This is now true in office practices. I went into private practice hoping to avoid this, but Obama Care and Covid finally destroyed it. I suggest you read the whole article.

I entered medicine because I genuinely cared about patients. Most physicians did. That is the part many people outside medicine still do not fully understand. Doctors do not sacrifice years of their lives, miss holidays, destroy their sleep schedules, and carry this kind of emotional burden because they dream about maximizing throughput metrics or documentation compliance. We entered medicine because we wanted to help people. It sounds simple saying that now, maybe even naïve, but it is true.

Somewhere along the line medicine changed. Hospitals changed. The language changed first because that is always how these transformations begin. Patients slowly became “throughput issues.” Beds became “capacity management.” Discharges became “flow optimization.” The ICU became “utilization.” Doctors became “providers.” Everything slowly started sounding less human and more operational. And eventually, hospitals stopped feeling like places centered around caring for human beings and started feeling like giant processing centers where movement itself became the priority.

The strange thing is that many younger doctors probably think this is normal because it is the only medicine they have known. They inherited the system after it changed.

The electronic medical record sped up much of this change more than people realize. Hospitals promoted the electronic medical record (EMR) as a big step forward. We were told it would improve communication, reduce mistakes, streamline work, and let doctors spend more time with patients. Now, that almost sounds like a joke. The EMR did not free doctors. It buried them.

When doctors spend more time serving systems, medicine changes. When physicians are afraid to speak honestly, medicine changes.

Among 2,858 participants who’d been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s by the average 15-year followup, the team revealed that approximately 32% of participants with Alzheimer’s disease reported no egg consumption.

On the other hand, Alzheimer’s association was lowest among those who reported eating eggs at least five times per week.

Further, “no significant interactions” were observed based on race, ethnicity, or gender—suggesting the effect appeared to have occurred equally among participants (though it should be noted that data from any specific religious group could hold inherent statistical biases.)

The research team concluded that “moderate egg intake was independently associated with a lower incidence of Alzheimer’s disease, even after adjusting for other dietary factors, demographic variables, lifestyle behaviors, and comorbidities.”

They attribute this to the presence of nutrients like choline and DHA (an omega-3 fatty acid), which support memory, “synapse maintenance,” and other brain health factors. Also credited were “high-quality protein rich in tryptophan”—facilitating restorative sleep—and leutein, caretenoids, and omega-3 acids in eggs that improve cognitive performance and reduce oxidative stress.

“In addition,” the study added, “there is growing evidence that vitamin B12 is a key nutrient for brain health,” citing that eggs yolks in particular are a solid source of this vitamin. They explain that B12 plays a role in metabolizing fats and regulating neuroinflammation, among other advantages.

One reason why I like the beach!

What we do know for certain is that water alters our consciousness—and experts believe we can leverage this phenomenon. It’s known among researchers as the “Blue Mind.”

Research shows that looking at water, or even just pictures of it, can lower blood pressure and improve mental health. Scholars have begun to study “blue spaces”—oceans, lakes, ponds, rivers—as an outgrowth of research on how people respond to “green spaces.” This is an urban planning initiative that has established that nature improves mental and physical health and society as a whole.

Some studies have been done on how floating in water impacts the brain. Floatation‐Reduced Environmental Stimulation Therapy (REST), for example, “reduces stimulation of the human nervous system by minimizing sensory signals from visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, thermal, tactile, vestibular, gravitational, and proprioceptive channels,” according to a 2021 paper.

In other words, when you’re floating in water, you’re not connected to all the things that make your world familiar—like gravity and friction—so you can let go. Flotation calms the parts of your brain considered responsible for self-referential thought. And that can reduce depression and anxiety.

Another 2022 study based in the United Kingdom noted that just living near an ocean or having a sea view is associated with improved mental well-being, reduced mental distress, and reduced antidepressant medication usage. Researchers also know that “blue zones”—or areas of the world with high populations of healthy, long-lived people—happen to fall in coastal areas, like Okinawa, Japan, though diet and social factors also likely play a role.

For example, a 2017 study substituted pictures of landscapes (water, forest, mountain, and urban) for the real thing so they could use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to see how people’s brains responded. Sure enough, when participants viewed the water environment after experiencing stress, their electromyography rate—or the measure of electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles—decreased and respiratory rate slowed, indicating more relaxation and restorative benefits, respectively.

Better now?

David Morens, a former top advisor to Covid Czar Tony Fauci, was indicted on Monday and “charged with conspiracy against the United States; destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations; concealment, removal, or mutilation of records; and aiding and abetting,” according to the Justice Department press release.

Morens allegedly helped top federal health officials cover up the potential role of federal grants in spurring the Covid pandemic. The Freedom of Information Act – FOIA – requires federal agencies to preserve and disclose federal records with some narrow exceptions. In early 2021, Morens emailed a colleague: “I learned from our foia lady here how to make emails disappear after i am foia’d but before the search starts, so i think we are all safe.”

Morens added: “Plus i deleted most of those earlier emails after sending them to gmail.” In a previous email, he assured his collaborators: “I have spoken to our FOIA folks” and “I should be safe from future FOIAs. Don’t ask how….”

Fauci doesn’t need to worry about getting indicted since President Joe Biden, on his last morning in office, pardoned any crimes that Fauci might have committed in the previous decade. Fauci justified Covid mandates because average citizens “don’t have the ability” to determine what is best for them. Congressional investigations revealed that Fauci was at the center of string-pulling to shirk responsibility on Covid.

This gives a brief look at one side of what is wrong with medicine:

Other authors such as Harvey Risch and Richard Amerling in The Next Wave is Brave and Toby Rogers in his extensive Substacks (Part 1 and Part 2) eloquently explain the fallacies of “Evidence”-Based Medicine. I would only like to add my own concerns regarding how such slavish attention to what has been “proven” outsources intellectual advancement and increases intellectual entropy. If we are forced to only employ what has been deemed to have “evidence,” we will never progress. Medicine will stagnate as the positive outliers will be ignored or, even worse, actively discouraged.

Imagine if such an approach was employed in the treatment of ulcers! We never would have learned of the causative role played by the bacterium, H. pylori. As it was, the active discouragement of such critical thinking by Barry Marshall and Robin Warren delayed definitive treatment for years.

Even more ominous was the canceling of thought on the early treatment of Covid and the “accepted science” of the gene therapy of the “vaccine.” We are still living in the shadow of this active punishment of critical thinking by the academic medical establishment.

“Precision Medicine” was put forward as way to improve treatment. Instead of pursuing “Truth”, medicine seems to have tagline, “Good Enough.”

The whole story is worth a read, but here are some of the highlights:

The official story surrounding the Andes hantavirus cruise ship outbreak keeps shifting, but one detail should make any rational person stop and think.

Authorities quarantined healthy passengers for weeks aboard a confined expedition vessel while, at the same time, at least one co**se remained on the ship for nearly two weeks.

Think about that for a moment.

If your actual goal is to minimize the possibility of human-to-human transmission inside a sealed maritime environment, keeping a dead infected body aboard while confining hundreds of people into shared airspace seems like an odd strategy.

The media, meanwhile, has focused almost entirely on the “rare human transmission” narrative while largely ignoring the far more obvious issue: ships are historically one of the most efficient rodent habitats ever created by man.

Rats and ships go together like barnacles and saltwater.

For centuries, maritime law, naval engineering, and port sanitation protocols have revolved around one basic fact: rodents thrive aboard ships. Cargo vessels, cruise ships, food storage areas, bilges, rope lockers, waste systems, mechanical spaces, and dock loading zones create ideal rat ecosystems. That is not a conspiracy theory. That is maritime history.

And hantaviruses are rodent-borne diseases.

Yet oddly, much of the reporting has downplayed the possibility of environmental contamination, food contamination, aerosolized rodent waste, or shipboard sanitation failures. Instead, the public is being pushed toward dramatic narratives emphasizing close-contact human spread.

Why?

Because “mysterious human transmission” generates headlines. Rodent control failures and contaminated food handling are much less cinematic.

Why the official public health court intellectuals and the media got it all wrong

This is a great description of what is occurring now:

Over 40 percent of U.S. adults are now obese. Diabetes continues to explode. Cardiovascular disease remains the nation’s leading killer. Cancer rates in younger adults continue to rise. Meanwhile, researchers from Johns Hopkins estimated that medical errors themselves may contribute to more than 250,000 deaths per year, potentially making preventable medical harm the third leading cause of death in America.

Yet somehow the institutional energy of public health repeatedly gravitates toward regulating raw milk farmers, warning people not to kiss chickens, and issuing carefully branded panic messaging campaigns over statistically tiny risks.

Why?

Because modern public health increasingly behaves less like a system designed to improve population health and more like a managerial communications apparatus. The goal is no longer primarily to build a healthier citizenry. The goal is to demonstrate vigilance, maintain bureaucratic relevance, manage narratives, and continuously remind the public that experts are monitoring every conceivable risk, no matter how trivial.

And triviality matters here.

A civilization that cannot seriously confront ultra-processed food, metabolic collapse, sedentary lifestyles, pharmaceutical overuse, hospital-acquired infections, or iatrogenic injury, but can mobilize nationwide media campaigns over backyard chickens, is not practicing rational public health prioritization.

It is practicing theater.

And now we are watching the same cycle unfold yet again with hantavirus.

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) encompass all disorders that affect both the central and peripheral nervous systems and are widespread worldwide. NDs lack effective treatments or cures and represent major challenges in public health.

It was found that patients with significant loads of toxic metals (TMs) were all affected by ND, and that their severe symptoms were correlated with the severity of intoxication. It was also shown that chelation therapies with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (CaNa2EDTA) (hereafter EDTA) are effective in eliminating the burden of TMs in humans, and that EDTA has many other important functions, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and improvement of diabetes and it's complications.

Chelation therapy has been found to improve neurodegenerative diseases and many other conditions.
