What urgently needs to be done is to decentralize medicine and public health. Our centralized institutions such as FDA, WHO, CDC, etc have been infiltrated by greed and are nothing more than mouth pieces for Big Pharma. We need to put the power back into the hands of everyday doctors, physicians, etc.
I don't know how to accomplish this entirely, but I am a software engineer with decades experience and truly believe that technology can be used to bring about this new decentralized future.
Looking for others who are interested in making this a reality.
Exactly. First thing is remove “public health” and “provider” and “system” from the medical vocabulary. (In a similar note, I am so over “systems engineering”—it’s a dangerous thing.)
I think I have found a functional medicine doctor, here in Devon. Dr. lucie Wilks. I !like many have lost faith in mainstream GP’s and consultants, some who appear to be negligible in their “care”. Both my husband and I have had experiences that have caused this sense the nhs is broken, and broken badly.
Thank you so much, Tess, for being such a positive and caring person. Dr. Peter Chan is similar in that he also is looking for genuine ways to encourage each of us to take responsibility for our better health and is offering a Dr/patient partnership to accomplish this. I am very inspired by what inspires you, Tess, and feel hopeful as you and Peter lay out a better plan for the health of all of us--but it really does require all of us to be engaged. Unfortunately some will not but evolution must leave those behind. We are at a critical place where each individual must take responsibility to do their part in creating a better whole for the future of our race.
"A total of 681 patients were enrolled from November 20, 2018, to August 9, 2019, at which time the data and safety monitoring board recommended that patients be assigned only to the MAb114 and REGN-EB3 groups for the remainder of the trial; the recommendation was based on the results of an interim analysis that showed superiority of these groups to ZMapp and remdesivir with respect to mortality.
"Among patients in the remdesivir group, the estimated median time was more than 28 days because mortality exceeded 50%."
"At least 98% of the patients received the infusions according to protocol (Table S6). A total of 29 serious adverse events were determined by trial investigators to be potentially related to the trial drugs (Table S7). However, after adjudication by an independent pharmacovigilance committee, four events in three patients, all of which resulted in death, were determined to be possibly related to a trial drug: one patient in the ZMapp group had worsening of gastrointestinal symptoms; one patient in the ZMapp group had periinfusional hypotension and hypoxia that responded to resuscitation after treatment interruption but that resulted in death within 24 hours; and one patient in the remdesivir group had hypotension that resulted in cessation of a loading dose of remdesivir and that was followed rapidly by cardiac arrest. However, even in these cases, the deaths could not readily be distinguished from underlying fulminant EVD itself."
I am very interested in following Dr Peter Chan into the future, is there anywhere or way to do this? Does he regularly post on any channel or forum?
Secondly, it intrigues me also that as an army medic it seems I was taught more about preventative medicine than most doctors, whom I used to worship like all knowing gods of health. Military medicine is heavy on the paramedic and the emergency care approach, but actually is also very heavily focused on preventative and environmental medicine too. And maybe this is why I so readily clicked with functional and integrative medicine later in life when I developed CFS/M.E.
I am a massive advocate for essentially everything spoken about in this talk. I hope this eventuates and becomes more accessible to the public. We cannot just keep putting more bandaids on bullet wounds.
Hello Conway, Peter will be joining us at the Better Way Conference later this month so you can hear him speak there. Also if you go to his website you will see links to his social media accounts.

Hi Erik, also interested in making this a reality and it's something we are looking into. I will ask one of our team to get in touch with you.

Where in Devon please? I’m in Plymouth and looking for such a Doctor.

I just need to find a good functional doctor in East Sussex - Hartlepool is a bit of a stretch.
Love the discussion and the optimistic perspective presented.
I know South Essex is not East Sussex, but I believe Dr Anna Forbes does video consultations. She was my first Tess Talks guest: https://drtesslawrie.substack.com/p/tess-talks?s=w
very interesting - I believe co-operation within each human will help our co-operation without. https://georgiedonny.substack.com/p/a-tiny-water-flea-has-31000-genes?s=w The whole of the old pharmacological model must go.
I didn't know Remdesivir was being used in the UK, I'm horrified a while back I'd read this paper on Remdesivir being trialled in Ebola
A Randomized, Controlled Trial of Ebola Virus Disease Therapeutics

Great talk...thankyou so much. Hopefully I will connect with Dr Chan in the near future
