Groundbreaking Support for Heart Health, Part 1
August 14, 2018
Dr. Ross Pelton, pharmacist, clinical nutritionist, health educator, and Scientific Advisor for Essential Formulas, discusses glutathione production – the body’s MASTER ANTIOXIDANT. It's used by every cell in the human body. And it’s especially vital for heart health. He discusses some of the ways the Reg’Activ Cardio Wellness formula helps you produce glutathione and reduces some of the risks associated with cardiovascular disease. He also discusses recent health reports that allege “probiotics may cause brain fog”? Isn’t the opposite true—that there’s an emerging science of “psychobiotics” where it’s been demonstrated that probiotics combat depression and anxiety? At what age is it safe for kids to begin to take Dr. Ohhira’s or Reg’Activ? What new insights are we gaining about the microbiome’s remarkable role in supporting human evolutionary adaptation? Where are we headed in probiotic science? Will there be targeted probiotics designed to treat specific diseases? Are current microbiome tests accurate enough to predict which probiotics people should take? What are “post-biotics” and why are they important? Click HERE for part 2.

ENCORE: The Right to Natural and Sustainable Health, Part 1
August 9, 2018
This episode was originally presented in August 2016 (so you'll pardon the election reference), but the issue is even more relevant now as evidenced in my latest video, "Pricey Pee:" Supplements Under Attack, Again! Click HERE to see the video. If, as they say, “All politics are local,” then our neighborhood is about unencumbered access to supplements, clean air/water/food, and freedom of choice in healthcare.That’s what the Alliance for Natural Health stands for, and today we interview Jonathan Posey, ANH’s Legislative Director. We recap a recent ANH story pushing back on Consumer Reports’ irresponsible and misleading attack on supplements. Do supplements really need to be more stringently regulated? Are they as dangerous as CR alleges? Who’s behind the hatchet job on supplements? ANH has issued an urgent Action Alert to consumers of supplements to contact Congress to prevent FDA from enacting new onerous regulations; Should they be implemented, many supplements we rely on could disappear from the marketplace; Jonathan Posey details the full scope of ANH’s mission on behalf of the natural community—GMO labeling, vaccine choice, and defending practitioners of integrative medicine from unwarranted attacks.

Colostrum, Nature’s Wonder Food, Part 1
August 7, 2018
Doug Wyatt, Director of the Sovereign Health Initiative, a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to educating people on natural and effective solutions for addressing the root causes of autoimmune and chronic conditions, describes the enormous therapeutic potential of colostrum. Mammalian mothers’ first milk, colostrum is a balanced blend of growth factors, lactoferrin, and immunoglobulins designed to prime babies’ guts and confer protection against pathogens. In the absence of colostrum, leaky gut develops, which enables development of allergies and autoimmunity. Colostrum has shown wide applicability to a variety of disease states. It may also regulate metabolism, helping to control appetite and preventing obesity and diabetes. Research has shown it confers a performance edge for athletes. Both adults and children—even infants—benefit from colostrum. Wyatt explains why colostrum should be a daily adjunct to everyone’s nutritional regimen. How to take it? What if you’re allergic to dairy or have lactose intolerance? How is Colostrum LD different from transfer factor? Wyatt explains how Colostrum LD is ideally prepared and made bio-available via a unique liposomal delivery system (LD).

A Comprehensive Critique of Vaccines, Part 1
July 31, 2018
Dr. Thomas Cowan, author of "Vaccines, Autoimmunity, and the Changing Nature of Childhood Illness," offers a comprehensive critique of vaccines. According to Dr. Cowan, they’ve not conclusively been demonstrated to be effective, and even if they confer short-term protection, it’s at the cost of long-term deleterious consequences to the immune system. Additionally, the toxins they unnaturally introduce as adjuvants—aluminum, mercury, formaldehyde, polysorbate—cause indelible harm. The average child receives 69 immunization shots by age 18; Dr. Cowan distinguishes between natural and artificially acquired immunity; What are the diseases whose incidence has soared in the wake of widespread immunization? Why is there such passionate disagreement among vaccine advocates vs. “anti-vaxxers”? Is there a way to mitigate the harm caused by vaccines by taking them selectively or scheduling them differently? What about the argument that universal vaccination confers “herd immunity”? How are vaccine manufacturers shielded from liability for vaccine injuries? What’s wrong with the science that denies a connection between vaccines and autism? What about the campaign to get grandparents to seek booster shots to safeguard their grandkids?
