Not surprising from a 'doctor' who claims a healthy diet prevents STDs and diagnoses illnesses with Tarot cards.

Doctor is a term that gets thrown around too loosely and often without scrutiny.

Be sure to always do a quick google to see if they are legit or not. (Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz)

She was a medical doctor (ob/gyn) for 20+ years.

This is who she is

> Northrup herself expounded on a vaccine conspiracy in a widely circulated video interview apparently recorded in October 2020, in which she claimed COVID-19 vaccines would change people’s DNA and infiltrate their bodies with tiny “nanoparticle” robots with two-way 5G antennas. “They have the ability to take your biometric data – not only your vaccine record, but your breathing, your heart rate, your activity, sexual activity, these drugs that you’re taking, where you travel – all of that and then take that data and store it in the cloud,” she said. This information, she said, would then be paired with a barcode that would “connect us to cryptocurrency, so that would become literally slaves to the system.”

> “Once those nanoparticles go in, there’s no detoxing from them, there’s no getting them out of there,” Northrup continued. “They combine with your DNA and you are suddenly programmable, and with the proposed 5G networks the body would be an antenna where you could be controlled from outside of yourself.”

She's a dangerous person. My anti-vax aunt sent me links to this woman's content.

This is mental illness.

This is crazy and apparently so is she!

I read her book years ago. There were parts that I liked. She has gone completely off the rails, and apparently has followers. She is scary now.

Then what the hell happened? Lead paint? Lives under power lines? Co2 leak?

100% sounds like a precursor to paranoid schizophrenia

First time I've heard someone so nonchalantly profess their desire to bomb a children's hospital. I hope her mental illness doesn't lead to violence and hope she isn't actually allowed inside the building anymore.

Way back when I used to admire her for her work with women. I don’t know what happened

Her license to practice should, at the very least, be reviewed.

Attention and money are usually in the mix.

She allowed it to expire in 2015

A family member sent me a link to her Internet, rantings, and what I noticed was that she was drinking a dark purple liquid from a wine glass the whole time she was blabbering on and on about who knows what, and I thought looks like an alcoholic to me And I really don’t pay much attention to the rantings of alcoholics and drug addicts

Early onset dementia? I mean to go from 8 years of learning about science and medicine to spouting shit about nano machines and 5g.

That is not the action of a sane human.

> I don’t know what happened

Mental illness happened.

What’s a gradnade?

I think it’s the red stuff we used to put in Zima back in the 90s. 😉

🤣🤣. Grenadine?

Doctor Oz is actually one the best heart surgeons in the nation. That's what makes his bullshit so dangerous.

Practicing doctor? I can’t imagine

But he’s got an undergrad in biology from Harvard, received his MD and an MBA from UPenn

Can’t speak to his proficiency as a surgeon but uh, dude is definitely a doctor legally speaking lol

Edit: got curious to see if he was practicing or not, he was vice chair of surgery at Columbia until he started his political career, make of that what you want. I can’t imagine you make it on the surgical board at Columbia by being a shitty surgeon regardless of the dumb shit you say on daytime TV and how obnoxious you are in front of a camera

Sounds like she has a 3-pack-a-day voice.

Or it is the action of a sane human, but one's who's gone far down the far-right-wing rabbit hole and wants in on the grift.

Right-wing conspiratorial nonsense happened, she went down the rabbit hole, and now she wants in on the grift.

If someone is controlling me, I sure wish they'd do a better job. Like, throw my ass on the treadmill, ffs.

He ceased being a doctor as soon as he started promoting and selling quack health products to gullible viewers.

He used the trust given to the profession to rob millions using false claims. Truly a despicable man.

That wasn’t the response we requested. Hold please, fine tuning our connection.

That's really f'd up. Is this a crime? Terror threat, perhaps? Seems like it should be investigated, and at least a restraining order to keep her a grenade's throw away from everyone.

This is some incredibly unhinged logic. This woman needs help and a good slap of reality.

Yeah, he ceased being a doctor...and then he ran for a government position.

Governor.

In the Republican party.

And he lost.

The conspirituality podcast has done some episodes on this crazy, informative and frightening the levels of insanity.

She was my doctor decades ago. It makes me so sad to see her like this. Back then she was wonderful with women's healthcare. Her book was helpful to so many people. Eventually I started seeing someone else in her practice. She was too busy with book tours, PBS specials etc, to practice on a regular basis.

When she started to go off the rails, it was terrifying. Like an invasion of the body snatchers scenario.

People need to stop pairing actsylly crazy people with legitimate medical issues like dementia, schizophrenia, mental illnesses bc it’s saying “dementia is bad” instead of “she’s just a wacky loon”

It’s not mental illness. Stop pairing mental illness with these right wing loons. She’s just wacky af. Saying she’s mentally ill is classing mentally ill peope in this lower class group and not offering any support to those who need it.

She’s just a crazy woamn

Right wing nonsense not mental illness. People with actual mental illness need medical help. Comparing her to medical issues is offensive and doesn’t solve the greater problem.

If anyone is going at Maine Med for anything, they should be going after them for taking away paid leaves from nurses🙄

Whoooooo

Drug induced psychosis. I seriously think there was some kind of designer rage drug slipped into their ketracel white supply.

Bunch of people been arrested for making such threats down in Boston

a grenade with an M.D.

🤣🤣

Sounds like an iPhone paired with an Apple Watch. Bet she’s got both of those though.

I've met her once or twice. She's... certainly something.

She's a legitimately crazy person.

She's old enough that lead poisoning is probably a factor. Honestly, anyone over 50 who grew up in the US has some level of conative impairment from lead.

But this looks more like untreated mental illness.

How can a legitimately insane person like this claim to be a doctor? Unbelievable

If being controlled meant I would get out of bed, do normal human adult things and get to work on time then sign me up. All I need is a day or three to myself

She was an ob/gyn for 20 years before …. this.

Damn, I hope she was at least a real doctor then and only went completely insane after the 5G network activated the dormant nanoparticles in her brain!

Mentally illness is a spectrum, and although wacky af isn't a recognized diagnosis (yet) she can still have a mental illness. It doesn't mean all mentally ill people are insane like she is though! Paranoid delusions are definitely a sign of unchecked mental illness and I wish she could accept the help she needs

Wait for real?

True! Psychosis I think?

Unfortunately I'm not an expert, just someone dealing with their own mental illnesses and entering EMS/medical fields so I have only basic knowledge

Yep, trying to claim its “because it wasnt in the union contract” but past practice stands, they didnt even try to bargain with the nurses before taking away paid military, bereavement, and the 4 weeks of paid parental leave they were previously offering. Theyre doing some highly illegal and shady stuff.

It can be both. In my experience, people with MI are more gentle than average even if they have a hard time connecting with others. But there are some bad apples too and that's what I'd focus on here.

Like, she's choosing to say violent and hurtful things. It doesn't help that delusions make it easier for her to believe she's right, but they're certainly don't help.
