Hey doc - Tom Haviland and I are so very grateful that you've published the results of our survey. More evidence to blow the lid off all of the lies.

FYI doc - we’ve got an embalmer running the same survey in Canada. I copied our survey for them and revised to reflect their provinces. Unfortunately due to the very long hours they are working, they do not have the time to devote to this effort like Tom and I did. I’ll keep you updated. They have two responses so far.

Great work! Citizen activism at its finest!

The straight forward survey gives voice to the embalmers.

Why wasn't this done by the CDC, Public Health Agencies, Cleveland Clinic, etc.?

We know why. The establishment wants the adverse events to go away.

Tom – great survey. I note that around the same proportion said they saw no increase in both jelly clots and fibrous clots – but the jelly clots were associated with Covid and surely did increase, suggesting that these are the respondents who were either not paying attention or giving the on-narrative answer. Can you confirm to what extent it was the same people who didn't see either?

Good work, big ups!

Thank you so much Laura and Tom! This is great work! You are both heroes!

Do you have any info on % of embalmers that have seen either the white fibrous clots or the jelly clots by region or state? And also by urban, suburban, rural? I’m wondering if there’s a correlation of certain batches sent to certain areas (I.e. I’ve heard the deadliest ones were sent to “republican” counties). Thank you!

Expand full comment

Great question, Andrea. There just wasn't enough persons responding to accurately determine if there was any "regionality" going on with the clots. I believe that I saw embalmers from all regions of the U.S. who say that they seeing the clots, AND embalmers from all regions of the U.S. who are saying that they have not. -Tom

Step One: They released a virus. Step Two: They ratcheted up the worldwide fear campaign. Step three: they locked everything down, driving people into isolation. Step four: They shut down effective early treatment options. Step five: They provided the solution - the sacred miracle elixir, which they said would stop the spread. Step six: They censored any contradictory evidence/viewpoints from experts and otherwise that challenged the official state narrative. Step Seven: They mandated the sacred miracle elixir to keep your job, resulting in about 66%-70% of the populace (depending on what source you believe) taking the so-called cure. They created the problem. They created fear and hysteria. And they provided the "cure." Unfortunately, the cure was really not a cure. They lied.

I'm going to finish that list for you.

Step Eight: The truth starts to leak out.

Step Nine: Normies start to panic because they realize they may have signed their and their children's, and most people they care about's death warrants.

Step Ten: Normies start to go after elites in sporadic incidents, one of which either results in, or nearly results in, serious physical harm or death.

Step Eleven: Elites panic, attempt to cover up/shift blame/flee, indictments are issued.

Step Twelve: USD soars as capital flows to the the only "safe haven", first arrests begin.

Step Thirteen: USD collapses, many elites become poor overnight, alternative stores of wealth soar as many elites frantically attempt to convert their wealth into something portable.

Step Fourteen: The truth finally comes completely out, the West starts the process of rebuilding, elites are arrested or on the run.

Step Fifteen: A new golden age dawns on humanity, started off by a new reality show: "Hunting down our former elites", participants are rewarded with a cut of the criminal's ill gotten gains, and their fortunes are used to fund rebuilding.

I want the timeline where aliens get mixed into that!

Consider Gary Peter Carlson's pendulum dowsing on souls. Yeah, he sounds ludicrous.

But. It explains a lot.

Humanity have different soul types. Some souls have no empathy for others. Most of humanity have souls that do have empathy for others.

These no empathy souls are in a tiny minority of the worlds population. But they've been seeded into a race that is known for ingenuity, ambition, exploration, inventiveness, & they've been able to attain positions of power, influence & control for a very long time.

It's basically the situation as presented in the well known movie John Carpenter's They Live (1989). Or maybe even the 80's tv science fiction series V.

Combine Gary's views with Miles Mathis' geneology work which points to the seafaring Phoenician race as the reason for the worlds main problems, & there is your answer.

Aliens they are, in a matter of speaking. Sitchin's The 12th Planet goes into some detail, although he apparently was one of them.

It also may explain why modern science has been so steered towards a molecular vision of life, discarding or not having any use for anything of a "spiritual" nature, because this may be the reality & it would unmask them.

You know - I would love to see/hear/read a summary of Miles Mathis' work - I went to his webpage, and some of the .pdf's would load - but - the organisation of his page is such that I don't have 20 hours to delve into it. Can you point me to a precise summary of his views?

There are commentaries on his work all over the place, but none I would suggest as a summary of his genealogy work, at least not that I've seen yet.

If only this would really happen, one can dream. The "elites" also run the government, military, and media, and anyone "going vigilante" will be rounded up as "domestic terrorists" and crushed by the same system that pushed the covid scam. Why do you think the Jan 6 drama keeps getting rehashed, it is to discourage anything even remotely close from happening. Those trespassing "insurrectionists" remain in captivity with all their legal rights nullified.

But I do appreciate these optimistic steps.

Half of the Davos attendees decided to participate by video instead to avoid the PR fallout from attending in person. Klaus is just a figurehead who takes orders like most leaders.

Some signposts that would really persuade me that something is "happening": Fauci, Birx, Francis, and the medical health cabal are arrested for covering up covid and pushing fraud on the public; Pfizer and Moderna lose their liability shield and get sued to oblivion for fraud and causing public injury; the mainstream narrative becomes "the shots can be dangerous and can cause severe harm; masks don't work; PCR testing is a scam" and is blasted 24/7 is every public and online arena, just like the "safe and effective" message has been pushed.

I think the Deep State paraded him out on purpose for that unusually long and rather complicated walk.

What people are missing here, and it concerns me, is that the cabal wants us to know about Covid and the vax. They hope people will start a war against their governments and further foster the ruin of society. Then the cabal will introduce the Great Reset as a solution—once society is completely on its knees.

The FBI and their establishment politicos typically exploit people and situations rather than create them. They exploited the peaceful protest on January 6 with a plan they implemented with the help of Pelosi and some Republicans. Barr was a quiet planner, perhaps by omission.

They had a successful run in Charlottesville in 2017 that also resulted in arrests of good men who were there to fight for freedom.

The abortion protester arrests are in the same pattern.

They created the domestic terrorism meme just as they created the Russia interference meme to stop the peaceful revolution.

5. Sirens blare non-stop enhancing the fear. Stay home the food trucks will come.

6. The food trucks don't come. The pantry is looking bare. CNNBBC - we know it's difficult but the trucks will be in your area on ____. Guaranteed. Stay home - there is no food in the super markets - the supply chains are ruptured. The government will help you.

7. A few radicals venture out and try to kill cats to feed their families. The snipers shoot them dead - this plays on CNNBBC as a warning to others.

There are 4000 Spent Fuel Ponds Around the Globe…

If you don’t cool the spent fuel, the temperature will rise and there may be a swift chain reaction that leads to spontaneous combustion–an explosion and fire of the spent fuel assemblies. Such a scenario would emit radioactive particles into the atmosphere. Pick your poison. Fresh fuel is hotter and more radioactive, but is only one fuel assembly. A pool of spent fuel will have dozens of assemblies.

One report from Sankei News said that there are over 700 fuel assemblies stored in one pool at Fukushima. If they all caught fire, radioactive particles—including those lasting for as long as a decade—would be released into the air and eventually contaminate the land or, worse, be inhaled by people. “To me, the spent fuel is scarier. All those spent fuel assemblies are still extremely radioactive,” Dalnoki-Veress says.

It has been known for more than two decades that, in case of a loss of water in the pool, convective air cooling would be relatively ineffective in such a “dense-packed” pool. Spent fuel recently discharged from a reactor could heat up relatively rapidly to temperatures at which the zircaloy fuel cladding could catch fire and the fuel’s volatile fission product, including 30-year half-life Cs, would be released. The fire could well spread to older spent fuel. The long-term land-contamination consequences of such an event could be significantly worse than those from Chernobyl.

http://science.time.com/2011/03/15/a-new-threat-in-japan-radioactive-spent-fuel/

Japan’s chief cabinet secretary called it “the devil’s scenario.” Two weeks after the 11 March 2011 earthquake and tsunami devastated the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, causing three nuclear reactors to melt down and release radioactive plumes, officials were bracing for even worse. They feared that spent fuel stored in pools in the reactor halls would catch fire and send radioactive smoke across a much wider swath of eastern Japan, including Tokyo.

https://energyskeptic.com/2017/the-devils-scenario-near-miss-at-fukushima-is-a-warning-for-u-s/

The Chernobyl accident was relatively minor, involved no spent fuel ponds, and was controlled by pouring cement onto the reactor. This was breaking down so a few years back they re-entombed.

Estimates of the cancer burden in Europe from radioactive fallout from the Chernobyl accident

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16628547/

However, many of the radioactive elements in spent fuel have long half-lives. For example, plutonium-239 has a half-life of 24,000 years, and plutonium-240 has a half-life of 6,800 years. Because it contains these long half-lived radioactive elements, spent fuel must be isolated and controlled for thousands of years.

For some, isolation led to fixation on the mainstream media fear narrative, but for others of us, the isolation and boredom led us to research a lot of things that we didn't have the time or awareness to do before.

So… now we have a new precedent where vaccine and drug studies are “completed” without control group. Follow the science" and "speed of science" means skipping the scientific process? OK. And if we are “following the science,” then why did former CDC director Robert Redfield receive death threats after coming to think the virus came out of a lab, not zoonotic See DailyMail, https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9649771/Ex-CDC-director-received-death-threats-said-believed-COVID-19-originated-lab.html Fox, https://www.foxnews.com/health/ex-cdc-director-redfield-says-he-received-death-threats-after-mentioning-lab-leak-theory or the UK’s Sunhttps://www.the-sun.com/news/3014724/cdc-robert-redfield-death-threats-scientists-covid-wuhan-lab/ (most of the bought and paid for US fake news ignored this, of course.)

Why did Redfield also tell Vanity Fair “I was threatened and ostracized because I proposed another hypothesis… I expected it from politicians. I didn’t expect if from science.” (Maybe he should have reviewed Thomas Kuhn’s seminal Structure of Scientific Revolution.) This reminds me of the late global warming skeptic out of Univ. of Winnipeg, Dr. Tim Ball received hate mail and death threat, like Redfield, with such messages as, "If you continue to speak out, you won't live to see further global warming…" Both faux global warming and Covid research is supposed to be about "science." Really? Writes Ball: It's hard to imagine Niels Bohr responding to Albert Einstein's letter questioning quantum mechanics with a statement like: ‘If you continue to speak out, you won't live to see further quantum mechanics...’" and then added it is “Only a false religion needs hate mail, threats, courts of inquisition and Hollywood movies to sustain it.”

There is no way to predict how humanity would be affected...yes a few might die, but how would you know everyone wouldn't die?

The bioweapon was optimized on the Chinese and released there by the US to weaken China. The problem is that population is susceptible because of low vitamin D levels due to cultural sun avoidance, and it turned out the virus is extremely weak against vitamin D.

Once it made it over here it didn't work as well on the US population due to higher D levels and the natural tendency of viruses to become less lethal with each iteration. They tied to amp up the deaths with respirators, Remdesivir, and other treatments that would make people die rather than live (also they media assassinated effective things like Ivermectin, Zinc, D, C, etc.).

Add 'on purpose'...

Expand full comment

The worst case scenario came to pass: the leaders in office decided to USE their powers for ill purpose.

The vaxx mandate was a bold step, but if one looks at this from their viewpoint, it was the best possible move they could have made--for their cause: it made the mass populace a stakeholder class in the cause.

What does that mean, exactly? It means that regular folk buckled under the order/pressure to comply because it came from their national leadership and via channels of law. For that reason alone, most complied. That it was illegal/immoral didn't matter; it came from the top, and people are conditioned to obey. Having complied, they are going to be RESISTANT to accommodate any criticism of their collective act. That includes physicians who faced ridicule for even speaking up with expression of simple doubt. They checked their voices, they put their autonomy in a lock box.

Now that 2/3 of the USA has acquired membership in a class, they can be expected to act very similarly in a number of ways. They first are victims of leadership's bold tactic. Their health was sacrificed for some stupid reason or myriad reasons, none of which are worthy of the cost. But, that's how activists roll: they affect others' lives for the sport of being a meddler. Now, they have consigned multiple millions to degrading health if not imminent death. Anyone in that position is going to have conflicted emotions, probably the first and most pronounced being denial. Don't expect to have them even WANT to hear about adverse effects.

Expand full comment

I never bought the conditioned to obey explanation because it makes good people out to be stupid followers. I know many idiosyncratic critical thinking people that took this thing. They took it because they are successful, educated people who live in the regular world and make their livings from those regular systems. They are teachers and doctors, engineers, and municipal workers. They are people who tend to trust conventional wisdom and medical authority. The alternative is that we have chaos. Their tribe was promoting the jab. Their tribe hated Trump. Their tribe are some of the best and brightest people in the world. The problem is the corruption of systems over time so that they can no longer be trusted to create healthy outcomes for people. They are broken because of profit incentives and because of ideological delusions. The enforcers of their systems - FBI, CIA, local authorities have been corrupted. Ours is a failing system that is now populated by compromised and ineffective leaders (and doctors). Instead of trying to exploit our grand conspiracy, elite, taking over the world explanatory theories we might have more success taking a more practical approach with these normies. Hey, you stupid sheep! is not going to sway them. Do you now understand how fucked up our world is? might work better.

Expand full comment

Which is it? Are the best and brightest who took the jab the best and brightest, or did they just look left and right, see their tribe lining up, and so they lined up as well? Or, did they overthink it compared to the resistant sheep and come away with an enlightened understanding that the jab was very good, despite that the enforcers already said it was?

What many otherwise discerning people did was to buckle to the pressure. They were faced with "it's a just a stupid shot like you've taken a dozen times before. Are you really going to be dumb about it and lose your job or be the super-spreader that infects hundreds?" And, they decided that it WAS just a shot, and that doctors wouldn't be united in favor of it unless it was legit, and the smart PhD down the way did it and said only idiot anti-vaxxers deny science and truth, SO, they took it.

In 2002, I moved to Australia from the midwestern USA. It was an upheaval psychically and emotionally, and I had a vision/dream within 6 months of my arrival here.

In this dream (which had the clear, crisp qualities of vision, Gates of Horn), my dearest, best friend (who is also an MD/family practice) came to me with a syringe. The rest of the world had taken this injection, she had taken this injection, and she forcefully injected me. In the dream/vision, I felt my soul dissolve.

Fast forward to 2020, she has indeed taken the injection. One of the finest diagnostic medical talents I know, wasted on corporate medicine, in spite of her advanced functional medicine training. I'm 10,000 miles away, she cannot forcefully inject me. But I feel the pressure from other loved ones in my life. I will likely never speak again to my siblings, for example.

When we discussed the shot, I said no, don't take it. In Jan 2021, she still had a choice (her employer went through lots of switchbacks with mandates). She said, "well, I don't' want to get COVID!" - already, she had been suffering through hours of PPE donning for infectious control - 2-3 hours a day donning her suit & equipment (she sent me a photo, it was definitely intrusive!)...so she had hopes that the shot would relieve her burden somewhat.

Bottom line, compliance is not an indicator of intelligence. Or even compassion. It's just a measure of compliance, and every human has their price.

Compliance is an indicator of lack of self confidence and self respect.

Call it what one wants, there are those who would go down fighting/fleeing and there are the vast majority who bend the knee.

A free people deserving of the raw liberties of the gift of life would never allow the first mandate to touch the ears of the temptable, lest it run like a wildfire.

Mattias Desmet said this version cohort of Mass Formation skewed more intelligent than other cohorts although intelligence does not seem to be an important independent variable for this phenomenon. I know people that took the shots for all of the reasons you mentioned. I believe it is quite reasonable for people to conclude that if an entire establishment health system thought the shots were great that they probably were great. That would appear to be the normal position. There is nothing wrong with people that made that decision. I believe most of the people that decided on the shots and most of the implementers believed they were good and they would work. Others hoped. Only a few sociopaths probably knew the truth.

Don’t have any recollection of being polled by a Mattias…

Nothing “wrong” with people choosing, nothing at all.

It is entirely reasonable to conclude that vast numbers of people looked to authority and did their bidding.

But, provide a robust rationale for the following behavior at the HIGHEST levels of those in the know: HCQ and later ivermectin were blackballed in the midst of a “no known treatment pandemic”. There wasn’t a “try what you like and let us know how it worked out” accommodation for those AT ALL.

How is that?

Remember, the pharma trials stated that their objective for success was “reduction in severity of Covid symptoms”. Full stop. No mention of transmissibility effect.

In light of the above, there is NO defense for curtailing choice—none.

So, what rationale, what defense, for those in the know?

Grapple with that question, and the answer screams at you.

People were told the shot was 95% effective in stopping infection and transmission. They were told the shot would end the global pandemic. In late 2020 people were rejoicing that science had found a cure and they could get back to their regular lives. Tribal loyalty had a lot to do with it. The Left tribe was 100% lined up in support of this remedy from doctors to public health people, virtually every mainstream journal, all of their trusted media, college professors, the Whole Foods checkout girls, everyone. That is what makes what the decision-makers did so criminal - the ones that knew or should have known this thing was poison and did it anyway. We still do not know who those people are by the way.

My strategy is to use this event to help these people understand that they should now not trust anything that comes from the Establishment Left, or the pharmaceutical companies, or the military, or the major media, or any mainstream source whatsoever. Calling them stupid sheep does not seem to help in that regard, although maybe it would. I just have a hard time being that judgmental toward people who were just living normal lives.

Substack has replaced the academic journal establishment (not to mention the journalistic establishment).

About one year ago, a major study on COVID injection effectiveness was published by a major academic publisher. The authors were professors of public health at two of our top universities. They studied COVID injection rates and new COVID case rates in dozens of countries. Their conclusion was that the injections, sadly, do not decrease the rate of new cases of COVID.

I looked at their graph, downloaded their data, and analyzed it for myself. I could not believe what I was seeing. Their data did not show merely that the jabs were ineffective; indeed, the jabs had negative efficacy, meaning that increasing jab rates were followed by increasing new case rates. The results were extremely statistically significant.

This was an elementary conclusion within the grasp of any first-year statistics student. Could the authors not be aware of it? This would change the narrative dramatically! They could PROVE that the jabs were harmful to protection from new cases of COVID. I had to let them know!

So I did. I wrote to one author. He refused to reply.

OK, no problem. I wrote a very brief, dispassionate letter to the editor of the journal that published their paper, observing that their data supported a far stronger conclusion than they were willing to state.

The journal wrote back very rapidly; that is unusual in academic publishing. The editor told me that not only would they not publish my brief letter, but they were able miraculously to determine that every single other journal in their global empire of journals (this is one of the top publishers) would not publish my letter either.

I was able to find a much smaller and friendlier publisher, so my paper is in print, but obscure. And my college knows I have another publication, without, of course, ever having read the content.

The graph of disruptiveness in academic journals speaks to me poignantly. I feel like I am at the lower right corner staring at a sign that says, "You are here."

This is a VERY important comment. The substacks and blogs are providing important health information that is denied by the establishment. AMD - A Midwestern Doctor replied to a comment on one of his substacks that he suspected that the loss of trust in intuitions from the Covid-19 debacle would be worse than from the VietNam war.

The corruption is extremely, deeply being done right out in the open. The good news is how many people have taken much more interest in their own health.

And just this evening I learned that my wife has taken the bivalent booster. I have been following this issue and told her many times to take no more mRNA shots. She is very well read - could be as many as two dozen books on pandemics over the years. This is just one aspect of her wide reading and thinking about health.

For us liberals, and some others, Trump was an indication of how far the country had gone from what we considered the core principles of our government. The overreaction by people to Trump, and the TRUTH of science, and the FEAR led most people to go along with the program. Just this evening I met a law professor who did not know anything about the problems with mRNA vaccines. Parallel universities.

I will never look at doctors the same way again. The political parties will face turmoil as this story continues to unfold. "You murdered Grandma" is not a good slogan to be yelled at a politican.

I truly believe substack and writers such as MWD have saved lives. I’m counting myself here. I have learned so much from comments as well. The truth here has set me free in so many ways. Yes, Trump is still doing things to liberals brains and the other side as well. I don’t think about him much anymore even as a former liberal. He was just a cog in the overall plan. Useful idiot to TPTB and the uniparty. I deeply distrust the medical system and that began in 2011 when I learned about true healthy nutrition and the lies that took over. Now I know something about the entire systems that are fooling so many—mind body and soul. This knowledge is gold.

Hi Don: Some great comments. See my appeal to pragmatism above. I totally agree with you that anti-Trumpism was THE factor in all of this. Great, smart, critical thinking people went along with this jab because it was not Trump. Most did it because it was important to belong to a community of good people, not because they are sheep. They firmly believe Trump is an awful human being who is antithetical to their values as Americans and humans. I would argue this turned into a derangement syndrome for some of them. They are still in it. It is not because they are conformity cultists. They are good people. They just believe Trump is that bad and virtually everything was justified to get rid of him - even fixing an election or allowing people to die from a medical intervention.

If you know people who are okay with millions of people dying to get rid of Trump, then I feel badly for you and question the people you pull into your circle.

That is the most absurd comment I’ve seen on Substack to date. And yet you claim they are “good people.”

People who would gladly see millions die or have an American election stolen to get rid of Trump—or anyone for that matter—are not good people. And the fact that you are defending them says so much about you.

That was the immense power of tribalism and Trump Derangement Syndrome. Trump is the most hated man in history. Hating Trump is a sign of virtue, even for many Republicans. They believe the coup to overthrow him was justifiable because they believe he was a madman.

They remain in denial about the dangers of the shots and the election because they must in order to maintain any integrity. Mass Formation protects their ego from disintegration. They believe the science available at the time lead to prudent decisions by authorities. But I agree with you that as difficult as it will be, it can be transformative for the world if we make these people understand what they did by going along with their tribal instincts, especially after the dangers of the jabs became known in early 2021. Good people on the Left must come to understand that they are hitching their wagons to delusion and tyranny. They want to be virtuous and they want to belong to a community of good people. We need to turn that upside down for them.

I will never shun my children but I have shunned every other person who participated in this scam or continues to participate in it by being in denial or worse, still advocating for the jab. When they wake up I will gladly renew our relationships.

It's a shame folks like Stu Peters and Jim Hoft have to be so sensationalistic, sloppy &/or dishonest, when the truth and Ockham's Razor explanations are amply compelling. Almost like they want to discredit the truth and less outlandish explanations by mixing them with crap. We condemn yellow journalism in the Mainstream Media, so why should it be acceptable elsewhere?

e.g. Hoft fabricated a quote by Archbishop Viganò, printed it as a big bold article title, claimed it was in a speech. No such quote is in the transcript published by Viganò, and his rep denied the quote. And Peters had crap on his site about "self-aware nanobots" in the vaccine.

I learned long ago to never trust a single source for anything. The censorship by the search engines is making verification of anything difficult. One does have to learn who is more reliable.

That said when I was listening to Stew Peters, It was because at the time he was about the only source out there with daily messages sounding the alarm. Of course he has a lot of BS, but there was always a kernel of truth. Stew had an early story about an emergency landing because of a pilot collapsing that wasn't verified. This week we learn from Steve Kirsch that the FAA quietly changed the criteria so pilots with some evidence of heart damage can still fly.

Maybe a better example: Stew covered the deaths of two children when a sports area filled with them was jabbed. I was never able to verify those deaths. Either Stew Peters got the story wrong, or the Australian government covered it up. If no children were harmed, they would have been broadcasting the good news and ridiculing Peters. My take away: governments will kill children and cover up the story. I still cannot verify that story. Today the sub-stacks are filled with stories of corrupted government databases. They are killing children and babies and covering it up. The only reason I no longer listen to Stew Peters is he only has the the one hour show and not the 10-15 segments and I just don't have the time to get through the nonsense.

Stu's delivery is pretty hard to take. His language is inflammatory, hyped, very off-putting. And the lies are there - but hard to pick out. (I think my big one was the snake venom business, after that I was done with him)

However, as an Australian, I can confirm that in Sydney, they sent tens of thousands (16,000 - all voluntary, appointments made) of children - unaccompanied, no parents allowed ("helpers" - teachers and nurses - took care of the children) - to a stadium in Sydney for a mass jabbing event. I can confirm the jabbing event. Snopes says it wasn't forced, the Aus Gov't says it was for ages 16-18, and "voluntary."

(NOTE: Aus kids are probably much more highly jabbed than USA kids. Nearly every child I have met has had at least one jab.)

I cannot imagine that such a mass event would have no side effects. But of course, we don't hear about them.

Yep. No doubt the more subtle BS is much harder to catch. You're doing a great service. Thanks.

A year or so ago, I got suckered by an article on Stu Peters' site, allegedly by Dr. Zelenko and someone else, which mentioned "self-aware nanobots". Somehow missed that bit and forwarded it. When I read it again, I recall noticing a couple other sketchy claims too, so I sent a retraction and mea culpa to my list. Then I got attacked by an alleged "Libertarian", who claimed it discredited everything in the article, and me. Went back and forth with him a couple times. Wished all "anti-vaxxers" death, etc. Gee, I hope he's fully vaccinated! Trust the Science!

So I won't waste my time watching Died Suddenly, let alone forwarding it, or anything else done by Stu Peters. I don't like being a useful idiot for psyops and yellow journalists. Also can't stand the permanent Anger Man face/voice/style, though it was funny in Mystery Men.

Then there's the hoaxes that are so obviously fake or suspicious, you wonder how lame someone has to be to forward them. I'm sure you've seen the models: An email tirade on one or more issues and "solutions", attributed to, say, Clint Eastwood. Or a George Washington quote that looks a bit too cute and modern.

You’re already in a leadership position whether you want it or know it, but I understand.

In traditional Chinese medicine, the color and consistency of these "clots" would likely lead to a diagnosis that included phlegm stagnation. Phlegm in Chinese medicine is a broad category that refers to a range of different abnormalities in the fluid physiology of the whole body not just of the respiratory tract.  the location of these fibrous "clots" in the blood vessels suggest that the phlegm stagnation is entangled with blood stagnation. This is actually a well-known combination pattern in Chinese medicine that is often associated with very serious conditions like cancer and autoimmune diseases. The primary cause of fluid physiology abnormalities according to traditional Chinese medicine is a deficiency of vital energy or what Chinese medicine calls Qi. People with Qi deficiency tend to be significantly overweight or obese, frequently get diagnosed with metabolic disorder or type two diabetes, and generally report persistent fatigue and susceptibility to respiratory pathogens. I'm referring to their general state of health prior to Covid here not the symptoms they experience during Covid. 

One of the externally visible signs of serious internal phlegm stagnation in Chinese medicine is a waxy, shiny, or greasy complexion. Around the time that the first round of boosters was released (shot 3), mask wearing had also decreased significantly in my neighborhood. At that time, I began to notice that  a large number of people, particularly women, displayed this characteristic complexion. Women are more susceptible to the type of qi deficiency and phlegm stagnation I referred to above. I also noticed this complexion was more prevalent in Asian women, which might reflect the generally higher uptake of the vaccine in the Asian population. 

I bring this up for several reasons. If the dots I am connecting are truly related and not just coincidental correlations, this type of complexion might be a useful warning sign for possible strange fibrous clot complications down the road. 

It also suggests that traditional Chinese medical treatment strategies focused on supplementing qi and transforming phlegm might be effective. As an aside, I have a strong suspicion that this presentation is common in so-called long Covid and also possibly some forms of vaccine injury. It would make perfect sense from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine that a person with pre-existing phlegm stagnation would end up with a lingering illness after the acute phase had ended. 

Many practitioners of Chinese medicine feel that herbal medicine is essential for the treatment of either qi deficiency or phlegm stagnation. There's a risk involved with Chinese herbal medicine, so I'm not going to be more specific than that. However, if I had long Covid or was concerned about the lingering effects of vaccination, I would probably seek out a fellow Chinese herbalist for a consultation. Acupuncture alone is generally considered less effective than Chinese herbal medicine for these two patterns of disharmony, but I have had the strongest gut feeling for the past 15 minutes that moxibustion on the acupuncture point named stomach 36 might be really effective for some long Covid patients, especially if severe fatigue is one of their primary symptoms.

Humans are still way better at pattern detection than machines or so-called objective testing. I always consider the supposedly objective information to be just one more data point worthy of consideration in a diagnostic process that primarily relies on human observation of patterns.

I honestly don't understand how somebody can continue to practice Chinese medicine with a straight face (assuming their face is straight under that mask and not showing evidence of a crooked smile) while completely rejecting the foundational principles of the medicine. The yellow emperors classic of Chinese medicine begins with the following passage:

The yellow emperor says to his teacher that he has heard that the people of high antiquity all exceeded 100 years but in their movements and activities there was no weakening. As for the people today, after 1/2 of 100 years, the movements and activities of all of them are weakened. Is this because the times are different or is it that the people have [changed in some fundamental way]? 

The teacher responds that the people of high antiquity, those who knew the Way [the Tao], they modeled their behavior on yin and yang. Their eating and drinking was moderate. Their rising and resting had regularity. They did not tax themselves with meaningless work. Hence, they were able to keep the physical appearance and spirit together and maximize the years allotted by heaven. Their lifespan exceeded 100 years before they departed.

The fact that people of today are different is because they take wine as an ordinary beverage, and they adopt absurd behavior as regular behavior. They are drunk when they engage in sexual activity. 

Through their lust, they exhaust their essence. Through their wastefulness, they dissipate their true vital energy [qi].

They do not know how to maintain vitality and they engage their spirit when it is not the right time. They make every effort to please their hearts, but they oppose the true happiness of life. Rising and resting are out of harmony with the rhythms of the planet

Hence, it is only 1/2 of 100 years and they weekend.

When essence and spirit are guarded internally, where could a disease come from?

Hence, the mind is relaxed and one has few desires. The heart is at peace and one is not in fear. The physical appearance is taxed but is not tired. The vital energy [qi] follows its appropriate course [in the acupuncture meridians].

Hence, they considered their food delicious, they didn't care about fancy clothes and enjoyed the common things of the world not the interests of the elite. Those of higher and those of lower status did not long for each other. The people, therefore, were called natural.

Hence cravings and desires could not tax their eyes and the excess evil could not confuse their hearts. The stupid and the knowledgeable, the exemplary and the non-exemplary, none was in fear of other beings.

Hence, they were [all] one with the Way.

I also wanted to add that the good news from a Chinese medical perspective is that it doesn't really matter if an acupuncturist accepts vaccination as a potential cause of the syndrome. The only reason to be focused on causes in Chinese medicine rather than patterns of presentation is if the cause is continual. If a person has stopped getting boosters and no longer intends to get any more, then the causal factor is inconsequential. The Chinese medicine doctor will always treat based upon the pattern as it presents.

Now, if the cause of your problems include eating a crappy diet and never getting any exercise, those things will have to change. I suppose the risk of not accepting that vaccination may be a major factor in the syndrome is that someone may spend a lot of unnecessary time trying to unearth another cause. Depending on the proclivity of the practitioner, they might start testing you for parasites or Lyme disease or something like that. Or, they might focus on stress or psychological factors or electro smog. All of which may actually be involved in a persons poor health, but if that person continues down the booster highway, there might never be any relief in sight.

I'm not sure if he explicitly connects Gu syndrome to Covid in this section or if it is a separate topic. However, that is really irrelevant for the reasons that I explained in an earlier post. If the person presents with Gu syndrome, then they should be treated as having it. I've never seen Dr. Fruehauf give a presentation targeted toward a general audience, and I think many of you here will be completely blown away by what he has to say about health and healing in general. And about chronic parasitosis specifically.

The last anecdote I heard before sharing this link was about a famous Chinese medical doctor in China who thought he was going to see some type of brand new disease that had never been addressed by Chinese medicine before. On the first day that he walked into a Covid ward, he discovered within minutes of beginning to perform acupuncture on his patient that this condition makes perfect sense in terms of Chinese medicine and could be effectively treated using that modality alone with no western medicine.

Thank you!!! Excellent information

Thank you! I am only an egg, only a qigong/tai chi practitioner, so only have a tiny understanding of TCM.

One of the main TCM remedies which I have used consistently over the past 3 years is shikamic acid - pine needle oil & tea, fennel extract, star anise. I was told by my TCM practitioner that it breaks up spike. (that's all I know)

My question is - are these also remedies against phlegm stagnation?

Over Here, I suspect you know the answer. The "clots" are not clots in the true sense. They are fibrous structures, artifacts of the modification made to normally-harmless blood components.

Those white fibrous clots are just one of the many causes for death. But it is the most visual one. Doctors for Covid Ethics has several articles about the injections causing damage: Vascular and organ damage induced by mRNA vaccines: irrefutable proof of causality - https://doctors4covidethics.org/vascular-and-organ-damage-induced-by-mrna-vaccines-irrefutable-proof-of-causality/

I made a list of possible causes for harm by the mRNA/DNA injections. https://thescienceanalyst.substack.com/p/the-experimental-injections-are-not It is not just the spike-proteins, but many other components cause side-effects. In short. mRNA causes immune-system problems. LNPs cause allergies.

The reason for the injections to continue, even after they cause so much damage, is due to the agendas that need the injections to continue. (1). Agenda for digital control of citizens via a vax-passport and social credit system. It is now moving towards CO2 credits. The World Economic Forum (WEF) wants these. (2). Agenda for endless vaccines. Which is like free money for Big Pharma. (3). Agenda of information control. They want full control on news and social media, and forbid any real facts to come out. This is the WEF again.

Some examples of information restrictions: (a) the information about HCQ & Ivermectin. (b) the information about Covid being a weak disease, (c) masks and lockdowns not working (ever). The Nuremberg code and such. (d) the problem that everyone who got jabbed, got Covid again. "But it would be worse, if I would not have taken it" (e) the deadly and severe side-effects, far worse than severe covid (f) the nazi problem in Ukraine. (g) laws that forbid Doctors to state the truth. (h) the influence of the WEF over many governments and who is controlling the WEF again.

Hey, SciAnalyst, I see you have a substack that you've been neglecting. I just posted a comment at https://thescienceanalyst.substack.com/p/quantum-physics-has-been-falsified/comment/12027801 asking about discussing sci. But also interested in discussing Covid vaxes etc. I made a Substack forum at https://substack.webboard.org/ for Substackers and non-ones.

It is a different topic than the clots.

And I am not neglecting. There are articles, for which I am doing some extra research. And simulations. About evolution, and about cosmology.

The best info I've seen on cosmology is at http://qdl.scs-inc.us/?top=6031

John Kierein is also good.

That's very sweet of you :)

My goal is to try and make what I write reach as broad as an audience as possible!

Big Pharma is not looking for cures, but rather ongoing revenues.

In sum, if people are aware of Thomas Kuhn's seminal The Structure of Scientific Revolution, they will know this is not new.

As Blaise Pascal once noted, once science is divorced from ethics, scientists will use their skills to pursue power, not truth. The late Dr. Michael Chricton wrote, similarly years later, “as Alston Chase put it, ‘when the search for truth is confused with political advocacy, the pursuit of knowledge is reduced to the quest for power."

I do NOT want to go down a rabbit hole, but truth be told, the EXACT same issue is a work with the AGW scam. The truth is, there has been global warming recently – but it started around the time of the Revolutionary war, and today we are still BELOW the average of the past 3,000 years. And this is not just for Europe, Greenland and North America, yet another red herring that has recently been thrown out by the desperate global warmers. The universality of the Viking and Mediaeval climatic optimums is written about by Kegwin, who wrote in Science, 1996:274:1504-1508, the mean surface temp of the Sargasso Sea (which lies roughly between the West Indies and the Azores), which was obtained by readings of isotope ratios in marine organism remains in sediment, shows we are, today, below the three thousand year average, and far below the Medieval Climatic Optimum, albeit far above the LIA. Civil Defense Perspectives, Mar. 2007, Vol. 23, #3, p. 1, notes that evidence for this climatic optimum has been found in all but 2 out of 103 locations where it was examined for, including Asia, Africa, South America and the western U.S. The graph in Kegwin of temperatures in the Sargasso Sea tells you all you need to know (note: that big horizontal line running across the page is the 3,000 year average!), The Dansgaard & Johnson study, here on ResearchGate, shows the same https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Average-near-surface-temperatures-of-the-northern-hemisphere-during-the-past-11000-years_fig5_313127868

I care about our lakes, ponds and rivers being clear of chemicals and get frustrated that all we can talk about is carbon! People were distracted from matters of real importance for a myth.

Very interesting article. I appreciate the survey done of coroners. Certainly, a significant number of them experienced an increase in jelly and white fibrous clots. However, responses were really right across the spectrum with significant numbers having seen these for years and in other cases some not having ever seen them. So, while a particular phenomenon may have been uncovered, a coherent explanation of what is happening does not seem close at hand. I look forward to more work being done in this area.

Minor point! Coroners certify cause of death, they don't the embalming. It's an easy thing to mix up (I did it too when I was tired and wrote one of these).

I do not have a clue who Midwestern Doctor is, but the man is a ruby above price. No one speaks better than he (and has more common sense in his little finger....).

Every post he makes is a must read. Truly this man is a gift. When I get the money again, i will be a paying subscriber again.

Thank you Sir. Thank you for everything...and I don't suppose you could turn your mind to what in

God's name we can do about CBDC, which is coming fast...May 2023 I think.

How do we get our Congress to pass a law RIGHT NOW that DIGITAL Currency will BE illegal for

this country? Because once it is in place, none of this will matter anymore.

We will be serfs. for Generations.

Please dear Doctor, I know it is outside your expertise, but your common sense and insight

would be greatly appreciated.
