What does it actually look like to go through a mold remediation—start to finish? In this episode of Never Been Sicker, Michael sits down with Kathleen LeGrys, a HomeCleanse client, to share her firsthand experience navigating chronic illness, discovering hidden mold in her home, and going through the full inspection and remediation process with HomeCleanse.After struggling for years with Lyme, Bartonella, and Myasthenia Gravis, Kathleen was still not improving as expected. Eventually, high mycotoxin levels led her functional medicine doctor to suspect mold exposure—and that kicked off a journey most people never expect to take.Kathleen walks us through:- The early overwhelm of discovering mold and deciding where to start- Why she chose to remediate her home in phases (and how she budgeted for it)- What she did before remediation to reduce exposure (including air purifiers and open windows)- How her lab markers improved just from lowering dust and airborne toxins- What she replaced in her home—and how she tested items like bedding and furniture to decide what to toss- The emotional, physical, and financial toll of the process—and why she has zero regretsIf you've ever felt overwhelmed by mold, toxins, or chronic symptoms—this is a must-listen success story.00:00 Introduction to Mold and Health Challenges02:50 Kathleen's Journey with Mold and Health06:00 Testing for Mold: Dust Tests vs. Mold Dogs09:11 Understanding Mycotoxins and Health Correlation11:45 The Cost of Mold Inspection and Remediation14:50 Mental Challenges in Addressing Mold Issues17:54 The Remediation Process: Logistics and Challenges21:08 Post-Remediation: Rebuilding and Testing23:58 Living with Mold: Interim Solutions27:06 The Importance of Replacing Contaminated Items30:00 Addressing Misconceptions About Mold33:56 Historical Perspectives on Mold Remediation35:51 Insurance Challenges and Mold Coverage37:32 Societal Perceptions of Mold and Health39:58 Understanding Mold Exposure and Symptoms46:12 The Prevalence of Mold in Homes49:57 Personal Experiences with Mold Remediation54:46 Advice for Those Facing Mold Issues

In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver engages with Dr. David Allen Black to discuss the synoptic gospels, the synoptic problem, and the historical origins of the gospels. They explore the significance of external evidence, the role of the Church Fathers, and the implications of Markan priority. Dr. Black presents his fourfold gospel hypothesis, emphasizing the need for historical context in understanding the development of the gospels. The conversation also addresses common concerns regarding the reliability of the gospels and the importance of examining evidence critically.This video explores the **two source hypothesis** related to the origins of the Gospels in the Bible. The speaker explains how understanding this theory can impact the way people interpret biblical texts, and how it is related to the **synoptic problem**.-The term 'synoptic' means to view the gospels together.-The synoptic problem may not be a problem at all. -External evidence is often overlooked in gospel studies.-Markan priority is a dominant theory, but has its challenges. -The early church unanimously believed Matthew was the first gospel.-Historical context is crucial for understanding the gospels.-The Church Fathers provide valuable insights into gospel authorship.-The Q hypothesis is speculative and lacks concrete evidence.-The Christian faith is rooted in historical evidence.-Scholars should be approached with caution; personal investigation is essential.00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Guest01:31 Understanding the Synoptic Gospels04:59 Exploring the Synoptic Problem05:19 Three Lines of Evidence for Gospel Order 08:32 Questioning Markan Priority10:39 Historical Context of Gospel Development17:50 The Role of Early Church Fathers24:11 The Fourfold Gospel Hypothesis28:08 Unity in the Early Church 29:09 Historical Context of the Gospels30:32 Occasional Nature of New Testament Letters31:58 The Role of the Gospels in Addressing Needs33:13 Critique of Markan Priority35:30 Historical Perspectives on Gospel Origins 36:57 The Importance of Church History39:24 The Enlightenment's Impact on Gospel Scholarship41:09 The Interconnectedness of Biblical Studies43:26 The Role of Language in Understanding the Gospels45:56 Different Styles and Purposes of Gospel Writers52:13 Addressing Lay Concerns about Gospel Reliability

Is God emotionless and unchanging? Many systematic theologians have long argued that God is completely impassible—meaning He cannot feel, suffer, or be influenced by creation. But is this truly what the Bible teaches? In this episode, Dr. R.T. Mullins joins The Biblical Mind Podcast to challenge traditional ideas about God's nature, emotions, and engagement with the world. He explains how philosophy has often shaped theology more than scripture, why systematic theologians ignore biblical descriptions of God's emotions, and what it actually means to call God all-powerful and all-knowing. Dru and R.T. explore the hidden assumptions behind classical theism, why ancient theologians rejected the idea that God could suffer, and whether modern theology needs a reset. Mullins also discusses how our view of God shapes how we pray, worship, and think about suffering. If you've ever wondered why theology sometimes feels disconnected from the Bible, or why certain doctrines sound more like philosophy than scripture, this episode will challenge you to rethink how we describe God.

Today, we primarily occupy ourselves with alternative explanations to the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation. Many listeners will be familiar with Pierre Marie Robitaille's theory that the CMB is produced due to the hydrogen bond lattice of the oceans. Here, Assis lays out a different theory - championed by at least four Nobel Laureates - that the CMB isn't the afterglow of the Big Bang - it's simply the temperature at which the cold, dark objects of space are equilibrated against the background light of the stars.

Bergson was an early proponent of the absolute importance of context when trying to understand nature. This is nowhere more apparent than in the world of music, where the rhythm, interval, and mode of the songs being played creates wildly different sensations even when the same pure tones are in play. Bagby has extensive experience with novel musical instruments, strange tunings, and alternative scales, which he deploys as evidence of Bergson's deep insights in the nature of perception and reality.

The process of brining involves a salt and water solution. Osmosis is key to the brining process, affecting protein structure. Different types of salt can yield different brining results. Brining times vary based on the type of meat or fish. Curing salts help inhibit bacterial growth during the brining process. Historical brining practices were essential for food preservation. Corned beef became popular in Ireland due to low salt taxes. Pastrami and Montreal smoked meat evolved from corned beef recipes. Brining can also be applied to foraged ingredients and fermentation. You can flavor brines with various aromatics like ginger and garlic. Different meats require different brining percentages for optimal results. Ham and other meats can also be cured and used creatively.

When is peace not peace? When does pluralism only seem like pluralism from the perspective of the people in power? Christianity famously took form during the Pax Romana—an era of celebrated stability in the Roman empire—even as its message about the dawn of the messianic age and the coming of the kingdom of God resonated among those who saw the same age, instead, as a time of political oppression, cosmic upheaval, and eschatological unraveling. Likewise, to the degree that the Roman empire can be characterized by terms like ethnic “diversity” and religious “tolerance,” it was in a manner marked by massive erasures—both of knowledge and ways of knowing, pertaining to whole peoples. Arguably, a parallel dynamic marks Christian approaches to Jews and so-called “heretics” and “pagans,” with consequences for memory, forgetting, and archival amnesias especially with the empire's Christianization—and with rippling effects that continue to shape our present. In this session of "Religion and Just Peace | A Series of Public Online Conversations," Annette Yoshiko Reed, Krister Stendahl Professor of Divinity and Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity, reflected upon the perennial questions above using examples from these ancient religions and empires. This is the second event of a five-part series of online public conversations with members of the HDS faculty to explore what an expansive understanding of religion can provide to the work of just peacebuilding. This event took place on February 3, 2025. Full transcript: https://www.hds.harvard.edu/news/2025/02/03/video-empire-and-epistemicide-historical-perspectives-rhetoric-peace-and-its-erasures

In this episode of Bible Bashed, hosts Harrison and Pastor Tim discuss the differences between pastoral counseling and therapy, emphasizing the biblical perspective on mental health. They argue that pastors are better equipped to handle issues like anxiety and depression, which they view as normal life problems rather than medical disorders. The conversation explores the materialistic worldview surrounding mental health, the importance of personal responsibility, and the role of scripture in providing hope and guidance. The hosts also address the backlash they received for their views and the implications of a low view of pastoral responsibilities. Takeaways Salvation is found in Christ alone. Humanity is in sin and under God's wrath. Pastors are better equipped than therapists for counseling. Anxiety and depression are often treated as medical issues. Materialism has influenced the understanding of mental health. Personal responsibility is crucial in addressing mental health issues. The Bible provides guidance for life's problems. Victimization narratives can undermine accountability. Pastors should fulfill their role in shepherding their congregations. Hope and change are possible through faith in God.

Nathan Jones, the CEO of Xlear, global leader in creating natural, convenient, xylitol-based sinus and oral care products that support a healthy lifestyle.   Nathan was born in Kansas City and he spent his formative years in Idaho, in a small town where his father was the town doctor. Later, in a pursuit to provide needed support for the entire family of 14 kids, Nathan's parents made the decision to move to Michigan, and then Mexico City. When he was 16 years old, the family made another move, this time to Utah which is also where Nathan graduated from high school.   He attended college for a year, spent a year in active duty, and also went on a two-year mission with his church. Nathan moved back home in 1994 and started attending Utah Valley University. Later, he made a transition to Seattle where he attended school to become a commercial diver – he used skills from this education when he worked as a diver in oilfields in Louisiana between 1995 and 2000. Nathan then returned to Utah and founded Xlear in order to improve lives by spreading the message of Proactive Health.   Website: https://xlear.com/   Work With Me: Mineral Balancing HTMA Consultation: https://www.integrativethoughts.com/category/all-products  My Instagram: @integrativematt My Website: Integrativethoughts.com   Advertisements:   Viva Rays: Use Code ITP for a Discount https://vivarays.com/   Zeolite Labs Zeocharge: Use Code ITP for 10% off https://www.zeolitelabs.com/product-page/zeocharge?ref=ITP Magnesium Breakthrough: Use Code integrativethoughts10 for 10% OFF https://bioptimizers.com/shop/products/magnesium-breakthrough Just Thrive: Use Code ITP15 for 15% off https://justthrivehealth.com/discount/ITP15 Therasage: Use Code Coffman10 for 10% off https://www.therasage.com/discount/COFFMAN10?rfsn=6763480.4aed7f&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=6763480.4aed7f   Chapters: 00:00 Introduction and Background 04:53 Understanding Xylitol and Its Origins 09:56 Fluoride vs. Xylitol: A Dental Debate 14:59 The Role of Xylitol in Oral Health 19:57 Nasal Hygiene and Mold Treatment 24:52 The Connection Between Oral Health and Systemic Illness 29:56 Xylitol's Impact on Maternal Health 34:59 Conclusion and Future Directions 37:06 Alternative Treatments and Protocols 39:28 The Role of Nasal Hygiene 43:11 Challenges with Regulatory Agencies 46:30 Historical Perspectives on Hygiene 54:58 Practical Applications of Nasal Hygiene Products   Takeaways: Xylitol is a natural sugar that helps prevent tooth decay. Fluoride's effectiveness in preventing tooth decay has significantly decreased over the years. Xylitol can reduce the incidence of respiratory infections. Maintaining a healthy oral microbiome is crucial for overall health. Nasal hygiene is important for preventing mold-related illnesses. Xylitol can help reduce preterm births by improving gut health. The dental industry often overlooks the bacterial causes of tooth decay. Xylitol can remineralize teeth when the mouth is at a neutral pH. Public health initiatives should promote xylitol for children's dental health. Xylitol's effectiveness is supported by numerous studies. The CDC had knowledge on how to treat COVID-19 early on. Saline irrigation was a recommended treatment for respiratory infections. Alternative treatments like xylitol and nasal hygiene can be effective. Regulatory agencies often hinder the sharing of beneficial health data. Historical figures in medicine faced ridicule for advocating hygiene practices. Nasal hygiene is crucial for preventing respiratory infections. Public health agencies need to improve their communication strategies. The effectiveness of treatments can be overshadowed by regulatory concerns. Education on hygiene practices is essential for public health. Innovative health solutions often face resistance from established institutions.   Summary: In this conversation, Matthew Coffman and Nate discuss the health benefits of xylitol, particularly in oral hygiene and nasal care. Nate shares his background in the health space, influenced by his father's research on xylitol's effectiveness against bacteria and viruses. They delve into the debate between fluoride and xylitol, highlighting the limitations of fluoride in addressing the root causes of tooth decay. The discussion also covers the importance of nasal hygiene, especially in relation to mold exposure, and the systemic health implications of oral health. They conclude with insights on xylitol's potential benefits for maternal health and the need for better public health initiatives. In this conversation, Matthew Coffman and Nate discuss the CDC's response to COVID-19, highlighting alternative treatments and the importance of nasal hygiene.

In this episode, Stewart Alsop talks with San Naidoo, who is developing foundational infrastructure for what he calls Civilization 3.0. San shares his journey from tech entrepreneurship to his life in a rural South African village, covering topics like sacred dance, intentional communities, and composting capitalism. Their conversation explores the decentralization of economic and social systems, the influence of empire culture, and the importance of fostering relational fields as we look toward a regenerative future. To learn more about San's work and updates, you can follow him on Twitter at @regencrypto.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:40 Starting a Tech Shop in Argentina02:32 Exploring Sacred Dance and Tango09:04 Building Infrastructure for Civilization 3.010:49 Intentional Communities and Crypto Adventures18:25 Revolutionizing Money and Community Models31:41 Networking and Intentional Communities32:40 Creating a Node and Land Trust33:35 Historical Perspectives on Land and Labor35:34 AI, Productivity, and Modern Slavery38:37 CommuniTrees: Business Models and Regenerative Practices41:30 Crypto, Real World Assets, and Cultural Lag51:23 The Role of Cities in Future Communities55:58 Reflections on Argentina's Agriculture and Economy58:59 The Importance of Relational Fields01:01:16 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsKey InsightsThe Vision of Civilization 3.0: San Naidoo explores the concept of Civilization 3.0, an evolution toward a regenerative, interdependent society. This future civilization is one that could integrate the community-oriented values of tribal systems with the structural strengths of empire, re-envisioning how communities relate to land, economy, and each other. San's idea is to foster sustainable, resilient societies through intentional communities that are economically and ecologically regenerative.Intentional Communities and the Challenges of Cohesion: Reflecting on his own experience with intentional communities in Argentina and South Africa, San notes that successful communities require strong foundations in shared values and clear communication. The biggest obstacle is often navigating human dynamics and creating frameworks that support clear conflict resolution, goal alignment, and harmonious co-existence. His experiences highlight the importance of vision, shared meaning, and structured processes for sustainable community building.Composting Capitalism as a Path to Regenerative Wealth: In his work, San advocates for "composting capitalism," a playful yet powerful concept of redirecting resources from the current economic system to nurture regenerative systems. His idea focuses on investing in land and initiatives that prioritize ecological and social health, thereby creating wealth that fosters life and interdependence rather than extraction and profit for profit's sake.Tokenization of Land Through Fractionalized Real Estate: One innovative approach San proposes is using crypto and blockchain technology to fractionalize real estate, allowing individuals to invest in regenerative land projects. Through tokens representing square meters of land stewarded by intentional communities, investors could support regenerative land trusts while sharing in the long-term value of community-centered land development. This concept brings finance closer to tangible ecological projects, offering a sustainable model that rewards both investors and the planet.The Power of Relational Fields in Sustainable Culture: A central theme in San's vision is the “relational field”—the depth and quality of relationships among individuals and communities. He believes that fostering strong, meaningful connections is key to a regenerative society, where people interact as interconnected individuals rather than isolated consumers. This concept highlights the need to create environments where mutual care and support are embedded in daily interactions, contrasting with the transactional nature of mainstream culture.The Edge Walkers' Role in Cultural Transformation: San speaks about "edge walkers"—individuals and projects at the fringes of the mainstream who are experimenting with new cultural, economic, and ecological paradigms. While often overshadowed by louder, profit-driven entities within crypto and tech, edge walkers embody the regenerative culture that could eventually replace unsustainable systems. Networking these innovators could strengthen and accelerate systemic change.A Decentralized, Harmonized Future Beyond Empire: Looking at history, San contrasts the hierarchical, extractive systems of empire with the collaborative, interdependent nature of tribal cultures. As society shifts away from centralized power structures, he suggests a planetary culture that integrates the strengths of both. This future civilization would honor the planet's interconnectedness, leveraging decentralized networks to sustain a complex, self-regulating, and resilient ecosystem that could avoid collapse and facilitate lasting well-being.
