Thanks for this extensive post and all the work you do! There is a piece, I want to add - the women who have had hysterectomies can be helped tremendously. I have just posted more about this here: https://thewellnessbydesignproject.com/2024/02/hysterectomies-are-profitable/

Excellent, once again!

And a sidebar: brave veterinarians are now uncovering the fact that complete de-sexing of pets in spay/neuter procedures is responsible for a whole host of issues (cancers, behavioral, etc.) and shortened lifespans. A movement has begun to teach hormone-sparing procedures.

I’ve been reading all about that procedure for our pets. Sadly, it is not taught in vet school…..hopefully in the future. The only way you have control over unnecessary spay and neuter is if you purchase your dog from a breeder. The majority of adoptive dogs undergo these procedures before you can adopt them. We have to start making enough noise to start change for these animals.

Dr. Benjamin Hart of the University of California, Davis, has been researching the effects of spay-neuter for a decade, with support from the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation. His first paper on the subject, published in 2013, revealed that Golden Retrievers that had been spayed or neutered had a correlation of being three or four times more likely to develop certain cancers, including lymphosarcoma and hemangiosarcoma, and also more likely to develop joint problems such as hip dysplasia and damage to the cranial cruciate ligament. The team later published data on German Shepherd Dogs and Labrador Retrievers, finding that early spaying and neutering had varying effects on these dogs’ likelihood to develop joint disorders, cancers, and urinary incontinence.

"There were no cases of MCT mast cell tumor in intact females, but the occurrence was nearly 6 percent in late-neutered females." That's pretty serious, and that is just one condition that was studied. Zero cases in the non spayed.

A scientific analysis published in Veterinary and Comparative Oncology using Golden Retriever Lifetime Study data notes a potential correlation between canine sterilization and hemangiosarcoma development.

Hemangiosarcoma is the most common cancer diagnosed in the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study cohort. It is a particularly deadly cancer, with roughly 90% of dogs dead within one year of diagnosis. Few dogs survive longer than two years, even with aggressive therapy.

Male pets only have testicles removed. While females have everything removed. They think they are preventing future cancers. Farm Vets the few we have only remove a male's testicles, be it a pet, horse, or calf.

If it were not for the 2020 forcing of “novel” medical approaches to diagnosing, drug licensing, drug administration forcing, and binding drug use with employment or civil rights, we would probably never discuss such things. The so called medicine science would go along as they have been doing for ages: blindly following “standard operating procedures” as laid out by forerunners, none of which being probably properly vetted for both application viability and/or common sense justification.

The issue described in the article is merely one of a number of questionable surgical habits (considering the question marks in the above text, you really couldn’t call it “treatments”). It all looks like a shortcut resolution of problems which would put huge burden on a medical professional: think, consider, reconsider, test, check again, cancel the original diagnosis, test again, read peer-reviewed papers, think again… why would you go to such lengths when you can simply order to cut out the location of the problem, and all your efforts are heftily rewarded - and the patient is happy to go home with relief. Ah, and there is the electrocution of the healthy heart “muscle”, supposedly treating wrong electrical impulses in the heart… although a number of thinking physicians indicate non-invasive chemical regulation as a successful measure…

We are already habitually addicted to cutting out tonsils, removing healthy teeth, and obviously cutting out the appendix, originally considered to be of no use for the living being. We have made a huge business out of laser deformation of eyeballs. And there is an immensely profit-promising “beauty” surgery, which in essence is the destruction of healthy tissue.

What’s there left and unattended to? Heart removal, why not - so many people appear to be heartless… Brain removal, sure enough, why would you need a brain if you cannot think logically or coexist in the community… Cutting out is easier, faster, simpler. Why? Is it because none of the helpless patients comes to the doctor in the assistance of a lawyer demanding a written contract for the removal procedure?

To understand the context and “why”, you should watch a short mini-series on “The Artful Dodger” (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt20285780/), or how to easily cut out whatever you want from an injured person and be rewarded for it, regardless of survival issues. It seems that the “modern” medicine is still somewhere around the 16th century…

I remember my sister was told in her mid-20s that she needed a hysterectomy. She had a "growth".

Her boyfriend at the time was a young man newly arrived from Taiwan. He urged her to see his doctor, a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.

My sister went to see her boyfriend's doctor, who told her she didn't need a hysterectomy but only a magnesium supplement. She started taking a daily magnesium supplement and the "growth" went away, never to return.

Another great post, Unbekoming.

Great story, thanks!

All I can say is ‘wow!" An excellent, helpful, and frightening revelation. I hope every psychiatrist prone to treat depressed women with SSRIs asks if she has had a hysterectomy….. and could hysterectomy explain the incredible rise in the use of SSRIs? Follow the money….

Depends on the other drugs they are on. Trannies take lifelong hormones. And those alone can cause mental issues. Then you have the constant beat of everyone who needs mental health treatment. I raised 3 boys, one was Hyper if the sugar wasn't controlled. 1 hot dog has 30 minutes of hyperactive energy. And Sugar or corn syrup is in the food you wouldn't consider a sweet. So are a lot of unnecessary ingredients. Buttermilk: Cultured milk, salt, modified corn starch, tapioca starch, sodium citrate, "locust bean gum " (From the Carob plant), and "carrageenan (SEAWEED)". CONTAINS: MILK. DUH, IT IS MILK! Farm Fresh doesn't have 4 thickeners in it, nor are they needed. Look up each of those ingredients. Anyone with GI issues will react, to lunchmeats, Dairy, fake dairy, and toothpaste/denture adhesive. I thought changing the GMO label would be bad. It revealed terrible stuff in our food.

Texas Farmers Sue Over ‘Forever Chemicals’ in Sewage Sludge Fertilizer

The lawsuit alleges two Texas farm families were “poisoned by toxic chemicals” after a neighboring farmer took a shipment of “smoking” piles of biosolids that contained hazardous per- and polyfluoroalkl substances, or PFAS, in late 2022.

For those who might be recommended a hysterectomy for prolapse, buy a kegel master and do pelvic floor therapy. I had a prolapsed bladder in 2011, was told I needed a hysterectomy. An older lady in my group told me to read “Misinformed Consent: Women's Stories About Unnecessary Hysterectomy”

I purchased a kegel master and Hab it pelvic floor dvd for therapy exercises by Tasha Mulligan.

After seven deliveries I did the exercises and was able to jump on trampoline with zero leakage.

I have damage from an episiotomy in the 90’s…scheduled surgery for repair but had zero trust that I wouldn’t wake up missing parts so I cancelled the surgery after nights of nightmares.

With a little work you can get back to pre baby condition.

Hope this helps someone ❤️

I was Bradley Method trained during my first pregnancy so I found out about kegels early on. They’re so much help as you get older

This stack cuts to my core. After being diagnosed with breast cancer at 42, I was told I had to have my ovaries removed because that was what caused the cancer. I had had a TIA so I was told I couldn't take tamoxifen. The only way to make sure my cancer didn't return was to have a bilateral oophorectomy. I can tell you I have never been the same. I have extensive joint pain and 10 years later no sex drive and from what I'm told everything is pretty much past its use date. I have depression and hot flashes and my sleep is horrible. I live the healthiest lifestyle that I possibly can and do everything right but these issues persist. There's a book called Estrogen Matters and in it it states that the whole estrogen/progesterone cause for cancer was based on bad studies. Unfortunately, I really don't know how to read those studies and am desperate to go on hormone therapy but no one will prescribe it because of my previous cancer. Obviously, I don't want my cancer to return but I often wonder if I really needed to have my ovaries removed and would my quality of life be better if I could take hormones. At 52 I've got a long way to go. It's funny, the surgeons painted the entire journey of breast reconstruction as being one where I would finally achieve the body I had always dreamed of in the magazines. I can tell you that's not even close to being true. And while I have come to terms with my scars, I do feel they prey on low self esteem in women.

That is rough, End tyranny. I agree with your intuition that good hormone therapy might really help- all I know on the subject is that the source of the hormones, real vs. synthetic, seems to really matter. (This I learned in discussing how synthetic Testerone has some bad side effects)

Here is Chris Masterjohns substack discussing Hormones, in general, maybe he discusses Hormone therapy, but this is the only related one I found for his site. https://chrismasterjohnphd.substack.com/p/hormones-are-never-in-charge

Thank you for this! I look forward to reading it. I'm at the point where I think I might just lie about my history and go for it. I feel like at this point I've got all the tools to cope if I had another cancer diagnosis. My kitchen cabinet is stocked with fenbendazole and Ivermectin, LOL

Have you looked for a private pay functional medicine or board certified integrative medicine physician? (don’t feel you have to answer this question here.). Bio identical hormones are often one of their specialties . The downside is the expense.

Expand full comment

Unfortunately, money is an issue but when you feel badly sometimes you find a way. I didn't take health insurance this year because of the expense and knowledge that I wasn't getting what I was paying for anyway. I just remember my gynecologist saying that no doctor in their right mind would prescribe hormone therapy to me because my breast cancer was ER PR positive. But then she wanted to put me on a statin because my cholesterol was too high for her liking. I'm a firm believer that cholesterol is your friend.

ps Masterjohn may have also discussed hormone therapy specifically in his stack, but Substack doesn't seem to have a search mechanism for indivudual sites, just cross platform as far as I can see. best-also found this in my town in Oregon

There are natural sources for hormones. And you probably don’t need to add estrogen, just balance what you have. Research, research, research

After a decade of being on 'the pill' in the 1970's my sister ended up having a hysterectomy in the 1980's. Even then it seemed like it was being more than subtly promoted as 'the solution'. Western medicine is beyond FUBAR.

FUBAR is right. There is no hope for them. They must be destroyed. And I believe they have dug their own grave now.

Hormones matter website has some great articles on related topics.

I am still surprised by the number of women in their 60s who come into my practice and have had a hysterectomy (usually in their 30s, maybe 40s). The faith in the white coat was strong then; now, not so much - the derision and hatred toward medical doctors is strong in my client base.

Excellent article. This is so sad but it's all true. As I have been saying since 2020, "The White Coats are coming!" Thank God the truth is coming out about these genocidal monsters.

I'd had two C-Sections, and my tubes tied with the 2nd, as 2 were the limit back before the Bikini cut. Adhesions developed, Pain was debilitating, and menstrual bleeding was very heavy and prolonged. A Lap Surgery was done to remove the adhesions, which were only part of the issue, the Cyst and Fibroids were. Six months later a Full Hysterectomy. The surgeon was sloppy in his closure and yeast infections that bled as all their fungal treatments failed. A Tummy Tuck was needed to fix that. But it makes you more vulnerable to more Adhesions. I've had health issues ever since. The lack of natural body-made hormones caused spinal and bone damage. Chemical ones had too many side effects. What I thought was a relief turned into a health nightmare and lifelong Pain.

Do you know why it’s called a hysterectomy? Because in the Victorian era if a husband decided his wife was too emotional he would take her to the doctor and the doctor would recommend removal of her female organs to help calm her emotions. To help her not get so “hysterical”. Remove the hysteria from her personality. Before you say “what a good idea!” think about the things she might have gotten hysterical about-his mistress, sending her children away to live somewhere else, physical abuse, etc

Look it up

My mother in laws doddering doctor was supposed to remove one of her ovaries because of a suspected tumor. Records show he removed the wrong ovary and at 46 she died of ovarian cancer as the primary tumors. Never got to enjoy her grandchildren.. left behind 2 sons, a teenage daughter and a husband who never ever got over it.

This whole post is breaking my heart. I am so sorry for your loss. May God have mercy on the souls of these evil butchers.

Expand full comment

As I began to read, I wondered if you were beginning to see a larger picture into which all of the things you have been writing about. But then you answered the question.

"I really don’t have words to describe this butchery.

We live in three dimensions. The physical, the mental and the spiritual.

We have been trained to diminish the spiritual, to our own detriment.

Somewhere deep in the bowels of Big Medicine, there is a spirit, and that spirit hates humanity, and very specifically it hates women.

There is no other conclusion I can reach anymore.

After reading this long stack, if you reach a different conclusion, let me know in the comments."

I think you're on to something. I have my conclusions and beliefs for my own use, and I have shared some of that here (always subject to revision as I discover and learn). I've also considered this particular topic, although I am not a researcher or journalist or anything of the kind. I am a survivor of medical lunacy who has had to work certain things out in order to remain alive.

I would like to see what else you come up with.
