Welcome back to another Dissent topic with Dr. Calvin Ng.  But first, we’d like to introduce our newest sponsor to Informed Dissent. And that is the supplement company Smidge (small batch supplements). Code “IDM” saves you 10%! Dr. Barke has been using their products for some time now and likes that they are family-owned, not Pharma-owned, and all their supplements are made in small batches, which is why, by the way, from time to time, you will see that they are out of stock. There are three Smidge products that Dr. Barke personally takes every single day. The first–the best zinc product on the market–is oyster zinc. It’s great because it comes from an oyster, and it’s got all the cofactors necessary for absorption. He also takes their morning magnesium and their evening magnesium. Dr. McDonald takes the morning and the evening magnesium as well. In addition to that, he’s started to use some of their more exotic products, such as the Kakadu plum natural whole food vitamin C, which is much better than ascorbic acid because of is better absorbed in the body. They’re all excellent, and he’s recommended them to patients, and they love them.  If you go […]

Welcome back to another episode of Informed Dissent, where we go beyond the headlines to bring you the stories behind the scenes! In this exclusive preview, we’re offering you a sneak peek into the latest developments and thought-provoking discussions happening within our community.  We believe this statement to be true: “New levels new devils.”  Listen to Jeff as he sheds light on the challenges we face: “So as you’re trying to accomplish something, there’s more barriers that get in the way. And especially what we’re doing is not just some random informational podcast, we really are exposing and talking about holistic health and bringing forward a new way of thinking that most people aren’t used to. And a lot of the establishment and healthcare really don’t want to be heard because we’re breaking a lot of those molds.”  And hear Mark as he shares his insights about the hard truth of reality in 2024: “We didn’t have people getting heart attacks and strokes in their 20s and 30s who were who were fit, seemingly fit. That’s all happening now due to a combination of poor education, bad food, lack of good movement and exercise, high stress, as you pointed out, […]

Another great episode #147 coming to you with Josiah O’Neil and your hosts Dr. Mark McDonald and Dr. Jeff Barke!  Josiah O’Neil, the visionary behind Defining Truth, is a dedicated individual whose diverse background spans the military, law enforcement, and public service sectors. Rooted in these experiences is not only a profound love for his country but also an impassioned commitment to its defense. Josiah’s journey has instilled in him a calling to speak truth into the contemporary cultural landscape, with a specific mission to advance Christian-Judaic principles and biblical values across government, education, and media platforms.
