We're marking Rare Disease Month 2026 by highlighting the powerful story of Shanthi Hegde, a young patient advocate working to transform how bleeding disorders are understood, treated, and supported. This work is fueled by her own arduous journey with two rare bleeding disorders and immune dysregulatory syndrome, and an extended diagnostic odyssey marked by dismissal, underdiagnosis, and structural bias. “I was told many times by many providers that these disorders are not common in Indians and that my bruises were there just because I'm brown.” Admirably, Shanthi pushed past this mistreatment, advocated for her medical needs, and devoted herself to tackling a range of issues confronting rare disease patients from mental health access to affordable drug pricing to research equity. In this remarkable Year of the Zebra conversation with host Lindsey Smith, you'll also learn about: Shanti's work with the Hemophilia Federation of America; How gaps extend beyond treatment to include insurance coverage, provider training, and substance use care; What clinicians can do to improve the work they do with rare disease patients. Join us for a conversation that connects patient voice to system change, and explores what real equity for rare disease communities will require.

A woman's body was pulled from the icy depths of Lake Crescent after three years — her flesh transformed into soap, her face unrecognizable, and her identity a mystery that would unravel one of the most sensational murder trials in Washington state history.No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This PodcastSAPONIFICATION: How a Cold Lake Preserved a Murder (DEEP-DIVE ARTICLE): https://weirddarkness.com/saponification/Take the Weird Darkness Survey: https://take.supersurvey.com/QGZCRXPVSIN THIS EPISODE: He and his lover took all their possessions and 12,000 doses of LSD to go live in the Satanist sex castle of Corpsewood Manor. Then their story ended with a bloodbath. (The Corpsewood Manor Murders) *** 6-year-old Sheila Fox's disappearance is strange in that there is more than one account of her abduction – contradictory accounts. So what happened to her on that August day in 1944? (Girl In The Green Mac) *** A skeptic of the paranormal housesits for friends in their haunted house. This should get interesting. (The Skeptic And The Playful Ghost) *** We've all heard of werewolves, and in recent episodes we've touched on other creatures of a similar nature such as were-dogs, were-hyenas, and the like. There are were-tigers, and were-… well, you get the idea. But here's one I'll be you never heard of. A were-tree. (When Creatures Change Form) *** According to one of our Weirdo family members, it's possible to live in a haunted house without ever seeing any sign of the paranormal – until you decide to begin remodeling. (It Began In The Conservatory) *** How do you run from something that is faster than any human being alive, and is invisible? (Hiker Confronts Invisible Bipedal Entity) *** Have you ever woken up and don't remember even walking into your bedroom to go to bed the night before? For one person, that was just the beginning of the outlandish things to follow. (I Don't Think I Was Dreaming) *** On June 16, 1936, Hallie Latham, a waitress living in Port Angeles, Washington, married her third husband, a beer truck driver and well-known ladies' man named Monty Illingworth. She had no idea on what was undoubtedly a happy day that she had just made the worst mistake of her life – or that she was soon to become a legend in death. (The Lady of the Lake) *** Japan has rightly earned itself a reputation as a wellspring of the weird, of that there can be no doubt. Of special interest here is all of the strange creatures and entities said to inhabit this land, ranging from mysterious monsters, to phantoms, to everything in between.

In this powerful Language of Love conversation, I sit down with Dr. Russell Kennedy, The Anxiety MD, to completely rethink how we deal with anxiety. Russell is a neuroscientist, physician, and bestselling author of Anxiety Rx, and he shares his own story, from a chaotic childhood with a father struggling with severe mental illness to becoming a doctor who eventually burned out. A life-changing LSD experience showed him something incredible. Chronic anxiety is not a mind problem to fix with positive thinking. It is old alarm energy stuck in the body. We dig into how childhood wounds, trauma, and constant uncertainty wire your nervous system to stay on high alert, why worry becomes addictive, and how your body can hold onto memories long after your mind has forgotten. Russell also talks about intuition, sensitivity, and spirituality in healing, and why reconnecting with yourself is one of the most powerful ways to calm fear. Toward the end, I ask the question every anxious person I meet wants answered. When your body feels overwhelmed, how do you shift from alarm to safety? Russell shares simple, practical tools you can start using right away, tools that help your nervous system relax and bring you back to peace. We explore: Why anxiety is a body-based alarm, not a thought problem The difference between anxious thoughts and somatic fear How childhood trauma and separation shape adult anxiety The dopamine worry loop and why anxiety feels addictive The connection between anxiety, OCD, and unresolved grief How somatic practices calm the nervous system at the root Why reconnecting with yourself and something greater creates lasting healing Remember, healing is not something you do alone, and it was never about fixing what was broken.

Il microdosing è nato come pratica “cool” da Silicon Valley: dosi minuscole di LSD o psilocibina prese a cadenza regolare, con la promessa di diventare più creativi, produttivi e felici, senza mai “andare in acido” davvero.Negli studi però la storia è molto meno spettacolare: le ricerche su basse dosi trovano effetti reali ma piccoli su umore, attenzione e benessere, e spesso quello che i microdosatori si aspettano – la super‑creatività, la rivoluzione cognitiva – non si vede nei dati. #microdosing #LSD #psilocibina #psichedelici #neuroscienze #placebo #biohacking #salutementale #depressione #ansia #ADHD #droghe #ricercascientifica #evidencebased #cosemoltoumane #Balázs #Szigeti Learn more about your ad choices.

Ospite del 195° episodio di Illuminismo Psichedelico è Alex Trip Club, ovvero Alessando, un divulgatore attivo da anni su Instagram e YouTube con degli eccellenti canali dedicati alla riduzione del rischio e alla conoscenza consapevole delle sostanze, del loro uso e delle loro controindicazioni. Alessandro vive a Berlino, una città dove la scena psichedelica è particolarmente vivace – tanto che la cultura techno di Berlino è stata addirittura riconosciuta come patrimonio immateriale dall'Unesco – ma pur vivendo in un contesto così avanzato Alessandro ha notato che tra chi frequentava i locali e anche tra i suoi amici l'uso consapevole di alcune sostanze psicotrope era ancora un miraggio. Così un giorno ha deciso di aprire i suoi canali di divulgazione, e in questa puntata ci racconta com'è andata.

We hope you had a good Valentine's Day last week. If not, there's always the new Free Press matchmaker offshoot from Bari Weiss — and if that doesn't work out either, come join us while we try to make sense of what is happening with A.I.Specifically, we dig into the strange situation surrounding Scott Adams' post-death A.I. talk show, which has cropped up on social media somewhat mysteriously in recent weeks. His family hates it. Who is it for? Why is everything getting so weird? We also get into the feminized A.I. Scott Adams avatar that some of his fans are, shall we say, developing feelings for. (Really.)After that, we turn to social media's latest betrayal of humanity — a quiet willingness to collaborate with DHS in handing over information about anti-ICE protesters.Finally, we take a look at the biggest crashout of 2026 so far: Elijah Schaeffer.It's a lovesick premium edition of Posting Through It.

Send a textGene regulation through RNAs, the neurobiology of opioid addiction, and how psychedelics affect drug-seeking by modulating inflammation and plasticity. Not medical advice.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Gene regulation basics: DNA transcribes to RNAs, including non-coding types like microRNAs that inhibit mRNA translation into proteins, influencing up to 60% of the proteome.Non-coding RNAs in neuroplasticity: MicroRNAs and circular RNAs regulate synaptic changes, with activity-induced ones like miR-485-5p linked to rapid responses in drug cue memory and addiction reinforcement.Opioid addiction models: Rats self-administer heroin or fentanyl via levers, showing compulsive seeking; fentanyl's higher potency drives faster learning but similar long-term effects to heroin when doses are equated.Differences between opioids: Heroin and fentanyl both activate mu-opioid receptors for euphoria and dopamine release, but fentanyl lingers longer; no major behavioral differences in seeking once potency is matched.Psilocybin's effects on addiction: A single psilocybin dose post-abstinence reduces heroin-seeking in rats by dampening neuroinflammation in brain regions like the nucleus accumbens and prefrontal cortex.Brain Inflammation: Opioids induce pro-inflammatory changes via cytokines like IL-17A and pathways like TNF-alpha, leading to glial activation and blood-brain barrier leaks; psilocybin counters this.MicroRNA biomarkers: Blood microRNAs reflect gene expression patterns tied to disease states, with potential to predict opioid relapse risk, treatment response, or neonatal withdrawal severity non-invasively.Future research: Ongoing work links psilocybin's serotonin 2A activation to anti-inflammatory gene changes, plus human studies on microRNAs for personalized addiction treatments.ABOUT THE GUEST: Stephanie Daws, PhD is an associate professor at Temple University in the Center for Substance Abuse Research and Department of Neurosciences, where she researches mechanisms of drug-seeking behavior with a focus on opioids and psychedelics.RELATED EPISODE:M&M 2 | Psilocybin, LSD, Ketamine, InflamSupport the showHealth Products by M&M Partners: SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).

Few issues have tested public trust in medicine as deeply as vaccines, and few individuals have influenced that dialogue more than Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and a longtime member of the FDA's Vaccine Advisory Committee. In this timely and candid interview with Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith, Dr. Offit points to this year's severe flu season and a resurgence of measles as alarming proof points of how a changing federal perspective on vaccine policy is having a real impact on public health. “You'd like to think you can educate about the importance of vaccines, but I fear at this point the viruses themselves are doing the educating.” In this wide ranging discussion, Dr. Offit also addresses: The rigorous and painstaking process of developing vaccines, based on his experience co-inventing the rotavirus vaccine. Shifting levels of public trust in scientific organizations. Promising innovations in vaccine development. Don't miss this deeply-informed perspective on the interplay of science, policy, and public education, and his encouraging message to young clinicians about managing the current challenges in public health.

"The internet loves lists. The click bait ones often choose to list the worst of something and choose the best of it just to upset the audience for engagement. I can usually ignore these but this one really bugged me for some reason. I'll tell you the list and debunk it and offer some of mine."
Ospite del 194° episodio di Illuminismo Psichedelico è una nostra vecchia conoscenza, il neuroscienziato e ricercatore Tommaso Barba. In questo episodio Tommaso ha deciso di condividere con noi i contenuti di una importante esperienza psichedelica che ha vissuto in Olanda, dove in un contesto legale ha assunto per due volte dosi significative di "tartufi", in particolare nel secondo trip gli insight sono stati molto importanti, e l'esperienza di picco decisamente intensa. Questo racconto non è solo importante di per sé ma soprattutto perché a scegliere di farlo è uno scienziato al lavoro su queste molecole – una scelta dunque importante e ponderata. Nel seguito della puntata Tommaso ci dà una notizia (quasi) in anteprima, rivelandoci i risultati di un trial dell'Imperial College sulla DMT antidepressiva: gli studi iniziano a dimostrarne l'efficacia, che combinata alla brevità dell'assunzione potrebbe rappresentare un punto di svolta importante nelle terapie psichedeliche. Infine Tommaso, tra i docenti della prima settimana di corsi alla Illuminismo Psichedelico Academy, ha ripercorso l'entusiasmo e l'importanza di questa iniziativa didattica.

For 2 decades, a CIA project ran secret mind control experiments on unsuspecting Americans. Many believe their quest for human behavior modification never truly ended — it only changed its name and went underground. Project MKUltra, active from 1953 to 1973, utilized LSD, electroshock therapy, hypnosis, and total isolation in tests tied to more than 80 institutions. While the program was officially designed to counter Soviet brainwashing, it resulted in the testing of dangerous tactics on prisoners, soldiers, and civilians—often without their knowledge or consent. But we may never know the true depravity of its medical abuses: before the program was exposed, CIA Director Richard Helms ordered the destruction of most records from MKUltra.

Charles Manson didn't pull the trigger. He didn't swing the knife. But he convinced others to kill for him — and they did.A Scary Ringmaster who turned hippies into killers. In the summer of 1969, a failed musician and self-proclaimed prophet manipulated a group of young followers and hippies into committing some of the most brutal murders in American history. This is the story of the cult that called him “God,” the Hollywood elite who crossed paths with him, and the nights that changed Los Angeles forever. A mix of mind control, LSD, broken dreams, and twisted ambition — the Manson Family was a cult disguised as a commune. Their crimes weren't just murders — they were messages. Written in blood. This documentary reveals the full truth:
Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. Host Dave Gebroe talks with Spirit biographer Ryan Gabrinetti about the classic psych band's entire recorded output, with commentary, stories, and star ratings for every release. Part 5 details the almost-too-crazy-to-be-believed tale behind one of the most mythically nuts concept albums ever dreamt up. Here are just a few of the many things that Ryan discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: The origin of the Potatoland project; The massive public uprising that practically forced Randy California to exhume the project several years later; The 2019 Esoteric Recordings Potatoland box set that has to be one of the ten most essential reissue purchases of all time; The live radio shows during that era which Randy dared to play on LSD; And an in-depth deep dive on every song off Spirit's Adventures of Kaptain Kopter & Commander Cassidy in Potato Land, the 1973 LP that was rejected by Epic Records.

“I do not believe we should be testing to test. We have to know, is this test going to change management and is it going to make a difference,” says pediatric allergist-immunologist Dr. Zachary Rubin. His knack for providing that sort of straightforward guidance explains why Dr. Rubin has become a trusted voice on allergies, asthma, and vaccines for his millions of followers on social media platforms. It's also why we couldn't ask for a better guide for our discussion on the rise in allergies, asthma, and immune-related conditions in children, and how families can navigate the quickly evolving science and rampant misinformation in the space. On this episode of Raise the Line, we also preview Dr. Rubin's new book, All About Allergies, in which he breaks down dozens of conditions and diseases, offering clear explanations and practical treatment options for families. Join host Lindsey Smith for this super informative conversation in which Dr. Rubin shares his thoughts on a wide range of topics including: What's behind the rise in allergic and immune-related conditions.Tips for managing misinformation, myths and misunderstandings. How digital platforms can be leveraged to strengthen public health.How to build back public trust in medicine.Mentioned in this episode:All About Allergies bookBench to Bedside PodcastInstagramTikTokYouTube Channel If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

"The Rockin 1000 is a project that started in Italy as gag to create a video of 1000 musicians playing Learn to Fly in order to get the Foo Fighters to come and put on a concert. It has since grown into full scale concerts across Europe. On January 31 the Rockin 1000 played their first concert in America, in New Orleans, and I was part of the band. Let me tell you the story."
“Good is impacting other people's energetic field in a positive way.” This Earth Xperience features Luke Spurgeon, entrepreneur, life coach, and founder of the School of Life, in a conversation that moves from childhood trauma to self development, spirituality, entrepreneurship, psychedelics, near death experiences, and the question of what it actually means to be human.Luke shares openly about growing up in a chaotic and abusive household, witnessing violence, living in fight or flight, and carrying subconscious trauma into adulthood. Rather than identifying solely as a victim of those experiences, he explains how he began questioning his reactions, particularly his anger, and learned to alchemize that energy into discipline, fitness, business, and personal growth. He describes the turning point as shifting from reacting to life to intentionally acting within it.The conversation explores how exposure to books, external mentors, and self reflection helped him reframe his identity. Luke explains how he built his life mathematically by observing others who had the freedom he desired and reverse engineering their steps. From selling one to one coaching sessions for twenty pounds to building a paid community, he describes entrepreneurship as a long game of persistence, not talent.Spirituality is defined by Luke as awareness. Awareness of ego, energy, consciousness, and perception. He shares his experiences with LSD and what he describes as a near death experience while brushing his teeth, where his sense of identity dissolved into fear and then into acceptance and love. These moments reinforced his belief that reality is perception driven and that we are expressions of a larger source experiencing itself through human form.When asked about God, Luke offers a polarizing but honest view that everything is God experiencing itself from different observation points. He acknowledges the tension in that belief and respects that others may hold different frameworks.Love, to him, is acceptance. Romantic love is embracing both light and shadow in another person. Emotional love is full acceptance of everything without resistance.Throughout the episode, the recurring theme is awareness. Awareness of why you act. Awareness of what you want. Awareness that no one truly knows everything. Luke encourages listeners to stop arguing for certainty and instead ask themselves what they actually want from life.Each Earth Xperience has its own fingerprint. The X represents the lived experience being explored. In this episode, the X is the experience of turning trauma into momentum, dissolving identity through spiritual inquiry, and rebuilding a life through discipline and self awareness.Questions to exploreWhat does it mean to alchemize trauma into growth?Is anger a weakness or unused energy?Can perception shape reality?What is good and evil if everything is perception?Is love acceptance or transformation?What happens when identity dissolves?Do we seek answers because we want truth or because we want certainty?How to connect with the guestLuke SpurgeonInstagram, YouTube, and other platforms under Luke SpurgeonFounder of the School of Life community

Discover how drugs shaped empires, creativity, and chaos throughout history.From ancient battlefields to Victorian medicine cabinets, this week's episode of History Rage dives into the surprising — and often shocking — role of substance use across the ages. Host Paul Bavill is joined by historian and writer Sam Kelly (@humanhistoryondrugs) for a deep, thought-provoking journey through how drugs influenced the world's most famous figures, ideas, and empires.Together, they uncover how Alexander the Great, Sigmund Freud, Queen Victoria, and even Pope Leo XIII all encountered (and indulged in) mind-altering substances — often with world-changing consequences. From Freud's cocaine-fuelled psychology to the British Empire's opium trade, from religious visions to artistic inspiration, Sam and Paul reveal the hidden highs and devastating lows that shaped history's greatest moments.You'll learn how drugs were once tools of power and creativity, but also instruments of destruction. And, as Sam reminds us, it's never a simple story — these substances weren't inherently good or bad, but they were always influential.If you've ever wondered what connects emperors, popes, poets, and programmers — or how LSD helped inspire modern computing — this is an episode you won't want to miss.
At the height of their world-changing and culture-defining popularity, the Beatles faced death threats in foreign countries, an unfair tax rate in their own country that forced them to stash heaps of undeclared cash in brown paper bags, and the sudden suicide of their manager. But none of this could break up the band. Nor could LSD smuggling missions, drug busts, extramarital affairs or the deranged fans who came to their houses. Listen to learn what really tore the Beatles apart. To see the complete list of contributors, visit disgracelandpod.com This episode was originally published on March 2, 2021.

Carlo Rovelli's quest to understand the nature of reality began not in a physics lab, but in youthful experiments with consciousness, political protest and a restless hunger for meaning—years before he “fell madly in love with physics.” Today, Rovelli is famous for his bestselling books, including "Seven Brief Lessons on Physics" and "Reality Is Not What It Seems," and his pioneering work on some of the biggest mysteries in physics, including black holes and quantum gravity. In a wide-ranging conversation, Steve Paulson talks with Rovelli about his early, profound experiences with LSD; his discovery of the "spectacular" beauty of general relativity and quantum mechanics; his lifelong search for purpose in both the cosmos and his own life; and why scientists need to be politically engaged. Carlo also tells us about the big idea that he'd put in our own wonder cabinet.This interview was recorded at the Island of Knowledge think tank in Tuscany, a project supported by Dartmouth College and the John Templeton Foundation. We also play a short excerpt from Anne Strainchamps' earlier interview with Rovelli that originally aired on Wisconsin Public Radio's To The Best Of Our Knowledge.

In the 1970s, Senator Frank Church, a Democrat from Idaho, stuck his neck out–unlike members of Congress today–to take on the real deep state–the FBI and CIA carrying out LSD mind-control experiments on Americans, terrorizing activists, and committing assassinations with the mafia, including against witnesses. The Church Committee Report, based on real Congressional investigations, not just performative show trials, shows us how to confront and dismantle the lawless, mass-murdering MAGA regime. Historians Matthew Guariglia, a senior policy analyst at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and Brian Hochman, the Hubert J. Cloke Endowed Director of the American Studies Program at Georgetown University, are out with the definitive account, The Church Committee Report: Revelations from the Bombshell 1970s Investigation into the National Security State. They walk us through the decades of U.S. presidents of both major parties allowing a surveillance state to expand, running dangerous operations against the American people. The most chilling legacy is not the cartoonish villainy of poison darts and imperial assassinations, but the insidious cruelty of undermining activists. So pay attention. Don't let anyone–even a well-meaning ally–weaponize purity tests to gatekeep the Fourth American Revolution. Stopping the MAGA threat requires all of us building together in coalition. Based on the Church Committee's own findings, we know exactly what tools the FBI and CIA use to dismantle movements. They have very specific, terrifyingly effective strategies to divide and conquer We the People. Here is what they do when they want to destroy a movement from the inside out: Snitch Jacketing: This is psychological warfare. They plant false information–maybe they leave a map or a weapon in an activist's car–specifically to make you think your friend is a police informant. They leverage paranoia to make us eat our own. Fabricated Dissent: They create fake zines, fake newsletters, and fake correspondence to manufacture feuds between groups. They want the anti-war movement fighting the labor movement so neither fights the state. The "Friendly" Infiltrator: Watch out for the guy who shows up out of nowhere with coffee and too many questions. They send plainclothes agents into our resilience communities to map our networks and identify leaders and how they operate. Entrapment: They find an "easy mark" in a group, push them toward violence, then arrest everyone for a plot the FBI invented. They manufacture terrorism. The "Suicide" Strategy: J. Edgar Hoover's FBI sent a letter to Martin Luther King Jr., threatening to expose his private life and pressuring him to kill himself. They try to break you psychologically so that you back down and disappear. According to historians Guariglia and Hochman, activists under siege were aware of the threats long before the Church Committee exposed them, and developed resilience strategies we can learn from today: Reject the "All-Powerful" Myth: Don't give a lawless regime a bigger shadow than it actually has–that is what they want: to live inside your head. When you start believing the government is an all-knowing, all-powerful shadow monster, you are doing their work for them. Paranoia is a tool of the oppressor. Build a Culture of Care: The only way snitch-jacketing works is if we don't know each other. Build deep, resilient relationships. When we take care of each other, their wedges don't work. Sousveillance (Watch from Below): Do not rely on police body cams; those tapes have a magical habit of being turned off when they're needed. Film everything. Control the narrative with your own evidence, eyes, and ears. Divest from Big Tech: Google, Amazon, and Apple are regime collaborators. We need to build our own infrastructure from high-tech mesh networks to low-tech zines. If you rely on the master's tools, they will shut you down, as we're seeing now with TikTok's mass-censorship under the new owners–MAGA donors, the Ellisons. Get Educated: Practice tech hygiene. Go to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and use their Surveillance Self-Defense guide. Learn how to encrypt, what to carry, and how to stay safe. We're fighting a generational struggle, but we outnumber them. As Andrea's film Mr. Jones reminds us: The truth cannot be killed. Stay safe, vigilant, and united–that is how we win.
