Be warned big pharma is buying up natural therapy companies/ manufacturers. The I- herb brand has dozens of companies under their umbrella. The majority is f Vitamin C on the market is made in China from GMO corn. I also came at a post the other day where a guy claims he has found the vaccine technology in his Ivermectin. Dr Ana Mihlacea on Substack has also found the technology in n insulin, dental anaesthetics and Dexamethazone. For those who are not aware allopathic medicine is becoming a war zone.

We have been forewarned. Not just in the medical profession, but with just about everything. The warnings, admonitions have been out there. For instance, take President Eisenhower's speech warning of the Military-Industrial-[Medical] Complex of 1962 (?). Take the "predictions" of a ('Corona virus') "pandemic". For at least 60+ years, the warnings, predictions, hints have been out there. We have been too busy to see them or too content to heed them. Shame on us. Now we need to resist and take action. Just hope that enough people will awaken and join us in time-- before everything collapses.

It has become clear that the medical model has changed and will never be the same. It started with large medical centers buying up doctors’ practices in the 1980s. Physicians were no longer independent contractors but employees of the medical center. That morphed into “evidenced based medicine” where a group of physicians determined the best protocol for dealing with a particular condition. The medical centers employees must follow the protocol. Gone was patient centered medicine where patients were individuals with individual needs. Then the medical centers determined that there was a better way to make money by hiring people with lower credentials to treat patients. So physician assistants and nurse practitioners were hired to “assist” physicians with patient load. They were trained to perform many of the procedures formerly done by the physician. Now patients primarily see physician assistants or nurse practitioners for most of their care. It has become more pronounced since COVID. I’m sure insurance companies and Medicare share in the creation of all this. Our health care is now rationed, limited and impersonal. But we’re still paying the high costs of insurance. What do we do? I fear there is nothing. I’m a retired registered nurse, 80 years old, and I know we are being shortchanged.

You said a mouthful. I'm retired and find it difficult to claim I'm a physician now.

A Midwestern Doctor wrote in a sub stack called the Forgotten Side of Medicine about a book called the "Socialization of American Medicine". Any medical professional may find it fascinating. There was a shift in the 1980s where I think doctor's became enraptured with the money side of things (a generalization for sure as I knew many dedicated doctors). But the quote "We have met the enemy and he is us" resonates. Nothing happens overnight. There was definitely a gradual disengagement and now many of us find ourselves in a position where we are not really sure who to trust with our health. That disengagement convinced most people not to trust themselves or believe their own intellectual abilities. As for me - I am going to follow something historical (as noted in the book): trust myself and verify all professional recommendations. They have always been just that.
