Forbidden Doctor: Revealing Forbidden Health Secrets!

Every once in a while we delight in discovering kindred spirits “in the wild” who have done their own research about health and nutrition and reached the same conclusions about the nature of human nourishing and its connection to our gut health. This week Dr. Jack and Mary interviewed Dr. Paul Baratierro about his remarkable discovery around hydration that has led to an incredible device that helps to align and reset our immune modulation in reaction to external forces like EMF radiation, and even the deleterious effects of poor diet. Tune in to discover a different way to look at hydration, that is in complete alignment with what we understand about nutrition and human thriving.

When we think of diseases like cold or flu, why is it that we don’t get sick from multiple diseases at the same time? If we’re exposed to multiple diseases (like we all are every day) you’d expect people who are already ill to become even sicker, now with say, cold and flu at the same time. This almost never happens. Why not? This week, Dr. Jack and Mary help us to reframe the way we’re asking questions about our current health crisis. We know that correlation does not equal causation, and yet the CDC jumps from answer to answer without any proper research to make sweeping recommendations that affect us all. Tune in to learn why asking the right questions is our only way out of this mess.

It seems every week we learn how one government agency or other was wrong about our current health crisis. And while we’ve all heard about all the plans various entities have to sell you a miracle cure in the coming weeks and months, some of the top thinkers in epidemiology are ready to blow the end-game whistle. How can that be? This week, Dr. Jack and Mary discuss why we may be over the hump on this one. It turns out, herd immunity is not only possible, but there is more and more emerging evidence that we’ve probably reached it! Will the powers that be in our medical establishment admit as much before all the vaccine products roll out? Tune in to understand the science of immunity and why personal responsibility and our health choices will ultimately lead us out of this mess.

The Weston A Price Foundation offers a quarterly journal with simply incredible information on diet and nutrition. Part of the delight of getting this periodical are the letters to the editor. There is nothing better to keep one’s finger on the pulse of American health and wellness, and the bravery and honesty of the questions and responses are amazing. This week, Dr. Jack and Mary talk about some of their favorite forbidden advice from the most recent quarterly issue. Tune in to see what people are asking about, and to understand truly how forbidden some of this knowledge actually is.

140 years ago, doctors and scientists understood that germs and viruses played a secondary role in human health, but somehow over the decades, this knowledge moved to the center of disease theory, where it now reliably distorts our understanding, and our mitigation of viral and bacterial outbreaks. No matter what else changes in the coming years about the medical establishments, we must strive to move the focus beyond the germ. Beyond the virus. For this very special 200th episode, Dr. Jack and Mary take us on a tour de force of the history of the Germ Theory of Disease, from it’s corruption of the original science, to it’s corruption in the hands of profitable disease treatment. The time has never been more important to nourish our forbidden doctors within each of us. The future of human wellness very well depends on it. Tune in to be outraged and educated about this red herring of the medical establishment and learn what can be done about it.

The nature of foreign bodies or parasites in the body is only now starting to be understood by science, but it appears that our own immune systems actually use these “invaders” in surprising and beneficial ways when the body detects that other more harmful toxins are present. Disease, in this context, is a critical, normal process in our bodies. This, in turn, means that everything we understand about viruses and immunity is turned on its head. This week, Dr. Jack and Mary detail the scientific rationale why this germ theory of disease makes no real sense, based on everything we’ve learned in the subsequent century of life science. Tune in to learn why the media feeds our fears and biases, and we, in turn, feed the media, and the cycle goes on and on.

What do you do when you have an international podcast flying in the face of the common wisdom shared by government leadership on our current health crisis? Do you cow-tow to what our government is saying, or do you hold the line when you know you’re right? This week, Dr. Jack takes us through the observations since the start of this pandemic that have proven to be flat wrong, or dangerously misunderstood by the powers that be. What do you do if you’re the Forbidden Doctor, trying to keep consistent messaging? You wait. Time exonerates us every time, as it’s now doing here. Tune in to find out how.

If President Trump is getting bad advice from the health advisors closest to him, what chance do the rest of us have in the face of this ongoing crisis? There is real reason to believe that we need fewer doctors and more statisticians chiming in about where we go from here. This week Dr. Jack reviews why our current global health crisis may be much more of a math problem than a medical problem, and what we should consider, to move forward into the next phase of our response.

How many people would keep hiring someone who was wrong about everything, all the time? Not very many. And yet, we look to our own government leadership again and again and again, always disappointed, sometimes disastrously, when they misidentify, under-react, overreact, and just get it wrong time after time. This week, Dr. Jack takes us through the known facts about our current outbreak, how the tyranny of incompetence is likely to kill more people than the outbreak, and why we at Forbidden Doctor are advising everyone to consider doing the exact opposite of what you are being told. Tune in to find out why this may be the smartest thing you can do.

No matter what you believe about the current global health crisis, one this is clear: co-morbidities are the key to the most serious cases. But why are so many of us already sick when a crisis like this hits? This week Dr. Jack and Mary try to put things in proper perspective, with some good news to counter all the grim news we see every day. The good news is, the world is mostly good news, all the time. The key to healing is hope over fear, and knowledge over disinformation. Tune in to learn why there are numerous reasons to feel great, even now, and how to tap into your body’s own innate healing engine.

This week, we are releasing our monthly, live Forbidden Webinar as our podcast. With everything going on in the world, we were bombarded with questions, but we put together an excellent presentation to share some of the latest science of immune system function, and why nourishing your own body is the key to fighting infections of any kind. Tune is to see why every webinar is growing exponentially from the last and listen to a few direct patient questions that were NOT related to the current pandemic. 

This sickness and these crazy times are all anyone is talking about, but we keep hearing the same things, over and over and over. Enough. There is a lot more to consider here than flattening curves and procuring toilet paper, including the medical establishments reaction so far, government overreach, and a huge amount of disinformation designed to weaken our resolve. This week Dr. Jack’s KTALK radio show is doubling as our podcast because the topics and the dangers related to our current situation are too great to ignore. Tune in to learn more about what we understand about immunity, the real risks to life and liberty, and many other timely topics.

What if our wireless technology is harmful to health? Would we be capable of changing direction in the face of global inertia and dependence on the technology? Why aren’t the powers that be interested in studying true health impacts of EMF radiation on humans? This week Dr. Jack and Mary cover the possible 5G link to this this illness ravaging populations and markets worldwide. One thing is clear: there is no proven evidence that the upcoming 5G cellular technology will be completely benign to human health. It’s time to start asking hard questions. Tune in to learn more about the science of cellular EMF and its potential impact on human wellness.

Sometimes it seems that our knowledge of the day to day clinic interactions we have with health seekers of all shapes and sizes is itself such a great collection of wisdom and health knowledge, that it’s worth preserving for future use. This week, Dr. Jack Stockwell takes us through some of the most commonly asked questions in the clinic, as well as a few questions we’ve received in our monthly webinars, and reveals some of his deep expertise of human nutrition and health. What we end up with is a whirlwind of well-being and nourishment science. Tune in to learn a wide array of health knowledge, from bone science, calciums role in multiple body systems, nutritional recommendations for elite athletes, things to consider during pregnancy, and many more.

What if there were a publicly accessible library of symptom-ology, and deep knowledge of alternative, whole, concentrated, food-based protocols to support your body naturally, as it deals with the maladies of poor nutrition in our western diet? Describing symptoms and protocols for over 600 different issues, the new Forbidden Doctor symptom library has been unlocked for everyone to use! This week Dr. Jack and Mary go into some of the details of how to use this incredible tool for free on the website, as well as diving into some of our most asked-about symptoms at the clinic. In fact, we’ve procured our Top 20 protocols to share with our listeners. Tune in to see how valuable this tool can be.

Here we go again, with a complete media panic over the Coronavirus, spreading around the world as we speak. To be clear, Coronavirus can be very dangerous for immune-compromised people. But the CDC has gone to red alert even while researchers in India are identifying some shocking information about the potential origins of this new viral threat. Here’s the bottom line: it’s time to panic, but not about Coronavirus. It’s time to panic about all of our immune systems. This week Dr. Jack and Mary cover the science of flu virus, the immune response to influenza and other viruses in this family, and how a natural, nourishing approach to your own immunity is the key to this, and any future virus outbreak. Tune in to figure out how best to target your own immune system with some much needed whole food nutrition.

What if the key to our body’s autoimmune responses were inextricably linked with the foods we eat? Wouldn’t that be a critical avenue for modern medical treatment? Why then do doctors continue to treat autoimmune symptoms, such as inflammation, as a problem for drugs to hide? Dr. Jack and Mary are back with a unique episode. Recently sitting down to speak with Dr. Lowell Keppel, the three cover a wide range of topics all connected to the history and science of protomorphogens, one of the most important discoveries of nutrition pioneer Dr. Royal Lee. Tune in to learn how your own body’s immune reactions are closely tied to your metabolism and your diet. It is possible to get a handle on the autoimmune epidemic, but first we need to know the problem for what it is: your body attacking itself.

We strive to educate our listeners on complicated topics. Sometimes the nuance can be lost in translation. We’ve never been anti-vaxxers, so much as pro-vaccine education, which western doctors do not participate in. This week, Dr. Jack and Mary interview a doctor who has been at the forefront of this controversy almost since the start: Dr. Michael Gaeta from the Foundation for Alternative and Integrative Medicine shows his deep technical expertise on the topic of vaccinations, the sordid history, and why education matters more than ever before.

When all the expert advice is making us more and more overweight and unhappy, year after year, maybe it’s time to reevaluate our approach. That doesn’t sound controversial, does it? But you cannot believe the push back in certain circles to the notion that eating meat, and nothing but meat, can actually be a life-changing decision. This week, Dr. Jack and Mary interview Dr. Josh Stockwell, on his stunning success with being a natural carnivore, eating what he craves, and steering clear of processed foods and refined sugar. Dr. Josh succinctly explains the science behind his incredible transformation, as well as some tips and ideas for making this type of change work for you. Tune in to learn why meat eating was not just a random variation in our diets. It changed everything. It can, again.

With Cancer diagnoses blowing up the US medical establishment, it is high time we identify processes more helpful than weakening and sickening cancer patients with minimally effective poisons; the treatment we all know as chemotherapy. This week Dr. Jack and Mary interview Dr. Michael Karlfeldt on some of the most surprising developments in alternative cancer therapies. The hopelessness of chemo need not be the only path forward. From the incredible relationship between sugar and cancer, to the way metabolism impacts every aspect of a cancer’s growth, Dr. Karlfeldt has seen stunning results with a different approach. Tune in to learn how there is real hope for several different processes when battling this dreaded disease. Shrinking the cancer should not be the end goal. Eradicating the cancer should be the end goal.

Imagine losing your children to a government agency for doing everything they ask you to do. This is the reality for more and more parents who are falling victim to an insidious scheme within an agency we all expect and demand be for the good of children. We’re talking about Child Protective Services. This week Dr. Jack and Mary speak with Miste Karlfeldt, Director of Health Freedom Idaho about the absolute horror faced by numerous families in the state of Idaho and beyond by a twisting of the original charter of CPS. It’s up to us to demand our rights, and that is the work Health Freedom Idaho does every day. Tune in to learn specific tactics to push back on draconian government overreach, and what to watch for if you suspect a government official is abusing their power to watch over you and your family.

Ever wonder why we’re all gaining weight faster than ever? No matter what new health breakthrough we hear about, no matter what new fad diet or exercise regime people dream up, the US is on a terrifying trend of obesity, and something has to be done. And wouldn’t you know that our diets and our doctors may be unwittingly conspiring to keep us gaining and gaining? This week Dr. Josh Stockwell walks us through the latest understanding of lectins and proton pump inhibitors; both things we’d want to avoid as much as possible, while being nearly impossible to avoid. Lectins appear in many vegetables and legumes, and PPIs like Nexium are given out by doctors like aspirin. Tune in to find out how these substances can be acting as a 1-2 punch on our waistlines and what to do about it.

What hope do we have when our legal system helps to keep alternatives to the “drugs for anything, drugs for everything” policy of US health care from ever seeing the right of day? This week, Dr. Jack shares his morning call-in show, with a troubling tale of legal jeopardy for a true innovator in alternative therapies for breast cancer and other types. The linkage Dr. Nicholas Gonzales identified between glucose and cancerous tissue continues to be largely ignored by the medical establishment, to the detriment of us all. Tune in to learn more about this linkage and the legally hostile environment any researcher could fall into if they make the wrong enemies in the American Medical Association.  

What does it take to lose 100 pounds? Let’s face it, most Americans need to lose weight. As the tidal wave of health problems from obesity threaten to swamp the boat of modern health care, it’s time for a reckoning. This hit close to home as our very own Dr. Josh Stockwell had life-changing health problems only one year ago. This week, Dr. Josh saves the day on KTalk when another host failed to show up. And it just so happens that his life changing crisis, and the incredible discoveries he made while attempting to self-heal, make for a fantastic show; one that we had to share with our national audience. We owe it to future generations to not bankrupt our healthcare system, and we owe it to ourselves to get our own nourishment right. Tune in to learn what it takes to take ownership and take control of diet and weight.

The incredible story continues. Joseph Antell has been on the show (almost 80 podcasts ago) to talk about his extraordinary battle against cancer and his body’s own immune system. It’s one of our most-listened-to shows and we’ve been talking ever since about having Joseph back on. This week, Dr. Jack and Mary interview their friend and mentor about his stunning story, continuing 14 years after his initial diagnosis of incurable cancer. Once a skeptic, Antell knows personally how powerful his own body can be, if nourished and supported properly. Tune in to hear his incredible story, and to learn more about the science of nutrition and the immune system.

Is Forbidden Doctor “in cahoots with” Standard Process? More like, “in awe of” Standard Process. We’ve watched the power of organic concentrated whole food supplements change lives when drugs and antibiotics failed people time and again. We watched concentrated foods save Mary’s life after being malnourished for most of her adult life, simply eating a normal western-style diet. But is there science behind this stance on nutrition? Is there ever. This week, Dr. Jack and Mary interview a giant in the nutritional supplement realm, when Mark Anderson, president of Standard Process West stops by to share some insights behind the science of nutrition. Tune in to learn nuggets of science known and forgotten by modern medicine for decades, from an expert at the height of his knowledge.

No one seems to appreciate the seriousness of Ulcerative Colitis until you are in the thick of the affliction. And while the condition can become deadly serious for many sufferers, it’s possible that no person has had it quite as bad as one of our two guests on the show. This week Dr. Jack and Mary interview Dr. Chris and Melissa Taylor about Melissa’s unbelievable story of chronic, lifetime ulcerative colitis. She covers how deadly the disease can be, how many brushes with death they experienced, and finally the incredible healing power of whole food supplements, which are a necessity when you cannot digest food normally. Tune in to learn about the horrors of western medicine when treating ulcerative colitis, and what you’ll need to know to self-support your body through real nutrition.

It seems everywhere you turn these days, someone is selling CBD-infused products. The FDA does what it can, but the reality is, it’s hard to know which products to trust. And what about the plant where this active compound originates? Does CBD oil get people high the way marijuana does? Are all the claims around CBD true to fact, or more medical mythology? This week Dr. Jack and Mary go into the science of cannabidiol (CBD), recent research across a wide array of maladies, and what to watch out for, with all these fly-by-night CBD companies. It turns out that the quality of ingredients, as well as the technology to store the CBD oil makes all the difference. Tune in to learn everything you need to know about this promising avenue of research.

Muscle cramps are no joke. Whether it’s a “minor” leg cramp, horrible menstruation cramps, or life threatening muscle cramping in the heart, the symptom exhibited is suggesting a dire situation in the body. This week Dr. Jack and Mary tackle muscle cramping, as we get into the hottest season in the US, we put ourselves at risk for under-nourishing our musculature. And it’s not just hydration. Tune in to learn the science of muscle nutrition, and the ways that our nutritional profile will make all the difference when we face a serious cramp.

When it comes to nutrition, we truly don’t know what we don’t know. This becomes acute on the question of veganism and vegetarianism diets. While we respect the many ethical and health reasons people attempt to avoid eating animals, it is very hard to be truly healthy on a plant-based diet. From the basic lack of nourishment without meat, to the growing controversy of pesticide-laden vegetables, there is a lot to know. Tune in to hear about a conversation Mary had with a major health influencer on Instagram regarding the dangers that are involved with staying too long on the Gerson diet. The second half of the podcast discusses new research from UCLA regarding the relationship between pesticide exposure in a pregnant woman and the dramatic increased risk of autism in a child. This is a new discovery and new research from UCLA.

Imagine watching your loved one suffocate, while breathing, and feeling helpless to do anything about it. That is the scourge of COPD (Chronic-Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder) that is affecting millions of families throughout the US. And wouldn’t you know it, our health system has come up with various drugs that can mask the symptoms to some extent, but for the most part, western doctors are going to throw their hands up and send you home to suffocate slowly. Listen to our podcast to find out the forbidden ways you CAN support your lungs, stop the damage, and maybe even reverse COPD.

Why do people who are weight-lifting for muscle bulk eat all sorts of synthetic muscle-building powders with known side-effects, when nature has provided a nearly perfect food for the type of quick protein and energy one needs during or after a workout? In fact, working out or not, this superfood can be safely consumed by everyone, is comparatively inexpensive, and does so much good in the body, we dedicated our podcast to it! This week Dr. Jack and Mary talk about the power of eggs; nature’s true superfood and the role it plays in Mary’s Incredible Raw Egg Shake recipe. Tune in to understand the science behind the nutrition, and why whole food shakes will trounce a synthetic “muscle gainer” every time.

What if you could eliminate the nagging allergies that strike at the most inconvenient times in our lives? You’d say we were crazy, wouldn’t you? You’d assume only drugs and steroids can help with allergies, based on your past interactions with doctors. As one might expect, this is nonsense. This week Dr. Jack and Mary review the science of allergies and why your gut health is truly foundational on this issue. You won’t believe the simplicity and elegance of the science-based solutions for allergies. Tune in to learn how your own suffering may need not be necessary.

What on earth would cold sores, heat stroke, and restless legs possibly have in common? This week Dr. Jack and Mary are going to make the connections to explain the science behind these various phenomena and precisely how they are connected. Make no mistake, natural foods we should be eating provide plenty of the missing ingredient that can lead to these health issues, but the reality is, most of us are malnourished, and when we see symptoms of our poor nutrition, it can be surprising symptoms like cold sores in the summer, or being more susceptible to heat stroke. Tune in to find out why these seemingly unrelated issues can all crop up for the exact same reason. You’ll be glad you did!

Difficulty of pronunciation notwithstanding, if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis, you already know how miserable this condition can be. Turns out this malady affects millions of (mostly) women in the US, but hardly anyone talks about it. Worst still is the medical establishments scattershot approach to treatment, which includes some of the most laughably ignorant recommendations in the entire canon of western medicine. This week Dr. Jack and Mary dig in to the bladder pain associated with interstitial cystitis, discuss the actual science and what is understood about this horrible experience, and what we can do despite our family doctors throwing their arms up in surrender. This can be fixed. Tune in to find out how.

This week, Dr. Jack and Mary discuss the central role that choline plays in the processes of the liver, and it's downstream impacts on multiple systems of the body. As our cases of fatty liver disease, obesity, and diabetes spiral out of control, we have clearly missed something in nutrition science since the 1950's, but what is it? Tune in to learn why you may be doing everything right and still gaining belly fat because of a deficiency experts estimate that 90% of the US population has. Find out how to get enough choline in your diet. It may save your life!

Are you getting enough iodine? Do you realize how serious this question is? This week, Dr. Jack and Mary revisit one of the most critical topics of their entire canon. The importance of iodine, and also the ignorance about this essential compound cannot be understated. From Mary’s own story of iodine and how it helped to save her life, to the countless patients helped by this simple diet adjustment, how is this not core knowledge in our population? Tune in to find out why this might be the case, and learn some of the amazing research behind iodine that they don't want you to know.

What does informed consent even mean? This week Dr. Jack and Mary take a serious look at the misinformation at the heart of the vaccination debate in the US. There are so many economic interests at play, that our message has always been to remain skeptical. Skeptical of the pro-vaccination crowd, and even skeptical of some skeptics! Which leads us to informed consent. All we really strive for at Forbidden Doctor is to educate and inform. So that when you are faced with decisions related to yours or your family’s health, informed consent can mean what it’s supposed to mean. Tune in for an aggravating tour of the current landscape of vaccine half-truths and why it matters.

This week we have a surprise! A bit of a change up from our regular format, but we think our listeners will love this show. Without further delay, hit play!

Is it any wonder why alternative medicine is considered an also-ran in the US medical system? Our own government has been starving researchers of funding for nutrition and alternative compound research that can help in the fight against cancer.   This naturally leads to pharmaceutical companies touting the latest breakthrough in incremental drug-based symptom management until death. It’s really the most profitable model.    We need to look to other developed nations with universal health care to see a major change in this research funding philosophy. If we look to China, for example, their research goes to saving lives and saving money simultaneously, instead of prolonging lives while making money, the way we do here.   What’s the result? Well, Chinese researchers are sharing incredible new research on the benefits of turmeric. Yes. Food-based turmeric has not only been called a superfood, an anti-inflammatory and anti-stress compound of the highest order, but now we see amazing synergy between the use of turmeric and standard chemo-resistant cancer cells normally thriving despite the poisons running through your body.   This is a scandal of the highest order, and as usual, it’s the magical "drugs for everything” trope getting in the way of our health.   Tune in to find out how this injustice can effect us all, and what to do about it. 

This week Dr. Jack shares deep wisdom and some fascinating anecdotes from his role as NUCCA Board Certified chiropractor in his own clinic he shares with Mary and his son Dr. Josh Stockwell.    Very few people consider how critical (and rare) proper spinal alignment is to our overall well-being.   The stunning array of related, cross-referenced physical and even psychological symptoms connected to our spinal column are legion. Dr. Jack speaks from the front lines of spinal alignment, and shares the life-changing impact the right adjustment at the right time can make on every one of us.   Tune in for some refreshing knowledge from a preeminent NUCCA Board Certified chiropractor on his area of primary expertise.

The body’s ability to produce enzymes decreases dramatically in our 30’s. But does it have to?   This week Dr. Jack dives into the energy production mechanisms found in our bodies. There are roughly 5000 enzyme reactions so far identified in the human body. Within this framework, enzymes do the heavy lifting in providing us the energy we need to live our lives.    But these catalyzing agents in our bodies operate within narrow parameters. It’s easy to disrupt the energy production cycles of our bodies. With careful analysis it’s becoming clear that our chemical-laden lifestyles may be having a much more profound impact on even the most basic chemical processes in our cells, than scientists suspected.   Tune in to learn why the "drugs for everything” epidemic in our medical industry, and our scorched-earth pesticide use is disruptive to critical living processes, in subtle ways we are only beginning to understand. Is there a way forward? 

The natural state of our bodies hovers between total order and chaos. This week Dr. Jack and Mary talk about how life itself fits into the puzzle of order and chaos in our universe. Human life and human health are fraught with difficult choices affecting the order within our own lives.    We are not victims of our childhood or the lessons of life that moved us from order to chaos. We are empowered to seek the order of a deliberate and healthful life.    Much like the catalysts involved with the earliest life emerging from lifelessness, catalysts are all around us, as in our gut health we always talk about and even in the decisions you make about life and love. Everything you do catalyzes the energy that exists with other people. When this state is in balance, there is only peace and love.   Tune in and follow through the implications of owning your own catalyzing moments, and the moving away from chaos into healing, light, and love.

This week Dr. Jack and Mary cover a myriad of different acute conditions we all face, but rarely deal with in the safest, most effective manner.    From fevers, stomach pain, and topicals burns, to gall bladder pain and depression, and many others, doctors often prescribe pain killers, antacids, antibiotics; basically a perfect collection of what not to do.   Instead of leaning on the lazy conventional wisdom of the medical establishment, tune in to learn some insightful, forbidden remedies for common, but acute conditions we are all bound to face at one point or another. You’ll be happy you did!

This week Dr. Jack and Mary ask a few simple questions, to help identify whether we, all of us, have been brainwashed into complacency by some of the more popular myths of modern medicine. The reality is, when it comes to foundational healing, or even understanding the root cause of much disease, modern, western medicine is not going to get you there. At managing symptoms, with expensive, monthly drug subscriptions, the US is second to none. But preventing illness in the first place?    We continue to wallow in ignorance. Tune in to see if you can spot the blinders you may have to the inadequacies of our system, and what can be done.

What happens when modern medicine forces us to choose between infectious disease and chronic disease? This is far more than an academic question as we dance around the topic of infant immunization. This week Dr. Jack and Mary ask some serious questions about the science and the business of infant immunization. Hepatitis B has very specific protocols for high-risk scenarios, yet this vaccination is routinely given to newborns. Why have we gotten to this? Tune in to hear all about modern medicine’s take, from Mary’s personal experience just weeks ago, to the myths of herd immunity driven by market forces instead of good science.

This week Dr. Jack and Mary take us on a startling journey through the history of chemotherapy. Talk about crazy-making! When exactly did we decide we should poison cancer patients? And what sort of measures of success were put into place to justify this wild strategy?   Part luck, and part deception, chemotherapy showed amazing promise because of the accident of what specifically it was tried on first. But we now know that chemotherapy is prescribed for all kinds of cancers, when it’s definitively only proven to be effective for a limited class of “soft” cancers, such as Hodgekins and leukemia.   There are always exceptions, and the engines of commerce have driven chemotherapy to the top of the treatment plan, with the false hope it can bring to millions of cancer sufferers, often regardless of prognosis. So this begs the question: how much does chemotherapy actually cost? And why is it nearly impossible to find this information?   Dr. Jack and Mary are on the case, and you will be stunned by what they found.

It’s flu season! Guess what that means... Yes, we are bombarded by messaging in all quarters to get a flu shot. Never mind how ineffective it’s been two years in a row. Never mind the aggravating impacts of the adjuvants used to attack our immune systems. This week Dr. Jack and Mary review the research around the bad science and big business of annual flu shots.   For most healthy adults, the choice is to risk a bout of the flu or continue piling on years of metal accumulation in the body, including the brain (and still risk catching the flu!)   Tune in to learn not one reason, but 10 reasons why you should skip the flu shot this year.

This week Dr. Jack and Mary tackle the difficult topic of ADHD. There are so many misconceptions about children with ADHD, that it’s worth discussing a topic that covers far more than simply diet.   And this topic hits close to home, as Dr. Jack and Mary’s grandson has been diagnosed with ADHD, and they have personal experience working with this often frustrating set of behaviors.   As a society, we get it consistently wrong when it comes to ADHD, partly from stigma, and partly from our own intuitions, which can be reliably inaccurate.   Tune in to cut through the fog of ADHD. There may be real hope for dramatic improvements in your child or grandchild, but it will take knowledge, patience, and empathy.

This week Dr. Jack and Mary have some shocking stories from real-life patients in their clinic. We know most physicians out there are well-intentioned, but with a medical system fraught with conflicts of interest, limited to managing their symptoms, and under the direct influence of the pharmaceutical industry, patients often find themselves with little recourse to follow what they believe is a one-way street instead of an understanding of how to heal foundationally.   As we compiled the list of very, very sick people, what keeps emerging is a pattern that constantly reveals a culture of ignorance and misunderstanding regarding the natural healing processes of the body. Though modern crisis care constantly saves millions of people every day, there remains a powerful healing tool that has yet to show up in the modern health care area.    To reveal this missing piece of the healing puzzle is the mission of the Forbidden Doctor. The patient's stories in this podcast episode reveal the shortcomings of modern health care and how much further it needs to reach in the cases of chronic illness.   These are the types of cases that constantly motivate and inspire us to continue our mission at Forbidden Doctor. Tune in to find out how to help someone who has been left behind because of the medical limitations of drugs for everything and drugs for anything. What can we do to help very, very sick people?
