Dissolving Illusions: Polio, Propaganda, and the Problem with Modern Medicine with Roman Bystrianyk, Part 2

In this episode, I’m back with Roman Bystrianyk, co-author of Dissolving Illusions, and y’all—we go deep. We break down the story behind polio, and spoiler alert: it’s not what we were taught. From DDT and lead arsenate to the shifting definitions of polio cases post-vaccine rollout, Roman shows how much of what we “know” has been shaped by fear, not facts. We talk about how public health declined when we started relying on meds instead of nutrition, and how the obsession with vaccination overshadowed basic immune system support like sunlight, vitamin C, and, I don’t know—eating real food?

We also hit on MMR, the autism connection, and the crazy idea that maybe, just maybe, you can take charge of your health without waiting on the government or your pediatrician to get it right. If you’re a parent trying to make sense of a very confusing system, this is one you need to hear.

And yes—I’m still fired up. Let’s go.
