Dr. Harold Mandel, M.D. Holistic Healthcare • Human Rights
As an independent physician, medical journalist, and human rights advocate based in New York, I provide holistic healthcare guidance and human rights reporting free from corporate influence. With extensive experience in general medicine, my mission is to empower individuals with truthful medical information and holistic health options while serving as an unwavering defender of patient autonomy.
My work is deeply rooted in a commitment to protecting vulnerable populations, specifically through independent medical journalism and reporting that exposes psychiatric abuses. I strive to help patients navigate complex systems so they can make informed, autonomous decisions about their health and well-being.
Through my telehealth practice , I offer a patient-centered approach that prioritizes the whole person over a diagnosis. I believe that medicine must begin with listening and proceed with honesty, ensuring the patient remains in control of their own journey. Whether providing clinical guidance or advocating for those silenced by coercive systems, my goal is to uphold the non-negotiable foundations of ethical care: informed consent and bodily autonomy.

The Silent Symphony: Why Swimming is Total-Body Alchemy
Swimming is one of the rare physical activities which offers a complete reset for the human body. Unlike high-impact sports that can take a toll on your joints over time, the buoyancy of water supports about 90% of your body weight. This creates a "weightless" environment where you can build significant cardiovascular endurance and muscular strength without the wear and tear caused by gravity. Every stroke—whether it’s the reach of a freestyle or the kick of a breaststroke—engages muscle groups from your deltoids down to your calves, making it a masterpiece of functional fitness.
Beyond the physical burn, the pool acts as a sanctuary for your mind. The sensory deprivation of being underwater, combined with the rhythmic, repetitive nature of breathing and stroking, induces a meditative state which is often called "blue mindfulness." This rhythm lowers cortisol levels and helps clear the mental fog of a digital world. There is a profound psychological release in leaving your phone and your stressors aside and entering a space where the only sounds are the bubbles and the steady beat of your own heart.
On a deeper level, swimming nourishes the spirit through a sense of liberation and flow. Water has a unique way of washing away the day's heaviness, offering a literal and metaphorical "fresh start." Whether you are gliding through a quiet lake or through the waters of a swimming pool, the feeling of grace and mastery over the element of water fosters a quiet confidence. It’s not just about the laps; it’s about the soul-deep rejuvenation which comes from being fully immersed in the present moment.
MandelNews.com: Where the Silenced Are Seen
Power, Predation, and the Illusion of Progress
The scandal surrounding Jeffrey Epstein did more than expose the crimes of one man and his network—it has illuminated a deeper, more disturbing sickness embedded within segments of the very wealthy and powerful. It revealed how influence, money, and status can be used to shield predatory behavior, allowing exploitation to flourish behind closed doors. What has shocked many was not merely the scale of abuse, but the degree to which institutions and elites were willing to look away, minimize harm, or actively protect those who were responsible.
For activists and advocates in mental healthcare and social justice, this pattern is tragically very familiar. Long before Epstein became a household name, many had warned that systems meant to heal and protect are too often weaponized. Psychiatry, in particular, has repeatedly been misused by opportunistic figures within medicine, law, and society to discredit, control, and marginalize both women and men—particularly those who are intelligent, creative, accomplished, and independent. Rather than being supported, such individuals are frequently subjected to stigmatizing psychiatric labels that undermine their credibility, autonomy, and social standing.
This process is not at all accidental. By ridiculing healthy relationships, undermining personal judgment, and attaching damaging psychiatric narratives to people’s identities, predators and their allies attempt to isolate their targets socially and professionally. The result is generally unjustified harm: lost careers, financial instability, legal troubles, and reputational destruction. These consequences are not side effects—they are tools which are deliberately used to weaken resistance and preserve control.
What emerges is a grim portrait of a society that has not outgrown its most primitive instincts. Despite technological advancement and public declarations of progress, we remain alarmingly archaic in how we confront exploitation and abuse. When institutions protect predators and punish the vulnerable, when stigma replaces truth, and when power outweighs justice, we reveal that we are still operating in a modernized version of the dark ages.
The Epstein scandal, then, is not merely a historical episode—it is a mirror. It reflects how far we still must go to create systems which are grounded in dignity, accountability, and genuine care. Until exploitation is confronted without fear or favoritism, and until both women and men are empowered rather than pathologized, the promise of progress will remain hollow. True advancement begins when society chooses courage over comfort and justice over convenience.
