Quick comment and more to come when I cross-post your article to my Substack in the next day or so with an essay urged by your words.
Thank you, vulnerably and honourably written as usual with an adagio movement of heart and mind in harmony.
It is encouraging to receive your proposal for a “brave new beginning” for a medical makeover as “a new system…of egalitarian cooperation”.
Yes. I have been trying to cultivate the ground for this growth since 1996 when I began as a recipient of palliative home care lessoned by loss into a consultant to work with doctors and nurses in palliative care in Queensland, Australia.

We must create alternatives to Max Weber’s Iron Cage of Medical Care(lessness).
Holocaust study: the medical cartel is destroying America by Jon Rappoport, Feb 10, 2017
We need to create healing places where suffering persons are equal in power partners not impotent, assembly-line patients.
“It is possible for caregivers, both professional and nonprofessional to learn how to help the sick find peace, hope, and meaning in life regardless of the course of the physical part of the illness. Relationships with patients can become like a partnership with mutual support, respect, and trust.” Making The Patient Your Partner : Communication Skills For Doctors And Other Caregivers by Thomas Gordon and W. Sterling Edwards.
I will tag you when I publish on my Substack off your article.
I look forward to your essays that assay the truth in the lies of the Medical Mafia.
Stay safe and free, you are greatly valued as one of the few upholders of the Hippocratic Oath.
With great sadness I get the impression that those that see the current system as beneficial to their existence and welfare are the very group that are being harmed the most as they cheer for even more or the same. Questioning the belief in this infallible drug centric medical approach seems only to increase their resolve to self harm in the belief that the path they are on is the virtuous one. It is painful to observe as not long ago I too would have had many of the same beliefs.
The alternative approach suggested is a welcome approach and hopefully will become a significant factor going forward.
Sometimes they can be of benefit, such as antibiotics can save lives.
And pain killers may alleviate suffering allowing true healing to take place.
But never the less, they are toxins which also take your bodies ability to heal and slow it down.
Long term use, only encourages habits.
When bodies are given more testosterone artificially for a duration, soon they no longer need to produce their own in the same quantity. A habit develops. Remove the artificial source and later you have a weak natural source and so men soon grow breasts and have shrunk testicles.
These risks are known, but lately seem to be increasingly downplayed.
Toxins, increase inflammation.
Inflammation increases stress.
Stress increases fatigue and irritability.
And so quality of life soon comes second to billings and cash flow in our economy of short term gains at the expense of long term safety.
Yes. When I complete my NP program and obtain licensure, this is what I want to do. Functional medicine where the patient is actually engaged in their own health and decision-making. Where patients are educated about health and empowered to pay close attention to what their own body needs and how if best functions. Start with the foundational pillars of lifestyle medicine (sleep, nutrition/diet, relationships/purpose, movement/exercise) and move onward from that.
I have been very interested in functional medicine for a number of years now.
It grew out of both my struggles with CFS/ME and my former love for functional fitness and peak performance training. I used to be a special operations army medic. A profession that demanded a lot, both physically and mentally with high stakes.
An eclectic combination, but never the less this was how I arrived at the conclusion that there was much more to health and medicine than pills and surgery.
Moving forward, I think naturopaths, osteopathic doctors, integrative medicine and the likes should act or take place of GPs as we know them. Although they must be suitably trained to recognize red flags.
Many could benefit from this type of approach, although there are times where this will not be adequate and so we still will need surgeons and specialists too.
A combined team approach, where health centers, small hospitals create teams. On one end of the scale we have these specialists and surgeons. On the other end we have personal trainers and wellness coaches. Counsellors and hypnotherapists, to help further motivate change of habit. Because let's face it, change can be hard. But often change must be made in order to heal. With the patients consent of course.
I’ve been saying integrative medicine is the way forward for years, the fact the dr’s ignore nutrition and the lymphatic system is a crime.
I have found it interesting that all the ‘spike detox’ products now being touted by the anti-vaxx dr’s are all natural products, a definite sign of the changing focus for the better.
I’ve seen a Substack whose author (I can’t remember who, I read too many) has written of the link of the endocrine disrupters that you mentioned and the transgender craze, it makes sense that these chemicals have wreaked havoc on this generation.
Working in holistic medicine myself I can only wholeheartedly agree that we need a new system and will hopefully see more of it in the near future. However, as much as I would like to put all the blame on physicians who only mask symptoms with Big Pharma patches, there must also be willing patients looking for an easy fix, instead of systemic lifestyle changes. In the end, the drug manufacturers and dealers need willing users….

an excellent observation ... yes, there are ironies abounding! thank you

Just my 2 cents.

Here, I share a poem.
There isn't a pill for every ill.
Or a potion for every commotion.
No single suture stitches every wound.
Or universal remedy - readily consumed.
Health is a habit,
Disease, a diagnosis.
Both play a part in the patients prognosis.
But underpinning much of our suffering
Holding back healing.
Stress, Inflammation, Toxins and Fatigue.
The four pillars of modern metabolic disease.
Tame those woes and harmony flows,
The way nature truly intended it.
wonderfully articulated, thank you!

I suppose, it is hard to remove a toxin with another toxin.
Not impossible, but we have enough toxins in our lives.
From the toilet sprays we inhale.
To the lotions and synthetics on our skin.
The plastics and preservatives in our foods and medicines.
Nature however seems to be a giant pharmacy. If only we spent more time investigating it instead of suppressing it.
I’ve seen a Substack whose author (I can’t remember who, I read too many) has written of the link of the endocrine disrupters that you mentioned and the transgender craze, it makes sense that these chemicals have wreaked havoc on this generation.
And a blender is a very useful instrument for combining beneficial (detox) ingredients that may be less palatable or difficult to chew.
