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).

Delivered by Angeline from the Parish of Saint Catherine of Siena in the Diocese of Bridgeport, United State; Romans 6: 19-23; Rs psalm 1: 1-2.3.4.6; Luke 12: 49-53.THE FIRE THAT ALWAYSLIGHTENS ON EARTH Our meditation todayis the entitled: The Fire that Always Lightens on Earth. There is a soccer teamthat has done a series of preparation, apparently could not provide theexpected results. They lost three times consecutively. The reason is that thecoach was not serious. He did not act firmly when there is indisciplinarybehavior among his players. Finally, the management decided to replace him witha new coach who is considered more experienced and professional. The coach implementedhard exercises to every player. He figured out the highest target and demandedthat the players had a high motivation to achieve it. The coach's words andactions were decisive and tend to be very hard, resulting fear, nervousness,tremble and giving up from the players. In general, we are also in this samesituation. When the method of education and formation is firm and verydemanding in discipline, people prefer to give up and stop. We read in Gospel aboutsome of Jesus' disciples could not stand and chose to leave Him. The reason isbecause Jesus' words are considered very hard to bear. For them Jesus is a hardperson. But Peter represented his colleagues to choose to stay and be faithful,through his famous statement: to whom else should we go, Lord? We also choose tostay with Peter. The proof is that, we have been with our faith until now: Towhom else should we go? We can't go to another heart! This radical choice wasalso made by the Romans in the time of Saint Paul. They resolved to abandontheir old lifestyle, which had prostituted their bodies and souls because ofall pleasures of this world. They chose life, not death. They embraced a newlife of freedom as sons and daugters of God. But this choice isnot without many risks. It is said so clearly, Jesus Christ is like a fire thatcannot be extinguished. Fire becomes a light that dispels the darkness, butalso burns the parts that are not useful or not for our need. It means thatthose who are not in line with God will disappear, then separating those whoare with God. This is where the separation occurs between humans, eventragically happens also in our families. Our families todaymay be polarized between faithful members of the Church who are active andinvolved in the spiritual life of following Jesus Christ responsibly, and thosewho are passive, dry, away from the Church, and even those whose faith isdying. This separation of life must be eliminated, and this is our common dutyto do together. But we must continue to use Jesus as the true fire on thisearth. Let's pray. In the name of the Father...O heavenly Father, look and bless us who are fragile in spirit to endure ourfidelity to You. Our fragile family and community desperately need Yourintervention. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit ... Inthe name of the Father ...

Una llamada por un simple disturbio doméstico llevó a la policía de Bridgeport a presenciar uno de los fenómenos más inquietantes de la historia moderna. Lo que encontraron en la casa de Lindley Street en 1974 fue algo que desafió la lógica: muebles moviéndose por sí solos, golpes en las paredes, objetos levitando y decenas de testigos entre los que se encontraban oficiales, técnicos, bomberos, sacerdotes y periodistas.Este no es un mito urbano ni una historia inventada. Fue un caso 100% real documentado en informes policiales y reportado por la prensa.Hasta el día de hoy, ninguna explicación oficial ha logrado resolver lo que ocurrió dentro de aquella casa.

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.

(Seemingly) everything. These shows are fun for us, and they seem to be fun for you, too. So we did another one.

The podcast begins with hosts Marcy Gordon and Beth Costa introducing the show and expressing gratitude to their sponsor, Ron Rubin, for supporting the podcast. They also thank River Road Family Vineyards and Winery for their financial backing, which allows them to keep sharing stories and sipping wine. Just like in elementary school...we talk about what we did on our summer vacation :-) The episode, number 236, focuses on recapping their summer adventures in Sonoma County and beyond. Richard Ross, their engineer, kicks things off by sharing his first-ever road trip in an electric vehicle through the Eastern Sierras. He recounts stops at South Lake Tahoe, Bridgeport, Bodie ghost town, Mono Lake, and Mammoth Mountain, highlighting the beauty of the snow-covered Sierras and the challenges of finding EV chargers in remote areas. Along the way, he enjoyed local wines, quirky dining experiences, and even visited the Western Film Museum in Lone Pine. Beth shares her summer highlights, including frequent trips to Eureka to visit family, where she enjoyed the zoo, a stunning dahlia garden, and local wine. Marcy on the other hand, attended major events like Taste of Sonoma, the Sonoma County Fair (featuring the chaotic and hilarious Corgi races), and the Gravenstein Apple Fair in Sebastopol, which showcased local apples, cider, and artisan goods. She describes the fair's expanded layout, bustling crowds, and delicious treats like apple fritters. Marcy reflects on her summer filled with wine-related activities, including the Big West Wine Fest, which focused on natural wines, and the Sonoma County Fair's grape stomp. She also enjoyed beach picnics, hiking at Jenner Headlands, and participating in a summer reading program, where she read 15 books. The hosts also discuss their efforts to deliver updated Wine Road maps to local wineries, with Beth noting the beauty of driving through Sonoma County's wine regions. They highlight Guerneville's Dawn Ranch as a charming lodging option surrounded by redwoods, perfect for weddings or family reunions. Marcy shares her experience taking a pickling class in Sebastopol, adding to her growing list of homemaking skills, and encourages listeners to explore similar workshops. The episode wraps up with a shoutout to Ron Rubin for sponsoring another year of the podcast, ensuring they can continue sharing their love for Sonoma County wine and culture. The hosts encourage listeners to visit the region, sip Sonoma wines, and enjoy all the unique experiences the area has to offer.
