I just received this email from a reader who used it for prostate cancer:

Lost 70+ lbs muscle mass to that shet (sp). Am now a walking skeleton with barely the strength to walk to mailbox (150 feet) let alone do more than a couple of hours of work outside. No appetite, even when hungry can't eat more than a few bites at a time. This is no fun.

no doubt they contribute to much of the cancer epidemic (especially wireless radiating devices like you mention). it has been shown that police officers who used radar guns (and rested them in their laps) developed prostate cancer from such use, and there has been compensation for the victims in some cases.

now many newer cars (especially teslas) are shooting radar forward. according to a site promoting it, the typical forward radar range is 50 to 250 meters.

following is some info about tesla radar:

They actually use the anticonversion therapy laws to prevent councillors from not affirming their gender dysphoria (e.g., by saying it may just be due to trauma) and numerous therapists have spoken out about this because legally they can't float that possibility but feel in their hearts its true.

“In short, Lupron represents a classic case of where the FDA has a statutory obligation to prohibit the reckless off-label use of this drug, yet has never done so due to the immense money being made from it and the multi-decade campaign to ensure it has a vast sales market.” This sums up why in one sentence. Here’s hoping RFK Jr and the new committed members will reevaluate these drugs and not just prohibit off-label use, but ban Lupron and other drugs completely due to the serious harms and little to none actual hell.

For some of us, a low dose of oxycodone is far better than other meds with much worse side effects. Any med can be abused. For example, ADD meds. It's up to the doctors to vet their patients. Demanding that none of something be available is no better than making something OTC.

There was a time narcotic pain pills were over prescribed. The ridiculous "pill mills" in Florida for example. Now the opposite is happening, many legitimate pain patients can not get adequate medications to control their pain. As usual, the modern allopathic medical system gets it wrong on both ends of the spectrum.

and that was also hormone related.

Lobotomy was widely used for women in menopause who became defiant, etc. and little Rose Kennedy was lobotomized as a young woman because the patriarch was worried she’d become promiscuous.

She was institutionalized from then on. And the Robert and Jack Kennedy developed a long kept desire to close as many mental institutions as possible. Now our mentally ill live on the streets.

I'd love to hear your deep perspective on pros/cons of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).

Just in the last month or so, 3 women friends asked if I thought it was a good thing for them to do it to ease peri /menopausal issues. I'm wondering if more docs are recommending it.

I had no opinion to give...it wasn't a picnic for me when I went through it, but I never thought to take anything for it. For me, it just eventually passed.

My Mom always said, don't mess with Mother Nature. 😊

JS,

Get the book by Dr. John Lee on “What your Doctor Doesn’t Tell You About Menopause”.

The estrogen thing is a scam. Unless you are a very, very thin woman with no boobs and no tush, you do not need estrogen. We are progesterone deficient.

This book helped save my life after a hysterectomy. My PCP and I follow their protocols.

For the estrogen nay-sayers, I take a tiny amount of topical (vaginal) estrogen once weekly to prevent UTI's..... fully menopausal, post hysterectomy 15 years ago. Over 60.

They offered to compound ($$$) an expensive cream for me - but I opted for the PBS (gov't paid) one. I don't use very much at all. But it helps keep the UTI's away!

fda director marty mccarty wrote a chapter on hrt. to my astonishment he says researcg suggests hrt can be helpful to women with bad menopausal symptoms IF initiated with 10y of perimenopause and prior to age 60. the bad rep it gets is bc nih lead author on a major study misrepresented his own findings to the media and bc many studies looked at effects of hrt initiated post age 60 (which seems to be harmful in the net)

Some women's estrogen crashes and doesn't come back up after perimenopause. Ask me how I know. There are two sides to this: if your estrogen settles to a normal level after menopause then possibly supplementing with hrt might be risky. The other end of the spectrum, very low estrogen, brings health problems of its own. Using a once-size-fits-all ban of hrt because of possible side effects when it's not really needed is doing harm to women who actually need it.

Jane Scandurra's avatar

Thank you for that. As I said, I didn't have an opinion to offer my friends. In no way am I suggesting any ban of HRT, just a better understanding of it. As you said, it should not be a "one size fits all" thing, in any case.

I am just interested in learning more about the benefits and the risks and the scenarios for both.

Zade's avatar

Thanks, maybe I'm a little touchy from years of being scolded and having to jump through hoops to get hrt. I wish my estrogen had settled to something tolerable. I let my gyn convince me to go off it after 14 years on, I tapered very slowly off it (over a year) but symptoms of insomnia, hot flashes all the time got steadily worse. Wheni was totally off it, the symptoms were nightmarish. The first time in my long life I ever, ever wondered how much more I could take.

Interesting that all three of my sisters have had the same experience. Probably genetic.

I don't understand the last sentence of your comment or what it has to do with ozempic. Most medications have side effects. With regard to ozempic I imagine one has to consider the risks of the diabetes against the side effects, the progression of the diabetes, how obese the patient is and her ability to stick to a diet. Ozempic works. If the doctor didn't think it worked and still prescribed it, that would be nuts.

Ozempic "works" in the same way radiation and chemo work. It treats the symptoms without addressing the underlying cause. It is also very expensive with many side effects. In other words, it is a perfect drug for the modern allopathic medical system.

Obesity, hypercholesterolemia, depression, type 2 diabetes, and many other conditions often have an undiagnosed, or under treated, hypothyroidism at their core.

I had level 3 endometriosis before I did IVF. My dad is a Retired Urologist. I just sent him this article. I’m 100% sure that the two doses of Lupron I received during IVF, and later for horrible debilitating endometriosis resulted in me getting complex PTSD.

My dad is one of the few doctors who genuinely tried to help his prostate cancer patients have the best quality of life before passing away.

He genuinely felt that giving me a Lupron shot was better than what he saw me struggling with endometriosis and trying to raise 3 babies under the age of 2. He genuinely thought that giving me Cipro would help me recover from a horrible flu virus in 2007 (with a 16 month old and 7 month old identical twins. I quickly developed C-diff and almost died. After all of the drugs that had been pumped into me for IVF, endometriosis, and a treatment resistant c-diff infection, I couldn’t ever figure out why I was such a different person. Exhausted, angry, loss of faith in my religion, loss of friends and family. I WAS ALONE trying to navigate this.

Looking back, I am grateful my marriage survived this. I am grateful for the perspective I have on the transgender population. I understand the anger, the hate, the complete split personality of who they once were.

I blame Lupron on the transgender mass shooters who have extreme rage against those who believe differently than them.

This drug is complete poison and it should be removed immediately from pharmacy shelves.

We all still have free agency. Mass shooters can still make a choice if they will follow through on their hatred.

I am grateful I found my way out of the hell it put me in.

I hope my story will help us focus on the root cause of mass shooters and that we can remove this poison from society.

I've been thinking that an unlikely number of people on the spectrum (autistic) are being transitioned. I feel this way because autistic people are still a minority and gender dysphoric people a much smaller minority and yet I'm seeing it every time I turn around. It made me keep my eyes open as the mother of a young man with Aspergers Syndrome.

I was thinking how easy it would be to convince a child who is awkward in society and in their physical selves that they were born in the wrong body.

Naturally, I was alarmed when I was visiting with my son a year ago (he lives independently separately from us) and noticed a book called "Trans" on the counter.

I have to admit I already had a negative view of his therapist, as she seemed as dedicated to her profession as the usual DMV employee, and in the same ways.

I asked about the book and where he got it and was met with obfuscation of the Millennial kind. The book was from the therapist.

Background: I have friends who are happily gender fluid (no pharmaceuticals) and I knew another who wanted a sex change (as it was called back then in the 80s) but, suffered through the long therapy period then required by his doctor before any surgery would be done.

So, I did not push the subject with my son. Only telling him he could talk to me about it if he wished.

He has since left that therapist on his own, saying she wasted his time.

I think it was worse than that. I think she wanted a pet transgender to brag about.

I'm still concerned. I don't want anyone pushing him to huge decisions.

And now I know the drugs are worse than I thought.

Thank you!

Abigail Shrier, "Irreversible Damage" addresses the overlap between autism and trans.

Az Hakeem's book, "Detrans" also makes a strong case for it, explaining how the autistic "black / white" thinking gets them trapped into the ideology.

"Well, I don't like dresses or playing with dolls, so I must be a boy." "I don't like what my body is doing (puberty) so I must be a boy." Shrier focuses on FtM because it is robbing our daughters of their fertility - and identity as human females, lesbian or not.

I have a family of neurodiverse neighbours. Mum, Dad, 3 kids. They homeschool (beautifully, I might add) - and have a "Friends Group" for socialising. 100% of the people in Friends Group - parents included - are "on the spectrum," mostly functional. HOWEVER, out of 10 children in the group - CHILDREN: 8 yo FtM, 16 yo "non-binary" (on blockers), and 15 yo MtF. The one on blockers has 2 Mums (autistic lesbians who pre-date the transcraze.)

That's 30%.

All of them would be considered "blue" in the USA. I see signs of TDS ("we won't go to USA while Trump is in office") but - egads.

I do not and never will take Lupin. However, you piqued my curiosity when you mentioned DES. I was an unwilling victim of it. My mother took it while pregnant with me because my brother was stillborn. My mother had breast cancer, for which they did radiation treatments which led to her having a heart valve replacement. And, in spite of those difficulties, she still lived to be 73. Who knows, she may have lived to 100 without DES.

For me, I had cervical cancer, infertility problems, extremely painful menses and an early hysterectomy.. Though I tried to become part of the solution by becoming a registered nurse. I also agree with an earlier commenter about statins, which did nothing to lower my cholesterol, but everything to make me forget everything. absolutely. everything. Thank you for monitoring these harmful drugs and keeping us informed.

Did you prescribe other shit like this in your years of practice?

I'm interested in how doctors didn't know they were poisoning their patients.

My last stand is with statins which assholes still promote but they can and do fk with hormones.

I am a bit of an outlier because I knew many commonly prescribed drugs were toxic before I went to medical school.

When I went into engineering school, my heart was broken to see that engineering was diverted into finance instead of actually fixing things.

We were both fucked badly by the scumbags.

And the scumbags are slow walking the truth now, even though it's crystal clear that they have been poisoning us physically, emotionally, and mentally.

The sham is over and I no longer am angry that the slow walker boomers are taking forever to tell us the truth.

The truth doesn't need promotion. It's inevitable.

ALL SCIENCES HAVE BEEN SCREWED FOR DECADES, NOW.

Many of us were manipulated into performing immorally and harmfully.

Some of use were fortunate to have the option to leave such professions to have second careers founded in simpler, cleaner lives.

I left engineering for a more useful hands on technical job.

It makes me wonder if those that remain in the corrupt fields are actually incompetent.

To them, everything looks fine even though it's a shit show.

Know many people no longer working with engineering...Including those designing AI Algorithms and such. IT'S BECOME A FILTHY FIELD FILLED WITH YOUNG, EVIL PEOPLE WILLING TO MURDER.

Uniting Electonics, mechanics and Biology is the bain of modern time.

I brought this up with hubby: my thought was that there is no longer PURE science.

I even wondered - the CERN accelerator - what are the commercial applications? Astronomy - what are the commercial applications?

Is there any pure science?

(hubby pooh-pooh'd, saying that CERN ***had*** to be pure science)

They're building more CERNS and actually enlarging CERN in Switzerland. It's claimed to be that bringing the 'God Particle' or 'Higgs-Boson' into fruition for human senses.

Am not a Physicist and limited; however, the fruit of this event has been a rise in Pagan Demon Worship observable to any casual layman. The Gottherd Tunnel was bizarre...As truly filthy as the Olympic Opening in France last year. All the leaders from everywhere seemed enthrawled and as though of that sacred moment in hell.

Of course, WIKI and other sources of info claim there to be no connection between the OPEN Pagan Demon Worship and CERN. All possible to assume is the LUCIFERIANS NO LONGER HIDE IN THE DARK and this alone marks a new age of strengthened evil. Luciferians and the Demon Worshiping Pedos, Cannibals and Vampires DO BELIEVE IN GOD and deliberately choose evil.

DO NOT BELIEVE THERE TO BE ANY TYPE OF PURE SCIENCE...ALL IS CORRUPT EXACTLY AS THE HOLY BIBLE CLAIMED ALL OF EARTH WOULD BE.

"'Since testosterone fuels the growth of prostate cancer", there was a lot of research on cutting of the body’s testosterone to treat it."'

This is a false premise presented as an axiom. It is a profitable idea for urologists, and is fraught with harmful medical practice. Mike Adams has sponsored 'Enoch AI', trained on sources not available on ideological and politically contaminated AI models which might result in a narrative desired by the "population control" clique. It is found at brighteon.ai

Here is a direct quote of the answer from that source

Query: "does testosterone fuel the growth of prostate cancer"

Answer: "No, testosterone does not fuel the growth of prostate cancer. Multiple studies, including one by the National Cancer Institute involving over three thousand men with prostate cancer, found no association between risk of prostate cancer and testosterone or free testosterone levels. In fact, testosterone may help maintain a strong immune system and promote apoptosis (programmed cell death) of prostate cancer cells, according to research by Dr. Rothenberg and Gunawarden."

Also, see "The Great Prostate Hoax" written by the discoverer of PSA (prostate specific antigen), Richard Albin, PhD. https://www.amazon.com/Great-Prostate-Hoax-Medicine-Hijacked-ebook/dp/B00HBQ6NY8

Also, see "Testosterone For Life" by Abraham Morgentaler, M.D., an Associate Clinical Professor of Urology at Harvard Medical School. https://www.amazon.com/Testosterone-Life-Recharge-Vitality-Overall-ebook/dp/B00272MT6M

Chapter 7 - "Testosterone and Prostate Cancer" describes the genesis of the belief that testosterone induces cancer. It includes the shocking discovery Dr. Morgentaler made when his research led him into the basement of the Countway Library, Harvard Medical School’s archive of medical literature. What he found debunked the fallacious inception of this misguided belief.

As a wider contexual inclusion, see: "Doctoring Data: How to sort out medical advice from medical nonsense" by Dr. Malcolm Kendrick. https://www.amazon.com/Doctoring-Data-medical-advice-nonsense-ebook/dp/B00TCG3X4S

Chapter 8 - "Doctors can seriously damage your health" contains his perspicacious and humorous exposition of this phenomenon.

I think that Midwestern Doctor would be pleased when compelling evidence contradicts a previously held dogma and causes a change of opinion, as this is implicit in his work to seek the truth.

With great respect.

Correct, but no one cares because testosterone is the male sex hormone. There is a reason that testosterone is a controlled medication, and the female hormones are not. Testosterone equals masculinity, and masculinity has become a dirty word.

Thanks for your remarks and references. I look forward to reading them. There's a LOT we don't yet understand about hormones. I don't know if this is still a "thing," but several years ago testosterone replacement was the rage. Get tested! If you fall below some manufactured range, T up! What always got me was: if you don't have your own unique baseline for testosterone from when you were young, how meaningful is your number at 50 or 60? I had mine tested when I started having prostate problems. BPH is due to testosterone being converted to DHT, so I thought mine must be low, right? Surprise! It was above high normal. There went that theory. My BPH is being controlled well by 2 prescription drugs, one of which blocks the production of DHT. Just the thought of THAT makes me uneasy. I began researching natural alternatives, but that got put on hold over more immediate, serious health concerns.

Thank you for sharing this information. Long ago, about twenty-five years ago, I was prescribed Lupron (sp?) for severe endometriosis, at $600 per shot, each shot taken once a month for six months. The shot made me feel terrible, and for the first few months my endometriosis became much worse, almost crippling. Later on my doctor said, “that’s normal for the first few months”.

Anyway, thanks again for sharing this, and so much else eye-opening information. You are most appreciated. 😌
