I received this comment from a reader via email:

The MS Society has long been known to us to suppress the toxic causes of MS such dental mercury and also Thimerosal, the toxic mercury compound used in the flu shots (given to pregnant women and people with MS, Parkinson's, ALS and other neurological disorders) and so, as far as we are concerned the MS Society is part of these mercury cover-ups. No one should give them a dime. They are more a part of the problem than a part of the solutions.

"Conversely, I know of numerous effective integrative treatments for MS which have been in use for decades that are still almost completely unknown within conventional neurology and in many cases completely eliminated the disease."

I would LOVE to see an article about that!

As an MS patient (thankfully with mild, stable symptoms) I was disheartened when my neurologist, replying to my question about the COVID vaccines possibly exacerbating my symptoms, gave me the stock "there's no evidence of any harm to people with MS". I had already decided for myself that I wouldn't take them based on Astra-Zeneca trial side effects I had heard of. No surprise the NMSS, along with AARP, were all-in on the vaccines. Consequently, neither organization has my support. AARP was already in my doghouse for their support of Obamacare. The Shirky Principle is spot on.

This is perhaps your most excellent post ever , Doctor. So many salient topics threaded together, thank you. Took me the past 4 years to understand what is really going on - once you see it, you can't un-see it, as they say.

The past 5-10 years things have definitely accelerated. That poor 90 year old lady, doing what she did out of care and love for 60 years. To be "called out" on a no-no that has evolved in this past generation, but when kids grow up one foot in reality, the other in a carefully curated simulation, this will happen. The Mob always rules.

The homeless/migrant problem is an industry which will not go away as long as "funds" can be delivered. How many charities and NGO's keep people (those you alluded to) employed and the juggernaut moving on. As long as there is a homeless/migrant problem, they have a purpose, salary, reason to exist. The bulk of those funds going to their salaries, healthcare, 401K, etc., and NOT the homeless/migrants. Manufactured crisis set in a perpetual cycle.

Right now Ireland is a case study in Bernays' genius. About to vote the word "woman" out of the Constitution, and to vote in the most draconian hate-speech laws in history. "Hate" is not defined, yet it will apply to Apple, X, Facebook and all the other social media companies who chose Ireland as their HQ. Of course, with a population of 5 million, and with 30,000 NGO's operational in this small inoffensive island, already under strain of an influx of foreign "refugees" during a housing and healthcare crisis, they are terrified of being called Racist, yet neighbor spied and snitched upon neighbor during covid. This country embraced the propaganda. So sad to watch.

These are very strange and dangerous times. Dangerous because strange is now acceptable.

Another thing that is never talked about. The same people that are pushing for self segregation now and the division between the races are the very same the pushed for segregation in the past. They are just painting a different picture now. Another reason they have to change history that is taught. They originally started segregation and many fought and overcame that inequality. They brought it back under the guise of white privilege so minorities would want to segregate themselves. They get the same thing they always wanted way back then. Segregation. They introduced abortion via Margaret Sanger to control the black population. They still use it under the guise of reproductive health care for the same reason. They have changed the propaganda on everything to get the same results.

There is no laudable human impulse which cannot be captured and used for evil by people who are trying to benefit themselves. It usually takes about five minutes.

In the UK, hyperbaric oxygen is the primary therapy for MS patients by MS patients at 60 charity centres. Over two decades ago I met with someone from the MS Society in the USA about any interest in provided hyperbaric oxygen to MS patients and was shut down fast, "The MS Society," I was told, "is nothng more than a front group for Pharma and so they woud not be interested."

As a semi-retired integrative medicine practitioner (TCM, orthomolecular, acupuncture etc.) one of my hobbies is musical composition with the goal of stress relief through that creativity. I noticed the transformation of the DEI movement in the direction you have mentioned and last year did an album project drawing attention to all the corporate “woke-folk” billionaires that were “helping “ to divide society against itself. Album title: Superwoke .

During the Pandemic I became burned out and dissatisfied with all of the prevailing “expert” narratives that you outlined. As a consequence, moved to Japan to help the Orthomolecular society here to improve. It is good to see that the spell is gradually being broken by the grassroots of society. Keep up your wonderful substack.

I think it was the Victorian Asthma Foundation a couple of years ago who found an 'expert' to say that other people having a wood fire was like you having a truck running in your kitchen. That's the state that banned gas for stoves in new builds. I noticed that foundations board included the head of an electricity supplier from the neighbouring state. Nowhere in their article did they mention air purifiers.

MS Charity would not exist, if there were a cure.; the same goes for all these disease-supportive organizations, such as, the American Cancer Society. All soliciting money , but never coming up wih a cure. None of them really are in it for a cure, but they like the money that keeps rolling in. Now, they are into this PC business...says a lot for the mentality of the people running the MS charity.

I figured out many moons ago that disease charities have a built-in financial disincentive to find a cure. And I am grateful that I was born long ago enough to have escaped the vaccine hell that awaits infants today, unless their parents see through all the B.S. No one needs one hundred vaccines before the age of 18. Talk about carpet bombing the immune system. But the vaccine business model is so lucrative and low risk that the drug makers probably will forgo developing any disease treatments in favor of vaccines.

MS has been ‘used’ for years - what causes it? - most likely a number of infections at it root cause- but that doesn’t make money. So, save your energy in trying to round up $ for these assholes who are using it for the wrong reason. Same with cancer. Learned that years ago after donating a ton after my mother died. They are not trying to find a cause- there are many and additional is what they’re putting in our food, water, air, vaccines, medicine etc. WTF.

Fantastic article, thank you! The main reason I am suspect on the MS charity in particular is that I happen to know three people with MS, two are all but cured - they certainly seem healthier, happier and more productive than most other people I know - both follow the Terry Wahls protocol. The third has progressively worsened over 15-years on standard medical care, and will now take part in a trial with an experimental drug. When the MS charity starts looking into avenues that actually work then maybe I would donate. But of course you outlined several reasons this is unlikely to occur.

The firing of that 90 year old volunteer lit me up. These stories will feed the growth of alternative medicine even faster than Pharma failures.
