Practicing internist and psychiatrist Muhamad Aly Rifai discusses his article, "How America became overmedicated—and what we can do about it." He raises concerns about the high rate of psychotropic medication use in the U.S., citing CDC data suggesting nearly 1 in 4 adults may be taking these drugs, often without clear long-term plans or exit strategies. Muhamad contrasts this with U.K. NICE guidelines that emphasize structured deprescribing protocols, highlighting a significant gap in U.S. clinical guidance. He points to systemic issues like short medication management visits, lack of industry incentives for deprescribing, and the need for better physician training in distinguishing withdrawal symptoms from relapse. Dr. Rifai advocates for a national shift towards wellness, emphasizing medication optimization, integrated behavioral health (including therapy and trauma-informed care), addressing social determinants of health, and fostering recovery-oriented conversations that explore non-pharmacologic approaches like peer support, nutrition, and exercise. Actionable takeaways include the need for robust deprescribing guidelines, investment in holistic and integrated care models, and a conscious effort by clinicians to discuss not just starting medications, but also safely stopping them when appropriate.

Practicing internist and psychiatrist Muhamad Aly Rifai discusses his article "Criminalizing care: How the system turned on physicians." He argues that physicians, historically pillars of trust, are increasingly being targeted and criminalized under regulations like the Controlled Substances Act and health care fraud statutes. Muhamad details several cases, including those of Drs. Sachy, Kousa, and Anand, as well as his own acquittal on federal fraud charges, to illustrate how medical judgment and complex patient care are being conflated with criminal activity. He critiques the tactics used, such as aggressive federal investigations, flawed audits, data manipulation in PDMPs, inflammatory press releases ("dirty doctors"), and a perceived erosion of the presumption of innocence, noting that only 0.4 percent of federal defendants are found not guilty. Muhamad highlights the devastating personal and professional consequences for physicians and the disruption to patient care, calling for urgent reforms including clearer guidelines, prosecutorial accountability, DEA process reform, and equal application of due process to end the war on healers.

La Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre Biodiversidad, que se llevó a cabo del 21 de octubre al 1 de noviembre de 2024 en la ciudad de Cali, Colombia pero que no logró concluirse con un acuerdo, volverá a reunirse del 25 al 27 de febrero de 2025 en Roma. Pero las autoridades colombianas llegarán a esta cita con malos resultados porque la deforestación reapareció como uno de sus más graves problemas ambientales. No hace mucho, Colombia celebraba que en 2023 se había podido reducir la deforestación logrando unos resultados mínimos históricos, cerca de 79 000 hectáreas. Pero en el 2024, la destrucción de bosques y selvas volvió a dispararse, aumentando en un 35%, el equivalente a 107 mil hectáreas destruídas. Para darse una idea, es como si la superficie de Hong Kong hubiese desaparecido de la faz de la tierra. La deforestación es un problema que el gobierno no ha podido detener a pesar de que el presidente Gustavo Petro se presenta como uno de los mandatarios más radicales para proteger el medio ambiente.Al Director de la ONG Acción Verde, Juan Manuel Soto, le preocupa que nadie pueda parar esta tragedia en este país, el segundo más biodiverso del mundo: "Es un desconcierto de que el Gobierno que se propuso bajar la deforestación, no ha podido hacerlo, digamos que el descontrol sobre la deforestación es escalofriante, estamos hablando de 107 mil hectáreas donde había fauna, flora, posiblemente comunidades habitando y capacidad de recarga del agua, carbono que se está liberando, es un desastre."" Y ese aumento, obviamente, pues no es una buena noticia, pero hay que ponerlo en perspectiva histórica, porque se constituye en la segunda cifra más baja de deforestación...." relativiza Susana Muhamad, la Ministra colombiana de Medio Ambiente en unz rueda de prensa donde asegura que hay 5 puntos donde se disparó la deforestación: 2 en el sur, los parques de La Macarena y Tinigua, regiones controladas por disidentes de las FARC, donde las fuerzas del Estado no entran.Muhamad también indicó que el repunte se debe al acaparamiento de tierras. Juan Manuel Soto nos explica de qué se trata: ¿Qué sucede? digamos que los acaparadores de tierra, no son campesinos tratando de sobrevivir. Son empresas que contratan campesinos para deforestar, para después decir que esta tierra es de ellos y generalmente, un deforestador grande busca ganadería, a diferencia de la agricultura, porque la ganadería te permite tener un ganado en pie, ya que en el Amazonas tiene que ser extensivo, porque el suelo no te aguanta una ganadería intensiva; entonces, primero es una vaca cada una hectárea, después es una vaca cada dos hectáreas, y así. O es un monocultivo agroindustrial, palma de aceite, soya, maíz, sorgo, industrias alrededor de esto. O es un acaparador de tierras que la forma de controlar su territorio es, vacas."Colombia se puso el objetivo de llegar a 2030 con cero hectáreas deforestadas.

Summary In this episode, Sean discusses the complexities of compliance in healthcare with Dr. Muhammad Ali Rafai, who faced a criminal indictment for healthcare fraud. The conversation covers the emotional toll of the indictment, the audit process, trial preparation, expert testimonies, and the eventual acquittal. Dr. Rifai shares insights on the challenges faced by private physicians and the importance of compliance, while also reflecting on the lessons learned from his experience. Takeaways The emotional impact of being criminally indicted is profound. Indictments do not equate to guilt; they are merely accusations. The audit process can lead to severe consequences for physicians. Having a knowledgeable attorney is crucial in legal battles. Expert testimonies can significantly influence trial outcomes. The importance of compliance in healthcare cannot be overstated. Private physicians are often easy targets for government investigations. The role of the jury is critical in determining the outcome of a trial. Cross-examination can reveal significant flaws in the prosecution's case. Maintaining a strong support system is essential during legal challenges.
En un hecho histórico, la ministra de Ambiente, Susana Muhamad , se convierte en la primera colombiana en ser presidenta de una COP y pronunció su primer discurso con un llamado a los 196 países participantes logran un consenso pronto sin dilatar las negociaciones.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 54: The Undeniable Truth Welcome to Seerah Pearls, which aims to highlight some tantalising learning points from each episode of the Seerah- Life of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) used to visit a Christian slave regularly. Some leaders of Quraysh accused the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) of scheming ideas together with this servant and propagating them. Allah revealed: 16:103 And We certainly know that they say, “It is only a human being who teaches the Prophet.” The tongue of the one they refer to is foreign, and this Qur'an is [in] a clear Arabic language.The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) used to recite Quran aloud at night. Abu Sufyan reports that he, Abu Jahl and Akhnas ibn Shariq would go to listen to this recitation as it was so captivating. After listening for a time, they would run back home before being seen. One night, the three ran into each other and tried to explain themselves. After confessing they came to listen to the recitation, they justified it as needing to keep track of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). They all promised not to come again, as it was a bad example for others. The second night, they all return and encounter each other again. Once again, they promise not to return. The third night, the same happened. Abu Sufyan reports that after this, they did not visit too often.Akhnas ibn Shariq asked Abu Sufyan what he thought about the recitation. Abu Sufyan said he understood some but some was beyond the human realm, which he did not understand. However, he felt this was not from Muhamad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). Akhnas ibn Shariq also asked Abu Jahl. He replies that Banu Amir have always competed with Banu Abd Manaf. Now that one of them came saying he was a Prophet, Banu Amir needed to provide the same and they could not do this. So, to maintain social order, even though the message was obviously divine, they cannot accept his message.
El mundo comienza a negociar medidas para luchar contra el cambio climático en la Cop28 de Dubái. Uno de los temas en la mesa de negociaciones es el fin de las combustibles fósiles. Nada fácil para muchos países que dependen del petróleo, del gas o del carbón, ya sea porque lo exportan o porque lo necesitan para producir energía. Algunos países proponen un tratado de no proliferación de las energías fósiles entre los que está Colombia. Es, según muchos negociadores y activistas, el elefante en medio de la sala: el tema inevitable pero que las naciones petroleras se resisten a poner en la mesa de negociaciones: el fin de la era del petróleo, gas y carbón cuyo uso masivo desestabiliza el clima a nivel global.Este fin de semana en la COP de Dubái, un grupo de países insulares particularmente vulnerables al cambio climático propusieron un tratado internacional y vinculante de no proliferación de los combustibles fósiles.Una iniciativa a la que se sumó Colombia uno de los principales exportadores de carbón a nivel mundial y la que se agrega la promesa del presidente Gustavo Petro de no firmar nuevas concesiones de petróleo.Pero al mismo tiempo, Colombia anunció importar más petróleo del vecino país, Venezuela. Una postura paradójica que justifica Susana Muhamad, ministra de Medioambiente de Colombia, en exclusiva para RFI.“No estamos hablando de expandir la frontera, son reservas ya aprobadas. Colombia no dice que mañana va a parar de explotar y exportar petróleo y carbón sino que hay que hacer una transición económica y eso tomará tiempo. Por lo menos 15 años, pero hay que planificarla ya y mientras tanto hemos de generar condiciones económicas favorables para el país. Potencialmente ese gas y ese petróleo de Venezuela nos ahorra lo que tenemos hoy, que es una importación de combustible refinado en un 50% y gas de licuefacción que es absolutamente costoso que tiene unas tarifas arriba de la energía y mientras hacemos esa transición hay que tener unas reservas del otro lado de la frontera, en asociación con PDVSA, puede ayudarnos a mejorar esas condiciones económicas y permitir una mejor transición“, explica Muhamad.A pesar de su gran dependencia al carbón y al petróleo, Colombia se sumó a la iniciativa para un tratado de no proliferación de combustibles fósiles que reúne a 10 países.“Si el 86% de las emisiones son producidas por la quema de combustibles fósiles por qué no hablamos de detener esa producción en el tiempo y progresivamente de combustibles fósiles. Un país como Colombia tiene acceso a capital mucho más costoso. No hay un incentivo real en el mercado para hacer esta transición y queremos generar esas condiciones igualitarias y abordar el tema del cambio climático seriamente y por eso no queremos acuerdos voluntarios, sino empezar a trabajar sobre acuerdos vinculantes en una negociación económica seria qué significa ir dejando los combustibles fósiles y qué significa económicamente para todos los países “, dice la ministra colombiana.El abandono del petróleo sin embargo es un tabú para los países productores de crudo que abogan más bien por reducir o compensar las emisiones de CO2 del sector.
