Traditional medicine was the original decentralized medicine. Allopathic medicine (MDs) is centralized. @DrJackKruse
One of the general differences can be seen in its trust and humility.
Traditional medicine has humility, and knows that life is far more sophisticated and omniscient than we give it credit it for.
So, its practice defers to the wisdom of the body and merely supports the body's needs.
You can call it a trust in the emergent wisdom of the body by interplay of many complex factors.
This is fundamentally a trust in a decentralized framework.
Whereas, allopathic medicine tends to mistrust the body and overestimates its power.
This leads to a tendency to interfere with what the body is trying to accomplish. It knows better.
So it cuts out body parts, irradiates and poisons, interfere with protein function, or disrupts the microbiome.
This is arrogance.
And it is no wonder it exists in a centralized paradigm.
The centralization happens at many scales.
Infectious disease is at the level of the organism.
General medicine broadly focuses at organs.
Endocrinologists, for example, focus on cellular communication.
Geneticists on nucleic acids.
Each silo'd and centralized itself.
This centralization gives rise to an attack vector on the practice.
For example, a charlatan may learn a few things, pretending to be a doctor.
But does the same thing for every patient - e.g. bloodletting done wrong.
Whereas the decentralized traditionalist knows that every technique has its place, and so uses bloodletting sparingly and selectively.
One's making money.
The other is practicing medicine.
Traditional medicine was the original decentralized medicine.

The more we try to insulate ourselves from nature, the sicker we get.
Everything from the clothes and skin-products we wear, to the houses we live in, to the urban atmosphere we create...insulates us from nature.
The food we eat. The water we drink. The air we breathe. The electromagnetism we bathe in.
All synthetic.
All detach us from nature.
With chronic disease at all time highs.

For quite some time I've been thinking about what is going on in this digital alternative medicine space, and what my role would be in it.
I've come to the conclusion that I am in the business of formulating stories and distributing belief.
One of the reasons why the current medical establishment continues to enjoy majority market share is because the people, by and large, believe in the framework of health and disease that corporate medicine is selling.
More than that, it is the de facto framework against which alternative hypotheses are considered.
The media and schools help support this.
By propagating the ideas nested in the modern corporate paradigm, the institutions cement these ideas as the de facto belief system about health and disease.
Which means radicals like myself, are always swimming upstream, so to speak.
For each statement I make about an aspect of health, I have to spend another 3-5 statements unpacking what people have been propagandized to believe.
So what am I doing out here?
Truthfully, I don't really want to sell you a supplement.
I've spent my academic time (both pre and post-Substack) trying to understand several different disciplines and ways of looking at the body & disease.
Because if you truly believe some of the principles I discuss, then your operating manual for navigating health changes drastically.
And, that's enough for me.
I'm weaving a story.
That's it.

My wife recently delivered our second child at home, naturally.
Something she taught me, that seems to stand in contrast to the typical masculine motif:
Get your mind out of the way, and let the body do its thing.
Something we can all learn from.

Why is 'muscle pain' the most commonly reported and recognized side-effect?
Because it is the only one you can really FEEL.
I believe that most of the damage statins do to the body, you don't really 'feel.'
Not acutely.
Most of the damage is slow, low-grade, and insidious.

Exercising while taking statins can be dangerous.
Increase energy needs of your body whilst simultaneously suppressing the energy-generating machinery?
Unfortunately, this is the recommendation from most physicians to "reduce risk"
Recipe for disaster.

Epigenetics is proof that nature does not only select life.
It moulds it.

Shoes.
Coats.
Chairs.
Beds.
In the name of comfort & ergonomics, the more these things do for your body, the less your body has to do for itself.
Ultimately, this makes you less resilient.
Buyer beware.

Anti-vax doesn't even begin to describe how little faith I have in allopathic medicine.
Do your worst.

Friendly reminder that the more you remove your body and mind from a natural environment, the more dis-ease you will experience.
Then, your doctor will try to blame it on genes and prescribe a medication that will only make things worse.

One of the more disgusting experiences during my training was a mandatory "lesson" in which a corporate shill tried to convince us that patients are "customers."
Patients are not customers.
Medicine is a spiritual calling.
Corporatism is at the core of the rot.

Skin burns when it is depleted of the capacity to transduce sunlight into electrochemical current.
Do not poison your skin with refined food, artificial light, and sunscreen.
Feed it. Nourish it. Love it.

✍️ An Ode to Cholesterol
Cholesterol gets a bad reputation - particularly LDL.
We dislike it because we find it insinuated within the lining of our arteries.
We blame it for shortening our lives.
It is important to remember the function that the LDL serves.
It is patching up all the damage you are doing to your body.
Where inflammation and tissue damage go, LDL follows. It is part of the healing process.
So, the next time you want to throw shade at LDL, remember what your blood vessel would look like without it.
Inflamed, fibrotic, leaking, and throwing clots. You'd stroke out in no time.
Improve your habits, and thank your cholesterol for keeping you alive this long.
