490: Bird Flu Facts

Author: Heartcast Media September 2, 2024 Duration: 36:02
What's the deal with bird flu? Is it actually something we should be worried about? What's the history of it? And why has there been a focus on it and why have millions of chickens been slaughtered because of it? Jacob Diaz, an independent researcher, explains today some of its history. He goes over what has happened this time around (and when initial bird flu "outbreaks" took place in the 2000s). He covers the flaws in the PCR testing and the logic of the supposed sickness and how the fear may be a tool to influence us to rely on Big Food and Big Pharma, rather than on independent small farmers and our own wherewithal for our health. Side note: Since this interview was recorded, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared Monkeypox a “public health emergency of international concern.” We would put Monkeypox in the same category as the bird flu: a tool to instill fear and designed to coerce the public into getting unnecessary vaccines.

Produced by Heartcast Media, Wise Traditions is a conversation about health that begins with a simple, radical idea: our ancestors might have known better. This podcast explores the foundations of well-being found in time-honored practices, traditional diets, and holistic living, moving beyond the confines of modern, engineered solutions. Each episode delves into practical and philosophical discussions on how to apply this ancestral wisdom to contemporary life, covering topics from nutrition and fitness to broader lifestyle choices that align with nature's rhythms. The dialogue is built on the premise that true vitality comes not from dominating the natural world, but from understanding and cooperating with it, a concept famously echoed by Dr. Weston A. Price. You'll hear from a variety of voices-practitioners, researchers, and everyday people-who are integrating these principles to cultivate resilience and health. It’s for anyone feeling disconnected from simplistic health trends and seeking a deeper, more rooted path to wellness. Tune in for thoughtful, often challenging conversations that reconnect the dots between what we’ve forgotten and how we can truly thrive.
