We really don't give fungi the credit they deserve. Over the years of this podcast, we've covered only a handful of fungal pathogens, and pathogenic fungi themselves represent a teeny tiny proportion of the incredible diversity of fungal life on this planet. But with this book club episode, we're attempting to correct this oversight, at least a little bit. Toxicologist and science writer Dr. Emily Monosson joins us to discuss her book Blight: Fungi and the Coming Pandemic. We chat about how fungal epidemics have shaped entire ecosystems, altered economies, and invaded hospitals. Despite the devastating impact pathogenic fungi have made, we still underappreciate their potential to cause harm in the future, as our climate changes, as our land use changes, and as globalization continues. In Blight, Monosson delivers an important reminder that we should use what we have learned about these historical outbreaks to limit the harm fungi may cause in the future. Tune in today to gain a new appreciation for this incredible group of organisms.

When discussing methylene blue, management and treatment of methaemoglobinaemia is usually the first indication mentioned. But in this podcast, we challenge you to increase the size of your lense and focus on its benefits in other states (e.g., septic shock). Of course, we could not do this alone, so we invited a Flight Paramedic, Pharmacist, Toxicologist, and Professor to join us. And fortunately for us, they are all the same person. Tune in as Will Heuser helps us discuss the pathophysiology of distributive shock, the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of methylene blue related to its effects on endothelial relaxation, and how this simple dye goes beyond that of salvage therapy when a patient has high vasopressor requirements.

We discussed the dangers of artificial sweeteners with Janet Starr Hull, PHD who is an educator, author, counselor, blogger, and motivator. She was previously an OSHA Environmental Hazardous Waste Emergency Response Specialist and Toxicologist, a firefighter, and an environmental science professor at The University of North Texas. In 1991, she was miss-diagnosed with Grave's disease but no one knew the cause or why she was dying. Because of her engineering background, she discovered that aspartame (NutraSweet/Equal®) caused her illness! Knowing the CAUSE, she was able to cure herself naturally in a matter of months. Janet wrote Sweet Poison: How the World's Most Popular Artificial Sweetener Is Killing—Us My Story in hopes of alerting others to the danger of the chemical sweetener. We also discussed her other book, Splenda® Is It Safe Or Not? (on her website, you can get a Free copy of her Detox Program).

Over the past few years, the health and wellness space has been flooded with the concept of the "gut microbiome," or the ecosystem of microorganisms in our stomachs. Probiotics, which have become prominent on social media, are said to strengthen this bacterial community and can result in benefits like improved nutrient absorption, skin inflammation, and even mental acuity. However, this connection of the gut to the mental sphere has actually been shown in research as the "gut-brain axis" (GBA). In fact, according to a 2015 journal from the Annals of Gastroenterology, a bidirectional relationship between our gut and our brain has been shown to influence our responses to anxiety, stress, and even functions of memory through interactions with the central nervous system.We are joined today by behavioral neuroscientist, toxicologist, neuropharmacologist, and international fashion model Dr. Aya Osman. She received her BSc in Biomedical Sciences with Honors from the University of London, MSc in Toxicology focusing on the role of adenosine and glutamate receptors in cocaine addiction from the University of Surrey, and PhD in Toxicology and Neuropharmacology from the University of Surrey, where she investigated the development of brain opioid and oxytocin receptor systems in response to early life dietary manipulation. She then worked as a Toxicologist at the Centre for Radiation, Chemical, and Environmental Hazards for the governmental body Public Health England. Dr. Osman completed her postdoctoral research fellowship at the Friedman Brain Institute and the Seaver Autism Center for Research and Treatment at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where she now serves as an Assistant Professor, focusing on the role of gut microbiome changes in brain development and the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders.Livestream Air Date: April 25, 2023Follow Aya Osman, PhD: InstagramFollow Friends of Franz Podcast: Website, Instagram, FacebookFollow Christian Franz Bulacan (Host): Instagram, YouTubeThankful to the season's brand partners: Covry, House of M Beauty, Nguyen Coffee Supply, V Coterie, Skin By Anthos, Halmi, By Dr Mom, LOUPN, Baisun Candle Co., RĒJINS, Twrl Milk Tea, 1587 Sneakers

During a weekend visitation at her father's house,  Bailey Jacoby goes to the grocery store, leaving Iris with his live-in girlfriend.    As he is preparing to check out at the grocery store,  Owens calls Jacoby and tells him that something is wrong with Iris, she isn't acting like herself, she is unresponsive. Jacoby tells Owens to call 911. Emergency responders  Iris breathing with a fixed gaze and weak response. She's transported to the hospital when she dies four  days later.   The homicide investigation heats up when investigators discovered Bailey Jacoby's live-in girlfriend, the last person to be with Iris alone,  Aleisia Lynnae Owens, has been researching online the harm that water beads and batteries can cause children prior to the child ingesting the items.  The Attorney General's Office confirms, Owens also conducted  online research into household items that could cause serious harm or death to children.   Forensic extractions of Owens cell phone show she searched online for topics such as ; “If your child drinks a lot of nail polish remover, what happens” and “What happens if a baby eats nail polish,” and “How many cases have there been from babies dying from eating nail polish.” Another search on Owens' phone was “In how many cases have kids died from eating water beads,” “water beads harmful,” “Water beads near me,” and “Beauty products that are poisonous to kids.”   During the days Iris Alfera was in the hospital as well the day after she passes away, investigators discover numerous online searches conducted on Aleisia Owens phone for information on how to pass a polygraph test.   Joining Nancy Grace Today Candise Alfera - Grandmother of Iris, Facebook: Iris' Angels Frank Alfera- Grandfather of Iris Jarrett Ferentino- Homicide Prosecutor in Pennsylvania, https://jarrettferentino.com, Host: “True Crime Boss” Podcast, Facebook & Instagram: Jarrett Ferentino Dr. Bethany Marshall (Beverly Hills, CA), - Psychoanalyst www.drbethanymarshall.com/, Instagram & TikTok: drbethanymarshall, Twitter: @DrBethanyLive, appearing in the new show “Paris in Love” on Peacock  Larry Forletta- (New Castle, PA) Private investigator and founder &CEO of Forletta Investigative Security Consulting, Fmr.

Kouri Richins' book on how to deal with grief isn't the only thing she's written. There's a six-page handwritten letter that's sparking debate, "the walk the dog letter."  Prosecutors say that in the letter, Richins is teaching people how to lie about what happened the night her husband died.  Her defense team says the letter was privileged information and wants the prosecutors to be sanctioned. It's called the "walk the dog letter," since that phrase is written in big letters on the top. In it,  Richins makes the claim that her husband Eric was addicted to drugs, that he would make frequent trips to Mexico to get pills, and that his death was an accidental overdose. The letter was written to Richins' mother, and it reportedly tells her to instruct Richins' brother to make the connection to Mexico and drugs when he talks about the case. The question the court has to answer is, does a defendant attempting to help coach someone on what they should say on the witness stand, rise to the level of witness tampering? Prosecutors say it does rise to the level of witness tampering because there is no connection between Kouri Richins' brother and drugs from Mexico. The prosecution believes, again, that  Richins is instructing people to lie. That is why the prosecution is asking the judge to disallow contact between Richins and her mother.

Dr. Scott Coffin joined us in this encore presentation from 2022. As a toxicologist and Research Scientist at California State Water Resources Control Board, he speaks about how microplastics are entering our environment, how to assess risk and implement precautionary solutions. Microplastics, small, micro-sized plastic fragments are showing up in our water sources, rain, drinking water, and beverages like beer. It is in food, salt, and seafood. Moreover, it has recently been found in human breast milk, placentas, human lungs, and blood. One report indicated that blue whales are consuming 10 million pieces of microplastic particles a day. As plastic fragments, it continues to shed fibers smaller than a strand of human hair. Most of the time we are unaware how and when this happens. Did you know, when you open a plastic cap on a bottle, you release thousands of particles. But then there is also our clothing, roads, artificial turf, food packaging, tea bags, or plastic that comes in contact with friction, hot liquid, or hot food.

Pamela Conyers spent the night of Oct 16,  in typical teenager fashion. She went to the Friday night homecoming bonfire and pep rally at Glen Burnie High School. Afterward,  her mother gave her 5 dollars and the keys to the family car to run to a nearby mall to pick up shoe dye. Conyers never made it home.  Just days later,  a man reports to police, that he found a 1966 Dodge in an overgrown field about 100 yards off the road. It was the car Conyers was driving. Her body is found about 300 yards from the car. Conyers was lying on her side, wearing slacks and a pullover sweater, that had been turned inside out. Her underwear, her purse and the car keys are missing.   Four detectives are assigned to Pamela Conyers' case full-time. More than 200 leads are checked out.  25 suspects, were picked up interrogated and then released after their alibis checked out. Clothing, dirt and soil samples vacuumed from the car were sent to the FBI crime laboratory in Washington for analysis. No leads are generated and the case goes cold.  Joining Nancy Grace today: James Shelnutt - Attorney - The Shelnutt Law Firm, P.C.; 27-year Atlanta Metro Area Major Case Detective and Former S.W.A.T.

A 93-year-old man is rushed to the hospital when he becomes unresponsive, and he's rescued with Narcan--indicating he's overdosed on opioids. The elder isn't prescribed any narcotic pain medication, so where did it come from? All eyes turn to the man's in-home caregiver, Mallory Giles. Giles admits she regularly mixes opioids into the man's daily medications to keep him from noticing the personal purchases she's been making with his credit cards.  Joining Nancy Grace today: James Shelnutt - Attorney (Gadsden, AL), The Shelnutt Law Firm, P.C., 27 years Atlanta Metro Area Major Case Detective, Former S.W.A.T. officer, ShelnuttLawFirm.com, Twitter: @ShelnuttLawFirm Dr. Angela Arnold - Psychiatrist, Atlanta GA, AngelaArnoldMD.com, Expert in the Treatment of Pregnant/Postpartum Women, Former Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Obstetrics and Gynecology: Emory University, Former Medical Director of The Psychiatric Ob-Gyn Clinic at Grady Memorial Hospital, Voted My Buckhead's Best Psychiatric Practice of 2022   Sheryl McCollum - Cold Case Investigative Research Institute Founder, ColdCaseCrimes.org, Host of new podcast: Zone 7, Twitter: @ColdCaseTips  Dr. William Morrone - Medical Examiner, Toxicologist, Pathologist, opioid treatment expert, Author: “American Narcan: Naloxone & Heroin-Fentanyl Associated Mortality”   Caitlyn Becker - Senior Reporter for Dailymail.com, @caitlynbecker See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
