It’s just the flu, bro.
The fearbros and covidiots have seen a resurgence lately on freerepublic. If you come in this thread or if you lurk I want you to know this - the Flubros and Flubras are right and you are wrong. And if you say “where is your data”, or “where is your source” - just know this - we are right because we are wise and you are wrong because you are unwise. There is no justification for taking away constitutional rights. Whatever short term perceived benefit there is from even temporarily stripping these rights, it is always a bad idea in the long run.

We have some combination of two things that we must do if we are going to win all of the elections that we deserve to win in the future:
1.Eliminate the Coronavirus-inspired absentee voting that facilitates fraud
2.Somehow make Coronavirus-inspired absentee voting as secure as in person voting. I am no expert in election/voting security so I have no answer for this. And my fear is that if you stop one type of absentee voting fraud then industrious criminals will develop a new kind of fraud to replace it.
In my me mind the woods cases abs hospitalizations have exploded. This is despite a universal masking order since summer and a steady march backwards on the civil liberties scale. We are now one tiny step above total lockdown with restaurants closed and no public gatherings of any size outside your immediate household. Cases continue to rise showing t just how well all these measures work.....
naw- he now has Dominion doing his death count for him.....

Just my .02
because physicians can change peoples genetics and hobits? really?
“because physicians can change peoples genetics and hobits? really?”
Conventional physicians will perform mental cartwheels to avoid using nutrition, supplements and other simple approaches to health. Wellness MD’s, on the other hand, achieve far more with little or no Pharma. The difference is pride and ego wrapped into conventional medicine. It is a cover for serious lack of understanding of real health. Conventional American MD’s are by and large some of the stupidest people on the planet.
Are we genetically defective here in America? We might also be the least healthy population on the planet. Most over-vaxxed, most sugared-up, most obsessed with dietary fats (and when we do eat fat, we eat the wrong ones). And the MD’s happily prescribe pills to hide all the symptoms of obesity and over-vaccination.
“Things that I do to maintain health:”
Just don’t tell most family doctors. They’ll tell you that the supplements and diet do nothing.
Once while on vacation in South America, some a..hole retired gastroenterologist from Boston assured me that diet had nothing to do with health and wellness. One simply cannot be born that stupid. It has to be acquired via years of Pharma seminar indoctrination, plus over-exposure to other stupid conventional MDs.
“We are not compelled to receive the vaccine in order to keep working.”
Yet. What happens in the future will depend on who is inaugurated in January, I expect.
Ok. go to your wellness dr and have at it. I hope they have the latest technology to treat your heart attack and can take your appendix out when it goes bad — or are you like the millions of others that do natural medicine the. come running to conventional medicine abs berate is for not being able to fix years of neglect instantly?
I have people who have done coffee enemas for their treatable cancer until it is no longer treatable the. show up to the hospital 90% dead and are shocked and angry that I can do nothing for them. So I hope you don’t really need one of us a holes as you call us one day
That’s a special kind of ‘tarded.
Why then are so many people fat as Hell now?
Why do so many men have low testosterone compared to previous generations?
As for longevity, what’s the point of living if it hurts when you move, your ding-a-ling doesn’t work, and you crap your pants for 40 years?
The desire is to go out fast, not a slow disintegration.
I still occasionally watch some old Jack Lalanne videos.
He was awesome.
we physicians diagnose and form a treatment plan. We frequently refer our patients to dietitians and nurse practitioners to work with them in diet and exercize.
But then, I've spent my decades as a doctor working with poor people.
In contrast, a lot of the "wellness" types tend to be upper class people, usually women, who go from one fad to another. The "holistic" types tend to be believers in the New Age religion and a lot of it is self hypnosis and positive thinking.
This attitude helps people to take responsibility for their health, but can be emotionally devastating when you actually face a fatal illness.
Not many health nuts that express contempt for “conventional medicine” are crazy enough to run to the health food store if they are bitten by a rabid fox. If they do it will cost them their life. They will also come around to conventional medicine for trauma injuries and conditions that bring about severe pain.
I call it “The Trump Vaccine”. Makes liberals angry. But its true.
The “mask” did not stop COVID wave 2.
More proof public health folks have no answers
Time to try something that helps the very old and very frail
I forsee the mob entering a new line of business.
Fake vaccine certificates.
My aren’t we full of ourself this morning.
I had an idiot conventional MD recommend heart meds 25 years ago, after a 2 minute consultation, because I had a little white coat syndrome. Another d***head endocrinologist had his drug sales rep sit through my entire private consultation. She was hot, but she had no right to be there. It was so heartwarming to know that the hot babe with no medical training got to participate in the appt.
Speaking of heart trouble, you people are partially responsible for the explosion of heart disease. Anyone who has listened to Dr Sinatra, a real MD and brilliant cardiologist who takes a wellness approach, knows that the conventional approach is 99% nuts.
As to cancer, our rates are much higher than the rest of the world. And probably 80% of the population is diabetic or pre-diabetic (the top of the pyramid for disease). All brought about by big Pharma, big Medica, big Agri and biotechnology. You people don’t solve anything.
The rare exception is trauma care and surgeons. Best in the world. They’re not stupid.
Since you are obviously an overly angry yet completely ignorant jackass as an intensivist (“conventional MD” who is stupid) every day I round in my ICU twice and part of the multidisciplinary team I lead includes — wait for it — dieticians!
I happily invite you to go as naturopathic as you want. You are free to do so. But your visceral anger and spewing attacks at the most educated of professionals marks you as someone begging to be considered relevant and intelligent. You are neither.
I join Mom MD and Lady doc inviting you to f*uck off. With all due respect
“I hope they have the latest technology to treat your heart attack and can take your appendix out when it goes bad”
That is silly. There are conditions nutrition and diet won’t solve - like a broken arm or a stab wound. But there are a LOT of things that can be largely solved - diabetes & many heart problems. And there are many more where diet and nutrition and exercise can greatly improve the odds - like COVID.
Who has better odds with COVID - a physically fit man or a lumbering hippo?
The doctor who wanted to put me on statins based 100% on “Your total cholesterol is 201” was an idiot. Blood pressure is fine. Low triglycerides. Pulse is 55. My gut is half the size of his. But when he started reading the lab results to me - never having looked at them before entering the room - he wanted me to go on statins because my total cholesterol was 201! Just a mindless application of a number and a trust drugs are the solution.
It isn’t either/or. Not everything can be solved by diet, but a huge number of issues can be greatly improved by diet!
“because physicians can change peoples genetics and hobits?”
Don’t know about hobbits, but no, doctors cannot change people. However, they CAN stop giving guidance like “Try to eliminate all fat from your diet” - which is an almost guaranteed way to create fat people! They could stop telling people to eat bran muffins and praising high-carb diets!
Frankly, medical professionals could try to start with “Do no harm” - because right now, a lot of medical professionals are medically STUPID.
yes. And then berate for not being able to fix conditions they have been treating naturally for years. If people want to use no conventional treatments more power to them. Just don’t come running to me calling me an ahole when it doesn’t work
