In bygone times, there were traveling healers called "quack doctors" who would peddle potions and curealls from town to town. Quacks were looked down upon for...well...poisoning lots people with mercury.
But also for being empirical above any rational explanations, like humors and blood letting. So when they weren't using mercury, these traveling quacks discovered bottom up health solutions through trial and error. This podcast is about finding health solutions in the strangest places, even if they don't make sense

Ep. 97 A Conversation with Stacy Faulkner: The MTHFR Defect and is The Baby Aspirin Story Pure Evil?
Hey Everyone,
This week I had a conversation with a long time friend about the MTHFR defect
MTHFR is a genetic defect that may be behind depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and a host of other conditions ranging from digestion to fatty liver.
We also touch on the recent Aspirin story and whether the timing of those releases was coincidence, or pure evil.
