Sick By Design

An Eye-Opening Exposé on the Profitable Engineered Chaos of Modern Healthcare What if everything you thought you knew about health was backwards — by design? In Sick By Design, author and researcher Mark peels back the glossy surface of the North American healthcare and food industries to reveal a system built not to heal, but to manage — a multi-trillion-dollar matrix that profits from chronic illness, misinformation, and silence. Inspired by a single podcast interview with a doctor who dared to break ranks, this powerful and provocative book connects the dots between Big Pharma, the food industry, regulatory bodies, media spin, and the medical establishment. With a sharp, accessible style and a healthy dose of irreverence, Mark walks readers through: Why McDonald's milkshakes are welcome in hospitals — but vitamin C isn't. How the definition of polio was changed to fit the vaccine narrative. Why the North American food supply keeps you full but malnourished. The hidden playbook of pharmaceutical giants: from SSRIs to opioids. How hospitals and insurance companies quietly turned your body into a billing opportunity. The silencing of natural therapies and the demonization of cheap, effective treatments. The science-for-hire model behind most "peer-reviewed" medical studies. But this isn't just a takedown — it's a roadmap out. Through real-world life hacks, ancient wisdom, and simple practices that cost nothing but change everything, Sick By Design shows you how to step outside the medical matrix. From fasting and fermented foods to morning sunlight and magnesium, this book arms you with tools to reclaim your health, trust your instincts, and live with purpose — unpharma'd, unfooled, and unfearful. If you've ever felt that the system doesn't serve you — that it thrives when you're confused, compliant, and medicated — this is the book you didn't know you needed. It's time to ask better questions. And it's time to take your health back.
