You know how most things your conventional doctor tells you are wrong? Well, the same applies to your vet!

Are you looking for natural flea and tick prevention for dogs without relying on toxic pesticides? In this episode of the Gubba Homestead Podcast, we break down the “terrain” approach to naturally repelling fleas and ticks by strengthening your dog from the inside out.Instead of focusing only on killing parasites, we dive into how a raw diet for dogs, immune health, skin barrier support, and environmental management can make your pet less attractive to fleas and ticks in the first place. You'll learn how to use garlic for dogs safely, why the fear around garlic is based on a high-dose extract study, and how small, thoughtful amounts may support natural deterrence.We also discuss how brewer's yeast may help repel fleas, how to properly garlic for flea control, and how to apply apple cider vinegar and coconut oil for dogs to support healthy skin and coat resilience.Finally, we take a clear look at conventional flea and tick medications, what their product inserts actually say, and why many of them are classified as pesticides. If you're concerned about systemic flea treatments, oral tick medications, or chemical spot-ons, this episode gives you a grounded, informed perspective on natural alternatives.If you're searching for:• Natural flea prevention for dogs• Natural tick repellent for pets• Raw feeding for parasite resistance• Garlic and brewer's yeast for fleas• Pesticide-free flea and tick controlThis episode walks you through it in detail.Build the terrain. Strengthen the host. Reduce chemical load. That's the Gubba Homestead way.Learn more about this episode at: Gubba Homestead PodcastNext Best Podcast Episode: Feeding Your Pets Raw Food

Warrior Woman — this is the start of a new era. If you've been lifting heavy, walking more, eating your protein, taking the creatine…  Tick. Tick. Tick.  And still wondering why your bod isn't changing — this episode is for you girl. In this first episode of 2026, I break down the five biggest observations I had from speaking to and coaching women inside Warrior School last year — and why most women aren't getting the results they want, even when they're “doing all the right things.” This is the beginning of what I'm calling The Relationship Era. Because checklists don't build bodies. Strategy does. Relationships do. In This Episode, We Cover: Why the “checklist era” of women's fitness is failing you The shift from outcome-obsession (fat loss, muscle gain) to system-based strategy Why fat loss and muscle gain are adaptations — not goals The 3 core systems that determine whether your body changes: Nervous System Metabolic System Mechanical System (your biomechanics & training practice) Why you're “doing everything right” but not seeing results The importance of knowing where you're actually at Why surrendering to the timeline might be the most powerful move you make in 2026 When to build slowly — and when to sprint 3 Core Systems That Determine Results If you want sustainable fat loss, muscle building, strong bones, and resilient hormones — you must strengthen: Your Nervous System (stress resilience, recovery capacity) Your Metabolic System (fuelling, energy availability, physiology) Your Mechanical System (training quality, biomechanics, progressive overload) Powerful Quotes From This Episode “Checklists don't build bodies. Strategies do.” “Fat loss and muscle gain are adaptations — not goals.” “If you're not getting the adaptation you want, you're not meeting the prerequisites.” “The right thing, the right way, at the right time — for you.” “Why is it not okay that this takes longer — if you're living your big, beautiful life?” What's Coming Next This episode kicks off a 6 part series diving deeper into: The difference between checklist thinking and strategic thinking How to assess your current training era Why your body isn't changing (even when you're consistent) When to sprint — and when to build slowly How to build a powerful relationship with your body

2022년 캠핑 중 사망한 제레미 웹의 사인이 4년 만에 '진드기(Tick) 매개 붉은 고기 알레르기'로 최종 확인되며 호주 사회에 충격을 주고 있습니다.

In this groundbreaking episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, we interview Dr. Jayakumar Rajadas, a Stanford Medicine researcher who has discovered multiple breakthrough therapeutic candidates for Lyme disease, Babesia, and Bartonella. His work includes the discovery of Disulfiram's effectiveness against Lyme and Babesia, Azlocillin's potent activity against Lyme and Bartonella, and advanced targeted drug-delivery systems designed to preserve the gut microbiome. Dr. Jay's research has been featured in TIME Magazine (Azlocillin) and Forbes (Disulfiram), and connects deeply with the work of leading Lyme researchers, including Dr. Monica Embers (Tulane), Dr. Kim Lewis (Northeastern), Dr. Kenneth Liegner, and Dr. Brian Fallon (Columbia University). This interview delivers hope, science, and unprecedented detail on what may become the next generation of Lyme disease treatments. Key Topics Covered 1. How the Stanford Tick Initiative Sparked a New Era of Drug Discovery In 2012, Stanford launched a major initiative in response to community demand for better Lyme treatments. Dr. Rajadas was selected to lead drug development, focusing specifically on persistent/chronic Lyme disease, where few researchers were working. 2. Understanding Borrelia: Active vs. Stationary Forms & Why Chronic Lyme Persists Dr. J explains the three key survival modes of Borrelia burgdorferi: Active Phase The bacteria are replicating and metabolically active. Easier to kill with standard antibiotics. Stationary Phase Bacteria reach population limits and slow down growth. Represents early persistence mechanisms. Persister Forms Triggered by stressors like antibiotics (e.g., doxycycline). Bacteria fold into round bodies, spiral forms, or compact “cement-like” protective balls. These forms: Shut down metabolic pathways Resist penetration Survive antibiotic exposure Why Doxycycline Can Fail Doxycycline can induce persisters, causing Borrelia to form impenetrable protective shells rather than die. This is why many patients initially feel better, then relapse. 3. Disulfiram (Antabuse): Lyme + Babesia Breakthrough Featured in Forbes One of the biggest scientific shocks of the last decade: Discovery Through Stanford's high-throughput screening of FDA-approved drugs, Disulfiram emerged as a top hit. Clears Borrelia (including persistent forms) Clears Babesia — a major advantage over standard antibiotics Does NOT harm the gut microbiome Is already FDA-approved and widely used for alcohol aversion therapy Highly potent but requires careful dosing due to side effects in inflamed patients. Why Some Patients Improve, and Others Suffer Chronic Lyme patients already have heightened inflammation. Disulfiram is a powerful molecule whose polymorphic forms behave differently in different people. His lab developed: Less toxic formulations Buccal & sublingual delivery systems Rectal delivery options These may reduce neuropsychiatric side effects reported by some patients. Clinical Connections Dr. Kenneth Liegner pioneered clinical use and published cases Dr. Brian Fallon conducted NIH-listed clinical trials. Many clinicians now use Liegner's protocols. Real-world example: Matt shares the story of Brooke Stoddard (Generation Lyme), who regained his life after Disulfiram treatment under Dr. Liegner. 4. Azlocillin: The Antibiotic That TIME Magazine Called a Gamechanger If Disulfiram is the Lyme and Babesia weapon, Azlocillin may be the frontline tool for Lyme and Bartonella. Why Azlocillin Is Revolutionary Eradicates both active and persister forms of Borrelia. Destroys doxycycline-induced “cement ball” persisters by drilling into their vulnerable cell-wall synthesis pathways. Proven effective against Bartonella when paired with azithromycin, based on research by Dr. Monica Embers (Tulane) . The Cell-Wall Vulnerability Breakthrough Persisters STILL must maintain minimal cell-wall synthesis to survive. Azlocillin exploits this tiny vulnerability: It penetrates the protective sphere Breaks the “cement wall” Forces the bacteria out of hibernation Kills them rapidly This discovery is one of the biggest scientific leaps in Lyme research in a decade. The Delivery System That Protects the Gut Microbiome Azlocillin is extremely hydrophilic, making absorption difficult.Dr. Jay fixed this by creating: A magnesium-lipid nanoparticle formulation Designed to release in the upper intestine Avoiding the colon (where most microbiome lives) This allows: High bloodstream absorption Minimal microbiome damage Oral availability of a drug previously only available via IV Why Azlocillin May Be Better Than Disulfiram Hits Borrelia + Bartonella Stronger anti-inflammatory effects No polymorphism issues Fewer side effects Potent against persisters A company is preparing to bring his oral formulation to clinical trials by next year. 5. Loratadine (Claritin): The First Clue from 2012 Before Disulfiram and Azlocillin, Dr. Jay's lab identified Loratadine (Claritin) as a manganese transporter inhibitor of Borrelia. Why it mattered: Borrelia uniquely relies on manganese, not iron. Blocking manganese uptake may weaken the bacteria. The discovery went viral, with many patients reporting improvement even at OTC doses—though the binding affinity was weak. This project introduced the concept of drug repurposing for Lyme to the scientific community. 6. Melittin (Bee Venom) — The Micro-Needle Patch Alternative Bee venom therapy is widely used in the Lyme community, but risks stings and allergic reactions. Dr. J is developing: Melittin micro-needle patches Delivering the active peptide without stinging Using dissolvable, painless needles A safe, controlled, pharmaceutical-grade delivery approach This could modernize bee venom therapy and make it more accessible. 7. Mechanism of Brain Fog & Fatigue in Lyme: A Major Breakthrough Dr. Jay's lab published a neuroscience paper demonstrating: Outer Surface Protein (Osp) Nanoparticles Borrelia sheds lipid-coated outer membrane particles. These form stable nano-vesicles that: Enter the bloodstream Cross into the brain Cause mitochondrial dysfunction Reduce ATP production Result: Brain Fog, Fatigue, Cognitive Dysfunction This explains why neurological Lyme can persist even after bacterial levels drop. This work ties strongly to ongoing research at Columbia University under Dr. Brian Fallon. 8. Collaborations With World Leaders in Lyme Research Dr. J's research intersects with: Dr. Kim Lewis (Northeastern University) Reproduced and validated Disulfiram findings publicly. Helped launch interest in persister-killing therapies. Dr. Monica Embers (Tulane University) Demonstrated Azlocillin + Azithromycin effectiveness against Bartonella. One of the world's foremost experts in persistent infection models. Dr. Kenneth Liegner Early clinical pioneer of Disulfiram therapy. Published stunning recovery cases. Dr. Brian A. Fallon (Columbia University) Leading psychiatrist specializing in post-treatment Lyme. Conducted planned Disulfiram clinical trials. These collaborations form a powerful network accelerating treatment development. 9. New Anti-Inflammatory Discoveries: Galangin & More Dr. Jay recently co-authored a 2025 paper on: Galangin (Thai ginger rhizome extract) Which may reverse cardiac inflammation and fibrosis His team is also exploring other nutraceutical molecules for chronic inflammation relief in Lyme patients. 10. Dr. Jay's Personal Story of Illness and Hope He reveals for the first time: He was diagnosed with Stage 3 Multiple Myeloma Lost the ability to walk Suffered unbearable pain After cutting-edge therapies and research, he is now in full remission His message to Lyme patients: “There is ALWAYS hope.”

Alpha-gal syndrome, a serious allergic reaction linked to Lone Star tick bites, is driving new action in Illinois. State Representative Dan Swanson is backing legislation that would require the Department of Public Health to track cases of this meat and dairy allergy. If passed, medical providers will be required to report alpha-gal cases, giving officials a clearer picture of the syndrome's spread. Swanson emphasizes that cases are on the rise, and his focus is on raising awareness about AGS symptoms and potential dangers. The legislation aims to inform residents and better equip the state to address this emerging health threat.

Dr. Bobbi S. Pritt joins Tick Boot Camp Podcast for a scientific deep dive into Lyme disease diagnostics, co-infections, and emerging tick-borne pathogens. Dr. Pritt is Professor and Chair of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at Mayo Clinic and Director of the Clinical Parasitology Laboratory in Rochester, Minnesota. An internationally recognized expert in vector-borne diseases, she is globally known for discovering new tick-borne pathogens—including Borrelia mayonii and Ehrlichia muris eauclairensis—and for advancing cutting-edge molecular and metagenomic diagnostic testing used nationwide. This episode offers essential clarity for anyone navigating Lyme disease, unexplained symptoms, or confusing test results. Dr. Pritt explains why standard tests often miss early Lyme, how PCR and molecular tools can detect active infection, and what metagenomic sequencing may offer for more accurate and comprehensive diagnostics in the future. Episode Summary Dr. Pritt breaks down how Lyme and other tick-borne diseases are detected through antibody testing, PCR, tissue analysis, and cutting-edge molecular methods. She explains how her lab discovered multiple new pathogens in the upper Midwest, the role of tick species in disease transmission, and why co-infections complicate diagnosis. This conversation also explores geographic spread, climate change, tick behavior, and the strengths and limitations of today's test algorithms. Key Topics • Discovery of Borrelia mayonii as a second cause of Lyme disease in the U.S. • Identification and characterization of Ehrlichia muris eauclairensis • Geographic hotspots and why the upper Midwest produces unique pathogens • Tick species differences: blacklegged vs. lone star ticks and their hunting strategies • Co-feeding in ticks and its role in pathogen evolution • Why early Lyme tests often return false-negative results • The science behind false positives and cross-reactivity • PCR advantages and limitations for detecting Borrelia • When skin biopsies can outperform blood tests • Differentiating Lyme, B. miyamotoi, Anaplasma, Babesia, and Powassan virus • When clinicians should order a full tick-borne disease panel • How climate and ecological changes drive new tick-borne threats • The promise of metagenomics and immune-signature diagnostics What You'll Learn • Why current Lyme testing algorithms struggle in early infection • How new tick-borne pathogens are discovered and validated • Why lone star ticks are more aggressive and changing regional risk • When and why molecular testing is more effective • What symptoms point to co-infections needing additional testing • Why doxycycline is not effective for certain pathogens like Babesia • How metagenomic sequencing could identify every pathogen in a single sample • Where diagnostic innovation is heading and what patients can expect

Tick tock, it's bird-o-clock. This episode, "Pandora's Squawks", is actually barely about videogames at all. Instead, I reveal dangerous knowledge about soundscapes, but hand in hand with danger comes power. And it all starts with that one time I heard a bird during Star Trek. This is the kind of show you can listen to out of order, especially this episode, but I'd recommend listening to the first episode at some point. It explains why this podcast exists, and was a lot of fun to make.

In this deeply meaningful and soul-stirring episode, I am joined by the extraordinary Dr. Edward Tick, psychotherapist, healer, author, and international pilgrimage guide whose life's work bridges psychology, spirituality, and sacred travel.Dr. Tick has spent decades helping individuals heal emotional and spiritual wounds through therapeutic work, sacred journeys, and immersion in ancient landscapes rich with meaning. His unique approach combines psychotherapy with myth, ritual, and the healing power of place.A pivotal moment in his own journey began in 1984, when he travelled to Greece on his honeymoon. That journey sparked a lifelong connection to the sacred energy of Greece, particularly its ancient temples, mythological sites, and healing traditions. From that moment, Greece became not just a destination, but a spiritual home and foundation for his work.Over the years, Dr. Tick has led transformative healing pilgrimages to Greece and Vietnam, guiding participants through experiences designed to foster deep personal insight, emotional healing, and reconnection with purpose. These journeys are not traditional tours; they are immersive pathways into myth, memory, and meaning.He is the author of several influential books exploring the intersection of psychology, spirituality, and sacred travel, including Passage to Poros and works that examine the profound healing power of immersing oneself in sacred places and ancient wisdom traditions.In this conversation, we explore:How travel can become a path to healing and transformationThe therapeutic power of sacred landscapesWhy Greece continues to be a global centre for spiritual renewalThe role of pilgrimage in modern lifeHealing journeys for veterans and individuals seeking deeper purposeHow myth, ritual, and storytelling help us understand our own life journeysDr. Tick's insights are thoughtful, profound, and deeply inspiring. This episode invites us to reconsider travel not simply as movement across the world, but as a journey into ourselves.If you have ever felt called to visit places with ancient soul and meaning, or if you believe that travel can heal, transform, and awaken, this conversation will resonate deeply.About Dr. Edward TickPsychotherapist, healer, international pilgrimage guide, and author, Dr. Edward Tick has devoted his life to helping people find healing through sacred travel, storytelling, and spiritual exploration. His work continues to guide individuals from around the world on journeys of renewal in Greece, Vietnam, and beyond.Listen, reflect, and journey with usBecause sometimes the most memorable journeys are not only across the world —but into the soul.

Allergies are more than just springtime sniffles—and they're affecting more people than ever. In this episode, Dr. Anthony Youn sits down with pediatric allergist and immunologist Dr. Zachary Rubin, author of All About Allergies, to break down what's really going on in your immune system and what actually helps. You'll learn why hay fever is getting worse (and why climate change plays a role), the “3 pillars” approach to treating allergic rhinitis, when allergy shots make sense, and why blanket food allergy testing can do more harm than good. Plus, Dr. Rubin unpacks surprising—and very real—conditions like alpha-gal syndrome (a tick bite that can trigger a red meat allergy), aquagenic urticaria (hives from water), and why so many people mistakenly think they're allergic to penicillin. Practical, evidence-based, and packed with takeaways you can use right away—especially if allergies are disrupting your life or your family's.

This week we're sitting down with Dr. Pete to talk about something that affects almost every dog owner: Ticks and Heartworm. This may not become a large part of your dogs life if you follow your veterinarian's advice about treating for these two things. If you don't, your dog could be at risk of some major issues should they run into developments from these two things. Do you know how ticks become carriers of Lyme? Have you considered your dog's risk of heartworm? WE talk about it all on this podcast and some of it may surprise you. This information is helpful for all dog owners and especially those who spend significant time outdoors! Thanks so much for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!

Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the biggest news affecting family farmers, starting with tax deductions farmers can use before filing. There are ways of deducting land, and how much depending on renting vs ownership and if you live on the land or not. If you're a livestock producer, feed is a sizable write off and crop farmers can write off seeds and seedlings. Equipment repairs and depreciation can also be deductibles, along with fencing and whatever other farming equipment you have. Then, focus shifts to the Asian Longhorn Tick, a major threat to U.S. farmers because it reproduces rapidly without mating, forming massive infestations that cause severe stress, blood loss, and death in livestock. Lastly, Doug addresses the California push to save the wolves, but the success has caused chaos for farmers and ranchers in Northern California. The return of gray wolves to California after a century-long absence has brought serious challenges. While many—especially in urban areas—celebrated the wolves' comeback as a conservation win, the growing population, now estimated at roughly 50 to 70 animals, has led to increasing and sometimes devastating livestock losses that threaten ranchers' livelihoods.Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Japan just sent a message the West has forgotten how to send. Enforce the law, defend the nation, and protect the culture. As Japanese police detain and deport foreign agitators after a historic right-wing election, global elites push something far darker. From engineered meat allergies via ticks to American politicians openly cheering chaos and intimidation. This episode connects the dots between biological control and border control, and why nationalism is roaring back across the world.

A man becomes convinced that time itself is counting him down, and every decision suddenly feels fatal. When certainty collides with control, survival may depend on breaking the patterns that once defined a life. The Big Tick by Ross Rocklynne. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Ross Rocklynne wrote one of my all-time favorite “wait…how has no one told me about this?” stories, Chicken Farm. Today he drops back into the podcast with another gem, originally unleashed in the very first issue of Cosmos Science Fiction and Fantasy Magazine in September 1953. The magazine survived exactly three more issues before doing the most on-brand thing possible—disappearing into the cosmos and never coming back.From the debut issue of Cosmos on page 121, The Big Tick by Ross Rocklynne…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A lone envoy risks everything to stop a quiet expansion that could ignite a catastrophic war.

Mike Schrand has spent more than 30 years at St. Louis Public Radio — and his story is a masterclass in curiosity, creativity, and community. In this episode of Mostly Superheroes, Mike joins Logan Janis for a wide-ranging conversation that moves from overnight jazz shifts and Morning Edition to songwriting, cult movies, and why St. Louis is “the world's largest small town.” We talk about the evolution of public radio, nonprofit journalism, and why live, local storytelling still matters in an on-demand world. Mike also opens up about his life as a musician — including his solo albums Late Bloomer and Things Have Changed — plus the role art plays in identity, family, and aging creatively. Along the way, we dig into movie history filmed right here in St. Louis (Escape from New York), James Gunn stories, NPR programming, and what it really means to serve a community through sound.

In today's deep dive, an allergy to red meat spread by tick bites affects nearly half a million Americans.

This episode explores Alpha-gal syndrome, a tick-associated allergy that causes delayed reactions to mammalian products and is often missed in clinical settings. The conversation with Jeffery Strickler, DHA, RN highlights how Alpha-gal differs from other tick-borne illnesses, the wide range of symptoms nurses may see, and why delayed nighttime reactions are a major clue. The episode also covers hidden risks in medications and medical products and emphasizes the critical role nurses play in recognition, patient education, and safety.   Explore related articles for more information: "Tick-borne diseases in the US" in the July 2024 issue of Nursing and "Mammalian meat allergy: Unexpected danger" in the August 2017 issue of Nursing.   Transcript

In this month's episode, the crew sheds new light on tick-borne disease transmission, we discuss how microwaving  pests may be the cool new pest control hack (or maybe not), and we cover new data on what skin emissions make us more or less attractive to malaria-transmitting mosquitoes.

On today's Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), covers the the biggest news in the health and wellness space from a holistic, naturopath perspective. In this episode, Dr. Jack dives into Lyme disease and why some of his patients get diagnosed with Lyme because of blood tests, without having all the symptoms or even spending any amount of time camping outdoors or dealing with any noticeable tick bites. So, what gives? Dr. Jack breaks down the alleged pathogen involve. Lyme disease is thought from a tick, that the tick bites you and its Lyme disease containing saliva goes into your blood. Dr. Jack continues with a study that 2 of 36 patients with the symptoms and suspicions of Lyme disease had these spirochetes in their blood stream. Only two. So why did the other 34 believe they had Lyme?Then, Doug joins Dr. Jack to answer listener questions, starting with the importance of vitamin K.

In this powerful episode, Tick Boot Camp Podcast interviews Dr. Karolina Praskeviciute (“Dr. Pras”), a multilingual, European-trained medical doctor who has lived in Lithuania, Hong Kong, London, and the United States, traveled to 89 countries, and now uses her global experience to understand chronic illness from a unique vantage point. Dr. Pras shares her deeply personal story of lifelong unexplained symptoms, childhood mold exposure, a bull's-eye rash at age 15, and a medical system unequipped to recognize chronic tick-borne illness. After a devastating case of early COVID-19 in February 2020, her immune system collapsed, triggering full-blown Lyme disease, Babesia, Bartonella, tick-borne relapsing fever, MCAS, and Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). This conversation bridges both sides of medicine—Western and functional—and explores how chronic illness forced Dr. Pras to reevaluate everything she learned as a third-generation physician. She now brings a rare, dual perspective as both clinician and patient. Key Topics Covered ➤ Growing up in Lithuania: culture, safety, freedom & early mold exposure She describes an independent childhood surrounded by nature—but also living in a poorly insulated home with significant hidden mold that triggered early allergies, stomach pain, nosebleeds, and metallic taste. ➤ Medical school awakening: Why Western medicine failed her symptoms Despite coming from a family of doctors, she noticed early on that conventional medicine couldn't explain many of her symptoms—and she witnessed firsthand how chronic illness is minimized, dismissed, or mislabeled. ➤ The first tick bite at 15 & the bull's-eye rash ignored by doctors Despite developing textbook erythema migrans, pediatricians refused treatment. Her mother initiated a short doxycycline course on her own—far too short to prevent chronic Lyme. ➤ Traveling the world & accumulating exposures After living and working across continents, she now believes different strains, microbes, and environmental factors layered into the perfect storm. ➤ Long COVID as the breaking point Like many chronically ill patients, COVID destabilized everything: massive immune dysregulation nonstop inflammation MCAS flares worsening neurological symptoms Lyme and Babesia fully activating ➤ Mold + Lyme + Long COVID = The Perfect Storm Her CIRS diagnosis revealed why she never recovered even after leaving mold exposure—and why immune dysfunction made Lyme treatment far more complex. ➤ Her diagnostic breakthrough with IGeneX After repeated false-negative Western blots, specialty testing finally uncovered: Lyme Babesia Bartonella Tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF) Immune activation on FISH testing ➤ Treatment: Herbs, LymeStop, detox, keto, and functional medicine Her current regimen includes: Houttuynia (major reduction in joint pain within 1 week) Cryptolepis (powerful antimicrobial requiring slow titration) Custom herbal protocols (single-herb tinctures) HBOT INUSpheresis Light sauna Gentle lymphatic drainage Vagus nerve support Journaling & limbic system retraining Strict ketogenic diet after a 7-day fast dramatically reduced inflammation She also discusses the risks of Botox, fillers, tattoos, and skincare toxins for chronically ill patients. ➤ Nervous system healing as the foundation of recovery She explains why vagus nerve work and limbic retraining may fail if patients are still in toxin exposure (like mold or endotoxins)—a vital distinction rarely discussed. ➤ Becoming a doctor who understands chronic illness from both sides This episode explores: medical defensiveness gaslighting vs unhealthy doctor-patient dynamics why patients must be empowered, not dismissed why doctors also need compassion and realistic expectations how her future clinical practice will integrate empathy, functional medicine, and lived experience Top Quotes From Dr. Pras “I dismissed my own symptoms because I was trained to believe nothing was wrong unless labs proved it.” “Mold was the silent force that weakened my system long before Lyme took over.” “Healing is not linear. Some days it feels like I'm starting over, but I always come back stronger.” “Doctors have tools—but without a healthy doctor-patient relationship, those tools don't work.” “I can help others now because I know when to push and when to pull back. Lived experience matters.” Where to Find Dr. Karolina Pras Instagram: @drkaromd Email: drkaro@healthkonsultant.com (“consultant” spelled with a K)

Tick-borne diseases continue to expand across North America, but diagnosing them in the clinical laboratory remains complex—especially when timing between symptom onset and testing isn't considered. In this episode of Let's Talk Micro, Luis is joined by Kyle Rodino, Assistant Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and Assistant Director of Microbiology, for a lab-focused discussion on tick-borne disease diagnostics. They cover major bacterial, parasitic, and viral causes of tick-borne disease, and walk through how molecular testing, serology, and microscopy are used at different stages of illness. The conversation highlights why test selection and timing matter, common diagnostic challenges—particularly with Babesia and Lyme disease testing—and how laboratories can support better diagnostic decision-making. A practical episode for microbiologists, laboratorians, and clinicians navigating real-world testing challenges in the lab.   Additional resources: Update on North American tick-borne diseases and how to diagnose them https://doi.org/10.1128/jcm.00807-23   Stay connected with Let's Talk Micro: Website: letstalkmicro.com Questions or feedback?

In this Special Brief edition of The Wright Report, Bryan answers listener questions on ICE training standards, self-deportation incentives, birthright citizenship abuses, and the massive fraud cases unfolding in Minnesota and beyond. He explains why claims that ICE officers are poorly trained are misleading, breaks down the cost-benefit math behind paying illegal aliens to self-deport, and exposes how birth tourism has allowed foreign nationals to exploit American citizenship and voting rights. Bryan also offers a candid assessment of why arrests in Minnesota are slow, pointing to internal resistance within the DOJ and FBI, and urges patience as federal authorities work through what he calls industrial-scale corruption. The episode then turns global, with Bryan unpacking the emerging U.S.-Greenland framework, critiquing Europe's political, cultural, and energy weakness, and offering rare insight into how President Trump thinks and negotiates. Drawing a historical parallel to President James Polk, Bryan explains why Trump's aggressive style may be deliberate and effective, even when it unsettles allies.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: January 22 2026 Wright Report, ICE training facts DHS, self-deportation incentive cost savings, birthright citizenship birth tourism China, Minnesota fraud DOJ FBI resistance, Pam Bondi Kash Patel investigations, Greenland U.S. military framework, Europe energy weakness NATO critique, Trump leadership style James Polk, Peace Board Davos reactions

In this episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, Dr. Eric D. Gordon — globally recognized expert in Lyme disease, ME/CFS, mold toxicity, MCAS, mitochondrial dysfunction, and complex chronic illness — explains why chronic illness is never caused by a single factor and why recovery requires a strategic “order of operations.” Recorded after meeting at Project Lab Coat during NYFW, this conversation dives into chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, why some people stay sick for years, why certain treatments backfire, how metabolomics reveals dysfunction that standard tests miss, and the future of individualized chronic illness care. Guest Bio Medical Director, Gordon Medical Associates, and President, Gordon Medical Research Center Dr. Gordon has 45+ years of experience treating the most complex chronic illness cases. He specializes in: Lyme disease and tick-borne infections ME/CFS and post-infectious illness Mold and mycotoxin exposure Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) Autoimmune disease Environmental illness Mitochondrial dysfunction and metabolic collapse He co-authored the landmark 2016 PNAS metabolomics study with Dr. Robert Naviaux, which reshaped global understanding of ME/CFS and chronic inflammatory diseases. Key Topics Covered How Dr. Gordon became one of the world's leading chronic illness clinicians Why patient belief and validation are foundational to healing Why chronic illness cases don't fit conventional medical models Why herbs often worsen symptoms in MCAS or inflamed patients When pharmaceuticals help stabilize sensitive patients How chronic inflammation blocks trace mineral absorption The link between minerals, B vitamins, mitochondria, and NAD/NADH When detoxification helps — and when it causes more harm How childhood infections and environment shape lifelong immunity The massive impact of modern microbiome disruption Mold illness as the “great derailer” of Lyme treatment Why genetics like MTHFR and HLA are not destiny Why some people heal from Lyme without treatment How metabolomics and AI will usher in precision medicine What actually keeps people sick — accumulated compensations, not the tick bite What intuitive patients get right (and wrong) about their symptoms Timestamps 0:02 – Meeting Dr. Gordon at Project Labcoat 1:08 – Who he is and how he entered complex illness medicine 2:30 – Realizing conventional medicine fails chronic patients 5:45 – Why chronic illness doesn't fit standard algorithms 8:10 – Herbs vs antibiotics: what most people misunderstand 11:28 – Inflammation and why sensitive patients react to everything 13:45 – MCAS and immune overactivation 16:25 – Why herbal formulas can trigger flares 19:30 – Pharmaceuticals that calm inflammation 20:50 – Trace minerals, mitochondrial function, and NAD pathways 23:55 – Why standard labs can't see cellular dysfunction 26:10 – How childhood immune experiences shape resilience 28:40 – Environmental changes and microbiome decline 30:30 – Shoes, posture, fascia, lymphatics 36:35 – Structural healing and hypersensitive patients 41:20 – Founding Gordon Medical Associates 43:00 – Early discoveries with Lyme disease patients 48:30 – Detoxification, herbal protocols, and mold models 52:10 – Mold's ability to halt all progress 55:30 – Why mold affects some family members and not others 57:20 – How food supply antibiotics disrupt immunity 59:50 – Genetics are possibilities, not fate 1:03:20 – Why some people recover after a tick bite and others don't 1:07:00 – How AI and metabolomics will transform treatment 1:10:40 – Genes vs environment 1:13:30 – Chronic illness requires many small steps 1:16:00 – How to work with Dr. Gordon 1:18:30 – Final message of hope Pull Quotes “Chronic illness is not caused by one thing — and it's never healed by one thing.” “Herbs depend on your body's ability to modulate inflammation.

Luke and Andrew finally speak up about the TV show Get Smart and its infamous "cone of silence." They also take a look back at some of the most interesting vocabulary words they apparently used in the past year, according to listener Kristen, who's been keeping notes. 

A healthy 47-year-old man from New Jersey suddenly died after delayed allergic reactions to red meat; it was later confirmed to be caused by alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), marking the first documented fatality linked to tick-driven mammalian meat allergy His symptoms began hours after eating beef following a recent camping trip, during which he sustained 12 to 13 suspected lone star tick bites — exposure to this tick is now known to trigger the immune sensitization that leads to AGS AGS occurs when the lone star tick introduces the alpha-gal sugar molecule into the bloodstream, causing the body to form antibodies and react severely, sometimes fatally, upon future consumption of mammalian meat or byproducts Cases of AGS are rising explosively across the United States, with documented diagnoses climbing from 12 in 2009 to more than 110,000 by 2022; estimates suggest over 450,000 Americans may be affected Experts warn that expanding tick ranges, misdiagnoses, and lack of awareness among healthcare providers are fueling this hidden public health threat, emphasizing the urgent need for preventive tick-bite strategies and proper tick removal techniques
