Podcasts about Hepatitis C

In Episode 136 of DC EKG, Joe Grogan hosts Tom Barker, a top drug-pricing attorney at Foley Hoag and former acting general counsel of Health and Human Services (HHS) under the Bush administration. Tom helped implement Medicare Part D and now advises drugmakers and policymakers on complex pricing issues. The episode traces 20 years of policy: what went right with Part D, what the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) did, and what effective policy should look like.Tom explains that Part D's success rested on three pillars: private plans only, limited government control over benefit design, and a non-interference clause barring the government from intervening in negotiations among plans, pharmacies, and manufacturers. Competition worked and premiums stayed low, until the government asserted more control and weakened those pillars. The IRA, he argues, was a 16-year Democratic effort to repeal non-interference, creating price controls disguised as negotiations.The Trump administration has taken a different tack, focusing not on the IRA but on MFN and Globe Guard models pegged to other developed countries. Tom also breaks down the 340B program, now the country's second-largest expenditure program, and the fight between manufacturers and covered entities over contract pharmacies.His prescription is simple: let competition work. Speed FDA approval of generics and biosimilars, and trust the marketplace over price controls. He points to hepatitis C, where prices fell sharply once competition entered.In This ConversationThe three pillars that made Part D successful for 20 yearsHow non-interference kept government from setting drug pricesThe IRA as a 16-year Democratic push to repeal non-interferenceWhy Tom calls the IRA price controls disguised as negotiationsThe Trump administration's focus on MFN and Globe Guard pricing340B and the battle between manufacturers and covered entitiesThe Chevron repeal's impact on drug pricing lawHRSA's proposed rebate model and ongoing 340B litigationWhy effective policy means competition, not controlsTom's work helping North Korean defectors and refugeesKey Timestamps1:51 Tom's background at HHS and CMS2:30 The three pillars of Part D's success5:10 Why Democrats wanted to repeal non-interference5:55 Ted Kennedy's compromise and bipartisan votes11:38 The IRA as a 16-year repeal attempt12:03 What the IRA changed in Part D15:02 IRA negotiations vs. real negotiations16:25 How the excise tax makes it no real negotiation21:32 Trump's focus on MFN and Globe Guard25:37 340B's history back to 199128:45 340B as the second-biggest expenditure program29:30 Manufacturer vs. covered-entity acrimony33:18 The Chevron repeal's impact on pricing34:54 HRSA's rebate model, the next step on 340B35:40 The lawsuit over "patient" in 340B38:18 Tom's advice: let competition work39:30 Hepatitis C: competition drives prices down40:34 Competition for gene therapies and CRISPR41:36 Tom's work for North Korean defectors44:49 Sponsoring Free North Korea RadioMedicare Part D, drug pricing policy, Inflation Reduction Act, non-interference clause, 340B program, MFN pricing, Globe Guard pricing, pharmacy benefit managers, covered entities, contract pharmacies, biosimilars, generics, federal drug pricing, government price controls, Tom BarkerAbout the GuestTom Barker is a partner at Foley Hoag in Washington, DC, and one of the country's top drug pricing attorneys.

New York State's Hepatitis C Dashboard shows that in 2023, 4,783 people were newly diagnosed with HCV in the state, an 8% decrease from 2022. Incidence also decreased, with the rate of new HCV infections dropping from 4.0 to 3.6 per 100,000 population among adult New Yorkers. Despite these gains, progress towards elimination has been stalled by reliance on a multi-step diagnostic algorithm to confirm viremia. In populations with the highest risk of infection – including people who inject drugs – testing and treatment are often inaccessible due to barriers along the care cascade. On June 27, 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized the first point-of-care (POC) HCV RNA test that can be performed where a person receives care, like an outpatient clinic or mobile unit. The availability of a POC HCV RNA testing, which can provide a qualitative results in 60 minutes, unlocks New York's ability to integrate a test-and-treat approach where a person can be tested for HCV, and if positive for HCV RNA, be linked to care and potentially receive treatment during the same health care visit. To achieve elimination goals, simplified care that engaged people who inject drugs is essential, and single encounter testing and treatment offers a new tool to significantly expand access, decrease time from diagnosis to treatment and increase the number of New Yorkers who are treated for HCV. Today's episode will focus on this new diagnostic tool and its potential impact on HCV elimination across New York.

Episode 223: Oncogenic Viruses Introduction Mehr: Hi everyone, welcome back to the Rio Bravo qweek podcast. Back by popular demand is Me, Mehr Boparai a third-year medical student at COMP-NW. Here with me is Jeremy Pan from COMP who is also a third-year medical student. How are you doing Jeremy? Jeremy: I'm doing great Mehr.Thanks for the kind intro; we had a fun time this morning doing street medicine and had some practice giving Toradol injections and wound dressings. So excited to be back for another podcast episode this afternoon! Mehr: This week, we are moving away from bacteria and antibiotics and diving deeper into cancer-causing viruses. Jeremy: Yes, and if you are interested at all in public health, this is one of those areas where medicine overlaps with public health in a really tangible way. I think one of the most underappreciated aspects of this topic is that we have vaccines that can prevent many of these cancers. If you told someone 50 years ago we'd be vaccinating against cancer, they probably wouldn't believe you! It's amazing to see how far medicine has come. How viruses cause cancer: Jeremy: Before jumping into specific viruses, I always think having a mechanism-based framework makes everything stick better. Mehr: Right, because they don't all cause cancer the same way. Medicine can never be easy huh? Jeremy: Yea…this career really is just a lifetime of discovery. So just to start, in broad terms, we can think of three main buckets of how viruses can cause cancer: Direct oncogenesis where viral proteins interfere with tumor suppressors like P53 and Rb. We will go over their specific mechanisms a little later in the discussion. Mehr:  Chronic inflammation where viruses cause repeated injury through production of reactive oxygen species. They also increase the chance of mutation through repeated DNA replication, leading to cancer.  Jeremy: Immune evasion or suppression leads to decreased tumor surveillance. What this means essentially is that our immune system is constantly removing abnormal cells before they become cancerous. This is completed by CD8 T cells and natural killer, or NK, cells. CD8 T cells recognize abnormal peptides presented on Major Histocompatibility Complex, or MHC, class I molecules and induce apoptosis in those cells. Mehr: And NK cells step in when cells decide to stop expressing MHC I, which abnormal cells like to hide to avoid being caught. So just to reiterate, there are two layers to dissect here: if a cell looks suspicious with an abnormal MHC, CD8 T-cells kill them. If the abnormal cell decides to hide its MHC, then the NK cell will kill it instead. Jeremy: So, for the final big picture, we can think of oncogenic viruses as either disabling tumor suppression, causing chronic damage over time through inflammation, and weakening the immune system's ability to catch cancer in time before it develops. HPV Mehr: Let's start with one of the most common viruses afflicting our population – Human Papilloma Virus otherwise known as HPV.  Jeremy: Right, this notorious virus is probably the most clinically impactful oncogenic virus. The key players HPV utilizes are proteins E6 and E7. Mehr: Right! E6 binds to and inhibits p53, which normally acts to induce cell cycle arrest, and E7 inhibits Rb, which normally acts as a tumor suppressor gene that inhibits the G1 to S phase transition in a normal cell cycle. Jeremy: So essentially, we are losing both apoptosis and losing cell cycle control at the same time. What is interesting about HPV is that persistent infection, not just exposure to the virus, is what drives cancer risk.  Mehr: Exactly, most HPV infections clear on their own, but the ones that persist are the problem. Clinically, many end up being asymptomatic. However, for high-risk infections, we can see genital warts that can itch, feel tender, or cause abnormal vaginal bleeding and discharge. Patients are sometimes not able to have a vaginal delivery because of the warts that are present along their genital tract. We can also see warts on the hands and fingers or plantar surface of our feet. Jeremy: Another interesting point is that we are also seeing a shift where there are more cases of oropharyngeal cancers in younger, non-smoking patients. This is why if we see an abnormal neck lymph node or persistent sore throat after swallowing in a young patient, HPV should definitely be on the differential.  Mehr: Screening is very important as well! We typically discover high-risk HPV infections through routine Pap smears and other HPV specific tests through DNA PCR and RNA tests. We also encourage vaccination for effective prevention of both genital warts and high-risk HPV-related cancers. There was also a study in Scotland where there were zero cases of HPV in adults who received the vaccine between 12-13 years of age! Which is crazy!  EBV HBV & HCV Mehr: Now let's shift to viruses that affect the liver, Hepatitis B virus and Hepatitis C virus. Jeremy: Both are strongly associated with hepatocellular carcinoma, but they actually get there in slightlydifferent ways. Mehr: Right. Hepatitis B is a DNA virus that can integrate directly into the host genome, which can disrupttumor suppressor genes and promote oncogenesis. Jeremy: Whereas Hepatitis C is an RNA virus, so it doesn't integrate into the host genome. Instead, it causes chronic inflammation Over time, that leads to repeated cycles of hepatocyte injury and regeneration, along withoxidative stress from reactive oxygen species, which increases the risk of DNA mutations. Mehr: One really important clinical pearl is that Hep B can actually cause hepatocellular carcinoma evenwithout cirrhosis. Whereas with Hep C, the pathway is usually chronic inflammation → fibrosis → cirrhosis → dysplasia→ cancer.  Jeremy: So, screening becomes really important for both of these viruses. For high-risk patients—like those with chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis—we typically dosurveillance with liver ultrasound every 6 months, sometimes with alpha-fetoprotein levels to see if it is elevated. Mehr: From a prevention standpoint, the Hep B vaccine is a huge win. It significantly reduces the risk ofhepatocellular carcinoma. For Hep C, we don't have a vaccine, but direct-acting antivirals can actually cure the infection andreduce long-term cancer risk, which is why we screen between ages 18-79  nowadays. Global Hep B and C account for 65% of all HCC cases! So, it makes sense that primary care itself is increasing the treatment of Hep C cases as well since it is easier to prescribe and that you want to be treated ASAP.  Jeremy: Yea, the ability to treat Hep C is so beneficial to population health. Now let's say you have a patient who develops hepatocellular carcinoma, options can include surgicalresection, liver transplantation, local therapies, or systemic treatments depending on stage.  Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast. We want to hear from you, send us an email at RioBravoqWeek@clinicasierravista.org, or visit our website riobravofmrp.org/qweek.

One of the most common arguments you hear from company executives racing to develop super-intelligent AI is that it will cure cancer. It's an incredibly powerful and seductive promise.  If superintelligent AI really can cure cancer, then anyone who stands in the way of it, anyone who wants to slow it down — even because of its serious risks — is essentially letting people die. In fact, the biggest risk would be going too slowly. But what if a superintelligent AI isn't actually capable of solving cancer in the way it's been described? What if we're being sold a false promise to justify a dangerous race? That's exactly what our guest this week argues is happening. Dr. Emilia Javorsky is a physician, public health researcher, and director of the Futures Program at the Future of Life Institute. She's worked across scientific research, clinical trials, tech startups, and AI policy.   Emilia recently wrote a paper titled “How AI Can and Can't Cure Cancer,” in which she argues that the promise of superintelligence curing cancer falls apart under scrutiny.  Emilia lost a parent to cancer, so her criticism of this promise comes from a place of real concern, not cynicism. It also comes from her belief that AI can be really revolutionary for medicine, if we build it the right way. Your Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology.

A new, rapid Hepatitis C test developed by Northwestern University scientists could change the future of Hepatitis C care by delivering faster diagnosis and treatments for a disease that is estimated to impact 50 million people around the world. The research behind this new test, which was built on the DASH (Diagnostic Analyzer for Specific Hybridization) Rapid PCR system developed at Northwestern University was published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases. In this episode, Claudia Hawkins, MD, MPH, explains this study and the impact this test could have on the global effort to eliminate Hepatitis C. 

Interview with Jocelyn Young, DO

Hepatitis C was once considered a chronic, life-limiting condition with difficult treatments and significant stigma. Today, it is one of the great success stories of modern medicine: curable in the vast majority of patients with short courses of well-tolerated oral therapy. Yet, thousands of people in the UK remain undiagnosed. In this first episode of a series on hepatology and hepatitis, Dr James Waldron is joined by Dr Rik Fijten (GP Partner, Hepatitis C GP Champion for Bexley and GP Clinical Fellow in Gastroenterology) to explore why hepatitis C matters to primary care now more than ever. Together, they discuss who should be tested, how to interpret results, what happens after diagnosis and the central role GPs play in the NHS Hepatitis C Elimination Programme. This practical, confidence-building conversation focuses on normalising testing, reducing stigma and being curious, helping primary-care clinicians identify patients who could benefit from life-changing treatment.Access episode show notes containing key references and take-home points at:https://gpnotebook.com/en-GB/podcasts/infectious-disease/ep-200-hepatitis-c.Did you know?

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was last night forced to evacuate his official residence in the capital Canberra, The Lodge, for several hours, following a security threat.The Australian Federal Police found nothing suspicious, while the Prime Minister was taken to another location for several hours.It comes amid increased threats to political leaders, including the PM, in recent months.More than two-and-a-half thousand properties are still without power after severe thunderstorms dumped heavy rain across Victoria yesterday.It caused flash flooding in areas around Melbourne and knocked out electricity to thousands of homes.The SES has also been responding to hundreds of calls for help.Meanwhile more broadly a rare outback drenching continues across central Australia and large parts of the country are being warned about potential flooding.The family of a young woman killed after the car she was in was hit by a Perth obstetrician, who was drunk and speeding, says her death has left a hole in their hearts.Rhys Bellinge, who's 46, has been sentenced to more than ten years for manslaughter and dangerous driving after he crashed his Jaguar into a rideshare vehicle.The driver was seriously injured and his passenger, 24-year-old Elizabeth Pearce, died.Ukraine's President Volodomyrr Zelenskyy has marked four years since Russia began its full-scale invasion of his country, by paying tribute to those who've died, and the survivors for their resilience.He praised the stoicism of the Ukrainian people, and expressed a wish for his US counterpart Donald Trump to visit the country.Meanwhile Russian president Vladimir Putin's warned Ukraine and its western allies they will regret it if they push Moscow too far.Queensland health authorities are warning hundreds of men at a prison may have been exposed to HIV and Hepatitis C.A memo seen by the ABC says one inmate who didn't know he had the diseases reported sharing needles with other prisoners.The possible exposure happened at an adult male prison between January and June last year. 

Pati Chapoy y Karina Velasco, hija de Raúl Velasco, protagonizan un insólito reencuentro para sostener una charla más que reveladora.Pati la conoce prácticamente desde que su madre Dorle Velasco la llevaba en el vientre y ella fue a vivir a casa de Raúl para estar al pendiente del parto debido a los constantes viajes del periodista y conductor.Así que de la mano de Pati, Karina aborda desde sus inicios como comunicadora, hasta su fallido matrimonio y por supuesto la irremediable muerte de su famoso padre, luego de haber logrado alargar su vida gracias a un trasplante de hígado a que lo obligó la Hepatitis C que contrajo en una trasfusión de sangre.¿Cómo resolvió semejante duelo? Al responder a la pregunta de Pati, Karina relata la odisea que emprendió desde entonces para reencontrar su camino, convirtiéndose en chef, meditadora, estudiosa de la sexualidad humana e incluso en "poliamorosa" y escritora.Una conversación que fluye con la confianza de quienes se saben no sólo cercanas, sino familia y que es digna de verse porque nada es lo que parece.

Feb. 9, 2026- We highlight what the state is doing, and could be doing, to realize its goal of eliminating hepatitis C transition by 2030.

The Chancellor announced dozens of changes in the Budget that will affect the money in your pocket from wages and energy bills to savings. Many of them won't happen for some time - years in some cases - so we look at the more imminent tax changes. That will include the freezing of tax thresholds that will see higher taxes for many and changes to the Cash ISA limits.A "bewildering system" of benefits - that's how the author of a new report has described the plight of tens of thousands of unpaid carers who were thrown into debt because of the overpayment of Carer's Allowance. This week an independent review was published that's been a year in the making. It started because carers had been working but had unwittingly slipped over the amount they're able to earn before losing their Carer's Allowance - a payment they're entitled to if they care for someone for over 35 hours a week, leaving them in debt to the government. Paul Lewis interviews the author of the report Liz Sayce, who has told Money Box the government must implement her recommendations "at pace".And, the families of thousands of people who were infected with HIV and Hepatitis C by the NHS when it used contaminated blood in the 1970s and 80s will not have to pay tax on the compensation many of them are still waiting for. That commitment came from Rachel Reeves in the Budget, after Money Box reported on a campaign to ensure those relatives weren't subject to inheritance tax bills of tens of even hundreds of thousands of pounds.Presenter: Paul Lewis Reporters: Dan Whitworth and Jo Krasner Researcher: Eimear Devlin Editor: Jess Quayle Senior News Editor: Sara Wadeson(First broadcast 12pm Saturday 29th November 2025)

Major health organizations, including the CDC and ACOG, recommend universal Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) screening for all pregnant women during each pregnancy and at time of delivery. Ideally, pregnant women should be screened for hepatitis C virus infection at the first prenatal visit of each pregnancy. If the antibody screen result is positive, hepatitis C virus RNA polymerase chain reaction testing is done to confirm the diagnosis. The risk of perinatal transmission of HCV is up to 9%, with at least one-third of transmissions occurring antenatally. While antiviral therapy is recommended for Hepatitis B in pregnancy with a viral load greater than 200,000 international units/mL to decrease the risk of vertical transmission, the same is not the case for Hep C. According to the ACOG CPG #6 from September 2023, there are no standard treatment protocols for Hep C in pregnancy but a new publication from the PINK journal (7 Dec 2025) is calling for a change. That new publication is, “Hepatitis C Treatment During Pregnancy: Time for a Practice Change”. Listen in for details. 1. ACOG CPG #6; Sept 20262. Bhattacharya D, Aronsohn A, Price J, Lo Re V.

On September 9th, CEI hosted its first in-person conference dedicated to hepatitis C and drug user health. A group of New York State-based clinicians met in Catskill for a full day agenda focused on (1) integrating wellness into clinical practice as a way to improve patient care and outcomes, and (2) innovative decision- making frameworks to help clinicians navigate complex scenarios in the absence of strong formal evidence, like clinical guidelines and peer reviewed studies. This episode of “Conversations with CEI” features conference planner and facilitator Taylor Edelmann – an educator and consultant working at the intersection of LGBTQIA+ health, drug user health and harm reduction – sharing his experience and insights about the day. Taylor currently oversees the Lighthouse Learning Collective at the National Harm Reduction Coalition, a program focused on supporting LGBTQIA+ harm reductionists and people who use drugs and engage in sex work. As one of the first openly transgender NCAA athletes, Taylor brings a deeply personal lens to his work advocating for gender-affirming care. He regularly provides clinical education and technical assistance to providers across the country, including Yale University and one of Connecticut's largest federally qualified health centers, and recently presented at the 2025 Harm Reduction International Conference in Bogotá, Colombia. Taylor is also the co- creator of ChemSex Awareness Week, and the lead author of Gender Affirming Harm Reduction: A Toolkit for Syringe Service Programs, the first resource of its kind developed specifically for social service providers in harm reduction settings.  Related Content:  2025 Annual NYS Hepatitis C and Drug User Health conference website: https://ceitraining.org/conference/conferences/3 Lighthouse Learning Collective at the National Harm Reduction Coalition: https://harmreduction.org/our-work/action/lighthouse-learning-collective/ Gender Affirming Harm Reduction: A Toolkit for Syringe Service Programs: https://lighthousetoolkit.my.canva.site/ Narrative Medicine: https://www.aamc.org/news/narrative-medicine-every-patient-has-story Drug, Set, and Setting: The Basis for Controlled Intoxicant Use: https://southwestrecoveryalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Drug-Set-and-Setting-Zinberg-N-1.pdf CEI Clinical Consultation Line 1-866-637-2342 A toll-free service for NYS clinicians offering real-time clinical consultations with specialists on HIV, sexual health, hepatitis C, and drug user health. ceitraining.org

In this episode of the Move to Value Podcast, we continue our conversation with Julie Quisenberry of Coastal Horizons about what care management looks like on the front lines. Julie shares how her team supports patients facing housing insecurity, food insecurity, substance use, and behavioral health challenges, while also navigating language barriers and limited resources.From expanding Hepatitis C treatment programs to building bilingual services and training staff in cultural competency and trauma-informed care, Julie offers a candid look at the realities of delivering whole-person care. She emphasizes the importance of celebrating small wins, collaborating with community partners, and adapting to constant change in Medicaid and tailored care plans.This episode shines a light on both the challenges and the resilience of care managers working to improve outcomes and support their communities—one patient at a time.

In the heart of Old Town Winchester, the RISE (Resources. Inclusion. Support. Empowerment.) Community Center stands as a testament to the power of community, compassion, and resilience. Home to AIDS Response Effort (ARE), the organization has evolved over the past 35 years from a small group of volunteers supporting those affected by HIV/AIDS into a vibrant hub for HIV services, LGBTQ+ support, and community empowerment. In this conversation on The Valley Today with host Janet Michael, executive director Katie Vance shared the journey of the center's transformation, the challenges faced, and the profound impact it continues to have on the lives of local residents. The RISE Community Center's mission is multifaceted: it provides free and confidential HIV, STI, and Hepatitis C testing, case management, and a range of harm reduction services. Katie emphasized the importance of accessible testing, noting a recent uptick in positive cases since the pandemic and the center's ability to connect individuals to life-saving medications and support. “People can live long, healthy lives with the right resources,” she explained, dispelling persistent myths and highlighting the advances in HIV treatment. But the RISE Community Center is more than a healthcare provider—it's a safe haven and a gathering place. The center hosts a variety of support and affinity groups, from LGBTQ+ youth and seniors to hobby-based meetups like Stitch and Bitch. Its library, housed in a former bank vault, offers hundreds of books and resources for parents and individuals seeking understanding and affirmation. The center's gender-affirming closet, community garden, and volunteer-run programs further illustrate its commitment to holistic care. Katie and Janet discussed the ongoing need for volunteers and community advocacy, especially in the face of dwindling funding and persistent stigma. The center relies on donations and the dedication of its volunteers to keep its doors open and its programs running. Katie called on the community to not only support financially but also to challenge harmful language and myths, and to show up for LGBTQ+ neighbors. The conversation closed with a sobering reflection: without ARE and the RISE Community Center, many in Winchester would lose access to critical health services, support networks, and a sense of belonging. As Katie put it, “It's a human rights issue, not a political one.” The RISE Comunity Center's story is a powerful reminder that when a community comes together to care for its most vulnerable, everyone benefits—and hope truly rises.

Emblematic of capitalist corporations, investment bank Goldman Sachs asks a revealing question that shows the evils of capitalism: ‘Is curing patients a sustainable business model?' Nicole Roussell and Professor Richard Wolff discuss the unhealthy effects of the profit drive and huge profits in the pharmaceutical industry, using Hepatitis C treatments as an example, and how the math would work with industry profit no longer built in.

In this episode, the host republished an interview with guest Robbie Holz to highlight an important discussion about the secrets of Aboriginal healing. Robbie delves into her late husband Gary's transformative journey into the Australian Outback, where he sought healing from multiple sclerosis through Aboriginal spiritual practices. She shares how the Aboriginal philosophy intertwines the body, mind, and spirit for holistic healing. Robbie also recounts her own healing experiences and the profound lessons learned from the Aboriginal people she met. Together, they explore emotional and spiritual alignment, highlighting the significance of letting go of negative emotions and embracing higher frequencies of love. The episode also touches on the role of guardian angels, the power of willingness, and the importance of self-love in one's healing journey. About Robbie: Robbie Holz is an internationally respected healer and medium, frequent media guest and an author of the award-winning books read in 43 countries: "Secrets of Aboriginal Healing" and "Aboriginal Secrets of Awakening." Robbie's life was drastically altered in 1985. After a difficult 36-hour delivery, while giving birth to her child, Robbie was given a blood transfusion to "perk her up faster".  Unfortunately the transfusion was tainted with Hepatitis C, a disease often referred to as the silent killer. Like a Trojan horse, the virus hid in her body--until it confidently and openly declared war seven years later. Robbie was in for the fight, and spiritual awakening, of her life. Due to her reaction to the experimental Hepatitis treatment, Robbie developed fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, temporary brain damage, and became bedridden for 7 months. Since Western medicine was no longer able to help her, Robbie set out to find alternative ways to survive and recover. She ultimately healed herself of Hepatitis C, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and treatment-induced temporary brain damage, described in her award-winning memoir Aboriginal Secrets of Awakening. Her latest book is "Angels in Waiting: How to Reach Out to Your Guardian Angels and Spirit Guides." The companion guidebook is "Vibrant Living: Braving the Pandemic with Help from Your Guardian Angel."

Patients and practitioners alike may begin their FSM journey with doubt. Embracing this skepticism is crucial, as it opens opportunities for education and evidence-based discussions. Encourage open dialogue with patients about their symptoms and FSM's capabilities, and involve them actively in their treatment plans. Understanding the Nervous System and Its Impact Recognition of the nervous system's role in chronic conditions is vital. FSM practitioners must consider interactions between the nervous system, stress, trauma, and chronic pain. FSM can effectively calibrate the nervous system, reducing hypersensitivity by modulating the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, which can be particularly beneficial for patients experiencing chronic pain or stress-related conditions. Case Studies and Application: A Holistic Approach When dealing with athletic injuries or chronic conditions like arthritis or osteoporosis, FSM practitioners should consider both the mechanical and biochemical contributors to the affliction. Practitioners are encouraged to take a holistic approach, assessing both the physical and emotional impact on the patient. In doing so, they can tailor FSM protocols to the specific needs of each individual, addressing both immediate symptoms and underlying causes. For instance, in cases such as osteoarthritis, while FSM doesn't regenerate lost tissue, it provides a management strategy to alleviate pain and improve quality of life. Similarly, FSM can effectively manage rheumatoid arthritis by focusing on inflammation, immune response, and associated vagus nerve activity. FSM and the Thalamus: Exploring New Frontiers The thalamus, a crucial part of the central nervous system, plays a key role in pain perception. FSM's ability to influence thalamic activity highlights its potential in treating conditions like phantom limb pain and thalamic strokes. Practitioners should consider using FSM to explore unconventional brain areas, facilitating unexpected therapeutic outcomes. Complex Case Management: Customized Protocols Complex cases involving conditions like hepatitis C or idiopathic chronic pain require personalized FSM protocols. Practitioners are encouraged to develop custom programs based on individual patient histories, utilizing frequencies for virus management, liver function, and more. The results, while varying, can offer significant relief and management of symptoms. Educating Patients: Building Trust and Engagement Educating patients about FSM therapy's scope and limits is essential for setting realistic expectations. Practitioners should focus on the collaborative nature of FSM treatments, encouraging patient involvement and feedback. This collaborative approach builds trust and fosters a productive therapeutic environment. Conclusion: A Future of Innovation and Collaboration Integrating FSM into medical practice requires an open mind, critical thinking, and a willingness to explore beyond conventional boundaries. As FSM continues to evolve, medical practitioners should maintain a commitment to innovation and patient-centered care, ensuring that the integration of FSM aligns with both clinical best practices and the specific needs of their patients. Through ongoing education and collaboration, FSM can become a vital tool in advancing patient care and outcomes.

Could primary care at home unlock better health and lower costs for American families? Rebekah Gee, a physician and policymaker turned entrepreneur, joins us to talk about the big bet her company Nest Health is making on home-based primary care. It's a model that makes sense for families and delivers results. In the first year of operations Nest doubled primary care visits, reduced ER visits, and increased childhood immunizations.We discuss:The sound economics behind the Medicaid expansion in LouisianaWhat she learned from her mentor, astronaut John GlennHow to close the primary care gap for children and parents Whether ultra processed foods are the next tobaccoRebekah shared about an exchange with Elon Musk on the short sightedness of Medicaid cuts:“So Nest came out with our savings numbers. We put out some really good information about the health of children and the opportunities. And Elon Musk retweeted it. So as a result of that, we actually got a lot of press. But I wrote back to him and said, ‘I'm glad you like this concept. And just remember, don't cut health care for children because we'll be paying far more for that than you will ever save.' ”Relevant LinksRead more about Nest HealthWatch: Dr. Rebekah Gee on what entrepreneurs need to know about MedicaidLearn about Alaska's Nuka system of careEvidence from the Nurse Family Partnership about the impact of home-based careAbout Our GuestDr. Rebekah Gee is the founder and CEO of Nest Health, a technology-enabled whole-family primary care provider providing care at home and virtually to Americans who struggle to receive comprehensive care.

Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver. The liver is a vital organ that processes nutrients, filters the blood, and fights infections. When the liver is inflamed or damaged, its function can be affected. Heavy alcohol use, toxins, some medications, and certain medical conditions can cause hepatitis. However, hepatitis is often caused by a virus. In the United States, the most common types of viral hepatitis are hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. ​Hepatitis D, also known as “delta hepatitis,” is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis D virus (HDV). Hepatitis D only occurs in people who are also infected with the hepatitis B virus. Hepatitis D is spread when blood or other body fluids from a person infected with the virus enters the body of someone who is not infected. Hepatitis D can be an acute, short-term infection or become a long-term, chronic infection. Hepatitis D can cause severe symptoms and serious illness that can lead to life-long liver damage and even death. People can become infected with both hepatitis B and hepatitis D viruses at the same time (known as “coinfection”) or get hepatitis D after first being infected with the hepatitis B virus (known as “superinfection”). There is no vaccine to prevent hepatitis D. However, prevention of hepatitis B with hepatitis B vaccine also protects against future hepatitis D infection. ​Hepatitis E is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis E virus (HEV). HEV is found in the stool of an infected person. It is spread when someone unknowingly ingests the virus – even in microscopic amounts. In developing countries, people most often get hepatitis E from drinking water contaminated by feces from people who are infected with the virus. In the United States and other developed countries where hepatitis E is not common, people have gotten sick with hepatitis E after eating raw or undercooked pork, venison, wild boar meat, or shellfish. In the past, most cases in developed countries involved people who have recently traveled to countries where hepatitis E is common. Symptoms of hepatitis E can include fatigue, poor appetite, stomach pain, nausea, and jaundice. However, many people with hepatitis E, especially young children, have no symptoms. Except for the rare occurrence of chronic hepatitis E in people with compromised immune systems, most people recover fully from the disease without any complications. No vaccine for hepatitis E is currently available in the United States. (credits CDC)

In recent years scientists have researched the phenomenon of Near Death Experiences (NDEs), and now have enough evidence to determine their validity. Dr Orson Wedgwood Ph.D., a medical scientist, walks us through this evidence, including research published up to end of 2023. In addition he discusses the common features reported by those who have experienced NDEs and what the implications are for the long term destiny of each human consciousness, or soul. As well as the positive aspects of NDEs so often described in other books and TV shows, Dr. Wedgwood also discusses the evidence suggesting that only 10-20% of souls survive death, and of those that do, not all are destined to reach heavenly realms. Is “Hell” real too? The good news is that NDE survivors provide us with guidance from their encounters with “God” or other “celestial beings”, on how we might safeguard the health of our souls to enable us to survive earthly death and reach the heavenly realm. It's all about Love. Put simply, reading this book, may prove vital to the eternal destiny of your soul.BioBorn in 1968 and now living in Sussex, England, I have spent my career in science. My undergraduate studies were in chemistry, and my PhD studies were in organic medicinal chemistry, during which I worked in a team that created a molecule that opened the door to a cure for Hepatitis C, as well as treatments for certain cancers, and HIV. In 1999, I began working in the pharmaceutical industry, for the first ten years helping to bring new drugs to market, and for the past ten years working alongside academic clinical investigators in designing, conducting, helping publish and interpreting clinical studies looking into the effects of exciting new compounds in diseases such as HIV, hematological malignancies, obesity, and, most recently, neurological disorders such as narcolepsy and Alzheimer's.As a medical scientist, I have become skilled in understanding, interpreting, and disseminating key findings from complex clinical studies, similar in some ways to the AWARE studies. It is a part of my day job to be able to critique scientific data and understand how design can affect outcomes, among other things. I also write a blog—awareofaware.com—exploring research into NDEs, which follows closely any developments in the AWARE studies. My blog focuses on the clinical data and the science. I also discuss possible “spiritual” implications that come out of the scientific research. In addition, I am the author of DNA: The Elephant in the Lab, a non-fiction book about the origin of life, and I also wrote the novel Deadly Medicine. Both are available in online bookstores.https://orsonw.com/https://www.amzn.com/dp/B08S43B83D/https://awareofaware.co/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlife
