Without the I-Mask + protocol, I, as a nurse, could have succumbed to the illness when working in a clinic treating patients throughout the timeline. All praise to you and Dr. Marik. You truly saved my life and kept me healthy.

Masks don't do shit.

Expand full comment

Quite true, masks don't do shit, but neither do uninformed reflexive comments like your response here.

The I-MASK protocol is a hospital treatment protocol for Covid-19 developed by the FLCCC.net (Dr. Kory & Dr. Marik's alliance) back in 2021. The "I" stood for ivermectin. Since ivermectin became so vilified as to be impossible to obtain in a hospital setting, the "I" was dropped and a revised protocol was developed, the MATH+ protocol (https://covid19criticalcare.com/protocol/math-covid-hospital-treatment/)

The MATH+ protocol was created to treat patients in hospital and intensive care units, based on using therapies such as anti-inflammatory corticosteroids (Methylprednisolone), high-dose intravenous Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid), Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), and an anticoagulant (Heparin), plus co-interventions such as antivirals and supplements (MATH+).

I believe the "K" in I-MASK was Vitamin K, now replaced with another anticoagulant, Heparin, hence the acronym: MATH+

Well said

Amen. Wonderful clarification. The initial protocol of supplements kept me healthy.

Not sure of your background, but the I-Mask + was an initial protocol and hasn’t anything to do with simply “masking’”. It is a protocol of the healthy use of certain specific supplements to boost your immune system and protect from illness. That, in and of itself, helped keep me disease free the entire time in a front-line (so-to-speak) position working with patients in a clinic setting. Of course, masks do not stop anything that is micron in size. We know this. Dr. Blaylock put out an article at the very beginning showing this, and as a critical thinker, it was taken seriously.

Hope you have read the replies with the accurate definition of what I-MASK meant? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thank you for this informative post. You are educating us all about the corruption that has taken over medicine. You have my utmost respect for the honesty you and Dr. Marik have exhibited. Fight on and continue to educate us. I look forward to another book from you.

Have you read the comments on the Medscape article announcing your decertification? All medical folks, of course, and of the ones I scanned, ALL opposed to ABIM decision, even those who admit they don't think IVM works. They still favor freedom of speech and debate and inquiry.

Wow, I did not know that - I too read medscape occasionally for comic relief but I am happy to hear that even the unawake docs don't agree. I can't tell you how uplifting it is to hear that. thank you.

I essentially NEVER read anything there. Recently I clicked on a headline about something relevant to our family, to see what nonsense they were purveying, and I was delighted to see the pushback in the comments against the nonsense being touted as good medicine.

So, naturally, when I saw the headline highlighting you and Dr Marik, I had to see what sorts of comments folks were making. It was delightful.

Chiming in on the Medscape article...I've been reading the comments since the article was posted, comments currently at 449, the vast majority are horrified by the decision and are in support of you and Dr. Marik. It is truly heartening to read these comments. There are a few pro-pharma, pro-mRNA regulars there - two docs and one nurse - relentlessly defending the shots, "saved millions of lives" and even denouncing so-called anti-vxxxxrs.

BTW, anyone can sign up for a Medscape account, they don't check your credentials to confirm you are in the medical field. For example, there is a V-injured person who comments on Medscape Covid articles a fair amount. He's obviously a patient, not a provider.

Interesting about them not checking credentials, as they claim only med professionals can comment. 🤷🏼‍♀️. Guess they leave it to self-policing, haha.

I go to MedScape for comedic relief. That place is a biased joke of a publication.

That's quite encouraging. It's still extremely frustrating that there are still doctors who don't think IVM works. They clearly haven't taken the time to study it. It's a similar situation here in Belgium. My GP is otherwise smart but is all for the jab and masks. A drone. Thankfully a doctor who was struck off for two years for prescribing it is back so I can get it. Want it for neuro inflammation.

For all of us who have family members, friends, and/or neighbors who are alive today because the information that we learned from Dr. Paul Marik and Dr. Pierre Kory (flccc.net) gave us the boldness to tell them, yes these protocols in general, ivermectin in particular, will save your life and no it is not too late............ and in memory of those who we were not able to tell and/or persuade ..........

here is the contact information for the American Board of Internal Medicine https://www.abim.org/contact/

and here is the contact information for the U.S. Congress https://www.congress.gov/contact-us

I am presuming that some powerful members of Congress were involved in pressuring the ABIM to take these actions. The [at least] 150-200 members of Congress (out of 535) whose families and staff used ivermectin for covid [ per Dr. Pierre Kory's Oct 2021 tweet] are most certainly aware of this issue.

Thanks for this Donna - a deluge of complaints puts a bit of pressure on them and may mitigate future actions by them. Too late for me though...

Expand full comment

Perhaps it's not too late for you, Marik, et al. Consider that the ABIM didn't always exist; it was started in 1936 by a group of individuals from the AMA and ACP who decided to create it, hopefully for honorable reasons at the time.

Point being, a parallel board (call it what you will) can be created by a consortium of HONEST doctors like yourself. Sure, it will take time to get off the ground and running. But since there's such a clear and apparently irreparable schism between you HONEST docs and the Pharma/ABIM cabal that it's super evident that you all need a professional "oversight" organization as an authority of legit science-based HONEST medicine and doctoring, who then can certify docs as such. Of course that would probably require getting existing ABIM-hospitals to jump ship over to "the good guys."

And pardon me if my naivete is running ahead of my enthusiasm about this possibility.

I suppose there was never any anticipation of pushback from people regarding the legitimacy and efficacy of covid vaccines or the “disease” itself.

Maybe the planners were certain that the entire populace would comply unequivocally.

They never thought there would be so many courageous, intelligent and capable people who would absolutely NOT surrender to their narrative.

While the government flounders around creating new definitions of things to suit their agenda, real doctors, scientists and other professionals have risen up to shine the light on the darkness we would otherwise never seen. The pain and suffering from standing up is not in vain, but has forged a new path for innovation within the scientific and medical communities without the muzzles and chains of nonsensical agencies and pompous boards.

The run-through they did (title escapes me) in Oct '19 predicted pushback. They of course know that a certain number of people are bright enough to smell an enormous rat.

Sorry about your hassle. Doctors have been screwed the last few decades. Sadly, most of them stood for it, like working ridiculous shifts. Why did doctors think it was a smart or safe thing to work those hours, especially with residents? A truck driver cannot drive for more than 16 hours without 8 hours break to sleep... But the surgeon operating on you could be up for 24 hours+?!

This is why private companies should not run public health and certification programs.

They always let them use the excuse that a private company can censor etc.

So let's make it a public utility...

At least it will have higher standards of transparency, such as foia and regulations.

The FDA and CDC like you said are mostly funded by private corporate money. Turn them back into government funding and this will give us tax payers a right to challenge their corruption.

I'm so tired of this fascism... Yes, state-corporatism is the economic definition of fascism.

Yes, out of all the nonsensical issues in medicine, the insanely long shifts really stand out.

I just asked the ABIM on their website email server, "Why should anyone trust you to credential people when you do it based on woke politics instead of proven professional qualifications?" If everyone else here were to ask the same question, they might recognize that they can't hide behind a facade of objectivity they no longer have.

I just got an auto-responder from them that says, "We are working on your message. Owing to higher than normal volume, we will do our best to respond within 3-5 business days, though it could take us a little longer.

Time-dated board certifications have become mere money-making schemes and control mechanisms for the individual physician to keep them from questioning the fraudulent "evidemce-based" medicine scheme, thinking for themselves, and acting in the best interests of their patients. The concept of continuing medical education (CME) is at first glance a good idea, but it has devolved into a mere money-making rubber stamp for maintaining the prevailing narrative desired by the Medical Industrial Complex. The people populating the boards of these certification frauds are the usual arrogant, self-aggrandizing academics who now control medical education on behalf of their masters (the USG, Big Pharma and the rest of the Med Ind Complex). It is tragic and unreformable. Physicians have sadly bought into this entire "certification" fraud and believed the lie that these entities improve patient care.

I am no longer board certified in family practice. What a scam. Just a way to get money from hard working doctors.

I very much appreciate the automated response that I just received from the American Board of Internal Medicine after contacting them this morning regarding the revocation of the board certifications of Dr. Pierre Kory and Dr. Paul Marik. https://www.abim.org/contact/

I very much hope that the ABIM will reconsider their actions and restore the board certifications of Dr. Paul Marik and Dr. Pierre Kory immediately. It would also be helpful if they identified who / what entities pressured them to take such an action that is so destructive to their reputation as a respected institution.

Hmm, if we had alternative licensing boards, with meaningful standards, could insurance companies and hospitals be persuaded to accept them?

Expand full comment

Honestly, insurance companies and hospitals are so captured that alternative licensing boards with meaningful standards (a GOOD THING!) might not make much difference.

It’s up to patients to educate themselves and take control of their own health — with help from information sources like Drs. Kory, Marik, and so many others who have spoken out. Then, they must insist on using independent, cash-pay (or subscription) doctors and hospitals.

And while we’re at it, we must completely transform allopathic medical schools which now spell “die” as “DEI”. Honest medicine should not promote either “die” or “DEI.”

Great idea.

You would have to get hospitals and insurance companies to accept the alternative licensing. Won't happen.

PM’s h-index is 116. Look what happened to his citations 2021-2024 after he endorsed repurposed medications like Ivermectin and concerned himself with vaccine injuries. It seems many of his tepid colleagues stopped citing his work on all manner of topics. That’s pathetic and I think another form of corruption. Go to this link and then tap “cited by.”

I keep thinking that your patients, and the non-medical population don’t even know who ABIM is, which is why you had to explain it.

We, the patients, don’t care what they have to say about our beloved doctors, and our opinions are suppose to be the ones who matter.

Is it completely impossible to think “we” could begin creating hospitals that aren’t subservient to all that nonsense? Can’t we create facilities to serve the people who want medical care minus Big Pharma/all the acronym groups?

I have no idea how - the system is entrenched and regulatory bodies will shut down anything that tries to work outside that "system"

There are some direct pay only surgery centers that have started popping up. Similar to your direct pay practice, the key is simply to remove the third-party payer system. Easier said than done as these crooks have taken greater control over medicine incrementally over the years (i.e. Medicare, Obamacare, etc).

There is not ABIM itself, but something called the ABIM Foundation.

https://abimfoundation.org/

If you look at the financial statements, you can see that they are investing in something, but the details are not written. They are probably investing in pharmaceuticals and related companies.

It is natural to assume that is the case since they have not disclosed it.

If that's the case, then the ABIM will revoke the licenses of doctors who go against all the money-making (= vaccinations + expensive prevention and treatment).

But since I'm Japanese, I've read a book published in 2021 by Dr. Satoshi Omura, the discoverer and developer of Ivermectin, on suppressing Sarscov2. I think the American people are truly unfortunate to have such a terrible medical system. Japanese public health doctors and scholars are all idiots, but some doctors have been treating with Ivermectin since 2020.
