Guy is an international advocate of food safety and natural medicine. He received his undergraduate degree in Logic and Theoretical Physics from the University of Sussex and his PhD in Psychology from Maharishi University of Management, Fairfield Iowa. He was formerly a senior manager at Genetic ID, a global food safety testing and certification laboratory.
Genetic sequences are globally mobile, they can integrate with host organisms and spread without any practical possibility of limiting their extent. The approval of self replicating mRNA vaccines, the replacement of common food ingredients and processing aids with genetically modified types and the thousands of insecure biolabs doing exotic gene research, including on deadly pathogens, without any realistic regulatory restraint, means that novel disease types and health conditions affecting whole populations are inevitable. This article examines what might happen and what to do to protect oneself from the looming dangers.
In the face of growing global health crises, there seems to be a dearth of wise leaders. Seventy years ago, Rachel Carson began researching the environmental harm being caused by synthetic pesticides, many of which emerged from research into chemical warfare during the world wars. Her work culminated in the publication of a book Silent Spring, now recognised as one of the most influential books of the 20th century, in which she accused the chemical industry of spreading disinformation and public officials of accepting the industry’s marketing claims without asking questions. Her work swayed public opinion and led to a ban on the agricultural use of DDT and the creation of the US Environmental Protection Agency.
Silent Spring initiated a culture of alarm about the adverse health effects of pesticides and environmental chemicals, but the lessons of history fade, especially among the youth who have grown up in a highly advertised processed food environment. Over the ensuing decades in the wider population outside of the organic movement, there has been a shift in direction towards a health culture which characterises the physiology as generally robust with a capacity to absorb the shocks of chemical pollution as long as it has the support of pharmaceuticals, stimulants and drugs.
Medical data increasingly points in another direction. Over decades there have been massive increases in the incidence of illness and chronic disease, including cancer (up 40 per cent since 2000), heart disease (up 25 per cent since 2000), neurological illness (for example Parkinson’s up 80 per cent since 2000), autoimmune conditions (up 300 per cent since 2000) and mental illness (up 75 per cent among young adults since 2000). Despite this, advances in medicine, surgery, sanitation, agriculture, economy, nutrition and housing somehow ensured that the average lifespan slowly crept up, reaching a plateau in the second decade of the 21st century.
Along with the plateau in lifespan, there is a parallel trend that should give cause for grave concern. A study published by the US CDC in 2025 is entitled “Trends in Multiple Chronic Conditions Among US Adults, By Life Stage, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 2013–2023”. It found that 76 per cent of US adults (190 million people) reported having one or more chronic health conditions in 2023. Most concerning, the CDC study found that prevalence of chronic disease among young adults (aged 18 to 34) accelerated significantly from 22 per cent to 27 per cent for one or more conditions between 2013 and 2020 and from 53 per cent to 60 per cent among those aged 35 to 64 years – indicating that the burden of chronic illness is shifting to younger age groups. An alarming trend that even extends to cancer incidence.
Today we are facing not a silent spring but a great flood.
The CDC defines chronic diseases as conditions that last one year or more and require ongoing medical attention or limit activities of daily living or both. Unlike some acute infectious illnesses, they are often incurable but can be managed, like diabetes, heart disease or arthritis. In addition to financial costs, increased death, and disability, studies show the burden of chronic conditions includes decreased quality of life, increased health care utilisation, lost productivity in the workforce, and loss of functioning in daily life.
As studies show, the Covid-19 pandemic brought about a sea change in health conditions caused by a combination of Covid-19 infections, treatments and vaccines. The pandemic years underlined the long term debilitating effects of chronic illness on health and immunity. Multiple studies show comorbidities were the strongest indicators of poor Covid-19 outcomes. The pandemic led to an immediate surge in excess deaths and a long tail of ill health. This highlights the increasing vulnerability of the general population and a decline in immunity and vitality.
Many commentators and studies have confirmed that the increasing consumption of ultra-processed foods and the use of synthetic ingredients is associated with the growth of chronic health conditions. In other words, the burden of food toxicity has been increasing for decades. Gradually a tipping point has been reached allowing the pandemic to push matters over the edge. How did this happen?
Genetic toxins have novel adverse effects
Understanding the effect of Covid-19 vaccines on general immunity is crucial. Covid-19 vaccines crossed a barrier – they penetrated the cell membrane. They were designed to rearrange and redirect immune functioning. For decades our digestive and immune systems have been endeavouring to protect us from the worst effects of the increasing levels of toxins present in our environment and food sources. Covid vaccines upset the delicate balance of the immune system. In tandem, weight loss drugs are threatening to do the same to the protective mechanisms inherent in our digestive system.
With the popular focus on DNA as the source of life, it is easy to forget that life begins not with a DNA molecule but with a whole cell. As developmental stages proceed, every cell in an organism contains identical DNA. Cells are networked together based on this genetic identity. As we have previously discussed, there are five fundamentals of progress evident in the physiology: Stability, Adaptability, Integration, Purification and Growth, The renewal (growth) and health of an organism depends on the network property of cells (integration), immunity (purification), digestion (adaptability) and homeostasis (stability). These five qualities of progress need to be balanced among themselves. The accumulation of toxins threatens to overthrow this balance. The immune system is designed to eliminate pathogens and neutralise toxins in order to restore balance. Therefore any interference with the internal structure and function of cells, as happens with mRNA and other types of DNA vaccines, affects immunity and renders our physiology more vulnerable to the effects of toxins.
To understand how crucial the network property of cells is, consider for a moment how each and every Lego brick has to be made to very fine exact tolerances in order to ensure the stability of creative building projects. It is not possible to intermix other play brick types with Lego, even if they look similar. They are incompatible, just as all transplanted organs containing DNA with very slight differences are rejected by the physiology unless the transplant patient takes immunosuppressant drugs for life.
Genetic identity is the key to understanding immunity. Genetic identity mirrors the unified field of the cosmos as revealed by physics and the grand unity of universal consciousness.
Biotechnology is fundamentally altering the cycles of cause and effect in our physiology. The way the immune system works has been changed: inevitably health outcomes will now be different. Not as before. The door to increased toxicity and immune exhaustion is being opened. The proliferation of novel man-made genetic sequences is threatening to facilitate the emergence of entirely novel diseases and disease trends which, as we saw with the effects of Covid-19 infection and Covid-19 vaccines, may be difficult to treat and resistant to modern medicine. As unsafe research into genetics accelerates, an unfavourable period for health can rapidly develop. There is little time left to prepare.
What can we do to protect our health going forward?
Experts in the ancient health science of Ayurveda (literally the science of long life) warn that our modern lifestyles and foods are leading to the build up of stronger toxicity and the increasing reactive nature of these novel toxins. Ayurveda describes a push back that can develop from natural law under such circumstances – a sudden catastrophic reaction like putting a red hot iron in cold water. Many of you will recall reading about key experiences of catastrophic adverse effects following Covid-19 vaccination including sudden onset of neurological and other conditions which defied conventional treatments. If biotechnology experimentation continues unchecked, we are going to see more of that on a wider scale and probably very soon.
Ayurvedic experts are recommending an immediate vigorous strengthening of health and lifestyle over the next six to 12 months for everyone. Otherwise 2027 could be characterised by much higher incidence of ill health. Urgent Ayurvedic recommendations include:
- Reduction in consumption of food toxins by eating a natural fresh diet rather than processed foods. Virtually all conventional foods test positive for pesticides, herbicides and artificial fertilisers. Conventional raised meats and dairy routinely contain residues of medicines, antibiotics, growth hormones, GM feeds, agricultural chemicals like glyphosate, etc. Organic meats and foods have very significantly lower levels of agricultural toxins and GM residues.
- Read food labels carefully and find out more about any ingredients you know little about, including their researched health effects. Be alert to synthetic substitutions. These are often spelled differently or have the misleading adjective ‘natural’ added to their name. It only takes a moment to ask Google about odd-sounding ingredients and processes.
- Undertake a comprehensive review of your fridge and pantry. What are you actually eating? What can you substitute or change to eat more fresh and healthy? Try for whole foods entailing less processing.
- Regularly drink warm/hot water during the day (not fluoridated tap water). Take a thermos flask to work
- Eat seasonally appropriate freshly prepared or cooked foods. Lighter diet in summer, more nourishing in winter. Be especially careful with your dietary routine at the change of seasons.
- Have one day a week with a lighter diet containing more liquid elements to give the digestive system a rest.
- Avoid known toxins like alcohol, smoking, vaping, artificial sweeteners, etc
- Eat more balanced meals. Ayurveda recommends the six tastes be a part of each meal: sweet (e.g., grains), sour (e.g., lemon, yogurt), salt, spicy (e.g., pepper, cumin, ginger, turmeric, etc), bitter (e.g., greens) and astringent (e.g., beans and dhals.). A recent article in the UK Times headlined “Why we should eat beans every day – and which are the healthiest”. Do some research and consider experimenting to broaden your palate.
- Toxins do not just come from food. Cities have become sources of intense pollution from car exhaust, electromagnetic radiation, off gassing from housing and construction materials, and intense collective stress. Even home gardens in cities test positive for high levels of toxins. Spend more time outdoors.
- Consider taking up yoga practice, meditation, breathing exercises, walking and other forms of regular exercise.
- Ayurveda recommends a positive approach to mental health. This means err on the side of being easy and not being hard on yourself. Steer clear of negative company and hyper-criticism. Be strong in yourself and stick to the truth. Take the time to enjoy and invest time in knowledge and skills. Re-evaluate habits, addictive behaviours and interests.
- If you are on multiple medications (known as polypharmacy) consider discussing with your doctor how some of these can be reduced safely (known as deprescribing). Around 20 per cent of 40–79-year-old Americans take five or more medications. Polypharmacy can lead to a build up of adverse side effects. In fact, medical misadventure including polypharmacy has become the third leading cause of death, after heart disease and cancer.
As you are probably fully aware, in addition to increased pollution of food sources and the environment, the world around us is changing rapidly. There has been a polarisation and hardening of attitudes at precisely the time the world needs more unity. There is no magic bullet. To meet these challenges we need to manage our personal lives to create more harmony with nature. Knowledge has organising power – forewarned is forearmed. This is not a time to give up. No one else is going to take care of our life and health for us. In fact, governments appear determined on a destructive path of biotechnology experimentation on their populations. We have to make changes to protect ourselves. Be awake to what is useful and stay away from that which is harmful.
