“There is a black hole in medicine.”

In this episode of the React19 podcast, Dana Parish — author of Chronic: The Hidden Cause of the Autoimmune Pandemic and How to Be Healthy Again, podcaster, health advocate, and former singer-songwriter — shares her battle with chronic Lyme disease and draws striking parallels to the challenges faced by the COVID-19 vaccine-injured and long COVID communities.

Dana recounts her personal journey through misdiagnosis, systemic medical neglect, and her eventual recovery through integrative treatment. The conversation underscores the urgent need for better diagnostics, greater transparency, and truly patient-centered care, while exposing institutional failures and the suppression of patient experiences.

Dana urges listeners to advocate for themselves and calls for meaningful reform in how chronic, multi-system illnesses are understood and treated.

Angela’s 16-year-old daughter, Alyssa, was a remarkably bright young woman with a deep love of learning and a vision for her future.

Although initially hesitant to have her daughter vaccinated, Angela felt the mounting pressure of mandates and her physician’s recommendation so ultimately moved forward.

Within hours of her second Pfizer vaccine, Alyssa became ill. Days later, she suffered cardiac arrest, and her family was ultimately faced with the heartbreaking decision to take her off life support.

After Alyssa’s passing, Angela connected with Dr. Deborah Newitz, whose concerns regarding vaccine safety, medical freedom, and institutional reform closely aligned with her own.

This conversation is grounded in a shared call for accountability, transparency, and meaningful change.

“I actually thought the FDA would care how a guy went from not sleeping to hanging in five weeks, but they said it was just an anecdotal story.”

In this episode of the React 19 podcast, Ann interviews drug safety advocate Kim Witczak. Kim is a Consumer Representative on the FDA’s Psychopharmacologic Drug Advisory Committee.

Kim shares her personal story of loss after her husband’s suicide following a Zoloft prescription, which led her to campaign for antidepressant safety reforms, including getting black box warnings on anti-depressants.

She draws parallels between her advocacy and current challenges faced by those injured by COVID-19 vaccines, highlighting systemic issues within the FDA, lack of transparency, and the need for informed consent.

Kim’s ultimate message is one of hope and empowerment. Her maxim is: “Within us all is the power to create change.”
