I just posted a link to this substack onto another substack "The Forgotten Side of Medicine." The internal medicine doctor has many interesting, long, posts in particular one on the side effects of the mRNA vaccinations he has seen.

"Why Do Doctors Close Their Eyes to Medical Injuries?
A Midwestern Doctor May 7"
"In the first two articles of the series, I have introduced the concept that doctors (and other health care providers) frequently cannot see adverse reactions to pharmaceuticals (iatrogenesis) such as vaccinations in their patients. Because of this medical blindness, it frequently results in patients being “gaslighted,” which is a terrible experience for them to endure.
I believe two phenomena are responsible for this medical blindness: doctors lacking the ability to see iatrogenesis and doctors being unwilling to see iatrogenesis. Frequently, these occur concurrently in varying degrees.
In the previous article, I attempted to illustrate why doctors are unable to see iatrogenesis and concluded with a case where this was occurring in parallel with a doctor not wanting to see iatrogenesis. For reference, the case was as follows: ......"
The comment section is an excellent discussion of medicine and ethics including many comments from A Midwestern Doctor.
Thanks, I just read it and posted a comment about two new patients seen by my office who developed multi-system illness after the Covid vaccine and how we got them well--They had previously asymptomatic bartonellosis which became symptomatic after the immunologic effects of the vaccine. They responded great to a few months of antibiotics--Pretty much back to normal now. We're in the process of writing up their cases for publication. I think that awareness of just how common asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic infections are in the population is an important nuance to take into consideration when looking at these complex issues.

Hi, thanks for your interest in Chronic, hope you find it helpful.
And thanks for taking the time to write this comment! Yes, my Dad’s story and my own are both covered in the book. I had to limit them to one chapter though because there was so much other information to include.
Wow so awesome that you were able to save your dad at that time.
Have you heard of Dr. Renz in Germany? Supposedly he has a pretty high success treating Lyme patients with insulin to open up the cells and triple antibiotics by inducing hypoglycemia. What do you think of his treatment? Thank you
I don't know Dr. Renz, but I have seen patients who've been treated with what you've described and it's not been curative. The caveat here is that I've only seen new patients who've used that treatment before they came to see me, which is inherently a skewed sample because if they're coming to see me, then all there prior treatments had failed or they wouldn't need to continue to seek care.
I do have established patients who occasionally seek treatments that I don't use in the office (for example, I don't use the treatment you've described) but I don't remember any of them having done that particular treatment.
Thank you for your kind response! What do you think about the science behind it? There are talks that they do something similar in Arizona, but not exactly same so they don’t have high success rate. But Dr. Renz supposedly perfected his treatment and has a high success rate. He used to treat cancer patients. What do you think of possibly collaborating with him in a future if his treatment is in fact very good?
I've only seen patients treated this way in the US and it wasn't amazing, so I'd be happy to speak with Dr. Renz and review his data if he'd like to be in touch with my office. We're in Wilton, CT and listed online.

You are probably not still reading comments from 2022, but I was wondering what he did between the a fib and the heart failure. Did he have any consequences that resulted in being told to take blood thinners? Or were the ones used now just not invented yet? Stroke is a possible result of a fib, so a long history of it might have caused a stroke before you got to the correct diagnosis and treatment. And those blood thinners have side effects. How dangerous is it to spend time looking for alternative causes instead of treating the a fib?
And on another related subject: : mast activation can cause heart trouble too. That can be difficult to avoid. Kounis syndrome. A fib.
Thank you for this post. I'm planning on purchasing your book soon. Do you cover your father's story in it?
I am interested in learning more about the infectious disease origin of ailments like psoriasis and cognitive decline/ALZ (a la Dr. Dale Bredesen's "End of Alzheimer's") and the functional integrative treatment options for them.
Ahhhh catch up Saturday - my first walk in 4+ years to my favorite park/place in our little town. It was a glorious experience in the fresh air......a little walk, but a real walk just the same even up a small incline which i have not been able to do in many years. I was introduced to a Japanese breed doggie, and two very kind people.......who started to share their stories with me after my curiosity and asking a lots of questions about their Jericho and which then led to many other things such as the state of the world, my joy at my first walk in one of my favorite places in such a long time.........they now know of Dr Steven Phillips, as the husband has long had untreated Lyme....they share many of the same awareness of the state of the world, and now they know of a brave, oh so smart doctor, his practice, Substack/ZeroSpin where truth is told, you and Dana's FB page, your book, the whole enchilada.........who knows how that may ripple - they felt it was a serendipitous meeting.............as do I. We talked of people's stories - it was a lovely visit and we shared contacts. I don't do that with perfect strangers, but felt immediate kinship with them. May the ripples continue and I am one, who won't stop skipping stones on rivers and lakes.......Thanks for this amazing article Dr Phillips. I will give it a few days and then share on my FB page after i let the one posted yesterday, sit for a bit - I'll throw a few funnies in there, following suit on your doggie funnies..........laughter. Yes. oh so good! Thank you again!
