LEAP OF PERCEPTION: The Transforming Power of Your Attention

Guest Name: Penney Peirce

What is the perception of the future? And how do we get there now?” And why is it not surprising that almost every major university is conducting research in the areas of intuition and human perception? In the Leap of Perception, Penney Peirce focuses on these questions, less intent on how people might view the future and more concerned with exploring how people will use perceptual processes in an evolving world. Leap of Perception helps us understand, and learn to practice, new "attention skills" that will soon seem normal, and it provides numerous “Try This!” exercises that allow the reader to absorb the book’s content through both left- and right-brain knowing. Included are such things as: direct knowing, undivided attention, flow attention, unified field attention, collective-self attention, and working skillfully with the imaginal realm to materialize new realities in the blink of an eye.

SHOW GUEST: Matthew Gdovin, PHd

Dr. Matthew Gdovin's lab is researching and conducting clinical trials using a therapy that combines a drug and a specific wavelength of light that activates the drug which is called, "photodynamic therapy." The photodynamic therapy protocol developed by Dr. Gdovin's team triggers the cell to commit suicide, a processes known as "apoptosis." Unlike the devastating effects of more traditional therapies such as radiation and chemotherapy, they lab's studies conclude that the compound without the light is not only not toxic, the light without the compound is benign. The result is cell death is limited only to the areas containing the compound and receiving the light.

So far, the therapy has been successful in killing a less aggressive breast cancer, an aggressive triple negative breast cancer, two forms of prostate cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Amazingly, 70% - 98% of the targeted cancer cells underwent apoptosis within two hours of treatment. Next, the team will test their photodynamic therapy in other cancer cells lines including, lung cancer, liver cancer, and glioblastoma. Hope is on the way! Join us as Dr. Gdovin describes to our listeners the magnitude of their initial findings and the "next steps" with the FDA and clinical trials as soon an Investigational New Drug (IND) is granted.

CALLING THE SHOTS Why Parents Reject Vaccines

Show Guest: Jennifer Reich

“In 2015, California lawmakers voted to approve SB 277, a bill that ends granting vaccine exemptions to parents who cite personal or religious reasons; medical exemptions are still allowed. This ruling came as a huge blow to the powerful anti-vaccination movement, but after 147 people contracted measles at Disneyland in late 2014, the decision was clear. In order to prevent a widespread outbreak of measles, mumps, and rubella, the national vaccination rate must be between 96% and 99%. Immunizations against childhood illnesses are touted as one of the greatest achievements in modern medicine, so why would parents rather risk their child contracting a deadly virus than simply receiving a round of vaccinations?

Sociologist Jennifer A. Reich spent over a decade studying the phenomenon of vaccine refusal and interviewing everyone involved, from the of parents who distrust vaccines and the corporations that make them, to the health providers and policy makers who see them as essential to ensuring community health. Placing these stories in dialogue with those of pediatricians who see the devastation vaccine-preventable diseases can cause and the policy makers who aim to create healthy communities, Calling the Shots offers a unique opportunity to understand the points of disagreement on what is best for children, communities, and public health and the opportunities to bridge these differences.
