Today's guest, Dr. Bruce MacIver dives into the knowns and unknowns of anesthesia's effect on human consciousness as well as some preliminary research he and Rajnish has done regarding plants and anesthetics.

Professor MacIver explores the molecular and cellular mechanisms of sedatives and anesthetics and how these drugs alter higher nervous system functions to produce loss of consciousness. He was trained in neuroscience and pharmacology at the University of Calgary and began his career at Stanford over thirty years ago and has directed the Stanford Neuropharmacology Laboratory since then. Current research is directed at the development of safer and more effective anesthetics using state-of-the-art electrophysiological approaches using in vitro brain slice preparations and freely moving animal models. He is also using newly developed EEG analysis techniques in animals and human subjects to quantify brain states associated with the loss and recovery of consciousness.

A personal conversation with Jon Ferrel, about his work and the benefits of Azomite Mineral Products on agriculture and animal feed. Jon E. Ferrel, M.S., M.B.A. is the Vice President of Research & Development and Technical Services for Azomite Mineral Products, LLC, Nephi, UT, 84648 as well Adjunct Associate Administrative Professional Staff, Animal Sciences, Purdue University. Jon graduated from Purdue University with a master’s degree in Agricultural Economics, as well as an MBA from Indiana University’s Kelly School of Business. Jon mentors and collaborates with graduate students and faculty at several universities, as a consortium of scientists, focusing on applied nutrition of food animal production and plant sciences. Within his current responsibilities, Jon links aspects of basic and applied research for Azomite amongst animals and plants to the specific mechanisms of action and derived outcomes that support discovery, application, and implementation initiatives. The focus of Jon’s work has included allergenic and innate immune system responses to nutritional components, gene expression, digestibility, and gut architecture.  Jon directly relates research findings to estimate the difference in optimal levels of return to management and operator labor under alternative employed technology assumptions through linear, non-linear, and stochastic risk-based statistical modeling.
