How do we know what to believe and what to dismiss? How are we able to separate fact from fiction or fact from self serving agendas or from out right misrepresentations?
How do we trust the person or media who is telling us something? Are they telling us or providing information for us to make our own decisions regarding eating right and natural healing?
Today, finding a truth is easier than ever, there are no important secrets floating around out there that don't eventually have a thread to the Internet.
Everything is at our finger tips....there is literally access to every major university in the world, the worlds libraries, newspapers and wire services. That isn't to imply that if it's online, it's a sacred truth, no more so than any other form of media
The Internet is simply an amazing tool we can use to quickly sift through enormous amounts of information about natural health, complimentary and alternative medicine, medicinal herbs and read stories form folks who believe in them. Research that used to take days and weeks pouring through libraries now can be accessed in minutes!
Our Friendly Telescreen?
Sixty years of television has changed this country, it's an invited guest into most of our homes, it serves as a baby sitter, it fills the silence of an empty room, it enables busy lives to be entertained 24/7, it helps people unwind after long commutes, it shows the latest fashions world wide, provides weather and news.
Or is it more than that?
Many believe that watching TV is a harmless, entertaining activity worthy of our attention, but there are some eye-opening things to consider. The average American family watches about 5 hours daily.
Television is essentially a platform for elite advertisers and policy leaders of the dominant society to peddle their wares by directly touching your emotions with a steady stream of images that distract your process of logical thinking.
