As if the situation wasn't bad enough for people facing starvation in the Greater Horn of Africa region, now UN humanitarians have warned that they're in the grip of surging disease, linked to malnutrition.According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan and Uganda, have been particularly affected.All seven countries are battling measles outbreaks, four have reported cholera outbreaks and malaria is a serious threat in Sudan.With more on the human impact of this ongoing emergency, here's Liesbeth Aelbrecht, WHO Incident Manager, talking to UN News's Daniel Johnson.

Welcome back to Iron Sights! I'm in the studio today with Stephen Brenna and CeCe English to discuss Erythritol and why it's making headlines since being approved by The World Health Organization (WHO) in 1999 and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2001. Recently, popular news outlets have been broadcasting headlines linking Erythritol to terminal illness, disease and death - we're not surprised. This episode covers the research, scientists and facts behind these new studies claiming "death caused by Erythritol".

In this edition Chris Kuhlmann the what's in the intersection of the Asbury revival, the CDC, the Biden administration, and the World Health Organization. The Biden administration is preparing to commit the United States to a “legally binding” accord with the World Health Organization (WHO) that would give this UN subsidiary the authority to dictate United States' health policies during a pandemic. The WHO pandemic treaty is part of a two-track effort, coinciding with an initiative by the World Health Assembly (WHA) to create new global pandemic regulations that would also supersede the laws of member states. The WHA is the rule-making body of the WHO, comprised of representatives from the member states. The WHO would determine what a pandemic is, dictate types of lockdowns, travel and vaccination status surveillance, and so MUCH more!   CREDITS Hosts: Chris Kuhlmann Produced by: Shaun Griffin Sponsored by: America First Insurance Group Music composed by JD Kuhlmann Art: Shaun Griffin Sound: Chris Kuhlmann and Shaun Griffin   America First Insurance Group Insuring your life.

Episode 131: Breastfeeding Part 2Lia and Aruna explain some updates given by the American Academy of Pediatrics regarding breastfeeding. Dr. Arreaza adds some comments about breastfeeding. Written by Aruna Sridharan, MS4, and Lia Khachikyan, MS4, Ross University School of Medicine. Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.The motivation for this episode was a recent publication by the American Academy of Pediatrics, on June 27, 2022, titled Policy Statement: Breastfeeding and the Use of Human Milk. During this episode, we included updated information along with other useful material.Duration of breastfeeding:The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), World Health Organization (WHO), and Center of Disease Control (CDC) recommend exclusive breastfeeding at least for the first 6 months, after which one can start to introduce complementary pureed foods. The US Department of Agriculture states that initiating complementary foods earlier than 6 months offers no benefit to the baby and can even be associated with a higher risk of overweight or obesity, especially if introduced before 4 months. Mothers are then encouraged to continue breastfeeding for at least one year and can further continue up to 2 years of age or longer - as long as mutually desired by mother and child. This is an update from previous recommendations regarding the duration of breastfeeding until 1 year of age.Composition of human breastmilk:As the sole source of nutrition for infants in the first 6 months of life, breast milk plays a critical role in development. Human milk has a unique composition of proteins, fats, and lactose, as well as vitamins, electrolytes, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory immunoregulatory agents, and living leukocytes, all of which contribute to the developing immune system of the child. Breast milk is rich in Vitamins B1, B2, and B6, Vitamins C, A, E, Ca, Mg, phosphate, and folate. However, it is low in Vitamins K, D, B12, and iron, therefore supplementation of these nutrients is required. It is important for mothers to consume an adequate and healthy diet for their breastmilk to contain appropriate levels of these nutrients. Water-soluble and Fat-soluble vitamins can be low in breast milk if the mother has a deficiency. Selenium can be low if maternal serum levels are low. Dietary iodine deficiency may also be exacerbated by smoking; iron deficiency; and consumption of large amounts of foods that interfere with the production of thyroid hormones, known as goitrogens, including Brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli. Maternal diet:Mothers should consume iodine-rich foods, such as lean meat, eggs, dairy, beans, and lentils. It is important to choose a variety of whole grains, as well as fruits and vegetables, and continue taking multivitamins. Fun fact: Different foods will change the flavor of your breast milk. This will expose your baby to different tastes, which might help him or her more easily accept solid foods down the road! It is recommended that mothers consume 290 mcg of iodine and 550mg of choline a day. Is there anything that mothers should avoid in their diet?-Limit seafood: Although fish is a good source of protein and lean meat, it contains some mercury, which can be transferred to the baby's diet. High amounts of mercury can have an adverse effect on the baby's brain and nervous system.-Limit caffeine: Also, we know a lot of people love their morning dose of espresso! Low to moderate amounts, equivalent to 2-3 cups of coffee per day, do not adversely affect the infant. However, anything more than around 300 mg of caffeine can cause irritability, poor sleeping patterns, fussiness, and jitteriness. Remember! This also includes sodas, energy drinks, tea, and even chocolate! As a reminder, one cup of coffee can have 95mg of caffeine.Vegan mothers: Vegetarian/vegan mothers may have very limited amounts of vitamin B12 in their bodies, which can result in neurological damage to the baby. Iron levels may also be sparse since plant-based foods only contain non-heme iron, which is less absorbable than heme iron. The American Dietetic Association recommends supplementation of vitamin B12, iron, and other nutrients such as choline, zinc, iodine, or omega-3 fats. Benefits:For the baby: Studies show that exclusively breastfeeding for 6 months decreased rates of neonatal and infant mortality as well as pediatric disorders such as otitis media, diabetes mellitus, obesity, lower respiratory tract disorders, asthma, atopic dermatitis, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), severe diarrhea, and inflammatory bowel disease. The longer an infant is breastfed, the greater the protection from certain illnesses and long-term diseases. For the mother: The longer a mother breastfeeds, the greater the benefits to her health as well. Mothers who breastfeed experience a lower risk of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and breast, ovarian, and endometrial cancers. Contraindications:-Alcohol: Having up to 1 drink per day is not harmful to the baby, especially if the mother waits at least 2 hours before feeding the infant. This allows time for the blood alcohol concentration in the breastmilk to decrease. Consuming more than 2 standard alcoholic drinks daily is highly discouraged.-Tobacco: Cigarette smoking, or the use of nicotine products, is associated with decreased production of milk, shorter lactation time, and an increased risk of SIDS, asthma, and other respiratory illnesses in infants. Therefore, mothers should be strongly encouraged to stop smoking and minimize secondhand exposure. We know it is very difficult for people to quit abruptly. While transitioning to cessation, mothers should be counseled to smoke right after breastfeeding to allow the greatest amount of time for nicotine to exit the body until the next feed. Other cessation alternatives such as the patch or gum can also be used during breastfeeding.Varenicline: No human data is available to assess the risk of infant harm, but it is likely excreted in the milk, no data on the assessment of milk production.-Other substances: Marijuana, opioids, amphetamine, cocaine, and other illicit drugs are contraindicated due to their effects on neurodevelopmental behaviors. If these substances have been used intrapartum or during breastfeeding, it is important to monitor the baby for Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome. Some symptoms include poor weight gain, tremors, high-pitched crying, stuffy nose, poor feeding/sucking, seizures, irritability, poor sleep, vomiting, and diarrhea.-Maternal infections: Breastfeeding is not contraindicated during most maternal infections. Some exceptions include HIV, Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I or II, untreated brucellosis, Ebola virus, or active Herpetic lesions on the breast. Women with herpetic lesions may breastfeed from the unaffected breast. -Maternal medications: Medications are relatively safe for breastfed babies, but some contraindications include anticancer drugs, oral retinoids, lithium, iodine, and amiodarone. Mothers should go over their medication list with their primary physician.Pregnancy and Lactation Labeling Final Rule (PLLR): Classification of drugs according to their impact on pregnancy and breastfeeding (categories A, B, C, D, X) was started in 1979, but it was stopped in 2015 and replaced by the Pregnancy and Lactation Labeling Final Rule (PLLR). The former categories were replaced with narrative sections and subsections to include: Pregnancy (including labor and delivery), Lactation, and information for Females and Males of Reproductive Potential (pregnancy testing, contraception, infertility).Role of the physician and stigmas:It is well known that breastfeeding can strengthen the bond between the mother and her child. Therefore, when latching becomes a problem, mothers are quick to become discouraged. If this happens, pediatricians should educate the parents that many breastfeeding problems commonly arise between 4-7 days after birth. Sometimes, exclusive or any amount of breastfeeding is not always possible, despite the mother's best intentions. This can understandably cause them to feel a lot of guilt and disappointment as a new mother. Physicians should provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for the parents to openly discuss their difficulties while educating them on proper latching techniques and other alternatives for breastfeeding.Conclusion: Now we conclude our episode number 131 “Breastfeeding Part 2.” Aruna and Lia explained that the American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends continued breastfeeding until 2 years or as long as the mother and the baby desire it. It is important to remember some contraindications such as babies with galactosemia, mothers who are using illicit drugs, and some maternal infections such as HIV, untreated brucellosis, and Ebola virus. This week we thank Hector Arreaza, Aruna Sridharan, and Lia Khachikyan.

In our society, depression is still taboo; talking about it usually has a negative connotation, as if it were something that only affected "weird" people. But the reality is that it's a common mental health condition that touches people of all ages and backgrounds—including us. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 264 million people worldwide suffer from depression (in Latin America, depression affects an estimated 5.8% of the population). Depression can cause a range of symptoms, including sadness, loss of interest in activities, changes in appetite or sleep patterns, and difficulty concentrating. It can also increase the risk of suicide. That's precisely why we should talk about it; depression is treatable with the right care. In this episode of the podcast, we open our hearts to talk about our experience dealing with this condition, sharing our thoughts and approaches to solving it. Because, yes, seeking help from a mental health professional or a support group, exercising, eating better, cutting down on alcohol, meditating, and being in nature, can make a significant difference in managing symptoms and improving overall well-being.If you're suffering from depression, don't be afraid to speak up and ask for help. We provided organizations and contact lines below. Remember, life can be beautiful and this too shall pass. (Disclaimer: we are not doctors.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (03/06/2023): 3:05pm- According to The New York Post's Miranda Devine, “[n]ew emails uncovered by House Republicans probing the COVID-19 pandemic reveal the deceptive nature of Dr. Anthony Fauci.” In early 2020, Fauci commissioned a paper to “disprove the theory that the virus leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China.” You can read the opinion editorial here: https://nypost.com/2023/03/05/new-emails-show-fauci-commissioned-paper-to-disprove-wuhan-lab-leak-theory/ 3:30pm- Appearing on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo, Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) addressed allegations that Dr. Anthony—as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease—pushed researchers to disprove the laboratory leak theory. Rep. Jordan called for greater transparency immediately. 3:40pm- While speaking with Margaret Brennan, former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb said, “I think we should work under the assumption that there is a probability [the COVID-19 pandemic] was a lab leak…we ought to look into outlawing that kind of research…or conduct it in… high security labs.” 3:50pm- Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Fox News' Shannon Bream that he has no doubt that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory leak in Wuhan, China and accused Dr. Anthony Fauci of being “complicit” in its cover-up. 4:05pm- Speaking at the 2023 Conservative Political Action Coalition (CPAC) taking place outside of Washington, D.C., former President Donald Trump referred to the World Health Organization (WHO) as “We Hide Outbreaks.” Trump also told members of the press that China needs to be held accountable for the COVID-19 outbreak, accusing China of costing the world economy an estimated $50 trillion in economic growth. 4:10pm- On Sunday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis spoke at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Ventura, California. During his speech, in front of a packed crowd, Gov. DeSantis criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom, Disney, and woke ideology. 4:15pm- Former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley spoke at the 2023 Conservative Political Action Coalition (CPAC) taking place outside of Washington, D.C. over the weekend. Her speech was not well attended—is she just campaigning to be the eventual Republican Presidential nominee's Vice President? 4:35pm- According to The New York Post, the Minnesota Department of Human Rights has ordered USA Powerlifting to permit biological males who identify as female to compete in the women's division. 4:55pm- New York City Mayor Eric Adams is now telling citizens to remove their face masks when entering a store—in hopes of cracking down on shoplifting. 5:05pm- The Drive at 5: According to a report from Ari Blaff at National Review, “Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) staff attorney Thomas Jurgens was among the dozens of rioters arrested following a violent attack on police at the proposed site of the Atlanta Police Foundation's training facility, located a few miles south of the city.” The Southern Poverty Law Center is notorious for inaccurately labeling mundane conservative organizations as dangerous, hate groups. You can read the report at: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/dozens-arrested-for-attacking-cops-with-molotov-cocktails-bricks-at-atlanta-training-facility/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=breaking&utm_campaign=newstrack&utm_term=30748108 5:20pm- In response to Hershey's decision to go “woke”, The Daily Wire has released its own brand of chocolate and has already sold over 300,000 candy bars in the first 36-hours of their release. 5:35pm- According to reports, author R.L. Stine intends to edit his “Goosebump” books to have more inclusive language. 5:40pm- Comedian Chris Rock addressed Will Smith's 2022 Oscars slap during a live Netflix stand-up special on Saturday. 6:05pm- A New York Times opinion editorial by David Wallace-Wells theorizes that “we've been talking about the lab-leak hypothesis all wrong.” Wallace-Wells writes, “if you had been told, back in 2019, that this would be the state of knowledge in 2023, would it not seem extremely weird to you that there has not been a broad public conversation about the wisdom of potentially dangerous virological research in the meantime? That so much more oxygen had been eaten up by partisan theater than by public debate over the policy implications of such a possibility?... The boundaries of mainstream discourse have suggested that we should resolve the matter of pandemic origins before moving on to the implications of the lab-leak hypothesis. But this has proved a paralyzing standard.” You can read the editorial here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/28/opinion/lab-leak-energy-department-covid.html 6:30pm- A New York Times opinion-columnist says he can no longer enjoy McDonald's because his socio-economic status has changed after attending Yale—and, consequently, fast food is now beneath him. 6:45pm- Russell Brand accuses MSNBC of bias while on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher.

Nearly a year ago, Crosstalk conducted several interviews with multiple guests about a very dangerous World Health Organization -WHO- pandemic treaty that would require the U.S. to surrender its sovereignty to this organization. President Biden had offered various amendments to the WHO's International Health Regulations, but fortunately, all 13 failed. Crosstalk warned listeners that this was only a pause in their efforts. This program is our way of letting you know that the pause has ended and the WHO is meeting right now, discussing more radical amendments.--Returning to Crosstalk to bring the latest details on the WHO's efforts was Mat Staver. Mat is the founder - chairman of Liberty Counsel. Mat is a constitutional attorney with three landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. He is an author and the host of the radio broadcasts Faith - Freedom and Freedom's Call.--President Biden is supporting amendments to what's called the International Health Regulations. George W. Bush was actually the one who signed the U.S. on to this in 2005. He used the fact that we were a member of the WHO as the reason to sign on to this international health agreement and he bypassed Congress to do so. The amendments at that time were merely recommendations and not binding. The new amendments being proposed, which President Biden wants to sign off on with his pen and again bypass Congress, would change the WHO from a recommendation agency to a binding legal authority on all member nations.--This would allow the WHO the ability to use mandatory global authority to regulate everything that they deem to be within the realm of public health.

This Friday will mark a year since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. For the World Health Organization (WHO), providing humanitarian support is the key priority during conflicts and other crises, said Dr. Jarno Habicht, the agency's representative in the country. Ahead of the grim anniversary, he spoke to UN News's Andrei Muchnik about WHO's ongoing operations amid missile and drone attacks, and how many local colleagues “have lost everything except their work”. Dr. Habicht began by explaining what initially brought him to Ukraine. 

The Biden administration is preparing to sign up the United States to a “legally binding” accord with the World Health Organization (WHO) that would give the Geneva-based United Nations health agency the authority to dictate America's policies during a pandemic. Epoch Times business reporter Kevin Stocklin tells NTD's Stefania Cox that the Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness, and Response Accord would damage personal sovereignty and civil rights. NATO's chief said on Feb. 23 that the military alliance has seen “some signs” that China may be planning to support Russia in its war in Ukraine. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is reportedly considering declassifying and releasing intelligence about the issue. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which rules China as a single-party state, has not yet provided Russia with direct military aid but also has not ruled such contribution out. A preliminary report was issued by the National Transportation Security Board (NTSB) on the Norfolk Southern freight train carrying toxic chemicals that derailed this month in East Palestine, Ohio. It suggests that a wheel bearing was nearing overheat failure before the train went off the rails. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg made a visit to the derailment site and admitted that he took too long to respond. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

The Biden administration is in the process of finalizing a deal that would give the World Health Organization (WHO) near-total authority to dictate America's policies during a pandemic. Once this “legally binding” deal goes into effect, it will give the World Health Organization—the United Nations's health agency based in Geneva—the authority to control what U.S. policies are during a pandemic. And so, while the W.H.O. has been up until now an advisory body in Europe that U.S. officials in the CDC and the FDA can turn to for advice, it would instead become the ones to actually determine which policies the United States implements, like vaccine policies, lockdown policies, school closure policies, the contact tracing of U.S. citizens, and even the monitoring of online speech if that speech goes against the official narrative. ⭕️ Sign up for our NEWSLETTER and stay in touch

So does the World Health Organization (WHO) and the New England Journal of Medicine. Covid-19 vaccination is not 100% risk free but evidence to date has shown that the benefits far outweigh the risks.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (02/21/2023): 3:05pm- On Saturday night, Temple University police Officer Christopher Fitzgerald was shot to death while responding to a robbery at 17th Street and West Montgomery Avenue, according to 6ABC News. Chad Pradelli and Sharifa Jackson report that the alleged shooter “stood over [Officer Fitzgerald] and shot him several more times in the head while he was on the ground.” The alleged shooter is being held without bail—he was arrested in 2021 for making a terroristic bomb threat. 3:15pm- While addressing the shooting death of Temple University police officer Christopher Fitzgerald, Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney bizarrely compared the sale of alcohol to the sale of firearms—ultimately blaming the loose interpretations of the 2nd Amendment for violence throughout the city. 3:25pm- During a Tuesday press conference, Philadelphia May Jim Kenney stated: “You can say you back the blue, but if you don't back gun control…you don't back the blue.” 3:40pm- New Jersey State Senator Ed Durr joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the unmitigated violence in neighboring Philadelphia, the benefits of nuclear power, and the danger of sonar surveys for wind turbine construction off the coast of New Jersey which may be the cause of a suddenly massive number of whales being beached and killed. 4:05pm- New Jersey State Senator Ed Durr wraps up his segment with Rich—advocating on behalf of parents' rights and protecting young children from explicit subject matters being discussed in some public school classrooms. 4:10pm- Why do whales flee from sonar? And why are only Republicans interested in protecting endangered whales who keep washing up along the New Jersey shore? New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy seems to be prioritizing a potential run for president over protecting marine life. 4:30pm- On Tuesday, President Joe Biden spoke from Warsaw, Poland on the one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Biden emphasized that no one is seeking to control Russia—and earlier this week, he pledged to continue to support Ukraine for “as long as it takes.” 4:35pm- Chinese leader Xi Jinping is planning to meet with Russian leader Vladmir Putin in Moscow in the coming months—alarmingly, China is expected to begin supporting the Russian military with lethal military aid. The war between Russia and Ukraine suddenly seems to be escalating. While appearing on CBS News, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Chinese military aid to Russia would be a “serious problem” that would impact America's relationship with China moving forward. 5:05pm- Dr. Victoria Coates—former Deputy National Security Advisor & Senior Fellow at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Biden Administration potentially giving the World Health Organization (WHO) authority over future United States pandemic policies. Dr. Coates also discusses reports that Chinese leader Xi Jinping is planning to meet with Russian leader Vladmir Putin in Moscow—alarmingly, China is expected to begin supporting the Russian military with lethal military aid. How could this impact America's involvement in the Russia-Ukraine War? 5:35pm- While appearing on MSNBC with Mehdi Hasan, progressive commentator Wajahat Ali used racist and derogatory language when talking about Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley. 5:50pm- According to a new NPR report, many Americans are putting pickles on their pizza. 6:05pm- According to a CNN report from Sean Lyngaas, “[t]he US military's Special Operations Command says it is investigating a report from a cybersecurity researcher that the command was leaking a trove of unclassified email data on the internet.” 6:10pm- Brittany Bernstein of National Review reports that the House Oversight Committee is in the process of investigating business ties between former president of the U.N. General Assembly Vuk Jeremic and the Biden family. 6:20pm- Is Temple University's campus safe? 6:30pm- Who Won Social Media? Is this the first time someone has won twice in one day? 6:35pm- In a new editorial, Reason's Jacob Sullum writes that Facebook “slapped a warning on a column” he wrote where he “criticized the CDC for exaggerating the evidence supporting mask mandates.”

he World Health Organization (WHO) may soon have the authority to decide how the United States handles pandemics. Negotiations are currently underway on a deal, where the United States could grant the WHO a new special authority. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden has appointed Susan Rice as the chair of a new “White House Steering Committee on Equity,” which will create sweeping programs throughout the federal government to create “equitable outcomes.” In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp, we'll discuss these stories and others, and answer questions from the audience. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

I open today with what I believe is the single most important news item of the day, one where I doubt the Legacy/mainstream media will utter much about it. Now, with everything that has taken place over the weekend through today you might think, well, that could any of a number of stories. And, you would be correct. To open, we turn back to last week, when President Biden is committing billions more of tax payer dollars to fund Ukrainian pensions so people can have money in their pockets. I'm not making that up, folks. Our own Social Security and Medicare systems are insolvent in their current forms, and our Commander-in-Chief wants to make sure we give Ukrainians money in their pocket. Biden spokesperson, John Kirby, appeared on Fox News Sunday and said he doesn't know when the funding will stop. He just wants us to keep funding Ukraine for as long as it takes. Now, China and Germany are joining in with Russia in demanding an investigation into Biden's connections with the Nord Stream 2 pipeline sabotage. When an ally and member of the EU is siding with Russia and China in seeing if our President committed a high-crime, that's newsworthy. An act of war committed without consultation and approval of Congress is the very definition of an impeachable offense! But, that is not the top story of the day. A computer programmer is testifying before the Arizona Senate Election Committee about voting machine manipulation and how easy it is, that is also worthy of some coverage, but you probably haven't heard. This democrat programmer used to work for NASA, the DoD and other defense agencies testified before Congress as far back as 2007 about the dangers of trusting computer code driven voting machines. Axios is reporting that Speaker Kevin McCarthy has turned over 41,000 of Capitol footage to Tucker Carlson so his team can begin reviewing what the J6 Committee wanted sealed for decades. Some are complaining that the footage needs to be released publicly to the world, but, for now, I'm content to see what happens next. To go along with that, court documents and video have also been released showing plainclothes officers pushing the crowd forward and climbing a barricade on January 6. But, that is not the big news story of the day! The single biggest story of the day is the Biden Administration is preparing to sign up the United States to a "legally binding" accord with the World Health Organization (WHO) that would give this Geneva-based UN subsidiary the authority to dictate America's policies during a pandemic. You read that correctly. The elected leader of our country is preparing to abdicate his role and turn over our nation's sovereignty to a foreign entity. In my estimation, there is yet another impeachable offense if this goes through. As a call to action, we must all reach out to our elected representatives and find out how to put a stop to this. Finally, we get another healthy heaping of word salad to digest. Yes, we close with another episode of Deep Thoughts with VP Kamala Harris. The fact that Biden should be impeached is no longer in doubt. But, we must also understand, if removed, Harris gets to finish out his term. We want to laugh, but we also want to cry.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the World Health Organization (WHO) are setting the stage for the next pandemic. And this time, they plan to establish a global communist superstate. The WHO is a puppet of the CCP and is stacked with active and loyal communists. It is currently instituting various regulations to bypass national sovereignty and take control in the next public health crisis. They will use this to push the world even further under socialist control. To fight against a worldwide communist takeover in the next pandemic, we must resist mandates and lockdowns and oppose our governments belonging to the World Health Organization. We must use our voices to expose the truth about the WHO and pressure our politicians to get out before it is too late. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 12 billion workdays are lost annually due to depression and anxiety costing the global economy nearly US $1 trillion.    What is your organization doing to accommodate the needs of workers with mental health conditions? Mental health is becoming more and more of a focus for many people as they become more aware of its role in their overall health. However, beyond the remaining stigma for mental health, some do not give it the priority it deserves—mental healthcare is treated more as a response rather than a preventative practice.  We tend to forgo mental healthcare practices until we encounter stressors or challenges in our lives. But just like how we regularly exercise and maintain healthy diets for our bodies, our minds also require good habits to stay healthy. So, what can we do to put more preventative mental self-care methods into our lives?  Our guest today is Dr. Kensa Gunter of Gunter Psychological Services. She is a renowned Clinical and Sport Psychologist (CMPC) based in Atlanta, Georgia, with a mission to humanize mental health and performance discussions while reducing stigma in the world of sports. She is the Director of the NBA Mind Health, an initiative focusing on the league's mental health and wellness. She has also served as the immediate Past President of the Association for Applied Sport Psychology and membership in the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee's External Mental Health Taskforce, demonstrating her commitment to advancing mental health initiatives on a larger scale.  Join us as Dr. Gunter talks about how we can improve our care for ourselves and, in turn, our performance.  Key Points:  We should humanize the discussion surrounding mental health and performance in any context. There is no such thing as a quick fix regarding mental health and performance. It takes commitment and consistent maintenance We should maintain our mental health through healthy habits and preventative measures like (1) proper sleep, (2) movement, (3) social support, (4) mindfulness, and (5) activities that help us disconnect from noise and connect with the moment.  Episode Highlights  [01:34] Introducing Dr. Kensa Gunter  [05:38] The stigma surrounding mental healthcare   [07:05] Dr. Gunter's current roles and passions  [14:19] How Dr. Gunter developed her passion for mental health [20:07] How Dr. Gunter responded to the hardship she experienced [23:50] Dr. Gunter on humanizing the discussions in the overlapping circles of mental health, performance, wellness, culture, and sports [30:23] Humanity as the center of Dr. Gunter's philosophy of high-performance [35:05] How Dr. Gunter helps individuals who are having difficulty reaching their desired level of performance [41:53] The “Quick Fix” misconception about sports psychology [45:30] The difference between mental health and mental performance [50:09] On how to further reduce the stigma about mental health [54:38] How a leader can balance challenge and support for their team [59:59] Strategies individuals can do to maintain their mental health.

Michelle and Liz are joined in this episode by Marianne Jones, to discuss why so many women burn out during midlife, which is exactly what happened to Marianne. She is an award-winning editor, writer, podcaster, and brand & content director who works with the nation's biggest newspapers and magazines. About 18 months ago, Marianne ended up in A&E and was told she needed to take a significant period off work to recover from burnout. It was tough to do, but the change resulted in a more balanced and positive way of living and has created new opportunities. Midlife burnout is becoming increasingly common, particularly for women. To the point where the World Health Organization (WHO) has now recognised the issue. Marianne talks about what happened to her, and how working from home and letting work define who she was contributed to the situation. She also shares the steps she has taken to recover and build a more balanced life. KEY TAKEAWAYS  The lines between work and home have become increasingly blurred, making it harder to switch off. Being constantly stretched and frenetically busy takes a huge toll on your physical health. Being tired but so wired you can´t fall asleep is a big warning sign. If people around you notice changes in your behaviour or worry you are too stressed, listen to them. It is OK to stop and take a break. In fact, it is essential. Throughout the day decompress, Marianne shares several ways to do that. Midlife is a good time to pause, take stock, and start to do things differently. Don´t miss out on the chance to take some of the pressure off and enjoy life more. BEST MOMENTS  “Covid has blurred the lines a lot between home and work life.” “Your body just cannot cope, at this stage of life, with what your mind is going through.” “It just felt like I had woken up one day having been flung off a fairground ride onto a sofa with hypertension and the Cockapoo.” “You're still using your skills and abilities, but just not doing so much.” If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, and review it on your podcast platform.  We read every email sent to us at twowomenchatting@gmail.com so please get in touch!

We talk about real concerns, issues, and fun topics that affect us, our friends, and our family.  Midlife is not just about the menopause (although we'd be the first to admit it's right up there!) but it is a time of adventure, change and reset - with plenty of opportunities and challenges along the way.  Whether we're chatting about ‘boomerang kids,' diet failures (and occasional successes!), pro-ageing, travel, changing relationships, or inspiration for new jobs or activities, there's always room for one more on our sofa.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), depression could be one of the top health concerns in the world by the year 2030. Our emotions and moods affect everything in life: our productivity and focus at our jobs or school, in our social lives, and with our relationships we have with our family, friends, classmates, co-workers. Are you someone who struggles with moods? Do you consider yourself “overly emotional”? Does being on an “emotional rollercoaster” resonate for you or someone you love? Tune-in today to learn about what's going on in your body biochemically and how real food nutrition can help you feel better.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 1 in 3 women are involved in a domestically abusive (violent) relationship. When Laura got married at a young age, she never dreamed she would be one of those women. Unfortunately her marriage turned violent and abusive quickly. Many of us might think it would be easy to just pack up and leave, but as Laura tells her story you realize it's not and that it becomes a cycle that is very difficult to break away from. And when she stopped at a garage sale in Phoenix, AZ, she realized first hand the power of answered prayers and that despite all she had endured, there truly is a God and he is listening. www.truthtalks.comCopyright 2023, Truth Talks Media LLC.

An update on the situation in Turkey & Syria: https://www.theepochtimes.com/earthquake-death-toll-crosses-5000-as-turkey-experiences-285-aftershocks_5039212.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport&src_src=partner&src_cmp=BonginoReport Earthquake Death Toll Passes 7,200 as Turkey Experiences 285 Aftershocks The death toll from the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria have exceeded 7,200, with thousands more injured, infrastructure crumbling, and rescue groups struggling to bring aid to the victims. In Turkey, at least 5,434 people are confirmed dead. In Syria, state news agency SANA reported at least 1,832 deaths. Combined, at least 7,266 people have died in Turkey and Syria. In total, at least 3,749 people are estimated to have been injured in Syria. Turkey’s injured are estimated to be over 30,000. The World Health Organization (WHO) warned that the death toll could rise to around 20,000 in the coming days. The first quake, with an epicenter in the Pazarcik district of Turkey’s southern Province, had a magnitude of 7.8. A second quake of 7.6 magnitude hit the same region nine hours later, worsening the situation. Turkey experienced 285 aftershocks. U.S. President Joe Biden “noted that U.S. teams are deploying quickly to support Turkish search and rescue efforts and coordinate other assistance that may be required by people affected by the earthquakes, including health services or basic relief items,” a readout of Biden’s conversation with Turkish President on Jan. 6 said. The earthquakes have caused widespread devastation in Turkey. A video shared on Twitter shows innumerable buildings turned to rubble, with only a few tall buildings still standing. Another video shows a building crashing down while people run for safety. In Turkey’s southern region, which is home to some of the worst-hit cities, damaged roads and poor internet connections are hampering rescue attempts. In some places, freezing winter weather is also posing a challenge. Families were forced to sleep in cars lined up in the streets. Families wrapped themselves in blankets and gathered around fires to keep themselves warm. The Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency of Turkey (AFAD) is said to have deployed 13,740 search and rescue personnel as well as over 300,000 blankets, 100,000 beds, and 41,000 tents to the region. According to Organ Tatar, an official from AFAD, 5,775 buildings have been destroyed by the quake. “The infrastructure is damaged, the roads that we used to use for humanitarian work are damaged, we have to be creative in how to get to the people … but we are working hard,” U.N. resident coordinator -told Reuters. The earthquake on Monday is Turkey’s deadliest since a quake of similar magnitude hit the country in 1999 and killed over 17,000 people. https://www.dailyfetched.com/massive-human-trafficking-bust-sees-368-arrested-131-rescued-in-california-2/ Massive Human Trafficking Bust Sees 368 Arrested, 131 Rescued in California Three hundred sixty-eight people have been arrested, and 131 victims rescued in large-scale human trafficking operation by a multi-agency task force in California. Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Chief Michel Moore said: “We know that the sex trade is a prolific one that exists throughout this state and throughout our nation.” “It’s an ugly scar against this great country that exists too oftentimes in plain sight,” he added. Operation Reclaim and Rebuild occurred between Jan. 22 and Jan. 28 in nine counties, including Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino, Kiro7 reported. Various federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies teamed up for the effort, including the LAPD, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. Victims of human trafficking, including ages ranging from 13 to 52, including children. Investigators worked with victim advocacy groups to provide resources “to help [victims] escape from this life-threatening environment,” he said. Investigators responded to advertisements offering sexual services and visited massage parlors suspected of being involved in sex trafficking. Among those arrested included pimps and panderers, Moore said. The victims, most of whom were kidnapped, face “threat of death” or coercion and are isolated from their former support to become dependent on the trafficker, Moore added. https://thepostmillennial.com/death-tourism-oregon-becomes-national-destination-for-assisted-suicide?utm_campaign=64487 'Death tourism': Oregon becomes national destination for assisted suicide Individuals residing in states that outlaw euthanasia, such as Texas, have started traveling to Oregon to gain assistance in their suicide, making the state the first "death tourism" destination in the US. According to the Daily Mail, Dr. Nicholas Gideonse, the director of End of Life Choices Oregon, recently admitted to assisting a man from Texas with Lou Gehrig's disease who came to the doctor's Portland clinic in achieving suicide and said that "for a small number of patients who otherwise qualify or are determined to go through that and who have the energy and the resources … it has started to happen." According to Oregon's official website, the state passed its Death with Dignity Act in 1997, "which allows terminally ill individuals to end their lives through the voluntary self-administration of lethal medications, expressly prescribed by a physician for that purpose." The law enabled terminally ill patients expected to die within six months to request fatal drugs from doctors that the patient then takes and self-administers. In 2021, 238 people committed suicide via the program, and 383 doses of fatal drugs were prescribed by doctors. There was originally a restriction for people out-of-state but in 2021 Dr. Gideonse sued Oregon to lift the restriction, which was granted in 2022. Currently, if a resident from another state wants to go to Oregon for the fatal drugs, they are placed on a 15-day waiting period. In that time paperwork is processed and two doctors along with witnesses must sign off on the request for suicide by prescription. The expansion of Death with Dignity to out-of-staters is not yet law in Oregon but is expected to be codified this year with House Bill 2279. The law resembles Canada's state-sponsored euthanasia program known as medical assistance in dying (MAiD), originally intended for those with physical illnesses where death was a reasonable inevitability although it has been amended to allow those with mental health issues to apply. Dr. Gideonse's original lawsuit was over neighboring residents of Washington who wanted suicide drugs and has expanded to residents from further states, including those with strict laws against euthanasia. The executive director of the Patients Rights Action Fund, a group pushing back against Oregon's law, Matt Vallière, said "You end up in this Wild West scenario where people take the drugs back to their home states, and there are a lot more questions than there are answers about what would happen after that." Dr. Gideonse, who also has campaigned for legalizing psilocybin to treat depression, has connections with the Compassion & Choices group which "grew out of the 1980s right-to-die movement of the Hemlock Society and Jack Kevorkian — the pathologist and notorious 'Dr Death' who assisted scores of suicides and was ultimately convicted of murder," reports the Daily Mail.

The study reviewed 78 randomized control trials—experiments that have long been considered "the gold standard" for medicine—which assessed the effectiveness of face masks against flu, COVID-19, and similar illnesses. It found that wearing masks "probably makes little or no difference" for the general public, no matter what kind of mask is used. Even N95 masks, considered the most effective at filtering airborne particles, showed no clear benefit for health care workers. The study was published on January 30 by the Cochrane Library, a world-renowned medical database that is famous for its high-quality evidence reviews. It comes as a battering ram to the recommendations of the U.S. public health establishment, which urged children as young as two to wear masks throughout the pandemic. https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/person-stuck-on-the-side-of-downtown-phoenix-building-says-phoenix-fire-dept 'Pro-life Spiderman' taken into custody after scaling former Chase tower in Phoenix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcaLtpAM0fE - Play 0:00-1:22 And that’s your news for today…

An update on the situation in Turkey & Syria: https://www.theepochtimes.com/earthquake-death-toll-crosses-5000-as-turkey-experiences-285-aftershocks_5039212.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport&src_src=partner&src_cmp=BonginoReport Earthquake Death Toll Passes 7,200 as Turkey Experiences 285 Aftershocks The death toll from the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria have exceeded 7,200, with thousands more injured, infrastructure crumbling, and rescue groups struggling to bring aid to the victims. In Turkey, at least 5,434 people are confirmed dead. In Syria, state news agency SANA reported at least 1,832 deaths. Combined, at least 7,266 people have died in Turkey and Syria. In total, at least 3,749 people are estimated to have been injured in Syria. Turkey’s injured are estimated to be over 30,000. The World Health Organization (WHO) warned that the death toll could rise to around 20,000 in the coming days. The first quake, with an epicenter in the Pazarcik district of Turkey’s southern Province, had a magnitude of 7.8. A second quake of 7.6 magnitude hit the same region nine hours later, worsening the situation. Turkey experienced 285 aftershocks. U.S. President Joe Biden “noted that U.S. teams are deploying quickly to support Turkish search and rescue efforts and coordinate other assistance that may be required by people affected by the earthquakes, including health services or basic relief items,” a readout of Biden’s conversation with Turkish President on Jan. 6 said. The earthquakes have caused widespread devastation in Turkey. A video shared on Twitter shows innumerable buildings turned to rubble, with only a few tall buildings still standing. Another video shows a building crashing down while people run for safety. In Turkey’s southern region, which is home to some of the worst-hit cities, damaged roads and poor internet connections are hampering rescue attempts. In some places, freezing winter weather is also posing a challenge. Families were forced to sleep in cars lined up in the streets. Families wrapped themselves in blankets and gathered around fires to keep themselves warm. The Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency of Turkey (AFAD) is said to have deployed 13,740 search and rescue personnel as well as over 300,000 blankets, 100,000 beds, and 41,000 tents to the region. According to Organ Tatar, an official from AFAD, 5,775 buildings have been destroyed by the quake. “The infrastructure is damaged, the roads that we used to use for humanitarian work are damaged, we have to be creative in how to get to the people … but we are working hard,” U.N. resident coordinator -told Reuters. The earthquake on Monday is Turkey’s deadliest since a quake of similar magnitude hit the country in 1999 and killed over 17,000 people. https://www.dailyfetched.com/massive-human-trafficking-bust-sees-368-arrested-131-rescued-in-california-2/ Massive Human Trafficking Bust Sees 368 Arrested, 131 Rescued in California Three hundred sixty-eight people have been arrested, and 131 victims rescued in large-scale human trafficking operation by a multi-agency task force in California. Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Chief Michel Moore said: “We know that the sex trade is a prolific one that exists throughout this state and throughout our nation.” “It’s an ugly scar against this great country that exists too oftentimes in plain sight,” he added. Operation Reclaim and Rebuild occurred between Jan. 22 and Jan. 28 in nine counties, including Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino, Kiro7 reported. Various federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies teamed up for the effort, including the LAPD, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. Victims of human trafficking, including ages ranging from 13 to 52, including children. Investigators worked with victim advocacy groups to provide resources “to help [victims] escape from this life-threatening environment,” he said. Investigators responded to advertisements offering sexual services and visited massage parlors suspected of being involved in sex trafficking. Among those arrested included pimps and panderers, Moore said. The victims, most of whom were kidnapped, face “threat of death” or coercion and are isolated from their former support to become dependent on the trafficker, Moore added. https://thepostmillennial.com/death-tourism-oregon-becomes-national-destination-for-assisted-suicide?utm_campaign=64487 'Death tourism': Oregon becomes national destination for assisted suicide Individuals residing in states that outlaw euthanasia, such as Texas, have started traveling to Oregon to gain assistance in their suicide, making the state the first "death tourism" destination in the US. According to the Daily Mail, Dr. Nicholas Gideonse, the director of End of Life Choices Oregon, recently admitted to assisting a man from Texas with Lou Gehrig's disease who came to the doctor's Portland clinic in achieving suicide and said that "for a small number of patients who otherwise qualify or are determined to go through that and who have the energy and the resources … it has started to happen." According to Oregon's official website, the state passed its Death with Dignity Act in 1997, "which allows terminally ill individuals to end their lives through the voluntary self-administration of lethal medications, expressly prescribed by a physician for that purpose." The law enabled terminally ill patients expected to die within six months to request fatal drugs from doctors that the patient then takes and self-administers. In 2021, 238 people committed suicide via the program, and 383 doses of fatal drugs were prescribed by doctors.

As the World Health Organization (WHO) reveals, people aged 60 and over will make a massive impact in just 35 years - from only 12% to 22%.  With so many countries having to face up to this colossal shift in their health services' longevity planning, they are turning tech-savvy. From AI robots that can interact more like humans than ever before, populations globally may find themselves facing far fewer issues associated with aging as healthcare gets smarter too! Prepare to get all the tech-know about Nurse Innovation, Robotics style! We've got Pamela Cacchione, PhD., RN., FAAN, with us on This Is Getting Old: Moving Towards an Age-Friendly World - and she's ready to show you how healthcare can be taken up a notch. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Achieving Amazing Possibilities: Combining Hearing, Vision and Robotics     Pamela Cacchione, PhD, RN, FAAN, believes that improving vision and hearing directly impacts older adults' cognitive impairment and mortality risk. Sensory impairment has become a significant contributor to healthy aging.  Pam made connections with engineers at the University of Pennsylvania and has become a human factors researcher with the interaction of technology, robotics, older adults and how to design robots for older adults based on her expertise in sensory impairment.   ✔️ How Has It Been Working With Engineers? Get inspiration from Pam as she shares how working with the engineers has been a great experience. She said they managed to bridge the gap between clinical and mathematical equations on multiple occasions.  Moreover, despite their different areas of expertise, they have come together and created a shared understanding and language that helps them coordinate efficiently in solving problems.  ✔️ Robots, and How They Help Older Adults:
