The Urgent Need to Break the Public Health Monopoly

June 29, 2022

**UPDATE Dec. 2022**

The push for a medical monopoly is the “new norm,” and unless we stop it, we won’t have any health-care choices at all.  This is crucial for Lyme/MSIDS patients to understand as mainstream medicine already denies us appropriate testing, diagnosis, and treatment.  Often, alternative medicine is all some patients have access too – which very well could disappear quite soon.  The FDA has a long history of attacking anything that threats its bed-fellow, Big Pharma.  It censors free speech and targets companies that compete with their monopoly of “FDA-approved” drugs that fund the agency.

Please also read this excellent article ‘Parasitic’ Private Equity Consumes U.S. Healthcare System.  Similarly to how Big Pharma is buying up supplement companies to eliminate competition, private equity firms are gobbling up physician and dental practices, homecare, hospital agencies, urgent care facilities, emergency medical transportation, and many other services patients pay more for inferior care.

Independent doctors are often the only reason Lyme/MSIDS patients are diagnosed and treated appropriately.  These Lyme-literate doctors have been mercilessly attacked for simply treating patients that are gas-lit everywhere else.  Further, the monopolization of medicine has never been more clearly seen than in the time of COVID where hospitals have been incentivized to follow a faulty, fraudulent government narrative.  Financial incentives explain the over counting of COVID cases, hospitalizations, deaths, the use of the toxic, ineffective remdesivir, the use of ineffective ventilators, and “vaccine” mandates for healthcare workers. Hospitals have truly become modern-day killing fields, and nurses are warning about ‘brutal’ COVID treatment protocols, and that patients need an advocate to fight the “white coats” in the bought-out medical establishment.

The Urgent Need to Break the Public Health Monopoly

By   June 11, 2022  Reposted from Newsweek.

Public health initiatives in the United States are suffering from a crisis of trust. Recent polls show that only a third of the public trusts insurance and pharmaceutical companies, while just 56 percent trust the government health agencies that are meant to regulate these industries. Another survey during the COVID-19 pandemic showed that only around half of Americans have a “great deal” of trust in the CDC, while a mere third have such trust in the Department of Health and Human Services.

This lack of trust is not merely temporary. Yes, our health agencies and companies have made mistakes and propagated falsehoods in the past two years. But their deep unpopularity is not merely the result of circumstance. Without alternatives, these institutions will always lack accountability, and therefore, trust. America is nothing without our unique history of popular sovereignty. We can no longer give public officials unilateral decision-making power over our public health response without competing voices, checks and balances.

SUMMARY:

  • Public health ‘experts’ remain clueless as to why the the public distrusts them
  • “Vaccine hesitancy” is not only an issue in the black community whom the government has shamelessly experimented on, but is also due to government dishonesty and the fact some don’t want to be their guinea pigs
  • Americans watch on while public health ‘experts’ lie, misdirect, ignore evidence, and yield to professional pressure
  • Government monopoly on public health makes misconduct inevitable.  It can only be solved by introducing real competition and accountability – outside of the government
  • Courageous men and women signed the Great Barrington Declaration, which pointed out the flawed reasoning of the COVID response, and many lost their careers
  • Every single concern and recommendation the declaration listed has been vindicated
  • Former Indiana attorney general Curtis Hill convoked the citizen-led project America’s Grand Jury, to publicize the public health establishment’s legal and scientific malfeasance, which unfortunately has been branded a conservative political stunt, when everyone should desire truth and transparency
  • Before the next public health crisis, we need non-governmental alternatives to foil federal bureaucracies like the CDC
  • We need privately funded laboratory research and an alternative for peer-review and influence-free conclusions
  • We need government-free data-gathering and health recommendations
  • Experts need to be exposed when they are wrong – the core of the scientific method
  • Unless there is a new means of decision-making in public health, we are doomed to repeat 2020 over and over like a bad Groundhog Day

Radiculoneuritis due to Lyme disease in a North American child

Alexandra H.BakerMDab

Highlights

  • Peripheral nerve pain can be a presentation of early disseminated Lyme disease
  • Isolated neuroradiculits from Lyme is rare but important to recognize and treat
  • Patients with painful radiculitis should be tested for Borrelia infection

Abstract

Lyme disease is the most frequently reported vector-borne illness in the United States. It is caused by infection with Borrelia burgdorferi via the bite of an infected blacklegged tick (Ixodes spp.) Lyme disease has three stages: early localized, early disseminated, and late. Early disseminated Lyme disease may include neurologic manifestations such as cranial nerve palsy, meningitis, and radicular pain (also called radiculoneuritis). Isolated radiculoneuritis is a rare presentation of early disseminated Lyme disease and is likely underrecognized. We report a case of isolated Lyme radiculoneuritis in a child in Massachusetts characterized by fever and allodynia of the upper back that was treated in the emergency department. Laboratory investigation demonstrated elevated inflammatory markers and positive Lyme testing. Magnetic resonance imaging with gadolinium contrast revealed nerve root enhancement in C5-C6 and C6-C7. The symptoms resolved with oral doxycycline. Neuropathic pain should raise suspicion for neurologic manifestations of Lyme disease in North America even in the absence of meningitis and cranial nerve palsy. We report how timely recognition of this rare syndrome in North America is important and may prevent progression to late disease.

Again, this is not a “rare” syndrome, but is just “rarely” reported.  Big diff.  The authors even state that this syndrome is “likely underrecognized.”

Young People Dying in Their Sleep Now a Regular Occurrence & 9 in 10 Deaths are in Fully Vaxxed Canadians, But Fully Vaxxed Trudeau Gets COVID Again & Recommends More Shots

Young People Dropping Dead: “We Have to Protect These Children”

An impassioned Pierre Kory delivers a critical call to action

The Vigilant Fox

On June 30th, Dr. Pierre Kory delivered an exceptional opening address at the COVID-19 Congress in Brazil, speaking about his journey, censorship, and the grip Pharma has on medicine.

His last two minutes were special, where he passionately reflected on the modern-day tragedy affecting young people.

“You know, I do feel bad for the world. I cannot stand hearing about all the people dying. They’re dropping dead. Young people who don’t wake up. Healthy, beautiful young people, their lives, they are not waking up right now. They are being found in cars, they’re being found down in parking lots, especially being found down on their favorite places, which are the athletic fields all around the world. They are dying, young people are dropping dead, and they’re sweeping [them under] the rug.”

Young people dying in their sleep is now happening on a regular basis

Here’s the latest victim. I wonder what the cause is? It only started happening after the vaccines rolled out, and it’s ONLY happening to vaccinated people. The CDC refuses to investigate.

Steve Kirsch

The ink hadn’t even dried on my story on the death on June 12 of a healthy young teenager, 17-year-old Gwen Casten, who died in her sleep when I read this article about another high-profile vaccine-related death of a healthy 34-year-old who also apparently died in her sleep on Jun 20, 2022, just 8 days after Gwen Casten died.

Just 8 days between these two “black swan events.”

No doubt this trend will continue as I pointed out in my earlier article that these are not isolated cases at all. All the dead healthy young people who died in their sleep were all vaccinated with the COVID vaccines. That’s the one thing they all have in common.

So we now have 8 black swans this year, and none that I’m aware of before that (and I’m 65 years old).

Fortunately for the vaccine makers, no health authority in the world is investigating these deaths because healthy young people dying in their sleep is the new normal.  (See link for article)

_________________

Kirsch also revealed that according to the latest survey conducted by Pollfish on behalf of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation (VSRF), over 750,000 people died from the COVID “vaccines” which should be halted immediately, but the CDC has not been analyzing its own database and has been deleting injury reports.

Writes Kirsch,

Our latest poll is devastating for the official narrative:

1. a 6.6% rate of heart injury

2. 2.7% are unable to work after being vaccinated (5M people)

3. 6.3% had to be hospitalized

4. you’re more likely to die from COVID if you’ve taken the “vaccine”

5. Almost as many (77.4% to be more exact) households lost someone from the vaccines as from COVID.

While the official data states that one million Americans have died “from COVID”, it is unclear whether Covid was the primary cause of death. CDC director Rochelle Walensky admitted in January that 75% of Covid deaths occurred in people who had “at least four comorbidities.”

Go here for more on the survey.

Trudeau Panics as Fully Vaccinated account for 9 in every 10 COVID-19 Deaths in Canada over the past month; 4 in every 5 of which were Triple Jabbed

By on

The Prime Minister of Canada is secretly sweating after his Draconian vaccine mandates led to fully vaccinated Canadians accounting for 9 in every 10 Covid-19 deaths over the past month, with 4 in every 5 of those deaths among the triple vaccinated.

Despite allegedly being triple vaccinated himself, the Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau allegedly tested positive for COVID-19 for a second time on 13th June 2022.  (See link for article)

**Comment**

Similarly to the corrupt and manipulative CDC, the Government of Canada is attempting to also deceive the public by providing a tally of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths going all the way back to December 14th 2020, which was when just 0.3% of the population was considered fully “vaccinated”.

By using the ‘Wayback Machine‘, we can do the math ourselves.

Across the board there are more infections, hospitalizations and death in the vaxxed than in unvaxxed.  Trudeau’s advice: go and get boosted

AAPS Announces Support For Physician Who is to Be Imprisoned For Making a Speech & Minnesota Doctor Threatens Retaliation Against Medical Board

https://aapsonline.org/aaps-announces-support-for-physician-who-is-to-be-imprisoned-for-making-a-speech-in-the-capitol/

AAPS Announces Support for Physician Who is to Be Imprisoned for Making a Speech in the Capitol

Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) announces its support for emergency physician and founder of America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) Simone Gold, M.D., J.D.,who  has been sentenced by Judge Christopher (“Casey”) Cooper to 60 days in federal prison, a year’s supervised release, and a fine of $9,500, the largest fine ever imposed on Capitol demonstrators, for the misdemeanor charge of entering a restricted building on Jan 6.

Dr. Gold was in Washington, D.C., by invitation to speak about COVID-19 at a Rally for Health Freedom on the East side of the Capitol. After all the speeches were canceled without explanation, she entered the Capitol building along with a crowd, and attempted to deliver her message there while a police officer stood by without objecting.

AFLDS explained the events of Jan 6 and the subsequent armed invasion to arrest Dr. Gold at her California home in a press statement. The Judge disagreed with Dr. Gold’s portrayal of her conduct as peaceful, in lengthy harsh comments during the sentencing. The facts of the situation were not adjudicated at a trial because Dr. Gold had agreed to a plea bargain.

Dr. Gold’s license to practice medicine is threatened because of alleged “misinformation” about COVID-19 early treatment and vaccination. The president of the Medical Board of California, attorney Kristina D. Lawson, wrote a letter to Judge Cooper prior to sentencing, alluding to a popular AFLDS video: “Doc Tracy, Physician Investigator: ‘Lawson’s Hunt.’”

“Dr. Gold put her professional life on the line in her efforts to provide extensive, life-saving information about early out-patient treatment of COVID-19 and adverse effects of mRNA vaccines,” stated AAPS executive director Jane Orient, M.D. “She made reasonable assumptions that are apparently no longer correct about freedom of speech and assembly, and equal application of the law.”

“This should concern every American,” Dr. Orient said. “Also, those who are defining ‘misinformation’ about COVID need to answer: ‘How many of the million Americans who reportedly died from COVID had received inexpensive early treatment, and how many were denied access to such treatment?’”

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) is a national organization representing physicians in all specialties since 1943. Its motto is omnia pro aegroto (everything for the patient).

3 Case Reports on Baker’s Cysts & Lyme Diagnosis

Pediatric Lyme Disease Presenting as a Ruptured Popliteal Cyst

A Report of 3 Cases

Sager, Alora F. MS1; Carolan, Patrick L. MD2; Georgiadis, Andrew G. MD3,4,a; Laine, Jennifer C. MD3,4 Author Information

JBJS Case Connector: January-March 2022 – Volume 12 – Issue 1 – e21.00813

doi: 10.2106/JBJS.CC.21.00813

Abstract
Cases: 

This case report describes 3 pediatric patients presenting with acute calf or knee pain, calf swelling, and a ruptured popliteal cyst diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging. Lyme disease was serologically confirmed in each case. In all instances, treatment was delayed because of atypical presentation. All patients responded favorably after antibiotic therapy.

Conclusion: 

The differential diagnosis of Lyme disease should be considered in the context of children presenting with atraumatic unilateral calf pain and a ruptured popliteal cyst. Otherwise, this unusual presentation could delay diagnosis or result in unnecessary surgical intervention, particularly in pediatric patients.

**Comment**

Again, I’m not sure just how “unusual” this presentation is. Remember that “rarely reported” is quite different that rarely occurs. I’ve had a Baker’s Cyst for a year and it’s not fun.

I have found the following to help tremendously:

  • https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2022/05/04/why-do-some-people-develop-severe-lyme-arthritis-others-dont/  See comment section.  For me, getting rid of gluten was huge, as is drinking plenty of water, taking MSM, systemic enzymes, LDN, niacinamide & vitamin C daily.  All of these are anti-inflammatories.  While I do not have Lyme/MSIDS symptoms, I believe this Baker’s Cyst is damage done by the infections.  I also believe you can have an active infection cause a Baker’s Cyst directly.  While anti-inflammatories will help both, it’s imperative you treat the underlying infections as well if you are symptomatic.

This current research also shows CoQ10 to be a relevant antioxidant for preventing mitochondrial dysfunction in Lyme.
