    The Critical Role of the Gut Microbiome in Immunity

    Health Frontiers Radio - The Critical Role of the Gut Microbiome in Immunity As the world embraces getting back to work, many are justifiably concerned about the health and safety of their loved ones and the confusion over how to best protect their families.  Join our team as we discuss the critical role of the gut microbiome in immunity and its direct link to mental and physical health. A healthy gut microbiome or terrain will be around 80% beneficial bacteria and 20% other bacteria (physiologically unpleasant flora like candida, e.coli, etc.) When this ratio gets flipped, this is when the terrain is prone to welcoming the things we don't want. NOW WHAT ARE THESE THINGS WE DON'T WANT? Things that upset the ideal balance of microbes and leave our terrain vulnerable include: Antibiotics Refined sugars Vaccines OTC and prescription pain and fever medications Oral contraceptives Alcohol GMO's Antibacterial hand soaps and hand sanitizers Antibacterial cleaning products Chlorine (swimming pools, tap water, bleach, etc.) Aspartame (artificial sweetener found in diet products One of the most important things we can understand in order to have the best health possible is that the germ isn't the problem! *It is the gut biome or terrain that decides whether we get sick, get infected or not. *It's the terrain that decides if a wound will become infected *It's the terrain that makes one susceptible to disease Our body has 10 times more microbes living within it than cells So you can see that if we have more pathogenic (bad) than beneficial bacteria, it matters more than the health of our cells. In fact, without any healthy microbes, we would die. This is why antibiotic resistance is killing an increasing number of people around the world. WHAT IS THE ROLE OF SOFT DRINKS, EVEN 0 AND 1 CALORIE TYPES IN THE DESTRUCTION OF THE BUT BIOME?  HOW DO YOU CREATE A HEALTHIER GUT BIOME Gut health refers to the balance of microorganisms that live in the digestive tract. Looking after the health of the gut and maintaining the right balance of these microorganisms is vital for physical and mental health, immunity, and more.  These bacteria, yeasts, and viruses — of which there are around 100 trillion — are also called the "gut microbiome" or "gut flora." Many microbes are beneficial for human health, and some are even essential. Others can be harmful, especially when they multiply.  In this article, we list 10 scientifically supported ways to improve the gut microbiome and enhance overall health. 1. Take probiotics and eat fermented foods To boost the beneficial bacteria, or probiotics, in the gut, some people choose to take probiotic supplements. These are available in health food stores, drug stores, and online. Some research has suggested that taking probiotics can support a healthy gut microbiome and that it may prevent gut inflammation and other intestinal problems. Fermented foods are a natural source of probiotics. Consuming the following foods regularly may improve gut health: fermented vegetables kefir kimchi kombucha miso sauerkraut tempeh 2. Eat prebiotic fiber Probiotics feed on nondigestible carbohydrates called prebiotics. This process encourages beneficial bacteria to multiply in the gut. Research from 2017 suggested that prebiotics may help probiotics become more tolerant to certain environmental conditions, including pH and temperature changes. People who want to enhance their gut health may wish to include more of the following prebiotic-rich foods in their diet: asparagus bananas chicory garlic Jerusalem artichoke onions whole grains 3. Eat less sugar and sweeteners Eating a lot of sugar or artificial sweeteners may cause gut dysbiosis, which is an imbalance of gut microbes. The authors of a 2015 study in animals suggested that the standard Western diet, which is high in sugar and fat, negatively affects the gut microbiome. In turn, this can influence the brain and behavior. Another animal study reported that the artificial sweetener aspartame increases the number of some bacterial strains that are linked with metabolic disease. Metabolic disease refers to a group of conditions that increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease. Research has also indicated that human use of artificial sweeteners can negatively impact blood glucose levels due to their effects on gut flora. This means that artificial sweeteners may increase blood sugar despite not actually being sugar. 4. Reduce stress Sleep deprivation can negatively affect gut health. Managing stress is important for many aspects of health, including gut health. Animal studies have suggested that psychological stressors can disrupt the microorganisms in the intestines, even if the stress is only short-lived. In humans, a variety of stressors can negatively affect gut health, including: psychological stress environmental stress, such as extreme heat, cold, or noise sleep deprivation disruption of the circadian rhythm Some stress management techniques include meditation, deep breathing exercises, and progressive muscle relaxation. Exercising regularly, sleeping well, and eating a healthy diet can also reduce stress levels. 5. Avoid taking antibiotics unnecessarily Although it is often necessary to take antibiotics to combat bacterial infections, overuse is a significant public health concern that can lead to antibiotic resistance. Antibiotics are also damaging to the gut microbiota and immunity, with some research reporting that even 6 months after their use, the gut still lacks several species of beneficial bacteria. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), doctors in the United States prescribe around 30% of antibiotics unnecessarily. As a result, the CDC recommends that people discuss antibiotics and alternative options with their doctor before use. 6. Exercise regularly Regular exercise contributes to good heart health and weight loss or weight maintenance. Research has also suggested that it may also improve gut health, which may, in turn, help control obesity. Working out may increase species diversity. A 2014 study found that athletes had a larger variety of gut flora than nonathletes. However, the athletes also ate a different diet to the control group, which could account for the differences in their microbiomes. The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommend that adults engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each week, along with muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days each week. 7. Get enough sleep Getting enough good-quality sleep can improve mood, cognition, and gut health. A 2014 animal study indicated that irregular sleep habits and disturbed sleep can have negative outcomes for the gut flora, which may increase the risk of inflammatory conditions. Establish healthy sleep habits by going to bed and getting up at the same time each day. Adults should get at least 7 hours of sleep per night. 8. Use different cleaning products Just as antibiotics can disrupt the gut microbiota, so too can disinfectant cleaning products, according to the results of one study. The 2018 research analyzed the gut flora of over 700 infants ages 3–4 months. The researchers found that those who lived in homes where people used disinfectant cleaning products at least weekly were twice as likely to have higher levels of Lachnospiraceae gut microbes, a type associated with type 2 diabetes and obesity. At age 3, these infants had a higher body mass index (BMI) than children without exposure to such high levels of disinfectants. 9. Avoid smoking Smoking affects gut health as well as the health of the heart and lungs. It also greatly increases the risk of cancer. A 2018 review of research published over a 16-year period found that smoking alters the intestinal flora by increasing potentially harmful microorganisms and decreasing the levels of beneficial ones. These effects may increase the risk of intestinal and systemic conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Summary Maintaining a healthy gut contributes to better overall health and immune function. By making appropriate lifestyle and dietary changes, people can alter the diversity and number of microbes in their gut for the better. Positive changes a person can make include taking probiotics, following a fiber-rich vegetarian diet, and avoiding the unnecessary use of antibiotics and disinfectants. Other simple lifestyle changes a person can make include getting enough sleep and exercising regularly. However, a person should talk to their doctor before making any drastic changes to their diet. This is because for some people, such as those with irritable bowel syndrome or other medical conditions, probiotics and fiber-rich or vegetarian diets may not be helpful.

    Dr. David Williams Article Review - Covid 19 - Truth and Lies

    Health Frontiers Radio Podcast April 24. 2020 The Truth (and Lies) about Coronavirus  Despite nonstop round the clock coverage of the Coronavirus pandemic, many people are confused by so many conflicting reports and so much conflicting advice.  To whom can we look for straight answers?  Join our Health Frontiers panel as we review and discuss an impassioned editorial from David Williams MD, a highly respected family medicine and seasoned missionary practitioner who speaks from experience on the front lines of Covid-19 treatment in Alabama.   https://coronavirustruths.godaddysites.com/?fbclid=IwAR2b0s9X20MJNL7W1Hb2KkeDoyDyvE6qR8dT-091qhqRhiLjofYxy1lS5xU Logos Nutritionals deal of the week:  Follow the link to get two of our most potent immune system boosting products for only $50.  That's a $13 dollar savings!  Order here while supplies last.    Here is the full article: Coronavirus Truths The Truth (and Lies) about Coronavirus Primary Author: David Williams, MD  Revised April 23 with updates to section regarding COVID-19 deaths and the addendum. The Truth (and Lies) about Coronavirus This is being written on April 19, 2020. Although there is a central author, it is being written on behalf of multiple physicians in West Alabama and will be distributed through multiple medical offices. Between us we have well over a hundred years of practice and have treated hundreds of thousands of patients suffering infectious diseases. Including mission trips we have treated patients on five continents. We planned this date for several reasons. First, most of our patients now realize there is something "funny" about the coverage and handling of this disease. Secondly, if it wasn't being handled differently by April 19, we knew it would take action from us and our patients to change that handling. Finally, we were told in March by our state officials that experts predicted New York, Florida, Texas, and Alabama were projected to have the median most fatalities from the COVID-19 outbreak with the peak in Alabama expected to be April 19. On this date, Alabama was supposed to be on pace for 5,516 deaths and be short over 21,000 hospital beds. The information just listed, and every piece of information discussed below can be verified with a quick internet search. Many of the sources will be directly referenced. So here goes: TRUTH: COVID-19 is an actual medical disease that will lead to tragic deaths.  Although this seems obvious, it should be clear that no one involved wishes to express anything but sympathy to those affected and their families. Respiratory failure is a terrible way to die. That is true if that death is due to asthma, COPD, pneumonia, influenza, smoke inhalation, cystic fibrosis, ALS, or COVID-19. LIE: We don't know much about coronavirus. This is one of the media's favorite lies. It is much scarier if it is unknown. We know that coronavirus is a zoonotic disease. In other words, it's natural hosts are birds and animals as opposed to humans. We vaccinate domestic animals for them. We know that four forms cause colds every year. We know it mutates and evolves just like the flu. We know it sometimes becomes deadly as it has in SARS and MERS. We have done medical studies on coronavirus as a coexisting illness in patients in the past. LIE: COVID-19 is more infectious than influenza. This is one of two lies most often quoted by the millions who call national radio programs or post on social media. It is amazing how many people with absolutely no medical training somehow feel qualified to comment on this disease. Now, we want to be more fair than the national media so we are obligated to report there will never be a study where 1,000 people eat after people with the flu and 1,000 others eat after people with COVID-19 to see which one is more infectious. But the evidence is overwhelming. COVID-19 was first identified in late December/early January. A little over three and a half months in, we have slightly over 2 million confirmed cases globally. By comparison, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (Google Influenza Update- NCBI), influenza is responsible for up to a billion infections annually. Flu season is basically from the start of October until April. At the flu's three and a half month mark, that works out to 583 million cases globally. Even accounting for the fact COVID-19 is underreported that is a HUGE difference. However, there is even further evidence influenza is more infectious. Drawing from our own (meaning everyone reading this) experiences, when influenza gets started in a daycare or elementary school, they often have to be closed for a short time because otherwise, everyone gets it. All the kids, workers, teachers, and parents. The most students in one class we could remember was 23 of 25 out at the same time with the flu. Certainly, daycare classes in both Tuscaloosa and Jefferson counties have been closed this year. Contrast that to what you know about coronavirus. The NBA tested hundreds of players, staff, and media to come up with 14 cases. The vast majority did not contract the virus at all. The most extreme case in terms of possible COVID-19 exposure we could find was the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt. If you have never toured a military ship, space is at a premium. Very tight and crowded conditions. Secondary to this, hundreds of crew would become infected. So 4,800 men and women were exposed to multiple individuals with the virus several times a day, day after day. Despite that constant exposure, 4,140 (or over 86%) of those sailors would never even contract the disease. To address the possible rebuttals, it is absolutely true we don't know the true number of COVID-19 cases. It doesn't make the average person under 60 sick so we will never account for all of those. However, it doesn't even infect the average person with a healthy immune system who comes in contact with it, so the number can only be so high. It is true that testing has not been available everywhere the entire three and a half months but we are making up for that by testing generously now. Locally, DCH had tested 3,105 by April 17, 2,958 of which were negative. LIE: COVID-19 is more dangerous than influenza. The second lie of the medically uninformed. Even among those who do contract COVID-19, most under 60, including virtually everyone under 21, will never know they had it. On the USS Theodore Roosevelt, 60% were asymptomatic. Of the 2 million people who have tested positive for COVID-19 globally, most have had mild to no symptoms. By the three and half month mark of flu season, the flu had resulted in over 2 million severe cases requiring hospitalization. Influenza results in 290,000 to 670,000 deaths annually. COVID-19 deaths will be discussed below. LIE: The fact one doesn't know he or she has COVID-19 makes it more dangerous. All viruses shed and are primarily spread while the infected host is asymptomatic. Repeat, all viruses do this. We use the term virulence to describe how dangerous a virus is. The more virulent, the more likely to cause infection or more severe symptoms. One's chance of becoming infected with anything is multifactorial. In other words, lots of things come into play. The infectiousness and quantity of the pathogen comes into play. Your level of rest, nutrition, stress, age, and general health come into play as well. In the case of influenza, if you contract it you are going to get sick. There will never be a time where the NBA tests hundreds of players and staff to find 14 cases of influenza – two with mild symptoms and twelve with no symptoms. If you get influenza, even if you are Michael Jordan (who had perhaps the most famous flu game of all time), you are going to know. That is because the flu is so virulent that in 24 to 48 hours it overwhelms even the immune system of a healthy adult and you develop symptoms.  But in those 24 hours, it is multiplying, everyone around you is at risk. Depending on the exact exposure, the risk goes from high probability to certainty of contracting. For instance, if a high school student kisses their boyfriend or girlfriend during that day, they are getting the flu, period. But COVID-19 is so much less virulent it usually never overcomes the immune system of a healthy adult. Yes, they will shed this virus for up to 2 weeks, but most people around them still won't get it. Since we are in West Alabama, let's use a football example. Think of the healthy adult immune system as Alabama's 2019 football team. Influenza is LSU's 2019 football team. It only took one exposure to LSU to record a loss. COVID-19 is closer to Arkansas' 2019 football team, maybe Ole Miss. Alabama could have played them 14 times and were less likely to lose than the one game with LSU. It is possible to record a loss, with some fumbles and a blocked punt, etc. but way less likely. TRUTH: COVID-19 is more dangerous to the elderly and immunocompromised. TRUTH: That doesn't really mean anything in and of itself because everything is more dangerous to those unfortunate individuals. It does mean we should try to protect those individuals from infections in general. TRUTH: It is now almost impossible for anyone in the general public or general medical community to know the actual number of deaths from COVID-19. That is because sometime in March US hospitals started testing all ER patients and every patient who died, regardless of the cause of death, for COVID-19. Those patients are being included by the media in COVID-19 death tolls. Yes, a victim of a car accident brought to a US ER who passes away will be tested for COVID-19. Two of the most egregious examples of misrepresentation involve infants. One of the fascinating things about coronaviruses from a medical standpoint is children are almost universally immune to deleterious effects. A study from back i

    COVID-19 Novel Coronavirus Pandemic Update with Dr. Shallenberger

    Health Frontiers Radio COVID-19 Novel Coronavirus Pandemic Update The CDC's February 25 warning regarding the emerging threat of a COVID-19 outbreak in the US was chilling indeed: "It is not a matter of if, but when it will spread in US communities, and Americans should prepare for "significant disruption" to their lives as a result". Little did we know at the time just how disruptive it would be. Six weeks later it appears that the virus has peaked, but it has taken a devastating toll in terms of lives lost and economic impacts to our worldwide economy. Join the Health Frontiers Broadcast team as we interview Frank Shallenberger MD, a pioneer of integrative and anti-aging medicine and a respected authority on mitochondrial function and oxygen utilization in the body… something we know is significantly impaired in seriously ill Covid patients. Dr. Shallenberger will share with us the latest information from the front lines of combatting Covid in his patients and share some common sense wisdom on how to thrive during these uncertain times. We will once again review what is known about the virus, symptoms, treatments and prevention strategies that will serve you well in strengthening your resistance to viral or microbial threats.  Prevention The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. However, as a reminder, CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including: Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Stay home when you are sick. Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water. In addition to these avoidance/prevention strategies, the key to surviving and thriving in the face of emerging viral and microbial threats is to do all you can to maximize your health, vitality and natural resistance with a strong and balanced immune system: Eat a balanced diet of wholesome foods - meats, grains, fruits, nuts and especially vegetables. Avoid refined carbs and processed foods, carbonated sodas, unfermented soy products and GMO grains. Stay hydrated by drinking pure filtered water. Get adequate rest and regular moderate exercise. Take supplements to strengthen organs and detoxification systems, improve digestion, lower inflammation and oxidative stress, and maximize cellular energy potential… which is exactly what the Burgstiner Wellness Protocol is designed to do. Take supplements that strengthen immunity and help support natural resistance during cold and flu season such as Immunotabs Organic Immune Support, Vitamin C with mixed bioflavonoids, Vitamin D3, and of course Zinc. Get to know Dr. Shallenberger better by visiting his website or reading the latest and greatest in health news and how to get healthy and stay that way and reverse the aging process. https://www.antiagingmedicine.com https://secondopinionnewsletter.com Logos Nutritionals Deal of the week: Burgstiner Wellness Protocol Anti-Aging Protocol.  Take an additional 10% off with the coupon code ANTI-AGING at checkout.

    COVID-19 Pandemic Update and live Q&A

    Welcome to the health frontiers radio show and podcast where our goal each week is to empower our listeners to become the champions of their health and their future through education and proper supplementation.   Health Frontiers Radio COVID-19 Pandemic Update and Live Q&A On March 11, COVID-19 was officially declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, and it is proving to be much more disruptive and deadly than originally thought. Join the Health Frontiers Broadcast team for a live Q&A session as we review what is known about the virus, symptoms, treatments and prevention strategies that will serve you well in strengthening your resistance to viral or microbial threats. Reported illnesses have ranged from very mild (including some with no reported symptoms) to severe, including illness resulting in death. While information so far suggests that most COVID-19 illness is mild, a recent report out of China suggested that serious illness occurs in 16% of cases. Older people and people of all ages with severe chronic medical conditions — like heart disease, lung disease, and diabetes, for example — seem to be at higher risk of developing serious COVID-19 illness. A CDC Morbidity & Mortality Weekly Report that looked at the severity of disease among COVID-19 cases in the United States by age group found that 80% of deaths were among adults 65 years and older with the highest percentage of severe outcomes occurring in people 85 years and older. The CDC's recent (2/25) warning regarding the emerging threat of a COVID-19 outbreak in the US was chilling indeed: "It is not a matter of if, but when it will spread in US communities, and Americans should prepare for "significant disruption" to their lives as a result". The world is anxiously watching the progression of this new virus which is already having far-reaching implications on our economy, travel, schools, and politics. What is a coronavirus? Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses (including the common cold) so named because of the crown-like features on their surface. The new COVID-19 virus was first detected in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December 2019 and has since spread globally. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, these first reported cases had links to a live animal market, suggesting the outbreak started from animal-to-person spread. Coronaviruses are responsible for two other recent outbreaks: the 2003 SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) outbreak and the 2012 MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) outbreak. Latest Data on Outbreak As of March 20th, the number of confirmed cases worldwide was 254,996 and total deaths numbered 10,415 with 87,351 recovered. The virus outbreak seems to be most intense now in Western Europe, and the US has taken unprecedented steps to try to slow down transmission including the temporary closing of schools, restaurants, bars, malls, fitness centers and suspended public meetings of large groups, athletic events, etc. Johns Hopkins University has created a real-time data tracking web page to track confirmed global COVID-19 cases which may be viewed by clicking this link: https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 What are the symptoms? How does it spread? Patients with COVID-19 experience mild to severe respiratory illnesses. Symptoms include fever, cough, and difficulty breathing and can appear two to 14 days after exposure, according to the CDC. Around 80 percent of confirmed Chinese cases were mild, the New York Times reported, and the overall fatality rate is around 2.3% in China. Comparatively, the seasonal flu has a mortality rate of about 0.1 percent. The coronavirus mainly spreads from human to human. Like the common cold, the virus is transmitted when a person coughs or sneezes. It's also possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface with the virus on it before touching their mouth, face or eyes. For confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases, reported illnesses have ranged from mild symptoms to severe illness and death. Symptoms can include: Fever Cough Shortness of breath CDC believes at this time that symptoms of COVID-19 may appear in as few as 2 days or as long as 14 days after exposure. This is based on what has been seen previously as the incubation period of MERS-CoV viruses. Q: Am I at risk for COVID-19 from a package or product shipping from China? A: There is still a lot that is unknown about the newly emerged COVID-19 and how it spreads. Two other coronaviruses have emerged previously to cause severe illness in people (MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV). While we don't know for sure that this virus will behave the same way as SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, we can use the information gained from both of these earlier coronaviruses to guide us. In general, because of poor survivability of these coronaviruses on surfaces, there is likely a very low risk of spread from products or packaging that are shipped over a period of days or weeks at ambient temperatures. Coronaviruses are generally thought to be spread most often by respiratory droplets. Currently, there is no evidence to support the transmission of COVID-19 associated with imported goods and there have not been any cases of COVID-19 in the United States associated with imported goods. The latest information will be provided on the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) website as it becomes available.  Prevention The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. However, as a reminder, the CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including: Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Stay home when you are sick. Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe. Follow CDC's recommendations for using a facemask. CDC does not recommend that people who are well wearing a facemask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19. Facemasks should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID-19 to help prevent the spread of the disease to others. The use of facemasks is also crucial for health workers and people who are taking care of someone in close settings(at home or in a health care facility). Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water.   In addition to these avoidance/prevention strategies, the key to surviving and thriving in the face of emerging viral and microbial threats is to do all you can to maximize your health, vitality and natural resistance with a strong and balanced immune system: Eat a balanced diet of wholesome foods - meats, grains, fruits, nuts, and especially vegetables.

Could the old generic malaria drug hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil, Sanofi-Aventis, among others), which is also used for the treatment of rheumatic disease, be an essential treatment for COVID-19? This hypothesis, put forward by some, including Professor Didier Raoult of the IHU Méditerranée Infection in Marseille, was dismissed by other eminent infectious disease specialists and dismissed as fake news recently by the Ministry of Health. Yet it resurfaced yesterday with the presentation on YouTube by Prof Raoult of positive results in a non-randomized, unblinded trial of 24 patients. This follows encouraging in vitro results obtained by a Chinese team led by Xueting Yao, from Peking University Third Hospital, Beijing, China, which were published online by the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases on March 9th. However, the data were deemed insufficient by the infection community to recommend the compound as a treatment. Moreover, chloroquine is not listed among the four treatments studied as part of the recently launched European clinical trial piloted by Inserm, which includes 3200 severe hospitalized patients, including 800 French patients. Chloroquine was ruled out due to the risk of interactions with other medications for common comorbidities in infected patients, and because of possible adverse effects in patients undergoing resuscitation. The Marseille Study The European Union Clinical Trials Register shows that the Marseille study was accepted on 5th March by the National Medicines Safety Agency (ANSM).

    Back to the Future - Personalized Medicine

    Health Frontiers Radio Back to the Future - Personalized Medicine    Gone are the days when the family physician knew everything about you and your entire family history, your diet and lifestyle choices, and even the skeletons in your family closet!  All too often, patients today are treated as a set of impersonal data points and symptoms that are to be targeted and masked with drugs - with no regard to the underlying causes of the symptoms. Medicine has become so specialized that sadly, most physicians simply don't have the time, training or desire to investigate their patients' diet and the multitude of exposures that influence our health so profoundly.  Today we peer behind the curtain of Personalized Medicine with two cutting edge practitioners who take a holistic approach to patient assessment and treatment - our very own Dr. Chris Meletis (world-renowned Naturopathic Physician) and the extraordinary Al Fusco (Certified Clinical Nutritionist/Therapist and Wellness Coordinator who has served patients alongside grateful medical doctors for decades).  Join us for a fascinating discussion with these modern-day "Disease Detectives" who believe that alternative 'natural' medicine, for most health problems, should be the logical first choice in health care. You will be stunned by the clinical insights they share as we examine the methods they employ to assess health challenges and foster life transformation in their patients.
