At a critical point in his long and distinguished medical career, Dr Willcourt became alarmed at the increasing resistance of the medical profession to new ideas, as the institutionalization of medical dogma proclaimed by paid experts took hold. As a result, medicine today barely escapes the definition of being a racket. For many readers, Chasing Antelopes: Why All This Caused All That is going to be disarming. While the author does not try to be controversial for the sake of an argument, he does want you to see how we are being manipulated by governments and industry giants to swallow the opium pill and sink into a state of blunted unquestioning consciousness about so many health and environmental issues. Ultimately, so much of what we have been told to believe about our health and many other facets of our lives is, in fact, malignant rubbish. For example, current medical practice says that if you don t sleep well, if you have a low sex drive, or if you are feeling a little off color, then you must be depressed and so you need to take anti-depressants, at the very least.What rubbish The writing of Chasing Antelopes was driven by the author s frustration at seeing the once vibrant curiosity and willingness to try out new ideas for disorders that didn t fit stock standard criteria become senile and fossilized and therefore ignored or worse, actively stamped out. Let s begin this journey now together to search for ways to change the things that we can control, and to develop effective strategies for protecting ourselves from the ones we cannot."
