In this episode of Ditch the Lab Coat, Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with Dr. Marie Claire Bourque, a psychiatrist, executive coach, and mental performance consultant to elite athletes, including the Toronto Maple Leafs. Together, they dive into the world of high performance under pressure, uncovering what medicine can learn from the mental training of professional athletes.Dr. Bourque shares her insights on the importance of presence, focus, and resetting under stress—skills commonly built into the toolkit of elite performers but often neglected in the medical field. She discusses practical strategies like meditation, diaphragmatic breathing, and values-based living, emphasizing that these are trainable skills, not innate talents. Meditation, Dr. Bourque explains, isn't about getting good at meditating—it's about getting good at life, particularly in moments when it matters most.The conversation moves through the parallels between elite sports and the demands of medicine, exploring how even top professionals need to recognize when mental health support or even medication is necessary to maintain well-being and performance. Dr. Bourque candidly addresses the stigma around mental health and medication, both in sports and medicine, and the risks of trying to "white-knuckle" through life on hard mode.Listeners will come away with actionable advice on sleep, movement, nutrition, and discovering one's true values. Dr. Bourque's approach highlights the need to care for mental fitness just as intentionally as physical health, whether you're a surgeon, an athlete, or just navigating daily stress.This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in resilience, focus, and living with purpose—reminding us that training our minds is just as vital as training our bodies, and life doesn't have to be lived on hard mode.Episode HighlightsMeditation Enhances Daily Living — Meditation isn't just for calm; it helps you navigate real-life challenges by keeping you grounded in the present.Reset With Breathwork —Conscious diaphragmatic breathing helps you regain composure and focus, especially when distractions or stress threaten performance.Value-Based Living Drives Decisions — Identifying and living by your true values leads to greater fulfillment and resilience, rather than societal or external expectations.Sleep is Foundational Health — Adequate, restorative sleep is a non-negotiable for optimal performance, mental clarity, and emotional regulation.Movement Prevents Mental Illness —Regular, moderate-intensity exercise (150 minutes weekly) significantly lowers risk of depression and anxiety, supporting overall well-being.Substance Use Isn't a Solution —Self-medicating, especially with alcohol or cannabis, is common but ultimately harms performance, resilience, and long-term health.Purpose Motivates and Sustains Us — A clear sense of purpose, even if small, is essential for satisfaction and sustained motivation in day-to-day life.You Don't Have to Suffer — Life doesn't have to be lived on “hard mode”—seeking support and building skills makes it easier and more fulfilling.Episode Timestamps5:58 — Training Focus: Athletes vs. Doctors9:05 — Dedicated Daily Self-Improvement Practice11:50 — Mastering Presence through Meditation14:10 — Understanding Apologies and Distractions18:30 — Supporting Young Athletes' Mental Health23:05 — Athletes' Struggles with Substance Abuse26:45 — Reducing Self-Medication Through Therapy27:57 — Youth Misconceptions About Cannabis32:55 — Living by True Personal Values36:42 — Importance of Values in Decision-Making39:42 — Actionable Self-Improvement Tips41:42 — Escaping Life's Hard ModeDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

June 17, 2025, marks the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill, the first full-scale battle of what would become the American War for Independence. Although technically a British victory, Bunker Hill proved that colonial soldiers could hold their own against the might of the British Empire. New England militiamen inflicted 1,054 casualties on the British, 50 percent of the British force. The New Englanders sustained 411 casualties that day, including the man who stood at the heart of this battle: Dr. Joseph Warren. Who was Dr. Joseph Warren, and why did he risk his life in the first major battle of the Revolutionary War? What drove this physician, political thinker, and revolutionary leader to become the face of the American Revolution in Boston? Christian Di Spigna, Executive Director of the Dr. Joseph Warren Foundation, joins us to explore these questions and commemorate this important anniversary with details from his book, Founding Martyr: The Life and Death of Dr. Joseph Warren, the American Revolution's Lost Hero.

In 1998, Canada achieved what health officials call "measles elimination status" but now the country could lose that designation. Ontario is reporting more measles cases each week than it once saw over an entire decade. And just earlier this month Ontario's Ministry of Health has announced the first recorded death of a measles patient. Alberta is also experiencing its worst measles outbreak since the mid 90s. And according to the Pan American Health Organization, Canada has more cases than any other country in the Americas. At the same time, vaccine hesitancy has grown nationally along with a drop in measles immunization rates which is prompting some to call for mandatory childhood measles vaccination. An Angus Reid poll conducted last month found that 69% of Canadians agreed that vaccinations should be mandatory for kids.Our question: Should a childhood measles vaccination be mandatory?

durée : 00:02:25 - Le vrai ou faux - Le ministre de la Santé américain, complotiste et covidosceptique, a chargé des personnes aux positions antivaccins d'évaluer les vaccins pour le gouvernement.

[01:02:32:15 - 01:03:00:26] — New COVID Variant “Nimbus” EmergesA new COVID-19 strain named NB.1.8.1 or "Nimbus" is spreading across Europe, the Americas, and the Pacific. Despite its presence, public reaction remains muted, and the WHO has struggled to reignite pandemic-level fear.[01:03:02:19 - 01:04:06:05] — COVID Death Stats & PCR Test ManipulationThe segment critiques how COVID deaths were reported, alleging that deaths from unrelated causes were labeled as COVID due to unreliable PCR tests. The fear was manufactured, not the illness itself.[01:06:50:17 - 01:07:40:08] — Nimbus Is Mild, But Messaging ContinuesDespite its spread, the WHO and CDC state that the Nimbus variant causes no more severe illness than previous strains. Symptoms are flu-like, but official guidance still pushes boosters and ongoing monitoring.[01:11:16:16 - 01:13:05:21] — RFK Jr. Challenges CNN on Vaccine TrialsRFK Jr. rebuts CNN's claims that childhood vaccines underwent placebo-controlled trials. He asserts that none used inert placebos and criticizes the CDC's licensing process for lacking true scientific rigor.[01:14:05:06 - 01:14:30:08] — Rise in Childhood Vaccines Since 1986Kennedy highlights that routine childhood shots have risen from 11 in 1986 to as many as 92 today. He argues this dramatic increase has occurred without sufficient safety testing, driven by profits over protection.[01:17:58:11 - 01:18:34:20] — CNN's Vaccine Trial Evidence DeconstructedRFK Jr. dissects CNN's list of 257 studies, explaining that the majority used active or post-licensure comparators, not inert placebos. He says the data actually supports his claims about inadequate safety trials.[01:28:18:00 - 01:28:42:14] — Vaccines, Chronic Illness, and AccountabilityHe argues that the explosion in autoimmune and chronic conditions among children should force a reevaluation of the vaccine schedule, especially products designed to alter the immune system without proper testing.[01:33:02:03 - 01:33:52:06] — Polio Cases Fell Before Vaccine RolloutData suggests polio mortality declined significantly before the vaccine was introduced. Kennedy and sources argue the impact of vaccines is overstated and that case definitions were changed to exaggerate success.[01:37:39:03 - 01:38:52:10] — Gardasil and the Dangers of Active PlacebosThe HPV vaccine Gardasil is cited as an example where placebo-controlled trials were misleading, as toxic aluminum adjuvants were used instead of inert substances. 90% of test subjects had adverse reactions.[01:47:08:10 - 01:48:07:20] — Clots in Children of Vaccinated MothersA disturbing case is reported of fibrous clots found in a 3-year-old born to a vaccinated mother. Additional studies suggest reduced IVF success and raise red flags about long-term generational health effects. [01:50:22:15 - 01:51:05:27] — Medical Gaslighting of Vaccine-Injured ChildrenA mother describes how her child became severely ill after vaccination, only to be dismissed by doctors who diagnosed her daughter with a psychological condition. Despite visible symptoms, she was offered antidepressants instead of real treatment.[01:51:49:14 - 01:52:18:05] — Parents Silenced, Doctors in DenialAcross the country, parents of vaccine-injured children say they are routinely ignored or belittled by medical professionals. RFK Jr. calls it a systematic campaign of gaslighting, protecting pharma over patients.[01:52:18:07 - 01:53:02:24] — CDC Profits from the Vaccines It PromotesRFK Jr. exposes the CDC's deep financial entanglement with the pharmaceutical industry—owning patents and earning royalties on vaccines—creating an undeniable conflict of interest.[01:54:07:21 - 01:54:54:02] — Government Pharma Pipeline: Vaccines for ProfitThe CDC, FDA, and NIH hold patents on dozens of vaccines and directly profit from licensing deals. These regulatory agencies now act as business partners to Big Pharma while maintaining a public image of oversight.[01:55:33:03 - 01:56:30:05] — The Hippocratic Oath Is DeadRFK Jr. accuses the medical establishment of abandoning its ethical foundation. He says doctors today are more concerned with protecting institutions than protecting patients, calling modern medicine morally bankrupt.[01:57:31:19 - 01:58:30:17] — Alarming Trends: Fertility Drops & Infant ClotsData from IVF clinics and anecdotal reports point to falling fertility and potential reproductive harms post-vaccination. A disturbing case involves a baby born with fibrous clots—raising fears of generational damage.[01:59:58:27 - 02:01:16:17] — Censorship That Kills: The Price of Silencing DissentRFK Jr. argues that medical censorship during COVID wasn't just wrong—it was deadly. Early treatments were discredited, expert voices silenced, and lives were lost in the name of “consensus.”[02:01:30:00 - 02:02:14:00] — Gold, Silver, and the Crumbling Dollar (Tony Arterburn)Tony Arterburn gives an update on the precious metals market, warning of long-term dollar instability. He explains how gold and silver remain reliable hedges against inflation and financial collapse, especially in times of political and institutional distrust03:13:23:17 – 03:14:07:04 — ICE Raids Expand NationwideTrump deploys ICE tactical units to five Democrat-controlled cities, including New York and Seattle, as Los Angeles goes into lockdown due to immigration riots. The move intensifies the administration's aggressive immigration crackdown.03:14:17:18 – 03:14:49:11 — Newsom Warns of Federal OverreachCalifornia Governor Gavin Newsom delivers an emotional speech warning that Trump's unilateral deployment of the National Guard could set a dangerous precedent, applying to every state and threatening democratic norms.03:27:43:17 – 03:28:42:22 — Mexican Official Talks Reclaiming U.S. LandA Mexican senator suggests reclaiming U.S. territory lost after the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, showing a historical map and implying that migration could serve as a tool to reassert Mexico's claim over the American Southwest.Follow the show on Kick and watch live every weekday 9:00am EST – 12:00pm EST https://kick.com/davidknightshow Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.comIf you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

Welcome back to Ditch the Labcoat, the podcast where we cut through the noise and myths swirling around modern healthcare—one evidence-based conversation at a time. I'm Dr. Mark Bonta, and in today's episode, get ready to hear from one of our returning guests: Dr. Samira Jeimy, allergist, immunologist, associate professor, and the straight-talking force behind Allergies Explained.Dr. Jeimy is here to tackle her “Top 10 Propaganda Pieces” as an allergy expert—the big healthcare myths, media soundbites, and outright scams that drive her up the wall. From debunking the so-called ‘immunity debt' theory and the raw milk craze, to exposing the truth behind pricey food intolerance tests and the seductive marketing of wellness supplements, she brings a blend of humor, clinical wisdom, and no-nonsense clarity.You'll hear why “natural” doesn't always mean safe, how supplement and testing industries prey on patient anxiety, and why stories—more than science—often shape the health choices we make. Dr. Jeimy also takes us inside the real conversations she has with patients confused by allergy myths, and how she helps untangle fact from fiction, one appointment at a time.Whether you're a healthcare professional, a chronic allergy sufferer, a concerned parent, or just tired of being bamboozled in the supplement aisle, this episode brings fresh perspective, sharp debunking, and a dose of laughter to your feed. So cozy up and get ready to ditch the misinformation, as we dive into the truth behind the top allergy and immunology myths with Dr. Samira Jeimy.Episode HighlightsImmunity Debt Myth Don't believe the narrative that lack of infection "weakens" your immune system; real harm comes from infections, not their absence.Food Intolerance Tests Are Useless Expensive food intolerance tests measure exposure, not intolerance, leading to wasted money and unnecessary diet restrictions.Natural Isn't Always Safe “Natural” products (like raw milk, plant oils) aren't automatically safe—many can cause harm or severe allergic reactions.Eczema Not About Food Eliminating foods often doesn't cure eczema; the real issue is inflammation of the skin, not food allergies.Overtesting Creates False Allergies Unnecessary allergy testing leads to false positives, unhelpful labels, and dangerous food restrictions.Episode Timestamps 4:16 — Influencer Impact on Health Information 6:35 — "Storytelling's Impact in Tech and Health" 12:51 — Health Concerns or Misdirection? 16:52 — Food Desensitization and Lifestyle Changes 20:07 — Countering Misinformation on Allergies 21:46 — Dietary Restrictions and Relationship Strain 25:24 — Immune System Overreaction Dangers 27:48 — Benadryl: Canada's Sole IV Antihistamine 31:12 — Dairy, Sugar, and Skin Health 35:08 — Unreported Complementary Health Treatments 38:52 — The Limitations of Unvalidated Diagnostic Tests 42:46 — Dr. Jamie: Compassionate Healthcare AdvocateDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

In this episode of The Non-Prophets, the panel reacts to the alarming halt in CDC communications, with the U.S. now flying blind on public health threats. Budget cuts, mass firings, and political meddling have silenced disease alerts that once informed doctors, hospitals, and the public. The team dives into how dismantling the CDC's outreach endangers lives, erodes trust in science, and shows contempt for evidence-based governance. It's not about public safety—it's about control.NPR, “CDC's public health warnings go dark after staff firings, media freeze”By Elijah Nouvelage, May 21, 2025https://www.npr.org/2025/05/21/nx-s1-5387723/cdc-communications-cuts-social-media-public-healthThe Non-Prophets 24.23.1 with Eli Slack, Kelley Laughlin, and AJAmerica's Disease Watchdog Has Gone Silent

It's a controversial topic - but with communal discipline still common in many cultures, does it truly take a village to raise a child? And if so, how do you establish the norms in your own community. Helen puts it to three parenting experts. Meanwhile, as a major oncology conference in the USA hears how cancer patients are now delaying or refusing treatment in favour of miracle diets, essential oils and advice from TikTok influencers with no medical qualifications, Helen factchecks some medical claims with breast cancer surgeon turned patient, Dr Liz O'Riordan. We get the facts on healthcare before travel, and vaccine catch-ups, with Dr Howard Podolsky, and Tom Poulson from Haus&Haus is also on hand to talk property buying mistakes, and how to avoid them.

This Day in Maine for Friday, June 6th, 2025.

Selon une étude IPSOS pour le laboratoire MSD, 48% des parents qui ont un enfant en classe de 5ème ne se sentent suffisamment informés sur la vaccination contre les papillomavirus. Elle est pourtant organisée au collège depuis 2023, pour tous les élèves de 5ème. Dans "Ca va beaucoup mieux", notre journaliste Santé Agathe Landais revient sur l'intérêt de cette vaccination, qui pourrait permettre d'éradiquer le cancer du col de l'utérus, si nos ados étaient mieux vaccinés. Ecoutez Ça va beaucoup mieux avec Agathe Landais du 06 juin 2025.Distribué par Audiomeans. Visitez audiomeans.fr/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

Measles cases in North America have exceeded 3,200, mainly due to low vaccination rates, with children most affected. Clinicians are urged to verify immunization status and close gaps. The EU is restricting azithromycin use amid rising antimicrobial resistance, dropping certain indications and adding new warnings. A trial shows methotrexate is a viable first-line alternative to prednisone for pulmonary sarcoidosis with differing side effects.

The Santa Barbara County Grand Jury recently released a report detailing the lack of data available on vaccination rates in the county. KCSB's Devon Szalva explains what the report found.

In today's VETgirl online veterinary CE podcast, we discuss the potential development of an autoimmune response against platelets following live virus infection from canine influenza, and separately following vaccination with distemper (DA2PP) vaccine. Have you ever wondered before in your immune-mediated thrombocytopenic patients whether or not recent vaccination could have been the inciting factor for this autoimmune condition? Well, Williams et al. sought to get us the veterinary evidence that can tell us if viral infection or vaccination can cause this autoimmune dysregulation in our canine patients as described in their article entitled “Effects of Canine Influenza Infection and DA2PP Vaccination on the Development of Platelet-Associated Immunoglobulins and Platelet Counts in Dogs.”

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on new medical guidance for travelers.

Summer Grilling Trends 2025 This summer, U.S. grillers are prioritizing affordable meats without sacrificing flavor, according to Cargill's 2025 Protein Trends Report. Despite rising prices, ground beef, chicken, and hot dogs remain top picks at backyard barbecues. Nearly 90% of consumers plan to grill this summer, with half firing up the grill weekly. Beef leads the way at 94%, followed by poultry at 64%, according to NielsenIQ data cited by Cargill. Steaks like ribeye, sirloin, filet mignon, and strip remain grilling favorites. With 61% of consumers boosting their protein intake and 60% planning meals around protein first, many are choosing steaks to enjoy restaurant-quality meals at home—for less.

Welcome back to another eye-opening episode of Ditch the Lab Coat with Dr. Mark Bonta! While we usually dig into the science behind medicine's biggest questions, on this episode, Dr. Mark is joined by the extraordinary Dr. Erwin Loh — a powerhouse at the intersection of medicine, law, healthcare leadership, and medical futurology. Dr. Loh is not only the President of the Royal Australasian College of Medical Administrators and National Director of Medical Services for Calvary Healthcare in Australia, but he's also a trusted voice on LinkedIn, where he untangles medical breakthroughs and ethical dilemmas for his global audience on the daily (sometimes 5 to 10 times a day!)—all while juggling life as an executive and dad.Together, Mark and Erwin tackle some of the most pressing—and headline-worthy—topics in medicine today. They dig into Long Covid: what it is, why it's not just "all in your head," and why the recognition of this condition is also reshaping how we think about elusive illnesses like chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. If you've wondered what's really happening with the mysterious gut microbiome, the resurgence of old viruses, or the risks of misinformation in today's media chaos, you'll find answers grounded in the latest evidence, not just the loudest opinions.But that's not all—they venture into the weird and wild wonders of scientific progress, from the looming issue of plastics in our cells to CRISPR gene editing and the promises (and perils) of AI in healthcare. Along the way, you'll hear why microplastics might be the “asbestos of our age,” how mixing vaccines can make you a lightning rod for online trolls, and why being cautiously optimistic about humanity's next steps—despite climate change, pandemics, and deepfake bioweapons—is not just reasonable, it's necessary.Whether you're a science junkie, a future-watcher, or simply want a hopeful, no-nonsense take on where medicine is headed (and how it affects your life), this episode delivers smart, ethical, and accessible conversation. Pour yourself something strong, turn your curiosity up to eleven, and get ready for a tour de force of myth-busting, insight, and inspiring optimism from two voices at the cutting edge of healthcare.Tune in for the kind of honest, evidence-based, and thought-provoking discussion you won't find anywhere else—right here on Ditch the Lab Coat!Dr Loh's Links( https://www.linkedin.com/in/erwinloh/ )( https://x.com/erwinloh )Episode HighlightsLong Covid: Real and Varied Long Covid is a legitimate, multifaceted syndrome. Most cases improve within two years, but symptoms and underlying mechanisms differ widely.Post-Viral Syndromes Aren't New Long-term illness after viral infections, like after influenza or Epstein Barr, has long existed—Covid just spotlighted this issue.Chronic Illness Recognition Grows Long Covid research is giving more credibility to conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia within the medical community.Silent Illnesses Challenge Healthcare Illnesses without definitive biomarkers, such as Long Covid, are harder to diagnose and treat, often leading to patient stigma.Microbiome's Expanding Influence Our gut, skin, and oral microbiomes profoundly affect physical and mental health, though much remains to be discovered about exactly how.Viruses and Chronic Disease Links Viruses may contribute to diseases like multiple sclerosis, cancers, and possibly Alzheimer's, highlighting new frontiers in research.Gene Editing: Transformative Power CRISPR technology lets us precisely edit human genes, promising cures for some diseases but raising major ethical and safety concerns.AI: Double-Edged Healthcare Tool AI accelerates medical discovery and innovation but can also enable harmful outcomes, including creation of bioweapons or misinformation.Plastics: Ubiquitous Unknown Threat Microplastics are everywhere, even in our cells. The true health risks are not fully understood but raise serious environmental and biological questions.Episode Timestamps4:22 – Long Covid: Global Challenge and Uncertainty9:31 – Recognizing Long Covid's Impact10:47 – Exploring Long Covid Treatments16:39 – Unknown Frontiers in Science18:22 – Understanding Microbiome and Disease Dynamics21:04 – COVID Vaccination Journey and Hybrid Immunity24:42 – LinkedIn: Fewer Trolls, Richer Conversations29:04 – Gene Therapy via Phage Infections31:58 – Genetic Correction: Hope and Ethics36:54 – AI and Humanity's Existential Challenges41:14 – Future of Microplastics and Society44:24 – AI, Cognition, and Future Governance46:28 – "Medical Futurology with Irwin Lowe48:31 – "AI in Medicine: Trust MattersDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

America Out Loud PULSE with Dr. Peter McCullough and Malcolm Out Loud – If I have taken your detoxification, which I have been doing for over a year, is it safe to exercise as strenuously as I previously did? If my heart had a micro scar, could the detox heal it, and how long post-vaccine would there be a risk of cardiac issues? Are these blood clots spike protein, and does your detox break them down?

In this episode of Your Natural Dog with Angela Ardolino, Dr. Jeff Grognet joins us to shine a light on the hidden risks of over-vaccinating our pets. Together, we explore what many conventional vets don't talk about—how certain vaccine ingredients can accumulate in the body, why adverse reactions are underreported, and what vaccine-related conditions often get dismissed or misdiagnosed. Dr. Jeff explains the science behind titer testing, how long vaccine protection really lasts, and why one-size-fits-all vaccine schedules may do more harm than good. With over 40 years of experience in both conventional and holistic veterinary medicine, Dr. Jeff shares empowering insights to help pet parents make safer, more informed choices.Episode Recap:Why annual vaccinations are still being pushed—despite outdated scienceWhat the vaccine guidelines actually say about immunityThe risks of over-vaccination, including autoimmune reactions and tumorsHow to interpret titer tests correctlyHow to detox your pet after a required vaccineWhy more vets don't talk about long-term immunityThe role of education (and pharma funding) in veterinary medicineDr. Grognet's updated vaccine guidelines for 2025Episode Resources:Visit Dr. Jeff Grognet's Website New Earth VetDr. Grognet's Vaccine Guidelines for 2025Want to download the Synthetic Vitamins & Minerals chart and the Additives to Avoid in Pet Supplements chart?

00;02;09;25 - 00;04;50;23 Trump's Ego and Celebrity Endorsements: Trump demands a probe into Kamala Harris's campaign for allegedly paying celebrities (e.g., Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, Oprah) for endorsements disguised as entertainment services. Claims this is about his ego rather than political integrity, as he's upset they opposed him. Accuses Harris of violating campaign laws but ignores similar issues in his own campaign. Trump's Tariff Policy Critique (00;24;19;26 - 00;29;39;05)Exposes economic consequences of Trump's tariffs, debunking his claim that China pays them. Highlights real-world impacts like price hikes, layoffs, and U.S. economic strain due to a weak manufacturing base. This challenges populist rhetoric and reveals policy flaws affecting everyday Americans.Infant Death After Vaccines (00;36;57;12 - 00;43;09;00)A tragic case of a six-month-old dying post-vaccination raises serious questions about routine vaccine safety and SIDS correlations. It's emotionally compelling and underscores the need for transparency in medical practices, resonating with parental concerns.Covid Vaccine Deaths Ignored (00;45;17;07 - 00;50;54;24)Reveals systemic failure in Australia's investigation of 35 same-day Covid vaccine deaths, highlighting government cover-ups and regulatory bias. The temporal correlation data is striking and fuels distrust in public health institutions.Covid Vaccines and Miscarriages (00;59;51;19 - 01;03;46;22)A near-10% increase in miscarriage rates among vaccinated pregnant women is alarming, especially with researchers downplaying it. This underscores ethical concerns about vaccine mandates for pregnant women and the manipulation of scientific narratives.Kristi Noem's Habeas Corpus Misunderstanding (01;11;24;13 - 01;15;50;20)Noem falsely claims habeas corpus grants Trump deportation powers, misunderstanding its role as a check on unlawful detention. Her error and Stephen Miller's suggestion to suspend it raise alarms about due process violations.Constitutional Concerns and Trump's Agenda (01;20;44;01 - 01;23;26;25)Suspending habeas corpus for migrants is constitutionally dubious, as the power resides with Congress, not the president. The “invasion” justification is weak, threatening civil liberties for all, including citizens critical of government policies.Stablecoin Bill and CBDC Concerns (01;40;02;12 - 01;42;23;23)The Senate's Genius Stablecoin Bill advances, raising fears of a trackable central bank digital currency (CBDC). Despite Democratic concerns over Trump's crypto ventures, the bill signals a push for government-controlled financial oversight.Moody's U.S. Credit Downgrade (01;42;51;13 - 01;44;43;24)Moody's U.S. credit downgrade triggers market reactions (falling futures, rising yields, gold up), reflecting unsustainable spending and signaling the decline of U.S. financial hegemony, a pivotal economic shift.Constitutional Crisis and Judicial Overreach (01;59;51;06 - 02;04;38;20)Trump's administration challenges judicial authority, claiming judges overstep by dictating executive actions like spending or policy. Vance argues judges lack authority over legitimate executive powers, while critics warn of a constitutional crisis and unprecedented presidential power.CIA's Role in Governance (02;25;36;10 - 02;36;37;04)Mike Johnson's anecdote about Biden's unawareness reveals CIA influence in the White House. A CIA official's claim that government prioritizes its own continuity over citizens' rights exposes a “national security” mindset treating Americans as economic tools.Stargate AI and mRNA Vaccines (02;48;56;23 - 02;57;01;06)Trump's $500B Stargate AI project with tech giants promises jobs but raises concerns about AI-driven mRNA cancer vaccines. Critics highlight genetic manipulation risks and elite control, amplified by Trump's vaccine advocacy and unproven mRNA safety.Follow the show on Kick and watch live every weekday 9:00am EST – 12:00pm EST https://kick.com/davidknightshow Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.comIf you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

Border post facilities set up since Brexit to handle import checks could now be scaled down or even dismantled. The UK's new deal with the EU promises progress towards an agreement to reduce the paperwork and border checks involved in trading foods like meat and dairy. It also includes a deal on fishing which would allow EU boats to fish in British waters for a further 12 years. The Scottish Fishermen's Federation has called it "a horror show", but the DEFRA Secretary, Steve Reed, says it's a "reasonably good deal" for UK fishing.In its manifesto the Labour party promised to end what it described as “the ineffective badger cull". The Government now says it's working on a revised TB eradication strategy, which includes increased badger vaccination and a national wildlife surveillance programme to better understand the disease. So how much difference could that make?And a new set of targets to tackle climate change have been recommended to Scottish Government ministers, replacing those scrapped last year. A report from the Climate Change Committee suggests effectively delaying short term progress by six years, but keeping Scotland on track to meet its long-term goal of net zero emissions by 2045.Presented by Anna Hill Produced by Heather Simons

Welcome back to another eye-opening episode of Ditch the Lab Coat with Dr. Mark Bonta! While we usually dig into the science behind medicine's biggest questions, this week we're tackling the latest health fads and “wellness” trends lighting up your social feeds—from infrared saunas and cold plunges to mouth taping and chlorophyll water.Joining Mark is Dr. Samir Gupta, a leading Canadian health communicator, clinician, and respirologist known for translating the complex world of medical research into practical advice you can trust. Together, they sift fact from fiction on everything from the cardiovascular perks of sauna bathing (is it really the “new running”?), to the surprising metabolic effects of cold immersion, and what science truly says about intermittent fasting and its potential risks.If you've ever wondered whether that daily cold plunge will actually boost your immune system, or if packing your cart with ultra-processed foods is as dangerous as smoking, this episode is for you. Mark and Samir unpack the real data—both the encouraging findings and the cautionary tales—behind today's most viral wellness hacks, including why you might want to think twice before taping your mouth shut or spending a fortune on chlorophyll water.They also take a deep dive into the gut microbiome—what it actually is, how it impacts cravings and disease risk, and why you shouldn't rush to buy the latest “miracle” probiotic kit just yet. Plus, a frank discussion on the harms (and sometimes hilarity) of the social media health machine.Whether you're a wellness skeptic, a trend-chaser, or just someone confused by conflicting health advice, this episode delivers the scientifically sound, refreshingly honest perspective you've been looking for. Plug in for myth-busting, evidence-backed conversation—and a few laughs—about what it really takes to live healthier, longer, and smarter.Episode HighlightsSauna Science Surprises : Frequent sauna use, especially Finnish-style, is linked to reduced heart disease and dementia risk, with short- and long-term benefits.Infrared vs. Traditional Saunas : Infrared saunas might differ from classic dry saunas; less data supports their health claims, especially regarding respiratory or cardiovascular outcomes.Benefits and Limits of Cold Plunge : Cold plunges activate brown fat and may modulate immunity, but benefits depend on regular, protocol-based use—not occasional dips.Intermittent Fasting: Mixed Signals : Intermittent fasting can offer metabolic perks and moderate weight loss, but recent studies raise concerns about potential long-term cardiovascular risks.Ultra Processed Foods: New Tobacco : Growing evidence ties ultra processed foods to shorter lifespans, heart disease, cancers, and mental health risks—diet quality matters deeply.Fad Diets: Caution Required : Trends like the carnivore diet or chlorophyll water lack solid evidence and may distract from proven, common-sense health choices.Ancient Traditions, Modern Evidence : Heat and cold therapies are age-old practices; modern research is catching up to explain their physiological and health effects.Gut Microbiome: Emerging Frontier : The diversity and health of your gut bacteria impact metabolism, immunity, cravings, and possibly mental health; much remains unknown.Simple Habits Still Matter : Basic changes—better sleep, home cooking, activity, limiting processed foods—often have more impact than supplements or extreme regimens.Episode Timestamps06:00 – Sauna Benefits: Short and Long Term?08:44 – Evaluating Health Trends Skeptically13:19 – Ancient Health Benefits of Saunas17:00 – WeGovy Microdosing: Affordability and Efficacy19:52 – Intermittent Fasting: A Convenient Habit21:49 – Metabolic Adaptation and Eating Habits26:03 – Dangers of Ultra-Processed Foods29:46 – Ultra-Processed Foods: Health Risks Highlighted33:09 – Unexpected Health Outcomes: Smoking vs. Lifestyle35:55 – Microbiome's Impact on Health and Cravings38:14 – Gut Microbiome: Promising but Uncertain42:41 – Investing in Health Improvements44:33 – Rethinking Supplement Fads with ScienceDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

So you want to move abroad with your fluffy friend... where do you even get started? Vaccinations, quarantines, flights, cargo... It's enough to make anyone have a meltdown. For many of us, our pets are family, and we're not going to leave them behind. We want to make sure the journey is safe, straightforward, and doesn't cause our pets anxiety. Well... thankfully, I've brought in an expert who knows just about everything there is to know about moving abroad with pets! 

The McCullough Report with Dr. Peter McCullough – Claims of widespread reproductive harm from COVID-19 vaccines fuel serious global concern as experts report reduced sperm counts, disrupted menstrual cycles, pregnancy complications, and egg viability loss. Using Czech Republic data, researchers suggest mass vaccination may have cut fertility rates by a third, potentially ushering in dramatic lasting demographic shifts.

Oregon kindergarteners are opting out of vaccinations at increasingly higher rates over the last four years. And public health officials are growing increasingly concerned. Oregon is one of just 15 states that allow parents to opt out of childhood vaccinations for nonreligious, nonmedical reasons. The current opt-out rate of 9.7% is the highest recorded in state history. Health officials say the measles and pertussis outbreaks in the state are an indication more work is needed to boost vaccination rates more broadly.We get more details from Stacy de Assis Matthews, the immunization coordinator at Oregon Health Authority, and Dr. Paul Cieslak, medical director for the Acute and Communicable Disease Prevention Section and the Oregon Immunization Program at OHA.      

Les sciences sont omniprésentes dans notre quotidien : voitures, machines automatiques, manière de voter, de croire ou de ne pas croire, ou encore le téléphone dont on ne saurait plus se passer. Les sciences touchent aussi à la nature, à nos corps et à l'ensemble de nos enjeux de santé. Les sciences font également partie intégrante de l'histoire coloniale. Géographes, ethnologues, biologistes et médecins ont parcouru et parfois directement contribué à la colonisation des empires par intérêt scientifique sans s'abstraire du racisme de l'entreprise : ils ont aussi diffusé et parfois imposé la médecine occidentale notamment par les campagnes de vaccination organisées pour éradiquer les infections malines. Avec Laurence Monnais, historienne de la médecine coloniale et des épidémies, CHUV-UNIL.

Episode DescriptionAudra Moran is the President and CEO of OCRA—Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance—which means she spends her days doing things most of us wouldn't survive five minutes doing: merging nonprofits, leading national patient support programs, funding lifesaving research, surviving pharma grant hell, and trying to reach every woman in America who might be slipping through the cracks. We talk about her time working with the Helen Keller National Center (yes, she knows finger spelling), her accidental journey into cancer nonprofit leadership, the weirdness of dermoid cysts, the ridiculousness of writing grants, and the absolute hellscape of diagnosis delay. Oh, and the fallopian tubes. You'll never look at them the same way again.This episode is funny, raw, deeply personal, and loaded with Gen X movie references and random facts about Paul Rudd, Terminator 2, and flipbook apps at 3am. Audra drops wisdom, humility, and a few hot takes on AI, advocacy, and what it really means to lead when the boulder keeps rolling downhill.RELATED LINKSAudra Moran on LinkedInOvarian Cancer Research Alliance (OCRA)Audra's profile on OCRACURE Today interview: Leading the FightOCRA + AI & Data: Overlooked PodcastFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Vaccination is one of the best ways to prevent diseases. Over the past 50 years, essential vaccines saved at least 154 million lives (1). During the same period, vaccination has reduced infant deaths by 40%. Together with governments, vaccine manufacturers, scientists and medical experts, WHO's vaccine safety program is constantly helping monitor the safety of vaccines. This helps ensure that vaccines are safe for you and your family. ​In the United States, a number of safeguards are required by law to help ensure that the vaccines we receive are safe. Because vaccines are given to millions of healthy people—including children—to prevent serious diseases, they're held to very high safety standards. Every authorized or approved vaccine goes through safety testing, including: Testing and evaluation of the vaccine before it's licensed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and recommended for use by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Monitoring the vaccine's safety after it is recommended for infants, children, or adults ​ Before a vaccine is ever recommended for use, it's tested in labs. This process can take several years. FDA uses the information from these tests to decide whether to test the vaccine with people. During a clinical trial, a vaccine is tested on people who volunteer to get vaccinated. Clinical trials usually start with 20 to 100 volunteers, but eventually include thousands of volunteers. These tests can take several years and answer important questions like: Is the vaccine safe? What dose (amount) works best? How does the immune system react to it? Throughout the process, FDA works closely with the company producing the vaccine to evaluate the vaccine's safety and effectiveness. All safety concerns must be addressed before FDA licenses or authorizes a vaccine. ​Once a vaccine is approved or authorized, it continues to be tested. The company that makes the vaccine tests batches to make sure the vaccine is: Potent (It works like it's supposed to) Pure (Certain ingredients used during production have been removed) Sterile (It doesn't have any outside germs) FDA reviews the results of these tests and inspects the factories where the vaccine is made. This helps make sure the vaccines meet standards for both quality and safety. ​Once a vaccine is recommended for use, FDA, CDC, and other federal agencies continue to monitor its safety. ​The United States has one of the most advanced systems in the world for tracking vaccine safety. Each of the systems below supplies a different type of data for researchers to analyze. Together, they help provide a full picture of vaccine safety. Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS): VAERS is an early warning system managed by CDC and FDA that is designed to find possible vaccine safety issues. Patients, health care professionals, vaccine companies, and others can use VAERS to report side effects that happen after a patient received a vaccine. Some side effects might be related to vaccination while others might be a coincidence (happen by chance). VAERS helps track unusual or unexpected patterns of reporting that could mean there's a possible vaccine safety issue that needs further evaluation. The Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD): VSD is a collaboration between CDC and several health care organizations across the nation. VSD uses databases of medical records to track vaccine safety and do research in large populations. By using medical records instead of self-reports, VSD can quickly study and compare data to find out if reported side effects are linked to a vaccine. Post-licensure Rapid Immunization Safety Monitoring System (PRISM), links to an external website, opens in a new tab: PRISM is part of the Sentinel Initiative, which is FDA's national system for monitoring medical products after they're licensed for use. PRISM focuses on vaccine safety—it uses a database of health insurance claims to identify and evaluate possible safety issues for licensed vaccines. Clinical Immunization Safety Assessment Project (CISA): CISA is a collaboration between CDC and a national network of vaccine safety experts from medical research centers. CISA does clinical vaccine safety research and—at the request of providers—evaluates complex cases of possible vaccine side effects in specific patients. Biologics Effectiveness and Safety (BEST) System: A system that uses multiple data sources and rapid queries to detect or evaluate adverse events or study specific safety questions. Additional research and testing: The Department of Defense (DoD), the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and the Indian Health Service (IHS) have systems to monitor vaccine safety and do vaccine safety research. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Office of Infectious Disease and HIV/AIDS Policy (OIDP) also support ongoing research on vaccines and vaccine safety. During emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, additional safety activities are utilized to help evaluate the data in quickly and with special populations. For example, a new smartphone tool called V-safe uses text messaging and surveys to check in with COVID-19 vaccine recipients after vaccination.  (CREDITS)   

In this episode, Dr. Jessica Steier and Dr. Sarah Scheinman welcome Dr. Michael Mina to explore the nuanced realities of COVID-19 vaccines and public health communication. The scientists examine the limitations of current vaccines in preventing transmission and how this has affected public trust. Dr. Mina introduces the critical concept of immune amnesia, particularly in relation to measles, explaining its profound implications for understanding immunity. The conversation places current vaccine challenges in historical context while discussing the ongoing pursuit of universal vaccines. Throughout the episode, the experts emphasize the importance of transparent, accurate scientific communication in building and maintaining public trust in vaccination programs.
