Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet is president and CEO of Truth for Health Foundation. Since February 2020, she has been part of the team of frontline physicians treating COVID early at home. With Dr. Peter McCullough, she is a co-author/editor of the Guide to COVID Early Treatment: Options to Stay Out of Hospital and Save Your Life. Jim noted that today Senator Ron Johnson held a hearing and released 2,400 pages of records detailing the failure of federal health agencies, under the Biden administration, to properly warn the public about the risk of myocarditis-related heart inflammation conditions following the mRNA COVID-19 vaccinations. Dr. Vliet responded by indicating how unconscionable it was that our taxpayer dollars were going to federal agencies that were lying to us and allowing people to die as a result of their push of this experimental, gene-therapy shot. This is the first salvo in a program that looks at other troubling news coming forth concerning the COVID-19 shots. For example, Dr. Vliet commented on the following: A peer reviewed study in Pediatric Rheumatology indicates that children and adolescents who received at least one COVID-19 shot had a 23% higher risk of developing autoimmune disease compared to unvaccinated children. Scientists at Johns Hopkins University confirm that COVID vaccines are reducing human population by lowering birth rates. A senior medical advisor at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, who is also a world-renowned virologist, is warning that the mRNA vaccines are a dangerous experiment as he raises alarms about the presence of the cancer-causing SV-40 enhancer in the injections.

This week the podcast looks at another of those knotty, seemingly intractable issues sat on Labour's in-tray when they entered government last year; namely social care.To look at how successive administrations have failed to grasp the nettle and deal with the rising costs of a sector that has ballooned in size to deal with our ageing population, host Alain Tolhurst is joined on the panel by Paulette Hamilton, Labour MP and the acting chair of the health and social care select committee, as well as Joe Robertson, Tory MP for the Isle of Wight who also sits on the select committee.Alongside them are Lucinda Allen, policy fellow in social care at The Health Foundation, and Will Dalton, national officer for care at the GMB union, to discuss Andrew Dilnot's infamous unimplemented review, Theresa May's election-losing dementia tax, and what Keir Starmer's government is doing to take on the care crisis.They argue whether the latest review is another exercise in kicking the can down the road, and what impact this week's immigration white paper will have on the sector's massive vacancy issues, while later on in the episode Joe Dromey from the Fabian Society talks about the think tank's proposals for dealing with pay and recruitment.To sign up for our newsletters click herePresented by Alain Tolhurst, produced by Nick Hilton and edited by Ewan Cameron for Podot

It's been two months since the government first announced its plans to enact the largest welfare reforms for a generation, aiming 'to help sick and disabled people who can and have the potential to work into jobs'. Since then, there has been considerable debate about the consequences of these reforms. But why does the government want to implement reforms in the first place? How does the current system work? And what could the impact be for those receiving these benefits?In this episode, Helen is joined by Tom Waters, Associate Director at IFS, and David Finch, Assistant Director at the Health Foundation, to unpack the government's proposals and explore what they mean for the future of health-related benefits.Become a member: https://ifs.org.uk/individual-membershipFind out more: https://ifs.org.uk/podcasts-explainers-and-calculators/podcasts Hosted on Acast.

It's 2 years since Keir Starmer first set out his five missions for government, including a health mission to build ‘an NHS fit for the future' and ‘a fairer Britain, where everyone lives well for longer'. Missions were supposed to mean a new way of doing government – focused on ambitious, long-term objectives that provide a driving sense of purpose for the country. So, with Labour now in office for 9 months, what have we learned about how mission-driven government works in practice? Are clues emerging about how government plans to improve the nation's health beyond the confines of the NHS? And do missions show signs of bringing about durable changes in policy and how the state works?  To discuss, our Chief Executive Jennifer Dixon is joined by: Hannah White, Director at the Institute for Government.  Jo Bibby, Director of Health at the Health Foundation.  Show notes Institute for Government (2025).

Canine Health Foundation Celebrates 30 years Stephanie Montgomery, CEO of the AKC Canine Health Foundation, joins host Laura Reeves to catch up on what the powerful non-profit has done and continues to do for all dogs. Montgomery, an Airedale fancier, joined CHF as the CEO in 2023, but “I was able to kind of blend my passion for science and dogs and started volunteering for the Canine Health Foundation as a scientific reviewer. And then I always say I'm a failed volunteer because now I'm working here. “We are celebrating our 30th year anniversary this year, founded in 1995. And what I was so impressed by was that folks had this vision. So what we do is we fundraise, right? And we distribute that money. To fund the best research that will advance the health of all dogs. So we do that through awarding grants to researchers that tend to be at veterinary schools. And when we evaluate those grants, we wanna find the most cutting-edge research that's going to have the biggest impact on dogs, and that's what we've done for 30 years. Canine Health Foundation helped fund the work conducted at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center that identified the canine genome. This is the basis for all ensuing DNA testing since 2004. “Prior to 1995 when CHF started, there was no dog genome,” Montgomery said. “The human genome had only been completed two years prior and it was pivotal. It changed the way that we could look at genetic testing and evolution of dogs and develop tools in veterinary medicine. CHF's contribution to ground breaking science continues to this day with research at hundreds of Universities, including studies into mitral valve disease that impacts millions of dogs. “I'm so happy to see the work being done because mitral valve disease is so common in all of the dogs,” Montgomery noted. “I'm a pathologist and the number of older dogs that don't have some mitral valve disease is really next to none. They all have it and we understand so little about it, even though it's so common. And so I'm so excited that we have new studies going that help us understand the physiology of how this disease develops. It will help us identify targets for future therapies. We also have studies on how to best diagnose and monitor progression so maybe we can make a difference and impact all these dogs that have mitral valve disease.”

In the documentary Growing up Gypsy, Stacey Dooley gets to know three young English Romany Gypsy women. Invited into the traditionally private community, Stacey discovers the complex balancing act the young women face growing up in one of Britain's most maligned ethnic minorities. She meets 23 year old Chantelle who prides herself in keeping with the ‘old' Gypsy values her granny Rita taught her and shares her ‘Gypsy Cleaning' videos on social media where she has nearly 400,000 followers on TikTok and 15 million likes on her page. Chantelle joined Kylie Pentelow to talk about her life, alongside Stacey Dooley.In this week's Women's Prize discussion, Clare McDonnell heard from two authors about the debut books they've had long-listed for this year's prestigious literary prize. Sanam Mahloudji's novel, The Persians, tells the story of the Valiat family from the perspective of five women from 1940s Iran into a splintered 2000s. And Labour MP Yuan Yang's non-fiction book, Private Revolutions, explores the lives of four women born in China in the 1980s and 90s during a time of rapid change in society.Since its release, the Netflix TV series Adolescence has caused widespread discussion about what's shaping our teenagers' lives. The four-part series follows the fallout from 13-year-old Jamie's arrest on suspicion of murdering his female classmate, Katie. The show is a critique of social media-boosted toxic masculinity and its role in the teenage experience. Clare discussed the issues with clinical psychologist, Dr Amani Milligan and Consultant Forensic Psychologist, Dr Ruth Tully.Do you enjoy a bit of gossip? The thrill of being the first to hear something and sharing it, or the irresistible urge to be let into the lives of others? What's the difference between idle gossip and hurtful criticism behind someone's back, do women gossip as much as men and can gossip be used to keep women safe? American journalist Kelsey McKinney joined Clare to discuss her new book, You Didn't Hear This From Me: Notes on the Art of Gossip.Technology journalist and author Lara Lewington asks how artificial intelligence can improve women's health, and what we are ready for it to do for us? From prevention and diagnostics to testing and tracking, we speak to female experts, scientists and practitioners. Her experts include Madhumita Murgia, AI Editor of the Financial Times, Nell Thornton, Improvement Fellow, The Health Foundation and Dr Ellie Cannon, a GP and author.This week we heard how victims and survivors of domestic abuse want the police to better protect them from perpetrators, but there's also a very practical and positive way some women have been trying to process their trauma to build a future for themselves. British boxer Lesley Sackey - who previously won gold at the EU Championships - is a survivor of an abusive relationship and now helps other women to gain confidence and move forward by getting into the boxing ring. She joined Claire, along with Olivia Culverhouse, who took part in Lesley's 10-week Fight Forward course.Presenter: Kylie Pentelow Producer: Annette Wells Editor: Sarah Crawley

What does it take to build a healthy heart and mind? Too often, we think of physical and mental health as separate—but they’re more connected than we realize. Dr. Scott Lear, a Professor in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University and the Pfizer/Heart and Stroke Foundation Chair in Cardiovascular Prevention Research, has spent decades studying how to prevent heart disease. Imagine his surprise when he was diagnosed with it! In this episode, Dr. Lear shares his journey, the powerful link between heart and brain health, and why small, everyday choices can make a big impact on your longevity and well-being. From movement and nutrition to managing stress, he breaks down practical, science-backed steps that anyone can take to improve their heart health. He also opens up about his experience with depression, the moment he knew he needed help, and why removing the stigma around mental health is just as important as preventing heart disease. If you’ve ever delayed a checkup, ignored symptoms, or brushed off stress as "just part of life," this episode will change how you think about your health—before it’s too late.

Kansas State University and the Kansas Health Foundation are combining efforts to drive meaningful change in Kansas through anti-hunger and other initiatives to promote health, well-being and economic prosperity for Kansans. A key piece of the partnership involves collaborative efforts to ignite innovative and experimental projects at the local level, guided by K-State Research and Extension agents. Kansas Health Foundation president and CEO, Ed O'Malley, says they got involved with the initiative because for a long time he's viewed Extension as the most valuable piece of civic infrastructure in Kansas. Sound Living is a weekly public affairs program addressing issues related to families and consumers. It is hosted by Jeff Wichman. Each episode shares the expertise of K-State specialists in fields such as child nutrition, food safety, adult development and aging, youth development, family resource management, physical fitness and more. Send comments, questions or requests for copies of past programs to ksrenews@ksu.edu. K‑State Research and Extension is a short name for the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, a program designed to generate and distribute useful knowledge for the well‑being of Kansans. Supported by county, state, federal and private funds, the program has county Extension offices, experiment fields, area Extension offices and regional research centers statewide. Its headquarters is on the K‑State campus in Manhattan.

Hannah Brinsden, head of policy and advocacy at the Food Foundation is with a panel from politics, policy, academia and investment to discuss what we need from the new government, including from the new food strategy and the mission boards, to really incentivize a healthier food system and ensure everyone can access and afford a healthy diet. The episode is part of our recipe for change campaign led by Sustain, The Food Foundation, Obesity Health Alliance, with a wider coalition of nearly 50 supporting organisations. The campaign is calling for the government to introduce a new tax on food companies to encourage them to improve the healthiness of the food they sell us and play their part in supporting our health. To discuss the opportunities of the new government and what is to come, Hannah is joined by Alison Tedstone, former Department of Health and Public Health England chief nutritionist; conservative peer, James Bethell; Adam Briggs from the Health Foundation and Antony Yousefian, a partner at The First Thirty Ventures.

Pure Telecom, the Irish-owned fibre broadband and telecoms company, has officially opened a multisensory room for children visiting Children's Health Ireland at Connolly. The room and services were entirely funded by Pure Telecom's fundraising initiatives for Children's Health Foundation. Children's Health Foundation raises vital funds to support sick children and their families in Ireland. It has been instrumental in driving cutting-edge research into childhood illness and treatment while also supplying funds for state-of-the-art facilities, advanced equipment, and enhanced services for Ireland's most critically ill children. In total, Pure Telecom has raised more than €130,000 for Children's Health Foundation through a combination of staff and customer fundraising initiatives. The multisensory facility offers a stress relief haven for children visiting the Children's Health Ireland at Connolly urgent care centre. It has been tailor-made to benefit those with autism, learning challenges and sensory sensitivities. The busy hospital environment can be challenging for these children and their families, which can impact their overall experience and ability to receive the service they need. The room provides a tranquil escape from what can be a sensory overload and features soothing elements including gentle lighting, immersive wall projections, tactile objects and calming shimmering lights. The room is expected to benefit hundreds of the patients and their families who attend Children's Health Ireland at Connolly each year. Speaking about the room, Fionna Brennan, Director of Nursing Children's Health Ireland at Tallaght & Connolly said 'The multisensory room is of huge benefit to children who attend Children's Health Ireland at Connolly. These facilities offer a therapeutic benefit for patients with sensory issues and allow a safe, calming place for children before and after procedures. The opening of this facility marks another positive step forward in creating a holistic, inclusive and calming environment at what can often be a stressful or overwhelming time for families and children." Paul Connell, CEO, Pure Telecom, said: "Children's Health Foundation are working to support sick children and their families in Ireland. Through the generosity of our customers and staff, we have raised vital funds that are bringing about positive change in the lives of those facing extremely challenging times. "We chose Children's Health Foundation as our charity partner because of the enormous role it plays in the health of children in Ireland. It is an honour to support an incredible organisation that touches hearts, heals wounds, and spreads rays of joy amidst adversity." Nessa O'Reilly, Head of Strategic Giving, Children's Health Foundation, said: "Pure Telecom is playing a crucial and much-valued role in improving the wellbeing of sick patients and their families. Our organisation relies entirely on the kind contributions from donors, which makes fundraising initiatives from companies such as Pure Telecom even more crucial. "Their compassionate efforts towards supporting sick children are deeply appreciated, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude to their employees and customers for their incredible generosity and unwavering support."

Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet is president and CEO of Truth for Health Foundation. Since February 2020, she's been part of the team of frontline physicians treating COVID early at home. With Dr. Peter McCullough, she is a co-author-editor of the Guide to COVID Early Treatment- Options to Stay Out of Hospital and Save Your Life. She is a past director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. --The 77th World Health Organization Assembly is over and the pandemic treaty was not passed. Dr. Vliet believes they are distracting people by saying that the treaty ran into problems so it's only on the -back burner- until the next gathering when there's less pressure and less public focus. --What they did -under the radar- was to pass International Health Regulatory Agreement amendments from the 2005 agreement. She contends that the amendments that were passed are more draconian than ever. For example, in one of the amendments they now have arrest power for anyone who criticizes the avian flu vaccines.--Is avian -bird- flu rampant in animals-- Dr. Vliet says it's not because the unreliable PCR test is being used as a diagnostic test when in fact, it's not and never has been. Nonetheless it's being used to claim bird flu in animals which is an excuse to slaughter the food supply and scare people into receiving more experimental shots. In other words, the playbook that was used in 2020 for the COVID pandemic -and disrupt the election- is being used in regard to the avian flu situation. --From cancer to court cases, to gain-of-function and more, a lot is covered for you to hear and to share with others, on this edition of Crosstalk.
