RFK Jr. Opens Up About Heroin Addiction and Calls for Focus on Prevention

RFK addicted to heroin

During a recent conference on drug addiction, the US Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. shared a personal story about his own battle with drug addiction and his journey to recovery. He also emphasized on the importance of helping young people find meaning in life. His speech at the Rx and Illicit Drug Summit in Nashville, Tennessee, emphasized the need for prevention, community, and spiritual support in addressing substance abuse. <br /><br />RFK Jr.'s Struggle With Addiction<br /><br />Kennedy revealed that he was addicted to heroin for 14 years. It started during his teenage years. During that time, he constantly promised to quit to himself and his family, but he felt powerless to follow through. <br /><br />“I didn’t want to be someone who woke up every morning thinking about drugs,” he said, describing the feeling of being unable to “keep contracts” with himself. He shared that he felt like he was born with a hole inside him—something many addicts feel—that he tried to fill with drugs.<br /><br />He also called addiction "a source of misery, but also a symptom of misery". He stressed that threats of overdose or ruined lives often have little impact on those who are already suffering. “Every addict feels that way in one way or another... and the only thing that works are drugs,” he said.<br /><br />His message to the 3,000 attendees focused on how deeper issues like hopelessness and disconnection from community contribute to addiction.<br /><br />Finding A Way Out Through Faith<br /><br />RFK Jr. went on to describe his recovery journey that started after he read a book by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, who suggested that people who believe in God tend to recover more effectively. This inspired him and rekindled his faith in God. He began to attend the 12-step meetings. God was mentioned in his speech over 20 times, and it was noted that spirituality played a big role in his healing. <br /><br />RFK Jr. also acknowledged criticism from public health experts and was interrupted several times by hecklers. Without directly engaging them, he said he tries to learn from everyone—“even the people who give me the finger.”<br /><br />Prevention Through Purpose<br /><br />While RFK Jr. did praise tools like Suboxone, methadone, and access to rehab, his main focus remained on prevention. “We have this whole generation of kids who’ve lost hope in their future,” he said. According to him, restoring connections to family, community, and purpose is crucial.<br /><br />He encouraged policy changes that would promote stronger family bonds—such as phone-free meals—and more opportunities for young people to engage in service. “The best way to overcome hopelessness,” he said, “is to wake up each day and pray, ‘Please make me useful to another human being today.’”<br /><br />While Kennedy’s speech resonated with many, others pushed back on his approach. Researcher Caleb Banta-Green, who was removed after shouting, later said that while spirituality can be helpful, science-based interventions must be prioritized and properly funded.<br /><br />While Kennedy’s speech resonated with many, others pushed back on his approach.

world malaria day 2025

Every year on 25 April, World Malaria Day is observed to raise awareness about one of the deadliest yet preventable diseases. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), there were 263 million malaria cases and 5,97,000 malaria deaths across 83 countries in 2023. The WHO African Region carries a disproportionately high share of the global malaria burden. As per the numbers, this Region was home to 94% of the malaria cases, accounting for 246 million and 95% of malaria deaths. Children under 5 accounted for about 75% of all malaria deaths in the Region.<br /><br />Ahead of World Malaria Day, WHO also called for renewed efforts at all levels - from global policy to community action to accelerate progress towards eliminating malaria.<br /><br /><h4>World Malaria Day 2025 Theme<br /></h4><br />This year, WHO has joined the RBM Partnership to End Malaria and other partners in promoting: "Malaria Ends With US: Reinvest, Reimagine, Reignite". This is a grassroot campaign that aims to re-energize efforts at all levels, from global policy to community action, to accelerate progress towards malaria elimination.<br /><br /><h4>World Malaria Day History<br /></h4><br />World Malaria Day was first celebrated internationally in 2008, building upon the earlier "Africa Malaria Day", which had been observed b African countries since 2001. The date, April 25, was established by WHO in 2007 during the World Health Assembly. In 2007, it was the 60th session of the World Health Assembly where the proposal to rename Africa Malaria Day to World Malaria Day was made to acknowledge the global presence of malaria.<br /><br /><h4>World Malaria Day Significance<br /></h4><br />The day has a strong significance in healthcare as it brings attention to the disease that still continues to take so many lives, especially in low-income and tropical regions. It also serves as an important reminder to continue spreading awareness about the disease as well as promoting its prevention, treatment and continuous international cooperation to fight against it.<br /><br /><h4>What Is Malaria?<br /></h4><br />The WHO describes malaria as a life-threatening disease spread to humans by some types of mosquitoes, mostly found in tropical countries. However, they are preventable and curable.<br /><br />WHO notes: "Malaria is spread to people through the bites of some infected anopheles mosquitoes. Blood transfusion and contaminated needles may also transmit malaria. The first symptoms may be mild, similar to many febrile illnesses, and difficult to recognize as malaria. Left untreated, P. falciparum malaria can progress to severe illness and death within 24 hours.<br /><br />There are 5 Plasmodium parasite species that cause malaria in humans, and 2 of these species – P. falciparum and P. vivax – pose the greatest threat. P. falciparum is the deadliest malaria parasite and the most prevalent on the African continent. P. vivax is the dominant malaria parasite in most countries outside of sub-Saharan Africa. The other malaria species which can infect humans are P. malariae, P. ovale and P. knowlesi."<br /><br /><h4>What Are The Symptoms?<br /></h4><br />The early symptoms are fever, headache and chills, which can usually start within 10 to 15 days of getting bitten by an infected mosquito.<br /><br />Some types of malaria can cause severe illness and death. Infants, children under 5 years, pregnant women, travellers and people with HIV or AIDS are at higher risk. Severe symptoms include:<br /><br /><ul><li>extreme tiredness and fatigue</li><li>impaired consciousness</li><li>multiple convulsions</li><li>difficulty breathing</li><li>dark or bloody urine</li><li>jaundice (yellowing of the eyes and skin)</li><li>abnormal bleeding</li></ul><br /><meta content="cms.next" name="cmsei" />

Blood Test That Can Detect 12 Types Of Cancer To Go On Trial In UK

A new AI-powered blood test that can detect 12 types of cancer is to be tested on NHS patients. Using this test, experts would now be able to detect cancerous cells in people much before the symptoms appear. The trial, conducted on 8,000 patients, will analyse blood samples for tiny fragments of genetic material released by tumours. <br /><br />The test called miONCO-Dx, was created using data from 20,000 patients. Initial tests have produced promising results, having shown that it can detect 12 of the most lethal and common cancers, including bowel cancer, at an early stage, with over 99% accuracy. With no other trial currently working in the same way, this is a world-leader and will support in placing Britain at the forefront of revolutionising healthcare. Notably, the UK government has awarded £2.4m to run the trial of the genetic test, which was developed by the University of Southampton and the biotech startup Xgenera. <br /><br /><h2>How Does It Work?<br /></h2>The test was created by Xgenera, in collaboration with the University of Southampton. As little as 10 drops of blood are all that's needed to detect up to 12 common cancers. The test works by measuring the microRNA in a blood sample and using AI to identify if cancer is present and, if so, where it is located in the body.  <br /><br /><h2>What Cancers Will It Detect?<br /></h2>Lung, gastric, prostate, oesophageal, liver, bladder, ovarian, bowel, pancreatic and breast cancers–as well as bone and soft tissue sarcoma and a type of brain tumour. The Department of Health said the test was now ready for the "validation and verification" stage.<br /><br />Professor Sir Stephen Powis, NHS England's national medical director, said: "This blood test has the potential to help us detect bowel cancer earlier and reduce the need for invasive tests, and the next step in this trial will now be vital in gathering further evidence on its effectiveness and how it could work in practice."<br /><br /><h2>How Is A Blood Test Conducted?<br /></h2>A blood test is a simple medical procedure used to check various health conditions. Here's how it is typically conducted:<br /><br />1. Preparation: Depending on the test, you may be asked to fast for 8–12 hours. The healthcare provider will explain any specific instructions.<br /><br />2. Collection: You’ll usually be seated or lying down. A healthcare professional will tie a tourniquet around your upper arm to make the veins more visible. The inside of your elbow is the most common site for drawing blood.<br /><br />3. Cleaning: The area is cleaned with an antiseptic to reduce the risk of infection.<br /><br />4. Drawing Blood: A sterile needle is inserted into the vein, and blood is collected into one or more vials or tubes.<br /><br />5. Post-collection: Once enough blood is collected, the needle is removed, and a cotton ball or bandage is applied to stop any bleeding.<br /><br />6. Processing: The blood samples are then sent to a lab for analysis.<br /><meta content="cms.next" name="cmsei" />

While the diagnosis may initially seem overwhelming, it’s important to remember that diabetes can be managed—and that life, dreams, and success are still very much within reach.<br /><br /><h4>Recognizing the Early Symptoms<br /></h4><br />Early diagnosis is crucial in managing type 1 diabetes. The sooner it is detected, the sooner a child or teen can begin treatment and avoid potential complications. Common symptoms in children and adolescents include:<br /><br /><ul><li>Frequent urination</li><li>Excessive thirst and hunger</li><li>Sudden or unexplained weight loss</li><li>Blurred vision</li><li>Severe fatigue or tiredness</li><li>Mood swings or irritability</li></ul><br />In some cases, children may also experience nausea or vomiting. Parents and caregivers should consult a doctor immediately if any of these signs appear consistently. With a timely diagnosis and treatment, children can adjust to their condition and live full, healthy lives.<br /><br /><h4>Managing Life After Diagnosis<br /></h4><br />Being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes means adapting to a new lifestyle—but it doesn’t mean giving up on your goals. As Nick Jonas shows, success and diabetes can go hand in hand. Here’s how young diabetics can take care of their health:<br /><br /><strong>Regular Monitoring:</strong> Checking blood sugar levels every day is important to prevent highs and lows that can be harmful.<br /><br /><strong>Balanced Diet:</strong> Eating nutritious meals with whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables while keeping an eye on carbohydrate intake can help regulate blood sugar levels.<br /><br /><strong>Exercise Routine: </strong>Regular physical activity helps improve insulin sensitivity and maintain a healthy weight. It's best to stick to a consistent workout routine.<br /><br /><strong>Insulin Management:</strong> Taking insulin as prescribed and learning how to adjust doses based on meals, exercise, or illness is key to managing the condition.<br /><br /><strong>Support and Education:</strong> Understanding diabetes and having a support system—whether it’s family, friends, or an online community—can make the journey easier and more empowering.<br /><br /><h4>A Life of Possibility<br /></h4><br />Nick Jonas’s journey is a reminder that diabetes doesn’t mean the end of dreams—it simply means learning to live differently. With self-discipline, awareness, and care, young people can still thrive in school, sports, art, and beyond. Nick’s words serve as both reassurance and motivation: “Diabetes can’t hold me back.”<br /><br />And for young diabetics everywhere, the takeaway is clear: this condition is just one part of your story—not the whole of it.<br /><meta content="cms.next" name="cmsei" />
