NIH's Initiative to Prioritize Human-Based Research a ‘Big Win for Animals,' Says Doctors Group “Animal experiments are poorly representative of human health and disease and rarely predictive of drug efficacy, safety, and toxicity in humans. The reliance on animals is a direct contributor to high failure rates in the drug development pipeline.” Listen to today's episode from Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine at PCRM.org #vegan #plantbased #plantbasedbriefing #vivisection #nonanimalmethods #animalmethodsbias #animalexperimentation #drugfailurerates ================== Original post: https://www.pcrm.org/news/news-releases/nihs-initiative-prioritize-human-based-research-big-win-animals-says-doctors  ================== Related Episodes: 981: Elon Musk's Cruel Brain Experiments Under SEC Investigation https://plantbasedbriefing.libsyn.com/981-elon-musks-cruel-brain-experiments-under-sec-investigation-from-physicians-committee-for-responsible-medicine-at-pcrmorg    870: The Fierce Battle to Stop a Massive Monkey-Breeding Facility in Georgia https://plantbasedbriefing.libsyn.com/870-the-fierce-battle-to-stop-a-massive-monkey-breeding-facility-in-georgia-by-jordi-casamitjana-at-unchainedtvcom   869: History of the Anti-Vivisection Movement https://plantbasedbriefing.libsyn.com/869-history-of-the-anti-vivisection-movement-from-animal-free-science-advocacy    Test Subjects Short Film: https://lockwoodfilm.com/test-subjects   The Medical Illusion Documentary: https://evotionfilms.com  ================== The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is a non-profit organization founded by Dr. Neal Barnard, combining the clout and expertise of more than 12,000 physicians, dietitians, and scientists and almost 200,000 members worldwide.

For Hypertension Awareness Month, we are fortunate to have Dr. Robert Ostfeld, a cardiologist at Montefiore Medical Center, join us to talk about lifestyle approaches for treating – and preventing – high blood pressure. In this episode, Dr. Ostfeld explains the numbers, the symptoms – or lack of symptoms – and the associated risks. A self-confessed “reformed cardiologist,” he talks about how he saw his patients who adopted a plant-based diet significantly lower their blood pressure. Not ready to go totally plant-based? Dr. Ostfeld says simply adding more fruits, vegetables and whole grains to your diet can help lower not only your blood pressure but also your risk for heart disease, stroke and dozens of other conditions.   The Takeaway We want to hear from you!

Heart disease is the number one killer. But what if you could know your risk factors far in advance? Some cutting-edge tests are changing the game in cardiovascular health, and they're more accessible than you might think.  In this episode, Dr. Joel Kahn sheds light on the critical role of early detection and intervention in preventing heart disease. Dr. Kahn, a leading cardiologist, emphasizes the significance of identifying atherosclerosis, the primary culprit behind heart disease, through advanced technology scans before you start feeling any symptoms.  Listen to this episode and start preventing rather than lamenting your heart health! Episode Notes Dr. Joel Kahn stresses that even individuals with seemingly healthy lifestyles can have significant plaque buildup in their arteries, highlighting the importance of regular screenings.  Benefits of Coronary Artery Calcium Scans The Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) scan is a valuable tool for detecting plaque in the arteries, providing crucial insights into cardiovascular health. This scan is recommended for individuals at risk of heart disease, such as those with a family history of high cholesterol. Early detection through the CAC scan can help in developing preventive strategies and maintaining heart health. Detect Heart Disease Early Early detection of heart disease is crucial in preventing its potentially fatal consequences. Tools like the CAC scan and AI-assisted CT scans provide detailed information about cardiovascular health, enabling you to take proactive steps towards maintaining a healthy heart. Regular screening and early intervention can significantly improve cardiovascular health outcomes. Prevent Atherosclerosis Atherosclerosis, the buildup of plaque in arteries, is a significant factor in heart disease and other health issues like erectile dysfunction. Regular screening, including the CAC scan, can help prevent the progression of atherosclerosis. By addressing risk factors and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, you can reduce your chances of developing heart disease.

If a person is pre-diabetic and they want my advice, the very first thing I would say is don't eat anything with a mother. When I found out that animal products caused inflammatory responses in the body, I knew my issue was inflammation. I remembered someone said that you can heal your body with food. Found it, and that's what started my searching for a different way. It's weight, and it's health. If I had to choose between one or the other, I would take health in a minute. I don't know anyone in my personal life who eats better than I do, and there is no way that I want to go back to that chronic pain, constant pain.” -  Sharme Ridley   What we discuss in this episode: - Sharme's journey transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle and the lessons she learned. - Her insights on fasting and its role in her wellness routine. - Understanding autophagy: what it is and how it works. - Practical tips and strategies Sharme uses to stay on a healthy path. - Sharme's advice for those who are pre-diabetic. - Recommendations for new vegans or anyone curious about trying a vegan diet. - What a typical day of meals looks like for Sharme, along with some of her favorite dishes, go-to recipes, and how she keeps her meals flavorful and nutritious. - Tips for cooking without oil, including Sharme's sautéing techniques. - Sharme's work with CNS Kitchen.   Resources: - Sharme Ridley: https://nutritionstudies.org/author/sridley/ - Atlanta Creole: https://www.youtube.com/@AtlantaCreole/videos - Plant-based Atlanta Creole: https://www.facebook.com/atlantacreole/ - CNS Kitchen - cnskitchen.nutritionstudies.org - http://cnskitchen.nutritionstudies.org - WFPB Cooking: A Beginner's Course - https://nutritionstudies.org/courses/wfpb-cooking-beginners/ - WFPB Cooking: Meal Planning Made Easy - https://nutritionstudies.org/courses/wfpb-cooking-meal-planning/ - Get Ready for Thanksgiving! with Forks Over Knives Chef Del Sroufe - https://switch4good.org/get-ready-for-thanksgiving-with-forks-over-knives-chef-del-sroufe/ - Let's Eat with Forks Over Knives' Chef Del! - Switch4Good - https://switch4good.org/lets-eat-with-forks-over-knives-chef-del/   ★☆★ Click the link below to support the ADD SOY Act! ★☆★ https://switch4good.org/add-soy-act/ ★☆★ Share the website and get your resources here ★☆★ https://kidsandmilk.org/ ★☆★ Send us a voice message and ask a question.

For many years now, medical schools around the country have ceased using live animals to perform procedures as part of the curriculum. But in a minority of surgical residencies, residents operate on animals – often pigs – to practice techniques to be used on human patients. Oregon Health & Science University is in that minority. For years, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has been waging a campaign to get OHSU’s OB/GYN residency program to stop using pigs for doctors in training to practice reproductive surgeries on. At the same time, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is asking the hospital to stop using the animals in all of its surgical residencies in all branches of the hospital.  OHSU declined to participate in this conversation, but Dr. Kerry Foley, a retired emergency medical doctor who volunteers for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, joins us to share her views on best practices for surgical training and why those do not include using animals.

Insulin is like a key that unlocks a door in our muscle cells primarily so we can store sugar in the form of glycogen and use that for physical activity. And when we get too much fat in the muscle cells, eating this kind of standard Western diet – meat, dairy heavy – some of that fat ends up in the muscle. So it clogs up, jams up the lock from the inside so that insulin can't unlock the door, and so your sugar levels start to go up. And over time, that puts more and more strain on our pancreas, which is the organ that makes insulin, and so we start out with this insulin-resistant state, prediabetes metabolic syndrome, and then that progresses over time through to type two diabetes.” - Dr. Jim Loomis   What we discuss in this episode: - The health risks associated with cooking oils and Caryn's practical tips for oil-free cooking. - Grilled meat and carcinogenic compounds. - The critical role of fiber in your diet. Dr. Loomis's daily fiber recommendations.  - Caryn's practical tips for boosting fiber intake in your daily meals. - Techniques to enhance the flavor of your dishes without relying on excessive salt. - Food recommendations for optimal health. - The truth about lectins and phytates.   Resources:  - Plant-Based Nutrition Healthcare Conference: International Plant-Based Nutrition Healthcare Conference - https://pbnhc.com/ - Center for Plant-Based Living: Center for Plant-Based Living - https://www.cpbl-stl.com/ - The Doc & Chef: The Doc and Chef — Center for Plant-Based Living - https://www.cpbl-stl.com/thedocandchef - The Doc & Chef YouTube: The Doc & Chef - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1z0-VXJyGx_QqNRQv6q_vw - STL Veg Girl: STL Veg Girl :: About - http://stlveggirl.com/about-caryn-dugan/ - Instagram: CARYN // Helping you to add more plants to your plate— easily!

What if there was an evidenced-based, food-as-medicine protocol for kick-starting weight-loss and keeping it off permanently? That's what my guest, Dr. Neal Barnard is back on the show to discuss! To remind you, Dr. Barnard is President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and was featured in Forks Over Knives, What The Health, Plant Pure Nation, Supersize Me, and many more incredible films, and has been a guest on this podcast probably 4-5 times now. His brand new book, The Power Foods Diet: The Breakthrough Plan That Traps, Tames, and Burns Calories for Easy and Permanent Weight Loss just released Tuesday, I was honored to get a copy and I am just pouring over every single word. Weight loss is one of our top health concerns, so much so that we keep looking for good ways to lose weight, preferably a way that is easy, effective, and permanent. It turns out that, when properly  chosen, certain foods cause weight loss, with no need for the deprivation and planning that most weight-loss regimens require.  In the book, Dr. Barnard reveals three breakthroughs that are supported by research, revealing that certain foods: 1.  can reduce the appetite 2.  trap calories so they are flushed away and cannot be absorbed, and, 3.  increase the body's ability to burn calories for about three hours after each meal.  These breakthroughs make weight loss incredibly easy, without calorie counting or deprivation. This diet encourages people to eat, not to stop eating. Dr. Barnard also reveals that some of the foods we think are good for us can actually be harmful, like salmon, goat cheese, and coconut oil, all of which pass easily into body fat...and often overstay their welcome.  To make it easy, Dr. Barnard includes a simple to follow meal plan that includes delicious, and even indulgent plant-based recipes which include foods we have often been told to avoid, like potatoes and pasta, so you can eat real food, and still lose real weight.
