A nice labcoat, some production value, and some basic health points (nutrition, exercise) wrapped up to make it seem different, then you sell the expensive tests and "personalized treatments" for the magic "imbalancing" problem that only you can diagnose. No controlled studies, no population models, and like $10k a pop all in. I'm sure he's made a ton of money. But anyone who knows basics about drug-receptor theory, general pharmacology and, basic evidence-based science is going to know it's a scam from a mile away. And frankly, I could care less if you believe me or not. I'm not asking for your money. But yeah we aren't going to let you put your medical Miss Cleo videos up and look the other way like it's adding value either.

It's more than just "balance your toxins man." American medicine is give the patient a label then give them meds to mask their symptoms. Functional medicine is finding (and fixing) the underlying cause of these symptoms. Doctors get paid to see patients and prescribe meds. Oh you're diabetic? Don't fix your diet just take Metformin! I’ll be sure to let all the Type I diabetics know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’d be something to go through medical school and residency just to tell fat people they need to eat better since you don’t wanna mask their symptoms. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, my hospital in upstate NY is supposed to have enough vaccines for every employee by early-to-mid Jan. I was vaccinated last Friday.

WizeGuy Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Have we heard of any severe allergic reactions to the Moderna vaccine like we did wigh Pfizer? I know for a fact a lot of our employees have recently been vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine over the past week, so I have to think we've vaccinated a ton of people with it throughout the counry. At least enough to start seeing those reactions pop up, but I haven't heard a peep about it which is a bit crazy to me since it's so similar to pfizer.
