The Kali Yuga is a concept in Hinduism about the current age: the age of unprecedented deception and corruption. This is where I post about corruption, conflicts of interest, and other relevant topics.

Since late 2010, I’ve been doing the no-no and researching nutrition and medicine myself. Why? That’s when I was shocked out of my ideological stupor and realized that the vegan diet is not “one diet to rule them all.1

Then, in early 2011 my mother got brain cancer, a GBM IV (Grade 4 Glioblastoma), in her left parietal lobe. Her surgeon said, within ear shot, that she had about 9-10 months to live. Mom was heartbroken, but I thought he was full of shit. My mother was an RN who would often tell me about doctors’ prescription mistakes (and other issues)2 and how MDs think they are God while the Physicians Assistants thinks they’re Jesus Christ .

I reminded her of this soon after I took her out of the hospital against medical advice3. She agreed and was much calmer. Significantly calmer. She lived for 3 years after that; 2.5 years of which were good quality (not crapping herself, light travel, reading, watching stuff, long conversations, and cat petting).

We both attributed her quality of life, at least a lot of that, to an out-of-patent, cheap drug, ingested at a very, very low dose at bedtime called LDN. Her decline was due to the radiation on her brain. The radiation treatment at first didn’t appear to affect mom, but as time progressed, lesions in her brain formed. About six months of steady decline went by, then she arranged to get aspiration pneumonia (deliberately by not thickening fluids) with her doctor and morphine up. Mom worked for hospice part of her career. That was a really effing horrible experience to witness. Watching your brain die and being aware of it, is horrible too. I could have interfered, but I refrained. I’m an assertive asshole, generally, so this was unusual for me to not do anything.

She witness a surgeon cutting into the bowel of a child by mistake—spilling the contents—and then covering it up at the local children’s hospital where she worked (she’s the one who filed the report and the admin removed it).

In 2011 (ancient history), I just signed papers acknowledging AMA & wheeled my mother right out. The admitting Dr said she could leave if the brain surgeon & neurologist agreed, they agreed, but then he declined. I wrote LIAR on the AMA.
