The Open Journal: Step into a world of mental health with Kennedy Stapley. She interviews mental health therapists and a U student. Hear their inspiring stories and know that you are not alone!
Guest Juan Pablo Alperin | John Willinsky Panelist Richard Littauer Show Notes In this episode of Sustain, host Richard discusses the importance of maintaining open access to research with guests Juan Pablo Alperin and John Willinsky from the Public Knowledge Project (PKP). The conversation covers PKP's history, the development of their open-source software, Open Journal Systems (OJS), and its impact on scholarly publishing. They dive into the integration with other open-access initiatives, the role of AI in future projects, and the challenges faced in balancing sustainability with the rising demands of their growing user base. The episode also touches on community-driven translations and the importance of creating equitable access to knowledge, especially for communities in the global south. Download this episode now! [00:01:20] John explains PKP's commitment to open access, starting in 1998 with the goal of making research publicly available. [00:02:35] Juan describes Open Journal Systems (OJS) as the flagship open source software of PKP, which facilitates research publication worldwide. [00:04:57] The conversation touches on the peer review process, the importance of making scholarly knowledge open, and how PKP encourages open access through their platform. [00:07:44] John and Juan explain how OJS allows academics and institutions to manage the entire publishing process, from submission to peer review and publication, while maintaining the integrity of research. [00:11:54] John discusses the intersection of open source and open access, noting the successes and challenges that remain in the fight for free and equitable access to research. [00:13:52] Richard inquires about where the funding is coming from, and Juan explains. [00:16:49] The guests highlight how commercial publishers have embraced open access, though often in ways that perpetuate inequalities, such as through article processing charges (APCs). [00:21:09] The discussion touches on sustainability, both in terms of funding PKP and the broader scholarly ecosystem, and the risks of commercializing access to knowledge. [00:25:23] Translation and localization efforts are discussed and how PKP's platform supports multiple languages, enabling access to knowledge across diverse linguistic communities. [00:31:42] The challenges of integrating non-Western and indigenous knowledge systems into scholarly publishing is discussed. [00:35:57] Juan and John share the hurdles PKP faces in terms of keeping up with community demand and ensuring long-term sustainability.

In this episode of The Peaceful Parenting Podcast, I interview Kristen RB Peterson on letting go of “getting ready for kindergarten” and focusing on play based learning instead. Listen in as we discuss the findings of studies on the importance of play and how to foster more play in your home. We talk about: 4:45 Study about play based preschools vs. academic preschools 5:30 Confusion around what play is and what play is not 6:45 Five Characteristics of play 11:31 Play schemas (patterns in children's play) 13:00 Importance of “loose materials” for play 14:42 Why parents should avoid academic focused preschools 26:13 NASA Creativity Study 33:00 How parents can help their kids have more play 38:00 Importance of risky play in early childhood Download the episode transcript HERE Resources mentioned in this episode: IG @kristen.rb.peterson Play-Based Learning Podcast https://www.kristenrbpeterson.com/podcasts Kristen's Website https://www.kristenrbpeterson.com/ Citations for the studies: “Studies that compared the performance of children attending academic preschools with those attending play-based preschools showed no advantage in reading and math achievement for children attending academic preschools. However, evidence did suggest that children attending academic preschools had higher levels of test anxiety, were less creative, and had more negative attitudes toward school than did the children attending play-based preschool.” Swart, K., & Houser, K.

In this episode, we will learn from Karen Keptner, Ph.D., OTR/L. She is an Associate Professor and the Doctoral Capstone Coordinator for the Occupational Therapy Doctorate program at Cleveland State University. She frequently works with individuals who are at risk of dropping out of post-secondary studies. In the last few years, she has developed a credit-bearing skill-building course for students returning to campus following a medical withdrawal, introduced occupational therapy as a service on campus, and provided direct occupational therapy services to undergraduate and graduate students referred by the Office of Disability Services. She also works with aged-out foster youth, addressing ‘exposure gaps' they experience as they transition from adolescents to adults. As a faculty member, she advocates for inclusive teaching practices and addressing systematic barriers that hinder student success. In her free time, she likes to travel, read books, and spend time with her family. Contact & Resources: My business name is "The College OT". I have a website - you can find me at keptnerot.com or collegeot.com. I am also mostly on LinkedIn (just cannot get the time to do others at the moment) - https://www.linkedin.com/in/karen-keptner-phd-otrl/ I am always happy to connect through email at kkeptner@gmail.com (and never be offended to send me a reminder email - it is something I just cannot keep up with sometimes!) I just came out with a book "Primer for OT Professionals in Higher Education". It explores the basic structure of higher education campuses and ways OTPs can find a unique gap in a campus near them. It is only $20 and I am promising anyone who purchases by August 31, 2023, a free copy of the next version (already in process). I put this book out to get an idea of what OTPs are looking for in the practice area -and see if there is interest. So, using the book as a way to design other things down the road as well. I am also finishing up a practical workbook to use with students - it can be used by OTs, school and transition counselors, etc. I do a blog at collegeot.com (I am not great at posting but there are some helpful blog posts in there - for people working with adolescents/young adults as well). I am just listing a bibliography of my professional journal articles here - I am happy to give people access to the pre-print version of most of these if they contact me. Eichler, J. & Keptner, K.M.

Stephanie Coleman created Tre Magazine, showing perseverance. She proves dedication to one's craft pays off. The New York Times is trying to play fair and balanced by allowing liars to write. Stephanie Coleman, founder and publisher of Tre Magazine is no stranger to either KPFT 90.1 FM Houston or Politics Done Right (PDR). Of course, she has been a part of the Open Journal talk program for a long time. Stephanie appeared on PDR during the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, I had moved in with my daughter in Washington, DC, as she was recovering from her second stroke. As usual, Ms. Coleman was inspiring. Many magazines, for various reasons, were unable to survive and thrive through the ordeal. She did. And it was no easy task. Today she tells her story and gives us some positive affirmation about the art of perseverance and more. Senior economist Dean Baker called out the New York Times for its false balance by allowing a charlatan to write a misleading article on Social Security. I have interviewed Baker more than once. While he is not the MMT type economist like Stephanie Kelton or Richard Wolff, he believes in a capitalist economy that does not pilfer as the current one does. IMHO, the rules he would apply would have all the humane economists converge in the same place. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/support

On today's episode I'll be chatting with Sari Tjurin-Zeiger. Sari is an acupuncturist specializing in gynecology, obstetrics, and reproductive medicine. In this episode you will find out what kinds of challenges Sari can help people with, why scientific research is so important to inform the working practice, and how it supports reproductive health including secondary subfertility. We spoke about how secondary infertility sometimes receives less attention and those who are experiencing it may feel marginalized. Sari is a great person to know for your entire parenting journey from conception to postpartum and beyond and that's why she's a guest on the podcast.

I believe that Genetically Modified Skeptic presents this material because he wants the best for individuals struggling with sexual frustrations of various kinds that he sees as springing from Christian attitudes about sex outside of marriage. His motivations, I think, are honest and caring. However, his video, in my opinion is one-sided. It presents possible dangers related to Christian views about the topic, to the exclusion of possible dangers related to secular views. It also overly simplifies the question of sex as a "need." Further, viewers may not understand why I suggest that much of what Drew says presumes the falsity of Christianity. If Christianity is true, then as one of my patrons put it, "If extreme unwavering self-hatred is occurring after a sexual failure and repentance, what needs to change is one's beliefs about God's forgiveness, mercy, patience, and the height and depth of his love, not one's belief about whether certain types of sexual behavior are right or wrong." If Christianity is true, spiritual healthiness is an extremely important part of the human experience. God knows far more about what is physically, psychologically, and spiritually healthy than anyone.

This month marks one year since the horrific police murder of Houston’s George Floyd in Minneapolis, a galvanizing moment for the Black Lives Matter movement and the cause of racial justice in the United States and across the world. Open Journal has presented a series of discussions on race and racism over the course of time, especially this past year. Cherry Steinwender is founder and co-director of the Houston-based Center for the Healing of Racism - dedicated to the healing of racism through education and empowerment since 1989. Joel Goza is a Houston-based writer, minister and advocate. His first book, “America’s Unholy Ghosts: The Racist Roots of Our Faith and Politics” - is an examination of the religious and secular thinkers who inspired our Founding Fathers and leaders’ addiction to racist and classist ideas.
Soccer, or futbol for most of the world, has a history that goes back 150 years to England. Soccer has long struggled to gain the mainstream American status of Baseball, Football and Basketball, even Hockey. Still, Houston as the fourth largest city now has 2 professional soccer teams, Houston Dynamo(M) & Houston Dash(F), several collegiate teams and many thousands of youth playing in leagues. And with some 2026 World Cup matches likely headed this way, soccer is definitely on the rise. With us this edition of OJ is sportscaster Glenn Davis. Best known as lead play-by-play announcer for broadcasts of the Houston Dynamo and his weekly radio show - "Soccer Matters: with Glenn Davis” -Davis has called World Cup matches, Olympic socce, MLS matches, collegiate soccer and more. A pro soccer player in the 1980s, Davis has also coached youth soccer and works as a consultant. His charitable work includes a youth soccer camp titled "Kick Cancer" that features former and current soccer players as coaches to raise money for pediatric cancer research. He also has a KPFT connection. Glenn Davis -We are happy to welcome you back to Open Journal.

Loreta Kovacic is known for her virtuoso performances from Mucky Duck to Carnegie Hall. She calls herself a “three for one special”: pianist, singer-songwriter and a storyteller. She started out as a classical pianist in her native country of Croatia. After immigrating to Texas and graduating with a Doctorate in Music from Rice University, she worked as a performer and a teacher, later adding the "Alchemist Piano Theatre" children's theatre. She has created 7 albums over the years and her "Brother Tadpole Classics" was nominated for a Grammy in 2011. This pandemic time found her recently creating her first album based on her original one-act tragic play, The House of Gilda Haas, set in 2019 in Houston Northside immigrant neighborhood, the story revisits Federico Garcia Lorca’s classic play La Casa de Bernarda Alba with a new, contemporary twist. She has a flair for transformative work and is sometimes found performing in a style she likes to call: Texas Slav. A friend of KPFT, an HISD teacher at Burbank Middle School, we are pleased to welcome Loreta Kovacic to this edition of Open Journal.
Occupational therapy (OT) has been described as “the art and science of helping people do the day-to-day activities that are important and meaningful to their health and well being through engagement in valued occupations” (Crepeau, Cohn, & Schell, 2009, p. 217). This definition highlights the synthesis of both the art of practice and the science-based evidence of practice in the OT profession. Additionally, this definition underscores the importance of occupation in the practice of OT. The conceptualization of art as embedded in the definition of OT practice is rooted in the history and development of the profession (Levine, 1987). The “Occupation and the Artist” section of the Open Journal of Occupational Therapy (OJOT) will highlight the use of art in the practice of OT and in the occupations of both consumers of OT services and its practitioners. The cover of each issue of OJOT will feature an art creation accompanied by an exploration of the artist’s life or practice experience and the occupational foundations of art in each artist’s life.

Welcome back to the Mental Health Megacast, a semi-regular round table discussion with 3 mental health advocates, podcasters, and survivors of circumstances we’d rather forget, who are trying to find our way through life and make a difference.To that end, the Megacast is the combined collaborative brain powers (more or less) of Wes from AudioRising.com and Mike from MikesOpenJournal.com, and myself. I encourage you to check out and follow them online and through your favorite podcasting platform. Each of these guys has a tremendous message to share and an inspiring and unique way in how they go about it.In this episode, Wes brought up the topic of how we act and react around family members, and those who aren't necessarily active in mental health advocacy circles.We discuss the challenges of living authentically both inside and outside the world of mental health and recovery.What that authenticity looks like with family members vs friends vs colleagues vs those online who we interact with in our advocacy work.The challenges that arise when certain things are considered okay to say or talk about in some circles but not okay in others.The importance of fostering not only relationships with people who understand your struggles and the work you do in healing, but also those relationships that are just about having fun, relaxing, and blowing off steam...how this can be a form of self-care.The comfort level of sharing, and how much to share with those who don't necessarily understand life in recovery or what a healing journey is when they ask you to talk about it. The importance of not judging what we think they may or not understand, before we have a chance to talk with them and find out how interested they are.When to go deeper and share more, vs keeping information at a more surface level.We hope you enjoy this latest episode, and if you do have suggestions for future shows, we are still taking them. One of the best things about these episodes is that that they are completely unedited, unscripted, just us hanging out and having a chat, to which you are always invited to listen in on.Be sure and follow Wes on Twitter @WesA1966 and Mike @Mike_Douglas_ & Open_Journal_ …oh and don’t forget to follow and subscribe to all of our shows on your favorite podcasting app! ----------All conversation and information exchanged during participation on the Beyond Your Past Podcast, on BeyondYourPast.com, and BeyondYourPastRadio.com is intended for educational and informational purposes only.

In this episode of The Dr. Hedberg Show, I interview Dr. David Brady about how to overcome Fibromyalgia and his new book The Fibro Fix. We talked about the history of fibromyalgia diagnosis, the causes of fibromyalgia, the difference between "Classic" Fibromyalgia and "Pseudo" Fibromyalgia, treatment strategies, supplements for Fibromyalgia, and much more. If you have Fibromyalgia or know someone who does, this is one interview you definitely don't want to miss. Dr. Hedberg: Well, welcome, everyone, to "The Dr. Hedberg Show." This is Dr. Hedberg, and I'm really looking forward to the conversation today. We have Dr. David Brady on. And if you look at the history of "The Dr. Hedberg Show," we've actually never had a repeat guest. And so, Dr. Brady is gonna be the first repeat guest. Our last podcast discussed the GI map stool test from Diagnostic Solutions. So, I urge you to check that out. So, for those of you who don't know Dr. Brady, he really is the foremost authority on properly diagnosing and treating fibromyalgia, which is what we'll be talking about today. He's been featured in top media outlets like "Elle" and "NPR." And he's also published in leading peer-reviewed medical journals including "Open Journal of Rheumatology and Autoimmune Disease and Integrative Medicine," a clinician's journal. He's published chapters on fibromyalgia in definitive medical textbooks, including "Advancing Medicine with Food and Nutrients" and "Integrative Gastroenterology." He has presented at prestigious medical conferences, including the Annual Symposium of Functional Medicine and the Integrative Healthcare Symposium. He is in private practice at the Whole Body Medicine in Fairfield, Connecticut. And Dr. Brady is also the Director of the Human Nutrition Institute at the University of Bridgeport, as well as the Chief Medical Officer of Designs for Health and Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory. So, Dr. Brady witnessed his own mother suffer through the ringer of the medical system. So, Dr. Brady is uniquely passionate not only as a doctor, but also as a patient advocate. So, his website, more specifically for his book, we'll be talking about today is fibrofix.com and then his practice website is drdavidbrady.com. So, Dr. Brady, welcome to the show. David: Dr. Hedberg, thanks for having me back. I didn't realize I would be the first repeat guest, so that's quite an honor, and thank you. Dr. Hedberg: Yeah. So, I'm looking forward to this. Let's really dig into fibromyalgia. And so, you know, you witnessed your mother going through the medical system and then you became very interested in fibromyalgia. Is there any particular event that really got you interested in this condition? David: Well, I got an interest in sort of integrative medicine, as we would call it today, or like just routes of care and ways of looking at healthcare conditions, particularly complex chronic conditions that were not the, you know, real standard orthodox way of doing things or standard of care probably because of that experience with my mom growing up. I mean, my mother battled breast cancer most of my childhood, and double mastectomy, got radiation and chemo, and all that stuff back in the '70s when it was even more brutal than it is now. And she found some of her best outcomes and best quality of life, unfortunately it was toward the end, with some providers who were doing more sort of integrative complementary medicine type of stuff. So, it really opened my eyes to that. And even though I originally went and became an engineer and worked in aerospace and stuff, I always had a sort of a desire to come back to dealing with the human condition, and I had originally thought I would use my sort of engineering background, and biomechanics, and things like that, and to go into research, you know, in biomedical research. I had the engineering background, I was looking for ways to get the medical, clinical background.

Welcome back to the Mental Health Megacast, a semi-regular round table discussion with 3 mental health advocates, podcasters, and survivors of circumstances we'd rather forget, who are trying to find our way through life and make a difference.Officially, this is Season 2, Ep. 4 - but our numbering system isn't an exact science since this is actually episode 110 of my podcast, while it's also something different for Wes and Mike's shows. Anyways...we're just stoked for each opportunity to come together for an hour and chat about what's been going on in our lives; the struggles, the challenges, the wins and progress, and everything in between.Anyways, just in case you aren’t familiar with the Megacasts, you can check out past episodes here, and also my cohorts platforms as well….To that end, the Megacast is creation of the collaborative brain powers (more or less) of Wes from AudioRising.com and Mike from MikesOpenJournal.com, and myself. I encourage you to check out and follow them online and through your favorite podcasting platform. Each of these has a tremendous message to share and an inspiring and unique way in how they go about it.In this episode, after the usual cheers because we all got signed on at the same time (yes that's a thing we do and celebrate it because the struggle is real with us 3 and time) we begin the focus of this Megacast episode:How things have changed for each of us over the last year, and how our lives have changed in terms of sharing our story and our advocacy work from the time we started, till now.Witnessing the evolution in each of our lives as we have changed over the last couple of years since we began this podcast collaboration.How the awareness of mental health has changed over the years, the availability of resources and help in the US and UK, and the ongoing struggle to speak up and ask for help.Struggles with anxiety and depression, and realizing that finding tools to help combat the those feelings is not a "one size fits all" approach; not everything works for every person, and if a particular skill does not work for you, it doesn't mean anything other than we just find a skill or skills that do work for us. We also share some of the skills that we all use in working through anxiety.Living life in the moment, and using mindfulness and perspective to help in recovery.and much more!We hope you enjoy this latest episode, and yes if you do have suggestions for future shows, we are still taking them. ;) One of the best things about these episodes is that that they are completely unedited, unscripted, just us hanging out and having a chat, and you are invited.Be sure and follow Wes on Twitter @WesA1966 and Mike @Mike_Douglas_ & Open_Journal_ …oh and don’t forget to follow and subscribe to all of our shows on your favorite podcasting app!-Matt Pappas, CLC, MPNLPAll conversation and information exchanged during participation the Beyond Your Past Podcast, on BeyondYourPast.com, and BeyondYourPastRadio.com is intended for educational and informational purposes only.

Welcome back to our self-proclaimed, Mental Health Megacast, a semi-regular round table discussion with 3 mental health advocates and survivors who are trying to find our way through recovery.I think we've finally nailed down a proper episode numbering system for these "shows within a show" that the 3 of us are doing. So this one is officially, Season 2, Ep. 3...at least that's what I'm calling it.Anyways, just in case you aren’t familiar with the Megacasts, you can check out past episodes here, and also on cohorts platforms as well….To that end, the Megacast is creation of the collaborative brain powers (more or less) of Wes from AudioRising.com and Mike from MikesOpenJournal.com, and myself. I encourage you to check out and follow them online and through your favorite podcasting platform. Each of these has a tremendous message to share and an inspiring and unique way in how they go about it.In this episode, we talk about how doing not only the Megacast, but also our own individual shows, has influenced our journey of healing. How has talking about mental health encouraged us, challenged us, and forced us to confront some things about ourselves that we never thought we would have. We share the education aspect of doing these shows, as well as the humor; the challenges and the rewards. We also do a bit of catching up, and organically dive into the topic of a fear of failure, not only podcasting but in advocacy, and in our personal lives. The doubts and fears can be very powerful, and if we aren't careful can keep us treading water instead of moving forward.We also....wait for it...actually deciding on a new approach to figuring out what to talk about on these collaborative shows. If you're a regular listener you know that we also mention our struggles with time, and trying to figure out a topic to discuss. To be honest it's not much of a struggle, it's just become something we joke about more than anything else, but at the same time the beauty of this collaboration is that once we start talking, subjects just come up and we run with it. So instead of trying to figure out a gameplan for the next show, we're just going to let it unfold naturally and see where each one takes us...rest assured whatever we discuss it will be with our own unique flair and about mental health.We hope you enjoy this latest episode, and yes if you do have suggestions for future shows, we are still taking them. ;)Be sure and follow Wes on Twitter @WesA1966 and Mike @Mike_Douglas_ & Open_Journal_ …oh and don’t forget to follow and subscribe to all of our shows on your favorite podcasting app!-Matt Pappas, CLC, CPNLP All conversation and information exchanged during participation the Beyond Your Past Podcast, on BeyondYourPast.com, and BeyondYourPastRadio.com is intended for educational and informational purposes only.

This panel discussion was the third and final instalment this MPavilion season of Open Journal‘s popular and thought-provoking series High Density Happiness. It looked at property ownership alternatives, from enforced re-sale restrictions in Brunswick’s Nightingale development, to more complex shared ownership structures and co-housing. The panel explored whether a new ownership framework could be the answer to affordable housing, and considered whether we might see a split market soon emerge. Underpinning these discussions is the idea that we truly do live in a time where generation-long housing stability has long given way, and these ownership alternatives could soon become the new normal. Speakers: Katherine Sundermann (MGS Architects); Tim Riley (Property Collectives); Tom Alves (University of Melbourne); Nicola Foxworthy (Common Equity Housing Limited); and moderator Laura Phillips (Open Journal).

As the housing affordability topic rises in our minds in unison with rental and purchase prices, Australian state and local governments have started investigating the possibility of helping propagate a build-to-rent housing sector. Described as ‘radical’ by Australian press, but an initiative common in the USA and the UK, build-to-rent communities involve development designed with the intent of long-term—sometimes indefinite—leases. Providing long-term security for residents, and touted as a topical treatment for the housing affordability crisis, building to rent is the topic of this High Density Happiness talk brought to you by Open Journal. In this panel discussion lead by Laura Philips join Sam Tarascio, James Tutton, Nerida Conisbee and Matthew Palm to discuss the impact of the build-to-rent model across different spheres: from design implications and creating strong communities to the cultural acceptance of long-term renters and how to form the policy towards security of tenure.

Welcome back to Ep 4 of the Mental Health Megacast! An ongoing series with @AudioRising and @Open_Journal_ . We three dudes get together as often as we can in a round table discussion and talk about mental health related concerns. This episode focuses on recovery from abuse, addiction, and self harm and how to avoid burnout during recovery. We talk about our own coping skills, our own experience with burnout, and some of our personal stories of survivor journies. I hope you'll check it out, and feel not only validated and encouraged but also enjoy a smile or two as we always have some fun in the midst of these tough topics. I hope this episode resonates with you, and if you would be so kind as to share it with someone who might need it too, that would be amazing. We are all survivors together, navigating this healing journey. Be sure and check out www.SurvivingMyPast.net - and follow me on social media.

Despite the fact that the built environment affects all of us daily, directing our movements and shaping how we live, it remains determined by a male-dominated property industry. This panel focused on representation of women across all fields of decision-making in the built environment from policy to design, and looks at ways to support, promote and increase gender equality across the industry. Listen back to this MTalks panel, a part of the always-engaging High Density Happiness series of talks presented by Open Journal, and join Amy Mullins, Laura Philips, Danielle Savio and Angus McNaughton.
Though Adam Becker loved science as a kid, he struggled in school -- until he met first-grade teacher Mrs. Brown. Adam Becker is a writer, astrophysicist, and science publishing troublemaker. He is currently writing a book about the sordid untold history of quantum physics, which will be published in spring 2018 by Basic Books. He is also the managing editor of the Open Journal of Astrophysics, and a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley's Office for History of Science and Technology. Originally hailing from a tiny town in northern New Jersey, he earned a PhD in physics from the University of Michigan studying the arrangement of stuff in the very early universe. These days, he lives in Oakland, California, with his wife, Elisabeth, who is a writer, and their pet rabbit Copernicus, who is not. You can find him online at freelanceastro.com and @freelanceastro.

The conversation around architectural design at all levels—from breakfast bars to boardrooms—has rarely been louder. And with Victoria looking at introducing an apartment design standards framework, this panel focuses on suggested improvements to the design review process, minimum size standards and aesthetic guidelines that would support quality, adaptable and sustainable housing. With these changes firmly in their minds, listen back to Minister for Planning Richard Wynne, Simon Knott of BKK Architects, James Tutton from Neometro, and director of MAArchitects Karen Alcock for this MTalks event brought to you by Open Journal. If you’re interested in the way we live now and the way we will into the future, get this on your playlist for the day ahead!
I continue to be horrified by guidelines issued by the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology, which speak of giving statin drugs to healthy people. Meanwhile, draft recommendations from the US Preventive Task Force have issued new directives claiming that healthy people should be taking statin drugs as a “preventative against possible future illness.” Their main plan is to see one third of all adults in the United States are put on statin drugs—44% of all men and 22% of all women—even if none of these people have ever had a previous heart attack or stroke. Statins are the most widely prescribed drugs on the market. One in four Americans over 45 are already on statins, despite more than 900 studies reporting dangerous side effects from these drugs. These range from heightened risks of cancer and diabetes to sexual problems, neuropathy, and liver dysfunction, as well as immune system suppression, and even a higher risk of cataracts. In Britain too, statins are the most commonly prescribed drugs, costing the NMS £450 million a year. Now 40% of adults (175 million people) are being advised to take the drug. If the new directives are put into practice by the UK medical establishment—as they are likely to be—the numbers of men and women being prescribed statins could well become legion. What are statins anyway? Statins are a group of drugs prescribed to lower cholesterol levels by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a central role in the production of cholesterol in the liver. Statins have many different names, such as Lipitor, Lescol, Mevacor, Altocor, and Zocor. These drugs are prescribed on the assumption that they will lower the risks of cardiovascular events and strokes. The new directives assert that, if given to healthy people, they could help protect the population from heart attacks and strokes at some time in the future. Happily, a growing number of cardiologists are strongly opposed to the new directives. What’s the problem with statins? Plenty: They deplete your body of CoQ10, which is essential for every cell in your body, and ubiquinol. Both CoQ10 and ubiquinol keep the so-called bad cholesterol from doing harm to your body. However, very few mainstream doctors are ever aware of these dangers. One exception is cardiologist Steven Sinatra, founder of the New England Heart Center. Sinatra recommends that anyone taking statins should take between 100 and 200 mg of CoQ10 or ubiquinol each day as protection. Statins lower Vitamin K2 in the body. This puts you at risk of deficiency of this vitamin, which contributes to chronic diseases, such as osteoporosis, cancer, and brain disease. Long-term statin use—10 years or so—has been shown to increase your risk of diabetes, neurogenerative diseases, musculoskeletal problems, and even cataracts. Dr. Eric Topol, highly respected cardiologist and Professor of Genomics at Scripps Research Institute in California, wrote an excellent article for The New York Times Opinion Page in which he warns: “We’re overdosing on cholesterol-lowering statins.” Topol is especially concerned about the sharp increase in the prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes that is occurring in people using them. He writes: “Statins have been available since the 1980s but their risk of inducing diabetes did not surface for nearly 20 years. When all the data available from multiple studies was pooled in 2010 for more than 91,000 patients randomly assigned to be treated with a statin or a sugar pill (placebo), the risk of developing diabetes with any statin was one in every 255 patients treated. But this figure is misleading since it includes weaker statins like Pravachol and Mevacor—which were introduced earlier and do not carry any clear-cut risk. It is only with the more potent statins—Zocor (now known as simvastatin), Lipitor (atorvastatin), and Crestor (rosuvastatin)—particularly at higher doses—that the risk of diabetes shows up. The cause and effect was unequivocal because the multiple large trials of the more potent statins had a consistent excess of diabetes.” Meanwhile, a recent study by Jean A. McDougall and her colleagues in the Journal of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention reveals that long-term use of statins increases the risk of both lobular and ductal breast cancer in women between 55 and 74. I am no doctor, but what I have learned during my more than forty years of writing and broadcasting on health is this: When a body is restored to healthy functioning naturally, the need for medication is either dramatically reduced or, more often than not, eliminated altogether. Statins, like most pharmaceuticals, only mask symptoms—they do not heal. Only nature can heal from within. My advice to anyone thinking of accepting the new directives is this: Before you agree to take statins, research the implications of doing so. Learn as much as you can about statin drugs. There are excellent natural alternatives, such as inexpensive dietary changes. So, if your doctor wants to prescribe statins for you, you can be sure you have done your homework. Then you’ll know yourself if these drugs are appropriate for you. Chances are they are not. Here are a few recommendations for where to start your research: U-T San Diego “Doctors assail new guidelines for statins: 18 November, 2013 Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention; Published Online First July 5, 2013; doi: 10.1158/1055-9965.EPI-13-0414 http://www.greenmedinfo.com/toxic-ingredient/statin-drugs.

Dr. Brady, you have emphasized the topic of autoimmune disorders in many of your publications, your professional lectures and your private practice. What developed your interest in this topic so keenly? You published a paper in the Open Journal of Rheumatology & Autoimmunity in 2013 which garnered a lot of attention titled: Molecular Mimicry, the Hygiene Hypothesis, Stealth Infections and Other Examples of Disconnect Between Medical Research and the Practice of Clinical Medicine in Autoimmune Disease. That is quite a title. Why did this paper stimulate such a buzz? You suggest that autoimmune disease is a “modern epidemic” and that rates of autoimmune disease have quadrupled in the last fifty years. What are some of the reasons for that? In your publications, including the one mentioned above, you bring up several specific hypotheses related to why autoimmune diseases have become so prevalent in the Western industrialized countries. I would like to ask you specifically about some of them, including: – Molecular mimicry – Hygiene Hypothesis – Stealth Infections My understanding is that some people are being diagnosed with celiac disease that do not have the genes. Are we seeing a turn in the tide? Are people without some sort of genes toward autoimmunity now becoming autoimmune? Do you use soil-based probiotics in your autoimmune patients? On the topic of stealth infections, why aren't more doctors testing for and picking up on these infections? Do you empirically put your autoimmune patients on antibiotics for infections you know are associated with these diseases, or do you first treat them with the standard functional medicine approach (an elimination diet, healing the gut, dealing with toxins, and treating any obvious infections)? A few months ago a paper was circulating that pointed to salt as a stimulant for autoimmune disease. Is sea salt a concern, or is it simply salt from packaged foods that is a problem? Or is the problem caused by an imbalance in sodium and potassium? Finally, where do you practice? How can people find more information about you and this fascinating topic?
