This was awesome! Thank you so much! I have downloaded the book, medicalized motherhood and have written down the other books so that I can purchase. Thank you for all you do!
Decades ago, I read an account from the late 19th century of a man with serious pneumonia. He trudged miles through the woods and snow to see the doctor, who told him it was incurable. As he stumbled home, he slipped and fell into the icy water of a deep creek. Complete immersion. Convinced that he had sealed his doom, he made it back to his cabin and shivered violently for some time. Then he fell into a deep sleep, convinced it was his end. But the next morning he woke up better. Not fully recovered, but on the way. The next week he went back to the doctor, who was amazed at his recovery, doubly so when he he heard about the ice water dunking. The doctor couldn't stop thinking about it. The next time he had a serious case, a child on the brink of death, he suggested to the desperate parents that they try it. They thought it was crazy but also knew there were no options. The child recovered, and he went on to do the same for other patients.
You really have a gift for synthesizing complex information and communicating ideas in an engaging and accessible manner. Thank you for sharing your important and enlightening work!
Once published, my forthcoming essay—a general theory on anthropological reversibility—will contribute to our understanding in much the same way that Havel recognized the power of lies in his era. When I write essays, I hope that they attract enough attention to inspire the necessary change, similar to what Tom Paine and Ben Franklin achieved in their time. I must admit that I am not very optimistic about this outcome.

Thank you so very much! I can't wait to read ALL of these books!
I've shared this article with many people who I think will read this information too! Knowledge/information are the best protection against the system

Impressed (again). Too many things to read. I feel I am rediscovering the world. Thank you.
