CONTROL OF ‘EVIDENCE’ Much ‘health-advice’ is based on ‘evidence’ - however, such evidence is too often ‘medically-biased’, which is achieved through a number of avenues. FUNDING SOURCES The medical industry is highly profitable so often funds its own research, either ‘in-house’ or through ‘independent studies’ within universities or other similar ‘reputable’ organisations. The medical industry often also funds interest groups to lobby government for health funding to favour medical-only research. GUIDELINE SETTING Easy to create specifc ‘evidence’ outcomes when one self-funds or influences the funding, then also sets/influences the guidelines under which the funding is to be allocated. DECISION-MAKERS Most if not all the decision-makers deciding allocation of these funds are of the same broad type of (medical) qualifications/experience - but draws from a wide range within that broadness to create the impression of health-industry-wide representation. Ultimately this creates a ‘group-think’ situation, which proved itself as early as the 1970s, to create very biased results and causing its own particular set of subsequent problems. WEIGHT OF EVIDENCE Most ‘evidence’ is therefore often provided by the medical industry itself and ensures funding is restricted mainly to ‘medical-science’, leading to biased claims there is ‘little or no evidence’ of effectiveness/safety of non-medical systems. The important scientific aspect of ‘weight of evidence’ favouring ‘medical’, is that there is a very big difference between ‘little/no effectiveness/safety evidence of non-medical systems’ after doing wide ranging and well-funded research, compared with ‘little/no evidence found’ by ensuring little to no funding goes to ‘non-medical’ research. DISMISS/IGNORE ‘UNFAVOURABLE’ RESULTS Even when thorough/extensive health research is conducted on non-medically-based health systems, the medical industry either dismisses such as ‘un-medical’ therefore ‘un-useable’, or simply ignores the results. This can also apply to medically-based research, where unfavourable results are simply not released. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ (Back) To … Main List of ‘Our View of Health’ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ WARNING: “SteveKineez”.Health may make it easier for you to form positive changes within and to your health/life. “SteveKineez” ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ (Back) To … Steve “Kineez” Whole Site Overview  Site-Wide Disclaimer and Copyright Notices
