Naturopathy expert Dr. Peter Glidden reveals how ALLOPATHIC MEDICINE is killing...

Time Text
Welcome to today's interview here on Briteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.
And, you know, for about 25 years, I've been learning and teaching nutrition, various forms of naturopathic intervention, the incredible healing power of not just herbs and nutrients, but mind, mind and body resonating to heal and the fact that you were born with these incredibly powerful healing properties that simply need to be invoked.
And our guest today is truly an expert in this realm.
His name is Dr. Peter Glidden, and his website is leavebigpharmabehind.com.
Here it is.
And he joins us now to share some of the wisdom that he has learned over the years about how you can be the hero of your own health journey by leaving big pharma behind.
So Dr. Glidden, welcome to the show today.
Mr. Adams, I appreciate the invitation very much.
I'm a fan also.
There's not very many of us that have been standing up on this hill and waving this flag.
You're one of them.
So respect.
Oh, wow.
Thank you.
That means a lot.
And yeah, I remember when I was doing Counterthink cartoons in 2005 that were poking fun at big pharma and the cancer industry and the vaccine industry.
I was considered a fringe heretic at the time.
Now it's become a lot more acceptable.
So let me start actually with that question first that your book, and you've got an upcoming course we'll talk about.
You talk about the dangers of big pharma.
That idea has become a lot more mainstream since COVID.
Can you speak to that shift that has taken place?
Well, there has been a shift because, you know, the curtain during COVID on the shenanigans that are inherent in the monopolized medical system lifted a little bit and people got to see the man behind the curtain and start to question the validity of a lot of things having to do with mainstream medicine.
So that was a good thing.
You know, when I graduated naturopathic medical school in 1991, I think there were four states that licensed and regulated naturopathy.
There's 23 right now.
However, right, we're not so enlightened as we think we are because in this great state of Tennessee, it's a felony to practice naturopathic medicine.
And in Florida, it's a misdemeanor.
It's only licensed and regulated in 23 states.
So what does that mean that the laws of science or the laws of nature change when you cross a state line?
Right.
It has everything to do with Turf and a medical monopoly that's been in place since 1913.
And that did start to shift a little bit post-COVID, but it's my, you know, I am of the opinion that the only thing that's going to dramatically change the medical metric in this country or quite frankly in the free world is, you know, some like apocalyptic event.
Because big pharma has its talons in everything.
And we have been socialized for over 100 years to believe that the medical doctors, the MDs, are the only people with the secret decoder ring to medicine.
And everybody else is a back of the bus quack with substandard dangerous training.
That's a lie, but that's the predominant thought worm that's inside of most people's heads.
Now, people are starting to see, to break out of that and to look for actionable alternatives, which are safe and proven and science-based and clinically verified.
That much is true.
I haven't seen a dramatic change, though, since COVID, and I don't know.
This is really interesting.
If we look at the results of all these years of being indoctrinated with the pharmaceutical narrative and doctors being essentially skinbag pharmaceutical vending machines.
If you look at the results, you just go out in public, go to a grocery store, go to a mall, look at people.
They are sick.
They are diseased.
They are obese.
They are suffering.
I mean, their skin doesn't even look healthy.
I'm not trying to be mean.
I'm not naming people, but I have been, I have looked at scenes in public where I thought these people are barely human.
Like they're a pale shadow of what I remember two generations ago.
And then this chronic degenerative disease is only perpetuated even after this recent election.
We get new people running the FDA, the CDC, HHS.
But primarily they're like, hey, let's just make our current system more efficient with AI.
Yeah, that's right.
Right?
There hasn't been a revolution from top down at all.
No, everybody was hoping that Maha would do that, right?
But I never thought Bobby Kennedy was up to snuff in that regard.
I tell you what's necessary and what's needed, and it is the Zen cord, the Zen sword that would fix this entire problem, is medical freedom.
Yes.
As argued for by Dr. Benjamin Rush over 200 years ago, right, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, I'm loosely paraphrasing.
Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize itself into a dictatorship.
Restricting the art of medicine to one class of people and denying equal privileges to others will constitute the bastille of medical science.
All such laws are un-American and despotic.
⁇ End quote.
And that's exactly what happened.
In 1913, through the advocacy of the Carnegies and the Rockefellers, Congress granted the American Medical Association exclusive control over who could and who couldn't practice medicine.
They effectively ensconced the MDs into first place.
And they've maintained their position at the top ever since with the unbelievable political power and financial largesse of the pharmaceutical industry ever since.
It's a self-regulating, self-policing medical system.
The only thing in the United States that can legally treat a disease is a drug.
Let me say that one more time for the listening audience.
In the United States of America, the only thing that can legally treat a disease is a drug.
And the only people really that, you know, your medical insurance pays for is MD-directed doctors.
The only medicine that they practice in your hospital is MD-directed medicine.
The only medicine that they make TV shows about is MD-directed medicine.
And the only medicine that they do research on at your alma mater is MD-directed medicine.
Therefore, for people who are not in the know historically, who don't know the arc of the situation here, it's easy to think, well, the MDs, bless their hearts, must be better at what they do than their competition because they're everywhere all the time.
That's a logical conclusion, unless and until you enter the data point of the hostile takeover of the medical market in the early 1900s.
I swear to God, Mike, the only reason that the MDs continue to exist as a profession is because they legislated themselves there.
We are in the middle of a chronic disease epidemic.
Obesity is everywhere all the time.
It's bad.
Alzheimer's is everywhere all the time.
Autism, don't even get me started.
Chronic disease is getting worse.
It's not getting better.
Life expectancy is getting shorter.
It's not getting longer.
And wait for it.
The leading cause of death or the third leading cause of death, depending on how you crunch the numbers, is MD-directed medical therapeutics.
And the leading cause of bankruptcy is MD-directed medical therapeutics.
It is a freaking race to the bottom.
But Dr. Glinton, RFK Jr. got the Hershey company to agree to remove dyes by the year 2027 from their processed diabetes-inducing junk food.
Why isn't that worth celebrating?
Well, it is worth celebrating.
That's a win.
But, you know, all that this is going to do is clean up the corruption in conventional medicine that's then going to give more people more confidence in this system of medicine, which is really good, by the way, for trauma care and surgery when it's indicated.
That's the wheelhouse.
I agree with you of MD directed medicine.
But most people don't understand this.
So all that Bobby Kennedy is going to do is clean up corruption and give people more confidence in the system of medicine that has failed them and that has generated the chronic disease epidemic.
The system itself needs to change, right?
The system itself needs to be transcended.
You can't fix the problem that created it.
If we stay on this current path, because we can project the trends of where we're going.
And as you are well aware, we are seeing more advanced stage chronic degenerative disease in younger and younger people.
We're seeing colon cancer in teenagers now.
We're seeing heart disease in 20-year-olds.
We're seeing 20-year-old athletes dropping dead in the middle of a soccer match or a marathon at numbers that are extraordinary.
We didn't used to see that before at all.
And also, observationally, and most of our audience will agree with this, the people that you know that take a lot of pharmaceuticals are the least healthy people you know.
And the people you know that eat the healthiest foods and have nutrition and herbs and, you know, exercise and sunlight, they're the healthiest people that you know.
So why is that, which is so just, it's a first-person observational truth that is undeniable.
How is it that people can still be trained to say, no, I need my doctor to heal me?
It's 100 years of socialization, confirmation bias, and cognitive dissonance.
It's like Max Planck said.
Max Planck, right, the guy that discovered quantum physics, he was really outspoken, kind of like you and I. And he had hundreds of quotes.
My most famous or my favorite Max Planck quote is, science changes one funeral at a time.
Right.
I'm familiar with that quote, yeah.
Because the old guard has to die off before the new ideas are accepted.
Even though the new ideas are true and correct, it takes a while for them to be accepted.
It's even worse in the suffering mass of humanity because most people aren't, you know, they're not any smarter than a fifth grader.
And it becomes reality by consensus.
You just look around and MD-directed medicine is everywhere all the time.
And so, and look, man, when people are sick, they're scared and rightly so.
And they got to do something.
So what are they going to do?
Well, they're going to go to the only show in town.
And that's MD-directed allopathic, reductionistic, Machiavellian mechanistic medicine.
They don't really know these distinctions.
They just know that it's the only thing that their insurance pays for.
So when push comes to shove, they're just going to shut up and do what the doctor says because that's what they've been culturally conditioned to do.
Now, that is starting to change, but I don't think there's going to be anything dramatic in our lifetimes.
You mentioned even insurance, that people misunderstand the role of insurance, obviously.
But yet I saw a chart recently that showed that the average household income expenditure on food and groceries is shrinking, shrinking, shrinking over time.
But the household expenditures on health insurance and medical procedures is expanding, expanding, expanding.
So as the food is getting cheaper or people are buying cheaper and cheaper, more processed, more nutrient-deficient foods, their healthcare costs are expanding to fill the gap, which really leads to a very important fundamental truth that I know you teach, which is if you invest in healthy food, you don't have to waste money on expensive medical procedures overall.
And if you learn what to do to support and promote your body's built-in God-given ability to fix itself even better.
And this was one of the, you know, I've had a number of Eureka moments in my life, thank God.
And one of them was the startling realization, and this happened after I'd been about 15 years into practice, that for most of the conditions that bother most people most of the time, you know, things like high blood pressure and eczema and asthma and heart disease and arthritis and obesity and whatever, you don't need a private appointment with a holistic physician in order to figure out what to do to get on the other side of it.
You just need to be told what to do.
Because healing is relatively easy.
Surgery is complicated.
I wouldn't recommend that you try to teach yourself how to surgery somebody and buy a bunch of surgical equipment on Google, Amazon, and do that.
But learning what to do to help the body optimize its structure and function is relatively easy.
If you're smart enough to pass the driver's license test, you're smart enough to learn what to do.
And so this is what's necessary, right?
People need to be educated about what to do to make their bodies healthy.
And we could talk about that all day.
But I do want to underline one thing about medical insurance because it outlines perfectly how deep into the rabbit hole everybody is, right?
So here's the deal.
Most people over the course of their life spend a small fortune in medical insurance premiums.
It's upwards of, yes, millions of dollars over the course of their life.
And while they're paying handsomely out of the pocket every month medical insurance, they got sick.
While they were under the care of the people that the medical insurance gave them access to, they got sick.
And then when they go to the medical professionals, the allopathic MDs, they're given medicines that do not intend to cure the condition.
They only intend to manage the problem.
That's right.
So the condition gets kicked down the road.
The can gets kicked down the road.
Another drug and another drug and another drug and another drug.
And then over time, they get sicker and weaker and more dependent on the pharmaceutical and weaker and sicker and more dependent on the pharmaceutical.
And then they go bankrupt because the leading cause of bankruptcy in the U.S. is medical bills and then they die.
And all the time while they were paying in extreme of, they were paying through the nose for access to all of this nonsense.
And while they were under the care of the allopathic physician, they got sick and nobody questioned that.
And everybody just genuflects at that altar and says, please, sir, could I have some more?
It's insane.
It really is.
It's insane.
And I think that this happens only because, well, I know why it happens.
It's because of the medical monopoly.
Because let's be honest, nobody even knows how to pronounce naturopathy, let alone know what we can do.
That's funny.
Yeah, and I have been talking about the dangers of pharmaceutical advertisements, DTC, direct-to-consumer ads, which was legalized in, what, 97 or 98 in the United States, that allowed big pharma to absolutely control the media.
And just heard recently that HHS under now Secretary Kennedy is not going to overturn that.
That's a shame.
It's extraordinary because that is the, like, that's the exhaust port of the Death Star right there.
100% correct.
Drop a torpedo into that, you know, metaphorically speaking, and you could end big pharma's control over media, which we saw during COVID, everything was sponsored by Pfizer.
And every media, every mainstream media organization was pro Pfizer, pro-vaccine, pro-fear, pro-PSYOP, everything to drive more people to buy more vaccines.
And this is a key problem I want you to address if you can.
It's not profitable on a large scale to teach people how to take care of their own health.
It's highly profitable to keep them sick and disease and repeat business of disease management.
So there's always this incentive.
Go ahead.
Yeah, I mean, you're absolutely right.
I mean, we're twin sons of different mothers, I think.
So you know why the pharmaceutical industry does direct-to-consumer advertising?
To control the media narratives.
Because it works.
Yeah.
It sells drugs.
It sells products.
It ingrains in people the false belief that the MD allopathic medical method is the only real, effective, safe, inexpensive medical method.
It's over and over and over.
It's brainwashing and par excellence and it works.
And that's why they did it.
And that's why they continue to do it.
And, you know, it's not going to change.
I mean, I never thought Kennedy was up to speed with that.
And it's a shame that it didn't happen.
But direct-to-consumer advertising is here to stay.
And it upholds, right, the straw house of conventional medicine.
And look, don't get me wrong.
You know, we're talking in extremes here for educational purposes, right?
I have a good friend of mine is an orthopedic surgeon.
He's a very famous orthopedic surgeon.
He's retired now.
He did Kobe Bryant's shoulder.
And, you know, look, man, there's room in the world for every system of medicine.
There is.
But we don't have medical freedom.
We don't.
Most people are not even aware of the distinction allopathic.
They don't know what allopathic means, right?
There's an egregious lack of education here in this regard.
All of it is going towards propping up the conventional medical model.
And, you know, old man Rockefeller said it better than anybody else.
A patient cured is a customer lost.
Well, this is why the concept, you know, I've done podcasts on this.
I know you've talked about a similar thing before, but remember how during Trump's first administration, the Democrats declared certain cities to be sanctuary cities, that is, sanctuaries against deportation of undocumented people.
Why couldn't a city, a county, or a state declare itself to be a health freedom sanctuary to say we no longer abide by the FDA's oversight, and we're going to instead allow health freedom, medical freedom in this county or city or state, but we're also going to have outcomes measured and tracked.
So every person who participates in anything, Chinese medicine, acupuncture, you know, you name it, fills out a survey afterwards and then a survey in six months and so on.
And you would gather this data set of what works.
But of course, that would expose the lie of the current system.
And there you go.
It wouldn't take much to topple the system right now.
I've always said that if by some genie in the bottle magic, we all woke up tomorrow and there was medical freedom and there were just as many experienced naturopathic physicians and homeopathic physicians and Ayurvedic practitioners and acupuncturists and herbalists and nutritionists as MDs,
and insurance paid for everything, and hospitals allowed equal access to all types of doctors, and universities were encouraged to do research on 50% of their research on alternative quote-unquote therapeutics.
If that were actually to happen within five years, the medical doctors who didn't practice surgery or trauma care would be out of a job.
Absolutely.
Because in a free market, people gravitate towards what works.
Okay, so here you go, you know, Joe Smith.
Here's your option.
Okay, you have rheumatoid arthritis.
I'm sorry to hear that.
So you can go to this doctor who has no idea what causes the rheumatoid arthritis, who has no idea what to do to cure the rheumatoid arthritis and is only going to throw expensive pharmaceuticals at it, which will manage the problem, making you weaker over time.
Or you can go to this doctor who knows what the root cause of the rheumatoid arthritis condition is and who's been trained in therapeutics that attempt to cure the condition.
Which would you rather do?
100% of people would go to the curative medical therapeutics, but you're not supposed to.
In the United States today, you're not even supposed to mention the word cure.
But Dr. Glidden, the medical cartels that you're talking about, which is really, it's organized racketeering that's legalized by the government.
That's all it is.
That's all that it is.
This is, and feel free to agree or disagree, whatever, but I'm going to say this is national suicide, that our nation cannot survive this continuing like this, and for a couple of reasons.
Not just healthcare costs, which is really sick care management, which are already approaching 25% of GDP.
They're getting closer.
But the fact that you have cognitive destruction because of the lack of health.
Now, stay with me, one more thing.
You also have now, globally, you have the rise of artificial cognition through AI systems, one of which my company has built and released that's actually focused on naturopathy.
That's interesting.
But you have artificial cognition rising and you have human cognition plummeting because of the medical doctors and the junk food and all the brain-destroying adjuvants that are in the vaccines and so on.
This, it's not hard to tell where this ends.
It ends in the collapse of this society as we know it.
I say that.
Do you think I'm going too far?
Do you have amendments to that?
I think you're 100% correct, and it was done on purpose.
This was not a mistake.
I mean, in 1930, Congress, the United States Department of Agriculture reported to Congress that, hey, everybody, this is a big deal.
The amount of nutritive minerals that are in the soil are getting dramatically low and we need to do something about it.
This was in the 1930s.
Right.
Congress did nothing about it.
So as the amount of minerals in the soil declines, chronic disease escalates because all chronic disease is directly related to nutrient deficiencies.
Let me say it one more time for the listening audience.
All chronic disease is directly, not indirectly, directly related to deficiencies in essential nutrients in the human body, the lion's share of which are minerals.
So less minerals in the food, less minerals in the human body, less nutrients in the human body, less vital force in the human body, less ability of the human body to optimize its structure and function, which equals more disease.
Right.
And then more managerial treatment for the disease, right?
Because the medical doctors aren't trained to cure anything.
They're just trained to kick the can down the road.
And you're absolutely right.
It should be illegal for a medical doctor to advertise or a hospital to advertise that they practice health care because they do not.
They do not practice health care.
They practice disease management.
And there's a gigantic difference between those two.
It was done on purpose, Mike.
And I don't know what the end game is, but it was all done on purpose.
So I'm really glad you mentioned the mineral deficiency worsening over time.
So modern agriculture is really a mining operation that mines the minerals out of the soil, which are long gone in most foods.
They just add back NPK, right?
To make what I call shadow food.
So I say most people, when they go shopping, they're buying shadow food.
And then they go to the pharmacy counter and they get shadow medicine or they go see a shadow doctor.
Like none of this is actually what you and I would consider to be real food, real medicine, real health at all.
But people live in the shadow world and they think it's backed by science.
But we have shadow science, of course, as well, which is, and by shadow, you can think, you know, Plato's cave, right?
People are watching the shadows on the wall.
They think that's reality.
They're not living in the real world at all.
You are 100% correct.
I mean, COVID was a glaring example of that, right?
So there was a research article that was published that really laid the foundation for everything COVID.
And in the research, they said that the SARS coronavirus 2 vaccine has been discovered through Cox postulates.
And Cox postulates is a scientific method by which you prove that a microbial organism is causative for a disease.
There are steps that you have to, a stepwise process that you have to go through to prove that this microbe causes this disease.
And first you have to isolate it.
Well, yeah, that's the first step's postulate.
So that was not done.
It wasn't done.
And yet the published article said that it had been done in the headline.
But when you actually read the 25 pages of the article, they had in fact not proved Cox's postulates.
They'd proved two of them, not all five of them.
And here's what that's like, right?
That's like a naturalist publishing an article in Nature magazine that says, oh my God, we finally proven the existence of Bigfoot.
We've proven it.
Proven the existence of Bigfoot.
Bigfoot is real.
And then you read in the article, and here's how they did it.
They had a sketch artist, a police sketch artist, interview a thousand people who had said that they had seen Bigfoot themselves, right?
And the sketch artist drew a composite.
Oh, what does he look like?
So now they've got a thousand sketch artists' renditions of what Bigfoot looks like, and then they give all of that to AI.
AI generates a composite image of what Sasquatch is, what Bigfoot is, and they say, this is what Bigfoot is, and we've proven that he exists, and that's how we did it.
That's a great metaphor.
I love that.
They did the exact same, well, not the exact same thing, but they did a very similar thing with COVID.
It has never been proven that the SARS-CoV-2 virus exists.
It's never been.
But we've seen a lot of CGI rendered images that look like Pixar animations, actually.
Yeah, right.
Of the virus.
And an unassuming public buys it, hook, line, and sinker.
100%.
100%.
Look, it's so compelling that even I didn't begin to question the tenets of modern virology until COVID.
Yeah, that's right.
Virus Mania is a wonderful book if you haven't read it by Engelbrecht and Torstein, I think, Virus Mania.
No, I haven't.
I haven't read it.
It just picks the whole freaking thing apart, one viral epidemic at a time.
It's a remarkably eye-opening book, Virus Mania.
Well, and it's so interesting, too, because the power of mind-body medicine, what I've come to realize since then, is that when the media announces a big scary virus, you get the negative placebo effect of people's minds making it real.
So people actually develop symptoms that they were told by the TV.
Like some people, you know, lose their sense of smell or whatever.
Your body can make it, I mean, your mind makes it real in your body.
We've seen this with hypnosis experiments, the power of the mind over your tissues.
And then people show up at the hospital with symptoms that they created because they believed in the PSIOP.
You're 100% correct.
I went to two years ago, I did a continuing education, and we have to get 25 hours of continuing education credit every year to maintain the license.
And I went to a really interesting presentation.
And here, the nuts and bolts of the presentation were that it is very difficult for anybody to differentiate the blood work results from somebody who's under stress compared to somebody who's dealing with a bacterial infection.
Huh.
Wow.
It's like if you didn't know what the etiology was, you'd have no idea what it was.
Because the markers look the same.
Cell membrane debris is the same.
It's the same thing.
It's the same.
The result is the same, but it was caused by psychological stress as opposed to a microbe.
I think that there was 5G had a lot to do with COVID also.
But that's a whole nother story.
But look, here's what it all boils down to for the listening audience by way of education.
Your medical doctor may be the nicest person that God ever created, but your medical doctor doesn't practice medicine.
Your medical doctor practices allopathic medicine.
And allopathic medicine is based on a philosophy which is inconsistent with natural law and which is atheistic.
Your medical doctor does not believe that the human body has the ability to fix itself, and it's based on Newtonian reductionistic physics, which argues if it can't be measured, it doesn't exist.
So as far as your medical doctor is concerned, you, your consciousness itself is a function of biochemistry.
There's no such thing as God.
There's no such thing as angels.
There's no such thing as afterlife.
There's no such thing as the key or the vital force or anything esoteric.
It's all a fiction.
And when you die, it's lights out game over.
You are a bag of biochemicals waiting to break.
And when something does break, it is not the MD's job to fix it.
It's the MD's job to manage it.
Period.
Hard stop.
Right.
You're saying that's their viewpoint.
That's their viewpoint.
And that is what informs every single thing that they do.
Yes, yes.
Their system of medicine is based upon the Galenic concept called contraria contraris curintur, which is opposites cure opposites.
So if you've got a fever, you put somebody in an ice bath.
If you've got somebody who's freezing cold, you put them in a warm blanket.
If you have somebody who has pain, you give them a pain medicine, right?
If you have somebody who has a fever, you give them an anti-feebrile.
And that system of medicine, that philosophical belief is not curative.
Well, actually, it's like they inject a child with a vaccine that has pro-inflammatory toxins.
The child begins to have like brain inflammation.
And the nurse says, Hey, give the child acetaminophen, a Tylenol.
The Tylenol then breaks down the blood-brain barrier even more, drives the toxins even more into the brain.
24 hours later, the child's autistic.
You are the smartest man in Texas.
There's very few people that know the relationship between Tylenol and the vaccines.
And it's that nice little cocktail goes together that drives the inflammation in the brain that causes autism.
It's a vaccine lobotomy child sacrifice ritual.
But you don't question the doctor.
You can't question the narrative.
Do not question the doctor because all that that's going to do is you quack is going to kill more children.
And see, this is the narrative.
This is the propaganda.
Yeah, it's extremely.
Everything that they tell you is the opposite of what is actually true.
And honest to God, Mike, I mean, you know, most, I've been doing this for 36 years now, man.
And most people would not believe the things that I and my colleagues have seen people recover from.
Most people have no idea at all of the power of the naturopathic method.
They have no idea about it.
They should be taught this stuff in high school.
Most people suffer needlessly simply because they don't know any better.
And why don't they know any better?
Because the medical monopoly does not want them to know.
It prohibits this information.
It's a tragedy of biblical proportion.
It's rooted.
Our current system is rooted in enforced ignorance and separation from self.
And I'm reminded that the 2017 medic update to Google completely eliminated naturopathic information and pushed everybody over to WebMD.
So let me use this opportunity, by the way, Dr. Glidden, to ask you to mention an event that you have coming up on Wednesday that can help people stay informed.
So tell us all about that.
Oh, it's very kind of you.
Yeah.
So Wednesday, the 9th of July, the full moon, from starting at 6 p.m. Pacific for one hour, 8 p.m.
Central, I'm giving a free worldwide webinar, the title of which is The Cause of the Chronic Health Disease Epidemic, The Cure for the Chronic Health Disease Epidemic, and Simple Steps that Everybody Can Take from the Comfort of Their Own Home to Support and Promote Their Body's built-in, God-given ability to fix itself.
I do this a couple of times a year.
I pull back the curtain for the masses, and I just try to educate people about what's going on here because we desperately need perspective.
We don't have it.
I mean, if you break your, if you have a bullet in your arm, you probably shouldn't come to my office.
You should go to the allopathic physician, right?
There's room in this, there's things that the MDs are good at, and there's things that my profession is exceptionally good at.
That's right.
I'm underlining, outlining these distinctions.
But tell our audience how they can register for that.
You don't have to register for it.
You just need to show up.
I'm not going to collect email addresses or do any marketing or anything like that.
Everybody tells me I should, but I'm just not going to.
Well, do they just go to the website?
Yep.
Just visit my website, leavebigpharmabehind.com.
LeavepharmaBehind.com.
LeaveBigpharmabehind.com.
To my producers, let's show that screen.
LeavebigpharmaBehind.com.
And then will there be just a link right there?
Right there.
Starting tomorrow, there's going to be information right on the homepage about the event.
Okay, great.
Now, that sounds really exciting.
I would love to tune into that myself.
Let me plug something that I think that you will also find highly, highly relevant that we just launched.
If people go to Brytown.ai, we have launched our Enoch AI engine, which is the most extensively trained AI engine in the world on phytonutrients, phytochemistry, alternative medicine, natural medicine.
It is literally the largest AI engine in the world and it's free, free to use.
There's a rate limit currently, 50 prompts a day, but we're going to increase that next week.
And we just launched it.
And this is, Dr. Glinton, this is the only AI engine in the world that is currently 87% aligned with naturopathy.
And like, that's an actual test result.
We've got 87% alignment, whereas ChatGPT is like 12% aligned.
Yeah, that's wonderful, Mike.
I mean, that's a giant step forward.
It's an incredible research tool.
You can use it for any nutrient, any mineral, any disease.
It knows about DMSO plus hematoxylin for treating topical cervical cancer, or I mean, topically treating cervical cancer.
It knows things that have been lost in the history of medicine back in the engine.
So cool stuff.
I mean, it's a fascinating time.
Like never before in human history have people had access to the truth more than they do now.
Talk about your book.
I'm showing your book right now here, too.
Well, thank God for the internet.
I mean, yeah, so this is, this is, this book contains in detail what I'm going to be speaking about tangentially on Wednesday.
It breaks it down for people.
This is the cause of the chronic disease epidemic.
There's a reason that we have a chronic disease epidemic.
That's not because of chemtrails, right?
Which are very real, by the way, but that's not because of that.
There is a reason, and there is a simple solution for the chronic disease epidemic, which makes sense once somebody explains it to you and outlines it to you.
And then the third part of the book, it's a trilogy.
The third part of the book, I talk about 108, I think, illnesses, common illnesses, and I give you the clinically verified naturopathic treatment strategies for that.
Oh, okay.
It's like self-help health recovery because there's a giant bottleneck, man, in the world.
And even in naturopathic medicine, there's been a, I don't know if you're aware of this, but at the turn of the century, more or less, that naturopathic medical schools, of which there are currently only three fully accredited by the United States Department of Education naturopathic medical schools in the country, they started diluting the education of the clinical education of naturopathic therapeutics.
And now, naturopathic medicine is not being taught in the naturopathic medical schools.
It's this weird hybridized green allopathic.
Yeah, green allopathy.
That's it.
B.S. Exactly.
And because of this disparity, right, I had a colleague years ago.
He died two years ago.
He was the first president of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians.
His name was Jim Sensenagen.
He was a real naturopathic doctor.
And he had a robust clinic in Connecticut.
And right around the turn of the centuries, graduates from the colleges of naturopathic medicine started showing up at his office.
And he said, Dr. Sensenig, we just graduated.
We've got our license, but we have no idea how to use naturopathic treatments because we weren't taught them in school.
Right.
So he created a 501c3, which is platinum-rated now, continuing education organization called the Naturopathic Medicine Institute.
Wow.
And the intention of the Naturopathic Medicine Institute is to provide continuing education in real naturopathic therapeutics to naturopathic graduates because they weren't taught at school.
And it's a crying shame.
And most of the current licensed naturopathic doctors in the world do not, in fact, practice naturopathic medicine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's really critical.
And let me just, for our audience, I mean, our audience is very well educated and very sophisticated.
But just for anybody who doesn't understand, green allopathy means simply treating symptoms, but using molecules from plants and herbs instead of pharmaceuticals.
But it's still symptomatic management, and it doesn't address the holistic underlying causes of disease or the pathway to achieve lasting health, which is more than just physiology, right?
You're 100% correct, because allopathic medicine teaches its doctors that the doctor is smarter than the body and that the medicines are prescribed with an oppositionally defiant manner, right?
So you give it an antibiotic, an anti-inflammatory, an antidepressant, an MAO uptake inhibitor, a proton pump inhibitor, et cetera, right?
It's oppositionally defiant.
SSRIs, right?
The intention of which is to push, force the metabolism of the body in a way that the doctor thinks is correct and damn the torpedoes in full speed ahead.
It does not support and promote the body's ability to fix itself, which is what naturopathic treatments do.
And this is a very interesting distinction because your medical doctor, by virtue of their training in allopathic medicine, is atheistic, right?
They might be a religious person.
They might be a spiritual person in their professional, in their personal life, but when they go to work, they're atheistic because they do not believe that the human body can fix itself.
That's right.
And this is the fundamental foundation of naturopathic and all holistic systems of medicine.
The human body is inhabited by an intelligent spiritual force.
I don't care what you want to call it.
Different spiritual disciplines call it different things.
The human body is intelligent.
It knows how to fix itself.
It wants to fix itself.
It's trying to fix itself all the freaking time.
Therefore, it becomes the naturopathic physician's sacred, I would argue, obligation to develop and deliver therapeutics that support and promote the body's ability to fix itself.
And that's what we do.
Yes, yes.
And we, look, that sounds simple and, well, I wish my medical doctor did that, but they don't, folks.
80% of the world's population relies on some form of naturopathic medicine or local botanical medicine.
And I've seen studies where even primates in jungles seek out plants with specific properties to treat their own medical conditions, which means apes are smarter than doctors.
Well, God made pharmaceuticals.
God made herbs and man-made pharmaceuticals.
Who do you trust?
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
But this, I mean, Dr. Glenn, how is it that we never met before today?
I don't know, man.
I don't understand that.
I think my head's been down.
You know, I'm kind of like a Lone Ranger, Mike.
I've been, I'm the only one in my profession that's been standing up on the, in the public platform and yelling about this stuff forever.
And it's taken a great amount of time and energy and resources while maintaining a private practice at the same time, right?
Half of my career was spent practicing in Massachusetts where I grew up.
They didn't license and regulate naturopathic medicine.
So, you know, you're always under the radar and kind of looking behind you.
And so it's been a struggle, man.
And it's only recently that I have kind of reached a point in my professional career where I'm solid and I'm good.
And, you know, I know a lot now after 36 years of doing this.
So I feel.
Where is your practice?
I feel very confident in being able to articulate these things now.
It's virtual.
I had a brick and mortar practice forever.
Well, I had a brick and mortar practice in Massachusetts.
I had a brick and mortar practice in Seattle.
I had a brick and mortar practice in Illinois.
And then Illinois ordered me to cease and desist because Illinois doesn't license or regulate naturopathic medicine.
I lost a ton of money when Illinois pulled the rug out from underneath me.
And then I had to pivot.
And that's when I started doing everything virtual.
Okay.
So now I only consult with people virtually.
I only consult with people who already know what their diagnosis is.
And, you know, conventional medicine has failed them.
Right.
And so they show up in my office.
They send me their blood work.
They send me, you know, all the objective diagnostic discovery, and then we embark upon a health recovery campaign.
And that takes up 50% of my time.
The other 50% of my time is with public education.
I think you have a very bright future in that model, as opposed to algorithmic, allopathic doctors who will very quickly be replaced by AI because they don't do anything that machines can't do.
Whereas what you are doing is looking at the whole person.
Man, I think you have a crystal ball in there somewhere because I said exactly the same thing 10 years ago.
I said, look, here's the future of medicine, folks.
Here's what's going to happen.
You're going to be sick with something.
You're going to go to the medical center.
You're going to gain entrance into the medical center with your insurance card.
It's going to let you in the door.
Then they're going to put you on a treadmill.
The treadmill, they're going to take a urine sample.
They're going to take a stool sample.
They're going to take a blood sample.
They're going to weigh you.
They're going to put you through a CT scan.
And the computers behind the scenes are going to analyze all of this information.
And then at the end of the treadmill, you're going to stick your insurance card in a pharmaceutical vending machine.
And it's going to spit out your drugs with a structure.
That's right.
You nailed it.
That's exactly where this is going.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
And it is the epitome of the mechanistic reductionistic model.
It is.
And see, this is the thing that conventional doctors don't realize they are already obsolete in this whole system.
You're absolutely 100% correct.
And I don't know what they're going to do.
I honestly don't know what they're going to do because they're going to be job deals.
They're going to be job deals.
Well, thank God.
But here's an important distinction, I think, for the listening audience, because, right, it's all about perspective, right?
Medical doctors are trained to diagnose disease.
Naturopathic doctors are trained to diagnose a treatment.
You cannot treat a disease.
It does not exist.
But that's what the medical doctors are trained to do, and that's why they fail.
Because you can't, I mean, you could bring me 10 pounds of Granny Smith apples if I asked you to.
You could bring me 100 number two pencils if I asked you to.
But can you bring me 50 pounds of depression?
How about eczema?
Can you bring me a bushel of eczema?
How about, you know, 13 units of asthma?
Can you do that?
You can't do that.
But we have become culturally conditioned to believe that the disease is like a parrot that sits on the shoulder, and it's the doctor's job to figure out a bullet that's going to kill that parrot.
And then everybody else who has the same parrot is going to get the same bullet.
And that is not how it works.
I'm so glad that you went there with this because I've also long talked about the sorcery of the language of disease.
Yeah.
And for example, let's take the word diabetes.
They use possessive language.
You have diabetes.
What?
Have diabetes.
And well, is it a thing?
Does it now control me?
And what I used to teach years ago in my podcast was to say to somebody, if you've been, quote, diagnosed with diabetes, the correct self-language is to say that for a reason we'll talk about, my body's physiology is currently expressing a pattern of symptoms that doctors have labeled diabetes, but that expression can be altered by my decisions.
100% correct.
See, so we have to break the sorcery of the language of medicine.
Well, words are the knife of the carver, right?
Words create reality.
Words are very important.
And we haven't, most people are completely unaware of these distinctions.
Right.
Why?
Because of 113 years now of a medical monopoly.
That's right.
Which has affected every aspect of education, every aspect of media, every aspect of entertainment, every aspect of life.
And it's really bad, man.
As bad as most people start to think that it is because of COVID, it's a thousand times worse.
You're not kidding.
I've known people who would start to have mysterious symptoms, and they would be very, very nervous about those symptoms, and they would go see doctors.
And then as soon as the doctor named it, oh, I have this and this and this, then they have a sense of relief.
Now we know what it is because it's been named.
I'm like, you don't know anything more than you did when you, I mean, you knew what your experience was.
Now it's been given a name.
You feel better.
What?
Because you can take a drug?
You know, there's also, there's a question of patient responsibility in this.
People have surrendered their souls to the medical monopoly.
They need to take that back.
You know, Voltaire said, right, medical doctors are people who treat diseases of which they know little with drugs of which they know less and human beings of which they know nothing.
Wow.
Powerful quote.
Absolutely.
So let me break it down again for the listening audience.
This is a very important distinction for you to understand here.
I mean, it would be prudent, do you not think?
This will give you a little preview of what I'm going to be talking about on Wednesday, that if you're a doctor of any discipline, it would be prudent for you to have a working definition of health.
Because if you don't know what health is, how can you help somebody to secure it?
And if you'd like to have fun with the medical doctor the next time you're unlucky enough to be in their presence, ask them to define health and watch their head spin off their shoulders because they won't be able to do it because they're not taught it.
So here's the working definition of health, which is correct and true.
Health is the ability of a living organism to experience negative stress and remain symptom free in a state of dynamic equilibrium.
So here's how that goes.
Life is a great big bowl of stress, right?
There's microbial stress.
There's aging.
There's weather, crap in the air, crap in the food, crap in the water, emotional stress, financial stress, political stress, weather, aging, right?
It's a stress all the time, man.
And when stress impacts, you can't get away from it.
When stress impacts the body, there's only two possible outcomes: the force fields are up, the stress bounces off the body because it has defended it and it can't get in.
And you're symptom-free, you're good.
Or the stress is too much for your body to handle because you see the stress is really strong or you're really weak or a combination of both.
The stress gets through the defenses, impacts the system, and destabilizes it.
When your system becomes destabilized, it compensates and generates a symptom.
The symptom can be anything.
It can be eczema.
It can be a tumor.
It can be high blood pressure.
It can be anxiety and panic.
It can be anything.
It's a symptom.
So here's what the medical doctors are trained to do.
We're stressed.
We're destabilized.
We're symptomatic.
And, you know, a lot of the times when this happens, the body fixes itself.
I mean, you drop a rock on your foot and you're symptomatic.
You've got swelling, you've got redness, you've got inflammatory, you've got pain, right?
It hurts.
And it's a symptom.
But then the body fixes it and 10 days later, the body has recovered its balance and the symptom is gone.
The body tries to fix itself all the time, but often the body gets stressed, destabilized, symptomatic, and stuck.
And this is why people go to the doctor.
So you go to a medical doctor and they're trained to deliver drugs or surgery which suppress the symptom.
If you get an antibiotic, an anti-inflammatory, an antidepressant, you get something.
It doesn't attempt to cure the condition.
It simply suppresses the symptom.
And so then what happens?
Well, remember, the symptom, even though it was uncomfortable, was a compensating thing that the body did.
When you remove the compensation, the body must fall further off balance and generate another symptom, which the medical doctor suppresses with another drug.
And then you go from the frying pan into the fire, into bankruptcy, into death.
And this is the best system of medicine that money can buy.
It's the repeat business model, too, for pharma and hospitals that see human beings as not human beings, but as vessels for profiteering.
Now, every system of holistic medicine in the world trains its practitioners to develop therapeutics that push the system back into a state of balance.
The chiropractors do it one way, the nutritionists do it one way, the Ayurveds do it one way, the homeopaths do it one way, right?
The goal is the same, to push the system back into a state of balance because that's its natural state.
But medical doctors have no idea what the hell I'm talking about.
They have no idea of any of this.
And as God is my witness, the only reason they are still in business is because they legislated themselves there.
And they have maintained their position at the top with law and the unbelievable political power of the pharmaceutical industry.
That's 100% true.
And even though we're about to wrap this up, I want to mention one other point.
During COVID, we began to see articles attacking the very concept of an immune system.
That's right.
And they would say things like, it's a conspiracy to believe that a human body has an immune system.
How could you have an immune system?
It must be acquired through injections.
The doctors give you your immunity.
I mean, this became, I know, and I would ask simple questions like, well, how did all of our ancestors ever survive?
You know, how are we, how does the human species even exist?
What about all the non-human animals all over the earth that don't have a doctor?
How do they survive?
You know?
But you couldn't even ask common sense questions without being derided as an anti-science person.
It was incredible.
I know Amazon canceled one of my books right in the middle of COVID.
I was deplatformed.
Everybody, you know, there was a there was a, I went to Bastier University of Naturopathic Medicine, named after Dr. John Bastier, who was a pioneer of naturopathy in the early 1900s.
And I was lucky enough to have a couple of classes with him right before he passed on.
He was still teaching when he was in his 90s.
And Bastier looked at us in class one day and he said, you know, smugly, he said, well, back in my day, you weren't considered a real naturopathic doctor unless you'd spent time in jail.
Is that right?
Well, that's the way that it is, right?
Because inside of a self-policing, self-regulating medical monopoly, you can do and say whatever you want, especially when it's not true.
And so active suppression of alternative quote unquote ideas is the standard of care now.
And it's a crying freaking shame.
It's extraordinary.
And it is an existential catastrophe for Western civilization.
And that's why what you do is so important, Mike.
Because people need to understand this.
People need to...
Because look, man, you know, the truth has a ring to it.
And when people hear the truth, it's like, oh, really?
Yeah, that makes sense to me.
And then they take the next step and then they take the next step and then they take the next step.
And that's how we get it done.
So don't ever stop doing what you're doing.
And like, you know, like that saying from Yale University, illegitimate, non-est carborundum, right?
Don't, don't let the bastards grind you down, man.
Just keep on doing what you're doing and don't ever stop.
Well, right back at you there, and we are, both of us, doing our best to make a positive impact for humanity.
Let me mention your website again, leavebigpharma Behind.com, correct?
It's got a good ring to it, huh?
I like it.
And also, I see you've got some of the sacred geometry here on your business card as well.
Remind us again, Wednesday, July 9th.
What time is your event?
6 p.m.
Pacific?
Okay.
6 p.m. Pacific at leavebigpharma behind.com.
I'm going to peel back the curtains and bring everybody up to speed with what to do to make themselves healthy from the comfort of their own home.
This based on 36 years of clinical experience as a licensed naturopathic physician.
So buckle up.
We're in it to win it.
I love that.
Okay.
Well, look, thank you so much.
And I immediately want to invite you back for another conversation because we barely scratched the surface.
Yeah, we scratched the surface.
Anytime, Mr. Adams, I'm yours.
Let's go.
I'm ready.
I'm happy to stand up on anybody's platform and speak the truth.
So just be in touch.
I'm happy to help and to continue to move this conversation forward because it's desperately needed.
Absolutely.
And those who listen to you will thank you, but they will also thank themselves for trusting in nature and their God-given natural healing miracles.
You know, spontaneous healing within your body is something that you were born with.
And what all you're doing, Dr. Glidden, as you know, like you don't claim credit for like, I healed you.
No, you showed them how to heal themselves.
Yeah, that's right.
It's impossible to heal somebody.
You can't do it.
Well, with laying on of hands, I think that there's that's where that's where that distinction ends.
But all we do is show people what to do to support and promote their body's built-in God-given ability to fix itself.
There you go.
And even laying on hands actually invokes the inner healing capability of the patient as well.
Right.
I mean, a lot of it's activation through needles or through homeopathy.
I mean, think about homeopathy.
It's signaling.
It's signaling.
We could talk for a whole hour about homeopathy.
That's my specialty.
And there's so much misinformation about homeopathy.
Well, how about this?
The next time we'll have you on.
We'll start with homeopathy.
And I've got some, well, actually, hey, to my crew, can you show Dr. Glidden my microscope screen right now?
Because I have a lab microscope here on my desk.
And right now, I've just taken this large, this image of xylitol crystals frozen at room temperature.
But we can do all kinds of interesting things with this.
We're reproducing some of Dr. Emoto's experiments.
But let me show you something here.
This is real time.
It's swapping the lens.
Hold on a second.
But here we go.
So we have a really great digital microscope and we can cruise around and we can zoom in and we can actually look at how nature created things like these colors in a sweetener.
It's crazy, right?
Yeah.
And there's all kinds of extraordinary things that we can do with this technology.
But anyway, you and I will have a lot to talk about in future interviews.
So thank you for your time today.
I appreciate you.
Right back at you, man.
Don't ever stop doing what you're doing.
And God willing in the creek don't rise.
I'll see you next time.
All right.
Take care now.
All right.
Thank all of you for watching here.
Hope you enjoyed that conversation with Dr. Glidden.
What an extraordinary individual.
Be sure to check out his website, leavebigpharmabehind.com.
And if you're catching this in time, take advantage of his free event on Wednesday, July 9th, which should be really fascinating.
So thank you for all your time today.
I hope you learned a lot from this and gained some inspiration.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.com.
Also, be sure to check out our free AI engine now.
It's live.
It's running at briteon.ai.
It's called Enoch, and you can ask it anything you want about health, nutrition, minerals, chronic degenerative disease prevention methods, anything you want.

Like free as in, it's actually free, and there's no advertising.
It's completely non-commercial.
So check that out.
And thank you for watching today.
Take care.
Thank you for supporting us at healthrangerstore.com.
And we've got a new batch of turmeric in stock now.
After a long search, the supply chains are really becoming more difficult.
And turmeric, as you know, is often contaminated with lead.

We found an ultra-clean batch and we have it available for you now.
I have it on my desk.
We've got turmeric root powder, certified organic laboratory tested, identity confirmed, all that.
E. coli tested, microbiology, you name it.
We've got it all for you at healthrangerstore.com.
We do not have turmeric tincture back in stock.
We're working on that, but we do have the turmeric root powder.
And as you know, I, of course, I include turmeric root powder in my own smoothie, which is why it's orange.
It's why my dental work turns orange, which freaks out the dental hygienist as well.
But that's another story.
Okay, so if you want really good, high-quality, ultra-clean turmeric root powder, we've got it now, healthrangerstore.com.
We also have, yeah, there's the screen showing it to you.

Athletes use it.
Lots of people use it.
This is also what turns the flesh of salmon slightly pink.
That's actually the acaxanthin that they're getting from their dietary sources.
And it's believed to help support the natural athleticism and the endurance and stamina of salmon.
That's just one of the many benefits of the king of carotenoids.
Now, acaxanthin is in a dark bottle because it's sensitive to light, but it's very potent.
You only need either two or four milligrams per day.
