The Voice of Health with Dr. Robert Prather

If you don't know what's going on, how can you treat? Dr. Prather tells some amazing patient stories that show the crucial role of patient history, a thorough exam, and in-depth diagnostics. In this episode, you'll learn:

--Why Dr. Prather believes taking shortcuts on proper procedures could be disastrous for the patient and why he refuses to compromise.

--The importance of patients being willing to take the time to make sure they are getting the care that they need.

--Why the doctors that rush you in and out of the office are more likely to be concerned with making money instead of patient care.

--That 90% of the diagnosis comes from the patient's history. (And how that history also designs out the basis of the patient's care.)

--Why Dr. Prather takes his patient histories in a living room environment instead of a sterile exam room setting. (And how Dr. Prather compares his job to being a detective.)

--The role family medical history plays in proper patient care.

--What Dr. Prather teaches to Medical Doctors and Nurse Practitioners about patient examinations.

--Why proper imaging should not be neglected in order for the patient to receive the right treatment--particularly with Chiropractic care.

--The reason why Dr. Prather's X-rays have been said to be in the Top 1%.

--Plus, hear Ben's inspiring story about losing 60 pounds (so far!) in just two-and-a-half months (after weighing over 400 pounds) on the Prather Practice Healthy Habits program.

3 out of 4 children experience ear infections by the age of 3--which can lead to learning disorders and hearing loss. But Dr. Prather points out that ear infections should not be a normal part of childhood if a child has a strong immune system. In this episode, you'll find out:

--What causes ear infections. And why bacterial infections are usually only the cause of about 20% of ear infections, with most infections being viral.

--Why keeping the Eustachian Tube open is the key to preventing ear infections and also a key to preventing sinus and upper-respiratory infections.

--How the muscle of the Eustachian Tube is the same material as the small intestine, making gut health crucial to stopping ear infections (and 80% of your immune system).

--Why the angles of a child's Eustachian Tune make children more susceptible to ear infections than adults.

--The reason why Dr. Prather recommends pregnant women (and women trying to get pregnant) get their gut health in order so they can help prevent future ear infections in their children.

--Why a baby with colic is likely to get ear infections. And the correlation between antibiotics and learning disabilities such as ADD and ADHD.

--The shocking research on the effectiveness (or ineffectiveness) of antibiotics for ear infections and how children are three times as likely to develop future ear infections if they receive antibiotics.

--The natural approaches to ear infections, including how Dr. Prather manually opens up the Eustachian Tubes on both children and adults to provide immediate relief. Plus, the role of Chiropractic adjustments and Diathermy.

--How Tinnitus and Vertigo in adults are associated with the Eustachian Tubes even though adults do not get ear infections at the rate of children.

--The Homeopathics, Herbals, and Supplements that are most helpful for Ear Infections and perfect for children since they have zero side effects.

An estimated 10 million Americans suffer from "the invisible disease" that has been misunderstood by doctors. In this episode, you'll learn:

--Why Dr. Prather considers it to be an autoimmune disease of the lymph system, and how the lymphatic system ("the sewage system of the body") works.

--The common misdiagnosis between Fibromyalgia and Myofascitiis. (Distinguishing between lymph system and the muscles.)

--The many causes of Fibromyalgia (digestive issues, food allergies, Lyme Disease, Epstein-Barr, environmental sensitivities, weakened immune system) and why correct diagnostics are absolutely necessary to properly treat each patient individually.

--The symptoms of Fibromyalgia (pain throughout the body that lasts at least three months, 11 of 18 palpation points where the lymph system is congested, fatigue, brain fog, sleep disturbance, irritable bowel syndrome, headaches and migraines, anxiety and depression).

--Why the National Fibromyalgia Association states that Chiropractic is the most helpful treatment for Fibromyalgia. (And the specific Chiropractic adjusting techniques that are effective for Fibromyalgia.)
