Rest assured there are doctors who knew there was something wrong, and refused to follow the money. Instead, we stood on a hill, even if that meant standing alone.

I stood in front of Newsom’s capital building steps. I petitioned him to veto AB 2098. Instead of being helpful as a Governor, he approved the bill and within 10 days, the Medical Board of California put out their first request for me to surrender my license.

That request turned into multiple requests that eventually resulted in them coming to my house and demanding I submit 3 medical records - without patient permission. I refused.

I started a Private Member Association (PMA) and operate under private contracts.

All of us in the medical freedom movement have lost something to do what is right. And we wouldn’t change a thing.

Hello! Love your work. Thank you so much for dropping by in the comments!

Thank you ~ All my pleasure! I want everyone to know that they didn't bribe all of us. We stood our ground and refused to give in. We may have lost everything that the world holds dear, some of us living in a motor home or staying with friends. We may have had the medical board show up to our office, or our house. Or both.

But we decided what was right and what was wrong. And we chose to stay in the light.

Make no mistake ~ this was a war of money and jobs. But the biggest war was spiritual ~ keeping the Hippocratic oath, doing no harm, and asking God to leas and guide us through the power of the Holy Spirit.

It was a matter of spiritual life or death. Thank you for letting me express myself here:) and wishing you all blessings in all your wonderful writings!

Thank you Dr Aranda for being brave. We need our medical professionals to use their God given talents for the good of their patients and not so much for their reimbursement rates... I applaud you ( and I pay my physician out of pocket for his services also)

It's sometimes scary to be brave, because it makes each step feel like a walk down a dark hallway. To be sure, I have learned to answer to God, and not man. When we do that, then it doesn't matter what they do to me, or what power I may lose. The only thing that matters is that all is well with my soul, before God.

You are a genuine human being and work for our creator / the higher power / God and not the fake man made authorities that people worship . That removes the fear factor and allows you to do the “ right” thing . Unfortunately so Many doctors over the last 3 years especially have been cowards, refuse to discuss anything outside their comfort zone . I cannot even look them in the eye .. I feel no respect for them . You are a true doctor standing for purity which is what the white coat is supposed to be indicative off . You will remain on the right side of history. People are waking up . We are in a spiritual war. Thank you dear .

Thank you so much. I did not come from an easy life, but Our Father God gave me everything, including the gift of healing, and I've known it for a long time. My experience is unique in that I had a Near-Death Experience (NDE). My soul has been on a journey for some time, part of it spent disabled and bedridden from a traumatic brain injury, dysautonomia/POTS, mast cell activation factor (MCAS), and more, for twelve years. Looking at the ceiling. So now I know what it feels like to be treated from the patient side of the drapes, and like we have all learned for ourselves, I can go through anything.

While in the beginning I was too weak to fight, after No More Tears (just out on Amazon 3 days ago) comes The REbel PAtient as soon as I finish it - I go from barely existing to fighting and not taking any nonsense as a patient. The white coat deserves a Substack itself, and I now wear a tribal skirt with a purple ribbon to signify healing, and ribbons the color of all human races: red, white, black, and yellow. The white coat is stiff, which doctor's shouldn't be with their patients, resembles purity but is not pure, and is a false god. Don't let anyone take away your health. Be in charge.

I wouldn't like to judge those who haven't found the courage that Dr Aranda has until I've walked in their shoes. The pressures of all kinds must have been very difficult to resist, and who knows what inner turmoil some must be suffering :( That, however, is not to excuse their action/inaction.

The biggest pressure was money. Doctors with loans, big houses, kids in college. They didn't want to lose their jobs, as most of them work for Big Rockefeller Medicine, not in solo practice, because they have been closing practices for years, absorbing doctors into HMOs. Most medical freedom doctors, like me, are independent.

Rather than succumb to the medical board, I sold my house and cars, moved out of state and live in a nice little home with two storage spaces. Next on my list is to get rid of everything in storage, minimize, and prepare for food shortages by starting a co-op in my neighborhood.

I want to stop grocery shopping and grow lots of my own fruits/veges, plus get meat directly from a farmer. No more Amazon or Walmart. Use a credit card that doesn't go through big banking.

All this makes me grateful for the decisions I made, because I got out of the rat-race and see much more of the proper preparations that need to be made for the future.

Love to hear of others who are preparing for food shortages. I have been doing so for 4 decades. It's very time consuming and it's a lot to learn it and live it. I feed my dog from the freshly grown and prepped foods and he just turned 17. Great way to live for all Gods creatures.

How amazing that you have been so far ahead of the crowd. Cooking from scratch and cleaning are both time-consuming but it has to be done. The less complicated our food, the better it is for all of us. And may our pets also gain a healthy benefit!

Fantastic, thank you, so sorry you had to go through all this. Private contracts are the way to go. Unfortunately so many people see themselves as passive recipients of medical care and are not interested in being active in their own care, and they will go along with whatever Medicare or their HMO gives them.

I’m happy to know of a few doctors such as yourself who are exceptions, and their exceptional patients!

Thank you... it was stressful, but I just went through each day on its own. After being bedridden for 12 years with POTS, no one can hurt me more than I've already been hurt. Now I love to help patients get cured and heal from the inside out.

God bless you, Margaret! I know there are many GOOD doctors, but we never see you on TV. Let me tell you, TV experts, TV doctors, TV this and TV that are 99% BS! Ah, and CONSENSUS. Another a-ma-zing concept. CON-CENSUS!

Right? Even in the medical freedom movement, I don't have a big face out there. I've been busy writing books for the public, and am readying for my newest Guidebook to COVID Care that includes Medical Directives and Hospital Hostage relief from situation.
