in the first place, we are not generally aware of Metabolic Typing and Profiling science with its tried and tested implications. in the second place, we are part of a society geared to mass production oriented toward quantitative results. in this environment, there is a prevailing medical atmosphere of dependence on symptom-reiief medicine, instead of on cause-relief, person-specific naturopathic qualitative intervention. Our society's mindset has been turned away from encouraging the acceptance of our metabolic differences in order to expedite more person-specific approaches for nutrition-mediated wellness. instead, "quick fixes," "magical drugs," and "ignorance-generated profitability" dominate the marketplace.
Our current generic societal mindset is based on special interest wellness politics, and to some extent on the "so-called" sociocultural lag in research where "cutting edge" information is politically delayed or manipulated before being released to the public. These political manipulations and information delays keep us focused away from the realities of wellness to keep profits up for certain groups. The books, Good Intentions, by Bruce Nussbaum and Innocent Casualties by Elaine Feuer can help you to better understand this situation.
Our society offers what is currently most profitable to the status quo of those political powers governing wellness. This situation is not just observable in the halls of modern medicine—where drug dependence abounds—but within your average health food store as well. As you walk into a typical health food store, you are bombarded by shelves and shelves of one supplement after another, along with many a salesperson eager to sell you "one of each" with no relevant scientific basis for product discrimination. Your invitation for being sold a given supplement is something like "it's the hottest right now," "it works for me," or "most customers really like this one," etc. This kind of philosophic persuasion reinforces one-size-fits-all notions . . . and worse. You'll routinely end up spending more money on items that you actually don't need.
in this scenario, there 's really no true person-specific measure of the success these wellness products may have in actually helping you. And, of course, the health food store makes more money on your gullibility and confusion as a consumer. That's all part of the plan to get your money! A former vice president of one of the largest u.S. health food store chains once told me "there 's greater profitability in ignorant customers." isn't that the truth? So don't automatically expect "natural-conscious" industries to tell you much about human individuality either—it's not in their best interest for moneymaking (you won't buy as much).
On the contrary, those "natural wellness" industries "train" you with one-size-fits-all information strategically designed to make you interested in more products so that their profits will soar. As you can see, even the anti-traditional, anti-drug, "rebel" nutritional industries should be seen as guilty for their fostering of one-size-fits-all mentalities; yet, in an apparent paradox, they are helping to move us away from modern medicine's unnatural philosophies by promoting natural products and alternatives. The good news for "capitalists" is that Metabolic Typing and Profiling will ultimately improve business for health food stores. The good news for "health fanatics" is that Metabolic Typing and Profiling will help health food stores to assist you better than ever before.
