ENCORE: Nutritional Treatment of Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, Part 1 October 22, 2020 Dr. Melvyn Grovit specializes in the nutritional treatment of Crohn’s Disease and ulcerative colitis—especially in kids. He describes his first case, that of a 17-year-old with Crohn’s Disease who was emaciated, debilitated, suffering from uncontrollable diarrhea, subject to frequent hospitalizations for intestinal obstruction, his academic career on hold, and at serious risk of early death. The Big Reveal: that patient was Dr. Grovit himself 65 years ago! Now 82, Dr. Grovit is healthy, in full remission without the aid of drugs, and actively treating patients in his nutritional practice in White Plains, New York. What type of diet supports healing of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)? Once healing has occurred, can you occasionally cheat? Which nutraceuticals has Dr. Grovit found helpful? Probiotics? Omega 3 fish oil? Specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs)? Fish peptides? Amino acids? Curcumin? What role can growth hormone (HGH) play in facilitating kids’ recovery? Why hasn’t the gastroenterology establishment embraced these methods? Dr. Grovit shares the remarkable results he’s seen in his practice, including a peer-reviewed study he’s published documenting his successes. He discusses the origins of NIBD in Kids, a non-profit devoted to promoting natural cures for pediatric IBD. Click HERE for part 2.

ENCORE: Are angels real? Do miracles happen? Part 1 October 20, 2020 Dr. Leo Galland, renowned clinician, educator, and best-selling author of "The Allergy Solution" (the basis for a hit PBS series) turns his attention to spiritual exploration in his new book, "Already Here: A Doctor Discovers the Truth About Heaven." The book recounts the death of his learning-disabled son, Chris, who returned as a spirit guide after a series of miraculous experiences awakened Dr. Galland to his consciousness-expanding messages. How does Already Here square with Dr. Galland’s rigorous scientific orientation? Is there an implicit lesson for parents, family members, and educators of children with challenging behaviors? For grievers? Do you have to subscribe to traditional religious beliefs to appreciate Already Here? How has Dr. Galland’s experience shaped his views of death? Has it impacted his interaction with patients? Did it undermine his confidence in the scientific method? Are there practical ways to apply Dr. Galland’s insights in our day-to-day lives? Click HERE for part 2.
