I am enjoying your book. It is well written and full of great information. I suggest you take the time to read Dissolving Illusions by Suzanne Humphries and Roman Bystrianyk. Their well researched book may change your beliefs regarding vaccines.
I'm so glad you're addressing this issue. Many of us in the health professions have been raising these concerns, but I don't think we fully grasp just how deeply corporate monetary interests have compromised sound health policy. Congratulations on your recent nomination! If confirmed, I hope you'll seriously consider taking steps to remove high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) from our food supply. I recently wrote an article explaining why this is critical, but I'm sure you're already aware of its impact. I believe this single measure could lead to an immediate reduction in the obesity crisis.
Don Quixote sans mental illness, or with mental illness? It's easy to diagnose but impossible to treat. I fear there is no cure, just a mad rush of science and medicine to keep up with the treatment of symptoms made by mankind. The little Dutch boy with his finger in a hole in the dam.
The experts were terribly wrong when they predicted herd immunity in 2021 and yet they have yet to admit their mistakes. That contributes to the lack of trust in our health care system.

thank you Marty for this. went to HS in Baltimore :) We appreciate you in this fight to save our profession and the health of the nation. Hope they are not bullying you out of Hopkins. I have thick skin having faced so much push back and resentment trying to reverse T2D and obesity...but my skin getting thinner :(
I wouldn't agree that emergency care runs like a whistle, but I take your meaning that the system is designed for acute care and for everything else we are solving the wrong problems in the wrong way. In addition to nutritional and environmental issues, I think emotional/stress based health issues are poorly understood and poorly managed. I also think that many people go into medicine to prove to someone that they are "good". Pair that with shame and fear-based education and I think people get conditioned to blend in and incredibly uncomfortable with the threats and uncertainty that comes with being labeled unprofessional that inevitably happen when you challenge the existing system, even though we all know it's shit.
Marty is a smart guy and his first book was great. But, at least in this excerpt, he makes claims, that as trained epidemiologist, he knows are flimsy and unproven. For example, the study on Cesarean section and colon cancer is observational and can't prove causation. Obviously, an RCT on this question is impossible. Much of what he says is true or at least plausible, particularly on our food and diet, but it seems to me that many of his claims are far from proven yet. Still, I think he does a good asking the right questions.
I looked briefly at the linked study on c-sections and colon cancer. They found no association for the overall group and no association for males. When they looked at females, they found a small association. To site that article in a suggestion that c-sections are related to early onset colon cancer seems a stretch at best. It seems to me that the article was stretching to find any "positive" outcome because "negative" outcomes don't get attention.
Why are mRNA injections still in use?

I’m reading this now and loving it.
A whole food plant based diet, exercise, sleep..... 👍👍👍

The same could be said for salt or fluid restricted diets in HF patients. Medicine is replete with axioms that have no evidentiary base.

Seems like there is some confirmation bias to get for me - new book on the "to read" list :-D .

This is a breath of fresh air. Thank you for putting this discussion out in the public sphere!
Careful... you're beginning to sound a lot like RFKjr. They might lable you as an anti-science heretic now😉
Great article, now please do a deep dive into each of these topics
