Joe Rogan was asked a simple question: if you survive a heart attack and take a statin for 5 years, how much longer will you live? He guessed a few years. Dr. Aseem Malhotra gave him the number that comes straight from the statin trials themselves. On average, the answer is just over four days. Four days is just the start. Here's what they never tell you about statins: 🧵

Jackson had the same spine injury that left Christopher Reeves paralyzed for life. He fully recovered, stunning the world His mom’s secret? DMSO—a simple compound vets use for spinal injuries the FDA won’t approve. But that’s not the only “incurable” neurological disorder DMSO helps. Approximately 2000 studies support DMSO's use for conditions ranging from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's to strokes, MS, ALS, chronic pain, neuropathy, depression, epilepsy, and Down syndrome, and a physician who began treating his patients with it estimates roughly 80% of what people see neurologists for goes away with DMSO.🧵

The light bulbs in nearly every home, school and hospital were swapped out in the last decade. Andrew Huberman told Bill Maher what we lost: the red and infrared old incandescent bulbs gave off. Today's LEDs are mostly short and medium wavelength, light that "has been shown to damage the mitochondria." "This used to be considered crazy." 🧵

A former prime-time Fox News anchor has now revealed what happened in 2007 if a guest mentioned vaccine injuries on air. "They would run out to the set to tell you to shut that down." Then she explained why the network was so terrified of the topic: "Half of Fox's advertising comes from Big Pharma." That's why you never saw these stories. 🧵

An 18-month-old was pronounced dead, even after a nurse announced she'd found a pulse. He spent nearly 5 hours in a hospital morgue. Then a transporter saw, under a thick sheet, all four of his limbs moving. "That kid's alive," he told the security guard. He was told, "Doctor says that's normal." Vincent wasn't the first. Here's what they keep quiet about how death gets declared: 🧵

In 1983, America's biggest daytime talk show did something that's never happened since. It spent an hour on a live debate on the DPT shot and vaccine mandates. Injured kids were in the studio, and the host asked what no host would dare ask today: "Why does it have to be a law? Should we have the freedom to decide?" 🧵

A first-grader left school asking her mom, "is the building on fire?" It was exhaust from backup diesel generators. There are 11 data centers within half a mile of her elementary school. Near the school there are as many as 264 generators. One running at full capacity puts out more pollution than 118 big-rig trucks. 🧵

YouTuber Dan Schaeffer says he “completely cleared” his sinuses with a nasal spray containing DMSO, purified water, and colloidal silver. “No pressure, no nothing.” DMSO has been studied for sinus problems since the 1960s, but few people know about it. Thankfully that is changing and more people are finding the relief they've been seeking. I dug into the research and reports from readers who are still struggling after surgery. 🧵

Tucker Carlson’s face said it all when Senator Ron Johnson said his acid reflux disappeared after taking hydrochloric acid. After years on Zantac, Prilosec, and Nexium, he found relief by adding the very thing those drugs suppress. His experience raises a question rarely asked when treating heartburn: What if the patient already has too little stomach acid? 🧵

In the 1990s, a national broadcaster aired an investigation into a monkey virus hidden in the polio vaccine given to millions of children. A researcher estimated there were "at least 26 different monkey viruses" in those vaccines. When a cancer doctor found one of them inside children's brain tumors, his words were: "I almost fell out of my chair." 🧵

In 1982, a major network aired an hour-long special on the shot every American child had to get for school. It reported that serious reactions were "common." Studies going back to 1933 showed brain damage. And a scientist who'd worked at the agency regulating vaccines said that they "very much do not wish to know" about adverse reactions. This is what TV news did before Pharma bought it. 🧵

This was one of the last monologues cable news's most-watched host ever gave. He asked viewers to imagine his channel pushing a mandatory product from a top advertiser, even as evidence mounted that it caused heart attacks, fertility problems and death. Days later, his network fired him. 🧵

In 2002, a local TV news investigation exposed a CDC study that found babies exposed to mercury in their vaccines were 2.5 times more likely to develop autism. The study was stamped "confidential, do not copy or release." Then the CDC released a different version, and the autism signal was gone. 🧵

This week HHS let compounding pharmacies make six popular peptides again, including BPC-157 and TB-500, while a formal rule is written. A compounding pharmacy founder told Joe Rogan why the FDA tried to ban over 50 of them. It all comes down to who pays the FDA's bills. By 2022, 46% of its budget came from user fees paid by the drug companies it regulates. The peptides are only the beginning. Here's what nobody tells you about who funds the FDA: 🧵

At a private JP Morgan conference, Pharma investors were shown a chart projecting America's obesity rate going UP as Ozempic prescriptions rose. They didn't gasp. Calley Means told Rogan they gave it a standing ovation. Why? Because the trials show when people stop the drug, the weight comes back, in proportion to how much they lost. That makes it a lifetime drug. Here's how that market was built. 🧵

Every product in America can be sued if it injures or kills your child. Except one. Aaron Siri told Joe Rogan how a 1986 law gave one industry "incredibly special immunity," right after its products caused so much harm manufacturers were going out of business. That industry is vaccines. And once nobody could sue, almost nothing was done to make them safer. 🧵

In 2009, a major-market local evening newscast opened with more than 130 reports of adverse events after the HPV vaccine: "Paralysis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, arthritis, memory problems, collapse." Then it asked a question you will never hear on any evening newscast today: "Should Gardasil now be taken off the market?" 🧵
