Healing Trends with Dr. Bens

Today, more young people are being diagnosed with cancer than ever before.Today, more young people are being diagnosed with cancer than ever before. There has been a 30% increase in youth cancer diagnoses over the past 50 years. Humans are exposed to more toxins today than ever before, including prescription medications and processed foods which contribute to the overall toxic load. However, we discuss some of the larger cancer accelerators on today's episode. One of the largest cancer accelerators might surprise you, it is a device that you are most likely using to listen to this podcast…the cell phone. Cell phones and many other modern electrical devices have increased the radiation levels we are exposed to on a daily basis. The other big cancer accelerator we discuss is both the Covid infection and the Covid vaccine. A new article written after our taping is entitled Did a Famous Doctor's COVID Shot Make His Cancer Worse? The Atlantic Magazine-September 24, 2022.These are two things that are certainly hard to avoid in today's environment; however, we touch on some ways to limit the overall toxic impact on your body from these accelerators:-Supplements like Chlorella and Vitamin D3-Early detection screening, like thermography-Clean healthy diet and intermittent fasting-Exercise - we discuss interval trainingThese are potentially controversial topics for some people however, we try to share all the available medical science to allow everyone to make informed decisions.   You can find Dr. Bens on his website or reach him via email at bensck@gmail.com.

Did you know one in four Americans suffer from fatty liver disease?On today's episode, we discuss fatty liver disease. Did you know one in four Americans suffer from fatty liver disease? The liver is the only organ that can regenerate itself however, because the liver is so resilient, it can be diseased up to 70% before the current medical tests are able to determine that there is an issue. Fatty liver disease can be very dangerous as it can lead to internal scarring and, ultimately, liver failure. There are many preventable measures you can take to decrease your chances of suffering with liver issues. We discuss some of these ways more in depth:  Test your iron levels - did you know you can lower your Iron levels by donating blood twice a year? Exercise - helps by lowering your triglyceride levels Healthy balance of Omega 6/Omega 3 balance Reduce prescription medications - there are usually natural alternatives Healthy gut - 70% of all vitamins and minerals are made in the intestines  Dr. Bens also shares his enhancement liver formula consisting of 6 different supplements which he believes will help to repair liver issues as well as keep the liver healthy. These supplements and the value behind them are explained in greater detail on this episode:Berberine, high quality chlorella, Vitamin E, Vitamin B complex, NAC and Omega 3.

On today's episode, we discuss the many vision problems we encounter as we age.In today's episode, we discuss the many vision problems we encounter as we age. However, do we need to just accept that our vision will deteriorate as we get older? Getting prescription eyewear is so commonplace that no one even thinks about the nutritional deficiencies involved. Today, we tackle this question and talk through some natural ways that one can help to protect and improve their vision. Specific foods such as carrots, kale, nuts, & seeds can help to provide your body with the carotenoids and other nutrients it needs for healthy eyes. We review many different supplements that you can begin adding to your daily pill packs such as lutein, zeaxanthin, zinc with copper, bilberry, omega 3, and vitamin D, just to name a few.Many doctors will prescribe a certain medication focusing primarily on a specific health issue; however, this often results in side effects that then need to be treated and managed. Wouldn't it be great if you could add a food or supplement that would not only help improve the health issue at hand but simultaneously benefit other parts of your body as well? We explore two supplements that will not only benefit the eyes but will also improve and positively affect many other parts of your body.

Is there any amount of alcohol that is considered safe?Is there any amount of alcohol that is considered safe? On today's episode we will tackle this big question as well as hear Dr. Bens own personal health story and experience, and how changing his diet (and alcohol consumption) allowed him to treat his health condition naturally with zero medication. We review a handful of studies that show how excessive alcohol intake is linked to digestive system issues, along with negative impacts on the body's key organs. Alcohol consumption has been known to cause brain issues such as Parkinson's, Alzheimers, and dementia. When one mentions sugar, you may instinctively think of foods such as chocolate or fruit. Few people think of alcohol as containing a lot of sugar, however, that's a big component of the beverage. Food is not the only thing you should be buying organic; wine also contains pesticides (glyphosates) that you should be aware of when opening-up your next bottle of wine. We discuss how alcohol cravings, along with other vices (chocolate, cigarettes, etc. can be reduced by focusing on getting your body healthy. Getting healthy consists of eating a balanced diet, reducing stress in your life, doing daily exercise, and adding quality supplements to your daily routine.

On today's episode, we discuss the Monkeypox outbreak and the data on the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of the newly developed vaccine.On today's episode, we discuss the Monkeypox outbreak and the data on the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of the newly developed vaccine. There have been no randomized trials or long- term studies conducted for the Monkeypox vaccine. Just how safe and effective is this vaccine? There are still a lot of unknowns on how to prevent and treat this virus. However, we do know that Monkeypox is in the same family of Smallpox. Today we talk about some alternative more natural treatments you can consider to help protect yourself from the Monkeypox virus, based upon what has been successful for treating Smallpox. Below are a few recommendations we dive into: ● Strong immune system: which can be achieved by eating a healthy diet along with high doses of Vitamin C & Vitamin D ● Nanoparticle Silver: which helps to degrade the lining of the virus cell therefore killing it (we also share our favorite Silver brand) ● Herbal treatments- used by native people over 170 years ago. ● Homeopathic remedies- used successfully for hundreds of years. We do not know how serious this outbreak will be or whether the new vaccine is worth the risk involved, considering the shortcomings of the COVID-19 vaccines. Sometimes taking preventative action and trusting long established natural treatments is the way to go. You can find Dr. Bens on his website or reach him via email at bensck@gmail.com.

On today's episode, we continue our conversation with the Cardio Miracle team and dive deeper into the value of nitric oxide for our cells.On today's episode, we continue our conversation with the Cardio Miracle team and dive deeper into the value of nitric oxide for our cells. We explore the specific ingredients in the NO formula and why they are seeing such amazing results. We review the Frontiers Institute article on Cardio Miracle and discuss how this supplement plays a big role in both the prevention and regression of heart disease, as well as other benefits.John Hewlett recalls back in 2007 when he first became introduced to this formula; it consisted of Nitric Oxide, Vitamin B12, and a handful of Antioxidants. Then, 7 years later in 2014 when he founded Cardio Miracle, his new formula consisted of 53 ingredients (including astragalus root, grape seed extract, beet root powder, just to name a few). We discuss how this new formula was able to extend the Nitric Oxide release in the body 24/7 instead of just a few hours for most NO products as the longer Nitric Oxide is expressed along the capillary/arterial wall, the less inflammation there is in the body and the better the artery repair process.We also discuss how adding Cardio Miracle to your daily vitamin regimen could help you pare down your list of daily vitamins as it acts as a super multivitamin. Dr. Bens begins to draw a connection between Cardio Miracle and how just maybe there are other illnesses outside of heart disease that this supplement could help with.You can purchase Cardio Miracle on www.drcharlesbens.com, enter BENS at checkout for 15% off!

On today's episode, we talk with John Hewlett (founder of Cardio Miracle) and Stanford Graham, CEO of the company producing the supplement, Cardio Miracle.On today's episode, we talk with John Hewlett (founder of Cardio Miracle) and Stanford Graham, CEO of the company producing the supplement, Cardio Miracle. John Hewlett shares his own story and the heart issues he experienced 17 years ago along with the complications he faced from the surgery he had, and how that ultimately led him to begin looking into different, more effective, and less invasive cardiovascular surgery alternatives. During today's interview, you will learn why you and your loved ones should add this supplement to your daily regime and how it can help you to avoid heart complications in the future.Through his own health journey, Hewlett began researching and learning more about a 1998 Nobel Prize-winning Nitric Oxide formula and its powerful role in reversing cardiovascular issues. Hewlett was perplexed as to why more Cardiologists were not talking about this or promoting it. After giving up his successful financial career to become a full-time advocate of Nitric Oxide, Hewlett realized that there was even more that could be done to improve the awareness of this miracle cardiovascular solution. Hewlett set off on his own to not only spread the word of this alternative therapy to reduce your chances of heart complications but began working with a strong team of scientists, artificial intelligence experts, and doctors to tweak this original formula making it much more effective. You can purchase Cardio Miracle on www.drcharlesbens.com, enter BENS at checkout for 15% off! Also tune in next week for Part 2, for the continued conversation with John Hewlett and Stanford Graham. In Part 2 Dr. Bens will ask questions about the specific ingredients in the formula and why they are getting such amazing results.

Natural science has proven what the FDA, the CDC, and every other national media expert have failed to understand is that COVID-19 has always been totally preventable.Natural science has proven what the FDA, the CDC, and every other national media expert have failed to understand is that COVID-19 has always been totally preventable. In an article published recently, a hospital in Ghana reported that all patients (4,000) and staff (89) avoided being infected with COVID-19 by using hydrogen peroxide up the nose and some down the throat every day. The treatment involved a 0.5% hydrogen peroxide nasal cavity rinse and a 1.0% hydrogen peroxide mouthwash that was gargled. Within days of the announcement that a new virus called COVID-19 was spreading (around March 2020) I began to recommend hydrogen peroxide for anyone who became seriously infected with this virus. I'm absolutely certain that many natural and functional medicine doctors were also recommending hydrogen peroxide for their patients.There is a much easier treatment that I have also recommended to everyone I was able to reach by articles, podcasts, television, and emails blasts: colloidal silver. Yes, that's right, at the end of each day where someone had contact with other people I recommended a few sprays of silver up the nose followed by deep breathing to ensure penetration into the sinuses. Then a few sprays down the throat, and as you may have guessed not one person using this approach became infected. There are hundreds of scientific studies validating the use of silver against viruses, and yet the FDA went after health practitioners with a vengeance if they even mentioned the word silver. During today's episode, we will discuss this study and much more on how scientists and doctors have successfully treated this virus.

When it comes to colonoscopies, does the benefit outweigh the risk?When it comes to colonoscopies, does the benefit outweigh the risk? We review the statistics on this matter and question whether a colonoscopy is worth the risk of perforation, taking the gut out of balance, or bacterial infection. Beyond these inherent risks, a colonoscopy is not a foolproof test. In fact, 17% of cancers are missed with a colonoscopy. Are there other tests that can be used as a substitute for a colonoscopy that is less invasive and more effective? Prevention is key, today we'll discuss some things you can do to help keep your colon (and body) healthy: Mediterranean Diet Vitamin D3  Probiotics  Chew your food thoroughly  Intermittent fasting Tablespoon of olive oil (or avocado oil) a day We also discuss some important supplements which help to maintain a healthy colon: GutConnect 365, rebuilds the lining of intestines  MegaSporeBiotic, closes the gaps within the intestines to ensure that nothing toxic gets into your bloodstream Gut FX Formula, reduces inflammation in the gut    You can find Dr. Bens on his website or reach him via email at bensck@gmail.com.

The headline of a recent article read “We get a new liver every three years”. My immediate reaction was isn't that great, I would love to have a new liver every three years. Then I paused and reflected on that thought.The headline of a recent article read “We get a new liver every three years”. My immediate reaction was isn't that great, I would love to have a new liver every three years. Then I paused and reflected on that thought; how can that be possible with so many people getting liver cancer? I know the liver is the only organ that can replace a part of itself if it is damaged or even cut off. And, I know that almost all cells have a cell replacement program built into our cellular repair process. Then I remembered another study that exposed a flaw in this cellular replacement process. Apparently, many patients are diagnosed with cancer of the liver but had no evidence of liver problems in the years prior to this diagnosis. How is this possible? It seems that the liver is indeed very resilient and has the ability to continue to function normally even though up to 70% of it may be diseased. That's correct, the other 30% keeps performing all of the liver's 300-plus functions with no liver enzymes being released. Then all of a sudden liver enzymes show up. However, after liver enzymes are found some doctors have been known to do up to ten biopsies finding that nine of the samples are diseased. In other words, the diagnostic system is flawed and should be seriously reformed. In today's podcast, we will consider what tests might be better as well as what people can do to protect their liver from damage. We will discuss detoxification, foods, and some very strong nutraceuticals such as CoQ10 and vitamin E, which can ensure that the liver functions effectively for a long time.   You can find Dr. Bens on his website or reach him via email at bensck@gmail.com.

Today's episode is a great follow-up to last week's, where we talked about how "death by modern medicine" is something of which we should all be more aware.Today's episode is a great follow-up to last week's, where we talked about how "death by modern medicine" is something of which we should all be more aware.In the last year of our show, Dr. Bens has spent almost 80 episodes talking about the benefits of natural and holistic healthcare. It's something he is very passionate about! In this conversation, Dr. Bens and John Barson, Total Health Magazine researcher and editor, discuss pharmaceutical pollution in our environment, DNA damage, managing your cholesterol, and the benefits of The Body Health Analyzer.    You can find Dr. Bens on his website or reach him via email at bensck@gmail.com.

Doctors are not practicing safe medicine out there, so how can you protect yourself?Dr. Bens was working with a patient this past week who had arrhythmia, caused by the COVID-19 virus and then allegedly exacerbated by the COVID-19 vaccination. Her doctor put her on an arrhythmia medication—which she was on for two or three days. Unfortunately, it not only didn't help, it produced undesirable side effects. So, she said: "That's not working for me!" They put her on a second medication, and that one only lasted two or three hours before she confirmed it was not working either. Then, they put her on a third medication. Guess what? That one didn't work either! Her doctor said, "Well, now the only thing we have left is many, many x-rays... and surgery."Doctors are not practicing safe medicine out there, so how can you protect yourself?In today's episode, Dr. Bens welcomes Total Health Magazine researcher and editor John Barson. In their conversation, they provide some answers. You can find Dr. Bens on his website or reach him via email at bensck@gmail.com.

The media and conventional medical professionals can sometimes get the idea right, but not the follow-through.The media and "conventional" medical professionals can sometimes get the idea right, but not the follow-through. That's the concept behind this episode on psychiatric medicine, talk therapy, and mass shootings.One theory behind the recent rise in mass shootings is depression medications like Prozac—but you will never see that in the popular media. Today we dive into why talk therapy is bad, the problem with Ritalin, school lunch programs, and how better nutrition in our schools would stop mass shootings.

We don't think about muscles a whole lot. But, we should.We don't think about muscles a whole lot. The heart is the most important, but people don't think about the heart as an actual muscle! Today's focus is on the role of muscles in our overall health.Most muscular challenges are caused by fungi, parasites, and other viruses that act as the triggers of these diseases. It turns out there are hundreds of them.This presents a challenging situation for doctors as well. There are too many factors to measure, and they may not get to the root of the problem. We start this episode with a story about Dr. Bens' son contracting COVID-19 at the gym through his glutes. We then discuss Muscular Dystrophy, the link between the COVID-19 vaccine and Guillain-Barre syndrome, high-dose vitamin C, and the best diet to prevent inflammation.  You can find Dr. Bens on his website or reach him via email at bensck@gmail.com.

Gut problems are so common these days. How can you relieve your symptoms?Gut problems are so common these days, with people complaining of gluten intolerance, lactose intolerance, bloating, cramping, and more.With the way we are eating, our body is trying to digest chemicals and sugars—and it is not getting what it needs. But, enzymes are a simple fix!Enzymes do a lot for our bodies and guts, including breaking down nutrients and delivering those nutrients to cells.Today Dr. Bens and John discuss how to get those enzymes, the best supplements, autism, and tests you can undergo to find out more about your digestive system.

Cells are the building blocks of all living organs.Cells are the building blocks of all living organs. Our cells take nutrients from the food we eat, and those nutrients are converted to a form of energy that performs specialized functions. Those specialized functions need specialized material to work with. You can't build a house without a hammer, nails, and some plywood.We have to start thinking about our bodies in this way. These actions aren't visible to the human eye, but they are crucial for rejuvenating the human body and brain. If you're getting a solid eight hours of sleep, that's where all the work is really being done. This precious window works to repair all the damage we've done to our bodies throughout the day. Listen as Dr. Bens and John discuss the levels of cellular deterioration, cellular repair, thoughts on stem cell regeneration, and so much more.

Climate change has huge impacts on health.Climate change has significant impacts on health. A recent headline that got Dr. Bens' attention really drives this point home: "This is Why We Will Be More Sick in the Future."As the planet warms up and shifts occur, we will have to start becoming more aware of our personal environment. We always talk about taking control of your health, but people truly have to start thinking about the environment and its impact on physical, mental, and emotional well-being.Rising temperatures, flooding, infection, and crowded life in urban areas are just a few of the climate issues Dr. Bens and John discuss in this episode—as well as some ways to combat them to optimize health and wellness.

Sleep disruptions are very common. It's important to find ways to promote deep, healthy sleep.Sleep disruptions are very common, unless you find yourself in a serene setting—like John Barson, who lives in rural Vancouver by a river.The rest of us in urban society would benefit from some tips and tricks to get the best, natural sleep of your life.Think of your sleep as a pit stop for a race car. It's all hands on deck! Mechanics rush out and immediately take action to get the car back in tip-top shape. That's what's happening to your body when you sleep well. Some simple things to try: exercising during the day, taking pro-resolving mediators, deep breathing, and cannabis.

There are so many different types of doctors out there. How do you know which one is right for you?There are so many different types of doctors out there. Before you chose your current provider, did you do any research or look into all the types of practitioners available?Patients are not challenging their practitioners enough. We believe there are a number of questions you should ask in advance of deciding on a practitioner, instead of just relying on referrals or online ratings.Today we're talking about the topics you should ask your doctor or specialist before entrusting your health to them. Some of those questions include:- What is breast cancer?- How reliable is mammography?- How do you factor nutrition into a care plan?

Today's episode is based on a presentation Dr. Bens has been teaching to CEOs across the country for the last 15 years.Today's episode is based on a presentation Dr. Bens has been teaching to CEOs across the country for the last 15 years.Most people don't have a plan for their brain health, even though your brain is on and working 24/7! In particular, this presentation has been the most popular with CEOs—because these executives and owners are making money. They're successful in their businesses. And, they want to ensure they don't develop a debilitating issue that keeps them from living their best lives.Even if you're not a high-powered executive, you still deserve to know the best way to prevent serious illness and optimize your brain function and health. In this episode, we'll discuss the problem with statins, specific nutrients required to keep your brain running, heavy metals testing, and Dr. Bens' Food Value Chart.

A new study reveals that 74% of cancer patients did not find out about their diagnosis through a pre-screening or diagnostic tool.A new study reveals that 74% of cancer patients did not find out about their diagnosis through a pre-screening or diagnostic tool. Instead, they found out because they had very serious problems that turned out to be cancer. You can do the math: Only 26% of people are taking proactive or precautionary steps to prevent or keep track of their cancer risks. Why? Individuals are hesitant to find out their status and are more likely to wait until their symptoms deteriorate enough to cause major issues. But, if you find cancer early through AI analyses, there's about a 95% chance you can prevent it. Dr. Bens and John discuss breast cancer screenings and thermography, getting your vitamin D levels up, broccoli's superpowers, and overall ways to optimize your cancer prevention and recovery.  You can find Dr. Bens on his website or reach him via email at bensck@gmail.com.

We know you're sick of hearing us talk about this, but COVID-19 and long COVID aren't going anywhere.We know you're sick of hearing us talk about this, but COVID-19 and long COVID aren't going anywhere. We all know somebody at this point who is dealing with long COVID.In fact, a new report says 40% of anyone who has had COVID-19 are now long haulers. Some newer symptoms include tinnitus, nerve damage, and hair loss. many doctors are at a loss on how to handle or manage these issues. But, there are ways to ease and even get rid of symptoms, including knowing the six stages of cellular deterioration, testing vitamin D3 levels, and GlycoMark tests. Today, we discuss all of these and more! You can find Dr. Bens on his website or reach him via email at bensck@gmail.com.

We've covered it a little bit before, but today we're going to try to concentrate on air pollution and what to do about it.We've covered it a little bit before, but today we're going to try to concentrate on air pollution and what to do about it—because we're going to collectively give up on the government doing something that will change the situation in our lifetime and likely our grandchildren's lifetime as well.A recent World Health Organization report says 99% of people are breathing poor quality air. Unfortunately, it now doesn't matter if you're in a rural area or a major city, air pollution is everywhere. So today we're talking about air fresheners, vehicle exhaust, and toxins in your clothing that can lead to illnesses like schizophrenia, cancer, and more. We will also cover Dr. Bens' favorite foods and air filters to keep your home and body toxin-free! You can find Dr. Bens on his website or reach him via email at bensck@gmail.com.

Every now and then you hear the story of a healthy, athletic person going on a job and dropping dead from a heart attack. Every now and then you hear the story of a healthy, athletic person going on a job and dropping dead from a heart attack. Now how can that be possible?It might sound strange, but exercise can kill you. When you exercise, your body needs more energy. And to make that energy, your body needs magnesium because magnesium is the mineral that transports glucose and oxygen into the mitochondria of your cell to make energy.If you don't have enough magnesium, you can't take that energy-making combination of oxygen and glucose into the cell, into the mitochondria to be used. So that means that that glucose continues to circulate in your body causing damage to your arteries because that glucose is a toxin. And if it's not processed immediately as an energy tool, then you end up doing irreparable damage.Dr. Bens & John look back at the stories they have heard over the years,  why you need an instant pot, why athletes are getting COVID-19, and the best prevention methods and products to help you healthy enough to exercise in an optimal way.

Think about it sooner rather than later. That's the motto here when it comes to anti-aging efforts!Think about it sooner rather than later. That's the motto here when it comes to anti-aging efforts!Science is advancing rapidly, and there are a number of tests that you can start no, including thermography, vitamin D levels, heart rate variability studies, and measuring telomere length. Did you know that most humans have enough telomeres to last to 120 years old?! There are so many factors that we can modify if we catch them early enough and slow down the aging process. Haven't heard of these tests? Well, don't have too much confidence in your current doctor, there's more they're not telling you. This is where doing your own research comes in.Dr. Bens and John Barson cover these tests and more. And remind you to keep tabs on air pollution in your area, and water toxicity. In fact, if you're not careful, your inside air is worse than the outside air.  You can find Dr. Bens on his website or reach him via email at bensck@gmail.com.

A lot of people aren't paying as much attention to their kidneys as they should be.Dr. Bens chose today's topic because he's found that a lot of people in the older age group, which he happens to be in, are having problems with their kidneys. In fact, a lot of people aren't paying as much attention to their kidneys as they should be.Did you know that just two or more sugary drinks a year can lead to serious kidney problems and kidney stones? In other words, two soft drinks are all it takes. We need to take a little more responsibility for paying attention to our kidneys because they're extremely important, and this episode is going to cover how important they are and how to make them healthier.We discuss kidney stones, drinking water, minerals and supplements to support kidney health, and harmful foods.  You can find Dr. Bens on his website or reach him via email at bensck@gmail.com.

Are the medications you're taking really that necessary? According to John & Dr. Bens, the most likely are not.Are the medications you're taking really that necessary? According to John & Dr. Bens, the most likely are not. They say most prescriptions should mostly be avoided altogether! You've probably had an experience much like John's, where you head to the doctor with a complaint, he hands you a prescription, and when you pick it up at the pharmacy, along with the pills are pages and pages of warnings and side effects. Most of us probably just throw them out, but it's time to give those pamphlets a readthrough.Once you block something with a prescription, then the body has to try to find a workaround. And then with the workaround, we end up getting a lot of side effects and things that really weren't intended for the body when it was first designed.this episode touches on the problem with most prescription medications, what the media isn't telling you,  misleading commercials, and if you choose to stay on your prescriptions, our hosts offer some supplements to take to balance out the effects of the pills.

90% of all medications & prescription drugs are failures. But there are better and more holistic ways to prevent disease.90% of all medications & prescription drugs are failures. But there are better and more holistic ways to prevent disease. Did you know 80% of chronic illness is preventable?! Well, we're developing more and more tools to help aid us in prevention not only in testing but in protocols as well. John & Dr. Bens share stories of when pills didn't live up to their name, heart rate variability screening, and the natural remedies they took in their place.   You can find Dr. Bens on his website

The COVID-19 vaccines continue to bring up more new and unexpected side effects, that are dangerous to your health.The COVID-19 vaccines continue to bring up more new and unexpected side effects, that are dangerous to your health. Today we are focusing on spike proteins in the RNA vaccines. The government and many doctors don't seem to understand what's happening in our bodies and how the spike protein is causing havoc everywhere. The spike protein is turning out to be a toxin, that actually replicates on its own after it's in the body.But that's one of the things we try to do on our program, is to try to get down to the root cause of things and try to give people a working explanation of what's happening.In this episode, Dr. Bens and John Barson talk about the difficulties of being unvaccinated in our current world, the standards for who is administering vaccines, and what happens if spike proteins get into your bloodstream.  You can find Dr. Bens on his website

This program is on a mind-boggling topic, people who don't really want to know the truth about their health right now.This program is on a mind-boggling topic, people who don't really want to know the truth about their health right now, and want to wait until the future when the problem is too big to ignore.It seems women are a bit more interested in learning about their health earlier than men. And men not only have no idea but don't really want to try to change their lifestyles. But why is it so hard to change ANYONE's health habits?Well, between Dr. Bens and John Barson, there is a ton of experience in this episode about people resisting the knowledge that could help to save their lives. They talk about why they distrust mainstream media, the COVID-19 vaccine, government protocols, and how it all boils down to money. John has been working in the health industry since he built his first health website in 1996. He is now the web designer/editor/producer and interviewer for TotalHealth magazine. You can find Dr. Bens on his website

The vaccine craze is at its peak right now.The vaccine craze is at its peak right now. And we're not just talking COVID-19, doctors are pushing all kinds of vaccines on patients across the board.We hate to say the word brainwashed, but people have been trained that vaccines are 100% safe, perfect, one-time cures.
