams rejected this thinking, emphasizing lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, psychological state, and habitual thought patterns.
He criticized the belief that cancer-causing agents like radiation and chemotherapy could cure cancer, and he urged patients not to view cancer as a death sentence. The power to heal lies with the individual, not with expensive or aggressive treatments.
The tendency of orthodox medicine is to create and perpetuate sickness and make it attractive to those lacking the moral qualities required for healthy living.
Dr. Williams once stated that perhaps 80% of modern medicine is a gigantic, cruel, ludicrous, lucrative fraud. While that may once have shocked, today it seems an underestimate. The system preys on the desire to outsource health rather than make meaningful lifestyle changes.
Perhaps the greatest crime of modern medical “science” is the suppression of acute illness. Suppression typically leads to one of four outcomes:
The patient dies
Chronic and often incurable disease develops
The body stages repeated healing crises
The body heals despite treatment, and the doctor takes credit
Healing crises—such as measles, boils, bronchitis, or colds—are not diseases but the body’s efforts to cleanse itself of toxins. Suppressing these processes interferes with genuine healing.
The intelligence that designed the human body was not inept. Are we to believe it created this marvel and left it helpless against every passing germ?
This realization caused a profound shift in our understanding of health in 2020, reinforced in 2021 by Dr. Williams’ words. We no longer believe illness strikes randomly with age. Instead, the body constantly strives toward balance—unless we interfere.
Since then, we have completely transformed our food, water, environment, and ways of thinking. Now, every decision is guided by a simple question: Are we engaging in right thinking and right living?
Learning can feel overwhelming at first, but once applied, the principles remain consistent and the process becomes easier. Dr. Williams’ wisdom has deeply benefited our family, and it is our hope to pass it on to you through this rekindled work called Terrain Therapy.
