  • Reflections: Looking Back at Where We've Been - 10/28/26

    In this October 28th webinar, Tom revisits a presentation he gave four to five years ago, reflecting on what he would now update, question, or explain differently. He shares a recent encounter with a listener who asked, “Is there anything different you would say now from 4 to 5 years ago?”—the same question he had already decided to explore.  

    Highlights from this session include:

    • Tom revisits historical contagion experiments, examining how researchers interpreted their results and questioning whether those experiments demonstrated transmission from sick people to healthy people. He also shares his perspective on the possible role of expectations and emotional connections in experiences of illness.  
    • A return to the meaning of virus isolation, including a recorded virology lecture discussing the terms “isolate,” “variant,” and “strain.” Tom contrasts the procedures described in the lecture with his understanding of isolation and revisits cell-culture experiments involving changes in nutrients and antibiotics.      
    • The return of the “Pumpkin challenge,” in which viewers compare electron-microscope images described as SARS-CoV-2 with images from kidney biopsies and other tissue samples. Tom uses the comparison to question whether visual resemblance alone can establish what a particle is.  
    • A discussion of cell diagrams, tissue preparation, and microscopic artifacts, drawing on Harold Hillman’s arguments about geometry and how structures should appear in different sections. Tom applies these concerns to ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum, synapses, and the blood-brain barrier.    
    • Tom revisits his views on DNA, heredity, and mitochondrial function, while acknowledging that parts of his earlier writing no longer reflect his current thinking. He emphasizes his distinction between observing a structure and establishing what that structure does.  
    • An exploration of structured water, including examples from Veda Austin’s work and quotations about the liquid-crystalline nature of living tissues. Tom also draws parallels between his view of biological structures and architectural forms involving domes, antennas, columns, and water.  
    • A brief return to heart circulation and stenting, including Tom’s interpretation of a trial comparing stents with a sham procedure. He revisits his criticism of the blocked-artery explanation of heart attacks and discusses what he considers the role of the heart’s energetics.  

    Tom closes with Jude Roberts’ rendition of “Hallelujah,” reflecting on resilience and the importance of holding on to one’s spirit during difficult times. He also shares that Jude and his fellow musicians are expected to return for the next New Biology Experience. Throughout the webinar, Tom emphasizes revisiting earlier conclusions, separating observations from interpretations, and remaining willing to change one’s understanding.

  • Q&A Webinar from October 21st, 2026

    In this October 21st webinar, Tom opens by thanking the community for helping Mark and Dr. Sam Bailey reach their fundraising goal of $250,000. He expresses his appreciation for everyone who contributed and hopes this will allow the Baileys to move forward.
    Highlights from this session include:
    -Tom revisits Harold Hillman’s critique of cell-biology techniques, including subcellular fractionation, electron microscopy, and binding studies. He discusses Hillman’s concerns about tissue preparation, artifacts, and experimental controls, returning to the distinction between observations and the explanations offered for them.

    -A discussion of jet propulsion, in which Tom uses AI-provided figures and images concerning Boeing 747 fuel capacity, fuel consumption, and flight distances to question the conventional explanation of how jets are powered. He also shares a social-media account proposing an alternative explanation, while acknowledging that he has not verified much of that account.

    -Tom discusses his concerns about how vaccine and other medical studies report benefits and harms, the composition of control groups, and comparisons between vaccinated and unvaccinated groups. He uses illustrative examples to explain his criticisms of study design and reporting.
    -A return to Strophanthus seed extract, prompted by a viewer questioning whether Tom’s criticisms of chemical identification also apply to his own statements about its active ingredient.

    Questions discussed in this webinar include:
    -“How to prepare for pregnancy?”
    -“What about tests, markers in pregnancy, blood pressure, labs, group B infection, genetic testing, amniocentesis, ultrasound and all the rest of it?”
    -“What about taking out adenoids versus a technique called mewing?”
    -“Why do we sometimes get positive outcomes on vaccine studies?”
    -“What are glucose, chlorine dioxide, carbohydrates, if not molecules?”
    -“Does bone broth increase bone density and why aren't vegans all osteoporotic or osteopenic?”
    -“If I'm going on about, no testosterone in testicles and no molecules and atomic theory hasn't been proven, doesn't that apply to Strophanthus and Ouabain?”

    Throughout the webinar, Tom emphasizes examining how claims are investigated, distinguishing observations from interpretations, and acknowledging uncertainty—including in his own earlier explanations. He closes by returning to the question of what was done and what was observed, rather than relying on a proposed mechanism alone.

  • Final Measles Response + Update on the Bailey's Court Case with Dr. Mark Bailey - 10/14/26

    In this October 14th webinar, Tom is joined by Dr. Mark Bailey for an update on Dr. Sam Bailey’s legal case in New Zealand and the community effort to support her. They then return to Tom’s recent measles discussions, reviewing a commenter’s responses and the evidence presented in support of those claims.

    Update on Dr. Sam Bailey’s case:
    -Mark describes the proceedings surrounding Sam’s online publications, the financial and personal burden of the case, and her decision to continue publishing her work. He explains that the fundraising campaign is intended to pay outstanding fines and court costs to prevent bankruptcy proceedings scheduled for November 5, 2026.
    -At the time of the recording, Mark reports that the campaign had raised $182,000 toward its $250,000 goal. Tom encourages viewers to contribute, while Mark also suggests contacting the Medical Council of New Zealand for those unable to offer financial support.

    Dr. Sam Bailey fundraiser link here.

    Highlights from this session include:
    -Tom and Mark revisit how measles is diagnosed, discussing overlapping symptoms, Koplik spots, and their concerns about distinguishing measles from other illnesses through clinical observations alone.
    -They examine historical blood-inoculation experiments, experiments involving monkeys, and contact-tracing data, questioning whether these establish the person-to-person transmission described by the commenter.
    -A discussion of cell-culture experiments, cytopathic effects, and experimental controls, with both speakers questioning what those findings demonstrate about the material added to a culture.
    -Tom and Mark contrast the use of “isolation” to describe growing a virus in cell culture with their requirement for directly separating and identifying particles from an original sample. Mark also discusses the distinction between obtaining a particle and demonstrating its claimed properties.
    -They respond to the commenter’s claims about 1,400-fold measles-virus purification, Enders’ neutralization experiments, and RT-PCR detection, explaining why they dispute the conclusions drawn from these methods.

    Throughout the webinar, Tom and Mark emphasize examining methods, distinguishing observations from interpretations, and using precise language. They close by encouraging viewers to review their published work and support Sam’s campaign.

  • A Fresh look at Childhood Illness with Dawn Lester - 10/7/26

    In this October 7th webinar, Tom is joined by Dawn Lester to discuss her new book, A Fresh Look at Childhood Illness. Together, they explore childhood illness, measles, vaccines, terrain theory, pleomorphism, chronic disease, and the importance of moving away from fear-based thinking.

    A link to Dawn Lester's book here.
    A link to her SubStack here.

    Highlights from this session include:
    -Tom opens by asking why we need “a fresh look at childhood illness” when mainstream sources claim vaccines have prevented hundreds of millions of deaths and that children today are healthier than ever.
    -Dawn explains that while certain statistics may suggest lower infant mortality, many children today are clearly struggling with chronic conditions, which calls for a deeper look at what health and illness really mean.
    -Tom and Dawn discuss whether illnesses such as measles, chickenpox, mumps, diphtheria, and flu are truly distinct biological entities with specific microbial causes.
    -Dawn emphasizes that these illnesses have not been proven to be distinct, specific entities and points out that many symptoms overlap across different childhood conditions.
    -Tom discusses the problem with defining measles by symptoms such as cough, coryza, conjunctivitis, and Koplik spots, arguing that these do not reliably establish measles as a specific diagnosis.
    -They explore how labels can obscure what is actually happening in the body, and Dawn encourages asking what the body is doing rather than relying on disease labels.
    -Dawn explains the terrain perspective, where symptoms such as mucus, fever, rashes, vomiting, or diarrhea may be understood as the body’s clearing or detoxification processes rather than evidence of an invading pathogen.
    -Tom and Dawn discuss pleomorphism and the idea that bacteria, yeast, fungi, and other forms may arise from fundamental life forms depending on the internal terrain.
    -They contrast two views of microbes: one where microbes are fixed, distinct disease-causing species, and another where they shift form based on the body’s needs and conditions.
    -Tom points out that if a microbe truly caused a disease, it should be isolated and shown to cause the same disease in a well person or animal, which he argues has not been demonstrated.
    -Dawn discusses how chronic conditions may arise when acute clearing processes are repeatedly suppressed with medications, vaccines, or other interventions.
    -Tom and Dawn connect this idea to asthma and other chronic childhood conditions, suggesting that the body may need to complete an interrupted clearing process.
    -Dawn emphasizes emotional factors, childhood trauma, beliefs, fear, and the importance of asking what is happening in a child’s whole life—not just what symptoms are present.
    -They close by discussing how the book is intended to lessen fear, support self-empowerment, and help parents feel confident making informed decisions.

    Dawn shares that people can find her on Substack at DawnLester.substack.com, through Dawn’s Writings, and through her podcast, Dawn of Discernment. Her book is available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle.
    Throughout the webinar, Tom and Dawn emphasize moving away from fear, questioning disease labels, looking at what the body is actually doing, and helping parents feel confident, informed, and empowered in their approach to childhood illness.

  • Measles, Contagion & What the Evidence Shows + Q&A - 9/30/26

    In this September 30th webinar, Tom opens by revisiting the distinction discussed with Jordan Grant between the operationalist and realist perspectives. He emphasizes asking, “What did you do?” and “What did you see?” rather than relying on conclusions, theories, or interpretations.


    Highlights from this session include:
    -Tom responds to comments from a Rumble thread challenging his previous webinar on measles, especially the claim that the measles virus has been isolated.
    -He breaks down the definition of “isolation” and argues that virology uses the word differently from its common meaning: separating one thing from all other things.
    -He discusses the Enders measles paper, cell culture experiments, cytopathic effect, and the problem of calling cell breakdown “virus isolation.”
    -He reviews a rhesus macaque measles challenge study and questions the claim that monkeys were inoculated with “wild type measles virus,” arguing that what was used was a tissue culture rather than purified virus.
    -He examines the issue of measles genotyping and argues that if RNA cannot be sequenced directly from a clinical specimen without first mixing it with cell culture materials, the origin of the sequence becomes unclear.
    -He returns to the question of contagion, pointing out that seeing multiple people sick around the same time is not the same as proving transmission from one person to another.
    -He discusses the role of belief, expectation, and what people are told in illness experiments, suggesting that belief may be one of the strongest variables in reported contagion studies.
    -He reviews a topical DMSO and ascorbic acid study on squamous cell skin lesions, noting that while the lesions may shrink, the larger question is whether the person’s overall health or underlying condition has improved.
    -He closes with a broader reflection on modern medicine and argues that the introduction of government-funded healthcare, particularly Medicare, was one of the most consequential events in modern medicine because of its effect on competition, innovation, cost, and centralized control.

    Throughout the webinar, Tom emphasizes staying grounded in direct observation, precise definitions, and clear experimental methods. He encourages listeners to focus less on scientific-sounding conclusions and more on the practical questions: What was actually done, what was actually seen, and does the evidence support the claim?

  • Everything you want to know about Measles 9/23/26

    In this September 23rd webinar, Tom focuses the full session on “everything we need to know about measles.” He explains that his goal is to create a clear reference people can share with doctors, reporters, health freedom advocates, virologists, or anyone asking what we know about measles.
    He organizes the discussion around five main questions:
    -Is measles a specific biological entity?
     -Is measles transmissible, i.e., contagious?
     -Does the virus exist?
     -Has it ever been isolated?
     -Did vaccines actually get rid of this disease called measles?

    Highlights from this session include:
     -Tom examines whether measles can be accurately diagnosed by signs and symptoms alone, comparing this to other diagnoses such as pregnancy or fractures.
     -He discusses different approaches to diagnosis in Western medicine, Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, and homeopathy.
     -He reviews the question of whether symptoms such as fever, rash, Koplik spots, nausea, anxiety, or back pain can specifically identify measles.
     -He looks at CDC and AI-based responses stating that laboratory confirmation is considered essential because clinical diagnosis alone is not reliable.
     -He argues that if measles could not be reliably diagnosed before modern molecular tests, then historical measles statistics become difficult to interpret.
     -He examines whether measles has been proven to be transmissible or contagious, including historical claims involving Francis Home’s blood-transfer experiment.
     -He discusses why injecting blood from one person into another does not prove a virus or contagious agent was transmitted.
     -He reviews the 1954 Enders paper and argues that the cell-culture method used to claim measles virus isolation was not valid proof of isolation.
     -He discusses Stefan Lanka’s related control work and the claim that cytopathic effects can occur without any measles sample present.
     -He questions antibody, antigen, and PCR-based tests on the basis that they depend on prior isolation of the virus.
     -He addresses the claim that measles infection causes immune suppression and offers a different interpretation of antibody changes.
     -He closes by discussing the common argument that vaccines got rid of measles, and he offers his view that vaccines changed the expression of childhood illness rather than eliminating a specific viral disease.

    Throughout the webinar, Tom emphasizes logic, falsifiability, and the need to distinguish direct observation from assumptions. He encourages listeners to send the webinar to doctors, virologists, health freedom leaders, and others so the claims around measles, transmission, virus isolation, immunity, and vaccines can be openly examined and debated.

  • Has science proven the existence of vitamins and hormones in the blood? - 9/16/26

    In this September 16th webinar, Tom follows up on his previous conversation with Jordan Grant about the existence of vitamins, hormones, fatty acids, proteins, and other claimed chemicals in living beings.
    He opens by clarifying that he is not speaking for Jordan and that any misunderstanding is his own. He then revisits one of the main ideas from their conversation: the difference between the “operationalist” way of thinking, which asks what was actually done and observed, versus the “realist” way of thinking, which often begins with theories or stories.

    Highlights from this session include:
     -Tom explains why he believes healing begins with careful observation: what do you do, what do you feel, what happens when you change something, and what can be directly seen or tested.
     -He shares how this way of thinking shaped his medical interviewing style, even back in medical school.
     -He uses Tolkien’s quote, “He that breaks a thing to find out what it is, has left the path of wisdom,” as a summary of the issue with breaking living things apart to claim knowledge of what they are.
     -He discusses the difference between whole foods or whole organ preparations and isolated chemicals.
     -He explains why he sees chemical hormones, synthetic vitamins, and other isolated substances as having effects, but not necessarily proving that those substances exist in the same form in living beings.
     -He contrasts suppressive chemical effects with what he sees as a more restorative approach using whole organ preparations, tissue preparations, herbs, homeopathy, and food.
     -He discusses Standard Process, Royal Lee, protomorphogens, and the idea of supporting organ function with homologous tissue rather than isolated chemicals.
     -He explains why he still sees a place for certain chemicals, such as liposomal vitamin C, DMSO, chlorine dioxide, or even temporary hormone use, but only with a clear understanding that these are chemical interventions, not proof that those chemicals naturally exist in the body.
     -He applies this same thinking to blood tests, IV vitamins, polycystic ovarian syndrome, folic acid in wheat, testosterone replacement, and anxiety.

    Throughout the webinar, Tom emphasizes asking “what did you do?” and “what did you see?” rather than starting with theoretical explanations. He closes by encouraging listeners to change the way they think, focus on direct observation, and return to simple experiments and lived experience as the foundation for healing.

  • Are there vitamins in food (or us)? with Dr. Jordan Grant - 9/9/26

    In this September 9th webinar, Tom welcomes Dr. Jordan Grant for a focused conversation on vitamin D, vitamins, hormones, omega-3s, genes, and other claimed substances in biology.

    Tom opens by clarifying the purpose of the discussion: this is not about whether cod liver oil, butter, or Weston A. Price-style foods are beneficial, and it is not about attacking anyone’s intentions. The specific question is whether the studies presented as proof actually demonstrate the existence of substances like vitamin D in foods or living beings.

    He explains that many people have sent him a Weston Price Journal article claiming to show the type and amount of vitamin D in various foods, and he invites Jordan to walk through the evidence and the thinking process behind these claims.

    Highlights from this session include:
     -Tom and Jordan discuss the difference between what researchers actually do in a lab versus the stories later told about what those results mean.
     -Jordan introduces the distinction between scientific realism and an operationalist/instrumentalist way of thinking, emphasizing the importance of sticking to what can actually be observed.
     -They look at the “recipe” often used in claims about vitamins, hormones, nucleotides, amino acids, and other invisible entities: starting with tissue or food, applying chemical steps, creating a product, and then claiming the product was “isolated” from the original material.
     -Tom and Jordan examine papers describing vitamin D preparation and isolation, including the use of solvents, acids, chloroform, methanol, irradiation, and crystallization.
     -Jordan explains why he sees many of these claims as question-begging: researchers often assume the very entity they are supposed to prove.
     -They discuss fluorescence, spectroscopy, chromatography, and similar methods, questioning whether these tests actually prove the presence of a specific substance or simply record a lab behavior.
     -Jordan emphasizes that a peak, color change, crystal, or lab readout may be real as an observed effect, but that does not automatically prove the identity, origin, or biological role being claimed.
     -Tom and Jordan connect this same thinking to blood tests, hormone tests, vitamin D tests, B12 tests, cholesterol, genes, viruses, and PCR testing.
     -They discuss how this way of thinking can make people feel powerless by shifting attention away from lived experience and toward abstract, invisible mechanisms.
     -Tom closes by asking where people can hear more from Jordan, followed by a lighter final question about whether Jordan can do a pull-up.

    Throughout the webinar, Tom and Jordan emphasize returning to direct observation, questioning assumptions, and separating real-world effects from the stories built around them.

  • Ivermectin & Fenbendazole: Revolutionary Cure for Cancer or Scam? - 9/2/26

    In this September 2nd webinar, Tom opens his first livestream after summer break with updates from his summer, including time spent gardening, food processing, and preparing hundreds of jars, bottles, and freezer bags of homegrown vegetables, berries, pumpkins, and watermelon juice.

    Tom then previews the direction of upcoming webinars, explaining that he plans to address some of the feedback he has received around his claims about hormones, vitamins, omega-3s, and similar subjects. He clarifies that he is not simply saying “vitamins don’t exist,” but rather questioning whether these chemicals have been rigorously proven to exist in living beings or natural foods in the way they are commonly described.

    He also announces that next week, Jordan Grant will join him to look specifically at vitamin D and the question of whether it has been found in living substances or natural substances like butter or cod liver oil.

    This week’s news segment includes:
     -A BBC article about a trial being set for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, described as the alleged 9/11 mastermind. Tom comments on the story in his “if you believe that, you’ll believe just about anything” category.
    Highlights from this session include:
     -Tom examines the recent claims around ivermectin and fenbendazole/mebendazole as “groundbreaking” cancer treatments.
     -He reviews promotional material from The Wellness Company claiming that 84.4% of cancer patients in a 6-month follow-up group reported clinical benefit.
     -He points out the shifting language from “study” to “observational report” and emphasizes the importance of understanding what kind of research was actually done.
     -He notes that the outcomes were self-reported, including both the cancer status and the claimed improvements.
     -He highlights that the study began with 197 participants, but only 122 completed follow-up, leaving 75 people with no outcome information.
     -He explains that participants used varying doses, with some taking one capsule, others two, three, four, or variable doses, which he says makes it unlike a proper drug study.
     -He points out that many participants were also using other interventions, including supplements, diet changes, chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, making it impossible to attribute outcomes solely to ivermectin and mebendazole.
     -He reviews criticism from TechARP and then compares those criticisms with the original paper, concluding that the critique was largely accurate on the study’s limitations.
     -He argues that this was not a proper scientific cancer drug trial, but a self-reported observational cohort with no independent variable, no true control group, no verified diagnostic method provided, and too many uncontrolled factors.
     -He frames ivermectin and similar repurposed pharmaceutical drugs as part of the broader “health freedom” narrative that still accepts many of the same disease-model assumptions he questions.

    Tom closes by emphasizing that the goal of New Biology is to move away from fear-based, pharmaceutical-centered frameworks and toward a deeper understanding of life, health, illness, and what the body is actually doing.

  • Healing Is Hell When You're Heavy on Your Heels with Patrick Daly - 8/26/26

    In this livestream, Patrick, the movement specialist at New Biology Clinic, guest hosts while Tom is away and shares his perspective on movement, posture, foot mechanics, and the meaning behind “healing is hell when you’re on your heels.”

    Highlights from this session include:
    -Patrick introduces his background in movement training, including 15 years of experience working with people of all ages, abilities, injuries, surgeries, and physical challenges.
    -He explains that the body is not flawed, but is constantly communicating. When symptoms are ignored or masked, he says the body often “gets louder” until we pay attention.
    -He discusses the importance of the feet as the foundation of movement, especially how many people carry their weight back on their heels.
    -He breaks down the body’s mobile-stable-mobile-stable pattern, explaining how a stiff ankle can create compensations in the knee, hip, lower back, and beyond.
    -He compares the foot to the gas and brake pedals of a car: the ball of the foot helps propel the body forward, while the heel acts like a brake.
    -He connects being heavy on the heels with stiffness, compression, frozen joints, collapsed arches, bunions, knee issues, hip issues, and lower back pain.
    -He emphasizes the difference between “exercising” and “training,” encouraging people to move with attention, intention, awareness, and curiosity.
    -He discusses how emotional and psychological stress can show up physically in the body, often influencing posture, tension, and the way someone stands or moves.
    -He encourages gentle, present movement rather than forcing the body, and reminds viewers that the goal is to help the body feel safe enough to communicate and reorganize.

    Questions discussed in this webinar include:
    -My heel is painful. What can I do?
    -Do you know Doctor Reich Hammer?
    -About toe walking in toddlers. Back in the day, I recall talk of it being bad. I am now wondering if it really is a good thing off those heels.
    -Why do, why do humans favor their heels if it doesn't work for us?
    -I know I have been using my body in wrong ways, and that that is the basis of the physical problems in my right leg coming from my frozen pelvis. But is it true that unresolved emotions store themselves in the hips as well?
    -Any effect down the pipe on body weight increase?
    -Hey, Pat, I'll be starting PT again and tired of repeatedly beginning baby steps. Once I've become able to walk and run easily, I intend to go on to the treadmill and the elliptical. Any suggestions you have for me are welcome.

    Additional comments discussed include:
    -An autistic young man at my sister's wedding walked around all day on his tiptoes like a cow. I was fascinated. Since then, when fatigue sets in on long labor days, I walk on my tiptoes.
    -In childhood, I walked with the front half of my foot to try to be taller, as I was the youngest one in the family. It helped strengthen my calves, and it helped to outrun the guys on the playground.

    Throughout the webinar, Patrick emphasizes that movement begins with awareness, that the feet influence the entire body, and that healing requires listening to the body’s signals rather than forcing, ignoring, or outsourcing the process.
