The family of Henrietta Lacks is currently in talks to reach a settlement with a biotech company after years of legal battles. According to CBS News, Lacks' family and Thermo Fischer Scientific, the company that profited from her cells after taking them without her consent, will seek to reach an agreement at a settlement conference. While undergoing treatment for cervical cancer in 1951 at John Hopkins Hospital, Lacks' cancer cells were used as the source of the first immortalized human cell line. As her cells kept reproducing, the HeLa immortal cell line was created which is used in biomedical research today. Lacks' cells were the cause of several medical advancements such as the development of the polio vaccine, HIV/AIDS treatment, the COVID-19 vaccine, as well as cosmetic breakthroughs.

Ordained minister Dennis Hall discusses the cultural movement known as transgenderism. He defines this movement and explores what the Bible has to say about men and women attempting to change their biological gender. Transgenderism is then subjected to the views of the Americans College of Pediatricians and Dr. Paul R. McHugh the former chief of psychiatry at John Hopkins Hospital. This fascinating presentation concludes that it is not possible to change a person's gender and efforts to do so are not pleasing to God. Christians are urged to be courageous about Bible teaching on transgenderism and compassionate with those who have been caught up in this movement.

This episode begs you to ask questions. Why are there food shortages again this summer? Is there a connection between the C-19 vaccines and a very odd medical condition called Morgellons Disease? How is it possible that John Hopkins Hospital had the C-19 tracking software already in place at the beginning of the pandemic? Why did the CDC shut down the entire cruise industry yet the airlines allowed to fly?

Cutting-edge research is revolutionizing how multiple sclerosis is diagnosed and monitored. The central vein sign on MRI may soon be a key way of confirming if someone has multiple sclerosis versus other conditions such as migraine, vasculitis, neurosarcoidosis and blockage of small blood vessels (from age, smoking and hypertension). Early clues on MRI imaging are shared in people with evidence of MS prior to developing symptoms (called radiologically isolated syndrome or RIS). New imaging techniques in development visualize changes in progressive multiple sclerosis like slowly-expanding lesions and inflammatory cells called microglia. Dr. Daniel Reich from the NIH covers additional topics from routine MRI monitoring of the brain and spinal cord to remyelination imaging. With incredible medical advances, some people that were considered to have multiple sclerosis are now diagnosed with neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and MOG Antibody Disease (MOGAD). Dr. Sean Pittock from Mayo Clinic shares how NMO and MOGAD are different from multiple sclerosis and reviews the alternate approaches to treatment including the 3 FDA-approved treatments for NMO, Soliris (eculizumab), Uplinza (inebilizumab) and Enspyrng (satralizumab). Latest research in screening spinal fluid and blood for clues of multiple sclerosis discussed to improve diagnosis and monitoring of the disease. Barry Singer MD, Director of The MS Center for Innovations in Care, interviews: Daniel Reich MD PhD is the Chief of the Translational Neuroradiology Section of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He obtained his undergraduate degree in math and physics at Yale, PhD in neuroscience at The Rockefeller University and MD degree at Cornell. Dr. Reich completed residencies in both neurology and diagnostic radiology and a neuroradiology fellowship at John Hopkins Hospital. Sean Pittock MD is a Professor of Neurology at Mayo Clinic. His is the Director of Mayo Clinic's Center for Multiple Sclerosis and Autoimmune Neurology and Director of Mayo's Neuroimmunology Research Laboratory. He earned his medical degree from University College Dublin, post-doctoral degree at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland followed by residency and fellowship at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

Former Highland High School, Oregon Duck and current Detroit Lions Defensive Tackle Haloti Ngata talked about why he decided to play College Football for Oregon rather than playing for Utah or BYU. He reflects on his experience when he was drafted as the 12th pick in the draft. Baltimore traded up to get him. He had an experience of playing with Ray Lewis. Scott had a story of his interaction with Ray. Haloti was able to win a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens. It was one of the biggest accomplishments of his life. That was the Super Bowl that lost power against the San Francisco 49ers. Scott asked Haloti if he hates Quarterbacks. He doesn't like them on the field but is fine with them off the field. Haloti Ngata is nominated by the Detroit Lions for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. Haloti is leading the fan vote by 250,000 votes. He is also up for the Art Rooney Award for being a great example on and off the field. But Haloti is a tough guy on the field and Defensive Tackles gave Scott nightmares. When Haloti was a freshman in college, his father passed away. It hit him really hard to the point where he was thinking about quitting football. Then the year he was drafted, his mother passed away from Diabetes. Diabetes does concern him because of his family history and his culture and what they eat. Haloti knows that and opened a gym to help prevent weight gain. If Haloti could play for any team in any era, he would play with Reggie White with the Eagles. That is the reason why he wears #92. Haloti Ngata mentions giving a donation to John Hopkins Hospital for Diabetes. Now it is time for the Gauntlet of Truth. His greatest highlight is breaking Ben Roethlisberger's nose. His biggest regret in life is not knowing how to speak the Tongan language. With all of his experiences in life. What is the one thing he would want to tell his children the most is that he wants his kids to be serviceable and to be a good servant. Other than his wife and parents, the person with the biggest influence in his life is his high school coach Larry Wilson.

Henrietta Lacks was born in 1920 in Roanoke, Virginia. Henrietta was a 30-year-old, African-American tobacco farmer. On January 29, 1951, she went to John Hopkins Hospital complaining of vaginal bleeding. Upon examination, it was found that she was suffering from an adenocarcinoma in her cervix. A malignant tumor was metastasizing and ravaging her body. Lacks died of cervical cancer in 1951. Her cells were taken from her body without her knowledge and were used to form the HeLa cell line. The HeLa cell lines were the first immortalized human cell line and one of the most important cell lines in medical research. An immortalized cell line reproduces indefinitely under specific conditions, and the HeLa cell line continues to be a source of invaluable medical data to the present day. All while her children suffered and received no help or compensation for her contributions to science.
David Reimer, raised as “Brenda,” is born. Twins Bruce and Brian were born to Ron and Janet Reimer on August 22, 1965 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Six months later, when a failed circumcision severely damaged Bruce’s penis, a psychologist persuaded his parents to raise him as a girl. So, after much angst, they allowed doctors to physically alter their infant, and renamed him Brenda. They did so on the advice of renowned psychologist and sex researcher Dr. John Money of John Hopkins Hospital in the U.S. Money believed “gender identity” could be shaped at an early age, and for many years, he cited Brenda as a shining example. Meanwhile, Brenda Reimer – though in the dark as to her gender history – grew up feeling awkward, hated dresses and insisted on standing while urinating. When she was told the truth at age 14, she took the name David and regarded herself as a boy henceforth. In his 30s, Reimer shared his story with author John Colapinto, who in 2000 published the book, As Nature Made Him: The Boy Who Was Raised a Girl. Reimer appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show, explaining how this experiment had impacted him. Then, in trying to forge a normal life, he underwent surgery to reverse some of the damage. He married a woman with children of her own, and his life seemed to be turning around. However, when he lost his job and separated from his wife, he became suicidal. On May 4, 2004, at the age of 38, Reimer killed himself, leaving his grieving mother to tell the media that had she not been persuaded to put her son through a gender experiment, he would be alive today.
