They Don’t Want You Reading This… | | Dear e-Alert Reader, You know e-Alert for exposing the stories Big Pharma doesn’t want you to hear. Now it’s time to go deeper. I’m Ray Thatcher—an investigative health researcher with the Health Sciences Institute’s e-Alert team. I’ve spent years tracing lobbyist fingerprints and following the money—especially when it comes to your health. OffScript is your new, special edition of e‑Alert—built to cut through media fog and hit your inbox when the news breaks, no filter or corporate spin. Each edition will tackle a critical issue the mainstream won’t touch—like today’s spotlight on MAHA, a mission rooted in values we’ve long championed: personal responsibility, strong families, healthy communities, and real accountability. This isn’t medical advice. It’s rarer: the truth—backed by facts, grounded in freedom, and delivered by someone who hasn’t sold out to the system. Let’s get started. MAHA Report: Conservatives Unite On May 22, the MAHA Commission—chaired by RFK Jr.—released a 78-page report exposing America’s childhood chronic illness crisis. It pins ultra-processed foods, toxins, overmedication, screen addiction, and chronic stress as the drivers of this epidemic. The numbers are staggering: Over 40% of U.S. children suffer from at least one chronic condition. Nearly 70% of kids’ daily calories now come from ultra-processed foods. Since the 1970s, childhood obesity, diabetes, autism, ADHD, allergies, cancer, and self-harm have surged by 270–500%. And here’s what hits hardest: behind those stats are real lives. Last year, the CDC reported over 1 in 5 teens considered suicide. Don’t Let the Left Divide Us Now, critics are coming after MAHA with everything they’ve got. They’re claiming the report is riddled with fake citations and AI‑generated filler. Sure—some citations were sloppy. But let’s not kid ourselves: the attacks aren’t about improving the science. They’re about discrediting the message. Here’s the key connection the mainstream is skipping: diets high in ultra‑processed food are scientifically linked to poor mental health in kids. And a landmark Harvard‑led U.S. cohort showed women in the highest fifth of UPF consumption had a 50% higher risk of developing depression. Because here's the truth: even with its imperfections, the MAHA report tells a story we already know in our bones. Our kids are sick because our systems are broken. The food is poisoned. The regulators are asleep. And the elites want us arguing about footnotes instead of fixing the problem. That’s their favorite trick—divide and distract. But that won’t work here. This isn’t just about calling out media bias—it’s about showing you why MAHA matters right now. Behind the headlines and political noise is a real opportunity to demand accountability, push back against corporate control, and protect the next generation. If we lose sight of that, they win. We know what’s at stake. And if MAHA helps bring the fight to Big Food and Big Pharma, then every freedom-loving American should be on board. What’s Next? The Commission is expected to release a follow-up report with specific policy recommendations in the next 80 days. That includes action on: Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) Chemical and toxin oversight SNAP reform Family health empowerment Pharmaceutical accountability You can bet I’ll be watching every step. Cut to the Chase This isn’t about RFK Jr. or Trump. It’s about reclaiming our kids’ health—and, ultimately, our nation’s health—from the grip of corporate greed. MAHA is the first real shot across the bow in decades—and it’s one we can’t afford to miss. Have a comment or question? The team and I would love to hear from you—click here to share your thoughts. Stay sharp. Stay unified. And as always, I’ll bring the truth—no chaser. Ray Thatcher Investigative Health Researcher, e-Alert Sources HHS. (2025, May 22).
