1. How I began this journey
I was ending my medical career following several setbacks. Even though surgical complications like mine (see #5 below) happen to every cosmetic surgeon, the medical board wanted my scalp, and plaintiffs’ lawyers wanted everything. Between these two hammers, I got a brutal education about the “legal” and regulatory system. I could not understand why I had attracted so much adversity and was burned out.
I am now 71. Two years before I retired at 65, as all this was happening, I encountered the medical corruption literature and began educating myself about what I was facing. As I started writing, I soon learned Cicero’s truth:
Thoughts that flowed on me in composing this work proved so entertaining and delightful that they made old age agreeable and comfortable.
In a concerted effort to reinvent myself, I worked every spare minute, gradually learning to write, podcast, and publish. I finished Butchered by “Healthcare” in three years, and it became an award-winning Amazon bestseller. My other three books went up within three more years. I discovered Substack and have 350 posts, each averaging 40 hours to write. My popularity is about #35 out of 6500 Freedom movement Substacks.
I started my quest to understand my world, but after several years, I realized I had a duty to warn others. My mission became you.
2. My podcasts with the most audio downloads:
Here they are in order. If popularity is the best index, the following is a list of my best posts for your review. Add in the far larger group of people who see the essays on the Substack app, and you have my total reads. I can never tell what will be liked until you see it.

3. Statistics from my Substack dashboard
I started with 10,000 emails from my phone contacts and medical practice. When I entered them into the GetResponse emailing program, it somehow weeded out all but about 1700. When I switched to Substack, this was the database I started with.
I try not to post more often than once a week to avoid viewer fatigue and overexposure, but this is hard. I have over a hundred drafts in various stages awaiting publication or the trash. Also, for my readers’ sanity and to respect their time, I try to keep the length of each post within the size that can be emailed. Too much of a good thing is too much of a good thing.
4. Finances and numbers
I spend about 40 hours on each post. My 452 paid subscribers donate an average of less than $5 monthly. Combined with the minuscule income from meager book royalties (I give my Amazon nets to my Amazon Ads dude) and a few affiliate marketing schemes, I am still in the red after related expenses.
Unprofitability might be an advantage because copyright enforcement is not a worry for a no-profit enterprise. I try to use publicly available images like those on Wiki, but I sometimes repost portions of others' work, and they occasionally ignore copyright laws for images they use.
I now have 105 Substacks recommending me and get two to five new ones a week.
I refuse to subject anyone to a paywall because putting hooks in prose to make money is a conflict of interest that lessens credibility. Also, although I appreciate paid subscribers, I do not want anything from those with strained finances. I never got rich from my career but I made enough that I do not have to work.
5. What happened to my medical license?
From Chapter 1 of Butchered by “Healthcare:”
Every surgeon carries within himself a small cemetery, where from time to time he goes to pray—a place of bitterness and regret, where he must look for an explanation for his failures. —Rene Leriche, Philosophy of Surgery, 1951
In the summer of 2013, when I was 60, I had two women in their 30s die in my surgical center. I sent them to the emergency room, but nothing worked. It was my place, so I was responsible. It was the worst period of my life. I felt guilty and was sleepless, and my wife thought we would have to give up our practice.
I did not learn why it happened until the autopsy reports came back fully six months later. One woman had an embolus of fat blocking her lungs. This occurs unpredictably, and there is no way to prevent it.
The second had a high local anesthetic blood level. We inject this drug into fat to decrease pain, and after liposuction, we sometimes transplant the fat back into breasts and buttocks. This may have raised her levels and caused her death, but there was no way to be sure.
I started reading medicine twenty to thirty hours a week to occupy my mind. Although my original training was as a generalist, I had studied only cosmetic surgery for decades.
I began with the Prozac-class antidepressants, which I had prescribed since their invention. It stunned me to learn that they hardly worked and were often damaging. I read further and found that other psychiatric medications produce irreversible brain and health problems. Doctors have been trained to pass them out like jelly beans.
I learned that many drugs are given for wholly theoretical, even speculative benefits. Many are damaging. I consulted people for cosmetic surgery who were taking ten (10) of these at once. I began to see how medical corporations had done this to us.
I read about back pain. Most of it goes away on its own, but doctors had been thoughtlessly prescribing opioid painkillers and turning many patients into struggling addicts. Low back surgeries are the most expensive and some of the least effective procedures in all medical care, bar none. No one admits this even to themselves—not the surgeons, the hospital administrators, nor the surgical centers’ owners. The enormous profits short-circuit everybody’s judgment.
I also realized that over the past three decades, younger and younger people had been getting heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. I wondered if healthcare, particularly medication use, might be the cause. I thought about Peter Van Etten’s line, “In this insanity of healthcare, the patient always loses.” I saw that we were breaking them on a medical torture wheel.
The amount of wealth thrown into American healthcare is astounding. Since the corporations took over, hospitals, drug companies, and senior doctors on their payola are scrapping for it like giant carp eating bread. We pay them handsomely for anything they can slap a billing code on, and they dictate every move according to profitability. Patient wellbeing is now secondary. Healthcare quality—and our general health—has deteriorated.
I have affluent peers, and many are not shy about it. A gastroenterologist boasted in the doctors’ lunchroom that he puts diamonds on the fingers of his infant daughters. In 2004, a cardiologist wearing a $3000 suit told me he “couldn’t pay his personal expenses” if he made less than $600,000 a year. Nouveau riche posturing like this is usually accompanied by stories about expensive, supposedly lifesaving treatments. I always vaguely smelled a rat, but I was busy and never gave it much thought.
As I continued to study, I realized that newer science proved that many of the therapies these people were selling were worthless. I wondered what profit their fancy cars or high incomes could be for them if they did not put patients first.
After a great deal of personal and professional reflection, I decided to write about the whole medical-industrial calamity. I understand I am a whistleblower, what it means, and what I face.
After these events, the California Medical Board started a stressful and expensive action against me. Rather than fight it, I allowed myself to be put on probation. I soon realized that I had to quit if I were to accomplish anything else with my life. In late 2019, I left the melee and resigned my license. I can now say what I want outside the tent without conflicts of interest.
Why do I put (ret) after my MD? After I jettisoned my license, the board sent me a nasty letter directing me never to use MD after my name or Dr. before my name again. This was ridiculous—my degrees were earned long before I came to California. But rather than face the idiocy of litigation about something that has become progressively less relevant, I began using (ret) to clarify my status and keep those jackasses off my back.
6. About commenting and messages
Your feedback is among the inspirations I value the most, and I have learned so much from it. I consider the number of comments the best measure of each post’s success. I try to read each one and respond when appropriate. As for emails and messages, I cannot handle the current volume and remain productive. Please use the comments instead so that others can benefit from our dialogue.
I occasionally speak to people with problems but do not give medical advice. First, study the applicable “YOHO’S APOCALYPSE ALMANAC” sections and the links. If you email me, I may be able to chat briefly and clarify where you should go next for help. Please include your phone number and a concise background story. However, the time is approaching when I will not have time to answer messages.
7. What finally happened to Cicero?
Marcus Tullius Cicero was one of Rome’s most renowned statesmen, orators, and philosophers. After Mark Antony and others assassinated Julius Caesar in 44 BC, Cicero delivered a series of speeches known as the Philippics that fiercely attacked Antony’s character and ambitions.
When Mark Antony, Octavian (the future Augustus), and Lepidus came to power, they issued lists of enemies to execute. Despite Octavian's initial reluctance, Mark Antony insisted that Cicero be included on this list. On December 7, 43 BC, Cicero was captured near his villa as he attempted to flee to Macedonia.
Cicero ordered his servants to set down his litter, exposed his neck, and told his killers to do their job. After his execution, his head and hands—symbolic of his oratory and writings—were cut off and displayed on the Rostra, the speaker’s platform in the Roman Forum.

8. Appendix: Flattering notes from paying subscribers
I just found these messages in a section of my Substack dashboard. I apologize for not replying to every one personally; I could not have done my work if I had. ❤️❤️
"Thanks for the history and suggestions for handling this issue! My urologist gave me an MRI when they found a growth. Now, I'm on tri-yearly PSAs, looking for "velocity." I now have some ideas to pursue if that happens. Your discussion and overviews are reassuring. "
"I love your books and your Substack! Thank you for sharing truths about the health 'care' system."
"I work with Biophoton Light on a device called the CHIREN. But my first focus is on their teeth.. Then I measure all other meridians. You write about so many things I have been telling my clients about. My mentor was my Uncle Dr. Douglas COOK, DDS. He became a worldwide speaker on energetic interference in the jaw. Dr. VOLL trained him. My website is Biontologyarizona.com. "
"Dr Yoho: I have been a healthcare skeptic for many years. I survived horrific conventional cancer treatments in 2005 (surgery, chemo, and radiation - the trifecta). I love your work! It validates my skepticism! I have a younger brother who is a doctor. I would love your advice on how to wake him up to the vaccination fraud. He is an Internist. How do you "Red Pill" other doctors? Larry"
"I support your work because you provide important information I had no idea existed, and I didn't even know I should be looking for it. Thank you for your tireless efforts, Dr. Yoho!"
"I support your work because it is very important."

"My husband has Parkinson’s Disease, and I’m trying to find something to help him."
"Dear Doc Yoho, thank you very much for all you do!!!!!!!"
"I had hormone therapy as a treatment for prostate cancer and would like to know more about it. My experience of that therapy was unpleasant, debilitating, and ineffective."
"I am subscribing at $50 per year because your fairly recent article on DMSO extensively covered its uses. I downloaded it to share with my wife. I am reading two books about DMSO, which also highlight the perfidy of the FDA decades ago - and I think it is no better now. Thank you! Robert Yoho! "
"The work you do is great. You and A Midwestern Doctor have helped me beyond what I can articulate. Thank you. "
"I write Daily Medical Discoveries and greatly appreciate your work."
"Hi Robert, I've intended—even tried—to become a paid subscriber before this. Remembering passwords or jumping through other hoops is what stopped me. Well, I managed it this time. I very much look forward to your articles. I've known for some time that I've been remiss by not upgrading my subscription to paid, and I hope to demonstrate my high regard by signing on as a founding member. "
"Thank you for what you do! You’re worth it😉"
"Just like AMD, I appreciate your dedication to exposing the corruption in the medical/political establishment and promoting alternative therapies that have been overlooked or banned by the FDA. "
"I'm an unvaxed 77-year-old (proudly). I've been putting DMSO in cotton socks at night. I just started recently. After a couple of TIA's, I'm hoping it helps. Thanks for all you do."
"I look forward to your writings and enjoy listening to your voice. I first heard you on the Deconstructing Conventional podcast. I have been using CD in many forms since 2021. Thank you for all of your research. "
"I am a physician and understand what you are talking about. We should stick together, and you have my support."
"I have always seriously questioned the propaganda around aspirin. Thank you for your recent article. I am going to utilize this information. I will keep you updated. We are truly our own clinicians. :)"
"We need more views from medical doctors."
"Thank u for the hours you spend on research. I'm a NY teacher (no c-vax), ANTI VAX for my kids- Home school mom freedom fighter—It’s horrible here. I want to retire from teaching and go to functional medicine school, naturopathic, to help heal ppl who are on Rockefeller meds. Pray for me."
"I'm always interested in the bottom line - esp. in health matters for me and my fam. Sources are most important, and I hope you will become one of mine! "
"Dear Doc Yoho, it was your report today and JUDAS DENTISTRY that convinced me you are the real deal. I was put off originally by a Substack entry you wrote a couple of months ago, but after reading today's account of what you've been through, I decided your information is too valuable to ignore. My mouth dropped open as I read what you've discovered about dentists."
"Simply excellent articles and extraordinarily useful. Thank you."
"I can’t trust the pharmaceutical and medical establishment after all we’ve gone through the last 3.5 years. Need information that is being censored by globalist media."
"You're doing important work on fighting health care fraud, as well as educating people like me on how to heal."
"Love your work, but look forward to your real-life encounter with Homeopathy."
"You have excellent independent content. Thank you for doing this."
"Thank you so much!!!!! Bonnie"
"Your advice is excellent. "
"I have supported your work for several years. As a retired nurse practitioner, I have learned so much from you on various topics. And I appreciate you sharing your struggles with us, as well. Keep up the great work!"
"I support your work because you are a man of courage who speaks truth, both of which are required if there is to be a future of any value for our children and grandchildren. I have just recently become aware of you. May you be blessed in all your ways."
"I supported your work bc you know ALL the “woo-woo” / out there stuff, plus you are funny. "
"The credit card on the link has been replaced, so I am unpaid. I have been trying to understand if I have been taking the wrong product. It does not stay yellow: Crystal Clear Lab. 1. What products to buy? 2. Unit to check concentration 3. Could you tell me where the documentary link is? 4. I don't know the medical terms. I purchased Mr. Humble's book and began taking it in July 2023. "
"I listened to Jerry Wills Show and listened to the episode you were featured. It is refreshing to hear an MD talk about the truth about medicine and how to simply heal without Big Pharma. Thank you"
"The information you share is invaluable! I want your number to connect you to people I think you should know. I also want to keep your wife happy and bring in some money with all your ‘crazy, always changing’ views. I am just like you; I always want to learn. "
"I've seen Robert Yoho on a couple of Rumble interviews he has done, and gotten so much out of them. Truly enlightening!! Thanks, Robert!"
"Thank you! I am 65 a 65-year-old widow with MS; gonna start with DMSO!! Question- what do you & Dr Roi recommend to detox parasites? Links? How often? I don’t kiss animals…but eat sushi, etc. Thank you in advance for your help and critical info! Christy Evans "
"I supported your work because you need all the help you can get Surviving Healthcare. "
"I'm an early-retired pediatrician (18 years ago--to raise six kids and then survive BC), who appreciates your work and blunt honesty. Covid opened my eyes to vaccine harm. I'm relearning medicine all over again. Thank you for your contribution."
"Thank you, Dr. Yoho, for taking this (very) high road. Might I add an unsafe road?!"
"It is easy to become weary of the medical establishment. I did so many years ago, and the last 4 years have proven that I was correct in my thinking. Thanks for sharing so much and taking the time to write it for us. I often save your posts in folders to refer back to in the future."
"I appreciate your detailed information and research that helps people make informed decisions."
"Please point me to the section(s) that cover purifying water for drinking. Will MB do the job, or CD, or both? Appreciate your blog. Don"
"….. In order to survive, one must remain curious and do one’s research! "
"You ordinarily do amazing work, but your clarity on this piece was just what I was looking for. We know that every movement is infiltrated. I like your rubric.
"I am so impressed by the wealth of knowledge you share here. I am a huge supporter of your work and appreciate all that you are giving freely to us. I support you supporting other valuable work that is being shared. Thank you so much. "
"Thank you so much for your content. I have completely stopped trusting doctors until I started to read your content and listen to your interviews. Your recent interview with Kerri Rivera was life-changing. I have a very disturbed 33-year-old son that you may have just saved. He’s very close to suicide, and I’m in hell. I have a consultation with her, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart."
"Your reporting on CDS alone is worth the subscription price 1000x over. I've also enjoyed the other topics quite a bit. "
"Your observations are spot on, from my observations after a 5-year trip through the medical-industrial complex. Thanks for being a truth warrior."
"Lurkers are part of the problem. Supporters are part of the solution…"
"Your article on parasites is what prompted me to subscribe. We need more articles on this subject."
"I started my own health recovery journey in 2018. I'm always looking for new people to read and learn from, and so far I love your work."
"You keep coming up with great stuff! Feel guilty getting so much for free. God bless."
"I am a 70 year old, concerned healthcare consumer and a dedicated "follow the money" advocate for everything in my life. Healthcare is obscenely expensive, and doctors, hospitals, clinics, and insurers are the new titans of industry. One need only note the frequency of folks in scrubs seen daily wherever to know something is out of balance in our developed world."
"I found the fenbendazole article very informative."
"I read your book and bought copies for all the smart people I know. "
"After discovering all of the damaging Covid protocols, it has become clear that the healthcare system is not on our side. I respect that you are putting effort into guiding people to better health."
"It is very important to get the word out about alternative treatments….so people can make informed choices"
"It's great to get straight non-nonsense talk from a former doc (current doc is impossible these days) about current medical corruption under the purview of a bureaucracy that encourages that corruption."
"I am a traditionally trained nurse practitioner. Years ago, the message behind the curtain was revealed. Big pharma, gov, and Gates’s role, and I renounced it. You are spot on with your comments. Brovo!!!! PS. Went back to summer school for 7 years, now use homeopathy with great success—a 2.5 billion dollar field. Big Pharma and the FDA are coming to shut us down. Never!!! "
"I supported your work because so few people are actually trying to heal the body naturally."
"Hi Robert, I just started reading Cassandra's Memo and decided to subscribe to your Substack. I'm a supporter of RFK Jr., and I've read The Real Anthony Fauci. That's enough to trust what you're exposing. Thanks for your good work."
"You teach me things I can do to better my family and myself. Thank you for your work."
"I am an RN whose job was threatened by attempted coercion into taking this ‘vaccine’. I STRONGLY support anyone (especially those in ‘healthcare’!) who speaks the Truth about what is really Health vs Fear mongering."
"I have found that some doctors blindly follow the recommendations of the CDC and other questionable organizations. My wife was refused treatment by her doctor because she refused to take the mRNA jab. I have experienced a healthy existence using vitamin supplements for most of my 70 years. I hope to continue as long as the Lord is pleased."
"I’m behind the curve and have been working to catch up. Thank you for all that you do!"
"It takes a lot for a Medical Doctor to admit that the industry is utterly corrupt. The silver lining to the COVID years is that many of us woke up to the harm that the Medical/Pharmaceutical complex is causing. Thanks for standing up to The Monster!"
"I celebrate every doc that wakes up!"
" I think you are real and appreciate your sincerity and work ethic. Thanks!"
"Thank you dr.Yoho for your generosity. The knowledge you share is priceless.
"Really enjoyed ‘Butchered’ Robert. Thank you. I picked up a hard copy as these screens give me headaches after a while. It was from a second-hand online bookshop, so I doubt you saw a nickel of royalties. I know that wasn’t the motivation for writing it. You have a great, punchy, direct, non-BS style of writing, which is easily accessible for a non-Mensa member like me lol. Keep it up, Jim."
"Thank you for a great interview! I went on to buy all of Dr. Crouse's books as Kindles. I will go on OAS as soon as possible. I immediately decided to subscribe for free, but I upgraded to monthly because your content is so important. Thanks again!"
"You are so generous with your knowledge. I also believe that you truly want to help others. So, thank you!"
"I have a close friend who was diagnosed with Parkinson's and has been trying to help them find a better way to treat it without conventional medicine. So far, your reports have been the most useful (which is why I took a $100 subscription), and I am printing them out and sending them to him. Anything you can mention about PDs here would be very appreciated."
"THANK YOU! TRUTH AND KNOWLEDGE MUST PREVAIL"
"Your writing is relevant and should continue, and people can’t eat compliments ;) "
"As one with the largest website contrary to bad pharma, and on healthful alternatives, I find your efforts excellent. I am close to publishing a book on why humans are the sickest mammals. I will be sending an email summary of the book. "
"You have such important things to say. Thank you for all the good information!"
"It has been helpful to my family members, who include 1 with PD and two who are vaccine-injured."
