Monopolies, Oligarchy, Elitism, Authoritarianism and Groupthink are hurting patients, driving up costs, blocking innovation, and trampling civil rights
I have two grandsons that are dedicated to the medical community and one is a radiology technician and the other is a nurse. Their choices have been limited due to the time and financial constraints required to achieve a higher level of medical education..
our medical gatekeepers are not doing their job and allowing qualified American born citizens to achieve the best. Consequently, our medical system is importing medical personnel from other countries who do not necessarily understand the culture in America and relate to the patients properly..
Nursing home employment is one of the worst, so far as skill goes. The wage is poor, skill sets low and the elderly are often abused. I was at the nursing home of my mother, Every day. By the end of nine months I had pages of feedback for the director. She basically told me the same thing; her hands were "tied".
Like. I believe the lack of proper care at nursing homes is a widespread problem in our country. Many people just can’t afford the ever increasing prices. Maybe the owners of the facilities try to reduce their costs by hiring substandard caretakers. The need for these care centers appears to be escalating due to our misdirected medical system. More and more families are trapped by this conundrum.
A medical story getting absolutely no coverage is the care our military and families are getting today. Back in my day in the Air Force docs were being drafted and so all the bases were well staffed. Military and immediate families received very good care as did retirees and their families. Once the draft was dropped they had to depend on docs who got gov help in med school for new blood and that was not enough so they are utilizing foreign born and trained. Not so good. And retirees now solely dependent on VA for care. Also not so good.
Like. The premise of your opening remarks touched such personal concerns for me that I immediately felt a need to respond. After reading your entire missive, I realized you have included many more salient concerns. Thank you Doctor Malone, for always offering a complete analysis of our many medical insufficiencies.
Nursing Homes are a wonderful source of income for lawyers. Risperdal: J&J was ordered to pay $2.2 billion in fines and settlements for improperly marketing the antipsychotic drug Risperdal, including promoting it for unapproved uses. It is still on the market with a black box warning. Nursing homes embraced it big time because it made their patients docile and sedated. After knee surgery in 2024, I was in a Rehab center and the two Jamaican nurses treated me like a sack of flour. Our medical system is floundering.
Since I have heard on several occasions the AMA can boast of less than 20% of physician membership it would be worth a deep dive by investigative journalism to see where all that loot they wield as a club actually comes,from
Sounds like the docs have a choice to be a part of the AMA or not. If they are choosing not, you are right, why? I chose not to be a part of the teacher union because I knew they were not working for teachers or to offer a better education for students. Scare tactics were used to get me to join (what if you get sued by a student/family, what if your principal accuses you of something no one will be on your side, etc), but I didn't. Instead I joined PEI (Professional Educators of Iowa) for a much lower annual fee.
The AMA took a big hit when it came out for medicare. By the time the ACA came around were down to reported 16% participation. Most subscriptions,paid for by employers
Yup! Just as guilds in the Middle Ages siloed and protected incomes/skillsets from unwanted competition, the censoring of information by social media and licensing does the same today. The Internet and AI are making crucial information available to all who wish to learn. It is just a matter of developing critical thinking by a few to stop the madness they have been promoting. With your backing, RFK, Jr has become one of our tip-of-the-spear leading authorities.
Hey.. you forgot the AVMA: it has a $60-70 million budget and its building in Schaumberg, Illinois is valued at $27 million. AVMA has about 100,000 members. The AABP (American Association of Bovine Practitioners) has 5,000 members and an operating budget of $2 million.
While the AABP is much smaller, its clout in DC is felt via its ties with Pharma's lobbyists from the Animal Health Institute (AHI). Over the last 3 years I've been on AABP's Committee on Pharmaceutical and Biologic Issues (CPBI) and I've had an insider seat on how things go....
And those modern guilds and committees do go *EXACTLY* as you state in your article. Even though I am duly credentialed as a degreed and licensed veterinarian, when I brought up at the CPBI the use of a natural treatment to reduce antibiotic use (e.g. thymol with peer-reviewed research) it was flatly rejected by a leading pharmacologist (not enough efficacy studies even though there were some) and basically seconded by another pharmacologist (due to its being compounded and only FDA-approved products are talked about by AABP.
To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. I've decided to not re-join AABP, even though I've spent 30 years with them not poking them and being collegial (and it's been generally reciprocated). But the flat rejection of an alternative therapy that has actual scientific evidence from peer-reviewed journals was the last straw. It was clearly pharmacologists who are part of the Pharma-university-regulatory complex exercising their muscle.
We need to overturn Compliance Policy Guide 440.100 like Sec. Azar under the first Trump administration did to get promising "old" medicines back into the hands of clinicians to help reduce antibiotic use as well as to treat other commonly encountered conditions. Secretary Kennedy could do this in a stroke of his pen.
But, to be fair, there *are* some good medical groups, like the Veterinary Botanical Medicine Association and the American College of Veterinary Botanical Medicine (both of which I am a founding member). I've decided I to only band together with others that are Health Freedom oriented rather than The Machine oriented.
Two years ago, I lost one of my precious dogs, Emmy Lou, a Bichon Frise-Poodle mix to stomach cancer at a relatively young age (9 y/o). When I first took her to be examined & evaluated, they diagnosed her with a stomach ulcer & put her on a few medications meant to treat stomach ulcers. When she did not respond to the medications or improve, I brought her back to the animal hospital. They decided that they had misdiagnosed her & that what she really has was stomach cancer. I asked the vet if she had a few minutes to spare in her busy schedule as I had some important information to share with her. I then asked her if she was familiar with the medication Fenbendazole (which is a dog de-womer) & its role in treating & often curing cancer. She was completely unfamiliar with its use for this purpose. I also brought with me testimonials, which included a dog cured of sarcoma with Fenbendazole. She told me that the dog's recovery was likely due to the fact that he had been misdiagnosed & did not actually have cancer. At this point, I was already at least two years into learning of the benefits of anti-parasitics for cancer, so was pretty well-versed & confident in what I was telling her. I told her that not only had she misdiagnosed my precious Emmy Lou, but that I had lost the only window I had to possibly cure her. I was quite angry, but kept my composure. I gave her an earful & hopefully something to think about.
It's ok to be angry at the vet. You were right to say that she mis-diagnosed things. Did she even scope her to look into the stomach (equine vets do it with suspected ulcers).
I always wonder about all the annual vaccines during "wellness checks" and the damage they can do (especially causing itchiness and behavior problems). I am sorry about your pup and that the vet wasn't open to something other than they knew. And yes, I've heard of fenbendazole and the theory of parasites causing cancer. During Covid I periodically took ivermectin (every 2 weeks) for quite some time.
Yes, they did scope her & decided that what they saw, was a very bad ulcer, hence all of the ulcer medications. This particular vet was not at all familiar with fenbendazole for cancer & I also sensed that she was not even open to the possibility that it had anti-cancer properties. I have also decided not to revaccinate my other dogs for anything. All they do is promote illness, but generate lots of income for conventional vets. Many, many years ago, I read a book by Martin Goldstein, DVM, called, "The Nature of Animal Healing". (1999). Dr. Goldstein really opened my eyes to the dangers associated with vaccines. I still have the book & refer back to it often.
See the website of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association www. AHVMA.org They have a searchable data base for members in each state and the modalities they use. Lots of small animal vets on it.
What change in human personality will make a lasting impression in these situations? From Medieval times til now the playing field is the same. Only a dramatic shift in Ethics (like Kennedy) will have a lasting impression. There do need to be guidelines and testing of skills and oversight, and yet the power and control takes over the process. The headquarters in Chicago looks like a building of death, blocking out the light. Evolution of Human Beings is slow and tedious.
I think Dr Malone you and Dr McCullough are the voice of our generation of physicians who took The Hippocratic Oath seriously. We need a modern day oath for our corrupt system to come clean and return to its once respected status
Bingo! It certainly rings true as a provider and consumer of health care in Oklahoma. The kids are in charge of the candy store here. My preventive health care is on me because it is non patented treatments to avoid Rx meds. As an optometrist I am limited to only two practice locations in a very rural state.
My white, Irish, brother in law was not 'accepted' into 'regular' medical school, so he became an osteopathic doctor. In his hind sight it was a blessing in disguise. He was allowed to treat the whole person and not regulated to always follow the common practice. When my son was diagnosed with White Dot syndrome, my brother in law said he needed, if I remember correctly, some type of shot in his eyes. The regular doc said let's watch the progression and they did nothing. Now my son has permanent sight damage.
Not sure about the situation you describe, but my eye doctor doing the shots, as a member of a retinal practice, is an osteopath (DO). IMO, he is well informed, competent and effective. I would fight to avoid transfer to any other practitioner.
We also have a Guild of Educationese, currently known as Teacher Certification. While there might be a need for an education degree for the primary school age cohort, what if the only requirement to be a high school chemistry teacher would be a degree in chemistry, or the passing of a rigorous test in chemistry, rather than a slew of John Dewey inspired education classes, where eyes-glazing-over is an all-too-common byproduct for the inductees of the guild hegemony?
Interesting. Seems NY schools found,when they banned phones in class that the students cannot read analog time, i.e., a clock. So kids cannot read at targeted grade, cannot perform simple arithmetic calculations and cannot read time. All of which brings up the question of just what has the $1'trillion spent by the Dept. of Educ. bought us?
The Epoch Times ran an article last month about the cutting edge education developments in Indiana. Worth a look. We take the paper version so I don't have a link. Things like micro-schools. Warmed my heart because I believe that the move away from the local one-room school, at least in grades 1-8, was a big mistake. And consolidation, even worse. Children treated like cattle. Except cows are better readers. And Texas has a long way to go. The superintendent in our small district brings home $400,000/year. Results? 'C' rating for the district.
An unrecognized casualty of the subjugating wave of healthcare industry capture is naturopathic medicine. With mainstream media as it's puppet, industry successfully demonized naturopathic medicine as archaic witch doctoring. Industry's main incentive being anything natural is not patentable; hence insufficiently profitable. Another industry incentive being cures are found in naturopathic medicine and cures are again not profitable. Alternatively, symptom treatment of chronic illness is extremely profitable. As the premier disseminator of "vaccines", the AAP is the most perfect example of Dr. Malone's expos'e.
Thanks for outlining how the medical establishment is similar to the guilds. The AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association) has been trying to do the same thing to us massage therapists for years. I joined the another association ABMP but AMTA is busy trying to end run other associations regarding licensing across states. They've always felt they were better than anyone else and have driven up the hours needed to practice. When I started 38 years ago, you could apprentice, not anymore. I've always done medical massage but not every therapist wants to do that but AMTA wants all massage therapists at that level. Ridiculous!
Excellent analogies. 1) Medical organizations are like medieval guilds. 2) Use the same technique to reduce the power of medical organizations as was used to reduce to reduce guilds
I agree the medical associations are protective of themselves, not the welfare of patients. It is long past time to break their hold over our current medical system. Additionally, the CDC has become so corrupted by the pharmaceutical complex that it needs to be completely overhauled or cancelled. Then build something better. I understand there are thousands( I heard 12,000) scientists working there to simply advise doctors. The CDC essentially ends up mandating state vaccines by “recommending” them. Good comparison, Dr Malone, between the guilds of old and medical associations. The first to go should be the American Association of Pediatrics who supports castration and mutilation of minors.

Public Health based on private unpublished information (e.g. raw data) does NOT sound like informed consent to me. Go Bobby!
I noticed that there are about 75k ICD codes but only 3 for vaccine injury that I could find:
T50Z95A Adverse effect of other vaccines and biological substances, initial
T50Z95D Adverse effect of other vaccines and biological substances, subsequent
T50Z95S Adverse effect of other vaccines and biological substances, sequela
That doesn't make sense to me if you really care about vaccine safety.
