										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><b>Trusted Vaccine Guidance Has Collapsed — Along With the Rule of Law</b></span></h2>
<h2 style="padding-left: 40px;"><b>— Government independence, transparency, and legal integrity must be restored…</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Blare the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Medpage Today</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> headlines (October 4</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">). Say what? The government health agencies never had the least shred of trust, there was never independence, transparency or integrity.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“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) </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Food Allergy Plan</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Next they claim missing the chicken pox vaccine “opens the door to resurgent chickenpox and later shingles &#8212; 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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A great book to read on this topic would be </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Forbidden Facts: Government Deceit and Suppression About Brain Damage from Childhood Vaccines</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 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.</span></p>
<p>It costs just $5 and is worth every penny. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Forbidden-Facts-Government-Suppression-Childhood/dp/1510785957" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Download it as a Kindle book here</a>.</p>
<p><a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/gavin-de-becker.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class=" td-modal-image aligncenter wp-image-24017 " src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/gavin-de-becker.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="431" srcset="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/gavin-de-becker.jpg 953w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/gavin-de-becker-292x300.jpg 292w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/gavin-de-becker-768x789.jpg 768w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/gavin-de-becker-696x715.jpg 696w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/gavin-de-becker-409x420.jpg 409w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/gavin-de-becker-356x364.jpg 356w" sizes="(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #808080;">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. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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]:</span></p>
<p id="link01"><b>Pfizer:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 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. </span></p>
<p><b>Johnson &amp; Johnson: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">$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. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Earlier in the book, de Becker covered the billions J &amp; 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. </span></p>
<p><b>GlaxoSmithKline:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> $3 billion in penalties for fraud and failure to report safety data. Glaxo apologized and moved on. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p>
<p><b>Merck:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 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. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Hey, nobody’s perfect,” says de Becker!</span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><b>And guess what? Vioxx is now back on the market.</b></span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> That’s proof the FDA is criminally in cahoots with Big Pharma</span>.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 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!</span></p>
<p><b>Eli Lilly:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 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. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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%.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">THE future</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. The ONLY future.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #808080;">HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy jr. has pledged to find the true cause of autism.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This has to be stopped. Pray to God it is. </span></p>
<p>To your health,</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A handful of US states have passed legislation allowing ivermectin to be sold and purchased over-the-counter (OTC) &#8212; and other state legislatures have their sights set on doing the same, we are told by Rachael Robertson, Enterprise &amp; Investigative Writer for MedPage Today (July 9, 2025).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It intrigued me enough to go on reading the article. But Ms. Robertson soon turned sour. She’s not an enterprising journalist at all, just your average hack, quoting orthodox baloney, masquerading as science. “During the pandemic, rampant misinformation drew attention to the antiparasitic as a treatment for COVID, though research continues to show it is not effective against the disease.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">First of all, there is NO continuing research. They have tried to suppress ivermectin. Orthodox doctors go banging on about “science” and adhering to the science. BUT THEY DON’T WANT THE SCIENCE. They just want their ignorant prejudices. Of course it’s all orchestrated by Big Pharma, which is where Ms. Robertson gets her “research” results.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It&#8217;s laughable, as is her ignorant and judgmental writing.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you take the trouble to search on Google for this string: “ivermectin successful in uttar pradesh covid” you’ll be astonished at what comes up! I knew that the state of Uttar Pradesh in India had used ivermectin to remarkably good effect… It works! The endless parade of drivel that Ms. Robertson relies on keeps saying “It’s proven not to work”! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But it’s just lies, fostered by Big Pharma. In fact professor Surya Kant, Head Department of Respiratory Medicine, at King George Medical University, Lucknow said the opposite. </span></p>
<p><a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/dr_surya_kant.jpg"><img decoding="async" class=" td-modal-image aligncenter wp-image-23744" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/dr_surya_kant.jpg" alt="" width="548" height="404" srcset="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/dr_surya_kant.jpg 728w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/dr_surya_kant-300x221.jpg 300w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/dr_surya_kant-696x513.jpg 696w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/dr_surya_kant-569x420.jpg 569w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/dr_surya_kant-80x60.jpg 80w" sizes="(max-width: 548px) 100vw, 548px" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There are newer drugs on the horizon which have been recommended though with very limited experience &amp; devoid of enough data about safety and efficacy. These newer options are neither easily available nor affordable… We have revisited some of the old molecules and have found ivermectin, originally introduced as an antihelminthic [killing worms] to be an effective, safe and affordable therapeutic option in Indian settings for prevention and treatment of COVID-19.”<sup>1</sup></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He’s got a few more credentials than Ms. Robertson, namely:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">MBBS, MD (Gold Medalist), D.Sc. (Honoris Causa) FCCP (U.S.A.), FACP (USA), FRCP (London), FRCP (Glasgow), FAPSR, FGAPIO, FISEB, FAMS, FIAMS, FNCCP, FCAI, FIMSA, FGSI, FIAB, FICS, FUPDA, FIACM, FICP, FCGP, FISC, FUAPMI, FISH. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The journalist? Well she’s just got a measly bachelor’s! Haha!</span></p>
<p id="link01"><span style="font-weight: 400;">In October 2021, SunSentinel Opinion (congressman Neil Dunn’s own website) had this to say:</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Data continues to mount demonstrating ivermectin’s efficacy against COVID-19. It is being deployed as part of the strategy to fight the pandemic in countries around the world, including Mexico, Peru and two large states in Argentina.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">But even as the body of evidence in other countries grows, the opposition to not only using ivermectin but even discussing it in America multiplies.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">To be clear, when I refer to the potential benefits of ivermectin, I am only suggesting that human-use ivermectin be considered. There has been talk of “horse paste” and purchasing ivermectin from farm stores. I unequivocally do not recommend humans use a medicine that is prepared and sold for use in animals.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Further, the decision to use any treatment for COVID-19 should be made after consultation with a trusted medical professional. If prescribed by a licensed and trusted medical professional, any medication should only be used specifically as prescribed.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, the mere mention of ivermectin can get you banned from major social media platforms. Evolutionary biologist Bret Weinstein’s podcast was yanked from YouTube for discussing the drug. Federal authorities are arrayed against it. And the American Medical Association called for the “immediate end” of any use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19 patients with no research to support their stance…</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thousands of physicians working on the front lines of this pandemic — honest, intelligent, caring professionals working tirelessly to care for patients with COVID-19 — want the option of administering ivermectin. Yet they are widely discouraged, even demonized, by some public health professionals and even President Biden, who obliquely tarred physicians using ivermectin as “conspiracy theorists” and implied they are not “real doctors.”</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It seems redundant to say it but THIS IS NOT SCIENCE AT WORK, it’s arrogant prejudice and counter-science by </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">ad hominems</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and opinion.</span></p>
<h2><b>Review Of Evidence</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2021 a goodly summary of the science to date, covering the effectiveness of ivermectin, was published in the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">American Journal of Therapeutics</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. One of the authors was no other than Dr. Paul Marik, a great champion of REAL science in the holistic arena. He did a good paper on the value of high-dose vitamin C in saving lives of patients with sepsis (septicemia). He was subsequently ousted from his post, attacked and vilified by our dear “proper” doctors, who don’t want patient’s lives saved; they just want huge pharmaceutical expenses and then rounding it off by letting the patients die.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The authors of the AJT paper set up their study by writing:</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Recently, evidence has emerged that the oral antiparasitic agent ivermectin exhibits numerous antiviral and anti-inflammatory mechanisms with trial results reporting significant outcome benefits. Given some have not passed peer review, several expert groups including Unitaid/World Health Organization have undertaken a systematic global effort to contact all active trial investigators to rapidly gather the data needed to grade and perform meta-analyses.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meantime, the authors took up the story as they saw it…</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The data they reviewed was “published peer-reviewed studies, manuscripts posted to preprint servers, expert meta-analyses, and numerous epidemiological analyses of regions with ivermectin distribution campaigns.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And they added, “A large majority of randomized and observational controlled trials of ivermectin are reporting repeated, large magnitude improvements in clinical outcomes.”</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><sup>2</sup></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nothing wrong so far; in fact most drugs get to the market with less to commend them. But of course no doctor can say that, otherwise they would be ostracized and probably de-licensed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What followed was column after column of the following:</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">• Since 2012, multiple in vitro studies have demonstrated that Ivermectin inhibits the replication of many viruses, including influenza, Zika, Dengue, and others.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">• Ivermectin inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication and binding to host tissue through several observed and proposed mechanisms.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">• Ivermectin has potent anti-inflammatory properties with in vitro data demonstrating profound inhibition of both cytokine production and transcription of nuclear factor-</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">?</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">B (NF-</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">?</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">B), the most potent mediator of inflammation.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">• Ivermectin significantly diminishes viral load and protects against organ damage in multiple animal models when infected with SARS-CoV-2 or similar coronaviruses.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">• Ivermectin prevents transmission and development of COVID-19 disease in those exposed to infected patients.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">• Ivermectin hastens recovery and prevents deterioration in patients with mild to moderate disease treated early after symptoms.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">• Ivermectin hastens recovery and avoidance of ICU admission and death in hospitalized patients.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">• Ivermectin reduces mortality in critically ill patients with COVID-19.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">• Ivermectin leads to temporally associated reductions in case fatality rates in regions after ivermectin distribution campaigns.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">• The safety, availability, and cost of ivermectin are nearly unparalleled given its low incidence of important drug interactions along with only mild and rare side effects observed in almost 40 years of use and billions of doses administered.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">• The World Health Organization has long included ivermectin on its “List of Essential Medicines.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The authors cite 84 quality references to validate these claims!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition, there were numerous specific trials reported akin to this one:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">An RCT from Iran found a dramatic reduction in mortality with ivermectin use. Among multiple ivermectin treatment arms (different ivermectin dosing strategies were used in the intervention arms), the average mortality was reported as 3.3%, whereas the average mortality within the standard care and placebo arms was 18.8%; 6 times higher!</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><sup>3</sup></span></p>
<h2><b>Long COVID</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">SARS-Cov-2, whether an artificially enhanced virus or not, was a pretty brutal beast and was capable of causing lasting debilitation, a condition called “long COVID”. It is generally considered as a postviral syndrome consisting of a chronic and sometimes disabling constellation of symptoms which include, in order: fatigue, shortness of breath, joint pains, and chest pain. Many patients describe their most disabling symptom as impaired memory and concentration, often with extreme fatigue, described as “brain fog,” and is highly suggestive of the condition myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, a condition well reported to begin after viral infections, in particular with Epstein–Barr virus.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I wrote about post-viral syndrome at length by the way, in my bursting-with-facts book on viruses and how to treat them called <strong><a href="https://virusblitz.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VIRUS BLITZ.</a></strong></span></p>
<p><a href="https://virusblitz.com/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" td-modal-image  aligncenter wp-image-23745" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Virus-Blitz-3D-1-72-dpi.png" alt="" width="323" height="401" srcset="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Virus-Blitz-3D-1-72-dpi.png 436w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Virus-Blitz-3D-1-72-dpi-242x300.png 242w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Virus-Blitz-3D-1-72-dpi-338x420.png 338w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2020, a manuscript by Aguirre-Chang et al from the National University of San Marcos in Peru reported on their experience with ivermectin in long-haul patients. They treated 33 patients who were between 4 and 12 weeks from the onset of symptoms with escalating doses of ivermectin; 0.2 mg/kg for 2 days if mild and 0.4 mg/kg for 2 days if moderate, with doses extended if symptoms persisted. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">They found that in 87.9% of the patients, resolution of all symptoms was observed after 2 doses</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> with an additional 7% reporting complete resolution after additional doses. That’s 94% recovery with this proven-not-to-work ivermectin!</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><sup>4</sup></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Big Pharma can only DREAM of results such as these. Their science, such as it is, is pitiful and they usually have to falsify the results to show any benefit. But ivermectin has proved its worth, over and over and over.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Exciting reading, huh? And all buried under the trope “ivermectin is just for worming horses”!</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Say what? We all know, don’t we, that drugs and medicines, even foodstuffs, have to be approved by the FDA as right and proper. Well, that’s not really true!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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…</span></p>
<p><a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/FDA-vs-Natural-Medicine-scaled.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" td-modal-image aligncenter wp-image-23627" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/FDA-vs-Natural-Medicine-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="591" height="395" srcset="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/FDA-vs-Natural-Medicine-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/FDA-vs-Natural-Medicine-300x200.jpg 300w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/FDA-vs-Natural-Medicine-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/FDA-vs-Natural-Medicine-768x513.jpg 768w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/FDA-vs-Natural-Medicine-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/FDA-vs-Natural-Medicine-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/FDA-vs-Natural-Medicine-696x465.jpg 696w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/FDA-vs-Natural-Medicine-1068x713.jpg 1068w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/FDA-vs-Natural-Medicine-1920x1281.jpg 1920w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/FDA-vs-Natural-Medicine-629x420.jpg 629w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 591px) 100vw, 591px" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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. </span><b>This is according to a database of government records set up to analyze this criminal defect in our protection!</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In fact, according to Jeanne Lenzer and Shannon Brownlee, writing for The Lever, over those years:</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-23631 aligncenter" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/fda-drug-approlval-stats.jpg" alt="" width="427" height="427" srcset="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/fda-drug-approlval-stats.jpg 1024w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/fda-drug-approlval-stats-300x300.jpg 300w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/fda-drug-approlval-stats-160x160.jpg 160w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/fda-drug-approlval-stats-768x768.jpg 768w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/fda-drug-approlval-stats-696x696.jpg 696w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/fda-drug-approlval-stats-420x420.jpg 420w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 427px) 100vw, 427px" /></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">• 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. </span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">• 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. </span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">• Fifty-five of the 429 drugs approved met only one of the four standards needed to show that a drug is safe and effective; </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">39 drugs met none of them.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So what are these four basic standards of proof that the FDA supposedly demands? They are simple enough:</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">• Control group: Patients taking the drug were compared to a control group that was given a placebo or a comparator drug.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">• Replication: At least two “well-controlled” trials showed the drug was effective.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">• 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.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">• Clinical endpoint: The studies measured the drug’s effect on patients’ survival or function rather than a surrogate measure.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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%! </span><b>A shocking 29 drugs (23%) met none of these criteria!</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p>
<h2 id="link01"><b>Surrogate Evidence</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[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]</span></p>
<h2><b>Negative Outcomes (Side-Effects)</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p>
<h2><b>Deferred Science</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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!) </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The resulting seismic shift from proving drugs work </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">before </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">they are approved to showing they work only </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">after </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">approval — if ever — has been quietly accomplished with virtually no awareness by doctors or the public.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">How many patients had their lives shortened in those 6 years, because of an “FDA approved” drug? </span></p>
<h2><b>What Is Success?</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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. </span></p>
<p><a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/sick-patient-reading-leaflet-information-of-medica-2025-02-20-06-17-46-utc-scaled.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" td-modal-image aligncenter wp-image-23628 " src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/sick-patient-reading-leaflet-information-of-medica-2025-02-20-06-17-46-utc-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="345" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">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!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We’ve got a minimum of 4 years to clean up the evil and he’s off to a good start in my view!</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you are sick to the core with the money grabbing antics of Big Pharma and their corrupt government toadies (I am), then you’ll probably enjoy a bit of light relief! No, not comedy, just some real caring people, doing real work, in the real world, trying to make a difference, not just get rich at the expense of suffering patients.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It may be a little bit misguided but it seems to me ALL HEART. A couple of women in Brazil, bless ‘em, are trying to replicate COVID mRNA vaccines on the cheap, so that even poor countries can benefit.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[You may recall arch-creep <a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/doctor-bill-gates-is-now-president-of-planet-earth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bill Gates</a> refusing vaccines to poorer countries, because he didn’t get the dollars. It was a “pay me or die” stance. Sums him up to a Satanic-T]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thing is, I’m not kidding. This heart-warming story broke from NPR (National Public Radio), Sept 9</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">th</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, 2024. A couple of longtime BFs (best friends, I believe, in social media speak) actually launched an audacious attempt to break the Big Pharma monopoly on vaccines, by creating their own!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Patricia Neves and Ana Paula Ano Bom had been dismayed at Moderna and Pfizer’s unwillingness to share their know-how during the pandemic, leaving people in low- and middle-income countries like Brazil waiting to get the supposedly life-saving vaccines for months after they’d been made widely available in wealthy countries.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So they decided to invent their own version of an mRNA vaccine against COVID, then offer up the patent and the manufacturing process to vaccine makers around the world, essentially for free.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I find very muddled thinking here… As if the Big Boys would just buy the ladies’ patents cheaply and then offer the gift to the world for free. I think a more likely scenario is they would buy up their patents and then put them on the shelf, just to prevent anyone bypassing the extremely lucrative money game. Indeed, I would worry for their safety, that Big Pharma might even just pay a few dollars to have them assassinated; the cost of human life is very cheap in Brazil.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Albert Bourla, the Pfizer chief, might be very tempted, to protect his obscene $50 million “bonus” payout.</span></p>
<h2><b>Beyond COVID</b></h2>
<p>I&#8217;m not saying a support or believe in the COVID mRNA shot. Of course I don&#8217;t. This is not a story about fake COVID science. It&#8217;s a story or two women taking on the might of Pfizer and Moderna and winning!</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The two wonderful, if naïve, ladies planned to target plenty of other viruses beyond COVID. As you know, these vaccines work by inserting a recipe into the body — the mRNA strand — that teaches cells to build a piece of the targeted virus that the body’s immune system gears up to attack. That way when a person is infected with the actual virus, the body is ready for it. </span></p>
<p id="link01"><span style="font-weight: 400;">So Neves and Ano Bom’s vision was to essentially build their mRNA COVID vaccine as a plug-and-play system that could be quickly adapted to carry mRNA strands against all sorts of other disease threats as they emerged around the world.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is not as absurd as it sounds. Neves, an immunologist, originally conceived of the idea because before the pandemic she’d been working with mRNA as part of a project to create a vaccine-like treatment for breast cancer. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ano Bom is a biochemist who works at the same institution as Neves — the Bio-Manguinhos Fiocruz Foundation, which is Brazil’s premier public agency for vaccine research and development. Ano Bom had already gained expertise working on an encapsulation process for the breast cancer effort. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So they packed some pretty formidable skills.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But best of all, the two women — who have been close since they attended college together two decades ago — share an unusual zest for going after goals even scientists at their own institution initially considered unrealistic.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Yeah,&#8221; said Ano Bom at the time, &#8220;We are innovative and — I don&#8217;t know — maybe crazy.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You gotta love those gals!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" td-modal-image aligncenter wp-image-21643 " src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/antidote-image.png" alt="" width="548" height="412" srcset="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/antidote-image.png 1100w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/antidote-image-300x226.png 300w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/antidote-image-1024x770.png 1024w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/antidote-image-768x577.png 768w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/antidote-image-696x523.png 696w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/antidote-image-1068x803.png 1068w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/antidote-image-559x420.png 559w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/antidote-image-80x60.png 80w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/antidote-image-265x198.png 265w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 548px) 100vw, 548px" /><span style="color: #808080;">Patricia Neves (left) and Ana Paula Ano Bom take a break at the institute in Rio de Janeiro where they work. The two scientists say they&#8217;ve been inseparable since they met in college. Now their friendship has made it possible to launch a remarkable partnership to make mRNA vaccines accessible to the world.</span></span></p>
<h2><b>The Big Problem</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The big problem facing their effort (I almost wrote “hairbrained idea”) was to figure out how to devise a tiny fat (lipid) particle to encase the mRNA so that it remains intact once inserted into the body. But, as it happened, Neves had an ideal partner for that challenge in her pal Ano Bom.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the end, they used an encapsulation process that was entirely their own invention and it worked.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Our strategy was to escape as much as possible the [existing] patents,” notes Neves. “We designed our elements [to be] different from the ones that Moderna and Pfizer are using.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Remarkably (I think) the WHO decided to back them. And… presto… in mouse studies the Brazil team’s vaccine has been shown “100% effective” against COVID. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They also cleared another hurdle: setting up a manufacturing facility in Brazil that meets the rigorous safety standards needed to produce vaccine doses at the scale required for the next phase of development. It’s the first facility of its kind in Latin America, says Neves.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Next month the team will begin a final round of safety studies in animals. If all goes well, by the middle of next year they’ll launch clinical trials in people.</span></p>
<h2><b>Other Diseases</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meanwhile, Brazil’s Ministry of Health has expanded the team’s mission—and funding—to create mRNA vaccines against multiple other diseases.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These pathogens include leishmaniasis, Oropouche (even I had to look that one up!), mPox and RSV—and their candidate mRNA vaccine against RSV is already in animal studies. They’re also researching ways to use the technology they’ve developed in various therapies.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We started as four people and a dream,” says Neves, referring to herself, Ano Bom, a third colleague who contributed early work and Sotiris Missailidis, the then-head of research and development at their agency. According to Neves, “Missailidis was the person who believed in us since the beginning,” scraping together a few tens of thousands of dollars for the team to launch back when higher ups were dismissing their proposal as essentially ludicrous.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A few $10,000s for research? It makes a joke out of the pharmaceutical industry’s claim they need $billions for research. I mean, why not take a few $100s of millions out of their profits, if they really needed it? They would hardly miss it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Of course it’s just a lie, to justify their gouging prices.</span></p>
<h2><b>Awards</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The womens’ work has also gained increasing international recognition. Unlike the pharmaceutical companies, Neves and Ano Bom are not working for profit—and that prompted the Argentina-based Ibero American Society of Neonatology (SIBEN) to honor them with a specially created “Altruism Award for the Improvement of World Health.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But the two also stress that the science that has led to all this has not been easy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Oh my God!” says Neves as both she and Ano Bom erupt in laughter, “It’s been hard work. A lot, a lot of hard work!”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I personally never imagined we would achieve what we achieved,” says Neves. “I still don’t believe it.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“In the beginning of this journey, we told each other we will never fight over the work.” Not only have they kept that vow, she says, they’ve grown closer — taking turns being the one who gets discouraged and the one who bucks the other up.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I think our friendship, it will be forever,” says Ana Paula Ano Bom. “We’re casca de bala!” — a Brazilian (Portuguese) expression that literally translates as the candy and the wrapper. They also say their close bond is key to their success in the lab.</span></p>
<p><b>I hope you will agree: a wonderful story of humanity and triumph, while Big Pharma continues its mining of human suffering for monetary gain.</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ha!</span></p>
<p>To Your Good Health,<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When the current Pope, Francis, was elected he seemed like a good guy. There was a hint of fresh air and forward thinking in the Papacy. It didn’t last. This overblown Italian potentate started rounding on people with doubts about the COVID vaccine in 2021.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a startling video message (Aug 18</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, 2021), Pope Francis joined his voice to those of Bishops across North and South America to urge people to get jabbed against COVID-19. He even praised the work of researchers and scientists in producing safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" td-modal-image aligncenter wp-image-21279 " src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/pope-march-2024.jpg" alt="" width="515" height="318" srcset="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/pope-march-2024.jpg 810w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/pope-march-2024-300x185.jpg 300w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/pope-march-2024-768x474.jpg 768w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/pope-march-2024-696x430.jpg 696w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/pope-march-2024-680x420.jpg 680w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/pope-march-2024-356x220.jpg 356w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 515px) 100vw, 515px" /><span style="color: #808080;">Pope Francis, God’s Appointed Health Minister on Earth?</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">How did he know it was “safe and effective”? God whispered in his ear? (I doubt it). Glorying in his own power base? Quite likely; every chicken-poop politician did the same. Abuse of power? Of course! What have medical treatments and science have to do with “Christ’s Vicar on Earth”? He knows NOTHING about medicine. His job is supposedly pastoral support for the faithful and to keep them focused on the Almighty, not pushing untried drug therapy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But he wasn’t doing his own job. He was working as PR consultant for Pfizer and the rest. In other words, a somehow-corrupted slimy front man for Big Pharma. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Thanks to God’s grace and to the work of many, we now have vaccines to protect us from COVID-19,” the Pope said in the video. All those scientists who cast doubts on his Holiness’s words, go to Hell I suppose (literally). No room for dissenting science in the Roman Catholic church (as ever, over the centuries).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In January 2021, Francis and Pope Benedict XVI were among the first to receive COVID injections, with Pfizer supplying the Holy See with its injections. Both men subsequently received boosters of the injection in the months following. But what were they ACTUALLY injected with? It’s smart to be suspicious they got the “safe” stuff!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;When the first supplies arrived at the Vatican, I scheduled my vaccination immediately,” said Francis. “Later I got the boosters as well, and, thanks be to God, I have not caught the virus.&#8221; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yes, well, I and uncountable others have not had the vaccine and we have not had COVID either (not even a sniffle!)</span></p>
<h2 id="link01"><b>Vaccination Is “An Act Of Love”</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This crackpot Pope went on to say that getting a COVID jab is an “act of love.” What? Setting your family up for death or infirmity by administering a completely untried and untested-for-safety vaccine (which, it emerged, killed millions) is an act of love? You clown! Who put you up to being the stooge for the army of greedy, abusive, criminal and destructive perverts in medical and pharmaceutical commerce?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Helping others do the same [get the vaccine], he said, is also an act of love. “Love for oneself, love for our families and friends, and love for all peoples. Love is also social and political.” What exactly is “political love”? I have no idea. It sounds like an oxymoron.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pope Francis then prayed to God that “each one of us can make his or her own small gesture of love.” It’s like communist “freedom”: you are completely free to vote or act any way you choose, provided you think and act the way the Communist Party tells you to!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ah, but here’s a clue to what’s going on. Popey (bit like Popeye, haha!) was chicken-yeller scared. He passed a Vatican mandate that everyone around him had to be vaccinated, removing the option to test &#8220;negative&#8221; for the virus, and allowing only proof of recovery from the virus as an alternative to the injection. As late as January 2023, COVID shots were still required for reporters wishing to join the Pope on papal journeys—a mandate which expired only in April of 2023.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2024, he&#8217;s still mouthing off, issuing fresh condemnation of critics of COVID-19 injections, saying that opposition to the shots &#8220;distressed&#8221; him since &#8220;being against the antidote is an almost suicidal act of denial.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I don’t think he has even read any science. Since when is a vaccine an antidote? And does this pontiff not get there are MILLIONS of people around the world who will regret, to their dying day, that they committed this “act of love”?</span></p>
<h2><b>Hypocrisy</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’ve often thought that the words </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pope </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">and </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">hypocrisy </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">go hand in hand, though like the world at large, I somewhat loved Pope John 23</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><sup>rd</sup></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, even though I’m not a Christian.*</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s the hypocrisy: Pfizer, the main player in the COVID war against humanity, produces abortion pills! The Vatican has always condemned abortion. But it’s worse than that: manufacture of COVID-19 injections involves testing using the HEK 293 cell line, which is derived from kidney tissue taken from a healthy baby who was aborted in the Netherlands in the 1970s. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That ethical conundrum apparently didn’t bother the old goat: Francis secretly met twice with Pfizer CEO Francis Bourla during 2021, with Bourla also invited to speak at a Vatican-hosted health conference.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why in secret? Does he know that Bourla is one of the greatest enemies of Humankind the 21</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><sup>st</sup></span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> century has so far produced and that he was hobnobbing with The Devil? I doubt it. I don’t think he knows much, actually, reading his pronouncements. But ignorant fools are dangerous…</span></p>
<h2><b>Hitting Out At Colleagues</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Popey also made a thinly-veiled condemnation of Cardinal Raymond Burke, who voiced strong opposition to the injections.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;There were even a few anti-vaxxers among the bishops: some came close to death,&#8221; he stated, echoing a veiled dig he made at the American cardinal in the 2021 video, who fell ill, supposedly with COVID.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Particularly during the height of <a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/roll-your-own-data-and-covid-science/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">COVID-19</a> related restrictions, Francis regularly pushed the &#8220;moral obligation&#8221; of taking an abortion-tainted jab as being an &#8220;act of love.&#8221; As early as late summer 2020, he suggested that &#8220;everyone&#8221; must take the COVID-19 vaccine. &#8220;I believe that, ethically, everyone should take the vaccine,&#8221; he said. And added &#8220;it must be done.&#8221; I thought God was the only entity to issue mandates? (10 of them!)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But that does not assuage colleagues who are deeply ethical and concerned: Cardinal Burke stated in May 2020 that &#8220;[I]t is never morally justified to develop a vaccine through the use of cell lines of aborted fetuses&#8221; and that the thought of it being injected into one&#8217;s body is &#8220;rightly abhorrent.&#8221; He noted also that such a vaccination may not be imposed &#8220;in a totalitarian manner&#8221; on citizens.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Similar criticisms of the injections have also been repeatedly issued by prelates such as Bishop Athanasius Schneider. In a seminal intervention of December 12, 2020, Bishop Athanasius Schneider—along with co-signers Cardinal Janis</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">?</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pujats, Bishop Joseph Strickland, and Archbishops Tomash</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">?</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Peta and Jan Pawel Lenga—expressed their strong conviction that any use of a vaccine tainted with the &#8220;unspeakable crime&#8221; of abortion, under any circumstances, &#8220;cannot be acceptable for Catholics.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Not what your boss says, boys!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From the start, numerous studies and many thousands of scientists and leading health professionals, including Nobel Prize winners, and medics have testified to the unprecedented level of injuries and deaths, following and resulting from the COVID injections. The latest conservative estimate is that </span><b>over 17 million worldwide died from receiving the injec</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">tions making this the worst man-caused medical catastrophe in history.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As of February 23, 2024, the U.S. Federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) reports 37,231 deaths, 214,906 hospitalizations, 21,524 heart attacks, and 28,214 myocarditis and pericarditis case, among other ailments. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">VAERS reports are technically unconfirmed. But U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) researchers have at last recognized a &#8220;high verification rate of reports of myocarditis to VAERS after mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination,&#8221; leading to the conclusion that &#8220;under-reporting is more likely&#8221; than overreporting. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is known that VAERS gets less than 1% of adverse events. That would be 3.7 million deaths in the USA alone.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">An April 2022 study out of Israel indicates that COVID infection itself cannot fully account for the myocarditis numbers, despite common insistence to the contrary. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Set all this suffering against the claim that there were only 7 million UN-massaged deaths**, and only about 17 million deliberately exaggerated figures for mortality, and you will see why one of your favorite MDs is horrified at this stupid and unnecessary Papal intervention.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s start with a nod to my Super-Chef son, Magnus, in Dubai. Thanks to all who recently voted his school meals tops, his company </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Food Nation</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, actually won the annual assessment, hands down. He is officially the Best of All Arabia AGAIN in his category (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Arabian Best of Best Award</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here he is, looking very dapper, and receiving his award!</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What I really like to boast is that he was on the platform for this year’s COP.* Magnus shared the honors with King Charles III. But he got more speaking time than the King! Haha!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[*The 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference or Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC, more commonly known as COP28, was the 28th United Nations Climate Change conference, held from 30 November until 12 December at Expo City, Dubai, United Arab Emirates- </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wikipedia</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">].</span></p>
<p><b>OK, down to business…</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As you know, I have a summer home in France. The French have some funny ways, to say the least, BUT one shining light is that every year they produce a list of junk pharma drugs that are “more dangerous than useful”.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If only every country had such a list!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trouble is, the drugs are still available in France; just deprecated. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 2024 list (105 drugs) includes a cough medicine and an antibiotic. Each year for the past 12 years, the specialist medical review </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Prescrire</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> has published an updated list of medicines whose serious side-effects are considered to be too risky or severe in comparison to the treatment they are intended to provide.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">People are warned to avoid the medicines on the list, and doctors are advised to find alternatives when prescribing.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However 88 out of the 105 drugs are still available and can be legally prescribed. So<a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/fda-rewriting-the-facts-to-suit-big-pharma/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Big Pharma</a> scamming and lazy doctors are preventing the door being completely closed on this dangerous junk.</span></p>
<h2 id="link01"><b>The most commonly used drugs on this year’s list include:</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Moxifloxacin (sold under brands including Izilox). An antibiotic. This is “no more effective than other [antibiotics]”, the review said, but offers a greater risk of acute liver failure and heart problems.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oxomemazine (Toplexil or other). A cough reliever. This “exposes patients to disproportionate adverse effects”, Prescrire said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aceclofenac (Cartrex or other) and diclofenac (Voltarene or other). Oral treatments for rheumatological conditions, but increase the risk of cardiovascular side effects including heart attack and heart failure.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alzheimer&#8217;s disease treatments, including donepezil (Aricept), galantamine (Reminyl) and rivastigmine (Exelon). Most “have minimal and transient efficacy”, the review said, with disproportionate side effects. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I absolutely applaud this criticism. Dementia sufferer’s are being sold worthless garbage, on the understanding it is the “official” treatment and has successful science behind it. It is neither; just another Big Pharma heist, through lies, false labelling and false science.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">None of these dementia treatments have been shown to be effective in slowing the progression of the illness, the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Prescrire </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">review added, but they are “associated with serious, sometimes fatal, side effects”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This year’s list also warns against a new immunosuppressant product named ‘teriflunomide’ (sold under brands including Aubagio), which is widely used to treat multiple sclerosis. According to Wiki, Teriflunomide was investigated in the Phase III clinical trial TEMSO as a medication for multiple sclerosis. The study was completed in July 2010. 2-year results were positive.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What do they mean by positive? If you believe this assessment, then I have bought land on the dark side of the moon and am farming up there most weekends. For a start, to claim the outcomes were “positive”, you have to ignore all the deaths, crippling and downside, which Big Pharma is very skilled at hiding.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Also, they are happy to produce a 2% improvement in a condition, lasting only a week, to call it a positive outcomes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other medicines on the list include treatments for a runny nose, cough, and sore throat. For these relatively less-serious conditions, the risk of side effects is considered to be far too high to justify the use of the drug.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These include decongestants, including Actifed Rhume, Dolirhume, Humex Rhume, Nurofen Rhume, and Rhinadvil. These contain a vasoconstrictor that is intended to improve the sensation of a blocked nose, but they can also cause a small but significant risk of heart attack (myocardial infarction) or stroke. The risk increases with high doses and long-term treatment.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So when the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Prescrire</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> warns of the unwanted risk factors of anti-inflammatories like Ibuprofen, take a look at what they mean (this side-effects list is from the Mayo Clinic website (</span><a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/ibuprofen-oral-route/side-effects/drg-20070602"><span style="font-weight: 400;">https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/ibuprofen-oral-route/side-effects/drg-20070602</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">):</span></p>

Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:</span></p>
<h2><b>More common</b></h2>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">1. Continuing ringing or buzzing or other unexplained noise in ears</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">2. hearing loss</span></p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">10. mental depression</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">11. paranoia</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">12. quick to react or overreact</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">13. rapidly changing moods</span></p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">20. trouble sleeping</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">OK, just a boring list. But you get the point, I hope. A lot of OTC products are, frankly, DANGEROUS. Pill-poppers for example will go to town on Tylenol (paracetamol) believing it is quite safe, especially for children. It has emerged as one of the most disastrous pain killers available, short of opiates. It probably causes autism (routinely used for post-vaccination fevers); serious psychiatric side-effects, including dulled emotional responses to both positive and negative stimuli; it depletes glutathione; and it is very liver toxic. In the US alone, each year acetaminophen causes over 100,000 calls to poison control centers; 50,000 emergency room visits, 26,000 hospitalizations, and more than 450 deaths from liver failure. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Worst of all, Tylenol is now associated with Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a rare but severe, and sometimes fatal skin reactions even at recommended dosages.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s time this drug was removed permanently. But of course the FDA won’t do that, because Big Pharma (who runs the FDA), won’t let them.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yes, another rant! Not sorry!</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yet further darkening of the landscape. The Tech Giants, in collusion with Big Pharma, are turning out the lights, one by one.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beware.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sir Winston Churchill, in one of his famous arousing speeches, had this to say about driving out the Nazis and their mischief:</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8230;if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you Google this, a lot of idiots have had trouble grasping what he meant. “How could science be perverted?” Was one I saw several times. How can it be dark if the “lights” are bright was another silly comment.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Look folks, he’s saying The Nazis will sink the world into a new Dark Age… darkness, no light, get it? The darkness will seem worse because of the razzle-dazzle of fake science. It won’t illuminate the darkness; it will make it seem darker still. Get it?</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" td-modal-image aligncenter wp-image-20123 " src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Winston-Churchill.jpeg" alt="" width="503" height="335" srcset="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Winston-Churchill.jpeg 465w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Winston-Churchill-300x200.jpeg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #808080;">Churchill won the Nobel Prize in 1953, not the Peace Prize but for Literature… “for his mastery of historical and biographical description as well as for brilliant oratory in defending exalted human values”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That’s EXACTLY what’s happening in the world today, as science has turned its back on truth and is going for money, control, domineering… power, prestige and profits. That’s NOT a human freedom agenda.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The truth is, as I have said many times, is that Nazism achieved its world domination plans eventually, via <a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/fda-rewriting-the-facts-to-suit-big-pharma/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Big Pharma</a>. I G Farben, Hitler&#8217;s favorite corporation founded Bayer (Aspirin, etc.), Hoechst, Agfa and Sanofi. I G Farben, built on slave labor from concentration camps, didn&#8217;t just vanish after the war. No siree, it was &#8220;re-launched&#8221; in 1951! (official double-talk)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now, here’s what YouTube has just announced, about its deliberate intention to sink us into a new Dark Age, where discovery, truth and freedom have NO part. Their attack is disguised as “proper” medical science. But it’s not. It’s a throttle-hold on all progress.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">SCIENCE DOES NOT ADVANCE BY CONSENSUS; IT ADVANCES BY INNOVATION, REBELLION AND DISPUTATION!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">YouTube position would have meant no anesthetics, no antiseptic surgery, women dying like flies in childbirth, no antibiotics, no nutrition… because those is charge of “proper science” denied it was possible to do such things. Consensus refuses to believe in progress; it opposes progress; it attacks and destroys those who are bringing progress.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Those with power and prestige positions won&#8217;t give up their status, just for mere progress. Ha!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So with all that in mind, read the following, which is the meat and potatoes of the YouTube announcement! </span></p>
<h2 id="link01"><b>START…</b></h2>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">As medical information – and misinformation – continuously evolves, <a href="https://youtube.com/@DrKeithScottMumby?si=LgaMuIXyKhs2JQcr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">YouTube</a> needs a policy framework that holds up in the long term, and preserves the important balance of removing egregiously harmful content while ensuring space for debate and discussion. While specific medical guidance can change over time as we learn more, our goal is to ensure that when it comes to areas of well-studied scientific consensus, YouTube is not a platform for distributing information that could harm people.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">[remember the official view is that not taking your chemo or statins will “harm” you KS-M]</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Moving forward, YouTube will streamline dozens of our existing medical misinformation guidelines to fall under three categories – Prevention, Treatment, and Denial. These policies will apply to specific health conditions, treatments, and substances where content contradicts local health authorities or the World Health Organization (WHO).</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">To determine if a condition, treatment or substance is in scope of our medical misinformation policies, we’ll evaluate whether it’s associated with a high public health risk, publicly available guidance from health authorities around the world, and whether it’s generally prone to misinformation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s what the framework will look like:</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Prevention misinformation: We will remove content that contradicts health authority guidance on the prevention and transmission of specific health conditions, and on the safety and efficacy of approved vaccines. For example, this encompasses content that promotes a harmful substance for disease prevention (unless it is patented and being sold by Big Pharma… KS-M)</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Treatment misinformation: We will remove content that contradicts health authority guidance on treatments for specific health conditions, including promoting specific harmful substances or practices. Examples include content that encourages unproven remedies in place of seeking medical attention for specific conditions, like promoting caesium chloride as a treatment for cancer.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Denial misinformation: We will remove content that disputes the existence of specific health conditions. This covers content that denies people have died from COVID-19.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our goal is to make the rules of the road clearer and have a more transparent framework in place for evaluating whether certain diseases or conditions would be included in the future… </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">(meaning you can&#8217;t point out the number of cases who were killed by medical incompetence). So that just about gets all the evil under wraps and out of sight…</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In other words, it’s all going to be subsumed to the American model, WHICH IS ONE OF THE WORST MEDICAL MODELS IN THE WORLD. The USA is 47</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">th</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on the list of healthy nations, behind countries such Slovenia, Lithuania, Greece, Colombia, Costa Rica and, Chile. Yet you are going to be forced into medical care that is WORSE than theirs!</span></p>
<h2><b>Removing Cancer Treatment Misinformation</b></h2>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">When cancer patients and their loved ones are faced with a diagnosis, they often turn to online spaces to research symptoms, learn about treatment journeys, and find community. Our mission is to make sure that when they turn to YouTube, they can easily find high-quality content from credible health sources.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[oncologists, credible? KS-M]</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">In applying our updated approach, <a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/neglected-cancer-cure-and-treatment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cancer treatment</a> misinformation fits the framework – the public health risk is high as cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, there is stable consensus about safe cancer treatments from local and global health authorities, and it’s a topic that’s prone to misinformation.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Starting today and ramping up in the coming weeks, we will begin removing content that promotes cancer treatments proven to be harmful or ineffective, or content that discourages viewers from seeking professional medical treatment. This includes content that promotes unproven treatments in place of approved care or as a guaranteed cure, and treatments that have been specifically deemed harmful by health authorities. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Note that all this heavy control is being put in place by snotty little half-formed hominids called geeks. Most of them can’t wipe their own ass properly, never mind protect the truth and the guardians of progress from harm. They think that because they can write code, which the world uses a lot, that therefore puts them in charge of civilization, with the right to decide who lives and who dies!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yes, angry.</span></p>
<p>To Your Good Health,<strong><br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It has emerged that most top patient advocacy organizations have unconscionable industry ties in their leadership. In fact HALF (yes, HALF!) patient advisory “charities” had paid staff or executives being paid by Big Pharma. That’s a MASSIVE conflict of interest. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In fact it’s downright criminal, because charities collect money from the public for &#8220;research&#8221; which they then, in effect, use it for marketing Big Pharma products! I mean… It&#8217;s really beyond belief that they are getting away with it. Not just getting away with it but flourishing by gaming the system.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" td-modal-image aligncenter wp-image-20113 " src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/charities-donate.png" alt="Big Charities Dishonesty and Sleaze All The Way To The Bank" width="614" height="343" srcset="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/charities-donate.png 1636w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/charities-donate-300x168.png 300w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/charities-donate-1024x572.png 1024w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/charities-donate-768x429.png 768w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/charities-donate-1536x858.png 1536w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/charities-donate-696x389.png 696w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/charities-donate-1068x597.png 1068w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/charities-donate-752x420.png 752w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And doesn&#8217;t this also show the degree of contempt this industry has for those it should serve (patients).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Listen, I know this story. A few years back (2002) I was booked to speak to an overseas branch of the Alzheimer’s Association.  It was no secret that I was going to commend better diet and lifestyle choices. But “head office” banned my talk at the last moment. The Alzheimer’s Association is NOT a patient advocacy organization… they only want to push drugs like Aricept and would deliberately block patients from being told important lifestyle facts that could help them.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Same with the American Cancer Society. NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY, THEY DO NOT WANT A CURE FOR CANCER. They will actively block and deride any promising treatment that is not patented and controlled by <a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/fda-rewriting-the-facts-to-suit-big-pharma/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Big Pharma</a>. The executives are on fat salaries which would come to an end if there ever was a “final” breakthrough solution for cancer.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now a new study out of Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut, in a letter published in JAMA Internal Medicine, has uncovered extensive industry ties, with improper financial rewards for the players, despite their efforts to keep the truth hidden.</span></p>
<p id="link01"><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to this study, three-quarters of the highest-revenue patient advocacy organizations (PAOs) in the U.S. have board members or executive high-ups with ties to the pharmaceutical or medical device industry. Three quarters! That&#8217;s obscene but it shows you how evil, creepy and sinister Big Pharma is with its undercover methods.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Eleven PAOs had executive directors or CEOs with industry ties, and of the 10 highest-revenue PAOs, five executive directors or CEOs had prior or current industry ties.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Close leadership ties between PAOs and the pharmaceutical industry raises questions about industry&#8217;s influence on these organizations and their supposed patient education, policy recommendations, and treatment guidelines, said the reviewers. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">NO IT DOESN&#8217;T! </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It ANSWERS the questions about the undue influence of drug company money on what is said and done by doctors everywhere</span></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. It reveals the absurd and totally dishonest pretense that that these organizations work mainly for the patient&#8217;s good. They work to program and propagandize patients into accepting that what&#8217;s being done/sold to them is in their best interests.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It&#8217;s all really in the medical profit cartels best interests.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to co-author Shamik Bhat, BS, of the Yale School of Medicine, the vast majority of patient advocacy groups not only have financial ties, but now we can see that they also have deep integration at the boardroom and executive level.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;What was particularly concerning as well is that some of these organizations had in their leadership people who not only have worked for industry in the past, but currently were actively working for industry, including some CEOs or executive directors,&#8221; she told MedPage Today. &#8220;I think that that degree of ties is a little concerning, to say the least.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Of the 11 PAOs that had executive directors or CEOs with ties to industry, four were also serving on pharmaceutical company boards at the same time: the American Cancer Society (Genentech), the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson&#8217;s Research (Pfizer), the Cancer Research Institute (Coherus Biosciences), and the Foundation Fighting Blindness (Opus Genetics).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">An earlier study by Matthew S. McCoy, PhD, of the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, and colleagues, previously showed that 83% of 104 high-revenue PAOs received financial support from industry, and 36% had at least one current drug, device, or biotechnology company executive on the governing board.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The whole medical industry edifice is riddled with crime, corruption, self-interest and subterfuge. But of course they are sneaky and won&#8217;t let their dirty secrets be known, if they can help it. There is no transparency, in other words.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;The full scope of this support and the severity of conflicts of interest remain difficult to determine given the disclosures of the organizations,&#8221; McCoy&#8217;s group wrote.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the current Yale study, their researchers got clever and turned to GuideStar, a database of nonprofits, to identify the 50 highest-revenue U.S.-based PAOs as of July 2022. All PAOs were public charities focused on a specific disease or therapeutic area. They also used annual reports and tax documents to determine revenue, and PAO websites, LinkedIn profiles, personal websites, and biographies on other websites to determine PAO leadership and industry ties.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> &#8220;Whether it&#8217;s intentional or not, I think transparency for a lot of these patient advocacy organizations is a pretty significant weakness at the moment,&#8221; Bhat noted.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The effects of such conflicts remain hazy and &#8220;anecdotal,&#8221; but you can be sure that the organizations official narrative dovetails nicely with what they want the public to know and—for sure—they will keep quiet when there are issues around drug safety or the outrageous pricing.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, for example, when aducanumab (Aduhelm) was granted FDA approval, patients were supplied with advisory materials from the Alzheimer&#8217;s Association &#8212; which had financial ties to Biogen – already promoting the drug, not really talking about risks and really saying to patients, &#8216;talk to your doctors about this, so you can immediately get access to be able to take this miracle cure. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now we know that the drug&#8217;s effectiveness has been called into question and the European Medical Agency EMA outright refused to approve it in April 2022 (predictably, Biogen, in a press release stated that the laboratory will continue “to defend the interests of patients”—meaning continue to fight in their own interests.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">1 </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The word &#8220;humbug&#8221; comes to mind!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These organizations, the study authors concluded, must make their industry ties transparent &#8220;in terms of both finances and leadership to foster trust in their independence.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As if!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It&#8217;s time for physicians to really question PAO funding and leadership on behalf of their patients, and evaluate medical treatments based on evidence alone.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We can only hope. Meanwhile DO NOT GIVE TO MEDICAL CHARITIES. They are, in essence, a scam. A few shine above the dirt, like Macmillan Nurses and Médecins sans frontières but even they are liable to &#8220;influence&#8221;, believe me!</span></p>
<p>Angry again!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In response to the mouthings of Robert Califf, head of the FDA, a waffly, dishonest and misleading article appeared in MedPage Today and was followed by major slamming by readers incensed enough to comment harshly.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Califf blames misinformation for Americans&#8217; stagnating life expectancy. He’s right but not in the way he means—I’m referring to the orchestrated lies and disinformation peddled by Big Pharma in pursuit of profits, NOT community health.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Many don&#8217;t use statins, vaccines, or COVID-19 therapies,” he says. “Many choose to smoke cigarettes and eat the wrong food.” This is an old switch trick of logic, cynically applied: he knows very well these are not equitable opposites.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Califf and the FDA are fighting misinformation head-on, claims the MedPage Today article (as if!) &#8220;The misinformation machine is really causing a lot of deaths,&#8221; he said, in an apparent ad-lib, this spring in a speech at Tufts University. The pandemic, he told KFF Health News, helped &#8220;crystallize&#8221; his need to tackle misinformation. It was a &#8220;blatant case,&#8221; in which multiple studies gave evidence about very effective therapeutics against COVID. &#8220;And a lot of people chose not to do it.&#8221; There were &#8220;large-scale purveyors of misinformation,&#8221; he said, poisoning the well.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" td-modal-image aligncenter wp-image-19970 size-full" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/robert-califf-FDA.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="540" srcset="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/robert-califf-FDA.jpg 960w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/robert-califf-FDA-300x169.jpg 300w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/robert-califf-FDA-768x432.jpg 768w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/robert-califf-FDA-696x392.jpg 696w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/robert-califf-FDA-747x420.jpg 747w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /><span style="color: #808080;">Robert Califf MD, chief funny man in the FDA circus </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, the author of the journal article was not totally bowled over by the official B*S*. Califf and the FDA have added to the cacophony of misinformation, he said. And sometimes their misinformation is about misinformation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Califf hasn&#8217;t been able to consistently estimate misinformation&#8217;s public health toll. Last June, he said it was the &#8220;leading cause of meaningful life-years lost.&#8221; In the fall, he told a conference: &#8220;I&#8217;ve been going around saying that misinformation is the most common cause of death in the United States.&#8221; He continued, &#8220;There is no way to prove that, but I do believe that it is.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is a complete, deliberate and outrageous lie. He just admits he doesn’t know, there is no way of knowing. Yet he says he “knows”.</span></p>
<p id="link0"><span style="font-weight: 400;">At other times, as in April, he has called the problem the nation&#8217;s &#8220;leading cause&#8221; of premature death. &#8220;I&#8217;ll keep working on this to try and get it right,&#8221; he said. Later, in May, he said, &#8220;Many Americans die or experience serious illness every year due to bad choices driven by false or misleading information.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yes, it’s called the pharmaceutical industry!</span></p>
<p id="link01"><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to the CDC the country&#8217;s life expectancy has dropped 2 years in a row—down to 76.1 years, as of 2021. Countries such as Slovenia, Greece, and Costa Rica now outrank the U.S. Their newborn citizens are expected to live more than 80 years, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.</span></p>
<p><b>This ONE FACT is a dismal indictment of everything the corrupt FDA does and stands for.</b></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" td-modal-image aligncenter wp-image-19969 size-full" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/life-expectancy.png" alt="" width="1495" height="650" srcset="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/life-expectancy.png 1495w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/life-expectancy-300x130.png 300w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/life-expectancy-1024x445.png 1024w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/life-expectancy-768x334.png 768w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/life-expectancy-696x303.png 696w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/life-expectancy-1068x464.png 1068w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/life-expectancy-966x420.png 966w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1495px) 100vw, 1495px" /><span style="color: #808080;">For decades, life expectancy ran parallel, then suddenly the US fell really short.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But the rant continues:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Outside experts are sympathetic. Misinformation is a &#8220;huge problem for public health,&#8221; said Joshua Sharfstein, MD, a Johns Hopkins University public health professor and former FDA principal deputy commissioner. Having a strategy to combat it is crucial. But, he cautioned, &#8220;that&#8217;s the easiest part of this.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The agency launched a &#8220;Rumor Control&#8221; page seeking to debunk persistent confusion. Unfortunately, they omitted to hammer Big Pharma!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Califf has said he thinks better regulation and more authority- would help. In other words make him a bigger thug and he will get rid of unwanted elements everywhere (sounds like Hitler? It’s exactly like Hitler).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Califf bragged small victories. Ivermectin, once touted as a COVID wonder drug, &#8220;eventually&#8221; became one such win. But, then again, its use is &#8220;not completely gone,&#8221; he said. And, despite winning individual battles, his optimism is muted: &#8220;I&#8217;d say right now the trend in the war is in a negative direction.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And it&#8217;s difficult to know what to take on or respond to, Califf said. &#8220;I think we&#8217;re just in the early days of being able to do that,&#8221; he told KFF Health News. &#8220;It&#8217;s very hard to be scientific,&#8221; he said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">No it isn’t! You just show humility and transparency. Most important of all: you allow discussion. Enough of this talk about THE science, as if it’s all fixed for eternity. That’s not science, that’s zealotry and dogma. Science means DIALOGUE, discussion, DEBATE, sharing opinions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Science is NOT one bunch of bullies claiming they are the scientists and everyone who finds things differently are crooks, phoneys or idiots! That’s very far from science.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In countering misinformation, FDA risks coming off as high-handed, says the article. Too right. In September 2021, the agency tweeted about purported myths and misinformation on mammograms. Among the myths? That they&#8217;re painful. Instead, the agency explained that &#8220;everyone&#8217;s pain threshold is different&#8221; and the breast cancer-screening procedure is more often described as &#8220;temporary discomfort.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Obviously, this is a remark by a man, an elderly man at that. Ask any woman: she’s tell you it HURTS!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Statements like Califf’s &#8220;erode trust,&#8221; said Lisa Fitzpatrick, MD, MPH, MPA, an infectious diseases physician and currently the CEO of Grapevine Health, a startup trying to improve health literacy in underserved communities. Fitzpatrick has previously served as an official with the District of Columbia&#8217;s Medicaid program and with the CDC.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Who are you to judge what&#8217;s painful?&#8221; she asked, rhetorically. It&#8217;s hard to brand subjective impressions as misinformation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Califf has consistently played down the government&#8217;s ability to solve the problem of “misinformation”, meaning freedom of speech. &#8220;One hundred percent of experts agree, government cannot solve this. We have too much distrust in fundamental institutions,&#8221; he said last June. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yes, well whose problem is this? If you lie consistently and repeatedly, people no longer trust you. Duh!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But what really astonished me was the pushback in the comments for this article!</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Bad information travels at the speed of light,” said one responder. “While good information is still going through fact checks and multiple edits. Unfortunately, this applies to medical and health care information, which leads to promotion of ineffective or even dangerous treatments for serious conditions and illness.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I wonder if he spotted the irony and contradiction in this? Misinformation by Big Pharma (backed up by lies from stooges and shills) is a leading cause of sickness and death. No, I do not mean failed or ineffective treatments; I mean treatments that kill and maim.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s another comment: </span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">These <a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/big-pharma-conspiracy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pharmaceutical companies</a> that lie and deceive the public get a small fine that doesn’t compare to the massive profits they’ve already made (Vioxx, OxyContin, Zantac, AZT). When will these purveyors of disinformation actually be held accountable?!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And another:</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">In my opinion, the greatest distrust of the FDA (and other government agencies) stems from the fact that we see that they are unduly influenced by the very people they are supposed to be monitoring. The old adage &#8220;Follow the Money!&#8221; is still so true. And the term misinformation has been so overused and misused by everyone that it no longer means anything. People just want open discourse about health issues. Medicine has been hammering us to be informed consumers for years. Then suddenly we weren&#8217;t supposed to ask any questions. Then when we saw the results of what happened to scientists and healthcare professionals who dared to ask questions, it became clear that this was more than an effort to correct misinformation. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And two more comments:</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">CDC, FDA, and the government stance in a nutshell—Our word is law, we are the king and therefore God and always right—so if you disagree (including scientists and licensed physicians, etc.) with the agenda we are pushing then you are spreading misinformation and we will witch hunt such people down and publically discredit them, censor them, attack them on a personal level as quacks, etc… We are too lazy to educate the public and explain things truthfully and with total transparency, so instead we are now dictators and all must do exactly as we say, no free will or choice allowed.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;There is no way to prove that, but I believe that it is.&#8221; He can say that with a straight face and expect me to trust him and the FDA? Nope. If the FDA would stop being a political agency and get back to scientifically based recommendations they might be able to regain some trust.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That last sums it all up. And by the way, this is not just about the wrongdoings and dishonesty of the American FDA, but government agencies all over the world.</span></p>
<p>To Your Good Health,</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This week something a bit unusual. I’m sharing a BRILLIANT set of 3 videos recently recorded with my old pal Dr. Sarah Myhill.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sarah is a magnificent, sharing and caring person, overflowing with knowledge of biology, physiology, nutrition and self-care. She’s bursting with energy and vitality, a true poster girl to her own cause!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But there’s a problem… a BIG problem. The medical profession and pharmaceutical industry HATE her. She’s been attacked and they’ve tried to crush and obliterate her no less than 43 times!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The British General Medical Council (GMC) are a bunch of criminal lackeys, long past their sell-by date, who only retain their powerful roles because they work for <strong><a href="https://alternative-doctor.com/the-utter-obscenity-of-big-pharma-in-the-usa/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Big Pharma</a></strong>. They do NOT represent the patient’s safety, as they claim, but seek to forward corporate interests at every turn.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I was up before them myself a few times but Sarah… My God… 38 times they have tried to destroy her as a doctor (equivalent of losing her license, which we Brits call being “struck off”). The score to date: Dr Myhill 38; GMC nil (0)! There are 5 more hearings; the next is November 2023.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The bastards won’t let up. Endless trumped up charges which they cannot make stick. They even arraigned her for non compliance—she wouldn’t turn over patient records for them to peruse. BUT THE </span><b>GMC’s OWN RULES</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> FORBID DISCLOSING A PATIENT’S RECORDS, IF THE PATIENT DOES NOT CONSENT TO IT. Ha!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She was following THEIR rules and yet they tried to get her for not complying with their (illegal) order to disclose confidential notes. Sarah won. But it’s still SICK that a professional regulatory body could do that.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The GMC in fact is capable of putting up false stooges to make absurd claims, that some of her recommendations were “potentially lethal” and fell “seriously below standard” of patient care. Vitamin C and vitamin D; sniffing Lugol’s iodine from a salt pipe? Lethal? Are you KIDDING! Paracetamol (Tylenol) is way more deadly.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We are looking at the face of pure evil. But Sarah still comes up smiling and laughing even. It’s got to be some kind of stupid joke, she thinks.</span></p>
<p id="link01"><b>[QUICK NEWS FLASH: the British Medical Association (BMA) just last week has called for the disbandment of the current GMC, as constituted, and has demanded the removal of the old dinosaurs!]</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s obvious what is behind this: Sarah is one of the world’s FINEST holistic doctors; her patients LOVE her and her extensive knowledge puts all the old fools to shame, and they know it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That’s why I want to share Sarah’s wisdom with you. I got her talking about post-viral fatigue syndrome (PVFS), ME, fibromyalgia, long COVID, or whatever you want to call it. There are slight differences in these conditions but basically they share a common breakdown, which is mitochondrial failure and overwhelm.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" td-modal-image aligncenter wp-image-19919" src="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/mito-bunny.png" alt="" width="505" height="488" srcset="https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/mito-bunny.png 725w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/mito-bunny-300x290.png 300w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/mito-bunny-696x672.png 696w, https://alternative-doctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/mito-bunny-435x420.png 435w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 505px) 100vw, 505px" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400; color: #808080;">Mitochondria are our energy bunnies that go on and on and on!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our little energy bunnies can’t perform as they should and are crying out for help! I caught Sarah on a good day and grabbed some time with her. I have over an hour of her wisdom recorded, broken up into 3 manageable videos. And you need to watch these… Oh YES, you really do!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Incidentally, CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) is exactly what it says. ME or fibromyalgia, so-called Lymes and now long COVID, is chronic fatigue (CFS) plus systemic inflammation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why do I think these 3 videos are so important? You don’t have to have CFS or ME/fibromyalgia or long COVID to benefit from tickling your mitochondria a bit! Indeed almost everyone in the modern world is struggling to keep their bunnies on the go.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sarah is good at metaphors too: you’ll learn about the thyroid accelerator pedal and the adrenal gearbox!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I think you’ll like what you hear, in fact I’m sure of it. So much so, I have given over a whole newsletter to this theme.</span></p>
