Scientific Studies Defiled by Money WILL NOT Lead to Truth

Mark Virkler's picture

Harvard Medical School’s Dr. Marcia Angell was the Editor-in-Chief at the New England Journal of Medicine for 20 years.

After twenty years of editing and publishing scientific papers, she has become deeply skeptical, not only about peer-review, but about the entire process of journals and even about “experts.” She said:


It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.

Dr. Marc Girard, a member of the editorial board of the journal ‘Medicine Veritas,’ explained that science is broken because of MONEY:

The reason for this disaster is too clear: the power of money. In academic institutions, the current dynamics of research is more favorable to the ability of getting grants—collecting money and spending it—than to scientific imagination or creativity.

The problem isn’t new, either. Back in 2005, Dr. John Ionnidis — an early and important member of Team Reality who experienced censorship and cancellation firsthand — said “Most scientific studies are wrong, and they are wrong because scientists are interested in funding and careers rather than truth… Claimed research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias.” It’s a club. A well-paid club.

What is the role of the New England Journal of Medicine?

  1. Founded in 1812, it is the world's leading medical journal, playing a crucial role in advancing medical knowledge and clinical practice delivering high-quality, peer-reviewed research to the global medical community.
  2. Publishing cutting-edge research: It presents the best research at the intersection of biomedical science and clinical practice.
  3. Informing healthcare practice: The journal provides information in clinically useful formats to improve patient outcomes.
  4. Influencing medical policy: As one of the most cited and prestigious medical journals, it has significant impact on healthcare policies and practices.
  5. Educating medical professionals: It serves as a vital resource for physicians, medical residents, students, and researchers, advancing clinical best practices.

Do you have a biblically-based paradigm for discovering truth?

Most people have not thought through their paradigm or methodology for discovering truth. They have not considered if it is biblically based or not. Western-culture scientists say numerous double-blind studies are what give us the truth. Is that idea found in Scripture? Is that what Jesus said will lead us to the truth? Jesus made very clear statements about how we come to the truth, and double-blind studies were not one of His criteria!

Based on the testimony above, Dr. Marcia Angell who was the Editor-in-Chief at the New England Journal of Medicine for 20 years, and the one person responsible for ensuring that valid double-blind studies were propagated worldwide concerning health protocols, she has summarized in dismay that she no longer could trust this methodology. So what methodology are you going to use and trust? I have chosen "The Leader's Paradigm".

I am fully convinced that if one does not use God’s paradigm for coming to the truth, they will NOT arrive at the truth, and their life will be somewhat darkened and filled with unnecessary pain.

A couple of examples of the value of life speaking back (know by the fruit, as Jesus said)

If we let life speak back to us, we would question why America spends more on healthcare per person than any other nation in the world, and yet we are listed as 48th out of 200 nations in longevity.

So it appears that our independent double-blind studies have NOT answered these questions, but an inquisitive person, exploring what life is saying back could quite easily discover that forces were at work here, causing these abnormalities, and find solutions. I have. You can, too! Life is short. It can be lived better and longer if you use God’s paradigm to discover truth! 

Cool health insights that inspire me

Take the time to discover and embrace God’s system for coming to truth.

The life you save will begin with yours.
