HOST: George Noory
GUESTS: Dr. Michael Osterholm, Harold Roth
In the first half, prominent public health scientist and biosecurity expert, Dr.
Michael Osterholm, discussed the growing threat of 21st century infectious
diseases, and what can be done to protect ourselves. Globally, the risks from
infectious disease are higher than they've ever been in human history, he cited,
with the most significant issues being pandemic influenza, and antibiotic
resistance. Through mutation, bacteria has increasingly developed a resistance
to many antibiotics, and we could be entering an alarming post-antibiotic era.
One way to slow this down, he said, is to curb the overuse of antibiotics, which
accelerate the bacteria's resistance.
What often scares us can be different than what kills us, he commented, noting
that outbreaks that can be transmitted by a respiratory route are of the biggest
concern, as they can be quickly spread around the world via air flight. The
number one disease threat to the world is a serious influenza pandemic, in which
a flu virus emerges out of a wild bird, genetically mutates, and then infects
humans for the first time-- more than 250 million people died from such a
pandemic in 1918, and with today's population it could be many times that
number, he warned. New and better drugs, and flu vaccines, that last for a
number of years, could help stave off pandemics, he suggested, adding that he's
concluded there is no evidence that vaccines for childhood diseases cause
autism.

In the latter half, artist, writer and practicing witch, Harold Roth, spoke
about various types of witches, the history and dynamics of spells and curses,
and protection methods. He outlined the different types of plants and herbs that
people can grow themselves which can be used for spells, rituals, and
protection. These included:
1) Poppy-- associated with fertility and abundance
2) Yarrow-- stalks used for divination
3) Vervain-- a Druid herb that helps provoke interesting dreams
4) Mugwort-- also associated with dreams, and dream recall
5) Belladonna-- the quintessential "evil eye" herb
6) Mandrake-- root used to make a "mannequin" for protection and abundance.
One of the reasons magic works is because the world isn't necessarily a just
place, and witchcraft can be used to mitigate this, he noted. Roth detailed a
method for dealing with a threatening person: Take something that represents
them such as a photograph, and wind it up in a piece of paper, and write their
name on it and cross it out repeatedly. Then, tie the paper up in black yarn or
thread and put it in a box and bury it.
