Harvey Cushing: A Biography By John F. Fulton Read by Edison McDaniels, MD Coming soon to Audible! The 1946 biography of Harvey Cushing by John Fulton on audiobook for the first time ever! “The Power of One, the Impact of Many.” For neurosurgery, there is no individual who encapsulates the power of one better than Harvey Cushing. Cushing (1869-1939) is the founding father of modern neurosurgery and was remarkably productive even by today's standards. It is estimated that in addition to everything else he accomplished, he wrote the equivalent of 1,000 words a day for the entirety of his 70 years on this earth. He also operated on over 2,000 brain tumors (less than 5 attempts had been made to operate on any brain tumor before him, only one successfully). This was at a time without antibiotics, specialized imaging, blood transfusions, intensive care units, or anything more than primitive early anesthetic techniques. He quite literally invented modern brain surgery. HARVEY CUSHING, A BIOGRAPHY, by John Fulton.  • This is the definitive biography of Harvey Cushing, published in 1946. • First time ever on audio! • This is not an AI production. The voice is mine, and all technical aspects of the production are my own work. I am a team of 1. This is a highly polished presentation. • The audiobook is 45 hours in length..  • Listeners can go directly to individual chapters or any of the excerpts or bonus materials. The Story of a Great Medical Pioneer Written in 1946 by the eminent scholar and physiologist John F. Fulton, a man who knew and worked alongside Cushing, this is the definitive biography of one of the most significant figures in the history of medicine and surgery. Cushing's legacy is present in every operating room in the world everyday, for he was much more than the father of modern neurosurgery: among other innovations, he was the first to follow blood pressure during surgery and the first to develop a practical means of doing so. He was a pioneer in electrocautery, otherwise known as the electric knife, which is used in most operations today to control bleeding. He worked out the relationship between gigantism and pituitary tumors. These are just a few of the numerous innovations and discoveries he is credited with. He counted among his friends and patients many of the foremost physicians, statesmen, scientists, and scholars of his time. One of his daughter's married FDR's son. Included among the correspondence here are notes and letters with Sir William Osler (the father of modern internal medicine), Walter Reed (the man who conquered Yellow Fever), William H. Taft, The Mayo Brothers (founders of The Mayo Clinic), William Halsted (the father of modern surgery), and many, many more. This work will be of great interest to neurosurgeons, medical students, nurses, neurosurgical physician associates, medical product reps, and anyone with any interest in the history of medicine. Cushing knew everybody who was anybody in medicine during the first third of the 20th century and it's all described here in remarkable prose. There is much material here on the founding of the Johns Hopkins Medical School as well as the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston. Includes the founding of the the Cushing Brain Tumor Archive at Yale and The Harvey Cushing Society, now known as the AANS. It will be easily accessible and can be listened to in piecemeal fashion, such as to and from work for 10 minutes at a time, or on a long car ride or when traveling by plane for hours. A surprising amount of Cushing's advice remains relevant to today's physicians in general and neurosurgeons in particular. I am a board certified neurosurgeon. I am also an accomplished audiobook narrator. I developed this over the years as a hobby that I could work at at any hour of the day or night amidst the busy schedule of a practicing neurosurgeon. I have a professional recording studio in my home and have recorded over 50,000 minutes of spoken word audio.

And welcome to the Adams archive. My name is Austin Adams, and thank you so much for listening today. On today's episode, we have a couple of deep dives. We're going to have a couple other things sprinkled in there too, but a couple of deep dives that we're going to discuss starting with the. Crazy trend that has happened probably over the last, I don't know, five or six years, but even more so recently, the amount of celebrities, the amount of tick tock influencers that are out there getting their teeth shaved down with essentially nail files into nubs, and then getting fake implants of teeth, porcelain implants into their mouth. Now  there's a specific case that brought this up more recently, and it came from TikTok. So we'll discuss that. But what we're really going to talk about there is the idea behind why this is truly a problem, right? There's, there's this fundamental idea behind traditional Chinese medicine, which talks about the meridian.  And so that's what we're going to discuss first. After we talk about that and the horrific things people are putting their bodies through, and we'll actually use a case study here of the, with this woman from tick tock that caused this  topic to be discussed because I saw it recently pop up in one of my feeds. And it's just unbelievable. The amount of people that are doing this without even understanding what the potential side effects could be. So we will talk about that. After we talk about that, we are going to talk about a father in, I believe this was in Mexico, who went on stage at a,  uh, comedian's show and smacked him several times.  And you would go, that's crazy. You should be able to take a joke, right? But there's a lot more to the story. And I think He might be justified in this. So we'll talk about that. Then we will jump into a remote Amazon tribe left hooked on pornography after finally connecting to the internet. Uh, so this tribe essentially got. The internet and the very first thing they did was get absolutely unbelievably, horrifically addicted to pornography. So we will talk about that. Then we will move closer and closer into our real deep dive of the day. But before we jump into that for that last deep dive, we will discuss. A royal tomb of an African king that is actually completely made of human blood? After scientists had recently confirmed.  And then the last thing that we're going to discuss today is the curious case of Gabriela Rico Jimenez, who was a Mexican supermodel who essentially disappeared off the face of the earth.  Going outside of this hotel back in August of 2009,  and she had made these crazy claims. Something about celebrity, elites, billionaires, cannibalism,  and a lot more. She even calls out a few names, one that you'll be familiar with, and if you're not familiar with it, I'll tell you who they are, and why it's important, and who they're tied to.  Spoiler alert! It's the Clintons.  And so we'll talk about that. We'll do a deep dive into that situation. We'll watch a couple clips and we will go from.  So all of that and more, but first I need you to hit that subscribe button. I know it's been a few days, few weeks, even two, three weeks since my last podcast episode. And I apologize, but I appreciate that you're here. I love you. Thank you so much for listening in. I know life comes up for a lot of people on a lot of things and that's what's happened here recently. Anyways, so.  Uh, life comes up, life gets crazy. I have, uh, career, children outside of this, but the goal has always been to consistently put out great content for you guys, and that's what I hope you think about this episode right here. So again, thank you for being here. I appreciate you. Subscribe. Leave a five star review. And if you haven't heard I have a new side project among those other things that I have, including a career and a family and a wife and a hobbies like jujitsu represent. And, uh, all of the different shit that I do, I decided that I was going to start a completely separate business, which is Ronin. And if you haven't listened to the last few episodes, maybe you don't know Ronin is a Faraday Goods company and what Faraday Goods do is they protect you from the harmful effects of modern technology, everything from EMF radiation poisoning that is being emitted constantly from every piece of technology around you all of the time, including the cell phone that you're listening on this to including the car that you're in right now, if you didn't know that most cars today emit EMFs while you're sitting there  driving your vehicle.  And they have unbelievably terrible side effects to your health. And so a few things you can do is you can get Faraday goods and essentially eliminate the effects of those products by having specially lined fabric within things like hats, beanies, um, even like, uh, Faraday backpacks can. Put your laptop, your cell phone inside of it. It will eliminate your digital footprint. It will stop those EMFs from being emitted, and it will even stop the corporations and governments from being able to track you. It eliminates completely all inbound and outbound signals. So go check it out. Ronan basics. com. We are finalizing all of our orders for everything right now. The hats, just like the one that's on my head, right? Now, uh, the first order will be in, in just a couple of weeks. And so I'll be making those first shipments from all of the pre sales from the orders. Uh, backpacks will be following a few weeks after that phone, uh, phone sleeves. After that, I currently have the wallets up there, everything Ronan basics. com. Go check it out. You'll love it. Love it. And that's what I got. Let's go ahead and jump into it.  The  Adams archive.  That's a jam. Every time I hear that, that's a jam. All right, let's go ahead and jump into it. The very first thing that we're going to discuss today is going to be the disgusting trend of influencers and celebrities out there getting their teeth shaved down with nail files so they can look like Gollum from Lord of the Rings, only to have  porcelain implants. The teeth implants implanted into their face after they get their teeth shaved down to little disgusting nubs  all in the name of aesthetics,  right? You know, there's like 80 year olds, 85 year olds, 90 year olds out there who need veneers and that makes perfect sense to me, right? If you don't have teeth, you need to eat. You don't want dentures. You don't want to deal with that. That's okay. Get veneers.  But if you're young and you're healthy,  the hell are you doing? Why in the world would you take something that God gave you, beautiful teeth in your mouth, maybe not so beautiful, but much better than shaving down your teeth  with a file, and then having some dude in Miami shove porcelain into your mouth  like it's not an actual living part of your body.  Your teeth are so much more important to your body than modern medicine, western medicine wants you to believe. And that's what we're going to talk about today. So the very first article that we're going to take a look at  is going to come from Indy 100. One of my favorite new news articles that sources a ton of different articles from all over the world for you. And, uh, Pretty good stuff. So there's a video coming out of the New York Post and this TikTok video that this woman had posted, but let me just show you what we're talking about here. Okay, when we talk about them shaving down your teeth,  this is what we're talking about. Okay,  here we go.  If you're looking at my screen right now,  you will see a woman.  That looks just like Gollum from Lord of the Rings. I have to get this up here for you. There it is. Oh my God. That's terrifying.  How horrific. And to do this to yourself for just aesthetics, like I can get plastic surgery, do your thing, I don't care. It's not my body,  but. Like there was absolutely nothing wrong with this woman's face. Absolutely nothing wrong with her teeth, but she was convinced by society that she had to whittle down her teeth from what they were to turn them into this horrific Frankenstein science experiment, because that's what celebrities do.  So let's go ahead and watch this video. This woman's talking about her veneers and why she decided to do this and all of the terrible things that happened to her sense  here.  Here we go.  I know that I look crazy and it's so embarrassing to come crying on the internet,  but this stuff that I have been dealing with for two years  because of my freaking teeth  is like I don't even know what to do anymore and like the only place I can really go to  is my platforms.  As everybody pretty much knows,  two years ago  I Had, um, dental work done, I smelled Dental Center 32 in Miami and it ruined my life.  Like literally ruined my life  and I'm still dealing with it to this day and  I just left another doctor, another TMJ doctor. This is the third or fourth one that I've gone to  and  I'm just very overwhelmed. Like,  The medical industry, the dental industry in America is like, they literally do not care about what you are going through. Like, everything is about money for them.  And like, I understand like, people have to get paid. But it's like,  the fact that like, I can't,  I can't do anything.  Like, I can't use insurance. I can't do anything. I've already spent 80, 000 pretty much on this whole situation in two years. And I go to another TMJ doctor because I have severe TMJ now because of the veneers that Smile Dental Center did. They, they, they lost my bite. I have severe TMJ. I got my T3 done. It, it didn't fix it.  That was another 30, 000.  It's just like,  I just had an appointment and like, you know, they're telling me like, okay, we could do this, we could do this, and it, you know, it could, it could be a big money pit and, you know, it could be, you know, another 80k and, you know, might not work. Like,  I spent so much money with so many doctors just praying that something works for me.  And nothing works. Nothing ever works.  I don't know what to do anymore. Like, I can't even sue  the freaking dentist. Every, every time I come on here telling my story about what happened, which is a crazy ass story.  I'm like, just sue. Why don't you sue? If I could sue, that would be the first thing I'm, I'm doing. But I can't do that. I can't do that. It's, it's not possible. Like,  can't sue for my sensory issues. My sensory issues are unknown. Every time I go to the doctor.   So let's talk about this real quick. And it's easy to look at this person and say, You're vain. You shouldn't have done that. Your body was perfectly fine. You know, it's easy to laugh at this person and go, You know, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Right?  But let's, let's put our empathetic hat on. Let's pretend this is your wife. Let's pretend this is your daughter. Let's pretend this And I don't know what she looked like before before she got this done. So let's pretend that maybe she had some little bit of messed up teeth. And you're in Miami. And if you ever been to Miami, like literally 10 percent of the people 20 percent of the people that are there, if they have money, they have these fake veneers.  And so  this woman,  With our empathetic cats on your wife, your daughter is convinced that she would be more beautiful, that people would accept her more, that she would have more friends, that she would seem cooler. Like she would look like, you know, one of those supermodels that she watches on Instagram all day in Miami. And like  to have society convince you  that you need to be anything other than what you were  then to go somewhere that  convinces you that you need to pay them 80, 000 and they'll make you better.  Then to have all your, your teeth essentially whittled down to nubs, this porcelain shoved into your mouth, which is too big for your mouth. You've ever seen people that, that get these done. It's way too big for their mouth. A lot of times they don't look natural. They don't look normal. A lot of times. And when you get that done that way,  And it's not the natural way that your teeth were supposed to sit that your body had gotten used to for, I don't know, in this woman's case, 25, 30 years, maybe  your jaw alignment, your, your teeth all  are meant to be the way that they were.  And so  when she's talking about TMJ,  she's talking about the misalignment of her jaw, causing consistent pain.  throughout the day, causing migraines, causing all these things. I've had TMJ in the past and it's, it's a terrible thing to deal with. And it makes your jaw click and you can't open your mouth as wide. It's, it's not fun at all. And to have it caused by somebody who told you they were going to make you better, that you spent your own money on to have them do it. And then as a result, to have this happen is just, I can't imagine. So keep your empathetic head on while you're watching this and, and maybe. Yeah, maybe it's,  you could roast her a little bit, but right. It's still, it's a terrible situation to find yourself in. So let's finish this out.  After they've never heard of it  and you can't prove that they gave you these issues because there's no way to diagnose it specifically. Like it's just a whole thing.  They offered to give me my money back within the first year. And I told them no, so that I could bring awareness because like,  People are just like, you know, out there getting veneers and whatever the case may be, like, my life is literally ruined because I got my teeth redone. Like, I'm not even joking, like, my, I'm constantly in pain. I can't even close my mouth properly after a retainer every single day. 24 7 pretty much to even close my mouth comfortably. No bite adjustments can fix it. Nothing. I've done a hundred bite adjustments. I've gone to 10 different dentists, four different TMJ doctors. I've done integrative medicine. I've done acupuncture. I've done everything you could possible. I've done hypnosis. I've literally done everything you could possibly do to try to fix these issues. I've been called crazy by my primary care doctor at Kaiser. They told me to therapist. Because I'm wondering what I'm going through  At this point like I just don't know what to do. I'm in severe pain I've gotten freaking acid or Botox twice my fucking face is slim the fuck out Like I look crazy as fuck because I'm in pain 24 7 I Guess my only thing is just don't get fucking veneers and  know that like Something like this can ruin your life like literally and Quite frankly, I'm not giving nobody else 80 fucking bands. Like no, I'm not doing it. Like the fact that these people are so like,  just everything is so money driven. And then like, I understand, but it's like, this shit is like really medical for me. Like why does nobody care  about people?   And so that video had 9 million views. Let's see how many it has now.  Not sure  where to see that on the web app.  But it has 100 or 864, 000 likes.  Let's see what the number one comment is. Veneers and LASIK I'll never do because of the horror stories I have heard.  Somebody said, babe, could it be a trigeminal neuralgia? Basically, the veneers hit the specific nerve.  Interesting.  Veneers are so extreme. I don't know why people have to do it. Try braces or composites when the tooth was hurting. I wanted to walk off the little planet. Yeah, so that's the terrible thing about this is she hasn't even begun to see the real effects of this.  Hasn't begun to see the real effects because the only thing she's dealing with right now is TMJ.  And she probably gets headaches or migraines as a result of the TMJ or even that trigeminal neuralgia, which is, can cause, you know, essentially what they call like these terrible, horrific, uh, types of migraines. And so  she's not even beginning to see the effects of this because what we're about to listen to is the fact that your teeth are tied to the nerves in your body and those nerves  have connections. throughout your entire body. And this isn't something that's like mainstream accepted within modern medicine dentistry within the United States of America, but it is in many, many, many other countries. And so that's what we're about to watch this next clip on, which explains how these types of like each individual one of your  teeth has a specific nerve that it's tied to that affects other parts of your body that causes issues within your body as a whole, whether it's, uh, things like, um,  I don't know, talking about high blood pressure, talking about your, your obesity, talking about all of these different health effects. And we'll actually pull up the map here in a minute and look at it, but let's go ahead and watch this video. It talks about the meridian, uh, essentially the meridian lines in your body and the connection to your teeth and all of the terrible things that can happen from doing something like what we just talked about. And this is coming from  the ultimate human podcast.  Here we go.  Doing the most harm out of any medical profession. It's like, here you go, opiates. What is biologic dentistry? Because it absolutely blew my mind. Each tooth is alive. It's a living organ. Any disease in the mouth can correlate to the rest of the body. You're taking a look at the whole body, not just the oral cavity. We can help people live a lot longer. How quickly can we help a patient heal? We're getting them off of meds. That's a passion of mine. If you're having symptoms, question it.  Hey guys, welcome back to the ultimate human podcast. I'm your host, human biologist, Gary.   Wait, what was I doing? And then you seek out the world's best doctors are knowledgeable in this and it's stuff that's been, it's out there. The literature is out there. The science is out there, but it's, do you believe in it? Do you want to take that step and actually go that road? And it's very hard to talk to all the dentists and all the colleagues like, Hey, there's something else out there. You know, we can actually be causing harm. It's like, do no harm is our first, the Hippocratic oath, right? It's do no harm. But it's actually, when you look at it, we're actually doing dentistry is doing the most harm out of any. Medical profession now leading  dead tissue in the body. Yeah I mean, you just got to wrap your arms around that there's actually dead tissue in the body And it doesn't have a blood supply and what a bacteria like they like dark moist oxygen deprived places anaerobic bacteria That's immune system can't get to and I want to talk specifically about a study that that was just Published in, in July of 2023. So this is only about three months old. It was published in the  journal of microorganisms, but it was a longitudinal study that investigated the association between periodontal disease. and neuroinflammatory disorders. And neuroinflammatory disorders are Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, dementia, all kinds of conditions in the body that are related to inflammation that eventually begins to affect nerves. And we don't correlate dental hygiene or, you know, dental pathologies to Parkinson's, to early onset Alzheimer's, or dementia. And even before these conditions exist, we Memory and cognitive decline, um, exhaustion, fatigue, weight gain, water retention. And what I found really fascinating was that out of the 24 studies they examined, 20 of them  showed a positive correlation between periodontal disease and neurodegenerative disorders with the studies focusing on cognitive function. Demonstrating the most robust effect.  Yes.  So these are all the things that are robbing people of their short term recall, their cognitive function, their waking energy, that they may be chalking up to a consequence of aging, that may actually be a consequence of something going on in their jaw from dental work that they've had done that they've left unaddressed. Correct. And one of those bacteria there, the Treponema  Yes, the Treponema denticola. Yeah, that's me. Sorry, it's one of the five bacterias. Let's just keep it simple. Yeah, one of the five bacterias. That's, that's known for beta amyloid. Producing beta amyloid, which we know is for Alzheimer's. Right. So when it all starts here, if we can actually control it, and it sometimes goes more in depth than doing a, Regular cleaning, sometimes we have to use lasers, sometimes we use ozone gas, sometimes we'll put some medication in the pockets, what we call the periodontal pockets. Right. But if we can cure that, doesn't mean like every tooth needs to come out, right, but if we can hold on to the teeth and we have ways much better than ever before, much better than when I graduated dental school. When you say  keep, to keep your  teeth. Keep the teeth, yeah, we graduated, I graduated in 2009. Keep  your  teeth. How  simple  is that? Keep your teeth, right? And so we'll look at this, this, uh, article. We'll pull it up here. This is  Dr. Rose. com R O Z E and talks about the Chinese Meridian Theory. And so let's talk about that. I was hoping to find it within that video, but I think that was a good point enough is that the health of your body, your cognitive decline, your obesity. High blood pressure, arthritis, all of these things could very well be tied to the dental work that you're getting done by modern dentistry.  Because when you're pulling teeth, or even worse, whittling them down to nothing, only to be replacing them with exterior material that isn't meant to be implanted in your body,  something's going to go wrong.  And so here's a clip about Meridian.  Dentistry or meridian belief system or theory, and let's watch that. Each  tooth is a key. The key is press, and it causes a motion to strike a note, which creates a vibration and a sound. Each key produces a different sound, just like the relationship between the keys and the notes. Our tifa connected by nerves to our brain. These nerves and nerve impulses send messages to specific parts of the body. What does this all mean to you? Well, if you have a bad tooth, the energy flows through the meridian belonging to that tooth, and this flow can affect the health of all the organs on that meridian. For example, tooth number 14, the first molar, is on the same meridian with the kidneys, liver, spleen, stomach and breast. So if this tooth has a problem, it may affect the energy flow through the meridian, and the health of those organs may be affected as well. Your mouth is connected to specific organs in the body. This is something that practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine have known for thousands of years.  The human body is really quite amazing when we listen to its messages.  Sir William Osler, a founding father of modern medicine, said the mouth is the mirror to the body. A vital relationship exists between your teeth and your organs.  Use our bio dental chart available from dr rose. com to see the relationship of your teeth and the rest of your body.  Right, so that's the idea. And when you think about that, and you go, Oh, you know, you hear about traditional Chinese medicine, meridian lines have been a debated topic in modern medicine up until about I think is about two one, one or two years ago, where they actually found the interconnection within the body of these like nerves that are all connected. And so When you look at the traditional Chinese medicine, think of acupuncture, acupuncture utilizes the meridian lines in your body to help, uh, you know, unblock the, the energy flow, the, the nerves connections and the firing of your nerves within your body that, that all speak to each other.  And so  this is, this is how it explains it says in traditional Chinese medicine, meridians are channels that form a network in the body through. Which qi, or qi, I assume, uh, vital energy flows. A blocky Causes pain and illness the flow is restored by using pressure needles suction or heat at hundreds of specific points along The meridians, right? You talk about acupuncture The meridian tooth chart is based on acupuncture meridians pathways of energy that span across interrelated body parts glands and tissues and you have to remember What did she? Say what are the comments say they're like when you have people having terrible horrific what they call like Suicide migraines or that trigeminal neuralgia that she talked about  Acupuncture is one of the only things  My wife actually dealt with that during one of her pregnancies, where she had what we thought was either trigeminal neuralgia, some sort of horrific like, um,  um, like clot in her brain or something. It was horrific, horrific headaches, unlike you could ever imagine in your whole life. And the only thing that helped my wife, The only thing that subsided the pain. We went to the hospital over it multiple times. They literally did nothing for us. Kicked us out with an 8, 000 bill.  The only thing that helped her.  And up until very recently, and even today, right now, the traditional acupuncture is not an accepted form of, of Western medicine. They don't, they don't agree that it's, it's works, but it works. People all over the country get acupuncture done. It's literally the Only thing that she did that helped her with her migraines. Why? Because it has to do with the nerves. It has to do with the meridian lines. It has to do with that flow of that, that firing of, of the nerves, that flow of energy throughout your body. We are electrical beings, your thoughts, your movements, everything that's happening inside of your body is an electrical pulse within these, the, the firing of these nerve endings. And so it makes sense that if you.  use the body to its advantage and understand that rather than trying to impose your will upon it with metal,  uh, you know, types of tools and  medications and pharmaceutical drugs and injections and all of these things that the modern Western medicine tries to impose its will upon the body rather than trying to allow the body to do what it needs to do to correct itself. That is the huge difference between modern medicine. medicine in traditional medicine, holistic medicine.  So it goes on to say the meridian tooth chart is based on acupuncture meridians, pathways of energy that span across interrelated body parts, glands and tissues. Each tooth is associated with a particular meridian through which energy flows.  And so  when you look at this chart here, make sure you're,   So when you look at this chart here and you zoom in on it and  take a look and if this is a chart that you want, I can send you over the link, just go to my Instagram. I'll have a post about this and you can just comment, uh, and I'll DM you it, but it basically outlines all of the teeth and, and what their attachment is to which part of your body and what can result from not Dealing with those issues correctly for that specific tooth. And so it goes through a whole long list of things from migraines and epilepsy from the, so if, so first, I guess it shows the tooth or teeth that are associated with it, then the part of the body. So things like your stomach and spleen, your lungs, your liver, your gallbladder, your bladder, your  lungs and large intestines, stomach, heart, small intestines, um, all of these different parts of your body.  are associated with a different tooth or a different meridian line.  Again, same thing that they deal with with acupuncture. And so the things that this can result from is migraines and epilepsy, rheumatism, migraines, focus issues, sterility and impotence. So even your, even your  Fertility can be affected by your teeth,  um, focus, right? And so each one of these different zones of your mouth can have different negative effects on your body. It says if a weakness of in a particular system or organ exists, the condition of the tooth associated with that area could exacerbate the problem working with our Meridian tooth chart makes us able to assess patients, general state of health and wellness, simply through a review of the oral environment. Each tooth is associated with a particular Meridian through which energy. Flows.  Very interesting. It says the mouth is the mirror to your body. Energy flows through the body along lines known as meridians. These lines associated with specific tissues, organs, and teeth. Health problems manifesting in the tooth may be related to conditions of the associated meridian.  Interesting because this is a specific doctor that kind of specializes in this stuff. And again, it's D R R O Z E dot.  Now, the funny thing about this is I found this article today,  which says there is now a drug to regrow teeth, which has been approved for human trials.  So, on the back of that, maybe you don't need to get all of your teeth pulled and get veneers. Maybe you just need this other pharmaceutical drug and that will solve all your issues, of course. And there'll be no side effects, just like everything else. Um, so it says, scientists are gearing up for human tricks.  Not tricks, trials. Human trials, which makes way more sense than tricks. Human tricks. For a groundbreaking, truth growing science. A tooth growing drug with hopes to offer those suffering from tooth loss a revolutionary alternative. Molecular biologist and dentist Katsu, uh, Takashi  developed the first of its kind drug by deactivating the uterine sensation associated gene, the UTI. One, protein, which is known to stop tooth growth. He has been working on tooth regeneration for almost 20 years. We want to do something to help those who are suffering from tooth loss or absence.  While there has been no treatment to date providing a permanent cure, we feel that people's expectations for tooth growth are high.  By stopping USAG 1 from interacting with other proteins, the drug prompts bone morphogenetic protein, BMP, signaling and encourages the growth of new bone and teeth. The researchers noted  that mice and ferrets share the same USAG 1 properties as humans. The animals happen to grow new teeth from the drug. So my concern would be that if you're growing new teeth and growing new bones, how does your body know which  to grow when and how long? Right, like if you hope to grow one tooth back, are you going to, you know, make yourself taller?  Like, are you going to make your fingers grow long, too long, and you're going to look like Edward Scissorfingers? Um, the USAG 1 protein has a high amino acid homology of 97 percent between different animal species, including humans, mice, and eagles? Wow, that's very specific.  Beagles.  Um, is that what they're doing the studies on? Oh, that's horrible. If you go back and listen. Remember what Fauci was doing to dogs? That nobody's bringing up again? Like, the horrific trials that Fauci was involved with? And I'm pretty sure it was all specifically beagles. Where they would  essentially put them in a cage where they couldn't escape and then put thousands of bugs in there that would essentially eat them alive?  And meanwhile, I'm sure he's just living it up on a yacht somewhere after getting roasted by the Senate this week.  Anyways, just a side tangent, human trials are set to start in September 2024 at Kyoto University Hospital in Japan, using 30 male participants between the ages of 30 and 64 who are missing at least one molar. The next phase will look at children who suffer from congenital tooth deficiency.  Then, researchers will explore other  Generations who have lost a tooth due to environmental factors have proven successful the drug could become widely available as soon as 2030. The promising development in dentistry has the potential to revolutionize the way the treatment of tooth loss and provide solutions for people across the globe. So, if this lady, this girl, this woman, maybe just waited a few years,  I don't think that was her problem. The problem was vanity and living in Miami around a bunch of vain people.  People, but anyways, interesting, very interesting.  Now, the next thing we're going to talk about here, which I found to be a pretty wild scenario is that there was a dad. Dad went on stage and punched a comedian  over his sexualized joke about his baby son. Now, from what I saw, this wasn't onstage joke. This was like on Twitter,  uh,  prior to this. But let me read 'cause maybe I'm wrong, I didn't read this article yet. It says, footage of a dad punching a comedian's mid, uh, comedian Midat after he allegedly made a sexualized joke about his three-year-old son has gone viral. Spanish comedian Jamie. Caravaca was performing a standup comedy show in Madrid on Monday evening when a man unexpectedly gets on stage. Dad, Alberto Pugalito, punched Caravaca  in the head while shouting in Spanish. This is for the pedophile comment he made about my son. Will you repeat now what you said about my son? Pugalito continued while calling the comedian a piece of shit.  Say it. Say it again to my face, he said, enraged. Here, now, say it to my face. Yeah, I'm pretty sure this happened, like, on Twitter, and then he went to his show and started, and, like, punched him on stage and then smacked him in the face. It says,  Three month old son. The dad hit Caravaca one more time before leaving the stage.  Says comedian makes jokes at art. So here's the video. Let's go ahead and watch it. It's in Spanish. So I'll, I'll translate for you. In which case, don't listen to me translating and listen to the Spanish.  It says, who are you?  What's up? It  says, this is for, this is for my Alright, let's just start the whole thing with this. So loud. He  said, who are you? Huh? Oh shit.  What's up, huh? He smacks him. What have you said?  This is  for the pedophile account. Huh? Huh? Will you repeat now what you said about my son?  Huh? Piece of shit. Now what?  What were you saying about a black cock in my son's second cock at  three months  old? Huh? Piece of shit?  Huh? Now what? Say it. Say it again to my  face. Here. Now. Say it to my face.  He said, I'm sorry. He turns around. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm asking you all for forgiveness. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm just a dad that defends his kids. He has made sectionalizing comments about my three month old son. And that has it's consequences. He says, can we talk to you? He says, no, you can go. He calls him a clown. He's a weird  dad. I don't believe in that so much. And this next bit is how I would crack your fucking skull. And then he says, let's leave.  Good.  Finally, justice is served for somebody who's talking shit online, who in no way shape or form would ever back it up or say the same thing in person. So this man, this father gets his, in a Twitter argument with some comedian online.  The comedian then tells him something about his son sucking black cock. Excuse my vulgarity.  And his son's three months old. So this man drives to his comedy show, goes up on stage, punches him, and then smacks him in the face while ridiculing him in front of his entire crowd.  That deserves a standing ovation, and I'm sure it was much more entertaining than whatever bullshit comedy this clown, as he would describe it, was going to actually do during his show.  Alright, so, good. Good. More people getting to get smacked. Hundred percent. More people getting to get smacked for the stuff they say online. Good. For sure. 100%.  If you are willing to say something to somebody online, you should understand that that is a real person, potentially, depending on if they're a bot or not, but majority of the time, they're a real person  who  you could see out there and you would never repeat yourself to them in public. Right, just the same way that when you're driving a car, you would never treat people the same way as you treat them when you're driving. Because it's like removed, you remove yourself from the human aspect. It's not a situation we were supposed to find ourselves in biologically. Is that you're going 85 miles an hour with a metal, you know, 3, 5, 8, 000 pound  vehicle representing you.  Not supposed to be that way. Just the same way. It's not supposed to be you're on a  looking, staring at a piece of glass, somehow  communicating with some person across the globe, or maybe even five minutes down the road, but you don't know it in that part, you would say some crazy stuff to that person, but in this situation,  he got what he deserved.  So  let's see if there was any updates on this. Nope.  Clarified the transcription. Cool. So just wanted to point it out. I think this, that's a real dad right there. That's a real man who shows up there, says, say it to my face, say it to my face, smacks him just like he deserved and then leaves. Respectfully looks at the audience, apologizes and says, but I needed to do this for my son.  And I don't disagree.  All right.  Now onto some more serious matters. Okay. Which is the fact that a remote Amazon tribe was given Starlink and given access to the internet and the very Very first thing that they did the very first thing that they did was got addicted to porn.  I Mean to be fair. I don't blame them, right? If you had never if the only thing you've seen is like the seven Ten twenty hundred women that are around you all the time and in your remote tribe You  And all of a sudden you have access to all of these  supermodels from around the world, shaking their ass in your face on a piece of glass in front of you. And you've never had the opportunity of that before.  I get like, I get it.  It really does show you the power of, of like human human biology,  that the very first thing that they did was get addicted to porn, not gambling, not cryptocurrencies,  not NFTs. They got addicted to porn. Almost immediately. Thank you, Elon Musk.  And I believe there's a video here. Let's watch this video. I'm  not sure if there's audio to it.  Let's see.  Let's refresh.  Here we go.  You're just watching this guy in this forest with his knife next to a tree.  It's like indigenous tribe member.  And they're like behind this leaf with the camera. I'm not sure what this has to do with this article at all.  Maybe he's sneaking off with his new iPhone to go  watch Pornhub. Why is this on this page?  Okay, maybe it was like some random,  maybe we'll have context here.  Rare footage of uncontacted tribe in the Amazon. Okay. So it says what started as a moment of optimism and excitement was swiftly transformed into something worrying and sinister. After a remote tribe in the Amazon rainforest was finally hooked up to the Internet.  The Marubo people had resisted modernity.  Moderninity? Modernity? Moderninity? What the fuck? What? And preserved their indigenous way of life in one of the most isolated stretches of the planet for centuries. But then, in September, they found themselves equipped with high speed internet thanks to Elon Musk. The tribe is one of hundreds across Brazil that have been given access to the web through Starlink, the SpaceX subsidiary which provides satellite internet coverage in almost a hundred countries.  But rather than feel beautifully connected to the world, the installation has left the 2, 000 member Marubos feeling bitterly divided as pornography and social media poison its youngsters. When it arrived, everyone was happy.  SonomamaMarubo73 told the New York Times, whose reporters traveled to the tribe's remote villages.  But now, things have gotten worse.  Says, uh, they explained that the internet has brought a number of undeniable benefits, such as the ability to video chat with faraway loved ones, or call for help in emergencies. However, she said, the youth has grown increasingly disinterested in more traditional activities, such as making dyes and jewelry from berries and shells. Yeah,  young people have gotten lazy because of the Internet.  She lamented, they're learning the ways of the white people.  Hmm.  Pretty sure it's not just white people that have access to the internet. After just nine months with Starlink, the Marubo.  Already found themselves faced with the same issues that plague Western families. That's really interesting though, to like kind of accelerate this technological advancement and see as like a Petri dish, how quickly their lifestyle could be tainted.  Um, it says that.  The same issues that plague Western families, addictive social networks, misinformation, wow I'm sure they're so concerned about misinformation, scams, violent video games, and minors watching adult content. Alfredo Marubo, leader of the Marubo Association of Villages, has become the tribe's most vocal critic of the internet.  He told the New York Times that he worried that his culture's oral history and customs will be lost now.  Because everyone is so connected that sometimes they don't even want to talk to their own family. He admitted that he felt most concerned by the newfound interest in pornography, particularly given that Marubo culture frowns upon mere kissing in public. We're worried young people are going to want to try it, he said.  He said of the graphic sex depicted in videos which young men now send each other in group chats. That's a little gay. Alfredo, Alfredo added that some leaders have already noticed more aggressive sexual behavior among their youngsters.  Meanwhile, a father of three said that while he was happy the internet was helping to educate his children, he also felt concerned about the first person shooter video games.  I'm worried they're suddenly going to want to mimic them. I don't think you guys have, you know, the right equipment out there. Uh, yet many tribe members continue to extol  the internet's positive power and potential.  Uh, he pointed out that a venomous snake bite can require swift rescue by helicopter, but before the internet, the Marubo relied on amateur radio to relay urgent messages through several villages in order to reach the authorities. Now such calls are instantaneous, and it could, it's already saved lives.  Very interesting. This is in the village, you don't hunt, fish, or plant, you don't eat. Well. Now they can just order DoorDash, right? Maybe not, but you get the point. Meanwhile, Thomas A. Marubo, 42, the tribe's first woman leader, stressed that while some young people just want to spend the whole afternoon on their phones.  Yeah, I'm sure that's actually quite difficult. Like I have, you know, I have children. I have children that are the age enough to have technology and deal with the woes of an iPad in your house. And you, it took a long time. Like when I was growing up.  Our parents saw the, the, the advances and still gave like some timelines, but there's a lot of children today that just have absolute free reign of their technology, and it baffles me because you have to set those guidelines. The, the, the iPads, the social media, the whatever it is, pornography, whatever it is, is absolutely 100% designed so that you, it hijacks behaviorally the, the biology inside of you to make you want to stay there and give them your money and your attention. Right, because tension is just a currency.  Uh, he explained that decades ago, the most respected Marubo shaman had visions of a handheld device that could connect the entire world. Oh, did he?  You mean he somehow saw a phone? Um, it would be good for the people, he said, but in the end, it wouldn't be. Wow, they foresaw this. In the end, it would be war. Nevertheless, his son, Inoki,  insisted,  I see, I think the internet will bring us much more benefit than harm, at least for now. And regardless, there's no going back. The leaders have been clear, he said. We can't live without the internet.  So interesting. So many conversations that you could have about that regarding that, that, that, like, incubator, right? That, that Petri dish of just it completely accelerating from hunter gatherer societies immediately being Thrusted into, for lack of a better word. thrusted into our modern society of technology and all of the negative side effects that that would have on the not just the youth but the I guarantee you the adults are watching just as much porn as the kids right or playing the first person shooters or you know there's so many things that that are actual negative effects on society  so speaking of like faraway tribes and I'm not going to touch on this long because I have to get to the bigger deep dive but there was this african tomb  and  The king, the tomb of this king was made of completely human blood. Is that what I'm reading? Right? So scientists have uncovered a grisly secret at the tomb of an infamously bloodthirsty ruler. King Geza ruled the West African kingdom of Dahami from 1818 to 1858 before it fell to the French colonization at the end of the 19th century. And yet he carried his violent tyranny to the literally, as a news study published in the journal of  Prodemic  says, Over the course of his four decade reign, King Geza was known both for his military power and his brutality towards his enemies. Uh, he was so vicious that the ally, uh, leading to his hut was paved with the skulls. The alley leading to his hut was paved with the skulls and jawbones of defeated enemies,  while his throne rested on the skulls of four defeated enemy leaders.  Gangster. Ironically, according to the official records, Gezzo died peacefully in his home, but he couldn't resist bringing a bit of savagery down to the underworld with him. Before his death, he ordered the construction of two adjoined funer Funerary huts to be built in honor of his father,  who wrote from 1797 to 1818. For decades, rumors swirled around his tomb, suggesting that it was built using the blood of 41 human sacrifice victims. Now a team of researchers have confirmed that this is indeed true.  True.  Whoa.  According to the team of medical and archaeological specialists, the victims would likely have been prisoners of war or enslaved people. And because 41 is a sacred number in voodoos, they would likely have been sacrificed in a ceremony conducted to protect the late king's remains. Geez. The study's authors explained the kings of Aberney were god kings,  whose culture and religion centered on voodoo beliefs.  In this chronocultural context, death is only a change of state, not a total disappearance. Importantly, which I completely agree with. Importantly, a barrier between the human world and the place where the body is laid can be magically delineated. The separator is part of a supernatural border, since metaphysical elements are incorporated into the physical world.  Prayer, sacred water, and the blood of enemies were among the elements considered key to consecrating buildings such as these. When combined,  so prayers, water, and blood.  When combined, their mystical force was believed to symbolically protect what remains of the subtle essence of the deceased king. Geez,  uh, to determine the truth behind the legend, the scientists use a technique called high resolution, tandem, uh, tandem mass spectra spectrometry, spectrometry to analyze the mortar, uh, used to build the funeral Hutt's wall. Specifically, they examine the proteins present rather than the genes  as DNA degrades easily over time, depending on the storage conditions and most importantly, for this study, it cannot provide information on the source tissue.  Unlike proteins, which can serve as biological archive, the testing identified hemoglobin and. Uh, immunoglobins.  from both human and chickens present.  Very interesting. This involved a sacrifice of as many as 500 victims. So it's possible the blood in the mortar may have come from one such ceremony.  It's a ceremony called the great customs.  Now the researchers hope that future DNA analysis might help pinpoint the exact number of individuals in the tomb. As far as we're concerned, even one is too many. Yeah. Thank you for your insight. Yeah. Don't kill people and scrub them on the walls. Well, after you die to protect you  don't do that.  All right. Now we have our deep dive, my friends,  which is going to be about Gabriela Rico Jimenez.  But first,  make sure you hit that subscribe button.  Make sure you leave a five star review and make sure you should you support your boy.

So.  That's what I got. Let's go ahead and talk about this right here, which is Gabriela Rico Jimenez, the very, very dark and curiously interesting story about the disappearance of Of a Mexican supermodel.  So let's go ahead and read this together. There's several, several articles about this one from the daily mail. One from, uh, this right here is from the daily mail, which outlines all of this as well. But the most  intricate of these I found from this Reddit post, which has all of it.  So, here we go.  Let's watch this video first. This is the video  of this supermodel, Gabriela Jimenez, where she is freaking out outside of this hotel.  And I will tell you what she's saying again. We have a lot of Spanish translations today, interestingly enough.  Uh, so, let's go ahead and watch this video and I'll tell you what she's saying. Translate for you. Right?  All right. It says, let's hear what the young girl was shouting on the street. This is from a news company  She's saying I wanted my freedom  and you can hear the pain in her voice  Since Monterey freed me, but it cost me a lot of work.  I was in Mexico City for a year and four months She's crying  all of this began in mid 2001  I barely remember. They were young and powerful, and they killed them.  I'd been knocking on doors. What I wanted was my freedom. I want my freedom.  She was claiming to have been abducted or essentially being, kind of, uh, being trafficked in a trafficking situation.  Um, Carlos Slim. Dominique knew about this. I want my freedom. Now that name becomes very, very important. Carlos Slim. You may be familiar with it. One of the richest men in the world, and is the richest man in Mexico today. It hurts my soul, she said, that they took him away. Leave me alone. They have already taken me to the police station, and they have told me that they know nothing.  She's screaming at these police officers right now.  They took me to the general hospital.  You, you were there. Go get the, you killed Murino.  And we'll talk about who that is in a minute, it's a politician. They told me, who did they kill? The  Queen of England? The Queen of Germany? Did they kill the princesses? And Mickey Mouse?  It was also him, she said.  What? Nothing is gonna come here. The people where you come from, they are crazy.  They killed a lot of people, she's screaming at this man, telling him. Death to that kind of human. Go away.  Saying that he was a part of it.  They ate humans. Disgusting, she said.  They ate humans.  I wasn't aware of anything. Of the murders. Yes. But they ate humans. Humans. They smell like human flesh.  Now this female police officer is walking up to her. You are not going to take me until this is clarified. You already took me there. Let me go.  As this female police officer grabs her,  she says, let me go.  It says, this is the sad  reality of the young Gabriela Rico Jimenez that you saw a moment ago tried to attack the police officer who managed to take her, no, the police officer grabbed her and she pushed back. She wasn't attacking the police officer. That's  so silly. There's  the video for you and the translation thereof. Let's go ahead and read this article and talk about it.  So, this says the event took place in August of 2009  in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, in front of a hotel located on Ocampo Street, in between the avenue of Pino Suarez and not going to try and pronounce that. The news broadcast features a young woman named Gabriela Rico Jimenez screaming in front of a luxury hotel. She repeatedly pleads for her freedom and claims she was held against her will. She makes claims of murder and cannibalism and drops some very big names in her accusations. Most public outbursts such as this could be attributed to mental illness or substance abuse, but Gabriela's claims are consistent and somewhat coherent and she speaks with such horror and conviction. I feel compelled to further consider her credibility.  Then they show the news clip.  There's the transcription, I already read it for you. It said, What happened to Gabriela Rico Jimenez? So, you saw this woman, out in front of this hotel, screaming at this man, screaming at this man, saying, You knew about this. You were a part of it. You were there. They took me to the hospital because of it. And they said, who, who did the, who did they kill? Who did they kill? Did they kill the princesses? Did they kill the Queen of England? Did they kill Mickey Mouse making fun of her?  And she said, no, they killed Marino. And Marino  was a politician.  She even mentions the name Carlos Slim. Now, Carlos Slim, as I was telling you, was one of the most powerful people and the richest man in Mexico.  Carlos Slim is a huge contributor and donor to the Clinton Foundation.  The Clinton family  funds all of these politicians, Democratic politicians. And guess what else he funded?  The movie, The Sound of Freedom.  Hmm. So the same man being accused by this woman who disappeared and was never saw again  funded the Clinton campaign  was,  she claims,  was trafficking people,  cannibalizing them, and set up the murder of a politician.  That same man funded the movie, The Sound of Freedom,  which is just so happens to be about trafficking children.  That's interesting.  Very interesting, especially when you understand the controversy surrounding The Sound of Freedom, and the man who did the documentary, and the accusations against him.  Now it says a witness speaks, and this is, let's see.  Here it is. Here's where it talks about Carlos Slim.  It says what happened to her. Finally, Gabriela Rico Jimenez, the woman who was arrested outside of a hotel in Monterey, was helped by DIF police on Monterey. And after she was detained in jail by the regional police, she was, she was sent to a psychiatric center in Buenos Aires. colony where she will stay indefinitely while she receives help and can be well cared for.  Gabriela mentions the name Carlo Slim, and who was a Mexican business magnet of Lebanese descent. He is the richest man in Mexico and was the richest man in the world from 2010 to 2013.  He has a son Carlos Slim,  who serves as chairman of the board of his father's conglomerate company. The Merino,  Gabriela claims was murdered is Juan Camilo Mourinho Torre Torrezo,  who is a Mexican politician affiliated with the National Action Party, and the Secretary of the Interior of the Cabinet of President Felipe Calderón. He died in November of 2008.  During a Mexican city Learjet crash, the government plane was seen traveling and crashed into rush hour traffic under mysterious circumstances. There were 16 fatalities, all 9 people on board and 7 people on the ground died.  Juan Camilo Mourinho was 37. As President Felipe Calderon's strongman, he had been leading a government campaign against Mexico's powerful and violent drug gangs. Illuminati conspiracy theories frequently mention the British monarch, among others, as well as Disney symbolism. There is also a rumor that the Prince Philip, the Queen's husband, once said that cannibalism is a radical, but realistic solution to the problem of overpopulation?  Whoa, let's see if we can verify that in a minute. Um, there is a testimony of the alleged witness to Gabriella's breakdown on a Spanish language blog called the black Manic  a law student claims to have spoken with Gabriella and gives the following account of their interaction.  Um, it says a witness speaks after a long time. I will not reveal his name for obvious reasons. So what he says is basically that he was in the detention center at the time he was working as a law student and was in this detention center doing some work. And he said that he saw her there. He said, I still remember her face full of despair, fear, anguish. She felt very weary of the environment and a strange feeling. I approached her and asked her some questions.  Um, if I name, if I knew where she lived, she told me that she, they were all, that we were all dead. And that we were all dead, that we were all, we were among them, among other things. That simply left me paralyzed after 20 minutes of being with her some tall well dressed people arrived They practically pulled me out of there I asked them why they did this if this was just a poor girl with a mental disorder  Asked where that where they were taking her. They told me that was not my business to for me to retire When they left me they stopped me and asked me what she told me  I answered them insane and I ran away. The next day I went to the senior officers of the ministry and told them about the issue and wanted information because the girl's family requested it. They just laughed and said, really? If she does not exist, she never existed. And you do not work here.  I got a shiver and left. I left everything and left Monterey. I had a feeling that what had happened those days and what that girl said were true as I could. I left everything and got out of there. She told me that in Monterey there was some kind of underground base where they lived and regularly stole children as food and other things.  By my profession, I dare not reveal my encounter. I have family and children who depend on me. And for logical and reputation reasons, I cannot. I would like to go out and spread it to the four winds, but society would call me crazy. Although I have the marks of the attack,  is a little bad back, there are nights I just cannot sleep.  That's a weird translation. I have the same feeling, the same feeling that when I saw them the first time, it was like a, uh, presentiment is appreciated that they do not judge me as crazy for telling me that. Only me and for those who were with me at the time know what happened. Those are monsters. At least the one who attacked me was a monster. If he found me, he would only have died since a drawing came into my hands.  What?   Interesting.  Hmm.  So  that's what happened to this woman. She's never been seen since nobody knows where she's at and the internet was essentially scrubbed of her modeling history. Like she was a pretty prominent supermodel. She had brushed arms with all of these oligarch types like Carlos Slim and she Essentially after this happened, you look up her name now and you can't find anything about her as a person or her modeling career besides just these articles about this situation calling her crazy. But she's never been seen again. And she was 21 at the time. So she would be what this was 15 years ago, she'd be 3536 right now. And some people believe she's just still in that same mental institution. And she may very well have been a part of some like MK ultra type mind programming. And so  crazy shit. Transcribed  And there's video of it and the only reason that they showed this video on the news was because she was a prominent model.  And so when you look at who is Carlos Slim, who is the person that she is claiming was a part of this, who is at the head of this, and actually if you understand that the most powerful people in Mexico, who have the most money,  I mean, this is conjecture,  um, but,  Very likely have ties like you don't you don't get to flaunt your money or be in a position of very high power in Mexico I assume without having some way shape or form brushed arms with the cartels.  So who is Carlos Slim?  Well, let's watch this video of Trump  First and see what he has to say about Carlos Slim   Times is Carlos Slim now Carlos Slim as you know comes from Mexico He's given many millions of dollars to the Clintons and their initiatives. So Carlos Slim, largest owner of the paper from Mexico, reporters at the New York times, they're not journalists, they're corporate   lobbyists for Carlos Slim and Hillary Clinton. He is the majority holder of the New York times.  So why did Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton's Mexican cartel partner, Carlos Slim fund the sound of freedom?  That's interesting. And here's a picture with Joe Biden, Carlos Slim, and Hunter Biden all together, says the sound of freedom brings to light the horror of human trafficking. However, there's one major question about the film. Why did Carlos Slim, a man with connections to Mexican cartels, Hillary Clinton and Hunter Biden fund the film?  In 2016, Donald Trump warned America about Carlos Slim and his connections with the New York times. And Hillary Clinton saying now Carlos Slim, as you know, is a Comes from Mexico. He has given many millions of dollars to the Clintons in those organizations.  WikiLeaks emails revealed that Slim had connections to with drug, Mexican drug cartels. Even the Guardian published the article titled, who is more dangerous? El Chapo or Carlos Slim?  Hunter Biden's laptop revealed that Slim was also a top customer of the Bidens.  There are even pictures of Hunter and Joe doing business with Mr. Slim. Now here comes the tricky question. Why did Mr. Slim fund the Sound of Freedom when he has direct ties to cartels that are guilty of smuggling?  The Deep State's most effective tool against Trump was the QAnon conspiracy theory. Q is effective because the Deep State  used the theory and its associated accounts to leak just enough information to be credible, but at the same time, nothing being leaked could ever  tie anyone directly, hence why dark to light never happened. Hmm.  What is this company? National  The national file. com. Okay. So maybe take this with a grain of salt because I don't know, but I mean, it's legit. Everything he's saying is legit. Or she, um, Q also gave the false pretense that to MAGA supporters that they did not need to be involved with their local GOP through the trust plan line. Okay.  Um,  Hmm.  Interesting. Uh, re energizing the Q PSY op may have been Slim's reason for funding the sound of freedom.  The solution to the human trafficking problem is the same as election integrity. America's first patriots get involved with their local GOP to ensure MAGA, congressional and presidential candidates,  are on the ballot and win free and fair elections. Hmm. Okay.  Uh, so take that all with a grain of salt, but nothing he said that was factually incorrect. Carlos Slim is tied to  drug cartels. Carlos Slim is tied to the Bi

In this episode, we'll dig into the different mechanisms by which gene therapy can potentially treat specific genetic diseases – such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, and others.In 1993, a multinational group of scientists and doctors solved a medical mystery 150 years in the making.And they did it, in part, by examining the genealogy of a particular family in Vermont. In 1835, a farmer named Erastus Farr died of a mysterious illness characterized by a progressive weakening of his muscles followed by paralysis and respiratory failure.Thirty years later, his descendent Samuel Farr died of the same condition, as did four of Samuel's eight children, the youngest at the age of 27. By 1880, the Canadian physician Sir William Osler had studied the Farr family phenomenon and concluded that they all suffered from a newly identified disease known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.But how could this frightening condition be passed from one generation to the next?Over the next hundred years, scientific interest in the disease grew, especially after the legendary baseball player Lou Gehrig died of the disease in 1941.But there was still a mystery: while 90% of ALS cases are considered sporadic – meaning there is no hereditary connection – the other 10% of cases seemed to run in families, like the Farrs.After the dawn of the genetic age, scientists began to suspect a gene variation was at the heart of the mystery. And then finally, in 1993, scientists including Robert Brown at the University of Massachusetts medical school, who studied the Farr family and others while also investigating the human genome, uncovered the answer.In some ALS patients, a variant of a single gene, called SOD1, can cause a buildup of toxic proteins in the brain, leading to the various symptoms that characterize the disease. In this case, the goal of gene therapy is to block or silence the abnormal production of a protein.And solving that mystery has paved the way for gene therapy, perhaps someday soon, to provide the first known treatment for familial ALS.For more education on gene therapy, visit www.genetherapynetwork.com.

The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure.  “Failing Forward” was a concept defined by John C. Maxwell several years ago, and that axiomatic truth could not be more readily apparent than in value-based care.  Transforming healthcare to lower costs and improve patient outcomes is tough work. PERIOD.  It requires many years of experimentation and “trial and error” innovation. The suffering index in the value movement can be immense, but the returns – in both financial success and personal/professional fulfillment – make it a purposeful endeavor. Dr. Jesse James, the Chief Medical Officer for CHESS Health Solutions, is a leader in the value movement who believes in Failing Forward as a key to success in value-based care.  In his role, he oversees quality and clinical services for a population health management company that supports more than 3,000 providers and 150,000 patients. Dr. James joins us this week to show us that as leaders in value, “We must be willing to fail forward. “It's our scar tissue that makes us stronger.”  Tune in this week to learn from one of the best!  In this episode, Dr. James provides leadership and business insights that are profoundly helpful for physicians, executives, and entrepreneurs looking to win this Race to Value.

A recent headline from the FDA recommends the daily dose of sugar is 50 grams. One teaspoon of sugar is 4 grams, so that's over 12 teaspoons of sugar! Any sugar in our bloodstream is toxic and our bodies know this. Dr. Martin connects this headline to the father of modern medicine, Canadian physician Sir William Osler (1849-1919). Osler revolutionized the way in which medical education was taught during his tenure at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He was the first physician to identify the cause of gout as that of high absorption of sugar and fructose, not because of red meat. Even in the 1800s, doctors knew that sugar played a role in many of our diseases! Dr. Martin also discusses a second headline, “Stop Eating After Sunset.” The benefits of not eating after dinner include decreases in fat mass, blood pressure, triglycerides, and oxidative damage, as well as a decline of inflammation. Start a good habit, and stop eating at night!  

The Montreal General Hospital was founded in 1821 and is famous for many medical firsts including the fact that its founding doctors established Canada’s first faculty of medicine program at McGill University. The hospital treated patients through several major outbreaks of disease from  the deadly flu pandemic of 1918 to the COVID-19 pandemic, and is now one of only three Level 1 trauma centres in the province of Quebec. It is part of Canada’s largest hospital system called the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC). 'No shortage of history makers' “The Montreal General Hospital has no shortage of history makers in its first 200 years,” said MUHC President and Executive Director Dr. Pierre Gfeller. “While Sir William Osler, credited with pioneering bedside teaching in Canada, is often named, consider that the hospital might not have existed as early as it did were it not for the Female Benevolent Society, which identified the need for the four-bed ‘House of Recovery’ to address poverty and illness in the city. Then there is Miss Nora Livingston, whose founding of the School of Nursing helped transform the profession, and Drs William Wright and Eleanor Percival, the hospital’s first Black and Female attending physicians. Their actions and those of many more have altered the course of our institution, health system and community." Sir William Osler, introduced the novel practice of having medical students learn not only in class but at patients' bedsides. (University of Pennsylvania archives) Cancer break though and pain research celebrated To celebrate the hospital’s 200th anniversary there will be a large-scale exhibition posted online and several other activities. The virtual exhibit is billed as a journey through the two centuries of hospital history, medical innovation and exceptional individuals and teams. It features photos, artwork, text and videos from local and national collections and takes viewers through the excitement of the biomedical revolution. It highlights breakthroughs such as Dr. Phil Gold and Dr. Samuel Freedman’s discovery of the first biomarker for cancer and Dr. Ronald Melzack's contributions to pain theory which paved the way for research and treatment.  Nora Livingston pioneered nursing education and introduced standards to elevate the level of patient care. (Montreal General Hospital) Hospital was funded through philanthropy The Montreal General Hospital was one of the first public healthcare institutions in Montreal, and it relied largely on funding from community sources. Although health care is publicly funded in Canada, the General still benefits greatly from philanthropy.  Besides the virtual exhibition, the year’s activities will include a book launch by celebrity hockey surgeon Dr. David Mulder and public lectures on topics ranging from Mental Health and Aging to Trauma and Emergency Care. The theme for this anniversary is Reaching and Exceeding and is inspired by the quote from the poet Robert Browning, “A man’s reach should exceed his grasp.” The logo features an infinity symbol, which the hospital says represents the endless pursuit of excellence of healthcare workers and support staff. The anniversary logo features an infinity symbol, meant to represent the endless pursuit of excellence. (MUHC)

Trent and Theresa talk about winning the day. They share a key takeaway from their recent read -- Mark Batterson's Win the Day. And how that takeaway applies to both life and athletics. -Theresa's takeaway: “Our grand business undoubtedly is, not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.” -Thomas Carlyle*What would it look like to live, in the words of Sir William Osler, "in day tight compartments?"*Being present is a skill and a discipline needed to be our best in both athletics and life. It must be practiced and trained.-Trent's takeaway: If you do little things like they’re big things, God will do big things like they’re little things...Dream big but start small.*Where are you dreaming too small?*What are the small opportunities to which you need to treat with a greater sense of professionalism?

Show NotesNovember 17, 2020Many thanks to David Weinstock, MD, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and oncologist at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Cambridge, MA, for commenting on his recent article published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM 2020;383 (19):1809-1811). Dr. Weinstock's impeccable credentials make his article all the more persuasive.Dr. Weinstock reluctantly concluded that it was humanly impossible, at least for him, to maintain optimal clinical skills while running an oncology laboratory searching for a cure for cancer. He admits to “feeling like a failure” at being unable to continue as a “triple threat” (clinician, researcher, and teacher). Finally, he realized, “Medicine is an art. Great artists obsess over their work, they practice to the exclusion of all else.” We agreed that primary care clinicians and other generalists face an explosion of knowledge to master that tasks even the most talented and dedicated practitioners.Dr. Weinstock's realization took courage to put into print for colleagues and students to see. Nonetheless, he felt obligated to share this new reality with current students who hope to become physician-scientists. He still encourages trainees to pursue a career as a physician-scientist if that is their passion. A physician-scientist is still “the best job that there is, but it's a very long training process, and you've got to be in it for the journey, and you've got to get goosebumps every once in a while when you discover something….” To put his advice in perspective, note that Dr. Weinstock trained for 18 years before getting his first job!Please join us for this 20-minute interview as we discuss how the practice of medicine and medical research has evolved since the days of Sir William Osler, Wilder Penfield, and James Parkinson--when physicians really could do it all.For more fascinating interviews, please subscribe to “The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner” at www.youtube.com/c/andrewwilnermdauthor.

Reading is undoubtedly the best way to gather new information on any given topic. Each subject has tons of written material dedicated to it; we just need to find the resources that most closely sync with our motivations behind studying a particular topic. Yet, even if we discover these resources, how do we read in a way that helps us retain the most information? How can we maximize our learning through the written word? The first step here is to just take some time out to read from our busy schedules.

"Around the time of the coronavirus outbreak, 2019 also marked a full century since the death of Sir William Osler, who revolutionized medical training. Despite some lingering debate over whether Dr. Osler’s pneumonia-related death should be counted among the 50 million lost to the 1918 influenza pandemic, his notes suggest that he believed the flu precipitated his demise. As a chaplain who teaches medical humanities and professional identity formation in a medical school, I’ve been thinking about how Dr. Osler might have guided medical students during COVID-19.  Here, the evidence is a little clearer. Dr. Osler advocated for trainees to 'let no day pass without contact with the greatest literature in the world,' and to spend 30 minutes each night reading from a bedside library of ten classics. Included among these recommended texts were the Old and New Testaments and Sir Thomas Browne’s Religio Medici, a physician’s spiritual testament." Elizabeth J. Berger is an advanced practice board-certified chaplain and a narrative medicine specialist. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "Why spiritual health is so important for medical students."

Robert Morrison, MD is a Professor of Medicine at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. Dr. Morrison received his medical degree from Indiana University School of Medicine in Indiana, IN. He completed his internship and residency in internal medicine at Fitzsimons Army Medical Center in Colorado. Dr. Morrison went on to complete his fellowship in infectious diseases at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC. Dr. Morrison's career spans from serving in the US Army for 20 years and as the chief of medicine and program director for an army training hospital, to his current role as a clinician educator in the Department of Medicine at the University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center. What happens when we view ourselves as the leaders of the system—as opposed to working for it? Dr. Robert Morrison believes this is an antidote for physician burnout, and encourages us to shift our perspective. “We have got to be the leaders. The system won't lead us,” says Dr. Morrison. He also reminds us of the importance of doing the right thing: The right thing for the patient is the right thing for everyone else, always. It is important to align the factors of healthcare to benefit the patient—without ever sacrificing their needs. In the words of Sir William Osler “We begin with the patient, stay with the patient, and end with the patient.” Pearls of Wisdom: 1. Everything begins and ends with the patient. In the words of Sir William Osler, “We begin with the patient, stay with the patient, and end with the patient.” 2. We can better avoid burnout when we view ourselves as leading the system, rather than working for it. 3. If we want to do the right thing, sometimes we need to think outside the box and align the needs of the institution and businessmen without sacrificing the needs of our patients.

Listen in as Dr. Cook talks with his longtime friend and colleague, Dr. Iqbal Mirza about his experience on the front lines of treating COVID 19 patients in a hospital setting.  Dr. Mirza, despite being in a high risk category for contracting COVID 19 himself, made the clear decision that he wanted to continue to work during the pandemic. "This is what I signed up for. This is what my whole career has been about. I feel this is my calling." As fellow anesthesiologists, they also explore advances in anesthesia and medicine that help them do an even better job of managing the risk and safety of their patients; their number one priority. They share their personal experience and learnings, treating patients in different settings under the current climate. Inspired by the late Sir William Osler, considered by many the father of modern medicine, both Dr. Cook and Dr. Mirza share a commitment to learning new things every day that will make them better doctors. "If every day a physician is not a student, he is no longer a physician". - Sr. William OslerThis and more as Dr. Cook and Dr. Mirza speak authentically about their experiences as physicians.  

About 25 years ago, while sharing an early morning cup of coffee with my dear friend and practice partner, family physician John Hartman, MD, he asked, “Walt, how come we don’t bring our faith to work with us more often?” It was a question the Lord used to convict me of the fact that although my personal relationship with God was the primary and most important relationship in my life, more often than not I tended to leave Him at the door when entering the hospital or medical office. The question was the catalyst for this talk: Spiritual Interventions in Patient Care. Research findings, a desire to provide high-quality care, and simple common sense, all underscore the need to integrate spirituality into patient care. It is highly ethical for healthcare professionals and healthcare systems to assess their patients’ spiritual health and needs and to provide indicated and desired spiritual interventions. Clinicians and health care systems should not deprive their patients of the spiritual support and comfort on which their hope, health, wellbeing, and longevity may hinge. Before you get started, I must share this caution from Stephen Post, PhD: “Professional problems can occur when well-meaning healthcare professionals ‘faith-push’ a patient opposed to discussing religion.” However, on the other side of the coin, “rather than ignoring faith completely with all patients, most of whom want to discuss it, we can explore which of our patients are interested and who are not.” Simply put, a spiritual assessment can help us do this with each patient we see. We can potentially gain the following from a spiritual assessment: The patient’s religious background, The role that religious or spiritual beliefs or practices play in coping with illness (or causing distress), Beliefs that may influence or conflict with decisions about medical care,  The patient’s level of participation in a spiritual community and whether the community is supportive, and ‹ Any spiritual needs that might be present. Several fairly-easy-to-use mnemonics have been designed to help health professionals, such as the “GOD” spiritual assessment I developed for CMDA’s Saline Solution: G = God: − May I ask your faith background? Do you have a spiritual or faith preference? Is God, spirituality, religion or spiritual faith important to you now, or has it been in the past? O = Others: − Do you now meet with others in religious or spiritual community, or have you in the past? If so, how often? How do you integrate with your faith community? D = Do: − What can I do to assist you in incorporating your spiritual or religious faith into your medical care? Or, is there anything I can do to encourage your faith? May I pray with or for you? However, this and other spiritual assessment tools fail to inquire about a critical item involving spiritual health: any religious struggles the patient may be having. A robust literature shows religious struggles can predict mortality, as there is an inverse association between faith and morbidity and mortality of various types. Sir William Osler, one of the founding professors of Johns Hopkins Hospital and frequently described as the “Father of Modern Medicine,” wrote, “Nothing in life is more wonderful than faith…the one great moving force which we can neither weigh in the balance nor test in the crucibIe - mysterious, indefinable, known only by its effects, faith pours out an unfailing stream of energy while abating neither jot nor tittle of its potence.” You can experience that driving force of faith when you apply these principles of spiritual assessment in your practice of healthcare, thereby allowing you to minister to your patients in ways you never imagined possible, while also increasing personal and professional satisfaction. One doctor recently shared with me, “Ministering in my practice has allowed God to bear fruit in and through me in new and wonderful ways. I can’t wait to see what He’s going to do in and through me each day. My practice and I have been transformed.”

Bacteria, viruses, cancer, parasites --  they pose an ever-present threat in our lives; so how does your body protect itself from threats from both the outside and the inside?The immune system. It’s like the police and armed forces of the body.It shields you from invading armies of the outside world (e.g. bacteria and viruses) and protects you when your internal cells go rogue (e.g. cancer). Like everything in the body, it must be kept in some form of balance. If it is weakened, we are obviously going to be more susceptible to various conditions and infections, but what happens when it betrays you? When the police are a bit too heavy-handed? When there is a communication breakdown in the body and we experience “friendly fire” from our armed forces that are supposed to protect us, not hurt us?Almost anything. Showing up as a diverse set of symptoms that vary from person to person and described under the umbrella of “autoimmune disease”, they are quite difficult to treat with an overly simple “take this for that” kind of medicine. This group of diseases, in particular, reminds us of the wisdom of Sir William Osler’s quote, “The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.”Join us on the front lines as Dr. Tanya Lee ND evens the battlefield on this sneaky set of diseases.NOTE: We had a lot of technical issues on this recording (resulting in us interrupting each other quite a lot!).

Bruce Fye  is an American retired cardiologist, medical historian, writer, bibliophile and philanthropist. He is emeritus professor of medicine and the history of medicine at the Mayo Clinic, and was the founding director of the institution's W. Bruce Fye Center for the History of Medicine, named by the Clinic in his honour as a result of his philanthropy. In addition to building up a large collection of books, offprints, and autographs relating to the history of cardiology, and to Sir William Osler during his lifetime, Fye has been a collector of prints and engravings relating to medicine and the portraits of physicians. In 2016, he donated many of his books to the Mayo Clinic. We met in Montreal, during an American Olser Society meeting, to discuss book collecting and Bruce's life as a book collector. 

Christopher Lyons, is the head librarian of rare books and special collections at McGill University's McLennan Library. He was formerly in charge of McGill's Osler Library which holds the collection of it's founder, Sir William Osler (1849–1919). A major figure in modern medical history, Osler is "well known as a scientific researcher, a great medical pedagogue, a humanist, and an advocate for a patient-centered approach to medicine." "Born in Ontario and educated at McGill University...where he taught from 1874 until 1884 before leaving to join the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, and then to become one of the “Big Four” founders of Johns Hopkins Hospital and medical school in Baltimore...he finished his career as Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford University, where he was also able to devote time to his passion for book collecting."  Chris and I met at his offices in Montreal to talk about Osler the medical book collector.

Listen to episode 397 of the Inspirational Living podcast: The Joy of Living Each Day to the Fullest. Edited and adapted from A Way of Life by Sir William Osler. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: I have told you that my success philosophy for life is to live for the day only, to disregard thoughts of the future and the past. But now let us speak of the day itself! What first? Be your own day-captain! and sigh not with Job for any mysterious intermediary. Prepare to lay your own firm hand upon the helm. Get into touch with the finite things of the day, and grasp in full enjoyment that sense of mastery in a machine working smoothly. Join the whole creation of animate things in a deep, heartfelt joy that you are alive, that you see the sun, that you are on this glorious earth which nature has made so beautiful, and which is yours to conquer and to enjoy. Realize, in the words of Browning, that "There’s a world of opportunity for joy spread round about us, meant for us, inviting us." What are your morning sensations — for remember that they control the day. Some of us are congenitally unhappy during the early hours; but the person who feels on awakening that life is a burden or a bore has been neglecting their machine, driving it too hard, stoking the engines too much, or not cleaning out the ashes and clinkers. Or they've been indulging too much in the ways of Bacchus.

Gordon MacGregor, a member of the Alternate Level of Care Patient and Caregiver Council, in an interview with Ross Upshur reflects upon his personal experience taking care of his wife in a span of nearly 30 years. His experience with the health system is what thousands of patients and family caregivers undergo on daily basis. The interview highlights both positive and not so positive aspects of care and the need to take care of the instances that patients might find rather inconvenient or challenging to overcome.  Mr. Gordon MacGregor has personal experience with ALC as a bereaved caregiver. His devotion to a life taking care of his wife struggling with a severe type of mental disorder throughout the years, as well as his experiences as an advisor for different hospital councils, makes his experience indispensable in helping us understand the caregiver experience. In his ‘‘Books and Men’’1, Sir William Osler (1849–1919) wrote that “ To study the phenomenon of disease without books is to sail an uncharted sea, while to study books without patients is not to go to sea at all. The same analogy could hold strong in patients and patient caregivers’ relation with the healthcare system and efforts to improve it. Gordon’s experience with the health care system is what Canadians might undergo at some point in their life when they seek professional help to regain their health. To make this experience positive for all of us at all times, stakeholders within and outside the healthcare system may take opportunities like this to examine the nature of patients and patient caregiver experience. References and footnotes: 1- "Books and Men" in Boston Medical and Surgical Journal (1901) 2- “Justice of the Peace”: This term is named a couple of times in the audio file and it refers to the body of law in Ontario that has the authority to override the decision of a patient with mental illness who refuses to receive medical care and might have the potential to be danger to self or others. In such circumstances, The Justice of Peace can issue a Form 1 which is taken to the police and they act upon it and take the ill person to the hospital. It does not get the patient admitted; that decision is made by the attending physicians in the hospital. 3- “Beyond the Cuckoo’s Nest” is the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health’s (CAMH) longest-standing educational outreach program to high school students and it aims to increase awareness among youth of the causes, treatments, signs, symptoms, and interventions for mental illness, including addiction.

Welcome to Cancer Stories. I'm Dr. Daniel Hayes. I'm a medical oncologist, and I'm a researcher at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center. And I'm also the past president of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Over the last and now the next several podcasts, I've been really privileged to be your host for a series of interviews with the people I feel are the founders of our field. Over the last 40 years, I personally have been fortunate to have been trained and mentored and I've also been inspired by many of these pioneers. And it's my hope that through these conversations. We'll all be equally inspired by gaining an appreciation of the courage and the vision and the scientific understanding and the anecdotes that let these men and women to establish the field of clinical cancer care over the last 70 years. By understanding how we got to the present and what we now consider normal in oncology, I think we can also imagine and work together towards a better future for our patients and their families during and after cancer treatment. Today, I'm really pleased to have my guests on this podcast Dr. Norman Wolmark, who was his mentor and longtime colleague, Dr. Bernard or Bernie Fisher, was responsible for the unbelievable success of one of the most influential cancer cooperative groups in the world, the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project, or the NSABP, which of course, in recent years has now been merged with two other corporate groups to become the NRG. Doctor Wolmark as a professor of surgery at Drexel served as the executive medical officer from 1979 to 1994 during Dr. Fischer's leadership of the NSABP. And then he became the chairman and PI of the group until 2004 when he assumed the same role with the merger into the NRG. The NSABP is generally credited with what is now called de-acceleration of therapy, in particular of local therapy of breast cancer by applying the scientific method to compare a modified radical mastectomy to radical mastectomies and subsequent breast conserving treatment a modified radical mastectomy, as well as testing the concept of sentinel node mapping, which we now use routinely. NSABP was also one of the pioneer groups to test the value of adjuvant systemic therapy. They started with adjuvant chemotherapy, comparing L-phenylalanine mustard, or L-PAM to nothing in the 1970s, and later, tamoxifen versus nil. Other successes of the NSABP include one of the first trials or adjuvant trastuzumab. And further, NSABP was the first to report the prognostic value of the genomic test to guide the use of adjuvant chemotherapy in ER-positive breast cancer. Incidentally, it also conducted the largest and the most definitive set of studies of chemo prevention, first with tamoxifen versus nil, and then later, comparing raloxifene to tamoxifen. Not just breast cancer-- in gastrointestinal malignancies, the NSABP made seminal observations regarding radiation for rectal cancer and adjuvant chemotherapy in colorectal cancers. Dr. Wolmark himself has published over 300 peer reviewed papers, numerous other commentaries and reviews, and frankly, I started to list your honors, Dr. Wolmark, but I ran out of space. You've just had too many to count here. I think it is safe to say that the reduction of both mortality and toxicities related to breast and GI cancers over the last four decades, coupled with improvement on how we treat people, is in large part due to the brilliance and the courage and the hard work of doctors Wolmark and Fisher. Most importantly, I think they showed so many of us the importance of challenging dogma, for example, how study and thinking in breast cancer and applying the scientific method to clinical research and practice. [GASPING] I have to take a deep breath, Norm. Welcome to our program, and thank you for joining us. Well, thank you, Dan. I think after that glowing and complimentary introduction, which was far too generous, probably the most strategically sound decision that I could make is to thank you and to terminate this discussion, because I don't think that I can possibly improve on it. But I don't suppose that that's the purpose of this endeavor here. Yeah, no. People aren't tuning in to hear me. They're tuning in to hear you. And this is hero worship on my part. I want to start out with your background. I know you grew up in Montreal. You graduated from undergraduate, medical school, and later, you did your surgical training at McGill. What were the circumstances that your family was in Canada? And what got you interested in medicine and, specifically, surgery? Well, that's an interesting question. I did not grow up longing to become a physician. As a matter of fact, my interests at McGill, certainly during undergraduate school, included biochemistry. And I was in the honors biochemistry program and was going to pursue a career in nucleic acid research. And at the last moment, I had a change of heart and decided to go into medicine at McGill. And McGill was not an embracing environment for surgeons. I think surgery, certainly in our era, was regarded as a sub-medical species. And it wasn't until my internship and early residency that I embraced the possibility of developing and evolving a career in surgery. Was that attitude out of also having been at McGill-- long before you were there, I know, but most places were dominated by the surgeons. And then medicine came along after that-- Mayo Clinic, for example. Do you know? Was this an outgrowth of Osler's influence? Well, I don't know that it was an outgrowth of Osler's influence, but it was certainly difficult for us to escape Sir William Osler. I think at the graduation after our second year, we were provided with a leather bound copy of Aequanimitas, which of course, nobody read, because medical students are not interested in the history of medicine. It was only years later that I read most of Osler's non-scientific works. That's interesting. So then you went to Pittsburgh to do your surgical residency and then two years at the NCI and a year at Memorial. But then, you returned to Pittsburgh. Why Pittsburgh in those days? Well, what drew me to Pittsburgh in 1973 was my interest in clinical trials. And in 1973, there was a lot of excitement going on in clinical trials and breast cancer directed by Bernie Fisher and the NSABP. So that was something that attracted me, that one could apply the scientific method to evolve therapy. And this was something that I desperately wanted to participate in as a result of my background in basic research and biochemistry. So tell us about the heady days in the early '70s and even further back, if you'll recount sort of Dr. Fisher's history as well, of starting the NSABP. What was his vision? What was his plan? Why did he do that? How did you get involved? The whole evolution of cooperative groups and in particular, the NSABP, was an outgrowth of the initiative of the National Institutes of Health and more specifically, I think, to Bernie Fisher's mentor, IS Ravdin, at Penn. And that led to the creation by the NIH of the Cancer Chemotherapy National Service Center. And this was started by three surgeons and Michael Shimkin at the NIH, who was a medical oncologist, or what was then called a chemotherapist. And from that grew a number of disease-oriented initiatives called the surgical adjuvant chemotherapy projects for specific diseases, breast being one of them. And this was 1957. And by 1958, the NSABP had randomized its first patient. And certainly, Bernie Fisher was amongst the founders of the NSABP and then, of course, became chairman of the group in 1967 and moved it to Pittsburgh in 1970. What did it take to get a bunch of surgeons to believe that more than just surgery was important? The group started in a modest fashion. There were 23 institutions. And I think it's certainly an enormous credit at Bernie Fisher for demonstrating that a cooperative group could indeed be cooperative, with multiple heterogeneous surgeons joining under the rubric of the NSABP to evolve the state of the art breast cancer and challenge existing dogma. One of my first meetings, Dr. Fisher and Dr. Irvin of New York City were in a debate that I thought was going to get into a fistfight, with Dr. Fisher trying to explain the systemic therapy of cancer and that it was more than just surgery, and Dr. Irvin believing if you did super-radical mastectomies, you could cure more. You must have been in the middle of some of those discussions as well. I was, and remember them, and remember the acrimony, the hostility that existed at that time. As a matter of fact, there were societies that were created to counter the influence of the NSABP. The retreat from radical mastectomy was highly contentious. And of course, the debate of the two mutually exclusive hypotheses was certainly extant in Halsted's era. But Bernie Fisher determined instead of debating the issue to test the two mutually exclusive hypotheses using the scientific method, namely the randomized prospective clinical trial, which convinced surgeons that variations on the theme of operative nuance were not going to increase survivorship, that breast cancer was a disease with systemic components at its initiation, and the retreat from a radical mastectomy and the ascent of systemic therapy are inextricably intertwined. And they are so largely because of the efforts of Bernie Fisher and the NSABP. This is an interview with you, except that you know Bernie Fisher better than any of us-- who, incidentally, turned 100 years old in August of this year. What were the driving forces for him to think this way? Do you know? Was there a sudden aha that systemic therapy ought to be as important as the surgery? I know he did some preclinical studies to suggest this. Can you give us more background of what he was thinking and how he got there? Well, when I first joined him in 1973, it was a unique environment. There was a continuum between the laboratory and the clinic. And hypotheses were generated in the lab from murine models and applied to clinical research, which we now call translational research. And certainly, I think he was influenced in many ways by the preclinical work that he did in murine models on metastases and multiple other observations to challenge the sanctity of the radical mastectomy, which was based on the belief that breast cancer was a local, regional disease and spread in a logical, predictable, stepwise manner, again, along fascial planes. This, of course, to scientists, was something that did not stand up to a solid review of the data. Through the years, I've picked up many pithy comments from Dr. Fisher. One of them is that-- what was it? In God we trust. And for everything else, we like data, which I always thought was a great statement, something to that effect. The other was, you may be logical, but breast cancer is not. That really has stuck with me through the years, which is, it doesn't follow a logical string of linear progression. But rather, it becomes systemic, or it doesn't, which I think changed the field. Well, Bernie always challenged existing dogma that was based on empiricism. I think Bernie taught us to challenge the individual who ascends to the professorial pulpit armed with a retrospective case series. And based on personal charisma or the institution that that individual represented, such an individual was able to influence the way a disease was treated for decades and then close to 3/4 of a century. Challenging that dogma, insisting that therapy be evolved based on data rather than retrospective case series, I think, is a lasting contribution. He blazed the trail for the rest of us. Since you were there for a lot of this, how about some of the other luminaries of the time? Dr. Crile had a lot to do with the early thoughts that maybe you didn't need to do mastectomy. Can you enlighten us on some of the other folks that were some of the early pioneers in the field? There were certainly proponents of lesser operative procedures starting with [INAUDIBLE] and in the UK, Vera Peters, in Canada, Barney Crile, or George Crile, Jr. at the Cleveland Clinic. But again, these were based on anecdotalism. There were very few randomized prospective trials challenging the sanctity of the radical mastectomy. There were some-- Sir Hedley Atkins, the Guy's Hospital trial comparing breast-preserving versus mastectomy, a trial that had few patients and was reported, I think, in 1971 was a case in point. And then Umberto Veronesi with the quadrantectomy study, which was reported in 1981, preceded B-06. But certainly, B-06 had an enormous impact in 1985. And I think to Bernie's credit, he was able to convince his colleagues, even his detractors and his coevals of the value of breast preservation. But more importantly, I think he was able to convince surgeons of the biologic behavior of breast cancer with its systemic components. Yeah, I agree. I remember that paper. Actually, I remember most your papers. B-04 for was the predecessor. And of course, if there is a Rosetta Stone for the NSABP, it was comparing radical mastectomy to total mastectomy, which was a heroic trial to have initiated in 1971. If there is a bellwether turning point, it was B-04. This was the trial that truly compared the two mutually exclusive hypotheses to enormous, enormous resistance by the surgical community. And the paradox was that the 23 institutions that participated in the NSABP were run by surgeons. I came into the field in 1982. I have seen maybe three radical mastectomies in my life based on the fact that B-04 was beginning to change that whole field. And the three or four patients I saw had horrendous qualities of life because of that radical mastectomy. So I think our listeners, the younger ones, need to understand how courageous this was. Let me ask another question. I don't think you were part of it then, but as Dr. Fisher began to, then, think about adjuvant chemotherapy, why L-PAM? Most of the people listening to this probably have never heard of L-PAM, let alone used it. Why was that chosen as the chemotherapy to use in the first trial? Well, that's an interesting question. CMF was being developed at the NCI-- Paul Carbone, Vince DeVita, George Canellos. And L-PAM was an oral agent. And we speculated, sotto voce, of course, Bernie and I, that the reason the NSABP got L-PAM was that it was oral and could be given by surgeons, whereas the CMF, which was more difficult to administer, went to Gianni Bonadonna, who reported on the CMF data in the adjuvant setting a year after the L-PAM data were reported in 1975. Ironically-- correct me if I'm wrong-- but I think the relative benefits of both were almost identical. And the reason L-PAM fell out of favor was the secondary leukemias. Is that your perception? Well, L-PAM fell out of favor, certainly. We did L-PAM, then L-PAM 5-FU, then L-PAM 5-FU plus doxorubicin in a stepwise, sequential manner. I think CMF was embraced. Had there been a direct comparison earlier on, perhaps L-PAM would have had a role. But I think it faded away. And it faded away for us largely because when we compared CMF to four cycles of AC, which could be given in a much shorter time, there was no difference. So AC became the standard, certainly for us. Moving on a bit, as I've already-- another of Dr. Fisher's statements that I've lived on is that the hallmark of a good clinical trial is that it raises more questions than it answers. I love that because it means you have to keep thinking. Can you give us examples how you and Dr. Fisher started designing the next trial as the first one was starting to finish, and how that led, one way to the other? I've always been struck by the fact that the NSABP has been more linear in its trial design than most of the other cooperative groups. Well, it was a continuum. The next trial was based on the results from the previous trial or the anticipated results from the previous trial. A case in point, B-04, total mastectomy, where lymph nodes are not fulgurated, left behind completely untreated, compared to radical mastectomy, where they were removed. 40%, it turned out, of the total mastectomy group had histologically positive nodes. And yet, the outcomes were the same, which supported the use of systemic therapy, that patients were failing not because inattention to operative detail, but because they had systemic metastases. Well, you can ask, how did you transpose this data or know about this data to start your next trial? Well, in that era, the results were available to us in real time. We had a magnetic board, for example, for B-04, where every patient that was entered into the study, of course, anonymized, was on that board, and we could see the treatment failures in real time. So we had a pretty good understanding of what the results were when B-06, for example, was started, and certainly when the L-PAM trial was initiated. To us, in that era, alpha-spending meant buying a suit at Bergdorf Goodman. It's only later that these restrictions, appropriately so, were initiated. So we were able to be very nimble in transposing the data from one trial to formulate the hypothesis for the next trial. And that led to, I think, a very elegant, sequential, logical, stepwise series of trials, which I think in this era, could not be conducted. Did you ever get concerned that you were jumping ahead to the next trial with insufficient follow-up with the last one, and you'd get ahead of yourself in terms of unexpected toxicity showing up or, for example, in the deacceleration of therapy, that in fact, you were wrong, and then you had a bunch of patients that you had given less than enough therapy? I can't think of the fact that you have. But was that a concern as you were designing these? Every clinical trial is a concern. And yes, there was a concern. But we believed that we were basing these trials on objective data, data that were generated through clinical trials and the scientific method. So let me ask another question, because I was never in the NSABP, but I was always struck by the fact that your statisticians sat at the table and thought as much about the biology as they did the p-values. Do you want to talk about some of the statisticians you've had the chance to work with? Absolutely. I think that's an accurate description. Carol Redmond was the first statistician with whom I came in contact and was an integral part of clinical trial development, discussing not only sample size, p-values, interim analyses, but also the biology of the disease and what the biologic end points were going to be, and what the ancillary end points ought to be, and calculate appropriate sample sizes to answer these questions. We were very fortunate to have outstanding biostatisticians who were giants. Sam Weiand, who followed Carol Redmond, who was at the University of Pittsburgh, went to the Mayo Clinic, and returned to us around 1994, '95, and John Bryant, who was absolutely instrumental in the joint analysis for the Herceptin trials, B-31 and N9831, who was a driving force, and was certainly a driving force behind the development of the Oncotype DX genomic profiling. These weren't simply numbers people. They were colleagues. They were part of the assault on the hill. I have to jump in for two reasons. One is I never worked directly with John Bryant, but I can't say how many times I called him and said, what do you think of this? because I knew he would understand the biology as well as the statistics. I miss him dearly. He sadly passed away about a decade ago. As do I. The other is, as you know, we lost Jim Holland this year. My first presentation at CALGB, Dr. Holland was sitting in the back of the room and yelled from the back of the room, because he never used a microphone, not unlike my colleague on the line right now, by the way. Dr. Holland yelled from the back of the room, Hayes, if you need a statistician, it's not worth doing. And I said, well with all due respect, Dr. Holland, and there's a lot of respect here, I have to disagree with you. Did Dr. Fisher get along with the statisticians the way you have? Did he feel that this was a two-way street? Or were there times he said, my way or the highway? There's always robust dialogue and discussion. I think that both Bernie and I embraced our statisticians as colleagues. I have to be very careful. This was not unwelcome embracing. But they were always an integral part of developing and analyzing the protocol. And they were colleagues. And certainly, Bernie had that approach and philosophy as well. So let me, perhaps, describe in 1973, when I first arrived, what struck me as extraordinary. There was passion, excitement, drama. We weren't sure where we were going. But we knew we were getting there fast. And we embraced the journey, the quest. And that was an extraordinary time where we knew that the standard of care was going to be changed. We couldn't predict the outcomes, but we knew that what we were doing at the time would have a lasting impact on the field. Actually, that was my question, which was, did you realize what you were doing in the late '60s and early '70s was as exciting as it was? Sometimes, I think we're in the middle of something, and we don't realize how it's going to turn out. And you've just answered my question, which was it must have been years-- It was challenging the basic sanctity of the dogma, the tyranny that existed at the time. And that, in itself, was a courageous and extraordinary thing to do. And I have to say because of that work, and others, but we've seen a remarkable reduction in mortality due to breast cancer over the last 30 years, probably by more than a third, not quite half. And it's because of these kinds of challenges of dogma and courage to move forward. So I think we all owe you and Dr. Fisher and those who were involved in the early days, then also in the other groups, just an enormous debt of gratitude. My final question to you, Norm, and everybody asks this where did you get your style of presentation? I've argued, although I know you're Jewish, you could have been a Baptist minister. Where did this come from? I have no idea. Everybody loves it. Well, that's certainly very gracious of you, Dan. I've certainly, in the era of protocol B-04 and B-06, I have been summarily booed by an audience in unison. So that may not be a uniform perception. Well, I hope that our listeners who are driving to work or having their morning cup of coffee and listening to this have enjoyed it. I certainly have. Thank you for being so gracious and taking the time to do this. Thank you for all your contributions to the field and for mentoring so many, including myself, frankly. And I consider you a great mentor and a great friend. So I appreciate it deeply. Thank you, Dan. It's been my privilege.

Thou must be like a promontory of the sea, against which, though the waves beat continually, yet it both itself stands, and about it are those swelling waves stilled and quieted.                                                                       Marcus Aurelius    In Latin “Aequanimitas” refers to a state of mind and soul­­­—a balanced state of peace, clarity, health, wisdom and insight.  William Osler is generally thought to be the Father of Modern medicine. In 1889, in a speech given to the graduating medical students at the University of Pennsylvania, where Osler had himself become a popular professor and well-known physician, Osler would use the phrase "Aequanimitas." In that speech Osler would introduce the term to describe two essential qualities of a successful physician. The speech “Aequanimitas” would later be memorialized when reprinted as an essay.  Osler would say that imperturbability (outward, steel-cold composure) and equanimity (inner calm, controlled emotion) are traits that the physician should try to develop, two essential traits that, in his words, “may make or mar our lives.” In this episode I read my edited version of the speech, the full version of which can easily be found online and was once required reading at some medical schools.

Professor David Cranston tells the story of William Osler's life and career. Sir William Osler was a Canadian physician and one of the four founding professors of Johns Hopkins Hospital. Osler created the first residency programme for specialty training of physicians, and he was the first to bring medical students out of the lecture hall for bedside clinical training. He has frequently been described as the "Father of Modern Medicine" and one of the "greatest diagnosticians ever to wield a stethoscope".

In this interview I discuss Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and Graves' Disease with Linda Lizotte. Linda: This Linda Lizotte, I'm the co-founder of Designs for Health, nutritionist and I'm happy to interview Dr. Nikolas Hedberg tonight. Let me tell you a little bit more about his background. Dr. Nikolas Hedberg, he's a D.C., D.A.B.C.I. He's a board certified chiropractic internist by the American Board of Chiropractic Internist. His practice is in Asheville, North Carolina where he focuses on autoimmune thyroiditis.   Dr. Hedberg is the author of the book 'The Complete Thyroid Health and Diet Guide' which is a comprehensive guide to diagnosing and treating thyroid disorders that's sitting right here next to me, it's fantastic. Dr. Hedberg lectures at integrative medicine conferences. Has been published in medical journals and teaches advanced functional medicine courses through Functional Medicine Town and as an adjunct faculty member at Hawthorn University. Health care practitioners of all disciplines consult with Dr. Hedberg on the most difficult cases, his practice philosophy can be summed by this quote by Sir William Osler, "It is much more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease than what sort of a disease that patient have." Wow, very good. Okay. Let's work to getting started. So thank you Dr. Hedberg. Dr. Hedberg: Thanks for having me again Linda. I really appreciate it. Linda: Again the book 'The Thyroid Alternative: Renew your Thyroid naturally' he's got some nice write ups in here by some doctors that we know. We have Dr. David Brady foreword. He's got a really nice write up by Dr. Daniel Taylor, chiropractor, he's been in clinical rounds. Dr. Ernest Colin and... who's a clinical director of Holistic Medical Clinic of Carolina. And Dr. Geoffrey Moss from Massachusetts that a lot of you know so well. So fantastic book. It's definitely... we're going to go through a lot of it, what's in there tonight. Obviously, we'll... the book is more patient friendly and I know that was difficult for Dr. Hedberg to do as it is for any of your practitioners to try to bring this to patients. That's where this book might be really useful to you because you're trying to explain the same stuff. So get the book and if it's something that you're trying to explain to your patients on a regular basis you can just hand it to them. You don't have to explain it all saying it a 100 times. Dr. Hedberg: Thank you. Linda: So, all right. So I know that that's why probably why you wrote the book Dr. Hedberg no? Dr. Hedberg: Yeah. There's some good thyroid books out there but I wanted to give a broad overall picture of functional medicine and all the on causes of thyroid disease because a lot of people seem... the feedback have gotten already is, they [inaudible 00:03:03], 'Wow, I never even knew that the adrenal is going to affect the thyroid and the Lyme disease can cause thyroid problems. So it's... I think to me a good job educating people about thyroid disorders. Linda: Yes. We're going to learn some new things and learn some things like you just mentioned that I wasn't really up on before so... I would love for you to start with some of the statics that you state in the book and just some great information about autoimmune thyroid disease. That probably would make a good start to all of this. Dr. Hedberg: Right. Now is the best time to be a functional medicine practitioner because autoimmune disease is on the rise. We're really the only ones who can identify why it's there and really get these patients under control and improve their quality of life. Autoimmune thyroid disease, it's the number one autoimmune disease in the United States. Actually about 10% of the US population has autoimmune thyroid disease. So if a huge number of people, almost one of every 10 people you brought into is going to have it. Twenty-seven million Americans, mostly women, about 50% of them will go undiagnosed.

Dr Bryant Boutwell, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston gives the 2014 McGovern Lecture at Green Templeton College This lecture will highlight the impact of Sir William Osler and Osler's American student, Wilburt Davison, who trained with Osler at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar and became the founding dean of Duke University School of Medicine where a young Jack McGovern came to train in the early 1940s. The influence of the Oxford-Osler-Davison connection changed McGovern's life with positive implications on medical education to this day. Eight years after his death, Dr McGovern continues to touch our medical community on a global scale as the author's stories of his life-and the back stories-will tell. This presentation provide the biographer's perspective of knowing McGovern and researching the stories of his life to produce his biography, John P McGovern, M.D.: A Lifetime of Stories, recently published in 2014. The book represents nearly four years of personal interviews with dozens of friends and colleagues along with a detailed review of his vast archives now located at the Texas Medical Center's Historical Research Center. Dr Boutwell has served the institutions of Houston's Texas Medical Center for nearly 40 years. He is the first holder of the John P McGovern Professorship in Oslerian Medicine at The University of Texas Medical School in Houston. In 2013 he was recognised as a Distinguished Teaching Professor by The University of Texas System. His biography of his friend and colleague, John P McGovern, was published in 2014 and will be the focus of this presentation.
