4) This is a quick summary of one big CABG scam:
The Redding Medical Center Scandal
Overview: In 2002, the FBI, along with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the IRS, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Sacramento, raided Redding Medical Center and the offices of two doctors, Dr. Chae Hyun Moon (cardiologist) and Dr. Fidel Realyvasquez Jr. (cardiac surgeon), investigating allegations of unnecessary invasive cardiac procedures, including coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG), heart catheterizations, and valve replacements. The investigation was triggered by concerns from patients and other doctors, with evidence suggesting that up to 25–50% of these procedures may have been medically unnecessary, driven by financial incentives.
Humboldt County Connection: An FBI affidavit by Agent Michael Skeen specifically cited a case involving a man from Eureka (Humboldt County) who underwent an angiogram at RMC that showed no coronary artery disease, yet Dr. Moon recommended a bypass surgery, which another cardiologist deemed unnecessary. This case, among others, highlighted that patients from Humboldt County and other nearby areas were referred to RMC, contributing to the high volume of procedures.
Key Allegations:
Unnecessary Procedures: Dr. Moon and Dr. Realyvasquez were accused of performing or recommending invasive procedures on patients with minimal or no coronary artery disease. For example, patients like Father John Corapi (a Catholic priest) and Shirley McClaren were told they needed urgent bypass surgery despite second opinions indicating no significant disease. McClaren died shortly after her procedure, and her surgery was later deemed unnecessary.
Financial Motives: RMC, owned by Tenet Healthcare Corporation, was highly profitable, earning $93 million in pretax income in 2002, largely due to its cardiac program. Each bypass surgery generated over $300,000, incentivizing high procedure volumes. The hospital also received high “outlier” Medicare payments for complex cases, which raised suspicions of billing fraud.
Volume of Procedures: From May 2000 to May 2001, RMC, a 230-bed hospital, performed 16,000 catheterizations and 923 open-heart surgeries, numbers more typical of a major urban medical center than a rural hospital in a community of ~90,000. Approximately 40% of patients came from outside Redding, including Humboldt County, due to RMC’s aggressive marketing as a top heart center.
Whistleblowers and Investigation:
Father John Corapi: In May 2002, Corapi was told by Dr. Moon that he needed bypass surgery after diagnostic tests. After seeking second opinions in Las Vegas, where cardiologists found only minor coronary artery disease not requiring surgery, Corapi contacted the FBI and filed a False Claims Act (FCA) complaint on November 5, 2002, alleging fraud, negligence, and battery.
Dr. Patrick Campbell: An internist at RMC since 1993, Campbell raised concerns about unnecessary surgeries as early as 1993, noting cases like Mary Rosburg (died post-surgery) and Emma Jean Montgomery, where bypasses were performed despite no evidence of severe heart disease. Campbell filed an FCA complaint on November 8, 2002, which was later reinstated by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Other Concerns: Over a dozen doctors, medical technicians, and patients reported issues to hospital administrators, but no peer reviews were conducted. A representative of an ultrasound machine company also warned that Dr. Moon was misusing diagnostic equipment, potentially leading to false diagnoses.
Outcomes:
Legal Consequences: In 2005, Tenet Healthcare settled with the government for $54 million, the largest settlement for accusations of billing federal health programs for unnecessary care, avoiding criminal or civil charges against the company. Dr. Moon and Dr. Realyvasquez faced professional and financial repercussions, including paying their malpractice insurance policy limits ($24 million) to settle lawsuits from victims. The California Medical Board sought to suspend their licenses.
Patient Impact: Hundreds of patients filed lawsuits, with estimates of 167 deaths linked to unnecessary procedures. Victims included those like Cecil Josefsson, whose son filed a lawsuit claiming his father’s death was due to an unneeded bypass.
Community Impact: The scandal eroded trust in Redding’s medical system, with patients like Paul Alexandre regretting their surgeries after being coerced by Dr. Moon’s dire warnings.
Why Humboldt County May Be Mentioned: While the scandal was based in Redding (Shasta County), RMC’s patient base included Humboldt County residents, as evidenced by the Eureka case in the FBI affidavit. The hospital’s aggressive marketing and reputation drew patients from rural Northern California, including Humboldt County, amplifying the scandal’s regional impact.
The most amazing part was that the doctor who revealed this got so much pushback from the community and it was years of a traumatic ordeal for him to get an investigation to stop this.

All I can say is that EVERYONE should have a naturopathic practitioner for prevention rather than a doctor! I am 59 and have been on no regular medications for anything, just natural suppliments as my body has needed. Also, recommended foods.
The medical system treats us like cattle. We are all different and require different needs. While I have needed the medical system for certain operations I am grayeful for, I certainly don't put everything in that basket. They can only do what they are taught, which isn't a lot apparently. I have tried doing my own research over the years and after that, I also never touched another vaccine.
Unfortunately I have had to watch my parents health deteriorate as they are slaves to the pharmaceutical/medical fear mongering. The more they had done and the more medication the more issues they had. Dad had a heart attack many years ago from stress. After that they became scared I guess. They wouldn't listen to any advise I gave because I wasn't a scientist or doctor. But then when the specialist said the same thing they did it. Their medications were never right. I said don't take statins because they are dangerous. Then a few years later, because the TV told them statins were bad, they were quoting what I had already told them. Ugh.
Anyhow they both have pacemakers after taking the covid experiments like many their age that have survived it. (Seems more of the younger ones haven't survived so far. So many injuries in all ages I know and deaths) So more medication was required to get that right. They seem to have a decent heart specialist thankfully whom I have never met. After the covid farce I realised though, that all of these thousands of people on medication and these technologies will not survive what is coming. Major power outages and much more that will prevent medication getting to Australia too. Our industry is now overseas. Covid was a small taste of what they will do next with their insidious insane plans. More culling coming.😥
I've had minimal vaccines in my life. The last one around 25 yrs ago for the flu. It made me sick immediately. Never again. Now I take 1 pain med for chronic pain and that's all I take. I've been doing the Cl02 for a month and hope to get rid the last med soon. I'm 72. I'm totally anti big pharma. My doctor hates me for it.
Giving it up is my main goal but not as easily done as said. I had an accident that resulted in a compressed L3 Vertibrae fracture with lots of nerve damage in the area. I spent months in bed to heal the fracture in a a brace, and zero activity for 6 months. After having bone spurs removed 2 years ago the pain returned. I've had 3 separate stints of physio therapy ps (including pool therapy) and all made it worse. I now walk 5 times a week for a mile or so. After much research for a few years I've come to the conclusion its neurogenic atrophy, different than regular atrophy, caused by nerve damage, not inactivity. I was warned of nerve damage when the accident first happened.
I've been taking chlorine dioxide for almost a month with no difference so far. I bought DMSO but can't take it because I'm on pain meds (Tramadol). If I go off Tramadol before I take the DMSO, I basically won't even be walking. It will relagate me to bed completely with severe pain. What if the DMSO doesn't work? It's a vicious circle. I know I need help but can't find it in our screwed up medical world. Does DMSO help immediately or is there a ramp up period? I don't know the answer to that. I am hoping Dr. Yoho or someone else here can advise me.
I have taken Boron and didn't see any pain improvement. It's mostly for bone improvement and my issue is more nerve related. Neurogenic atrophy is from nerve damage and I believe that's what it is after persuing many options. I am fairly strong bone wise. I eat a good diet, walk daily and feel fairly strong. I could be wrong but I have a house full of vitamins and becoming vitamin poor. I think my next options that I will persue is electromagnetic frequency machines and maybe dark ultraviolet light therapy or the Rife machine. I've been at this for several years. I am on MMS now and will see how that goes first. Failing all the above I will just have to bite the bullet, quit pain killers, suffer for a few days of pain and try DMSO while hoping it works. Also, too many vitamins while taking CDS is not advisable since one counteracts the other and may be a waste of money. Thank you for the suggestion though.
I just found a Dr Jennifer Daniels (black lady) on YT. A lot of her last videos were about medical lies. She abruptly stopped posting anything 3 months ago after posting multiple videos about it. I wonder if they got to her and shut her down. I'll go through her list. Thanks.
I haven't tried a chiropractor. I've been very warned against it with the type of injury I have. I used one long ago (b/4 injury) and I became addicted and worked hard to get away, lol. Acupuncture is something I should probably try.... find one that's legit. I'm planning to move out of the city to a small community where I'll pursue more options. I'm in Houston and I kid you not, in 5 years I haven't found a competent doctor here, except the surgeon, who's wonderful but not from here. The rest aren't worth a penny. I'm soured on doctors. I have some horror stories...
When I went on CD I gave up all vitamins except D, K2 and Magnesium which I take a few hours later. Vitamins can counter CD.
I use magnesium chloride that I buy from a marine aquarium supplier because any impurity in an aquarium can kill expensive fish. Magnesium chloride is the most bioavailable form of the metal being absorbable transdermally as magnesium oil, a supersaturated solution of magnesium chloride in purified water.
Ive used MAGNESIUM OIL for various muscular and joint area aches and it is AMAZINGLY effective. You can buy it online or in health store outlets....its every bit an easy way to get magnesium absorbed thru the skin. I also use the cheap Magnesium Oxide that most stores offer too but Yoho is right, it doesnt get absorbed enough before it loosens the bowels (most laxatives contain a form of magnesium). I break a small 250mg tablet up and use about a quarter of it in OJ or coffee. You can mix it in your oatmeal or other hot cereal when it is cooking. I like rice for breakfast often and i let a small piece of mag dissolve in the water as the grain is cooking....
You don't need a lot of it and you can almost instantly FEEL the effects of it which is why you don't want to overdo it. Its not how much you use but HOW MUCH is absorbed. You can even place a small piece of a tablet under your tongue and let it absorb, it doesnt taste good but it hits your system quickly and after about 5 min, spit out the rest....I used to get wired at the prospect of flying years back so I'd take some magnesium to calm my irrational fears...worked better than alcohol too. Can you see why Big Pharma would prefer to give you their cockamamie medications when there is something natural and inexpensive to use instead?
Magnesium is one of the most important minerals that many of us lack and it is a key link in almost every bodily process. Don't take it for granted.
I buy my magnesium chloride from Bulk Reef Supply for $30 for 7 pounds, which might be a lifetime supply for light users. Because theirs is ultra pure, I dilute it down to a weak solution and use it to wash down my other supplements.
Oral, start out with a solution that tastes sweet and don't rush. Watch your stools closely for any sign of softening and back off if you see any.
Topical, use as much as necessary to get relief of the muscle spasm, that being the usual reason for topical use. The same stool watch applies if used more than episodically.
I make my own magnesium 'oil' for transdermal application, using equal parts water and magnesium, e.g. 1/2 cup magnesium chloride flakes diluted in 1/2 cup non-tap water.
Bulk Reef Supply also sells magnesium sulfate, which is used in marine along with magnesium chloride, to adjust pH. I don't know what the difference is between magnesium sulfite and magnesium sulfate.
Magnesium Oil would work for you too but squirt some on your hand and rub into your upper legs or lower abdomen....that'll be enough, you won't need to bathe in it. Experiment with what works for you
No. I never heard of it. Is it by prescription? I haven’t gone to the doctor for years.
When I first got Medicare over a year ago, I decided to focus on dental because of issues which included living with chronic mouth infections for many years. Hopefully it’s taken care of post 6 extractions and treatments. I still have mercury fillings but I’m unable to take care of it now because of costs.
It is a highly concentrated extract of the therapeutic component in frankincense, one of the gifts of the wise men to the baby Jesus, so its been around for a very long time. I've never heard of a Medicare plan that covered dental or vision except cataract surgery. 5-LOXIN is a patented nutraceutical that can be found wherever supplements are. Good luck and good health.
Speaking strictly about what is called magnesium oil, you can put it anywhere but your eyes. It is totally non-toxic so no limit needs to be observed aside from the fact that magnesium is a very gentle and powerful laxative...
Fruit and vegetables are unhealthy for those of us on the parasympathetic dominant end of metabolism, which your comments make you appear grossly ignorant about.
Chest pain is a symptom of magnesium deficiency, a primary cause of heart attacks,
An apple a day could send you to a toxicologist if they were grown, as most are, with pesticides.
This thing about cholesterol and hearts and blood vessels and disability and death. A lot of this keeps going on because the story has been repeated so many times. We had to learn this in school, from commercials, from the doctor who learned it from his school, the drug reps, his continuing education, his institution, the protocols, the incentives for prescribing, professional publications. And we all know it's true cuz we saw it on TV. Brought to you by Pfizer.
Uffe Ravenskov MD PhD wrote "Ignore the Awkward" and has published on how the cholesterol mythology was created and how it is kept going. The Ancel Keys story is in there. It is worth looking at how that study was used to advance the war against cholesterol to understand how data can be selected and deselected to prove something it doesn't prove. The data will tell you what you want, if you torture it enough.
Another book from Fred and Jean Kummerow. "Cholesterol is not the Culprit" about the role of nutrition and effects on the clotting pathways. The effects of trans fats, minerals, carbohydrates... More than you ever want to know. A very nerdy book. It is more technically detailed, but still readable and useable. BTW, Fred had an elective CABG in 2004 when he was 89 and lived to be 102. Was his longevity due to genetics, medical intervention or clean living?
Also Anthony Colpo wrote about this too, with a more shocking title "The great cholesterol Con...".
Maybe they don't really "hide" the facts from us but select facts and leave out other facts which frames cholesterol as the criminal. Then a panel of selected voters votes "guilty".
Uffe Ravenskov quotes Michael Crichton:
"Let's be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science, consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus. There is no such thing as consensus science. If it's consensus, it isn't science. If it's science, it isn't consensus. Period."
Statin drugs are a scandal that will probably never be acknowledged. The downstream disease from these drugs provides revenue beyond cardiology. See this book by Duane Graveline "Lipitor Thief of Memory".
It was interesting that people on high dose statins would be reduced to low dose statins AFTER their heart attacks. Wonder why that was so. Wasn't the statin supposed to prevent the cardiac incident?
The lies are mostly lies of construction and omission. Relative truths, like what kind of cookies Santa prefers or the flavor of moon cheese.
What gets me is BMJ and NEJM repeat things like 'consensus science' like it IS Science not just industrial partnerships and so people including MDs and PhDs really believe that the truth about any given subject comes down to a majority vote or persecuting the minority. That cluster of logical fallacies is like a box of chocolates.
I'll watch for that statin post. Statins are a nostrum of unusual size and proportion and windfall business.
The BMJ tells its readers that only in the 1990s were trans fats found to be a health problem. This article starts by downplaying the industrial use of partially hydrogenated fats by telling us that they occur naturally in small amounts in food. Without any numbers, percentages, references, but a sweeping generality.
Fred Kummerow published his findings on trans fats and also his findings on cholesterol in the 1950s. I didn't find all his papers in pubmed, but they are listed in references in his book.
Another excellent article! At this point I am surprised by nothing and expect nothing to change. But when our health inevitably fails, it will take courage to accept fate and do what we can to mitigate it at home. I know older folks on dozens of meds and standing appointments with all their specialists. "I paid into this my entire career(medicare), I might as well use it!"
Your communication style is refreshing. It's objectively direct, rather than a run-of-the-mill attempt to manipulate via coaxing and persuading. Objectively direct allows unmuddied thought for assessment and deliberation.
Thank you for all that you share. It's not only been personally helpful to hear from your vantage point, but it's also a generosity of spirit that is greatly appreciated. Meanwhile, I'll continue to be reasonably deferential because - 'do unto others'.
I wanted to make a contribution to this excellent posting and discussion, so I decided to find something that might be enlightening on the topic of "cholesterol."
I know the "facts" about cholesterol and high cholesterol and low cholesterol and good cholesterol and bad cholesterol and fats and polyunsaturated fats and saturated fats and animal fats and vegetable fats yadda yadda changed markedly over the years of my adult life.
I had a "high blood cholesterol reading", as I recall low 200s, in about 1990. My pulmonologist doctor at the time seemed to be going with the old "medical facts and medical thinking" and just have that kind of blood test reading meant my following his dietary guidelines and maybe to be put on some kind of prescription in the future. (Turned out my going to a pulmonologist was wrong in the first place and the thing they sent me to one was a wrong rabbit trail, and the hypertension finding was sort of incidental finding.)
I decided to just ignore the high BP and leave pulmonologist care. Good decision.
I am trying to eat more healthy foods but that's a heartache too.

Cholesterol: What the American Heart Association is Hiding from You (Part 1)
Part 1 of my 3 article series explains that cholesterol is a nutrient and not the root cause of heart disease. The root cause is a chemical process called oxidation. After all, smoking doesn’t raise cholesterol. It causes oxidation.
Cholesterol: What the American Heart Association is Hiding from You (Part 2)
In Part 2 of this series we learn about a large human clinical trial that the American Heart Association leadership buried. This trial disproves the cholesterol theory of heart disease, shows that lower cholesterol correlates with greater death, and offers solid evidence that vegetable oils increase your risk of dying.
Cholesterol: What the American Heart Association is Hiding from You (Part 3)
In part 3 of this series exposing the truth about cholesterol I show you the documents the American Heart Association use to trick doctors into believing there is ample evidence linking cholesterol to heart disease.
Robert! I wanted to alert you and all your readers to a hero Dr. Kirk Moore, who is featured on The Shannon Joy Show Tuesday, June 10. A plastic surgeon who closed down his practice during Covid to help treat Covid patients and is looking at 35 years in federal prison for Giving desperate people saline shots and a Covid vaccine card when they needed surgery, needed to keep their job, airline pilots, desperate family members who wanted to visit their loved ones in the hospital, students wanting to return to college - etc. He is a single dad and humanitarian and a true hero. His trial is in one month. He would be a great guest on your podcast, Robert…just a wonderful man. If interested, you can support him at GIVESENDGO.COM/FIGHT4MOORE
Thanks for all this info Robert. I have a question. When you take DMSO and chlorine dioxide, how do you time it with food and other supplements? It seems like you’ve mentioned sometimes these things can interfere with other medication’s or supplements… What do you advise? Thanks.
I recently discovered the Jim Humble Archive on Substack. He talks about some of this and how supplements feed parasites. So if you're taking anti parasite CDS, you are feeding its enemy. I haven't checked enough of it yet but he should have some clear directives about food timing too.
I did one of these once - about 14 years ago: If doctors are suspicious that the coronary arteries are partially blocked, they often have the patient do a “stress test.” This is a walk on a treadmill while the doctor checks the heart’s function using an EKG. - but I had to run on my one. It was required of me that I ran for as fast as I could for as long as I could on the treadmill and then, afterwards, I "collapsed" on the bed provided, while they checked my Heart Function for a Heart Murmur, which could not be found, so I was declared fit and OK - others before me came out looking quite stressed, so presumably they had Heart Murmurs.
That is weird. Even the athletes are supposed to cool down, not just fall down at the end. What if you have a heart attack while you are running or when you collapse? Wouldn't a murmur be discoverable even at rest?
I have absolutely no idea. I went in, that's what they did with me. I was OK. False Alarm, so I presuppose the same test for everyone. I've never questioned it since, not knowing any better. The idea of the test, presumably, was to stress my Heart so that a Murmur, if present could be seen and recorded?
The Nuclear stress test is a different test altogether. You don't run at all. They inject your body with a nuclear radioactive liquid which then stresses the heart to simulate stress. Its extremely uncomfortable, dangerous and can actually cause a heart attack. You are warned not to go near children for at least 2 days because you are radioactive. They inject radiation into your body and many people get cancer from it. I read about 50 to 80 people a month get cancer afterwards in the US alone. Even Harvard Medical school warns not to take it unless it's an emergency. My Cardiologist wanted to do it just because I felt a weird heart beat! Unreal! That's why I rejected it.
It's interesting that vaccines are not mentioned among the possible causes of heart problems. Personally, I avoid all vaccines and, so far, I haven't had any known heart problems. The last vaccination I had was back in the 1970s. Other iatrogenic contributors to heart problems include many prescription drugs, including psychiatric medications.
At mid-70s I exercise intensely every three days with more weights than recommended by my cardiologists and feel much better for doing so. That habit also helps me to keep working at my desk, around the house, in my yard and garden. On other days I walk a mile or so extra.

Have you considered Boron to help feed the bone to relieve the pain, in case it is a malnutrition element to the suffering?
worth trying read my Boron post
I use it at a 1 to 5 ratio in my table salt
It took me many years to find my tribe. You are in it. Thank you so much!
I have taken Boron and didn't see any pain improvement. It's mostly for bone improvement and my issue is more nerve related. Neurogenic atrophy is from nerve damage and I believe that's what it is after persuing many options. I am fairly strong bone wise. I eat a good diet, walk daily and feel fairly strong. I could be wrong but I have a house full of vitamins and becoming vitamin poor. I think my next options that I will persue is electromagnetic frequency machines and maybe dark ultraviolet light therapy or the Rife machine. I've been at this for several years. I am on MMS now and will see how that goes first. Failing all the above I will just have to bite the bullet, quit pain killers, suffer for a few days of pain and try DMSO while hoping it works. Also, too many vitamins while taking CDS is not advisable since one counteracts the other and may be a waste of money. Thank you for the suggestion though.

This helps many pain issues
I just found a Dr Jennifer Daniels (black lady) on YT. A lot of her last videos were about medical lies. She abruptly stopped posting anything 3 months ago after posting multiple videos about it. I wonder if they got to her and shut her down. I'll go through her list. Thanks.
I haven't tried a chiropractor. I've been very warned against it with the type of injury I have. I used one long ago (b/4 injury) and I became addicted and worked hard to get away, lol. Acupuncture is something I should probably try.... find one that's legit. I'm planning to move out of the city to a small community where I'll pursue more options. I'm in Houston and I kid you not, in 5 years I haven't found a competent doctor here, except the surgeon, who's wonderful but not from here. The rest aren't worth a penny. I'm soured on doctors. I have some horror stories...
When I went on CD I gave up all vitamins except D, K2 and Magnesium which I take a few hours later. Vitamins can counter CD.
I use magnesium chloride that I buy from a marine aquarium supplier because any impurity in an aquarium can kill expensive fish. Magnesium chloride is the most bioavailable form of the metal being absorbable transdermally as magnesium oil, a supersaturated solution of magnesium chloride in purified water.
Ive used MAGNESIUM OIL for various muscular and joint area aches and it is AMAZINGLY effective. You can buy it online or in health store outlets....its every bit an easy way to get magnesium absorbed thru the skin. I also use the cheap Magnesium Oxide that most stores offer too but Yoho is right, it doesnt get absorbed enough before it loosens the bowels (most laxatives contain a form of magnesium). I break a small 250mg tablet up and use about a quarter of it in OJ or coffee. You can mix it in your oatmeal or other hot cereal when it is cooking. I like rice for breakfast often and i let a small piece of mag dissolve in the water as the grain is cooking....
You don't need a lot of it and you can almost instantly FEEL the effects of it which is why you don't want to overdo it. Its not how much you use but HOW MUCH is absorbed. You can even place a small piece of a tablet under your tongue and let it absorb, it doesnt taste good but it hits your system quickly and after about 5 min, spit out the rest....I used to get wired at the prospect of flying years back so I'd take some magnesium to calm my irrational fears...worked better than alcohol too. Can you see why Big Pharma would prefer to give you their cockamamie medications when there is something natural and inexpensive to use instead?
Magnesium is one of the most important minerals that many of us lack and it is a key link in almost every bodily process. Don't take it for granted.
I buy my magnesium chloride from Bulk Reef Supply for $30 for 7 pounds, which might be a lifetime supply for light users. Because theirs is ultra pure, I dilute it down to a weak solution and use it to wash down my other supplements.
works for constipation too
But be careful because slight chronic overdoses can lead to unstoppable diarrhea.
Any thoughts you'd be willing to share on dosing?
Are you asking about oral or topical?
Oral, start out with a solution that tastes sweet and don't rush. Watch your stools closely for any sign of softening and back off if you see any.
Topical, use as much as necessary to get relief of the muscle spasm, that being the usual reason for topical use. The same stool watch applies if used more than episodically.
Thank you very much for your information, both now and your earlier post. I’m looking forward to starting this soon!
I make my own magnesium 'oil' for transdermal application, using equal parts water and magnesium, e.g. 1/2 cup magnesium chloride flakes diluted in 1/2 cup non-tap water.
You are very welcome. Good luck.
add dmso, they say
There is nothing remotely fake about magnesium, it being an essential electrolyte and required for almost every bodily function.
If the body doesn't recognize fake food, why worry about it?
Thank you!
love this
If you do not know, then you don't need it.
If you use topical magnesium (gel or oil), where do you apply it and how much?
Try Epson salt baths... Also relaxing.
As long as you don't consume them.
Magnesium sulfite is part of "snake juice" athletes make to rehydrate. I get the lab-pure kind, though, not the stuff for baths.
Bulk Reef Supply also sells magnesium sulfate, which is used in marine along with magnesium chloride, to adjust pH. I don't know what the difference is between magnesium sulfite and magnesium sulfate.
Plain water will not replenish electrolytes, and oranges have sugar in them and cause an insulin spike for susceptible people.
Drinking too much water can induce malnutrition.
Thank you! Problem is I can’t lay in tub due to arthritis- can’t get in & out
Ok make a solution in some sort of bucket and rub it all over.... After some period of time shower it off. Experiment and take notes.
Magnesium Oil would work for you too but squirt some on your hand and rub into your upper legs or lower abdomen....that'll be enough, you won't need to bathe in it. Experiment with what works for you
Have you tried 5-LOXIN? It put my arthritis into remission.
No. I never heard of it. Is it by prescription? I haven’t gone to the doctor for years.
When I first got Medicare over a year ago, I decided to focus on dental because of issues which included living with chronic mouth infections for many years. Hopefully it’s taken care of post 6 extractions and treatments. I still have mercury fillings but I’m unable to take care of it now because of costs.
I do have my 1st doc appointment this August.
I rely on supplements.
It is a highly concentrated extract of the therapeutic component in frankincense, one of the gifts of the wise men to the baby Jesus, so its been around for a very long time. I've never heard of a Medicare plan that covered dental or vision except cataract surgery. 5-LOXIN is a patented nutraceutical that can be found wherever supplements are. Good luck and good health.
go t0 see Dr. Legos in TJ; this will be about $4000. See Judas Dentistry
Epson salts have tested for heavy metals
Speaking strictly about what is called magnesium oil, you can put it anywhere but your eyes. It is totally non-toxic so no limit needs to be observed aside from the fact that magnesium is a very gentle and powerful laxative...
7 squirts each leg daily and rub in
Vonu, i bought 5 pounds of it when you initially suggested it over a year ago and took some this morning!!
I've never seen them sell it any other way than in 7 pound bottles or bags, unless you are buying big quantities.
right 7 lb
Fruit and vegetables are unhealthy for those of us on the parasympathetic dominant end of metabolism, which your comments make you appear grossly ignorant about.
Chest pain is a symptom of magnesium deficiency, a primary cause of heart attacks,
An apple a day could send you to a toxicologist if they were grown, as most are, with pesticides.
My favorite Aunt died in 1997 from a heart bypass procedure she did not need. She was 17 days on a ventilator before she died. I will never forget.
This thing about cholesterol and hearts and blood vessels and disability and death. A lot of this keeps going on because the story has been repeated so many times. We had to learn this in school, from commercials, from the doctor who learned it from his school, the drug reps, his continuing education, his institution, the protocols, the incentives for prescribing, professional publications. And we all know it's true cuz we saw it on TV. Brought to you by Pfizer.
Uffe Ravenskov MD PhD wrote "Ignore the Awkward" and has published on how the cholesterol mythology was created and how it is kept going. The Ancel Keys story is in there. It is worth looking at how that study was used to advance the war against cholesterol to understand how data can be selected and deselected to prove something it doesn't prove. The data will tell you what you want, if you torture it enough.
Another book from Fred and Jean Kummerow. "Cholesterol is not the Culprit" about the role of nutrition and effects on the clotting pathways. The effects of trans fats, minerals, carbohydrates... More than you ever want to know. A very nerdy book. It is more technically detailed, but still readable and useable. BTW, Fred had an elective CABG in 2004 when he was 89 and lived to be 102. Was his longevity due to genetics, medical intervention or clean living?
Also Anthony Colpo wrote about this too, with a more shocking title "The great cholesterol Con...".
Maybe they don't really "hide" the facts from us but select facts and leave out other facts which frames cholesterol as the criminal. Then a panel of selected voters votes "guilty".
Uffe Ravenskov quotes Michael Crichton:
"Let's be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science, consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus. There is no such thing as consensus science. If it's consensus, it isn't science. If it's science, it isn't consensus. Period."
Statin drugs are a scandal that will probably never be acknowledged. The downstream disease from these drugs provides revenue beyond cardiology. See this book by Duane Graveline "Lipitor Thief of Memory".
It was interesting that people on high dose statins would be reduced to low dose statins AFTER their heart attacks. Wonder why that was so. Wasn't the statin supposed to prevent the cardiac incident?
a lie repeated often enough becomes the truth. --Stalin
I have an upcoming post on statins
The lies are mostly lies of construction and omission. Relative truths, like what kind of cookies Santa prefers or the flavor of moon cheese.
What gets me is BMJ and NEJM repeat things like 'consensus science' like it IS Science not just industrial partnerships and so people including MDs and PhDs really believe that the truth about any given subject comes down to a majority vote or persecuting the minority. That cluster of logical fallacies is like a box of chocolates.
I'll watch for that statin post. Statins are a nostrum of unusual size and proportion and windfall business.
Sometimes, I just have to point at it.
The BMJ tells its readers that only in the 1990s were trans fats found to be a health problem. This article starts by downplaying the industrial use of partially hydrogenated fats by telling us that they occur naturally in small amounts in food. Without any numbers, percentages, references, but a sweeping generality.
https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp1314072
Fred Kummerow published his findings on trans fats and also his findings on cholesterol in the 1950s. I didn't find all his papers in pubmed, but they are listed in references in his book.
https://www.sj-r.com/story/lifestyle/2014/11/02/100-year-old-professor-trying/36033742007/
https://www.wsj.com/articles/fred-kummerow-made-early-warnings-against-dangers-of-trans-fats
That is only one way they blind you with science.
Another excellent article! At this point I am surprised by nothing and expect nothing to change. But when our health inevitably fails, it will take courage to accept fate and do what we can to mitigate it at home. I know older folks on dozens of meds and standing appointments with all their specialists. "I paid into this my entire career(medicare), I might as well use it!"
yeah - health insurance and/or medicare are not things you "want to get your money's worth" on.
I, too, know them and they are not doing so well in my direct observation.
They won't change. WE must.
Your communication style is refreshing. It's objectively direct, rather than a run-of-the-mill attempt to manipulate via coaxing and persuading. Objectively direct allows unmuddied thought for assessment and deliberation.
Thank you for all that you share. It's not only been personally helpful to hear from your vantage point, but it's also a generosity of spirit that is greatly appreciated. Meanwhile, I'll continue to be reasonably deferential because - 'do unto others'.
I wanted to make a contribution to this excellent posting and discussion, so I decided to find something that might be enlightening on the topic of "cholesterol."
I know the "facts" about cholesterol and high cholesterol and low cholesterol and good cholesterol and bad cholesterol and fats and polyunsaturated fats and saturated fats and animal fats and vegetable fats yadda yadda changed markedly over the years of my adult life.
I had a "high blood cholesterol reading", as I recall low 200s, in about 1990. My pulmonologist doctor at the time seemed to be going with the old "medical facts and medical thinking" and just have that kind of blood test reading meant my following his dietary guidelines and maybe to be put on some kind of prescription in the future. (Turned out my going to a pulmonologist was wrong in the first place and the thing they sent me to one was a wrong rabbit trail, and the hypertension finding was sort of incidental finding.)
I decided to just ignore the high BP and leave pulmonologist care. Good decision.
I am trying to eat more healthy foods but that's a heartache too.

Here is a 3-part series of short articles that look interesting and certainly expands the information and discussion about cholesterol if anyone is interested.

Cholesterol: What the American Heart Association is Hiding from You (Part 1)
Part 1 of my 3 article series explains that cholesterol is a nutrient and not the root cause of heart disease. The root cause is a chemical process called oxidation. After all, smoking doesn’t raise cholesterol. It causes oxidation.

Cholesterol: What the American Heart Association is Hiding from You (Part 2)
In Part 2 of this series we learn about a large human clinical trial that the American Heart Association leadership buried. This trial disproves the cholesterol theory of heart disease, shows that lower cholesterol correlates with greater death, and offers solid evidence that vegetable oils increase your risk of dying.

Cholesterol: What the American Heart Association is Hiding from You (Part 3)
In part 3 of this series exposing the truth about cholesterol I show you the documents the American Heart Association use to trick doctors into believing there is ample evidence linking cholesterol to heart disease.
statin post soon
fantastic thanks
Most heart disease is caused by diet... Sugar, seed oils and processed high carb crap.
Cook at home with real ingredients.
Robert! I wanted to alert you and all your readers to a hero Dr. Kirk Moore, who is featured on The Shannon Joy Show Tuesday, June 10. A plastic surgeon who closed down his practice during Covid to help treat Covid patients and is looking at 35 years in federal prison for Giving desperate people saline shots and a Covid vaccine card when they needed surgery, needed to keep their job, airline pilots, desperate family members who wanted to visit their loved ones in the hospital, students wanting to return to college - etc. He is a single dad and humanitarian and a true hero. His trial is in one month. He would be a great guest on your podcast, Robert…just a wonderful man. If interested, you can support him at GIVESENDGO.COM/FIGHT4MOORE
Thanks for all this info Robert. I have a question. When you take DMSO and chlorine dioxide, how do you time it with food and other supplements? It seems like you’ve mentioned sometimes these things can interfere with other medication’s or supplements… What do you advise? Thanks.
stay away from other supplements
you can take them two hours after you have finished CD for the day
food: empty or near empty stomach best
read references in CD section of Apocalypse almanac
DMSO: no problems with these
Gottit! Thanks.
I recently discovered the Jim Humble Archive on Substack. He talks about some of this and how supplements feed parasites. So if you're taking anti parasite CDS, you are feeding its enemy. I haven't checked enough of it yet but he should have some clear directives about food timing too.
Humble still top two best CD source
CDS inferior to MMS
Thank you!
11-year post-bypass. No issues. Cost? $0 The VA paid for it all.
I did one of these once - about 14 years ago: If doctors are suspicious that the coronary arteries are partially blocked, they often have the patient do a “stress test.” This is a walk on a treadmill while the doctor checks the heart’s function using an EKG. - but I had to run on my one. It was required of me that I ran for as fast as I could for as long as I could on the treadmill and then, afterwards, I "collapsed" on the bed provided, while they checked my Heart Function for a Heart Murmur, which could not be found, so I was declared fit and OK - others before me came out looking quite stressed, so presumably they had Heart Murmurs.
That is weird. Even the athletes are supposed to cool down, not just fall down at the end. What if you have a heart attack while you are running or when you collapse? Wouldn't a murmur be discoverable even at rest?
I have absolutely no idea. I went in, that's what they did with me. I was OK. False Alarm, so I presuppose the same test for everyone. I've never questioned it since, not knowing any better. The idea of the test, presumably, was to stress my Heart so that a Murmur, if present could be seen and recorded?
The Nuclear stress test is a different test altogether. You don't run at all. They inject your body with a nuclear radioactive liquid which then stresses the heart to simulate stress. Its extremely uncomfortable, dangerous and can actually cause a heart attack. You are warned not to go near children for at least 2 days because you are radioactive. They inject radiation into your body and many people get cancer from it. I read about 50 to 80 people a month get cancer afterwards in the US alone. Even Harvard Medical school warns not to take it unless it's an emergency. My Cardiologist wanted to do it just because I felt a weird heart beat! Unreal! That's why I rejected it.
say no until your tongue bleeds
It's interesting that vaccines are not mentioned among the possible causes of heart problems. Personally, I avoid all vaccines and, so far, I haven't had any known heart problems. The last vaccination I had was back in the 1970s. Other iatrogenic contributors to heart problems include many prescription drugs, including psychiatric medications.
exactly but this was written pre plandemic
At mid-70s I exercise intensely every three days with more weights than recommended by my cardiologists and feel much better for doing so. That habit also helps me to keep working at my desk, around the house, in my yard and garden. On other days I walk a mile or so extra.
