Re: statins

They don't "maintain patients’ blood pressure." They lower HDL (edit: oops! my mistake - should say LDL) cholesterol levels, yet still have zero effect on mortality from heart disease.

Blood pressure medications are also a scam, though.

Bard Joseph's avatar

Cholesterol too.

Needed by the brain.

C. Wilson's avatar

I agree with Linda- Midwestern doctor.

A Guy from South Florida's avatar

but what about the clogged arteries and heart conditions..etc..etc..? honest question.

Linda's avatar

Midwestern MD has a substack that I subscribe to that I heartedly recommend. "The Forgotten Side of Medicine"

On the subject: Statins, Cholesterol, and the Real Cause of Heart Disease:

Story at a Glance:

Despite decades of statin use costing approximately $25 billion annually in America alone, heart disease remains the leading cause of death, suggesting the cholesterol hypothesis that drives statin prescriptions is fundamentally flawed

Studies show that lowering cholesterol with statins does not reduce heart disease, and yet these findings are ignored while statin guidelines are created by experts paid by pharmaceutical manufacturers

Malcolm Kendrick’s clotting model provides a superior explanation for heart disease: atherosclerotic plaques result from repeated damage to blood vessel linings which the body repairs with layers of clots.

The medical establishment dismisses widespread reports of statin injuries as β€œnocebo effects,” paralleling how COVID-19 vaccine injuries were dismissed as β€œanxiety,” despite extensive evidence corroborating the injuries.

The actual causes of heart diseaseβ€”fine particulate matter from pollution and cigarettes, lead exposure, chronic stress, and endothelial damageβ€”receive minimal research funding because effective interventions cannot be patented and sold as expensive pharmaceuticals like statins.

Frequently in science, fundamental facts are altered to create a profitable industry. Recently, I showed how this occurs with blood pressure: rather than causing arterial damage, high blood pressure is a response to arterial damage that ensures damaged arteries can still deliver blood to the tissues. In turn, rather than helping patients, aggressively lowering blood pressure can be quite harmful."....

I'm trying to figure out how to use DMSO. He's big on that . A friend, long dead at 89, used it after WWII for his arthritis. It's a wonder substance.

westbound's avatar

The DMSO Store has the 70/30 ratios for topical application. 70% DMSO mixed with aloe, or other moisturizes. Or you can use 100% DMSO and mix your own ratio. The MW doctor substack mentioned above explores uses and methods of using DMSO,

Dena's avatar

You can buy β€˜DMSO Store’ brand on Amazon for around $15. I like the easy to apply roll-on application for my lower back. I use the 70% pure dmso pre mixed with 30% Aloe Vera. The non blended DMSO may be too potent for many. β€œ Healing with DMSO β€œ by Amanda Vollmer, also available on Amazon, worth reading.

Linda Mardula's avatar

She has a website, there’s free videos or you can purchase separate more in depth videos.

Linda Mardula's avatar

Read some of Midwestern Doctor’s very long and well researched articles. There’s also a good book β€œHealing with DMSO” by Amandha Vollmer. Dr. Stanley Jacob wrote several books and used it in his practice for 40 years. Sadly he passed away several years ago. His family maintains his website, you can purchase DMSO from there (cost more and shipping takes longer). I’ve been using DMSO for over a year. It’s been a game changer for me, I couldn’t walk, my knees hurt so bad. DMSO will bring into body whatever is on it, I researched everything. I buy clean skin products or make my own for skincare, cleaning, even laundry detergent (most on the market are highly toxic. Research everything and good luck!

Lroy479's avatar

I have been taking NATTOKINASE because my diet is ketovore, lots of read meat and good fats and of course the cholesterol is up. I am not worried but my DR sure wants me on statins...No way.

Merry McIntyre's avatar

The brain absolutely must have cholesterol. It’s the triglycerides that need to be watched.

Cousin Clem's avatar

Cholesterol appears on damaged arteries to repair them. Damage from things like eating too much sugar or seed oils. Same with the amyloid plaques that appear in the brains of Alheimer patients. The plaques are trying to repair damage nerves. The body does the best it can to repair itself when the operator/owner causes damage through lifestyle(stress and diet are two big problems).

Dr Linda's avatar

Also, a meta review showed the life extension to be 2-4 days plus the side effects

Cathie's avatar

When I mentioned this to my doctor, he laughed at me. Never went back.

LiveDreamRepeat's avatar

Yes! We discovered this in a deep dive to explain to my FIL why we took him off statins last summer. Long story short, he'd fallen and broken both hips & his left arm, and my husband moved in to care for him for 4 months while he recovered. He assessed all his many prescriptions and immediately removed statins. Months later the cardiologist was trying to convince the FIL to go back on it - we happily trotted out the factual statistics that showed it only changed life expectancy by 2-4 days. The cardiologist kept trying to infer that him being off statins had allowed a mild heart attack to occur. We countered that it was 20 years of monitored (not *managed*) diabetes that had led to CHF. My husband was shocked to learn that the in-laws had literally just been watching blood sugar levels and then reacting, vs proactively managing. No Dr had ever explained to them, in detail, how to proactively manage his blood sugar. Explains so much about allllllll his health issues. He's been shocked at how level & regular his blood sugar has been, for months, following the very common sense protocol my husband instructed them on.

Tonya's avatar

Short answer: "Clogged arteries" are a symptom, not a cause.

Jaime's avatar

It’s the sugar that’s doing it- it’s not the fat if you add sugar and fat equals clogs.. and by sugar I mean carbohydrates so fruit bread snickers etc… highly inflammatory sugar is the real issue and other frankenfoods - they know how to keep us fat sick addicted programmed seduced and looking to them for answers- one huge evil bed has us..πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»

Janet's avatar

Damage to epithelial layer of the blood vessels caused by many lifestyle and food habits, smoking, etc. Cholesterol is there to repair. You don’t blame the fire department when it shows up to put the fire out. Dr Kendrick and AMD goes into it. Lots of books.

I work with some people who believe in the vaccines and brag about being up to date on their boosters. Their bodies are also falling apart and their immune system is completely shot. They attribute it to age and wear and tear.

The people I referred to 3 of them have "autoimmune issues" they can't accept that is related to the vax, oh well, I gave up on them seeing the light.

Look Deeper's avatar

18% of the US population is 54,000,000 people, the population of California and New York state combined. So while it's framed as a 'small percentage', that's still a huge actual number of brainwashed or worse taking their boosters, and still a massive revenue stream for pharma, five years after the introduction of their bioweapons.

John Galt?'s avatar

You are correct. Statins are like paying the smart kid next to you to show you his test answers so you can *appear* smarter. You get the accolades and benefits of the better scores while remaining as dumb as you always were.

If you bought the lie about statins and want to understand how, research the slight-of-hand known as "relative" risk (versus absolute risk). Imagine a trial that contains 200 people, 100 in the treatment group and 100 in the placebo group. One person in the treatment group gets the disease, and two in the placebo group get it. The treatment group can boast a 50% reduction in relative risk. Absolute risk dropped by a fraction of a percent. Can you guess which statistic gets the headlines?

Tonya's avatar

Yes, the relative risk scam is something I saw with the covid shots, and immediately understood that it applied to all sorts of other interventions.

My husband went along with the statins stuff. 40 years now. He has all the side effects and all the things they were supposed to prevetn. His heart valve replacement is next week. His arteries are all clogged.

I never did any of it. My arteries are totally clear. no meds. resting bp 90/60.

I quit all added sugar, sweeteners last year. Quit seed oil years ago. When I quit the sugar (poison) I effortlessly dropped to now weigh what I did when I was 20.

We are old by anyone's standards, but I'm zooming around and he's not.

Tonya's avatar

I'm sorry to hear that about your husband. Does he recognize the cause?

Leskunque Lepew's avatar

There are several types of LDL. Most of them are quite necessary for human function. Only one is harmful. To destroy all of them is not wise.

No, I'm not a doctor or scientist.

What I am is a very good researcher who halted that awful statin drug.

Jane Tracy's avatar

They claim to lower the LDL cholesterol not the HDL - Good cholesterol

Tonya's avatar

Good catch. Thanks.

Juju's avatar

However, there are two kinds of LDL and one is essential to getting the healing proteins bussed around the body where needed, and it lowers those too, so it’s not good to lower all LDL

MWD did a terrific post on high blood pressure scam.

Lehel Somogyi's avatar

Stopped reading after that uninformed sentence. I do however hope for major breakthroughs in Medicine and more competition in treatment options.

Tonya's avatar

I suspect that Jeff had written a draft that contained info about blood pressure medications and statins before choosing to settle on statins (perhaps after nailing down that statins were the most prescribed), then deleted the wrong part/forgot to change the description.

Then, in my zeal to correct him, I also did some sloppy editing by accidentally typing HDL instead of LDL (though I knew full well the one targeted by statins). I guess I was due for a lesson in humility and the virtue of carefully reviewing a comment before hitting β€œpost”.

Sorry, Jeff, but I don't see the impending death of Big Pharma anytime soon. They still have their tentacles in way too many places to be brought down this easily. One of the things that astonishes me the most is despite how badly our "medical freedom" was abused in 2020-2022, very few state governments (including red state governments) have since put laws into place to enshrine our right NOT to wear masks, NOT to be forced into lockdowns, and NOT to be forced to take injections in order to go to work or school. These politicians seem to be in the palm of Big Pharma's hand, even in 2026.

And don't even get me started on Big Pharma's control of the mainstream media. Big Pharma is "alive and well." Don't underestimate them. They are not going down without a fight.

"We are winning"

Are we?

Or are we being fed the illusion of winning?

The reality is Trump appointed the most powerful woman in the Deep State to the most powerful position in D.C. politics, White House CHIEF OF STAFF.

And who is Susie Wiles? Wiles is co-chair of Mercury Public, the Deep State's most powerful lobbying firm in D.C., that lobbies for the U.N. and ....PFIZER!

-The deadly mNRA vaxxine is on the Trump-Kennedy CDC list.

-RFK Jr is replacing the ACIP execs that he fired with Trump-approved vaxx pushing pharmaceutical reps.

And RFK Jr is telling the American people that Measles is a FATAL disease!

And then telling terrified parents everywhere that β€œThe most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine” - RFK Jr.

(Most activist parents of Autistic children say it was the MMR vaxxine that imploded their child's brain.)

-Trump and Kennedy simply removed certain vaxxines from the children's vaxxine schedule, without having to acknowledge liability.

-There is a Trump media censorship blackout on the words 'C0vid Vaxxine Deaths' so 85% of Americans don't know the vaxxines are deadly, or the reason they're sick and their loved ones are dying.

-And Donald Trump is STILL LYING to the American people about a fake virus, and telling them that the genocidal vaxxines are safe, and to take them.

"We The People are saying no!" - Yeah, we said 'no' six years ago and they didn't care. The fact that C&C and commenters are excited about this is astonishing. Jeff asks "Do you follow me", No. No, I don't understand why you are excited about the next crap they are going to use against you, but I suppose when its Trump it will be ok?

The irony of a substack named C&C supports the guy that inflicted the lockdowns and led to mandates(by not stopping the lockdown craziness, Trump would have mandated if the vax was available in time) and is promoting the next wave of "miracle cures" that the govt will use to control people. If Trump was anything worth respecting on covid he would have pointed out that there were alternate effective treatment and the EUA would have NEVER BEEN APPROVED, he still promotes the vax. Remember when the govt, media and pharma companies were prosecuted for their crimes that were responsible for millions of deaths and billions suffering vax injury? Wasn't that great! That will teach the criminals to listen to "We The People " next time, right?

Freeing Cuba?!??

Donald Trump has bombed Iran, Nigeria, Yemen, Venezuela, Iraq, Somalia, and Syria, killing women, children and civilians.

Do you know what those countries all have in common?

They are remaining countries NOT on the Rottchild banking system.

You know who else is NOT on the Rottchild banking system?

Cuba.

Have you seen the videos of the Cuban people desperately begging the World for help? They have NO OIL.

No power, no transportation, no food, no hospitals. Cubans are in horrible conditions and crisis and begging the World for help.

Why? Because Donald Trump bombed Venezuela so City of London could install a new regime and take over Venezuelan oil, and then Trump imposed a BLOCKADE to prevent ships from getting oil to Cuba. (Venezuela is one of the largest oil suppliers for Cuba.)

In March '26 Trump stated that Cuba is "going to fall pretty soon".

Yes because Trump is committing the economic genocide of Cuba.

Why????

WTF did Cubans do to deserve Trump KILLING Cuba???

I agree with you to some degree. The pharma lobbyists are out in force and continue to capture legislators and government agencies. This needs to be fixed somehow.

Lynne Morris's avatar

So I cannot believe I am writing something that could be perceived as condoning lockdowns and masking, but the problem with the disastrous use of them during covid was that COVID did not justify the use thereof. That does not mean that no communicable pathogen ever will. To say such procedures could never be utilized would make the population very, very vulnerable if say ebola (which is easily communicable and has a very high mortality rate unlike covid which while easily communicable had fudged mortality rates) were rampant. And it would make the nation very, very vulnerable to those willing to use bio-weapons.

Vet nor's avatar

Well, if they were using Covid as a test case, to get us "used to" mandates for an event like bola, it backfired massively.

Of course, it could also be designed to make us resistant so when the real killer comes out, people will resist and the death toll will be higher. Just as the depopulate crowd wants it.

I had osteoporosis but didn't take any drugs. I intensified weight lifting and walking, although I already was quite active competitive swimming, running and cycling. In the words of the endocrinologist I had a dramatic reversal and was no longer osteoporotic (scores confimed her statement.) She still wanted me to start taking fosamax - the rest of the discussion didn't go well for her as she couldn't defend her recommendation.

They tried to get me to take those four years ago because my T-scores are a -3.9. I’m had 88 yr old bones in a 56 yr old body (60 today) which confused them. It was caused by 13 years on omeprazole which robs your bones of calcium. I refused three times. They pushed it hard. They could never answer my questions about the extreme side effects and what drugs might actually help produce osteoblasts rather than prevent osteoclasts from forming (which the bisphosphates prevent). They couldn’t answer what happens to me when all that old bone the osteoclasts were supposed to remove is left in my body. They couldn’t answer ANYTHING I asked - β€œI don’t know” was their response - and they kept repeating β€œwe’ve seen t-scores improve in other patients who use it”. So that got me thinking maybe DEXA scans aren’t the gold standard they are treating it like. The history of those machines is pretty telling. You don’t give expensive equipment away like candy the way they did.

Today I break bones easily. I have to live a less active life than my energy wishes. But I’ll build my own new bone with exercise. The side effects are way too extreme for the lack of answers to my questions.

Edit: in case you notice my other post about hyperparathyroidism and think, β€œwell now Juju, isn’t THAT the real cause of your osteo?” my response is β€œwhat causes my calcium to be so out of whack it caused three of my four parathyroids to become tumorous in the first place?” Mmm hmmm (parathyroid glands are the ONLY gland in our bodies that regulate calcium)

CraigN's avatar

So sorry to hear that Juju. I also have used PPI and H2 OTC drugs for GERD over more years than I care to admit because GERD is not fun. I ran across an article that cited a study from back in 2006 where common, unregulated supplements were used to in a comparison study against omeprazole and performed about 50% better. So I ordered up those ingredients along with some gelatin capsules and I must say that I have not looked back to the OTC drugs since. Been using this for a few months now and I see you already have some devastating effects of H2 usage, but if you are interested in what I have been using I can provide a link to the article. I'm not a big fan of planting links here on Jeff's substack without permission but will do so with a DM. Take care.

1️⃣ DGL (deglycyrrhizinated licorice) – 2 chewable tablets (~760 mg total) 15 min before meal Stimulates mucus & provides rapid symptom relief

2️⃣ Zinc Carnosine (PepZin GI) – 75 mg with meal Repairs epithelial micro‑lesions

3️⃣ Simple cooked meal: mild veggies + gentle protein (fish, chicken, lentils) Avoids mechanical & acid irritation

🌿 MID‑AFTERNOON (3 p.m.)

Optional repeat DGL if burning reappears.

Continue marshmallow or aloe sips if dryness/heat sensed in stomach.

πŸŒ‡ DINNER (5–6 p.m.)

Repeat DGL 15 min before eating.

Light meal, low‑fat and low‑acid (steamed vegetables, rice, mild soup).

Zinc carnosine again with food.

Avoid lying down < 2 hours after.

Hydrate with warm water, never cold or fizzy drinks.

Juju's avatar

Sure! Thank you. I stopped taking it three years ago and have since been successful with an apple cider vinegar regimen that works 95% of the time. (Previously I vomitted whenever I ate food of any kind so that’s a miraculous improvement!) But I do get an occasional break thru and would love to have other options when needed. So thanks!

CraigN's avatar

By request.

Here is a link that cites the study. I ordered these from bulksupplements.com, probably can get them from other sources. I also had a scale I got from Harbor Freight that was needed to weigh these and had to put together enough ingredients for 100 doses. One of the ingredients is a very small amount compared to the others so, had to put together a larger batch. I also already had some 00 gelatin capsules, but you will need something along that line. I take one of these every night and I occasionally have a flare-up that a simple antacid takes care of. I am usually pretty skeptical of claims such as these, but it was backed by a human study. Even my wife that suffers from multiple gut issues has started to use these with the same success

My use of bone density meds are what led to the side effects resulting in prescription for PPIs. It is a vicious circle. I am thankfully off all of the meds now and healthier than I was in my 50s. If symptoms start to reappear, I have learned that simply being a bit more restrictive with my diet puts me right.

KC & the Sunshine's avatar

I’d love the link, pls. I’m trying to fix my issue with herbs and such but must admit, the PPIs are really a game changerβ€” but one that I want to be rid of.

Juju's avatar

Oh … stop them as FAST as you can! You don’t want to life with bubble wrap around you. I had to give up riding my bike. 😒 The end results of taking them are far worse than finding another way.

I thought I couldn’t live without PPIs because whenever I tried I became deathly ill immediately and unable to eat.

You have to go off them SLOWLY. You need to reduce by 5mg increments every 2-4 weeks. To do this you need a script because OTC only comes in 20mg. (Purposeful? πŸ€”) I needed a 10 mg script that could be cut in half and luckily I had a cooperative doctor to help me with that.

At the same time, at minimum (maybe other tips being provided today will help but this is how I got off them,) drink 2T ACV every morning with your supplements. I add to 16-24 oz water 2T ACV, 1T lemon juice, 1tsp fresh grated ginger, 1tsp cinnamon and pinch of sea salt. I did that for the first year. Today I only need the ACV for my GERD control but the whole concoction is healthy in other ways too.

I did this alongside reducing the PPI. I was on 40 mg so it took about six months to wean off of slowly so that it didn’t cause a boomerang pile of symptoms as it does when you try to cold turkey it.

What I did the GI should have taught me to do. Instead he performed gall bladder surgery on me and placed me on omeprazole for the rest of my life, and made off with a LOT more money. πŸ™„

Leaving the old bone intact gives you a better score on the DEXA scan. They will tell you that means 70% fewer broken bones, except that number is a trick. The actual number is 1-2% fewer broken bones, which means they are lying about the efficacy.

DaveL's avatar

Bones need ductility to avoid breakage, and DEXA scans don’t measure that.

Juju's avatar

I read last year about a more accurate test of bone β€œstrength” not density, and I can’t find it. Does anyone know what that test is? It’s supposed to be better than the DEXA scan …

Butterfly2510's avatar

I asked Grok: The test you’re likely thinking of is the REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry) scan, often done with the Echolight (or EchoS) device. It’s an ultrasound-based bone assessment that’s been positioned in recent years (including 2024–2025 coverage) as a radiation-free alternative to DEXA that goes beyond just measuring mineral density to evaluate bone quality and strength.

Cousin Clem's avatar

The bones are a matrix of collagen with calcium. They can take stress and flex. Its why babies don't break their little bones when they are always falling. When they give people these osteoporosis drugs, it takes the calcium from the body and puts it into the bones but the collagen matrix is missing and the bones become just pure calcium and brittle like fine china. It's why grandma's hip cracks when she is just putting normal weight upon her bones. She needs to improve her intake of collagen, not put more calcium onto calcium

Becky's avatar

This is the supreme irony, that one of the side effects of the osteoporosis drugs is listed clearly as β€œmay increase risk of fractures.” The very thing you’re taking it to prevent. I’ve read this is because yes, the drug sends the calcium toward the bones so it appears on a DEXA to have strengthened the bone, but really the calcium is just sitting there on the bone surface, not even penetrating the bone. But your scan shows β€œimprovement” in bone density.

Juju's avatar

And … their drugs that stop osteoclasts from forming prevent your body from removing the old bone so that it builds up. Old bone is BAD for your body. You want to have it broken down and removed. They had an experimental drug five years ago that created more osteoblasts too, but it still stopped osteoclasts from forming, and that was a problem for me.

D&R’s Gma's avatar

Juju, Once upon a time I too had every thing you’re talking about. They gave me fosamax and it disintegrated my teeth in 6 months. 3 years ago I began daily D-3, amino acids and NAD+… took a bone scan 6 months ago (last one had been in 2021)… bone density increased by 4%, the nodules on my thyroid are gone and the tearing cartilage in my shoulders and arms have repaired themselves. I have no more pain and can lift again and my hair is not falling out. I’m still dealing with some teeth issues but nothing like before. Just wanted to share with you Juju as it sounded like you are dealing with things I too have dealt with. Have a wonderful day πŸ™πŸ˜Š

Juju's avatar

Thank you! Yes I have extreme pain in my extremities, most recently it’s my thumbs where they connect to my palm. It makes holding a glass of water painful so it has put an abrupt halt to my weight lifting for now. 🫀 I had JUST healed from β€œtennis and golfer’s” elbows that required casting. Gah!

They are blaming it on arthritis. I’m screenshotting a LOT of all these wonderful insights this morning. I’m desperate to return to the gym.

However, maybe the bone I do have left is strong. I fell on the ice in December and broke two ribs. But the way I fell and the force with which I hit the stoop was similar to being picked up by a gorilla and slammed squarely down on my rib cage. I think I should have broken ALL my ribs, but it was only two. Still it knocked me out of weight training ever since. Just last week I can finally sleep on my left side again so the thumbs really tick me off. πŸ˜†

Look up Essentrics, also called Classical Stretch DVDs by Miranda Esmonde White. On Amazon so you can see the reviews. It is very strengthing for being weights free. For me it was life changing.

I recommend every woman diagnosed with osteoporosis read, β€œThe Myth of Osteoporosis,” by Gillian Sanson. Those DEXA scans are designed to provide false data.

β€œThe Myth of Osteoporosis is a research-based work that provides clear insight into the myths of osteoporosis. These myths motivate both patient and physician into a lifetime of unnecessary testing and drug therapy therapy that can in fact be life-threatening. Gillian Sanson's well-documented explanation of these myths can spare women great anxiety.”

A friend I met here on C&C tipped me off to that! I’ve just completed six months worth. Six months more of my order is sitting here still to take. So good to hear what it has done for you. At this point my scores are so low I can’t get out of the osteo range, but I CAN increase my bone density still, and maybe what is there will be stronger bone than if not.

The old book "Myth of Osteoporosis" opened my eyes to the whole bone-density scam. Only take biphosphates if you don't care about your jaw falling off. 😩 I know of several older friends who took a biphosphate and regretted it immensely; they still monitor their health, afraid that the other shoe will drop.

I’ve been reading how certain forms of collagen can reverse osteopenia, so I would imagine it can also help osteoporosis. Apparently, there’s a brand called Fortibone. Codeage is another brand to look at. It can also make you look younger (supposedly lol). Wishing you the best!

re: "It's as if they have not read up on the lack of effectiveness and the ghastly side effects."

That is likely to be accurate. They have seen the promotional materials which were given to them by the pharmaceutical reps visiting their offices. But have those doctors actually taken time to read not only the promotional sales pieces but also researched effectiveness and side effects on their own? It is a safe bet that they have not. Personal story: I went to a very good doctor for decades. Nearly every time I was in the waiting room, one of those pharmaceutical reps came through the doors to see the doctor with literature and free samples. On the rare instances where I had to see the doctor in her actual office, there was always a mountain of the pharma literature piled on her desk. I am certain she never had the time to read through even the literature. She had very long days, always visiting her patients in the hospital in the morning and evening. She probably scanned the literature and believed in the claims.

He covered it in yesterday's paid post β€” including details MSM won't touch: the CIA ran a simultaneous deception campaign inside Iran to misdirect their search parties, local Iranians actually helped obstruct IRGC forces, the 48-hr deadline extension was cover for the rescue op (not diplomacy), and two U.S. transport planes were blown up on an Iranian runway during extraction. It's worth the subscription. πŸ˜‰

Mark Brody's avatar

Jeff Childers tendency to hyperbole has unfortunately backfired in the case of medical "miracles" he tells about. His zeal to get his readers super excited about newfangled biotechnology overlooks numerous age old historical observations: 1. Healers from other healing traditions - Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, homeopathy, chiropractic, and many other holistic healing systems have been curing people of chronic illness of centuries. I personally have witnessed many of these, and there are countless research articles demonstrating the efficacy and safety of these approaches, which are shunned by the vast and overweening pharmaceutical culture we live in; 2. Root cause therapy arrived decades ago and is being rolled out in grand form by MAHA. 90%+ of chronic illness is caused by treatable epigenetic forces that are lifestyle modifiable. This health care revolution train was missed by Mr. Childers; 3. The genetic illnesses referred to in Childers' article comprise only well under 1% of all illnesses at most. Chat GPT says about 0% rounded down. So these "miracles" are going to be a drop in the bucket, a pebble's splash in the ocean; 4. When about 90% of chronic illnesses are responsive to lifestyle measures alone, there is no need for expensive high tech solutions. Dale Bredesen's work showed about 80% of his Alzheimer's patients were cured without any high tech intervention. The response from Wall Street was predictable. We've got to get off the technology train in health care and get back to fundamentals. Not saying they are completely useless - just likely overpriced and minuscule in impact.

🌱NardπŸ™'s avatar

I think you miss the point…the trajectory…the β€œout with the old and in with the new.” This health/cure revolution may start with small things, but it will eventually grow into large things. We’re seeing the cumulative benefits of IVM, DMSO, chlorine dioxide and other non-patentable drugs released. Add that to AI inspired cures as opposed to treatments/maintenance, you do indeed have a revolution. And I, for one, am here for it.

You’re all missing the point here. AI in the hands of everyone will scale in a nano-second comparatively and Big Medicine as we know it will die a fast death. This article is prescient. Doesn’t mean Big Medicine won’t be replaced by Big AI but it will transform. There’s no cure for greed.

Becky's avatar

My friend noticed concerning cognitive and physical changes in her Dad and Mom (in their early 80’s) and used ChatGPT to do a little investigating. She listed the medications her parents were taking, along with their ages, weights and other parameters. The AI gave her four red flags for her Dad and two for her Mom, relating to the amount of the medication being taken and interactions with others. She presented this information to their doctors, whereupon some meds were reduced and others stopped. Back came her parents’ perkiness and enthusiasm for life.

First, I will start by saying that I use chiropractic, homeopathy and acupuncture on myself and so do some of my family members, just to get that out of the way. Now, if you want to be more convincing please provide some data, facts or citings to actual documentation for maybe 2 or 3 diseases or chronic illnesses that have been 'cured' by the alternative/holistic practices. I'm not disputing the usefulness in these alternatives for treating some conditions but, I cannot say that I know if instances where they have cured them. Thanks.

Mark Brody's avatar

The wealth of cures using non-traditional therapy can be learned about by picking up almost any book on alternative medicine, including homeopathy, acupuncture, Ayurveda, chiropractic, nutrition, and others. I see or hear about them almost every day. To access the science, I'd highly recommend greenmedinfo.com. Excellent research on homeopathy can be found in Michael Emmans Dean's "The Trials of Homeopathy", Ramakrishmnan's "Cancer: My Homeopathic Method", and Amy Lansky's "Impossible Cure. Judyth Reichenberg-ullman and Robert Ullman also have some nice care series demonstrating cures. Seek and ye shall find!

Good luck finding that Craig!

Most cancers are an easy fix using natural healing. Holistic MDs, doctors who have learned that the body will repair itself given the right conditions, have been curing cancer for DECADES. Unfortunately so many of them are dead, murdered, imprisoned, stripped of their license to practice medicine, or were forced to open clinics in Mexico.

Steve McQueen was murdered.

In 1980 U.S. doctors told McQueen that there was no more they could do for him, so he went to a Laetrile clinic in Mexico. When he returned he was nearly cancer free. His doctors convinced him to do one more procedure, and McQueen died.

Steve McQueen was murdered because Big Pharmacide could NOT have the #1 international male movie star telling the world that he had cured his cancer by eating apricot pits.

Here's an amazing documentary about a doctor who cures cancer, including the most difficult cancer, children's brain cancer, and what the United States government did to him because of it.

You might be right, and you might be wrong.

People don't usually get interested in a subject until it affects them personally. So if the author missed something this past decade or two, it probably had to do with he and his family not being affected.

OTOH, the covid frauds affected everybody. It's imperative that people know what other people did during the pandemic so that the errors of trusting untrustworthy people aren't repeated.

So you’re telling me you don’t give a damn about the other 10% so long as the rest can be healthy via natural means. The high tech solutions should not be available for the other 10%? K. That’s as scary as Big Harma logic

There’s a purpose for all types of approaches. The problem wasn’t the big tech solutions, it was that they were trying to apply it to the other 90% for profit. But those solutions are the better option for the other 10% and should be researched and pursued for those who would benefit.

I get the anger surrounding what they did with Covid, and the β€œvaccines” all these years, I really do, but if there is a one shot solution for a very small percentage why should we be against it?

We need balance. Right now what Pharma pushes is gravely unbalanced. You don’t balance it out by denying those who DO benefit from Pharma solutions. You pave a way for accuracy and truth and remove the financial incentives to market it to those who don’t need it.

Connecting the Dots on Ozone Water

Please allow me to connect the dots.

I recently watched a discussion between two doctors about water. They reviewed nine different types, explaining the benefits and drawbacks of each. During the Q&A, I asked why ozone water wasn’t part of the conversation. I asked because I believe ozone water may be one of the most powerful β€” and overlooked β€” tools for health and wellness, yet it’s rarely discussed in healthcare.

Neither doctor knew much about ozone water. One mentioned knowing another physician using it in cancer research. The other said she uses ozone water to wash vegetables. Interestingly, neither doctor drinks it.

Let’s connect the dots.

Ozone is an energized form of oxygen. Some researchers and clinicians have explored the idea that cancer may be associated with reduced oxygen levels in tissues. If that’s the case, it raises a reasonable question: could ozone β€” an oxygen-rich compound β€” play a role in addressing this imbalance? At the very least, it’s a question worth investigating. Yet no connection was made between ozone water and overall health.

Now consider food safety.

Ozone water is widely used to rinse vegetables and fresh produce because it removes bacteria, mold, and contaminants without leaving residue. This helps extend shelf life and reduce the risk of foodborne illness. Ozone has even been approved by the FDA for food safety applications. Leafy greens, for example, often harbor pathogens like E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella. Washing produce with ozone water helps reduce these risks.

Again, no dots connected.

Now consider the bigger picture.

Ozone water is already used in food processing, water treatment, and sanitation industries. It’s trusted to disinfect surfaces, water, and produce. Yet when it comes to medicine β€” where doctors battle infections every day β€” ozone water is rarely discussed.

If viruses and bacteria are the root cause of many illnesses, why isn’t a powerful, organic disinfectant like ozone water being considered more seriously in medical settings?

This is where the dots become harder to connect.

Modern medicine relies heavily on pharmaceuticals. Many doctors work within large healthcare systems. Hospitals are often corporate-owned, and pharmaceutical companies fund a significant portion of medical research and education. As a result, preventative and non-pharmaceutical approaches may receive less attention.

Meanwhile, many infections begin in the throat and upper respiratory tract. Pathogens often require several days to multiply and reach levels that cause illness. If that’s true, reducing pathogen levels early could potentially lower the risk of infection.

This raises another important question: if ozone water can remove pathogens from produce, could it also help reduce microbial load in the mouth or throat?

Similarly, ozone water is already used to disinfect surfaces and environments. It’s reasonable to ask whether it might also support skin hygiene and wound care, where reducing microbial load is important.

When you step back and connect these dots, a broader picture emerges:

β€’ Ozone water is widely used for sanitation

β€’ It’s approved for food safety

β€’ It reduces microbial contamination

β€’ It leaves no chemical residue

β€’ It’s already used in multiple industries

Yet it remains largely absent from everyday medical discussion.

This doesn’t mean ozone water is a cure-all. But it does suggest it may deserve more study and consideration β€” particularly as a preventative hygiene tool.

My personal approach has been simple:

β€’ Drink freshly ozonated water daily

β€’ Use it as a skin rinse

β€’ Wash produce with it

β€’ Disinfect my personal environment with it

I connected these dots nearly ten years ago. Since then, ozone water has become part of my daily hygiene routine, and I haven’t been ill.

Perhaps it’s time for the broader medical community to start connecting the dots as well.

That’s her documentary lol! Oh, what’s interesting is that the declining rates in fertility are not exclusive to humans, but are happening among the entire animal population as a whole. That’s the part people get wrong. I haven’t seen the documentary yet, but it’s in my queue;).

Will the ozone though kill good bacteria along with bad bacteria in the mouth for example? Don't want an unbalanced microbiome.

Ozone controls the amount of bacteria in your gut, it doesn’t kill all of them. You will still have some good and some bad bacteria. You will not have enough to infect you. It’s not all or nothing, it’s about control. Ozone breaks down into regular oxygen after controlling the bacteria. This added oxygen promotes wellness and vitality.

Balanced gut, added oxygen. It’s all good.

I have an ozone generator from Promolife & have been using it for about 3 years. I use it mainly for decreasing asthma symptoms & having to use inhalers & all those pesky steroids. It’s amazing & keeps me from being sick. I always forget about the water! Need to start doing that!

I have a 16.3 year old dog developed stage 2 kidney disease. She was pretty healthy despite it. I researched found an integrative gave her ozone water under skin and in the rectum. My angels kidney disease has reversed to stage 1. I’m going to try microbiome replacement to keep her at stage 1 or maybe reverse. I’ll wondering if vet can treat me for whatever ails me. πŸ˜‚ I also added some supplements and changed her diet but hey a dog 16 to see a reversal is almost unheard of. She is pictured in my profile.

Very unscientific but it works for you. Please remember that Ozone is 03….and unstable with the 1 0xygen molecule looking to combine with something else. That something else might be an illness-producing compound.

Definitely forbidden when it comes to inhalation and Ozone-producing devices for indoor air.

Yeah maybe was something else I am giving her. Rehmannia 8 and Azodyl probiotics may have been the key to her recovery. I will say when she left the O3 treatments she had a spring in her step and was extra energized. Either way I will take it. I lost a 30 year old African grey the year before and I’ve decided dog will make it 17 since I don’t want to lose another pet at least not this year. Maybe get lucky she makes to 18. You just never know. If eating sleeping comfortable and happy then why not?

Integrative doctors are my choice. They are like my mother, here's a tea to cure you. I was not taken to doctors, my mother had cures for what ailed me. She cured my children, with the exception of my son, who was injured by the polio vaccine). My children cure themselves and others now. We make our own "medicines" such as elderberry syrup, honey garlic, fire cider, etc. Integrative doctors are self-pay. Mine kept me informed about the scamdemic and prescribed me ivermectin. Dr. Pierre Kory and Dr. Paul Merrik were persecuted during the scamdemic for trying to cure people with ivermectin. They are heros.

C&C was early enough this morning that I was able to read it while drinking my second cup of coffee. Of course I nearly did a spit-take when I got to the Kamala Harris reference but I guess you have to take the good with the hysterical.

A Belated Easter Note.

Saturday morning I was working in the yard, the sun was out and it was warming up nicely. By the afternoon the wind had picked up and the temperature began to fall. It was a tough winter for me as I’m sure for many of us. I turned 61 in March and much of my work this past winter was outside. When the 4:30 alarm would go off and it was 5 degrees outside it was tough to get motivated to stand out in that cold for 8-10 hours.

Here in the northeast spring is struggling to forgive what winter has left. With 2 inches of snow predicted in some places on Tuesday I guess winter is not letting go, it’s struggling to accept the inevitable and finally move on. Spring will come though like a new beginning.

When I look at the work left from last fall that didn’t get done I know what I have to do, bear down and again clear away these past messes. Some that I made, and some that others left here in my life. It’s a constant struggle to forgive and to accept forgiveness. Accepting forgiveness for things that I created is tough for me, but it is the most powerful gift given to us, we just have to be willing to accept it.

It’s amazing as I clear away the leaves that were left I see the Hostas beginning to sprout up out of the ground. It’s a great feeling of renewal when you are really able to clear out the clutter of the past. Easter, Springtime and Redemption, they all seem to go so well together, we just have to be willing to let go of our past discretions, move forward and appreciate the beauty of today and this life that we’ve been blessed with.

I recently came across this story of forgiveness. I thought it fit well with this time of the year.

There was an older man that was in and out of a hospital in the Sierra Mountains in California. On a very stormy night he was admitted to what would be his final days.

A nurse at the hospital called her minister at the rectory, Father John Omalley, who said he would make the trip through the flooding wind swept rains. With streets flooded and roads closed, the normally 20 minute drive ended up taking 3 hours.

Father Omalley finally got to the hospital at 3 in the morning and was told the man was not at all friendly and had no family. Father Omalley, as he walked by the room turned and went in. He said excuse me sir I was passing by and thought I’d stop in and see how you’re doing. The man looked up and said it’s 3 in the morning you know I’m dying. Father Omalley said is there anything you need to make right. The man wouldn’t say a word so the Father said some prayers and began to talk about the storm, sports, eventually the man began to join in on the conversation.

3 hours went by and the man finally opened up and said Father I need to get something off my chest. He said 31 years ago I worked as a switch man at a railroad station. It was late at night, 2 days before Christmas, and the crew and I that were on that night were drinking heavily. They needed someone to go out and make the switch so that an incoming freight train would go around and continue North. This man, named Tom, volunteered, went out and accidentally hit the wrong button. The freight train ended up slamming into a passenger car that had stalled on the tracks killing a young couple and their two daughters. He said nobody has ever known what really happened that night. I’ve lived with the guilt and the shame for over 30 years. I’ve never been big enough to admit to the family that it was my fault and how sorry I was. God could never forgive me for what I’ve done.

There was a long pause, Father Omalley took the man’s hand and said Tom the people that were in that car were my parents and my two older sisters, and if I can forgive you God can forgive you as well.

It’s truly amazing how Jesus suffered to take away the sins of man. No mistakes we’ve made are too big for Gods mercy. This is Gods Grace and undeserved favor. Have Faith in God. Hope you all had a blessed Holy Week and Easter. Happy Spring!

Excellent news. Just had a Squamash Carcinoma removed along with the margins. I truly wish I could have had a skin cancer patch instead! Thank you Jeff for sharing these updates. God Bless us all. πŸ™πŸ»β™₯οΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

The skin cancer patch sounds amazing. And seems such a simple concept.

The stitches are driving me crazy. They itch so bad I want to rip them off.

Kathleen Janoski's avatar

Last year I had hand surgery to remove a cyst.

The stitches drove me insane with the itching. I even had to Google it to see if it was a common occurrence.

It is common.

"In mouse models, the patch reduced melanoma lesions by an eye-watering 97% in only 10 daysβ€” a fraction of the time you’d spend waiting even for an appointment to see your dermatologist." I can attest to the wait time. I got diagnosed with melanoma in-situ which I know is not supposed to be as scary as melanoma, but when they told me it would be 4 to 6 weeks before I could have it removed, I said, "are you kidding me? you give me a diagnosis with the word 'melanoma' in it and you make me wait until it the in-situ no longer applies?". They got me in in about 3 weeks instead. Still too long, but did turn out favorably.

Thank you Jeff, for true breakthrough reporting. These developments have not been reported anywhere that I monitor. Excellent job portraying the roots of the new innovation and the likely path forward. I would be selling my pharma stocks today.

Be open and honest.

How many of you KNEW something was afoot when you opened your SubStack and saw that C &C was already online? I was…

I mean, Mr. Childers has a family, has a law practice, writes 7 days a week and is accomplished in all of them. I don’t mind the wait, it allows for me to have some coffee and get awake.

The discoveries that he mentioned are just unbelievable and to me, this may be one of the most significant, current events articles, that I have ever read.

Kudos and Thank You, Mr. Childers!

Excellent discussion of what’s happening in New Medicine. My new book, Cancer is a Parasite: Kill it with the Safe, Over-the-Counter Antiparasitic Fenbendazole, published March 3, 2026 by Skyhorse covers this subject and more. Starting with my mother in law eradicating her metastatic breast cancer completely, with zero side effects, from fenbendazole purchased on Amazon five years ago, breast cancer still gone! Then publishing a Substack Fenbendazole Can Cure Cancer that explained how she did it and then compiled others’ case reports of those self-treating their various cancers as well. I reveal why developing nations that use antiparasitic drugs in public health initiatives enjoy greater than half the incidence of cancer as do wealthy Western nations that don’t. Prove, unequivocally, that pharma knew that fenbendazole cured cancer in the 1970s actively covered it up and repurposed its mechanism into standard of care oncology drugs. Demonstrate, again with little doubt, that cancer is a form of parasite with all of the attendant features of a parasite, not the least of which is its eradication by the antiparasitic fenbendazole. Conceptualizing what cancer is, not what causes it as other theories address, a complex chimeric parasite that changes over time, is a game changer and will instruct the future of oncological thought and research from this point forward. Some antiparasitics are legitimate cures for many cancers and my book proves that statement on the molecular, mechanistic, biochemical, genetic, preclinical, clinical (human self-treatment), epidemiological, and theoretical (epistemological) level. There is a cure for cancer and people all around the world know it, are using it to effect and most importantly, are living to tell their stories to others similarly affected. Did I mention that Skyhorse also publishes Secretary of Health and Human Services Secretary Kennedy’s books as well?πŸ˜‰

Something else popping up: many β€œorder it yourself” labsβ€”-no RX neededβ€”with AI synopsis of what the results mean/might mean and recommendations of how/if to improve. (And/or go see a doctor). Self-pay Costs for these tests are a fraction of what you’d pay through a provider or hospital and some seem to be reimburse able via HSA.

You can even order your own blood work at Quest now. I agree with you, great move.
