The sudden termination of US overseas funding jolted AIDS programs in countries hardest hit by the epidemic. Yet the leaders of national AIDS programs had already been preparing for the day when donor funding ended. The HIV Leadership Forum, a community of practice of Directors General of National AIDS Councils from around the world has recently published a report setting out steps on how resilient and sustainable national programs can be achieved. Ben is joined by Dr Nduku Kilonzo, Chair of the UNAIDS Global HIV Prevention Coalition, and Dr. Thembisile Xulu, CEO of the South African National AIDS Council, to explore the strategies and challenges in the post-donor era for HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment. Key topics include the importance of sustainability, integrating HIV programs into broader health systems, and rethinking donor-country partnerships. Both experts offer valuable insights into how African countries are navigating the reduction in international funding while striving to meet their health goals. 00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 01:11 Meet Dr. Nduku Kilonzo 01:38 Key Findings from the International Aid Society Scientific Conference 03:09 The HIV Leadership Forum and Sustainability Report 05:11 Challenges and Lessons in HIV Prevention 17:42 Interview with Dr. Thembisile Xulu 21:16 South Africa's Response to Funding Cuts 32:03 The Future of HIV Programs and Donor Relationships 47:49 Concluding Thoughts and Reflections 53:07 Closing Remarks and Call to Action

When George W. Bush created the PEPFAR program in 2003, it was celebrated by evangelical leaders and has saved more than 26 million lives in Africa from HIV/AIDS. So why weren't evangelicals outraged when Donald Trump killed PEPFAR, which has already resulted in over 75,000 deaths since January? Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn unpack the arguments for and against PEPFAR, and how evangelical support for “small government” only applies to some programs. Then, Katilyn talks to Sharon Hodde Miller about what the self-esteem movement gets wrong about insecurity, and how we can recover the Christian virtue of service and self-forgetfulness. Also this week, rotten butter ants invade Europe.

Send us a textSix passionate fans of television gather around the virtual table for a hilarious, nostalgic journey through decades of TV history. Host Fiddy guides this roundtable exploration of what makes certain shows endure in our collective memory while others fade away despite critical acclaim.The conversation opens with a playful debate about Monopoly versus Scrabble before diving into the shows that defined different eras. Miste reminisces about 80s classics like "A Different World," while others champion everything from "Andy Griffith" to "The Sopranos." What emerges is a fascinating look at how television reflects our values and cultural moments across generations.When the topic turns to "Beverly Hills 90210," the group unpacks how this teen drama revolutionized television by tackling previously taboo subjects like HIV/AIDS, teen pregnancy, and substance abuse. As Dave astutely observes, this trailblazing approach may have inadvertently launched television's ongoing quest for increasingly shocking content—for better or worse.Personal connections make this discussion especially rich. Rusty reveals his great-uncle was one of the original writers for "Jeopardy!" while Chris explains why "Jersey Shore" felt like a harmful caricature of Italian-Americans. These personal insights transform typical TV talk into something more meaningful about representation and cultural impact.The animated smackdown between "Family Guy" and "The Simpsons" divides the room, while universally panned shows like "Jersey Shore" unite them in creative condemnation (with descriptions ranging from "fatalian" to "diabolical"). Throughout it all runs a current of genuine appreciation for how television brings us together, shapes our perspectives, and provides the shared cultural references that connect us.Join this lively conversation about the shows we've loved, hated, and can't stop talking about—and maybe rethink your own television favorites along the Subscribe for exclusive content: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1530455/support Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREETactical BrotherhoodThe Tactical Brotherhood is a movement to support America.Dubby EnergyFROM GAMERS TO GYM JUNKIES TO ENTREPRENEURS, OUR PRODUCT IS FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BE BETTER.Sweet Hands SportsElevate your game with Sweet Hands Sports!

While the family lived in Illinois, he enrolled in a summer program at Northwestern University, where he took acting lessons and won an award. His first break came when he was 17 years old and working part-time at the New Frontier Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas selling artwork. He was hired as a driver for Robert Goulet and Carol Lawrence during their summer tour. He spent most of 1968 and 1969 as their driver. After the Goulet-Lawrence tour ended in New York City, Eure decided he would not return to high school and stayed in New York. After a few short months of auditions and odd jobs, in 1970 Eure became a cast member at the American Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, Connecticut. Hired more for his ability to make the cast and crew laugh than his acting skill, Eure worked with a dialect coach to get rid of his deep Southern accent. During his time in Stratford, he worked with Jane Alexander in The Tempest, and appeared in Mourning Becomes Electra, Merry Wives of Windsor, Twelfth Night, and many original works produced by the company. At the Bucks County Playhouse in Pennsylvania, he performed in West Side Story (portraying "Action" of the Jets) and then joined a musical comedy revue and traveled throughout the East Coast resort area. For many years, he was a fundraiser for the March of Dimes, and has also raised money through telethons and fund-raising campaigns for groups like the Variety Club and the Special Olympics. Eure has been a fundraiser for a number of HIV/AIDS causes, including hosting the LalaPOOLooza HIV/AIDS fundraiser in Palm Springs, California, for many years, the Desert AIDS Project benefit and raising funds and assisting with Project Angel Food, which feeds homebound AIDS patients.

In this episode, Rebecca Culshaw Smith discusses the serious flaws in the mainstream HIV/AIDS narrative. She examines the risks and failures of anti-HIV drugs like Truvada, questions the logic of using these drugs for prevention in HIV-negative people, and highlights the high rate of treatment failure among patients. Rebecca also challenges the shifting definition of HIV disease, the inconsistent demographics of infection, and the shaky foundation of key scientific studies that continue to guide treatment and policy.

What if healing your body started with what you put on your plate?In this episode, I speak with Neka Pasquale, founder of Urban Remedy, whose background in Traditional Chinese Medicine inspired a revolutionary way to think about food. Neka shares how she went from private practice to building a national organic food brand rooted in healing, anti-inflammatory, and low-glycemic meals.We talk about the “food as medicine” philosophy, the reality of scaling a fresh-food company to over 370 locations, and the everyday rituals that keep her grounded while growing a purpose-driven brand. If you're a founder, a health seeker, or simply love hearing how someone builds from their passion—this one's for you.
Changes at the federal level are expected to have major effects on medical research. Recently on this program, we discussed how clinicians expect possible funding cuts to affect cancer research. This hour, we focus on HIV research. The Kaiser Family Foundation reports that the fiscal year 2026 budget request for domestic HIV programs is a 35% decline compared to the previous fiscal year. What does that mean for HIV research in our region? And how could it affect patients? Guest host Racquel Stephen addresses those questions with local experts: Michael Keefer, M.D., principal investigator at the Rochester Victory Alliance; and professor in the Departments of Medicine and Infectious Diseases and in the Center for Community Health and Prevention at the University of Rochester Medical Center Harold Smith, Ph.D. founder, CEO, and president of Oyagen, Inc.; and professor emeritus of biochemistry and biophysics at the University Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry

In this episode of Whole Body Health, Dr. JP Saleeby discusses the importance of vitamin A, its sources, different forms, health benefits, potential risks, and how to incorporate it effectively into your daily routine.Forms and Sources of vitamin A - vitamin A exists in two primary forms:1. Retinol – Found in animal-based foods such as oily fish, liver, eggs, cod liver oil, butter, and cheese.2. Carotenoids – Derived from plant-based foods like carrots, squash, papaya, tomatoes, red bell peppers, sweet potatoes, and dark leafy greens. Bright orange fruits and vegetables are typically rich in carotenoids.Health Benefits: Vitamin A is critical for eye health and retinal function, for supporting the immune system, and for maintenance of skin and mucous membranes as well as for embryo development. Vitamin A helps prevent night blindness and cataracts, skin issues, a weakened immune system, premature aging, and lung disease, and can reduce effects of HIV/AIDS and measles.Potential Risks: Excessive vitamin A intake can lead to toxicity. High doses, especially when combined with alcohol, may cause liver damage. Individuals with liver disease should consult a healthcare provider before supplementing with vitamin A.Recommended Dosage: For adults, the recommended daily allowance (RDA) is 700–900 mcg of retinol equivalents (RE) per day. Vitamin A is considered safe when consumed in amounts less than 10,000 IU (or 3,000 mcg) daily. More information on the two forms of vitamin A and dosing can be found in this video.Learn more about 'Whole Body Health' here: https://flccc.net/wholebodyhealthDr. JP Saleeby | Carolina Holistic Medicine https://carolinaholisticmedicine.com/Dr. JP Saleeby's Substack | Yusuf's Substack https://jpsaleebymd.substack.com/The Independent Medical Alliance (formerly FLCCC) is a healthcare nonprofit on a mission to restore trust, integrity, and the doctor-patient relationship.

Slovakia Today, English Language Current Affairs Programme from Slovak Radio
Currently, 1,648 people in Slovakia are living with HIV. In 2024 alone, 63 new cases have been diagnosed. While proper treatment can ensure the virus poses no risk to others, including partners, societal stigma remains strong. Many people, including medical professionals, still lack sufficient knowledge about what it truly means to be HIV positive. Find out more in the interview with HIV/AIDS Slovensko director Ján Koller and deputy director Miroslav Krajčoviech. Another epiode of Slovak Sound Check is waiting for you, too.
In this episode, Jeremy and Camilla return to discuss key aspects of their nearly 40-year-old postgraduate course, Dynamis. They begin by exploring the foundational concepts of homeopathy, particularly the need to classify cases—acute, chronic, epidemic, or miasmatic—before selecting remedies. Jeremy shares insights from his decades of international practice and introduces the idea of the "similimum" as a sequence of remedies rather than a single solution. The episode highlights the structure and goals of the Dynamis course, covering philosophy, Materia Medica, case-taking, and practice management. Camilla talks about her book Beyond Organic, which connects homeopathy with organic gardening and plant care. Jeremy also previews his upcoming book on epidemics, emphasizing the importance of understanding epidemic disease as a collective experience. Episode Highlights: 03:41 - Jeremy and Camilla's World Tour 09:05 - Camilla's Book and Agri Homeopathy 13:07 - Jeremy's Organon Book Update 17:09 - The Dynamis Course Overview 28:41 - Course Structure and Flexibility 31:29 - Business Management in Homeopathy 33:01 - Avoiding Burnout in Homeopathic Practice 36:45 - Introduction to the Book on Epidemics 41:47 - The Role of Technology in Epidemic Management 48:20 - Personal Stories and Experiences 54:07 - Exploring New Homeopathic Remedies 01:01:33 Upcoming Conferences and Events About my Guests: Jeremy Sherr is an internationally renowned homeopath, educator, and author whose work has significantly shaped modern homeopathic practice. Born in South Africa and raised in Israel, he began studying homeopathy in 1980 at the College of Homoeopathy in London while also earning a degree in Acupuncture from the International College of Oriental Medicine. Although he practices homeopathy exclusively, his deep understanding of Chinese Medicine informs his approach. In 1986, he founded the Dynamis School for Advanced Homoeopathic Studies, now the longest-running postgraduate program in the field, and has since taught in over 30 countries. A prolific author and researcher, Jeremy has published numerous textbooks and journal articles, conducted provings of 32 new homeopathic remedies, and contributed significant works such as Dynamic Materia Medica: Syphilis and the Q-Rep repertory of Mental Qualities. He also developed The Dynamic Case Taker software to enhance homeopathic casetaking and analysis. His achievements have earned him a fellowship from the Society of Homoeopaths, a Ph.D. from Medicina Alternativa, and honorary academic positions in China and Argentina. Recently, he has devoted himself to “Homeopathy for Health in Africa,” a humanitarian project treating HIV/AIDS patients in Tanzania and researching epidemic remedies, further expanding the reach and impact of his life's work. Camilla Sherr is a passionate and experienced homeopath whose career spans over 30 years, rooted in a deep belief in the mind-body connection and the holistic healing power of homeopathy. After graduating from The Finnish Institute of Homeopathy and completing postgraduate studies at the Dynamis School, she went on to teach and lead remedy provings, including Scandium and Honey. For the past 15 years, she has lived in Tanzania with her husband, Jeremy Sherr, co-founding Homeopathy for Health in Africa, a non-profit dedicated to treating HIV/AIDS patients with homeopathy. Camilla also has a keen interest in Agrihomoeopathy and is the co-creator of Clil Botanicals, a line of therapeutic skincare products combining homeopathy with Tanzanian seed oils. Her dedication to healing extends beyond her clinical work, having served as President of the Finnish Society of Homoeopathy and receiving a Fellowship from the UK Society of Homeopaths, all while continuing to explore and expand the applications of homeopathy in everyday life. 2 x Complimentary 4R Video sessions: https://vimeo.com/1078474070?share=copy https://vimeo.com/1087753300/58251ed747?share=copy 4R and Socials Info: https://www.dynamis.edu/new-page https://www.dynamis.edu/ https://www.instagram.com/dynamis_school_homoeopathy https://www.patreon.com/JEREMYSHERR 4R Season 4 Sign Up link: Season 4: https://tqfs.official.academy/?aaid=gYWrL#!jeremys-4r-materia-medica-season-4/LJRQN/c/JEREMY/ 4R Seasons 1, 2, or 3 Sign-Up Links: Season 1: https://tqfs.official.academy/?aaid=gYWrL#!jeremys-4-r-materia-medica-bundle/LJR99/c/JEREMY/ Season 2: https://tqfs.official.academy/?aaid=gYWrL#!jeremys-4r-materia-medica-bundle-2/LX5ZQ/c/JEREMY/ Season 3: https://tqfs.official.academy/?aaid=gYWrL#!jeremys-4r-materia-medica-bundle-3/z0k92/c/JEREMY/ If you would like to support the Homeopathy Hangout Podcast, please consider making a donation by visiting www.EugenieKruger.com and click the DONATE button at the top of the site.

Energy with a grain of saltResearchers have developed a new sodium metal powered fuel cell with up to triple the output for its weight of a lithium-ion battery. The team from MIT, including Yet-Ming Chiang, think these fuel cells could have enormous potential for electric vehicles — including flight. They say sodium can be electrically produced from salt on a large scale to facilitate this technology. The research was published in the journal Joule.Plants hear their pollinators, and produce sweet nectar in responseA new study has found that plants can respond to the distinctive vibrations of pollinating insects by activating sugar-producing genes to produce rich nectar. In contrast they respond to the sound of nectar-stealing non-pollinators by cutting back on sugar. Francesca Barbero, from the University of Turin in Italy, presented this work at a recent joint meeting of the Acoustical Society of America and 25th International Congress on Acoustics.Penguin poop helps create the cooling clouds over Antarctica Penguin guano is rich in ammonia, and when it accumulates in penguin rookeries in Antarctica, that ammonia is released into the atmosphere, encouraging cloud production. Those clouds reflect sunlight into space, but can also trap sunlight reflected from the ice, so have complex climate interactions. This connection was discovered by University of Helsinki researcher Matthew Boyer, and was published in the journal Nature.Giant sloth family tree suggests trees are just a recent part of itSloths used to be giants the size of bears and even elephants before disappearing around 12,000 years ago. An international group of paleontologists including University of Toronto's Gerry De Iuliis have assembled a comprehensive family tree of the sloth to understand how a group that used to dominate the landscape was winnowed away to only a handful of relatively small, tree dwelling species. The research was published in the journal Science.Eradicating diseases — Can we wipe out ancient and modern plagues forever?In 1980 the World Health Organization declared Smallpox officially eradicated, meaning that for the first time, a plague that killed hundreds of millions of people had been eliminated by human ingenuity. It opened the question of whether we could do this for other lethal threats? We look at efforts to eradicate Polio, an ancient plague, and HIV, a more modern epidemic, to understand how researchers are trying to eradicate these diseases , how close they've come, and what's preventing their final victory.Quirks spoke to Stan Houston, an infectious disease specialist and professor of medicine and public health at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. He's worked on treating HIV and tuberculosis in places such as Zimbabwe, South Sudan, Ecuador and Alberta.Catherine Hankins was the chief scientific adviser for the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS in Geneva, Switzerland. And in 2013, she was named to the Order of Canada and in 2023 was inducted in the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame.

Referencing historical pandemics like cholera, Hong Kong flu, and COVID-19, Dr. Evans illustrates how slashing programs such as PEPFAR ($6 billion), Ryan White (part of HRSA's $1.7 billion cut), and refugee health ($2 billion) dismantles global disease surveillance and response systems. These cuts, he warns, could allow outbreaks in regions like Central Africa to spread to American cities, overwhelming hospitals and disrupting economic stability. Dr. Evans critiques the politicization of health policy, including Medicaid reductions and attacks on evidence-based HIV initiatives, which exacerbate poverty and disease spread. Despite these challenges, he finds hope in humanity's ability to unite across divides, urging physicians to frame global health investments as personal and economic protection for their patients. With another pandemic likely within five years, this episode empowers physicians to advocate for resilient public health systems.Three Actionable Takeaways:Connect Global to Local Risks – Educate patients that funding global health programs like PEPFAR prevents diseases from reaching their neighborhoods, ensuring hospital access.Emphasize Economic Stability – Highlight how public health cuts threaten financial markets and personal 401(k)s by causing pandemic-driven instability, advocating for prevention.Push for Evidence-Based Policy – Counter divisive rhetoric by promoting programs like Ryan White to community members, emphasizing their role in community health.About the Show:The Physician's Guide to Doctoring covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school!About the Guest:Dr. Tyler Evans is an infectious disease and public health physician and CEO and co-founder of Wellness and Equity Alliance. He has led initiatives at Curative Incorporated, Marin County Health, and New York City's COVID-19 response, overseeing delivery of over 2 million vaccine doses nationwide. His work with Doctors Without Borders and the AIDS Healthcare Foundation spans HIV/AIDS, refugee health, and global infectious diseases.

Welcome to a world where medicine meets politics: a space that brings together scientific research, government wrangling, public push-back and healthcare conspiracies…Dr Anthony Fauci was the Director of America's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for nearly four decades, during which time he not only helped study, treat and prevent viruses such as HIV/AIDS and Covid-19; he also advised seven US Presidents, from Ronald Regan through to Joe Biden.Along the way, Tony Fauci's picked up a public profile and taken a fair amount of flack; not least because of his complicated relationship with President Donald Trump. But he's also made great strides in medical research and policy, from working with activists who initially challenged him on the government response to HIV/AIDS - to spearheading the USA's PEPFAR project to share vital medication with developing nations.In a candid conversation with Professor Jim Al-Khalili, Tony discusses his childhood in Brooklyn, the dark early days of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, lessons from the Covid-19, his hopes and fears for the future of American health policy – and his reaction to that pre-emptive pardon from President Biden.Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced for BBC Studios by Lucy Taylor
