you believe that the PCR and rapid tests are real tests with trustworthy ‘results’ ???

Hi Emily,
Wonderful to hear another DO who has gone an alternative route with their medical thinking, and with you, your actual career practice.
The problem I experience with alternative approaches is that most medical care is provided by a team. Think like a football team where everyone needs to be running the same play.
For example, when I have a sick child, I need to admit them to the children’s hospital to the pediatrician on call and the pediatric infectious disease doc.
Another example: I see an elderly weak and dizzy patient and check the blood sodium level as part of the normal labs. This is paid for by Medicare who must agree that measuring sodium is a covered benefit and is “indicated” as part of the work-up for weakness.
This team aspect has greatly limited my ability to be nonconventional.

Drugs, Twitter And Education
I know we discussed mass shootings a lot in another video, but Ben Swann recently re-shared a 2018 video where he mentions all of the shooters were on pyschiatric meds known to have significant side effects: https://sovren.media/video/are-psychiatric-drugs-really-the-leading-cause-of-mass-shootings-1437.html.
Regarding Twitter, what will Elon’s backing out mean for online censorship which is already bad and was hopefully going to get slightly better?
And finally, while I initially was unsure about Evie’s role in these new-style videos (chalk it up to someone who doesn’t usually like change, nothing personal!), I wanted to commend her on these past 2 where she seems to be feeling more comfortable in the exchange. Her excerpt from Thomas Merton reminded me of a recent read, “Weapons of Mass Instruction” (John Taylor Gatto), on the difference between education and schooling. The American school system was designed after its Prussian ancestor basically to train minions (my words) for those with the ‘great ideas’, and that those students who take pleasure in getting good grades are in for a shock when their school career is over and they’re out in the real world. The book in gave me such pause for thought about what experience I want my children to have and what is important for my their education especially in this new world we’re being thrust into.
Thanks to you both for keeping it real! I’ve learned so much from you these past couple years.

Galileo
“What would you say of the learned here, who, replete with the pertinacity of the asp, have steadfastly refused to cast a glance through the telescope? What shall we make of all this? Shall we laugh or shall we cry?” For how many millions of years has this cry by Galileo has rung out in different ways?
It’s so depressing… I agree that the reality will at some point become clear… but history shows that it can take a long time. It’s funny that scurvy is mentioned in this discussion because that is a condition that was allowed to continue solely because of a mutually- beneficial relationship between someone who passed as a pharmacist and the King of England. When the first blind test was made of possible cures, lemon juice clearly worked while nothing (including the government-mandated ‘wort’ made by the King’s crony) else did. But the study was covered up for years before lemon juice finally became the standard on ships.
Then, a hundred years later, an audit of the ships revealed the expense of carrying lemon juice. When asked why they were carrying it, the captains said they didn’t really know, but it was because of some old disease many generations before. So the government stopped with the lemon juice and scurvy returned. ANOTHER hundred years passed before the connection was made again and Vitamin C became essential for seagoers.
Hearing this conversation reminds me that actual scientific heroes still exist. Bravo, truly.
If only a tipping point can be reached here where more and more people become brave and willing to look in this particular telescope.

Thank you @Gregory for the mention of the Norwalk Juicer. I have a Champion Juicer, but have not used in a long time. I have heard other very informed people talk about the Norwalk. Just wondering what is the main difference between the two.

Private Practice Doctors
I private pay a doctor practice in another state than mine. I refuse to go to a doctor who is participating in this charade.

Yeah it’s complicated - and sounds like we are working with different demographics - I’m all outpatient mostly Medicare. Of course I send people to other specialists when they need them, and depending on the patients choice varied amounts of alternative treatments get added or substitute what conventional medicine offers. Also involves different patients ability or not to spend money on therapies Medicare doesn’t cover.
You’re in NY? I want to NYCOM. What’s your specialty? PM me if you’d like to connect.

I’m Puzzled Why Pp Is Still On Yt
Why has PP stayed with YouTube? YT has gotten to the point that you can’t even call them out for fear of reprisals. It’s pretty bad when you get censored for speaking the truth and interview a world renowned Doctor in his field and they give you a strike.
James Corbett backed up all of his videos from YouTube and moved to Odysee. Greg Hunter was banned and went to Rumble.
The PP Team really needs to have a pow wow because one day it will be 3 strikes and all those videos might be gone.

I say they should just do tamer videos on YT. They could even put up shorter videos telling people to go to link of the more hard hitting companion video on another site. That way they make the most use of all platforms. The goal is to reach as many people as possible.

Looks Like The Video Was Restored To Youtube
Looks like the video was restored to YouTube. I can see it and watch it. Did you lodge an appeal? I guess it worked.
He stays on You Tube because that is where the viewers are located. You Tube’s censorship sucks, but if you want to reach the most people it is hard to avoid the platform. I see more creators basically giving people a watered down taste of a topic on You Tube and then link to the other platforms to get the full story. Allison Morrow does this regularly and I think it is the way to go. Chris has been doing this as well for the most part.

COVID 19 infection is not linked to myocarditis or pericarditis. Spike protein-based vaccines are. The mRNA vaccines produce much more spike protein in the blood than the infection does. Spike is a toxin
I wish that were true for everyone, glad it’s true for most. Anecdotal, but a family member got myocarditis/pericarditis with Wuhan strain, exacerbated by the you know what. Perhaps it is related to strain of virus. The study you present has a big N and control group and merits attention.
That is a very interesting hypothesis. If we overlay that with your theory about “belief systems” causing so much conflict between people (and upset in individuals) I think we have a good explanation. What other species has rigid beliefs about esoteric things like religion and politics (the two biggest hot button issues out there). We as a species routinely kill to protect our sacred belief systems. Add in a propensity for sadism and violence and the need for group cohesiveness and we get wars over ideology. Our unique intelligence and ability to reason things out has a downside, it keeps us in our heads and distorts our view of what we are doing and what is really in front of us. If we believe we have the absolute truth and knowledge, man is very dangerous indeed.

If you answered “violent sociopaths!” then maybe we have an answer of sorts.Well, but on the other hand we have the German people - and the Europeans in general - behaving in what to me is a surprisingly docile way to their sociopathic leaders. "Violent sociopaths" helps explain those who rise to predator positions, but not those who tolerate being the prey - who are the majority, it appears. So I'm not convinced it's an explanatory hypothesis. Besides which, an alternative explanation of who is most likely to survive periods of severe external trauma is "those who can cooperate for shared, mutual goals." After all, we keep advising one another on this site that the lone rangers and oppositional personalities don't tend to fare well for long in a Mad Max world. Rather, we need community, not only for protection (which is not nothing) but also for long term resiliency. Diversity of skill sets, many sets of hands, mutual regard, and even fraternal love, as well and kinship bonds, are the things that have allowed humans to master the elements, dominate the fierce animal kingdom, bring home the mastodon bacon, and keep the home fires burning as we nurtured the next generation. I suspect we're a rather heady mixture of the full gamut, and that a full gamut of human types survived, by various strategies and combined strategies, the several potentially killer crises our ancestors endured. I'm more inclined to say that what's missing in particularly violent or psychopathic times is external boundary setting norms - that is, ethical, moral, or religious expectations that are meant to corral the extremes to which we are all subject. Our minds don't appear all that stable, left to our own internal standards and imaginings. Some recognized, external authority (author) helps us stay sane. To the extent we lose that, we lose our minds. These days, we don't only lack a coherent, cohesive external authorial standard (we don't even recognize the boundaries of nature and natural cycles), but we actively encourage one another in subjectively determining the rules by which we shall live. That's a convenient opportunity for any borderline personality, and is sure to generate social incohesion and self-referential and self-justified violence. That is, we become petty tyrants, increasingly determined to make the world we inhabit dance to our tune for our mercurial pleasure. Some of us become grand tyrants through chance and seized opportunities.

“…to generate social incohesion…”
Please see Genesis 11:1–9. How long must we suffer the lack of co-operation to atone for our innate curiosity and initiative. Qualities imbued by our creator. Were the consequences of including those elements unforeseen?
They put it back up themselves without an appeal…so I am confused. Not sure what to make of that. Maybe they put it back up and then use that as the rationale to take the channel down?
The medical profession has a great deal of atoning to do. The public has good reason for loss of trust. Can this ever be regained?Highly, highly unlikely - a least for those of us who are awake and aware.

Is It About Accountability Or Compliance?
The more I hear this, “I’m a doctor, a medical expert and you’re not, so your argument and evidence regarding Covid isn’t valid, nyah nyah”… well, this is the height of not only arrogance, but also un-professionalism. I’m an engineer and one of the highest codes of conduct is to restrict your work to within your area of expertise. I’m a mechanical engineer and specialize in a certain part of mining engineering. I would be violating my code of ethics to have anything to do with building rockets, except in an introductory role. I do not have the experience or expertise to design rockets. The average layperson might know more about designing rockets than I do. In fact, a non-engineer may know more about mining engineering than I do. There’s no reason they couldn’t, just because they don’t have P. Eng. behind their name.
Engineering knowledge is not some secret club where only those with P. Eng. behind their name can understand it. If anyone puts in the effort, they can understand it. Similarly, medical knowledge is not a secret club, even though the professional associations would like it to be. The engineering associations make it an exclusive “club” to have P. Eng. behind your name simply for liability purposes, and because the government forced them to strictly enforce this after the Mount Polley mine disaster. I would actually rather not have P. Eng. behind my name because it means I can be more easily sued. I have no pride or arrogance from having P. Eng. attached to my name; it’s simply a necessary part of doing this kind of work. But since doctors are essentially immune from wrongdoing leading to death when it comes to Covid, there really isn’t any professional accountability and the secret club of the medical profession is now actually serving the opposite of what engineering professional associations should aim to achieve – the medical boards are not about ensuring the best in medical practice, but ensuring that only bad medical practice occurs, and squeezing out the good doctors; and shutting down dissent. The professional boards for engineering require letters behind your name to ensure accountability. The professional boards for medicine require letters behind your name to ensure compliance.
The problem is, there is so much medical knowledge out there now as a result of a few centuries of modern science that no doctor could come close to being an expert in all fields of medicine; there is simply too much out there for a single mind to handle. That’s why people specialize within their professions. So… if any medical person tries to convince you that your objections to Covid policy are not valid and you should by default trust them on any medical topic simply because they are a doctor, there is one of three things happening:
- They are a specialist in a field not really related to Covid and violating good professional behaviour by extending their practice to beyond their capabilities; and therefore you, by virtue of thoroughly investigating the specific issues on your own with an open mind, have better knowledge of the topic than the doctor in question does.
- They are a jack of all trades but master of none (a GP), and therefore you, by virtue of thoroughly investigating the specific issues on your own with an open mind, have better knowledge of the topic than the doctor in question does.
- They are a specialist in a field related to Covid and they just might have a trustworthy opinion, if it can be determined that they have not succumbed to mass formation psychosis and are not being threatened or bribed to censor themselves, and are not callously arrogant. I suggest that the doctors in this category are in the great minority.
