ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY
Bram Kanstein and Dr. Ahmad Ammous explore the devastating impact of fiat money on modern medicine. From his disillusionment as a young doctor to his upcoming book Fiat Medicine, Ammous explains how centralized incentives turned healthcare into a system that treats symptoms, not causes. We cover the Flexner Report, diet and light as root causes of health, how blue light wrecks biology, why fiat money captured medicine, and how Bitcoin can unlock a free-market future of healing and sovereignty. If you’ve ever felt modern healthcare is designed to keep you sick, this conversation is for you.
