The Year In Review and the Incredible Opportunities Before Us

The Forgotten Side of Medicine

I feel one of the most significant issues in healthcare is that things are so rushed that patients don’t get the opportunity to establish a genuine relationship with their physician, and hence, they often lack the critical voice that is necessary for a doctor-patient relationship to be therapeutic. Because of this, I initially had the goal to correspond with everyone who reached out to me, but now, due to how many correspondences I receive, that’s no longer possible.

I eventually decided that the best option I had was to post monthly open threads where anyone could ask what they wanted to, as that way I could efficiently get through the pressing questions I was not able to answer throughout my articles. Then pair those threads with a topic that didn’t quite merit its own article.

For this month’s open thread, I wanted to answer some of the general questions readers have about this newsletter and discuss how it fits into the much broader cycle we are all rapidly being pulled into. Silver Lozenges with V... Buy New $17.95 (as of 06:27 UTC - Details)

Dismantling Medical Propaganda

Throughout my life, I’ve watched many remarkable medical innovators be crushed and erased by a system that does not tolerate dissent, and in tandem, I’ve watched disastrous drug after drug (or vaccine) be given free rein to harm so many people.

In most cases, the same things perpetuate this (e.g., a rigid unwillingness within the medical profession to challenge any existing medical dogmas and an absolute trust in the medical orthodoxy by both the media and our other institutions). For instance, consider this 2006 CBS news segment (and NIH study), which showed that flu shots increased flu deaths but had no effect on the CDC’s vaccine recommendations.

Likewise, I’ve lost count of how many specious arguments I’ve seen be reused again and again to defend the medical industry.

For example, the most recent NTY hit piece on RFK Jr. showcased one of these ridiculous arguments. For decades, the medical community has circularly argued that vaccines are so “safe and effective” that it is unethical to test them against controls as this would deny those controls access to “life saving vaccines” (despite vaccine preventable fatal infectious illnesses being very rare in the United States).

As such, the only acceptable way to test vaccines is to compare them to an existing vaccine (which in turn hides most of the harm since all vaccines cause similar issues) and only briefly monitor for side effects (when most of the major issues are chronic illnesses that take time to develop). In contrast, whenever long-term studies are conducted evaluating vaccinated vs. unvaccinated children (which consistently show vaccines increase most of the common chronic illnesses children suffer from by 1.5-10 times), they are always attacked for being invalid since the trial was not blinded with a placebo.

Likewise, we are all told to “believe in science,” but for one reason or another are never given the raw data behind it. For instance, we are never given access to the raw trial data for vaccines. Numerous datasets exist that could answer many of the safety questions about vaccines the government has kept hidden for decades despite many lawsuits trying to access them. Instead, we are only given carefully cured presentations of their data that consistently reinforce the “safe and effective” narrative—yet whenever a lawsuit makes it possible to obtain the actual raw data, it always shows the presentation we received was a lie. This includes:

•The SSRI antidepressant trials covering up the fact they killed people.

•The published paper on the CDC’s COVID-19 vaccine safety monitoring system covering up the harms shown in the actual data.

The COVID-19 vaccine trials not reporting many of the severe injuries that occurred and falsely inflating the vaccine’s efficacy.

•Many large papers produced during the pandemic (used to discredit off-patent COVID-19 therapies) using obviously fake data sets but were nonetheless published in major journals.

Note: a recent article discussed many of the other nonsensical arguments commonly used to promote vaccines (e.g., pushing people who aren’t vaccinated to vaccinate to protect those who are already vaccinated constitutes a tacit admission the vaccine does not work while saying it’s unacceptable we put the national vaccine program at risk by allowing lawsuits to be filed for vaccine injuries is a tactic admission vaccines aren’t safe).

What I find so frustrating about arguments like this is that for decades, the weight behind them has made them almost impossible to challenge regardless of how absurd they are (e.g., one of the primary attacks against RFK Jr. appointment was to say that since’s he’s been involved in vaccine injury litigation, that’s an immense disqualifying conflict of interest and he must recuse himself from any decisions relating to vaccines as H.H.S. Secretary, but right before RFK’s senate vote, the leading Democrat said that since RFK had not served as a pharmaceutical CEO, he was not qualified to run H.H.S.).

In turn, the key thing that motivated me to invest myself in speaking out on all of this was that when COVID happened, I realized everything was becoming malleable, and that for the first time in my life, these dogmas could be overturned because so many people were seeking out the truth and could open their eyes to see past the endless lies we are bombarded with.

Note: while many recent events could be tied to it, I believe this window ultimately exists because we are in a spiritual epoch characterized by things rapidly changing, and the rate of change continually accelerating (e.g., consider what the internet has done to society and how rapidly it is evolving). When this happens, societies typically become more and more unstable, so it is critical to both come to terms with this rapid pace of change and to do what you can to be a point of stability, which can help to guide everything that unfolds in a positive direction.

Once I saw this window, I realized the most useful thing I could do would be to gradually expose and dissect the mythologies that had been propped up to support vaccine program—which before long also required diving into their connections with the other predatory practices of the pharmaceutical industry, systemic government corruption (e.g., at the FDA) and the vast public relations (propaganda) apparatus around us. Since then, I’ve noticed people are starting to see through many of these lies, and more and more influencers are discussing them. I feel increasingly hopeful the longstanding propaganda system is no longer viable (e.g., I’ve corresponded with longtime News Anchors who’ve shared it’s an immense relief that the public relations industry they dealt with throughout their media careers is finally starting to be exposed).

At the same time however, I also felt that exposing the failings of the medical system (especially many of the more egregious pharmaceutical drugs) was not enough. Instead, it was also necessary to provide a better path forward, as without that, no matter how much you fight against it, it’s almost impossible to overturn the current paradigm. To that end, I’ve tried to provide useful resources on the Forgotten Sides of Medicine that:

• Applies to a significant number of people and is relatively easy to implement.

•Had a high likelihood of improving people’s health and was very unlikely to harm people.

•Provided a direct experience demonstrating a better way forward for medicine and how we understand health (as this is much more powerful than just being an intellectual idea).

Finally, since I’ve been involved in the health freedom area for decades (and that community provided the initial support that created the audience here), I’ve tried to focus on specific political issues periodically that I feel are important and within the scope of this publication. Especially if I feel there is an opportunity to shift things. For example, I recently dedicated the last two months to helping secure RFK’s nomination—and due to an immense stroke of luck, one of the campaigns I put into motion caught a societal wave and overnight reframed the national discussion around RFK’s confirmation to focus on the financial conflicts of interest motivating many of his detractors.
