Most people never have actually read the actual medical studies - they only read snippets reported by the media,so they have no idea how to distinguish facts from lies. Virtually all media reports of medical science omit key pieces of information that are needed to understand the study results - like how much meat a person was fed in the stud. A person that eats one serving of red meat once a week will have completely different results from a person that eats red meat at every meal.
Same thing with water. Is water good for you or bad for you? It depends. If you drink too much it causes all sorts of problems and can even be fatal. Are the medical people lying when they say most people need to drink more water? After all, isn't water fatal if you drink too much?

The only true method of understanding the healing process is by actual application. If the primary ingredients are made available for its proper function, the body will maintain itself - that's what it was designed to do.
Medications appear nowhere in the list or "primary ingredients".
Medications are designed to mimic the healing functions but only as long as they remain effective. Once they wear off, the problem usually returns. This is because they don't address the cause - they simply hide the symptom. The pharmaceutical companies have become rich through this methodology.
When you limit the consumption of the most basic resources the body needs (such as water and salt), it causes a lot of stress on the body and it eventually starts to break down.
Every function is regulated by these two most important substances but in advising their patients to drink "fluids" the medical profession ignores the fact that the body was designed to function on water, not "fluids". And they demonize salt almost to the point of outright fraud.
Yes, it's true that we get too much salt in processed foods but the problem (as in high blood pressure) isn't "too much salt". The body was designed to use what it needs and discards the rest.
Thus, when salt starts collecting in the body it's because the body needs it. And (as even the medical profession supports) salt retains water. And so it is that the reason for the extra salt is because there's not enough water in the body and the purpose of the salt is to hold onto water from food.
This retained water is filtered and injected back into dehydrated cells - totally opposing the "high blood pressure theory". Prescribing diuretics to force the water out is probably the most idiotic thing they can do.

Lol. Studies often contradict each other. That doesn't mean science is suddenly all wrong. Modern medicine is the best system of healing in history and basically the main reason the average person lives passed the age of 40.
When you look at numerous studies at once (IE meta data) you start to see the truth. One study among thousands whose data is different means nothing. There was one guy whose study said a human soul weighs 6 pounds but that doesn't mean it's true. You've got to look at the bigger picture.

They don't know much about food. Not too long ago they said eggs are bad for you, now they are healthy. They flip flop all the time.

It appears there's been a sizable backlash to the sudden claim that red meat is good for people. There's a lot of money and politics involved in the ranching and beef industry. A lobbyist in Congress can make news if somehow he can get the media to praise the value of eating lots of meat.
