Dr. Bill Rawls, author of "The Cellular Wellness Solution," joins us to discuss the role of herbal supplements in natural medicine.

Dr. Rawls relates how a personal health crisis impelled him to seek natural solutions. He dishes on supplement quality and how consumers can safely access the benefits of quality nutraceuticals. We focus on herbal supplements for immunity, PMS and menopause, inflammation, GI conditions, and cognitive health. Dr. Rawls explains the key role adaptogens play.

ENCORE: Debunking Misinformation About Vitamin D, Part 1
July 9, 2024
Recently, headlines have proclaimed that vitamin D is ineffective, that we shouldn’t bother testing for it, and that most people shouldn’t bother taking it. Pushing back on those assertions is Dr. William Grant, one of the world’s foremost vitamin D researchers with over 60 published studies. His latest paper explains why research on vitamin D is plagued by methodological errors and colored by bias against nutritional supplements that might supplant pharmaceutical drugs. Dr. Grant explains how vitamin D, far from being just a “bone vitamin”, can impact a wide range of conditions ranging from dementia and Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, mood disorders, and cancer; studies have shown it improves pregnancy outcomes and extends life; the latest research suggests a benefit for respiratory infections and Covid. We also discuss the important role sunlight exposure plays in vitamin D synthesis, and how wrong-headed health authorities have stigmatized sun exposure to great detriment. What levels are best? How much to take? Is there an upper limit? Dr. Grant is currently the director of the Sunlight, Nutrition, and Health Resource Center. Click HERE for part 2.
