What They AREN’T Telling You

Today I talk about the recent RFK Jr. Confirmation Hearings for his President-nominated position as the head of HHS. I discuss the Democratic Senators' hyper focus on vaccines, common tactics used in hearings to silence certain voices, and investigate the concept of science ever being "settled."

Hard to avoid talking about this at some point because there is so much to dissect regarding leadership of our country during an election year. Also discussed: Biden's Covid diagnosis, the criticism of Trump's role in Operation Warp Speed, and split support in the medical freedom movement for Trump and Kennedy. This episode was recorded July 20th, 2024. The following day Biden dropped out of the presidential race. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melissa-floyd/support

Insomnia? Sleep deprivation? Struggles with sleep after having children? Due to today's stress levels and the challenges of post-"pandemic" life, there has never been a more important time to discuss sleep health. In this episode I openly talk about my severe bout with sudden insomnia and what I've learned over the last 2 years about sleep hygiene and supportive sleep supplementation -- hoping some of this advice will reach those who need it. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melissa-floyd/support

Another very popular and divisive discussion where any critical thinking is labeled a "conspiracy": weather modification, also known as geoengineering. While not all conspiracies are true, many are simply called conspiracies because they are bringing to light unfavorable things people in high positions are doing. And like other medical interventions we can't easily opt out of, weather modification affects our health. Spraying nanoparticles of metals into the air is not without serious consequences. This episode is an introduction into this subject, covering what's happening and the possibly whys. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melissa-floyd/support

Welcome back! Today I finish the research from Dr. Reiter on high dose melatonin as an antioxidant and immune support. No, it's not just for sleep! And no, taking melatonin won't interfere with your body's ability to make it! This concludes my 4 part series on melatonin which addressed many of the popular myths surrounding it. Hope you enjoy! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melissa-floyd/support

Dr. Russel Reiter has published more studies on melatonin than any other person alive. He has been studying it for decades to demonstrate the amazing immune benefits it provides through supplementation. Breaking down myths and offering facts, this episode (and the next one) will wrap up my discussion on "the debate around melatonin". --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melissa-floyd/support

What does 18 months with a mysterious, chronic health issue teach you about healing? First, that healing isn't linear. Second, It's a bit of a roller coaster. How are emotions from the past tied into a physical issue you're having today? Mind and body are inextricably intertwined, and healing one always involves the other. Today I give some of my most profound lessons from this challenging time in my life. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melissa-floyd/support

Today I continue with more research studies that prove significant immune benefits to the use of melatonin. Do your best to put aside things you've been told about melatonin, because according to data, they're likely all wrong! Very hopeful information about the use of melatonin for immune support, reducing oxidative stress, treatment for cancer, and more. Part 3 and 4 to wrap up my discussion on melatonin coming next week! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melissa-floyd/support

This topic is an interesting one! Melatonin use is rather controversial in both the holistic and Western medical world. Previous theories have warned people claiming it would interfere with your body's ability to produce the "hormone" naturally. But data doesn't actually back this theory up. High dose melatonin, which behaves more like a super antioxidant than a hormone, has been used for years to treat severe respiratory infections and even cancer. It may be time to re-evaluate our beliefs on melatonin and see it not as a sleep aid but as an immune powerhouse. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melissa-floyd/support

Today I finish discussing the recent article written by the new head of the CDC, Dr. Mandy Cohen. Here, I dive into the statistics she cites claiming Americans are on board with interventions for Covid. Shockingly (sarcasm) they are misleading, and even tell a different story.

Today we talk about an article written in the New York Times by the new head of the CDC, Dr. Mandy Cohen. Dr. Cohen advocates for all Americans 6 months and over to get this season's new booster because "they're safe and they work." The data, however, says otherwise -- as the last few episodes of this podcast have pointed out. In an effort to help you stay informed, I break down what she says, AND what she chooses NOT to say.

This is Part 2 of the breakdown of Yale Medicine's article on the new subvariant Eres as well as information on the new vaccine. The new vaccine program is set to be unveiled next week with a request for all Americans to get this new version. Data, however, shows us that not only is this new version targeting an outdated strain, but the new illness is considered mild anyway.

Today I discuss the conversation surrounding C_vid as a new vaccine by all three manufacturers is ready to be unveiled next week. On these two episodes, I break down an article from Yale Medicine.org with an infectious disease doctor and his thoughts on the new variant and the new vaccine.

Today I talk about a recent interview with Dr. Fauci where he tells Americans to be prepared for more lockdowns based on a new subvariant, BA.2. Fauci makes a claim that we will have to get used to "pivoting" back and forth between normal life and being restricted like we were at the beginning of the pandemic, even thought this new variant is even LESS deadly than any other we've seen.

Today's interview with nurse Danielle was originally recorded summer of 2021. She talks about how "true health" including physical activity was never discussed as a treatment measure during the pandemic. The focus SHOULD be on preventative care -- behaviors and patterns that keep people from being sick in the first place. That makes them less likely to burden the medical and/or hospital system and also a safer member of society. However this pandemic has shown that, while they had a captive audience, keeping people from getting sick was never the point. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/melissa-floyd/support

This episode, originally recorded early in 2021, discusses a part of the pandemic no one has been talking about -- Labor & Delivery and how birthing moms have been affected by mitigation policies. This nurse explains how new babies were separated from their mothers for several weeks after birth even if there was a "suspected positive" or completely asymptomatic case. New mothers were also not allowed to breastfeed, perhaps the most important action step needed to protect the babies for their growth and development and foundational health. She also discusses the misguided policies removing birthing partners, laboring partners, spouses, and forcing masks on laboring women, and how they added to the obstacles for those going through what should have been one of the most important times of their lives. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/melissa-floyd/support

Today I talk about something that won't seem to go away C A N C E L C U L T U R E. I address Chappelle's new comedy special "The Closer", why it's causing controversy, and how cancel culture works. Then I delve into an article written by psychologist Kimberly Wilson who says cancel culture is TOXIC to our mental health. I finish this episode by quoting a second article on cancel culture, one that warns by stifling open debate in the population, we are harming more than just one conversation, we are harming them all. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/melissa-floyd/support

(Originally recorded May 16, 2021) Melissa - "To somebody who's still afraid, afraid to be anywhere without their mask, afraid to go outside or venture outside, afraid to be around people who haven't had the vaccine yet...from a nurse's perspective, what advice would you give them?" Angie - "For those who still do feel afraid to go and be around other people: 1) this has never been what they made it out to be, so there is no fear there, and 2) there are a lot of great ways to take care of your body and your immune system and those things matter far more than any of these other measures that have been put in place." --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/melissa-floyd/support

Today I discuss the recent publication in the scientific journal NATURE that confirms vaccinated people are spreading the Delta variant up to three times more frequently than prior strains. The key finding was that the viral load in infected people was the same between the fully vaccinated and unvaccinated, meaning the ability to infect someone else was equal. This reinforces early theories by scientists around the globe that admitted this vaccine would not be able to stop transmission of SARS-Cov-2. Why is this important? If the main reason behind policy mandates—forcing millions out of their jobs and a right to education—is "public responsibility" to "keep others in the community safe", then this data proves that isn't happening or even possible.

"When does it end? How many doses are enough? How many layers of mitigation are enough? Triple vaccine...double mask...six feet apart...and don't leave your house? I mean, how many layers are going to be enough for people to feel like we can finally move on?" Today I discuss Chris Rock's statement that he was infected post-vaccine as well as look at some tweets from his supporters and others who describe their post-vax infections. I also break down an organization's pamphlet created to increase confidence in the Covid vaccine by polling parents to see what it would take for them to get their kids vaccinated. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/melissa-floyd/support

Today I speak with Chelsea Patton who is a registered nurse from the East Coast who weighs in on her experience during the pandemic. She talks about how fear caused many unnecessary deaths, how the initial medical response missed the mark, and how vaccine reactions are underreported.

"It's a heroic person to believe a lie for 20, 30, 40 years and face it, and then have to deal with the emotions that come from that shift in your belief system. The vaccine...what a beautiful lie to believe in. That's easy right? If we could believe in that lie then all you have to do is get your two shots, then you don't have to wear a mask, and you could get back to normal, and you could hug your family..."

Today's nurse remains anonymous but shares her experience as a traveling critical care nurse working in the ICU who saw first-hand the devastation  of Covid policies and mitigation strategies. She shares how hospitals were incentivized to report as many cases of Covid as possible to qualify for FEMA-paid nurses to essentially work as "free labor" for the hospital. She also goes into detail on ventilators- - how they work, what can go wrong, and how they were used inappropriately to treat Covid.

"We're in the middle of the biggest clinical trial in the history of the world because hundreds of millions of people are going to be getting this [vaccine] BLINDLY, and my mind is still blown that people are just lining up for this without much information..."

Today I interview chiropractor Dr. Tommy John discussing how his own sports history led him to become a practitioner and why chiropractors get a bad rap in the mainstream medical community.

"I think people who love freedom and love liberty ascribe to basically two general principles which are: one, nobody should really cause harm to anybody else and number two, that people should be responsible for their own lives.  When the government plays a big role in their lives, it actually prohibits them from asserting control and autonomy over their own life."

"As a mom, I tend to compartmentalize; and when I'm at work, my kids are not in my head. I cannot think about where they are, what they're doing, or how their day is going. I have to be focused on being able to be home for them when my shift is over. I need to be able to go home at night. We say it all the time. At the beginning of the shift, we do our little briefing and the next words out of everybody's mouths are, 'We go home tonight.' "

"I am extremely healthy. So I am consistently improving the health of the community around me. And I'm doing the same for my children who are also very healthy and have never had doctors' visits, and have never been on antibiotics. They are not the sick kids getting everybody else sick. I am not a sick adult getting everybody else sick. But somehow all that effort, all that work, all that time I put into it doesn't count for anything. No matter how hard you try to be a good person in society, if you do not follow the narrative, it doesn't matter. And it is so difficult to be on the receiving end of this vitriol when you know you have worked so hard to be a good member of society. It is really difficult to tolerate and accept that level of discrimination and hate."

"If the government can force you to put something into your body and the body of your child without your voluntary informed consent, there will be no limit on which individual freedoms they can take away. This is about autonomy and protection of bodily integrity, and protection of autonomy is the first human right. So this is a very critical time. Everyone is going to have to make a choice: are you going to bow down or are you going to stand up and fight for your freedom?"  

"This COVID vaccine is not without risk. So requiring something like this steps over the line. It's steps over that line. We're talking about a 99.5% recovery rate, and even higher if you're under 70 years old... They're telling you if you don't comply, you don't get to be a part of society."

"Here's the bottom line. There are two possibilities for what a human being will react to when they hear these kind of inconsistencies. If somebody said that antibody tests either mean you had the virus or you didn't, there are two possible reactions you can have. One—which is what most people have—is 'Man, this stuff is so complicated I can't possibly understand it, so I'm gonna leave it to the experts.' That's one possible reaction. The other possible reaction is, 'These guys don't know what they're talking about...I don't buy it, and I'm gonna look into it myself.' That's what I did. People have to trust their own sense of thinking and their own intuition, and that's what they don't."

"If anybody has a paper out there in the scientific literature that says they have evidence of an isolated, purified, characterized virus, causing disease in any animal or human and it's absolutely the method I described, I will stop the publication of this book. All I can say is having grown up the same way as everybody else, I would have never have expected that I would be saying this 30 years ago... Now, after examining and examining and talking to my whole team, all of whom have looked through the literature, this is as accurate as I can get it."

"Every time we have good news when we look at the data, somebody's trying to point out something to continue keeping everyone in a state of fear. That's part of why I think they're keeping the mask mandates. I think visually when you see a population of people wearing something over the face it's a constant reminder — germs, sickness, illness, danger, worry, fear." (My personal commentary)

"The biggest thing I tell people is I say 'it's my turn now', right? I swore an oath in the Marine Corps to uphold the Constitution and defend my country. And now it's my turn to have that Constitution work for me, and time for me to be able to express my rights--not just defend it, but for me to actually BE a small business owner that can succeed and live the American Dream."

"There's something nefarious behind the scenes because none of this makes sense if you think about it. Who in their right mind would want to destabilize law enforcemenr? Who would want to have chaos? Who would want to throw fuel on a fire with protests while everybody was already stressed out from being quarantined? None of it makes sense, so there has to be a bigger, hidden agenda underneath it."

"The biggest concern I have is we have lost sight of true public health. They've become COVID officers and that's it. And all of the other facets of public health—emotional health, other illnesses, financial health, mental health—all of these things have completely fallen by the wayside. And too many of our public health officers, and CLEARLY our governor, all they care about is Covid."

"If you're so scared that you expect schools to close because you're a teacher and you're saying you're risking your life if you go back to teaching in a school... then what are you doing leaving your house ever? I sure hope you don't go places. I hope you don't go to the store, I hope you don't go ANYWHERE there are people. Because if this virus is really that deadly, and you think a piece of cloth covering people's faces is going to be the thing that keeps you from getting it, you're delusional. If it's really that scary, you should NEVER leave your house."

"Many of us think we know about the flu vaccine. We believe it prevents the flu, or at the very least, reduces complications from the flu, thus reducing deaths. The flu story we THINK we know is not supported by medical evidence. The history of the flu vaccine is a cautionary tale about the crony capitalist rush for a Covid-19 vaccine."

"Now you go on social media and you only get to see one opinion. So how do you expect people to ever have a differing point of view? They aren't allowed to make their own choices really. It's almost, in a sense, like mind control because people aren't allowed to see a different point of view...so of course they're going to align with the ONLY point of view that they see. It's a really scary thing."
