Your article struck me with a mixture of dread and déjà-vu.
In late 2022 my girlfriend had to go into a hospital here (France) for an unpleasant procedure (THAT HAD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WHATSOEVER WITH ANY SIDE EFFECTS FROM THREE INJECTIONS SHE WAS FORCED TO TAKE TO TRAVEL - just want to make that clear, ok?).
Masking was still happening. Arrows on the floor etc. Approaching the employees there, in their uniforms and asking simple questions, made me distinctly uneasy. At the time I sent a circular to some friends about my visit and wrote "I felt as if entering a temple to a strange and dangerous religious cult".
I saw my parents die there, it was horrific. also the health "providers" do not deserve one red cent. mine used to cover some (the cheap supplements) acupuncture and chiropractors, but this year, nope. Its not "health "insurance, its insurance of profit for certain companies.
I'm so sorry for your folks... I feel like mine are facing the same fate, and I'm trying SO hard to stop it, but... it's a battle with my psychopath brother! Insanity is still the rage.
Oh, I believe that... The eldercide started way back there, well before "Covid." But these jabs are just so... Easy. And you're so right. It's the power-hungry that should be kept OUT of the power positions!
What a time we live in, eh. But I pray I will be alive to see that CHANGE. We're going to be entering a wonderful New Age, and I'm really hoping it won't take TOO long to begin that! Maybe it will begin VERY soon, because I think when that whole digital currency DO What We Say or No Access thing starts up, people are gonna pitch a FIT. I'm already pitching, lol.
I've had some life-saving surgeries in my time, however, I totally get it that hospitals are extremely, but extremely dangerous places to land. In fact, I have spent most of this week transcribing another batch of testimonies about death by hospital covid protocols. It's happened all over the US, there are ample testimonies, all telling the same story of multiple violations of patients' and patients' families' rights, and perverse financial incentives, from California to Texas to Florida. For someone unfamiliar with what has been happening, if I could point to one testimony, it would be this one by nurse Nicole Landers:
"Kissimmee, FL Press Conference: Your Story Counts — The Untold Atrocities of COVID-19,
had a few surgeries, one age 3, one age 30, and one age 46, and then you are happy they can help you. But for the rest I say far away from them, only visiting very close friends if they land up there! All 3 were back in Belgium before the slide-off of the hospitals there. At least everyone there is still wearing white that can be boiled, desinfected. The first thing that appalled me here are the nurses and even some doctors wearing attire that cannot be properly desinceted! The food in American hospitals is disastrous. And indeed, visiting a friend she was on a breathing machine when they brought her meal, and had to keep the thing on for an hour. Another friend had breakfast with fake eggs, looking (and obviously tasting) like rubber. Food in the 2 elderly homes I saw was not any better. ONe never offers anything fresh, all is canned. The other hand at least 5 different cooks in 9 years, some could only boil water I guess, mostly the dinner consisted of canned soup. Horror!
If the good Doctor could just see US now, every City in America is a Hospital District.
It seems the entirety of America has become one big Mental Hospital for Hypochondriacs. I live in a Retirement Community and I'm the only one out of the twenty people who live here who is not taking drugs, or having constant medical testing and procedures.
Excellent article. You nailed it. Thank you for acknowledging how traumatic it is to be in the hospital. People don’t get it. They think hospitals are the most sanitary place in the world and that doctors and nurses are waiting on you 24/7. “You’re got great care, that’s a good hospital”. :/
I was very traumatized by horrible care 29 years ago and then doubly traumatized because no one believed me after I got out and shared my story. Not family or friends. No one stayed with me in the hospital to advocate for me, or to catch the many errors. Including my general surgeon husband. It was the most vulnerable time of my life. And it leveled me. I felt absolutely victimized. I literally went to therapy for it later.
Note : I divorced my husband.
Good news…I got over 99% of the trauma long ago. But I was so burned by that experience and the terrible hospital care that I have vowed to never go back. And I have a firm policy that I never leave any family in the hospital alone. NEVER. Not for a minute. I take notes, ask questions, catch errors, take pictures, keep logs (feeding, fluids, elimination, note labored breathing, skin changes, cognitive changes, speech changes, etc.) and most importantly share my data with any staff that enters the room so they know I’m paying attention. I am assertive but nice about it. Unless elevation is required, which has not been needed yet because once the staff saw my level of involvement they stepped up as much as they could. But, even the staff couldn’t get my dad a catheter because they said we don’t want to cause an infection. I naively believed it. Later a NP friend said medicare limits the number of catheters a hospital can use.
I said to the nurse the external catheter you are using isn’t working because he has a fully retractile penis. They still didn’t put one in, and on the sixth day of his hospital stay he was transferred to hospice. Hospice came into the hospital and put a catheter in before moving him to the hospice wing. He died 24 hours later.
I should have made a bigger fuss about that catheter but I was going on little sleep and I guess I didn’t understand it well enough.
Tip: if you are caring for someone in the hospital, bringing notepads, pens, phone chargers, toothbrush, toothpaste, extra blankets, pillow, wipes, chapstick, water bottles, juice, food, contractor-sized garbage bag. (Fecal soiled sheets were left on the bathroom floor after the bed was changed. I asked to have them removed and they said housekeeping will get them. Which of course never happened. I had a friend bring me a large leaf bag. I crammed the sheets in the bag and stuck the bag in the hall. My problem became their problem.)
It’s not a hotel. Think through a list of personal comfort items and necessities so that you will be prepared if a family member is hospitalized.
Sorry for the triggered ramble. Stay out of the hospital, friends.
I have read that soap & water is the best disinfectant going. It always worked for me. Then all these ghastly smelling sanitizers came out. I cringe whenever I see commercials for Febreeze, omg, spray that garbage, whatever the hell is in there, on your furniture, clothes, shoes and cars with the windows closed, no way. Then Lysol your countertops where you prepare food, not happening. Soap & water, soap & water, what a novel idea, whodathunkit??
I have also noticed that for decades now, there is no personal hygiene performed on patients in hospitals. If you are not capable of ambulating to a shower where there is no soap or washrag available, you are left to smell like a camel crossing a desert (I have some experience with that). No CNA's in hospitals anymore? No soap & water anymore?
I was with my son 16 hours a day when he was in ICU for 12 days, no doctor could find a diagnosis. Stiletto wearing infectious disease doctors pranced in, looked at his chart and sauntered out again. I wondered what those Prada's cost. They pumped him full of every known drug imaginable. Was it viral or bacterial? we don't know. Finally, after my suggestion of trying IV Vit C was ignored, change of guard happened and a new doctor was dispensed. He ordered removal of the breathing tube and anti-paralytic drugs. Eight doctors/nurses surrounded his bed. I was sitting 10 feet away in direct line of my sons face. Like a firehose (think The Exorcist) my son's projectile vomit hit my feet. I knew exactly what would happen after disintubation, yet they were all splattered with dark brown chemical cocktails that he'd been given, in utter unprepared shock. Silently I was laughing my ass off. That's what it took for my son to have his 1st bed bath in 12 days. Soap and water? It's quackery now, off limits to hospitals.
Look at the bill, just to poke their noses in ins. pays them. Dr Meryl Nass says there are NO viruses.
Avoid suregons too. Reconnecting the ligament at the base of my R thumb, and release trigger lock, has taken 4.5 years of thearpy, heavy long cast caused neuropathy of the wrist nerves it squashed, and Barret's (baseball) index finger, that they want to do surgery on. No thanks.
Dag, I'm right there with you. Same injury. I refused physical therapy after I saw what they put my sister through after she broke her arm. I did submit to major surgery and I'm sure I'm going to regret that. Last year I fell into a concrete wall and broke a ton of stuff in my face but what was the worst was my rotator cuff, massive pain. Everything on my dominant side, of course.
I worked my hand, took over a year to get my grip back and the rotator cuff is still a problem, all the strength I can muster to grip my hair into a pony tail. Slowly I can reach higher and higher. There's nothing a therapist can tell me to do better than my own ability and initiative.
Well, I fell, skinned my knee, but broke my wrist yesterday, in a temp splint, but will have to see the ortho. My fingers are useless, besides the level 10 pain.
Oh dear, so sorry to hear that. Hope they give you pain meds but don't count on it. I got nothing after leaving the trauma center when I broke my face. My son manages a dental office and the surgeon saw me because my teeth were screaming and I thought I would lose them. She gave me pain pills. Don't know how I would have managed without that compassionate dentist.
If only more people understood this! You must have an advocate with you in hospital. Ideally someone who is polite, able to question authority and doesn't need to be liked by everyone.
Trish Wood in a podcast in 2021 at a guess recounted the terrible story of a 19yo male in Canada who was admitted to hospital (and died through neglect/lack of treatment for meninigitis) where staff were so Covid-obsessed they missed the diagnosis AND refused to allow his parents to stay and advocate for him.
If you can stand the pain of witnessing this tragedy she lays it out in great detail including interviews with the parents on at least 2 occasions.
Modern medicine IS the new religion. I only realized that since the PLANdemic and tried warning people but everyone just laughs it off - even family. Great to know I´m not alone. Thank you for this article.
Your comment reminded me of this news article honoring the saints of the new religion after only 4 months of plandemic action. https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/18/world/latvia-covid19-statue-trnd/index.html The female may be a doctor or nurse holding a pose that shows how long suffering and self sacrificing they are, facing danger every day.
Having been raised in a military family, "Stay out of the krankenhaus" (German for hospital) is a phrase I've heard more times than I can recall. And a lot of ex-military brats that I've met during my adult life recall having heard the phrase many times in their lives, too. Unlike in civilian life, word about medical mishaps tend to get more traction in a military community, and are thus a lot harder to sweep under the rug (think vaccine damage here).
I've just finished reading The Nitric Oxide Solution by Nathan S. Bryan and Janet Zand (2010). It offers some great tips for avoiding one of the main reasons for landing in the krankhaus: cardiovascular disease. It tells about how misguided oral hygiene (use of Listerine) increases rates of heart disease by destroying bacteria that are needed to convert dietary nitrate to nitrite (the precursor of NO), and how nitric oxide is essential for maintaining the health of our blood vessel linings, the endothelium. And they propose a NO-index (a la the glycemic index), to learn which foods are the best sources of nitrate. The top of the list: kale, Swiss chard, argula and spinach (the reason for Popeye's success has been discovered!). Just remember that these greens need to be chewed to give the bacteria a chance to work their magic (chucking a bunch of spinach in a smoothie probably won't work as well).
I've been doing some NO supplementation for the past few months. As a result, I can tolerate heat a lot better, and my athletic performance (which has been in a steady decline for more than a decade) is dramatically improving.
Another book that I'm reading, The Cardiovascular Cure by John P. Cooke (2002) claims that atherosclerosis can be reversed by a diet that includes more nitric oxide precursors (another is L-arginine). A few years ago, Ivor Cummins was promoting some supplements claimed to do the same thing. They were the result of research by a fit Australian who had a heart attack a couple of weeks after his doc had told him he was in tip-top shape. I've steered clear of using those products mainly because there was a little too much hyperbole for my tastes, but I have no reason to doubt that they work as claimed. Ivor has worked for years for a wealthy Irishman who also nearly died of a massive heart attack, not long after assurances of great health by his physician. They've been on a mission to better detect and reverse heart disease and have made considerable progress in that regard.
Another book that I've just started is NO More Heart Disease by Louis J. Ignarro [2005] (one of the three discoverers of NO's role in the body, who were awarded the Nobel Prize). It contains more specific recommendations for the amount of l-arginine and l-citrulline needed to produce a noticeable effect from supplementing, and the importance of specific antioxidants to amplify the effect. The recommendations align well with the composition of the NO supplement that I am using, Cardio Miracle. If you visit their website and look at their lists of partners, you'll find some familiar names: Judy Mikovits (author of Plague [2014], Ending Plague [2021] and Plague of Corruption [2021] - I've only read the first), Christiane Northrup, and none other than G. Edward Griffith (he also has a testimonial on Youtube), among others.
Books about chronic disease in elite athletes always interest me, since stories of seemingly amazingly fit people dying suddenly are just not all that uncommon. Which implies that most the metrics for assessing health really don't work - they are really just metrics for assessing the degree of obvious disease.
A book I've just ordered is How to Fight the Crippling Pain of Peripheral Artery Disease by Kevin Thomas Morgan (2022). The author was an Ironman triathlete and veterinary researcher who developed PAD (a form of CVD). He tells the story of how he was able to overcome his disease and continue to compete. I've got all the early hallmarks of the disease and my sister (two years older) struggled with it a few years ago and hasn't had the best success with the surgery and drugs-for-life route. Toenail fungus, poor circulation in the toes and feet, loss of hair on the lower legs, leg cramps, and vericose veins are just some of the symptoms of PAD that I've shared with multiple docs for two decades, but none of them has expressed any concern for the symptoms, or offered any advice for reversing them. About the time I started supplementing with NO, I also started using a leg compression device to improve leg circulation. Since then, I've been doing a lot of bicycle hill climbing and have experienced almost zero cramping - which hasn't happened for the past twenty years, exercise or not! All the recommendations about electrolytes for cramping are nonsense. Leg compression and NO both improve circulation, so either or both would seem to be responsible for virtually eliminating this troubling symptom for me.
Circulatory issues are at the heart of a great many chronic diseases, and we tend to think of them only in regard to blood circulation, because it is the easiest to measure. But any improvement in blood circulation is likely to also improve lymph drainage and other circulatory systems, like cerebrosprinal fluid (the key to flushing toxins from your brain). The heart and kidneys, like most organs, are massively capillary-dense. So as the ability to maintain those capillaries becomes impaired by thick blood and damaged endothelial linings, we slowly lose functionality. I've heard that routine bloodwork can't detect kidney dysfunction until you've only got around 20% capacity remaining. Most eye diseases, such as AMD and cataracts, are caused by circulation issues. I suspect circulation plays a role in decreased bowel functionality as we age. Synovial fluid in your joints is a super-filtrate of blood, and it is either impaired blood supply or impaired nerve supply that leads to joint degeneration and the eventual need to replace knees and hips. It seems to affect everything, which makes plenty of sense logically. Talk about mainstream medicine not being able to see the forest for the trees!
The answer to thick blood is balancing the Omega3/6 fatty acid ratio (most people have far too few Omega 3s). Ignarro singles out saturated fat as a boogey man in his book (which is the mainstream mantra), though personally I believe there's plenty of evidence that it is seed oils that are doing the damage, as they are more easily oxidized, and it is oxidized fat that is doing the damage.
It appears that boosting NO output is the key to repairing endothelial damage, and there are studies and a slew of personal anecdotes to support that view. This really does seem to be the key to maintaining a high quality of life and health for as long as possible. I know that my cycling performance has been waning for years now, but this season I'm in better shape than I've been in for several years.
The author didn't specify, but I doubt that cooking would degrade the nitrates. But raw would likely require more chewing and thus have a better chance of picking up bacterial hitchhikers needed for the conversion to nitrites.
What a fantastic write-up, great evidence of your generous spirit when it comes to sharing helpful information. Thank you. I learned a lot from what you wrote.
I love it that Doctor Mendelsohn was bucking the system while still working. I've seen some recent examples of medical professionals completing their career of being worshipped and making a boatload of money only to come out with a "tell all" book about how horrific the medical system is. After participating in it they produce a book and make another wad of money.
I’m a board certified anesthesiologist, and unfortunately I can confirm that everything you allege is true. Medicine today has more in common with religion than science; both medicine and religion promise what they cannot deliver. In the case of medicine, this is deliberate. Medicine has been warped and perverted every way possible to promote sickness for the sake of profit. My favorite example is my own profession, which was deliberately founded on false science in order to wreck the reputation of the nurse-anesthetists who used carbon dioxide supplementation to optimize cardiopulmonary function during anesthesia and prevent devastating ether explosions. The founder of the anesthesiology profession, Dr. Ralph Waters, characterized carbon dioxide as “toxic waste, like urine, that must be rid from the body” using mechanical hyperventilation during anesthesia lest it supposedly cause toxic respiratory depression and other mysterious problems. This is shocking, given that carbon dioxide is benign, beneficial, and as essential for life as oxygen itself because it enables every aspect of the mechanism of oxygen transport and delivery that captures oxygen from atmospheric air and delivers it to cells deep within the body. Those interested should read my published paper called “Four Forgotten Giants of Anesthesia history” that is available free of charge from its publisher, or investigate my website www.stressmechanism.com. The truth is that medicine is now poised at the threshold of the greatest advance in its history. The recent discovery and description of the “mammalian stress mechanism” enables a unified theory of medicine that explains the nature of disease and confers effective treatments that will one day revolutionize medicine by giving physicians the ability to focus their treatments on the actual cause of disease rather than judge their effectiveness on the basis of fickle symptoms. www.stressmechanism.com
Me too, as you age it becomes harder to avoid. Physio was working well on the neck spinal stiffness until the therapist asked me to arch my degenerative spine. That was a breathtaking pain under the Floating ribs on both sides. Had to wait weeks for an MRI, of the wrong body part, then weeks for the Thoracic, which showed an unknown hernia on the left, and an old damaged gallbladder with stones on the right. Sonogram was inculsive. That has been nearly a year, and still no results or treatment. Tried the natural route, but it isn't working. The doctor is more concerned with getting the Hypothyroid working right. I've dropped nearly 30 lbs. It hurts to eat.
i am sorry to hear that. Hurts to eat huh. that is not good. I suppose "the natural route" includes bitters before eatting with some liquid vials of ginseng. or Ginseng stomach pills? There are a lot of natural routes tho. chinese accupuncture/ herbalist, ayurveda, western herbalism and body work. there is a book by Lind Rector paige, called healthy healing, it will cover the basic options and you can choose what you think will work.
I went for a minor (hernia) op about 35 years ago. I've never felt so disempowered in all my life. I woke up out of the anaesthetic to the words "well, that one didn't work, did it?". It was the early days of experimenting with putting a gauze over the hernia 'split', using keyhole surgery. It didn't work, the anaesthetic was running out of time, so they quickly did the traditional cut & sew-it-up method. And this was in a nice local small hospital. I hate to think what big hospitals are like, and nowadays. They are indeed the 'churches'/'temples' to the religious cult Big Pharma Salvation.
Your article struck me with a mixture of dread and déjà-vu.
In late 2022 my girlfriend had to go into a hospital here (France) for an unpleasant procedure (THAT HAD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WHATSOEVER WITH ANY SIDE EFFECTS FROM THREE INJECTIONS SHE WAS FORCED TO TAKE TO TRAVEL - just want to make that clear, ok?).

Condolences and hugs to you, anyway. xo
they died even before covid, and i too had sibling who tried to hide the whole thing from me. Idiots always want to be in charge.

I know that feeling!
I've told everyone I know I don't EVER want to be in any kind of allopathic medical ANYTHING unless I have a bone protruding from my flesh...
Maybe not even then.

Your comment reminded me of this news article honoring the saints of the new religion after only 4 months of plandemic action. https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/18/world/latvia-covid19-statue-trnd/index.html The female may be a doctor or nurse holding a pose that shows how long suffering and self sacrificing they are, facing danger every day.
Ages-old history repeating itself. That "nurse" statue imo, is the mirror-image of this: https://www.ancient-origins.net/myths-legends-asia/identity-moloch-0011457
Priests raped children and no one dared say a beep -- now the "health care providers" kill patients and ... no one dares say a beep.
Having been raised in a military family, "Stay out of the krankenhaus" (German for hospital) is a phrase I've heard more times than I can recall. And a lot of ex-military brats that I've met during my adult life recall having heard the phrase many times in their lives, too. Unlike in civilian life, word about medical mishaps tend to get more traction in a military community, and are thus a lot harder to sweep under the rug (think vaccine damage here).
I've just finished reading The Nitric Oxide Solution by Nathan S. Bryan and Janet Zand (2010). It offers some great tips for avoiding one of the main reasons for landing in the krankhaus: cardiovascular disease. It tells about how misguided oral hygiene (use of Listerine) increases rates of heart disease by destroying bacteria that are needed to convert dietary nitrate to nitrite (the precursor of NO), and how nitric oxide is essential for maintaining the health of our blood vessel linings, the endothelium. And they propose a NO-index (a la the glycemic index), to learn which foods are the best sources of nitrate. The top of the list: kale, Swiss chard, argula and spinach (the reason for Popeye's success has been discovered!). Just remember that these greens need to be chewed to give the bacteria a chance to work their magic (chucking a bunch of spinach in a smoothie probably won't work as well).
I've been doing some NO supplementation for the past few months. As a result, I can tolerate heat a lot better, and my athletic performance (which has been in a steady decline for more than a decade) is dramatically improving.
Another book that I'm reading, The Cardiovascular Cure by John P. Cooke (2002) claims that atherosclerosis can be reversed by a diet that includes more nitric oxide precursors (another is L-arginine). A few years ago, Ivor Cummins was promoting some supplements claimed to do the same thing. They were the result of research by a fit Australian who had a heart attack a couple of weeks after his doc had told him he was in tip-top shape. I've steered clear of using those products mainly because there was a little too much hyperbole for my tastes, but I have no reason to doubt that they work as claimed. Ivor has worked for years for a wealthy Irishman who also nearly died of a massive heart attack, not long after assurances of great health by his physician. They've been on a mission to better detect and reverse heart disease and have made considerable progress in that regard.
Wonderful, thank you!
Another book that I've just started is NO More Heart Disease by Louis J. Ignarro [2005] (one of the three discoverers of NO's role in the body, who were awarded the Nobel Prize). It contains more specific recommendations for the amount of l-arginine and l-citrulline needed to produce a noticeable effect from supplementing, and the importance of specific antioxidants to amplify the effect. The recommendations align well with the composition of the NO supplement that I am using, Cardio Miracle. If you visit their website and look at their lists of partners, you'll find some familiar names: Judy Mikovits (author of Plague [2014], Ending Plague [2021] and Plague of Corruption [2021] - I've only read the first), Christiane Northrup, and none other than G. Edward Griffith (he also has a testimonial on Youtube), among others.
Books about chronic disease in elite athletes always interest me, since stories of seemingly amazingly fit people dying suddenly are just not all that uncommon. Which implies that most the metrics for assessing health really don't work - they are really just metrics for assessing the degree of obvious disease.
A book I've just ordered is How to Fight the Crippling Pain of Peripheral Artery Disease by Kevin Thomas Morgan (2022). The author was an Ironman triathlete and veterinary researcher who developed PAD (a form of CVD). He tells the story of how he was able to overcome his disease and continue to compete. I've got all the early hallmarks of the disease and my sister (two years older) struggled with it a few years ago and hasn't had the best success with the surgery and drugs-for-life route. Toenail fungus, poor circulation in the toes and feet, loss of hair on the lower legs, leg cramps, and vericose veins are just some of the symptoms of PAD that I've shared with multiple docs for two decades, but none of them has expressed any concern for the symptoms, or offered any advice for reversing them. About the time I started supplementing with NO, I also started using a leg compression device to improve leg circulation. Since then, I've been doing a lot of bicycle hill climbing and have experienced almost zero cramping - which hasn't happened for the past twenty years, exercise or not! All the recommendations about electrolytes for cramping are nonsense. Leg compression and NO both improve circulation, so either or both would seem to be responsible for virtually eliminating this troubling symptom for me.
Circulatory issues are at the heart of a great many chronic diseases, and we tend to think of them only in regard to blood circulation, because it is the easiest to measure. But any improvement in blood circulation is likely to also improve lymph drainage and other circulatory systems, like cerebrosprinal fluid (the key to flushing toxins from your brain). The heart and kidneys, like most organs, are massively capillary-dense. So as the ability to maintain those capillaries becomes impaired by thick blood and damaged endothelial linings, we slowly lose functionality. I've heard that routine bloodwork can't detect kidney dysfunction until you've only got around 20% capacity remaining. Most eye diseases, such as AMD and cataracts, are caused by circulation issues. I suspect circulation plays a role in decreased bowel functionality as we age. Synovial fluid in your joints is a super-filtrate of blood, and it is either impaired blood supply or impaired nerve supply that leads to joint degeneration and the eventual need to replace knees and hips. It seems to affect everything, which makes plenty of sense logically. Talk about mainstream medicine not being able to see the forest for the trees!
The answer to thick blood is balancing the Omega3/6 fatty acid ratio (most people have far too few Omega 3s). Ignarro singles out saturated fat as a boogey man in his book (which is the mainstream mantra), though personally I believe there's plenty of evidence that it is seed oils that are doing the damage, as they are more easily oxidized, and it is oxidized fat that is doing the damage.
It appears that boosting NO output is the key to repairing endothelial damage, and there are studies and a slew of personal anecdotes to support that view. This really does seem to be the key to maintaining a high quality of life and health for as long as possible. I know that my cycling performance has been waning for years now, but this season I'm in better shape than I've been in for several years.
Thank-you for sharing some insights from your obviously unimpeded brain.
That kale and spinach you mentioned - do you have a view on whether raw is better than cooked?
The author didn't specify, but I doubt that cooking would degrade the nitrates. But raw would likely require more chewing and thus have a better chance of picking up bacterial hitchhikers needed for the conversion to nitrites.
What a fantastic write-up, great evidence of your generous spirit when it comes to sharing helpful information. Thank you. I learned a lot from what you wrote.
I love it that Doctor Mendelsohn was bucking the system while still working. I've seen some recent examples of medical professionals completing their career of being worshipped and making a boatload of money only to come out with a "tell all" book about how horrific the medical system is. After participating in it they produce a book and make another wad of money.
Great post. Thanks.
I’m a board certified anesthesiologist, and unfortunately I can confirm that everything you allege is true. Medicine today has more in common with religion than science; both medicine and religion promise what they cannot deliver. In the case of medicine, this is deliberate. Medicine has been warped and perverted every way possible to promote sickness for the sake of profit. My favorite example is my own profession, which was deliberately founded on false science in order to wreck the reputation of the nurse-anesthetists who used carbon dioxide supplementation to optimize cardiopulmonary function during anesthesia and prevent devastating ether explosions. The founder of the anesthesiology profession, Dr. Ralph Waters, characterized carbon dioxide as “toxic waste, like urine, that must be rid from the body” using mechanical hyperventilation during anesthesia lest it supposedly cause toxic respiratory depression and other mysterious problems. This is shocking, given that carbon dioxide is benign, beneficial, and as essential for life as oxygen itself because it enables every aspect of the mechanism of oxygen transport and delivery that captures oxygen from atmospheric air and delivers it to cells deep within the body. Those interested should read my published paper called “Four Forgotten Giants of Anesthesia history” that is available free of charge from its publisher, or investigate my website www.stressmechanism.com. The truth is that medicine is now poised at the threshold of the greatest advance in its history. The recent discovery and description of the “mammalian stress mechanism” enables a unified theory of medicine that explains the nature of disease and confers effective treatments that will one day revolutionize medicine by giving physicians the ability to focus their treatments on the actual cause of disease rather than judge their effectiveness on the basis of fickle symptoms. www.stressmechanism.com
Thanks Lewis! I have sent you an email.
What a marvellous community you've built through your hard work and determination.
Bravo my friend x
Thanks Nick, agree, they are a great bunch.
Has anyone ever had a doctor follow up
After a prescription…. i.e.
How are you doing ,is it working,what side effects if any are you having?
Crickets from my doctors!
Prescribe and push them out the door!
Doctors care nothing about patients. The only thing they care about is the medical billing codes. There is no billing code for caring.
The perverse incentives so evident in the American "health" system strongly suggest the NHS model ("socialised medicine") will be better. (Thoughts?)
I always thought that was true, but 2020 changed everything...
Me too, as you age it becomes harder to avoid. Physio was working well on the neck spinal stiffness until the therapist asked me to arch my degenerative spine. That was a breathtaking pain under the Floating ribs on both sides. Had to wait weeks for an MRI, of the wrong body part, then weeks for the Thoracic, which showed an unknown hernia on the left, and an old damaged gallbladder with stones on the right. Sonogram was inculsive. That has been nearly a year, and still no results or treatment. Tried the natural route, but it isn't working. The doctor is more concerned with getting the Hypothyroid working right. I've dropped nearly 30 lbs. It hurts to eat.
i am sorry to hear that. Hurts to eat huh. that is not good. I suppose "the natural route" includes bitters before eatting with some liquid vials of ginseng. or Ginseng stomach pills? There are a lot of natural routes tho. chinese accupuncture/ herbalist, ayurveda, western herbalism and body work. there is a book by Lind Rector paige, called healthy healing, it will cover the basic options and you can choose what you think will work.
I went for a minor (hernia) op about 35 years ago. I've never felt so disempowered in all my life. I woke up out of the anaesthetic to the words "well, that one didn't work, did it?". It was the early days of experimenting with putting a gauze over the hernia 'split', using keyhole surgery. It didn't work, the anaesthetic was running out of time, so they quickly did the traditional cut & sew-it-up method. And this was in a nice local small hospital. I hate to think what big hospitals are like, and nowadays. They are indeed the 'churches'/'temples' to the religious cult Big Pharma Salvation.
