I remember in one of my favorite books NATURAL CAUSES the author said that one day she just woke up and realized she was old enough to die and that she was not going to spend what was left of her life endlessly searching for that thing that might kill her - through scans, xrays, blood tests etcetera etcetera etcetera. I adopted that same attitude and have been so much happier and healthier ever since. Way before coronamania.
Amen to that ! Why prolong life with a few months (if even that) spending them in doctor's offices? I rather die a natural way than surrounded by nervously running people in white coats, and beeping machines. Like the cats find a peaceful corner, go to sleep and not wake up. The medical profession has replaced the pastors. Most people regard their doctor like a godsend. What a delusion. Just like most pastors, most doctors are mouthwork only. No faith, no trust.
"Only extends...death processes." Even among our beloved pets. A seasoned veterinarian once gave me the same; compassionate counsel. "You're only prolonging his death; not extending his life." It's hard to let go; but often the most humane; loving decision. Please don't flame me; I'm not conflating people with pets. Just the principle. Extended life is not always a blessing.
Addendum: To all who have lost loved ones, and beloved pets--May I say that saying goodbye is heartbreaking; not "hard" as I wrote. The long; hard part is coming to terms with our regrets, and past failures. Sorrow brings these painful memories out in full force. I know that I'm off topic; we're discussing medical procedures/drugs that "extend"--Or basically try to keep death away for a time. We wish; we pray that we could have "One more day" with our beloved. "One More Day" (By Diamond Rio.) https://youtu.be/_i5i880n870 Medical interventions have drugged us--no pun intended--To the hard work of recognizing when a loved one's time has come. A time to let go, and a time to mourn. We need to learn how to grieve; a terribly important part that follows our last goodbye. An emotion that's been pushed far out of our conscience. It doesn't go away; it will manifest in many forms. Our failure to face death/acknowledge it/And do the very difficult WORK of grieving has made society weaker; not stronger.
So very well said; thank you! And not really much off topic...what you are describing relates, I think, to why so many folks have been brainwashed. They seem to think we’re not supposed to ever die.
My pet (best little buddy ever - my doggy) was well spoiled and had a great life; and yet I grieved a bit thinking I could have been even nicer when she was still here. I felt like I had more love to give her. Not very rational thinking, but maybe that is part of the process? Now I mostly remember the happy memories and good times (even with occasional tears, still good). :-)
I really agree. People can go through years, sometimes decades being bedridden, unable to feed or toilet themselves, with various levels of cognitive impairment. It's fine if it's what they want, but sometimes they are kept alive against their wishes because others can't let them go.
Was listening to a Jason Isbell song (If We Were Vampires) which has the line "Maybe we'll get 40 years together - but one day I'll be gone." when I suddenly realized I don't HAVE 40 years left.
This was my reply to a heated argument I was having back in March /April 2020 when already instinctively resisting the “people are dying we must lockdown every one “ narrative - not to sound callous but that’s what one sees every evening when tuning into the local television “news”- only its now 24/7 multiple channels and online immersion 123, eZ as abc… I knew about Marshall McLuhan and Neil postman, and so when mark Changizi said “The moral of coronavirus19 will be that social contagion via social networks is more dangerous than biological contagion.” On
3:21 PM · Mar 17, 2020, it was an echoed refrain I’d heard a million times in my own head - ever since I asked a guy I worked with in Hawaii back in the pre internet days to explain to me where it was all going. He described a world in which we all know all too well, unfortunately, with the faithful naïveté of a true believer. I was shocked at his enthusiasm for online social distancing (isolation) all the way back then . And immediately recognized that only the technology could succeed where previous snake oil hypnosis had previously failed the common sense smell test. I still posit that the scamdemic couldn’t have indoctrinated that many people, old and young, elites and worker bees, experts and actual scientists without the tools of dual edged dichotomies. Talk about yin and Yang. Who could have envisioned a world with simultaneous censorship over a therapeutic and drag queen grooming hour at every library in the heartland? It’s beyond wizard of Oz dystopia. I would ask people how did we run out of toilet paper but not cold and cough medicine, or if they’d seen anyone collapsing in the street like the videos coming from Wuhan … then after the vaxx, with athletes all over the globe dropping like flies on the field, and again… crickets . Worse, I even had the damned germ before it was officially recognized as being on U.S. soil , and I’m not going to lie, it was three days of misery - and strangeness. As if my body felt both a familiarity (flu-like) but unknown as well (definitely not the flu). Then when it got on the news and all over Fauci land, no one wanted to believe me that I survived, didn’t go to the hospital, and sure as hell didn’t need no experimental gene therapy done up at warp speed to prevent another round. There hasn’t been any. Quite unlike the devout I’ve known who got the bug AFTER the jab wore off (or perhaps BECAUSE of it to begin with). Now I’m losing track of people around me who are suddenly experiencing a whole new type of terminology: death without warning. Or sped up cancer. Or god knows what. Again, we are all going to die. But lately I’m
Noticing people who weren’t supposed to - for at least awhile- keeling over without explanation. Of course it’s anecdotal, but coincidence? My gut is telling me no. Hell no. The man made “cure” was always more terrifying to me than any man made bat soup. Especially after they tried to make EVERYONE have a taste from the Petri dish bowl. God forbid we ever claw our way out. But god help us if we don’t die trying - at least for those who still have a lot of lives to live - and contributions to give.
Well said. I know someone who obviously got this (manmade in a bio lab) virus in January 2020; like you, before we had been made aware of it. He is obese, and he was extremely ill for around six weeks. And yes, he recovered at home - probably because it was before they were MIStreating people at hospitals.
Amen, Mistreatment is the perfect description 👌 bullseye 🎯
I have an older cousin who has all sorts of preexisting conditions, asbestosis among them. When she came down with the pcr positive after entering “world class” Johns Hopkins hospital for dehydration the initial prognosis was “she’s unvaccinated, we may have to vent her, it’s probably 50/50 chance …” in other words, if anyone was a candidate for the statistical analysis, she was a sure fire bet. Meaning the reality was the house lost - again. She was out of icu (unventilated) in 2 days after a dose of Monoclonals antibodies. Only they had to end up keeping her because of skin burns thanks to an allergic reaction to latex and bruises all over her arms from the prodding and poking . Poor thing. She sent me pictures from her room with the promise not to show my parents-because it would surely upset them to see her in such a suffering condition. I don’t even think she got so much as an apology from the staff for all the pain and trauma they put her through. If anything- it reinforced her decision to never have to visit that “place of healing” ever again.
I know several people like that. The only ones I know that died, all were already in the hospital and caught it there, and were left to die, or were taken there and passed away because hospital is not where you want to be when you can avoid it. Only 2 came back home after hospital stay. All the rest stayed home and healed.
It is high time we de-centralize. If this had been 200 years ago, before everyone went everywhere, this illness would not have existed (people at the time did not try to make others sick with fortified viruses and microbes) and even if an illness had emerged, they would have stayed at home, may be a few would have died, but it would not have spread, and there would not have been a global panic attack thanks to a few people who want the world to themselves ! Great comment Daylin. I am going to save it !
I feel the exact same way. I refuse to get health screenings or yearly checkups because just thinking about getting on that medical treadmill sickens me.
I stopped going for the hated annual female checkup about 35 years ago. I decided I would not spend my years going to this appointment or for that intrusive test. I hate being around anyone who only talk about their doctors appointments and ailments. Makes me want to scream! I have been amazed how many people can spout off the names of all the prescription drugs without batting an eye. Impressive! I don’t remember the last time I went to any doctor. I’m safer and healthier that way. I am now 65.
This year I will have to go on Medicare, and you too I guess. I hope to be able to sidestep their annual nonsense. I never went on a yearly checkup and kind of wonder why so many people do that. It gives you a false idea of security (I know of at least 2 women who did a yearly pap test and developed cancer within weeks after it, although the test was negative). It is very important to listen to your own body. So many people seem to have lost touch with it, and with nature. Stay fit Linda !
Totally agree! I know I can do a lot better with my eating habits (and addictions)…I am not a “health nut” by any stretch of the imagination. I finally convinced my mother (87) to stop the continual doctor appointments. I figured if I went for a check-up, they are bound to find something wrong , write a prescription , and then never get off the ever expanding drug merry-go-round.
Wow I am so impressed! You learned young! I only quit the doc treadmill 7 years ago. I had been held hostage by the medical mafia for 20 plus years as I was on birth control pills. Could only get them a year at a time after an 'exam.' After I got old enough to not need them anymore, I decided I was through with that not fun adventure and I have never looked back. They always also pushed mammograms and colonoscopies and full body 'wellness' scans. Nothing but a criminal enterprise.
Outstanding article. At the risk of being overly simplistic, since the inception I have viewed Covid and the Med/Pharma establishment as simply a new stage in the surveillance state roll-out that began allegedly in response to 9/11. Vaccines and digital tracking are the tools being used to link the individual to the state.
Yes, Health Care was weaponized with everything else. I saw this for 35 of my 38 years as a community pharmacist and still, it even surprised me. At least I was lucky enough to retire before I was totally consumed by the "collective." I've had numerous practitioners tell me here recently, "Your concerns were valid."
"Valid!" Oh, but even now these people don't want to "push back" because they might "get into trouble."
I just tell them, "But you're not in trouble now? You are participating in genocide, forced sterility, murder, torture, fraud, mayhem, immorality, but, you're not in trouble now?"
It surprises me that all those medically schooled people can sleep at night. I have been tossing and turning because I could not convince a few friends and family of what was going on, and they actively participated in the slaughter. How can their souls find rest?
I also think all the editors and journalists are complicit. They could have saved millions of lives by exposing these crimes and frauds much earlier. Instead they defended the people, organizations and policies (mandates) that were killing and harming millions of people ... and still are.
The loss of independent physicians is heartbreaking and a great loss. Now all physicians are employed and must march to the tune of the company. Hospitals are not paid for quality. In fact, in a shocking reality that is difficult to understand - hospitals and health systems actually make more money when there are more complications and the care is poor.
Most healthcare CEO's say 50% excess off the top could be eliminated. And that's just a start.
And in a striking hard to believe reality - its the administrative costs that are skyrocketing because of government hyper-regulation. So 40% of the payout is going to administrators who essentially do nothing except creat a reason for their existence.
My husband is a physician assistant in an ER. The changes he's seen (and I get to hear about) in just the last ten years alone is depressing. The ER management group he works for has changed three times as the hospital seeks to improve profits by micro-managing healthcare. It's no longer about helping people (if it ever was), it's about making money for the board and administration. Business people who don't even understand how to take care of sick people are now in charge. Having adequate staffing, efficient processes and enough available beds is a thing of the past. In today's ER, their vision includes providers triaging out in the lobby so they can bill for services rendered before the patient walks out when they refuse to wait any longer, or allowing the number of ICU nurses available for seriously ill patients to drop along with the experience level (last week my husband was brought in to a room by a panicking young nurse who thought her patient was coding when a monitor had simply come loose). It now takes numerous hours to get scans and blood work complete which puts lives in danger. Some of the problem is due to staffing shortages but many of the staffing shortages are self-inflicted, due to resources being diverted to more profitable causes. One of their current protocols involve running extensive tests/scans/evaluations on patients involved in traumas no matter what the provider's physical exam shows, since anything labeled "trauma" in billing gets tens of thousands in reimbursement. It truly has become a reality show based in follow the money, at least in the ER. Now, in my fifties, at an age where I am more likely to see my parents, family and friends needing acute medical care, the foundation of the medical establishment is cracking and I'm not sure how long we have before it becomes complete unreliable. I'm thankful that I have my husband's expertise to rely on as plan A, but plan B is pretty shit-covered, and I worry about the others, who don't have support, that will get thrown into the system and spit out, with varying outcomes. We can't rely on medical institutions and pharma like we have in the past. We definitely need to make ourselves a higher priority when it comes to our health. The notion that the healthcare industry will "save us" if something goes awry is less reliable than ever. Don't wait to take care of yourself, make positive choices now-eat healthier, eat less, move more, find stress relief that works for you (meditation, stretching, deep breathing, etc) and regularly do something that you truly enjoy. Unfortunately, if you don't, it's going to be hit or miss as to what type of care you get going forward.
I think my mistrust of the medical industry was formed when I was 16. My mother was very ill and wasting away as she couldn't keep food down. Doctor after doctor ridiculed her and told her it was all in her head, and one of them told her he could find nothing at all wrong with her so he would call her illness "Dorothy's disease." When she was about 89 pounds (her normal weight would have been about 120), she fortunately got a new doctor who asked her "Have you ever been tested for celiac disease?". No doctor had said that before. She was found to have celiac disease, which is a genetic autoimmune disease leading to malabsorption of nutrients caused by eating gluten. Long story short, she stopped eating gluten (she was age 46), and she lived in perfect health until 95. She never exercised other than normal daily activity, she ate like she ate as a kid from a farm family...meats, potatoes, vegetables, whole fat dairy, no packaged garbage like cookies etc. Having to avoid gluten so strictly, she ate basic healthy foods. She was never again sick or in the hospital. She never took any kind of meds for anything.
As an adult I have also had encounters with clueless and unconcerned doctors, and I have always remained cautious and skeptical with any and all encounters with the medical establishment in general. This attitude has served me well, and at almost 73 I'm in great health, slim weight, athletic, take no meds, and am rarely sick with anything.
When I was growing up in the 50s and 60s, there just weren't the unhealthy, bloated overweight people you see today. I'm not sure what happened or when (seems like the 1980s), but in terms of overall health things have changed and people are stuffed with medications. Now I am seeing considerably overweight 6 year olds and teens. This was a true rarity in my early years. Something definitely changed.
Surely all the hormones in animals, the plastic packages and all the chemical garbage we eat are not helping. Very hard to live really healthy if you do not have your own farm!
My wife is a 24-year RN. For the very first time in all those years, SHE DESPISES HER JOB. Her manager rides her @ss because she spends too much time with her patients - they want her to chart, chart, chart and then chart some more (read: profit center.) She is supposed to be working three 12-hour shifts per week, but in fact never gets out before 13-14 hours a day and has NO lunch and NO breaks at all.
Her manager was 6 yrs old when my wife got her RN license. She's a complete idiot and neither cares nor knows anything about what a nurse does or is supposed to do. She does, however, watch the clock - 2 tardies and she'll write you up for an unauthorized absence. Imagine that in a field that is hemorrhaging nursing professionals.
She took a $10k sign-on bonus for a 2-year contract, but I swear she'll never finish this thing. We're ready to throw them the badge and move on, regardless of the financial hit. It really really sucks so bad.
And that's the other sad part of it all. Healthcare workers may not have always loved their jobs but they still wanted to help others, took pride in what they did and would do the extra to help out when needed, but they just can't anymore. Management has literally sucked the life out of them, so now what you DO get is mostly the shell of what they used to be. Nurses have often given their all with every patient they get-it's their nature, their calling, but now they're not allowed to do the job that they set out to do (giving their ALL to help someone else) AND they're forced to give half-assed efforts under extenuating circumstances, every single day. They're not only tortured by the extra hours, lack of resources and no respect/appreciation, they don't get the personal satisfaction of taking care of their patients in a way that renews their desire to keep doing it. How do they expect them to keep going like this! And when they suffer, so do the patients. They don't care about the people anymore, it's all about the money-everything else is just collateral damage. Even the providers are being stretched beyond capacity. I never thought I'd see the day where doctors were forced to work more hours, with less staffing and resources. Doctors used to call all the shots and would never stress themselves out with high patient loads but now management calls the shots. Docs too, now often give minimum effort and often, minimum patient care. Heck, they don't even care about helping each other cover shifts anymore when there are family emergencies. It's every man for themselves. It's so sad hearing about the burnout in healthcare. Many people would argue that the money that healthcare workers make should cover these added burdens but you can't get blood from a stone. Many, especially nurses, just have nothing left give and it's definitely WRONG!
That’s nothing - our sister’s hospital was giving our gift cards for shopping post Convid release worth hundreds of dollars. Then Xmas bonuses on top of those thanksgiving gift cards. An amazing hospital that fired its jab-free workers
as a nurse your wife might find a less paying but much more rewarding place, sitting with sick and or elderly people. I know a nurse who did that well into her seventies, and was very happy doing so
My late husband was a minister for a while. He told me he quit because when meeting with other ministers the only talk was about how much money each church had and how much income, and nothing godly. Same with medical establishments. Hard to find one that cares.
The biggest problem is that we have been conditioned away from taking any self-responsibility. Primarily due to the significant move towards excessive consumerism - from our desire for convenience & instant gratification.
Its obvious with the obesity problem but everyone thinks they can fall back on shitty fad diets, surgery, tummy-tucks, lipo, pre-workout supplements & other pills that claim to be a "quick fix". None of it ever works, much of it has costly & negative (even dangerous) side effects - or INTENDED CONSEQUENCES, as I like to call them. Yet the industry is fucking MASSIVE & continues to grow. Why? Because people are lazy, & get even lazier as technologies are developed to create "short cuts" for everything in our lives. Easy solutions to completely avoidable, self'-inflicted problems. Thus, you can stuff your feelings in your face for 6 months because you'll just go on a fad diet, overdose on unregulated weightloss supplements, and whatever other "lose weight quick" scheme. But you won't make a real lifestyle change... you'll end up failing the diet & the other crap will get too expense & you won't be consistent with it anyway, so you eventually stop taking it. Any weight you lost is instantly gained back. Shocker.
The beauty industry is same thing too and goes hand-in-hand with the above issues.
Its no wonder we have a shitty allopathic medical system built off the same principles. If you research the history of how we got here, it all makes sense - the INSANE level of fraud, indoctrination & corruption begins to quickly unravel. We have steered so far in the opposite direction of nature, balance, & true health, that its unrecognizable, the answers we seek are so much simpler than the approach of the last 100-150 years.
Most of it began with the germ theory of disease (still never been proven using the scientific method & logic, reasoning, common sense...) and then the Rockefeller sponsored Flexner report in 1910, resulting in homeopathy, traditional medicine, naturopathy, and even chiropractors being labeled as quacks, and "less than", deemed as nonsense, unscientific and none of these areas of practice would be "accredited" or receive funding & grants. Instead they were all replaced with the oil tycoon's Allopathic model of medicine - because why not mix the petroleum business with medicine 🙄 - and then a NEW type of education system was rolled out. Only allopathic doctors who pushed their germ theory of disease were accredited & funded. Rinse & repeat for 100+ years.
If you asked questions back then - just like if you ask questions now - you are labeled a "cOnSpIrAcY tHeoRiSt", censored, ridiculed, threatened, your livelihood removed... These tactics aren't new sadly. Theyve perfected it. Its absolute insanity.
I wish more people could see how obvious it is.
Western medicine has never been able to cure a single DIS-ease. Why the hell do we continue buying into their broken system?
Just like the cattle that are led thru the maze of cattle pens to their eventual demise- Americans are led like pawns thru the medical minefield of fear and deception. We can live our unhealthy lifestyles- consuming too much sugar, too much alcohol, too many pills, getting little exercise, etc.- cause we can get a prescription that fools our brain into thinking we can outwit what is naturally gonna happen anyway(premature aging and death). How much is 20% of GDP? Trillions every year. I agree that medicine is a religion- very few ever back down from what their shepherd says, excuse me, doctor says. Mark, another good essay on reality in America. Two very detrimental items in American history which continue to take America down: when the Fed took over our monetary system and when the medical establishment began the fear based rhetoric of Big Brother Pharma knows best. Keep em coming Mark!
It happens to everything the Fed touches...add to the list public education, student loans...and finally, our military (thanks, Ike, for the warning - but we didn't listen).
I'm not surprised, human nature being what it is. But we seem to have lost our capacity to hold it in check.
And all the "captured" organizations support the other captured industries. There's no cog in the machine that can expose any of the other cogs .... because they are all in on it .... or they have all drank the same kool aid.
It’s a pertinent point and evidence shows that better nutrition, better personal hygiene, better sanitation, clean water, less crowed accommodation, has made a greater contribution to improved health than the trillions spent on medical care. Just a simple thing like hand washing particularly after using the lavatory has vastly reduced spread of disease and improved health.
A critical question should be asked of all new treatments/drugs/tests: how many people have to be treated/drugged/tested to save one life? FDA statistical life value is $7.9 million, so if cost is higher than that, don’t do it because that has an opportunity cost… could the money be better spent elsewhere with greater benefit or more lives saved?
Taking cancer research. This has been on-going for decades with billions and billions spent, a plethora of drugs. Yet real improvements are only marginal. A cure is always ‘just round the corner’ and ‘great strides have been made’, but people are still dying of the same cancers in increasing numbers.
We are in a society which has been encouraged to believe that every hiccough is a disease which should be checked out, every ailment must be treated, every malady has a cure - even death can be eliminated.
The two biggest risks for disease are genetics and age. There is nothing anyone can do about either. George Burns quipped he was looking forward to reaching 100 because very few people die over a hundred.
Average age of a CoVid death in the UK was 82 - life expectancy is 81. We are spending billions on saving people who are on borrowed time and sacrificing the health and lives of young people with decades of life left. Insane; evil.
Why do people go and get their cholesterol, checked, blood pressure checked, checked for diabetes, screened for this cancer and that cancer - they are never away from the doctor/hospital?
That’s not looking after your health, it’s somewhere between a hobby and an obsession. Take up golf!
These folk end up on multiple medications. Blue pill for blood pressure, green pill for diabetes, yellow pill for cholesterol, white pill for the stomach ulcer one of the other pills - but nobody is sure which - is causing, the striped pill to remind you to take the other pills and purple pills for the depression caused by taking all the pills and regular screening to check the pills aren’t giving you cancer.
The body is really good at letting you know when something is really wrong.
One other very serious aspect. The scope of public health has now expanded to include private health. Our waistline, diet, our vaccination status, our blood pressure, whether we have diabetes, seat belts/baby seats in cars, smoking, alcohol - personal responsibility taken away, all now socialised, a matter of public concern. Result: blossoming bureaucracies full of prodnoses.
The excuse is burden/cost on healthcare services, protecting others (granny but never grandpa), saving others inconvenience. If you don’t wear a seat belt - it’s not fair on the emergency first responders and hospital staff who have to deal with trauma… because apparently that’s not their job.
exactly what has happened. I think this has been going on for at least 60 or more years. I think my generation is the first to mass medicine. I remember as a kid how gramma had elderberry syrup for coughs, but mom preferred the prescription (pfizer antibiotics) that made me sicker. Seems this was one of the worst meds ever to come to the market. After that, I noticed my sisters in law running to the doc for everything, while I was already using natural products. Once bitten. At 14 a pneumonia did not react to antibiotics because I had had so many. So the specialist called in, gave me some meds that were dirt cheap, and helped and I have hardly been sick since. Now 65, I wish I had kept the receipe from the meds, because 3 years later they were taken off the market. The pharmacist said they were so good no one who took them got sick anymore. No cash for pharma !
there are cures for cancer. they have been frozen by bigharma. Cost too little, not patentable, natural methods, etc. People are being kept hostage by these bigharma bosses. If ill, turn to nature first. Most common illnesses can be easily cured by natural means. For cancer, try the Budwig protocol or Moerman diets. Considered quacks but work. Both had a slew of patients healed, not in remission but living for another 20 or more healthy years !
Yep it’s true. Good friend was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer a couple years ago. Immediately sought out cancer renegade from Yale who guided him back to life and health thru zero carb diet regimen.
He’s alive and kickin’ today - many months after the std cancer establishment said he’d be dead and buried.
Uh huh. Kinda like all those crazies thinking that ivermectin is effective with nothing to go on except the huge numbers of its success. - but that’s just conspiracy talk
No you don't know about them do you. Still, the Budwig method is in use since the 1930s. It is used in Germany. It is used in Mexico. In the US it cannot be used on its own, you have to take radiation and chemo on top (that is where the money is). In the 1960s a doctor sold his method to bigharma, to find that they did not use it, because it was based on very cheap methods. And he had signed a silence contract of course. The Moerman method is around for at least 50 years. They are not mentioned anywhere and considered quacks. But Moerman healed a lot of people. There are pages online. Check them out. Just like this whole covid myth there is a chemo and radiation myth. If you rather be poisoned, your choice.
I often use an example I picked up in a John Stossel special. He showed how government and industry were spending $XX million to remove dirt, perhaps contaminated by lead. He interviewed an expert who said, yes, this lead could cause cancer a couple decades later ... if one person ate a bucket of this sand every day for a couple of years. Why not spend this $20 million on building 2,000 more miles of guardrails to protect cars from rolling off of dangerous shoulders of highways? We KNOW that would save many lives and prevent many serious injuries over time.
Add into this mess a “pandemic” and global “vaccine” mandate and the discrimination of all who hold views deemed unacceptable and we’ve entered the “Twilight Zone “. I saw in the last day or two that 2 children were being denied life-saving transplants because of their vaccination status (major university hospitals). 1 child WILL die without the intervention— the other will be on perpetual dialysis…. How is this possible?? We don’t need the Great Reset, we need a Great Awakening….(borrowed from JP)
having lived and worked in SE Asia for almost 20 years, there were moments that the refrigerator would turn on (thermostat) and consequently the PC would die. or turning on the computer while someone was ironing....oops.... no electricity for at least a while! sometimes our street, the neigthbourhood or parts of the city wouldn't have any power, and it was sobering indeed. many times I've found myself secretely wishing for a general power outage in our (over)developed world of at least a few hours, it puts things into a whole different and much healthier perspective.
and how you want to do all things electric when the power is out ! Make coffee. Shower (people with a well have no water), do some ironing, put the laundry in.... yikes!
true, but we're resilient and creative. or do we opt for a comfort zombies model? life has existed waaay longer than electrical appliances, so there's that. how did they do it? ;-))
I still see my mom doing laundry by hand. When I got married, the first thing I wanted was a laundry machine. Shortly after mom got one too. Never seen her wash anything by hand again!
Thanks mary-lou. Maybe thats why they have been ?perhaps? geoengineering those giant hail balls this year, some bigger than softballs, much damage, cars smashed. Hmm..re your history..you might really enjoy Amy Sukwans Substack, both her point of view and location...if you havent already.....trying to type faster now, in case it happens!....Crazy to think all this fuss pushing electricity around has only been a 'thing' under 150 years....and only 25? or so since wireless. Or even going back to Ben Franklin and that key on a kite string, 1752...
Fun, no, but would speed up spell breaking with lots of collateral damage. And of course not my call, nor do I have backup electricity. I would trade alot to break the spell of the MSM, spare some additional lives from this poison. Here in OR we have been unseasonably cool all spring, the most in the 30 years I have witnessed here, and multiple hail storms even in June. I am highly heat tolerant, so we should trade locations....best
Def What. If you go to his Substack it will make him money, so maybe don't. But I see his articles in other publications, he is a shiller diller Doc pushing jabs still, while trying to seem trustworthy.
Many here called it out, as his comments had to be shut off in the first days...he is the opposite of what I think Substack or thought Substack would promote with a 'featured writer' position. So, they propped him here over many Doctors who were trying to save, instead of poison, lives. I guess it was a bone to throw to the TNI or such. Not a trustworthy doctor, E T..
To underscore what Mark is saying, about 70% of the drugs in the prescriptions that patients consume is rejected into the urine. This is because they are artificial chemicals (sometimes real poisons like chemotherapy!!) that the body is doing its best to purge you of. In the case of the highly artificial birth control "pill", the estrogen in the pill is a highly artificial form that is 100 TIMES more potent than the estrogen produced by our bodies (mostly by women's bodies). Therefore, the body rejects that chemical (ethinyl estradiol - EE2) at 90%!! That is correct, the overwhelming majority of the "estrogen" consumed by women to prevent pregnancy is rejected into the urine and enters the biosphere. Our sewerage treatment processes were originally designed in the 19th century and they haven't changed very much. If you are lucky and the sewerage that that urine enters is treated by a Sewerage treatment plant (some of it is just dumped in rivers), we are lucky if 50% of the EE2 is captured by the bacteria in those processes. That is, almost half of the EE2 from the Pill (and others sources such as the estrogen fed to dairy cows, in the US), enters the biosphere where it is concentrated up the food chain and WE consume it. Some of the "biosolids" (dead bacteria) from the sewerage treatment process capture some of the EE2 (and other human derived chemicals, many!!) and they are added to farmers fields as low cost fertilizer. So you are eating those pharmaceuticals through at least 2 pathways. Believe me when I tell you that the ~50% decline in male fertility over the last 60 years is in large part due to the avalanche of these "Endocrine disrupting chemicals" (EDCs).
Of course, this is not an accident. Nor is the slavery to the medial industrial complex. The only answer is to become aware of your food (more good fats!! such as avocado, wild fish, and nut oils like coconut, almond, etc.) and reduce carbs and especially sugar! Finally, we eat way too much protein!! IT may "lose us some weight" but good fats are the way to go with more water!
One hip replacement and two revisions later, I can say confidently that I should have left my congenital hip deformity alone. Maybe less pain but all the working out and training has not changed the weakness on my left side. I am done with conventional medicine. Thank you, Mark for reinforcing my decision to pursue alternative medicine.
The Medical/Industrial complex, like Eisenhower's Military/Industrial complex, might be said to be a subset of the Political/Financial complex, although you probably couldn't put the thickness of a sheet of paper between any of them. The search for the next dollar drives everything, the market must grow.
I'm just gonna stop "liking" all these posts - they're all excellent, but at a certain point it's just redundant. So if you posted a response, here's your notice: I liked it - I liked it quite a bit. You people are truly excellent.
My profile pic is of my 7th great grandfather, Arthur Middleton, who was a Founding Father and signer to the Declaration. I've been thinking of him lately - what would he think of our current predicament, etc., etc.
He was taken captive when the British sacked his plantation, and he died very young from the hardship of imprisonment in Florida.
I've not a doubt that he would be disgusted at what I've allowed to happen.
Cool family history! Speaking of family. I did a genealogy search one day and came across a patriarchal relative of mine way back in the 1600's in Canada. She had 12 children and lived into her 90's. How did she do it without modern medicine? How did humans become such a populous species without modern drugs and treatments. It's a mystery I rtell you.
At this point I am welcoming hard economic times, as it might be the only way to get folks to focus on the con job that is our federal government in the US.
Spot on again, Mark. I haven't been to see a doctor in 9 years (they were not helpful at all, anyway) and aim for it to be many, many more. Not there is actually much availability for healthcare in Ontario now anyway. But let's face the real problem as I see it - our friends, our neighbours, our coworkers, who we have found out to our dismay are much weaker and thoughtless conformists than we ever imagined.
Great message. Remember the saying an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure? Our medical pharmaceutical interventions are the pound of cure, while the clean water, sanitation and single ingredient whole foods are the ounce of prevention.
Nowhere today do we have a standard of care in any discipline that promotes prevention. The ADA and AHA were both founded and funded by the Seventh Day Adventist Church and two of their most successful members, Post and Kellogg, as in C. W. Post and W. K. Kellogg of the well known cereal companies. By installing undisclosed agents with an activist bias against traditional human food sources in favor of powdered wheat, we were set up perfectly for Dr. Ancel Keyes, diet heart hypotheses which states cholesterol cause heart disease (not true). Replacing thousands of years of evolution and decades of medical experience with religious dogma and pseudo science has set us on the path that resulted in us being where we are today. Fascinating deep dive from Belinda Fetke, wife of Dr. Gary Fetke who is my source and has cited all of her sources for what I am repeating.
I remember in one of my favorite books NATURAL CAUSES the author said that one day she just woke up and realized she was old enough to die and that she was not going to spend what was left of her life endlessly searching for that thing that might kill her - through scans, xrays, blood tests etcetera etcetera etcetera. I adopted that same attitude and have been so much happier and healthier ever since. Way before coronamania.
Amen to that ! Why prolong life with a few months (if even that) spending them in doctor's offices? I rather die a natural way than surrounded by nervously running people in white coats, and beeping machines. Like the cats find a peaceful corner, go to sleep and not wake up. The medical profession has replaced the pastors. Most people regard their doctor like a godsend. What a delusion. Just like most pastors, most doctors are mouthwork only. No faith, no trust.
That’s why I want to go out like my grandfather - peacefully, in my sleep. Not screaming in terror like his passengers.
Sorry, couldn’t resist. Lol
Yes, I spent my career in healthcare. Long ago recognized that most healthcare interventions extends people's death processes.
"Only extends...death processes." Even among our beloved pets. A seasoned veterinarian once gave me the same; compassionate counsel. "You're only prolonging his death; not extending his life." It's hard to let go; but often the most humane; loving decision. Please don't flame me; I'm not conflating people with pets. Just the principle. Extended life is not always a blessing.
Addendum: To all who have lost loved ones, and beloved pets--May I say that saying goodbye is heartbreaking; not "hard" as I wrote. The long; hard part is coming to terms with our regrets, and past failures. Sorrow brings these painful memories out in full force. I know that I'm off topic; we're discussing medical procedures/drugs that "extend"--Or basically try to keep death away for a time. We wish; we pray that we could have "One more day" with our beloved. "One More Day" (By Diamond Rio.) https://youtu.be/_i5i880n870 Medical interventions have drugged us--no pun intended--To the hard work of recognizing when a loved one's time has come. A time to let go, and a time to mourn. We need to learn how to grieve; a terribly important part that follows our last goodbye. An emotion that's been pushed far out of our conscience. It doesn't go away; it will manifest in many forms. Our failure to face death/acknowledge it/And do the very difficult WORK of grieving has made society weaker; not stronger.
So very well said; thank you! And not really much off topic...what you are describing relates, I think, to why so many folks have been brainwashed. They seem to think we’re not supposed to ever die.
re: regrets
My pet (best little buddy ever - my doggy) was well spoiled and had a great life; and yet I grieved a bit thinking I could have been even nicer when she was still here. I felt like I had more love to give her. Not very rational thinking, but maybe that is part of the process? Now I mostly remember the happy memories and good times (even with occasional tears, still good). :-)
Beautiful. ❤️
I really agree. People can go through years, sometimes decades being bedridden, unable to feed or toilet themselves, with various levels of cognitive impairment. It's fine if it's what they want, but sometimes they are kept alive against their wishes because others can't let them go.
Ditto
Was listening to a Jason Isbell song (If We Were Vampires) which has the line "Maybe we'll get 40 years together - but one day I'll be gone." when I suddenly realized I don't HAVE 40 years left.
Sobering. Focusing. But not saddening.
I’m ok with it. I figure that at 51 I have about twenty five good years left. I can pack in a lot of fun stuff before then.
I’ll die someday and who knows what’s after that? Something cool I think.
Yes. All the fear porn has preyed upon peoples’ fear of death. Once you let go of that fear, it all becomes clear. We’re all going to die, after all.
If just everyone realized that, this disaster would not have happened.
I completely agree.
This was my reply to a heated argument I was having back in March /April 2020 when already instinctively resisting the “people are dying we must lockdown every one “ narrative - not to sound callous but that’s what one sees every evening when tuning into the local television “news”- only its now 24/7 multiple channels and online immersion 123, eZ as abc… I knew about Marshall McLuhan and Neil postman, and so when mark Changizi said “The moral of coronavirus19 will be that social contagion via social networks is more dangerous than biological contagion.” On
3:21 PM · Mar 17, 2020, it was an echoed refrain I’d heard a million times in my own head - ever since I asked a guy I worked with in Hawaii back in the pre internet days to explain to me where it was all going. He described a world in which we all know all too well, unfortunately, with the faithful naïveté of a true believer. I was shocked at his enthusiasm for online social distancing (isolation) all the way back then . And immediately recognized that only the technology could succeed where previous snake oil hypnosis had previously failed the common sense smell test. I still posit that the scamdemic couldn’t have indoctrinated that many people, old and young, elites and worker bees, experts and actual scientists without the tools of dual edged dichotomies. Talk about yin and Yang. Who could have envisioned a world with simultaneous censorship over a therapeutic and drag queen grooming hour at every library in the heartland? It’s beyond wizard of Oz dystopia. I would ask people how did we run out of toilet paper but not cold and cough medicine, or if they’d seen anyone collapsing in the street like the videos coming from Wuhan … then after the vaxx, with athletes all over the globe dropping like flies on the field, and again… crickets . Worse, I even had the damned germ before it was officially recognized as being on U.S. soil , and I’m not going to lie, it was three days of misery - and strangeness. As if my body felt both a familiarity (flu-like) but unknown as well (definitely not the flu). Then when it got on the news and all over Fauci land, no one wanted to believe me that I survived, didn’t go to the hospital, and sure as hell didn’t need no experimental gene therapy done up at warp speed to prevent another round. There hasn’t been any. Quite unlike the devout I’ve known who got the bug AFTER the jab wore off (or perhaps BECAUSE of it to begin with). Now I’m losing track of people around me who are suddenly experiencing a whole new type of terminology: death without warning. Or sped up cancer. Or god knows what. Again, we are all going to die. But lately I’m
Noticing people who weren’t supposed to - for at least awhile- keeling over without explanation. Of course it’s anecdotal, but coincidence? My gut is telling me no. Hell no. The man made “cure” was always more terrifying to me than any man made bat soup. Especially after they tried to make EVERYONE have a taste from the Petri dish bowl. God forbid we ever claw our way out. But god help us if we don’t die trying - at least for those who still have a lot of lives to live - and contributions to give.
Well said. I know someone who obviously got this (manmade in a bio lab) virus in January 2020; like you, before we had been made aware of it. He is obese, and he was extremely ill for around six weeks. And yes, he recovered at home - probably because it was before they were MIStreating people at hospitals.
Amen, Mistreatment is the perfect description 👌 bullseye 🎯
I have an older cousin who has all sorts of preexisting conditions, asbestosis among them. When she came down with the pcr positive after entering “world class” Johns Hopkins hospital for dehydration the initial prognosis was “she’s unvaccinated, we may have to vent her, it’s probably 50/50 chance …” in other words, if anyone was a candidate for the statistical analysis, she was a sure fire bet. Meaning the reality was the house lost - again. She was out of icu (unventilated) in 2 days after a dose of Monoclonals antibodies. Only they had to end up keeping her because of skin burns thanks to an allergic reaction to latex and bruises all over her arms from the prodding and poking . Poor thing. She sent me pictures from her room with the promise not to show my parents-because it would surely upset them to see her in such a suffering condition. I don’t even think she got so much as an apology from the staff for all the pain and trauma they put her through. If anything- it reinforced her decision to never have to visit that “place of healing” ever again.
Wise decision. Only go to the hospital if there is no way to avoid it, appendicitis or broken bones or so. Otherwise, RUN !
I know several people like that. The only ones I know that died, all were already in the hospital and caught it there, and were left to die, or were taken there and passed away because hospital is not where you want to be when you can avoid it. Only 2 came back home after hospital stay. All the rest stayed home and healed.
It is high time we de-centralize. If this had been 200 years ago, before everyone went everywhere, this illness would not have existed (people at the time did not try to make others sick with fortified viruses and microbes) and even if an illness had emerged, they would have stayed at home, may be a few would have died, but it would not have spread, and there would not have been a global panic attack thanks to a few people who want the world to themselves ! Great comment Daylin. I am going to save it !
Thank you ! I appreciate the consideration! And agree wholeheartedly! Decentralize it all ! 👍
I feel the exact same way. I refuse to get health screenings or yearly checkups because just thinking about getting on that medical treadmill sickens me.
Me too! I mean I’m only 51, but I wasted a lot of time worrying in my 20s about things that could kill me. Worry is the ultimate boner killer.
I stopped going for the hated annual female checkup about 35 years ago. I decided I would not spend my years going to this appointment or for that intrusive test. I hate being around anyone who only talk about their doctors appointments and ailments. Makes me want to scream! I have been amazed how many people can spout off the names of all the prescription drugs without batting an eye. Impressive! I don’t remember the last time I went to any doctor. I’m safer and healthier that way. I am now 65.
This year I will have to go on Medicare, and you too I guess. I hope to be able to sidestep their annual nonsense. I never went on a yearly checkup and kind of wonder why so many people do that. It gives you a false idea of security (I know of at least 2 women who did a yearly pap test and developed cancer within weeks after it, although the test was negative). It is very important to listen to your own body. So many people seem to have lost touch with it, and with nature. Stay fit Linda !
Totally agree! I know I can do a lot better with my eating habits (and addictions)…I am not a “health nut” by any stretch of the imagination. I finally convinced my mother (87) to stop the continual doctor appointments. I figured if I went for a check-up, they are bound to find something wrong , write a prescription , and then never get off the ever expanding drug merry-go-round.
Wow I am so impressed! You learned young! I only quit the doc treadmill 7 years ago. I had been held hostage by the medical mafia for 20 plus years as I was on birth control pills. Could only get them a year at a time after an 'exam.' After I got old enough to not need them anymore, I decided I was through with that not fun adventure and I have never looked back. They always also pushed mammograms and colonoscopies and full body 'wellness' scans. Nothing but a criminal enterprise.
Thanks for your comment!
Not to mention that almost the sole reason for all those screening tests is to provide a perpetual profit faucet for the medical industry.
Outstanding article. At the risk of being overly simplistic, since the inception I have viewed Covid and the Med/Pharma establishment as simply a new stage in the surveillance state roll-out that began allegedly in response to 9/11. Vaccines and digital tracking are the tools being used to link the individual to the state.
Not just Outstanding but Powerful article.
Yes, Health Care was weaponized with everything else. I saw this for 35 of my 38 years as a community pharmacist and still, it even surprised me. At least I was lucky enough to retire before I was totally consumed by the "collective." I've had numerous practitioners tell me here recently, "Your concerns were valid."
"Valid!" Oh, but even now these people don't want to "push back" because they might "get into trouble."
I just tell them, "But you're not in trouble now? You are participating in genocide, forced sterility, murder, torture, fraud, mayhem, immorality, but, you're not in trouble now?"
It surprises me that all those medically schooled people can sleep at night. I have been tossing and turning because I could not convince a few friends and family of what was going on, and they actively participated in the slaughter. How can their souls find rest?
Great comment.
I also think all the editors and journalists are complicit. They could have saved millions of lives by exposing these crimes and frauds much earlier. Instead they defended the people, organizations and policies (mandates) that were killing and harming millions of people ... and still are.
Very complicit
BRAVO
The loss of independent physicians is heartbreaking and a great loss. Now all physicians are employed and must march to the tune of the company. Hospitals are not paid for quality. In fact, in a shocking reality that is difficult to understand - hospitals and health systems actually make more money when there are more complications and the care is poor.
Most healthcare CEO's say 50% excess off the top could be eliminated. And that's just a start.
And in a striking hard to believe reality - its the administrative costs that are skyrocketing because of government hyper-regulation. So 40% of the payout is going to administrators who essentially do nothing except creat a reason for their existence.
like the government itself ! create a reason for being there and opening the tap with money.
My husband is a physician assistant in an ER. The changes he's seen (and I get to hear about) in just the last ten years alone is depressing. The ER management group he works for has changed three times as the hospital seeks to improve profits by micro-managing healthcare. It's no longer about helping people (if it ever was), it's about making money for the board and administration. Business people who don't even understand how to take care of sick people are now in charge. Having adequate staffing, efficient processes and enough available beds is a thing of the past. In today's ER, their vision includes providers triaging out in the lobby so they can bill for services rendered before the patient walks out when they refuse to wait any longer, or allowing the number of ICU nurses available for seriously ill patients to drop along with the experience level (last week my husband was brought in to a room by a panicking young nurse who thought her patient was coding when a monitor had simply come loose). It now takes numerous hours to get scans and blood work complete which puts lives in danger. Some of the problem is due to staffing shortages but many of the staffing shortages are self-inflicted, due to resources being diverted to more profitable causes. One of their current protocols involve running extensive tests/scans/evaluations on patients involved in traumas no matter what the provider's physical exam shows, since anything labeled "trauma" in billing gets tens of thousands in reimbursement. It truly has become a reality show based in follow the money, at least in the ER. Now, in my fifties, at an age where I am more likely to see my parents, family and friends needing acute medical care, the foundation of the medical establishment is cracking and I'm not sure how long we have before it becomes complete unreliable. I'm thankful that I have my husband's expertise to rely on as plan A, but plan B is pretty shit-covered, and I worry about the others, who don't have support, that will get thrown into the system and spit out, with varying outcomes. We can't rely on medical institutions and pharma like we have in the past. We definitely need to make ourselves a higher priority when it comes to our health. The notion that the healthcare industry will "save us" if something goes awry is less reliable than ever. Don't wait to take care of yourself, make positive choices now-eat healthier, eat less, move more, find stress relief that works for you (meditation, stretching, deep breathing, etc) and regularly do something that you truly enjoy. Unfortunately, if you don't, it's going to be hit or miss as to what type of care you get going forward.
I think my mistrust of the medical industry was formed when I was 16. My mother was very ill and wasting away as she couldn't keep food down. Doctor after doctor ridiculed her and told her it was all in her head, and one of them told her he could find nothing at all wrong with her so he would call her illness "Dorothy's disease." When she was about 89 pounds (her normal weight would have been about 120), she fortunately got a new doctor who asked her "Have you ever been tested for celiac disease?". No doctor had said that before. She was found to have celiac disease, which is a genetic autoimmune disease leading to malabsorption of nutrients caused by eating gluten. Long story short, she stopped eating gluten (she was age 46), and she lived in perfect health until 95. She never exercised other than normal daily activity, she ate like she ate as a kid from a farm family...meats, potatoes, vegetables, whole fat dairy, no packaged garbage like cookies etc. Having to avoid gluten so strictly, she ate basic healthy foods. She was never again sick or in the hospital. She never took any kind of meds for anything.
As an adult I have also had encounters with clueless and unconcerned doctors, and I have always remained cautious and skeptical with any and all encounters with the medical establishment in general. This attitude has served me well, and at almost 73 I'm in great health, slim weight, athletic, take no meds, and am rarely sick with anything.
When I was growing up in the 50s and 60s, there just weren't the unhealthy, bloated overweight people you see today. I'm not sure what happened or when (seems like the 1980s), but in terms of overall health things have changed and people are stuffed with medications. Now I am seeing considerably overweight 6 year olds and teens. This was a true rarity in my early years. Something definitely changed.
Surely all the hormones in animals, the plastic packages and all the chemical garbage we eat are not helping. Very hard to live really healthy if you do not have your own farm!
My wife is a 24-year RN. For the very first time in all those years, SHE DESPISES HER JOB. Her manager rides her @ss because she spends too much time with her patients - they want her to chart, chart, chart and then chart some more (read: profit center.) She is supposed to be working three 12-hour shifts per week, but in fact never gets out before 13-14 hours a day and has NO lunch and NO breaks at all.
Her manager was 6 yrs old when my wife got her RN license. She's a complete idiot and neither cares nor knows anything about what a nurse does or is supposed to do. She does, however, watch the clock - 2 tardies and she'll write you up for an unauthorized absence. Imagine that in a field that is hemorrhaging nursing professionals.
She took a $10k sign-on bonus for a 2-year contract, but I swear she'll never finish this thing. We're ready to throw them the badge and move on, regardless of the financial hit. It really really sucks so bad.
And that's the other sad part of it all. Healthcare workers may not have always loved their jobs but they still wanted to help others, took pride in what they did and would do the extra to help out when needed, but they just can't anymore. Management has literally sucked the life out of them, so now what you DO get is mostly the shell of what they used to be. Nurses have often given their all with every patient they get-it's their nature, their calling, but now they're not allowed to do the job that they set out to do (giving their ALL to help someone else) AND they're forced to give half-assed efforts under extenuating circumstances, every single day. They're not only tortured by the extra hours, lack of resources and no respect/appreciation, they don't get the personal satisfaction of taking care of their patients in a way that renews their desire to keep doing it. How do they expect them to keep going like this! And when they suffer, so do the patients. They don't care about the people anymore, it's all about the money-everything else is just collateral damage. Even the providers are being stretched beyond capacity. I never thought I'd see the day where doctors were forced to work more hours, with less staffing and resources. Doctors used to call all the shots and would never stress themselves out with high patient loads but now management calls the shots. Docs too, now often give minimum effort and often, minimum patient care. Heck, they don't even care about helping each other cover shifts anymore when there are family emergencies. It's every man for themselves. It's so sad hearing about the burnout in healthcare. Many people would argue that the money that healthcare workers make should cover these added burdens but you can't get blood from a stone. Many, especially nurses, just have nothing left give and it's definitely WRONG!
Yeah, but every Nurse's Day they get new badge holders and a "We [heart] Nurses" sticker. So ... there's that! LOL
PS: how could I have forgotten the cafeteria coupon for a free coffee! (What a fricken' joke!)
That’s nothing - our sister’s hospital was giving our gift cards for shopping post Convid release worth hundreds of dollars. Then Xmas bonuses on top of those thanksgiving gift cards. An amazing hospital that fired its jab-free workers
Fast forward to now she’s looking for a new job
Money isn’t everything
Let’s hope the jabs don’t destroy her health
as a nurse your wife might find a less paying but much more rewarding place, sitting with sick and or elderly people. I know a nurse who did that well into her seventies, and was very happy doing so
My late husband was a minister for a while. He told me he quit because when meeting with other ministers the only talk was about how much money each church had and how much income, and nothing godly. Same with medical establishments. Hard to find one that cares.
The biggest problem is that we have been conditioned away from taking any self-responsibility. Primarily due to the significant move towards excessive consumerism - from our desire for convenience & instant gratification.
Its obvious with the obesity problem but everyone thinks they can fall back on shitty fad diets, surgery, tummy-tucks, lipo, pre-workout supplements & other pills that claim to be a "quick fix". None of it ever works, much of it has costly & negative (even dangerous) side effects - or INTENDED CONSEQUENCES, as I like to call them. Yet the industry is fucking MASSIVE & continues to grow. Why? Because people are lazy, & get even lazier as technologies are developed to create "short cuts" for everything in our lives. Easy solutions to completely avoidable, self'-inflicted problems. Thus, you can stuff your feelings in your face for 6 months because you'll just go on a fad diet, overdose on unregulated weightloss supplements, and whatever other "lose weight quick" scheme. But you won't make a real lifestyle change... you'll end up failing the diet & the other crap will get too expense & you won't be consistent with it anyway, so you eventually stop taking it. Any weight you lost is instantly gained back. Shocker.
The beauty industry is same thing too and goes hand-in-hand with the above issues.
Its no wonder we have a shitty allopathic medical system built off the same principles. If you research the history of how we got here, it all makes sense - the INSANE level of fraud, indoctrination & corruption begins to quickly unravel. We have steered so far in the opposite direction of nature, balance, & true health, that its unrecognizable, the answers we seek are so much simpler than the approach of the last 100-150 years.
Most of it began with the germ theory of disease (still never been proven using the scientific method & logic, reasoning, common sense...) and then the Rockefeller sponsored Flexner report in 1910, resulting in homeopathy, traditional medicine, naturopathy, and even chiropractors being labeled as quacks, and "less than", deemed as nonsense, unscientific and none of these areas of practice would be "accredited" or receive funding & grants. Instead they were all replaced with the oil tycoon's Allopathic model of medicine - because why not mix the petroleum business with medicine 🙄 - and then a NEW type of education system was rolled out. Only allopathic doctors who pushed their germ theory of disease were accredited & funded. Rinse & repeat for 100+ years.
If you asked questions back then - just like if you ask questions now - you are labeled a "cOnSpIrAcY tHeoRiSt", censored, ridiculed, threatened, your livelihood removed... These tactics aren't new sadly. Theyve perfected it. Its absolute insanity.
I wish more people could see how obvious it is.
Western medicine has never been able to cure a single DIS-ease. Why the hell do we continue buying into their broken system?
Just like the cattle that are led thru the maze of cattle pens to their eventual demise- Americans are led like pawns thru the medical minefield of fear and deception. We can live our unhealthy lifestyles- consuming too much sugar, too much alcohol, too many pills, getting little exercise, etc.- cause we can get a prescription that fools our brain into thinking we can outwit what is naturally gonna happen anyway(premature aging and death). How much is 20% of GDP? Trillions every year. I agree that medicine is a religion- very few ever back down from what their shepherd says, excuse me, doctor says. Mark, another good essay on reality in America. Two very detrimental items in American history which continue to take America down: when the Fed took over our monetary system and when the medical establishment began the fear based rhetoric of Big Brother Pharma knows best. Keep em coming Mark!
It happens to everything the Fed touches...add to the list public education, student loans...and finally, our military (thanks, Ike, for the warning - but we didn't listen).
I'm not surprised, human nature being what it is. But we seem to have lost our capacity to hold it in check.
And all the "captured" organizations support the other captured industries. There's no cog in the machine that can expose any of the other cogs .... because they are all in on it .... or they have all drank the same kool aid.
It’s a pertinent point and evidence shows that better nutrition, better personal hygiene, better sanitation, clean water, less crowed accommodation, has made a greater contribution to improved health than the trillions spent on medical care. Just a simple thing like hand washing particularly after using the lavatory has vastly reduced spread of disease and improved health.
A critical question should be asked of all new treatments/drugs/tests: how many people have to be treated/drugged/tested to save one life? FDA statistical life value is $7.9 million, so if cost is higher than that, don’t do it because that has an opportunity cost… could the money be better spent elsewhere with greater benefit or more lives saved?
Taking cancer research. This has been on-going for decades with billions and billions spent, a plethora of drugs. Yet real improvements are only marginal. A cure is always ‘just round the corner’ and ‘great strides have been made’, but people are still dying of the same cancers in increasing numbers.
We are in a society which has been encouraged to believe that every hiccough is a disease which should be checked out, every ailment must be treated, every malady has a cure - even death can be eliminated.
The two biggest risks for disease are genetics and age. There is nothing anyone can do about either. George Burns quipped he was looking forward to reaching 100 because very few people die over a hundred.
Average age of a CoVid death in the UK was 82 - life expectancy is 81. We are spending billions on saving people who are on borrowed time and sacrificing the health and lives of young people with decades of life left. Insane; evil.
Why do people go and get their cholesterol, checked, blood pressure checked, checked for diabetes, screened for this cancer and that cancer - they are never away from the doctor/hospital?
That’s not looking after your health, it’s somewhere between a hobby and an obsession. Take up golf!
These folk end up on multiple medications. Blue pill for blood pressure, green pill for diabetes, yellow pill for cholesterol, white pill for the stomach ulcer one of the other pills - but nobody is sure which - is causing, the striped pill to remind you to take the other pills and purple pills for the depression caused by taking all the pills and regular screening to check the pills aren’t giving you cancer.
The body is really good at letting you know when something is really wrong.
One other very serious aspect. The scope of public health has now expanded to include private health. Our waistline, diet, our vaccination status, our blood pressure, whether we have diabetes, seat belts/baby seats in cars, smoking, alcohol - personal responsibility taken away, all now socialised, a matter of public concern. Result: blossoming bureaucracies full of prodnoses.
The excuse is burden/cost on healthcare services, protecting others (granny but never grandpa), saving others inconvenience. If you don’t wear a seat belt - it’s not fair on the emergency first responders and hospital staff who have to deal with trauma… because apparently that’s not their job.
Modern medicine, with the help of numerous vested interests, seems to have been on a campaign to turn everyone into hypochondriacs...and then addicts.
exactly what has happened. I think this has been going on for at least 60 or more years. I think my generation is the first to mass medicine. I remember as a kid how gramma had elderberry syrup for coughs, but mom preferred the prescription (pfizer antibiotics) that made me sicker. Seems this was one of the worst meds ever to come to the market. After that, I noticed my sisters in law running to the doc for everything, while I was already using natural products. Once bitten. At 14 a pneumonia did not react to antibiotics because I had had so many. So the specialist called in, gave me some meds that were dirt cheap, and helped and I have hardly been sick since. Now 65, I wish I had kept the receipe from the meds, because 3 years later they were taken off the market. The pharmacist said they were so good no one who took them got sick anymore. No cash for pharma !
there are cures for cancer. they have been frozen by bigharma. Cost too little, not patentable, natural methods, etc. People are being kept hostage by these bigharma bosses. If ill, turn to nature first. Most common illnesses can be easily cured by natural means. For cancer, try the Budwig protocol or Moerman diets. Considered quacks but work. Both had a slew of patients healed, not in remission but living for another 20 or more healthy years !
Yep it’s true. Good friend was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer a couple years ago. Immediately sought out cancer renegade from Yale who guided him back to life and health thru zero carb diet regimen.
He’s alive and kickin’ today - many months after the std cancer establishment said he’d be dead and buried.
A friend's father was given one year by his doctor if he started the treatment immediately. He said no thanks, and lived 3 more years.
Started low-carb diet 12 years ago, have not had a single cold or other illness since then. This is a common anecdote in low-carb circles.
Oh dear. If there were cures for cancer it would be huge money.
Natural methods - well, we’d all know and use them, they would have been around since God was in short trousers and there would be no cancer.
This is like engines that run on water but Big Oil is suppressing it.
Uh huh. Kinda like all those crazies thinking that ivermectin is effective with nothing to go on except the huge numbers of its success. - but that’s just conspiracy talk
No you don't know about them do you. Still, the Budwig method is in use since the 1930s. It is used in Germany. It is used in Mexico. In the US it cannot be used on its own, you have to take radiation and chemo on top (that is where the money is). In the 1960s a doctor sold his method to bigharma, to find that they did not use it, because it was based on very cheap methods. And he had signed a silence contract of course. The Moerman method is around for at least 50 years. They are not mentioned anywhere and considered quacks. But Moerman healed a lot of people. There are pages online. Check them out. Just like this whole covid myth there is a chemo and radiation myth. If you rather be poisoned, your choice.
I often use an example I picked up in a John Stossel special. He showed how government and industry were spending $XX million to remove dirt, perhaps contaminated by lead. He interviewed an expert who said, yes, this lead could cause cancer a couple decades later ... if one person ate a bucket of this sand every day for a couple of years. Why not spend this $20 million on building 2,000 more miles of guardrails to protect cars from rolling off of dangerous shoulders of highways? We KNOW that would save many lives and prevent many serious injuries over time.
Add into this mess a “pandemic” and global “vaccine” mandate and the discrimination of all who hold views deemed unacceptable and we’ve entered the “Twilight Zone “. I saw in the last day or two that 2 children were being denied life-saving transplants because of their vaccination status (major university hospitals). 1 child WILL die without the intervention— the other will be on perpetual dialysis…. How is this possible?? We don’t need the Great Reset, we need a Great Awakening….(borrowed from JP)
Seems like a nice power outage would help, about a month of no juice, no tv....folks would snap out of it, the ones that live through the blackout.
having lived and worked in SE Asia for almost 20 years, there were moments that the refrigerator would turn on (thermostat) and consequently the PC would die. or turning on the computer while someone was ironing....oops.... no electricity for at least a while! sometimes our street, the neigthbourhood or parts of the city wouldn't have any power, and it was sobering indeed. many times I've found myself secretely wishing for a general power outage in our (over)developed world of at least a few hours, it puts things into a whole different and much healthier perspective.
and how you want to do all things electric when the power is out ! Make coffee. Shower (people with a well have no water), do some ironing, put the laundry in.... yikes!
true, but we're resilient and creative. or do we opt for a comfort zombies model? life has existed waaay longer than electrical appliances, so there's that. how did they do it? ;-))
I still see my mom doing laundry by hand. When I got married, the first thing I wanted was a laundry machine. Shortly after mom got one too. Never seen her wash anything by hand again!
Thanks mary-lou. Maybe thats why they have been ?perhaps? geoengineering those giant hail balls this year, some bigger than softballs, much damage, cars smashed. Hmm..re your history..you might really enjoy Amy Sukwans Substack, both her point of view and location...if you havent already.....trying to type faster now, in case it happens!....Crazy to think all this fuss pushing electricity around has only been a 'thing' under 150 years....and only 25? or so since wireless. Or even going back to Ben Franklin and that key on a kite string, 1752...
could you do that in the colder season please? we have temperatures close to 100 right now LOL. Might not be much fun !
Fun, no, but would speed up spell breaking with lots of collateral damage. And of course not my call, nor do I have backup electricity. I would trade alot to break the spell of the MSM, spare some additional lives from this poison. Here in OR we have been unseasonably cool all spring, the most in the 30 years I have witnessed here, and multiple hail storms even in June. I am highly heat tolerant, so we should trade locations....best
Who or what is EricTopol?
Def What. If you go to his Substack it will make him money, so maybe don't. But I see his articles in other publications, he is a shiller diller Doc pushing jabs still, while trying to seem trustworthy.
Many here called it out, as his comments had to be shut off in the first days...he is the opposite of what I think Substack or thought Substack would promote with a 'featured writer' position. So, they propped him here over many Doctors who were trying to save, instead of poison, lives. I guess it was a bone to throw to the TNI or such. Not a trustworthy doctor, E T..
To underscore what Mark is saying, about 70% of the drugs in the prescriptions that patients consume is rejected into the urine. This is because they are artificial chemicals (sometimes real poisons like chemotherapy!!) that the body is doing its best to purge you of. In the case of the highly artificial birth control "pill", the estrogen in the pill is a highly artificial form that is 100 TIMES more potent than the estrogen produced by our bodies (mostly by women's bodies). Therefore, the body rejects that chemical (ethinyl estradiol - EE2) at 90%!! That is correct, the overwhelming majority of the "estrogen" consumed by women to prevent pregnancy is rejected into the urine and enters the biosphere. Our sewerage treatment processes were originally designed in the 19th century and they haven't changed very much. If you are lucky and the sewerage that that urine enters is treated by a Sewerage treatment plant (some of it is just dumped in rivers), we are lucky if 50% of the EE2 is captured by the bacteria in those processes. That is, almost half of the EE2 from the Pill (and others sources such as the estrogen fed to dairy cows, in the US), enters the biosphere where it is concentrated up the food chain and WE consume it. Some of the "biosolids" (dead bacteria) from the sewerage treatment process capture some of the EE2 (and other human derived chemicals, many!!) and they are added to farmers fields as low cost fertilizer. So you are eating those pharmaceuticals through at least 2 pathways. Believe me when I tell you that the ~50% decline in male fertility over the last 60 years is in large part due to the avalanche of these "Endocrine disrupting chemicals" (EDCs).
Of course, this is not an accident. Nor is the slavery to the medial industrial complex. The only answer is to become aware of your food (more good fats!! such as avocado, wild fish, and nut oils like coconut, almond, etc.) and reduce carbs and especially sugar! Finally, we eat way too much protein!! IT may "lose us some weight" but good fats are the way to go with more water!
May God save us from our foolishness!

One hip replacement and two revisions later, I can say confidently that I should have left my congenital hip deformity alone. Maybe less pain but all the working out and training has not changed the weakness on my left side. I am done with conventional medicine. Thank you, Mark for reinforcing my decision to pursue alternative medicine.
The Medical/Industrial complex, like Eisenhower's Military/Industrial complex, might be said to be a subset of the Political/Financial complex, although you probably couldn't put the thickness of a sheet of paper between any of them. The search for the next dollar drives everything, the market must grow.
Excellent piece again, Mark, thank you!
I'm just gonna stop "liking" all these posts - they're all excellent, but at a certain point it's just redundant. So if you posted a response, here's your notice: I liked it - I liked it quite a bit. You people are truly excellent.
Hahaha Fred ! after 4 or five likes, the mechanism stops anyway !
Is that why I can't like comments sometimes??? I did not know that!
My profile pic is of my 7th great grandfather, Arthur Middleton, who was a Founding Father and signer to the Declaration. I've been thinking of him lately - what would he think of our current predicament, etc., etc.
He was taken captive when the British sacked his plantation, and he died very young from the hardship of imprisonment in Florida.
I've not a doubt that he would be disgusted at what I've allowed to happen.
Cool family history! Speaking of family. I did a genealogy search one day and came across a patriarchal relative of mine way back in the 1600's in Canada. She had 12 children and lived into her 90's. How did she do it without modern medicine? How did humans become such a populous species without modern drugs and treatments. It's a mystery I rtell you.
She must’ve had a Managed Care Plan
"Second, the skeptics are physically fit and detractors of the medical industry"
boom
a lazy body and a lazy mind , does this sound like the average american sheeple ? naaaaahhhhh :-(
At this point I am welcoming hard economic times, as it might be the only way to get folks to focus on the con job that is our federal government in the US.
As for Canada - too far gone.
Canada is now the North Korea of North America.
Spot on again, Mark. I haven't been to see a doctor in 9 years (they were not helpful at all, anyway) and aim for it to be many, many more. Not there is actually much availability for healthcare in Ontario now anyway. But let's face the real problem as I see it - our friends, our neighbours, our coworkers, who we have found out to our dismay are much weaker and thoughtless conformists than we ever imagined.
Great message. Remember the saying an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure? Our medical pharmaceutical interventions are the pound of cure, while the clean water, sanitation and single ingredient whole foods are the ounce of prevention.
Nowhere today do we have a standard of care in any discipline that promotes prevention. The ADA and AHA were both founded and funded by the Seventh Day Adventist Church and two of their most successful members, Post and Kellogg, as in C. W. Post and W. K. Kellogg of the well known cereal companies. By installing undisclosed agents with an activist bias against traditional human food sources in favor of powdered wheat, we were set up perfectly for Dr. Ancel Keyes, diet heart hypotheses which states cholesterol cause heart disease (not true). Replacing thousands of years of evolution and decades of medical experience with religious dogma and pseudo science has set us on the path that resulted in us being where we are today. Fascinating deep dive from Belinda Fetke, wife of Dr. Gary Fetke who is my source and has cited all of her sources for what I am repeating.
All too true.
Can you hear me cheering?
By the way, for anybody who tries to Google it, here's the correct spelling of Fettke. https://www.nofructose.com/gary-fettke/
Thanks, I really like Gary and Belinda's work.
