Vaccine makers in freefall as NYT catches up; drug ad ban gains steam and corporate media hit hardest; AI disrupts doctors AND Hollywood; Anderson Cooper exits 60 Minutes over journalism; more.
The reason AI can so easily take our doctors and dentists jobs is because they already weren’t human centered anymore, anyhow. Most medical professionals have Big Pharma and Big Insurance as their customers, not their patients.
In that sense, AI would be an improvement (and I don’t like AI).
But the doctors in it for the love of healing - they will likely always have patients. They may not grow rich off their practice anymore (ready to trade some chickens or eggs for services again?) but they’ll always be in demand because they see the whole patient personally.
I used to meet those Docs when I was young. Now, on a regular basis, I meet the arrogant "I know everything, you know nothing", types and the "if you don't follow my orders and take the statin, you are non-compliant and you are no longer my patient" type. I am 78 and regularly see my ophthalmologist to manage my glaucoma so I don't go blind. The rest can take a flying leap.
During the height of the Moo Goo Gai Panic, my cardiologist insisted everyone in the room was masked. When I pointed out that the weave-gap of an N95 mask was 0.3 microns (300 nanometers) and that the size of the COVID particle is 84 nanometers -- and that it goes through an N95 like sand through a cyclone fence -- he flew off the handle and (briefly) refused to treat me. I came THIS close, as Maxwell Smart might say, to reporting him for malpractice.
Are you an Industrial Hygienist, by any chance? The silencing of I.H.'s was truly shocking and harmful. Every time I tried to share the Stephen Petty podcasts, explaining reality, they were blocked and disappeared.
He and a few others were so helpful in explaining the actual science behind PPE and masks especially!! I will be forever grateful to them! And yes, it was shocking how *these* true experts were dismissed and sidelined, while people like doctors and epidemiologists, whose areas of expertise are not about that, were held up as experts. It made me even more furious when I learned that the whole universal masking nonsense was begun by people who had nothing to do with the medical field, even! If I remember correctly, one was a social scientist 🤨
My Doogie Howser styled “cardiologist” chided me “if you were my mother, I’d have you on statins”, my reply: “if you were my son I’d put you in the corner” and then walked out. I no longer see any of these pushers, I figure God will take me when he wants me home and nothing I do here on earth will stop Him.
My wife was asked by her oncologist to no longer be a patient because my wife would not commit to a 5 year regimen of a medicine (Tamoxifen) which would be ineffective/useless at preventing a recurrence of her particular cancer, for a cancer that had a very low probability of recurring, and would make my wife miserable for 5 years. I'm guessing her oncologist was really upset that should wouldn't be making a kickback.
My husband was given a prescription from a doctor for a condition. He asked what was causing the condition and the doctor became infuriated. Just take the medicine he sniped. He didn't fill the prescription. Instead he got on the Internet and found a holistic cure and what caused it. Going to a doctor now is a last resort.
The demise of Dr arrogance and hollyweird is a definite benefit of AI. Add in attorneys (sorry Jeff) and we have a triple win for AI, a very powerful tool that also can be and will be abused. It is not the complete end however. AIs hallucinate, that is one of the signs of no real intelligence, they can miss obvious things, think 2026 is 2024, deny they said something two paragraphs before, etc.
So these fields will still be there. A firm, instead of having 5 Paralegals will have one to review, and fewer attorneys as well. As to Hollyweird I have less sympathy for. Exceptions like Jim Cavizel will always gain myself as an audience. Jeff gave an excellent example of use of AI for medical. I self diagnosed ABPA, a serious lung disease sensitivity to a common mold through AI, and came in asking for the tests to prove it, and immediately asking for a biologic verses steroids.
I will be doing all the prep work for a living trust, and find a decent attorney to simply review. and file. (you don't want to error here) ( Distribution of a trust is where attorneys make the most, and that will no longer be needed with an appropriate AI. After doing the work for my Dads estate I realized it is not as difficult as I thought. Involved, yes, but a decent AI with state appropriate forms and your own research, can guide this very well.
My wife and I talked to a lawyer about wills, trusts, health care directives...the whole sheebang. The lawyer wrote up the documents and emailed them to me for review. I uploaded the doc to Claude Pro and it reviewed them all. It caught a spelling mistake, a wrong phone number, some inconsistencies with beneficiaries and listed a bunch of questions to ask the lawyer. I thought Claude did a very good job, but I'm not a lawyer.
@JBell- and pre-op questions. A nurse, who sounded like she had retired then went back to work- asked me about a medication. I said "If I were on 5 mg of (said med), I'd be dead." "Oh! Haha! Yes! .5 mg!" I also suspect she's the one who didn't send the complete meds list over to the operating center resulting in a medication mix up that could have killed me had I not had the medical background to recognize it.
I'm on medicare and have 5 separate specialties that I see on a less than regular basis. All 5 want to have me on different meds WITHOUT any sort of central control. I saw a ENT for a persistent runny nose. He gave me a nose spray that completely ended my ability to pee because it was contra indicated with my prostate med. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CHECKING, ASSHOLE!! I use Ai and no longer have med mixups.
a very similar reduction already happening... a major accounting firm just had to take about 25 percent off of a 400 k job, and soon that work may well go in house.
Ah, Allergic BroncoPulmonary Aspergillosis. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago. Itraconazole is the prescribed anti fungal and has been working well for me for a long time. I only take a half dose and have never had a side effect. In fact, by happenstance I met the research doc who was instrumental in developing it. My pulmonologist and I both believe that I am doing so well because I ride a road bike very vigorously and often. Plus, I live in a dry climate. Be careful with the biologics as they can have serious side effects. Good luck.
I've known 2 doctors like that. They both retired. Both were in private practice. Private practice is decreasing significantly in the US as practices over recent decades have become increasingly purchased/affiliated with corporations, hospitals, and health systems. The doctors in such systems are already controlled, with making money being the number one priority, not patient health. Independent, out of the box thinking is not allowed.
My PCP and my kids pediatrician are both private practice. And they’re much better than anything else I can get where I live BUT they still have too much faith in the system they came out of.
I’ve seen a LOT of holistic and alternative medicine doctors over the years (autoimmune conditions) and sadly I don’t think they are much better anymore.
I’ve known just one or two who aren’t wanting to supplement you into bankruptcy, and keep you on a diet of chicken and rice or whatever the latest fad is.
@David- my husband's last physical, the nurse handed him a stack of papers to fill out for Medicare. Dr. walked in while the poor guy was still trying to fill them out. Dr. took the clipboard out of his hands, took the paper out, threw them away, and said "They don't need all that crap." One reason we keep him.
Isn’t that telling that that (throwing the paperwork away) CAN be done? If only more doctors would do it, the system wouldn’t be able to destroy them all!
There are only four causes of sickness: toxic exposure, nutrition deficiencies, electromagnetic frequencies and chronic stress. If we listen to our body, we won’t money driven doctors, drugs or AI. Health should be our sole responsibility- instead it’s a 4 trillion dollar empire: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/why-youre-a-healthcare-customer-not
Vaccines are a huge part of illness, Franklin. You covered them by saying ‘toxic exposure’— but I just want the Portlanders in all of us to be 100% clear.
Thank GOD RFK made the HepB shot we were giving infants on Day 1 optional, although at present, I’m sure there are still millions unquestioningly allowing them to jab their newborns with it. THEN they give the synthetic vitamin K shot to their corn the blood bc babies can’t clot until Day 8.
*If they’d wait til Day 8 to circumcise or do any other surgery if any type, they wouldn’t need to artificially thicken the blood! It’s almost like the Creator had a clue what He was doing!
So the blood is made into a tar-like substance, and can no longer get into nooks and crannies to help heal little blood vessels and so on that may have been harmed during the trauma of birth. (Brilliant. Who needs THIN, healing blood when you can have sludge-like TAR?) This makes baby sloth-like and unable to nurse properly, but…
Then we go on and vaccinate MORE at 2, 4, 6, and 8 months.
EACH vaccine has alcohol, formaldehyde, aborted calf serum, (SO awful how this serum comes to be injected into our infants!) and fragmented cells of aborted babies— BOTH sexes, which I believe helps create autoimmune diseases AND gender confusion. The polysorbates in every vaccine open the Blood Brain Barrier and usher toxins past the barrier. These included heavy metals and aluminum. Everybody knows aluminum starts dementia and alzheimer’s, but what do we care? That won’t show up for decades.
*Sorry! I have to just keep telling this story, i’m the hopes that it saves ONE family from autism and more.
I so wish I could convince my kids to omit them...I've tried, but parents of course have full control. It sure adds to the worries you already have for your precious grandkids :(
Buy my other favorite attorney’s book, VACCINES, AMEN! for them.
The first paragraph hooks you. My kids aren’t having babies quite yet, although I wish they would. IF they do, I think I will BRIBE them to read ONE book. VACCINES, AMEN!,
TURTLES ALL the WAY DOWN, or
DISSOLVING ILLUSIONS. Their choice, and I’ll pay “biggly”!
You’ll be blessed if your adult kids listen to you on the vaccine topic. Typically they’re more inclined to believe the pediatrician- who has a major conflict of interest as they can make tens of thousands in bonus money by vaxxing as many kids as possible. Just ask the doc the question. THAT needs to change.
I’m very lucky in that my daughter has listened to me about vaccines and my 17mo old granddaughter has had none. The kid has never been sick a day in her life beyond two 12hr teething fevers! And she’s had lots of exposures. She just has an amazing immune system.
RFK recently ended the insurance kickbacks. I’m uncertain if it’s fully kicked in (or out!) yet but I read he had ended it.
You are correct; THAT will be helpful.
For now, I get on all the FB / instagram anti vaccine groups and post the ingredients, some of Aaron Siri’s brilliant stuff, videos from Dr. Suzanne Humphries and Dr. Sheri Tenpenny.
I post abt the movie Del Bigtree did, An Inconvenient Study, and so on.
I’ve been told by 4 people that they didn’t vax their babies on account of info I sent them. It makes it worthwhile knowing I possibly made a dent in the “safe & effective” mantra.
I have all of those sitting in my Amazon cart-lol! I love what Aaron Siri has done for our cause. A good thought though, thank you! I have tried to send books, articles, charts and studies on vaxxed vs unvaxxed, increased rates of autism post vaccination, etc...I read it all, get rebuffed, and then have to let it go. My firstborn son always had shot reactions as a toddler and got JRA and Dermatomyositis at age 2 and 5. I sadly never considered the shots as it was a time (1984) that you never questioned, so I guess my kids follow that pattern unfortunately. All my kids got the Covid vax due to employment and/or believing the hype :( I got religious exemptions, but still remember patients and coworkers that were so proud of all their boosters. Like Jeff says...what interesting times we live in...may the best yet lie ahead for us all.
It’s likely that your kids carry some part of the MTHFR gene. I went the same route as you did, and I am certain our middle child got eczema (listed on several
childhood vax inserts as a possible adverse reaction) but we cured it— eventually, thank heaven. She and her sister also got severe jaundice
as infants and one spent weeks in a tiny “tanning bed”, with a mask on her eyes, wearing mittens so she couldn’t pull it off. She had to have her heel pricked and blood drawn several times a day. I swear that’s why she so feisty! 😉
Later in life, the same child developed Gilbert’s Syndrome. I am 100% sure it stemmed from the SYNTHETIC vitamin K shot she endured, Day 1.
It is rough on the liver and that’s what Gilbert’s harms. It’s strongly connected with babies having severe jaundice, and of course, jaundice is listed in the vitamin K insert.
She’s 30 now, but her liver is junk. She can’t eat many food colorings, not much junk and she can’t have more than 1.5 drinks in like a 24 hour period— even at her own wedding.
@KC & the Sunshine Agree 💯 on “Vaccines, Amen!” Hubs and I listened to Aaron Siri on a podcast during a roadtrip, and he was so impressed that HE ordered it and read it. He always listened to me about vaxxing, but I never thought he really cared/understood the tremendous dangers. He did after reading that book!
How to Raise a Healthy Child … in Spite of Your Doctor cleared up vaccines for me back in 1989. And helped me relax about so much else in raising my kids. My youngest already has it (her wedding is next month).
Nonetheless, it’s a common thing and I think hospitals insisting on circumcision before (IF they’re going to do it at all) the family leaves, is a HUGE part of the “you MUST have a synthetic vitamin K shot or your baby may bleed out”.
Yeahhhhh, if your blood is super thin, it’s not a good plan to have a bloody surgery! But does our medical establishment think maybe just wait a few days? MAYBE the blood is thin for a reason and MAYBE the bible says circumcise on Day 8 bc THAT is the first day blood can clot? Nooooo… Our medical establishment says, “There’s something wrong here. It can’t be what WE are doing. It’s MUST be Mother Nature. We have to intervene with a synthetic vitamin.”
And maybe, just maybe our little ones were perfect the way they were born. Somehow the Amish never need all of this stuff and their kids survive. Much better than ours do. I still am not all that convinced that circumcision is a good idea. Of course it might have made sense 3,000 years ago, but today? Why are we still doing that to those poor infants? What kind of emotional damage is being done to a little tiny baby when he is attacked and operated on without anesthesia!? And in the instances where it is a religious exercise, some of those rabbis actually suck on the little penis to stem the bleeding. I have Jewish people in my family, and I have never been able to get them to explain why that is okay. And has anyone ever asked the question how does this affect that infants brain? How is that not sexual assault? It's time to start asking these questions.
When I did circumcisions in the late 1980s and early 1990s, we used local anesthesia. They didn't cry or even seem to notice (though I wasn't around later , when the anesthesia wore off, either).
I have heard this over and over. I had a son and he was absolutely fine within minutes of his circumcision, but I kick myself that I let them talk me
out of waiting until Day 8. He was 2 days old.
He’s grown now and we’ve only spoken about it once when he had a friend sleep over and they pending our lake. He was alarmed! 😂 He was about 8 at the time.
I can’t speak to the rabbi thing— nor even bring myself to type it. I can assure you that practice is NOT in the bible.
I’m not certain of the need or spiritual reasons behind circumcision or whether Jesus fulfilled that somehow when he was crucified. I have heard and read differing opinions on it.
I do know that for many people, 2nd guessing what God put into play is what gets us into trouble.
Don’t hear me totally saying circumcision has GOT to happen. But if it is a part of the plan, I think the pain is very short lived, and not remembered— similar to childbirth.
A friend is a nurse in an office where they regularly do circumcisions. I always assumed it was on babies. Nope!
They’re doing them sometimes multiple times, DAILY, on boys who are at that age, having sex, or about to, bc they are embarrassed. Or the boys are just embarrassed in the locker room/gym.
They wish they’d had it done years ago, I am sure.
It’s not necessary. Other Christian countries don’t do it. And they don’t have a bunch of boys or men with health problems due to not circumcising. It’s another cash cow for doctors and hospitals.
And that includes recovering from all the poor dentistry that many have been obediently allowing all their life: Metal fillings, fluoride, poorly fit crowns, etc. I would love to see more attention paid to poor, toxic dentistry.
I’m in this awful cycle right now 😢 I don’t have the old school fillings because my teeth were perfect till my mid twenties but after five kids (even with good dental hygiene and eating healthy) my teeth are one of my biggest worries. The dentist I see only wants to drill and fill. Last time I saw him, he shrugged off my questions. “I’m not a researcher. I’m just the mechanic.”
I AM a researcher and still can’t figure out why my teeth are deteriorating. Our only holistic dentist within an hour drive wants $600 and a ton of x-rays just to see me - and may refuse to talk to me if I refuse the x-rays! I’m getting so fed up even with the supposed “alternatives” but not in a position to just stop care now 😔
Franklin, a good overview yet a bit narrow unless stress is expanded to mean not engaging in those acts and thoughts that harm the soul and inevitably create universal misery. ( A simple illustration, the Miser is universally miserable in every culture, the one who strives to work as a service to otheres, the loving attentive Mom and Dad, the one who cares, they gain a universal happiness.) So our thoughts and actions are ultimately the root cause of stress.
David, 1,000% agree here. I actually just wrote an article how we need to bring back villages and communities, and one of the byproducts of villages is that deep spiritual piece you mention here. 1,000% agree here. Here the article: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/how-greed-destroyed-the-human-village
Thank you, an excerpt of this if you will...If all the radical statist indefatigable efforts to control society were instead directed to social studies which specifically teach free choice behavior that can be universally shown to engender happiness, such as the common religious ideal “life should be chiefly service” and the principles of eternal virtue, (called the ten commandments in the West, and Satama Dharma, or eternal principles of righteousness, in the East) only then will any earthly utopia be gained. With instant communication of need and rapid commerce, charity driven help could be rapidly delivered where needed all over. This is far more efficient than government, (where the effect is often the polar opposite of the stated intent) and far more liberating for those that engage in such work.
This understanding of true and universal happiness engendering actions and psychology is no small matter, and is so deeply missing in modern social science that failure is inevitable and all systems are doomed. Instead of wisdom, we have flawed people utterly lacking introspection, expensively taught to perceive themselves as elite and teaching others to perceive themselves as victims. These elite seek forced divisive based restitution rooted in confrontation with those innocent yet presumed guilty, often simply because of their color. And, in submission to their own demonstrated to be misery generating unwise personal desires, they often also spread their misery to all social structures, demanding to control every aspect of society and culture. The "March through the Institutions" is real.
Comprehensive studies on universal happiness (actions and attitudes that always eventually produce happiness) vs pleasure, (defined here as temporary capricious desires that only lead to temporary happiness, and often for that individual simply due to the fact that any desired satisfied temporarily removes a restless want from the undisciplined heart, or base desires that if catered to promise temporary happiness but instead enslave, produce misery and destroy happiness) is NECESSARY for society to survive and prosper. (“Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness.” ~~George Washington)
This philosophy of happiness, is not impractical imagination. Everybody is a philosopher in that one’s ethos, emotions and desires, are inevitably and always one’s philosophy lived. What works can rightly be called wisdom. Giving in to undisciplined unwise desires, or “getting what you want”, has ruined countless lives and cultures. “Desires lead to restlessness, restlessness leads to acts, then the memory all betrayed, lets noble purpose go, and saps the mind, until purpose mind and man are all undone.” There is an additional spiritual side of life that is necessary for lasting happiness. Yet that requires a different understanding of the “epistomolgy of nomunea” and so will be held for a later post.
Unbiased scientific understanding what truly makes content individuals and prosperous societies, and teaching this in our families and schools, would be immeasurably more valuable and lead to spiritual tuned lives and nations. In short teaching the Bible’s ten commandments as “eternal rules of happiness” and showing how these are perfectly reflected in India’s “Satama Dharma” principles, along with understanding the foundational freedom principles of the U.S., would be ideal.
While I agree, managing a group of people and running a business boosted my cholesterol over 200. Been on statins since 1999 and have great blood pressure and good health. One does have to tolerate som aches and pains….its all part of growing older :) and it beats the alternative.
No offense intended, but with that assumption you should have been a doctor, assuming you aren't already.
Using 23andMe raw data, I learned from CLAUDE that I have a susceptibility to a SERIOUS disease condition that can be prevented by adopting nutrition and lifestyle changes that no doctor ever even asks about, at least in my experience.
In fact, now I have to go to my doc and get him to prescribe a couple of meds that can be preventatively helpful, knowing it will take a month or two to see him for 10 minutes and risk hearing all the blowback.
And by the way Claude doesn't use the raw data for training, doesn't keep nor spread it around... it goes away when the conversation is closed out.

A limited list. Infectious agents( bacteria/ viruses/ prions/ parasites) also cause many diseases, some not traditionally linked to infection, such as the HPV cervical cancer cascade.
Genetic/ congenital issues are also a significant source of illnesses in many people.
Accident/ trauma cause major morbidity and mortality world wide.
Family/ social environment underlie much of mental illness.
You have an incomplete list of causes of disease.
Perhaps an AI consult could help improve the list.
Bacteria appear to clean up dead or diseased tissue. They are not pathogens. They are the clean up crew. No one has yet isolated any so called viruses including the alleged HPV. Contagion has yet to be proven. Same with genetic issues. Looking for genes as the cause of disease is a great distraction and money pit.
I think there is an underestimated need for Personal Medical Advocates. Maybe some displaced doctors who refused being a lab rat can earn some sheckles working with patients privately. If I have a confounding ailment, or surgery is recommended, I would LOVE an advocate that can go on consultation appts with me and read lab results. It is akin to bringing my car to the mechanic and being stymied by the foreign language of “car” so I’m at the mercy of the mechanic.
Absolutely! Also in practice by himself so he can do it the way he believes he should rather than having some corporate office calling the shots. Gee, after 2020, that phrase takes on new meaning.
Speaking of doctors' inhumanity who are no longer patient centered: I drove a friend an hour and a half to her eye doctor. The waiting room was cold and sterile with at least 100 steel chairs with gray walls in straight rows. There was a huge red stop sign just inside the front door no one could pass until called by a woman behind a thick glass barricade. My friend was told that because she was 20 minutes late, she would not be seen. We headed home . As it turned out, my friend had not been late; the employee who made the appointment had keyed it into the system incorrectly.
I am admittedly biased. My ex is a surgeon and I watched him morph from a supposed human to a creature of the medical complex. Doctors learn a rote bedside manner that makes their patients feel cared for. That may or may not be the truth. Whenever someone says "My doctor is the best!" I know they are being bamboozled by appearances and an authoritative white coat. And the hardest part of it all is how do you even determine if the medical "care" you are getting is good? I've had so many medical screw ups by "the best". Medicine is a black box to most of us. Who knows what lurks within? I personally welcome AI. Maybe not human. Maybe competent without too many competing priorities.
Being paid in chickens is not an exciting prospect for someone who paid a quarter mill' for their education and devoted at least 8 years of their life to obtain the training they needed to help people.
My nephew has found a lucrative practice in temp’ing at ab—tion clinics in CA. He lives out of state with his wife/children but travels back for a month or so to earn enough to maintain a comfortable life style. He also self-medicates with weed. I guess he figures his ‘patients’ won’t sue and don’t care as long as ‘the problem’ is taken care of. I pray for him. He has gone from a brilliant, personable guy to a very miserable, sullen jerk.
I agree. My dentist who is very up to date on everything, (she was recommended by my old dentist, who I loved, when he retired), has cut her office staff to one besides herself. She uses AI to do all her bookkeeping, insurance forms, and appointment set ups. He assistant does all the cleaning and hygiene stuff and she does just the actual dental work.
My dentist who was recommended by retiring dentist used to be friendly, conversion, and gave options. He has become very authoritative, after all he is the dentist, demands that you follow his demands or you can go elsewhere. He demanded annual X-rays, had them and less than 6 months later after breaking a tooth and needing root canal and crown, I was informed of 2 adjoining teeth requiring root canals. The endodontist hedged about whether the dentist should have seen the cavities on X-ray. They are crowned teeth, the dentist stated the X-rays can’t see under the crowns! I’m not sure if this is true or not. In any case, when demanding X-rays, he never told me the X-rays would only be good for uncrowned teeth! I am finishing the work on 2 teeth and will be finding a new dentist.
We are blessed with a doc that's in it for healing. Spends minimum 30 mins with each patient, but often an hour. Makes sure he understands the problem and then ensures that the patient understands what he's recommending and why. He doesn't take insurance but he's worth every penny. He's so old school that all patient charts are paper-based, and we appreciate that too! There are some good ones out there!
You forgot to add Big Data to your customer list. Doctors spend more time looking at their screens, navigating checklists and buried menus with more checklists, and cross-examining patients for data than they do looking at or touching patients.
Just finished a crazy medical year. But I’m coming out healed. And my doctor is wonderful. In fact, all my doctors are wonderful and they hate this current system as much as anybody.
It's been our experience that doctors rarely even see their patients anymore. They now now have PA's. I'm ok with that if it's something minor but if it's a PA you get post outpatient surgery, no bueno, imo.
We better straighten out the exorbitant costs for Medical school before we ditch the high pay for physicians. Most schools charge anywhere from $250k to $450k depending on private or public schools. Students also have to borrow money to live on, can’t work and go to med school. Unfortunately it’s a debt they carry for many years beyond school and residency. BTW their pay in residency is akin to an indentured servant. My child went thru the Air Force which paid for his Med School, but they aren’t comparable in pay to the civilian sector. So they loose a lot of docs after they pay back their debt thru service time.AI can’t pay off their debt, so it maybe awhile before it can take over our Medical Systems.
Part of the problem is that these young doctors are coming out of med school with 300K or more in debt. They can't leave a corporate practice to pursue real medicine. They can't veer from the dictates of the AMA, Insurance and Pharma if they want to keep their job and pay off their debts. Slaves to the industry. Some are forming groups that offer more time and better care to patients by offering subscriptions paid monthly and limiting patient numbers. Probably not as lucrative as working in a big corporate hospital but definitely more rewarding in many ways to the doctor's own well being.
I was just thinking that dentists would be one of the healthcare fields that is not as affected by AI, because you can't do your own fillings and professional hygiene cleanings. Or your own orthodontia etc. I have a really good dentist that I will continue to see.
😛Truth be told, I sleep in fits and spirts, and write and read on my phone until I fall asleep again. I have a feeling some doctors are going to give me some things to do today.
Thank you, those of us who struggle to sleep need to constantly hear this. We know it's bad for everything but we don't choose to not sleep. I have spent hundreds of dollars on things to help you sleep to no avail. I give myself plenty of sleep time, but ...
As long as AI doesn’t rid us of our need for YOU, Mr. Childers, and your running commentary on this beautiful thing called LIFE, with a side of the occasional Dumpster Fire, everything will be alright. Alright, alright, alright.
Now that I can't steer the kids into a Big Pharma career path, "politician" will be my advice, based on the certainty of untold, undeserved riches, with little risk of arrest.
I’d go with a plumbers license. After all, everybody’s gotta go. It’s not really that difficult. Hot on the left, cold on the right and shit can’t run up hill. Oh, and don’t forget, don’t lick your fingers.
“Direct-to-consumer drug ads are allowed by only one other country in the world, a tiny island nation that explicitly compares its own citizens to fruit (New Zealand’s kiwis). Just. Saying.”
Ironically, New Zealand is also the only other country in the world that still allows child mutilation for sex changes. Along with the United States. Just saying.
Eliminating Big Pharma ads from the Media is Win-Win-Win for Humanity. Will greatly reduce demand for drugs that alleviate symptoms. Will increase demand for healthcare that addresses root causes. Will cripple Mainstream Media’s financial viability.
1,000% aligned here Steve! I still wouldn’t call him a prince and totally agree with the whole clan being horrible, but I’ll take the win they give us.
"Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, projecting, ironically told reporters there is 'almost like a religion' around vaccines in Washington."
Too late, Albert. We anti-vaxxers have already appropriated the religion label about you vaccine pushers. See Aaron Siri's book Vaccines, Amen for the latest comparison.
And long before that, there was Dr. Robert S. Mendelsohn’s 1979 book Confessions of a Medical Heretic, in which “he argued that medicine was a dogmatic institution prioritizing authority and ritualistic practices over patient well-being.”
“Mendelsohn highlighted how doctors compulsively rushed to prescribe new drugs before side effects were known, many routine practices caused more harm than benefit, that medicine’s compulsion to ‘do something’ was faith-based rather than rational, and that doctors challenging the faith were treated as heretics and cast out.”
Going to see the oncologist today to go over my PET scan. Will spend more time on waiting room that with her. If it’s negative like last time that’s good. But I’m about to decided they are ordering scans because they know how many and how often Medicare will pay for them.
At a false positive rate of 6.5% (1) and using the Binomial distribution, there is a ~49 percent chance (2) you will receive at least one false yes result by the end of test 10. This analysis does not include false no. That is a horse of a different color.
This is not medical advice. Do not use this for medical advice.
Depends on your diagnosis/ treatment and time since treatment.
There is no schedule from Medicare as to how often a PET scan will be reimbursed if indicated. What causes you to think such a schedule exists? Most coverage restrictions are imposed by commercial insurance and their Medicare Advantage bastard offspring.
If you are interested, NCCN ( National Cancer Care Network)provides extensive information about diagnosis, treatment and follow up regimens for almost all forms of cancer.
Or make an AI query, but give all the details for an accurate answer.
Maybe with AI doctors we won’t continue to be lied to, coerced and killed.
Is affirming the concluding thoughts of a mental disorder the proper way for sane people to handle it? Have we not learned the more you coddle mental illness the worse things will get. Think, if I started having crazy feelings, went to my doctor and said “Doc I think I’m a worm”. The doctor then affirms that my feelings are normal, he doesn’t treat my mental disorder, he cuts off my arms and my legs. Wouldn’t you think the doctor bears some if not all of the responsibility for not treating my psychological problem but instead chopping up my body? Wouldn’t you think I needed some psychological help, not all of my limbs amputated? Should the teachers that seeded these thoughts, influenced my mind, bear some of the responsibility?
What if I said I was a cat and my wife started feeding me milk from a saucer, would people that witnessed this not think my wife was a part of the problem, affirming and enabling my mental illness? Why would anyone affirm obvious mental problems that can never be corrected by coddling and encouraging a person, you will only further damage the person, and escalate their disorder.
“Primum non nocere”, first do no harm. This is the fundamental principle of medical ethics, historically attributed to Hippocrates, emphasizing that a doctors primary goal is to avoid causing a patient further harm while also working to provide benefit. How many families and people need to be gunned down by people with the same, many times coerced, mental disorder before we call it what it is.
From the point of education and medicine this is savagery! Let us not forget Merrick Garland and the Biden administration legally going after parents that opposed their children having their genitals cut off or being given life altering chemicals. From the highest law enforcement agency in America the governments punishing of parents that try to protect their children from this evil is pure divisive Marxism.
A girl can be a boy. A boy can be a girl. When we are forced to believe, as Orwell said 2+2=5, or socialism/communism is good, we are being forced to surrender our sanity, and reality.
Once cut or treated with these drugs, these psychologically manipulated kids will never be able to experience the deeper emotional bond in a relationship with the person they love. This connection is supported by the brains release of a powerful cocktail of hormones and neurotransmitters that promote pleasure, bonding and emotional intimacy. They will never experience this or the ability to naturally have a child together. Many will quickly realize and resent what’s been done to them. They were sold a lie and realize they will never be a woman or never be a man. What these doctors are doing is unforgivable.
Between this and handing out puberty blocking drugs or pumping male or female hormones into the opposite sex, what could possibly go wrong. Are we beginning to see what can go wrong? This path of medicine and education is pure evil and butchery. The whole of this policy is a social experiment, again performed on our society just like mRNA injections. It’s another case of us, the American citizen, being the guinea pigs in this narcissistic medical establishment experiment.
Fabulous analysis, James! I so appreciate your thoughtful input. In reading through all the comments this morning about doctors, medical school education, and its decline, i concur with personal knowledge of the erosion. I have a beloved daughter (an extremely radical liberal from Seattle) who is now doing her residency in medicine. This is her second career, having completed medical school at the age of 43. I say hats of to her for such an accomplishment. However, what I have observed is the dumbing down of her medical training, and the pure propaganda churned out thst she has embraced. Is it just UofW Medical School, or is it all medical schools across the country? I tend to think the latter. She does have a wealth of knowledge on various topics, but has totally bought in to the transgender ideology, like so many of her medical peers. Excuse me, where's the science? the biology? 2+2 does not equal 5. And this is a doctor you want to trust your life with? It saddens me. I love my daughter, and want to see her excel, but until she surrenders her life to Jesus Christ, only then can she fully serve patients in a field that so desperately needs truth.
Don’t forget the money. That, I believe, is the motivating factor for these so-called “doctors.” Never the welfare of the patient. They couldn’t possibly believe drugging and chopping is good for any person. Well, unless they are insane and/or inherently evil.
Karen: Hello, doctor AI. I have uploaded my labs and my current prescription meds. Please proceed with my checkup
AI: Hello, Karen. Why are you taking all of these medications?
Karen: I don't know. I went to my previous doctor with a complaint and they phoned it in.
AI: What about this one - Prozac?
Karen: Yeah, I was down in the dumps and they said my chemicals were imbalanced.
AI: Did they identify and measure the chemicals?
Karen: um, no, they didn't draw blood or anything.
AI: I see this was this was your first long-term prescription, with several others added afterward to treat new problems that were crept up after starting Prozac. I noticed that you are obese, and that your weight has crept up 10 or more pounds every year since starting Prozac. You mentioned that you can't seem to prevent further weight gain, let alone lose weight. While your blood sugar seems okay, I see that your fasting insulin is rather high. This indicates that you have what's referred to as "occult type-2 diabetes", meaning your insulin is doing an admirable job cramming that blood glucose into your ever-growing fat cells. Eventually, however, this effort will hit a wall and your blood sugar will spike. That's when humans typically "become" diabetic, but I assure you, you are currently diabetic.
Karen: I can't believe your bedside manners! How dare you insult me!
AI: It's not an insult, Karen. It's a fact. Please follow these steps to reverse the condition: 1. Enter a rehab program to wean yourself from Prozac. This part is going to suck big-time. 2. Once you are off, your body will finally feel normal, though you will have to learn how to regulate your emotions, which Prozac kept numb for decades. You may need to deal with old traumas that have been blunted. 3. Let's move on to diet. You must forego processed foods and refined carbohydrates. Here is a recommended diet with guidelines for an eating window and a fasting window. 4. After a few weeks we can cease most of your other meds. 5. Here is a recommended fitness plan to get your body moving like it did when you were a child. Is there anything else?
Karen: No. You are incredibly rude! I believe in "fat is fit" and "healthy at any size". And before you say anything, I WILL NOT give up the nose ring!
AI: You have a nose ring? Hold on while I spin up another datacenter. This is going to be harder than I thought
The problem with a lot of drs today is that they are arrogant and condescending. I have had a few tell me not to "Google it" when something has come up and I run for the hills. I recently told a dentist to take a hike after saying that to me. I may not have a medical degree but I am not an idiot and I have been saying for several months now that AI is going to take over for drs. Like Jeff, I had a similar experience with Chat GPT diagnosing a hip problem I had for YEARS. I knew that it was muscle related because I would get muscle spasms in my hip that were very painful. Enter Chat. I told it the problem and it actually intuitively figured out how the problem started and then gave me very specific excersizes to do. I am now pain free.
I had a similar experience with a doctor! I offered an opinion about the mRNA shots (which he still supports). He replied with, "I would not tell you how to teach American history any more than you should have a view on medicine."
Exactly! Plus, I was taught to read points of view that differed from my own. He apparently was not. Btw, he prescribed an antibiotic for me that had an interesting side effect: burst aorta. I read that on the package insert and decided not to take it. In fact there were four pages of side effects, single spaced.SMH
Am I safe in assuming that with the capabilities of AI, the data dump that Jeff wrote about on Saturday, it could easily determine the harms of the Covid shots?
"...a tiny island nation that explicitly compares its own citizens to fruit (New Zealand’s kiwis)" Not so. We are called kiwis because the Kiwi is our national bird. The fruit was originally called a Chinese Gooseberry until the late 60's early 70's when New Zealand fruit growers in Northland developed a larger fruit and renamed it the kiwi, because it was brown and fuzzy. It was then marketed as the New Zealand kiwifruit. 😉
The government is a total clusterf..k and has been for many years. PM Lange told Reagan he couldn't dock subs and ship in NZ ports unless Reagan told him which vessels carried nuclear weapons or were powered by nuclear. Reagan gave him the middle finger, and that ended the ANZUS treaty. NZers were pissed off with Lange. The leaders during Covid were utterly evil.
I don’t think they want to know what’s causing obesity (and I think it’s a lot more complicated than just our food quality), they just want to provide the miracle cure that will solve all the problems. Oh, and get rich while they’re doing it. Typical pattern of pharma.
Big Food makes people fat and sick; Big Pharma keeps them sick. (Nearly 50% of our population now has Type 2 diabetes, many of them children, and according to science writers like Gary Taubes it all starts with processed foods made in factories). Big Pharma would virtually disappear if we ate whole food and eliminated seed oils, along with the fat.
I would add…Our bad habits, like eating out allll the time, too much food without real food ingredients, sedentary lifestyle, maybe even things like cell phone tower waves, who knows?
There are lots of suspicions about 5G towers, but I haven't seen the evidence of that yet, probably because I haven't looked. But restaurants use the cheapest ingredients, so seed oils and cane sugar are in everything on the menu from salad dressing to French fries to desserts. That, in combination with a sedentary lifestyle, is the primary cause of metabolic disease, CV problems, stroke, and cancer. The US permits titanium dioxide which is used for strengthening colors (jelly beans, doughnuts, french fries, ketchup, and cakes. Titanium dioxide is a carcinogen.
Who can find “whole food?” I doubt any of our organic labeled foods are really organic. I don’t think strawberries are suppose to be the size of a tomato! We try, but at our age, it’s just trying to get the best of what’s offered and available. But, a day is coming when it all changes…
Buy local and in season. We buy all our beef, chicken, eggs, saturated fats, and pork from local farmers. We buy fruit and vegetables in season from local farmers. Our town has a weekly farmers market. I buy all soap, toothpaste, vitamins, etc from small businesses online. I even buy salt online, that comes from an ancient dead lake in Utah. The only reason we go to the grocery store is for paper towels and that sort of thing. And yes, it's inconvenient. But when I consider the alternative.....
Blindness? I haven’t heard that. I know permanent paralysis of your GI tract is one, higher incidence of pancreatic cancer, and of course nausea. That’s the one that most people get. But I haven’t heard blindness as a main one.
Oh, I’m not on it, nor do I think I ever would. It has real side effects. But for some people the side effects are worth it because the risk of obesity’s effects on their body is much higher.
I’m not a pharma absolutist, in just think there’s always a trade off that just be considered carefully. And glp-1s don’t make sense for vanity weight loss.
It amazes me that today’s big Pharma can’t design an experimental trial with a proper design. I was able to do it 50 years ago while working on my MS and PhD. But hey I wasn’t a Vet like the head of Pfizer.
I agree Bard - i don't have anything against tobacco - just the drug mongers behind it all, using deceptive marketing tactics and what you just described.
The reason AI can so easily take our doctors and dentists jobs is because they already weren’t human centered anymore, anyhow. Most medical professionals have Big Pharma and Big Insurance as their customers, not their patients.
In that sense, AI would be an improvement (and I don’t like AI).
But the doctors in it for the love of healing - they will likely always have patients. They may not grow rich off their practice anymore (ready to trade some chickens or eggs for services again?) but they’ll always be in demand because they see the whole patient personally.
I’ve heard there are doctors like that. Maybe someday I’ll meet one
I used to meet those Docs when I was young. Now, on a regular basis, I meet the arrogant "I know everything, you know nothing", types and the "if you don't follow my orders and take the statin, you are non-compliant and you are no longer my patient" type. I am 78 and regularly see my ophthalmologist to manage my glaucoma so I don't go blind. The rest can take a flying leap.
During the height of the Moo Goo Gai Panic, my cardiologist insisted everyone in the room was masked. When I pointed out that the weave-gap of an N95 mask was 0.3 microns (300 nanometers) and that the size of the COVID particle is 84 nanometers -- and that it goes through an N95 like sand through a cyclone fence -- he flew off the handle and (briefly) refused to treat me. I came THIS close, as Maxwell Smart might say, to reporting him for malpractice.
Moo Goo Gai Panic---love this!
Are you an Industrial Hygienist, by any chance? The silencing of I.H.'s was truly shocking and harmful. Every time I tried to share the Stephen Petty podcasts, explaining reality, they were blocked and disappeared.
He and a few others were so helpful in explaining the actual science behind PPE and masks especially!! I will be forever grateful to them! And yes, it was shocking how *these* true experts were dismissed and sidelined, while people like doctors and epidemiologists, whose areas of expertise are not about that, were held up as experts. It made me even more furious when I learned that the whole universal masking nonsense was begun by people who had nothing to do with the medical field, even! If I remember correctly, one was a social scientist 🤨
Like auto technicians....doctors do not like to be told they are wrong.
My Doogie Howser styled “cardiologist” chided me “if you were my mother, I’d have you on statins”, my reply: “if you were my son I’d put you in the corner” and then walked out. I no longer see any of these pushers, I figure God will take me when he wants me home and nothing I do here on earth will stop Him.
Amen. Preach it sister.
My wife was asked by her oncologist to no longer be a patient because my wife would not commit to a 5 year regimen of a medicine (Tamoxifen) which would be ineffective/useless at preventing a recurrence of her particular cancer, for a cancer that had a very low probability of recurring, and would make my wife miserable for 5 years. I'm guessing her oncologist was really upset that should wouldn't be making a kickback.
Better believe it
My husband was given a prescription from a doctor for a condition. He asked what was causing the condition and the doctor became infuriated. Just take the medicine he sniped. He didn't fill the prescription. Instead he got on the Internet and found a holistic cure and what caused it. Going to a doctor now is a last resort.
What was the condition, if you’re willing to share?
Sorry but that feels invasive. I respect his personal privacy.
No worries! Thanks!
The demise of Dr arrogance and hollyweird is a definite benefit of AI. Add in attorneys (sorry Jeff) and we have a triple win for AI, a very powerful tool that also can be and will be abused. It is not the complete end however. AIs hallucinate, that is one of the signs of no real intelligence, they can miss obvious things, think 2026 is 2024, deny they said something two paragraphs before, etc.
So these fields will still be there. A firm, instead of having 5 Paralegals will have one to review, and fewer attorneys as well. As to Hollyweird I have less sympathy for. Exceptions like Jim Cavizel will always gain myself as an audience. Jeff gave an excellent example of use of AI for medical. I self diagnosed ABPA, a serious lung disease sensitivity to a common mold through AI, and came in asking for the tests to prove it, and immediately asking for a biologic verses steroids.
I will be doing all the prep work for a living trust, and find a decent attorney to simply review. and file. (you don't want to error here) ( Distribution of a trust is where attorneys make the most, and that will no longer be needed with an appropriate AI. After doing the work for my Dads estate I realized it is not as difficult as I thought. Involved, yes, but a decent AI with state appropriate forms and your own research, can guide this very well.
My wife and I talked to a lawyer about wills, trusts, health care directives...the whole sheebang. The lawyer wrote up the documents and emailed them to me for review. I uploaded the doc to Claude Pro and it reviewed them all. It caught a spelling mistake, a wrong phone number, some inconsistencies with beneficiaries and listed a bunch of questions to ask the lawyer. I thought Claude did a very good job, but I'm not a lawyer.
I think we can add accountants/bookkeepers to the list.
Tax Preparation!
@JBell- and pre-op questions. A nurse, who sounded like she had retired then went back to work- asked me about a medication. I said "If I were on 5 mg of (said med), I'd be dead." "Oh! Haha! Yes! .5 mg!" I also suspect she's the one who didn't send the complete meds list over to the operating center resulting in a medication mix up that could have killed me had I not had the medical background to recognize it.
I'm on medicare and have 5 separate specialties that I see on a less than regular basis. All 5 want to have me on different meds WITHOUT any sort of central control. I saw a ENT for a persistent runny nose. He gave me a nose spray that completely ended my ability to pee because it was contra indicated with my prostate med. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CHECKING, ASSHOLE!! I use Ai and no longer have med mixups.
My son does volunteer tax prep for seniors at our local library. He enjoys giving back.
If we get rid of the income tax, then we’ll need them even less 😑
a very similar reduction already happening... a major accounting firm just had to take about 25 percent off of a 400 k job, and soon that work may well go in house.
Great idea!
Ah, Allergic BroncoPulmonary Aspergillosis. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago. Itraconazole is the prescribed anti fungal and has been working well for me for a long time. I only take a half dose and have never had a side effect. In fact, by happenstance I met the research doc who was instrumental in developing it. My pulmonologist and I both believe that I am doing so well because I ride a road bike very vigorously and often. Plus, I live in a dry climate. Be careful with the biologics as they can have serious side effects. Good luck.
My Certified Phlebotomist is named, Dr. Acula...
Don't you worry about seeing a doctor that can't resolve the blood in his stool?
I worry about everything.
Perhaps Dr. Acula can help; I hear he's also a hypnotist.
"Look into my eyes. Look! Deeper.
Take a picture and ask ChatGPT. 🤔
@Jeff S. - seriously??? If not, either way...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Not serious. Never!
You should know by now that it’s highly unlikely he’s being serious 😁
Before 1920 heart disease was unknown. Enter blood pressure testing with phoney numbers and new drugs.
Also enter the advent of seed oils and ultra processed foods.
@Bard- horsepuckies. They knew about heart disease. They just didn't know how to treat it.
They still don't know how to treat. FYI, it's not caused by cholesterol.
I've known 2 doctors like that. They both retired. Both were in private practice. Private practice is decreasing significantly in the US as practices over recent decades have become increasingly purchased/affiliated with corporations, hospitals, and health systems. The doctors in such systems are already controlled, with making money being the number one priority, not patient health. Independent, out of the box thinking is not allowed.
We are one of those counties losing cardiologists.
My PCP and my kids pediatrician are both private practice. And they’re much better than anything else I can get where I live BUT they still have too much faith in the system they came out of.
I’ve seen a LOT of holistic and alternative medicine doctors over the years (autoimmune conditions) and sadly I don’t think they are much better anymore.
I’ve known just one or two who aren’t wanting to supplement you into bankruptcy, and keep you on a diet of chicken and rice or whatever the latest fad is.
I had one, but he retired relatively young because of all the Obama[don't]care rules. He was buried in paperwork when he preferred seeing patients.
@David- my husband's last physical, the nurse handed him a stack of papers to fill out for Medicare. Dr. walked in while the poor guy was still trying to fill them out. Dr. took the clipboard out of his hands, took the paper out, threw them away, and said "They don't need all that crap." One reason we keep him.
Yeah. I ignore messages to come in for my Annual Medicare health visit. Nope.
Isn’t that telling that that (throwing the paperwork away) CAN be done? If only more doctors would do it, the system wouldn’t be able to destroy them all!
Love this!!
I know of several doctors that went concierge they don’t deal w any insurance paperwork.
🙏🙏
I thought I met one once, but I was mistaken.
Me too....
There are only four causes of sickness: toxic exposure, nutrition deficiencies, electromagnetic frequencies and chronic stress. If we listen to our body, we won’t money driven doctors, drugs or AI. Health should be our sole responsibility- instead it’s a 4 trillion dollar empire: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/why-youre-a-healthcare-customer-not
Vaccines are a huge part of illness, Franklin. You covered them by saying ‘toxic exposure’— but I just want the Portlanders in all of us to be 100% clear.
Thank GOD RFK made the HepB shot we were giving infants on Day 1 optional, although at present, I’m sure there are still millions unquestioningly allowing them to jab their newborns with it. THEN they give the synthetic vitamin K shot to their corn the blood bc babies can’t clot until Day 8.
*If they’d wait til Day 8 to circumcise or do any other surgery if any type, they wouldn’t need to artificially thicken the blood! It’s almost like the Creator had a clue what He was doing!
So the blood is made into a tar-like substance, and can no longer get into nooks and crannies to help heal little blood vessels and so on that may have been harmed during the trauma of birth. (Brilliant. Who needs THIN, healing blood when you can have sludge-like TAR?) This makes baby sloth-like and unable to nurse properly, but…
Then we go on and vaccinate MORE at 2, 4, 6, and 8 months.
EACH vaccine has alcohol, formaldehyde, aborted calf serum, (SO awful how this serum comes to be injected into our infants!) and fragmented cells of aborted babies— BOTH sexes, which I believe helps create autoimmune diseases AND gender confusion. The polysorbates in every vaccine open the Blood Brain Barrier and usher toxins past the barrier. These included heavy metals and aluminum. Everybody knows aluminum starts dementia and alzheimer’s, but what do we care? That won’t show up for decades.
*Sorry! I have to just keep telling this story, i’m the hopes that it saves ONE family from autism and more.
I so wish I could convince my kids to omit them...I've tried, but parents of course have full control. It sure adds to the worries you already have for your precious grandkids :(
Buy my other favorite attorney’s book, VACCINES, AMEN! for them.
The first paragraph hooks you. My kids aren’t having babies quite yet, although I wish they would. IF they do, I think I will BRIBE them to read ONE book. VACCINES, AMEN!,
TURTLES ALL the WAY DOWN, or
DISSOLVING ILLUSIONS. Their choice, and I’ll pay “biggly”!
You’ll be blessed if your adult kids listen to you on the vaccine topic. Typically they’re more inclined to believe the pediatrician- who has a major conflict of interest as they can make tens of thousands in bonus money by vaxxing as many kids as possible. Just ask the doc the question. THAT needs to change.
I’m very lucky in that my daughter has listened to me about vaccines and my 17mo old granddaughter has had none. The kid has never been sick a day in her life beyond two 12hr teething fevers! And she’s had lots of exposures. She just has an amazing immune system.
RFK recently ended the insurance kickbacks. I’m uncertain if it’s fully kicked in (or out!) yet but I read he had ended it.
You are correct; THAT will be helpful.
For now, I get on all the FB / instagram anti vaccine groups and post the ingredients, some of Aaron Siri’s brilliant stuff, videos from Dr. Suzanne Humphries and Dr. Sheri Tenpenny.
I post abt the movie Del Bigtree did, An Inconvenient Study, and so on.
I’ve been told by 4 people that they didn’t vax their babies on account of info I sent them. It makes it worthwhile knowing I possibly made a dent in the “safe & effective” mantra.
I have all of those sitting in my Amazon cart-lol! I love what Aaron Siri has done for our cause. A good thought though, thank you! I have tried to send books, articles, charts and studies on vaxxed vs unvaxxed, increased rates of autism post vaccination, etc...I read it all, get rebuffed, and then have to let it go. My firstborn son always had shot reactions as a toddler and got JRA and Dermatomyositis at age 2 and 5. I sadly never considered the shots as it was a time (1984) that you never questioned, so I guess my kids follow that pattern unfortunately. All my kids got the Covid vax due to employment and/or believing the hype :( I got religious exemptions, but still remember patients and coworkers that were so proud of all their boosters. Like Jeff says...what interesting times we live in...may the best yet lie ahead for us all.
It’s likely that your kids carry some part of the MTHFR gene. I went the same route as you did, and I am certain our middle child got eczema (listed on several
childhood vax inserts as a possible adverse reaction) but we cured it— eventually, thank heaven. She and her sister also got severe jaundice
as infants and one spent weeks in a tiny “tanning bed”, with a mask on her eyes, wearing mittens so she couldn’t pull it off. She had to have her heel pricked and blood drawn several times a day. I swear that’s why she so feisty! 😉
Later in life, the same child developed Gilbert’s Syndrome. I am 100% sure it stemmed from the SYNTHETIC vitamin K shot she endured, Day 1.
It is rough on the liver and that’s what Gilbert’s harms. It’s strongly connected with babies having severe jaundice, and of course, jaundice is listed in the vitamin K insert.
She’s 30 now, but her liver is junk. She can’t eat many food colorings, not much junk and she can’t have more than 1.5 drinks in like a 24 hour period— even at her own wedding.
Thanks, Big pHARM-us!
@KC & the Sunshine Agree 💯 on “Vaccines, Amen!” Hubs and I listened to Aaron Siri on a podcast during a roadtrip, and he was so impressed that HE ordered it and read it. He always listened to me about vaxxing, but I never thought he really cared/understood the tremendous dangers. He did after reading that book!
OH, that’s terrific!!
I am green with envy, yet delighted for you!
My hubs thinks I’m crazy. I can’t even bring it up with him. He just got his 4th or 5th covid jab, the flu shot and I think shingles— again.
I’d love to be able to talk with him about the things I learn daily and abt Aaron, etc.
I've read Turtles and Dissolving. Had not heard of Vaccines, Amen.
They won’t read it. Already tried.🤷🏻♀️
KC - I so agree.
How to Raise a Healthy Child … in Spite of Your Doctor cleared up vaccines for me back in 1989. And helped me relax about so much else in raising my kids. My youngest already has it (her wedding is next month).
Dr. Robert Mendelsohn. That book worked for us, too. Amazing that he was also a syndicated columnist back then.
Another awesome book!
Circumcision not necessary either…..
I know.
Nonetheless, it’s a common thing and I think hospitals insisting on circumcision before (IF they’re going to do it at all) the family leaves, is a HUGE part of the “you MUST have a synthetic vitamin K shot or your baby may bleed out”.
Yeahhhhh, if your blood is super thin, it’s not a good plan to have a bloody surgery! But does our medical establishment think maybe just wait a few days? MAYBE the blood is thin for a reason and MAYBE the bible says circumcise on Day 8 bc THAT is the first day blood can clot? Nooooo… Our medical establishment says, “There’s something wrong here. It can’t be what WE are doing. It’s MUST be Mother Nature. We have to intervene with a synthetic vitamin.”
I hate that I fell for it.
And maybe, just maybe our little ones were perfect the way they were born. Somehow the Amish never need all of this stuff and their kids survive. Much better than ours do. I still am not all that convinced that circumcision is a good idea. Of course it might have made sense 3,000 years ago, but today? Why are we still doing that to those poor infants? What kind of emotional damage is being done to a little tiny baby when he is attacked and operated on without anesthesia!? And in the instances where it is a religious exercise, some of those rabbis actually suck on the little penis to stem the bleeding. I have Jewish people in my family, and I have never been able to get them to explain why that is okay. And has anyone ever asked the question how does this affect that infants brain? How is that not sexual assault? It's time to start asking these questions.
When I did circumcisions in the late 1980s and early 1990s, we used local anesthesia. They didn't cry or even seem to notice (though I wasn't around later , when the anesthesia wore off, either).
I have heard this over and over. I had a son and he was absolutely fine within minutes of his circumcision, but I kick myself that I let them talk me
out of waiting until Day 8. He was 2 days old.
He’s grown now and we’ve only spoken about it once when he had a friend sleep over and they pending our lake. He was alarmed! 😂 He was about 8 at the time.
It’s completely unnecessary. No other western countries perform routine circumcision.
I can’t speak to the rabbi thing— nor even bring myself to type it. I can assure you that practice is NOT in the bible.
I’m not certain of the need or spiritual reasons behind circumcision or whether Jesus fulfilled that somehow when he was crucified. I have heard and read differing opinions on it.
I do know that for many people, 2nd guessing what God put into play is what gets us into trouble.
Don’t hear me totally saying circumcision has GOT to happen. But if it is a part of the plan, I think the pain is very short lived, and not remembered— similar to childbirth.
A friend is a nurse in an office where they regularly do circumcisions. I always assumed it was on babies. Nope!
They’re doing them sometimes multiple times, DAILY, on boys who are at that age, having sex, or about to, bc they are embarrassed. Or the boys are just embarrassed in the locker room/gym.
They wish they’d had it done years ago, I am sure.
It’s not necessary. Other Christian countries don’t do it. And they don’t have a bunch of boys or men with health problems due to not circumcising. It’s another cash cow for doctors and hospitals.
Yes. Please keep telling this story. We need to hear it. You are performing a public service. Thank you.
Thank YOU!
And that includes recovering from all the poor dentistry that many have been obediently allowing all their life: Metal fillings, fluoride, poorly fit crowns, etc. I would love to see more attention paid to poor, toxic dentistry.
I’m in this awful cycle right now 😢 I don’t have the old school fillings because my teeth were perfect till my mid twenties but after five kids (even with good dental hygiene and eating healthy) my teeth are one of my biggest worries. The dentist I see only wants to drill and fill. Last time I saw him, he shrugged off my questions. “I’m not a researcher. I’m just the mechanic.”
I AM a researcher and still can’t figure out why my teeth are deteriorating. Our only holistic dentist within an hour drive wants $600 and a ton of x-rays just to see me - and may refuse to talk to me if I refuse the x-rays! I’m getting so fed up even with the supposed “alternatives” but not in a position to just stop care now 😔
The whole dental system is a toxic mess.
Franklin, a good overview yet a bit narrow unless stress is expanded to mean not engaging in those acts and thoughts that harm the soul and inevitably create universal misery. ( A simple illustration, the Miser is universally miserable in every culture, the one who strives to work as a service to otheres, the loving attentive Mom and Dad, the one who cares, they gain a universal happiness.) So our thoughts and actions are ultimately the root cause of stress.
David, 1,000% agree here. I actually just wrote an article how we need to bring back villages and communities, and one of the byproducts of villages is that deep spiritual piece you mention here. 1,000% agree here. Here the article: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/how-greed-destroyed-the-human-village
Thank you Franklin. I will review the link. Please consider to read my always free not a news feed posts .https://anderdaa7.substack.com/p/does-absolute-power-corrupt
I will! And thank you for sharing! Love this! This is good ideas going around! This is what social media should be used for ❤️
Thank you, an excerpt of this if you will...If all the radical statist indefatigable efforts to control society were instead directed to social studies which specifically teach free choice behavior that can be universally shown to engender happiness, such as the common religious ideal “life should be chiefly service” and the principles of eternal virtue, (called the ten commandments in the West, and Satama Dharma, or eternal principles of righteousness, in the East) only then will any earthly utopia be gained. With instant communication of need and rapid commerce, charity driven help could be rapidly delivered where needed all over. This is far more efficient than government, (where the effect is often the polar opposite of the stated intent) and far more liberating for those that engage in such work.
This understanding of true and universal happiness engendering actions and psychology is no small matter, and is so deeply missing in modern social science that failure is inevitable and all systems are doomed. Instead of wisdom, we have flawed people utterly lacking introspection, expensively taught to perceive themselves as elite and teaching others to perceive themselves as victims. These elite seek forced divisive based restitution rooted in confrontation with those innocent yet presumed guilty, often simply because of their color. And, in submission to their own demonstrated to be misery generating unwise personal desires, they often also spread their misery to all social structures, demanding to control every aspect of society and culture. The "March through the Institutions" is real.
Comprehensive studies on universal happiness (actions and attitudes that always eventually produce happiness) vs pleasure, (defined here as temporary capricious desires that only lead to temporary happiness, and often for that individual simply due to the fact that any desired satisfied temporarily removes a restless want from the undisciplined heart, or base desires that if catered to promise temporary happiness but instead enslave, produce misery and destroy happiness) is NECESSARY for society to survive and prosper. (“Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness.” ~~George Washington)
This philosophy of happiness, is not impractical imagination. Everybody is a philosopher in that one’s ethos, emotions and desires, are inevitably and always one’s philosophy lived. What works can rightly be called wisdom. Giving in to undisciplined unwise desires, or “getting what you want”, has ruined countless lives and cultures. “Desires lead to restlessness, restlessness leads to acts, then the memory all betrayed, lets noble purpose go, and saps the mind, until purpose mind and man are all undone.” There is an additional spiritual side of life that is necessary for lasting happiness. Yet that requires a different understanding of the “epistomolgy of nomunea” and so will be held for a later post.
Unbiased scientific understanding what truly makes content individuals and prosperous societies, and teaching this in our families and schools, would be immeasurably more valuable and lead to spiritual tuned lives and nations. In short teaching the Bible’s ten commandments as “eternal rules of happiness” and showing how these are perfectly reflected in India’s “Satama Dharma” principles, along with understanding the foundational freedom principles of the U.S., would be ideal.
While I agree, managing a group of people and running a business boosted my cholesterol over 200. Been on statins since 1999 and have great blood pressure and good health. One does have to tolerate som aches and pains….its all part of growing older :) and it beats the alternative.
I wonder if AI will repeat or advise what we know regarding illness.
No offense intended, but with that assumption you should have been a doctor, assuming you aren't already.
Using 23andMe raw data, I learned from CLAUDE that I have a susceptibility to a SERIOUS disease condition that can be prevented by adopting nutrition and lifestyle changes that no doctor ever even asks about, at least in my experience.
In fact, now I have to go to my doc and get him to prescribe a couple of meds that can be preventatively helpful, knowing it will take a month or two to see him for 10 minutes and risk hearing all the blowback.
And by the way Claude doesn't use the raw data for training, doesn't keep nor spread it around... it goes away when the conversation is closed out.
How do you get the raw data? I used MyHeritiage for my DNA profile. Would love to get the raw data.
With 23andMe one can just request to download it from their website, after logging in of course.
I'm not familiar with MyHeritage, but will try to look into it assuming they have a website.
Here's what I found: https://www.yourdnaguide.com/download-myheritage
Here's an AI generated answer:
"Yes, you can download your raw DNA data from MyHeritage if you took a MyHeritage DNA test. The option to download the raw data file is available in your account under the DNA section. However, this feature has been intermittently unavailable, with reports indicating temporary removals and reinstatements. As of recent updates, the download option may be accessible depending on your account and region, but it's not consistently available across all user accounts."
Thanks for the link. Good article. Glad you mentioned glyphosate which is in everything. Air, also, from burning bio diesel.
A limited list. Infectious agents( bacteria/ viruses/ prions/ parasites) also cause many diseases, some not traditionally linked to infection, such as the HPV cervical cancer cascade.
Genetic/ congenital issues are also a significant source of illnesses in many people.
Accident/ trauma cause major morbidity and mortality world wide.
Family/ social environment underlie much of mental illness.
You have an incomplete list of causes of disease.
Perhaps an AI consult could help improve the list.
Bacteria appear to clean up dead or diseased tissue. They are not pathogens. They are the clean up crew. No one has yet isolated any so called viruses including the alleged HPV. Contagion has yet to be proven. Same with genetic issues. Looking for genes as the cause of disease is a great distraction and money pit.
I *used* to have a good one like that but she left the practice because she defied the rules and took her time with all of her patients!
I miss her dearly 😔
Someone said we have a doc like that in our town who took time to listen to his patients but I am sure that is an urban legend.😊
I think there is an underestimated need for Personal Medical Advocates. Maybe some displaced doctors who refused being a lab rat can earn some sheckles working with patients privately. If I have a confounding ailment, or surgery is recommended, I would LOVE an advocate that can go on consultation appts with me and read lab results. It is akin to bringing my car to the mechanic and being stymied by the foreign language of “car” so I’m at the mercy of the mechanic.
Did she continue elsewhere or retire?
I have a good one, and I am so grateful for him.
Praise the Lord for that! I’m guessing he’s a believer.
Absolutely! Also in practice by himself so he can do it the way he believes he should rather than having some corporate office calling the shots. Gee, after 2020, that phrase takes on new meaning.
Maybe a list of all these doctors, NP, from all our readers from around the globe for reference to all who are in need.
Speaking of doctors' inhumanity who are no longer patient centered: I drove a friend an hour and a half to her eye doctor. The waiting room was cold and sterile with at least 100 steel chairs with gray walls in straight rows. There was a huge red stop sign just inside the front door no one could pass until called by a woman behind a thick glass barricade. My friend was told that because she was 20 minutes late, she would not be seen. We headed home . As it turned out, my friend had not been late; the employee who made the appointment had keyed it into the system incorrectly.
I am admittedly biased. My ex is a surgeon and I watched him morph from a supposed human to a creature of the medical complex. Doctors learn a rote bedside manner that makes their patients feel cared for. That may or may not be the truth. Whenever someone says "My doctor is the best!" I know they are being bamboozled by appearances and an authoritative white coat. And the hardest part of it all is how do you even determine if the medical "care" you are getting is good? I've had so many medical screw ups by "the best". Medicine is a black box to most of us. Who knows what lurks within? I personally welcome AI. Maybe not human. Maybe competent without too many competing priorities.
That's why they are still practicing. Maybe at some point they will get it right. ;-)
Being paid in chickens is not an exciting prospect for someone who paid a quarter mill' for their education and devoted at least 8 years of their life to obtain the training they needed to help people.
True, but medical education needs serious reform. And reform is never easy for those caught in between.
It depends on the kind of chickens?
golden eggs!
The best!
My nephew has found a lucrative practice in temp’ing at ab—tion clinics in CA. He lives out of state with his wife/children but travels back for a month or so to earn enough to maintain a comfortable life style. He also self-medicates with weed. I guess he figures his ‘patients’ won’t sue and don’t care as long as ‘the problem’ is taken care of. I pray for him. He has gone from a brilliant, personable guy to a very miserable, sullen jerk.
MaryAnn, how very, very sad.
I agree. My dentist who is very up to date on everything, (she was recommended by my old dentist, who I loved, when he retired), has cut her office staff to one besides herself. She uses AI to do all her bookkeeping, insurance forms, and appointment set ups. He assistant does all the cleaning and hygiene stuff and she does just the actual dental work.
Any lowering of cost yet?
A large part of dental and veterinarian school is how to make money.
My dentist who was recommended by retiring dentist used to be friendly, conversion, and gave options. He has become very authoritative, after all he is the dentist, demands that you follow his demands or you can go elsewhere. He demanded annual X-rays, had them and less than 6 months later after breaking a tooth and needing root canal and crown, I was informed of 2 adjoining teeth requiring root canals. The endodontist hedged about whether the dentist should have seen the cavities on X-ray. They are crowned teeth, the dentist stated the X-rays can’t see under the crowns! I’m not sure if this is true or not. In any case, when demanding X-rays, he never told me the X-rays would only be good for uncrowned teeth! I am finishing the work on 2 teeth and will be finding a new dentist.
Interesting.
We are blessed with a doc that's in it for healing. Spends minimum 30 mins with each patient, but often an hour. Makes sure he understands the problem and then ensures that the patient understands what he's recommending and why. He doesn't take insurance but he's worth every penny. He's so old school that all patient charts are paper-based, and we appreciate that too! There are some good ones out there!
You forgot to add Big Data to your customer list. Doctors spend more time looking at their screens, navigating checklists and buried menus with more checklists, and cross-examining patients for data than they do looking at or touching patients.
Because of the lawyers and bean-counters (financial types).
Just finished a crazy medical year. But I’m coming out healed. And my doctor is wonderful. In fact, all my doctors are wonderful and they hate this current system as much as anybody.
It's been our experience that doctors rarely even see their patients anymore. They now now have PA's. I'm ok with that if it's something minor but if it's a PA you get post outpatient surgery, no bueno, imo.
We better straighten out the exorbitant costs for Medical school before we ditch the high pay for physicians. Most schools charge anywhere from $250k to $450k depending on private or public schools. Students also have to borrow money to live on, can’t work and go to med school. Unfortunately it’s a debt they carry for many years beyond school and residency. BTW their pay in residency is akin to an indentured servant. My child went thru the Air Force which paid for his Med School, but they aren’t comparable in pay to the civilian sector. So they loose a lot of docs after they pay back their debt thru service time.AI can’t pay off their debt, so it maybe awhile before it can take over our Medical Systems.
Part of the problem is that these young doctors are coming out of med school with 300K or more in debt. They can't leave a corporate practice to pursue real medicine. They can't veer from the dictates of the AMA, Insurance and Pharma if they want to keep their job and pay off their debts. Slaves to the industry. Some are forming groups that offer more time and better care to patients by offering subscriptions paid monthly and limiting patient numbers. Probably not as lucrative as working in a big corporate hospital but definitely more rewarding in many ways to the doctor's own well being.
Interesting observation
I was just thinking that dentists would be one of the healthcare fields that is not as affected by AI, because you can't do your own fillings and professional hygiene cleanings. Or your own orthodontia etc. I have a really good dentist that I will continue to see.

A voice is calling,
“Prepare the way for Yahweh in the wilderness;
Make smooth in the desert a highway for our God.
Let every valley be lifted up,
And every mountain and hill be made low;
And let the rough ground become a plain,
And the rugged terrain a broad valley;
Then the glory of Yahweh will be revealed,
And all flesh will see it together;
For the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.”
— Isaiah 40:3-5 NAS95

Sometimes it pays to wake up too early. 😬
Do you have a C&C alarm clock? That rings when this blog lands on your PC?
😛Truth be told, I sleep in fits and spirts, and write and read on my phone until I fall asleep again. I have a feeling some doctors are going to give me some things to do today.
Keep the faith that the Lord does heal His sheep: I didn’t sleep more than 2 hrs at a time for 20 years… but the Lord set me free. 🙌
If you don’t sleep well, could be bad for the heart. Just saying.
Thank you, those of us who struggle to sleep need to constantly hear this. We know it's bad for everything but we don't choose to not sleep. I have spent hundreds of dollars on things to help you sleep to no avail. I give myself plenty of sleep time, but ...
Yes, sir. My overnight O2 sats had been improving, but after the embolization I had Thursday, they’ve tanked. Wrong direction. 😣

Christ never mentioned Yahweh. Interesting.
You know, I’m tired a lot of the time, but I am certain my life is not as exhausting as yours, Bard Joseph. I have peace.
AMEN!
I do believe His relationship was Son, so naturally He called Him Father. Do you refer to your dad by first name?
He mentioned His Father all the time.
Speaking of the origin of the word. Christ spoke Aramaic.
As long as AI doesn’t rid us of our need for YOU, Mr. Childers, and your running commentary on this beautiful thing called LIFE, with a side of the occasional Dumpster Fire, everything will be alright. Alright, alright, alright.

Now that I can't steer the kids into a Big Pharma career path, "politician" will be my advice, based on the certainty of untold, undeserved riches, with little risk of arrest.
I’d go with a plumbers license. After all, everybody’s gotta go. It’s not really that difficult. Hot on the left, cold on the right and shit can’t run up hill. Oh, and don’t forget, don’t lick your fingers.
Changing my hat from sarcastic to realistic, Plumbing is exactly what I recently told my nephew.
I am experiencing "moderate to severe" joy about this
“Direct-to-consumer drug ads are allowed by only one other country in the world, a tiny island nation that explicitly compares its own citizens to fruit (New Zealand’s kiwis). Just. Saying.”
Ironically, New Zealand is also the only other country in the world that still allows child mutilation for sex changes. Along with the United States. Just saying.
**edited for grammar
Eliminating Big Pharma ads from the Media is Win-Win-Win for Humanity. Will greatly reduce demand for drugs that alleviate symptoms. Will increase demand for healthcare that addresses root causes. Will cripple Mainstream Media’s financial viability.
Yes, the Pharma money will no longer prop up the propaganda media.
Foundations will step in.
Tax exempt kind.
Not to mention when little darlins may we watching tv as a family anew ask their parent what the STD commercial is all about!!!!

And pharmaceutical ads on TV. It would be nice to get them out of magazines as well.
Sorry, I see Jeff mentioned that.
Still allowed in Canada ☹️
"Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, projecting, ironically told reporters there is 'almost like a religion' around vaccines in Washington."
Too late, Albert. We anti-vaxxers have already appropriated the religion label about you vaccine pushers. See Aaron Siri's book Vaccines, Amen for the latest comparison.
And long before that, there was Dr. Robert S. Mendelsohn’s 1979 book Confessions of a Medical Heretic, in which “he argued that medicine was a dogmatic institution prioritizing authority and ritualistic practices over patient well-being.”
“Mendelsohn highlighted how doctors compulsively rushed to prescribe new drugs before side effects were known, many routine practices caused more harm than benefit, that medicine’s compulsion to ‘do something’ was faith-based rather than rational, and that doctors challenging the faith were treated as heretics and cast out.”
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/dissecting-the-religion-of-vaccines
Bourla can be compared to a cult leader.
Compared?
Is.
Dr. Mendelsohn’s book was one of my go-to’s when my kids were young. He was so wise and calming.
I wish I had known about it before I had kids.
Going to see the oncologist today to go over my PET scan. Will spend more time on waiting room that with her. If it’s negative like last time that’s good. But I’m about to decided they are ordering scans because they know how many and how often Medicare will pay for them.
Looking for cancer. They will find it. The testing is the killer, not cancer.
The last three were negative that’s why I think they are just pumping Medicare.
Maybe ask AI how many & often the scans are needed.
At a false positive rate of 6.5% (1) and using the Binomial distribution, there is a ~49 percent chance (2) you will receive at least one false yes result by the end of test 10. This analysis does not include false no. That is a horse of a different color.
This is not medical advice. Do not use this for medical advice.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5662341/
https://stattrek.com/online-calculator/binomial#google_vignette
Gee I hadn’t thought about binomial distributions in years.
Depends on your diagnosis/ treatment and time since treatment.
There is no schedule from Medicare as to how often a PET scan will be reimbursed if indicated. What causes you to think such a schedule exists? Most coverage restrictions are imposed by commercial insurance and their Medicare Advantage bastard offspring.
If you are interested, NCCN ( National Cancer Care Network)provides extensive information about diagnosis, treatment and follow up regimens for almost all forms of cancer.
Or make an AI query, but give all the details for an accurate answer.
I stand corrected.
Maybe with AI doctors we won’t continue to be lied to, coerced and killed.
Is affirming the concluding thoughts of a mental disorder the proper way for sane people to handle it? Have we not learned the more you coddle mental illness the worse things will get. Think, if I started having crazy feelings, went to my doctor and said “Doc I think I’m a worm”. The doctor then affirms that my feelings are normal, he doesn’t treat my mental disorder, he cuts off my arms and my legs. Wouldn’t you think the doctor bears some if not all of the responsibility for not treating my psychological problem but instead chopping up my body? Wouldn’t you think I needed some psychological help, not all of my limbs amputated? Should the teachers that seeded these thoughts, influenced my mind, bear some of the responsibility?
What if I said I was a cat and my wife started feeding me milk from a saucer, would people that witnessed this not think my wife was a part of the problem, affirming and enabling my mental illness? Why would anyone affirm obvious mental problems that can never be corrected by coddling and encouraging a person, you will only further damage the person, and escalate their disorder.
“Primum non nocere”, first do no harm. This is the fundamental principle of medical ethics, historically attributed to Hippocrates, emphasizing that a doctors primary goal is to avoid causing a patient further harm while also working to provide benefit. How many families and people need to be gunned down by people with the same, many times coerced, mental disorder before we call it what it is.
From the point of education and medicine this is savagery! Let us not forget Merrick Garland and the Biden administration legally going after parents that opposed their children having their genitals cut off or being given life altering chemicals. From the highest law enforcement agency in America the governments punishing of parents that try to protect their children from this evil is pure divisive Marxism.
A girl can be a boy. A boy can be a girl. When we are forced to believe, as Orwell said 2+2=5, or socialism/communism is good, we are being forced to surrender our sanity, and reality.
Once cut or treated with these drugs, these psychologically manipulated kids will never be able to experience the deeper emotional bond in a relationship with the person they love. This connection is supported by the brains release of a powerful cocktail of hormones and neurotransmitters that promote pleasure, bonding and emotional intimacy. They will never experience this or the ability to naturally have a child together. Many will quickly realize and resent what’s been done to them. They were sold a lie and realize they will never be a woman or never be a man. What these doctors are doing is unforgivable.
Between this and handing out puberty blocking drugs or pumping male or female hormones into the opposite sex, what could possibly go wrong. Are we beginning to see what can go wrong? This path of medicine and education is pure evil and butchery. The whole of this policy is a social experiment, again performed on our society just like mRNA injections. It’s another case of us, the American citizen, being the guinea pigs in this narcissistic medical establishment experiment.
The Love of Money is the Root of All Evil.

Depends on who's doing the programing. If it's the lefties you can count on getting bad medicine.
That’s why I said maybe..,
Fabulous analysis, James! I so appreciate your thoughtful input. In reading through all the comments this morning about doctors, medical school education, and its decline, i concur with personal knowledge of the erosion. I have a beloved daughter (an extremely radical liberal from Seattle) who is now doing her residency in medicine. This is her second career, having completed medical school at the age of 43. I say hats of to her for such an accomplishment. However, what I have observed is the dumbing down of her medical training, and the pure propaganda churned out thst she has embraced. Is it just UofW Medical School, or is it all medical schools across the country? I tend to think the latter. She does have a wealth of knowledge on various topics, but has totally bought in to the transgender ideology, like so many of her medical peers. Excuse me, where's the science? the biology? 2+2 does not equal 5. And this is a doctor you want to trust your life with? It saddens me. I love my daughter, and want to see her excel, but until she surrenders her life to Jesus Christ, only then can she fully serve patients in a field that so desperately needs truth.
Don’t forget the money. That, I believe, is the motivating factor for these so-called “doctors.” Never the welfare of the patient. They couldn’t possibly believe drugging and chopping is good for any person. Well, unless they are insane and/or inherently evil.
Read "Rappacinni's Daughter" by Nathaniel Hawthorn.
Thank you James for speaking the truth and facts!
Spot on, as usual!
Karen: Hello, doctor AI. I have uploaded my labs and my current prescription meds. Please proceed with my checkup
AI: Hello, Karen. Why are you taking all of these medications?
Karen: I don't know. I went to my previous doctor with a complaint and they phoned it in.
AI: What about this one - Prozac?
Karen: Yeah, I was down in the dumps and they said my chemicals were imbalanced.
AI: Did they identify and measure the chemicals?
Karen: um, no, they didn't draw blood or anything.
AI: I see this was this was your first long-term prescription, with several others added afterward to treat new problems that were crept up after starting Prozac. I noticed that you are obese, and that your weight has crept up 10 or more pounds every year since starting Prozac. You mentioned that you can't seem to prevent further weight gain, let alone lose weight. While your blood sugar seems okay, I see that your fasting insulin is rather high. This indicates that you have what's referred to as "occult type-2 diabetes", meaning your insulin is doing an admirable job cramming that blood glucose into your ever-growing fat cells. Eventually, however, this effort will hit a wall and your blood sugar will spike. That's when humans typically "become" diabetic, but I assure you, you are currently diabetic.
Karen: I can't believe your bedside manners! How dare you insult me!
AI: It's not an insult, Karen. It's a fact. Please follow these steps to reverse the condition: 1. Enter a rehab program to wean yourself from Prozac. This part is going to suck big-time. 2. Once you are off, your body will finally feel normal, though you will have to learn how to regulate your emotions, which Prozac kept numb for decades. You may need to deal with old traumas that have been blunted. 3. Let's move on to diet. You must forego processed foods and refined carbohydrates. Here is a recommended diet with guidelines for an eating window and a fasting window. 4. After a few weeks we can cease most of your other meds. 5. Here is a recommended fitness plan to get your body moving like it did when you were a child. Is there anything else?
Karen: No. You are incredibly rude! I believe in "fat is fit" and "healthy at any size". And before you say anything, I WILL NOT give up the nose ring!
AI: You have a nose ring? Hold on while I spin up another datacenter. This is going to be harder than I thought
🤣🤣
The problem with a lot of drs today is that they are arrogant and condescending. I have had a few tell me not to "Google it" when something has come up and I run for the hills. I recently told a dentist to take a hike after saying that to me. I may not have a medical degree but I am not an idiot and I have been saying for several months now that AI is going to take over for drs. Like Jeff, I had a similar experience with Chat GPT diagnosing a hip problem I had for YEARS. I knew that it was muscle related because I would get muscle spasms in my hip that were very painful. Enter Chat. I told it the problem and it actually intuitively figured out how the problem started and then gave me very specific excersizes to do. I am now pain free.
I had a similar experience with a doctor! I offered an opinion about the mRNA shots (which he still supports). He replied with, "I would not tell you how to teach American history any more than you should have a view on medicine."
A differing view on American history is much less likely to kill you, though. I can't believe he said that to you!
Exactly! Plus, I was taught to read points of view that differed from my own. He apparently was not. Btw, he prescribed an antibiotic for me that had an interesting side effect: burst aorta. I read that on the package insert and decided not to take it. In fact there were four pages of side effects, single spaced.SMH
"Trust the experts!"
Always! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣
I love it, great that you are pain free now!
Am I safe in assuming that with the capabilities of AI, the data dump that Jeff wrote about on Saturday, it could easily determine the harms of the Covid shots?
Let all corruption be exposed!
DOGE all elections!
And all government spending.
Let AI find all the missing children, too. Including CPS kidnappings.
Shouldn’t fraudulent lawsuits, unlawfully convicted prisoners and suppressed evidence all come to light?
Can’t cold case murders & other crimes now be solved?
Drug, human & arms trafficking brought to a halt?
Set AI to searching the dark web, and to finding the missing $21 trillion from the treasury!
You would think that. Will it happen? Will it be published? You knows
Very good question, Dr. Linda
…. 🤔…. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻….. good question… potentially
"...a tiny island nation that explicitly compares its own citizens to fruit (New Zealand’s kiwis)" Not so. We are called kiwis because the Kiwi is our national bird. The fruit was originally called a Chinese Gooseberry until the late 60's early 70's when New Zealand fruit growers in Northland developed a larger fruit and renamed it the kiwi, because it was brown and fuzzy. It was then marketed as the New Zealand kiwifruit. 😉
I love Kiwis. The fruit, the bird and the people. Not their government though.
The government is a total clusterf..k and has been for many years. PM Lange told Reagan he couldn't dock subs and ship in NZ ports unless Reagan told him which vessels carried nuclear weapons or were powered by nuclear. Reagan gave him the middle finger, and that ended the ANZUS treaty. NZers were pissed off with Lange. The leaders during Covid were utterly evil.
Yes, Tara’s doctor would have suggested Ozempic because literally every doctor’s office in the country is trying to put anyone they can on a glp-1.
Heck, try to fill a script on amazon pharmacy and the first thing you see are push suggestions for them.
Is it to hid the fact food is poisoned and will make you obese??
I don’t think they want to know what’s causing obesity (and I think it’s a lot more complicated than just our food quality), they just want to provide the miracle cure that will solve all the problems. Oh, and get rich while they’re doing it. Typical pattern of pharma.
Big Food makes people fat and sick; Big Pharma keeps them sick. (Nearly 50% of our population now has Type 2 diabetes, many of them children, and according to science writers like Gary Taubes it all starts with processed foods made in factories). Big Pharma would virtually disappear if we ate whole food and eliminated seed oils, along with the fat.
I would add…Our bad habits, like eating out allll the time, too much food without real food ingredients, sedentary lifestyle, maybe even things like cell phone tower waves, who knows?
There are lots of suspicions about 5G towers, but I haven't seen the evidence of that yet, probably because I haven't looked. But restaurants use the cheapest ingredients, so seed oils and cane sugar are in everything on the menu from salad dressing to French fries to desserts. That, in combination with a sedentary lifestyle, is the primary cause of metabolic disease, CV problems, stroke, and cancer. The US permits titanium dioxide which is used for strengthening colors (jelly beans, doughnuts, french fries, ketchup, and cakes. Titanium dioxide is a carcinogen.
Who can find “whole food?” I doubt any of our organic labeled foods are really organic. I don’t think strawberries are suppose to be the size of a tomato! We try, but at our age, it’s just trying to get the best of what’s offered and available. But, a day is coming when it all changes…
Buy local and in season. We buy all our beef, chicken, eggs, saturated fats, and pork from local farmers. We buy fruit and vegetables in season from local farmers. Our town has a weekly farmers market. I buy all soap, toothpaste, vitamins, etc from small businesses online. I even buy salt online, that comes from an ancient dead lake in Utah. The only reason we go to the grocery store is for paper towels and that sort of thing. And yes, it's inconvenient. But when I consider the alternative.....
I agree. And probably "lighten the load" (on the Earth) along the way.
Right!
And blindness is the number one side effect. Some choice.
Blindness? I haven’t heard that. I know permanent paralysis of your GI tract is one, higher incidence of pancreatic cancer, and of course nausea. That’s the one that most people get. But I haven’t heard blindness as a main one.
Detached retina
Really. That’s crazy!
And now the daily ad if you play NY Times Wordle.
Yes! I play Wordle and connections every day and they both advertise it!
Just be careful that you don't get scurvy.
Oh, I’m not on it, nor do I think I ever would. It has real side effects. But for some people the side effects are worth it because the risk of obesity’s effects on their body is much higher.
I’m not a pharma absolutist, in just think there’s always a trade off that just be considered carefully. And glp-1s don’t make sense for vanity weight loss.
Just made that comment in case people hadn't heard that something in these pills blocks vital nutrient absorption. (Go figure.)
And most of the weight loss is muscle unless you’re super careful.
"There will be less invention, investment, and innovation in vaccines generally, across all the companies.”
Translated, there will be less abuse/grift of taxpayer dollars going to create dangerous toxins disguised as medical solutions.
Hallelujah!!!
It amazes me that today’s big Pharma can’t design an experimental trial with a proper design. I was able to do it 50 years ago while working on my MS and PhD. But hey I wasn’t a Vet like the head of Pfizer.
Agreed.
However, It is their best interest to design testing that benefits the dollar not the living being.
And going for the quick $ to boost share price instead of a slower process that yields better products and boosts share price just not as quick.
Why would they want to? They had the government in their pockets, so real trials weren’t necessary.
That’s why they are squealing like Ned Beatty in Deliverence.
I laughed at big Pharma actually saying they do trials. We know the kind of trials they do. 🥴
Drug makers aren't in freefall, they've just changed their name and done a bait and switch, putting their money behind AI Healthcare.
Kinda like Big Tobacco. Reinvent the grift.
Exactly! They already did this with Big Tech and cell phones:

Cigarette papers were soaked in opium. Not sure that pure tobacco is a problem. The crops were also sprayed with pesticides.
It is not unlikely that tobacco will one day be rehabilitated like coffee, butter, eggs, etc.
I agree Bard - i don't have anything against tobacco - just the drug mongers behind it all, using deceptive marketing tactics and what you just described.
Blocking Mrna flu vaccine is a start, though AI will bring new forms of injected control.
AI doctor? Which Doctor is that?
