Podcasts about Lorazepam

If you have a dream about a tsunami taking you out, that might just mean that you need to lay off the Lorazepam for awhile and that your husband will be most likely be going to jail soon... But no more tsunami videos before bed, Lochy! Also, I wanted to add a quick PSA: do not smoke weed in Thailand, or you might end up releasing a shit ton of venomous snakes and putting your girlfriend- I mean life partner's life in danger.

If you're not popping a Lorazepam before a relaxation massage, did you even relax? Also, you shouldn't judge your massage by its lack of happy ending, Saxon. It's a resort not a brothel. I'm so bummed that I forgot to talk about how Rick was only nice to Chelsea after she had a traumatic experience! Is there some humanity left in him still? We'll see in the next few episodes!

It's time for another to be soon forgotten episode of What We've Seen, where Si and Jonny literally just list a bunch of things they've watched lately...only this time...there's video! Amid yells of "Piper NEEEOOOOWWW!" and demands for Lorazepam, we take you on a journey through new movies, old movies and tv shows that we think are - quote - "good".   Enjoy!   WATCH THE VIDEO ON YOUTUBE - https://youtu.be/idLh8mq0S0E WATCH THE VIDEO ON SPOTIFY - https://open.spotify.com/episode/31GOZbbgJf8tsPVbRu5p7v?si=01655631785b40f4   MUSIC TRACKS Modern Funk Groove by StudioEtude.

We also talk about the most likely outcome from FWB. And I share my past experiences to make you feel better about your own lol.  We also nibble on Lorazepam, flying, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Vet costs, etc. 

For all the White Lotus fans out there, Season 3 gave us a lot to think about—especially the moment in the finale when the monk says we suffer most when we search for resolutions that don't exist. We've all been there: waiting to hear what our boss thinks about a project, wondering if someone's romantically interested and they haven't texted back, or hoping the market rebounds. We get caught up in needing things to turn out a certain way—and in the process, we lose patience, peace, and the present moment. But problems resolve… and then new ones arise. If we're always chasing certainty, are we also signing up for a lifetime of stress and worry? This week's podcast explores how we can find more patience and ease—even when there are no clear resolutions in sight.

As a neurological emergency, status epilepticus (SE) requires timely diagnosis and treatment. A US study found that 10% of people with SE were not diagnosed by emergency services. Among those who were diagnosed in an ambulance, 20% did not receive any first-line treatment, while others received lower-than-recommended doses. Sharp Waves spoke to senior author Dr. Elan Guterman about the study.Publications mentioned during the conversation:Status Epilepticus Identification and Treatment Among Emergency Medical Services Agencies  JAMA Neurology A Comparison of Lorazepam, Diazepam, and Placebo for the Treatment of Out-of-Hospital Status Epilepticus | New England Journal of MedicineParamedic-Identified Enablers of and Barriers to Pediatric Seizure Management: A Multicenter, Qualitative Study: Prehospital Emergency CareEmergency response to out-of-hospital status epilepticus | Neurology Sharp Waves episodes are meant for informational purposes only, and not as clinical or medical advice.Let us know how we're doing: podcast@ilae.org.The International League Against Epilepsy is the world's preeminent association of health professionals and scientists, working toward a world where no person's life is limited by epilepsy.

It's a stressful world out there. And one way some people quiet it down is taking medications like Lorazepam, Xanax, or Valium. They're called Benzodiazepines and their use and misuse has become a plotline in the popular TV series The White Lotus and The Pitt. University of British Columbia's clinical assistant professor and addictions medicine specialist Dr. Paxton Bach explains the benefits and risks of taking benzos. For transcripts of The Dose, please visit: lnk.to/dose-transcripts.

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:59  Okay, Be It babe. This is going to be a different kind of episode, but in the best way. I have Sam Mandel, who is a founder of Ketamine Clinics in LA and I was really intrigued by what I know about ketamine from my friends' holistic doctors. And when he came up as someone I could interview, I was like, oh, we need to do this, because there is a lot of misinformation about ketamine and what ketamine can be used for, and I'm on a mission to help you be it till you see it. And I really want you to understand all the different ways that you can have support in feeling more like yourself and not letting things get in your way. And so that is why we're going to talk about ketamine today. And if you think you know what it is, I strongly encourage you to just stay and listen, because I thought I knew and I learned so much. And then on top of all of that, I really enjoy Sam's story of how he started these clinics and what he and his dad did. And so there's just a lot of beautiful information in this episode, and I can't wait for you to hear it. So here is Sam Mandel. Lesley Logan 2:00  All right, Be It babe. I am really excited. I can tell you for a fact, we've never talked about this on the Be It Pod. And only is it quite timely, I think it's actually extremely imperative that we have this discussion so we have Sam Mandel here on the show. We're gonna talk about ketamine and all things about it, ketamine therapy. Sam, can you tell everyone who you are and probably why you rock at ketamine therapy?Sam Mandel 2:25  Yes, yeah. Thank you so much for having me, Lesley. So, I am Sam Mandel. I'm the co-founder and CEO of Ketamine Clinics Los Angeles. We're one of the first ketamine clinics in the country, established in 2014 and we specialize in IV infusions of ketamine for mental health, but we also offer several other innovative therapeutics for mental health. Lesley Logan 2:45  I love that mental health is something more people are talking about, and there's like more awareness around it, but also that there can be clinics that are working on different ways of helping, supporting mental health, including these infusions. For people who have heard about ketamine, and maybe not the positive ways, can we kind of, can we just dive in and ease their nerves about what we're talking about here?Sam Mandel 3:07  Let's do it. Some of your listeners are definitely like, ketamine what? And there's five different people saying that it's five different things, and all of them are correct. So that's one of the interesting things about ketamine. It is, first and foremost, an FDA-approved anesthetic for humans. It was FDA-approved in 1970. This is an old medicine. It's also commonly used in veterinary medicine. So a lot of people know of it as a horse tranquilizer or a cat tranquilizer. In some circles, it's more commonly known as that than as a drug for humans. But there's a lot of medications that we use for humans, that we also use in veterinary medicine. And it's also a drug of abuse, or something that people use recreationally or self-medicate with, depending on how you want to look at it, known as Special K. Same drug. It's used as an analgesic, as a pain reliever, in emergency room departments and crisis situations, trauma situations, when someone's in a terrible accident, they're in pain, they need sedation, or someone goes in and they need their shoulder reset, they commonly will use ketamine for conscious sedation. So it is a ubiquitous drug. It has a lot of different uses and applications, and one of its most recent, or probably its most recent, addition to that list of its identities, if you will, is as a mental health treatment. And in the last 25 years, there's been a growing body of clinical research proving ketamine to really be among the fastest, if not the fastest-acting, safest, most effective depression treatments available today.Lesley Logan 4:36  I mean, it's kind of amazing that it can be all these different things, also not, right? Like there's so many things, I feel like there's a lot of untapped medicines out there that we're already using, and we don't realize it could be done for other things. Can we talk about how it helps? Because I'll say my family's understanding of mental health treatment is when you sit on a couch and you talk to a therapist and you go weekly if you're depressed, you can take a pill that will kind of help with some hormonal imbalances. But that's not what this is. Sam Mandel 5:01  Yes, that is not what this is. And by the way, talk therapy is great. I go to therapy every week, you know, even when I'm in a good place and I don't necessarily feel like I have a lot to talk about, it's like going to the gym. I just go. I show up every week no matter what. And I think that's really good and healthy, especially if you have a therapist who you think cares about you and is invested in you, and you can just talk about, you know, life. And I'll tell you, sometimes when I go and I don't have anything bothering me or an agenda is when I do the most important work in those sessions, sometimes, so you just never know. But talk therapy is great, but it can only go so far. The conscious mind really gets in the way. Finding someone who cares is difficult the right credentialed person is expensive. A lot of the best people typically don't take insurance. It's not true for all of them. There's wonderful people out there who do, but a lot of the really good ones don't, and so it's a tough thing, but it has its limitations, like with anything. Ketamine and other psychedelic medicines, because ketamine, for all intended purposes, really is a psychedelic, and it's really the only legally available psychedelic in the United States, has the ability to really dissolve these barriers that get in our way. It helps people to get out of their own way and with exponential growth in ways that really are not possible and haven't been seen in any other treatment or modality. And the way it does that is really two primary mechanisms of action. The first is the neuro chemical effects and what's going on in the brain and how ketamine is impacting the brain and our neurochemistry in ways that really nothing else does. And the other is the experiential component, psychologically, what is going on during the experience or the trip that people have when they're receiving this medicine. And both of those are profound and really create lasting impact. On the neuro-chemical level, there's a neurotransmitter called glutamate. It's the most abundant neurotransmitter in the brain. It's present in 85% of the brain. All the other neurotransmitters combined comprise only 15% but for some reason, we've been disproportionately focused on them with mental health treatment. Those are the common ones you know of. Serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, you know, the most common class of antidepressant medications are SSRIs. Those are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and those are targeting serotonin. They're a tool. They help some people. They really don't help a lot of people, too, and the people they do help, they really cause a lot of negative side effects and weight gain, sexual dysfunction, dried mouth, blurred vision, even increased suicidality, and the list goes on and on, really terrible side effects that are really debilitating for a lot of people. Even when those side effects are not as debilitating, the quality of relief is typically not very good. So people will say, oh, well, I definitely am not as depressed, but I don't feel happy either. I'm just kind of existing. They have the spectrum of life and of the human experience narrowed, so the lows are not as low, but they're not really thriving either. Not a nice place to be. Is it better than being in bed all day? Absolutely. But that's not the goal. That's not my goal for my life. That's not my goal for other people's lives and for the patients who come to our clinic. We want people to really thrive. Ketamine has the ability to help people to truly thrive. It restores compassion for self and others. It is enhanced energy and motivation for most people. It's a genuine reconnection of self. One of the things that happens with this, with the glutamatergic system and other processes that are occurring in the brain with IV infusions of ketamine, is it causes and promotes neurogenesis, enhanced neuroplasticity, actual new pathways, new connections forming in the brain. This helps people to form new habits, new patterns, new ways of thinking and being that can be very, very positive by disrupting a lot of the automatic responses and reactions we have in our day to day life that get so deeply enmeshed in us that they become a part of our personality, and ketamine can kind of push the reset button on that so that we have the opportunity to consciously choose who we want to be and how we want to be, and helps us call into question the things that we've accepted as just that's the way that I am, or that's the way that it is, and that's not the case most of the time. You look at trauma, for example, ketamine is extremely helpful for depression and anxiety, but also for PTSD, and a lot of people have some trauma that is at the root of one of those issues, and ketamine helps people to recraft the story around that trauma. So what happened is fixed and can never change. The past is the past, but our stories about it can change at any given moment, who we are and who we were and the other people and our role in it, and their role in it, and what happened and what didn't happen, and ketamine provides this kind of objective clarity on that that can be extremely healing and transformational for people.Lesley Logan 9:50  Yeah, this is fascinating. What I've known about ketamine, and I have friends who, I have a holistic doctor friend who offers it as a treatment, and I've heard of these amazing effects that can happen, but I never understood on the brain level, like what's going on and why it's different than the antidepressants that people are on, and how it could, so if someone comes in, first of all, what are some of the reasons why they're coming in for treatment, and then what is the, what are the expectations? Are they coming in one time for an IV infusion? Is this a weekly thing? And how long can the effects last? Can it be forever? Do they have to keep coming back? Can I get the lowdown on that? Sam Mandel 10:25  Yeah, you're asking all the right questions. So what treatment looks like is typically a series of six infusions over two to three weeks after that process I just explained where people are cleared for treatment. They come in, we have them fill out some paperwork, do a brief physical exam, and they come back to a private room. We help them to become comfortable in a recliner with noise canceling headphones, a sleep mask, unlimited selection of relaxing music, pillows, blankets, and we start an IV, and then we infuse the ketamine for 50 to 55 minutes. And it's a slow, gradual, steady state of infusion. People are conscious and awake the entire time. There's a level of dissociation where we don't want them to go so far that they don't know what's happening, but we want them to go into it far enough that they can kind of have a little bit of that quieting of the noise and chatter in their minds, and get a little bit of that clarity that I was describing earlier, and this separation really from themselves in a healthy way to take a look at things that can be really therapeutic, and doing that inner work. We monitor them the whole time. We use hospital-grade monitoring equipment. So that's like pulse, oxygen, EKG, blood pressure, continuous monitoring. I mean, it's a very safe medicine when it's used responsibly in a clinical setting like Ketamine Clinics Los Angeles. We still do all the proper monitoring just to make sure that people are comfortable and safe. And yeah, it's, that's pretty much the, you know, summary of the experience.Lesley Logan 11:53  Yeah, no. Thank you for sharing that, because I think, I don't think anyone's ever explained that, and I'm trying to think about people listening. It's like, well, what does it look like, you know, because let's just talk about what, we have heard about ketamine in the news lately, and it will continue to be in the news as people are going on trial, like when we hear Matthew Perry pass away from not the best use of ketamine, I think people are like, well, then how do you, what does it look like? Am I doing this myself? And I love that you have a wonderful protocol that allows people to be safe and use it in the best way that gets them the best results. But can we talk about the dark sides of ketamine, and what are some signs that people might not be in the safest situations using ketamine?Sam Mandel 12:30  Yeah, well, I'll definitely answer that with your reference to Matthew Perry, which is obviously a really sad situation. He was taken advantage of by people he trusted. He was a addict. He had a really, he's really struggled with addiction. He was very public about that, and not with ketamine specifically, but with really any substance that he could get his hands on. And was in a lot of pain, obviously, and it's a terrible situation. I think it's really important that people understand, though, that that has nothing to do with ketamine therapy. And the media created a lot of confusion for people saying that he had had ketamine therapy a few weeks ago and but that wasn't really a part, a factor in his death. But by the way, he had that and, you know, saying that he died from the acute effects of ketamine, that's just it was really, really distorted. He took more than 10 times the dose of ketamine that we give in the clinic by himself, in combination with buprenorphine, which is essentially an opioid, and Lorazepam, a benzodiazepine, which is another sedative. So he's combined three powerful sedatives, one of them in really absurd doses, by himself in a hot tub. And of course, what happens? He becomes incapacitated and he drowns. This is not, this is such a departure from what we do when we use ketamine in a therapeutic context. There's no correlation, but the way that it's been reported on, and what the average person hears is, oh, ketamine is a bad, dangerous drug, and that's it. That's the takeaway, and that's really a sad thing for people to to get from it. What they should get is that addiction is a serious illness. What they should get is taking lots of sedatives in combination is dangerous. Taking drugs unsupervised, alone in a hot tub is dangerous. These are the takeaways. There was even medical doctors involved in supplying it to him, but they were part of an illicit, underground, illegal drug ring. You know, this is not like mental health care, you know?Lesley Logan 14:25  I know. It's so sad because, well, first of all, the whole situation is sad. It's sad that someone was taken advantage of. It's sad that someone died from combining too many things, but also because they had doctors doing it, like all of that is sad, and, but, really, what I find, and one of the reasons I wanted to talk with you is, so this podcast is called Be It Till You See It, and one of the things that I am always on a search for is like, what can keep us from being it until we see it, what's holding us back in our life, or what can help us more? And the facts of what ketamine therapy that you do that is supervised, and you have pre-screened people to make sure that this is the right therapy for them, the benefits can actually change people's lives, like you said at the beginning, to choose what they want, and that allows them to step into the person that they want to be, like to me, this can be an amazing option for people who they know what they want, but they are just stuck, and they've got other things going on that with their mental health that the talk therapy hasn't helped with, or antidepressants haven't helped with. And so I really wanted to, like, clear the air and go, this can be an option for the right person.Sam Mandel 15:30  Absolutely and I'm really grateful for the opportunity to speak with you and for you creating a platform to have conversations like this, because people deserve to know the truth. And you know, you talk about talk therapy. I mean, a number of patients have literally said that was like 20 years of therapy in an hour. I mean, it really is that exponentially transformational. And it's not instead of therapy, but in addition to, right? When you can do a treatment like this and then work through the material and the learnings that come up for you with someone who understands mental health, who you trust, that's where a lot of even more growth can happen, and you can implement those learnings into your day to day life in the weeks to come. That process is usually referred to as integration, and it can look a lot of different ways, but then you have your experience. How do you integrate it into your life and actually make lasting change? Ketamine really does produce transformation for most people. In the almost 11 years that we've been doing this, we have done over 30,000 infusions. We have an 83% success rate, and we're typically not seeing people who are just wanting to have growth because they're stuck. We're seeing people who have treatment resistant depression, complex PTSD, severe anxiety, suicidality. I mean, there are definitely more moderate cases, but we see a lot of people have really just they've tried a lot, and some of them tried everything, and they haven't benefited. And this really works for them, because it works on under a completely different mechanism of action than the conventional treatments like antidepressant pills or even ECT or talk therapy, or really anything else out there. Lesley Logan 17:04  Yeah, when I think about PTSD, we obviously a lot of things about vets. People have been in the military, but there are people with PTSD who have had other traumas. It doesn't have to be that you've been to war. You could have been in a bad car accident, you could have been assaulted. Can you kind of explain and maybe it's redundant, but just how does ketamine help with PTSD, and then what does someone's life look like? What with one, do you have a case that a person who you can talk about, like, who had PTSD and like, what their life was like after the ketamine treatment? Sam Mandel 17:29  I'm glad you bring that up, because while a lot of us do think of military and war, there's actually many more cases of PTSD among the civilian population in the examples that you mentioned with violence, assault, accidents, etc. So it's super common, unfortunately. I believe there's around 16 million Americans suffering from PTSD who are at least diagnosed. There's many more, I'm sure, who are undiagnosed. And ketamine really does help with the neurochemistry in the brain and helping to rewire the brain, and it also really helps with the perception that we have of ourselves, of the event. People who have trauma are able to go back and revisit the trauma without being as emotionally triggered by it. And so sometimes, when I've talked about this with you know, friends, they say, yeah, you can revisit your trauma and work through it, and it's so great. And they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Why would I want to revisit my trauma? What are you talking about? I'm going to go and spend time and money to go there? No, thank you. I spent time and money avoiding my trauma, not going to visit it. But it isn't like that. You know? There's this ability to work through it without having the kind of pain of going there that is so often keeping people from addressing it head on in talk therapy and in life. We avoid, naturally, what's painful, but it isn't painful for most people in this context, they're able to have this detachment that is healthy in this way, to revisit it and to understand who we are, who we were, what our role was, what It was and etc, and to get clarity on that. And it can be really healing. It can really provide closure for a lot of people. And just with the whole cascade of different chemicals going on in the brain, it gives people generally a better mood and more positive outlook and demeanor, and enhanced feelings of compassion towards oneself and towards others and energy and motivation and just all around wellness, it's an elevator in that way which can just be really motivating for people to be able to do the things that most of us know we need to do and just struggle with in terms of our lifestyle, like fitness and eating healthy and sleeping well and talk therapy and having healthy relationships with people, getting outdoors and getting some sun and some fresh air, doing things we enjoy, all that stuff is absolutely critical for longevity, and for someone who's really severely depressed or anxious or dealing with real trauma, they can also feel like it's almost impossible to do a lot of those things. Lesley Logan 20:00  Yeah, yeah. You know, it's really interesting. If you're not someone who has PTSD, or you haven't had, like, severe depression, it can be hard to understand that it becomes all encompassing, you know? But if you think about it, like, when you've had an injury, you've been sick for a few days and you can't leave the bed, that's the the domino effect of what happens to your strength, and then what happens to your ability to, like, feel like you can reach out and that you can connect with people because you've been sick for a week. It's an easy way to see like, oh, if that's my life all the time, you know, it's not easy to go outside, and it doesn't feel easy to connect with people. And so it becomes part of their whole life. And so it's really cool to hear that with ketamine treatments over a couple of weeks that they could have a new lease on life and enjoy it. And I love that you brought up longevity, because I think we forget that how we treat our bodies now is what dictates how long will you get to have them? Hopefully, there won't be anything that stops us from living the life that we're supposed to but if you don't see like a lease on life there, what longevity do you have, you know, so it must be really amazing to get to do what you do every day. You really help so many people.Sam Mandel 21:01  I love it. It's the most gratifying thing ever, you know. When I tell people a lot of my job, the reality of what I do on a day to day basis, I have to do a lot of things I don't like to do, I don't want to do. I'm the CEO of my company. I get the worst, toughest problems that no one else can deal with. I get the fires to put out, the problems, the issues that got escalated to me, and all the weight and pressure and responsibility of it, and there's a lot of stuff, this is not fun, frankly, but I do it because of the, for the patients and for my team, and the work that we're doing, the impact that we're having. It's hugely motivating and gratifying. And when I see patient who I pass in the hallway in the clinic, and they just, can I just give you a hug, or I just want to say thank you so much, or we get a new Yelp review, and someone goes through and lists, you know, half my team by name and how amazing each one of them is, and how life-changing this has been for them. That's what gets me up in the morning, and that's what helps me to keep going every day. I just love it. The transformations are very abundant. And, you know, like I said, 83% it's not magic. It doesn't work for every person every time. It's not perfect, but it is a really incredible treatment.Lesley Logan 22:04  Yeah, yeah, I do understand that. I mean, my husband and I run our own businesses, and sometimes you can forget what you do while you're doing it, because you're doing all the fires, yeah? But then you do get stopped by someone who's been helped by it, or their life has changed, and you're like, oh, that's why I do this. Obviously, you know, it's been a journey to get to do this. Can you take us back how you figured out how to create a space where people could have ketamine therapy? You know, you are the first in the country. So, like, there wasn't really a model to go off of. So I feel like there's a be it till you see it story in there.Sam Mandel 22:36  Oh yeah. Started with me building the website with GoDaddy website builder, drag and drop modules, not knowing a lick of code, never built a website or anything of the sort, not even the most tech savvy guy, and literally just dragging and dropping and, you know, doing research on articles and clinical research, and conferring with my father, who I co-founded the practice with. He's a physician, and I'm talking about, what do you think about this? I'm just trying to make sense of it all in a way that I could understand it well enough to then be able to put it into layman's terms and explain it to other people. What is this? How does it work? And just putting it together, and then going to Radio Shack and getting a motorLesley Logan 23:17  That's how long ago this is because I don't even think they're around anymore.Sam Mandel 23:20  They're not, They went bankrupt. Lesley Logan 23:22  Was it the Radio Shack on Santa Monica Boulevard underneath the yoga place? Because that was my favorite. Sam Mandel 23:27  It was the Radio Shack in Marina Del Rey by the CVS and little strip mall off of Max Stella or something. Anyways, I got a Motorola flip phone prepaid, and I said to my father, you ready to launch the site? We're going to make it live. And made it live, and started taking calls on this cell phone. We were renting space in another doctor's office that was literally this closet. No kidding, they used it as a utility closet before we rented it, and once we moved out and got our own space. They went back to just keeping boxes in there. That's how tiny this room was, no kidding, and it was just really a trip. We had a operating room, recovery area, recovery room for an OR right outside of that little closet that we were in, which, by the way, we were sitting at literally just two folding chairs, a folding table with two laptops, and that was it, no kidding. And we use this recovery area to see patients. And we saw our first few patients, and their transformations were so incredible. We went, this is just too special. We have to do whatever it takes to do more of this. And my father was working as an anesthesiologist. He also has a master's degree in psychology. He was chief of anesthesia in this plastic surgery suite where we were. And so it started out with, well, he's already there, doing anesthesia for the surgery. Maybe we see a couple patients here or there, see how it goes. And next thing we knew, we just started getting busier and busier. The word got out. This was such a radical thing that a lot of people were very incredulous, very suspicious. A lot of people were very critical, but we were like, it doesn't matter. I mean, this is just too special. And it got to the point where my father had to choose between doing our cases or doing ketamine infusions for patients. And I, I remember that quite vividly, where I said, it's really gotta pick. We can't continue to do both. And it was a big risk, you know, it was a really big risk. So I have a lot of respect, you know, for him, for that and that we both just said, let's be all in on this. And, you know, we bootstrapped it. We put everything on credit cards. We had no investors, no financing, no loans, nothing. It's just a little bit of cash, credit cards. And really, just brick by brick, built it up, and now we have 15 employees, 5000 square feet, a really beautiful purpose-built office. I still have, well after the falling table, I had a custom desk built because of maximizing every inch of that space. So I had, there was a little nook between two pillars in that room, under a window, where they made this skinny little desk that was probably literally eight inches wide by three and a half feet long or something. Just stick it in this little nook so I could sit at a proper desk, and I still have that here in our suite now, and so that's kind of fun, but, yeah, it's just truly been an incredible journey.Lesley Logan 26:12  I thank you for taking this back, because we do have a lot of people who are entrepreneurs, and I think that they need to hear that like even a ketamine clinic, the first of its kind, starts in a utility closet. You know, people don't realize, because if you, one, you have to know if people want the thing. You knew it was great. You knew it could be amazing. But you have to get people to buy in, and especially on something that long ago, where people might not know all the amazing things that it can do. And even today, now, even with a beautiful space that can attract people in and make them feel super safe, doing something that changes lives, but also going up against where misconceptions, misinterpretations, and also the people who are misusing it can affect the majority getting the help that they need. I love hearing the stories of how things come to be. And also that is pretty amazing that your dad was like, yeah, I'm gonna quit my safe job. There's always gonna be surgeries, you know. So that's so, so, so cool, and it's really amazing. Is there anything about ketamine therapy that I haven't asked you, that you want to make sure people know? Is there anything else that we can help people understand why this would be something they might need to use, or might use so that they can have the life they want to have?Sam Mandel 27:19  Yeah, I do want to mention, you know, I was talking about how, you know, Matthew Perry was misusing it, and how different that situation is from what we do. And ketamine is still something that people do use recreationally or abuse or misuse. It's not as common, I think, as sometimes it's portrayed, but it definitely can happen, but it's also not in the same category as most other substances, because ketamine is not addictive in the way that most others are. And what I mean by that is you don't develop a physical dependence on it if, for example, like nicotine or opioids or alcohol or benzodiazepines, all you can get to the point where you actually need it to not feel sick. I mean, you have physical symptoms of feeling like nausea, headaches, wanting to throw up. Even with benzos, you can actually, if you abruptly stop taking high doses, you can literally have seizures and die. And you know, you can have symptoms from abrupt cessation of alcohol if you're a heavy alcoholic. That doesn't happen with ketamine. So some people can use it in the way that they're using it as a means to escape, but that's not really that different as far as the psychological dependence in the way that someone can use ice cream or chocolate or, you know, sour candies or sex or any of these other video games as a means of escape or avoiding or to self-soothe. So I think it's important that people understand that. It also has a very, very high therapeutic index. There's actually no known lethal dose of ketamine, so you can obviously be in a bad, unsafe environment, where, if you take a bunch and get into a car, that's not a not such a great outcome for you, or in a jacuzzi, but the medicine itself is unlikely to hurt you on its own. Most of the issues are people in bad situations, or they're combining it with other drugs. Virtually, almost all of the fatalities that are related to ketamine were one of those two, either in combination with other drugs and or in a situation like behind the wheel of a car. So I just want people to know that it's not to say that there aren't people who have an issue with misusing ketamine, because there are, but it really is distinct from most other substances that people are misusing or abusing.Lesley Logan 29:20  Thank you for saying that, because I do think, as a child of the night, you know, I grew up in the 80s, so it's, like, always just say no to drugs. Sam Mandel 29:25  The cocaine epidemic. Lesley Logan 29:28  Yeah, so I know they really that didn't really help them, did it? But, like, they thought it would. But I, like, grew up, so it's really funny when I have friends who, like, talk about doing some sort, some psychedelics, or do I have this innate like, I don't, I don't know, I don't know if I could do that. I'm afraid to try. I'm like, I'll be addicted on the first dose. Sam Mandel 29:45  Right, right, right. Lesley Logan 29:47  This is my fear, which is why I drink, right? That's what people do. And so they said no to drugs, but then they drink. But I really appreciate because it's nice to know that if I were to do a ketamine therapy, I'm not going to be dependent on coming to ketamine therapy every single week or I'll be using it at home, like, it's nice to know that it's a non-addictive thing that people can use to get the benefits. And I think that can make a lot of people feel more comfortable, you know. Sam Mandel 30:08  Yeah, because people are afraid of that, they think, God, well, if I go and do this, even if it's in a therapeutic way, am I going to become a ketamine addict? You know? I'm going to go and then be looking to score some on the street the next day. It's really a sad perception that some people might have due to the media or for whatever reason or they know somebody who misuse ketamine or the DARE program, like you said, or the 80s. A lot of baloney. Lesley Logan 30:28  Oh, and by the way, the DARE program was a lot of baloney. I just heard a whole podcast about it, and I was like, ah. So, but it, but it does put in people's minds, and also good for good reason. Like, I don't want people going out there doing other drugs we do know our addictive and like, hoping that they are fine out there the first time, but I am on this mission of helping people figure out how to get out of their own way and live their best life, and sometimes our own way are things that are really outside of our control, the PTSD, the depressions, the mental health, the suicide like I think it's important that people have access to forms of therapy out there that they may not know about or they may have misconceptions. Because we do know that the media does like to click bait things into headlines that get people to look at them, but don't actually give all the information. So I'm just so grateful that you were here to just really explain all this and the benefits of it.Sam Mandel 31:22  Absolutely, yeah, no, I appreciate the opportunity. Yeah, there are drugs that you can do once or twice and develop a real serious problem with pretty fast, methamphetamine, probably not one that you need to ever try. You know, if you're curious about trying drugs, I'd say take that one off the list. Heroin, probably not a good idea. Pretty easy to die, pretty easy to get addicted to that one, right? Opioids, crack, cocaine. These are some that maybe you don't need to, you don't need to check out, but maybe there's some others that if you really want to with the right mindset in the right context, if you're going to be safe or responsible, maybe you'd be okay with. And by the way, I'm not advocating for you to go do illicit drugs illegally either. But there are some that you can have, even in a controlled environment, such as ours, where you don't need to be afraid of them. I'll tell you what are the most dangerous, though, is the prescription legitimate drugs. As a matter of fact, prescriptions are more commonly abused than any of the other illicit drugs. You look at your stimulants like Adderall, your benzodiazepines, like Xanax, opioids, I mean, these are drugs that are a lot of people are really hooked on and that are killing a lot of people, especially the opioids, but because they're from big pharma, they're not all that bad. I mean, people are finally starting to scrutinize the opioids, but the others are still kind of under the radar, and they're really widely abused, but the focus is on the big, bad, illegal ones. Lesley Logan 32:39  I know of a client who's a social worker, and she used to work in a hospital, and we're talking about pain meds, and she's like Lesley, I watched a 14 year old kid come in super healthy, just had a broken arm. They had to have surgery, but within the three days they were there, they were extra tapping the pain meds. And she's like, we create addicts with these pharmaceutical drugs quickly, but we don't think of it like that, because they had a prescription written. And so it's important for us to educate ourselves, to be informed and to be able to advocate for ourselves or advocate for others when we have this information we can. So, thank you so much. I'm not gonna let you go. We actually are gonna take a brief break, and then we're gonna find out Be It Action Items from you. Lesley Logan 33:19  All right, Sam, where can people find you, follow you, connect with you. If they want to know more about ketamine therapies, if they want to come to your clinics, how can they connect with you best?Sam Mandel 33:28  Yeah, so ketamineclinics.com. That's K-E-T-A-M-I-N-E-C-L-I-N-I-C-S dot com. Lots of great information on there. People are more than welcome to call us, 310-270-0625. Consultations are free. We're always happy to chat see how we can help you. We do offer other treatments we really didn't talk about today, TMS, General Psychiatry, medication management, we take 12 of the biggest insurance networks in California, including Medicare, so there's a lot more that we can cover with you. Whether or not ketamine is the right fit if you are dealing with a mental health condition, I would encourage you to call and see if there's anything we can do to help. And we're on social it's ketamineclinicsLA on all socials and my personal is theSamMandel on all socials. And just really happy to connect with people and hear their stories, answer questions and help in any way that we can. Lesley Logan 34:23  I love it. Thank you. And that's also so cool, because we mentioned, like, it can be really hard to find a therapist these days because they don't always take insurance. So to hear that you do. It's really nice. Okay, we always ask people bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted steps they can take to be it till they see it. What do you have for us?Sam Mandel 34:41  Oh, I wasn't ready for that one. I would say action. Take action. Just do it. Take Nike slogan. I mean, honestly, planning and strategizing is important, and thinking things through and figuring out who you are. What you want, what you like, what you don't like, putting together a plan matters. But I think most of us, or almost all of us, spend too much time on that, and there's just too many unknowns and too many things that you really can't solve for until you're in it and doing it, and it's too easy to let perfectionism keep us from taking the steps that we need to take to get done what we want, become, who we want to be, and who what our potential is. And I personally struggle with this too. So I say that from, you know, my own experience, and I really strive, and I want to encourage other people to really strive, to just get out there and do it, and you're going to make mistakes, and that's okay, but it's really the only way to succeed in life. You have to be on the fields, on the court, in it, and behind the scenes, thinking, planning, strategizing is only going to get you so far.Lesley Logan 35:58  Yeah, yeah. Oh, thank you for that. And also, I can tell you, practice what you just preached, because it's true. You started with a utility closet and some folding chairs and a Motorola phone, I mean. But also, you're correct. People do spend too much time in the planning, or they're waiting for it to be perfect, or they're waiting for the perfect decoration, and then they have the perfect branding and all the things. And if you guys had done that, you wouldn't have been able to help the thousands of people that you have today. So thank you so much, Sam for being here, for educating us, for informing us. Lesley Logan 36:29  And, you guys, how are you gonna use these tips in your life? Please share this episode with a friend as you hear conversations come up about the misuse of ketamine, and now you know you could share this with them to educate them, and also, if you have friends and family or yourself who needs this, please contact Sam and his team, because there's help out there for you.

Today, Scott Schara gives an update on the wrongful death civil lawsuit (2023-CV-345) for his daughter, Grace.  Grace was 19 and had Down Syndrome.  She was medically murdered by medical staff at an Ascension Hospital.  The doctors ordered a medication combination that euthanized Grace - Precedex, Lorazepam, and Morphine; and put an illegal Do Not Resuscitate order on her chart. Scott is now releasing deposition transcripts and we discuss two clips today.  Scott also shares some of the highlights of his research into the medical-industrial complex.

Ci potrebbe essere una  significativa svolta nelle indagini per la morte di Giada Zanola, la 33enne bresciana gettata da un cavalcavia sull'autostrada A4 a Vigonza a fine maggio: l'esito degli esami tossicologici sul suo corpo, infatti, ha evidenziato la presenza di importanti quantitativi di Lorazepam, il comune psicofarmaco Tavor, mentre non ne è stata trovata traccia nei capelli di Andrea Favero, il suo compagno accusato dell'omicidio.

INTERVIEW and Live to Air: Lorazepam by Hansini Wijekoon on Radio One 91FM Dunedin

We sit down with Scott Schara, the father of Grace Schara, who died in a hospital with a condition she was fighting alongside with. On Oct. 13, 2021, at 7:27 pm, beautiful Grace Schara—an inquisitive young woman with Down-Syndrome—died a tragic and preventable death at a Wisconsin hospital. Rather than using treatments proven to combat COVID-19, Ascension's St. Elizabeth's Hospital followed the U.S. government's ineffective COVID-19 treatment protocols, for which they reap significant financial rewards. On the final day of Grace's life, as her doctor assured her parents she was doing well, Dr. Gavin Shokar also “unilaterally labeled Grace a DNR and ordered a lethal combination of IV sedatives and narcotics”—a fatal combination of the drugs Precedex, Lorazepam, and Morphine—which were administered over an incredibly short period of time. Notably, all three drugs are manufactured by mRNA “vaccine” maker and pharmaceutical giant Pfizer.Who Was Grace Schara?Grace Schara was full of love. Properly describing the magical impact Grace had on every life she touched—especially her mom, dad, and sister—would require more space than this. Her family and all those who knew and loved Grace were clearly blessed to have her in their lives for 19 years. Besides bringing an incredible amount of joy everywhere she went, Grace could read and write, drive a car, ride a horse, play the violin, and drive her riding lawnmower, and so much more. Truly, Grace loved absolutely everything about the life she was living. UncoverDC spoke at length with Scott Schara, Grace's father, about the tragic and immoral circumstances leading up to his daughter's death. Describing Grace, Scott recently wrote:“Grace was our bright, beautiful, fun-loving 19-year-old daughter with Down Syndrome. Her precious life was taken from us at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Appleton, Wisconsin, on Oct. 13, 2021. She was an angel who loved her Lord and Savior, Jesus. Everyone knew Grace. I was known only as ‘Grace's dad.' She had a sense of her Heavenly Father that very few people ever have. She called me her ‘Earthly dad.'

Hablamos de fármacos que tienen nombres similares, pero que sirven para cosas muy diferentes. Los oyentes nos cuentan qué errores cometieron, como confundir la loratadina con el Lorazepam y quedarse dormido en lugar de combatir la alergia.

Duccio Mallamaci, famoso, a quanto pare, neoborbonico, ci fa visita e offre le sue bislacche teorie sugli ebrei, nonché sui Rothschild. L'ex professore di matematica della campagna siciliana non demorde e lotta fortissimo per tenere le sue posizioni, lanciandosi in una alquanto strana, ma sicuramente apprezzata, difesa di Pol Pot. Non perdetevi questa prima parte di una discussione che rimarrà nella storia del podcast! La controcopertina è confezionata da Jacopo Troian, lisergico come al solito. Ci spiega le ingiustizie insite nell'essere un profeta del Signore, tra cui le varie visite in psichiatria e i conseguenti siringoni di Lorazepam. Emanuele Padova, da Gaza ci riporta le proteste del popolo palestinese. Seguito a ruota da Matteo Farina Denaro, che parlerà male del governo in carica. Bingo! Vi piace il Bingo? Ah che caso, piace molto anche a noi il Bingo! Bingo! Giocate responsabilmente, ma giocate solo a Bingo!!! Passata la marchetta ritorniamo al signor Padova, che cerca una quarantenne per passare gli ultimi suoi tristi anni di vita. Ma è possibile che questo podcast sia anche diventato un'agenzia per cuori solitari? Transeat. Infine ci fa visita la Vaiassa del Duce, felice del Gol del Milan ci manda a fanculo e fa da cornice a questo delirante episodio.

Compassionate Pain Relief in End-of-Life Care: Understanding Management and Medication When the shadows of life grow long and the light at the end of the tunnel becomes clear, pain management becomes a paramount concern for both patients and caregivers. In our latest heartfelt episode, we venture into the delicate realm of ensuring comfort for those on their sacred final journey. Addressing the elephant in the room, we dispel common myths surrounding pain medication at the end of life, reassuring you that these treatments are there to soothe, not to hasten the inevitable. We take a closer look at the different types of pain, and how a meticulous approach to pain management can transform a patient's end-of-life experience into one of peace and dignity. Imagine witnessing a loved one's serene transition, free from the clutches of discomfort and pain. Our discussion brings to light a case where a patient's shingles-induced nerve pain was managed effectively through precise medication logs and timely intervention, exemplifying the profound impact of proactive pain relief strategies. The collaboration between caregivers and hospice nurses is nothing short of inspiring, highlighting the importance of a detailed logbook and the foresight to administer relief before pain escalates. Together, we explore the art of pain management that allows for cherished final moments with family and friends. As we conclude this episode, we not only share the essentials of a hospice comfort kit but also extend an invitation to our upcoming free training webinars.

Folge 152: Thyreostatika, Lorazepam und Nichtverfügbarkeit

Background information: Alcohol has potentiating effects on the inhibitory GABA neurotransmission system and inhibitory effects on the excitatory glutamate neurotransmission system. Chronic alcohol use causes changes to preserve homeostasis, and when the stimulus is removed, alcohol withdrawal results due to decreased inhibition via the GABA system and increased excitation via the glutamate system.

A Woodstock man was arrested Thursday on charges that he forged a doctor's signature to obtain over-the-counter drugs, according to the Cherokee County Marshal's Office. Bryan Chirangu, 33, has been charged 21 felony counts: nine counts of identity theft fraud, six counts of first degree forgery, two counts for possession of a schedule IV-controlled substance and four counts for possession of a schedule II-controlled substance, according to his arrest warrant filed November 8 by the Cherokee County Marshal's Office. Chirangu is accused of using the identity of a doctor without authorization to create fraudulent prescriptions on multiple occasions over about three months, according to his arrest warrant: between July 11 and July 12 to obtain Lorazepam, also known as Ativan; between on September 9 and 11 to obtain Alprazolam, also known as Xanax; and on September 1 and on September 13 to obtain Alprazolam, also known as Adderall. The warrant says the alleged fraudulent prescriptions were filled at the Walmart pharmacies on Holly Springs Parkway and Bells Ferry Road. Human remains were found near the Etowah River in Canton Thursday, Canton Police Department announced. Officers responded at about 10:19 a.m. Thursday to Reformation Parkway, near the Waleska Street underpass in response to a 911 call due to human remains being located in the area, the police department reported. The remains will be turned over to the GBI crime lab to be examined. This incident is actively under investigation. According to police, additional information will be made available as the investigation progresses and the remains are positively identified. Anyone with information to is asked to contact the Canton Police Department. The Living Bridge Center South in Canton is offering free HIV testing in observance of World AIDS Day December 1.

The program recently received approval from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. This continuous five-semester program is 100% online, with the first cohort beginning in the fall of 2023. The MSN in Nursing Education prepares students for careers at colleges, universities, vocational-technical schools and hospital educational departments. Upon graduation, students are eligible to sit for the Certified Nurse Educator, Novice Nurse Educator and Academic Clinical Nurse Educator exams. The curriculum also supports the foundational knowledge needed to pursue a terminal nursing degree. Applicants for Reinhardt's MSN program must have completed a bachelor of science in nursing from an Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing or Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education accredited and state-approved nursing program. Applicants must also hold a current unencumbered Georgia or compact state registered nurse license at the time of the application deadline.   Reinhardt running back Devyn Collins was named the Appalachian Athletic Conference's Offensive Player of the Week following the Eagles' 40-0 win over Union to close the regular season. Collins ran for 214 yards and four touchdowns in the dominant win that helped Reinhardt (8-1, 5-0) earn the AAC's automatic bid to the NAIA playoffs. He averaged 9.7 yards per carry to secure his second weekly award of the season. As the AAC's leading rusher this season, the junior from Rome averaged 106.8 yards per game, along with a conference-best 17 touchdowns. Collins finished the Eagles' regular season on a high note, accounting for the first four scores against Union. He opened the floodgates with a 25-yard run on the Eagles' second drive of the game and followed with a 19-yard run with two minutes left in the first quarter. Collins' most explosive play came in the third quarter, a 61-yard touchdown run. Reinhardt will open the NAIA tournament on the road today, facing former Mid-South Conference rival Lindsey Wilson.   On Thanksgiving Day, thousands of meals will be sent out for delivery or picked up to be enjoyed by families in Cherokee and Pickens counties who otherwise wouldn't have a meal for the holiday. Cherokee Thanksgiving is in its 30th year feeding local families this year, said Cheryl Mosley, the coordinator of the event. What began with a small group at Canton First United Methodist Church has grown to a nonprofit organization with over 200 volunteers. The group expects to serve about 2,400 meals this year, Mosley said. The meals are for anyone — those who cannot make or buy their own meals, and first responders like police and firefighters who have to work on Thanksgiving. People can have their meals delivered or they can order a meal to pick up and take home. This year's event was planned to be organized from Williamson Bros. Bar-B-Q in Canton, which has helped provide food in the past, but plans had to change quickly after a fire shut down the restaurant earlier this month. The couple connected the nonprofit with another local restaurant, La Catrina Tacos and Margaritas in Canton, where staff are now also helping prepare food to continue the tradition. This year's Cherokee Thanksgiving meal is chicken, rice, green beans, dressing and gravy, a roll and a sugar cookie.   #CherokeeCounty #Georgia #LocalNews           -          -          -          -          -          -          The Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast is local news for Woodstock, Canton, and all of Cherokee County. Register Here for your essential digital news.             This podcast was produced and published for the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger and TribuneLedgerNews.com by BG Ad Group     For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com/    https://cuofga.org/   https://www.drakerealty.com/   https://www.esogrepair.com/                   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The stories continue from my time on the psych ward, this time focusing on my current and very real problem of withdrawals. It is hard enough when your brain wants to play tricks on you but even more challenging when medications used in the past are actually found to be part of the problem. And it isn't as simple as just stopping dosages, oh no!

On this podcast episode, I discuss lorazepam (Ativan) pharmacology, adverse effects, and common drug interactions. Lorazepam has numerous dosage forms and the IV formulation does contain propylene glycol which can accumulate if it is used for longer periods of time. There is a boxed warning for lorazepam when it is used with opioids. The risk for opioid overdose, coma, and death increases significantly. Lorazepam is an intermediate acting benzodiazpine. It's half-life for most adult patients is in the 12-18 hour range.

On Oct. 13, 2021, at 7:27 pm, beautiful Grace Schara—an inquisitive young woman with Down-Syndrome—died a tragic and preventable death at a Wisconsin hospital. Rather than using treatments proven to combat COVID-19, Ascension's St. Elizabeth's Hospital followed the U.S. government's ineffective COVID-19 treatment protocols, for which they reap significant financial rewards. On the final day of Grace's life, as her doctor assured her parents she was doing well, Dr. Gavin Shokar also “unilaterally labeled Grace a DNR and ordered a lethal combination of IV sedatives and narcotics”—a fatal combination of the drugs Precedex, Lorazepam, and Morphine—which were administered over an incredibly short period of time. Notably, all three drugs are manufactured by mRNA “vaccine” maker and pharmaceutical giant Pfizer.Who Was Grace Schara?Grace Schara was full of love. Properly describing the magical impact Grace had on every life she touched—especially her mom, dad, and sister—would require more space than this. Her family and all those who knew and loved Grace were clearly blessed to have her in their lives for 19 years. Besides bringing an incredible amount of joy everywhere she went, Grace could read and write, drive a car, ride a horse, play the violin, and drive her riding lawnmower, and so much more. Truly, Grace loved absolutely everything about the life she was living. UncoverDC spoke at length with Scott Schara, Grace's father, about the tragic and immoral circumstances leading up to his daughter's death. Describing Grace, Scott recently wrote:“Grace was our bright, beautiful, fun-loving 19-year-old daughter with Down Syndrome. Her precious life was taken from us at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Appleton, Wisconsin, on Oct. 13, 2021. She was an angel who loved her Lord and Savior, Jesus. Everyone knew Grace. I was known only as ‘Grace's dad.' She had a sense of her Heavenly Father that very few people ever have. She called me her ‘Earthly dad.' Who does that?”Note:Per Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet, President and CEO of Truth for Health Foundation, (Published in Wisconsin Christian News, Volume 22 No 7) The COVID Protocol hospital physicians must follow, in lockstep across the U.S., appears to be the implementation of the 2009-2010 “Complete Lives System” developed by Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel for rationing medical care for people older than 50. Dr. “Zeke” Emanuel, who was the senior White House health policy adviser to President Obama and has been advising President Joe Biden about COVID-19, stated in his classic 2009 Lancet paper: “When implemented, the Complete Lives System produces a priority curve on which individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years get the most substantial chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get chances that are attenuated.” “Attenuated” means rationed, restricted, or denied medical care that commonly leads to premature death. In 2021, whistleblower doctors, nurses, attorneys, patient advocates and journalists have exposed egregious hospital abuses, neglect of patients, and denial of vital intravenous fluids and basic medicines to hospitalized COVID patients across the U.S. The Complete Lives Protocol apparently derives from the 1990s U.K. National Health Service “Liverpool Pathway,” which in effect constituted euthanasia.Scott Schara can be contacted at https://www.ouramazinggrace.net/home

Scott is the father of Grace Schara who died at the hands of “hospital protocol” October 13th, 2021 after being admitted on October 6th for COVID-19 treatment. Grace's death occurred after she was given a lethal combination dosage of Precedex, Lorazepam, and Morphine within a period of 30 minutes by the attending medical team. Find out more about Grace at https://www.ouramazinggrace.net www.libertymonks.com Facebook page Follow us on: Twitter and Gettr See Select Videos on: YouTube Rumble Brighteon Listen on iTunes, Spotify and Anchor Show Notes: Despite having NO prior authorization from her medical power of attorney, Grace was labeled DNR by the attending physician, in violation of Wisconsin State Statute 154. Hospital staff put Grace in restraints simply because she wanted to get up to use the restroom, a disability rights violation. Medical advocate/parent was removed by an armed guard from the hospital room in direct violation of guidelines from the US Department of Health and Human Services to support and protect people with disabilities during the pandemic. No one has satisfactorily explained why that particular cocktail of medicines was used. It is especially odd considering the family was told she had a good day the day before, prompting the doctor to recommend a feeding tube be placed on the morning of the day Grace later died. “It is so important that EVERYONE knows Grace's story,” said Grace's dad Scott Schara. “Grace, nor any other disabled person, should have to endure what she did. No family should have to live through this, either.” “Grace was a beautiful, inquisitive young woman who loved Elvis, geography, dancing, fishing, horse riding, and playing the violin, among many other interests. She loved the Lord. The sky was truly the limit with Grace, and we were blessed to have her in our lives for 19 years. We don't want her death to be in vain.” said Schara.

The Dragon is Cast Down (3) (Audio) David Eells - 4/17/22   The Origins of Evil Claire Pienaar - 4/12/22 (David's notes in red)   After Riaan and I watched “Watch the Water" from Stew Peters, we hit the floor and prayed and interceded for those family members who have been duped by the Beast System. Then I asked the Lord if this documentary interview with Dr Ardis was true, and received by faith at random, Psa 92:15  To show that Jehovah is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. I closed my eyes and had a vision. I saw a big needle, and the scene zoomed out and looked like it was being re-wound, like movies that you rewind.    The needle became a big black snake, then the snake became a large dragon or serpent with legs and wings. It stood up on its back legs and flapped its wings, it had horns and and a forked red tongue. It was aggressive and angry. (Representing the dragon/serpent of Revelations 12 who tries to destroy the Man-child and Woman and failing at that goes to make war on the rest of her seed.)   Then I started praying in the Spirit and I saw a white sword come and attack this serpent or dragon from behind me. (This represents the Word which we've heard from the beginning. Isa. 30:21 and thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it; when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.) It was a shiny metal and it pierced the dragon or serpent where its heart should have been but there was no heart, just a black hole.    Then I remembered the Word of the Lord concerning the serpent in Gen 3:15 and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed (Jesus): he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.   I thought, "Why pierce the place where the heart is supposed to be?" And the thought came to me, "Maybe to show me what complete darkness looks like?"    The vision ended and I fell asleep. When I awoke, I thought "Why wasn't the head crushed?” (Rev 12:9  And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. The Dragon, the old serpents, head, Satan, was bruised by the seed of the Woman, Jesus, when He bound the strong man and told His seed to plunder him. The heel of Jesus is the end time body of Jesus who the serpent/Dragon will bruise by putting to death their flesh. Man-child, Woman and the Dragon  Rev. 12:1-12  And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars; 2 and she was with child; and she crieth out, travailing in birth, and in pain to be delivered. 3 And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems. 4 And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child. 5 And she was delivered of a son, a man child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne.  The Man-child Reformers are Coming to Help: I had a vision early this Good Friday morning, 4-15-22. I saw two beautiful birds, one a grown up and another a baby. They were dressed in the same way with a blue (representing heavenly) coat and white (representing sanctified) breast.  The Baby was nesseled underneath the right wing of his mother. Then I saw the baby take flight and very shortly landed by another bird dressed the same way.  It then nesseled beneath the right wing of that bird.    (I saw no egg, the baby had already been born and was able to fly. I knew immediately that this baby was the Man-child leaving its mothers care and caught up to the throne authority of the Father and under the shadow of His wings. Today is Passover, the crucifixion of the Lamb, Jesus, in the Man-child Body. On the third day, the 17th, was resurrection day or catching up to the throne day. 17 is the number of preservation through an evil time when the crucifiers do their work. 17 is the chosen number of “Q” also.    Possibly a parallel is being shown between the Man-child body and Trump. Daniel was promoted over the Kingdom as Cyrus Conquered Babylon on the same night.  Operation Disclosure: Thurs. 14 April Charlie Ward: GESARA/NESARA is happening this weekend. [It was working on the 1st but they said they would announce it to the public around Easter. BTW, Easter is the pagan name for the goddess Ishtar used in the KJV in Acts 12:4, but it is translated from the Greek Pascha, [Hebrew Pesach] meaning passover. Ishtar was the pagan goddess that fell down out of heaven into the Euprates river in an egg.)   Considering my revelation of the Father and Mother of the Man-child I then I read to them Operation Disclosure's revelation of this day. “An hour before Sunrise Fri. morning 15 April the Planets Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Saturn will be lined up in the Southeast Sky. (So we have the heavenly bodies of the Jupiter the King Planet, representing the Father, Venus, representing the mother planet, and then Mars, representing the war planet, and Saturn, representing the Devil planet. After the Father and Mother bring forth the Man-child and his throne authority war begins in the heavens and the devil as the dragon of Babylon is being cast down.)   Then I read the first verse text sent in for this morning:   Deb  (Mat.21:5) Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, Meek, and riding upon an ass, And upon a colt the foal of an ass...(9) And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. (Hosanna means, “Oh Save, Heal, Deliver, oh Lord.) Back to our Rev. 12 text: 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days. The War in Heaven 7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going forth to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels; 8 And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. 10 And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night. 11 And they (The Saints) overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death. 12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time. (Not only are the Saints given authority to cast down Satan and his demons from the second heaven to earth but when they return with the Lord they have a hand in casting him below the earth.) The Dragon Persecutes the Woman 13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman that brought forth the man child. 14 And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream. (As we will see, this could be representative of the “Watch the Water” Documentary where the venom of the serpent is found in the vaccines and is being distributed through the water supply in order to change the DNA. This could represent the seed of the serpent which would certainly be carrying the Woman away from the seed of Adam and Christ.) 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus: The Seed of The Serpent Covid Snake Venom Documentation: Interview Transcript of Dr. Ardis and Stew Peters By: holistic health online - 4/14/22  “Watch The Water” Documentary FULL   Dr. Brian Ardis: It's an honor to be here. I just want to say thank you, everyone, who's put any faith and trust in me to be able to convey truth… I have to get this off my chest. My spirit is screaming to say something and bring it to the forefront to protect as many innocent lives as possible. That's all I've been trying to do since May of 2020.   As you know, I read Anthony Fauci's memo on Remdesivir and when I actually clicked the links to the studies that he was quoting, saying that Remdesivir was safe and effective, I knew right away that he was lying. I knew right away that this drug was going to be used to mass murder a whole bunch of innocent people in America that did not need to die. Then he was going to sell the world on the idea in the media that they were dying of a virus, when in fact I knew they were being poisoned to death with this drug. I knew 30% of all people were going to experience multiple organ failure, kidney failure, septic shock and hypertension. That's what the study said.   Now, we're a year and a half after that, and it's exactly the numbers that I said based on those studies. I'm pretty much called "the Remdesivir guy" everywhere I go, which is odd for a retired chiropractor to be referenced as a pharmaceutical guy. But it is true Remdesivir is a very toxic, deadly drug. There are a lot of medical doctors and professionals who will mention that, and it's proven to be ineffective. It is not just ineffective; it is very toxic and deadly. It is known and proven to actually injure specific organs in your body.   It targets specific organs. This is a part of why I think my spirit is so moved to make sure this gets out. On January 21st of this year 2022 – so just two months ago – the FDA decided to authorize Remdesivir as the only drug to be authorized to be used in all newborns in this country. I can't even fathom the men or women in charge would actually do that. Since January 21st of 2022, it's the only drug to be used, only one allowed in hospitals for this entire pandemic. Now they're moving it into hospital care for children as young as newborns, 7 lbs. through the 18 year pediatric age range. It's the only authorized drug. There is nothing else that they're allowing for COVID 19 treatment. And I find that incredibly evil.   And then they've also now canceled monoclonal antibody uses throughout the United States and all US territories for COVID 19 early treatment. And they're moving remdesivir to the infusion centers where they were using monoclonal antibodies as the only IV infusion drug allowed. I have been moved with one singular purpose since May of 2020. When I read Anthony Fauci's memo about Remdesivir, I felt this spark inside of me that I now had to go voice to the world, a warning to try to protect as many innocent lives as possible from being killed. So let's talk about what happened.   It all started with a text. There's a medical doctor that I admire and love because he is nonstop from the beginning of COVID and has had the ability to project information and say to people around the world, you do not have to fear COVID. We have an answer. This guy has been on many stages with me. He still practices right now medicine and is an ER doc and he sent me a text. It actually was dated December 1st and I did not see it until like December 18th. I don't know how I didn't see it, but the text read, "Hey Dr. Ardis, if you got bit by a rattlesnake, would you go to a hospital and get anti venom?"   I realized he must have seen an interview I did on Infowars. So Kate Dailey had done an interview with me and wanted to go over my thoughts of monoclonal antibodies. Well, I had been given some research studies that actually bothered me. I didn't like the idea based on the data in these research studies. I didn't think monoclonal antibodies were safe. Long term, not short term, but long term. Now, I read the actual text message, got in the shower, and while I was in the shower, I was sitting there thinking, why would he send me that text? It has nothing to do with COVID. So I'm going through this and I'm thinking about the text and all my brain keeps going to is why is he mentioning anti venom.   Is there something about antivenom? So I went and got on the Internet and I wanted to know what is Antivenom. Only to find out that most antivenoms are monoclonal antibodies or polyclonal antibodies. And then I got it. Then I knew why he sent it to me. He wanted me to immediately see a question that he knew I would say, of course I'm going to go to the hospital and get anti venom. So in his mind, I think he knew this was a way or God inspired him to send me this message. Then go figure out why it is you would say yes. This is where it all started.   I will repeat what Steve Kirsch said to an audience with me last month. He said, "If the CDC says something to do, you do the opposite. If the NIH says to do something, or the FDA, do the opposite." I'm sitting there realizing that anti venom is monoclonal antibodies, and then I immediately revert back to, in my own head, that I'm not trusting anything the CDC and or FDA says. Is our federal health agencies recommending monoclonal antibodies for COVID 19? No, they're not. They've been badmouthing monoclonal antibodies this whole time.   They stripped them out of Florida when De Santis wanted to use them. And then January 21st of this year, they totally stripped out monoclonal antibodies. They do not want you touching monoclonal antibodies. They also didn't want you, from the beginning, to touch hydroxychloroquine. They also don't want you touching ivermectin. They also don't want you touching N acetyl cysteine (NAC) so that the things they tell you to avoid we know they're telling you to avoid because they work. So, I realized that the federal health agencies were actually not supporting monoclonal antibodies, and we believe that this is because they intentionally don't want people to recover.   ...I cannot believe the amount of evil behind this pandemic with what I've realized since then. I realized, all of a sudden, that monoclonal antibodies are anti venom. The federal government doesn't want us using anti venom. Why are they bashing anti venom and why are we finding that anti venom works against COVID? Is it not a virus? Is it instead a venom? This is what I want to know. Is COVID a venom? Is this why they don't want you using monoclonal antibodies.   Let me ask you a question. Do you believe the mass media is controlled? Of course, you actually do believe that. So you believe that whatever's being pumped out in the media is being orchestrated and controlled, across all of it.   All right. So in my head, I was like, okay, how do they keep people on that story? So there's this mass media group who are telling a huge story. They're all telling the same story around the world. Whenever anybody says anything against that narrative, what do they use now to combat that in the mainstream media?   Stew Peters: Disinformation?   Dr Brian Ardis: Yeah, they call them fact checkers. Fact checking is the opposite of fact checking. The arbiters of lies are the fact checkers.   By definition, fact checkers are there to divert you from truth and take you back to a narrative that is being sold worldwide, right? If it's true that COVID could actually be snake venom, (And how I came to that conclusion was they don't support the use of anti venom called monoclonal antibodies because they work.) The easiest way to figure that out is, has that ever been fact checked? I wanted to know was there ever any mention that the source could have been a snake? And oh, my God, I couldn't believe it. Over and over and over in the media in January and February of 2020 there are non-stop publications that the original source could either be from bats, snakes or pangolins. And every time the snake is mentioned, fact checkers – One, two, three, four, five, six, constantly fact check it and spin it back to the bats. There's no fact checking about bats. They keep you looking at bats.   In the beginning, in January of 2020, the scientists inside of China said this can't be from bats. These bats hibernate. And it's the winter. When they did genetic sequences from the antibodies in the people who were sick in Wuhan, they found that their genetic sequence was not most like bats. They were most like two snakes. Proteins from the Chinese Krait and the King Cobra. Then I find in April of 2020 there was a research study published in France where they're finding that the receptors in the brain called nicotinic acetyl-choline-sterase receptors are actually bound most tightly to snake venom of the krait and cobra is what they're finding, and that the spike protein from SARS-CoV-2 is most identical to Chinese krait and king cobra venom.   Then I find out that there's an actual doctor, Bing Liu, who works at the University of Pittsburgh in May of 2020. He works in a computational lab dealing with genetic sequencing and he's been researching for five months; the sequencing of spike proteins, trying to solve the mystery of SARS-CoV-2 victims. He says he's got a "big thing", too; A big press release. They're going to actually announce all their findings.    HEADLINE: Set back in the quest to understand coronavirus after a researcher is shot and killed. 37 year old Bing Liu was on the verge of making significant findings on COVID 19.   And that's when I freaked out. Also, all of the clips in the media when they interviewed his boss, who is still at the University of Pittsburgh, he said that they were going to publish the work they found through Bing Liu's work in their department. That's never been published. I'd like to know why a year and a half later, it's never been published. Where is it?   And then, all of a sudden, the realization came to me that this is the "great lie." When I say that they have lied to you about everything in relationship to COVID, they've even lied about the viral part of COVID. Now you have to understand here, my entire stance for the last year and a half has been to educate, warn people about hospital protocols because of a drug called Remdesivir. So in this realization that this could all be related to venom, something bothered me in the January 21st issue that came out from the FDA about Remdesivir in this 42 page document. It actually says there's only one drug that cannot be co administered with Remdesivir at the same time because it negates the antiviral properties of Remdesivir. And that drug is hydroxychloroquine.   In January 2020, there's this incredible study that's published where over a ten year period a company has been funding a research study gene-mapping all the genes of the venoms and proteins and peptides inside of King Cobra venom. And in January 2020, they published their findings. Oh, ask me if I was shocked when I saw that there were 19 toxic venom proteins that they isolated that specifically target organs in your body.   So I go to the funding part of this study. And I want to know who funded this and how many companies. It says that the majority of the company and studie's funding came from a company called Genentech. Genentech is a subsidiary of a company called Roche. I don't know anything about these companies. I never heard of them. The employees of Genentech, who were the authors of the study, said they have a conflict of interest because they actually hold shares and stocks in Roche. Genentech, I've never heard of Genentech. Is there a correlation between Genentech and Gilead? This is not a joke. I typed it on Internet. Is there a connection to Genentech and Gilead? Oh, my God. Gilead had bought two facilities that deal with biological studies from Genentech in 2011 and then brought 55 of their executives into Gilead in 2011 just when that King Cobra study started. Gilead is the manufacturer of Remdesivir.   Guess what's been known since 2005. Guess what blocks the nicotine receptors in the brain stem from being injured by cobra venom and viper venom. Guess what drug does that? Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine.   Remdesivir, packaged and stored as it is delivered to hospitals, comes in a little glass vial. It's called Lyophilized powder. It actually has a white yellowish tint. Guess what color snake venom has when it's stored; then to be diluted in sodium chloride or distilled water to be administered in an IV. Also, If people are buying King Cobra Venom Lyophilized (powdered form), they mix it in the same preparation as listed on the fact sheet for Remdesivir to actually take cobra venom or any other viper venom and inject it into horses to make monoclonal antibodies.   When you read the emergency use authorization for Remdesivir, it states this from January 21st, that every practitioner who administers this to a COVID patient, pediatric or not, you have to evaluate for what's called prothrombin time. Prothrombin time means if it increases the trauma time, it means it's taking your blood's ability to coagulate and making it longer so it thins your blood. You can't clot, right? You will internally bleed to death with Remdesivir. It is stated on the emergency use authorization. Every patient has to have their prothrombin time checked before you give them Remdesivir and during treatment.    Do you know what King Cobra venom does to the blood? It makes it so that I can't clot. You know, one of the evidences is it's prothrombin time. And if you look at the CDC website and the NIH website on the adverse events from Remdesivir, it actually says it increases prothrombin time, which is exactly what King Cobra venom does to the human body. And Remdesivir is the lyophilized peptide proteins of King Cobra venom.   The University of Arizona published a paper last summer where they actually evaluated the blood samples and tissues of hundreds of people who died, from two different hospitals after being treated for COVID, which means they got Remdesivir. Why do some people who are seemingly perfectly healthy die from COVID and others don't? It's a question baffling experts during this pandemic.   NEWS REPORT: A new research from the University of Arizona suggests we're closer to getting an answer. It seems to boil down to an enzyme that's also found in rattlesnake venom. What does this rattlesnake have to do with COVID 19 deaths?   We turned much of my research in my lab towards COVID a year and a half ago. Chilton says he got blood samples from more than 100 patients in a New York ICU. They either had no COVID, or  a mild, moderate or severe case of the virus. He did some fancy  artificial intelligence in his lab and discovered two distinct patterns in the people who were dying from COVID.   Dr. Brian Ardis: These patterns, number one, told us that the vital organs were in trouble, but the other looked as if they were being attacked by some enzyme.   He says he then found the highest concentration of this enzyme that has ever been found in humans. These levels, attacking internal organs means multiple organ failure and death.   So where do the rattlesnakes come into play? This enzyme is a humanized version, part of the same family as the active ingredient in snake venom. In simple terms, this enzyme related to rattlesnake venom that's been found in humans is likely causing tremendous damage, leading to COVID 19 deaths.   And then they take you through all of the elevated enzymes in the blood samples of these people that are naturally found in rattlesnake venom and viper venom that are in levels they've never seen before. Do you wonder how they got there? 5 to 10 days of Remdesivir. They've known since 2005 if you inject a mouse with cobra venom, like they're doing with Remdesivir, injecting into your veins, it actually causes a cytokine storm in the lungs of all animals. I am convinced that COVID 19 is not a respiratory virus of any kind. It is actually venom poisoning. And they're using, I believe, synthesized peptides and proteins from venoms of snakes, and they're administering them and targeting them to certain people.   Now, the amazing thing about these 19 toxins found in cobra venom, they're specifically sequenced to target specific organs, like the pancreas in a diabetic, like the heart in a heart disease patient, like the liver in a hepatitis patient.   So if I die because I'm a cancer patient, or if I die from some sort of liver related function because I've had liver problems, if I die, then it'll be undetectable. It'll be untraceable. They're going to chalk it up, of course, to whatever underlying disease the person was suffering from.   This is the most original of all bioweapons ever. Snake venom. I mean, we know how poisonous snakes are. This is the most obvious bioweapon ever. When I say this is the most evil thing I've ever encountered in my entire life. Could you ever have imagined the one greatest symbol of evil in all of Christendom. What is the symbol of evil in Christianity? The serpent. The serpent! Can you think of anything more evil than envenomating the entire world with snake venom and then injecting snake venom into your veins. And then using mRNA technology that they've been isolating from snake venom for years that they know are unusually stable, more stable than any other mRNA they've isolated from other natural organisms for decades.   In 2015, they took mRNA from cobra venom, krait venom, and they actually wrapped the mRNA in nanoparticle hydrogel. How often have you heard about that with these new mRNA vaccines? And they made it even more stable. Then they actually added what's called dynabeads to those nanoparticles surrounding the mRNA of snake venom. And it made it even more stable and made it last longer. It made it easier to get inside of your cells. Do you know what dynabeads are? Magnetic metal nanoparticles.   CLIP FROM BLACKLIST: The movie actor says, "Your prayers have been answered, Donald. Apparently I'm dying. I've been poisoned by someone within my organization. Someone with access to an offshore account that was used to fund recent attacks against me. 11 people had access to that account. Last evening, I called those 11 to a dinner to confront them. What happened next? I only remember pieces. The restaurant. What it looked like. Where it was. I remember holding a glass of wine, not drinking it. Although I'm sure I must have. I need you to find the pharmaco-toxicologist who I believe crafted the deadly cocktail and get the antidote from him.   He's known as The Apothecary, a druggist whose potions hijack the immune system, causing any number of allergic reactions. Each one impossible to identify unless you know what you're looking for. An exotic venom might replicate a drug overdose. A personally tailored allergic reaction might trigger cardiovascular collapse.   The apothecary can create embolisms, aneurysms, inhibit respiration, induce paralysis. We're looking for cortico-steroids. Broncho-dilator. Go, go, go.   I've lived my entire adult life surrounded by the corona of death. Sometimes I even longed for it. But lately I find I'm not willing to go gentle into that good night.   There's good news. The lab did find one distinct element in the molecular structure of the drops taken from Robert Ball's apartment. A peptide unique to the venom of the red-headed Krait."   Dr. Brian Ardis: When I saw this movie clip, I knew. I knew I was right. I knew I was supposed to see that because it was confirmation to me that other people knew this was planned all along, which we've known this is a plan. [In the movie] the FBI figures out that it's actually peptides found in krait venom that poisoned Reddington. In the show, you learn that he was poisoned by drinking. It was put in his drink. And then I realized something. I realized how they've been spreading this.   I had actually told my wife six months prior to this that it's very odd when you go on the CDC website that they have this wastewater surveillance tab on the COVID data tracker site. And they have 400 water testing sites in 37 cities in this country. What no one knows is the data from the CDC between January of 2020 and September of 2020 in relationship to their water testing of these 37 cities. They only let people know they were doing it in September of 2020 and now releasing that data. They now just announced two weeks ago, Walensky did, of the CDC, that they're now upping their water testing, they say, and have been reporting to media outlets that how it works is they are PCR testing our wastewater because we, as we get COVID 19, are pooping it in the water and we're going to test our wastewater. And we can tell the city when there's high amounts of SARS-CoV-2 in the water, they can actually tell that same community four or five days later is going to be an outbreak of COVID 19 in that city.   Stew Peters: Wait a minute. That's backwards.   Dr. Brian Ardis: That is completely backwards. If a community has had SARS-CoV-2 go through their body, they already had their symptoms when they eliminated the virus, supposedly the virus is out of their body and it ends up in your wastewater, you no longer have symptoms. How could you know and then be able to confirm in the future 4 to 5 days from now when we find it in your wastewater supply from your city. When we see it being shed in your water 4 to 5 days later, we can actually tell you there's going to be an outbreak in your city? It's not because there's an outbreak in the city, just like in the show Black List. I had to break this down for every aspect of COVID.   One thing that's been very unique to COVID is this sense of loss of taste and smell that lasts for months, even years. Holy cow. I had no idea they already knew this happened to people when you drink it. For the people who are the natural healers or the individuals who've got bitten when they actually suck the venom of cobra into their mouth and then spit it out, they have this loss of taste and smell that can last 12 months to a year and a half. It's just from having been exposed in the mouth, which is exactly what's happening when it's being put into our water.   Now, the thing about the water is this: they are using the water systems because they can target specific demographics. They are absolutely confident that the peptides they have chosen for COVID, circulated throughout the Earth and throughout the populace, and the vaccines and the mRNA in the vaccines specifically target organs like your spleen and your pancreas. For diabetics, that's a concern. Brain tissue, liver tissue, lung tissue and heart tissue. So if you already have a disease process of inflammation of any of those organs, you are the ones that they are targeting.   Stew Peters: So are the people that work at my water treatment facility are aware of this? Are they in on it.   Dr. Brian Ardis: No, no, the CDC is in on it. And the CDC is working with contracting companies to make sure they do it.   There are nicotine receptors in your brainstem that control your diaphragm. Your diaphragm has to contract to be able to allow oxygen to get into your lungs. They are using krait venom and cobra venom and calling it COVID 19. You're drinking it. It's getting it into your brainstem and it's paralyzing your diaphragm's ability to breathe. I cannot say this enough.   In the very beginning of COVID, it was being reported around the world that the least demographic represented in hospitals being hospitalized for COVID 19 were smokers. Around the world, it was less than 5% of everybody in hospitals were actually smokers. And they found that odd, only because this was a respiratory virus. Wouldn't it be that the people who are shoving tobacco and nicotine in their lungs would be more apt to be traumatized by a novel respiratory virus? But that's not what they saw.   What was amazing is when this started getting reported in the first six months of COVID in 2020 around the world, guess what our federal government did? Anthony Fauci, the NIH, CDC and the FDA all came out and started pumping in the media that there's no better time than right now to quit smoking. And they actually lied to you and they lied to the entire world and said smokers are being hospitalized at rates higher than any other demographic. Well, the truth is, these nicotine receptors that are affected by cobra venom and krait venom that control your ability to breathe, was causing your oxygen levels to fall. On a pulse oximeter it looks like you have pneumonia. But you didn't. You were being paralyzed. Actually, you couldn't breathe and your heart rhythm was actually being dropped by the same receptors.   Nicotine binds to those receptors and then the venom can't bind, so it can't paralyze your diaphragm. They knew and we're theorizing in France in April of 2020 when they figured out that it was the nicotine receptors that control the diaphragm's ability to breathe was what the spike protein was targeting, because it most looked like the neurotoxin of krait and cobra venom. They started theorizing that studies needed to be done, that we start giving people nicotine to protect them from getting COVID.   It absolutely is known that nicotine is protective against COVID 19 because it stops these venoms from damaging and connecting to these nicotine receptors in your brain that control your diaphragms ability to breathe. But once you go into a hospital because you can't breathe, if you're not a smoker and you don't do the nicotine they put you on Remdesivir. Remdesivir is venom from a cobra. It's attaching itself to the nicotine receptors in your brain. You then can't breathe and then at the same time, it destroys the inside of your of your lungs through what's called a cytokine storm. That is what cobra venom does.   And then they say they've got to put you on a ventilator. They're putting you on ventilators because then they can actually murder you by euthanizing you with drugs that act similarly to the venom. They have to sedate you because when they go to shove a tube down your trachea to get into your lungs, you'll pull it out. You'll pull it out, or you'll fight them as they're trying to shove it in there. So they have to sedate you. So they use morphine, fentanyl,  Lorazepam or midazolam. These drugs act on the same centers of your brain that control the diaphragm's breathing. These drugs are euthanizing drugs, and they actually will put you on these protocols at the same time they have you on Remdesivir. The entire attempt is to slow down your breathing and your diaphragm and you will die. They've got the cocktail down pat.   The average person dies on day nine of COVID 19, hospitalized treatment. They only authorize, per the NIH, two five day treatments of Remdesivir. It's amazing that the ninth day is the day that most people die in February of 2020. The Wall Street Journal was allowed to produce an article, and they particularly speak to the word “virus” in coronavirus pandemic. And in this article it actually states that the Latin definition for virus, originally and historically, virus means venom.   So I started to wonder, well, what about the name Corona? Does it have a Latin definition or a definition at all? So I actually looked up what's the definition on Dictionary.com and it brings up 13 definitions. Corona religiously, ecclesiastically means gold ribbon at the base of a miter. I didn't know what a miter was, so I copied it and pasted it and then hit images. So this actually could read the pope's venom pandemic. It also can read Crown. Corona means crown also in Latin terms. Visually, we see kings represented with a crown symbol. So put that together for me. King Cobra venom. It actually could read King Cobra Venom pandemic. I've said this for about a year now that I actually believe this is more of a religious war on the entire world. I've been adamant about that. Actually, the message of Christ forever was He's the master healer and faith precedes all miracles, not vaccines.   So why are we actually putting more faith in drugs? And why is a man of the cloth [the Pope] supposedly putting more faith in science and a drug than he is in telling people to pray to God? God's greatest creation was you, and you are made up of a DNA strand of genetics that are unique to you. If I was going to do something incredibly evil, how ironic would it be that the Catholic Church or whoever would use the one symbol of an animal that represents evil in all religion, which is either the snake or the dragon, which is actually just a snake with legs. You take that snake or that serpent and you figure out how to isolate genes from that serpent. And get those genes of that serpent to insert itself into your God given created DNA. I think this was the plan all along; to get the serpents, the evil ones, DNA into your God created DNA and they figured out how to do it with this mRNA technology, they are using mRNA, which is mRNA extracted from, I believe, the king cobra venom.   And I think they want to get that venom inside of you and make you a hybrid of Satan. No longer just belonging to God or a creation of God's. When I say that the mRNA inside of the Pfizer and Moderna shots is actually derived from snake venom. Yeah, it just sounds crazy, right? But I want you to read from July 6th, last year, 2021, the co-founder of Moderna read the title, show it to the camera.   Moderna is using mRNA technology to treat venomous snake bites. It goes on to say that he's going to help create and co-found a company based in San Francisco that actually is going to solely work on creating anti venom drugs for snakebites.   Guess who funds this thing? The Department of Defense, the Welcome Trust Fund and the United Nations. Incredible. All right. So this is great.   Let's just wrap our heads around that for a second. How many snake bite victims are there? It's like 100,000 people. 100,000 people will die from snake bites. But this is enough for the Department of Defense and for the United Nations to get on board and to fund such a venture?   Dr. Hoffe out of Canada after evaluating his vaccinated patients, was able to determine those who had received them had elevated  d-dimers, and he checked that because they all complained of extreme fatigue, like long hauler's COVID symptoms. And he was enlightened to do this d-dimer test and then found every single one of them had elevated d-dimer. Now I want you to read on Medscape: What is it that medical doctors are trained to look for when they see elevated d-dimers? So read the title and I want you to read the fifth bullet point.   How are elevated d-dimer levels interpreted? Snake venom poisoning. So even medical doctors are trained to look for elevated d- dimers and to know that this is a possible snake venom poisoning. And notice they didn't use the word snake bite victim or snake venom poisoning. And I was like, Oh, my God, it's in the mRNA shots for sure. This is why you're seeing this. They even talk about it on here that d-dimer is a reflection of fibrinogen and its ability to control coagulation, and that it's usually at normal low levels inside of people who are fine. But then these d-dimers get extremely elevated after snake venom poisoning.   The kidney failure caused by Remdesivir is the number one organ targeted by King Cobra venom. It's the number one. There isn't anything in relationship to symptom-a-tology of COVID 19 injuries post COVID 19 vaccines treatment with Remdesivir that cannot be correlated back in research studies to venom from cobras, kraits and other vipers.   So when somebody gets bit by a snake, particularly a king cobra or a krait, what is the long term prognosis for these people? If you have been injected you've had gene sequences put into you or peptides put into you from a venom. And that actually continues, particularly one bite after another. Those disease processes become even more exaggerated. This is why they want to continue doing the booster shot program…   FOLLOW-UP: Dr. Ardis Answers the Top Questions About “Venom Theory”:  https://www.brighteon.com/14d31e23-e80f-4247-a882-c148ac4ea53f   Transcript of the first 15 minutes:   Dr. Ardis: “I've worried that the information was going to be so monstrous that many people would deflect immediately and not trust the information or not want to consider even looking at it.   I was hoping that when I brought this to Mike Adams that any gaps in the story would be filled in by other experts in their fields.   I'm not an expert in all fields. I'm not an expert in water supplies. So I just want to clear up this water supply thing. (With the help of Mike Adams.)   The one thing that's been the biggest negative has been people saying, “There's no way this is in the water. How can you even say they're poisoning the water with snake venom?” etc.   I want people to understand something; water has not been my story. This is not even the biggest part of the story. I've just wanted to save people's lives from the hospital protocols.   As I have said from the very beginning; for the last 2 years, “Whatever the bioweapon is, even when I thought it was just a  virus engineered in a lab, that it's not very good or effective because less than 1% of the entire world population has died from it. I never thought the whole “water source thing” was dangerous or horrific and everyone should focus on the water. (In fact Stew Peters was the one who came up with the title for our “Watch the Water" interview and documentary.)   Mike Adams: About the 'water thing'; I find it a little bit surprising that some people were giving you push-back on the water issue. It's as if they've forgotten the decades of water Fluoridation. The water supply has been meticulously and systematically poisoned with toxic fluoride , which is a near toxic chemical that is dripped into the water supply. It usually comes in the form of a powder (just like Remdesivir) and then it's reconstituted into a solution.   Every municipal water treatment center has a machine that drips quote “the proper dose” of the poison into the water supply folks! So how can people say they're not poisoning us in the water? And secondly, What about Flint Michigan and all the lead poisoning that occurred in that event? What about the poisoning of Du Ponte chemicals in the water supply? I mean, come on people! To say that you can't be poisoned in the water supply is just ignorant!…   Dr. Ardis: When people keep asking me, “What proof do you have that it's in the water?” How about if you just look at what the CDC's been doing; What they've actually been testing this whole time looking for the bioweapon called SARS COV 2.     They have 400 water testing sites in different cities all around the country. They are doing PCR testing on your water looking for the weapon. They are looking for this so called “virus” in your water. (Some argue but that's the waste water they are testing.) But they are gonna filter that water and it's going to become your drinking water and I can't see any evidence yet that the CDC has proven that they're not only testing the water for SARS COV 2 (this really deadly pathogen according to them) and then at the same time filtering it out of your water before returning it back to you. I've never seen that evidence or read anything about that.   All I've seen is, “We are testing all these sites; looking for SARS COV 2 in the water and they've been using this sole method for predicting outbreaks in your city! They are only looking at the water! So if this is what they are using to predict outbreaks in your town then logically it must be being recirculated back into the water source (that's coming through our taps.)   So, I just want people to know, if the CDC is looking in your water for SARS COV 2, maybe we should find out if they are actually filtering it out of the water as they find it!   Mike Adams: So, what they are testing is waste water. But as you say the sewage water gets treated and turned back into drinking water. What you say is true that what is coming out of someones tap was coming out of someone's toilet up the river. So the question becomes, “Are these water districts who treat the water removing SARS COV 2? Do they remove potentially snake venom peptides (from pharmaceuticals or other sources). What are they removing or not removing and we don't have an answer to that question yet.   Dr. Ardis: I don't know either. But the enlightening fact is that governments around the world have been doing waste water surveillance testing for SARS COV 2 this whole time. So my question is, “Have they been poisoning the water right under our noses and we never knew it?”   People are saying, “How did Ardis come to this?” The truth is and I really want to convey this point; The story for me is NOT the water. My whole agenda for 2 years has been to save peoples lives from (these evil) hospital protocols. It just took a new direction when I got a text from Dr. Richard Bartlett that said, “If you got bit by a rattle snake would go get anti-venom?”   Ever since then the entire scope of Covid -19 and the reality of what it really is has completely transformed, regardless of the source of how they are distributing it!   There is enough evidence now to start looking to see. Is it true that the bioweapon itself is being distributed through gain of function or they've just been dumping synthetic peptides of venomous into the water, or aerosolizing them; however they are king distributed.   Is it true that the bioweapon is snake venom or animal venom peptides and if so go test the people. The University of Arizona said that individuals treated for Covid 19 whose tissue and blood samples were studied; that the amount of this enzyme called SPLA-2 that was present looked like snake venom had been coursing through their veins. This is the same enzyme found in rattle snake venom.   We need to start looking at, “Is it possible that these components found in venom are orchestrating this whole plan. Because when you start looking at the mRNA vaccine side effects; almost all of them can be tied to a specific snake venom component. You can also look at the SARS COV 2 side effects like loss of taste and smell. These are actually side effects of snake venom and not customarily  a side effect of viruses which has been very “mysterious.”   Mike Adams: So I'm glad that you mentioned multiple vectors of exposure because Dr. Lee Merrick believes that this has probably been distributed in cities as a contact poison to distribute it through skin penetrating nano particles which were part of the Eco Health Alliance's proposal to DARPA for release in China in the bat caves. You mentioned water as a vector and also an aerosolized   release as a possible vector.   I think what you are trying to convey to people is, “Hey, don't get stuck on the 'water'. There are multiple vectors. The point is maybe it's in the air, maybe it's on contact surfaces, maybe it's in the water, but these people are being deliberately exposed to these nano particles that you're saying were derived from the structure of venom peptides because those molecules are extremely toxic and are generating the side effects that we're seeing. Is that a fair summary of what you are saying?   Dr. Ardis: Yes. By the way, Dr. Lee Merrick texted me this morning and said, “Dr. Ardis, You're going to have to show me evidence about this water sourcing and snake venom.” And I texted her back and said, “Dr. Merrick, you're missing the point. I need everybody to go look at the weapon! I don't care where it is (or the mode of distribution.) Look Dr. Merrick, they are finding it in the water. Our government agencies are spending millions of dollars finding it in the water. It's obviously in the water also; whether through shedding in the feces of they are actively poisoning us, just as with fluoride.”   Just know the weapon is venom. Treat it like an envemomation  and you'll solve the riddle of the mystery of SARS COV 2 “infections” and the side effects of the vaccines, and the hospital protocols being used for Covid 19 “infections.” They all have something in common. They all find these snake venom- like properties in the side effects and in the enzymes in the bodies of Covid 19 patients.   Mike Adams: Yeah. That's what's fascinating. It was shocking how closely the symptoms match up. And also you've provided a tremendous amount of documentation. So there's been a lot of due diligence on your part. Scientific American absolutely did publish a story in 2020 that is mentioned in your presentation that talks about the SARS COV 2 has the most similarity  with snakes because of the code ons and the genetic similarity and CNN covered it as well as other scientific journals etc.   So when people say there's no research to back this up; I don't know what they're watching or what they are not watching we put it all up on the screen for everybody.   Dr. Ardis: The thing that kind of solidified it all for me was when the British Medical Journal Global News published last year that, “Right now there are 2 health crisis going around at the same time around the world which were, “Snakes bites and Covid 19.” They didn't say, “Bat bites and Covid -19.” They have one research and development in common; only one opportunity to handle both crisis.   The code-on usage bias, as we showed from the studies in Jan. 2020 is a specific term that specifies the genetic origin. Well, this study found that the code-on usage bias for SARS COV 2 was most identical to the Chinese common Krait and the King Cobra. NOT bats. SNAKES.   Mike Adams: Well, you've brought a lot of research to the table and one of the reactions today from the Left wing media is, “Oh, this is crazy. Snake venom. Crazy conspiracy. Where do these people get this stuff?” Right? They are attacking you and Stew Peters. (who by the way has had his house SWATED by the FBI twice in the past week; Go figure.) But it's all in the research. It's all in the articles. But the funny thing is, by attacking you over this they are forcing people to think about snake venom for the first time.   Dr. Ardis: And the British Medical Journal is saying that the two main crisis around the world right now are snake bites and Covid -19. So maybe we should be looking at SNAKE VENOM! ...     Doctors Don't Even Know! Millions of People are Swallowing Venom-Derived Pharmaceuticals Made from Pit Vipers, Gila monsters, Leeches, Rattlesnakes and Death-stalker Scorpions Thursday, April 14, 2022 by: Mike Adams   https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-04-14-millions-people-swalling-venom-derived-pharmaceuticals-rattlesnakes-pit-vipers-death-stalker-scorpions.html   PHARMA SNAKES: Thirteen Irrefutable FACTS About Snake Venom, Big Pharma and Biological Weapons Friday, April 15, 2022 by: Mike Adams   As the concept of “venom theory” has reverberated around the world this week, many people are shocked to realize how many pharmaceutical medications are derived almost entirely from rattlesnake venom, Gila Monster reptile venom, pit viper venom, scorpion venom and other such sources. A pain treatment drug named Prialt (see Prialt.com) is actually synthesized by copying the poison of the Magical Cone Snail (conus magus). This poison produces hallucinations, confusion, altered states of consciousness and more. The insert sheet for the Prialt drug carries bizarre warnings such as, “Patients have become unresponsive or stuporous while receiving PRIALT.” Patients who are made unconscious by the drug may appear to be perfectly conscious, almost as if they are in a zombie state. The warning sheet explains, “During these episodes, patients sometimes appear to be conscious and breathing is not depressed. If reduced levels of consciousness occur, discontinue PRIALT until the event resolves…” We acknowledge that drugs like Prialt may have practical, beneficiary applications for people who are suffering chronic pain, yet who are unable to take highly addictive opioids for a variety of reasons. However, we take issue with the fact that drug companies and doctors seem to be hiding the origins of these medications from patients. Most doctors aren't even aware that toxins, poisons and venoms are used as the templates to synthesize extremely toxic peptides that are frequently used in prescription medications, including drugs for heart attacks, diabetes, high blood pressure and more. Reptile venoms can be weaponized and turned into large-scale chemical weapon systems Even worse, these reptile venoms can be weaponized and mass produced, then used in a large-scale chemical attack on the population by introducing these toxins into food, water, air or contact surfaces. Just as fentanyl can be weaponized through aerosolization and drone delivery, these reptile venom peptides can also be weaponized and used to mass murder large numbers of people. Some observers believe this has already happened, and that the mRNA “vaccines” currently being injected into people may deposit instructions for venom peptide synthesis into the cells of the body. If true, this would turn your body into a reptilian venom factory from the inside. It might also explain why so many side effects of covid vaccines seem to align so closely with the known effects of envenomation (being bitten by a snake, a viper, a scorpion, etc). Dr. Bryan Ardis covers this in detail in part 3 of my recent interview with him. Many people say this third part is by far the most informative, and it's all backed by meticulous scientific research: Brighteon.com/0d74ac38-dcf9-44e6-99f6-96c6a59abcf9 As ToxinTech.com explains on their website, touting the pharmaceutical potential for the venom peptides in their library: The biological function of animal venoms is to immobilize and kill prey or predator in seconds to minutes… venom toxins target… neuromuscular, cardiovascular, hemostatic and other life functions. Toxins bind to targets with high affinity and are chemically stable. For the record, we do not ascribe nefarious intent on the part of ToxinTech. However, we recognize that ToxinTech's venom library may be exploited and misused by bad actors to create weapons of mass destruction, all based on venom peptides which are engineered to kill. Interestingly, the ToxinTech home page feature image asks a rather blunt question that could be easily misconstrued: Designed Toxins… Have a Target? In the context of biosciences, this means a molecular target such as a specific enzymatic pathway or channel such as calcium channels or sodium channels. But to the mind of a bad actor with nefarious intent, they might wish to target humanity, for example, with a venom-based depopulation weapon. 13 irrefutable facts about snake venom, Big Pharma and bioweapons We've spent much of this week researching the venom peptide industry, and what we've found is rather astonishing. In fact, I think it's one of the biggest stories in the history of modern pharmaceutical medicine. Here's what we know so far: Fact #1 – Big Pharma routinely uses venom and venom peptides for drug discovery. Around 150,000 animal species are known to produce toxins, and scientists estimate that 20 million toxins exist (only a small fraction have been studied). Fact #2 – Massive venom libraries already exist (20,000+ venom peptides) and are marketed to the pharma industry for drug discovery. Two such companies are Venomtech (UK) and ToxinTech (USA). Fact #3 – One venom library company celebrates how its venoms for Big Pharma are able to “immobilize and kill prey .. in seconds or minutes.” They explain that venoms are “Perfected by millions of years of evolution” in order to target “neuromuscular, cardiovascular, hemostatic and other life functions.” (ToxinTech.com home page, sourced April 14, 2022) This means that venom library licensing companies recognize the toxicity of the compounds they are offering to drug companies. In fact, they state so in their own marketing materials. Fact #4 – Reptile venoms can be weaponized and made into biological weapons. Protein sequences are provided by the venom library companies, allowing gain-of-function research to engineer venom peptides into viral payloads or mRNA therapeutics. Because venoms are poisons, the knowledge of how to engineer and synthesize those poisons at the amino acid level is also knowledge of how to build biological or chemical weapons. Fact #5 – Dozens of pharmaceuticals derived entirely from animal venom already exist. Many are FDA approved. A full chart has been published by Natural News and is also shown below. Fact #6 – Pharma appears to be HIDING the venom origins of their products, making few or no disclosures on marketing websites about the actual origin of their drugs. You would have to read the insert sheets and understand latin names to know that their drugs come from animal venom. Fact #7 – Nearly zero doctors or patients know about the venom origins of venom-derived medications. Thus, patients are swallowing actual reptile venom molecules but being told by their doctors that it is “medication.” The FDA's approving of a venom as a medication does not magically transform it into something that is non-toxic. The toxicity is simply reframed as “therapeutic” by the FDA, which then hands the pharmaceutical company a market monopoly to sell a molecule that was actually pirated from nature. Fact #8 – Venom molecules and venom peptides are mass synthesized in pharmaceutical factories. This is a common practice. This is referred to by numerous scientific and bioscience resources, including the World Economic Forum. Fact #9 – Venoms and venom peptides are synthesized as “chemically stable” (ToxinTech.com) and are routinely delivered via liquid solutions without any preservatives. (They need no special preservatives to maintain their structure and function.) Nanocarriers are also available to further stabilize the venom peptides. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31223083/). Fact #10 – Venoms can be touted by pharmaceutical companies as “naturally occurring,” because they are. Yet this label can be misleading since people equate the word “natural” with “healthful” or “safe.” Fact #11 – Because venom peptides are stable in solution, they can be weaponized and mass produced, then distributed via air, water, food or contact surfaces. This means that it is entirely plausible that mass poisoning via venom peptides could be accomplished through the water supply, or the food supply, or dropped on cities via drones, etc. These are not outlandish ideas in the least. The US Dept of Homeland Security just recently conducted chemical weapons simulation tests in New York City, releasing “non-toxic gas” in city parks and subway stations in order to study this very thing. If it's a “crazy conspiracy theory,” then somebody needs to tell DHS, because they've been drilling for this exact scenario. Fact #12 – Some toxins are skin-penetrating and can be absorbed merely by TOUCHING. (Not a venom, but a toxin or poison.) This was all admitted in an Ecohealth Alliance proposal to DARPA, as covered in this story: Leaked DARPA document, DRASTIC analysis confirms attack on humanity using aerosolized, skin-penetrating nanoparticle spike proteins. Fact #13 – Venoms and venom peptides produced for pharma are so stable that they survive stomach acid, which means the venom peptides are stable in solution, including in rather acidic (reactive) solutions. This means they do not automatically break down in city water, either. If venom toxins were not highly stable molecules, they would not be very good venoms in the first place. As ToxinTech explains, “millions of years of evolution” has perfected the functionality of these molecules.

Grace Schara, a promising young woman with Down Syndrome, died at the hands of “hospital protocol” October 13th after being admitted on October 6th for COVID-19 treatment. This occurred after she was given a lethal combination dosage of Precedex, Lorazepam, and Morphine within a period of 30 minutes by the attending medical team.This was a death that was PREVENTABLE, especially when you consider these facts:Despite having NO prior authorization from her medical power of attorney, Grace was labeled DNR by the attending physician, in violation of Wisconsin State Statute 154.Hospital staff put Grace in restraints simply because she wanted to get up to use the restroom, a disability rights violation.Medical advocate/parent was removed by an armed guard from the hospital room in direct violation of guidelines from the US Department of Health and Human Services to support and protect people with disabilities during the pandemic.No one has satisfactorily explained why that particular cocktail of medicines was used. It is especially odd considering the family was told she had a good day the day before, prompting the doctor to recommend a feeding tube be placed on the morning of the day Grace later died.“It is so important that EVERYONE knows Grace's story,” said Grace's dad Scott Schara. “Grace, nor any other disabled person, should have to endure what she did. No family should have to live through this, either.”“Grace was a beautiful, inquisitive young woman who loved Elvis, geography, dancing, fishing, horse riding, and playing the violin, among many other interests. She loved the Lord.  The sky was truly the limit with Grace, and we were blessed to have her in our lives for 19 years. We don't want her death to be in vain.” said Schara.Watch on YouTubeSupport the show

The Biden Administration is falling apart. Republicans can make big gains. The Party is improving. But a lot of the candidates still don't understand exactly what they need to do, or they're too frightened to really do it, or they're still surrounded by clueless advisors and comms specialists and grifters who push them in the wrong direction. Speaking of grifters, listeners to this program know that Vernon Jones is one. But there are alternatives. One of those alternatives is Kandiss Taylor. What's her plan to make Georgia a better state and keep it from going the way of Virginia? She joins us to discuss. Scott Schara is the father of a 19-year-old daughter with Down Syndrome, Grace, whom he believes was killed by her hospital. Grace had Covid, but even then, Scott says she should have been fine. He believes she was killed by a combination of questionable medications given to her by hospital staff. Grace was labeled as a DNR – Do Not Resuscitate – against her family's wishes, and then was overdosed on a combination of Precedex, Lorazepam, and morphine, all within a 30-minute window. Scott Schara joins us. It's been almost a week since Scott Quiner was rescued from Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids, Minnesota and flown to Texas to be treated by a doctor who isn't eager to kill him. Obviously, there's still a long road to recovery, but we're very hopeful that with real care Scott Quiner will eventually wake up and even join us on this program. Scott's wife Anne joins us with an update on his condition. Deanna Lorraine discusses the new globalist plot to harass the unvaccinated through financial regulations.

We discuss Scott and Cindy's daughter, Grace (19), who had Downs Syndrome and passed away on October 13. She died at a COVID hospital after a doctor labeled her DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) against the family's wishes, and then proceeded to overdose her on Precedex, Lorazepam, and Morphine within a 30-minute window. These meds should never be used together and warning labels (black boxes) on medications indicate as much.  Daily podcast, relevant articles on issues pertaining to Christians and more can be found on Stand Up For The Truth.

You may have heard of Valium, Xanax, Klonopin, or Lorazepam. These are benzodiazepines and are prescribed for anxiety. Are they effective medicine or a scary drug? Do the calming benefits of these drugs outweigh the risks? Here to tell us more is Dr Eric Hansen from Sierra Tucson.

It was an intense journey of escalating medications, doctors visits, sleep testing, lab work and feeling like something was very wrong until Georg stumbled across Martin Reed on YouTube. Now things have changed in many ways and the struggle has all but ended. This content does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and should never replace any advice given to you by your physician or other qualified healthcare providers.

In the rearview mirror…What I wish I had known about post mastectomy challenges.When you are diagnosed with breast cancer, what's probably foremost in your mind is to expedite surgery and treatment options to rid your body of the cancer.  In another blog, I talk about how to prepare for a mastectomy in a practical way by getting the supplies you will need for physical recovery.  What I didn't discuss in that podcast, and what is most often not discussed, was how I would emotionally feel about the loss of my breasts.  In my book, A Teacher's Journey…What Breast Cancer Taught Me, I recall the morning of my mastectomy when I looked in the hotel mirror after showering. I felt the need to verbally say goodbye to my breasts. Suddenly, I was filled with emotion and terror with visions of how I would look when they were gone.  Not that they were great, mind you, I had nursed both my sons, and they were fifty-three years old and saggy.  Doubts surfaced and I thought do I really know what I'm doing?  I then burst into tears.  My husband John, always my rock, hugged me and reassured me it would all be ok.  After taking a Lorazepam that my surgeon had prescribed to settle my nerves, I felt better and ready to go.  Well, did I really have a choice anyway?No matter how you feel about your breasts, whether they are too small, too saggy or too large, you WILL grieve them.  They are part of you.  They are part of your femininity, sexuality and a large part of love making. You have a history together…which are now only memories. I had been told that I could possibly have some minor sensation after recovery, but there were no guarantees.  My mastectomy was a skin sparing with expanders placed during surgery, but my nipples would not be spared.  Since I had extensive LCIS and DCIS, my medical team could not assure me there weren't cancer cells in the nipples.  At this point, there was no sense taking a chance. Although I was resolute in my decision, and certain it was the right choice given the information and options at hand, I was still tormented. That fateful morning in the hotel before leaving for the hospital when I cried, it was a foreshadowing for all the tears I would shed in the coming months.When I first woke after surgery, there were ace bandages wrapped tightly around my chest.  The pressure was intense and I thought it was from these bandages.  The reality was it was the expanders.  Nothing can prepare you for the “iron bra” feeling of expanders.  They are extremely uncomfortable and getting used to them is a huge part of the first few months of healing.  They are hard, immoveable, and unforgiving when attempting to get comfortable for sleep.Many of my breast cancer friends, were able to choose DIEP flap reconstruction.  This was not an option for me with the plastic surgeon I selected.  Her expertise was limited to using the stomach area for the tissue needed.  I didn't have enough tissue available in that area.  What I wish I had known is that there are specialized surgeons that are trained to harvest tissue from other areas such as the buttocks, thighs or hips (I would have loved to use that area).  This may have involved travel for this expertise, but I would have SO done that to have natural tissue as my new breasts in lieu of implants.Although I was so fortunate as to not require chemo due to my low oncotype score, I was not prepared that the healing process and completion of the reconstruction would require a long twelve months of procedures, check-ups, surgeries and mental coping.  I used yoga, meditation, counseling, and walking to decompress, but I wish I had been more mentally prepared. Most medical teams, or at least mine only volunteered information in small doses.  If you don't ask a lot of questions Support the show

Ashley and Cam talk about the mysterious death of Cindy James. Jeepers Creepers!⁠⁠In this week's episode, Cam covers the murder (or suicide) of Canadian nurse Cindy James. Cindy was stalked, harassed, threatened, and physically assaulted on multiple occasions, for seven years before she was found drugged, strangled with a black nylon, and hogtied near an abandoned house in 1989. Dead from an apparent overdose of morphine and Lorazepam, the RCMP said that it was an elaborate suicide; that the more than 100 instances that she reported over the years were lies she made up for attention.To download "Fucked Up Bingo" for today's episode, and for our sources, head over to tsfuthepodcast.comIf you haven't joined our Discord yet, what're you doing?! https://discord.gg/j5aPUgtFollow us @tsfuthepodcast on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok and Facebook, where you can also join our private Facebook group!Audio engineering by Evette Darensbourg.

Lorazepam tablets and liquid start to work in about 20 to 30 minutes. They reach their optimal sedating effect after 1 to 1.5 hours and last approximately 6 to 8 hours. Lorazepam injection works much faster, yet it also lasts about 6 to 8 hours.https://recoverypartnernetwork.com/drug/benzodiazepine/ativan-addiction

This medication is employed primarily to treat anxiety. Lorazepam falls into a class of drugs known as benzodiazepines that act on the brain and nerves to generate a calming effect. The drug works by stimulating the effects of a certain natural chemical in the body named GABA.https://recoverypartnernetwork.com/drug/benzodiazepine/ativan-addiction

Zu den schon bekannten Google-Recherchen wie "Lorazepam letale Dosis" oder "perfekter Mord" haben IT-Forensiker eine Vielzahl weiterer Suchbegriffe auf dem Computer von Christian F. entdeckt. "Mord mit Gift" oder "Guillotine Griff" (ein Würgegriff) fanden Experten in gelöschten und danach rekonstruierten Verlaufsprotokollen. Was an Tag sechs im Mordprozess um den Tod von Maria Baumer noch geschehen ist, analysieren André Baumgarten und MZ-Reporterin Isolde Stöcker-Gietl in dieser Folge eingehend.

Schon der zweite Prozesstag am Schwurgericht barg eine kleine Überraschung: Per mitochondrial-DNA-Analyse wurden Haare im Löschkalk bei der Leiche dem angeklagten Ex-Verlobten zugeordnet. Mit einer Wahrscheinlichkeit von 1:15.000. Christian F. schweigt derweil zu allen Vorwürfen, die ihm im Fall Maria Baumer gemacht werden. Was an den ersten beiden Verhandlungstagen im Mordprozess gegen den 35-Jährigen am Landgericht in Regensburg geschah, fassen wir zusammen.

Am 1. Juli 2020 beginnt in Regensburg ein Indizienprozess, um dem Tod von Maria Baumer zu klären. Die Anklage gegen den früheren Verlobten der 26-Jährigen birgt eine Überraschung: Nach der zweiten Festnahme von Christian F. im Dezember 2019 haben die Ermittler in einem Speziallabor neue Spuren nachweisen können. An der Kleidung des Opfers wurde Tramadol entdeckt, ein hochwirksames Opiat - und in Kombination mit Lorazepam tödlich. André Baumgarten geht mit MZ-Reporterin Isolde Stöcker-Gietl der Frage nach, was das bedeutet. Die Pilotfolge zu unseren wöchentlich Updates vom Prozess bietet einen guten Überblick, was seit Maria Baumers Verschwinden 2012 und dem Fund ihrer sterblichen Überreste im September 2013 geschehen ist.

June is National Men's Health Month' - and Neil Scott and co-host Dr. Tom Walsh welcome Ana Tomsic, vice president of The National Men's Health Network in Washington, DC to discuss the importance of regular health check-ups. Questions from 'the anonymous in-box' deal with penis size, the drug Lorazepam, and the testosterone supplement DHEA

Until I started doing this podcast, I was mostly ignorant to the extent of the harm sometimes caused by psychiatric and antibiotic medications. In spite of my own 2 week experience with disabling withdrawal symptoms from an antidepressant 20 years ago, and contemporary reports of withdrawal symptoms from friends and clients, I still had no idea how pervasive - and sometimes permanent - these brain injuries were. As frightening as that was to learn, the prescriptions for psychiatric medication for depression and anxiety have soared in during the COVID pandemic.  And let’s face it folks, we are still in the early stages of the pandemic - if we get blue skies with double rainbows we may have a vaccine in 18 months, but that’s really wishful thinking - the global economy has taken an unprecedented hit, and that means many people’s jobs and financial security are going to be at further risk. This will only add to the feelings of anxiety -- but let’s be clear, it is normal to feel anxious about how the world is suddenly changing in so many ways. Learning coping skills, having strategies to feel more safe in an unknown future, and using supportive relationships are natural ways to feel better about feeling anxious. In this episode, we hear what happened to Jocelyn Pedersen after taking a benzodiazepine for less than a week. Jocelyn was so physically sick from the benzo brain injury, she had to spend much of the time horizontal on the floor with her baby while her neighbour’s helped with household chores. Jocelyn’s body was a complete mess: she couldn’t sleep, eat, watch tv, read, her bowels were dysfunctional and she was losing weight fast. That’s just the start of Jocelyn’s journey with benzodiazepine medications -- a medication journey, as Jocelyn describes, that goes through madness. Jocelyn’s health care experience is a textbook example of how the medical system pushes psychiatric medications without understanding how the meds can cause brain injury. This often leads to doctors denying side effects or withdrawal symptoms, effectively gaslighting the patient, psychologizing physical symptoms, and pathologizing human emotions. It was a long arduous road for Jocelyn to get back to her usual high functioning self, and along the way she started sharing her experiences and what she learned and now Jocelyn has a large following on social media. On her YouTube channel Benzo Brains, Jocelyn shares real world information about benzodiazepines and strategies on successfully managing the withdrawal symptoms. Jocelyn has just written a memoir about her experiences with benzos and the health care system called “Seeds of Hope: A Journey Through Medication and Madness Toward Meaning”.

She is a speaker at CME's and continuing education courses for doctors and healthcare providers on the dangers of benzodiazepines and how to help patients safely withdraw. Jocelyn is also subject in the upcoming As Prescribed documentary film and the author of Seeds of Hope: a Journey through medication and madness toward meaning. When she's not busy managing her Benzo Brains YouTube channel or serving as an advisor to The Alliance for Benzodiazepine Best Practices and The Council for Sustainable Healing, you can find her rocking out to big band music and forcing her kids to watch MGM musicals with her. 0:06:00 Jocelyn grew up in Pueblo, Colorado and her childhood was mixture of good and bad things, mental and physical abuse - but also grew up with a lot of spiritual support at Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints and it stabilized her and taught her to overcome 0:07:00 Jocelyn got an academic scholarship to Brigham Young University so she moved to Utah and she loved college and graduated with a BS (Bachelor of Science) in childhood educations - college was a way to escape and re-start her life 0:08:00 Jocelyn got married and they moved to North Carolina and they had their first baby, but he passed away, so they decided to move closer to family for support and moved to Utah 0:09:00 Jocelyn started teaching at a local school for 2 years until she got pregnant again - she writes about her experience in her memoir that will be released in June: "Seeds of Hope: A Journey through medication and madness toward meaning" -- a couple of years later she had another baby, a girl to go with a boy 0:10:00 Jocelyn's father was a chiropractor so she grew up with a healthy distrust of allo medicine - but her story really starts when Jocelyn sought out a sleeping pill from her doctor - her baby daughter was in the hospital with meningitis, and then her toddler son was admitted to the hospital twice, so Jocelyn was not getting enough sleep - the economy was bad at the time, her husband was out of work 0:11:00 The doctor prescribed Ambien and assured Jocelyn it wouldn't pass through her breast milk to her baby - Jocelyn doesn't like taking medications, but thought she'd take it temporarily to get back into her sleep cycle 0:12:00 But within a couple of days, Jocelyn could tell her baby daughter was being affected by the Ambien - after 5 or 6 days Jocelyn stopped the Ambien and that's when things fell apart and her insomnia got much worse, she had ringing in her ears, running to the bathroom all the time, couldn't eat, losing weight, couldn't read a book, watch tv, and suddenly also had pain and couldn't even go for a walk 0:13:00 Jocelyn had a bunch of tests done but they all came back normal, so no explanation, except being told 'you have post partum depression', or 'you're having a nervous breakdwon', or 'you have anxiety' - but Jocelyn knew about depression from the death of her first baby, and this wasn't that 0:14:00 After about 4 months of literally lying on the floor with her baby and neighbours coming by to help - Jocelyn had been a high energy person: running, yoga, working out - but then she started to get suicidal thoughts 0:15:00 Jocelyn was told by the doctor she had major depressive disorder and an anxiety disorder and was given Effexor and Ativan - the first day she took the meds she slept well for the first time in 4 months - only later would Jocelyn realize that Ativan is practically the same as Ambien 0:16:00 So the Ativan stabilized the injury from the Ambien - originally Jocelyn was only to take the Ativan for a brief period, but the doctor increased the dose to 2 mg - 'it was like magic', Jocelyn felt better, like her old self, except for the pain, which was diagnosed as Fibromyalgia, and she was given Cymbalta for the pain - so for the most port Jocelyn was able to lead a normal life, she was a believer that she must have needed the meds 0:17:00 Jocelyn had studied and learned a lot about natural medicine and didn't like the idea of continuing to take Cymbalta, and it put weight on her 0:18:00 But the doctor would say, 'don't stop the Cymbalta until you've stopped the Ativan, now Lorazepam - but every time she tried to cut down, her symptoms would get worse, she couldn't sleep - so she stayed on them for another 3 years - but eventually tried to wean off again - she did stop progesterone cold turkey and got really sick 0:19:00 Her blood pressure sky rocketed, she gained a lot of weight, and falling asleep in the middle of the day - so she cold turkeyed it and the first time she experienced full on crazy, shaking all the time, and couldn't function 0:20:00 Jocelyn realized later the Cymbalta had really messed with her blood sugar and that's why she had put on so much weight - Jocelyn successfully weaned of the Cymbalta, but was still taking Lorazepam at night, but she and her husband wanted to have another baby but the literature said that Lorazepam could cause birth defects - they decided to go ahead and try to have another baby and that Jocelyn would try to taper off the Lorazepam 0:21:00 But Jocelyn later learned it doesn't really cause birth defects, but can cause of miscarriages if stopped to fast - Jocelyn did get pregnant and started to taper by 1/8th 0:22:00 Just cutting an 1/8th of a mg caused intense disabling symptoms: couldn't shower, read, watch tv, losing weight, and anxiety of a whole other dimension 0:23:00 It was torture, and then she had to cut the dose again, and then again - by the time Jocelyn got to half way she was ready to give up and kill herself because she couldn't handle the unending torture - luckily her husband started researching online - because Jocelyn couldn't - and found BenzoBuddies.org and Benzo.org.uk and he found the Ashton Manual, which a lot of people use to withdraw 0:24:00 They realized that Jocelyn wasn't crazy and that a lot of people were having the same experiences - and Jocelyn was probably tapering too fast - Ativan has a half life, so Jocelyn would experience sudden symptom onsets daily - so she switched to a longer lasting benzo to complete her taper 0:25:00 At the time, Jocelyn was too sick to go to the doctor - the next time she saw a doctor was at the ER when she thought she was having a miscarriage - they brought the Ashton Manual and requested Valium to stabilize Jocelyn, the doctor was resistant but finally agreed 0:26:00 The Valium provided some relief, but it was still hell and she didn't feel like she was going to take her own life - her family has seen Jocelyn struggle with Ambien withdrawal a few years before, and hearing the testimonials of others, helped them all to understand 0:27:00 Jocelyn had been drug injured with Ambien, but misdiagnosed with anxiety and depression - Jocelyn's doctor, a friend of the family, did not recognize withdrawal symptoms of Ambien 0:28:00 Jocelyn did have a miscarriage, which she is thankful for in some ways as she wasn't well enough to take care of a newborn at the time - Jocelyn continued to taper 0:29:00 Jocelyn tried various versions of tapering before discovering water titration, which she shows how to do on her YouTube channel - she had learned that in Facebook support groups - Jocelyn did reach out to mainstream medicine, she has a chapter in her book called 'Physician Heal Thyself' - all the doctors thought they knew about withdrawal, but none of them did, and none of them had read the Ashton Manual 0:30:00 One doctor told Jocelyn that she just couldn't handle being a Mom and should take some Prozac - the only doctor who was reasonable was Jocelyn's family doctor, but all he was willing to do was to prescribe the Valium 0:31:00 But when he was gone and Jocelyn had to deal with one of the other providers at his clinic, she was given the 3rd degree every time - it took Jocelyn about 18 months to taper off 13 mg dose of Valium - the newer benzos are many multiples more powerful then Valium, yet its the the Valium doctors are hesitant to prescribe 0:32:00 Jocelyn had to learn to accept where she was during the taper, that she had a brain injury - she also had support with the kids during the day, when her son started back to school... 0:33:00 she reached out to people in her church community and a different family came over each day to help her - Jocelyn does not know how she could have managed without community support because her husband was working 2 jobs 0:34:00 The big turning point for Jocelyn was finding a functional medicine doctor, a ND (Naturopathic Doctor) - she found one in her area and helped her with her benzo belly - he did tests that allopathic doctors don't do 0:35:00 He was able to pinpoint deficiencies - she started on a high protein diet because she was hypoglecemic - after about a week on his protocol Jocelyn started improving a lot, sleeping well 0:36:00 Then her son was prescribed an antibiotic and it injured him - it was like deja vu: once again no doctor is believing them - turns out her son developed an autoimmune illness and is allergic to everything - he was a normal boy, running and playing, then suddenly he's in a wheelchair and crying out in pain every few minutes 0:37:00 The paedeatric allergist said her son always had the autoimmune illness, refused to believe it was caused by an antibiotic - but the functional medicine doctor was able to help cut down on the inflammation and allergic reactions, but they are still figuring it out - he has a lot of trauma from that, and from a Mom who was disabled twice in his life - Jocelyn had to learn not to give power to health providers, and to heal herself 0:38:00 Yoga, meditation, diet, stem cell therapy for trigeminal pain -- nerve pain in her face -- it literally hurt to breath - the stem cell was very helpful, but she has to go back every 4 months or so as the pain comes back 0:39:00 How can someone help you if they don't even believe you? -- some doctors are open, but plenty are just closed minded 0:40:00 During her taper, Jocelyn was asked to be a moderator of a Facebook group, so she helped people find resources - then another friend asked her start another group to help people apply for disability or medical malpractice suits or correct medical records - Jocelyn realized they needed some 'weight' behind them, as they were 'just' sick patients, so Jocelyn suggested they start a non-profit 0:41:00 The Benzodiazepine Information Coalition - but then her son got sick and she had to step back to care for and home school him - but it was toward the end of her taper that she made her first Youtube video, just for her friends in the support group - and it got lots of shares - then when she was frustrated with doctors she made another video and that was picked up by Mad in America, and things just picked up 0:42:00 Her videos help people with brain injuries and their families get the support then needed - her Youtube channel is Benzo Brains - Jocelyn is doing really well. now, living life fully - she does get more stressed out physically 0:43:00 Her body is kind of delicate now, but she is really happy, with peace and joy - but if she doesn't get enough sleep or eat write, a dark blanket descends on her brain, but she knows it is only temporary - but it is painful having a son who is still suffering, but she's not coming from a place of fear 0:44:00 Jocelyn believes the suicidal thoughts that came from withdrawal are product of the medications causing the repeated thought 'kill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself' 0:45:00 Most of the people dealing with withdrawal are good people, just doing what your doctor told you - Jocelyn was asked to speak in 2017 at the benzodaizipine medical symposium for doctors 0:46:00 Jocelyn met a lot of wonderful people, including a woman, a benzo survivor, who asked Jocelyn to write a book - initially Jocelyn declined but then thought it could be a good tool to get the message out there 0:47:00 It took a while to write while taking care of kids and her own healing journey, but it will be published June 1st - Seeds of Hope: A journey through madness, medication and meaning - she wants to give people hope that are in the same situation 0:48:00 The publisher approached Jocelyn to write the book - some of her benzo awareness efforts have been black balled by google or facebook or youtube 0:49:00 Obviously there are forces out there they do not want this information in the public spere, but Jocelyn believes there also people out there that know something is wrong - benzo perscriptions have increased 10 fold over the last decade - doctors are just substituting benzos for opiates - so big pharma's profits increased by 10 fold - since COVID, anxiety meds prescriptions have increased 34% 0:50:00 Alliance of Benzo Best Practices is a group of doctors who understand, and researchers who want to do research for the FDA to change recommendations, and to re-educate doctors on these drugs 0:51:00 The stuff pharma puts out, does not warn people about what these drugs can do   Connect with Jocelyn Pedersen:   People can pre-order Seeds of Hope: A Journey Through Medication and Madness Toward Meaning through moongladepress.com and when it's released June 1st on Amazon.com: https://t.co/267G0VaBiz?amp=1My channel is YouTube.com/c/BenzoBrainsSome other helpful resources are benzoreform.orgbenzoinfo.combenzo.org.uk/manualcouncilforsustainablehealing.org   Be a podcast patron Support Medical Error Interviews on Patreon by becoming a Patron for $2 / month for audio versions.  Premium Patrons get access to video versions of podcasts for $5 / month.

Thanks to research and access to medications, HIV is not a problem in my life. I have been living with ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis) since 2012, and thanks in part to medical error, it is a big problem in my life. Counseling / Research I first became aware of the ubiquitousness of medical error during a decade of community based research working with the HIV Prevention Lab at Ryerson University, where I co-authored two research papers on a counseling intervention for people living with HIV, here and here.  Patient participants would often report varying degrees of medical neglect, error and harms as part of their counseling sessions. Patient Advocacy I am co-founder of the ME patient advocacy non-profit Millions Missing Canada, and on the Executive Committee of the Interdisciplinary Canadian Collaborative Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Research Network. I am also a patient advisor for Health Quality Ontario’s Patient and Family Advisory Council, and member of Patients for Patient Safety Canada.

Warum nehmen Lieferengpässe bei Arzneimitteln und Impfstoffen so dramatisch zu und was können Sie als Patient im Moment tun? — SONG / INTRO — Situation Bis 2015 selten 2008, chinesischer Lieferant, selbst als "Weltmarktführer für Heparin" bezeichnet, Heparin vertrieben, das mit Billigsubstanzen gestreckt war. Vom Markt, Heparin knapp, allein in den USA mehr als 800 überwiegend schwere allergische Reaktionen und mehr als 80 Tote. 2011 Aufschrei "Wo ist das ganze Lorazepam geblieben?", in einer britischen Krankenhausapotheke Lorazepam-Injektion (TAVOR i.v.; Pfizer), eines der Standardmittel bei Status epilepticus. 2015 Schilddrüsenhormon L-Thyroxin in Tropfenform, insbesondere für Säuglinge und Kleinkinder, nicht lieferbar wegen Herstellungs-Problemen; Tabletten-Chargen von Hexal und 1A wurden zurückgerufen wegen Instabilität. Seit 2015 deutliche Zunahme Lieferengpässe bei Arzneimitteln haben in den vergangenen Jahren deutlich zu­ge­nommen. Gelbe Liste Online, ein Online-Dienst mit Informationen und Datenbanken für Ärzte, Apotheker und andere medizinische Fachkreise, listet tagesaktuell Lieferengpässe für Medikamente, Impfstoffe. Von 40 Meldungen 2015, 81 in 2016, 108 in 2017, auf 268 Meldungen 2018. Laut Arzneimittelkommission der deutschen Ärzteschaft Aktuell sind es 2019 aktuell 284 Arzneimittel, die man nicht mehr über die Apotheke beziehen kann, Tendenz steigend (BfArM). https://www.bfarm.de/DE/Arzneimittel/Arzneimittelzulassung/Arzneimittelinformationen/Lieferengpaesse/_functions/Filtersuche_Formular.html?queryResultId=null&pageNo=0  Valsartan, einer der in Deutschland am häufigsten eingesetzten Wirkstoffe zur Behandlung von Bluthochdruck. Im Sommer 2018 wurden eu­ropaweit Chargen zurückgerufen, die von einem chinesischen Unternehmen produziert wurden. Produktions­pro­zess umgestellt, dabei potenziell krebserregende Verunreinigungen. Rückruf: In Deutschland waren rund eine Million Patienten betroffen. Apotheken müssen in so einem Fall und da immer häufiger beim Arzt rückfragen, dass ein Medikament nicht verfügbar ist und ob sie ein anderes mit demselben Wirkstoff abgeben dürfen.  Vermehrt jedoch auch, dass Wirkstoffe gar nicht mehr lieferbar sind und auch nicht auf andere Anbieter ausgewichen werden kann. Z.B. Antidepressivum Venlafaxin knapp und zahlreiche Stärken und Tabletten nicht lieferbar. Teilweise kann nur der Originalhersteller Pfizer liefern, doch Trevilor® ist teuer und belastet teilweise mit Mehrkosten, z.B. bei 100 Retardkapseln 150 Euro. Keine direkte Alternative. Andere Antidepressiva haben andere Wirkungen und Nebenwirkungen. In jedem Fall ausschleichen. Nicht abrupt. Bundesvereinigung Deutscher Apothekerverbände (ABDA): Wichtige Schmerzmittel, Blutdrucksenker, Magensäureblocker oder Antidepressiva oft nicht verfügbar. Die Zahl der nicht verfügbaren Medikamente ist auf mehr als neun Millionen Packungen gestiegen, etwa 2% der Arzneimittel, für die es Rabattverträge mit den Krankenkassen gibt. Selbst Ibuprofen ist für einige Zeit nicht lieferbar. Gibt die Apotheke (außerhalb von Notdiensten) ein Produkt anderer Hersteller mit dem gleichen Wirkstoff aus, bleibt sie evtl. auf den Kosten sitzen, weil die Krankenkasse nicht zahlt (Retaxation).  Auch Impfstoffe: Grippe in 2017, Tollwut, Gürtelrose (Shingrix®). Auch aus medizinischen Gründen nicht vertretbar. Patienten sind angeimpft. Der Hersteller sagt: Innerhalb eines Jahres die zweite Impfung. Und nun ist sie nicht erhältlich. Verliert dann die erste Impfung ihre Wirkung? Muss ich von vorne anfangen? Keine Daten, eher ja. Nicht Deutschland-spezifisch:Österreich:Bundesamt für Sicherheit im Gesundheitswesen, kurz BASG: Über 50 Medikamente sind derzeit in Österreich nicht lieferbar. Schweiz:Bundesamt für wirtschaftliche Landesversorgung: In 2017 und 2018 wurden insgesamt 177 Versorgungsengpässe bei 81 Wirkstoffen. Dazu gehörten wichtige Antibiotika, Krebsmedikamente sowie Kinder...

In the first episode of Blood & Cancer, David Henry, MD (http://bit.ly/2MFDfzm), welcomes Richard J. Gralla, MD (http://bit.ly/2ShsxEv), or the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. The topic today centers around antiemetics and ways to use them. And later, Ilana Yurkiewicz, MD (https://stanford.io/2RXPixR), debuts her segment Clinical Correlations all about hematology care. Visit MDedge/hematology-oncology  Show Notes By Emily Bryer, DO Highly emetic chemotherapy regimens include cisplatin, dacarbazine, anthracycline, and cyclophosphamide combinations Treatment should include an NK1 receptor antagonist, dexamethasone, and a 5HT3 antagonist All 5HT3 antagonists should be given only once (no evidence that prn or delayed administration is helpful) Olanzapine is an effective antiemetic, although its precise role and dose are undergoing investigation An all-oral regimen for highly emetic could include Netupitant (NK1) and palonosetron (long-acting 5HT3) (NEPA) + Oral Dex + Olanzapine Moderately emetic chemotherapy regimens include irinotecan and taxotere Treatment should include 5HT3 antagonist and dexamethasone Carboplatin causes more emesis than initially thought Improvement with NK1 antagonist yields a 15% decreased risk of emesis Guidelines now recommending NK1 with carboplatin Low emetic chemotherapy regimens include gemcitabine, pemetrexed as single agent Single drug: one dose of corticosteroid or one dose of 5HT3 antagonist Minimal emetic chemotherapy regimens include vincristine or bleomycin No drugs are recommended for acute or delayed nausea/emesis 20 mg Dexamethasone IV (or 12 mg PO 12 mg) should be administered only on day 1 of chemotherapy. Dexamethasone can be spared after that unless cisplatin (would require 2 days of steroids) Marijuana and THC have some antiemetic properties, but are about one quarter as effective as 5HT3 antagonists Lorazepam may be used in anticipatory emesis started a few days prior to chemotherapy References:  Ann Oncol. 2014 Jul;25(7):1333-9.

 You can reach Dr. Scott at: 757-363-8571 drmscott43@gmail.com http://thyroidvirginiabeach.com Welcome back to another Episode of Waist Away: The Intermittent Fasting Podcast! Today, Chantel is joined by Dr. Mark A. Scott! He has been in private practice here in Virginia Beach, VA since 1996. Chantel and Mark dive into 10 listener submitted questions in this thyroid information filled episode! Sit back, take some notes, and enjoy this Episode of the Intermittent Fasting Podcast! TIMECODES: Question 1- 3:22 Q: It seems like “Gluten-Free” is a big buzz word right now! A lot of my friends eat Gluten Free, and the other day my girl friend told me I should consider eating this way because of my thyroid issues. Could you explain how glutten affects your thyroid? Beth in Virginia Beach A: There is definitely a buzz going around about going gluten free these days! I tell people all the time that no foods should be off limits, UNLESS they negatively affect my body. As for me, I know that when I am only eating gluten in the 20 of my 80/20, my thyroid is going to trying to heal my thyroid, I cut gluten out completely, and went 100% Paleo. Is this sustainable? No, but I recommend people with Thyroid issues doing this for a limited time until they see improvement. Again, I eat gluten now, but it will be included in the 20% of my diet that I am not eating clean. Because of my thyroid issues, I feel better when I’ve cut out gluten, but I know that is not sustainable for the rest of my life, and I don’t like to ever feel deprived. Most doctors would agree that it is good for people with thyroid issues to eliminate or cut back on gluten. Although there are many factors involved in Hashimoto’s (which I was diagnosed with) and other autoimmune and thyroid-related conditions, going gluten-free can provide a huge benefit. Unfortunately, the evidence that those with Hashimoto’s benefit from a gluten-free diet is, so far, anecdotal. That doesn’t mean that it’s not true, just that it hasn’t yet been confirmed with science, or atleast any studies that I can find. My advice would be to try cutting it out for a short amount of time, and see how you feel! I am all about listening to your body! Question 2- 7:03 Q: My online research leads me to believe that I have thyroid issues, but I haven’t been to the doctor yet. Can you do an overview of the symptoms I should be keeping an eye on, and is there a way I can verify without going to the Doctor? Sarah in Arizona A: I compiled my top 10 Symptoms that I have noticed in myself and in others that I talk to. TIRED ALL THE TIME, even if you slept all night. Mood swings, depression or anxiety. Pain in the muscles and joints Being cold ALL the time, esp in your feet and hands. Weight gain, or being unable to lose weight. General hormonal issues- irregular periods, TERRIBLE PMS, low sex drive, and sadly, sometimes infertility Dry skin and hair, brittle nails Swelling in the neck Forgetfulness, haziness, or general brain fog 10.Constipation Those are the big things to look out for, but a lot of these symptoms can be the sign of something else as well, so I think it’s a great idea to check your thyroid at home. I recently purchased a Basal Body Temperature Thermometer. A lot of women use these when they are trying to get pregnant and are tracking their ovulation. They are more sensitive than a regular thermometer and allow you to track more closely.   Question 3- 13:50 Q: I’ve been taking Synthroid for almost a year now. Recently, I have read terrible things online about it. Should I try something more natural like Armor Thyroid? -Erin in Lynchburg A: A lot of people have complained of things like anxiety and irregular heart rate while on Synthroid. Some people also claim that Synthroid may actually worsen your condition, as the synthetic T4 may compete with your body's natural T4 for cellular receptor sites. I personally HATE taking medication of any kind, and hated that every time I went to the Doctor, he was upping my dose of Synthroid. I love that you are looking into a healthy alternatives, just like I was! In a previous podcast, I went deep on how I got myself off of Synthroid using Intermittent Fasting and a paleo diet. As for Armour Thyroid, I haven’t used this personally, but from what I understand, It is a natural product made from animal thyroid glands (usually a pig's). It replaces or provides more T3 and T4 hormones. When I did some research online, I found a lot of people still complaining of negative side effects still relating to their heartbeat, anxiety, periods, etc. Even though it is more natural than Synthroid and is natural, it is still a drug and in my opinion is still going to have some sort of side effect. I would recommend you give the Paleo diet a try if you are looking for the most natural way to get off those drugs, and definitely check out the podcast I did about this!   Question 4- 21:25 Q: What is the difference between T3, T4 and TSH? I’ve been trying to do some reading online all about thyroid and I am not understanding the difference between T3 T4 versus TSH. Can you explain these in an easy fashion where I can understand? -Angela in Pennsylvania A: So you’re your thyroid produces T3 and T4…a lot of people think that the TSH is a thyroid hormone, but it is ACTUALLY a pituitary hormone. TSH is your body’s gauge, or thermometer for the amount of thyroid hormones you have.  A lot of people also assume when their T3 and T4 are low that their TSH is also low, but the OPPOSITE is actually true. There is actually an INVERSE relationship between T3, T4, and TSH. So If your T3 and T4 are high, TSH will go down. And if your TSH is high, T3 and T4 will go down.  So if your pituitary gland senses that your Thyroid Hormones are low or high, it will send out TSH to help regulate it.   It’s actually pretty cool how these two types or hormones work together! Question 5- 27:29 Q: I am having trouble pooping since I’ve been doing intermittent fasting. I’ve always been a terrible pooper, and my thyroid is acting up. Do you think me not pooping has anything to do with my thyroid? Anonymous A: Yes, this absolutely has to do with your thyroid, because your thyroid issues will make you constipated! This is one of my least favorite symptoms of my thyroid issues! Constipation is a classic sign of hypothyroidism. Without enough thyroid hormone, many of the body’s functions slow down, and your digestive track is one of them, as it can weaken the contraction of the muscles lining the tract. Sometimes when I am really struggling and need to go, I will take a fiber drink like Metamucil which helps me. Coffee with coconut oil also helps me get moving, and of course, you will want to make sure you are drinking plenty of water. Question 6- 33:37 Q: I got some blood work done on my liver, and my doctor said that my liver is not in good shape. Do you think that has anything to do with my thyroid ? -Tracy in Chesapeake A: This is such a great question! There are so many people walking around with a thyroid problem but its secondary, or caused by  something else. The liver and thyroid work closely together since the liver converts thyroid hormones. 80% of thyroid functions actually occur through your liver. T4, one of the thyroid hormones we talked about earlier, is actually INACTIVE until the liver activates it to become T-3. So without a liver you cannot convert and make your thyroid work. If  your liver is damaged, chances are that is the source of your thyroid problem. If you have constipation that blocks your liver, that can also be a source of thyroid problems. It’s so amazing the way each part of our body is designed to work closely together. Question 7- 36:24 Q: I’ve noticed lately that my nails are super brittle and they have these little lines on them..I started doing some research online and it seems it could be thyroid related? I read that thyroid issues can also make your skin and hair dry- which mine are! Am I overanalyzing this too much…do I just need some lotion and a manicure! LOL Or do you think this is truly thyroid related? -Ashlyn in North Carolina A: Absolutely this is thyroid related. If there is a problem with a low thyroid, 1,000 enzymes will be blocked. That’s why you don’t have proteins to make healthy hair, you get vertical ridges on your nails, you get cold feet, you have problems with depression, you are tired, have decreased libido, digestive problems, constipation, you crave carbs! All of the symptoms we have previously discussed in this podcast.  So yes, some lotion and a manicure would help but you should definitely take a look at the deeper issue and look at naturally curing your thyroid. Question 8- 38:41 Q: How do I know when I started in a fat burning state? -Tara in Charleston A:  There is no scientific or precise way to figure this out, but what I recommend is to listen for your stomach growling because that’s when you know that your body is emptied out. The reason your stomach growls is because it’s your signal saying  HEY MY STOMACH IS EMPTY! The growling noise is your stomach contracting as it tries to find any food to eat that it may have missed earlier! This process cleans up any food that was missed earlier. When these muscle contractions get going again and your stomach is empty, those gas and air pockets make a lot more noise that you hear as stomach growling. I recommend waiting about two hours after your stomach growls to eat! It  s a great way to burn fat because during that two hours your body  diving into your fat cells and eating your fat for fuel! It is important that you are able to differentiate the sound of your body digesting food right after you ate, versus the empty, hollow sound of a true stomach growl. Question 9- 44:49 Q: Hey guys, I’m so thankful to have your show during my morning commute. Maybe it’s a synchronicity, but most of the questions I have about IF always seem to be answered in your podcast.  I’ve been doing IF for about 3 weeks now, and it’s definitely working for me. I’ve found that I have more energy and I am SOO much less crabby and cranky throughout the day.  I know you’ve mentioned PCOS in previous podcasts, and the advice was super helpful. I’ve recently starting feeling some changes in the way my body feels that I relate to my cycle: tender bosom (I love using that word whenever I get the chance lol), slight cramping, and other PMS-like symptoms (mood and cravings). I had my cycle just before starting IF, so experiencing these symptoms this “soon” is a bit out of character for my body. I have extremely irregular periods and I’m curious to know what about IF contributes to managing PCOS, if anything at all. I also was curious to know if you have ever heard of taking Metformin for PCOS (I’m not a diabetic, nor do I have any other ailments, outside of PCOS.) My midwife/nurse practitioner (I’m not pregnant, just prefer a midwife over doc for womanly care) suggests I should take Metformin to help regulate my periods, as an option outside of BC. I’m a little unsure if I want to go this route as I am usually hesitant to take medications “unnecessarily.” I’m not severely afflicted w/ PCOS, but it definitely causes me to be very irregular in my cycle. Do you think this could interfere with my IF journey, or do you think it could be an assistant to the benefits of IF? Any advice/info/opinions you have would be awesome! Jazzmin - MiamiA: Congratulations on 3 weeks of IF! I am so happy to hear that you are seeing great results. Keep up the great work! So PCOS is something that I have struggled with, and we discuss it in good detail in a previous podcast, which Jazzmin is referring to. If you missed that one, definitely go back and listen! The first part of the question, you’re talking about how you feel as if you are starting your period a little early, since you had one right before starting IF and have been doing it for 3 weeks. Most people will find that anytime you dramatically change your eating habits, IE going full Paleo, or cutting out carbs, etc, or change your eating patterns, IE Intermittent Fasting, you will see a little shift in your period. When I first started IF I noticed my period was irregular for a few months until it finally balanced out, it has been super regular ever since! The reason for this is really simple and actually good! Fat stores estrogen, so any time you start disrupting your fat stores, you are likely to have some cycle disruption as well. So while an early period may stink, it means that your body is eating it’s fat stores! Stick it out, and you will find that it regulates soon. As for Metformin, I have heard of people taking this as an alternative to birth control. It has not been approved by the FDA for treatment of PCOS, but many doctors are prescribing it for PCOS treatment because women with PCOS often have elevated insulin levels and are more likely to develop diabetes. SO…it will definitely help! But You will not enjoy some of the other “benefits” of Birth Control such as…..birth control LOL obviously, it won’t prevent pregnancy, and also it won’t help you with the excess facial hair that many women with PCOS experience. But you also won’t have to worry about the negative effects of birth control that some people complain about such as  weight gain, and more dangerous, blood clots. As Metformin relates to IF, I can’t find any research that leads me to believe that it would interfere with IF in a negative way. But, I do recommend taking it with your first meal of the day, and not on an empty stomach. Like I mentioned in the podcast where we talked about  PCOS, and as my doctor told me, if you struggle with PCOS the absolute best thing you can do for your body is to be at your ideal “healthy” weight and I am not sure where you are weight wise, but I know that since you started your IF journey three weeks ago, you are well on your way if not there already.  Question 10- 51:07 Q: I have noticed I am staying up a lot later at night not sure if it is from the IF?  Perhaps I have more energy or something and sometimes it is hard to wind down.  Right now it is after 1 am and a few nights I was up to after 3 and could not fall asleep until around 4 or 5.  I already have to take 50 mg of lorazepam most nights to stop me from thinking so I can sleep.  It would be great if I could get off of that also.  I have only had to take it for the last several years, I am 61.  Before that I slept just fine.  I don't drink much coffee maybe half a cup twice a day especially on the days I did not get enough sleep.  I also try to do 1 cup of decaf green tea and sometimes one of the sleepy time teas later in the evening.  I can go several days with no coffee so not sure why I am wound up longer at night?  Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks again so much!  Have a blessed weekend! Jean A: Well Jean, you are a lot like me!!! As I say over and over again, I hate taking drugs unnecessarily too, and I can relate to you wanting to get off that Lorazepam. You didn’t mention in the question how long you have been Intermittent Fasting, but if you are newer to the Intermittent Fasting lifestyle, unfortunately this can be normal while your body gets adjusted. I’ve heard several reasons for this, one is that when you are fasting your body is hyped up on adrenaline. You didn’t mention what exactly your eating window is, but if you are eating your last meal 4-5 hours before bedtime, you could try bumping your eating window up an hour or so later and seeing if this helps. Another reason is increased caffeine intake- a lot of people will drink extra caffeine when they are fasting, but it sounds like this is not the issue for you, you’ve really cut back on your caffeine intake, it sounds. The only thing I would say in that department is maybe stick to strictly sleepy time tea in the evening, as sometimes even in Decaf Green Tea there will be traces of caffeine. You didn’t mention in your question if you work out or not, but if you are working out in the second half of the day, you may find that this is making it difficult for you to wind down. I recommend working out in the morning if your schedule allows..I start my day with a workout at 5:45 every day and for this reason, I NEVER have an issue falling asleep at night! Overall, I think that as your body becomes more accustomed to the Intermittent Fasting lifestyle, you will find yourself sliding back into your old sleeping patterns. In the meantime, you could also take something natural like Melatonin, or try something I LOVE to do at night, and that is to diffuse Lavender essential oils by my bed.
