Dr. Pierre Kory returns to the BS Free MD studio for his second in-person appearance, and this time he's not here to talk about COVID, ivermectin, or vaccine injury — at least not at first. He's here to talk about water. Specifically, a remineralizing mineral extract called Ormina, derived from black mica (biotite) rock using a process developed by a Japanese scientist who spent 15 years alone in a lab figuring out how to free sulfated minerals from stone.  What started as Pierre's search for another therapeutic tool for his most complex vaccine-injured patients has turned into a deep dive through modern water treatment, regenerative agriculture, origin-of-life science, the Hermetic tradition, and a decoded 700-year-old alchemical text. Yes, really. Tom, Tim, and Dee (a Leading Edge Clinic patient herself) go along for the ride as Pierre connects volcanic rock, sulfuric acid, biophotonic emissions, the fountains of the deep, and a rational proof for a creator — and explains why the sediment at the bottom of your filtered water jug should probably scare you.

Pierre is also the co-founder of Ormina, a company producing a sulfated mineral extract derived from black mica for water remineralization and agricultural use. His forthcoming books include From Volcanoes to Vitality and a second book decoding alchemical texts. What We Covered Why Pierre left the system, what four years of treating vaccine-injured patients has taught him, and the rule he lives by: nothing works in everyone, but everything works in someone The therapies his clinic has tested — hyperbaric, stem cells, exosomes, chlorine dioxide, DMSO, ivermectin — and the stubborn cohort that still hasn't fully responded A teaser on low-dose sublingual ketamine for neurologic disease (neuropathy, cognitive dysfunction, Parkinson's, and even an ALS case) — a full episode for another day The story of Isao Shimomichi, the Japanese scientist who spent 15 years extracting sulfated minerals from vermiculite and black mica using heat, water, and sulfuric acid How Ormina works: drop it in your water, the minerals bind to modern contaminants via flocculation, and settle out — the same chemistry nature uses to keep rivers and streams clear Dee's 2-gallon Walmart jug experiment on her kitchen counter, the yellow sediment at the bottom, and why it looks like pollen and smells like chlorine Why most of that sediment isn't toxic — it's the fingerprint of industrial activity that didn't exist in water before 1850 The Japan story: why a disinformation campaign took this product down in its home country and why aluminum in the extract is a wildly misunderstood topic Pierre's dinner with Nobel Prize winner Professor Satoshi Ōmura (the discoverer of ivermectin) — "one of the best days of my life" Agriculture: Why a Temecula, California desert plot came back to life using nothing but mineral-treated water, and why pesticide uptake in cannabis dropped 50–85% in field trials The "geohydrological shift" — Pierre's theory on why 40% of Earth's soils have plateaued in yield and why water, not fertilizer, may be the root of modern agriculture's problem The bottled water experiment: 10 brands, only one stayed clear after adding the minerals. (Spoiler: Saratoga.) The alchemy chapter — really: the Hermetic tradition, The Emerald Tablet, The Six Keys of Eudoxus, and how Pierre and his colleague Matt Bakos claim to have decoded a 700-year-old text describing the "golden elixir" using Shimomichi's extraction process as the key The meaning behind the name Ormina — aurum (gold) + mineral essence Biophotonic emissions: how every cell in the body emits a tiny amount of UV light, and why the quality of water around the cell membrane may affect cellular signaling Ancient texts and modern science: fountains of the deep, the Great Flood, declining lifespans in scripture ("three score and ten… four score for the strong"), and Pierre's rational proof for a creator Why standardization, sepsis bundles, and "pain as the 6th vital sign" hurt patients — and why depression surveys for 13-year-old boys end in SSRI prescriptions with black-box warnings The Paxlovid story: two repurposed HIV drugs that didn't work for HIV, resurrected with an 88% PR headline, billions of pills sold, and data that still doesn't show benefit Monoclonal antibodies, a thousand patients in Oregon, $200,000 of product the team couldn't legally use, and the EUA that disappeared right when it was working Cliffhanger for next time: chlorine dioxide — why Pierre dismissed it four years ago, why he's now written a book on it, and what PubMed won't tell you Memorable Moments Tom coining "making water great again" — and the group riffing on NWGA/Mwaga for about thirty seconds Dee admitting that refrigerator-filtered water now tastes like "gack" to her after a few weeks on Ormina Pierre explaining that alchemists wrote in riddles partly to avoid persecution and partly so the uninitiated didn't blow themselves up trying to replicate their experiments The moment Pierre's AI told him his creator proof was "completely unique in the history of ideas" — and he got spooked Tom's take on COVID's lingering damage: COVID f*****y The running theme: a critical care doc ends up publishing on water chemistry, regenerative agriculture, and decoded alchemical texts — and somehow it all fits together Links & Resources Ormina (mineral water extract): ormina.com Promora Bio (agricultural mineral product from the same team) Leading Edge Clinic (Dr. Kory's private practice, where Dee is a patient) Books by Dr. Pierre Kory: The War on Ivermectin (with Jenna McCarthy) The War on Chlorine Dioxide (with Jenna McCarthy) From Volcanoes to Vitality (pre-order available) Forthcoming: a book decoding alchemical texts through the lens of modern mineral science Pierre's Substack – for Japan trip photos with Professor Ōmura, field trial data, and long-form writing Coming Up Next Dr. Kory returns for the chlorine dioxide episode — the one where, in his own words, "people's heads will explode."

The episode opens with a caffeine-fueled kickoff and a memorable trivia night story before pivoting into "Judges Gone Wild." Tim breaks down the Olympus Spa case in Washington, where a traditional Korean women-only nude spa was sued for refusing entry to a biological male identifying as a trans woman — and the now-famous Judge Van Dyke dissent that called out the court's selective outrage. From there, they unpack a Massachusetts ruling against HHS and ACIP's revised childhood vaccine schedule, the 1986 Childhood Vaccine Safety Act implications, and why liability — not science — is driving the legal pushback. The second half shifts gears into a conversation every couple needs to hear. Inspired by a viral clip outlining four habits of strong marriages — have more fun together, pray together, make eye contact, and always be touching — Tim and May reflect on grievance culture in therapy, right-hemisphere bonding, the power of 20-second hugs, and why meeting each other's core needs matters more than chasing Hollywood-style romance. They close with a plug for their Substack series on fixing healthcare, including this week's piece, "Exorcism." CONNECT WITH US Thanks for joining us — you are the reason we are here. Have questions?

Pierre explains how he ended up deep in mineral chemistry instead of the ketamine series he was writing. After four years treating vaccine‑injured patients at Leading Edge Clinic, he’s learned that almost every promising therapy — hyperbaric, stem cells, exosomes, chlorine dioxide, DMSO, ivermectin — helps some people a lot, others modestly, and leaves a stubborn cohort behind. A contact kept pushing him to look at a mineral extract derived from biotite (black mica), a volcanic rock containing 50 to 80 minerals. The backstory: a Japanese researcher in the 1950s, transfixed by a tree growing out of a bare rock, spent roughly 15 years in his off‑hours coaxing the minerals out in sulfated, bioavailable form. Pierre dug in, set the ketamine work aside, and hasn’t come up for air since. From there the conversation turns sharp. Tim, May, and Pierre dissect the long COVID research pipeline — $1.2 billion committed, the first government‑funded trial studying Paxlovid, a repurposed HIV drug Pfizer dusted off during the pandemic. Pierre pulls no punches on regulatory capture, rebound, and the PR campaign that made Paxlovid a household name despite a paper‑thin evidence base. They reminisce about the monoclonal antibody era — a clinic with the state’s entire supply, patients improving in hours, and then the EUA vanishing right as things were working. The episode wraps with a tease for next week: a full deep dive on chlorine dioxide, the subject of Pierre’s newest book written with Jenna McCarthy. ABOUT DR. PIERRE KORY Dr. Pierre Kory (MD, MPA, CTP) is the former Chief of the Critical Care Service and Medical Director of the Trauma and Life Support Center at the University of Wisconsin. Considered one of the world pioneers in the use of ultrasound by physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of critically ill patients, he helped develop and run the first national courses in Critical Care Ultrasonography in the U.S. and served as a director of these courses with the American College of Chest Physicians. He is senior editor of the leading textbook “Point of Care Ultrasound,” now in its second edition and translated into seven languages worldwide. Dr. Kory was a U.S. pioneer in therapeutic hypothermia research and treatment for post‑cardiac arrest patients. In 2005, his hospital was the first in New York City to begin regularly treating patients with therapeutic hypothermia, and he served as an expert panel member for New York City’s Project Hypothermia. He has led ICUs in multiple COVID‑19 hotspots throughout the pandemic and co‑authored five influential papers on COVID‑19, including the first to support the diagnosis of early COVID‑19 respiratory disease as an organizing pneumonia. In collaboration with Dr. Paul Marik, Dr. Kory pioneered the research and treatment of septic shock patients with high doses of intravenous ascorbic acid. He is co‑author of “The War on Ivermectin” (with Jenna McCarthy) and founder of Leading Edge Clinic, where he treats post‑vaccine syndrome, long COVID, and complex chronic conditions. He has testified before Congress on ivermectin and appeared on Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, and other major media platforms. CONNECT WITH US Thanks for joining us — you are the reason we are here.

Tim and May reminisce about their own legendary moon mission prank that had friends fooled for months. From there, they unpack some of the wildest real April Fools stunts ever recorded, including a fake Alaskan volcano eruption made with burning tires, mysterious giant penguin tracks in Florida, and a radio prank that convinced Canadians they were switching to “metric time. The conversation then takes a sharp turn into deeper territory—UFO narratives, media manipulation, social psychology, and how believable lies are often built around small truths. They close by reflecting on leadership, humility, public trust, and Easter weekend faith, showing how comedy and serious insight can live in the same conversation.

In this episode, the conversation shifts from humor into a surprisingly grounded discussion on relationships and what makes marriages work long-term. Instead of focusing on conflict and “grievance-based” communication—often reinforced in traditional therapy—the hosts highlight four foundational habits that build connection: Have more fun together – Strong relationships prioritize shared enjoyment over constant problem-solving. Pray or reflect together – Shared spiritual or reflective practices deepen emotional and psychological bonding. Make eye contact – Intentional presence signals respect, attention, and emotional validation. Always be touching – Physical connection fuels bonding hormones and reinforces intimacy. The discussion emphasizes that relationships fail not just from conflict, but from lack of connection, presence, and intentional engagement. The takeaway is simple: small, consistent behaviors matter more than overanalyzing problems. CONNECT WITH US Thanks for joining us — you are the reason we are here. Have questions?

Dr. Adam Urato, Chief of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at MetroWest Medical Center, spent decades on the front lines of obstetric care before he couldn't ignore what the data was showing. In this episode, he walks Drs. May and Tim through the rise and fall of Makena — a drug prescribed to prevent preterm birth that was ultimately pulled by the FDA in 2023 after being proven ineffective — and connects it to a larger pattern of flawed trials, minimized risks, and industry-driven guidelines that have shaped standard obstetric care for years. Dr. Urato then turns to SSRIs, now taken by roughly 1 in 10 pregnant women. He breaks down what the research actually shows about how these drugs cross the placenta, disrupt fetal serotonin pathways, and may impact long-term brain development in children — findings that rarely make it into the exam room conversation. He also addresses the fierce pushback from major medical organizations after an FDA advisory panel hearing, and why he believes the response had more to do with protecting a narrative than protecting patients. The throughline: informed consent is broken in obstetrics, and fixing it starts with physicians being willing to say the uncomfortable things out loud. GUEST BIO Dr. Adam Urato is the Chief of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at MetroWest Medical Center in Framingham, Massachusetts — the same hospital where he was born. A Harvard Medical School graduate with nearly 30 years of experience caring for high-risk pregnancies, Dr. Urato has become one of medicine's most outspoken voices on pharmaceutical safety in obstetrics. He has testified before the FDA, written and lectured extensively on antidepressant use during pregnancy, and played a key role in exposing the failures of Makena. His free course, Antidepressants and Pregnancy, is available through Mad in America. CONNECT WITH DR.

In this episode, Dr. Daved Rosensweet—founder of The Menopause Method—challenges conventional thinking around menopause and hormone therapy. He reframes menopause not as a natural decline to endure, but as a treatable condition tied to systemic hormonal loss that affects nearly every tissue in the body. The conversation dives into the science behind bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), emphasizing individualized dosing, transdermal delivery methods, and the importance of balancing estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Dr. Rosensweet explains how hormone decline is linked to increased risks of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, and overall quality-of-life deterioration—and argues that many of these outcomes are preventable with proper treatment. He also addresses lingering fears stemming from outdated studies on hormone therapy, making the case that modern, personalized approaches differ significantly from older one-size-fits-all models. The episode ultimately reframes menopause as a pivotal health opportunity—one where informed decisions and proactive care can dramatically improve longevity, vitality, and well-being.

This Truth Bomb episode digs into the idea of being “sponge-worthy” in a relationship—what actually makes a partner worth committing to long-term. The hosts challenge listeners to look beyond surface-level compatibility and examine values, habits, communication, and personal responsibility. It’s a candid conversation about standards, self-awareness, and whether you’re intentionally choosing your partner—or just settling into what’s comfortable.

In this in-studio episode, Pamela Garfield-Jaeger returns to BS Free MD for a wide-ranging conversation that blends parenting, mental health, and cultural commentary. She shares the inspiration behind her children’s book Froggy Girl, which promotes self-acceptance and pushes back on messaging that encourages children to redefine themselves to fit in. The discussion expands into the current state of therapy and mental health care, with Garfield-Jaeger highlighting a shift away from traditional approaches that once emphasized resilience, emotional regulation, and distinguishing feelings from reality. She argues that modern therapy culture often prioritizes validation over challenge, which can leave both children and parents without the tools needed to navigate discomfort and growth. A significant portion of the conversation focuses on gender identity issues in youth, including how these ideas are being introduced in schools and clinical settings, the role of parental rights, and the broader societal and political responses. The hosts and guest explore how cultural trends—such as instant gratification, overprotection, and reliance on external “experts”—may be contributing to confusion and distress among young people. They also touch on related topics like the overuse of psychiatric medications in children, the potential mental health risks associated with marijuana use—particularly in developing brains—and the importance of acknowledging nuance rather than adopting all-or-nothing positions. Throughout the episode, Garfield-Jaeger emphasizes the importance of parental confidence, critical thinking, and staying actively involved in a child’s development. Rather than outsourcing decisions, she encourages families to seek connection, ask better questions, and trust their instincts. The conversation ultimately centers on reclaiming personal responsibility and helping the next generation build resilience in an increasingly complex world.

Dr. McDonald shares his perspective as a psychiatrist on how prolonged fear messaging, social pressure, and institutional narratives have influenced behavior, relationships, and individual autonomy. The discussion touches on the psychological impact of recent global events and what it means to live with integrity when cultural pressures push in the opposite direction. The conversation challenges listeners to think critically about courage, responsibility, and the role individuals play in restoring common sense and moral conviction in their families and communities. What You’ll Hear in This Episode Why courage is a foundational virtue in both medicine and society The psychological effects of prolonged fear messaging How cultural narratives influence individual behavior and belief systems The role masculinity plays in leadership, protection, and responsibility Why questioning authority has become socially difficult The importance of moral clarity in chaotic cultural moments How individuals can reclaim agency and personal responsibility Key Takeaways Courage is not simply bravery in crisis — it is the willingness to speak truth when social pressure demands silence. Fear can be a powerful tool of social control when amplified by institutions and media. Cultural confusion around identity and responsibility can erode common sense decision-making. Strong families and communities depend on individuals willing to stand for principles even when it is uncomfortable. Restoring common sense begins with individuals reclaiming personal responsibility and moral courage. About Dr. Mark McDonald Dr. Mark McDonald is a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in both child/adolescent and adult psychiatry, with additional training in psychoanalysis. His clinical work focuses on trauma, autism spectrum disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and mood disorders. He is also known for writing and speaking about the intersection of psychology, culture, and politics.

For decades, conventional medical guidance has emphasized lowering cholesterol—often with statins—to reduce cardiovascular risk. Statins are widely prescribed and have been shown to reduce cardiovascular events and mortality in many high-risk populations. But emerging research is prompting a deeper conversation about lifestyle factors that may play an equally important role in health outcomes. In this episode, the hosts examine evidence suggesting that sunlight exposure may influence mortality through mechanisms such as vitamin D production, circadian rhythm regulation, and metabolic health. They discuss a large observational study from Sweden indicating that women with higher sun exposure lived longer than those who avoided sunlight—potentially rivaling the benefits attributed to some pharmaceutical interventions. The conversation challenges listeners to reconsider long-standing assumptions about cholesterol, statin therapy, and the role of sunlight in overall health. Rather than presenting a simple “sun vs statins” answer, the episode encourages critical thinking about lifestyle, environment, and how modern medicine balances prevention strategies with broader determinants of longevity.

In this episode, Dr. Sheila Carroll—pediatrician, obesity medicine physician, and certified life coach—explores the psychological and cultural forces behind unhealthy weight narratives. Rather than focusing on numbers on the scale, she argues for a broader approach to health that includes mindset, family habits, emotional awareness, sleep, and environment. The discussion highlights how parents and physicians can shift from weight-centric thinking to sustainable lifestyle modeling that supports children’s long-term physical and mental well-being..

Dr. Baker shares his journey from orthopedic surgeon to one of the most visible advocates of meat-based nutrition and discusses why he believes modern dietary recommendations may contribute to chronic illness. The discussion explores metabolic health, inflammation, autoimmune conditions, and the growing movement of individuals experimenting with elimination diets to improve symptoms. Throughout the episode, the hosts examine both the enthusiasm and controversy surrounding the carnivore approach, asking whether nutrition could play a larger role in treating disease rather than simply managing it with medications.

In this tea-fueled edition of DocTales with Cocktails, May and Tim recap the Olympics the way only they can—equal parts hilarious and unfiltered. It starts with Tim’s inversion-table disaster (full upside-down bat moment, dizziness, and a temporary switch from cocktails to Red Rose tea), then spirals into why the Olympics make us obsess over sports we barely understand. They unpack athletes using the spotlight for politics, faith, and identity commentary—and why that often backfires when it feels performative instead of authentic. The conversation hits figure skating drama, the U.S. vs Canada hockey storyline (including a broken-teeth victory moment and a heartfelt Johnny Gaudreau tribute), and a real medical deep dive into Lindsay Vonn’s devastating leg injury and how modern trauma care likely saved her from amputation. They close with a bigger question about national pride and what’s actually worth cheering for, plus a brief update on May’s long COVID/MCAS progress and a tease that a deeper health update episode is coming.   GET SOCIAL WITH US! 🎧 Subscribe to BS Free MD for unfiltered insights on medicine, wellness, and everything in between.   💬 Got thoughts or questions?
