For years, she depended on heavy medications — but God had another plan.In this conversation, she shares how the Lord spoke clearly to her: "Come off the meds." After obeying, she's been completely free from medication for over 3 years — no more torment of seizures, no fear, and full of fire for Jesus.You don't want to miss this testimony of freedom, healing, and the power of deliverance from pharmakia and demonic oppression.#podcast #supernatural #demons 

Epilepsy is a neurological condition that causes seizures, but throughout history, it was thought to be caused by demonic possession, angry gods and evil spirits. In this episode we discuss what Epilepsy is, and its medical and social history.

Seizures, sleepless nights, and mysterious white patches on his skin marked the beginning of Daniel's journey with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). Diagnosed at age 6, Daniel faced a childhood filled with MRIs, EEGs, and specialist visits, often requiring cross-country travel for coordinated care. In this moving episode of On Rare, David Rintell, Head of Patient Advocacy at BridgeBio, and Mandy Rohrig, Senior Director of Patient Advocacy at BridgeBio Gene Therapy, speak with Daniel, a 31-year-old living in Seattle, about growing up with TSC, the emotional toll of visible symptoms, and the stigma he faced from peers. He reflects on the cognitive and mood impacts of TSC, including OCD and outbursts, and how he often kept to himself to feel more accepted. Today, Daniel is an active advocate in the TSC community, emphasizing the importance of connection, representation, and finding support among those with shared experiences. As he puts it, “You have to find your people.” Che-Wei Chang, Principal Scientist at BridgeBio, presents a medical overview of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC), a rare genetic disorder marked by seizures and benign tumors throughout the body. TSC results from a spontaneous mutation in a single copy of the TSC1 or TSC2 gene, which normally inhibit mTOR, an enzyme that regulates cell growth. Loss of this inhibition leads to mTOR hyperactivation, leading to abnormal cell proliferation and tumors in the brain, kidneys, skin, and other organs. Diagnosis typically involves identifying tubers in the brain along with tumors in other organs and is confirmed through genetic testing. Treatments include mTOR inhibitors, which are effective against many TSC-related tumors, and anti-seizure medications, although drug resistance is common.

In this deeply personal episode of Money on My Mind, I walk you through the emotional and financial rollercoaster that followed what seemed like the perfect move for our family. We left everything behind to relocate for our daughter's specialized medical care—only to discover our dream home was poisoning her. A hidden mold and mycotoxin issue triggered severe health setbacks and cost us nearly $300,000 in recovery expenses.   From dealing with a rare epilepsy diagnosis to losing almost all our possessions and scrambling to relocate again, this episode is a raw, transparent look at how fast life can shift. More importantly, I talk about the mindset and financial preparation that allowed us to move quickly and decisively—and how this experience completely redefined my understanding of wealth.   Timeline Summary   [0:00] - Why our dream home nearly destroyed our health and finances [1:10] - Our daughter's diagnosis with Dravet syndrome [1:54] - Relocating to Texas for expert care and a miraculous 8-month stretch [2:50] - Seizures return, triggering deeper investigation [4:07] - Blood and urine tests reveal shocking mold exposure [5:56] - Emergency travel to Iowa for treatment amid chaos [7:19] - Realizing we had to abandon our home and everything in it [8:52] - Financial pressure mounts as we scramble to protect our daughter [10:00] - How years of financial planning helped us weather the storm [14:04] - Losing 99% of our belongings due to contamination [15:12] - The breakdown of the $300K cost: housing, health, and recovery [16:46] - What money can't fix—and what really matters [18:46] - How this crisis reshaped my perspective on wealth [20:25] - Preventative measures we've taken to safeguard our new home [21:37] - What are you putting off that's costing you peace of mind?   Key Takeaways   Prepare financially for the unexpected. You never know when a crisis will hit. Building financial flexibility gave us the ability to make life-saving decisions without hesitation. Health is the real wealth. No amount of money is worth more than your family's well-being. Prioritize health investments now before you're forced to later. Don't wait for crisis to force change. If something is causing you low-grade stress or health concerns today, deal with it now—because the cost of waiting can be far greater.     Links & Resources   Infinity Wellness Clinic (Josh, Iowa location) Dravet Syndrome Foundation: dravetfoundation.org Home air quality resources: AirDoctor, dehumidifiers, air scrubbers   If this episode made you think twice about how you define wealth, I'd love for you to rate, follow, and review the show.

Synthetic drugs including artificial substances that mimic cannabis, heroin and stimulants pose an emerging threat to Europe. That is the warning coming from the EU drug agency, which has documented “unprecedented imports and seizures” of synthetic cathinones. These are chemically similar to cathinone, a stimulant. The “rising availability” of fake medicines containing highly potent nitazenes - a synthetic opioid that led to overdose outbreaks in Dublin and Cork at the end of 2023 and in several Irish prisons last year – are also being highlighted by the EU Drug Agency in its European Union Drug Report 2025. The agency is also pointing to a doubling in the strength of cannabis resin over the last decade, the risks posed by high-potency cannabis extracts and edibles, and the rapid spread of semi-synthetic cannabinoids. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by TD, Donna McGettigan and Addiction Counsellor, Michael Guerin.

On this episode of Talk About It, we break out the Gold Jacket to chat with Alan Faneca, retired NFL offensive lineman and NFL Hall of Fame Inductee! Alan and Greg have become friends through advocacy for epilepsy awareness over the years, because Alan was diagnosed with epilepsy when he was a teenager and played at the highest levels of football with the condition. He also has a daughter with a rare form of epilepsy, so this cause is really close to his heart. Ironically, Nick also has a connection to Alan through his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers and hosting events together, so this is really a friend reunion show! They discuss his diagnosis, how his family helps him deal with the condition, going through the process again with his daughter, and - of course - his induction into the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, OH. This is an episode that you are seriously not going to want to miss! The Talk About It podcast is excited to be sponsored in part by Neurelis. The Talk About It podcast is excited to also be sponsored in part by Seizures Are Signs — dedicated to educating families on the importance of early and specific diagnosis by providing an assessment to help get the conversation started, educational information, stories from families who have found a diagnosis, links to advocacy groups, and more.

In this episode of The Jerich Show, Erich Kron and Javvad Malik dive headfirst into the week's most curious, cringeworthy, and critical cybersecurity stories. First up: a global honeypot powered by over 5,300 compromised Cisco devices—courtesy of the ViciousTrap botnet. Then, it's schadenfreude central as the developers of DanaBot malware accidentally infect themselves. Karma, meet keyboard. We'll also unpack Europol's massive takedown of ransomware infrastructure, which led to the seizure of 300 servers and €3.5 million in crypto. Not to be outdone, two ATM heist suspects made their arrest even easier... by taking selfies mid-crime. And finally, the UK's NCSC shows us how to securely retire old tech—because tossing servers in the skip just isn't secure policy. Join Erich and Javvad for sharp takes, security snark, and the cybersecurity fails you'll want to learn from (or at least laugh at).

Last year, both Belgium and the Netherlands, home to the key ports of Antwerp-Bruges and Rotterdam, reported a dramatic decline in the volume of cocaine seized. As the traditional gateways into Europe for legal as well as illegal cargo, this is surely cause for celebration, or at the very least a pat on the back. The only problem? Seizures in Portugal, Italy, Greece and other southern European countries increased. Which begs the question, how on earth do you stop smuggling? Lloyd's List reporter Joshua Minchin again speaks to four experts at the very frontline in the fight against smuggling to understand how public-private cooperation can identify high-risk containers and push back against what can seem like an incessant tide. Plus, UNODC's Bob van den Berghe explains how work in source countries can prevent illegal cargo ever getting on board a commercial vessel and strengthen relationships between law enforcement agencies at opposite sides of an ocean. Joining Joshua on the podcast are: • Joe Kramek, chief executive, World Shipping Council • Bob Van den Berghe, deputy head PCCP, UN Office on Drugs and Crime • Niels Vanlaer, harbour master at the port of Antwerp-Bruges • Robert Campbell, programme director, United for Wildlife

What happens when your brain betrays you with seizures that arrive without warning and leave you depressed for days? Meet Landis, a writer and podcaster who developed epilepsy after brain tumor surgery at age 32. In this illuminating conversation, she breaks down the reality of living with seizures that arrive without warning, including the four-day depression cycle that follows each episode. From creating a post-seizure self-care system complete with personal reminders, to experiencing fascinating "auras" where her brain conjures fictional characters like "Mrs. Bit Binder," Landis shares it all with remarkable honesty and humor. She also discusses how epilepsy affected her dating life (including having a seizure during some hanky panky sexy times!), the service dog who detects her seizures before they happen, and how this condition has simultaneously limited her independence while deepening her appreciation for life's small moments. A powerful reminder of resilience in the face of chronic illness.You can watch this entire episode over on YouTube!Check out Landis' podcast "What The Ef"Follow Sickboy on Instagram, TikTok and Discord.

In V.E. Shwab's bestselling novel, A Conjuring of Light, she wrote, "Kings need not raise their voices to be heard." But on this episode of Talk About It, Greg talks to a King who is being heard not by raising his voice, but by writing a book of his own! That book is called Be There When I Return, and it is out NOW everywhere books are sold. Michael King seemed to have everything going his way as a young bartender in 1980's Los Angeles until his friends began to notice a bizarre quirk in his behavior, but he is not aware of it happening. After the closest people in his life convince him to see a doctor, he is hit with the reality of an epilepsy diagnosis and drags through years of not being able to control his seizures. He ends up becoming a candidate for an experimental surgery, but his family doesn't know if he will remember them when he wakes up.
