Revealed: The "Secret Language Codes" Used by Doctors and Drug Companies to Manipulate Patients
by Mike Adams, NaturalNews Editor

(NaturalNews) Last year, I met a small, frail woman in Los Angeles who approached me after a speech I gave on nutritional cures. In a weak, crackled voice, she told me my speech was all wrong. There were no cures for diabetes or cancer, she said, and I was wrong to give people even a hint of hope at reversing disease.

She was a type-1 diabetes sufferer, and she talked about the disease as "my diabetes." She described the pharmaceuticals she was taking for hormone balance as "my medicine," and her description of her bone health included the admission that she had a disease called "osteoporosis" that caused her bones to become fragile.

It didn't take long to realize there was something odd about her choice of words. This wasn't the way healthy people talk... it was almost like she was speaking some sort of alien language that had been taught to her by doctors and health authorities -- a language that kept her trapped in a system of medical control.

That's when it hit me: She had adopted a new language of disease victimization that practically guaranteed she would stay sick forever! The owning of disease ("my" cancer), the possessive pronouns describing pharmaceuticals ("my" medicine), the belief in a condition called osteoporosis that causes fragile bones (hint: It's the other way around, see below)... it was all part of a new language of personal dis-empowerment being taught to patients by doctors and medical authorities! You might call it "medical psychobabble..." or the language of "anti-self-improvement."

Ultimately, I came to discover this was all part of a high-level linguistic technology used by doctors, journalists and health authorities -- a technology based on reprogramming the mind through virtually undetectable language sleights. I've come to call this the "Secret Language Codes" of modern medicine, and this article tells the story of discovering how these language codes were being used, reverse engineering them and creating a set of defencive strategies that completely disarm them.


Unveiling the Secret Language Codes of modern medicine
A few days after the speaking event in L.A., I was in my home, pouring through my personal library of digitized health books. I am perhaps the only person in the world who has personally scanned the full texts of over 1,200 health books, including medical encyclopedias and reference guides, giving me the largest private digital library of health books in the world.

Using powerful search software that I often rely on to conduct background investigations for feature stories on NaturalNews.com, I began to investigate the language patterns of patients who come into contact with western medical doctors.

And you won't believe what I found...

I discovered that before patients come into contact with western doctors regarding a health complaint, they only experience symptoms of discomfort or concern. They generally believe those symptoms have an underlying physiological cause, and that the symptoms are reversible.

But after contact with western doctors, everything changes! Their beliefs suddenly shift, and they now believe they have a "disease" (with a technical-sounding Latin name) and that their disease is incurable and can only be "managed" by medication or surgery.

Their ownership of those diseases also shifts from a dissociated perspective to a personal, possessive perspective. For example, if they had originally been experiencing symptoms of thirst and light-headedness, they talked about those symptoms as things separate from their definition of self (they don't walk around describing themselves as someone suffering from "thirst disorder," for example). But after visiting the doctor, they immediately assigned a name to the symptoms ("diabetes") and had taken ownership of the disease, talking about "my diabetes" or describing themselves as "being diabetic."

What was happening here? How was contact with doctors causing these people to change their language, their beliefs and their actions regarding disease? And why were these people suddenly so hopeless about the prospect of reversing the disease or health condition?


How it works: A virus of the mind
What I'm about to reveal here will startle you. You may even find it difficult to believe. Let me warn you that very few people are truly ready to accept that this is happening in our modern medical system, but as you'll soon come to see, it's 100% true and verifiable.

What I discovered is that doctors carry a form of infectious disease in their use of language. Technically, it could be called a "virus of the mind," and this virus is dangerously infectious. It can be so easily passed from one person to another that a single visit to the doctor causes most health consumers to catch this virus and suffer an infection of their own minds, language and thought processes.

Symptoms of infection include the shift of language patterns towards a victimization posture, surrendering to the medical advice of doctors, and abandoning all hope for self determination. In other words, people exposed to this virus of the mind become hopeless victims who verbally recycle medical babble while believing disease is a matter of fate or luck, not a result of causative actions.

In other words, they become the perfect victims to be exploited by Big Pharma and the conventional cancer industry!

And how is this virus of the mind propagated? As I later learnt, it is passed from person to person through the use of the Secret Language Codes of modern medicine I mentioned earlier.

These Secret Language Codes are extremely powerful in shaping the thoughts, beliefs and even the vocabularies of people, I learnt. But there's a defence against them: Through extensive research into linguistics, I came to discover something you're probably dying to know: The Secret Language Codes can be broken.

And I found out how. Below, I tell the story of how I came to crack these language codes, ultimately creating a twelve-hour audio course that reveals the secrets I uncovered along with foolproof strategies for defending against them.

That twelve-hour CD course comes with a printed transcript of the entire course, plus a reference chart detailing the secret language code patterns and the proper defences for protecting yourself from each of them.

You can pick up that course right now from Truth Publishing: http://www.truthpublishing.com/Prod...

The language codes I reveal in the course include these:

• Medication Possessive
• Projected Medication Possessive
• Disease Identity
• Disease Possessive
• Logic Binds
• Conceptual Confusion
• Medical Determinism
• Recruiting Reciprocation
• False Choice
• Time Compression Illusion

SCR: this is a wonderful article! I have to read it over again for the details, but I am in sync with its premise. Words count, thoughts count. Remember, the placebo effect is huge in PD patients ...

Obviously he is selling his product and I am not buying and I should have edited that part out. I was recently told by a neuro-surgeon over the telephone after viewing my most recent MRI that I needed a five level fusion in my neck. He said it was one of the worse neck MRI's he had seen in his entire career. He is in his 50's. I hung up and had a major shake-on knowing that I had to get it together enough to begin sorting it all out. More appointments, getting second opinions from hopefully the best in the field, which takes time. Being depressed, I was dragging my heels. Another assault on my health, just dandy.

I called the neuro-surgeon back with more specific questions like, "if you fuse five vertebrae and plate it, isn't it a known fact that the two free moving vertebra's on each side of the stationary plate go in approx. seven years"? We only have seven so I guess I could kiss any neck movement goodbye. He did not deny that this is a well known problem.

Not having enough facts; I met with him once, he says "well Bonnie, you won't have tingling and numbness in your arm and fingers" I told him that I didn't have tingling and numbness in my arm and fingers. He jumps right over those words and proceeds to tell me about a level 4 and 5 fusion he did on two patients the week past. I thought if my MRI was one of the worse he has seen; what were theirs like to warrant what I consider very drastic surgery?

I hope I am fortunate enough that I can have less invasive treatment as conservative treatment no longer seems an option. Multi level spinal stenosis and pd have similar symptoms and this was the reason why it was over-looked.

Words are powerful and I always use pd in lower case instead of PD to take some of that power away.

I edited this in respect to the doctor who recently surfaced on this forum, mentioning the anti-doctor postings made him a little leery. I have been guilty of this too many times. It has to be a win/win for both and what would we do without them? I can see the far from perfect system they have to work in as well.

Hi Bonnie,
Thank you so much for this and I do agree that it is very important material to consider. I also applaud you for not giving in to the waves of fear and anxiety that can propel one into hasty and unconsidered action when a doctor makes a pronouncement, before you have a chance to consider its merit for yourself including thinking through different angles that he/she might not have thought of.

As to the doctor who is leery of posting here, I didn't see that one, but I don't know what to say. I, too, feel very sympathetic now to the position of doctors who are basically backed into a corner, sanctioned only to give certain recommendations based on whichever company had the most money to fund a clinical study, and if they recommend anything different, insurance won't cover it, their reputations and 'credibility' may be compromised. And how does a doctor have time to research every little thing that comes up the pike that may prove helpful to someone sometime...I think that's where the power of the E-patient network is important and helpful.

Nonetheless, there has been incredible corruption and compromise of the medical establishment that developed particularly in the last decade or two. We need and have a right to discuss that if it's relevant to us. Doctors may have to be brave and actually listen to the true feelings, fears, and experiences of the population they serve and benefit from. I would applaud any who took the time and had the courage to respond.
