409 — Re-Run: When Pharma Owns the Data–Dr. Sabine Hazan’s Congressional Call-Out

In this episode (recorded last year), Dr. Sabine Hazan, a gastroenterologist and microbiome researcher, joins the hosts of the BS Free MD Podcast to lay bare what she claims is a systemic problem: the undue influence of large pharmaceutical companies over medical research, regulatory bodies, publication of scientific data, and the shaping of public-health narratives.She describes her own journey during the COVID-19 pandemic: attempting research on treatments (including microbiome related therapies, and alternative protocols) and encountering what she characterizes as institutional resistance—difficulty getting approvals, publishing studies, and even testifying to a congressional hearing. She argues that when corporate and regulatory interests become entangled, the integrity of science suffers, independent investigators are silenced or sidelined, and public trust erodes. GET SOCIAL WITH US!🎧 Subscribe to BS Free MD for unfiltered insights on medicine, wellness, and everything in between.💬 Got thoughts or questions?
