Her research has been profiled by international news outlets including The Washington Post, The Guardian, and The Sydney Morning Herald. She is coauthor of The Nocebo Effect: When Words Make You Sick. In this episode, we focus on The Nocebo Effect. We start by talking about the placebo effect and the nocebo effect. We discuss how the nocebo effect is produced psychologically, whether it is “all in the head”, how it is produced in a clinical context, how to distinguish between “real” side effects of treatments and nocebo effects, and whether words can produce harm. We also discuss whether psychotherapy is mostly placebo. Finally, we talk about the side effects and nocebo effects of the COVID-19 vaccine, nocebo effects in public health and medical ethics, and how to reduce the nocebo effect.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

In the 1920's and 30s, shark attacks off the coast of New South Wales, Australia were not an especially uncommon event. In 1935, however, Sydney's peaceful coastal charm was shattered by a grotesque discovery at the Coogee Aquarium that was anything but normal. A captured tiger shark, put on public display, vomited up a human arm—severed, tattooed, and unmistakably out of place. What began as a curiosity quickly spiraled into a chilling murder mystery involving gangsters, betrayal, and a body that was never found. SOURCES Roope, Phillip & Meagher, Kevin (2020) Shark Arm.

A few years ago, Australia earned the unenviable title of allergy capital of the world. This could well have been true, with a World Allergy Organisation review finding Australia had the highest rate of food allergies for children under five. But since then, something happened to turn allergy advice on its head, and parents have been introducing allergens to children at a far younger age than they used to. So, where are we at now? Explainer reporter Jackson Graham is here with us today to discuss whether the new strategy has worked.

This week on Motive and Method, we dissect the mind of David Prince-Popovich, aka ‘The Playboy Swindler’. From bogus bank transfers to private jets, even duping a former Premier, his scams were as elaborate as they were audacious. Sydney Morning Herald crime reporter Clare Sibthorpe joins Xanthe and Tim to explore how one man built a life of lies - and why so many believed him.

Season 6 Episode 3 returns with a Special Sponsor episode to align with The Medical Benevolent Association of NSW-ACT's May appeal. I'm delighted to have the opportunity to sit down with  GP, writer and author Dr Sonia Henry.Dr Henry is also a councillor for the MBA NSW-ACT. She has been published in The Australian, RM Williams Magazine, The Sydney Morning Herald, Kevin MD, Australian Medical Students Association Magazine, The ANZ Journal of Surgery and on a variety of other platforms. Her most widely read article was an anonymous piece, 'There is something rotten inside the medical profession', which detailed the stress of medical training and was shared more than 22,000 times and re-published widely around the world. This article led to the start of a conversation that her novel Going Under seeks to continue. Her debut novel Going Under, a fictionalised account of her internship, was an Australian best seller. She is passionate about First Nations health and improving health equity to people who live in regional and remote parts of the country. She spends part of the year living and working as a GP in remote Australia and this inspired her second book and memoir, Put Your Feet in the Dirt, Girl.       In this conversation we discuss Sonia's passion for writing which pre-dated her physiotherapy and  medical careers and learn more about her motivations to write, writing process and hopes for her words. Sonia tells me more how she became involved with the Medical Benevolent association as a councillor and her work to support doctors' health and wellbeing and wider advocacy for needed healthcare system and cultural reform. You can find our more about the Medical Benevolent Association NSW-ACT and/or donate the current appeal here:   https://www.mbansw.org.au/donationsThank you Sonia, I can't wait for book 3!Links/References:https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/book/Sonia-Henry-Put-Your-Feet-in-the-Dirt,-Girl-9781761068072/https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/book/Sonia-Henry-Going-Under-9781760878641 https://kevinmd.com/2017/01/something-rotten-inside-medical-profession.htmlThis conversation again covers topics including doctor suicide and barriers to accessing mental health support.

On December 5, 2020, Sydney Morning Herald reporter Kate Mclymont pulled back the curtain on Melissa Caddick and alerted her investors to just how significant Melissa's scams were. Authorities were tasked with recovering the money Melissa had stolen from her clients. As the mystery of the missing millions grew larger, angry investors wanted answers. Authorities quickly turned their attention to Melissa's husband, Anthony Koletti, whose bizarre behavior became almost as big as the news of Melissa's long-standing scams. His behavior in the following weeks would grow even weirder as he began blaming everyone but himself for his new, more humble lifestyle. Experts weigh in on the mystery of Melissa Caddick.

In Sydney you'll often see practitioners demonstrating by Town Hall with flyers sharing stories of organ harvesting of wrongfully imprisoned members. But former devotees have come forward with stories of coercion and abuse, alleging that in one thing the CCP is correct: Falun Gong is a socially harmful cult.Full research sources listed here.Links:“I am the only one propagating true Dharma”: Li Hongzhi's Self-Presentation as Buddha and Greater — by James R.
