In the latest What Doctors Don’t Tell You (WDDTY) podcast, editors Lynne McTaggart and Bryan Hubbard review the routine procedure of steroid injections in arthritic joints.  The shots are supposed to reduce pain and improve mobility, but new research suggests they also speed up bone deterioration.

The Warburg effect was a discovery by biophysicist Otto Warburg that cancer cells act differently and consume sugar – instead of oxygen – to survive and develop.  This astonishing should have transformed oncology, but didn’t, with sceptics claiming it was unproven.  Now the final piece in the Warburg jigsaw has been discovered – and Bryan and Lynne discuss how this could transform the way we see and treat cancer.

Nobody seems to know what depression really is – but it’s certainly not a serotonin chemical imbalance, even though the theory launched the SSRI antidepressant market.  Instead, ‘talking cures’, such as CBT work just as well, as Bryan and Lynne uncover.

To wrap up proceedings, they review a new opioid scandal looming, the dangerous side effect of the only prescription drug for cystitis, and how the avocado is as effective as a statin drug.
