Talk Forum Returns Next Week with A New Guest
Wednesday June 24, 4PM PT / 7PM ET
Medical Anthropologist Sydney Ross Singer on Culture-Caused Disease
Next week, Shawn Buckley welcomes medical anthropologist Sydney Ross Singer to the NHPPA Talk Forum. Singer holds graduate training in biochemistry from Duke University, a master’s degree in anthropology, and completed three years of an MD/PhD program at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. He left conventional medicine to pioneer applied medical anthropology, a field that investigates how our own culture makes us sick.
In this timely discussion, Singer explores “culturogenic” diseases; conditions driven by everyday cultural practices rather than genetics or chance. Topics include:
How tight clothing and bras impair lymphatic drainage, contributing to breast pain, cysts, toxin buildup, and higher breast cancer risk. Women who never wear bras show rates comparable to men.
The hidden costs of sleeping flat, which pressurizes the brain overnight and links to migraines, poor morning circulation, sleep apnea, and more. Simple head-off-bed elevation offers a low-cost solution.
The impact of shoes, tight socks, and other garments that restrict circulation and expose us to toxins.
Singer stresses the need to question habits that prioritize fashion, convenience, and profit over human physiology, and highlights simple, empowering changes anyone can make.

The Health Charter Van Needs a Home
Call for Help: Storage Needed for the Health Freedom Van
The iconic Health Freedom Van (the classic VW bus that carried Shawn and Teresa Buckley across Canada during last October’s Health Charter Tour) needs a safe and secure place to rest until the next tour begins.
We are looking for someone in the Edmonton and surrounding area with garage or indoor storage space who can keep her protected through the coming months.
If you (or someone you know) have room and can help safeguard this important symbol of our movement, please reach out to us right away at info@nhppa.org.
Every kilometre that van travelled helped deliver 157,057 of your petition signatures to Parliament and gave a voice to countless Canadians. Now we need your help to keep her ready for the road ahead.
Thank you for your help and opening up your garage!
