"What Doctors Don't Tell You"

What Doctors Don’t Tell You magazine pulled from supermarket shelves

 

A magazine spouting “complimentary therapies and alternative medicines” and telling readers how to protect themselves from 5G has been yanked from Coles and Woolworths shelves nationwide.

 

The decision on the April-May 2020 edition of What Doctors Don’t Tell You was made on Tuesday afternoon after Sydney 2GB radio host Ben Fordham expressed outrage at it being stocked in Australia’s two biggest supermarkets.

 

He said the publication was “filled with dangerous misinformation”, “dodgy medical advice” and “full of all the usual conspiracy theories”.

 

The front cover of the edition shared by Fordham hints at articles on healing spines without surgery, healing diabetes and “healing your heart after a heart attack”.

 

“Protect yourself from Wi-Fi and 5G, a step-by-step guide to staying safe,” another headline states.

Thankfully, I dodged the bullet. My eldest was born in 1963

I'm nor sure I quite understand this. Rubella is a normally mild disease that can cause death or birth defects in an unborn babies,

 

Thalidomide was a drug (not a vaccine) prescribed for morning sickness that also caused birth defects in unborn babies.

 

But Rubella was neither caused by, nor the cause of thalidomide. 


Rubellas was a more used name for  GERMAN MEASLES and caused a lot of of blindness and deafness in babies in the fifties

But they don't call for it to be removed from the shelves.

 

Harry Nespolon is my GP. He seems more concerned about the title "What Doctors Don't Tell You", than the content of the magazine.

 

Media have a duty to report news and current events, not fuel public outrage bullying stores into removing certain items the shock-jocks find personally offensive.

 

It's like that time Big W and Aldi were pressured into removing controversial Australia Day T-sbhirts from their stores, back a few years ago.

 

"Australia Day T-shirts recalled amid claims of ''racist'' logos demonstrate the power of social media in the online age, an academic said.

Big W removed T-shirts bearing an ''AUSTRALIA EST 1788'' logo from its Australia Day product range on Thursday, following discount supermarket Aldi which bowed to online pressure and dropped plans to sell similar shirts"

 

"The move by retailers to pull the clothing demonstrated the power of social media as a campaign tool, Canberra academic Lubna Alam said."

Recently, actor Isobel Lucas was dropped from a charity she was partnered with for her comments on vaccination.'

 

It comes after news broke yesterday the 35-year-old had swiftly parted ways with a charity she partnered with just weeks ago, amid a backlash over her views on vaccination.

 

“Freedom of speech is a human right – is it a risk?” she questioned in a post on Instagram on Friday.

I agree that the 2gb shockjocks , jones, hadley ,fordham should just stick to the news, but bullying is what they mainly do..thankfully we don't  have to  put up them in my state.. I wouldn't listen to them anyway

Re: "What Doctors Don't Tell You"

Freedom of speech is not a human right. But those who think they are exercising their so called 'right' often forget it is accompanied by 'responsibility'. If you put up, then be prepared to face the consequences of your words. Don't cry about it afterwards and play the 'freedom of speech' card. The problem with some people is they think survival is all about knowing when to open your mouth when in fact it's all about knowing when to shut it.

There isn't much riles her up, but when the anti vaxers start spouting there rubbish, she arcs up. Its all very well to spout off crack pot theories, until one of your own suffer major disability as a result. She is lucky...its only her eyesight that is affected. Many Rubella babies also suffered blidness, deafness and brain injury. And lets not forget the crippling effects of Polio.

 

Free speech is all very well but if babies are going to be born badly deformed as result of this " free speech ", society has a responsibility to shut the nutters down one way or another. If that means taking crack pot magaines off of the shelves of major supermarkets ( so their ideas are not normalised ) ....Go for it !!!


I picked up a copy of the mag today out of curiosity. Blame my lotto addiction for that. I have scanned the pages and nothing has come up that really looks crackpot. In actual fact, there's a lot of  sensible health related articles there and some great tasty recepies There's nothing in this  current issue that would get your wife angry eithere. There aren't any articles attacking vaccination as such. There is oone article that talks about contaminated vaccines made in unsupervised factories. This has even been a headache to doctors that push vaccines.

IMO, the offending article is the 5G one.

Pick up a copy if you still can and have look please. While there's some stuff you may not agree with, there's stuff you'll find interesting.


As they say . . . . . . . . . . "Don't judge a book by its cover."

 

Now I have for the very first time purchased this magazine, I'll pprobably purchase it again. I don't mind "Nexus" which I find sometimes a bit too "New Age" for my liking. However, I find  this mag seems to be somewhat less "New Age" and more practical. Also the Chicken Fajita recepie and the one for Coffee & hazelnut muffins look OK..

 

BTW: Thanks to the OP for bringing this up.


Do not doubt 5G , is a bit like questioning petrol in the late 1800's  

 

( just ignor that every halfing of the distance to the suburban mini-tower , increases the microwave strength by a factor of 4 )

It's a bit like that isn't it! The effect from the two is vastly different. To some folks questioning things is a no no.

 

 

Exposure is the thing that is on the minds of many. 

 

But IMO questioning is a goood thing.

Isn't it the favourite ANZAC catchcry,that Australia's young men and women fought in both WW's so we could enjoy the freedom of life we enjoy today?

 

Those young men and women woud be turning in their graves to see how readily we surrender the freedom of lifestyle they fought for.


With freedom comes responsibility.  Nobody has the right to spout any dangerous claim they want to, especially in time like this, when we face unprecedented situation.  The men and women who fought in all the wars would be turning in their graves if they saw what a bunch of whinging spoiled brats we became.  Having to isolate for our own good seems to be intolerable to many of us, and having the right to peddle unproven and even dangerous "snake oil" remedies  to vulnerable population is NOT the freedom they fought for.   

By the way, in time of disasters every country has the provision to implement martial law.  That is pretty much what the Chinese did, and they are managing to keep the infection under control.  America of course, hold their freedom to get a haircut and hamburger too dear to put up with restrictions, even if it means people will die.

Hi kazumi, first of all I agree in part. That rule should also apply to racists but sadly many are given a platform by the media. Look at the sick and evil thing that happened in NZ not so llong ago. Anyway, assuming the official version of things is usually right then with speech does come responsibility. So we're on the same page there.

 

Right .....   OK, as this thread is about the magazine, I'll keep muy reply to that. I bought a copy of the magazine yesterday and it bewilders me as to why it was removed from the shelf. Well actually it doesn't when I think about the motives that may have been behind it.

Anyway, if I get time this evening I'll have a better look at the mag. This is my first time reading it and it looks interesting.

 

Now you say ....  "Nobody has the right to spout any dangerous claim they want to, especially in time like this". Yeah, I can appreciate where you're coming from. Smiley Happy

 

And you say .... "Having to isolate for our own good seems to be intolerable to many of us, and having the right to peddle unproven and even dangerous "snake oil" remedies  to vulnerable population is NOT the freedom they fought for. " 

And again, I appreciate where you're coming from.

 

But reading as much of the magazine as I have, I can say that I haven't seen anything there that would either apply to what you're saying or goes against what you're saying. If anything, this particular issue is of benefit in a time like this. Most people know (But sadly many doctors are not experts on this) that good nutrition and healthy living as well as certain plants will boost one's immunity which enables them to fight disease. Pharmaceutiicals mostly just treat the symptoms. Good healthy living and nutrition is the best thing to strengthen us.

 

So, as I said, there's nothing that I've come across in the mag that looks dangerous. Yeah, one article could he a hinderance to those who are rolling out 5G. Other content could be a hinderannce to the profits and shareholders of Big Pharma. Healthy folk don't make them much money.

  I'd say that pulling the magazine off the shelf has the potential to way more harm than any good. There's some real vital info in there about making us more healthy. And good nutrition = good health which is vital in a time like this.
