“Cornichon shortage leaves British sandwich shops in a pickle. Shortage of pickled mini-cucumbers has caused Pret a Manger to pull its jambon beurre from shelves”
But the Guardian doing their homework, asked around at other businesses and found that there doesn’t seem to be a general shortage, only for Pret. And again, from my own experience with Pret’s bulls!t, there must be a different reason. Pret ALWAYS cite “supplier issues” no matter what the real reason is, as also shown in below detailed issue with hot chocolate powder not available and other supposed “supplier issues”.
Further quote in the Guardian article:
“Supermarkets have not noticed supply problems of cornichons yet. A Waitrose spokesperson said they were still fully stocked.”
.
.
Like I explain below, having run shops in Pret, when there was an issue with food, be it allergy issues where a product or food item was mislabeled either by the factory or by staff etc. we had to take the item off the shelf quickly and were always told to tell customers who enquired that we have “supplier issues”. Always blame delivery and the supplier chain, and never take responsibility for mislabeling or other issues.
Remember that Pret did NOTHING after TWO customers died and multiple people got injured. They only reacted once this became public.
People on various social media platforms confirm that ONLY Pret have shortage of cornichons. Nowhere eles in the UK, not even in France, Germany etc. is there a shortage.
.

etc. etc. etc.
An old post from a few years ago about hot chocolate powder “supplier Issues” which turned out to not be a supplier issue, as usual.
Pret’s “Hot Chocolat Saga” (older post).
Customers have been flocking to Twitter to express their outrage that there hasn’t been any Hot Chocolate available in all Pret’s (except for the odd chocolate sprinkles on the cappuccino!)
As usual Pret gives the “supplier” version as a reason why a product has not been available. I worked at Pret and when we had “issues” we were always instructed to say that it is due to a delivery issue.
Trouble is, the truth has a way to always sieve through, and an honest Team Member accidentally spilled the beans on the real reason why the choc powder isn’t available:
So, this Pret Twitter staff member was taken off-guard and even confirmed that they have a “recipe” issue, but never denied that there was dairy in the hot chocolate powder. Suddenly it’s not a supplier issue, but a change of recipe without denying the dairy content.
Why blame the supplier when Pret can just admit that they’re changing the recipe to non-dairy? Simple, a quick update or reminder that Pret is facing trial on 6th December 2019 in Bath after the second customer Celia Marsh, mother of five, died after eating traces of dairy in what she thought was a non-dairy wrap.
Mainstream media keeps quiet about the Hot Chocolate issue and only “report” on issues like new vegan options, or the Jambon Beurre that has been discontinued, and then re-introduced after a public “outcry”. Isn’t it interesting that the media has not mentioned the Hot Chocolate powder issue, even though the public is much louder about this? If you want to know the reality of Pret, you need to DIG and not swallow everything mainstream media (that is in Pret’s pocket) is dishing out.
So, here are only a few of the many of same responses that Pret keeps telling the public, copy and paste replies to try and keep the dairy issue silent:
Also, when products disappear for a few weeks, pay attention to the SIZE of the product when it returns under the “new improved recipe” slogan. Soups return watered down, brownies etc. return smaller etc. etc.
I write mainly on Pret staff issues and the bullying environment the public is unaware of.

And detailed examples of what staff say about the bullying environment in Pret, including Head Office. A customer recently witnessed first hand how staff are bullied:
for the most part you are oblivious and unaware of how Pret A Manger treat their staff. There’s a reason why Pret and its leadership have such poor scores on Glassdoor & Co where staff dare to speak out in anonymity. And the legacy Clive Schlee, now former CEO, leaves behind I can only underline with my own experience I share in the audio player at the bottom of this page.
Pret has been very successful in fooling the public and luring employees in with incentives and a smiley facade. But all I can say if you don’t want to believe the reality of Pret, is that if something looks too good to be true in a multi-billion pound company, especially now under private equity, TAKE A CLOSER LOOK!

I worked at Pret A Manger and survived systemic workplace bullying during bereavement that involved HR, the top leadership, HQ and even the now “retired” former CEO Clive Schlee.

I always listen to my favourite series Desert Island Discs. I listen to them all, even if I don’t know the person interviewed and even if I don’t like some of them. But you always learn something. And I love to learn what makes people tick.
A recent episode in February 2026 was with Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch. And as usual, I was NOT disappointed at WHY I don’t like certain people in politics or whatever field they work in. Apart from her “arguments” at PMQs often being weak and distractions, I don’t believe in a political party being led by and/or occupied with mainly rich people. I think it’s obvious in our current global climate why this isn’t a good idea.
Before Badenoch says the following, she shares how she went into politics and the Tory Party for “fun”.
At around 29:10 into her Desert Island interview, quote:
.
“I joined the Conservative Party for the ‘party’ aspect of it, socialising, drinks, hanging out with other young people…” – Kemi Badenoch
.
Audio snippet:
.
.
Yeah, that’s what rich, entitled kids do. They are bored, they have everything. They don’t need to fight for anything except to conquer boredom and make more money. Let them join political parties for fun. THAT will be their legacy.
I sent this Badenoch quote to my local MP who happens to be Labour, to hopefully pass this Desert Island Discs episode on to Sir Keir Starmer for PMQs.
Dear fun loving, arrogant, rich kid Kemi Badenoch, I couldn’t bury my mum during 2. lockdown while the Conservative Party full of rich and entitled people partied. You found your niche! Have fun while it lasts!
Kemi Badenoch also comes from a rich family, and her joining the Tories for “fun”, for socialising and drinks is all I need to hear from a party “leader” to know another reason this party should never be in power again.
Also little reminder on what Rich, sorry Rishi Sunak said in the open: Taking funding from deprived areas and pouring it into wealthy areas. Rich politicians by the book.
Here’s the REVERSE Robin Hood speaking: Take from the poor, give to the rich.
“… We inherited a bunch of formulas from the Labour Party that shoved all the funding into deprived urban areas, … that needed to be undone. I started the work of undoing that.” – Rishi Sunak
.
.
And I won’t give this fathermucker Boris Clownson any room here. This guy has blood on his hands. Never forget what he said and did! “Let the bodies pile high“. I couldn’t bury my mum you piece of sh!t.
Labour isn’t perfect, no political party is. But I see laws changing again for the good of working people, which in turn also will bring stability to the economy. If working people are mistreated, the greater good of all people suffers too. Get this into your entitled heads!
This has nothing to do with “communism”. Communism is evil, and to label anyone who has the good of the bottom line in mind being a “communist”, this is just the same old, same old bullsh!t talk and fear mongering.
Anyone who is for the oppression of working people deserves their food to be spat into by these people who TOUCH YOUR FOOD!
No, I do NOT advocate for workers to spit into people’s food, I say this to SHAKE entitled people’s head! When corporations, enabled by politics and lobbyists are pushing for fast money, partly also via oppressing workers, you WILL get issues that will hurt people, no matter if you’re rich or poor.
I survived the horrible laws the Tories implemented for the benefit of corporations. Working in Pret almost killed me. And anyone who blames immigrants and low-wage workers and people on benefits who were broken by this system, DESERVES what they get from these politicians and companies. You vote for this.

I will not look for any further of this doctor’s lies after this, as he seems to WANT a response and get confirmation from his mainly female sycophantic followers. I believe he wants my response to have a reason to get me shut down. Be my guest Mr. Cormier, I know your type.
Upfront, as a woman who is belittled or threatened at times for speaking out bluntly, I reserve the right to speak so blunt. No-one would question a man for speaking blunt, or even being aggressive, but when women speak straight forward, ESPECIALLY about their health and bodies, all hell breaks loose! So, take a chill pill and get over yourself! I survived too much to take any more bullsh!t from cowards.
I wrote a few days ago that he is a typical male entitled doctor as he writes with such arrogance, but also seems to make stuff up as he goes. After finding that he lied about me after blocking me, hoping I don’t see his lies and not call him out. I did call him out, my website statistics went through the roof, and he now tries crisis management by covering a lie with another lie. Also, very typical for cowardly people like him who is used to get admiration from mainly females. Women are raised to please men, and he knows how to harvest this.
And when a woman questions him about WOMEN issues like mammogram vs. alternative breast screening, this guy has a meltdown and runs to his female cult following, so they can tell him how right he is and how wrong the other person, especially a woman is. A classic male doctor who loves to discredit women while at the same time get his ego scratched by women online.
And not only that, he then involves his wife and 2 daughters in the situation. This reminds me of cowardly, narcissistic men who act like this.
For recap, my other post about him which had him in a meltdown running to all the mamas for help:
There seem to be some classical narcissistic traits here. I explain below and also recommend searching Dr. Ramani on YouTube. She is an expert in narcissism.
His update and supposedly last post to get my response, I only quote a few key issues, the full text can be read via below link. I’m sure there will be more “updates”, as this type of person can’t let go. I screenshot his comment in case he edits or deletes.
“So to put an end to this fiasco, and to try and enjoy Easter with my family, I will give a final update on the hate piece that was written about me yesterday.
Turns out this person is not a physician at all. I was wrong. The end of the article links to a doctor. And I thought this was her. But I guess it’s not.” End of quote.
He covers a lie with another lie. He wrote that he did some digging on my blog and from day one knows that I am a woman. The doctor he refers to is a man that I linked to at the end of my other post.
This guy isn’t only a liar doing crisis management now, he’s a bad liar at that.
His other lie was, “A deeper look at her page revealed affiliate links, parasite cleanses, pectin supplements promoted for breast cancer prevention, and “radiation protocols” that ultimately directed people toward supplements like melatonin.
So I blocked her.” End of quote.
He gets into this a little further down. In my opinion, if this is a real doctor, he is not a doctor I would seek out. I’d rather drive 100 miles further for a good doctor who respects women and their push back on things. And I don’t care if he gets all the thousands of his sycophantic followers to get me shut down, I have now reported him to his clinical address that he shows on his Facebook.
Further quote of his supposed last update:
“I never thought someone outside the healthcare space would have such interest in making claims about mammograms without properly explaining their references.” End of quote.
You never think that because you are used to women obeying and blindly following everything. I am a woman, that is the first and most important reference. I do my own research and at times get a second and even third opinion from different doctors. You are just not used to that Dr. Cormier.
He also keeps ignoring alternative breast screening that I linked to on YouTube and continues to fear monger women, who as usual fall for entitled male behaviour like this.
Further, quote:
“I should’ve known better than to engage.
I was wrong and the links I clicked were not hers as I assumed, but links of another physician that shares their opinion about mammograms.”
Here is a doctor who has STUDIED and READ a LOT of text and still has to read and research, and yet he claims that he assumed the YouTube links with THREE DIFFERENT people showing on the still images, one of which is male, where ME as a physician showing MY work. Again, such a bad liar! 😀
Didn’t you say, quote: “A deeper look at her page revealed …”? This guy twists things, covers his lies with other lies, how can even one woman fall for this guy? He stated very early that I am a woman, yet claims that he thought I was the doctor in the last link of alternative screening, who is a man. That’s the problem with lies, you have to keep on your toe what lie you told and how to cover it when exposed to be a liar.
It is VERY clear that he wants to discredit other doctors and fear manages women.
Further quote about the YouTube people I linked to, 2 of them are experienced doctors, quote:
“And these physicians were the ones who had affiliate links and supplements that are major red flags, but are not sold by the original creator of the article.” End of quote.
This is another lie, because there are no such links in what he talks about. He never provides links to his claims. Dr. Cormier just knows that most people DON’T RESEARCH what he says and don’t fact check!
In fact his initial reply to me after he blocked me and I replied via my Facebook page was that I supposedly have “Amazon” affiliated links. First of all, I not only DON’T have an Amazon account but 2. would never link to Amazon as I dislike this company for how they mistreat their workers. What does Amazon even have to do with anything. A doctor who lies so much and makes weird claims needs to get investigated.
Plus, he now discredits other doctors who explain in detail about alternatives to mammograms. This particular lady goes very detailed into at least 6 alternatives to mammogram, but Dr. Liar here doesn’t like that. So, he tells a new lie to cover the old lie after being called out for lying. And most women are too conditioned to fall for this.
.
.
But this male entitled doctor, Dr. Jules Cormier, seems hell-bend for women to have mammograms instead of looking for alternatives. I’d stay very very far away from this doctor.
Further, quote:
“I would’ve never thought that a simple post about recommending mammography would turn into someone trying to ruin my reputation.
But welcome to the Big Leagues I guess.”
First of all, you ruin your own reputation Dr. Cormier by lying and also by patronising women. And yes, the big league is the big wide world where women use their voices to push back and take control of their lives, health and bodies. You are just not used to it.
Further, quote:
“And if anyone interpreted my post as being condescending to women, which is mind boggling to me, I apologize.” End of quote.
Apologies only work if actions follow. I explain below under another of your sentences. I can tell the difference between a fake apology (to appear “humble”) and true introspection.
Further, quote.
“Those who know me, know me. And so having someone totally go haywire and going as far as writing an article about me calling me a liar and misogynistic really impacted me negatively. She actually totally ruined my day.” End of quote.
Aw yes, the victim card! If a man with an inflated ego gets his ego crushed, he first blocks, then goes on the attack lying, and finally he plays the victim. Classic!
I did not accuse you of misogyny, I made a general statement on medical misogyny that often starts small. But I do call you a liar, who is now covering lies with other lies. You just got caught and are now doing crisis management by the book. And how best to do it when having mainly female followers? Play the victim and involve family to get sympathy.
I write with women in mind, any woman, no matter if she knows you or not. The UK Government has done an investigation into medical misogyny, and many women have gone through stuff at the hands of their doctors. Most women though are still so intimidated to even realise when they get mistreated in the doctor’s practice, because like I mentioned several times now, women are raised, conditioned and indoctrinated to please men, cater to men, believe everything a man says. That is why you Dr. Cormier have such a meltdown, because you are not used to push back from women.
You SEEK the type of social media platform where you know “obedient” women gather. And many men seek the medical profession in the field of women, because men would not put up with half the bullsh!t women are taught to put up with.
Further quote, and HERE is where I add my comment I hinted on above under his “condescending” sentence. Quote:
“And if the person’s goal was to inflict pain, suffering and stress to me, my wife and my 2 daughters, she succeeded greatly.” End of quote.
It is VERY clear what he is trying to do.
.
.
Several things here:
This guy has the audacity to now involve his wife and two daughters. I mentioned before that he doesn’t have a leg to stand on, that’s why he runs to all his female followers to get his head stroked. If my husband would involve me and especially our children in any online beef, I’d have a very serious talk with him! No-one is talking about his wife and/or children, except him, to gather sympathy from female followers, and because he is a coward. .
To claim that I “inflict pain, suffering and stress” on him and also his family, that is a way for him to try and get me shut down. Like I said, be my guest, but I have now reported Dr. Jules Cormier to his medical practice and will continue to report him to appropriate bodies in Canada. If a doctor of 20 years claims to be “injured” so badly from online comments, he should not be in the medical field. I wouldn’t entrust my dog to him! .
In my opinion, this guy shows narcissistic traits. He hides behind his female followers, involves his wife and children, and then pretends to have inflicted pain and suffering from my posts. A classical narcissistic trick by the book. Again, I recommend Dr. Ramani on YouTube. It would be an eye-opener for many women, and also men who suffer under narcissistic women and men.
I also wonder with the amount of posts he writes, in 2 languages and rather long, is he actually a practising doctor? Or is he more interested in a social media presence to get his ego stroked, by mainly women?
Further quote: “I don’t recommend mammograms to cause pain to women, I do because our major medical organizations show a 22% reduction in breast cancer mortality.” End of quote.
If you really have the health and best for women in mind, you would NOT discredit the 3 YouTube people (2 of them doctors) that I linked in my other post, who explain about alternatives to mammograms. And without quoting any further, you write further that you are a doctor of 20 years. That is shocking, because if that is true, you act like someone who just graduated from medical school and sh!ts his pants when a woman pushes back on him. You have no courage whatsoever to address me yourself, but instead blocked me, and then when called out on your lies, you run to your female followers, and even worse involve your family, to stroke your little broken heart. Absolutely pathetic.
Further, quote:
“Yesterday I received a ton of private messages from people who care, and these meant a lot to me.” End of quote.
Of course they do. Because when you don’t have courage, despite working 20 years as a doctor, you will run to all your mainly female followers to stroke your broken ego you poor little fella!
Further, quote:
“I’ve dedicated my life to my work of practicing and teaching medicine, so knowing that someone is out there literally trying “to get me” kind of freaks me out.” End of quote.
Maybe you should see a therapist. And I mean this with all seriousness, not as a joke. If my doctor of 20 years was freaked out by an online comment from a woman and him then claiming she “inflicted pain and suffering to him and his family”, I’d change my doctor immediately. You should seriously consider seeing a therapist and also look at your manipulative communications. Many women fall for this, you just reached the wrong one. But keep trying.
Further, quote:
“Many of you have recommended that I don’t give this thing any oxygen, but my goal is still to be fair and honest and to right my wrongs.” End of quote.
Sounds great, but is it real? You claim to right wrongs, while above discrediting doctors I linked to and continue to fear monger your followers to not seek alternatives. You should get investigated Dr. Cormier.
Further, quote:
“This creator was not a physician. But simply someone who feels deeply about something that impacted her personally.
And unfortunately, I’m on the receiving end of her pain and hatred.” End of quote.
And here again, this 20 year-long doctor plays the victim card and accuses me of “hate”. There is neither hate nor love, as I don’t know you. But I do recognise bullsh!t miles away. And yours stinks.
Further, quote:
“Thanks to everyone who have supported me and my work of bringing lifestyle and preventive medicine to my small town.
I will try to calm down, meditate and focus on this day off work with my daughters that’s so important for my family and my own mental health.” End of quote.
Yes, do that. Again, I recommend seeing a therapist, because clearly you have quick meltdowns from online comments. And please leave your wife and children out of any online beef. That is not only NOT fair to your family, but shows how cowardly you respond to critique. Quite appalling frankly.
He also writes that he purposely doesn’t mention me, knowing very well that I may respond in his comment section. So much gaslighting from this guy. This would be a good case study into how manipulation of people works.
I end my quoting here now. The full text and all the sycophantic follower comments can be seen via above Facebook link.
To any other reader who thinks for themselves and doesn’t follow blindly what anyone, doctor or not, says, here some links again of alternatives to breast screening. There are even screenings where the woman doesn’t need to undress anymore.
So, to all women again, THINK for YOURSELF!
TRUST your body! TRUST YOURSELF!
Push back on anything no matter by whom the message is given if you don’t feel believed or heard!
Do your OWN research!
This is YOUR life, YOUR body, YOUR dignity!
Take control of it!

Dr. Craig Mortensen demonstrates on a balloon how bonkers it is what mammograms are created to do to women’s breasts. He also explains like the one above and below that mammograms aren’t as accurate as claimed. Spoiler alert, MRIs are the MOST accurate, therefore also the most expensive scans.
I recently had a MRI to the head and was thinking that if MRI is so precise to spot issues in the brain, it should be able to spot issues in breast tissue. And of course, there are MRIs for breast screening, but it’s the most expensive screening.
Little side-note, Canada, where Dr. Cormier is based, has a similar system of universal healthcare to the UK’s NHS service. So mammograms, which are the cheapest screenings, are pushed on women to cut costs, while private patients have more options to choose from as long as they can pay. And then it makes sense why Dr. Cormier may be pushing mammograms and tries to discredit alternative screenings.
They would never develop a device that squeezes the testicles of men to search for cancer. But women as usual due to their gender giving birth in pain are expected to undergo painful and/or humiliating procedures.

The most detailed on alternatives:

Medical misogyny in the UK amongst above UK Government report, Guardian article:
An English translation of an interview of a former German midwife working in German hospitals. And the violence also happens from women towards women. Society is indoctrinated to accept and practice hurt towards women. This is why it’s no surprise that Dr. Jules Cormier has so many female commenters coming to his rescue. Women throw other women under the bus, while men protect each other.
And that is why I speak so loud regarding jokers like Dr. Cormier. Now, before Dr. Cormier gets his knickers in a twist again, I am NOT accusing him of medical misogyny. I am placing all these links on one page for women to be aware that they are not alone and that they can believe themselves when they feel something is wrong! Believe yourself! But in my opinion Dr. Cormier is patronizing towards women and self-righteous. Come down from your high horse or get out of the medical profession.
The large white on blue text in the video reads: “I was a an accomplice”.
For some reason when playing this video here on my page, it is in German, which it truly is, as it was on a German talkshow. But when going to YouTube itself, it is synchronised in English with German subs. No idea why my page doesn’t play the English version. Or maybe the English version on YT itself automatically transfers into English when YouTube detects that one isn’t in Germany? Anyway.
Dr. Ramani on Narcissism: “The Narcissist’s Victim-Martyr Vibe” … and many other brilliant exposés on how narcissism works. She explains things a 5 year old can understand.
.
And many other links people can research for themselves.
But check her whole channel, it’s a treasure trove of insights into how narcissists work. And there are women narcissists. But before Dr. Cormier accuses me again that I call him a “narcissist”, I call what he writes narcissistic. It reminds me of narcissists, especially those who use their families as a shiled to hide behind and who pull the victim card.
Best wishes.

I worked at Pret A Manger and survived systemic workplace bullying during bereavement that involved HR, the top leadership, HQ and even the now “retired” former CEO Clive Schlee. Schlee has been appointed CEO of itsu in 2024 by Julian Metcalfe who gave him the CEO spot at Pret many years ago. I declined 4 settlement offers if I am silent about my ordeal. But I rather speak out to help others. For an overview of important blog entries of my experience with Pret, please visit “My Ordeal with Pret A Manger”. The little arrow to the right next to each heading will lead directly to the post. An incomplete list on what other Pret staff say about Pret’s bullying environment: Caught in the Act Bullying at Pret and What shop MANAGERS & HQ staff say about Pret incl. CEO Pano Christou. I tell my story for the first time verbally in below audio player interview on a podcast by The Adam Paradox, and wrote two articles in the Scottish Left Review as well as mentioned by the BBC.
Please also see the MEDIA page for more on my work with the press.
I stumbled upon a doctor post on Facebook by Dr. Jules Cormier and left a critique, and was of course blocked by him. So far to free speech and openness to receive feedback. Apart from his article seeming to be just self-serving, wanting the applause of people, especially from women who are conditioned to cater to men, the issues I have is below the quoted text. This would be a doctor I would steer miles away from.
Because he blocked me, not open for dialogue, I write much harsher now to put across the point not to play with lives and stop disrespecting women.
And to those who comment new comments about my work about Pret A Manger saying my blog is not legitimate, well, you have a right to your opinion. I worked with the BBC, The Times, The Guardian, got an undercover journalist from The Mirror to go into Pret and other news organisations and podcasters.
I will pass Dr. Cormier on to journalists to do some digging who he really is and why he lies so much.
Also, side note, it is clear he understands what I mean by men’s “testicles” not getting squeezed. Testicles is used as an umbrella term for that men are not subjected to painful medicine that women are subjected to, including violence in the delivery room. But Dr. Liar plays dumb again. More below.
Also, upfront, I did a little research, but not in-depth yet, and will pass on to journalists, WHERE does Dr. Cormier get his credentials from? Where has he studied? From which university did he graduate? He doesn’t show that anywhere, but I need to do more digging with help of journos who know how to dig.
Also, I am NOT against breast screening, but I am FOR alternatives to mammogram. See below YouTube links.
Also UPDATE 05.04.2026, Dr. Jules Cormier is LYING in a NEW post about my blog. He LIES to you! He writes that I am a “physician”. I am NOT a physician, I am a regular woman who has had mammogram that are very painful, inaccurate etc. Below I show links to ALTERNATIVES.
Dr. Cormier is a LIAR! That’s why he blocked me so that he can’t be exposed for lying about my blog. I put some of his lies at the bottom of this post.
I am NOT a doctor, I am a regular person with experience of mammogram.
(Above photo by Dr. Jules Cormier Facebook)
Part quote:
“I hear a lot of interesting things in my line of work.
I once had a patient tell me she avoided eating “big strawberries” because they were “pumped with chemicals and sugar”, while she had a 600 ml Sprite in her purse.
One of my patients refused mammograms because of the radiation, only to get diagnosed with breast cancer when it was too late.
Here is what I would tell my patients if I was not afraid of hurting their feelings.
I would tell them that you do not need to fear microplastics if you are drinking two glasses of wine every night.
Microplastic research is concerning, but still in its early stages.
Alcohol, on the other hand, is already a classified carcinogen that increases the risk of nearly a dozen cancers, even at low doses.
You’re fearing the wrong thing.
I would tell you that there is no need to worry about oversized strawberries being “full of chemicals” if you are drinking a Pepsi loaded with 50 grams of sugar.
I would tell you that there is no need to fear the 0.4 millisieverts of radiation from a mammogram every two years, unless you are also ready to cancel your cross country flights, which expose you to similar levels of radiation.
…
People spend most of their energy worrying about things that do not move the needle, while stepping over dollars to pick up pennies.
Dr. Jules”
End of quote.
Now I totally agree with the food aspects, sleep, how to deal with stress etc. But here this doc is doing what many male, especially young doctors are doing, he tells a story that doesn’t sound legitimate (strawberries vs Sprite, then he changes to Pepsi). Any woman who has had ongoing bad experiences with their doctors, being patronised, not believed and even physically hurt, and in some cases even sexually assaulted by male doctors, will cringe reading the above quoted text.
For starters, he portrays women as stupid and scared little puppies. He claims that a female patient is scared of “big strawberries” while supposedly having a Sprite bottle in her bag, he later changes to Pepsi. Then women supposedly are scared of radiation. Maybe they are, or maybe they lied to the doctors for other reasons.
Doing research on mammograms and the experience of women, including myself, who share that mammograms are painful and extremely uncomfortable. It SQUEEZES the breasts abnormally and can cause injury. Mammograms also aren’t as accurate as we’re brainwashed to believe. And they are out-dated.
On the NHS, women are sent to mammograms but in private medicine women can request ultrasound or other screening-types available. I recently had an MRI to the head done and my common sense jumped in thinking, if a scanner can scan brain cells accurately, why not breasts. And then I come across one of the below videos that MRIs are THE MOST accurate breast scanners, but also the most expensive.
The male dominated medical industry would never squeeze the testicles of men for prostate cancer. But women are as usual subjected to painful and humiliating treatments.
A nurse also once told me when I asked for alternatives, that when a NHS patient finds a lump in the breast, she can request to get alternative screening and not mammogram. There is alternative screening, but they don’t want women to know this. Mammograms are also not always accurate.
Here is how breasts are being squeezed the heck out of, at 3:00 onwards. And the typical fear mongering about 41% or whatever numbers women are not able to research facts.

Dr. Jenn Simmons:
Why Some Women Say No to Mammograms:
The Hidden Dangers in Traditional Breast Cancer Screening
.
“Alternatives to Mammograms”
.
This video is good, this doctor demonstrates how breasts are squeezed using a balloon:
.
So, this is about EDUCATION and not accepting the brainwash and gaslighting women receive since birth to believe everything they’re told, especially by male doctors who administer medicine tested for and on behalf of men oftentime, including the SAME dosis of medication tested on men.
There have been quite a few videos on YouTube about alternative screening, but those have disappeared. But keep looking, keep asking for alternatives, keep doing your own research.
Do your own research! And stand up for yourself.
Dr. Jules Cormier says that “you are fearing the wrong thing”. Exactly! He does the TYPCAL thing that gaslighting doctors do, they swap fear with another fear, as long as women remain in fear. If a woman doesn’t want mammogram which is a money making but out-dated and at times inaccurate screening, doctors scare women with “you get cancer…”
But once people educate themselves, they won’t fear anymore, but make informed decisions. Women would choose alternative screening to mammograms to take control of their own bodies and not be violated anymore.
In the advanced country of Germany there is even increased VIOLENCE in the delivery room. More and more the press picks up on it, but women and medical staff are being intimidated into silence.
This is in GERMANY, one of THE most medical advanced countries known for its scientists, writers, thinkers, inventors!
These are extreme cases of medical misogyny and to save money by pushing women to give birth fast and/or push for C-Sections (cheaper and faster). But the patronising, disbelieving and dismissing attitudes towards women often start very small.
And Dr. Jules Cormier, who blocked me after I commented my critique, is just a young male doctor who doesn’t seem to have interest in treating the whole person with dignity and respect. Him blocking me made my comment disappear, which means he doesn’t want women to get educated about alternatives. And him blocking me makes me think he will block treatment for women who question his words.
And regarding mammograms and other treatments, when I make choices against a certain treatment or medication, it is NOT out of fear, but that I did my research and make an INFORMED decision, to which I have a right without getting patronised or fear-managed by doctors. But even if I make decisions out of fear, that dear doctors is none of your business, but mine alone!
Doctors not only can be wrong, might be inexperienced, but at times are purposely misleading, not to mention patronising and misogynistic.
And of course this doctor is NOT speaking about prostate cancer and other male affected illnesses, he does the usual that many doctors do, patronise and brainwash women. The power these doctors have gets to their heads. These doctors KNOW that men are not easily influenced with bullsh!t that women are raised to be subjected to from childhood on.
So Dr. Jules Cormier, you can block me on Facebook, but my blog is free speech and even reporting me doesn’t help. You post something in public and are unwilling to engage in conversation when critiqued, I will take the liberty and put you on my blog, even if that is indirect advertising for you. But women are waking up to the bullsh!t of male dominated medicine, and even while female doctors can also be patronising or hurtful, because they’ve been raised and trained this way, more women are waking up, more female doctors hit the market and more female-only medical centres open up with female-only doctors and staff.
Now, please for the sake of your patients, stop patronising women and treat them with dignity, respect and take them serious. Or you have no business being in the medical field. This doctor is used to being told how awesome he is, and he seems more keen on having a social media presence than actually making a difference in people’s lives. And of course a lot of women compliment him, because women are conditions from childhood on to cater to men and stay clear of any overbearing issues from men.
From all the mainly women who compliment this doctor, one comment stands out, and this is EXACTLY what these type of doctors want: for women to “stay in line” and be the little obedient darlings they are raised to be for male entitlement and admiration.
French original, quote: “Merci beaucoup Dr Cormier tes articles me permettent de rester enligner et parfaitement d accord avec toi”
.
.
English translation, quote: “Thank you very much Dr. Cormier your articles allow me to stay in line and perfectly agree with you”
.
.
And then someone like me comes along and questions him, and he immediately blocks me, because critical voices against male entitlement isn’t welcomed.
The attention seeking entitlement and arrogance of Dr. Jules Cormier shines through.
Again, to all female and male patients, but especially women, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH! This is YOUR life! Take control of it!
UPDATE 05.04.2026
Link to his new post full of lies about my blog. I am a blogger who writes about the sandwich chain Pret A Manger, I am NO physician. And as I’m a regular blogger, of course I make mistakes spelling as I often type on the phone and on the Internet social media platforms no-one takes or should take typos serious. He clearly tries to find banal things to discredit my bad experience with mammogram and his patronising way to “lecture” women on their own decisions and bodies.
Even one commenter saw that I am not a physician, YET, she doesn’t call this misleading “doctor” out for lying. I have commented again via my alternate page which Facebook provides, and will get blocked again, but that doesn’t matter. I will spread my blog externally now to many people, and my blog statistics are through the roof.
This guy comes across like a cult leader with mainly female sheep blindly following him without fact checking. And when he gets questioned, he runs away to his cult following to get support because he is a coward.
.
.
This lying “doctor” will get exposed further now.
Some screenshots below in case he deletes or edits his post. I underline his lies.
Dr. Cormier writes, quote:
“I spoke about mammography after seeing a patient who had delayed screening because she feared the radiation, only to later receive a breast cancer diagnosis.” End of quote.
How was she diagnosed, if she didn’t like, didn’t do mammogram?
To readers, see the links above that I post and do further research on the ALTERNATIVES to mammogram. There are 6 or more alternative breast screenings. Mammogram is the LEAST effective, but the CHEAPEST. MRI is the MOST ACCURATE, but the most expensive.
And here are the LIES Dr. Cormier tells about my bog, quote:
“At first, I assumed I was dealing with a troll or a fake account. They made grammatical errors and even wrote “prostrate” repeatedly instead of prostate.
But after looking further, I realized this was a real physician.” End of quote.
DR. Cormier is LYING! I am NOT a physician, there is no indication anywhere on my blog where he would read such a thing. He further lies, quote:
“A deeper look at her page revealed affiliate links, parasite cleanses, pectin supplements promoted for breast cancer prevention, and “radiation protocols” that ultimately directed people toward supplements like melatonin.
So I blocked her.” End of quote.
No, he blocked me a 2. time after a brief exchange because I am exposing him.
He claims he sees on my blog that I’m a physician and link to “parasite cleansers”, whatever that is, YET, he does NOT show links. What a liar. This man is dangerous!
Blatant lies, there is nothing whatsoever on my blog about “parasite cleanses”, I don’t even know what that is, as I’m not a physician.
It is clear that there is something terribly wrong with this “doctor”, that he spreads lies. And he blocked me because I exposed his lies.
Other lies I won’t get into, but I will research him now.
Screenshot of part of his post, the red underlined are some of the lies. I will now put some journalists on to him.

I worked at Pret A Manger and survived systemic workplace bullying during bereavement that involved HR, the top leadership, HQ and even the now “retired” former CEO Clive Schlee. Schlee has been appointed CEO of itsu in 2024 by Julian Metcalfe who gave him the CEO spot at Pret many years ago. I declined 4 settlement offers if I am silent about my ordeal. But I rather speak out to help others. For an overview of important blog entries of my experience with Pret, please visit “My Ordeal with Pret A Manger”. The little arrow to the right next to each heading will lead directly to the post. An incomplete list on what other Pret staff say about Pret’s bullying environment: Caught in the Act Bullying at Pret and What shop MANAGERS & HQ staff say about Pret incl. CEO Pano Christou. I tell my story for the first time verbally in below audio player interview on a podcast by The Adam Paradox, and wrote two articles in the Scottish Left Review as well as mentioned by the BBC.
