As I've stated elsewhere, I determined nearly 40 years ago that "There's something wrong with them" with the "them" being doctors.
I grew up when you only sought medical care when something drastic happened. Insurance was called "major medical" for when something "major" happened. All the rest? Your mother or grandmother. Damn, some of them even knew how to "stitch you up" if you needed it.
Gradually, this notion that one "needed" a yearly "check-up" seeped into consciousness -- especially for us women, doncha know? I have had two of those horrific "pelvic" exams. Following the second -- and last one -- I swore then and there that I would never, EVER, do that again. And I never have...
I swore off doctors years ago. There 𝑖𝑠 something wrong with them. And today's docs? After what we've just been through and seen? Unless I'm bleeding out, have broken a bone, or otherwise injured, I will stay as far away from them as I can -- as I've done for nearly 40 years. With rare, rare exception, they're some very dangerous people.
The extremely long "education" period they are put through, I have come to see as the longest, most sophisticated indoctrination system ever created. Indeed, there is something wrong with how their minds function. They are broken. A small number can piece their brains, and their morality back together again, but the rest can't.
Reading this man's books, and ALSO a book called "Silent Knife" caused me to have my children at home. Everything turned out FINE at home. I listen to the horror stories from women who had their kids in the hospital and am amazed that anyone would want to have their child in a WAR ZONE.
Warning to your ‘stackers: Do not read this piece unless you are willing to instantly become smarter, wiser and more reflective. (I know, I'm being kinda' redundant, but certainly emphatic!) It resonates.
Congratulations on another fine essay—I ordered the book. I am an old part-time internist with a small panel of primary care patients of at least 15+ years that I hold close to my heart—I treasure these relationships. Covid blew up much of what I believed—I was a pretty stalwart allopathic physician until 2021. One exception was the annual physical—I have felt for decades that that was overhyped—truly a moneymaker for the medical profession. To me the most important part of it has been the conversation between me and my patient—about their health habits, stress, family etc. Keep writing please!
From the article: "But what are the true benefits of this practice? Careful reviews of several large studies have shown that these annual visits don't make any difference in health outcomes. In other words, being seen by your doctor once a year won't necessarily keep you from getting sick, or even help you live longer. And some of the components of an annual visit may actually cause harm. For example, lab tests and exams that are ordered for healthy patients (as opposed to people with symptoms or known illnesses) are statistically more likely to be "false positives" — that is, when test results suggest a problem that doesn't exist. Even if these inaccurate findings affect only a tiny percentage of the more than 200 million adults who would undergo such exams, the monetary, practical, and emotional costs are huge."
Thank you for one more person to bring to life the devastation of our health care system on humanity. As everyone can see we are experiencing a devolution and deconstruction of humanity on all levels. I am a practicing physician of 38 years who was tainted by DES and do Everything in my might and power to educate,inspire and empower humans to take control of their life. Self care is the new health care.
Oh THANK YOU!! was it by chance a synthetic progesterone⁉️ I remember it now but so many three letter initial words to recall this one slipped my mind…again I thank you for the clarification☺️
Yes, self-care is primary. However, we still need surgery at times, and an understanding of lab tests, and education on good nutrition suited to one's make-up. You are one of the doctors in the minority, most are not like you.
Oh, many of these mega churches and corporate religious institutions don't allow women to contribute in any way to church leadership. The pastors preach this recommendation comes 'literally' from the Bible. Women are placed in the position of subjugation to their husbands and all males. The fear of 'not being saved' if you don't comply with God's word as written in the Bible results in women engaging in cognitive dissonance, and unhealthy repression. Some churches encourage women to stay in abusive marriages, because the Bible only condones divorce for infidelity. Some of these abusive men are also molesting their children and continue to do so when women stay because the 'Elders' (men always) tell them if they divorce, they are breaking God's law. Christianity for the most part is a patriarchal invention.
Dr. Mendelsohn’ s “How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor” was my bible for healthcare for my 3 boys in the late 80’s and 90’s. A great source to empower a parent - almost never took a child to the doctor - certainly helped that they were unvaccinated and generally healthy.
What a relief to know others are aware of this abuse. I read that currently there are more female students in medical schools than males T.G. I was prescribed Levoquin for pneumonia sans information on how dangerous it is. There are people worldwide suffering long term side effects. Recently, in desperation I had to interact with conventional doctors, and it has been extremely demoralizing and therapeutically harmful. I had a very different experience interacting with female doctors versus male doctors. The men minimized symptoms, could not deal with normal intense emotions attached to physical pain and distanced themselves while also encouraging me to calm down and not feel. The female doctors mirrored my feelings and nodded in understanding, I did not feel a power imbalance and could speak freely. All the male doctors took umbrage if I questioned their knowledge or presented them with more updated science. Shockingly, for physiological symptoms I was advised to take psychotropic drugs, another way to shut down 'negative' emotions, of course those emotions are not negative, they are appropriate for the circumstance. I was told alternative modalities don't work, supplements don't work etc...I was told the small amount of aluminum in the child vaccine schedule is no big deal and benefits outweigh risks. I was humiliated by the gynecologist in front of his staff, directly after I suggested the covid virus was due to a lab leak. The doctor lashed out saying absolutely not, definitely from a wet market. Most doctors refused to take me as a patient when I refused ultrasounds during pregnancy. The hubris in many male doctors is palpable, their word is law. The vibe is not one of a service provider, but of obnoxious control. Many in round about ways do determine whether you live or die. My belief is unless one needs surgery, avoid conventional doctors entirely as they are not trained to heal, nourish or truly empathize. The whole gestalt of the profession is 'suppressive, reductionistic and arrogant' which places the vulnerable and suffering into the hands of a machine-like provider devoid of mercy. Maybe that will change as more women enter the profession. There is also the possibility that AI will work in the field of pharmacy and eliminate many internists. AI will for sure change our whole world in ways we cannot yet imagine.
"The whole gestalt of the profession is 'suppressive, reductionistic and arrogant' which places the vulnerable and suffering into the hands of a machine-like provider devoid of mercy. "
Are you saying women have no authentic empathy? I think proportionally, it is a subpopulation of women that use fake empathy to manipulate, but that is not the majority. Our gut will let us know.
I allowed my thyroid gland to be chemically ablated , regret now.
I’ve witnessed so much of this, especially once antidepressants took over in the 80’s the Valium prescriptions & uppers of the 70’s .
I’m 58 and my brain is much older from biotoxin mold illnesses. Insurance dictated doctors won’t help me. Refused treatment because I’m on disability and lived under the poverty level for years.
"Mendelsohn views routine circumcision as an unnecessary and potentially harmful practice..."
Potentially? Seriously. Definitely harmful.
He speaks of how traumatizing and degrading these OBGYNs, many of whom are women, who mutilate boys genitals at that - most commonly done by these OBGYNs...also traumatize and shame women - which is true, but...he goes only as far to say circumcision is "potentially harmful"?
Weak.
I think it's in human biology at this point - to have less empathy and regard for men and boys. Maybe it's just a biology thing that can't be helped?
The Empathy Gap by William Collins speaks of this.
Circumcision is the first sexual experience many boys have. Their penises are palpated until they become erect, then the mutilation begins.
The foreskin is fused to the head of the penis by design, by nature, like how a hymen protects a girl's vagina.
Imagine doctors perforating a baby girl's hymen. That's what circumcisers do to boys.
The foreskin, when it can be retracted at age 10.5 on average, occurs on its own and it sloughs off cells like the vagina does, it is self cleaning in this way and needs no basic pH soap to disrupt pH and irritate the mucosal lining...
Circumcision: The Hidden Trauma is another good book.
Foregen is a biotech company regrowing foreskins in labs with the patient's own body cells. They're almost in the final phase of human trials. Their goal is full reversal of circumcision.
What you do to children they will do to society (Menginger). When you mutilate boys, they grow up to do what was done to them to society. Circumcised boys are traumatized, there is more domestic violence among regions with circumcision, among Jews versus others, more vaginal pain due to abrasive sex (the foreskin retains lubrication, and reduces sexual friction in excess)...
This is the blade rape of a child.
The raping of the phallus.
His "potentially harmful" is so soft and comes from his own blindspot to see boys and men as less prone to disgrace, trauma and shame than women...which is ironically...sexist...
OBGYNs are butchers to women and men. I definitely agree with that.
However, men and boys have been just as abused and relegated to very narrow dimensions of existence as to how they can express themselves or behave, historically, just as much as women have been.
If you look at Gynocentrism.com by Peter Wright, the Janice Fiamengo Files on Feminism and her substack and Tim Goldich's work...you can see that most men do lead quiet lives of desperation as masochistic pack mules who only value themselves when they are "productive". They are loved conditionally, and are taught by a young age that they are only valuable if they are willing to put themselves in harm's way for others, mindlessly, thanklessly.
Further, children - sons - spend most of their most suggestive years from age 0 to 7 with their mothers. Women have a disproportionate effect on children and their behavior. Those early years contain critical programming of people's perceptiona for better or worse.
Most of the medical world is garbage.
Most "necessary" surgery can be prevented or even still be avoided when you're actually equipped with real medical knowledge that holistically understands the body and all the treatments available that actually work which have been systemically suppressed by the medical mafia.
Everyone is being harmed, boys and girls, men and women. Looking at every angle is important. All non life saving procedures should be banned on minors. Full stop.
Good to see you still writing.
I don't have notifications enabled so I may not reply for some time, if at all.
You know how to reach me.
Jeanice Barcello writes about medical trauma and many things of this sort.
She would be a good interview for you, if you haven't already made contact with her.
"Toxic masculinity" is the modern anti-male version of hysterics, by the way.
The same way of invalidating the emotion of anger. Anger being a sign of violated boundaries.
Just like men have been called pansies, sissies, etc. for being "too sensitive"...by women and men alike.
Society has held men and women to narrow existences of acceptable behavior in oppressive ways.
Women have been liberated socially, culturally far more than men ever have been. Men are still expected to be traditional and bound by obligation. Most people see so IAL justice as a zero sum game where if you are speaking out for men, you MUST "hate women or something"...
There has been no great equivalent men's rights movement like feminism has existed for women.
Motherhood is optional, fatherhood is forced. Men don't have reproductive rights or rights over their own genitals. Men are subjected to selective service all around the world. Man bashing is popular in the media.
Female rage is praised as brave and just, but male rage is a "MANTRUM", another sexist word like "mansplaining", "man flu", or "man spreading".
Male chauvinism? Men in the modern day experience the same shaming and degradation today, without any big media force or social movement like feminism to defend them.
Great post. Every major issuue was covered. Only thing wrong: delivering at home without physician availability produces more fatalities and is a bad practice. That said, you have to be knowledgeable enough to restrain c sections.

I agree with you wholeheartedly.

Having a senior moment here Doctor 👨⚕️ what is DES⁉️Thank you for being one of the few ‼️brave men in this world🙌🏼
Diethylstilbesterol. It was a drug used in the fifties to prevent miscarriages and bleeding.
Oh THANK YOU!! was it by chance a synthetic progesterone⁉️ I remember it now but so many three letter initial words to recall this one slipped my mind…again I thank you for the clarification☺️
Yes, self-care is primary. However, we still need surgery at times, and an understanding of lab tests, and education on good nutrition suited to one's make-up. You are one of the doctors in the minority, most are not like you.
Religious patriarchy is often at the root of women trying to people-please the father figure. Time for a reversal.

I will definitely create a summary for that book also. It remains I think one of the most important child health books ever written.
Same here and now my daughter uses it to take care of her children. Invaluable!
And just when you think it couldn't get worse, we now have to be humiliated by men pretending to be women present at our internal examinations: https://x.com/JournalistJill/status/1799118396715368894

Females are more convincing liars because they empathize, in my experience. Or maybe they just believe their own bullshit.
Are you saying women have no authentic empathy? I think proportionally, it is a subpopulation of women that use fake empathy to manipulate, but that is not the majority. Our gut will let us know.
No.
