Scientists Warning — Update from Stuart I return to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, on May 16. Over the following week or two I will be undergoing additional testing, a biopsy, imaging and scans (with and without radioactive tracers), treatment and consulting with their medical staff. Despite the possible detection of another metastasis, the prognosis from my principal Mayo oncologist was that he expects me to live for years more with proper standard medical approaches and complementary modalities. I have been responding well so far. In particular, he is fully supportive of the intravenous high dose Vitamin C infusions I receive, twice a week at present. However, since no one can patent Vitamin C, and the medical establishment (therefore?) does not consider it an ‘approved’ treatment modality, it is expensive but not insurable. Those biweekly drips alone are costing me $1800 a month. Suffice it so say, I am running through my savings at an unsustainable rate. Moreover, even though Medicare will cover 80% of the cost of ‘approved’ treatment, travel and lodging is not covered, nor is all of the supplements that I am consuming to support my immune system and healing. I am deeply grateful for the support I’ve received to date through the GoFundMe set up in 2019. As I continue to need to travel to the Mayo Clinic as well as to undergo alternative therapies, I still need and am deeply grateful for the continuing support of that fundraising campaign. Please share our work with others, along perhaps with this link… Fund for Stuart’s Healing Increasing Awareness of the Scientists’ Warnings It is quite apparent that very few people in government on both sides of the Alantic are still not even aware of the Second Scientists’ Warning or the Scientists’ Climate Emergency Warning, let alone taking any serious notice of them when managing government affairs. We would like to remedy this situation, but we can only do this with the help of our individual supporters. Would you be prepared to send a letter to your MP and the leader of your local authority in the UK? Would you be prepared to send a letter to your Senator and Congressman and maybe even your town mayor in the USA, or send one to the officials appropriate to the country in which you live? If sent by e-mail, such a letter need only contain links to the First, Second and Climate Emergency Warnings. If sent by post, the letter should contain a paper copy of at least the Climate Emergency Warning and the Second Scientists’ Warning, and ideally the First Scientist Warning as well. We fully appreciate that the amount of paper copy enclosed will be down to how much trouble and expense you are prepared to go to. If you feel you need them, basic template letters for both approaches will be sent to you on request to [email protected]. You can adapt these to suit your circumstances, perhaps including some reference to local affairs that may help to grab their attention. With the help of over 4,500 individual signatories to the Second Warning, and anyone else who is motivated to assist us by reading this, we thank you all in anticipation of making this a sucessful major awareness campaign. SW YouTube Channel We invite you to view and share videos from our Scientists’ Warning YouTube channel: https://www.scientistswarning.tv Our most recent video features Part 2 of Stuart Scott’s conversation with John Doyle, Member of the EU Foresight Group within the EU Commission. Again, the title ‘The End of Normal’ says it all. The current COVID-19 pandemic has changed civilization, and in many ways, there is no going back, as hard as political leaders will try to kick-start the old Growth Economics. This is Part 2, which was elicited by an email from John Doyle, a long time EU Commission member, sent to his EU colleagues, on which Stuart Scott was copied. The subject line was ‘The End of Normal’ and the body of the email was a shock-and-a-half, even though John and Stuart share the same view of humanity’s ‘prognosis.’ SW Website We invite you to read and share articles from our Blog and Wiki. As mentioned last week, there is also a new Scientists Warning paper called: Microrganisms and Climate Change available on the site. We have several articles currently in the queue. Stay tuned!
