What are your thoughts on that?
16:32
I do think that many women, as I mentioned, many women choose to have a free birth because Because they've been conditioned to be afraid of the hospital.
16:40
And why wouldn't they be? You know, we advertise this safety signal.
16:45
Like, come to the place that's safe.
16:47
And every doctor, many nurse practitioners, many CNMs, many...

Anybody working in this sort of megalithic industrial complex, this medical industrial complex, is going to see this as, this is the only safe way to do it.

So what are your thoughts for people in situations like this?
111:26
I agree with you

111:40
There are certain instances in which somebody might argue that for this cancer, we can say that we saved this person's life and this and that.

But that is also a very, very imperfect part of the allopathic model of cancer diagnosis and maintenance, let's just say.
111:55
Merck smartly, instead of saying, they weren't smart because they end up advertising that this prevents cervical cancer, but instead of studying whether or not this actually modifies your risk of getting cervical cancer, let alone dying from cervical cancer, they say, well, let's use these other endpoints, SYN2 and SYN3, because we know, I'm using air quotes on my end if you're listening, that that's going to lead to cancer.
112:18
But it doesn't because I just said a lot of it regresses.

Like obviously the environment is much better, but when it comes to like the hierarchy of authority, when you are stepping foot onto someone else's turf, versus them having to step foot into your turf, that completely changes things.
