Is homeopathy a gentle natural cure… or just really confident sugar pills? This week on Hysteria 51 Kevin Crispin of the Behind Beautiful Things podcast joins us as we dive into the strange world of “like cures like,” ultra-dilutions, and remedies so watered down they make LaCroix look concentrated. From onion pills for allergies to ghostly duck-liver flu treatments, we break down how homeopathy works, why people swear by it, and how it can turn downright dangerous when it replaces real medical care.We'll explore the bizarre history of homeopathy, its modern comeback as “alternative medicine,” and the very real harm when serious conditions get treated with nothing more than placebo pellets and good vibes. But we're also turning a skeptical eye on the U.S. healthcare system itself—because when seeing a real doctor costs a small mortgage payment, it's no wonder people reach for magic water. Tune in for jokes, science, and just enough rage to dilute your faith in everyone equally.Special thanks to this week's research sources:WebsitesArizona Homeopathic - https://arizonahomeopathic.org/homeopathy-and-covid-19/ Discover Homeopathy - https://www.discoverhomeopathy.co.uk/victims/ Science Based Medicine - https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/belief-in-homeopathy-results-in-the-death-of-a-7-year-old-italian-child/ Springer - https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00508-020-01624-x Scientific American - https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/hundreds-of-babies-harmed-by-homeopathic-remedies-families-say/ Perth Now - https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/cancer-victim-penelope-dingle-in-awe-of-homeopath---husband-ng-7c51c3e2f263eb5e4e530d5cb0a8b152 National Library of Medicine - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7253376/ National Library of Medicine - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1676328/Email us your favorite WEIRD news stories:weird@hysteria51.com Support the ShowGet exclusive content & perks as well as an ad and sponsor free experienceat https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51 from just $1 ShopBe the Best Dressed at your Cult Meeting!https://www.teepublic.com/stores/hysteria51?ref_id=9022See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Introduction Dr. Singh: Welcome to another episode of our podcast, my name is Dr. Harnek Singh, faculty in the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program. Today we have prepared a great episode about street medicine, a field that has grown a lot during the last decade and continues to grow now. We are joined by a guest who is passionate about this topic. Wase, please introduce yourself.Wase: Hello everyone, my name is Mohammed, many know me as Wasé, I am a 4th year medical student from the American University of the Caribbean. Today we're diving into a topic that sits at the intersection of medicine, compassion, and public health — Street Medicine and Harm Reduction. We're going to step outside with this episode, literally, away from the clinic and hospital, to explore more about what care looks like in the streets. Historic background: How did street medicine start?Wase: The roots of Street Medicine in the United States go back to Dr. Jim Withers in Pittsburgh in the 1990s, who literally began by dressing as a homeless person and providing care on the streets to build trust. His efforts have shaped street medicine to what it is today. It combines primary care, mental health, and social support. Dr. Singh: For family physicians, this model aligns perfectly with our holistic approach. We don't just treat diseases; we treat people in context — their environment, their challenges, their stories. What is the main population seen by a street medicine team?Wase: This patient population includes those struggling with homelessness, housing insecurity, food insecurity, substance use disorders; with patients being preoccupied on where they will sleep that night or when their next meal comes, they do not have the luxury of prioritizing their health. Street Medicine is a powerful outreach program to bring care to them in order to provide equitable care within our community. Dr. Singh: How is street medicine different than caring for patients in the clinic?Wase: Working on the street means we have to think differently about what healthcare looks like — and that's whereharm reductioncomes in.What is Harm Reduction?Wase: Harm reduction is a public health philosophy that focuses on reducing the negative consequences of high-risk behaviors, rather than demanding complete abstinence.Dr. Singh: Preventive care is the backbone of family medicine. For example, we keep up with the USPSTF guidelines and make sure our patients are up to date with their screenings. But what does that look like in the street medicine setting? Wase: In practice, that might mean:-needle exchange program: Offering clean syringes to prevent HIV transmission and removing used needles-distributing naloxone to prevent overdose deaths-offering fentanyl test-strips to prevent use of substances that are unknowingly laced with fentanylDr. Singh: Also:-providing condoms to prevent sexually transmitted infections-providing wound care to prevent further spread of infectionWase: Yes, the idea is: people are going to engage in risky behaviors whether or not we approve of it, so let's meet them with compassion, tools, and trust instead of judgment. Harm reduction also applies beyond substance use; think about safer sex education, or even diabetic foot care among people who can't refrigerate insulin or change shoes daily. It's all about meeting people where they areandkeeping them alive and engaged in care. Planning in Street Medicine: Wase: It takes careful disposition planning and aftercare for this population. Instead of the traditional outpatient setting where we can place referrals and expect our patients to follow through with them. On street medicine, for follow up visits it requires arranging transportation, finding a pharmacy close in proximity, educating and counseling on medication adherence and how to make it, and making sure they have some sort of shelter to get by. Dr. Singh: Let's describe a typical street med encounter.Wase: A typical Street Medicine encounter might look like this: a small team — usually a physician, nurse, social worker, and sometimes a peer advocate — goes out with backpacks of supplies. They might start with wound care, blood pressure checks, or even medication refills. But what's just as important is the relationship-building. Sometimes, the first visit isn't about medicine at all — it's about showing up consistently.Over time, that trust opens the door for conversations about addiction treatment, mental health, and preventive care. For example, in some California Street Medicine programs, teams are treating chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and hepatitis C, right where patients live with the same evidence-based care we'd give in a clinic. One of my favorite quotes from Street Medicine teams is: “We're not bringing people to healthcare; we're bringing healthcare to people.”Challenges in Street Medicine:Wase: The populations that you will encounter include many people who will often downplay their own health concerns and prior diagnoses. Unfortunately, this is usually from countless months or years of feeling neglected by our healthcare system. Some may even express distrust in our healthcare system and healthcare providers. Patient will, at times, be apprehensive to receive care or trust you enough to tell their story. Dr. Singh: Interviewing patients is a critical aspect of providing equitable care on the streets. It is always important to offer support and medical care, even if the patient denies it, always reassure that your street medicine clinic will be around every week and ready for them when they would like to seek care. Wase: Respecting patient autonomy is an utmost concern as well. Another element of interviewing to consider is to invite new ideas and information; instead of lecturing patients about taking medications on time or telling them they need to stop doing drugs—simply asking a patient “would you like to know more about how we can help you stop using opioids?” respects their choice but can also spark new ideas for them to consider. Singh: Adaptability is another key component to exceling patient care in street medicine. Like, performing physical exams on park benches or in the back of a minivan. Always doing good with our care but also respecting their autonomy is crucial in building a trust that these patients once lost with our system. Wase: Each patient has their own timeline, but we as providers should always assure them that our door is always open for them when they are ready to seek care. Conclusion.Wase: So, to wrap up — Street Medicine and harm reduction remind us that healthcare isn't just about hospitals and clinics. It's about relationships, trust, and dignity.Every patient deserves care, no matter where they sleep at night.If you're a resident or student listening, I encourage you to seek out these experiences — volunteer with Street Medicine teams, learn from harm reduction workers, and let it shape how you practice medicine. Thank you for listening to this episode of the Rio Bravo qWeek podcast. I'm Mohammed — and I hope this conversation inspires you to meet patients where they are and walk with them on their journey to health.Dr. Singh: If you liked this episode, share it with a friend or a colleague. This is Dr. Singh, signing off.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

Online misogyny is becoming a defining feature of digital life, amplified by algorithms and enabled by platforms that fail to protect users. As violence against women intensifies across online spaces, the stakes for gender equality and for democracy itself have never been higher.Violence online is surging at a moment when digital spaces should be becoming more inclusive. Algorithms reward outrage, platform design obscures abuse, and hostile online communities allow those who target women to organise and radicalise. As a result, violence that begins online increasingly spills into public life.But the consequences go far beyond individual harm. Abuse aimed at women in politics is already deterring them from seeking re-election, while global progress on gender equality is slowing. With governments struggling to regulate fast-moving platforms and profit incentives working against user safety, digital spaces are becoming sites where exclusion is reproduced at scale.With the stakes rising, the questions are pressing. What is driving this rapid escalation in online misogyny? How are design choices and political inaction enabling it? And what would it take to turn digital spaces into environments that strengthen equality rather than deepen exclusion?GuestsSara Pantuliano (host), Chief Executive, ODI GlobalSasha Havlicek, CEO & Founder, Institute for strategic dialogue Seyi Akiwowo, Author, How To Stay Safe Online and Founder 21/20 StudiosDiana Jiménez Rodriguez, Senior Research Officer, ODI Global Related resourcesHidden in plain sight: how the infrastructure of social media shapes gender norms | ALIGN PlatformDigital sexual violence against women in Mexico: role of the Olimpia Law in transforming underlying gender norms | ALIGN PlatformSocial media, violence and gender norms: the need for a new digital social contract | ALIGN PlatformDrivers of tech-facilitated GBV in Mexico: A behavioural research study in Oaxaca and Estado of México | ALIGN PlatformWhy online safety policies and digital advocacy are essential for women's political participation | ALIGN PlatformBreak the bias to challenge gender norms on social media | ODI Global

Therapy is meant to be a place of healing - but what happens when it causes harm instead?In this powerful episode, I'm joined by therapist, supervisor and trainer Erin Stevens, who specialises in working with people who have experienced harm in previous therapy. Together we explore how harm in therapy can happen - even when we have good intentions - and what we can do as therapists to reduce the risk, respond to rupture, and create safer therapeutic spaces.We talk about the role of power and boundaries, why cultural misattunement often goes unacknowledged, and how shame can block honest reflection in supervision. Erin also shares their own story of being harmed in therapy and what helped them come back to the profession with compassion and clarity.Whether you've ever worried you might be getting it wrong - or just want to understand this issue more deeply - this conversation is for you.Takeaways:What “harm in therapy” really means - and why it's so often missedHow boundary confusion and power imbalances can erode trustThe emotional labour of marginalised clientsWhy naming harm doesn't make you a bad therapistHow to use supervision as a place of growth, not shamePractical steps for making your practice safer and more accountableErin Stevens (she/they) is a therapist, supervisor, writer and trainer based in West Yorkshire. Erin specialises in working with people who have been harmed in previous therapy and is passionate about raising awareness of the increased risk of harm for clients with marginalised identities.

A woman calls for help after being strangled in her own home. He shows a scratch; she leaves in handcuffs. From that moment, the system that promised safety starts to mirror the control she's trying to escape. That's the hard truth we face with researcher and practitioner Lisa Young Laurence, whose new book, Broken, gathers the long-view stories of 33 women navigating coercive control, wrongful arrest, child protection, court, and probation.We unpack how the victim–perpetrator binary distorts reality, how funding and mandates reward incident-based thinking, and why context, intent, and impact must replace “a hit is a hit.” Lisa explains the “web of power” that connects first response to courtrooms and case plans, showing how misidentification robs survivors—especially low-income women of color—of liberty, employment, and custody. We contrast gendered patterns of accountability: women who admit and take responsibility even while surviving abuse, and men who deny, deflect, and mobilize institutions against partners.Amid the failures are bright anchors of repair. A child protection worker who gives the “whole layout” changes a family's trajectory. A probation officer shifts dates, protects parenting time, and quietly engineers safe relocation when threats escalate. We dig into documentation as a long-lived force—how a single line in a case note can shadow a mother for a decade, and how behaviorally specific, pattern-based records can be a lifeline. We also ask the question systems avoid: did calling the police make life better over six to sixty months? If not, what will it take to make a “yes” the norm?Told in first-person conversation with warmth and candor, this episode blends survivor voice, practitioner insight, and practical steps: center coercive control, measure impact on functioning, build cross-agency flexibility, and write records that reflect reality. If you care about domestic violence, child protection, probation, or community safety, this is a clear-eyed guide to doing less harm and more good.If this moved you, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway—what would you change first?Read the book: Broken, Women's Stories of Intimate and Institutional Harm and Repair https://www.ucpress.edu/books/broken/paperSend us a text Now available!

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) The State of Connecticut charged Teresa Beatty $249 per day, every day, while she was in prison for a minor drug offense from 2000 to 2002—But she wouldn't discover this until 20 years later. When her mother died in 2020, the State of Connecticut filed a notice in probate court demanding approximately 35%—over $83,000—of Beatty's inheritance. And it was perfectly legal. In fact, at least 45 states in America force you to pay (literally) for the privilege of being imprisoned in a country with one of the highest incarceration rates in the world... This is Beatty v.

Dina Gilio-Whitaker knows that it's complicated to talk about Native American identity. She occupies a gray zone herself: she's a legal descendant of the Colville Confederated Tribes but not an enrolled member. As she worked to make sense of her own liminal identity, she also started witnessing a troubling phenomenon: people coming forward with fraudulent claims to Nativeness. Dina — now an academic — tells Anita about the personal experiences that led her to research this phenomenon, the harms this “pretendianism” perpetuates and the conversations she's starting about possible solutions.Meet the guest:- Dina Gilio-Whitaker is a lecturer at California State University San Marcos and the author of “Who Gets to Be Indian?

This ethical failure extends beyond outdated diet advice to newer interventions like GLP-1 medications, where we celebrate short-term metabolic improvements while ignoring gastrointestinal distress, financial burden, social isolation, and unknown long-term consequences. In this episode, Asher challenges the dangerous assumption that fat people should suffer to become thinner, exposing how this narrative serves the weight loss industry's profits while treating fat bodies as unworthy of basic ethical consideration in healthcare. Got a question for the next podcast?

In this conversation, SC Nealy and I discuss the impact of beliefs and oppressive systems on the creation of trauma, emphasizing the need for healthier approaches to spirituality and community involvement. We discuss their work in the LGBTQ+ community, with their dedication to the intersection of mental health and social involvement, where the role of the therapist doesn't just exist in the therapeutic space, but extends into advocacy for civil rights and support for minorities. Rather than promoting a binary choice of religious or secularism, we discuss the need for resources that support individuals who choose to remain within religious and/or spiritual communities while avoiding harmful ideologies. SC Nealy, LPC (they/she) is a therapist and owner of an all queer and trans-identifying therapy practice in Washington, DC that focuses on bringing therapists with lived experiences to the LGBT+ population. They specialize in religious trauma work and their first non-fiction book, Healing Sacred Wounds, will be published by Bloomsbury in Fall 2026. Visit lgbtcounselingdmv.com for more information, or follow SC Nealy online at @scnealy on Instagram and @booksbysarahrobinson on Facebook. www.lgbtcounselingdmv.com www.instagram.com/scnealy www.facebook.com/booksbysarahrobinson Takeaways Beliefs and oppressive systems can cause trauma. Spirituality can exist without harming others. Resources for deconstruction are often limited. Not everyone is ready to deconstruct their beliefs. Healthy engagement in religious communities is possible. Creating spaces for those who choose to stay is important. Support for mental health within religious contexts is needed. Deconstructing is not the only path to healing. Community health can be prioritized in spiritual practices.

On today's show, I discuss the difference between hurt and harm in power exchange. We look at how emotional coercion hides behind consent, how both Doms and subs can cross lines without realizing it, and what recovery looks like after control or manipulation. It's about learning to hold power with care, not fear, because while we can consent to hurt, we cannot consent to harm.Continue the discussion on Fetlife: @Enhanced-MindDon't forget to hit the follow button and rate my show 5 stars so others may find it.

Many women allow their children to stand in the gap and suffer to keep heat off of them as the mom, to keep the man, or just to get what they want! It is destroying, devastating, and causing destruction in the lives of their children. I truly pray for children growing up in today's world. Moms and dads should protect their children. Mom's should be nurturers, teachers, and protectors of their children. Adults in general should protect children, and not use and abuse them!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/relationships-and-relatable-life-chronicles--4126439/support.

Today is day 313 and we are studying The Sixth Commandment. 313. Is it always wrong to harm or kill another? There are circumstances in which justice, the protection of the weak and defenseless, and the preservation of life may require acts of violence. It is the particular task of government to uphold these principles in society. However, our Lord calls us to show mercy and to return evil with good. (Numbers 35:9–34; Matthew 5:43–45; Romans 12:17–21; 13:1–4; Articles of Religion 37) We will conclude today by praying Prayer 27.For the Peace of the Whole World found on page 654 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Welcome to Bear With Me, a new interview show on politics from The Brown Daily Herald newsroom. I'm your host, Evan Tao. This first episode is about drugs. Providence is becoming an innovator in the realm of drug policy. This past year, it opened the first overdose prevention center in the United States outside of New York. It represents something of a revolution in drug policy. Instead of aggressively policing drug use, instead of passively letting it take place on the street, what if instead the government created a safe place for people to use drugs?Researchers at Brown are studying the methods and effectiveness of the overdose prevention center. At the same time students here at Brown have launched a club called Harm Reduction Coalition, which aims to connect students to volunteering at the OPC and advocates for the Harm reduction school of thought in drug policy. Today, I'm speaking with Kavita Doobay '27, a junior at Brown and one of the co-founders and co-leaders of Harm Reduction Coalition.

The Queensland health minister has issued a new order banning the prescription of puberty blockers for transgender patients, just hours after the state's supreme court ruled the government's first attempt was unlawful. It is now the only state to have banned gender-affirming care for transgender children. But parents say they are not backing away from the fight. Reged Ahmad speaks with Queensland correspondent Ben Smee and state reporter Andrew Messenger about whether Queensland's ban on puberty blockers is ideologically driven You can support the Guardian at theguardian.com/fullstorysupport

The Bible has often been misused to wound and exclude, with distorted interpretations justifying harm. Drawing on his own experiences of being rejected by faith communities, Pastor Zach Lambert wrote “Better ways to read the Bible: Transforming a weapon of harm into a tool of healing” to share how to reframe Scripture as a source … Continue reading "From harm to healing: ‘Better ways to read the Bible'"

SUMMARY In this episode of Whistlekick Martial Arts Radio, Andrew Adams is joined by Stephen Watson and Tommy Given. They delve into the concept of self-defense without causing harm. They explore the use of force spectrum, the philosophy of non-violence in martial arts, and the complexities involved in teaching techniques that prioritize de-escalation over aggression. The conversation emphasizes the importance of communication, conflict resolution, and the need for martial artists to reflect on their motivations and the impact of their actions.   TAKEAWAYS Self-defense can be taught without causing harm. The use of force spectrum is crucial in martial arts. Martial artists often struggle with their ego in conflict situations. Teaching non-violent techniques is essential for instructors. Conflict resolution should be prioritized over aggression. Understanding the motivations behind martial arts training is important. Communication plays a key role in de-escalating situations. The philosophy of non-violence can enhance martial arts practice. Complexity in training can lead to deeper understanding. True healing occurs when both parties walk away changed.

Content Warning: This episode addresses sensitive and potentially triggering topics within the psychedelic space, including ethical misconduct, facilitator abuse, and sexual abuse. We encourage you to prioritize your well-being and skip this episode if you are feeling sensitive to these topics at this time.This episode explores how unbalanced power dynamics create an environment where abuse patterns, like overriding client autonomy and gaslighting, flourish in caretaker positions like psychedelic facilitation.

I learned a lot in this conversation with Alison Mau about her life and journey and what has led to the setting up of Tika.  Curiousity guided the questions and we talk about a lot of things starting with her childhood, growing up in Melbourne, experiences at primary school that shaped her and led to a resilient attitude, the special bond she feels with horses and why that is so, becoming a journalist back in the analogue days before lots of computers or dictaphons, and her presenting on TV and how she ended up in New Zealand.  Then we focus in on the setting up of Tika which is a charity that empowers people to come forward to report past sexual harm and how it works, what it means and the future potential.   And an encouragment for us all: "Happiness for me is not in money, possessions or anything like that - it is, how can I be useful..."

Today we’re joined by one of the world’s leading experts on teen drinking and prevention—Professor Rob Turrisi, a Penn State researcher whose 35+ years of work have shaped national programs through MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) and schools across the U.S. In this important and hope-filled conversation, Professor Turrisi unpacks why teens start drinking, what actually works when it comes to prevention, and how parents can foster healthy, connected relationships that reduce risk and build trust. If you’re a parent, mentor, teacher, or anyone who cares about the next generation, this episode offers both science and a compassionate look at what helps, what doesn’t, and how small, everyday actions can have lifelong impact.

Dr. Irwin Goldstein is one of America's leading sexual health physicians, a pioneer in the field, and the director of San Diego Sexual Medicine.In this episode, he breaks down his latest research into what's known as post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD)—a condition that's not uncommon but rarely discussed publicly.He's found that a class of antidepressants known as SSRIs can cause lasting physiological damage even after patients discontinue the medication—contrary to what many patients are told.“When they stop the medicine, the usual teaching is that everyone returns to their pre-medication sexual function, and that's not what we're seeing in our sexual health clinic here,” Dr. Goldstein says.His recent research showed that SSRIs can cause structural damage to genital tissue as well as many other physiological problems, like genital numbness, erectile dysfunction, and loss of libido. These problems persist long-term after discontinuing SSRI antidepressants.“It's kind of an awful thing, and it doesn't go away,” Dr. Goldstein says. “These individuals in my clinic who have been given the medicines: Our youngest is age 11. They'll never experience what one would otherwise consider a normal sexual life.”Dr. Goldstein holds a degree in engineering from Brown University and a medical degree from McGill University in Montreal. He is credited with advancing the study and treatment of both male and female sexual dysfunctions and has authored more than 360 academic publications in the field.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Antidepressant use during pregnancy disrupts fetal brain development and increases the risk of long-term mental health problems in children Babies exposed to SSRI antidepressants in the womb often suffer withdrawal symptoms at birth, including weak muscle tone, poor feeding, and breathing difficulties Research shows counseling for depression lowers the risk of preterm birth, while antidepressant use increases it, highlighting the importance of non-drug approaches Major medical organizations and media outlets continue to downplay these risks, leaving many mothers unaware of safer alternatives Natural strategies like proper nutrition, exercise, sunlight, and stress management provide effective ways to support your mental health during pregnancy without harming your baby
