Healthy by Nature Show 2008 thru 2012

December 29th , 2012 -Patient advocate and author, Julia Schopick, discusses her book, Honest Medicine. In it she writes about effective, safe and low cost remedies for auto-immune diseases such as Lupus, MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Chron's as well as for other serious conditions such as liver disease, epilepsy and non-healing wounds. Sadly, these remedies are ignored by conventional medicine. There is more info on her website and in this video.

December 22nd , 2012 -Nutrition expert and author, Bill Sardi, focused on Macular Degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in persons over age 55. Resveratrol and other red wine molecules have been credited with many amazing whole body health benefits, but as far as I know, only the product Longevinex has reversed Macular Degeneration (usually considered incurable). We also discussed a huge controversy generated after network TV covered that Longevinex news. Bill Sardi formulated Longevinex with the exact safe dose of high quality resveratrol and other balancing nutrients. (FYI Longevinex is offering some very motivating year-end deals on quantities. NO, I'm not on commission for that or any product I mentioned in this newsletter. I just happen to love Longevinex.)

December 15th , 2012 -Dr. Kyl Smith, author and one of our favorite guests, talks about the connection between stress and testosterone. (That hormone is important to women as well as men) He explains how supplementing Phosphatidyl Serine can help right imbalances. His terrific book on brain health is Brighter Mind.

December 8th , 2012 - Canadian naturopathic consultant, Dr. Daniel J. Crisafi PhD, MH, joined us to discuss timely topics: influenza, vaccines and building our immune response naturally. In the second half, our special guest interviewer was our producer and periodic co-host, Andy Hopkins. He talked about holiday digestive issues with Certified Clinical Nutritionist and author...wait for it...wait for it...Martie Whittekin.

December 1st , 2012 - Dr. Darcy Brunk tells us what his patients do to look younger. In the second half my guest Jarrow Rogovin, the founder of Jarrow Formulas, is also a fearless fighter for fairness and health freedom. He wants to talk about government regulation. He did NOT pull punches.

November 24th , 2012 - Jonathan Wright, MD one of my heroes, is a legend in nutritional and alternative medicine circles. He has been teaching doctors and innovating for decades. We discussed the use of blood thinners and his book Maximize Your Vitality & Potency?for men over 40

November 17th , 2012 - Dr. Parris Kidd and I picked up where we left off last time talking about the balancing act between calcium and magnesium. Right at the end our discussion about bone health, I said I'd repeat the name of the form of calcium supplied in Doctor's Best Calcium Bone Maker Complex--microcrystalline hydroxyapatite. It is a freeze-dried bone meal from New Zealand and is the exact form from which our bones are made. The complex also provides many other nutrients required to make bone including the most generous amount of vitamin D I've seen in any bone product (1,800 IU). It also contains vitamin K, which helps get calcium into the bones and keeps it from building up in arteries. We talked about Best Brain Magnesium and High Absorption Chelated Magnesium. As you may know by now, I'm a big fan of magnesium and these are two great sources. In Andy's segment he talked about diabetes with nutritionist Muna Abu Awad from the Natural Grocers in Richardson.

November 10th , 2012 - Nutritionist Rob Martin joined us to talk about energy, leanness, skin texture, libido, low testosterone and combating high stress hormones. His answer is a product I like and use, Twist25 DHEA cream. Also Mary Ellen Dorey discussed how aromatherapy can put us in a romantic mood or even help us heal. She has unique gift baskets for the weekend warrior, a romantic interest, someone who needs pampering or someone who needs to get well. Check out her great ideas for many people on your gift list.

October 27th , 2012 - We talked with US Congressman / Dentist Paul Gosar of AZ about government's role in solving our health care crisis.  Dr. Thomas Lenahan of Cornerstone Wellness in Plano explained the tool he uses for relieving everything from Arthritis, Bursitis and Sciatica to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, TMJ and Golf-Related Pain. (Turned out his magic tool is an Avazzia micro-current pain device.) I also asked him about Restless Leg Syndrome.

November 3rd , 2012 - I asked Gus Kotsanis, MD to explain if chemotherapy actually cures cancer and which cancers actually respond positively to chemo. We also talk about the role of natural treatments. He answered a question about thyroid. At the end, Andy and I had fun brainstorming about what to do with leftover Halloween Candy

October 20th , 2012 - Barry Estabrook from Politics of the Plate guest stars. He is the author of Tomatoland. This is an important show but, it was a holiday weekend last fall when it originally aired. So, I'm afraid too many listeners missed it. I enjoyed listening to it again. it is October I asked him about the use of thermography as compared to mammography and about hyperbaric oxygen for head trauma.

October 13th , 2012 - Alfred Johnson, DO was in the studio. Because it is October I asked him about the use of thermography as compared to mammography and about hyperbaric oxygen for head trauma.

October 6th , 2012 - The legendary Nicholas Gonzalez, MD has been investigating nutritional approaches to cancer and other degenerative diseases since 1981, and has been in practice in New York since 1987. His team uses individualized aggressive nutritional protocols to work with many types of cancer, and with other illnesses such as allergies, autoimmune disorders and chronic fatigue. We discussed his highly regarded book, What Went Wrong: The Truth Behind the Clinical Trial of the Enzyme Treatment of Cancer. His other book is One Man Alone: An Investigation of Nutrition, Cancer, and William Donald Kelley.

September 29th , 2012 - Dr. Brian Nimphius explained why he is so excited about a micro-current device, Avazzia, that he uses it for nearly every patient. Dr. Nimphius is not only a well-respected chiropractor but also a fellow radio host (LINK). The book Judy Gray, MS discussed (with a forward by one of my heroes, Doris Rapp, MD) was Kids Need Care-- Nutritional, Natural Remedies, and Life-Guidance. Her company (North American Herb and Spice) goes to unbelievable lengths to harvest the best oregano from which to make their famous oregano oil. Oregano may be best known for helping to eliminate yeast overgrowth (even for chronic sinus trouble), but it is also a great pain reliever, is antiseptic and anti-inflammatory.

September 22nd , 2012 - This was one of those shows I lover wherein a famous doctor just answers your questions. Dr. Constantine Kotsanis discussed How Oxygen and pH Affect Your Health and Athletic Performance, but also listeners called in on other topics.

September 15th , 2012 - Mary Ellen Dorey discussed using aromatherapy to help with the effects of weather transitions, detoxification and the immune system. Dr. Andrew Shepherd covered back-to-school, e.g. scoliosis / heavy backpacks; the importance of proper bicycle helmets; school-related immune challenges as well as stress and time management for parents.

September 8th , 2012 - LINK to Archive. Warning. There are a few minutes of no program at the beginning of this archive. That's because of a technical difficulty when we did the broadcast live from the Gluten and Allergen Free Expo in Dallas. We interviewed several exhibitors and Karen Falbo from Natural Grocers who had great ideas on avoiding gluten. My co-host for the day was Certified Nutritionist and Health Coach, Betty Murray.

September 1st , 2012 - A food ingredient that you most likely eat every day might be causing you big trouble. And that trouble could be more than symptoms you might suspect such as heartburn, gas, or irritable bowel. Surprisingly, this food can also cause fatigue, headaches, joint pain, weight gain, osteoporosis, infertility, lupus, skin problems and much more. Dr. Tom O'Bryan talks about gluten, the cause of 55 diseases, testing and the solution. My special co-host for the day is Certified Nutritionist and Health Coach, Betty Murray.

August 25th , 2012 - LINK to Archive. Dr. Parris Kidd talked about a special form of magnesium to improve brain cell communication. It is quite interesting! Also, Dr. Nancy Appleton returned to talk about her new book, Killer Colas.

August 18th , 2012 -LINK to Archive. EGAD! Of all times for this to happen, the North Texas KWRD transmitter went down and no one could hear this special show on 100.7FM. You can listen to the archive and hopefully we'll announce this week a rebroadcast time. Kat James, the award-winning author of "The Truth about Beauty" and renowned "beauty from within" transformation expert talked what our brains and gut have to do with how we look. I also followed up on our June 23 interview on how she helps her clients quickly deal with food sensitivities. Then Howard Garrett, The Dirt Doctor, discussed the pros and cons of cities spraying pesticides to control the mosquitoes that carry West Nile Virus. (LINK) This show marks 15 years on the air! Producers Andy Hopkins and Darlene Brents came into the studio to help me celebrate.
