As the need for new public health officials increases, I hereby offer my services, on a completely volunteer basis, to be Secretary of Playing in the Dirt. If that position is unavailable, I would be willing to serve in a more limited capacity, Undersecretary of Hanging Out with the Dogs and Cats.

I’m cool with you being Secretary of Dirt Playing, however I’d like to be considered for an Under Secretary position, as I love getting dirt under my fingernails while planting veggies and flowers. My qualifications include being raised on a farm where I studied under Grandpa and Grandma who were amazing farmers! I miss them so much, but know I’ll see them again in heaven.

You have all of the qualifications needed. Consider yourself hired if you are able to write cursive and it is legible. Amen to Grandpa and Grandma, and yes, there will be an incredible reunion one day. In the meantime, keep an eye on the eastern sky...

Secretary of “Playing of in the Dirt”, may be one the most coveted positions in any health care organization. Since you are the only one to recognize its extreme value, I vote yes, for your nomination. May your service aid in our nation’s improved health and provide increased funds in your family budget.

A "coming of age" that represents the best of:

... Honesty

... Integrity

... Clarity

... Transparency

Americans are truly 'sick' of the BS we've been fed and/or injected with. This awakening will continue with greater scrutiny and demand better ... results - outcomes - service. It's the American way!

With time I only grow more convinced that the undermining of American health is one component of a broader, long-term strategy to undermine the American republic. And I don't think it's all just about profit. There needs to be an aggressive campaign against bad actors, many of whom seem to have operated in plain sight. And I'm just not seeing that campaign. One year down, three to go; tick-tock. Bravo to RFK for his efforts. Some of the others? Not so much.

Thank you for sharing this. RFK, Jr. is a flat out stud. Much like POTUS, we finally have someone at the helm that is not a groomed product of industry's finishing school/s. With a history of litigating against multiple forms of pollution from the food we eat to toxic injections, I cannot imagine a more suitable suitable leader for Secretary of HHS. Under JFK, Jr.'s leadership, industry's stranglehold on our health care is loosening, tentacle by tentacle.

Any room for health care professionals with a history of walking out rather than doing harm?

😎

No worries either way, since I am enjoying my time, lost in the medicinal and edible weeds of flyover country, U.S.A..

This was a great year for health! We're having conversations that just years ago were banned. Conversations about vaccines, autism, health as whole, are being brought to the limelight. 2025 was a phenomenal year for health. Here's to the next year, and plenty more years, to ensure that health from here on out is always prioritized, pure, right, and true.

In my opinion,no matter the progress we have made, until we see people prosecuted ,and held accountable,to the fullest extent of the Law ,nothing will change. I am not sure we have the prison space to accommodate all of them,or enough gas to end their lives. They were partially culpable for ending a million lives ,for ego or greed,so they must pay dearly.

2025 is a "9 year" in numerology. Closure and transformation are a few of the significant meanings. 2026 is a "1 year" new beginnings. Take bold actions and set intentions. Astrology and numerology are ancient tools used by guess who? the "Wise Men" among many other teachers and prophets.

Oh My, the end to a dramatic year. Lots of highs, some lows and lots of in betweens. I feel we Have ended on a High Note in the ongoing battle for better health and for that I am so very grateful. Hard and diligent work has been accomplished and I'm anticipating a great coming year. Mr. Kennedy and his partners have not disappointed. A truer champion I could not have asked for. I see his hardships and struggles on his face and I am sad today for the Kennedy family.

May all of us here end this year of 2025 finding a measure of peace. May the New Year of 2026 bring resolutions for even more and stronger changes to the health and well being of our Nation and those within.

I drink to the health of another,

And the other I drink to is he -

In the hope that he drinks to another,

And the other he drinks to is me!

Here's tae them that like us -

Them that think us swell -

And here's tae them that hate us -

Let's pray for them as well!

I need to understand what this IS exactly. I'm a typical nobody, with a semi decent ability to Find Resources, when life calls for me to do so. I think these folks/this platform/resource are on the same page, but is it a Redundancy that waters us down, causes confusion? If so, then, geez. If not, ok. Is this a group that provides a political sumptin/weight that we were missing? Were we missing something?

It took me lots of years of following, cross-referencing, to trust those that got us here: TheHighwire, UCAN (Aaron Siri), IMAhealth (aka FLCCC), CHDtv, the CHD website. These have been, and still are great Resources- AND are free. They are easy to share, easy to USE, are Health Education TOOLS/Resources for us all, especially for newbies.

Dah, my focus is always - Resources. Same ol me. The public is clueless. I'm worried they are waking up, but are soon getting confused and frustrated.

Happy New Year Docs Malone and Docs M's posse!

This video just posted yesterday on YouTube. It's from East Alabama, where a 16 year-old girl named Scarlet Durden died unexpectedly from a heart attack on Christmas morning, "while she was Facetiming with her father who's in the hospital in need of a heart transplant."

MAHA indeed, and let's hope the folks in charge will get to the bottom of these tragedies, shall we?

UNFORTUNATELY THE GREATEST THREAT TO THIS MOVEMENT IS THE PENDULUM SWING OF POLITICS. THE ABILITY TO REALISTICALLY WAGE A LONG TERM EFFORT AS MOST OF THESE INITIATIVES AND PROJECTS TAKE MORE THAN 3-4 YEARS. BIG CORPORATE INTERESTS CAN JUST IGNORE THE TEMPORARY AND PLAY THE LONGER TERM GAME PUTTING LARGER INVESTMENTS IN THE COUNTER RATHER THAN ACCEPTING THE CURRENT REALITY AND GETTING ON BOARD...WE HAVE TO REALIZE THAT GETTING ON BOARD AS A DRUG COMPANY OR FOOD COMPANY MEANS A MASSIVE SHIFT IN COMPANY STRATEGY, A MASSIVE DOWNSIZING, AND A MASSIVE RE-ADJUSTMENT OF SHAREHOLDER EXPECTATIONS. SOME OF THOSE SHAREHOLDERS ARE LARGE GLOBALIST FAMILIES WHO BELIEVE OUR PLANET IS OVER-POPULATED BY AS MUCH AS 8B PEOPLE.

AND WE HAVE LARGE WELL-ENTRENCHED ENEMIES....COMMUNIST/SOCIALIST/MARXIST, INCLUDING CCP (FAR LEFT) WHO LIKE THE NIGHTS TEMPLAR, BELIEVE THAT ANY MEANS IS JUSTIFIED (KILLING OFF ALL OPPOSITION) AND HAVE HAD 20-30 YEARS OR MORE TO BUILD STRUCTURES THAT PLAY TO THE U.S. WEAKNESS BUILT INTO THE CONSTITUTION...OUR FREEDOMS AID OUR ENEMIES AND THEY KNOW HOW TO USE THEM. AND LET'S NOT FORGET OUR OWN ENTRENCHED ENEMIES FROM WITHIN OUR GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.

SO THIS MOVEMENT CERTAINLY HAS THE RIGHT IDEAS. BUT HOW DOES IT LAST? IT CAN'T BE SUCCESSFUL IN A SINGLE TERM. BUT THE THREATS ARE DOING THEIR BEST TO LABEL A CONTINUATION AS A MONARCHY, A DICTATORSHIP, AND OUR DANGER LIES IN HOW FAR WE'RE WILLING TO GO TO PREVENT THAT? DO WE SIT BACK AND RELY ON THE VOTERS IN MIDTERM? IN THE PAST WE HAVE SEEN THE RIGHT DOESN'T SPEND ENOUGH MONEY EDUCATING THE PUBLIC AND REACHING EVERY SEGMENT, NOOK, AND CRANNY, TO TRULY HAVE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND (EVEN THOSE WHO DON'T WISH TO LISTEN) - WE HAVEN'T BEEN AGGRESSIVE ENOUGH AT MAKING CERTAIN THAT AMERICA HEARS AND UNDERSTANDS THE PLAN AND WHAT EVERY ACTION MEANS AS RELATED TO THE OVERALL GOAL. MOST PEOPLE HAVE MADE UP THEIR MINDS AND NO LONGER LISTEN TO ANYTHING.

OUR CULTURE OF CONSERVATIVES AT IT BEST IS THE MASTER OF "UNDER-KILL" ALWAYS UNDERESTIMATING THE OPPOSITION AND HOW FAR IT WILL GO TO WIN. THEY ARE KILLERS.

There are so many government disinformation scandals, it is hard to make headway, But Bobby has! Thanks for the kudos to Kennedy, Jr., Dr. Malone! I am a medical researcher will several approved medicines on the International and US markets over my career, so I had to always be involved in safety studies through FDA and International agencies. But here is another fear, just invented out of whole cloth: Microplastics [MPs]

There is a big concern now about MPs. These now exist in the human body as sub-micron, tiny nanoparticles which we couldn't easily see just 50 years ago. They are everywhere, resulting from polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) friction. All our medicine bottles, food bottles, water bottles are made from PE and PP.

PE and PP comprise only hydrogen and carbon. PE and PP are probably one of the least toxic man-made materials on earth. I don;t think we should have this focus, as other "biggies" exist.

PE and PP are totally inert, but are broken down by aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, albeit very slowly, as carbon food. Since we now can measure smaller and smaller things, we see these nanoparticles everywhere. For example, scientists can now measure things in small amounts right in everyones backyard, like lead, uranium, arsenic and plutonium, etc. These are there!

An industry has sprung up with a full court press on ridding PE and PP from containers and plastic bags. AND, (you guessed it) replacing PE and PP bags with decomposable plastic bags, such as Dimethyl terephthalate copolymer bags.

Good, right? They also do fragment to micro plastics. One advertiser has some kind of vitamin pill to combat the PE/PP MPs—the pills come in a plastic bottle; I do not kid you.

Are PETs safe? Hardly. Terephthalates metabolize to a paraquinone-type reactive material which, in the kidneys, enhances the production of kidney stones (also called uroliths or calculi), and is a cause of bladder cancer. Hey, that can’t be right…consumer protection groups say that these new polymers have low LD50’s (a measure of acute toxicity) which is true. But medium to short term toxicity—not so hot.

Here is my brief encounter with terephthalate studies

1) "The induction of bladder stones by terephthalic acid, dimethyl terephthalate, and melamine (2,4,6-triamino-s-triazine) and its relevance to risk assessment."

2) "Modification of N-Methyl-N-Nitrosourea initiated bladder carcinogenesis in Wistar rats by terephthalic acid.”

3) "Chemical urolithiasis 2. Thermodynamic aspects of bladder stone induction by terephthalic acid and dimethyl terephthalate in weanling Fischer-344 rats.”

4) "Developmental toxicity and uterotrophic studies with di-2-ethylhexyl terephthalate.”

And this new paper out this year:

5) "Organ-specific accumulation and toxicity analysis of orally administered polyethylene terephthalate microplastics”

From this last one out in 2025: "Following the oral administration of PET-MPs in ICR (CD-1®) outbred mice, accumulation occurred predominantly in lungs, as confirmed by IVIS spectrum CT analysis and in vivo and ex vivo imaging. Toxicity assays revealed the development of granulomatous inflammation in the lungs at medium and high doses, indicating a concentration-dependent response.”

IMO, these PETs migrate to the lungs because they have a little dipolar affinity due to the benzene ring which PE/PPs don't have: these latter being entirely hydrophobic.
