Hippocratic Hypocrisy : A collaborative film by Spacebusters and Dr. Andrew Kaufman about how authentic medicine was hijacked by the power elite and turned into a deadly , sickness for profit industry .
Written by : Dr. Andrew Kaufman and Steven S. Busters Produced by : Spacebusters Technical advisor : Rosco S. Busters Also available at SpaceBusters on YouTube and at Dr. Kaufman ’ s website .
This tale of two snakes is the story of how medicine in the United States , and eventually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ commerce business enterprise with the central goal of creating and maintaining illness throughout the population for profit .
We have been kept from fully developing our potential to reason , our intuition , to become enlightened and to be the godlike beings that is our true nature .
Animal man can be domesticated and controlled .
Enlightened man can not .
The unholy trinity of corporate allopathic medicine , which is our mainstream medical system today — utilizing synthetic Big Pharma drugs , surgery and radiation — drains the body ’ s corpuscles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ symptoms through synthetic drugs instead of targeting the cause of disease and removing it .
What causes disease or cellular dis-ease ?
Toxic industrial environments .
Toxic foods .
Over-acidic diets .
Polluted air and water .
Prolonged states of mental stress and emotional distress .
Lack of sleep .
Drugs .
Alcohol .
Cigarettes .
Electrosmog .
Heavy-metal poisoning .
Vaccines .
And even prescription drugs .
The Rod of Asclepius has been the exoteric symbol for medical healing since as far back as 1400 to 1200 BC .
He was the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ healing , immortalized forever in the stars as Ophiuchus , the serpent holder standing on the male genital phallus and corpuscle destroyer , Scorpio , which we ’ ll cover in the plot twist at the end of this film .
It is the staff with the single snake , completely misunderstood exotericly , to be a symbol of the snakes possession of anti-venom against its own poisons and its ability to shed its skin and renew — an exoteric symbol of longevity and immortality .
But in 1902 a captain in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the Rod of Asclepius and he proposed the adoption of the caduceus as the Medical Corps official symbol .
The two-snake caduceus is the symbol of the Roman god Mercury , whereas the one-snake rod is the symbol of Asclepius .
Before 1902 , the caduceus was used as a symbol for commerce and companies in printing , as Mercury or Hermes was the messenger of the gods .
It was used in mining , chemistry and metallurgy , as alchemy was a hermetic science .
Exotericly Mercury is the god of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , thieves and tricksters and is represented by two serpents to show the opposing meanings of polarization .
One snake is the healing — remediating and curative — the upward flow of living corpuscles from the spleen to the cerebral crown chakra , supporting positive energy , inner development and enlightenment .
The other serpent is the poisonous , debilitating , drainage of the living corpuscles away from the higher-self , body and mind .
It is this second serpent that has infiltrated medicine .
It has convinced us that paying for poison @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It is no accident that this symbol was first adopted by the army .
The bogus germ theory , driving allopathic medicine , states that microorganisms invade our bodies and require military defense .
This model of disease , the warfare model , where illness comes from an uncontrollable enemy outside of us , necessitates a drug from the medical machine as our only chance of survival .
We fight this imagined enemy with chemical weapons and machines , just as any warfare .
Allopathic medicine blames these enemy diseases on bad genes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cancers , unexplained autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases , and many more — always outside of our control with causes unknown and no ability to address or reverse ourselves .
Thus , we are dependent on the medical system to rescue us .
How did this happen ?
In 1847 the American Medical Association was founded .
The largest association of medical students and physicians — both doctors of medicine and doctors of osteopathy , which is a type of alternative medicine — much of which is now said to have no therapeutic value @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cartel .
From the very beginning , the AMA urged all state governments to adopt measures to register all births , marriages and deaths , which is a form of commerce itself — the way shipments are registered to port authorities as property of the receiving country ’ s government .
In 1897 the AMA incorporated into a private corporation and by 1899 they were already pushing for mandatory , untested smallpox vaccinations .
Then , in 1901 , the AMA started a committee on national legislation , starting the trend of non-elected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In 1905 they created the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry to set standards for drug manufacturing and advertising , asking drug companies to show proof of effectiveness of their drugs or pay corrupt bribes to “ Doc ” Simmons in order to advertise those drugs in the Journal of the American Medical Association .
They basically became the first drug catalog sales reps. Obviously , drug manufacturers had great incentive to get in good favors with “ Doc ” Simmons and the AMA , later known as the Big Pharma revolving door .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ when the AMA founded the Council on Medical Education to regulate medical schools and what type of medicine could be taught in them .
As osteopathic and homeopathic medicine had no commercial profit incentive to these snakes , they had to go .
From its earliest inception , the American Medical Association has had one principal objective : attaining and defending a total monopoly of the practice of medicine in the United States .
From its outset , the AMA made the unholy trinity of allopathy the basis of its practice .
Allopathy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prevalent 19th century School of Medicine , the practice of homeopathy .
The AMA is one of the biggest frauds in history , involved in medical bribery , racketeering , corruption , coercion , and deception .
The former quack heads of the organization — like the failed journalist “ Doc ” Simmons , who never attended a medical school or worked for an actual hospital , and his protege Dr. Morris Fishbein , an aspiring circus trapeze artist and part-time opera singer who never worked a day as a physician in his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Medical Association — were to set the standard for the disgraceful fraud still going on to this day .
You can find the shocking details of this in the first two chapters of the book Murder by Injection .
In 1907 the American Medical Association involved the Carnegie Foundation in elaborating a book-length study of medical education in the United States and Canada , also known as the Carnegie Foundation Bulletin , Number Four .
Its author , Abraham Flexner , was an ambitious educator , neither a physician nor a medical scientist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , employed by the Rockefeller Institute for medical research .
Later on , Flexner became the first director of the Rockefeller philanthropy programs in medical education .
Andrew Carnegie was regarded as the second richest man in history after John D. Rockefeller .
While Carnegie played a leading role in the American steel industry and education , Rockefeller was interested in the oil industry and medical research .
Flexner ’ s report was published in 1910 and the purpose was to improve the quality of medical service by establishing professional medical education based @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was accepted as science in the early 20th century ?
The theory of materialism — rising in the 17th century — holds that the only existing thing is matter , everything is composed of material and all phenomena ( including consciousness , human soul and spirit ) are the result of material interactions .
In other words , matter is the only substance .
Scientific materialism or physicalism became the philosophical position of the early 20th century .
The main statement of physicalism is that there are no kinds of things other than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was released , twice as many physicians practiced alternative medicine than conventional allopathic medicine , and medical knowledge was taught in small private schools all over the United States .
The report changed everything .
And backed by the police power of each American state , medical schools were obliged to follow the trends set by the Carnegie Foundation .
The Flexner Report stated that the human body belongs to the animal world .
It is put together of tissues and organs .
It grows , reproduces itself , decays , according to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attack by hostile physical and biological agencies .
Small medical schools were either closed or merged into universities financially supported by large industrial companies .
In less than 10 years the number of medical schools dropped from 650 to just 50 .
The number of medical students decreased from 7500 to 2500 and they were unable to afford the high education fees .
The report included a detailed regulation of medical education and pharmacology as the only solution against dreadful diseases .
According to the present day consequences of this report , no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ permission of government and medical research adheres fully to the protocols of scientific research of the 1910s — materialism , medication and vaccination .
Supply of physicians were restricted , incomes of the remaining practitioners raised , and conventional medical schools began to be centralized .
in 1997 the WHO obtained full control over medicine , as the validity of the Flexner report extended worldwide .
And what was the long-term result of reforming medical education and practice ?
Hardly any news on the media .
According to the 2003 medical report Death @ @ @ @ @ @ @ United States die every year from conventional medicine mistakes .
This is 16,400 % of the victims of September 11th , 2001 — the equivalent of six jumbo jet crashes a day for an entire year .
A hundred and six thousand of these deaths each year are from prescription drugs .
The United States spends 282 billion dollars annually on deaths due to medical mistakes or iatrogenic deaths .
According to a 1995 US iatrogenic report , the annual automobile accident mortality rate is 45,000 people .
On the other hand , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in hospitals and 280,000 of these cases result in death .
In 2004 the US spent 1.4 trillion dollars , 15,5 % of the GDP , on health care .
More than one third was paid to the pharmaceutical industry .
In 2010 alone , the top 20 pharmaceutical companies profited the equivalent of $ 97 per person times six billion people .
Back in 2001 Pfizer was the number-one most profitable company — with 7.8 billion dollar profit — of all the Fortune 500 companies .
In 2002 the combined profits of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fortune 500 were nearly 36 billion dollars .
That is more than the profits of the other 490 businesses put together .
After a hundred years , we must raise the question : what went wrong ?
Despite the huge amount of money accumulated by the pharma industry , there are more dreadful diseases and sick people today than ever .
You will find the answers in the Flexner Report — a document that created and enabled the terms of a centralized medical system and the pharma industry to take over the control @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s the problem with compartmentalized allopathic medicine .
Imagine your car doesn ’ t work because it ’ s out of gas and has a dead battery .
The allopathic , Big Pharma approach is to charge you big money to send five people to push your car .
And then they say ‘ See , it ’ s moving .
We ’ ve fixed it.
’ Sure it ’ s moving , but not very fast .
Nothing inside works without power and you won ’ t make it more than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ too tired to push , no matter how much you pay them .
A mechanic wouldn ’ t fix a blown engine valve or gasket leaking oil by telling you to just add more oil every day .
That would be stupid .
You have to fix the cause .
But this logic is perfectly normal in modern medicine .
We end up with specialists and general practitioners trained in which symptoms hint at which specific part of the physical anatomy may be in dis-ease — but have zero non-specialized education in nutrition @ @ @ @ @ @ @ biology , naturopathy , homeopathy , exercise , psychology or any other sciences that can tell them how to diagnose and eliminate the cause of cellular dis-ease .
So out of ignorance and frustration , they are left with three unholy options .
Most synthetic drugs circulate through the entire body and have a chemical effect on every biological system in the body , not just the specific area of cellular dis-ease they are meant to help .
While they may sometimes help the problem area , they simultaneously disrupt perfectly working functions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Have you ever noticed the dozens of side effects listed on drug inserts or at the end of commercial disclaimers ?
This is why : [ Commercial for Chantix ] Talk to your doctor to see if a drug twenty times more dangerous than smoking is right for you ?
Then these “ side effects ” require more drugs to balance the new problems caused by the first drug .
And on and on this vicious circle goes .
Because these drugs relieve symptoms , but don ’ t eliminate the cause of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on their meds for life — raking in huge repeat customer profits for the big pharma snakes .
After enough neglect — cells , tissues and organs eventually die , putrefy and go into sepsis — inducing internal bacteria to eat you alive .
Rather than addressing and reversing the reasons why , the allopathic strategy is to just remove parts or all of various organs , or even hack off the limbs — not stop the cause .
And when the dis-ease expresses itself again , they ’ ll just cut out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s nothing left of you to cut out anymore .
But don ’ t worry , your insurance will pay for it .
And , if not , they ’ ll take your house and life savings in return for the “ favor ” .
Surgery has been around since ancient times .
And there are brilliant trauma , heart and transplant surgeons — and others — saving millions of lives when absolutely no other option is left .
This is in no way meant to attack them .
But allopathic medicine is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of them so often .
You already know about the effects of acute radiation syndrome on cellular biology .
To even discuss the absurdity of this allopathic form of medical treatment , as some sort of cure for cellular dis-ease , is an insult to human intelligence — sheer lunacy .
So we won ’ t even bother going there .
If your doctor even suggests this — run very far and fast .
“ A better thing to talk about , however , is the relationship between profits and cancer .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ study that was published — I believe it was in 1994 — it was a 12 year program , 12-year study .
They looked at adults who had developed cancer as an adult — not childhood cancer , but adult cancer .
Right ?
This is the main type of cancer that we get here in the United States .
They did a meta-analysis of these people , all around the world , who developed cancer as adults for 12 years and were treated with chemo .
They looked at the results and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Clinical Oncology .
And the results ?
Ninety-seven percentof the time chemotherapy does not work .
Ninety-seven percent of the time it doesn ’ t work .
So why is it still used ?
It ’ s one reason and one reason only .
Money .
If you go to a medical doctor , an MD , with a sinus infection and that doctor prescribes an antibiotic , he gets no financial kickback .
Now if he prescribes 5000 , you know , of that antibiotic in one month , the drug @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Cancun for a conference .
Right ?
But he gets no direct remuneration .
It ’ s not… with chemotherapeutic drugs it ’ s different .
Chemotherapeutic drugs are the only classification of drugs that the prescribing doctor gets direct cut of .
So , if your doctor prescribes chemotherapy for you , here ’ s how it goes , more or less : The doctor buys it from the pharmaceutical company for five thousand dollars , sells it to the patient for $ 12,000 .
Insurance pays nine thousand dollars and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ difference .
And there ought to be a law .
The only reason chemotherapy is used is because doctors make money from it .
Period .
It doesn ’ t work !
Ninety-seven percent of the time !
If Ford Motor Company made an automobile that exploded 97 % of the time , would they still be in business ?
No .
This is the tip of the iceberg of the control that the pharmaceutical industry has on us .
We — most people — have no idea of this at all now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s called The MD Emperor Has No Clothes .
Right ?
In my book , I have a bulleted list of 10 questions that every cancer patient could ask their doctor .
Ten questions .
I ’ ve had patients checked out , literally kicked out of the oncologists office , because the doctor was p-o ’ d that the patient was asking them these questions .
And these are just common sense questions .
Cancer treatment in the United States — we have lost the war on cancer .
We have lost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is not a reductionistic phenomenon .
Cancer is a holistic phenomenon .
When you try to bring a reductionistic methodology , like drugs and surgery , to bear on a holistic phenomenon , you will completely miss the boat each and every time .
Medical doctors are like colorblind art critics .
They can see that that ’ s a boat — they can see the black and white outline — but they ’ re completely blind to all of colors and textures that make up the substance of the thing .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The reason that people get cancer in the United States , and the reason that we have completely lousy outcomes , is because medical doctors are driving the research bus .
When women get together and do a 5k run for breast cancer , all of that money — do you think any of that money goes to nutritional research ?
Do you think any of that money goes to homeopathic research ?
Or acupuncture ?
Or traditional Chinese medicine ?
Or naturopathic research ?
No .
All of it goes to drugs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Now , why aren ’ t those women running for selenium ?
If every girl in this country took 200 micrograms of selenium , in one generation we ’ d eliminate breast cancer by 82 % .
Why aren ’ t we doing that ?
Because medicine in the United States is a for-profit industry and most people are completely unaware of this .
And most people bow down to the altar of MD-directed high-tech medicine.
” Chemotherapy is in fact nitrogen mustard , the cell killing compound used to make chemical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and II , Why does it have a 97 % failure rate ?
It doesn ’ t just kill cancer cells .
it kills all cells .
The exoteric correlation between the caduceus and our double helix DNA can not be ignored — as DNA alteration is the target of Bill Gates and the current Big Pharma vaccine cartel — set to become the world ’ s first medical mafia trillionaires .
By either coincidence or conspiracy , at the very same time the WHO and NGOs were giving out hundreds of millions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Africa .
The continent erupted with the biggest autoimmune disorder epidemic in known history .
What wasn ’ t free , and ended up indebting several African governments , were the hundreds of millions of PCR tests already manufactured to test for the new unheard of autoimmune disorder called HIV/AIDS .
And the bogus-treatment-drug AZT — called one of the most toxic , expensive and controversial drugs in the history of medicine — this disease may result in the deaths of 90 million African people by the year 2025 .
We saw the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ epidemic and hundreds of thousands of paralyzed children coincided with a mass polio vaccination campaign there .
And today , we can now recognize the same alarming pattern happening with the blatant fudging of statistics and the orchestrated villainization of the common cold and flu — to force a worldwide multi-trillion-dollar profit vaccination agenda .
“ There ’ s no paper that shows , based on its experiment , that this virus causes anything .
So there ’ s not one paper and the conclusion that said ‘ as a result of this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this virus is the cause of this disease ’ .
So that ’ s not even stated in the literature as a conclusion .
But if , in fact , if you look at the methods that they use to supposedly isolate viruses , they ’ re doing no such thing whatsoever .
And this was really something that I learned about only in studying this illness , because I had looked into germ theory , and I knew germ theory had lots of experiments that disproved it .
And that it was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pervasive in medicine .
But what I ’ ve ultimately come to learn is that they discovered a technique that essentially has these culture cells decay .
And they say that that ’ s proof that a virus is causing the decay of those cells .
But , in actuality , they ’ ve never run a control experiment .
And what they ’ re doing is taking those cells and giving them inadequate nutrition , and exposing them to toxic chemicals .
And so , that ’ s the reason the cells @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the only thing that they say that proves a virus .
So they ’ ve not actually isolated any virus whatsoever .
They have shown that they can do this isolation technique in bacterial viruses .
They call them bacteriophages .
And they ’ ve shown that they can use this technique to isolate exosomes .
And the technique is fairly simple .
You just filter out these small particles and then you put them through a centrifuge to have them segregate together based on their density .
And then you hold a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ look at them under the microscope .
You can characterize them chemically .
You can take out the genetic material and sequence it .
And they ’ ve done these experiments for exosomes and bacteriophages .
But they ’ ve never done it for a virus .
And the simple reason is because there must not be any virus , that exists , that causes disease .
So they have this other procedure that just shows damage to cells in a culture and they say that that ’ s evidence of a virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ astounding when I uncovered this .
Because it ’ s not just in the studies for the SARS-CoV-2 virus that , you know , they say is associated with COVID-19 , but it ’ s true for every single virus paper that I ’ ve looked at for any type of virus .
So really , there ’ s really no evidence that any virus that is alleged to cause a disease has ever been isolated , or proven to cause any disease whatsoever.
” “ Yeah and here we see this response @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interesting thing , like you mentioned exosomes .
And in one of the first discussions that I heard you talk about this , you mentioned the fact that , well actually , when you look at an exosome , you look at its makeup , you look at the way it reacts and its characteristics , and then you look at COVID-19 .
Well , you go , well hey , it ’ s actually exactly the same thing .
So they ’ ve basically taken this normal part of our immune system @ @ @ @ @ @ @ toxicity in the cells , and categorize it as this terrible pandemic .
And it ’ s going to appear in basically anybody who ’ s stressed or got toxicity in the cell .
So it ’ s a total win-win situation for them .
But there appears that there is no virus at all .
They ’ re simply , you know , re-diagnosed or re-labeled , part of our immune system .
And the response has been like , you know , it ’ s been over-the-top .
Absolutely over-the-top .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ death figures for this year , it ’ s less deaths this year than it has been for the last five years .
And no one seems to be dying of anything else anymore.
” “ Well , essentially — see what what they ’ re seeing under the microscope — it could very well be exosomes because they ’ ve they pretty much created a recipe to make exosomes .
Because they ’ re usually using monkey kidney cells for this purpose and they ’ re mixing it with antibiotics .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ induce exosomes .
But the thing is that these cells are basically dying cells and they ’ re putting out all kinds of debris .
And early on , in the study of virology , they actually really wrestled with this problem and pretty much gave up on trying to find a virus — until this new technique that I described was invented .
So we could very well be seeing pictures of exosomes when we see those pictures But they could also be other kinds of cellular debris particles .
The thing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know because they ’ ve never taken those particles and then purified them and characterized exactly what they are .
So that ’ s really never been done .
And what you ’ re talking about with the test — the test is a little bit different because the PCR test , which is the main test , it doesn ’ t test for a virus at all .
What that tests for is a sequence of RNA , which is genetic material .
And the way they obtain that is also — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like the lung fluidn ithis case , from some people who are sick or possibly a throat swab .
And they amplify short little sequences .
And sequences that they ’ re specifically looking for mostly because they have this library of gene sequences of viruses .
But the thing is , if you go back , they ’ ve always characterized them this way .
So they ’ ve never once had a intact virus particle and then sliced it open and taken the RNA out and done a sequence from end @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been done .
What they do instead is , they take this impure sample and they look for specific sequence that they ’ ve pre-identified as being viral in nature from this database .
And then what they ’ re doing is amplifying these short little sequences — maybe 150 to 250 base pairs — and they ’ re splicing them together into this one long strand of 30,000 which they say is the viral genome .
But it ’ s actually just this Frankenstein-type of assembly of all these little pieces that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ proof they ’ re related .
They could even come from different types of cells or different creatures .
And when there ’ s gaps , they ’ re basically using sequences that they get from that database of other viruses that are also put together in this Frankenstein-type way .
And they sew all those together , you know , and say that this is the sequence , the genome sequence of this virus .
And that ’ s the procedure .
And that ’ s — they ’ re testing for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t really know what it is .
Except it ’ s most likely our own sequences .
So that ’ s why there ’ s so many positive results , because they ’ re essentially testing our own genetic sequences.
” In other words , more medical fraud for profit and control by keeping people in fear and ignorance of the truth — the promised plot twist .
Which is the actual , secret , hidden and misunderstood esoteric meaning of Mercury — the metaphoric symbol representing the higher mind , spirit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his caduceus are actual two hemisphere cerebrum , spinal cord , cerebrospinal fluid and two snakes representing the two sensory and motor nervous systems of our body , through which we experience everything .
The science of epigenetics states that what you are thinking is translated by the brain into body chemistry that will determine what you physically become .
As Dr. Bruce Lipton explains , the function of Mercury or mind is to create coherence between what we believe and the physical reality that we experience .
If you believe there ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ released into the blood will prepare the cells to engage in a protection area response .
But if the perceived threat is imaginary stress , emotion or worry from an imbalanced mind , our cells don ’ t know if a threat is real or not — because cells only respond to the chemicals .
They do not see the real external environment .
If we believe we are under threat or stress , we manifest stress in our cellular physiology , even though the environment in which we live is not really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , whether they are right or wrong are actually changing our cellular biology through his caduceus .
What we think we become .
Signal plus protein equals behavior .
So when our behavior is not supporting health or us , we can say we are expressing dis-ease .
So it ’ s either defective proteins or the signal causing disease .
Defective proteins lead to defective functions creating disharmonious behavior in your cells which can cause disease .
Which is why a COVID-19 vaccine , using electroporation to fuse foreign bat or pig @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new protein instruction codes , is most certainly going to lead to both disease and your demise .
Luckily for those wise enough to reject the new RNA/DNA recombinant COVID-19 vaccines , flawed protein expression genes caused less than 1 % of all natural disease .
The signal causes up to 90 % of all dis-ease .
How can it interfere with health ?
Trauma — physical damage to the brain , spine or parts of the body related to the nervous system — can interfere with the flow of information from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ communication and leading to a misunderstanding by the responding cells — because the signals are altered .
Toxins cause disease by interfering with the propagation of the signals from the brain to the cells .
If we put toxic elements into our body , including vaccine adjuvants and even toxins from eating industrial farmed food , these toxic chemicals can engage in the signal pathway .
But if they do , they don ’ t promote a normal signal propagation .
Toxic chemistry can distort the signal .
If the brain is sending @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there ’ s toxic chemistry in the pathway , then the signal that reaches the cell is altered , and then the behavior of the altered cell can lead to disease .
But the real secret of Mercury mind , is that our thoughts become translated into chemistry that can either cure or create disease .
A dis-ease caused by thought is not because the body is defective , it ’ s because the signal is inappropriate .
Because this esoteric science is hidden — consciousness , emotion , worry and stress are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ health on this planet .
Too many people are sending inappropriate signals at inappropriate times , leading to inappropriate behavior which we call disease or dis-ease .
The truth is that these are two sides to the same coin .
Physiologically , Mercury is the nerves and the cerebrospinal system .
The cerebrospinal system is the generator and carrier of physicochemical electricity , which is simply energy or life .
Our mind and the sensory nerves utilize the electrical energy of thought and the subtle nerve fluids in the cerebral spinal fluid .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mercury may do this beneficially and positively , or negatively and destructively .
Chemically , Mercury is quicksilver which , is an oily fatty substance .
the “ argentum vivum ” or “ living philosophical silver ” that rises back up from our sacrum to our cerebrum to be converted back to electricity infinitely if not wasted And as oil is the physical manifestation of energy , mercury or quicksilver , means the oil of life .
We are told by the AMA that a quack is a medical charlatan .
Takes one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is short for the 1570s Dutch term quacksalver or the German quacksalber , and the Danish quakzalver , meaning “ hawker of salve ” or oil or to rub with ointment .
Quakzalver sounds remarkably close to quicksilver .
Wouldn ’ t you say As usual , the snakes have inverted the true meaning of healing — for profit .
And that is the real reason Mercury is the father of merchants and thieves .
Mind , which is the father of thought , can actually rob the physical body by wasting living @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and physical merchandise — through riotous and gluttonous thought and living habits .
The “ brain esse ” [ esence ] and thought power or electricity constitute the true merchandise of every human body .
And thus , the job of the great physician Mercury , your mind , is to electrochemically heal all dis-eases .
Not just through pure thought and action , but through pure food sustenance and plant medicine on the physical plane .
The cerebrospinal fluid around our brain , spinal cord , and nerves , cushions those organs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blood and gets rid of toxic waste products .
It is a colorless , transparent alkaline fluid — 99 % water , 1 % monoatomic potassium — which creates healing and toxic-dissolving oils , glucose , protein amino acid molecules , enzymes , hormones , antibodies , etc .
It is how the brain talks to cells .
In esoteric biblical biochemistry , the healing Rod of Asclepius is the staff of Moses .
The electrical seed germination that creates the healing corpuscles of the cells ( created in our spleen ) that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nerve endings , brought down to the spleen from the cerebrum ( or Aries the lamb or Ram of God ) , also known as Brahma or Abraham , by Mercury , the messenger of the Godhead .
That is why Moses , or the electric seed of the corpuscles , is the descendant of Abraham , our cerebrum .
The winged caduceus of Mercury is the Tree of Life .
While the serpents represent the tree of knowledge of good and evil , or cellular ease and dis-ease , one is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ system , doing work pertaining to motion .
But perverted it becomes e-motion , meaning energy wasted , substance lost , death and dis-ease .
All around us today , we see its effect .
Humanity as a whole , floundering in chaos instead of harmony , lost in a sea of emotion — energy wasted , substance lost .
The blood corpuscles carry not only nutriment to every cell , but air as well .
Our cerebral cells , as well as all other cells , must be supplied with the proper @ @ @ @ @ @ @ free from acid accumulation and toxic poison .
Each individual has his own Tree of Life .
No one but himself can destroy that tree and no one but himself can cultivate it or supply it with nutriment .
There are links to details on this beautiful esoteric science in the description .
But know that oils neutralize and dissolve body toxins and poisons .
Water keeps fibers fluid and in motion .
Spirit ( electricity ) moves the body and the 12 mineral salts that manifest electricity to biology are the physical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And this is not the cause of disease .
At a glance , on the surface symbols , are just pictures that represent an idea in the consciousness of those who look at them .
But while we may think symbols are just pictures , they do act on our subconscious mind to bring about the desired influence of the sigil creator .
The actual intent of the symbol may be unknown to the viewer or even be inverted in its true meaning .
For example the peace symbol , or inverted Algiz @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that was inscribed on tombstones .
Death is peace .
The swastika had a positive meaning in ancient times .
Its Sanskrit name was svasktika , literally meaning “ it is ” , well being , good existence , and good luck .
For the Hindus it was a symbol for Vishnu and the Sun or , when inverted , Kali and magic .
Thus we can invert the meaning of the caduceus to serve our health , rather than drain our corpuscles .
In our current reality , war is peace , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and poison is medicine .
But it does not have to be that way , f we do not want it to .

TRANSCRIPT:
This tale of two snakes is the story of how medicine in the United States, and eventually the world, was subverted into a commerce business enterprise with the central goal of creating and maintaining illness throughout the population for profit.
We have been kept from fully developing our potential to reason, our intuition, to become enlightened and to be the godlike beings that is our true nature.
Animal man can be domesticated and controlled. Enlightened man cannot.
The unholy trinity of corporate allopathic medicine, which is our mainstream medical system today — utilizing synthetic Big Pharma drugs, surgery and radiation — drains the body’s corpuscles through medical treatment strategies based on suppressing symptoms through synthetic drugs instead of targeting the cause of disease and removing it.
What causes disease or cellular dis-ease?
Toxic industrial environments. Toxic foods. Over-acidic diets. Polluted air and water. Prolonged states of mental stress and emotional distress. Lack of sleep. Drugs. Alcohol. Cigarettes. Electrosmog. Heavy-metal poisoning. Vaccines. And even prescription drugs.
The Rod of Asclepius has been the exoteric symbol for medical healing since as far back as 1400 to 1200 BC.
He was the son of Apollo, the god of healing, immortalized forever in the stars as Ophiuchus, the serpent holder standing on the male genital phallus and corpuscle destroyer, Scorpio, which we’ll cover in the plot twist at the end of this film.
It is the staff with the single snake, completely misunderstood exotericly, to be a symbol of the snakes possession of anti-venom against its own poisons and its ability to shed its skin and renew — an exoteric symbol of longevity and immortality.
But in 1902 a captain in the US Army Medical Corps mistook the caduceus for the Rod of Asclepius and he proposed the adoption of the caduceus as the Medical Corps official symbol.
The two-snake caduceus is the symbol of the Roman god Mercury, whereas the one-snake rod is the symbol of Asclepius.
Natural Healing
Before 1902, the caduceus was used as a symbol for commerce and companies in printing, as Mercury or Hermes was the messenger of the gods.
It was used in mining, chemistry and metallurgy, as alchemy was a hermetic science.
Exotericly Mercury is the god of commerce, trade, merchants, outlaws, thieves and tricksters and is represented by two serpents to show the opposing meanings of polarization.
One snake is the healing — remediating and curative — the upward flow of living corpuscles from the spleen to the cerebral crown chakra, supporting positive energy, inner development and enlightenment.
The other serpent is the poisonous, debilitating, drainage of the living corpuscles away from the higher-self, body and mind.
It is this second serpent that has infiltrated medicine.
It has convinced us that paying for poison is the cure for cellular poisoning.
It is no accident that this symbol was first adopted by the army. The bogus germ theory, driving allopathic medicine, states that microorganisms invade our bodies and require military defense.
This model of disease, the warfare model, where illness comes from an uncontrollable enemy outside of us, necessitates a drug from the medical machine as our only chance of survival. We fight this imagined enemy with chemical weapons and machines, just as any warfare.
Allopathic medicine blames these enemy diseases on bad genes or evil germs, mysterious and deadly cancers, unexplained autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases, and many more — always outside of our control with causes unknown and no ability to address or reverse ourselves.
Thus, we are dependent on the medical system to rescue us.
How did this happen?
In 1847 the American Medical Association was founded. The largest association of medical students and physicians — both doctors of medicine and doctors of osteopathy, which is a type of alternative medicine — much of which is now said to have no therapeutic value and is labeled pseudoscience by the medical cartel.
From the very beginning, the AMA urged all state governments to adopt measures to register all births, marriages and deaths, which is a form of commerce itself — the way shipments are registered to port authorities as property of the receiving country’s government.
In 1897 the AMA incorporated into a private corporation and by 1899 they were already pushing for mandatory, untested smallpox vaccinations.
Then, in 1901, the AMA started a committee on national legislation, starting the trend of non-elected NGOs directing elected lawmakers policy decisions.
In 1905 they created the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry to set standards for drug manufacturing and advertising, asking drug companies to show proof of effectiveness of their drugs or pay corrupt bribes to “Doc” Simmons in order to advertise those drugs in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
They basically became the first drug catalog sales reps. Obviously, drug manufacturers had great incentive to get in good favors with “Doc” Simmons and the AMA, later known as the Big Pharma revolving door.
But the real horror started in 1904 when the AMA founded the Council on Medical Education to regulate medical schools and what type of medicine could be taught in them.
As osteopathic and homeopathic medicine had no commercial profit incentive to these snakes, they had to go.
From its earliest inception, the American Medical Association has had one principal objective: attaining and defending a total monopoly of the practice of medicine in the United States.
From its outset, the AMA made the unholy trinity of allopathy the basis of its practice.
Allopathy set up an intense rivalry with the prevalent 19th century School of Medicine, the practice of homeopathy.
The AMA is one of the biggest frauds in history, involved in medical bribery, racketeering, corruption, coercion, and deception.
The former quack heads of the organization — like the failed journalist “Doc” Simmons, who never attended a medical school or worked for an actual hospital, and his protege Dr. Morris Fishbein, an aspiring circus trapeze artist and part-time opera singer who never worked a day as a physician in his life, but somehow headed the American Medical Association — were to set the standard for the disgraceful fraud still going on to this day.
You can find the shocking details of this in the first two chapters of the book Murder by Injection.
In 1907 the American Medical Association involved the Carnegie Foundation in elaborating a book-length study of medical education in the United States and Canada, also known as the Carnegie Foundation Bulletin, Number Four.
Its author, Abraham Flexner, was an ambitious educator, neither a physician nor a medical scientist, but the brother of Simon Flexner, employed by the Rockefeller Institute for medical research. Later on, Flexner became the first director of the Rockefeller philanthropy programs in medical education.
Andrew Carnegie was regarded as the second richest man in history after John D. Rockefeller. While Carnegie played a leading role in the American steel industry and education, Rockefeller was interested in the oil industry and medical research.
Flexner’s report was published in 1910 and the purpose was to improve the quality of medical service by establishing professional medical education based on mainstream scientific principles.
But what was accepted as science in the early 20th century?
The theory of materialism — rising in the 17th century — holds that the only existing thing is matter, everything is composed of material and all phenomena (including consciousness, human soul and spirit) are the result of material interactions.
In other words, matter is the only substance.
Scientific materialism or physicalism became the philosophical position of the early 20th century. The main statement of physicalism is that there are no kinds of things other than physical things.
Before the Flexner Report was released, twice as many physicians practiced alternative medicine than conventional allopathic medicine, and medical knowledge was taught in small private schools all over the United States.
The report changed everything. And backed by the police power of each American state, medical schools were obliged to follow the trends set by the Carnegie Foundation.
The Flexner Report stated that the human body belongs to the animal world. It is put together of tissues and organs. It grows, reproduces itself, decays, according to general laws. It is liable to attack by hostile physical and biological agencies.
Herbs, homeopathy, chiropractic & massage were demoted as quackery.
Small medical schools were either closed or merged into universities financially supported by large industrial companies.
In less than 10 years the number of medical schools dropped from 650 to just 50. The number of medical students decreased from 7500 to 2500 and they were unable to afford the high education fees.
The report included a detailed regulation of medical education and pharmacology as the only solution against dreadful diseases.
According to the present day consequences of this report, no medical school can be created without the permission of government and medical research adheres fully to the protocols of scientific research of the 1910s — materialism, medication and vaccination.
Supply of physicians were restricted, incomes of the remaining practitioners raised, and conventional medical schools began to be centralized.
in 1997 the WHO obtained full control over medicine, as the validity of the Flexner report extended worldwide.
And what was the long-term result of reforming medical education and practice?
Hardly any news on the media.
According to the 2003 medical report Death by Medicine, 784,000 people in the United States die every year from conventional medicine mistakes.
This is 16,400% of the victims of September 11th, 2001 — the equivalent of six jumbo jet crashes a day for an entire year. A hundred and six thousand of these deaths each year are from prescription drugs.
The United States spends 282 billion dollars annually on deaths due to medical mistakes or iatrogenic deaths. According to a 1995 US iatrogenic report, the annual automobile accident mortality rate is 45,000 people. On the other hand, annually over a million patients get injured in hospitals and 280,000 of these cases result in death.
In 2004 the US spent 1.4 trillion dollars, 15,5% of the GDP, on health care. More than one third was paid to the pharmaceutical industry.
In 2010 alone, the top 20 pharmaceutical companies profited the equivalent of $97 per person times six billion people.
Back in 2001 Pfizer was the number-one most profitable company — with 7.8 billion dollar profit — of all the Fortune 500 companies.
In 2002 the combined profits of the top 10 drug companies of the Fortune 500 were nearly 36 billion dollars. That is more than the profits of the other 490 businesses put together.
After a hundred years, we must raise the question: what went wrong?
Despite the huge amount of money accumulated by the pharma industry, there are more dreadful diseases and sick people today than ever. You will find the answers in the Flexner Report — a document that created and enabled the terms of a centralized medical system and the pharma industry to take over the control of healthcare for profit.
“When we interfere with the processes of nature, and breed efficient plants and efficient animals, there’s always some way in which we have to pay for it. We do not really know how to interfere with the way the world is… The way the world actually is, is an enormously complex, interrelated organism. The same problem arises in medicine because the body is a very complex, interrelated organism.
And if you look at the body in a superficial way, you may see there’s something wrong with it. Here’s chicken pox. And there’s spots that itch that come out all over the place. Well, you might say ‘Well, spots are there. Cut ’em off,’ So you kill the bug. Well, then you find you got real problems. Well, then you think ‘Well now, wait a minute, it wasn’t the bugs in the blood. There are bugs all over the place. What was wrong with this person? His resistance wasn’t out there. For what you should have given him was not an antibiotic but vitamins… See, we always look at the human being medically, in bits and pieces, because we have heart specialists, lung specialists, bone specialists, nerve specialists and so on. And they each see the human being from their point of view. There are a few generalists, but they realize the human body is so complicated that no one mind can understand it.” ~ Alan Watts
And that’s the problem with compartmentalized allopathic medicine.
Imagine your car doesn’t work because it’s out of gas and has a dead battery.
The allopathic, Big Pharma approach is to charge you big money to send five people to push your car. And then they say ‘See, it’s moving. We’ve fixed it.’
Sure it’s moving, but not very fast. Nothing inside works without power and you won’t make it more than a few miles before those people are too tired to push, no matter how much you pay them.
A mechanic wouldn’t fix a blown engine valve or gasket leaking oil by telling you to just add more oil every day. That would be stupid. You have to fix the cause.
But this logic is perfectly normal in modern medicine. We end up with specialists and general practitioners trained in which symptoms hint at which specific part of the physical anatomy may be in dis-ease — but have zero non-specialized education in nutrition, biochemistry, plant medicines, molecular biology, naturopathy, homeopathy, exercise, psychology or any other sciences that can tell them how to diagnose and eliminate the cause of cellular dis-ease.
So out of ignorance and frustration, they are left with three unholy options.
Synthetic Drugs
Most synthetic drugs circulate through the entire body and have a chemical effect on every biological system in the body, not just the specific area of cellular dis-ease they are meant to help.
While they may sometimes help the problem area, they simultaneously disrupt perfectly working functions in other parts of our body.
Have you ever noticed the dozens of side effects listed on drug inserts or at the end of commercial disclaimers?
This is why: [Commercial for Chantix]
“Kurt quit smoking with Chantix and support. Talk to your doctor about Chantix and a support plan that’s right for you. Some people have had changes in behavior, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping Chantix. If you notice agitation, hostility, depression or changes in behavior, thinking or mood that are not typical for you, or if you develop suicidal thoughts or actions, stop taking Chantix and call your doctor right away. Talk to your doctor about any history of depression or other mental health problems which can get worse while taking Chantix. Some people can have allergic or serious skin reactions to Chantix, some of which can be life-threatening. If you notice swelling of face, mouth, throat or a rash, stop taking Chantix and see your doctor right away. Tell your doctor which medicines you’re taking as they may work differently when you quit smoking. Chantix dosing may be different if you have kidney problems. The most common side effect is nausea. Patients also reported trouble sleeping and vivid, unusual or strange dreams. Until you know how Chantix may affect you, use caution when driving or operating machinery. Chantix should not be taken with other quit-smoking products. ‘The urges weren’t like they used to be and that helped me quit.’ Talk to your doctor to find out if prescription Chantix is right for you.”
Talk to your doctor to see if a drug twenty times more dangerous than smoking is right for you?
Then these “side effects” require more drugs to balance the new problems caused by the first drug. And on and on this vicious circle goes.
Because these drugs relieve symptoms, but don’t eliminate the cause of the cellular dis-ease, many people are on their meds for life — raking in huge repeat customer profits for the big pharma snakes.
Surgery
After enough neglect — cells, tissues and organs eventually die, putrefy and go into sepsis — inducing internal bacteria to eat you alive.
Rather than addressing and reversing the reasons why, the allopathic strategy is to just remove parts or all of various organs, or even hack off the limbs — not stop the cause.
And when the dis-ease expresses itself again, they’ll just cut out more of you, until there’s nothing left of you to cut out anymore.
But don’t worry, your insurance will pay for it. And, if not, they’ll take your house and life savings in return for the “favor”.
Surgery has been around since ancient times. And there are brilliant trauma, heart and transplant surgeons — and others — saving millions of lives when absolutely no other option is left.
This is in no way meant to attack them.
But allopathic medicine is the reason we now need so many of them so often.
Radiation
You already know about the effects of acute radiation syndrome on cellular biology.
To even discuss the absurdity of this allopathic form of medical treatment, as some sort of cure for cellular dis-ease, is an insult to human intelligence — sheer lunacy. So we won’t even bother going there.
If your doctor even suggests this — run very far and fast.
“A better thing to talk about, however, is the relationship between profits and cancer. In the United States, there was a study that was published — I believe it was in 1994 — it was a 12 year program, 12-year study. They looked at adults who had developed cancer as an adult — not childhood cancer, but adult cancer. Right? This is the main type of cancer that we get here in the United States. They did a meta-analysis of these people, all around the world, who developed cancer as adults for 12 years and were treated with chemo. They looked at the results and they published the results in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. And the results? Ninety-seven percentof the time chemotherapy does not work. Ninety-seven percent of the time it doesn’t work. So why is it still used? It’s one reason and one reason only. Money. If you go to a medical doctor, an MD, with a sinus infection and that doctor prescribes an antibiotic, he gets no financial kickback. Now if he prescribes 5000, you know, of that antibiotic in one month, the drug company that makes it might send him to Cancun for a conference. Right? But he gets no direct remuneration. It’s not… with chemotherapeutic drugs it’s different. Chemotherapeutic drugs are the only classification of drugs that the prescribing doctor gets direct cut of. So, if your doctor prescribes chemotherapy for you, here’s how it goes, more or less: The doctor buys it from the pharmaceutical company for five thousand dollars, sells it to the patient for $12,000. Insurance pays nine thousand dollars and the doctor pockets the four thousand dollar difference. And there ought to be a law. The only reason chemotherapy is used is because doctors make money from it. Period. It doesn’t work! Ninety-seven percent of the time! If Ford Motor Company made an automobile that exploded 97% of the time, would they still be in business? No. This is the tip of the iceberg of the control that the pharmaceutical industry has on us. We — most people — have no idea of this at all now. I wrote a book it’s called The MD Emperor Has No Clothes. Right? In my book, I have a bulleted list of 10 questions that every cancer patient could ask their doctor. Ten questions. I’ve had patients checked out, literally kicked out of the oncologists office, because the doctor was p-o’d that the patient was asking them these questions. And these are just common sense questions. Cancer treatment in the United States — we have lost the war on cancer. We have lost the war on cancer. Why? Because cancer is not a reductionistic phenomenon. Cancer is a holistic phenomenon. When you try to bring a reductionistic methodology, like drugs and surgery, to bear on a holistic phenomenon, you will completely miss the boat each and every time. Medical doctors are like colorblind art critics. They can see that that’s a boat — they can see the black and white outline — but they’re completely blind to all of colors and textures that make up the substance of the thing. It’s no difference with cancer. The reason that people get cancer in the United States, and the reason that we have completely lousy outcomes, is because medical doctors are driving the research bus. When women get together and do a 5k run for breast cancer, all of that money — do you think any of that money goes to nutritional research? Do you think any of that money goes to homeopathic research? Or acupuncture? Or traditional Chinese medicine? Or naturopathic research? No. All of it goes to drugs and surgery — which do not work. Now, why aren’t those women running for selenium? If every girl in this country took 200 micrograms of selenium, in one generation we’d eliminate breast cancer by 82%. That’s a big number. Why aren’t we doing that? Because medicine in the United States is a for-profit industry and most people are completely unaware of this. And most people bow down to the altar of MD-directed high-tech medicine.” ~ Dr. Peter Glidden, ND
Chemotherapy is in fact nitrogen mustard, the cell killing compound used to make chemical warfare mustard gas n World War I and II,
Why does it have a 97% failure rate?
It doesn’t just kill cancer cells. it kills all cells.
It’s poison.
The exoteric correlation between the caduceus and our double helix DNA cannot be ignored — as DNA alteration is the target of Bill Gates and the current Big Pharma vaccine cartel — set to become the world’s first medical mafia trillionaires.
“They’re using a new technology for this vaccine, which they say allows them to develop it more rapidly. But, you know, they’ve developed it in record time. I mean, obviously they have developed this before– before the plandemic actually came to fruition. But what these vaccines are is, they have DNA. And they — using this technology called microporation, where they apply an electric current through two additional needles. And it causes little holes to open up in your cells, so that this foreign DNA can go into your cells and basically turn you into a genetically modified organism Now they say that the gene is the gene of a virus, so we’re gonna have our own cells making virus proteins and somehow that’s gonna trigger an immune response. You know, I don’t buy that at all. S,o what these genes are I don’t know. You know, I have some guesses because I know one of the goals of the vaccine is for infertility. Right? Because it’s all about population reduction.” ~ Dr. Andrew Kaufman
By either coincidence or conspiracy, at the very same time the WHO and NGOs were giving out hundreds of millions of free poisonous smallpox vaccines all over Africa.
The continent erupted with the biggest autoimmune disorder epidemic in known history.
What wasn’t free, and ended up indebting several African governments, were the hundreds of millions of PCR tests already manufactured to test for the new unheard of autoimmune disorder called HIV/AIDS.
READ… WHO Admits That Smallpox Vaccine Created AIDS/HIV
And the bogus-treatment-drug AZT — called one of the most toxic, expensive and controversial drugs in the history of medicine — this disease may result in the deaths of 90 million African people by the year 2025.
We saw the same trend in India when a polio epidemic and hundreds of thousands of paralyzed children coincided with a mass polio vaccination campaign there.
And today, we can now recognize the same alarming pattern happening with the blatant fudging of statistics and the orchestrated villainization of the common cold and flu — to force a worldwide multi-trillion-dollar profit vaccination agenda.
“There’s no paper that shows, based on its experiment, that this virus causes anything. So there’s not one paper and the conclusion that said ‘as a result of this study, we’ve determined that this virus is the cause of this disease’. So that’s not even stated in the literature as a conclusion. But if, in fact, if you look at the methods that they use to supposedly isolate viruses, they’re doing no such thing whatsoever. And this was really something that I learned about only in studying this illness, because I had looked into germ theory, and I knew germ theory had lots of experiments that disproved it. And that it was, you know, something that was pervasive in medicine. But what I’ve ultimately come to learn is that they discovered a technique that essentially has these culture cells decay. And they say that that’s proof that a virus is causing the decay of those cells. But, in actuality, they’ve never run a control experiment. And what they’re doing is taking those cells and giving them inadequate nutrition, and exposing them to toxic chemicals. And so, that’s the reason the cells are decaying. And that’s the only thing that they say that proves a virus. So they’ve not actually isolated any virus whatsoever. They have shown that they can do this isolation technique in bacterial viruses. They call them bacteriophages. And they’ve shown that they can use this technique to isolate exosomes. And the technique is fairly simple. You just filter out these small particles and then you put them through a centrifuge to have them segregate together based on their density. And then you hold a syringe or a pipette and you can look at them under the microscope. You can characterize them chemically. You can take out the genetic material and sequence it. And they’ve done these experiments for exosomes and bacteriophages. But they’ve never done it for a virus. And the simple reason is because there must not be any virus, that exists, that causes disease. So they have this other procedure that just shows damage to cells in a culture and they say that that’s evidence of a virus. And it’s really quite astounding when I uncovered this. Because it’s not just in the studies for the SARS-CoV-2 virus that, you know, they say is associated with COVID-19, but it’s true for every single virus paper that I’ve looked at for any type of virus. So really, there’s really no evidence that any virus that is alleged to cause a disease has ever been isolated, or proven to cause any disease whatsoever.” ~ Dr. Andrew Kaufman “Yeah and here we see this response, which is unprecedented. And the interesting thing, like you mentioned exosomes. And in one of the first discussions that I heard you talk about this, you mentioned the fact that, well actually, when you look at an exosome, you look at its makeup, you look at the way it reacts and its characteristics, and then you look at COVID-19. Well, you go, well hey, it’s actually exactly the same thing. So they’ve basically taken this normal part of our immune system, which is just a response to toxicity in the cells, and categorize it as this terrible pandemic. And it’s going to appear in basically anybody who’s stressed or got toxicity in the cell. So it’s a total win-win situation for them. But there appears that there is no virus at all. They’re simply, you know, re-diagnosed or re-labeled, part of our immune system. And the response has been like, you know, it’s been over-the-top. Absolutely over-the-top. And even when you look at the death figures for this year, it’s less deaths this year than it has been for the last five years. And no one seems to be dying of anything else anymore.” ~ Max Igan “Well, essentially — see what what they’re seeing under the microscope — it could very well be exosomes because they’ve they pretty much created a recipe to make exosomes. Because they’re usually using monkey kidney cells for this purpose and they’re mixing it with antibiotics. And it’s well known that antibiotics induce exosomes. But the thing is that these cells are basically dying cells and they’re putting out all kinds of debris. And early on, in the study of virology, they actually really wrestled with this problem and pretty much gave up on trying to find a virus — until this new technique that I described was invented. So we could very well be seeing pictures of exosomes when we see those pictures But they could also be other kinds of cellular debris particles. The thing i, we just don’t know because they’ve never taken those particles and then purified them and characterized exactly what they are. So that’s really never been done. And what you’re talking about with the test — the test is a little bit different because the PCR test, which is the main test, it doesn’t test for a virus at all. What that tests for is a sequence of RNA, which is genetic material. And the way they obtain that is also — they take the impure sample basicall, like the lung fluidn ithis case, from some people who are sick or possibly a throat swab. And they amplify short little sequences. And sequences that they’re specifically looking for mostly because they have this library of gene sequences of viruses. But the thing is, if you go back, they’ve always characterized them this way. So they’ve never once had a intact virus particle and then sliced it open and taken the RNA out and done a sequence from end to end. That’s never been done. What they do instead is, they take this impure sample and they look for specific sequence that they’ve pre-identified as being viral in nature from this database. And then what they’re doing is amplifying these short little sequences — maybe 150 to 250 base pairs — and they’re splicing them together into this one long strand of 30,000 which they say is the viral genome. But it’s actually just this Frankenstein-type of assembly of all these little pieces that we don’t even have any proof they’re related. They could even come from different types of cells or different creatures. And when there’s gaps, they’re basically using sequences that they get from that database of other viruses that are also put together in this Frankenstein-type way. And they sew all those together, you know, and say that this is the sequence, the genome sequence of this virus. And that’s the procedure. And that’s — they’re testing for something from that. But we don’t really know what it is. Except it’s most likely our own sequences. So that’s why there’s so many positive results, because they’re essentially testing our own genetic sequences.” ~ Dr. Andrew Kaufman
In other words, more medical fraud for profit and control by keeping people in fear and ignorance of the truth — the promised plot twist.
Which is the actual, secret, hidden and misunderstood esoteric meaning of Mercury — the metaphoric symbol representing the higher mind, spirit and belief. In the Cerebrum and his caduceus are actual two hemisphere cerebrum, spinal cord, cerebrospinal fluid and two snakes representing the two sensory and motor nervous systems of our body, through which we experience everything.
The science of epigenetics states that what you are thinking is translated by the brain into body chemistry that will determine what you physically become.
As Dr. Bruce Lipton explains, the function of Mercury or mind is to create coherence between what we believe and the physical reality that we experience.
If you believe there’s a threat, signals of threat released into the blood will prepare the cells to engage in a protection area response. But if the perceived threat is imaginary stress, emotion or worry from an imbalanced mind, our cells don’t know if a threat is real or not — because cells only respond to the chemicals. They do not see the real external environment.
If we believe we are under threat or stress, we manifest stress in our cellular physiology, even though the environment in which we live is not really promoting that. Our thoughts, Mercury, whether they are right or wrong are actually changing our cellular biology through his caduceus.
What we think we become. Signal plus protein equals behavior.
So when our behavior is not supporting health or us, we can say we are expressing dis-ease.
So it’s either defective proteins or the signal causing disease. Defective proteins lead to defective functions creating disharmonious behavior in your cells which can cause disease.
Which is why a COVID-19 vaccine, using electroporation to fuse foreign bat or pig DNA into your cells, to create new protein instruction codes, is most certainly going to lead to both disease and your demise.
Luckily for those wise enough to reject the new RNA/DNA recombinant COVID-19 vaccines, flawed protein expression genes caused less than 1% of all natural disease. The signal causes up to 90% of all dis-ease.
How can it interfere with health? Trauma — physical damage to the brain, spine or parts of the body related to the nervous system — can interfere with the flow of information from the nervous system to the cells, altering communication and leading to a misunderstanding by the responding cells — because the signals are altered.
Toxins cause disease by interfering with the propagation of the signals from the brain to the cells. If we put toxic elements into our body, including vaccine adjuvants and even toxins from eating industrial farmed food, these toxic chemicals can engage in the signal pathway.
But if they do, they don’t promote a normal signal propagation. Toxic chemistry can distort the signal.
If the brain is sending a signal to control the cells and there’s toxic chemistry in the pathway, then the signal that reaches the cell is altered, and then the behavior of the altered cell can lead to disease.
But the real secret of Mercury mind, is that our thoughts become translated into chemistry that can either cure or create disease.
A dis-ease caused by thought is not because the body is defective, it’s because the signal is inappropriate.
Because this esoteric science is hidden — consciousness, emotion, worry and stress are the primary problems contributing to issues regarding health on this planet. Too many people are sending inappropriate signals at inappropriate times, leading to inappropriate behavior which we call disease or dis-ease.
The truth is that these are two sides to the same coin.
Metaphysically, mercury is mind.
Physiologically, Mercury is the nerves and the cerebrospinal system. The cerebrospinal system is the generator and carrier of physicochemical electricity, which is simply energy or life.
Our mind and the sensory nerves utilize the electrical energy of thought and the subtle nerve fluids in the cerebral spinal fluid.
Depending on our thoughts and actions, Mercury may do this beneficially and positively, or negatively and destructively.
Chemically, Mercury is quicksilver which, is an oily fatty substance. the “argentum vivum” or “living philosophical silver” that rises back up from our sacrum to our cerebrum to be converted back to electricity infinitely if not wasted
The real interpretation of “quick” means living.
And as oil is the physical manifestation of energy, mercury or quicksilver, means the oil of life.
We are told by the AMA that a quack is a medical charlatan. Takes one to know one.
But actually quack is short for the 1570s Dutch term quacksalver or the German quacksalber, and the Danish quakzalver, meaning “hawker of salve” or oil or to rub with ointment.
Quakzalver sounds remarkably close to quicksilver. Wouldn’t you say
As usual, the snakes have inverted the true meaning of healing — for profit.
And that is the real reason Mercury is the father of merchants and thieves.
Mind, which is the father of thought, can actually rob the physical body by wasting living electricity through thought, emotion, action and physical merchandise — through riotous and gluttonous thought and living habits.
The “brain esse”[esence] and thought power or electricity constitute the true merchandise of every human body.
And thus, the job of the great physician Mercury, your mind, is to electrochemically heal all dis-eases.
Not just through pure thought and action, but through pure food sustenance and plant medicine on the physical plane. The cerebrospinal fluid around our brain, spinal cord, and nerves, cushions those organs.
It picks up supplies from the blood and gets rid of toxic waste products. It is a colorless, transparent alkaline fluid — 99% water, 1% monoatomic potassium — which creates healing and toxic-dissolving oils, glucose, protein amino acid molecules, enzymes, hormones, antibodies, etc.
It is how the brain talks to cells.
In esoteric biblical biochemistry, the healing Rod of Asclepius is the staff of Moses.
The electrical seed germination that creates the healing corpuscles of the cells (created in our spleen) that make up our blood, lymph and nerve endings, brought down to the spleen from the cerebrum (or Aries the lamb or Ram of God), also known as Brahma or Abraham, by Mercury, the messenger of the Godhead.
That is why Moses, or the electric seed of the corpuscles, is the descendant of Abraham, our cerebrum.
The winged caduceus of Mercury is the Tree of Life.
While the serpents represent the tree of knowledge of good and evil, or cellular ease and dis-ease, one is the sensory system, the other the motor system, doing work pertaining to motion. But perverted it becomes e-motion, meaning energy wasted, substance lost, death and dis-ease.
All around us today, we see its effect.
Humanity as a whole, floundering in chaos instead of harmony, lost in a sea of emotion — energy wasted, substance lost.
The blood corpuscles carry not only nutriment to every cell, but air as well. Our cerebral cells, as well as all other cells, must be supplied with the proper mineral foods and salts, and kept free from acid accumulation and toxic poison.
Each individual has his own Tree of Life. No one but himself can destroy that tree and no one but himself can cultivate it or supply it with nutriment.
There are links to details on this beautiful esoteric science in the description.
But know that oils neutralize and dissolve body toxins and poisons.
Water keeps fibers fluid and in motion.
Spirit (electricity) moves the body and the 12 mineral salts that manifest electricity to biology are the physical body.
Physician heal thyself.
This is not medicine.
And this is not the cause of disease.
At a glance, on the surface symbols, are just pictures that represent an idea in the consciousness of those who look at them. But while we may think symbols are just pictures, they do act on our subconscious mind to bring about the desired influence of the sigil creator.
The actual intent of the symbol may be unknown to the viewer or even be inverted in its true meaning. For example the peace symbol, or inverted Algiz, is actually a Proto-Germanic death ruin that was inscribed on tombstones. Death is peace.
The swastika had a positive meaning in ancient times. Its Sanskrit name was svasktika, literally meaning “it is”, well being, good existence, and good luck. For the Hindus it was a symbol for Vishnu and the Sun or, when inverted, Kali and magic.
Thus we can invert the meaning of the caduceus to serve our health, rather than drain our corpuscles.
In our current reality, war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength, and poison is medicine. But it does not have to be that way, f we do not want it to.
You can decide yourself, right now, that poison is poison, but plants, clean nutrient-filled food and positive mind is medicine.
Our bodies have amazing capabilities to heal if we simply provide the right environment, free of toxins, full of nutrition, purity of mind and spirit.
There is no form of cellular disease we cannot heal from.

That Coconut Oil You Love? Species Have Gone Extinct Over It, Study Says

For conscious consumers, palm oil tends to be the pariah of tropically grown crops. This is due to the well-publicized fact that oil palm plantations are highly destructive to biodiversity, displacing critically endangered species like orangutans. But palm oil isn’t the only consumable oil that causes environmental damage, according to a new study. It argues that the public is grossly uninformed, or even misled, about the environmental footprint of most oil crops. To illustrate this point, the authors put the spotlight on the popular husk-covered seed with its fleshy, milky center: the coconut.
According to the study, published in Current Biology, the production of coconut oil impacts 20 threatened species per million liters of oil produced. By this measure, coconut oil is positioned to be more destructive than palm oil, which only affects 3.8 species per million liters, or even soybean oil, which impacts 1.3 species per million liters. However, few people know this, Erik Meijaard, the study’s lead author, told Mongabay.
“[There’s a] discrepancy between what people think because of their cultural biases and lack of understanding or knowledge, and what the reality tells us,” Meijaard said. “Because if you’re missing part of the picture that, in this case, [is] the fact that coconut is actually problematic for biodiversity … then no one is going to address that, and we don’t solve the problem.”
Meijaard, who is the director of Borneo Futures, a scientific consultancy based in Brunei Darussalam, and has worked in tropical conservation for 28 years, says he’s always wondered why conservationists and consumers loathed oil palms, but not coconut palms. “Both of them are tropical plants that are occupying large areas that previously would have been covered in natural forest,” he said. “Why does one end up being evil and the other one being wonderful?”
But it wasn’t until Meijaard and his colleagues started working on this paper, which used data from the IUCN’s Red List, that Meijaard said he came to understand the true impacts of coconut oil as well as other oil crops on biodiversity. The results of the study, Meijaard says, came as a “surprise.”
Coconuts are grown in many parts of the world, but the majority of production takes place on smallholder farms in Indonesia and the Philippines, where “species endemism and richness typically exceed those of mainland nations by a factor of 9.5 and 8.1 for plants and vertebrates,” according to the study. On a global level, coconut farms actually take up less space than other oil crops: 12.3 million hectares (30.4 million acres) for coconut palms compared to about 18.9 million hectares (46.7 million acres) for oil palms. Yet coconut plantations affect 66 species listed on the IUCN’s Red List, including 29 vertebrates, seven arthropods, two mollusks, and 28 plants, the study says.
For instance, it’s believed that coconuts farms were responsible for the extinction of the Marianne white-eye (Zosterops semiflavus), a tiny bird from the Seychelles, and the demise of the Ontong Java flying fox (Pteropus howensis) on the Solomon Islands, a species that hasn’t been seen for the last 42 years and is feared to be extinct. Other species threatened by coconut production are the endangered Sangihe tarsier (Tarsius sangirensis), a small primate endemic to the Indonesian island of Sangihe, and the endangered Balabac mouse-deer (Tragulus nigricans), an animal found on three Philippine islands.
Meijaard says that coconut oil shouldn’t necessarily be vilified, but that consumers need to arm themselves with information.
“We want to be very careful not to say that coconut is actually a greater problem than palm oil,” Meijaard said. “What we’re really trying to say, and trying to get the public to understand, is that all agricultural commodities have their own issues.”
While this study focuses on coconut, it points out that other oil crops, such as olive, soy and rapeseed, have serious environmental issues attached to them. For instance, it references a piece in Nature that says high-powered machines used to harvest olives kill 2.6 million birds each year in Spanish Andalucía.
“The production of olive oil, however, rarely raises concerns among consumers and environmentalists,” Meijaard and his co-authors wrote in their study. “There are various perceptions at play — the olive oil industry benefits from the belief that it represents a sustainable practice with an extensive heritage and mythology, claims of health benefits and being locally based. Conservation thus often appears to be impaired by shortsightedness and double standards, frequently driven by environmental campaign agendas.” “Consumers need to realize that all our agricultural commodities, and not just tropical crops, have negative environmental impacts,” Douglas Sheil, co-author of the study in Current Biology, and professor at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, said in a statement. “We need to provide consumers with sound information to guide their choices.”
Meijaard said he hopes that the study encourages further research on the environmental impacts of oil crops, so that the public can become better informed about their product consumption.
“At the moment, we’re simply not there yet,” Meijaard said. “We can pick any crop, and there are huge holes in our understanding and knowledge about their impact, so it’s a call from us for scientists, politicians, and the public to demand better information about commodities.”
