Podcast appearances and mentions of Marcia Angell

Sponsored by: Organifi, WeNatal, biOptimizers, BIRTHFIT, Immune Intel AHCC, Rosemary MeranWe thought it we had it bad in the U.S. during the COVID "moment", but Canada had its socks rocked off. Fortunately a group of scientists and healthcare workers turned freedom fighters in our mighty neighbor to the North have joined forces to provide much-needed data and insights from what we know (and don't know) about the new mRNA vaccines advertised to "halt the spread of SARS-CoV-2" in order to support family autonomy and re-boot truly informed consent. This alliance is called the Candian Covid Care Alliance (CCCA)In this mini-sode, you'll hear from two of the CCCA freedom fighters. Mary Sharpe, RM, MEd, PhD, is a highly experienced midwife and an original rebel in the renaissance of midwifery in Ontario, Canada, as well as a professor of midwifery. Deanna McLeod is the principal and founder of Kaleidoscope Strategic Inc., an independent medical research firm that supports Canadian clinicians in preparing world class evidence-based reviews that advance patient care nationally and internationally in the areas of oncology, premed immunology and psychology. In March 2021, she launched COVID Sense to equip the non-scientific person with the skills required to interpret COVID-19 data and make informed choices for themselves and others. She has authored over 46 scientific publications. Ms. McLeod is also the Chair of the Strategic Advisory Committee of the CCCA.Qatar studyDissolving Illusions, by Suzanne Humphries et alThe Truth About the Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It, by Marcia Angell, MD The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine: Exposing the crisis of credibility in clinical research, by Jon Jureidini et alSupport Mary's and Deanna's work at the Canadian COVID Care AllianceDeanna's data-heavy presentation at the World Council for HealthConnect with me:Instagram ⁠⁠TikTokMy PracticeEnroll in the Born Free Method, my pregnancy/postpartum course⁠My favorite brands⁠ Medical Disclaimer: The Holistic OBGYN Podcast is an educational program.

"It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of TheNew England Journal of Medicine." Corruption, conflicts of interest, and biases pervade the medical field, with billions of dollars spent each year to mislead the public about the safety and efficacy of drugs.

But OxyContin did not give rise to opioid addiction, although it jump-started the current epidemic. Heroin has been a common street drug ever since it was banned in 1924. Morphine has also been widely abused. Nor would taking OxyContin off the market end the epidemic. The overwhelming majority of opioid deaths are caused not by OxyContin but by combinations of fentanyl, heroin, and cocaine, often brought in from China via Mexican cartels, and frequently taken along with benzodiazepines (such as Valium or Xanax) and alcohol. These drugs are cheaper and stronger, particularly fentanyl. Fentanyl was first synthesized in 1960, and soon became widely used as an anesthetic and powerful painkiller. It is legally manufactured and highly effective when used appropriately, often for short medical procedures such as colonoscopies. The illicit production and street use is relatively new, but it is now the main cause of most opioid-related deaths (nearly 90 percent in Massachusetts). The steady increase in opioid deaths after OxyContin came on the market has been supplanted by a much faster increase starting around 2013, when heroin and fentanyl use increased dramatically. We now have two epidemics—the overuse of prescription drugs and the much more deadly and now largely unrelated epidemic of street drugs. By concentrating on the first, we are closing the barn door after the horse is long gone. https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2018/12/06/opioid-nation/ Julia Lovell writes in her excellent 2015 book, The Opium War: Drugs, Dreams, and the Making of Modern China: The missionaries became natural allies of the smugglers: when they first arrived on the coast of China, they docked among opium traders on the island of Lintin; they interpreted for them in exchange for passages up the coast, distributing tracts while the drug was taken onshore; and in the Chinese Repository, Canton's leading English-language publication, they shared a forum for spreading their views on the urgent need to open China, by whatever means necessary. By the 1830s, merchants and missionaries alike favoured violence. ‘[W]hen an opponent supports his argument with physical force, [the Chinese] can be crouching, gentle, and even kind', observed Karl Gützlaff, a stout Pomeranian missionary who would, during the Opium War, lead the British military occupation of parts of eastern China, running armies of Chinese spies and collaborators. The slightest provocation would do. In 1831, traders had written to the government in India, demanding a fleet of warships to avenge the Chinese authorities' partial demolition of a front garden that the British had illegally requisitioned…

Her work is cited in many professional articles and publications. She holds degrees from MIT and her medical degree from the Mississippi School of Medicine.  Dr Nass' website where she blogs is AnthraxVaccine.blogspot.com   Vera Sharav is one of our most passionate street fighters against the pharmaceutical industry and advocate for the rights of medical research subjects. She is the founding President of the Alliance for Human Research Protection. A Holocaust survivor at a young age, Vera has exposed the experimental use of HIV drugs on toddlers in New York's foster care system, the suicide risks of antidpressants, and pressured the National Institutes of Health to reevaluate its protocols on psychiatric trials to protect patients and participants. Her determination to protect the public also resulted in the Environmental Protection Agency suspending its pesticide experiment on children. She has testified and appeared on panels with the Institute of Medicine, the federal National Bioethics Advisory Committee and the FDA.  Speak of Vera, Marcia Angell at Harvard and the former Chief Editor of the New England Journal of Medicine, described as "someone the research establishment badly needs."  Vera's website with the Alliance for Human Research Protection is AHRP.org
