We are still on the Carnivore Challenge but I decided it was time for a post not about Carnivore.
This is a thinking post, meaning I want you to think, and then let me know in the comments if you agree or disagree with what is written below. If you are not ready to think, then at least read the rest of the post. Perhaps it may give you another perspective on the healthcare system.
I will be back to Carnivore in a following post shortly.
So I read a thread from a healthcare professional where he discussed the many problems in today’s healthcare system.
Can you believe that? There are actually problems in our healthcare system 🫤🫤
You can find the entire thread at this link.

Big Pharma pays for most research.
Heart attacks were nearly nonexistent until processed foods were introduced into the average person’s diet.
If a Dr. blames cancer on meat, find a new doctor.
Dietary factors are the #1 cause of death.
Alzheimer's and Dementia are not a part of the natural aging process.
The average med school offers less than 20 hours of nutritional education.
Healthcare is the only profession where you can charge someone $500 for 10 minutes of pretending to pay attention to them.
You can get your blood work done yourself. You don’t need an MD referral.
Physicians and healthcare staff have one of the highest burnout rates of any industry.
But the monopolies created by large healthcare systems make it nearly impossible for them to find work elsewhere.
The algorithms used throughout healthcare are engineered to maximize profit.
And minimize care.
The medication system is effective at keeping you alive, dependent, and with a low quality of life.
Not to make you healthier.
Healthcare will always bend the knee to the government.
Thus making healthcare employees second-class government employees.
Healthcare systems often have required quotas on the number of patient visits each day.
If your doctor gets irritated when you ask questions, find a new doctor.
Big Pharma funds medical schools.
Of course a medication-first approach is going to be part of the indoctrination.
Medications are often prescribed over and over again.
WITHOUT any analysis if something is a new symptom or a side effect of another medication.
Before you know it, you’re on 10+ medications with no idea how you got there.
Hospitals are run by administrators with little to no patient care experience.
Their priorities are far from providing patients with the best care.
But in maximizing profits.
Nutrition is so critical to managing disease that when a Dr. doesn't bring it up with their patients, it's a sign they have no idea themselves.
Surgery should be your last option.
Not your first.
Over the next few years, you will see:
• Less patient care
• Staff shortages + healthcare burnout
• Increased financial pressure on medicare/medicaid
• An aging population put massive pressure on the system
The above was from Chris Boettcher, chrisboettcher9 on Twitter or X or whatever you prefer to call it.
I usually write all my own stuff but his thread was worth adding here and I give him all the credit for putting this together.
But now that it is here, I ask again, do you agree with his 20 points?
How is the IMW doing in relation to his 20 points?
Let me know in the comments below.
Knowledge is power. The power to be your own advocate and to make decisions that will provide us with a better quality of life. Thank you Dr Horvitz for instilling that mind set.

1) Whatever the government tells you to do under the guise of public health look who is making the $ then do the opposite.
2) If a Doc tells you a DX cancer and immediately prescribes Chemo options ask him how much money they are making off of that option and if there are others.
I would say if you have are DX with cancer to follow more natural options but to each his own
