Thank you! I have limited time to write, so I only publish things I will feel good about having written long after the fact. Similarly, because so many people read this, I feel I have a responsibility to be respectful of their time and only post things that are worth their time to read.
Thanks for everything you write. You •always• make me think, even (especially?) when your starting point differs from my preferred political stance.
Your "specificity v. sensitivity" analysis of Dobbs overturning Roe is a fine example of expanding my thinking--again, thanks.
I would love to read your opinions on "The castrati: a physician’s perspective" published by hekint.og in 2017. (Part 1 is mostly historical, Part 2 is mostly medical.) I wonder what today's trans activists and the pharma-profiteers would say about the historical, personal, and medical accounts of the pre-pubescent castrated male sopranos.
Just an idea for a column, in case you're not already far too busy with other great ideas and projects.
Me too. Doc is thinking outside the box or presenting a theory few have posited. We need a lot more of this in real science and medicine.
This piece made me think of a piece I wrote about James Holzhauer, the Jeopardy whiz and contrarian who challenged the way that game show had been played for decades.
I think great scientific breakthroughs will occur among those who re-think everything about the Status Quo scientific approaches. This article might be a perfect example of this.
I'd bet a good bit of money he didn't get the vaccine. If nothing else, James Holzhauer understands risks and probabilities. ... Then again, he's now a public figure and still appears on TV including "Jeopardy" promotions ... so he might have been required to get vaccinated to continue with those paying gigs. Then he would have had to calculate the weights of "earning more money" vs. the risk of maybe developing a vax injury.
I'd love to interview James and ask him this question.
I suspect he's avoided most as well. I'm convinced that a lot of the pathetic behavior we see today is somewhat explained by the toxins we're subjected to from cradle to grave in our lovely "industrialized" and very sick society.
Many (important) things have changed that must explain all the bad "public health" results we can see with our own eyes. The "obesity crisis" is the one medical crisis that is NOT exaggerated. There must be many explanations why such a large percentage of our population would now qualify as obese ... but the way they are making and marketing the popular foods must have something to do with this. Big Ag is probably in on it.
Nixons Ag secretary, Earl Butts, needed a way to increase the market for US corn. High Fructose Corn syrup was the result and the proof is in the obese and unhealthy bodies we see today. There is a fascinating book about that sordid history and other political food crimes. Can’t remember the name.
There is a lot of information, however some articles seem to have many typos, and the Goliath birdeater is not an insect haha however it can be interesting information with many of these SO thanks !
I try really hard to write content that appeals to a lot of different audiences rather than the same thing over and over. Similarly, I recognize that some of the things I want to cover will not be accessible to everyone, so in those articles, I try to include parts that still are.
AMD: I appreciate all the scientific detail you go into, even when I might not be familiar with its complexity at first reading. I plan to carefully reread this amazing essay, as well as study the links you provided, which I haven't yet done, and to research some of the concepts you discuss in it. I sincerely request that you not simplify or "dumb down" your writing in any way whatsoever.
The extent of my formal scientific education was high school biology, but I understood this article and I found it not just comprehensible, but revelatory. To be honest, I'm blown away by it. I used to be a therapeutic bodyworker, and I read and learned a lot about the body as part of that holistic training and practice. So my high school biology class wasn't really the end of my study of biology. It was actually only the beginning.
I'm trying to get the best balance I can with that...basically I "dumb things down" as far as I can without any critical details being lost. I think a lot of people in the scientific field make concepts too complicated and there's really no need to, so there's quite a bit of room on that end to simplify things.
I understand that. You are a treasure. I can't tell you how much I appreciate and value all of your work. The depth and breadth of your knowledge as well as your profound humanity are astonishing.
In my 14 years total of schooling there were only 5--maybe 6 teachers that I can honestly say were real teachers--not babysitters.
They were creative, patient and would not allow a student to pass their class unless they were sure the student was ready and had learned that particular subject.
I started school in 1972 when the world was much different than today--schools were different.
Great teachers nowadays are few and far between.
You are as much a great teacher as you are a great doctor. As readers we benefit from both through your articles.
They are very interesting, and written in such a way that everyone understands...
Teaching us as an audience, the good, the bad and the ugly in medicine-- different ideas in medicine from a doctor's perspective, and you do it very well... Thank you!!!
I got a high quality rebounder when I learned that NASA recommends - if you only do one exercise - to bounce. My rebounder has trampoline springs - if the springs is the issue.
I wonder too because i want to get a rebounder instead of a big trampoline out back. I understood it had to do with the top of the trampoline jump. I've tried to look it up but can't even find much on zeta potential. So far I've started with chia seeds. What is the rebounder you have in case i quit my on the fence" lol
I’ve been following your series on water too and grateful for the deep dive. I read about Gerald pollock years ago in Mercolas newsletter. It rocked my world. As a craniosacral therapist and yoga teacher my “mission statement’ is “enhancing fluid movement through yoga and massage.” Fluid movement is a double entendre as it also applies to limber flexibility. Doc upledger founder of craniosacral also says “anything that enhances fluid movement is always beneficial.”
Shaktideva….The founder of osteopathy was Andrew J Still…,His student ,William Garner Sutherland, discovered cranial sacral manipulation, through decades of self testing with a leather helmet!…Dr Upledger was the first doctor to teach the lay public how to care for their autistic children with cranial sacral holds, an incredibly merciful act of compassion.
Though I immensely enjoyed the three parts of this series and understood much of it, I do agree with Horsea above in a sense, that the practical application of this knowledge was not forthcoming as I had hoped it would be in part three. In what practical way can we improve our zeta potential other than getting more sunshine? And for instance, is there a “better” form of water to drink? Perhaps letting it soak up sunshine in a glass vessel before drinking?
It may be worth considering all the things we think feel and do that ennervate us - and then we have a lot we can choose not to do or find better ways to achieve our goals.
For all the uncovering of the 'secrets' of life it remains true that life is the be lived! And is meant to work by living!
Personally I dont think your latter idea the best. Victor Schauberger's findings are worth considering.
In that context I found the even whizzing up drinking water with a kitchen gadget de-clumps its granular nature to a silkier smoother drink.
I also note that blood is vortexed to declump when looking for platelets - as clumps can give false positives.
Don't forget the trampoline! I am a surfer, always in salt water so I'm sure that has some bearing on fluid movement. I often wonder about whether I am ingesting beneficial algae or seaweed as well.
While many are well schooled, almost none are well educated so don't let any lack of schooling slow you down. In fact, the most well schooled are those who are most resistant to thinking outside the box and they remain rigid and ignorant.
Persistence is a big key to success, so take it a little at a time, keep at it, and you'll get it. This stuff is written to be undestood and is done well. Also, don't be shy about reading it several times and asking for clarification.
1. Dont squelch curiosity with old beliefs ("I cant do this" or "I'm not educated") but be ok to abide with information that arouses your interest without demanding or judging yourself. To be as a child in a new language that starts to become in you because you are in relationship.
2. Gerald pollack has videos that give some of the basics - he is himself a good communicator of science. I thought his 4th Phase of Water book and excellent example or how to do science as well as sowing the basis of his & others findings.
he understates the implications while pointing toward them, but he travels a path that others have been excluded or penalised for taking as well as wanting to redeem science for scientists!
If you consider what I said, it had an absence of trying in terms of failing -or perhaps passing off as getting it.
Underlying beliefs that we often acquire in early life and forget, remain active throughout.
But where a situation such as a school teacher or parent may have set a pattern - you are no free to be curious in your OWN way - not in prescribed ways. We have different ways of learning and seek different aspects of information. I appreciate a sense of the relationships that underlie life and world as a sense of release from false or limited models and concepts.
Consider that you are less invested in 'trained models' and so can see things in a way that 'trained people' cant - especially when the emperor has no clothes!
"I think great scientific breakthroughs will occur among those who re-think everything about the Status Quo scientific approaches. This article might be a perfect example of this." Agreed Bill Rice Jr.
Wow!!! Yes, this was a challenging read, but I get the gist of the importance water movement in the body. I am in very good physical shape for a lot of reasons, but I attribute a lot of it to walking at least 4-5 miles a day with my dogs and getting plenty of sunshine. I never actually believed that sun was 'bad' for me because when there is a period of successive grey days I can actually feel sluggish, and slightly depressed. I could give you a ton more examples, but suffice it to say that I am super sensitive to sunlight, temperature, and movement of my body.
I also perform weight-bearing exercises (utilizing the majority of muscle mass) at least 5 times per week. I am a woman of long lean muscle mass (ectomorph) or as some like to call me a "tall drink of water." I take that as a compliment. I believe weight-bearing exercise is especially important for my particular body type to maintain strength, balance, and flexibility. In addition, the extra added benefits are I have a low percentage of body fat, extremely low resting heart rate, and very high energy. I drink filtered, structured lemon water to the tune of at least 60-80 ounces per day. I am going to try the apple cider vinegar diluted water based on others comments. Thanks. I always read comments for tips.
Thanks AMD!!! Keep the information flowing--no pun intended--hahahaha.
My pleasure. I have worked diligently all my adult life to try to encourage people to exercise, and move their bodies. The benefits are exponential. As someone who battles mild depression (at times, a bit more severe) it's essential to get out in nature to soothe your body, mind and soul.
Yes. Mostly walking barefoot at the beach (in the sand) and around our yard. We are fortunate to live by the beach and year round temps are warm. Honestly, I don't do it consistently, but I am going to work at least 30 minutes a day into my routine.
I always feel better connecting to the earth, but I think it's going to take greater consistency to comment with any real 'proof.'
Just noticed that you are Canadian and you have a Substack. I will check it out. I left Canada over 30 years ago. It's terribly sad how bad things have become. Turdeau is a war criminal!!!
Perhaps you write quite a bit about what's happening? I live in Commie So. Cal. It's soooooo bad here--Warden Newsom is basically a puppet of the Cabal executing their orders.
This person has said things such as "•Avoided doing anything I thought was potentially unethical.
" HOWEVER HE HAS PAYWALLED MULTIPLE PROTOCOLS in the articles with specific information which is EXTREMELY STRANGE and something you do not see from many others like WHAT IS WITH THAT INSANITY. VERY STRANGE TO SEE WITH THAT SO CHECK THAT BE CAREFUL AND BE WELL PEOPLE.
I wish I could fully understand the science of this article, because I'm sure I'm missing important aspects of the science behind this article. But I do understand and greatly appreciate the cultural importance of this article: It shows doctors like you thinking once again like medical scientists. That is very encouraging.
I try really hard to write these articles for a wide audience so everyone has something they can take away from each article and vary what I present so I'm not always focusing on the same topics.
I consider your substack stuff the best of its kind.
Because I spent decades working with science while practicing environmental law, it is clear to me that you spend an extraordinary amount of time and thought in writing your articles. But the mental effort which goes into your every article may not be apparent to those who are inexperienced with translating science into understandable English. We are all grateful.
Since you worked in environmental law, I would love to get your thoughts on the one I am working about on my thoughts regarding green energy and everything else it ties to.
I will be pleased to comment. Trigger warning: I think it's a hoax. (That the lowly-worm likes of AOC are behind the Green Energy Campaign simply confirms my conclusion.) I have been involved with environmental law since 1970 and worked closely with and in strong opposition to environmental special interest groups for 40 years. I have witnessed the capture (hijacking) of environmentalism by leftist ideologues who use environmental scares and falsehood as screens for ulterior political objectives that are contrary to the public interest. No environmental campaign in US history better fits that description than the Climate Change Hoax.
The climate change debate is daunting scientifically only because of the misleading/distorting/complicating role computer models have been allowed to play in the debate and because much of academia (both science and liberal arts) stands to gain financially, professionally and politically by accepting without challenge the scientific falsehood that planet earth faces an imminent man-made climate catastrophe due to greenhouse gases. The best one volume source of scientifically credible information and objective, unbiased opinion is "Unsettled," a 2021 book by physicist, former Obama DOE climate bureaucrat, and science/energy policy expert Dr. Steven E. Koonin of MIT.Amazon.com: Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters eBook : Koonin, Steven E.: Kindle Store
The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are becoming scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulate, at Bergen, Norway.
Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone.
Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes.
Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm.
Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.
Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.
Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.
I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922, as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post - 100 years ago!!
You are absolutely right about the role of computer models. Climate "science" is founded on those models, and then they go out into the real world and find anything wrong that they can attribute to CO2. Like, for example, dying reefs, which are either only temporarily bleached or else are dying because of the true cause, overfishing. Much science on that last.
Wouldn't atmospheric warming be seen in atmospheric data? Yes, it would, and we have data from thousands of weather balloons that should confirm the CO2 theory but do not. I've done some of this study on my substack, as have others, but haven't yet put it all together into a coherent whole for others. Time and all these damn distractions what with the threat of an emerging global police state.
Agree that Koonin's book is a great resource.
Very disappointing to me that the medical freedom movement is getting behind a climate fanatic's presidential campaign. I think we have to ask ourselves: do the powers-that-be care whether it's a medical police state or a climate police state? One will enable the other, anyhow.
In any case, for any retired physicists or meteorologists out there a question we need to ask is: what will CO2 do to the lapse rate (NOT what Dr. Pierrehumbert tells us!! This is extremely important to understand, and why it's impossible) and what's the evidence for that in balloon data contained in skew-T diagrams? Lapse rate is key.
I really need to do more work on this, but life .... And anyhow, no matter what data we point to they only answer with, "the science says," don't they?
I haven't had time to read all of the post on water but incidentally I do have Pollock's book on water, which I acquired some time ago but haven't read.
Your thinking seems to comport with mine, so we are both right:)
As for your comment about the Enviro-Whacko RFK Jr., I am very worried that USA will repeat but massively compound the grave errors of its China Virus fiasco by placing him in charge of the Climate Change Hoax. (Electing him president would be like making an arsonist chief of the fire department.) RFK Jr must show that he has learned the China Virus lessons so well as not to repeat them with Climate Change. He must renounce the Climate Change Camapign as a march toward international catastrophe, or we must reject him as a fake but very dangerous leader.
I thought this article was as easy as it could have been, given the nature of the subject. After the first reading, I'm musing about how much the blood and fluid circulation is dependent on capillary action as well as on the behavior of liquid crystalline water, zeta potential, etc. Naturally it is going to take some time and effort for those of us who are new to this subject to grasp the details and become familiar with the concepts.
And incidentally, you've got me wondering about how big a trampoline I will need to exercise on in the back garden in order to stay fit into my nineties.
Thanks for a thought provoking article. My father died from an issue, where his body could not get rid of the fluid he ingested. His weight would fluctuate from 150 to 250 pounds. His doctor put him in the hospital and gave him diuretics; drained his body of fluird; and it would bring him back down to 150 pounds. After several times, his heart failed. The doctor gave him potassium supplements, but there are many more nutrients that the body needs in order to function. Most foods and beverages many Americans are eating and drinking have little value nutritonally. These missing nutrients are very important in order for our body to work. This is one of the causes of heart failure. Many are not aware of the best source of water. It is what our Creator made for us...organic fruits and vegetables; the higher the percentage of raw one ingests, the better. Raw fruit and vegetables contains: 75% - 94% water.
We do not do a good job of managing the fluids of the body due to what components of fluid homeostasis we tend to focus on. I'm sorry about what happened to your father.
Thank you for your comment. It was a miracle my father livd as long as he did...83. Many years earlier he had been shot by a hold up man...and the bullet missed his heart by a fraction of an inch. The doctor did not give us any hope. However, my mother grandmother and I prayed all night long...and he survived another 39 years.
I followed Dr Norman Walker's juicing info for many years, but became aware of the need for fiber. Dr Walker attributed juicing to saving his life, when he was young. He had been very ill. However, Juicing eliminates fiber; and one gets far too many carbs without the fiber to balance them. I don't use a blender either, because the heat can destroy the enzymes and deteriorate the fiber. This is the downside to these modern gadgets. Juicing is great for people who are ill and don't have the ability to eat much or chew. It will get a lot of nutrition into them. However, it is not as beneficial longterm for people, if they want to stay well.
Actually, because of damage from bowel surgery (and damage from decades of anticholinergic drugging) - I have found that fibre is not as essential as the bowel surgeons would have you believe. Example: People on a carnivorous diet - no fibre or veggies - have a healthy and broadly diverse gut biome of people tested. Sorry, I don't have a study on that one.
I believe that fibre - making excess bulk - can cause as many problems as it solves. Stretching the bowel and causing excess push is yet another form of pressure on the system.
The majority of carnivores live 50 years (masai, eskimos, native ameican plain indians, etc) The problem with fiber...most people deteriorate their bodies from eating the wrong foods, taking substances, etc., because they have no idea of how their bodies work. Then, their bodies break down. It takes years to learn, because the information being dispensed is not valid. Med schools fail to provide doctors with crucial information that they require in order to help patients. They get drug and vaccine info from drug reps sent by Big Pharma. They get limited info on nutrition from patients..very little in med schools. Our government does little nutrition research...it lets the Food Industry and it promotes processed foods. Money has had too much of an influence on our entire society. I was handed books by a good friend 63 years ago and was told to start reading, because I was listening to the wrong people. It's important to do one's own research and not depend on others. The info I saw in the books absolutely shocked me, because I was paying my unhealthy child's doctor for information that created his poor health and was setting him up for more serious health problems in the future. His mental and physical health changed for the better, after I eliminated many of the things the doctor prescribed.
I'm an acupuncturist and I can tell you that the number one cause of pain - particularly nerve pain - is what the Chinese call "blood stasis" - the failure of blood to circulate freely. Releasing a small amount of blood from the right spot will unblock the free flow and quite literally work a miracle. I even wrote a book on the practice, The Complete Guide to Chinese Medicine Bloodletting. Get the blood moving again and you can relieve pain and restore health in very short order. Midwest Doc you are most definitely onto something!!
I repeatedly see the proverb "where there is blocked qi there is pain" play out in my clinical practice.
One of articles I have in an early draft is a summary of Gunter R. Neeb's book on blood stasis and linking it to all the forgotten western research showing blood sludging is a primary cause of disease.
Also question for you. Did I phrase the part about the stagnant stream correctly or do you think it could have been phrase better?
A great saying in Chinese Medicine is that “Blood is the mother of qi, qi is the commander of blood.” The two go hand in glove.
“Qi” can have many meanings depending on context, but here I think it useful to think of qi as nerve conduction. And indeed, blood nourishes the nerves (blood is the mother of qi), and the nerves control blood flow (qi is the commander of blood). Note also that anatomically, nerves, arteries, and veins always travel together.
And I agree wholeheartedly that blood stasis causes inflammation. As a practical matter, the practice called gua sha consistently and dramatically reduces inflammation. I have a regular Crohns patient and a regular interstitial cystitis patient, and whenever either has a flareup, I do gua sha on their upper backs, which almost never fails to stop the flare by the following morning. Gua sha consists of rubbing a lubricant such as coconut oil on their backs, then “scraping” with an instrument such as a porcelain Chinese soup spoon. If inflammation (“heat” in Chinese Medicine) is present, gua sha will raise prominent red petechiae. It looks a bit scary and dramatic, like road rash from a motorcycle accident, but is completely benign and disappears within 4 days or so. It is simple but a deceptively powerful practice.
What does that have to do with the subject at hand? My Crohn’s patient teaches anatomy at a medical school and half-jokingly refers to gua sha as “internal bloodletting.” It breaks capillaries from which blood escapes, causing the petechiae. In Chinese Medicine terms, the red petechia is heat (inflammation) being released, but I have no doubt that it also unblocks blood flow, reducing inflammation.
Finally, I wonder if you have seen this Finnish journal article in which a few hundred men who occasionally donated blood, and a few hundred men who never donated blood, were followed for some 9 years. It concluded that “blood donors had a 88% reduced risk (relative hazard = 0.12, 95% confidence interval 0.02-0.86, p = 0.035) of acute myocardial infarction, compared with non-blood donors.”
I did not know the magnitude that was that big. This is one reason why when I do UV blood irradiation I sometimes do not return all the withdrawn blood to the circulation.
"It concluded that “blood donors had a 88% reduced risk (relative hazard = 0.12, 95% confidence interval 0.02-0.86, p = 0.035) of acute myocardial infarction, compared with non-blood donors.”
That's fascinating.
If I weren't so very needle and doctor phobic though, I probably would have died years ago. And I also would probably have taken those highly safe and clearly effective although "experimental" mRNA injections recommended by Theresa Tam et al, 2 plus years ago.
But still, very interesting stuff!
This beloved doctor's Substack comments section is the best. ❤
You’re right, what’s called TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) is not traditional at all - it is indeed a watered-down version created by committees under Mao after WWII. I had to learn it to pass the Boards, but then promptly unlearned it and don’t use it at all. Chinese Medicine has been around a long time and you couldn’t get your arms around all of it in ten lifetimes, so the best anyone can do is try to master a few aspects of it. Personally I use Dr. Tan’s balance method, Master Tung acupuncture, other “imaging” or “microsystem” acupuncture methods such as auricular and other, Master Tung bloodletting (my specialty), cupping, gua sha, and also “dry needling style” trigger point acupuncture with e-stim when called for. Occasionally IR “cold laser” for a few things such as plantar fasciitis, where it can work wonders.
Why doesn’t Chinese Medicine go deeper? Well it goes a lot deeper toward the cause than allopathic medicine but I agree one should always strive to go as deep toward the cause as possible. The deepest causes are usually emotional and lifestyle related and I try to address those when possible. But as a practical matter, people come to me with pain and want a fairly quick solution, and are not always open to the much-more-time-consuming work of changing the deepest causes. There are so many barriers to changing one’s lifestyle and emotional approach to life. I do point them toward Dr. David Hanscom’s website and book “Back In Control” frequently, and I teach them EFT and Expressive Writing most of the time. Whether they follow up or not is up to them. Thanks for your thought-provoking comment.
What an amazing article going into so much detailed information. I must admit it is ‘way over my head’ but I appreciate your ability to explain. You are a wonderful human and compassionate doctor that truly cares about your patients.
Cranial nerves. I have noticed so many symptoms since the C-19 mRNA vaccine. Especially the right eye. Are these tiny capillaries clogging up and creating all of these Ophthalmic tics? I am not sure why, but it seems that the right eye is predominant.
Lids and leveling changes are amongst the most common. We are beginning to look like we are in a Salvadore Dali painting. I have never seen changes like this occur so quickly.
I am always thrilled by this series. I appreciate how difficult it is to present a lesson as complex as this so that we all understand, but you do!
I worked for a NeuroOphthalmologist who also possessed a talent for teaching. Golden.
It's very common, especially with the abducens nerve and now that I've pointed it out my colleagues are noticing it as well. I tried to detail it in this article, since Andrew Moulden showed the exact same thing happened with other vaccine reactions. Essentially, a few of them have nuclei that are in water shed regions that are highly vulnerable to the microclotting or microclumping of blood vaccines cause. The spike protein vaccines have a stronger ability to that, so more cranial nerve palsys are seen.
I read that article you linked and I sure wish I had discovered your work sooner. I call it superb and will be reading it several times when I can find some time...
Interesting. A few days ago, a 60 yo coworker of one of my sisters (who never went beyond high school), complained that she was seeing double and my sister took her to an ER thinking she could be having a stroke (don't ask me how she came up with that) and enroute the coworker mentioned that her left leg was feeling heavy. Apparently she was having symptoms of a stroke, but I know no further details. The coworker has had 2 covid jabs.
I asked my sister more about the symptom of double vision but that's all she knew, unfortunately. There's a slight chance that I may be able to talk with the woman with the symptoms but it could be a while so I hope she remembers what she was experiencing. I'm dying to know!
Apparently she got an IV so maybe that alone will help as I understood from a quick read of your article.
One of the first pieces of evidence I remember seeing, for what the covid injections were doing in the body, was a German doctor who routinely looked at her patients' blood under a microscope, and she showed the rouleaux formations in the RBC, which looked horrendous. No way they *didn't know* this was happening.
Doc, thank you for this article. Why blood cells clump together forming micro clots inside pulmonary capillaries is one of the most important aspects about COVID that I took from Dr McCullough’s early writings regarding why putting patients with low sats onto ventilators could cause over pressurized tissue to essentially burst and in many cases the patients on ventilator therapy could expire due to pulmonary edema. At least that was my take away and I’m not sure it is entirely correct or if I’m just on the right path.
As a practicing EMT our call volume for breathing problems have increased dramatically over the last few years, especially in younger patients. I am beginning to think that the mRNA injections might have some role in that.
It would be beneficial I think if you could summarize in layman’s terms a few key points on how the fluid is moving without the pumping mechanism. It was an excellent example of how water ascends plants and trees that do not have pumps. More examples like that will help my less trained mind understand the physics better.
Thank you again for your devotion to medicine and scientific discourse and discovery. As a practicing recovering pharmaceutical sales person, I absolutely understand your comments regarding practicing clinicians and the conflict that they have a between their employers, and their patients. I called on many doctors who would simply prescribe a drug to satisfy a patient if they believe that the drug would not harm the patient rather than taking the time to explain to the patient why the drug that they asked for was not appropriate. prescription drug advertising is a negative driver. It has done more harm in this country I believe than any single act endorsed by the FDA. Unfortunately, the intersection of big Pharma, big media and big government has formed a bond that contributed to the decline of scientific processes in favor of controlling the narrative to make money the end all and be all.
Thank you! I completely agree with your point about doctors and feel its a shame most people don't realize the time constraints they are under which put most of them into a give pills next model of practice (which I'm sure was deliberately made that way by the industry).
Yes, and the refrain was always, ‘if I don’t give them what they think they need, they will doctor-shop and get it from another doctor.’ With an increase in the number of PCPs employed by hospital systems it has gotten worse. I’m sure most of the PCP’s don’t spend enough Hx taking time these days and focus more on the physical exam for new patients. They let their MA’s take the Hx and likely don’t spend much time analyzing it. Sad. Community paramedic medicine should have a great impact on primary care when there are enough PMs to start up programs. We should go to a model where PMs work directly for PCPs in underserved communities. Hospital ERs are so crowded that almost every day all beds and triage filled. EMS bed delays I’m sure are up almost everywhere. It doesn’t have to be this way but it is what big pharma and medical-pharma complex wants.
Re: "... and the refrain was always, ‘if I don’t give them what they think they need, they will doctor-shop and get it from another doctor.’
I live in a country that provides its citizens with a universal health-care system.
I'm not in it.
My son has been on a "wait list" for a Gp for over a year. The few Doctors we have aren't "accepting new patients."
The only option is "Urgent Care" (with 4-6 hour wait to see a physician), a Walk-In Clinic (if you don't arrive by mid-morning there's a good chance you'll be refused service...), or a 7-8 hour stint in "Emergency".
Our health care "system" is utterly broken.
My mother has had a really nice but incompetent and disinterested physician for the last 15 years.
6 minute appointments. Have a chat. No "cures", just meds. Blood pressure cuff. Listens to her racing heart...
Fill outs the blood lab requisition. Prints it out. No "follow-up".
No one "doctor-shops" in this country!
Naturopaths have mostly opted out of that "system". Your first comprehensive visit will cost a minimum of $200 out of pocket.
If you"re employed, and have access to employer funded "extended" medical insurance benefits: that insurance may pick up a small portion...
I'm fortunate in that I just don't go to doctors. If I feel unwell, which is rare, I research home remedies.
So far so good. I'm 65. No health issues except recent "ear ringing".
"Covid19" was, and still is, a "PCR" test result and panic propaganda mass formation event.
Not an actual "pandemic". No one I know, or knew, "died of Covid."
Fear spreads like wildfire.
Many folks are still in the throes of this (mostly) media fueled psychosis.
(Just my opinion folks, based upon my personal observations... 😉)
Go out there. Take a walk. Often. Barefoot if possible.
Eat clean. Cook your own nutritious food. (Or learn how to... 😉)
Laugh at, not with, Joe Biden et al.
Heard clips of last night's "event" blasting from my mum's TV, at 38 decibels, while I baked her a batch of Portuguese buns. (.08 cents as, vs .45 to .55 cents at "The Store.)
Old Joe is unbearable. (Trudeau is worse, in different ways, but that's another story few Americans seem interested in.)
American and Canadian MSM Talking Bobble Heads reading teleprompters can't see that this leader of "The Free World" is a demented old fool, and that the "free" world will be in even deeper shit if he wins a 2nd term (Nope. Nothing but hearts & flowers.)
Then news about the impending "Coronation"... (How many millions of pounds are being spent on that Pomp & Circumstance, but at least we can finally turn the furnace off...)
And how about those Maple Leafs eh?
Bread. And circuses.
So, I roll my eyes and laugh.
Pop a few basic supplements. The ones still relatively cheap, so kind of still within my austere budget.
Thinking about taking Ivermectin too, 6mg (liquid) 1x per week, as a prophylactic.
Probably not. Should save my remaining stash for a family member emergency. (Fully jabbed and always "sick".)
Pet a cat. (My son has a previously feral cat who tolerates my occasional presence.)
Picked daffodils for my mother's recently "dead relatives" pictorial memorial display, and 24/7 candle light vigil... Her newest obsession.
Did some dead-heading and gardening chores.
Between dough rises.
Life goes on for me, whilst still stuck in Canuckistan. Thank goodness I got rid of my TV 10 years ago and only get occasional glimpses into my 90 year old mum's "world view".
Very sad, and scary, and incomprehensible to her.
The "new world".
She's triple jabbed, didn't ever catch "The Virus", never leaves the safety of her property, which she won't walk around any longer.
"Too dangerous". (Even with the new walker...)
She could fall. She gets "dizzy". Having been prescribed so many "prescriptions" that her cardiologist and GP feel that she "needs".
They will continue to keep her "alive" but not living.
Along with those safe and effective mRNA jabs...
Still petrified of Covid. (Still disinfects any door knob I touch.)
The Grim Reaper could be just around the corner...
Had a boo at that massive memorial shrine table. It'll get larger.
Must remember to purchase more votive candles. Was notified yesterday that another elderly family friend just died.
I watched this video of a public meeting, which I came across on the "World Doctors Alliance" group on the Telegram app, and thought it was a very helpful, constructive, non-threatening approach.
This lady did NONE of the "this is what I know that you ought to know" attitude that you find with 00DEZ, for example. She is merely offering help and support to help people with what they want to achieve, with the situational awareness that they already have.
The difficulty that people experience with the "you need to wake up to this" approach is that not everyone is in the same position, and some or many feel threatened and get either defensive, or aggressive, or dismiss things that conflict with how they understand the world currently.
The recognition that people need the help and co-operation of other like-minded people, on the other hand, is pretty universal.
I’ve seen a huge change under the microscope regarding the changed zeta potential and thus more RBC aggregation.
There’s way more happening than most know inside the blood and circulatory systems of humans now. Doctors absolutely don’t know.
Most don’t know what to look for or how to find it in a lab setting much less a doctor that mainly reads peer reviewed publications on doctored paid for research and just orders up labs without knowing their way around advanced lab equipment.
The game wardens steer the science that is known and unknown to the herd.
I’ve seen spontaneous crystallization with intersticial fluids under the right conditions via advanced slide mounts and DF and Phase contrast microscopy.
But that’s nothing.
What I can make happen on a slide is virtually unknown to the scientific world because I don’t publish my findings.
Thank you; I completely forgot to put the live blood cell analysis study in here. I study science because I like to learn how things work and come up with insights that may be helpful, so it lends itself to this process.
I would love to get my hands on a phase contrast microscope to examine mushroom spores. You wouldn't happen to know of one that needs a good home, would you?
Thank you Dr. For this information. While I’m just a Mom and learning and observing everything. I so appreciate your analysis I think your on to something with all this. I recently just watched this video explaining about water and salt and our cells.
Since we know our diets are terrible with all the processed foods and people with preexisting health conditions. Most people are nutrient deficient and their bodies can’t absorb water through their cells without sodium. We all know the table salt is bad! But the good salts like sea salt are full of the beneficial magnesium!
Just a thought.
I hope this helps with helping so many who are sick! Our bodies tell us when something is wrong if we listen to them!
I will have to read your article several times. Thank you for writing it. I watched a really interesting video yesterday by Dr Been he explained using some results from RAMAN spectroscopy how Spike was damaging mitochondria and got to the electron level. Quite early in Covid I watched another video that basically said we should treat covid at the electronic level. The suggested treatments included IR therapy, colloidal gold, Ozone and increasing oxytocin. I bought an IR blanket and although I have not used it lots of times I have found it to be very therapeutic as have others who have tried it. I have also liked reading about the electric universe - everything is electric - it all makes much more sense and makes science far more exciting.
Regarding the heart being/not being a pump. A pump in a closed system of piping has to balance the amount it sucks in versus the amount it pumps out. I would imagine that this would be far to simplistic for a biological system.
Perhaps one needs to try to visualize the heart as 2 sections: suction and pressure. The sections wouldn't be just the heart organ, but would need to include all the vessels on the suction and the pressure sides.
The vortexing action of the heart is a key function.
If you haven't seen the helical nature of the heart youtubes - do - but then bring this to the electrical fiuction of the pulse created as a regulator of the body with itself as a balanced environment.
Manel Ballister gave an interview with Tom Cowan on this.
His witness was the hearts on 'death row' (he worked in transplant surgery) were healed using energy healing - I think Cranial work - but by implication the Field is Open - its a matter or reconnection or regrounding ourselves in life's cycles, rythms and communion.
(Which I intuit will also restore zeta).
The balance point of zeta is not really zero-point but one-point or unity point from which energy is drawn and release back into.
Equilibrium is a dynamic balance within the currency of our momentum - or a current moment. Dissociated or fragmented attentions can be crazy, yet at the depth there is stillness of being.
Frank Chester's intuitive geometry brought up interesting reflection on the heart. A completely different approach.
i see correspondences in the heart's musculature with the cross section of a Birkeland current (the EM filaments that network the Univers to look like a neural net)
I really appreciate the amount of time and thought that you put into these articles for us.
Thank you! I have limited time to write, so I only publish things I will feel good about having written long after the fact. Similarly, because so many people read this, I feel I have a responsibility to be respectful of their time and only post things that are worth their time to read.
Thanks for everything you write. You •always• make me think, even (especially?) when your starting point differs from my preferred political stance.
Your "specificity v. sensitivity" analysis of Dobbs overturning Roe is a fine example of expanding my thinking--again, thanks.
I would love to read your opinions on "The castrati: a physician’s perspective" published by hekint.og in 2017. (Part 1 is mostly historical, Part 2 is mostly medical.) I wonder what today's trans activists and the pharma-profiteers would say about the historical, personal, and medical accounts of the pre-pubescent castrated male sopranos.
Just an idea for a column, in case you're not already far too busy with other great ideas and projects.
--Vlad
Me too. Doc is thinking outside the box or presenting a theory few have posited. We need a lot more of this in real science and medicine.
This piece made me think of a piece I wrote about James Holzhauer, the Jeopardy whiz and contrarian who challenged the way that game show had been played for decades.
I think great scientific breakthroughs will occur among those who re-think everything about the Status Quo scientific approaches. This article might be a perfect example of this.
https://billricejr.substack.com/p/contrarians-can-teach-the-world-valuable
Thank you!
Great article there!
I wonder to what extent a guy like that has avoided vaccines. (I'm being serious here.)
I'd bet a good bit of money he didn't get the vaccine. If nothing else, James Holzhauer understands risks and probabilities. ... Then again, he's now a public figure and still appears on TV including "Jeopardy" promotions ... so he might have been required to get vaccinated to continue with those paying gigs. Then he would have had to calculate the weights of "earning more money" vs. the risk of maybe developing a vax injury.
I'd love to interview James and ask him this question.
P.S. Thanks for reading my article!
I suspect he's avoided most as well. I'm convinced that a lot of the pathetic behavior we see today is somewhat explained by the toxins we're subjected to from cradle to grave in our lovely "industrialized" and very sick society.
Many (important) things have changed that must explain all the bad "public health" results we can see with our own eyes. The "obesity crisis" is the one medical crisis that is NOT exaggerated. There must be many explanations why such a large percentage of our population would now qualify as obese ... but the way they are making and marketing the popular foods must have something to do with this. Big Ag is probably in on it.
"Big Ag is probably in on it."
Without a doubt, but people like us with such thoughts are ignorant conspiracy theorist, doncha know?
Nixons Ag secretary, Earl Butts, needed a way to increase the market for US corn. High Fructose Corn syrup was the result and the proof is in the obese and unhealthy bodies we see today. There is a fascinating book about that sordid history and other political food crimes. Can’t remember the name.
And if you try to bring this up, which I have as a yoga teacher who once posted on social media, you are accused of shaming people.
The toxic substances are neuro-toxic and essentially slow down metabolism. Add in poor food nutrition and the body expands.
This puts increased pressure on joints and one is sluggish and tired and do not want to go out and exercise, all part of the vicious circle.
There is a lot of information, however some articles seem to have many typos, and the Goliath birdeater is not an insect haha however it can be interesting information with many of these SO thanks !
I try really hard to write content that appeals to a lot of different audiences rather than the same thing over and over. Similarly, I recognize that some of the things I want to cover will not be accessible to everyone, so in those articles, I try to include parts that still are.
AMD: I appreciate all the scientific detail you go into, even when I might not be familiar with its complexity at first reading. I plan to carefully reread this amazing essay, as well as study the links you provided, which I haven't yet done, and to research some of the concepts you discuss in it. I sincerely request that you not simplify or "dumb down" your writing in any way whatsoever.
The extent of my formal scientific education was high school biology, but I understood this article and I found it not just comprehensible, but revelatory. To be honest, I'm blown away by it. I used to be a therapeutic bodyworker, and I read and learned a lot about the body as part of that holistic training and practice. So my high school biology class wasn't really the end of my study of biology. It was actually only the beginning.
I'm trying to get the best balance I can with that...basically I "dumb things down" as far as I can without any critical details being lost. I think a lot of people in the scientific field make concepts too complicated and there's really no need to, so there's quite a bit of room on that end to simplify things.
I understand that. You are a treasure. I can't tell you how much I appreciate and value all of your work. The depth and breadth of your knowledge as well as your profound humanity are astonishing.
I'm just happy I get write about topics like this and people care!
In my 14 years total of schooling there were only 5--maybe 6 teachers that I can honestly say were real teachers--not babysitters.
They were creative, patient and would not allow a student to pass their class unless they were sure the student was ready and had learned that particular subject.
I started school in 1972 when the world was much different than today--schools were different.
Great teachers nowadays are few and far between.
You are as much a great teacher as you are a great doctor. As readers we benefit from both through your articles.
They are very interesting, and written in such a way that everyone understands...
Teaching us as an audience, the good, the bad and the ugly in medicine-- different ideas in medicine from a doctor's perspective, and you do it very well... Thank you!!!
I agree and the clear writing had me understanding complex issues...plus, I'm going to get a trampoline!
I'm curious why not a "rebounder" = ?
I got a high quality rebounder when I learned that NASA recommends - if you only do one exercise - to bounce. My rebounder has trampoline springs - if the springs is the issue.
I wonder too because i want to get a rebounder instead of a big trampoline out back. I understood it had to do with the top of the trampoline jump. I've tried to look it up but can't even find much on zeta potential. So far I've started with chia seeds. What is the rebounder you have in case i quit my on the fence" lol
I’ve been following your series on water too and grateful for the deep dive. I read about Gerald pollock years ago in Mercolas newsletter. It rocked my world. As a craniosacral therapist and yoga teacher my “mission statement’ is “enhancing fluid movement through yoga and massage.” Fluid movement is a double entendre as it also applies to limber flexibility. Doc upledger founder of craniosacral also says “anything that enhances fluid movement is always beneficial.”
Shaktideva….The founder of osteopathy was Andrew J Still…,His student ,William Garner Sutherland, discovered cranial sacral manipulation, through decades of self testing with a leather helmet!…Dr Upledger was the first doctor to teach the lay public how to care for their autistic children with cranial sacral holds, an incredibly merciful act of compassion.
Honorable Dr.
Though I immensely enjoyed the three parts of this series and understood much of it, I do agree with Horsea above in a sense, that the practical application of this knowledge was not forthcoming as I had hoped it would be in part three. In what practical way can we improve our zeta potential other than getting more sunshine? And for instance, is there a “better” form of water to drink? Perhaps letting it soak up sunshine in a glass vessel before drinking?
Thats part 4.
It may be worth considering all the things we think feel and do that ennervate us - and then we have a lot we can choose not to do or find better ways to achieve our goals.
For all the uncovering of the 'secrets' of life it remains true that life is the be lived! And is meant to work by living!
Personally I dont think your latter idea the best. Victor Schauberger's findings are worth considering.
In that context I found the even whizzing up drinking water with a kitchen gadget de-clumps its granular nature to a silkier smoother drink.
I also note that blood is vortexed to declump when looking for platelets - as clumps can give false positives.
Don't forget the trampoline! I am a surfer, always in salt water so I'm sure that has some bearing on fluid movement. I often wonder about whether I am ingesting beneficial algae or seaweed as well.
While many are well schooled, almost none are well educated so don't let any lack of schooling slow you down. In fact, the most well schooled are those who are most resistant to thinking outside the box and they remain rigid and ignorant.
Persistence is a big key to success, so take it a little at a time, keep at it, and you'll get it. This stuff is written to be undestood and is done well. Also, don't be shy about reading it several times and asking for clarification.
Bless you.
"When I do, I may end up thinking some of it is hooey, though... :)"
The science stuff here is substantial, without a doubt, my friend! : )
Two points come to mind.
1. Dont squelch curiosity with old beliefs ("I cant do this" or "I'm not educated") but be ok to abide with information that arouses your interest without demanding or judging yourself. To be as a child in a new language that starts to become in you because you are in relationship.
2. Gerald pollack has videos that give some of the basics - he is himself a good communicator of science. I thought his 4th Phase of Water book and excellent example or how to do science as well as sowing the basis of his & others findings.
he understates the implications while pointing toward them, but he travels a path that others have been excluded or penalised for taking as well as wanting to redeem science for scientists!
I appreciate your smile.
If you consider what I said, it had an absence of trying in terms of failing -or perhaps passing off as getting it.
Underlying beliefs that we often acquire in early life and forget, remain active throughout.
But where a situation such as a school teacher or parent may have set a pattern - you are no free to be curious in your OWN way - not in prescribed ways. We have different ways of learning and seek different aspects of information. I appreciate a sense of the relationships that underlie life and world as a sense of release from false or limited models and concepts.
Consider that you are less invested in 'trained models' and so can see things in a way that 'trained people' cant - especially when the emperor has no clothes!
"I think great scientific breakthroughs will occur among those who re-think everything about the Status Quo scientific approaches. This article might be a perfect example of this." Agreed Bill Rice Jr.
Wow!!! Yes, this was a challenging read, but I get the gist of the importance water movement in the body. I am in very good physical shape for a lot of reasons, but I attribute a lot of it to walking at least 4-5 miles a day with my dogs and getting plenty of sunshine. I never actually believed that sun was 'bad' for me because when there is a period of successive grey days I can actually feel sluggish, and slightly depressed. I could give you a ton more examples, but suffice it to say that I am super sensitive to sunlight, temperature, and movement of my body.
I also perform weight-bearing exercises (utilizing the majority of muscle mass) at least 5 times per week. I am a woman of long lean muscle mass (ectomorph) or as some like to call me a "tall drink of water." I take that as a compliment. I believe weight-bearing exercise is especially important for my particular body type to maintain strength, balance, and flexibility. In addition, the extra added benefits are I have a low percentage of body fat, extremely low resting heart rate, and very high energy. I drink filtered, structured lemon water to the tune of at least 60-80 ounces per day. I am going to try the apple cider vinegar diluted water based on others comments. Thanks. I always read comments for tips.
Thanks AMD!!! Keep the information flowing--no pun intended--hahahaha.
Thank you for this comment : )
My pleasure. I have worked diligently all my adult life to try to encourage people to exercise, and move their bodies. The benefits are exponential. As someone who battles mild depression (at times, a bit more severe) it's essential to get out in nature to soothe your body, mind and soul.
Have you done earthing? If so, how do you practice it, and what results have you noticed?
Thanks for your commentary. ❤
Yes. Mostly walking barefoot at the beach (in the sand) and around our yard. We are fortunate to live by the beach and year round temps are warm. Honestly, I don't do it consistently, but I am going to work at least 30 minutes a day into my routine.
I always feel better connecting to the earth, but I think it's going to take greater consistency to comment with any real 'proof.'
Just noticed that you are Canadian and you have a Substack. I will check it out. I left Canada over 30 years ago. It's terribly sad how bad things have become. Turdeau is a war criminal!!!
Perhaps you write quite a bit about what's happening? I live in Commie So. Cal. It's soooooo bad here--Warden Newsom is basically a puppet of the Cabal executing their orders.
This person has said things such as "•Avoided doing anything I thought was potentially unethical.
" HOWEVER HE HAS PAYWALLED MULTIPLE PROTOCOLS in the articles with specific information which is EXTREMELY STRANGE and something you do not see from many others like WHAT IS WITH THAT INSANITY. VERY STRANGE TO SEE WITH THAT SO CHECK THAT BE CAREFUL AND BE WELL PEOPLE.
I wish I could fully understand the science of this article, because I'm sure I'm missing important aspects of the science behind this article. But I do understand and greatly appreciate the cultural importance of this article: It shows doctors like you thinking once again like medical scientists. That is very encouraging.
I try really hard to write these articles for a wide audience so everyone has something they can take away from each article and vary what I present so I'm not always focusing on the same topics.
I consider your substack stuff the best of its kind.
Because I spent decades working with science while practicing environmental law, it is clear to me that you spend an extraordinary amount of time and thought in writing your articles. But the mental effort which goes into your every article may not be apparent to those who are inexperienced with translating science into understandable English. We are all grateful.
Since you worked in environmental law, I would love to get your thoughts on the one I am working about on my thoughts regarding green energy and everything else it ties to.
I will be pleased to comment. Trigger warning: I think it's a hoax. (That the lowly-worm likes of AOC are behind the Green Energy Campaign simply confirms my conclusion.) I have been involved with environmental law since 1970 and worked closely with and in strong opposition to environmental special interest groups for 40 years. I have witnessed the capture (hijacking) of environmentalism by leftist ideologues who use environmental scares and falsehood as screens for ulterior political objectives that are contrary to the public interest. No environmental campaign in US history better fits that description than the Climate Change Hoax.
The climate change debate is daunting scientifically only because of the misleading/distorting/complicating role computer models have been allowed to play in the debate and because much of academia (both science and liberal arts) stands to gain financially, professionally and politically by accepting without challenge the scientific falsehood that planet earth faces an imminent man-made climate catastrophe due to greenhouse gases. The best one volume source of scientifically credible information and objective, unbiased opinion is "Unsettled," a 2021 book by physicist, former Obama DOE climate bureaucrat, and science/energy policy expert Dr. Steven E. Koonin of MIT.Amazon.com: Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters eBook : Koonin, Steven E.: Kindle Store
I hold the same observations you do of what happened to the environmental field.
Just inform people that CO2 only constitutes 0.04% of the atmosphere.
And plants don’t grow without it.
Yada yada
Then watch their pause as the dimmed light hopefully has a shimmer
The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are becoming scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulate, at Bergen, Norway.
Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone.
Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes.
Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm.
Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.
Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.
Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.
I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922, as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post - 100 years ago!!
https://www.nasa.gov/feature/g...
Yes! Nothing happening is unprecedented, except the massive unscientific groupthink that's gripped much of the scientific community.
But ... your link isn't working. Here's another along those same lines: https://realclimatescience.com/2019/06/journalists-competing-for-fakest-arctic-news/
Ha ha - great comment!
You are absolutely right about the role of computer models. Climate "science" is founded on those models, and then they go out into the real world and find anything wrong that they can attribute to CO2. Like, for example, dying reefs, which are either only temporarily bleached or else are dying because of the true cause, overfishing. Much science on that last.
Wouldn't atmospheric warming be seen in atmospheric data? Yes, it would, and we have data from thousands of weather balloons that should confirm the CO2 theory but do not. I've done some of this study on my substack, as have others, but haven't yet put it all together into a coherent whole for others. Time and all these damn distractions what with the threat of an emerging global police state.
Agree that Koonin's book is a great resource.
Very disappointing to me that the medical freedom movement is getting behind a climate fanatic's presidential campaign. I think we have to ask ourselves: do the powers-that-be care whether it's a medical police state or a climate police state? One will enable the other, anyhow.
In any case, for any retired physicists or meteorologists out there a question we need to ask is: what will CO2 do to the lapse rate (NOT what Dr. Pierrehumbert tells us!! This is extremely important to understand, and why it's impossible) and what's the evidence for that in balloon data contained in skew-T diagrams? Lapse rate is key.
I really need to do more work on this, but life .... And anyhow, no matter what data we point to they only answer with, "the science says," don't they?
I haven't had time to read all of the post on water but incidentally I do have Pollock's book on water, which I acquired some time ago but haven't read.
Your thinking seems to comport with mine, so we are both right:)
As for your comment about the Enviro-Whacko RFK Jr., I am very worried that USA will repeat but massively compound the grave errors of its China Virus fiasco by placing him in charge of the Climate Change Hoax. (Electing him president would be like making an arsonist chief of the fire department.) RFK Jr must show that he has learned the China Virus lessons so well as not to repeat them with Climate Change. He must renounce the Climate Change Camapign as a march toward international catastrophe, or we must reject him as a fake but very dangerous leader.
Paladin: Agreed, a massive hoax - including the demonization of carbon.
Thank you for confirming my thoughts.
I thought this article was as easy as it could have been, given the nature of the subject. After the first reading, I'm musing about how much the blood and fluid circulation is dependent on capillary action as well as on the behavior of liquid crystalline water, zeta potential, etc. Naturally it is going to take some time and effort for those of us who are new to this subject to grasp the details and become familiar with the concepts.
And incidentally, you've got me wondering about how big a trampoline I will need to exercise on in the back garden in order to stay fit into my nineties.
I'm sure that if you had a specific question you would receive answers to consider?
Thanks for a thought provoking article. My father died from an issue, where his body could not get rid of the fluid he ingested. His weight would fluctuate from 150 to 250 pounds. His doctor put him in the hospital and gave him diuretics; drained his body of fluird; and it would bring him back down to 150 pounds. After several times, his heart failed. The doctor gave him potassium supplements, but there are many more nutrients that the body needs in order to function. Most foods and beverages many Americans are eating and drinking have little value nutritonally. These missing nutrients are very important in order for our body to work. This is one of the causes of heart failure. Many are not aware of the best source of water. It is what our Creator made for us...organic fruits and vegetables; the higher the percentage of raw one ingests, the better. Raw fruit and vegetables contains: 75% - 94% water.
We do not do a good job of managing the fluids of the body due to what components of fluid homeostasis we tend to focus on. I'm sorry about what happened to your father.
Thank you for your comment. It was a miracle my father livd as long as he did...83. Many years earlier he had been shot by a hold up man...and the bullet missed his heart by a fraction of an inch. The doctor did not give us any hope. However, my mother grandmother and I prayed all night long...and he survived another 39 years.
juicing is a good way to get a lot of the fluid. My fave is apple, carrot and cucumbers. Haven't tried doing the celery that a lot of people swear by.
I followed Dr Norman Walker's juicing info for many years, but became aware of the need for fiber. Dr Walker attributed juicing to saving his life, when he was young. He had been very ill. However, Juicing eliminates fiber; and one gets far too many carbs without the fiber to balance them. I don't use a blender either, because the heat can destroy the enzymes and deteriorate the fiber. This is the downside to these modern gadgets. Juicing is great for people who are ill and don't have the ability to eat much or chew. It will get a lot of nutrition into them. However, it is not as beneficial longterm for people, if they want to stay well.
Actually, because of damage from bowel surgery (and damage from decades of anticholinergic drugging) - I have found that fibre is not as essential as the bowel surgeons would have you believe. Example: People on a carnivorous diet - no fibre or veggies - have a healthy and broadly diverse gut biome of people tested. Sorry, I don't have a study on that one.
I believe that fibre - making excess bulk - can cause as many problems as it solves. Stretching the bowel and causing excess push is yet another form of pressure on the system.
The majority of carnivores live 50 years (masai, eskimos, native ameican plain indians, etc) The problem with fiber...most people deteriorate their bodies from eating the wrong foods, taking substances, etc., because they have no idea of how their bodies work. Then, their bodies break down. It takes years to learn, because the information being dispensed is not valid. Med schools fail to provide doctors with crucial information that they require in order to help patients. They get drug and vaccine info from drug reps sent by Big Pharma. They get limited info on nutrition from patients..very little in med schools. Our government does little nutrition research...it lets the Food Industry and it promotes processed foods. Money has had too much of an influence on our entire society. I was handed books by a good friend 63 years ago and was told to start reading, because I was listening to the wrong people. It's important to do one's own research and not depend on others. The info I saw in the books absolutely shocked me, because I was paying my unhealthy child's doctor for information that created his poor health and was setting him up for more serious health problems in the future. His mental and physical health changed for the better, after I eliminated many of the things the doctor prescribed.
I'm an acupuncturist and I can tell you that the number one cause of pain - particularly nerve pain - is what the Chinese call "blood stasis" - the failure of blood to circulate freely. Releasing a small amount of blood from the right spot will unblock the free flow and quite literally work a miracle. I even wrote a book on the practice, The Complete Guide to Chinese Medicine Bloodletting. Get the blood moving again and you can relieve pain and restore health in very short order. Midwest Doc you are most definitely onto something!!
I repeatedly see the proverb "where there is blocked qi there is pain" play out in my clinical practice.
One of articles I have in an early draft is a summary of Gunter R. Neeb's book on blood stasis and linking it to all the forgotten western research showing blood sludging is a primary cause of disease.
Also question for you. Did I phrase the part about the stagnant stream correctly or do you think it could have been phrase better?
A great saying in Chinese Medicine is that “Blood is the mother of qi, qi is the commander of blood.” The two go hand in glove.
“Qi” can have many meanings depending on context, but here I think it useful to think of qi as nerve conduction. And indeed, blood nourishes the nerves (blood is the mother of qi), and the nerves control blood flow (qi is the commander of blood). Note also that anatomically, nerves, arteries, and veins always travel together.
And I agree wholeheartedly that blood stasis causes inflammation. As a practical matter, the practice called gua sha consistently and dramatically reduces inflammation. I have a regular Crohns patient and a regular interstitial cystitis patient, and whenever either has a flareup, I do gua sha on their upper backs, which almost never fails to stop the flare by the following morning. Gua sha consists of rubbing a lubricant such as coconut oil on their backs, then “scraping” with an instrument such as a porcelain Chinese soup spoon. If inflammation (“heat” in Chinese Medicine) is present, gua sha will raise prominent red petechiae. It looks a bit scary and dramatic, like road rash from a motorcycle accident, but is completely benign and disappears within 4 days or so. It is simple but a deceptively powerful practice.
What does that have to do with the subject at hand? My Crohn’s patient teaches anatomy at a medical school and half-jokingly refers to gua sha as “internal bloodletting.” It breaks capillaries from which blood escapes, causing the petechiae. In Chinese Medicine terms, the red petechia is heat (inflammation) being released, but I have no doubt that it also unblocks blood flow, reducing inflammation.
Finally, I wonder if you have seen this Finnish journal article in which a few hundred men who occasionally donated blood, and a few hundred men who never donated blood, were followed for some 9 years. It concluded that “blood donors had a 88% reduced risk (relative hazard = 0.12, 95% confidence interval 0.02-0.86, p = 0.035) of acute myocardial infarction, compared with non-blood donors.”

I did not know the magnitude that was that big. This is one reason why when I do UV blood irradiation I sometimes do not return all the withdrawn blood to the circulation.
"It concluded that “blood donors had a 88% reduced risk (relative hazard = 0.12, 95% confidence interval 0.02-0.86, p = 0.035) of acute myocardial infarction, compared with non-blood donors.”
That's fascinating.
If I weren't so very needle and doctor phobic though, I probably would have died years ago. And I also would probably have taken those highly safe and clearly effective although "experimental" mRNA injections recommended by Theresa Tam et al, 2 plus years ago.
But still, very interesting stuff!
This beloved doctor's Substack comments section is the best. ❤
You’re right, what’s called TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) is not traditional at all - it is indeed a watered-down version created by committees under Mao after WWII. I had to learn it to pass the Boards, but then promptly unlearned it and don’t use it at all. Chinese Medicine has been around a long time and you couldn’t get your arms around all of it in ten lifetimes, so the best anyone can do is try to master a few aspects of it. Personally I use Dr. Tan’s balance method, Master Tung acupuncture, other “imaging” or “microsystem” acupuncture methods such as auricular and other, Master Tung bloodletting (my specialty), cupping, gua sha, and also “dry needling style” trigger point acupuncture with e-stim when called for. Occasionally IR “cold laser” for a few things such as plantar fasciitis, where it can work wonders.
Why doesn’t Chinese Medicine go deeper? Well it goes a lot deeper toward the cause than allopathic medicine but I agree one should always strive to go as deep toward the cause as possible. The deepest causes are usually emotional and lifestyle related and I try to address those when possible. But as a practical matter, people come to me with pain and want a fairly quick solution, and are not always open to the much-more-time-consuming work of changing the deepest causes. There are so many barriers to changing one’s lifestyle and emotional approach to life. I do point them toward Dr. David Hanscom’s website and book “Back In Control” frequently, and I teach them EFT and Expressive Writing most of the time. Whether they follow up or not is up to them. Thanks for your thought-provoking comment.
What an amazing article going into so much detailed information. I must admit it is ‘way over my head’ but I appreciate your ability to explain. You are a wonderful human and compassionate doctor that truly cares about your patients.
Thank you. I try to have a mix of things on here rather than sticking to the same theme so there's something for everyone.
Much appreciated.
Cranial nerves. I have noticed so many symptoms since the C-19 mRNA vaccine. Especially the right eye. Are these tiny capillaries clogging up and creating all of these Ophthalmic tics? I am not sure why, but it seems that the right eye is predominant.
Lids and leveling changes are amongst the most common. We are beginning to look like we are in a Salvadore Dali painting. I have never seen changes like this occur so quickly.
I am always thrilled by this series. I appreciate how difficult it is to present a lesson as complex as this so that we all understand, but you do!
I worked for a NeuroOphthalmologist who also possessed a talent for teaching. Golden.
Thank you.
It's very common, especially with the abducens nerve and now that I've pointed it out my colleagues are noticing it as well. I tried to detail it in this article, since Andrew Moulden showed the exact same thing happened with other vaccine reactions. Essentially, a few of them have nuclei that are in water shed regions that are highly vulnerable to the microclotting or microclumping of blood vaccines cause. The spike protein vaccines have a stronger ability to that, so more cranial nerve palsys are seen.

I read that article you linked and I sure wish I had discovered your work sooner. I call it superb and will be reading it several times when I can find some time...
Interesting. A few days ago, a 60 yo coworker of one of my sisters (who never went beyond high school), complained that she was seeing double and my sister took her to an ER thinking she could be having a stroke (don't ask me how she came up with that) and enroute the coworker mentioned that her left leg was feeling heavy. Apparently she was having symptoms of a stroke, but I know no further details. The coworker has had 2 covid jabs.
I view most of those as being episodes of blood sludging that largely resolve (but there are often subtle defects that remain most don't recognize).
I asked my sister more about the symptom of double vision but that's all she knew, unfortunately. There's a slight chance that I may be able to talk with the woman with the symptoms but it could be a while so I hope she remembers what she was experiencing. I'm dying to know!
Apparently she got an IV so maybe that alone will help as I understood from a quick read of your article.
Right eye! Yes! For me after injection and infection.
Thank you for sharing. Sorry that happened to you. Both COVID and the vaccine can do it, but the vaccine is much more typical.
This is your masterpiece so far. Don’t stop
Thank you, I try.
You do embody an active ongoing intent.
That you would continue to do more is clearly your desire
and also a fulfilment that shares on to others.
Thanks for being you.
One of the first pieces of evidence I remember seeing, for what the covid injections were doing in the body, was a German doctor who routinely looked at her patients' blood under a microscope, and she showed the rouleaux formations in the RBC, which looked horrendous. No way they *didn't know* this was happening.
Doc, thank you for this article. Why blood cells clump together forming micro clots inside pulmonary capillaries is one of the most important aspects about COVID that I took from Dr McCullough’s early writings regarding why putting patients with low sats onto ventilators could cause over pressurized tissue to essentially burst and in many cases the patients on ventilator therapy could expire due to pulmonary edema. At least that was my take away and I’m not sure it is entirely correct or if I’m just on the right path.
As a practicing EMT our call volume for breathing problems have increased dramatically over the last few years, especially in younger patients. I am beginning to think that the mRNA injections might have some role in that.
It would be beneficial I think if you could summarize in layman’s terms a few key points on how the fluid is moving without the pumping mechanism. It was an excellent example of how water ascends plants and trees that do not have pumps. More examples like that will help my less trained mind understand the physics better.
Thank you again for your devotion to medicine and scientific discourse and discovery. As a practicing recovering pharmaceutical sales person, I absolutely understand your comments regarding practicing clinicians and the conflict that they have a between their employers, and their patients. I called on many doctors who would simply prescribe a drug to satisfy a patient if they believe that the drug would not harm the patient rather than taking the time to explain to the patient why the drug that they asked for was not appropriate. prescription drug advertising is a negative driver. It has done more harm in this country I believe than any single act endorsed by the FDA. Unfortunately, the intersection of big Pharma, big media and big government has formed a bond that contributed to the decline of scientific processes in favor of controlling the narrative to make money the end all and be all.
God Bless! Keep educating your readers!
Thank you! I completely agree with your point about doctors and feel its a shame most people don't realize the time constraints they are under which put most of them into a give pills next model of practice (which I'm sure was deliberately made that way by the industry).
Yes, and the refrain was always, ‘if I don’t give them what they think they need, they will doctor-shop and get it from another doctor.’ With an increase in the number of PCPs employed by hospital systems it has gotten worse. I’m sure most of the PCP’s don’t spend enough Hx taking time these days and focus more on the physical exam for new patients. They let their MA’s take the Hx and likely don’t spend much time analyzing it. Sad. Community paramedic medicine should have a great impact on primary care when there are enough PMs to start up programs. We should go to a model where PMs work directly for PCPs in underserved communities. Hospital ERs are so crowded that almost every day all beds and triage filled. EMS bed delays I’m sure are up almost everywhere. It doesn’t have to be this way but it is what big pharma and medical-pharma complex wants.
Re: "... and the refrain was always, ‘if I don’t give them what they think they need, they will doctor-shop and get it from another doctor.’
I live in a country that provides its citizens with a universal health-care system.
I'm not in it.
My son has been on a "wait list" for a Gp for over a year. The few Doctors we have aren't "accepting new patients."
The only option is "Urgent Care" (with 4-6 hour wait to see a physician), a Walk-In Clinic (if you don't arrive by mid-morning there's a good chance you'll be refused service...), or a 7-8 hour stint in "Emergency".
Our health care "system" is utterly broken.
My mother has had a really nice but incompetent and disinterested physician for the last 15 years.
6 minute appointments. Have a chat. No "cures", just meds. Blood pressure cuff. Listens to her racing heart...
Fill outs the blood lab requisition. Prints it out. No "follow-up".
No one "doctor-shops" in this country!
Naturopaths have mostly opted out of that "system". Your first comprehensive visit will cost a minimum of $200 out of pocket.
If you"re employed, and have access to employer funded "extended" medical insurance benefits: that insurance may pick up a small portion...
I'm fortunate in that I just don't go to doctors. If I feel unwell, which is rare, I research home remedies.
So far so good. I'm 65. No health issues except recent "ear ringing".
"Covid19" was, and still is, a "PCR" test result and panic propaganda mass formation event.
Not an actual "pandemic". No one I know, or knew, "died of Covid."
Fear spreads like wildfire.
Many folks are still in the throes of this (mostly) media fueled psychosis.
(Just my opinion folks, based upon my personal observations... 😉)
Go out there. Take a walk. Often. Barefoot if possible.
Eat clean. Cook your own nutritious food. (Or learn how to... 😉)
Laugh at, not with, Joe Biden et al.
Heard clips of last night's "event" blasting from my mum's TV, at 38 decibels, while I baked her a batch of Portuguese buns. (.08 cents as, vs .45 to .55 cents at "The Store.)
Old Joe is unbearable. (Trudeau is worse, in different ways, but that's another story few Americans seem interested in.)
American and Canadian MSM Talking Bobble Heads reading teleprompters can't see that this leader of "The Free World" is a demented old fool, and that the "free" world will be in even deeper shit if he wins a 2nd term (Nope. Nothing but hearts & flowers.)
Then news about the impending "Coronation"... (How many millions of pounds are being spent on that Pomp & Circumstance, but at least we can finally turn the furnace off...)
And how about those Maple Leafs eh?
Bread. And circuses.
So, I roll my eyes and laugh.
Pop a few basic supplements. The ones still relatively cheap, so kind of still within my austere budget.
Thinking about taking Ivermectin too, 6mg (liquid) 1x per week, as a prophylactic.
Probably not. Should save my remaining stash for a family member emergency. (Fully jabbed and always "sick".)
Pet a cat. (My son has a previously feral cat who tolerates my occasional presence.)
Picked daffodils for my mother's recently "dead relatives" pictorial memorial display, and 24/7 candle light vigil... Her newest obsession.
Did some dead-heading and gardening chores.
Between dough rises.
Life goes on for me, whilst still stuck in Canuckistan. Thank goodness I got rid of my TV 10 years ago and only get occasional glimpses into my 90 year old mum's "world view".
Very sad, and scary, and incomprehensible to her.
The "new world".
She's triple jabbed, didn't ever catch "The Virus", never leaves the safety of her property, which she won't walk around any longer.
"Too dangerous". (Even with the new walker...)
She could fall. She gets "dizzy". Having been prescribed so many "prescriptions" that her cardiologist and GP feel that she "needs".
They will continue to keep her "alive" but not living.
Along with those safe and effective mRNA jabs...
Still petrified of Covid. (Still disinfects any door knob I touch.)
The Grim Reaper could be just around the corner...
Had a boo at that massive memorial shrine table. It'll get larger.
Must remember to purchase more votive candles. Was notified yesterday that another elderly family friend just died.
"In Care."
Live your LIFE folks. ❤
End of psycho rant. 😂
Think you will enjoy and profit from listening to https://twitter.com/NutriDetect
Will do. Thanks!
The US system is broken in this fashion also- too many ill. People can get in to see the doctor, but it's only to be handed another pill.

I watched this video of a public meeting, which I came across on the "World Doctors Alliance" group on the Telegram app, and thought it was a very helpful, constructive, non-threatening approach.
This lady did NONE of the "this is what I know that you ought to know" attitude that you find with 00DEZ, for example. She is merely offering help and support to help people with what they want to achieve, with the situational awareness that they already have.
The difficulty that people experience with the "you need to wake up to this" approach is that not everyone is in the same position, and some or many feel threatened and get either defensive, or aggressive, or dismiss things that conflict with how they understand the world currently.
The recognition that people need the help and co-operation of other like-minded people, on the other hand, is pretty universal.
Neat follow up on LCW.👍🏼
I’ve seen a huge change under the microscope regarding the changed zeta potential and thus more RBC aggregation.
There’s way more happening than most know inside the blood and circulatory systems of humans now. Doctors absolutely don’t know.
Most don’t know what to look for or how to find it in a lab setting much less a doctor that mainly reads peer reviewed publications on doctored paid for research and just orders up labs without knowing their way around advanced lab equipment.
You perspectives seem to be different
Look at retractionwatch.com with over 40000 retracted scientific papers.
The game wardens steer the science that is known and unknown to the herd.
I’ve seen spontaneous crystallization with intersticial fluids under the right conditions via advanced slide mounts and DF and Phase contrast microscopy.
But that’s nothing.
What I can make happen on a slide is virtually unknown to the scientific world because I don’t publish my findings.
Thank you; I completely forgot to put the live blood cell analysis study in here. I study science because I like to learn how things work and come up with insights that may be helpful, so it lends itself to this process.
I would love to get my hands on a phase contrast microscope to examine mushroom spores. You wouldn't happen to know of one that needs a good home, would you?
Olympus make the best phase contrast in the business.
Look at the CX43 with a nice video camera
Thanks. I only need it for a hobby, so I don't want to spend a bunch. Still I appreciate the suggestion and will look into it.
Great article.
Do you know Steven Clavey's Fluid Physiology and Pathology in Traditional Chinese Medicine?
https://www.sciencedirect.com/book/9780443071942/fluid-physiology-and-pathology-in-traditional-chinese-medicine
Never seen that one.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Dr. For this information. While I’m just a Mom and learning and observing everything. I so appreciate your analysis I think your on to something with all this. I recently just watched this video explaining about water and salt and our cells.
Since we know our diets are terrible with all the processed foods and people with preexisting health conditions. Most people are nutrient deficient and their bodies can’t absorb water through their cells without sodium. We all know the table salt is bad! But the good salts like sea salt are full of the beneficial magnesium!
Just a thought.
I hope this helps with helping so many who are sick! Our bodies tell us when something is wrong if we listen to them!

I will have to read your article several times. Thank you for writing it. I watched a really interesting video yesterday by Dr Been he explained using some results from RAMAN spectroscopy how Spike was damaging mitochondria and got to the electron level. Quite early in Covid I watched another video that basically said we should treat covid at the electronic level. The suggested treatments included IR therapy, colloidal gold, Ozone and increasing oxytocin. I bought an IR blanket and although I have not used it lots of times I have found it to be very therapeutic as have others who have tried it. I have also liked reading about the electric universe - everything is electric - it all makes much more sense and makes science far more exciting.
Thank you.
Regarding the heart being/not being a pump. A pump in a closed system of piping has to balance the amount it sucks in versus the amount it pumps out. I would imagine that this would be far to simplistic for a biological system.
Perhaps one needs to try to visualize the heart as 2 sections: suction and pressure. The sections wouldn't be just the heart organ, but would need to include all the vessels on the suction and the pressure sides.
The vortexing action of the heart is a key function.
If you haven't seen the helical nature of the heart youtubes - do - but then bring this to the electrical fiuction of the pulse created as a regulator of the body with itself as a balanced environment.
Manel Ballister gave an interview with Tom Cowan on this.
His witness was the hearts on 'death row' (he worked in transplant surgery) were healed using energy healing - I think Cranial work - but by implication the Field is Open - its a matter or reconnection or regrounding ourselves in life's cycles, rythms and communion.
(Which I intuit will also restore zeta).
The balance point of zeta is not really zero-point but one-point or unity point from which energy is drawn and release back into.
Equilibrium is a dynamic balance within the currency of our momentum - or a current moment. Dissociated or fragmented attentions can be crazy, yet at the depth there is stillness of being.
Frank Chester's intuitive geometry brought up interesting reflection on the heart. A completely different approach.
i see correspondences in the heart's musculature with the cross section of a Birkeland current (the EM filaments that network the Univers to look like a neural net)
