Do No Harm

The Crisis of the Inflexible

Under the direction of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the Food and Drug Administration announced that it will mandate the phasing out of petroleum-based synthetic dyes in the US food supply. Predictably, it was met with the usual scorn from leftists.

No matter how much you like not being raped, murdered, slowly poisoned, disfigured, or otherwise harmed, there will be people that will call you names for it.

The intersection of Big Science and common sense remains a wasteland that’s big on dogma and big-money influence but exceedingly short on informed, practical, digestible information that leaves an individual empowered.

Science should be an imaginative space of exploration, insight, and growth. A search for truth. Big Science has turned science and the business of science into an ossified, incurious, rigid ideology that punishes rather than rewards inquiry and cutting-edge discoveries.

A podcast called The Telepathy Tapes, while narrated in an annoying sing-song voice, is nevertheless an insightful exploration of how scientific rigidity limits the frontier of science in service of administrators and managers, and often results in hostile opposition to innovators.

The Telepathy Tapes follows the work of nueroscientist Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell who discovered that some non-verbal autistic children have shown an ability to communicate through non-traditional means. In this case, telepathy. Meaning they can read minds, and even communicate with each other in a mental space called The Hill, and talk to each other soley through the mind.

In the series, we are shown numerous examples of autistic children and young adults who are able to understand what people, such as their mothers and teachers, are thinking and relay that information back to them. They do this in front of researchers, teachers, and family members. There are a number of spontaneous revelations that have caused people to suspect that these kids can in fact read minds.

Further, the kids are shown to have a rich and vibrant inner life, far removed from the image often portrayed to the world of being inexpressive, unfeeling, and slow. They are instead shown to be trapped in a way inside their own mind, and often frustrated by their inability to communicate effectively with the world they see around them.

Whatever your take on telepathy and whether these people do in fact have extra sensory abilities, the evidence provided in the podcast shows clearly that there is a magical world that has been opened up for the people explored in these episodes.

We’re then promptly shown how many school administrators are arrogantly dismissive, contentious, and belligerent in their response. Rather than be at least curious and supportive of any intervention that allows these children to flourish, we’re told that existing science on the matter forbids teachers and school administrators, under threat of having their license taken from them, from following these promising threads of expansion, and close down all debate on the matter, leaving parents bewildered and hopeless to ever gain support outside of their individual, personal systems.

No One is Interested in Curing Cancer

There are many other promising advances in the medical field that consistently run up against roadblocks.

Take psychedelic and plant medicine therapies such as ibogaine, MDMA, psilocybin, LSD, and ayahuasca. These modalities have shown incredible potential for many mental health and addiction problems, which by every metric is ongoing health crisis in the US. Everything from PTSD, opioid, and cocaine addiction, alcoholism, depression, and anxiety.

Even the NIH reports that ibogaine “is associated with reductions in opioid use, including complete abstinence, and has long-term positive psychological outcomes.” Yet, ibogaine, and other psychedelics are listed as Schedule I drugs, and thus lie outside of the law as effective treatments to even be tested, let alone administered to patients.

Likewise the promise of nitric oxide, as Dr. Nathan Bryan in an episode of The Diary of a CEO. Dr. Bryan claims there is in existence already a cure for Alzheimer’s, among other age related maladies like high blood pressure, diabetes, and ED, in the form of nitric oxide or NO.

He correctly identifies the siloed understanding of health through strict specialization, as each specialist will look at a health issue through the microscope of their specialty, instead of a broader lens of initial cause. So we have an entire system built on addressing symptoms but not looking for root causes, which often results in a cascading evolution of side effects from treating symptoms, which leads to treating those side effects, which bring on more side effects, ad infinitum.

But there is a more sinister reason for this lack of interest. Dr. Bryan says that the medical community at large is beholden to big money, and his recommended protocols and other treatments suffer because there is no profit in it.

Dr. Bryan had his own Road to Damascus moment when he understood the broken health care system in the US. He says that “No one is interested in curing cancer. No one is interested in curing human disease. The epiphany for me came because medicine is a business. It's a for-profit business.”

The problem, from Big Pharma and Big Medical, is there is no way to make money in any of these promising interventions. Ibogaine – it’s a one-off solution. At best, it is taken occasionally, maybe one to three times. NO? it’s a simple hormone, and is produced naturally in the body.

One need look no further than the obnoxious liar Dr. Fauci and the Big Pharma scam of vaccines for the flu variant called Covid-19, the world-famous pandemic unleashed from lab in Wuhan, China at the end of 2019.

While the world shut down in the face of the Covid panic, did you know that a simple treatment of vitamin D would effectively increase protection from the ravages of the virus? Dr. Michael Nehls did, and he writes about it in his fascinating book The Indoctrinated Brain.

As always, one needs to follow the money to understand the state of our health care, and the reasons for gaslighting the public (food pyramid anyone?)

Not saying scientific rigor should be abolished, only that the established order of governing bodies and the like, as with all bureaucratic institutions, should not hold so much sway on innovation. There should be a Department of Innovation, like the Navy SEALs, that operates outside of the formal structure of the institutions while simultaneously being part of them.

They should also be very public. Think of MAPS, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, the org responding for advancing the study of psychedelics in all sorts of applications. They are very public facing and open about their research and goals. This would hold them all accountable and help ensure devious government experiments like the Tuskegee and MK Ultra experiments would never be allowed to happen.

Also the public should be able to partake in this research, if and when they are empowered to make informed decisions, to take full advantage of these new procedures and protocols, similar to the “Right to Try” Act, but for alternative therapies.

We know psychedelics are non-addictive and almost impossible to overdose, and with proper vetting for psychological / physiological dangers, there should be no reason researchers can’t advance their knowledge in fields that aren’t fully understood but hold so much potential.

Let the people innovate.

Don’t get me started on the health benefits of aspirin, orange juice, and whole foods.
