It's sickening how corporate medicine has taken over for more $$$$, power and control. Doctors have become prostitutes to their Big Pharma pimp. I've been watching The Resident and see how they operate. It's not about health/wellness or helping people! And how they scam Medicare is even more sickening ordering test, surgeries and prescribing so many medications that are not necessary just because someone is over 65 and on Medicare! Take this one, then take this one to counter the reactions of that one, and so on and on and on! Soon people over 65 are on like 20 different medications all paid for by Medicare.

We are in our 70's and doing everything possible to stay away from traditional doctors and hospitals! If I went into the hospital now and they know I'm on MC it would be a frecken disaster! Of course I'd say kiss my grits and no way!

I just read an article too on how statins are way over prescribed for high cholesterol which is actually not even bad for people. People with high cholesterol actually live longer!

--The purpose of cholesterol is to help your body function. Without it, we’d die. That’s why cholesterol will never be an enemy to your health. It’s actually quite vital for the digestion of nutrients, the production of hormones, and to ensure cellular integrity for the overall goal of proper organ function. Cholesterol is also a prerequisite for proper brain development and to preserve learning and memory. Most striking, it serves as natures’ Band-Aid to repair inflammation among the coronary arteries! Just like condom sizes, cholesterol levels differ greatly among individuals. ~The People’s Chemist

My cholesterol has always been high and so was my mom’s. She lived to be 92 and was sharp as a tack and did NOT take statin drugs! I've read so many articles too on how people develop dementia/ Alzheimer's who are on statins.

Back over 18 years ago every time I got my blood work traditional medical doctors wanted to put me on statins. I said NO THANK YOU!

TRANSCRIPT

00:08

DR. JOHN LITTELL: Yes, good morning. Thank you for allowing me for come here all the way from Ocala. My name is John Littell, I'm a family physician [states address]. And why in the good Lord's name would I clean out my slate of patients who've been waiting a long time to see me and drive two hours down here to speak for 3 minutes and then two hours back to work until 11 o'clock tonight? It's because what I'm going to do until 11 o'clock tonight is I'm going to be not only seeing my covid patients in the office, my covid patients in the hospitals, and I'll be calling in prescriptions all over the country, including here in Bartow, Tennessee, South Carolina, Oklahoma, California, New York, and Washington DC for people who have not been able to find physicians who will write for medications for them.

Who would have thought we'd ever be in this position? That I would have to come and say anything to anybody about why I cannot get drugs. Or—- let me tell you this, when patients call me from any of those places the first thing I have to ask them is please find a pharmacy that will give you the medications that I'm prescribing for you. Because I've been through that, calling CVS, calling Walmart, calling Walgreen's, and being told by a pharmacologist or pharmacist that they don't agree with me when I've been spending 32 years as a family physician, 7 years as an army family physician taking care of folks in Guantanamo Bay, we picked up patient refuges who had malaria and measles and HIV and tuberculosis. Working in a health service corps in rural Montana. Chief of staff of the hospital, chairman of family medicine. On five different medical schools in Florida teaching medical students to this day. And what do I tell those medical students? I tell them, for God's sake please do not become robots, because that is what the medical system has produced for the last 30 years and it's continuing to produce. The medical students of today and most of the physicians of today are becoming enslaved to corporate systems. My friends who work for the VA, who work for academia, who work for hospitals are being threatened and two of them have already lost their jobs because they have written for Ivermectin which, yes, you've heard all the great things.

Look at Uttar Pradesh, the largest state— we all need to get an education about India,1.3 billion people, one state, 240 million people. As we sit here today 5% of their population has been vaccinated and yet they have the lowest incidence of covid in Uttar Pradesh, India. The lowest in the entire country. Why? Because their minister of health a year ago said we're going to start using the Ivermectin, we've already had for both prevention and for treatment. The same with Chiapas, Mexico. The same across most of Africa where they've used Ivermectin to fight river blindness for decades because of the World Health Organization recognizing that it was a safe and effective drug.

And most importantly guys what all this is about for me and why I have this white coat on, this, I don't wear this as a show and tell thing. I wear this because when I put this on and I walk into the patient exam room [time alarm sounds] I have learned through my 30 years of practice that this projects hope for those patients. And I have found that with covid people are not getting a message of hope. They're being told that there is no hope [time alarm continues sounding] that you wait until you're in the hospital. [time alarm sounding] I'm sorry, I've gone long.

CHAIR: Thank you sir.

DR. JOHN LITTELL: Help me to be a doctor for my patients. God bless you all and thank you for listening to me.

CHAIR: Thank you, sir.
