Hard to avoid talking about this at some point because there is so much to dissect regarding leadership of our country during an election year. Also discussed: Biden's Covid diagnosis, the criticism of Trump's role in Operation Warp Speed, and split support in the medical freedom movement for Trump and Kennedy.

This episode was recorded July 20th, 2024. The following day Biden dropped out of the presidential race.

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 episode is an introduction into this subject, covering what's happening and the possibly whys.

What does 18 months with a mysterious, chronic health issue teach you about healing? First, that healing isn't linear. Second, It's a bit of a roller coaster. How are emotions from the past tied into a physical issue you're having today? Mind and body are inextricably intertwined, and healing one always involves the other. Today I give some of my most profound lessons from this challenging time in my life.

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.

Today I finish discussing the recent article written by the new head of the CDC, Dr. Mandy Cohen. Here, I dive into the statistics she cites claiming Americans are on board with interventions for Covid. Shockingly (sarcasm) they are misleading, and even tell a different story. It's interesting what happens when you know how to read the fine print. ;)

Today we talk about an article written in the New York Times by the new head of the CDC, Dr. Mandy Cohen. Dr. Cohen advocates for all Americans 6 months and over to get this season's new booster because "they're safe and they work." The data, however, says otherwise -- as the last few episodes of this podcast have pointed out. In an effort to help you stay informed, I break down what she says, AND what she chooses NOT to say. Part 1 of 2. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melissa-floyd/support

This episode continues where the last one left off reviewing Pfizer's press release for their new booster vaccine. I also go on to discuss the listed side effects, their surprising disclaimer, and the actual study they used to validate this new vaccine. It isn't quite what you think it is.....
