About this listen

 The medical establishment's most profound silences exposed. This episode reveals the unregulated body broker industry worth billions, where donated bodies are sold in pieces without family knowledge—including Alistair Cooke's cancer-ridden bones used in dental procedures. Discover why fecal transplants with 90% cure rates were delayed for years because they're "disgusting," how the Sackler family's opioid conspiracy killed 450,000 Americans, and why women were systematically excluded from drug trials until 1993, resulting in dangerous dosing. From Morgellons disease dismissed as delusion to cosmetic surgery complications influencers won't show, from menstrual pain ignored for decades to end-of-life choices criminalized, this episode examines how medical squeamishness, paternalism, and profit motives create taboos that cause real suffering and preventable deaths.
