Stephanie Seneff: Glyphosate & Deuterium Synergy

Stephanie Seneff, PhD, is a world-leading expert on the herbicide glyphosate and it’s host of detrimental effects on plants, animals and microbes. Her publications and book, “Toxic Legacy” have laid the foundation for understanding the implications of widespread use of this weed-killer, particularly as it pertains to developmental disorders and metabolic disorders. She has also contributed greatly in the fields of sulphur metabolism, statin drug side-effects, heavy metal toxicity and more.-Stephanie was the first guest I had on the podcast back in 2021, so it’s a real pleasure to be able to speak with her again and expand on what she’s been working on. In this conversation, we centre our discussion around deuterium; a heavy isotope of hydrogen. Having recently spoken with Gábor Somlyai, PhD, who is the father of deuterium science in biology, this conversation follows very naturally. I sincerely appreciate Stephanie’s work as she has put her reputation on the line many times to pursue interesting and fruitful ideas that often clash with mainstream dogma. I think many of her ideas will be proven eventually as they all follow an elegant logic.- Follow Stephanie's WorkPeer Reviewed PublicationsToxic Legacy Book- Follow My WorkWebsiteConsultationInstagramYoutubeSpotifyApple PodcastsLinkedin

Sally K. Norton: Oxalates & Toxic Superfoods

Sally Norton is an educator, speaker and health consultant who specialises in the impact of oxalates in the human diet. Sally has a bachelor’s degree in nutritional science from Cornell University and her master's degree in public health from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Sally’s own health journey lead her to the realisation that many foods that are considered to be among the healthiest, actually contain a metabolic toxin that even in modest amounts can cause illness and disease.-Oxalates are compounds made by plants for various purposes including calcium homeostasis, structural integrity and to ward off insects. This seemingly innocuous compound bind with minerals, particularly calcium and creates oxalate crystals, known to most as kidney stones. Oxalates inhibit energy metabolism and impede normal cellular functioning when consumed in amounts that exceed the body’s capacity to detoxify it. Unfortunately in today’s diet culture world of spinach, sweet potato, kale, chard, cacao and raspberries, many people who think they are doing the best thing for their health are slowly but surely poisoning themselves with oxalates.-Sally's Book: "Toxic Superfoods"Sally's Website-Follow My WorkWebsiteConsultationInstagramYoutubeSpotifyApple PodcastsLinkedin

Clark Engelbert: Mineral Balancing, Heavy Metals & HTMA

Clark is a health practitioner with a particular focus on mineral balancing, or ionomics. He is particularly interested in the use of hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) in identifying mineral imbalances and using the synergistic and antagonistic relationships of minerals to restore metabolic balance. The use of HTMA over blood analysis gives some salient advantages in some respects; hair is a tissue sample and can be used to gain a deeper insight into the longer-term status of an individual and their metabolic function. -While it has its limitations, HTMA, when interpreted correctly can be extremely helpful in identifying imbalances in the mineral system and establishing protocols to rebalance that system.Clark currently runs Nutritional Analytics where he works with patients from all over the world and helps them deal with heavy metal toxicity and mineral imbalances that are extremely common today. His philosophy is embedded in the teachings and wisdom of soil scientist William Albrecht and physician Paul Eck, who paved the way for our current understanding of mineral interactions in biological systems.-Nutritional Analytics: Mineral Balancing ProgramClark's Instagram-Follow My WorkWebsiteConsultationInstagramYoutubeSpotifyApple PodcastsLinkedin

Mike Mew: Orthotropics & Facial Development

Dr. Mike Mew, BDS, MSc (Orth) is a lecturer and lead clinician at the London School of Facial Orthotropics. His primary interest is in the growth and development of the face, identifying the effects of changes in posture, function and muscle tone and its relationship to orthodontic problems. Mike uses the orthotropics system to reverse the underlying conditions that lead to crooked teeth, sleep apnea, snoring and TMD, amongst a range of other symptoms. He is undertaking research to investigate how to improve these systems, using modern technology and innovative applications.-Unlike conventional orthodontics, where the teeth are mechanically shifted to fit the shape of the face, orthotropics encourages and facilitates proper facial development and posture to ensure the teeth have enough space so to prevent malocclusion. The importance of environmental factors are clearly being ignored and could greatly assist orthodontic therapy and general health. Dr. Mew aims to change a section of modern medicine by making it evidence based and focused on the long-term health of patients.-His ideas are generally as follows; crooked teeth essentially do not appear in human skulls until very recently, therefore, malocclusion cannot be based in any real sense on genetics. Environmental factors including poor air quality, soft foods, bottle feeding, allergy causing chronic mouth breathing, poor posture and improper swallowing have led to craniofacial dystrophy; improper growth of the face, resulting in crooked teeth and narrowed airways. By shifting these environmental inputs, proper facial development can be promoted, allowing space for the teeth to grow unimpeded.-Support Mike Here:Orthotropics Youtube ChannelPreventcrookedteeth.comOrthotropics.comMike's Patreon-Follow My Work:WebsiteConsultationInstagramYoutubeSpotifyApple PodcastsLinkedin
