Dr. Abramson reveals how doctors unknowingly rely on distorted data and how journals prioritize pharma revenue over scientific integrity. #MedicalBias #ClinicalData #DoctorAwareness

Of the many methods people use to communicate with the spirit world, the most intriguing and controversial is automatic writing. In 1917, Nobel laureate poet W.B. Yeats and his wife embarked on a paranormal journey where they used automatic writing to produce Yeats' groundbreaking book “A Vision”. In addition to receiving messages from the spirits, the couple also witnessed other strange, unexplained phenomena. And the ensuing book is considered to be one of the strangest, most divisive works of literary modernism. Join me as I explore the fascinating story of Yeats' experiments with automatic writing.

Her maternal grandmother was a Holocaust survivor from Hungary - arriving in America with little more than resilience and quiet strength. Her father's side carried echoes of Transylvanian Roma heritage - psychic sensitivity woven into the blood. Raised as an only child in the idyllic yet deceptive beauty of East Hampton in the Hamptons, Magnolia navigated a loving but fractured home: her father's cocaine addiction, family dysfunction, and the early dissociation that veiled her youngest memories. What should have been a childhood of safety became, from the tender age of five, a battlefield of unimaginable horror.Ensnared by perpetrators connected to MK ULTRA, Stargate, a satanic coven known as the Sisters of Darkness, and even her best friend's parents linked to Warner Brothers and Hollywood elite circles, Magnolia endured routine ritual abuse and programming. These traumas layered with near-death experiences sought to shatter her spirit and install unbreakable compartments of control. Yet even in the darkest programming sessions, she glimpsed divine intervention. Angelic counsel, a profound connection to Yeshua, and moments of elevated consciousness sustained her.The abuse began to loosen its daily grip around age nine, though sporadic access continued. Magnolia buried the memories deep, excelling outwardly in gifted programs while her inner world remained compartmentalized. Then, just over a decade ago, a single chilling recollection - a perpetrator's Russian roulette threat - unlocked a flood of memory. Piece by agonizing piece, the truth emerged. What followed was not defeat, but a fierce reclamation.Magnolia's healing journey has been neither linear nor conventional. Traditional systems offered surface-level support at best. Through holistic practices, plant medicines, inner-child work, and - most powerfully - a direct, living relationship with Yeshua, she integrated memories, confronted implanted guilt and shame, and stepped into wholeness. She faced the impossible: the knowledge that adults she trusted had betrayed her, that she had been forced into unthinkable acts under duress, and that layers of programming still echoed in her nervous system. Yet she refused to remain fractured. Today, with many memories reclaimed and others held in curious trust, Magnolia radiates vibrant life. She is not broken. She is sovereign.As a master artist and creator, Magnolia turns pain into profound beauty. Her paintings, songs, and writings serve as bridges between worlds - ancient wisdom meeting urgent truth. As a healer and spiritual conduit, she offers deliverance, compassionate guidance, and energetic restoration rooted in the Holy Spirit. She creates sacred sanctuary for fellow survivors of ritual abuse, mind control, and complex trauma, walking beside them with the empathy only one who has crossed the abyss can offer. Her voice - soft yet unshakable - carries the weight of lived testimony and the lightness of hard-won freedom.Magnolia is more than a survivor. She is a warrior of light, a spiritual alchemist, and a living invitation to every wounded soul: Your story does not end in the dark. Through her courage, she fills memory gaps for others, validates the disbelieved, and proves that even the most heinous programming cannot override the soul's unyielding sovereignty. She embodies the truth that light is stronger, that redemption is possible, and that heaven can be brought to earth one reclaimed heart at a time.

Trump (perhaps even writing it himself) has had his DOJ file a political screed masquerading as a new motion filed with the wrong court, with the wrong judge, making the wrong arguments, and misstating the facts, about the current state of the ballroom construction project to try to further exploit the tragedy averted at the WHCD on Saturday. Popok explains why this is doomed to fail, as Trump's filing reads like a late-night social media post of his, signed by his former co-counsel in the Mar-a-Lago criminal case, and highlights “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a legal ground to have an injunction, already blocked, blocked!

Gerade noch saß sie in der Jury des Popkultur-Preises “Polyton”, jetzt schon in der Kreuzberger Remise von Here To Get Heard: Revelle!Der Wiener Wahlberlinerin bewegt sich irgendwo zwischen Poesie, Pop und tanzbaren Beats, schreibt Songs, seit sie denken kann, für sich wie andere.

Meet the Fantastic—and Controversial—Dr. David Healy Psychiatric Drug Companies-- What Are They NOT Telling Us? Today, we are thrilled to interview the famed and courageous Dr. David Healy. I have admired his work for many years, but never imagined I'd have the chance to meet him and chat with him. First things first. You may know Dr. David Healy for some of his highly controversial books, like "The Antidepressant Era," "Let Them Eat Prozac," and "Pharmageddon." But who is he, really? According to AI, Dr. David Healy is a prominent Welsh psychiatrist, psychopharmacologist, and critic of the pharmaceutical industry known for his research on antidepressants, their links to suicide, and exposing industry practices like ghostwriting and disease-mongering, operating through initiatives like RxISK.org to promote drug safety. He has a long history of challenging Big Pharma, facing academic backlash (like losing a University of Toronto post) for his views, and serving as an expert witness in legal cases involving psychotropic drugs, advocating for greater transparency and patient safety.  Healy initially worked with pharmaceutical companies, gaining firsthand knowledge of how SSRIs were marketed despite their trial weaknesses, focusing on the oversimplified serotonin hypothesis. He then became a vocal critic, highlighting issues like ghostwriting articles and manipulating academic opinion to sell drugs, leading to conflicts with industry-funded institutions. He founded RxISK.org, a platform for patients to report adverse drug reactions, aiming to make medicines safer. His strong stance (on research linking SSRI antidepressants to increased suicidal thoughts and urges) led to intense and corrosive controversy, including losing a professorship at the University of Toronto (though later settled as a visiting role) and harassment, noted here and here. In recent years, he has acted as an expert witness in cases involving drug-related suicides and homicides, bringing issues to regulators.  In essence, Dr. David Healy is a significant, often controversial, figure dedicated to drug safety, academic integrity, and patient awareness in psychiatry, challenging established narratives and industry power.  Taking a deeper dive, AI has added this critically important information: David Healy has discussed numerous examples of conflicts of interest that mainly involve the influence of the pharmaceutical industry on medical research, publication, and practice.  Key examples he has highlighted include: Ghostwriting of Articles: Pharmaceutical companies hire medical communication firms to draft research articles or reviews, and then get prominent academics or clinicians to put their names on the papers as the sole or primary authors, a practice known as ghostwriting. The named authors often have little to no involvement in the actual research or writing. Hiding or Misrepresenting Data: Drug companies have concealed unfavorable data or miscoded raw data on drug risks, such as the link between antidepressants and suicidal acts. This manipulation can make a drug appear safer or more effective than it actually is. Biased Clinical Trial Design: Healy notes instances where clinical trials are designed with "tricks," such as using inadequate or excessive doses of comparison medications to make the company's own drug look superior. Marketing-Driven Education: A large portion of continuing medical education (CME) classes for doctors are sponsored by industry. Healy argues this leads to a bias in the information presented to doctors, with an emphasis on the benefits of brand-name drugs rather than an objective assessment of all treatment options. Gifts and Payments to Physicians: Drug companies spend billions annually on marketing directed at doctors, including free samples, sales visits, and small non-educational gifts or lunches. Healy points out that while many doctors believe these gifts don't affect their own prescribing, studies show they influence prescribing patterns and create subtle biases. Industry Influence on Academia: Healy's own experience with a job offer being rescinded at the University of Toronto, which had received a large donation from a drug company (Eli Lilly), is a prominent case he uses to illustrate how industry funding can infringe upon academic freedom and stifle critical research. "Disease Mongering": Healy argues that the pharmaceutical industry often engages in "disease mongering," marketing conditions to the public and physicians to create a market for their products rather than simply addressing genuine medical needs.  So that hopefully gives you some idea of the scope of his work, and his vision of transparency and integrity in the reporting one the effectiveness and risks of psychotropic medications. In our conversation today, he emphasized the importance of listening to patients who describe side effects of medications, such as SSRIs, in described the efforts of Big Pharma to suppress such complaints, giving psychiatrists "talking points" to reassure and quiet concerned patients. In general, a main focus of his career has been to challenge and confront the efforts of drug companies to suppress negative information about their products and troublesome and dangerous side effects. He said that one of the rationales the drug companies use is to say that disseminating that type of information will discourage many potential patients from using their products, and therefore miss out on the potential benefits of the medications. In fact, they have a name for this, "treatment hesitancy," and discourage open discussion of negative effects for this reason. I asked Dr. Healy if he's experienced direct negative pushback from drug companies, and he gave a surprising answer—he said no, that the major pushback he's gotten has actually been from colleagues—psychiatrists who have bought the party line disseminated by the drug manufactures. For example, when he gave his famous talk at the University of Toronto on the increase in suicidal urges associated with SSRI antidepressants, a famous psychopharmacologist, Dr. Charlie Nemeroff, got him fired. Here's the story on Dr. Nemeroff, According to AI: In the late 2000s, Nemeroff faced investigations and sanctions from Emory University for failing to disclose significant speaking and consulting fees from pharmaceutical companies like GlaxoSmithKline, raising questions about research integrity and conflicts of interest, notes The BMJ and The New York Times.  Although the antidepressant effects of SSRIs are controversial and hotly debated, their effects on the nervous system are not. Dr. Healy's research indicates that they have a suppression effect on the nervous system, which dulls the senses, and this can happen within 1 to 2 days. One of the more troublesome of these effects is called "genital numbing," which affects 9 out of 10  people talking SSRIs. This can result in difficulties with sexual arousal and greatly delayed orgasm, and apparently these effects can persist long after drug discontinuation. He said that these sensory effects can develop quickly, within a day or two of starting the medications. Even more chilling, he said that the problem can actually get worse when you discontinue the medication, and can sometimes persist for life. In addition, quite a few individuals have "bad trips" on SSRIs, although a minority clearly have "good trips." He said the best thing to do for a bad trip is to take the patient off of the medication immediately—and NOT increase the dose. He confirmed my impression that a common error with all antidepressants is to increase the dose—which simply increases the side effects. In addition to the genital numbing described above, he said the SSRIs cause "emotional numbing," which means a decreased capacity for joy as well as sorrow. One of the main activities in David Healy's life has been listening to patients, rather than discounting their complaints when they describe negative effects of medications. When asked about what alternatives to drugs he might recommend to someone struggling with depression, he said that sometimes, just doing nothing will be helpful, since most mood problems clear up spontaneously in 12 to 14 weeks. He said that most are simply human problems, not "mental disorders," but real-life problems, like relationship conflicts or social issues. Although we did not discuss it extensively on the show, I would point out that skillful, drug-free therapy with TEAM CBT can sometimes help as well, and that recent research has confirmed rapid often dramatic mood improvements with individuals using the Feeling Great app, which has been entirely free to anyone since the summer of 2025.  Finally, we do not advise anyone to discontinue or modify the dosages of any medications you have been prescribed without consultation with your doctor. The information in the Feeling Good podcast is of a strictly educational nature, and is not intended as treatment or medical advice. We thank you for listening to today's shocking but incredibly important dialogue with one of the pioneers and champions of greater ethical integrity and transparency in the psychiatric profession. It is sad, indeed, that we don't have more visionary critical thinkers like Dr. David Healy! David (H), Rhonda, and David (B)

We continue our story on Roundup, the Monsanto company's best-selling herbicide. We discuss the evidence linking Roundup exposure with cancer (Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma). In 2017, the 'Monsanto Papers' were released showing that the company was trying to conceal the real health risks of their flagship product, Roundup. We discuss ghostwriting, and how corporate-written research papers about the drug Vioxx contributed to the death of at least 38,000 people. And when it comes to the health risks of Roundup, why do some research papers emphasize its safety, while others highlight its risks of cancer? ‘Bench Talk: The Week in Science' is a weekly program that airs on WFMP Louisville FORward Radio 106.5 FM (forwardradio.org) every Monday at 7:30 pm, Tuesday at 11:30 am, and Wednesday at 7:30 am.

In this candid solo episode, Jeffrey Mangus—CEO and Elite Memoir Ghostwriter at Mangus Media Group—pulls back the curtain on a major strategic shift that's redefining how healthcare leaders build lasting authority.For years, the ghostwriting world has been fragmented: one-off book projects, scattered freelancers, and no long-term strategy. But healthcare executives—running clinics, MSOs, practice groups, and franchises—demand systems, predictability, quarterly budgeting, and real ROI.Jeffrey explains why a traditional book isn't enough anymore. The real asset is authority infrastructure: referral credibility, recruitment power, thought leadership, speaking stages, media positioning, and a defensible brand moat.That's why Mangus Media Group is pivoting to a Healthcare Authority Publishing Subscription Platform—a true Blue Ocean category.No more transactional ghostwriting. Instead: a retained, quarterly-billed platform anchored by a flagship book, with live strategic coaching, publisher-led editing/production/distribution, and monthly content derived directly from your book's IP. Defined seats, guardrails, and predictable deliverables create operational excellence and scarcity for elite results.This isn't just a change—it's category creation. Healthcare leaders get a system that fits their world: risk-aware, reputation-focused, long-term thinking.If you're a healthcare founder, executive, or leader tired of fragmented authority-building and ready for infrastructure that sustains impact beyond one book...This episode is for you.Tune in for the full story behind the pivot, what makes it Blue Ocean, and why it's built specifically for healthcare.Ready to explore if this platform fits your vision?

Adam Skolnick earned his writing chops as a travel and adventure sports journalist for the New York Times, ESPN, the BBC and Lonely Planet. It taught him the vital skills of getting the words out immediately, and writing fast. He was the ghostwriter for David Goggins' memoirs 'Can't Hurt Me' and 'Never Finished'. Also published 'One Breath', about the world of free-diving, which was turned into a Netflix documentary, and 'Forever Swim', about open-water swimming legend Antonio Arguelles. Adam also appears in Rich Roll's fantastic podcast, discussing health and wellbeing. His new novel is 'American Tiger', about Bell Tern who, when on the school bus, sports a tiger roaming around the streets of suburban Los Angeles. It's rooted in the stunning southern Californian landscape and stacked with vivid characters. We discusses his attempts to 'de-sacredise' his space and day, also the different passes he does for each individual character, and what an idea needs to be to get him excited. You can hear about his new cue-card process, how the idea came during a free-diving competition, and how he deals with the fine line between creative burnout and being productive.This episode is sponsored by Ulysses.

In this interview I am once again joined by Dr Ben Joffe, anthropologist, occultist, and scholar practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism.
