Keeping Seasonal Allergies in Check, Part 1
July 20, 2023
Allergens normally begin spreading throughout the country in the spring when plants begin to release pollen; however, research is showing that allergy season tends to get worse every year, and the length of time these allergens spread across the country is growing. Nate Jones, CEO of Xlear, Inc., details why we shouldn’t use antihistamines in our fight against allergens. Instead, since most allergens enter through the nose, mouth and eyes, keeping these gateways to the body clean is of utmost importance during allergy season if you want to reduce symptoms and not rely on antihistamines. Nate also brings us an update on his courageous advocacy for health freedom, and for upholding the right to share truthful scientific information to the public. Click HERE for part 2.

Avoiding Cancer Treatment Side Effects, Part 1
July 18, 2023
Dr. Mary Hardy is a pioneer, having founded the Integrative Medical Clinic at prestigious Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles in 1998.

She discusses how supplements can be properly combined with conventional treatments like chemo, radiation and immunotherapy. What are some of the pitfalls to be avoided? What nutraceuticals can be safely used while undergoing cancer care? How can they be used to ameliorate side effects like neuropathy, fatigue, and low white blood cell counts? Why it’s important to work with an integrative oncologist to tailor treatment. Dr. Hardy discusses the background of a modern iteration of an old remedy—fermented wheat germ, now called Metatrol. Its efficacy in supporting cancer patients during treatment has been validated in numerous studies. It may also provide overall energy and immune-supportive benefits. Click HERE for part 2.

Dr. Tania Dempsey specializes in treating these complicated chronic disorders. She has embraced and advanced a new paradigm based on addressing Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). What is MCAS? How is it differentiated from ordinary allergies, and why are its symptoms so pervasive? What are its causes and triggers? What role for low-histamine diets? Antihistamines? Other novel medications? What nutritional supplements can facilitate its resolution? How does recognition of the contribution of MCAS facilitate treatment of patients suffering from Long Covid and vaccine injuries?

The Hazards of “Forever Chemicals” and How To Help Get Them Banned, Part 1
July 5, 2023
Rob Verkerk, Executive Director of the Alliance for Natural Health USA joins us to discuss the hazards of “forever chemicals”—perfluoroalkylated substances—also known as PFAS. A crowd-sourced project enabled ANH to test random samples of kale—both conventional and organic—and detected concerning amounts of PFAS contaminants. Why are PFAS so ubiquitous in the environment? What are their health impacts? Why haven’t the FDA and EPA highlighted their presence in the food supply? Why is it imperative to call for an outright ban on these dangerous industrial chemicals?
