Summary

"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society" -J. Krishnamurti

"Medical science has made such tremendous progress that there is hardly a healthy human left." -Aldous Huxley

"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." -Arthur Schopenhauer

IN THE INTRO:

  • Remembering that radical literally means “back to the root"- what we consider today to be radical health care is actually just our ancestral human biological inheritance

IN THE INTERVIEW:

  • How Dr. Brogan’s own diagnosis, and sitting with the cognitive dissonance that came with it, turned what she had been taught about health and healing on its head
  • Searching for the science that we aren’t given
  • It’s not so much information wars as competing paradigms that are causing the divisions in modern medicine
  • Embracing complexity and critical thinking
  • Psychiatric pharmaceuticals are the most habit-forming substances on the planet (Dr. Brogan hasn’t written a prescription since 2010)
  • Walking away from labels and tapering off psych meds
  • How a diagnosis can act as a hex, or as an opening into a more authentic connection to self
  • The dehumanizing that has to happen when medicine is practiced at scale
  • Suffering ends where meaning begins
  • How the Evolutionary Mismatch between our ancestral human bodies and our modern lives underlies so many physical and mental disorders
  • We have tremendous capacity to change our gene expression
  • Precision and bioindividual (the future of!) medicine v vaccine mandates (everyone gets the same 72 highly complex and inherently risky injections, no matter their individual health profiles)
  • How two of Dr. Brogan’s patients having 2nd trimester stillbirths after receiving the flu shot sent her down the path of 10,000 hours of vaccine research
  • The germ warfare paradigm is the ultimate expression of a control, fear-based paradigm of medicine
  • Creating the conditions that allow people to heal themselves
  • Kelly’s personal experience transforming motherline pain and trauma, and raising her daughters to report only to themselves

IN THE OUTRO:

  • The conversation they are trying to silence is the very conversation we need to be having; the information they are trying to censor is the exact information you need to know
  • The cultural cognitive dissonance wherein we live in a society that censors the hashtag #vaccineinjury while simultaneously paying out $4,182,078,646 through the government run national Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (as of August 2019, link below)
  • Google and social media search censorship
  • Some great accounts, websites, and one podcast for real vaccine information
  • How censorship and vaccine mandates will backfire on the Pharmaceutical industry

It's all meaningful.

Hello friends and welcome to the Medicine Stories podcast where we are remembering what it is to be human upon the earth.

I am your host Amber Magnolia Hill and this is episode 57

an interview with Dr. Kelly Brogan.

0:34.0

At the beginning here, I'm wanting to define a word for you.

0:39.0

This definition has become so central, so foundational to the work that I do. So that's the word

0:47.4

radical. Radical is an adjective that has definitely been applied to Kelly Brogan. It's been applied to me as well.

0:58.0

And you know, we tend to think of it as subversive outside the mainstream, revolutionary maybe. I mean radical, you know what it means.

1:11.1

So the root of this word, I'm looking at etymology online right now, late 14th century in a

1:18.6

medieval philosophical sense from late Latin radicalis of or having roots from Latin radix root meaning

1:31.0

going to the origin essential and some of you might be familiar with

1:35.8

radical as spelled R-A-C-L-E instead of R-A-C-I-C-A-L, that LE spelling literally means root, like the root of a plant.

1:49.2

So what we tend to call or think of as radical today

1:53.4

actually means getting back to the root.

1:56.8

You know, so eating organic food,

1:59.6

having your baby at home

2:01.6

without any medication, breastfeeding, perhaps not vaccinating.

2:08.4

We think of these as radical and yeah they are.

2:11.7

They're going back to the root of humanity to how our species lived for over 99.9% of our history as Homo sapiens on the earth. So just keep that in mind. When you hear

2:27.2
