Welcome to Deconstructing Conventional, a show fascinated by one simple question: How did we get here? How did what we call “conventional” come to earn that title? Is there a better way, and if so, what would it look like? This show is about deconstructing two things: Our individual biases, and the systems that run (or attempt to run) our everyday lives. We do this deconstruction with an eye for w... more

  • ‘Wellness’ quackery

    When someone claims a simple miracle cure works for a bunch of unrelated illnesses, you know what you’re being scammed. If it was so good, you’d think the millions of scientists who dedicate their lives to public health would have discovered and confirmed it already.

    The wellness industry rakes in billions of dollars more than big Pharma because they don’t have to spend billions of dollars on research and safety testing. They just have to come up with something cheap that they mark up massively... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lori Simpson: The Sinister Side of the Hospital System - Awareness, Advocacy and How to Not Be a Victim
Q: What happened during Lori's husband's hospital stay that stands out as a warning for listeners?
Lori's husband was effectively imprisoned in the hospital for months, subjected to aggressive sedation, restricted visitation, questionable medication choices, and record-keeping that obscured what actually occurred, raising concerns about patient rights and medical ethics.
Mark Bailey & Autumn McLees: Virology - A Narrative, Not a Science. Questioning Medicine's Most Sacred Cow
Q: How did Autuḿn come to question the hepatitis C diagnosis and what did she find?
Autumn recounts being diagnosed with hepatitis C, facing a potentially dangerous drug treatment, researching labs and papers, reading Virus Mania, and ultimately embracing a no-virus framework while pursuing holistic healing.
Mark Bailey & Autumn McLees: Virology - A Narrative, Not a Science. Questioning Medicine's Most Sacred Cow
Q: Tell us your story and what sparked your shift away from conventional virology ideas?
Mark Bailey describes enduring discomfort with standard medical practice, leaving clinical work, exploring the origins of virology, and recognizing systemic pressures that favor petri-dish results over patient-centered care.
G. Edward Griffin: Cancer's Purpose. What If The Cure Was Never Missing?
Q: Why does Griffin distrust conventional cancer therapies like surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy?
He contends these therapies often misinterpret cancer as caused by external bugs or genetics and can damage healthy tissue, potentially worsening outcomes; he emphasizes that the body's healing signals and enzymatic processes should be supported rather than suppressed.
G. Edward Griffin: Cancer's Purpose. What If The Cure Was Never Missing?
Q: What is cancer, and how does Griffin redefine it for lay listeners?
Griffin explains cancer as the over-healing process driven by trophoblast-like cells and argues it is the body's attempt to repair damage; the presence and absence of certain nutrients and enzymes regulate whether healing continues appropriately or becomes malignant.
