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: “I’d like to check in on my thyroid issue. Via you, Creator told me it was viral in origin. I did the three-week ivermectin and hydrochloroquine treatment, as advised. As well as taking supplements of the Antiviral Regimen. I would like to know if I’m virus-free. My thyroid is no longer swollen and I feel much better overall.” What can we tell her?

She asks: “Could you check with Creator if my thyroid is healthy again? Or do I need to take another three-week treatment of ivermectin and hydrochloroquine?” What can we tell her?

She asks: “Also, my mom, as well as my husband (who has Diabetes), did the three-week treatment of ivermectin and hydrochloroquine. We all did it last year in October. Do they benefit from taking a new treatment again?” What can we tell her?

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: “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 about progress with her long-term struggle with lymphedema: “I wanted to check in and let you know that I have finished the ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine 3 week regimen as suggested by Creator and I am taking the first 6 supplements of the antiviral program. I am absolutely amazed at how much this is helping the swelling in my legs! My arduous therapies are having a far better and lasting impact! I noticed this within days of taking the pharmaceutical meds! After years and years of not seeing any real progress, I am thrilled. I have a few questions- since I didn’t have any side effects from taking the pharmaceuticals, would it be helpful to do another 3 week round in the near or distant future? Has this ever been recommended?”
