🌍 Who’s Keeping Us Sick?
And Why the Answer Might Surprise You…
When people ask, “Who is responsible for keeping society sick?” they often imagine a villain — a shadowy figure pulling the strings.
But the truth is far more subtle and far more powerful.
The answer isn’t one person.
It’s a system.
A web of industries, habits, and beliefs that work together — often without even realising — to keep us disconnected, depleted, and dependent.
🌐 Who or What is Making Society Sick in the 21st Century?
In today’s world, we’re living longer — but we’re not living better.
Chronic illness, fatigue, anxiety, burnout, inflammation, disconnection… they’ve become so normal that we forget they are signals. Warnings.
These aren't accidents. They're the result of how our modern systems are designed:
- A food system built for profit, not nourishment.
- A healthcare model built to treat, not prevent.
- A digital world built to capture your attention, not soothe your soul.
- A culture that praises productivity over presence.
It’s not that one person is keeping us unwell. It’s that the world we’ve built no longer supports well-being.
But we can unbuild it. Or rather, rewild it.
🏭 1. Industries That Profit from Illness
These systems weren’t created to heal us — they were created to make money.
- Pharmaceutical companies often treat symptoms instead of causes, keeping people on medication for life.
- Food corporations engineer addictive, ultra-processed food that leaves us craving more but healing less.
- Agri-business strips soil of life to grow cheap crops fast, but the food we eat is weaker than ever.
- Tech giants keep us scrolling, comparing, and consuming — often at the cost of movement, real connection, and joy.
🏛️ 2. Governments That Fund the Wrong Things
- Unhealthy food is subsidised. Real, living food is expensive.
- Herbalism, community healing, and preventative care are dismissed or underfunded.
- Policies are often shaped by powerful lobbies, not public well-being.
🧠 3. A Culture That Has Forgotten the Wild
We’ve been taught to fear aging, dismiss rest, and destroy what grows freely.
- Weeds like nettles are seen as pests.
- Growing your own food is labelled “hippy.”
- Rest is lazy. Aging is weakness. Nature is background noise.
But we forget:
🌿 Nature is the original doctor.
💔 4. A Lack of Empowerment
Many no longer believe they can heal themselves.
- How to make tea from nettles.
- How to rest without guilt.
- How to walk barefoot and feel your nervous system settle into the soil.
They’ve forgotten their power.
They’ve forgotten their place in the web of life.
🌿 So What’s the Remedy?
That’s where Nettle Revolution comes in.
Not as a product, but as a path back to the natural wisdom we were never meant to lose.
We are here to reconnect what the system has separated:
- Body to land
- Mind to stillness
- Aging to wisdom
- Nature to nourishment
- People to people
You don’t need to buy your way to health.
You need to remember what you already know deep down.
Let’s make tea.
Let’s get our hands in the soil.
Let’s take the sting out of the system — one nettle at a time.
Please get in touch or send me your question.
With green-hearted love,
