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: “Many people struggle with setting personal emotional or opinion and perspective boundaries. They fear rejection, worry about appearing selfish, or grew up in environments where boundaries weren’t modeled. It’s common to feel guilty initially when enforcing new limits, even though boundaries are fundamentally about self-respect. Is one aspect of Divine Principle for living #7 (…meet your responsibility to be your soul’s guardian, and take care of its safety and protection from harm) to be bold in holding the line, even when it feels uncomfortable, without being blunt, cold, or confrontational? Is this about practicing self-love through behavior, not over-accommodating or over-sacrificing?”

A viewer asks: “The Lancet medical journal, renowned for publishing cutting-edge, peer-reviewed research, published an article in February 2026 “Assessment of adverse effects attributed to statin therapy …” citing “Widespread confusion about statin safety”. The researchers used data from 19 large, double-blind, randomized controlled trials. The paper concludes that while statins can cause a few side effects, such as slight liver issues, changes in urine, and swelling, these are rare and not very serious. They claim other side effects people worry about were not linked to statins at all. I seem to recall Creator saying the use of statins should be discontinued, however. Has this research been manipulated?”

The CDC reported on Thursday, that the U.S. life expectancy increased in 2024 to a record high of 79 years. The top 10 leading causes of death in the U.S. all declined by varying small degrees. Heart disease deaths, the top killer, were down by 3%. Deaths from unintentional injuries declined 14.4% from the previous year. This seems surprising given the fact serious chronic illnesses have been steadily increasing in case numbers for years. Were these statistics manipulated to make the healthcare system look good?

A viewer asks: “Married couples often think, “If we just love each other more everything will work out.” Humanity, though, identifies specific sources of difficulties and solutions. Psychological approaches focus on personality traits, attachment styles, and emotional patterns. Sociological approaches focus on social structures, norms, and inequalities. Therapeutic approaches focus on communication, conflict resolution, and repair. Behavioral approaches focus on marriage as a set of changeable behaviors. Given the high levels of ignorance of the karmic causes of relationship troubles, and the weaknesses and variable effectiveness of the main approaches, how can “be more loving,” even the divine principles version, be enough?” What is Creator’s perspective?

A viewer asks: “I’m sure protection prayers will and have helped, but can a house with high radon readings be “cleared” and have the divine realm remove or divert the flow to somewhere of no consequence?” What can we tell him?

A viewer asks: “Creator has frequently stressed the necessity of adding specificity to prayer requests, but how far is the optimal level? Take coronary heart disease. Is it optimal to specify the biochemistry that needs addressing to mitigate risk, for example: “Minimize arterial plaque creation, excess blood sugar, inflammation and oxidative stress, slow fat buildup and foam cell formation in the artery wall, maintain healthy blood pressure, smooth blood flow, and flexible arteries to reduce stress on plaques, prevent rupture or clot formation, and reduce mechanical stress on plaques to prevent cracks and avoid blood clots?” Does it help to be this specific for other health conditions?”

A viewer writes: “I was coming down the front steps from my apartment on a Sunday morning sometime in March, forgetting that the night before we’d had a freezing rain warning. I breezed down like everything was normal, but in fact there was a thin layer of ice on at least one of the spots just before I reached the bottom and suddenly my legs flew out from under me. I seemed to elevate and then come straight down, striking the corner of one of the steps with what I thought was my entire body weight, on my left back around the pelvis, above the top of the glutes around the left kidney. As I recall, I immediately prayed for the healing help of Creator and painfully rolled onto all fours, with nobody around (the street was actually closed for a foot race but again no one around) and wondering if I was dying. The impact was so brutal I wondered about internal bleeding, but although I was stunned from everything, I slowly realized that I was possibly just bruised and winded and lifted myself up and managed to mount the stairs to the main floor and then to my second-floor apartment. I was still not sure that I was not in dire trouble but I didn’t feel faint so I didn’t call for help (I live alone except for my dogs and the tenants in my building) and played it minute by minute. I iced the injured area and rested all day, and the next day went to see my chiropractor. He said three vertebrae were displaced and he put them back. He also speculated that perhaps I had a bruised kidney and suggested x-rays. I arranged for that over the coming days but everything was fine. Considering the force of the impact I really feel that I had a divine save on this one. Might be interesting to check on it with Creator. Were angels somehow involved in helping me that day? I realized during the evening of the day this happened I must have tried to break the fall with my left hand and had a sore wrist. I think that’s the only ongoing issue now and it’s very minimal. Thank God for all the help!” Was there divine help involved? What can Creator tell us?

Another terror attack was just reported: “At least 15 individuals have been killed and dozens injured following a shooting incident at a Hanukkah celebration in Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia on Sunday evening. Authorities have classified the event as a terror attack, with reports indicating that the two gunmen specifically targeted attendees celebrating the Jewish holiday. Witnesses described a chaotic scene as the gunmen ushered non-celebrants aside before opening fire. Emergency services reported at least 29 injuries, and one of the attackers was shot while the other was apprehended. Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon confirmed the discovery of several improvised explosive devices in a nearby vehicle, prompting the involvement of bomb disposal units. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the attack, emphasizing its targeting of Jewish Australians and asserting that it represents an attack on all Australians. He convened a meeting with national security officials to address the incident. U.S. reactions included a statement from President Donald Trump, who reassured Hanukkah celebrants of their safety, and a condemnation from U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who highlighted the need to combat antisemitism. Videos from the scene captured the panic among beachgoers and the heroic actions of a bystander who intervened to disarm one of the gunmen. This act of bravery was praised by New South Wales Premier Chris Minns, who described the individual as a hero. The shooting occurred against a backdrop of rising antisemitic incidents in Australia, particularly following the onset of the Israel-Gaza conflict in October 2023. The Executive Council of Australian Jewry reported a significant increase in antisemitic attacks, raising alarms within both the Jewish community and broader Australian society.” It was subsequently reported that the shooters were father and son. What were the causes of this event? What is most important for us to know?
