Last week we talked about how to prepare for a possible water shortage.  This week we’re going to focus more on the quality of the water rather than the availability of it.   In this episode, our special guest Winston Kao covers:

• The types of water that are good and the types of water that are bad – and why. 
• What is in the bad water that is bad for you – and what it can do to your health.
• Which type of filtration systems you should avoid and why.
• What kind of filtration systems will give you the best water.
• Why the amount of time water is in contact with a filter is the key.

If a hurricane were to hit Florida, or Texas, or Louisiana…or an earthquake leveled L.A – there could be water shortages.  These are even more dangerous than food shortages because your body can go longer without food than it can without water.  So how do you make sure you’re not at risk?   In this episode, Dr. Nedd covers:

• Different ways to store water – which are good and which are bad. 
• What supplies you’ll need to store water.
• What are the best sources of water.
• How long stored water is good.
• Which water filtration systems are best.

Some countries are experiencing food shortages and there has been talk we might have some here too.  This would have seemed like crazy talk, except for the fact that we experienced toilet paper shortages just two years ago when that seemed impossible.  In Florida, hurricanes are a possibility and you could find yourself without the ability to shop for food for days or even weeks.  So preparation for these scenarios is just something practical to do.   In this episode, Dr. Nedd covers:

• The differences between food shortages from natural occurrences and those from political and policy causes. 
• The most important factors in doing preparation for a possible food shortage.
• The different ways of storing food for a time you might need it.

It’s hard enough to be a kid these days without having to fight the peer pressure to use drugs.  Drugs that are so much more dangerous and deadly than the drugs their parents might have tried in the 60s and 70s.  How can we help our kids fight the peer pressure, protecting them from the dangers of drugs?  Darren Tessitore found the answer:  the right kind of drug education.  And it is getting results!   In this episode, special guest Darren Tessitore covers:

• What he’s been doing to help educate kids about drugs and how he got around the school barriers that threatened to stop his progress. 
• The truth about vaping that most kids and parents don’t know – you definitely will want to hear this.
• How fentanyl is killing more kids than the street drugs they are found in – and how your kids can avoid this growing danger.
• The new program that will help even more kids and which will pay the people who do the work (rather than them just volunteering their time).

Is there any way to check on the function of your heart, rather than just finding out if it has already been damaged in the past?  Wouldn’t it be better to see where the function is suboptimal and have a way to improve that with nutrition?  In this episode, Dr. Nedd covers:

• Why there was a need for a heart test in addition to the EKG and stress test. 
• What the Heart Sound Recorder tests for and why that’s important.
• How nutritional solutions improve test results and how quickly that can happen.
• How the test is done, how to get it done for yourself, and what it costs.
• How this doesn’t replace the standard heart test but complements them.

Just like with health-related issues these days, ‘climate’ and ‘climate change’ has become so politicized it’s hard to get accurate info.  A scientist who has worked in this field thinks this is ridiculous and wrote a book to discuss this problem and then goes over what the true info is.  In this episode, Dr. Nedd covers:

• How the term ‘climate change’ is a wrong term the way it’s being used.
• How both sides of the political spectrum contribute to the problem.
• What long-term graphs show about increasing global temperatures and the rising of the seas.
• The actual problems that exist and what we can/should do about them.
