The Story at a Glance: The claim in one breath. Modern medicine explains illness with two stories — genes and germs. A third, the exposome (the lifetime load of chemicals a body absorbs, including the ones we’re prescribed and injected), is real, large, and badly undercounted. While it may not itself replace germ theory, it at least deserves to sit alongside it.
The DSM5, the most recent version of psychiatry’s diagnostic bible, makes it possible to classify grieving that endures beyond a rather brief span of time as a mental illness.
As the world processes her final words, French biostatistician Christine Cotton — a 25-year Big Pharma insider — has left this world after exposing what many are calling the crime of the century.
An article about a Swiss study of the “The doctors are baffled” type sought to find out why incidence of colo-rectal cancer was increasing in younger people.
Conventional medical wisdom (and as I was taught at medical school 40 years ago) holds that medicine is a science, and since science involves measurements, the more we measure, the better we are able to diagnose, track and treat health and illness.
The prevailing climate change narrative took a big hit in recent days as scientists who comprise the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change back away from their more outlandish 21st-century climate predictions. [some emphasis, links added]

Kew Gardens is rapidly becoming the new Heathrow as the favoured Met Office site for producing unnatural heat spikes in place of true, uncorrupted ambient air temperatures.
This has been very carefully orchestrated from the outset [some emphasis, links added]. There is, of course, nothing “extraordinary” about temperatures of 32°C or 33°C, as were forecasted at the time. The intention was to put that impression into people’s minds.
Here is a question for you: Why haven’t you ever seen a climate change protest before the Chinese embassy anywhere? Why is it always the US or capitalism messing up the environment? Why don’t they show up at all when China is a bigger threat to clean air than any US city? [some emphasis, links added]
Modern “outbreak” narratives always begin with a synchronized script: healthcare providers are issued urgent warnings to actively search for illnesses associated with a specific, high-profile “pathogen.” The industrial machinery of fear relies on a single blueprint, deployed in rapid succession.
Over the last several weeks, headlines and social media influencers have been whipping themselves into a frenzy over the Andes strain hantavirus outbreak tied to the M/V Hondius cruise ship.
