Blowing the lid on resilience and PubMed

There’s been much talk of late of elephants in rooms. I’m not sure if this has been. predicated by lockdown when people have spent too much time in rooms and they’re thinking about things they were normally too busy to contemplate. Or they’ve spent too much time indoors and they’re going stir crazy. But I think it’s got a lot more to do with the peculiar, shifted state of the world, ever since the World Health Organization, governments and researches reacted in the way they did when SARS-CoV-2 arrived on the scene early in the year.

Such is our love of elephants, we’re going to hit you up with another two this week. These are big stories – ones my team and I are proud of breaking, as it happens. In the first, we show, by way of an infographic, how the events that have led to our technological advancement as a species set us on a crash course so that when we met a relatively innocuous virus, the world was thrown into a multi-faceted, global crisis. The reason: our declining resilience, the result of progressively lowered adaptation to our contemporary world. Unless individuals, communities and governments switch their focus towards building resilience – you don’t want to contemplate what might happen should we be unfortunate enough to meet with a more virulent and contagious virus. Fauci, Gates and others tell us we should expect this.

In our second piece we show, with support from two in-house studies, that PubMed – one of the most widely used databases in the biomedical sciences – is next to useless if searching the kinds of areas that are central to our mission. That includes topics ranging from diet/heart disease relationships, to studies on natural medicines including vitamins and herbal medicines, GMOs, and even Covid. You’ll also discover how search engines are funnelling people into PubMed and we suggest that the removal of a drop-down menu will discourage researchers from checking other databases like PubMed Central (PMC) that often reveals many more relevant articles from the peer reviewed literature. We suggest this might be deliberate sleight of hand, and we can’t discount the role of the Gates Foundation in making this happen.

Please share our stories widely – as the censorship via internet and social media platforms continues. Finally, if you think you have skills that could help us in our mission and you might consider doing some voluntary work with us, please get in touch. We’ve been operating beyond full stretch for the last few months and we need help so that we can further increase the impact of our work. Thank you.

Yours, in resilient health, naturally
