The Voice of Health with Dr. Robert Prather

Since the Prathers are grandparents for the first time with a three-month old grandson, they thought this would be a great time for a show on infant health care! In this episode, find out:

 

--Why Structure-Function Health Care during an infant's formative years can benefit their long-term health. And why Dr. Prather says this type of care is where children should be instead of Disease Care.

 

--That children who have 6 or more antibiotics before the age of 5 are 6 times more likely to develop learning disabilities. And why Dr. Prather says children should be kept away from pharmaceuticals (even over-the-counter ones).

 

--How babies "love" the gentle, non-force Chiropractic adjustments in Dr. Prather's office. And why Dr. Prather says it is the safest form of health care based on insurance premiums of health care providers.

 

--That Colic (which affects 40% of babies) comes from the gut, where infants have "exquisite sensitivity". And how Dr. Prather uses probiotics, herbals, and Homeopathics to give babies relief when medical options have little to offer.

 

--How a baby's gut health impacts their I.Q., the strength of their immune system, and even their tendency to get ear infections. And why Dr. Prather says there is a connection between ADD/ADHD and gut health.

 

--How Dr. Prather helps Otitis Media (Ear Infections) through Chiropractic adjustments, Diathermy, and Homeopathy. And why recommendations of removal of Adenoids and Tonsils are often unnecessary after Dr. Prather's natural approach.

 

--Why breastfeeding is the best way to maintain the health of a baby, with 60% fewer health problems in breastfed babies.  

 

--The diagnostics necessary for young children, including a stool kit every six months up until the age of six. And why Dr. Prather says this will result in an allergy-free child that doesn't get sick.

 

--Why an annual Hair Analysis can help prevent Heavy Metal Toxicity in children, who are far more sensitive to such toxicities compared to adults. And how Centers for Disease Control studies show 40% of children suffer from Heavy Metal Toxicity.

 

--How Chiropractic adjustments on a child's nervous system can even impact their behavior so that the adjustments make recommended medications like Ritalin unnecessary.

It's that time of year, when 1-in-5 of us suffer from allergy symptoms. In this episode, discover:
--The difference between allergies and sinus congestion (which 1-in-3 have).
--The role of the liver in sinus congestion (and why it has to be treated in cases where the patient tests negative for allergies).
--How acupuncture (even non-needle options!) can provide "immediate relief" from allergy symptoms.
--The 100% success rate chiropractic adjustments on sinuses have in providing relief.
--The safer, less-invasive approach homeopathy provides instead of allergy shots (with no side-effects and no risk).
--Why Dr. Prather practices an individualized approach to health care and how he identifies which approach is right for the patient.
--How a stronger immune system leads to fewer allergies (and how to repair your immune system).
--The connection between the gut (which is 80% of your immune system) and allergies.
--How parasites are a root cause of almost all adult-onset asthma (and in many children, too).
--How an improperly-functioning liver (which most people have) can cause sinusitis.

With the advancing of the years, we can actually turn back the clock according to Dr. Prather. In this episode, we talk about:
--The difference between chronological age and biological age, and how the two may not always line up. (And why, biologically,we should live to around 160.)
--Why the lungs are the best way to determine your biological age. Plus, how your kidneys, nervous system, and skin help determine biological age.
--The treatment Dr. Prather uses to take 20 years off of someone's biological age.
--The closer you are to homeostasis, the younger you are. And the more you are out of homeostasis, the older you are.
--How stress is the biggest barrier to longevity. And the muscle measure Dr. Prather uses to measure stress in the body.
--Why stress is the leading reason people seek out Chiropractic care. And how Chiropractic reduces biological age by changing the nervous system.
--How you'd look 21 for the rest of your life if you are perfectly oxygenated. And how to improve your low oxygenation.
--How proper balancing of hormones (which most people do not have) can change the aging process. And why Dr. Prather says his office has more ways of accomplishing that than almost anyplace in the country.
--How 70% of depression issues are related to the endocrine system (which also impacts weight gain and certain types of cancers). And how 60% of all cancers are related to your diet.
--How free radicals cause aging (liver spots, macular degeneration, cataracts).

Fibrocystic Breast is something that HALF of all women will suffer from at some time in their life. It can be scary and painful. In this episode, discover:
--That Fibrocystic Breast should be taken seriously (but sometimes is not by doctors) and is an indicator that something is wrong in your overall health and well-being.
--Why it is important to learn how to do a proper self-exam to differentiate between Cancerous Tumors and Cysts.
--The controversy on whether Fibrocystic Cysts have a correlation with breast Cancer. And why Dr. Prather believes there is a higher likelihood of getting breast Cancer if you have Fibrocystic Breasts.
--How the traditional medical treatments for Fibrocystic Breasts have a low success rate. And the amazing story of a young woman who was recommended for a double mastectomy, but had no cysts just three months after Dr. Prather dealt with the underlying "free radical pathology in her gut".
--The "Body Is The Hero" Structure-Function approach to Health Care that Dr. Prather uses to get the body working in proper balance (or "Homeostasis"). And how getting the body into Homeostasis allows the body to heal itself of Fibrocystic Breast.
--Why Dr. Prather's Structure-Function Health Care approach relies more heavily upon diagnostic tools and lab tests than the Disease Care approach. And how this reflects an individual approach to a person's health care as the underlying cause of symptoms can be different for each patient.
--The many different underlying causes of Fibrocystic Breast including hormones, toxic liver, lymphatic problems, structural issues, low Iodine, low Vitamin D, or an imbalance of Fatty Acids.
--That there are 64 different hormones that affect the breasts, the balance of which vary based upon the time of the month. Plus, the gentle approach Dr. Prather uses in balancing out a patient's hormones compared to dangerous pharmaceutical hormone replacement or bioidentical hormones.
--How high fiber intake reduces toxins, balances hormones, sheds weight, lowers free radicals, and helps clear up the Fibrocystic Breast condition. And why Dr. Prather says 98% of people need more fiber.
--How a backed up lymph system (through infections or allergies) impacts breast health. And why Dr. Prather says to avoid underwire bras.
