Re: Reasons why I will not be getting injected for the Wuhan

Wait I thought the powers that be, and/or democrats, and/or governments, all want to keep on injecting us? Hmmm, this throws a slight wrench into that narrative. You actually believe that the science will override politics in 2021? i.e. that there will not be found some reason to change their mind ...

Re: Carnivore Diet Experiment

I'll just comment on the don't reply on supplements:

Getting nutrients from food is always preferred, but many people are deficient in magnesium, many in zinc (though not on carnivore diet).

Fish oil (depending on your diet) and Co-q10 (if you're over 40) are also benefitcial

Re: Biden a Disaster?

p.s. Thomas Sowell's book, "The Vision of the Anointed" goes into a lot of detail on the evils of social engineering policies and their unintended consequences. It's a very good read, highly recommended - and I would suggest getting it in physical form as it's likely high on the list of t...

Re: Reasons why I will not be getting injected for the Wuhan

Untrue assumptions? 1. That I have patients. Not that kind of doctor. Rarely interact with patients, and don't manage any. 2. That advocating for less than conventional points of view within the medical system can produce change. I know that for a fact because (unrelated to covid/vaccines) I have ce...

18 months ago I would have considered this thought crazy, but like the open US border, has it occurred to anyone that the Afghanistan result was desired?

I don't know about you, but if I was in a job where I strongly believed my colleagues were doing something that was detrimental to the well-being of my customers / the population at large, I would find a way to actively -- not passively -- resist. You are making lots of untrue assumptions. Talking ...

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion

Forgetting all theory and mumbo jumbo, if you examine the last 18 months and what has happened you can learn a lot about people and control. Just like examining the last 18 months you can learn a lot about what used to be (but is no longer) science/medicine*. Really another conversation, but what us...

Re: Reasons why I will not be getting injected for the Wuhan

It may be difficult to practice medicine soon if you are not vaccinated. My hospital mandates it as do several others in the area. The only exceptions allowed are those CDC mandates. Is the reason your hospital is mandating it for its liability reasons? In the hospital where I worked, the organized...

Re: Reasons why I will not be getting injected for the Wuhan

Hopefully a note from my physician + filling out a form should allow me to avoid it. "Wait. . . I AM a physician!" Not sure what you are asking. yes I am a physician, but they wouldn't like me writing my own note, especially because the exemption is related to an autoimmune issue (not in ...

Re: Alternatives to Modern Medicine

I have no desire to talk anyone into anything. There are bad practitioners in every field e.g. I had to find another orthopedist because the highly thought of one I was seeing wasn't treating me optimally. Part of the problem is that people are individuals and 50 people with disease x don't all have...

I followed the exercises he recommended (standard stuff) and it resolved within a couple weeks. I forget the difference between sciatica and disk, but a Ch...
