The Hunt For The Truth

Understanding What It Really Takes

By Dr. Cody Dakota Wooten, DFM, DHM, DAS (hc)Published 3 months ago 1 min read

I Saw the Way the World Was...

Broken...

Dying...

Filled with Lies and Deceits.

There were Peddlers of Solutions and Assurances of Healing...

But All I Found were Humans...

Addicted...

Poor...

Becoming Sicker...

And Enslaved...

To Their Medications...

To Their Devices...

To Promises that Were Never Going to Be Fulfilled by the Hypocrites that Made Them.

I wanted No Part of these Dealings.

I Sought a Different Path...

I Began the Hunt for the Truth.

But I Knew Not What I was Beginning.

This Hunt for the Truth was So Much More Difficult than I had Imagined it Would Be.

Around Every Turn I Went Down...

I Would Find Different Oppositions that Acted in Ways I Would Never Expect...

Using Positions of Power to Peddle Lies...

Using an Overflow of Information to Hide and Delude the Truth...

Hiding the Reality in Nitty Gritty Details that People Believed No One would Ever Dig Into....

Purposefully Skewing Information to Look and Sound Better than Things Were...

Pushing for Regulations that Actively Made it More Difficult for the Truth to Spread...

But this is the Thing about the Truth...

If You are Dedicated...

If You are Willing to Put in the Time to Understand...

Deeply and Completely...

If You are Open to Looking for the Right Puzzle Pieces that are Hidden within the Landfills of Lies and Misinformation...

And If You Continue to Go Further than Others Have Been...

Then and Only Then will You Begin to Find the Truth.

The Journey is Longer and Harder than You can Imagine...

But it is a Journey Worth Taking.
