The purpose of the "SELF STUDY Center" is to provide you with the lifestyle causes of health problems, so you can cure yourself by altering your lifestyle. As you read the clear, simple, logical answers we give you to the health problems that have plagued people for centuries, you will wonder, “Why hasn’t my doctor told me this?” The answer to this question is also clear, simple, and logical. It has to do with the nature of our culture and medicine's place within it.

In a capitalist culture, the ultimate purpose of a business is to generate profits. Medicine is a business, like every other, deriving its income from the sale of information and disease treatments, usually with drugs. This means that drug companies profit from disease. If an industry profits from disease, then it is invested in disease continuing. This is why research into the cause of disease is discouraged and ignored in medicine. The focus is on treatment, instead. If the treatment causes damaging side effects, then they will give you a treatment for the side effects. If the disease does not go away since the cause has not been stopped, then they will gladly refill your prescription. And if the drug stops working, don’t worry – they are about to announce that they are coming out with a new one. It will be hailed in the newspapers as a breakthrough, which is good for the drug company’s stock values.

When you are sick of being sick, try the lifestyle changes we recommend. And if you are sick of getting sick, realize that disease prevention takes maturity, commitment, and planning. Alter your bad lifestyles before they make you sick. The only ones to gain are yourself, and those who love you.
