    Justin Goodman - White Coat Waste Project - Uniting Liberty Lovers and Animal Lovers - CHP S2 EP2

    CHP - S2 Ep2 Our Guest today is Justin Goodman. He is the VP of Policy for the White Coat Waste Project. They are a highly effective, non-partisan, advocacy group that is dedicated to ending taxpayer funding for the medical experimentation on animals. If you've not heard of The White Coat Waste Project, you have definitely heard about their work. They were the group that first broke the story know as "Beagle Gate", their research uncovered documents that showed that the US government was involved in gain of function research, and they were one of the first to find official documents that showed that the "Lab Leak Theory," was a real possibility.  In this episode Justin Goodman discusses The White Coat Waste Project's unique approach to advocacy. They unite the Left and the Right, animal lovers and liberty lovers, to end tax payer funded experiments on animals. He explains how US Taxpayers fund over $20 billion each year on animal testing mainly through the NIH. Justin lays out the case why The White Coat Waste Project believes that these type of experiments are in many cases unnecessary, wasteful and causes the suffering of animals for little or no gain in useful information.  If you love animals, if you're concerned about how the government is spending your money, if you want to see lower taxes, then check out this episode and let us know what you think. You can continue this conversation and more like it concerning expanding Liberty and Reducing Unnecessary Suffering over at ChronicallyHuman.Locals.Com  Thanks for listening.  Brad The Chronically Human Podcast

    Thank you for joining us today. My name is Brad Miller and this is The Chronically Human Podcast where we have discussion aimed at creating a better world with more individual freedom and less unnecessary suffering. Our guests today are Brandon Ash and his Mother Ginger Ash.  Brandon has suffered from a severe case of Crohn’s disease for over twenty years, he shares his story about how this terrible disease destroyed his life, how the medical establishment didn’t have the answers to help him and how he got his life back by using Medical Cannabis and Kratom. Ginger shares her story of what its like being a mother with a son with a terrible chronic illness, how painful it was for her to see her son’s life destroyed by it, her original opposition to Brandon when he’d started using Cannabis and how she now will tell anyone who will stand still long enough about her son’s amazing transformation from sick and suffering to being healthier and happier than he’s been in over twenty years.  I really enjoyed the conversation with Brandon and Ginger because it is something I can relate to. I was diagnosed at age 11 with a severe case of Ulcerative Colitis. None of the treatments worked for me so I had to have my entire colon removed. Since then I’ve had multiple surgeries, tens of hospital stays and over a hundred doctors visits. And during the last thirty years my mom has been a huge advocate for me as well.  I exercise my health freedom by using Kratom and CBD oil to help manage my chronic pain. The only Kratom I trust is Urban Ice Organics. I would recommend everyone do their own research to see if its right for you. If you’ve decided to take Kratom you should get the cleanest and highest quality you can find, and for me that’s Urban Ice Organics.

    Chronic Pain, CDC guidelines, and "unintended consequences" - Pat Anson CHPodcast Ep.32

    Pat Anson of The Pain News Network is our guest today.  The Pain News Network is a media outlet that covers the political and personal side of pain. Unfortunately millions of people in America are being undertreated or denied treatment for pain. A big reason for that is the CDC guidelines that came out in 2016. We discuss the origins of those guidelines and also the most recent comments by the FDA and CDC regarding them. Pat and I discuss Medical Marijuana and also Kratom as solutions some people are turning to for pain relief.   Pat had a great point during the conversation : that even if you are not in pain now one day you could be and that makes this an issue that is really important for us all. Check out Pain News Network here: https://www.painnewsnetwork.org  Twitter: @PainNewsNetwork  I exercise my health freedom by using Kratom to help with my chronic pain. After years of research the only brand I trust is Urban Ice Organics. You can find them at https://naturalorganix.com The owners of Urban Ice Organics are the producers of the Documentary “A leaf of Faith” directed by Chris Bell, they are the brand that Chris Bell gave to Joe Rogan during his appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience and they test all their Kratom to ensure there aren’t any heavy metals, salmonella and other adulterants in it. Having been chronically ill all my life I am very cautious about what I put in my body and before I found Urban Ice Organics I was hesitant to try Kratom, not because I thought Kratom was unsafe (according to my research) but because I couldn’t find a reputable source. I thank God I found Urban Ice Organics. You can use the promo code "ChronicallyHuman20" at check out to get 20% at checkout. I urge everyone to do their own research. If you’d like to learn more about my experience with Kratom email me: brad@chronicallyhuman.co  If you’d like to know more about Urban Ice Organics and Kratom please check out The Chronically Human Podcast Ep. 25 when I spoke with the owner, Kelly Dunn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOn-rJeqq0I  CDC Guidelines for 2016: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/65/rr/rr6501e1.htm   CDC comment 4/10/19 (they finally admit there “may” have been unintended consequences) https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/3d70257f-a143-4a5b-b9df-f7d265df0d3d/downloads/Alford%20Final%20.pdf?ver=1554957603807   FDA letter 4/9/19 on Forced Tapers   https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/3d70257f-a143-4a5b-b9df-f7d265df0d3d/downloads/ FDA%20Drug%20Safety%20Communication%20Opioid%20Tapering.pdf?ver=1554957604053  FDA forced Tapers: https://www.painnewsnetwork.org/stories/2019/4/9/fda-warns-about-fast-opioid-tapers   Letter from 300 Health Professionals to the CDC

    The truth about the Opioid Crisis with Josh Bloom CHPodcast Ep. 31

    Josh Bloom is researcher, journalist, scientist and President of the American Council on Science and Health, which describes itself as a pro-science consumer advocacy group that goes after what they think is bad science. Josh and I don’t agree on many issues but we do agree that the government’s response to the so-called opioid crisis has left millions of people in chronic pain suffering unnecessarily.  Josh has done a lot of great work debunking the CDC’s numbers relating to the opioid crisis and exposing how as more draconian measures are instituted to restrict access to pain medicines - more people in pain are suffering and more people are dying of overdose. We talk about the real cause of the opioid crisis and how those in power and those who seek to benefit from that power have manipulated the data to present a false narrative to the American people.  This is very emotional issue for me since I’ve been in chronic pain for over thirty years and have seen first hand how people in pain are  treated in the current environment of opioid hysteria. I exercise my health freedom by taking Kratom for my chronic pain. Kratom isn’t for everyone and I recommend everyone do their own research to see if its right them. Thats exactly what I did and I found it extremely helpful for helping improve my over well being and help with the pain. The only Kratom I trust is from Urban Ice Organics which you can find at: https://naturalorganix.com Use the promo code “ChronciallyHuman20 with no spaces - to get 20% off your next order.  Urban Ice Organics now offers a great Full Spectrum CBD oil as well. In May we will be offering a giveaway of one free bottle of CBD oil plus two blisters packs of the three strains of Urban Ice Organics. We’ll be announcing more information on our:  Instagram:  ChronciallyHumanPodcst in the coming days.  Youtube: Chronically Human Podcast  If you'd like to hear more about my experience using Kratom send me an email: brad@chronicallyhuman.co Follow Josh on Twitter: @joshbloomACHS and check out his blog posts on https://www.acsh.org  Some of Josh's articles on The Opioid Crisis: https://www.acsh.org/news/2017/10/12/opioid-epidemic-6-charts-designed-deceive-you-11935 https://www.acsh.org/news/2019/02/20/heroin-pills-are-now-reality-andrew-kolodny-finally-happy-13825  https://www.acsh.org/news/2017/08/16/heads-sand-—-real-cause-todays-opioid-deaths-11681  https://www.acsh.org/news/2018/11/05/who-telling-truth-about-prescription-opioid-deaths-dea-cdc-neither-13569  Iron law of Prohibition - During Alcohol Prohibition producers produced high strength liquor which was easier to smuggle and people switched from beer, which wasn’t available and instead drank high proof liquor. This is the analogy that I wanted to make when Josh was talking about Fentanyl being a unique event in American history. In reality Prohibition creates predictable and negative results. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_law_of_prohibition  I don’t agree with Josh on many topics but we do agree on how it's truly  terrible how those in pain are being treated today and its our own government who is spreading the half truths and misinformation that make this a reality.  .I advocate for the full legalization of all drugs, the end of the...
