Three decades ago, George Ebys daughter, Karen, proved to be the unknowing test subject of a remarkable discovery - the cure for the Common Cold. Only 3 years old, Karen had a horrible cold, with a swollen throat which made swallowing difficult. At the time, Karen was taking zinc for treatment for Leukemia (another miraculous story in itself) and being unable to swallow the pill, her father told her she should just let it dissolve in her mouth, which she did. Several hours later, after a nap, young Karen felt so well that she was outside playing.
Thus began George Ebys quest and decades of research along with professional scientists and doctors into the Zinc cure for the common cold.
The People Speak
The People Speak has evolved over the years with many great guests who have been interviewed by some very fine hosts.
We are a 55 minute show airing every other Sunday between 5-6pm Pacific/8-9pm Eastern. The show features a guest interview from any number of realms of interest (entertainment, science, philosophy, healing, spirituality, activism, politics, literature, etc.).
The guests share their stories, lives, strategies, books, philosophy, films, music, or whatever it is they use as a vehicle for making a difference for the better.
The radio show name, The People Speak, is based on the idea of allowing our audience - the People - a chance to interact with the guests during the hour, and we take phone or text questions from them during the interview.
Past guests include such notables as Nobel Peace Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the late Howard Zinn, Nobel Laureates Mairead Maguire, Shirin Ebadi, Kathryn Najimy, Oliver Stone, Jesse Ventura, Richard Belzer, Cynthia McKinney, Cindy Sheehan, Scott Horton, Joan Jett, Willie Nelson, George Galloway, Roseanne Barr, Ed Asner, Chevy Chase, as well as various reps from Amnesty International, UN World Food Programme, and many others.
