One medical "fact" that the majority of people living in western countries today accept as "true", is that smoking cigarettes leads to lung "cancer", and that tobacco is a "toxic" substance...

But is it true?

 

Can we trust our government when it comes to health advice?

 

Have they "ever" lied to us in the past about health or diseases...?

First, think about it logically...

 

People have smoked tobacco for hundreds, if not thousands of years.

U.S. Government "experts" figured out only in 1964 that cigarettes caused cancer and were bad for health, as the Surgeon General put out a warning declaring that cigarettes were bad for one's health.

Was there actually any evidence or credible science to back this up, or were other interests in play behind this warning?

Fortunately, if one decides to search out the evidence themselves, there is plenty of evidence and research to show the opposite, that,

  • tobacco does not cause cancer

  • that as a natural plant, it actually has some therapeutic properties, which at one time seemed to be well-known...

I want to state up front that I do not smoke cigarettes, and never have (I never enjoyed them, even when I was in high school and most of my friends smoked them), and that I have no economic ties at all to the tobacco industry.

Neither am I recommending that anyone should either start smoking tobacco, or quit smoking tobacco.

That is an individual choice, and my sole interest is in publishing the truth, and giving further reasons why,

it is unwise to trust our current medical system and the government alphabet agencies that protect them,

...rather than protecting the health of the American public.

 

If there are indeed therapeutic properties to tobacco, such as relieving neurological disorders like Parkinson's Disease, Big Pharma would have plenty of motivation to suppress that information in favor of their pharmaceutical patented drugs.

 

Also, cancer has always been the largest money-maker in the pharmaceutical industry, and there is plenty of evidence that,

cancer is a modern disease caused by pharmaceutical products, especially most recently as a known side-effect of the experimental COVID shots,

...so they need alternative products to blame for the ever-increasing cancer rates that bring in $billions to Big Pharma, while continuing to propagate the lie that,

"there are no cures for cancer",

...when in fact there are many, but all of them are banned by the FDA.

 

 

 

 

Unapproved but Effective Cancer Cures

Fortunately, others have already published quite a bit of information on the subject of tobacco and the U.S. Government's war against it.

 

One book that I read in preparation for this article is "In Defense of Smokers" by Lauren A. Colby, and originally published in 1996.

 

Lauren Colby is an attorney, and I want to quote one section from Chapter 2 - The Burden of Proof:

There is an Internet News Group devoted to smoking (alt.smokers).

 

Recently, a participant called the Office of Smoking or Health, in an effort to find out how the government arrives at its estimate of 450,000 annual smoking related deaths.

 

After repeated calls to different individuals within the government, it turned out that nobody really knew how the figures are compiled.

 

Some bureaucrat said he thought the calculations might come from a book, "Foundations of Modern Epidemiology", by David Lilienfeld.

 

They don't. I'll discuss this and other interesting statistical manipulations, later.

 

Before leaving this subject, however, a recent (04/19/95) letter to the editor of the San Jose, Ca., Mercury News sheds some light on the methods used by the anti-smoking lobby to generate false reports of "smoking related" deaths.

 

The author of the letter, Mary Ellen Haley, reported that a loved one died of adenocarcinoma.

 

Only 17 days elapsed from the deceased's first visit to the doctor to the day of his death. The letter writer was provided with the information for the death certificate, which she took to the attending physician for completion.

 

On the death certificate there was a line for the doctor to insert the immediate cause of death, and then three lines for "due to".

 

The doctor inserted "cigarette smoking" under "due to".

 

The letter writer questioned the doctor:

was he sure the tumor was caused by cigarette smoking?

The doctor said he wasn't sure about that, but there were guidelines issued by the American Cancer Society, and that when a person dies of certain conditions and has smoked, the doctor is instructed to list the "due to" as "smoking".

 

In this instance, Ms. Haley persuaded the doctor to omit the usual "due to cigarette smoking", but obviously, this was a rare occurrence.

 

The willingness of the medical profession to blindly observe "guidelines", issued by the Cancer Society generates a continuous stream of death certificates, validating the official line that cigarette smoking causes everything from heart disease to uterine cancer.

 

Yet, there is no shred of scientific evidence to validate any of the certificates; they are based on nothing more than official instructions to put down smoking as the cause of death!
