In this episode, I speak with Dr. Nathan Riley about how modern systems shape pregnancy and birth — not just medically, but psychologically and culturally.This conversation isn't about rebellion or nostalgia. It's about responsibility, trust, and what happens when we're trained to hand those over.We talk about natural birth, home birth, and the power of doing less instead of more. C-section rates keep climbing and fear is introduced early through institutional rituals. Education, compliance, and credentialed authority train us to outsource knowing, especially during pregnancy and birth.

RaeAnn Tucker from the Henry and Stark County Health Departments and First Choice Healthcare Clinics joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to discuss the increasing respiratory infection rates, Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, winter travel safety, sick appointments, and vaccines. Health matters are front and center in Henry and Stark counties this January. Local health officials emphasize the importance of cervical cancer prevention, urging regular screenings and HPV vaccinations for women and adolescents. As the flu season ramps up, residents are also encouraged to get their flu and COVID-19 vaccinations, now available at First Choice Healthcare clinics in Kewanee and Toulon. As winter settles in, safety tips include using low-beam headlights, preparing emergency car kits, avoiding carbon monoxide, and preventing frostbite. Free health insurance enrollment assistance will be available at several local venues this month; details are available at henrystarkhealth.com.

Das iranische Regime lässt die Proteste im Land blutig niederschlagen. Wie viele Todesopfer es bereits gegeben hat, lässt sich nur schwer sagen. Verschiedene Quellen gehen aber von über 2000 Todesopfern aus. Damit dürfte die Protestwelle eine der tödlichsten der letzten Jahrzehnte sein. Weitere Themen in dieser Sendung: · US-Präsident Donald Trump hat dem Regime im Iran erneut gedroht. In einem Fernsehinterview hat Trump die iranische Regierung davor gewarnt, Demonstrierende hinzurichten. Und er hat angekündig, im Falle von Hinrichtungen würden die USA scharfe Massnahmen ergreifen. Was das für Massnahmen wären, sagte er nicht. · Das vergangene Jahr war das drittwärmste seit Beginn der Aufzeichnungen. Wärmer als 2025 waren nur die beiden Jahre davor. Das zeigen die Zahlen des EU-Beobachtungssystems Copernicus. Damit sei es erstmals während drei Jahren mehr als 1,5 Grad wärmer gewesen als im vorindustriellen Zeitalter. · Das eidgenössische Parlament diskutiert über eine nationale Strategie für die HPV-Impfung. Rund 80 Prozent der sexuell aktiven Menschen infizieren sich einmal im Leben mit HPV. Damit ist HPV eine der häufigsten Geschlechtskrankheiten der Schweiz.

Doctors have long recommended regular cervical cancer screenings. Traditionally doctors perform these exams using a speculum, which often say is uncomfortable and, for many, quite painful. Some recent developments could make a large number of these screenings easier. In early January, the Health Resources and Services Administration, which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services, updated its guidelines to say that self-administered tests are an acceptable way to screen for human papillomavirus. HPV is a sexually-transmitted disease that causes the majority of cervical cancer cases. OB-GYNs are hopeful that at-home testing will make cervical cancer screenings easier to access…. and significantly more comfortable.

BUFFALO, NY – January 13, 2026 – A new #hypothesis article was #published in Oncotarget (Volume 17) on January 3, 2026, titled “Hypothesis: HPV E6 and COVID spike proteins cooperate in targeting tumor suppression by p53.” Written by Wafik S. El-Deiry, Oncotarget Editor-in-Chief, from The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and from Lifespan Health System and Brown University, the paper proposes that two viral proteins, HPV E6 and SARS-CoV-2 spike, could jointly reduce the activity of p53, a protein that helps protect cells from becoming cancerous. HPV is already known to drive several cancers, and the hypothesis suggests that additional pressure on p53 could matter for cancer risk or recurrence in some settings. HPV can promote cancer development in part by using its E6 protein, together with a human partner protein called E6-AP, to drive the downregulation of p53. When p53 is weakened, damaged cells may be more likely to survive and continue growing. The new hypothesis asks whether SARS-CoV-2 viral influence could further reduce p53 function in people already affected by HPV. The article highlights studies suggesting that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein may suppress p53 activity and discusses observations that have raised questions about cancer outcomes after COVID-19 infection or vaccination in certain contexts. It also notes that a search of the literature did not identify clear evidence of direct molecular cooperation between HPV and COVID-19 in suppressing p53, which underscores the need for further studies. “I listened to an interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnVMjp9mCA0&t=2s) of Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong by Chris Cuomo where I learned about a patient named Jim Johnson with a history of HPV-related head and neck cancer who by 2022 had survived his HPV-related cancer for 7 years and then he took the COVID vaccine.” To investigate the presented hypothesis, Dr. El-Deiry proposes epidemiological studies that analyze cancer incidence and recurrence in HPV-positive groups with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID mRNA vaccination. It also proposes laboratory studies to assess whether HPV E6 and SARS-CoV-2 spike combined reduce p53 function more than either factor alone. Overall, the hypothesis was formulated to focus attention on an HPV and SARS-CoV-2 shared biological target, p53, and to encourage careful studies that separate coincidence from causation. By outlining specific approaches, it aims to help researchers evaluate whether combined viral pressures on tumor-suppressor pathways could contribute to cancer progression.

Last week the federal government reduced the number of vaccines it recommends for children in the US from 17 to 11. The CDC made these changes without the approval from a federal panel. On today's show, host Douglas Haynes takes a look at these changes and their implications for public health with two experts, Mary Hayney of the UW School of Pharmacy and Kia Kjensrud of Immunize Wisconsin.  They break down the latest 6 changes to recommendations for the HPV, Hepatitis A, Rotavirus, RSV, flu and covid, and Meningococcal vaccines. The difference is that now the CDC doesn't recommend these vaccines, they say “talk to your doctor about them” through a process known as “shared clinical decision-making.” From the point of a published vaccine schedule, the CDC's new recommendations make it appear as if these vaccines are optional, says Hayney. And the changes imply that there hasn't been shared clinical decision-making, though it is common practice already, says Kjenstrud. At the end of the day, there is no scientific basis for these changes and the majority of parents still want their children to be vaccinated, says Hayney. For those who are skeptical about vaccines, Kjensrud says that vaccines are under strict scrutiny. More than 200 groups have joined the American Association of Pediatrics in calling for oversight for these changes. The rationale from the Trump administration is that these changes are in line with other countries like Denmark that recommend fewer childhood vaccines. Hayney says that there are significant demographic differences–in terms of size and diversity– between these countries to make it hard to compare. In addition, universal healthcare covers all citizens in Denmark. They also discuss the trust that pediatricians build with the families they care for, how measles and the flu are deadly and preventable diseases, school attendance policies, the misconception that physicians are making money from these childhood vaccines, and how insurance policies will be affected by these new guidelines.  Mary S. Hayney is a Distinguished Professor of Pharmacy at the University of Wisconsin School of Pharmacy and a Master of Public Health Program Faculty Member at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health/ Her research lab studies vaccine responses in immunocompromised individuals. She teaches immunology topics at the School of Pharmacy, including the immunization course for pharmacy students. Kia Kjensrud has served as the executive director of the Wisconsin Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics since 2007. She is the interim director of Immunize Wisconsin, a statewide coalition supporting efforts around strengthening vaccination ecosystems at the local, regional, and statewide level.

The CDC announced Monday a major overhaul of the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule, reducing the number of routine immunizations recommended for children. In December, President Trump directed Health and Human Services officials to examine how other developed nations schedule vaccines and to reconsider the U.S. approach. FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary said the changes are intended to restore public trust in health institutions that was lost during the pandemic. However, criticism has been fierce. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have pushed back, and the American Academy of Pediatrics has called the move dangerous and unnecessary. Vaccine schedules are handled by the states, meaning states may continue to mandate certain vaccines for school attendance. The updated recommendations also do not eliminate insurance coverage for any vaccines. The CDC changes create three categories. The eleven vaccines that remain in the recommended category include measles, mumps, rubella, polio, pertussis, HPV, and chickenpox. A second category recommends vaccines for individuals considered high-risk, including hepatitis A and B and RSV. The third category includes vaccines available by personal choice after consultation with a doctor, including COVID-19, flu, rotavirus, and others. Earlier this week, former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield joined FOX News Rundown host Jessica Rosenthal to discuss the new and reduced childhood vaccine schedule recommendations. Dr. Redfield, author of the new book Redfield's Warning: What I Learned (But Couldn't Tell You) Might Save Your Life, explained why he supports the changes, while also emphasizing the importance of doctors clearly explaining the benefits of vaccines. He also discussed why public trust has eroded and why encouraging vaccine choice and transparency could ultimately lead more Americans to get the shots needed to protect themselves from disease. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full conversation.

In this episode I'm going to help you understand your Pap smear and colposcopy results, particularly if you have an abnormality. Abnormal cells on the cervix are referred to as "dysplasia," and that means high-risk HPV (human papilloma) virus is active and now is the time to prevent it from getting worse. I want to help you understand what your results mean and what your options are. I've seen so many different scenarios involving women of all ages and backgrounds from around the world. I've put my attention into helping women prevent cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, and other forms of HPV-related cancer. I've developed a protocol that has successfully helped women clear high-risk HPV all the way to negative and maintain that status, preventing the virus from causing cancer. I'm here to help you!

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, and when caught early, it's often highly curable. In fact, reports say Australia is on track to eliminate cervical cancer by 2035. However, many women still have unanswered questions about symptoms, screening and what a diagnosis really means. In this Baptist HealthTalk episode, host Johanna Gomez sits down with Dr. Ryan Kahn, a gynecologic oncologist with Baptist Health Cancer Care, to answer the most searched questions women have about cervical cancer. They cover why early stages are often symptom-free, the warning signs to watch for, how survival rates change by stage and what treatment can look like (surgery, chemo, radiation and newer targeted therapies). Dr. Kahn also clears up common misconceptions about HPV, the HPV vaccine and how often you actually need a Pap/HPV test. Listen now for clear, practical guidance to help you protect your health.If you're due for screening, or noticing changes, this episode helps you know what to do next.Host:Johanna GomezAward-Winning Host & JournalistGuest:Ryan Kahn, M.D. Gynecologic OncologistBaptist Health Cancer Care

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, and this episode is your clear, evidence-based guide to screening—without fear or confusion. Dr. Monica Minjeur breaks down what cervical cancer screening does (and doesn't) test, when to start, how often to screen, and what's changed with newer options like HPV-based testing and emerging self-collection pathways. You'll also learn how abnormal results are usually manageable, why screening protects fertility by preventing more invasive treatments later, and what symptoms should prompt an evaluation even if you're “not due” for a Pap.If you're overdue, trying to conceive, or want a personalized plan, schedule a free discovery call with Radiant Clinic at radiantclinic.com to learn how we support whole-person hormone and fertility health—locally in Cedar Rapids or via telehealth in many states.

Lawrence Blatt, Chairman, President, and CEO of Aligos Therapeutics,  describes the current gaps in treating the hepatitis B virus and how the disease can potentially lead to end-stage liver disease and liver cancer. Current therapies were initially developed for HIV and can suppress the virus but not eliminate or prevent the disease. The lead Aligos drug candidate blocks all steps of viral replication and prevents the virus from integrating into infected liver cells, where it can activate cancer-causing genes. Lawrence explains, "Hepatitis B virus is actually the most prevalent chronic viral infection in the world that makes patients very ill, and they can actually die from this disease. There's almost 250 million, a little bit more than 250 million people infected with Hepatitis B. And it really affects people in all walks of life across many different demographic groups. So there's not a typical HPV patient out there."   "So HBV needs to be treated for life, currently very similar to HIV, and actually HBV and HIV share common features. And early on in the HIV epidemic, patients who were treated with a class of drug called nucleoside analogs, who were also coinfected with HBV, we saw responses to those drugs. So the drugs that worked in HIV, called nucleoside or nucleotide analogs that were purposely built for HIV, worked against HBV, and they worked to a certain degree. They can suppress the virus, but they can't eliminate the virus, and they can't completely suppress all the components of the viral lifecycle that end up causing disease."   "So we're not going to affect the damage that's there initially, but we're blocking that damage from occurring. Now, one thing that's really interesting is that our livers are regenerative organs. So the liver is constantly replacing itself with new healthy hepatocytes or cells that make up the liver. And so if you could block the ongoing disease processes, the liver will have time to heal itself and eventually reverse the scarring. And that's really the only organ in our body that can regenerate. If you get scarring on your lungs or any other part of your body, that is for life. But in the liver, if you block the disease processes, you can reverse that scarring. So it's a very important and unique finding."  #AligosTherapeutics #HepatitisB #Biotechnology #DrugDevelopment #LiverHealth #ClinicalTrials #MedicalBreakthrough #PatientCare #Virology #PharmaceuticalInnovation #Vaccines Aligos.com Download the transcript here  

Lawrence Blatt, Chairman, President, and CEO of Aligos Therapeutics,  describes the current gaps in treating the hepatitis B virus and how the disease can potentially lead to end-stage liver disease and liver cancer. Current therapies were initially developed for HIV and can suppress the virus but not eliminate or prevent the disease. The lead Aligos drug candidate blocks all steps of viral replication and prevents the virus from integrating into infected liver cells, where it can activate cancer-causing genes. Lawrence explains, "Hepatitis B virus is actually the most prevalent chronic viral infection in the world that makes patients very ill, and they can actually die from this disease. There's almost 250 million, a little bit more than 250 million people infected with Hepatitis B. And it really affects people in all walks of life across many different demographic groups. So there's not a typical HPV patient out there."   "So HBV needs to be treated for life, currently very similar to HIV, and actually HBV and HIV share common features. And early on in the HIV epidemic, patients who were treated with a class of drug called nucleoside analogs, who were also coinfected with HBV, we saw responses to those drugs. So the drugs that worked in HIV, called nucleoside or nucleotide analogs that were purposely built for HIV, worked against HBV, and they worked to a certain degree. They can suppress the virus, but they can't eliminate the virus, and they can't completely suppress all the components of the viral lifecycle that end up causing disease."   "So we're not going to affect the damage that's there initially, but we're blocking that damage from occurring. Now, one thing that's really interesting is that our livers are regenerative organs. So the liver is constantly replacing itself with new healthy hepatocytes or cells that make up the liver. And so if you could block the ongoing disease processes, the liver will have time to heal itself and eventually reverse the scarring. And that's really the only organ in our body that can regenerate. If you get scarring on your lungs or any other part of your body, that is for life. But in the liver, if you block the disease processes, you can reverse that scarring. So it's a very important and unique finding."  #AligosTherapeutics #HepatitisB #Biotechnology #DrugDevelopment #LiverHealth #ClinicalTrials #MedicalBreakthrough #PatientCare #Virology #PharmaceuticalInnovation #Vaccines Aligos.com Listen to the podcast here

Funeral director John O'Looney has found disturbing clots and fibrous destruction inside vaccinated cadavers, which prompted him to research the insidious truths about the vaccine industry, which he believes is more deadly than the viruses they purport to treat. He discusses the corruption of the elite, the murky intentions of Big Pharma, and the harsh realities of organ harvesting, which is often supplied by the dead bodies of infants in the medical industry. The true intention of the HPV vaccine is exposed which correlates with the selling of organs on the black market. John feels that it is his God-given mission to expose the evils he has seen and warn the world about what's going on.TAKEAWAYSThere is a huge demand and supply for organ harvesting worldwideWith knowledge comes sorrow and responsibilityBlackmail is often used to control world leaders and power players who determine public narrativesIt's God's work, John says, to expose the evils of the medical industry and save children from being harmed or even murdered

In this episode of Sacred Sex for Real Women, I'm sharing something deeply personal, and something many women quietly navigate alone.This is part one of my HPV and cervical dysplasia journey, including abnormal PAP tests, CIN 2 diagnoses, colposcopies, and the moment I chose to step out of fear-based decision-making and into a more embodied, holistic approach to healing.Inside this episode, I share:How long this journey has been unfolding and why I'm sharing it nowNavigating HPV, cervical dysplasia, and medical recommendations without shame or panicThe moment I walked out of a scheduled LEEP procedure, and whyThe protocols, practices, and lifestyle shifts I'm currently using to support my bodyHow embodiment, nervous system regulation, and sacred sexuality have become part of my healing processThis episode is not medical advice, it's my lived experience, shared for women who want to feel informed, empowered, and sovereign in their health choices.If you're navigating HPV, cervical dysplasia, or feeling overwhelmed by medical pressure, this conversation is an invitation to pause, listen to your body, and choose from grounded self-trust rather than fear.This is part one of my story. Part two will come when my body completes this chapter.

What does it mean when 6,000 women a day enter menopause but there are only 4,100 certified clinicians to treat them?In this year end solo episode, I'm reflecting on 2025 in women's health. It was a year that felt heavy at the start personally for me after losing my mother, and globally with so much suffering and injustice. But even in all of that, women's health moved forward in meaningful ways. Not perfectly. Not fast enough. But enough that it deserves reflection.I'm covering the moments that shifted conversations this year from the FDA removing the black box warning on estrogen to new cervical cancer screening guidelines allowing self-collection HPV tests. From Addyi finally being approved for women under 65 to the release of comprehensive GSM guidelines that make genitourinary syndrome everyone's business, not just gynecologists'.And I'm getting personal about why I launched a concierge practice this year, what it taught me about the broken healthcare system, and why sexual health cannot be practiced in 10-minute appointments.Highlights:Why you're not too old for screening and what "safe exit criteria" really means.Menopause certification jumped from under 1,000 to over 4,100 practitioners in 2025.Menopause divorce vs. midlife clarity: Why hormonal chaos shouldn't decide your marriage.DARE to PLAY is a new, topical sildenafil launching in 2026 for female arousal disorder.Treating male partners reduces recurrent BV by 50% (New England Journal of Medicine).Hormone therapy for prevention: The nuanced conversation about bone health and cardiovascular risk.Why I launched a concierge practice and what it revealed about what women actually need.Thank you for being here for another year of Gyno Girl Presents: Sex, Drugs & Hormones. Your support, your messages, and your stories are what keep me going you are my why. If this year-in-review resonated with you, please share it with someone who needs to hear that they're not broken, not dramatic, and not asking for too much. And keep following the show in 2026 we've got incredible conversations lined up.Get in Touch with Me: WebsiteInstagramYoutubeSubstack

At-home HPV testing has been approved by the FDA and is being widely marketed as a breakthrough in cervical cancer screening—offering convenience, privacy, and accessibility. But as enthusiasm grows, so do important questions.Can at-home HPV testing truly replace the Pap test? What cancers might be missed? And how should women and clinicians thoughtfully integrate this new option into evidence-based care?In this episode of Sky Women's Health, Dr. Carolyn Moyers talks with Dr. Richard Hopley, pathologist and Director of Clinical Pathology at PathAdvantage, to unpack what the headlines aren't telling you about FDA-approved at-home HPV tests.We discuss why HPV-only testing sounds appealing, what it does well, and where it falls short—especially when used as a replacement for the Pap test.Why This Matters to You* HPV testing alone can miss some cervical cancers—even with a negative result* Certain at-home tests detect transient infections, increasing anxiety and unnecessary procedures* The Pap test still provides critical information HPV tests cannot* Convenience should never come at the cost of missed or delayed diagnosesWhat You'll Learn* Who at-home HPV testing may help—and who it may not* Why many experts still recommend Pap + HPV co-testing* How to interpret HPV results without panic* How to make informed screening decisions that prioritize long-term healthBottom line: At-home HPV testing may expand access, but it does not replace comprehensive gynecologic care. Knowing the limits of new technology helps you protect your health—without relying on headlines alone.https://www.pathadvantage.com/at-home-hpv-testing-promise-or-peril/

Hi and welcome to How Humans Heal. I'm Dr. Doni Wilson, and in today's episode, I'm really looking forward to introducing you to Kim Vopni. She's a certified fitness professional and menopause support practitioner known as the Vagina Coach. She helps women with their pelvic floor and vaginal health, and I'm so excited to get to talk about this with you today. Originally, Kim's work was focused on pregnant women with the intention of educating them about the pelvic floor before they gave birth because we know that pregnancy and childbirth do quite a number on the pelvic floor. Then it became clear that the postpartum recovery aspect was very overlooked. Women were being helped to prepare, but then they were sprinting back to the gym at one or two weeks postpartum. There was no recovery period that was even discussed. It just wasn't part of our culture. It's so unfortunate that women don't know that they need to do pelvic floor recovery exercises after birth. Many women need help with pelvic floor and vaginal issues and there's not enough help out there. First of all, we tend not to even talk about the vagina. We tend not to ask for help. Women go through a lot of pain and discomfort and don't even know that there is someone to ask for help with vaginal health issues. Kim and I both are here saying - listen, if you're struggling, there's help. We're here to help you!

This week, we look at ctDNA-guided immunotherapy for bladder cancer, cardiovascular outcomes with tirzepatide, and evidence that one HPV vaccine dose may be enough. We explore high-dose rifampin for tuberculous meningitis, review measles amid rising outbreaks, and follow a challenging case of gastrointestinal bleeding. Essays examine how clinicians navigate post-Dobbs care, tobacco harm among people with mental illness, congenital syphilis, and sustaining medical research.

The $500 million lawsuit was filed by a woman who claimed she suffered severe and lifelong medical complications after being repeatedly raped by Epstein as a teenager. In her complaint, she alleged that Epstein knowingly infected her with HPV, which later developed into cancer requiring multiple surgeries and ongoing treatment. She argued that Epstein used his wealth, power, and manipulation to coerce her into silence while knowingly exposing her to a dangerous virus. The lawsuit framed the decades of medical trauma she endured as a direct consequence of Epstein's abuse, asserting that the estate should be held financially responsible for the staggering health and emotional costs she continued to face.The complaint also accused the Epstein estate of minimizing and concealing the extent of her injuries and the long-term consequences of Epstein's conduct, even as other survivor claims moved through the compensation fund. She argued that her damages far exceeded what the fund could offer, both because of the scale of her medical bills and the lasting impact on her quality of life. By seeking $500 million, she contended that the estate must finally acknowledge the full breadth of harm Epstein inflicted—harm that, in her case, would last for the rest of her life.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Send us a textA packed hallway at the ACNM Annual Meeting turned into the perfect backdrop for a clear, compassionate deep dive on adolescent gynecology. We talk candidly about what really helps teens feel safe in care: transparent consent, real confidentiality, and avoiding unnecessary pelvic exams. From there, we walk through the high-yield topics every clinician faces with young patients—irregular cycles after menarche, painful periods that derail school days, and the difference between normal discharge and vaginitis that needs treatment.We spotlight the red flags that can't be missed, especially ovarian torsion posing as vague lower abdominal pain, and why transabdominal ultrasound often beats transvaginal imaging for adolescents. You'll hear how we build a thorough menstrual history that captures timing, flow, and impact on daily life; how we normalize the maturing hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis; and where first-line therapies like NSAIDs, combined pills, progestin-only methods, and levonorgestrel IUDs fit. We also lay out a patient-led approach to contraception counseling—centered on goals like bleeding control, privacy, and ease of use—while weaving in emergency contraception, STI screening strategies, and the crucial role of the HPV vaccine in preventing cervical and other cancers.Throughout, we keep the focus on trauma-informed practice. That means offering safe words like stop and out during exams, letting teens handle instruments to reduce fear, and moving complex conversations to when patients are fully dressed. We include considerations for transgender and gender-diverse adolescents, from menstrual suppression to reputable clinical resources. By combining practical tools with a respectful tone, this episode gives you a roadmap to adolescent gyn that improves comfort, detects danger early, and builds trust that lasts into adulthood.If this conversation helps you care for teens with more confidence, subscribe, share with a colleague, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 12-11-2025: Dr. Dawn presents colleague Dr. Paul Godin's essay on why US healthcare fails as a market system . She explains that healthcare violates every assumption of functional markets: patients can't compare options during emergencies, information asymmetry prevents informed decisions, demand is inelastic when one has an urgent medical issue, and trust is essential to medicine and in direct conflict with profit incentives. Since 1988's Knox-Keen Act allowed for-profit healthcare, private equity has acquired and stripped hospitals, while administrative costs consume enormous resources fighting over payments rather than providing care. She contrasts this with European models like Switzerland and Germany where everyone must participate, insurers must accept all patients, and profit on basic coverage is limited. She celebrates a vaccination success story: HPV vaccines have reduced cervical cancer by 50% over 30 years. The American Cancer Society now endorses self-collected vaginal samples for HPV screening, with an FDA-approved at-home kit from Teal Health allowing women to skip speculums and traditional Pap smears. Current guidelines recommend screening starting at age 25, with testing every five years after a negative result. Dr. Dawn issues a health alert about multiple hospitalizations in Santa Cruz County from foraged wild mushrooms identified incorrectly by phone apps. She describes cholinergic toxicity symptoms: sweating, excessive salivation, pinpoint pupils, and abdominal cramping—signs requiring immediate emergency care rather than waiting it out. She offers follow-up vaccine advice: "go in wet, then sweat." Hydrate before vaccination, then take a hot Epsom salt bath until sweat runs off your face. This helps eliminate adjuvants that cause post-vaccine fatigue and aches, which are often misinterpreted as catching illness from the vaccine itself. Dr. Dawn expresses alarm that Kennedy's reconstituted ACIP nearly voted to eliminate hepatitis B vaccination at birth. She notes infants exposed to infected mothers have 99% infection rates, with half becoming chronically infected and half of those developing terminal cirrhosis or cancer. Testing pregnant women misses infections acquired during pregnancy, and 12-16% of delivering women have no test records. Major insurers have committed to covering birth vaccination through 2026 despite the panel's actions. She offers holiday microbiome advice from researcher Karen Corbin: increase fiber intake through steel-cut oats, whole grain breads like Dave's Killer Bread, beans, apples, and alternative pastas made from lentils or garbanzo beans. Cooking potatoes ahead and reheating creates resistant starch that feeds beneficial gut bacteria, reduces inflammation, and even stimulates natural GLP-1 production. Dr. Dawn reviews research proving health insurance saves lives. When the ACA's Medicaid expansion became optional by state, researchers could compare outcomes, finding 8% lower mortality and 19,000 fewer deaths in expansion states over four years. An accidental IRS experiment—sending insurance enrollment letters to only 85% of penalty payers—showed significantly lower mortality among those who subsequently got insured. Studies of gunshot and auto accident victims found uninsured patients died more often despite receiving identical emergency treatment. She concludes with surprising cancer symptoms: chest pain specifically triggered by alcohol consumption may indicate Hodgkin's lymphoma, as vasodilation activates inflammatory chemicals in affected lymph nodes. Fractures from minimal trauma in people without osteoporosis warrant investigation, as 5% of cancers involve bone. Elevated calcium levels double cancer diagnosis risk in the following year and should prompt follow-up testing.

Are you wondering whether you need to get a pap smear or colposcopy? Are you wondering whether it's going to be painful or cause other harmful effects in your body? Well, if so, then you're in the right place. I'm Dr. Doni Wilson, a naturopathic doctor as well as a professional midwife and a women's health expert. I've been helping women with abnormal pap smears and high-risk HPV virus for over 25 years, and I'm really glad that you're looking for more information. That tells me you are on the path of taking care of yourself, and that is an essential first step. When it comes to deciding whether to get a pap smear and/or HPV test, keep in mind that these decisions have to do with your age as well as your exposure risk and your past medical history. We're going to talk that through so that you understand exactly, based on your particular situation, whether screening for cervical cancer makes sense at this moment in your life.

There is a renewed call for universal free cervical cancer screening in a bid to eradicate the disease. The State of Cancer report released yesterday shows Aotearoa has not meet its cervical screening target. Currently the cervical cancer screening programme, including self testing for the HPV is not free for everyone. The National Centre For Women's Health Research says that needs to change if we are to eliminate the disease. Centre Founder Professor Bev Lawton spoke to Lisa Owen.

The ACIP voted to replace universal newborn hepatitis B vaccination with shared clinical decision-making for infants of mothers who test negative, a move strongly criticized by major medical and public health groups who warn it could reverse decades of progress in preventing pediatric hepatitis B. A large NEJM trial found that a single dose of HPV vaccine provides protection equivalent to two doses over five years, supporting simplified global vaccination strategies. Real-world evidence from nearly 5,000 patients shows dapagliflozin and empagliflozin deliver similar safety and effectiveness across all forms of heart failure.

A new wave of headlines claim the HPV vaccine “prevents cancer,” but a Cochrane Collaboration review behind those headlines never actually studied cancer outcomes.

In this powerful episode of Metabolic Matters, Dr. Nasha Winters sits down with Dr. Doni Wilson, a naturopathic doctor, midwife, clinical nutritionist, best-selling author, and creator of the Stress Recovery Protocol®.With over 25 years of experience helping women reverse abnormal pap smears, clear high-risk HPV, and prevent cervical cancer naturally, Dr. Doni brings clarity, compassion, and science to a topic too often shrouded in shame. Dr. Doni has helped thousands of women turn around abnormal pap results, clear HPV to undetectable levels, and build resilience for long-term prevention. This episode offers hope, strategy, and a path forward for anyone navigating HPV, cervical dysplasia, or chronic stress.Learn more about Dr. Doni's programs, practitioner training, and resources:Website & Dr. Doni's Say Goodbye to HPV Program: https://doctordoni.com/ FacebookInstagramTwitterTikTokYoutubeAbout Your HostI'm Dr. Nasha Winters, a global healthcare authority, best-selling author, and educator in the emerging field of integrative oncology and terrain-based cancer care.

In his weekly clinical update, Dr. Griffin and Vincent Racaniello discuss the positive side effect of the shingles vaccine on dementia outcomes and how one dose of the HPV vaccine is non-inferior to two doses, but are dismayed about the FDA's secrecy around the inflammatory statement that the COVID-19 vaccine is linked to the death of 10 children. Dr. Griffin then deep dives into recent statistics on the measles epidemic, RSV, influenza and SARS-CoV-2 infections, the Wasterwater Scan dashboard, Johns Hopkins measles tracker, effectiveness of maternal administration of the RVS vaccine or the COVID vaccine for neonates, where to find PEMGARDA, how to access and pay for Paxlovid, long COVID treatment center, where to go for answers to your long COVID questions, how celiac plexus blocks improves gastrointestinal long COVID symptoms, brain alterations and neurodegenerative processes in long COVID cognitive impairment and contacting your federal government representative to stop the assault on science and biomedical research.
