Food allergies are on the rise the past 20 years, with 200,000 patients requiring emergency care for food-based allergic reactions annually.

With the Holidays coming up, and many of us surrounded by food allergens such as peanuts, tree nuts, milk, egg, seeds, soy, we need to know what we are eating and what to stay away from.

And what to do to avoid allergic reactions and what to do in case of a severe response to a food we've just eaten.  It's a big job for parents to work with allergic kids and keep them safe, especially when the kids are elsewhere.

Today, we cover all this with Dr. Shahzad Mustafa, MD, the Chief of Allergy, Immunology and Rheumatology at Rochester Regional Health, and Margaret, mother of 16 year-old Matthew who lives with food allergies.  Learn more with us.

Project 2025 will have enormous negative impact on Public Health Programs funded by our 50 State Departments of Health.  State public health programs are funded by a combination of State tax revenues and generous Federal revenues given to the States on an as-needed basis.  Project 2025 will greatly reduce Federal funding to the States, and necessitate cutbacks in programs and services which manage and maintain public health.

Red States will suffer more than Blue States because Red State tax revenues and budgets are smaller due to lower household incomes.  

Examples of the programs that will be effected:

- Educating the public about diseases and prevention

- Managing vaccinations and public health emergencies

- Safety standards for workers, and compliance

- School nutrition programs

- Tracking and reporting statewide data for coordination at the Federal level

The FDA is reporting the worst cancer drug shortage in three decades - preceding the Covid 19 Pandemic. Why? Generic drugs are now manufactured mostly overseas, and there is a shortage of qualified drug manufacturers.

All U.S. medical institutions are scrambling to acquire these drugs in shorty supply, whether they be large medical institutions, rural practices, pediatric practices, or clinical trials.

Drugs are now being rationed among patients, particularly in rural and pediatric clinics, forcing reduced dosages or lower frequency, or poor drug substitutions.

What can we all do about it? Follow the 3-point Plan of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Call your Representative and Support the Plan.

Every half hour an American child is diagnosed with cancer. While this is a terrifying disease, there is still plenty of hope. As treatments continue to advance, more than 85% of children diagnosed with cancer survive five years or more. This is a huge improvement from the mid-1970s when the 5-year survival rate was about 60%.

Our guests today are John Guastaferro, Executive Director of Hyundai Hope on Wheels, and Emmy Cole, Youth Ambassador who has herself survived cancer.

Since 1998, the non-profit organization, Hyundai Hope On Wheels has contributed to research and program grant funding, bringing its total giving to a quarter-billion dollars.

You can help fight childhood cancer by donating on their website below, OR when you buy a Hyundai car. All Hyundai dealers nationwide, and Hyundai USA, donate a portion of your purchase to this fund for research, treatment and survivorship.

Did you know over one third of women say their oral health has declined as they have grown older, starting at the age of 40?

As women age and begin menopause, oral health and hygiene become increasingly important. A change in hormone levels during menopause can cause gums to become swollen, irritated and more susceptible to bleeding. Teeth are also more prone to plaque, leading to a higher risk for tooth decay, gingivitis, and advanced gum disease.

So today, we’re going to discuss How to Talk with your Dentist about the Impact of Menopause, and Aging, on your Teeth and Gums.

Our guest is someone who should know all about this. Please welcome Sarah Chavarria. She is Chief Executive Officer and President for Delta Dental Insurance Company, the leading dental insurance provider serving more than 31 million members. Sarah provides overall leadership and strategic direction for the organization, partnering with the Delta Dental Executive Leadership Team and Board of Directors to deliver on the enterprise’s purpose to improve health by providing access to quality care.

A growing number of children and teens in the U.S. are struggling with mental health conditions, but parents, teachers, and other caregivers are often at a loss when concerns arise.

To help address the rising concerns of parents and caregivers who are struggling to navigate children's mental health, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has released its new book called “You Are Not Alone for Parents and Caregivers.”

This book provides comprehensive, compassionate, and practical guidance for families, educators, caregivers, and mental health professionals seeking to support their children through mental health challenges.

With us today is the author of this new book, Christine Crawford, M.D., MPH. She is the associate medical director for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) which is the country’s largest grassroots mental health organization. She is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Vice Chair of Education at the Boston University School of Medicine.

Project 2025 lays out highly charged statements about gender identity and sexual orientation, demanding huge changes in the federal government's approach to

“The redefinition of sex to cover gender identity and sexual orientation and pregnancy to cover abortion should be reversed in all HHS and CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid) programs as was done under the Trump Administration."

“The next conservative President must make the institutions of American civil society hard targets for woke culture warriors. This starts with deleting the terms ....", followed by a long list of expressions "reproductive health", "reproductive rights", and "DEI."

This video details how Project 2025 wants to redefine the family in terms of Christian and biblical values , despite the fact that one in three children in the US lives in a non-traditional family.

Despite the Project 2025 claims of the American family in crisis, research evidence shows that “...mounting evidence indicates that underlying factors — such as strong and stable relationships, parental mental health, socio-economic status and access to resources — have a greater impact on child success than does family structure itself.”

Project 2025 also wants to eliminate Head Start, with numerous accusations, despite multiple studies confirming the program's effectiveness.

Not only does Project 2025 want to abandon abortion nationwide, it wants to a) stop foreign assistance to any nation that approves of abortion and b) rewrite United Nations and World Health Organization policy documents, policy statements, and technical literature to eliminate any mention of the procedure or training of professionals.
