A Message from Dr. McMillan
Throughout history, there have been individuals who break paradigms and lead us toward new ways of thinking. Dr. Shankara Chetty is one such figure, a beacon of human resourcefulness in the face of pandemic challenges.
His clinical insights and innovative approach to patient care have set a powerful example, one that, in time, will be fully recognized for its impact. True progress in medicine comes from those willing to challenge conventional thinking and seek better solutions.
Let’s continue to support and learn from those who push the boundaries for the sake of better patient care.

ETHICS
A South African doctor, Shankara Chetty, discovered a pattern of blood clotting issues in patients eight days after COVID infection or vaccination.
Dr. Chetty faces legal challenges and potential license revocation for questioning vaccine safety and developing alternative treatment protocols.
He criticizes the WHO's approach during the pandemic, particularly their response to a malaria outbreak in Congo labeled as "Disease X."
His treatment philosophy combines conventional medicine with studying how emotions and stress affect DNA expression and immune system function.
Why is this important: Challenging medical orthodoxy, Dr. Chetty's findings expose potential vaccine risks and a troubling pattern of institutional suppression. His "Day 8" observations suggest consistent immune system reactions that warrant investigation, while highlighting how dissenting medical voices face professional persecution despite clinical evidence.
HEALTH
A new strain of norovirus is causing increased outbreaks across the U.S., spreading through direct contact and contaminated surfaces.
Symptoms include sudden explosive vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever, typically lasting two to three days.
Treatment focuses on preventing dehydration through small sips of clear liquids, with severe cases requiring hospital care.
Good hand hygiene with soap and water is crucial for prevention, as hand sanitizers are less effective against norovirus.
Why is this important: Surging norovirus rates combined with ongoing respiratory illnesses create a challenging public health landscape. Understanding prevention methods and recognizing symptoms enables better protection for vulnerable populations, particularly the elderly and young children who face higher risks of severe dehydration.
