In this show:  We take a deep dive into Vitamin D = discipline Facing fears by being armed with knowledge that you can personalize Censorship in medicine and what to personally do about it Obsession with speed is an “anti-path” to contentment How mitochondria have their own genome. Exercise turns on mitochondria hormones (MTOS-c) and genes to boost better mitochondrial-whole body “cross-talk” Better to sleep ‘deeper’ than’ longer’ to clear your brain of waste. And more.    References: MOTS-c is an exercise-induced mitochondrial-encoded regulator of age-dependent physical decline and muscle homeostasis.

To vaccine or not to vaccine, that has become a polarizing question. But why is there censorship of early interventions and also of doctors writing scripts for them? Why are we being pitted against each other? Dr. Ruwart has been in the pharmaceutical industry for many years, run for the presidential primary on the Libertarian ticket, and is author of three books, one on how the FDA became what she thinks it is today. This is a tell-it-like-we-think-it conversation. Mary J. Ruwart, Ph.D. chairs a for-profit IRB and is a former research scientist in the pharmaceutical industry.  She has a B.S. in biochemistry and a Ph.D. in Biophysics from Michigan State University. She did post-doctoral work at the St. Louis University Medical School’s Department of Surgery and became an Assistant Professor of Surgery before joining the Upjohn Company.  Science is always changing, and we are in a circumstance that is evolving, but it seems that the “narrative” of much of the media is not representing accurately both sides of the science. Turns out there are details not widely discussed on most TV or radio shows. You will hear some of that here including:  Who is most apt to die from Covid and why. What does obesity have to do with it. Is heart damage happening more in vaccinated young adults than from Covid. Why getting two boosters a year exposes you to the “inflammatory spike” protein. The Covid spike protein binds to human tissues than any other animal the bat it derives from, and this is very unusual and makes us wonder about human gain-of-functioning engineering. We are seeing a level of censorship worldwide - bigger than we have ever seen before, even in the medical journals which are thus becoming untrustworthy now. So, in this show we ponder what is going on.  Did you know that the Pfizer submission to FDA for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) is still under EUA? The full approval has been for Biotech – in this show Dr. R. discusses the difference. You cannot have a vaccine on an EUA if there are already “early effective interventions”. Critical to keep in mind. We discuss the veracity of VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) and why this is not being discussed, tracked, and Dr. R’s interpretation of the numbers. Dr. Ruwart believes, teaches, and writes that “Whoever controls your body, controls your mind.” Think, read, question, debate, learn… but stay calm. And informed. Dr. Ruwart says, “If the vaccine works, then you don’t need to worry about an unvaccinated person. If the vaccine doesn’t work, it makes no sense to have a mandate. Especially with something so new.” Dr. Ruwart says the research on the children 5 to 12 years old was done on a group of 2000 children. None in the experiemental nor placebo arm during this time got Covid. 5% of the children were lost to follow-up. Is this enough safety data to inject our children? Dr. Ruwart says it is something to ponder. We discuss blood labs to see if heart damage is occurring and suggest nutraceuticals to take prophylactically, especially in children and young adults, that may be heart-protective - if you decide that moving forward is the best way to go. These are suggestions based on physiology, not studies. Many studies are included below for your personal reading.

Keeping the Noodles from Sticking Together in These Pandemic Times with Dr. Mary Ruwart PhD (#232)

Breast implants are a very popular surgery, especially for re-construction after breast cancer. Dr. Whitfield is an experienced, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in oncologic breast reconstruction. But he was also the doctor to discover that some cases of autoimmunity, chronic fatigue, cognitive decline… start in contaminated breast implants! Dr. Whitfiled completed six years of surgical training at Indiana University Medical Center. Then a Plastic Surgery Residency. And then a Fellowship in Microsurgery and Aesthetic under Dr. William Zamboni. Dr. Whitfield began to have patients that were experiencing systemic illness, and when he removed their implants, called an “explant” procedure, he found identifiable pathogens in the tissue capsule. Treating these infections got rid of many of these systemic problems, such as chronic fatigue. This lead Dr. Whitfield to start to add more services for his clients, including nutritional and nutraceutical advice as well as personal genetic predisposition screening. Dr. Whitfield has completed over 4000 breast procedures since 2004 including over 500 implant removals.  He has the largest series of explant specimens with PCR testing. This tests the genetic sequences of pathogens, so is a highly sensitive test to identify “stealth” infections and find their appropriate medications to eradicate them. While serving as the President Elect of the Research Foundation Dr. Whitfiled also gave testimony at the FDA hearings in 2019 regarding Breast Implant iIlness (BII).

Gut health rules the basis of health. We now know that our gut cross-talks with our heart, brain and all tissues.   If your gut is unhealthy, so is the rest of you!   In this show you will learn:    What functional medicine is and why it’s uniquely qualified to treat chronic illness What are elimination diets and if they’re effective The mind/body connection to illness How your emotional health affects your physical health Why food sensitivities have become so common The benefits of intermittent fasting How a mental, emotional, and spiritual connection to the food you eat influences your health How a low-FODMAP diet can drastically improve your digestive system    New Book: UNFUNC YOUR GUT: Boost Your Immune System, Heal Your Gut, and Unlock Your Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual Health.        

“Unfunc Your Gut” with Functional Medicine M.D. Dr. Peter Kozlowski (#230)

In this show you will learn how hormones keep not only your skin thicker but waist thinner, but also how estrogen and progesterone are critical for boosting immune health and even treating leaky gut.     Dr. Angela DeRosa is an osteopathic physicians specializing in female health. Dr. DeRosa first got into this field because she went through peri-menopause in her 20’s while attending medical school, and then experienced full-blown menopause at age 35.   When no other doctors could help her, Dr. DeRosa had to figure out how to accomplish that on her own.   As of 2021, Dr. DeRosa has been prescribing bioidentical hormone therapies for 25 years.   Dr. DeRosa also trains physicians.   In 2018, she launched The Hormonal Health Institute: Executive Instruction for MedicalProfessionals, a hormonal healthcare consultancy designed to instruct medical providers and provide practice development training on bioidentical  hormone replacement therapies.   In addition to her educational and clinical activities, Dr. DeRosa serves as the medical director for Belmar Pharma Solutions where she provides clinical and scientific technical support for all aspects hormonal therapies. Belmar pharmacy is the same facility that is “Behari Certified”, fulfilling low-dose-naltrexone scripts for $55 for a three month period.   In this show you will learn:    Males have multiple forms of FDA approved testosterone, while women have known. If the FDA succeeds in blocking compounding pharmacists from compounding bioidentical hormones, there will be NO testosterone replacement available for women! Why testosterone is one of the most important hormones for aging women. How (and why) big pharma is lobbying against bio-identical HRT The importance of custom tailoring hormone treatments instead of  using a “one size fits all” approach.    Why your doctor “must” track FSH and SHBG when prescribing you hormones. Why you want to achieve a “pre-menopausal” FSH level, to improve if not normalize your blood pressure, waistline, bone density, cognition and more. Not to mention your vocal cords, to avoid “little old lady” voice. The gender gap in healthcare. How a lack of transparency in the FDA puts patient health at risk. The evidence demonstrating compounded hormones work for  millions of people.   This is a must-hear conversation between two amazing women who hormone therapies have saved their own lives as well as patients they collaboratively serve.

How Not to Let Your Doctor Slowly Kill You Author: Dr. Angela DeRosa DO (#229)

In today’s environment, there is science to back both polarized sides. So it is difficult for everyone and anyone to figure out the truth. It takes courage to speak science that might not be the status quo. This show is about courage. On this show you will only hear peer review facts.  We share about protective nasal sprays, how you can make them at home, and much, more. In today’s dynamic dialogue you get to hear one of the most active academic physicians from Dallas, TX, Dr. Peter McCullough. In this show you will hear, backed by facts:  What is going on with early intervention. What is going on with the Delta variant and vaccines. Durable immunity.  ·      What’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and how and why to interpret this.  How to make nasal sprays that block viral adherence in mucous membranes. And more.    Plus, the reminder to eat your veggies.
