As social media use and easy access to information continues to rise, shocking news continues to be presented to the public surrounding the truths about industries such as Big Pharma and the food industry. Many individuals are sharing their testimonies of negative side effects of certain medications and foods, and their process of finding freedom by healing naturally. But beyond that, many individuals are exposing corruption from within what should be trustworthy organizations.
In light of all this news, a growing distrust in the industries that we depend on so much continues to rise. Consequently, many have begun searching for alternative remedies. Now, a multitude are turning to and finding solace in the guidance of vocal holistic experts and naturopaths. Among these influential voices, is the banned Barbara O’Neill, who has quickly become a beacon of hope for those seeking natural healing.
A Banned Barbara O’neill – silenced for “dangerous” natural remedies
Barbara O’Neill is an Australian naturopath and educator who has made it her mission to empower individuals to take control of their health by harnessing the healing power of nature. Through her workshops, seminars, and online presence, she has inspired countless people to opt for natural remedies over pharmaceutical interventions. Her philosophy is built on the belief that the body possesses an innate ability to heal itself when given the right tools and resources. And honestly, why wouldn’t it?
In the era of viral content, the messages of the recently banned Barbara O’Neill have found a home on platforms like TikTok, where her videos have garnered massive views and engagement. Her empathetic and well-informed approach has turned her into an icon and a trustworthy voice for people worldwide. Her popularity reflects the increasing demand for authentic health advice that prioritizes holistic wellness over profit-driven solutions.
However, it has also attracted immense backlash from pharmaceutical, medical, and food industries. And in 2019, Australia’s HCCC indefinitely banned Barbara O’Neill from providing health services and education in any capacity. Evidently, they believe that her teachings promoted “dangerous and unsupported alternative medicine.”
As distrust in mainstream industries continues to grow, the banning of the beloved icon has naturally caused an uproar.
Challenges Faced & Distrust in Mainstream Industries
Barbara’s views, particularly on methods for healing cancer naturally, played a significant role in getting her banned. This incident emphasizes the growing divide between conventional medical practices and holistic approaches, as well as the fear of challenging established norms.
The rise of social media and instant information sharing has enabled testimonies of successful holistic healing to spread like wildfire. In addition, thousands of individuals are coming forward to expose the corruption within mainstream industries. This phenomenon has contributed to a broader public questioning of the credibility and trustworthiness of the pharmaceutical and food industries.

As distrust against these industries grows, more people continue to seek natural approaches and trusted voices like Barbara O’Neill.
Something’s Not Adding Up…
With the banning of Barbara, it begs the question, where is this same action in regards to harmful food chemicals that are ingested every day? Chemicals that are linked to ADHD, autoimmune disease, and numerous linked to cancer. Shocking.

Due to their hazardous nature, many of these harmful additives and American foods have been banned in numerous countries. However, they remain in countless foods consumed and products used by Americans every day. Why!?
After discovering the number of toxic items still on the shelves, one can’t help but feel betrayed by their own country.
The Expensive “Band-aids” Aren’t Cutting It
Australia banned Barbara O’Neill for promoting “unsupported alternative medicine.” This is despite the many testimonies of clients who have achieved healing through her advice with medical records of proof.
Ironically, though “supported,” many medical treatments including those for cancer such as chemotherapy are not always successful. And often, these treatments put the body under even more stress as they affect both cancer cells and healthy cells.
If individuals have experienced breakthroughs and complete healing from natural approaches, why not look into them? Why not study it? Why not promote it to those who might not want modern medical approaches? Or to those who can’t afford the astronomical costs that put many into debt, even when treatments prove unsuccessful?
A major issue with modern medicine is that they tend to address symptoms of issues rather than dealing with the root of the problem. This leads to medications and prescriptions that act as band-aids rather than a cure–expensive ones at that.
Unfortunately, as mentioned earlier, many of the root problems can be traced back to the foods in our grocery stores. From toxic dyes to harmful pesticides, these hazardous ingredients have continued to be allowed in our food–despite their link to common diseases and illnesses. Again, we ask, why!?
Problems with modern medicine
In recent years, the Tiktok community has begun to raise their voice in an effort to bring about change regarding these issues. They too, have asked the question, “why?” “Why are these toxic ingredients allowed in our products when they’re the very things that are making us sick?”
One explanation commonly comes up. And it’s the belief that the food industry and pharmaceutical giants collaborate to capitalize on the suffering of individuals: Toxic foods cause an illness or disease that needs curing, and the pharmaceutical industry supplies the drug that will “fix it,” often at a hefty price.
Healthy Individuals Don’t Bring in Money
In 2022, the pharma revenues worldwide totaled 1.48 trillion U.S. dollars in 2022. In the U.S. alone, the pharmaceutical industry generated $550 billion in revenue in 2021, accounting for 48% of the global pharmaceutical market. Take a second to let those numbers sink in.
As many social media users agree, the numbers tell you all you need to know. When individuals are forced to choose between dying and going into insurmountable debt to access treatment because it’s “the only answer,” it seems that we’ve moved from providing a service to taking advantage.
The truth is, alternative solutions must exist. But the problem (for the pharmaceutical industry of course) is that if you cure illnesses and diseases, all that money goes away.
Some might think it a stretch, but for many, the silencing of holistic practitioners such as the banned Barbara O’Neill, and the tolerance of toxic ingredients only reaffirm the belief.
We’re Due a new Food & Pharmaceutical Industry
Over the past few decades, the medical and technological industries have continued to make impressive strides. It makes one question why we’ve been able to make so much progress in many areas, but still have yet to find cures for prevalent diseases.
One can’t help but wonder a few things: Either the cures have already been found; or the medical industry is oblivious to the harmful effects of certain ingredients; or the cures have been sought out in the wrong places.
If we’ve yet to make progress, maybe we’re looking in the wrong areas. Or, perhaps, we’re listening to the wrong voices. Either way, maybe it’s time to finally address the issues that lie in our foods and medical approaches.
