BANNED: The Sleep Drug So Effective, It Became Public Enemy #1

If you thought what they did to ivermectin was bad, wait till you hear what they did to this drug.

🧵 THREAD Image
Did you know modern sleeping pills disrupt healthy sleep, making you 2 to 5 times MORE likely to DIE?

There was one prescription sleep aid that actually worked.

But it was so cheap and effective, the FDA launched a 10-year campaign to take it down.

This is the ivermectin of sleep.Image
Poor sleep doesn’t just make you tired. It wreaks havoc on virtually every process in the body.

Not getting adequate sleep destroys your memory, wrecks your metabolism (increasing your risk of cancer), makes you more likely to die from heart disease, and more.

And here’s the kicker: some sleeping pills don’t fix this—they make it worse. They sedate you instead of restoring real sleep, and that disruption is part of the danger.

It’s really serious.Image
What’s terrifying is that most of today’s sleeping pills are actually sedatives—and those are the kind that make sleep problems even worse.

You’re not getting better sleep, you're just being fooled into thinking you are.

Studies have shown that these pills sedate the brain and block the natural sleep cycles our bodies need to heal and recover.

That’s why people who take them are 2 to 5 times more likely to die!

Sleep is healing. If you’re not sleeping, your body has no time to do the important work that keeps it functioning.

That’s pretty scary.Image
What no one seems to remember is that there was one drug that actually worked. And you probably know what happened next.

Big Pharma was terrified. Why? Because they don’t profit from people who heal in their sleep—they need lifelong customers. Image
So they launched a full-blown attack on a drug that was safe, restored natural sleep, and reversed chronic illness.

And it wasn’t even addictive. Read more on that in @MidwesternDoc's full report.
midwesterndoctor.com/p/why-isnt-the…
@MidwesternDoc It was called GHB, which is short for gamma-hydroxybutyrate.

If you thought what they did to ivermectin was bad, wait till you hear what they did to this drug.
@MidwesternDoc No, it’s not the “date-rape drug” the media told you about.

That was just the cover story.

GHB has been successfully used in Europe since the 1960s to help people sleep, heal, and recover from trauma, addiction, and even neurodegenerative diseases. Image
@MidwesternDoc And when it hit the U.S. market in the 1990s, patients were experiencing what one doctor called “miraculous” recoveries.

That’s great news and something to celebrate. Image
@MidwesternDoc But what did the FDA do?

They banned it.

They. BANNED. It.
midwesterndoctor.com/p/why-isnt-the…
The FDA launched a fear campaign (not unlike what they did to ivermectin), working in lockstep with the media to stir up public hysteria.

They used cherry-picked case reports to frame GHB as a dangerous drug used by criminals.

And then they labeled it a “schedule I” drug—more restricted than cocaine.Image
@MidwesternDoc If you don’t believe me, watch this @jimmy_dore video and prepare to have your mind blown.

You can read @MidwesternDoc's report here:

But wait, there’s more...

They left a loophole open for a pharmaceutical version of GHB—sodium oxybate (Xyrem)—which now costs up to $100,000 per year and is only available for people suffering from narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia.

Same drug. Just 1,000 times more expensive and heavily restricted.

Thanks, FDA.Image
In case you missed it, this is exactly how Big Pharma operates.

They smear and ban anything they can’t control.

Then they patent the same thing, restrict its use, and sell it back to you at a massive markup.

And at the same time, they claim there are “no safe alternatives” so you keep taking pills that don’t work and only make things worse.

And maybe, just maybe, that means you’ll need even more Big Pharma in your life.Image
Back to the costs of poor sleep… because that’s the most important takeaway here.

The costs are absolutely astronomical:

• Up to a 60% higher risk of heart attack

• A 70% higher risk of Alzheimer’s

• A 2-3X higher risk of infection, including cancer

• More car crashes than drunk driving

• Hormonal collapse, emotional instability, and accelerated agingImage
The truth is clear: Sleep is the foundation of your health.

It supports detoxification of the brain and regulates immune function.

But instead of getting to the root cause of poor sleep, we’re being bombarded with ads for sleep aids, detox aids, and immune system boosters when all we really need to do is… sleep.

That’s because modern western medicine is designed to control and suppress symptoms, not get to the root cause. It ignores the body’s innate healing abilities and tries to sell you drugs.

Stop falling for it. Trust your body instead.Image
@MidwesternDoc @jimmy_dore You can take back control of your health, and you can do it right now. @MidwesternDoc has compiled many helpful resources.

Here’s some easy things you can start this week...

Improve your sleep hygiene with simple behavior changes, like:

• A consistent sleep schedule

• Avoiding screens before bed

• Reduce caffeine and alcohol intake

And if you’re really struggling with sleep, consider something like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) before popping pills.Image
Unfortunately, the world we’re living in profits from exhaustion.

And to top it off, we’re given sedatives that rob your body of the healing it needs to function.

They destroyed the one sleeping pill that actually worked. And lied to you about it.

They’ve built an entire “sleep economy” on your suffering—now worth over $432 billion a year.

It’s disgusting.Image
@MidwesternDoc @jimmy_dore So now that you know the truth, the question is: How long have they been doing this?

And how many other safe, effective treatments have they attacked and buried?

It’s time to stop following “expert” advice without doing your own research.
midwesterndoctor.com/p/why-isnt-the…
@MidwesternDoc @jimmy_dore It’s time to listen to the doctors (like @MidwesternDoc) who put themselves on the line—who truly want to heal and inform.

And it’s time to finally get a good night’s sleep. Image

REPORT: The NIH is now funding research into ivermectin as a cancer treatment.

Yes, the same drug they mocked as “horse paste” is now being seriously studied—for its ability to kill cancer cells.

On February 10, the NIH confirmed it’s funding preclinical trials on ivermectin’s anti-cancer properties. Dr. Anthony Letai, head of the National Cancer Institute, said there’s “enough interest” and “enough reports” to take it seriously. Studies are already underway, with results expected in just a few months.

This follows 2024 and 2025 reviews by U.S. scientists showing signs that ivermectin can inhibit tumors. The NIH is now backing that research, pointing to ivermectin’s Nobel Prize-winning legacy and its decades of safe, FDA-approved use in humans.

But instead of welcoming a promising, low-cost treatment, the media doubled down. Outlets like MedPage Today rushed to dismiss the story as “right-wing hype,” ignoring the science and smearing anyone who dared to ask questions.

Why attack a drug that could save lives—unless the real threat is to their bottom line?

If ivermectin works, it won’t just save lives. It’ll shatter the system built to suppress it.

In other news, Republicans and Democrats are backing a bill that opens the door to mandatory Digital ID for every American.

It’s called the “Kids Off Social Media Act.” But it doesn’t just target kids. It targets you.

The bill bans anyone under 13 from having a social media account. Sounds reasonable—until you realize enforcement means scanning your face, checking your ID, or tracking your device… just to prove you’re old enough to speak online.

The bill doesn’t have to say “Digital ID.” The logic demands it. And once those systems are in place, they won’t stop at children. They’ll be used to control what you can say, see, and share.

Multiple states have already declared these laws unconstitutional. So why are Republicans still pushing them?

This is exactly how it started in the UK. Today, people are getting arrested for memes.

Watch @zeeemedia's report before they normalize this—and your freedom to speak anonymously disappears forever.

Polio didn’t disappear the way you think it did.

Google why we no longer see crippled kids from polio. You’ll get one answer: vaccines.

But Dr. Suzanne Humphries says that’s not what the facts show—and when you dig into the history, the real story is jaw-dropping.

First off, polio never actually disappeared. “Polio is still here. Polio is still alive and well,” Humphries says.

What changed? The definition. Once the vaccine was introduced, the medical establishment redefined what counted as “polio.”

Humphries explains: “Polio is called different things today. Whereas back in the 1940s, 1950s, the criteria for diagnosing polio were completely different to the year that the vaccine was introduced. The playing field, the goalposts—everything was changed… they were able to show a complete cascading drop of paralytic polio simply because of the way they changed the definitions of what polio is and what could cause it.”

Suddenly, cases that would’ve been labeled polio were now called Guillain-Barré syndrome, coxsackievirus, echovirus—or simply chalked up to heavy metal poisoning. “They didn’t have virus, or they had coxsackievirus or echovirus, or they were lead poisoned or mercury poisoned, which was—the mercury and lead were the leading treatments of the day,” she said.

But it gets worse.

The rise of polio, she says, directly mirrored the use of toxic pesticides like DDT. “The tonnage of production of DDT absolutely mirrored the diagnosis for polio.” And even today, “the countries that still make DDT today is where we’re still seeing this paralytic polio situation happen.”

So what about the virus?

Polio virus, according to Humphries, is what’s known as a commensal—a normal virus that lives in most people without causing problems. In fact, “95 to 99% of all polio is asymptomatic.” She described a study of the Javante Indians where “98 to 99% of every person they tested… had evidence of immunity to all three strains of polio.”

When asked where all the paralyzed children were, she recalled: “They were like, ‘We don’t have any of that problem.’”

Humphries also points to a 1916 Rockefeller lab in Manhattan that, in her words, had “the specific stated goal… to try to create the most pathological, neuropathological strain of polio possible.” By injecting monkey brains and human spinal serum into monkeys, “there was a big problem with that, which was released into the public by accident. And the world experienced the worst polio epidemic on record. 25% mortality.”

Bottom line? According to Dr. Humphries, polio didn’t disappear because of vaccines. It disappeared behind a curtain of redefinitions, misdiagnoses, manmade disasters—and a whole lot of propaganda.

And if they went that far to deceive you about the polio vaccine, what else are they lying about? 🧵
Did you know the original smallpox vaccine caused serious injuries—and was often contaminated with pus, bacteria, and fungus?

We’ve been told it saved humanity from a deadly disease, but what if that’s a lie?

Dr. Suzanne Humphries explained to Joe Rogan what happened to children who received the vaccine. They developed large ulcers, high fevers, and widespread infections. With no antibiotics available, treatments were limited to mercury, arsenic, bloodletting, or isolation in dark rooms.

These severe reactions weren’t considered rare. In fact, they were referred to as “a good take.”

What made matters worse was how the vaccine was produced. According to Dr. Humphries, it was made by infecting animals and harvesting the resulting pus.

“They would take pus from other animals, scratch it into the belly of a cow, then take the pus off of the big pimples that would form,” she said. The material—called “pure lymph”—often came from cadavers, horses, or ulcerating cow udders, mixed with glycerin, and scratched into the surface of the skin.

Even decades later, contamination was an issue. “There was more bacteria and fungus in the smallpox vaccines than there was smallpox virus.” One widely used version, Dryvax, was eventually considered so problematic that health authorities ordered all remaining specimens destroyed around 2009.

Living conditions at the time were “a disaster.” Streets were filled with human and animal waste, there was no running water, and sanitation was nearly nonexistent. Poor hygiene and co-infections absolutely made smallpox far more deadly than it might have been otherwise.

Despite all this, the smallpox vaccine is still presented as a flawless triumph.

But for those who experienced the injuries firsthand, and for those who study its full history, the story isn’t so simple.

“This is the one vaccine that eliminated, eradicated a disease,” Dr. Humphries said sarcastically. “Can you believe that fairytale?”
We’ve all been taught that the smallpox vaccine was one of medicine’s greatest triumphs.

But when you read the actual clinical observations recorded by doctors who lived through its rollout, a far more unsettling picture emerges.

It’s not propaganda, and it’s not hindsight. It’s primary-source medicine.

And much of it was quietly buried.Image

There’s a reason doctors love pushing vaccines. The more they inject, the more money they make.

The foot traffic alone brings in big money, but there’s another perverse incentive, and once you hear it, it will make you angry.

RFK Jr. explains: “Pediatricians who vaccinate 80-85% of the kids in their office, get these giant bonuses... And that's why they throw you out of the office if you fight back…You'll lose them their bonuses.”

Sadly, these perverse financial incentives aren’t limited to vaccines but across many areas of medicine.

Dig a little deeper, and another disturbing pattern appears. Once you see it, you’re left gobsmacked by just how far the corruption runs beyond money. 🧵
The video below is haunting—not because the doctor in it is malicious, but because she genuinely believes she’s helping.

She’s an MD with a Master’s in Public Health, a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and a former leader at Georgetown. Her language is warm. Her intentions seem pure.

Yet this interview perfectly captures how public health has lost its way.

After conquering most deadly contagious diseases, it turned toward chronic illness—and failed.

Instead of questioning why children are getting sicker, it doubled down on vaccinating more, earlier, and without dissent, often dismissing safety concerns as heresy.

Watch this video. Then ask yourself what matters more in modern medicine: children’s outcomes—or institutional certainty.

A lawsuit filed several years ago exposed something far more disturbing than a single act of medical misconduct.

It revealed how, during COVID, core medical ethics quietly collapsed—how consent became optional, coercion was reframed as care, and vulnerable people were treated as obstacles rather than patients.

This isn’t about ideology. It’s about what happens when fear, authority, and institutional pressure override conscience.Image

The real cause of heart disease has been buried for decades in favor of the lie about cholesterol.

40 million Americans take statins to lower their cholesterol, thinking it’s the best way to protect their hearts.

But what doctors never tell them is that statins interfere with the body’s natural repair system, weakening the very cells that rely on cholesterol to function.

In trying to prevent disease, they’re paradoxically fueling it.

This report exposes what really happens to the body when you take a statin every day.
This information comes from the work of medical researcher @MidwesternDoc.

For years, doctors have been taught that high cholesterol causes heart attacks. They’ve passed the warning along to their patients, and most of us have believed them.

But that idea came from one man: Ancel Keys.

Keys cherry-picked data to make fat and cholesterol look deadly while ignoring the real culprit: sugar.

John Yudkin tried to warn the world that sugar—not fat—was driving heart disease. But no one listened. He was ridiculed, silenced, and erased from history.Image

This drug reversed a condition that usually ends with a ventilator and a body bag.

Three patients were on the brink of death from total lung failure.

Then they were given intravenous DMSO—and something incredible happened.

Days later, they were breathing freely. One even had completely normal lungs within just a week.

You’ve probably never heard of DMSO—and that’s by design.

Once you see what it can do, you’ll understand why it had to be buried.

DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) use exploded in the 1960s as a medical breakthrough.

There were thousands of studies.
There was massive public demand.
And there were miracle recoveries.

But the FDA dropped the hammer—and the pharmaceutical industry buried DMSO.

Why?

Because it worked.Image

In 2015, Scott Adams made a “crazy” prediction that most people thought was impossible.

He said Trump had a 98% chance of becoming president, and he made that call on a single observation.

The winning attribute that made Scott confident in Trump’s victory was his one-of-a-kind persuasion skills.

While political betting markets dismissed Trump’s chances, Adams argued—using his background in persuasion and hypnosis—that Trump was the most psychologically effective candidate in the race and therefore favored to win.

He built a massive following by showing how persuasion, not policy, drives political outcomes.

That insight proved correct. But it also revealed something darker. 🧵
After Trump’s victory, Adams pivoted to punditry—and during COVID, even he struggled to see the truth.

Scott strongly endorsed the vaccines, vaccinated himself, and publicly belittled followers who refused. Many later derisively called him “Clot Adams.”

In January 2023, Adams admitted—on video—that he’d been wrong and that the anti-vaxxers were correct. But he framed it as luck: the right people just happened to distrust the government, while “all the data” supposedly pointed intelligent analysts toward vaccination.

That framing matters. It reveals how even skilled observers of persuasion can mistake marketing consensus for truth—and how the same system that manufactures medical certainty also hides the limits of medicine, until reality forces a reckoning.
Last May, Scott told the world something most people never say out loud until it’s unavoidable: he had terminal, metastatic prostate cancer.

He openly stated he planned to use California’s medically assisted dying to reduce suffering.

He also shut down speculation—saying he had already tried fenbendazole and ivermectin and had no interest in continuing them.

The reaction was explosive.

People weren’t just debating treatment choices—they were watching, in real time, what a protracted, modern death actually looks like.

For many, it shattered comforting abstractions about both cancer and mortality.
