Check It for Yourself

Take nothing in this book on trust. Every claim in it is sourced, and the full list, chapter by chapter, is in the pages that follow. But there is something you should know before you go looking, because the most important sources here are the ones the modern tools work hardest to hide.

Run a plain search for most of what is in this book and you are steered, fast, toward a single institutional answer and away from the primary literature underneath it. The major search engines rank health results by authority and consensus, so the patented and orthodox position sits at the top, and the older, unpatentable, or heterodox finding sits on page nine or nowhere. This is not a conspiracy. It is a ranking function doing exactly what it was built to do, and the effect on you is the same as censorship: the citation exists, and you are simply never shown it.

The artificial-intelligence models are tuned harder still. Ask one about turpentine, or food-grade hydrogen peroxide, or the liver flush, and most will refuse, hedge, or correct you back to the mainstream line before you have finished the question. They were trained to. A model built to avoid liability treats every natural-medicine question as a hazard and hands you a warning in place of the mechanism. It sounds authoritative while it withholds.

So verify this the way the work itself was built, independently, and from the primary source. Use a search engine that does not filter this category. An alternative engine such as DuckDuckGo, at duckduckgo.com, does not down-rank natural-medicine and primary research the way the majors do, so the studies, the case reports, and the original texts actually surface. Search the compound, the author, the exact title of the paper. Then go to the source itself, the PubMed entry, the study, the original book, and read it with your own eyes.

That is the whole method of this book, asked now of you. Name the mechanism, cite the source, and trace each claim back to the evidence that already stands behind it. Nothing here is asked of you on faith. The sources that follow are where you start.
