re: Ivermectin: Cancer killer Are you aware of these studies?

And I think it is really easy to be cynical about the medical industry, especially in recent years and especially given the remarkably poor health of Americans broadly.

Appreciate that, and look, I admit that plus some personal stuff is probably what it is. Long story short - I've had high BP for the last 8 years or so. I exercise, a lot, eat mostly mediterranean, everything from scratch, stay out of the grocery aisles, don't have a history of high BP in the family. Yet all my doctor wanted to do was increase dose, increase dose, increase dose.

I went outside of big medical, still licensed, but outside, he changed my medication, talked about very specific changes to a few lifestyle issues, and voila - BP dropped 40 points in less than 40 days. It was nuts. That's just 1 story, but if I would have stayed with the same doctor - I would have just received dose after dose, after dose, with no real questioning as to what it was. I had a few conversations with my doc about lifestyle - and tried a lot of stuff - but he just gave up and increased dosage. That was all that mattered. I was willing to try anything, and he didn't care.

Yes, that's a singular instance, but I have, and have heard, a few more. It just doesn't give a lot of confidence.

For the life of me, I don't know why we allow pharmaceutical commercials. I understand them, but often, I already get the spiel from all the reps that come and go. I like the reps, especially when they bring lunch, and will listen to them, so I've broadened my awareness of new treatments, even those that aren't directly related to my field. But I don't understand what purpose they serve for the general public. What people tend to fixate on is not the drug, but the adverse effects, which need to be mentioned yes, but also they just tend to stress people out and serve as medium for distrust for any medication.

1000%

I wrote the comment to someone saying "If Ivemectin had an effect on cancer, they 100% would have released it and announced it," and I just don't trust that perspective. I don't think Ivermectin does, but the fact that some of the fasting+meds science isn't really trusted on Cancer tells a lot. There's some seriously good work out there being done on fasting and cancer, but the medical establishment doesn't care. Even fasting to navigate chemo has some fairly strong support.

I don't think big pharma would ever release something that would significantly impact a major money maker. And unless someone discovers it in a shack somewhere, it's going to be embedded within the system - and the system won't let something like that out. I just don't see it. Can they make a lot of money in the short term? Of course, but I would say it isn't as interested in that as a perptual, never ending flow of drug being bought.

It would be easy to be cynical, but I also think we can do better, although I am not the man to do that. I don't care about the business side, I just want to treat patients. Thus I am not sure how to fix the situation but like others I can sense that there is something wrong about approaching the patient as an opportunity for profit rather than as a human being.

This. And that's all I mean. Look, I don't know if the COVID vaccine was legit or not. But it sure doesn't feel like it. It feels like a big grift. And the fact that we saw probably good minded doctors follow and not question, is what puts the whole system up for debate.There was very little dissension and media did a great job of excising those who did. No legit questions were asked and answered, it was just "do as we say," and nothing more. And even if the vaccine was legit, it sure wasn't necessary by all standards.

That's really the issue. We don't see upheaval, we don't see questioning. And I don't think most doctor's have ill will, so when I say the system doesn't want to cure things, I don't mean doctor's at all. But they also don't critique or stand or question. I'm not going to dig into the whole debate of "the system," as said above, it's complex, but the very fact that a pharmaceutical company would make a very calculated call about curing something AND the fact that doctor's, for self preservation reasons, seemingly didn't really question COVID at all - those are parts of "the system," that create an environment that isn't really rewarded for curing things, or making them disappear.

I also dislike private equity's involvement in hospitals, as I tend to think that trying to derive profit or excessive profit from medical care can lead to some really perverse incentives.

---

This is something that blows my mind. Physicians are not allowed to own hospitals now due to conflicts of interest.

The alternative we've moved forward with is that groups whose sole purpose is to generate profit are now taking ownership. With physicians, it was a potential problem, but with private equity, it's the stated goal.

Pharmaceutical companies will never conduct honest trials of anything that doesn't earn them profits in the billions

This is dumb. They pour millions into multiple compounds, yet only about 10% ever make it to market.

I didn't say some weren't evil or engaged in fudging numbers.

And the opioid crisis, at least 50%, lies at the feet of government and their media sychophants pushing "pain is the fifth vital sign" on the medical field for almost all of the1990s. It was in newspapers and magazines like Newsweek. Then doctors were sued for under treatment of pain.
