Season 3, Episode 18: Dave (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In my 16 years of hosting a two-hour, call-in radio talk show, I’ve learned that as much as I enjoy my conversations with guests who share their unique medical backgrounds, information, and insights with the audience, I enjoy my conversations with the callers even more. Sometimes the conversations with a caller that meander without specific destination or purpose are the most compelling. One such conversation is the topic of today’s podcast.
Season 3, Episode 17: Mother’s Day (opens the original)

Season 3, Episode 15: Snake Oil (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the 19th century, Chinese railroad laborers brought a host of traditional medicines to our shores, among which was the oil of the Chinese water snake to treat inflammation and arthritis. An American, Clark Stanley, commercialized the concept of boiling rattlesnakes and skimming the fat off the top. It proved to be a lucrative business, likely because it worked. The fatty oil was rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which we now know have a powerful anti-inflammatory effect. By the late 1800s, the new
