A viewer asks: “High blood pressure is conventionally regarded as a health risk and that lowering it reduces risk, especially in moderate-to-severe systolic BP of 140-159 mmHg. Dr. Malcolm Kendrick author of Doctoring Data claims that cardiovascular risk increases more steeply after systolic BP reaches around 160-170 mmHg—well beyond the 140/90 threshold often used to diagnose and treat hypertension. A rule of thumb in medicine is that for older individuals, a systolic BP of around 100 + age is a reasonable upper limit beyond which cardiovascular risks increase significantly. Is hypertension over-treated, given that aggressively lowering blood pressure—especially in older individuals—can be harmful?”

A viewer asks: “A 2018 book, Medical Nihilism, by Jacob Stegenga claims the healthcare system over-adopts treatments and under-recognizes risks. He states confidence in the effectiveness of medical interventions should be low because empirical evidence for the efficacy of many treatments is weak due to methodological flaws, publication bias, the influence of commercial interests. He claims positive studies are more likely to be published, screening programs tend to detect and treat cancers that would never cause harm, common treatments can cause long-term complications, short trial durations miss long-term harms etc. How accurate is his view that evidence is systematically skewed and harms are undercounted?”

A viewer asks: “Dr. Bernard Lown, a Harvard cardiologist in the 1980s, criticized the rapid rise of surgical Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts (CABG), noting 20–40% were potentially avoidable, especially in stable angina, and many patients had uncertain survival benefit. He advocated medical therapy—nitrates, beta-blockers, lifestyle changes—for symptom control. How accurate is it to say that in 2026, evidence-based guidelines and trials have reduced avoidable CABG to <10% for high-risk, guideline-selected patients, and that for low-risk, stable patients, surgery rarely improves survival, and that beta-blockers, nitrates, ACE inhibitors, lifestyle changes are to be preferred?”

A viewer asks: “A 2012 paper in the British Medical Journal “Use of relative and absolute effect measures in reporting health inequalities” concluded that “75% (258/344) [of 2009 papers] reported only relative effect measures.” Absolute risk reduction is often far less impressive and less often stated. This suggests that physicians will overestimate the efficacy of treatments and patients may have a misplaced belief in both effectiveness and risks. To what extent does this practice mislead patients and clinicians and benefit pharmaceutical manufacturers?”

A viewer asks: “Dr. Malcolm Kendrick in his book, Doctoring Data, suggests more patients are harmed by over-treatment than helped. He claims published treatment benefits are often exaggerated by hiding behind relative risk (to mask how tiny most benefits are), selective reporting (such as statistical significance without meaningful benefit), or clever framing (such as natural variation in cholesterol or blood pressure) is medicalized as a treatable condition. To what extent is published medical research actually the fabricated appearance of scientific rigor to sell a product?”

A viewer asks: “What is the origin of the name “Get Wisdom?” [I joined a Bible study group and]… they start with the Book of Genesis and include a reading from the Book of Proverbs every day so far. Here’s one that caught my ear! Proverbs 4:7 – “The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost you all that you have, get understanding.” Brian Kelly has weighed in about this, as he envisioned using the domain name “GetWisdom” for decades prior to our partnership. Is there more to the story?” What is Creator’s perspective?

A viewer asks: “Recently in eastern Canada there was a most disturbing death of a young worker in a large well-known grocery store. She had somehow gotten inside of a large walk-in oven and the oven was turned on. This has bothered me since I heard of this and feel compelled to ask if this event is the work of ETs, and if so, will it be used for their Disclosure plans to cause fear? Can we expect more of such disturbing events?” What can Creator tell us?

A viewer asks: “What’s the significance of what a prominent psychic reports about the divine sign given where lightning struck the right hand of the statue of Peter in Sao Paulo, Argentina, as well as removing his halo, on the Pope’s birthday last year, December 23rd, 2023? It seems pretty obvious that the right hand is the hand of blessing and the halo represents holiness, but I think it would be great to hear from Creator about it!” What can we tell him?

A viewer asks: “As I understand what will happen with the ET Disclosure, humans will be encouraged to ask the ETs for help to get rid of the alien Greys. Will God stop humans from appointing ETs for alien Grey cleanup? Or will God allow that to happen and then what excuse will be given for the ETs to go on vacation?” What can Creator tell us?

A viewer asks: “Although the issue of Extraterrestrial Disclosure has been raised many times, the form it might take has not. Would it be helpful for us to know the form it might take? The comedy version is of UFOs landing on The White House lawn, but what is a likely scenario and in what ways might we prepare for the event and its consequences?” What can Creator tell us?

A viewer asks: “Because it sounds like Disclosure will be happening before the extraterrestrials leave us alone to go on a break, should we be preparing our loved ones in any way for the Disclosure before it happens? Or are we better off just letting it unfold and explaining what is happening at the time? What does Creator have to say about this?”
