"Adventures with the Common Cold"

from Dr. Naomi Wolf's Outspoken · host Dr Naomi Wolf

“We are told by Big Medicine and Big Pharma that when we suffer from a cold or influenza, there is “no treatment” except over-the-counter medicines—or, if our condition worsens, hospitalization for bronchitis or pneumonia.But in fact, many peer-reviewed studies show shockingly dramatic benefits from traditional remedies for cold and flu—far better results than drugs can provide. Hibiscus, for instance, immediately lowered concentrations of the influenza virus in mammals. Black currant extract cut flu-related deaths in mice by fifty percent. Pomegranate extract made it far more difficult for flu viruses to replicate.All of this should be front-page news. Instead, these studies are buried to protect the multibillion-dollar cold and flu “industry.” Dr. Wolf reveals a powerful cold and flu protocol here and shares the science behind it.”Watch Now: From our sponsors:American Alternative Assets: Uncover the truth behind market turbulence.

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
