March 15th, 2014 - This show was a veritable buffet of health information. Our bodies need water more urgently than anything but oxygen. Derek Mellencamp discussed all the toxins that remain in water even after municipal processing and how to get rid of them with the filter my family uses. Holistic dentist, Phillip R. Kozlow and I talked about how what goes on in the mouth can have a profound effect on the rest of the body. This is the link he gave for finding a holistic dentist. LINK. Dr. Joel Speers explained the difference between the common relaxing massage and the more therapeutic medical massage which is typically covered by insurance.

March 8th, 2014 -A favorite guest, Parris Kidd, PhD, discussed a crucially important but often forgotten B-vitamin, folate, which is also known as folic acid. The active form of folate protects us from cell divisions going wrong and a multitude of problems such as those with birth defects, mood, memory and circulation. Apparently, a significant portion of the population has a genetically determined inability to turn the food type of this vitamin (folate) into the required active form, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate.

March 1st, 2014 - Alfred Johnson, DO was in the studio to discuss allergies. Yes, it is that season again (in Dallas, we seem to have a dozen of them a year). He also operates a Hyperbaric Oxygen Center. When I asked how to find a doctor like himself, he suggested the American Academy of Environmental Medicine. At Natural HealthFest (NHF) he will be in booth 511.We also talked with Hugh Woodward about the hormone DHEA and how it, among other effects, offsets the harm from stress hormones. We discussed a study that linked DHEA supplementation to improvement in depression. Here is that LINK. Hugh is giving a talk at 10:00AM at NHF and will be around the rest of the day in booth number 505.

February 22nd, 2014 - Dynamic nutrition expert and educator, Stuart Tomc, from Nordic Naturals discussed the role of fats (good and bad) in heart disease. He demystified some recent research on omega-3 fats and offered this educational resource and a study on omega 3 for headaches. We reviewed a study showing that those with the highest blood levels of omega-3 had an 81% reduced risk of sudden death compared to the group with the lowest levels! I also talked with board-certified cardiologist, Thomas E. Levy, MD the author of Death by Calcium. He offered scientific proof that the US's nearly obsessive intake of dairy products and calcium supplementation is not the best answer to osteoporosis as is so widely believed. Even more shockingly, calcium excess apparently promotes heart disease (plus other chronic degenerative diseases) and significantly shortens life. Note, I'm not worried about a small amount of calcium in a multi-vitamin and caution that his advice does not apply to everyone.

I also ask him about collagen in bones in anticipation of a show the next week on the book, Death by Calcium which we have added to our HBN book store.
