Answers Instead of Prescriptions

This episode is a candid conversation between Dr Maulfair and a patient (JM), talking about the difference between standard medical philosophy and alternative medicine.

This young woman had so many chronic issues, while raising three children, that her primary care physician didn’t even have time for her. Not to mention, because all her tests were coming back “normal” — he had not a clue what to even do for her. He alluded that many of her symptoms were in her head, and that she should “just go for physical therapy and take a multivitamin.” She knew in her gut, that wasn’t going to get to the root causes of her symptoms. That’s why she came to Dr Maulfair.

Next time you have blood taken you’ll have a better understanding of what everything means. Last episode Dr Maulfair talked about the CBC test. He continues on this episode explaining all you need to know about sodium, potassium, and chloride levels. How much salt is too much? How much salt is not enough?

Next time you have blood taken for a CBC (complete blood count) test and get the results you’ll be able to understand what you’re looking at. Dr Maulfair talks about hemoglobin, red blood cells, white blood cells, their functions, what the ideal numbers are, and more.

If you have any type of arthritis you need to have your intestinal tract evaluated — PROPERLY. And that’s NOT with scopes and tubes.

The pharmaceutical industry is a multi-billion dollar industry. It’s not going anywhere. Most doctors will continue to prescribe drugs — even when there are alternatives.You, however, can restore your health and reduce your exposure to these drugs by learning how your body works.

Despite the fact that millions of people are eating low-fat diets and are on cholesterol-lowering drugs, more Americans than ever before will die this year of heart disease.There are 327 million Americans. 75 million have heart disease. 20 million have diabetes. 57 million have prediabetes. Inflammation causes heart disease, NOT cholesterol.Hear the truth about cholesterol. Also learn about omega 3s and omega 6s.

Vitamin D deficiency contributes to so many diseases.There are many, many reasons you need to make sure you are getting enough Vitamin D.

That is correct. Every medication has side effects. And just because you take an over-the-counter medication doesn’t mean it doesn’t have side effects. EVERY medication has side effects! EVERY medication is TOXIC.Are you healthier because you no longer have symptoms of disease? No, you’re not. On this episode Dr Maulfair talks more about some of the basic differences between our medical philosophy and the philosophy of most other healthcare practitioners.

Inflammation is the basic factor to all chronic degenerative diseases. Dr Maulfair talks about that. But he also explains why not all inflammation is bad.”We should live old and die healthy.”

Is there a connection between heart disease and antibiotics? If you’re prescribed certain antibiotics and you already have a cardiovascular problem, you may want to reconsider. Fluoroquinolones are antibiotics that are commonly used to treat a variety of illnesses such as respiratory and urinary tract infections. These medicines include ciprofloxacin (Cipro), gemifloxacin (Factive), levofloxacin (Levaquin), moxifloxacin (Avelox), norfloxacin (Noroxin), and ofloxacin (Floxin). Some of these have been shown to cause damage to muscles, joints, tendons, and the central nervous system.

Contrary to what most people think, you are NOT necessarily doomed to a certain disease just because it runs in your family. You may have a genetic predisposition, but that by itself does NOT mean it’s inevitable that you’ll also get cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, high-blood pressure, etc. The gene need to be activated or “turned on.” So what turns them on? Listen to find out.Become aware of what you eat, drink, breathe, and think.

The causes of many chronic diseases, including Alzheimer’s, may NOT be what most people think.

Just because marijuana is being legalized in more places doesn’t mean it’s best for your health.

A recent study was published showing the mortality rate of children in 19 wealthy western countries. Guess who finished last? The United States had the highest numbers. The United States spends more money on health care than any other country in the world. Yet, the mortality rate for children in the US has been higher than peer nations for the last 40 years. American children receive more vaccines than any other children on the planet. Those are facts. You connect the dots.

Diabetes is on the rise, so is gangrene, and and so are lower extremity amputations. Why is this?Elevated blood sugar is NOT diabetes. Diabetes is the disease — and AS A RESULT of the disease — the blood sugar elevates. Insulin resistance is a contributing factor. What can you do about this besides taking medications that are leading to more amputations?There ARE other things you can do besides taking a drug to lower your blood sugar. Again, elevated blood sugar is NOT diabetes — it is a SYMPTOM of diabetes. If you’re just treating the symptom and not the problem, don’t be surprised if you don’t get the results you would like. You CAN live a higher quality of life. Just get educated. If you're not in Pennsylvania, but are looking to find a doctor like Dr Maulfair, you can search for one in your area with The International College of Integrative Medicine.

If this wasn’t the truth and it wasn’t so serious, it would actually be humorous. Unfortunately, it IS the the truth, and it’s one more example of the sad state of affairs for the modern “health care” system and the way most doctors practice medicine.Chemical gastritis in this person’s stomach was CAUSED by medications that are supposed to reduce inflammation. Does that make any sense to you?Dr Maulfair also talks about how important the health of your intestinal tract is to your overall health. You may be shocked to hear this!

Hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid gland, is a common endocrine problem. Dr Maulfair talks about dessicated thyroid hormone and the synthetic man-made pharmaceutical Levothyroxine. Which should you take? Listen and decide.

Ep 133 - Macular Degeneration and Chelation Therapy by Dr Maulfair

Before I went to see Dr. Maulfair, I had been feeling sick for about 5 months like I've never been sick before. I went to my mainstream medicine doctors with symptoms of fatigue, extreme dizziness, nausea, digestive issues, cloudy thinking and a very bad rash with extreme itching on my eyes, scalp and forehead. I knew I had some type of allergy. At first my dermatologist thought I had a gluten intolerance and put me on a gluten-free diet which did not help at all. In September 2019, I went to the Allentown Fair and couldn't be sure what was gluten-free, so I said to my husband "I'll have some cotton candy, that has no gluten." After eating the cotton candy, the rash got worse and I began to itch over my head, face and neck. Then a light bulb went off. It was sugar! Now I began to do my own research and came to the conclusion that I had an overgrowth of yeast in my intestines. I put myself on "The Candida Diet" (found on the Internet) immediately. I began losing weight quite quickly. My six-month check with my primary care doctor was due so I told him what came up with. He did not say much and looked down, told me to follow-up with the dermatologist. After I told the dermatologist what I suspected and the fact that the gluten-free diet was not working, he told me it looked like I had a chemical allergy. I asked him "What about my other symptoms?". He said he did not know. He asked if I was using something new. I could not think of anything and told him no. I later realized that he was right about at least the chemical allergy. Besides the recent symptoms I was having, for many years I had digestive issues each time I ate, including gas, bloating and at times severe diarrhea. I went to my gastroenterologist and he came up with nothing more than giving me a C-Diff test. I knew I couldn't have that, because I had it after my C-section and they hospitalized me for 2 weeks on an IV. So again, I was left on my own to try whatever might work. I stopped eating wheat products and took a Glucomannan fiber supplement which helped for a while. I remained on the "Candida Diet", lost about 15 pounds and realized that some of the supplements I was taking were natural antifungals, causing die-off symptoms of the yeast and making me quite sick. In desperation, I left a message for my doctor requesting Nystatin or some prescription medication because I was not getting anywhere doing this myself. It was becoming difficult getting to work everyday and performing well at my job. His wife called me back stated the doctor would not give me Nystatin, "How do you know you have this?" At that point, I knew I had to look for an alternative doctor who recognizes this issue. I believe it was divine guidance that led me to Dr. Maulfair in November 2018 who agreed with my findings and knew just how to treat it. After 3 rounds of prescription antifungals, a vitamin and supplement regimen at home, of course "Dr. Maulfair's Candida Diet" and several months of oxidation, nutrient and glutathione infusions I was feeling so much better, but still itched and had a rash. Dr. Maulfair was so right about so many things. The idea that every part of your health is in your gut —your immune system, allergies, even your mood! That fact that your brain is connected to your gut is so true. I am living proof. With Dr. Maulfair's treatment I was able to discontinue antidepressants that I had been taking for 45 years and failed each time I tried to stop, due to withdrawal symptoms that made me so sick I could not function. This alone is a miracle! I am off all medications except for a mild blood pressure pill. I feel tremendous after all of this. I told Dr. Maulfair at my last visit that I feel like "I can fly". My daughter is having a big wedding in June and I am so grateful to have renewed my health just in time for her big day.

Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that fights oxidative stress and helps defend the body from chronic diseases, such as heart disease and cancer. We don’t need much, but what do need is very important.

Things Dr Maulfair discusses on this episode: Infectious diseases Treatments and symptoms PSA test is a blood test used primarily to screen for prostate cancer. The test measures the amount of prostate-specific antigen in your blood.

Anyone concerned with the safety of vaccines needs to hear this. The federal government has been neglecting safety obligations for decades. This has been proven in a court of law bringing RFK Jr and ICAN to victory over DHHS. Robert F. Kennedy Jr teamed up with the Informed Consent Action Network to take on the Department of Health and Human Services for vaccine safety violations and they have won. Their lawsuit has brought forth evidence that vaccine safety has been neglected for over 30 years.

What to ask for If you have cataract surgery How much of a certain vitamin or nutrient do you need Although antioxidants are generally good for you, you can overdo them Dr Maulfair discusses how pharmaceuticals (medications) can be helpful and how he prescribes them when indicated — but NOT as the standard go-to

The occurence of macular degeneration is drastically increasing. In fact, the number of cases are expected to triple — affecting up to 75 million people throughout the world — within the next 30 years. Macular degeneration can signal an imbalance of thyroid hormones. Drusen are small yellow or white spots that can build up in the eye causing macular degeneration. Many things contribute to this including blue light, LEDs, fluorescent lights, computers, cell phones, and more.The good news is something can be done. Dr Maulfair has had success treating macular degeneration. This is through a specific chelation therapy along with an infusion protocol designed to decrease the progress of macular degeneration and to reduce the chances of it occurring in the first place.

According to a study from US News and World Report back in 2003, heart disease was supposed to be eradicated by now.It doesn’t matter whether you have coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease, carotid artery disease, or any other type of vascular disease. The treatment might be different, but the disease process is the same.Dr Maulfair discusses the findings of a study from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on chelation therapy and how it has been found to be very effective in reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. This is especially true with patients that have already had a heart attack or already have diabetes.

Information on the drug Metformin which is commonly prescribed to lower blood glucose levels and alter the way the body handles insulin. Dr Maulfair discusses this, along with the connection to peripheral neuropathy, diabetes, vitamin b12, and more.

On the last episode, we talked about some of the numerous side effects from benzodiazepines. In this follow-up episode Dr Maulfair talks about how If you are taking them and wish to get off of them, it is CRUCIAL and ESSENTIAL that you slowly taper yourself off for safety. In fact, it should take 6 months to a year to wean yourself off of these drugs. And DO NOT do it on your own. Do it with a doctor that has experience with this.

Dr Maulfair starts by talking about a study that has shown deaths from drug overdoses increased by over 50% in the last 8 years.He reminds us of the standard medical philosophy of using a pharmaceutical to relieve a symptom of a problem, rather than addressing the problem. Remember though — you CAN NOT restore health by suppressing the symptom of disease, or “lost health.” You must address the CAUSE of the symptoms therapeutically — and NOW you’re talking about REAL health restoration!He goes on to talk about the dangers of benzodiazepines, sometimes called "benzos", and often referred to as “bennies.” The two most well-known drugs prescribed to assist people sleep and deal with anxiety are Valium® and Xanax®. Why are these drugs so over-prescribed and causing so many health issues — even death? Well, as the author of this one study says, ”It’s easier to get medication paid for, than to get counseling paid for.”

Last week Dr Maulfair talked about the signs and symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency. On this episode you’ll hear even more about Vitamin D, including how important it is in order for you to be healthy. Some of the things he talks about are: The emerging sperm count crisis Vitamin D is an incredibly powerful antiviral Low levels of vitamin are associated with the development of MS (Multiple Sclerosis) Something as simple as enough vitamin D can make all the difference in restoring fertility A recent study showed children who take Vitamin D were 58% less likely to catch the flu Antiviral drugs such as Tamiflu and RELENZA only reduced infection rates of influenza A by 8%

Dr Maulfair talks about the signs and symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency including: Hair Loss Bone Loss Depression Muscle Pain Bone and Back Pain Fatigue and Tiredness Impaired Wound Healing Getting Sick or Infected Often Other key takeaways include: Standard medical philosophy has you believing “you take this for that” Why we don’t prescribe nutrients or drugs based on a symptom alone Why the body that you’re living in is the BEST physician you’ll ever find

Have you been to other doctors that barely look at your during your appointment? Have you noticed most of them spend more time looking at their computer screens and typing? You’re not alone. Recent studies have found that doctors spend an average of 43% of their time on data entry and just 28% directly caring for patients. Have they asked you if you have a fire extinguisher in your house?! While that’s good to have, what does that have to do with your health? Not much of standard medicine seems to make sense these days, so why should the questions they ask you and the information they’re collecting? The entire patient-physician encounter being largely computerized does NOT replace the mind, the soul, and the caring of a live doctor! Do you agree?

Manganese is a mineral that is found in several foods including nuts, legumes, seeds, tea, whole grains, and leafy green vegetables. However, excess manganese is a neurotoxin and detrimental to one’s health. Dr Maulfair talks more about toxic metals and chelation therapy, along with chelation for children. Anyone that has or knows children diagnosed with ADD or ADHD you need to listen to this episode. Dr Maulfair also reminds everyone how, unlike the standard medical approach, he doesn’t handle a problem by treating the symptoms of that problem.

It is through your digestive system that your body absorbs everything NEEDED to live — proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, trace ​elements, electrolytes, even water — everything except for oxygen! Unfortunately, it also absorbs toxic substances — including insecticides, pesticides, herbicides, toxic metals, etc. The intestinal tract is of VITAL importance. If it’s not healthy, YOU are not healthy, and disease sets in. A comprehensive chelation program is designed to remove toxic metals. However, taking an oral chelating agent is NOT the same. Getting an intravenous (IV) chelation treatment by itself is also NOT the same. Essential minerals MUST be replaced properly. If you decide you want to pursue a chelating program, you MUST make sure it is with someone that understands the complex and comprehensive nature of chelation.

​The current standard of medical care in the United States is NOT a healthcare system, it's a disease care system. It's NOT health insurance, it's disease insurance​ Don’t believe that? Go to the doctor when you feel fine and aren’t experiencing any symptoms. See how they act and what they say. A symptom is NOT a disease, it's a symptom of a disease. At the Maulfair Medical Center, we practice the old paradigm of restoring health. We concentrate on things that restore health, as opposed to things that suppress a symptom of lost health. If you have health, you don't have disease. And if you don't have disease, you don't have symptoms. That’s very simple, very basic. And the best part is — it’s doable!

Dr Maulfair talks about: Standard medicine tests your blood for heavy metals, however, that only measures a recent exposure. It does NOT tell you about the long-term, gradual exposures to toxins. That is what contributes to chronic degenerative diseases, especially cardiovascular disease. Cholesterol is NOT bad. Cholesterol is essential for life. Cholesterol does NOT contribute to disease, UNLESS its structure is altered by oxidation. Glutathione?— what it is, where it comes from, and what it does. Identifying toxic metals in you PROPERLY, not by a standard blood test most doctors use, is ESSENTIAL for health. More on heavy metal poisoning will be discussed over the next few weeks in future episodes.

Don’t just take our word for it. Listen to what this wise patient of ours has to say. She must be doing something right. What is it? You tell us.

This patient was wise enough NOT to buy into the standard medical philosophy of suppressing the side effects of “drug 1” with “drug 2” and so on and so on. Instead, she came to Dr Maulfair, and together they addressed the root causes of her health issues. She is 82 years young and healthy, enjoying her family, and living a good life. That’s TRUE quality of life.

On this Thanksgiving Day 2018, we share this story from one of our patients who gives thanks to Dr Maulfair for giving him as he says, “a new lease on life.” He went from having significant blockages and expecting to need a few stents, to essentially NO blockage at all. After a recent test, his cardiologist told him and his wife that now “he is all clear.” His wife assumed they got the wrong guy. Good news for him — they got the right guy, and indeed it was true. He no longer has coronary artery disease. His cardiologist realized this must be due to the chelation therapy program he follows.How many countless people give thanks for their health? And how many others would give anything to have health once again? It is possible. We’re here for you. Happy Thanksgiving.
