A serious critique of why preponderance of clinical evidence was disregarded by public health officials during the COVIDcrisis. This is not for everyone.
"We need to be able to put our resources together and plan for the IHR amendments, for the WHO, the health treaty, and whatever, climate change and all these things that are coming our way. We need to be able to cope with that by fighting [00:23:30] back by plans. The same way they did it to us, we need to do it back to them." This is it, exactly. The most important part of his whole presentation, imho.
This was such a great speech by Risch in about 20 minutes. He explains quite clearly how 'EBM' has been a carefully executed con played on the medical profession and the scientific community. The purpose of the con has been to brainwash the target audience with plausible deceptions and to elicit or compel desired behaviors from them. He also indicates the remedy for this big con which is very simply for scientists and practitioners to wake up out of their shameful stupor and begin thinking for real, and talking to each other in an organized and disciplined fashion. Thank you Dr. Risch.
The shameful stupor of the medical profession has been induced by pharmaceutical companies in partnership with government agencies. The drug companies love so-called randomized clinical trials because the outcomes are so readily manipulated in the service of profit and the narrative. The susceptibility to manipulation makes "randomized" trials one of the lower forms of clinical evidence. It is time to subject the evidentiary standards to analysis. The last few years have shown us the current system of evaluation is corrupt and broken.
IMO! Research trials are statistically unreliable because they are limited in scope by number of patients involved, timeline of study is too short and the screening of patients and eliminating those with known health issues. More often than not, they quietly remove patients from studies that create a negative bias. Two major 30 million dollar studies before RNA come to mind WHI and Vital study. Both had built in bias. WHI designed to discredit estrogen and Vital to discredit the true central role of vitamin D. Researchers in the early 2000's proved that most research projects were not objective and ridged in design. ROI becomes the driving force!
Oh, like the strong association in the 1977? WHI study results, between women w/ prior cardiovascular events and morbidity or death, when on a low-fat diet, and no association w/ new events when on a high fat diet? According to Gary Noakes, the results weren't published until the late 80s, well after McGovern & the carb industry published the high carb/whole grain-fixated Food Pyramid that demonized saturated fat. Chronic inflammation & metabolic syndromes may be the common pathway for most of Western diseases--diabetes, heart, obesity, cancer--but how many studies do you see of breast cancer survivors who cannot function on supposedly life-saving endocrine therapy who are then trialed w/ intermittent fasting, or staggered-dose-evaluated lower-carb diets? WHY are hundreds of thousands of women sitting in depression, pain, & exhaustion for 5-10 years to "prevent a recurrence" when there are so many interventions that almost equal the prevention levels w/ much less toxic side effects?
Wow. I'm just learning about this scandal. The merging of public "health" motivated by profit & enforced by law & intrusion into one's very body is getting very scary, and real.
The vaccines were bad enough. But if you're in acute pain--a broken leg or surgery--you're often discharged w/o any narcotics to manage your pain, esp if you're a woman.
I believe withholding adequate medical treatment is a violation of the Geneva Convention. It's a war crime. But it's good way to weed out disabled chronic pain patients--mostly aging women who've raised their kids & should just go off and die like in Canada rather than burden the system with their criminal, hysterical, attention-seeking, cowardly needs.
There have been patients (male) that have later killed the male doctors for the pain they were still in after surgery. Others in the area of the shooting were also hit. Some people believe the hate piled on oxycotin was due to moving patients off of it so they would have to find alternatives like illegal drugs which may be laced with fentanyl. Whatever can, without suspicion, kill off people is the goal.
BAM! Your comment on breast cancer survivors and the subsequent endocrine therapy is stunning and exactly what I was presented with. I would not do it, not for an excised 6mm solid papillary carcinoma with clean margins, no family history of breast cancer and otherwise perfect blood work. The duration of the “cure” is worse than the disease. Now, if you could point me to other interventions you speak of, you have my attention. Thank you!!!
Good for you for advocating for yourself in a climate of suffocating, patronizing pink-washed bullshit.
It's enraging, right? My rant . . . so, if you're facing menopause or post-menopausal, you're already facing challenging bodily changes. The Guardian et al supposedly now care about menopause, probably because middle-aged cross-dressing men want more ways to perform womanhood on social media. And yes, the NHS is giving women approved time off or something & it's gotten more attention in the US. But, if the Pharma health"care" state wants you to take a drug that amplifies those very same symptoms--hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings, fatigue, painful osteoarthritis & permanent joint damage, loss in bone density-- suddenly your symptoms are minimal and can be managed with meditation and CBT. Just shut up already.
And women are far more likely than men to be dx w/ debilitating autoimmune and/or connective tissue disorders (invisible, no less), including symptoms like systemic fatigue, post-exertional malaise, postural intolerance, a range of pain, among others. Not saying men don't face other challenges, and some--like chronic pain from injuries in military service--are shamefully undertreated too, but we're much more likely to have lots of invisible, maddening, ebb-&-flow, unpredictable, debilitating symptoms that we struggle to hide and/or have validated. Endocrine therapy pours gasoline on the fire. AI's have been demonstrated under the microscope to damage/alter connective tissue around joints--but even w/ MRI, microscopic, and genetic analysis validating the "reality" of the pain women experience, we still just have an anticipatory bias, right?
THEN, we're facing a eugenicist-level Pain Undertreatment Crisis due to the opioid hysteria, which among other moral crimes imposes an undue burden on any patient facing the possibility of more pain and/or fatigue to "prove" that their condition warrants treatment (which worked for decades and is cheap)--and that patient must get on a waiting list to then go to face to face expensive meetings with pain "specialists" who seem to really specialize in emotionally abusing their patients by treating them like drug-seekers or mentally ill.
Beyond this, the side effects caused by endocrine therapy preclude or mitigate some of the most highly recommended "lifestyle" choices that consistently correlate w/ risk reduction. 1) If you're really depressed you get more socially isolated--a known risk factor for not just cancer but heart issues, etc. 2) If you gain weight because endocrine therapy seems to double the caloric intake of the same food you ate before, you're increasing your metabolic risk for overall poor health and worse, generating _more_ estrogen by increasing your fat stores. 3) The ongoing untreated pain--and fatigue-- make exercise very difficult, though that appears to be the #1 recommendation by everybody for a range of reasons. 4) It also makes it hard to keep any job, if you have one, which affects income, material security, social networks, and ultimately the quality of your living conditions, healthcare, food, etc. 5) If you've got kids to look after, you're really screwed--you're guilted for being a bad Mom (of course, that's as common as breathing) for not doing everything you can for prevention, but then you're such a depressed, exhausted, debilitated hot mess that your parenting is bound to be affected. And 6) The combined effect of these side effects--of sacrificing 5? years of your life--it keeps increasing-- to prevent a recurrence that would then require more of the same--is to generate chronic emotional stress that contributes to the well-known inflammatory states that favor cancer recurrence or new primaries in other systems.
Oh yeah--cataracts, endometrial cancer, osteoporosis leading to breaks & falls, liver damage, cardiovascular risks once estrogen is sucked out of your body, skin firmness & moisture--those are more side effects that those pesky, non-compliant, placebo-effect-gullible, mentally ill female patients insist on balancing against the risk of recurrence or metastasis.
As for me and options---I've read a lot of peer-reviewed pubs & watched conf talks on Youtube about what's being called the metabolic (as opposed to genetic) paradigm for understanding cancer. Go to Youtube and watch Thomas Seyfried, Jason Fung, Gary Noakes, and plenty of others lay out the role of high carb/low fat diets in unprecedented rates of heart disease & cancer. The hx of the Food Pyramid is probably tumorigenic on its own, given the stress it induces once you understand how the results were suppressed for two generations. I'll never look at a cereal aisle the same way again. Or fruit juice.
Thomas Seyfried (at Yale, not Boston College) and his research group have demonstrated shrinking glioblastomas to the size of a pea w/ this diet & what they call their press/pulse therapy, which entails intermittent fasting, oxygen therapy, sauna. Basically, they follow a modified Warburg principle of how cancer cells "feed"--because they're unicellular organisms (similar to the first half of all life on this planet), cancer cells "ferment" and need glucose or glutamine to grow. (Obviously, eliminating alcohol remains a great recommendation, or at least limiting it to a few glasses of wine a month). Healthy cells can live on ketones and can survive eating daily during an 8 hour window or a 3-14 day fast, conditions that demonstrably kill cancers. Probably not entirely. Seyfried et al, importantly, never say they "cure" anything--but they treat it like a chronic inflammatory disease, and manage it through these much healthier ways.
There are more studies demonstrating benefit of these interventions when used as adjunct to "standard of care," because of course the Industry has to make money. But chemo doses can be drastically lowered and still have same effectiveness when combined w/ fasting & other elements from the metabolic approach.
There was actually a 2016? study on intermittent fasting and breast cancer demonstrating some recurrence prevention, at a dose-dependent rate (ie, 12 hrs fasting, 13 hrs daily fasting, that kind of thing). I recall it having some study challenges, like all self-report diet ones do, but at least it was going in the right direction.
Some other supplements w/ research studies to back them in shrinking/preventing breast cancer mets might be potential options? Breastcancer.org has some interesting discussions on these in their alternative therapy group. It's the only place I can find, anywhere, where women remotely challenge the Breast Cancer Industry and "standard of care." There are some physicians who sell products & push a particular approach that you can find online. I'm not able to give an opinion on any of them per se. But here are some supplements to investigate: iIM (which lower estrogen), Melatonin (very important), Turkey Tail & other mushrooms that support immunity, Quercetin/Bromelain & any other supplement that reduces inflammation, amygdalin (yes, "laetrile,"--watch the documentary on Youtube unless it's been removed in the past week on the story of how that work was suppressed in the 1970s)--I'm looking at a bag of bitter apricot kernels that reminds me Amarillo, and no doubt others. Oh, and osteoarthritic symptoms can be affected by the microbiome--look up research studies from 2017 to present identifying the pro- and pre-biotics that can help.
I'm not advising anyone of anything but hoping I can point you/them to work that's given me confidence to decline radiation & hormone therapy--or at least "postpone" it. I'm struggling w/ comorbidities, and endocrine therapy would sink me.
Thanks for asking--sorry for the essay but I started typing & couldn't stop. :-) Drop me a PM if you want. Good luck!
Good Gawsh, We treated every Patient.with respect, dignity and our direct attention and all of our accumulated knowledge…What a “****” show, in many cases, these days. Ed
I had a reaaly “nice” fall hiking and down hill into a rocky creek bed. Zero “doctor”, I patched up wounds…Yep, this is a gonna be a 3 month heal. Coughing/sneezing, activities of daily living and sleeping sucked. 🏴☠️🤣🔥
First…Not in drug research. Primary care of people in need. We did whatever it took.. We used our brains…Ideas…I built, what I called “the walkinking station” in my garage using a parachute rigging harness with pulllies to on/off load. What if people were in such horrific pain, they could not tolerate physical therapy. 10-15mg of diazepam. 3 hours in exam room sleeping/meditating; then, safely driven home. it was simple, sometimes very complex. First, Do NO harm. Ed
One of my favorite adverbs is "evidently." Evidence has implications and in most cases imputations of causality.
A car explodes at a US/Canada border crossing. That's evidence (that a car exploded). First theory on causality: terrorist incident. Further investigation finds no terrorist connections. Next theory: medical emergency of driver (supported by driver seems to be an "upright" citizen, going to a KISS concert - indicating vaccination required). My guess: a vaccine-induced medical emergency, a vaxxident.
Brakes are always much more powerful than the engine. Back in the 1980s, when the Audi 5000 was accused of having a sticky accelerator pedal, Car and Driver magazine did some braking-distance tests, both the normal way with no throttle, and also at full throttle. The braking distances were identical. The engine cannot overpower the brakes.
I don't know what went wrong here, but it wasn't that. (The probability that the brakes failed at exactly the same moment that the accelerator stuck is too remote to consider.)
Everyone familiar with the Rely tampon study probably knew at least one female on that study who had a bad reaction (I did) and was “removed from the study”. This went on until they killed the wife of a c.d.c. muckety muck and toxic shock syndrome was allowed to be discovered. I do not see how any study can be labeled blind, much less ethical, when conducted by the maker of the product tested. Venality too slippery a slope to be ignored in matters this important.
I love this line "Nature works in fact by every subatomic particle and quantum of energy interacting with absolutely every other one according to the ways or laws that nature operates." But "the science is settled!" These usurpers want to classify, contain and control everything under the sun, and a good place to begin is "the science" which has replaced religion in the minds of many.
I too miss those (old) family doctors but I think the trail lawyers were not that important in killing them off. The corporatization of medicine was the culprit, along with government intrusion in health care and drug company corruption that tweaked the practice of medicine in service of pharmaceutical profits. I think we need trial lawyers to pursue the pharmaceutical companies and their puppets to the ends of the earth for their false claims about the "safe and effective" Covid shots. Mostly we need massive political change that shrinks the administrative state, removes immunity statutes for drug companies, and lets the hounds of hell loose on the corporate and governmental monsters who committed these crimes
GREAT comment. 200% how I and many people I am talking with think. We were hoodwinked. Medical Practitioners at every level have been coerced, deceived and intimidated by government and pharmaceutical war against them. Time to set them free.
If you think back to the early 1970s, MDJD, THAT was the era where the Trial Lawyers began unending lawsuits agains MDs - which resulted in ever escalating costs to consumers because the MDs had to pay ever escalating medical MALPRACTICE insurance costs, and many general MD's just quit or retired.
I was practicing medicine in the 1980s and remember it well. But to blame malpractice lawyers for the disaster that is modern corporate medicine is to miss the correct diagnosis by a mile. Trial lawyers are a straw man adversary of the past that distracts from the modern culprits and allows the corporate criminals to continue killing and maiming people with impunity. It is a classic illustration of fighting the last war instead of focusing on the current adversary.
The bottom line to me, who works for many physicians, is if you want respect, you treat the patient's issues, you do not follow protocol's. set up by insurance companies. I have a very dear friend who recently went to MD Anderson in AZ. They told her how they would treat her nodule of the breast.
She asked many questions about why they recommend what they recommend and at the end of the appointment she knew that this was a 'cancer machine'.
She went elsewhere and is doing well, without million dollar chemotherapy. Big pharma loses, she wins.
At the end of the day, I am not fan of drug companies who mislead doctors to feel as if they do not prescribe drugs for a symptom, they could be sued.
The definition of coercion is to strong-arm them to do what they are told without any evidence. This is very disconcerting to me.
I believe you are totally correct vis-'a-vis "modern corporate" medicine, MDJD.
My point is that back then - with the Trial Lawyers scalp hunting the general MD profession - and individual "family" doctors being easy pickings- that traditional form of medicine vanished
in the USA; and actual costs of medical care for the average American family started to skyrocket along with individual and family medical insurance premiums.
Speaking of the Trial Lawyers, one rarely hears the term these days.
I applaud you and Dr. Risch for different reasons. You for posting this piece from Dr. Risch, even though you may have reservations about his conflict of interests, and for him stating them. Thank you for continuing to post important points of view. Waking up is hard to do, breaking up is even harder.
Another variable is Pharma financing studies by researchers anxious to “ prove” that their new drug is a winner ($). The winners in this game of “research” produce studies validating the new drug or vaccine. Contrary studies get no Pharma kudos.
Drug representatives then go out to doctors’ offices with glossy brochures trying to convince them that they should add another drug to the 12 being already taken by their diabetic patients. These people also have kidney disease, hypertension and cholesterol issues. Many of them are obese, and are asking for the new obesity drug.
When it comes to research funded by Pharma, “ follow the money “
I remember Dr. Harvey Risch gave testimony during Dr. Reiner Fuellmich’s Grand Jury Court of Public Opinion trials; I remember him being quite agitated and impatient with the process as he knew that the policies and the science were erroneous, dangerous, and deadly. He was impatient that the medical community were hesitating to call out the disastrous policies based on false premises. He wanted to speak his mind loudly, joining with others, but most were afraid to go against the narrative. His stance was along a different path than Dr. Malones. He had a more technical approach with his peers, while Dr. Malone joined the fight on several fronts, more of which engaged both the medical and scientific community as well as the common man and woman dealing with the overwhelming effects of both the virus policy as well as the vaccine mandated policy. I believe that was and still is Reiner Fuellmich’s fight as well, more geared to the damage to humanity at large. I pray that all the battles will one day wake up a larger percentage of the population and the medical, scientific community. We have a battle against evil on our hands.
I distinctly remember the ‘it’s the data’ ‘it the science’ Weasel on TV the day he glorified Remdesivir. Oh look, we have a drug that is very effective. My group authorized a study of Remdesivir, a highly powered randomized placebo-controlled trial with about a thousand ninety plus individuals. It was an international study with sites around the world. The end point was the time to recovery. We have a ‘data safety monitoring board’ that looks at the data, they are independent so there is no prejudice. The Board notified me and the study teams around the world on April xx that the data shows it has a significant, positive effect in diminishing the time to recover. It also trended for less deaths than in the placebo group, 8% to 11%. We are making the announcement now because whenever you have clear cut evidence a drug works you have an ethical obligations to let those in the placebo group know they can have access . . . .
[And on the other hand, when you have fact based evidence that patients get better with repurposed drugs you have an obligation to stop the use of such drugs until the Weasel finds a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial with 100% effective results …]
I've had occasion to review around 200 peer-reviewed articles & watch conf presentation videos in the past four months, and can truly say that my "rhetoric of science" graduate coursework & years pulling together initiatives in research development did my prepare me for the perfidy of the 21st century medical/corporate pharma state. When does publishing a manuscript go from humbling yourself to revisions to reflect consensus, or grumbling about how this or that editor makes a routine change to flatter her doctoral chair, to study design that regularly silences the very patients the funded "research" is purported to help?
Well, as just one example, I found dozens of sexist comments & assumptions about women in breast cancer journals & presentations w/r/t endocrine therapy that were manifestly not apparent when prostate cancer patients are advised to a similar therapy, though typically w/ only moderate side effects.
But once a Pharma-company has bought a predetermined conclusion through institutional coupling w/ tenure-seeking research clinicians at grant-seeking institutions, the citation to that conclusion gains traction thru research metrics & in popular, uncritical mainstream press (also reading from press releases). We've seen shaky citations flow promote manifest falsehoods about transgender ideology, attempt to undercut evidence supporting the emerging metabolic paradigm, claim a national epidemic of prescription opioid or benzo addiction then only 8% of chronic patients at most become addicted and even then the tradeoffs are sometimes worth it, or undercut a neutral Cochrane review that didn't accuse mask-refusers of genocide. But psychologically, even readers/believers/clinicians who didn't have a stake in these issues will, by repeating weak or false conclusions, will develop a bias toward defending them, since to admit disseminating incorrect & even politically motivated guidance requires the resolution of a lot of cognitive dissonance.
Did you know that in Japan, there is no COVID? Double blind evidence based testing has Nattokinase can and destroy blood clots, And along with K2-MK7 remove the calcium from your arteries. It was also shown to destroy COVID spikes and the vaccine and long COVID.
We injures our arteries Dailey so we need Nattokinase at 8,000 FU'S per day.
Dr Malone did comment on the nattokinase when a subscriber posted something in regards to that supplement. I don't recall the episode, but it was addressed a few months back?? Scott, I too googled nattokinase and K2 both have huge benefit to the heart. I am no doctor, rather the opposite, was a banker. Best of luck. Cheers from Canada.

Time to reset the resetters.
“The same way they did it to us” . ‘Nuf said. Ed
I concur.
Good Point. Randomized controlled clinical trials shouldn’t be used as excuse to ignore observed real consequences of recipient patients.
Succinct summation. 100%

"The shameful stupor of the medical profession has been induced by pharmaceutical companies in partnership with government agencies..."
...by generous incentives of money flowing with the recommended (or mandatory) treatment protocols as determined by same. In other words, GREED.

I read many years ago that General Mills paid for a new medical research building at Harvard when it backed the new food pyramid.

I'm not advising anyone of anything but hoping I can point you/them to work that's given me confidence to decline radiation & hormone therapy--or at least "postpone" it. I'm struggling w/ comorbidities, and endocrine therapy would sink me.
Thanks for asking--sorry for the essay but I started typing & couldn't stop. :-) Drop me a PM if you want. Good luck!
I found this study (originally from Sweden) that can be helpful for women faced with the prospects of radiation therapy. It can predict its effectiveness. The study flat out states RT remains controversial. Thought you would be interested. I am taking the test. https://preludedx.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/PREDICT-Registry-Publication_Ann-Surg-Oncol.pdf
I needed the essay. Never apologize. I am taking it all in. Thank you!
Good Gawsh, We treated every Patient.with respect, dignity and our direct attention and all of our accumulated knowledge…What a “****” show, in many cases, these days. Ed
I had a reaaly “nice” fall hiking and down hill into a rocky creek bed. Zero “doctor”, I patched up wounds…Yep, this is a gonna be a 3 month heal. Coughing/sneezing, activities of daily living and sleeping sucked. 🏴☠️🤣🔥
Sorry to hear this Ed Injuries at any age hurt, but me, at 64, they seem to hurt worse. Feel better!
Thank You. I’m fine. You be Safe. We are not 26 anymore. But still Kind!!! Ed
Were you involved in new drug research programs? Who had the oversight?
First…Not in drug research. Primary care of people in need. We did whatever it took.. We used our brains…Ideas…I built, what I called “the walkinking station” in my garage using a parachute rigging harness with pulllies to on/off load. What if people were in such horrific pain, they could not tolerate physical therapy. 10-15mg of diazepam. 3 hours in exam room sleeping/meditating; then, safely driven home. it was simple, sometimes very complex. First, Do NO harm. Ed
Edit - Repurposed drugs.
One of my favorite adverbs is "evidently." Evidence has implications and in most cases imputations of causality.
A car explodes at a US/Canada border crossing. That's evidence (that a car exploded). First theory on causality: terrorist incident. Further investigation finds no terrorist connections. Next theory: medical emergency of driver (supported by driver seems to be an "upright" citizen, going to a KISS concert - indicating vaccination required). My guess: a vaccine-induced medical emergency, a vaxxident.
Apparently the model of Bentley involved had a problem with accelerator sticking, and an image of the event shows emission of smoke, as if the driver was braking hard against a very powerful engine. https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/new-china-flu-saturday-november-25?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=463409&post_id=139150460&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=3m05n&utm_medium=email
Brakes are always much more powerful than the engine. Back in the 1980s, when the Audi 5000 was accused of having a sticky accelerator pedal, Car and Driver magazine did some braking-distance tests, both the normal way with no throttle, and also at full throttle. The braking distances were identical. The engine cannot overpower the brakes.
I don't know what went wrong here, but it wasn't that. (The probability that the brakes failed at exactly the same moment that the accelerator stuck is too remote to consider.)
Yes, taxpayer, I saw that article. It mentions that the sticky accelerator problem had been fixed in the latest models.
Everyone familiar with the Rely tampon study probably knew at least one female on that study who had a bad reaction (I did) and was “removed from the study”. This went on until they killed the wife of a c.d.c. muckety muck and toxic shock syndrome was allowed to be discovered. I do not see how any study can be labeled blind, much less ethical, when conducted by the maker of the product tested. Venality too slippery a slope to be ignored in matters this important.
I remember the marketing jingle for Rely tampons: "Remember, They Named It Rely."
Yeah, right, I remember that the tampons gave women toxic shock syndrome... reliably.
It makes me wonder how "Safe and Effective" will be remembered in a decade or two.
I love this line "Nature works in fact by every subatomic particle and quantum of energy interacting with absolutely every other one according to the ways or laws that nature operates." But "the science is settled!" These usurpers want to classify, contain and control everything under the sun, and a good place to begin is "the science" which has replaced religion in the minds of many.
Oh, for the(old) days of family doctors that made house calls...the ones the Trial Lawyers killed off.
I too miss those (old) family doctors but I think the trail lawyers were not that important in killing them off. The corporatization of medicine was the culprit, along with government intrusion in health care and drug company corruption that tweaked the practice of medicine in service of pharmaceutical profits. I think we need trial lawyers to pursue the pharmaceutical companies and their puppets to the ends of the earth for their false claims about the "safe and effective" Covid shots. Mostly we need massive political change that shrinks the administrative state, removes immunity statutes for drug companies, and lets the hounds of hell loose on the corporate and governmental monsters who committed these crimes
GREAT comment. 200% how I and many people I am talking with think. We were hoodwinked. Medical Practitioners at every level have been coerced, deceived and intimidated by government and pharmaceutical war against them. Time to set them free.
If you think back to the early 1970s, MDJD, THAT was the era where the Trial Lawyers began unending lawsuits agains MDs - which resulted in ever escalating costs to consumers because the MDs had to pay ever escalating medical MALPRACTICE insurance costs, and many general MD's just quit or retired.
I was practicing medicine in the 1980s and remember it well. But to blame malpractice lawyers for the disaster that is modern corporate medicine is to miss the correct diagnosis by a mile. Trial lawyers are a straw man adversary of the past that distracts from the modern culprits and allows the corporate criminals to continue killing and maiming people with impunity. It is a classic illustration of fighting the last war instead of focusing on the current adversary.
The bottom line to me, who works for many physicians, is if you want respect, you treat the patient's issues, you do not follow protocol's. set up by insurance companies. I have a very dear friend who recently went to MD Anderson in AZ. They told her how they would treat her nodule of the breast.
She asked many questions about why they recommend what they recommend and at the end of the appointment she knew that this was a 'cancer machine'.
She went elsewhere and is doing well, without million dollar chemotherapy. Big pharma loses, she wins.
At the end of the day, I am not fan of drug companies who mislead doctors to feel as if they do not prescribe drugs for a symptom, they could be sued.
The definition of coercion is to strong-arm them to do what they are told without any evidence. This is very disconcerting to me.
I believe you are totally correct vis-'a-vis "modern corporate" medicine, MDJD.
My point is that back then - with the Trial Lawyers scalp hunting the general MD profession - and individual "family" doctors being easy pickings- that traditional form of medicine vanished
in the USA; and actual costs of medical care for the average American family started to skyrocket along with individual and family medical insurance premiums.
Speaking of the Trial Lawyers, one rarely hears the term these days.
Maybe not for everyone, but this is exactly the kind of content I hope to find on this blog. Extremely helpful!
I applaud you and Dr. Risch for different reasons. You for posting this piece from Dr. Risch, even though you may have reservations about his conflict of interests, and for him stating them. Thank you for continuing to post important points of view. Waking up is hard to do, breaking up is even harder.
Another variable is Pharma financing studies by researchers anxious to “ prove” that their new drug is a winner ($). The winners in this game of “research” produce studies validating the new drug or vaccine. Contrary studies get no Pharma kudos.
Drug representatives then go out to doctors’ offices with glossy brochures trying to convince them that they should add another drug to the 12 being already taken by their diabetic patients. These people also have kidney disease, hypertension and cholesterol issues. Many of them are obese, and are asking for the new obesity drug.
When it comes to research funded by Pharma, “ follow the money “
I remember Dr. Harvey Risch gave testimony during Dr. Reiner Fuellmich’s Grand Jury Court of Public Opinion trials; I remember him being quite agitated and impatient with the process as he knew that the policies and the science were erroneous, dangerous, and deadly. He was impatient that the medical community were hesitating to call out the disastrous policies based on false premises. He wanted to speak his mind loudly, joining with others, but most were afraid to go against the narrative. His stance was along a different path than Dr. Malones. He had a more technical approach with his peers, while Dr. Malone joined the fight on several fronts, more of which engaged both the medical and scientific community as well as the common man and woman dealing with the overwhelming effects of both the virus policy as well as the vaccine mandated policy. I believe that was and still is Reiner Fuellmich’s fight as well, more geared to the damage to humanity at large. I pray that all the battles will one day wake up a larger percentage of the population and the medical, scientific community. We have a battle against evil on our hands.
The fallacy is for the public health officials to ignore the information about the safety and efficacy of repurposed drugs.
Public Health needs a complete overhaul. Bottom up and fire from the top down.
I distinctly remember the ‘it’s the data’ ‘it the science’ Weasel on TV the day he glorified Remdesivir. Oh look, we have a drug that is very effective. My group authorized a study of Remdesivir, a highly powered randomized placebo-controlled trial with about a thousand ninety plus individuals. It was an international study with sites around the world. The end point was the time to recovery. We have a ‘data safety monitoring board’ that looks at the data, they are independent so there is no prejudice. The Board notified me and the study teams around the world on April xx that the data shows it has a significant, positive effect in diminishing the time to recover. It also trended for less deaths than in the placebo group, 8% to 11%. We are making the announcement now because whenever you have clear cut evidence a drug works you have an ethical obligations to let those in the placebo group know they can have access . . . .
[And on the other hand, when you have fact based evidence that patients get better with repurposed drugs you have an obligation to stop the use of such drugs until the Weasel finds a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial with 100% effective results …]
I see Confounders, all the way down.
I've had occasion to review around 200 peer-reviewed articles & watch conf presentation videos in the past four months, and can truly say that my "rhetoric of science" graduate coursework & years pulling together initiatives in research development did my prepare me for the perfidy of the 21st century medical/corporate pharma state. When does publishing a manuscript go from humbling yourself to revisions to reflect consensus, or grumbling about how this or that editor makes a routine change to flatter her doctoral chair, to study design that regularly silences the very patients the funded "research" is purported to help?
Well, as just one example, I found dozens of sexist comments & assumptions about women in breast cancer journals & presentations w/r/t endocrine therapy that were manifestly not apparent when prostate cancer patients are advised to a similar therapy, though typically w/ only moderate side effects.
But once a Pharma-company has bought a predetermined conclusion through institutional coupling w/ tenure-seeking research clinicians at grant-seeking institutions, the citation to that conclusion gains traction thru research metrics & in popular, uncritical mainstream press (also reading from press releases). We've seen shaky citations flow promote manifest falsehoods about transgender ideology, attempt to undercut evidence supporting the emerging metabolic paradigm, claim a national epidemic of prescription opioid or benzo addiction then only 8% of chronic patients at most become addicted and even then the tradeoffs are sometimes worth it, or undercut a neutral Cochrane review that didn't accuse mask-refusers of genocide. But psychologically, even readers/believers/clinicians who didn't have a stake in these issues will, by repeating weak or false conclusions, will develop a bias toward defending them, since to admit disseminating incorrect & even politically motivated guidance requires the resolution of a lot of cognitive dissonance.
Did you know that in Japan, there is no COVID? Double blind evidence based testing has Nattokinase can and destroy blood clots, And along with K2-MK7 remove the calcium from your arteries. It was also shown to destroy COVID spikes and the vaccine and long COVID.
We injures our arteries Dailey so we need Nattokinase at 8,000 FU'S per day.
Wow, I had never heard of nattokinase. Dr. Malone, any comments on this?
I have been taking it daily for months now.
Dr Malone did comment on the nattokinase when a subscriber posted something in regards to that supplement. I don't recall the episode, but it was addressed a few months back?? Scott, I too googled nattokinase and K2 both have huge benefit to the heart. I am no doctor, rather the opposite, was a banker. Best of luck. Cheers from Canada.
