Kelley Palomino joins us to share her personal and clinical insights into the powerful, often misunderstood world of mega potency homeopathy. After being dismissed by conventional doctors during her own neurological health crisis, Kelley turned to remedies like Opium, Restox, Calc Fluor, and Hydrastis—discovering firsthand how correctly used high potencies can shift chronic conditions. She explains how dosage, timing, and emotional states all influence outcomes, and why practitioners need to think differently when working at this level of potency.   Episode Highlights: 02:45 - Kelley's Own Health Struggles 04:24 - Finding the Right Remedies 07:34 - Mega Potencies and Their Impact 08:44 - Dealing with COVID and a Car Accident 11:23 - Creating the Spine Chart 12:48 - Using Mega Potencies for Pain Relief 17:08 - Understanding the Sphenoid Bone 19:10 - Facial Symptoms and Remedies 22:41 - Dosing and Personal Experiences 29:04 - Final Thoughts and Reflections 29:50 - Homeopathy and Chiropractic Synergy 30:40 - The Power of Homeopathy in Physical Adjustments 31:01 - Personal Experiences with Homeopathy 32:02 - Exploring Kinesiology and Muscle Testing 34:03 - Mega Potencies in Homeopathy 40:20 - Understanding Different Potency Scales 44:51 - Practical Applications and Case Studies 48:17 - Addressing Heavy Metals and Detoxification About my Guests: Kelley Palomino is a classically trained homeopath and a proud graduate of the Academy of Homeopathic Education (AHE), an esteemed institution accredited by ACHENA and recognized for exceeding the standards required for National Board Certification through the CHC.

Charles gives the listener a history lesson about how China commoditized opium in the 19th century. Today, they're peddling new goods to the American people: cheap stuff made in China. Federalist elections correspondent Brianna Lyman and journalist Batya Ungar-Sargon join Charles to discuss how U.S. consumer spending has spun out of control over the past decades, Americans' worries about credit card debts, and how tariffs seek to reign in this skyrocketing spending.

Annemieke Bosman in gesprek met schrijfster Judith Fanto. Fanto schreef al twee romans die zich afspelen in Wenen in de tijd van Gustav Mahler. Haar debuutroman Viktor is gebaseerd op de lotgevallen van de Weens-Joodse familie van Fanto en is een hartveroverende, waargebeurde familiegeschiedenis over de betekenis van familiebanden. Haar laatste roman Narcis kwam dit voorjaar uit. Daarin verhuist de tienjarige Manno, na de dood van zijn moeder, van Haarlem naar de door oorlog geteisterde wereldstad Wenen, 1916. De eisen die zijn nieuwe leven aan hem stelt, drijven hem tot wanhoop, tot hij op een zomerkamp vriendschap sluit met vijf leeftijdsgenoten. In de decennia die volgen overleeft hun hechte vriendschap de meest uiteenlopende beproevingen. Maar als Hitler aan de vooravond van de Tweede Wereldoorlog Oostenrijk binnenvalt, wordt het maatschappelijke persoonlijk en moet ieder van de vrienden kleur bekennen. Kun je een ander ooit ten diepste kennen? Vergt werkelijke vriendschap wel absolute openheid? Of is respect voor de geheimen van de ander juist het grondrecht van elke vriend? In dit onvergetelijke verhaal over vriendschap, verraad en vergelding combineert Judith Fanto opnieuw haar wonderschone stijl en historische kennis, die ze combineert met een vlijmscherp psychologisch inzicht.   Opium komt de hele week live uit het Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, vanwege het Mahler Festival 2025.

What led to the Second Opium War? Why wasn't China colonised by Europeans? When did China start referring to this period as the “century of humiliation” and how did this narrative shape nationalism in the 20th century? Anita and William are joined by Stephen R.

Brecht van Hulten in gesprek met sopraan Francis van Broekhuizen. Opium komt vanaf vandaag de hele week live uit het Concertgebouw in Amsterdam vanwege het Mahler Festival 2025. Vanavond is te gast sopraan Francis van Broekhuizen. Francis is naast fan van Maria Callas ook een liefhebber van het werk van Gustav Mahler. Zij heeft Mahler ook zelf op haar repertoire staan, zoals de Rückert-Lieder en de Kindertotenlieder. Die zingt ze samen met haar vaste pianiste Femke de Graaf. Francis van Broekhuizen is een veelgevraagde zangeres. Ze zong diverse rollen bij Opera Spanga, Opera Zuid, Opera Trionfo en de Nationale Opera. Op TV was ze te zien als deelnemer van De Slimste Mens en De Verraders. In het theater staat Francis van Broekhuizen momenteel met Dominic Seldes in de voorstelling The Francis and Dominic Show.

In this episode of Gangland Wire, Gary Jenkins sits down with retired FBI agent and organized crime historian Bill Ouseley for a deep dive into the Mob's transition from bootlegging during Prohibition to dominating the narcotics trade. Ouseley, known for his books Open City and Mobsters in Our Midst, shares insights from his years investigating the Kansas City crime family and the Vegas skimming cases. The conversation traces how organized crime evolved after Prohibition, finding new profit in the rising black market for drugs. From the early days when narcotics were sold in pharmacies and corner stores to the complex, international networks run by the Mob, Ouseley explains how organized crime adapted and thrived. Jenkins and Ouseley discuss the rise of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics in 1930, the societal shift in attitudes toward drug use, and how policy changes created a perfect storm for the Mob to exploit. Ouseley highlights how figures like Harry Anslinger pushed for punitive drug laws that unintentionally fueled organized crime, and how the government's focus on punishment over treatment helped entrench addiction and criminal networks.

Welcome to Gangland Wire. I have a friend of mine that I'm interviewing today. You might notice there's not going to be any video with a bunch of images in there. It's FBI agent Bill Ouseley. Bill, he was the case agent for all the skimming from Las Vegas cases from the Kansas City end. We worked with him over the years hand in glove in the intelligence unit. And he's a good guy. He still lives in Kansas City. He's written a couple of books, by the way. He's got Open City, which is the history of the Kansas City mob, starting back in the Black Hand days and going all the way up till about the time he came here in the early 60s. Then he wrote a second book, which is really about his career and all the different cases he worked with additional information about the local Savella family, which would have been the Savella family by the time he got here in the, I think, 1964, maybe. I graduated from high school in 63.   [1:02] Today, we're going to talk about the history of the mob and narcotics. You know, it's all a much-discussed subject that whether they approve of them dealing in narcotics. You know, they do on the QT, they do in different ways. They invest money, maybe loan money and high rates of interest, if you will, to narcotics dealers or some of them, you know, deal directly. You know, the Bonanno family was famous for dealing directly with narcotics. Genovese went to jail for dealing in narcotics. So historically.   [1:34] Kansas City, I don't believe Nick Savella really, he did not approve of it. He didn't allow his guys to do it directly. There were some people that were indirectly involved in narcotics. Now, whether they kicked money up or whether they were using their own money or somebody else's money to invest in these narcotics operations,

Mit dem Buch Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo wurde die drogenabhängige Jugendliche Christiane F. zum Sinnbild einer von Drogen gezeichneten Jugend der 1970er und 1980er Jahre. Bis heute prägt ihr Bild die gesellschaftliche Vorstellung von Sucht in Deutschland. Doch historisch hat Sucht viele Gesichter: Ob die Opium konsumierende Apotheker-Gattin um 1900, der mit Pervitin versorgte Frontsoldat im Zweiten Weltkrieg oder der koksende Manager der 1980er Jahre. In einem Werkstattgespräch mit Prof. Dr. Annelie Ramsbrock (Universität Greifswald) diskutieren wir, wie Sucht in unterschiedlichen historischen Kontexten definiert, problematisiert und reguliert wurde Den Originalbeitrag und mehr finden Sie bitte hier: https://lisa.gerda-henkel-stiftung.de/zu_gast_bei_lisa_sucht_ramsbrock

The story of the Opium War is one of history's most consequential yet widely misunderstood conflicts. Professor Stephen Platt joined me to unravel the fascinating web of events that led Britain and China into a collision that would reshape Asia and the global balance of power for centuries to come.Far from being a simple tale of drug dealers backed by imperial force, Stephen reveals cultural misunderstandings, diplomatic failures, and economic pressures eventually converging with devastating consequences. We talked about the Canton trading system where all Western trade was restricted to a tiny compound "smaller than the footprint of one of the pyramids in Egypt," and how Britain's insatiable appetite for tea created a massive trade imbalance that would eventually be filled by opium.The conversation takes us through extraordinary attempts at cross-cultural communication, from James Flint (the only Englishman alive who could speak Chinese in 1759) to the disastrous McCartney Embassy where diplomatic relations collapsed over the kowtow ritual. Stephen explained how a panicking British captain effectively made Queen Victoria "the largest holder of opium in the world" by buying merchants' illegal drugs on the government's behalf—a fateful decision that created the legal pretext for war.Perhaps most surprising is how fiercely contested this war was within Britain itself, with Parliament nearly voting to end the conflict by a margin of just five votes. The Times of London coined the term "Opium War" specifically to shame the government for fighting on behalf of drug dealers.Join us for this exploration of a pivotal moment when two civilizations, each convinced of their own superiority, failed to understand one another with consequences that continue to echo in our time.Stephen's book Imperial Twilight concentrates on the causes of the war more than the war itself. And in particular the people at the heart of it all. Utterly brilliant stuff.You can send a message to the show/feedback by clicking here.

In this episode, we go over more intricacies with my stories in the opium world

In this episode, we delve deep into the dark world of opium. The beginning of some of the craziest stories that I saw when I was a child.

ONE OF THE most significant events in the history of the world took place in 1892, when a corrupt political hack named James Lotan managed to land a cushy government job as the head of the customs inspection service for the Port of Portland. Believe it or not, Lotan's landing that job led directly to Pearl Harbor and eventually Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and indirectly to the defeat of Nazi Germany in Europe. Not bad for a small-time white-collar criminal in a tiny backwater seaport town on the far side of the world, eh? I realize you may be a bit skeptical of this claim. Bear with me while I unpack it and prove it to you, along with the strong possibility that most of us owe our lives and the continued existence of human civilization to James Lotan and the sleazy little band of well-heeled drug smugglers and human traffickers who worked with and for him, on the Portland waterfront in the early 1890s.... (Portland, Multnomah County; 1890s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/2408a-1202d.james-lotan-opium-king-661.161.html)

In the first installment of what will be a two-part feature, we'll talk about Lin Zexu, a visionary reformer and steadfast opponent of the opium trade, who played a pivotal role in defending China's sovereignty and shaping its policies through his unwavering commitment to public health and national defense.

In this episode, we explore the striking parallels between the 19th-century Opium Wars and modern digital addiction. Just as Britain and France used opium to weaken and control China, today's wireless technologies—search engines, social media, short-form videos, and pornography—exploit human vulnerabilities to create a new kind of dependency.We'll start with a brief history of the Opium Wars, then shift to the "wireless opium dens" of today, where digital addiction keeps people locked in a cycle of endless engagement while increasing their RF radiation exposure. Many struggle to give up their smartphones—their primary source of personal radiation—until it's too late. But breaking free is possible, and this episode offers a plan to help.We'll also touch on a fascinating bit of 1990s tech that foreshadowed today's digital addiction, along with an update on the Spring 2025 New Career in EMF Assessment class.If you're ready to reclaim your autonomy and health in a world designed to keep you hooked, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Jamie Lo discuss the complex topic of marijuana and the fetal brain. Dr. Lo explains some of the findings from a study of over 3 million pregnant individuals in California, why pregnant individuals may choose to use marijuana, the links between THC exposure in the fetal brain and long-term neurodevelopmental issues, and why this conversation is becoming increasingly important for healthcare providers to have with their patients. Dr. Lo emphasizes the importance of both maternal and fetal health, the need for better public health campaigns, and increased education for healthcare providers to address the rising use of cannabis during pregnancy.     Key Takeaways: More people now use marijuana than alcohol. The prevalence of pregnant individuals ranges from about 2-5% up to 30% depending on socioeconomic status, region, and other factors.  The reasons that pregnant individuals report marijuana use are typically for nausea, vomiting, sleep, insomnia, and mental health as well as management of pain and stress. Marijuana is not safer just because it is “plant-based”. Opium, tobacco, and alcohol are all also plant-based.  We need clearer public health messaging around cannabis. The information widely available now is often confusing or stigmatized.   "Cannabis, unlike other drugs, is not related to birth defects, but there is an increased risk for preterm birth, small for gestational age babies, increased risk for stillbirth, as well as longer-term effects that are more subtle but are very important." —  Dr. Jamie Lo, MD   Connect with Dr. Jamie Lo, MD: Professional Bio: https://www.ohsu.edu/people/jamie-lo-md-mcr    Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Jonathan Keeperman, aka "Lomez," explains why defunding USAID is an urgent necessity for defanging global wokeness and the American "intelligence community." He also reacts to the vicious doxing of young men involved in Elon Musk's DOGE operation.

This week Prof Alan Lester joins Phil to lift the lid on a little known - but certainly scandalous - slice of British imperial history - the Opium Wars. There's much debate today about slavery and how much - or little - it contributed to the wealth of the great European empires. But much less is known about the role that Britain and other empires played in the hugely profitable opium trade, and the one-sided wars that were waged to stop Chinese emperors from banning it. It's a fascinating tale of greed, opportunism and skulduggery in high places.You can buy Alan's books, and all the books we feature on the podcast here, along with thousands of others...https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-truth-about-empire-real-histories-of-british-colonialism-alan-lester/7595887?aid=12054&ean=9781911723097&***We now have a Thank You button (next to the 'three dots') for small donations that help support our work***Looking for the perfect gift for a special scandalous someone - or someone you'd like to get scandalous with?

8. Predigt der Serie | Predigt von Thomas Kräuter | Das Evangelium zeigt, wie Gott die bestehenden Machtverhältnisse auf den Kopf stellt. Bereits in den ersten Kapiteln des Lukasevangeliums wird das besonders deutlich. Um seinen Heilsplan mit der Welt zu schreiben, entscheidet sich Gott in seiner Gnade für ein altes Ehepaar ohne Kinder und für ein einfaches, junges Mädchen namens Maria. Dazu sind es Hirten – Menschen am Rand der Gesellschaft – die die ersten Zeugen der Geburt des Messias werden. Es sind die Mächtigen der Welt, die ihre Ohnmacht vor Gottes Reich erkennen müssen. Das Evangelium ist also nicht, wie manche in Anlehnung an Karl Marx behaupteten, "Opium für das Volk", also eine Art Betäubungsmittel, das uns nur ruhigstellt, sondern eine Botschaft von Gottes Handeln, das die Welt verändert! Mehr über die Predigtserie "Gott stellt die Welt auf den Kopf" auf evangeliumsgemeinde.wien

C'est le moment qu'il ne fallait pas rater dans l'émission du jour : Après une année noire, marquée par les polémiques des droits TV, des joueurs qui jouent trop, des audiences en baisse, de l'intérêt en baisse, du mondial annoncé en Arabie Saoudite ou encore de la coupe du monde des clubs, le foot va-t-il dans le mur ? Oui selon certaines Grandes Gueules. Pas selon Marc Madiot.

TrineDay's The Journey Podcast 169Ari Ben-MenasheIntelligence Agencies Create Narratives (Will There Be Peace in the Middle East?)Summary and paraphrasing:Kris wanted to talk about intelligence work and geopolitics. His father had been in intelligence (the CIA) and he told Kris some things. Kris had to read a lot of books about intelligence to understand what he had been told.Kris: We're doing a book right now called TWO WORLD WARS AND HITLER: Who was Responsible? Its main idea is that Britain was very concerned about Germany and Russia getting together, because then they could control the heartland [of central Asia] and then they could quote-unquote control the world. So, in the late 1800s, Britain started laying a path toward World War I. Then once in the war, they prolonged it. Americans and British and other people shipped foodstuffs to keep the German army going so the war could continue to last.After the war, they got Germany into such a state that they signed a piece of paper saying that they were responsible for the war. And when you really look at it, [you find that is not true]. Then we manipulated the economy and sent in agents to raise up Hitler so that they could have a second war. Is that true, Ari, to your understanding?Ari: Yeah. The British probably did that. Yes. After the first World War, they helped a lady named Rosa Luxemburg take over Germany, and she singlehandedly destroyed the economy. When an extreme lefty takes over, the next thing is that a real rightwing fascist Nazi will take over because that's what the people will want. From one extreme to the other.Kris: Right.Ari: And she was Jewish. So, when Hitler's regime takes over, they all hated Jews. And the communist revolution in Russia was also Jewish people. [Helped with money from non-Jews.] So, the troubles of the world could be blamed on the Jews. That's how World War 2 started. And Hitler was going to go after the Russians. But he was willing to deal with them, and tried to do regime change, and shared Poland with them. And that really scared the Brits. Yes, the Brits instigated the two world wars.Kris: When I look at intelligence deeply, really what I see is the creation of narratives.Ari: Absolutely right.Kris: The creation of the mega-narratives to influence history, you might say. For instance, my father told me, “The Vietnam War is about drugs. There are these secret societies behind it. And communism is all a sham. These same secret societies are behind it all. It's all a big game.” I thought he was nuts. But he wasn't. He'd been branch chief, head of the East Asia Analysis Office for the CIA, among other things.OPIUM, EMPIRE AND THE GLOBAL POLITICAL ECONOMY by Dr. Carl Trocki basically says, whoever controls the opium trade in a country, since the 1800s, controls that country's economy. With that huge pile of money, they corrupt things, so we don't really live in a “real” world. We live in a manufactured world [of the narratives they give us].For instance, people tell me that Richard Nixon [accelerated up the ladder of success] by blackmailing the Dulles brothers after World War 2. He found that they were bringing many, maybe thousands, of Nazis here against President Truman's direct written orders. Nixon goes from being a representative in '46, to the Senate in ‘50, to vice president in 1952. They used Nixon then in this big drama they create for the American people. It's quite a mess, really.Ari: Intelligence agencies create narratives for their political masters. For instance, they created a narrative that Assad in Syria was a monster, murdering his own people, in order to get rid of him. Now the people that took over Syria are considered peaceniks. Wonderful people. But remember who they are. They are al Qaeda people. We didn't like al Qaeda. Now we love them. You asked about narratives in intelligence. There we go. There we are.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmA blustery Donald Trump statement threatening large tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports (plus increased tariffs on Chinese goods) raises the question of why the outgoing Biden administration, the lame-duck Congress, and the broader civil society have taken few proactive steps to create obstacles to coming Trump abuses.Matt and Brian discuss:* Is the opposition simply exhausted?* Do Democrats and Trump-wary Republicans in Congress simply think he's full of shit?* Is it wiser to take a wait-and-see approach (will Pete Hegseth actually be confirmed? does Trump really intend to impose these tariffs?) than to push back before the damage is done?Then, behind the paywall, a more detailed discussion of how the administration is battening down the hatches ahead of Trump's presidency, and what more should be done. Is it better to frustrate Trump's ambitions than to let him sweep in and do toxic, politically damaging stuff? Can institutional memory be preserved, outside the administration if necessary, so Trump can't do irrevocable damage to stuff the government does well? And what's a better, holistically: honey or maple syrup? Opium or cocaine?All that, plus the full Politix archive are available to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed. Further reading:* Matt on why Trump's stunt-based form of “leadership” might not work out under current economic conditions. * Brian on why Democrats should start thinking now about how they'll go about rebuilding, if and when they ever retake government. * Flashback to 2000, when the George W. Bush campaign discussed its plans to reject the election results if won the popular vote but lost the lost the Electoral College.

2/2. The British Empire aggressively pursued the opium trade well into the 19th century, fueling an addiction epidemic within China. The Qing government was determined to stamp out this destructive trade, leading to the First and Second Opium Wars. But the British Royal Navy was at its apogee, and re-exerted British control over the Chinese state. In the infamous final chapter of this story, British and French forces looted and destroyed the Imperial Summer Palace in Beijing stealing everything from priceless art to the Emperor's Pekinese dogs.In the second episode of a two-part mini-series Dan and Dr Jeremiah Jenne, a professor of Late Imperial and Modern China, delve into the history of the Opium trade in the British Empire, how it brought crisis to China and started a war that still impacts China's relationship with the west today.Produced by Mariana Des Forges and edited by Dougal Patmore.Enjoy unlimited access to award-winning original documentaries that are released weekly and AD-FREE podcasts.
