Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about the impact of retroviruses in chronic illness and several recent clinical pearls from Sophia Health Institute. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt. I shared Dietrich Klinghardt MD's professional bio in episode #15, and for this introduction, I am going to be less formal and speak from personal experience. I met Dr. Klinghardt in January 2006 shortly after my own Lyme diagnosis in July 2005. I was in the front row of his conference probably asking more questions than he would have liked, but it was the start of my journey with his work, and I was beyond excited and hopeful. I then became a patient and worked with him for several years and was able to regain my health through the implementation of not only his treatment protocols, but his healing framework. To this day, no other person has impacted my understanding of health and wellness as much as Dr. Klinghardt, and I will be forever grateful. Key Takeaways: What conditions may have a retroviral component? Are retroviruses the deeper core issue? How are retroviruses encountered? What tests can be done to eplore retroviruses? What is the connection between retroviruses and the cell-danger response? What role do EMRs, glyphosate, and aluminum play in the activation of retroviruses? What are some of the key retrovirus treatment options? What is the connection between EMF and mold illness from water-damaged buildings? What role might breast implants play in impacting recovery? What are the latest perspectives on rope worms? How commonly do stem cells result in sigificant improvement? Do DMPS, DMSA, and EDTA still play a role in patient recovery?

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about the use of Advanced Cell Training to educate the body on how to properly respond to microbes, environmental toxins, and allergies. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Gary Blier. Gary Blier struggled for years with his own chronic illness, Ankylosing Spondylitis. His search for answers took him from the realm of conventional medicine to exploring things he would never have previously imagined. Ultimately, Gary created Advanced Cell Training or ACT which trains the body to heal itself on all levels – physical, mental, and emotional. ACT teaches its users how to tap into our body’s innate healing ability by identifying misbehaviors that bring about ill health. It works to reset the body’s biological response to pathogens, mold, allergens, toxins, stress, and trauma. Gary freed himself from his own crippling illness which had him nearly confined to a wheelchair. He has continued to develop ACT since its inception almost 20 years ago. During that time, Gary has worked with thousands of people to free themselves from pain, anxiety, and chronic illness and find peace within their own body. Key Takeaways: How did ACT emerge from Gary's own health challenges with Ankylosing Spondylitis? What is the fundamental premise of ACT? Can the body both underreact and overreact to a microbial invader? Are particular Lyme-related organisms more difficult to address than others? What is the experience of going through ACT? How is ACT like creating an internal rife machine? Is there a role for ACT in mold illness? What is the connection between pathogens and EMF-sensitivity? How are biofilms addressed through the use of ACT? Does Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and histamine intolerance improve with training? Can ACT be helpful in those dealing with SIBO or Morgellons? What is the role of emotional traumas and conflicts in chronic illness?

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about intestinal hyperpermeability, applications of RESTORE, hydration, and detoxification. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Zach Bush. Zach Bush, MD is one of the few triple board-certified physicians in the country - with expertise in Internal Medicine, Endocrinology and Metabolism, and Hospice/Palliative care. The breakthrough science that Dr. Bush and his colleagues have delivered offers profound new insights into human health and longevity. In 2012 he discovered a family of carbon-based redox molecules made by bacteria. He and his team subsequently demonstrated that this cellular communication network functions to compensate for glyphosate, and many other dietary, chemical, and pharmaceutical toxins that disrupt our body's natural defense systems. This science has resulted in a revolutionary class of dietary supplements, including the product, RESTORE. Dr. Bush points to his kids as the driving force behind his passion for change. He is fiercely motivated by a desire to have them experience a much brighter and healthier future. His education efforts provide a grassroots foundation from which we can launch change in our legislative decisions, ultimately up-shifting consumer behavior to bring about radical change in the mega industries of big farming, big pharma, and Western Medicine at large. Key Takeaways: What is the role of intestinal hyperpermeability or leaky gut in chronic health conditions? What is RESTORE? How does RESTORE create a communication network within the body? Does RESTORE have benefits beyond the GI tract? What are some of the ways RESTORE can be used? What is the intent of the nasal version of RESTORE? Why is hydration so important, and how does hydration support detoxification? How is hydration connected to electrical charge? Can RESTORE help to optimzie our mitochondria? In Lyme disease, do we need to kill the microbes to improve our health? Are there any pathogens we really need to eliminate from the body?

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about some of the common misconceptions about minerals including magnesium, calcium, copper, and iron. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Morley Robbins. Morley Robbins (aka. “Magnesium Man”) is the founder of the Magnesium Advocacy Group, and the creator of The Root Cause Protocol. Morley had been a hospital executive and consultant for 32 years when, several years ago, he developed a condition called “frozen shoulder.” His family doctor quickly recommended surgery as the only hope for Morley if he wanted to be able to lift his right hand above his waist ever again. Friends who owned a health food store intervened and encouraged Morley to try chiropractic care. His initial response: “Thanks guys, but I don’t do witchcraft.” Several months later, the pain was wearing on him, and his friends insisted. It only took a couple weeks of “light touch chiropractic care” (Network Spinal Analysis) before his shoulder had full range of motion once again. The experience was so life-changing for Morley, he questioned everything he knew — or thought he knew — about healing. He then left the world of hospital administration and became a Wellness Coach. Today, Morley views it as his life’s work to push back the tides of nutritional insanity in the day-to-day lives of inhabitants of Planet Earth! Key Takeaways: How important is magnesium in the body and how likely are we to be deficient in this key mineral? What lab testing is ideal for exploring mineral status? What form of magnesium is best? Why might taking calcium and vitamin D not be the ideal solution for osteopenia and osteoporosis? Is it more likely that people are copper toxic or copper deficient? What is ceruloplasmin and why is it important? Does iron-associated anemia exist? Is supplementing with iron based on "dipstick" blood testing an ideal approach? Does iron play a role in chronic infections? Do trace minerals matter? What is The Root Cause Protocol? What should we consider stopping and starting to optimize bioavailable copper?
