Are Doctors Ignoring the Trees in the Forest? A Five-Year-Old Child's Look at Diabetes and "Autoimmune Disease"

Oh nothing, just me "doing my own research"...

I spent the past couple of years digging deep into the existential picture of how exactly modern medicine doesn’t work works. I did it because I really wanted to understand it, understand it in my own way. Having grown up in a medical family as a somewhat spacey philosophical child, I have a very curious mind that wants to connect philosophy and health, and…

And here is my conclusion. It is very strange but it seems to me that, trying to understand it like a peasant, from the inside, have figured out some things that a lot of extremely smart and well-educated doctors don’t want to see—and I mean, not controversial stuff, basic stuff. How biology works.

That really is very strange to me because I greatly respect the effort that good people invest in their in-depth education. I respect it even when the only formal education available is in the belly of the Machine. (True, our medicine has been some shape of “Rockefeller medicine” for over a century now. Also true, the curriculum in medical schools has been shaped by industrialists with a focus on one thing, How-to-Push-Pills-and-Vaccines-That-Industrialists-Wanna-Sell. But still.)

On the individual level, given the nature of the healing profession, the lack of an open mind in many western practitioners stuns me. They know so much about highly specialized fancy stuff such as intricate biochemical processes, biomarkers, genes, etc. etc. But it seems like keeping their focus on the fancy stuff that they had paid so much money to learn hides from them the basic stuff.

I am going to use a metaphor. Imagine a construction site. Imagine that due to the site being poorly managed, the workers keep dropping bricks on people’s heads every now and then. A researcher is invited to investigate. Investigate, he does, and so he publishes a paper that describes the issue with a focus on how gravity compels the brick to fall down and the speed at which it fell, etc. I mean, yes, but….that is not the only thing that is going on there! There is also a poorly managed construction site! (A conspiracy theorist might add that it is not just poorly managed but poorly managed by design. :)

Going back to medicine, looking at it through the eyes of my inner five-year old child, I can’t help but conclude that a lot of commonly diagnosed syndromes of today are pure fiction. As in, imaginary syndromes. As in, they don’t exist. People's symptoms are not imaginary, people's suffering are real—but the syndromes aren't.

Correlation between toxo and autoimmune disease

For example, there is this mysterious beast, “autoimmune disease." As a peasant, I don't claim to understand it in intricate detail but it seems to me that the use of this umbrella term is misguided, and that at least in some cases, the immune response that body launches is not "auto" anything, it's just that the doctors don't know how to look for the bug(s) that the body is fighting against. But because some ideas are so baked into how doctors and researcher are taught to think, they look straight at the problem …. and don’t see.

Here is one paper about a correlation between toxo seropositivity and autoimmune disease.

The interpretation in this paper is fascinating, and in my opinion likely misguided. Seeing that there is a correlation between toxo seropositivity and autoimmune disease, the researchers conclude that something about carrying toxo may be making people prone to developing autoimmune disease. But what if the so called “autoimmune disease” in their case is not autoimmune? What if whatever their body is doing, it is doing that because it is trying to fight toxo off, and the doctors don't understand fully how either toxo or human immune response work?

And of course, each person is different, and there might be multiple things happening at the same time, and people could be carrying multiple hostile bugs engaging in hidden microbial wars on our "terrain," and environmental toxicity is not helping anyone (but the industrial class) ... true, all true ... but ... but ... how come the most obvious biological interpretation does not even come up in the paper? Why is that?

Correlation between fungal infections and diabetes

There seems to be a recurring theme where fungal infections are shown to be correlated with diabetes.

Here is another report that speaks of the connection between fungal infections and diabetes and also kind of confirms my COVID theory in a roundabout way:

The official conclusion is that diabetes is the primary illness, and due to endocrine imbalances and weakened immunity, opportunistic fungal infections take reign. But my inner five-year-old scientist has a question. What if the body is weakened by toxicity and an impoverished microbiome, and then fungal infections take reign, and then people develop imbalances and reactions that doctors then qualify as “diabetes,” at least type 1 or type 1.5 diabetes?

Also allegedly, doctors view mold growth in the toilet as a sign to get concerned about diabetes. Well, what if… it’s a sign of mold in the house, and perhaps inside the person’s body, and “diabetes” comes as a result of either mycotoxins or both mycotoxins and an actual mold infection? But nobody checks?

Me, I don’t know. I am just asking question. But it seems to me that I have a point, and my gut feeling tells me that I may be onto something with all this. Which, if true, would mean that I might have caught the tail something without billions in funding, in a manner of a five-year old child. But of course, this finding helps the industrial class not at all, so…

Also, why are antimalarial medications prescribed against lupus? Why is antiparasitic / antifungal ivermectin allegedly effective against other “autoimmune disease”?

There is also a correlation reported between fungal infections and asthma, I plan to write about that, too.

I am very curious to hear your thoughts, whether you have a medical education or not.

Am I crazy drawing these connections? It could be—but what if I am not?
