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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I've been there myself... and I've experienced all the dangers outlined in this essay.

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.

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.

Isn't it wonderful how tough we are. We live through all this poisoning, sometimes in to old age!

"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.

“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 !!!

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