Episode 25:15 ABCD - Is There A Common Cause Behind Alzheimer's, Blood Pressure, Cancer and Diabetes? Most Americans, as they age, will have to deal with one or more of the following “ABCD” conditions: Alzheimer's Blood Pressure Cancer  Diabetes Each of these conditions are treated as separate conditions requiring separate specialists: A Neurologist for Alzheimer's. A Cardiologist for Blood Pressure. An Oncologist for Cancer. An Endocrinologist for Diabetes What if this approach is wrong? That is, what if these conditions have more in common than the medical profession has led us to believe? What if they are simply “different branches of the same tree?” And, what if there are a few root causes that are common to each of these conditions? On this episode I explore these questions. In addition, I share five simple blood tests that, in my opinion, reveal the root causes behind Alzheimer's, Blood Pressure, Cancer and Diabetes. This is an episode you DON'T want to miss.

A1C is an important indicator of your blood glucose levels that is a more accurate picture of your blood sugar than just the glucose test itself.  And Dr. Prather shares how you can improve those numbers naturally and without prescription drugs through Structure-Function Care.  In this episode, we talk about:—What numbers you want to see in your A1C levels.  And which ranges indicate pre-diabetes or diabetes. —How the body is affected by higher A1C levels, including:  nerve damage, neuropathy, blindness, cardiovascular disease, and kidney failure.—Why Dr. Prather says his office is even able to cut the insulin required for Type 1 Diabetics by as much as 50%, which slows down the aging process and nerve damage for those patients.  And why Dr. Prather says it is "almost guaranteed" that you can be cured of Type 2 Diabetes if you do everything that you are supposed to do.—The reason why children are now developing Type 2 Diabetes, when that used to never happen.  And how 60% of what most people eat includes chemicals that our bodies have never experienced before.—Why your chances of becoming a Type 2 Diabetic increase by over 100% if you are Estrogen-dominant. —How 80% of everyone on Thyroid medications eventually develops Depression.  And how Dr. Prather's office "actually goes much, much further" than the Endocrinologists in testing the Thyroid and by rebuilding the Thyroid to reduce the need for Thyroid medications. —The effectiveness of Chiropractic to release the nerve interference, which has a huge effect on every aspect of the body.  And why the combination of both Structural Care and Functional Care is key to getting the best patient results compared to either one those approaches alone.—Which minerals, herbals, and vitamins are most helpful for getting your blood sugar levels correctly balanced in a non-pharmaceutical way.  And the diagnostics Dr. Prather utilizes to determine exactly what you need and which supplements will work best for your body. —How Acupuncture will cause Cortisol levels to drop and Oxytocin levels to increase, which helps to balance out your body's Endocrine System and Nervous System.—Plus, you'll hear how Vicky, who works in the pharmaceutical industry overseeing research trials, had a dramatic reduction in her dangerous A1C levels after just two months as a patient at Holistic Integration.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

A paediatric endocrinologist believes the Health Ministry's puberty blocker stance is sensible. The Ministry's brief shows a lack of good quality evidence backing the drug's effectiveness and safety for treating gender dysphoria. It says they should only be prescribed by a clinician experienced in gender-affirming care, as part of a team offering a full range of support. Paul Hofman told Mike Hosking puberty blockers are safe and reversible, and have been used by hundreds of thousands of kids in the last 30 years. He says data on its efficacy is poor, which is down to doctors not following up on the treatment, and assuming it will work as intended.

Tired of feeling tired? Think that an endocrinologist is a solution to your problem? Think again. While it may seem intuitive that an endocrinologist, someone who has spent extra time studying about the endocrine system, has more specialized knowledge compared to a primary care provider, you'd be wrong. Endocrinologists do not have the specialized knowledge you think they do and tend to treat every single thyroid patient the same. Here are 5 reasons you will probably get better success with other doctors (plus which ones to see instead): Reason 1. They won't order the right tests. Reason 2. They all treat the same way. Reason 3. They don't have the specialized knowledge you think they do. Reason 4. They are set in their ways. Reason 5. You won't be able to convince them to change. Instead, here are the doctors that you will probably find better results with: - Doctors who specialize in functional medicine, anti-aging medicine, integrative medicine, natural medicine, and naturopaths.
