Dr. Ahmad Ammous joins us to talk about fiat medicine and how Bitcoin can fix it!
Key Takeaways:
🔹The healthcare system is broken and focused on profit rather than patient care.
🔹The opioid epidemic is a result of pharmaceutical companies pushing dangerous drugs for profit.
🔹The medical system is controlled by centralized agencies that promote pharmaceutical medicine and suppress alternative treatments.
🔹The history of medicine in the US is connected to the creation of the Federal Reserve.
🔹The placebo effect is a powerful factor in medicine.
🔹Sunscreen may not be as beneficial as believed and could have negative effects.
🔹A free market approach to healthcare could lead to more diverse and effective treatments. Fiat medicine prioritizes profit over patient health and suppresses alternative treatments.
🔹The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the flaws of the medical system, including the manipulation of statistics and the focus on pharmaceutical solutions.
🔹Understanding one's own body and taking control of personal health is crucial for overall well-being.
