Conversations with Dr. Cowan & Friends

In this November 4th webinar, Tom reflects on the day after the election, offering a perspective that looks beyond which side won. He opens with Jude Roberts’ song “Election Day” before exploring the differences between limited government and a society based on voluntary cooperation.  
Highlights from this session include:
-Tom reads and comments on “The Fundamental Problem of the Minimal State,” an article he found on Mises.org. He examines the idea of a government whose sole purpose is to protect people’s property rights and contrasts it with the voluntaryist position of having no state.  
-A discussion of the article’s central argument: an institution with a monopoly on coercion is expected to limit coercion—including its own. Tom explores what he sees as a fundamental contradiction in asking the same institution to exercise power and restrain itself.  
-An examination of constitutions, separation of powers, and government oversight. Drawing on the article, Tom argues that better rules or more enlightened officials cannot resolve this underlying problem, and that creating a stronger institution to supervise another can lead to increasingly concentrated power.  
-An exploration of voluntary agreements, contracts, and external mechanisms for resolving disputes. Tom discusses the article’s proposal that cooperation and incentives to honor agreements offer an alternative framework, while acknowledging that dishonest or aggressive behavior would not simply disappear. 
-A comparison of market competition and state-backed monopolies, illustrated through a simple example of companies making bandages. Tom uses the example to explain his view that competition encourages better products and lower prices, whereas protected monopolies create different incentives. 
-A reminder that the alternative being discussed is not presented as a finished blueprint. Tom highlights the importance of continued questioning, experimentation, and correction, suggesting that different people and communities could develop different solutions rather than relying on one universal answer. 
Tom closes by encouraging viewers to reconsider their assumptions about government and focus on how they understand the world and act in their own lives. Rather than placing their hopes solely in election outcomes, he invites them to consider a different framework for organizing society.

In this October 28th webinar, Tom revisits a presentation he gave four to five years ago, reflecting on what he would now update, question, or explain differently. He shares a recent encounter with a listener who asked, “Is there anything different you would say now from 4 to 5 years ago?”—the same question he had already decided to explore.  
Highlights from this session include:
Tom revisits historical contagion experiments, examining how researchers interpreted their results and questioning whether those experiments demonstrated transmission from sick people to healthy people. He also shares his perspective on the possible role of expectations and emotional connections in experiences of illness.  
A return to the meaning of virus isolation, including a recorded virology lecture discussing the terms “isolate,” “variant,” and “strain.” Tom contrasts the procedures described in the lecture with his understanding of isolation and revisits cell-culture experiments involving changes in nutrients and antibiotics.      
The return of the “Pumpkin challenge,” in which viewers compare electron-microscope images described as SARS-CoV-2 with images from kidney biopsies and other tissue samples. Tom uses the comparison to question whether visual resemblance alone can establish what a particle is.  
A discussion of cell diagrams, tissue preparation, and microscopic artifacts, drawing on Harold Hillman’s arguments about geometry and how structures should appear in different sections. Tom applies these concerns to ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum, synapses, and the blood-brain barrier.    
Tom revisits his views on DNA, heredity, and mitochondrial function, while acknowledging that parts of his earlier writing no longer reflect his current thinking. He emphasizes his distinction between observing a structure and establishing what that structure does.  
An exploration of structured water, including examples from Veda Austin’s work and quotations about the liquid-crystalline nature of living tissues. Tom also draws parallels between his view of biological structures and architectural forms involving domes, antennas, columns, and water.  
A brief return to heart circulation and stenting, including Tom’s interpretation of a trial comparing stents with a sham procedure. He revisits his criticism of the blocked-artery explanation of heart attacks and discusses what he considers the role of the heart’s energetics.  
Tom closes with Jude Roberts’ rendition of “Hallelujah,” reflecting on resilience and the importance of holding on to one’s spirit during difficult times. He also shares that Jude and his fellow musicians are expected to return for the next New Biology Experience. Throughout the webinar, Tom emphasizes revisiting earlier conclusions, separating observations from interpretations, and remaining willing to change one’s understanding.

In this October 21st webinar, Tom opens by thanking the community for helping Mark and Dr. Sam Bailey reach their fundraising goal of $250,000. He expresses his appreciation for everyone who contributed and hopes this will allow the Baileys to move forward.
Highlights from this session include:
-Tom revisits Harold Hillman’s critique of cell-biology techniques, including subcellular fractionation, electron microscopy, and binding studies. He discusses Hillman’s concerns about tissue preparation, artifacts, and experimental controls, returning to the distinction between observations and the explanations offered for them.
-A discussion of jet propulsion, in which Tom uses AI-provided figures and images concerning Boeing 747 fuel capacity, fuel consumption, and flight distances to question the conventional explanation of how jets are powered. He also shares a social-media account proposing an alternative explanation, while acknowledging that he has not verified much of that account.
-Tom discusses his concerns about how vaccine and other medical studies report benefits and harms, the composition of control groups, and comparisons between vaccinated and unvaccinated groups. He uses illustrative examples to explain his criticisms of study design and reporting.
-A return to Strophanthus seed extract, prompted by a viewer questioning whether Tom’s criticisms of chemical identification also apply to his own statements about its active ingredient.
Questions discussed in this webinar include:
-“How to prepare for pregnancy?”
-“What about tests, markers in pregnancy, blood pressure, labs, group B infection, genetic testing, amniocentesis, ultrasound and all the rest of it?”
-“What about taking out adenoids versus a technique called mewing?”
-“Why do we sometimes get positive outcomes on vaccine studies?”
-“What are glucose, chlorine dioxide, carbohydrates, if not molecules?”
-“Does bone broth increase bone density and why aren't vegans all osteoporotic or osteopenic?”
-“If I'm going on about, no testosterone in testicles and no molecules and atomic theory hasn't been proven, doesn't that apply to Strophanthus and Ouabain?”
Throughout the webinar, Tom emphasizes examining how claims are investigated, distinguishing observations from interpretations, and acknowledging uncertainty—including in his own earlier explanations. He closes by returning to the question of what was done and what was observed, rather than relying on a proposed mechanism alone.

In this October 14th webinar, Tom is joined by Dr. Mark Bailey for an update on Dr. Sam Bailey’s legal case in New Zealand and the community effort to support her. They then return to Tom’s recent measles discussions, reviewing a commenter’s responses and the evidence presented in support of those claims.

Update on Dr. Sam Bailey’s case:
-Mark describes the proceedings surrounding Sam’s online publications, the financial and personal burden of the case, and her decision to continue publishing her work. He explains that the fundraising campaign is intended to pay outstanding fines and court costs to prevent bankruptcy proceedings scheduled for November 5, 2026.
-At the time of the recording, Mark reports that the campaign had raised $182,000 toward its $250,000 goal. Tom encourages viewers to contribute, while Mark also suggests contacting the Medical Council of New Zealand for those unable to offer financial support.

Highlights from this session include:
-Tom and Mark revisit how measles is diagnosed, discussing overlapping symptoms, Koplik spots, and their concerns about distinguishing measles from other illnesses through clinical observations alone.
-They examine historical blood-inoculation experiments, experiments involving monkeys, and contact-tracing data, questioning whether these establish the person-to-person transmission described by the commenter.
-A discussion of cell-culture experiments, cytopathic effects, and experimental controls, with both speakers questioning what those findings demonstrate about the material added to a culture.
-Tom and Mark contrast the use of “isolation” to describe growing a virus in cell culture with their requirement for directly separating and identifying particles from an original sample. Mark also discusses the distinction between obtaining a particle and demonstrating its claimed properties.
-They respond to the commenter’s claims about 1,400-fold measles-virus purification, Enders’ neutralization experiments, and RT-PCR detection, explaining why they dispute the conclusions drawn from these methods.

Throughout the webinar, Tom and Mark emphasize examining methods, distinguishing observations from interpretations, and using precise language. They close by encouraging viewers to review their published work and support Sam’s campaign.

In this October 7th webinar, Tom is joined by Dawn Lester to discuss her new book, A Fresh Look at Childhood Illness. Together, they explore childhood illness, measles, vaccines, terrain theory, pleomorphism, chronic disease, and the importance of moving away from fear-based thinking.

A link to Dawn Lester's book here.
A link to her SubStack here.

Highlights from this session include:
-Tom opens by asking why we need “a fresh look at childhood illness” when mainstream sources claim vaccines have prevented hundreds of millions of deaths and that children today are healthier than ever.
-Dawn explains that while certain statistics may suggest lower infant mortality, many children today are clearly struggling with chronic conditions, which calls for a deeper look at what health and illness really mean.
-Tom and Dawn discuss whether illnesses such as measles, chickenpox, mumps, diphtheria, and flu are truly distinct biological entities with specific microbial causes.
-Dawn emphasizes that these illnesses have not been proven to be distinct, specific entities and points out that many symptoms overlap across different childhood conditions.
-Tom discusses the problem with defining measles by symptoms such as cough, coryza, conjunctivitis, and Koplik spots, arguing that these do not reliably establish measles as a specific diagnosis.
-They explore how labels can obscure what is actually happening in the body, and Dawn encourages asking what the body is doing rather than relying on disease labels.
-Dawn explains the terrain perspective, where symptoms such as mucus, fever, rashes, vomiting, or diarrhea may be understood as the body’s clearing or detoxification processes rather than evidence of an invading pathogen.
-Tom and Dawn discuss pleomorphism and the idea that bacteria, yeast, fungi, and other forms may arise from fundamental life forms depending on the internal terrain.
-They contrast two views of microbes: one where microbes are fixed, distinct disease-causing species, and another where they shift form based on the body’s needs and conditions.
-Tom points out that if a microbe truly caused a disease, it should be isolated and shown to cause the same disease in a well person or animal, which he argues has not been demonstrated.
-Dawn discusses how chronic conditions may arise when acute clearing processes are repeatedly suppressed with medications, vaccines, or other interventions.
-Tom and Dawn connect this idea to asthma and other chronic childhood conditions, suggesting that the body may need to complete an interrupted clearing process.
-Dawn emphasizes emotional factors, childhood trauma, beliefs, fear, and the importance of asking what is happening in a child’s whole life—not just what symptoms are present.
-They close by discussing how the book is intended to lessen fear, support self-empowerment, and help parents feel confident making informed decisions.

Dawn shares that people can find her on Substack at DawnLester.substack.com, through Dawn’s Writings, and through her podcast, Dawn of Discernment. Her book is available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle.
Throughout the webinar, Tom and Dawn emphasize moving away from fear, questioning disease labels, looking at what the body is actually doing, and helping parents feel confident, informed, and empowered in their approach to childhood illness.
