Articles of impeachment finally filed against Joe Biden; Grandma Garland appoints special prosecutor; Bankman-Fried does not pass go; FDA makes ivermectin admission; extra bad news for Bud; and more.
After reading some of the very insightful posts over the last year, I have decided: no more mammograms, Pap smears or colonoscopies. I use arnica tablets for pain - no more Advil or Tylenol (emergencies, maybe). Thanks to RunningLogic, I don’t worry about my cholesterol in the same way, thanks to his suggestion to Dr. William Davis’s information (I listen to his podcasts). No more Truvia; only pure stevia.
I have more to learn, but I know if I have any questions, I can always come on here and there will be loads of folks sharing their information wanting to help. ❤️🙏
I am with you on this. I have removed myself from the sickness establishment as well. I cancelled my colonoscopy and did a Cologuard instead. I got a breast ultrasound instead of a mammogram. No more yearly visits to the doctor just so they can make money off of me!
I have been doing ColoGuard for 5 years now - I met a fellow brand ambassador years ago at a Best Buy store who shared with me he had been MIA for 6 months recovering from a near death infection he was afflicted with as a result of a botched colonoscopy (by a well-renowned specialist in our area). As the old saying goes, "Doctors bury their goof-ups"!! That REALLY affirmed my early-on decision when I turned 50 many moons ago to NEVER get a colonoscopy as a "preventive" measure.
I read about botched colonoscopies. I had no idea the equipment wasn’t sterilized. They don’t tell you that. 🤬
Doctors TRY to hide things, but they can’t for very long. My mom passed away 6 years ago after a cosmetic surgery. She had surgery on a Tuesday and passed on that Friday.
We are suing the surgeon, not for money, although that’s the only way into courts. We were #19 in now 22 lawsuits against him. My mother didn’t give me his name to research. She didn’t want me to cancel the surgery, which I would have.
We had depositions. The surgeon admitted killing another patient with the same surgery in the last 10 years. So, we got through summary judgment and have been waiting for a trial date since FEBRUARY 2022! Since then 3 more lawsuits have been waged against him for malpractice.
I already went to NYS Office of Professional Medical Conduct to open up a claim to have his license removed. They won’t do anything except hold the complaint until after the case closes. UNFRIGGINGREAL!!
To your point, doctors do try to hide things. I vowed to take this case all the way so no other family goes through what we did. He’s still going strong and revamped his website with all 5 STAR REVIEWS. Crazy, right?
The Admitted #3 cause of death in this country is medical mistakes. Add in cancer deaths, because chemo and radiation kill, and going to see your doctor is easily the leading cause of death in the US.
My husband was one of those incidental deaths. Had lymphoma, had one a half rounds of chemo ( one half because he had an anaphylactic reaction to one of the two meds in the chemo cocktail. had a port placed in his skull to treat the spinal fluid, rather than submit to 3x weekly delivery via spinal tap. Within weeks, he developed meningitis, went into a coma for several weeks, miraculously pulled out ( well, not so much, since I begged prayer from everyone I knew) and the cancer was gone, as in no trace whatsoever. His neurologist told me he thought that would happen, since infection can actually be Mother Nature's cure. Anyhow, fast forward a couple of months, when in spite of the clean remission, his oncologist insisted that my husband take a drug called Revlimid (which is actually thalidomide, repurposed) , as *maintenance* to prevent the cancer from coming back. This was right before covid, so I regrettably hadn't developed the skeptical animus that I now have toward Big medicine and Big Pharma. The oncologist was insistent that he take it because the cancer would come back if he didn't. So ny husband took it...turns out the omcologist must deliver a pre-treatment cocktail to prevent what is called 'tumor lysis', i.e, any remaining cancer cells ( that we all have, turns out) die off and go septic when the body doesn't clear them quickly enough. His oncologist insisted that the cancer had returned, terminally, and refused further treatment. I made an appointment with another university hopsital---this was the Easter weekend---for the Monday morning after Easter. But my husband went into cardica arrest on that Saturday night, and the EMTs agreed to take him to the new hospital. The doctors there did their best, I will admit, to stabilize him and try to bring him out of it, because their assessment was that it was the lysis from the medication, not the cancer that was killing him. He died on Easter Sunday, of an easily and entirely preventable reaction to this *life saving maintenace drug*.
AMEN, Roland! There is a huge hospital in our area (Milton Hershey Med Center) that just built an EVEN larger "citidel to medical misdeeds" (my moniker) only 30 miles from their original "citidel". This is the medical center that Milton Hershey helped to start 80 years ago. Then it really was dealing in HELPING the citizenry--NOT NOW!! I have vowed to NEVER go to the hospital again - for anything!!! If I'm unconscious--or unresponsive--I have plans to have DNR documens sent to EVERY HOSPITAL in my area. I am not wealthy and am on a Medicare "advantage" plan--I do not want what little wealth I have going to the "healthcare" system--I want it going to my GRANDCHILDREN.
Take heart, Randi, that WORD OF MOUTH gets the truth spread better than any "5 star reviews" on websites! This creepy "doctor" will get their punishment--HANG TOUGH!!! Your fight is just and your Mom was "legally murdered"!! I am sorry that she felt the need to have "cosmetic surgery"--even if I had the funds to do that to myself--I wouldn't. I EARNED all these wrinkles just by being a VICTOR in life!!
😞 She got a recommendation for this surgeon who butchered her. She had a consult for one thing - her arms - and told me “the surgeon would do ALL the other things FOR FREE!” I have never met ANYONE who does things like this for FREE, but my mother was undeterred. 😞
For 3 weeks I pleaded with my mother to push off the surgery, but she wouldn’t listen. I didn’t have the surgeon’s name to research, but I did after she died. I took a VERY deep dive and found out he owned a small part of a medical research company. So, the WHY he would do something for free became clearer when I knew his company was testing how to dissolve fat. 😳 Why wouldn’t he want the fat from a 74 YO woman to test??!! The SOB got a chunk of the sale that was $465 MILLION! It sold in 2020, mom passed in 2016. Dad passed this past December after getting the booster. 😞
After the surgeon’s deposition, I asked our attorney if I could share it. He said it’s public record. SO. I sent it to EVERY association on his website with a very detailed write up. EVERY one of the associations was too chicken shit to do anything but keep the information “on file” and they said to let them know the upshot of the lawsuit. So, if you think any of theses fackackta professional associations do anything, think again. Board certified means VERY little if they don’t do anything when someone is killed.
I even found out he had a FL license and went to the FL medical board and advised them, too.
I just don’t want this man to hurt or injure another person. He has 22 lawsuits against him and those are the ones that made it past an attorney to file them.
Last thing, it’s a biggie! The insurance company defending him ALWAYS replaces their attorney with the surgeon’s “personal” attorney who has defended him in all these cases. Don’t you think this guy is crooked because I’m sure he is aware of the harm he has caused but still defends him??!! When anyone surgeon gets a judgement for malpractice in excess of $25,000 they become uninsurable. That’s what we want. He would never be able to practice again. And here we are waiting the last 18 months for a court date. I have a serious suspicion that there is some collusion of why we haven’t gotten a court date, but I could be wrong. 🤔
Oh wow!! I’m so sorry for your loss but also so *angry* about this!! So government bodies and licensing entities can spend oodles of time persecuting medical professionals for “misinformation” on shots and masks, but people DIE because of malpractice and botched surgeries and they drag their feet???? 🤬🤬🤬 They’re worse than useless!!!!!
There have been many people infected with Hep C by unclean colonoscopes in the VA. Was a big thing a few years back. I am a retired VA RN and remember this well.
She had liposuction in her abdominal area. The surgeon was moving the cannula (the liposuction instrument) very hard (he had a heavy hand) and pierced her small intestines. My mother died of sepsis. My brother and I never spoke to her between Tuesday and Friday. Dad never told us what was going on. If he did, things would have been different.
There were several conversations between my father and the surgeons office after surgery. The surgeon knew my mother was in severe pain as soon as she got back from surgery - Tuesday afternoon. He told my father her pain was normal. He never said “if she is in that much pain go the the emergency room”. In fact he NEVER said those words. And that is part of the lawsuit. In NY we can sue not just for wrongful death, but for the surgeon knowing a patient is in pain and not doing anything. I forget the term right now. Anyway, the surgeon said if she’s in pain tomorrow, give me a call.
Dad called Wednesday morning. Dad told the surgeon “Barbara says she feels like she’s dying”. He said bring her to my office Friday if she is still in pain. Still never said - go to the emergency room.
I know what you might be thinking. Why didn’t my father take her on his own. The simplest answer is - because men in that generation did as the doctor told him. He was lead to believe that my mother wasn’t really in that much pain because the doctor said it was normal. So. He gave her more pain meds. I can’t imagine the pain she was in. I get upset even thinking about it.
Friday morning, my dad had a chemo appt (bladder cancer). He came back to the house to find the EMTs pumping my mother’s chest. They never made it to the surgeon’s office.
It was quite a shock.
The instruments used during colonoscopies are NOT sterilized. They are scrubbed/washed. I found A LOT of info from the NIH, of all places. Crazy, right?
My mom died of colon cancer and it was a terrible way to go. Colonoscopies every 10 years is not a big deal. I have to get them every three years and do have polyps. These polyps which are pre-cancer would not show up on Colonguard are snipped and this treatment is are 100 percent cancer preventative.
Yes..my mom had no family history. The AMA moved the age for the first recommended colonoscopy from age 50 to 45. They know thousands of lives are saved by doing this. So I encourage everyone to get their baseline to determine their risk.
Are they pre cancerous? Who told them so? How do they know that? What causes them? Can they go away without severe medical intervention? Cancer is booming. WHY???!!!!
See my note about the keto diet, fasting and hyperbolic oxygen treatments/cures. Internet search scientific info.
There was a obstetrician who delivered a baby, sort of, here in N Georgia. She apparently pulled so hard on the infant it was decapitated! She then wrapped the baby and propped the head on and quickly she showed it to the parents and then convinced them a cremation should be done asap. The mortician reported the cover-up. That should be an interesting malpractice lawsuit. I cannot imagine the horror those parents must have felt.
The only photo with this linked article does not include the obstetrician Tracey St. Julian; the only woman pictured with this article is the mother who lost her first-born in this tragic story ... ??? ... where did you get your "look at the doctor," I wonder?
The hospital where it happened has been a mess for many years. 28yrs ago my sister had her twins there. Worst medical care I'd ever witnessed...like a third world country... Nursing staff was sadly lacking in experience and medical maternity knowledge... Waited for hours on end for basic medical assistance. Never did see her midwife after the delivery. Come to think of it.... reminds me of today's hospitals...
Yup. Done for me. Cologuard. It’s easy. No family history of colon cancer and at 75 this test should uncover it. No regular mammograms either. I’m looking into thermal ones. The ultrasound one hurt like hell.
Ditto, Janet! BTW...I had breast thermography done for 2 years back in 2008-2009. Then I moved to another area and there were no practitioners who performed this type of imaging. It's VERY helpful to detect "change of body temps" in whatever area of the body is scanned with the thermography wand. Totally painless and very reasonably priced back then (I believe I paid $125 for each time the practitioner scanned my breasts. But that person no longer provides that service - it's very difficult to find thermography practitioners and this area is filled with "alternative medical" facilities.
Anything corporate medicine and/or the government "pushes" on citizenry - I immediately RUN THE OTHER WAY! I guess I am also a "contrarian"--along with our beloved Atty. Jeff Childers!
I am definitely a contrarian and do run the other way as well. Much like the government run schools aren’t about education, corporate medicine is not about health, it’s about money. And, yes, I have been cynical for a very long time.
Colonoscopies are a very lucrative revenue stream. Need I say more? And, yes, it’s true that the various components of the colonoscopy equipment are NOT sterilized throughout the day, between patients. Think about that (yuk).
My functional medicine doc doesn’t do those ridiculous Medicare wellness checks as soon as I’m in the office. Regular docs—ka-Ching. I’m refusing the next time I am unavoidably in a conventional docs office. If I get one more health newsletter from my supplement insurer recommending “low fat, tiny bits of red meat and healthy whole grains” I’m going to scream.
Remember when we were younger, and no one went to the doctor unless they were seriously injured (broken bone, stitches needed, etc.); or we’re so I’ll their mom couldn’t heal them? No annual ‘well visits’, which are simply a revenue stream as well as a way to sell Rx drugs (Now I call them drugs, rather than medications). And now I view it like this: I can’t name one person I know, who is older, on a number of prescription drugs, and says, “Now that I’m taking all these pills every day, I’m healthier and feel better.” Instead, I see them as being technically alive, but being killed in slow motion.
I have done Cologuard twice now and while it’s not the most pleasant to do, I will take it. I also have not yet done a mammogram (mid 50’s) and my doctor recommended the ultrasound which I am planning to do. She also told me that an ultra is what they do if something is seen from a mammogram so I don’t understand why they don’t just do that first.
June-they don't do the ultrasound because its not standard of care and the insurance companies will not pay for it. As with everything else with medicine and insurance, if its more unhealthy for you, then they will pay for it.
I had it and the pressure they used with the device hurt like hell. My chest muscles were sore. I worry about that kind of pressure just like the mammogram. Look into thermal. There are stand alone places that do it. I don’t know about insurance. I’m willing to pay if I need one though. I see a functional medicine doc now and insurance doesn’t cover it. Medicare does pay most blood tests. The peace of mind and safety I feel there and darn good doctoring is worth the cash to me. I’m now much healthier and just go for bloodwork now. She nor her staff are coV vaxxed.
I quit my job during covidmania and am just milking my 401K (age 58). No insurance except for catastrophic ($10K detectable). So we do cash for everything.
"What's your cash rate?" and turns out lots of health providers like cash payers.
El Rushbo would tell the story of paying cash for medical needs (before his lung cancer diagnosis) and relate the blank stares from the clerks when he told them he didn't have insurance, he was paying cash.
I always questioned why obummer pushed 'mandatory universal health care'. I'm sure he (and many other pols) has profited greatly from that law.
I have only had one and am not planning to have any more. I was 47 or 48 for my first one. They said I had dense breast tissue so had me go for an ultrasound to check further and I had the same thought—why not just do an ultrasound??
After my BC treatment, my oncologist would write an order for a mammo AND ultrasound. The ultrasound kept finding things that were nothing, but because they "saw something," I would have to get biopsies so they would leave me be. After a couple of years of this craziness, I asked the oncologist to drop the ultrasound and he agreed. A lot of worry for nothing.
I’ve never heard of a breast ultrasound in place of mammo, and admittedly in spite of my personal medical awareness, don’t really understand the dangers of mammography... but you can be sure i’m going to check into it now!
Mammograms use ionizing radiation. That is a danger. Plus the risk of finding things that aren't cancer but require interventions to confirm their benign nature.
There is a concern that the pressure of the mammogram on breast tissue could rupture an existing cancerous spot, spreading it in the body instead of staying encapsulated.
FWIW, the single best anti-inflammatory I have found is celery and fennel seeds, which were discovered by reading Healing Spices: How to Use 50 Everyday and Exotic Spices to Boost Health and Beat Disease Kindle by Bharat B. Aggarwal.
Several years ago, while working as a temp at a Walmart, I helped unload the truck every afternoon. This caused me to develop 9-10 point pain in my lower left back, where I'd suffered muscle damage from the Guillain-Barré syndrome triggered by the Swine flu shot I'd received in 1976. I'm not sure whether it is the celery or the fennel seeds, or the combination, but the relief was immediate and has been lasting, so the low cost of the seeds makes further investigation unnecessary. I can't prove that the seeds have anything to do with my 3 years of hs-CRP of .4, but it is a nice side effect if it does.
That's what we did, and much more, after my wife's cancer diagnosis and deciding to treat it holistically, and stop doing the things that cause healthy cells to mutate into cancer cells. do you need to know anything more about mammograms than Astra Zeneca, the maker of the best celling breast cancer chemo drug, invented Breast Cancer Awareness month? Use thermographs, and ultrasounds if you want to safely detect cancer. The rub? Insurance won't pay for thermographs, and will pay for an ultrasound ONLY after getting a mammogram. Thermographs detect cancer many years earlier than mammograms too, because the threshold of detection requires multiples lesss cancer cells to be present.
My gyn had been accepting thermography for years instead of mammogram… and my last appt she told me she can’t accept them anymore I’d need to get a mammogram
I think just like with vaccines…
The insurance companies are now applying pressure to gyn MDs to make sure women are getting them … monitoring their patients medical Files
And if women in their practice aren’t up to date- they’re applying pressure to MDs
Why does your gyn need to "accept" thermography and why would you "need to get a mammogram"? This should be your choice - is she threatening to kick you out of the practice if you don't get a mammogram?
If it's because she's seeing more breast cancers, she should want everyome to go with thermography since it detects breast cancers about 10 years before a mammogram detects it. Must be something about iinsurance companies clamping down - surely has to do with money, but I'm having a hard time "following the money" rationale on this one.
Here’s something else I learned recently that may help some of you. I’ve been suffering from allergic reactions from a wide variety of “things” including anti histamine which means that none of the standard allergy treatments can work. At my last allergist visit the nurse practitioner as a last resort suggested I try raw honey.
She told me it has to be raw, un pasteurized, locally produced by a beekeeper in my local area.
As it happens there is one less than a mile from my home. I bought a jar of one of his honeys and took it home.
First of all it is delicious. But most importantly within ten minutes of taking about a teaspoon of it all of my symptoms started to disappear.
Rhinitis, sneezing, runny nose, all the typical allergic reactions to the environment.
It is the closest thing to a miracle drug I ever experienced. Some days I need more than others and I play around with the dosage.
Of course it is sugar with a high glycemic count so if you’re diabetic it could be a problem and I have peripheral neuropathy in my feet and eating sugary foods aggravates that so I say G-d gives and takes away. You have to figure what works for you.
I hope this little essay helps someone. Please share it as you wish
homeopathic apis and histaminum 200c could be helpful to you as well, without the sugar rush. Allium cepa is another good one from sneezing and runny nose watery eyes. . each remedy is only about $10
PET imaging studies have confirmed that tumor areas with a high glycolytic metabolism are more radioresistant than those with a more oxidative metabolic phenotype [72, 73].
The decreased tumor lactate concentrations after a few days on a KD in head-and-neck cancer patients measured by Schroeder et al. [81] are of particular interest, as tumor lactate concentrations have been directly linked to radioresistance in a variety of xenografted head-and-neck tumors that were irradiated using a clinically relevant schedule of 30 fractions over 6 weeks [88, 89].
...the combination of a KetoDiet with IR against lung cancer xenografts using both conventionally fractionated (34 × 1.8 Gy) and hypofractionated (2 × 6 Gy) schedules. In both cases, adding the KD to RadiationTreatment achieved the greatest efficacy regarding tumor growth delay and mouse survival.
It is also noteworthy that, in autophagy-competent cells, various forms of mutant but not wild-type p53 were degradable through deacetylation-induced autophagy triggered by glucose restriction in vitro and a low carbohydrate diet in vivo; depletion of mutant p53 subsequently induced autophagy-mediated cell death [115]. These findings support the application of ketogenic therapy along with RT against p53-mutated tumor cells.
An important role for ketone body-mediated protection was obtained from the study by Dorff et al. [132] in which longer fasting duration prior to chemotherapy appeared more protective, yet only BHB, but not insulin, IGF-1 or glucose, were significantly different between 24 and 48 h of fasting prior to chemotherapy. This supports the hypothesis that KDs might be used as fasting-mimicking diets to reduce side effects from oxidative stress during prolonged treatment situations such as during several weeks of RT.
Finally, it is important to note that the human STF studies have failed to reproduce the reductions in insulin and glucose levels seen in the mouse studies because corticosteroids were routinely administrated during chemotherapy [134, 136]. This could have prevented some further reductions in side effects or blunted the effect sizes. More alarming are findings that corticosteroid use prior to RT was associated with significantly shorter overall and progression-free survival in 3 large cohorts of glioblastoma patients [137]. This was linked to a corticosteroid-induced redistribution of tumor cells from the relatively radiosensitive G2/M phase to the relatively radioresistant G1 phase, with maintenance of cell viability. Additionally, the corticosteroid-induced elevations of blood glucose levels would provide a radioprotective environment. We have argued that this could be countered with ketogenic therapy [138]. The proof of principle was provided by Champ et al. [139] who showed that consumption of a KD during RT lowered the blood glucose levels in glioblastoma patients even under concurrent corticosteroid treatment.
Nevertheless, two systematic reviews on HyperBolicOxygen treatment and cancer have concluded that the use of HBO in patients with malignancies is considered safe. To supplement the previous reviews, we have summarized the work performed on HBO and cancer in the period 2004–2012. Based on the present as well as previous reviews, there is no evidence indicating that HBO neither acts as a stimulator of tumor growth nor as an enhancer of recurrence. On the other hand, there is evidence that implies that HBO might have tumor-inhibitory effects in certain cancer subtypes, and we thus strongly believe that we need to expand our knowledge on the effect and the mechanisms behind tumor oxygenation.
According to a systematic review and meta-analysisopens in a new tab or window they cited, roughly 26 per 1,000 individuals age 65 and up experience an adverse gastrointestinal event (perforation, bleeding, or cardiovascular or pulmonary complications) and one of every 1,000 die. And the risk for an adverse gastrointestinal event increases to 35 per 1,000 for people in their 80s.
Of nearly 10,000 adults 65 and up undergoing surveillance colonoscopy due to a prior polyp, colonoscopy turned up colorectal cancer (CRC) in 0.2%, advanced polyps in 7.8%, and at least three adenomas or sessile serrated polyps in 8.7%, according to researchers led by Audrey Calderwood, MD, MS, of the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire.
COLONOSCOPIES: Via CNN, VERBATIM: “Colonoscopies are a dreaded rite of passage for many middle-age adults. The promise has been that if you endure the awkwardness and invasiveness of having a camera travel the length of your large intestine once every decade after age 45, you have the best chance of catching – and perhaps preventing – colorectal cancer. It’s the second most common cause of cancer death in the United States. Some 15 million colonoscopies are performed in the US each year. Now, a landmark study suggests the benefits of colonoscopies for cancer screening may be overestimated. The study marks the first time colonoscopies have been compared head-to-head to no cancer screening in a randomized trial. The study found only meager benefits for the group of people invited to get the procedure: an 18% lower risk of getting colorectal cancer, and no significant reduction in the risk of cancer death.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3CO67B6
Colonoscopies reduce risk of death by 0.15%. Also link to colonoscopies debate.
My mother insists in still having her colonoscopies (and cvd shots) despite being pushed to discharge from the clinic despite uncontrollable vomiting from probably fentanyl reaction after a colonoscopy. I save this info hoping my own family could avoid being harmed, but my credibility is shot due to being antivaxxer.
I must share that my mother DID decide not to spay her dog after I dug this up, which, fortunately, was confirmed by the highly expert kennel club:
Dr. Benjamin Hart of the University of California, Davis, has been researching the effects of spay-neuter for a decade, with support from the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation. His first paper on the subject, published in 2013, revealed that Golden Retrievers that had been spayed or neutered had a correlation of being three or four times more likely to develop certain cancers, including lymphosarcoma and hemangiosarcoma, and also more likely to develop joint problems such as hip dysplasia and damage to the cranial cruciate ligament. The team later published data on German Shepherd Dogs and Labrador Retrievers, finding that early spaying and neutering had varying effects on these dogs’ likelihood to develop joint disorders, cancers, and urinary incontinence.
"There were no cases of MCT mast cell tumor in intact females, but the occurrence was nearly 6 percent in late-neutered females." That's pretty serious, and that is just one condition that was studied. Zero cases in the non spayed.
Now, I also have a son who recently went trans and excommunicated me over it. I wonder why it is OK to see that dogs are harmed by neutering, but a person is a transphobic bigot if they ask whether it could harm the young people that we hopefully value more than dogs.
Also, I had bleeding this past year that signaled to the local medical establishment that I be put on the standard of care treatment that goes like this: biopsy and uterine D and C (basically abortion treatment), maybe birth control hormones, and then on to hysterectomy. This is happening to lots of women!
When you start to see the medical machine teleologically drawn in a straight line to death in one area, you start to see it everywhere. Rant done.
Before you go the hysterectomy route, look into bio identical hormone replacement therapy. Many, many women are estrogen dominant and need progesterone supplemented.
If I knew what I know now before I had mine, it would have been a game changer.
I started following and using products from Dr. Platt. Here is his website. https://plattwellness.com
I also recommend a book by Dr. John Lee - “What your doctor doesn’t tell you about menopause”.
We have to be the CEO of our own health. It can be a lot of work, but it’s worth it.
I’m sorry about your son. I’m sure it must be very hard not communicating with him. 😞
I will look into the information you referenced. I stopped bleeding (and having painful joints) when I determined that I would stop believing that my son's troubles are my fault and so helping to punish myself. That stopped the pain and bleeding almost entirely, and then seeing a gynecologist who released me from hanging on for a doctor to fix me. I am not currently interested in having the doctor fix me, so that is a true relief as well. I am concerned that when the summer sun turns to winter that I could have health trouble again. I take great care to wish my son the best health and to find true insight and acceptance for himself. I won't punish myself, and I will stay welcoming and ready, just like when he was still unborn and I had yet to meet him. I will expect good to come, even if the present could be seen as dark, and I will be ready.
I’d try to avoid hysterectomy. I think i read most women who have them end up needing bladder retention surgery within a decade. The uterus is a major support structure.
I've had 2 (3 maybe?) and fortunately no recurrent issues nor adverse effects. However, since age 60 I've become less trusting of many medical interventions, especially preventions. Thank you for the information. I've stored a copy, to research when they next recommend that I get a screening colonoscopy.
Beware of ANY INVASIVE A medical treatment. Even dye dye scans stays in liver, brain and bones for years. They don't know how many exactly they just started using it and MRI is NOT without many side effects. May be useful but beware!
Gadolinium from MRI contrast has now been shown to stay in body and brain for years and is extremely hard to detox from. Do a bit of research before ever letting them inject this stuff into you
Read over a dozen cancer books, some twice. Virtually every one says Do Not ever get a colonoscopy, nor ever remove your prostate. For the latter, something else is going to kill you first. Two of my best friends ending up in a death spiral after having their prostate removed.
The Epoch Times has amazing health articles that cover this and the personal comments are very helpful there too. Like minded people. It’s totally worth the subscription price but some articles are free.
Dr. Vinay Prasad wrote recently about the comparison between sigmoidocopies and colonoscopies. I believe it was over the winter 2023. He's an oncologist.
If you have chronic inflammation, turmeric is really good for that. In order to get enough, though, you have to take it in pill form. It needs to be paired with black pepper oil in the pill, then also take some type of fat (fish oil, coconut oil, flaxseed oil, etc.) with it so your body can absorb enough of it it. Otherwise, it will flush right through your system. This advice came from a friend who had Type 1 Diabetes and struggled with neuropathy in her feet. I had blown out my knee —tore the ACL 95%, completely tore the MCL, and damaged the meniscus—10 years ago (no surgery) and still couldn’t bend all the way down a few years later despite religiously doing PT exercises because of the pressure in my knee. A few weeks after I started taking it, I could bend all the way down with no pain and even sit on my heels on the floor. I still have to be careful of what I do, but I am very active: I hike, swim, bike, garden (even use a shovel when needed), and have been cleared to snow ski without a brace if I wanted to.
An herbalist once told me that our bodies respond better to herbs and plants because our bodies recognize them as food and absorb them better. However, I also learned in college while researching a paper that the top 10% of the most effective drugs were plant-based. In that, the drug companies took a plant they knew helped with a certain health issue, isolated the “active” ingredient, and turned it into a drug. Since you can’t patent plants, they did this instead.
I have a theory about why there are so many side effects from these drugs, even the ones that are “plant-based”. When you take out all of the other ingredients that act as a buffer and balance the active ingredient’s effect on your body, you get side effects, many of which can be deadly or highly dangerous. In other words, Mother Nature knows better. We’ve spent millennia with these plants evolving together. Suddenly, we humans with our hubris think we know better.

Boiron also makes Arnica tablets as well as topical treatments: feel and cream. It works best for bruising when applied immediately after the injury. I discovered it works wonders on bee or wasps stings as well. I carry it with me in my purse.
Healthy food stores carry it and it can sometimes can be found in big chain drug stores for those of us who prefer not to support Amazon.
Read the comments above about other options such as thermography and cologuard. If your eyes were opened to the fraud of the medical establishment during the covid stuff, it is time to open those eyes further unfortunately. There is more to the story.
Stevia is OK? I thought it was so highly processed it was no longer recognized as a healthy alternative? I have so many health notes from this wonderful community I hope I can find them all if needed. 😅
Anybody compile them all into a handy shareable pdf? 😁
I want to thank the C&C army for all the shares yesterday on homeopathy. I have a lot to read this weekend.
C&C is the only thing I read religiously. My health has improved since joining this Substack. ❤️
After reading some of the very insightful posts over the last year, I have decided: no more mammograms, Pap smears or colonoscopies. I use arnica tablets for pain - no more Advil or Tylenol (emergencies, maybe). Thanks to RunningLogic, I don’t worry about my cholesterol in the same way, thanks to his suggestion to Dr. William Davis’s information (I listen to his podcasts). No more Truvia; only pure stevia.
I have more to learn, but I know if I have any questions, I can always come on here and there will be loads of folks sharing their information wanting to help. ❤️🙏
I am with you on this. I have removed myself from the sickness establishment as well. I cancelled my colonoscopy and did a Cologuard instead. I got a breast ultrasound instead of a mammogram. No more yearly visits to the doctor just so they can make money off of me!
I have been doing ColoGuard for 5 years now - I met a fellow brand ambassador years ago at a Best Buy store who shared with me he had been MIA for 6 months recovering from a near death infection he was afflicted with as a result of a botched colonoscopy (by a well-renowned specialist in our area). As the old saying goes, "Doctors bury their goof-ups"!! That REALLY affirmed my early-on decision when I turned 50 many moons ago to NEVER get a colonoscopy as a "preventive" measure.
Sharon,
I read about botched colonoscopies. I had no idea the equipment wasn’t sterilized. They don’t tell you that. 🤬
Doctors TRY to hide things, but they can’t for very long. My mom passed away 6 years ago after a cosmetic surgery. She had surgery on a Tuesday and passed on that Friday.
We are suing the surgeon, not for money, although that’s the only way into courts. We were #19 in now 22 lawsuits against him. My mother didn’t give me his name to research. She didn’t want me to cancel the surgery, which I would have.
We had depositions. The surgeon admitted killing another patient with the same surgery in the last 10 years. So, we got through summary judgment and have been waiting for a trial date since FEBRUARY 2022! Since then 3 more lawsuits have been waged against him for malpractice.
I already went to NYS Office of Professional Medical Conduct to open up a claim to have his license removed. They won’t do anything except hold the complaint until after the case closes. UNFRIGGINGREAL!!
To your point, doctors do try to hide things. I vowed to take this case all the way so no other family goes through what we did. He’s still going strong and revamped his website with all 5 STAR REVIEWS. Crazy, right?
The Admitted #3 cause of death in this country is medical mistakes. Add in cancer deaths, because chemo and radiation kill, and going to see your doctor is easily the leading cause of death in the US.
My husband was one of those incidental deaths. Had lymphoma, had one a half rounds of chemo ( one half because he had an anaphylactic reaction to one of the two meds in the chemo cocktail. had a port placed in his skull to treat the spinal fluid, rather than submit to 3x weekly delivery via spinal tap. Within weeks, he developed meningitis, went into a coma for several weeks, miraculously pulled out ( well, not so much, since I begged prayer from everyone I knew) and the cancer was gone, as in no trace whatsoever. His neurologist told me he thought that would happen, since infection can actually be Mother Nature's cure. Anyhow, fast forward a couple of months, when in spite of the clean remission, his oncologist insisted that my husband take a drug called Revlimid (which is actually thalidomide, repurposed) , as *maintenance* to prevent the cancer from coming back. This was right before covid, so I regrettably hadn't developed the skeptical animus that I now have toward Big medicine and Big Pharma. The oncologist was insistent that he take it because the cancer would come back if he didn't. So ny husband took it...turns out the omcologist must deliver a pre-treatment cocktail to prevent what is called 'tumor lysis', i.e, any remaining cancer cells ( that we all have, turns out) die off and go septic when the body doesn't clear them quickly enough. His oncologist insisted that the cancer had returned, terminally, and refused further treatment. I made an appointment with another university hopsital---this was the Easter weekend---for the Monday morning after Easter. But my husband went into cardica arrest on that Saturday night, and the EMTs agreed to take him to the new hospital. The doctors there did their best, I will admit, to stabilize him and try to bring him out of it, because their assessment was that it was the lysis from the medication, not the cancer that was killing him. He died on Easter Sunday, of an easily and entirely preventable reaction to this *life saving maintenace drug*.
AMEN, Roland! There is a huge hospital in our area (Milton Hershey Med Center) that just built an EVEN larger "citidel to medical misdeeds" (my moniker) only 30 miles from their original "citidel". This is the medical center that Milton Hershey helped to start 80 years ago. Then it really was dealing in HELPING the citizenry--NOT NOW!! I have vowed to NEVER go to the hospital again - for anything!!! If I'm unconscious--or unresponsive--I have plans to have DNR documens sent to EVERY HOSPITAL in my area. I am not wealthy and am on a Medicare "advantage" plan--I do not want what little wealth I have going to the "healthcare" system--I want it going to my GRANDCHILDREN.
Take heart, Randi, that WORD OF MOUTH gets the truth spread better than any "5 star reviews" on websites! This creepy "doctor" will get their punishment--HANG TOUGH!!! Your fight is just and your Mom was "legally murdered"!! I am sorry that she felt the need to have "cosmetic surgery"--even if I had the funds to do that to myself--I wouldn't. I EARNED all these wrinkles just by being a VICTOR in life!!
SBE,
My mom was beautiful, but very vain.
😞 She got a recommendation for this surgeon who butchered her. She had a consult for one thing - her arms - and told me “the surgeon would do ALL the other things FOR FREE!” I have never met ANYONE who does things like this for FREE, but my mother was undeterred. 😞
For 3 weeks I pleaded with my mother to push off the surgery, but she wouldn’t listen. I didn’t have the surgeon’s name to research, but I did after she died. I took a VERY deep dive and found out he owned a small part of a medical research company. So, the WHY he would do something for free became clearer when I knew his company was testing how to dissolve fat. 😳 Why wouldn’t he want the fat from a 74 YO woman to test??!! The SOB got a chunk of the sale that was $465 MILLION! It sold in 2020, mom passed in 2016. Dad passed this past December after getting the booster. 😞
After the surgeon’s deposition, I asked our attorney if I could share it. He said it’s public record. SO. I sent it to EVERY association on his website with a very detailed write up. EVERY one of the associations was too chicken shit to do anything but keep the information “on file” and they said to let them know the upshot of the lawsuit. So, if you think any of theses fackackta professional associations do anything, think again. Board certified means VERY little if they don’t do anything when someone is killed.
I even found out he had a FL license and went to the FL medical board and advised them, too.
I just don’t want this man to hurt or injure another person. He has 22 lawsuits against him and those are the ones that made it past an attorney to file them.
Last thing, it’s a biggie! The insurance company defending him ALWAYS replaces their attorney with the surgeon’s “personal” attorney who has defended him in all these cases. Don’t you think this guy is crooked because I’m sure he is aware of the harm he has caused but still defends him??!! When anyone surgeon gets a judgement for malpractice in excess of $25,000 they become uninsurable. That’s what we want. He would never be able to practice again. And here we are waiting the last 18 months for a court date. I have a serious suspicion that there is some collusion of why we haven’t gotten a court date, but I could be wrong. 🤔
Oh wow!! I’m so sorry for your loss but also so *angry* about this!! So government bodies and licensing entities can spend oodles of time persecuting medical professionals for “misinformation” on shots and masks, but people DIE because of malpractice and botched surgeries and they drag their feet???? 🤬🤬🤬 They’re worse than useless!!!!!
There have been many people infected with Hep C by unclean colonoscopes in the VA. Was a big thing a few years back. I am a retired VA RN and remember this well.
Woa! That's so crazy. Third-worldish.
What surgery was it that killed your mom and another patient? I’m so sorry for your loss!
The instruments used during colonoscopies aren’t sterilized?
Hi Michelle,
She had liposuction in her abdominal area. The surgeon was moving the cannula (the liposuction instrument) very hard (he had a heavy hand) and pierced her small intestines. My mother died of sepsis. My brother and I never spoke to her between Tuesday and Friday. Dad never told us what was going on. If he did, things would have been different.
There were several conversations between my father and the surgeons office after surgery. The surgeon knew my mother was in severe pain as soon as she got back from surgery - Tuesday afternoon. He told my father her pain was normal. He never said “if she is in that much pain go the the emergency room”. In fact he NEVER said those words. And that is part of the lawsuit. In NY we can sue not just for wrongful death, but for the surgeon knowing a patient is in pain and not doing anything. I forget the term right now. Anyway, the surgeon said if she’s in pain tomorrow, give me a call.
Dad called Wednesday morning. Dad told the surgeon “Barbara says she feels like she’s dying”. He said bring her to my office Friday if she is still in pain. Still never said - go to the emergency room.
I know what you might be thinking. Why didn’t my father take her on his own. The simplest answer is - because men in that generation did as the doctor told him. He was lead to believe that my mother wasn’t really in that much pain because the doctor said it was normal. So. He gave her more pain meds. I can’t imagine the pain she was in. I get upset even thinking about it.
Friday morning, my dad had a chemo appt (bladder cancer). He came back to the house to find the EMTs pumping my mother’s chest. They never made it to the surgeon’s office.
It was quite a shock.
The instruments used during colonoscopies are NOT sterilized. They are scrubbed/washed. I found A LOT of info from the NIH, of all places. Crazy, right?
I know an ER NURSE of thirty years who had this happen AND bro in law! It's not so rare!
My mom died of colon cancer and it was a terrible way to go. Colonoscopies every 10 years is not a big deal. I have to get them every three years and do have polyps. These polyps which are pre-cancer would not show up on Colonguard are snipped and this treatment is are 100 percent cancer preventative.
Everyone should think about their situation and risk—like you did. Sorry about your mom. 😢
Yes..my mom had no family history. The AMA moved the age for the first recommended colonoscopy from age 50 to 45. They know thousands of lives are saved by doing this. So I encourage everyone to get their baseline to determine their risk.
Are they pre cancerous? Who told them so? How do they know that? What causes them? Can they go away without severe medical intervention? Cancer is booming. WHY???!!!!
See my note about the keto diet, fasting and hyperbolic oxygen treatments/cures. Internet search scientific info.
There was a obstetrician who delivered a baby, sort of, here in N Georgia. She apparently pulled so hard on the infant it was decapitated! She then wrapped the baby and propped the head on and quickly she showed it to the parents and then convinced them a cremation should be done asap. The mortician reported the cover-up. That should be an interesting malpractice lawsuit. I cannot imagine the horror those parents must have felt.
JW,
OH MY GOD!! That is horrific!! 🥲
Oh my word!!! That is beyond evil!!
Wait, what?! How the ...does someone pull THAT hard to... decapitate?!
That is unreal.
Push the baby back in and do a freakin emergency c-section. Or something.
They said it was too late? I thought the same.
One look at the doctor would be enough to keep me from having her deliver my baby. Here’s the article: https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/lawsuit-accuses-georgia-doctor-decapitating-baby-delivery-102143178
The only photo with this linked article does not include the obstetrician Tracey St. Julian; the only woman pictured with this article is the mother who lost her first-born in this tragic story ... ??? ... where did you get your "look at the doctor," I wonder?
Curious as to what about her would make you say that. I had to search to find a photo of the doctor. What an awful situation.
There but for the Grace of God go I and my children and grandchild
Grow up! What kind of comment is yours? It's unnecessary. UNNECESSARY.
Hope that did not occur at Union General ....
Here's the link.
https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/metro-atlanta-hospital-issues-statement-after-couple-alleges-infant-was-decapitated-during-july-delivery
The hospital where it happened has been a mess for many years. 28yrs ago my sister had her twins there. Worst medical care I'd ever witnessed...like a third world country... Nursing staff was sadly lacking in experience and medical maternity knowledge... Waited for hours on end for basic medical assistance. Never did see her midwife after the delivery. Come to think of it.... reminds me of today's hospitals...
Yup. Done for me. Cologuard. It’s easy. No family history of colon cancer and at 75 this test should uncover it. No regular mammograms either. I’m looking into thermal ones. The ultrasound one hurt like hell.
Ditto, Janet! BTW...I had breast thermography done for 2 years back in 2008-2009. Then I moved to another area and there were no practitioners who performed this type of imaging. It's VERY helpful to detect "change of body temps" in whatever area of the body is scanned with the thermography wand. Totally painless and very reasonably priced back then (I believe I paid $125 for each time the practitioner scanned my breasts. But that person no longer provides that service - it's very difficult to find thermography practitioners and this area is filled with "alternative medical" facilities.
Yeah, colonoscopies are dangerous. They don’t tell you that, but a lot of “routine” procedures are much more dangerous than they let on.
Anything corporate medicine and/or the government "pushes" on citizenry - I immediately RUN THE OTHER WAY! I guess I am also a "contrarian"--along with our beloved Atty. Jeff Childers!
I am definitely a contrarian and do run the other way as well. Much like the government run schools aren’t about education, corporate medicine is not about health, it’s about money. And, yes, I have been cynical for a very long time.
Colonoscopies are a very lucrative revenue stream. Need I say more? And, yes, it’s true that the various components of the colonoscopy equipment are NOT sterilized throughout the day, between patients. Think about that (yuk).
So much of what they do is a lucrative revenue stream.
There are a number of diseases that spread via fecal matter. (One of them is polio.) I wonder if regulations require it, and they just ignore it.
My functional medicine doc doesn’t do those ridiculous Medicare wellness checks as soon as I’m in the office. Regular docs—ka-Ching. I’m refusing the next time I am unavoidably in a conventional docs office. If I get one more health newsletter from my supplement insurer recommending “low fat, tiny bits of red meat and healthy whole grains” I’m going to scream.
‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Wellness checks. Good ways for docs to ignore why people are actually in the office. And nice ways to find excuses to put people on more drugs. 🤮
Wish my mom would see this for what it is.
👆☝️👆☝️This. All day every day.
Remember when we were younger, and no one went to the doctor unless they were seriously injured (broken bone, stitches needed, etc.); or we’re so I’ll their mom couldn’t heal them? No annual ‘well visits’, which are simply a revenue stream as well as a way to sell Rx drugs (Now I call them drugs, rather than medications). And now I view it like this: I can’t name one person I know, who is older, on a number of prescription drugs, and says, “Now that I’m taking all these pills every day, I’m healthier and feel better.” Instead, I see them as being technically alive, but being killed in slow motion.
I have done Cologuard twice now and while it’s not the most pleasant to do, I will take it. I also have not yet done a mammogram (mid 50’s) and my doctor recommended the ultrasound which I am planning to do. She also told me that an ultra is what they do if something is seen from a mammogram so I don’t understand why they don’t just do that first.
June-they don't do the ultrasound because its not standard of care and the insurance companies will not pay for it. As with everything else with medicine and insurance, if its more unhealthy for you, then they will pay for it.
I had it and the pressure they used with the device hurt like hell. My chest muscles were sore. I worry about that kind of pressure just like the mammogram. Look into thermal. There are stand alone places that do it. I don’t know about insurance. I’m willing to pay if I need one though. I see a functional medicine doc now and insurance doesn’t cover it. Medicare does pay most blood tests. The peace of mind and safety I feel there and darn good doctoring is worth the cash to me. I’m now much healthier and just go for bloodwork now. She nor her staff are coV vaxxed.
I quit my job during covidmania and am just milking my 401K (age 58). No insurance except for catastrophic ($10K detectable). So we do cash for everything.
"What's your cash rate?" and turns out lots of health providers like cash payers.
El Rushbo would tell the story of paying cash for medical needs (before his lung cancer diagnosis) and relate the blank stares from the clerks when he told them he didn't have insurance, he was paying cash.
I always questioned why obummer pushed 'mandatory universal health care'. I'm sure he (and many other pols) has profited greatly from that law.
Note- Fidelity Investments lets you use your 401K starting at age 55. That's how we bailed from work early.
I have only had one and am not planning to have any more. I was 47 or 48 for my first one. They said I had dense breast tissue so had me go for an ultrasound to check further and I had the same thought—why not just do an ultrasound??
After my BC treatment, my oncologist would write an order for a mammo AND ultrasound. The ultrasound kept finding things that were nothing, but because they "saw something," I would have to get biopsies so they would leave me be. After a couple of years of this craziness, I asked the oncologist to drop the ultrasound and he agreed. A lot of worry for nothing.
Anna,
The biopsies and the waiting. Too much stress.
I have rethought SO MUCH this last 18 months. I’m s glad to find folks on here who agree and understand.
My biopsie was the absolutely most painful medical treatment I've ever had. Never again without total anesthetic.
I’ve never heard of a breast ultrasound in place of mammo, and admittedly in spite of my personal medical awareness, don’t really understand the dangers of mammography... but you can be sure i’m going to check into it now!
Mammograms use ionizing radiation. That is a danger. Plus the risk of finding things that aren't cancer but require interventions to confirm their benign nature.
There is a concern that the pressure of the mammogram on breast tissue could rupture an existing cancerous spot, spreading it in the body instead of staying encapsulated.
Oh yikes!
I’m not familiar with Cologuard, so I need to research it. But colonoscopy prep certainly isn’t pleasant either.
Basically you send a sample with the kit they provide. Having watched my husband prep for a colonoscopy twice, I’ll take Cologuard!
I’ve heard of cologuard but what is it?
It’s really easy to look up.
Lisa,
It’s an alternative test, non invasive, that can detect cancer cells. I have not done much research on it.
FWIW, the single best anti-inflammatory I have found is celery and fennel seeds, which were discovered by reading Healing Spices: How to Use 50 Everyday and Exotic Spices to Boost Health and Beat Disease Kindle by Bharat B. Aggarwal.
Vonu - How do you use celery and fennel seeds for inflammation? Have you experience reduction in inflammation using these spices?
Several years ago, while working as a temp at a Walmart, I helped unload the truck every afternoon. This caused me to develop 9-10 point pain in my lower left back, where I'd suffered muscle damage from the Guillain-Barré syndrome triggered by the Swine flu shot I'd received in 1976. I'm not sure whether it is the celery or the fennel seeds, or the combination, but the relief was immediate and has been lasting, so the low cost of the seeds makes further investigation unnecessary. I can't prove that the seeds have anything to do with my 3 years of hs-CRP of .4, but it is a nice side effect if it does.
I take one capsule of each twice a day with my other dozen supplements.
They are sold in capsules by Piping Rock, which provides excellent service in their sale.
Where do you get the celery and fennel seeds?
Piping Rock
That's what we did, and much more, after my wife's cancer diagnosis and deciding to treat it holistically, and stop doing the things that cause healthy cells to mutate into cancer cells. do you need to know anything more about mammograms than Astra Zeneca, the maker of the best celling breast cancer chemo drug, invented Breast Cancer Awareness month? Use thermographs, and ultrasounds if you want to safely detect cancer. The rub? Insurance won't pay for thermographs, and will pay for an ultrasound ONLY after getting a mammogram. Thermographs detect cancer many years earlier than mammograms too, because the threshold of detection requires multiples lesss cancer cells to be present.
I just posted this week
My gyn had been accepting thermography for years instead of mammogram… and my last appt she told me she can’t accept them anymore I’d need to get a mammogram
I think just like with vaccines…
The insurance companies are now applying pressure to gyn MDs to make sure women are getting them … monitoring their patients medical Files
And if women in their practice aren’t up to date- they’re applying pressure to MDs
Has some good info and location lookups:
https://iamtonline.org/what-is-medical-thermography/
🎯 re docs being pressured.
Why does your gyn need to "accept" thermography and why would you "need to get a mammogram"? This should be your choice - is she threatening to kick you out of the practice if you don't get a mammogram?
I don’t really know… honestly
I was so shocked she said that… I was just processing it in the moment
It’s never been a problem in the past- prior to covid
I never wanted to do the monogram - something just didn’t feel right about it for me… and it’s why I’ve always done the thermography- out of pocket
I won’t be pressured into that… so if she kicks me out- so be it
But it’s definitely a policy change at her practice
Since covid …
Is it because she’s seeing a huge uptick in breast cancers in her patients - since the vaccine rollout? That could be it also… possible
but it’s a change.
If it's because she's seeing more breast cancers, she should want everyome to go with thermography since it detects breast cancers about 10 years before a mammogram detects it. Must be something about iinsurance companies clamping down - surely has to do with money, but I'm having a hard time "following the money" rationale on this one.
I think she means the doc won’t accept the thermography test results as valid…even though she had done so previously.
Here’s something else I learned recently that may help some of you. I’ve been suffering from allergic reactions from a wide variety of “things” including anti histamine which means that none of the standard allergy treatments can work. At my last allergist visit the nurse practitioner as a last resort suggested I try raw honey.
She told me it has to be raw, un pasteurized, locally produced by a beekeeper in my local area.
As it happens there is one less than a mile from my home. I bought a jar of one of his honeys and took it home.
First of all it is delicious. But most importantly within ten minutes of taking about a teaspoon of it all of my symptoms started to disappear.
Rhinitis, sneezing, runny nose, all the typical allergic reactions to the environment.
It is the closest thing to a miracle drug I ever experienced. Some days I need more than others and I play around with the dosage.
Of course it is sugar with a high glycemic count so if you’re diabetic it could be a problem and I have peripheral neuropathy in my feet and eating sugary foods aggravates that so I say G-d gives and takes away. You have to figure what works for you.
I hope this little essay helps someone. Please share it as you wish
JK,
Local raw honey is definitely good for allergies. Bee pollen, too. I have bought bee pollen and other honey products from Savannah Bee Company.
https://savannahbee.com/
homeopathic apis and histaminum 200c could be helpful to you as well, without the sugar rush. Allium cepa is another good one from sneezing and runny nose watery eyes. . each remedy is only about $10
Thanks. Where do you get them?
Let this blow your mind.
KetoDiet and HyperBolicOxygen treatments
PET imaging studies have confirmed that tumor areas with a high glycolytic metabolism are more radioresistant than those with a more oxidative metabolic phenotype [72, 73].
The decreased tumor lactate concentrations after a few days on a KD in head-and-neck cancer patients measured by Schroeder et al. [81] are of particular interest, as tumor lactate concentrations have been directly linked to radioresistance in a variety of xenografted head-and-neck tumors that were irradiated using a clinically relevant schedule of 30 fractions over 6 weeks [88, 89].
...the combination of a KetoDiet with IR against lung cancer xenografts using both conventionally fractionated (34 × 1.8 Gy) and hypofractionated (2 × 6 Gy) schedules. In both cases, adding the KD to RadiationTreatment achieved the greatest efficacy regarding tumor growth delay and mouse survival.
It is also noteworthy that, in autophagy-competent cells, various forms of mutant but not wild-type p53 were degradable through deacetylation-induced autophagy triggered by glucose restriction in vitro and a low carbohydrate diet in vivo; depletion of mutant p53 subsequently induced autophagy-mediated cell death [115]. These findings support the application of ketogenic therapy along with RT against p53-mutated tumor cells.
An important role for ketone body-mediated protection was obtained from the study by Dorff et al. [132] in which longer fasting duration prior to chemotherapy appeared more protective, yet only BHB, but not insulin, IGF-1 or glucose, were significantly different between 24 and 48 h of fasting prior to chemotherapy. This supports the hypothesis that KDs might be used as fasting-mimicking diets to reduce side effects from oxidative stress during prolonged treatment situations such as during several weeks of RT.
Finally, it is important to note that the human STF studies have failed to reproduce the reductions in insulin and glucose levels seen in the mouse studies because corticosteroids were routinely administrated during chemotherapy [134, 136]. This could have prevented some further reductions in side effects or blunted the effect sizes. More alarming are findings that corticosteroid use prior to RT was associated with significantly shorter overall and progression-free survival in 3 large cohorts of glioblastoma patients [137]. This was linked to a corticosteroid-induced redistribution of tumor cells from the relatively radiosensitive G2/M phase to the relatively radioresistant G1 phase, with maintenance of cell viability. Additionally, the corticosteroid-induced elevations of blood glucose levels would provide a radioprotective environment. We have argued that this could be countered with ketogenic therapy [138]. The proof of principle was provided by Champ et al. [139] who showed that consumption of a KD during RT lowered the blood glucose levels in glioblastoma patients even under concurrent corticosteroid treatment.

Nevertheless, two systematic reviews on HyperBolicOxygen treatment and cancer have concluded that the use of HBO in patients with malignancies is considered safe. To supplement the previous reviews, we have summarized the work performed on HBO and cancer in the period 2004–2012. Based on the present as well as previous reviews, there is no evidence indicating that HBO neither acts as a stimulator of tumor growth nor as an enhancer of recurrence. On the other hand, there is evidence that implies that HBO might have tumor-inhibitory effects in certain cancer subtypes, and we thus strongly believe that we need to expand our knowledge on the effect and the mechanisms behind tumor oxygenation.

COLONOSCOPIES: Via CNN, VERBATIM: “Colonoscopies are a dreaded rite of passage for many middle-age adults. The promise has been that if you endure the awkwardness and invasiveness of having a camera travel the length of your large intestine once every decade after age 45, you have the best chance of catching – and perhaps preventing – colorectal cancer. It’s the second most common cause of cancer death in the United States. Some 15 million colonoscopies are performed in the US each year. Now, a landmark study suggests the benefits of colonoscopies for cancer screening may be overestimated. The study marks the first time colonoscopies have been compared head-to-head to no cancer screening in a randomized trial. The study found only meager benefits for the group of people invited to get the procedure: an 18% lower risk of getting colorectal cancer, and no significant reduction in the risk of cancer death.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3CO67B6
Colonoscopies reduce risk of death by 0.15%. Also link to colonoscopies debate.

My mother insists in still having her colonoscopies (and cvd shots) despite being pushed to discharge from the clinic despite uncontrollable vomiting from probably fentanyl reaction after a colonoscopy. I save this info hoping my own family could avoid being harmed, but my credibility is shot due to being antivaxxer.
I must share that my mother DID decide not to spay her dog after I dug this up, which, fortunately, was confirmed by the highly expert kennel club:
Dr. Benjamin Hart of the University of California, Davis, has been researching the effects of spay-neuter for a decade, with support from the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation. His first paper on the subject, published in 2013, revealed that Golden Retrievers that had been spayed or neutered had a correlation of being three or four times more likely to develop certain cancers, including lymphosarcoma and hemangiosarcoma, and also more likely to develop joint problems such as hip dysplasia and damage to the cranial cruciate ligament. The team later published data on German Shepherd Dogs and Labrador Retrievers, finding that early spaying and neutering had varying effects on these dogs’ likelihood to develop joint disorders, cancers, and urinary incontinence.

"There were no cases of MCT mast cell tumor in intact females, but the occurrence was nearly 6 percent in late-neutered females." That's pretty serious, and that is just one condition that was studied. Zero cases in the non spayed.
Now, I also have a son who recently went trans and excommunicated me over it. I wonder why it is OK to see that dogs are harmed by neutering, but a person is a transphobic bigot if they ask whether it could harm the young people that we hopefully value more than dogs.
Also, I had bleeding this past year that signaled to the local medical establishment that I be put on the standard of care treatment that goes like this: biopsy and uterine D and C (basically abortion treatment), maybe birth control hormones, and then on to hysterectomy. This is happening to lots of women!
When you start to see the medical machine teleologically drawn in a straight line to death in one area, you start to see it everywhere. Rant done.
Runemasque,
Before you go the hysterectomy route, look into bio identical hormone replacement therapy. Many, many women are estrogen dominant and need progesterone supplemented.
If I knew what I know now before I had mine, it would have been a game changer.
I started following and using products from Dr. Platt. Here is his website. https://plattwellness.com
I also recommend a book by Dr. John Lee - “What your doctor doesn’t tell you about menopause”.
We have to be the CEO of our own health. It can be a lot of work, but it’s worth it.
I’m sorry about your son. I’m sure it must be very hard not communicating with him. 😞
I will look into the information you referenced. I stopped bleeding (and having painful joints) when I determined that I would stop believing that my son's troubles are my fault and so helping to punish myself. That stopped the pain and bleeding almost entirely, and then seeing a gynecologist who released me from hanging on for a doctor to fix me. I am not currently interested in having the doctor fix me, so that is a true relief as well. I am concerned that when the summer sun turns to winter that I could have health trouble again. I take great care to wish my son the best health and to find true insight and acceptance for himself. I won't punish myself, and I will stay welcoming and ready, just like when he was still unborn and I had yet to meet him. I will expect good to come, even if the present could be seen as dark, and I will be ready.
I’d try to avoid hysterectomy. I think i read most women who have them end up needing bladder retention surgery within a decade. The uterus is a major support structure.
I am extremely leary of any intervention in my body that I cannot sensibly do on my own.
I love your ‘rant’.
I've had 2 (3 maybe?) and fortunately no recurrent issues nor adverse effects. However, since age 60 I've become less trusting of many medical interventions, especially preventions. Thank you for the information. I've stored a copy, to research when they next recommend that I get a screening colonoscopy.
Thank you for these links Runemasque, much obliged.
Yahoo! Thank you! Great job! Appreciate this!
Great info, thanks!
Beware of ANY INVASIVE A medical treatment. Even dye dye scans stays in liver, brain and bones for years. They don't know how many exactly they just started using it and MRI is NOT without many side effects. May be useful but beware!
Gadolinium from MRI contrast has now been shown to stay in body and brain for years and is extremely hard to detox from. Do a bit of research before ever letting them inject this stuff into you
Yes just found out too late. They don't tell you they are found to do the contrast dye then they set it has no side effects! MORE LIES......infinuim
Permie,
I had NO idea. This is good information. Thank you.
Read over a dozen cancer books, some twice. Virtually every one says Do Not ever get a colonoscopy, nor ever remove your prostate. For the latter, something else is going to kill you first. Two of my best friends ending up in a death spiral after having their prostate removed.
Wow, that's some heavy advice. Much to consider.
Roland,
Thank you for that info. 🙏
The Epoch Times has amazing health articles that cover this and the personal comments are very helpful there too. Like minded people. It’s totally worth the subscription price but some articles are free.
Dr. Vinay Prasad wrote recently about the comparison between sigmoidocopies and colonoscopies. I believe it was over the winter 2023. He's an oncologist.
I can’t take the credit for that unfortunately, but I’m very glad you’ve found alternatives! The C&C Army is the best!!
If you have chronic inflammation, turmeric is really good for that. In order to get enough, though, you have to take it in pill form. It needs to be paired with black pepper oil in the pill, then also take some type of fat (fish oil, coconut oil, flaxseed oil, etc.) with it so your body can absorb enough of it it. Otherwise, it will flush right through your system. This advice came from a friend who had Type 1 Diabetes and struggled with neuropathy in her feet. I had blown out my knee —tore the ACL 95%, completely tore the MCL, and damaged the meniscus—10 years ago (no surgery) and still couldn’t bend all the way down a few years later despite religiously doing PT exercises because of the pressure in my knee. A few weeks after I started taking it, I could bend all the way down with no pain and even sit on my heels on the floor. I still have to be careful of what I do, but I am very active: I hike, swim, bike, garden (even use a shovel when needed), and have been cleared to snow ski without a brace if I wanted to.
An herbalist once told me that our bodies respond better to herbs and plants because our bodies recognize them as food and absorb them better. However, I also learned in college while researching a paper that the top 10% of the most effective drugs were plant-based. In that, the drug companies took a plant they knew helped with a certain health issue, isolated the “active” ingredient, and turned it into a drug. Since you can’t patent plants, they did this instead.
I have a theory about why there are so many side effects from these drugs, even the ones that are “plant-based”. When you take out all of the other ingredients that act as a buffer and balance the active ingredient’s effect on your body, you get side effects, many of which can be deadly or highly dangerous. In other words, Mother Nature knows better. We’ve spent millennia with these plants evolving together. Suddenly, we humans with our hubris think we know better.
Can you tell me more about Arnica tablets?
Hi Pamela,
Arnica can be used for:
Bruising and Swelling Relief, Back, Neck and Shoulder Pain Relief and Muscle Soreness Relief.
I use this brand and you can get it on Amazon - Hyland’s Naturals Arnica Montana 30x. It’s a natural alternative to pain relievers. I use a lot of Hyland’s products. They do work and I know what’s in it. 🙂
Is it something you take everyday or as needed?
As needed.
Boiron also makes Arnica tablets as well as topical treatments: feel and cream. It works best for bruising when applied immediately after the injury. I discovered it works wonders on bee or wasps stings as well. I carry it with me in my purse.
Healthy food stores carry it and it can sometimes can be found in big chain drug stores for those of us who prefer not to support Amazon.
I wouldn't give up on colonoscopies and mammograms. They save lived every day
I'd say investigate real hard. Lots of contrary evidence to the common narrative.
Read the comments above about other options such as thermography and cologuard. If your eyes were opened to the fraud of the medical establishment during the covid stuff, it is time to open those eyes further unfortunately. There is more to the story.
That’s your choice, of course. However, I recommend you read information from a wide variety of sources, so that you are TRULY informed.
Ok. Good idea
DITTO!!!
@RandiG, I learned about the dangers of mammograms but not Pap smears or colonoscopies. Could you enlighten me?
Hi Nette,
Anything invasive like a Pap smear that disturbs tissue isn’t good. Just like mammo that puts so much pressure on a breast and then radiation. 🙄
The instruments used for a colonoscopy are not sterilized. They are washed/scrubbed, but not sterilized.
These are 2 good articles. The first one is very good.

Stevia is OK? I thought it was so highly processed it was no longer recognized as a healthy alternative? I have so many health notes from this wonderful community I hope I can find them all if needed. 😅
Anybody compile them all into a handy shareable pdf? 😁
