Shag Harbour UFO “Crash,” 1967

Think Anomalous

In 1967, witnesses in Nova Scotia, Canada, saw something appear to crash into the waters off of Shag Harbour, then watched it travel out to sea. The case is notable for involving a UFO that appeared to travel underwater, and for prompting a secretive investigation - and subsequent coverup - from the US and Canadian militaries.

I'm back with another interview with Dr. Bob Dickson on the topic of water fluoridation. What is it with our "esteemed" scientists and their insistence that poisons introduced through various means can protect us and make us healthy? How is it that so many have fallen for this ludicrous claim?To think that we are dealing with having fluoride added to the Calgary municipal water supply on the heels of the US ruling that such fluoride is a neurotoxin is beyond comprehension and infuriating for those who are actually informed.Dr. Bob goes into his extensive involvement in the movement against fluoridation, detailing his initial discovery of the potential harms and his efforts to remove it from Calgary's water.He covers the toxicity of hexafluorosilicic acid - check out the MSDS here https://www.fishersci.com/store/msds?partNumber=AC410715000&productDescription=FLUOSILICIC+ACID+%2825%25+IN+500GR&vendorId=VN00032119&countryCode=US&language=en - the legal and ethical implications of mass medication, and the recent scientific studies showing the minimal benefits and significant risks, including neurotoxicity. They also discuss the political and financial forces driving fluoridation despite these risks.Dr. Dickson encourages listeners to take action by signing petitions and contacting local representatives to halt the fluoridation process.01:10 The Fluoride Issue in Calgary01:28 Dr. Bob Dickson's Advocacy Journey04:07 The History of Fluoridation in Calgary09:20 Scientific Studies and Findings on Fluoride – not a pretty picture16:22 The Fight Against Fluoridation22:14 Recent Developments and Legal Battles30:17 Economic and Environmental Implications34:08 Current Status and Future Actions38:20 Election and Council's Stance on Fluoridation38:55 Health Risks and Environmental Impact39:34 Detoxifying and Purifying Water40:02 Truth About Fluoride and Filtration Systems41:17 Fighting City Council and Legal Battles43:51 Personal Attacks and Advocacy46:31 Fluoridation's Impact on Vulnerable Populations59:21 Global and Local Fluoridation Statistics – we are a minority here01:05:05 Call to Action and Final ThoughtsPlease share this interview, everyone needs to be properly informed on this topic... whether you are living already with fluoridated tap water or if you may face this issue in the future.

The Shroud of Turin The Shroud of Turin is a linen cloth with an image of a crucified man, believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus of Nazareth. The cloth, currently housed in the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Turin, Italy, has been a subject of intense debate and scientific study for centuries.    Here's a more detailed look: What it is: A linen cloth measuring approximately 14 feet long and 3 feet 7 inches wide.    It bears a faint, brownish image of a man who appears to have been tortured and crucified.    The image is believed to be the result of a process that is still not fully understood, and is not the product of a painting, drawing, or scorch.    The image is considered to be three-dimensional when evaluated with a VP-8 scanner, according to Catholic Answers.    History and Significance: The shroud first appeared in historical records in the 1350s and has been kept in Turin since 1578.    Many Christians consider it to be a holy relic and a symbol of Jesus's crucifixion and resurrection.    The shroud has been the subject of numerous scientific studies, including radiocarbon dating, which has yielded conflicting results and fueled the debate about its authenticity.    Scientific Studies and Debates:    Radiocarbon Dating: A 1988 radiocarbon dating test indicated that the shroud was likely from the medieval period, not the time of Jesus. However, this result has been disputed, and new dating analysis suggests that the shroud may actually date back to the time of Jesus.    Bloodstains: Reddish-brown stains on the cloth are believed to be blood, and tests have shown that they contain human DNA.    Image Formation: The process by which the image was created is still not fully understood, but it is generally agreed that it is not the result of a painting or drawing.    Ongoing Research: Scientists continue to study the shroud, looking for new evidence to help understand its origins and the nature of the image.    Controversy: Authenticity: The shroud's authenticity remains a major point of debate, with many believing it to be a medieval forgery.    Scientific Evidence: While some scientific evidence supports the idea that the shroud is genuine, other evidence suggests it is a forgery.    Theological Significance: For many Christians, the shroud holds immense theological significance, and its authenticity is a matter of faith.

"Rhodiola is like a built-in stress shield for the brain. It helps calm that chaos, sharpen focus, and smooth out emotional roller coasters." "In just one week, people taking Rhodiola felt less stressed, more focused, and mentally sharper." "Rhodiola was compared to the antidepressant sertraline, also known as Zoloft. While sertraline had stronger effects, Rhodiola had fewer side effects and was better tolerated." "Research shows Rhodiola may enhance memory and learning by helping neurons in the brain communicate better." "OPCs are antioxidants found in blueberries, grapes, and dark chocolate, and they help protect the brain while strengthening the blood-brain barrier." "One study found that drinking blueberry juice, which is rich in OPC flavanols, for 12 weeks improved working memory, blood flow to the brain, and cognitive performance in adults." "Ginkgo and ginseng act like stimulants without the side effects, and studies show they may help improve attention and dopamine levels in kids with ADHD." "Herbs are powerful, even though they're natural. They can interact with medications, so always consult a professional." "There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Functional lab testing can help determine which nutrients and herbs your child actually needs." Dana Kay Resources:

The discussion focuses on the 2024 election results, with Perry providing an analysis of the unexpected outcomes and voter behavior. He emphasizes that economic concerns, rather than ideological shifts, drove many voters' decisions. Perry notes that while some believe rhetoric like Trump's may just be for show, it can have significant societal impacts, including normalizing divisive language and authoritarian tendencies.They explore how religious identity has shifted in America, highlighting that evangelical support for Trump remained steady, while shifts were seen among Catholic and other religious voters. Perry also touches on how Christian nationalism and group identity influence political stances and willingness to support authoritarian measures.The episode concludes with Perry discussing his new book, Religion for Realists, which argues that understanding religion through a scientific lens can illuminate how beliefs, identity, and societal norms interact.

A scientific team comprising a neuroscientist, forensic psychiatrist, attorney, and a science-trained medium embarked on a groundbreaking journey. They interviewed 19 mediums, each with unique abilities, to delve into the urgent questions about humanity's spiritual development. These questions, formulated by the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies (BICS), challenged the spiritual world to assess humanity's spiritual progress since the time of Allan Kardec (1857). The questions explore whether humans have progressed spiritually in the past 167-plus years, and if not, who is to blame? Has the spirit world failed humanity, or have humans failed, either by themselves, sabotage, or impediments by corrupted spirits and earthbound entities? One underlying concern is whether humanity's technology has outstripped its spiritual development, placing itself at risk of extinction.The mediums contacted the highest spiritual entities, including The I AM, St. James, and Allan Kardec, to address these questions.The scientists took a revolutionary approach to interviewing mediums by encoding the questions as numbers and then presenting the numbers to the mediums as questions.

When the media talks about the evangelical vote today, what or to whom are they referring? Who are the people who self-identify in this way?

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop welcomes Jonathan Dickinson, a specialist in Ibogaine treatment and co-founder/CEO of Ambio Life Sciences and Teregnosis. They discuss the history and therapeutic uses of Iboga and Ibogaine, focusing on its effects in treating heroin addiction, traumatic brain injury, and chronic pain. Jonathan also shares insights into the cultural origins of Iboga, its use in traditional Bwiti ceremonies, and how modern approaches, particularly his work with veterans, expand its applications. More information about Jonathan's work can be found at Ambio Life.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:21 Understanding Ibogaine and Its Uses02:00 Ibogaine's Impact on Veterans and Brain Injuries03:57 Psycho-Spiritual and Medical Benefits of Ibogaine07:12 Scientific Studies and Misconceptions18:50 Legalization and Research Challenges25:05 Ibogaine Sourcing and Sustainability31:43 Ibogaine Smuggling and Export Practices32:10 Pharmaceutical Grade Iboga Extract33:36 Challenges of Growing Iboga33:53 Traditional Growth Methods and Cultural Attitudes37:04 Global Cultivation Efforts38:05 Access and Benefit Sharing Agreements38:54 Traditional Knowledge and Bwiti Culture39:40 Historical Context of Iboga Use40:44 Bantu and Pygmy Cultural Exchange42:31 Bwiti Rituals and Practices46:23 Learning from Traditional Practices48:19 Western and Traditional Knowledge Integration55:58 Future of Iboga and Ibogaine59:22 Connecting with AmbioKey InsightsIboga and Ibogaine as Addiction Treatments: Ibogaine is primarily known for its effectiveness in treating heroin addiction. It interrupts the addiction cycle through a powerful psychoactive experience lasting 12-24 hours, which helps individuals detox from drugs like heroin and opioids. After the session, many report being free of withdrawal symptoms and cravings for months, providing a unique pathway out of addiction.Use in Treating Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Jonathan has worked extensively with veterans, especially Navy SEALs, using Ibogaine to address TBIs. These injuries, often from combat-related concussive forces, lead to symptoms that mirror PTSD. Ibogaine appears to regenerate brain function, as seen in a study conducted with Stanford University, where veterans exhibited significant brain activity improvement following treatment.Cultural Roots in Bwiti and African Traditions: Iboga has deep cultural significance in Gabon, particularly in Bwiti spiritual practices, which have been influenced by both indigenous Pygmy traditions and Bantu peoples. Bwiti uses Iboga in ceremonies for psycho-spiritual exploration, healing, and connection to ancestors, a tradition that has persisted for centuries and possibly millennia.Misunderstandings About Noribogaine: Many believe that noribogaine, a metabolite of Ibogaine, remains in the body for up to eight months, contributing to long-lasting effects. However, Jonathan clarifies that noribogaine remains in the system for only a few days or a week. The extended feeling of ease or afterglow people experience may be due to neurotrophic factors like GDNF, which stimulate brain healing and regeneration over time.Emerging Scientific Understanding of Ibogaine: Research into Ibogaine's mechanisms is still developing. It acts on many receptors in the brain, including the Sigma 2 receptor, which has been linked to pain relief and neuroprotective effects. There's also growing interest in its potential role in intracellular processes and energy metabolism, where it appears to improve cellular efficiency, possibly explaining its long-term regenerative effects on brain function.Decentralized Knowledge and Treatment Communities: Unlike tightly regulated pharmaceutical models, Ibogaine treatment has grown in a decentralized, community-driven way, with providers sharing their experiences and knowledge. This echoes the traditions of Bwiti and emphasizes the importance of communal support around Ibogaine therapy, where the intensity of the experience requires a supportive environment and a collective sharing of insights.Sustainability and Ethical Sourcing of Iboga: Jonathan is actively involved in ensuring the sustainable and ethical sourcing of Iboga through his company, Teregnosis. Working with Gabonese communities, Teregnosis follows the Nagoya Protocol to ensure that the benefits of Iboga's growing global interest are shared with the traditional communities that have long relied on this plant, protecting both the ecosystem and cultural heritage.
