The Silent Poisoning of a Generation and How We Take Our Health Back

By Dr. David Minkoff, M.D. DEC 2025

We are in the middle of a full-blown health crisis—and most people don’t even realize it.

They think it’s normal to be tired all the time. They think it’s normal for a child to have allergies, behavioral issues, gut problems, and need five medications before they’re a teenager. They think it’s normal to get cancer at 40, Alzheimer’s at 60, and die slowly in a nursing home.

Let me be clear: none of this is normal. It’s just common. And there’s a big difference.

As a physician, I’ve spent the last 25+ years helping people recover from so-called “incurable” illnesses—cancer, Lyme, mold toxicity, Long Haul COVID, autoimmune conditions, and more. What I’ve discovered is that most of these diseases don’t just happen randomly. They are the predictable result of a toxic world and a broken system.

And if we don’t wake up soon, we’re going to lose an entire generation to sickness that could have been prevented.

The Real Epidemic: What We're Eating, Breathing, and Injecting

You want to know what’s really making us sick?

It’s not genetics. It’s not bad luck. It’s the perfect storm of modern life:

• Ultra-processed food that isn’t even food

• Pesticides and herbicides like glyphosate are in nearly every bite

• Synthetic food dyes have been proven to disrupt behavior and brain development

• Seed oils that inflame every cell in your body

• Plastics, phthalates, and micro toxins in your water, air, and bloodstream

• Endocrine-disrupting chemicals in your skincare, shampoo, laundry detergent

• Excessive vaccinations loaded with aluminum, polysorbates, and immune triggers

• A pharmaceutical industry that has normalized polypharmacy in kids, teens, and adults

It’s an invisible war. And the battlefield is your biology.

I’m not anti-science. I’m not anti-progress. I’m pro-truth.

And the truth is: we’ve traded convenience for consequences. We've let corporations regulate what goes into our food, what gets injected into our bodies, and what chemicals we bring into our homes—without questioning the long-term damage.

The Children Are the Canary in the Coal Mine

If you want to know how sick our society has become, look at the kids.

Rates of childhood chronic illness have skyrocketed in the last 30 years:

• Autism: Up 2,000%

• Asthma: Up 160%

• Type 1 Diabetes: Up 300%

• Obesity and insulin resistance? Off the charts.

• Mental health? An epidemic in itself.

We have toddlers with eczema so severe that they bleed through their clothes. We have 8-year-olds with panic attacks and hormone imbalances. We have entire school lunch menus filled with synthetic garbage and sugar, followed by prescriptions for Ritalin, antidepressants, and steroids.

If that doesn’t break your heart, you’re not paying attention.

Our children are being raised on chemicals instead of nutrients, and then we medicate them for the side effects of the very system that made them sick.

This isn’t just bad health—it’s medical insanity.

What You’re Not Being Told

Big Food. Big Pharma. Big Government.

They’re all playing on the same team—and it’s not yours.

The USDA tells you Lucky Charms are healthier than eggs. The CDC keeps adding more shots to the childhood schedule without long-term safety studies. The FDA lets hormone-disrupting chemicals line the packaging of baby food. And the media tells you anyone who questions it is a conspiracy theorist.

Well, I’m not a theorist. I’m a doctor. I see the aftermath every single day in my clinic.

People who ate “healthy” according to the food pyramid, but now have autoimmune disease. Mothers who followed all the rules—but now have a child with lifelong neurological issues. Men in their 30s with testosterone levels of an 80-year-old because they bathe in plastics, breathe in Roundup, and eat corn syrup all day.

This isn’t by accident. This is systemic negligence disguised as public health.

Biohackers, This Is Your Call to Action

If you’re reading this, you’re probably already ahead of the curve.

You know that your body is your responsibility. You understand that health isn’t something you outsource—it’s something you build.

But now we have to go one step further.

Because this isn’t just about tracking your sleep or upgrading your mitochondria anymore. This is about changing the system—from the inside out.

We need a movement of smart, educated, relentless humans who:

• Say no to toxic food and demand better

• Detox their homes, pantries, and schools

• Learn how to read ingredient labels like their lives depend on it—because they do

• Ask hard questions about vaccines, chronic illness, and medical overreach

• Use ozone, IV therapy, lymphatic stimulation, PEMF, and real nutrition to stay well—not just recover

• Teach their kids what real food is

• Grow gardens, cook at home, build communities, and lead by example

Biohacking isn’t just about living longer. It’s about living better—and protecting our children from becoming lifelong customers of a sick-care system.

Why I Won’t Stop Teaching

When I first built LifeWorks Wellness Center, my goal was simple: help people who couldn’t get help anywhere else.

But over time, I realized the bigger mission wasn’t just to heal the sick—it was to teach the healthy how to stay that way.

That’s why I train doctors. That’s why I speak, write, and create protocols that others can follow. Because we don’t have time to waste. We’re already behind.

We need more physicians, more parents, more teachers, more leaders who see what’s happening and say: No more.

No more toxic food. No more silent suffering. No more pretending this is normal.

A Better Future Is Possible

Imagine a generation of children who eat clean food, breathe clean air, drink clean water, and grow up in homes without toxic chemicals. Imagine kids who know how to move their bodies, how to think critically, and how to care for their immune systems.

That’s not a fantasy—it’s possible. But only if we fight for it.

And it starts with you.

Your choices. Your awareness. Your willingness to question and to lead.

This isn’t about fear. It’s about freedom. The freedom to be healthy.The freedom to protect your family.The freedom to say: I don’t accept this system anymore.

We’ve been poisoned long enough.

It’s time to detox this world—from the inside out.

Let’s raise a generation that doesn’t have to recover from their childhood. Let’s build a new model of health that starts with truth—and ends in transformation.

Because real medicine starts in your kitchen, real prevention starts in your home. And real change starts with you.
