 I can aim 840 here. So so many interesting stories in the news that I just want to hit So number one the the porn site only fans is now banned porn so I find it interesting that The news business and The porn business both declined at the same time. So the news business it never really Was able to make a living based on news All right, so the news business depended upon dominating Classifieds and certain forms of advertising and wrapping just a whole bunch of You know diverse Forms of information around the advertising. So that's what created the news business as a business and And then porn it was destroyed by the rise of all the free Tube sites so people could get everything they wanted just from Going online. They no longer had to pay pay for anything. So news as a business and pornography as a business essentially destroyed and Now only fans has banned porn Which is kind of weird because it's a porn website. So why is only fans? Banned porn. Well, it has a lot of applications to the dissident right. So Your ability to monetize your content as a dissident right video creator Largely depends upon the approval of credit card companies and credit card companies don't want to be associated with the porn industry so why Have credit card companies suddenly taken a dramatic averse reaction to the pornography industry It's because of an article in the New York Times by Nicholas Kristoff pointing out how much underage Pornography was flowing through the porn tube sites and how much rape and illegal Pornography was just flowing through the tube sites that there was a lack lack of basic authentication and Documentation of age and identity verification making sure that everybody consented to the Content because there was a lot of content that was being uploaded to the tube sites Featuring people who had not consented and Nicholas Kristoff presented this in the most, you know dramatic ways possible and Just by doing that the children of Pornhub All right, these two articles why do we let corporations profit from rape videos and then the children of Pornhub? All right, so the children of Pornhub came out December 4 2020 This is why This is why credit card companies don't want to be associated with With with pornography like why do we let corporations profit from rape videos? Right, so as soon as you have the prestige media like the New York Times coming out with articles like this then credit card companies and You know big corporations gonna want to have nothing to do with this kind of behavior So too with many people on the distant right They're able to flourish For a while until the prestige news media got a hold of them now dug through their content This is what's happening to Larry Elder now. He's running for governor of California And he has an ex fiancee who's come out said that when he was high on marijuana. He pointed a gun at her So the prestige media post an explosive story like Why do we let companies profit from rape videos and then suddenly credit card company said we want nothing to do with this They've essentially throttled the pornography industry online and so you have an A porn website like only fans which is now now banning porn and Times of London points out that now the BBC points out that there's been a significant a bunch of significant failures in only fans Platform moderation so only fans was allowing All sorts of illegal behavior minors were illegally selling and appearing in sexually explicit videos on only fans There were Videos of sexual trafficking and exploitation There were prostitution services advertisers bestiality incest All right, this is pouring across only fans and so credit card companies want nothing to do with that so just like the alt-right was considered just Now a bunch of merry pranksters until Charlottesville and after Charlottesville the prestige media got a hold of the alternative right and dug up stuff that looks really awful to your average person and then Payment processes like credit card companies and paypal It's like no we can't have anything to do with the alt-right or anyone saying anything alt-right adjacent We just have to shut it down so it seems to me what's going on with only fans right now and The considerable restriction of the content that they're going to be able to monetize is just shrunk like this so The internet is no longer the wild wild wild West I mean I should know I was one of the earliest bloggers, so I was blogging for a living setting in about 1997 I Eventually got sued about five times for libel so the wild wild West days of the internet are behind us society will be increasingly bureaucratized and regulated and You're not gonna be able to get away with the type of expression that we were able to get away with in the past So and this is inevitable Absolutely inevitable. I don't think there's Any way around it Okay, there's an article in the New York Times that you covert skeptics vaccine skeptics are gonna love and I am big believer in Vaccines for covert, but this article has things that That everyone can love right you're you're a skeptic you can love this article. I'm a believer in vaccines I can appreciate this article. So Israel was considered the model for Beating covered now it faces this whole new surge of infection So Israel is one of the most vaccinated societies in the world And it now has one of the highest infection rates in the world Which the New York Times says raises questions about the vaccines efficacy now. I don't think that's fair YouTube. I don't think the New York Times Presentation of this is fair because generally speaking those who are getting hospitalized and dying in Israel and not fully vaccinated but Let's go back to the spring so last spring we had Israel's In a swift vaccination campaign. It was seen as a global model Coronavirus infections plummeted an electronic pass allowed the vaccinated to attend indoor concerts Sporting events distancing rules social distancing rules mask mandates were eliminated So Israel seemed to offer the world a hopeful glimpse of the way out of the pandemic Well, no longer. So now we have a fourth wave of infections Approaching the levels of Israel's worst days of the pandemic last winter So the daily rate of confirmed new virus cases is more than doubled. So vaccines remember they provide internal immunity against the most severe consequences of the The COVID virus, but they don't provide mucosal immunity. So you can still get the virus You may be symptom-free or have relatively, you know, low-level symptoms like the sniffles But generally speaking you take the vaccine. You're not going to end up in hospitals So but Israel one of the world's most vaccinated societies has reinstated restrictions on public gatherings commercial and entertainment venues And the government is considering a new lockdown So how did Israel's pandemic response? shift from shining example to cautionary tale Because Israel's new prime minister Naftali Bennett. He staked a claim for leadership in part on his manifesto how to beat a pandemic So there are some experts according to New York Times who fear that Israel's high rate of infections among early vaccine recipients May indicate a waning of the vaccine's protections over time Which is a finding that contributed to a US decision Wednesday to begin offering booster shots to Americans starting next month so about eight months after you got vaccinated you're gonna be have to Get booster shots So terrific article here in the New York Times. I'll post a link in the video description So I think the Alex Berenson's of the world will appreciate this article If Israel was supposed to be the role model not so much So the vaccine seems to be less effective at preventing infection with the highly contagious Delta variant says the New York Times This is not me now the Delta variants the primary version of the virus in Israel and The first cohort to be vaccinated in Israel was an order group whose immune systems may have been weaker to begin with Now in June Israelis were convinced that the worst of the pandemic was over Americans thought the same thing and they abandoned social distancing and other precautions and Everyone just wanted to put the previous year and a half behind them so the paradigm in June was Israel's the most vaccinated country in the world Vaccinated people rarely become infected even more rarely do they become severely ill and there were just a few precautions in place the populations now very close to herd immunity and That was a perception in June Now that was true for the original virus But it does not necessarily hold true for future variants coupled with waning immunity So the vast majority of Israel's order population received two doses of the Pfizer vaccine by the end of February So 78% of the Israeli population 12 an order of fully vaccinated Now the vaccine still believed to prevent severe illness and those who become infected But some Israeli data suggest Suggest the possibility of an increased risk of severe disease among those who received early vaccinations So the number of COVID related deaths in Israel has climbed in the past month as the infection rate has increased So the Delta variant is taken over in Israel and there about a million eligible Israelis who have opted not to get vaccinated and There's growing evidence of waning immunity from the vaccines particularly among the elderly who are vaccinated first so According to Israel's Ministry of Health in late July the Pfizer shot was just 39% effective Against Preventing infection compared with 95% from January to early April But in both periods the vaccine was more than 90% effective in preventing severe disease So there were many days of zero COVID deaths in Israel in June, but In August at least 230 Israelis have died of COVID And this is not primarily happening among Israel's crowded less vaccinated ultra orthodox communities Yes, Robert. I think you did mention these stats So Israel is now in a fourth significant wave of COVID And uh, Israelis are still in routine mode. They feel that look we're vaccinated It's hard to make the switch in public discourse to say listen. We're in a catastrophe Yeah, it just means you need to take the booster shot twice a year now forever Yeah, the ultra orthodox also the heredium have a younger demographic profile So Israel is now pinning its hopes on booster shots So Israeli researchers say there's preliminary signs that new infections among auto vaccinated people have begun to drop A booster shot of the Pfizer vaccine Apparently provides 86 effectiveness against infection and people aged over 60 Within a week of receiving the third dose Most Palestinians in the west bank and Gaza remain unvaccinated so professor Davidovich Israeli public health expert he got a third shot a booster shot He's convinced the necessity of a multi-layered strategy including mask wearing Limiting access to public venues to the vaccinated or those who've recovered from the virus And strengthening the healthcare system. So the vaccinations were supposed to solve everything Now understand that the vaccines are not enough That's the discouraging word from Israel So there's the new book out DSM Review the meanings of madness So books quite actually DSM a history of psychiatry's a bible It's by Alan v Horwitz And he is a sociologist Of medicine Of you know that medicine had sociologists, but he seems quite intriguing So book review in the wall street journal this week On the DSM the diagnostic and statistical manual So what is meant by mental illness? There if we have a mental illness crisis that means more work for people Like psychiatrists, right? So psychiatrists have a financial incentive for hyping a mental illness crisis But does psychiatry deserve such authority? So the DSM is a social creation. It's not Related to biological findings. It's not related to empirical scientific findings. It's a crowd sourced Manual right diagnostic and statistical Manual, what does that stand for DSM? diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders And second argument is we're stuck with it So it's flawed, but that's what we've got So it permeates American society here the widespread casual use of terms like bipolar disorder autism spectrum These almost all psychiatric diagnoses are not based on blood tests All right, and if you think the same person's different psychiatrists They'll get get different diagnoses. So there's very little objectivity to psychiatric diagnosis So insurance companies now pay for mental health care And so they need a standard to decide which disorders merit treatment reimbursement and which don't So they use the DSM So that's why we have DSM not for patients needs but for insurance companies needs so formal diagnosis makes it easier for Insurance companies to decide whether or not they're going to fund treatment So drug companies haven't directly influenced the DSM's contents, but they have contributed to its popularization So in the early 1970s the food drug administration Required pharmaceutical companies to stipulate which specific diagnoses their products treated But remember there's no objective test for these diagnoses. It's highly highly subjective So all these drug ads made household names out of DSM diagnoses But more often than not patients would give themselves these DSM diagnoses before setting foot in a psychiatrist's office So The DSM's approach is vague All right, there's not much scientific basis for the DSM or for psychiatry itself The anti-psychiatry movement has not been adequately refuted So the psychiatrist essentially operating as referees kind of mediating disputes of the nature of various mental disorders But these mental disorders are at root all about financial incentives and changing social norms They're not objective So in the early 1970s you had gay activists who lobbied to remove homosexuality from the DSM So many psychiatrists said we need to frame Homosexuality is a medical condition. That's better than reframing it as a crime So some renegades have argued that modern psychiatry is essentially a form of social control Gay activists won that dispute veterans then lobbied for the inclusion of post traumatic stress disorder PTSD Feminists demanded that the DSM expand its diagnoses to repress trauma Uh transgender activists want gender dis I have defended the inclusion of gender dysphoria So it's to protect access to insurance reimbursement for sex change operations on the basis that they're needed for mental health So psychiatric diagnoses is not really a science much more of an art Except it's an art that is primarily driven by financial incentives So the DSM claims that mental disorders are patterns of observable symptoms Which is how psychiatrists 200 years ago defined them And the DSM says nothing about how these medical disorders developed There's not much underlying science to DSM diagnoses or psychiatric diagnoses So an unhealthy mental or behavioral pattern to qualify as a psychiatric disorder Can't be according to DSM an expected reaction to adversity So if your heart broken over being dumped Can't be a culturally expected practice such as hearing voices in a religious ceremony or a form of social deviance such as criminality So many DSM classifications do fall under these categories. Therefore, they are not legitimate mental disorders So many quote unquote mental disorders DSM diagnoses emerge from uncertainty Factionalism intense political conflicts economic considerations and other interests So this bloke has also written a terrific book co-authored it called diagnosis therapy and evidence conundrums in American medicine so Our quality of life and our length of life have actually very little to do with the medical care that we get Let me scan through the chat worst-case scenario for covid everyone catches this all people die social security costs dropped tougher people escape through What happened to the official luke forward live stream show? Uh, I it just seems like too much bother It's just easier just to set up my phone And just talk to you about something that's on my mind just something You know more informal just get in get in and get out I'm not playing other videos. I'm just just talking to you heart to heart, bro. Heart to heart Yeah, we're stuck with the DSM some fraction of the population is going to develop schizophrenia Not much we can do for them Josh Randall says his serotonin levels are low or just keep watching the stream josh And you'll experience your serotonin level steadily rise Yeah, you'll be fine josh once you go and sit on the bike do the elliptical get the blood flowing you'll feel better Some mental illness might be nothing more than demonic possession says robert Okay, this is a terrific book diagnosis therapy and evidence in medicine so americans spend more On on medical care than any other country in the world We spend about seven thousand dollars per person per year on medical care And it has very little to do with either the quality of our life or the length of our life So why are we spending seven thousand dollars a year? Something that has very little how many key powers do I have? I don't know a dozen So americans tend to believe That their health care system is the best in the world elliott black you're going to love that article on COVID-19 in israel Right, you're going to love that article that I referenced earlier and it's linked in the video description So americans tend to believe they have the best health care system in the world in many ways That's true like most medical advancements are done in in the united states so Partybot says I hope this is a temporary break and we get back to the ultra high Serotonin inducing official look forward live stream I know we have returned when I hear that glorious introduction music return to tradition bro Okay, so for most Life spans actually haven't changed that much in in the past 2,000 years So if you made it to to age 30 1,000 years ago 2,000 years ago 3,000 years ago You're about as likely to hit age 60 or 70 as we are today So the main difference in lifespan is that people have stopped dying in childbirth and in infancy All right, that's where almost all advancements for Life expectancy have come so for most of human history Death was associated with infectious diseases that took their heaviest toll among infants and children That's where That's where the change came Whoops Okay, here we go I'll throw down the link to this New York Times article All right, it's not because we got this amazing medical care, right Most causes of death were among infants and children due to infectious diseases But in the late 19th century for reasons We don't fully understand infectious diseases begin to decline as the major causes of mortality And so what happens then? So mr. White male thinks anti-aging tech will be revolutionary. It may be it may not be Okay, medical care has not really done much for either the quality of our life or the length of our life Very minor Yeah plumbers and engineers have saved farm and garbage men have saved far more lives than doctors So With this reduction in mortality among infants and children This allowed more people to reach adulthood and live longer. So Because of this now Long duration illnesses noted notably cardiovascular renal diseases. So heart diseases and various neoplasms So what the hell is a neoplasm? Neoplasm is an abnormal massive tissue that forms when cells grow and divide more than they should. Okay talking cancer, right? So heart disease and cancer, right? these are Diseases associated with advancing age Right long duration illnesses have become more prominent because people are not dying young So the longer people live the greater the risk of becoming ill or dying from heart disease or cancer So we've had this explosion in long duration and chronic disease Because more and more people are enjoying greater longevity Now this decline in mortality from infectious disease. It preceded antibiotic drug therapy But the introduction of antibiotic drug therapy after world war two reshape medical practice and reshape public perceptions All right, so if infectious diseases could be conquered with antibiotic drugs Now why could not long duration diseases such as cancer and heart heart disease also be eliminated by new medical therapies? So americans have come to believe that the medical care system could play a crucial role in conquering disease and extending longevity and Not just the length of life, but the quality of life But underneath the surface that medical care is going to provide us with higher quality life There's great unease because we're spending more than seven thousand dollars a year all right So in 1970 we were spending 75 billion a year on health care in 2006 it risen to 2.1 trillion So health care as a percentage of the gross domestic product rose from seven percent to 16 percent Per capita expenditures rose from 356 dollars a year. That's what we were spending in 1970 per capita 356 dollars a year on health care To 2006 we were spending seven thousand dollars a year per capita public funding of health expenditures increased from 38 percent to 46 percent between 1970 and 2006 So we've got the increasing bureaucratization of the medical care industry Which is diminished trust between patient and physician We have increasing concern that doctors are not acting in our best interests So doctors we have much less faith in doctors and public health authorities now And prior to the 1960s. So prior to the 1960s, we trusted our bodies. Whoa party bots Like a bridge over troubled water. I will lay me down So party bots you want the traditional show to return with the music and the fancy videos and the guests Well, thank you so much So seven thousand a year this is what we're spending in 2006. So it's probably like nine thousand dollars a year per capita Wow, thank you party bots. I'll have to take that under prayerful consideration Satnam to you Right. So we have much more skepticism of doctors hospitals public health authorities since the 1960s We see that insurance companies are shaping treatment protocols And faith in all these new medical therapies is tempted by all these findings that question the efficacy Of all these new medical treatments. So a whole bunch of widely used medical treatments There's no evidence that they're effective We also are increasingly distrustful of the pharmaceutical industry Because we realize that the harmful side effects of many drugs have been hidden That the efficacy of many widely used drugs is greatly greatly exaggerated. So that their real efficacy is only slightly above placebo level If that And we're concerned that the financial relationships between doctors pharmaceutical companies Prejudicing doctors so that they prescribe things that are not in our interest but are in the doctor's financial interests And then we've got, you know, all these enhanced suicidal tendencies from people going on psych psychiatric medication So we've had a considerable diminishing of Our trust in the medical profession So the united states spends twice as much on health care Compared to the median of industrialized nations obesity smoking Rates much higher in the united states than in 10 european nations in terms of equity In health care the united states ranks at the bottom among industrialized nations now Access to health care and how much you use health care has virtually nothing to do with your length or quality of life So some parts of the country have much more access to health care than other parts And there's no corresponding relationship between having health care and having a long and healthy life Now americans were known as about the tallest people in the world between the middle of the 18th century To about the middle of the 20th century Now we are way behind many european nations. So that's just one indicator of our poor rates of health I think part of that I have to do with this genetic trends. Another part may have to do with immigration Of people who don't tend to grow particularly tall And perhaps european welfare states with universal safety nets are able to provide a higher biological standard of living to their children and youth Than the free market u.s economy So there was a study that attempted to measure the quality of medical care in 12 cities in in america And it tried to determine the degree to which recommended medical care procedures You know led to longer and improved quality of life and the results were terrible. So americans On average receive about half the number of recommended medical care procedures So the gap between what we know works and what is actually done is substantial And it's not at all clear that prevailing standards of care are efficacious So the evidence in support of many widely used therapies such as drugs for Decreased bone density or statins for cholesterol reduction or surgery for back pain and various surgical procedures to treat chd But is chd So medical abbreviation mean congenital heart defects. All right these widely used therapies There's no evidence that they're that they work I mean they work to increase physician's income All right, there's no evidence that statins Work for your health. There's no evidence that surgery for back pain is generally effective so when hospitals implemented american college of cardiology Guidelines for treating acute myocardial infarctions are found that the adoption of such guidelines Had no effect on outcomes. All right So various medical doctors like the american college of cardiology They have guidelines on how to treat certain things when more hospitals adopt these these guidelines there's no benefit in health outcomes All right, all sorts of technique technological innovations in health care that have come along in the last 40 years For many of them there's very little evidence that they actually benefit anyone So computer tomography ct angiography no evidence that it benefits That medicare wanted to stop funding it But the society of cardiovascular computer tomography as an organization of 4700 doctors The american college of radiology and the american college of cardiology Launched a lobbying campaign that succeeded in forcing medicare to keep paying for procedures that That yield no benefit all right, so many of the procedures that are Given to us recommended to us and are paid for by medicare There's no benefit Except to the doctors who get to line their pockets who are effective lobbyists Is there's no evidence that ct and miri? scans right for many conditions improve health outcomes All right, meniscal findings on knee mri's have no clinical relevance Arthroscopic surgery generally speaking provides no benefit And then we've got dramatic regional differences in medical therapy and expenditures So medical medicare patients living in rhod Island. They undergo knee replacements At a rate of five in 1,000 people in Nebraska the rate is double So Female medicare enrollees who are diagnosed with breast cancer in South Dakota seven times the chance of undergoing a mastectomy As compared with vermont But the health outcomes are the same Right, so you have regions where there's dramatic amounts of health care and health expenditures and medical therapies extended But life outcomes and health outcomes are unchanged So the evidence suggests that differences in medical spending Don't make much of a difference for health outcomes So you've got some areas where you've got more hospitals more doctors more labs more subspecialists Given geographical area. So the more you've got of them the more they are used, but there's no difference in health outcome Yeah, superior diagnosis Will help in some In some things, but most of what ails us Will either go away on its own or it can't be fixed right So we've been propagandized that the american medical Professions always coming up with these new and innovative and important therapies But most of what ails us either cannot be fixed or or go away on its own So there are some regions that do Visually more hip and knee replacements for chronic arthritis and surgery and for lower back pain But Those regions that do a lot more surgery hip replacements knee replacements There's no benefit in health outcomes so About a quarter of adults report lower back pain about 15 percent report neck pain And between 1997 2005 there's a substantial increase in rates of Imaging injections use of opiates and surgery Right, so total expenditures for these conditions Increased 65 percent All right, 86 billion dollars were spent Very little difference in health outcomes. There's no evidence that people with these conditions reported a corresponding improvement in their health status So we had inter vertebral fusion cages introduced in 1996. We had lumbar fusion rates accelerate but uh No evidence that people are better off. We've had all sorts of dyschectomy and laminectomies As a result of these spinal fusions So you get one back surgery tends to lead to another back surgery So there are parts of the country with high rates of surgery And other parts of the country with low rates of surgery All right for the same the same surgeries. All right but Very little difference in health outcomes Caesareans so some parts of the country perform a lot of caesareans other parts very few Uh, there's no evidence for most caesareans that these these are beneficial But the doctors make money and the hospitals make money from them Historectomies and uvorectomies What's the the health outcome? All right, you have a lower life expectancy If you want to go these procedures and an awful lot of women report, uh You know complete cessation of sex drive after these procedures But doctors keep wanting to do them because doctors get to line their pockets But uh health outcomes for patients not so much All right, we've got this rhetoric Of you know medical science right it's overwhelmingly awesome But uh, we don't have evidence that this is true We've got a proliferation of new diagnoses But remember doctors Have have financial incentives just like you or I so if doctors Psychiatrists can tell us we've got a mental health crisis. They can come up with new syndromes like post traumatic stress disorder All right, they can make money from that so For many of these new diagnosis, there's very little attention paid To the nature and quality of supporting evidence Or for the methods employed to measure the validity of these new Therapies So we have widely used therapies And health recommendations that tend to be taken at face value By a receptive public but completely unaware of the shaky foundation upon which they rest And upon the adverse consequences that follow from these innovative medical therapies What about outcomes for sexual reassignment surgery? Not so awesome Upbell says the ideal show would have Jean Francois got a repeat on one x one time a month wall and on Dennis Dale on Redbar Ramsey poor Richard Spencer Josh says if I get a terminal diagnosis, I'm jumping into an active volcano screwed the medical field You're saying that magnets aren't going to fix my depression So this is a fascinating book diagnosis therapy and evidence in medicine It's the same author who wrote the new book on the the dsm So the whole role of medicine has changed So it used to be historically the role of medicine was to treat a sick person But until 1930 you were better off Not going to a doctor generally speaking All right, it was until about 1930 the people who went to a doctor were better off than those who didn't go to a doctor All right, so until about 1930 medical doctors did about as much harm if not more harm than good So historically we thought of doctors that that that we have doctors to treat the sick person So before 1940 the major function of medicine was to diagnose disease But the therapies that they had their disposal prior to 1940 were hardly impressive So with the exception of a very limited number of medications such as Dydox Degirxin D-I-G-O-X-I-N Thyroxin insulin Immunization for a small number of infectious diseases and a few surgical procedures Prior to 1940 doctors had few effective means of coping with many infections heart diseases cancer and many long duration illnesses so Useful medications for mental illnesses did not emerge until the 1950s with things like Oh, what's the gold standard for evening you out? I'm blanking. I was on it That makes you fat I'm blanking It came out of Australia Yeah, Luke needs a ricola candies lithium lithium's the gold standard lithium is wonderful all right so doctors also weren't Thinking about preventing disease So health was simply the absence of disease and the role of doctors prior to 1940 was simply to treat and care for the sick But in the last half of the 20th century, we've had a dramatic perceptual transformation so the world health organization promulgated in 1946 that health is a state of complete physical mental and social well-being It's not merely the absence of disease So prior to this health was just considered to be the absence of disease So this new definition Created new roles for the medical profession and new ways the medical profession to make money So now the care and treatment of the sick. It's only a part of the doctor's responsibility Now the doctor had the added Function of trying to make people healthy happy and socially well adjusted So health was now considered normal physical mental social health was considered that which is normal and sickness disease and distress and considered abnormal And they can they are considered to result from a variety of external Factors wasn't that it was internal to us to get sick. No, this is coming from the outside So the role of medicine became To persuade people to engage in healthy behaviors and to avoid the consequences of inappropriate behaviors behaviors like unprotected Backdoor sex for resulting disease and death So We now had medicine. It's got the knowledge to create a disease-free society So treatment care cure prevention were only part of the new face of medicine We now had the claim that doctors by employing employing the findings and insights of science Now have the power to improve on nature We now have novel interventions to enhance brain functioning To increase stature to arrest aging to increase longevity To alleviate anxiety to create desirable character traits to maintain high levels of sexual activity and to reshape our bodies All right, this is the new direction for medicine after 1946 The traditionally acceptable levels of blood pressure cholesterol glucose revised sharply downward to increase the population who's at risk and hence elevate The rationale for medical intervention for more and more of the population so doctors can make money and pharmaceutical companies can make money So we had this coalition of scientists doctors Pharmaceutical companies promoting a variety of interventions including drugs and surgery They were presumably enhanced both the physical and the mental well-being of people Even those who were presumably healthy So This naive belief that disease can be prevented and conquered and nature can be improved upon It reflects this fundamental conviction that all things are possible. Yes, you can have it all You can you can live to 130 or more Now disease is the enemy of humanity only a war can vanquish it All right, so descriptions of cancer are phrased in terms of war cancer cells do not simply multiply They are invasive. They colonize they metastasize So we get medical treatment framed in military language. We've got a war on cancer. How's that war on cancer going? So chemotherapy is chemical warfare And any healthy cells that are harmed or destroyed that's simply collateral damage, bro All right, the war on cancer we must fight it to the finish The only acceptable outcome is unconditional surrender Mental health means we need to aggressively screen for untreated mental disorders in primary medical care schools and work So we have this faith that disease is somehow unnatural can be prevented and conquered But this depends on a fundamental misunderstanding of the biological world If cancer is the enemy then we are the enemy malignant cells are not aliens who invade our bodies They arise from our own normal cells The biological world of which we are part includes millions of microorganisms some are harmless Some are parasitic some have the potential to cause infection Others play vital symbiotic roles that nourish and maintain life So some microorganisms contribute to soil fertility by converting plant debris into humus others destroy crops others cause disease in humans But other microorganisms that reside in the gastrointestinal tract play constructive and vital roles So efforts to destroy pathogenic microorganisms through drugs are doomed to failure Because these organisms develop resistant properties So have you ever thought about the dramatic complex of interests for doctors between helping an individual and helping society? So to help society you would limit the number of Of drugs that you you prescribe so that diseases don't become drug resistant But help the individual you want to do everything you can to help society You would notify the DMV if an individual is at risk when they're driving but to To be on the side of your patient. You wouldn't notify the DMV And with regard to mental health We now regard these natural psychological emotions such as sadness and fear They've now been diagnosed as mental illness. They're now depressive and anxiety disorders that psychotropic drugs can suppress So threats to health are Inescapable accompaniments to life That disease will change its manifestations according to social circumstances Disease is will be an omnipresent part of the human condition. You cannot get rid of it The belief that disease can be prevented or conquered Is a delusion that medicine cannot cure or even explain the basis of many long-duration illnesses That account for the bulk of mortality so The basis the etiology of the major diseases of our age such as heart disease cancer diabetes mental illness You mean shrouded in mystery these intractable diseases Reflect an extremely complex mixture of nature and nurture Set against the background of aging Which is modified by genes and environment. There are multiple causes And there are probably many different routes to their pathology So this belief that we can conquer disease and create a happy and well-adjusted society Is nonsense So we've got the medical profession the pharmaceutical industry fueling this nonsense because they both benefit by promoting this pursuit of health medical profession because it strengthens its legitimacy its authority its claim on resources Pharmaceutical industry because it enhances sales of its drugs and the media both visual and print contributes to the faith and medical progress by providing breathless coverage of alleged therapeutic breakthroughs with very little evidence behind them and all these Super new ways of preventing disease Now the appearance of the AIDS epidemic contradicts belief that infectious diseases no longer pose a significant threat COVID The COVID pandemic contradicts belief that infectious diseases no longer pose a threat influenza remains a major threat Why because the virus is constantly Undergoing genetic reassortment Now normally the reassortment is between an animal and a human influenza virus But sometimes there is direct transmission of an influenza virus from an animal Or a bird species to humans and the 1918 pandemic is just one example So the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic cured as many as 20 to 40 million people And microorganisms are continually developing new resistance to medication And many medical therapies and drugs come with considerable risks and anesthesia surgery sophisticated diagnostic procedures Have the potential to cause devastating illness So between 5 to 10 percent of the patients admitted to acute care hospitals acquire infections there And this risk is increasing So we have hundreds of thousands of people each year dying from medical malpractice We scan through the chat Ramsay paul is getting edgier Josh Randall's morning regimen double espresso with cream one melted medaffin l 3.5 grams of mushrooms three huge hits Off a pcp dip newport cigarette 30 minutes of meditation and prayer Ramsay paul is edgy house why the u.s. And canada must take in refugees from afghanistan He gets really hot about it Yeah, look up how many people die from doctors not properly washing their hands Way too many Bye. Bye
