Cardiovascular health — hardening of the arteries, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, etc — are all a result of inflammation in the vascular system. Testosterone is not just important for sexual health. It is important for cardiovascular health — and NOT just for men. It is equally as important for women to have proper levels of testosterone. Deprivation or decrease of testosterone contributes to stiffness in arteries. On this episode Dr Maulfair discusses ways testosterone is decreased, but also things we can do to ake sure we have the proper amount.

As Dr Maulfair always says, the best treatment for any chronic disease is taking measures to sustain health, and prevent disease in the first place. Disease can ONLY occur in the absence of health. That sounds philosophical, but it's not. It's an actual fact. However, on this episode, Dr Maulfair does share a little philosophy on health. See what you think.

If you listen to our podcast regularly, you'll know there are many episodes where we give you information on how to maintain health and prevent disease, including the show on The Ultimate Cancer Prevention Program. However, if you could only choose one thing to do — only one — to prevent cancer, what do you think that would be? On this episode Dr Maulfair shares with you what he says, in his humble opinion, is the SINGLE BEST thing you can do to prevent cancer and other chronic diseases.

Sad news today, as earlier this morning the world lost one of the most brilliant minds of all time — theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking. One of Hawking's famous quotes was "Life would be tragic if it weren't funny." How appropriate is that quote when it comes to HMOs! Of course, this episode is in jest, but the things you'll hear from your HMO are almost as ridiculous — to the point where it would be laughable — IF IT WASN'T YOUR HEALTH THAT WAS AT STAKE! Unfortunately, when your "health care plan" in actuality is a "disease management plan" THAT IS A TRAGEDY. And there is nothing funny about that.

We've talked about this before, including here in this blog post (http://maulfairmedicalcenter.com/maulfair-medical-center-blog/2008/11/15/reduce-stress?rq=vitamin%20c), but here, again, is a study proving that high doses of vitamin C improve cancer treatment. Not only does high-dose vitamin C therapy aid in treating cancer, it also goes a long way in helping to prevent it. This episode might be what it takes to move you to more body-friendly treatments.

You don't drink excessively. You never did. Why do you have some type of disease of the liver? To put it simply, the liver is the body's main detoxifying organ. But it can only handle so much. Eventually, toxins OTHER THAN alcohol take their toll. These toxins include everyday chemicals we're exposed to, along with prescription medications, and more. Detoxifying the liver is key to health.

Here is another episode where we've talked about non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). And here is one where we've discussed liver disease brought about specifically by medication(s).

You cannot restore health by managing disease. It's that simple. So simple, that it bears repeating. You CAN NOT restore health by managing disease. Yet that's a hard concept for most to wrap their head around. It's a foreign concept because that's pretty much all that the medical profession does when it comes to chronic diseases — arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, IBS, Crohn’s disease, and the list goes on and on. They MANAGE disease, never getting to the root of the problem, or even attempting to truly restore health. In other words, "health care" professionals manage your symptoms, NOT eliminating what is causing the symptom(s) — the DISEASE!

Prescription drugs are chemicals. Not only do they add toxins to your body, but these chemicals deplete vital nutrients from your body. These are nutrients that our cells NEED to create energy and function properly. So at minimum, if you're taking any kind of drugs you need to also be taking some type of nutrient therapy. In our practice, we utilize a lot of infusion therapies — IV treatments with nutrients — because whenever you receive anything as an infusion you bypass the intestinal tract. This ensures that 100% of what you're getting is absorbed and available for use.

He's been on our podcast before (http://maulfairmedicalcenter.com/podcast/ep-046-the-intelligent-alternative-to-biopsy-with-dr-robert-bard?rq=bard), but he's back again to talk about some more of the latest technology and data regarding imaging. Because of his safe and superior alternative to other diagnostic tools, such as mammography, many people are learning being diagnosed with cancer does not necessarily have to mean a death sentence.

Toxic metal exposure, including mercury and aluminum, is getting more attention as a leading cause of autism and other diseases. Children, beginning at birth, are receiving more vaccines than ever before.

The degree of toxicity and the effect toxins have vary from person to person because everyone is unique. But TOXINS are still TOXIC to everybody. How much we can tolerate before they do damage and it becomes obvious shouldn't be the question. The question should be: How do we remove our exposure to toxins and toxic metals in the first place?

Our bodies can only handle so many toxins before they malfunction and say "Look, I can't handle any more!" We then become symptomatic — which then is often handled by additional toxic exposures (pharmaceutical drugs). There ARE many alternatives — including improving the quality of your health — so in turn, you can tolerate many abuses more effectively than if you are ill to begin with.

You CAN be healthier than you are. You CAN live a higher quality of life. Just get educated. That's where we come in — by continuing to listen to our podcast, attending one of our FREE seminars, or by giving us a call. 610-682-2104
