Following my two-part series, “Cancer Therapies That May Be Ineffective—or Harmful,” I received many thoughtful comments raising a fundamental question: Can we still trust the science and the medical literature?
I DO NOT trust so called "science" anymore! Nor do I feel bad for not trusting it. Big pharma and the medical industrial complex has played a huge role in what info "science" comes out with! In fact I refuse to ever go to conventional medicine doctor. If they don't practice Functional, Integrative or Naturopathic medicine, I'm not trusting them. And even then, I question EVERYTHING! Thank you COVID for waking me up even more! My prediction for the future is that there will be no need for doctors.....THANK GOD! Med Beds will heal the body.
Unfortunately, those of us on Medicare don't have the option of holistic care and functional medicine unless we pay out of pocket, which is unaffordable in many cases. I would much prefer never to see an allopathic doctor again. We have a broken health care system in this country.
:New mRNA Flu Vaccine Produced Much Higher Rates of Adverse Reactions Than Standard Shot
John Campbell, Ph.D., said Moderna’s clinical trial reported substantially higher rates of adverse reactions among people who received its new mRNA flu vaccine than among those who received a standard flu vaccine. He also questioned why the FDA approved the vaccine one year after HHS announced a federal wind-down of mRNA vaccine development.
I don’t disagree but not all Functional, Integrative and Naturopathic doctors are created equal just like western medicine doctors. We are our best advocates when it comes to our healthcare. No one knows us better than ourselves. Everyone must use their voice to ask for what they feel they need whether it be a test, medicine or procedure. Whether it’s western or eastern medicine or somewhere in between.
At 77 years old, having just turned, I have never received the flu vaccine. The important thing is to take care of your immune system with healthy food, exercise, avoiding stress by spending time in nature, and maintaining good levels of vitamin D. My admiration goes to the excellent and responsible doctors Dr. Peter McCullough and Nicolas Hulscher for asking the U.S. Secretary of Health, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to stop the distribution of these diabolical mRNA flu vaccines.
With the previous flu vaccine, McCullough concluded: "These data suggest that the enormous effort dedicated to vaccinating the general population is a waste of time and resources. If frail and elderly people do not experience a direct reduction in hospitalizations and deaths, flu vaccination should be individualized based on pulmonary and systemic risks." Now the risks increase with the diabolical mRNA technology.
Vaccines must cease to be a religion, a dogma of faith in their efficacy. When Dr. Humphries raised concerns about the possibility that flu vaccines could cause kidney failure, her colleagues used the mythology of medicine's most prestigious vaccines to dismiss her concerns (for example, "[the chief of internal medicine] reminded me that 'smallpox was eradicated with vaccines, and polio was eradicated in the United States with vaccines'"). This prompted Humphries to analyze that mythology and write the seminal book "Dissolving Illusions," which accurately demonstrated why that mythology was a lie.
mRNA vaccines, in particular, have demonstrated their serious dangers. Just three months ago, in August 2025, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that the federal government would wind down mRNA vaccine development, canceling 22 contracts worth almost half a billion dollars.
An internal review had found that mRNA vaccines—particularly those aimed at respiratory viruses—had repeatedly "failed to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections like COVID and flu."

My commitment is to integrative medicine, but we must be critical when any medicine does more harm than good. I strongly agree that our critical thinking, based on our personal and collective experience, helps us make the best decisions. Considering the 7 Principles of Holistic Medicine will help us be more responsible:
1) Holism: The universe is a unified whole, functioning as an interconnected system. Humans, as inhabitants of this system, owe their health to the harmonious functioning of their entire being and their proper relationship with other beings in nature.
2) Humans as a Unit: Humans are a unity of mind, body, and spirit. An alteration in any of these components affects the whole. For this reason, holistic medicine involves interventions that have a global impact, seeking to reorganize the system.
1) Humans as a Unit: Humans are a unity of mind, body, and spirit. 3) Wholeness: It is customary in Western man to divide in order to understand. In this way, the human being is split into soul and body, with the latter being further divided into systems to be studied and cured. This philosophy leads to a loss of the holistic view. Holistic Medicine recovers the concept of connection between the part and the whole.
4) Individuality: Each person becomes ill and heals individually. For holistic medicine, there are no established protocols for curing diseases; there are patients who have lost their health for different reasons, therefore each one needs an individualized diagnosis and treatment.
5) Self-healing: Human beings have great self-healing potential. The patient becomes an active participant who intervenes directly in their own healing process, with the therapist acting as a facilitator and companion. On this path, the individual must change paradigms that, throughout their existence, have enslaved them, preventing their complete fulfillment. They must also improve their lifestyles and commit themselves, since the work is not solely the therapist's; it is the active participant, exercising their freedom, who decides to heal. 6) Illness as a Help: Illness is an adaptive process that the whole being undertakes to create a new order that allows it to stay alive. It is not something bad that must be eliminated at all costs; it is an alarm that indicates something is out of harmony.
7) Power: The ACTING PERSON recovers their POWER to heal, initiating a process of change that allows them to improve the aspects of their life that are making them ill, thus finding wholeness and, consequently, health.
Investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson is documenting all known cases of injuries and deaths from COVID-19 "vaccines" in an updated list on her website.
Some of the latest updates include cases of central nervous system demyelination, functional neurological disorders, decreased immunity, Bell's palsy, antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), heart disorders, Guillain-Barré syndrome, Graves' disease, and blood clots—all linked to the injections—and many more.
A petition from scientists, led by Linda Wastila, Professor of Pharmaceutical Health Services Research at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, is calling for COVID-19 vaccines to be disapproved.
Fifty-seven authors from 17 countries have signed an endorsement urging that COVID-19 vaccinations be stopped unless new safety mechanisms are implemented immediately.
The authors include Dr. Peter McCullough, cardiologist and former Vice Chief of Medicine at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, who has called for a halt to vaccinating 30-year olds due to “no clinical benefit” and safety concerns.
Attkisson takes readers on a journey through the darkest side of the powerful and corrupt pharmaceutical industry. “Follow the Science: How Big Pharma Deceives, Obscures, and Prevails” is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of our healthcare system.
She calls what has happened to public health in this country “one of the greatest scandals of our time” and says that the real “misinformation” being spread is not what those who have criticized modern American medicine are talking about. Rather, it is “misinformation that has been fostered by the medical establishment, as well as by our government, and even our private physicians, because… medical schools are full of doctors who are taught a curriculum largely designed by the pharmaceutical industry.”
It is critical for us to stay informed now that the general information we receive is being heavily curated for us. Read books like Attkisson’s and follow the media outlets of those who, like her, continue to share the truth in the face of fake news. Someone once said, Attkisson shared, that “the people who try to censor are never the good guys.” Watch SHF’s interview with her to learn more about her journey and her new book.
In this article by Sharyl Attkisson, she highlights that few issues are as important as the integrity of the information we receive and the recent erosion of its reliability.
The recent leak of a Supreme Court draft related to the landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade underscores how corrupted many of our important institutions have become by those who are dedicated to shaping public opinion in a sometimes dishonest way.
Nearly every facet of our American institutions has been infiltrated by activists, corporate and political propagandists, and even criminals.
With blogs and quasi-news outlets like Axios, Slate, Daily Kos, Huffington Post, Vox, Salon, Talking Points Memo, and Rolling Stone joining more traditional partisan media such as the Los Angeles Times, Politico, MSNBC, NBC, The Washington Post, CNN, and The New York Times, dominating the information landscape (while their conservative counterparts are controversial), the media has shown itself to be closely linked to Big Tech in terms of its influence on the spread of misinformation.
HERE ARE 10 KEY INSTITUTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY INFILTRATED BY INFORMATION SHAPERS:
Thank you Dr. Marik for your long career of defending truth, health, and freedom.
Trusting science does not mean blindly believing those who speak in its name. True trust is built on evidence, transparency, and the freedom to question.
Science has enormous value, but it also has a dark past. The history of medicine and scientific research includes episodes of fraud, unethical experiments, financial interests, conflicts of interest, suppression of results, and mistakes that were accepted as truths for years. Science is not immune to human weaknesses.
Moreover, there is an issue today that we cannot ignore: a significant part of medical research depends on funding from the pharmaceutical industry, and conflicts of interest can influence what is researched, how results are published, and how certain treatments are presented. Some scientific journals and certain media outlets also have financial relationships with the industry through advertising, sponsorships, or other channels. This does not mean that everything they publish is false, but it does mean that we should be aware of these relationships and evaluate the information critically.
Government institutions are not infallible either. They can make mistakes, come under political or economic pressure, and take too long to acknowledge their errors. History also shows that honest doctors and scientists who challenged prevailing ideas have sometimes been ignored, ridiculed, or marginalized. Dr. Marik is a great example of someone who has fought for genuine science, science in the service of health, and the patient's right to freedom of choice.
For me, therefore, the right attitude is neither gullibility nor conspiracy thinking: it is critical thinking.
We should not believe something simply because it is stated by an institution, a prestigious journal, a Nobel laureate, a famous doctor, or a government agency. But neither should we believe something simply because it is an “alternative” theory or because someone claims to be persecuted by the system.
We should always ask: Who funded the research? Are there conflicts of interest? Were negative results also published? Has the finding been replicated? How good are the studies? Is there independent evidence? And what do the best clinical trials actually show?
Science should not ask us for faith. It should give us reasons to trust it.
And when errors, vested interests, or corruption emerge, the answer should not be to abandon science, but to demand greater transparency, greater independence, and greater freedom to question the prevailing paradigm.
Neither blind faith in the system nor blind distrust of the system.
Critical thinking, evidence, and the freedom to question.
What is truly worrying is not only the potential for corruption in certain areas of medicine, but the possibility that an entire system can create incentives that favor outcomes contrary to the patient’s best interests.
When the pharmaceutical industry, medical-device companies, insurers, regulatory agencies, research institutions, and parts of the medical establishment are tied together by economic and professional interests, the risk is not merely that individual corruption will occur. The deeper problem is that the system itself can end up rewarding intervention, medicalization, and financial gain over prevention, health, and quality of life.
And this is where the expression “corruption has metastasized” takes on its full meaning. During the pandemic, we saw the extent to which government, public-health agencies, industry, and certain sectors of the scientific community could act almost as a bloc, while dissenting voices were frequently marginalized. This demonstrates the importance of maintaining independence, transparency, scientific pluralism, and a genuine ability to challenge the consensus.
Science should never need protection from uncomfortable questions. On the contrary, its strength lies precisely in its ability to withstand them.
And here, the cases of Fauci and Morens are particularly significant. The controversies surrounding David Morens’ emails and conduct raise uncomfortable questions about the relationship between high-level scientists, government agencies, and public communication during the pandemic.
In Fauci’s case, his public shifts and contradictions—particularly regarding issues such as the origin of the virus, transmission, and masks—have profoundly eroded the trust of a segment of the public. When a scientific authority changes its position, it should clearly explain what new evidence justifies that change. And when private communications appear to conflict with the public narrative, the need for transparency becomes even greater.
Therefore, the issue is not simply Fauci or Morens as individuals. The deeper question is what happens when scientific and governmental institutions become less tolerant of legitimate questioning, and when institutional interests begin to compete with the obligation to communicate the evidence honestly and transparently.
Because questioning Fauci, Morens, or any other scientific authority is not an attack on science. It is a demand that science earn the public’s trust again.
Large pharmaceutical companies and their complicit institutions dictate healthcare management. These are the manufacturers of pharmaceutical products in the US, and they are large global corporations. The sale of pharmaceutical products is a trillion-dollar industry. It's an incredible statistic. In the United States, some of our largest corporations are pharmaceutical companies. In fact, as I mentioned before, the top 10 pharmaceutical companies in the United States earn more money than the remaining 490 Fortune 500 companies combined.
The annual financial reports of 13 large pharmaceutical companies over the past eight years reveal that pharmaceutical companies spend heavily on research, but they bundle their marketing budgets into doctor visits and advertising expenses. The highest drug prices in the world result in high corporate profits and numerous television commercials. Some of the "research" money is actually used to make products seem better than they really are. The very idea of pharmaceutical "research" is called into question: pharmaceutical research is sometimes virtually indistinguishable from marketing. Hiring practicing physicians to evaluate new drugs creates a potential conflict of interest for these doctors, further blurring the line between research and marketing. Many of the same physicians who will eventually prescribe these new drugs to their patients are initially hired by pharmaceutical companies to evaluate them. And it is their evaluation that is presented to the FDA as part of the decision on whether the drug is worth approving for patient use. Furthermore, the pharmaceutical industry is responsible for approximately 65% of the FDA's budget for overseeing human drugs.
This "science" rests on the need for promotion within the scientific field and financial support to remain at the forefront of research—a promotion rife with plagiarism and all sorts of deception, as evidenced by the Retraction Watch website, which reports between 500 and 600 retractions of articles published in prestigious scientific journals each year. The reasons a publisher might withdraw a publication are varied: use of unconfirmed or fabricated data, plagiarism, misuse of statistics, etc.
Frauds in the medical field can be extremely dangerous. Often, the results of fraudulent studies have been used to develop clinical protocols and treatments for numerous diseases. COVID-19 and many other "epidemics" are managed without considering early treatments, a practice championed by Dr. Marik and Dr. Pierre Kory, co-founders of the FLCCC group, who promoted protocols for treatments like ivermectin.
The biggest frauds in history, which exploit fear, are linked to vaccines developed to mitigate a pandemic, but whose mRNA technology is being discredited due to serious health consequences, including the mRNA flu vaccine. This includes publications about the origin of COVID-19 and the deceptions of Fauci and the entire globalist cabal. A criminal fraud causing millions of deaths, illnesses, and economic crises.
Scientific fraud also involves the misuse of funds intended for research. Many major deceptions involve such hot-button and lucrative topics as cloning, the search for vaccines and treatments for diseases that will later generate high economic returns, while neglecting diseases that are not profitable. Those responsible receive substantial grants to maintain their lines of research, and in fact, many major scientific fraudsters have been convicted of embezzlement, but many others are evading justice.
Dr. Marik, I get the sense that you are old enough to remember when reason and integrity held an important place in the practice of medicine and you’re willing to do what you can to defend whatever remains that patch of ground. I also appreciate your willingness to engage your audience in civilized discourse. It’s a place we’ve needed to find our way back to after the polarization and heated rhetoric of the past few years. Your points on this topic are well taken.
Researchers point to evidence suggesting that taking smaller doses of some cancer drugs, or remaining on them for shorter periods, could save billions of dollars and prevent some of the worst side effects. But drugmakers have shown little interest in dialing back recommended dosages. Once they set the price for a drug, the more sales, the more profit.
99.99% of people take their doctors advice some patients may ask a few questions but that is the extent of their research. 99.99% of doctors do not do their own critical analysis of the research they listen to pharma reps, attend conferences paid for by pharma, do not read the journals that are financially dependent on pharma, listen to the CDC which often acts as a marketing arm of pharma. It is not realistic to expect.the public to sort through all this corruption. Covid19 was a blessing in disguise in one small way, 0.01% of the public now understand the above.
Novak Djokovic: ‘I Was a Villain of the World’ for Standing Up for Medical Freedom
A new Amazon Prime documentary revisits Novak Djokovic’s COVID-19 vaccine controversy and the backlash that followed his refusal to get vaccinated. Djokovic said his decision was about “freedom to choose,” even as he missed major tournaments and endured fierce public criticism. “That fundamental right … was taken away from a lot of people,” he said.
Bravo for your courage and integrity,👍.Yes, Novak Djokovic's statement—"I was the villain of the world for defending medical freedom"—reflects how, during the pandemic, those who dared to exercise their freedom of choice instead of following the mainstream were publicly punished. His refusal to be vaccinated was not a capricious defiance or a quest for privilege: it was a personal decision, well-reasoned and accepted with all its consequences. Without asking for special treatment, he accepted losing tournaments, points, and historic opportunities rather than renounce a basic principle about his own body.
What is most critical is how his "villain" image was constructed. In a climate of fear, social pressure, and polarized discourse, Djokovic became the perfect target for those who needed a symbol of "disobedience." His deportation from Australia and the ensuing media lynching showed that, in times of crisis, the public narrative can become more authoritarian than the laws themselves, punishing not irresponsibility, but dissent.
The Amazon Prime documentary exposes this contradiction: an athlete who acted consistently was transformed into a global antagonist for refusing to comply with a rule he considered unfair in his case. His story reminds us that freedom of choice is not comfortable, it is not popular, and it doesn't always fit the dominant narrative, but it remains a fundamental right that deserves to be defended even when it makes people uncomfortable.
Japan's top oncologist, Professor Fukushima, condemns mRNA vaccines as "bad scientific practices"
"I am the most senior medical oncologist in Japan. I was the first to open an outpatient cancer clinic at Kyoto University, and before that, at Kyoto University, in 2020, I was head of a section at the Aichi Cancer Center; all positions were at the Aichi Cancer Center Hospital. I established the first pharmacoepidemiology course at Kyoto University in Japan. … There is talk of a type of cancer called 'turbo,' never seen by doctors before, characterized by an incredibly rapid rate of spread. When it is detected, it is already at stage four, advanced cancer, and these cases are starting to appear sporadically in consultations. That's why doctors started sharing information about these extraordinary cases, which are different from previous ones. So, gradually, this situation has been developing over the past year or the year before. In fact, doctors have been..." Sensing from the field that something unusual related to cancer might be happening. They were feeling it on the ground. …
Furthermore, the results of our analysis show, surprisingly, that some specific types of cancer, in relation to vaccination, appear to be experiencing excess mortality. First, cancers such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer, thyroid cancer, and, statistically, esophageal and lung cancer. These are, and another is prostate cancer in men. These cancers are specifically observing excess mortality. This phenomenon cannot be explained simply by disruptions such as the lack of availability of early testing due to the pandemic or the loss of treatment opportunities.
Thanks, Dr. Marik. When I come over to comment, I get a weird response about “not the correct format”. Until Covid debacle, I was a nurse and who believed it was science. Now I think it through. We were drilled “critical thinking skills “ in recent years before I came home the last morning to be a full time retiree! What a sham that they called it that. My patients mattered very much to me. I appreciate what you wrote on “Trusting The Science”!
When lae-trile showed 90% reduction in mets and no safety issues, I suggest you check with the doctors and clinics worldwide for the story on the 2/3rds that it measurably benefits. The drying up of pleural effusion? The palliation of bone mets? Efficiency in tnbc and not so much in er pos disease? Gleason 9 it’s spot on while Gleason 6 not so. I’m of the mind that tissue levels of beta-glycosidase are key for the benefit seen in nutritional and therapeutic use of nitrilosides like l-mandelonitriloside
(laevo-rotary mandelonitriloside thus laevotril or lae-trile)
YES... Pterostilbene a good alternative?
I DO NOT trust so called "science" anymore! Nor do I feel bad for not trusting it. Big pharma and the medical industrial complex has played a huge role in what info "science" comes out with! In fact I refuse to ever go to conventional medicine doctor. If they don't practice Functional, Integrative or Naturopathic medicine, I'm not trusting them. And even then, I question EVERYTHING!

Investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson is documenting all known cases of injuries and deaths from COVID-19 "vaccines" in an updated list on her website.
Some of the latest updates include cases of central nervous system demyelination, functional neurological disorders, decreased immunity, Bell's palsy, antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), heart disorders, Guillain-Barré syndrome, Graves' disease, and blood clots—all linked to the injections—and many more.

This does not mean that everything they publish is false, but it does mean that we should be aware of these relationships and evaluate the information critically.
Government institutions are not infallible either. They can make mistakes, come under political or economic pressure, and take too long to acknowledge their errors. History also shows that honest doctors and scientists who challenged prevailing ideas have sometimes been ignored, ridiculed, or marginalized. Dr. Marik is a great example of someone who has fought for genuine science, science in the service of health, and the patient's right to freedom of choice.
For me, therefore, the right attitude is neither gullibility nor conspiracy thinking: it is critical thinking.
We should not believe something simply because it is stated by an institution, a prestigious journal, a Nobel laureate, a famous doctor, or a government agency. But neither should we believe something simply because it is an “alternative” theory or because someone claims to be persecuted by the system.
We should always ask: Who funded the research? Are there conflicts of interest? Were negative results also published? Has the finding been replicated? How good are the studies? Is there independent evidence? And what do the best clinical trials actually show?
Science should not ask us for faith. It should give us reasons to trust it.
And when errors, vested interests, or corruption emerge, the answer should not be to abandon science, but to demand greater transparency, greater independence, and greater freedom to question the prevailing paradigm.
Neither blind faith in the system nor blind distrust of the system.
Critical thinking, evidence, and the freedom to question.
What is truly worrying is not only the potential for corruption in certain areas of medicine, but the possibility that an entire system can create incentives that favor outcomes contrary to the patient’s best interests.
When the pharmaceutical industry, medical-device companies, insurers, regulatory agencies, research institutions, and parts of the medical establishment are tied together by economic and professional interests, the risk is not merely that individual corruption will occur. The deeper problem is that the system itself can end up rewarding intervention, medicalization, and financial gain over prevention, health, and quality of life.
And this is where the expression “corruption has metastasized” takes on its full meaning. During the pandemic, we saw the extent to which government, public-health agencies, industry, and certain sectors of the scientific community could act almost as a bloc, while dissenting voices were frequently marginalized. This demonstrates the importance of maintaining independence, transparency, scientific pluralism, and a genuine ability to challenge the consensus.
Science should never need protection from uncomfortable questions. On the contrary, its strength lies precisely in its ability to withstand them.
And here, the cases of Fauci and Morens are particularly significant. The controversies surrounding David Morens’ emails and conduct raise uncomfortable questions about the relationship between high-level scientists, government agencies, and public communication during the pandemic.
In Fauci’s case, his public shifts and contradictions—particularly regarding issues such as the origin of the virus, transmission, and masks—have profoundly eroded the trust of a segment of the public. When a scientific authority changes its position, it should clearly explain what new evidence justifies that change. And when private communications appear to conflict with the public narrative, the need for transparency becomes even greater.
Therefore, the issue is not simply Fauci or Morens as individuals. The deeper question is what happens when scientific and governmental institutions become less tolerant of legitimate questioning, and when institutional interests begin to compete with the obligation to communicate the evidence honestly and transparently.
Because questioning Fauci, Morens, or any other scientific authority is not an attack on science. It is a demand that science earn the public’s trust again.
I agree. Thanks..
Thanks
An excellent post. Thank you, Dr. Marik.
Large pharmaceutical companies and their complicit institutions dictate healthcare management. These are the manufacturers of pharmaceutical products in the US, and they are large global corporations. The sale of pharmaceutical products is a trillion-dollar industry. It's an incredible statistic. In the United States, some of our largest corporations are pharmaceutical companies. In fact, as I mentioned before, the top 10 pharmaceutical companies in the United States earn more money than the remaining 490 Fortune 500 companies combined.
The annual financial reports of 13 large pharmaceutical companies over the past eight years reveal that pharmaceutical companies spend heavily on research, but they bundle their marketing budgets into doctor visits and advertising expenses. The highest drug prices in the world result in high corporate profits and numerous television commercials. Some of the "research" money is actually used to make products seem better than they really are. The very idea of pharmaceutical "research" is called into question: pharmaceutical research is sometimes virtually indistinguishable from marketing. Hiring practicing physicians to evaluate new drugs creates a potential conflict of interest for these doctors, further blurring the line between research and marketing. Many of the same physicians who will eventually prescribe these new drugs to their patients are initially hired by pharmaceutical companies to evaluate them. And it is their evaluation that is presented to the FDA as part of the decision on whether the drug is worth approving for patient use. Furthermore, the pharmaceutical industry is responsible for approximately 65% of the FDA's budget for overseeing human drugs.
This "science" rests on the need for promotion within the scientific field and financial support to remain at the forefront of research—a promotion rife with plagiarism and all sorts of deception, as evidenced by the Retraction Watch website, which reports between 500 and 600 retractions of articles published in prestigious scientific journals each year. The reasons a publisher might withdraw a publication are varied: use of unconfirmed or fabricated data, plagiarism, misuse of statistics, etc.

Frauds in the medical field can be extremely dangerous. Often, the results of fraudulent studies have been used to develop clinical protocols and treatments for numerous diseases. COVID-19 and many other "epidemics" are managed without considering early treatments, a practice championed by Dr. Marik and Dr. Pierre Kory, co-founders of the FLCCC group, who promoted protocols for treatments like ivermectin.
The biggest frauds in history, which exploit fear, are linked to vaccines developed to mitigate a pandemic, but whose mRNA technology is being discredited due to serious health consequences, including the mRNA flu vaccine. This includes publications about the origin of COVID-19 and the deceptions of Fauci and the entire globalist cabal. A criminal fraud causing millions of deaths, illnesses, and economic crises.
Scientific fraud also involves the misuse of funds intended for research. Many major deceptions involve such hot-button and lucrative topics as cloning, the search for vaccines and treatments for diseases that will later generate high economic returns, while neglecting diseases that are not profitable. Those responsible receive substantial grants to maintain their lines of research, and in fact, many major scientific fraudsters have been convicted of embezzlement, but many others are evading justice.

Dr. Marik, I get the sense that you are old enough to remember when reason and integrity held an important place in the practice of medicine and you’re willing to do what you can to defend whatever remains that patch of ground. I also appreciate your willingness to engage your audience in civilized discourse. It’s a place we’ve needed to find our way back to after the polarization and heated rhetoric of the past few years. Your points on this topic are well taken.
Cancer Drugs: Are FDA-Approved Doses Too High?
Researchers point to evidence suggesting that taking smaller doses of some cancer drugs, or remaining on them for shorter periods, could save billions of dollars and prevent some of the worst side effects. But drugmakers have shown little interest in dialing back recommended dosages. Once they set the price for a drug, the more sales, the more profit.

99.99% of people take their doctors advice some patients may ask a few questions but that is the extent of their research. 99.99% of doctors do not do their own critical analysis of the research they listen to pharma reps, attend conferences paid for by pharma, do not read the journals that are financially dependent on pharma, listen to the CDC which often acts as a marketing arm of pharma. It is not realistic to expect.the public to sort through all this corruption. Covid19 was a blessing in disguise in one small way, 0.01% of the public now understand the above.
Novak Djokovic: ‘I Was a Villain of the World’ for Standing Up for Medical Freedom
A new Amazon Prime documentary revisits Novak Djokovic’s COVID-19 vaccine controversy and the backlash that followed his refusal to get vaccinated. Djokovic said his decision was about “freedom to choose,” even as he missed major tournaments and endured fierce public criticism. “That fundamental right … was taken away from a lot of people,” he said.

My comment:
Bravo for your courage and integrity,👍.Yes, Novak Djokovic's statement—"I was the villain of the world for defending medical freedom"—reflects how, during the pandemic, those who dared to exercise their freedom of choice instead of following the mainstream were publicly punished. His refusal to be vaccinated was not a capricious defiance or a quest for privilege: it was a personal decision, well-reasoned and accepted with all its consequences. Without asking for special treatment, he accepted losing tournaments, points, and historic opportunities rather than renounce a basic principle about his own body.
What is most critical is how his "villain" image was constructed. In a climate of fear, social pressure, and polarized discourse, Djokovic became the perfect target for those who needed a symbol of "disobedience." His deportation from Australia and the ensuing media lynching showed that, in times of crisis, the public narrative can become more authoritarian than the laws themselves, punishing not irresponsibility, but dissent.
The Amazon Prime documentary exposes this contradiction: an athlete who acted consistently was transformed into a global antagonist for refusing to comply with a rule he considered unfair in his case. His story reminds us that freedom of choice is not comfortable, it is not popular, and it doesn't always fit the dominant narrative, but it remains a fundamental right that deserves to be defended even when it makes people uncomfortable.
Japan's top oncologist, Professor Fukushima, condemns mRNA vaccines as "bad scientific practices"
"I am the most senior medical oncologist in Japan. I was the first to open an outpatient cancer clinic at Kyoto University, and before that, at Kyoto University, in 2020, I was head of a section at the Aichi Cancer Center; all positions were at the Aichi Cancer Center Hospital. I established the first pharmacoepidemiology course at Kyoto University in Japan. … There is talk of a type of cancer called 'turbo,' never seen by doctors before, characterized by an incredibly rapid rate of spread. When it is detected, it is already at stage four, advanced cancer, and these cases are starting to appear sporadically in consultations. That's why doctors started sharing information about these extraordinary cases, which are different from previous ones. So, gradually, this situation has been developing over the past year or the year before. In fact, doctors have been..." Sensing from the field that something unusual related to cancer might be happening. They were feeling it on the ground. …
Furthermore, the results of our analysis show, surprisingly, that some specific types of cancer, in relation to vaccination, appear to be experiencing excess mortality. First, cancers such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer, thyroid cancer, and, statistically, esophageal and lung cancer. These are, and another is prostate cancer in men. These cancers are specifically observing excess mortality. This phenomenon cannot be explained simply by disruptions such as the lack of availability of early testing due to the pandemic or the loss of treatment opportunities.

I love science but I keep a close eye on the scientists.
Thanks, Dr. Marik. When I come over to comment, I get a weird response about “not the correct format”. Until Covid debacle, I was a nurse and who believed it was science. Now I think it through. We were drilled “critical thinking skills “ in recent years before I came home the last morning to be a full time retiree! What a sham that they called it that. My patients mattered very much to me. I appreciate what you wrote on “Trusting The Science”!
When lae-trile showed 90% reduction in mets and no safety issues, I suggest you check with the doctors and clinics worldwide for the story on the 2/3rds that it measurably benefits. The drying up of pleural effusion? The palliation of bone mets? Efficiency in tnbc and not so much in er pos disease? Gleason 9 it’s spot on while Gleason 6 not so. I’m of the mind that tissue levels of beta-glycosidase are key for the benefit seen in nutritional and therapeutic use of nitrilosides like l-mandelonitriloside
(laevo-rotary mandelonitriloside thus laevotril or lae-trile)
You are right Dr Marik- thanks for that!
