In an insightful conversation with Chino Y Chicano host Enrique Cerna, Dr. Thomas Brown says DEI is not dead, but under political attack.

Karen Thomas of Naturally Recovering Autism interviews Zen Honeycutt from Moms Across America on Aluminum, Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, and Mercury Found in Baby Formula. Catalyzed by the FDA's failure to regulate heavy metals in baby formula, a coalition of consumer advocacy groups commissions testing of 20 different brands. Groups urge the FDA and legislators to protect infants from toxic exposure. Severe health risks posed by these toxic metals include developmental delays, cancer, kidney damage, and neurocognitive difficulties. A coalition of consumer advocacy groups, including Moms Across America, GMOScience, and The New MDS, has uncovered alarming levels of toxic metals in baby formula. Testing of 20 popular brands revealed that 100% of samples contained aluminum and lead, with over half also testing positive for arsenic, mercury, and cadmium. Disturbingly, six formulas contained all five metals in both samples. Notably, aluminum levels in one goat's milk formula were up to 40,000 times higher than other metals tested, far exceeding FDA safety limits. Mercury and cadmium levels in several samples also surpassed allowable limits in drinking water. Despite the FDA's “Closer to Zero” initiative launched in 2021, no substantial regulatory limits have been set, leaving babies vulnerable. Recent efforts, including the Baby Food Safety Act of 2024, which was announced by Congress on May 9, one week after the heads of Moms Across America and GMOScience met with lawmakers and the FDA in D.C. to deliver the results of the baby formula testing, aim to give the FDA authority to regulate and enforce limits on levels of heavy metals found in baby food and potentially formula. Talk points in this podcast: Alarming rates of toxic metals when testing 20 different baby formula brands. 100% of the 40 samples tested contained aluminum and lead. 57% of the samples tested positive for arsenic, 55% for mercury, and 35% for cadmium. Six of the 20 formulas were positive for all five toxic metals in both samples. At 41,000 ppb, aluminum levels in a goat's milk baby formula were 4000 – 40,000x higher than other metals in the formulas tested and exceed limits set by the FDA for maximum safety level of aluminum for a preemie. Levels of mercury in four samples measured above the limit allowed by the FDA in drinking water. Levels of cadmium in both samples of one formula were nearly twice the level allowed in drinking water.

At the time of her Near Death Experience, Karen Thomas was a physical therapist working in Anchorage, Alaska. She injured her back, and during back surgery, the surgeon cut her left common iliac artery causing her to bleed out on the operating room table. During her ensuing Near Death Experience, she observed a surgeon who had been called in from his office to try to save her life.Karen experienced a visit to the Other Side with a Spiritual Guide and a Life Review Before choosing to return to her body. The surgeon who saved her life confirmed to her what she had viewed him doing when he arrived at the hospital from his office when she went to his office for a follow-up after her discharge from the hospital. Karen was able to find this surgeon again decades later, and he once again recalled her case and that she had shared her near-death experience with him at that time.Please enjoy my conversation with Karen Thomas.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

Is it appropriate to ask to try something someone else got when you go out to eat? What if it's a total stranger? Etiquette expert Karen Thomas explains in the podcast! Image Source: Getty Images

It's the very first episode of Timey Wimey Talk, A Doctor Who SPaRCast. Get to know why Karen Thomas and Liz decided to jump on this crazy Gallifreyan train with Hayley (who will be on future episodes) & BVK to discuss The Doctor and their exploits! After introductions, the discussion turns to the first of the 60th Anniversary Specials, The Star Beast, that reunites a mysteriously regenerated David Tennant as the 14th Doctor and Catherine Tate's Donna Noble. The plan was to talk about all 4 of The Specials on this episode, but there was just too much goodness to talk about in The Star Beast, thanks in part to Karen's extensive behind-the-scenes notes!

(3:52) The holidays always happen on the same day every year, so if you're always late, that's all I need to know about you! (7:49) What unique sides does your family have on Thanksgiving? Producer Jon's family eats something which sounds absolutely disgusting, yet oddly delicious… (10:54) The Santa Tipline has returned!  Call 855-785-4101 and leave Santa a voicemail about who has been naughty and who has been nice.  Anna and Raven will play the funniest messages on the air! (17:10) Things can get a little crazy during Thanksgiving dinner, but Etiquette expert Karen Thomas has some tips to deal with unruly family members! (20:44) What are your predictions for the games tomorrow? Anna doesn't know what she's talking about, but 10-year-old Cooper definitely knows a thing or two!  (24:19) 28% of people admit that they don't know how to cook a turkey, so Anna and Raven decided to ask some kids about how to prepare the Thanksgiving bird!

(30:44) Andrew and Gianna have a nine-year-old daughter who is very good at gymnastics. They would like to send her to an elite gymnastics' academy but it's very expensive.

Gianna says it's not fair to their daughter that she won't get regular gifts and basically, it's a family Go Fund Me for their child. As the parents, it should be their responsibility to fit the bill even if it'll be a struggle. What do you think? (34:15) Ryan has got a shot at $1100! All he has to do is beat Raven in pop culture trivia! (42:15)

In this replay episode, we delve back into the remarkable near-death experience (NDE) of Karen Thomas, which took place on July 7, 1982, in Anchorage, Alaska. At the time, Karen was working as a physical therapist and had to undergo her second back surgery following an injury. Fearing a potential spinal fusion that could end her career, she sought prayers from her loved ones on the day of her operation. During the procedure, a medical emergency occurred when Karen's left common iliac artery was accidentally severed, causing her to bleed out on the operating table. This led to an out-of-body experience where she observed the frantic efforts of the medical staff to save her life. Her journey didn't stop there; she traversed through space and time, encountered a spiritual guide, visited departed family members, underwent a life review, and even witnessed the energy generated from the prayers of her friends and family. Karen's NDE story is not only awe-inspiring but also transformative. Today, she is committed to sharing her profound experience and the divine love and light she encountered during her NDE. Karen has witnessed the healing power of her story in her own life and in the lives of those she has shared it with. Karen's story has reached a wide audience. She has spoken for the IANDS Durham group and has submitted her written account to IANDS.org, where it is available under the title "Prayers Like Musical Notes". She was also featured in the documentary "Back From the Light" co-produced by Yvonne Sneeden and Robert Neal Marshall. Her story was highlighted in the IANDS January 2017 newsletter, and she was interviewed on NDE Radio on February 27, 2017. The radio interview can be found at NDEAccounts.com under "A Unique Christian Account - FreeWill". Both the radio interview and written account are accessible online at NDERF as number 4317 Karen T in both their current and Exceptional Archives sections. Karen eagerly looks forward to sharing her enlightening message with attendees at future NDEOneDay events. Tune in to this replay episode to revisit her extraordinary journey.

This episode is a discussion about Bryce's audiologist appointment regarding his increasing hearing sensitivity.  We review several books that have been sent to us that relate to autism. We also talk about a workshop that we did as a couple with Curated Family Therapeutics. We have both recognized the importance of intentionally making time for ourselves, individually AND as a couple! This workshop gave us some tools to build upon that will help both of us remain aligned with our values and goals. This alignment will keep our marriage healthy and make us a stronger couple for parenting Bryce. Curated Family Therapeutics (Therapeutic Services/Consulting) Warrior Mom by Tracy M.
