826 They Spread the Word Concerning the Child, A Guided Christian Meditation on Luke 2:16-18 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in  and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ.  Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization.  You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrelaxing.  If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes.   Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:   Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate,  deflate. Scripture for Meditation NIV 16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. RSV 16 And they went with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 17 And when they saw it they made known the saying which had been told them concerning this child; 18 and all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. Reflection on Scripture: The Shepherds saw an angel and heavenly host and went to find the baby Jesus based on that guidance. They were able to see the baby Jesus and they knew he was from heaven. They became convinced of the truth of the Gospel of the coming of Christ. When they were given the chance to understand and rejoice with the baby Jesus, they went and shared what they knew. These Shepheards were not theologians. They were not wise.  I often meet people who love God but feel intimidated to talk about their faith because they dont have some deep understanding of the bible, ancient languages, or systematic theology. Yet even the most simple Christian has what these Shepherds have which is a knowledge of Jesus Christ. I wonder if the shepherds received more information that what we are given here. Did they understand the depth of Jesus' role? Did they understand what his coming earthly mission would look like? They probably did not understand the cross, or resurrection and yet they rushed to proclaim what they knew.  You have information about Jesus. If you know that Jesus Christ is the path to the Father and are dedicated to faithfully following him you will gain such more profound personal understanding. If you know Jesus is the Christ you possess a greater understanding about salvation that most people throughout History. YOu have been uniquely blessed with this Message of love. Do not hide it. Share the love. Not just the knowledge but the experiential love of God. During this time of year strive to be that message of love that proclaims the glory of God.  Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials. Summarize what insights you have gained during this meditation and meditate and visualize positive change in your life: This is a listener funded podcast at patreon.com/christianmeditationpodcast Final Question: If you consider the invitation and command to persevere in the faith, what change in your life does that bring to your mind?  FIND ME ON: Download my free app: Recenter with Christ Website - ChristianMeditationPodcast.com Voicemail - (602) 888-3795 Email: jared@christianmeditationpodcast.com Apple Podcasts - Christian Meditation Podcast Facebook.com/christianmeditationpodcast Youtube.com/christianmeditaitonpodcast Twitter - @ChristianMedPod

Respiratory vaccines are not just infection-fighters—they're cardiovascular protectors.

Send us a textGood morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today we dive into some of the most significant and exciting advancements shaping the industry.Let's start with a breakthrough coming out of recent clinical trials. A novel approach to treating Alzheimer's disease is making waves. Researchers have been focusing on a monoclonal antibody designed to target amyloid-beta plaques in the brains of patients suffering from this debilitating condition. The latest Phase 3 trial results have shown a promising reduction in cognitive decline among participants, offering a glimmer of hope for millions affected by Alzheimer's worldwide. The study, conducted over 18 months, involved more than 1,500 patients and demonstrated a statistically significant slowing of disease progression compared to placebo. This could mark a pivotal moment in Alzheimer's treatment, shifting the paradigm from symptomatic relief to disease modification.In regulatory news, the FDA has granted approval to a new gene therapy for hemophilia B. This therapy, developed using cutting-edge CRISPR technology, offers a potential cure for patients who have long relied on regular infusions to manage their bleeding disorder. By directly editing the genes responsible for clotting factor production, this therapy can potentially provide long-term relief with just a single administration. The approval follows extensive clinical trials that showed sustained increases in clotting factor levels and a dramatic reduction in bleeding episodes among participants. This development not only underscores the growing impact of genomic medicine but also highlights the regulatory body's commitment to advancing innovative treatments that meet unmet medical needs.Shifting focus, there's an intriguing trend emerging in oncology drug development. The industry is increasingly adopting personalized medicine approaches, tailoring treatments based on individual genetic profiles. This shift is particularly evident in the rise of targeted therapies and combination regimens designed to tackle cancer at its genetic roots. A recent study demonstrated how combining targeted therapies with immune checkpoint inhibitors can enhance treatment efficacy in certain types of cancer, such as melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer. By understanding the specific mutations driving tumor growth and leveraging the body's immune response, these combinations are setting new standards for cancer care.In another significant development, researchers have unveiled promising results from an innovative mRNA vaccine trial aimed at combating infectious diseases beyond COVID-19. The technology, which gained prominence during the pandemic, is now being applied to other viral threats like influenza and RSV. Early-phase clinical trials have shown robust immune responses and favorable safety profiles, suggesting mRNA vaccines could soon revolutionize how we approach vaccination for a variety of pathogens. This versatility and rapid development timeline make mRNA platforms particularly attractive for addressing emerging infectious diseases swiftly.Meanwhile, a new study has raised awareness about antibiotic resistance—a growing concern globally. Scientists have developed an advanced diagnostic tool capable of rapidly identifying bacterial infections and their resistance profiles within hours instead of days. This innovation can significantly impact how clinicians prescribe antibiotics, ensuring targeted treatments that minimize resistance development. By providing real-time insights into bacterial genetics and resistance mechanisms, this tool empowers healthcare providers to make informed decisions that preserve antibiotic efficacy for future generations.Lastly, let's toSupport the show

Flu, covid, pneumonia, shingles, RSV, measles - the number of vaccines available is big. How do you decide which ones to get?

CBC News has learned Ottawa and Alberta will sign MOU detailing their support for a potential new oil pipeline to BC's northwest coast. Ukraine says at least 7 people have been killed in overnight Russian strikes on Kyiv. Complaint filed against RCMP officers who arrested woman in St. John's while he was off duty and outside his jurisdiction. Celebrated author Thomas King says he is not Indigenous, as he had believed all his life. A Nova Scotia mother sounding says 14-year-old daughter targeted by online predators on school computer. Experts say vaccine rollouts for RSV in recent years are making a difference to the number of infant hospitalizations.

Remembering Colleen Jones. The 65-year-old was a world champion curler, and a member of the Order of Canada. She was also a longtime CBC personality, telling the stories of Canadians over a career that spanned four decades, starting in 1986 as Halifax's first woman sports anchor. Jones died today following a battle with cancer.And: For a deal that hasn't been officially announced yet, there's already a lot of debate in the House of Commons. Prime Minister Mark Carney was in Parliament today, defending a proposed energy agreement with Alberta. Plans the opposition says are moving too slow, while some in British Columbia worry about the idea itself.Also: Now that parents can immunize infants against RSV, hospitalizations are down roughly 80%. But not every province is publicly funding the pricey injections, so not all Canadians have equal access.Plus: Thomas King revelation reaction, more recall petitions in Alberta, optimism and apprehension in Ukraine peace talks, cuts to university sports programs, and more.

On this Public Health Thank You Day, ASTHO's Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Susan Kansagra, joins us to share encouraging news from the front lines of public health. Thanks to increased partnerships with birthing hospitals and the rollout of monoclonal antibodies for infants and the maternal RSV vaccine, infant RSV hospitalizations dropped nearly 30–40% last season, one of the most significant improvements in years. Dr. Kansagra also discusses a major decline in overdose deaths, driven by expanded community partnerships, naloxone distribution, peer support specialists, and innovative response programs.  Looking ahead, she explains what's next with the new $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Grant, how states plan to use this funding to strengthen workforce, behavioral health, chronic disease prevention, and health technology, and reflects on the collective hard work of the nation's public health workforce heading into the holiday season.

Send us a textIn this episode of NeoNews, the team returns from a brief hiatus with a refreshed format and a packed review of neonatal stories dominating recent headlines. Eli, Ben, and Daphna open with updates on RSV prevention, highlighting new MMWR data showing significant gaps in nirsevimab and maternal vaccine uptake—despite strong evidence and renewed availability. They discuss how supply chain issues, insurance delays, and vaccine confusion continue to limit access, and they emphasize the unique role neonatologists can play in counseling families early and often. The hosts also review concerning national trends in congenital syphilis, noting that many affected infants had parents who received prenatal care but were never tested—an avoidable systems failure with major downstream costs. Additional segments cover the severity of last year's influenza season, the emergence of new RSV monoclonal antibodies, and the rising use of polygenic risk scoring in IVF. The team reflects on the ethical tension between innovation and eugenics concerns, and how neonatal providers can prepare for these conversations. Finally, the deep dive explores Sherri Fink's powerful reporting on trisomy 18, variability in care across institutions, and the growing emphasis on transparent, value-driven shared decision-making with families.

As RSV season peaks, parents are being warned to watch for early symptoms of the virus. According to the HSE, RSV symptoms often begin with what appears to be a common cold. RSV infects most children by age two and is a leading cause of respiratory infections in infants. To find out what signs to look out for, Alan Morrissey was joined Máire Finn, GP at Ennis Centric Health on Wednesday's Morning Focus. Photo (c) Photo (c) by Kaspars Grinvalds via Canva

Samantha Rux with OSF HealthCare joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about the respiratory illness season and what illnesses are prevalent at the moment. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is on the rise in young children, especially those in daycare, according to OSF HealthCare pediatricians. Classic symptoms include red blisters on the hands, feet, and inside the mouth, along with fever, sore throat, and irritability. While most cases are mild and treated at home, parents should consult a doctor if high fever or worsening symptoms persist. Experts stress the importance of handwashing and disinfecting surfaces to limit the spread. In encouraging news, hospitals report fewer RSV hospitalizations this season, thanks to new prevention tools like maternal vaccines and infant antibodies. It's never too late to get flu, COVID-19, or RSV vaccinations to protect yourself and others. Talk with your primary care provider today regarding vaccinations. Find more information from the OSF HealthCare newsroom here.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 10-30-2025: Dr. Dawn opens with Halloween-themed scary medical stories, beginning with food toxins lurking in refrigerators and pantries. She explains how molds on grains and nuts, particularly Aspergillus species, produce aflatoxins that bind to DNA and cause liver cancer, making peanuts especially risky. Fusarium on wheat produces trichothecenes and fumonisins damaging cell membranes. Penicillium molds on fruits like apples produce patulin creating reactive oxygen species that harm organs. She advises discarding soft moldy foods entirely since fungal hyphae penetrate deeply, while hard cheeses can have moldy portions cut away. Meat spoilage involves bacteria producing cadaverine and putrescine, with E. coli, Campylobacter, Salmonella, and Clostridium causing severe illness through heat-stable toxins. A caller asks about yogurt-covered peanuts tasting rancid and confirms Botox contains botulinum toxin A in different salt forms, used medically for migraines, hyperhidrosis, and strabismus. The caller also describes paper-thin skin on sun-exposed forearms that bleeds easily. Dr. Dawn explains UV radiation damages collagen and elastin, making blood vessels vulnerable to shear forces. She recommends topical vitamin K products like Dermal K and protective lycra sleeves or gardening gauntlets to prevent injuries, emphasizing the need for annual dermatologic exams after extensive sun exposure. An emailer asks about RSV vaccine recommendations before overseas travel. Dr. Dawn disagreed with the couple's physician, citing US Preventive Services Task Force guidelines recommending RSV vaccination for all adults 60 and older, plus those 50+ with chronic conditions. She discusses FDA-approved home testing options including the PIXEL by LabCorp test for COVID, flu, and RSV, and iHealth rapid tests. She notes RSV point-of-care tests are available to medical practitioners and recommends thorough vaccination before international trips. Dr. Dawn presents a frightening investigation into private equity hospital bankruptcies, focusing on Steward Healthcare's 31 hospitals and Prospect's 16 facilities. Private equity firm Cerberus earned $700 million while Steward 650 documented incidents of deficient care including deaths. One woman died from hemorrhage after vendors repossessed equipment due to unpaid bills. She explains the shell game where companies sell hospital land to Medical Properties Trust, forcing new operators to pay rent while private equity extracts profits. The Brookings Institution study reveals systematic prioritization of investor returns over patient care, with courts failing to prevent these practices despite some states passing protective legislation. She discusses stillbirth rates being significantly underreported, with Harvard research showing actual rates of 1 in 147 pregnancies versus CDC's 1 in 175, worsening to 1 in 95 for black families. Over 70% involved known risks like obesity or diabetes, but 30% had no identifiable factors. Dr. Dawn emphasizes unconscious bias in medicine where women's complaints are dismissed, particularly affecting women of color and non-English speakers, noting both patient and provider biases require training to address. Dr. Dawn warns about HPV-related oral squamous cell carcinoma in young men, explaining that changing sexual practices over 30 years have created new transmission routes from genitals to mouth. Major risk factors include smokeless tobacco and hard alcohol which damage DNA. She mentions newly available saliva tests for persistent HPV detection, recommending risk factor reduction for positive cases. She concludes optimistically with a breakthrough Huntington's disease treatment using microRNA molecule AMT-130 delivered via virus to brain striatum. The treatment mirrors toxic Huntington protein's RNA, creating double-stranded structures cells destroy, preventing toxic protein accumulation. The three-year trial of 29 patients showed 75% slowing of disease progression with few side effects, offering hope for 100,000 Americans carrying the mutation, including 40,000 with current symptoms.

In this episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe sits down with Dr. Joel Gator Warsh, a pediatrician known for his refreshingly transparent and evidence-based approach to children's health. Together, they unpack one of the most emotionally charged topics in parenting—vaccines. HeHe and Dr. Gator talk openly about the gaps in vaccine research, the importance of truly informed consent, and what every parent deserves to understand before making decisions for their family. They explore everything from the new RSV vaccine and aluminum adjuvants to SIDS and medical ethics—all through the lens of curiosity, compassion, and critical thinking.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for October 30th Publish Date: October 30th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, October 30th and Happy birthday to Henry Winkler I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Walgreens and InCommunity partner to offer free vaccination clinics in Norcross A state representative steps down, creating another vacancy in the General Assembly Gwinnett senator to Kemp: Declare SNAP benefits emergency Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on carrots All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Ingles Markets 9 STORY 1: Walgreens and InCommunity partner to offer free vaccination clinics in Norcross Walgreens and InCommunity are hosting free vaccination clinics around the metro area, including one this Friday in Norcross. No insurance? No problem. Everyone’s welcome—individuals, families, whoever needs it. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., head to the Gwinnett Academic Assist Program Training Center at 1600 Oakbrook Drive. Flu shots, COVID boosters, RSV, shingles, pneumonia—you name it, they’ve got it. Licensed Walgreens pharmacists will be there to handle it all. And yes, it’s completely free. If you’ve got Medicaid or insurance, they’ll process it, but it’s not required. Walk-ins are fine, or register online through Walgreens. Don’t miss it! STORY 2: A state representative steps down, creating another vacancy in the General Assembly  Another Georgia lawmaker is stepping down, adding to the growing list of vacancies in the state legislature. Rep. Marcus Wiedower announced Tuesday he’s resigning after six years in the House. Why? His job at Hillpointe, a real estate development firm, is booming—13 states now, up from one when he started. “It’s bittersweet,” he said, explaining the travel demands would pull him away from the Capitol. Wiedower chaired the House Appropriations Subcommittee on General Government. A special election will be held to fill his seat in District 121, along with three others left vacant by resignations and, tragically, a death. Politics never slows down. STORY 3: Gwinnett senator to Kemp: Declare SNAP benefits emergency   State Sen. Nabilah Islam Parkes, is urging Gov. Brian Kemp to step in and help Georgia families who are about to lose their SNAP benefits because of the federal government shutdown. The shutdown, which started Oct. 1, has left Congress at a standstill, and now the USDA says SNAP benefits won’t be issued after Nov. 1. For 1.4 million Georgians—kids, seniors, working families—that’s a crisis. “Food isn’t optional. We have a moral duty to act.” She said. She’s asking Kemp to declare a state of emergency and use Georgia’s $14.6 billion surplus to provide aid, pointing to similar actions in Virginia and Louisiana. Meanwhile, the blame game rages on. But for families relying on SNAP? The politics don’t matter. They just need food. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 4: GDOT: Expect congestion near Netherworld on Halloween  If you’re heading to Netherworld this Halloween, brace yourself—it’s not just the haunted house that’ll be packed. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is warning drivers to expect traffic nightmares around metro Atlanta’s Halloween hotspots, especially Friday and Saturday. Netherworld, Six Flags, Stone Mountain Park, The Battery, and even Little 5 Points? All on the list of places where traffic’s gonna crawl. GDOT says the worst congestion will hit Friday from noon to 8 p.m. and Saturday from noon to 6 p.m. And don’t forget the neighborhoods. Trick-or-treaters will be out, so slow down, stay alert, and for the love of candy, don’t drive distracted—or worse, drunk. STORY 5: Helping Kids Shine: Former Athletes Bring KidStrong to Gwinnett to Boost Youth Confidence When Jordan and Shaun Wade moved to Atlanta, they were just looking for something—anything—that could help their 3-year-old son, Shiloh, come out of his shell. Confidence, they thought, was the key. Jordan, a former Team USA track star, and Shaun, an Ohio State football standout now with the Chicago Bears, tried a few programs. Nothing clicked. Then they found KidStrong in Alpharetta. KidStrong, a science-based program for kids (walking to age 11), focuses on emotional, mental, and physical growth. With over 160 locations nationwide, it’s helping 65,000 kids a week. And now, thanks to the Wades, it’s coming to Gwinnett County—Snellville in 2026, Lawrenceville in 2027. Though new to business, Jordan’s no stranger to leadership. A former captain of South Carolina’s track team, she’s ready to bring that same energy to KidStrong. For more info, visit kidstrong.com or email Jordan at jordan.wade@kidstrong.com.

Susan was once asked, "If you have to choose a scripture that captures your 'worldview,' what would it be?"After a moment of thinking, she came back with Micah 6:8, a verse that has been on one of her handy scripture notecards for as long as she could remember.To finish out our "The Word Speaks" series, Susan talks about what it means to follow the steps laid out in Micah 6:8 - with some help from Brook Smith.For more information on SOZO House, click here: SOZO House - Rest. Heal. Renew.If you are interested in the hermeneutics (the in-depth interpretation) of Micah 6:8 that Brook read on this episode, we've posted it below for you!via CHATGptExcellent question! Let's take a close hermeneutical look at Micah 6:8, especially the word translated mercy or kindness.⸻ The Verse (NIV)“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.And what does the Lord require of you?To act justly and to love mercyand to walk humbly with your God.”⸻ Key Hebrew WordThe word translated “mercy” or “kindness” in this verse is חֶסֶד (ḥesed).    •    Root meaning: It doesn't translate neatly into one English word. It's a rich Hebrew concept encompassing steadfast love, covenant faithfulness, loyalty, mercy, loving-kindness, goodness.    •    Some translations use kindness (ESV, NASB), others mercy (KJV, NIV), and still others steadfast love (ESV footnote, RSV).⸻ Hermeneutical Layers    1.    Lexical Analysis    •    ḥesed implies not just a feeling of kindness but a covenant-committed love.    •    It is often used to describe God's faithful love toward Israel (e.g., Exodus 34:6–7, Psalm 136).    2.    Contextual Analysis    •    Micah contrasts outward ritual sacrifices (vv. 6–7) with the inward life God desires.    •    Instead of “buying off” God with burnt offerings, He requires His people to live out justice (mishpat), mercy (ḥesed), and humility (ṣanaʿ).    •    Here, ḥesed is about faithful, relational love toward others, reflecting God's own covenant love.    3.    Theological Analysis    •    This isn't just about doing kind deeds; it's about embodying God's steadfast mercy in relationships.    •    It emphasizes ethical living flowing from covenant identity: God has shown mercy → His people must live mercifully.⸻ SummaryIn Micah 6:8, the word “mercy/kindness” (ḥesed) is best understood as:“Faithful, covenantal love expressed through compassionate action toward others, reflecting God's own loyal love.”So it's not only “be nice” or “show pity,” but live with steadfast loyalty, mercy, and loving-kindness as a way of life.

Elderberry syrup isn't everything an herbalist has to offer to someone suffering from a cold, the flu, COVID, RSV, or any of the other respiratory ailments to which we humans are susceptible. Despite being the first to come to many minds when asked if they're prepared for winter illnesses, we encourage you to broaden your view both of what elder does, and what herbs can do.Elderberry is famous for inhibiting viruses by interfering with their capacity to replicate. Elderberry constituents have been shown in petri-dish studies to bind the neuraminidase ‘spike' on the virus. It can therefore reduce the virus' capacity to ‘break into' our cells and convert them into virus-making factories.Sounds good! Note, however, that this particular mode of action was identified through in vitro studies. The limitation here is that the required concentration of those constituents may not be attained in our bloodstream when we ingest elderberry syrup. It may not reach the tissues which are under attack by the virus. So while this is an interesting mechanism of action – and one we've taught about often when discussing elderberry – we now consider it as less relevant to the impacts of elderberry on viral illness.So what matters more? The effects of elderberry on inflammatory patterns in the body. An efficient immune response includes inflammatory and anti-inflammatory actions, both at the right times and in the right amounts; elderberry supports this. And here's the good news: so do other berries! Every berry with deep pigmentation – blueberry, blackberry, cranberry, serviceberry, aronia berry, and many more – will work to improve inflammation management within the body. At the same time, they'll enhance vascular integrity and flexibility (particularly important given the capacity of COVID to damage these tissues).So elder isn't the only berry who can help us. And berries aren't the only supportive herbs, either – nor are herbs the end of our options! First of all, elder offers flowers as much as berries, and those are helpful for managing fever.Working with elder in formula with other herbs – like our homemade winter elixir – is an excellent way to enhance its actions. But there are also plenty of good herbs beyond elderberry syrup, including decongestants like sage, expectorants like elecampane, and aromatics like pine. Last but not least: nourishing food, gentle movement, and restorative sleep can each be just as important as any herbal remedies we choose.Listen to the episode for a COUPON CODE to get our Cold & Flu course for only $20!Herbal Remedies for Cold & Flu teaches you everything you need to know to conquer a cold or fight off the flu. We teach you how to work with herbs that are safe and effective for all aspects of the illness.

814 They Attempted Again To Seize Him, But He Escaped Their Clutches, A Guided Christian Meditation on John 10:39-42 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in  and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ.  Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization.  You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrelaxing.  If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes.   Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:   Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate,  deflate. Scripture for Meditation NET 39 Then they attempted again to seize him, but he escaped their clutches. 40 Jesus went back across the Jordan River again to the place where John had been baptizing at an earlier time, and he stayed there. 41 Many came to him and began to say, “John performed no miraculous sign, but everything John said about this man was true!” 42 And many believed in Jesus there. RSV 39 Again they tried to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands. 40 He went away again across the Jordan to the place where John at first baptized, and there he remained. 41 And many came to him; and they said, “John did no sign, but everything that John said about this man was true.” 42 And many believed in him there. Reflection on Scripture: Imagine the ridiculous idea. A group of  religious policemen go try and arrest the creator of everything on the earth they walked. When I read this I am overwhelmed by the irony of it all. Jesus on many occasions escaped capture. He would not go until his time came. Even when he was finally captured he did so knowingly. He even told Judas to betray him  quickly. For us to assume that we can dictate God's plans is such a spiritually immature and damaging mindset.  Yet we are not above this mindset. We like to think we control our world. We like to feel empowered. In some ways this is something God has created within us. Our Godly drive to improve the world around us is good. If we are not careful we can get captured by the idea that we can bend God to our will. Equally unhelpful is that God wants to help us to do whatever we want. God wants our development and perfection and only he knows what it is.  With that said I do believe God wants us to learn to pursue good autonomously. Also I think he wants to empower us to engage with Him regarding our plans. I think this is drastically different than us being a law unto ourself and pursuing our own selfish desires and claiming it is what God wants. I believe that God wants us to reach out to him and plead for discernment regarding our lives. The goal should always be for us to seek God's will not to bend God's will to our own. I want you to ponder   Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials. Summarize what insights you have gained during this meditation and meditate and visualize positive change in your life: This is a listener funded podcast at patreon.com/christianmeditationpodcast Final Question: If you consider the invitation and command to persevere in the faith, what change in your life does that bring to your mind?  FIND ME ON: Download my free app: Recenter with Christ Website - ChristianMeditationPodcast.com Voicemail - (602) 888-3795 Email: jared@christianmeditationpodcast.com Apple Podcasts - Christian Meditation Podcast Facebook.com/christianmeditationpodcast Youtube.com/christianmeditaitonpodcast Twitter - @ChristianMedPod

In his weekly clinical update, Dr. Griffin with Vincent Racaniello are distressed by the continuing government shutdown, first locally acquired chikungunya virus infection, President Trump's suggestion for removing aluminum from vaccines, H5N1 isolation from backyard birds and turkey farms, and the suggestion of establishing an alternative to the CDC's MMWR and asymptomatic measles infections before Dr. Griffin deep dives into recent statistics on the measles epidemic, RSV, influenza and SARS-CoV-2 infections, the Wasterwater Scan dashboard, Johns Hopkins measles tracker, the quarantining in the US due to measles, access to anti-influenza antiviral, where to find PEMGARDA, how to access and pay for Paxlovid, can you be retreated with Paxlovid, long COVID treatment center, where to go for answers to your long COVID questions, if colchicine is effective for long COVID, and contacting your federal government representative to stop the assault on science and biomedical research.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 10-23-2025: Dr. Dawn opens with a passionate plea about E-bike safety after observing riders ignoring stop signs and wearing inadequate helmets in Santa Cruz. She explains the physics of collisions, noting that force equals mass times acceleration, and a car hitting an E-bike rider at 20 mph delivers impact equivalent to falling from a two-story building. She emphasizes that 97% of bike fatalities in New York involved helmetless riders, and brain injuries result from the brain striking the skull twice during impact - once on the impact side and again on the opposite side during deceleration. She urges drivers to honk at helmetless riders and calls for stricter helmet law enforcement. An emailer asks about hydroxyapatite in toothpaste. Dr. Dawn traces its origins to NASA research in the 1960s by Dr. Bernard Rubin studying crystal growth for preventing bone and tooth mineral loss in astronauts. Japanese company Sangi acquired the patent and created the first hydroxyapatite toothpaste by 1980, receiving official anti-cavity recognition in 1993. Studies show it matches fluoride's cavity prevention effectiveness by filling microscopic cracks where bacteria take root. It also relieves temperature sensitivity by sealing micro-fractures in enamel that expose the dentin layer, making it especially helpful for people who clench their jaws. Researchers from UC Berkeley and the Allen Institute used electrodes and lasers to study how mouse brains process optical illusions like the Kanizsa triangle. They discovered specialized IC encoder neurons in the visual cortex that fill in missing information, creating complete shapes from partial cues. When these pattern-completing circuits activate inappropriately, they may trigger hallucinations in conditions like schizophrenia. Dr. Dawn explains that illusions occur when the brain perceives something different from actual visual input, while hallucinations create perceptions with no external stimulus. She discusses frontotemporal dementia where visual hallucinations result from protein deposits in the occipital cortex, and notes that a 2021 British Journal of Psychiatry study found hallucination rates varying from 7% in young people to 3% in those over 70. An emailer describes unbearable chronic lumbar pain with degenerative disc disease shown on MRI. Dr. Dawn emphasizes that MRI findings don't necessarily correlate with pain levels, citing shopping mall studies showing equal degenerative changes in people with and without back pain. She stresses checking for sciatica symptoms including leg pain below the knee, sensory differences between sides, calf size asymmetry, and ability to walk on tiptoes and heels. Without these red flags, the degenerative disease likely isn't causing the pain. She warns against unnecessary surgery citing frequent "failed back" syndrome when surgery for a disk image doesn't "fix" the pain. She recommends water jogging with a ski vest, McKenzie exercises, abdominal strengthening, ergonomics, removing wallets from back pockets, and alternating heat and ice therapy. She discusses mindfulness meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy for pain management. A caller references Daniel Levitin's book "Your Brain on Music," discussing research using functional MRIs showing distinct brain activation patterns in musicians versus non-musicians due to integrated auditory, visual, and kinesthetic training. Dr. Dawn describes how infant brains develop from three to six layers with increasingly complex synaptic connections resembling circuit boards. She highlights a blindfold study where college students' visual cortices began responding to sound within two weeks as the auditory cortex expanded. She shares her husband's remarkable recovery demonstrating adult brain plasticity through intensive rehabilitation. Learning new musical instruments helps dementia patients by activating multiple brain regions simultaneously and improving standard cognitive test performance. A caller describes an eight-day chest cold with thick white phlegm. Dr. Dawn recommends guaifenesin as a mucus-thinning expectorant to prevent bacterial growth in respiratory secretions that serve as "bacteria chow." She emphasizes the importance of current flu, COVID, and RSV vaccinations. Secondary bacterial infections develop when bacteria colonize viral-induced mucus in the lungs and invade tissues. She advises aggressive hydration and chicken soup, which research shows helps clear mucus. Another caller provides additional information about Daniel Levitin as a musicologist, neurologist, and musician who runs the Music Perception, Cognition and Expertise laboratory at McGill University.

NBC News medical contributor Dr. Akshay Syal breaks down everything to know about the flu, COVID, and RSV. Also, the story of a beauty mogul and breast cancer survivor who built a timeless brand empowering women of all ages and stages. Plus, Laura Benanti stops by to discuss joining the cast of season four of ‘Mayor of Kingstown.' And, a roundup of new and classic Halloween movies — and the must-visit destinations behind them.
