Medical Myths, Legends & Fairytales

Thank you to Dr. Christiansen for this podcast! This IS the problem with finding solutions to your health issues. Conventional AND functional medicine are filled with DOGMA. Everyone is trying to get their opinions and interpretations of some research study but it’s an OPINION. It’s not necessarily applicable to someone’s unique situation and lifestyle. If you are struggling with a health issue please keep this in mind next time you listen to a well known doctor. They mean well but is it truth? Dogma? Perception? Grant sponsored? Only you can internalize, test, and see for yourself what works for you.

If you’re looking to uncover the truth behind medical myths or simply be more knowledgeable about your health - this is a must-listen podcast for you! Dr. Alan is does a fantastic job leading conversations with fellow doctors, researchers, scientists, and other experts. Highly recommend listening and subscribing!

I am very confused by your report on iodine and thyroid autoimmune. Your saying to avoid sea salt because of the high iodine and yet your information goes totally against Dr David Brownstein who has helped so many people heal their thyroid by adding iodine. Even many nutritionist and natural healing doctors are using iodine now. My own thyroid seems to be much better since I’ve added Iodine salt and more seafood. In some people with thyroid issues adding iodine can cause problems but testing and how your feeling can determine if iodine is right for you. Also you did a talk once about colloidal silver and were warning people away from it. It takes an extreme amount and years of high use to turn a person blue. In small amounts it has been shown and proven to be quite safe. While traveling once I had a severe tooth infection to the point where I was having heart palpitations and yet I started on silver and in one day the infection was gone, I kept using it for 4 more days. When I returned home I went to the dentist, no infection and never had Problem with that tooth again. Antibiotics can be very damaging and sometimes can kill people, I personally prefer silver and use antibiotics only if silver does not work. You apparently are not interested in natural or even functional medicine and very much old school.

This is the best interview I've heard on pre and post workout nutrition - thank you!
