Psychopathic Authoritarianism with Dr. Joseph Sansone
2026/10/16
Dr. Joseph Sansone is a psychotherapist specializing in clinical hypnosis opposed to psychopathic authoritarianism and the author of Psychopathic Authoritarianism: A Disease of the Soul. Joseph has a B.S. in psychology, an M.S. in clinical mental health counseling, and a PhD in psychology with a transpersonal concentration. He enjoys facilitating self-actualization.
In this book, he shows that authoritarian systems are not merely political phenomena, but psychological ones, driven by a specific cluster of personality pathologies.
They appeared in every culture and every century, rising to power through manipulation, cruelty, fear, and the systematic exploitation of human weakness.
The book further examines how psychopathic authoritarianism operates not only through individual leaders, but through institutions, media, academia, finance, and the emerging globalist technocratic agenda, including digital surveillance systems, depopulation programs, technocracy, transhumanism, and the erosion of national sovereignty.
The book then asks the deeper question that most works in this genre never reach: why does this pattern recur throughout all of human history?
Dr. Sansone proposes that psychopathic authoritarianism is a habitual behavioral field encoded within the fabric of nature itself, a disease of the soul spread through normalization, reward, fear, coercion, and the corruption of human empathy, conscience, and spiritual connection.
Self Obsession with Dr. Tom Davies
2026/10/09
We all have dreams and aspirations whether they be society imposed or generated from our hearts. Yet the Buddhists posit that suffering is caused by desire (duhkha). In an increasingly individualistic world, we are encouraged to define ourselves: through our achievements, relationships, appearance, beliefs, careers and countless other markers of identity. Does this relentless focus on who we are - and who we think we should be - may actually be contributing to our anxiety, dissatisfaction and psychological distress? When we don't meet these standards whether they be externally or internally imposed, we are distressed.
Tom explores how our sense of self is constructed, why we become so attached to it, and how attempts to protect and strengthen our identities can inadvertently create suffering. Drawing together contemporary psychology, evolutionary science and Eastern philosophy, he examines why self-obsession is such a powerful feature of the human condition.
The answer is not changing who we are, but, aligned with the Buddhist philosophy, to loosen our attachment to the idea of a fixed identity. Tom explores practical ways of loosening our attachment to identity, responding differently to difficult thoughts and emotions, and becoming more engaged with life beyond ourselves.
Bio
Tom studied Biology at Warwick University before completing his medical training at King's College London. Tom has worked as a physician in primary and secondary care, including in General Practice and Psychiatry, as well as in non-clinical roles within public health and the digital mental health space. He now works as a psychotherapist in the East of England. He has written the book self obsession.
Tom is a British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP)-accredited CBT therapist specializing in OCD and health anxiety. He provides evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), helping people break free from cycles of intrusive thoughts, anxiety, checking, reassurance and rumination. Therapy is available online across the UK.
Intrusive thoughts, doubts and uncomfortable feelings are a normal part of being human. Problems can develop when we get caught trying to eliminate uncertainty, find reassurance, or prevent feared outcomes. Through CBT and ERP, Tom helps people respond differently to these experiences, reduce the behaviours that keep anxiety going and get back to living more freely. His approach is practical, collaborative and focused on recovery rather than simply learning to cope with symptoms. In his book, Self Obsession, he discusses how to lessen the hold of becoming a "perfect self."
Outside of his clinical work, Tom is a passionate long-distance hiker and has explored many of the long-distance trails across Europe. In 2018, he walked approximately 2,000 km from Canterbury to Rome along the Via Francigena over three months. Walking has also played an important part in Tom's interest in philosophy and contemplative traditions. Many of the ideas explored in his book Self-Obsession developed through his experiences of long-distance walking and his longstanding interest in Eastern philosophy
Covid: Heart Attacks, Shedding and Solutions with Professor Ian Brighthope
2026/10/02
Some have complained that the mRNA shots have resulted in having heart attacks. Can shedding have the same results? What can one do to prevent adverse effects from covid?
Bio
Professor Ian Brighthope graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery in 1974. It was in the fields of plant and animal nutrition that Professor Brighthope became aware of the importance of optimum nutrition and the use of nutritional supplementation in animal production, the treatment of animal dysfunction and the potential of this approach in the prevention and treatment of human disease. Also, the addition of agricultural and food processing chemicals to the food chain concerned him, and this resulted in his investigating their harmful effects on human health in general, and in particular, the human nervous, immune and endocrine systems. Neglect of these areas of human care prompted him to adopt the nutritional and environmental medicine approaches in his medical practice, which was the first of its kind in Australia.
The Brighthope Clinics and Biocentres were developed in the 1970's. They specialised in Nutritional and Environmental Medicine with particular interests in cancer, heart disease, psychiatric diseases, learning and behaviour disorders, psychological disorders related to foods and chemicals, the chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, asthma, food and chemical sensitivities, auto-immune diseases, diabetes and the treatment of acute viral illnesses and other conditions with megadoses of intra[1]venous Vitamin C and other nutrients.
The antioxidant and intravenous Vitamin C clinics under his management were the first of their kind in Australia. They treated patients from all walks of life from all over the world. The Brighthope Clinic was the first Integrative Medicine Centre in Australia in which modalities such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, chiropractic, meditation, chelation therapy, intravenous nutritional therapies and others were integrated with mainstream and hospital medicine in the 1970's. In the early 1980's, he coined the term 'Integrative Medicine'. This term was adopted by the Australasian Integrative Medicine Association (AIMA), which has become a significant force in changing the practice of orthodox medicine in Australia. Professor Brighthope was closely involved in the establishment of Integrative Medicine in Australia.
As president of ACNEM, Professor Brighthope pioneered the first post-graduate medical course in nutrition in Australia and remained on the faculty as one of its principle lecturers from 1980 until 2007. In August 2007 he was awarded the Inaugural ACNEM award in recognition of more than 25 years of outstanding service in the field of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine including 25 years as founding President of the College. He initiated the ACNEM fellowship program and examinations and now plays a pivotal role in maintaining, as an official ambassador, ACNEM as the peak body in Nutritional and Environmental Medicine in Australia and Asia. A quality assurance and continuing medical education program is an integral part of the qualifying fellowship program. Professor Brighthope also edited the ACNEM newsletter from the beginning of the organisation and evolved it into the ACNEM Journal.
Professor Brighthope, in association with Professor Avni Sali, formed the Graduate School of Integrative Medicine at Swinburne University in 1996, at which he was honoured with a Full Professorship Professor Brighthope has published extensively for the general public and has appeared regularly in the media as an advocate of nutritional and environmental health. He is the author of 5 books and many scientific and medial lectures and reviews. His books have been endorsed by many luminaries, most notably the late Linus Pauling, the only person to have ever been awarded two unshared Nobel Prizes.
Professor Brighthope has acted as an advocate of doctors practicing Complementary Medicine for over 45 years. Professor Brighthope's lifelong ambition is to change the way medicine and healthcare is practiced for the benefit of the public and to see nutrition, nutritional and environmental medicine the building blocks and keystones to world health and peace. In 2019 he was made a director of the National Institute of Integrative Medicine in Melbourne, Australia.
Professor Brighthope is currently the Director of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine at the National Institute of Integrative Medicine in Melbourne , Australia. In August, 2022, frustrated with the damage being done by the mainstream medical authorities and politicians of all persuasions, he formed The WOW, The World Of Wellness International Limited, a public support and educational organisation. He is also on the board of the World Council for Health (Australian) and the spokesperson/adviser to the Aligned Council of Australia.
Professor Brighthope continues to campaign for the best of health care and world peace.
Racism and Diversity in Medical Care with Richard T Bosshardt, MD, FACS
2026/09/25
Do minority groups receive a different quality of care than majority groups? How is DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) and critical race theory affecting medical care?
Bio
Dr. Richard Bosshardt a plastic surgeon, a founding member of the Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism (FAIR) in Medicine and a Senior Fellow of Do No Harm.
Both are organizations whose mission is to push back against the invasion of the ideology of critical race theory, in the guise of antiracism and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in medicine.
He has been a physician for 39 years and a plastic surgeon for 28 of those years. He received his MD from the University of Miami School of Medicine in 1978 and completed a 5 year residency in general surgery at the U.S. Naval Hospital, Oakland, CA. He was board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery in 1991.
His care philosophy is to see himself first as a physician first and a plastic surgeon second. He considers plastic surgery as an extension of the overall care of patients and part of a healthy lifestyle, not an alternative to this.

Negotiating the Hospital System
2026/09/11
Negotiating the medical system can be challenging. Often, we don't know what questions to ask, what all the options are, as well as knowing what our rights are in the medical system.
How many times have you gone to see your doctor and left feeling there were more questions to be answered. Some people can benefit from health advocates who have experience and can help patients navigate the system.
This becomes more complicated when entering the hospital. Upon entry, we sign some digital form without knowing wholly what was in it or what we agreed to. We feel ill, worried and perhaps weak, and at that time understanding the system is even more important.
Directed in Advance was created by Laura Echegaray & Oxana Ostrovsky after their shared experiences of being a hospital patient as well as a patient-advocate dealing with the corporate medical gauntlet. If you or a loved one have been in a hospital of late, this will resonate with you. If you have not yet, then knowing what they will teach you could save your life. After the initial emergency passes, the corporate hospital's interests may not be in your best interests. Common is over-testing, over-medication, and unwise or debatable procedures designed to run up the bill as well as to cover long-shot liability. Then there is understaffing, incompetent staffing, and callous attendants already unhappy with their work situations. When and if you get the direct attention of a staff physician, you have to deal with allopathic bias. All this while you are surrounded by neighborly pain, suffering, and disease.
Laura and Oxana created a different kind of Advance Directives that covers not only standard care, but holistic care, religious belief statement and COVID care. Their stories prove that prayer, holistic care and community support create miracles and change the course of hospital stay. You can learn about them and what they have to offer on their https://www.directedinadvance.com/
Oxana Ostrovskaya Bio
Oxana Ostrovskaya is an educator, community organizer, and co-founder of "Luminary Learning Village", a self-directed learning center for homeschoolers. In 2022, Oxana found herself thrust into the role of medical advocate when she rushed her partner—who was suffering from severe respiratory symptoms—to the ER. Without official advance directives or medical power of attorney in place, she became his patient advocate. After two months in the ICU battling Legionnaires' disease, he survived and was discharged. This experience inspired Oxana to create "Directed in Advance" in collaboration with Laura Echegaray, an initiative designed to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools necessary to advocate for their medical choices in hospital settings.
Laura Eschgaray Bio
Laura Echegaray is a Teaching Artist in the San Francisco Bay Area
In 1997 she trained as a disability educator and advocate to help her Latino clients with disabilities. She also learned to advocate for herself in the medical system, for her sons at school and for her father's medical needs until his passing in 2020.
In 2003 Laura had a major health crisis during which she experienced a miracle healing and was left with many questions and an insatiable interest for the spiritual, natural and energy healing arts. A second health crisis in 2022 prompted Laura to deepen her knowledge of medical advocacy skills which culminated in the creation of the "Advanced Directives for Freedom People" course, a collaboration with Oxana Ostrovsky.
The Female Happiness Paradox with Glenn Macko
2026/09/04
Historically, women have been under represented in all clinical research. As recently as 1992, US legislation was passed to ensure that women are represented in all clinical research. Medicine has assumed that women respond to medications the same as men and that they respond the same across the menstrual cycle.
Further frustration to women is that it can take eight years to receive a diagnosis of endometriosis.
This is the first generation where women were told they could have it all and were encouraged to actively seek it all. Stay beautiful, stay skinny, give the perfect dinner party. With this amount of stress, are we prepared for the years of menopause? I
In the UK, US and Australia, perimenopause years were listed as times of high suicide rates among women. The Blanchflower and Byrson article on the feal happiness paradox states that women have increasing anxiety, depression, fearflulness, sadness, loneliness and anger Girls are raised to nurture, play nice, and say yes. Boys are raised to be independent and to win. This creates a dynamic where a "yes" from a woman may represent a significant personal sacrifice — one that a man in the same situation might not register as a sacrifice at all.
The UK's 2023 Careers After Babies Report found that 85% of women leave the workforce within three years of having their first child. Many women today carry both traditional domestic responsibilities and full professional lives simultaneously — a compounding load that is rarely acknowledged as such. This is further complicated by the The medical profession also divides treatment according to parts of the body.
Hormones are intimately connected to stress and metabolic health. Menopause response is intimately connected to metabolic health ( blood sugars), stress, gut health, iet, toxins. As these are not attributed geographically to one part of the body , many physicians may not look at these interconnections.
Further more there is the damage done by decades of synthetic hormones and false claims that proper biologically identical hormones can cause strokes and heart attacks. Such events typically occur when estrogen metabolites go down the 4OH and 16OH pathway which many practitioners do not consider.
Are we women unhappy?

Dr. Michael Kirk Moore: A Physician's Stand for Liberty
2026/08/28
Dr. Michael Kirk Moore, a dedicated and respected physician from Utah, stands as a testament to the power of individual conscience in an era of institutional overreach. For years, he faced the unimaginable—the threat of up to 35 years behind bars—simply for honoring his sacred oath to "do no harm."
Initially, Dr. Moore acted with compassion to help children whose only alternative was to receive a vaccine they and their parents did not trust, or face restrictive masking mandates. With explicit informed consent, he administered saline shots to those in need. His care soon expanded to adults facing impossible choices: job loss, military discharge, or denial of life-saving organ transplants unless they submitted to experimental injections. Dr. Moore provided these individuals a chance to uphold their deeply held convictions while safeguarding their futures.
The Fight Against Federal Overreach
The federal government's pursuit of Dr. Moore was a glaring example of weaponized justice. He was subjected to 22 days of incarceration, often isolated for 22 hours a day, in a blatant attempt to break his spirit and silence a vocal critic of the state-mandated medical agenda. Throughout this ordeal, he remained a devoted father, raising his two children alone after the tragic loss of his ex-wife in 2019, and a decorated U.S. Navy Flight Surgeon who has spent his career in service to others.
Vindication and the Path to Accountability
In July 2025, the battle reached a historic turning point. Following intense scrutiny and the recognition of the gross injustice being perpetrated, the federal government dismissed all charges against Dr. Moore. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi directed the dismissal, stating clearly that Dr. Moore "gave his patients a choice when the federal government refused to do so" and that he "did not deserve the years in prison he was facing."
This victory was not the end, but the beginning of a broader campaign. Following his exoneration, Dr. Moore appeared on the Tucker Carlson Network, where he brought the reality of the government's medical tyranny to a national audience. He has since become a leading voice in the urgent movement to pull mRNA products from the market entirely.
A Mission for Humanity
Dr. Moore is currently spearheading a decisive push to end the era of mass-injection mandates and stop the systematic poisoning of humanity. His work centers on:
Restoring Medical Sovereignty: Championing the fundamental right of every American to make their own health decisions, free from state coercion. Exposing mRNA Risks: Utilizing his medical expertise to educate the public on the dangers of current mRNA technology and the suppression of vaccine-injury data. Systemic Accountability: Demanding that the architects of the pandemic-era mandates be held responsible for the damage inflicted upon the nation's health and constitutional rights. Dr. Moore's journey—from the courtroom to the national stage—is a battle for the preservation of human agency. He remains steadfast in his determination to see that the truth is revealed, that the victims of these policies are acknowledged, and that the medical establishment is fundamentally reformed to serve the people, not the interests of government or corporate profit.
BIO
Dr. Michael Kirk Moore, a respected plastic surgeon in Utah with more than a decade of experience, In his practice he was known for his approach being grounded in honesty, innovation and personalized care. His patients felt seen and supported. He is dedicated to giving his patients the toned bodies, balanced facial features, and youthful skin of their dreams. After earning a master's degree in applied human physiology from Hahnemann University in 1989, he enrolled at the University of Miami School of Medicine and obtained his medical degree with honors in 1993. Dr. Moore then completed the prerequisite general surgery residency at St. Joseph's Hospital in Denver, CO, and a plastic surgery residency at the University of Colorado Health Sciences
All About Menopause with Claire Snowdon-Darling
2026/08/21
Historically, women have been under represented in all clinical research. As recently as 1992, US legislation was passed to ensure that women are represented in all clinical research. This had assumed that women respond to medications, and that there was no difference across their menstrual cycles. Further frustration to women is that it can take eight years to receive a diagnosis of endometriosis.
The medical profession also divides treatment according to parts of the body. For example, a stomach she would be referred to a gastroenterologist, joint pain to a rheumatologists. Yet both of these symptoms might be explained by underlying inflammation.
This is the first generation where women were told they could have it all and were encouraged to actively seek it all. Stay beautiful, stay skinny, give the perfect dinner party. With this amount of stress, are we prepared for the years of menopause? In the UK,. US and Australia, perimenopause years were listed as times for high suicide rates among women.

Tips for dealing with cancer with Professor Robert Thomas, MD
2026/07/31
Has the war on cancer been successful? What can we do to decrease our risks for getting cancer? What can we do to increase our prognosis once the cancer diagnosis is given.
What can we do to feel we have some efficacy or input into what happens to us in the future. The WHO and crUK predicted that 42% of cancers are lifestyle related. Within that 40% are caused by obesity.
Reducing inflammation and oxidative can improve most health outcomes including cancer. Phytochemicals, stress reduction, good gut health, moderate exercise, good sleep and vitamin D should help cancer prevention and prognoses. Are there cases where this does not apply?
For example, some say antioxidants interfere with chemotherapy. the antioxidants from vitamin A and vitamin E may make outcomes worse? Also previously held warnings about turmeric/ curcumin and whole soy foods for breast cancer may not be supported in the research. This does not necessarily hold for soy infused supplements Omega threes have effect in women not men? (could this be due to the addition of vitamin E to some omega thre preparations?
Did you know that some studies show the popular supplement sal palmetto has no benefit or can promote cancers?

Health Tips with Dr. Michael Gaeta
2026/07/24
The US spends 20 % of its GNP on health care and has some of the worst outcomes. Over 50 % of adults and children have at least one chronic disease. In the 1960's less than two percent had chronic diseases. We have 4.6 % of the world's population yet use 50 % of the world's pharmaceuticals.
Just because your doctor tells you that your lab results are normal, that is no reason to cheer as these values are based on 95 % of a very sick population.
For example, statins are given out readily, but did you know a doctor has to treat 100 patients for five years to get one patient to benefit? Did you know about the side effects of statins? Did you know that some studies show that satins have no benefits for women?
In the past there was a war on cholesterol. Yet one half of the heart attacks occur in people who have normal cholesterol. Cholesterol is actually protective. It is the source of our adrenal and sex hormones, for vitamin D and cell membranes and myelin the nerve protection. the LDL cholesterol particles rush to repair damage to the blood vessels lining.

Obstetrical Complications during Covid with James Thorp, MD
2026/07/17
James Thorp is an obstetrician who attempted to alert his employer to the adverse birth outcomes he observed in women who had received the covid vaccines. He discusses how Pfizer tried to hide preliminary adverse results for 75 years. James (and the interviewee whose program aired on May 29, 2026) were fired after testifying in US Senate hearings. He discusses how over 60,000 obstetricians were bribed into encouraging these shots and how they were punished if they raised questions. His hospital received hundred of millions of dollars shortly after he was fired. Pregnant women are the most vulnerable members of society, and previously were not subject to experimental procedures.
