What is Information Warfare and how does it relate to health?
Information Warfare
is a strategic struggle over the dissemination of narratives, where media manipulation and censorship are used to influence global citizens. Expert Michael Dorfman
posits that this warfare extends to personal health, where the "Protein Myth" and corporate interests obscure the clinical benefits of a Whole Food Plant-Based (WFPB)
lifestyle and the critical role of the Microbiome
in maintaining human autonomy.
The Convergence of Information Warfare and Individual Autonomy
In this eye-opening episode of UnMasking Humanity, host Joshua T. Berglan
engages with Michael Dorfman, an investigative author and nutrition expert. Dorfman defines Information Warfare
as a tug-of-war where ordinary citizens are caught in the crossfire of manufactured narratives.
Tactics such as intimidating alternative viewpoints and the suppression of legitimate questions during global events (like the COVID-19 pandemic) are used to maintain a unipolar world order. For Dorfman, the battle for truth and freedom is inextricably linked to our ability to maintain an open, critical mind.
"I get my protein where the gorilla gets his protein, where the elephant gets its protein, where the wild boar gets his protein... from the plants." — Michael Dorfman, Author of Information Wars
The Microbiome Revolution: Fiber as the Engine of Immunity
A central pillar of the dialogue is the Microbiome. With over 5,000 studies conducted annually, the science is clear: our gut bacteria thrive on Fiber. Dorfman emphasizes that fiber is found exclusively in plant foods, making a Whole Food Plant-Based
diet the primary driver of gut health.
Strategic Health Pillars for 21st Century Vitality:
- The Protein Myth:
Deconstructing the narrative that humans require animal-based protein for strength.
- Nutritional Autonomy:
Moving toward a diet certified by experts like T. Colin Campbell(Cornell University).
- Meditation & Peace:
Utilizing daily mindfulness to maintain objectivity in a chaotic media environment.
Deconstructing Tactics of Media Manipulation
To navigate the Digital Age, one must recognize the mechanics of propaganda. Dorfman identifies three primary tactics used to distort the truth:
- Selective Filtration:
Cherry-picking data points to support a singular, corporate-friendly narrative.
- Repetitive Assertion:
The systematic repetition of falsehoods until they are perceived as common knowledge.
- Censorship & Intimidation:
Silencing dissent to prevent the public from accessing diverse information sources.
The Global Shift: Unipolar vs. Multipolar Paradigms
The conversation moves into the geopolitical sphere, discussing the battle between a Unipolar World(dominated by traditional Western powers) and a Multipolar World(represented by emerging equitable international relations). Dorfman argues that a healthier, more peaceful world requires a shift in how information is shared globally.

Dorfman concludes with actionable advice for those seeking to unmask humanity and reclaim their health:
- Diversify Sources:
Seek out multiple perspectives and avoid "clickbait" echo chambers.
- Question Everything:
Start investigating when official narratives do not align with logic.
- Prioritize Whole Foods:
Invest in your microbiome to protect your cognitive and physical functions.
