Unbekoming, I love and appreciate every one of your direct and succinctly worded articles. Your messages are crystal clear and you mince no words. Since the 1970's I have read and collected many of the wonderful books you have so expertly reviewed. I feel incredibly lucky to have obtained a copy of Vaccination Condemned, published in 1981, the following year. Dr Robert Mendelsohn's writings further guided my childbearing and child rearing experience. I discovered Natural Hygiene and Herbert Shelton's writings by receiving a postcard from TC Fry (whom I had the pleasure of meeting at a two day conference in 1991). My third child was born at home. I had already ditched the pediatricians and all medical interventions for myself. Of course I saw the covid scam coming from a mile away. The reality of being healthy in my 70s, with no meds, shots, surgeries, mammograms, colonoscopies and medical bills other than teeth cleanings and vision checks, is incredibly freeing. Cheers to all my aware compadres on this journey. So grateful for your Substack.

Fran - I too, refuse all the mammograms, colonoscopies, etc. I am in my 60s and doing okay so far. No pain, no major medical problems - physical or mental.

I take many precautions to prevent disease. Mostly because I don't want to go to a western medical doctor.

I did have a lingering dry cough last year, went to have an acupuncturist treatment one time, then cured myself with Chlorine Dioxide.

I, too, had a child born at home with midwives present. It was a calm experience.

I applaud you, Susie. My home birth after two hospital births was a satisfying experience. I have looked for a practitioner for primary care without success, and the more I read, the less I want to be caught up in the system. I have original Medicare to satisfy my husband, but regard it as catastrophic coverage. I too have investigated and used CDS. And DMSO, and select supplements. All my best wishes to you♥️

Susie's avatar

Fran - My goal is don't get caught up in their pills/treatments/surgery system.

So far, so good.

Through circumstances beyond my control, I ended up working in Amazon.com warehouses, Hell Holes they call 'Fulfillment Centers'. It was here I met a man who was blacklisted from the medical profession because he healed his patients through diet and exercise, we all called him DOC! What a world we live in.

Avalanche's avatar

Sad. Still, reinforces the need for WE who pay attention TO pay attention and not rely on the ortho-docs!

Recently a neighbour remarked about her grandkids' exciting trip to a larger town for the weekend. The boys were both going to have their adenoids and tonsils "out" before a couple of days of entertainment. The organs were spoken of as disposable garments no longer needed. And a doctor was going to hack them out in a jiff so the fun could start.

This is what it has come to. It's worse than blocking the annoying signal or ignoring the score board. Such body parts do more than inform, though they do that with great reliability. It should be obvious. Nay, it IS obvious.

If we knew the commercial realities behind medical centres in rural Australia we'd probably feel slightly sorry for the Asian doctors who head them up. Only slightly, mind you. I have to see doctors annually now to keep my driving licence. I was told after multiple blood pressure readings indicating "normal" that I should nonetheless "investigate further" the possible advantages of meds for a condition I didn't have. Makes no medical sense, which means it can only make commercial sense.

What a world, where medicine has a commercial or ritual purpose but no human purpose.

Anyway, another great essay.

Devil's dictionary definition of doctor- A man tethered to a profession that is built on a foundation of lies.

In a natural, healthy society, the goal of medicine is to heal people so that they no longer need the system. In a corporate medical system, that outcome is a financial failure.

The ultimate goal of the medical industry is the pathologization of human existence and to convince every human that they have some "condition" for which they must be "treated."

For this they must make a journey to the temple of Big Pharma, the doctor's office, where they will receive the "sacred" cure for the ailment they didn't know they had until they received the esoteric "knowledge" from this medical priest.

The primary function of the modern "check-up" is not to see if you are healthy, but to find a reason to label you as "pre-sick."

Running generic blood panels and physical exams on completely healthy people is designed to create perceptions of illness and label minor, harmless abnormalities as ailments to be "treated." This triggers anxiety accompanied by an expensive cascade of unnecessary testing and specialist referrals—generating massive revenue for hospital networks.

This ritual turns a person who felt perfectly healthy walking into a routine check-up into a chronic patient "in need" of distinct prescriptions. This benign check-up with the "doctor-expert" acts as an entry portal into the lifelong pharmaceutical funnel.

Health policies, routine schedules, and regulatory guidelines have been systematically optimized to maximize recurring revenue streams. Health is no longer the primary goal if it ever was. The machine of modern medicine now functions as a profit-driven financial engine wrapped in the language of medicine.

In the end, treating the human body as a broken machine that requires constant, "expert" corporate maintenance is one of the most profitable business models ever devised.

The "aloof priest of expertise" aka The Doctor™ we see today is the shield that protects that business model from being exposed as the purely financial enterprise that it is.

Just the other night, pain on my lower right area got stronger. Nothing alleviated it. My husband finally took me to the ER as I was fearful it was appendicitis. I felt myself being placed on the usual conveyor belt leading to the merry go round of medicalization. Bloods were “phenomenal “ normal the doc said but he wanted to do a CT scan and left. I had decided to refuse the CT scan. Meanwhile, the entire system computers went down. Records, equipment, etc. it would have taken sometime to get everything downloaded and do a scan, etc.

since it didn’t look like appendicitis, he sent me home with a laxative @nd said if it got worse to check in with the primary doctor. (I have no primary doctor). I was relieved and feel somewhat “saved”. The laxative cleared some pain and it looks like to me the effects of travel from vacation, lack of hydration (3 weeks in the dry hot west camping) and an inflammation of muscles around my trunk and waistline, which I am using DMSO and a heating belt on. Plus hydrating. I don’t get flu shots, Covid or any other vaxxes. At 78 I’m in good shape and plan to keep it that way by discernment and staying out of doctors offices. Plus, important posts like this. Thank you, Unbekoming. Congrats on the speaking invitation. So many need to hear this truth.

After the Covid madness—in Russia, too, everyone was forced to get vaccinated against Covid—I'm afraid to go to the doctor. I consider them killers. And I don't vaccinate my pets. I suspect the pharmaceutical business is more profitable than drug trafficking, weapons trafficking, and prostitution.

Allen's avatar

The global pharmaceutical market reached an estimated total revenue of about $1.7 trillion in 2024.

Drug trafficking, weapons trafficking, and prostitution combined amount to around $550 billion.

What Americans call healthcare is actually a sophisticated sickness management system deliberately designed to be a wealth extraction system. Disguised as medicine its true purpose is to maximize revenue from human illness (most of it manufactured by that very same system) rather than create genuine health.

The doctors allegiance is to this murderous system. If they do not obey the mandates from this corporate medical machine they will lose their position which means loss of salary and status.

Virtually every single doctor out there when given the choice between doing what's right for a patient and doing what the system demands from them will choose the latter. Nowadays all of this is monitored in real time and various boards ensure that all doctors and nurses go along with the program.

Abheda's avatar

I remember hearing that the pharma industry's yearly profits had reached $1 trillion. It wasn't long before covid. Those few covid years added 70% to what had taken decades of grifting to accumulate. And they covered by acting like the shots were "mostly free." [We're PHILANTHROPISTS, you see!] As though they hadn't racked up these vast profits by charging governmental agencies, publicly-funded insurance companies, and/or health plans, etc to pay for and distribute them.

Baldmichael's avatar

The pharmaceutical business IS drug trafficking, weapons trafficking, and prostitution, only legal as if legal means anything nowadays.

Susie's avatar

Jan - You dodged a bullet by getting out of that hospital fast!

So the "expert" medical doctor said you just needed to poop and sent you home with a laxative?

Thank God he sent you home.

You have a lot of common sense and you are a great role model to the rest of us.

Good Job!

What happened in early 2020 was no accident...the wonderful (sarc) NHS in the UK went into full-on dictatorship mode...a lot of doctors who had a long-standing resentment refused to co-operate...The result is that, six years later, many people do not trust doctors, and stay away...

The situation is the same with dentists, whose relationship with the NHS has been problematic since the earliest days of the uneasy imposed "partnership"...

It has probably saved the lives of some people...

Baldmichael's avatar

I used to think the NHS did the best it could in trying circumstances, burdened by a population who had forgotten how to look after the basics in life.

There was of course the wretched bureaucracy but I thought doctors generally did their best.

Now I know, as much because of my own treatment for a facial palsy since 2018 to 2021, that the doctors as a bunch are worse than useless, unless you have broken something or bleeding badly for example.

When they said people were missing appointments because of Covid stupidity and NHS idiocy I thought 'Good, they might live better as a consequence'.

Thanks for a most comprehensive article. In thinking about what you have written, I have to agree the leading cause of death is medical ignorance. In 1961, I was handed books and told to start reading that I was trusting the wrong people (medical doctors). I silently scoffed to myself and thought..."What do you know...you aren't a doctor." However, after opening the first book, I saw two things that showed me immediately that my child's pediatrician was responsible for my child's bad health. I never trusted doctors again and it got me into a search for the truth. I would not be here today and well, at 92, if I had not done my own health research. Doctors study diseases and treatments...Health begins with the study of healthy people.

Susie's avatar

Barbara - Whoever handed you those books back in 1961 saved your life. It led you on a road of educating yourself.

Good job!

Barbara Charis's avatar

My brother-in-law handed me those books...and every time I saw him over the years, i told him 'thank you.' I was totally aware that he saved my life.

Shirley Britton's avatar

I cannot like this enough, but most of it I have already known. I’ve been researching cancer and heart disease since 2013 when they “chemoed “ my sister to death and then my mother from kidney failure due to her taking eleven prescriptions for years. Death for profit.

Susie's avatar

My neighbor who was recently diagnosed with cancer and has started on the merry-go-round of treatments, was mentioning that they wanted him to go in and have another test done.

I told him they're going to do that until he dies.

He has refused to get a second opinion.

He has refused my long list of cancer cures. Not too smart of him.

Below is a link to the list.

It's from Wikipedia which is not a factual website, as we know.

The way this list is worded states that all these cures are unproven. So I just ignore the unproven wording. Not sure how long 'they' will allow this online so I have printed out the list.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unproven_and_disproven_cancer_treatments

Abheda's avatar

"Unproven," of course, means "We know it works, and hell if we're going to not only pay for the tests that'll prove THAT; but which will also allow competion with OUR lucrative, toxic, ineffective-at-best, drug."

And of course, the "No evidence of effectiveness!” and "Unproven" WARNINGS! are always applied to healing but unpatentable substances which would neither bring in significant profits nor contribute to the genocide they seem so intent on committing, were they to honestly test for effectiveness and proof.

As well, applying the label “alternative” to a remedy known about since long before Big Phama existed seems not to be enough of a turn-off to many of us; so the word "fringe" is often added. Stand by for "conspiratorial" to be misused/misdefined for the same reasons.

Finally "no accepted medical use" is another of their warped favorites. Accepted by…? Oh that's right, accepted by the criminal cartel.

Baldmichael's avatar

Sorry to hear that. I suspect my mother's treatment for bowel cancer took her life at 83. Her mother lived to 91.

"Bernard Lown challenged the strict-bedrest dogma for heart attack patients and let his patients sit up in a chair at the end of the bed...Strict bedrest is now understood to have killed tens of millions of people worldwide."

You'd think that a profession that has been so wrong so often, with so much human carnage to show for it, would be a little less dogmatic and a little more active-minded, but outside of surgical specialties doctors are overwhelmingly lazy and incurious. In 2020 nearly all of them demonstrated total cowardice, complicity, and hive-mindedness. I've lost all respect for medicine as a profession and gained total contempt for doctors as people, and that includes most veterinarians. Anyone could be forgiven for thinking that they're all sourced from sociopath farms.

Abheda's avatar

Yes, veterinary medicine was taken over the Big Pharma in the last couple of decades. It's horrible.

Paul Vonharnish's avatar

"The profession is not the third leading cause of death. It is the first." [End quote] Yes, now true...

The modern 'medical' system is not a medical system at all. The "medical" system is a monopolistic arrangement designed by blood sucking corporate ghouls. For most persons, *there are no alternative modalities*. How many here know a holistic practitioner or can afford one?

The food supply is intentionally poisoned and water supplies are polluted with industrial filth. Sure. Go outside and breathe 'fresh' air filled with aluminum oxides, barium, strontium, and all manner of weather control modality. Be sure to soak up plenty of UV-C sunlight - now present at ground levels. UV-C deeply penetrates the skin and causes cancer and photokeratitis in the eyes. Hey! Skin cancer is your friend. Ask your doctor how to die without that ragged gasp... Pfffttt!

The chemtrails in my city are so heavy 5 days out of the week, that I won't hang any clothes outside to dry.

Susie's avatar

I was born in a hospital in the USA and on that day, the medical staff gave me a DPT shot and a BCG shot.

A muscle in my right eye was permanently damaged. Of course, the doctors recommended surgery. I was only 1 1/2 years old. Surgery failed. My eye muscle was still damaged and crossed in towards my nose.

I was fitted with eyeglasses at age two years old.

Now in my 60s with a lifetime of thinking my right eye was a defect and being self-conscious about it all my life, I recently came across an article online.

As a baby, I was not defective, I was vaccine-injured. And I'm madder than hell at what they did to me on my birthday.

How many other people are walking around thinking they are defective when really they are vaccine-injured?

It wasn't my parent's fault. I blame the medical killers.

Read, "Crooked: Man-Made Disease Explained", by Forrest Maready

David Weiner's avatar

This article ties many things together so very eloquently.

Not a "conspiracy theory", convergent opportunism. I love it. The description, not the reality!

I sometimes wonder how people WOULD die, if they (as a population) followed an excellent diet and lifestyle and avoided allopathic medicine.

Abheda's avatar

You think Big Pharma/Big Medicine isn't a conspiracy?

Definition of conspiracy: two or more people colluding to do something illegal or immoral...

David Weiner's avatar

Of course it is. But there are a lot of people who think that any allegation of conspiracy is suspect, no matter how much evidence supports it. Sometimes it pays to speak in terms that people have not been conditioned to reject

Abheda's avatar

Then I’d suggest speaking in those alternate terms, rather than furthering the propaganda and lies by essentially saying “hey, I’m not one of those crazy conspiracy theorists!’ I'd also suggest not buying into OTHER propaganda that says "It's not planned evil, it's incompetence" aka "It's not purposeful evil, it's just "convergent opportunism!"

David Weiner's avatar

I agree with you. I would never denounce conspiracy theorists . And I have never been reluctant to call a spade a spade. I often refer to the Covid era as a crime spree and the government vaccine program as an apparatus of fraud and coercion

“What was installed in the individual doctor is the argument.”

And what a wonderful job they did with the installation !!!

Have a few doctors in my family circle and when presented with articles such as this one and others, the response 99% of the time is.

That can’t be true because that’s not what I was taught in medical school !!!

Ted P's avatar

Another thing they teach, indirectly, to which most succumb: condescending arrogance.

John Roberts's avatar

Excellent point which I would agree with totally.

Avalanche's avatar

I've known a lot of docs.... and they don't (all?) start out as arrogant pricks. They really DO want to help and heal... So, I have always given them a wee length of leash because to have the self-protective strength (?) to CUT OPEN ANOTHER HUMAN'S BODY and mess about inside (no matter HOW inappropriate; that's not what they've learned!) takes cojones! Or to suggest the poison that is chemo? Or create the life-risk to some woman's baby by injecting whateverthehell s/he has been told to inject!

Ever met a military jet jockey? They're not merely (REVELING in) flying insanely dangerous machines every chance they get, they're being SHOT AT while they do so! They NEED that invincibility (real or not!). (Which, I must admit, makes them very attractive, in a dangerous sort of way...)

IS it condescending arrogance or an attempt to reassure and convince a patient the ortho-doc REALLY doesn't know will help or not "but take this, cause Pharma says it will!"? I used to describe to unhappy thyroid sufferers (when I was healing my OWN thyroid and adrenals...) that they could NOT just pick any doc -- and endos were usually WAY less knowledgeable about anything except drugs and cutting.

I would urge them to find a doc who had personally had thyroid problems, or had a close family member who had. They did not (could no LONGER) HAVE the invincible assurance (or condescending arrogance) to just prescribed T4-only drug and shoo the patient away. They, or their spouse or child, would cry "your treatment wasn't DOING anything!" Unlike a patient, the doc could NOT suggest a psychiatric med or better adherence!! (I'd also point out that T-4 is the STORAGE form of the thyroid, and if your body could not convert to T3 -- the ACTIVE form -- then you were NOT being treated!)

Hard to give ortho-docs the *grace* of ill-education and the inability or unwillingness to TRY to learn more... but if I'm going to give myself the grace for MY mistakes... I feel I must give it to them. (I ALSO pretty much never believe them! Really irritates my useless VA doc!)

Carla's avatar

How do I find a dr to help me heal my thyroid?

Susie's avatar

Carla - Have you considered making an appointment with a naturopathic or holistic doctor?

Those are the only ones I would trust.

Carla's avatar

Yes I have and any that I’ve met with all use synthroid or armour.

Susie's avatar

Carla - I'm not familiar with those.

But I live in a 55-and-older trailer park and see my neighbors going to western medicine (allopathic) doctors who are harming and/or slowly killing them. I have learned that our choice of doctor is very important.

Good luck in your search.

Abheda's avatar

I wish I could GET armour! What have you heard that makes you not want to take it, if I may ask? My cousin went to a functional-medicine doctor who after tons of tests found out what was needed to heal her hyperactive thyroid. She suggested functional medicine to me, not realizing that not all of us are independently wealthy!

Ahh.. the thyroid cartel. I could tell stories.

Abheda's avatar

I know. I often consider, in stunned amazement, how intense and thorough the brainwashing in Med School has to be, to have turned "the smartest kids in school" into these braindead zombies. I was once at a dinner party with a couple who were in med school, and the guy proudly repeated what HAS to have been told them: "People say we're arrogant - but we DESERVE to be!"

John Roberts's avatar

I can relate with your sentiment !!!

My father was a hospital administrator and both of my parents thought a lot of the doctors had a god complex.

So from my vantage point that comment made at the dinner party doesn’t really surprise me.

My neighbor just turned 100, born in 1926.

She lives alone.

Her friend takes her to the casino every now and then.

She doesn't like sugary foods.

She takes only one prescription for a lingering condition.

She doesn't smoke but does enjoy an occasional cocktail (not every day).

I need to ask her what is in that cocktail.
