These things always cycle. In the future they will be gone, and further down the road they will probably come back again. One of the things that helps my outlook on life is to always recognize I am part of a larger cycle.
Martin Armstrong, a very astute financial professional, feels the same about cycles, and has built a marvelous computer that tracks everything in life...Wars, plagues, coinage, history, philosophy. Etc, and us so accurate that the federal govt kept him locked up for 11 years, to convince him to give them the program.
He refused, and publishes most of his blog for free. His belief in cycles vs. linear events is Asian in its outlook, and highly predictive in nature. I think you would find him interesting.
Of all the substacks I read, I enjoy yours the most. You only post when you have something cogent to share and You do an excellent job of bridging the knowledge gap between lay people and professionals.
"Dermatology’s misguided crusade against the sun."
Doc, I hope if you get to address this topic you will also examine the role (or lack thereof) that sunscreens play in skin cancers. I have no scientific background, but when I look at the ingredients on my bottle of Coppertone Sport it sure doesn't look like a list of the Greatest Hits of Health and Well-Being. Is this another case of creating fear, pushing everyone toward a "remedy", only to have us find out later that the remedy was worse than the purported threat? That's my gut feeling, but I don't have the background to verify.
I hope another piece might be the accumulating evidence that linoleic acid, which now composes a non-evolutionary proportion of the average diet, strongly impacts sun damage, as well as altering metabolic processes and contributing to obesity and all the associated metabolic dysfunctions we are seeing in recent decades.
I'm so tired of fears surrounding the most healthy things in life, with the remedies introducing medical issues requiring treatment. It's not natural for people to stay inside, sitting all the time.
I am well into curing my chronic insomnia through regular exposure to sunlight during the day, and staying away from LEDs and most light during the night. What a concept! :-)
I stopped using sun screens long ago. Got tired of being played, ingredient-wise.
Thank you very much for all your work. If you have a minute to spare, would you recommend any alternative to protect the skin from excessive sun exposure?
I also think if you have the correct mix of fats and improve the zeta potential of the body, the skin can tolerate a lot more sunlight exposure.
I am completely undecided on what the best type of sunscreen to use it (or natural alternative), but I think the metallic particle ones (esp zinc) are much better than the ones with chemicals that absorb the light. I never use sunscreen though.
JOHN...thank you for addressing this! I grew up having my mom tell me how bad the sun was. Now, at 59. I realize how wrong she was! I’ve loved the sun my entire life. No wonder my grandma never got sick. She died in her 90’s. 🌞☀️🌞☀️...your body NEEDS this, just like everything else!
Dr Joseph Mercola has discussed how he thinks consumption of linoleic acids in the processed American diet is what causes the skin to burn. I am sure if you stayed out all day long with no protection you may burn regardless!
I was misdiagnosed with a melanoma in my parotid start of 2020 before I worked out in Sept that year what was going on and stopped the immuno-therapy I was on. My cancer was supposedly very rare. I have strong words as to what I think of the doctors who misdiagnosed me. The real initial cause was this, but the immuno-therapy has added to my issues.
I read your article about bacon awhile back. SUPER interesting! I am a cancer survivor (damn that sounds weird), so now I’m very vigilant what I eat. Doctors DO NOT know everything, do they? WE are our best health care providers!
Spot on, we must take responsibility for our individual health. The heavenly Father says to His darling children, I gave you all you need including the brains to understand your bodies and the Holy Spirit, the wholly spirit, to search your souls so that you may be well in every respect, body and soul.
And if you get stuck I am here always.
P.S. The beautiful unseen angels, my messengers can be busy so do not always expect an immediate reply!
The primary reason dermatologists go crazy over skin cancers is because they make a lot of money treating them. The entire speciality was rebranded a few decades ago to do that, and while it makes tons of money, it hasn't actually reduced the cancer deaths.
My grandmother is 101. Never vaccinated for anything, sun worshipper and fiercely critical of pill poppers. Has to be something in it! She's also never had covid.
Once we stopped eating vegetable oils and went to natural fats like avocado and butter we stopped burning in the sun. Only exception is when we are at the pool with the water reflecting the sun back on us.
It is appalling what medical institutions have done to vilify the sun and its beneficial rays whilst covering up for big pharma's noxious chemicals. There is no need to use the manufactured sun creams etc. which invariably contain toxins and cause the cancers they are supposed to prevent as well a blocking the suns rays.
I tell of my research and experience here if you are interested.
Isn’t retinyl palmitate (form of vitamin A?) in many as well as some benzine rings that are know to be cancer causing? Especially when UV hits the RP on the skin? I have read that in European countries, they do not have that pesky FDA forbidding them from using different (possibly safer) chemicals in their sunscreens. I subscribe to the Environmental Working Group and they have a Skin Deep database where you can search for safer sunscreens and beauty products to use. Shocking that I have discovered some of my products to be somewhat toxic!
It’s absolutely amazing what is put in everything we put on/in our bodies: soap, shampoo, makeup, dishwashing detergent, clothes detergent…I read all labels now! I’ll check that site out, thank you!
I recently found that all those damn "sodium lauryl sulfate" related chemicals that cause so much skin damage were snuck right back in to "eco" products on the excuse that THIS TIME they are natural. The creeps. I've switched back to Dr Bronners liquid soap. No more expensive eco brands that lie.
All I use is Dr. Bronner’s. I bought a gallon of Sal’s Suds (also a Dr. Bronner product) for cleaning as well. If you go on their site, there is much more variety than what you can find in a store/Amazon (I hate using Amazon).
The big issue is that the main really bad skin cancer, melanoma, actually has almost nothing to do with sunlight exposure (a good case can also be made that it results from a lack of sunlight exposure). Most of the sun caused skin cancers are relative benign.
I don't know either but I was developing liver spots 20 years ago (at age 45-50) and they've since disappeared again. I changed in about 2004 to a higher fat, lower-carb. diet. I probably also eat more saturated and mono-unsaturated fats than I did and not quite as many poly-unsaturated fats.
Bingo! Not only that, but sunscreen is full of dangerous chemicals. Everyone should sit in the sun 15-30 minutes/day. ..no sunscreen. The D3 needs to get into your dermis. And if you work nights and sleep during the day, it’s even more important. Just my opinion!
"The D3 needs to get into your dermis." Very true. And don't wash off the essentials oils with soap, the unexposed bits will suffice for that. I am told in can take up to 48 hrs for the oils to be absorbed.
I have always wondered, in this push towards sunscreen and sun fear, why people like the native Americans, or other indigenous peoples who spend most of their lives outdoors, did not all die from skin cancer if the sun was so toxic? That being said, being fair skinned, and with an indoor job (don't spend extended time outdoors on a regular basis), I do slather on the sunscreen if I am at an all day outdoor event, after having suffered a couple of bad sunburn episodes. In that case, the remedy is better than the threat, but am not one to put it on just because I am working in the yard or going outdoors.
The thing is to boost vitamin D which both protects from sunburn and helps the healing process. I am fair skin, not excessively fair but used to burn easily. This link of mine might interest you.
The overall thing is that the lower your vit D the more you burn, the more you burn the less you want to into the sun, a downward spiral.
One needs to reverse it so that as D levels increase you tolerate more sun and all being well doing the right things (and avoiding sunstroke and dehydration) you will be more inclined for the sunshine.
Donna, I suspect the answer regarding indigenous peoples is that their typically darker skin is an evolutionary adaptation to the outdoor conditions they’ve historically endured. Another theory might be that with their shorter lifespans something else killed them before skin cancer could fully manifest. Or maybe they did die from skin cancer and we just don’t know. I’m not advocating for any of these, just thinking out loud. Or online, LOL.
Yes, it's a morass trying to suss reality from the narrative. Our life expectancy has basically doubled since 1900, so the longer we live, the more chance we are going to encounter (insert malady here). And one minute, coffee is bad for you, then it isn't then it is again? Or bacon. Or eggs. I guess we just need to skip breakfast, lol. Worry can kill you too! Saw a really good study on anxiety and its effect on the immune system....
They just live healthier lives outdoors typically or used to at least. The colonists weren't too keen and manged to largely destroy their way of life.
Cancers are essentially due to toxic poisoning but organisations such as the American Cancer Society not very keen on people knowing that as big pharma might stop supporting them and their staff salaries.
Your efforts and the efforts of thousands of courageous doctors like you have had enormous positive impacts. You have gotten the truth out to more and more people, even in the face of extreme censorship and attacks. Nothing can stop truth. I commend you for all you have done. It’s important you know that your actions work. You are succeeding in your mission. It’s human nature to dwell on negatives. But the positives far outweigh the negatives in terms of educating and enlightening people about this falsely inflated virus and it’s deadly “vaccines.“
I wanted to note that one of the things that is very tricky here is finding the correct words to address some of the complex nuanced topics we are dealing with, but your phrasing at the end is remarkably spot on:
people about this falsely inflated virus and it’s deadly “vaccines.“
Thanks. You've done a terrific job articulating the situation. I've posted a couple of your articles on social media, because they expresses the truth and lies perfectly. The most important point I wanted to make is that what you've been doing WORKS. You have educated lots of people, more than you might be aware. Communication works, truth can't be stopped as long as it's communicated. There really is a "silent majority" out there.
I am doing everything I can think of to write these in a way that they will red-pill the silent majority so I am very happy to see that those results are playing out in the real world : )
Your writings as a physician dealing with Covid not only convey a much needed perspective of rigorous honesty (sorely lacking within the halls of medicine as a whole), they also share an expression of heart space.
Yes I would become a paid subscriber, not for any special subscriber only, but because I like supporting the journalists/writers here who really delve into it without putting personality front and center.
Your philosophy in medicine is similar to my wife's, who retired from an alternative practice ten years ago to pause and heal.
I have appreciated the way you present information and am grateful to you for this substack.
Board certified family practice. She did accept insurance, to be able to provide to more people but hated dealing with the bureaucracy. She is currently focused on what she calls "Renology" or the art and science of kidney success as opposed to the nocebo of kidney failure, helping people with ckd improve their kidney function and guiding physicians, after realizing that primary care hadn't a clue, and nephrology isn't interested. Lots of money in kidney failure. Not in kidney success
As far as I know this has not been written in a paper and you would need to read Riddick's orginal book on the subject (control of colloidal stability through zeta potential).
Cilantro and parsley are great heavy metal detoxifiers . I know of a friend who was getting dialysis 3 x a week ( chronic). His wife would give him cilantro water and his dialysis sessions have reduced to once a week . I have tried soaking one tablespoon organic cilantro seeds in water at night , next morning strain out the seeds and drink the water . My instincts just tell me that the cilantro water must be clearing some blocks in the kidney ... would love to do more analysis on this . Just sharing an anecdote. Ayverdic medicine uses this as well.
So glad you decided to start posting on Substack. IMHO, you are the #1 Substack...I have learned more about the medical system and iatrogenesis from you than from anyone else. Your depth and breadth of knowledge, open-mindedness to so many different ideas, and obvious compassion for humanity are amazing. You are the only Substack I consistently read...also, I get the whole anonymity thing...my VAERS website (put up in May 2021 spurred by similar motivations) is completely anonymous.
One thing I meant to tell you. If you ever want to write a detailed article about your experiences as a whistleblower in the NIH etc, I would be happy to publish it for you (especially if I can add commentary to make it even more compelling).
Enjoying your insights. Would be interested in telling you my story here in Arkansas where we treated over 10,000 cases of Covid with great success, only 27 deaths (primarily patients who came to us already with severe Covid pneumonia). At the states second largest jail we had over 2,000 cases and zero deaths.
One topic I was wondering about is what people like you and the other critical doctors think about the future of those who would consider going into the medical field.
It seemed difficult enough for currently employed doctors to deal with the vaccine/mandate situation, and that's for people who already had a decade or more of professional experience.
Now it seems like almost all the schools have embraced the c-19 vax madness. How could people starting on the outside even have a chance? Could they even get placed in residencies, or even accepted into medical schools if they opposed these products? From a mere procedural standpoint, how would the application even be able to be completed if they refused to get the jabs.
What does this mean for the next generation of doctors? Are they all going to be Jordon Walker types?
Are there alternative routes? Different countries? Schools outside the mainstream?
In a matter of time, there may be the bird flu mRNA injectable products to contend with as well.
There is always a way, but I admit I am so grateful I don't have to deal with this now, especially due to how frequently I encounter medical students with significant vaccine complications. I haven't checked into this in depth, but I know Florida has passed laws to outlaw mandatory COVID vaccination.
This would be wonderful, doctor. Please do keep us in formed should this come to fruition. My daughter and the handful of her medical school classmates who reject the woke, big pharma/ big medicine indoctrination that be begins on day one of medical school, would welcome a parallel system.
Thank you for your substack. I very much appreciate your thoughtful and grounded contemplations.
Is American College of Physicians and Surgeons sort of like that?
By the way, I just posted a contract of Baric's from 2014 that someone said was scrubbed from the internet. It's at https://covidandvaxfaqs.substack.com/p/baric-contract-scrubbed-from-internet . Maybe someone didn't want the public to find out about it, though I don't know if it's incriminating. But they were preparing for a pandemic at that time.
I fear I may have developed a grave and persistent cynicism with regard to doctors. The fact that I read your Substack gives me some hope that I might yet learn to trust one.
This can often be a great option for people (assuming the find the right person) and was one of the options I was thinking of what I wrote the conclusion to the medical gaslighting article.
Yes, concierge doctors are an EXCELLENT option, too. We kinda have both health sharing AND a doc we use as a quasi-concierge. But VERY good point, Mandi!! Thanks for bringing this up!
At least check out Health Sharing Plans. We use Liberty Health Share, but there are others. Our coverage was 1/3 the price of my "regular" coverage before I started consulting, with MUCH BETTER coverage.
If possible, could you please share some more about this. I will be checking into these soon. Any downsides? I don't know anyone personally using these, so any info helpful. Thanks!
The best thing about health sharing plans is that they are typically much cheaper than normal insurance and often cover much more of what you actually need.
Well, all I can tell you is that for my wife and I, the cost was literally about 1/3, and we literally had far superior coverage. We liked Liberty Health Share, out of Ohio I believe, because they had one free annual checkup per year. But there are other competitors, such as Medishare, Christian Health Share, Samaritans, and others. Just do a web search for "health sharing plans" (and please do NOT use Google if you are still using them. They are EVIL. Why feed the crocodile that is only planning to eat you later that afternoon? Try Brave instead of Chrome (Brave.com, free) and their search engine, or search engines SwissCows, Ecosia, Freespoke, Presearch. I can't recommend DuckDuckGo anymore as they sold out, and StartPage is questionable)
So.... the question is, HOW do they do it? Simple. No drug usage, no smoking, very minimal alcohol, many require church attendance, and then the negotiate prices. If you are not a church goer, some just ask that you sign on to medical liberty, etc. But again, a web search will help you. **THEN LET OTHERS KNOW!** We need to starve the beast in all its manifold forms....
For the LIFE of me, I simple cannot understand why everyone isn't using this... but meanwhile, I got an extra $700/month.
Thanks for all the work you do. As you know, Margaret Mead was not a good person, and her Coming of Age in Samoa was later outed as being a complete fraud, but in her corpus of (bad and lying) work, she got one quote right: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." And that, mon ami, is what you are our merry little band of substackers (McCullough, Malone, Kirsch, Crawford, et al) are precisely doing! Keep up the great work!
I subscribe to a number of different doctors' and researchers' communications, and of them all I find yours to be the clearest in its information and explanations, best supported by available evidence, calm in tone, and well-balanced....therefore I'm more inclined to trust what you present than I am with some others. And with regard to the list of topics you propose for the future, all I can say is wow, wow, wow, bring it on - I am so much looking forward to reading them all.
So appreciate everything you've written to advance topics forwards, and given your readers an engaging space to discuss, add on, etc. Much gratitude for you being on the planet during this time and stepping up in fulfilling your role during this evolutionary journey.
Thank you for letting us know more about you, Doctor. And, thank you, for your brave stand for medical truth and quality care.
I look forward to reading about the many future topics you mentioned.
Thank you too!

Olive oil would be fine.
https://alphaandomegacloud.wordpress.com/2021/07/22/sunshine-sunburn-and-sunstroke/
There's mounting evidence that avoiding vegetable oil might help.
JOHN...thank you for addressing this! I grew up having my mom tell me how bad the sun was. Now, at 59. I realize how wrong she was! I’ve loved the sun my entire life. No wonder my grandma never got sick. She died in her 90’s. 🌞☀️🌞☀️...your body NEEDS this, just like everything else!

A lot of this was worked out by Johanna Budwig years ago.
Here's a good place to starton skin cancers:
https://robynchuter.substack.com/p/skin-cancer-checks-life-saver-or
I have had a quick look and I will try and look in more detail although I suspect I aware of most of it. You know why the sun is vilified?
The sun is the sun created by God so it is vilified.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God so He is vilified.
I wrote this myself on sunshine etc.

Hello Renee
If you are interested I wrote this on Palm Sunday which is on my new substack page as well as on my WordPress site.
https://baldmichael.substack.com/p/palm-sunday-2nd-april-2023
👍…excellent!
The primary reason dermatologists go crazy over skin cancers is because they make a lot of money treating them. The entire speciality was rebranded a few decades ago to do that, and while it makes tons of money, it hasn't actually reduced the cancer deaths.
My grandmother is 101. Never vaccinated for anything, sun worshipper and fiercely critical of pill poppers. Has to be something in it! She's also never had covid.
Sensible woman. She had plenty of vitamin D for a start, D for Defense.
Covid is the 'flu made out to be a monster by the usual culprits big pharma and their minions.
https://alphaandomegacloud.wordpress.com/2022/08/17/what-is-the-flu-a-k-a-covid-19-and-why-vaccines-are-pointless-at-best/
Thanks for that link Shane.
Ah yes, the Book of Cyril.
And just think, all the horrid UV Palin got hanging out with Brian.
Once we stopped eating vegetable oils and went to natural fats like avocado and butter we stopped burning in the sun. Only exception is when we are at the pool with the water reflecting the sun back on us.
No more sunscreen.
One of the well known cancer diets (the budwig diet) is based on this principle.
Iodine helps with avoiding sunburn, also.
Sounds interesting. What's the single best source that you've found to verify that?
Thanks.
The antioxidant astaxanthin which is in krill oil protects against sunburn.
It is appalling what medical institutions have done to vilify the sun and its beneficial rays whilst covering up for big pharma's noxious chemicals. There is no need to use the manufactured sun creams etc. which invariably contain toxins and cause the cancers they are supposed to prevent as well a blocking the suns rays.

A New Zealand writer named Ian Wishart wrote a book a number of years ago called Vitamin D.
In the book there was a chapter or two designated to the sunscreen myth and scandals.
Sunscreen can decrease sunburn.
Sunscreen does prevent or reduce the chance of a couple of types of cancers
Sunscreen however doesn't prevent all skin cancers.
Worse, because people believe it does, they stay for much longer in the sun and therefore increase their risk of developing those cancers.
The big issue is that the main really bad skin cancer, melanoma, actually has almost nothing to do with sunlight exposure (a good case can also be made that it results from a lack of sunlight exposure). Most of the sun caused skin cancers are relative benign.
Are Liver Spots triggered by the sun?
I do not know.
I don't know either but I was developing liver spots 20 years ago (at age 45-50) and they've since disappeared again. I changed in about 2004 to a higher fat, lower-carb. diet. I probably also eat more saturated and mono-unsaturated fats than I did and not quite as many poly-unsaturated fats.
Overall, I think more studies are needed.
Bingo! Not only that, but sunscreen is full of dangerous chemicals. Everyone should sit in the sun 15-30 minutes/day. ..no sunscreen. The D3 needs to get into your dermis. And if you work nights and sleep during the day, it’s even more important. Just my opinion!
"The D3 needs to get into your dermis." Very true. And don't wash off the essentials oils with soap, the unexposed bits will suffice for that. I am told in can take up to 48 hrs for the oils to be absorbed.

It was the swing shift that messed up my sleep for a lifetime. All those huge fluorescents (heavy blue light) all evening long, for years.
I have always wondered, in this push towards sunscreen and sun fear, why people like the native Americans, or other indigenous peoples who spend most of their lives outdoors, did not all die from skin cancer if the sun was so toxic? That being said, being fair skinned, and with an indoor job (don't spend extended time outdoors on a regular basis), I do slather on the sunscreen if I am at an all day outdoor event, after having suffered a couple of bad sunburn episodes. In that case, the remedy is better than the threat, but am not one to put it on just because I am working in the yard or going outdoors.
This is always a great question to ask dermatologists! When I feel my skin is past its limit, I tend to put a hat on.
You bring up a great point when you use the word,"push." Whenever I sense a "push" for this or that is being made, I turn and run the other way.
The thing is to boost vitamin D which both protects from sunburn and helps the healing process. I am fair skin, not excessively fair but used to burn easily. This link of mine might interest you.
https://alphaandomegacloud.wordpress.com/2021/07/22/sunshine-sunburn-and-sunstroke/
The overall thing is that the lower your vit D the more you burn, the more you burn the less you want to into the sun, a downward spiral.
One needs to reverse it so that as D levels increase you tolerate more sun and all being well doing the right things (and avoiding sunstroke and dehydration) you will be more inclined for the sunshine.
I'm lucky in that I don't burn easily but part of that is that I spend a lot of time outdoors but I never considered the vit D aspect. Thanks!
Find a natural sunscreen for those days like badger or thinksport.
Or zinc oxide? Or maybe just smear some clay on the skin.
Dressing appropriately is another good idea.
Thanks for the recommendation.
Love badger for their baby ointment and their sore muscle balm. Both excellent. What's in their sunscreen, do you know?
Donna, I suspect the answer regarding indigenous peoples is that their typically darker skin is an evolutionary adaptation to the outdoor conditions they’ve historically endured.

And one minute, coffee is bad for you, then it isn't then it is again? Or bacon. Or eggs. I guess we just need to skip breakfast, lol. Worry can kill you too! Saw a really good study on anxiety and its effect on the immune system....
Bacon would be ok if it wasn't poisoned along with other food.

They just live healthier lives outdoors typically or used to at least. The colonists weren't too keen and manged to largely destroy their way of life.
Cancers are essentially due to toxic poisoning but organisations such as the American Cancer Society not very keen on people knowing that as big pharma might stop supporting them and their staff salaries.
Evolution is a lie. Adaptation within a kind, as designed is it
Your efforts and the efforts of thousands of courageous doctors like you have had enormous positive impacts. You have gotten the truth out to more and more people, even in the face of extreme censorship and attacks. Nothing can stop truth. I commend you for all you have done. It’s important you know that your actions work. You are succeeding in your mission. It’s human nature to dwell on negatives. But the positives far outweigh the negatives in terms of educating and enlightening people about this falsely inflated virus and it’s deadly “vaccines.“
Thank you.
I wanted to note that one of the things that is very tricky here is finding the correct words to address some of the complex nuanced topics we are dealing with, but your phrasing at the end is remarkably spot on:
people about this falsely inflated virus and it’s deadly “vaccines.“
Thanks. You've done a terrific job articulating the situation. I've posted a couple of your articles on social media, because they expresses the truth and lies perfectly. The most important point I wanted to make is that what you've been doing WORKS. You have educated lots of people, more than you might be aware. Communication works, truth can't be stopped as long as it's communicated. There really is a "silent majority" out there.
I am doing everything I can think of to write these in a way that they will red-pill the silent majority so I am very happy to see that those results are playing out in the real world : )
It's especially difficult to communicate only in written words but you do a masterful job. I'm glad I came here. Thanks for what you do.
Truth has been sidelined for a long time. Nothing can stop truth when God wants it known.
..and He most certainly does!!!
I’m looking forward to reading every single post, doc. Really.
Thank you so much for your kind words : )
Me, too!
Your writings as a physician dealing with Covid not only convey a much needed perspective of rigorous honesty (sorely lacking within the halls of medicine as a whole), they also share an expression of heart space.
One grain of sand at a time 🙏.

Yes I would become a paid subscriber, not for any special subscriber only, but because I like supporting the journalists/writers here who really delve into it without putting personality front and center.
Your philosophy in medicine is similar to my wife's, who retired from an alternative practice ten years ago to pause and heal.
I have appreciated the way you present information and am grateful to you for this substack.
Thank you
Thank you! What field did she work in?
Board certified family practice. She did accept insurance, to be able to provide to more people but hated dealing with the bureaucracy. She is currently focused on what she calls "Renology" or the art and science of kidney success as opposed to the nocebo of kidney failure, helping people with ckd improve their kidney function and guiding physicians, after realizing that primary care hadn't a clue, and nephrology isn't interested. Lots of money in kidney failure. Not in kidney success
One thing I will mention is that renal function is heavily tied to zeta potential.
Can you direct me to a paper about this. A quick search only showed info re dialysis
As far as I know this has not been written in a paper and you would need to read Riddick's orginal book on the subject (control of colloidal stability through zeta potential).
Thanks. Aloha
Cilantro and parsley are great heavy metal detoxifiers . I know of a friend who was getting dialysis 3 x a week ( chronic). His wife would give him cilantro water and his dialysis sessions have reduced to once a week . I have tried soaking one tablespoon organic cilantro seeds in water at night , next morning strain out the seeds and drink the water . My instincts just tell me that the cilantro water must be clearing some blocks in the kidney ... would love to do more analysis on this . Just sharing an anecdote. Ayverdic medicine uses this as well.
So glad you decided to start posting on Substack. IMHO, you are the #1 Substack...I have learned more about the medical system and iatrogenesis from you than from anyone else. Your depth and breadth of knowledge, open-mindedness to so many different ideas, and obvious compassion for humanity are amazing. You are the only Substack I consistently read...also, I get the whole anonymity thing...my VAERS website (put up in May 2021 spurred by similar motivations) is completely anonymous.
Thank you :)
I am happy I have an audience that prefers quality over quantity.
Congrats Midwest Doc, on a year of solid work and amazing reach!
I look forward to reading more of it in the year ahead.

Thank you!
One thing I meant to tell you. If you ever want to write a detailed article about your experiences as a whistleblower in the NIH etc, I would be happy to publish it for you (especially if I can add commentary to make it even more compelling).
Thank you Midwest Doc for your kind offer. I will think about it.
- Laura
Enjoying your insights. Would be interested in telling you my story here in Arkansas where we treated over 10,000 cases of Covid with great success, only 27 deaths (primarily patients who came to us already with severe Covid pneumonia). At the states second largest jail we had over 2,000 cases and zero deaths.
One midwest doc to another,
Rob Karas MD
Thank you for being a light in all of this darkness.
You can be the light too!
I look forward to the next writings.
One topic I was wondering about is what people like you and the other critical doctors think about the future of those who would consider going into the medical field.
It seemed difficult enough for currently employed doctors to deal with the vaccine/mandate situation, and that's for people who already had a decade or more of professional experience.
Now it seems like almost all the schools have embraced the c-19 vax madness. How could people starting on the outside even have a chance? Could they even get placed in residencies, or even accepted into medical schools if they opposed these products? From a mere procedural standpoint, how would the application even be able to be completed if they refused to get the jabs.
What does this mean for the next generation of doctors? Are they all going to be Jordon Walker types?
Are there alternative routes? Different countries? Schools outside the mainstream?
In a matter of time, there may be the bird flu mRNA injectable products to contend with as well.
There is always a way, but I admit I am so grateful I don't have to deal with this now, especially due to how frequently I encounter medical students with significant vaccine complications. I haven't checked into this in depth, but I know Florida has passed laws to outlaw mandatory COVID vaccination.
End the Medical Boards and Drug Company ownership of medical schools etc.
One of the things we've been looking into is if there is any possible way to make a parallel medical board.
This would be wonderful, doctor. Please do keep us in formed should this come to fruition. My daughter and the handful of her medical school classmates who reject the woke, big pharma/ big medicine indoctrination that be begins on day one of medical school, would welcome a parallel system.
Thank you for your substack. I very much appreciate your thoughtful and grounded contemplations.
Is American College of Physicians and Surgeons sort of like that?
By the way, I just posted a contract of Baric's from 2014 that someone said was scrubbed from the internet. It's at https://covidandvaxfaqs.substack.com/p/baric-contract-scrubbed-from-internet . Maybe someone didn't want the public to find out about it, though I don't know if it's incriminating. But they were preparing for a pandemic at that time.
No they are just an advocacy group that files lawsuits. APS is great but they are very different from a medical board.
What have you thought about this? Although unfortunately they do require completing the ABMS test process once first. https://nbpas.org/
Board certification is different from what the medical boards that give licenses oversee.
Ahhh, yes. So a parallel licensing system then, too? That would be amazing. And would take a lot of lobbying at the state legislature level. Sigh.
We can barely get a weak jab X bill from our allegedly red state legislature.
But, yes, definitely worth pursuing.
I fear I may have developed a grave and persistent cynicism with regard to doctors. The fact that I read your Substack gives me some hope that I might yet learn to trust one.
We're all just human
Where does one pledge? Thank you. I really appreciate honesty and wish I could find a local doctor who does not take insurance.
I pay for a concierge doctor. No insurance. I pay her directly once a year.
This can often be a great option for people (assuming the find the right person) and was one of the options I was thinking of what I wrote the conclusion to the medical gaslighting article.
Yes, concierge doctors are an EXCELLENT option, too. We kinda have both health sharing AND a doc we use as a quasi-concierge. But VERY good point, Mandi!! Thanks for bringing this up!
At least check out Health Sharing Plans. We use Liberty Health Share, but there are others. Our coverage was 1/3 the price of my "regular" coverage before I started consulting, with MUCH BETTER coverage.
If possible, could you please share some more about this. I will be checking into these soon. Any downsides? I don't know anyone personally using these, so any info helpful. Thanks!
The best thing about health sharing plans is that they are typically much cheaper than normal insurance and often cover much more of what you actually need.
Well, all I can tell you is that for my wife and I, the cost was literally about 1/3, and we literally had far superior coverage. We liked Liberty Health Share, out of Ohio I believe, because they had one free annual checkup per year. But there are other competitors, such as Medishare, Christian Health Share, Samaritans, and others. Just do a web search for "health sharing plans" (and please do NOT use Google if you are still using them. They are EVIL. Why feed the crocodile that is only planning to eat you later that afternoon? Try Brave instead of Chrome (Brave.com, free) and their search engine, or search engines SwissCows, Ecosia, Freespoke, Presearch. I can't recommend DuckDuckGo anymore as they sold out, and StartPage is questionable)
So.... the question is, HOW do they do it? Simple. No drug usage, no smoking, very minimal alcohol, many require church attendance, and then the negotiate prices. If you are not a church goer, some just ask that you sign on to medical liberty, etc. But again, a web search will help you. **THEN LET OTHERS KNOW!** We need to starve the beast in all its manifold forms....
For the LIFE of me, I simple cannot understand why everyone isn't using this... but meanwhile, I got an extra $700/month.
I often use Yandex because they are the only engine that can frequently find what I am looking for.
Thx. Will check into that.
Thanks for all the work you do. As you know, Margaret Mead was not a good person, and her Coming of Age in Samoa was later outed as being a complete fraud, but in her corpus of (bad and lying) work, she got one quote right: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." And that, mon ami, is what you are our merry little band of substackers (McCullough, Malone, Kirsch, Crawford, et al) are precisely doing! Keep up the great work!
I completely agree with that quote.
You can also write me at my substack, Att Viska (Swedish for to whisper, or be quiet)
Don't see medical doctors. See any other doctor but them.
The pledge box is in orange.
I subscribe to a number of different doctors' and researchers' communications, and of them all I find yours to be the clearest in its information and explanations, best supported by available evidence, calm in tone, and well-balanced....therefore I'm more inclined to trust what you present than I am with some others. And with regard to the list of topics you propose for the future, all I can say is wow, wow, wow, bring it on - I am so much looking forward to reading them all.
Thank you! : )
So appreciate everything you've written to advance topics forwards, and given your readers an engaging space to discuss, add on, etc. Much gratitude for you being on the planet during this time and stepping up in fulfilling your role during this evolutionary journey.
Thank you : )
