Today I talk about the recent RFK Jr. Confirmation Hearings for his President-nominated position as the head of HHS. I discuss the Democratic Senators' hyper focus on vaccines, common tactics used in hearings to silence certain voices, and investigate the concept of science ever being "settled."

Another very popular and divisive discussion where any critical thinking is labeled a "conspiracy": weather modification, also known as geoengineering. While not all conspiracies are true, many are simply called conspiracies because they are bringing to light unfavorable things people in high positions are doing. And like other medical interventions we can't easily opt out of, weather modification affects our health. Spraying nanoparticles of metals into the air is not without serious consequences.

This topic is an interesting one! Melatonin use is rather controversial in both the holistic and Western medical world. Previous theories have warned people claiming it would interfere with your body's ability to produce the "hormone" naturally. But data doesn't actually back this theory up. High dose melatonin, which behaves more like a super antioxidant than a hormone, has been used for years to treat severe respiratory infections and even cancer. It may be time to re-evaluate our beliefs on melatonin and see it not as a sleep aid but as an immune powerhouse. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melissa-floyd/support

Today's interview with nurse Danielle was originally recorded summer of 2021.

The focus SHOULD be on preventative care -- behaviors and patterns that keep people from being sick in the first place. That makes them less likely to burden the medical and/or hospital system and also a safer member of society.

New mothers were also not allowed to breastfeed, perhaps the most important action step needed to protect the babies for their growth and development and foundational health.

Today I discuss the recent publication in the scientific journal NATURE that confirms vaccinated people are spreading the Delta variant up to three times more frequently than prior strains. The key finding was that the viral load in infected people was the same between the fully vaccinated and unvaccinated, meaning the ability to infect someone else was equal. This reinforces early theories by scientists around the globe that admitted this vaccine would not be able to stop transmission of SARS-Cov-2. Why is this important? If the main reason behind policy mandates—forcing millions out of their jobs and a right to education—is "public responsibility" to "keep others in the community safe", then this data proves that isn't happening or even possible. 📝 Article: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02187-1 --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melissa-floyd/support

The other possible reaction is, 'These guys don't know what they're talking about...I don't buy it, and I'm gonna look into it myself.' That's what I did.

"The biggest concern I have is we have lost sight of true public health. They've become COVID officers and that's it. And all of the other facets of public health—emotional health, other illnesses, financial health, mental health—all of these things have completely fallen by the wayside. And too many of our public health officers, and CLEARLY our governor, all they care about is Covid." 🗣 Today I talk with Kirk Uhler, a longtime member of the Board of Supervisors for Placer County, CA. Kirk shares the news about being the first county in the state to remove the public health emergency allowing citizens to finally get back to work and back to life. He also talks about a dangerous new proposition on the ballot in November that he thinks is behind the efforts to keep schools closed in California and gives his advice on what residents should do about it. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melissa-floyd/support

"If you're so scared that you expect schools to close because you're a teacher and you're saying you're risking your life if you go back to teaching in a school... then what are you doing leaving your house ever? I sure hope you don't go places. I hope you don't go to the store, I hope you don't go ANYWHERE there are people. Because if this virus is really that deadly, and you think a piece of cloth covering people's faces is going to be the thing that keeps you from getting it, you're delusional. If it's really that scary, you should NEVER leave your house." 🗣 Today is Part 2 of Barry Brownstein's article, "How the Government Sells Fear and Sickness - the Case of the Flu." And at the end, I read a shocking company letter filled with dishonesty and misinformation from a healthcare facility sent to an employee regarding the flu vaccine. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melissa-floyd/support

"Many of us think we know about the flu vaccine. We believe it prevents the flu, or at the very least, reduces complications from the flu, thus reducing deaths. The flu story we THINK we know is not supported by medical evidence. The history of the flu vaccine is a cautionary tale about the crony capitalist rush for a Covid-19 vaccine." 🗣 It's that time of year again. Today I give you some flu shot facts! I also break down a great article (How the Government Sells Fear and Sickness: The Case of the Flu) from Barry Brownstein, professor of economics at the University of Baltimore. He discusses the flu vaccine campaign, how it's aggressively marketed, and how it's based on very weak, even non-existent, science. Brownstein supports his findings with data from Peter Doshi and epidemiologist and Dr. Tom Jefferson. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melissa-floyd/support
