Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 12-11-2025: Dr. Dawn presents colleague Dr. Paul Godin's essay on why US healthcare fails as a market system . She explains that healthcare violates every assumption of functional markets: patients can't compare options during emergencies, information asymmetry prevents informed decisions, demand is inelastic when one has an urgent medical issue, and trust is essential to medicine and in direct conflict with profit incentives. Since 1988's Knox-Keen Act allowed for-profit healthcare, private equity has acquired and stripped hospitals, while administrative costs consume enormous resources fighting over payments rather than providing care. She contrasts this with European models like Switzerland and Germany where everyone must participate, insurers must accept all patients, and profit on basic coverage is limited. She celebrates a vaccination success story: HPV vaccines have reduced cervical cancer by 50% over 30 years. The American Cancer Society now endorses self-collected vaginal samples for HPV screening, with an FDA-approved at-home kit from Teal Health allowing women to skip speculums and traditional Pap smears. Current guidelines recommend screening starting at age 25, with testing every five years after a negative result. Dr. Dawn issues a health alert about multiple hospitalizations in Santa Cruz County from foraged wild mushrooms identified incorrectly by phone apps. She describes cholinergic toxicity symptoms: sweating, excessive salivation, pinpoint pupils, and abdominal cramping—signs requiring immediate emergency care rather than waiting it out. She offers follow-up vaccine advice: "go in wet, then sweat." Hydrate before vaccination, then take a hot Epsom salt bath until sweat runs off your face. This helps eliminate adjuvants that cause post-vaccine fatigue and aches, which are often misinterpreted as catching illness from the vaccine itself. Dr. Dawn expresses alarm that Kennedy's reconstituted ACIP nearly voted to eliminate hepatitis B vaccination at birth. She notes infants exposed to infected mothers have 99% infection rates, with half becoming chronically infected and half of those developing terminal cirrhosis or cancer. Testing pregnant women misses infections acquired during pregnancy, and 12-16% of delivering women have no test records. Major insurers have committed to covering birth vaccination through 2026 despite the panel's actions. She offers holiday microbiome advice from researcher Karen Corbin: increase fiber intake through steel-cut oats, whole grain breads like Dave's Killer Bread, beans, apples, and alternative pastas made from lentils or garbanzo beans. Cooking potatoes ahead and reheating creates resistant starch that feeds beneficial gut bacteria, reduces inflammation, and even stimulates natural GLP-1 production. Dr. Dawn reviews research proving health insurance saves lives. When the ACA's Medicaid expansion became optional by state, researchers could compare outcomes, finding 8% lower mortality and 19,000 fewer deaths in expansion states over four years. An accidental IRS experiment—sending insurance enrollment letters to only 85% of penalty payers—showed significantly lower mortality among those who subsequently got insured. Studies of gunshot and auto accident victims found uninsured patients died more often despite receiving identical emergency treatment. She concludes with surprising cancer symptoms: chest pain specifically triggered by alcohol consumption may indicate Hodgkin's lymphoma, as vasodilation activates inflammatory chemicals in affected lymph nodes. Fractures from minimal trauma in people without osteoporosis warrant investigation, as 5% of cancers involve bone. Elevated calcium levels double cancer diagnosis risk in the following year and should prompt follow-up testing.
There is a renewed call for universal free cervical cancer screening in a bid to eradicate the disease. The State of Cancer report released yesterday shows Aotearoa has not meet its cervical screening target. Currently the cervical cancer screening programme, including self testing for the HPV is not free for everyone. The National Centre For Women's Health Research says that needs to change if we are to eliminate the disease. Centre Founder Professor Bev Lawton spoke to Lisa Owen.
New Zealand has the chance to virtually eliminate cervical cancer but the uptake of a vaccination that prevents it remains incredibly low. The latest State of Cancer report released today says half of all cancers are preventable. The Human Papilloma viruses or HPVs are the main causes of several cancers including cervical, mouth and throat cancer. But the HPV vaccine can prevent the virus. Head of Advocacy and Public Affairs at the Cancer Society, Rachael Neumann spoke to Lisa Owen.

In this episode, Kathy L. MacLaughlin shares clinical insights and practical wisdom as she examines the public health implications of the only FDA-approved self-screening option for cervical cancer screening. After describing the self-screening process, Dr MacLaughlin shows how this option has the potential to expand access, increase the likelihood of early detection, and better meet the needs of patients who face barriers to traditional screening methods. She also addresses concerns about potential false negatives or invalid samples, while highlighting the positive impact self-screening can have on the future of preventative care.Hosted by Omari A.

Global and local partners are intensifying efforts to eliminate cervical cancer in South Africa. A high-level policy dialogue at the G20 Social Summit brought together government leaders, experts and NGOs to share best practices and strengthen collective action. Cervical cancer is one of the country's most pressing public health threats and the WHO has set a 2030 goal to eliminate the disease. Elvis Presslin spoke to Zwelethu Bashman, Managing Director at MSD South Africa
Dr. Mitch Shulman can be heard every weekday morning at 7:50 on The Andrew Carter Morning Show.
A recent report by the Canadian Cancer Statistics Advisory Committee found that after more than three decades of steady decline, cases of cervical cancer have plateaued in the past 20 years. In an effort to make screening less daunting, the Canadian Cancer Society is pushing for all provinces and territories to replace the traditional pap smear examination with the human papillomavirus (HPV) test. So far, only four provinces have made the switch.But the switch is just a piece of the puzzle. Access to screening, education on reproductive health, and destigmatizing testing all play a role in bringing down cases of cervical cancer - which Canada committed to eliminate by 2040.Host Maria Kestane speaks to Dr. Lucy Gilbert, director of the McGill University Gynecologic Oncology service, and chair of oncology for McGill University's Gerald Bronfman Department of Oncology to discuss the risks related with lack of access to proper screenings, and how Health Canada needs to keep health education top of mind if they want to meet its 2040 goal.

Prime Minister Mark Carney's government faced a crucial test — with a vote on their budget. Despite drama throughout the day, the government's economic plan for the country passed. 170 MPs voted in favour of the budget; 168 voted against. Passage of the budget ensured that the country did not face the possibility of a snap election.And: Death rates from cancer continue to fall in Canada as fewer people are dying of lung and colorectal cancer. But one type of cancer is not seeing the same drop, and the extra tragedy is — it's preventable. We'll look at what's happening with cervical cancer.Also: The plan for North American's first-ever whale sanctuary is making waves. Some in the small oceanside community along Nova Scotia's eastern shore are in support of the project, but a handful of landowners say it's moving forward without their consent.Plus: Trump's about-face on Epstein files, UK government's plans to overhaul asylum rules, and more.

In this episode I'm really excited to introduce you to Dr. Nasha Winters, who is author of the book "The Metabolic Approach to Cancer." She's a naturopathic doctor and founder of Metabolic Regen University and has created a metabolic approach to helping people prevent and address cancer and metabolic health disorders. I'm so glad she's here with me on How Humans Heal today. Because Dr. Nasha and I are both naturopathic doctors and graduated from naturopathic medical school at a similar time, our paths have crossed many times over the years. We are both passionate about sharing the message that health can be achieved by addressing the root cause of the health issue. We help patients figure out what's going on under the surface and help them understand what that means in terms of what they can implement to make a difference, especially related to cancer. Dr. Nasha's teaches around the world to both lay audiences and professional audiences, and created the Metabolic Regen University as a way to train clinicians in her approach to cancer. In this episode, Dr. Nasha shares her personal experience with ovarian cancer, how she healed herself, and how that inspired her to become a naturopathic doctor. We talk about high risk HPV related cancer, and cancer in general – how to think about it differently, and non-conventional ways to support healing. If you or someone you know is dealing with cancer, or at risk of cancer, this is an essential interview to listen to in your research process to identify alternative and integrative ways to prevent and address cancer, alongside conventional cancer treatment or if/when conventional approaches fail. We're here to help you!

In the latest SI Voices podcast, host Hilary Ratcliffe speaks with Connie Mutunhu, former President of Soroptimist International Africa Federation (SIAF), about efforts to raise awareness of cervical cancer and expand access to the HPV vaccine for girls across Africa.Statistics provided by the World Health Organisation (WHO) state that cervical cancer is the second most diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women in Africa. Each year, around 80,000 women are diagnosed and 77,000 die—figures WHO calls unnecessarily high.To address this crisis, SIAF together with the Soroptimist International Clubs of Nairobi Central and Dubai Gulf (SIE), 'The Room', and the UN Health4Life Fund—has launched 'Let's Chat', an AI-powered digital tool that connects users with trusted health experts for personalised conversations.This is a long-term, large-scale public awareness programme. SIAF is working to establish mobile health clinics to reach underserved rural communities, while also producing leaflets in multiple languages and using social media to spread accurate information. Their efforts aim to dispel persistent myths—such as the false belief that the HPV vaccine causes infertility—which discourage families from vaccinating their daughters. Connie highlighted both the progress already made and SIAF's intention to build partnerships with Soroptimist Clubs outside Africa to strengthen ongoing efforts to prevent cervical cancer.

Story at-a-glance Gardasil's ability to prevent cervical cancer is being questioned, with experts citing a lack of long-term studies proving reduced cancer rates While Gardasil targets specific HPV strains, concerns exist that it allows for the emergence of other harmful strains, thus canceling the vaccine's intended benefits Reports of severe side effects, including heart complications and even deaths, raise serious safety concerns, warranting caution The vaccine's aggressive marketing, despite the proven effectiveness of regular pap smears, suggests Gardasil's benefits have been exaggerated while risks have been downplayed Lawsuits alleging that Merck concealed risks and overstated Gardasil's efficacy are underway, casting doubt on the company's transparency and raising trust issues regarding pharmaceutical marketing
Today, a story that starts small and private, with one woman alone in her bathroom, as she makes a quiet, startling discovery about her own body. But that small, private moment grows and grows, and pretty soon it becomes something so big that it has impacted the life of every person reading this right now… and all that without the woman ever even knowing the impact she had. We originally aired this story back in 2010, but we thought we'd bring it back today, as questions about bodily autonomy circle with renewed force.EPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - Rebecca SklootSignup for our newsletter!!

The SpaceX rocket carries lunar landers from companies based in Texas and Japan. They could arrive at the moon in the coming months. HPV can cause a variety of cancers, including cervical. New mortality data for women under 25 point to the success of the HPV vaccine.Rocket Launches With Lunar Landers From 2 Private CompaniesOn Wednesday, a SpaceX rocket launched carrying payloads from two separate private companies hoping to achieve lunar landings. The pair of landers—one from Japanese company ispace, and one from Texas-based Firefly Aerospace—will take months to reach the moon. Firefly's lander is scheduled to arrive first, in March, with ispace's lander planned for a touchdown in late May or early June.Another SpaceX launch on Thursday, a test flight of the company's Starship system, had mixed results. The booster returned to earth and was successfully “caught,” but the spacecraft exploded over the Caribbean shortly after launch. That explosion is under investigation.Jason Dinh, climate editor at Atmos in Washington, D.C., joins Ira to talk about the Wednesday launch and plans for private lunar exploration. They also discuss other stories from the week in science, including the ban of Red Dye #3 an AI approach to snake antivenom, and a study predicting a rise in US dementia cases by 2060.As Cervical Cancer Deaths Plummet, Experts Credit HPV VaccineIn 2006, a vaccine for the human papillomavirus (HPV) became widely available to adolescents. HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection, and it can cause cancers of the mouth, throat, and sexual organs. It's also the cause of nearly every case of cervical cancer.Now, almost 20 years after the HPV vaccine was introduced, a study published in JAMA noted a 62% drop in deaths due to cervical cancer in women under 25 in the US: from 50 or 60 deaths per year to 13. This follows earlier research that noted a decrease in cervical precancer and cancer since the introduction of the vaccine.With HPV vaccine uptake at about 60% for adolescents aged 13-15, a higher uptake could virtually eliminate cervical cancer, experts say. However, childhood vaccination rates have dwindled since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, sparking concerns about the spread of preventable disease.Joining Flora Lichtman to talk about this latest study is lead author Dr. Ashish Deshmukh, professor of public health sciences and co-leader of the Cancer Prevention and Control Program at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, South Carolina.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
