They wield great influence and power with governmental agencies. Never underestimate the power of lobbyists to influence the direction of laws, policies, and politicians. Do you want the fox or a snake guarding your hen house?
- Marketing in our current wacky world is incredibly more powerful than most people realize. Marketing and public relation companies have perfected the art and science of ads, brainwashing, commercials, and media so that it looks like simple education, information, and marketing. Any message repeated often enough by multiple strategies can affect your hardware, operating system, and software just like a cell phone or computer and is called programming. Wake up and watch out we are being programmed.
- Mental health for individuals is vital to the overall health of communities. In our current wacky world, our mental health is being impacted and influenced.
- Public health officials are appointed and directed in how they interpret and perform their duties.

Be sure to ask questions from a variety of people. Learn how to use the Socratic Method to your advantage.
- Wars are often started with words without wisdom that are repeated over and over again even if they are false, manipulative, and misleading. When you wage war on anyone or anything there are always collateral damage and casualties. Just look at the results from the war on cancer and the war on drugs.
- Who is checking the fact-checkers? Many of the so-called fact-checkers are turning out to be organizations and people with hidden agendas. See hidden agendas above.

Words with Wisdom in a Wacky World
- There are a lot of talking heads on television trying to influence your beliefs, behaviors, buying, and thinking. Choose wisely who you let gain access to your mind. A picture is worth a thousand words. Learn to read and use charts, diagrams, maps, pictures, statistics, videos, and vision boards to find your healthy, higher, and hopeful path.

- Fake, fast, fried, and Frankenstein foods affect your common sense, logic, and thinking. Choose carefully what you put in and on your body.
- Hippocrates was the first father of medicine and we will do well to remember his words with wisdom. Doctors take a Hippocratic oath which states: “I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone.” His therapeutic approach was based on “the healing power of nature” “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” are words with wisdom from Hippocrates. He taught the doctor should first prevent disease, second cure it, and treat pain. Definitely more words with wisdom.
- Over-the-Counter drugs, prescription medicines, and synthetic injections all have side effects and consequences. Read all the disclaimers, ingredients, labels, and warnings carefully. Think about Hippocrates and his beliefs in the healing power of food and nature first. Think about Socrates and the Socratic Method for asking better questions.
- Read the ingredient labels on all beverages, food, and body care products first before ingesting or using them or you may poison yourself and your family.
- Safety first is a motto that can protect your family and save your life.

Sleep deprivation increases our risk for disease, impaired immune function, and making mistakes.
- Sugar is an addictive drug. Sugar is believed to contribute to, feed, and promote cancer, diabetes, and obesity. Alcohol is sugar so guess what?
- Thinking Time is vital to making better choices and decisions. Always think through your decisions.
