Mosquitoes Learning to Like DEET, Liver as Pigeon Compass, Counterclockwise Walking Preference, and Neuropathy Treatment After Chemotherapy

Broadcast on KSQD, Santa Cruz on 6-18-2026:>/p> Dr. Dawn opens with Virginia Tech research showing yellow fever mosquitoes can learn to associate DEET with blood meals after just four pairings, with over 60% of trained mosquitoes lunging at DEET alone. She emphasizes using DEET at sufficient concentration since under-application could teach mosquitoes a "life lesson" that compromises one of our best protections against malaria, dengue, and Zika. A controversial new theory from the University of Bonn proposes that iron-rich macrophages in the pigeon liver serve as the long-elusive magnetic compass. Pigeons given drugs that wiped out their liver macrophages became completely disoriented when released on a cloudy day, though critics argue the trace iron is too weakly magnetic and birds may have been agitated by the drug itself. A COVID-era crowd-movement study found that in 32 of 33 trials, people preferred to turn counterclockwise regardless of handedness or culture (Spain and Japan). Animals show no such bias, suggesting a uniquely human biochemical asymmetry—Dr. Dawn speculates this may relate to left-hemisphere language centers near the inner ear, and notes racetracks worldwide run counterclockwise. A caller in Ben Lomond reports mouth irritation from FYGG nanohydroxyapatite toothpaste. Dr. Dawn suspects bystander ingredients (flavorings, paste-consistency agents) rather than the hydroxyapatite itself—which acts as remineralizing "grout" filling tiny tooth cracks—and recommends switching to a different fluoride-free brand like Tom's after the caller confirmed reaction on rechallenge. The same caller asks about turmeric liver toxicity. Dr. Dawn explains that reputable companies following good manufacturing practices stay within 5-10% accuracy on dosing, and her recommended dose (one teaspoon turmeric, one-eighth teaspoon black pepper, around 5g daily) stays far below toxic levels. Curcumin inhibits NF-kappa-B, the master switch for inflammatory cascades. An emailer in Bonny Doon asks about treating chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Dr. Dawn recommends electrical acupuncture which works more than half the time, combined with methylated B12 (2,000 micrograms daily), methylated folate (1,000 micrograms twice daily), alpha lipoic acid (300mg twice daily, also effective for tinnitus), and acetyl-L-carnitine (1,500mg daily). She also recommends photomodulation devices using 635nm red light with near-infrared. A caller raises magnetic field effects on humans. Dr. Dawn discusses human adaptability, referencing Chernobyl black moths that increased melanin epigenetically and ongoing efforts to upregulate radiation-resistance genes via mRNA for future space travel. The conversation turns to evolution of unique human hair patterns, with Dr. Dawn proposing sexual selection (armpit/pubic hair for pheromones) and neoteny (women's facial smoothness resembling infants triggering protective responses) as explanations. Dr. Dawn responds to a crowdsourced question about why Santa Cruz "makes people weird," attributing it to the area's low penalties for aberrant behavior and high tolerance for nonconformity. She explains how mirroring within small subgroups creates internal conformity even amid outward "weirdness," with sixties counterculture as a foundational influence. For another crowdsourced question on vitamins for women in their mid-twenties, Dr. Dawn recommends prenatal vitamins because they include extra iron for menstruating women plus adequate B vitamins. For those eating standard American diets or in dorms, she suggests B100 complex, 500mg calcium, and vitamin C.

In this week's episode, Blood editor Dr. Laurie Sehn interviews Drs. Reuben Kapur and Robert Campbell on their latest articles published in Blood. This episode highlights two groundbreaking studies exploring how inflammation drives serious blood and immune-related diseases. In the first interview, Dr. Kapur discusses how inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can both promote and worsen clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), with large-scale human data and mouse models identifying REF1 as a key mediator and potential therapeutic target. The second segment features Dr. Campbell, who explains how heme released during malaria infection activates platelet mTOR signaling, intensifying cerebral malaria and suggesting new avenues for platelet-targeted treatments. Together, the conversations reveal how inflammatory pathways and immune signaling contribute to disease progression while opening the door to novel precision therapies.

This week, Aebhric is again joined by Zach Andrews, who leads the latest episode of CoROM Conversations, which explores the recognition and management of severe malaria in resource-limited and austere environments. Drawing on field-relevant clinical reasoning, the discussion focuses on the progression from uncomplicated to life-threatening disease, with emphasis on Plasmodium falciparum as the primary driver of severe pathology.The conversation highlights the diagnostic challenges faced by remote medics, where laboratory confirmation may be delayed or unavailable, and underscores the importance of clinical pattern recognition, early intervention, and ongoing reassessment. Particular attention is given to complications such as cerebral malaria, severe anaemia, metabolic acidosis, and hypoglycaemia—all of which significantly increase mortality if not rapidly addressed.From a prolonged field care perspective, the episode integrates pragmatic strategies for stabilisation, monitoring, and evacuation decision-making. It reinforces the need for structured patient assessment using frameworks such as CABCDEFGH, along with trending vital signs over time. The discussion ultimately bridges tropical medicine with austere critical care, offering actionable insights for medics operating far from definitive care.Key Learning PointsSevere malaria is a time-critical diagnosis, most commonly associated with Plasmodium falciparum, requiring immediate treatment even before confirmatory testing.Red flag features include altered mental status, respiratory distress, severe anaemia, hypoglycaemia, and shock.Hypoglycaemia is both a complication of malaria and a side effect of treatment (e.g., quinine), necessitating frequent glucose monitoring.In austere environments, clinical diagnosis often precedes laboratory confirmation, requiring high suspicion in febrile patients with travel or endemic exposure.Fluid management must be cautious, balancing the risks of hypovolaemia and pulmonary oedema.Prolonged care requires integration of nursing principles (HITMAN, SHEEP VOMIT) to prevent secondary deterioration.Early administration of parenteral antimalarials (e.g., artesunate where available) is critical to survival.Evacuation planning should be initiated early, but delays must not postpone life-saving interventions.Timestamps00:00 – IntroductionOverview of the case and relevance to austere medicine02:30 – Pathophysiology of Severe MalariaMechanisms of microvascular obstruction and organ dysfunction06:00 – Clinical PresentationRecognising early vs severe disease in the field10:30 – Assessment FrameworksApplying structured approaches (CABCDEFGH, CPRO, BEAST)15:00 – Management PrioritiesAntimalarials, glucose, fluids, and airway considerations20:30 – Complications and MonitoringCerebral malaria, acidosis, anaemia, and respiratory failure25:00 – Prolonged Field Care ConsiderationsNursing care, documentation, and trending30:00 – Evacuation and Decision-MakingWhen and how to move the patient33:00 – Key Takeaways and Closing ThoughtsClinical Pearls / Take-Home MessagesTreat first, confirm later: In suspected severe malaria, delays in treatment increase mortality.Check glucose early and often: Hypoglycaemia can be rapidly fatal and easily missed.Think beyond fever: Altered mental status or respiratory changes may be the first sign of severe disease.Your greatest tool is reassessment: Trends in vital signs are more valuable than single data points.Good nursing care saves lives: Positioning, hydration, hygiene, and monitoring are critical in prolonged care environments.Suggested ReferencesWorld Health Organization.

In this episode, we're joined by Dr Kate Wylie, GP and Executive Director of Doctors for the Environment Australia, and a long-time friend of the show. One of Australia's leading voices on climate and health, Kate helps us unpack the United Nations' Global Water Bankruptcy report and what it means for all of us.Put simply: we are running out of water. We're using more than we have in supply, so much that in many places we're pushing past the point of recovery and can't repay our debts. Driven by climate change, over-extraction, and pollution, this growing ‘water bankruptcy' is fuelling food and water insecurity, disease, and deepening global inequities.Closer to home, we explore what this looks like in Australia, from the declining Murray-Darling to pressures on the Great Artesian Basin, and why this crisis is as much about public health as it is about the environment.A sharp, urgent conversation about one of the defining challenges of our time and the role we all must play in protecting the resource that underpins life itself.In this episode, we discuss:Kate's background and her work at the intersection of human and planetary healthThe UN's Global Water Bankruptcy report and Kate's recent InSight+ article outlining what this means for us in AustraliaOur unsustainable water use and the industries driving the greatest extractionThe deep inequities of water insecurity, with the Global South bearing the greatest burdenKey health concerns, including unsafe drinking water, food insecurity, and the mental health effects of droughtRising risks of vector-borne diseases like Malaria, Dengue Fever, and Ross River VirusThe dual extremes of drought and flooding, and their impact on food systems and livelihoodsAustralia's unique challenges as the driest inhabited continent, and the need for more sustainable agricultureGrowing strain on critical systems, from the Murray-Darling Basin to the Great Artesian Basin, and flow-on effects like South Australia's algal bloomThe hidden water and energy costs of modern technology, including AI and cloud computing, and why we can't ‘tech' our way out of thisThe critical role of health professionals in advocating for climate and water securityWhy climate and environmental health must be embedded in medical educationThe vital work of Doctors for the Environment Australia and their latest advocacy efforts, including an open letter to Australian governments calling for an end to our dependence on global oil—add your name to the submission hereTo view all the links to the websites and documents, visit the show notes on our website.Please support our work and enable us to deliver more content by buying us a coffee or becoming a member of Athletes for Nature.Follow us on Instagram and Facebook, subscribe to this podcast, and share this episode with your friends and family.

“Malaria is an all of society challenge. When you look at the environmental issues, addressing the breeding sites for mosquitoes, it's an all of society issue…it is not just the responsibility of the heads of state.”Daniel Dadzie hears from Joy Phumaphi, Executive Secretary of the African Leaders Malaria Alliance, or ALMA.ALMA was founded with the goal of eradicating malaria in Africa by 2030. Now, Joy Phumaphi concedes this is not going to happen. In fact, she says only a few countries across the continent will hit this target, thanks to a “perfect storm” of climate change, insecticide and drug resistance, spiralling costs and cuts in aid. She also highlights the risk that private sector development projects can create breeding grounds for mosquitoes.

Malaria är en av världens mest envisa sjukdomar. Trots nya mediciner och behandlingar fortsätter den att slå tillbaka – vissa behandlingar är svåra att använda, farliga, eller tappar snabbt sin effekt när parasiten blir resistent. Varför är malaria så svår att besegra? Parasitologen Ellen Bushell berättar om sjukdomens komplexitet och om de metoder som faktiskt fungerar. Hon förklarar vad forskarna har lärt sig, och varför det fortfarande finns hopp om att en dag vinna kampen mot malaria.Foto: Mattias Petterson/UmU. Hosted on Acast.

Gummy Supplement Warnings, Psilocybin Drug Development, Ketamine's Brain Mechanism, Root Canals and Cholesterol, and the Gut-Brain Axis

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 3-19-2026: Dr. Dawn warns that stacking multiple gummy supplements can cause GI distress from sugar alcohols like xylitol, sorbitol, and mannitol, with symptoms persisting up to three days after stopping. She recommends limiting sugar alcohol intake to 6mg daily and switching to non-gummy formulations if experiencing bloating, cramping, or diarrhea. An emailer asks about finding treatment for abdominophrenic dyssynergia, a condition causing progressive abdominal distension after meals. Dr. Dawn recommends using AI search to locate physical therapy centers offering EMG-guided biofeedback, and suggests ruling out SIBO and low stomach acid. Researchers at the American Chemical Society have created modified psilocybin variants designed to release the active compound more slowly, potentially reducing hallucinogenic effects while maintaining therapeutic benefits. Dr. Dawn expresses concern that such patentable alternatives could prevent legalization of natural psilocybin for addiction treatment. Japanese researchers used PET imaging to discover that ketamine rapidly relieves treatment-resistant depression by altering the distribution of AMPAR glutamate receptors in the brain. Within two weeks, patients' receptor patterns normalized to resemble healthy controls, with enduring changes tracking symptom improvement. A study found CBD and CBG improved fatty liver disease markers in mice by increasing phosphocreatine energy reserves and reactivating cellular recycling centers. Dr. Dawn notes the compounds were injected directly into the abdominal cavity, making the results impossible to translate to oral consumption, an example of headlines exceeding reality. King's College London research found that root canal treatment for apical periodontitis improved blood sugar, cholesterol, and inflammation markers over two years. Dr. Dawn advises regular flossing and periodically tapping teeth with a metal instrument to detect painful teeth needing attention. An emailer asks about Crohn's disease and the gut-brain axis. Dr. Dawn explains that the vagus nerve serves as a bidirectional highway between brain and gut, with gut bacteria producing serotonin that affects mood, while stress increases intestinal permeability and worsens inflammation. In medical news of the weird, scientists discovered that malaria parasites contain tiny iron crystals powered by hydrogen peroxide—the same fuel used in rockets. This first-ever biological self-propelled nanoparticle could inspire new approaches to powering medical nanobots.

Inevitable.Sicily. Caravaggio paints like a man on fire. In Syracuse, a burial. In Messina, a nativity. Each canvas more desperate than the last. Each one a confession he cannot say out loud. The genius is still there. The man holding the brush is disappearing.Back in Rome, the news arrives. Lena. The woman whose face launched his greatest work. Gone. Caravaggio learns what it costs to leave someone behind in a city that devours the unprotected.Cardinal Del Monte makes his final play. A pardon. A real one. Signed by the Pope himself. But the pardon needs a delivery and Caravaggio needs to stay alive long enough to receive it.Naples. A prison cell. Malaria. Chains. The Grand Master finds him one last time.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Sheena: Hi Dr C! Hope you and your team are well. I've been hearing a lot about colostrum lately and it piqued my interest. Can you speak a little about it? Do you use it? Is there a brand you would recommend? Is it safe for anyone? Who should avoid it? Side effects? I take a probiotic everyday, can colostrum replace this?? Looking forward to hearing your response. Thanks in advance!                                                                                                                                                         Frankie: Hi Stephen, My name is Frankie Im 21 years old, and I wanted to follow up from Episode 3382, where you mentioned my symptoms could be connected to gut issues, low vitamin D, magnesium, metals, or GERD. Since then, I followed a strict LPR diet for about two months  no gluten, coffee, alcohol, peanuts, oats, onions, garlic, broccoli, beans, etc. My LPR symptoms improved by around 70%, and while I still have some mucus in my throat, its nowhere near as potent as before. During and after the protocol, I focused on rebuilding my gut with some gut-rebuilding supplements and slowly reintroducing foods. Its now been about three months since finishing the protocol, and Ive gained around 14 pounds. I also still deal with loose stool almost every day, which hasnt improved much. It’s honestly shocked me because Im very dialed in with both my food and workouts, yet the weight gain and digestive changes still happened. I wanted to get your thoughts on what direction to take from here. I havent run the Big 5 protocol since Im based in Canada, and it would end up costing quite a bit more with shipping and exchange rates. Also, I just wanted to mention its surprising how many young people my age are struggling with digestive and gut related issues. Its becoming way too common. Thanks again for all the work you do, and I hope you have a great day I listen to you every morning. Frankie     Gary: Hi Dr. Cabral. Im 49, male & over the last 4 years taken a deep interest in my health. I had cerebral malaria (2003) & as a result developed essential tremor both hands. Listened to 2 podcasts & working on noticeable triggers like ltd caffeine & alcohol. It hasnt got worse, but really is there any way to reverse it? Neurologist says surgery has no guarantee.  I would value the truth & if it were your wife what you would do please. So much life ahead 🙏 (PS. Partner is an IHP so DESTRESS at the heart of our approach) we want to do EVERYTHING we can. Thank you     Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral - so excited about your new Pea Protein, got great feedback from the support team, however would love your response. Pea Protein safe for kids? Since DNS is I would approach it in same way, Dr. AI says generally kids get enough from food so not recommended… Do you give this to your daughters in same way you have it? Ie a little more protein in smoothies *daily* or just in baked goods like pancakes occasionally. Thank you! Happy holidays      Anonymous: What are some ways to improve gut motility, I'm already on a supplement program and ginger tea. Any thoughts on massage abdominal, hot stones, any other physical techniqes?     Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3634 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

In the past decade there has been little progress in lowering malaria cases, with over half a million people still dying from the mosquito-borne disease every year. We look at the big ideas and innovations of the future that could help us eliminate malaria once and for all. What would happen if we got rid of the insect responsible for spreading the malaria parasite? Claudia heads to Imperial College London where she is joined by Dr Federica Bernardini and their 120 colonies of mosquitos to find out how revolutionary genetic technologies are aiming to do just that.Picking up on Imperial's work in the field is Principal Investigator at Target Malaria in Uganda, Dr Jonathan Kayondo. His job is to understand what it would mean to release these modified mosquitos into the wild.Looking at the existing tools that need levelling up is Dr Rob Moon, from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, and Dr James Tibenderana, Chief Executive at the Malaria Consortium. Alongside Claudia they look at the next generation of vaccines and the importance of accessible rapid diagnostic tests.But is all this going to be enough to eliminate malaria?
