About

HI,

My name is Brad and I am the host of the Chronically Human Podcast. Thanks for checking out my Locals channel. This channel welcomes all Conservatives, Populists, Libertarians and well meaning liberals, even though they maybe slightly misguided (think Jimmy Dore) and all Free People of Good Will who don’t care for labels, who want to have open and free discussions about how to live best with the common condition that we all share, which is being Chronically Human.

I have what I call a PhD in Pain. I’ve suffered for over thirty years with chronic pain, I’ve had dozens of surgeries, and spent hundreds of days in the hospital. Because of my first hand experiences with the Modern Medical System I’ve dedicated my life to advocating for Medical Freedom - which isn’t possible without Economic and Political Freedom as Well. That is why I started the Chronically Human Podcast and the Chronically Human Locals Channel.

I’m not a doctor or a lawyer or a research scientist but I’ve spent the last three decades studying in depth what Pain does to an individual and to a family. Pain is a very individual experience. You can’t relay what it feels like to experience pain to another person. That is why every individual is the ultimate arbiter of what they choose to consume or not consume, in order to defend themselves against pain. No politician, bureaucrat, lobbyist, judge, policeman, scientist, or doctor has the right to limit or force upon me what I can use to defend myself. I believe that every individuals has a Natural Right to defend themselves against degeneration, disease and pain with the best tools they can peacefully acquire. Self Defense encompasses so much more than what the popular limited concept of it has become.

I am a huge proponent of the Second Amendment, but it is Second for a Reason. The First Amendment of the Constitution is all about Self Defense and the First area in which the State has zero authority to interfere with is, that of Religion. Like the concept of Self Defense, the true concept of Religion has been whittled down until it has become a corrupt caricature in the minds of many of what it truly means. Religion is nothing more than your Primary Abstraction that answers the big questions about life. Your Religion provides you answers to everything from, How did the Universe began, to what is a human being, to informing you of the purpose of life. The Founders of America knew that individuals must be Free to determine for themselves how to see the world and that the State had no power to interfere. Everyone is Religious whether they believe they are or not. Human beings are innately Religious and each of us has a Natural Right to place God in the place of our highest ideal or since we all have Free Will, we can choose not to believe in God and instead choose something else as our highest ideal, which for today’s generation is most likely the State.

In the Bill of Rights after the State is expressly prohibited from interfering with the Right to choose one’s own Religion - the State is next Prohibited from Abridging the Freedom of Speech of the Individual and of the People. Over the last two years we’ve seen a huge increase in the attack on Free Speech through the guise of combating “medical misinformation.” The Constitution doesn’t mention the Freedom of Speech includes everything except Medical Information that isn’t currently approved by a taxpayer funded bureaucrat or

Pain is our constant companion in this life and it is a miracle that God, if you’ve chosen not to believe in God, then Nature, has provided us with the Papaver Somniferum flower aka the Opium Poppy, the derivatives from it and synthetic pain killers, to relieve physical suffering. For thousands of years humans have been using this miraculous plant to ease suffering but its pain reliever compounds as well as the synthetically created pain relievers, have been demonized in America for over a hundred years. Why has this happened? Why do so many seek to end the ability of the individual to buy and use a firearm in self defense? The more the individual is disarmed the more they become dependent on the State and its allies.

I believe that all useful or suspected useful substances should not be criminalized because they can be used for Self Defense. I believe that every individual is the ultimate arbiter of what the consume or not consume in order to improve their life. If you’ve watched the last two years and not been horrified by the oppression, the legal plunder and outright denial of the ability of the individual to defend themselves with non-toxic drugs then you might not enjoy the content in this community at this time. But I do believe what Thomas Paine wrote “Time makes more Converts than Reason” and one day most Americans will come to believe that Medical Freedom and not Medical Tyranny is the best way for them to defend against disease, degeneration and pain.

If you believe in the Natural Right to Defend yourself with the most effective tool available (which is firearms today), against those that seek to do you harm, then you should also believe that everyone has a Natural Right to defend themselves against the forces - whether internal or external, that seek to cause them illness, injury or pain. Tools can be used for degeneration or regeneration. This is where the moral choice of the individual comes into play. No tool is evil or good by itself. A gun an be used to murder someone or it can be used to prevent someone from being murdered. The same is true of drugs. If a firearm, the Freedom to Speak and to Vote are not too dangerous for an individual to be entrusted with then neither is the Freedom to Choose what they consume or not consume too dangerous for them to decide.

Medical Freedom can not be achieved without enjoying Political and Economic Freedom. Only when we have a Free Market In Medicine can individuals decide for themselves, either by consulting medical professionals, experimenting on their own, learning from the experiences of others, or relying on other experts that they trust to help guide them in their quest for an improved life through the consumption of useful substances. This community is dedicated to facilitating conversations that can help us all live better with the common condition we all share, which is being Chronically Human.

I welcome you to check out the channel, hang out and join the discussion. We look forward to hearing from you.
