230. How They Convinced a Generation That Being Human Is a Disease
Today01:01:43Tap to summarizeIn 1976, Merck's CEO told Fortune magazine his dream was to make drugs for healthy people and sell them to everyone. Fifty years later, that dream is the air we breathe.In this solo episode, Dr. Roger McFillin traces how a generation was taught that being human is a disease. He walks through the 1994 inflection point, the Zoloft commercial that rewrote a culture, the academics and journals and sales reps who built the influence machine, and the school-to-pediatrician-to-customer-for-life pipeline that captured childhood itself.He reflects on the recent HHS mental health summit, what it gets right, and what the bureaucrats are still unwilling to say out loud. He names what was lost in the trade. The wisdom passed down through generations. The understanding that emotions are a guidance system, not a malfunction.The mental health industrial complex is not a healthcare system. It's a control system. The drugs are weapons. The diagnoses are chains.This is how you walk out of the cage.

1w ago01:32:27Tap to summarizeAndrew Feldmar has been guiding people through psychedelic journeys for over 50 years. He trained directly with R.D. Laing in London, worked with Stanislav Grof at Esalen, practiced at Hollywood Hospital when LSD was still legal medicine, and took part in the first MAPS Canada MDMA research for PTSD. A Hungarian-born psychotherapist who fled the 1956 revolution alone at 16, he has spent a lifetime refusing to pathologize normal human suffering. With the President signing an executive order to fast track psychedelics through the FDA, this conversation could not be more timely. Andrew explains why medicalizing these medicines is a grotesque category mistake, what gets lost when ceremony and relationship are replaced by sterile hospital protocols, and why the source only opens up between people. His new book, Radical Adventure: An Inquiry into Psychedelic Psychotherapy (Karnac Books, 2025), is a quiet act of resistance against the venture capital takeover of sacred work. If we're going to talk about psychedelics in 2026, we need to talk to someone who knew what they were before the industry came for them.
Transcribe →228. What Happens Years After Gender Transitioning?
2w ago01:32:10Tap to summarizeSome lies leave scars you can see. Jennifer Miller, a licensed professional counselor with fifteen years of clinical experience, now sits with the detransitioners. The young women coming out the other side of a cultural lie, carrying its permanent mark on their bodies and asking the questions no one prepared them for. What pulled them in? What woke them up? What does the wreckage actually look like once the affirmation stops? And how did an entire culture, an entire profession, march millions of children down this road while calling it care? Jennifer has been watching this story unfold for fifty years, first inside her own family, now inside her therapy office. She left the mental health system in 2020 and has been telling the truth ever since. This episode is about more than gender. It is about how minds get captured, how good people participate in harm, and what human vulnerability looks like when the institutions sworn to protect us become the ones doing the cutting. Listen now.

3w ago01:01:02Tap to summarizeA re-released episode with points that still stand. As America responded with a mandate for Donald Trump, Dr. McFillin issues a powerful call to action: Making America Healthy Again demands more than policy change—it requires reclaiming our fundamental emotional sovereignty. In this compelling episode, he exposes how the modern mental health system has conditioned us to fear natural emotional responses, creating cycles of dependency and spiritual disconnection.Dr. McFillin argues that depression and anxiety aren't disorders but transformative spiritual forces that have been pathologized through decades of pharmaceutical marketing. Drawing from ancient wisdom, he reveals how suppressing these emotional states serves a broader system of control, disconnecting people from their inner guidance and spiritual power. The COVID crisis, he suggests, demonstrated how medical authorities can shape public behavior through fear.The path forward requires revolutionizing our approach to emotional wellness. Instead of medicating away our pain, we must recognize these experiences as catalysts for personal and societal transformation. Dr. McFillin outlines how emotional resilience—not emotional suppression—builds the strong, discerning citizens needed to preserve American values and freedoms. This episode provides a roadmap for breaking free from the "mental health matrix" and restoring our natural capacity for growth through emotional awareness.TakeawaysFreedom and individual liberty are fundamental principles.The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated mental health issues.Mental, physical, and spiritual health are interconnected.Emotional discomfort is a catalyst for growth.Fear of emotions can lead to chronic conditions.Cultural narratives around mental health need to change.Sadness should be viewed as an energetic experience.Depression is not a disease but a superpower.Facing fears is essential for overcoming anxiety.The mental health crisis reflects a crisis of meaning.

4w ago01:31:48Tap to summarizeIn 1976, scientists discovered something so significant they gave it a name that said everything. That name was scrubbed from the literature eight years later. Dr. William Supple is a neuroscientist. He didn't set out to become one of the most controversial voices in cancer research. He was trying to save someone he loved. What he found in the process — buried in peer-reviewed journals, hidden in WHO population data, and documented across hundreds of real human cases — will permanently change the way you think about cancer, what it is, who profits from it, and what has been available all along. Cancer Is a Parasite by Dr. William Supple is available on Amazon. Dr. Supple's research is at fenbendazole.substack.com.

Apr 901:51:16Tap to summarizeDr. Mauro Zappaterra trained at Harvard Medical School, holds both an MD and a PhD, and spent years in one of the most elite research labs in the world.Then he felt something move through his spine that changed everything. This episode starts with neuroscience and ends somewhere most people aren’t used to going. Right now there is a fluid bathing your brain. It pulses with every heartbeat. It clears toxins from your brain while you sleep. It guided the development of every neuron you were born with. Scientists are only beginning to understand what it does. Every major ancient tradition on earth built spiritual practices around activating this exact system. They called it the Crystal Palace. The third eye. The cave of Brahma. They mapped it thousands of years before we had MRI machines to confirm it. Dr. Zappaterra believes this system is the gateway to higher consciousness. We have the ability to activate this... all of us.

Apr 201:53:04Tap to summarizeWhat happens when cutting-edge science and ancient faith point to the same truth?In this deeply personal and spiritually charged conversation, Dr. Roger McFillin welcomes back Dr. Ben Rall — chiropractor, author, and devoted follower of Christ — for what may be their most meaningful conversation yet. Released on Holy Thursday, this episode sits at the intersection of peer-reviewed research and transcendent faith, asking questions that our modern medical system was never designed to answer. What is actually happening inside the healing encounter? How much does the practitioner matter? And what does science now tell us about the power of belief, prayer, and human connection on biological outcomes?
Transcribe →224. Mass Murder for Organs: How China Built a Kill-to-Order Industry — with Jan Jekielek
Mar 2601:18:17Tap to summarizeJan Jekielek is one of the most important journalists working today. As senior editor at Epoch Times and host of American Thought Leaders, he has interviewed nearly a thousand heads of state, scientists, dissidents, and survivors — and for two decades he has been doing what almost no one in Western media would: documenting China's state-sanctioned, industrialized harvesting of organs from living prisoners of conscience.His new book, Killed to Order, makes the case that this is the largest ongoing crime against humanity on the planet — and that most of us have been counting on not to notice. In this conversation, Jan traces how a peaceful spiritual movement became the target of an extermination campaign, how prisoners of conscience became a living organ database, and why the global elite's obsession with longevity may be more connected to this atrocity than anyone wants to admit. This is a conversation that demands something of you. Jan has spent twenty years carrying a truth the world wasn't ready to receive. It's time to receive it.
Transcribe →223. The CIA's Connection to Modern Psychiatry
Mar 1900:47:56Tap to summarizeA document written in 1952. Declassified in 1983. Quietly re-cataloged in 2025 — without a single headline. Dr. Roger McFillin follows that document to where he believes it leads. The destination is not Cold War history. It's your medicine cabinet.Before there were SSRIs, there were research programs. Before the DSM, there were experiments. Dr. McFillin connects dots the mainstream has never connected — using only public records, peer-reviewed data, and 20 years of sitting across from people the system was supposed to help. The trail is longer than you think. And it ends somewhere you won't expect.
Transcribe →222. Your Thoughts Are Not Your Own: An Introduction to Mind Control
