Australian celebrity and ex-supermodel Elle Macpherson is in the news for the awful crimes of thinking for herself, disregarding the views of experts, and practicing body autonomy. Elle’s misstep with polite society was to reveal in passing in an interview that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer seven years ago, but after consulting with around 30 specialists she had decided to forego standard medical treatment and opted for an holistic approach, the result of which is that she is in remission.
The mainstream media on the orders of the pharmaceutical industry has dutifully gone batshit crazy, with the various medical associations coming in at a close run second for losing their minds. The vitriol directed at Macpherson needs to be read to be believed, with this article in The Guardian being a particularly nasty example. The various media editors have been careful to make sure that all such articles attacking Macpherson have been written by women, since any mere man would naturally be an awful misogynist if he dared to criticise as such. So much for the loyalty of the sisterhood.
Her treatment decision has come under fire from cancer experts, including Dr David Robert Grimes, assistant professor of public health and primary care at Trinity College Dublin, who tweeted:
“Incredibly irresponsible from Elle Macpherson: Holistic therapy is NOT valid treatment for breast cancer. So entitled that a multimillionaire with access to best healthcare advises women to ignore medical advice.
“Ample evidence this bullshit kills people.”
There is also ample evidence that chemotherapy and other nasty treatments kill people too, but only after keeping the patient miserably alive for long enough to plunder all of their remaining financial resources. Officially approved death by medicine is condoned and good. Off the reservation quack treatments are bad and unacceptable, particularly if the patient in question has the audacity and bad taste to survive.
The Cancer Council says it does not recommend alternative therapies.
“Alternative therapies are often promoted as ‘cancer cures’, but they are unproven and have not been scientifically tested. They may cause harm or suffering to those who use them instead of conventional medical treatments,” it says on its website.
The harm and suffering caused by chemotherapy and radiation treatments are of course all well and good, seeing as when you eventually die from them at least your loved ones will know that they were scientifically tested and approved.
Elle Macpherson’s interview would have slipped off the radar in a matter of hours; it’s not as if the world is hanging on every word published by the Australia Woman’s Weekly. But for some reason the media was instructed to go into overdrive, and their damage control became the very damage itself. But why is it socially and morally unacceptable for an individual to choose their own treatment for a disease that is attacking their own body?
One of the lessons of the Covid scam was that the powers at be do not want individuals deciding for themselves about how to treat their own illnesses. Seeing as they are beholden to pesky charters of human rights and the like, for now they are unable to unilaterally legislate that only governments can decide the cures that you will take. As such, they are limited to propaganda, scare mongering and the demonisation of those who have the temerity to think for themselves.
But I have no doubt that in the future if they have their way that citizens will be obligated to attend doctors’ clinics on a regular basis so as to be “correctly” diagnosed and receive the “approved” treatments paid for by the compulsory health care which they are forced to pay for, and all for their own good of course.
Public figures like Elle Macpherson are a direct threat to this financial merry-go-round, and for that reason they must be immediately attacked and discredited so that all “good thinking” people will be immune to their siren calls of unapproved treatments.
Macpherson’s biggest sin was to cure herself. The very last thing that the cancer industry wants is for a cure for cancer to actually be discovered by the general public. The day that happens the entire gravy train grinds to a halt, and it is by now a very large gravy train indeed. Cancer rates are on the rise, the general public keeps consuming artificial food, and our children are pockmarked with over 60 vaccines by the time they reach an age of double figures. All unconnected, of course.
Look over there at that bad Elle Macpherson! Look at how old she looks! Look at what crazy people she associates with! Shun her, unclean! Unclean!
