But I think a major often-overlooked reason is the correction of vitamin A deficiency in the population, so let’s look at that first. 

You will know that I personally choose vit A as the “antibiotic vitamin”, not D as some try to maintain. In the 40s and 50s kids in the Western world were widely dosed with cod-liver oil, which contains lots of vitamins A and D.

That helped… a LOT! (the D also cleared up rickets!)

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) defines Vitamin A as the name of a group of fat-soluble retinoids, primarily retinol and retinyl esters. This vitamin is involved in immune function, supports cell growth, and plays a critical role in the normal functioning of the heart, eyes, lungs, and other organs.

Add to that the fact that vitamin A is a far better protective against the ill effects of measles than any vaccine ever was (vitamin A is the recommended treatment for acute measles, even on the CDC website, did you know?) and you’ll realize this enhancement of vitamin A status was crucial.

[The CDC website has recently carefully manicured its recommendations: it now says: “Consistent with guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics, vitamin A may be administered to infants and children in the United States with measles under the supervision of a healthcare provider as part of supportive management. Children with severe measles, such as those who are hospitalized, should be managed with vitamin A!] That’s as near as they get to suggesting supplements are a good thing!

The CDC suggests doses as follows:

If vitamin A is recommended, it should be administered immediately upon diagnosis and repeated the next day for a total of 2 doses under the supervision of a healthcare provider. The recommended age-specific daily doses are:

• 50,000 IU for infants younger than 6 months of age

• 100,000 IU for infants 6–11 months of age

• 200,000 IU for children 12 months of age and older

These are very substantial doses. I have never taken more than 50,000 IU as an adult!

Be aware that you can have too much vitamin A, as well as too little. Hypervitaminosis A, as it’s called, can cause symptoms like nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, and long-term issues like liver damage and bone problems. The Tolerable Upper Intake Level for adults is 3,000 mcg RAE per day. RAE = retinol activity equivalent. That comes out at 10,000 IU daily max.

In pregnant women, high doses of vitamin A have been linked to severe birth defects.

So set the obvious and powerful benefits of correcting widespread vitamin A deficiency among kids against the claims for vaccination and you will see obvious hysteria on show. They now claim that measles deaths dropped by over 99% following the introduction of the vaccine in 1968. [Oxford University] 

That’s just sheer massaging of facts (lying). In the United States the mortality rate for measles decreased by more than 98% before the introduction of the measles vaccine in 1963 (Figure 1). 

In England, we see the same thing—a dramatic decrease in deaths before the introduction of the measles vaccine in 1968 (Figure 2). The percent decline from peak was 99.6% down at the time that the measles vaccine was introduced. Measles deaths were gone!

And that’s a fact: in some New England states, in 1963, when the measles vaccine was introduced, there no deaths at all from measles. 

The same can be said incidentally for other infectious diseases such as whooping cough—massive declines in death before the introduction of any vaccine. Scarlet fever, which was during the 1800s a bigger killer than whooping cough or measles, went to near zero without the use of a vaccine.

[https://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2015/07/31/measles-the-new-red-scare/]

The Hysteria and Fear Game

But the criminal shills for the pharma industry never stop, for shame. I just came across the fact that Stanford University researchers modeled what could happen over a quarter-century if Americans no longer took vaccines: 290,000 measles deaths (they claimed); 23,000 cases of polio paralysis (they claimed); 41,000 babies born with congenital rubella syndrome (they claimed); and possibly more than a million deaths from diphtheria (they claimed). 

What a scam! As I said, by the time that measles vaccine was introduced there were VERY FEW deaths anywhere. All that can be honestly predicted is that it would go back to the status quo, ie. not a problem. For example there were only 5 measles deaths in all of New England before vaccines. Washington state had a measles death rate of 0.3 per 100,000. 

The Pharma Scammers Have Scant Regard For Mere Truth

There was no possibility of using the truth to spin their webs. So they make up lies or, as they call it, modelling

First notice the word “modeled”. They did a made up scenario and then pretended it was fact. Actually, what they did was took a range of their own guesswork figures, averaged them, and then supposed that would give a fair, unbiased estimate of what would happen. [They call this “science”]

Their second sly trick was to suppose matters would go back to how they were in Victorian times: poverty, open sewers, widespread malnutrition and so forth. That’s just not true. By the time vaccinations came along, the death had all-but vanished (actually was ZERO in several states by that time). So logic decrees that we would just go back to that era. Except…

Third, and the most hidden and nasty, is that they fail to mention the terrain has now been altered to an unsustainable degree by vaccination itself (see below). 

Here’s Where It Gets Really Worrying:

A controversial study done on chickens shows that vaccinated birds caused the viruses to mutate to a more deadly form. Of course some scientists say it has little relevance for human vaccination! Well haha! Chickens are very relevant when it suits them. How often have you seen “bird flu” traipsed through the media as a deadly threat to humans?

But when it threatens their status, they deny it works that way round.

Evolutionary science suggests that many pathogens aren’t deadly, or not even very virulent, because if they kill their host too quickly they can’t spread to other victims. Now enter vaccination. Some vaccines don’t prevent infection, but they do reduce how sick patients become. By keeping their hosts alive, such “imperfect” or “leaky” vaccines could give deadlier pathogens an edge, allowing them to spread when they would normally burn out quickly.

Now a 2015 study proves it can happen with Marek’s disease, a viral infection in chickens. Over the past few decades, Marek’s disease has become much more virulent—which some researchers believe is the result of vaccination.

When the birds weren’t vaccinated, infection with highly virulent strains killed them so fast that they shed very little virus—orders of magnitude less than when they were infected with less virulent strains. But in vaccinated birds, the opposite was true: Those infected with the most virulent strains shed more virus than birds infected with the least virulent strain.

Thus, “vaccination enabled the onward transmission of viruses otherwise too lethal to transmit, putting unvaccinated individuals at great risk of severe disease and death,” the authors wrote in PLOS Biology. It made matters worse!

[https://www.science.org/content/article/could-some-vaccines-make-diseases-more-deadly]

What if this should happen to the new Ebola vaccine? That’s a sensible question asked by study author Andrew Read, a biologist at Pennsylvania State University, University Park. To which industry-fan Adrian Hill, a vaccine researcher at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, retorts “He [Read] should stop scaremongering.” The whole distinction between leaky and nonleaky vaccines is flawed… Every vaccine is leaky, in that some people don’t get protected by it, some people are partially protected, some people have prevention of disease, and others prevention of infection.” Millions of people around the world receive shots every month, and there is no evidence that that has ever led to any disease becoming deadlier, Hill says.

But Hill is disingenuous at best, possibly a pharma shill. We now have new and nasty microbes CAUSED BY VACCINATION. The official term is vaccine-derived viruses (and bacteria). We now have “wild” measles (an atypical form) caused by the vaccines; an altered polio viruses pool; immunity-adapted hep B; antigen loss strains of pertussis (which thus escape the vaccines antibody response); evolved pneumococcus serotypes, which evade the vaccine; and more are being documented. 

Of course we get only official denials. “It’s not a problem, keep taking your shots.” As for the media, they just spew out what they are told to. But there are lots of honest doctors and scientists around the globe, finding awkward facts that contradict the official narrative. You’ll just never get to hear of their work.

Meanwhile they go on ranting and railing about the naughty people who won’t “follow the science”. Well, I follow the science; there isn’t any sometimes!

Just to finish:

Cod liver oil is recognized by the National Library of Medicine as a source of Vitamin A and can be obtained from eating fresh cod liver or by taking supplements.  Fortune Business Insights notes that the “global cod liver oil market is projected to grow from $88.75 million (2022) to $162.86 million by 2029.”

Get some!

Now we live here, of course, we have a better perspective. There are some WONDERFUL Americans: sincere, caring, jovial and of outstanding integrity and spirituality and it is to these people Vivien and I entrust our future.

Since we’ve arrived, the HORRIBLE political polarization we have found very disturbing. Take the last couple of years: Democrats seem to consider it their duty to bring down Trump, even though he was elected by a sweeping majority. The Dems. are actively working against democracy, despite their very name. The governor of California, Gavin Newsome, publicly announced he was stealing $50 million of Californian taxpayers money to bring down Trump (he didn’t call it stealing, of course, he’s too self-righteous). But since it’s to be used to oppose the will of the majority of Americans at the vote, it is surely not legal.

Don’t think I’m Republican either. The way they fight women’s rights over their  bodies with such fury is chilling to behold. It’s as if they think they OWN yet-unborn babies. And large numbers of Rep. senators are heavily invested in the pharmaceutical industry, so they oppose natural healing in principle. We all know about the corrupt lobbying in Congress (read bribes). But enough: as I said, Americans are the problem, not this lovely country.

And, I repeat, not all Americans.

We are lucky to live out West, in the desert. Apart from the good weather, within a few hours drive we have such spectacles of natural beauty as Yosemite, the Sierras, Zion Canyon (surely the most beautiful of all?), Bryce, Grand Canyon, Lakes Meade and Powell, Sedona and the California coastal drive (Highway 1). Vivien and I love whale watching from the clifftops in California. Blues are very common!

It’s like living in Heaven!

Yosemite National Park (yo-semmity for those of you who have never been)

As for Las Vegas, we love boasting! I remember an event one time years ago when we were up in the hills above Lake Como, Italy. It was late and we still hadn’t secured a bed for the night. We called on one hotel, which still had the lights on late. The moment they learned we lived in Las Vegas, they couldn’t do enough for us! They had been the previous year and LOVED it! Unfortunately, they had no beds left but called every other hotel in town, till they found a vacancy for us!

Spoiler Alert: we don’t like the Strip and very rarely go there! We live in a leafy suburb, up the north-west mountain slopes!

Seemingly little things: I am back writing my epic novel on whales and whaling. And it makes me proud that the USA, of all the nations on earth, forced the whaling moratorium in 1982, using her economic power and immense clout to force other nations to comply. It still holds today, though the Icelanders, Norwegians and Japanese have never honored it and continue their senseless slaughter out of sheer arrogance and stupidity.

It’s a fact that US farmers are, collectively, raping the land for greed and profit. But it has been a delight to learn of the many small family concerns that are trying to oppose Big Ag(riculture). The slow food movement and the farm-to-fork campaign relies on them, as does the future of the land. They have it tough because, far from helping them, the Washington bureaucrats seem determined to make it unprofitable for small farms. But we have first-hand knowledge of courage and tenacity and occasional spectacular successes of very bright individuals, who are more of credit to the nation than the numerous jumped-up political nobodies who are harassing them.

And as for courage of the ordinary soul; do not doubt it. Almost weekly we see reports of hurricanes, floods, tornadoes and other natural disasters, where people are rendered homeless and struggling. But the neighbors come forward, often showing great courage, putting themselves in danger to effect rescues. And helping each other rebuild too, without recompense, simply because that’s the right thing to do!

Decency you might think is a rarity these days. But in fact it is not so. The media love to report tales of death, loss and misery and will often do so while deliberately omitting any instances of goodness and compassion. Ugh!

We find the average American to be caring, sincere and honest. It’s just the few who tarnish the image of the many (Hollywood is pretty good at tarnishing the average American too!)

Healthy? No! Americans eat very badly on the whole. It’s virtually forced on them by greedy commerce which wants to sell you far more than you need. Supersize everything! They can sell you 20% extra for virtually no extra cost, so guess what? They push and push till it’s very annoying to keep refusing. Here taking home a doggy bag of left-overs is virtually the norm!

A note about our firemen: we love them! They are so dedicated and courageous. Their job is exacting and very dangerous; wild fires, when they get going here, can wipe out whole hillsides and acres of communities, sometimes in a matter of minutes. In fact 60 – 100 US firemen die every year, protecting people and properties. Because of their calling, it is not uncommon to have the customers in a café burst into spontaneous applause when a fire crew walks in to get themselves a morning coffee!

Not so the police. They do themselves no credit, with unnecessary killings and deadly beatings, often racially motivated. Many black people know that if they are pulled over, they are immediately in danger of their lives. The officer will often have a serious attitude problem and try to provoke trouble. The apparent police approach is shoot first and ask questions later (or just skip the questions…)

All this started at coffee this morning, when Viv suggested that it would be nice to make everyone aware of just what is good about the USA. For instance the magic of Monterey marine aquarium. We only learned via a British TV program (Blue Ocean, I think it was called) about the marvelous conservation and recovery program that was being conducted offshore there. The blue whales are back! There are now several THOUSAND blue whales at large off the California coast.

And on a similar tack, have you heard of the marine 100% “no take” zones? It was an idea first launched by marine biologist Bill Ballantine in New Zealand. But the idea has caught on and now the USA has the largest marine fully-protected zone in the world. It’s off the Hawai’ian chain. The Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument covers roughly 583,000 square miles of the Pacific Ocean; actually larger than all U.S. national parks combined, as of its 2016 expansion!

These zones are to be totally 100% free from human interference. That means no  trawling. No line fishing. No spearfishing. No hooking a lobster out of its lair. No prying off a clump of rock oysters… 

The great thing is it’s working and within an astonishingly short space of time marine animals are back in sufficient numbers to spill out into the nearby ocean and thus benefit local fishing noticeably.

I’m sure you’ll be delighted to know there has been a call to make 30% of the world’s oceans “no take” by 2030!

Gotta love it! Thank you Vivi!

Prof.

What RFK jr. actually said was it was “a possibility”. He told USA Today that his spasmodic dysphonia “could be” due to taking flu shots. That’s cautious. That’s responsible. He stated in an interview that he took annual flu shots until the mid-1990s, then stopped in 2005 “when I began looking at the side effects.”

“I was preparing litigation against some of the flu shots several years ago and one of the entries that was listed on a lot of them was spasmodic dysphonia, which is an injury I have to my voice. That’s why my voice is so screwed up.” “

Do I know it was caused by the annual flu shot? I have no idea.”

When pressed by the interviewer, who asked if he suspected it was caused by the vaccine, he said it’s “a possibility.”

“It’s a potential culprit that I cannot rule out, but I can’t prove it,” he said. “I’d like to know. We should have that data but we don’t.”

MedPage Today flunkeys round on him again with a supposed analysis of the package inserts for the most popular flu vaccines showed that “none of them listed spasmodic dysphonia — or laryngeal dystonia, an alternative name for the condition — as a side effect.” 

Of course what they omit is that the warning WAS on the package inserts. It’s been removed.

Only one flu shot, FluLaval, listed “dysphonia” as a potential respiratory symptom, but this shot was approved in 2006, after Kennedy said he stopped taking flu shots. Of course this is tricky wording to make RFK look stupid or mistaken. But to me they shoot themselves in the foot. If this type of vaccine is shown to definitely cause spasmodic dysphonia, then it makes it very likely that the one RFK was subjected to would also cause the condition.

They’ve just covered it up, as they do.

That great conman Paul Offit, MD, of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, who co-invented a rotavirus vaccine, takes a different line. He said package inserts typically mention any side effect that came up in a clinical trial, even if it was later shown not to be tied to the vaccine.

“Package inserts … are written by lawyers at companies in collaboration with lawyers at the FDA, and they fall under the general rubric of ‘failure to warn,'” Offit said. “They want to make sure that anything that was reported in the vaccinated group gets reported as a possible cause, even if it occurs at the same level in the placebo group.”

I doubt most honest or scientifically-minded doctors would declare the package inserts as bogus or misleading!

And guess what? When Offit’s own rotavirus vaccine RotaTeq® was in trial there were nine seizures in the vaccine group and two in the placebo group, “which was statistically significant.” Very significant. That should have stopped the product right there… but it didn’t of course. Too much money invested in development.

But once that vaccine was rolled out and given to millions of people,” claims Offit, “…You saw the incidence was the same in both groups.” Wonderful isn’t it, how cleverly drug manufacturers cause problem to simply disappear.

There are in fact many side-effects of RotaTeq®, most of them mild, like tummy upsets. But there are some very serious life-threatening problems, notably intussusception. This is a bowel obstruction where one part of the intestine literally “telescopes” (slides inside) into another. It’s not common but there is an increased risk after rotavirus vaccines, concentrated mostly in the first week (or up to ~21 days) after the first dose.

Also serious are sudden episodic severe abdominal pain/crying, vomiting, blood in stool (“currant jelly” stool), marked lethargy. If those show up after vaccination, clinicians generally want the baby assessed urgently. It rapidly becomes fatal.

More controversially Kawasaki disease was reported after RotaTeq® in post-marketing experience (so it appears in manufacturer safety language and labeling summaries).

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a rare, acute illness causing vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels), primarily affecting children under 5. It is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children in developed countries, characterized by persistent high fever (?5 days), rash, red eyes, swollen hands/feet, and strawberry tongue.

When researchers have looked systematically, reviews generally find low incidence and no convincing association, while also noting the need for large datasets. As I said, Big Pharma has this convenient way of making problems disappear and become “unproven” (by their own standards of course).

And there is another not-to-be-discussed problem, which is that live vaccines (RotaTeq® is live) will inevitably shed pathogens on the population and cause a lot of collateral sickness. Of course they consider that part of the price to pay, an entitlement of theirs, to make the population “safe”. The trouble is, children who are immune-compromized, through no fault of their  own, are thrown under the bus.

I’m not saying all this so much as to attack Offit (a man I revile) but to show the hypocrisy and double-science they use to try and discredit anyone who stands in the way of their obscene profits. Every statement of Kennedy’s is opposed, taken apart and supposedly discredited, because they want him out of the way. Otherwise he’s going to derail the gravy train and we’ll end up with healthy people again!

Do I need to remind you how bad things are? The USA in 2024 spent $5.3 trillion on health care, which works out to $15,474 per person, and is 18.0% of GDP.  Yet we are currently tabled at about 46th (males), 47th (females) in terms of overall health (the global health index). Indeed, various healthy life expectancy (HALE) analyses show the U.S. has declined sharply in global standing, with some research suggesting it has fallen into the 60s or lower for healthy life years compared with world peers.

In fact when it comes to “years lived with disability”, THERE ARE ONLY SIX COUNTRIES BEHIND US IN THE WORLD TABLE (204 countries).

Put another way, every dollar spent on the US Big Pharma healthcare system means more death and damage to the population. We are BUYING death and disability!

Go Bobby, go!

For decades, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has concealed the names of generic drugs made in foreign factories that failed safety or quality inspections. The agency’s secrecy has kept patients, doctors, and pharmacists from knowing whether the medications they rely on were manufactured in unsanitary or unsafe conditions.

At factories across India and China — which also supply the UK and other “Western” and European drug agencies, as well as much of America’s generic drug supply — FDA inspectors have found disturbing conditions: pigeons defecating on sterilized equipment, pathogens in purified water used for production, and stagnant urine pooling near areas where injectable drugs were made. Yet the inspection reports released to the public routinely black out the names of the drugs involved.

The FDA says the practice protects “confidential commercial information,” but patient-safety advocates say the secrecy undermines the agency’s mission. “Is there some quality issue? Is there a contaminant? I don’t know,” said Dr. Donna Kirchoff, a pediatrician in Oregon who has spent years trying to trace where her patients’ medications were made.

A Long Pattern of Secrecy

There is no law requiring the FDA to redact drug names, but agency lawyers claim to have adopted the policy decades ago, interpreting trade-secret rules broadly to avoid lawsuits from drugmakers. Current and former officials can’t recall who made the original decision or when. Huh?

As if drug makers would sue the FDA! What a joke. Even if they did, their statutory duty is the public as a whole. Nobody gave them a mandate to save money! (or if they did, it got lost long ago!)

The FDA declined to make its general counsel available for comment; former counsels contacted by ProPublica either declined or didn’t respond.

Industry groups have also stayed silent. The main generic-drug lobbying group said it had never weighed in, and the brand-name drug association, PhRMA, said only that while transparency can promote public health, the FDA must “protect sensitive manufacturing information.”

In what sense is filth and bad practice a “sensitive manufacturing” issue? It’s criminality getting under the radar!

Rat droppings are found as contaminants in a wide variety of buildings

An inspection report from 2022 illustrates the problem. FDA inspectors found spore-forming organisms contaminating sterile areas at a factory in western India. The plant continued shipping drugs to the United States, but with the drug names redacted, the public has no way to know which medications — or which patients — might have been affected.

This is true also in the UK and Europe, Australia and New Zealand too. But there is no equivalent to the FDA, which is SUPPOSEDLY there to protect the consumer, not Big Pharma.

Labels That Don’t Tell the Story

Even if the FDA released drug names, consumers would still struggle to connect the dots. Pill bottles rarely list the actual manufacturer or factory address. A single company may operate multiple plants, each with its own safety record. “If there are no specifics on the labels, pharmacists, patients, and their doctors can’t trace a drug back to the factory,” said former FDA official Dr. Janet Woodcock.

For years, the FDA resisted calls to require this disclosure. “What benefit would this give you and is it worth all the effort?” Woodcock said. “We didn’t think the juice was worth the squeeze.” So she didn’t think it was “worth the effort” to do her statutory job?

The agency has now reversed its stance, asking Congress to amend the law so that drug labels include manufacturer names, factory addresses, and ingredient sources. It also proposed listing more details online. Still, the FDA has not published a comprehensive list linking drug names to manufacturing sites, even though it maintains such data internally. Instead, it posts two separate lists — one with factory addresses but no drug names, and another with drug names but no factory addresses — that cannot be cross-referenced.

Last year, ProPublica sued the FDA for access to its full internal list of drugs and factories. The agency released some information but withheld more than 6,000 factory addresses, citing contractor confidentiality. The case remains ongoing.

Information the Public Not Allowed To See

The FDA also withholds other safety-critical information. Manufacturers must notify the agency within three days of discovering possible contamination or quality defects, but those reports aren’t publicly posted. The only way to see them is through a Freedom of Information Act request — a process that can take weeks or months.

In 2023, the FDA went further, stopping its practice of publishing reports that linked patient harm — including hospitalizations and deaths — to potential quality problems. “We’ve made it almost impossible for consumers to be their own best advocate,” said Lisa Salberg, founder of a nonprofit for people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. “We want food labels to tell us what’s inside, but for medicine, we know nothing.”

A Case Study: Atorvastatin

Lipitor, a cholesterol-lowering statin, was one of the world’s best-selling drugs before Pfizer’s patent expired in 2011. Since then, more than 20 mostly foreign manufacturers have produced the generic version, atorvastatin. FDA records show about half those factories have failed inspections for safety or quality violations.

At one plant in central India, conditions were so poor that the FDA banned imports — then granted an exemption allowing the same factory to continue shipping atorvastatin to the United States. It doesn’t make ANY sense.

The millions of Americans taking generic Lipitor have no way to know where their pills were made or whether their supply came from that troubled plant. Manufacturing failures can be life-threatening: contamination with glass or metal, improper dissolution, or incorrect dosing. 

Pharmacies and insurance companies, not patients, decide which generic version to dispense. A refill could come from a pristine factory or one plagued by mold, rat poo and rust. 

The FDA says it is “reviewing the redaction process,” but offered no timeline. Some former officials defend the practice, claiming full disclosure could reveal proprietary manufacturing methods. Others disagree. “Inspection reports don’t include trade secrets,” said Woodcock. “They’re talking about whether the test was done correctly or whether there was mold in the dryer.”

Legal experts told ProPublica the blanket removal of drug names is improper and should be done case-by-case. But during their tenures, few FDA leaders questioned the practice. “If lawyers tell you you can’t do this or we’ll get sued, no one is going to take that risk,” said Dr. Mac Lumpkin, a former deputy commissioner.

Re-conditioned packaging for pharmaceutical products can easily be used then filled with substances that are NOT approved.

Twenty-Five Years of Lying and Resistance

Calls for reform stretch back decades. In the early 2000s, FDA officials proposed sharing unredacted inspection reports with Switzerland to coordinate oversight of high-risk foreign factories. Agency lawyers blocked it, saying even trusted foreign regulators couldn’t see confidential information. “They didn’t want to do anything that would make the industry mad,” said Lumpkin. “It was not, ‘What do we need to do for public health?’ It was, ‘How do we keep the FDA out of court?’” Or let’s not be cute, it’s: how do we keep our Big Pharma pay lords out of court?

Around the same time, Woodcock began building a database of factory addresses for all drugs approved in the U.S. “There was no information,” she said. “It was terrible.” Even after the database was complete, the FDA released only partial details — drug names without addresses, and vice versa.

In the 2010s, as the Obama administration emphasized government transparency, the FDA launched an online database of factory inspections — but continued redacting drug names from the reports.

In 2022, a committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine urged the FDA to require manufacturers to disclose where their drugs are made. So far, the agency hasn’t acted. All we can be sure of is that there IS a problem, otherwise they wouldn’t be keeping information secret.

A Promise of “Radical Transparency”?

When Dr. Marty Makary became FDA commissioner in 2024, he promised “radical transparency.” The agency soon began publishing more information on why it rejects applications for new drugs — but not on where existing drugs are made.

Two years later, the FDA still hasn’t released detailed data connecting generic drugs to their factories.

ProPublica, which paid for access to a commercial database of FDA inspection documents, continues to fight for disclosure through the courts. The case could determine whether Americans will finally be able to learn where — and under what conditions — the pills in their medicine cabinets are made.

Meantime, best advice? Don’t take drugs. There are safer ways to retore health. Drug manufacturers are not going to lower their profits, just to keep you safe! (no, really, I’m talking about pharmaceutical drugs, not contaminated methamphetamines and ketamine). The criminals are tracked down and go to jail. But Big Pharma executives never do; they just get richer and richer.

Just don’t expect to read about it in the press or hear a TV segment that shares these remarkable discoveries. For the longest time now, “science” has  been conducted in the media. You have journalists “commenting” on things they don’t even understand but they do know their job: they have been told to trash contrary voices and take down personalities with dissenting views.

This is blared across headlines and the public assumes that there is a science debate going on. NO THERE ISN’T. It’s just character assassination. And there are always creepy individuals to step up to the plate and lie or dissemble. One wonders are they getting paid? Or just vicious nasty human beings who seek the chance to pour evil on good!

Take an article which ran recently in the doctors’ daily blog MedPage Today (Sept 30^th): it was a takedown of actress and activist Jenny McCarthy. She’s a shining light in social media with millions of followers and what I consider quite balanced and sensible views. 

But she was labelled an “antivaxxer”. That’s always a good start if you want to destroy someone’s credibility. In fact it’s a lie. In her own words she considers herself in favor of “safe vaccination” (well, who isn’t?)

But she dared to get in on the Tylenol (acetaminophen) debate and therefore she must be destroyed.

My readers will probably remember I was there long before the current wave, with reservations about Tylenol and its possible role in autism. Nearly 10 years ago I drew attention to the fact that Cuba had a very high rate of vaccination (over 99%) and yet almost NO autism, coming in at around 0.00168% of the population!¹

Surely this is a screaming siren calling attention to the fact that all current theories are probably wrong? Well, this is another “I told ‘em” but now everyone seems onto the story. And good job it is so.

Note: What is highly significant is that, here in the USA doctors routinely advise acetaminophen/paracetamol as a prophylactic for the fever that commonly accompanies vaccination, even up to five days beforehand! In fact some kids get their first autistic symptoms before vaccination!

In Cuba, the drug metamizole is most commonly prescribed for fever and NOT acetaminophen/paracetamol.

“While some of McCarthy’s claims are rooted in truth,” the critical piece said, “An expert told MedPage Today that McCarthy mischaracterized the relationship between acetaminophen and glutathione and manipulated information to fit an agenda.” 

Oh, just exactly like normal scientists then! As for “expert”, I would say dimwit. But we’ll come to that in a moment.

Glutathione is, of course, our number #1 detox molecule. Without it, we’d be dead in hours.²

“But what if your body is low in glutathione?” Jenny McCarthy posited. “What if that detox methylation system gets kind of jolted, broken, if you will, lowers so that it cannot detox the adjuvants, the aluminum in the body? Then it winds up floating around the body, attaching to brain, gut — you name it.” 

McCarthy recommended not taking Tylenol before or after vaccines and to get glutathione levels checked. Here’s where the blog trotted out a phoney as an “expert”

“I personally have never ordered a glutathione level or checked it in my entire life as a toxicologist,” Lauren Shawn, MD, an emergency medicine physician and medical toxicologist at Phelps Hospital in Sleepy Hollow, New York, told MedPage Today. “Glutathione level itself is not really clinically relevant to me in my practice.”

She’s a toxicologist and glutathione is not relevant to her practice? It’s like saying she’s cardiologist but doesn’t need a stethescope and can’t read an EKG!

As for vaccines, Shawn said that the recommendation to not take acetaminophen or other anti-inflammatories before a shot is to avoid blunting the immune response and has nothing to do with glutathione or fears of toxicity. Lying again: the 99% reason doctors prescribe acetaminophen is to control the fever which almost invariably results from a shot.

And goes on with breathtaking ignorance, to say, “Taking acetaminophen afterwards to manage symptoms is absolutely fine.”

She clearly has not read the latest science that shows acetaminophen to be a very toxic substance which no one should take, ever.

Toxicity from acute or chronic overuse of acetaminophen is an actual concern, and N-acetylcysteine, which helps the body make glutathione, is the antidote. NAC is a precursor of glutathione.³

In an online video, McCarthy shared that she and her son, who has autism, both have naturally low glutathione levels, even though she didn’t take acetaminophen before or after vaccines, and they both get weekly glutathione IV infusions.

The Dimwit Continues

Shawn said glutathione is one of the hot new treatments in alternative medicine, even though evidence doesn’t support the therapy. This is a criminally negative doctor talking. There are TONS of papers on the clinical importance of glutathione in medicine and health.

“Best-case scenario you’re giving yourself expensive urine,” she added. Ah, the old “expensive urine therapy” ploy. Well, statins give you VERY expensive urine, for no real benefit. Same with anti-depressants.

Shawn also said anti-vaxxers like McCarthy and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “use the big medical terms and words, and they sort of touch on things that are kind of correct,” but don’t have the expertise to analyze and understand the data.

So… if someone says something that’s accurate and true, you can discredit them by saying they don’t have the expertise to analyze and understand the data. Well, how expert do you have to be to understand that Tylenol is repeatedly associated (lots of studies!!) with psychological damage and social withdrawal. Loss of positive empathy, they call it… kind of like autism?⁴

“I just think it’s so dangerous that these celebrities and non-healthcare professionals are saying things as the truth without real evidence or understanding of what they’re saying, and they’re convincing other people to follow their lead,” Shawn said.

She’s lying, of course, because there is lots of evidence for what McCarthy is saying. Yes. She’s not medically trained. But any intelligent person can understand the issues, if you just read the science (which Shawn clearly has not done!)

The article for MedPage Today was written by under-performing journalist Rachael Robertson.

One of the comments below her article was by an RN: 

Why do we even have to listen to those WITHOUT ANY MEDICAL BACKGROUND? They have their own agenda and don’t listen to anything they don’t agree with. Seems like anyone who wants some publicity can start spouting their views. Is there any common sense left?

We have this expression in England (from centuries past): The pot calling the kettle black. Get it?

— Government independence, transparency, and legal integrity must be restored…

Blare the Medpage Today headlines (October 4^th). Say what? The government health agencies never had the least shred of trust, there was never independence, transparency or integrity.

Read instead: lying, cover ups, bribes, pay outs, obfuscation and secrecy—and abiding by the law never seemed to trouble those ensconced in the FDA, the CDC, NIH or ACIP.

Trump and RFK jr. have called out the mob in control of medical protocols and profits (same thing) and they don’t like it! They are screaming (and sweating).

“The combined MMRV offers a simple, safe way to protect children from four potentially serious diseases with one injection,” claimed the above article. That’s a complete, bald and politically-motivated lie. Combining the jabs is very dangerous and makes a bad situation worse. I have stated repeatedly that I was probably the first doctor in the world to spot the sudden wave of severe autistic disorder, following within days of the MMR shot. I spoke about it on radio and it’s in my 1985 book (written 1984) The Food Allergy Plan.

Next they claim missing the chicken pox vaccine “opens the door to resurgent chickenpox and later shingles — an often painful, debilitating, and sometimes deadly disease.” So how come that chicken pox in otherwise healthy children is described by the FDA as “usually a self-limited disease of mild to moderate severity.” That’s not deadly. Nobody ever died of typical chickenpox.

Similarly, shingles was once an unpleasant disease but uncommon, mild and self-limiting UNTIL THE ADVENT OF VACCINATIONS, since when it has become widespread and quite debilitating. There is no question among those of integrity and knowledge that the current wave of shingles was caused by the totally unnecessary mass vaccination campaign against chickenpox.

A great book to read on this topic would be Forbidden Facts: Government Deceit and Suppression About Brain Damage from Childhood Vaccines by Gavin de Becker. De Becker is a security and protection billionaire, who protects Robert F. Kennedy jr. on his campaigns. It’s a brilliant book and I wolfed it down even though, as you know, I have a great deal of insight into this issue. I read things he’d uncovered which I could barely believe.

It costs just $5 and is worth every penny. Download it as a Kindle book here.

Gavin de Becker. He advizes the great and mighty (Jeff Bezos, Richard Burton, Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda and Tina Turner, for example) on personal security and safety. 

De Becker is very witty, which I enjoy. He asks rhetorically how would we feel if every one of the top manufacturers has been criminally fined for the worst sorts of offences? “Let’s find out how we’d feel…” he says and then treats us to a long list of intolerable criminality [edited down by me]:

Pfizer: For illegal marketing of its products, the company was forced to pay the largest criminal fine in US history. Plus $1 billion more in a 2009 settlement to resolve violations of the False Claims Act… another $240 million in criminal fines, and another $190 million in 2004 to resolve false claims made to Medicare and Medicaid. That’s all—other than $60 million the same year for kickbacks and off-label marketing, and $ 40 million in settlements with whistleblowers, $75 million for fraudulent marketing, another $15 million for paying kickbacks to healthcare providers. 

Johnson & Johnson: $5 billion to multiple states and local governments for its role in the opioid crisis, deceptive marketing, downplaying the risks and overstating the benefits of their products, false claims made to mislead doctors, patients, and regulators, tricky promotion to get doctors to prescribe their products more widely, producing and distributing products they knew to be dangerous, producing and distributing Fentanyl products, and failing to adequately warn about the risks of their products. 

Earlier in the book, de Becker covered the billions J & J paid ($4.7 billion so far) in connection with baby powder that they knew for decades had cancer-causing ingredients that harmed people, another $2.2 billion for illegal marketing and kickbacks to doctors and pharmacies, $5 billion in 2013 for selling a product they knew was dangerously defective, another $1.1 billion in penalties for failing to warn about the risk of heart attack and strokes from one of their products, $33 million for their false and misleading marketing that overstated benefits and downplayed risks of Depo-Provera, $70 million for bribing doctors and pharmacies to prescribe drugs that were not appropriate for the conditions being treated. 

GlaxoSmithKline: $3 billion in penalties for fraud and failure to report safety data. Glaxo apologized and moved on. 

In 2014 found guilty of systematically bribing doctors, hospitals and government officials to boost drug sales, through a network of 700 middlemen and payments estimated at $150 million. GSK initially called the allegations a “smear campaign,” but eventually they admitted the illegal activities. Glaxo apologized and moved on.

I did not know that in 2014, the European CDC reported that Glaxo released gallons of live polio virus solution into a water-treatment plant in Belgium.

Merck: We all know about the criminal Vioxx scam, $650 million criminal fine for paying kickbacks and overbilling Medicare. Two of Merck’s virologists became whistleblowers and revealed that the company had tested their MMR vaccine, against a cherry-picked variant of the mumps virus rather than against the actual virus children might encounter. 

And guess what: The MMR tests came out really good—until it was revealed Merck had added rabbit blood to human samples in order to boost antibody levels. 

“Hey, nobody’s perfect,” says de Becker!

And guess what? Vioxx is now back on the market. That’s proof the FDA is criminally in cahoots with Big Pharma. If you are a man aged 65 to 74 you have a 1 in 50 chance of a heart attack this year. If you are taking substantial doses of Vioxx, that shifts to a 1 in 10 chance!

Eli Lilly: a criminal fine of $515 million in 2009, a civil settlement that could reach $800 million, for a total of $1.4 billion, all resulting from their product Zyprexa. They had to pay $1.2 billion to settle about 32,000 cases with customers who were injured by the same product, plus $47 million paid to a bunch of states for improper marketing. 

“I could share similarly rosy accounts regarding Sanofi, Novartis, and Roche,” says de Becker sarcastically, “But all we’d see is more price gouging, failure to disclose side effects, bribery, corruption, defective products, delayed recalls, lies, misuse of political influence, and cheating on clinical trials.

So the question which hangs is: DO YOU TRUST THESE CORPORATIONS TO BE TRUTHFUL WHEN THEY SAY IT’S COMPLETELY SAFE TO INJECT THEIR VACCINES INTO OUR KIDS? I hope not, otherwise you need psychiatric help!

And the second question hanging is: why do these fines not rein in the company’s bad behavior? The answer is that these fines are just chump change for them. They earn $trillions and get fined $million or a few $billions. They probably have it factored into their business plans! An allowance for criminal fines, XX%.

Seriously though, it’s a problem. Lying and cheating is endemic in US business practices (Oh plenty of others, China for example). But here we are talking about lying that costs lives—very many lives—not just greed or avarice.

We have to pray that RFK stays alive long enough (with de Becker’s protection) to dismantle the whole rotten empire, put Big Pharma on the back foot and clear out the nest of vipers, once and for all. Otherwise children everywhere are going to be destroyed and children are our future. THE future. The ONLY future.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy jr. has pledged to find the true cause of autism.

At the time of writing, the HHS tally of autistic and brain damaged male kids is  1 in 20 (California 1 in 12.5)* Meantime the grotesque corporations go on pouring on medicines which contain aluminum, mercury, asbestos (baby powder) and lead (milk formulas). Injecting kids with vaccines that don’t even apply to them (COVID, which no child or infant ever got) or Hep B on their first day in earth (Hep B is exclusive to drug addicts, prostitutes and homosexuals) and have shown themselves to be clearly capable of manipulating safety and effectiveness data in favor of profit and AGAINST the interests of children affected.

This has to be stopped. Pray to God it is.

The posey (and dangerous) belief that US doctors are the best trained in the world is a myth. As an outsider myself, I have never seen so much incompetent blundering on any scale, as here. I’d far rather go to India to have my appendix out or have a gallstone removed than do it in this country.

So MANY people die here of medical incompetence. It doesn’t show up nearly enough, because the patient is listed as dying of the disease, instead of killed by the doctor. It’s right to ask: are American doctors among the most incompetent in the world?

There is good reason to think so. First, July 26, 2000, Journal of the American Medical Association; author, Dr. Barbara Starfield, revered public health expert at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, wrote an article “Is US health really the best in the world?”

Starfield reported that the US medical system kills 225,000 Americans a year.  106,000 as a result of FDA-approved medical drugs, and 119,000 as a result of mistreatment and errors in hospitals.  Extrapolate the numbers to a decade: that’s 2.25 million deaths.  You might want to read that last number again.

Incredibly, 106,000 deaths per annum were caused by the CORRECT medicine, CORRECTLY prescribed, according to BEST PRACTICE!¹

Here is another citation: Author, Jeanne Lenzer refers to a report by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices: “It calculated that in 2011 prescription drugs were associated with two to four million people in the US experiencing ‘serious, disabling, or fatal injuries, including 128,000 deaths.'”  

The report called this “one of the most significant perils to humans resulting from human activity.”²

The report was compiled by outside researchers who went into the FDA’s own database of “serious adverse events.”

Therefore, to say the FDA isn’t aware of this finding would be absurd. The FDA knows. The FDA knows and it isn’t saying anything about it, because the FDA certifies, as safe and effective, all the medical drugs that are routinely maiming and killing Americans.

By the last count, independent studies suggest that between 200,000 and 400,000 people die each year in the United States from preventable medical mistakes. That doesn’t even count the millions maimed and injured.

And lately, a significant article published in the BMJ has shown convincingly that 1 in 250 patients die here when treated by US-trained doctors.

Medicare patients admitted to the hospital and treated by internists who graduated from medical schools outside the United States had lower 30-day mortality than matched patients cared for by graduates of US schools, according to results of a study published online in the British Medical Journal (BMJ).³

But that’s just the background. How about indescribably stupid blunders that literally kill people? There was a case in court recently in which a doctor was being sued, because he had removed a man’s liver BY MISTAKE. It’s mind boggling that a professionally qualified and trained surgeon could remove a liver by mistake. He thought it was the spleen, which is what he was supposed to remove.

Trouble is, though you can live for years without your spleen, you can’t live more than a few days without a liver. The patient died. 

I’m reminded of an old doctor’s gag: “the operation was a great success but the patient died.”

Wrong Side

Removing a limb or organ from the wrong side of the body is not rare—but inexcusable.

An Air Force veteran went for treatment for possible cancer of one testicle. When Benjamin Houghton went into surgery to remove his diseased left testicle at West Los Angeles VA Medical Center, the surgeons mistakenly removed the right, healthy testicle instead. 

The medical mistake was traced back to the patient’s medical record where the surgeon failed to mark the correct side before undertaking the operation. Mr. Houghton and his wife brought a medical malpractice case against the VA Medical Center for $200,000.

In 2007 neurosurgeons at Rhode Island Hospital made not one, but three catastrophic medical mistakes by performing wrong site surgeries on three different patients’ heads. 

Two of the mistakes were caught early enough to close the initial holes and treat the correct side, but the other surgery killed an 86-year-old patient. Believe it or not the surgeon who made these mistakes had his medical license suspended for only two months. So much for doctors policing themselves.⁴

Only a few days ago, I was reading about a baby who was decapitated at birth, because of extremely rough handling (read: ridiculously excessive force). The baby had become jammed, making it a very difficult delivery (or impossible for a clod of an ObGyn). Why didn’t he elect for an emergency caesarian? As a result of the delay the baby died but to rip its head off, taking delivery? Makes you shudder.

In February 2024, the Clayton County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the baby’s death a homicide caused by “actions of another person,” stating the  death resulted from a fracture of cervical vertebrae in the spine.

The parent’s attorney, Dr. Roderick Edmond expressed the gravity of the situation, stating, ” Every aspect of the evidence that shows what happened is traumatizing, something I’ve never seen in my life.”⁵

The poor family were, of course, very upset. But they were even more traumatized when some pathologist MD posted pictures of their child’ autopsy on social media, without the parent’s consent, showing the decapitated corpse… I mean? 

His excuse?  A clause in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) that allows physicians to inform the public when there are safety concerns in health care. His justification cannot be supported.

Just a Mistake?

You might find yourself being sympathetic. No matter how terrible a blunder, it could have just been a mistake, surely?

Well, how about this case: a surgeon deliberately took a screwdriver and stitched it into a patient’s spine!

Surgeon Robert Ricketson was to operate on a patient’s spine but couldn’t find the titanium rods he intended to use. So instead of canceling the procedure, he sawed off a screwdriver handle and put that to use instead.

No surprise: within a few days the screwdriver makeshift rod broke, resulting in agony for the patient. 

Robert Ricketson, sued for his actions, said he had no choice but to implant the screwdriver into the back of Arturo Iturralde, then 73. He said he did not have the titanium rods needed to complete the operation properly. A nurse who was present knew full well this was criminal doctoring and retrieved the screwdriver parts and sent them to a lawyer, so the truth quicky came to light.

It emerged this grossly incompetent surgeon had already had his medical license suspended in Oklahoma and revoked in Texas, following a string of malpractice lawsuits and treatment for a narcotics addiction. He had also admitted to writing fake prescriptions to obtain drugs.

In 2017, a 49-year-old man was injured in a motor vehicle accident. The surgeon failed to conduct standard tests (like an angiogram), neglecting to check for arterial blockages. This led to inadequate blood flow post-op and the  negligence ultimately required an above-the-knee amputation.

In 2024 a jury awarded $10.2 million in damages.⁶

In 1995 patient Willie King was subjected to a wrong-limb amputation. He was scheduled to have his right foot removed, instead his left leg was taken away. The surgeon was Dr. Rolando Sanchez. During the surgery, Dr. Sanchez realized too late that he was operating on the wrong leg but the operation had already progressed past the point of reversal. In this case it was even more tragic because Dr. Sanchez believed he was removing the correct limb, the left leg had been fully prepped ready, before he even entered the OR.⁷

All this violates to first principle of medicine, which is FIRST DO NO HARM.

Finally, A Great Tragedy

In June 1997 singer Julie Andrews underwent an operation on her vocal cords at New York City’s Mount Sinai Hospital. As we all know, the surgical procedure left her unable to sing. Her beautiful, crystal clear 4-octave voice was ruined and even her speaking voice turned harsh and rasping.

In December 1999, Andrews filed a lawsuit against her doctors and Mount Sinai. It claimed she had not been told of the risks of the surgery and that the results “ruined her ability to sing and precluded her from practicing her profession as a musical performer.” There had been “no reason to perform surgery of any kind.” A statement from Andrews also noted, “Singing has been a cherished gift, and my inability to sing has been a devastating blow.”⁸

A confidential settlement was reached the next year. But no amount of money could replace that voice.

It only remains to say that the majority of doctors are not so incompetent. And to reiterate my earnest advice to all: IF YOU WANT TO STAY HEALTHY AND LIVE LONG, KEEP AWAY FROM DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS!

OK, a quirky one this week from me. But while others go banging on about the health benefits of herb teas and “reasons to take vitamin D, part seventeen”, I sometimes cast a wider net, as you all know!

This is pretty shocking. I was proud to be a British doctor; the standards for qualification are far higher than in the USA. We were a socially-funded health service, the envy of the world. But that was then; this is now…

The dream has soured. For years I’ve been writing about the evils of a nationalized medical system, where drugs and equipment were totally in private hands. In effect, it means that the taxpayer is funding—at VAST profit—the pharmaceutical industry. And they have no choice: nobody ever actually ASKED the average Brit if they minded paying obscene prices to, effectively, a Nazi derivative business.

Josef Mengele, the infamous doctor of Auschwitz, is now the watchword for evil experiments on captive human beings. 

Josef Mengele, often dubbed the “Angel of Death”.

He’s dead but his work continues apace. We had the infamous Tuskegee syphilis experiment (“Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male”), a clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 in Tuskegee, Alabama, by the U.S. Public Health Service.

In a 1946 to 1948 study in Guatemala, U.S. researchers caused prison inmates, insane asylum patients, and Guatemalan soldiers to be infected with syphilis. Approximately 700 people were infected as part of the study (including orphan children). The study was sponsored by the Public Health Service, the NIH (National Institutes of Health), the Pan American Health Sanitary Bureau (now the World Health Organization’s Pan American Health Organization) and the Guatemalan government. Read that again: the NIH and the WHO directly sanctioned this abuse!¹

There are many other examples of abusing unwilling or uninformed humans beings as guinea pigs in idiotic testing schemes, including infections with deadly or debilitating diseases, human radiation experiments, injections of toxic and radioactive chemicals, surgical experiments, interrogation and torture experiments, tests which involve mind-altering substances, and a wide variety of other experiments. Many of these tests were performed on children, the sick, and mentally disabled individuals, often under the guise of “medical treatment”.

Latterly, of course, we have had the global experiment of subjecting BILLIONS of uninformed and gullible individuals, many unwilling but forced, to a toxic experiment in DNA manipulation… and it has gone horribly wrong. The true cost of COVID vaccines is only slowly emerging, because the truth is even now being suppressed forcefully by the “authorities” (read perpetrators).

Most of the evil greed, the lies, the coercion, has emanated from the USA, true. But other bodies around the world have not been slow to march in lock-step with the Nazi forces in our midst.

The General Medical Council (GMC, Read Conspiracy)

I come now to the story which caused me to take up my angry pen (some say I write best when I’m ranting, in which case this is gonna be good, because I’m INCANDESCENT…)

A very dear friend, Dr. Sarah Myhill, is being dragged through every horrible evil process of law you can imagine. Her “crime”? She’s a loving, caring and very wise doctor, who thinks like me and that the whole COVID enterprise sucks AND SAYS SO. She suggested that natural remedies are best. She advocates for diet, exercise, stress management, nutritional supplements, detoxification, herbals and homeopathic medicines. 

But that is not considered good medicine. So much so that things already came to a head in the 1990s when she was chastised because her prescribing budget was so low. In establishment eyes that made her a bad doctor. She did not soak up the Big Pharma B*S*

As a result of her anti-COVID stance, what we call the General Medical Council of Great Britain (the GMC) has persecuted her mercilessly. She is now (officially) the most persecuted doctor in British history. No fewer than 43 attempts were lined up to destroy her. She survived the first 39 attempts: Sarah 39, GMC nil!

Here’s a picture of Dr. Myhill I took last year, standing proudly in her organic garden.

A famous British advocate (what we call “King’s Council) was so incensed he offered to defend her for FREE! (you won’t get lawyers doing that very often but that’s a measure of how patently unjust this whole “process” was).

But the GMC has unlimited resources. They were bound to win in the end, simply because they could go on forever in their petty-minded vendetta. The GMC emerged as no more than a bunch of criminal lackeys, long past their sell-by date, who only retain their powerful roles because they work for Big Pharma. They do NOT represent the patient’s safety, as they claim, but seek to forward corporate interests at every turn.

Consider the evil of what they did. First off, THEIR lawyer, Peter Mant KC, advized her to lie (in court) to escape suspension from the practice of medicine. The GMC’s own lawyer advized dishonesty! Yet the GMC’s own ‘Good Medical Practice Guidelines’ state that doctors must be honest. They must be honest to patients. This is a legal imperative. 

Second, they wouldn’t allow her subpoenas for witnesses in her favor and cancelled them. The witnesses who turned up anyway were barred (effectively denying her a defense).

They would not even consider her written evidence: she supplied the GMC with a plethora of documents, clearly demonstrating the efficacy of various holistic treatment regimes: 35 pages of details, all fully referenced. But they refused to read it.

They refused her permission to cross-examine their chief witness (obviously because he was an ignorant toady who just quoted the party line but could not possibly stand up to questions about the anti-viral effects of vitamin D).

Science was not discussed, indeed it was not allowed.

For instance their stooge said the doses Sarah was advocating were “potentially lethal.” 10,000 IU of vitamin D “potentially lethal”? It’s absurd. It would have been great to hear him cross-examined and asked: “Where did you get such data?” Of course there isn’t any. 10,000 IU is about as much as we make in our bodies in 30 minutes on a sunny day!

So much for “expert” testimony.

The craziness of all this is that THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A SINGLE PATIENT COMPLAINT AGAINST HER IN DECADES. Their own lawyer, Tom Kark KC commented: ‘The problem with the Myhill cases is that all the patients are better and none will give witness statements.’  The man on the street would describe this as a witch hunt. And alas, my friend being a woman, one can only quake at what would have happened to her in centuries past…

Notwithstanding, the GMC, acting on phoney complaints of Big Pharma lackeys, arraigned her on criminal charges. She was “struck off” the register in February 2023. In UK terminology that is the same as losing her license.

The truth is decent, honest and competent people cannot stand up to the phoney stooges that Big Pharma has put up against them. It all comes down to the dollar. Simple effective remedies threaten their profits. That cannot be allowed to stand.

So the Mengele circus swings into action; patients will die; good doctors will be silenced and lost. It’s like progress in reverse but all (heavily) disguised as “science.”

THEY DON’T CARE. Mengele didn’t care.

Even so, it is shocking to learn what industrial scale control Big Pharma has over government bodies and institutions. We saw it in the USA, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Europe and the rest of the world. They do it with money, of course. The GMC is as bought-and-paid-for as the FDA, CDC, NIH, etc.

As well as being bankrolled by the subscriptions of doctors, the GMC is also financed by the Department of Health, AstraZeneca, Merck (as well as McDonald’s, PepsiCo, Coca Cola etc.) The GMC has become a tool of Big Government and Big Pharma.

Sadly, Sarah is not the only victim of this intellectual Nazism. Jean Monro, one of the greatest, was taken down. There are too many good doctors neutralized to list.

But Sarah is unrepentant and is still in there, fighting. David and Goliath becomes Sarah and the Juggernaut! She took her case to the High Court and lost, not because she did not present good evidence, but because the judge cherry-picked those parts that suited the inevitable outcome. She’s going to the Supreme Court and will surely lose again and for the same reason.

But she has to do that to be allowed access to the European Court of Human Rights (it is necessary for a plaintiff to have exhausted all due process in their own country).

Good luck Gurl. Knock their puny testicles off! Not that I supposed they have actually got any!

The FDA is busy meddling in the affairs of holistic health practitioners, trying to stop as much as possible of the grass roots indulgence in natural and traditional recipes that we all love. They cite “lack of scientific proof” as their objection. But you just wait till you see what I am going to reveal…

At the same time as attacking natural cures, they are not doing their real job; we all know that too. They toady up to Big Pharma and give them what they want, re-interpreting the rules and going easy on the proper demands and requirements.

But surely, in the end, a drug has to prove it has some value before being “approved”? Even if they covered up the side-effects and negative, there must be something concrete required?

Well, let me tell you that in the 9 years from 2013 to 2022 the FDA approved 429 drugs, most of which were authorized on the basis of wholly inadequate evidence that they worked as claimed. This is according to a database of government records set up to analyze this criminal defect in our protection!

In fact, according to Jeanne Lenzer and Shannon Brownlee, writing for The Lever, over those years:

• Seventy-three percent of drugs approved by the FDA did not meet the agency’s four foundational standards required to show they work as expected. 

• More than half of drug approvals were based on preliminary data rather than sound evidence that patients had fewer symptoms, improved function, or lived longer. 

• Fifty-five of the 429 drugs approved met only one of the four standards needed to show that a drug is safe and effective; 39 drugs met none of them.

Drug companies have been allowed to market hundreds of prescription drugs to doctors and sell them to unsuspecting patients despite glaringly inadequate evidence that they offer any benefit and in many cases amid clear signs that they pose a risk of serious, often irreparable harm.

These are just some of the findings of a two-year investigation by The Lever and the McGraw Center for Business Journalism into all 429 new drugs approved from 2013 through 2022. A team of four experts, three of whom are physicians and one a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard, evaluated the scientific studies cited by the agency in its approval decisions.¹

So what are these four basic standards of proof that the FDA supposedly demands? They are simple enough:

• Control group: Patients taking the drug were compared to a control group that was given a placebo or a comparator drug.

• Replication: At least two “well-controlled” trials showed the drug was effective.

• Blinding: Subjects in the studies and the doctors who cared for them don’t know which patients are on the drug and which are in the control group.

• Clinical endpoint: The studies measured the drug’s effect on patients’ survival or function rather than a surrogate measure.

Seems reasonable, just basic science. Yet these were not being upheld. Only 2.4% of the 123 cancer drugs approved from 2013 through 2022 met all four of the FDA’s basic scientific criteria. 2.4%! A shocking 29 drugs (23%) met none of these criteria!

Eighty-one percent of cancer drugs were approved based on preliminary evidence rather than data showing patients would live longer. Studies of cancer drugs approved on preliminary evidence have failed to show they improve survival in the vast majority of cases.

Surrogate Evidence

So what is surrogate evidence, referred to in the requirement for a clinical endpoint? It means showing you did something that is arguably useful but not actually proving the drug has any value to the patient ie. of no proven clinical value.

A good example is a vaccine, where manufacturers simply show that they produced a rise in antibodies against the pathogen. That’s a “surrogate” result. We really want to show that it stops people coming down with the disease!

But that’s not what happened with Gardasil. IT HAS NEVER BEEN SHOWN TO PREVENT YOUNG GIRLS GETTING CERVICAL CANCER. But among all the lies, cheating, corruption and meddling with statistics of which Merck was guilty, they did (just) manage to show it increased antibodies against the human papilloma virus (HPV).²

Another example of a surrogate result is with cancer drugs. Shrinkage of the tumor has become the gold standard of a drug deemed effective. But that really has no benefit in terms of quality of life, comfort and the most prized result of all: longer survival!

[Indeed, as I teach, half the tumor is your own immune cells in there fighting the cancer. Reducing the tumor by knocking off the T-cells would be a disaster, yet looks attractive as a surrogate result]

Negative Outcomes (Side-Effects)

If you are crafty like Big Pharma you can often try to blind the reviewers with surrogate outcomes and distract attention away from a lot of negative or even fatal side-effects being caused.

Be certain, drug manufacturers know all about side-effects, even deaths, produced by their products. Merck was well aware of the huge number of deaths being caused by their NSAID Vioxx. They hid the problem (oh yes, they did, and all has now been exposed), in order to protect their sales.

The penalty for killing in excess of 50,000 people? None. Nobody was indicted for a crime. The company was fined $321 million. That’s just chump change. A fine of $10 billion would barely hurt them or their profits.

Deferred Science

The biggest subterfuge of all was that the FDA adopted the position of “we’ll approve your drug for the time being but you need to come up with some science to prove it works, PDQ.” (PDQ British slang from the Raj days: pretty damned quick!) 

The resulting seismic shift from proving drugs work before they are approved to showing they work only after approval — if ever — has been quietly accomplished with virtually no awareness by doctors or the public.

On occasion, a pharmaceutical company did come up with retrospective science that showed their product had value. But most of the time, as you would expect, they simply failed to do so. And, also as you would expect, the FDA was pretty sluggish at withdrawing its approval even when the drug was shown to be worthless.

According to a 2022 analysis by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General, more than one-third of drugs approved on an accelerated pathway have never seen a confirmatory trial. When they did conduct the studies, regulators found companies took anywhere from a few months to 12 years to do so. This investigation found that confirmatory trials can take even longer — up to 30 years — and may not be performed at all. Even if they were, it was often not a clinical trial but more surrogate preliminaries!

This also, incidentally, makes a joke out of the defense by drug companies that they need to charge inordinate prices, to cover the costs of research. B*S*! They just slide a product past the all-too-compliant FDA and they can pay for “research”, such as it was, out of the profit from the bogus approved product!

Avastin was approved in 2008 for use against metastatic breast cancer. By 2010 sales had risen to $6.8 billion. But it was useless. One of the conditions imposed by the FDA was that the manufacturer, Genetech, conducted a study to prove the drug worked. A full two years later, Genetech finally came up with two studies which actually suggested the opposite: the drug did not help patients live longer.

In total, the company had conducted five clinical trials, none of which demonstrated that Avastin helped breast cancer patients live longer or with less disability. The new studies also documented the drug’s more serious side effects, which included blood clots, perforated intestines, stroke, heart problems, and kidney malfunction.

Eventually the FDA did withdraw its approval but against massive opposition from Genetech and various cancer advocacy groups (all funded by Big Pharma, of course).

One more example and I’m done: Copiktra, a cancer drug manufactured by Secura Bio Inc. was approved in 2018 for use in cases of leukemia and lymphoma. But it took 11 months off the average survival of patients. That’s bad.

But it was 6 years later before the FDA spoke out against it and announced that Copitra should not be used as first- or second-line treatment for certain types of leukemia and lymphoma “due to an increased risk of treatment-related mortality.”  I think that means it was killing people.

How many patients had their lives shortened in those 6 years, because of an “FDA approved” drug? 

What Is Success?

Even when cancer drugs do improve survival, the gains can be meager. A 2022 study by researchers at the National Cancer Institute found that the median [increased] survival time for 124 cancer medicines approved from 2003 through 2021 to treat solid tumors was just 2.8 months. The average cost of such drugs is more than $24,000 per month. 

In other words, after patients and their families spend financially crippling sums and go through side effects ranging from nausea to death, their outcomes are hardly better — and could be worse — than no treatment at all.

We’ve all known that Big Pharma and the FDA are engaged in an elaborate dance of deception, which doesn’t just put people at risk: IT KILLS. But just remember what I’ve written when you hear screams and cries that RFK jr. is destroying medicine and “people will die” as a result of what he’s doing!

We’ve got a minimum of 4 years to clean up the evil and he’s off to a good start in my view!

Trouble is, they grew rather impatient with the concept of deceased. People were being prepped for removal of essential organs, when the patient started showing signs of still being alive; of waking up even! This rather inconvenient occurrence led to organ transfer companies (yes, there are such entities) insisting that life support was removed anyway—in other words killing a reviving patient, so as to get on with the job.

They don’t want anyone to be alive, to recover. No joy or delight at life’s immeasurable resilience and determination. THEY JUST WANT THE MONEY. The profits. Obscene profits…

And you know what? A lot of these killing factories masquerade under the banner of “non-profit”. It’s a joke and I’m astonished that the federal government doesn’t look seriously into these scams (for so they are).

Here’s yet another example of attempted murder, in this week’s medical news…

A federal investigation found a Kentucky nonprofit pushed hospital workers toward surgery despite signs of revival in patients.

Four years ago, an unconscious Kentucky man—Anthony Thomas Hoover II—began to awaken as he was about to be removed from life support so his organs could be donated. Even though the man cried, pulled his legs to his chest and shook his head, officials representing Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates still tried to move forward.

They wanted him dead!

Now, a federal investigation has found that officials at Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates, a “nonprofit” in charge of coordinating organ donations in Kentucky, ignored signs of growing alertness not only in this case but also with dozens of other potential donors.

The investigation examined about 350 cases in Kentucky over the past four years in which plans to remove organs were ultimately canceled. It found that in 73 instances, officials should have considered stopping sooner because the patients had high or improving levels of consciousness, but they tried to bulldoze it through’ tried to get the patients killed, so they could reap their profits. What actual contempt for human life.

Mercifully, the surgeries didn’t actually happen, but multiple patients showed signs of pain or distress while being readied for the procedure. Yet the organizers refused to quit. Instead they put hospital staff under intolerable pressure to generate real death, so they could get on with their grizzly “harvesting” procedure! 

Some staff workers started muttering that this was euthanasia.

The federal investigation criticized Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates, which was coordinating donations in the state. Now called Network for Hope after a merger, it has said it always follows the rules and never removes organs until a hospital has declared a patient dead.

But this was clearly just a bald-faced lie. In fact the organization’s employees repeatedly pressured families to authorize donation, improperly took over cases from doctors and tried to push hospital staff to remove life support and allow for surgery, even if there were indications of growing awareness in patients.

At times it was not properly recognized by staff that hospital sedatives or illegal drugs could mask patients’ neurological condition, meaning they might be in better shape than they seemed. That didn’t deter the predators.

In December 2022, a 50-year-old overdose victim began stirring less than an hour after being taken off life support and started looking around. Yet the organ retrieval attempt was not immediately ended, nor was the patient given any explanation.

“The patient had no idea what was going on but was becoming more aware by the minute,” hospital records noted.

After 40 more minutes — when the patient’s organs would no longer qualify for donation — the attempt was called off, and he was moved to an intensive care unit. He later sat up and spoke with his family before dying three days later, the investigation found. Those extra three days are not to be dismissed; they were of great importance to the family, and the victim.

Overall, the official investigation flagged 103 cases as having “concerning features” and found problems were more likely to occur at rural hospitals. It noted more than half of transplants arranged by the Kentucky organization were from circulatory-death patients, above the national average.

Nationwide, officials recovered about 20,000 organs from this type of donor last year, nearly double the total in 2021, according to the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, which oversees the transplant system.

Federal regulators told the network last week that the Kentucky organization must increase training for staff and conduct neurological assessments on potential organ donors every 12 hours, among other changes.

On Thursday, Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates said it had received a report about the government investigation. “We will fully comply with all of their suggested recommendations,” it said in a statement.

The federal inquiry began last fall after a congressional committee heard testimony about the Kentucky man, Anthony Thomas Hoover II, who had an overdose in 2021. He was unresponsive for two days before his family agreed to donate his organs.

Over the next two days, the procurement organization moved toward surgery even as the patient’s neurological condition improved, the investigation found. During one exam, records show, he was “thrashing on the bed.” 

How did they deal with that inconvenient fact? The patient was sedated to prevent further motion!

The hospital staff “was extremely uncomfortable with the amount of reflexes patient is exhibiting,” case notes read. “Hospital staff kept stating that this was euthanasia.” A procurement organization coordinator assured them it was not. But of course he was just lying. It was a very deliberate attempt at euthanasia, to get at the money!

The hospital doctor refused to withdraw life support. Mr. Hoover eventually recovered. Now 36, he has lingering neurological injuries. Network for Hope did not respond to a request for comment on that case.

We know from interviews with The New York Times, two former employees of the procurement organization said higher-ups tried to pressure the doctor concerned to continue the retrieval attempt. “If it had not been for that physician, we absolutely 1,000 percent would have moved forward,” said one of them, Natasha Miller, who was in the room. Three other former Kentucky employees said they had seen similar cases.

The Kentucky attorney general’s office also launched an investigation into Mr. Hoover’s case. On Thursday, the office said the review was ongoing. Heads will roll? I doubt it. Call me cynical but I have no faith in the compassion of the US medical “industry.”

Just bear stories like this in mind if you are ever faced with the dilemma of a loved one in a coma and whether to take them off life support and donate their organs. Forget the story you are “Helping someone else to live.” They have their own health karma. You are furthering the cause of exploiting life for financial gain.

Meanwhile, your loved one might wake up and ask what’s going on!

Final Note: Vivien wants me to tell you to be careful when handling official declarations. Take change-of-address forms, for example: they often have a box to tick at the bottom, “Do you want to be an organ donor.” Think twice before ticking it!
