Dear Members of the Medical Licensing Board of the State of New South Wales
Greetings from New Hampshire, USA
My late husband George Maxwell, MD (Edinburgh) was the founding professor of Child Health (later called Paediatrics) at the University of Adelaide.
He was a particularly good man and he understood most of his colleagues to be particularly good. Since George was quite the discerner of human nature, I am inclined to think he judged the situation correctly. Thus, I deduce there must have been a special atmosphere in the profession that imparted high ideals.
He retired in 1988 and I have no idea what happened after that but surely the magic has gone. How do I know? I know because so many doctors have failed to help abused children and have gone along with an outrageous trend whereby the Family Courts of Australia hand the child over to a sex-abusing parent.
Physicians are aware of the problem. They twiddle their thumbs and say nothing. But finally one bloke speaks out. Russell Pridgeon. And what do you do? You revoke his medical license.
Makes me think that could be where the magic went. Perhaps it is you, or at least your guiding force, the Australian Medical Association, that has caused the high ideals to be trampled underfoot.
How many doctors today would have patients say this about them (I am copying from the GoFundMe page for Dr Pridgeon; he is now under arrest):
We will be behind you the whole way. Thank you for taking such good care of our babies over the years. — Amanda, Mark, Myla & Aprille Richards.
You 2 had the guts and courage to do what most of us think or talk about. Dr Pridgeon has been my doctor for the last 16+ years. He is caring and a very dedicated doctor. — Robyn.
Dr Pridgeon We think the world of you and support you. ❤️ — The Vereykens
Priviledge to be a patient of this amazing man. These are the people you want in your corner when you can’t rely on the system of this Country. — S Moran
Dr Pridgeon is a wonderful doctor and a most compassionate human being. He did what he believed to be right. The Family Law Courts fail children everyday yet predators walk free. — Christine Lavallee
Dr Pridgeon has always supported and cared for me. — Lynn Firkin
Russell Pridgeon is a man of integrity and it is typical of him to have risked himself to help others in need. — Gus Ferguson
He has helped my family a lot over the years. Great doctor and my nan (Dawn) is now devastated that she will have to see someone else. — Hylda
No Better in America
Please don’t think I am picking on Australia exclusively. The land of the free and the home of the brave, so-called, is not winning any medals either. Doctors here suppress cures for cancer, kowtow to Big Pharma, and dispense the most wicked vaccinations with no apparent twinge of conscience! Ty Bollinger has collected many interviews with good doctors about those issues.
Also in the US, layman Bill Windsor has collected many stories of “medical kidnap.” (and he went to prison for his trouble). In one of his cases, the Mom escaped to Canada so her 6 -year-old son Vincent would not have to take Ritalin, but the FBI went to Canada and grabbed him. She has never been able to find Vincent again.
This is a new threat in Australia – not the medical aspect, but the chance that a stranger, who has been given temporary guardianship of a “disputed” child, will by the flick of a judge’s pen, be made the permanent guardian, and contact may be lost.
In Adelaide, Gumshoe is trying to help “Darlene” get past this problem for her daughter “Ellen.” (Code names reflect the gag order in section 121 of the Family Law Act).
Spend a minute and a half on this video (it is not a medical-kidnap case, but shows what a kid is feeling when the ties that bind are broken):
Are we living in odd times or what?
I say to doctors: bring back the George Maxwells! Bring back the magic!

On Wednesday Nov 7 at 5.30pm NY time, which is Thursday 9.30am in Sydney, Ty Bollinger is doing a call-in show for people with cancer.
You have to sign up to get the password to watch it.
I have not seen him do a call-in show, but I found his vax show very responsible and loaded with good doctors being interviewed.
Got to start somewhere.
Newcomers to Gumshoe, please search this site for Coley’s Dramatic Cure, and/or my Townsend Letter which Dee reprinted here (re the many cures for cancer).
We had to take a Gumshoe-holiday from the Coley series as Dee is doing “the mother run” every day to the tune of HUNDREDS of emails.
Also please tell your nighbors about Pridgeon. There is no way any of these problems will just “turn around.” The only chance of a change is widespread awareness and resistance.
And excuse me again for giving Russell Pridgeon the spotlight over the several others who have been served with frightening and very expensive notices from “government.”
Far be it from me to say that goodness runs in families, but I did happen to look up Russell’ s brother John Pridgeon MD in Botswana. This was posted on his website in 2010:
“My medical philosphy is to treat diseases at a causal level – why try to fill your bath before putting in the plug, right? – and the many modalities of therapy that I use are directed specifically at the cause of symptoms and diseases. I have found that once you have dealt with the many food and chemical intolerances, once you have removed toxic heavy metals, once cellular oxygenation is optimal, once the proper hormonal climate is restored, that people and their immune systems can then operate optimally. Common sense really. To cure is my aim, not to manage symptoms by smothering them with pain killers, cortisone and BS therapies.”
— Ah, BS therapies. Yes. It probably means Bone Structure.
Australia Crimes Act 1900, section 347:
“Every accessory after the fact to a serious indictable offence may be indicted, convicted, and sentenced as such accessory, either before, or together with, or after the trial of the principal offender, whether the principal offender has been previously tried or not, or is amenable to justice or not.”
I’m not referring to Pridgeon. I am referring to the thumb-twiddlers of the medical profesion. They are accessorizing the crimes of the fam-court, CPS, guardianship board, whatever.
Go, section 347!
I am a mother who had her child taken by doctors, simply because they wanted to cover their own mistakes. They live by the code CARE; cover arse retain employment. Doctors don’t care about anything anymore except themselves. Shame this brave dr (one of the very few good ones left) is now being persecuted. He can join the ever expanding club of parents who are falsely accused by doctors and medically kidnap children and ruin families without even giving it a second thought.
You left my story out, why is it that my children don’t matter or my story? My comments. Why doesn’t anyone care? I would love an explaination of what being said about me.
Kath, I didn’t just leave your story out. I left 7 billion stories out. i was writing about only one person on the planet.
If your Comment was cancelled, it was not by me. (I do not have access to the Gumshoe website.) The other day Paul said his comment disappeared. That happens to me sometimes — my comment gets a “404” screen, but that is not done by Gumshoe. It must be done by one’s own server. Dee would never block me (would you, Dee?)
Dee is extremely reluctant to block anyone — she once let a certain article about 9-11 get 220 comments, mostly from one annoying troll. Big waste of everyone’s time. But Dee keeps saying she is ex-South Africa and knows what censorship is all about.
I disagree with Dee on the policy of “let everyone do their thing.” My policy would be ‘Let anyone do his/her thing if they can add to the subject matter — ESPECIALLY in contravention of what Maxwell or McLachlan have published.
Both sides of the story is great, and it will be a real triumph for Gumshoe if we can get it. You may note I have recently said I accept the research that says “no gas cambers existed at Auschwitz.” But I’d recant that in a minute if someone would show me persuasive evidence to the contrary.
in all my ballyhoo about the Boston Marathon on this site I have never had the pleasure of receiving major corrections. Send ’em in, boys! Hey, Feebs, did I misreport? Trash me, trash me.
Anyway, Kath, if Dee did actually block you it must be that you reeeally asked for it.
One more note: there are things Gumshoe can’t say, owing to libel laws.
I am part of the story Mary. My pre natal and post natal were at Duke St. I am not “blocked” nor have i done anything to be. Your comments came from Dr Pridgeons sons post, I posted there too.But ultimately the point is that my children and my story matters as much as the next person, I find your reply agressive and rude actually, there are thousands of us who have spent the last decade on sm raising awareness and alerting others that they are not alone. I have also been working to raise awareness of this story and your blog, so what are you on about? Most people ride the wave rather than get dumped.
I would have loved to have met and known your George, Mary. What an incredible man! I can only imagine what he would have to say about this situation with Russell, and I’m sure he’d be patting him on the back & encouraging all other medical professionals to stand together against this deliberate child harming trafficking ring.
We have more atrocities. Here in Adelaide we have another life savior who is currently being persecuted through the courts. Her crime? To give home made medicinal cannabis to those in need. She has helped many many people with her magic herbal oils. She has done this selflessly, free of charge. How many people can say that they have saved many lives? Jenny Hallam has!!! Since her charges and multiple court appearances, it is shocking to learn that people have died because they haven’t been able to source their ‘medicine’. Jenny has spent years educating people throughout Australia on the benefits of medicinal cannabis at numerous expos, conferences etc. It is a total disgrace that she faces jail time for saving lives. She’s another true hero.
Another disgrace in regards to child protection, there is a little 6 year old boy that was removed from his loving mother’s care. This mother realised that Big Pharma medications were NOT effective at stopping his epileptic seizures…….he was getting sicker. After much research she learned about and successfully started treating him with medicinal cannabis. What a turn around! This magic herb not only saved this boy’s life but it brought him a quality of life that he had never had previously. Appallingly this boy was removed from his family (his young sister frets for him too) and placed into a foster care system. Imagine how frightened he must have been & we can presume that he is back having uncontrollable seizures? Of course this mother has discovered a very broken (or should we say corrupt) system that has no intention on returning her son. After all this protective mother has been forced to spend thousands of dollars in legal fees with no end in sight!
She too has been gagged (just as our family court protective parents have).
It appears that our Government has found a way to make millions of dollars, by abusing our children and watching the protective parents struggle to bring them home.
What a disgraceful country! It’s becoming very clear who the real criminals are!
