Description
There are numerous controversies in our world today. Unfortunately, our printed, broadcast, and social media outlets do us a disservice by their bias and slanted discussions. This series of podcasts will address medical and non medical controversies from a fact based perspective and point out the misleading perspectives of the aforementioned media. Many of the controversies I will discuss concern topics that many don't want to approach. We will discuss such topics as gender identity, the misnomers of Native American and African American terminology, and explore the definition of an "expert".

While our current White house leadership frets over “climate change”, overpopulation looms as the real and more important existential threat. With the world’s population exceeding 8 billion in February of 2023 and what would be 12 billion had not billions died in conflicts from World War 1 to the present time. This podcast will discuss social, psychologic, and physical stresses that lead to war, famine, disease, as well as behaviors that reduce the reproductive ability of a population and increase the death rate to combat overpopulation.
It has been an observation of many cosmetic and orthognathic surgeons that a dramatic change in an individual’s physical appearance brings about an equally dramatic change in that person’s self-image and attitude. This podcast will use several examples of an extreme reaction to an individual’s improvement in their outward appearance and how it may have related to perversion and even murder.
Praying in public and your children praying in school are too different legal issues, both of which have been opined by the Supreme Court and are currently the Rule of the Land. This podcast will distinguish between public prayer and school prayer and the arguments for and against each.
Losing as well as winning is part of life. However, there are several people who lose repetitively and lose despite all odds that are in favor of a winning outcome. From this podcasters roots to growing up in Illinois, three candidates will be discussed of which the third candidate will be identified unmistakable and unarguably as the ultimate loser.
The COVID-19 pandemic was declared ended as of February 2022. Who do we credit for ending the pandemic? Was it Anthony Fauci, was it the vaccines, was it either President Biden or President Trump? This podcast will discuss several candidates. The actual person to attribute the end of the pandemic will surprise you.
Newton’s Third Law of Motion identifies that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In politics, it amounts to an opposite overreaction. This podcast explores the over reactions related to the George Floyd killing, the riots in many of our cities, the January 6th protests, and several others where the overreaction to each event significantly and negatively impacted the United States.
The most controversial political tug of war in the United States centers around pro-abortion versus prolife. The extremists on both sides are unwilling to compromise and do not seem to thinks that the volume of their argument has nothing to do with the validity of it. This podcast explores where each side is right and where each side is wrong and offers a workable compromise.
Neanderthals thrived in ice age Europe for nearly 500,000 years. They became extinct and we (Homo sapiens) replaced them and are not yet extinct after about just 50,000 years. This podcast explores the two leading theories for Neanderthal extinction and offers a third not previously brought forward.
Many people cannot understand why a member of one sex can be romantically attracted to a member of the same sex. This podcast will explore the various mechanisms by which this can occur based on evolutionary, historical, and medical, and psychologic principles.
This podcast unabashedly exposes the term “African American” as scientifically incorrect as well as being demeaning and insulting. It further challenges the politically correct police as to their motives for perpetuating what is not only wrong but is racist and divisive in and of itself.
In this podcast, the shortcomings and flaws of mask mandates is exposed. It will explain why those cities and states that imposed strict mask mandates developed more COVID-19 cases per capita than those that did not.
Today, our politicians play a game with our ethnic nomenclature. In this podcast, I point out the incorrect and inappropriate term “Native American” and actually suggest a better one that is not only scientifically correct but affronts no one.
While we rightfully attribute overweight and obesity to overeating, the readily available plethora of high calorie snacks and fast foods as well as the sedentary workplace and entrainment availability by our digital world, there is a more underlying cause. This podcast explores this underlying cause and explains why some overeat and never gain weight and others gain weight even while dieting.
It is curious to note that the dictionaries of the 1970’s defined gender as sex at birth. However, today, dictionaries define gender as a choice of sexual identity. This podcast points out three methods to determine a person’s true “gender/sex” and points out how different men and women are by evolutionary selection and how divisive gender terminology has become.
Yes! Anointing a virologist, Dr. Anthony Fauci, as an expert to lead a COVID team was a mistake. His wrong statements about the origin of the virus, his incorrect assertion that human to human transmission would not occur, his uncertainty about face mask efficacy etc. underscores the fact that he was not an expert and never treated a single COVID patient himself and didn’t listen to those that did.
Statistically, oral cancer related to HPV in the true oral cavity is less than 5% whereas HPV related cancer in the pharynx is reported at around 85%. Why is That? This dramatic difference will be explored related to anatomy, cofactors, and treatment.
The commonly accepted notion is that smokeless tobacco is a causative agent for oral cancer. Yet, the number of cases has been zero in this cancer surgeon’s experience in over 3,000 cases and few documented cases have been published in our literature. This podcast will investigate the mechanism of smokeless tobacco from the commonly used products in the United States and Europe as compared to the well-known carcinogenic aspects of Bettle Nut and Slake Lime used in India and Asia.
