On this episode we return to the topic that first earned Alfacast its infamy at the onset of the 2020 bio-psyop.  While many seasoned conspiracy theories can now be legitimately recategorized as factual, one such challenge to conventional medical theory has found it  particularly difficult in penetrating the firewalls of indoctrination. Germ theory, as it was first floated by Royal Society agent, Louiis Pasteur, has been successfully challenged by a multitude of health professionals and researchers alike, and finalized with a candid admission from "the father of modern medicine" himself in his end of life memoirs.  Fact is, "germs" are more friend than foe, and their circumstantial presence at the scene of symptomatology has been purposely miscontrued.  Here to help us set the record straight is MARIZELLE ARCE, N.D., a naturopathic terrain doctor, certified kinesiologist, and nutrition expert. She has a bachelor's degree from Stony Brook University and a doctorate from the University of Bridgeport, College of Naturopathic Medicine. She runs a private health practice in Westchester County, NY. Imagine a paradigm shift in health care that challenges conventional wisdom and unlocks the secrets to true wellness. In "Germs Are Not Our Enemy", Marizelle, whose approach to wellness is deeply rooted in nutrition, detoxification, and the rich traditions of ancient indigenous cultures, unveils a groundbreaking discovery: The microbes inside us and on the surface of our bodies are indicators of imbalances in our internal terrain—helpers and allies, rather than threats. This revolutionary book bridges ancient wisdom and modern science, offering a transformative understanding of health through the principles of terrain ideology and pleomorphism. Dr. Arce challenges the germ-focused mindset that permeates the contemporary world, instead emphasizing the importance of nurturing your body so it functions optimally. By focusing on balance—instead of on battling external pathogens—you can build your resilience. Her book introduces a comprehensive approach to health that has been overlooked in mainstream discussions. Drawing on her expertise in safe and effective holistic practices, Dr. Arce empowers readers with practical tools to optimize their terrain. Dr. Barre Lando will contribute his 40+ years as a Bioterrain specialist to the discussion with a wisdom born from his training within the authentic European Bioterrain circles, and managing 1000's of clinical cases that provided the truth of what constitutes health & "disease".

#171: An Epic Road Trip Along California's Highway 395 The 150-mile stretch of Highway 395 from Bridgeport to Lone Pine takes travelers through a landscape of wide valleys, alpine lakes, volcanic wonders, and Old West history. Running along the eastern edge of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains, this is one of the most scenic drives in the West. On our recent trip, we revisited some of our favorite places along the route, including towns and landmarks that feel like the land that time forgot. From the ghost town of Bodie to the alpine beauty of June Lake and the resort town of Mammoth Lakes, every stop had a story to tell. We explored hot springs, ancient forests, and film locations that have been featured in hundreds of Hollywood movies. In this episode, we share the highlights of this unforgettable road trip, including: · The eerie allure of Bodie Ghost Town, frozen in time, · Where to find the best fish tacos on the planet (hint: inside a gas station), · The alpine lakes, fall colors, and mountain views that make the June Lake Loop so special, · Hidden gems like Hot Creek and Convict Lake, · The Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, home to trees nearly 5,000 years old, · The sobering history of Manzanar National Historic Site, · And our favorite way to end the trip – eating a pancake the size of a hubcap at Whitney Portal beneath the tallest peak in the lower 48. If you love mountain scenery, quirky small towns, and fascinating history, Highway 395 is one of America's great drives. And one that every traveler should experience at least once. ----- Special Note: Join us on a festive European Christmas Markets trip in December 2026 (Germany and Austria).

July 11, 2002. Bridgeport, Ohio. Just after 6am in the morning, John McGhee's daughter Alyssa was awakened by a loud noise. When she went to see what had happened she discovered her father lying in the doorway of the home and covered in blood. Detectives would discover that John's sister pearl lived next door and that just before John's murder, she, her son, and his girlfriend were attacked by four armed men dressed all in black. At the time, John was working as an informant. Was his death a robbery gone wrong or was he targeted?Get tickets to our upcoming live show here below!https://genwhypod.com/https://www.screenland.com/movie/wine-and-crime-live-with-generation-why-podcast/?fbclid=IwY2xjawNOHxdleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETF1dWVZanRGcW5iTTJ2QUo1AR5B9luPXZdbRS57G7xdowgSsxHsdvt1vouuE1EMXK6c06KGXbMZEv7h2VLwmA_aem_WGJXcXUPYQ-GhYACnRCwEAFor bonus episodes and outtakes visit: patreon.com/generationwhySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the latest installment of our special edition podcast, Orogenesis Dispatches, Josh Weinberg talks with adventure cyclist Kurt Refsnyder, who is riding the entire trail from the US border with Canada all the way to Mexico.Kurt checks in from Bridgeport, California, about 2,000 miles (3,200 km) into the 5,000-mile (8,000 km) route. From there, with it being nearly halfway through the route, he reflects on challenges that have included substantial sections of deadfall in Oregon, smoke and fires in Idaho, and unexpectedly hard sections like a soft rail bed in Northern California. He also reveals a feeling of relief being in California, where the trails are more established for bikes, and deadfall will hopefully be less of a concern.The bulk of the conversation addresses reader/listener-submitted questions that span a multitude of topics, including using an electronic drive train over a mechanical one, riding without a chamois pad, how he chooses camping spots, the daily joys of waking up on the trail, and what lies ahead.
