What's up all you gardeners!  Mr Weedman and Big Earl are back in the studio after some busy months apart. Before they get into some serious weed talk, they get normal, Mr Weedman is seshing on Seattle Chronic grown by Earl and Big Earl is enjoying Lava Cake from his amazing garden. From there the two get into a great conversation about Organic IPM, and using fungus and bacteria in your IPM. Commonly referred to as biologicals, you often hear more about predator bugs but there are also fungus and bacteria that we can use to protect us from most problems. They cover terminology, the direct approach, proper feeding and watering, air flow and so much more. The focus is prevention not treatment and Big Earl shares tons of experience and knowledge so your grow can be a successful one. Thanks for listening and as always, hit us up...---IG: @earl217 and @iamtheregalbeagleEmail: ThatRegalBegal@gmail.com---Twitter: @weedman420podYouTube: Weedman420 ChroniclesEmail: weedman420chronicles@gmail.com---Swag/Shop: https://eightdecades.comIG: @eightdecadesEmail: eightdecadesinfo@gmail.com---#High #Cannabis #StomptheStigma #FreethePlant #CannabisEducation  #CannabisResearch #Weed #Marijuana #LegalizeIt #CannabisNews #CBD #Terpenes  #CannabisPodcast #Podcast #eightdecades #Homegrow #Cultivation #BigEarl #Weedman420Chronicles #GrowHour #seeds #genetics #nutrients #IPM #Burpinthebag #LED #Lights #Atmosphere #TheRegalBegalBeanCo #Autoflower #autos #regs #photos #feminized #terps #plantmedicine #holistichealing #holistic  #seedbreeder #seedbank #beans #forage #chemisty #science #plants #hash #collab #flush COPYRIGHT 2021 Weedman420Chronicles© Suggestions?

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITStrange stories lurk in the shadows of our news cycles, overshadowed by flashier headlines but no less fascinating. Today's episode dives into two such tales that deserve your attention.First, we explore the concerning discovery of a mysterious new bacterial strain aboard China's Tiangong space station. This microorganism, related to bacteria found in soil and waste, has developed peculiar "unique abilities" that allow it to thrive in space environments. While scientists frame this as a beneficial discovery for understanding life beyond Earth, questions arise about potential applications by a nation with questionable motives on the world stage.The narrative then shifts to Pensacola Beach, where modern technology and quick thinking converged in an extraordinary rescue. When a teenage girl found herself caught in a powerful riptide, traditional rescue methods proved too slow. Enter an unlikely hero – a shark hunter who repurposed his drone to deliver a flotation device to the struggling swimmer. This remarkable incident highlights how everyday technology can transform into life-saving tools when conventional approaches fall short.Beyond these captivating stories, the episode takes a more personal turn as I reflect on my relationship with social media and content creation. Like many of us, I've been questioning the balance between online engagement and real-world connection. The constant pull of digital spaces often disconnects us from what matters most – a struggle many listeners likely share. The episode concludes with a fascinating exploration of dream interpretation through my recent experience of being attacked by a bear yet feeling anger rather than fear. What do your dreams reveal about your subconscious? Listen, reflect, and perhaps share your own dream experiences in the comments. Sometimes the most revealing stories are the ones we tell ourselves while sleeping.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!

Microbial forensics is a science that lets us trace killers and terrorists by the microscopic footprints they leave behind. From the landmark 1994 HIV murder case where viral genetics first convicted a doctor, to the chilling Amerithrax investigation after 9/11. You'll learn how microbes are rewriting crime solving while we explore true cases, cutting-edge research on skin microbiomes and microbial death clocks, and what the future holds when invisible evidence becomes undeniable.   TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: What skin microbiomes reveal about who touched what and when How microbes can be used to map the timeline of a crime scene Intelligence agencies using "microbial geolocation" to trace where you've been How microbial forensics was used to solve a murder and trace the post 9/11 Anthrax murders The future of turning invisible bacterial clues into courtroom evidence Why microbial forensics could reshape how we solve crime—and even prevent terrorism   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Antimicrobial resistance is a rising global threat. When these become ineffective, infections can become difficult or impossible to treat, leading to an increase in the spread and severity of disease. In a new study, published in Nature Medicine, a team of researchers at the Center for Phage Biology and Therapy at Yale discovered a novel approach that may revolutionize the fight against antimicrobial resistance. In the study, the research team investigated the use of phage therapy—the use of viruses, or phages, to target and kill bacteria—to help patients with cystic fibrosis, a disease in which antimicrobial resistance is a significant issue. The team pioneered a strategy to select phages that not only kill bacteria that cause infections but also weaken surviving bacteria to become less virulent or less resistant to antibiotics. Joining me today to discuss phage therapy and their research is Jon Koff, MD, Dr. Koff is an associate professor in Yale School of Medicine's Section of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine and medical director of the Center for Phage Biology and Therapy.   Check out the paper: Phage Therapy May Treat Drug Resistance in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis, Study Finds   Watch the video version at Outbreak News TV

And Happy Mother's Day to all of our awesome moms out there! We need to talk about what is in the water. Mainly pools, hot tubs, rivers, creeks, lakes, oceans...okay, so all of it. I am specifically bringing to your attention the many icky microbes that can infect you if you are not careful to prevent them while swimming and while on vacation. Many of these (campylobacter, E. coli, Giardia, etc) simply cause gastrointestinal illness...though these can be deadly in severe cases especially those younger than five years of age, the elderly, and those with compromised immunity. There are other's however that can cause deadly pneumonia in just the right circumstances and necrotizing fasciitis and sepsis. People have lost limbs thanks to such microbes as Vibrio and other horrid bacteria lurking in these aquatic environments. Lastly, I want to talk about one of my greatest fears but also one of my favorite topics to discuss: Naegleria fowleri...the brain eating amoeba. This nasty little amoebas, if allowed, can make their way up the nose, and all the way into the brain where they will quickly start eating away and destroying tissue. It is usually always fatal and only a handful of people around the world have survived. Like Vibrio, this is thankfully a rare occurrence. Still, I would avoid getting warmer fresh water up your nose...or using tap water for your Neti pots...it could literally come back to bite you...in the brain. That was lame, I know.

Anti-Aging Bacteria And Superfood Algae | Divij's Den EP134

Bacteria have been around for billions of years. Could they have come up with complex behaviors that we just don't understand yet? Could they have their own language? Their own culture? Their own complex societies playing out right under, and in, our noses? Microbiologist Bonnie Bassler has been studying these questions for more than 30 years. She talks with Host Flora Lichtman about the wild world of bacterial communication, and how understanding microbes could help us understand ourselves.Guest: Dr. Bonnie Bassler, microbiologist at Princeton UniversityTranscript will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

What do you do when the subject of your research lies deep beneath the waves? Send down an underwater robot, of course! We chat to volcanologist Sofia Della Sala about her recent fieldwork expedition to Santorini, where she used a Remotely Operated Vehicle, or ROV, to search for hydrothermal vents in the Aegean Sea. These vents - which are like hot springs on the sea floor - could provide vital insight into the volcanic and tectonic activity in the region.

About half of all Americans have gum disease, a chronic condition that can destroy the tissues holding your teeth in place. Untreated, it can lead to the loss of teeth - even healthy ones!While traditional periodontal therapy can be helpful, today, we have new and innovative ways of treating it even more effectively. That's the focus of this latest episode of Your Mouth Matters, in which Dr. T talks with Judy Carroll about her innovative RPE protocol. (“RPE” stands for Regenerative Periodontal Endoscopy.)Judy is a world leader in advanced perioscopy. She's helped thousands of patients with her innovative protocol that starts with a tiny fiber optic camera that's inserted below the gumline so we can see what's happening below the surface. This is combined with micro-ultrasonic piezo technology and the use of regenerative proteins to achieve excellent results in a non-aggressive way.  Listen now to learn all about RPE and the role it can play in helping you on your way back to healthy periodontal tissues to support healthy teeth and a healthy body alike. Learn more about Judy and RPE at PerioPeak Innovations: https://periopeak.com/how-rpe-works/ 

What if mitochondria weren't just energy engines — but conscious beings guiding your survival and evolution? In this episode, Dave Asprey sits down with Zach Bush, MD, to uncover a radical new science of cellular intelligence. Together, they reveal how your mitochondria, microbiome, and genetic memory do far more than support survival—they actively shape consciousness, drive healing, and accelerate human evolution. You'll discover why chronic disease, fatigue, brain fog, and emotional trauma often trace back to lost cellular communication—and how restoring that network can unlock radical resilience, deeper energy, and true longevity.

This episode was recorded at the 2025 Western Dairy Management Conference in Reno, Nevada. Dr. Sabine Mann, Cornell University; Dr. Will Mustas, Progressive Dairy Solutions; Dr. Don Niles, Dairy Dreams LLC; and Joey Airosa, Airosa Dairy Farms, introduce themselves. (0:48)Dr. Mann outlines the high points of her presentation. Giving an adequate amount of high-quality colostrum quickly after birth is essential to equip the calf with the best chances to stay healthy. Colostrum is more than a solution of water and immunoglobulins, and we are continuing to learn more about other nutrients and growth factors that colostrum contains. (12:03)Dr. Niles and Mr. Airosa talk about colostrum and maternity protocols on their dairies. Each has dedicated maternity staff in charge of postnatal calf care. Don mentions they often have public tours of their dairy and shares some anecdotes. Joey's maternity staff try to get colostrum in calves within 30 minutes of birth and have worked out a good communication system to ensure seamless calf care when shift changes occur. (13:57)Dr. Mann emphasizes the timing of colostrum delivery is critical. But what about the amount? Should every calf get four liters? Joey notes they bottle feed and have settled on three quarts for Holstein calves and two quarts for Jersey calves. Sabine says research backs that up - calves will not voluntarily drink much more than 3-3.5 liters. Using esophageal feeders to give four liters could be overfeeding in some cases, which could cause slower emptying of the stomach and thus slower arrival and uptake of immunoglobulins at the small intestine. The four liter recommendation came from the idea that good quality colostrum probably had about 50 grams per liter of IgG, and at that time, we wanted to get 200 grams into the calf. Perhaps making a sheet with recommended amounts based on calf weights could be helpful for maternity staff.  Dr. Mann also clarifies that the 50 grams per liter of IgG is not really good quality colostrum. Most herds average about 90-100 grams per liter of IgG in colostrum. She recommends every farm find out how good their colostrum is and optimize feeding amounts from there. (22:45)Dr. Mann notes the importance of making sure dry cows are not deficient in protein supply and ensuring the dry period is long enough to create high-quality colostrum. While it's commonly thought older cows have better colostrum than young cows, she underlines again the importance of measuring colostrum quality to know for sure. She also highly recommends measuring colostrum quality from individual cows before pooling so that poor colostrum does not dilute good colostrum. (31:04)Dr. Mustas shares some of the challenges he's seeing on dairies where he consults. What can we do to control the bacteriological quality of colostrum? He notes there's no reason we can't get very low bacteria counts pre-pasteurization. Making sure maternity areas are clean and sanitary, udders are prepped very well, and harvesting equipment is not neglected are all great strategies. (35:53)Dr. Mann talks about individual cow variation in colostrum production and some factors that might influence including placental interactions, hormones, and genetics. (38:04)Scott and Sabine discuss some of the research around supplementing with choline during the dry period and subsequent colostrum production. (41:28)Dr. Niles comments that pasteurization of colostrum has been one of the most exciting technologies to come along. On his farm, the pasteurizer has given them much more control over colostrum quality and delivery time. Dr. Mann agrees storage of colostrum has given dairies the ability to be strategic about how they use colostrum, what colostrum they use, and to also plan for seasonal colostrum shortages. She agrees with Dr. Mustas that clean colostrum harvesting equipment is key to low bacterial counts. (44:13)Dr. Mustas talks about how the beef-on-dairy phenomenon has altered colostrum protocols. Calf ranches are giving deductions for poor colostrum scores when calves are received. Some operations even offer premiums or discounts on daily yardage depending on individual calf colostrum scores. (50:21)Joey, Don, and Sabine comment on the importance of finding the right people to work in maternity and instilling the idea that taking care of cows and calves is both a great responsibility and a great honor. (52:56)The panel wraps up with their take-home thoughts.

Send us a textPlastic is everywhere. So are drug-resistant microbes.What happens when the two team up?A raft of new studies show that bacteria can grow well on plastics, especially on microplastics. Other studies show just how widespread microplastics are – they are found in every ocean and sea tested so far. The most startling studies show these tiny bits of plastics can also build up in the human body, including in the liver and brain.Science is done piece by piece, study by study, with no single study painting the whole picture. Now a team at Boston University has added one piece to the puzzle, with a study demonstrating that drug-resistant bacteria grow well on microplastics.Neila Gross, a PhD candidate at BU, helped lead the research. Her team confirmed that E. coli bacteria form mats known as biofilms especially well on microplastics. The team found that antibiotic-resistant bacteria grew better when they were grown on microplastics.This raises a specter of billions of tiny pieces of plastic spreading drug-resistant bacteria around the world and being ingested and breathed in by animals from shellfish to marine mammals and, likely, people.Listen as Neila chats with One World, One Health host Maggie Fox about how this happens and what it might mean for the spread of antimicrobial resistance.

What if your body was trying to tell you something about your state of health...through your blood? And not just through blood tests or "live blood analysis" but via a holographic image?! Adam and Josh Bigelsen are carrying on the important work of their father, Harvey Bigelsen, the author of "Holographic Blood" and "Doctors are More Harmful than Germs".   Today they help us wrap our head around the message(s) that our bodies want to communicate to us. They explain the patterns that the blood uses to tell us about our health. They also go over the progression of disease and how important it is to read the body's messages... and how you can you do so with or without a dark field microscopy instrument.   Visit the Bigelsens' website: Bigelsenacademy.com Register for the Wise Traditions conference at wisetraditions.org Check out our sponsors: Optimal Carnivore and Earth Runners

This episode was recorded at the 2025 Florida Ruminant Nutrition Symposium. Panelists Dr. John Goeser or Rock River Laboratory, Inc.; Dr. Bob Kozlowski, PAS of Dairy NExT, LLC and Dr. Tom Overton of Cornell University introduce themselves and give an overview of their backgrounds. (0:10)Dr. Goeser begins with three different ways to define forage quality: energetic potential, particle size as an interaction factor, and anti-nutritional components. He asks Dr. Kozlowski if these are the hot topics for his consulting clients. (6:53)When evaluating the energy potential in feed, Dr. Goeser states there's nothing new as far as measuring the nutrient content of feeds, but capturing the nutrient digestion potential in fiber, starch, and fatty acids is an area where we could stand to make sizable strides. We've been studying fiber and starch digestion for more than 50 years, and they're still really hard to measure because nutrient digestion potential is not linear. In the laboratory, ruminal fiber digestion is measured at many different time points to create curves, but if we want to get a good handle on the energy potential in feeds, we need to take a total digestible nutrients approach.  (9:31)Dr. Goeser feels there are more similarities between laboratories in quantifying fiber digestion potential, but there is little agreement among labs for starch digestion. Research shows that seven hour starch digestion is dramatically affected by laboratory technique and starch digestion curves also vary widely among labs. Dr. Overton commends the lab for diligently working to understand these dynamics. (14:31)From a fiber standpoint, Dr. Kozlowsk states that uNDF has probably been one of the most significant improvements in the tools he has to work with. He gives an example of cows on a 45% forage diet in the Southeast and cows on a 60% forage diet in the Northeast, both with similar uNDF concentrations. Those two groups of cows perform very similarly in terms of volume, fat and protein. (18:43)Dr. Overton asks both guests for their take on feed hygiene. Dr. Goeser feels that there is at least 10 times more to learn about feed hygiene compared to fiber and starch digestibility. Merging veterinary diagnostics with commercial nutrition laboratory work shows promise for solving undesirable mold, yeast, mycotoxin and bacteria issues in feeds. In case studies, he states there is never just one issue at play; there are two or three that may have negative associative effects with one another. Dr. Kozlowski has been seeing varietal-dependent corn silage DON toxin levels in the last few years. Dairies are now looking at all aspects of the agronomy program in addition to all the other assessments of NDF digestibility and starch. (20:33)Dr. Goeser goes on to describe some work on large dairies where they're finding hidden nutrient variation and starch and protein flux that happens within a 1-2 week period that we aren't able to capture with our current sampling techniques. For dairies feeding 2,000-15,000 cows, a diet formulation is on point today, but within that 1-2 week period at the volume of feed they're going through, the diet is now out of spec. However, it's not so out of line that the cows are giving feedback in terms of components or deviation in production or intake. (30:08)On the cow side, new technologies like SCR are allowing insights into rumination dynamics, which can be applied to feed formulation. Some silage choppers now have NIR units measuring silage quality during harvest. The panelists discuss what other technologies might be on the horizon, including on-farm NIR units on front-end loaders or mixer trucks. Dr. Goeser mentions some of the challenges with these technologies, including feed moisture levels interfering with equipment and lack of trust in technologies.

In 1933, within the quiet corridors of the palace of the Pakur Raj, a death of the young Raja stirred more than grief—it raised suspicions. What seemed at first a tragic illness soon unraveled into one of India's most chilling and unusual murder cases, when the Raja's own, elder half-brother was accused of using a deadly germ as a weapon, turning modern science into a tool of silent assassination. Beneath the surface of royal decorum lay a dark tale of betrayal, ambition, and microscopic murder. SOURCES Morrison, Dan (2024) The Prince & The Poisoner. The History Press, London, UK.

Story at-a-glance UTIs are one of the most overdiagnosed conditions in U.S. medicine, especially in seniors who often receive antibiotics without showing any infection symptoms Even in hospital settings, studies show overdiagnosis rates as high as 85% in some states, with three-quarters of patients labeled with UTIs lacking matching symptoms Many urine tests used to diagnose UTIs, such as checking for cloudy appearance or bacteria alone, are unreliable and often lead to unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions Bacteria in the urine without symptoms is common in older adults and catheter users, yet it's frequently mistaken for infection and overtreated You can reduce your UTI risk by eliminating CAFO meats, especially CAFO chicken, which often contain UTI-causing E. coli, practicing better hygiene, using methylene blue, optimizing sun exposure, and grounding in the ocean to support cellular energy

Quick links: Summer R&R 1 at White Sulphur Springs All Summer R&R sessions at WSS All Summer Celebrations at Spring Canyon The Starting Point Project website   Episode summary: In this bonus episode, Jay Seegert, managing director of the Starting Point Project, shares his journey from a Christian upbringing to becoming a prominent speaker on defending the Christian worldview. He discusses the importance of understanding the differences between a biblical and a Christian worldview, emphasizing the need for clarity in definitions to engage in meaningful discussions. Jay also highlights the challenges of defending faith in a secular environment and the significance of grounding beliefs in Scripture rather than external influences. In this conversation, Jay and Crosspoint host Josh Jackson explore the relationship between science and the Christian worldview, addressing skepticism, the purpose of defending faith, and the importance of gentleness in apologetics. They emphasize that understanding Scripture does not require extensive scientific knowledge and that foundational questions about God's existence and the Bible's inspiration are crucial for Christians. The discussion highlights the need for respectful dialogue and the power of God's Word in addressing doubts and skepticism. There's also discussion on the intersection of science, faith, and the interpretation of Biblical texts regarding the age of the Earth, the concept of death, and the existence of dinosaurs. Jay emphasizes the importance of understanding one's beliefs and the implications of those beliefs on one's worldview. Listeners also will hear more about the Starting Point Project, which aims to help individuals explore their foundational beliefs and engage in meaningful conversations about faith and science.

In this episode:00:46 Newly discovered molecule shows potent antibiotic activityResearchers have identified a new molecule with antibiotic activity against a range of disease-causing bacteria, including those resistant to existing drugs. The new molecule — isolated from soil samples taken from a laboratory technician's garden — is called lariocidin due to its lasso-shaped structure. The team say that in addition to its potent antibiotic activity, the molecule also shows low toxicity towards human cells, making it a promising molecule in the fight against drug-resistant infections.Research Article: Jangra et al.09:36 Research HighlightsA reduction in ships' sulfur emissions linked to a steep drop in thunderclouds, and the epic sea-voyage that let iguanas reach Fiji.Research Highlight: Ship-pollution cuts have an electrifying effect: less lightning at seaResearch Highlight: Iguanas reached Fiji by floating 8,000 kilometres across the sea13:54 Assessing the nuances of humans' biodiversity impactsA huge study analysing data from thousands of research articles has shown that the human impacts on biodiversity are large but are in some cases context dependent. The new study reveals that at larger scales, communities of living things are becoming more similar due to human influence, but at the smaller scale they are becoming more different. "These are generally unwanted effects on biodiversity," says study author Florian Altermatt, "this is one more very strong argument that stopping and reducing these pressures to halt and reverse biodiversity declines is needed."Research article: Keck et al.21:45 Briefing ChatHow a proposed green-energy facility in Chile could increase light pollution at one of the world's most powerful telescopes, and how a calving Antarctic iceberg revealed an unseen aquatic ecosystem.Nature: Light pollution threatens fleet of world-class telescopes in Atacama DesertScientific American: Stunning Antarctic Sea Creatures Discovered after Iceberg Breaks AwaySubscribe to Nature Briefing, an unmissable daily round-up of science news, opinion and analysis free in your inbox every weekday.

Bacteria called group B Streptococcus (group B strep, GBS) commonly live in people's gastrointestinal and genital tracts. The gastrointestinal tract is the part of the body that digests food and includes the stomach and intestines. The genital tract is the part of the body involved in reproduction and includes the vagina in women. Most of the time the bacteria are not harmful and do not make people feel sick or have any symptoms. Sometimes the bacteria invade the body and cause certain infections, which are known as GBS disease. ​ GBS bacteria can cause many types of infections: Bacteremia (bloodstream infection) and sepsis (the body's extreme response to an infection) Bone and joint infections Meningitis (infection of the tissue covering the brain and spinal cord) Pneumonia (lung infection) Skin and soft-tissue infections GBS most commonly causes bacteremia, sepsis, pneumonia, and meningitis in newborns. It is very uncommon for GBS to cause meningitis in adults. (CDC)

Jacob Diaz challenges germ theory and explores the history of terrain theory, explaining why bacteria are essential for health and how symptoms indicate healing rather than disease. He breaks down misconceptions in virology, the suppression of holistic medicine, and how illnesses like chickenpox, lyme disease, and the black plague can be understood through the terrain perspective.

Dairy is noted as the most highly allergenic food by the CDC - but why is that? Is dairy really the problem, or is it pasteurization practices? On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared interviews Mark McAfee, CEO of Raw Farm, discussing the misconceptions surrounding dairy. They explore the history and impact of pasteurization, and the importance of understanding raw milk as a living food that has been depended on by humans for more than 10,000 years. You'll learn about the benefits of raw dairy for the gut microbiome and immune system, particularly in relation to autoimmune diseases and skin conditions, as well as the importance of living bacteria and bioactive compounds in raw dairy. Jared and Mark discuss the importance of high standards in raw dairy production and the political landscape affecting raw milk regulations.Additional Information:#483: Raw Milk and Other Real Foods Are Making a Comeback, with Sally Fallon MorellVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Story at-a-glance Research found that higher levels of harmful bacteria (Prevotella intermedia) in the mouth are linked to cognitive impairment, while beneficial bacteria (Neisseria and Haemophilus) support better brain function Nitric oxide production by beneficial oral bacteria plays a crucial role in maintaining blood flow to the brain. Nitrate-rich vegetables help boost the population of these healthy bacteria People with the APOE4 gene show a distinct oral microbiome composition. Research shows they have lower levels of Neisseria bacteria and higher amounts of Prevotella, which is associated with increased dementia risk Harmful oral bacteria have the ability to enter the bloodstream and cross the blood-brain barrier, leading to brain inflammation that results in cognitive decline Maintaining oral health through proper diet, regular brushing and flossing, nose breathing, avoiding antibacterial mouthwash and practicing oil pulling are effective strategies against cognitive decline
