More detoxing with Andy Kaufman
A previous featured Bad Medical Take by @AndrewKaufmanMD (November 21, 2023): Turpentine is one of my favorite ways to help the body detox. [happy emoji] But you can't just take it straight up. [shrugging emoji] There are a few very important steps that you need to follow before you decide to do the Turpentine protocol. [pencil emoji] (Or else you might end up with a cleansing reaction. [green-faced nauseous emoji])

I used to be fond of this tweet, and if it's not in the book, it's probably more entertaining than anything in there
A tweet from Olivia Nuzzi on the night of July 21, 2016, just before Donald Trump delivered his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention: "Just cover his announcement speech," @JFKucinich said to me, the morning of June 16, 2015. "You only have to write about him for today."

Are you not familiar with the two Casablanca TV series
Opening of the Wikipedia page for the 1955 Casablanca TV series: Casablanca is an hour-long American television series, in the genre of spying and intrigue during the Cold War, which was broadcast on ABC between September 27, 1955 and April 24, 1956 as part of the wheel series Warner Bros. Presents. The third of 20 filmed shows produced for ABC, between 1955 and 1963, by Warner Bros. Television, under the supervision of executive producer William T. Orr, Casablanca is also the only one among those shows to be structured in the form of a non-U.S.-based Cold-War-intrigue storyline, while 14 of the 20 productions were western and detective/adventure series. Opening of the Wikipedia page for the 1983 Casablanca TV series: Casablanca is an American drama series, based on the 1942 film of the same name set in the genre of spying and intrigue during World War II. Five episodes were filmed but, following its NBC premiere on April 10, 1983, and two additional installments on April 17 and 24, it was taken off the air. The two remaining unaired episodes were ultimately scheduled four months later, during summer programming, and shown on August 27 and September 3. The show was the second attempt at a TV series based on the movie; the first was a 1955 show starring Charles McGraw as Rick Blaine, which also was short-lived, lasting only 10 episodes.

The antivax commitment
Bad Medical Take from August 6, 2024, showcasing a Xeet from the same account: DG Miller (@DGMiller5x5): Can anyone give me some solid info on why I would not want to take the dTAP vaccine? Our son is making it a condition in order for us to visit our newborn grandson. Based on previous info I won't be taking that injection. Looking for a good summary of reasons. June 13, 2025 Xeet from the same Bad Medical Taker: DG Miller (@DGMiller5x5): Something similar happened to us. Our first grandchild is now one year old and I have not been allowed to visit him because I will not take the dTAP vaccine. And, they are not willing to have a discussion about the dTAP. And they are following the CDC schedule of giving their baby a large number of vaccines. "We think we know best how to care for our child." It's very painful to sit and watch this unfold.

The Bad Medical Take in its original Xitter context: Carnivore Aurelius ©🥩 ☀️🦙 (@AlpacaAurelius): Swishing coconut oil around your mouth for 5-10 mins a day is the greatest thing for your dental health JPK (@JPK553): Started doing this 8 years ago. No cavities since Western dental practices are a scam. No need to drill out cavities.....it's all a money grab Same with wisdom teeth and root canals. All a mineral deficiency HumanBodyPillow (@BuiltLikeBuddha): My wisdom teeth were pushing into the next teeth at a 45 degree angle. Could you please explain how coconut oil or mineral deficiency would fix that? JPK (@JPK553): That's what they are supposed to do. You should have left them alone to let them grow in fully. Mineral deficiency has nothing to do with this. But you already showed that by your sarcasm.

Those Vandy Crisps beef-tallow potato chips are expensive because they're made BY HAND.

Just don't ask *whose* hands are making it.
Excerpt from a Xeet by Vandy Crisps (@Vandy_Crisps): - High-quality, grass-fed, slow-rendered beef tallow is more expensive than that. - We make every chip by hand which is labor-intensive especially given our incredibly high standards for premium quality chips. - The large companies that mass produce chips own almost every chip producing factory in the country.

Yes, let's look at Germanic New Medicine, a pseudoscience that has its roots in anti-Semitism, but also its founder's belief that he got testicular cancer because his son was murdered
from the “Jewish Conspiracy Theory“ section of the Wikipedia entry for Ryke Geerd Hamer, founder of Germanic New Medicine: Hamer purported that his method is a "Germanic" alternative to mainstream clinical medicine, which he claimed is part of a Jewish conspiracy to decimate non-Jews. In this, Hamer repeated the antisemitic claims of Nazi physician Gerhard Wagner. More precisely, Hamer asserted that chemotherapy and morphine are used to "mass murder" Western civilization, while falsely alleging that such treatments are not used in Israel. Hamer promoted the idea that most German oncologists are Jewish and that "no Jew is treated with chemotherapy in Germany." According to him, hypodermic needles are used during chemotherapy to implant "chips" containing "chambers of poison" that can be activated by satellite to specifically kill patients. He proposed that the swine flu vaccination campaign of 2009 was also used to mark people with those "chips" and denied the existence of HIV. Hamer also believed that the denial of recognition of his theories and the revocation of his practitioner's licence were due to a Jewish conspiracy. In 2008, Hamer presented a document where a supposed rabbi, "Esra" Iwan Götz, confirmed the existence of a conspiracy among Jewish oncologists to use the "torture" of chemotherapy on all non-Jewish patients, while Jewish patients were to receive the "correct" treatment of GNM. Götz, a German holocaust denier active in the German Reich revivalism scene, has been repeatedly convicted by German courts for fraud, defamation, misuse of academic titles (the title "Chief Rabbi" is not legally protected in Germany), and the falsification of documents, among others. excerpt from the Wikipedia entry for Ryke Geerd Hamer, founder of Germanic New Medicine: On 8 August 1978, Hamer's son, Dirk, was shot by the son of the last king of Italy, Vittorio Emanuele of Savoy, while asleep on a yacht off Cavallo and died on 7 December of that year. Sometime after Dirk's death, Hamer developed testicular cancer and thought there was a link between the two events, so he began to develop Germanic new medicine (GNM), which can be summarized in its "five biological laws": 1st law ("iron rule"): Severe diseases originate from a shock event which is experienced by the individual as very difficult, highly acute, dramatic, and isolating. The shock’s psychological conflict content determines the location of the appearance of a focus of activity in the brain that can be seen in a CT scan as a set of concentric rings, called Hamer focus or HH (from German: Hamerscher Herd), which correspond to the location of the disease in the body. The subsequent development of the conflict determines the development of both the brain focus and the disease.

And yet many of the boiled-milk cohort still insist that what they drank was raw
Xeet from FangsAndFleur (@Samira_M_E): Many of us grown up on Raw milk healthy and without dying from “dangerous bacteria”. All you had to was boil it. Jan. 23, 2021 Xeet from Preethi Kasireddy (@iam_preethi): I drank raw milk for years as a kid. My aunt would boil the milk just enough to kill bacteria, but not to devoid it of nutritional value like pasteurization does.

Surely something as good and pure as AI Jesus could never be abused or corrupted and turned into a tool of an authoritarian dystopian society, can you imagine such a thing
A still from a scene from the movie THX 1138 where the title character (Robert Duvall) visits a computerized confessional booth decorated with a portrait of Jesus (identified in the movie as “OMM 0000”); the captioning (from Jesus/OMM) reads: “Work hard. Increase production. Prevent accidents. And…be happy.”

Children have behavioural disourders because people started having sex outside of marriage, and also because women insisted on being treated equally. You young whippersnappers just don't appreciate how perfect society was before the ‘60s screwed it all up
A related Xeet from the same Bad Medical Taker: Grace Henderson (@ADHDisTRAUMA): Casual sex wasn't the done thing prior to the 60s, it wasn't that long ago. It has cheapened relationships resulting in the normalisation of family breakdown - and subsequently children with behaviour disorders. Feminism has led to affordable housing becoming unaffordable due to housing pressures and the increased affordability of couples - which adds to the cost of living and puts stress on families that cause family breakdown. Dysfunctional families also cause more crime, suffer more mental health issues and are more likely yo be unemployed.

Reply on Xitter: FRACTALOFGOD (@FRACTALOFGOD33): Shoe do you think it is like a subconscious thing or are women consciously thinking "Wow this dude just jerked it" shoe (@shoe0nhead) [the original Bad Medical Taker]: it’s subconscious. women sometimes refer to it as “the ick” or they will reject the man for being “too nice” when it really is just subconsciously we can smell he gooned to hentai a few hours ago. Reply on Xitter: Prodigy (@ProdigyEV): This is top cope. I’ve bagged women in the past, like 30 minutes after busting a nut shoe @shoe0nhead [the original Bad Medical Taker]: birth control destroys a woman’s gooning radar so that makes sense Reply on Xitter: Ryu (@m29145049): @grok is this actually true or is it one of women usual lies shoe (@shoe0nhead) [the original Bad Medical Taker]: grok was programmed by a man. it doesnt know. this is deep esoteric knowledge passed down from our ancestors unknown to artificial intelligence. Grok's reply in thread #3: No, there's scant scientific evidence for humans detecting recent masturbation via pheromones like some animals do. Human olfaction is weak for such cues, and while sweat or semen odor lingers briefly, it's not a reliable "gooner detector" unique to women. Claims like this often stem from anecdotal intuition or exaggeration rather than biology—more social perception than sniff test.

“Authoritarian societies are cool, actually” – Singapore resident Blake Herzinger
Related Bluesky post from Bad Medical Taker Blake Herzinger: Maybe I’ve been in Singapore too long, but the state killing drug dealers is something I think works. And maybe you haven’t had the pleasure of living in a society with minimal drug abuse, but it’s pretty nice. Excerpt from Wikipedia's page on Singapore: The long-standing hegemony of the PAP [People's Action Party] has led to Singapore being described by academics as an illiberal democracy, or a soft-authoritarian state in which the PAP faces little to no feasible political competition to its rule of the country. The multi-party democratic process of Singapore has been described as "minimal" in comparison to the state's focus on economic development and social order. According to Gordon P. Means, professor emeritus of political science at McMaster University, Singapore reinvented the "benevolent" yet "highly authoritarian" colonial system of governance inherited from Britain rather than forging a full democracy. A conservative ideology of "Asian values" evolved to replace British rule, based on "communal loyalty, distrust of government, and avoidance of individual or collective responsibility for wider public interests", with less regard for human rights in the nascent Western sense. The fact that "neither the public nor elites had experience with democracy" helped create Singapore's political culture, as dominated by status-focused hierarchies committed to economic development. The legacy of Asian values and the limited political culture within Singapore has led to the country being described as "classic illustration of soft authoritarianism", and "profoundly illiberal". Excerpt from Wikipedia page on Singapore: The right to freedom of speech and association is guaranteed by Article 14(1) of the Constitution of Singapore, although there are provisions in the subsequent subsection that regulate them. The government has restricted freedom of speech and freedom of the press as well as some civil and political rights. In 2023, Singapore was ranked 129th out of 180 nations by Reporters Without Borders on the global Press Freedom Index. Freedom House ranks Singapore as "partly free" in its Freedom in the World report, and the Economist Intelligence Unit ranks Singapore as a "flawed democracy", the second freest rank of four, in its "Democracy Index". All public gatherings of five or more people require police permits, and protests may legally be held only at the Speakers' Corner.

It is made by blending various ingredients like vegetables, beans, and starches into a dense, unappetizing loaf that can be eaten without utensils.” followed by a Xeet from @RealDianeYap [the original Bad Medical Taker]: Wealthy software engineers literally demand sustenance like this (eg Huel, Soylent).
