BREAKING - Dr. Aranda surrenders medical license due to state harrassment
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Okay, we're going to be joined in a second by Dr.
Margaret Aranda, who is actually forfeiting her medical license right now because of the amount of pressure that she has received from the state in regard to being one of the brave doctors who prescribed hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin throughout the pandemic.
Here she is joining us.
And I think guest is in green room.
that There we go. Dr.
Aranda, how are you doing? I am doing okay, thank you.
I can't believe that this is happening to you.
I know. Me neither.
I didn't think things would end this way, but it's time and I've been praying a lot about it.
You know, I know God has other things for me, and it's not the end of my story, you know, healing others.
So I don't want my family harassed.
I don't want my house targeted.
So where are you right now?
I'm standing at the U.S. Post Office here.
And you're surrendering your license to practice medicine in the state of California.
Yeah, I'll give you one last look at it.
Please. I have it ready to go.
Make sure I don't drop it.
Oh, there we go.
Wow. That's it.
I'm a physician and surgeon, both in the state of California.
Honestly, it would have expired anyway on June 30th because that's what I was paid up until.
And I want to remind our viewer audience, you were, am I not mistaken, summa cum laude from Stanford?
I was cum laude from CSUN, Cal State Northridge.
And then I went from medical school to internship and residency at USC. And then I transferred as a resident in anesthesiology to Stanford.
And then Stanford liked me, so I was accepted into their critical care fellowship program.
I was one of three residents who was selected to be a fellow.
And so I finished there and then my first job was at the University of Pennsylvania.
I was in three departments.
I wrote three million in NIH grants and then I was asked to be chief of anesthesiology at the Philadelphia VA. So during 9-11 that's what I did and that's who I was.
Wow. Yeah, then my dad got Alzheimer's so we came back to California where my sisters and my dad were.
I was faculty at UCLA in the Department of Anesthesia and Chief of the Surgical Intensive Care Unit at the West Los Angeles VA. So then I was disabled, as you know, from a car accident.
So I spent 12 years in bed, and then God resurrected me, and I was able to save about 3,000 patients through COVID with zero deaths.
The only two patients that died went to the hospital and reportedly got remdesivir and died after that.
The harassment that you've received from the state, that is entirely due to the prescribing of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin throughout the pandemic, correct?
So I will say the answer to that question would be no.
I had a pain practice, so I had a lot of patients on opioids and other pretty heavy duty medications.
When they violated their pain agreement, I terminated them.
And that wasn't a pretty scene for a lot of them.
And my opinion is that a bunch of them got together and wrote the medical board and wrote some bad things about me that nobody can really prove.
And then I had a very disgruntled A former employee who also reported some different things to the medical board.
And all of that was kind of status quo until September 30th when I stood at the door of Governor Newsom's state capitol building with about 15 other doctors and lawyers.
And we petitioned him to veto Bill AB 2098, which puts the California state Government in the office with the patient and the medical doctor.
So nobody was doing anything about it.
Not Children's Health Defense, not Children's Health Defense, not other doctors.
Nobody was doing a single thing and the deadline was coming up.
So me and Carolina Bonita, she does a lot of medical freedom.
You know marketing and just you know Twitter and social media and so she and I got together with and we did a bunch of memes and we posted a lot of stuff and we got a bunch of people to come like a bunch of people were supposed to show up we were supposed to have 2,000 bikers there we were supposed to have all these different groups there so we had this big thing we did and actually it was a very lovely day A lot of us for medical freedom,
we were praying, we were saying all kinds of things about how what was happening with COVID was wrong.
And instead, you know, like nobody came out to talk to us, of course, and there were only about, seemed like there were only about 20 people in the audience.
So we did not have a lot of support from the public, the media, almost nobody.
Children's Health Defense did not cover it.
Other media did not cover it.
So, About 10 days later, I got my first letter from the Medical Board of California asking me to render my medical license and they persisted and kept sort of sequentially elevating their demand with time to the point where within the last week they went to my medical office and then they went to my home.
And they dropped off paperwork to investigators.
Actually I sold one house so they went to two of my homes.
So it's really hard not to feel targeted and violated and insulted and like these people don't seem to have a lot of class about doing things And all of this started when you showed up at the steps of the Capitol to protest the COVID mandates and the vaccine mandates.
It aggravated.
And so most recently, the papers that they dropped off at my house while we were out of state, they sat there for how long, I don't know, because nobody said they dropped it off, demanded that I I surrender three medical charts from three of my patients, which to me violates HIPPO regulations because I'm really not supposed to be giving it to them, that my patients are not complaining and nobody was harmed.
So, they actually also included documentation that looks like, to me, it was supposed to be filled out by each patient.
They wrote each patient's name on three separate pieces of paper, had room for each patient to notarize each document, giving me permission to share their medical record with the Medical Board of California.
None of them did that.
I've had patients regularly contacting our office to make sure that their records are safe and we're not sharing them with anybody we're not supposed to, but it was conspicuous to me that if it was a legitimate inquiry because somebody was harmed, I would be required to give them the medical records of my patients.
But if they're just for something or looking for something without a specific complaint and no harm done to my patients, Then I don't know why they want the charts.
But my patients are extremely worried about it.
They feel very violated as well.
And, you know, I made a promise to them that their records are their records, and I won't give up their records unless I'm required to.
And I don't see that I'm required to if it requires their notified permission, which they included those documents in the same envelope, but they were blank.
Nobody had signed anything.
Which agency is this that has been spearheading the harassment against you and your family?
This is, I'll tell you, just because I have the complaint right here, and I'll open it up.
Do you have the name of the person as well?
Well, yeah. It's a public record.
This is Rob Bonta, the Attorney General of California.
I have to tell you a story about my previous experience with the AG's office in California as well.
Judith T. Alvarado, the supervising Deputy Attorney General, and Marcia E. Barr Fernandez, who's the Deputy Attorney General with their address on South Spring Street in Los Angeles, downtown LA. So I would definitely like to share with you my previous experience with the Attorney General's Office of California.
In 1990, I was assaulted by two guys with a gun outside my apartment on a Saturday morning, bright, sunshiny Saturday morning.
They held a gun to my head and they told me to give them, they were spoken Spanish, I honestly didn't understand what they were saying, but they wanted the keys to my car because I had noticed their car was broken down up above the street where I was.
So I just put my keys in the car and drove away really fast.
I didn't know what else to do. It was just a flight reaction.
So I didn't know what they shot at me.
And people heard it.
They came outside and they The guys ran away, but they left their car there.
It had the hood up at the street.
So I told the neighbors, I told the police, keep an eye on that car.
They're going to come back for that car.
And they did that same day.
They booked them, took them in with gunshot residue on their hands, took them to jail.
And I received a phone call about a week later.
I was actually working jail ward at that time.
They found me and they paged me at LA County Hospital, CJ County Jail Ward.
And told me that because they did not find a bullet shell on the property, that it was my word against theirs because there were no witnesses.
So they let these guys go.
Wow. And nobody would have known who killed me.
They never would have known that car even belonged to them.
So here they get away with that.
California is really a mess.
Yeah, it is.
It is. A lot of respect.
But the story isn't without a happy ending.
You're getting married. You're moving into a new chapter.
It's not like you have no clue what comes next.
You are fortunate, thank God, that on the flip side of this you have a brand new life awaiting you, correct?
Yeah, yeah, and that's, you know, I'm ready to close the door in this chapter.
I actually did a podcast, a short podcast on my Substack this morning, drmargaretaranda.substack.com.
It was on the book of Esther, chapter 4, verse 14, that says, perhaps you were born for a time such as this.
Hold on, let's say it again.
Esther what? Chapter 4, verse 14.
Esther 4, verse 14.
I have two people.
I'm actually the second person in line, so they should be calling me up pretty shortly.
For if you persist in keeping silent at a time like this, relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from another place while you and your father's house will perish.
And who knows whether it was just for such a time as this that you attained this royal position.
Wow. That's a wonderful salvation.
Salvation is what is guaranteed.
That is the message, Dr.
Aranda. Salvation is guaranteed.
That's right. There's nothing that can take away what I have for all eternity with God.
I had that near-death experience.
I went to the door of heaven.
I went to the stairway. God invited me up the stairway.
He told me I could go into heaven.
I look back and I saw planet Earth and I wanted to be with my daughter so I asked her if I could come back and he let me come back and I saved 3,000 patients when I was bedridden for three.
I was bedridden with three big diagnoses.
I had a traumatic brain injury, I had POTS dysautonomia and also vertebral artery dissection.
I was in bed for 12 years and he resurrected me from that.
So that I could come back and save my pain patients and also save the COVID patients.
So I feel that I never should have been here to do any of that.
I never should have gotten my license back.
I mean, they tried to say I still had a traumatic brain injury.
They made me get an MRI of my brain, made me get an EEG, be evaluated by a psychiatrist and a neurologist.
So they put me through the ringer.
And you can see I walk, I talk.
There's really nothing wrong with that.
And you're brilliant. We've done three episodes together.
I want to do another episode with you, and I want us to dissect the speech of Dr.
Martin. Would you do that with me?
Sure. Even without a medical license, you're still such a foreleading medical opinion.
But you're not going to stop practicing.
You're still practicing, right?
You're practicing with geared research.
That's right. I'm a research physician, so I have protocols that I do for COVID, for pain management, for other things, weight loss.
So everybody's a research participant.
I'm eligible.
My license is good in all 50 states.
This is through contracts that the Native American Indians have with the Department of HHS. And everything is done by a new system that a lot of people have not heard of.
It's a private membership association, a PMA. So if you ever hear of a doctor who's practicing medicine through a PMA, it's cash only, no insurance, no nothing.
Is she going next?
Yeah, I think she still is, so she's not calling me yet.
It's still big. Alright, well it seems like you have to get your...
Your T's crossed and your I's dotted.
So we're not going to keep you any longer but I do want you to come back and I want to talk about some of this a little bit more in depth and maybe we could go over that Dr.
Martin clip because I think your opinion is so valid and I want to talk about the Native Americans too and how they're having a renaissance in medicine as a result of all these harassment filings against doctors who heavily went on Can we do a follow-up to this little impromptu at the post office?
Okay. Dr.
Aranda, I am so sorry that you're going through this and it sucks and this is not the day that I've been looking forward to.
I've been pushing you, as you know, not to give it up and, you know, you make the right decision for yourself and...
Your friends support you and you're supported wherever you go.
Not only do your friends support you, but your patients do too.
Stay strong and stay strong.
This sucks.
Yeah, you there?
I'm still here.
I lost you for a second because my phone rang.
I think... Okay.
They're ready for me now. So I'm going to go ahead and put my phone down.
Hi. How are you? Fine.
Okay. This is the moment right here, guys.
She's turning her license over on the show.
We're witnessing it.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Oh, beautiful.
It's going to be in a separate envelope so it doesn't get missed.
Thank you.
Wow.
Is anybody here just to pick up mail, pack a package, or anything like that?
Thank you.
I'm also, if you can hear me, I'm also turning in my DEA license today to the Department of Justice because obviously it's not going to do me any good without my medical license.
Your DEA license? Yeah.
That allows me to prescribe morphine, fentanyl, ketamine, Valium, all of these scheduled drugs.
Wow. It was quite the privilege to be able to do that.
I learned so much. I helped so many people.
I've had a life experience, that's for sure.
And, you know, unlike You know, unlike other doctors who have had their medical licenses suspended, I have not been asked by the American Board of Anesthesiology to surrender my board certification,
but doctors like Dr. Peter Mercola have been asked to, by the American Board of Internal Medicine but doctors like Dr. Peter Mercola have been asked to, by the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Board of Cardiology, to give up James Thorpe. That's crazy.
Right? Yeah, without a doubt.
And then I have this to go Two to three days.
Two to three days?
Mm-hmm. Certified.
Thank you. Five, five, five.
Right. Three, five.
Four, five. What was it?
Four fives.
So I was saying Dr. Jane
James Thorpe is at OBGYN. He has not only his medical license, but also his board certification in OBGYN. That's under...
If it's the red thing.
Raise the green button.
This one's for the medical board getting ready to go.
This is incredible to witness this, Dr.
Arduranda. We're going to share this whole video.
It'll be public.
Thank you. You're the first person I thought of.
I've been praying about this all weekend.
I don't want them coming to my house.
You think that they would come to your house?
No, thank you. No, they already did.
They already came to your house?
Two investigators came to my house that I sold.
Two investigators came to your house?
Mm-hmm. Yep.
Knocked on the door. Filtered.
They knocked down the door?
Oh, they knocked on the door.
Oh. Wow.
I was thinking, dramatic.
I know. Thank goodness.
That would be ridiculous, right?
Very. So you get the picture that they make you feel like a criminal.
Right? Yeah.
Great. This is your tracking number right here.
And there's a surgery at the bottom.
Thank you for reading. In regards to the pain complaints that I've had involving my DEA number and controlled substances, obviously there are doctors that have gone to jail for that.
So I didn't want to become anything near that.
I understand that.
Right.
It's a real unfortunate reality in America.
We need enough.
This is what happens to real doctors.
All the time.
All the time.
Doctors who spend so much money on medical school.
Honestly, Dr.
Rhonda, I'm thinking to myself, how many doctors are out there who probably are so in debt to medical school that they just cuck to the system and do whatever the system requires them to do, kill people even, because of that money that they lured over their head.
The system of debt, it's such a system of death.
Okay. That's true, and a lot of doctors are not like me.
I had my own private practice.
I had no boss.
I had no superiors.
I don't take insurance.
Everything was, you know, outside of insurance, but if you're in an office in a managed care setting or in a hospital, you do everything they tell you to do.
There's protocols that administrators run, so the administrators have taken over the The care of the patients instead of the doctors.
And the doctors go along with it because I have big houses.
They have kids in college.
They have bills to pay.
And I don't.
I lived in a mobile home.
I have a tiny house.
I've lived in a 5,000 square foot house before in Hidden Hills.
Houses down from the Kardashians and I realized when all this happened that I just when I got sick especially that I don't need all that to make me happy I could have stayed married I could have stayed doing work you know what I was doing I could have stayed in bed for the rest of my life in a beautiful house 5,000 square feet with a pool that I built custom-made but I was in a marriage that wasn't true to me And I wasn't willing to compromise my soul for anything,
for a house, for money, for anything.
And that's how I still feel.
And honestly, I wouldn't even care so much if they threw me in jail just because I know they can't hurt me.
There's nothing that they can do to take away my ethics, my morals, what I do before God and not before man.
I'm willing to do anything to do the right thing before God and to keep my Hippocratic oath.
I appreciate you saying that about your Hippocratic Oath.
I don't know if I ever told you this.
I think I did, actually, that my doctor kicked me out of his practice for not getting vaccinated.
And so I take the Hippocratic Oath extremely seriously because me deciding not to get vaccinated was just all that it took for one doctor, Dr.
Dana Eisenman, fake doctor.
To break the Hippocratic Oath.
I couldn't think of a better way to paraphrase what you're doing than honoring the Hippocratic Oath.
Not every doctor even took the Hippocratic Oath.
When I graduated in 1990, our class at USC had three choices.
Take the original oath, modify it, or make up our own.
And if you look at some of today's oaths that medical schools take, it has nothing to do with medical care.
The original oath was no euthanasia, no abortion, passing what you know down to younger generations.
You know, and a lot of doctors today don't want to do that.
But you're still going to be practicing with the Native Americans.
That's right. That's right.
I'll be in a completely different system.
Because the Crow Nation negotiated on behalf of all Native American tribes a treaty with the NIH and the FDA, correct?
With HHS. With HHS. Yes, with HHS. So...
Yeah, there's contracts that are written in there.
I don't have to be American Indian.
My patients don't have to be American Indian.
Any doctor can do this.
You know, there's an application process, of course.
They want to see you graduate of medical school, etc.
They will take what happened to you and your license or your birth certification.
They know a lot of us have been targeted for ivermectin, COVID, keeping patients alive during COVID, you know, so they can make their own choices.
And a lot of us are very careful to Understand what they expect of us and to be very concise about what we're doing to stay within our limits so we don't jeopardize it for anybody.
So there's still a fair amount of care that we have to use, but it's Much different to care about what other people want us to do in a benevolent, protective way versus to care about what the government does not want us to do because we're under a microscope if we're actually helping people and saving lives and cause no harm.
So... This is actually creating a renaissance of medicine across Native American reservations.
This is a story that nobody's talking about, is that a revival of medicine inside of their hospital clinical settings, they're allowed to do all sorts of different treatments that aren't approved by the FDA. Including the implementation of tribal medicine, which is more witchcrafty, folkloric, and some would argue even more effective.
Right, and there are remedies.
Obviously, you know...
I think it's fascinating.
It's kind of like one of those worlds colliding moments where all these western trained doctors are coming over to the Native Americans and something really magical is happening there.
And the Native Americans deserve it too.
Did we lose your video feed?
Nope, there you are.
Are you there? Yeah.
Can you hear me?
Yeah. Okay.
Yeah, I had another call that came through, so I have another appointment I have to pick up, but let's touch base soon.
Yeah. In just a bit.
Okay. From strength to strength, Margaret.
Thank you. Talk soon.
God bless you.
God bless you as well.
Thank you for sharing this day with me.
You made it easier. You're one of us.
We'll talk soon. Bye.
There you saw it first, InfoWarriors.
She turned in her medical license, persecuted by the state for promoting hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, and for protesting outside of the governor's mansion.
