On April 13, 2021, the FDA and CDC recommended a pause in the use of the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine after cases of a rare form of blood clotting were reported. In this episode, produced in partnership with the American Society of Hematology, we explore the topic of vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia with hematologists Dr. Jean Connors of Harvard Medical School and Dr. Lisa Baumann Kreuziger of the Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin.

Last week we looked at neurologic presentations of COVID-19; this week we’ll look more closely at strokes in young people with COVID. A letter published 2 days ago in the NEJM with lead author Thomas Oxley, the Neuro ICU director at Mt Sinai, presents five case studies of relatively young patients who had strokes at home and presented to Mt Sinai between 23 March and 7 April. In pre-COVID days, Mt Sinai saw on about 3 patients under the age of 50 with strokes per month, so 5 in 2 weeks represents a 7-fold increase. The authors call this one of the clearest and most profound correlations” they’ve come across. Though strokes in other COVID case reports are also occurring in older pts, other centers are reporting similar increases in young people with few or no risk factors presenting with major strokes. Right now there are at least 3 US centers preparing to publish data on the stroke in young people phenomenon.

There is more cancer going on today than there used to be: 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Any time I get the call or email about someone who has just been diagnosed with cancer, the first person I send them to is my guest on this episode, Dr. Nalini Chilkov. She is doing some of the most innovative, breakthrough work on cancer and how to never get there in the first place. She has helped thousands of people achieve and maintain extraordinary health and longevity and she is my go-to expert on all things related to cancer. In this interview you'll learn about why cancer is so prevalent today, how sugar is linked to cancer, how to turn cancer promoter genes off and cancer suppressor genes on, and a lot more.

Often, when people make the decision to take an active role in their own safety, they take steps that seem to have a great impact as opposed to steps that really make marked difference in the safety of the life they lead.

A perfect example is the rush that many people have to acquire a firearm, ammunition, accessories and training that they believe will keep them safe.  Now do not take this the wrong way folks!  For some people, that firearm WILL mean the difference between life and death.

But for many more, there are other skills and tools that will be the keys to saving lives.  Skills like, first aid and CPR.  Skills that deal with choking, or treating someone with traumatic injury.

Nope.  Not anywhere near as sexy as defending your family with a gun, But, it is statistically MUCH MORE LIKELY that you will provide someone with life saving care than protect them with your gun.

To that end, today we are going to talk to Caleb Causey of Lone Star Medics about the importance of emergency medical skills.  What skills are the most critical?  Who needs to have them?  What tools are critical to saving lives and where you can get those skills?

I am looking forward to sorting out some important ideas regarding defensive training today with Caleb Causey of Lone Star Medics.

When folks think about their personal security and self-defense they immediately move towards shooting, striking, you know the sexy stuff.  But the fact is that is only part of the equation.

People like Caleb Causey of Lone Star Medics are critical to personal protection as they help round out the package and help you develop all the skills you need to truly be safer that is why we are talking to Caleb today and that is why we will be hosting Caleb next month for Lone Star Medics Medicine X EDC.

• During today’s episode we talk about:
• Caleb’s Background
• His work with the Personal Defense Network
• Why Medical Skills are so important
• What medical tools are important for preserving life?
• We answer some of your medical related emails

And a whole lot more!

 On March 21st and 22nd we will be hosting Lone Star Medics here in Cleveland Ohio to teach Medicine X EDC.

This is a two day course that combines a touch of lecture, a strong dose of practical medical skills with life fire and FoF scenarios to help you gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to deal with injuries that you or someone you love could sustain in a violent attack or simply while going about your daily life.

Sign up for a medical course.

Then get a tactical medical course under your belt!

Holly sits down with Harvard-trained anesthesiologist Dr. Samuel Smith at his home in Santa Barbara, California. Together they discuss his connection to hematology and his experiences dealing with patients affected by hemophilia and other bleeding disorders. He details what a patient can do to prepare for surgery, how anesthesiologists prepare for a surgery of someone with a bleeding disorder, and which types of scenarios to avoid when dealing with a potential surgery if you have a bleeding disorder.
