YouTubes New Medical Misinformation Policy Throttles Prominent Naturopath



"As medical information -- and misinformation -- continuously evolves, YouTube needs a policy framework that holds up in the long term, and preserves the important balance of removing egregiously harmful content while ensuring space for debate and discussion," according to YouTube's announcement of its new "misinformation" "policy framework," a euphemism for "censorship regime."

"Moving forward, YouTube will streamline dozens of our existing medical misinformation guidelines to fall under three categories -- Prevention, Treatment, and Denial. These policies will apply to specific health conditions, treatments, and substances where content contradicts local health authorities or the World Health Organization (WHO)," it continues.

Prominent naturopath Dr. Eric Berg, with 11 million subscribers on YouTube, explains here how the new "medical misinformation" policy has affected his standing on the platform.

Dr. Berg, according to his own accounting, has 928 videos pertaining to the ketogenic, or keto, diet, an eating protocol that severely limits the intake of carbohydrates to achieve a state of ketosis, which is the burning of fat as the primary fuel source for the body rather than glucose.

Yet when you search YouTube for "keto diet," none of Berg's hundreds of videos -- even though he has 11 million subscribers and many of them (like this one) have views in the millions, show up in the search results. Instead, the viewer is treated to a barrage of mostly hysterical videos with lesser view counts warning of the dangers of the keto diet.

Try it for yourself.

While limiting carb intake, especially simple carbs, is sage advice, I'm not actually sold on long-term keto being a net positive for all people. But that's neither here nor there.

I have learned an awful lot of valuable information from Dr. Berg over the years. Like any savvy consumer of information -- which we all should strive to be and which our institutions would encourage us to be, were they actually looking out for our interests -- I do not take anything that Berg or anyone else says as gospel truth.

I glean a bit of valuable insight from his channel and then look for other sources that corroborate or dispute his claims. That's how functional adults grapple with new information presented to them.

Instead, under the care of the nanny state, we are exhorted to turn our critical thinking skills off and mindlessly "trust the experts." We ought never to "do our own research," as Forbes instilled in the American public in the context of COVID-19.

Berg is just one of many social media figures with a non-conventional, non-pharmaceutical orientation providing medical information on the web targeted by the corporate state for censorship in the post-COVID era.

British victory in Falklands War might spur Argentina to build nukes CIA feared

Agency worried that Argentina's political isolation following defeat could play a role in a decision to advance its nuclear program The CIA feared that British victory in the 1982 Falklands conflict would encourage Argentina's ruling military junta to step up its efforts to construct nuclear weapons, according to a newly uncovered report. Intelligence analysts at the spy agency examining the issue of nuclear proliferation wrote in a secret report that "the Falkland Islands crisis is raising security issues for Buenos Aires that could influence Argentine attitudes towards the development of nuclear technology." The report, dated 24 April 1982, said: "A humiliation in the Falklands probably would encourage the conclusion that the possession of nuclear weapons - or merely the foreign belief that Argentina had such weapons - might have made the UK more accommodating. A major reverse for Argentina in the dispute could persuade it to proceed to build nuclear weapons....

Osho – forget about being aware

Osho – forget about being aware: rather, start enjoying the thought process in OSHO INSIGHTS ON MEDITATION [A sannyasin says that he is fed up with his mind. I feel I’m never here and I never see anything at all. I try everything: I try meditation, I try to be aware, But often I don’t feel it. Osho checks his energy.] Osho – Two things to be remembered…. One: don’t try to stop it. That’s how you are creating the whole problem; don’t try to stop it. It is very natural to you; you will go crazy if you try to stop it. It will be like a tree trying to stop its leaves; the tree will go mad. The leaves are very natural to it. You are a mind person. If you try to become a heart person you will create so much trouble for yourself, and unnecessarily, because there is a way which goes from the mind itself. There is no need to change yourself into a heart person, mm? That will be against your intrinsic nature. Always listen to your nature, follow your nature. To be natural is to be religio...
