Magufuli. In March 2021, ten months after he submitted the papaya, the quail, and the goat to Tanzania's national laboratory, John Magufuli was dead at 61. The official cause was long-standing heart trouble. Several other African leaders who questioned the COVID response died in the same window. The papaya-and-goat story carries that ending.
Blood pressure. John Haupt asked about hypertension. The 2017 American College of Cardiology guideline lowered the threshold from 140/90 to 130/80, converting an additional 31 million Americans into hypertensive patients overnight. The committee members held the standard portfolio of pharmaceutical financial relationships. The mechanism is identical to DEXA, cholesterol, and prediabetes — Group A in the original essay. Several readers asked about ultrasound, HPV-and-endometriosis, and antibody-based diabetes diagnoses; the four-mechanism framework applies. Run any test you encounter through the four questions and the test will tell you what kind of patient it manufactures.
The mantra. Tracy Kolenchuk surfaced what may be the cleanest summary of the apparatus: "Prevention is better than cure." The phrase is the wrapper. It makes the threshold-lowering acceptable to the committee, the cascade acceptable to the doctor, the surgery acceptable to the patient, and the gratitude acceptable to the survivor who never had the disease. The essay catalogued four mechanisms. The mantra is the fifth — the one that holds the other four in place. A system that genuinely cured anything would not need it.
I am 67. I opted out of my last mammogram when I was 55. Same for colonoscopy. They've been trying to get me on statins since I was 40. I'm experimenting with going off my thyroid med that I've been on since I was 49. Weaned myself off of all mood stabilizers, anti anxiety and benzos for sleep.
Nonetheless, my heart breaks because my 34 son opted for statins. Additionally, he and his wife took the shots and have been brainwashed into the vaccine cult. They want me to take shots to see my grandson due in August. I want them to opt out of the entire schedule for the baby. They think I'm off my rocker.
I pray that someone other than me will give them the message in a way they can absorb.
Stay strong Karen! My son and daughter in law also fell for the Covid shot scam. I’m grateful they do NOT want children as I know they would shoot it up with every shot their pediatrician recommends. And my son is already slightly on the spectrum. If they told me Id need a shot to see my grandchild I would say let me know when you’re over it, because I will not be injecting poison into my body. Thankfully my daughter listens to me. She and her husband never took a covid shot. Have a 100% jab free 20 mo old and another on the way in a few weeks. I just started sending her stuff. And she to her credit read it!
"Brainwashed" is the key word here. We have all been programmed from birth to believe what we believe. Most people just can't get past the possibility that most of what they know is bullshit.
Congratulations on getting yourself off of all of the meds! Want to pop in and say that I myself take natural desiccated, thyroid, and it works wonders. I refuse to take the pharmaceutical ones.
I was taking synthroid for 10 years and recently switched over to desiccated and seeing positive results already. My GP would not test my whole thyroid panel so I went to see a Naturopath.
Karen - I understand what you're talking about. I have a great burden of knowing my loved ones, included my adult children have volunteered for the covid injections - against all my warnings. They didn't listen to me.
All I can do is continue to take care of myself physically and mentally. As I recently told one son: All we have is one body. We are given one body to care for.
I'm also thinking of getting off the thyroid med and have already made a minor change to see what happens. I've found a few things online regarding how to do this and what to expect, but haven't found anyone else that's currently in this experimentation mode. Would you be open to private chats to compare notes? If not, that's okay...
As I understand it, when our body adapts to a drug/medication over a long term, it starts to depend on it. Without the drug, the body is in danger; sadly, it's become an addiction.
It's best not to start taking any medication at all.
Good for you, Karen Welden. Hold your ground. They look like they are going to learn the hard way. God knows. Vaccines ARE NOT beneficial to humans, only harmful. Pharma and their investors are the only benefactors.
ICAN has an amazing (and horrific) chart that shows each vaccine on the childhood schedule, what the "placebo" was (another vaccine), how long the study was and other info. Several of the studies lasted only days 😱. It includes links that take you directly to the FDA website with the proof right there. If they are like one of my kids they won't even look... But it might be worth a try. Also the book Vax Facts by DR Paul Thomas. I'm sorry they are asking you to vaccinate to see the baby. I'm guessing their doctor put them up to this. So sad! Thankfully mine didn't do that. I think they wanted my help too much for that and they know I wouldn't do that.
The concept of "manufacturing patients" gets straight to the heart of what feels like a massive systemic shift in modern medicine: the medicalization of the well.
From a sociological standpoint, it is fascinating (and deeply concerning) to watch how moving a diagnostic line by just a few millimeters or a couple of points can instantly reclassify millions of healthy individuals as "pre-diseased." It creates a profound psychological shift. The moment a threshold is lowered, a person’s relationship with their own body changes—they are no longer a person living their life; they are a patient-in-waiting, tied to a cascade of monitoring, anxiety, and eventual intervention.
As someone who spends a lot of time observing the "invisible scaffolding" of caregiving and health tracking, the downstream effects of these screenings are incredibly clear. The clinical trial data might show a statistical shift on paper, but the lived reality is a massive burden of overdiagnosis and unnecessary medical cascades that real people have to navigate every single day.
Thank you for pulling back the curtain on these thresholds. Truly an eye-opening essay.
My 97yo father suffered a rectal bleeding episode that put him in the hospital. I am 3,000 miles away and had to rely on hospital assessment. When the doc suggested a colonoscopy to find the bleeding source, I protested because it’s so hard on the body. Since the bleeding had stopped, he agreed not to do the procedure. I wonder what would have happened if I didn’t speak up. I’m grateful for voice-of-sanity writers like this one who push back against the “standard of care.” It gave me courage to disagree.
I’ve been thinking about something Hans Herman Hoppe said: you could spend all your money on defense. I realized: you could spend all your money on preventive medicine. How can a healthcare industry grow when nutrition and sanitation continually improve health and rich populations begin to decline? By making well people the patients of course. And at the same time using well-care to get people sick like vaccines or trans surgeries (like the Vanderbilt doc said - every “gender affirming” surgery creates a patient for life)… also, being in medicine that your life depends on like for diabetes or thyroid makes for a population that can’t afford to go off the grid …I could go on…instead I will join the chorus of thanks for this important article
I was reading up on Magufuli and his stance against the Who when this happened, and I will never forget this hero. He and several other African leaders paid with their lives.
Many heroes during the covid hoax have been murdered, suicided. I don't think we'll see justice served for those who spoke out against the worldwide tyranny we all faced.
2 years ago when I had a problem the doc tried to put me on blood pressure meds. 45 years ago my blood pressure was too high, and it still is according to the numbers, but it is MY blood pressure and I don't care about their numbers. The best solution - do NOT go to any doctor unless there is nothing left to try. Try all the harmless things first, because the doc will prescribe. 2 friends recently succumbed to it - one had a blood pressure of 100-60 but is on blood pressure meds and another, who has no risk whatsoever for breaking bones, under pressure of the doc is now on that crap you mention here. No use sending the article they do not listen to me 'because I am no doctor'.
Some people have too much faith in doctors and "healthcare" nowadays.
Years ago, I didn't succumb to the osteopenia finding/drug recommendation because of a book I had read back then called "The Myth of Osteoporosis." Ever since, I easily dismiss doctor suggestions to get a new bone-density test because the only "treatment" is something that makes the jaw fall off, and I like my jaw too much. I've not had anyone pressure me after I acknowledge the side effect that they don't want to talk about.
This might be the same book I read years ago, when osteoporosis was 'new'. The 2 people I knew who had brittle bones both had it from taking damaging meds (tranquillizers, cortisone). The doc I went to at the time confirmed it was no disease on itself. Thankfully at the time doctors where still honest. I still ask dad to ask this now retired doc for advise (the are in Europe and I am in US). He laughed away the 'diabetic' number from the doc here, they don't do pre-diabetic there. I think indeed, you should keep that jaw dear Cat!
I liked that book so much, I bought a copy for my library. Nowadays, with all the censorship, banning and history rewrites going on, I'd be even more inclined to get that book.
I see no reason to get an updated bone density test. My old doctor (who was willing to work with me regardless of my refusal of certain screenings and test), tried to talk me into it so I could see if there were a trend. I said no, I expect that aging itself would result in a "trend," and if the bone-density tests weren't baselined using athletic, younger women, but instead used women my age, maybe I'd think about getting the test. That made my doctor check something off in my file so that she never suggested that test again. 😂😂
same happened when I told the new doc I went to 2 years ago, that I wound not ever get any vaxx. She said, we do not insist on it. So that was that! It is good to know at least as much and preferably, MORE, than the doctor! Good you read up on it, too!
I was given a drug (Fosamax) for osteoporosis at the VA. I threw it away because it was non-returnable. Won’t ever take any of those.
They fill the holes with calcium compounds or something and on an X-ray, it looks like your bones have grown new bone tissue. Instead, the material that fills the holes is removed from the jaw and femur, primarily. What a SCAM.
The people who aren't educating themselves about their bodies are the ones getting worse by taking the drugs and having all the surgeries that their doctors prescribe.
Good for you. To me, it's a drug to just make test results look better. With its horrendous side effects, I don't even want to think about what it's doing to the jaw and femur. 🙄
We have to "doctor" ourselves and not depend on the western medicine staff to push us around. I do my best to avoid all doctors, and have been successful for the past 25 years or so.
I found that my health depends on what I eat and drink and the quality of my sleep. It's pretty simple.
One more addition to my comment - exercise helps me stay healthy.
Yesterday I had that ol' neuritis (I self-diagnosed this) in my left leg again. It means I haven't been doing my daily walking exercise. I had skipped a day.
So I went outside just now and walked in my little community. I won't take pills and I won't go to the doctor. I will fix myself.
I'll drink more water, etc.
It's just maintenance like we do for our homes and vehicles, right?
100/60 and was "medicated" for that?! That OUGHT to be grounds for a lawsuit. Everywhere one looks, it seems that M.D.'s [certainly not all, but *so* many] are becoming more and more ... I'm struggling to find a word other than 'evil' to type here ... Are we truly going to need a Nuremberg 2.0 in our lifetimes?
she was taking meds for high pressure - I have no idea what the high was.. but when the doc measured, she had 100/60, and should IMO have been told to immediately stop (if she ever needed it). This is not just here in the US, I hear it from family in Europe too.
It's not that difficult to take care of our physical and mental health. But it does take determination and a daily routine that might seem odd to the others who are just following the standard american diet, etc.
I'm 63, work with a lot of people in a white collar job for a long time. Very strong correlation between many doctor visits todo what "the experts say" and declining health.
And much stronger correlation between those that are active and avoid doctors/never do the screening tests and healthy into 70's and 80's and beyond.
Wow, such a great article, and a great service to thinking folks. The medicine racket is becoming clear to many people.
IMO, it would be difficult to demonstrate the few cases where establishment medicine may have unambiguous benefit, and these benefits would be small compared to the actual determinants of health!
I’ve been dodging the mammogram for four years. Just moved to a new state and after a year the gyno refuses to continue to give me hrt unless I do a mammogram. Says she’s concerned about breast cancer. I told her I’d do a thermogram and, a thermogram is not covered. I’ll need to find another doctor, but likely will end up with this ultimatum with all of them. It’s insane that we’re being forced into care we don’t want.
You are not property. You are sovereign. This may seem pedantic, but you cannot transfer control of yourself because you and you alone have complete and total authority over your self. You can transfer your property to another and the owner of property can exercise complete control over their property, but only you can will your heavy hand to rise to your weary brow to wipe away the dripping sweat of your hard labor, so no one but you can ever exercise control of your self, and you will always be the absolute ruler of you.
The reason this matters, and is not merely pedantry, is that the Juciferian cannibal cult imposing the global technocratic totalitarian tyranny believes that they are absolved of guilt for their crimes if their victims consent, even if that consent is gained by deception. The sole authority over you that is your inalienable nature thus causes them to damn themselves eternally if you do not consent to suffer their murderous oppressions. The exclusive love of themselves narcissistic psychopaths suffer imposes on them the necessity of obtaining your consent, and by expressing you do not consent you create the certainty of damnation instead of the eternal godhead that is their purpose.
While your silence is your consent by the dogma the cult believes, actively expressing dissent will render them powerless and permanently tormented, which will prevent them from forcing you to comply to being sacrificed for their fun and profit. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God. They believe you have that power to damn them because you are sovereign.
Did you have to leave your state for refusing the jab and because your business was shut down? Were you forced off planes for questioning? I was. I know how this goes. They did not win. I’ll keep going. It’s easy to play armchair quarterback online.
None of that has anything to do with the principles underlying our inherent nature, but are hurdles we can surmount by sticking to principle. I did not encounter those hurdles because my adherence to the stated principle prevented them from impacting me. I didn't get thrown off a plane because I did not submit to the security theater necessary to get on a plane to begin with. My business was not shut down because I do not have a business, but rather do business instead. No one forced me to leave or go anywhere because I do not accede to anyone having any such authority over where I go.
Stick to superable principle and simplify your life.
I did not address you before you addressed me. We both replied to someone else that had not solicited our comments. You mistook my reply to them to be to you, which it was not. Your defensiveness is all I need to know about you, as you clearly lack the courage of your convictions, and defend yourself from criticisms that were never made of you. You wrangle with phantoms you conjure and remain incognizant of my meaning as a result.
If you're on Medicare, the "wellness" gatekeeping test is even worse.
I've been dodging the m-gram for even longer, and also just moved. Idk how the docs here will handle this. I'm seriously considering just making up a recent date, as it appears that "healthcare" nowadays consists more of check-the-box data entry and collection instead of looking and talking to the patient. I already did this re Covid jabs during the shutdown period and nobody checked then. And the last time I got an m-gram, the hospital mishandled my case by copying-and-pasting someone else's, another reason I'm tempted to just make it all up.
Interesting. I have a new gyno (I’m a very healthy 73) who just told me I don’t need a mammogram if I didn’t want one. She said frankly at my age, mammograms did not extend longevity. Nor did she advise a colonoscopy. I think I found a keeper doc!
I like this idea! I was misdiagnosed 20 years ago with a suspected cancer. Thousands in tests only to find out the center had misdiagnosed thousands of women and was under investigation (CA). Really made me suspicious.
Also, on their forms they hand me at the doctor's office, I don't enter my Social Security number and I don't always tell the truth about my medical history, especially if it doesn't have anything to do with my visit to the doctor that day. It's none of their business.
The receptionist just checks that all the spaces on the form are filled out.
So for Social Security number, I enter the words "on file." They've never questioned me about that.
Yep, a kindred spirit. 😻 It's amazing how much info they ask for that is so far beyond what you're in for. Even dentists want to know all the supplements you take, which I don't provide. And when you want them to know something specific, usually their forms don't give enough space to write on. 😂
Lately with my changes in doctors/dentist, I'm seeing more offices where they ask for forms to be filled out on your phone and then submitted to a link there. Um, nope. I don't use my phone for things like that. I've had to call to get a printout of the forms to hand carry in with my next appointment.
The other thing I see is that there's misinterpreting of HIPAA. Or ignoring it. One dentist I was thinking of going to, had a form that had a checkbox for not only sharing your info with your insurance and normal third parties who need to know, but also for acknowledging that he could put some photos of his work on Meta! I went up there to look and his patient photos showed their full faces. Not only does a combined authorization checkbox violate HIPAA, but the way his form doesn't allow for declining the social-media sharing, was pretty blatantly disrespectful to me. Needless to say, I didn't go to that dentist.
In the DC area of USA, Kaiser Perm Advantage asks for the name /address of the practice that evaluated the m-gram, so saying you've had it may not work. I believe my "Evidence of Coverage" document gives me the legal right to refuse it.
KaiserPermanente is private health ins., (Medicare Advantage) with an exclusive contract with the US gov. The MDs there are all "institutional MDs" which means they all follow the dictates of their CEO and Board of Business Directors. Their biz goal is to bill the Gov agency HHS-CMS for as many services as the contract allows. Yes, M-grams are covered and heavily pushed on enrollees in their Advantage contract.
If you follow the controversies btw. the institutional medical agencies like CDC, AMA, ACA, NIH, etc. there are long-established and intransigent "evidence-based" traditions pushing M-grams and many other tests (DEXA scans, colonoscopies, etc.).
In my opinion, RFK Jr in his short tenure as HHS Sec. won't get very far with his reforms as his views are with the dissident MD groups. One of them is ImaHealth.org, which grew out of the protest against the new, untested mRNA vaccine technology that was intro'ed with the engineered covid scare. I am over-simplifying a lot, but theres a lot to cover.
Perhaps you’re not aware of it, but that comes across a bit rude. There is a LOT of new data and research if you care to look at it about the value of HRT for women. I suffered for 6 years before I decided I would live happily instead of fighting the sweats, fatigue and all that comes with it. And yes, I am healthy, I’m an athlete and also work training naturopaths and regenerative doctors.
You can make it through menopause etc. without hrt, if that is why you take them. The hormones themselves are heavily linked to cancer. Look for natural alternatives and dietal adjustments. I am 63 and I am in perfect health. I got off the medical treadmill decades ago and look and feel great thanks to a diet of almost no sugar, no preservatives, no seed oils, little dairy and whole foods. (Also, yam creams and supplements such as maca work wonders with hormonal transitions). Gynecology is just as much a non-problem finding treadmill as the rest.
This article is outstanding!! I’ve been a nurse for 47 years and started questioning things about 25 years ago. I did a lot of the research in this article. It’s astounding how dangerous the medical field is. All about $$$$$. And I can tell you, most doctors don’t give a damn.
This article is a great read! I quit the periodical screening that is done here in the Netherlands years ago.
Some years back I learned this: The Greek word for “sorceries” in verse 23 is “pharmakeia” [far-mak-i’-ah] - and since knowing that it all made sense to me.
Never fell for any of it after my arm swelled up after getting a shot with TB in grade school. The fact that my body showed strong immune reaction to TB had everyone in a tizzy. "You've been exposed to TB!" They said I should have chest Xray every year to see if TB was growing in my lungs. I went once & saw the scam. I was around 10 years old. Luckily, my mom supported me. Nope. I knew it was all scare tactic scam stuff. I'm 76 & feel well.
I had BCG vax for TB in 1976. I was very ill (temp at least 104F) for 2 weeks in boarding school sanatorium and only got my full strength back at the end of the summer.
It was only after 2020 and Covid scam that I began to think that the two were connected.
I have had only 3 of these tests and none in almost 5 years. At age 76, my testing days are over unless something becomes a life and death emergency. But how many of these kind of emergencies can be expected in a life time? I have had a few emergencies, but none quite so life threatening.
$6,400 for a CT scan (last year it was $5,900) ...no wonder they pass them out like candy. I think my wife has had 4-5 in the last 16 months and none were for emergency situations. There is no proof positive that having the monsters of medicine cultivate through your body will make much difference in how long you might live. It's all a game of fear as those who you trust to know more than you ply your fears for extreme profits.
The crazier thing is that if they do tests and find "something", 90% of the time they have no real cure anyway. They will always be guessing with your health and life.
This 100% Confirms my suspicions and beliefs born out my own life experiences with allopathic medicine. Being a victim of iatrogenic medicine for a little over 25yrs
I said NO MORE‼️ to endless scans and Pharmaceuticals, 21 to be specific. I’ve been Pharma free,vax free, scan free, Dr Free for 13 years. At 77 I have no more pain, problems that can’t be remedied by my kitchen spice cupboard. I had a kidney stone 3 years ago dissolved by Castor Oil Compresses. I eat a Keto diet that eliminated my Diabetes. I refused metaphormen for 30yrs. A minor depression lead to drugs that caused tremors & a fictional Parkinson’s Disgnosis! They will kill you while turning you into an Income Generator for Dr’s, BiG Pharma and the Corporate Health System‼️Run far and get yourself Healthy! Walk every day,eat real food and get A Spice Cupboard and Nutritional Supplements!
Thank you but it’s all inspired by the LORD to care for my body He gave me. The principles and remedies I follow are GOD’s Own Creation. I believe GOD designed our bodies to heal itself by following Biblical precepts and care of it. By Much prayer and fasting GOD does it ALL, to GOD be the Glory!🙌
The better the insurance, the higher the level of treatment. By that I mean they will treat and treat and treat until the patient dies.
I had an insurance that required I go to an annual exam. I went. Told the doctor that a mammogram is not preventive medicine, vaccines are not preventive medicine, that a pap smear is not preventive medicine. He asked why I was there. I told him because I was required to for continued coverage.
Then they billed me instead of the insurance. This took over 2 years to stop billing me (even after they were provided the required provider numbers repeatedly). I don't know if they ever got payment.
It's striking that an 105-page thing was issued by AHA to "justify" its lowered BP threshold. (https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/HYP.00000000000002490) I wonder how many people that actually look at that document, think it must be full of "science" based on its extensive footnotes, tables and bloated write-ups.
I especially enjoyed the Appendix 2, which shows the conflicts of interest.

Thank God for the people who use their gut feelings and common sense when it comes to the great Covid Hoax.
"Brainwashed" is the key word here. We have all been programmed from birth to believe what we believe. Most people just can't get past the possibility that most of what they know is bullshit.

It's best not to start taking any medication at all.
I believe you're correct. I started the thyroid stuff way back in the 1990s, before I knew any better.
Good for you, Karen Welden. Hold your ground. They look like they are going to learn the hard way. God knows. Vaccines ARE NOT beneficial to humans, only harmful. Pharma and their investors are the only benefactors.
They want you to get Covid shots now!?!?! In 2026 to see your grandchild in August??!!?
It could be other shots too. I believe doctors want all family members to get the nasty Tdap shots( cuz pertussis) and flu shots. Who knows what else?
Prayers sent. Angels on their way.
ICAN has an amazing (and horrific) chart that shows each vaccine on the childhood schedule, what the "placebo" was (another vaccine), how long the study was and other info. Several of the studies lasted only days 😱. It includes links that take you directly to the FDA website with the proof right there. If they are like one of my kids they won't even look...

Send them this sbstack, as well as the one he did about 4-6 months ago about the history of vaccines. He gives get references

The concept of "manufacturing patients" gets straight to the heart of what feels like a massive systemic shift in modern medicine: the medicalization of the well.
From a sociological standpoint, it is fascinating (and deeply concerning) to watch how moving a diagnostic line by just a few millimeters or a couple of points can instantly reclassify millions of healthy individuals as "pre-diseased." It creates a profound psychological shift. The moment a threshold is lowered, a person’s relationship with their own body changes—they are no longer a person living their life; they are a patient-in-waiting, tied to a cascade of monitoring, anxiety, and eventual intervention.
As someone who spends a lot of time observing the "invisible scaffolding" of caregiving and health tracking, the downstream effects of these screenings are incredibly clear. The clinical trial data might show a statistical shift on paper, but the lived reality is a massive burden of overdiagnosis and unnecessary medical cascades that real people have to navigate every single day.
Thank you for pulling back the curtain on these thresholds. Truly an eye-opening essay.
Catherine Austin Fitts calls our economic system an extraction model. Stealing our health, wealth, and time by these assaults on our health.

quarantining the healthy, treating the healthy till they get sick. And then when they are out of money, murder them.
Ingrid - You're right!
A doctor friend of mine says “don’t worry about dying, worry about living”…he’s not American as I’m sure you could guess!
I’ve been thinking about something Hans Herman Hoppe said: you could spend all your money on defense. I realized: you could spend all your money on preventive medicine. How can a healthcare industry grow when nutrition and sanitation continually improve health and rich populations begin to decline? By making well people the patients of course. And at the same time using well-care to get people sick like vaccines or trans surgeries (like the Vanderbilt doc said - every “gender affirming” surgery creates a patient for life)… also, being in medicine that your life depends on like for diabetes or thyroid makes for a population that can’t afford to go off the grid …I could go on…instead I will join the chorus of thanks for this important article
Always attack the root cause.
Measurements are markers, mean different things to different people. Use them as signs to do root cause analysis to PREVENT, not treat.
Do an AI search and analysis of the slow change of test markers and plot the change against the growth of the treatment market revenues.
It's all about wealth extraction and control.
When you put it that way it seems so insane to me.
And what a fantastic comment, too! It's so full of insight it actually made me smile (and, then, almost a tear as the reality sank in).
> In May 2020, Tanzania’s President John Magufuli submitted samples from a papaya, a quail, and a goat to the national laboratory under false names.
March 2021: He was dead of a "heart attack."
I was reading up on Magufuli and his stance against the Who when this happened, and I will never forget this hero. He and several other African leaders paid with their lives.
Many heroes during the covid hoax have been murdered, suicided. I don't think we'll see justice served for those who spoke out against the worldwide tyranny we all faced.
Thank you for the reminder. And thank you John Magufuli. You made a huge positive impact.
2 years ago when I had a problem the doc tried to put me on blood pressure meds. 45 years ago my blood pressure was too high, and it still is according to the numbers, but it is MY blood pressure and I don't care about their numbers. The best solution - do NOT go to any doctor unless there is nothing left to try. Try all the harmless things first, because the doc will prescribe. 2 friends recently succumbed to it - one had a blood pressure of 100-60 but is on blood pressure meds and another, who has no risk whatsoever for breaking bones, under pressure of the doc is now on that crap you mention here. No use sending the article they do not listen to me 'because I am no doctor'.
Some people have too much faith in doctors and "healthcare" nowadays.
Years ago, I didn't succumb to the osteopenia finding/drug recommendation because of a book I had read back then called "The Myth of Osteoporosis." Ever since, I easily dismiss doctor suggestions to get a new bone-density test because the only "treatment" is something that makes the jaw fall off, and I like my jaw too much. I've not had anyone pressure me after I acknowledge the side effect that they don't want to talk about.
This might be the same book I read years ago, when osteoporosis was 'new'. The 2 people I knew who had brittle bones both had it from taking damaging meds (tranquillizers, cortisone). The doc I went to at the time confirmed it was no disease on itself. Thankfully at the time doctors where still honest. I still ask dad to ask this now retired doc for advise (the are in Europe and I am in US). He laughed away the 'diabetic' number from the doc here, they don't do pre-diabetic there. I think indeed, you should keep that jaw dear Cat!
I liked that book so much, I bought a copy for my library. Nowadays, with all the censorship, banning and history rewrites going on, I'd be even more inclined to get that book.
I see no reason to get an updated bone density test. My old doctor (who was willing to work with me regardless of my refusal of certain screenings and test), tried to talk me into it so I could see if there were a trend. I said no, I expect that aging itself would result in a "trend," and if the bone-density tests weren't baselined using athletic, younger women, but instead used women my age, maybe I'd think about getting the test. That made my doctor check something off in my file so that she never suggested that test again. 😂😂
same happened when I told the new doc I went to 2 years ago, that I wound not ever get any vaxx. She said, we do not insist on it. So that was that! It is good to know at least as much and preferably, MORE, than the doctor! Good you read up on it, too!
I ALWAYS vet my doctors and have fired many over the years. I hired them, I can fire them!
I was given a drug (Fosamax) for osteoporosis at the VA. I threw it away because it was non-returnable. Won’t ever take any of those.
They fill the holes with calcium compounds or something and on an X-ray, it looks like your bones have grown new bone tissue. Instead, the material that fills the holes is removed from the jaw and femur, primarily. What a SCAM.
The people who aren't educating themselves about their bodies are the ones getting worse by taking the drugs and having all the surgeries that their doctors prescribe.
Good for you. To me, it's a drug to just make test results look better. With its horrendous side effects, I don't even want to think about what it's doing to the jaw and femur. 🙄
We have to "doctor" ourselves and not depend on the western medicine staff to push us around. I do my best to avoid all doctors, and have been successful for the past 25 years or so.
I found that my health depends on what I eat and drink and the quality of my sleep. It's pretty simple.
One more addition to my comment - exercise helps me stay healthy.
Yesterday I had that ol' neuritis (I self-diagnosed this) in my left leg again. It means I haven't been doing my daily walking exercise. I had skipped a day.
So I went outside just now and walked in my little community. I won't take pills and I won't go to the doctor. I will fix myself.
I'll drink more water, etc.
It's just maintenance like we do for our homes and vehicles, right?
100/60 and was "medicated" for that?! That OUGHT to be grounds for a lawsuit. Everywhere one looks, it seems that M.D.'s [certainly not all, but *so* many] are becoming more and more ... I'm struggling to find a word other than 'evil' to type here ... Are we truly going to need a Nuremberg 2.0 in our lifetimes?
she was taking meds for high pressure - I have no idea what the high was.. but when the doc measured, she had 100/60, and should IMO have been told to immediately stop (if she ever needed it). This is not just here in the US, I hear it from family in Europe too.
Just another nail in big meds coffin for me. I'm 58 and have always steered clear of doctors and tests. And I am healthier for it.
It's not that difficult to take care of our physical and mental health. But it does take determination and a daily routine that might seem odd to the others who are just following the standard american diet, etc.
I'm 63, work with a lot of people in a white collar job for a long time. Very strong correlation between many doctor visits todo what "the experts say" and declining health.
And much stronger correlation between those that are active and avoid doctors/never do the screening tests and healthy into 70's and 80's and beyond.
Treatments are mostly what kill people before 75.
I agree 100%!
Wow, such a great article, and a great service to thinking folks. The medicine racket is becoming clear to many people.
IMO, it would be difficult to demonstrate the few cases where establishment medicine may have unambiguous benefit, and these benefits would be small compared to the actual determinants of health!
I’ve been dodging the mammogram for four years. Just moved to a new state and after a year the gyno refuses to continue to give me hrt unless I do a mammogram. Says she’s concerned about breast cancer. I told her I’d do a thermogram and, a thermogram is not covered. I’ll need to find another doctor, but likely will end up with this ultimatum with all of them. It’s insane that we’re being forced into care we don’t want.
We're not forced to do anything. Who owns our body? The owner has the last word,
I did not say I was doing it. I think the implication was clear that I was not going to be forced.
I did not say I was doing it. I think the implication was clear that I was not going to be forced.
You are not property. You are sovereign. This may seem pedantic, but you cannot transfer control of yourself because you and you alone have complete and total authority over your self. You can transfer your property to another and the owner of property can exercise complete control over their property, but only you can will your heavy hand to rise to your weary brow to wipe away the dripping sweat of your hard labor, so no one but you can ever exercise control of your self, and you will always be the absolute ruler of you.
The reason this matters, and is not merely pedantry, is that the Juciferian cannibal cult imposing the global technocratic totalitarian tyranny believes that they are absolved of guilt for their crimes if their victims consent, even if that consent is gained by deception. The sole authority over you that is your inalienable nature thus causes them to damn themselves eternally if you do not consent to suffer their murderous oppressions. The exclusive love of themselves narcissistic psychopaths suffer imposes on them the necessity of obtaining your consent, and by expressing you do not consent you create the certainty of damnation instead of the eternal godhead that is their purpose.
While your silence is your consent by the dogma the cult believes, actively expressing dissent will render them powerless and permanently tormented, which will prevent them from forcing you to comply to being sacrificed for their fun and profit. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God. They believe you have that power to damn them because you are sovereign.
Did you have to leave your state for refusing the jab and because your business was shut down? Were you forced off planes for questioning? I was. I know how this goes. They did not win. I’ll keep going. It’s easy to play armchair quarterback online.
None of that has anything to do with the principles underlying our inherent nature, but are hurdles we can surmount by sticking to principle. I did not encounter those hurdles because my adherence to the stated principle prevented them from impacting me. I didn't get thrown off a plane because I did not submit to the security theater necessary to get on a plane to begin with. My business was not shut down because I do not have a business, but rather do business instead. No one forced me to leave or go anywhere because I do not accede to anyone having any such authority over where I go.
Stick to superable principle and simplify your life.
My comment has everything to do with your tone, which tells me all I need to know.
I did not ask for your advice about what I should do, nor do I find it relevant to this conversation.
I did not address you before you addressed me. We both replied to someone else that had not solicited our comments. You mistook my reply to them to be to you, which it was not. Your defensiveness is all I need to know about you, as you clearly lack the courage of your convictions, and defend yourself from criticisms that were never made of you. You wrangle with phantoms you conjure and remain incognizant of my meaning as a result.
Really?
If you're on Medicare, the "wellness" gatekeeping test is even worse.
I've been dodging the m-gram for even longer, and also just moved. Idk how the docs here will handle this. I'm seriously considering just making up a recent date, as it appears that "healthcare" nowadays consists more of check-the-box data entry and collection instead of looking and talking to the patient. I already did this re Covid jabs during the shutdown period and nobody checked then. And the last time I got an m-gram, the hospital mishandled my case by copying-and-pasting someone else's, another reason I'm tempted to just make it all up.
Interesting. I have a new gyno (I’m a very healthy 73) who just told me I don’t need a mammogram if I didn’t want one. She said frankly at my age, mammograms did not extend longevity. Nor did she advise a colonoscopy. I think I found a keeper doc!
I like this idea! I was misdiagnosed 20 years ago with a suspected cancer. Thousands in tests only to find out the center had misdiagnosed thousands of women and was under investigation (CA). Really made me suspicious.
Also, on their forms they hand me at the doctor's office, I don't enter my Social Security number and I don't always tell the truth about my medical history, especially if it doesn't have anything to do with my visit to the doctor that day. It's none of their business.
The receptionist just checks that all the spaces on the form are filled out.
So for Social Security number, I enter the words "on file." They've never questioned me about that.
Yep, a kindred spirit. 😻 It's amazing how much info they ask for that is so far beyond what you're in for. Even dentists want to know all the supplements you take, which I don't provide. And when you want them to know something specific, usually their forms don't give enough space to write on. 😂
Lately with my changes in doctors/dentist, I'm seeing more offices where they ask for forms to be filled out on your phone and then submitted to a link there. Um, nope. I don't use my phone for things like that. I've had to call to get a printout of the forms to hand carry in with my next appointment.
The other thing I see is that there's misinterpreting of HIPAA. Or ignoring it. One dentist I was thinking of going to, had a form that had a checkbox for not only sharing your info with your insurance and normal third parties who need to know, but also for acknowledging that he could put some photos of his work on Meta! I went up there to look and his patient photos showed their full faces. Not only does a combined authorization checkbox violate HIPAA, but the way his form doesn't allow for declining the social-media sharing, was pretty blatantly disrespectful to me. Needless to say, I didn't go to that dentist.
In the DC area of USA, Kaiser Perm Advantage asks for the name /address of the practice that evaluated the m-gram, so saying you've had it may not work. I believe my "Evidence of Coverage" document gives me the legal right to refuse it.
How would that work? I'm seeing online that "Evidence of Coverage" means what your insurance will cover. Does Kaiser not cover m-grams?
KaiserPermanente is private health ins., (Medicare Advantage) with an exclusive contract with the US gov. The MDs there are all "institutional MDs" which means they all follow the dictates of their CEO and Board of Business Directors. Their biz goal is to bill the Gov agency HHS-CMS for as many services as the contract allows. Yes, M-grams are covered and heavily pushed on enrollees in their Advantage contract.
If you follow the controversies btw. the institutional medical agencies like CDC, AMA, ACA, NIH, etc. there are long-established and intransigent "evidence-based" traditions pushing M-grams and many other tests (DEXA scans, colonoscopies, etc.).
In my opinion, RFK Jr in his short tenure as HHS Sec. won't get very far with his reforms as his views are with the dissident MD groups. One of them is ImaHealth.org, which grew out of the protest against the new, untested mRNA vaccine technology that was intro'ed with the engineered covid scare. I am over-simplifying a lot, but theres a lot to cover.
use an online hrt clinic, Midi, Evernow, etc. A flat fee, prescription and refills, etc. I use Evernow.
Will do this!
Why take HRT? Do you not trust your body’s natural immune system to do the right thing?
Perhaps you’re not aware of it, but that comes across a bit rude. There is a LOT of new data and research if you care to look at it about the value of HRT for women. I suffered for 6 years before I decided I would live happily instead of fighting the sweats, fatigue and all that comes with it. And yes, I am healthy, I’m an athlete and also work training naturopaths and regenerative doctors.
You can make it through menopause etc. without hrt, if that is why you take them. The hormones themselves are heavily linked to cancer. Look for natural alternatives and dietal adjustments. I am 63 and I am in perfect health. I got off the medical treadmill decades ago and look and feel great thanks to a diet of almost no sugar, no preservatives, no seed oils, little dairy and whole foods. (Also, yam creams and supplements such as maca work wonders with hormonal transitions). Gynecology is just as much a non-problem finding treadmill as the rest.
💯
This article is outstanding!! I’ve been a nurse for 47 years and started questioning things about 25 years ago. I did a lot of the research in this article. It’s astounding how dangerous the medical field is. All about $$$$$. And I can tell you, most doctors don’t give a damn.
100%
This article is a great read! I quit the periodical screening that is done here in the Netherlands years ago.
Some years back I learned this: The Greek word for “sorceries” in verse 23 is “pharmakeia” [far-mak-i’-ah] - and since knowing that it all made sense to me.
Also a good read: https://www.pathwaytopeace.net/index.php/blogs-and-articles/pharmakeia-deception
Never fell for any of it after my arm swelled up after getting a shot with TB in grade school. The fact that my body showed strong immune reaction to TB had everyone in a tizzy. "You've been exposed to TB!" They said I should have chest Xray every year to see if TB was growing in my lungs. I went once & saw the scam. I was around 10 years old. Luckily, my mom supported me. Nope. I knew it was all scare tactic scam stuff. I'm 76 & feel well.
There is something to be said for those of us who seemed to come out of the womb as skeptics! I question EVERYTHING!
Judy - You're right! We have to question everything.
At first, it's a major disappointment to find out the medical professionals aren't on our side as we thought they were.
But we get over the disappointment, move on, and take responsibility for the wonderful body that we were given.
We learn to say NO to the doctors with their toxic and damaging pills and procedures.
YOU BETCHA!❤️
I had BCG vax for TB in 1976. I was very ill (temp at least 104F) for 2 weeks in boarding school sanatorium and only got my full strength back at the end of the summer.
It was only after 2020 and Covid scam that I began to think that the two were connected.
Glad you are aware now.
A diagnosis is a spell.
Exactly. I call them a hex.
Hex in Greek means 'six'. 666 is hex, hex, hex if you count as individual numbers.
I have had only 3 of these tests and none in almost 5 years. At age 76, my testing days are over unless something becomes a life and death emergency. But how many of these kind of emergencies can be expected in a life time? I have had a few emergencies, but none quite so life threatening.
$6,400 for a CT scan (last year it was $5,900) ...no wonder they pass them out like candy. I think my wife has had 4-5 in the last 16 months and none were for emergency situations. There is no proof positive that having the monsters of medicine cultivate through your body will make much difference in how long you might live. It's all a game of fear as those who you trust to know more than you ply your fears for extreme profits.
The crazier thing is that if they do tests and find "something", 90% of the time they have no real cure anyway. They will always be guessing with your health and life.
This 100% Confirms my suspicions and beliefs born out my own life experiences with allopathic medicine. Being a victim of iatrogenic medicine for a little over 25yrs
I said NO MORE‼️ to endless scans and Pharmaceuticals, 21 to be specific. I’ve been Pharma free,vax free, scan free, Dr Free for 13 years. At 77 I have no more pain, problems that can’t be remedied by my kitchen spice cupboard. I had a kidney stone 3 years ago dissolved by Castor Oil Compresses. I eat a Keto diet that eliminated my Diabetes. I refused metaphormen for 30yrs. A minor depression lead to drugs that caused tremors & a fictional Parkinson’s Disgnosis! They will kill you while turning you into an Income Generator for Dr’s, BiG Pharma and the Corporate Health System‼️Run far and get yourself Healthy! Walk every day,eat real food and get A Spice Cupboard and Nutritional Supplements!
Loraine - You have done a wonderful job of maintaining your health. Bravo!
Thank you but it’s all inspired by the LORD to care for my body He gave me. The principles and remedies I follow are GOD’s Own Creation. I believe GOD designed our bodies to heal itself by following Biblical precepts and care of it. By Much prayer and fasting GOD does it ALL, to GOD be the Glory!🙌
The better the insurance, the higher the level of treatment. By that I mean they will treat and treat and treat until the patient dies.
I had an insurance that required I go to an annual exam. I went. Told the doctor that a mammogram is not preventive medicine, vaccines are not preventive medicine, that a pap smear is not preventive medicine. He asked why I was there. I told him because I was required to for continued coverage.
Then they billed me instead of the insurance. This took over 2 years to stop billing me (even after they were provided the required provider numbers repeatedly). I don't know if they ever got payment.
Thanks for posting this. A perfect example of how the system is set up. The PAYMENT ladder is the main diagnosis.
It's striking that an 105-page thing was issued by AHA to "justify" its lowered BP threshold. (https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/HYP.00000000000002490) I wonder how many people that actually look at that document, think it must be full of "science" based on its extensive footnotes, tables and bloated write-ups.
I especially enjoyed the Appendix 2, which shows the conflicts of interest.
