Med Beds For All
Med Beds have always sold hope. They were often billed as the technology of the Not-So-Secret Secret Space program, which could heal broken bones, wounded super soldiers, and almost anything imaginable. Randy Cramer tried to popularize them by announcing plans to bring the tech to earth. He only needed $70,000 to start designing them, but GoFundMe deleted his pitches and he never raised the money.
Others took shortcuts and used tanning beds as a prop for psychic healing. “Multidimensional Coach” Sarah Adams, for instance, promoted “energetic med beds” that could heal body, mind, and soul.
Nobody can quite agree what a med bed is. If you are in a hurry for them to come, Tesla Bio Healing is an example that does not claim secret space force tech. It asks if you are looking for an med bed. Then, for only $11,000 apiece (4 is optimal), it sells a modern canister that “delivers 100x the regenerative power of our standard Biophotonizer.” It offers pure biophoton life-force energy. “Aging slows, recovery accelerates, and vitality thrives” but of course it makes no medical claims.
It sounds sciency, but one woman opened up a container and wrote that she received a bag of cement. It is not surprising that Tesla (not associated with Musk) has been warned in the past about promoting med beds.
Med beds were largely in the realm of Q-Anon conspiracy theories until the president posted something that nobody understood. Who foresaw that Donald Trump would revitalize interest in med beds by using an AI generated video to promote them?
The video, which was soon deleted, resembled a Fox News segment with Lara Trump. It promised that “Every American will soon receive their own medbed card. With it, you’ll have guaranteed access to our new hospitals led by the top doctors in the nation, equipped with the most advanced technology in the world.”
It was to be the beginning of an new era. “These facilities are safe, modern and designed to restore every citizen to full health and strength.” If true, it would have gone way beyond what Cramer had sought. Trump need not have tried to duplicate the tech, he had it and simply could release it.
Trump soon went silent on it. The real question, though, is why he posted the video. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt had a few days to think about it, but she could only say that Trump had the right to do it. “I think the president saw the video and posted it, and then took it down,” she stated. “And he has the right to do that. It’s his social media. He’s incredibly transparent, as you all know. … He likes to share memes, he likes to share videos. … I think it’s quite refreshing that we have a president who is so open and honest.”
No one disputed his right to post it, but many wondered about his state of mind. At a time when Trump continues to resist releasing all that is known about Epstein — and has never released his tax returns — he is hardly the example of a transparent, open, and honest public official.
Some believed Trump wanted to shift the focus from Epstein, but to Med Beds? Some on the fringe believed that it was a way to prepare the public that med beds are coming. Others think the billionaires stopped it. But the news media expects Trump to say bizarre things and the story appears to be almost forgotten.
Although Trump’s post brought comic relief to some, its effects might be most felt among those who believe. As Trump cuts back on health care and research, the post becomes all the more cruel.
Mother Jones quoted one who wrote, “I know in my heart that med beds are real. I’ve been hoping and at the same time thinking it’s too good to be true, but Trump is giving me back my hope.” From the days when medicine show hustlers sold snake oil, people have traded reality for hope. It is a losing bargain, but it’s hard to argue against hope. Even if that hope could cost your life.
As a whole, med beds seem like a socialist dream. Get a med bed card and the government will heal you. Yet people are trained to be afraid of socialism, without even knowing what it is, and they watch videos promoted by Trump hoping to find a secret message. They end up being manipulated even as the hope for a med bed is dangled in front of them.
The Med Beds Challenge
Med Beds will undoubtedly be promoted among those who sell false hope, but as an open minded person with documented health issues I am prepared to issue the Med Bed Challenge. Demonstrate the power of your bed by healing me. Should it work I will release all my medical records to demonstrate its effectiveness. Maybe I’ll even throw In the cost of my current health care. But if it does not work, stop advertising what it can do.
