When I posted this article, I assumed Milhoan was just fired from the Maui hospital (as I knew he was based there and since I didn't have contacts there to ask, I just checked the island’s hospital director, saw he was not listed there and assumed that constituted proof he was fired). In reality, he had previously been forced to leave that position due to his COVID-19 related activity and this new firing was at a Texas hospital he sometimes worked at (presumably by periodically flying there). I apologize for the mistake.
The utilitarianism ideological control inherent with the vaccine childhood schedule that is legally propped up by HR5546 courtesy of the 99th Congress that was convinced that only through litigation immunity could the vaccine schedule be a public health success story. Success not through solid research, careful clinical trials, or close safety signal monitoring. Nope. Success measured only by the absence of causal lawsuits from the unavoidably unsafe vaccine manufactoring process that HR5546 enables to this day.
So in 2025, nearly 40yrs after HR5546 was codified; all vaccines... ALL OF THEM...still remain unavoidably unsafe; still enjoy litigation immunity; still kill and maime healthy children in order to save healthy children according to the utilitarianism ideology; and still control access to K-12 and College/University educational pursuits or even control adult's livelihoods (job opportunities) as was the case during the plandemic.
It will soon be the 40th anniversary of the unlawful and un-Constitutional HR5546 and nothing has changed other than the significant increase in the number of unavoidably unsafe vaccines.
There is no other unavoidably unsafe product designed for human use that is used as a means to control the life and livelihood ends of you and me.
Control is inherent in cults. The controling Public Health utilitarianism ideology is fundamentally no different than the ideology the fanatic religious cults. Cannot question the doctrine. Must obey the mandates of the cult leaders. If you question the leaders you will be marginalized and/or targeted as an enemy of the cult.
It not just control ...its about a profit-seeking Industry , which was started by John D. Rockefeller of Standard Oil. in 1910...He promoted doctors joining the AMA, in order to, to prescribe his patented Petroleum-based drugs. He promised doctors higher Incomes by promoting his patented drugs...and Prestige from all the money they would make. The Medical Industry is all about promoting drugs and vaccines with its focus on its Bottom Line...not Health. Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, promoted a Medicine called Food...and a Healthy Lifestyle. Med School avoids teaching doctors about nutrition,, because it produced CURES ...and the Industry is focused entirely on its Bottom Line!
Excellent overview of what I personally experience in terms of information overload, and what I also see in the people around me. Helpful suggestions. To some extent the ability to scan and discern is an innate talent, but it can be cultivated. I share your finding that alternative information sources can be skimmed now and move on quickly because there is so much overlap. That wasn't the case for me when I started really examining things as a result of the COVID misinformation beginning in 2020, but it is now. Thank you for elucidating all of this. Your work hits my confirmation bias, ha. As a former family physician and family practice educator, not to mention vice president of medical affairs, I had to have these skills to do my job years ago, but they certainly come in handy now as well. I greatly appreciate your work on DMSO as well, I have found it to be incredibly valuable personally, over the past year or so, whenever you began writing about it. I too love run-on sentences, so I vote for keeping on with that technique. Thank you again for all that you do.
Very interesting. I guess due to my background and training, plus a lifetime of research to diagnose and cure myself from illnesses which were never properly diagnosed or accepted, I am one of the 10%. I just learned very early on that nothing is as simple as it seems, that most things we take as fact are based on shaky foundations (poor actual research for example), and that nothing is ever black and white. Every topic I ever delved into learning about, I found was based on sham hypotheses and poor evidence. (The Turtles All the Way Down phenomena, or just propaganda.) Thus I always know that my beliefs about what is true are just based on what I happen to have learned so far, and subject to change at any time. (My opinions do change constantly and never line up neatly with any "group' of people.)
I think I was also lucky that my early trauma and medical issues led me to meditation early in life. Learning to observe your mind's own lies is very useful to being able to see through all lies. Also useful, in a spiritual sense, is learning to see through all stories to find the actual truth of what is.
You said we could: "Teach people to focus on grasping the timeless essence of those teachings by allowing their minds to expand enough to see the nuances within those texts." But it goes well beyond that for religion. Those texts were never designed to be absolute; they are stories meant to be pointers to that which cannot be put into words. There is only one reason why religions encourage their followers to believe the stories rather than look for the ultimate truths of life, and that is so they can maintain power.
One thing that's very frustrating about Google now is that it selectively filters out information it doesn't want you to see and shows you sources from websites they choose from. It often shoves liberal discussion forums like Reddit and Quora, where users often use rude and snarky language directed at those they disagree with, very high up in the search results.
Furthermore, Wikipedia is usually the first result that is displayed when researching political topics, and as we all know, Wikipedia is extremely biased. Just a few examples of what you can find on there: they outright call Donald Trump "the worst president in American history" in the opening paragraph, refer to the slogan Make America Great Again as a "racist dog whistle", and confidently state without evidence that "Fox News knowingly publishes fake news and conspiracies".
I wrote about this in another comment, but I actually tried to write my own Wikipedia article about RFK Jr ("Make America Healthy Again") from a completely fair and neutral perspective. When I published it, the article was completely butchered and twisted into the current medical establishment narrative, and a top editor messaged me saying that I was "either an anti-vaccine liar or too stupid to be allowed internet access".
It makes me wonder, "who decides what appears on Google's search results and how high up it is placed?" My rant ties into the main theme of your article because someone out there is placing filters on information they don't want Google to show to the public, creating the illusion that everything that appears on Google is "all the best information that is available". I don't know if specific entities or political parties are paying Google to hide or censor undesirable content, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case. Wikipedia on the other hand is able to maintain its left-wing bias because it effectively established an information filter by banning any conservative or right-leaning news source to be cited on the website (see its Perennial Sources list), while allowing unreliable far-left sources to be used.
So, what can you do to enlighten yourself when information is so heavily censored? Always try to learn both sides of an issue and understand why people think the way they do. If you always use Wikipedia, try Grokipedia (but acknowledge its right-wing and pro-Elon Musk bias). In fact, always acknowledge the potential biases of a source and scrutinize it to see if there are any financial incentives. And finally, use information that cannot be censored by big tech: things you've experienced. My real-life experiences with serious vaccine injuries of people I'm close with shaped my views on the medical establishment and pharmaceutical industry. If you can bet with your life that you've experienced something like this in real life, never let anyone tell you it's in your head.
For the past 8+ years I have subscribed to news sources from both sides. It is fascinating to see how both sides interpret the same event. Sometimes it is truly a different worldview on what is important, but often you can see them repeating talking points they don't really understand. Very often the information they are presenting are so biased as to not really be true. For example they say a politician said X, then you go find and watch the actual interview and find that's not what they said at all. Often taken completely out of context.
Which really scares me about deep fakes. Because when you can't even trust the original videos to be true then you have no way to fact check things for yourself. You certainly can't use internet searches or AI which are biased.
Are you a user of Reddit? For most topics they are reasonable people with honest opinions, and not rude or snarky. Of course if you're searching for highly controversial topics on a newsgroup, what do you expect. But Reddit itself has plenty of people of both political persuasions, and is not inherently liberal.
As for Google and others, I find their lean is really "pro-establishment". You have to go past the first 10 pages of search results to get past the same reiterated talking points.
The main thing that always jumped out at me about Reddit was that everyone had the vibe of "low self esteem behaviors." I asked a few AI bots about this, and they essentially said this was accurate, but primarily for the "the most Reddit-y slice of Reddit," with I think is a good way to put it.
You're right that not everyone is rude or snarky on places like Reddit. I used to read Reddit a lot and I saw many, many instances of people being very toxic, especially on mainstream subreddits and even more when discussing political issues. However, when looking past negative subreddits and politics, you can find a lot of very interesting and insightful content that you can't really find anywhere else on the internet. Not everything about Reddit is bad, it just depends on how you use the site.
AMD... I feel a great sense of love and gratitude toward you. This article has touched me deeply, by the sincerity and honesty I perceive as the driver of your whole existence. I recognize the same senses that you describe in your writing as core elements of my own life and it's meaning. It is puzzling to me that your essay appears here at the perfect time for me... when I needed it most. You see, I've been quite sad recently, and somewhat angry, with myself, having nearly died 23 days ago in a desert wash flash flood, yet having failed to convince three family members who are currently sick or dying, (all of them jabbed), to accept the realities of what the Covid 19 "pandemic" was, and how the health care system has for years been persistently operated on untruths, deception, and greed, resulting in their sickness and pending death. I am motivated by truth, as you are, and seek to make no errors in assertions. The future here for all on Earth today seems perfectly clear to me... it's not good for many... yet I cannot get through to my family. They simply cannot perceive what I see and argue, let alone weigh it for truth. I realize now, from your deep conveyance of understanding in this essay today, that the information I present to them is currently beyond their comprehension, and as it follows, beyond their interest. I am being filtered out as an unwanted anomaly, interfering with their desired, simple, worldview. An email from my younger brother a few hours ago said essentially the same thing as you have said. He was kind, correct, and asserted that I am loved, in spite of the barricades erected by others to keep me and my 'heresy' out of their comfort zone. I am grateful to you. I am bothered that anyone has dared to be so presumptuous as to be 'talking down' to you. I find myself wishing you had not experienced that behaviour. Your work is simply amazing, as is your work ethic. God bless you, and keep you, and let His light continue to shine upon you, and give you peace... And Merry Christmas.
I was told by a Autism clinician with decades of experience of experience at a univeristy level clinic. that the reason the autism rate has increased to 1 in 36 is totally due to the fact that the rate is calculated based on the number of IEPs with that diagnosis. And of course that has skyrocketed because it was not calculated like that before. Also the DSM 5 criteria have combined many developmental and behavioral diagnoses together and made it easier to give the diagnosis. Also parents need a diagnosis for insurance purposes. Straight faced, this accounts for the rise. End of story.
AMD - That was the best "burn" on Amanda. Or did I completely misinterpret your reply? Have you written about the Autism epidemic? Would like to see your analysis or theory on this subject.
I think you misinterpreted her reply. The line "Straight faced, this accounts for the rise." indicates she thought the Autism doctor was being very closeminded.
Yes, he began his presentation with this explanation about the rising incidence of autism. It felt as though he knew he needed to give an explanation to all of us in early intervention so we could breath a sigh of relief and stop thinking about the elephant in the room. I think it’s more than closed mindedness , it’s Stockholm syndrome and willful blindness The stakes are too high in these communities to ask reasonable questions about all possible causes or contributing factors.
We are witnessing the “mass psychosis” of modern man. “Debate” isn’t a thing anymore, either you agree or deserve to die is the attitude of the majority. Much like a Muslim…
More proof that mankind is DEVOLVING and “evolution” is clearly a lie.
One look at historical architecture or music is clear evidence.
Mankind has become so dependent on modern convenience, grocery stores, technology, push of a button everything, etc, that even survival is slim in the event of a prolonged period without them.
Doesn’t the law of entropy (second law of thermodynamics) confirm this…
Hi AMD. Another wonderful article in your oeuvre. It is always a simultaneously enjoyable and unsettling moment when one of our filters is shed and we suddenly see a broader perspective on a topic.
I'd like to bring to your attention some progress on one topic you mentioned: Mould Toxicity, aka mould-related illness, sometimes known as CIRS or DMHS. The NIH now recognises several more health effects from mould exposure above and beyond asthma and allergy:
The key additions (that were added around April 2025) are:
* Cognitive issues — Extended exposure to mold has been linked to short-term memory loss, lightheadedness, dizziness, blurred vision, ringing in the ears, and loss of cognitive functions, also known as “brain fog.”
* Immune effects — Long-term exposure to inhaled mycotoxins may promote inflammation and immune system changes.
* Mental health issues — Studies have associated prolonged mold exposure with increased levels or depression, anxiety, and stress in both children and adults.
This doesn't yet capture the full range of what mould-related illness can cause, but it's worth noting that the study the NIH links to on cognitive issues highlights one of the core mechanisms that mainstream medicine had not understood: innate immune activation/dysfunction. Hence, with recognition of one of the fundamental mechanisms at play here, we'll hopefully see greater recognition and acceptance of the many multisystem, multi-symptom health effects from mould exposure in the coming years.
I could be wrong, but I believe this is the first time a major health agency has truly recognised some of these extra-respiratory, non-atopic effects.
It has recently been bought to my attention the AI program/system called Heidi.
Taking over doctors offices.
I’m sure there are others, but Heidi is an AI program that records patient doctor consultations and transcribes the conversation then offers “advice” on treatments etc.
All monitored by an overseeing panel for improvement.
It can be a lifelong process to finally find a doctor you trust and feel comfortable with. (Lifelong being an intentional pun)
I wonder how such programs are going to improve the chances of finding a trustworthy physician.
AI is truely going F over these doctors and they are proving their own stupidity.
AI is government provided propaganda. I found that out when I asked a specific medical question that I knew the FDA was misinforming the public about and got the FDA sponsored answer/lie.
I try to "know" nothing. When one "knows" something, one puts oneself in a knowing box and only lets in what supports what is "known". This is fine if what is "known" is true.
Ruiz in his book, The Four Agreements, has as one agreement, " Don't make assumptions ". I've modified that to, " Make all the assumptions you want, just don't believe them. " After all, one can make a list of possible reasons for X, assumptions, and then start to eliminate them one by one.
So, if one doesn't "know" anything, how does one function ? Well, I currently do this by taking what beliefs ( assumptions ) I have and working off them. If something comes along to change a belief I have, I made an adjustment. This way, I am in the position not to have a bias regarding this, that or the other. Or, not to be closed off to other possibilities.
I believe that the above fits in pretty well with what the main thrust of your article conveys. In other words, an effort in how to go about finding out the truth of what's going on.
Discovering hidden assumptions can be a mixed blessing. For example, I recently made assumptions about one of your commentors and ended up finding out that I was completely wrong. The mixed part involves, seeing that, once again, I had made assumptions ( yuck ); and, then apologizing and ending up feeling good about where the communications ended.
Seeing something right in front of oneself that'd been there all the time, is a great reminder of why not to "know" anything. LOL.......
When I posted this article, I assumed Milhoan was just fired from the Maui hospital (as I knew he was based there and since I didn't have contacts there to ask, I just checked the island’s hospital director, saw he was not listed there and assumed that constituted proof he was fired). In reality, he had previously been forced to leave that position due to his COVID-19 related activity and this new firing was at a Texas hospital he sometimes worked at (presumably by periodically flying there). I apologize for the mistake.
I have always found following the money to be a useful asset when listening to "experts".
And the love of money to distort their thinking and/or compromise integrity
(First Timothy 6:10).
The vaccine issue is about control.

Out of curiosity since that happened, are the back of your knees sore or your breath a lot more shallow than before?
David Kukkee— thank you for this. I would say much the same.
Thank you, AMD, your writings are a blessing.

That's pretty much the standard answer the medical profession has been giving for years.
We are witnessing the “mass psychosis” of modern man. “Debate” isn’t a thing anymore, either you agree or deserve to die is the attitude of the majority. Much like a Muslim…

You read my mind.
Yes, the big issue is that the paradigm of germ theory looks at disease like war. Invaders cause sickness in this theory.
However, this is not so and what modern medicine sees as invaders are actually how the body deals with issues.
Sadly, modern medicine focuses on the symptoms instead of the systemic cause of illness!

MAHA is doing a lot of stuff but very few people are noticing or appreciating it.
It has recently been bought to my attention the AI program/system called Heidi.
Taking over doctors offices.
I’m sure there are others, but Heidi is an AI program that records patient doctor consultations and transcribes the conversation then offers “advice” on treatments etc.
All monitored by an overseeing panel for improvement.
It can be a lifelong process to finally find a doctor you trust and feel comfortable with. (Lifelong being an intentional pun)

AI is government provided propaganda. I found that out when I asked a specific medical question that I knew the FDA was misinforming the public about and got the FDA sponsored answer/lie.
I try to "know" nothing. When one "knows" something, one puts oneself in a knowing box and only lets in what supports what is "known". This is fine if what is "known" is true.
Ruiz in his book, The Four Agreements, has as one agreement, " Don't make assumptions ". I've modified that to, " Make all the assumptions you want, just don't believe them. " After all, one can make a list of possible reasons for X, assumptions, and then start to eliminate them one by one.
So, if one doesn't "know" anything, how does one function ? Well, I currently do this by taking what beliefs ( assumptions ) I have and working off them. If something comes along to change a belief I have, I made an adjustment. This way, I am in the position not to have a bias regarding this, that or the other. Or, not to be closed off to other possibilities.
I believe that the above fits in pretty well with what the main thrust of your article conveys. In other words, an effort in how to go about finding out the truth of what's going on.
Discovering hidden assumptions can be a mixed blessing. For example, I recently made assumptions about one of your commentors and ended up finding out that I was completely wrong. The mixed part involves, seeing that, once again, I had made assumptions ( yuck ); and, then apologizing and ending up feeling good about where the communications ended.
Seeing something right in front of oneself that'd been there all the time, is a great reminder of why not to "know" anything. LOL.......
