A studio-produced dialog between host Bryce Eddy and myself about healthcare corruption. You may have already heard this part as a video on Bitchute in a prior episode.
Listening takes 51 minutes.
This is a Christian station. Some of my best friends these days are Catholics or other faiths, and they all tell me that I am a believer. I tell them that my primary ethical system is from Marcus Aurelius, whose reign ended 180 AD. However, his Stoic ideas predate Jesus.
I have read Meditations, the little book of Aurelius’s personal maxims, over and over and memorized parts. The original manuscript was lost for several hundred years, then rediscovered and preserved. It is one of five books that have been in continuous publication since the invention of the printing press in the mid-1400s.
I LIKE the poetic quality of the George Long translation (this is 45c on Amazon Kindle):
But some people find the newer translation by Gregory Hays easier:
Here are a few sample quotes from the Long edition:
If thou workest at that which is before thee, following right reason seriously, vigorously, calmly, without allowing anything else to distract thee, but keeping thy divine part pure, as if thou shouldst be bound to give it back immediately; if thou holdest to this, expecting nothing, fearing nothing, but satisfied with thy present activity according to nature, and with heroic truth in every word and sound which thou utterest, thou wilt live happy. And there is no man who is able to prevent this.
One man after burying another has been laid out dead, and another buries him; and all this in a short time. Hippocrates after curing many diseases himself fell sick and died.. and lice killed Socrates… What means all this? …All human things are smoke, and nothing at all; and it is not for us, but for the gods, to settle whether we play the play out, or only a part of it. Pass then through this little space of time conformably to nature, and tend thy journey in content, just as an olive falls off when it is ripe, blessing nature who produced it, and thanking the tree on which it grew. … Do not act as if thou wert going to live 10,000 years. While thou can, while you are able, be good.
Look within. Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.
Remind yourself that it is not the future or the past which bears down on you but the present always the present which becomes an even smaller thing when isolated in this way.
It all depends on your opinion of it and that depends on you. Jettison your opinion and you will find yourself like a sailor rounding the headland on a calm sea in a bay without waves.
Bad luck borne nobly is good luck.
Thanks Sad. Situation
Thank you dr Robert for teaching and telling the truth about modern day “healthcare”
Thanks. Just got your book in the mail today!
These writings are SO biblical; I love them.
I have an intense love of scripture, much as you have for this author. Scripture taught well, from someone who knows the original Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic is profound and moving. Scripture itself is a two edged sword, making its mark going in as well as going out. Scripture taught by a knowledgeable person, then searched by someone who loves God and most of His creation, and is eager to know more about Himu2014and to have a relationship with their creatoru2014not in that annoying way into which many Christians fall or are taught, but truly loving Him, is life changing.

Ephesians 6:12 Context
9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is their respect of persons with him. 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all, to stand. 14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace

Robert I spent 5 years with my son diagnosed with ALl at age 5u2026 he had a cord blood transplant.. got GVH grade 4..
It was tough.. heu2019s 22 now.. but I wonder how much pain he went through was unnecessaryu2026..
Iatrogenesis. There’s no end to it. I have fungal toenails that have driven me nuts for years and finally got a script for and bought Lamisil. But I thought about it for about a day and trashed it. Too risky. I”m using Whitfield’s ointment and maybe it doesn’t work dramatically but it’s $3.
Good use of intuition!! I have a friend that nearly died from using Lamisil.
Charlotte, I was about to unsubscribe but I thought I’d read the comments first. I’ve been using off and on the topical Lamisil cream. I can’t imagine nearly dying from using it. I hope you could explain.
My friend was found unresponsive on the floor of her shower and then taken to an emergency room. She was told that she had an allergic reaction. It could be that she was taking an oral tablet. I have lost contact with her.
Thank you for the detail. I wish your friend well.
