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..

My view.

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.

Nursing homes are being bought out by ever larger conglomerates. So you see the same loss of quality care as experienced from the bought out physician practices and hospitals.

Travis Ogle's avatar

Thank you weedom1, for that additional information.

We have been luckier out in flyover country where locals are hired into the system, and even if many lack top notch training, their common sense and morals cause them to keep a generally clean place with at least home quality care and decent food. (And way better conditions during the "lockdowns" of course.) But I have seen a lot of ECFs and even the 'fancy' urban ones are not as good.

And the VA is loaded with them.

Micheal Nash, Ph. D.'s avatar

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.

THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION

https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/supressed_inventions/suppressed_inventions12.htm

Cornelius P. Rhoads, who had spent the 1930s at the Rockefeller Institute, became the director at Memorial Sloan-Kettering in 1939. He remained in that position until his death in 1959. Rhoads was the head of the chemical warfare service from 1943-1945, and afterwards became the nation's premier advocate of chemotherapy.

It was Dr. Rhoads who prevented Dr. Irene Diller from announcing the discovery of the cancer micro-organism to the New York Academy of Sciences in 1950. It also was Dr. Rhoads who arranged for the funds for Dr. Caspe's New Jersey laboratory to be cancelled after she announced the same discovery in Rome in 1953. An IRS investigation, instigated by an unidentified, powerful New York cancer authority, added to her misery, and the laboratory was closed.

Thus the major players on the cancer field are the doctors, the private research institutions, the pharmaceutical companies, the American Cancer Society, and also the U.S. government through the National Cancer Institute (organizing research) and the Food and Drug Administration (the dreaded FDA which keeps the outsiders on the defensive through raids, legal harassment, and expensive testing procedures).

Part 2:

The conspiracy to limit and eliminate competition from non-drug therapies began with the Flexner Report of 1910.

Abraham Flexner was engaged by John D. Rockefeller to run around the country and 'evaluate' the effectiveness of therapies taught in medical schools and other institutions of the healing arts. Rockefeller wanted to dominate control over petroleum, petrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals (which are derived from 'coal tars' or crude oil). He arranged for his company, Standard Oil of New Jersey to obtain a controlling interest in a huge German drug cartel called I. G. Farben.

He pulled in his stronger competitors like Andrew Carnegie and JP Morgan as partners, while making other, less powerful players, stockholders in Standard Oil.

Those who would not come into the fold "were crushed" according to a Rockefeller biographer (W. Hoffman, David: Report on a Rockefeller - 1971, page 24.) The report Flexner submitted to The Carnegie Foundation was titled "Medical Education in the United States and Canada".

Page 22 of the report said:

"the privileges of the medical school can no longer be open to casual strollers from the highway. It is necessary to install a doorkeeper who will, by critical scrutiny, ascertain the fitness of the applicant, a necessity suggested, in the first place, but consideration for the candidate, whose time and talents will serve him better in some other vocation, if he be unfit for this, and in the second, by consideration for a public entitled to protection from those whom the very boldness of modern medical strategy equips with instruments that, tremendously effective for good when rightly used, are all the more terrible for harm if ignorantly or incompetently employed".

All too often, politicians are prepared to enact laws that rob citizens of yet another constitutional freedom under the banner of "public protection". Needless to say, congress swallowed the recommendations of this report hook, line, and sinker. It was decided that the American Medical Association (AMA), would be the "doorkeeper".

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.

Dr. Karreman, The Organic Vet's avatar

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.

Debra Nolasco's avatar

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.

Joy Metcalf's avatar

Another resource (btw, I agree about Dr. Goldstein's book!) is just about any book written by Dr. Christopher Day, a UK veterinary homeopath who not only practiced veterinary homeopathy, but did a great deal of research and published the results.

A current resource is Dr Will Falconer, who has a website (vitalanimal.com) and a Substack (https://vitalanimal.substack.com/).

Debra Nolasco's avatar

Thanks for the info about Dr. Day. I will check him out. I actually subscribe to Dr. Will Falconer & he is a great source of information.

Dr. Karreman, The Organic Vet's avatar

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.

If more medical professionals were told, in polite but firm terms, the truth of their misdirection, the profession might, maybe, start to take a new course. But the guilds prevent this, and we, the owners/patients are gaslighted as idiots. "Medical Science" is not a science in this country, because science always entertains alternative perspectives. If your perspective has the bulk of the empirical data in support, then the alternative view is set aside. But if both have similar, or if the alternative has greater empirical support, the alternative must be considered thoroughly. Alas, Covid taught all of us that the "science" left medicine in the US (and most of the West) a long time ago.

There was a time when doctors recommended that patients smoke cigarettes to help them lose weight, asthma, stress, constipation, headaches, cough, throat irritation, tuberculosis, and as a general tonic. It took until 1964 for this paradigm to be over-turned, and replaced by a much simpler paradigm: smoking cigarettes ain't good. How many people failed to get well under the old guild-approved guidance?

After the Covid fiasco, I am done with these people that my now departed father referred to as "college eductated idiots." I prefer to think of them as "clinical diagnoses bought and paid for by guilde membership and pharmabucks." RFK Jr. has shown us just how low the average American's health has deteriorated under the current guilds. Time for a BIG change.

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

Brandy's avatar

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.

Micheal Nash, Ph. D.'s avatar

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

Große Ohren's avatar

You are correct, very few doctors belong to the AMA. The AMA makes it money from the licensing rights of CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) Codes which "provide a uniform nomenclature for coding medical procedures and services...The AMA holds the copyright to the CPT code set and related derivative products. CPT content is copyrighted, maintained and published by the AMA."

If a doctor wants to bill for a procedure, he or she needs to use this coding system, which requires a license that can only be purchased from the AMA. According to the AMA website, "Any entity using CPT content anywhere worldwide must have a license authorizing the use of CPT code set from the AMA or an authorized distributor." Without this license, providers cannot bill for procedures. (The "approved" reimbursement for various procedures is another interesting example of lack of transparency...)

How the AMA got this copyright, is interesting...supposedly AMA got the copyright for these codes from the government in return for its endorsement of Medicare.

arrotsevni's avatar

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.

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.

Joy Metcalf's avatar

My Naturopath, after earning her ND and practicing for several years, joined a clinical practice with several specialties. She had to earn a Nurse Practitioner degree to work there! After two years of fighting the PTB who wanted her to prescribe more and vaccinate everyone, she left to practice on her own again--as a Naturopath.

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.

Joy Metcalf's avatar

Unfortunately, human beings are the same through all ages. Without a moral compass, humanity is lost, and that moral compass must be held by individuals; it doesn't work as a group.

Yep! More insightful truth from Doc Robert Malone!

Andrew Gase's avatar

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

Micheal Nash, Ph. D.'s avatar

Not really. The new,docs just have to not cross their fingers when taking that oath.

Dr. Robert W. Malone's avatar

problem being that woke cultural buy-in is now an entry criterion for med school

Andrew Gase's avatar

This is definitely true. However I renewed my license with the hope that people like RFK Jr could save us. Sadly lawyers are going to be needed to force us to see the truth. There are pockets of truth in our education system.

VictorDianne Watson's avatar

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.

Stephen Decatur's avatar

All of the negatives that Dr. Malone pointed out about the medical profession equally, apply to the legal profession. The state bar associations are the equivalent of the guilds that Dr. Malone I currently describes.

Guilds: Established as standard bearers and in reality recipients of massive subsidies by nefarious corporations with designs of making obscene profits in their particular disciplines by skirting and reforming the standards.

LSA's avatar

So very insightful, interesting. Going back to the historical apparitions of the same control mechanisms...then called "guilds". And putting them side by side to ostensibly "modern" systems supposedly for "our benefit". Historical memory can also give us insights into other less than "modern" ideas. For example, the current intent to lease us our needs from housing to food, and that we will "be happy". Nothing more, of course, than the resurgence of the system known as "feudal" or "the company town". All in all a broad based statement resounding through the centuries past..."labor for us and we'll give you what you need". Drs. Malone, for your persistence in shining light into darkest corners. Bravo. We shall continue to insure there are many holes in the web with which we are encircled if we be not aware.

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.
