1. Antibiotic Risks: Are They Worth It?
You can read the whole story of Alexander Fleming’s discovery of penicillin at The Post-Antibiotic Age – Collapse of the Germ Theory.
In the late 1930s, for once in their history the medical profession really did pull the rabbit out of the hat. Just in time for the millions injured in WWII.
Before that, from time immemorial bacterial infection after an injury could easily develop into a fatal situation. Down through history, untold millions died. So with the first antibiotic, humanity achieved a major milestone in evolution – a cure for bacterial infection. Alexander was the darling boy.
Unfortunately, the overprescription of these Miracle Drugs has killed even more people since then. HHS tells us how over 75,000 Americans die every year of infections they caught in the hospital that are resistant to all known antibiotics. Nosocomial. Exactly as predicted by Fleming himself.
The rise of the Superbugs – antibiotic resistance – creating ever stronger species of bacteria by teaching them to survive the challenge of unnecessary antibiotics.
Up until recently, most MDs were at least a little cautious about overprescription – like in the first few days of the slightest sniffle, they’d counsel waiting a week or so to give the body a chance to marshal its own immune system forces. Unless of course the patient insists, demanding that the doctor “do something.” And then he usually caves, and out comes the pad, right?
Inappropriate prescription is especially common with persistent respiratory conditions. After a five minute visit, the patient typically will walk out with Amoxicillin. Or maybe a Z-pack. Without the slightest attempt to diagnose the type of bacteria within the vast array of species floating around today. This Russian roulette approach only works about half the time.
By now there are many varieties of antibiotics used against dozens of different bacterial infections. There are a few criteria to increase the chances of success in guessing the right antibiotic. Easiest would be sputum culture. It is not routinely suggested because it might add an extra minute to the visit. Most patients don’t even know what it is. Let alone the idea that they can request it.
The sputum culture can focus on what antibiotics might work for this particular patient. But the culture adds an extra step – a trip to the lab, and then waiting a few days until the results come back. These days, many labs are too lazy to even run the sputum and don’t perform the test. They’ll blame the sample itself. But if the patient continues to return to the lab until they actually run the sample, that diagnosis can point the doctor in the right direction. If he’s paying attention.
Another example of misapplied science is the case where the patients decide to stop taking the antibiotic halfway through the prescription, because they “feel better.” The real science is clear. If it is the right antibiotic, symptoms may resolve after a few days. But stopping halfway through the course will not kill those bacteria which mutated fast enough to survive. Now they will be the predominant strain and will be resistant to the antibiotic in the future. Real scientists know this.
The other possibility is that it’s the wrong antibiotic – wrong guess. Doesn’t matter. Once you start the course you have to finish it. Otherwise you’re creating resistant strains for that particular antibiotic, even if it is the wrong one for your current infection.
Think of it this way: the oldest living things on earth are bacteria and viruses. They have been around for billions of years. They have persisted through myriads of changeful environments – hot, cold, wet, dry, with oxygen, without oxygen, earthquakes, volcanoes, glaciers – you name it. They’re still around. Thousands of species of plants and animals have come and gone because they couldn’t adapt. So it’s pretty safe to say that on this planet, the masters of adapting are bacteria and viruses.
Now suddenly in the 1940s, we introduce a new substance into the human population: penicillin, a drug which kills many types of bacteria. Do you think bacteria might have run into some other stresses in the past 10 billion years? Probably have. How did they survive? They changed – doctors say ‘mutated.’ The ones that mutated survived; the rest died. Scientists call this attenuation.
Best advice: if you get a persistent cough or a suspected infection, do nothing, for a month. Or two. Unless it’s an obvious life-threatening emergency. Give the body a chance to summon its own immune system. Of course that will include perfect lifestyle [60 Day Program] and diet – no drugs, no alcohol, no tobacco, no processed foods, no stress, etc. But it’s the only real immunity there is – your body’s own immune system. The only way you’ve ever recovered from any disease you’ve ever had.

3. MDs : COVID Brings Permanent Loss of Credibility
Their professional reputation wasn’t all that sterling even before the COVID pageant appeared on the scene. Just look at the skyrocketing number of unproven vaccines they’ve been hawking for the previous 2 decades. Or the trove of Boutique Epidemics they’d sent down the pike – imaginary diseases with imaginary pathogens, and even more imaginary solutions.
Or the exponential increase of autistic kids year after year, along with the steadfast refusal to spend one dime to research its etiology. Or Americans as the fattest, sickest, and dumbest people of any industrialized nation – the patients of their precious organized medicine. . .
All that notwithstanding, just take a brief look at a few of the impossibly unscientific COVID myths MDs have been forced to endorse these past two years:
A novel virus appeared across the world in less than 2 months
Even though the virus was never isolated or identified, it caused a new global disease
The COVID vaccine was the only cure, even though manufacturers and HHS admit it was never tested
The mandatory COVID vaccine was released with temporary EUA status a year ago
There is no plan to continue testing to get full approval
Masks were necessary even though WHO and CDC have admitted they do nothing to protect against any viral infection
But no, these obvious lies weren’t enough for our high priests of corporate medicine. Now the final insult has been levied. CDC and FDA Advisory Committees have just voted unanimously to add the untested COVID vaccine to the regular Childhood Immunization Schedule throughout the country. It takes only the slightest bit of research (thedoctorwithin, childrens health defense, etc) for any lucid individual to see that this lethal, untested, ineffective injection has killed well over a million Americans so far. And there is no plan to test it ever, now that the masses have accepted its phony EUA status. Why bother?
So ask any MD and he will endorse and fully proselytize these toxics frauds, his only weapons being the platitudes and cliches of corporate media which he has carefully memorized as “science.” Actual science discussion is not permitted – only these slogans. That;’s the full extent of the MDs ability to understand, and to hold forth about. In California there is a new law now that doctors may lose their licenses for openly discussing vaccine dogma.
This preposterous state of professional bankruptcy impugns the veracity for practically anything else they say, as individual practitioners, wouldn’t you think? I mean more and more people know better than to trust these guys who have lied so glibly about all the COVID fantasies. So why should MDs be trusted any better with their advice on heart disease, diabetes, psych disorders, infections, sprains and broken bones, etc? Do they care about the patient? He’s just another walking ATM machine to them, right? They only want to know two things – how fast can I get this patient out the door, and 2. – how many drugs and procedures can we sell him?
Perhaps this sum total of deception and malevolence served up in the past 2 years cannot endure without some correction of the karmic pendulum. In the natural order of things you’d think there’s a limit, even to what all the sheep will accept …
