COVID is baring for the world to see the "health vs. income" conflict that has corrupted medicine for decades.

For T1D, there is the case of Richard Bernstein MD - who is a T1D in his 80's still practicing medicine, who brought the first blood-glucose monitor to market. (He was an engineer in his 40's who then went to medical school). If all diabetics used Dr. Bernstein's diet protocol, there would be a drastic reduction in: medication usage, extremity amputation, eye surgery, dialysis, dementia treatment and care.

There's Drs. Gary Fettke and Shawn Baker - two orthopedic surgeons who decided they had enough of amputating diabetics limbs and looked for alternate solutions. They system made sure they paid a hefty financial penalty.

How about Terry Wahls MD, who took the standard route for treating her MS and wound up in a tilt wheelchair. It was through her research, and improved diet that she was able to regain her ability to walk and is conducting research on the impact of healthy and nutrition on MS. Her TED talk so inflamed the system that TED first took her talk down, then put up a disclaimer (sound familiar anybody).

I'm sure there are other examples that can be added to the list.

Point being is get smart about what constitutes health and healthy food and stop being misled by those who only see you as a commodity that is expendable.

Just listened to a talk between David Gornoski and Tucker Goodrich in which Tucker brought up Dr. Wahls. He mentioned that she works for the VA, which is why she HAD to endorse the vaccine (coupled with her research funding).

If you want to listen - Tucker's part begins around minute 24 and ends at 1 hour mark.

Actually not surprise as she still works in the system. Possibly an example of Gell-Mann Amnesia.
