Mukesh Saraiya, MD, is board certified in both internal and pulmonary medicine.

For several years he has helped many patients suffering from COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and other lung problems by injecting them with their own immature stem cells after carefully harvesting them from their bone marrow and fat cells. The very fact that we all have these “reserve” stem cells that can not only travel to where they are needed after injection, but actually adapt and grow and renew tissues (thereby often stopping symptoms) where they are not working properly, absolutely amazes me. But that, and the fact that he is a brilliant and very kind man, is only my secondary reason for welcoming Dr Saraiya to this KTC podcast!

You know that I believe that many of our diseases are due to bugs-fungus specifically. Our immune systems are supposed to eradicate bugs in our blood stream and other tissues by having our white blood cells “phagocytizing” them (gobbling them up like the old arcade game Pacman). As I have reported, certain disease causing fungi outsmart phagocytosis by fooling it in favor of the fungus’s continuous growth throughout our body. That seems bizarre, but it happens nonetheless. What if the white blood cells ability to gobble up fungus was renewed?

Some medical reports indicate that stem cells tend to enhance our natural phagocytosis, so not only do they correct what might be wrong with the patient (arthritis, lung problems, etc…), but in doing so, they might begin enabling our white blood cells to gobble up the very disease causing fungus that might have caused the problem. Maybe, just maybe, that is how stem cell injections help so many!

Joining me on this podcast with Dr Saraiya is Kyle Drew. Kyle and I have been impressed with the ability of stem cells to fix what ails us for many years, so I invited him to join us in this fascinating discussion. Now, open your ear canals and your mind…

Do you believe that if you eat correctly and pray regularly you can recover from illness? YES? Then you've landed at the perfect podcast because my guest today, Erin Porter did just that to recover from decades of bad health!

To say that I enjoyed meeting Erin is an understatement, because some of you have pointed me to her incredible website, www.eatpraygetwell.com, in which she talks about finding Know The Cause on TV and the discovery was life changing. In fact, so many wonderful people dedicate segments of their social media platforms or websites to the fungus link and give me credit for their health restoration and that makes me feel so good! Thank you Erin and thank you all!

Please listen carefully. No little girl should be relegated to a lifetime of serious health problems, including an estimated 100+ rounds of antibiotics (docs, if 3 rounds don't do the trick, stop thinking "bacteria!") and 4 sinus surgeries, yet thousands are living this way because our ENT doctors never read the 1999 landmark study from The Mayo Clinic that implicated fungus in over 90% of all chronic sinus infections....NOT BACTERIA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Erin found her way out and shares this interesting story with us......

I only get to see Dr Greg Emerson and Emma once annually, so I like to toss the conversation around a bit. After all, these two live on many acres in Brisbane, Australia and 80% of everything they eat is raised and grown on their own farm!

Naturally, toward the end of this podcast, we address how Emma takes to making friends with one of their food-supply animals and then having to sacrifice it to eat!

She is smooth in her response-much more so than I would be! Nobody eats Charlie chicken! One thing that I love addressing with Dr Emerson is the fact that mold and fungus play such a large role in him medical practice, whereas before we met, it was of minimal importance.

Sit back, relax and enjoy as you learn of yet another physician (and Emma!) who "sees the light" of mold related diseases!

It used to be very rare that a physician would contact me and desire more information on "the fungus link" to disease. Today, it is not rare at all for physicians to contact me and want to learn more. One such physician, Greg Emerson, MD of Brisbane, Australia, knew inherently that fungus played a role in his patients ill health, but my website, with all of the scientific papers on it (thanks, Dr. Curtis!!!) convinced him to contact me. That was a few years ago and he has visited our TV production facility in TX annually to update us on what he continues to learn from his studies abroad! In this podcast, Dr Emerson delves into a recent visit to Sedona, AZ and the contact he made there. He then teaches us about something that I was honestly ignorant of until this conversation; brown fat! Funny, but these podcasts open my eyes incredibly! Learn with me now as Dr Emerson shares some great information regarding your heath!

Allopathic vs. Alternative Medicine

In medicine, an "allopath" desires to eliminate illness by using pharmaceutical drugs and/or surgery, whereas an alternative doctor seeks to better understand the "etiology (cause)" of the illness. Family Practitioner, Lynn Jennings, MD, and I discuss the differences between the two types of medical practitioners. She has practiced medicine both ways and prefers one over the other. Relax and listing to a most interesting doctor discuss her preference when it comes to patient care.

Auto-Immune Disorders - Interview with Dr. Lynn Jennings

Clearly our brightest and best do not know the cause of any of the 90 diagnosable "auto-immune" disorders. Blaming it on an "over active immune system," in which, they tell us, cells literally fight each other is as good of a definition as we may ever get. This lack of knowledge is just so sad, but when you consider that "the cause" of any disease takes a back seat to "the treatment" of any disease in America, you'll better understand where our scientists place disease priorities; finding new pharmaceutical drugs.

If you're suffering from an auto-immune disorder, you'll find this conversation with board certified family doctor Lynn Jennings, MD fascinating! Might a changed lifestyle ameliorate some of your misery? Listen and learn.....and pass it along to your loved ones! - Doug Kaufmann -

Kyle Drew sits in for Doug, and visits with Dr Scott Fogle of Life Extension. How to optimize hormone function in the body. Can you have ideal hormone levels without hormone replacement therapy? How has hormone replacement therapy changed from the early days of estrogen therapy for women, and bodybuilder-levels of testosterone for men? Can you be at "low-normal" levels of any hormone, but still need to bump it up to something more optimal? What happens when cortisol levels are too high or too low? Role of DHEA in hormone production, and the difference between regular DHEA and the 7-Keto form.

Kyle Drew sits in for Doug, and visits with Dr. Heidi Yanoti of Life Extension. The powerful, but unappreciated role of "neurotransmitter balance" in the brain. Kyle's favorite form of magnesium, specifically for brain function. The medicinal qualities of spices. Why curcumin has become such a popular supplement. What is black cumin seed oil, (NOT curcumin), and why it may be the next big thing. How saffron became the go-to spice supplement for mood enhancement.
