I asked one of the most esteemed neuropathologists at an Ivy academic medical center: "What if we have glioblastoma (brain cancer) all wrong? We believe that tumors start small and grow outward. What if the diseased state of the nervous system is converging on a point that we then see as 'tumor' at a particular location in the brain?" His answer shocked all of his colleagues and trainees: "I've never been asked that question before, and now that I think of it...I don't know how we can claim it is one or the other." Centralized medicine is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on brain cancer treatment and research...cutting out large chunks of peoples' brains... and we haven't even answered this most basic question.

In my opinion, the whole of society has been oversold and under-delivered on the utility and value of vaccines. Including: The public who pay (thru tax) for the research, development, and administration of vaccines. The doctors who are indoctrinated to administer them. And, the people who are expected to take them at increasing frequency. All of this seems plausible when you consider the types of entities that stand to profit from their mandated and widespread adoption. A criminal history to rival any. With immunity from legal persecution. You are completely within sound mind to question this blatant invasion into our lives. You'd be crazy not to.

If you improve your health by making changes to your lifestyle, you will no longer be heavily dependent on your health insurance policy. Very likely through your employer. Which means you remove an element of power your employer may have over the decisions you make for yourself.

What if you could implement a couple of changes to your routine, hit them consistently, and improve your health at least as much as any prescription drug is doing. The best part? You save money on the drug. And, no side effects. This is what I'm interested in. This is decentralized health. Recognize you are an entire body, surrounded by an entire environment which exists on many more dimensions than you can see, or hear, or smell, or touch. And by hitting all of them, with small improvements here and there, you get the same benefit across your entire body. Because some of the most common and worst illnesses and costs to life and society are heavily modulated by improvements in all sorts of modalities. Including heart disease, strokes, diabetes, obesity, cancer...even osteoporosis. You want to tell me one prescription drug is going to hit all of these things simultaneously? Without proportionate increase in side effects and cost? These days prescriptions drugs are designed to target one metric or abstraction. Which means you gotta take many of them. This is one of the lowest yield approaches to improving most people's health. Chronic disease is the manifestation of consistently poor decision making. And people are offended by that, because it is a judgment on their daily routine, and fundamentally their character or disposition. You don't make 1 decision to get chronic disease. You are constantly repeating at least one mistake. Others are constantly repeating many mistakes.

Let's assume for a second that mainstream medicine is correct: that there are diseases in which the body does something that harms itself. You think you are going go to war against your body? You think you are going to win? You think there will be no collateral damage? Fools.

At this point in fatherhood, I've realized that the rate at which my child learns is limited by how much I expect them to understand. The more I believe in him, the faster he learns.

The Root Cause of Disease. I finally recorded an exploration of the hypothesis I put forth a year ago. Very much looking for feedback to develop this idea further.

Monologues | 3. The Root Cause of Disease

This episode is a follow-up on an article I wrote about a year ago, in which I try to get to the bottom of disease - both chronic and acute.

If I had to articulate a moral principle to underlie an ethical framework for doctors (and indeed any other humans), it would be this: Strive to walk the path of the Holy, rather than play god.

The circulatory system is a hyper-dynamic and infinitely complex interplay of Newtonian biomechanical factors, organ function, electrophysiology, and light signaling. It's time to re-build our understanding of blood flow, blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease.

Understanding Blood Flow & Pressure | Part 1

To get a grasp on hypertension, why it happens, and how to treat it...we need to completely reframe our understanding of the circulatory system.

The more we try to insulate ourselves from nature, the sicker we get. Everything from the clothes and skin-products we wear, to the houses we live in, to the urban atmosphere we create...insulates us from nature. The food we eat. The water we drink. The air we breathe. The electromagnetism we bathe in. All synthetic. All detach us from nature. With chronic disease at all time highs.
