“When an older woman with terminal leukemia asked to be discharged from the hospital, her doctors assumed they would never see her again. Two weeks later, she walked back in. Blood tests revealed that her cancer markers had dropped by 50 percent. The only thing she had done differently was drink tea made from a common backyard weed.”“Her hospital roommate, hearing the story, began drinking the tea herself. Blood test showed that her cancer markers dropped by 25 percent.” “One person having that experience might be a coincidence. Two people getting the same result was something else. Dr. Caroline Hamm, an oncologist who had been treating both patients, picked up the phone and called a biochemist she had been working with on other cancer research.”“Research has found that dandelion root extract (DRE) can selectively destroy mutiple cancer cell types while sparing healthy cells in laboratory and animal studies. Concurrently, a number of terminal cancer patients—people who had run out of options and had nothing to lose—began taking dandelion root on their own. In several documented cases, their cancer became undetectable within weeks or months. Years later many remain cancer free.\" “In lab studies dandelion extract targeted several pathways, while many chemo drugs target DNA”“In 2011, Siyaram Pandey, a researcher and professor of biochemistry at the University of Windsor in Ontario, launched a formal investigation into dandelion root as a possible non-toxic treatment for cancer” Emma Suttie wrote in this premium report, featured in the Mind and Body section of The Epoch Times.Here are more episodes with Emma Suttie:

“As psychedelics move into the mainstream media driving clinical research, venture investment, and therapeutic treatment, they are often framed as a scientific breakthrough. But much of the cultural framework behind this movement can be traced back to figures like Terrence McKenna, whose ideas were shaped not by controlled research but by highly personal, perception-altering experiences.In A Short Strange Trip, John revisits the 1971 “Experiment at La Chorrera” and places it in a broader historical and psychological context. He examines how narrative, belief, and altered states of consciousness intersect, and how those early interpretations still echo in today’s conversations around mental health, spirituality, and medicine. The result is a grounded, investigative perspective on a movement often discussed in purely optimistic terms.

John’s work has appeared in The New York Times, GQ, Men’s Journal, Financial Times Magazine, Oxford American, and The Boston Globe. His Previous book, The Secret History of Bigfoot, was named best book of 2024 by NPR and the Chicago Tribune and was covered by outlets including The Washington Post and NPR. He holds an MFA from Columbia University and teaches Journalism at Boston College. Born and raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan (the original home of Gibson guitars), he lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts with his wife and children.

TAG ALONG ON A TRIP THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING...

MARCH 4, 1971: Deep in the Columbian rain forrest, a motley crew of “psychonauts” prepared for what they believed would be the ultimate experiment. Convinced that a mixture of powerful hallucinogenic plants held the key to unlocking human consciousness, they soon found themselves entering hyperspace.

The return journey was...complicated.

PRESENT DAY: Acclaimed journalist John O’Connor is fascinated by this forgotten expedition. What really happened in those jungle depths? Armed with decades-old field notes, new interviews, and a healthy dose of curiosity, O’Connor ventures into the same Amazon territory, retracing the psychonauts’ steps through the remote Putumayo in search of a legendary hallucinogen called Ukue’ and the truth about an “experiment” that’s been quietly gathering dust.

Working alongside Indigenous Uitoto people who bore witness to it all, O’Connor explores how humanity’s relationship with psychedelics has shaped everything from ancient religion to modern medicine. But as he journeys deeper into both the rainforrest and the cosmic dimensions these substances reveal, one question keeps nagging at him:

Were the psychonauts on to something truly profound—or just profoundly stoned?

Some stories are worth the trip.

Join Dr. Suzanne Burdick and Bernadette Fiaschetti as they discuss this extremely important topic facing our nation’s children and their mental health. Mental health screenings are common practice now in nearly one-third of all schools in the U.S. and that number is increasing as more states are working hard to pass mental health screening mandates. You must question why, and who’s behind it?Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D., is a senior reporter for The Defender. She has a M.A. in Communications and Leadership from Gonzaga University and a Ph.D. Communication Studies from the University of Texas at Austin.Since joining The Defender in May 2022, Suzanne has written over 600 articles on topics ranging from mental health screenings and the overprescription of psychiatric drugs for U.S. youth, electromagnetic radiation, chemicals, pesticides and vaccines, censorship, surveillance and agency capture.An increasing number of children are likely to face mental health screenings when they return to school this fall. But experts warned those screenings pose more risk than benefit - and urged parents to opt out their child.“While early identification sounds responsible, in practice it risks doing more harm than good,” Gretchen Watson, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and researcher told The Defender.Watson is one of the foremost authorities in the U.S. on the overmedicalization of children with psychiatric drugs. She is also the author of the forthcoming book, The Prescription Affliction: Why We Overmedicate Young Minds with Psychiatric Drugs - and How to Stop It.” (Pre-order on Amazon.)The forms may be buried in back-to-school packets. And they may portray mental health screening using language crafted to make parents who decline screening seem uncooperative, Watson said.The following are some of the questions asked to children as young as 8 years old.

1. In the past few weeks, have you wished you were dead?
2. Have you felt that you or your family would be better off if you were dead?
3. Have you been habing thought about killing yourself?
4. Have you ever tried to kill yourself?
5. Are you having thoughts of killing yourself right now?
6. How ofter have you felt overwhelmed in the past month?
7. Are you sad much of the time?

Some screening tools even ask children how often they have felt that they have something important to contribute to society, and what strategies they have found helpful in managing their mental health.Watson said:Now, I ask, how would you have answered those questions at 8? At 13? As a K-12 student, I was definitely not think about my contribution to society or managing my mental health. Were you?”Learn more about Dr. Suzanne Burdick and the Children’s Health Defense atchildren’s health defense.org

What if the secret to a stronger, more passionate relationship could be broken down into clear, actionable steps? “During my doctoral studies in clinical sexology, one theme kept coming up: The concept of low desire . While some couples manage to maintain their passion throughout the years, others slowly drift into emotional distance. I wanted to understand why this happens and how desire shapes not only intimacy but also our sense of self and connection with the person we choose to spend our lives with. For me, this question wasn’t simply academic. It was undeniably personal.” - Anna Elton, Ph.D.Anna Elton, PhD, LMFT, CST, is a licensed marriage and family therapist, certified sex therapist, and clinical sexologist whose work sits at the intersection of desire, identity, communication, and modern relationships. She is the creator of multiple therapeutic models used by clinicians and couples across the United States, including frameworks that treat desire as a measurable signal of relational health rather than a fixed trait.

Dr. Elton is known for translating complex psychological dynamics into clear, compassionate, and actionable frameworks. Drawing on neuroscience, attachment theory, and relationship science, her work focuses on how emotional connection, attraction, conflict, and digital habits shape long-term relational patterns. She works with couples, clinicians, families, executives, and organizations, helping them understand what drives attraction, disconnection, and meaningful relational change over time.

Her insights have been featured on PBS, FOX, ABC, and NBC. She teaches nationally through PESI and the Modern Sex Therapy Institutes, and has presented internationally, including in Japan, Canada, Italy, and Australia. Dr. Elton is also the host of Life, Love, Etc., a relationship-focused show where she explores desire, communication, intimacy, and the psychology of connection. She writes for Psychology Today through her blog, Life, Love, Etc., and continues to develop research-informed tools that support emotional and intimate connection in a world that often works against it. Beyond her professional work, Dr. Elton lives the principles she teaches. She has been married to her high school sweetheart, Michael, for over two decades, and together they are raising their three children. The Formula of Desire: What Brings Us Together and Drives Us Apart, and the Science of Connection (August 4, 2026 | New Harbinger Publications)

What if the secret to a stronger, more passionate relationship could be broken down into clear, actionable steps? In The Formula of Desire, licensed marriage and family therapist and certified sex therapist Dr. Anna Elton reframes desire as a dynamic, relational process shaped by attention, emotional safety, stress, and everyday interaction―not chemistry alone.

Drawing on neuroscience, attachment theory, and decades of clinical experience, the book shows why desire often fades in long-term relationships even when love remains, and what couples can do about it. At the center of the book is the Relational Desire Formula, a practical framework that explains how awareness, emotional connection, affectionate expression, and reciprocal attraction support desire, while stress, unmet needs, and emotional withdrawal weaken it.

An accompanying self-assessment translates these patterns into a relational desire score, offering a clear snapshot of relationship health and helping couples see where connection is strong and where it needs attention. Through research, clinical stories, and structured exercises, The Formula of Desire explores:

● Why attraction and desire change over time and why that’s normal

● How stress, routine, and emotional labor retrain the brain away from intimacy

● The difference between being physically present and emotionally available

● How to navigate conflict using effective communication

● How to repair without escalation, shutdown, or loss of emotional and erotic connection

● What desire equilibrium is and how restoring balance revives intimacy

● How desire can redirect toward work, fantasy, or other people without conscious intent

● What actually helps intimacy return by creating the conditions for desire to re-emerge naturally

The book offers a clear framework for understanding relationship shifts, improving communication, and restoring connection, intimacy, and desire through intentional change.
