Oh this one cracks me up too "which is euphemistically dubbed idiopathic, a fancy-schmancy word for 'we don't know what caused your illness and, truth be told, have little interest in finding out'". Absolutely consistent with my experience. I was told by various medical professionals that I was wrong (yeah - I didn't know something was up with my own body) or it was all in my head.
Yup, absolutely. Took me a while, but I finally figured that out. If you don't fit their textbook model, they think the problem is you, not the textbook or themselves!
My doctor, just yesterday told me that my high blood pressure that is not responding to his drugs or my natural treatments, is idiopathic. I had to ask him what it meant. During the same session he told me I am the only case of long covid he, or anyone in the practice, has come across. Yup.
Thank you for bringing together the elements of lifestyle that are so critical to our bodies functioning properly. As awful as COVID was to the world, we needed that big fat spotlight shown on the evils of the globalists and the medical establishment that caves to their dictates.
I am glad that you highlighted the recent fluoride study and its connection with ADHD…a huge and over treated problem in the US.
The scamdemic really was a gift to those of us who've been preaching this message of self-responsibility for health for years, and having that message fall on deaf ears because the medical industry had done such a good job of marketing THEIR message.
I like the closing 3 questions to ask. To point 3, I would add 'under-exercising' as I think many aches, pains and conditions result from a digital, sedentary lifestyle. Also to gauge stress, anxiety and depression levels, how is the mental and emotional condition.
You're 100% correct about underexercising; in fact I've now added that in. There's a lot of research demonstrating that the less active and muscularly strong people are, the more pain they report.
I see stress, anxiety and depression as the results of failure to obtain the requirements for health rather than entities unto themselves. For example, depression is failure feedback. It's the consequence of failure to achieve a valued goal, or losing something/someone of value. Having social support that helps us reorient to another, more achievable goal is what gets us out of depression.
I'm glad that makes sense to you. I think it's counterproductive to talk about 'stress management' rather than 'solving the problems that created the stress'.
Love it! And this totally cracked me up! "To be fair, Western medicine doesn't actually promise to make you well". So true!!! Just dependent on drugs and sicker....
I don't think most doctors really want their patients to be dependent on drugs; they just genuinely don't know any other way to treat them, because their education is so drug-focused. I'm sure most of them don't even realise that they spend zero time during their entire lengthy medical education, learning about health.

'All in your head' is code for 'I don't have the time, skill, patience or interest to investigate the symptoms you're describing to me.'
Yup, absolutely. Took me a while, but I finally figured that out. If you don't fit their textbook model, they think the problem is you, not the textbook or themselves!

Reeaaally? I think you need a new doctor!!!!
Alan Goldhamer at TrueNorth Health Center has a remarkable record for normalising blood pressure; see https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0161475401855755 and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12470446/.
He's also finding great success in treating long COVID and vax injuries: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVvuEI1sdKc

Yes, good points about stress, anxiety and depression and I can understand why they aren’t included in the 3 questions to ask.

Agree.
Here's a potentially entertaining way of looking at the abject failure of medicine - certainly left field...
