Ep. 162 - Dr. Bryan Ardis - Nicotine as Medicine, COVID, & Big Pharma
About this episode
Hey everybody! Episode 162 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Dr. Bryan Ardis. Dr. Ardis was recommended to me by a few friends due to his research on the benefits of nicotine. As I work with tobacco as medicine I found his research and ideas to be a great match. I also really respected Dr. Ardis’ stance during COVID, speaking up against tyranny and the lack of science disguised as science. This is a really fascinating conversation about nicotine as medicine which has been much maligned. Nicotine and tobacco are in fact wondrous medicines if used properly and we spoke about a lot of the propaganda behind tobacco, the monopoly of Big Pharma, the COVID pandemic, and his view of the future. This conversation will surely be an eye-opener for many and for others a reminder of a deeper calling.
