This is a controversial podcast about what has been the most taboo topic in medicine for over half a century - vaccine-induced harm. Revolutionary ideas are often seen as heretical before time proves them otherwise.

Individuals like Marc are deemed heretics by the regime until they are proven right. Will Marc be proven right? Only time will tell, but there is enough signal on this issue that it merits serious scholarly investigation, which is what Marc has done with his new book, “The Needle’s Secret”.

A potentially revolutionary theory that it is the how about vaccines that is more impactful on human health than the what - THE BOLUS THEORY.

Are we living through the largest medical malpractice catastrophe in history?

Why Marc believes the chances of his investigation being incorrect are 1.1 trillion to 1!!!

If most cancer is a man-made induced phenomenon?

The avoidable tragedy of autism.

Can a change in vaccine application technique bring the medical benefits of vaccines we designed them to offer?

“A rapid advance in technology with a slower catchup in biology”. That simple but profound fact is at the crux of cancer. Week after week I walk into offices with dinosaur toys for my clients. Why? Because of exactly what Professor Thomas Seyfried will explain today - urban humans are evolutionary victims of the abundance of energy available, and storing all this excess, engineered and genetically modified energy is making us sick. It’s giving us cancer. But there’s good news - we have everything we need to beat cancer today.

Thomas N. Seyfried received his Ph.D. in Genetics and Biochemistry, and is currently a professor at Boston College. He is a many time award winning professor, chair of various committees and editorial boards, and has over 150 peer-reviewed publications and is the author of the book, “Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer” (Wiley, 1st ed., 2012).

The book presents extensive research that cancer can be best defined as a mitochondrial metabolic disease rather than as a genetic disease. This new concept has implications for the development of new non-toxic cancer therapies including the ketogenic diet.

Join us as we explore:

Why Professor Seyfried believes the reasons behind the rise in cancer are not a mystery, and can be precisely pinpointed.

Why the medical and academic establishmenst are getting cancer all wrong, and despite billions of dollars spent in “the war on cancer” more people die everyday than the day before, with about 70 people per hour in the US.

The what’s and how’s everyone can do to today to give themselves the best chance of preventing cancer - there’s two huge ones!

How the lives of wolves and domestic dogs clearly demonstrate the story of cancer in the modern age.

The two pronged attack Professor Seyfried believes can successfully target any cancer.
