When I retired I thought I would have time to read more about the things I was interested in like gardening, herbal medicine, fermentation, painting, and a myriad of other topics. I am presently watching grandchildren while my youngest son and his wife are busy building their Amazon delivery service. I downloaded your book to read but haven't had the opportunity yet to read it. I am making a goal to read your book this coming week. I so enjoy your articles.
Thanks! It's a hassle to read. This book integrates what I've been writing about. If you've gotten most of my memos, just scan it for problems or other insights. Please reply to this post.
Almost through “Butchered by Health Care”. I am astounded by what you have presented. I am fairly conversant with some of the topics but you have really “opened my eyes” regarding many more. It’s a must read. I got the Kindle edition but plan to get a hard copy. Thank you for your work. Not sure if you gave us a deadline for feedback on your new book.
No deadline but I'd love to get a final typeset and throw it on amazon within a couple weeks. The advantage of doing all the formatting myself is that I can change its published form with about an hour or two efforts.

I always love the advice you provide to your readers. It's hard for me to provide feedback, as I'm learning. I thoroughly enjoyed your origin story and it did inspire me to write mine. I'm so glad there are doctors like you, so dedicated in giving it your all in the fight for truth about all the medical atrocities.
Tom: I have no pretensions of being an original contributor. I'm a popularizer and synthesizer. And I've found that with enough rewriting, I can get the prose clear and simple. The Breggins somehow figured the whole thing out early and some of their insights--such as about China--still are about the best anyone has done so far. They are original contributors like Mercola or RFK.
I agree that the Breggins have created the most accurate and comprehensive big picture and that predators must be opposed.
Who is your target audience? I thought that it was the UMC professionals. I think that Mattias DeSmet's theory about mass formation fits them to a T, although to no other groups except possibly the poor. The UMC are very closed-minded and easily manipulated with ad hominems like "conspiracy theorist." They will be the most difficult to reach. Your strategy, if you are trying to reach them, I think, will have to be subtle and gentle, which means it can't directly contradict the narrative in which they believe. The UMC aren't capable of dealing with the truth--directly.
I find DeSmet's work to be valuable in a limited sense (primarily in understanding the UMC mindset) and that it really doesn't overlap with the Breggins' work at all.
But maybe you aren't aiming at the UMC. Few of the poor will understand anything as technical as high school biology. Few of the working class will understand anything as complicated as college biology. The same is true of a lot of the UMC.
If you are trying to reach medical professionals, you will be dealing with a lot of the same problems as reaching the UMC--they basically have been brainwashed. Medical professionals have also been tremendously coerced by employers. Doctors have been coerced by threats to their licenses as well. So, even if medical professionals agree with you, they are captured, by and large.
I think that DeSmet will be key if you are trying to reach the UMC.
I think that doctors will need some help regaining their freedom--protection from coercion by employers and medical review boards. I think that attempting to do this by going through state legislatures will be strongly opposed by pharma and professional medical societies and county public health groups. There is a better way, I think. There is a pattern that has worked extremely well for home schooling--the HSLDA. For a modest fee, HSLDA will provide legal help dealing with threats from authorities. The same pattern could be used with medical professionals and their need for protection from threats and coercion by employers and medical review boards..
I've got a voice and I'm not conciliatory. I don't have an idea about the best audience for me. I have nearly 5000 now and keep thinking about twitter. My book is another platform. See https://dl.bookfunnel.com/t2feeen29q, grab one, and help me see any problems. I am trying to boil the info down to about a 7th grade level and the websites say that's where my prose is now. What is the UMC?
my platform has developed as organically as my understanding. I've got my ability to write. What are your specific suggestions? communication with me privately if you want at yoho.robert@gmail.com
Love the title

Ok, I will do some speed reading this week and see what I come up with.
Robert,

I appreciate all praise but I learn more when you are critical, even nasty!! I cannot be offended.
Another point--the upper middle (professional) class will be put off by any title that even hints of a conspiracy or of predators.
Those that eat propaganda 8 hours a day turn into barking cnn boxes themselves.
Have you differentiated your work from others like the Breggins?

Upper Middle Class
Who are you trying to reach? The working class and wealthy aren't fooled. The poor likely won't read books. What is left but the upper middle class?
