    05-22-26 Interview - Elizabeth Superintendent Dan Snowberger - Elizabeth Schools Want to Keep Some Books Out of Libraries

    ELIZABETH SCHOOLS WANTS TO KEEP SOME BOOKS OUT OF LIBRARIES And we’re not talking ALL libraries, we’re talking school libraries. After creating a process that involved pretty much anyone who wanted to be involved, they removed books with content they deemed to be inappropriate for kids. Of course the ACLU sued them. Why did they remove the books? The content was too mature and contains content such as racism, discrimination, LGBTQ+ content, sexual themes, profanity, graphic violence, and self-harm See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    05-21-26 Interview - Dr. Francisco Contreras - Can Ivermectin Fight Cancer?

    CAN IVERMECTIN FIGHT CANCER? Ivermectin, a long used drug to fight parasitic infections in humans and animals, is getting a fresh look when it comes to fighting cancer. In recent years, a growing body of preclinical research and patient-reported outcomes has drawn serious scientific attention to a surprising class of compounds: antiparasitic drugs. Ivermectin, fenbendazole, and mebendazole — medications long approved for parasitic infections in humans and animals — are now being studied for their potential role in oncology. Dr. Francisco Contreras, Medical Director of Oasis of Hope Cancer Center, has followed this research closely and believes these compounds deserve a serious place in the conversation about integrative oncology. He joins me at 2:30 to discuss it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
