Anders Bolling has shown us what journalism also could be: an honest effort to give a comprehensive picture of the world… Bolling has systematically and independently countered the mainstream news dramaturgy by complementing its daily alarms with facts about what is steadily improving.

Judges’ comments on the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences’ award for science minded journalism

Bolling is in a classical sense well-read, which endows him with a capacity to cover a wide range of topics. His ability to look for the relevant deviant voice or angle is particularly salient, which forces the reader or listener to see events from a different perspective than the prevailing one. This is certainly a laudable trait in today’s fast-spinning media landscape.

Karl Dalén, News Director, Dagens Nyheter

Anders Bolling is a skilled writer with a deep understanding of complex development issues, but even more notable is his ability to look beyond the immediate and tell stories of possibilities and highlighting human perspectives. As a moderator he is responsive and engaged.

Carolina Given-Sjölander, UNDP Communications Advisor for the Nordics

The Billion Boom:

This book will become a modern standard reference. I love the hopeful and realistic scenarios. The chapters on migration and its causes are indispensable.

Martin Schibbye, founder and publisher, Blank Spot Project

It is exciting and elegant to see the whole picture through the prism of demography. This book ought to inspire and to provoke debate.

Jan Eliasson, former deputy Secretary General of the United Nations

The Cozy Darkness of the Apocalypse:

Bolling offers a counter image to the common pessimism of the media. It is an approachable and efficient text which shimmers of contagious hope and enthusiasm.

Sundsvalls Tidning

This book is an honorable attempt of fouling one’s own nest. Its strength lies in the general media criticism.

Svenska Dagbladet

The odd thing is that so many people get so upset by the fact that the world is getting better. Many readers, conservatives and socialists alike, will squirm when they press ahead through Bolling’s relentless waves of good news. These waves shatter their predetermined worlds.

144. Cancer Should Be Starved Away – Thomas Seyfried
Professor Thomas Seyfried’s research at Boston College is revolutionizing our understanding of cancer and other chronic diseases.
“Cancer is not a genetic disease, it’s a metabolic problem. The reason everybody says it’s a genetic disease is confirmation bias. It’s been hammered into everybody’s brain”, Seyfried says.
Patients are brutalized by a medical establishment that doesn’t know the biology and biochemistry behind the disease, he contends.
“Metabolic therapy kills cancer cells and keeps your hair”, he says.
Seyfried’s method entails, in essence, starving the tumor through diet, fasting and exercise.
“We’re getting longer and longer survival for the so-called terminal cancers.” (Audio links in comments.)

Thomas Seyfried: Cancer Should Be Starved Away

“You see bald-headed people who have been treated for cancer. ‘You're trying to kill cancer cells, why the hell are you going bald?’”The provocative rhetoric...

Anders & Meredith on Journalism, Life, Health and the World Today
I was invited to the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast by my journalist/podcaster colleague and friend Meredith Oke. It was a relaxed, energizing and interesting conversation. I think you also get a modicum of insight into my journey, background and motivation for doing what I do today. Meredith and I plan to collab and do more talks on both our platforms.

143. In the Age of Disclosure – Daniel Sheehan
Daniel Sheehan is an acclaimed civil rights attorney. He is at the forefront of the movement advocating for UFO/UAP disclosure and transparency.
In the 1970s, he got to see the classified portions of a long-running UFO program called Project Blue Book.
“There they were, the photographs of a crash retrieval. There wasn’t any doubt about what they were. It was a classic UFO”, he says.
Danny wants to see a gradual and responsible disclosure. He founded the New Paradigm Institute to push for precisely that, on the political level and in society at large. And it’s getting closer.
“The cat is out of the bag now. It’s running around.”
(Audio links in comments.)
