By no means is every doctor an idiot. But sadly, I think we have more of them who are idiots today than at any other time in modern history. And the reason for that is quite evident. Big Pharma has taken over the entire medical-industrial complex and as a result, they make the rules. And those rules were established to protect Big Pharma’s power and profit above all else. That is why most allopathic physicians today believe that the answer to every medical problem comes in the form of a pharmaceutical or some other treatment that contributes to Big Pharma’s obscene profits.
Very few doctors today seem at all interested in getting to the root cause of any medical problem. Instead of devoting the time and energy to figuring out why you have diabetes, or high blood pressure or multiple sclerosis, they choose to dispense pharmaceuticals that are intended to relieve the symptoms and leave the underlying cause of the patient’s condition unaddressed. That does not sound like a “cure.”
Making matters worse, most doctors are employees these days. They are employed by giant corporate “health systems” that are beholden to Big Pharma. As a result, most doctors have to toe the party line, follow orders and treat their patients in accordance with “guidelines” that were developed more for the purpose of profit than patient well-being. I do wonder if accountants had as much input as doctors did when those guidelines were developed.
That does not mean that all the doctors working for health systems are idiots. Most of them are probably genuinely well-meaning and actually want to help their patients to the best of their ability. They have been educated, or perhaps more accurately, indoctrinated, by their medical training. Medical training that has been developed and continues to be controlled by — you guessed it — Big Pharma. As far as most of them believe, they are doing the right thing for their patients.
I have sympathy for doctors like that because I was once a true believer in the medical-industrial complex as well. I would dutifully follow the instructions doctors gave me without thinking much about whether it made sense to me. I allowed them to inject me with whatever they said I needed without hesitation. Was I an idiot? Maybe so.
I consider myself fortunate to have not needed all that much medical attention in my life and as a result, have not been subjected to as much “treatment” as so many other people have been. I have had relatively few vaccines in my life but I don’t think I ever refused when they told me I needed a tetanus “booster.”
I have not been aware of just how utterly corrupt the medical-industrial complex is for all that long. In fact, while visiting the doctor during 2016, I was told I was “due” for a TDAP vaccine and I allowed them to inject me with it. I am thankful that I did not have any obvious negative reaction but I also wonder if the intermittent tinnitus I experience in my left ear that started bothering me in 2017 had anything to do with it. The tinnitus continues to this day and I was since told it was due to hearing loss, so it is very possible that it is not at all associated with that vaccine.
I still see a conventional allopathic physician today but I have a very good relationship with him and he understands that I have a philosophy that differs from his own. He has been willing to work with me and has been very accommodating with regard to my preferences. Although he is a conventional allopathic doctor, I do not think of him as an idiot. His willingness to listen to and respect my wishes demonstrates to me that he is open to ideas that many other mainstream doctors would immediately reject.
As much as I would love to find a functional physician or naturopathic doctor to serve as my primary care provider, my insurance would not cover that (of course!) and it would be quite expensive for me to pay for that out-of-pocket. I pretty much see my current doctor once a year for a check-up or “wellness visit” and that is about it so far. For that I am grateful.
Fortunately for people like me, there are other doctors who are not only non-idiots, and are actually what I would called enlightened. They have broken free from the programming of the medical-industrial complex and have dared to go their own way. They thought critically and that led them to realize how corrupt and harmful the mainstream medical system has become. They embraced more effective (and less harmful) treatments and had the courage to do so in a very public way. These are the doctors that are the true heroes of medicine today.
Who are these doctors? Well, I’m sorry to say that I do not know any of them personally but thanks to their online presence, in a way I feel like I do know them a little. I admire them enormously and would happily follow any medical advice they gave me as opposed to what I would get from some random doctor that is beholden to the industrial medical machine.
Let’s begin with a physician that I consider to be one of the originals when it comes to rejecting mainstream medical orthodoxy and establishing an online presence in order to reach as many people as possible with a message that everyone could benefit from. Dr. Joseph Mercola. I am aware that Dr. Mercola is currently at the center of a controversy that some attribute to mental health problems but what he may be dealing with today does not erase decades of service to a dedicated community that has greatly benefited from the astounding volume of advice he has provided for free during that time. I have been reading his free articles for years and was first introduced to him by my late father, who was a very devoted follower of Dr. Mercola.
And then there’s the famously anonymous physician known only as “A Midwestern Doctor” who has his own regular publication here on Substack. Although he is anonymous and has not revealed whether he is male or female (that I know of), Dr. Mercola referred to “him” at least once, and since some of AMD’s articles have been featured on Dr. Mercola’s website, I presume he knows. I do not feel like that poses any real threat to his anonymity since it really does not narrow down the potential field of candidates all that much. AMD is another doctor I feel like I somewhat “know” since I almost always read the entirety of his often (very) lengthy posts. He definitely “gets it” and is all too aware of the corruption of the medical-industrial complex and the great harm they cause. Frankly, I cannot imagine how in the world AMD manages to produce very lengthy articles on a regular basis and still practice medicine. It’s challenging enough for me to come up with my (clearly inferior) content here on a regular basis and I’m retired!
Dr. Robert Yoho (retired) is another physician here on Substack who woke up to the reality of the medical-industrial complex although as far as I know, that happened after he retired. I am sure he regrets not waking up years earlier when he was still practicing. One of the things I admire most about Dr. Yoho is his self-deprecating style. He does not appear to have any ego problems at all and is always willing to admit his mistakes and inadequacies. That’s not to say that Dr. Yoho is a dummy. Far from it. He was both a plastic surgeon and an emergency room doctor so he is obviously a pretty sharp guy. However, I suspect he would be one that would be quick to call himself an “idiot” for not waking up sooner. That is just the kind of guy he seems to be and I genuinely do admire that.
Dr. Paul Marik is a very prominent physician who I was actually aware of prior to the Covid-19 “pandemic,” which brought him more fame than he might have wished for. I learned about him some years before that and probably from one of Dr. Mercola’s articles, although I am not certain of that. Dr. Marik developed a new treatment protocol that was remarkably effective in treating (and saving the lives of) sepsis patients. He dared to use treatments like intravenous vitamins C and B1 as part of his protocol and that was something that would not be looked upon favorably by the Pharma-controlled medical-industrial complex. Dr. Marik continued to think critically and reject the mainstream narrative over the past 4 years or so while the dangerous and ineffective Covid “vaccines” were promoted as the ultimate answer to all our problems. He is not as active online as the other doctors but he does occasionally post on X (Twitter). It was sepsis that killed my father in 2011 and I always wonder if he could have been saved if Dr. Marik’s protocol had been used to treat him.
I sometimes think of Dr. Pierre Kory as Dr. Marik’s partner in crime, so to speak, because I saw them appear together a number of times during the Covid-19 “pandemic.” They also established the the “Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance” together to develop actual safe and effective treatments for Covid-19. The FLCCC is laughably referred to by Wikipedia as “a group of physicians and former journalists formed in April 2020 that has advocated for various unapproved, dubious, and ineffective treatments (e.g. hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, and other miscellaneous combinations of drugs and vitamins) for COVID-19.” When Wikipedia is putting you down you are likely doing something right. Dr. Kory, like his partner Dr. Marik, also thinks outside the medical-industrial complex box and writes pretty regularly here on Substack.
Dr. Roger McFillin is a clinical psychologist who has awakened to the sad truth regarding the state of modern psychiatry and their endless promotion of Big Pharma’s products as the be-all, end-all remedy for all things mental health. He’s not shy about calling out the medical-industrial complex and posts quite frequently on X.
These are just a few of the doctors who I see as the future of medicine. I have to believe that the rampant and obvious corruption of the profit-driven medical establishment is something that could eventually lead to its downfall. How many people will have to see their loved ones suffer and die after mainstream medicine fails them? Effective and far safer treatments exist for countless illnesses that mainstream medicine “treats” with dangerous pharmaceuticals that sometimes actually kill those that they are supposedly intending to cure.
I cannot finish this without mentioning another publication here on Substack that I have been fascinated by since I discovered it. It features a veterinary medication called Fenbendazole. It’s an anti-parasitic that has shown remarkable efficacy when used to treat many different cancers. I have been aware of it for a while now since I somehow stumbled onto information regarding the Tippens Protocol but I find this Substack so interesting because the person who created it publishes case studies for people who have cured their cancer with Fenbendazole. I admit that it sounds too good to be true, but does it seem likely that all those case studies are fictional? I really don’t think so.
It saddens me to consider how many people could be saved every year if more people were open to alternative treatments that in many cases produce far better outcomes than conventional western medicine. Sometimes truth is very slow to emerge, but I feel more people are waking up to the corruption of the medical-industrial complex and will ultimately reject them in favor of safer treatments that actually work. I just hope I live long enough to see that happen.
