In 25 years of medical practice, I've never heard so many physicians casually mention in conversation how they no longer trust NIH, CDC, or FDA.
If that's not a wake up call, I don't know what is.

I've never seen so many physicians I know scared to speak out. Truth is the only real currency we have.
I think it's fair to say that refusing to provide an organ transplant to unvaccinated patients is an ethical crime.
"Why India did not allow Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine"
1. Indian regulators demanded a local safety & efficacy study.
"Pfizer refused to do a local trial."
2. Pfizer wanted legal immunity from vaccine injury.
India refused.
What are we as physicians if we can't stand up for scientific truth?
I get the feeling that we're in the midst of an awakening.
That people are finally beginning to realize that there is corruption in virtually all corners of gov't & industry.
There's no science without scientific debate. Too bad open discussion has been replaced by censorship.
One of the smartest physicians I know said to me yesterday:
"I feel trust in government and the medical/science establishment is forever shattered for a sizable and ever-growing proportion of the population."
Can't say it better than that.
Almost 2 years into this pandemic & federal public health authorities have yet to embrace a single re-purposed, cheap, early treatment option.
There was a time when I believed that competent people with good intentions were running things.
Times have changed.
I'm hearing from docs from all over who are scared, keeping their heads down, & their mouths shut...
...and they're going to have to live with that when they look at their actions 10 years from now.
Covid has pulled back the curtain on widespread corruption. It's a shock for most docs as to just how deep this corruption flows.
But as someone who's fought corruption on behalf of chronic Lyme patients for 25 yrs, it's no shock.
But it still saddens me to the core.
To the countless scared docs and scientists who won't speak up: What's so hard about telling the truth?
Hey docs,
If now's not the time for truth, then when?
It's almost every day now: Just heard of a previously healthy 4 yr-old who died suddenly.
Media, please wake up & do your job.
I spoke to a physician friend today about a teenager who died from a rapid onset neurologic illness of unknown cause. It was a somber conversation.
I've never seen anything like this in all my years of practice. We're experiencing an unprecedented shift in our societal health.
Just heard from an MD friend, that his good friend, also a physician, went blind in one eye from clots in his retinal arteries and veins.
I'm told that his ophthalmologists all agree as to the most likely cause.
So many healthcare people I know are having "mystery" illnesses.
Insight from conversations I've had lately with local docs in my area: They're angry & fed up. They see the lies & feel betrayed.
I couldn't agree more.
After 2 years of Covid lies I realize that it's not about left or right.
It's about right or wrong.
3 little words: All. Cause. Mortality.
Their astronomical rise tells a story. And it's not a happy one.
I've been a doctor long enough to remember a time when science guided the narrative, not the other way around.
Those were good times.
This won't come as a surprise to many, but...
I know lots of physicians who won't publicly say that early Covid treatments work, but without hesitation, they prescribe them for their friends & family.
You could be a great doctor. You could also be a wonderful human being.
But if you keep your head down due to fear & don't speak up to protect your patients, who are you helping?
In a few years, when 20-20 hindsight renders truth undeniable, too many scientists will be overcome by guilt that they remained silent while the world went bananas.
There's no time like the present.
Physicians used to be independent, critical thinkers. The doctor-patient relationship used to be sacred.
Now too many of us have been reduced to algorithm-using, order-taking, extensions of pharma & gov't--little more than PR reps.
Physician, heal thyself.
Doctors still don't get how traumatizing it can be for patients to not be believed.
I think it's fair to say that refusing to provide an organ transplant to unvaccinated patients is an ethical crime.
Never have I seen so many docs quit their jobs for ethical reasons, or get fired because they refused to tow the line.
Being a doctor used to come with job security. Not anymore.
At least not for those intent on practicing patient-centered medicine.
Hospital systems are buying up medical practices all over. I spoke to a doc recently who sold his practice to one & now works for the hospital.
He said: Now he has no freedom to practice how he wants, has to follow hospital guidelines, & can't speak up or he'll get fired.
Hypocritical oath--
I have a patient who fully recovered from Covid, has antibodies, & was refused entry into a doctor's office.
Troubling from human rights/healthcare equity standpoints, but also because it displays rabid ignorance on the part of the doctor & medical staff.
There was a time when I believed that competent people with good intentions were running things.
Times have changed.
We're in the midst of perhaps the greatest miscarriage of medical justice in the history of medicine.
The nearly complete erosion of trust in our healthcare system couldn't be more well-deserved.
A breast cancer specialist recently told his patient during her follow up visit that diagnoses of breast cancer are skyrocketing.
Something has been very wrong for a while. And it's getting worse.
Doctors still don't get how traumatizing it can be for patients to not be believed.
Why is it that I'm seeing young adults I know getting sudden, severe neurologic diseases?
Not sure if this is part of a disturbing trend, or I just happen to have some unlucky people in my inner circle.
I have a patient whose primary care doc refused to see her because she's unvaccinated.
I remember a time when compassion, ethics, & science were cornerstones of medicine.
A few more friends of friends in their 40's to early 50's died suddenly in the past 2 weeks. It's pretty much a regular thing now.
Reaping what's been sowed.
Doctors have one job. One. Protecting our patients.
How can we do this if science is censored?
This probably won't surprise anyone, but it has to be said--I've now heard the same thing from at least 10 different ultrasound technicians:
They're seeing clots. Lots of clots.
"...virus contains tiny chunk of DNA that matches sequence patented by Moderna THREE YEARS before pandemic..."
"...one in 3 trillion chance Covid developed the code naturally..."
Yet there have been no hearings. No repercussions. Just an ethical vacuum.
Doctors have one job. One.
Protecting patients--How can we do this if science is censored?
The practice of medicine has withered. I'm now embarrassed by what I see almost every day.
And the major medical societies have devolved to becoming servants of pharma just like mainstream media.
How many have died due to anti-science propaganda against early treatments for Covid? It's a huge crime that likely won't ever see justice.
I imagine a few hundred years from now, sociologists will look back at how messed up we were as a species that we allowed this to happen.
Cheap, effective outpatient Covid treatments are ridiculed. The well-documented superior protection of Covid natural immunity is ignored.
This is anti-science.
There are many tools against Covid, but only the ones that make billions for a select few companies are embraced.
If there is a Santa, I'd ask him to end gain of function research and start Nuremberg trials for those responsible for this genocide.
Common Covid mistake:
Waiting 3 days to get pcr, then 1.5 days for results. Sees doc at 5 days in.
Better way:
Home testing at 1st symptom, repeat every 12 hours x 4.
Early treatments: Monoclonals, fluvoxamine, ivermectin, anti-androgens, vit D, zinc, & many others save lives.
Replying to
Over 25 RCT's supporting ivermectin & and it's on the prohibited list.
Yet one optimistic press release about molnupiravir, without a single peer-reviewed RCT yet, puts it on the fast-track for EUA.
And FDA wonders why the public has lost faith in them.
Docs are taught in med school that 90% of the info we need to make medical decisions comes from listening to patients.
Somehow that's been replaced with an over-reliance on lab tests & medical guidelines shoving square pegs into round holes.
Don't stray from the simple wisdom.
First they lied.
Then they lied about lying.
And then they lied some more.
This is why I have trust issues with media, gov’t, & pharma.
Replying to
I think that denial of early treatment options constitutes one the biggest crimes of our time.
When someone has cancer, the community rallies. People run 10K's to raise money, bring food, & offer to babysit.
When someone has ME/CFS, Lyme+, or another marginalized chronic condition, they're told to think positively & get a hobby.
This. Has. To. Change.

What do you get when you mix sociopathy, gain of function research, & greed?
I think you know...
Now, 2 years later, much of what had been labeled "misinformation"--from Covid to politics--has turned out to be true.
Those enforcing censorship are not the arbiters of truth--They need to be stripped of their capacity to prevent free speech.
Happy Saturday~
Omicron outbreaks take about 4-6 weeks to run their natural course. Yet local politicians are trying to take credit for its decline.
It's not a pressed white lab coat & a tie that makes a good doctor.
It's empathy. It's humility. It's compassion.
I interviewed the head of a major Long Covid academic center when we were writing the Covid chapter for Chronic.
She said Long Covid was psychosomatic. I controlled my visceral reaction.
I said, "What if you're wrong?" She said, "I'm not."
The danger of deferring to experts.
In a recent visit, a patient was upset that so many of what the news had called conspiracy theories have since turned out to be true.
Yep.
The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.
Monkeypox found in air samples. CDC not helping anyone by minimizing this.
"three of four air samples collected during a bed linen change in one patient’s room were positive"
Long Covid is likely due to a combo of persistent viral infection, endothelial damage, & reactivation of other common infections.
To think of it only as a post-infectious syndrome that we'll never solve & whose symptoms we should just treat, I think, is harmful--Treat the cause.
I'm hearing a lot about clotted placentas. This can't be good.
Nitric oxide nasal spray:
"administered in high-risk adult COVID-19 patients in India reduced viral load by 94 per cent within 24 hours and 99 per cent in 48 hours"
tribuneindia.com/news/health/na
It amazes me how so many healthcare providers have so quickly adapted to parroting the new normal.
I would argue that it's not normal for young adults to be getting heart attacks & strokes.
And it's not normal for all-cause-mortality to be at horrifyingly high levels.
As the year is winding down, I'm reflecting on how immeasurably better the world would have been if Fauci was never in charge.
Open letter to my colleagues-
Dear Dr:
If you've ever seen a chronic illness patient who you've treated disrespectfully because you couldn't figure out the cause of illness, please take your head out of your ass before you see the next one.
Sincerely,
Steven Phillips, MD
Dear Docs,
Think twice before ignoring the next chronic illness patient who is clinging to life & sanity--Almost all my patients today had medical-PTSD.
Before sneering at the next one, remember--It could just as easily be you, or someone you love.
Rule #1--Listen to them.
Just heard--Nurse forced to work with Covid after 5 day quarantine, but still symptomatic & rapid antigen+.
Hospital admins: "Testing not part of the guidelines."
MD/nursing shortage after firing healthy MD's/nurses with natural immunity, & now this.
This is why you fail.
"Turmeric Root and Its Bioactive Ingredient Curcumin Effectively Neutralize SARS-CoV-2 In Vitro"
Anti-inflammatory
Anti-dementia
And now--Anti-SARS-CoV2
The spice that keeps on giving.
Twitter would be a much safer & truthful place if it weren't so full of paid pharma shills.
BS spread by some docs would be laughable if it weren't so dangerous.
A good place to start would be for Twitter to make docs on here disclose all sources of funding. RT if you agree.
We had it all. Amazing scientists. Great data. We could have saved our species from needless death & chronic illness.
We just needed freedom of scientific speech.
Instead, vile & corrupt gov't/pharma/tech/media entanglements imposed a truth embargo.
To the misery of us all.
"The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world" - Professor Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman, World Economic Forum.
Ah...now the global anti-science Covid policies are starting to make sense. Chilling.
The Covid pandemic response has been the greatest public health policy failure of all time.
Happy Monday.
I used to wonder about how it must be to live in a country without free speech.
Where corrupt leaders were unfailingly praised by a fawning, cringeworthy media.
Where anyone speaking truth to power was attacked.
So. About that.
Don't have to wonder anymore.
Covid health policies have been like an epidemiologic poison. The antidote is the truth.
Spoke to a beloved, highly-respected by his peers, 100% mainstream, neurologist:
He said, "Ever hear of a book called The Real Anthony Fauci?"
Me: "Um, yes."
Him: "I'm reading it now, incredibly well-documented. It's really something."
I agree. It really is.
Chronic illness patients often get misdiagnosed with psychiatric conditions without justification.
Anxiety, hypochondriasis, depression, somatization disorder, Munchausen's, etc.
Misdiagnosis with a fabricated psychiatric condition can cause a very real one: PTSD.
I think it's fair to say that refusing to provide an organ transplant to unvaccinated patients is an ethical crime.
They had over a yr to get enough monoclonals for all of us. Fail.
They dismissed & vilified cheap, effective early treatments. Fail.
One fatal error after another. One foul lie after another.
I'm not a political guy, but I really can't wait to vote in the next elections.
Prisoner isolation is time-limited because it's considered torture.
But not Covid patients--Isolated from families for weeks, only to die alone. We couldn't visit my Dad in his nursing home for over a year.
Society can be judged on how it treats its most vulnerable. We failed.

2021--The year massive harm was inflicted, all under the guise of "It's for your own good."
I tried to order mab's for a patient today.
The woman said, "We're all out--And I mean completely out." I was told to call back on Monday & hope that a shipment comes in.
The fed gov't's failures have been epic. They are the stuff of legend. It's not a tweet--It's another book.
Science has shifted away from inconvenient truths. Instead, many choose to conform to a manufactured consensus, eyes shut against questioning the narrative.
Makes me want to open a pizza shop.
It was a sad day in 1997 that FDA allowed pharma to directly advertise to consumers with TV commercials.
Media has been in pharma's pocket ever since.
Went to the White House webpage to confirm this isn't a joke. Here's the link:

Divisive, anti-science rhetoric. Aspiring to create a 2 class society, blaming others for their failings.
Their policies have been disgraceful by every metric. Vote them out.
2021 was a dark year for medical ethics.
That studies are not being published en masse exposing the breaches;
That scientific & gov't regulatory agencies supported a global experiment without informed consent & are not being investigated;
It shows the enormity of the problem.

Just heard it again from another medical practice, this is about the 5th: They're seeing an unprecedented increase in various cancers.
I'm not seeing it in my practice. Maybe because lots of meds we use also happen to have significant anti-cancer activity as a side benefit.
FDA rejects Covid emergency use authorization for cheap, generic fluvoxamine despite 2 RCT's demonstrating efficacy.
Drugs with minimal efficacy & high toxicity received EUA's: Remdesivir & Molnupiravir.
But safe & cheap doesn't appear good enough.
My Mom's 89. My stepfather is 90.
We're all doing Covid rapid antigen tests just before getting together for Thanksgiving--Regardless of vaccine status--As anyone can spread Covid.
SARS Cov2 impacts immune function.
Lyme & bartonella have shockingly high rates of asymptomatic infection in the general population--Both can become symptomatic after Covid hits the immune system.
Time to take this major player in Long Covid seriously.
Over 20 years ago, a world-renowned researcher told me that I couldn't publicize research proving that Lyme was a chronic infection, that the scientific community wasn't ready for it.
I remember thinking, "How did this person ever become world-renowned?"
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.

Please ask her how she had come to the scientific conclusion that "vaccinated people cannot transmit the virus," when the monkey trials didn't show sterilization.
Does CDC plan to compensate the public for reckless errors costing lives?
All her errors won't fit into a tweet.
I just mentioned ivermectin's usefulness in Covid to an old friend & he was shocked. He's not heard of it from American news.
Ivermectin--It should be screamed from every rooftop. Instead, silence from American media.
Many lives can still be saved.
4 mos ago, my mom & stepfather, 90 & 91, both vaxxed, got seriously ill from Covid. Primary care doc didn't offer any early treatment options. None.
They needed intensive treatment to stay, not only out of the hospital, but alive.
2+ yrs into this & most docs have no clue.
