Buried Headlines – News Stories You Have To Dig For

YouTube has fallen to the World Health Organization’s commands to ban anything they don’t approve of regarding medical information.

Pretty much if you want an explanation of almost anything from home repair to fixing a dent in your car, one of the first places most people go is YouTube. Granted, if you use Google as your search engine (I mean who doesn’t?) your search will inevitably direct you to YouTube if there is a video available since Google owns YouTube.

With more and more people seeking alternative medicines for everything from COVID to cancer, multiple channels have popped up on YouTube, as well as other social media outlets, that have a fix for whatever ails you. Many sites are by Medical Doctors, nutritionists or other healthcare providers that embrace either a holistic approach to medicine or a balance of holistic and traditional medicine. You would think practicing doctors that give advice on alternatives to certain medications, which can have pretty hefty side effects, would be a reputable source of information, right? Possibly so but the World Health Organization (WHO) apparently doesn’t think so.

Today YouTube updated their “misinformation” policy that states that unless the video meets the requirements of local health or WHO guidelines, it is not allowed. That means most holistic medicines, herbs, therapies, diets (such as KETO) are now effectively against the Terms of Service.

One thing that stands out is all the references to COVID, even though some of the items listed such as “claims that vaccines do not reduce the risk of contracting illness” have been proven, at least in regards to COVID-19. I’m sure somewhere in there, as these are just excerpts from the terms of service, is something about saying that masks don’t work against COVID, which they don’t. Article relating to a review about the ineffectiveness of masks in public is here.

Many of the items listed are part of “home remedies” and while I would not use kerosene on a wound, I do know many “old timers” that swear by it. Back in the day, you poured kerosene on the wound and went back to work. Should we necessarily advocate for this therapy in today’s times? Probably not, but why ban a video that details home remedies from before modern medical treatment was available?

Another issue is that if WHO doesn’t like essential oils, herbs and other natural remedies, YouTube doesn’t allow those anymore. Many of these products have helped countless people with things such as nausea from cancer treatments to infection control. Here is an example where a student compares oregano oil versus amoxicillin to kill bacteria. Granted, see your doctor if you have an infection but this is still good knowledge and might help with small topical type infections such as from a torn cuticle or paper cut that has started turning red.

How many of you have used a specific diet to try to lose weight? Perhaps the South Beach Diet or a KETO diet? Now, a doctor can’t even suggest what foods you might want to use on these types of diets, unless WHO approves it. Dr. Berg explains his situation with the new requirements in this video.

Everyone should be concerned when anyone allows WHO to basically censor information that is available. Remember when we were taught to research information to see if it was viable? There are so many more research methods and materials today but our public schools have not instilled the same education that many of the older generations had. Today they want to click and watch a video and move on. Now they will have less alternate ideas to ponder.

The fact the YouTube issue comes just days after the FDA declares most over the counter (OTC) cold medicines don’t work and causing them to be pulled from the shelves should make you wonder. In the grand scheme of things, who benefits from all the restrictions regarding alternative or natural treatments? Who benefits from OTC cold medications being removed right before cold and flu season? Big Pharma. The same ones that lied through their teeth about the COVID vaccine, as has been proven. The same ones that get extensions on their patents, barring generics from being produced which save the consumers money. You get the picture. In the end, they don’t care if you drink battery acid, as long as they are the ones that can sell it to you for a tidy profit.
