let me guess… You believe in the holy FDA bible. which includes taking bribes, suppressing evidence of harm in medical studies, and outright ignoring advice about harmful medicine until the death toll gets publicized.

No shit. it’s really depressing seeing all of those filthy pedophiles and nazis getting sexually aroused by dead kids.

and even more depressing watching 2/3rds of Americans refusing to deal with 80 million terrorists in America.

A girl’s best friend. now with extra thrusting power and the ability to choke and/or pull hair.

nope. however your bible does clearly state that people like me should be stoned. so go ahead. try it. 🖕

Safe like the hundreds of FDA approved drugs that later turned out to be deadly? or safe like the FDA approved drugs that were found to be placebo effects? safe like the pills that have more warning labels on them than a nuke? or safe like the e-stims used by physical therapists that ended up hurting patients because there weren’t limits set on their usage?

oh and my personal favorites since you mentioned them. all of the FDA approved supplements that turned out to be terrible. like the Modern Warrior Ready capsules.

Some of the FDA’s biggest fuckups: opioids-- addiction Diethylstilbestrol (DES), 1971 – cancer Bextra, 2005 – toxic epidermal necrolysis which had a 50% lethality rate Vioxx, 2004 – the FDA ignored evidence of harm for years Fen-Phen, 1997 – the FDA ignored reports of horrific side-effects until a woman died Darvon/Darvocet – it took the FDA 50+ years to remove this after approving in it 1957

other fuckups by the FDA: slow response to contaminated baby food approving known risky drugs like Aduhelm allowing purposefully misleading marketing in 2017 an FDA inspector found serious issues with a Chinese manufacturing plant. superiors in the FDA ordered the issue to be ignored and even suppressed. Pharma kickbacks for approval of drugs (Pharma pays FDA to approve without testing) FDA director who took bribes to approve aspartame The protein scandal in China where the FDA knew that the tested samples were being spiked and the FDA looked the other way letting around 300000 children get sick, with around 54000 hospitalized and 6 babies died.

The FDA has a history of ignoring recommendations from advisory committees, taking bribes to let drugs pass inspection, and even knowing buries evidence of fraud in medical trials.

A physical therapist can leave you paralyzed after a single visit. you going to call them hacks and refuse to use them as well? and are you going to use contaminated medication just because the FDA says it’s safe? cause that’s the logic you are using.

My facts come from published medical journals. not the first page of google which is mostly AI slop, paid advertisements, and “studies” that were all debunked or discredited weeks after being published.

but it’s ok. I know that most people can’t spring for the money needed to access Medical Journals (only about 28-30% of medical journals are open sourced and free).

Half the time when I read a medical journal that says that anything other than Western Medicine (pills and chemicals) are run by quacks… the study is paid for Big Pharma (obviously they will rarely publish anything that doesn’t profit them). and 25% of the time… within a year there are multiple studies and medical journals published debunking the first one. the rest of the time the Medical Journals state that while Alternative medicine doesn’t cure cancer or cure incurable diseases, the alternative medicines can slow down symptoms. Every Medical Journal I have found published over the last decade has even stated that Wholistic Chiropractors (different from mainstream chiropractors) can treat the aftermath of injuries including broken bones and torn muscles more effectively than Physical Therapy.

What most people criticize chiropractors for is feeling pain after a session. most of the time what really happens is that the body gets shocked and remembers to start using a muscle that it has been bypassing due to nerves screaming in pain. sure it does hurt at first sometimes… but it’s like taking a new medication. you have to tailor the dose and type of medication to your specific situation. a doctor often tries multiple medications over time until one works since not everyone responds the the same medication the exact same way. chiropractors do the same thing. they make an adjustment, see how your body responds, and modified their approach till it works.

take Citalopram for example. In most cases it helps as an antidepressant. but there are cases where it doesn’t work or makes things worse. or say different cancer treatments… same thing happens. not everyone responds to the treatment the same way 100% of the time.

Most people go to a Clinical style of Chiropractors which works for some but not others. and when that chiropractor’s particular style doesn’t work. they say all chiropractors are bad. it’s like eating a bad batch of shrimp and saying that all shrimp are bad.

I’ve gone to 7 different chiropractors over a 20 year period. the Clinical ones that use tools… they don’t work for me. my skin literally crawls after adjustments and my knee always hurts afterwards. But the wholistic ones that press on pressure points and make small adjustments to the spine and use that pogo stick looking tool (idk it’s name) they work for me… no skin crawling and no joint pain. it’s just that the closest one to me currently… is about 60 miles away. too far to drive over and back once a week. My best friend… any time she goes to a more clinical chiropractor, she’s fine. but wholistic ones don’t work well for her.

was trying to forget how cool Amos was (and those biceps…) Amos was a giant (violent towards assholes) teddy bear.

the word yes. but the practice of stretching and massaging muscles and shifting bones back into place has been around longer than your precious white man doctor has existed. or do you deny that China had doctors, masseuses, and the equivalent of a chiropractor for over 2000 years.

and let me guess… the answer is: you deny anything that isn’t in the bible.

My favorite part of the series is James Holden’s response to being put in charge of everything at the end. the biggest “fuck you in particular” of the entire series.

I can be very specific: Jamaica Hospital June 14th 1946
