How can there be unbiased information from our medical industry when money exchanges hands between provider and drug company.
You scratch my back….. I’ll scratch yours.
Even if you do not read the attached article(in the black box below), I’d like to point one name out…. Dr. Sanjay Gupta…… a well known medical correspondent for CNN and social media medical advisor…. if you follow CNN or know someone who does, it’s likely his advice would have been heeded at some point. (He’s made over 1.6 million $$ from back scratching with Big Pharma ).
Lesser known, Dr. Stephen Stahl’s pockets are at the top of the heap…. at 8.6 million $$. He’s considered a foremost expert on psychopharmacology, and has written over 500 papers, 35 text books, and edited 12 more. You can imagine how much influence he has in academic circles. He talks…. people listen.
There’s been some serious back scratching going on there.
Y’all…. there will always be a time and place for Western Medicine pharmacology, but not like this. Vested or veiled interests usually ends in tweaking information leaning towards the hand that feeds. It’s illegal in the government (supposedly ) , it’s illegal in the stocks and bonds industry, it’s prohibited in jury selections….. the list goes on.
Psych drugs are enormously profitable.
It’s a rare day when someone who starts down the path of being on a psych med is able to get off of them. Most of them are not classified as being addictive, yet try getting off of even one (much less a handful of them, as is usually the end case), and the body very much responds negatively. It can certainly be done, with medical supervision and a great deal of time…..each one of the medications so severely alters neurotransmitter production in the body.
We humans are not “medication deficient”. It’s far more complicated than that. The number of psych drugs prescribed (1 in 6 people are on one or more in the USA) is a pure reflection of two things….. the brokenness of our world, and the lack of delving adequately into the root of the problem. How many people who embarked on their medication journey had extensive (and I mean EXTENSIVE) lab work to rule out hormone or nutrient imbalances and committed to God centered compassionate counseling? Only when these fail to bring results should medication be brought in to the picture.
I leave you with this sobering stat: According to the American Addiction Centers website, more people die from psychiatric medication overdose than those who die from heroin overdose in our country. (The biggest killers are the most common ones…. Xanax , Ambien, anti-depressants, psycho-stimulants (ex Ritalin), and anti-psychotics…. in order of prevalence). I can’t imagine what the mayhem of 2020-2021 has done to those numbers in the last two years. (article below in gray box)
Please. Watch whom you get your health information from….. whether it’s on a topic like this, or another. If money is exchanging hands, you can be assured that the information has been tweaked to benefit the financial benefactor. This is only one aspect of the industry. You may be shocked about who else’s backs are being scratched. Well known names. 2020-2021 names that everyone now knows.

Health Policy & Medical Ethics
Republic or Democracy?
The health and wellness of “us” also depends on the health and wellness of the country we live in (Interestingly, also “US”). Because of this, I began taking classes on the Constitution and then teaching them. History truth is as important as health truth if we are to be whole body healthy. I Corinthians 12 speaks about the roles we all have in life so that the “whole body” can be healthy. We can look at this on a microscopic level (gut health) or a macroscropic level (country or world health). Either way, it requires unity to be healthy.
Mahatma Gandhi said, “An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.”
Let’s keep history accurate so we can be healthy both individually and as a country and world! 🙏🇺🇸♥️😊
*******************************************
I’ve had 2 discussions with people in the last few weeks regarding the Constitution. These are people who also say they love the Constitution but believe it is written for a country based on democracy. The word “democracy” is not mentioned in the Constitution. (Check out Article 4, section 4 within in the Constitution ) To love, respect, believe, and honor Constitution (that which protects every single one of us here in the USA), first requires understanding what it does and does not include.
The author of the article below sums his article up nicely here …..
“A major difference between a republic and a democracy is immediacy. The Founders wanted laws made by representatives in order to put a buffer between popular passions and legislation. In a democracy, decisions are made in the heat of the moment, while periodic elections in a republic provide a cooling off period. To a great extent, democracies are ruled by feelings, while in a republic, the rule of law governs. In a republic, politicians can take principled actions that go against the will of many of their constituents with the knowledge that they will be judged by all the actions they take during their entire term in office.”

A Victory Over Opioid
The USA consumes 95% of the world’s opioid products. 😔
Is it because we have more pain?…. or is it because there has been wolves in sheep’s clothing in Big Pharma in our country? I’m not a huge fan of CNN, but I was happy to see their article (below) today.
There are many “alternative” ways to manage pain that are underutilized. Frankly, I blame the insurance companies too….. for, more often than not, refusing to pay for many of the “alternative” modalities. It is my belief that pain relief should fall under the “Right to Try Act” that was passed a few years ago. I’ve watched and heard of way too many people dying of accidental overdoses from legal drug use. It happens. Don’t kid yourself into thinking it couldn’t happen to you or someone you love.
According to a legal eagle I know, this particular settlement is rather open ended (meaning families can still be compensated for bodily harm and wrongful death), although no amount of money could be compensation for someone’s life.
It’s been good to see this particular division of Big Pharma tighten up prescribing. Long term opioid use is an interesting creature. The more you use it to block pain, the more sensitive to pain you become…. so it’s really not a great answer for chronic pain (not to mention the dangers of it all).

Everyone Matters
Whose Life Matters More? How’s that for a politically incorrect intro? Dang it if this hasn’t been on my mind for weeks on end.
I think we can say with near 100% certainty that the numbers regarding CV19 are suspect. Even Dr. Deborah Birx ( the White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator) has said that the numbers are inflated by perhaps as much as 25% AND she herself doesn’t even trust the information the CDC is handing out these days. (according to a recent Washington Post article)
To date (and according to the worldmeter.com website), there have been 99,927 deaths due to CV19 in the United States (a .03% death rate in the USA and .07% worldwide if you do the math).
The virus is clearly real, and like all viruses, it is apt to pray on those in the poorest health…. Including those who are laden with organ compromising toxins. No wonder many of the elderly are at risk, considering the average 65-84 year old takes between 15-18 prescription medications each year (in addition to elder vaccinations).
The “Powers that Be” made the decision to lock down the world (except for Sweden who did its own socio-bio-virology experiment and seems to be doing fine) and continue to encourage a no touch 6 foot distancing protocol, tho we know that the virus doesn’t obey the pseudo-science edict that the CDC has ordained.
We also know that a mask of any shape form or fashion is paltry protection unless you are:
1. In a sterile environment.
2. Putting it on properly and then NOT touching the mask the entire time it’s on your face + #1
3. Boiling or sterilizing or using a new mask each and every time + #1 and #2.
4. Your mask is an N95 or greater + #1 & #2 & #3…. And NOT made of cloth.
5. Has been fitted properly for your individual face + #1 & #2 & #3 & #4.
Otherwise you are #attemptingtocatchmosquitoeswithafishingnet
Yes, I know you know all of this, but it is important to recount the facts. 😉
People with high risk comorbidities have cause for concern and therefore it would be prudent to be cautious and careful if they fall within that category.
In addition to limiting social contact and perhaps wearing a mask properly, we can hope they are also attempting to correct the course of their ship by eating organic foods and foregoing the junk,fast, and processed foods, exercising as much as is appropriate and under supervision, exercising their brain thru stimulus outside of television, drinking clean filtered water, getting plenty of sunshine, and removing toxins from their lives as much as possible.
And if they are not, who are we to tell them how to live their lives? #itsaConstitutionalright
Then there are the roughly 18 million Americans who lived with depression and anxiety before CV19 came into the picture.
Who knows how many have since joined them. 😢
Many people rely on daily routines, their jobs, time at the gym, time outdoors, interaction with friends, coworkers, and family members…. The hugs, love, and comaraderie …. Balm for the soul that keeps them afloat instead of drifting. #weareherdanimals
But the stark reality is this: not everyone has a job (unemployment continues to rise quickly) AND…. not everyone is getting (or has gotten) a stimulus check. I personally know quite a few people who are really starting to struggle under the weight of the financial burdens they have. 😢
Alcohol and drug addiction is also on the rise, as people sit at home and look for ways to numb themselves. 😢
I spoke to a friend who is a police officer 👨✈️in Dallas and he remarked that suicide is easily more of an epidemic right now than the virus in Dallas. The numbers he gave me indicated a 400% increase in the incidence of successful suicides these last few months. He cited depression and financial burdens based on evidence at the scenes in most cases. According to the Public Health group, Well Being Trust, we can expect these numbers to exceed death due to CV19.
Isolation, extreme mental distress and economic burdens typically don’t mix well. But since the mainstream media isn’t reporting on this, it leads me to believe that perhaps these lives matter less?
I personally don’t believe it, but if we are to believe the mainstream media in all things, then it must be true.
Dr Caroline Leaf is one of our nation’s foremost authorities on psychology and brain science. #sheisbrilliantandworthfollowing
In her book, Who Switched Off My Brain, she discusses dangers of prolonged lack of touch, also called “cutaneous deprivation”.
Over time, “cutaneous deprivation causes emotional disorders, affects our intellect, and physical growth, and weakens the immune system. Research also shows touch deprivation causes negative change in the brain laying patterns for aggression and violence”.Touch is also considered a powerful healing force that alleviates the symptoms of stress, trauma, and depression. In short, we are wired for loving touch by God. #wiredforloveandtouch
Geez… considering 28% of Americans live alone, and 5% of the elderly live nearly “touchless” in some form of assisted living…. I can only imagine the damage being done.
And yet…. The mainstream media is silent on this topic too, and we are encouraged to continue to exacerbate the problem by social distancing, and the elderly in assisted living continue to go without advocacy and visits from their loved ones.
……. But I suppose the health and wellbeing of the combined 32% of our country’s community who live in relative isolation (roughly 100 million people) is less important than the .03% who may yet still lose their lives to the virus.
Media?…….
I would be remiss if I also didn’t speak for the kids whose lives are traumatized by the very ones they live with. Before the ‘rona shutdown, 4 children die daily in the USA from child abuse and neglect. An estimated 3 million children are living victims of child abuse, and they’ve been locked inside with their abuser for the last many weeks. Who knows what kind of permanent physical and mental damage this has done to these babies during this time? Is that damage fixable? Only God and time will tell.
Media?…. Where are you?Are the lives of these 3 million babies not important too?
Spousal abuse is going on as well… make no mistake about that. An estimated 4.8 million women and 2.9 million men live in an abusive relationship with many having no place to retreat these last many weeks.
I suppose their lives are not quite as important as those who might get a virus that has a .03% mortality rate. I keep expecting to hear media outrage about child and spousal abuse….. But again…. Crickets.
We’ve misplaced our faith in this country and put it on statistics and the advice of man instead of God. #areallybadidea
💗 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2 Tim 1:7)
💗 “Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.” (1 Cor 10:24)
💗 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” (John 15:12)
💗 “… love your neighbor as yourself.” (Mark 12:31)
💗 “Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him…” (Mark 1:41)
There is no room for fear in a time such as this. It’s a foothold for the devil and that’s all he needs to turn focus inward instead of outward.
EVERYONE’S life matters and we need to stop thinking of only the 0.03%, and care for and cherish the other 99.97% too.

Fight the Good Fight
There was a time when doctors promoted smoking and opium derived products for nerves, and in the 60’s, housewives were prescribed “a little something” for energy.
DDT was “so safe” they sprayed it directly on kids without worry.
Asbestos was used as an insulator for homes and military ships and buildings.
All these things☝️☝️☝️ were accepted without question as being safe. ?
When a watchdog group of authority raises an alarm, I listen. I’ve been sharing my concerns about 5G for several months now and the warning bells just keep getting louder.
Friends, my husband and I don’t have children, but I spend much of my time fighting for the health of future generations because I care about your kids and I care about the world. I have no genetic skin in this game…..come fight this battle with me. Your kids and your grandkids matter. Promote awareness, protect yourself with knowledge. Ask your community leaders some very specific questions about the installation of 5G in your towns. Easton Connecticut just banned it ….. because some brave people spoke up and fought to bring truth to their town leaders.
Do your research. Learn. Dig. Do not take the telecom and tech industry’s responses as gospel. Follow the money.
