Redefining Trust in Science: The Journal of Independent Medicine

“Most medical journals are literally held hostage by Big Pharma because they are the ones that fund them.”

These are the powerful words of Dr. Joseph Varon, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Independent Medicine. Born from frustration over the corruption in mainstream medical publishing, the Journal of Independent Medicine exists to reclaim integrity, transparency, and scientific independence.

While medical professionals are forced to confront the challenges of corrupted science firsthand, the ripple effects reach us all. Every patient misled, every policy misinformed, every life lost—these are the true costs of compromised medical research. Trust in science has been shattered, and with it, the very foundation of public health.

Most of us couldn’t forget when Anthony Fauci proclaimed himself the “arbiter of science” without presenting the data. Pfizer sought to bury its vaccine data for 75 years. Mainstream journals repeatedly published studies declaring the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines—often without rigorous, transparent scientific research. It wasn’t just misleading; it was a betrayal. The world deserves better.

Why We Created Our Own Medical Journal

For years, critical voices were silenced, and valid scientific inquiries were labeled as misinformation. There became two totally separated streams of science, known as:

• Science, where evidence leads the narrative, and;
• “Approved” Science, where the narrative shapes the evidence.

This schism has corrupted the public’s trust in science. When “approved” science serves the interests of powerful stakeholders, truth becomes negotiable, and scientific research is reduced to propaganda. The consequences are profound—misinformed public health policies and lives ruined, or worse.

The Journal of Independent Medicine was created to bridge this divide. It is a sanctuary for truth—a peer-reviewed medical journal where research is evaluated solely on its scientific merit, free from conflicts of interest and immune to outside influence. Here, integrity is non-negotiable, and scientific inquiry is pursued without fear or favor.

“We don’t have Big Pharma or any major industry telling us what we can publish. None of the studies are funded by pharma.” — Dr. Joseph Varon

Restoring Integrity Through Radical Transparency

The Journal of Independent Medicine stands apart by demanding complete transparency. Every study’s raw data must be fully accessible for verification, ensuring that scientific claims are backed by verifiable evidence. This rigorous approach means that all aspects of research—sample sizes, statistical analyses, and clinical outcomes—are subject to thorough scrutiny.

We’ve learned, especially over the past five years, that mainstream medical journals are beholden to powerful interests. They selectively publish research that aligns with narratives shaped by their funders, creating a climate of censorship that stifles diverse scientific inquiry. The Journal of Independent Medicine intends to breaks this cycle.

We provide a platform for rigorous inquiry into topics like:

• Alternative therapies and repurposed drugs – Investigating potential treatments beyond conventional approaches.
• Medical ethics and healthcare policies – Examining the ethical and societal implications of public health decisions.
• Underreported findings and emerging perspectives – Giving voice to research that challenges prevailing narratives.

Our First Issue: Unfiltered, Uncensored, Unbiased

The inaugural issue features groundbreaking scientific research, including:

• The hidden mental health crisis among doctors
• The evolving role of Ivermectin in therapeutic medicine
• A retrospective study on COVID-19 patient outcomes
• The first in a series on Traditional Chinese Medicine
• Evidence-based repurposed medicine and constitutional rights in healthcare

The inaugural issue of the Journal of Independent Medicine will be offered at no cost—it is 100% donation funded and will remain so for the first year of publication.

Restoring Public Trust in Science and Public Health

The Journal of Independent Medicine is a sanctuary for Honest Medicine™ and a fortress against the powers that aim to control knowledge for profit. Dr. Varon explains, “Our goal is simple but profound—restore trust in medical research by publishing truthful, high-quality science that is free from corporate and political influence.”

This is more than a journal. It is a stand against corruption, a commitment to integrity, and a promise to the world: Science is not for sale.
