Hi, everybody. It's Cheryl Ackison. Welcome to another edition of Full Measure After Hours. Today, a new

medical journal, not captured by Big Pharma. I think this is a fascinating and underreported story,

my favorite kind. For decades, the world's

most prestigious medical journals, I'm talking about the New England Journal of Medicine,

the British Journal Lancet, they've been trusted as the supposed gold standard for scientific

research. But something really disturbing has been happening

in recent decades. Many doctors who rely on the information in these journals don't know the

shocking truth. Much of the information in these journals is slanted or even untrue. And as you'll

hear in today's podcast, that's not according to me alone. That's information

I first got from some of the journal leaders themselves who disclosed and admitted and confessed

to how much material in their own published journals is simply not to be trusted. Well, now Dr. Joseph Varon is a critical care specialist and president

of the Independent Medical Alliance, and he is new to the medical journal scene. He has started

an independent medical journal called the Journal of Independent Medicine. I will be interviewing him

in depth and reporting on his

journal Sunday, February 8th on full measure. But in today's podcast, you get to hear excerpts from the

interview as to why and how he got the idea for this independent journal, why the time is so right

for such a publication. By the way, he is

quite an accomplished fellow. He has specialties in internal medicine, intensive care, pulmonary

medicine, geriatrics, emergency medicine, and sleep disorders. I have long thought about or complained about the fact that I think

today many of our doctors are taught in a way that is so stovepiped that sometimes they don't have

the expertise to put two and two together when maybe someone's illness involves other systems

that they haven't studied as well.
