Let's see. All right, I think we are on. Tap the screen. [Music] Share the live. Tap the screen and share the live. Welcome in. Welcome in this evening this beautiful Wednesday evening, October 1st, 2025. Grab your water, your tea. Hey, roller girl. Welcome to the season transition to fall. I've enjoyed some time away to reflect and relax. So, welcome back in for another fun 12week goround uh in our public health education. So, for the next four weeks, we're going to be talking specifically about the immune system, especially with all of the healthc care policy changes. Uh it's really important to understand what's happening, what's going on, but more important practically what you need to do for your own health. Like that's the that's the number one goal. Not necessarily there is a collective component, but I also think there's a personal responsibility uh as well. So we'll talk about that. I also want to spend a little bit of time doing some education with you guys. So this will be about a hour to 90 minute long uh webinar and we're streaming um on all the platforms.
If you have registered or if you would like to get a copy of this afterwards, I leave it up on YouTube probably for about a week and then I usually take my lives down and put them in my community just so that I retain all of the access to it and all the fun things. So, if you want to also get a copy of this time and space that we're going to share together, uh, if you're not able to attend the whole thing, please click a link in the bio. All right. So, tonight we're going to really talk about natural immunity versus artificial immunity. So, I think it's important to understand the immune system and how the immune system works in order to maintain it, right? And we all have an immune system and quite honestly we're what we're going to think about our immune system is self versus non-self.
Um so that's how we're going to determine this self versus nonself. What's me and what's everything outside of me. Now there are a lot of things that are are prevalent in our environment which we'll talk about that can get inside of yourself. Hey. All right. And so uh we are going to get into that discussion today uh about that. So first things first is I'm going to play a video for you. The video is kind of long um and so you'll have to listen in. Uh and this is specifically about the uh AMA and more information. There is a video on my um uh I think all of my platforms uh with Rockefeller. So definitely educate yourself more about public health and you know health education and all of those things. Hello Tosh. So we're gonna get started with the AMA video and I'm going to wealthy and powerful men in history. They transformed healthcare from an era of natural remedies, traditional knowledge and holistic wellness to one of synthetic drugs, centralized licensing and corporate influence that has decimated the health of generations.
John D. Rockefeller being one of the richest men of all time found that mere financial gain was just not enough. Effort to satisfy his insatiable lust for power. His most trusted adviser came to him with a plan to control one of the most fundamental aspects healthcare. This manifested with the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research, America's first biomed university. It served as a vessel for him to exert his influence on the future of healthcare directly through medical education.
Andrew Carnegie, another industry mogul of Rockefeller's time, also wished to exert his influence and distribute his wealth in a manner that suited his agenda, thereby establishing the Carnegie Foundation. In 1907, the Carnegie Foundation surveyed medical schools with a man named Abraham Flexner, whose brother led the Rockefeller Institute. This survey, known as the Flexner report to the Rockefeller Foundation in 1910, favored German trained alopathic medicine, shunned natural and holistic wellness, and supported the idea that there were simply too many people practicing medicine. This led to rigorous and costly medical education requirements that restricted access to medical careers to the wealthy few. Flexner's recommendations maintained eight years of higher education and drastically reduced the number of medical schools from 650 to 50 by the end of World War I, decreasing the number of graduates by 2/3. This report effectively extinguished many medical schools that did not teach the alopathic medical fundamentals of drugs and surgery. Now, if you wanted to practice medicine, you had to play by their rules, go to their schools, get their medical license, and practice the way they taught you.
If you didn't, laws would soon be put into place to keep your mouth shut. The medical industrial machine became so hellbent on crushing traditional styles of medicine that by the mid 1900s, they sent out SWAT teams to raid the homes of old ladies for making herbal teas and giving their friends vitamins. In Rockefeller's time, medicine became a science like chemistry or physics rather than an art form that the traditional methods embraced. This meant that it would be more easily controlled through large academic institutions and focused more on interventions for populations rather than individuals. Hospitals were transformed from charitable shelters to a monopolized industry.
The proliferation of hospitals in the US from a mere 178 in 1873 to a staggering 4,359 by 1909 marked a seismic shift. The expansion of hospitals was underpinned by significant investments from the same magnates. Their financial support was crucial in establishing hospitals as elite centers of medical care, but it also tied these institutions to the interests of their benefactors. The Rockefellers and the Carnegies did most of the heavy lifting while the Rothschild family pulled their strings in the background, ensuring they aligned with the broader objectives of the ruling class. This tightly controlled network ensured that all parts from charities to businesses operated cohesively under a unified strategy that sought to shape the future of not only medicine but society. Prior to the industrial revolution of the mid 1800s, independent holistic practitioners were the backbone of healthcare in small towns and rural areas.
These healers relied on generations of wisdom using natural remedies to treat the common ailments of the day. This approach took the patients entire lifestyle and well-being into consideration. On the flip side, there were a handful of doctors often trained in prestigious European institutions specifically to the wealthy and urban populations. These doctors considered themselves the true authorities on health and medicine, shunning the small-scale holistic practitioners and ushering in an era of alopathic medicine. Utilizing drugs and surgery over traditional treatments, the sudden interest in medicine from the titans of the oil and steel industries was clearly driven by their business interests. They saw the opportunity to use medicine as a way to keep laborers healthy enough to work in their factories.
While building the first medical universities, these robber barons were simultaneously building the first public schooling system, streamlining the process from birth to indoctrinated worker effectively. Their purported charitable endeavors aimed to advance medicine. These efforts temporarily silence critics who believe that they never used their significant wealth for any good. Notably, Rockefeller's involvement in the prochemical industry, which entailed refining oil to produce various products likely motivated him to support the promotion of drugs that were beginning to be derived from those same prochemicals. He had working relationships with IG Farbin, the German pharmaceutical powerhouse of the era. When the company was split up by the Allied governments following World War II, he maintained his positions in these new companies. As industry boomed during the industrial revolution, cities blossomed and brought with them a slew of new health problems. Living conditions became more crowded. Standards couldn't keep up. And the rise of factory work imposed stressors to the likes of which humanity had never seen.
At the time, most people were actually skeptical of doctors. Regular physicians were seen as being socially, economically, and geographically disconnected from the populace, and their clinical methods were often dreaded. The treatments offered by these physicians were not only seen as expensive and ineffective, but they were also unpleasant and frequently dangerous. Bloodletting, mercury, arsenic, purgives, blistering, which is scalding burning to create blisters followed by draining. These methods were aimed at attacking both the disease and the body, which many found more detestable than the diseases themselves. To regain public confidence and reduce competition, leading doctors tried various strategies throughout the century. These included advocating for licensing laws, establishing medical schools and education, organizing medical societies, and adopting ethical codes. However, these efforts largely failed to enhance their technical effectiveness, credibility, or professional status. They needed a structured entity, a collective where physicians and the elite could unite to dominate the healthcare industry. This scheme materialized as the corrupt American Medical Association or AMA.
Remember the Flexner report that found that there were too many physicians and they all needed to practice alopathic medicine. The AMA originally requested the Carnegie Foundation to initiate the Flexner report which squashed holistic medicine in favor of centralized alopathy. The AMA was actually started in a valiant effort to reform medical education in 1846. During the late 1800s, the AMA expanded rapidly promoting the creation of state organizations. A man by the name of George H. Simmons, who founded the Nebraska Medical Association, was later appointed editor of the Journal of the AMA.
He quickly ascended to secretary and general manager of the AMA, directing it towards authoritative and self-promoting policies. He also ensured all the organization's funds passed through his control. Simmons then found a young protege in Morris Fishbine, hiring him to the AMA in 1913. Immigrating from Europe, Simmons lacked verifiable medical claim to get his training from the Rotunda Hospital of Dublin. But this hospital has never issued a medical license and was not even authorized to do so. He said that he spent a year and a half in the largest hospitals in London, though he never indicated if he was a doctor or a patient or an orderly. Later, Simmons acquired a medical degree by mail from a diploma mill called Rush Medical College in Chicago without evidence of ever stepping foot on the campus. His ally Fishbine also attended Rush Medical College, but his graduation remains uncertain, too.
Later in 1938, he stated under oath that he never practiced medicine a day in his life. Under Simmons and Fishbine, the AMA started the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry, which worked in tandem with the newly established FDA and other federal agencies to regulate the medical marketplace. This collaboration often aligned the AMA's interests with government actions, notably through a seal of approval system that demanded payments from pharmaceutical companies for endorsements. Due to the enormous power of the AMA, these endorsements were critical to the commercial success of drugs. However, the AMA had no laboratories, research equipment, or staff. So, these drugs were tested through green determining how much the pharma companies were willing to pay to get the seal. Some drug companies hated the green research process, notably Abbott Laboratories, which refused to pay. After having all of their drugs denied for approval, Wallace C. Abbott reportedly walked into Simmons office and laid mounds of documentation onto his desk detailing his fraudulent education diplomas, charges of medical negligence, resulting in deaths of patients, and even accusations of sexual misconduct. He then, of course, got his company's drugs approved.
After gaining profitable control over the AMA, he maintained a lavish lifestyle, including a mistress in a luxurious apartment while cruy seeking to discard his wife by administering narcotics to her to drive her to insanity or suicide. This attempt led to a high-profile trial where his wife testified against him, exposing his efforts to have her declared insane. The trial resulted in Simmons retirement from the AMA and Fishbine took full control, focusing on fundraising, political influence, and dominance in the medical field. He lived extravagantly, involving himself in book publishing, lecturing, and writing for newspapers. His column, marketed as medical advice, was syndicated across over 200 newspapers, establishing him as a leading medical authority despite never practicing medicine himself. In 1962, the United States government introduced new rules mandating drug manufacturers to demonstrate the efficacy of their products prior to market release and subsequently disclose any significant adverse reactions. The AMA and drug industry were not happy about this and decided to create an initiative to distract from their non-compliance, culminating in the war against quackery.
This became yet another effort to squash any health practices that didn't involve drugs or surgeries. The war initially targeted chiropractors, but quickly expanded its scope to attack other independent health practitioners. It literally got to the point where SWAT teams conducted nighttime raids on the homes of old ladies for giving out herbal teas and vitamins to neighbors. These individuals suffered severe losses, including their homes and life savings. The consequences of these actions have significantly impacted millions of regular people by limiting their access to affordable healthcare and subjecting them to the AMA's expensive, often ineffective drug treatments. Yet, pharmaceutical companies continued to market harmful drugs with severe side effects unimpeded, ignoring the new regulations. As the AMA's influence grew, there was a noticeable decline in physician accountability. The AMA's code of ethics effectively shielded doctors from the repercussions of their mistakes, which sometimes led to patient harm or death. It also discouraged medical professionals from disclosing such errors in court. A respected figure of the US Army medical staff and the US Public Health Service, Dr. Norman Barnesy criticized the AMA's code of silence as akin to the mafia's Omera, punishing any doctor who spoke out about medical failures with professional excellence.
By strategically influencing medical education, research and practice, all of these power brokers from the AMA to Rockefeller effectively monopolized the field. This orchestrated alopathic transformation of medicine and marginalization of traditional healing methods has profoundly shaped every All right. So here we go. So it's important to understand that for the framing of our discussion today. So if you've ever uh actually taken a class with me, you'll understand that we tend to go on a little bit of a journey, right? And so you have to have a certain level of understanding in term in context in terms of what we're going to talk about otherwise you're going to be lost, right? So, it's important to understand what has gone on in public health, to understand where we are presently in public health to where we're going in the future in public health.
Um, hey Marzelle, good to see you. So, I know that that was a little long and I appreciate you guys for hanging in there. It's important to understand the framing and the intricacies and the nepotism that occurred because that same pattern of behavior is still going on today. So, we'll also uh watch a video shorter uh and I cut him down as best I could um without releasing all the information, but um we'll also watch something from RFK Junior as well, so we'll understand where we are in the present moment in our public health, but wanted you to understand how our public health and public health policies have largely been dominated politically, even back to Louis Pastor. So historically we know with Louis pastor which was germ theory which we'll talk a little bit more about that later and then uh bamp with terrain theory understanding it is really the environment to which we put our genes in or uh at that time they didn't know about genes per se but to put our bodies in and we look at our environment so interconnectedly when we're talking about holistic medicine and holistic healing.
And so for the sake of this conversation, we're going to discuss it on a um a genetic level, a biochemical level, a lifestyle level. Uh and so understanding the scientific aspect of it and naturally combining it with ancient wisdom. If you're new to my channel, welcome. My name is Dr. Steele. I am a board-certified naturopathic doctor. I have seven degrees in my field, all in the public health space. I was in family practice for 15 years in Virginia, so I've seen it all. I treated a lot of different patients for a lot of years. And this is the time to start thinking about your immune system. Uh if you're already kind of noticing congestion or you're already starting to get a little sick as the seasons change, remember allergies uh kind of spear up and that's really our first sign of wait a second, there may be something going on with our immune system. So if that's happening, vitamin C, zinc, those sorts of things. So we're going to talk about that historical foundation. We watch that video discussing really it wasn't about Louis Pastor, but it was more so about how Rockefeller hijacked uh Louis Pastor's germ theory to kind of build the science, if you will, off of um alipathic medicine.
But really in more of our ancient indigenous practices, we focused on sanitation, clean water, food safety, and we'll see later on that actually the even the public health data when I went through my public health training long time ago. I think it was 2018, I think. So, um, and so when I went and to for my MH, we learned about, you know, epidemics, pandemics, all of those things. And we also learned about, you know, when these outbreaks took place and, you know, all of the data that we're going to uh learn about a little bit later on in in the video.
So, early recognition of our environment. So, when we're talking also about our environment, it's what we're putting in our bodies, but also what we're exposing ourselves to. So, keeping that in mind. back in indigenous times where they did not have all of the things because unfortunately right now a lot of our studies are being cancelled. And so, you know, studies that have been long-term and a methodology that has been practiced widely and accepted for a long long time. And so now those public health standards are no longer being honored, presented, whatever you want to call it. there's a bit of a regime change uh for lack of better term. And so we want to, you know, recognize that there are only certain things that we can control. And so coming back to our roots, coming out back to our pre-colonial health practices, as I like to say, decolonize your health care is going to be so important because these health care systems are not necessarily uh to be trusted in a lot of ways.
We know that because of Rockefeller, the AMA shifts to a pharmaceutical dominance. We know that 85% of the studies that are being put out are backed by pharmaceutical companies. Also, many of your politicians whether they are D or R or whoever it is. It's really apolitical because both sides take uh money from pharmaceutical lobbyists. So, of course, you know, that again makes more biasy. Uh, and even with the CDC, the CDC has a lot of financial endeavors and biases as well. And understand that I'm neutral about all of these things. It's matterof fact. It's not necessarily my emotions. There's a lot of emotions that get charged up when we have these conversations. And so, we just want to breathe through it all, you know, as as we begin to learn more, you know, about some of the things.
I've posted articles in the past, you know, uh like there was a study they just recently found about how how what percentage of the peer reviewers are being, you know, financed or supported or encouraged financially by special interest groups. So we understand and we also understood that during uh COVID or the vid or whatever you want to call it, we could not rely on you know our CDC FD we could not rely on those uh infrastructures for quality information. We were getting literally every single day new information. You cannot you know public health and public health strategy is done from more of a prevention perspective.
We have to be forward thinking. you know, even now is a little late to even think about your immune system, but here we are, right? Um the the weather's held out. Usually when the weather drops and it gets cold, that's really the time. We'll also talk a little bit about polio because everybody throws polio up. We'll talk about um the link with sanitation, vaccine timing, and a lot of um public fear uh and emotional response. And then a call for more of a personalized assessment. So there are some things that we can control right um perinatal prenatal um and if we think about our immune system so the immune system develops between thank you the first 2 days of life that's going to be conception uh all the way to two years old. Now when we look at what those conditions need to be like we look at clean food, clean water, no stress, a proper perinatal care.
We're talking about a lots of health care access. So, not everyone is privileged enough to have that health care access. There are uh definitely lots of uh places where there's healthc care deserts. There's not enough. And with the new big beautiful budget bill, whatever, once it goes through, when it goes through, whatever happens, a lot of those rural hospitals, rural uh communities that rely and depend on uh government funded, you know, Medicare, Medicaid, those sorts of things, you know, will also shut down as a response. So, understanding your responsibility in it. So many people unfortunately, you know, their their parents, their mothers did the very best that they could with what they had at the time. So maybe their prenatal or perinatal wasn't where it needed to be. Maybe they had chronic ear infections. Maybe they were take had a lot of antibiotic usage.
All of those things will impact um the microbiome within the digestive system. The microbiome and the digestive system is really the building blocks of your immune system. uh and we'll talk a little bit more about that when we get into metabolic health. But when we're thinking about our immune system and how our immune system works and it functions, it is that conception to two years old. So how our you know mother's perinatal care was is going to depend on our absorption and then naturally as we developmentally our bodies healed etc. So again, building that first immunity, 2,000 days of life, prenatal birth, breastfeeding, naturally, vaginal uh deliveries are going to have all of those uh microbes. And we're talking about perfect world, you know, and there's unfortunately there's a lot of evidence of systemic racial um um what would you call it? Targeting.
There's a study in New Jersey where uh mothers, black mothers specifically, were pressured more into C-sections for financial gain. So that inhibits immune systems and immunity. So really wanting to make sure you know that we keep that in mind. Again, overuse of antibiotics. So if you're using antibiotics again and again and again, it creates immune system dysregulation. Um and early exposures tend to strengthen long lifelong resilience. So we want to build antibodies and microbes. I know that people are are afraid of germs, but germs actually help your body to heal. That's why, you know, when you're in the dirt and all of those those things, you actually build a stronger immune system rather than when everything is super super stale sterile, excuse me.
Now, there is a balance and sanitation is very very important. But your a natural immune system develops an adaptive memory. So that's your natural immunity. It's when you naturally uh contract something. Now your body has to be strong enough to be able to do that. So the the issue lie is if you don't prepare and you're not aware, you're not taking care of your health. You're eating whatever. Maybe you don't have access to it. You're not drinking enough water or the water you're drinking is not healthy. It's polluted. Or uh you're under high amounts of stress.
Uh maybe there's financial uh issues. There can be a lot of different dynamics and a lot of scenarios which make a person's immune system more susceptible to bacterial infections, viral infections, etc. because all of those things play into it. When I had my family practice, I would see a mix of people. I'd see people that chose to inoculate and I had people that chose to not inoculate. Um, and I had a lot of people that wanted to learn how to naturally build their immune system. Homeoprilaxis was a way that we educated people's immune systems in that first 2,000 days of life to help uh their bodies to heal.
Naturally, that's not necessarily something that the FDA or the AMA or any of those entities sanction, recognize, acknowledge, etc. regardless of how many uh studies or data or information that is provided. So Kate Burch um has written several books about it. Um so if you want to learn more about that. So artificial immunity naturally gets into more vaccination context. Um that's more of an active immunity when you are using some sort of external agent. So, as we're uh talking, this is talking more about vaccinations. Um, you can also do more passive antibbody transfers. There are a lot of uh vaccines on the schedule from infant through adolescence. I'm not going to throw the chart up and all of that. I'm sure everybody's seen it. It's a growing list. Um, and there's also adult vaccine recommendations, especially if let's say you, um, started getting, you know, the COVID vaccine and you're on a booster and now you lose access to that. Now, while I may not, you know, I that I'm not that patient and I'm not that patient's doctor.
So, we want to be mindful of looking at these things as a tool and not necessarily it's the beall end all to the universe. Um but having access and having informed consent are my number one priority. So we hear a lot of conversation about herd immunity. Every's like ah herd immunity. There is actually a a percentage of the population that needs to have natural immunity. So typically in public health people that are healthy or that their immune systems can sustain right they will naturally contract whatever to develop antibodies right now I wouldn't necessarily go and do a chickenpox party and crazy stuff like that that's not what I'm saying we want to be aware but but when there is any sort of things that are passed around if your body is strong enough and you're exposed to it your body will produce natural antibodies.
We saw during uh COVID there was an Israel study. It was about 30,000 people. It was really a large uh base study and they they looked at and this was the early on uh co vaccines. This was not you know whatever they're on now. Um they looked at natural immunity versus the artificial immunity and of course the natural immunity superseded the artificial immunity. So there's pros and cons. The problem with any sort of you know viral infection or any sort of infection in general is if your metabolism and or your uh genetics even though genetics accounts for less than 20% if it's not prepared for what it's about to be exposed to it can be very dangerous.
So this is why making sure that you are assessing your health that you're understanding and and remember health is not a absence of symptom or disease. So when people think about their health and their relationship with their health oftentimes it's I don't take medication so I'm healthy or yeah I drink you know I drink water. Oh yeah sure I have protein. Not understanding how much protein the sources of protein how much water the sources of water.
Some people are literally just trying to survive the day, right? And so slowing down and being present to one's health is not something that we are taught to do, trained to do, or some of us prioritize because we're doing so much for so many other people. And so we really have to bring ourselves back to self. So through natural exposures, you will often develop natural immunity, right? Um and and so there is a percentage of people in the population that have to have some level of natural immunity and then there is a percentage that can hold the artificial immunity. So not every single human being on the planet, right? I know there's always this this this slogan it everything is safe and effective.
There is no medical treatment on the planet that is safe and effective for every human being on the planet. Um in fact uh studies human studies are often flawed because it's very difficult to isolate out the variables and so they will you know have a smallcale study but it doesn't necessarily represent the vast complexity of humans when we're talking about genetics biochemistry you know remote patient monitoring etc. And we'll talk a little bit later about, you know, how you construct that individual understanding using data to be able to determine if your body is healthy enough. Because that's the thing with in choosing any medical treatment, you should always be informed about all of the information including the alternatives uh that may be present and that's a part of informed consent which is the having the patients rights to have full disclosure of risk benefits alternatives.
Uh Fizer uh you know stamped their feet and didn't want you know the um uh vaccine studies for COVID to be released. They were finally released. I think they wanted to extend them like 75 years and there was a lot of push back and they were opened and you know they weren't the most favorable and so we have to be really you know very individual and personalized.
Your health is probably one of the most personal things. Um, everyone has a different relationship with their health. They have a different relationship with their doctor. They have different types of doctors. So, I I want everyone to understand that this is not a, you know, pro or con conversation. This is more of an objective understanding of where where we've been and then where we are right now. Okay. So, with that being said, I'm going to now play a video um from RFK. Um, so I am not a RFK fan. Um, if you've watched any of my posts, you will know that about me. Um, I prophetering and grifting from anyone is not really my my I don't I believe that healthc care is a human right and should not be prophetized.
So, with that being said, he does bring up uh some studies. We're gonna watch uh what he says and then I'm going to fact check him a bit. Um so you kind of understand, you know, because again, you know, healthcare has always been political. We we looked at the then and or yeah, now let's look at the now. So all right, I'm going to without further ado. Common claim that vaccines had saved. All right. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Your age as secretary recent finance committee hearing, Senator Canwell showed us this chart. to illustrate the decline in infectious disease during the 20th century. The vaccine industry has long used this kind of chart as proof of the common claim that vaccines had saved hundreds of millions of American lives. The momentous 70% decline in mortalities in the United States Europe from contagious diseases since 196, one of the most monumental public health advances in all of human history. Was this really an achievement of mass vaccination programs? people including Senator Canwell claim the most comprehensive evidence-based study that rigorously examines this issue is a CDC funded study that was published in 2000 performed by a team of researchers from CDC and John's Hopkins University and led by Dr.
Bernard Guyire. The scientists meticulously examined a 100red years of government infectious disease mortality and they concluded that nearly all the mortality reductions occurred before the introduction of vaccines and that vaccinations could therefore claim little of the credit. For example, you can see from this graph that in 1900 some 13,000 Americans a year were dying of measles. By 1960, however, this number had dropped to a few hundred. But the measles vaccine was not introduced until three years later. Therefore, almost all the measles mortality had disappeared before the vaccine. So the measles vaccine can't really claim the credit for saving all those lives. Let's look at ptasis also known as whooping cough. Again, we see the biggest drop in ptas occurred before the introduction of the ptasus vaccine.
The same is true for influenza. Massive flu mortalities had already disappeared by the 1960s. But the vaccine was not widely disseminated until the 1980s. So once again, the vaccine cannot claim the credit. And look how tuberculosis deaths nearly disappeared along the exact same timeline as all those other infectious diseases. Even though there was no mass vaccination for TB in the United States, the mortalities disappeared without any help from a vaccine. Likewise, there was never a scurvy vaccine, but scurvy deaths also disappeared along the exact same timeline. The same is true for scarlet fever, which I had as a boy. Deaths from scarlet fever disappeared in lock step alongside the drops and deaths from all those other contagions.
So, what actually did cause the decline in infectious disease mortality? Landmark 1977 study by McKinley and McKinley was required to reading in most American medical schools during the 1970s and early 1980s. That study attributed the decline not to medical advances or innovations, but almost exclusively to agricultural and engineering innovations that improve nutrition. These included better roads, air transport, and refrigeration and superior sanitation. This was the same period that flushed toilets and water chlorination became widespread. McKinley's credited less than 3.5% of the mortality declines to all medical measures put together, including antibiotics, surgeries, and vaccines. And here, for example, you see the introduction of chlorination correlates pretty perfectly with the decline in infectious disease mortality. In 1970, Harvard Medical School professor Edward Cast was arguably the world's preeminent infectious disease authority. He was both the founder and longtime editor of the journal of infectious diseases and president and founding member of the infectious diseases society of America. In his address that year to a joint meeting of the infectious disease society of America and the 10th inner science conference on antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy, Dr. Cass issued a precient public warning that actors within the medical industry would try to take credit for the momentous reduction in disease fatalities in order to advance their profits, their prestige, and their influence.
Dr. Cass challenged the emerging claim that vaccines have saved hundreds of millions of lives. Dr. Cass observed that the decline of mass deaths from these dreaded killers prior to the widespread proliferation of vaccines and he warned against what he called the halftruths and medical research had stamped out the great killers of the past tuberculosis dtheria pneumonia sepsis etc. He cautioned against the claim that medical research and our superior system of medical care were major factors in extending life expectancy. The deceptive graph that Senator Canwell showed the nation is precisely the kind of scientifically basis propaganda device against which all right so we're going to skip ad because then he goes into his his own his own spiel. All right. So he made he made a lot of claims. So we're going to we're going to dive into those. Uh because it's important for you to understand the debate, right? It's important for you to understand how each side, each group of people, you know, each each group of colonizer uses the data to their own disposal because it's it's not again about anything else other than the fact that healthcare should be a human right.
And so if we don't have the proper information or the information is corrupted or there's some sort of grift behind it, how are we going to make those decisions when we have to make them? And so uh really again I cannot beat the drum enough about informed consent because that's the keystone to health autonomy. Uh because true health autonomy means no intervention until a full understanding. Most people are rushed to the doctor. They are not broken down. they don't understand they have so much fear when it comes to the doctor they've had bad experiences etc so accessibility and that's even with insurance with good insurance so accessibility to information uh is key when I studied that um not only my MH but also in my MBA I really understood the health care system and what the deficiencies are in the health care system and its access of information so again why did those infections disease mortality decline line. So, uh, RFK did present those and he is correct that better s sanitation improved those.
So, we got indoor plumbing, etc. Our hygiene practices drastically improved clean water. So, purified and pipe water sources that eliminated uh waterbborne illnesses, improved nutrition. Now naturally our nutrition sources have declined and accessibility to healthier food source sources are becoming a greater issue. Not to mention environmental standards where better sanitation and clean water. So deregulation of corporations are also now going to be contributing to issues with sanitation, water, nutrition. And so healthier housing naturally with rising cost. uh people are having to kind of do what they can do. So more crowding, h more less hygienic living spaces. We want to make sure that you keep proper health hygiene, especially as we're going into cough, cold, flu season. You may think your hygiene is great, but you know, Tom, Dick, Sue, Mary may not. And so definitely this is a great time for uh having some wet wipes handy, antibacterial ones, wiping off uh doors, wiping off door knobs, um phones, any sort of things that you're going to be touching.
Uh washing your hands, sanitizing obviously bathing uh every single day is critical as well to reduce uh any sort of microbial situation, throwing out food, not just letting that go, washing your clothes, keeping your home swept, etc. There's lots of things that you can do to reduce um any sort of spread of things uh in that. So, where do vaccines fit in? So again, as we looked at those charts, vaccines did emerge later. Um, it was with Louis Pastor and then I cannot remember it's his name starts with a B. Um, it's kind of like an old school name. He's the one who kind of started to isolate out microbes and began microbiology. I am not a microbiologist. I don't like to go chase after all of the bugs.
Um, I appreciate the the doctors that do and they love studying all of the little, you know, nuances to that. That is not my uh neck of the woods. That's not where I want to. I'm more of a proactive instead of reactionary person. Thank you so much for the heart. So, I'm more of working on the things I can control, my sanitation, my nutrition, my metabolic health, doing my preventative screenings, etc. making sure I am responsible. So if I am not you know feeling well I'm not going to go out in public. Also too you know I people don't like the masks but the masks do reduce spread uh of you know various different microbes that are running around. Also too if you get vaccinated you are actually supposed to quarantine for three days because of shedding.
They don't tell you that. to make sure and there's a lot of things that if you choose to get vaccinated, you want to make sure that your body is healthy enough and well enough and we'll talk a little bit more about that. Um, so you know, the measles mortality rates did drop significantly before the vaccine. Same thing with polio with our sanitation. Uh, lots of better living conditions, agriculture, all of those things. But again, just like anything in healthcare, it is a tool that can be used. There are some people that refuse to change. There are some in our population. We could just let Darwin take its course. However, our medical advancements are available to be able to help those who need that.
Again, it goes back to like we talked about that Louis Pastor versus Bachamp, you know, germ theory. So, chasing after all of the bugs, you know, the bugs are the ones that are the problem. we're going to go. They're invading it and they're the cause of disease. Um and and while his um thought process led to things like pasteurization, which I I don't believe in drinking, I don't believe in drinking another animals, you know, was designed for their offspring. But for those people that do, pasteurization uh was a huge thing. There is definitely now conversation about drinking raw milk. You know, I would not recommend it myself with the microorganisms and the amount of nutrients. I just I can't wrap my brain around it, but do do with it what you will. So, but also to sterilization uh and naturally the development of uh vaccinations came out of that germ theory in Louis pastor because they were able to isolate out those germs and then create artificial immunity that then could be uh injected or utilized in the form of live viruses.
Now again I'm not a microbiologist. They could get into it I'm sure on very micro levels. that is not what I wanted to do in my in my healthc career. Um but that is you know a valid practice focusing on eliminating or neutralizing the pathogens. I'm more of a bachamp girl myself. Um it's all about the internal environment or the terrain. So making sure that I increase my nutrients, making sure that I'm eating balance, my macros, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. I'm breaking down, digesting, and assimilating that. Um my metabolism is healthy. I'm eliminating in a healthy way, drinking enough water, getting enough sleep, uh eating enough protein to help my body to repair and heal, moving my body, meditating, uh doing breath work, you know, working on my spirituality, all of the things that I need to do for me first and then whatever I have left over, I'm helping to support my husband. I'm helping to, you know, talk to my friends and support them.
I'm t teaching, educating, treating my patients etc. Right? So it's all about the terrain. In holistic medicine, we talk about the physical body, the environment. We talk about the mental, emotional, psychosocial, spiritual, even the ancestral aspect of healing because we bring in that indigenous and that um you know more cultural nuance to it. All right. So again he made some claims there. The McKinley McKinley study 1977 was actually a pivotal study uh in the early 20th century but again it's understanding the full spectrum not just cherrypicking the things. Um it did we did find that there was advancements nutrition sanitation rather than just on vaccinations that contributed uh to our health improvements. There also been like he referenced Dr. pass from Harvard uh who's an infectious disease expert advised against attributing every decline right just isolating it all out again I said I don't think that human studies can really be that accurate just because all of the controls and the variables that exist but we do need to understand the broader public health context naturally people in one area of the country or one area of the world is going to have a different relationship with their environment than others so it can't be this broad mass masks etc.
There still is a role for vaccinations of course but it can't be the only thing that people are doing. We really have to focus more on uh prevention and personal responsibility. Um so in the modern day the CDC estimates contemporary uh data that vaccines remain a crucial tool preventing a 100 million serious illnesses in US children since the mid 1990s showcasing their ongoing importance. Again, this is a personal decision. I just want to make sure you have all of the information because there's always a political uh layer to things. If you've been watching my uh previous video um that I did with Rockefeller, just understanding a little bit more about the context of public health and how we've come to this uh place.
Um it's not really an all orno approach. It's more of having a balanced view. We look at it in terms of helping to prevent outbreaks and save lives. Uh while there has to be a better overall public health infrastructure uh that can tr that looks at lifestyle changes uh and looks at health uh from a different perspective. Not just from managing or um you know reacting but actually learning how the body works and how to heal it uh and what to do. getting it back to the old school, not completely abandoning the modern, but also incorporating, you know, a lot of the old. So, let's talk about what layers good health. We have lifestyle, nutrition, exercise, stress management. Those are all things that you can control, water, food, etc. But then we also look at preventative strategies. So, uh many many states uh there are states that offer philosophical exemptions, religious exemptions, and medical exemptions. understand medical exemptions. You have to have a medical reason to be exempted out. It's not just because you feel like it.
Also too, it depends on your state uh and how your Hey John, how your state regulates it as well. So, states like California, New York are much stricter than other states. Um, so you have to check with your state local in terms of that, but you still have to stay on top of no matter what your screenings and your hygiene, making sure you want to look at your CBC, which is your immune system panel. Is your white blood cell chronically low? Is your monocytes high? Are your lymphosytes high? Think about all of those in your CBC, your white blood cells, uh, your lymphosytes, your monocytes, your asinophils, your baso.
Those are all your little warriors for your immune system. And and look at those look at those numbers when you get them back from the doctor. Are they low? Are they high? What do they look like? You know, making sure that you are being proactive and learning more. I have a course, a simple course about reading your labs. And we'll talk more about that as we go on. Also too, hygiene. Like I said, now is a great time, you know, make I always carry with me some wipes, some um uh you know, um antibacterial, you know, sanitary stuff just to make sure I can wipe things down. You know, not everyone is as you know, practical as I am. And so I make sure that if I'm peopleing that I, you know, keep keep my space uh clear. We will have an entire webinar where we'll talk about environment, safe housing, clean air, clean water, and ways to do it, you know, as cheaply as possible because I know some of these things can be really huge investments.
And so, you know, starting from the bottom and and going all the way up. And so, really, when we think about public health, it's got to be layered. It's got to be a layered approach. It can't be an all or nothing, you know, kind of perspective. There is, you know, standards like transparency, unbiased data, and safe monitoring, uh, that we should have. However, with current failures, we're going to have delayed adverse event reporting, corporate lobbying, you know, I think now Trump wants to do a pharmacy. I don't know. You know, there's like so many things happening.
And so, you know, really again, if you stop looking at for the government to save you or looking for somebody else to fix it and really take that personal responsibility and start looking at your health differently, it's not just about the handashing and clean water and sanitation, but it's also what you're eating, what you're feeding yourself, how much rest you're getting, are you overmedicating, are you avoiding, do you have an unhealthy relationship? um are you staying home when you're sick? You know, are you protecting the vulnerable population? It's really balancing a community health with an individual right perspective.
It's not an all or nothing. Even as a listed doctor, everything I know about immune system, I still honored, you know, maskearing, you know, when I went different places, you know, it's a matter of reducing spread as much as possible because when there's not a one consensus, there's not one agreement and there's polarizing and politiciz politicization of, you know, health. We just want to make sure that we have again all the information. So, uh, thank you guys so much for joining. We're wrapping up, but if you are interested in learning more about holistic health, I'd love to teach you.
Uh, there is a link in the bio which I will go over shortly. And really, it's about learning, connecting, uh, getting tools and lots of things to be able to watch. Let me see if I can pull up. Hold on one second. Here we go. All right, Groovy. So, this is my link in my bio. I just changed it, so I'm kind of excited about it. But it's got all of the links to all of the different socials that I'm on.
There is a get getting started guide, a download your uh holistic lifestyle guide that you can download and take a look. It has lots of ways to literally practically get started with your health. Uh just download it and away you go. You can also schedule a complimentary discovery call with myself if you want to. Um, no obligation. We just have a chat. I've been in practice a long time, so I'm pretty particular about who I work with one-on-one and you may not need all the things. Um, if you are interested in learning more and you want to do more of a self-guided, uh, I do have an intro to holistic medicine one and two course. Intro to Holistic Medicine 1 is all about nutrient deficiencies and Intro to Holistic Medicine 2 is all about detoxification. If you've already purchased those courses, I'm actually working on an email chain for you guys to go through the courses again. Make sure you've completed everything and finalize. We took that three weeks off to kind of let everything cool and now we're back up in our 12 uh week series.
Like I said, the next four weeks we're going to talk all about the immune system. If you want to register for any past or present webinars, uh there is a register button. You can register uh for any of the webinars. I have free ones. I have paid ones. I have all different types of webinar structures. Also too, I write a fair amount about um health care and past, present, future, all those things. So, if you're more of a reader, uh definitely check out some of the blog posts and subscribe to our RSS feed. If you need quality supplements, make sure that you're not buying them off of Amazon. I know a lot of people do that. Um, hey queen. However, you there's no sourcing. You don't know where it's coming from, etc.
So, if you need, let's say, your vitamin C or you need some zinc or you need any of the things, I will be sending out protocols as well. I have a short course that has all of my protocols for cough, cold, flu, all of those things. And so it's very easily set up. I also have um my little um like preferred um product set up and all that kind of stuff. So super easy for you. And then lastly, if you're just totally overwhelmed and you're like, I don't know what you're talking about, you can shoot me a text message um and I will respond. Uh I I definitely am more on the relaxed uh time frame. So, uh, I will respond when I am able to, um, and not necessarily, you know, immediately.
All right, cool. So, let's go back to our handy dandy thing. So, that's my link in the bio. Um, oh, you're so welcome. That's my link in the bio. You can check it out. We have our community. There's lots of free guides. There's a free uh health um uh eating healthy eating guide in there. I have lots and lots of content over 20 years of you know lots of information and made in a really easy accessible way. I hope you guys join me uh for future webinars. I have kind of just finalizing my calendar for October getting ready to again go on this 12. So look out for any of our new um classes that are coming out. The next four weeks is going to be really about your immune system.
All right. So, personally speaking, when we're looking at addressing and and establishing the health, right? Because remember, health is a state that we're creating. It's not just an absence of symptom or disease. I use a practice called remote patient monitoring. We use an app for that. And so, we're tracking things. We can track things like your heart rate, your water, your food, your steps, uh your, you know, blood pressure, your glucose, whatever numbers, you know, three, four, 500 numbers, right? We don't detect that many, but you know, when we're looking at your data as it relates to your lifestyle, but more importantly, how your body is functioning and learning about your body, learning what your heart rate numbers need to be, learning how to take your heart rate, you know, slowing these things down so that it makes you you begin to understand the relationship that you have with your body.
Um, also too, I provide a lot of assessments and personalized care, so testing. Um in my second doctorate degree I did two years in functional medicine integrative medicine and then I did two years posttock uh that's the cfmp behind my name uh cfmp and so that's certified functional medicine so I did two years and that was way way back so I've been practicing functional medicine um integrative medicine I went through methylation training as well which we'll talk about shortly and so understanding the role of testing uh understanding individualized data how to interpret that information and what to do with it. Because you know, a lot of practitioners will just give you a ton of testing, but they won't talk to you about their diet. They won't talk to you about your stress. They won't organize you. I like to organize you.
I take all the data, even previous medical records, labs, etc., and we organize it and put it in an actionable result driven uh format. So, I I like to do that so that it's off your plate. Also too, one thing that we want to consider and when we're in this vaccination conversation and really immunity, uh, is looking at methylation pathways. So, how your body processes all of those proteins. Not everyone understands this approach to health care. Um, but understanding if your body can even detoxify properly.
Do you have MTHFR variants or COOMT variants which are going to inhibit your body's ability to not only detoxify but also handle any immune system uh changes? Also too, do you have variants that may influence your inflammatory pathways? So if you have CBS varants for instance and you got the COVID vaccine and it ate up your glutathione and ate up your vitamin C and uncoupled your nitric oxide understanding okay is this a risk factor for me is this something I need to pay attention to if I'm going to engage with the conventional medical system and if I'm not what do I need to do to make sure that I'm protected my family's protected etc because there is a personal responsibility and a social responsibility so it's not just like woohoo Woo, you know, yolo.
It's it's, you know, we want to make sure that we are keeping oursel healthy uh and and strong. So, building that immune resilience and tailoring it to a proactive, not reactive health strategy is key. There's also to vaccine ingredient sensitivity testing. There are a lot of ingredients and preservatives within vaccines. There again, there is nothing that is 100% safe and effective for anybody. I don't care what it is. Third leading cause of uh unaliving in uh our world is medical errors. So this is the greater need for personalized healthcare. There are specific uh personalized sensitivity testing that we can look at things like aluminum formaldahhide, egg proteins etc to see if the body if the immune system is even strong enough to handle those additives.
Naturally if you are sick or you have come down with something recently not a good time to go get inoculated. If your body doesn't feel 100%. Remember, you have to get your body and your metabolism at really that 100 100% and even a little bit more to withstand the immune system load that your body is going to take under if you choose to go that route. So, just make sure that there's safety and personalization. You can also look at each different ones. I know people a lot of doctors don't like delayed schedules. Uh however, there are lots of different um strategies out there for uh delayed schedules. And aside from all of this, it's all about your metabolism. All diseases begin and end from breakdowns in your metabolism. What is your metabolism? It's what you're eating first and foremost. Your proteins, your fats, your carbohydrates, how you're breaking that down into acetal COA, which is the doorway of metabolism. How your metabolism is running, right? Are you breaking everything down? Or are you oxidizing your fats? Are you not able to break down your proteins? You know, what is actually happening in that KB cycle? I know people people don't like the KRB cycle, but we use it every day in biochemistry and metabolic health and treating our patients in holistic medicine.
And then lastly, elimination. How is the patient eliminating? Are they having proper bowel movements every single day? are the oscillating between constipated uh and diarrhea etc. Making sure because majority of your immune system, hormonal system and neurological system is all housed in your digestive tract. So if you don't have a healthy functioning digestive tract, guess what? You don't have a healthy functioning immune system. And so making sure that you're clearing any of those underlying infections, making sure that you're eating adequate amounts of protein because remember protein repairs and heals the body, but also making sure you can break that down. You're not burping, hiccoping, things like that. If you are, you may not have enough stomach acid. Really easy way to check is put a little bit like a quarter teaspoon of baking soda in some water, drink it.
If you don't burp within five minutes, um definitely low stomach acid, apple cider vinegar, putting that into the system. Uh making sure that you're getting maybe some lemon, alkalizing, making sure that half of your food sourcing is coming from your complex carbohydrates, your fruits and your vegetables. Remember, carbohydrates are not a scary thing. It's we want to keep our simple carbs low. Uh really easy intuitive meal planning. Our palm of our hand is going to be 4 ounces of protein. Then we want no more than a thumb of our healthy fats. Half our plate's going to come from all those again complex carbohydrates, our fruits and our vegetables. And then no more than a quarter from our simple starch. We're looking at our potatoes, our rice, uh things like that. Quinoa is a really good uh blood glucose because it's a high protein and a hard high carbohydrate. So, especially if you're diabetic or something like that, that will uh keep you from doing any kind of blood blood sugar spike. So, the more that you know and you understand your body and you know how to heal uh the the less you are dependent upon a very corrupt system.
Uh we should never be going into any sort of health care system and just giving our power away. You know, whatever you say, you know, not even with me. We want to be educated and really collaborator in your health, not just this damsel in distress and save me and fix me, that kind of thing. When you're looking at your um immune system and how your immune system is functioning, you want to look at your CBC, which is your complete blood count, not just from a reference range perspective, but also from a functional perspective as well.
Uh again, I teach classes about that. Um then you want to look at your liver health, your kidney health. That's going to be your CMP14. Uh, also too, lipid panel shows a little bit going into your fiber, your small intestines, etc. So, we can get a lot of information just from that basic blood panel that most insuranceances will accept. We all we all oftentimes don't start with all of the big fancy labs. We can do a lot just with food, water, lifestyle, all of the basic things that most people neglect. We bring focus back so that people begin to remember, you know, what's going on. So moral of the story here is data helps us to create more of a personalized immune system plan where we're looking at and we don't always look at everything for every single patient mind you but for you know patients that really love data and I treat a lot of engineers data analysts things like that you know looking at the genetic aspect looking at it from a metabolic perspective looking at it from a biochemical perspective looking at all these different pieces of a puzzle that make you up individually putting those together to to help give you the information that you need in order to to make the decision.
So again, we need a a certain amount of natural immunity, but a certain amount of artificial immunity. Uh it's a personal decision between you and your doctor. Nobody else really should be a part of that decision. Unfortunately, there's a lot of politicians that are a part of that decision. I'll be releasing and going over more information as time goes on. If you guys have any questions, feel free to let me know. Um, uh, this will be up, this training will be up for about a week and then it will go into my archives and my community if you have registered for this particular course or or webinar. Um, you will get the replay. I'll send out the replay as well afterwards as well as some other um, goodies like that um, that guide I was telling you about. So wonderful. I love teaching. Welcome back. I will get the schedule out. So, if you're already part of our community, look out for the emails because I'll put the um schedule in there so you'll have that all the things you can register for whatever classes you want.
Again, there's some free, there's some paid, there's, you know, something really for everyone. It's about creating access, but creating momentum and excitement around living a holistic lifestyle because a holistic lifestyle is not just, you know, all the fancy things. It's the basic everyday daytoday and the more that you know of how your body heals and how your body functions the more proactive you can be. So thank you guys so much for attending our artificial immunity versus natural immunity. Um I will spend a little bit of time as well when I do the um the webinar replay some of the the studies that I referenced. I'll cite those below so you guys can take a look at them and see what you think as well because some of them I just have had off the top of my head for years and years and years. So I'll go back and and reference reference them like a like a good scholar. So awesome guys. Thank you so much for attending my live.
I will see you soon..
