Dr. Norm Shealy. Neurosurgery, Energy Medicine, Nutrition, Hormones and Spirituality (#101)

2020-01-03T01:09:26-06:00

    Today’s show is more outside of “traditional” science than usual, but it is an area where more and more research is being done.  Neurosurgeon Dr. Norm Shealy takes this episode from the beginning of classical methods of treating pain, depression, and diseases to atypical but contemporized methods that include energy medicine, nutrition, hormones and even mysticism! When Dr. Shealy first graduated Duke University School of Medicine, pain management was entirely surgical. If you had back pain you got surgery. However surgery only reduced back pain about 10% of the time. If it failed and you had more pain after the [...]

Back Pain, New Therapies. Dr. Warren J. Bleiweiss, MD (#99)

2019-06-28T14:41:04-05:00

  Some people say no pain no gain but is that true for severe physical pain? Why be in horrific physical pain if healthy natural answers exist to set you free? Surgery options? Many fusions cause downstream pain and dysfunction issues. The fused area looses motion, which, within months or years after surgery, puts increased movement demands on the joints areas above and below to pick up some of the motion slack. Pain? If you develop severe back or leg pain after a back surgery, this often signals a serious long-term hard-to-treat scenario. It is clear that, faster, safer and easier [...]

Death by Regulation with Dr. Mary Ruwart (#98)

2019-06-28T14:41:05-05:00

            Most Americans think that FDA regulations protect them from harm. Sadly, this is rarely, if ever the case. In this episode Dr. Mary Ruwart explains that more FDA regulation has actually caused more expensive drugs and an increase in premature deaths. Our FDA regulation system is set up to keep drugs at higher costs while preventing citizens from learning about safer, natural answers. How did this happen? Dr. Ruwart shares exactly how the 1962 Amendments to the Food & Drug Act, which were supposed to protect us from harm, have done the opposite. You'll learn how the [...]

Love, Your Brain, and Life (#95)

2022-02-14T18:58:21-06:00

    Romantic love—we can’t live with it and we can’t live without it. As humans we are very open both to great love and to great sorrow. We are built for monogamous love as well as for cheating. How we straddle the enormous divide between the drive to mate and the drive for independence varies with each of us, influenced by societal norms and even public health issues, like the hormone-altering-chemicals found in plastics and heavy metals. Is the drive to love so deeply wired that it’s safe from outside toxicities, or might environmental pollution be changing our brains and [...]
