The Voice of Health with Dr. Robert Prather episodes

October 28, 2017 FLU SEASON: NOTHING TO SNEEZE AT
Flu season runs from October to March in the Northern Hemisphere. Dr. Prather will help you prepare for it. In this episode, find out:
--The signs and symptoms of flu. And how to tell the difference between the flu and a cold.
--How far water droplets carrying the flu virus can travel when someone sneezes. Plus, how long the water droplets can stay in the air to expose you to the flu virus.
--The complications of flu and how long the flu should last before it becomes really necessary to see a doctor.
--Those who are at most risk for getting the flu. And the test your doctor should give you to accurately diagnose the flu.
--Why a Structure-Function office like The Prather Practice focuses on building up the immune system instead of giving vaccinations. And the potential risks associated with taking the flu vaccine.
--Which flu vaccines you should not take because they do not work. And which flu vaccine you should ask for if you do decide to vaccinate.
--Why nutritional supplements are really "concentrated foods" you take to boost the immune system. And which supplements Dr. Prather especially recommends for the flu.
--How anti-cholesterol statin drugs make you MORE susceptible to the flu. And the supplement Dr. Prather suggests you take to help offset that susceptibility.
--That Homeopathic hospitals during the 1918 Spanish Flu had only a 10% death rate while the medical hospitals had a death rate of 90%. And how Dr. Prather uses Homeopathy to "make some amazing changes" in helping his patients fight the flu today.

October 21, 2017 SUGAR: SWEET TREAT OR TOXIC TRICK?
The average American eats 75 pounds of sugar each year when we should consume only 25 to 30 pounds per year. In this episode, find out:
--Why sugar itself is not a bad thing, but what we've done with it is.
--How the amount of fiber versus sugar in our diets has changed over the years.
--How sugar affects children differently than adults, as sugar actually changes a child's brain chemistry similar to how cocaine changes a brain. And how sugar addiction can lead to drug addiction.
--Why the problem is REFINED sugar that is more like a drug instead of the natural UNREFINED sugar that still contains all the nutrients.
--The results of Dr. Prather's tests on his kids and their friends in choosing between snacks made with refined versus unrefined sugar.
--Why you need a lot of fiber to properly process sugar. (And why oatmeal cookies can be good for you if done correctly.)
--How sugar changes I.Q., speed of learning, and the ability to concentrate.
--How sugar affects our immune system. And the links between sugar and cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity.
--The healthy alternatives to sugar: Stevia (which Dr. Prather calls his favorite since it contains NEGATIVE calories), Xylitol (which helps with cavities and strengthens teeth), Honey (which if grown locally helps fight allergies), and Rapidura.
--How purified fruit juices can be a problem since they take out all the fiber (and why Dr. Prather is pro-pulp).

October 14, 2017 THE CHEMICAL MASTER OF YOUR BODY–THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
Our Endocrine System influences how we think, our emotions, and who we are. Dr. Prather calls it "The Chemical Master" of our body. In this episode, you'll discover:
--That Endocrine System problems include hair loss, weight gain, a general feeling of malaise and fatigue. And even our happiness is connected to it. Anxiety and Depression often go away when the Endocrine System is fixed.
--Why women have an Endocrine System that is a moving target, while men have a very simple system. And hear the amazing explanation on why a healthy Endocrine system makes someone more attractive!
--How growing boys can become taller (with a variance of up to 4 inches) if their endocrine system is balanced properly. And why Jr. High basketball players come to see Dr. Prather to become taller!
--How Pituitary and Hypothalamus can impact the menstrual cycles of young women who often are encouraged to go on prescription birth control to balance out their periods. (And the unhealthy side effects of long term birth control use.)
--How pharmaceuticals can damage the Endocrine System. For example, how Synthroid causes depression in 80% of users. And how even Aspirin and Ibuprofen impact our Endocrine System in a negative way.
--The role the Parathyroids play in Calcium regulation (which if not balanced properly can lead to Osteoporosis or Kidney Stones).
--Why Headaches, Hypertension, Panic Attacks, and Anxiety are linked to Adrenal Gland function. And how 80% of High Blood Pressure is rooted in the Adrenal Glands.
--How Dr. Prather says we abuse our Pancreas and its importance to our health and wellness (such as in Type II Diabetes). And why Dr. Prather says Type 2 Diabetes can be controlled WITHOUT medication.
--The role of the gonads (the eggs and testes) in our Endocrine system and in regulating our hormones. And how our Endocrine System is directly tied to our sexual health, our muscle strength, and remaining young and vibrant. Plus, why Dr, Prather says declining Hormones result in aging instead of aging being the cause of declining Hormones.
--Why the chemicals in our food and water can damage sperm count in men and change the proper hormonal balance in our bodies.

Compared to 1995, the trend of obesity has skyrocketed in America. This now includes children. In this episode, find out:
--Why Millennials might be the first generation that has a shorter lifespan than the one before it. And how obesity is lowering America's economic productivity.

--The Bioimpedance test Dr. Prather uses to accurately measure body fat percentage in his patients. And why Dr. Prather believes the numbers reported on obesity are underreported.
--That most people who go on a weight loss program weigh MORE in five years than they would have had they not gone on a weight loss program in the first place. And why Dr. Prather is focused on the FAT PERCENTAGE and NOT weight in his weight loss patients.

--How the Hypothalamus is one of the most important aspects to weight loss.
--That stress is a big contributor to gut fat as higher stress hormone levels increase this "brown fat". And Dr. Prather's approach to combating brown fat through rebuilding the adrenals, the endocrine system, and the body's ability to handle stress.
--Dr. Prather's theories on why obesity has dramatically skyrocketed in the past twenty years. Hint: Look at the amount of chemicals the average person is now taking in today.
--How 1-in-3 children will become diabetic (a tripling in just 10 years). And why Dr. Prather says breastfeeding "is one of the biggest determinants" in reducing a child's likelihood of becoming obese in the future.
