So the foster care overmedication problem is real. Fine. But "natural health doctor" is carrying a lot of weight for a chiropractor. Nick Wilson has a DC from Logan College, 2012. That word, chiropractor, never once shows up in this profile. Funny how that works.And Sayer Ji gets one polite mention as co-founder. What you don't get is that he was flagged in the "Disinformation Dozen" report and kicked off Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest for health misinformation. Might be worth knowing before you take the org at face value. No outside sources here. No pushback. No one from actual medicine asked a single question. Every paragraph walks you toward a $32.99 Skyhorse book that came out in January. This reads like a launch party, not journalism."Thousands of patient transformations." How many of those made it into a peer-reviewed study? Nobody in the article thought to ask. Probably not by accident.

This "maha report" Substack is straight reality-bending, loony tune bobby-licking for cultists and astroturfed accounts. And Substack keeps pushing this pollution.

Adam Garrie is one of the chaos agents behind this operation - before COVID and Bobby and "maga" he was slinging slop exclusively for "Kremlin connected" rags.

Search his name, limit to pre-2021. Pro-Duterte articles, CGTN (CCP media), RT/Sputnik, etc. Authoritarian regime propagandist - then and now.

Very typical for this Substack. Look through what they post. Quackery, woo and maha/maga glazing.

I tried to reply to you, but it looks like it just put it as a new general comment. If you have interest in reading it, I addressed my comment to you by name, and you can find it there.

I think that's an unfair assessment of this article, which is meant to be a profile of another health freedom advocate (like the one featuring John Klar a while back).

MAHA Report also did a feature article on Sayer Ji, specifically with regard to the DisInfo Dozen, which I would highly encourage you to read: https://www.themahareport.com/p/sayer-ji-reflects-on-digital-assassination?utm_source=publication-search

TeeJae, I didn't assess anything. I listed things. Wilson's degree is a DC from Logan College, 2012. That's chiropractic. His own website doesn't use that word once. Sayer Ji got bounced off Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest, separately, by three different companies who all landed on the same call. None of that came from me, it came from their own pages and their own platform decisions. The MAHA Report link you sent, look, Ji's allowed to tell his side, that's fair. But that's his side. Sending me his defense brief and asking me to treat it like it settles something is a different move.

So, you obviously didn't bother to read the link I provided, because it's not just about "his side." It details a much bigger picture of a government conspiracy to silence ALL the dissenting voices of that period. For an even more in-depth picture of that whole ordeal, check out Matt Taibbi's "Twitter Files." It was MUCH bigger than the 12 people who were targeted.

Another grifting chiropractor and feather-earringed woo-wife. Keep on pushing quackery ...

Your comment is not just stupid it is positively malignant.

Your name is worse than stupid.

The article had dozens of points. Fantastic describes none.

Thank you for your great work!

Very selfless and inspiring. Children, youth and young adults need to be measured metabolically to ascertain the extent of cardiometabolic disease already present in most humans today.

truth seeker's avatar

Nah, metabolism self regulates, attempts to control are useless with the exception

of eating a diet known to produce health. Staying away from the Medical Cartel

is the best advice. The More and More about Less and Less consistently under delivers.

Have decades of experience in this domain...

Agreed. But, you can’t affect, mitigate, cure or control by any means, what you don’t measure. Case in point: a Standard lipid profile is wrong half the time. Having an aggregated, scientific profile certainly helps the clinician. We still don’t test for LPa.

A timely repost of an article that is dated.

Well crafted, prescient, and worth revisiting as the points are not only

irrefutable, but in unambiguous words tell people to divest from

the Medical Cartel.

Medical Doctors are useful for: Emergency Care, Surgical Procedures, Some infectious Dis-ease

and a small # of specialty concerns.

As Bugs Bunny said: Thats all Folks.

Amazing couple with complementary skills.

Hurray for Leah and Nick Wilson and their loving work!

Vance, first, I really love your substack and massively respect that you can learn information about medical care, elder situations, etc that is practically useful and is not otherwise easily available. I subscribe and read with interest and save many articles for reference.

From what I could find, without having spoken directly to the college, it appears Nick is a legitimate and trained chiropractor. At least, I think it is much more likely that he is than that he is actively lying about that point. Are you taking issue with the expression "natural health doctor"? Is that term legally defined? By the most common sense understanding of the words, it seems to be a correct expression to me. What am I missing?

The other criticism you have is regarding Sayer Ji and mention the Disinformation Dozen characterization, being dropped or censored from a variety of social media platforms. This personally to me is not damning at all. I'm not convinced by the authority of the CCDH organization, their criteria, their application of it. I also don't feel very persuaded that a social media company cancelling accounts or deleting these people's posts means that I would agree with those actions. I'm not sure why the Disinformation Dozen report and social media cancelling of these people would translate into a discrediting of them.

I very much appreciate the advocacy mentioned about foster care and acceptance of the foster family's decisions regarding vaccination of children in their care. I actually think it most likely that the Wilsons are sincere and truly care about the content of their advocacy.

This article seems to be a profile piece which gives biographical information and human interest stories about people who have been very active in the health movement that is currently being called MAHA on this substack. Why not hear about the book? I won't buy it, because it is not what I want right now. If the journalistic tone was of neutral objectivity, links to the book and such would probably not be included. I think they are included because many people who are involved in what is sometimes called MAHA are grateful for those who have supported advocacy for medical freedom and such topics, and so, there is a happy feeling to know what the Wilson's projects are and support them. It is not an indifferent article and is not trying to be.

Thank you for offering your reaction, Vance. I like seeing you involved outside of your substack, in the marketplace of discussion as it were. I do wonder whether I understood your points well enough, and will certainly pay attention if you clarify.

LOVE the Wilsons! Was so fortunate to discover them (and Stand for Health Freedom) in 2019 through Sayer Ji's GreenMedInfo, both of which were instrumental in keeping me sane during the scamdemic. Can't thank them (and the other true health freedom warriors) enough for ALL their tireless efforts (and wins)!
