AMA President Opposes Free Speech

Dr. Jesse M. Ehrenfeld believes vaccine orthodoxy must be preserved at all costs

JOHN LEAKE
MAR 27, 2024

Dr. Jesse Ehrenfeld was inaugurated president of the American Medical Association in 2023. He and his colleague—Dr. Benjamin Hoffman, an Oregon-based pediatrician—just wrote a very foolish editorial in MEDPAGE TODAY titled: Medical Misinfo Runs Rampant Online. The Gov’t Must Retain the Right to Intervene.—Combating vaccine falsehoods and other inaccurate claims protects public health

According to Dr. Ehrenfeld’s bio that is posted on the AMA website, he has a distinguished career in anesthesiology. His bio also states:

Upon his inauguration, Dr. Ehrenfeld made AMA history as the first openly gay president of the organization. For the past two decades, he has been a nationally recognized advocate for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) individuals. In 2018, in recognition of his outstanding research contributions, he received the inaugural Sexual and Gender Minority Research Investigator Award from the director of the NIH.

I’m immediately struck by the combination of anesthesiologist and gay rights activist, as both endeavors have been matters of great controversy since the mid 19th century.

Imagine if—following Friedrich Sertürner’s discovery of morphine in 1805—medical boards in the United States (affiliated with the British East India Company) insisted that ONLY opioid-based analgesics could be used, and that no one could use ether to anesthetize patients. To understand just how much disagreement, discussion, and debate there was around the use of ether, take a look at this history of the Ether Controversy.

Imagine if a medical board in Boston established a censorship apparatus to prevent anyone from challenging the supremacy of morphine as an analgesic, so that William Morton, Crawford Long, and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. couldn’t publish about the value of ether for surgical anesthesiology.

Fast forward to the end of the 20th century. Imagine if no one was allowed to publish any criticism of the promotion and marketing of OxyContin by Purdue Pharma.  (See link for article)

The AMA is entirely corrupt, instructs doctors to deceive, and has caused untold thousands of deaths due to their banning of early treatments for COVID.

Dr. Füllmich Statement From Prison – ‘Their House of Cards is Collapsing’

BY  ON 

Dr. Reiner Füllmich has continued to analyze evidence of the crimes against humanity from prison. that he and the Corona Committee had been working to expose since 2020. The corruption is being increasingly seen worldwide and “Their house of cards is collapsing” according to Reiner, “and we as international attorneys will do our best to speed up that process and make sure that Justice is done.” He adds ‘The windows of truth that are opening worldwide and the light that shines through these windows is in the process of identifying all of those who are responsible, no one will escape Justice.‘

Reiner Füllmich made this statement in a a break from the his trial due to the Easter holidays which has followed eight days in court. He has now been able to summarize the criminal proceedings against him and concludes that Hoffman and Antonia Fischer were only interested in ‘getting their hands on the Corona Committees donation. He claims that ‘through ‘fraud and extortion’, they had gotten their hands on roughly 1.5 million euros of his and his client’s money.’

Viviane Fischer, however, has confirmed in court that they both took loans in order to secure the Corona Committee’s donations which were at risk from “government attack, but they were both able to pay the monies back.

What this means is accusations that Reiner had embezzled committee funds are unfounded. In fact, there seems to be no reason for the man to have been kept in jail at all, and he believes, as many others do, that the criminal proceedings are an effort to shut him up and put him in jail and can see that the ‘DA’s case, is dead in the water.’

Reiner therefore, seems to be more positive for the future, which can be heard in his statement which you can listen to in full in the video of the audio below. However, I have also transcribed the audio recording verbatim and have added it underneath the video for those unable to play videos. (See link for article and 10 Min video)

Lyme Disease Leads to Muscle Weakness of the Leg & Constipation

https://danielcameronmd.com/lyme-disease-muscle-weakness-of-the-leg-and-constipation/

LYME DISEASE LEADS TO MUSCLE WEAKNESS OF THE LEG AND CONSTIPATION

lyme-disease-muscle-weakness

In their article, “Atypical Acute Neuroborreliosis With Leg Paresis and Constipation,” Ahrend and colleagues describe a case of Lyme disease presenting with neurological and autonomic manifestations in an elderly man. [1]

By 

An 80-year-old man, later diagnosed with Lyme disease, was admitted to the hospital with left leg paresis [muscle weakness], along with pain and sensory disturbances in his left abdomen. He also had a rash on his left lower abdomen, severe abdominal pain and constipation. The symptoms had been ongoing for 4-5 weeks.

The patient had visited three other medical centers for evaluation of his abdominal pain. However, a colonoscopy and CT scan of the abdomen did not explain the severity of the patient’s symptoms.

The rash manifest as a “patchy, pruritic redness with pustules, which was particularly prominent on the left flank and abdomen,” the authors state.

Testing for Lyme disease revealed Borrelia-specific IgM and IgG antibodies, consistent with the symptomatology of neuroborreliosis.

“Finally, a diagnosis of [Lyme disease] was made, which initially manifested itself with autonomic symptoms (constipation) and severe abdominal pain, accompanied by a skin rash” and muscle weakness in his left leg that appeared later on, the authors state.

“The patient’s constipation is likely due to the autonomic involvement of the disease.”

The rash, characterized as a flat, itchy redness with pustules, was atypical for Lyme disease, the authors point out.

“… serological tests were finally conclusive for Lyme borreliosis, so that the abdominal pain and [constipation] were evaluated as autonomic, and the leg paresis as neurological involvement of neuroborreliosis.”

The patient’s symptoms resolved completely following a 21-day course of doxycycline.

After treatment for Lyme disease, the patient’s muscle weakness disappeared, as did his intestinal symptoms. And, he was able to “resume his home exercise program within two months and since then he has been on the same physical level as before,” the authors state.

Climate: The Movie

Climate: The Movie

The Cold Truth

3/22/24

This film exposes the climate alarm as an invented scare without any basis in science. It shows that mainstream studies and official data do not support the claim that we are witnessing an increase in extreme weather events – hurricanes, droughts, heatwaves, wildfires and all the rest. It emphatically counters the claim that current temperatures and levels of atmospheric CO2 are unusually and worryingly high. On the contrary, compared to the last half billion years of earth’s history, both current temperatures and CO2 levels are extremely and unusually low. We are currently in an ice age. It also shows that there is no evidence that changing levels of CO2 (it has changed many times) has ever ‘driven’ climate change in the past.

Why then, are we told, again and again, that ‘catastrophic man-made climate-change’ is an irrefutable fact? Why are we told that there is no evidence that contradicts it? Why are we told that anyone who questions ‘climate chaos’ is a ‘flat-earther’ and a ‘science-denier’?

The film explores the nature of the consensus behind climate change. It describes the origins of the climate funding bandwagon, and the rise of the trillion-dollar climate industry. It describes the hundreds of thousands of jobs that depend on the climate crisis. It explains the enormous pressure on scientists and others not to question the climate alarm: the withdrawal of funds, rejection by science journals, social ostracism.

But the climate alarm is much more than a funding and jobs bandwagon. The film explores the politics of climate. From the beginning, the climate scare was political. The culprit was free-market industrial capitalism. The solution was higher taxes and more regulation. From the start, the climate alarm appealed to, and has been adopted and promoted by, those groups who favor bigger government.

This is the unspoken political divide behind the climate alarm. The climate scare appeals especially to all those in the sprawling publicly-funded establishment. This includes the largely publicly-funded Western intelligentsia, for whom climate has become a moral cause. In these circles, to criticize or question the climate alarm has become is a breach of social etiquette.

The film includes interviews with a number of very prominent scientists, including Professor Steven Koonin (author of ‘Unsettled’, a former provost and vice-president of Caltech), Professor Dick Lindzen (formerly professor of meteorology at Harvard and MIT), Professor Will Happer (professor of physics at Princeton), Dr John Clauser (winner of the Nobel prize in Physics in 2022), Professor Nir Shaviv (Racah Institute of Physics), professor Ross McKitrick (University of Guelph), Willie Soon and several others.

The film was written and directed by the British filmmaker Martin Durkin and is the sequel of his excellent 2007 documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle. Tom Nelson, a podcaster who has been deeply examining climate debate issues for the better part of two decades, was the producer of the film.

#ClimateTheMovie will be available for free at many online locations starting on March 21 2024. Subtitles for numerous languages are currently being created by the Clintel Foundation. Follow @ClimateTheMovie and @ClintelOrg for updates.

**Comment**

The climate is continually being blamed for tick expansion and Lyme disease proliferation despite independent research refuting this. Shoddy, biased research is pushing an accepted narrative, and media is using corrupt data as the next ‘pandemic-like’ story that they will beat to absolute death.

More data is exposing the narrative, and more and more researchers are finally speaking out against this government & globalist agenda which is big, big business.

80% of carbon offset schemes are ‘likely junk or worthless,’ and green energy policies have made the climate worse.  ‘Science tribalism’ is the norm to obtain highly sought after government grants for research, and science has little to do with it.

What is never revealed, discussed, or debated is the toxic geoengineering going on over our heads which includes spraying polymers into the air – including spider silk filaments containing quantum dot structures, as well as aluminum nanoparticles, and 3D graphene oxide nanoparticles – for ‘weather modification’ and ‘solar geoengineering.’

All of which has been linked with chronic disease.

Another topic never openly discussed is the announced UN plan to clear the lands of people and move them into 15 minute ‘Smart’ Cities.  WiFi, 3D, 5G, and AI makes it all possible.  It can also create a real-time living map that can identify, track, move and control people, and be edited for nefarious purposes.

The ‘climate change’ narrative is also required for globalist desired ’15 minute cities’ who want electric cars that can be controlled and shut down by a ‘smart’ geogrid. The government is using all sorts of incentives/bribes and lies (just like with the emergency use, experimental gene therapy COVID shots developed by the U.S. Military) to get people to buy these worthless machines that can only go 82 miles without being charged, which BTW is done via electricity which is powered by fossil fuels to begin with! The California Governor has banned sales of new gas-powered vehicles, but experts admit moving to electric won’t effect carbon emissions or oil use, even if everyone on the planet bought electric.

  • Airplanes, buses, big trucks, and the mining equipment to get the copper which is used to build electric cars – all are oil fired. 
  • The electric vehicle emits 10-20 tons of carbon dioxide before you even drive it, through the initial mining process and shipping alone.
  • EV Car batteries – which leak and don’t hold power well, “are really not designed to be recycled,” and have toxic ingredients including heavy metals. We can’t even recycle trash!
  • It would take 100 trillion dollars and 400 years and to manufacture enough batteries to store enough power for what Europe will need just this winter.
  • The electric grid is already taxed. Having everyone using electric cars on top of this is insanity, which means cities will ration power.
  • Energy systems are now designed by bureaucrats instead of by engineers, just like science and medicine was hijacked by bureaucrats during COVID.
  • An electric car uses 50 times more electricity when it is charging than a refrigerator when its running.
It takes 500,000 pounds of minerals and rock to make ONE battery.

Mining of course is done in other countries due to strict government regulation in the U.S., but it takes an environmental toll on these poor countries that also use forced and child labor nobody talks about.  

Lastly, also under the guise of ‘climate change,’ equity, and sustainability, infrastructure for rural regions is required to destroy and replace standard farming and real food with wireless farming or ‘precision agriculture,’ and genetically modified Frankinfood which critics describe as just one more toxic scam within the egregious global rollout of 5G and to monitor, control, and irradiate all that lives and breathes.  The FDA, already in damage control mode, has relabelled “GMO” to the more palatable term “bioengineered,” but don’t be fooled – CRISPR plants are GMO’s and should be clearly identified to consumers and subjected to rigorous testing standards; however, our regulatory agencies unfortunately are captured.

ACTION ALERT: Anti-Supplement Bill Back From the Dead

https://anh-usa.org/durbin-strikes-back/

Durbin Strikes Back

By ANH-USAOn  
Durbin Strikes Back

After we defeated his anti-supplement bill in 2022, Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) is trying to do the same thing again. Let’s make sure he doesn’t succeed. Action Alert!

THE TOPLINE

  • Sen. Durbin is planning to reintroduce his legislation to require mandatory product listing for dietary supplements.
  • This is an unnecessary regulation that will restrict consumer choices, putting us on a road to high-dose supplement restrictions with no basis in safety or public health.
  • It is another instance in which the FDA shows its loyalty to drug companies by slapping needless red tape on its competitors in the natural product industry.

It’s time, once again, to defend our supplement access in the face of an FDA / Big Pharma / Sen. Durbin onslaught. We’ve done it before, and we can do it again—but not without a powerful grassroots response telling Congress NOT to restrict our supplements.

MPL on the move

Earlier this week, Sen. Durbin, a longtime supplement opponent,  reportedly sent letters to several supplement industry trade groups indicating he would be reintroducing his Dietary Supplement Listing Act requiring mandatory product listing (MPL) for supplements. This comes on the heels of the FDA asking for the authority to require MPL in its list of legislative proposals for Fiscal Year 2025, as it did the previous year. With your help and support, we defeated Sen. Durbin’s legislation in 2022, and we can do so again.  But, like last time, we need your help.

MPL seeks to create a registry of all supplements on the market bringing it ever closer to the Canadian model that our colleagues at the Natural Health Products Protection Association have confirmed are wiping more and more products from Canadian retail shelves. Sen. Durbin and the FDA claim this policy would help regulators “know when new products are introduced and quickly identify dangerous or illegal products on the market.” We believe Sen. Durbin and the FDA are using safety as a smokescreen and that such a registry will be used to target and eliminate products that the agency believes do not comply with its ridiculous regulations. Just like in Canada.

Supplements: a health threat despite ZERO deaths?

For starters, this is a solution in search of a problem. The safety record for supplements is indisputable. Dietary supplements boast a consistent and remarkable safety profile making them many times more safe than conventional foods. Data from the American Association of Poison Control Center’s National Poison Data System (NPDS) typically show, year on year, that zero Americans die from taking dietary supplements.

Oft-cited reports on supplements causing adverse events fail to highlight that many cases are the result of unsupervised children swallowing pills, elderly Americans choking, and heart palpitations from ingesting too many diet pills, sexual enhancement pills, and energy drinks. Compare these numbers to the adverse events caused by pharmaceutical drugs, or even rates of food borne illness, and you’ll find that supplements are, overall, among the safest things you can consume.

The bottom line is that the supplement industry is not sickening and killing alarming rates of Americans to necessitate restrictive policies. So what’s the real motivation?

As we’ve argued through the years, the FDA takes an antagonistic attitude towards natural products because it relies on the drug industry for funding, and natural products compete with drugs. Put simply, the FDA is captured by drug industry interests. We believe this helps explain the motivation behind many anti-supplement policies, including the ridiculous limits the FDA imposes on what can be said about the benefits of supplements.

The case against MPL

The implications of MPL are even more concerning. MPL might be used to create a list of supplements that might lead to “adverse events,” similar to a legislative effort by Sen. Durbin we defeated a number of years ago. In that case, the list would be created by the FDA and the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM)—the same body that once said people up to the age of 70 don’t need more than 600 IU of vitamin D per day, and above 4,000 IU may be dangerous. Through this and other mechanisms, such as harmonization with EU supplement levels we’ve discussed elsewhere, we can easily see how MPL could be used to eliminate access to high-dose supplements.

To make a long story short, mandatory listing legislation would add regulations to supplements that would increase prices for consumers and decrease available options, making it easy for the FDA to eliminate supplements that compete with the drugs that provide significant funding for the Agency. MPL would also throttle innovation in the supplement sector that delivers American consumers the most diverse array of cutting-edge products that support health, anywhere in the world.

Action Alert! Write to Congress and tell them to oppose mandatory product listing for supplements. Please send your message immediately.

A Protein Found in Human Sweat May Protect Against Lyme Disease

https://www.lymedisease.org/human-sweat-lyme-disease/

A protein found in human sweat may protect against Lyme disease

By Anne Trafton, MIT News

Lyme disease, a bacterial infection transmitted by ticks, affects nearly half a million people in the United States every year. In most cases, antibiotics effectively clear the infection, but for some patients, symptoms linger for months or years.

Researchers at MIT and the University of Helsinki have now discovered that human sweat contains a protein that can protect against Lyme disease. They also found that about one-third of the population carries a genetic variant of this protein that is associated with Lyme disease in genome-wide association studies.

It’s unknown exactly how the protein inhibits the growth of the bacteria that cause Lyme disease. However, the researchers hope to harness the protein’s protective abilities to create skin creams that could help prevent the disease, or to treat infections that don’t respond to antibiotics.

“This protein may provide some protection from Lyme disease, and we think there are real implications here for a preventative and possibly a therapeutic based on this protein,” says Michal Caspi Tal. She’s a principal research scientist in MIT’s Department of Biological Engineering and one of the senior authors of the new study.

Hanna Ollila, a senior researcher at the Institute for Molecular Medicine at the University of Helsinki and a researcher at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, is also a senior author of the paper, which has been published in Nature Communications. The paper’s lead author is Satu Strausz, a postdoc at the Institute for Molecular Medicine at the University of Helsinki.

A surprising link

Lyme disease is most often caused by a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi. In the United States, this bacterium is spread by ticks that are carried by mice, deer, and other animals. Symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and a distinctive bull’s-eye rash.

Most patients receive doxycycline, an antibiotic that usually clears up the infection. In some patients, however, symptoms such as fatigue, memory problems, sleep disruption, and body aches can persist for months or years.

Tal and Ollila, who were postdocs together at Stanford University, began this study a few years ago in hopes of finding genetic markers of susceptibility to Lyme disease. To that end, they decided to run a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on a Finnish dataset that contains genome sequences for 410,000 people, along with detailed information on their medical histories.

This dataset includes about 7,000 people who had been diagnosed with Lyme disease, allowing the researchers to look for genetic variants that were more frequently found in people who had had Lyme disease, compared with those who hadn’t.

Secretoglobin

This analysis revealed three hits, including two found in immune molecules that had been previously linked with Lyme disease. However, their third hit was a complete surprise — a secretoglobin called SCGB1D2.

Secretoglobins are a family of proteins found in tissues that line the lungs and other organs, where they play a role in immune responses to infection. The researchers discovered that this particular secretoglobin is produced primarily by cells in the sweat glands.

To find out how this protein might influence Lyme disease, the researchers created normal and mutated versions of SCGB1D2 and exposed them to Borrelia burgdorferi grown in the lab.

They found that the normal version of the protein significantly inhibited the growth of Borrelia burgdorferi. However, when they exposed bacteria to the mutated version, twice as much protein was required to suppress bacterial growth.

The researchers then exposed bacteria to either the normal or mutated variant of SCGB1D2 and injected them into mice. Mice injected with the bacteria exposed to the mutant protein became infected with Lyme disease, but mice injected with bacteria exposed to the normal version of SCGB1D2 did not.

“In the paper we show they stayed healthy until day 10, but we followed the mice for over a month, and they never got infected. This wasn’t a delay, this was a full stop. That was really exciting,” Tal says.

Preventing infection

After the MIT and University of Helsinki researchers posted their initial findings on a preprint server, researchers in Estonia replicated the results of the genome-wide association study, using data from the Estonian Biobank. These data, from about 210,000 people, including 18,000 with Lyme disease, were later added to the final Nature Communications study.

The researchers aren’t sure yet how SCGB1D2 inhibits bacterial growth, or why the variant is less effective. However, they did find that the variant causes a shift from the amino acid proline to leucine, which may interfere with the formation of a helix found in the normal version.

They now plan to investigate whether applying the protein to the skin of mice, which do not naturally produce SCGB1D2, could prevent them from being infected by Borrelia burgdorferi. They also plan to explore the protein’s potential as a treatment for infections that don’t respond to antibiotics.

“We have fantastic antibiotics that work for 90 percent of people, but in the 40 years we’ve known about Lyme disease, we have not budged that,” Tal says. “Ten percent of people don’t recover after having antibiotics, and there’s no treatment for them.”

A new approach to Lyme prevention?

“This finding opens the door to a completely new approach to preventing Lyme disease in the first place, and it will be interesting to see if it could be useful for preventing other types of skin infections too,” says Kara Spiller, a professor of biomedical innovation in the School of Biomedical Engineering at Drexel University, who was not involved in the study.

The researchers note that people who have the protective version of SCGB1D2 can still develop Lyme disease, and they should not assume that they won’t. One factor that may play a role is whether the person happens to be sweating when they’re bitten by a tick carrying Borrelia burgdorferi.

SCGB1D2 is just one of 11 secretoglobin proteins produced by the human body. Tal also plans to study what some of those other secretoglobins may be doing in the body, especially in the lungs, where many of them are found.

“The thing I’m most excited about is this idea that secretoglobins might be a class of antimicrobial proteins that we haven’t thought about. As immunologists, we talk nonstop about immunoglobulins, but I had never heard of a secretoglobin before this popped up in our GWAS study. This is why it’s so fun for me now. I want to know what they all do,” she says.

The research was funded, in part, by Emily and Malcolm Fairbairn, the Instrumentarium Science Foundation, the Academy of Finland, the Finnish Medical Foundation, the Younger Family, and the Bay Area Lyme Foundation.

**Comment**

These mice need to be observed for years, not 10 or even 30 days.

The most inaccurate statement in the article:

“We have fantastic antibiotics that work for 90 percent of people, but in the 40 years we’ve known about Lyme disease, we have not budged that,” Tal says. “Ten percent of people don’t recover after having antibiotics, and there’s no treatment for them.”

She’s right about not moving forward, but this 10% going onto suffer with chronic symptoms is flat-out wrong and needs to be corrected.  We also don’t have ‘fantastic antibiotics.’  We have a lot yet to learn about this complex illness due to a highly connected cabal with histories with biological weapons doing all the research utilizing faulty study designs.

For far too long this cabal has treated this as a mono-infection cured by a mono-therapy and nothing could be further from the truth.  There is absolutely nothing about this beast that is straight forward or easy, except the continued propaganda.
