In recent years, particularly as a reaction to the COVID-19 lockdowns, some of you may have come to notice Dr. Bryan Ardis. He’s a retired chiropractor and nutritionist; make of that what you will.
He’s charismatic and offers a really strong counter to the lies of the establishment in clear terms that most laymen can follow. He’s a very popular face in interviews. He appears to be honorable, in that he admits to his mistakes and offers corrections.
I cannot vouch for his medical advice; I’ve not felt much need for the remedies he suggests. I avoided the vaccines when they were proposed for the simple reason that I oppose most vaccines. I don’t trust the mainstream medical system on that issue in particular. I’m glad there are people like him able to get the attention of at least some.
But there’s something that really bothers me about Dr. Ardis. I’m not in a position to comment on his medical advice, but there’s something very dirty that clings to that man. He’s being used for evil by a lot of hucksters. That doesn’t mean he’s a bad guy, but my heart sounds a note of caution whenever his name appears.
One example: Someone I never heard of has recorded an interview with Ardis and posted it on a website. Once that link was shared among the email activists, the guy who runs the site began using the link to hijack browsers. Not in the sense of malware, but the bait-n-switch of automatically replacing that page with another that offers a bunch of overpriced supplements of questionable quality. You can no longer watch the interview with Ardis.
That’s just a sample of the kind of crap that follows Ardis everywhere he shows up on the Net. It may not always be that extreme, but his videos often show up on pages cluttered with scammy advertising. I feel like I’m back in the early days of the Net when the most repulsive porn advertisements were hijacking browsers that weren’t protected.
What bothers me even more is that Dr. Ardis never seems to notice how his message is being abused like this. You can find him all over, and he seems too willing to be used by these hucksters. If he’s a good guy, he’s not a very savvy one. Then again, his own website is extremely pushy about selling his skin blemish remedies.
I’ve lost all interest in whatever Dr. Ardis has to say.
