10 Kooky Conspiracy Theories About Mainstream
Medicine
10.
Chemotherapy is a Conspiracy to Make People
Sicker
Hearing that you have cancer easily ranks
among the worst news any person can get.
Despite gobs of research dollars that have
been spent, we’re not much closer to actually
curing it.
Part of this is because there are many, many
different kinds of cancer that behave in different
ways.
You may find a solid cure for a few, but it
likely won’t work on many other types at
all.
Because it kills so many people and is so
hard to beat, it’s become the target of
conspiracy theorists.
Some of these people are touting alternative
medicine that they’re selling, so it’s
easy to see why they may not believe their
own story.
However, there are many lay people who have
been taken in by these conspiracies.
These people will tell you in ALL CAPS that
chemotherapy is poison.
It’s designed to take your money while making
you sicker, knowing it’s a nonsense “cure”
that will never go anywhere.
Some of these people will claim that no one
has ever been cured of cancer by chemotherapy,
ever.
Some will say it actually makes everyone who
uses it even worse than before.
While scientists who debunk these claims are
very clear that chemotherapy can indeed be
helpful, it’s only effective for certain
types of cancer and in certain situations.
As we mentioned earlier, there’s no one
magic bullet for all types of cancer.
There’s a chance there may never be.
Fighting cancer is something that has to be
taken piece by piece, one step at a time.
Chemotherapy is just one of many legitimate
treatments that has been found to have some
efficacy for certain situations.

Secret Governmental or Medical Powers That
Be are Hiding the Cure to AIDS
When AIDS first started proliferating, the
US government pretended nothing was happening
for years.
The Reagan administration wouldn’t talk
about the issue, and when they finally did
it was derisively.
Some people even referred to it as the “gay
plague.”
Because the government stood aside so callously
and allowed it to run wild initially, it spread
much quicker than it may have.
This distrust has spawned countless conspiracy
theories.
Some suggest that it was created by the government
either as a biological weapons test, to punish
particular minority groups, or both.
However, at this point most people accept
that the evil that was done is past and we
are now in a more enlightened place.
On the other hand, some conspiracy theorists
haven’t let things go.
They’re certain that there’s something
underhanded afoot.
It’s their belief that the US, or other
powers that be, are conspiring to hide the
cure for AIDS.
“They” want to depopulate the earth.
As far as these elites are concerned, AIDS
is a tool for ridding the world of a lot of
citizens.
So, they’d prefer it to stick around.
Some theorists also believe that AIDS is so
prevalent in parts of Africa because the US
chose it as a testing ground.
Many also believe that AIDS is a man-made
disease, designed to inflict genocide on gay
men and blacks.
Many conspiracy theorists operate on a principle
where their theories make them feel better
about a scary world.
It probably makes them feel better to think
that there really is a cure for such terrible
diseases.
They want to believe evil people are just
covering it up, instead of accepting that
there are many things humanity has trouble
controlling, that can wipe out large amounts
of us in a short time.

Western Doctors Were Helping Spread Ebola
in West Africa as a Test Run
Not long ago, the Ebola Virus swept through
West Africa, killing thousands.
People around the world worried about quarantines
and possible travel restrictions, as well
as what they may have to do should the very
worst happen.
Some infected people ended up in the United
States and the media frenzy went completely
wild.
Before long, theorists were suggesting that
Obama was bringing the virus to America in
order to unleash it on groups of people he
didn’t like.
However, most people have heard much tell
of the Western conspiracy theories about Ebola,
which usually involve the government trying
to sicken their own citizens.
In West Africa, where people were actually
dying from the disease on a regular basis,
no one really was sure what to believe.
There were foreign doctors swarming the area
trying to tell them how to change their habits
to avoid getting sick.
This sometimes conflicted with the deeply
held customs of people in more rural areas.
And despite the Western doctors’ outside
intervention, people still continued to die
in large numbers.
Before long, many were certain that the foreigners
were just there to infect them, make them
sicker, or even worse.
Some people believe that the United States
has had biological warfare labs in West Africa
for years, and that this was the result of
either something that became uncontained,
or a major experiment in warfare using the
people of Western Africa as unwitting test
subjects.
The second example is obviously much more
callous and evil, but both suggest that the
US government is a shadowy entity doing their
best to circumvent international law and come
up with terrifying new agents of biological
warfare.
7.
Doctors and Hospitals Make People Sicker on
Purpose for Repeat Business
Most people accept that the purpose of a doctor
is to heal people.
Those who go into the medical profession are
putting a ton of time and effort into schooling
because they’re passionate about what they
do.
Doctors are usually paid very well because
they have an insane amount of education, and
work hideously long hours.
Most people understand this, but some conspiracy
theorists are convinced that none of it adds
up at all.
They’ll tell you that doctors have chosen
a career and are cynically in it for the money.
As far as these theorists are concerned, curing
or fixing your issue is not something a doctor
would want to do.
Then you no longer need to see him, and he
doesn’t make any more money.
Therefore, they say, it would make more sense
for your doctors to keep you sick on purpose,
so they can keep getting money out of you
again and again.
The conspiracy theorists claim that the proof
is in drugs.
They claim that doctors aren’t interested
in curing or fixing any problems, only in
“treating” you with drugs and other such
things that allow them to keep selling you
products and making you come back for review
longterm.
This is, of course, an incredibly cynical
line of thinking, to believe that doctors
have no interest in truly helping you find
a cure.
The problem is that not everything can be
cured, and some conspiracy theorists do not
wish to accept this.
6.
Pharmaceutical Agencies and Government are
Pacifying You with Antidepressants
In some parts of the world, especially the
US, anti-depressant usage is incredibly common
and accepted by medical professionals.
Doctors prescribe them at rates that some
feel are incredibly ridiculous, often for
things that seemingly don’t make much sense
in terms of their usage.
Most people believe that the reason for this
is that doctors are often overworked, and
don’t have time to run all kinds of fancy
tests and figure out the exact problem going
on with their patient.
Especially if they don’t specialize in psychiatry,
as most don’t.
So, many doctors will supply people with antidepressants
because their patient really wants something.
They know it will make the person feel somewhat
better if they have a chronic problem.
However, some conspiracy theorists see this
issue completely differently.
They’re convinced that something very evil
is going on.
They believe that while antidepressants can
work for some people who truly need them,
for most they are only a bandaid on deeper
problems.
Doctors know this, and are doing it to keep
the population dumb and zombified.
As far as they’re concerned, the mass usage
of antidepressants was orchestrated by the
US government in order to control the masses,
and also provide a certain amount of population
control, as some antidepressants can cause
suicidal feelings in those who use them.
5.
Chemtrails are Making Us Sick to Give Doctors
Something to “Treat”
There are many popular theories about chemtrails.
They control the population through mind control.
They’re used to destroy the population by
killing us off slowly, without us realizing
it.
But this one is a bit over the top in comparison.
Some people believe that, while it may be
the big bad government creating the chemtrails,
and that they are indeed toxic, they’re
actually there for a much different purpose
than most theorists imagined.
These alleged chemtrails — which no conspiracy
theorist has been able to satisfactorily prove
as the dangerous spraying they claim — are
alleged to be used in order to make the population
just sick enough that they have to go to the
doctor a lot more.
This allows doctors to make a lot more money,
because people will be coming in for sinus
issues, or coughing, or other chronic things
caused by the chemtrails that will never truly
go away.
Doctors can keep treating people in perpetuity,
and make boatloads of steady cash doing so.
As far as the theorists are concerned, this
whole thing makes perfect sense, and isn’t
at all like something out of a bad sci-fi
movie.
Doctors tend to have more than enough patients
that they are actually overworked in pretty
much every country in the world.
No doctor would want or need to make their
patients sicker in order to have enough clients.
In fact, most doctors would probably love
the decreased workload and still make more
than enough money without any worry.
Those who distrust any major organization
will choose to remain distrustful and unconvinced.
4.
The ADA is a Fraud Designed to Harm People
For those who don’t know, the ADA is the
American Dental Association.
They’re the licensing board that makes sure
that dentists are properly trained to do their
jobs.
They ensure that patients deal with the least
pain possible and come out of the situation
with their teeth in better working order.
However, as far as some conspiracy theorists
are concerned, the ADA is nothing but a huge
pack of lies meant to harm the American people.
They’re quick to point out that the actual
dentists are likely just fine people.
They were only trained to believe what the
evil ADA wants them to believe.
They’re convinced, though, that because
of the ADA’s complicity in giving people
flouride and using it regularly, that the
organization is in league with the government
on a massive betrayal of the common people.
Aside from just flouride, they believe that
even suggesting a root canal is wrong in every
situation.
The ADA often recommends them, despite them
being so horribly dangerous.
Clearly, there’s something nefarious at
play there.
They’re also worked up that the ADA allows
fillings that have small amounts of metals
like mercury in them, worried that it will
somehow poison the person who has it in their
mouth.
Such policies, as far as the theorists are
concerned, cannot be tolerated and prove that
the official world of dentistry cannot be
trusted at all.

SARS was a Biological Attack Test Run Against
the Chinese by the USA
When the SARS epidemic started in China, it
was a similar but not quite as frenzied hype
as that of the Ebola Virus outbreak.
It was already starting to kill, and people
were worrying about it spreading quickly through
China and then the globe, but it had not come
close to causing the kind of damage Ebola
had yet.
However, being a deadly disease that had the
potential for extreme danger, it wasn’t
long before the conspiracy theories began
in earnest.
Some people in China were convinced that their
government was going to declare martial law
and start quarantining or shutting down entire
cities.
Others claimed the government planned to help
immunize people by spraying the cities using
low flying planes.
The most damaging and dangerous theory, though,
suggested that the entire thing was orchestrated
by the US government.
Those who pushed this theory believed that
it was biological warfare against the Chinese
people.
The virus was especially designed to take
out the Chinese.
Two Russian scientists put fuel on the fire
by claiming to the media that SARS must be
man-made, and had to have been designed in
a lab.
This led to the further conspiracy that the
US and Japan had a cure to the disease.
The entire thing was orchestrated to distract
the Chinese from the ongoing war in Iraq.
While many citizens may have believed these
theories, the Chinese government themselves
were swift to crack down on those spreading
the rumors.
2.
AIDS was Knowingly Transported Back to the
USA by Merck Pharmaceuticals
As we mentioned, there are a lot of crazy
theories out there about AIDS.
Some are convinced that it was used by evil
people for evil purposes.
Some think it was man-made.
Others think it was discovered, tested on
the public, and then got out of control.
The accepted explanation is that it was originally
a simian immunodeficiency virus, and that
it made it’s way to people, originally while
in Africa.
Some theorists believe in a completely different
“truth.”
They believe they have transcripts of the
truth (that were supposedly cut from the official
version), from an interview with scientists
who worked for Merck Pharmaceuticals, talking
about how AIDS really came to be.
Allegedly, these scientists were talking about
working to come up with polio vaccine by using
monkeys.
But the monkeys kept dying in transit.
These supposed transcripts show that Merck
knowingly brought monkeys that had the disease
back into the US for testing, helping it break
out and become the horror it is today.
However, the theorists actually go further
than this.
The transcript makes it sound like the researchers
were using monkeys with the virus as part
of their research for a polio vaccine.
They may have been irresponsible after the
fact for bringing them into the country, but
the theorist has a completely different take.
He believes that the researchers were actually
using the monkeys to create AIDS, and were
confessing at last to the truth of their horrendous
deed — while laughing about it.
In actuality, even if this transcript were
true, it doesn’t prove that these men created
AIDS, or that it was man-made at all.
It really only proves what we’ve known all
along: conspiracy theorists are freaking nuts.
1.
Bird and Swine Flu were Overhyped on Purpose
to Gauge the Public’s Reaction
Many people would agree that the media is
often irresponsible in their over-sensationalizing
of deadly disease.
Every new thing, whether it’s Ebola, SARS,
bird flu, or swine flu, is the latest virus
that’s going to totally kill us all.
It’s a great way to make attention grabbing
headlines.
Many of us are now skeptical of the latest
threat.
We generally just try to maintain good health
habits, knowing that it’s the best we can
do.
However, some people are convinced that when
something like bird flu or swine flu are being
hyped, it’s actually a government game of
psychological warfare they’re playing on
their own people.
The world governments, the Illuminati, and
the other powers that be are supposedly constantly
fabricating deadly epidemic scares out of
almost nothing for the purpose of increasing
their control.
Once people get scared of the disease, they
will then produce a vaccine.
People will be terrified into going and taking
it en masse.
This vaccine will then slowly give people
lots of other diseases over time.
This will ensure population control.
It will also make big money for the pharmaceutical
industry, who basically makes a killing selling
the vaccines.
According to the theorist who pushes these
theories, vaccines never work.
At all.
Ever.
They’re also extremely dangerous and designed
by the secret powers that be to hurt people
and maintain control.
While some anti-vaxxers are simply convinced
that there’s a small chance vaccinations
can cause autism and the government doesn’t
want you to know, this particular theorist
takes a much stronger stance.
As far as he is concerned, there’s no such
thing as a good vaccination, and there never
will be.
