Realfoodology

Welcome to the Realfoodology podcast with your host me, Courtney Swan! I’m an Integrative Nutritionist living in LA on a mission to change the way we eat in America.  Each week I’ll be talking to doctors, food experts and health professionals to bring you the best info so you can thrive. Somewhere along the way, we lost sight of how powerful our food choices are. But it’s never too late to start.  You’d be so surprised how resilient our bodies are when we start taking care of them.  Trust me, I know it’s overwhelming.  Thats why I’m here.  I’m going to break it down with you, make it more digestible and easier to navigate.  Let’s get back to real food!

    Are Vaccines ‘Safe & Effective’? The Legal Debate | Aaron Siri

    280: Today I’m joined by Aaron Siri, Managing Partner of the law firm Siri & Glimstad LLP and a leading voice in the vaccine safety movement. He takes an evidence-based approach to the world of vaccinology, and is presenting a practical look at why vaccines have become more like religion than science. You may recognize him from the documentary “An Inconvenient Study” produced by Del Big Tree and the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) - now Aaron is answering questions about lawsuits over vaccine safety and whether we can legally consider these doses “safe and effective.”  

    Topics Discussed:

    → What is the latest litigation over vaccine safety? 

    → Why are there so few studies on vaccines' long term effects? 

    → What does the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 actually mean for pharmaceutical companies’ liability and protection?

    → How has public trust in vaccines shifted? 

    → Should the government be involved with vaccine regulations?

    The Chemical Crisis in Our Food & Water - And What I’m Doing About It | Solo

    → What are PFAs and why are they dangerous?

    → How are PFAs contaminating our food and water supply?

    → What did the recent EPA regulations change?

    “Vaccine Safety Studies Don’t Exist” - The Myth of Safe & Effective | Del Bigtree

    275: Del Bigtree is an Emmy Award-winning producer and a leading voice in the anti-vax movement as the founder of ICAN (Informed Consent Action Network). His latest documentary, An Inconvenient Study, reveals the shocking truth about unpublished research from Henry Ford Health - and why a study like this has never been done before. I’ve been telling everyone to watch this film - what Del discovered is eye-opening, and more people (especially new parents) need to hear this right now. 

    Topics Discussed:

    → Are vaccines actually “safe and effective”?

    → Why are there no long-term safety studies on childhood vaccines?

    → What did the Henry Ford Health vaccine study reveal - and why wasn’t it published?

    → How are cancer drugs tested more thoroughly than childhood vaccines?

    → Why does Del Bigtree say being pro-vaccine is actually anti-science?
