Officially started publishing as I learn from my deep dive into Avicenna's 5-volume compendium:
The Canon of Medicine - The Law of Natural Healing
As someone who's been in the modern medical paradigm for a decade, this has been for more informative than I ever imagined.
The Law of Natural Healing | Part 2
Avicenna's Canon of Medicine, Volume 1 - General Medicine, Lectures 1-3.
Real science is seeing the fire directly.
Not mere talk, inferring the fire from the smoke.
What if cancer is the few remaining fully competent cells remaining in a truly diseased organ, that are trying to escape the mothership?
These cells are growing irrespective of the rest of the organ, eventually escaping (metastasis), and de-differentiating to the point that they don't have just 2 copies of our DNA.
They have way more.
Cancer is cells escaping from a truly diseased environment.
The final frontier of organ disease.
Maybe this is related to the desire to escape earth and start something new?
Traditional medicine was the original decentralized medicine. Allopathic medicine (MDs) is centralized. @DrJackKruse
One of the general differences can be seen in its trust and humility.
Traditional medicine has humility, and knows that life is far more sophisticated and omniscient than we give it credit it for.
So, its practice defers to the wisdom of the body and merely supports the body's needs.
You can call it a trust in the emergent wisdom of the body by interplay of many complex factors.
This is fundamentally a trust in a decentralized framework.
Whereas, allopathic medicine tends to mistrust the body and overestimates its power.
This leads to a tendency to interfere with what the body is trying to accomplish. It knows better.
So it cuts out body parts, irradiates and poisons, interfere with protein function, or disrupts the microbiome.
This is arrogance.
And it is no wonder it exists in a centralized paradigm.
The centralization happens at many scales.
Infectious disease is at the level of the organism.
General medicine broadly focuses at organs.
Endocrinologists, for example, focus on cellular communication.
Geneticists on nucleic acids.
Each silo'd and centralized itself.
This centralization gives rise to an attack vector on the practice.
For example, a charlatan may learn a few things, pretending to be a doctor.
But does the same thing for every patient - e.g. bloodletting done wrong.
Whereas the decentralized traditionalist knows that every technique has its place, and so uses bloodletting sparingly and selectively.
One's making money.
The other is practicing medicine.
Traditional medicine was the original decentralized medicine.
When I was young, the goal was to become a doctor - not an MD.
Now, after many years in this field and a lifetime of continued learning.
Still, the goal is to be a doctor.
Not an MD.
Time has revealed who was a reliable source of information re:covid and who wasn't.
There are many people whom I respect that were wrong about almost all of it.
I do not begrudge those who had no experience in the related fields to tell right from wrong.
My gripe is not with you.
But, those of you who should've known better...
...such as doctors, clinical researchers, academics, libertarians, constitutional lawyers.
You have proven worthless when shit hits the fan.
And many of you are smart enough to know better.
For you, it's even worse.
You were either paid off or scared.
Prostitutes or cowards.
It's easy to blame "lifestyle" and "environment" as the cause of people's illnesses.
Don't get me wrong, it is true.
Most of our health is downstream to our choices.
But, our choices are downstream to something else.
Something more pernicious, and harder to see.
We have been lied to about what we are, how we work, and what our role in the universe is.
The healthcare revolution cannot be without a spiritual awakening.
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.
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.
It is no surprise that people who live in locations in which the balance of nature is disturbed, are sicker.
"Infection" is, at base, dysbiosis or microbial proliferation.
Either the local environment of the microbe has changed.
Or, it has been introduced into a new environment.
In either case, the microbe's terrain has changed.
Germ Theory is a special case of Terrain Theory.
Germ Theory Is Incomplete | Part 2
After a full year of ruminating on this topic, the time has come for Part 2 of this conversation.
