Thousands of years ago, Chinese medical doctors looked at earthworms. Seeing them burrow through the earth, they hypothesized they might do the same in the human body. Today, a potent earthworm extract does just that. Lumbrokinase helps bloating, chronic lyme, blood pressure, and blood flow to organs. Lucas and Brion also discuss Corona/Covid-19. The beer virus can be conquered with the right supplements. But the bigger threat is the supply chain disruption to society.
