It's been too long since I last dropped an episode. My bad!Here is a short update on what's going on with me and why I've been neglecting this show. More content will come but not likely until next year (2023).

January 9th, 1947 was the last day 22 year old Elizabeth Short was seen alive. Days later she was found dead in Leimert Park in Los Angeles. The media labelled her the Black Dahlia, and to this day her case remains unsolved. Her corpse, however, left clues. Whoever killed Elizabeth had extensive surgical knowledge. One of the top suspects for this murder was a physician named Dr. George Hodel, a renowned surgeon in LA with dark secrets.IG: @headcoldpodcast

Nestle employs over 328,000 people, owns 2000 brands, operates in most of the countries on Earth, and collects revenues to the tune of $89 billion dollars. They have humble beginnings when their founder, Henri Nestle, first invested baby formula as a substitute for breastmilk to curve infant mortality due to malnutrition in the late 19th Century.Today, the infant formula industry itself is estimated to be worth over $5 billion dollars. Probably more people have consumed a Nestle product than received a COVID shot within the past year and a half at least in the United States.Nestle has been the subject of controversy over water but they aren't new to receiving hate. In 1977, an organization called the International Baby Food Action Network launched a boycott against Nestle products, in numerous countries around the world, for unethical and aggressive product advertisements and sales tactics in developing nations directly leading to increased infant mortality.Major Sources:War on WantThe New Internationalist - Babies Mean BusinessNational Institutes of HealthNestle CompanyFood & Drug AdministrationNatureBusiness InsiderInvestopediaNew York Health DepartmentUniversity of MichiganCompany Man - Nestle Waters - Big and Controversialwww.youtube.com/watch?v=MRWWK-iW_zU&list=PLVtoTh3hF-hzrOB-nl7C9F38v3Q5D0vM2&index=1&t=535s Access to water ain't for er'bodywww.youtube.com/watch?v=mTnJTyeAUA8 Nestle adwww.youtube.com/watch?v=11IG14Sy_7s IG @headcoldpodcastwww.headcoldpodcast.comMusic & Sound Effects from YouTube (royalty free channels) & Storyblocks.comSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/headcoldpod)

In times when disease was thought to be caused by an angry deity, Imhotep and Hippocrates both looked to science, reason, and the observable world around them. Both physicians took their respective practices away from magical thinking to actually observing the human body, writing down observations, and taking measurements. Despite not having access to modern science, Imhotep of Saqqara and Hippocrates of Kos were way ahead of their time.

On December 3rd, 1967 at the Groote Schuur Hospital in South Africa, a team led by Dr. Christiaan Barnard pioneered the first human-to-human heart transplantation surgery. The patient, Mr. Louis Washkansky, only lived 18 days post-procedure but the cause of death was not the donor heart. We explore the layers of scientific foundation laid down that made this achievement possible, learn a bit about South Africa, and see what motivated Dr. Barnard.headcoldpodcast.comFacebook & IG @headcoldpodMajor sources:National Institutes of HealthThe EconomistMayo ClinicThe Dick Cavett ShowCongress.govSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/headcoldpod)
