Medicine is evolving faster than ever, but so are the challenges of misinformation and fragmented healthcare communication. In this episode, I sit down with Jonathan Marx, a luminary in the realm of healthcare marketing and media, to discuss how evidence-based medicine can reclaim its central role in a system too often driven by trends and profit. Drawing from his experience in medical communications and media, Marx shares his mission to bridge the gap between science and public understanding through credible, accessible education. We dive into the growing influence of AI in organizing medical data, the balance between conventional and alternative medicine, and why funding gaps still hinder progress on unpatented yet promising treatments. This conversation is a call to elevate medical literacy, strengthen trust in data-driven care, and empower both practitioners and patients with the knowledge needed to make informed health decisions. Key Takeaways: Evidence-based medicine is critical in distinguishing fact from misinformation within healthcare, utilizing clinical trials and AI for reliable results. Alternative healthcare, often misconstrued, holds historical significance and merits further supportive research and acknowledgment alongside conventional medicine. Successful healthcare communication demands repetition across multiple media, catering to the varied learning styles and frequencies needed for information retention. Integrative healthcare, encompassing a range of practices from traditional to alternative medicine, provides a holistic approach to patient care. Relationships and trust with healthcare providers are paramount, urging patients to evaluate their choices based on evidence-backed practices and diverse professional insights. More About Jonathan Marx: Jonathan Marx, MBA, is an entrepreneur in health and medical education since 2001, currently serving as Founder and President of GoToHealth Media, LLC. He hosts a multimedia interview show with health expert guests called "GoToHealth", which is enjoying 14,000 downloads per day and has surpassed 3 million downloads. Mr. Marx also: • Trained US Centers for Disease Control staff in effective medical communications webinars for 10 years. • Collaborated for 10 years with ADHD experts in building a website and social media to provide Continuing Medical Education for primary care professionals and public education on ADHD. Stats: 400,000 web visits, 956,000 YouTube views, 33,000 hours of training to professionals. • Worked with 18 European University hospitals under a five-year EC grant to study the gut-brain connection, recognized for Best Dissemination among grants. • Served as Webinar Director for eMedEvents, a leading online CME company, spearheading its entrance into webinars during Covid.

War, and the threat of war, spurs governments to invest in secret military technologies and weapons. Imperial Japan, ahead of the Second World War, was no exception. After the First World War, Japan set up the Noborito Research Institute: a division of scientists and technicians to invest in overt and clandestine warfare. Stephen Mercado dives into this history in his new book Japanese Spy Gear and Special Weapons: How Noborito's Scientists and Technicians Served in the Second World War and the Cold War (Pen & Sword Books: 2025). At Noborito, Japanese scientists researched fanciful weapons, like balloon bombs and death rays; covert techniques like poisons and counterfeiting—and more insidious activities, like biological weapons. Stephen Mercado, the author of The Shadow Warriors of Nakano: A History of the Imperial Japanese Army's Elite Intelligence School, has also written a dozen articles and several dozen book reviews on Asian and open-source intelligence. His writing has appeared in the journals Intelligence and National Security, International Journal of Intelligence and Counter Intelligence, Studies in Intelligence and on the website 38 North of the Henry L. Stimson Center. His translations include numerous declassified Chinese and Japanese diplomatic documents published as part of the Woodrow Wilson Center's Cold War International History Project. Retired from the CIA Open Source Enterprise, he has twice won a CIA Studies in Intelligence award for his writings. He is also a frequent contributor to the Asian Review of Books.

2025-10-23 | Silicon Wafers 039 | Elon Musk's SEWER of Destruction and Despair. I didn't ask to see this, and do not follow these people, so why is X showing it to me? Between the choir of conformity, and the cacophony of division.1) The propagandists' orchestration of manufactured narratives across multiple voices, channels and tones of voice to create the illusion of plurality.2) Democratic media, fragmenting under an assault of disingenuous voices, grifters and hypers, lack of context and balance, normalization, stoking of hate and distrust. In the overwhelming torrent of information, truth, and the insight and purpose that comes from truth, appears as a feeble and flickering flame, ill-equipped to survive the barrage of irrelevant and extraneous detail, the oxygen poor medium of social media, amidst a tidal wave of falsity and ignorance. As the quantity of information and misinformation grows exponentially, we are becoming less, not more, adept at finding the signal within the noise. And two essential elements are becoming lost – strategy and empathy. An exponential glut of information is leading to fatigue and nihilism. We are producing a mass of dead wood in this information factory, that is ideal mulch for the parasitic fungus of propaganda to feed off. ----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv. The film production began in 2018, and much has changed since then. It is now 2025, and this story is far from over.https://www.youtube.com/@UCz6UbVKfqutH-N7WXnC5Ykg https://www.kyivofmine.com/#theprojectKyiv of Mine is fast paced, beautifully filmed, humorous, fun, insightful, heartbreaking, moving, hopeful. The very antithesis in fact of a doom-laden and worthy wartime documentary. This is a work that is extraordinarily uplifting. My friend Operator Starsky says the film is “Made with so much love. The film series will make you laugh and cry.” ----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.
