As a former MD, I am watching the allopathic practice model implode. There has been so.much fraud, so much corruption that the entire system needs to be torn down and redone, and yes the collaborative model is a must but not until the current sclerotic edifice that John D. Rockefeller hoisted on us is in ashes.
In 2003, I started having debilitating migraines. I never had them before then. Most days, I couldn’t stand getting out of bed as the pain was so intense. For five years, I went to 20 different doctors. I was diagnosed with allergies and got allergy shots, which didn’t help. I was given five different migraine specific medicines, which didn’t help. I was given Naproxen, to Celebrex, to Vicodin, to Percocet, to Fentanyl patches, to OxyContin, which only made me sick and still have terrible migraines. I cold turkeyed off the OxyContin and thought I was going to die. It was horrid. I was told it was depression causing the migraines, not the debilitating migraines causing me depression. Lexapro, Zoloft, Valium, Ridalin, Adderall, and now Vyvanse. Then I was told that the answer to the migraines was absolutely hormonal. I had a full hysterectomy at 26, only to wake up from surgery with the same intense headache I went into surgery with. I was completely defeated and literally could not see the point of living. My dad called and begged me to see his pain specialist. By then I trusted no doctors and I didn’t have it in me to try. God bless my dad, he was persistent and insistent so I went to make him stop asking me. His doctor hardly had to touch me and said it was TMJ, a jaw disorder. I thought he was another crazy guy in a white coat, but I listened and did what he said, including wearing braces for a second time and eventually jaw surgery where 8mm of bone was removed from my upper palate. I woke up from surgery, face black and blue and more swollen than a basketball, but it was the first time in five years there was no pain in my head. I couldn’t help but go everywhere I couldn’t while I had been confined to bed by the intense pain. I’m sure I scared countless people with my face looking so bruised and swollen, but I didn’t care. I’ve never had a headache since and that doctor literally saved my life. I hope your patients know how blessed they are to have you as their doc, Midwest Doc. You are what is ‘extremely rare’ and what a precious resource you are for those under your care. I am truly thankful for all I endured during those five years. It prepared me and strengthened my resolve in having the largest part of my own health research and decisions. The insistence on the COVID vaccines by so many didn’t stand a chance against me after everything that happened to me years ago. I appreciate you, Doc, and all the knowledge you share with all of us. God bless you greatly.

I had my thyroid removed 15 years ago for Graves disease. Almost died post op from a hematoma, asked for help breathing and why my neck drains were empty but my neck was wider than my shoulders. Result? Gaslit. Told I wasn't clearing my throat properly and sent a gadget to blow into. After attempting to get in my car and find a hospital that would help me, a doctor parking her car saw the urgency and used her scalpel to remove my stitches and hematoma partially to allow breathing more easily. Surgery to repair the bleed took nine hours and lost me my parathyroids. You'd think that was the worst over, but no. I had to beg for replacement thyroid hormone and, when that didn't work, asked for a different medication. Told it was levothyroxine or nothing. That was Gaslit no.2. Every symptom of the resultant hypothyroidism - fatigue, hair loss, memory loss, weight gain, low mood, chest pain, muscle pain - it was somatoform, all in my head. Sent to Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and put on Zopiclone, Tramadol, Amitriptyline, Beta Blockers, Lactolose, Statins, NSAIDS etc. Went back, asked for my T3 levels to be treated, they were undetectable by now. Told it was not relevent when on levothyroxine. Gaslit for the 3rd and final time. Sacked that doctor's sorry ass and found one I could pay for, trust and work alongside. Got some desiccated pig thyroid, recovered all my health and haven't trusted allopathic doctors or the system ever since. As for the jabs, oh how I scoffed...
I was dealing with this medical blindness frustration in 1999-2000 when I published the information on aromatase inhibitors - that antifungals given for vaginal yeast infections could cause miscarriages. Doctors, especially those involved in infertility treatments, just could not conceive that they could be causing the pregnancy losses of their patients. They responded with anger and hostility.
It was at that time, that J&J and Pfizer went after me.
Masslighting - medical gaslighting the masses. Unfortunately, the blindness begins with "cure". Today, most diseases are considered incurable - ADHD, arthritis, autism, bloat, back pain, cancer, Crohn's, depression, diabetes, epilepsy, fibromyalgia, gout, hypertension, inflammation...
Many more are "there is no cure for..." the common cold, COVID, influenza, measles - even as most cases are easily cured. What happens when a cure occurs? Masslighting. Cured is not medically defined for that disease - so no cures are possible. Cured is not medically defined for any disease cured by any "alternative medical practitioner" - so no cures are possible. Cured is not medically defined for any mental disorder, or any chronic disease, so no cures are possible. Medical gaslighting has been systemic for decades. In the early 1900s, doctors feared there were so many cures they might be out of a job. Today, there are no cures - just job security.
The biggest living example of medical gaslighting underway since Spring 2020 is what happened in the hospitals and how that is being covered up.
This is a huge problem that the more prominent "Covid oppositional celebrities" ignore which covers up the actual crimes that were committed.
Watch- few will discuss this as they try to rationalize away why this can't be talked about.
These crimes afflicted mainly the elderly who were vulnerable, the poor and the disabled and most of these people came from insitutional settings.
There was no viral event that caused mass death, that 6 week "spike" seen in Spring 2020 was entirely due to administrative slaughter and hospicide- this is well documented.
To remain ignorant on this matter and/or sidestep these facts is inexcusable at this point for anyone who sits at the head of the table of the "Covid dissidents." All of the “Covid deaths” are fraudulent and inventions from the Pharma/medical/media cartel. The vast majority are medical murder.
Why do the top tier "Covid dissidents" like Bigtree, Kirsch, RFK, Malone, Cole etc., avoid these facts and not cover this regularly. It's disingenuous at best- I find it disgraceful.
The biggest story emanating from the foundational fraud of the manufactured pandemic is the mass murder of milliions of people through mass medical slaughter/hospicide/eldercide.
That was what launched the perception that there was a "deadly pandemic"- there wasn't.
I appreciated reading this so much. My son and I survived a medical error with an injectable while I was in labor. He was no born alive and needed to be resuscitated and transferred to a NICU in a larger hospital. We had transferred as an attempted home birth. We were told “this is what happens with home births” and it wasn’t until he was 10 weeks old that we were told the truth. If we had been told immediately (as they knew immediately) it would have changed the entire experience. To have been ostracized from friends, family, community for advocating informed consent during the Covid shot rollout has been one of the most challenging things of my life. To have been hurt by allopathic medicine as we were and then vilified so openly has been so painful but I’m grateful for what I have learned and how it has changed my sense of motherhood. I’ve become alarmingly aware of the importance of self advocacy and clear as to what I’ll sacrifice to remain aligned with my experiential knowing.
Thank you for illuminating these topics, we need more doctors to speak out.
I get that doctors go through a lot of training to become medical doctors. I also understand that the medical colleges are learned centers of control-by-prescribing-mediated-doses-of-poison.
I am a carpenter. I have invested at least $170,000 and 35 years in learning and owning the tools needed to perform the craft at the level I do. When I make a mistake I acknowledge it, throw the bad workmanship away and start again.
It takes a long time to teach an apprentice that trying to jury-rig some incorrect build NEVER results in satisfactory results. Throw it out (even complete cabinets or furniture pieces) and begin anew. If an apprentice insists on trying to hide his mistakes and half assed rig something together, I let him go.
Doctors however, don't understand the nature of what they are doing: ergo, they 'practice' all their lives. "If the medicine you are using is causing uncontrollable jerking reactions, don't worry: We have a pill for that".
Most peoples 'depression', for example, can be alleviated by doing something meaningful with themselves instead of being immersed in TV, video games, and social media. Go help a neighbor patch their roof, build a treehouse, plant a neighborhood garden. Volunteer at a 'retirement' home, the YMCA, or something meaningful and helpful. The results will be immediate and substantive.
Have physical issues. Get gaslighted. Its all in yer head, dear patient; we really care for you but there’s not much we can do. To help u live with it, we treat your anxiety with a drug or 2. It’ll cost you money, but what’s your mental health worth to u?
Take drug. Wait. Take more. Go crazy. New diagnosis from the ever-expanding mental diagnosis book. Change drug, go more crazy. Tired of living.

Another informative article. This "pandemic" has been the first time in my life, yesterday I turned 80, that I took health seriously. Yes I had an excellent diet from my mother and wife's cooking and along with good health and catching issues early with successful treatment (prostate cancer, shingles, polyps in intestine, etc.), I never considered supplements.
My fear of covid-19 and learning of successful early treatments, led me on a path to take many supplements. The single most important source of protocols has been flccc.net.
I have studied the immune system, microbes, biology, and a little bit of organic chemistry. It seems that each week I learn about another important supplement. Each Wednesday evening on flccc.net they cover a topic of interest. Last evening it was on berberine which I had never herd of and it looks like a multi functional drug like ivermectin that is useful to many conditions. Last night's session is not yet posted on their web site but I recommend it when it is available.
Now I have the issue that I am taking many supplements and have not found expert help to decide which ones are needed and the dosage. I have not set up appointments with appropriate people. Should I do that?

I sometimes get the feeling that when you tell your doctor that you are more interested in finding out what the cause of your problem is rather than tamping down symptoms you get very strange answers - none of which is an agreement to get to the bottom of things. This is especially true if you have several things going on that could be related.
I go to a PA (who I like) who I believe overly relies on a tool they use to diagnose patients and prescribe medicine. At least that is what I believe he is doing. We had a talk about it when I was last in and at the end of the conversation I said "My dad said to me when I was young - don't rely on the calculator so much because eventually you won't be able to easily recognize if there is an error and you will become less mentally nimble." I hope he was listening.
The PCP I see refuses to allow for a collaborative relationship. She is the "Doctor" and I am the unwashed heathen.
Despite my research into my situations.
The Specualisr I see is the same way. And yes, they are both on the Insurance gravy train. They both look down on me for not accepting the "innoculations" to improve my immunization to CV19 which I already had. Looking hard to dump them.
Yep, the fasco-Marxist left LOVES their money, as Prof. Weston-like in CS Lewis' Perelandra, they cling to the rind of what is left in their miserable, atheistic lives, for which pleasure, power and sex are their only raison d'etre.
Truth is, all of us are going to be dead a whole lot longer than we are alive, and the frantic clinging to power and control - think fasco-Marxist Schwab, Gates, Soros, et al - are all predicated on their f-e-a-r. Truth is, their fear is justified, as while God is fully love, he is also fully just.
There should be a investigation or study into the various mentally ill who performed mass shootings, or mass murder of any sort, (like the guy who drove into all the paraders), to see their vaccination status and any correlation. Seems like it's been an epidemic as of late.

%100. It didn’t take long for me to recognize what was happening with the jab.
I was a victim of the gaslighting technique as a young student in 1991.
Routinely I was told it was all in my head to stop acting hysterical.
Eventually, their unusual, not heard of before diagnosis ended up being Guillain-Barré and, yes, because of another understudied “vaccine.”
It took one courageous neurologist to call it what it was. They tried to break me, but it didn’t work.
Stay strong, people. It is getting real!
