Guylaine Lanctot is an anti-vaccine activist and altmed purveyor who locates herself on the more incoherently batshit end of the spectrum.
She is, indeed, an MD by training, but lost her license in Quebec and
subsequently relocated to Florida (hence her inclusion in this encyclopedia
even though she is ostensibly Canadian) where she pushes various forms of woo.
She is, however, a hero over at places such as Educateyourself and whale.to for her work, including books such as The
Medical Mafia.
According to Lanctot Zionist financiers have a stranglehold over the medical establishment,
and their control over the pharmaceutical industry have resulted in the medical
profession’s acceptance of quack medicine (i.e. prescription drugs and
vaccines) because it is profitable, even though it kills people (and took away
Lanctot’s medical license): “the whole medical system is designed to make
people sicker and sicker.” The book “also uncovers the truth behind vaccines,
AIDS,
cancer, the World Health Organization, the Rockefeller Foundation, the World
Bank, and more.” Her evidence is primarily the fact that science hasn’t managed
to cure cancer yet; therefore (instead of even trying to consider to what extent and why that is the case)
there must be a conspiracy (you can see her spell out that point in an
interview with Kenneth and Dee Burke here).
Part of the reason for her troubles in Quebec was apparently the fact that she
refused to pay taxes as well, so as to avoid supporting the Medical Mafia. That
didn’t really fly with the courts.
Currently Lanctot provides diagnoses and treatments “with
her own hands” (no fancy unnatural
methods here), relying on her powers of intuitions and anecdotes and appeals to nature.
The reason “authorities forbid alternative medicine” (which they don’t) is “because
they are serving the industry, and the industry cannot make money with herbs,
vitamins,
and homeopathy”
(which is, of course, false; altmed is an enormous and extremely profitable
industry); “they cannot patent natural remedies” (also false). “That is why
they [the Zionists] push synthetics. They control medicine, and that is why
they are able to tell medical schools what they can and cannot teach,” rather
than because, you know, the absence of evidence – Lanctot’s intuitions and
anecdotes to the contrary. But the premise is the standard one: since she
cannot herself be wrong, everyone else must be in a conspiracy against her.
In fact, Lanctot has really expanded on the evidence thing: According to
Lanctot the whole idea of scientific evidence is a conspiracy instigated by
Rockefeller in 1910, the purpose of which was to eliminate the idea that one
can intuit the causes of disease (which worked so well for thousands of years).
Vaccines constitute one of the main issues. According to
Lanctot “vaccines are used to test biological weapons … I found that vaccines
are used to spread diseases. They are used for targeted genocides,” and “we are
actually changing our genetic code through vaccination. Years from now we’ll
know the biggest crime against humanity was vaccination.” Huh? What’s her
evidence or basis for that? Oh, that’s right. Her whale.to page, with further
quotes, is here.
Diagnosis: Hardcore crank and conspiracy theorist.
This is definitely one MD whose medical advice you'd want to be reluctant to take.
You were missing so many of the anti vaccine luminaries (and too many are not American) that I started a blog explicitly modeled on your excellent work:

Thanks for the inspiration.
I didn't see the link, did it work?

I found this blog and started to worry... so much ignorance on the web! Then I read your reply and I don't worry so much now. Thanks Brad, you made my day!
ReplyDeleteThe biggest loon is the person who has written this. Dr Lanctot speaks the truth! If only it weren't true, but sadly it is.
ReplyDeleteDo you ever do hit pieces on CDC, FDA, pharma loons or is this only reserved for those outside the medical model?
ReplyDeleteI see the creators of this BS have nowhere to apply their time. Maybe they can actually research the vaccines. Just a friendly suggestion.
ReplyDeleteyou're the ones that are BAT SHIT CRAZY
ReplyDeletePathetic article.
