Good article. We must learn to do our own research instead of believing every white coat that works with big pharma and $$. Question everything!

Thank you! Too much of the Continuing Education is via Big Pharma that has hidden agendas!

I did.. my son was born in 1985.. so you know I ticked them off. they were not used to "sass" by the "patients".. eventually they figured out I worked in medicine.. but I didn't let them know that. why blow my cover? . and you know what happened? WE THRIVED.

There have been several Substack authors pushing the rat poison narrative. The first one I saw probably a year ago was someone who goes by Agent1xxxxx (can’t remember the other digits).

Isn’t it interesting they go by a pseudonym!

It was then I was sure the guy is controlled opposition. Follow them long enough and they eventually expose themselves by concocting BS like this.

Yes, I guess I should appreciate when they reveal who owns them!

that is an interesting but way too complex explanation about Vit D in women.. yes I did take a look at it. but as usual.. any time I try to concentrate on ANYTHING THE VERY EXTREMELY NEEDY PEOPLE in my life seem to call. I will tell one thing that happened to me. I do have my Vit D tested because I have a good doctor, a female and good friend. When I had my second son.. he was 'kept' in or they Alexandria hospital at that time attempted to KEEP HIM there and put him under the Bililights because he was two weeks early,, which I found suspicious.. long story on that. WELL, my friend, I was not leaving the HOSPITAL WITHOUT MY SON. PERIOD.

So I arranged to be special area of the hospital until his so called bilirubin levels were so called normal: it was low normal range. I went to his crib and counted 16 pick needle marks in his tiny little heel and called the Nurse (pediatric unit) said: PACK HIM UP.. I am leaving AMA with my son. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH. I breast fed my oldest son.. no problem.. until he was close to a year. Joe was born in June early June. They were extremely pissed , and I said SEE YA. I will nurse him (I had a hard time nursing him there because the nurses were constantly THE WAY)

let's put it that way.

I got him home.. and I could post a photo.. I have one,, of me with him sitting on top my tummy.. in the SUNLIGHT.. it was a warm spring w/ him and me getting our share of VITAMIN S-U-N ... that is D. The pediatrician had the BALLS (I will be polite) "temerity" to suggest it was an enzyme in my breast milk. I said "b.s".. SEE YA AT THE NEXT VISIT and I PREDICT HIS BILIRUBIN IS NORMAL.. and so it was! fine. And so it is! ALL WAS WELL. MOM AND BABY THRIVED and he is a strong grown man now. :) I would write more about this Vitamin D but I do take D3 because I have not been going out like I used to do.. and my diet has changed for the worse.. VERY INTERESTING article.. Thomas. Hope all is well with you. .and your family.
