Welcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode, I'm going to help you understand the critical difference between folic acid and methylfolate, and whether you should be taking either one if you're testing positive for high-risk HPV virus and potentially abnormal cells. Folic acid and methylfolate are both forms of vitamin B9. Folic acid is the synthetic form of vitamin B9, while methylfolate is the active form. Foic acid is commonly used in processed foods and many lower-quality supplements like multivitamins, prenatal vitamins, and B-complexes. Once you swallow folic acid, your body has to convert it into methylfolate, which is the form your cells can actually use. However, at least forty percent of us have at least one gene variation called MTHFR, which affects our ability to convert folic acid into folate. If you're one of those people with one or more MTHFR variations, you might not be able to convert folic acid as effectively. This means you won't get all the benefits from it. I've been in practice for over twenty-six years, and I specialize in HPV, abnormal pap smears, women's health, MTHFR, gene variations, and methylation issues. These are my specialties, and this is why I'm so passionate about helping people understand this topic. I'm here to help you!

Welcome to the How Humans Heal® Podcast. In this episode, I'm going to walk you through everything you need to know about your pap smear and HPV results, and the questions to ask your doctor so that you can make informed decisions about your health going forward. A lot of women feel completely caught off guard when they get an abnormal pap smear result. Sometimes they've gone their whole life without an abnormal pap, and out of nowhere they're testing positive for HPV. It can be very scary and overwhelming, and then you start searching everywhere for information. I want you to have the information you're probably not getting from your doctor's office. Oftentimes, the doctor's office doesn't call you when you have a normal result. Then when you do have an abnormal result, they may only have someone call to tell you that, and you're left wondering what it means and what to do. Even when you speak with the doctor or nurse, they might just say, come back in six or twelve months and we'll recheck it. That means you have six to twelve months to worry — and yes, there are absolutely things you can be doing during that time. There are ways to support your body to clear HPV, get it to negative, and keep it negative. I can say this after helping thousands of women do exactly that, using a holistic, natural approach. I'm here to help you!

What happens when a spike in gas prices crosses the legal line from market fluctuation to potential price gouging? In this episode, we unpack Connecticut Attorney General William Tong's declaration of an “abnormal market disruption,” a move that triggers the state's price gouging protections and makes it unlawful for anyone in the fuel supply chain to charge “unconscionably excessive” prices during the disruption period. With the announcement tied to rapidly rising wholesale gas prices amid an international crisis—and backed by coordinated monitoring and enforcement from multiple state agencies—the episode explores how these laws work in practice, why businesses across the distribution chain should take notice, and how state AGs may take an increasingly expansive view of pricing enforcement in volatile markets. Hosted by Simone Roach. Based on a blog post by Paul L. Singer, Beth Bolen Chun, Abigail Stempson, and Andrea deLorimier.

Scott Sullivan, professor of law at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and a leading contributor to the Manual on International Law Applicable to Artificial Intelligence in Warfare, joins Kevin Frazier, AI Innovation and Law Fellow at the University of Texas School of Law and a Senior Editor at Lawfare, to examine whether AI should be understood as a “normal” or “abnormal” technology.Drawing on his recent article, Sullivan argues that while AI may diffuse slowly and unevenly in civilian contexts, military AI operates under fundamentally different conditions—where strategic competition rewards speed, costs are often externalized, and meaningful oversight is limited by secrecy and epistemic uncertainty.The conversation explores how these dynamics challenge prevailing AI governance frameworks, what current military deployments reveal about the trajectory of AI adoption, and whether existing legal and policy tools are equipped to manage a domain where the pace of technological integration may outstrip the institutions designed to constrain it.

En este episodio de Hemispherics nos metemos de lleno en una de las preguntas clásicas de la neurorrehabilitación: ¿de dónde sale realmente la sinergia flexora? A partir de trabajos muy recientes con participación de Krakauer, exploramos una idea que puede cambiar la forma en la que entendemos este fenómeno: y es que quizá la sinergia no sea algo que el cerebro “genere” tras la lesión, sino la expresión de patrones preexistentes en la médula espinal que emergen cuando se pierde suficiente control descendente. A lo largo del episodio desmontamos el modelo clásico centrado en la vía reticuloespinal, analizamos evidencia experimental en primates y proponemos una visión integradora donde corteza, tronco y médula interactúan en distintos niveles. Un episodio para replantearse no solo el origen de la sinergia, sino también cómo la abordamos en clínica. Referencias del episodio: 1. Baines, A., Poll, A., Baker, A. M., Krakauer, J.

Seizures, incorrect diagnoses, and years of unanswered questions shaped Arielle's journey with autosomal dominant hypocalcemia type 1 (ADH1). ADH1 is a rare genetic condition in which the body is unable to accurately sense blood calcium levels, leading to hypoparathyroidism. Although she grew up aware that her calcium levels were low, she did not receive a formal diagnosis until age 16, when a severe calcium crash led to a seizure and ultimately revealed the underlying cause. Years later, when her young son Sebastian began experiencing seizures, Arielle recognized familiar warning signs of abnormal calcium levels. Despite a known family history of abnormal calcium levels, his symptoms were initially misdiagnosed, resulting in repeated hospital visits and increasing concern, until genetic testing for hypoparathyroidism ultimately confirmed a diagnosis of ADH1. In this episode of On Rare, David Rintell, Head of Patient Advocacy at BridgeBio, and Mandy Rohrig, Senior Director of Patient Advocacy at BridgeBio, speak with Arielle about navigating life with ADH1 and advocating for answers. She shares the realities of managing a condition that can quickly become life-threatening, from muscle spasms and seizures to hospitalizations and kidney complications, while raising a family and pushing for a diagnosis. Her story highlights the importance of persistence, listening to one's own instincts, and continuing to ask questions when something doesn't feel right, while  underscoring the power of a family coming together to find answers to a condition that has affected generations. Dr. Scott Adler, Chief Medical Officer of BridgeBio affiliate Calcilytix and a nephrologist, provides a medical overview of ADH1. Abnormal calcium levels can cause muscle spasms, and severe seizures, and painful muscle contractions known as tetany. About 80% of ADH1 cases are usually inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning they can be passed down from one affected parent. The remaining cases occur spontaneously, with no family history of the condition. ADH1 is currently managed with oral calcium and active vitamin D supplementation, although maintaining stable levels is challenging and may lead to complications over time.

Did Abnormal Refraction Doom The Titanic?In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of Review It Yourself, Sean sits down with renowned historian, author and TV presenter Tim Maltin to explore one of the most compelling alternative explanations behind the sinking of RMS Titanic — the Abnormal Refraction Theory.Drawing from his ground-breaking research in Titanic: A Very Deceiving Night, Tim explains how rare atmospheric conditions on 14 April 1912 may have distorted visibility in the North Atlantic. Could a natural optical illusion have delayed iceberg warnings, confused distress signals, and changed history forever?If you're searching for Titanic history, Titanic iceberg theories, or scientific explanations behind the Titanic disaster — this episode delivers evidence, clarity, and serious debate.A Deceptive Night in the North AtlanticMost Titanic discussions focus on speed, lifeboat numbers, or Captain Smith's decisions. But Tim Maltin's research introduces a fascinating scientific dimension:What is abnormal atmospheric refraction?How can mirage effects alter visibility at sea?Did false horizons hide the iceberg?Were distress rockets misinterpreted due to optical distortion?Could this explain the mysterious “nearby ship” debate?Blending maritime history, meteorology and survivor testimony, this episode re-examines one of history's most analysed disasters with fresh, data-driven insight.Whether you're a Titanic enthusiast, maritime historian, or fan of investigative book discussions, this is essential listening.About Tim MaltinTim Maltin is a leading British historian specialising in maritime history and the RMS Titanic.

Key Learning Points What the Test Measures Methacholine challenge is a direct bronchial provocation test of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), a core physiologic feature of asthma. Anyone will bronchoconstrict at high enough concentrations — the test looks for an abnormal threshold. The key endpoint is the PC20: the methacholine concentration causing a 20% fall in FEV1. Abnormal in adults: PC20 ≤ 8–16 mg/mL Test Performance Meta-analyses: pooled sensitivity ~60%, specificity ~90%. Real-world cohorts: sensitivity 55–62%, specificity 56–100% (varies by population, protocol, and threshold used). Not a standalone yes/no test — best used as part of a broader diagnostic pathway. Where It Fits in the Asthma Workup The test belongs in a stepwise approach: Step 1: Spirometry + bronchodilator response Step 2: Add FeNO and/or peak flow variability (if available) Step 3: If the picture is still unclear → methacholine challenge It is most useful for symptomatic patients with normal spirometry and no bronchodilator reversibility. Given its cost, mild risk, and discomfort, it should not be a first-line test — most asthma diagnoses do not require it. Technique and Medication Prep Technique ERS guidelines favor tidal breathing over deep inspiratory maneuvers. Deep breaths can be bronchoprotective and blunt the response, reducing sensitivity — especially in mild or well-controlled asthma. Medication Washout (to Avoid False Negatives) Medication ClassWashout PeriodShort-acting beta-agonists (SABA)≥ 6 hoursLong-acting beta-agonists (LABA)~24 hoursUltra-long-acting beta-agonists~48 hoursShort-acting anticholinergics (e.g., ipratropium)~12 hoursLong-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA, e.g., tiotropium)7 days Inhaled corticosteroids, leukotriene blockers, and antihistamines do not significantly affect the test acutely — continue these. Withdrawing ICS also carries its own risk for asthma patients. Practical tip: Spell out exactly what to hold and when — for both the patient and the PFT lab — at the time the test is ordered. Interpreting Results Negative Test (PC20 > 16 mg/mL) Very high negative predictive value in symptomatic adults. Makes current asthma quite unlikely (assuming proper test conduct). This is the test’s greatest strength: it is an excellent rule-out test. Positive Test (PC20 ≤ 8–16 mg/mL) More nuanced — airway hyperresponsiveness is not unique to asthma. Can be positive in: chronic cough, allergic rhinitis, COPD, and even some healthy asymptomatic individuals. A positive result raises probability but must be interpreted alongside the clinical story, variable respiratory symptoms, peak flow variability, FeNO, and ICS response. Safety and Risks Overall, the test is quite safe; significant adverse effects are rare. Temporary breathing discomfort is expected (bronchoconstriction is being induced). Severe bronchospasm is possible: A trained clinician should be available; SABA inhaler/nebulizer must be immediately on hand; a physician should be reachable in the facility. Contraindications / cautions: Avoid if FEV1 < 70% predicted or < 1–1.5 L (baseline obstruction greatly increases risk). Avoid within 3 months of an acute cardiac event (rare risk of cardiac events with unstable cardiac disease). Five Pearls — Quick Recap What it tests: Methacholine challenge is a direct test of AHR with high specificity but variable sensitivity — it belongs inside a diagnostic pathway, not as a standalone asthma test. When to use it: Most useful for symptomatic patients with normal spirometry and no bronchodilator response, after FeNO and peak flow variability have been considered. Technique and meds matter: Use tidal breathing protocol; respect washout intervals — especially the 7-day LAMA washout and 24–48 hour LABA window — to avoid false negatives. Safety: Generally safe, but can induce significant bronchoconstriction. Have a SABA available and avoid the test in patients with FEV1 < 70% predicted. Interpretation: A negative test (PC20 > 16 mg/mL) strongly argues against current asthma. A positive test raises probability but is not specific — interpret alongside the full clinical picture.

Ever heard of cognitive dissonance? That thing a psychology lecturer might have explained to you once upon a time, likely using the same UFO cult example everyone else uses. Well, a new paper by Thomas Kelly suggests that the UFO cult example might have been ever so slightly oversold.Kelly's archival work suggests that the researchers didn't just observe the cult as reported. Instead, they infiltrated it, faked supernatural experiences, assumed quasi-leadership roles, and then wrote up the results as if the group had spontaneously doubled down on their failed prophecy, which they had not. Because the leader recanted, and the group fell apart shortly after the failed prophecy. Minor details.Matt and Chris discuss this paper, a 2024 multilab replication, and some other papers by Kelly, considering the ever-reliable tendency of researchers to find exactly what they are looking for.It's cognitive dissonance all the way down, folks.The full episode is available to Patreon subscribers (1 hour, 10 minutes).Join us at: https://www.patreon.com/DecodingTheGurusDecoding Academia 34: When Prophecy Fails Debunked?00:00 Introduction02:04 Cognitive Dissonance Theory06:41 Classic lab evidence: effort justification & the ‘severe initiation' study08:33 When Prophecy Fails: The Original Account10:54 The debunking: archival evidence, misconduct claims, and ethical red flags20:22 Replication reality check: multi-lab results and ‘strong vs weak' dissonance31:40 Beyond one case: survivorship bias, failed prophecies, and early Christianity parallels35:51 Christianity as Historical Anomaly or Cognitive Dissonance Exemplar?41:48 Thomas Kelly: Interesting biosafety takes and a possible Christian lens45:43 The importance of seeking for disconfirming evidence50:23 Conspiracy-theory dynamics & narrative elaboration56:30 Classical Psychological Theories and Personal Motivations01:03:07 Steps that can be taken to reduce biases01:05:01 Stay tentative, check evidence, and don't pick sides too fast01:06:30 A lesson from Scott Alexander!SourcesAcademic Papers and BooksFestinger, L.

The weirdos have always been here. They just didn't have a medium to express their illegitimate views before social media. It used to be you had to have talent as a writer, journalist, or analyst to be published someplace where the public would be exposed to your thoughts. Now there is no checks and balance system that filters out the volatile and unstable. We are flooded with the most illogical because they have always outnumbered us. Sadly there have always been more bad parents than good ones. We just were spared this realization for most of human history because the internet wasn't there to give them a voice. The impression most have however is that the world has gone mad. I say the world was always majority mad, but now they're weaponized to bring us down and make us depressed. It was the better stock, the pneumas rather than the hylics AKA NPCs that kept the standard higher. Now it's an orgy of idiacy and cultural Marxism raging throughout media.

In this episode of Eye on AI, we sit down with Evan Reiser, co-founder and CEO of Abnormal AI, to unpack how AI has fundamentally changed the cybersecurity landscape.   We explore why social engineering remains the most costly form of cybercrime, how generative AI has lowered the barrier for sophisticated attacks, and why humans have become the primary attack surface in modern security. Evan explains why traditional, signature-based defenses fall short, how behavioral AI detects threats that have never existed before, and what it means to build security systems that understand how people actually work and communicate.   The conversation also looks ahead at the AI arms race between attackers and defenders, the economics driving cybercrime, and what it truly means to be an AI-native company operating at scale.   This episode is a deep dive into the human side of AI security and why the future of cybersecurity depends less on code and more on behavior.

In this episode I'm going to help you understand your Pap smear and colposcopy results, particularly if you have an abnormality. Abnormal cells on the cervix are referred to as "dysplasia," and that means high-risk HPV (human papilloma) virus is active and now is the time to prevent it from getting worse. I want to help you understand what your results mean and what your options are. I've seen so many different scenarios involving women of all ages and backgrounds from around the world. I've put my attention into helping women prevent cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, and other forms of HPV-related cancer. I've developed a protocol that has successfully helped women clear high-risk HPV all the way to negative and maintain that status, preventing the virus from causing cancer. I'm here to help you!

I'm so delighted to have Meaghan Doyle back on the show today to talk about the truth about abnormal embryos. Meaghan is a genetic counselor, and founder of DNAide, where she specializes in infertility, preimplantation genetic testing, and preconception genetic counseling. In this discussion, Meaghan and I are talking about the different kinds of embryo testing, what genetic test results should be used for, and why all fertility patients need to ask for reports on "abnormal" embryos. The truth is that sometimes, patients are told that their embryos are abnormal but never learn much more about the embryo itself. In some situations, those abnormal embryos can become healthy pregnancies and healthy, live babies, so it's important to learn as much as you can about all of the results of the genetic testing done on your embryos. To set the stage for this conversation, I asked Meaghan what it means to genetically test an embryo, and here's what she explained: "It means that we've taken a sample from the outer layer of the embryo, usually a few cells, and sent that sample to a genetic testing lab. And there's actually a few different types of genetic testing that can be done on that sample. Generally, when we say an embryo has had genetic testing, we're referring to a test called PGT-A. And so when we say an embryo has been genetically tested, usually that's what we're referring to." So what happens when an embryo comes back as "abnormal," and what can you do if it happens to you? Tune in to hear Meaghan explain. Thank you for joining me, Meaghan!

The Carolinas just wrapped up one of the warmest late-November stretches on record — but at the same time, social media has exploded with snow hype ahead of Thanksgiving. So what's real, and what's just another single-model-run gone viral?In this week's Carolina Weather Group episode, James Brierton, Sam Walker, and Frank Strait break down:

I'm trying something new: differentials. Each episode, I'll pick one ocular sign and one ocular symptom, and walk you through everything that could cause them. This week: the mysterious “abnormal red reflex” and the all-too-common “my eyes are burning.” From cataracts and retinoblastoma to blepharitis and bad makeup glue, I'm breaking down the real possibilities, one red, irritated eyeball at a time. It's part med school, part comedy, and yes, you might just become an honorary ophthalmologist by the end of it. Takeaways: Why an “abnormal red reflex” might mean anything from cataract to retinoblastoma. The simplest test pediatricians use to spot dangerous eye conditions early. How blepharitis and clogged oil glands cause that all-too-familiar burning sensation. The surprising eye problems linked to makeup, contact lenses, and preservatives. Why ophthalmologists love differentials and how this new series might just teach you to think like one.

Lisa Frattini was in severe pain when an MRI showed an abnormality that scared her to death. As I know from experience, seeing a significant problem inside one's body and hearing about a dark prognosis from a physician can really rock your world. After a childhood of people pleasing and overcaring for those around her, Lisa was overflowing with big feelings and the vestiges of stored trauma. I have had the privilege of being with Lisa for years in community and at our June OMEGA retreats in New York, and she has an amazing story to tell. Join us for a triumphant and joyful conversation about pain, fear, community, and ultimately a chronic pain-free life. I'm excited to share it with you. XOOX n.

But through his journey to find a solution for that pain, he found a new mission to help others avoid the mistakes he made in the past. His book, "The Gift of Injury: The Strength Athlete's Guide To Recovering From Back Injury To Winning Again" co-written with Dr. Stuart McGill is highly praised by athletes and rehab professionals alike.Since entering his first powerlifting meet in 1999, Brian Carroll has since risen to the absolute pinnacle of the sport. Brian totaled 2730 at 275 and 2651 at 242 with more than ten times his body weight in three different classes (220, 242, 275), and both bench pressed and deadlifted over 800 pounds in two other weight classes. He's totaled 2600 over 20 times in 2 different weight classes in his career. He has squatted over 1000lbs more than 60 times and was the first man to squat of 1300lbs.After ten years of high-level powerlifting competition and an all-time World Record squat at 220 with 1030, in 2009, Brian was competing for a Police academy scholarship. On a hot and humid July morning, Brian, hurdling over a barricade at 275lbs, landed on, fell, and hurt his back. The resulting back pain has been a huge part of his professional journey, leading him to seek out Stu McGill in 2013 who he latered co-authored The Gift of Injury with in 2017. It's worth nothing that his 1306lb squat came AFTER all of the back back and working with Dr. McGill.He owns his own coaching and consulting business Power Rack Strength where he works with a wide range of athletes and frequently delivers professional education for rehab professionals.Abnormal magnetic-resonance scans of the lumbar spine in asymptomatic subjects.
