..."Essential Questions for your Doctor"...whenever I question what the doctor says, they give you the how-dare-you-question-me-stare as if I am a numbskull and they are all knowing. My 79 year old wife had at least two CT's this year. And an MRI and several x-rays. I swear, she almost glows in the dark. The medical mafia has to lie to keep up the precept that they actually do some good to make you healthier. I have yet to see it.

My 89 yo Mother has had at least 6 CT Scans this year. Every time a new doctor is on the case the new Doctor will not use the previous scan. Hmmm wonder why? Tell that to someone who will only listen to there doctors.

Thank you for this excellent article.

Last September my MD referred me to a cardiology consultant due to arrhythmia.

The nurses were unable to draw blood for tests. No matter, consultation proceeded.

Consultant said I needed a CT scan, no need to worry about the radiation - he told me its equivalent to "1-2 months ambient radiation." I said that according to the scientific literature I'd read it was more like 7-8 yrs? He said it depends on the dose, so I asked what was the dose and he couldn't/wouldn't tell me!

Next I asked which contrast agent would be used - he said Visipaque, which I asked him to write on a piece of paper. He refused - just as well as this was also wrong, it's Omnipaque.

Ok, next..what other options did I have? He suggested MRI - but agreed gadolinium was used. He asked what's wrong with gadolinium? Well if he doesn't know, it's extremely toxic to the kidneys. I asked if it could be done without gadolinium - he said yes, but it would be no use!

Righto, what else?

His final offer made me explode in shock/bemusement and laughter, was he kidding? No, "open heart surgery" !!! And this was not treatment, but diagnosis.

I reckon he has an investment in the CT scanner and I am a very well-insured patient. The deception and trickery this consultant displayed is worthy of an Oscar and as I've found, he is one of many.

I just wish justice would come for all these condescending doctors. After all this seems where most of the harm has come from. Btw I am no longer allowed to accompany my Mother to her doctor visits.

Wow! So much for being an advocate. I know when I take my mother in law there is tons of tongue bitting going on for me. Plus she is of that generation that believes they are more like gods and believes them, despite my lifelong study of all of this stuff on my own on the side seeing epic fail upon epic fail working in health care for almost 20 years. I study as much as I do to avoid ever setting foot in a hospital ever again. Plus when you decide not to poison your twins with vaccines, you have to learn how to keep them out of there to to avoid CPS and crap like that.

Agreed great article and thanks for bringing up MRIs. I’ve heard they usually demand to inject you with radioactive dye so it’s basically radiation for MRIs too.

Kimpossible Truths's avatar

MRI's they play them off as safe because they don't use your classic ionizing radiation like a CT or X-ray machine... But how they do work, is they use a giant magnet to line up all of your atoms int this magnetic field then hit you with pulsed radio frequency waves to knock different molecules out of alignment to see various tissues. When the Atoms spin back into alignment they give off a signal picked up by the coils. Your cell phones and electrical smart meters also used pulsed RF signals and cause damage due to cumulative dose, same concept used in radiology. Once Chest x-ray may not harm you, but 10 could. There are electro hypersentive people who are made sick by cell phone radiation that cannot tolerate MRI's either. I had a TMJ coil tested on me when I was an x-ray student and the side of my face felt like it was burning. I was about to hit the emergency button but they announced they were done. When I told them about the burning, they looked at me like I was nuts.

Gadolinium is the only injection used in MRI. Radioactive “dye” is used in Nuclear medicine.

Wendel's avatar

Gadolinium is extremely harmful too

Dan J's avatar

Thanks Erin. I must have been thinking of PET scans that use radioactive dye. The gadolinium used in MRIs doesn’t sound great either.

This is interesting (and not at all surprising to me). What did you do for your arrhythmia in the end?

Scripture and Sustenance's avatar

I didn't do anything and still alive! I think it had to do with lack of sleep and low electrolytes, but I could be wrong.

It's obvious to me now how the consultation could proceed without blood tests - they're a useless prop intended to make you believe they're doing proper tests. The plan in my case was to charge for a CT scan and then put the patient on a path to illness, injury and death. It's the same business model mentioned in the article.

And BTW, Omnipaque according to the literature substantially increases kidney failure risk, which happened to my MD's cousin after a CT, who ended up on dialysis for the following 4 years and then died.

Well-done. The body heals itself when we give it what it needs, much to the medical industrial complex's chagrin.

Kimpossible Truths's avatar

Yes it does. Anything that needs a power injector to get it into the body fast enough that need to be heated because it is so viscous and sticky and lights you up like a Christmas tree inside, can't be good for much.

AliceJKeen's avatar

Thanks for your reply. All you've said is most interesting. I'm glad you're okay!

CD's avatar

Might want to see a Homeopath instead of a member of the medical mafia.

Best.

Katherine's avatar

I love your discernment. I'm curious, why do you think doctor death refused to write this down? "Next I asked which contrast agent would be used - he said Visipaque, which I asked him to write on a piece of paper. He refused...."

Joy's avatar

Probably because he wasn’t sure and didn’t want a written record

Erin Montgomery's avatar

Training with Epic- instructor said “ if it’s not written down, it didn’t happen”. Don’t trust electronic med records since.

What sort of cardiac work up exactly were they looking at? Was Ultrasound not an option for cardiac output and to check blood flow? I worked at a Heart Hospital that specialized in Cardiac only for almost two years. We would do calcium gated studies without contract but only on men due to the radiation dose that could lead to breast cancer in women. And By the way the Omnipaque can cause kidney damage in those with already compromised kidney function. The guy sounds like a real salesman who can't do his job without all of this fancy expensive crap. Wouldn't wearing a Holter Monitor for 24 hours give them better data if it is arrhythmia? I was having irregular heart crap waking me from a dead sleep after we had high speed internet installed. It stopped when we started shutting off the wifi at night. Smart electrical meters have also been giving people issues in the same way as well. The heart communicates via electrical activity and the excess wireless radiation is disrupting the heart from functioning properly but no one wants to talk about that, too much money to be made there. Plus most doctors have zero flipping clue on that topic either. If they haven't figured it out or done an ablation on you yet, I'd try finding a building biologist trained in EMF mitigation to come take a look at your home and see if that is a factor. You can find one on the Building Biology Institute website.

Scripture and Sustenance's avatar

yes, ultrasound was part of the expensive theatre they performed, and the result was "inconclusive" - what a surprise.

I had initially presented them with an ekg printout from a naturopath showing abnormal R-wave - of course this was not professional like their ekg machine - however the nurse said R-wave was perfect during the assessment.

After that, low and behold, the consultant said it was abnormal...now where did he get that piece of information?

This year, when I went for my compulsory driver's medical (over age 75 NSW Aust), they finally were able to measure a higher blood pressure. They wouldn't say how high, but a win's a win, right?

Because my car was in service I'd just walked through the bush for two hours to make the appointment. Did anybody ask me if I'd just done anything strenuous? Why, that would only spoil the moment.

Anyway, people over 75 aren't supposed to walk for hours through scrub. They're supposed to stay supine and pop blood pressure meds...which are a nice lead-in to statins, CT scans and colonoscopies.

dieSchwarzeKatze's avatar

They really wouldn't tell you what your blood pressure was?! You have a right to know your own test result!

Robert Townshend's avatar

Really, I wasn't interested. I suspect blood pressure is something of a junk statistic outside very limited parameters.

Using chemicals like Ibuprofen, blood pressure meds, statins etc to interfere with my body's variations is a form of poisoning to achieve an unwanted and unnatural stasis.

But don't tell Louis Pasteur and the rest of the Nobel-clutching wankers.

CM Maccioli's avatar

Nobel-clutching wankers!!! Good one. I'm still laughing.

They didn't tell your BP because there was nothing to tell. Get it?

If you were high they woulda been on you like stick on shit.

dieSchwarzeKatze's avatar

I agree. I'm sure the result would not have convinced you to start taking meds, it's just the principal of it, that they wouldn't tell. But, sounds like this was a quick "check-the-box" visit, maybe better to get out of there as quickly as possible!

"The most profound yet little-known insight from this analysis is the concept of "statistical murder in slow motion.""

This is the entire global corporate enterprise risk/reward assessment strategy. Will the harms/murders be documented before those of us authorizing it have pocketed our millions and moved on? If it takes a decade or more, they're going to do it.

Big Pharma does this with almost every drug or therapy. Medical associations teach doctors and clinics how to increase profits....

Big Auto does it with vehicle safety recalls.

Governments do it with mRNA bioweapons jabs (oh, sorry. Too soon?).

Airlines do it...

The profit amount is now too big for executives and boards of directors to resist if they do not have to see anyone they harm face to face and they can make generational wealth through the exploit.

Sad state, but we've lost our way ethically and morally.

Juniorwheelhoss's avatar

Wow, very thorough and well researched article!

I tried for years to limit CT use in ER patients, with very little success, unfortunately.

Properly informing patients of risks will help somewhat, no doubt.

Thanks for that info - Oi I might be in trouble. I've had tons of imaging (MRI, CT scans, x-rays) throughout 8 surgeries in the past 5 years. I think I may be glowing. I'm glad Jesus coming soon :)

Robert Mileur's avatar

Go figure, when have doctors actually cured you of something

CD's avatar

Indeed. The body heals itself, and the "doctor" takes the credit. Lol.

They are now stating that by age 85 one in two people will be diagnosed with cancer.

Who is claiming this? I don't know, but I saw it on a digital billboard inside a regional shopping center:).

Christina McAleer's avatar

In addition to all the imaging folks are getting, the COVID-19 vaccines are also helping increase the cancer numbers. The p53 tumor suppressor gene is now being turned off in many. It’s all very sad and not the way things should be. Humanity is being sacrificed for profits. Evil.

CM Maccioli's avatar

I heard the same about men. Any man who lives beyond 80 will have prostate cancer. For sure, no guessing, definitely, positively. Well, here's my prognostication: if you don't bend over for these closet fags, you will NEVER get prostate cancer.

Melissa's avatar

Wonderful, wonderful article!!!

I wish I could share it widely, but there are either regional differences in nomenclature or editing glitches that preclude it: “Urologists joke about removing ‘a uterus or two each month to pay the rent.’ Radiologists order CT scans knowing that blood pressure readings vary by 14 points naturally but pretend a single elevated reading justifies lifelong medication.”

In the US almost no urologists performance hysterectomies; that is done (and yes, all too frequently unnecessarily) by gynecologists or occasionally urogynecologists.

Similarly, radiologists don’t directly see patients, they themselves don’t prescribe long term medications, nor would they likely notice BP readings in the electronic medical record into which they upload their findings.

An aside, the EMR has been *designed* to be so clumsy that doctors can hardly find information they know is there; the EMR should be renamed EMG - “electronic mistake generator.” Of course these mistakes generate their own income.

So yes, yes, yes, to the essence of this article! But the above discrepancies — even with a disclaimer that they seem to be based on regionalisms — are going to make the rest of the extremely important content, and source, suspect.

With respect,

Melissa

The devious is built into the system. Brilliant and beyond despicable at once. Most of those in the system think they are doing the right thing perpetuating the damage. I think time is nearly up on this reality.

I really don't get these so-called "specialists" doctors that never existed in my day. I mean, I get it, lets share the wealth, but who on God's green acre thinks a specialist who looks up or down your private holes is.a person you'd want to have lunch with, much less a handshake.

A specialist, hum, that word has a different meaning today. A specialist, like a mechanic or a cleaner, is someone who can take you out, by whatever skill set he has, without leaving any evidence, nary a trace, that he did the crime. Let that sink in, next time you see a specialist.

Every market--including info-lopsided evil-cynical rigged rackets like this one--operates on some sort of demand 'pull' from 'customers,' however deceived, oppressed, and powerless they may be.

As such, it behooves us to look beyond informed self-advocacy (which I heartily applaud; kudos to you for this work you are doing!) to the deep root causes. How deep?

Let's try fear of death. I.e., I'll subject myself to this MD because he *might* save me.

"Since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself (Christ Jesus) likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through FEAR OF DEATH were subject to LIFELONG SLAVERY." (Hebrews 2:14-15)

Excellent piece for our time. Goes back to iatrogenic disease (1975) of Ivan Illich, the great Austrian philosopher and Roman Catholic priest.
