Dr. Egas Moniz of Portugal was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1949 for his development of frontal lobotomy. The renown given by this award popularized and accelerated this torturous procedure. It was largely rejected within a few short years of being so highly prized. Just another gorey award.
The popular press and academia together propped up lobotomy as both the New York Times and the New England Journal of Medicine praised the monstrous procedure.
The horrendous use of frontal lobotomy is actually representative of the historical hallmark of Nobel Prizes. These awards have been used to prop up the profitability of establishment science-by-consensus rather than true benefit to mankind of accurately scientific science.
Gore’s woven seams not as they appear
Enter Al Gore as co-awardee of a Nobel Prize regarding his science-by-consensus global warming promotions.
Just two days prior to his allegedly noble prize a British court ruling was published regarding public school showings of the ‘An Incovenient Truth’ schlockumentary featuring Gore and his popular brand of global warming schlocksense.
A legal finding was made that the film’s data is in “the context of alarmism and exaggeration” in the published ruling of British High Court Judge Michael Burton.
Burton further ruled that “the science is used, in the hands of a talented politician and communicator, to make a political statement and to support a political program.”
Judge Burton cited numerous inaccuracies in the film.
Nobel judges were undeterred by such inaccuracies as has been a hallmark (of shame) of these awards for at least 100 years.
Dancing around truth
About 10 years prior to the ignoble Nobel lifting up of frontal lobotomy this award was given to Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgy of Hungary for his alleged discovery of the substance identified as “Vitamin C”.
Dr. Szent-Gyorgy near the conclusion of his acceptance speech noted that the substance for which he was awarded did not actually work. He noted the importance of whole food nutrition and its superiority to chemically isolated, synthesized “nutrition”.
The establishment body of medical, pharmaceutical and chemical colleagues did not receive the words of Szent-Gyorgy at that time. Nor has this truth been generally accepted up to the present time.
The lack of acceptance of this truth resulted in Szent-Gyorgy becoming largely silent on the matter throughout his lifetime. Perhaps extensive funding by way of Rockefeller institutions deterred the proclamation of truth if not its pursuit by Szent-Gyorgy. He did revisit the matter from time to time though not pressing it when acceptance did not follow.
Many decades later near the end of his life he finally more fully addressed the matter in his book, ‘The Living State’.
“My own scientific career was descent from higher to lower dimension, led by a desire to understand life. I went from animals to cells, from cells to bacteria, from bacteria to molecules, from molecules to electrons. The story had its irony, for molecules and electrons have not life at all. On my way life ran out between my fingers,” Szent-Gyorgi lamented in ‘The Living State’.
This admitted failure of a Nobel laureate is another testimony to the value – or rather lack thereof – of the Nobel Prize legacy. It is a sad and perhaps indicting addendum that Szent-Gyorgi only presented this information after his use and value to the establishment was expended.
This finally, fully truthful work of a long time previous Nobel laureate was and is ignored.
Waltzing blindly along
Nobel Prizes in both 1926 and 1927 were for “discoveries” later found to be false.
An earlier Nobel Prize was awarded for x-rays that accelerated propogation of this procedure that resulted in the death of its discoverer and countless millions in the years since. 75 per cent of breast cancer is directly attributable to use of x-rays according to Dr. John Gofman who has more experience with radiation than anyone living.
The New York Times last year noted the award regarding lobotomy as “perhaps the most egregious mistake ever made by a prestigious biomedical awards committee.”
The dubious dishonor for the most egregious mistake ever by the Nobel Prize committee actually goes back very near to the founding of the award. That is appropriate as the egregious nature of this award is practically the foundational principle of these awards.
Eduard Buchner was awarded exactly a century ago in 1907 for discoveries on fermentation. Yet the hypothesis offered by Buchner for the fermentation discoveries he was credited with was actually incorrect. More importantly, the actual truth found in his work originally came almost 50 years earlier from Dr. Antoine Béchamp.
Béchamp was yet living in 1907 more than 90 years of age. It was another in a long line of dishonors to this greatest scientific genius of his or any other era since.
Application of the multitude discoveries of Béchamp in this day would greatly benefit mankind. However, the discoveries of this truly great beneficent giant did not and still do not benefit the profitability of establishment science-by-consensus.
Sidestep as dance step
The Nobel Prize committee has never rescinded its award for lobotomies. It is the hallmark of these awards, as well as the hallmark of modern science to not admit errors no matter how egregious, but rather to double talk and sidestep such issues.
Nobel Prizes are awarded in this same month every year. Ironically the 16th of this month is the anniversary of the birth of Dr. Antoine Béchamp. It has been almost 100 years that his body lies breathlessly waiting in the grave for recognition of the truths in his most grave body of work. It would be the most wonderful irony for the Nobel Prize committee to make this correction at this time.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for that.
