I was divorced and a single mother .. who didn’t have a lot of money so I wasn’t able to go to or take my kids to a doctor unless it was a emergency and in retrospect it was a blessing in disguise. I can’t imagine the horror and pain I would have if something happened to my kids because I listened to the medical advice on vaccines.. I think at one time there might have been a need and also there where medical professionals who took and lived by the Hippocratic Oath . But we have since moved in a very different direction… one that is not in the best interest of the patients or there children. I will never take a vaccine again and I’m very suspect of our medical community… Thank you for your article and I enjoy all you have to share .
While I'm extremely grateful for your viewpoints and all your writings, this one brings sadness as well. Your three options to overcome this gaslighting are mostly unworkable. The "Affordable" Care Act did nothing but make care LESS Affordable, and harder to get. The middle man insurance companies rule the treatment decisions and drive up costs (negotiated pricing makes the providers up their price in order to make the same profit as before, because the insurance company will automatically discount it). Going to a concierge doctor isn't covered, outside of treatment they might provide, generally at out-of-network pricing, but annua fees? No way. A large percentage of the population just can't afford that. "Doctor shopping" - get real. Someone needs to start a database of doctors that are willing to work WITH patients like this, just picking one out of a directory is not a viable option.
I have spent almost 10 years trying to find a medical professional that is willing to acknowledge that a 30 year stint of Beta Blocker therapy (starting at age 25) did long term (and hopefully not irreparable) damage to my nervous system and help me figure out how to cure it. It manifested after I was told to STOP taking them at age 55 (by a cardiologist, without weaning off), and my symptoms went off the charts. When i sought help, My PCP response? "That drug can't be the cause, it's out of your system in 2 weeks, tops". This I know, but 30 years ON the drug did SOMETHING to me that IS NOT GOING AWAY. I'm just now beginning to see some improvement and this occurred in 2016. Her solution? BENZOS, which caused even MORE problems!
I recently wanted to consult with an endocrinologist, as I believe I've been hyperinsulinemic, if not pre-diabetic for probably a few decades, causing my atherosclerosisthat led to CABGx4 surgery. Had anyone EVER checked my A1C or fasting insulin levels, in 64 years? Not once. But boy did they hound me about LDL-C. Endocrinologists are busier than ever with the T2D epidemic. I was able to get an appointment after 6 months. His first question to me was "I'm not sure why you're here". Then he had to create a diagnosis to be able to justify the testing, basic testing, to the insurance company. Fortunately he was willing to work with me and used hypertension as the diagnosis.
My trust level in the allopathic medicine world is pretty close to zero. I will get my own blood tests and diagnose my own issues, thank you very much, unless there is an emergency. Nobody cares as much about my own health as I do. Patient, heal thyself.
Try other healing methods. Homeopathy is incredible. I see a quantum therapist and Chinese medicine may help. For chronic illness allopathy is useless. They’re only good for trauma and putting bodies back together, of which they’re excellent. Keep searching and following breadcrumbs in the alternate health world.
I agree. I have just started treatment with a NUCCA chiropractor, and after a very short time, I'm seeing improvement. I wish I could find a good acupuncturist, trained in the ancient methods. But various advertised acupuncturists are just (in my opinion) taking a short class and advertising it as an add-on treatment option. There is no shortage of scams in the homeopathic world either. Thank you for your reply, I do have hope! What is a quantum therapist, how do you find one? A good one!
I can give you the number of my homeopath, he does Telehealth. I’m in Australia. You’ll have to private message me. He’s been doing it for 40’years. May be a month or more before you get in. Also my quantum therapist uses a quantum machine to diagnose me (more accurate than bloodwork) and then work on me via energy. Also much more effective than any drugs. She’s in Colombia so her English is a bit slow, but the machine she uses is next level. I preferred Chinese herbs to acupuncture- I never found acupuncture very useful, hence why I think it’s accepted by allopathy😅 allopathy does NOT like Chinese herbs. Always go with whatever allopathy really derides and you’ll find some effective modalities.
I’d love her details. Interestingly my practitioner was able to hook her machine up to me with no DNA. I would be suspicious except she’s eerily accurate with diagnostics. Far better than any bloodwork and without the bad health effect of the stupid amounts of blood they take which they then on-sell as they only need a few drops for testing.
Insurance is just a tool of control to limit your ability to lead a healthy life it offers no benefit whatsoever because no doctor or hospital can possibly offer anything benefit in relation to your health so take whatever you pay into insurance and do something to actually invest in your health such as eating the best real food possible and only drinking structured spring water and limit your stress sadness and try to maintain a positive attitude just those two things will do more for your health and longevity then any doctor ever could and you will not be wasting money in the most asinine way ever there's only one reason they would try and force people to carry their criminal extortion death cult insurance and it's not to keep you and your family healthy it will become clear in a very short a of time how much better off you are fully divested from the medical cartel
So true! It’s interesting how they also don’t let you use your flexible spending account for seeing a Naturopath or supplements. I’m surprised they even allow chiropractic care.
I'm seeing this more and more since becoming Medicare-eligible. I have great access to my my primary care. Testing and prescription drugs are available and affordable, but Heaven help you if you have chronic conditions that aren't well understood. Further, you are forced into "treatment" options which sometimes do more harm than good. In my own case, alternatives are often at the limit or beyond my ability to afford. Navigating all this would be impossible without the Internet and publications like this. The other unfortunate consequence is having to "ghost" my MD about what I'm doing to treat what he can't (or won't). If I were younger, in better health, and looking for a crusade I'd be a vociferous and outspoken advocate for complete medical freedom.
Good for you for being your own advocate and doctor. Unfortunately, I think that’s where we’re at. Doctoring ourselves. There’s even a website-Doctoryourself.com. I’m currently trying to school myself regarding holistic healing strategies for everything from scrapes to infections. I figure in a few years I’ll be pretty good at it. Lol. In the meantime I get my blood tests at Anytime labs and take my vities and exercise. Eat organic as possible. That’ll have to do for now. I hope you find your answers! Be well.
Paying a monthly subscription to an independent direct primary care (DPC) physician and signing up for catastrophic insurance coverage (only) could save you money. Here are some details about how Direct Primary Care works: https://dpcnation.org/.
Unfortunately, DPC practices aren't available everywhere, but you can find some here: https://mapper.dpcfrontier.com/ (others are in the Independent Medical Resources listed above).
If you live in the USA, most states will allow you to purchase blood tests on your own. It may be possible to find some that will identify your issues, though it would take a good deal of research on your part to find them. While AI is not always accurate, it could be helpful in locating them. Another source of information, if you don't know of it, is drugs.com which lists reported effects of drugs including long-term effects.
The bottom line is that fear is the driving force that pushes medical protocols that are unnecessary and harmful! We saw it in full display during the Covid con. What is totally ignored is the fact that healthy pregnancies are the key to good health for the newborn?! What has to be improved Is the prenatal care for mothers so that they deliver 100% healthy infant! It starts with evaluating nutrient, deficiencies, and eliminating lifestyle issues that are detrimental during pregnancy. Key to this whole process is measuring the blood value of vitamin D to make sure that the mother to be has a value of 50 NG’s or more! I have seen over the last 20 years a concerted effort to degrade and discredit the true value of vitamin D, which is not a vitamin but an essential hormone to regulate over 3000 gene expressions in the human body!
The profit driven medicine man continually ignores this because it doesn’t improve his ability to earn more money. It’s as simple as that.!
My reply to Dr. Malones article on the same subject: Big Pharma supports junk science to perpetuate and increase profitable prescription drugs over simple proven solutions. Debasing supplements including Vitamin D is on going. Science in reverse. They provide the researchers with their pre determined goal for the research. Then publish it in journals that they fund. No one protests! I remember a time when I was encouraging a UIC researcher to do a study on Vitamin D blood levels versus negative birth outcomes. No dice. He did mention he did a study for a candy company that wanted to prove that their chocolate bar was healthy. I asked if it was the Hershey study and he said no. That was one of his cohorts. There is a on going marketing battle between coffee and tea. Which one is healthier. grassrootshealth.net is promoting a study to prove Vitamin D levels at or above 40 ng's delivers a healthier baby. They have my support. Big Pharma, Big Hospitals and Big Medicine I am sure will not support it. The hospitals just keep building bigger preemie wings! That's where the money is!
So I had no idea what "the Noahide Laws" reference and so I asked Gab.ai -
"What does this mean in the context of comments on an article about medical gaslighting and suggestion to find alternative treatments - “Beware the Noahide Laws”"
Response: It’s a dog-whistle telling Christians that the “medical establishment” (or whoever’s pushing the article) is ultimately enforcing the seven Noahide Laws—especially the one against “idolatry,” which rabbinic courts interpret as a ban on Christianity. The commenter is saying “they’ll smile and tell you it’s evidence-based medicine, but the endgame is a legal code that criminalizes your faith and forces you into their approved ‘health’ regime.”
Me: "Thank you, I had absolutely no idea what that meant but now I see the root.
It makes little sense in the context I’m seeing it but I suspect that is the point."
Response: Exactly. The phrase is tossed in to seed paranoia, not to illuminate the article. It’s the conspiratorial equivalent of yelling “Look behind you!”—it derails the actual topic and shifts attention to the supposed hidden hand.
As always, thank you for the incredible work you have done by bringing this issue to light. I hope you know about the widespread positive impact of your articles, as I've learned so much from reading them and I've also taught my family a lot about the issues that you cover.
Historically, whenever a large movement takes place, there is always a counter movement that forms in response. Lately. I have been concerned about the potential of a counter movement against MAHA and RFK, as that would align with the interests of the already-very powerful and influential media and pharmaceutical establishments and therefore have the power to do an incredible amount of damage.
However, if the right messages are spread at the right times and enough people wake up, that potential resistance movement can absolutely be weakened and prevented from ever gaining traction. I find that you are particularly well at explaining these important concepts to a general audience, so please keep doing what you're doing and keep up the great content!
Same here. I worry that TPTB will unleash a *real* pathogen (false flag attack with something truly nasty) this next time around to "punish" us all, so to speak, and MAHA will be utterly discredited and neutralized. They are already operating behind RFK, Jr.'s back, as we know. PREP Act is still in place, and DoD still hasn't been called to account for its CONvid bio-chemical domestic terrorist mRNA "vaccine" attack. (It would fit their depopulation agenda rather well, too...)
A close friend had two knee replacements by the same doc in the same clinic. First surgery went well; second did not go well. She learned the doc used a larger knee joint than the first. When asked why he did such a thing, he just said he thought it was the best decision.
Interesting, similar situation to a friend of mine😖
She was very active, and then we went in for a shoulder consult and he suggested shoulder surgery, however I pointed out there would be no gains and function or range of motion , and she had no pain. Pretty sad state of affairs . I always suggest 2 sets of ears at doctor appointment as information doesn't get missed and the patient can be better informed to make decisions.
Wow. What casual arrogance on the part of the doctor. Sorry about your friend's experience.
The last time I went to a GP was to have stitches removed on the back of my hand from a dog bite injury (in 2009/10 or so). The attending phys was a young lady and was clearly exhausted and stressed-out. She also was a Chinese national and couldn't speak English at all, as far as I could tell. After having 2/3 of the stitches removed (quite the jarring experience, to say the least), I said. "Enough!" and went home and removed the remaining ones myself. Except for going to an eye doc I really like, I haven't been back to a hospital or doctor's practice since. Doing just fine.... Food is medicine; fingers crossed.
Whoah, thanks! I worry about the sun (and its repeating 12,000-year "micro" nova cycle... and the Carrington Event v.2.0 we are due soon) and often shun its (seemingly stronger these days) rays, although I get plenty and rock the vitamin D, of course. Rethinking sunglasses? I may be too stubborn to do that, but I'll check out the info you attached. Thank you.
Closing an animal bite wound is not ideal in the first place, especially a bite on the hand. Partial closure if it was a gaping wound perhaps.
The extremely paternalistic medical systems in China and India, secondary to the totalitarian society in China, and the caste system in India, make these doctors a favorite of the system that hates us. Bonus, they are unlikely to complain after the substantial increase in salary and lifestyle they receive by immigrating to the West.
I'm glad you survived your "medical care" without any permanent loss of function to your hand.
Thank you! Perspective much appreciated. The experience simply said to me (and I'm an intuition-guided, "horse sense" type of fool!): NOPE; avoid medical treatment, except in ER situations.
I don't think the current system is sustainable. I think the education doctors receive is valuable in a mechanical sort of way but is not related to health. Medical education needs to change. I went to a functional medical doctor yesterday, I paid out of pocket, but I had a full hour of attention, so it was worth the money. He asked smart questions, and there was no sense since he does not bill insurance of getting me out quick as the insurance money will be coming no matter what. The hour appointment cost the same amount as what the physical therapy facility charges the insurance company for fifteen minutes of work with a PT. It is a conveyor belt business model, and facilities can make fortunes from insurance payments. I see the temptation to shove as many patients in as possible for such high returns. The PT building is a warehouse with simple equipment. Five therapists will take in at least between them for the owner, 5K an hour, that's 40K a day from the conveyor belt model. It is really about the bottom line, not huge overhead to justify these charges. If the functional medical doctor charged those prices, out of network, he would have very few patients. The whole thing is a racket. I have never been told by a doctor of potential side effects from a medication. If I bring it up, I am reassured those are rare, and it is minimized immediately. What about Ozempic, is it really safe in the long run? Recently, a PA who takes it, said the benefits of weight loss from the drug, outweigh the risks of diseases from weight gain. Is that true in the long term though? Since the body is so complex, this intervention might be like trying to fix a Swiss watch with a hammer. If someone falls into a depression on Ozempic, will the doctor consider the drug as causative? Highly unlikely. I also see the temptation by functional medical doctors to order lab tests and then push expensive supplements to plug the deficiencies they read on the results. Medicine needs to become a vocation, with a focus on healing, not a high-status career for people good at chemistry., irrespective of where they fall on the empathy spectrum. Interesting guy on You Tube Prof. Dave Explains, Dave Farina, he is a mouthpiece for the Rockefeller/pharma model, spewing pro vaccine rhetoric backed up with the usual pharma cons, no citations from peer reviewed studies that don't have conflicts of interest. All these talking heads should be taken with a grain of salt, when they say, 'hundreds of studies show that....' Yet, they don't cite any of the studies and expect us to believe them. Dream on, and God help the babies.
It’s all about the hospital networks insurance companies and big pharma/device makers! Procedure after endless procedure with no measurable benefit to the patient!
Today, cared for a woman undergoing hysteroscopy and myosure polypectomy. Completely asymptomatic (no pain no bleeding!) prior biopsy benign! “Gynecologist wanted it out!”
Tomorrow, elderly patient is undergoing lower extremity thrombectomy and bypass (after multiple peripheral procedures performed by cardiologist!) This is the new way cardiologists make $$$ (at least more $$ than from traditional cath lab cases!) I could go on forever!
In 1993/4, I was involved in complex legal problems in Norway. The mother of my son (4) and her family falsely accused me of kidnapping the boy and taking him to an "unknown" location with a view to smuggling him out of the country. It was my weekend to take him home according to my senior family lawyer. They all knew where I was living. My name and address was also in the phone book.
The Norwegian police raided my address in the middle of the night and I was arrested. I was kept overnight in jail until a court hearing. The male judge let me out. Later, I had to face a full court with a vindictive female judge. The police and the child's mother and family all lied in court and ignored the fact that my lawyer said that I was following his advice. The lawyer had refused to give my address to the police. I was sentenced to 3 years of imprisonment.
We appealed to the high court. They refused to look at the case. To them, it was an open and shut case. We appealed to the Norwegian supreme court. After many months, they decided that I had done nothing wrong.
Because of the incredible stress I was under, I developed a huge pain in my right knee. I was unable to walk. I saw a specialist privately in London. I was given an MRI scan - a novelty at the time. The diagnosis was avascular necrosis. The specialist told me that it was untreatable. When I tried to tell him of the stress I had been under, he ignored me. He told me it was probably genetic.
After a few months, my knee gradually got better. The stress had subsided. Eventually, my right knee became perfectly normal.
You’ve hit on the spiritual aspect of healing, I think. Sadness,anger, stress and anxiety affect the heart and soul of a person which in turn affects our body. Good doctors recognize the connection. IMO
Your article made me think of a recent situation I had, I’m an orthopedic massage therapist. A client comes in that I’ve worked on for a few years, she has trigeminal neuralgia and carries stress in her neck and upper back. Well this time she mentioned how she’s had jaw problems her whole life, an underbite. When she was in middle school the orthodontist told her that braces would fix it and relieve the pain, but they didn’t. When she was 18 she talked to a surgeon who told her the only thing that would fix it would be to break her jaw, and it was a year’s recovery. Being 18 and going off to college, she opted to not do it. She’s close to 40 now (40!) and recently consulted an older surgeon again as pain is constant. He told her the surgery wouldn’t help because the problem was with her upper jaw and there’s nothing they can do to move it.
Anyway, she’s telling me this story and I know that the trigeminal nerve has parts that go into the pterygoid muscles in the jaw so I asked if she’d every had a TMJ massage. She said no, but she would try anything so we did intraoral work. She CRIED when I was finished, said she hadn’t to been able to open her mouth that wide in years, and was furious that all the docs she consulted over her entire life not one had mentioned trying massage. Now she comes once a month and each time the relief lasts longer. Honestly, it’s one of the highlights of my career.
MwD…One of your best to date. You have captured the real problems that underly the dysfunctionality of mainstream medicine beautifully and accurately. Thank you for your voice.
The simple fact is that probably most doctors are owned financially , psychologically or both , by drug companies and have few or no options for treatment of almost all conditions apart from drugs.
They are best avoided entirely, or if they must be engaged do so with extreme caution and skepticism. They are not there to help you, you are a cash cow.
There are a few exceptions, but you won’t recognise them unless they are approached in the above manner and by doing so you have nothing to lose.
I leave allopathy to hospital needs only. I cannot for the life of me see how a GP is useful. I can buy my ivermectin online. There are so many more gentle and effective methods out there, allopathy is quite barbaric and only with extreme trauma would I consider them.
Being totally gaslight and injured badly by medical procedures (probably most of my life) I thank you sincerely for your very honest account on this subject. Your Substack has given me the tools and advice I need to protect my daughter from future harm, truly invaluable. 🙏
I spent 40+ years in medical practice and my advice to everyone is to be very suspicious of any doctor that claims to know how to prevent disease. Vaccinations of any kind would be very high on my list of things to avoid. Many of the commonly prescribed medications would not be far behind. Most are given to affect metrics that are not real diseases such as cholesterol and blood glucose levels that have been defined down so that a large proportion of people require "treatment".
No. I would treat it as I do the frequent cuts and scrapes that I get working in the garden---cleanse with hydrogen peroxide and apply neosporin ointment, then cover with a band aid. With a puncture wound I would flush it with peroxide with a bulb syringe first.
Tetanus is not a virus. It is caused by a neurotoxin released by a type of clostridium bacillus. The tetanus toxoid injection blocks the action of the neurotoxin and has no effect that I am aware of on the clostridium bacillus. Some say that the toxoid causes the immune system to produce antibodies to the neurotoxin. I don't know what kind of proof there is for that assertion but, if untrue, then the shot cannot be labelled as a vaccination. That said, no one has ever isolated any virus or grown it in tissue culture. The entire discipline of virology is built upon a very shaky scientific foundation.
I suspect many millions of people in the USA hurt themselves with a sharp object every year. Clearly, almost none of these unhappy events result in "tetanus"
Below is a list of diseases with similar symptoms to "tetanus". IMHO, tetanus is an invention of the medical industrial complex.
------ from AI
Key diseases and conditions with overlapping symptoms to tetanus include:
- **Strychnine poisoning**: Causes muscle spasms similar to tetanus, including generalized painful spasms and rigidity[1].
- **Local infections or inflammations**: Dental infections or local infections can cause trismus but usually lack the generalized muscle spasms and autonomic dysfunction seen in tetanus[1].
- **Bacterial meningitis**: Some bacterial meningitis forms may show symptoms like stiff neck, fever, headache, and respiratory problems, which can overlap with some tetanus symptoms, yet meningitis mainly involves infection/inflammation of the central nervous system and usually lacks the characteristic tonic spasms and risus sardonicus seen in tetanus[6].
- **Botulism**: Caused by Clostridium botulinum neurotoxins, usually presents with muscle weakness rather than spasms and has a different clinical course[12][13].
- **Diphtheria**: Can cause airway obstruction and sometimes neuropathy but does not have the typical muscle spasms and rigidity characteristic of tetanus[10].
However, "lockjaw" or *trismus* can also refer more broadly to any condition causing reduced ability to open or close the jaw, resulting from various other causes beyond tetanus. These include temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, infections near the jaw, nerve or muscle injuries, medication side effects, cancer, or certain medical treatments. Symptoms typically include jaw pain, cramping, difficulty chewing, earaches, and headaches. Unlike the tetanus-related lockjaw, these causes often involve localized mechanical or neurological issues affecting the jaw[4][5][7][8].
Does anyone remember the Bill Gates tetanus shot "experiments" performed in Kenya in which hundreds (maybe thousands) of girls and women of child-bearing age were given multiple tetanus "vaccines" that ultimately sterilized them. This was a travesty and the Kenyan doctor who discovered that giving these young women multiple tetanus shots sterilized them, was found dead. The story of the polio vaccinations in India was the same only these children who received six or seven polio vaccines over a very short time soon were crippled.
Yesterday I had a conversation with a Radiation Oncologist that was totally in the dark regarding the newly discovered SARS-CoV-2 Spike involvement in Cancer. We are sharing a mutual patient, and the conversation was important. Despite bringing up ‘‘spike’’ he was uninterested and became agitated that I even mentioned the term/issue in our conversation. He abruptly shut down and did not want to learn or hear about anything I had to say.
His attitude changed, and he became hostile. This is likely what makes up the majority of Allopathic doctors’ attitudes and indoctrination out there, and one of the main reasons that the centralized healthcare system that dominates today is losing patients and respect and credibility. To survive, doctors need to ‘‘change sides’’ and do the right thing. If they don't, they will be siding with the losing team and ultimately pay for it in the end.
That conversation with another provider started my day and was a sour note. However, by day's end, I was happy with the results of patient feedback that showed what I was doing with alternative and holistic care was making a very positive impact on the lives of my patients. So I ended the day on a very positive note.
My best friend in the USA is a doc. A mutual friend just died of turbo ovarian cancer. One month from diagnosis to death. The community we shared, had mandates for gatherings. (made me so sad, even the hippies had mandates!)
Even then, she was tut-tut-tutting about how much ovaries are hidden. It's like her brain couldn't go there. She did not know the word Turbo, and she pretty much dissed me. Kindly - because we are dear friends, but I could hear the cognitive dissonance starting to churn.
Thank you for having the courage to have a conversation with the doctor about the spike involvement and cancer. I have had several of these reactions (agitation, anger) from doctors I work with in the hospital when discussing anything COVID jabs and or side effects.
To this day there is still a surgeon requesting that if her patient has not received one COVID shot, they need to get a COVID test!
Paying your doctor directly is a valuable advice, in my opinion - not so much because of the idea that the doctor will be incited to deliver 'value' to the client, but because the personal relationship of trust between 'business partners' will benefit the doctor-patient relationship. I live in the Netherlands, where the system is socialized to the point where every citizen has to be protected against every possible risk and one is hardly held responsible for his own stupidities. Everybody has a mandatory medical insurance, and the GP is 'free' (gets a standard fee per subscriber per month, regardless the amount of 'consumption'). Hence the GP has become a kind of civil servant, in large measure functioning as a gateway for specialists, and a paradise for hypochondriacs and old ladies seeking personal attention, as the GP has become so much cheaper than the hairdresser.
How different were things 50 years ago: I paid my doctor cash after each consultation, we were partners, we had a deal, there was an atmosphere of mutual trust. Today the feeling of mutual understanding is absent, the call for demolition of the own risk for hospital and specialist is growing, potentially leading to completely 'free' healthcare like in the UK, which is a disaster.
Wow! Thank you! It explains much of why I have not been to an allopathic doctor since 2019 (and rarely did since my mid 20s after a horror story involving one). By the way I will be 70 in less than 2 months. I wish I could find a doctor like you.
I was divorced and a single mother .. who didn’t have a lot of money so I wasn’t able to go to or take my kids to a doctor unless it was a emergency and in retrospect it was a blessing in disguise. I can’t imagine the horror and pain I would have if something happened to my kids because I listened to the medical advice on vaccines.. I think at one time there might have been a need and also there where medical professionals who took and lived by the Hippocratic Oath . But we have since moved in a very different direction… one that is not in the best interest of the patients or there children. I will never take a vaccine again and I’m very suspect of our medical community… Thank you for your article and I enjoy all you have to share .
While I'm extremely grateful for your viewpoints and all your writings, this one brings sadness as well. Your three options to overcome this gaslighting are mostly unworkable. The "Affordable" Care Act did nothing but make care LESS Affordable, and harder to get. The middle man insurance companies rule the treatment decisions and drive up costs (negotiated pricing makes the providers up their price in order to make the same profit as before, because the insurance company will automatically discount it). Going to a concierge doctor isn't covered, outside of treatment they might provide, generally at out-of-network pricing, but annua fees? No way. A large percentage of the population just can't afford that. "Doctor shopping" - get real. Someone needs to start a database of doctors that are willing to work WITH patients like this, just picking one out of a directory is not a viable option.
I have spent almost 10 years trying to find a medical professional that is willing to acknowledge that a 30 year stint of Beta Blocker therapy (starting at age 25) did long term (and hopefully not irreparable) damage to my nervous system and help me figure out how to cure it. It manifested after I was told to STOP taking them at age 55 (by a cardiologist, without weaning off), and my symptoms went off the charts. When i sought help, My PCP response? "That drug can't be the cause, it's out of your system in 2 weeks, tops". This I know, but 30 years ON the drug did SOMETHING to me that IS NOT GOING AWAY. I'm just now beginning to see some improvement and this occurred in 2016. Her solution? BENZOS, which caused even MORE problems!
I recently wanted to consult with an endocrinologist, as I believe I've been hyperinsulinemic, if not pre-diabetic for probably a few decades, causing my atherosclerosisthat led to CABGx4 surgery. Had anyone EVER checked my A1C or fasting insulin levels, in 64 years? Not once. But boy did they hound me about LDL-C. Endocrinologists are busier than ever with the T2D epidemic. I was able to get an appointment after 6 months. His first question to me was "I'm not sure why you're here". Then he had to create a diagnosis to be able to justify the testing, basic testing, to the insurance company. Fortunately he was willing to work with me and used hypertension as the diagnosis.
My trust level in the allopathic medicine world is pretty close to zero. I will get my own blood tests and diagnose my own issues, thank you very much, unless there is an emergency. Nobody cares as much about my own health as I do. Patient, heal thyself.
Try other healing methods. Homeopathy is incredible. I see a quantum therapist and Chinese medicine may help. For chronic illness allopathy is useless. They’re only good for trauma and putting bodies back together, of which they’re excellent. Keep searching and following breadcrumbs in the alternate health world.
I agree. I have just started treatment with a NUCCA chiropractor, and after a very short time, I'm seeing improvement. I wish I could find a good acupuncturist, trained in the ancient methods. But various advertised acupuncturists are just (in my opinion) taking a short class and advertising it as an add-on treatment option. There is no shortage of scams in the homeopathic world either. Thank you for your reply, I do have hope! What is a quantum therapist, how do you find one? A good one!
I can give you the number of my homeopath, he does Telehealth. I’m in Australia. You’ll have to private message me. He’s been doing it for 40’years. May be a month or more before you get in. Also my quantum therapist uses a quantum machine to diagnose me (more accurate than bloodwork) and then work on me via energy. Also much more effective than any drugs. She’s in Colombia so her English is a bit slow, but the machine she uses is next level. I preferred Chinese herbs to acupuncture- I never found acupuncture very useful, hence why I think it’s accepted by allopathy😅 allopathy does NOT like Chinese herbs. Always go with whatever allopathy really derides and you’ll find some effective modalities.
A friend of mine is a quantum practitioner - uses DNA from hair clippings. HERE in Australia. Her English is excellent.
I’d love her details. Interestingly my practitioner was able to hook her machine up to me with no DNA. I would be suspicious except she’s eerily accurate with diagnostics. Far better than any bloodwork and without the bad health effect of the stupid amounts of blood they take which they then on-sell as they only need a few drops for testing.
Insurance is just a tool of control to limit your ability to lead a healthy life it offers no benefit whatsoever because no doctor or hospital can possibly offer anything benefit in relation to your health so take whatever you pay into insurance and do something to actually invest in your health such as eating the best real food possible and only drinking structured spring water and limit your stress sadness and try to maintain a positive attitude just those two things will do more for your health and longevity then any doctor ever could and you will not be wasting money in the most asinine way ever there's only one reason they would try and force people to carry their criminal extortion death cult insurance and it's not to keep you and your family healthy it will become clear in a very short a of time how much better off you are fully divested from the medical cartel
So true! It’s interesting how they also don’t let you use your flexible spending account for seeing a Naturopath or supplements. I’m surprised they even allow chiropractic care.
That was a long sentence! But quite right.
funny! :-)
I'm seeing this more and more since becoming Medicare-eligible. I have great access to my my primary care. Testing and prescription drugs are available and affordable, but Heaven help you if you have chronic conditions that aren't well understood. Further, you are forced into "treatment" options which sometimes do more harm than good. In my own case, alternatives are often at the limit or beyond my ability to afford. Navigating all this would be impossible without the Internet and publications like this. The other unfortunate consequence is having to "ghost" my MD about what I'm doing to treat what he can't (or won't). If I were younger, in better health, and looking for a crusade I'd be a vociferous and outspoken advocate for complete medical freedom.
Good for you for being your own advocate and doctor. Unfortunately, I think that’s where we’re at. Doctoring ourselves. There’s even a website-Doctoryourself.com. I’m currently trying to school myself regarding holistic healing strategies for everything from scrapes to infections. I figure in a few years I’ll be pretty good at it. Lol. In the meantime I get my blood tests at Anytime labs and take my vities and exercise. Eat organic as possible. That’ll have to do for now. I hope you find your answers! Be well.
Thanks for that link!
You bring up so many good points, Matt Worzala!
We've assembled some Independent Medical Resources on a Substack page, which you might find helpful: https://eolson47.substack.com/i/136557135/independent-medical-resources
Paying a monthly subscription to an independent direct primary care (DPC) physician and signing up for catastrophic insurance coverage (only) could save you money. Here are some details about how Direct Primary Care works: https://dpcnation.org/.
Unfortunately, DPC practices aren't available everywhere, but you can find some here: https://mapper.dpcfrontier.com/ (others are in the Independent Medical Resources listed above).
Hope this helps!
If you live in the USA, most states will allow you to purchase blood tests on your own. It may be possible to find some that will identify your issues, though it would take a good deal of research on your part to find them. While AI is not always accurate, it could be helpful in locating them. Another source of information, if you don't know of it, is drugs.com which lists reported effects of drugs including long-term effects.
The bottom line is that fear is the driving force that pushes medical protocols that are unnecessary and harmful! We saw it in full display during the Covid con. What is totally ignored is the fact that healthy pregnancies are the key to good health for the newborn?! What has to be improved Is the prenatal care for mothers so that they deliver 100% healthy infant! It starts with evaluating nutrient, deficiencies, and eliminating lifestyle issues that are detrimental during pregnancy. Key to this whole process is measuring the blood value of vitamin D to make sure that the mother to be has a value of 50 NG’s or more! I have seen over the last 20 years a concerted effort to degrade and discredit the true value of vitamin D, which is not a vitamin but an essential hormone to regulate over 3000 gene expressions in the human body!
The profit driven medicine man continually ignores this because it doesn’t improve his ability to earn more money. It’s as simple as that.!
My reply to Dr. Malones article on the same subject: Big Pharma supports junk science to perpetuate and increase profitable prescription drugs over simple proven solutions. Debasing supplements including Vitamin D is on going. Science in reverse. They provide the researchers with their pre determined goal for the research. Then publish it in journals that they fund. No one protests! I remember a time when I was encouraging a UIC researcher to do a study on Vitamin D blood levels versus negative birth outcomes. No dice. He did mention he did a study for a candy company that wanted to prove that their chocolate bar was healthy. I asked if it was the Hershey study and he said no. That was one of his cohorts. There is a on going marketing battle between coffee and tea. Which one is healthier. grassrootshealth.net is promoting a study to prove Vitamin D levels at or above 40 ng's delivers a healthier baby. They have my support. Big Pharma, Big Hospitals and Big Medicine I am sure will not support it. The hospitals just keep building bigger preemie wings! That's where the money is!
Perhaps not quite so “ simple as that “ , but apart from that you make a fair point.
What is your view?
Beware the Noahide Laws . Be very ….aware .
Explain! Create an open dialog to educate and teach.
So I had no idea what "the Noahide Laws" reference and so I asked Gab.ai -
"What does this mean in the context of comments on an article about medical gaslighting and suggestion to find alternative treatments - “Beware the Noahide Laws”"
Response: It’s a dog-whistle telling Christians that the “medical establishment” (or whoever’s pushing the article) is ultimately enforcing the seven Noahide Laws—especially the one against “idolatry,” which rabbinic courts interpret as a ban on Christianity. The commenter is saying “they’ll smile and tell you it’s evidence-based medicine, but the endgame is a legal code that criminalizes your faith and forces you into their approved ‘health’ regime.”
Me: "Thank you, I had absolutely no idea what that meant but now I see the root.
It makes little sense in the context I’m seeing it but I suspect that is the point."
Response: Exactly. The phrase is tossed in to seed paranoia, not to illuminate the article. It’s the conspiratorial equivalent of yelling “Look behind you!”—it derails the actual topic and shifts attention to the supposed hidden hand.
Sounds like a new way for antisemites to blame “those wily Zionists” for everything.
You got it right!
Vitamin C is also very important for healthy pregnancies.
Brilliant!
As always, thank you for the incredible work you have done by bringing this issue to light. I hope you know about the widespread positive impact of your articles, as I've learned so much from reading them and I've also taught my family a lot about the issues that you cover.
Historically, whenever a large movement takes place, there is always a counter movement that forms in response. Lately. I have been concerned about the potential of a counter movement against MAHA and RFK, as that would align with the interests of the already-very powerful and influential media and pharmaceutical establishments and therefore have the power to do an incredible amount of damage.
However, if the right messages are spread at the right times and enough people wake up, that potential resistance movement can absolutely be weakened and prevented from ever gaining traction. I find that you are particularly well at explaining these important concepts to a general audience, so please keep doing what you're doing and keep up the great content!
A big part of what I'm trying to do is prevent that counter movement from sabotaging MAHA.
A Kennedy that is going to ride in on his white horse and right the wrongs of this society? It seems like I've heard this story somewhere before?
JFK... RFK... Prepare to be disappointed.
Same here. I worry that TPTB will unleash a *real* pathogen (false flag attack with something truly nasty) this next time around to "punish" us all, so to speak, and MAHA will be utterly discredited and neutralized. They are already operating behind RFK, Jr.'s back, as we know. PREP Act is still in place, and DoD still hasn't been called to account for its CONvid bio-chemical domestic terrorist mRNA "vaccine" attack. (It would fit their depopulation agenda rather well, too...)
I said "liked" but I don't like it! It is logical, however.
A close friend had two knee replacements by the same doc in the same clinic. First surgery went well; second did not go well. She learned the doc used a larger knee joint than the first. When asked why he did such a thing, he just said he thought it was the best decision.
Interesting, similar situation to a friend of mine😖
She was very active, and then we went in for a shoulder consult and he suggested shoulder surgery, however I pointed out there would be no gains and function or range of motion , and she had no pain. Pretty sad state of affairs . I always suggest 2 sets of ears at doctor appointment as information doesn't get missed and the patient can be better informed to make decisions.
❤️🙏❤️
Wow. What casual arrogance on the part of the doctor. Sorry about your friend's experience.
The last time I went to a GP was to have stitches removed on the back of my hand from a dog bite injury (in 2009/10 or so). The attending phys was a young lady and was clearly exhausted and stressed-out. She also was a Chinese national and couldn't speak English at all, as far as I could tell. After having 2/3 of the stitches removed (quite the jarring experience, to say the least), I said. "Enough!" and went home and removed the remaining ones myself. Except for going to an eye doc I really like, I haven't been back to a hospital or doctor's practice since. Doing just fine.... Food is medicine; fingers crossed.
Take off your glasses in the sunshine outside for a few minutes every day. It will help your eyes and body. And don't ever wear sunglasses.

Whoah, thanks! I worry about the sun (and its repeating 12,000-year "micro" nova cycle... and the Carrington Event v.2.0 we are due soon) and often shun its (seemingly stronger these days) rays, although I get plenty and rock the vitamin D, of course. Rethinking sunglasses? I may be too stubborn to do that, but I'll check out the info you attached. Thank you.
Closing an animal bite wound is not ideal in the first place, especially a bite on the hand. Partial closure if it was a gaping wound perhaps.
The extremely paternalistic medical systems in China and India, secondary to the totalitarian society in China, and the caste system in India, make these doctors a favorite of the system that hates us. Bonus, they are unlikely to complain after the substantial increase in salary and lifestyle they receive by immigrating to the West.
I'm glad you survived your "medical care" without any permanent loss of function to your hand.
Thank you! Perspective much appreciated. The experience simply said to me (and I'm an intuition-guided, "horse sense" type of fool!): NOPE; avoid medical treatment, except in ER situations.
I don't think the current system is sustainable. I think the education doctors receive is valuable in a mechanical sort of way but is not related to health. Medical education needs to change. I went to a functional medical doctor yesterday, I paid out of pocket, but I had a full hour of attention, so it was worth the money. He asked smart questions, and there was no sense since he does not bill insurance of getting me out quick as the insurance money will be coming no matter what. The hour appointment cost the same amount as what the physical therapy facility charges the insurance company for fifteen minutes of work with a PT. It is a conveyor belt business model, and facilities can make fortunes from insurance payments. I see the temptation to shove as many patients in as possible for such high returns. The PT building is a warehouse with simple equipment. Five therapists will take in at least between them for the owner, 5K an hour, that's 40K a day from the conveyor belt model. It is really about the bottom line, not huge overhead to justify these charges. If the functional medical doctor charged those prices, out of network, he would have very few patients. The whole thing is a racket. I have never been told by a doctor of potential side effects from a medication. If I bring it up, I am reassured those are rare, and it is minimized immediately. What about Ozempic, is it really safe in the long run? Recently, a PA who takes it, said the benefits of weight loss from the drug, outweigh the risks of diseases from weight gain. Is that true in the long term though? Since the body is so complex, this intervention might be like trying to fix a Swiss watch with a hammer. If someone falls into a depression on Ozempic, will the doctor consider the drug as causative? Highly unlikely. I also see the temptation by functional medical doctors to order lab tests and then push expensive supplements to plug the deficiencies they read on the results. Medicine needs to become a vocation, with a focus on healing, not a high-status career for people good at chemistry., irrespective of where they fall on the empathy spectrum. Interesting guy on You Tube Prof. Dave Explains, Dave Farina, he is a mouthpiece for the Rockefeller/pharma model, spewing pro vaccine rhetoric backed up with the usual pharma cons, no citations from peer reviewed studies that don't have conflicts of interest. All these talking heads should be taken with a grain of salt, when they say, 'hundreds of studies show that....' Yet, they don't cite any of the studies and expect us to believe them. Dream on, and God help the babies.
Brilliant!
It’s all about the hospital networks insurance companies and big pharma/device makers! Procedure after endless procedure with no measurable benefit to the patient!
Today, cared for a woman undergoing hysteroscopy and myosure polypectomy. Completely asymptomatic (no pain no bleeding!) prior biopsy benign! “Gynecologist wanted it out!”
Tomorrow, elderly patient is undergoing lower extremity thrombectomy and bypass (after multiple peripheral procedures performed by cardiologist!) This is the new way cardiologists make $$$ (at least more $$ than from traditional cath lab cases!) I could go on forever!
In 1993/4, I was involved in complex legal problems in Norway. The mother of my son (4) and her family falsely accused me of kidnapping the boy and taking him to an "unknown" location with a view to smuggling him out of the country. It was my weekend to take him home according to my senior family lawyer. They all knew where I was living. My name and address was also in the phone book.
The Norwegian police raided my address in the middle of the night and I was arrested. I was kept overnight in jail until a court hearing. The male judge let me out. Later, I had to face a full court with a vindictive female judge. The police and the child's mother and family all lied in court and ignored the fact that my lawyer said that I was following his advice. The lawyer had refused to give my address to the police. I was sentenced to 3 years of imprisonment.
We appealed to the high court. They refused to look at the case. To them, it was an open and shut case. We appealed to the Norwegian supreme court. After many months, they decided that I had done nothing wrong.
Because of the incredible stress I was under, I developed a huge pain in my right knee. I was unable to walk. I saw a specialist privately in London. I was given an MRI scan - a novelty at the time. The diagnosis was avascular necrosis. The specialist told me that it was untreatable. When I tried to tell him of the stress I had been under, he ignored me. He told me it was probably genetic.
After a few months, my knee gradually got better. The stress had subsided. Eventually, my right knee became perfectly normal.
You’ve hit on the spiritual aspect of healing, I think. Sadness,anger, stress and anxiety affect the heart and soul of a person which in turn affects our body. Good doctors recognize the connection. IMO
Correct. My experience certainly helped me change my perspective a lot. I woke up to the fact that we are dealing with charlatans.
Luckily he didn’t offer you a surgery. I'm sure he would have if it was available at the time.
I don't think I would have gone along with it. I am extremely sceptical about doctors. I knew some student doctors at UCH.
Your article made me think of a recent situation I had, I’m an orthopedic massage therapist. A client comes in that I’ve worked on for a few years, she has trigeminal neuralgia and carries stress in her neck and upper back. Well this time she mentioned how she’s had jaw problems her whole life, an underbite. When she was in middle school the orthodontist told her that braces would fix it and relieve the pain, but they didn’t. When she was 18 she talked to a surgeon who told her the only thing that would fix it would be to break her jaw, and it was a year’s recovery. Being 18 and going off to college, she opted to not do it. She’s close to 40 now (40!) and recently consulted an older surgeon again as pain is constant. He told her the surgery wouldn’t help because the problem was with her upper jaw and there’s nothing they can do to move it.
Anyway, she’s telling me this story and I know that the trigeminal nerve has parts that go into the pterygoid muscles in the jaw so I asked if she’d every had a TMJ massage. She said no, but she would try anything so we did intraoral work. She CRIED when I was finished, said she hadn’t to been able to open her mouth that wide in years, and was furious that all the docs she consulted over her entire life not one had mentioned trying massage. Now she comes once a month and each time the relief lasts longer. Honestly, it’s one of the highlights of my career.
Stories like this are very common, although in a lot of cases they get the surgeries which only make things worse.
Yes! I’m so glad she never got the surgery.
MwD…One of your best to date. You have captured the real problems that underly the dysfunctionality of mainstream medicine beautifully and accurately. Thank you for your voice.
The simple fact is that probably most doctors are owned financially , psychologically or both , by drug companies and have few or no options for treatment of almost all conditions apart from drugs.
They are best avoided entirely, or if they must be engaged do so with extreme caution and skepticism. They are not there to help you, you are a cash cow.
There are a few exceptions, but you won’t recognise them unless they are approached in the above manner and by doing so you have nothing to lose.
I leave allopathy to hospital needs only. I cannot for the life of me see how a GP is useful. I can buy my ivermectin online. There are so many more gentle and effective methods out there, allopathy is quite barbaric and only with extreme trauma would I consider them.
"Barbaric", good word.
Extreme caution , sound advice indeed .
Being totally gaslight and injured badly by medical procedures (probably most of my life) I thank you sincerely for your very honest account on this subject. Your Substack has given me the tools and advice I need to protect my daughter from future harm, truly invaluable. 🙏
I spent 40+ years in medical practice and my advice to everyone is to be very suspicious of any doctor that claims to know how to prevent disease. Vaccinations of any kind would be very high on my list of things to avoid. Many of the commonly prescribed medications would not be far behind. Most are given to affect metrics that are not real diseases such as cholesterol and blood glucose levels that have been defined down so that a large proportion of people require "treatment".
OK, you've stepped on a rusty nail in your backyard. Do you get a tetanus shot or not?
No. I would treat it as I do the frequent cuts and scrapes that I get working in the garden---cleanse with hydrogen peroxide and apply neosporin ointment, then cover with a band aid. With a puncture wound I would flush it with peroxide with a bulb syringe first.
No. Vitamin C treats tetanus. Look up Marcella Piper-Terry’s substack. She wrote on tetanus. Or look up Dr. Suzanne Humphreys.
Was the rusty nail immersed in a pile of manure?
Has anyone ever isolated the tetanus virus? Answer is no.
If it does not exist, how does the vaccine help?
Tetanus is not a virus. It is caused by a neurotoxin released by a type of clostridium bacillus. The tetanus toxoid injection blocks the action of the neurotoxin and has no effect that I am aware of on the clostridium bacillus. Some say that the toxoid causes the immune system to produce antibodies to the neurotoxin. I don't know what kind of proof there is for that assertion but, if untrue, then the shot cannot be labelled as a vaccination. That said, no one has ever isolated any virus or grown it in tissue culture. The entire discipline of virology is built upon a very shaky scientific foundation.
Thank you for the clarification.
But is there any proof that this so-called vaccine works? Any double blind tests?
I don't know of any proof. It so rare in developed countries that I doubt if it would be logistically possible to run any kind of trial.
I agree.
I suspect many millions of people in the USA hurt themselves with a sharp object every year. Clearly, almost none of these unhappy events result in "tetanus"
Below is a list of diseases with similar symptoms to "tetanus". IMHO, tetanus is an invention of the medical industrial complex.
------ from AI
Key diseases and conditions with overlapping symptoms to tetanus include:
- **Strychnine poisoning**: Causes muscle spasms similar to tetanus, including generalized painful spasms and rigidity[1].
- **Local infections or inflammations**: Dental infections or local infections can cause trismus but usually lack the generalized muscle spasms and autonomic dysfunction seen in tetanus[1].
- **Bacterial meningitis**: Some bacterial meningitis forms may show symptoms like stiff neck, fever, headache, and respiratory problems, which can overlap with some tetanus symptoms, yet meningitis mainly involves infection/inflammation of the central nervous system and usually lacks the characteristic tonic spasms and risus sardonicus seen in tetanus[6].
- **Botulism**: Caused by Clostridium botulinum neurotoxins, usually presents with muscle weakness rather than spasms and has a different clinical course[12][13].
- **Diphtheria**: Can cause airway obstruction and sometimes neuropathy but does not have the typical muscle spasms and rigidity characteristic of tetanus[10].
Alternatively - have you EVER heard of anyone getting Lockjaw?
😊
---------- from AI
However, "lockjaw" or *trismus* can also refer more broadly to any condition causing reduced ability to open or close the jaw, resulting from various other causes beyond tetanus. These include temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, infections near the jaw, nerve or muscle injuries, medication side effects, cancer, or certain medical treatments. Symptoms typically include jaw pain, cramping, difficulty chewing, earaches, and headaches. Unlike the tetanus-related lockjaw, these causes often involve localized mechanical or neurological issues affecting the jaw[4][5][7][8].
My original question asked the question, albeit by paraphrase, "is the tetanus shot legit? Thanks for the clarification.
Does anyone remember the Bill Gates tetanus shot "experiments" performed in Kenya in which hundreds (maybe thousands) of girls and women of child-bearing age were given multiple tetanus "vaccines" that ultimately sterilized them. This was a travesty and the Kenyan doctor who discovered that giving these young women multiple tetanus shots sterilized them, was found dead. The story of the polio vaccinations in India was the same only these children who received six or seven polio vaccines over a very short time soon were crippled.
The funny thing is that it seems that in Africa "tetanus" only seems to affect girls of child-bearing age. Strange don't you think? </sarc
Yes, truly a crime against humanity.
debunked rubbish.
Yesterday I had a conversation with a Radiation Oncologist that was totally in the dark regarding the newly discovered SARS-CoV-2 Spike involvement in Cancer. We are sharing a mutual patient, and the conversation was important. Despite bringing up ‘‘spike’’ he was uninterested and became agitated that I even mentioned the term/issue in our conversation. He abruptly shut down and did not want to learn or hear about anything I had to say.
His attitude changed, and he became hostile. This is likely what makes up the majority of Allopathic doctors’ attitudes and indoctrination out there, and one of the main reasons that the centralized healthcare system that dominates today is losing patients and respect and credibility. To survive, doctors need to ‘‘change sides’’ and do the right thing. If they don't, they will be siding with the losing team and ultimately pay for it in the end.
That conversation with another provider started my day and was a sour note. However, by day's end, I was happy with the results of patient feedback that showed what I was doing with alternative and holistic care was making a very positive impact on the lives of my patients. So I ended the day on a very positive note.
I have seen this happen so many times...
My best friend in the USA is a doc. A mutual friend just died of turbo ovarian cancer. One month from diagnosis to death. The community we shared, had mandates for gatherings. (made me so sad, even the hippies had mandates!)
Even then, she was tut-tut-tutting about how much ovaries are hidden. It's like her brain couldn't go there. She did not know the word Turbo, and she pretty much dissed me. Kindly - because we are dear friends, but I could hear the cognitive dissonance starting to churn.
Thank you for having the courage to have a conversation with the doctor about the spike involvement and cancer. I have had several of these reactions (agitation, anger) from doctors I work with in the hospital when discussing anything COVID jabs and or side effects.
To this day there is still a surgeon requesting that if her patient has not received one COVID shot, they need to get a COVID test!
Paying your doctor directly is a valuable advice, in my opinion - not so much because of the idea that the doctor will be incited to deliver 'value' to the client, but because the personal relationship of trust between 'business partners' will benefit the doctor-patient relationship. I live in the Netherlands, where the system is socialized to the point where every citizen has to be protected against every possible risk and one is hardly held responsible for his own stupidities. Everybody has a mandatory medical insurance, and the GP is 'free' (gets a standard fee per subscriber per month, regardless the amount of 'consumption'). Hence the GP has become a kind of civil servant, in large measure functioning as a gateway for specialists, and a paradise for hypochondriacs and old ladies seeking personal attention, as the GP has become so much cheaper than the hairdresser.
How different were things 50 years ago: I paid my doctor cash after each consultation, we were partners, we had a deal, there was an atmosphere of mutual trust. Today the feeling of mutual understanding is absent, the call for demolition of the own risk for hospital and specialist is growing, potentially leading to completely 'free' healthcare like in the UK, which is a disaster.
The NHS has become useless for most things and I certainly think the GPs are almost pointless.
Wow! Thank you! It explains much of why I have not been to an allopathic doctor since 2019 (and rarely did since my mid 20s after a horror story involving one). By the way I will be 70 in less than 2 months. I wish I could find a doctor like you.
Yes!
Thanks AMD. This will go into my next blog post.
