Born Free Method: The Podcast
The institutions and individuals who run the world would like you to believe that you are powerless. That there's nothing you can do to improve the wellbeing of your family. That you aren't smart enough to understand shmancy science stuff. That eating and living well is too hard for most...so why try? That exercising your rights to informed consent and refusal is irresponsible. That having a birth on you terms, in your own home would be incorrigible. That pregnancy is a disease and childbirth is a medical procedure. That your symptoms are "all in your head". That cervical cancer is an inevitable consequence of HPV infection.
They're wrong. Welcome to your revolution. nathanrileyobgyn.substack.com

Mary Holland, JD, and Kim Mack Rosenberg, JD: Unveiling Litigation on HPV Vaccine Injuries
Mary Holland takes center stage to discuss her extensive involvement in vaccine-related matters alongside her collaborator Kim Mack Rosenberg. Having delved into these concerns long before the release of their book: HPV Vaccine on Trial: Seeking Justice for a Generation Betrayed. Mary’s legal perspective uncovers a significant facet of the vaccine landscape. Notably, the pharmaceutical corporations behind vaccine production seemingly enjoy minimal liability, primarily due to a government compensation program and restricted avenues for civil court recourse. Shedding light on the potential risks of medical interventions, particularly vaccines, which hold the potential for injury and even death. Kim functions as a lawyer and holds the position of acting general counsel at Children’s Health Defense, a non-profit organization with the core objective of safeguarding the progressively vulnerable health and rights of children and other individuals. Alongside this role, she manages a personal law practice that specializes in addressing insurance-related challenges confronted by families dealing with individuals on the autism spectrum disorder and medical service providers catering to those with ASD. She has contributed as a co-author for HPV Vaccine On Trial, served as a co-editor and chapter author for Vaccine Epidemic, and penned The Parent’s Autism Sourcebook.Visit the show notes for more.Learn More & Connect with Mary Holland, J.D.:WebsiteLinkedInTwitterLearn More & Connect with Kim Mack Rosenberg, J.D.:WebsiteLinkedInTwitterInstagramReferences related to Mary and Kim’s work:The book: “The HPV Vaccine on Trial: Seeking Justice for a Generation Betrayed”The Book: “Turtles All the Way Down: Vaccine Science and Myth”Podcast on the book reviewVaccine Epidemic:Video: Safe, Affordable, Necessary, and Effective Vaccines and Vaccination PracticesChildren’s Health Defense This episode was made possible by:AHCC - code BELOVED10 for 10% off on Immune IntelBIRTHFIT - code BELOVED to get one month...

Leedia Riman, DDS: Exploring the interconnections of oral and overall health
Dr. Leedia is a skilled biological dentist who takes a comprehensive approach to dental care. She aims to address dental problems while also identifying and addressing their underlying causes to prevent future issues. Dr. Leedia focuses on women's dental health, recognizing the unique needs of the female body and considering hormonal fluctuations during different life stages, such as puberty to menopause, by achieving optimal dental health throughout.The connection between the mouth and the body is significant, and there is a very close relationship between these different parts. For instance, dentists often encounter women who experience tooth movement after giving birth multiple times due to the hormone relaxin, which affects ligaments, including those around the teeth. The similarities between oral and vaginal tissues in terms of histology, receptors, and healing processes are truly remarkable.Visit the show notes for more.Learn More & Connect with Leedia:WebsiteLeedia's Course: Reversing Dental Cavities in KidsThis episode was made possible by:BIRTHFIT - code BELOVED to get one month FREE in their B!

What the hell happened in Canada during COVID? An interview with Mary Sharpe, RM, MEd, PhD, and Deanna McLeod, HBSc, of the Canadian Covid Care Alliance
Sponsored by: Organifi, WeNatal, biOptimizers, BIRTHFIT, Immune Intel AHCC, Rosemary MeranWe thought it we had it bad in the U.S. during the COVID "moment", but Canada had its socks rocked off. Fortunately a group of scientists and healthcare workers turned freedom fighters in our mighty neighbor to the North have joined forces to provide much-needed data and insights from what we know (and don't know) about the new mRNA vaccines advertised to "halt the spread of SARS-CoV-2" in order to support family autonomy and re-boot truly informed consent. This alliance is called the Candian Covid Care Alliance (CCCA)In this mini-sode, you'll hear from two of the CCCA freedom fighters. Mary Sharpe, RM, MEd, PhD, is a highly experienced midwife and an original rebel in the renaissance of midwifery in Ontario, Canada, as well as a professor of midwifery. Deanna McLeod is the principal and founder of Kaleidoscope Strategic Inc., an independent medical research firm that supports Canadian clinicians in preparing world class evidence-based reviews that advance patient care nationally and internationally in the areas of oncology, premed immunology and psychology. In March 2021, she launched COVID Sense to equip the non-scientific person with the skills required to interpret COVID-19 data and make informed choices for themselves and others. She has authored over 46 scientific publications.

Germ theory and the collapse of medical science?
With viruses "all the rage" in the media, a true scientist must ask themself, "What is a virus?" The next logical question: "Can I be sure that viruses cause disease?" I don't have the answers to these questions, but curiosity abounds. It's not so much the need of the medical sciences to have the answers, but it should would be helpful if there were incentive structures in place to help us find our way. This isn't a solo cast focused solely on SARS-CoV-2. This is a solo cast focused on the sad path that the medical sciences have taken, particularly as scientific inquiry pertains to germ theory and viruses as the sole perpetrator in disease. And my concerns here are not just applicable to infectious disease. They're equally applicable to any of the medical specialties, not least of which is birth. If we aren't able to ask questions, then we'll never be presented with answers. If we continue to demonize pathogens as the sole perpetrators on human health, and fail to emphasize the importance of personal responsibility for one's health, we are doomed.
