Dr. Mary J. Ruwart is a scientist, ethicist, libertarian author/activist and a close girl friend of Dr. Berkson’s. Thus, this show is informative but also down-home; a chat between friends.

Dr. Ruwart has a Ph.D. in Biophysics and was a research scientist at The Upjohn Company involved in developing new therapies for diverse diseases, such as liver cirrhosis and AIDS.

Presently, in Texas, Dr. Ruwart oversees IRB’s which allow peer-research to unfold in proper regulatory pathways.

Dr. Ruwart writes an Internet column, Ask Dr. Ruwart, featured in the Advocates for Self-Government “Liberator OnLine” e-zine.

In this show you’ll learn:

• How the lack of testing kits helped the spread of COVID.
• Why the CDC’s original testing kits didn’t work.
• The FDA’s role.
• The official “change” of the FDA in 1962 and how this effects each one of us.
• How each of us, the average person, can have some input.
• What the average person can do to help solve some of these problems.

Dr. Ruwart wrote a must-have book on how the FDA got to be what it is today, called  Death By Regulation: How We Were Robbed of a Golden Age of Health and How We Can Reclaim It.
