Dana White going off on corrupt doctors. I'm glad it's not just substackers who vocalize how bad the medical industry has become. Will a group of docs finally come out against the corruption that owns them fully? We will stand with them.

I’ve moved to holistic medicine, the use of chiropractors (who I previously looked down on) and/or functional medicine doctors. They’re out there you just need to find like-minded individuals who can share what they’ve found. I’d rather pay out of pocket than support the big hospital or healthcare corporations that take orders from Big Pharma and the Federal govt.

If I could just get a policy for major medical, I'd dump my insurance in a heartbeat and take that extra money to pay out of pocket for the healthcare that I actually need. The parallel health system of ethical providers is forming nonetheless, and pressure will be brought to bear with insurance companies because eventually no one will be able to afford their premiums.

Right? We all should have HSA’s and Catastrophic Care coverage. But didn’t ObummerCare put the kibosh on that? Can’t let people get the coverage they WANT! Heavens, no.

I remember it like yesterday when I received a letter from my insurance company informing me that I no longer had coverage do to the passing of "obamacare". I refused to be herded into the socialized medicine corral. It forced me to take control of my own health and I have learned a great deal in that time... Healing maladies myself and helping others to do so, as well. I wish more people would part ways with this malevolent industry. Insurance is just an investment clearing house and a means to destroy the craft of true healing and medicine. Leave it and watch it crumble...

I blame President Obama and the ACA. Before that, one could find catastrophic coverage w/ deductibles of ~$20k, which - compared to one's home plus savings - was a 'small' amount. After that, it was only available to the young.

Insurance Industry is another cause. Along w/ businesses. Phyllis Schlafly spoke at an attorney’s conference (in late 90’s or early 2000’s) I attended w/ my husband. She warned about insurance 3rd payer system distortion of costs.

Originally there was “Major Medical” insurance for the big items; hospital care, surgeries, etc. No co-pays for prescriptions (weren’t as many as today.... for some reason), doc visits, etc. Patients paid reasonable amounts for “day-to-day” care.

Then businesses ran into a job market shortage where they couldn’t find enough workers to fill vacancies. Competition between companies ensued to attract employees within this limited pool of available workers. Hence, insurance added/expanded benefits! Rather than simply the standard Major Medical, offers started including co-pays which meant “savings” for patients. So we thought. The bidding war began...

Luring those new college grads & others revolved around which company insurance benefits were better than others.

Costs started rising: doc visits, prescriptions, etc. No problem... after all my co-pay is all I pay. Insurance pays the rest.

I often wonder if we turned the clock back to Major Medical plans would medical costs shrink to affordable amounts.

Rush Limbaugh discussed the change from Major Medical to all comprehensive on radio.

I’ll recount that another time. This is too long already. (Wish he & Phyllis could have met)

Yes, there are a lot of different ones. I use Christian Healthcare Ministries. It’s only about $255 per month and you have a $1000 cap per incident. Yes you have to pay out of pocket for the first $1000, but you save so much per month. And most people don’t go to the doctor that much. Also, I’m finding my Dr’s are happy to give me a cash price & recommend places for scans/blood work that are cheaper for cash patients. And I live in so/cal.. I have Hashimoto’s pre plandemic so I have to have periodic checks.

I’ve been paying out of pocket for years. When the people came around trying to get others to sign petitions in support of Obummercare, I refused. I’ve pretty much patronized herbalists, alternative practioners, and chiropractors for decades. Only in the last couple of years have they covered chiro. All Obummercare did was increase everyone’s health (or sickness) insurance, and, even then, a lot of people still can’t afford it.

My husband is a physician nearing retirement age. He says the computerized medical records have changed everything for the worse. Medicine is no longer a blending of art and science, using years of experience, but it's simply using algorithms to decide what's wrong with the patient and what pills to give. Young doctors know only this. We have a conservative friend whose daughter is going to medical school. They got into a discussion about statins, and she told him that everyone will eventually be on a statin! That's what her professors had told her, and even though she is a smart, conservative young woman, she believed them hook, line, and sinker.

Banjocat's avatar

Took my mom to a cardioligist. We talked about the prescriptions she was taking. I had (with GPs permission) reduced the statin dose from 80mg to 20mg over several months. Mom was clearly exhibiting some bad reactions to her meds but the cardio doctor didn't want to hear it. This doc insisted that the dose go back up even though her blood work did not indicate a need for that. When I questioned him about the numerous side affects he scoffed and said there really weren't any and then accused me of being "anti-science". I sat there as he tried to make me feel small. He said everyone will be dependent on at least 5-10 meds as they age. I did not argue as that would have upset my mother but I stared him straight in the eyes and he knew... he knew I wasn't going to knuckle under. That was our first and last visit. I have since gotten her off of all the meds but one and she is doing markedly better. I also deploy other health treatments - most recently "earthing" or grounding. Since introducing this into our routine she has shifted neurologically... she can connect to the people around her once more (before she functioned almost as if she had had a lobotomy).

The primary task of an electronic health record (EHR) is so that healthcare systems can capture charges to code and bill for according to (stupid) ICD-10 guidelines. As a nurse, I used to "free text" my history and physical assessment once I'd completed my interview with the patient. Now, everything is "click boxes" which fail to capture nuances gathered in the interview. I have been informed by management that I can no longer free text because "it doesn't capture charges accurately." I refuse to use the computer in front of the patient because I know how it feels when the practitioner stares at a screen instead of looking at and listening to me. This isn't great for my time management, though, and I expect my next visit from administration will be that I'm "taking too long" to complete documentation.

Yes, that’s been going on for many years. That’s why the doc is looking at their screen during the appt. Typing in the symptoms and matching them to a drug. That’s the software they use.

People have to do their own homework. We can't just assume we're being seen by a physician nowadays. Many hospitals have been taken over by private equity firms, and they almost all use "physician extenders" (look up the definition). Physician extenders have a very narrow field of practice. They can treat stable patients who have already been diagnosed by a physician. If your health care provider is not a licensed physician, you might want to first get a diagnosis from somebody who is.

TLDR: You can look up your health care provider's license.

Independent doctors are almost impossible to find now. Insurance, including Medicare, is the lifeblood of a doctors practice. A doctor I used to have had a thriving practice, but it hinged on insurance. When he was 30 years into his practice his office manager retired. He couldn’t find another experienced office manager who could do the insurance- most were “ bought up” by large health care systems. That health care system offered him a deal he couldn’t refuse- they bought his practice,including employees; they would take care of all the billing; and they paid his malpractice- which at that was $20,000. a month. All that plus regular office hours. No on call and no hospital visits. That, plus increased government oversight saying what and how much can be prescribed and for what disorder. He used to be a great doctor, we would sit in the waiting room and we would hear people talk about what a great doctor he was. He’s now in a health care system and he’s still a great doctor but struggles with the new parameters of practicing medicine. I don’t know what we’ll do when he retires.

The issue I have is that the money stolen from my paycheck to pay for Medicare will NOT allow me to use it as I want. Medicare should be a “forced” savings plan that gives you a payout, based on what is in your account, that you can use for medical bills- ANY medical bills. If I want to go to a chiropractor, naturopath or a voodoo doctor shouldn’t matter to the insurance company. Be more like car insurance: choose and pay your premium, use your check for your chosen provider. I’d be good with killing Medicare/Medicaid all together. Too many illegals and suck bay commandos sucking us dry. I’m 69 and remember when only my dad had major medical coverage; the rest of us used home remedies or payment plans with doctors.

I'm not trying to be snarky, as I am as livid as you about the medical bureaocracy these days. I hate it.

I have also been tempted to go without insurance. But for me it is not practical. I live on a fixed, very small, income. I have no discretionary funds.

I had to have a minor, but necessary surgery two years ago.

There is no way I could have paid for that out of pocket. Plus the therapy I needed after.

I do believe we need a change, but the practicality of having no insurance is not an option for everyone. I live a very healthy lifestyle and have for many many years. It does not guarantee no hospital visits.

Way off topic, and a discussion (back and forth) for another space and time, but as a primer, two things.

1) If you were born an American and work in America, chances are you do not have an "income" tax liability to begin with. You do have a sales tax liability when you purchase from a retailer, and a gasoline tax liability, cigarettes, alcohol, property tax and some others as well. But not income.

2) Begin to find the truth here: https://losthorizons.com The bedrock book that details the truth about the obfuscating tax code is titled Cracking the Code: The Fascinating Truth About Taxation in America. It contains the truth. You can purchase it per information on the website. No payment portal there; only payment is by snail mail directly to the author. The author has been persecuted by the government for decades. One guess why. One additional guess why there might not be an active payment portal online.

If you're ready to dismiss this, shaking your head, that's your choice. Some people don't pay income tax. They don't have a tax liability. If you purchase and read, expect to be engulfed by cognitive dissonance. Me, half a decade ago on first read, every fiber in my body rebelled that this (what I was reading) couldn't possibly be true. Deeper research revealed that it is.

This is the HO for conventional medical doctors. I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and mine was completely different and included First Do No Harm.

According to the AMA, the reason it was removed is because conventional medicine has been found to be innately harmful. 3rd leading cause of death in US is medical error.

Great comparison! Yesterday I took my 2021 car to a local shop for the first time since my warranties expired with the dealer. They quoted me $1100 for routine maintenance! I called the service department at the dealership and read off the charges. The local shop lied to me, dealership service said nothing needed until 5 k more miles and then their charge would be $350. When I told the shop that I declined their service I waited half an hour for my car. I did end up telling them what the dealership told me and the only thing they could come up with was we just go by what the computer says. Btw, I’m middle age woman and believe they wouldn’t overcharge a man like that. Don’t call me Karen.

Find a holistic Doc. We did. He's still a licensed MD, but now working outside that system. All out of pocket, but you get real medical advice, and tests ordered that actually provide information to diagnose your medical issues. In all of my years, I have never had an allopathic doctor order any of these tests, if they even know of them. Again, you pay for all of it, but you aren't wasting your time, nor having scrips shoved down your throat.

I suspect this is an older translation from when "mischief" meant something more akin to "trouble" - so the doctor is promising to not do anything that would cause trouble.

I'm in the middle of my own health crisis presently, have been searching for someone to give me a diagnosis for over a decade. What I have is hard to diagnose apparently, but even once they got definitive proof, no one cares. It leads to other issues. Anyway, I was crying to my mother last night. She has her own health issues and it took her years to find out what was wrong. She told me she had been sent to a specialist by her GP and the specialist told her she was just a hysterical, fat, menopausal woman and things would improve eventually. She gave him a piece of her mind, he left the room. She waited. No one came back to the room. After a good cry, she got up and went to the receptionist, said the doctor hadn't come back, no nurse, no one. The receptionist told her she was free to go. Mom told the GP and he removed that doctor from his list of referrals. This was 20 years ago. It's been going on a long time.

I look around at all our problems and think a major contributor is a lack of care and concern about anyone other than ourselves. It's really difficult to find anyone in any industry who truly is invested in the people they are responsible for.

I agree. Obsession with the 'things of this world' and narcissism (obsession with the self and really same thing) is what is eating up our world and running it to self-destruction.

I once had a wife who used to throw fits and yell and scream. Her first husband ran around and essentially abandoned her for long stretches of time. She finally divorced him. One day after we were married, she threw some fit over some nonsense which only made me hop into the truck and drive down the road. I hadn't gotten too far when I turned around and came back. I told my wife that I didn't think for one moment that she was right, but I also told that it was not right for a man to leave a woman alone and especially so with her relatives coming over for dinner in a few hours. I told her that two wrongs don't make a right. And after that, never a fit thrown again. All she needed to know that she would not be left abandoned and that some one was interested enough in her to have her back no matter what. Explanations and pontificating seldom are as effective as what comes with faithfulness and all the spiritual values. Unfortunately, I lost this lady to sudden heart failure in second week of 1998.

We just signed to have some granite countertops installed in our kitchen. We went to three companies for this purpose and nobody seemed interested in us enough to solve our special problem concerning this particular installation. On the fourth try we explained our problem to the sales guy ... and then the owner came out to speak with us. After listening, this guy said he had a prior appointment but that he could come to our house by four in the same afternoon. In twenty minutes time, and going through the troubles, everything was resolved. Why? Because somebody cared enough to take a real interest and some time. And this owner lined up all things that needed to happen including a plumber and the other companies did not. And for less cost.

So yes, very often people just don't care to get to the bottom of things in helpful way.

Hi Danielle. Well then, I confess to being an old guy with with more rear view mirror than forward gaze. And in my brief span, I conclude it is the things we do for others that count the most.

And that the things within marriage, that is to say our families, are the most important things of all (other than all glory to God).

We are all more fragile than we would like to think ... at least the most of us. Therefore, someone in lives having our back is a thing of great assistance.

Hey, I am not always all that great. Just ask De Wife. But forgiveness within marriage goes a long way as long as folks are trying hard to do the right thing. The big difficulty is the culture. Everything in the culture is anti-life, anti-family and anti-God. And if that were not enough, the captured government/military industrial complex, captured media assault us daily. C19 was a biological weapons attack on the entire planet ... and we read daily in comments how this alon smashed our families to smithereens.

Pardon me ... for some reason I am particularly angry at what has been done to us. And a lot of us know that a lot of us would have made better decisions in life had the culture not been steering us wayward our whole lives.

We need to become responsible for our own health... I'm sorry you and your mom have gone through this. I've been walking with my daughter these past 2 years on her health issues. After multiple doctors' visits, some who right out lied about examining her, tons of tests and procedures, and multiple thousands of dollars out of pocket, she has not received an accurate diagnosis.

We've had to educate ourselves, and through trial and error, reading and more reading, have come up with a few things that are helping her feel better. NO thanks to any doctor... I'm beginning to understand why they call it a "Practice"... they practice on us, to see if it works... too many times it's just a hunch and a failure... I CAN DO THAT FOR FREE!!!

It'll be hard to find truly independent docs because most depend on the insurance payments so they have to toe the line at least a little bit, and quite honestly, most people talk a lot but aren't actually willing to pay a doc for their care (a significant portion argue about even paying their copays).

I’ll add though, if you must stay within your insurance providers, just do your research first, so you have a framework in which to think.

Health Care is “free” up here in Chinada. Free means we pay taxes to get what the state wants us to get: a sick care system.

My current doc worked for the military for 30 years and she was discharged in 2021 because she wouldn’t comply. So, she started from scratch and created Unity Health and Wellness in Edmonton, Alberta. They charge a monthly family membership of $60 to have phone access to their nurses when needed and the doctor visits are still paid for by Alberta Health Care (aka free). However, the visits are an unheard of 1 hour! So you walk out feeling heard and cared for. And they have added 2 more doctors so they can help more open-minded folks.

I know some locals who protest that we should have to pay the monthly fee because it should be free, but I assure them the paradigm shift is worth every penny.

So I would routinely pull my mask down and smile at them or make silly faces.

"Sure, a dictator could ban masks with the stroke of a pen. But in a democratic republic, reversing course requires an incremental and consensus-building approach."

Mask mandates were imposed with lightning speed, reversing course from being banned across Europe and in many US settings (like banks) to being required overnight. In a democratic republic. So mask bans could be imposed just as quickly.

What allowed the mask mandates to bypass the incremental democratic process was narrative control that coerced the "consensus." Propaganda and censorship. A global coordinated campaign. From the heights of information control.

The slow, incremental approach is a sort of guerrilla warfare tactic that recognizes the strategic imbalance of information systems. I contend that while fighting the guerrilla war has its value the most important battle of all, the most high value target we must focus on is the information systems themselves. They must be either reconquered or obliterated. The coercive, manipulative and destructive capacity of the current information infrastructure is the most dangerous weapon aimed at freedom of all.

And the mask mandates were the opening salvo against our constitution, was when the long-simmering war against free speech went hot. Masks have always been behavioral science implements, not based in medical science. Mask NPI efficacy has been as a symbol to amplify fear in a population declared to "suffer" from "optimism bias." And symbols are a form of speech, the oldest in fact. And mandated speech is the flip side of prohibited speech on the same free speech coin. Mask mandates have always violated the First Amendment for that reason. And must be challenged on that basis. By court decision and/or disobedience. They are repugnant to the constitution. Anti-constitutional.

Sandy. I agree, but to be honest, I think the last time we actually had adults with language skills was sometime in the 1950's. Most childbearing adults today were educated with a much greater focus on social issues as opposed to basic learning, which used to focus on actual history, geography, math, language skills and the sciences.

In the 1960's my mother was a proofreader for articles written for a Montreal radio station. She had an excellent grasp of her spoken language, English, as did her sisters and my grandmother.

That's because they were born in an Era that actually taught you how to spell, speak and express yourself in an educated manner.

Today, when politicians speak, it's nothing but verbal platitudes.

There's no substance, merely soundbites. And they use them repeatedly until they find better ones. And the masses accept these weasel words as a democratic truth.

My current list includes, UNACCEPTABLE, SAFE, KIND, EXTREME RIGHT WING, DIVERSITY, INCLUSION, EQUITY, CLIMATE CHANGE, CONSPIRACY THEORY, COLONIALISM, WHITE PRIVILEGE, the list goes on. These words and phrases are woven into the very fabric of our political discourse; and politicians and the corporate world use them freely.

And as far as masks go, they are disgusting. No one should ever have been forced to wear one, particularly children. From articles I have read it appears that children born during the so called pandemic, are behind what we would call acceptable standards, for many skills. The possible developmental delay on this cohort, caused by masking most of the population, has unknown repercussions.

Kevin Kiley is a new US Congressman. As a Californian who was driving into his then state house district to attend an anti-authoritarian church during the peak of the vaccine mandates, I can assure you he was steadfast to the cause of medical liberty from the very outset of the pandemic. There was no one more outspoken than he was on the Covid madness and frankly on many other cultural issues as well. He is a treasure. Many of you might already know that, but in case you didn't, I wanted to share this.

Words Beyond Me Janice Powell's avatar

To You, O Yahweh, I call;

My rock, do not be silent to me,

Lest if You are hesitant toward me,

I will become like those who go down to the pit.

Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to You for help,

When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

Do not drag me away with the wicked

And with workers of iniquity,

Who speak peace with their neighbors,

While evil is in their hearts.

Give to them according to their work and according to the evil of their actions;

Give to them according to the deeds of their hands;

Return their dealings upon them.

Because they do not regard the works of Yahweh

Nor the deeds of His hands,

He will tear them down and not build them up.

Blessed be Yahweh,

Because He has heard the voice of my supplications.

Yahweh is my strength and my shield;

My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped;

Therefore my heart exults,

And with my song I shall thank Him.

Yahweh is their strength,

And He is a strong defense of salvation to His anointed.

Save Your people and bless Your inheritance;

Be their shepherd also, and carry them forever.

Yes but she is only attributing a caution because of elevated enzyme levels in the liver. This also happens when you take Acetaminophen, other Rx drugs, even consumption of alcohol.

Thanks for your take on this, Peter.

Having read the book China RX, I think the quality control issue is a valid one concerning everything we put into our mouths these days, pharmaceutical, vitamin, or otherwise. It pays to vet the source of anything as much as one possibly can, e.g., by taking recommendations from trusted sources.

Of course, every substance, such as the ones you list, has risks. As someone who has had hepatitis, I do want to be warned if there are potential liver issues. People don't always read the labels or know how to interpret them, so a forewarning can be helpful.

Agree. Ideally, we would have a compound pharmacy AND indy test (microscopy test of some kind) to validate the Drugs are Pure. One could also do 90% of the alt-protocols and skip the Fen family of Drugs. The Iver drug still looks promising. Does it elevate Liver enzymes? Do C0x-2 inhibitors (nsaids?) I'd have to look into it - i don't know.

Exactly. Elderly friend, 90, has a condition that flares, requires antibiotics to treat. Medical advice is surgery, temporary ostomy bag, reconnection after healing… my friend has a level of dementia and would need skilled nursing care to manage the results of surgery, if she survived. Her children have decided to forego the medical advice and let the antibiotics work for as long as they can. The constant push-back, guilt inducing, “how can you not help your mother” conversations with the doctors are making this situation worse. They also ignore the fact that a failed colonoscopy a year ago left my friend without sphincter control so is in a constant state of bowel incontinance.

My daughter just had a baby last week. She is having a difficult time finding a pediatrician. Most pediatrician's will not accept unvaccinated kids anymore. What I found even more bizarre is in Florida they won't issue the birth certificate without the baby seeing a pediatrician. There is still a long way to go in this battle to give parents a choice. I plan of fighting this battle.

The claim by pediatricians is that unvaccinated kids put other kids at risk. If this is true then what is the point of the vaccines?

Expand full comment
Peace's avatar

Dennis Sheirs - Please recommend to your daughter that she seek out a Family Physician rather than a pediatrician. Even if a ped accepts her, she will face a lifetime of getting vaccinations pushed upon her. The real reason that pediatricians (not the standard "unvaccinated kids put other kids at risk" line) is due to financial incentives. BCBS will pay out $400 per "scalp" ONLY IF they can get 60% of their practice fully vaccinated. So, your daughter and other unjabbed would pull down their percentage and jeopardize the practice redeiving the annual bonus from Blue Cross Blue Shield. Holding the Line with Dr. Funtimes

https://www.mclaren.org/Uploads/Public/Documents/MPHO/documents/HealthPlan/2016-BCN-BCBSM-PRP-Booklet-Final-2015_12_18.pdf

Ever wondered why certain “preventative maintenance” procedures are required? Well, because your provider gets paid and incentivized for it!!!!!

First off:

Image.png

Incentive program. Have a lookie loo at what they pay your provider to do. THIS explains why primary care has a sudden interest in doing a PHQ-9 on all their patients. They make a flat fee $200 just for you filling out that piece of paper!!!!!! Lemme be clear here, in psych, this is not the case. We do not get paid for you doing a PHQ-9. We get zero for it. You can see here that they have a percentage of patients that they want you do each thing for, and how much money you will get for doing so. Mammograms? We will bonus you $100 for every woman you send for a mammo. We will pay you $400 for every child that gets all combo 10 vaccines! Makes you wonder if “preventative care” is truly in the best interest of YOU or just earning your provider money! You could slap a PHQ-9 into every visit packet and thats a cool $200 for every BCBS patient at every visit even if their mental health is fine!

Here is the comprehensive table of all things “preventive care” they wanna make sure you do, because they make money off of ALL OF THEM. Lets look at how much money is made for the provider, and what pharma benefits as well:

If BMI is elevated, they start you on metformin or Ozempic or Mounjaro to lose weight. Of course that is monitored every 90 days so hello office visit kick back!

Daily aspirin for “heart protection”

Mammograms at age 40, which is a pricy procedure for their compadre down the road at the imaging center, and a bonus for the referring provider.

Colonoscopies are a referring provider kickback payment, and a big payout for the GI doc and anesthesia doing the procedure. I am sure there will be a “few” spots to biopsy for “precaution” which adds a lab/pathology charge.

Image_1.png

Digging deeper in a few of these:

Here is the vaccine schedule that will garner them a $400 payout for each pediatric patient:

Image_2.png

They have to vaccinate 63% or more of their pediatric patients age birth to 2. Look how many vaccines they pump into them! 24 vaccines!!!! If you are a pediatrician office, and you have 500 kids that turn 2 this year, and all of them have had their “combo 10” of 24 shots, that will earn the pediatrician a cool $200,000. NOW you know why pediatricians do not take unvaccinated kids! They get dinged and make no money off your healthy unvaccinated kiddo. So when a pediatrician chastises you for not vaccinating your kid, they really don’t care about you or your kid, they just want to make sure they bonus for the year. They have vaccinated kids who miss deadlines, and they have to hit 63% or greater to bonus the $400, so if they require 100% vaccinated only kids, they have wiggle room for the kid who missed the vax deadline by a week to not lose their bonus.

Not health care, but state-centered control is part of birth certificates and marriage licenses. Maybe you've heard or read the stories?

On the former, a registered birth with the state is the creation of a bond. The living human is surety for the bond.

On the latter, there are three parties to the marriage license (a contract): the two spouses and the state. If you visualize the three as a triangle, the state is at the top, the spouses at the base. Explains why if you want out of the contract you have to go to the state (court system) to get a divorce. Profit for the state and the lawyers. They designed the law; why wouldn't they ensure it's to their benefit in some way? None of us were alive in the age when marriages were the purview of the Church, who were keepers of records.

There's way more to it. That's just a teaser to the yet another scam that we don't get an education about.

Babies can live without a birth certificate. The proof is in your grandchild! The problem comes when the child without a birth certificate wants to participate in society. No birth certificate, roadblock after roadblock. Kind of a biggie.

Wonder if this scam will be on the list of scams people wake up to in the unfolding...?

Wisdom teeth dont always need to come out. Just as you all read about vaccines and pharmaceuticals, I have also read about the scams of dentistry.

But wouldn’t it make sense since it requires anesthesia? It would also be risky to go under twice if you don’t have to. Get a good oral surgeon! My son had all four out at 18. They were close to the surface and it was just basically pulling teeth out, not surgery. My dentist did not do it, we went to an oral surgeon.

Do y’all know anything about injectable dental pain killers? I have upcoming dental work and fear there may be nano particles, or even mRNA in the new ones. Any advice on how/where to research this? Or are they still using Novocaine? I don’t want to ask my dentist as she already thinks I’m uptight!

I had some dental work done recently - I found a new dentist to do it all. Looked for someone with "bioidentical" or "holistic" who DOESN'T use fluoride in their practice. I couldn't afford to go to a fully bioidentical dentist and he was far away, but I had lots of questions and asked for names of drugs/fillers etc for my own knowledge and peace of mind. We can't avoid EVERY bad chemical/food/toxicity, but we can be informed and choose wisely. Pick your battles.

My other thought Datagal, is that if you can't have an honest conversation with your current dentist, fire him. Find someone else. Don't be sentimental about using her because you always have. Just because you've used her for ____years doesn't mean you should keep on using her.

Hope that helps!

Sickening that they need more cancer centers instead of, as usual, seeing the obvious. I don’t see any new cancer centers opening in Columbus, but that means nothing. They’d have too much competition from Riverside and The James at OSU, and no one wins a business-fight against OSU.

I don't know what else to invest in, but I'd sure like to hold a paper lantern festival for those who have lost someone to the jabs. You know, where they light paper lanterns and they float on the water or go up in the air? Betcha the news would not cover it. Betcha year one would be about 25 people (people are still too scared to speak up). Year 2 they'd have to call in the fire marshal because of overcrowding.

Rant: I have never understood the push for cancer cure this and that. The run for the cure, pink on NFL players who probably feel stupid, etc. (And how much of that money goes someplace other than marketing or to the CEOs?) Make no mistake, it would be GREAT to have cancer be cured. The problem is not a single dime goes into finding out WHY people have cancer and preventing it. If you prevent it, you don’t need a cure. Simple! That, of course, is never in the equation because cancer in America is a real business… around 175 billion in 2020. I can only imagine what it will be now with big pharma’s jabs causing turbo cancer.

On this board, earlier in comments, @Maui Carrie posted this which I found intriguing. Not saying it's an answer, but sure worth investigating.

https://www.brighteon.com/98818d53-57e5-4a36-b8c7-44c35285da75

Link to series that is mentioned is below video. --

Also, the reporter mentions this website: https://urinetherapy.com/ About halfway down this home page there is a video in which Dr. Rashid Buttar and Dr. Lee Merritt took part. Also mentioned are Raymond Royal Rife and Dr. Stanislaw Burzinsky. If you've done any research on cancer and/or history of alternative therapies all those names might be familiar. --

Note: as I consider what is reported it's hard to wrap my head around. Lifelong indoctrination don't 'cha know. What is talked of as therapy, at this moment as I have been freshly introduced, is rather revolting. But, I am a product of said Rockefeller indoctrination in more than one way. Apparently cultures for long ages predating Rockefeller were on to something way before microscopes and urinalysis and... Cognitive dissonance.

I believe cancer cures that are inexpensive, safe and natural already exist. I know of a couple of them. The problem is, the FDA also knows and labels them harmful.

Look up vitamin B-17 (Laetrile) and apricot seeds. FDA thinks eating a few apricot seeds will kill you b/c it has cyanide in it. Well, I eat 50+ per day, have been for half a decade, still not dead or going to the doctor. What the FDA doesn't want you to know is that the cyanide is encased in a substance that only dissolves inside a cancerous cell, harmless to healthy ones. Exact opposite of the spike protein vax that is harmful to all cells.

FDA even tried to ban IV vitamin C during COVID.

On and on, big pharma's mafia enforcer blocks and attacks you.

Many believe cancer is a deficiency disease whereby the nutrients are too sparse in modern processed foods. Additionally, cancer seems to feed on sugars (i.e. carbs). Go back to eating more protein than carbs...

Entire food pyramid from the 80's and 90's is a chronic illness generating tool...

Reposting this seemingly off the wall notion for the second time. Originally posted on this board by @Maui Carrie. Could it be that Rockefeller did yet another disservice by reframing this cross-cultural, across many continents ancient natural therapy? Honestly, as I posted elsewhere, I'm still having an issue with my own Rockefeller indoctrination. At the moment, only introduced to the idea on this day, I'm still finding the notion of the therapy revolting. I have a lot to learn. On everything under the sun.

I appreciate and agree with what you are saying, so rant away! :) You're dead on. I'd actually heard of apricot seeds and have some, but I have to be honest and say I did not last long with them because they were so bitter. Still have them.

Of COURSE the FDA wants to ban anything that heals, especially something like vitamin C. I know they tried to ban NAC, too, but NAC has use for Tylenol overdoses. Whenever I want to know what to use, I listen specifically to what the FDA tells me NOT to use or is trying to ban. That means - generally - it is very valuable. I follow up on my own, though. I'm glad I still have real books instead of the censored mess the internet has become.

I had a work collogue who cured stage 4 pancreatic or liver cancer, can't remember which now, sorry, by juicing, stopping all sugar, and by getting really, really angry. He was just so defiant. Anger is said to be bad but channeled right, I think it heals.

Yes, food pyramid is a joke. Remember the push for that non-food, toxic, plastic junk called margarine and butter was bad? They push all these heavy carbs, say don't eat meat or animal products, and then Americans wonder why everyone is diabetic. There was this insane food pyramid type thing a while back - Tufts Food Compass -that had the healthiest foods as raspberries and kale (I agree both are good), but that M&Ms, Lucky Charms, frosted mini wheats, and some other non-food GMO garbage was much better than meat, butter, eggs, milk or cheese. I bet you the makers of the new diabetes drugs paid for that to be made. I hate pharma and the FDA.

Ok, now I'm ranting :)

We HAVE talked about how creating cities and suburbs and destroying the countryside has limited most people’s interaction with creation, which also limits their opportunity to connect/ponder the Creator, since the creation speaks of Him.

I was speaking to a 60 something man day about how not simple life has become, and he said that he was thinking about taking up meditation in the morning like some of his friends do. He asked me if I do. As I realized that we were from different mindsets and faiths, I didn't get into prayer, but I did tell him that my morning 'meditation ' was walking my dog and looking around at nature and calming my mind while practicing being grateful. (in essence, I pray while in the silence and beauty of my south Florida neighborhood landscape). He looked at me strangely and quickly disappeared from my sight not even saying goodbye even though we had been having a lively conversation. Hmmm..

I love this verse and its implication. His creation (us) can understand Him because He made them. His very creation of us imparts understanding because we are connected to our Creator's mind. We can have clarity; we are without excuse. It is condemnation to those who reject God but it is validation and redemption to those who believe.

What the Gods of Commerce and Banking have done is to create a Virtual Realty in which 'they' decide what to push, not any organic market mechanism driven by real demand by real living, breathing people.

I'm not sure about the soul/mind link, but the pineal gland is definitely the connection to higher spiritual worlds, which is why modern medicine has done everything possible to corrupt it's function.

The Bible says, "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?" Paul speaks of doing things he knows he should not whole neglecting the things he knows he should do. The mind is capable of logic and reason - intentional thought. The heart feels, sometimes truthfully, sometimes deceitfully. Guard your heart and you mind.

In my own life, I have found that if I trust my heart, which is usually the first part of my being to respond to whatever life throws at me, I usually go astray as my passion pushes me in one direction or another, urging me to act hastily. If I can calm my tempers and walk away from a situation, reflecting on it in quiet, I almost always come up with a different, better, response.

I have come to learn what is meant by having a "circumcised heart." His Word and His Law written on a circumcised heart enables one to do His will, through the Holy Spirit, and without the interference of the flesh. E.g., not reacting out of fear to COVID psyops because of "fight or flight" that is rooted in one's flesh.

We can put on the righteousness of Christ the moment we are tempted, and BEFORE we sin. In this way, we are not practicing "legalism" when we obey His law. We are obedient through HIS righteousness.
