I know what you are thinking—Dr. Yoho fantasizes he is the George Plimpton of Substack. GP was a journalist who tried out for professional athletic teams and wrote about it. He was a good athlete but not a professional; he was tolerated because of his writing. He also acted in a Western, performed a comedy act at Caesars Palace, and played with the New York Philharmonic.
They used to call conventional docs "regulars" and alternative "irregulars." Allopathic was coined by the homeopaths to distinguish all the others. I don't think it matters anymore, it's just become a useful term signifying very different approaches.
I think much about regular medicine is valuable. Where it went wrong was by becoming a monopoly. In effect, it created a totalitarian system where all others were heretics and to be persecuted and silenced. The DOs assimilated. The chiropractors fought back and remained, but all the others were marginalized.
Just yesterday, I followed the feedback to Naomi Wolf's substack where she offered to write about remedies she was discovering. The outpouring of interest and support was.... well, I am stuck for a word! It's an avalanche! :-)
I was diagnosed w/dry eye about 8 years ago - I could barely see believing something was in my eye but it was just dry. One of my ophthalmologist’s specialties was dry eye. I was put on restasis - an extremely expensive eye drop that I was to use 2x/day for life. When covid came around I added vitamin D 5000 mcg/with K to my daily supplements. Long story short my seasonal allergies were greatly reduced & I no longer have dry eye. I haven’t used restasis in 2 years. My D level was at 95 & when I researched last time it was taken in 2014 it was 42. In the last 2 yrs every time I or someone I know asks for D level to be added to routine blood work tests the drs say “insurance doesn’t cover it”. This is a new response. My last appt I said that’s ok I’ll pay it. The dr/hospital charged $150 for just that single test; insurance adjustment for the test was $25; my portion was $6. So that was a lie that they have the unassuming drs say to patients. I just saw a news story on fox that a man died from vitamin D overdose - pharma is beyond corrupt. Read this:
I would be careful to recommend CD indiscriminately. My digestive track was burned so badly that I wasn’t sure if I will make it. My husband had no issues with the same daily batch of CD treated water prepared according to instructions. This happened over 2 years ago, and I still can’t have a toast or any harder food without chewing it thoroughly. Otherwise it hurts. I can feel the pain after swallowing and it being tossed in my stomach from one side to another. Apparently, this condition is not as rare as it’s presented to be. Please be careful.
Have not finished reading this yet, but about black seed oil—is it supposed to taste like some sort of poison? Perhaps what diesel fuel or kerosene tastes like?
As soon as you mentioned George Plimpton, I thought of the John Wayne movie he was in. I'm old enough that I saw it at a theater, when it was first released.
I think many in the field of medicine have forgotten that above all, do no harm. They want to denigrate "alternative" therapies, but those therapies have often stood the test of a hundred years, or millennia, and needed no recalls. And there is the gem of a quote:
"It matters not whether medicine is old or new,
so long as it brings about a cure.
It matters not whether theories are Eastern or Western,
Of course there is objective reality! We just don't have access to it... all we have is theories about it.
What actually truly happened in Rashomon's forest was the objective reality. What the witnesses said was the theories (views) of limited and fallible human beings.
Saying there is no objective reality throws everything into the waste bin of relativism and cynicism... I hate what it does to the world we inhabit....
I think we have to be careful with supplementation recommendations, every one is different and has different heavy metal/chemical loads in their bodies. Our liver has a big job to clean out toxins every day. When you have toxins floating around it can cause all sorts of health issues. I highly recommend Anthony Williams the medical medium, he has some great advice about supplements too. Be careful of fillers in supplements is one big thing to look out for.
While I have not insight into the George Plimpton effect, I do regarding the use of CD. The purpose of CD is to increase the available oxygen in the body, which helps with healing. However, Antioxidants diminish that effect and should not be taken together. If you are doing CD, discontinue your antioxidants until you finish your 21 day cycle of treatment. Consider alternating 21 day cycles if you are concerned about having enough antioxidants. In the first cycle I completed, I did not know this, and there was very little effect of CD on the problems I was trying to address. I learned about this about 1 week into my second sequence and discontinued all antioxidants. Now 2 weeks later, I am seeing some significant changes to my health. Positive changes. I am hopeful. I am continuing my CD for at least another week to see if things change some more. Thank you!
The elephant is also an analogy for the truth that is an objective reality...the elephant would agree it exists. C.S. Lewis talked about the difference in perspective between looking on a beam of light in a dusty shed, to standing in the beam of light. I haven't thought it though...so don't ask me for answers...but it seems to me that subjective/relative realities existence relies on the presence of one objective reality.
It's interesting following your new path. There may be some things of interest here:
There are a lot of vital B vitamins. I take the Pure Encapsulations complex, but it doesn't have that level of thiamine. Have your read Derrick Lonsdale's writings about it? He's been on that target for many decades. In fact, as a physician who joined a group that specialized in nutrient therapy back in 1982, you can say that he was WAY ahead of the curve. He used to use nutrients when he was a pediatrician at the Cleveland Clinic, much to the annoyance and sometimes anger of colleagues. He has a lot of tales of case studies to tell. He'll be 100 years old in April and he's still writing. You may be interested in reading about the various thiamine types and in particular, lipothiamine. Also, as his co-author (an entire book about thiamine) Chandler Marrs wrote, when you get enough thiamine on board, other deficiencies may show themselves, so it's a good idea to take a B complex or a good multivitamin.
Regarding borax: in light of your using silica water, obviously you have concerns about aluminum. Before I jumped on the Borax train, I wanted to know if it was refined to any aluminum content. I asked at Earth Clinic and received no reply. I asked if Prescribed For Life's USP-NF grade borax had aluminum refined out of it and received no reply. Aluminum is one of the most prevalent substances in the earth's crust, so it stands to reason that it could be in the Death Valley area where borax is mined; I find it odd that some people don't seem to be interested in determining whether or not it's in the box. I did find a water analysis from a Death Valley hot spring and yes, there is aluminum in it.
Incidentally, I make Dr Dennis Crouse's silica water at home (I don't want the plastic from the Fiji bottles). I make it in 5 gallon batches, but it does have to be upscaled in a specific way.
And what the hell, you may as well add another supplement to your list! Also from Dr Crouse, you may want to include some PQQ to go with that CoQ10. You can read about why on this page, which quotes info about how it works from Crouse's first book. Scroll down to “PQQ And CoQ10 To Improve Memory”.
Re: alpha lipoic acid. ALA contains 50% R-lipoic acid and 50% S-lipoic acid. Given that R-lipoic acid has a higher bioavailability, you may just want to buy R-lipoic acid instead of the alpha lipoic acid.
I remember George Plimpton! It's been quite awhile but thanks for the memory Dr. Yoho! We are close in age, but I am no retired physician like yourself, just a retired working guy.
Great interview and essay as usual doc, I always enjoy reading and listening to you.
I was very late to the party at 71 first taking bioidentical hormones, but I am very glad I did, as it eliminated a lot of my health problems, 18 months later.
Kerri Reviera is a very nice lady and knows some health stuff, but not everything despite her doctorate in homeopathy, she merely sounds amatuerish to me. Surprised she did not touch on the early unexpected deaths,and damning injuries from the bioweapon vax and how to treat this widespread growing holocaust such as with EDTA, etc.
I was very surprised at her feeding her autistic kid 120 supplements a day, and I do take such myself , but not near as many! Nutrition is something Rockefeller medicine definitely glosses over with Allopathic docs in school in addition to other vital things.
I am surprised too she did NOT touch on bioidentical hormones as those now on them know the benefits first hand and as you cover in your great book(s).
Yes CD is kryptonite to so many things including Rockefeller medical and a host of other diseases. Time to get back onto CD & MB.
I have just begun taking fenbendazole which is a generic parasitic treatment compared to the much more expensive name brand stuff Kerri is taking to treat my brain fog along with Ivermectin, as an experiment.
I purchase 3 of these supplements including what I just mentioned from another substacker; 2nd Smartest Guy, easily found on substack and always listed for sale at end of each of his posts. His versions are labeled "for animal/pet use only" to circumvent prescription b.s., as these fit for human consumption meds are available at airport vending machines worldwide including in Mexico so I understand.
PS: 2nd Smartest Guy has essay articles on successfully treating cancers and Alzheimers with the aforementioned products. Never mind double blind studies, you know that 99% of prescription meds including vaxxes are NOT TESTED AT ALL FOR SAFETY or efficacy, only for "whats the bottom $$$$$$$$ line.
Read about these and decide for yourself good sir!
You are a national treasure doc, keep on writing, love your style and the subjects!
PS I had a couple back and forth unsavory comments / emails with the "ex-spurt" aircraft engineer 'George' you had on, who is the ONLY one on this side of the propaganda fence trying to "normalize" jet engine chemtrails - like these nefarious for hire sky jocks are merely spraying us with "vitamins" nothing more worse. Beyond Dane Wiginton, there are TONS of photos and essays as well as full articles on the toxic shyte including aluminum, barium and worse they are laying down on us, all over the world nearly everyday since 1990. Grrrr! Liars! Whores like money bags depop advocate Billy Gates who supports geo-engineering among other evil plays...
He never addressed the point that little ol' me made about "do all aircraft stop flying and go on vacation " on rare totally blue sky days with zero checkered chem trails? And "Why does it ALWAYS rain water & chemicals (established) a day or two AFTER the chemtrails are seen laid down"?
Over 220 geo-engineering slick patents issued since the 70s. Nice. Just what we need, eh?
Sorry to disagree with you sir, but in my non important opinion this guy is just another degreed a*sh*le propagandist deceiver ex-SPURT of which there is no shortage in this world.
I don't think that you are offering us another choice over Pharma's Poisons. I do better on supplements than traditional meds. Dr. Cancelled my appointment for a week, so another week of Gallbladder issues, I'm finding many foods I use to oven bake or Air Friy are still too greasy. No more stopping for a burger to bring my BS up if I've been fasting for blood work. I now have pure liquid honey sticks I can carry. Herbs for me are iffy.

Hi - have you ever looked into plasmalogens? They are expensive - but the results looks interesting. https://prodrome.com/pages/plasmalogens
Why would a guy that died on September 25, 2003 need a diagnosis?
