Episode 98 - Mold in HVAC Systems with Cary Cooper
Cary Cooper is a seasoned heating and air conditioning technician. He has worked in a large variety of settings and facilities, including but not limited to: food production, healthcare and hospital, pharmaceutical and biologic production, industrial and manufacturing, commercial office spaces, multi-unit and single-family homes, governmental offices, educational institutions, pharmaceutical research facilities, military and national security research facilities. Cary has additional professional experience in residential construction, remodeling with a focus on building envelope construction, mechanical engineering, and water intrusion prevention. Cary left the industry in 2018 due to his rapid decline in health that was later attributed to co-infections and mold exposure. He returned to the industry after partial healing, but ultimately left again due to the industry’s attitude towards the handling of mold, silica, chemical and toxin exposure, and the resulting impact on employee and occupant health. Cary looks to expose the general disregard and ignorance that plagues the industry and to use his professional experiences to help others.Need help navigating your mold injury without breaking the bank?

Episode 94 - Healing Chronic Degenerative Diseases with Thomas Levy
Thomas Levy, MD, JD is a board-certified cardiologist and a bar-certified attorney. After practicing adult cardiology for 15 years, he began to research the enormous toxicity associated with much dental work, as well as the pronounced ability of properly administered vitamin C to neutralize this toxicity. Recently inducted into the Orthomolecular Medicine Hall of Fame, Dr. Levy continues to research the impact of the orthomolecular application of vitamin C and antioxidants in general on chronic degenerative diseases. His ongoing research involves documenting that all diseases are different forms and degrees of focal scurvy, arising from increased oxidative stress, especially intracellularly and that they all benefit from protocols that optimize the antioxidant levels in the body. He regularly gives lectures on this information at medical conferences around the world. He has now written 13 books including Hidden Epidemic and most recently Rapid Virus Recovery.
