Hemp Based Nutritional Extracts, Part 1
March 30, 2016
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a compound that is showing a wide array of health benefits. Since it’s a constituent of marijuana, it’s been stigmatized as an illicit recreational drug. But highly purified, standardized CBD is non-hallucinogenic, absent the THC component that gives marijuana its “high.” Dr. Daniel Kiddy, CBD researcher, and Todd Davis, CEO of Endexx (CBDUnlimited.com) joins Dr. Hoffman for a discussion of the medical applications, politics, and legality of CBD. It harnesses the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) to deliver anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immune-regulatory and analgesic benefits. Thus its applications to a wide variety of conditions: joint pain, headaches, insomnia, anxiety, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, heart disease, neuropathic pain, headache and migraine, nausea, neurodegenerative disease like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, and even cancer. Is CBD legal? Can you get it without a prescription? Will it eventually find its way into health food stores like other herbal extracts? How can you be assured of quality? Will FDA and BigPharma succeed in turning it into a lucrative prescription drug, limiting consumer access and hiking prices? What’s forthcoming on the CBD research front? Click HERE for part 2.

Revolutionary Treatment for Autoimmune Disorders, Part 1
March 23, 2016
LDN—Low Dose Naltrexone—is a little-known, inexpensive generic drug that could revolutionize treatment for autoimmune disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, depression, cancer, and even autism. Linda Elsegood, founder of the LDN Research Trust and author of "The LDN Book," describes her own recovery from debilitating multiple sclerosis through her use of LDN. What is LDN? How does it work? Why does it seem like a “panacea” for so many different diseases and conditions? Do research studies offer proof that LDN works? Does LDN have side effects? Can it be used alongside other commonly prescribed drugs? Why is it so seldom utilized by mainstream doctors? Click HERE for part 2.

Always Hungry, Part 1
March 22, 2016
Are you “Always Hungry?” That’s the title of a new book by Harvard endocrinologist and researcher, Dr. David Ludwig. What’s the true basis for food craving? Why doesn’t “calories in, calories out” explain why people retain and gain weight? How can it be that, as Dr. Ludwig states, “Overeating doesn’t make you fat”? Why isn’t intense exercise a panacea for overweight? What crucial roles do insulin and inflammation play in obesity? How does the Always Hungry Solution address the true causes of weight gain? Dr. Ludwig issues an urgent call to action to provide our kids with a "safe zone" against the toxic food environment to which they’re continually exposed, to save them from our current epidemic of childhood obesity--which is ushering in a disease crisis among our adult population.
