About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Stephen Buhner. Stephen Harrod Buhner is an Earth poet and the award-winning author of twenty books on nature, indigenous cultures, the environment, and herbal medicine. He comes from a long line of healers including Leroy Burney, Surgeon General of the United States under Eisenhower and Kennedy, and Elizabeth Lusterheide, a midwife and herbalist who worked in rural Indiana in the early nineteenth century.

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about mold illness, cell danger response, mast cell activation, and much more. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Neil Nathan, MD. Dr. Nathan is a Board-Certified Family Physician and a Founding Diplomate of the American Board of Holistic Medicine. From the time he began medical school at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Medicine, it has always been his passion to try to help as many of patients as possible. He was never satisfied with sending patients home with the cliché: "Sorry, we just don't have any answers for you." In a career of more than 40 years, he has delivered babies, done surgery, and worked in the emergency room but over the years found other disciplines that held the promise of providing more useful answers for those patients that did not respond adequately to conventional care. Over time, he found himself working mostly with patients who had not received a clear diagnosis from conventional medicine and were suffering with persistent and debilitating illnesses. These included Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic Lyme disease with its co-infections, mold illness, Autism, and all varieties of Chronic Pain, amongst others. Dr. Neil Nathan is honored to have been the recipient of the First Annual Rich van Konynenburg Award from the Seeking Health Educational Institute Conference coordinated by Dr. Ben Lynch. Dr. Nathan worked with Dr. Konynenburg in completing research on methylation chemistry in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia which helped to launch the profound increase in interest in this subject on an international level. He is an author with several books available on Amazon.com including "On Hope and Healing: For Those Who Have Fallen Through the Medical Cracks", "Healing Is Possible: New Hope for Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Persistent Pain, and Other Chronic Illnesses" and his latest "Mold & Mycotoxins: Current Evaluation and Treatment 2016" which is a personal favorite. Many of his patients simply cannot take even miniscule doses of herbs, or homeopathic remedies without a profound reaction. While their physicians, who may never have seen such sensitivities, diagnose them as having depression and anxiety, these reactions are not psychogenic, but physical. He continues to develop new strategies and treatments to help these patients recover their health. Key Takeaways: What tests are useful for exploring mold in the environment? How is RealTime Labs urine mycotoxin testing helpful? What is his basic approach to treating the mold patient? What do you treat first - Lyme or mold? What is Cell Danger Response and what research is underway in this area? What is Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, what triggers it, and how is it treated? What is the role of viruses in chronic illness? Should we be looking at SNPs when exploring methylation?

Sandeep Gupta is a holistic medical doctor, nutritional and environmental medicine specialist, ayurvedic consultant and wellness coach. Dr Gupta graduated from medical school at the University of Queensland in 1999. Since then he served in a range of public and private hospitals in the South-East Queensland region, serving as a cardiology, medical and anaesthetic registrar.

His real interest is in helping people to be educated about staying well, learning to keep track of their health goals and monitoring when their health is moving out of balance. Dr Gupta feels his role is to provide information, support and guidance, but the results an individual gets will depend primarily on their actions, and the way they live. This learning process is something we all have to go through. A doctor in the purest sense is a teacher, an educator and an inspiration for others. Dr. Gupta doesn't aim treat "diseases", but rather to help clients to learn to treat their own underlying physical, emotional and spiritual factors to address the causes of disease. Of course, specific treatment protocols can help us to "turn the corner" on our health situation, but an underlying foundation of healthy living is vital for long-term results.
