It is easy to get confused about all the COVID-19 boosters. New variants of the virus keep popping up, with vaccine makers in hot pursuit. There is not enough time to do the usual human testing before releasing each new one. The BA-5 bivalent shot has only been tested in eight mice—no humans. But Dr. Anthony Fauci is not concerned about it. The technology is basically the same as the earlier shots, and we supposedly know that they are “very safe.” After all, we don’t test the new flu shot every year. But vaccine expert Dr. Paul Offit is hesitant…

AAPS invites you to attend a “Marxism in Medicine” webinar on November 3, 2022, at 7:00 PM EDT. A woke cultural revolution has achieved dominance in medicine and other U.S. institutions.

By Jane M. Orient, M.D. The Biden Administration is planning to reinstate rules withdrawn by the Trump Administration that add gender identity to nondiscrimination protections. It would also expand requirements to include any providers who accept Medicare Part B. It’s not altogether clear what this will mean. There is no evidence that transgender or gender-nonconforming persons are failing to get prenatal care or delivery of babies, treatment for heart attacks, gall bladder surgery, trauma care, or other types of care that all types of patients might need—though it is possible that some caregivers might use the “wrong” pronouns. The issue…

I hope you are resuming normal life. But should you again hunker down because of yet another infectious disease threat? The head of the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr. Tedros (not a medical doctor), has declared that monkeypox is a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” (PHEIC), overriding the majority of his own expert committee of medical and scientific advisors. It just so happens that there are two vaccines available. The government is paying to produce millions more doses. Should you grab one as quickly as possible? One thing you should definitely do is abstain from sex with anyone except…

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) filed its amicus brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit on Friday against the Biden Administration’s mask mandate on airplanes and other public transportation. The court is hearing Biden’s appeal from the April federal district court decision that invalidated his mask mandate. “Mask mandates are tyrannical, and Congress never authorized the CDC to require travelers to wear masks,” stated Andrew Schlafly, General Counsel of AAPS. “Mask mandates infringe on two fundamental rights: freedom of speech and freedom of travel,” he argued in AAPS’s amicus brief. The Biden Administration…

By Elizabeth Lee Vliet, MD – https://www.truthforhealth.org/ The World Health Organization declaration of Monkeypox as a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” (PHEIC), was made by one man, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who has no medical training, over the objection of the majority of his own expert committee of medical and scientific advisors. Nine of the committee members thought a PHEIC should not be declared and six supported a declaration. “Nine and six is very, very close. Since the role of the committee is to advise, I decided to act as a tie-breaker,” Tedros said in a news conference…

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) decries the political prosecution and conviction of conservative Steve Bannon. After being denied his right to call House committee members at trial, a D.C. jury found Bannon guilty today under 2 U.S.C. § 192 of contempt of Congress. “Political prosecutions are what dictatorships do, and should never happen in the United States,” declared Andrew Schlafly, General Counsel of AAPS. “Being a supporter and adviser to Donald Trump is not a real crime.” Steve Bannon as a private citizen was targeted by the House Select Committee while spending millions of dollars for more…

In a statement issued July 20, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) objected to the rule issued by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that allows pharmacists to, in effect, practice medicine by prescribing and dispensing Pfizer’s drug Paxlovid on their own order. “The FDA does not have the statutory authority to regulate the practice of medicine,” the statement reads. “It is up to the states to perform this function, which includes defining the scope of practice of various practitioners.” “Pharmacists are not trained or qualified to diagnose or treat disease. They lack medical school and residency training.…

Volume 78, no. 8 The AAPS Educational Foundation has filed suit against the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), the American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology (ABOG), the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM), and Alejandro Mayorkas, in his official capacity as the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The lawsuit concerns defendants’ “unprecedented campaigns to censor speech that they falsely disparage as ‘misinformation’ or ‘disinformation’” (tinyurl.com/y3arw78t). “Defendants wrongly misuse their authority in a politically partisan manner to chill speech….  Defendants have acted in an apparently coordinated manner, using similar timing and terminology, to censor those who…

I hope you are able to find what you need—essential shortages are likely. One thing not in short supply is COVID boosters—and possibly mandates to get them. The promise that the vaccines would end the pandemic has proved to be a false hope. The graph below shows that in Canada the most vaccinated people experience the most cases. https://twitter.com/Golden_Pup/status/1549173809521074177?s=20&t=yjPcqPeaAyzP0XWAenV-dQ This shows the absolute number of cases, so the reason for fewer cases in the unvaccinated could be simply that there are not many unvaccinated people left. But clearly, the “one and done” concept didn’t work, and now we might only…

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revised its Emergency Use Authorization of Paxlovid on July 6, 2020, to allow pharmacists to practice medicine by prescribing and dispensing Pfizer’s drug on their own order. The FDA does not have the statutory authority to regulate the practice of medicine. It is up to the states to perform this function, which includes defining the scope of practice of various practitioners. Authority to expand the EUA in this way is claimed to be derived from the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act, which the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has…

AAPS mourns the passing away after a long illness of Dr. Vladimir “Zev” Zelenko, who inspired physicians to save millions of lives by treating Covid-19 early with hydroxychloroquine.  Dr. Zelenko’s courageous stance in favor of patients and the ability of physicians to treat them will forever live on in his name. As misguided public health authorities demanded that physicians not use hydroxychloroquine and other inexpensive medications for treating patients early for Covid-19, Dr. Zelenko did not waver in his dedication to patients.  He generously shared his “Zelenko Protocol” with all other physicians, thousands of whom used it to save the…

In a stunning reversal of two Courts of Appeals, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously overturned their decisions in prosecutions of physicians who were denied a full good-faith defense in connection with their prescription of pain medications. One of the physicians had been sentenced to 21 years in prison, while the other physician received a 25-year sentence. The Supreme Court agreed with the position taken in the amicus brief filed by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), which urged allowance of a good-faith defense. “Physicians should not be placed in a Catch-22 of denying patients pain relief or facing…

The issue in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade, is whether the Supreme Court of the United States has the authority to repeal medical-practice-related laws of 50 States, says the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS). “The federal government has no constitutional authority to regulate the practice of medicine,” states AAPS executive director Jane Orient, M.D. “The Constitution has no explicit provision establishing a right to abortion. This supposed right was not ‘found’ until 1973, when Justice Blackmun perceived it to be hidden in emanations and penumbras.” In its amicus brief, AAPS noted that…

By Jane M. Orient, M.D. An exemption is something people get from military service or jury duty—a civil obligation that serves the common good, that is, the good of everyone. Everyone benefits when the country is secure from a hostile invasion, and from having a guaranteed right to trial by jury. Not everyone is fit to serve, and some have more important obligations, or conscientious objections. Therefore, we allow for exemptions even though people have a civic duty to participate in essential functions if they can. But for medical treatments, the person prescribing the treatment must get permission. Operating on…

Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) announces its support for emergency physician and founder of America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) Simone Gold, M.D., J.D.,who  has been sentenced by Judge Christopher (“Casey”) Cooper to 60 days in federal prison, a year’s supervised release, and a fine of $9,500, the largest fine ever imposed on Capitol demonstrators, for the misdemeanor charge of entering a restricted building on Jan 6. Dr. Gold was in Washington, D.C., by invitation to speak about COVID-19 at a Rally for Health Freedom on the East side of the Capitol. After all the speeches were canceled without explanation,…

By G. Keith Smith, M.D. – https://surgerycenterok.com As government is telling us where we can go and how we must behave during the COVID pandemic, we must have faith that our government cares about our health. Right? Government and medical practice can be blended and work well together, right? Before we grant government more control over our well-being, I believe we should look at how it has cared for us in the past. In the 1920s, the federal government deliberately poisoned, by some counts, 250,000 Americans. There was never even an acknowledgement, much less an apology. As its interdiction efforts…

This article was previously published September 20, 2015, and has been updated with new information. Most people believe losing weight follows a simple equation: eat less, move more. But this simply isn't true, and Zoe Harcombe's book, “The Obesity Epidemic: What Caused It? How Can We Stop It?” is the most comprehensive document I've ever seen that exposes this fallacy. If you've ever been curious why a calorie isn't a calorie, this is a must-read book. Harcombe has a Ph.D. in public health nutrition, and her book provides a detailed analysis of the historical reasons behind the calorie myth, and…

According to Google engineer Blake Lemoine, a Google artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot application called LaMDA, short for Language Model for Dialogue Applications, has achieved sentience, or independent self aware consciousness.1 LaMDA is a chatbot system based on advanced large language models that mimic human speech by analyzing text from the internet. Large language models can predict which word should come after another, based on context, for example. LaMDA technology is widely used in conversational search queries and auto-complete emails. Is There a Ghost in the Machine? But some now believe the system has “matured” beyond the ability to create logical…

Fiona Lashells is an 8-year-old second grader who lives in Florida. She made the local1 and national news2 when she was suspended an outrageous 38 times for standing up for her right to do something that isn't supported by data or science in a school system — wearing a mask. The New York Post described Lashells as a “recalcitrant student,”3 who apparently knew and exercised her rights better than most. July 30, 2021, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis4 issued an executive order ruling that school districts could not require students to wear masks. However, in defiance of authority, the Palm Beach…

This article was previously published April 23, 2015, and has been updated with new information. Aside from water, tea is the most commonly consumed beverage in the world.1 In the U.S., black tea is by far the most popular, but green tea (which accounted for just 14% of the tea consumed in America in 20152) may have particularly powerful health benefits. Regardless of variety, black and green tea (as well as oolong, dark and white teas) come from the same plant, an evergreen called Camellia sinensis. It is the processing method and degree of oxidation (exposure to oxygen) that creates…

The published science over the past decade has taught us a lot about water fluoridation, about both the very real and significant side effects inflicted on the public, but also about the credibility of those who continue to vouch for its safety. At this point, the question we must ask isn’t whether the overwhelming risks outweigh the theoretical scant benefits, or whether more research is needed to draw strong conclusions. No, the only appropriate question now is: How much more harm will the promoters and regulators of fluoridation allow the practice to inflict on the public? Without the Fluoride Action…

As reported by Organic Insider,1 the GMO industry — which is funded, propped up and defended by the tech and chemical industries — is now seeking to replace animal products such as beef, poultry, dairy and fish with synthetic biology, cultured meat, precision fermentation, cellular-based and gene edited foods. Companies involved in creating these kinds of fake foods even participated in this year’s Natural Products Expo West, which has historically been reserved for all-natural and organic companies. Alan Lewis, vice president of advocacy at Natural Grocers commented on the presence of food-tech companies at the 2022 Expo:2 “It seems that…

This article was previously published November 11, 2011, and has been updated with new information. The science is loud and clear: The correct balance of fatty acids is essential if you want to be the healthiest you can be. That means that maintaining a healthy ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is important for optimal health. Ideally, you want to maintain a 4-to-1 ratio, or less. However, studies show that most people are consuming as much as a 12-to-1 ratio, which can be attributed to the consumption of too much α-linolenic acid (ALA), the primary sources of which are vegetable oils…

Mushrooms have been used in traditional medicine for decades. But it wasn't until 1970 that mushrooms were officially distinguished from flora and recognized in their own biological kingdom.1 Researchers have discovered fungal threads that exist below the surface of the soil play a key role in promoting healthy foods.2 Those threads are called mycelium and are part of the reproductive stage of fungi. Growing mycelium can break down lignin found in plant material, improve the soil or warn plants of an imminent attack. In fact, mycelium has been described as “the internet of the forest, the wood wide web, the…

In recent weeks, media outlets around the world have started highlighting a medical phenomenon called “sudden adult death syndrome,” or SADS, in what appears to be a clear effort to obscure the reality of COVID jab deaths. SADS is also short for “sudden arrhythmic death syndrome,”1 which was first identified in 1977. Underlying factors for SADS (both the sudden adult death and sudden arrhythmic versions) include undiagnosed myocarditis, inflammatory conditions and other conditions that cause irregularities in the electrical system of the heart, thereby triggering cardiac arrest.2,3,4 While SADS has been known to occur before, what’s new is the prevalence…

Professor Mattias Desmet, a Belgian psychologist with a master’s degree in statistics, gained worldwide recognition toward the end of 2021, when he presented the concept of “mass formation” as an explanation for the absurd and irrational behavior we were seeing with regard to the COVID pandemic and its countermeasures. He also warned that mass formation gives rise to totalitarianism, which is the topic of his new book, "The Psychology of Totalitarianism." Desmet’s work was further popularized by Dr. Robert Malone, whose appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast was viewed by about 50 million people. But as the search term “mass…

This article was previously published April 15, 2013, and has been updated with new information. A slew of media reports encouraging you to eat more fish have surfaced lately, following the publication of a study on omega-3 fats and health. The research, published in The Annals of Internal Medicine,1 suggests that eating oily fish once or twice a week may increase your lifespan. Naturally, there's still the issue of environmental pollution and contamination, which was not addressed in this study. Do the benefits of eating fish really outweigh the risks of contamination? In my view, I believe the benefits CAN…
