We're Not Sick-We're Being Sold

How Food Lies, Flawed Science, and Corporate Medicine Hijacked Our Health-and What You Can Do About It

For decades, we've trusted the experts. We counted calories, cut fat, feared cholesterol, and swallowed the pills. And yet-we're heavier, sicker, and more medicated than ever.

Why? Because the system isn't designed to make us healthy. It's designed to keep us customers.

In We're Not Sick-We're Being Sold, David Lawton Etheridge pulls back the curtain on the trillion-dollar sickness economy. Through investigative analysis and extensive research, he exposes how Big Food, Big Pharma, and outdated medical dogma have quietly shaped what we eat, what our doctors tell us, and why chronic disease keeps rising no matter how many guidelines we follow.

Part 1: Nutritional Dogma - The myths that demonized real food while selling us sugar, seed oils, and ultra-processed ""health"" products.

Part 2: Medical Dogma - How cholesterol, statins, and hormone therapy became billion-dollar industries built on shaky science.

Interlude: The Business Model Behind the Myths - Why bad advice persists even when evidence proves it wrong.

Part 3: The Way Forward - Practical steps to break free: building a health team that works for you, tracking biomarkers that matter, eating real food without fear, and reclaiming authority over your own body.

This isn't conspiracy. It's economics, history, and lived experience. And once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Your doctor may not tell you this. The institutions may never admit it. But you don't need their permission to take back your health.

It's time to stop being the patient in someone else's business plan.
