6/3/2025 | This day's featured sermon on SermonAudio: Title: Marijuana Use in America – Should Christians Do Drugs? Subtitle: Should Christians Do Drugs? Speaker: Kevin Swanson Broadcaster: Generations Radio Event: Radio Broadcast Date: 5/13/2025 Length: 39 min.

Daily marijuana use is much higher than daily alcohol use in America today. While it's important for Christians not to simply have a knee-jerk reaction to things like gambling or drunkenness, and completely swing the other way, what does the Bible say about the use of drugs like marijuana? The Bible says, "strong drink for the dying." Are there really 17 million people (number of daily marijuana users) in America on the death trajectory today? And, if not, what does this high use of marijuana say about the hopelessness of Americans?This program includes:1.

Tuesday, May 13 -  Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss the biggest news stories in the medical world, starting with the good news for celiac disease and gluten intolerance sufferers that the act of kissing does NOT pose an increased risk of cross contamination with gluten. That's the good news. Unfortunately, some bad news found in a new study of how cinnamon might affect how our bodies absorb medication and how much cinnamon is too much cinnamon, a new report found an increase in doctors quitting their field over burnout, and the use of meal delivery services that may be able to help you maintain better health and improve your at-home eating habits. Then, the conversation shifts to if plastics making their way into our bodies and affecting our health, a major food recall with Martinelli's apple juice related to mold toxins, and an unpredicted bonus effects Ozempic and Wegovy users are finding in the reverse of fatty liver disease. The conversation shifts to the benefits of marijuana use while pregnant. Spoiler Alert  There aren't enough pros that outweigh the risk. Doug and Dr. Ken agree against pregnant women using marijuana products. Lastly, Doug and Dr. Ken address listener questions, including how to find out which supplements are best for you and how much to take, and how to reduce stress. Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Tiny pacemakers the size of a rice grain are revolutionizing care for premature infants with heart rhythm issues. These remarkable devices, which dissolve naturally after about a week, eliminate the need for risky removal surgery and represent a fascinating frontier in medical technology. Though currently benefiting a small number of children globally, the underlying innovations promise broader applications across healthcare.Meanwhile, scientific research continues confirming the harmful effects of recreational marijuana on male fertility. THC significantly alters sperm morphology, potentially dropping viability below the threshold needed for reproduction. This raises challenging questions about why societies continue legalizing substances despite mounting evidence of health risks, and connects to broader concerns about declining fertility rates worldwide.The growing trend of "longevity clinics" charging thousands monthly for anti-aging treatments and "peak performance" optimization highlights our culture's obsession with extending earthly life. These luxury wellness centers cater to wealthy clients seeking to maximize their years, yet they prompt deeper reflection on what truly matters. As we discuss these clinics, we explore the contrast between pursuing a longer physical existence versus embracing an eternal perspective that transforms how we view our time on earth.Perhaps most thought-provoking is our examination of an ancient sacrificial altar discovered in Guatemala, where archaeologists found remains of young children. This archaeological finding opens a window into historical practices that modern observers find horrifying, yet some academics contextualize these atrocities through cultural relativism rather than moral clarity. We consider parallels between ancient sacrificial systems and contemporary attitudes toward vulnerable populations, reflecting on which lives our society deems "expendable" and why Christianity offers a unique perspective on sacrifice that upends these cultural patterns.What do our technological pursuits, medical breakthroughs, and archaeological discoveries reveal about our deepest values? Join us for this wide-ranging conversation that challenges listeners to consider how we define human worth across time, technology, and culture. SHOW NOTES:The Tiniest Pacemaker: The pacemaker is the size of a grain of rice and can be inserted with a syringe. It is activated by pulses of light placed on the surface of the chest over the pacemaker. It is designed for temporary use and dissolves away when no longer needed. (Source: https://tinyurl.com/26z4fwvl accessed 4-3-25)Marijuana Use Harmful to Male Fertility: The morphology (shape) of sperm directly relates to its effectiveness in fertilizing an egg. According to the World Health Organization, having as little as 4% of sperm with normal morphology is considered sufficient for fertility under strict criteria. A typical non-smoking male has a 7% normal morphology sperm, with 52% of the sperm being immobile. A cigarette smoker (at least one pack/day for ten years) has 5% normal morphology sperm with 59% of it being immobile. A marijuana smoker (four joints/week for three years) had a 2% sperm that had normal morphology, and 69% of it was immobile. Male infertility in the United States has risen from about 6-7% to 11.4% over the past 50 years. While many factors are believed to cause this drop in fertility,The Balance of GrayGod, doubt, and proof walk into a podcast... it goes better than you'd expect!Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Tuesday, April 29 -  Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken start the episode with a focus on more evidence of the effects of marijuana use and an increased risk of dementia diagnosis because the marijuana of today is not like it was “back in the day,” a study out of Harvard Medical School finding a disturbing link between coffee and Alzheimer's, and a study out of the Journal of the American Medical Association finds a clear link between hearing loss and early dementia. Then, the conversation shifts to RFK Jr.'s plans to reverse the CDC's COVID-19 vaccine recommendations, especially as it applies to children. Doug and Dr. Ken also discuss a warning for parents and guardians of small children in a crib as some crib mattresses are being found to release harmful chemicals, why cramming exercise into 1 or 2 days is just as beneficial as spreading it out over the week — with 150 minutes of vigorous exercise a week being beneficial. Other topics Doug and Dr. Ken cover are the dangers teenage girls face because of social media, good news that more people diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer can continue to live many more years with lifestyle and dietary changes, the latest news on measles cases, how mustard effects cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and how lubricating eye drops can help battle eye strain. Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

The focal point of our discussion today centers on the profound insights regarding the detrimental effects of marijuana, as elucidated by Dr. Raymond Wiggins in his recently published work, "Weeding out the Myths about Marijuana." Dr. Wiggins, drawing from his extensive expertise as both a medical professional and a minister, provides a compelling analysis of marijuana's impact on mental and physical health, revealing alarming statistics regarding its correlation with increased risks of anxiety, psychosis, and heart issues. Through a personal narrative intertwined with professional observations, he underscores the critical need for a reevaluation of prevailing perceptions surrounding marijuana as a benign substance. Our conversation delves into the societal implications of marijuana legalization, as well as the spiritual dimensions that inform Dr. Wiggins' perspective on addiction and recovery. Ultimately, we aspire to illuminate the urgent necessity of addressing these misconceptions in our communities for the betterment of public health and well-being.The discourse unfolds with a profound exploration of personal adversity articulated through a poignant anecdote from Dr. Raymond Wiggins' formative years. A significant piece of advice from a mentor, encapsulated in the phrase 'a calm sea never made a skillful sailor,' serves as a thematic cornerstone for the discussion. This metaphor underlines the essential role of challenges in personal development and resilience. Dr. Wiggins reflects on his own life, particularly the adversities faced by his family concerning substance abuse, and how these experiences have equipped him to minister to others in similar predicaments. The conversation deftly weaves between personal narrative and broader societal implications, emphasizing the importance of using one's trials as a foundation for helping others navigate their own challenges. As the dialogue progresses, Dr. Wiggins recounts his diverse academic and professional journey, transitioning from a business degree to a medical career in oral and maxillofacial surgery, ultimately embracing a calling towards ministry. His multifaceted background enriches the conversation, highlighting the intersection of medicine and spirituality in addressing contemporary issues surrounding substance use and addiction, particularly in relation to marijuana.Takeaways: The best piece of advice received was that a calm sea never made a skillful sailor, highlighting the importance of adversity in personal growth. The speaker shared personal experiences with family adversity related to addiction, emphasizing that such experiences can prepare one to help others. The podcast discussed the significant changes in the medical field, specifically in anesthesia, over the past three decades, including advancements in medication and imaging technology. The speaker's new book addresses misconceptions about marijuana and discusses its negative impact on mental health, including increased anxiety and risk of psychosis. Legalization of marijuana is argued to lead to an increase in addiction, psychiatric issues, and other social problems, countering popular belief. The importance of incorporating biblical principles into discussions around marijuana use was emphasized, suggesting that spiritual guidance can aid in overcoming addiction.

“We did it, and we turned out ok.” Perhaps you've heard that line of reasoning from other parents regarding today's teens and marijuana use. In fact, a government survey indicates that since 2015, the number of parents who believe there is a risk of harm from using marijuana has dropped, from just over thirty percent of parents, to just over twenty percent today. But researchers and medical professionals will tell you that we should actually be more concerned about the risks from marijuana use, as the impact of smoking today's marijuana is actually greater on the developing and vulnerable brains of our kids. Experts report that in the 1960's, the THC content of marijuana was two to three percent. Today, it is twenty percent or more, making it ten times more potent. Doctors are seeing increased psychotic events attributed to this increased potency. Parents, monitor your kids, and don't approve of the use of marijuana or any other substances kids are choosing to abuse.

An Alaska Airlines plane departing Nashville delayed its takeoff to avoid a collision with a Southwest Airlines plane. And millions are impacted by extreme wildfires in California, with three major wildfires in the southern part of the state. Plus, older patients are using marijuana, oftentimes for the first time for medical reasons, including chronic pain. 

September 13, 2024 ~ More older Michigan residents are using marijuana. Jerry Millen, owner of Greenhouse in Walled Lake, joins Kevin to discuss this.

Bryn Spejcher, a 32-year-old California woman convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the fatal stabbing of Chad O'Melia, 26, is appealing her conviction, claiming she was deceived into using marijuana before the deadly attack. Spejcher's conviction stems from a tragic incident where she stabbed O'Melia 108 times before also harming her dog and herself. Despite the severity of the crime, she received a sentence of two years on probation and 100 hours of community service, a punishment she and her legal team deem inadequate. In an exclusive interview with The Daily Mail, Spejcher revealed her intentions to appeal, arguing that O'Melia, whom she had been dating, coerced her into consuming marijuana. She claimed that she had expressed her lack of romantic interest in him just two days before the incident. According to Spejcher, O'Melia pressured her into using a potent strain of marijuana despite her limited experience with the drug. She alleges that he manipulated her into taking additional hits, leading to a drastic and unforeseen reaction that resulted in the fatal assault. Spejcher's attorney, Michael Goldstein, maintains that her intoxication was involuntary and a direct result of O'Melia's deceit. Goldstein cited expert testimony during the trial, which characterized the violent outburst as unpredictable and unforeseeable. The defense argues that the marijuana involved had an exceptionally high THC level of 31.8%, far beyond what Spejcher had previously used. They emphasized the lack of public health warnings regarding the potential for psychosis and violence associated with such potent strains. Despite the legal maneuvering, O'Melia's family remains dissatisfied with the outcome of the criminal proceedings, advocating for a harsher punishment and planning to pursue a civil case against Spejcher, scheduled for the coming weeks. O'Melia's father, who led a protest outside the courthouse during Spejcher's sentencing hearing, expressed profound disappointment with the justice system's handling of the case. He lamented that his son and their family were denied justice, as Spejcher received only two years of probation and 100 hours of community service. "We feel completely failed by the system," O'Melia's father told Fox News in January. "Not only did my son not receive justice, but our entire family has been denied closure." The next hearing for the civil case is scheduled for May 16. Meanwhile, court records indicate that Spejcher is planning to appeal her criminal conviction. Prosecutor Nafziger noted that it's common for defendants to appeal the verdict rather than the sentence. She expressed interest in the appeal, particularly given what she considers a lenient sentence by Judge Worley. Nafziger explained that if the appeals court determines the verdict should be overturned, a new trial would ensue with a different judge, potentially leading to a different sentence.

We've uncovered a troubling trend: marijuana use is on the rise among pregnant mothers, posing severe health risks to both them and their babies. With evidence from a recent study by Kaiser, we discuss the alarming increase in gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, lower birth weights, preterm birth, and higher neonatal intensive care admissions linked to marijuana use during pregnancy. Even more concerning, many dispensaries are recommending marijuana to pregnant women—a dangerous echo of past marketing tactics by the alcohol industry. We urgently call for stringent regulations and public health warnings to protect vulnerable mothers and their unborn children from these significant risks.Follow the work of SAM and FDPS below:https://learnaboutsam.org/https://gooddrugpolicy.org/https://thedrugreport.org/On X: https://twitter.com/learnaboutsamhttps://twitter.com/GoodDrugPolicyhttps://twitter.com/KevinSabethttps://twitter.com/LukeNiforatosOn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/learnaboutsam

Summary  In this conversation, Dr. Serv Wahan and Dr. Peter Pfeiffer discuss the challenges of anesthesia and sedation for redheads and marijuana users in dentistry. Redheads have a different way of experiencing pain and may require more medication for sedation and local anesthesia. Marijuana use can affect anesthesia and sedation, as well as post-operative pain and nausea. However, there is a lack of research due to the federal illegality of marijuana. The conversation highlights the need for individualized protocols and patient education in these cases.    Keywords  redheads, anesthesia, sedation, dentistry, marijuana, local anesthesia, IV sedation, general anesthesia, pain management    Takeaways  Redheads may require more medication for sedation and local anesthesia due to their different pain perception.  Marijuana use can affect anesthesia and sedation, as well as post-operative pain and nausea.  There is a lack of research on the effects of marijuana in dentistry due to its federal illegality.  Individualized protocols and patient education are important in managing anesthesia and sedation for redheads and marijuana users.    Titles  Navigating the Lack of Research on Marijuana in Dentistry  Challenges of Anesthesia and Sedation for Redheads in Dentistry    Sound Bites  "Redheads have a different way of experiencing pain and cold temperatures, they will notice more, but it hurts less."

Excerpt from Luke's interview on WMAL DMV Talkshow: Could the commercialization of marijuana be putting our youth at risk? Join us in our latest episode as we sit down with Luke Niferatos, the Executive Vice President of Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM), to unpack the alarming rise in daily marijuana use among teenagers and young adults. Luke sheds light on the health risks linked to high-potency marijuana, such as psychosis, depression, and academic decline, and how these concerns have been overlooked by states hurrying to legalize recreational cannabis. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the well-being of our younger generations and the unforeseen public health consequences of marijuana legalization.Luke also explores the intricate landscape of marijuana legalization policies, including potential rollbacks and societal impacts witnessed in places like Thailand and Colorado. We expose the misuse of social justice arguments by the marijuana industry and argue for genuine reforms such as decriminalizing low-level possession and expunging records. Using Denver as a case study, we discuss the glaring disparities in marijuana shop locations and ownership within minority communities, while also highlighting recent legislative changes in Maryland. Tune in to understand why it's crucial for policymakers to rely on scientific research, particularly concerning the mental health effects of today's high-potency marijuana.Follow the work of SAM and FDPS below:https://learnaboutsam.org/https://gooddrugpolicy.org/https://thedrugreport.org/On X: https://twitter.com/learnaboutsamhttps://twitter.com/GoodDrugPolicyhttps://twitter.com/KevinSabethttps://twitter.com/LukeNiforatosOn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/learnaboutsam

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - MT 5:13-16 - Jesus said to His disciples: “You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.” Memorial of Saint Barnabas, Apostle Saint Barnabas, pray for us!

“We did it, and we turned out ok.” Perhaps you've heard that line of reasoning from other parents regarding today's teens and marijuana use. In fact, a government survey indicates that since 2015, the number of parents who believe there is a risk of harm from using marijuana has dropped, from just over thirty percent of parents, to just over twenty percent today. But researchers and medical professionals will tell you that we should actually be more concerned about the risks from marijuana use, as the impact of smoking today's marijuana is actually greater on the developing and vulnerable brains of our kids. Experts report that in the 1960's, the THC content of marijuana was two to three percent. Today, it is twenty percent or more, making it ten times more potent. Doctors are seeing increased psychotic events attributed to this increased potency. Parents, monitor your kids, and don't approve of the use of marijuana or any other substances kids are choosing to abuse.

AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports on new trends in daily and near daily marijuana use.

Bryn Spejcher, a 32-year-old California woman, convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the fatal stabbing of Chad O'Melia, 26, is appealing her conviction, alleging that she was deceived into using marijuana before the deadly attack. Spejcher's conviction stems from a tragic incident where she stabbed O'Melia 108 times before also harming her dog and herself. Despite the severity of the crime, she received a sentence of two years on probation and 100 hours of community service, a punishment she and her legal team deem inadequate. In an exclusive interview with The Daily Mail, Spejcher disclosed her intentions to appeal, arguing that O'Melia, whom she had been dating, coerced her into consuming marijuana. She claimed that she had expressed her lack of romantic interest in him just two days prior to the incident. According to Spejcher, O'Melia pressured her into using a potent strain of marijuana, despite her limited experience with the drug. She alleges that he manipulated her into taking additional hits, leading to a drastic and unforeseen reaction that resulted in the fatal assault. Spejcher's attorney, Michael Goldstein, maintains that her intoxication was involuntary and a direct result of O'Melia's deceit. Goldstein cited expert testimony during the trial, which characterized the violent outburst as unpredictable and unforeseeable. The defense argues that the marijuana involved had an exceptionally high THC level of 31.8%, far beyond what Spejcher had previously used. They emphasized the lack of public health warnings regarding the potential for psychosis and violence associated with such potent strains. Despite the legal maneuvering, O'Melia's family remains dissatisfied with the outcome of the criminal proceedings, advocating for a harsher punishment and intends to pursue a civil case against Spejcher, scheduled for the coming weeks. O'Melia's father, who led a protest outside the courthouse during Spejcher's sentencing hearing, during which she received no prison time, expressed profound disappointment with the justice system's handling of the case. He lamented that his son and their family were denied justice, as Spejcher received only two years of probation and 100 hours of community service. "We feel completely failed by the system," O'Melia's father told Fox News in January. "Not only did my son not receive justice, but our entire family has been denied closure." The next hearing for the civil case is scheduled for May 16. Meanwhile, court records indicate that Spejcher is planning to appeal her criminal conviction. Prosecutor Nafziger noted that it's common for defendants to appeal the verdict rather than the sentence. She expressed interest in the appeal, particularly given what she considers a lenient sentence by Judge Worley. Nafziger explained that if the appeals court determines the verdict should be overturned, a new trial would ensue with a different judge, potentially leading to a different sentence. Prosecutor Nafziger notes that if the appeal succeeds, a new trial could result in a different judge imposing a potentially harsher penalty. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the latest episode of the Incubator Podcast's Journal Club, the hosts, Ben and Daphna, delve into a detailed discussion of recent neonatology research.The Oscar Trial: Examined the efficacy of early ibuprofen treatment for large patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in extremely preterm infants to improve outcomes like survival and severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The study, a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial across 32 UK units, found no significant benefit of early ibuprofen treatment.Breastfeeding as a Protective Factor Against BPD: A retrospective study from the British Journal of Nutrition by José Uberos, focusing on the intake of mother's own milk, donor human milk, or preterm formula within the first two weeks of life in very low birth weight infants. It highlighted the benefits of mother's milk in reducing the odds of BPD and noted the importance of enteral nutrition in the development of BPD.Clinical Chorioamnionitis and Neurodevelopment: Drawn from the Epipage to cohort, the study found no significant association between clinical chorioamnionitis and neurodevelopmental disorders at five years of age for infants born between 24 and 34 weeks of gestation.Polyethylene Bags Before Cord Clamping: This randomized control trial published in the Archives of Disease in Childhood investigated whether placing very preterm infants in a polyethylene bag before cord clamping could ensure normothermia upon NICU admission. The trial concluded that there was no significant difference in the normothermia rates between those bagged before and after cord clamping.Marijuana Use and Breastfeeding: Survey results from a Pediatrics journal article showing variability in hospital practices regarding breastfeeding for mothers who use marijuana. It calls for more standardized, evidence-based practices to ensure healthcare equity.Platelet Transfusion and Neurodevelopmental Impairment: A JAMA Network Open study using data from the PEANUT trial, examining the association between platelet transfusion exposure and death or severe neurodevelopmental impairment at two years of age in extremely preterm children.Azithromycin During Routine Well Infant Visits: A study from Burkina Faso published in the New England Journal of Medicine tested the effectiveness of Azithromycin given during routine health care visits in preventing infant mortality. The results did not support the prophylactic use of Azithromycin for this purpose.Challenges in Managing Refractory Pain and Sedation in Infants: A review article from Frontiers in Pharmacology compiling guidelines and providing insights into the management of pain, sedation, and withdrawal in infants, including the issue of delirium in the NICU setting.EBNEO Commentary with Dr. Eugene How and Dr. Cami Martin on the study by Ariel Salas et al published in Pediatrics: Early human milk fortification in infants born extremely preterm: A randomised trial.  As always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.
