Revealed: The "Secret Language Codes" Used by Doctors and Drug Companies to Manipulate Patients
Friday, January 23, 2009 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 disempowerment 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 defensive 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 learned, 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 learned. But there's a defense 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 defenses 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
If the names of these Secret Language Codes seem unfamiliar, that's because I named them myself. To my knowledge, no one has ever investigated or documented this linguistic phenomenon before. I simply gave them the names that made the most sense.
Each linguistic pattern is explained in full in the Illusion of Disease course. Or keep reading to learn more about how I was able to find and document these language codes...
Breaking the Secret Language Codes of modern medicine
Neurolinguistic Programming is the technology of using language to affect lasting changes in the mind. It's a branch of neuroscience that was created by John Grinder and Richard Bandler, and today it's currently studied by practically everybody interested in sales, persuasion or marketing.
What most people don't realize is that NLP is the basis of the Secret Language Codes used by drug companies, health authorities and pill-pushing doctors who infect the minds of patients with their dangerous (and false) concepts of health and disease.
To decode these language patterns, I first had to be able to recognize them, so I purchased over fifty books on NLP, studying everything from modern-day NLP gurus to the language patterns of hypnotist Milton Erickson. Then I scanned them all, page by page, into my electronic book library.
From there, in order to reverse engineer the language of modern medicine, I spent a hundred hours or so writing software code to compare the linguistic structures of NLP to the language used by doctors and conventional medical writers. What I found will absolutely blow your mind...
Doctors are using the manipulative language patterns of "influence masters" to brainwash patients!
It astonished me, too. I never expected to find such a strong correlation between the language used by medical doctors and the linguistic hypnosis patterns exploited by hypnotists and influence masters to control people.
Essentially, what I discovered is that doctors are "hypnotizing" and "brainwashing" patients into believing in a disease mentality!
And it's not just doctors, either. I ran the same linguistic analysis on articles written by mainstream journalists and found that the same hypnosis is being carried out by writers and journalists in every major magazine, newspaper and conventional health website in the world! USA Today, Washington Post, Newsweek, TIME, CNN, Fox News... they ALL use these manipulative language patterns that attempt to trap the public in a mindset of sickness and disease. These language patterns are everywhere!
In essence, the entire medical community -- including doctors, medical journals, health journalists and government health regulators -- are all taking part in a grand brainwashing scheme based on the Secret Language Codes of modern medicine. You can't even talk to a doctor for thirty seconds without hearing one or more of these language codes being used, I discovered.
And, by the way, most doctors are using these language codes unconsciously! They're not necessarily trying to brainwash you themselves. They may not even know these codes exist. Rather, they've adopted them because those are the language patterns used to brainwash them in medical school. Now, it's just the way they talk... they can't help but use them!
Not surprisingly, this brainwashing scheme is highly profitable. It makes people believe in fictitious disease, the empty promises of expensive chemical pills and the ridiculous promise of "preventive surgery" and flu shots, for example. Virtually everyone is caught up in this brainwashing, including many people in the natural health community, I've noticed.
But the important question is this: Is there a way to de-hypnotize people and give them back control over their own minds on health-related issues?
The answer, I found, was YES.
