You know the saying: “There are lies, damned lies… and there are statistics.” You can manipulate figures to prove virtually anything you want… and that’s a solemn truth!

Big Pharma science manipulates facts and figures all the time. I have written often that most so-called pharmaceutical “science” is really just clever marketing. It’s not about truth. The same applies, of course, to other aspects of medical science: surgery, vaccinations, pediatrics and hormone therapy, to name just a few.

Now we are living in what has been christened the “post-truth” world. Post-truth was the Oxford Dictionary’s word of the year for 2016.

But we now have a new playing field and, although nobody has defined it as such, the elements of play seem to be: truth, lies, consensus narrative and the cancel culture.

If you say something that doesn’t fit the mainstream—the so-called consensus narrative—you are marginalized to the point of extinction. You are “cancelled”. Science is no longer even the pretense of searching for facts and real truth, as it once was. Today science is about eliminating the competition. Silencing dissent!

Consensus narrative is a kind of “intellectual mob rule”. Indeed, there is a new phrase: “academic mobbing”, in which anyone in university or academia with an exceptional point of view is chased by the pack of consensual “truth” animals, like a pack of hyenas hunting down a gazelle.

The unbelievable intellectual climate has arisen that if you can get rid of those who oppose your theories, that’s considered just as valid as proving you are correct!

Take the case of the electric universe (EU) model. It has far more scientific observations in support of it than the old-style gravitational model of the universe and the so-called “Big Bang”. But the EU is banned, proscribed. The cruising hyenas of Wikipedia have taken it all down and openly boast of destroying the opposition.

You can’t now find a single reference to the electric universe on Wikipedia [as of today, 5 Jul 2022]; you will only be offered plasma cosmology, hedged around with bleating that it does not match the observations of astrophysical phenomena as well as current cosmological theory. But it is the Big Bang gravitational model that does not, in any degree, actually fit with astrophysical phenomena. They are still looking for “dark matter”, which does not exist, has never been found, and is total nonsense. But they need it to prop up their absurd model, so proponents of the “Big Bang” go on talking about it, as if it were real and some day will be discovered. Most people have bought into this delusion, not realizing it is a complete fabrication!

You will also be told that: “The Electric Universe refers to a related set of ideas that are also not supported by observations.” This is outrageous. The EU model is supported by dozens of accurate astronomical observations, whereas the gravity “Big Bang” model has failed to explain even a single real observation. In the last 60 years, all its predictions have been erroneous. There is not one single shred of truth in the current cosmological model.

But you will challenge it at your peril. You will be cancelled, because “it MUST be true.”

Elsewhere, I can point to theories of evolution. Charles Darwin’s model of natural selection and “survival of the fittest” is so ingrained in our culture that very few people even have the nerve to question it. But once again, the truth and honest observations PROVE that Darwinian evolution is wrong; totally wrong.

Fossil records do not show a gradual change from one form of creature to another, as Darwin’s model predicts. Fossils show long periods of absolute conformity to the norm; no change at all. Then suddenly, there is a new species, with new characteristics (so-called punctuated equilibrium).

Gradual evolution (phyletic gradualism) is not supported by archeological evidence, which looks more like the sudden change schema on the right (punctuated equilibrium)

Despite its dramatic flaws, Darwinian evolution is held to be “correct” and those who challenge it are cancelled. Even Thomas Huxley, called “Darwin’s Bulldog” for his passionate defense of the theory, deplored the many faults with the natural selection model.

The Verb To Google

I blame the internet. Once upon a time the world-wide web seemed the most refreshing and liberating experience in the history of Man. Suddenly, we were all connected. Ideas could be exchanged and debated in minutes, or hours, instead of days, weeks, or even years.

Things began to move very fast. Learning became almost instant. Googling or “to Google” became a new verb.

But as time went by, I started to notice strange messages. People began asking peculiar questions, as if they were party to some secret knowledge. Often there were challenges, where somebody was directly contradicting something I knew to be unequivocally correct.

For example, there was a whole health movement which arose as a result of the ravings of Australian biologist (not a doctor) Trevor G. Marshall, who instructed cancer patients to avoid all contact with vitamin D; not to sunbathe, or eat oily fish, or take vitamin supplements containing vitamin D. The aim was to get their serum vitamin D levels (25-hydroxyvitamin D) to less than 12 mcg/L.

This is MADNESS! Vitamin D is one of the most important anti-cancer protectives we have. Vitamin D has a vital role in over 800 gene expression pathways. It is one of the most important nutritional substances in our bodies; and this guy wants to virtually eliminate it? [40 mcg/L is a minimum safe level and 60 mcg or more is better].

But you know what? People bought into this dangerous nonsense and began running around with blankets over their head, to avoid sunlight! Marshall has a following, even today, some of whom have pretensions to be healers. God help their luckless patients!

It is, sort of, cancel culture in reverse. Something we all know to be true and there is abundant real evidence, is cancelled by some idiot with his or her own agenda (usually self-aggrandizement).

Now added to that is this slick and sleazy domain of internet trolling and bullying. No longer the territory of equality and friendliness, the internet is now a harsh world of cyber thugs who seek to enhance their status by bringing down the greats and transforming “reality” into something they are comfortable to live with (meaning mediocrity).

The mob are currently baying for the blood of Winston Churchill—they want to tear down and deface statues in his memory—why? Because he openly made racist comments. The Woke culture want him cancelled.

It’s no secret Churchill didn’t like people from the Indian sub-continent. He especially did not like Mahatma Gandhi. But is that surprising? Churchill had to preside over the Indian nation being broken up and the beginnings of the end of the British Empire, which he adored. Churchill deplored the process and Gandhi’s “peaceful protests” ended up costing tens of MILLIONS of lives during the transition to independence.

What the new loonies want to destroy is the memory of a man who, more than any other, gave them the freedom to howl and whine as they wish. Had Churchill not got Britain safely through the War, the Woke and the LGBTs would have ended up as slaves, or soap, or lampshades, in a Nazi Hell.

They should salute the great man, for what they got from him—but then, mob rule was never anything but stupid and misguided.

I was sitting in idyllic chateau gardens in the south of France, near Narbonne. Life is good: fresh food, sunshine and lots of blessed wine! (yes, blessed—Jesus created some for his pals at a party, remember! Wine from water, I wish I could do that!)

This morning I walked over 3 miles, round the bay, to get my coffee; Vivien joined me (by car), as soon as she had completed her toilet. The vineyards are all around, sprouting and green. It feels like we are swept up in the Circle Of Life down here on the shores of the Mediterranean.

But then, as we sat on the terrace back home and talked love and philosophy, guess what? The yellow planes swept in and started low flying over the vines. We knew what that meant… Sure enough, they started releasing toxic spray from their vents, like evil insects peeing, round and round and round, repeating the spray on each low run.

They were crop spraying! The pollinators for the lovely roadside and hedgerow blooms were doomed. OUT! You stand in the way of profits, so who cares? Die, beasts! (God knows what birds and animals too).

Although the planes were over half a mile away when they started to dump their load, we could soon smell it. Viv and I ran inside and closed the door! As I wrote in my 1986 book, over 90% of pesticide spray stays in the atmosphere, for days, even weeks. I quoted a study in which tagged aerosols released in London were picked up in Sweden, same day!

The Circle Of Life was hideously disrupted here. It’s a buzz phrase but what does it mean? Kids are expected to understand it, when it appears in the movie The Lion King. Mufasa explains to his son Simba that when we die we return to the earth and nourish creatures that come after and which may, In turn, nourish our children.

That’s the way The Creator made the world, not in the image of Sam Walmart!

Linear Vs. Non-Linear

There’s a deeper principle at work here; the Circle Of Life is non-linear, but our world is falling apart because it’s obsessed with linearity. Linear is left-brain and masculine; it’s clever but hard work and not nourishing. It has to be continuously created. Non-linear, or regenerating, or circular, is right-brain and feminine. It is self-reflecting and self-supporting. Nothing closes the loop quite so spectacularly as a woman giving birth! I’ve been there, scores of times. It’s profoundly sacred at that moment the baby gasps its first breath. New life!

I have often had the strong urge to fall on my knees whenever I witnessed this—not to pray to God, but to pay homage to the woman! (doesn’t look good going down in scrubs, so I never DID it, just an urge, you understand).

Face it guys, a woman made us, bore us patiently inside her body, nothing so much as like a parasite, for 9 months! Sure it needed the male seed to get started, but from the moment the woman collected it, the man could die for all Mother Nature cared. Redundant. Not needed.

I’m sure you know, some species make a point of this: the male is gobbled up as food, as soon as he has done the necessary deed! Aaarrgggh! Is that what oral sex is about, do you think?

Anyway, back to the biology of life.

Hamlet, Anyone?

The Circle of Life is first mentioned in the opening sequence of the film Lion King, during which the concept is introduced as an integral part of the Pride Lands. It is again mentioned by Mufasa when he is teaching his son Simba how to make a good king. In order to help the Pride Lands thrive, a lion must follow the principles of the Circle of Life, respecting all the creatures so that nature can follow its natural course.

We are born, we take part, we die. Then we are “recycled” as food for others, including bacteria, fungi and maggots. Our remains fertilize the lands, which feed our offspring, which brings the circle of life round and round!

Mufasa’s speech to Simba is similar to a quotation from Act. IV, Scene III of Shakespeare’s  Hamlet in which Hamlet says “Your worm is your only emperor for diet: we fat all creatures else to fat us and we fat ourselves for maggots: your fat king and your lean beggar are but variable service, two dishes, but to one table: that’s the end […] A man may wish with a worm that hath eat of a king and cat of the fish that hath fed of that worm.”

The Lion King is supposed to be loosely based on Hamlet so this is probably deliberate.

Compost is Sacred

Following these rules, everything rightfully ends up as compost. We harvest the land for food, poop it out, that goes back to the land (or is supposed to), we enrich the soil. It’s circular: cows eat grass, we eat cows, we manure the grass with our excrement, figuratively speaking. But tragically, today, as we know, that is NOT the case.

We buy plastic wrapped food (which is not food, as I explained recently). We throw out the plastic, which sits forever on the land—accumulating mounds of it.

Picture from earth.org [go there and subscribe]

This is NOT the Circle Of Life. This is the Gadarene rush towards death. Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, has a nice turn of phrase: he calls humanity a “suicide cult”! Ha ha!

But seriously, we need to disconnect from the madness of linear, once-off, throwaway living and get ourselves back in to the Circle of Life!

You can start by buying loose vegetables and unwrapped cakes, bread, puddings and the like. Do not buy water in plastic bottles (Fiji water is supposed to be the exception, because its hard plastic does not emit chemicals into the stored water—but it’s still plastic! Duh!) Buy glass-bottled water, or get yourself a good filter: Brita is sort of OK, but we have, use and LOVE the AquaTru from Water and Wellness.

Rebel against packaging! It’s all about tricking you, selling more than you really want, and creating need where there wasn’t any.

And while I’m at it, crop spraying is not part of the Circle Of Life. It’s dead-end profiteering.

OK, preaching a bit. But I am passionate about this. We are either in the world, of the world, or alien to the world! It’s a choice.

Much love to all,

The actual life expectancy for the U.S. population in 2020 was 77.0 years, a decrease of 1.8 years from 2019.¹

However, these are figures from birth. If you have already made it to 50 or 60, you’ve proved you’re a survivor. You will live much longer than the average for all ages—well into the 80s! But again these are averages. As many as half of us will reach 100!

The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that the top three causes of death are heart disease, cancer, and stroke.

Statistics Can Lie

Don’t let statistics bog you down. The really important thing is what will happen to YOU, not what happens to everybody else. You’re not a statistic, you’re not even average. Nobody is average. We are all different. I only want you to understand that the old-fashioned idea of a generation ago—that you were pretty well finished by your 70s and there was nothing much you could do about it—is false and has always been false.

If you go to other supposedly less fortunate societies, you find that living beyond 100 is pretty common and always has been. I first noticed this among my Scottish ancestors, living to 90- 100 years, on a diet of herring and oatmeal (good scientific reasons why these would help you live long). They also had plenty of exercise, walked long distances and, by the way, drank plenty of whisky.

But if you go to societies like the Okinawans of Japan, the Hunzas of Pakistan or the Georgians of Azerbaijan, the picture really is dramatic: many men and women live to be 100 years old, can still work, ride a horse and father children. Unfortunately the ladies cannot match this last but do enjoy occasional “rumpy-pumpy” and they are right up there as sprightly centegenarians, along with the men).

One picture in National Geographic, Jan 1973, shows a woman the researchers know to be at least 130 years old. She’s lucid and lively and—wait for it—has a cigarette in one hand and a glass of vodka in the other!

I took one look at that photograph and thought “What do we doctors know, really?”

Jeanne Louise Calment, a French lady, who famously lived till just a few months short of 123 years. She drank every day and didn’t give up smoking till the age of 117!

So my first piece of advice for living healthy and long is IGNORE EVERYTHING YOU ARE TOLD BY REGULAR DOCTORS. Medical science is crude, simplistic, biased, ignorant, narrow-minded and dangerous. Most of it is, after all, centered around drug company profits, not patient care in the true sense of the word.

So What Do We Die Of?

The Center for Disease Control reported the top 10 causes of death for 2005 were as follows:

1. 1. Heart disease
   2. Cancer
   3. Stroke
   4. Chronic lower respiratory diseases (lung diseases)
   5. Accidents
   6. Diabetes
   7. Alzheimer’s disease
   8. Influenza and pneumonia
   9. Kidney disease
   10. Septicemia (a serious infection that affects the blood)

These were closely followed by suicide, chronic liver disease and cirrhosis, high blood pressure, Parkinson’s disease and homicide.

But wait—I argue that there are just 6 main speed bumps in the road. Yes, that’s right. A lot of these figures are quite complicated and don’t necessarily speak the truth. For example, someone who had a paralyzing stroke but survived, only to die in bed of pneumonia (a very common outcome), would not show up as a stroke death.

But really a stroke was the cause of the fatality; pneumonia and respiratory disease is thus exaggerated. In any case 4 and 8 are pretty similar (lungs).

Stroke and heart disease are also pretty much the same thing, under different names.

The actual disease is arteriosclerosis or bad arteries, whether the heart is most affected or the brain. Even Alzheimer’s could be seen as a disease of the circulatory system since the main problem seems to be poor nutrient blood supply to the brain, caused by aging arteries.

We can rule out accidents, since avoiding them is hardly a medical matter. To die in a car crash has nothing to do with the aging process! It’s just tough luck.

So!

We can actually boil the top of the list down to this:

1. 1. Aging circulation
   2. Cancer
   3. Diabetes
   4. Kidney disease
   5. Septicemia.

But that’s only 5 you say. What about the 6th?

This is what they didn’t tell you in the report: doctors are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US! They account for over 225,000 deaths per year.² These show up as “iatrogenic” causes, a Greek word which means “caused by doctors”.

This year the CDC tried to claim that COVID is the 3^rd leading cause of death. Well, since that’s medical blundering and falsehoods at its worst, that too may be added to iatrogenic causes!

Doctors May Be The Number One Killer

But according to Dr Barbara Starfield of the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health, who prepared the report for The Journal of the American Medical Association, doctors are actually the number one killer, because they do not inform patients properly of the hazards of the procedures they offer (why would they? The patient might have second thoughts and that would lose income for the doctor!)

According to Starfield’s figures:

• • 12,000 —–unnecessary surgeries
  • 7,000 —–medication errors in hospitals
  • 20,000 —–other errors in hospitals
  • 80,000 —–infections in hospitals
  • 106,000 —-non-error, negative effects of drugs

These total to 250,000 deaths per year from iatrogenic causes!! Note that over 100,000 deaths are not “errors”, the patients died of the “correct” treatments.

Another analysis, published in the British Medical Journal³, concluded that between 4% and 18% of consecutive patients experience negative effects in outpatient settings, with:

• • 116 million extra physician visits
  • 77 million extra prescriptions
  • 17 million emergency department visits
  • 8 million hospitalizations
  • 3 million long-term admissions
  • 199,000 additional deaths
  • $77 billion in extra costs

The high cost of the health care system is considered to be a deficit, but seems to be tolerated under the mistaken assumption that better health results from more expensive care.

In fact, evidence from a few studies indicates that as many as 20% to 30% of patients receive inappropriate care (medicalese for “wrong treatment”)! An estimated 44,000 to 98,000 among them die each year as a result of medical errors.

My often-repeated piece of critical advice therefore, if you want to live a long and healthy life, is STAY AWAY FROM DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS. They are by far the biggest speed bump in your way. In fact when doctors go on strike, ironically, the death rate always drops.

Not a lot of people know that! [a phrase from Peter Sellers and often attributed to Sir Michael Caine]

Keep healthy and choose your own day of departure!

Let’s focus on people you may meet or who are already in your life that are very toxic: these individuals are among the biggest health hazard I know.  They threaten all of society, not just you or me.

How Do You Spot the “Sly Ones?”

On my Emotional Ladder (described in my book “Healing Your Life”), you’ll find these types of people between hostility and fear. That’s the key to their personalities.  They want to attack but are too frightened to be open about it. Hence, they are sneaky or sly…

The sly ones are a real hazard to naïve, innocent, or trusting people. Their real motivations – if you could peer inside them – would stress you greatly.

Toxic individuals like this assume roles as terrorists, warlords, or dictators.  They make up the ranks of organized criminals, murderers, rapists, muggers, identity thieves, con artists, gang members, bullies, and corporate fraudsters (to name a few).

These sly ones infiltrate all walks of life: government, councils, politics, corporations, banking, insurance, legal profession, educational institutions.  They’re also common in religion – both cults and traditional faiths – which historically gain power and wealth while dictating the lives of their followers.

Initially, they’re hard to spot.

Outwardly, a sly one will appear calm, pleasant, and reasonable.  They might always wear a smile and seem sympathetic.  Invariably, these kinds start by politely asking personal questions about you, your work, family, relationships, sex life, health, politics, or religion.

They are gathering ammunition.

Being cruel cowards, they are nevertheless jealous and can be extremely dangerous. They are afraid of anger and avoid direct confrontation but will go behind your back to work their mischief. They believe themselves to be specialists in manipulation – direct lyor indirectly – via third parties.

They engage in gossip readily. They will hide the good about a person but will expand or misrepresent the bad that we all occasionally fall into. They manipulate situations for their own advantage, without regard to others’ prosperity, health, or happiness.

Delay in removing toxic people will take its toll on your health.

Sly ones will engage in their games whenever, wherever, and with whomever the opportunity arises. Yet, when confronted, they become indignant and self-righteous or change the subject to move away from the point of confrontation.

They will do or say anything to avoid exposure and never stop short of outrageous lies to remove the focus from themselves. They are always rewriting history or changing the truth about past events, to suit their current position. In public, they present themselves as nice, charming, and helpful. Privately, they are degraded and slothful.

Removing Toxic People Who Perform “The Drama Triangle”

For those of you who know a little of Transactional Analysis (TA), individuals of this ilk employ the “drama triangle” of victim, persecutor, and rescuer. But they are in fact themselves, covert persecutors.

For the objectives that they are too lazy or too fearful to undertake themselves, they covertly manipulate individuals lower on the Emotional Ladder, to assist them with their hidden, hostile activities. They do this by acting the role of the righteous or wounded victim, enrolling their minions to do their bidding.

In TA terms, they appeal to the sympathetic rescuer script to save them from a person or group they cleverly portray as persecutor.

Their targets are any individuals, families, groups, companies, or nations they perceive as more prosperous or more successful than themselves. They want everything both ways, coveting, adopting, stealing, or destroying what others have earned or created, while portraying their target victim as someone vile.

They attempt to bring their marks down to chronic appeasement, chronic sadness, and chronic apathy, so they may be more easily controlled and manipulated. They would like everyone on the planet down at this level, so they can feel important and powerful.

Frequently they will open with a compliment, designed to disarm the listener, and then proceed to push that person downwards by criticizing him or her, making snide comments, implying guilt, inadequacy, worthlessness, or ruin.

If you are the type to fight back, beware!  They will ramp up their terrible games.

Their ambition is to covertly cause ruin, discredit achievements, or break up thriving relationships. Property repossessions, recession, depression, divorce, poverty, and bankruptcy can result.

At this they can be very successful.

Then, when their victims drop into ruin, it allows them to play the role of caring rescuer, so others can see them as the helpful hero, when in fact they manufactured the problem.

At this level, they are subconsciously fearful of their own limitations. They need to feel powerful and secure.  Individuals like this, if they occupy influential or powerful positions, can instigate acts of terrorism and war.

You cannot trust anyone at this level with your health, money, reputation, safety, significant other, children, business, country, or this planet.

They are dangerous.

People at this level are widespread, common and have infiltrated all walks of life. Removing toxic people like this is detrimental to your safety, happiness, and quality of life.

Detox Your Life!

The best answer, as always, is detox! Get rid of them, as you would mercury or GMO foods! Where it’s too difficult or even impossible (such as parents or family), you must minimize your contact with them as much as possible.

It takes extreme control to deal with such individuals – watching what you say and what access you give them to all areas of your life.  Once you identify a toxic person, you must proceed with caution.  Click here to get the full story on how you can deal with these people and the situations they provoke in my book “Healing Your Life.”

Guard your health by removing toxic people like this right now!

The “sly ones” won’t seem unhealthy at first…but you can guarantee that eventually, they’ll say or do something that shows them for who they are.

Stay alert for the “sly ones” in your life!

The answer is you keep on hiking the price, year after year, up and up and UP.

Let me back up a but, before I explode…

Just for once, Big Pharma has a worthwhile product, it works, and it brings the life expectancy of a relentlessly fatal disease almost back to normal. It’s not often that drugs can completely transform the trajectory of a killer disease – but for chronic myeloid leukemia, that is what tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have done.

(CLL is characterized by overwhelming quantities of white cells (leukocytes, stained purple) in the blood; hence leukemia)

Before these drugs came along, there were about 20,000 patients with CML in the United States. Now there are about 112,000 such patients, and that projected to rise to 180,000 in 2050.

However, the catch is that patients need to stay on the drug indefinitely. And this is an issue, because these drugs are very expensive indeed. The high prices [if TKIs] has been described by caring doctors (not so many of those) as a scandal – they cost an exorbitant amount and put an enormous financial burden on patients and their families and the healthcare system.

So everyone was hoping that when the first of this class of drugs – Imatinib – Came off patent, generic versions would reduce cost of treatment.

Ludicrous Pricing

When Imatinib entered the marketplace in 2001, it was priced at about $30,000 a year. That remained flat for a while and then rose steeply. By 2012 it was priced at $92,000, and then jumped to $132,000 in 2014, and then to $146,000 in 2016 when the generic version became available. This is in a country where the median household income is around $63,000, according to official 2018 figures.

Surely, the generic version would be much cheaper than that? But it was not to be. See, Novartis cut what’s called a pay-for-delay deal. What’s that, you ask? The patent holder – in this case Novartis – agrees to pay a potential competitor a large sum of money to keep their product out of the market for a time. Tey calculate the cost of the deal is less than the extra profit they stand to make.

With cars it could (maybe) be considered a clever strategy. But with a life-saving pharmaceutical product IT IS NOTHING SHORT OF OBSCENE.

Thousands more died, while Novartis went on harvesting its greedy profits, stamping out any hope of an affordable cure.

One always has to consider that mass protests are sometimes staged. But I think it’s pretty clear that the Indian people are telling Novartis where to shove its patent!

Eventually a generic entered the US market in early 2016. Because of tricky laws, the generic company (a subsidiary of Sun Pharmaceuticals Industries) was tentitled to 6 months of marketing exclusivity. That mean that no other generic versions of Imatinib could be launched in the US until at least August 2016.

The generic was priced just a few thousand dollars less than the branded Imatinib. In 2016, branded Imatinib cost $146,000 pr year, while the generic version was priced at $140,000.

It makes me so angry.

Ski-High Cancer Drug Prices

The US has the dubious distinction of having the highest expenditures in healthcare, but ranks far from the top in terms improvement in life expectancy. Part of this is driven by the cancer drug experience, and healthcare costs have risen faster then gross domestic product!

Cost escalation began in the early 2000s, and eventually exceeded the median household income of a typical family. The price tag of any new cancer drugs now exceeds $10,000 per month ($120,000 annually).

This has been described as ‘financial toxicity’ which comes on top of the usual toxicity of cancer treatment, and cam limit treatment decisions, access to care, and affect outcomes.

But it’s not just a burden on patients. It’s a burden to society as a whole. These monstrous corporations have wormed themselves into a position where they are, in effect, a horrendous additional tax on us all, sick or not.

I’ve railed for decades that the UK has supposedly socialized medical system. But they didn’t “nationalize” (take ownership) of the drug companies. Therefore British citizens pay a heavy common “tax” that goes straight pay a heavy common “tax” that goes straight to the private coffers of Big Pharma. Not the utopian ideal that the socialists like the boast about, is it?

But here’s the bit that made me rage and rush to my keyboard: in the USA the generic Imatanib was almost as expensive as the branded product. It’s held artificially high everyone can get a slice of the lucrative cake, while patients die in large numbers because they are not in on the game.

Contrast that price-fixing with other countries as follows: in Canada, the patended product cost $38,000, whereas the generic was priced between $5000 to $8000; the generic in India… are you ready for this?

… runs at about $400.

$146,000 (current) vs. $400. The price in India is not a charity figure; they make a profit! Go figure.

We have a clear disconnect between pricing in the US and what’s available in the rest of the world.

Things are Improving (slightly)

At the beginning of 2018 the average price for Imatinib was about $2000 for a 30-day supple, whereas through September 2017, the price was about four times higher (roughly $8000).

Approached for comment, Stacie B. Dusetzina, PhD, associate professor of health policy and associate professor of cancer research at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, Tennessee, was cautiously optimistic, noting that prices of generic products have very recently fallen.

With more competition now, the price should drop even lower. Coupons offered through places like GoodRx will allow patients to purchase a month’s supple of the drug for a few hundred dollars. The lowest price was at Costco, where a 30-day supply of 400 mg tablets sold for $245.74 which is 97% off the average retail price of $11,475.

Despite that, in 2017, generic Imatinib represented still only 28% of prescriptions for newly diagnosed patients. Of course there is the usual vicious disinformation by Big Pharma, that generics are “dangerous”, or they don’t work as well. All of it bullshit… there, see? They are making me cuss.

Maybe patients who can afford it should fly to India, have a nice holiday in the land of the Maharajahs, and fly home with a year’s supple of the generic, all for less than cost of a month’s Big Pharma prescription.

I’m on the scientific advisory board to an Indian company and I have no problem with their standards.

Neither, it seems, do Novartis and others: they have all their branded products made in India, the same place as the generics. Do I smell hypocrisy? Or is it the stench of B*S? (ooops, there, I nearly said it again).

Each of us – this includes you – is a powerful being in our own right.  We can affect positive changes to our lives in every area!  No matter whether your personal struggle is financial, physical, emotional, or professional, you have the power to make changes for the good!

In all my years of living and practicing medicine, I have learned that a crucial aspect of health concerns the health of your inner self.  How you feel in your mind directly impacts how you feel in your body and what your overall health condition will be.

The true obstacles in your life usually involve an unsafe or stagnant environment, people around you who may hinder your personal growth, and your own expectations of self.

That last one is pretty big.  Your intimate feelings about yourself, how you envision your own life, and what is often referred to as your “self-worth” are either going to move you forward or hold you back.  You are the captain of your ship and it is time you take the wheel.

I’m not going to tell you that how you think is the only thing you need to worry about to stay healthy.  That would be silly.  Positive thoughts aren’t going to stop heart disease if you regularly eat from a drive-through restaurant or live a sedentary life.  Positive thoughts aren’t going to stop lung cancer if you smoke cigarettes.  Positive thoughts aren’t going to stop a lack of energy from too little sleep.

The power of holistic healing begins with addressing your entire being – your intellectual mind, your physical body, and your emotional thoughts.  If one of the three is out of balance, your entire life will suffer the consequences.

The Alternative Doctor’s Top 7 Tips for Living Better

1. Get more sleep and make no apologies for it.
2. Remove all toxic foods from your diet.
3. Drink plenty of water.
4. Kick bad personal habits like smoking out of your life for good.
5. Exercise every day for thirty minutes.
6. Refuse to allow negative people and situations in your life.
7. Always be willing to learn and grow.

Everything is connected.  Your history, the history of your family, your children, nature, the country you live in, and the universe that surrounds us.  When you accept these facts and see them in relation to who you were, who you are, and who you will be, you can harness the power to propel your health, your dreams, and your very life forward.

The Power of Holistic Healing Begins from the Inside Out

You have the ability to do incredible things for yourself, your family, your country, and your world.  Yes, it is absolutely true.  The potential is inside you right this moment, waiting for you to tap into it.  I want you to be able to change your world and then share with others so that they can create this type of transformational change, too.

I love method and logic.  Reason and intellect are the best way forward in a world that is far too often unreasonable and ignorant.  Hoping the world unites is a waste of your time unless you understand the “how” to make it happen.

After thirty years of doing what I do, I have over 2 million words that range from insightful to delicious, magical to mean, and powerful to lovely.  The time to share them is right now.

I believe that every problem has a solution waiting to be discovered.  I’m a fixer, a healer, and I enjoy the experience of mending things that are broken.  It isn’t all about repairing the mind or the body.  It is about healing yourself, then your immediate environment, on and on until you begin to affect positive change in the world around you.

In my latest book, “Healing Your Life,” I offer an abundance of techniques and teachings that will change the way you think, feel, and look at your life.

Intentions without actions mean nothing.  If you follow the steps I outline in my book, you’re going to see positive change in yourself, family, friends, neighbors, and even those people you don’t get along with most of the time (or ever).

Change – true, measurable change – resides inside your being and the only way to access it is through your inner self.  The life that is best for you may not be the life that is best for everyone but that is all right!  Our differences and uniqueness means that we all bring something specific to the table and our individuality should be celebrated!

What are you going to find inside “Healing Your Life?”

Healing knowledge that will feed your mind and your spirit like super-nutrition.  I’m going to talk about techniques – some may be familiar and others will be brand new – to take back full control of your life.

Multiple scientific studies around the world now link this basic concept to conditions such as depression, anxiety, diabetes management, sleep complications, kidney disease, increased risk of cancer, and the occurrence of chronic illness such as fibromyalgia and Lyme disease.  

How is “Quality” Defined?

Quality of life measures the positive and negative aspects of your daily existence.  It is your overall wellbeing as a person.  

This includes your current level of health, family history, freedom of movement, exposure to inequality or discrimination, living circumstances, exposure to environmental pollutants, socioeconomic status, available support systems such as education and health care, and your feelings of self-worth and dignity.

In other words, every part of your life determines your psychological and physical health.  

Researchers are finally beginning to understand that your stress, toxin exposure, and lifestyle effect your mental and physical health in the long term.  

Learning how to improve your quality of life is crucial to your very survival.

Because many patients with chronic illness maintain a consistently poor quality of life, they present with weakened immune systems.  This causes established immunity-based medical tests to return a “false negative” – implying that as many as 50% of these patients do not suffer from a host of conditions!

You must also make sure your doctor sees you as his or her patient.  The average doctor/patient visit lasts less then fifteen minutes. Not much can be communicated in that time – especially when you’re talking about your health.

Correct diagnosis depends on your physician understanding your entire profile, symptoms (past and present), as well as your desire to fully recover from your illness – not simply be placed on a lifetime prescription.  Doctors must treat the patient – not the symptom!

With more than eighty forms of autoimmune disease affecting various parts of your body, knowing what is wrong is the first step in making you better.  You need to know what you require from a physician and firmly expect the level of care to make you better.

How to Improve Your Quality of Life

This concept of unhappy “life wellness” used to be associated primarily with the poor – and they remain the largest sufferers in our modern world.  However, it is important not to confuse “standard of living” with “quality of life.”

Standard of living is an objective determination that can be calculated with the right data.  It refers to your economic status – your earnings, employment, access to medical care, expectation of personal safety, education, housing, etcetera.  Every factor of standard of living can be determined by numbers.

Quality of life is a subjective determination that is not always easy to understand.  How another person is doing overall is complicated to calculate because many factors can alter the data.  If a person is homeless, lives in a house without adequate heat, struggles with addiction or abuse, or even works a stressful job that interferes with their ability to sleep – their quality of life can drop substantially.

7 Tips to Improving Your Quality of Life

• Take time every day to think about your life and ways that you can make changes.  Whether you choose to pray, meditate, or make lists – the result is a more focused YOU.  Even small steps in the right direction move you forward.

• Experts estimate that more than two-thirds of the industrialized world is sleep deprived.  Lack of sleep makes it hard to focus, slows down response times, and causes lapses in memory.  Get more sleep!  Adequate rest starts your day off right.

• You might not want to hear it but getting regular exercise is key to improving your mind, body, and spirit.  The hormones released during physical activity make you feel better emotionally and mentally.  Naturally, there is no end to the physical health risks you lower or prevent with exercise.

• Accurately identify “negativity” in your life – whether it regards a job, a family member, friend, or yourself.  When you can clearly define problems, you can then address them to make positive change.

• Once you have that list of changes, make sure you set attainable goals so that you don’t set yourself up to fail.  Setting realistic goals – and being willing to put in the time/effort to make them happen – keeps you from needlessly beating yourself up.

• Not everything or everyone is within your power to change and you must accept what is outside of your control and focus on yourself and your goals.  Don’t let people or situations sabotage your outlook for your future.  You are a powerful being with limitless potential and all you must do is tap into it.

• It is an incredible feeling to step outside your comfort zone!  Take a class, pick up a hobby, go to a party or function you wouldn’t normally attend, and allow yourself a break from stress in a whole new way.  Be good to yourself, be grateful for every ounce of happiness you have, keep striving for more, and pass it on to others.

Talk to your doctor about your goals – mental and physical – and make sure they’re receptive to helping you attain your goals.  If you suffer from a chronic disease that’s causing you to be shuttled from one specialist to another – don’t give up hope!

The right doctor will worry about healing you and won’t consider putting you on various medications to control your symptoms as an acceptable “solution.”  

Understand your own quality of life and then put together a plan to make it better.  Don’t wait another day.

One of the ways Hitler took control of German hearts and minds is that he “confiscated” children, who were taken to special institutions where they were trained (brainwashed) to become good Germans. The parents had no say in it, and little contact with their children once they were removed from the warm, friendly home environment.

Here in the USA, where they are studiously following the Nazi domination plan, things are happening that make it clear the Nazi control method is attractive to some people in charge.

Americans are not being told what’s happening, of course. They just get fed mush and propaganda. But if you want to really know what’s happening here, read the British press!

Here’s an article from The Daily Mail (March 28, 2019) which reported a horrifying incident that took place recently in Arizona. This is the headline:

Shocking Video Shows Arizona Police Officers Forcing Their Way Into A Home To Remove An Unvaccinated Toddler Who Had A 105-Degree Fever After A Doctor Reported His Parents To Authorities.

In the video, from the family security system camera, cops from Chandler Police Department are seen kicking down the door SWAT-style and forcing entry.

The officers were called to a home to check on a two-year-old boy with high fever.

A chiropractor who had seen the boy feared the unvaccinated child had meningitis and reported the parents when they didn’t take him to hospital.

The child actually had an upper respiratory infection (a cold).

What’s Wrong With This Scenario?

1. Only the chiropractor said the child had a fever of 105 degrees. He could be an incompetent idiot. What fool practitioner would send home a child when there is a suspicion of meningitis? He’s lying, to cover his a**.
2. The cops took ALL the kids, not just the one who was physically sick.
3. The children were not sent back, forthwith, when the bunkum told by the chiropractor became obvious. The child’s temperature had dropped to 100 by this time. And not many parents can afford over $2,000 for an ER visit.
4. This is not an event of child protection. It’s an episode of officials kidnapping children, way beyond their authority and sticking to it, even when it’s obvious they had committed a grave error.

Anyone with a brain will quickly realize this is about intimidating all parents who do not vaccinate their children. Such parents will become increasingly criminalized in years to come and face these Gestapo jackboot tactics, if they try to exercise their parental rights and judgment.

(a big deal was made out that the house was untidy. Therefore the parents were unfit. Therefore the cops were “protecting” the children).

As usual, according to MedicalKidnap.com, the heavy-handed authorities then try to invent reasons to justify taking away the children.

Four weeks later, the parents still don’t know where their children are. When they showed up at a meeting with Department of Child Services, they were reportedly told that the agency “had to cancel the meeting.”

Yet no charges have been against the parents.

Based on the numerous other stories published about Arizona DCS and foster care, these parents have legitimate reasons to be concerned about the welfare of their children.

Every 40 minutes a child in Arizona is removed from its parents by authorities. Many are never seen again.

Consider this headline: Is Arizona a Hub of Child Sex Trafficking? Why does Arizona Take the Highest Percentage of Children from their Homes? (see chart)

First Read Another Case, This Time From The UK:

By coincidence, I had read another case only a few days before, concerning a child abduction by the authorities in Britain. This is the most vicious story I have ever read, in all my years. Another scary headline:

My autistic child was kidnaped by social workers: Distraught mother claims family has spent £200,000 trying to free adult son from ‘secure house where he is drugged and restrained’

She can only see him if he is accompanied by carers and she says her son is a ‘prisoner’.

It’s another case of social workers and psychologists far over-reaching their competence level, yet using their undeserved authority to punish, hurt and twist peoples’ lives… BECAUSE THEY CAN.

In this story, police officers turned up on the doorstep of the family home with a council official to say that a secret court hearing had empowered the authorities to seize her son Martin. No appeal, no recourse. She has no idea what she is supposed to have done, as a mother.

‘I could not believe it,’ mother Sinead recalled wept. ‘I called my husband Paul, who broke down in tears, and then I collapsed. Our son had been kidnapped by the state and we were powerless to do anything.’

What all this is about is that mother Sinead won a judicial review, putting the noses out of joint of the council workers who had tried to take over. So they hit back by grabbing her son and incarcerating him, abusing the law for their own vicious retribution.

They are, in effect, torturing the son to death, with the full knowledge of the mother. Autistic kids suffer terribly if their routine is broken. They simply cannot cope with shock and change, never mind being torn from a loving mother.

Realistically, Martin will probably never be released, because what he could tell will have the abusers (the social workers and psychologists) in jail for many, many years. They are not going to let that happen.

So they keep him prisoner. Officials bring down the veil of secrecy, so that these are difficult cases to investigate, with secret court sessions, social workers involved and swirling, serious allegations.

Since then, Martin’s parents, in their early 60s – both with a lifetime of service to others on the public sector front line – have been almost bankrupted trying and failing to win their son’s freedom.

They have spent long weeks fighting lonely, expensive battles in court against lawyers with unlimited public funding.

Worst of all, they say they have seen their son decline from being a cheerful soul into a drugged, desperate and despairing prisoner.

Sinead wants to fight by going public but the authorities have enforced draconian gagging orders that threaten her with prison and the seizure of assets if she talks. Why? What are they scared of? She went public anyway, after assurances that The Daily Mail would change all the names in this case and not even identify the council involved in the saga.

But the newspaper reporter who unearthed the case stated “I have seen notes from council officials confirming Martin has suffered emotional turmoil – ‘reports constantly refer to him crying or being tearful,’ said one internal email.”

Reports by support staff refer to him frequently crying, ‘shouting and screaming’ and asking to return home. ‘I want to go back to mummy and daddy’s,’ records one log in 2016.

Another two years later says Martin ‘wants out’ and to ‘go home to mummy and daddy real soon’.

The same article, on the same day, reports yet another abduction case, where a Polish family fled Britain, after one autistic child was taken by the authorities. AGAIN the family were targeted after falling out with social services during a long struggle to have their son’s condition recognized and for suitable education.

Isolated Cases? Far From It.

A sister paper, The Mail on Sunday, has revealed how hundreds of teenagers and adults have been torn from their families and held against their will for up to 18 years in secretive, secure hospitals and Assessment and Treatment Units (ATUs).

Further shocking reports have revealed that children were being locked in solitary confinement, fed through hatches like animals, abused and forcibly medicated in places costing the taxpayer up to £730,000 ($950,000) a year per patient.

Over the past four years alone, more than 40 people with autism or learning disabilities have died inside these “secure” units.

So my big question is: WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?

Violent, perverted and abusive officials from local authorities, all over the Western world, are using their powers and secrecy to oust parents as the proper carers and managers of their own children.

Are they trying to create parental boogeymen, just to claim their salaries and get a raise?

Or is to some much more serious threat to our civilized values?

One thing I know: when our children are used and abused, instead of being loved and cherished, the end is near.

The children are our future. Are we to let them be taken over, manipulated, tortured and twisted in their upbringing, just to satisfy some sick political dogma?

I want to know. Really.

Phew…
