"Americans are paying billions to take drugs that don’t work." More than 40% of U.S. children are chronically ill. Medical misdiagnosis causes permanent harm and death to 795,000 people every year.

Medical Failure: The U.S. spends nearly twice the per-capita amount on healthcare than the next highest spender, yet Americans are the most chronically ill, and rank 48th in life expectancy.

“Dead Last: Americans Pay the Most for Worst Health Outcomes, Study Finds”

The U.S. healthcare system ranks last among 10 advanced economies, according to a report released today by the Commonwealth Fund. Americans live the shortest lives and have the most avoidable deaths despite paying more for healthcare than the other nine countries.

The Idea that Establishment Medicine has had Progressive Success is a “Fairy Tale Written by the Pharmaceutical Industry”

Rosy histories of medicine that portray slow and steady progress over centuries are fairy tales written by the pharmaceutical industry. The actual history of medicine is several thousand years of failure followed by a brief Golden Age (from about 1945 to 1970, with some notable disasters including thalidomide and DES) followed by capture and collapse into sadism and organized crime led by the biowarfare industrial complex. I’m grateful for the doctors in the resistance who challenge this Leviathan. We must do everything in our power to support them. We also must continually seek alternative paths to health and well-being outside of traditional power structures.

Conventional (Allopathic) Medicine: A Corrupt & Failed System

1. Failed Health Outcomes (you’re here) — The U.S. spends nearly twice the per-capita amount on healthcare than the next highest spender, yet Americans are the most chronically ill, and rank 48th in life expectancy, among other countries. In addition, medical misdiagnosis causes permanent harm and death to 795,000 people every year.

2. Verifiably Corrupt — Establishment medicine as a system* is verifiably corrupt, serving the interests of industry — not health. (*Obviously, not every individual working in establishment medicine is unethical. Rather, the system that educated / indoctrinated them, and that sets policy, hires, pays, and promotes them is verifiably corrupted.)

3. Big Pharma & Biotech: Immoral Business Model — Corporations, by design, are beholden to profit above all else, acting as powerful entities that are “essentially psychopathic and without conscience.” Pharmaceutical and biotech companies are the utmost example of corporate psychopathy, demonstrating inhumanity in response to human suffering.

4. Regulatory & Professional Betrayal — Government agencies entrusted to regulate the field of medicine fail to do so. The majority of influential professional organizations such as the American Medical Association are corrupted by industry.

5. Not Evidence/Science-Based — The bulk of establishment medicine’s standard of care is not based on unbiased, reproducible science. (We prove it here.)

6. Harms by Drug and Diagnostic — Establishment medicine providers routinely utilize diagnostic testing and “treatments” that cause harm (“adverse”, “side” effects). Get verifiable evidence of the harms, organized by drug, treatment, or test (mammograms, CT scans, antibiotics, statins, benzos, etc).

7. Failed Philosophy & Strategies — Allopathic medicine (also called conventional medicine, Western medicine, and Rockefeller medicine) was created to exploit the profit potential of drug patents. Born from a compromised report published in 1910, this system does not acknowledge the conditions under which the human body creates health, nor does it seek to identify and resolve the root causes of illness. On the contrary, it suppresses symptoms with drugs, creating more symptoms and distracting efforts from true healing. Diagnosis is disconnected from the wisdom inherent in the purpose and message of symptoms.

8. What’s the Impact from Creating More than 90,000 Diagnoses? — Establishment medicine’s diagnosis system (the ICD-10-CM) is 22 chapters and 288 sections, with more than 90,000 possible diagnoses. The U.S. Dept of Health & Human Services takes another 115 pages to document accompanying rules. Naming constellations of symptoms vs. identifying root causes: how has it impacted health?

Healthcare Failure: Overview

Scroll down for evidence categorized as follows:

1. A Medical System that Kills & Maims

2. Death Rates Have Increased

3. Children are Chronically Ill and Dying

4. Severe and Chronic Diseases Have Skyrocketed

5. A System that Has Degraded Peoples’ Lives

A Medical System that Kills & Maims

Medical system errors + treatment (iatrogenic harm) kill, maim, and reduce quality of life

1. “Nearly one in five hospitalized adults are harmed or die each year due to a diagnostic error, according to a study of more than 2,400 patients… published Jan. 8, 2024, by JAMA Internal Medicine. But the true incidence is likely to be far higher, since the vast majority of diagnostic mistakes probably aren’t recorded, Dr. Bates says.” [source]

2. “Prescription drugs are the leading cause of death. And psychiatric drugs are the third leading cause of death. [2024]” [source]

3. The U.S. healthcare system is a leading cause of death. A 2016 report from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine shows that medical errors in hospitals and other healthcare facilities are incredibly common, and may now be the third-leading cause of death in the United States — claiming 251,000 lives every year, more than respiratory disease, accidents, stroke and Alzheimer’s.” [source and source]

4. “Adverse drug reactions alone are responsible for over 100,000 deaths annually in the U.S., making them one of the top causes of death related to medical treatment. Furthermore, surgical complications contribute to prolonged hospital stays for 15% of patients undergoing procedures.” [source]

5. “BMJ study finds 1 in 3 patients harmed by surgical medical errors… A 2024 study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) on surgical safety has revealed that more than one-third of patients experience complications during or following surgery, with a significant proportion linked to preventable medical errors.” [source and source]

6. “Every day, roughly 93 kids in Australia go to the emergency room for medication-related adverse events, including unsafe off-label use, unexpected drug interactions, accidental poisoning, or overdoses from common household medicines like Tylenol.” [source]

7. “Researchers found that 27.8% of patients treated for UTIs were incorrectly diagnosed, meaning they received antibiotics without meeting the criteria for a true UTI… Of those incorrectly diagnosed, more than 80% continued to receive antibiotics on the third day of hospitalization — well past the 48- to 72-hour window when doctors are advised to reassess diagnoses… The consequences are often serious. Antibiotics disrupt the gut microbiome, leave patients vulnerable to new infections like C. diff and accelerate the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.” [source and source]

Death Rates Have Increased

1. Pregnancy-related deaths of U.S. mothers increased between 2018 and 2022, from 25 deaths to 32 deaths per 100,000 live births. [source and source]

2. “Young Americans are dying at unprecedented rates.” [source]

3. Americans rank 48th in life expectancy. [source]

Children are Chronically Ill & Dying

Once the Beacon of Health, Children are Now Chronically Ill and Dying

1. “Children and teens in the U.S. are dying at higher rates than their peers in 16 other high-income countries, according to a research letter published Monday in the journal JAMA Pediatrics. The U.S. infant mortality rate consistently exceeds those of other high-income countries.” “The infant mortality rate in the United States rose in 2022… More than 20,500 babies died in 2022 before the age of 1.” [source and source and source]

2. More than 40% of U.S. school-aged children are chronically ill. [source]

3. 77% of young Americans aged 17 to 24 are unwell and incapable (ineligible for military service) due to physical health, academic, and/or social and behavioral reasons. [source]

4. “The prevalence of chronic conditions has skyrocketed to unprecedented levels over the past two decades, with almost 1 in 3 young people between the ages of five and 25 estimated to be living with a medical condition that significantly affects their lives.” [source]” The most common examples include asthma, ADHD and prediabetes, which develops into full diabetes over time and leads to an increased risk of heart disease, nerve damage and kidney failure.” [source and source]

5. In England, children under the age of 18 going to the hospital for mental health issues increased 65% in a decade. [source]

6. “NHS ‘overwhelmed’ by soaring autism as number of patients jump by a quarter – more than 200,000 Britons seeking specialist help.” [source]

7. “U.S. ranks near bottom of advanced nations in child wellness, new report finds. [2020]” [source]

8. “10,000 stories: The sickest generation of children… Kids have so many problems today. There are all the developmental disorders besides just autism. There’s ADD/ADHD, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), pathological demand avoidance (PDA), global developmental delay (GDD), oppositional-defiant disorder (ODD), dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia and loads of behavioral conditions. Add to that all the chronic conditions, things like asthma, life-threatening allergies, diabetes, anxiety, seizure disorder and juvenile arthritis.” [source and source]

9. “Once considered mainly an adult disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease has taken a striking turn as a risk for children and adolescents… The term metabolic dysfunction-associated liver disease (MAFLD) has become the replacement moniker… The rate of MAFLD in children has doubled over the past 20 years and is continuing to grow.” [source and source]

Severe and Chronic Diseases Have Skyrocketed

1. A new high number of Americans are so impaired as to be declared disabled. [source and source]

2. “‘The UK’s heart health has declined more quickly at the start of the 2020s than in any other decade for over 50 years,’ British Heart Foundation warned.” [source]

3. “Cancer rates continue to climb [in the U.S.], with over 2 million new cases reported in 2024.” [source and source]

4. “Nearly 47% of U.S. adults have high blood pressure, while heart disease kills one person every 34 seconds. This accounts for approximately 700,000 deaths annually in America.” [source and source]

5. Despite trillions of dollars spent on healthcare every single year, Americans are chronically sick. “95% of the America’s $4.5 trillion in annual healthcare expenditures is for people with chronic and mental health conditions.” [source]

6. In the U.S., “autism rates in kids are 1 in 36 nationally, compared to 1 in 1500 in the not-so-distant past. 74% of American adults are overweight or obese. Close to 50% of children are overweight or obese. 50% of American adults have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, when only 1% of Americans in the 1950s had the disease. 30% of teens now have prediabetes. Infertility is increasing…
