Bacteriophages comes up in 2 chapters across 2 episodes of The Higherside Chats Free Show, from June 2016 to May 2020.
The Human Virome and Beneficial Bacteriophages
Brown reframes the role of viruses, noting that they outnumber human cells 1,000 to 1 and constitute a "virome" essential for health. He discusses bacteriophages as a highly selective, non-chemical alternative to antibiotics that can target specific pathogenic bacteria without harming the body's natural microflora.
Bacteriophages, Big Pharma and Cancer Treatment Palaces
Bacteriophages are presented as a cheap and effective method for curing cancer that has been suppressed by the pharmaceutical industry because they cannot be easily patented. Instead of using simple phages, the medical establishment focuses on expensive "cancer palaces" and "poisoning" patients with chemotherapy. The discussion suggests that while many cancers are treatable through alternative means, the industry prioritizes profit over patient recovery.
