You can look forward to several highly interesting podcasts. Last month, we went on a 12-day tour in USA where we interviewed 11 people and filmed them in cinema quality. Here is an overview, with the locations:
Chicago, Professor Charles Bennett. Saved the lives of thousands of Americans when he showed that EPO kills cancer patients with anaemia, but he was treated very badly by his university, which received money from Amgen, the manufacturer. There is a book about this affair, “Taking on big pharma” by two lawyers, German and LeClercq, and other of Charlie’s revelations, and a movie will be produced.
Chicago, Journalist Huey Freeman. Wrote a much-acclaimed novel, “Judge, jury and executioner” that builds on his own experiences of horrific abuses in psychiatry. He was invited to speak on several prominent national TV talk shows, including twice on the Oprah Winfrey show.
Chicago, Lawyer and Computer Scientist Ryan Horath. Took a deep interest in the Cochrane show trial against against Peter C Gøtzsche and provided brilliant analyses of it, e.g.: “JESUS CHRIST, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE. A researcher is making inquiries about the suppression of information regarding children who died in a clinical trial and everyone is worried about what letterhead it is written on?”
Minneapolis. Drug safety advocate and FDA advisory group member Kim Witczak. Lost her husband to SSRI-induced suicide. She has exposed corruption at the FDA and has worked with senators in Congress to improve on current practices and standards.
Stanford University. Professor John Ioannidis, the world’s most cited medical researcher. Two episodes. 1) Poor medical research and issues with the Cochrane Collaboration. 2) COVID-19, what went wrong and what were the costs of being an honest researcher?
Portland. Specialist in internal medicine John McDougall. The obesity pandemic. Why do we have it and what can we do about it?
Los Angeles. Lawyer Michael Baum. His experience with lawsuits against big pharma, particularly in relation to depression drugs, and the current lawsuit against Merck about serious neurological harms of the HPV vaccines.
Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii. Lawyer Jim Gottstein. Two episodes. 1) His own experience with psychiatry and successful lawsuits on behalf of the patients at the Supreme Court in Alaska. 2) “The Zyprexa papers,” his book about the great personal risk he ran by making public some highly revealing internal documents from Eli Lilly.
Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii. Nancy Rubenstein. Her own experience with horrific abuses in psychiatry, which she has never published before, as she wanted to avoid being re-traumatised.
Chicago. Social worker and drug safety advocate Wendy Dolin. Lost her husband to SSRI-induced suicide when he developed akathisia. Has a charity that works on educating doctors about akathisia, which they were often overlook, even though it is one of the most dangerous harms of psychiatric drugs.
Other episodes
We will also soon bring these episodes, which we have recorded earlier:
Why is mammography screening a bad idea? With Professor emerita Cornelia Baines, University of Toronto, primary investigator in the Canadian National Breast Screening Study.
The rise and demise of the Cochrane Collaboration. Why did the most important organisation in healthcare in the last 100 years collapse? With Science Journalist Alan Cassels, University of Victoria, author of the book, “The Cochrane Collaboration: medicine’s best-kept secret.”
How can patients be safely withdrawn from their psychiatric drugs? With psychiatrist Mark Horowitz, the UK, member of the International Institute for Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal.
