I'm too low in techie-type understanding to have my own theory about anything. It takes me forever to calculate beyond ten, so I leave "science" alone.
Nonetheless, Bill Nye lost me at bowtie, and I know that something as fundamental and pervasive as up/down (call it gravity, call it Fred) can NOT simply be dispensed with for purposes of "space" travel. (What Bill's bowtie started was completed by those ladies' hairdos on the ISS.)
There is something dumber than a yob like me who has trouble calculating past 10: a reductionist with PhD.
So when people tell me to eat oranges to get some Vitamin C, folate and caratenoids, I tell 'em I will eat oranges to get me some orange.
Brilliant. You and I are exactly the kind of people the school system tried to convince were “bad at math” because simple thinkers are dangerous to a complex lie. When you say you eat an orange to get some orange, you’re speaking the kind of truth that can’t be twisted.
The truth is simple. It always has been. It’s the complex theories, the endless formulas and abstract models, that keep people from seeing what’s right in front of them. Planes stay up because of density and pressure. Rocks fall because they’re heavier than air. No equations needed. Just reality, unfiltered.
Yes common sense which many people lack .if you don’t Strut around with a White Coat and letter after you name you are a Dumb Bum and better listen up .
For real. We can ask the teacher or prof a question about the deeper implications, but they cannot answer because they don't know. They are reading out of a book that they have basically memorized for the millionth semester.
"Quantum" is another thing *finally* being viewed with the suspicion it has always deserved. Some defend quantum while still claiming that RE+GE are correct, when those things are at odds, and even Einstein purportedly said so.
"Gravity" is explained by electromagnetism. The Golden "Rule" is the only thing we need to know right from wrong. Without simple absolutes, one has no anchor in reality. Some people genuinely want to live in pretend-land because they can't reckon with the fact that physics (and therefore morality) *apply to them*. They think that they can ignore their deficits and they will go away, that they will never have to pay the piper.
A lot of the game is to keep people burdened with the impression that 'science' is too difficult for mere mortals to comprehend, thus we must defer to its degreed, lettered priests and certainly not make nor trust our own observations.
Credentialed authority has lost standing and respect, as the screw clamps of oppression and conditioning have become stripped and jammed, leaving the scientific method of questioning as one of the few remnants worth salvaging in this centuries old war on humanity.
Commendable slab-turning here Medicine Girl! We’re way past due to shake off the swamp waters of programmed falsehoods and proceed afresh with clarity. Well done, keep it up!
Bang back at the doctrinal calcified institutional rot-dogma.
Simply deport CONSENSUS to its political purpose and restore CONSILIENCE as actual science.
Crichton in a lecture:
"“I want to pause here and talk about this notion of consensus, and the rise of what has been called consensus science. I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks. Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you’re being had.
“Let’s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus.
“There is no such thing as consensus science. If it’s consensus, it isn’t science. If it’s science, it isn’t consensus. Period.”
[Crichton gave a number of examples where the scientific consensus was completely wrong for many years.]"
I have a prompt filter to highlight all of those many and various vagaries of the click class and their sensational bias screeds filled with rhetorical fallacies that generates a pithy meme for the worst of the worst and also creates a glossary of puncturing neologisms or insightful labels.
Great article. Much needed. Periodic table is a big old distraction from elements of aether air water earth fire. Alchemy is the true science and has been obscured by TPTB. I don't for one second think that “laboratories” were chaos, all a cover story, have you seen the architecture people were creating at the same time as being “fools” in the lab. They think we are stupid!
Thank you, I appreciate you sharing this. I understand why people look back to alchemy and older systems, because so much of our real history has been distorted. At the same time, I don’t see either the modern periodic table or old alchemical practices as a true guide for how the body heals. Both were forms of experimenting on nature instead of working with it.
My focus is on what the body actually needs and what exists in nature without manipulation or interpretation. When we return to that, healing becomes much more straightforward. I am glad the article was useful to you, and I appreciate your perspective.
You hear the wheels turning. And yes, I’m doing magnesium after the series. Spoiler alert magnesium doesn’t exist in nature. Our bodies tell us that with the magnesium reaction which is diarrhea
As a deer stuck in the headlights, I have to decide which way to go. There is truth in your words and I have much to ponder -- your truths vs what others have said. I follow links and read research articles, to understand as much as I can, which can often be limited to the most gained out of summaries and conclusions. The conundrum is real for me. Thank you for your information.
Me too. Like wtf? All I know is that when I skip the magnesium at night , I get leg cramps.
I’m a carnivore, so I need the salt and minerals.
Also, I take iodine. Not everyday, but about once or twice a week.
I’m not on the vitamin train.
You’ll not convince me that magnesium is not necessary for some people. I had cramps so bad I’d scream. Magnesium oil would calm it down and magnesium glycinate would keep it from coming back.
What you are describing is the trap of modern medicine and the wellness world. Both sides teach people to manage symptoms instead of asking why the symptom is there in the first place. If you need a muscle sedative every night, your body is trying to tell you something deeper is going on. That is the piece worth looking at.
Carnivore can create a high ammonia load, and for some people that leads to cramps, agitation, restless legs and sleep disruption. When the liver and kidneys cannot keep up, the body shows it in ways like this. Minerals and salts are meant to come from real food. When the diet is balanced and varied, the body usually corrects these issues on its own.
I know carnivore feels good for some people in the beginning, but long term it can be hard on the kidneys and can throw the mineral system off balance. Most people do better with mostly plants, some fruit, and occasional meat, fish or eggs. It gives the body a full spectrum of minerals without stressing the filtration system.
Magnesium feels like it “works” because it relaxes tissues temporarily. The real question is why the tissue is tightening in the first place. I am not saying your experience is not real. I am saying the cramps are a signal, not a magnesium deficiency. The upcoming article on magnesium will explain that in detail.
You do not need supplements to fix this. You need to understand what is creating the cramps and why your system is relying on a sedative to calm itself at night. That is where the real answer is.
Yeah. This is just not true. There are hundreds of thousands doing carnivore for decades at this point. Very strict. So for many it works great. Also this ignores the fact that plants are trying to kill you. They don't want to die. They can't move, and so instead they are little chemist's that produce over a million known plant toxins to kill those organisms that try to eat them. It is after all their right to self defense. You may eat them, but they get the least laugh as you get gout, or arthritis from all the oxalates, or leaky gut from the lectins, and virtually all autoimmune diseases are from eating plants and plant toxins. Many other diseases are caused entirely by plants.
So, we may be in an evolutionary bottle neck or worse, cul-de-sac. 12k years ago, We foolishly stopped eating our species specific diet in favor of crops, caused ourselves to lose 11% of our brain mass, are an average of a foot shorter, diseased, crooked teeth, and are uglier than our meat eating ancestors. We're only getting worse. Eating plants kills you, and eventually it'll probably kill the species or at the very least make us incredibly weak, stupid, diseased, short lived and incapable of creating modern society.
I understand what you are saying, however, I do have other underlying issues which is why I’m on a carnivore diet.
The fiber in fruits, grains, and vegetables literally tore my colon up. So much so that I have a hard time absorbing nutrients, especially iron, because of my colon. It’s a long drawn out story.
I cannot eat plants, or fiber. When I do it shuts my colon down. And I have to fast for a week.
I’ve tried it all. So far Carnivore has been the only thing that has helped me.
It has helped my husband with his dementia, and much more.
I appreciate your compassionate reply. And I’ll continue to look at all possibilities. Thank you. 😊
Most plants we eat didn't exist in nature either less than 300 years ago. 500 years ago almost 90% didn't exist in any form we would currently recognize. Carnivore was the primary diet of all humanity 10k years ago, with occasional forays into roots and tubers when they were starving.
Look up @Jane333 on here about for further perspective. She talks about salt being essential for hydration and all the symptoms of dehydration. A saline drip is all hospitals first line of defence after all.
I understand your reliance on 'magnesium' -- what ever it is, I rely on it as well, having read 'Magnesium deficiency as the pathogenesis of all disease'.
Whatever they are, I take D, K2, A, and various forms of Mg -- Taurate, Citrate, Malate, Threonate, and Glycinate, after having already established my tolerance level with the Citrate and Taurate forms. It is my understanding that, Mg (whatever it is) is the central 'atom' in the chlorophyll molecule, per the paradigm within which I have been ensconced. Big rethink in progress.
I dropped out of school in the eighth grade. I could not take it anymore. Not with 121 IQ. Of course I had to revisit it later. But I did it on my terms. That was 1979.
Nursing pre-reqs are watered down specifically for nursing; they're not the ones bio/chem/pre-med majors take. They aren't as tough, so requiring a 4.0 isn't as extreme as it sounds, though it's all pretty dumb overall compared to just apprenticing for everything (no exceptions) starting at 16. It's crazy how unintelligent so many nurses are. Whitecoats too, though not quite as stupid on average. What they lack in dim-wittedness, they make up for in insecurity.
Additionally, the compliant ARE the weak. The strong see the ruse and *leave* for something better.
The periodic table always felt strange. Off.
Oh, the looks of envy on the former med students' faces when they see that the gal who left halfway through started her own real estate development company and is making 5x their salaries while doing something that actually garners public respect. Priceless.
I completed the pre-med bio/chem requirements. Chemistry is extremely difficult because students are not given explanations how we know what we supposedly know, especially in organic chemistry.
Nursing does not have pre-med requirements unless you are outside the USA. Nursing classes in the sciences are not the ones for science majors.
In the United States, nursing classes are watered down compared to the science classes for majors. So you must live elsewhere, and it's hard to know how rigorous those classes are, as they vary by nation-state.
Thank you! I loved visiting Sydney…I think I was 12 and bought a pair of pink pants I thought were big city glamorous. Wore them to the first day of school and was not well received 😂
Physicist here, and I’ve had graduate Quantum Chemistry. While you are correct about how the modern periodic table was developed. It does indeed tell us about the natural world the shared properties of materials show a shared structure of electron clouds.
Your teacher wasn’t revealing the man behind the curtain but instead her own ignorance of physics. This happens with engineers too. Nurses and Engineers are interested in doing things with scientific knowledge and are often given building blocks that are simplified but work for their task. Of course all the current theories could be wrong, that is how real experimental science works (there is never any really settled science and the history of scientific discovery is one or two people overturning the settled science of their time.)
You’re defending what the periodic table explains inside a lab. I’m talking about everything it leaves out.
The table is excellent for predicting how purified substances behave under controlled conditions. It tells industry how to extract, refine, combine, and repurpose materials. That’s why it underpins explosives, fertilizers, plastics, dyes, drugs, supplements, fragrances, and processed food chemistry.
But it tells us almost nothing about health, vitality, soil, forests, ecosystems, or how a living body actually thrives. You can’t look at that grid and learn how to grow a field, restore an organ, balance a nervous system, or keep a forest alive. There is no square for sap flow, microbial communication, or the intelligence that moves through real food and real soil.
The periodic table is not a map of life. It’s a map of how to manipulate raw materials after you’ve torn them out of context. It fits the needs of an economy that breaks nature into pieces and recombines them into profitable products. It does not describe how nature organizes itself.
So I’m not denying that the model works for what it was built to do. I’m questioning the myth that it represents the deepest truth about nature, when in practice it mostly enables a chemical culture that is expert at making products and terrible at producing health.
Your whole argument seems to rely on this assumption that the periodic table is a failure or a lie because it doesn’t explain health and practical things. However, I don’t think it ever was supposed to.
The periodic table illustrates various trends among the elements in an organised fashion, and thus allows for the properties of many elements to be predicted as well. But that doesn’t suggest that it should be for healing your body or keeping a forest alive. And just because something is on the table, does not mean that you need it. Essentially, your argument is built on your own assumptions about what the table should and shouldn’t do, which it fails to fulfill, because that was never the point of the table.
Well, I agree that it shouldn’t be some holy grail, but it’s more like the legos you can build more complicated things from, it informs what ionizes and what is radioactive, what things will bond together and in what quantities, the electron clouds (and to a lesser extent the cores, which only matter if the atom is so unwieldy that it ejects particles to become a smaller more stable atom.)
I tutored in high school biology, and understanding of many things like membranes and other biological processes are now better understood than when I was their age, the body has things like transistors.
That humans will make everything about profit is a sad fact of our existence.
I have seen a number of alternate periodic tables, from different sources, some older, some not.
I like that you are willing to challenge yourself, and others with ideas. I think you are trying to form a logical framework to fit with your real world experience in a partially inverted world filled with false history.
I don't agree with everything you write, but I know you are growing as human, and expressing your creativity. That is what is suppressed in all human endeavors, creativity. That is what threatens the status quo, individual growth, independence, and creativity.
Ether, Air, Water, Earth, and Fire. So many questions, so few answers. You are on the path, and that is all that counts.
I appreciate you sharing your perspective, but I want to be clear about something. What I’m doing isn’t an “expression of creativity.” If I wanted to be creative, I’d paint, write music, or go dance in the forest. This work isn’t coming from imagination. It’s based on what I see in observable reality and what consistently holds up across real-world examples.
I’m not trying to build a logical framework to make things fit. I’m looking at what exists in nature, what doesn’t, and how the body responds. If something doesn’t exist in nature, you don’t need it in your body. There’s no nuance there. It’s simply how the physiology works. There’s just not a lot of profit in saying that.
And I don’t agree that “being on a path” is all that matters. That kind of language doesn’t mean much when we’re talking about actual outcomes, health, or what is real and what is artificial. My work is about clarity, not about walking a philosophical journey. You’re welcome to see things differently, but I’m speaking to what is concrete and evidence-based, not symbolic.
Don't take umbrage at my comments. I'm not denigrating your work. I think there may sematic differences in our understanding of these statements.
My assertion is you are CREATING a new paradigm that is heretical to orthodox science. I've read your body of work, and your stance has changed radically over the years, that is your path. From a distance, it can be seen thru the lens of a philosophical journey.
My criticism is possibly you are probing at the scientific method, but without rigor. That does not mean it isn't true, it just means some of your assertions are controversial.
Actual outcomes are important, but your thesis is broad "If something doesn’t exist in nature, you don’t need it in your body." and needs refinement. You have hit the heart of it with the periodic table, but which elements are natural, and which are man made? What is natural vs refined vs transmuted vs reacted?
I enjoy your writing style, and you have challenged my belief systems, as I'm challenging yours. God's speed with your endeavors.
To flesh out Dmitri Mendeleev a bit more: he was a deist, same as the American Founders.
He was also a member of at least two societies - Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences & American Philosophical Society. If digging were done, I'm almost certain they'd be Freemasonic in nature - Ben Franklin, a Mason, founded the American one. (All info found on Wikipedia.)
Ahhh SCIENCE... it's bamboozled so many. It's literally a re-ligion for those that need someone to answer all the questions for them rather than answering themselves. Yes, there is genuine science that you can see and experience first hand... that's not what I'm talking about lol. Just like everything else it's used to keep us in the cattle fence of big corps and keep them holding all the power. If we have all the answers given to us we won't look for them. My favorite thing is when articles or news pieces say, 'scientists suggest'... haha and people read that and think it's really some new breakthrough. Listen to your own body. Go outside and get some sun, put down your phone and unplug your wifi. Shoot...I don't have a science degree though... lol really enjoy your articles!
I'm too low in techie-type understanding to have my own theory about anything. It takes me forever to calculate beyond ten, so I leave "science" alone.

Your last sentence is very profound. Can it be that simple?

This statement is true for ALL scholarly endeavours, not just science. In other words, the Truth is the only thing that matters.
Appealing to credentials, appealing to consensus, appealing to authority, etc. are all logical fallacies and prove nothing about the topic.
I have a prompt filter to highlight all of those many and various vagaries of the click class and their sensational bias screeds filled with rhetorical fallacies that generates a pithy meme for the worst of the worst and also creates a glossary of puncturing neologisms or insightful labels.

Yes unfortunately too many relish bathing in the Swamp water ( to them it’s Holy Water )

I'm keen to hear too. Why does magnesium seem to fix cramps etc?
And silver (Ag) does not sit beside chlorine (Cl)…
It does in my medicine cabinet.
😁
Look up @Jane333 on here about for further perspective. She talks about salt being essential for hydration and all the symptoms of dehydration. A saline drip is all hospitals first line of defence after all.
I understand your reliance on 'magnesium' -- what ever it is, I rely on it as well, having read 'Magnesium deficiency as the pathogenesis of all disease'.

Nursing does not have pre-med requirements unless you are outside the USA. Nursing classes in the sciences are not the ones for science majors.
In the United States, nursing classes are watered down compared to the science classes for majors. So you must live elsewhere, and it's hard to know how rigorous those classes are, as they vary by nation-state.
Excellent article!
Very interesting 🙏 Also- They have removed Ether -Aether from the original periodic table. Why?
Mendeleev fought to put it on as he allegedly dabbled in alchemy and said its was an element, others claimed it wasn’t
Apparently it was on it for years then disappeared - great article well done & thank you 🙏
Gold sits next to fluorine? Wtf?
That’s why they’re alchemist they turn fluoride into gold. Literally sold, toxic waste back to the seal
Clapping public, made a profit and purchased gold.
I think you misunderstood my WTF. I was commenting on your claim that gold sits next to fluorine in the periodic table. It does not.
Blessings and appreciation from Sydney Australia.
Thank you! I loved visiting Sydney…I think I was 12 and bought a pair of pink pants I thought were big city glamorous. Wore them to the first day of school and was not well received 😂
I know just what you are sayin……
You didn’t mentioned anything practical the Table can be used for - I’m assuming it’s not worthless in itself?
Unless you’re a chemist, and you wanna run experiments without starting from scratch, but those would be just experiments within the matrix
Physicist here, and I’ve had graduate Quantum Chemistry. While you are correct about how the modern periodic table was developed. It does indeed tell us about the natural world the shared properties of materials show a shared structure of electron clouds.
Your teacher wasn’t revealing the man behind the curtain but instead her own ignorance of physics. This happens with engineers too. Nurses and Engineers are interested in doing things with scientific knowledge and are often given building blocks that are simplified but work for their task. Of course all the current theories could be wrong, that is how real experimental science works (there is never any really settled science and the history of scientific discovery is one or two people overturning the settled science of their time.)
You’re defending what the periodic table explains inside a lab. I’m talking about everything it leaves out.
The table is excellent for predicting how purified substances behave under controlled conditions. It tells industry how to extract, refine, combine, and repurpose materials. That’s why it underpins explosives, fertilizers, plastics, dyes, drugs, supplements, fragrances, and processed food chemistry.
But it tells us almost nothing about health, vitality, soil, forests, ecosystems, or how a living body actually thrives. You can’t look at that grid and learn how to grow a field, restore an organ, balance a nervous system, or keep a forest alive. There is no square for sap flow, microbial communication, or the intelligence that moves through real food and real soil.
The periodic table is not a map of life. It’s a map of how to manipulate raw materials after you’ve torn them out of context. It fits the needs of an economy that breaks nature into pieces and recombines them into profitable products. It does not describe how nature organizes itself.
So I’m not denying that the model works for what it was built to do. I’m questioning the myth that it represents the deepest truth about nature, when in practice it mostly enables a chemical culture that is expert at making products and terrible at producing health.
Your whole argument seems to rely on this assumption that the periodic table is a failure or a lie because it doesn’t explain health and practical things. However, I don’t think it ever was supposed to.
The periodic table illustrates various trends among the elements in an organised fashion, and thus allows for the properties of many elements to be predicted as well. But that doesn’t suggest that it should be for healing your body or keeping a forest alive. And just because something is on the table, does not mean that you need it. Essentially, your argument is built on your own assumptions about what the table should and shouldn’t do, which it fails to fulfill, because that was never the point of the table.
Well, I agree that it shouldn’t be some holy grail, but it’s more like the legos you can build more complicated things from, it informs what ionizes and what is radioactive, what things will bond together and in what quantities, the electron clouds (and to a lesser extent the cores, which only matter if the atom is so unwieldy that it ejects particles to become a smaller more stable atom.)
I tutored in high school biology, and understanding of many things like membranes and other biological processes are now better understood than when I was their age, the body has things like transistors.
That humans will make everything about profit is a sad fact of our existence.

I have seen a number of alternate periodic tables, from different sources, some older, some not.
I like that you are willing to challenge yourself, and others with ideas. I think you are trying to form a logical framework to fit with your real world experience in a partially inverted world filled with false history.
I don't agree with everything you write, but I know you are growing as human, and expressing your creativity. That is what is suppressed in all human endeavors, creativity. That is what threatens the status quo, individual growth, independence, and creativity.
Ether, Air, Water, Earth, and Fire. So many questions, so few answers. You are on the path, and that is all that counts.
I appreciate you sharing your perspective, but I want to be clear about something. What I’m doing isn’t an “expression of creativity.” If I wanted to be creative, I’d paint, write music, or go dance in the forest. This work isn’t coming from imagination. It’s based on what I see in observable reality and what consistently holds up across real-world examples.
I’m not trying to build a logical framework to make things fit. I’m looking at what exists in nature, what doesn’t, and how the body responds. If something doesn’t exist in nature, you don’t need it in your body. There’s no nuance there. It’s simply how the physiology works. There’s just not a lot of profit in saying that.
And I don’t agree that “being on a path” is all that matters. That kind of language doesn’t mean much when we’re talking about actual outcomes, health, or what is real and what is artificial. My work is about clarity, not about walking a philosophical journey. You’re welcome to see things differently, but I’m speaking to what is concrete and evidence-based, not symbolic.
Don't take umbrage at my comments. I'm not denigrating your work. I think there may sematic differences in our understanding of these statements.
My assertion is you are CREATING a new paradigm that is heretical to orthodox science. I've read your body of work, and your stance has changed radically over the years, that is your path. From a distance, it can be seen thru the lens of a philosophical journey.
My criticism is possibly you are probing at the scientific method, but without rigor. That does not mean it isn't true, it just means some of your assertions are controversial.
Actual outcomes are important, but your thesis is broad "If something doesn’t exist in nature, you don’t need it in your body." and needs refinement. You have hit the heart of it with the periodic table, but which elements are natural, and which are man made? What is natural vs refined vs transmuted vs reacted?
I enjoy your writing style, and you have challenged my belief systems, as I'm challenging yours. God's speed with your endeavors.
Rigor??? That’s hilarious. Find me a virus with rigor. Find me gravity with rigor. WTF are you even talking about? Science is crap.
To flesh out Dmitri Mendeleev a bit more: he was a deist, same as the American Founders.
He was also a member of at least two societies - Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences & American Philosophical Society. If digging were done, I'm almost certain they'd be Freemasonic in nature - Ben Franklin, a Mason, founded the American one. (All info found on Wikipedia.)
Ahhh SCIENCE... it's bamboozled so many. It's literally a re-ligion for those that need someone to answer all the questions for them rather than answering themselves. Yes, there is genuine science that you can see and experience first hand... that's not what I'm talking about lol. Just like everything else it's used to keep us in the cattle fence of big corps and keep them holding all the power. If we have all the answers given to us we won't look for them. My favorite thing is when articles or news pieces say, 'scientists suggest'... haha and people read that and think it's really some new breakthrough. Listen to your own body. Go outside and get some sun, put down your phone and unplug your wifi. Shoot...I don't have a science degree though... lol really enjoy your articles!
