Welcome to another edition of the Doctor's Note where we talk about what's on our minds when it comes to your health.
This week's podcast is something I've been wanting to do for a couple of years now, but frankly, I've been hesitant due to past censorship. Finally, the opportunity came to sit down with my colleague and friend, Dr. Denise Sibley, and discuss our experiences treating COVID-19. It felt good to talk openly and honestly.
What an incredible conversation with a true hero in medicine. Dr. Sibley, who has treated over 8,000 COVID patients and 1,000 vaccine injuries, shared her remarkable story of standing up against the medical establishment to help save lives. Like me, she recognized early on that something wasn't right when we couldn't even prescribe basic medications we'd been using for decades. We were both independent practitioners, which allowed us the freedom to treat patients the way we knew was right, even when facing intense pressure and criticism.
The conversation with Dr. Sibley really highlighted what medicine should be about - helping people, regardless of the personal cost. She even treated patients for free, something that still amazes me, though it doesn't surprise me given her character and dedication to true patient care.
PODCAST NOTES
Dr. Sibley is a remarkable physician. She trained at the University of Virginia and has been certified in Internal Medicine since 1989. She’s spent years honing her craft, eventually going independent in 2003 and shifting to a cash-based practice in 2010. Her independence has been crucial in her ability to treat COVID-19 patients effectively without the constraints of larger medical institutions.
Both Dr. Sibley and I have faced significant opposition and censorship for the treatment methods we advocated during the COVID-19 pandemic. The fear of losing licenses and the constant hurdles placed by professional bodies were taxing. Still, we both chose to stay true to our medical philosophies and our commitment to saving lives.
Dr. Sibley told of how pharmacists refused to fill her prescriptions for Hydroxychloroquine based on suspicions they were intended for COVID-19 treatment. This was baffling, given the drug's long history of safe use. It was the first clear sign that something was amiss in the way early COVID-19 treatment was being managed.
We discussed the systemic failures in treating COVID-19, particularly the practice of sending patients home from the ER untreated until they were critically ill. This approach was unprecedented and, in our view, contributed to avoidable suffering and deaths. It was a bleak departure from the proactive care we were accustomed to providing.
Dr. Sibley broke down the regulatory barriers put in place to maintain the vaccines' emergency use authorizations. Repurposed drugs like Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin had to be sidelined to fit this agenda, despite their potential efficacy. This was a clear demonstration of profit-driven motives overshadowing patient care.
As we treated more patients, we adapted our protocols continually. Dr. Sibley mentioned how Dr. Chetty from South Africa influenced her to use very high doses of prednisone, a method that, though unconventional at first, proved effective in preventing severe respiratory issues. We also used a range of other treatments, from Ivermectin to various nutraceuticals.
The gratitude from patients has been profoundly moving for both of us. Dr. Sibley and I shared stories of patients stopping us in public or sending heartfelt messages, crediting us with saving their lives. Despite the challenges, these moments of recognition and gratitude reaffirm the importance and impact of our work.
We continue to treat COVID-19, although the situation is less dire than in the early days. Dr. Sibley shared her struggles with legal battles, culminating in the loss of her board certification for allegedly spreading misinformation. However, she remains steadfast in her mission, viewing this work as a divine calling. Note: Tennessee allows Ivermectin without a prescription, a significant WIN for accessible treatment.
Dr. Sibley and I are both deeply committed to medicine for the right reasons, and we believe our experiences have only made us stronger and more determined. Thanks for listening to this podcast. Let it be a reminder to do your own research and seek out the truth. Good patient care depends on it!
Tune in next week as Dr. Sibley and I dive into the COVID-19 Vaccine discussion. Another episode you don’t want to miss!
Stay educated. Stay healthy.
Till next week.
