The War on Dr. Reese: Indirect Threats Explained

Speaking Truth in the Face of Threats

When you speak out against powerful industries, you can expect backlash. For Dr. Kevin Reese, exposing the flaws of what he calls the “medical monopoly” has often led to both direct and indirect threats.

Direct vs. Indirect Threats

Some threats come in shocking, unmistakable forms—letters in the mail filled with violent words or warnings meant to intimidate. Others appear less direct, like strangers on social media posting about how they’d “love to see someone put a bullet” in him. While the tone varies, the underlying message is clear: speaking truth to power comes at a cost.

Staying Grounded Amid the Storm

Despite this hostility, Dr. Reese remains grounded through what he calls his “cheat code”: mindfulness. With over 15 years of dedicated practice, mindfulness has given him the ability to stay calm, centered, and resilient even when facing threats to his life.

He openly admits that before returning to the public eye, he asked himself a sobering question: “Are you ready to die for this?” His answer was yes, because he knew the work he was doing—challenging entrenched systems—was bound to rattle cages.

The Bigger Picture

Critics often assume his message is anti-doctor, but that’s not the case. Dr. Reese is quick to clarify that while many good people work in medicine, the system itself is broken. The issue is structural—a medical monopoly that prioritizes profit over true healing. Calling this out naturally attracts resistance from those who benefit most from the current system.

The Cost of Truth-Telling

Dr. Reese’s decision to keep speaking out has personal consequences too. He admits that being in a relationship means carrying extra “baggage.” Even something as simple as going to a public event requires him to consider whether he’ll need security. This isn’t normal work—it’s the reality of challenging some of the world’s most powerful interests.

Still, his commitment to truth remains unshaken. For him, silence is not an option. The message must be shared: there is another way to health, and it doesn’t have to come through the monopoly.
