We took a look at everything happening under new leadership at Health and Human Services and all agencies under its purview.
We summarized the myriad changes into a succinct, point-by-point show on the reductions in funding, staffing, and programs.
Yes, we are Dumbing Down Healthcare.... a tragedy in the making.

We cover four important and key topics:
1) The Measles Outbreak and the response by the US Centers for Disease Control
2) How Foreign Aid Cuts are Setting the Stage for Disease Outbreaks around the World and in the US
3) How Food Safety is Jeopardized by Cuts in Federal Funding and Staffing, and
4) What’s Been Gutted in the Federal Healthcare Cutbacks

And we also offer you three steps to take action to make your voice heard and make our leaders accountable.

Psoriasis is a chronic disease that is characterized by excessive inflammation in the body, often manifesting as thick, scaly patches on the skin. Psoriasis impacts patients far beyond the skin, affecting emotional well-being and social interactions. The treatment journey can be long and fraught with challenges. This can lead people to a feeling of hopelessness, frustration, and isolation.

 As people navigate their psoriasis treatment journey, the importance of self-advocacy and maintaining a strong, collaborative relationship with a trusted healthcare provider becomes crucial to ensure access to the most effective care and support.

We have two guests today who can discuss the importance of self-advocacy and finding the right treatment for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.  First is Board Certified Dermatologist Omar Noor, MD, with practice locations in New York, New Jersey and California.  And we also have with us psoriasis patient, Mark, who can share insights into the effects on his health and his treatment path.

Links to CDC Childhood Vaccine Schedule and Association of Immunization Managers 

The United States has a great tradition and track record of childhood vaccination. So much so that measles was declared eliminated from the United States in the year 2000, due to high vaccination rates of 97%. In the past 25 years, vaccination rates have fallen dramatically due to misinformation about side effects and autism. 

We are now seeing increasing outbreaks of measles. We now have the measles outbreak in West Texas that has now spread to New Mexico, California, Alaska, Georgia, Kentucky, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Florida, starting with one unvaccinated person who returned to an unvaccinated community from foreign travel. 

We had 4 measles outbreaks in 2023, 16 outbreaks in 2024, and by February of 2025, just two months in, there have been 3 outbreaks. We are on track to have more outbreaks than 2023 and 2024 combined, given low vaccination rates. Measles outbreaks do not have to happen. They happen when we are not vaccinated. 

Joining us today is Michelle Fiscus, MD, FAAP, Chief Medical Officer, Association of Immunization Managers (AIM), board-certified pediatrician and former medical director of Tennessee’s Vaccine-Preventable Diseases and Immunization Program. Dr. Fiscus recently completed a 4-year term on the American Academy of Pediatrics Board of Directors and has served on workgroups for the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.

Watch this episode:  https://gotohealthmedia.com/best-sunscreen-practice-and-sun-protection-clothing-jeffrey-schneider-md/

In the US population as a whole, sun damage is the major driver of the increase in skin cancer in general and the accelerator of aging of the skin.  Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States.  More people are diagnosed with skin cancer each year than all other cancers combined!  The American Academy of Dermatology estimates that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime.

Skin cancer can metastasize and kill.  Its treatment can be disfiguring especially on exposed parts of the body which get a lot of sun damage.  Aging of the skin is also accelerated by sun damage.  That golden tan we aspire to can result in leathery and wrinkly skin as we get older.  Think ahead…. and protect yourself reasonably.

Our guest, Dr. Jeffrey Schneider, MD dermatologist and researcher,  served at Kaiser Permanente in Northern California for over thirty years and was Chief of Dermatology.  He is now Associate Professor in Dermatology at the University of California San Francisco, completing research and public education projects on sun protection.

In this interview, Dr. Schneider discusses the basic mechanisms of damage for each kind of cancer and simple steps of sensible sun protection which can help reduce risk.  We can have fun in the sun when we respect the limitations of exposure and take easy precautions.

A LOT of people are going through a hard time right now – either physically, financially, psychologically or even spiritually.

Are you going through a hard time, or do you know someone who is? 

We have doctors who can help us physically or psychologically. We have financial advisors who can help us with money. We have career counselors who can help us find a job. We have clergy who can guide us in our particular religion. 

But did you know there is such a thing as spiritual care? That there are professionals who can take care of our spirit? 

So many of us think about our bodies first, and that includes our physical body, our emotions, and our intellect. But somewhere in there is a soul, and the soul needs care as well. 

Our guest, Karen Erlichman DMin LCSW, is just the kind of spiritual direction provider you may be looking for.
