A woman who had both legs amputated after being struck down by meningitis is demanding better care for patients, telling a Health Select Committee that after fighting for her life in hospital, she was left to fend for herself. Mary Argue reports.

What happens when your child seems sick, but everything keeps coming back normal? For a lot of parents, the scariest part isn't the diagnosis. It's the not knowing. It's being told everything looks fine when your gut is telling you something is off. This week, Katie sits down with Kayleigh, a medical assistant and mom of three, to share the story of her daughter Kanessa. Almost a year after a freak eye injury that seemed to heal, Kanessa suddenly got sick. At first, it looked like a simple virus. But within days, things escalated fast. Kaylee shares what it was like trying to make sense of symptoms that didn't quite add up. Normal test results. A child who seemed okay one minute and not the next. And that moment when everything changed with one scan. From there, their world shifted quickly. A brain bleed. A diagnosis of bacterial meningitis. Emergency surgery. A 40-day hospital stay. Kaylee talks about what it took to keep going through all of it, while also caring for a newborn and being away from her other child. She also shares how she supported Kanessa through it all. Being honest about what was happening. Preparing her for procedures. Letting her ask questions. And leaning on Child Life in a way that made a huge difference for both of them. If you've ever wondered if you're overreacting or if you should push for more answers, this episode will stay with you. Kaylee's story is a reminder to trust yourself and keep advocating.

A Herne Bay woman has spoken of the moment she was left covered in black paint just minutes before walking down the aisle to get married. Gemma Monk's £1,300 dress was ruined as she prepared to tie the knot at Oakwood House in Maidstone. She'd been targeted by her 49-year-old sister-in-law who'd turned up unannounced to the ceremony and has now been sentenced after appearing in court. Also in today's podcast, students are being encouraged to come forward for a second dose of vaccine, following a deadly outbreak of Meningitis in Kent. Two young people died and 34 were hospitalised after cases spread last month. A day of action's being held in Kent this weekend by campaigners fighting plans for three new solar farms. Hands Off Our Marsh say it would be devastating to see panels installed on hundreds of acres of prime farmland across Romney Marsh. A huge parade will be making its way through Gravesend this weekend as part of Vaisakhi celebrations. The festival marks the solar new year and the founding of the initiated Sikh community in 1699. Thousands of people are expected to take part and it'll leave the Gurdwara just after 11am on Saturday. And in sport, Gillingham's assistant manager is going to be stepping out of the dugout as he takes on a new role at the club. Richard Dobson has been appointed the club's technical director. He'll be in charge of the recruitment department, sports science and medical along with the GFC Academy. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Little over a week on from the first meningitis cases in Canterbury, many crucial questions remain. So this week we're taking an in-depth look at those questions and what we've learnt from this outbreak - and could it happen again?James also hears from author Michael Rosen whose son Eddie died from meningitis aged 18 about just how quickly the disease struck and how he deals with his grief. And would you trust health advice from an AI chatbot? We hear from someone who regularly turns to ChatGPT and from GP Dr Margaret McCartney about her concerns.Presenter: James Gallagher Producer: Gerry Holt Content editor: Ilan Goodman Production coordinator: Stuart Laws Studio engineer: Donald MacDonaldInside Health was made by the BBC's Audio Science Unit in collaboration with The Open University.

A meningitis outbreak is sparking a massive media fear campaign reminiscent of the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic – but Dr. Jessica Rose warns “don't just get in line like you did last time, please.” The computational biologist and immunologist warns that the public is being driven toward MenB vaccines that carry significant, underreported risks. By analyzing VAERS data and the recombinant technology inside these injections, Dr. Rose exposes the dangers of “molecular mimicry” and explains why injecting synthetic lipoproteins could trigger severe autoimmune responses. Internet pioneer and investigative author Ken McCarthy breaks down the historical and ongoing corruption of the medical industry. Dr. Izabella Wentz, acclaimed author of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, shares her expertise on combating the rise of medically-induced and environmentally-triggered autoimmune conditions, offering root-cause solutions for mystery illnesses. Dr. Jessica Rose is a Canadian researcher with a Bachelor's in Applied Mathematics and a Master's in Immunology from Memorial University of Newfoundland. She holds a PhD in Computational Biology from Bar Ilan University and completed postdoctoral research in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. Find her at https://jessicasuniverse.com and follow at https://x.com/JesslovesMJK Ken McCarthy was one of the early pioneers of the movement to commercialize the Internet. Time Magazine credits him with being the first person to articulate the importance of “click-through rate” as a key metric. He's the author of over 10 books, including the bestselling What the Nurses Saw.

Tom opens this week's livestream with an announcement about a new community platform launching in early May 2026 through New Biology Clinic and DrTomCowan.com. -New Biology Clinic members at any level will be included at no extra charge. -Graduates of the New Biology curriculum will receive a trial membership. -Tom shares that the goal is to help like-minded people connect online first, then build real in-person friendships, local relationships, and practitioner support. -He also ties this initiative to the upcoming New Biology Experience at Polyface Farm in June, describing it as part of a broader effort to bring people together in community.New Biology Experience link here.Highlights from this session include: -Tom shares several pieces of “science news,” including a story about a python blood molecule being studied as a possible appetite suppressant, which he uses to mock the logic behind new obesity drug development. -He comments on a report claiming that a third of Americans believe in an impending apocalypse, pointing to what he sees as a contradiction between welcoming doomsday and wanting institutions to prevent it. -Tom reads and analyzes a comment from Australian microbiologist Christopher Peacock, focusing on Peacock's claim that the “only difference” in viral plaque assays is the presence or absence of the virus. Tom argues that such a statement would require prior purification of the virus from the sample, which he says virologists themselves claim is not possible. -The main topic of the session is meningitis, especially the claim that Neisseria meningitidis causes meningitis and septicemia. Tom reviews a scientific paper on meningococcal pathogenesis and argues that the theory fails because the bacteria are commonly found in healthy people, while actual illness is rare. -He highlights what he sees as a major weakness in the mainstream explanation: the researchers themselves admit that the mechanisms by which the bacteria move from harmless colonization in the nose to life-threatening disease remain largely unexplained. -Tom argues that the theory becomes increasingly speculative, shifting from bacteria, to subtypes, to genetic differences, to signaling pathways, instead of proving direct causation. -He also notes that there is no convincing animal model for meningococcal sepsis or meningitis and says this undermines the claim that the bacteria are the true cause. -In discussing a recent teen meningitis case, Tom speculates that vaping-related toxins such as nicotine, propylene glycol, heavy metals, and carcinogens may be a more plausible contributor to brain and tissue damage than the bacteria themselves. -He closes by arguing that meningitis vaccine campaigns are built on flawed reasoning and by reaffirming his challenge to Christopher Peacock to produce proof that a virus was isolated before cell culture.Support the showWebsites:https://drtomcowan.com/https://www.drcowansgarden.com/https://newbiologyclinic.com/https://newbiologycurriculum.com/Instagram: @TalkinTurkeywithTomFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrTomCowan/Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/CivTSuEjw6Qp/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzxdc2o0Q_XZIPwo07XCrNg

More than 30,000 people are being contacted in the Canterbury area regarding the outbreak of bacterial meningitis in Kent. Two people have died, and others are seriously ill. James Gallagher speaks with immunologist Sir Andrew Pollard about the disease, and finds out what could have caused the outbreak.That's the major headline from the UK. But more broadly, for the last few weeks the news has been dominated by the situation in the Middle East. James speaks with Dr Antoine Abou Fayad, a microbiologist and medicinal chemist based in Beirut, Lebanon. He reveals that war, just like the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, provides the perfect storm to accelerate the spread of multidrug-resistant infections. And nobody is safe. And finally, James finds out about an ongoing trial at the University of Exeter, where interactive computer games are being used by stroke patients to improve their recovery. And, of course, James has a go himself!Presenter: James Gallagher Producer: Alice Lipscombe-Southwell Researcher: Tom Hunt Editor: Ilan Goodman

Earlier this month, a meningitis outbreak in Canterbury, Kent, led to the tragic death of two young people. So far there have been 29 confirmed or suspected cases in total. It's thought that a “super-spreader” event at a nightclub is the source of the outbreak.Since then, there has been a mass rollout of vaccines for Meningitis B and preventative antibiotics. Thousands of students and contacts have been treated.Cases now appear to be slowing or stabilising, however, some questions have been raised over the speed of the response from the government. Post-Covid, fear amongst the public of the spread of infectious diseases is heightened. This meningitis outbreak has served as a test, not just of public health response and communication, but of how the public understands risk in a post-pandemic Britain. Anoosh Chakelian is joined by investigations editor, Hannah Barnes. READ: https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/health/2026/03/was-kent-prepared-for-meningitis LISTEN AD-FREE:

Jordan Sather and Nate Prince return to MAHA News to unpack the ongoing tension between public health messaging, food industry practices, and the growing demand for transparency in medicine. The episode centers on how systemic incentives continue to shape outcomes in healthcare, with a focus on chronic disease, nutrition, and the role of regulatory bodies in influencing both treatment and prevention strategies. The hosts explore how narratives around food, pharmaceuticals, and long term health are formed, questioning whether current systems are designed to improve outcomes or simply manage symptoms. They also examine how information flows through media and institutions, and why more people are beginning to challenge long standing assumptions about diet, disease, and medical authority. From policy discussions to cultural shifts, the conversation highlights the increasing pressure for accountability across both the healthcare system and the industries that support it.

Allison discusses her recent column on a controversial clause in the Crime and Policing Bill that would effectively ‘descriminalise' abortion up to birth. Labelling the move ‘legalised infantcide' she and Liam explore the ethical implication of late-term viability, drawing on Allison's moving personal experiences and her observations from a neonatal ICU. The duo are joined in the rocket by Linden Kemkaran, the Reform UK leader of Kent County Council. Representing the ‘border county' at the forefront of the small boats crisis, she discusses her decision to declare an ‘illegal migration emergency' and her demand for the government to provide full funding for the local impact of arrivals.

According to the UK Health Security Agency, five new cases of meningitis have been confirmed in Kent. Two people have died in the outbreak. Health Secretary Wes Streeting has described it as an 'unprecedented' outbreak although the risk of the disease spreading is low. So what are the facts parents and young people should be aware of?

Last year, MPs voted to decriminalise abortion for women in England and Wales, meaning a woman would no longer face prosecution for ending her own pregnancy. The amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill removes criminal liability for the woman herself, but medical professionals and others who assist an abortion outside the legal framework could still be held criminally liable. The Bill is still passing through Parliament, and according to research by the Guardian, women are still being arrested. We hear from Guardian reporter Hannah Al-Othman.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Kirsty Starkey
