Dr. Peter Breggin Hour - 12.10.25. Enlisting Nature’s Bounty In Our Healing Journey

Dr. Lynn Lafferty grew up around her two grandmothers, both farmers, learning lessons that helped chart the course in her life decades later. Some family stories had a lifelong impact. One great-grandmother was the local healer in her small rural community. When the Spanish Flu erupted, she used an elixir of elderberries and alcohol to treat 20 community members who fell ill with that dread disease. Not a single patient died. Lynn reports that no one in her extended family fell ill from that disease, and attributes their resistance to the nightly dose of elderberry elixir for all family members, which was a family ritual. Dr. Lafferty is an endowed professor at Nova Southeastern University, teaching pharmacy and medical students. She attributes her career choice to influences from her grandmothers, who inspired her direction in life. The life lessons she learned also drove her to seek rational solutions to the SARS-CoV-2 virus when it broke out, causing COVID in 2020. Challenges in Medical Education Dr Lafferty highlighted her concerns about the lack of education on essential nutrients and the influence of hospital protocols over resident physicians. She described a concerning mindset among psychiatry residents who expressed fear of harming patients with prescribed drugs, despite their extensive training and financial investment. Dr. Lafferty also recounted a personal experience involving her brother’s inadequate medical care, emphasizing the limitations imposed by hospital protocols and the lack of knowledge about basic treatments like magnesium deficiency. Truth and Love’s Transformative Power The Breggins discussed with Dr. Lafferty her experience speaking truthfully about healthcare issues, including her confrontation with a dean over her statements about Lipitor’s side effects. She expressed her commitment to speaking the truth and her belief that she is on a mission. Dr. Breggin and Ginger Breggin also confirmed their personal sense of being called to do their work. Authoritarian Control in Medical Progress Peter and Lynn discussed the impact of authoritarian control over medical institutions, highlighting how innovative doctors are being suppressed, which hampers progress in medicine and patient care. Pharmacists vs. Physicians: Education Gaps Dr. Breggin and Dr. Lafferty also examined differences between primary care doctors and pharmacists, Dr. Lafferty declaring that pharmacists are more science-based and less authoritarian than medical doctors. They highlighted how medical students receive limited pharmacology training compared to the comprehensive education received in the past. Therapy, Medication, and Scientific Reasoning Dr. Breggin raised the issue of the importance of therapy over medication for psychiatric and psychological issues and the potential benefits of pharmacists working with psychiatrists to monitor psychiatric drug side effects. Listening to the patient who is sitting in front of you and looking beyond the latest big pharmaceutical options were two important highlights that came out of the conversation. Seeking treatments with the least potential for harm and understanding the range of treatments available in the natural world of foods and supplements were also emphasized. Dr. Lafferty can be found at her website [https://drlynnlafferty.com/]. She offers courses [https://drlynnlafferty.com/all-courses/], some free. Her newest training is a 10-session course, held once a week, that gives a basic understanding of how to take care of yourself and your family best. Participants review body systems, how they work, and foods, herbs, and supplements that can help the body return to balance.

Dr. Peter Breggin Hour 12-03-25

The origins and meaning of Thanksgiving, including President Washington’s first national proclamation in 1789, and its historical significance. Peter shares his personal journey of recovery while doing a special neurological rehabilitation at the Aviv Clinic, where he has been receiving treatment for neurological injuries. The couple explores various topics, including Washington’s leadership, the Bill of Rights, and their shared experiences of faith and gratitude, while reflecting on the importance of love, education, and the power of community support.   Peter reads a proclamation from President Washington in 1789, which called for a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to acknowledge God’s blessings, particularly the opportunity to establish a form of government. He also discussed the significance of the 1781 Yorktown victory, where Washington’s combined American and French armies successfully blockaded and defeated the British under Cornwallis. Peter noted that the U.S. government was established as an independent nation in 1789, following the Jay Treaty in 1783, which was negotiated by John Jay to settle disputes with Britain.   U.S. Bill of Rights Distinctions   Peter discusses the unique nature of the Bill of Rights in the United States, emphasizing its role in protecting freedoms and distinguishing America from other countries with constitutions. He contrasted the U.S. Revolution with the French Revolution, highlighting the differences in leadership, particularly George Washington’s decision not to establish a monarchy despite his significant influence. Peter also touched on Washington’s retirement to Mount Vernon and his contemplation of liberating his slaves, noting the unusual nature of such a decision given the slaves’ economic value. Journey of Love and Recovery Peter and Ginger shared their belief in a loving God, and Peter shared his personal journey of recovery after a stroke. He described his passion for redbud trees and his experience of opening his heart to love and joy, both in nature and in his relationship with his wife, Ginger. They also explored the concept of the subconscious as a metaphor for God’s presence in our lives, concluding with reflections on the power of love and the importance of being open to receiving love. This week’s episode became a sweet and spontaneous exchange of ideas between a couple who deeply appreciate and love each other.

Dr. Peter Breggin Hour - We all swear we’ll never go to a hospital, and then it happens

Health [https://www.americaoutloud.news/category/subject-matter/healthcare/], Inspirational [https://www.americaoutloud.news/category/subject-matter/inspirational/], Lifestyle [https://www.americaoutloud.news/category/subject-matter/lifestyle/], The Breggin Hour [https://www.americaoutloud.news/category/podcasts/the-breggin-hour/] https://mega.nz/file/kohiiTLT#TG7leWXo2KZ6-mcsCxE69WbTImhUclncPTS9ir0t0I4 [https://mega.nz/file/kohiiTLT#TG7leWXo2KZ6-mcsCxE69WbTImhUclncPTS9ir0t0I4]   Acar accident, a stroke, a virulent infection, a broken hip…. may you never have to go to a hospital. We all swear we will never go—but then something happens and the next thing you know, you are in an ambulance. On The Breggin Hour, we had the great pleasure of talking with one of the most sensitive gentlemen we know—Dr. Francis Christian, who is for more than 30 years a physician, trauma surgeon, and poet. Dr. Christian was also one of the ethical and courageous physicians in Canada who spoke out very early against the COVID vaccine rollout—calling for genuine informed consent. Despite working in a remote region of Saskatoon, the psychological operations intent on silencing dissent and criticism found him, and he was fired [https://youtu.be/KaGWC-zyRK4?si=AguBoGdqsq03re4H] from his position with the University of Saskatchewan, College of Medicine. Dr. Christian has continued to speak truthfully about the vaccine dangers and is an eloquent advocate for patients, scientific medical practice, and medical ethics. Additionally, Dr. Christian has written and had published a book of poems, To A Nurse Friend, Weeping [https://tryhealingarts.ca/product/to-a-nurse-friend-weeping/]. The two physicians, Dr. Peter Breggin and Dr. Francis Christian, had a thoughtful and in-depth conversation ranging from medical ethics to each of their personal experiences in hospitals this year. Their discussion focused on healthcare experiences, particularly on hospital care and the role of hospitalists. Peter and Ginger shared their challenging experience with Peter’s hospitalization, including issues with a robot-like monitoring system and medication side effects. Dr. Christian, who has a Substack newsletter, discussed his own experience advocating for his granddaughter’s care in the hospital and emphasized that patients need to be their own best advocates. The conversation highlighted concerns about modern hospital practices, including the emphasis on quick patient turnover and the challenges posed by hospitalists and rotating medical staff. Hospitalists are full-time medical staff who have replaced personal physicians, who used to admit their patients into the hospital and then further oversee their treatment while hospitalized. Now, personal physicians have no contact or responsibility for their hospitalized patients who become managed by strangers who feel and have more allegiance to institutional rules and norms than to individual patients. Dr. Breggin and Dr. Christian describe their own personal frustrations trying to advocate for the safety and proper treatment of their families and themselves, and lament how much more difficult it is for nonmedical people to protect themselves and their families in a hospital setting.
