You left out Love Story. The most corny, maudlin, and treacly “dying young” movie ever made. Possibly the progenitor of the entire genre.

My mum & dad really loved that film & interestingly my mum died really young of MND. I never felt drawn to Beaches & found the Bette Midler tunes connected with it just dreadful. So glad I ignored them!

I totally agree.

I never watched even one of those movies....most of them I never even heard of.

So, my intuition guided me away from them & others.

(I haven't watched any movies in the last decade, very few even before that).

I am recognizing now the many things I avoided most of my life & still do.

Avoidance is one of my biggest tools.

There is so much truth in this article! I had a friend die one year ago because he believed whole heartedly in doctors. He listened to whatever they said to do and they killed him. It was such a strange situation because other than that he was intelligent and sincere, always looking for the truth. Whatever spell they weave in those hospitals took over his emotions, brain and thinking ability. One of the strangest things I have ever seen.

I'm shocked at how many I thought would never fall for it, absolutely fell for it hook, line and sinker and got angry with others who didn't think similarly

Maybe the power of suggestions can program the bodily functions ?

Yes, that is why the Placebo effect is so powerful.

Really interesting and insightful article-- thank you. It made me realize, as a society, we spend so much time and waste so much headspace on misplaced grief or grieving for a situation that's not real, that we aren't moving through our collective grief that's been hanging over us since the plandemic. It's almost like these fake diversions have kept us in an unhealthy holding pattern, with so many not allowing themselves to be rightfully enraged at the doctors that participated or were compliant in the genocide. We let them yank around our emotions, and then wonder why we feel so off-kilter and can't seem to gain any clarity on what's really going on. You're right--we need to start just disengaging, leaving the theater, whatever we need to do to keep these narcissists from messing with our heads.

Perfect commentary; thank you.

Have been a nurse since '75, but left system to go 'au natural' by '78; I didn't want to do to others what I didn't want done to myself.

The thing that gets me is, why do so many nurses stay in?

BRILLIANT article!!! When i was young i saw "Love Story" it was the first and last of these trauma-inducing tear jerkers i ever saw. I have no idea who most of the people involved in these movies even are. Never owned a television either, and don't subscribe to Netflix. Consequently i never go the medical profession for ANYTHING. I know a lot about natural health, take full responsibility for my own health, and i'd rather die than ever go to a hospital. I know that dis-ease is a symptom of something much deeper on an energetic level.

With the great weight placed culturally on diagnosis and labelling every single "disease", the medical industry then makes millions on treatments that never cure and usually harm. The diagnosis industry then puts you on the surgery/pharma conveyor belt. I know of enough people who, when the great white doctor said they had six months to live, died on the appointed day. This is how voodoo works.

This hit me hard in so many ways. It resonates with me. Wholly. Fantastic writing!!! I just realized -- I owe my lifelong battle with health anxiety to the damn movies I've watched. I TOTALLY became the dying character, over and over and over. Thank you for this!!!!!

Another wow piece that hits close to me. I’ve spent my entire lifetime in the entertainment industry. I’ve lost count of the commercials & movies, projects etc that had anything to do with negative energy or Pharma that I’ve refused to do. Pharma commercials are like hitting the jackpot for principle performers, actors or dancers. I refused so many of them and I have zero regrets.

I also have noticed since 2020 the huge uptick in you tube, tic Tok , IG, Facebook stories where people get sucked into watching cancer and other medical awful stories. I block them all, these channels have hundreds of thousands of followers. All by design of course.

It is my understanding that the screenplay for "Dallas Buyer's Club" originally did contain some angle of "questioning" the "HIV" hypothesis sort of along the lines of Peter Duesberg (although not questioning the existence of the virus itself). However, the "GAY Mafia" in Hollywood heard about it, then they sprang to action. Of course, they prevailed upon the filmmakers to drop even this half-assed dissident angle in the film....

Thank you, spot on, of course. We know that several of these actors never died, just killed their character and moved on to another one. As far as Royals are concerned, Kate Middleton wasn't seen or heard from for a couple of years. Fake videos, no one was ever showed arriving at the hospital she was supposedly at, because it was all fake, or they got rid of her. At this point, no one knows. And Megan Markle has no children, again, all faked.

Disney is famous for orphaning children. And Hallmark does the same. The parents of the leads are usually dead by age 50. SMH

Thought provoking….

I can see your point(s)!!!!!

So we need our parasites for good health?

I truly thought ivermectin was miracle that was proven in use for river blindness and it is not owned by pharmaceutical companies….

I hope you explain further on parasites.

I’ve never seen one of these movies or tv shows, except love story which was awful. I think I instinctively refuse to watch this stuff because I had nightmares for months after my parents took me to see Disneys Fantasia as a kid. That movie traumatized me for life

I remember sobbing uncontrollably at 7 or 8 watching "Madame Butterfly" on early 1950s TV. Yes, the real opera with an exquisite soprano. The voice and pathos devastated me. Of course, she chooses to kill herself.

The most disturbing recent encounter is a YT channel where the man acknowledges he is dying of cancer. He's had one kidney removed and suffers renal depression. To further drive me over the edge, he announces that he's going to a new doctor whom "he thinks is a good guy--he really likes him."

I thought about writing a helpful note like "Have you looked into detoxing or an herbal treatment?" but, of course, realized that he was far past such a point. More to the point at hand, he wouldn't believe me. His faith in the doctors; how he should proceed; etc. was utterly unshakeable.

I was so f**king depressed. So many people have tried so many alternative routes to treat cancer with great success. Not this guy--he's suffering like Job--can't make it up the hill after hand mowing an edge [has to sit down and rest]--but his next doctor is a "nice guy."

Oh, yes. I didn't watch his channel for this reason. He simply has episodes on living in today's age with rude, hostile people. Then, I'm watching Gabor Maté, whom I adore. If you view the world chronically via complaints, expect physical symptoms to appear. I'm not blaming the YT man--just stepping back from the overall picture with many segments of life fitting together.
