A cell tower might just pop up in your neighborhood without hearings or any kind of opportunity for local pushback or comment. This is the likely result of new proposed FCC rules that preempt all state and local authority over the siting, permitting and regulation of cell towers and antennas.  To be clear: No objections will be possible regarding the location, size, height, number of antennas, no need to prove there is a need for the antennas, no environmental reviews, no respect for aesthetic impacts, or historic districts, or scenic byways, etc. Towers and antennas will just appear outside one's home, or one's children's schools, without notice, and there will be nothing one can do about it. The proposed rules even say local governments will not be allowed to hire outside experts to measure emissions from the antennas. All this is in the context of the industry's stated plans for greater and greater 'antenna densification' with long-documented harmful radiation emitted by antennas placed every few hundred f

The study we've been waiting for is finally here! The head of infectious disease, Dr. Marcus Servos, at Henry Ford Health conducted a retrospective study of vaccinated children v. unvaccinated children to document their health outcomes. He promised that he would publish the results but then decided not to. Why not? The answer may have to do with the "inconvenient" results of the study. They did not confirm the expectations of the pro-vaccine Dr. Zervos. But Del Bigtree, the CEO of ICAN (Informed Consent Action Network)and host of The HighWire, decided to get the results out to the world through the film "An Inconvenient Study". As Executive Producer, Del focused on the very results that Dr. Zervos did not want revealed. There were statistically significant better health outcomes for the unvaccinated children over the vaccinated. In this conversation, Del tells us what led up to the study being conducted and why he decided to secretly record conversations with the doctor who did not want to publish it. The imp

"Safe and effective." This is the mantra of those in favor of vaccinations, who claim that they save lives. But, there is mounting evidence that they are neither safe nor effective. Most of us simply haven't been privy to the facts. That is about to change. Magdalene Taylor is the Director and Editor of The Informed Parent (TiP), a journal to encourage an informed vaccination decision based on a wide range of information. Magda was once a believer in vaccines until she came across some literature that gave her pause. Now she equips parents with information on the hazards associated with so-called immunizations. This episode focuses on many relevant topics including how few doctors speak out about vaccination risks, how little they actually know about vaccines, and how the entire medical industry is captured by the pharmaceutical industry. Magda also shares books, reference materials, and more to empower parents, along with suggestions for how to manage well-meaning relatives and friends (and medical professio

Sometimes homesteading is idealized and you get stars in your eyes, thinking it'll be so perfect... until it's not. Aimee and John Willis of Vintage Meadows tell the story of how a health crisis made them pivot from their original life goals into homesteading. They bought 4 acres and gave it a go. Then they had to sell it all and start all over, and over, and over again. You might call it a failure, a pivot, or simply relatable – but whatever it is, it shows the resilience of two people who want to nurture themselves and their community well and who haven't thrown in the towel just yet.   Visit Aimee and John Willis' website: vintagemeadows.farm Follow the Wise Traditions on the podcast app of your choice or on Apple Podcasts Check out our sponsors: Optimal Carnivore and Sirius Nutrition

In April 2025, the Idaho Medical Freedom Act was passed. Leslie Manookian of the Health Freedom Defense Fund crafted the legislation and lobbied for it to become law, in order to protect residents of Idaho from being fired, excluded, or discriminated against for not taking or using a medical intervention. What if you could pass similar legislation where you live? Would you like insights on how to preserve medical freedom for you and your community?   Leslie today gives us the back story on what motivated her in the first place to help her fellow Idahoans. And she describes the hurdles she faced as she pushed to get the act passed. She also discusses how Big Tech has been implicated in the suppression of our freedom, starting way before 2020, and why it’s so important to work in our local communities to push back against the encroachment of our freedoms from tech and pharmaceutical companies and the government.   Visit Leslie's website: healthfreedomdefense.org Become a member of the Weston A.

Price Foundation, explains where we've gone wrong and what we can do to rectify it.   Visit Sally's website: Nourishing Traditions Follow the Wise Traditions podcast on your favorite podcast platform!

Naysayers suggest that organic, regenerative farming is impractical, expensive, and less productive than conventional farming methods.

He tells numerous stories today from his own experience and from the farmers he's mentored over the years.
