In this Friday night edition of ABC Health on the Global Voice Radio Network (recorded February 20, 2026), I unpack a turbulent week of headlines and the mounting distrust many feel toward powerful institutions—from agrochemical giants and public health bureaucracies to governments and media. I reflect on claims circulating since 2022 about excess deaths, odd clot findings, quarantine camps, and the specter of 5G misuse, while urging listeners to stay grounded, choose consciously, and take ownership of the few things we truly control: our words and what we put into our bodies. I also share practical (if unconventional) wellness views on detoxification, bentonite clay, magnesium‑ozone support, and daily habits for cultivating peace, presence, and resilience. During open lines we discuss glaucoma eye drops and side effects, foot care and reflexology-style approaches, and why simple routines—hydration, mineralization, and mindful nutrition—can help many issues at their root. I close by previewing a coming segment on Dr. Johanna Budwig’s cottage cheese and flaxseed approach, and by inviting listeners to continue asking hard questions, protect their health, and cultivate inner calm amid the noise.'Bayer (company)': https://www.bayer.com/'U.S. Environmental Protection Agency — Glyphosate': https://www.epa.gov/ingredients-used-pesticide-products/glyphosate'Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — Influenza (Flu)': https://www.cdc.gov/flu/'World Health Organization — Marburg virus disease (MVD)': https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/marburg-virus-disease'Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)': https://www.fema.gov/'American Medical Association (AMA)': https://www.ama-assn.org/'Animal and Plant Health Agency (UK) — APHA (Weybridge)': https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/animal-and-plant-health-agency'The Black Watch Museum & Castle (Royal Regiment of Scotland)': https://theblackwatch.co.uk/'Governor Kathy Hochul — State of New York': https://www.ny.gov/office-governor'Soylent Green (1973 film) — Wikipedia overview': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_Green'Prem Rawat — Official site': https://www.premrawat.com/'Nikola Tesla Museum (Belgrade)': https://tesla-museum.org/'InfoWars — Main site (referenced via Greg Reese videos)': https://www.infowars.com/
