Thank you so very much for sharing this. My whole adult life I've known deep inside that keep it simple is always the best. Now I know why. God is good -----ALL THE TIME FOREVER & EVER. AMEN
It will take so many years to rewire humans brain. The brainwash is extreme. I know God has a plan and it will happen, in his time. I only pray and hope it is fast.
I cannot tell you how fascinating I found this post! I have been to three “ top notch@ Cardiologists for my heart issues and gone through numerous tests. I am told all my test results fall into the “ normal range”. When I ask the question why then am I having these heart issues and is this then my new “ normal “ to live with, they DO NOT give me an answer! Just escort me out of the exam room. I feel insulted and embarrassed just for asking! I am going to buy Dr Hussey’s book and am going to make an appt with a Chiropractor. Can’t hurt, might help, right? I found your Substack on The Midwestern Doctor’s Substack and am glad I did. Thank you for posting!
In the paradigm of allopathic medicine, no dr or specialists is allowed to investigate cause or seek to cure. They are only allowed to treat symptoms with pharmaceutical interventions. So to a cardiologist seeing a patient with your symptoms they have a protocol of what pharmaceutical intervention to use while avoiding investigating the cause of the problem chiropractors aren’t allooathic drs. If they were, they would no longer be able to investigate the cause of your problems or seek to cure. They would only be allowed to use pharmaceutical interventions to treat symptoms.
That’s all allopathic medicine does, treat symptoms. But they cure nothing. This is why our hospitals are the killing fields of society
I totally agree. And perhaps that is one small edit to your post: Allopathy DOES criticize those who are threats to their profitability (see Quackwatch.com for a virtual endorsement of those who threaten the monopoly). Chiropractic has been in their crosshairs from day one, though that was abated slightly when the AMA lost a lawsuit to them in the 1970s.
I shared my post because cardiologists are the most unassailable of the allopathic specialties. The number of people with declining cardiac output who get pacemakers and suddenly have renewed vigor are legion. To those people, they are the most godly of the MDs, for snatching people from death's door (at least they ones they don't kill outright).
I suspect if the causes of arrhythmia were addressed, they'd have far fewer people upon whom to bestow their surgical gifts. The question is how to get that message out?
At least with the growing distrust of mainstream medicine, there are more and more people open to the idea that there are better alternatives outside of the mainstream. That's a start.
Cardiologists are no different to any other allopathic specialty. Because they aren’t allowed to investigate cause or seek to cure, they harm and kill a lot of patients through inappropriate and unnecessary interventions like you escaped
I agree. I'd venture to say that 99% of people are clueless to that fact.
Early on I realized there was a lot of hyperbole in medicine, that the reality didn't line up well with the propaganda.
Orthopedists are great because they can replace worn out hips. But those hips only wear out because there's no effort to inform people that they have a reversible blood or nerve problem, which will eventually lead the joint to fail. In a sane healthcare paradigm, we'd need only a fraction of the current number of orthopedists, because such problems could be avoided.
Outside trauma care and critical care, every other specialty is likewise built upon a foundation of similar patient neglect (or victim abuse). For me, the last domino to fall was cardiology. It took me over a decade of reading on health before I started to see that it was no different from the rest. They just have a much better and larger PR campaign.
In the environmental health paradigm, drs are allowed to investigate cause and seek to cure. Toxicologists and chiropractors work in the environmental paradigm which is why they aren’t limited to symptom management like the allopathic drs are.
Most modern disease is caused by how our genetic variance interacts with our environment. Our genetic variance measures our susceptibility to our environment and to antigenic substances like metals, and they dictate what happens to our health when we get exposed.
I gave up on allopathic medicine decades ago, I could see it didn’t fit with govt and media messaging, so I decided to figure out how the body works myself and how the disease process is triggered and reversed. It’s actually quite intuitive and simple.
I made a short video so people can visualise it easily
Yeah, I read that transcript. Great analogy, and it explains why a personalized medicine approach is pretty essential for those whose genetics are more prone to the environment flipping them in the wrong direction, and not so much for those whose habits avoid piling up too many environmental triggers. Classic outliers. Most folks are in the middle of the bell curve. It’s not fun being an outlier on either edge. And it seems like the bell curve has gotten flatter, with fewer in the middle and more on the edges.
Chris Exley’s done some awesome research on the harms of aluminum, due to its massive positive charge. Big problem.
I grew up in a military family and lived in Europe for 7 years. All the old first sergeants I knew always said “What ever you do, stay out of the Krankenhaus!” (German for hospital). They had a deep distrust of medicine, at the same time that I’d often hear on TV that American medicine was the best in the world. So 40+ years ago I knew the narratives were misaligned, though it took me more than two decades to convince myself that medicine is as bad as it is.
I was responding to your specific comment on avoiding hip replacement. Yes, I know your main topic was the spine going out of alignment was a cause of your heart not-fully-ejecting-during-each-cycle issue
Great story, I’m going to a chiropractor to see if I have any structural alignment issues, causing my right hip to hurt from simple walks. I love these back docs! Though I only used them for acute pain removal (back, neck)
No problem! You’ll find different brands on Amazon that include the first three items. I used the Doctor’s Best brand. I think it works out to around 60 cents per day. I also bought their D-Ribose.
I was painting a mural for a new restaurant one very cold morning. I was at the top of the ladder taping off the ceiling border, when… you guessed it.. the ladder slid out from under me. Three months in a wheelchair, physical therapy, and I started walking again, as much as possible. It was painful, my feet and knees were swollen and aching and I kept laying down with my feet up for relief. Well.. two years go by and I’m pissed that there’s really no significant improvement. Then I read the boron conspiracy. So I started drinking the solution and lo and behold I had relief within 24 hours! I stopped taking calcium, and have been drinking boron solution for a couple years now. Excellent results keep coming.
PS Boron is added to my vegetable garden now, and I give to my older dog who has tons of energy.
PS the original article may not come up… but the information is out there. You can search Deep Roots At Home website, Yummy Doctor, and Green Med Info.
My pdf article wouldn’t copy so Im sending you the chiropractor’s website and he tells the neck story while selling his pillow. I made my own simple pillow and it changed my life.
It’s all about sleeping on your back with a small pillow under the neck. Since doing this the past few years I’ve have zero neck pain and zero lower back pain. When I started, I could only use the pillow for a few minutes, and now I fall asleep and spend most of the night on my back. My body craves this position now.
Before finding this article I was always looking for yoga / stretching to help me….and the help was very little. When I read this article it like the light went on and the church bells chimed. 🦋
My wife and I have tried a number of chiropractic pillows. What we ended up settling on instead was a Mediflow Fiber Water Pillow. We use it a lot like the neck nest, being sure to snug against our shoulders to be certain that there is good neck support. The added benefit is if you do end up sleeping on your side, the pillow can be snugged up against your shoulder and also provide good neck support. We've been using it for five years now and it's the best pillow we've ever owned. It can take a bit of trial and error to figure out the Goldilocks water level, but it is worth the effort.
Thanks! I’ll check it out. You’re the first person to know about this neck business…. I have difficulty explaining it to people… and you’re doing great!
I don’t mind hard work and I truly enjoy a life without pain and using a neck pillow has resolved all the skeletal kinks. 🦋
An amazing real life story that proves "no one knows their body better than themselves"... I've had my share of experiences, wherein knowing my symptoms, doing my own research and providing my thoughts to the doctor, only to bruise their ego, got nowhere. Underwent numerous tests, all came back normal, still suffered from symptoms, asked if I had a follow up. The answer was no...
Why did I visit the doctor, pay the doctor, symptoms never resolved, tests were normal, and no, I did not get a follow up. To start, I was on my own, and after time, effort, money, I'm still on my own.
What happens when your disease is cured by a chiropractor?
Nothing. Medically, chiropractors are not allowed to cure diseases. Cured is not medically defined for any disease cured by a chiropractor. Cured is not even defined for ANY disease cured by a chiropractor. It's the same for Ayurvedic, Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners, acupuncturists, naturopaths. But that's not all.
Cured is not even defined, for your disease or diseases, by any conventional medical doctor, no general practitioner, no specialist. You can't be cured, because there is no scientific or medical test of cured for your condition.
And he explains how the heart cannot create the force needed to circulate blood out to the capillaries and back again - that it is a recently discovered fourth phase of water that supplies the energy needed for vascular blood to flow against gravity (in tandem with muscular contractions and one way valves), in much the same way that sap can travel to the top of a 300-foot Sequoia tree.
This is what A MIDWESTERN DOCTOR calls zeta potential.
I've been following AMD for a couple of years now, since just before he/she mentioned that DMSO rubbed on the carotids can stop a stroke in seconds. That stopped our dog from circling the drain, and she's still with us now.
Lately I've been zapping and vibrating as a means of improving zeta potential. It's simpler than zeta aid.
I so agree with you. I’ve had 3 major car accidents in my life time and I learned a lot about what the medical industry does not know about healing. There is a spiritual aspect to physical trauma that if gone unchecked has serious ramifications on your soul and spirit. I sought out alternative treatment and had to overcome comments from friends. That thought I was pursuing voodoo medicine by choosing massage therapy, biofeedback to balance the frequency in my organs, raindrop therapy and chiropractic care. I thank God for my car insurance. I bought Personal Body Injury (PIP) after my first accident. So I had 5k at my immediate disposal and just turned in the claims. I did not allow the insurance to dictate my level of care and sought those who knew what they were doing. Thank you so much for writing about your personal journey and sharing your resources. God Bless.
Awesome story! Thanks so much for sharing, and best wishes to you on your healing journey!
A great book about the health effects of physical and emotional trauma is The Body Keeps the Score (2015) by Bessel van der Kolk. In general I find it difficult to read most books on psychology, but this book and Gabor Mate's When the Body Says No (2011) are clear exceptions.
Thank you! I will l definitely get this book. My head and neck massage therapist always told me “your body knows”. He released the energy trapped in my body from my second car accident. He felt he was also addressing issues from my first accident as well. I experienced this personally and for me I know the truth of it. I’m sharing your info with friends. I truly appreciate your information.
I remember my mom having an episode of AFib, her cardiologist wanted to immediately put her on a blood thinner. She refused n had a 24 hr halter which showed no problem. I looked into AFib n saw pot/mg as solutions. I told my nephew, who was a cardiologist resident about it (the information was from a conservative medical site) but he had never heard of it. Drugs or ablation, that's it. Certainly nothing chiropractic
Excellent explanation with great referenced professionals, many of which I follow. If you have not followed Dr Jerry Tennant, I recommend his book Healing is Voltage, The Handbook. It is the best book I have read explaining our bodies from an electrical POV (muscles are pieozoelevtric and generate electrons via our fascia along 13 electrical circuits) and then delving into most chronic diseases. He also explains why Chinese acupuncture works and how chiropractic relates. I just finished his book on cancer which is also amazing.
Wow. 🤩 I have to read this one again. Great job! I have a couple articles stashed away that connect with your thinking and I’ll dig them up and send your way. Both changed my life. Thanks again. 🦋
Thank you for sharing this Mr Klimer. Our spine is a crucial part of our health. Every week I get a reminder from someone that I should be maintaining my bridging routine. ;)
I liked the part about seasonal allergies as I always like alternatives to the allergy pills we are sold in the store.
Thank you! By the way, it's klimer (rhymes with [bicycle hill] climber, get it?).
It just shows how over-activation of our SNS due to spinal misalignments depletes both electron reserves and mineral reserves. Essentially, we're basically electron harvesters. Disease is anything that causes electron leakage. Figure out how to prevent or repair leakage and you restore health balance.
I ordered my doorway pull-up bar and I'm looking forward to doing static pulls. I've been working up to being able to do pull-ups again, and it's obvious that tendons and ligaments are the limiting factor right now. Your OCI concept looks to be just what the doctor ordered. A very simple concept that just makes way too much sense! And like you, I love finding 100+ year old truths. The newest wheel isn't necessarily an improvement over the one invented way back when.
No problem, after all it's only a pseudonym. There are many Kilmers on Substack, but at present only one klimer. ;-)
Will do regarding a progress report, though I'm in no hurry to progress. I've fallen off the fitness wagon too many times by going too hard, too fast. And at age 68, setbacks due to injuries tend to be more acute than they were just a decade ago.
I like that it's totally up to me how much force I apply, and how I progress things over time. That's ideal.
I got back into trying to build muscle tone after buying a vibration plate in October. Not quite as minimalist as you advocate, but a lot of gain for the effort expended, just using isometrics, a stretch band and light dumbbells. Plus you get good mobilization of lymph (which can cause electron leakage if it doesn't drain properly). At least 15 minutes per day, and I never break a sweat. Coupled with some of Jim Brown's exercise snacks, I'm quite pleased with how things are going. It'll be easy to stick with this routine in the long term.
Copy that! By mid-summer I hope to have regained a significant part of my former fitness. Hopefully I'll be in good enough shape that my current minor aches and pains will be gone, and thus be more willing to commit more time and effort. For now it's slow and steady. I need progress, not setbacks.
I saw my chiropractor today for help with a forearm issue and a bit of a right rotator cuff issue. Hopefully he's got me back on the path to avoiding making those two things worse. Time will tell.
Hi James! I've read the China Study and know of both Campbell and Esselstyn. I don't agree with the conclusions of the former. I think I read the latter, but if so it was long enough ago that I can't be certain (vegan/vegetarian bent?). If I did, I don't think anything stuck (at least not very long).
I'm not certain that anyone has ever come up with a diet to prevent heart disease, because the disease is too multifactorial, and we have no way of measuring a lot of important things that go into causing heart disease. Or I guess I'm just saying that you can have a perfect anti-heart disease diet (if such a thing exists) and still die of a heart attack from a non-diet related cause.
But if what they recommend works for you, that's awesome! We're all different and I don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Our ancestors came from diverse areas (shore/inland, wet/dry, hot/cold, sea level/higher altitude, etc) and each of our ancestors adapted to different diets. Which adaptation we inherited and from which ancestor is determined by genetic lottery. So even what works for you won't necessarily be great for your sibling.
Anyone who has read Campbell and Esselstyn should probably balance that with reading Weston Price's Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. He found that native diets were healthy regardless of what they were composed of. But things changed as soon as "foods of modern commerce" became available. Exactly what it is about foods of modern commerce that sabotages people's health is up for debate, but the connection is hard to refute. More so than whether meat is or isn't healthy.
Thank you so very much for sharing this. My whole adult life I've known deep inside that keep it simple is always the best. Now I know why. God is good -----ALL THE TIME FOREVER & EVER. AMEN

I agree, the message that MD physicians have the best answers to so many vexing problems is pervasive in TVs, movies, and pretty much all media.
But the truth is that the best healers work with the body’s innate healing powers, and mostly they aren’t MDs.

Yeah, it makes sense: Motion is lotion for your vertabrae. Add IV magnesium and you'll see a huge drop in all cause mortality.

No problem, after all it's only a pseudonym. There are many Kilmers on Substack, but at present only one klimer. ;-)
Will do regarding a progress report, though I'm in no hurry to progress. I've fallen off the fitness wagon too many times by going too hard, too fast. And at age 68, setbacks due to injuries tend to be more acute than they were just a decade ago.
I like that it's totally up to me how much force I apply, and how I progress things over time. That's ideal.
I got back into trying to build muscle tone after buying a vibration plate in October. Not quite as minimalist as you advocate, but a lot of gain for the effort expended, just using isometrics, a stretch band and light dumbbells. Plus you get good mobilization of lymph (which can cause electron leakage if it doesn't drain properly). At least 15 minutes per day, and I never break a sweat. Coupled with some of Jim Brown's exercise snacks, I'm quite pleased with how things are going. It'll be easy to stick with this routine in the long term.
Whatever workout schedule is easiest to maintain and enjoy is the best one.
Copy that! By mid-summer I hope to have regained a significant part of my former fitness. Hopefully I'll be in good enough shape that my current minor aches and pains will be gone, and thus be more willing to commit more time and effort. For now it's slow and steady. I need progress, not setbacks.
I saw my chiropractor today for help with a forearm issue and a bit of a right rotator cuff issue. Hopefully he's got me back on the path to avoiding making those two things worse. Time will tell.
Hi James! I've read the China Study and know of both Campbell and Esselstyn. I don't agree with the conclusions of the former. I think I read the latter, but if so it was long enough ago that I can't be certain (vegan/vegetarian bent?). If I did, I don't think anything stuck (at least not very long).
I'm not certain that anyone has ever come up with a diet to prevent heart disease, because the disease is too multifactorial, and we have no way of measuring a lot of important things that go into causing heart disease. Or I guess I'm just saying that you can have a perfect anti-heart disease diet (if such a thing exists) and still die of a heart attack from a non-diet related cause.
But if what they recommend works for you, that's awesome! We're all different and I don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Our ancestors came from diverse areas (shore/inland, wet/dry, hot/cold, sea level/higher altitude, etc) and each of our ancestors adapted to different diets. Which adaptation we inherited and from which ancestor is determined by genetic lottery. So even what works for you won't necessarily be great for your sibling.
Anyone who has read Campbell and Esselstyn should probably balance that with reading Weston Price's Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. He found that native diets were healthy regardless of what they were composed of. But things changed as soon as "foods of modern commerce" became available. Exactly what it is about foods of modern commerce that sabotages people's health is up for debate, but the connection is hard to refute. More so than whether meat is or isn't healthy.
