some of your points are valid—but let’s be honest: you’re blaming the very women you claim to be concerned for. it might not be obvious to everyone, because you’ve wrapped your critique in shared cultural anxiety and spiritual language. but the misogyny is clear. the disgust isn’t directed at systems—it’s aimed at girls. and i see through it, Dr. Roger McFillin.
i might write a critique of your critique—because women need to understand how easily we’re conditioned to trust voices that sound protective, but are rigged against us no matter what we do. even your concern is laced with contempt. and that tells me everything.
100% this is just purity culture wrapped in a face of care. Alex is not celebrating women getting STD’s, she is retaliating against a culture that shames women for catching one. Same with reframing and empowering people with a diagnosis. Suicide rates are higher than ever, yet he is concerned people are seeking awareness about mental health and SSRI treatment?
Completely agree! I was on board until I read the commentary on medication. As someone with ADHD that went undiagnosed until my 20s, causing anxiety and depression, I’m not even sure I’d even be here without treatment. Even SSRI’s that I took before getting diagnosed with ADHD helped save me. How is spiritual thinking going to help me keep my job, pay the bills, and do other basic tasks that require some level of executive functioning? The material conditions exist whether I want them to or not. Spirituality is great, but you cant apply it to everything.
Came to say this! Crazy idea but what if the women are having sex for their own pleasure and not someone else’s? I can accept the critique of the content for young girls but every other sentence about it is giving purity culture vibes - maybe we wouldn’t need influencers like Alex if old men would stop telling us what to do with our bodies
Guys like Roger model their arguments after the "original sin" bullshit they tell us about Adam and Eve... Eve is "duplicitous" for convincing Adam to eat the apple, and somehow Adam has zero culpability for making the final decision to eat it his own damn self.
Did you catch how he didn't quote Alex Cooper a single time in this long-ass article, when most of it is supposedly a reaction to problems Alex allegedly personifies? It's because if he did quote her, his slut-shaming "purity culture" nonsense would sound hysterical and over-dramaticto the average reader.
That is not what I took from this at all and I am a woman who is pretty sensitive to this phenomenon. We women aren’t helpless to what we choose to consume. If mothers are taking their daughters to this show they are absolutely complicit in encouraging their daughters to consume this
This is calling for people to have more care and control. In this instance, yes the examples are women… but all people should have more control than we have let ourselves. There was a time when I too would have said “ugh man being critical of woman= mysogeny” but that is a very shallow, accountability dodging read of this essay in my opinion.
so real, the title and cover image choice, combined with the casual disclaimer of «i have a wife btw. and married men are totally not creeps» told way more than the rest of his essay did lol
Alex Cooper is a grown woman, not a girl. the mothers with their children at a sexually explicit show cheering for STDs are also grown women, not girls. Dr. Roger McFillin was not critiquing the children in the situation but the adults.
the only person reducing anyone here is the man who can’t talk about women without bringing up STDs and trauma like they’re proof of moral collapse. your concern for “proper framing” is noted and rejected.
critiquing someones behavior is not reducing them to that behavior.
You are calling adults children. why? what is the point in taking away a woman's agency in her own behavior by calling her a girl? A girl, a child, an adolescent, its the infantilizing adult women, you are just as bad as any misogynist.
i have no idea what you’re on about…. i used «women» more than the word girls. stop replying to me if you have no intentions of using the last two of your braincells
When you start throwing around insults, you've lost the argument.
you used girl as a synonym to women, it doesn't matter is you used «women» more, Woman and girl are not interchangeable. to assume they are, is to believe women are akin to children, that's misogyny :/
I asked why... you couldn't answer. unfortunate really.
ah yes, because nothing screams “i’m a feminist” like lecturing a woman on her word choice instead of engaging with the critique of male power. congrats on becoming the comment section’s honorary mansplainer—just in a slightly softer font.🥴
i wouldn’t bother, it’s more likely that galina is a man pretending to be a woman. they try that when everything else they are so used to reach for, fails.
This is the reason that I am most interested in reading authors like CS Lewis and understanding my faith (Christianity). The Screwtape Letters by Lewis seems to have nailed a lot of topics of current day. This is why I take my young kids to church every Sunday and my main goal as a parent is to give them faith in God- bc I don’t know how they navigate this crazy world without it.
without god YOU are lost...some of us don't require that mental construct to establish, maintain. and adapt a healthy sense of morality that agrees with the bulk of what was said by OP. I am all for YOUR faith in YOUR god to provide YOU with all the comfort and community YOU require. Leave the WE out of it. Take care.
here's a thought: u do u & let me do me. that was the point of me saying don't use the word WE when you mean ME. Or carry on being a snowflake with a persecution complex, u do u...
Forcing your kids to believe in a magical sky daddy ain't the answer, religion is a plague, I'm not saying you should tell them to watch her raunchy ass but indoctrinating them isn't the answer either
I'm trying to indoctrinated you by saying 1 thing in reply to an important comment you made? Oh boy. Your kids will see your Persecution complex from a mile away, if they haven't already. They're already thinking for themselves out of pure embarrassment. Thanks for leaving them an opening to break free. I truly believe God does work in mysterious ways
“The kids these days” said with absolute disgust and disbelief is a statement made by elders since the beginning of humankind. But yet, we are still here. You might just be getting old. I know plenty of great kids including girls and young women. It’s the testosterone fueled war-mongering males that are going to get us all killed. Focus on stopping that and don’t worry too much about young people- they will find their way and end up just about like us when they are all grown up.
Unprecedented rates of depression, anxiety, suicide in a population where it historically did not exist. Over 20% of adolescent girls taking SSRI's... this is NOT typical adolescent development and what they are exposed to (my point of the article) is a root cause factor that needs to be recognized and addressed.
Adolescent girls haven’t been given SSRI’s (or had their mental and physical health properly researched or diagnosed) for long enough to have a generational comparison.
This whole essay proves that we shouldn't want our children to end up like us. The only way forward is to break this cycle of depravity and dehumanization, which I would argue, begins with those very children and the people raising them. But this is no small feat when podcasters, mainstream media, and even medical doctors have normalized the very horrors Dr. McFillin describes here. This is not the same as elders ranting about "those crazy kids listening to rock and roll." This is pornography in the hands of children. It's AI doing everything for us and removing all critical thought from our society. It's doctors dispensing SSRIs like candy. The problem is so much bigger and more complex than it's ever been, because increasingly nonhuman technology and modes of mass communication now exist to bolster and spread these messages. To throw up our hands and say "It'll all work out eventually," is to turn a blind eye to the destruction of humanity.
Actually the statistics show that the doc’s right about girls and young women - positively off the charts rates of anxiety, depression, and misogynistic gender dysphoria which many of the adults around them aid and abet. The kids are most definitely not “alright”, and we ignore the impact of this toxic culture on them at our peril.
Pornography has made girls feel worthless; they are overcompensating in a very destructive way. Then there is the diet that does not support hormonal balance, and stress also throws hormonal balance off, leading to emotional problems, then the docs drug 'em to shut 'em up. Children need a ton of parental input at home, can't be done when both parents work.
Hi-holistic trauma therapist with two decades of experience. No, a lot of the kids won’t “find their way”. How do you “find your way” when your brain has marinated in chemicals since elementary school? How do you “find your way” when you realize that the experts led you down a path that utterly destroyed your body? How do you “find your way” when you realize one day that those body parts that they told you to cut off or alter or those hormones they gave you actually destroyed you?
This is a true holocaust happening all around us every day; the slaughtering of helpless children in the womb by credentialed men and women in white coats, who collect their coins and casually send generations of bereft and broken mothers off to lives of turmoil, anguish, despair. Come, Lord Jesus.
1. People have only recently been concerned about the youth (last century or so) since their upbringing was influenced by the state, corporations, Hollywood, MIC etc. Before that, when parents actually raised their children and passed on their culture, there was no concern about the state of the youth.
2. Testosterone is produced in response to conflict. It promotes conflict resolution.
3. The absence of fathers in the home, and strong male role models generally (in schools etc) is the main driver of gang culture, teenage promiscuity/ pregnancy, hyper sexuality, criminality and failure to launch. Feminism drove men out of the lives of children, and marginalised strong, hard working, decent men. Feminists have formed an alliance with the most power hungry, violent and psychopathic men (and women) in society - namely the state.
4. All wars would end if women collectively agreed to leave the harem of government, partner with ordinary working men instead, raise children at home in a strong family unit (which means careful mate selection before having children), and not ever hit their children. Ending wars begins with peaceful parenting. All of the tyrants of history were beaten as children.
You have described the exact reason I am still practicing at 73 years old. The art of psychotherapy has been hijacked by Pharma, social media, DSM labels,etc. Our current society has developed a tolerance for the absurd and outrageous at the expense of lost cohesion of simple values like kindness, compassion, respect, courtesy, and so on and so on.
Hi-same here! I’m almost 69 and I can’t retire in good conscience. I unplugged from the system, went solo, don’t take insurance, don’t “diagnose” and try to help folks get off of psych meds if they want to (which is an absolute nightmare for most).
But for a lot of people, these meds are lifesaving. Not only if they are suicidal, it keeps them from committing suicide, but it also can give them a quality of life and they are entitled to that
Yes they are. If the meds are causing unpleasant side effects and a person wants psychological support while tapering (with medical supervision) they have that right.
But here's the thing - earth rlly does provide us with everything we need to live a healthy life - with none of the Horrific side effects of man's synthetic toxins. Over 250k prescription "medicines" & not one Cure. Natural medicines & methods Do Cure. Perhaps our approach to sickness needs rethinking as well as an upgrade. Natural cures aren't patentable & r there4 now allowed, hidden or demonized. Seems2me modern/industrial medicine has been co-opted & corrupted2the point of Us believing in & relying on a system that we're paying2slowly kill/disable/enslave us - simply bc we choose convenience & so called xperts rather than personal responsibility. Then again I hav the Gift of "sight" & can see demons & yup they're supremely sneaky & SoVery Real (but nothing2fear if we kno our own power).
Don't possibly kno how u can hav a quality life given the diabolical side effects of BigHarma - ur comment seems2offer a black or white perspective clouded by propaganda. It's always best2 DYOR & keep all options at hand.
Everything has side effect. My thyroid meds have side effects if the dosage is wrong or I gain or lose weight. I still need it. There is nothing black or white about that thinking. YOU are displaying black and white thinking by saying big pharma bad… as if it’s all or nothing. That’s literally black and white thinking 😂
Critical thinking means understanding that even if you personally haven’t experienced something, other people might.
If you’re bleeding out on the side of road you’re gonna deny yourself morphine? For what? To die a martyr for big pharma that doesn’t care about you?
Some people take anti depressants and have a bad experience but sometimes they switch to a different med and have a great experience and they get their life back. You don’t get a trophy for suffering through life.
OhMy easily triggered I c. Pls consider educating urself as there r many Xcellent books&resources available👊
(from an x- hypothyroidism patient who suffered terribly 4Many, many yrs until doing Real Research re God's Real medicines & Finally got Cured. It's amazing what can b accomplished when u take the blinders off & decide2take Responsibility4ur own well-being & stop poisoning urself w/dangerous, synthetic, tainted Chemicals. Best2u&good health.)
Well since you know what you’re talking about, obviously,
Genuinely curious - what would you recommend for someone who doesn’t have a thyroid?
What if their TSH has to stay suppressed due to thyroid cancer?
What if poor T4-to-T3 conversion is a risk, and many natural supplements actually worsen that conversion? (For example: lemon balm - often recommended in place of meds - can suppress thyroid function and worsen T4-to-T3 conversion. Not ideal when your life depends on that process.)
What if that poor conversion impacts iron, which then affects neurotransmitters as well as red blood cell production ?
What if oregano oil thins blood and can’t be used safely by some?
What if a person tried using natural treatments but because natural treatments do still affect biochemistry, they didn’t help or made things worse? What if a person could have the wisdom to know that both options are available and they can utilize both for a healthy and high quality of life?
Because I’m a 13-year thyroid cancer survivor, and I don’t have the luxury of bypassing biochemistry just to prove I did ‘my own research.’ I had orthorexia and then I realized allopathic and natural both have a place in a healthy life.
You think you’re awake? You aren’t even close to it.
Thanks for your perspective! I’m a Family Nurse Practitioner and I saw medicine and nursing heading in this direction 30 years ago. I had to create my own path and practice to stay out of the insanity!
Was somewhat on the same page until you mentioned “gender ideology”. Transgender people exist and people around the world (including children) deserve to know that it’s okay to be transgender. Transitioning changed my life for the better and I would have had a harder time coming to terms with it without having an online community. I was never able to stand up straight or feel good in my body before I accepted my identity, and there’s mountains of research to support the positive effects of gender affirming care. Admittedly, being opening transgender is difficult in a world that is so hostile to us and the community isn’t perfect (it is only human to be fallible). But there’s no denying that we exist, have always existed, and can go on to exist happily like anyone else when given half the chance. I implore you to engage with transgender thinkers on this topic, rather than discount us based on the information given to you by bad actors who are intent on scapegoating us for their own political gain.
We can accept that there is no one way to be a boy or girl, but telling kids they can choose to be a different sex is WRONG and a LIE. Roger is spot on in this article and there is a huge social contagion re being “trans” that has huge repercussions.
That saddens me you feel this way and I know it’s unlikely I could change your mind. I hope you take what I’m going to say next to heart however, that it’s never too late to change. It’s never too late to abandon the path of fear and walk the path of love.
It is a path of love - it’s the truth. Adults of sound mind can choose what they want for themselves but we mustn’t have a society that medicalizes/sterialuzes
Well said. Thank you. Now what? How do you think we should resist? My weapons are prayer and stillness . And believing that as Christ is, so are we in this world. Who will open the scroll? The Lion of the tribe of Judah. I turned and saw a lamb that had been slaughtered. The willing victim that does not succumb to evil. The table will crack and Death itself would start working backwards.
I would like to add to number 1 the way the increasingly violent and extreme imagery/themes of pornography (and OnlyFans) impacts boys and men, along with the addictive nature of it.
Also, to add to number 2, just as we have become desensitized to the tragedy of mass death, we have become desensitized to the power of birth and as an extension, infancy. Babies are born in often (not always of course) unnecessarily overly clinical, overly medical, overly sterilized ways and then go home to be left to cry themselves to sleep so they can better fit into their parent’s work schedules, have robot cradles to rock them lest their parents have to it themselves, and then go to daycare at 8 weeks old.
Not surprisingly, both of these create more opportunity for number three. Porn surely helps sell Viagra for ED, as well as antidepressants. Women with birth trauma and babies with poor attachment potentially go on to seek all sorts of pharmaceutical solutions. Not to mention those mothers on their mental health meds then prioritize that over breastfeeding and that pads the pockets of giant formula manufacturers that non-coincidentally love to use “maternal mental health” in their ads.
People are misdiagnosing themselves to be part of a clique. I have always been irritated by medication ads on TV and lately on streaming. Recently, the ads on YouTube are mostly about ADHD! "This app is perfect for someone who has ADHD!" It looks like that if you break a fingernail, poof! You have ADHD!
I know that you mention a lot about children and adolescents, but the first part of the problem are the parents. As you mentioned in the article, parents dragging their 13-year-old to watch an adult show makes no sense to me. The new generation of parenthood have no boundaries - they just want to be the BFF of their kids, not a role model to guide their kids.
We go on Reddit and Quora, children and teens are depressed, they can't talk to their parents, because the parents are also addicted to their phones or just don't want to take the responsibility of being a parent.
"What I was witnessing wasn't random cultural evolution—it was a systematic dismantling of everything that connects us to our divine nature, our capacity for genuine love, and our potential for authentic growth."
Exactly that. A systemic ongoing, multi-layered attack on humanity. The non-human infiltration happened long long ago.
The good news is the source of this influence is running out of time (frequency bandwidths on the planet are going up, it operates at densities no longer compatible) and in their last-ditch efforts they become increasingly obvious - at least to those able to think/feel for themselves.
Under all that crud and synthetic-like layering this manufactured world has imposed over humanity, under all that the, the divine spark remains, and humans on a planet with everything they need provided, remains.
Everyone who remembers their humanity, who recognizes love is real, and that we transmit and receive frequencies, can align to higher frequencies, the Natural world and anchor them in. Thank you for doing that.
We're witnessing a series of implosions - geopolitically, financially, culturally - that have to happen before humans can re-organize, reclaim and recalibrate this planet in human friendly ways. We are here for such an amazing time. No doubt it's incredibly challenging.
We need much bigger contexts to understand what's happening.
To that end, I listened to this recently, and appreciated Heather's ability to weave in those larger contexts.
I have been following your work for quite some time after coming across Dr. Jessica Taylor. As a current undergraduate psychology student, I avidly seek opportunities to educate myself more on the harms causes by psychotropic medications, pathologizing emotions, and shifts in our collective conscious that are harmful and topsy-turvy. I will continue to challenge harmful ideologies that have become normalized in my academic endeavors and in my relationships. I appreciate your work and admire your courage going against the machine that is the pharmaceutical industrial complex. Thanks doc.
some of your points are valid—but let’s be honest: you’re blaming the very women you claim to be concerned for. it might not be obvious to everyone, because you’ve wrapped your critique in shared cultural anxiety and spiritual language. but the misogyny is clear. the disgust isn’t directed at systems—it’s aimed at girls. and i see through it, Dr. Roger McFillin.

you’re exactly who these men go for. you do you though because rather your gullible ahh than me🫶
This is calling for people to have more care and control. In this instance, yes the examples are women… but all people should have more control than we have let ourselves. There was a time when I too would have said “ugh man being critical of woman= mysogeny” but that is a very shallow, accountability dodging read of this essay in my opinion.
I'm glad someone called that part out. I knew it was a man before he did the whole "as a father of daughters" speil
so real, the title and cover image choice, combined with the casual disclaimer of «i have a wife btw. and married men are totally not creeps» told way more than the rest of his essay did lol
Alex Cooper is a grown woman, not a girl. the mothers with their children at a sexually explicit show cheering for STDs are also grown women, not girls. Dr. Roger McFillin was not critiquing the children in the situation but the adults.

You’re so raped and you don’t even know it :/ God bless your heart
Accountability is not blame, dear.
And the rest of the braindead female responses here? Meh...
say you’re misogynistic and go. because starting a debate (or whatever you call that response of yours) with me won’t read well :)
I already gave u all u need: accountability. But keep on unpacking those truths, gurrll
nothing says “i lost” like sarcasm in place of substance. but thanks for playing.
nanou says with a heavy dose of sarcasm. but its all lowercase...so we know its brimming with 'substance'.
no no—keep going. i want to see how many straws you’ll reach for just to convince yourself you mattered in this conversation.
maybe my shoe size?
Ahh..the m word…another self-terminating cliche that means nothing.
give me something that makes sense. because untill then? yes wear your misogyny like a flag.
This 🎯
This! I agree either way you completely and that is exactly how I perceived this article as well.
trying to understand your viewpoint...is any critique of women (not systems) valid or are they all misogyny?
It sounds like you are already lost
Ooh, you ate!
The raped.
This is the reason that I am most interested in reading authors like CS Lewis and understanding my faith (Christianity).

This is why I take my young kids to church every Sunday and my main goal as a parent is to give them faith in God- bc I don’t know how they navigate this crazy world without it.
Exactly right! Without God, we are utterly lost. We weren’t meant to traverse this life on our own.
Magical beings are not real. No one hovers over you. You are being scammed.
Here's a thought: u do u & let her do her...Or, just b easily Triggered.
without god YOU are lost...some of us don't require that mental construct to establish, maintain. and adapt a healthy sense of morality that agrees with the bulk of what was said by OP. I am all for YOUR faith in YOUR god to provide YOU with all the comfort and community YOU require. Leave the WE out of it. Take care.
So....You can hav/XpressMusic Your opinion but she shouldn't bc You disagree. Ok got it.
here's a thought: u do u & let me do me. that was the point of me saying don't use the word WE when you mean ME. Or carry on being a snowflake with a persecution complex, u do u...
Eyes R Useless When the Mind is Blind-Hypnotized-Owned
the idea of God may temper our confusion in this life, but to me, that comfort doesn't suggest one's arrival at a truth
2 completely different things.
Forcing your kids to believe in a magical sky daddy ain't the answer, religion is a plague, I'm not saying you should tell them to watch her raunchy ass but indoctrinating them isn't the answer either
& watching her raunchy ass isn't indoctrination??? There R many means of indoctrination - u pic yours & let her have her choice.
Magical sky daddy is the gateway to something that actually is there and you'll only understand that when you're mature enough
Oh honey, sure. Blame your delusion on my “immaturity” if that helps you sleep at night
Yeah, don't come crying when your old ass is left alone saying "WhY wOnT mY kIdS tAlK tO mE"
Sincerely, "the left" 🤣🤣🤣
What a weird way to think about your kids, wanting tobe their first enemy sure is crazy work
If you like CS Lewis wait until you read Mirari Vos and Quanta Cura :-}
Better figure out how to, just in case they ever decide to drop the faith you've forced onto them.
It's almost as if we were once kids like yours and had to learn to develop morality outside of the corrupt faith we were forcefed
I'm trying to indoctrinated you by saying 1 thing in reply to an important comment you made? Oh boy. Your kids will see your Persecution complex from a mile away, if they haven't already. They're already thinking for themselves out of pure embarrassment. Thanks for leaving them an opening to break free. I truly believe God does work in mysterious ways
“The kids these days” said with absolute disgust and disbelief is a statement made by elders since the beginning of humankind. But yet, we are still here. You might just be getting old. I know plenty of great kids including girls and young women. It’s the testosterone fueled war-mongering males that are going to get us all killed. Focus on stopping that and don’t worry too much about young people- they will find their way and end up just about like us when they are all grown up.
Unprecedented rates of depression, anxiety, suicide in a population where it historically did not exist. Over 20% of adolescent girls taking SSRI's... this is NOT typical adolescent development and what they are exposed to (my point of the article) is a root cause factor that needs to be recognized and addressed.
Adolescent girls haven’t been given SSRI’s (or had their mental and physical health properly researched or diagnosed) for long enough to have a generational comparison.
I just watched a documentary episode about people who want to get off SSRI’s…. Shook me to the core.

Child sacrifice is not a thing of the past.
Abortion.
>It’s the testosterone fueled war-mongering males that are going to get us all killed.
Tell that to the billions of children murdered in the womb and used in psycopathic scientific experimentation to fulfill people's 'wishes.'
This is a true holocaust happening all around us every day; the slaughtering of helpless children in the womb by credentialed men and women in white coats, who collect their coins and casually send generations of bereft and broken mothers off to lives of turmoil, anguish, despair. Come, Lord Jesus.
You no idea what's coming. Your ignorance is palpable. Your indoctrination is showing through too…

1. People have only recently been concerned about the youth (last century or so) since their upbringing was influenced by the state, corporations, Hollywood, MIC etc. Before that, when parents actually raised their children and passed on their culture, there was no concern about the state of the youth.
2. Testosterone is produced in response to conflict. It promotes conflict resolution.
3. The absence of fathers in the home, and strong male role models generally (in schools etc) is the main driver of gang culture, teenage promiscuity/ pregnancy, hyper sexuality, criminality and failure to launch. Feminism drove men out of the lives of children, and marginalised strong, hard working, decent men. Feminists have formed an alliance with the most power hungry, violent and psychopathic men (and women) in society - namely the state.
4. All wars would end if women collectively agreed to leave the harem of government, partner with ordinary working men instead, raise children at home in a strong family unit (which means careful mate selection before having children), and not ever hit their children. Ending wars begins with peaceful parenting. All of the tyrants of history were beaten as children.
You have described the exact reason I am still practicing at 73 years old. The art of psychotherapy has been hijacked by Pharma, social media, DSM labels,etc. Our current society has developed a tolerance for the absurd and outrageous at the expense of lost cohesion of simple values like kindness, compassion, respect, courtesy, and so on and so on.
Hi-same here! I’m almost 69 and I can’t retire in good conscience. I unplugged from the system, went solo, don’t take insurance, don’t “diagnose” and try to help folks get off of psych meds if they want to (which is an absolute nightmare for most).
You should join the Conscious Clinician Collective! We need you in our directory
Is this directory something available to clients in all states? I’d like help finding a professional who isn’t taken by the system
I will look into that. Thank you!
But for a lot of people, these meds are lifesaving. Not only if they are suicidal, it keeps them from committing suicide, but it also can give them a quality of life and they are entitled to that
Yes they are. If the meds are causing unpleasant side effects and a person wants psychological support while tapering (with medical supervision) they have that right.
But here's the thing - earth rlly does provide us with everything we need to live a healthy life - with none of the Horrific side effects of man's synthetic toxins. Over 250k prescription "medicines" & not one Cure. Natural medicines & methods Do Cure. Perhaps our approach to sickness needs rethinking as well as an upgrade. Natural cures aren't patentable & r there4 now allowed, hidden or demonized. Seems2me modern/industrial medicine has been co-opted & corrupted2the point of Us believing in & relying on a system that we're paying2slowly kill/disable/enslave us - simply bc we choose convenience & so called xperts rather than personal responsibility. Then again I hav the Gift of "sight" & can see demons & yup they're supremely sneaky & SoVery Real (but nothing2fear if we kno our own power).
Find me a plant that will give me T4
Don't possibly kno how u can hav a quality life given the diabolical side effects of BigHarma - ur comment seems2offer a black or white perspective clouded by propaganda. It's always best2 DYOR & keep all options at hand.
Everything has side effect. My thyroid meds have side effects if the dosage is wrong or I gain or lose weight. I still need it. There is nothing black or white about that thinking. YOU are displaying black and white thinking by saying big pharma bad… as if it’s all or nothing. That’s literally black and white thinking 😂
Critical thinking means understanding that even if you personally haven’t experienced something, other people might.
If you’re bleeding out on the side of road you’re gonna deny yourself morphine? For what? To die a martyr for big pharma that doesn’t care about you?
Some people take anti depressants and have a bad experience but sometimes they switch to a different med and have a great experience and they get their life back. You don’t get a trophy for suffering through life.
OhMy easily triggered I c. Pls consider educating urself as there r many Xcellent books&resources available👊
(from an x- hypothyroidism patient who suffered terribly 4Many, many yrs until doing Real Research re God's Real medicines & Finally got Cured. It's amazing what can b accomplished when u take the blinders off & decide2take Responsibility4ur own well-being & stop poisoning urself w/dangerous, synthetic, tainted Chemicals. Best2u&good health.)
Well since you know what you’re talking about, obviously,
Genuinely curious - what would you recommend for someone who doesn’t have a thyroid?
What if their TSH has to stay suppressed due to thyroid cancer?
What if poor T4-to-T3 conversion is a risk, and many natural supplements actually worsen that conversion? (For example: lemon balm - often recommended in place of meds - can suppress thyroid function and worsen T4-to-T3 conversion. Not ideal when your life depends on that process.)
What if that poor conversion impacts iron, which then affects neurotransmitters as well as red blood cell production ?
What if oregano oil thins blood and can’t be used safely by some?
What if a person tried using natural treatments but because natural treatments do still affect biochemistry, they didn’t help or made things worse? What if a person could have the wisdom to know that both options are available and they can utilize both for a healthy and high quality of life?
Because I’m a 13-year thyroid cancer survivor, and I don’t have the luxury of bypassing biochemistry just to prove I did ‘my own research.’ I had orthorexia and then I realized allopathic and natural both have a place in a healthy life.
You think you’re awake? You aren’t even close to it.
And we get what we tolerate.
Thanks for your perspective! I’m a Family Nurse Practitioner and I saw medicine and nursing heading in this direction 30 years ago. I had to create my own path and practice to stay out of the insanity!
You managed to get through that without mentioning assisted dying - (aka, Euthanasia).
Was somewhat on the same page until you mentioned “gender ideology”. Transgender people exist and people around the world (including children) deserve to know that it’s okay to be transgender. Transitioning changed my life for the better and I would have had a harder time coming to terms with it without having an online community. I was never able to stand up straight or feel good in my body before I accepted my identity, and there’s mountains of research to support the positive effects of gender affirming care. Admittedly, being opening transgender is difficult in a world that is so hostile to us and the community isn’t perfect (it is only human to be fallible). But there’s no denying that we exist, have always existed, and can go on to exist happily like anyone else when given half the chance. I implore you to engage with transgender thinkers on this topic, rather than discount us based on the information given to you by bad actors who are intent on scapegoating us for their own political gain.
We can accept that there is no one way to be a boy or girl, but telling kids they can choose to be a different sex is WRONG and a LIE. Roger is spot on in this article and there is a huge social contagion re being “trans” that has huge repercussions.
That saddens me you feel this way and I know it’s unlikely I could change your mind. I hope you take what I’m going to say next to heart however, that it’s never too late to change. It’s never too late to abandon the path of fear and walk the path of love.
It is a path of love - it’s the truth. Adults of sound mind can choose what they want for themselves but we mustn’t have a society that medicalizes/sterialuzes
Children and vulnerable.
Well said. Thank you. Now what? How do you think we should resist? My weapons are prayer and stillness . And believing that as Christ is, so are we in this world. Who will open the scroll? The Lion of the tribe of Judah. I turned and saw a lamb that had been slaughtered. The willing victim that does not succumb to evil. The table will crack and Death itself would start working backwards.
You are resisting!
I hope so.
Amen! Christ reigns victorious over all of this.
Yes he does. He sits in the heavens and laughs.
Excellent post. And oh how I can relate to this: "And somewhere in that moment, I felt a piece of my soul die."
Mental health professionals have ignored the attack on everyone via internet “porn” for 20 years. It’s so beyond insane.
Imagine trying to become the first woman President, and going on this show.
Very good points all around in this one!
I would like to add to number 1 the way the increasingly violent and extreme imagery/themes of pornography (and OnlyFans) impacts boys and men, along with the addictive nature of it.
Also, to add to number 2, just as we have become desensitized to the tragedy of mass death, we have become desensitized to the power of birth and as an extension, infancy. Babies are born in often (not always of course) unnecessarily overly clinical, overly medical, overly sterilized ways and then go home to be left to cry themselves to sleep so they can better fit into their parent’s work schedules, have robot cradles to rock them lest their parents have to it themselves, and then go to daycare at 8 weeks old.
Not surprisingly, both of these create more opportunity for number three. Porn surely helps sell Viagra for ED, as well as antidepressants. Women with birth trauma and babies with poor attachment potentially go on to seek all sorts of pharmaceutical solutions. Not to mention those mothers on their mental health meds then prioritize that over breastfeeding and that pads the pockets of giant formula manufacturers that non-coincidentally love to use “maternal mental health” in their ads.
Excellent article!
People are misdiagnosing themselves to be part of a clique. I have always been irritated by medication ads on TV and lately on streaming. Recently, the ads on YouTube are mostly about ADHD! "This app is perfect for someone who has ADHD!" It looks like that if you break a fingernail, poof! You have ADHD!
I know that you mention a lot about children and adolescents, but the first part of the problem are the parents. As you mentioned in the article, parents dragging their 13-year-old to watch an adult show makes no sense to me. The new generation of parenthood have no boundaries - they just want to be the BFF of their kids, not a role model to guide their kids.
We go on Reddit and Quora, children and teens are depressed, they can't talk to their parents, because the parents are also addicted to their phones or just don't want to take the responsibility of being a parent.
Yes exactly to the point about parents being their child’s friend and not their parent. DANGEROUS!!
Oh look, another man who thinks he needs to share his opinion on something he admits he knows nothing about. How refreshing 🙄
"What I was witnessing wasn't random cultural evolution—it was a systematic dismantling of everything that connects us to our divine nature, our capacity for genuine love, and our potential for authentic growth."
Exactly that. A systemic ongoing, multi-layered attack on humanity. The non-human infiltration happened long long ago.
The good news is the source of this influence is running out of time (frequency bandwidths on the planet are going up, it operates at densities no longer compatible) and in their last-ditch efforts they become increasingly obvious - at least to those able to think/feel for themselves.
Under all that crud and synthetic-like layering this manufactured world has imposed over humanity, under all that the, the divine spark remains, and humans on a planet with everything they need provided, remains.
Everyone who remembers their humanity, who recognizes love is real, and that we transmit and receive frequencies, can align to higher frequencies, the Natural world and anchor them in. Thank you for doing that.
We're witnessing a series of implosions - geopolitically, financially, culturally - that have to happen before humans can re-organize, reclaim and recalibrate this planet in human friendly ways. We are here for such an amazing time. No doubt it's incredibly challenging.
We need much bigger contexts to understand what's happening.
To that end, I listened to this recently, and appreciated Heather's ability to weave in those larger contexts.

I have been following your work for quite some time after coming across Dr. Jessica Taylor. As a current undergraduate psychology student, I avidly seek opportunities to educate myself more on the harms causes by psychotropic medications, pathologizing emotions, and shifts in our collective conscious that are harmful and topsy-turvy. I will continue to challenge harmful ideologies that have become normalized in my academic endeavors and in my relationships. I appreciate your work and admire your courage going against the machine that is the pharmaceutical industrial complex. Thanks doc.
