While Elsevier's most recent Clinician of the Future Report shows increasing adoption of artificial intelligence tools among physicians and nurses, and optimism that they will improve quality of care in the future, a majority raised concerns about trust and reliability. To increase the level of trust, 60% said transparent citations of evidence-based and peer-reviewed research will be key. How to provide that transparency is our focus today as Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith welcomes Elsevier colleagues Rhett Alden and Raman Kaur to guide us through the complexities involved, including the concept of traceability and what role it plays in how AI tools such as Elsevier's ClinicalKey AI are built and deployed.  “Traceability changes the confidence that a clinician has in an AI tool so that they aren't trusting the AI, they're trusting the underlying evidence they're consuming from the AI-assisted platform,” says Raman, who brings years of experience as a primary care practitioner to her work.  It's also important, Rhett adds, to provide additional information, pulled from both the clinician's query and the patient's medical record, to inform clinical thinking. “ClinicalKey AI can be more than a response engine by establishing a larger context to provide a more precise answer for that individual patient.” In this thought-provoking discussion, these experts also provide insights on: Mitigating bias in AI results; Using AI responsibly with sustainability in mind; What type of clinician will benefit most from AI Mentioned in this episode: ClinicalKey AI Clinician of the Future Report If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Coding the Invisible: Emily Mendenhall

In 2020, Emily Mendenhall drove from Washington, DC to Okoboji, Iowa, a town of 800 that swells to 200,000 every summer, and walked into a pandemic that looked nothing like the one dominating national headlines. Inside gas stations and bars, masks marked you as an outsider. In one stop, a man told her family they would not be served if they kept theirs on. Her 6 year old daughter cried, confused. Mendenhall, a medical anthropologist at Georgetown University, did what she always does. She started asking questions. Over months, she interviewed neighbors, former classmates, and local officials, including her own brother in law who helped lead the local COVID response. The result became Unmasked, a case study in how community identity, economics, and politics shaped public health decisions in real time. That work led directly into her latest book, Invisible Illness: A History, from Hysteria to Long COVID, where she tracks a much older problem. Patients with chronic illness, especially women, often fail to meet medicine's demand for proof. Without a clear diagnosis, they lose access to care, insurance coverage, and legitimacy. Mendenhall argues that long COVID did not create this failure. It exposed it.This conversation centers on how healthcare systems reward certainty and punish complexity. Long COVID clinics send patients to 17 specialists without resolution. Insurance structures require diagnoses that many conditions cannot provide. Medical training still struggles to integrate trauma, mental health, and chronic disease into a coherent model of care.Mendenhall brings lived experience into the conversation. After COVID, she dealt with months of fatigue and escalating anxiety that altered her baseline health. She does not claim the label of long COVID, but she understands how quickly the system becomes harder to navigate once symptoms stop fitting clean categories. The stakes are not theoretical. In the United States, access to healthcare, disability benefits, and treatment still depends on whether a condition can be measured, coded, and reimbursed. For millions living with invisible illness, the burden of proof becomes the illness itself.RELATED LINKSEmily MendenhallInvisible Illness: A History, from Hysteria to Long COVIDScience PoliticsGeorgetown UniversityFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Proof that Fauci funded lab research that sparked COVID; Canadian Parliament passes anti-Bible bill; James Talarico: God is non-binary; Jesus does not call us to worship Him

It's Monday, June 22nd, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Canadian Parliament passes anti-Bible bill Sadly, Canada's Parliament passed the anti-Bible bill. LifeSiteNews.com reports that a final attempt to stop Bill C-9 was defeated. The bill, which threatens to criminalize quoting parts of the Bible, including on homosexuality, will soon become law. On Wednesday, June 17, a majority of Members of Parliament voted down an attempt by conservative Andrew Lawton to stop Bill C-9 “once and for all.” In an X post, he wrote, that the liberals “voted down my motion to withdraw the divisive and toxic Bill C-9 to stand up for freedom of expression and freedom of religion.”  Another conservative Member of Parliament, Brad Redekopp, called the official passage of Bill C-9 a “dark day” for Canada and religious freedom. The bill was introduced by Justice Minister Sean Fraser last year. Specifically, Bill C-9 would remove Section 319(3)(b) of Canada's Criminal Code.  That's the section which protects the good-faith expression of a person's religious views based on religious texts such as the Holy Bible. Galatians 6:7 declares, “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked.” Proof that Fauci funded lab research that sparked COVID A trove of communications and documents released by outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard show that Dr. Anthony Fauci “provided millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research” on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and that Fauci “lied to Congress,” reports LifeSiteNews.com. In a viral overnight social media video on June 19th already seen by millions, Gabbard made this announcement. GABBARD: “Before the COVID pandemic, Dr. Fauci, as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, provided millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, work which is now widely viewed as the source of the unintentional lab leak that sparked the pandemic. “Now, in support of President Trump's maximum transparency mandate, today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I'm releasing never-before-seen communications and documents that expose exactly how Fauci worked with politicized career leadership in the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions, the virus's lab leak origins, and his role in directing U.S. funding for this dangerous research that caused immeasurable harm and countless lost lives. “Now, these documents expose Fauci's direct role in influencing and manipulating [Intelligence Community] assessments on COVID 19, and how Fauci lied to Congress in 2024 when, under oath, he denied knowledge of or participation in discussions with intelligence officials about viral research.” Dr. Fauci's close Intelligence Community relationships enabled him to “assume three key roles during the pandemic that shielded him from scrutiny as he wielded outsized influence.” First, Fauci funded risky coronavirus research linked to Big Pharma and the pursuit of “universal vaccines” worth trillions of dollars. Second, Fauci was the behind-the-scenes advisor who, with his hand-picked experts, pushed the Intelligence Community to endorse a natural, animal origin to hide his dangerous research. And third, Fauci became the nation's pandemic “pundit” and publicly pushed lies, disinformation, and censorship. GOP Senator: Trump's peace deal with Iran seemed elusive Appearing on Fox News Channel on June 17th, Republican Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, expressed his approval of the deal that President Donald Trump negotiated with Iran, reports RealClearPolitics.com. SCHMITT:  “The president of the United States, President Trump, was very clear from the get-go what the mission here was, which was to ensure that Iran would never have a nuclear weapon. They have no ability to do that. And they're signing on the dotted line now, Sean, for the first time, that they're not going to do that. “And we don't need to trust them. We just need to verify that. Effectively, the president knocked out their military capability. Their Navy is at the bottom of the sea. They have no air defense. Their nuclear program is in shambles. It's nowhere near ever being started up again. And we can always go back and mow the lawn, if necessary, because we've got eyes on it. “The president has provided now, through all of that action, space for diplomacy. That has always been his North Star. There's always more things to do. We need to make sure, obviously, we're verifying all of this. But the president has pulled off something here that most experts, six months ago, wouldn't have thought was possible. And I think it's good for the American people.” FBI foiled terrorist plot against UFC 250 event at White House A terror plot targeting the Ultimate Fighting Championship event at the White House on June 14th reportedly involved those who were ready to deploy snipers and drones armed with explosives to carry out a mass casualty attack against U.S. government officials. In a June 16th statement, FBI Director Kash Patel said his agency and its law enforcement partners became aware of the potential threat on June 10. He confirmed that authorities stopped the alleged plot before it began. Patel said, "Thanks to the rapid action of this FBI, our partners, and the Department of Justice in a multi-state operation, multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks were stopped cold. “We are built to detect, respond to, and bring to justice those who threaten the lives of American citizens — particularly during large gatherings like the historic UFC 250 fight" which drew 85,000 people to the Ellipse. James Talarico: God is non-binary; Jesus does not call us to worship Him And finally, James Talarico, the Texas Democrat candidate in the U.S. Senate race against Republican Ken Paxton, has made some bizarre claims about God and Jesus. Listen. TALARICO:  “God is both masculine and feminine, and everything in between. God is non-binary.” And here's what Talarico said about Jesus. TALARICO: “Not once in the entire Bible does Jesus ask us to worship Him. All He asks is that we follow Him.” Pastor Josh Howerton, Senior Pastor of Lakepointe Church in Dallas, Texas, called James Talarico a heretic. HOWERTON: “The whole last book of the Bible is the Lamb is seated on the throne with more people than anybody can count bowing down and worshiping Him, throwing crowns before Him. And then anybody who won't do that, He's throwing them into the lake of fire. “This is not me being mean or exaggerating: he's an actual heretic, like a biblically-defined false teacher and heretic. “Politicians, since the beginning of time, have been twisting Scripture, using Scripture to try to convince people to do what they want. This is the first guy I've ever seen whose whole platform is using the Bible to convince Christians to support godless things.” Revelation 5:13 says, “Then I heard every creature in Heaven and on Earth and under the Earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, June 22nd, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Everyone is talking right now about the explosive closing shot that Tulsi Gabbard was instructed to level against Anthony Fauci as she was being forced out of office. Bringing Anthony Fauci to justice is quite tantalizing indeed, I'm all for it. But wait a second. If Fauci is the perfect villain, Operation Warp Speed is the evidence that the villain didn't act alone. The Deep State pushed it, Big Pharma profited, social media censored it, and Biden may have mandated. But, but, but… Trump rushed it, promoted it, and claimed credit for it as the ‘Father of the Vaccine'. You cannot take down Fauci without implicating the people who made his reign of terror possible, people like Donald John Trump.“A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.” Proverbs 19:5 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Donald Trump did not merely allow the vaccine program to happen. He championed it. He branded Operation Warp Speed as one of the greatest achievements of his presidency. He wanted credit for compressing years of vaccine development into months. He even allowed himself to be called, and reportedly called himself, the “father of the vaccine.” That phrase may haunt him more than anything else in the COVID record. Because if the mRNA rollout is now part of the reckoning — and it must be — then Trump is not standing outside the scandal pointing in, he is standing inside the room. Fauci may be the face of the lockdowns and the public-health arrogance, but Trump is the man who took ownership of the rushed and quite deadly vaccine program that became the foundation for the mandates, the pressure campaigns, the censorship of injured people, and the destruction of trust in American medicine. Trump can rage against Fauci. He can release documents. He can blame Biden's pardon. He can even say the Deep State protected the guilty. But he cannot easily explain away the fact that he still wants applause for Operation Warp Speed. He wants to condemn the COVID regime while preserving his trophy from that same regime. That, dear Christian, is a politically fatal contradiction. Today we bring you Tulsi Gabbard's last message in its entirety, and revisit the dark time in world history that will be forever known as The Plannedemic.

Jordan Sather and Nate Prince are back in a pre-recorded episode packed with substance. Nearly two thirds of American men are overweight or obese, but for the first time in 50 years obesity rates have ticked down. Is it MAHA, peptides, or just economic stress cutting back the Cheez-It budget? RFK sends a formal letter demanding answers from a medical journal that quietly removed a study linking vaccines to SIDS, and Big Pharma's media allies are furious that someone had the audacity to ask why. Ron Johnson and Rand Paul keep pressing on COVID shot injuries while legacy media stays conspicuously silent. Nineteen medical schools just signed a nutrition education pledge requiring 40 hours of training as a graduation standard. The US lost 140,000 farms and 20 million acres between 2017 and 2022, and Jordan has thoughts about developers, HOA lawns, and the slow death of the American farmer.

It's been one year since the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in an unprecedented move, dismissed all the members of its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), kicking off what would turn out to be a very concerning and busy year for infectious disease specialists.  We're going to recap this turbulent period – which includes a resurgence of measles, an unusually rough flu season, the emergence of a new COVID strain and outbreaks of hantavirus and Ebola – with Dr. William Schaffner, one of the country's most frequently quoted medical experts on infectious disease, vaccination, and public health. As a member of ACIP for decades, Dr. Schaffner brings unique insight into the dismantling of the committee and the distrust of vaccines that lies at the root of the changes. As he explains to Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith, while many vaccine critics are beyond reach, there are those he describes as vaccine hesitant that may be persuadable if the right approach is taken. “Beyond providing facts, we have to listen to them and respond to their concerns and make them feel comfortable. Information is fundamental, but behavior change only comes with a change in attitude.” Tune in for a wealth of wisdom and context that includes observations on: What's complicating containment of the Ebola outbreak; Challenges in public health communication in the current social media environment; What grade health authorities should get on their response to the hantavirus outbreak.

At 25, Jace Yawnick was building a career in health and wellness sales, chasing growth, status, and the usual young adult fantasy of getting somewhere fast. Then his body stopped cooperating. Fatigue turned into chemotherapy. The diagnosis was primary mediastinal B cell non Hodgkin lymphoma, and the rest of his life split into before and after. Now in remission, he talks about cancer the way people actually live it, not the way nonprofits package it. He gets into survivorship, mental health, young adult isolation, and the deadening absurdity of prior authorization. One of the sharpest parts of the conversation lands on a simple American insult disguised as policy: treatment innovation means very little when insurance can still deny the scan, the drug, or the next step. Jace has seen that firsthand, including during routine monitoring after active treatment. This episode tracks what happens when a young cancer patient becomes a public voice and refuses to play mascot. It covers oncology, insurance, remission, advocacy, and the long mental hangover that follows survival. It also names the part too many institutions dodge: the system works great right up until it doesn't, and when it fails, patients get handed the bill, the panic, and a camera if they want anyone to care.

John Medina's short film, The Cure Complex, explores the epidemic of drug addiction in prison and the systemic failures that perpetuate Substance Use Disorder (SUD) in the prison system. "Recovery is an industry, and industries need customers. Rehabs don't succeed when people move on, they succeed when people stay," says Medina, whose own journey through addiction and incarceration motivated him to be an agent of change. His film highlights the importance of addressing the root causes of substance use — including trauma, poverty and isolation. Nationally, approximately 58% of the US prison population has active SUD. In California, where Medina's film is based, it's 65%. Yet, treatment behind bars is limited, inconsistent and often deadly. Only 15% of those assessed as needing help actually receive it. "True recovery isn't about quitting something, it's about building something,” says Medina. By investing in people, not just prescriptions, we can build more humane and effective pathways to healing addiction and staying clean, so that people can move onto meaningful and productive lives. Sadly, the current system, through ineffective, "evidence-based" practices, actually keeps people dependent on substances from which Big Pharma extracts enormous profit. Medina's raw and touching film uncovers how these profit-driven systems trap individuals in cycles of dependency through fear and control instead of empowering them to rebuild their lives. The film champions new and humane healing models that prioritize promoting self worth and purpose to manifest  healing and dignity. Medina is a proud Film Ambassador with Represent Justice, and The Cure Complex was selected to be one of five Represent Justice films streamed on Tubi to 100 million viewers. Watch The Cure Complex here!Have a Swan Dive to share?

Episode Summary: Matthew Geiger sits down with Stephan Kinsella for a deep, wide-ranging conversation covering Kinsella's personal journey into libertarianism, the philosophical foundations of libertarian thought, the critical importance of property rights, the case against intellectual property, generational challenges, technological disruption, foreign policy critiques, and an optimistic long-term vision for human freedom. Topics & Timestamps Introduction 0:00 Matthew Geiger welcomes listeners to the Menger Institute podcast and introduces Stephan Kinsella as a retired patent attorney and libertarian writer. Kinsella expresses his excitement about the conversation. How Stephan Kinsella Discovered Libertarianism 0:19 Matthew Geiger asks Kinsella to share his personal story, including his work with Murray Rothbard and Hans-Hermann Hoppe. Kinsella recounts growing up in a conservative Louisiana household with little political or economic knowledge. A librarian gave him The Fountainhead in high school, sparking his interest in philosophy, individualism, and free-market economics. He read voraciously, quickly became a libertarian, then an Austrian, and eventually an anarchist during college and law school. He practiced oil & gas, international, and eventually patent law for 30 years while pursuing libertarian theory as an avocation, attending Mises Institute events since 1995. Libertarian vs. Anarchist: Definitions and Preferences 2:17 Matthew Geiger asks about the distinction between calling oneself a libertarian versus an anarchist. Kinsella explains different axes of libertarianism (activism vs. theory vs. personal conduct) and argues that libertarianism is a consistent extension of classical liberalism centered on self-ownership and Lockean property rights. He details why the Non-Aggression Principle (NAP) is actually a shorthand for a deeper cluster of property rules — homesteading, contract, and rectification — rather than a standalone axiom. He makes the case that the most consistent libertarians are anarchists, while minarchists are libertarians with an asterisk, and classical liberals are close intellectual cousins but not true libertarians. Matthew Geiger on Labels and Consistency 10:19 Matthew Geiger shares his own thoughts on the dilution of the term “libertarian” and his preference for “anarchist.” He discusses taking the label back from the left and echoes Hoppe's view that the state is always socialist. Geiger and Kinsella agree that the most principled position is anarcho-libertarianism (or Austro-libertarianism), which recognizes the natural emergence of hierarchy, authority, norms, and social consequences in a free society — things many modern libertarians mistakenly reject. Younger Generations, Cultural Shifts, and Advice 13:23 Matthew Geiger asks about cultural and political trends among younger generations, referencing Javier Milei's popularity, and requests advice for them. Kinsella sympathizes with Gen Z and Millennials, blaming previous generations for poor education, inflation, debt, and making normal life unaffordable. He advises libertarians to adopt a long-term perspective, read Albert Jay Nock's Isaiah's Job, focus on being part of the “remnant,” maintain balance in life (career, finances, family), and avoid burning out on short-term activism. He also reflects on how the libertarian movement has grown larger, more international, and more radical since the 2008 Ron Paul campaign, though newer adherents tend to be less well-read. Optimism About Technology, Fragmentation, and the Future 21:40 Matthew Geiger expresses optimism about technology, the internet, AI, and the erosion of state monopolies on force and information. Kinsella shares a cautious but ultimately hopeful outlook. He discusses the benefits of media fragmentation (less centralized propaganda), the logic of Bitcoin succeeding on its own merits rather than activism, and why liberty, if achieved, will be because it is natural and inevitable. He touches on the Fermi paradox and great filter while maintaining long-term civilizational optimism. Foreign Policy, Economics, and IP Imperialism 31:59 Matthew Geiger circles back to connections between culture, foreign policy, and monetary policy, critiquing U.S. aid to Israel and mercantilist justifications. Kinsella delivers a sharp analysis of Pax Americana, dollar hegemony, the military-industrial complex, and how the U.S. exports inflation while benefiting certain industries. He describes “IP imperialism” — patents and copyrights — as tools that allow Hollywood, Big Pharma, and defense contractors to extract wealth from the rest of the world. Stephan Kinsella on Decentralization, IP, and the Future of the State 36:14 The conversation continues with Matthew Geiger noting decentralization in music production. Kinsella explains how technology (internet, streaming, piracy) has already weakened copyright and predicts 3D printing, robotics, and AI could eventually undermine pharmaceutical patents. He launches into a passionate critique of intellectual property as one of the most anti-libertarian, innovation-harming policies in existence. He envisions technology enabling greater self-sufficiency, causing the state to gradually wither away like the British monarchy — becoming largely ceremonial while private enterprise and civil society take over most functions. Kinsella ends on a hopeful, if long-term, note about humanity maturing beyond tribalism and primitive superstitions. Closing Thoughts and Resources 55:08 Stephan Kinsella promotes the Property and Freedom Society's annual conference in Turkey, the new book Rothbard at 100, and his “Universal Principles of Liberty” project (a concise statement of libertarian legal principles). Matthew Geiger thanks Kinsella and expresses interest in attending future events.

Transcript Introduction 0:00 Matthew Geiger: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Menger Institute podcast. We have a very special guest. We have with us a retired patent attorney and libertarian writer, Stephan Kinsella. Welcome to the Menger Institute podcast. Stephan Kinsella: Thanks for having me. Yeah, I'm very excited to talk to you. How Stephan Kinsella Discovered Libertarianism 0:19 Matthew Geiger: I want to begin, I think, with how you got into libertarianism, your work with Murray Rothbard and Hans-Hermann Hoppe, and yeah if you could tell us your story. Stephan Kinsella: Well I am, as you mentioned, retired. I did patent law, I did various types of law for about 30 years in private practice in the US: oil and gas law first and then international law and then patent law. So I've done a variety. In the later part a lot of high-tech law. But on the side, I also did a lot of libertarian writing and thinking because I've been interested in it since about high school. I am from Louisiana. I just came from a conservative household but had zero political or economic knowledge or even historical knowledge. But a librarian gave me The Fountainhead to read in high school and I read it and that got me interested in philosophy and free market economics and individualism. So I started reading voraciously and very soon became a libertarian and then of course reading the Austrians like Mises and Rothbard and the others pretty soon became an Austrian libertarian and then an anarchist. And I've been like that since college or law school. In law school and after I started trying to expand or develop the theories I've been reading to make some progress where I thought I could. And so that's sort of been my avocation all these years as a lawyer and now it's my main hobby or interest. So that's how I got interested in it and I started attending Mises Institute events in 1995 and did that for many years. Libertarian vs. Anarchist: Definitions and Preferences 2:17 Matthew Geiger: This may be a question of semantics but you say libertarian and I want to know what your distinction is or preference for describing yourself as libertarian or anarchist. Stephan Kinsella: Yes, I've always been, so in my view there are two types of libertarians in the sense of your interest. One is activism, that is being part of some movement trying to make change, and then the other is just being interested in the ideas, and then the other is just being a libertarian, like acting in a peaceful way and following those rules....

At 20 years old, newly arrived from Puerto Rico and trying to build a future in science, Benjamin Suarez Jimenez found himself sitting in front of two senior faculty members accused of plagiarism. He knew the material. He had done the work. His mistake came from failing to cite class notes during an exam because nobody had told him that was expected. In a matter of minutes, he watched what felt like his entire career flash before him.On this episode of Standard Deviation, host Oliver Bogler examines the hidden architecture of academic science through the experiences of Dr. Benjamin Suarez Jimenez, Assistant Professor at the University of Rochester and a neuroscientist studying PTSD, anxiety, trauma, and spatial cognition through virtual reality and video game environments.Benjamin traces his path from Puerto Rico to the mainland United States, through the NIH, Columbia University, and eventually to leading his own laboratory. Along the way, he encountered a series of barriers that had little to do with scientific ability and everything to do with access to unwritten rules. From academic gatekeeping to grant writing expectations, he learned that success in biomedical research often depends on knowledge that never appears in a textbook.Oliver explores how those invisible obstacles shape careers, influence research funding, and determine who gains access to opportunity. The conversation also examines the Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Program at the Life Science Editors Foundation, which pairs scientists from underrepresented backgrounds with experienced scientific editors. Through that mentorship, Benjamin transformed a critical grant proposal into a successful pilot award that helped launch an NIH R01 application.The discussion extends beyond one scientist's experience. Benjamin describes helping a former mentee navigate dissertation roadblocks that threatened her graduation, illustrating how institutional bureaucracy can delay careers and discourage talented researchers. Together, they explore the hidden administrative burden, cultural barriers, and bias that many scientists carry alongside their research, and what happens when someone who receives support turns around and opens the door for others.RELATED LINKSLife Science Editors FoundationBenjamin Suarez Jimenez LabDr. Benjamin Suarez JimenezBenjamin Suarez JimenezFEEDBACKLike this episode?

The Biden border crisis isn't just about crime, drugs, and national security anymore. Now America's ranchers, farmers, pet owners, and even families are facing a new threat: the flesh-eating New World screwworm. After years of an open southern border and unchecked migration from regions where this parasite remains a serious problem, the New World screwworm has now been confirmed inside the United States. The parasite burrows into living tissue, literally eating its host alive. Federal officials are scrambling to contain the outbreak as cases emerge in Texas and New Mexico. But here's where the story gets even more interesting. The same drug the media, Big Pharma, and the political left spent years demonizing, ivermectin, is now being used as a weapon against the screwworm. In fact, federal authorities have authorized ivermectin-based treatments to help prevent and combat New World screwworm infestations in livestock. So will the people who mocked ivermectin finally admit they were wrong? Or will politics continue to trump science? And that's not all. A new observational study examining cancer patients using ivermectin and mebendazole reported an 84% clinical benefit rate, fueling even more questions about whether these inexpensive drugs have far more potential than we've been led to believe. While more research is needed, the findings are impossible to ignore. Plus, protect yourself and your family with emergency medical kits and wellness products from TWC Health.

Dr. Sarah Matt trained as a burn surgeon, working in a field where patients arrive with catastrophic injuries and survival depends on speed, skill, and resources. She left the bedside after confronting a limit that medicine does not like to admit. One physician can only see so many people in a day. The system surrounding those patients decides the rest. She moved into health technology, held leadership roles in startups, and built global infrastructure at Oracle to scale care across populations. Then she watched billions of dollars in digital health and AI initiatives stall out when they hit real clinical environments.This episode follows that pivot from surgeon to strategist and back into direct patient care in rural New York, where she now treats uninsured patients, migrant workers, and communities pushed to the margins. The conversation centers on a persistent failure across healthcare systems. Products get built for regulators, executives, and investors instead of the people who use them. The result shows up in failed adoption, broken workflows, prior authorization delays, and rising physician burnout.The discussion cuts through health policy language and lands on lived consequence. The system rewards speed over usability, scale over trust, and compliance over care. Patients absorb the fallout. Physicians carry the liability. The incentives remain intact.RELATED LINKSDr. Sarah MattThe Borderless Healthcare RevolutionThe Clinical RealistJessica FedererSovatoFEEDBACKLike this episode?

As concerns escalate about the deadly Ebola virus outbreak in Africa, we bring you the unique insights of Dr. Peter Piot, a renowned microbiologist who co-discovered the virus 50 years ago during the first recorded outbreak of the disease. His on-the-ground account of that crisis was provided to us in April before the current outbreak was declared, but it contains valuable historical perspective and shares lessons learned that he carried forward in his consequential career.  “What I saw from the beginning is the most important thing is to listen to people and that you need to act fast to save lives, before you have the evidence you would like to have.”    He followed his contributions on Ebola by diving into the fight against HIV/AIDS, eventually reshaping global response in leadership roles at the World Health Organization and United Nations. As he shares with host Lindsey Smith, the learnings in that case were more pragmatic than scientific. “We had to redefine HIV/AIDS not as a medical problem but as an economic and security problem in order to get it on the political agenda.”  Tune in for a fascinating episode that takes you from the gritty frontlines of public health crises to the battles for funding and attention in the halls of power as Dr. Piot shares what it actually takes to move the world to respond effectively to health threats.

In the late 1980s, a child exposed to fallout from the Chernobyl disaster lay in a hospital bed while doctors told his family there were no clear answers and no reliable path forward. Decades later, that same child, Yan Leyfman, walks into exam rooms as a hematology oncology fellow, expected to deliver clarity inside a system that still runs on delay, uncertainty, and institutional self preservation.This episode traces the throughline from early life shaped by radiation exposure and hospice level uncertainty to a career inside academic medicine, translational research, and oncology media. Yan built his identity around survival and usefulness, moving from patient to physician while carrying the memory of what it feels like to sit on the other side of the table. He helped launch MedNews Week during the COVID crisis to push back on misinformation and expand access to medical knowledge, stepping into a public role while still in training.The conversation stays grounded in the friction between personal narrative and system reality. Clinical training demands efficiency, hierarchy, and emotional distance. Cancer care demands time, clarity, and human connection. Those forces collide in real patient encounters where prior authorization delays, insurance barriers, and fragmented care pathways shape outcomes as much as any treatment protocol.Yan speaks openly about mentorship, belonging, and the drive to make meaning out of survival. The discussion pushes further into what the healthcare system actually rewards, what it quietly strips away, and how quickly empathy can erode under institutional pressure. The episode also examines the role of medical media, where education, industry influence, and narrative control often blur together.This is a conversation about identity under construction, about what happens when someone who remembers powerlessness steps into a role that carries authority, and about whether that memory can survive long enough to change anything.RELATED LINKSYan Leyfman on LinkedInYan Leyfman on InstagramSurviving ChernobylFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Kim Rogers (aka 'Worm Queen') is the co-founder and CEO of RogersHood Apothecary, a wellness company specializing in herbal detox and cleansing kits.  You can purchase her best-selling Parasite ParaFy Cleanse Kit here. EPISODE SUMMARY BELOW-- I. Apothecary vs Pharmacy Discussion Nate and Kim discussed the origins and meanings of the words "apothecary" and "pharmacy," with Kim explaining how apothecary refers to natural herbal medicine while pharmacy refers to synthetic medications. Kim shared her experience going viral on TikTok in 2021 as the "worm queen" after discovering a parasite cleanse that helped resolve health issues she had been struggling with since 2019. II. Parasite Cleanse Business Journey Kim shared her journey from a 18-year career in Western medicine to creating her own parasite cleanse business after gaining significant TikTok fame when a video about deworming went viral, increasing her following from 10,000 to 210,000 in just two days. She discussed how she later discovered she had chronic Lyme disease undiagnosed for 30 years and mold poisoning, which led her to create additional health products including a Moldies kit. Kim explained that while she was a licensed medical specialist, she carefully avoids giving medical advice on her social media, instead sharing her personal experiences and what herbs have helped her, noting that TikTok later changed its community guidelines to restrict parasite cleansing content. III. Social Media Content Suppression Kim discussed her experience with social media suppression on TikTok and Instagram, where her content was significantly limited despite having 600,000 followers on TikTok. Despite the platform restrictions, Kim continued creating content daily across multiple platforms including Instagram, YouTube, and a podcast called "What's Eating You," with the goal of providing affordable and accurate testing for parasites, mold, and Lyme disease. She explained that her mission is driven by personal experience with health issues that altered her life, and she has expanded from a small shop to a 14,000 square foot facility while offering free educational content alongside her paid testing kits. IV. Kim's Health Advocacy Challenges Kim discussed her challenges fighting against Big Pharma, including being banned from 26 accounts over five years while building a following of 1.5 million across platforms. She shared her personal health struggles with chronic Lyme disease and PTSD from medical neglect, while continuing to advocate for alternative treatments including acupuncture, IVs, and red light therapy. The conversation included a detailed explanation of Kim's viral podcast clip about treating pinworms using scotch tape, which led to a broader discussion about the limitations of Western medicine and the need for comprehensive treatment approaches. V. Parasite Diagnosis and Treatment Challenges Kim and Nate discussed modern medicine's approach to treating health issues, with Kim sharing her experience of being diagnosed with worms and cryptosporidium parvium after catching them from water in Hoodsport, Washington. Kim explained that standard labs in the US failed to detect these parasites, requiring her to send samples to Mexico for proper diagnosis. She described the challenges of getting treatment approved by insurance due to the lack of domestic lab confirmation, and how her husband's treatment was denied despite the Mexican lab results showing his condition. VI. Lyme Disease Treatment Approaches Kim discussed her experiences with a controversial drug ending in "mectin" and explained the importance of using binders when taking it, as the drug kills parasites and releases toxins that need to be neutralized. She described how synthetic drugs like Iver work to break down biofilms and expose parasites, while also explaining her herbal approach that includes specific frequency-matched herbs to target different ailments. Kim revealed she was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2023 after being bitten by ticks at age 11, and shared her experience of having worms come out through her skin and urine. VII. Chronic Illness and Medical Journey Kim shared her experience with chronic illness, including being diagnosed with Lyme disease, which she described as creating a "mirror" that masks other health issues like mold, parasites, and heavy metals from the immune system. She explained how medical professionals often dismissed her concerns about unusual tissue findings during surgeries, attributing them to normal inflammation or scar tissue. Kim ultimately chose to surrender her medical license to avoid the constraints of conventional medical practice and pursue alternative approaches to healing. VIII. Heavy Metal Detox and Health Kim explained how heavy metals enter the body through food, pharmaceuticals, dental work, and contaminated water, emphasizing the importance of natural remedies like cilantro for detoxification. She discussed how Candida overgrowth can be managed with herbs like Oregon grapefruit and Usnea to prevent sugar cravings and systemic issues. Kim also highlighted the dangers of tap water, which may contain nematodes, pharmaceuticals, and heavy metals, recommending against drinking tap water and suggesting water testing as a preventive measure. IX. Parasite Cleansing and Health Effects Kim explained that parasites are widespread, estimating that approximately 3.5 billion people worldwide have parasites, though official statistics only show 60 million cases in the US. She discussed how parasites can affect health conditions like MS and how she developed her own parasite cleansing kits after working in medical research. When Nate asked about criticism from scientists calling parasite cleansing pseudoscience, Kim defended her approach, stating that wormwood has been scientifically proven to eliminate parasites and that many people she has tested have confirmed parasite presence. X. Parasite Treatment and Compliance Goals Kim discussed her experience with parasites and their connection to mental health, particularly during full moons. She explained her Purify kit, which includes three tinctures and a binder taken daily, along with additional products like a lymph kit. Kim mentioned their goal to achieve FDA compliance within two months to allow store distribution, and shared her belief that Lyme disease affects brain function, potentially making people more susceptible to certain influences.

Most people assume that if a drug sits on the shelf at Costco or Walgreens, it must be pretty safe. But what if some of the most common over-the-counter (OTC) medications are among the riskiest drugs in America? On this vintage episode of Vitality Radio, Jared exposes the hidden dangers behind everyday pain relievers, sleep aids, and heartburn drugs—medicines that cause thousands of deaths every year when misused or taken long-term. You'll learn how a drug becomes “OTC,” what happens when pharmaceutical companies push for that switch, and why the FDA's approval process might not tell the whole story. Jared dives into the startling realities of PPIs like Prilosec, NSAIDs like ibuprofen, and acetaminophen (Tylenol)—uncovering their risks to the liver, kidneys, bones, and brain. He also discusses how marketing convinces consumers these drugs are harmless. Finally, Jared offers a resource for safe, natural alternatives for reflux, pain, inflammation, sleep, and immune support—options that nourish the body instead of depleting it.

Matthew Zachary is a brain cancer survivor, healthcare advocate, founder of Stupid Cancer and We the Patients, and host of Out of Patients. In April 2026, he returned to the stage at Merkin Hall near Lincoln Center for his first solo public piano concert in almost 22 years while launching his debut book, We the Patients: Understanding, Navigating, and Surviving America's Healthcare Nightmare.What unfolded became far larger than a concert.Over 2 hours, survivors, clinicians, advocates, nonprofit founders, journalists, pharmaceutical sponsors, and healthcare insiders gathered in one room to reflect on 30 years of survivorship, institutional failure, accidental advocacy, and the emotional afterlife of cancer. The evening moved through original piano performances, live chapter readings, and deeply personal conversations about infertility, disability, financial toxicity, insurance denials, grief, burnout, and what happens when patients spend decades navigating systems designed around transactions instead of continuity.Guests including Wendell Potter, Maimah Karmo, Craig Lustig, Shelly Fuld Nasso, Tamika Felder, and others reflected on how the modern cancer advocacy movement emerged largely because patients built parallel systems where healthcare infrastructure failed to meet human needs. The conversation explored how prior authorization, reimbursement incentives, administrative fragmentation, and institutional distrust continue shaping the patient experience across oncology and survivorship.The performance also marked a deeply personal milestone. After brain cancer compromised his left hand at age 21, Zachary spent 6 months rehabilitating both hands to return to public performance for the first time in over 2 decades. The result became part concert, part civic gathering, and part historical record of a generation of survivors who refused to disappear quietly.RELATED LINKSMZLIVE Official WebsiteMZLIVE YouTube VideoFEEDBACKLike this episode?

In December 1996, a 37 year old pharmaceutical executive sat in a Borders bookstore reading medical textbooks on the floor, trying to understand a disease she had never heard of. Multiple myeloma carried a three year prognosis. Her daughter was 18 months old. Her father had just died of cancer. Within weeks, she pushed her doctors to say the quiet part clearly. This would likely end her life before her child entered kindergarten.Kathy Giusti refused to accept passive survival. She built a plan while the system offered fragments. She interviewed oncologists and fertility specialists at the same time. She pursued IVF to have a second child while preparing for treatment. She stayed employed to keep insurance coverage. Every decision carried financial, medical, and emotional risk.That same urgency exposed a deeper failure. Cancer research moved slowly. Academic centers guarded data. Clinical trials lacked coordination. Patients entered a system that demanded compliance without providing clarity. Giusti responded by building the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation, not as a support group, but as an operating engine to accelerate drug development, fund research, and force collaboration across institutions.This episode tracks the tension between individual agency and systemic failure. Giusti describes how patients navigate diagnosis, insurance barriers, and fragmented care in real time. She explains how data, genomics, and clinical trials reshape cancer treatment while still leaving patients responsible for decisions they are not trained to make. She addresses disparities in access, the limits of early detection, and the reality that progress in oncology often depends on speed, funding, and alignment of incentives.The conversation moves between lived experience and structural critique. It names the cost of delay, the burden placed on patients to act as their own advocate, and the tradeoffs required to push a system forward that still protects itself first.⸻RELATED LINKSKathy GiustiMultiple Myeloma Research FoundationFatal to FearlessAmerican Society of Hematology⸻FEEDBACKLike this episode?

Rural America is under assault, and very few red-state gubernatorial candidates are running on emphatically fighting this war. I'm joined by Iowa regenerative farmer Zach Lahn, who is running for Iowa governor. Lahn lays out his vision for Iowa: a moratorium on new data centers, banning foreign ownership of farmland, stopping corporate monopolies hurting farmers, ending vaccine mandates, defending constitutional rights from the weaponized surveillance state, restoring healthy food systems, and protecting rural communities from the multifront assault on America's heritage and way of life. Lahn argues that Iowa should prioritize its farmers, families, land, and local communities instead of subsidizing multinational corporations and AI infrastructure projects.
