Last week I felt a shift...
Not long ago, science justified barbaric practices—lobotomies, toxic medical interventions, and procedures we now deem cruel and primitive. We look back in disbelief yet refuse to consider that today’s “accepted science” may one day face the same scrutiny. Why do we cling so desperately to the illusion of certainty? Perhaps because, in a world where power is hoarded and profit dictates research outcomes, questioning the narrative feels dangerous.
For over 15 years, I have worked within the medical system. Some may dismiss my perspective because I practice alternative medicine as an acupuncturist, functional medicine practitioner, and intuitive healer, but I see this as an advantage. I do my research, I stay up to date on optimizing the human body, and, above all, I trust its wisdom. Where Western medicine sees fragility, I see resilience. Where it views the body as inherently flawed, I see a self-healing masterpiece. Even when we poison it, neglect it, and suppress its cries for help, it still fights for us… it still wants to heal.
In my holistic wellness practice, I have witnessed thousands of people recover from diseases and ailments dismissed or unresolved by conventional medicine. I have seen, time and again, where the system fails to promote true healing. This isn’t theory or hearsay… I witness it every day. People are turned away because their suffering isn’t deemed “bad enough.” Patients are told, “It’s all in your head,” or handed another prescription to mask symptoms without addressing the root cause. I see the devastation of side effects, the toll of unnecessary procedures, and the chronic reliance on pharmaceuticals never designed for long-term use. Again and again, I see outdated science being used to disempower rather than heal… a system that often worsens the very conditions it claims to treat.
I do not reject Western medicine. It is extraordinary at emergency care, saving lives in moments of crisis. But it is not a system of health. It is a system of symptom management. Suppression is not healing. Cutting away a symptom does not cure the cause. And yet, we have been conditioned to believe that the doctor knows best, that health is found in a prescription pad rather than in what we feed our bodies, how we move, how we process emotions, and how we live.
Doctors are not the enemy. Most enter medicine with the purest intentions: to help. But the system they are educated within is not healthcare… it is disease management. And it is steeped in corruption. Simple research reveals this.
Sovereignty begins with reclaiming our power: our ability to choose, to discern, to govern our own bodies, minds, and lives. True sovereignty does not threaten another’s… it protects it. Yet, without this understanding, we turn it into something to fear, something to hate. The result? Division. We see it in our political atmosphere, in society, in our beliefs—people slinging hatred like careless children tossing stones into a pond, never considering the ripples they create.
Last week, RFK was confirmed. Regardless of where you stand politically or whether you believe he is qualified, I see this as a pivotal moment for one reason: the power of choice. For years, we have been losing our right to choose how we care for our bodies… the right to question, the right to say no, the right to explore alternative paths to healing. And when we lose the power to choose our own health, we lose the foundation of true freedom.
Science itself has become a religion… blindly followed, never questioned, and enforced with dogmatic fervor. But science is not meant to be static. Its foundation is exploration, not certainty. A hypothesis is not an unshakable truth… it is a doorway to deeper understanding. Yet, in a world consumed by greed and control, questioning science has become heresy. We condemn those who challenge the status quo, even though history has shown time and again that what we once called “scientific truth” often crumbles under new discoveries.
My belief, if you care to hear it, is this: many of us are looking outside ourselves for healing and wholeness, placing our sense of safety in systems that were never meant to hold our sovereignty. We then blame the government, the financial system, the medical institutions, the education system… believing these external forces are responsible for our well-being. But in doing so, we hand over our power. We surrender our sovereignty to institutions, then rage when they wield the power we freely gave them.
And so, today, I celebrate. Not because a man was confirmed, but because a door has opened. Because someone is willing to question the narrative and confront the massive entities that control our healthcare system. This is a call to reclaim our most sacred right: to choose, to heal, to truly be free.
