Dr. Ivan Horak, Founder and CEO of Tikva Allocell, is focused on next-generation allogeneic cell therapies using modified T-cells from healthy donors to make these therapies more scalable, accessible, and affordable. Using virus-specific T-cells, this approach is showing effectiveness against solid tumors, which are difficult for traditional CAR-T therapies to treat. The primary target is an antigen found particularly in Epstein-Barr virus-associated malignancies and is showing potential for treating autoimmune diseases as well as cancer. Ivan explains, "Cell therapy has a long history. We started with many scientists, but probably the godfather of the technology, Zelig Eshhar, who's not with us anymore. He passed away last year. The idea behind that was to use patient cells and modify them and use them as a fighter against the cancer. But over time, we realized over the last two decades that it's very useful, very successful in the treatment of hematologic malignancies, but it's very expensive and labor-intensive. The question was how to enhance this technology and bring it to more patients in a friendly and affordable way." "The second generation are therapies where we are using healthy people's cells, primarily T-cells, but can be NK cells, can be gamma-delta T-cells. And these cells are being modified, and they are infused into a patient. The advantage of this technology is that patients are identified, and the provider can request the cell from different biotechnology companies, which can be available within the next few days, because from one healthy donor, you can make multiple doses for patients." #TikvaAllocell #CellTherapy #CancerResearch #Immunotherapy #Biotechnology #Biotech #Innovation #ClinicalTrials #AllogeneicTherapy #Allogeneic #SolidTumors #NextGenTherapy #PrecisionMedicine #CellTherapy #CART #Oncology #ImmuneOncology #CellandGeneTherapy tikvaallocell.com Download the transcript here

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Ryan: First off, I would like to say thanks for all that you do in supporting a healthy community, it's greatly appreciated. My question has to do with what and how much physical activity should you do while you are sick, along with what additional health modalities would you suggest. When you are sick or feeling like you're getting sick, do you continue hitting your 10,000 steps per day? Weight lift? Cardio? HIIT? Continue working out but at a reduced intensity? Should you substitute some activity for red light? Sauna? Yoga? And how would this differ from a cold to a fever? Thanks again! Ann: Hi Dr. Cabral and as always thank you for being such a champion for us out here :) A friend swears that Milk Thistle helped her when she was battling liver cancer. I have NAFLD and am working to reduce it, and besides the ways you have outlined to help (episode 3017), I'm wondering if milk thistle could be a good addition? Thank you so much - have a blessed day:) Dawn Marie: Hi, Dr. Cabral. I had mono as a child, and again in 2023 when I was 48 years of age. In 2023, I was on day 17 of the detox when the mono re-emerged and I was quite sick, almost requiring hospitalization--liver enzymes quite high, thickening of gallbladder walls, and enlarged spleen. My doctor actually wrote me a referral to a surgeon to likely have my gall bladder removed! Thank goodness, after years of listening to your podcasts, I knew to do some research and discovered that after I recovered from the mono, all would return to normal and they did. My understanding is that Epstein-Barr "lives" in the liver and is difficult to fully heal from. I'd like to "kick it out" for good. Is there a way to fully heal from EBV? Is there any risk of it re-emerging if I try to do another 21-day detox? Dylaini: Hi Dr Cabral! Thanks for all you do, you're a wealth of knowledge! I am working with a lot of tinnitus clients and some claim it's from being in the military and being exposed to loud noises, do you think this is simply a "stress" on the body and isn't necessarily a permeant issue from being exposed to loud noises? Thanks again! Josephine: Hi Dr Cabral, you've been an amazing ing help to me over the years, thank you. I'm a 44year old woman living in Australia. I have idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis (IGH) on my legs and arms. I get this much more so than brown pigment spots. I understand sun protection is the best way to prevent this, however I'm wondering if you have any tips for how to treat it (most sources say pigment won't come back) and also what supplements or topical treatments (excluding sunscreen) might make the skin less susceptible.

Your energy, mood, and focus don't have to be a mystery. We sit down with Dr. Kevin Smith, a board-certified functional medicine practitioner, to unpack the thyroid's real role in midlife health and why so many women are told “your labs look fine” while symptoms persist. From brain fog and anxiety to constipation, weight shifts, and burnout, we map how thyroid hormones act as the body's metabolic gas pedal—and what goes wrong when the system breaks down.We explore hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and why a large share of people with low thyroid function are actually dealing with Hashimoto's, an autoimmune process. Dr. Smith explains why a TSH-only approach misses crucial steps like T4-to-T3 conversion in the liver and gut, the transport of hormones via thyroid binding globulin, and the impact of inflammation on receptor sites. We dig into hidden triggers that keep you stuck: anemia and iron deficiencies, insulin resistance, cortisol imbalances, sex hormone shifts during perimenopause and menopause, chronic infections like Epstein–Barr, and exposure to endocrine disruptors—yes, even in everyday cosmetics.You'll hear how functional medicine builds a complete picture with broader lab panels, targeted nutrient support, and personalized plans that go beyond symptom chasing. We talk practical moves you can make now: balancing blood sugar, optimizing sleep and protein, choosing cleaner skincare and makeup, and testing smarter to uncover underconversion or transport issues. If you've ever felt dismissed by “normal” labs while your body says otherwise, this conversation offers clarity and a roadmap you can act on.If this episode helped you connect the dots, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs answers, and leave a quick review so more women can find their path to better thyroid health.Bio Dr. Kevin Smith is a board-certified chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner who has been in practice since 2001. He is also a public speaker and published author, with his second book on functional medicine set to release later this year.Dr. Smith specializes in identifying and treating complex or misdiagnosed chronic conditions without drugs or surgery. Many patients seek his care after feeling frustrated by limited results from traditional medical approaches.Rather than masking symptoms, Dr. Smith uses a functional medicine model to uncover and address the root causes of illness — helping patients restore health by identifying and eliminating underlying triggers.Social Media LinkedInTwitterFacebookWebsitehttps://www.chronicpa.com/Thank you for listening to the V.I.B.E.

What if burnout, inflammation, and "doing everything right" but still feeling awful isn't a failure—just a missing map? In this episode of Unconventional Life, host Jules Schroeder sits down with functional medicine expert, genetic strategist, and stand-up comic Dr. Sam Shay. Together, they unpack why health optimization breaks down during major life transitions, how functional medicine bridges data and lived experience, and why inflammation, genetics, and nervous system load are often the real root issues. This episode is for anyone navigating midlife transitions, chronic symptoms, or energy crashes—and it matters because without a roadmap, even the best tools won't get you where you're trying to go.
Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Let's dive into the latest happenings in this dynamic industry.Starting with a look at the projected launch of top drugs anticipated in 2026, it's fascinating to see how these developments are poised to influence the market. These drugs could collectively generate a substantial $45.9 billion in annual sales by 2032, underscoring their economic impact and potential to address unmet medical needs. This reflects a robust pipeline of innovative treatments, marking significant therapeutic advancements on the horizon.Regulatory actions continue to be a pivotal force in shaping market dynamics. The FDA's recent issuance of complete response letters to Aquestive Therapeutics and Pharming resulted in contrasting market reactions, with Aquestive's shares rising while Pharming's declined. This scenario highlights the critical role of regulatory decisions in shaping company fortunes and investor confidence. Additionally, the FDA has introduced a precheck manufacturing program aimed at streamlining domestic drug production processes. This initiative is part of a broader trend to bolster U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturing capabilities amid global supply chain concerns, reflecting an effort to reduce complexities associated with setting up manufacturing plants domestically.In the realm of policy debates, there's notable discord among Trump administration officials over the future of COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S. market. This internal division could have far-reaching implications for public health strategies and vaccine accessibility, emphasizing ongoing challenges in pandemic management and policy alignment.Turning to scientific innovation, Daiichi Sankyo's development of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) has faced some setbacks. The company has discontinued an internal next-wave candidate and is experiencing delays in pivotal phase 3 trial readouts for its AstraZeneca-partnered candidate, Datroway. Despite these challenges, ADCs remain a promising area of oncology research due to their targeted therapeutic potential.Positive regulatory feedback from the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has provided a boost for companies like Novo Nordisk and Amgen. Novo Nordisk received approval for semaglutide for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), highlighting its potential to address this liver disease with limited treatment options. Conversely, Amgen's Tavneos faces a re-review due to data integrity concerns, illustrating the rigorous scrutiny that accompanies pharmaceutical approvals and the importance of maintaining data integrity throughout development.Sanofi's pipeline reflects mixed outcomes as its GCS inhibitor failed a phase 3 trial for Fabry disease but showed promise in Gaucher disease. This underscores the inherent uncertainties and challenges faced in drug development, where promising candidates may not always meet clinical expectations.In broader scientific research, AstraZeneca identified 22 genes potentially linked to chronic diseases following Epstein-Barr virus infection. This finding advances our understanding of viral pathogenesis and its long-term health impacts, potentially guiding future therapeutic interventions.These developments illustrate a dynamic landscape where scientific innovation, regulatory oversight, and market forces converge to shape the future of healthcare. Breakthrough technologies and new therapeutic approaches hold promise for improving patient care and advancing drug development. However, navigating complex regulatory environments and addressing data integrity concerns remain critical challenges that companies must overcome to bring these innovations to market successfully.On another front, Roche's substantial $1.7 billion deal with Sanegene marks its re-engageSupport the show

Why are thyroid disorders becoming so common? Why do so many people feel exhausted, foggy, and inflamed even when their labs are labeled "normal"? And is Hashimoto's truly a lifelong condition, or are we missing what actually drives it? In our latest podcast episode, I sit down with Dr. Anshul Gupta, a board-certified physician and functional medicine expert, to unpack what is really happening behind thyroid dysfunction and autoimmune thyroid disease. We break down hypothyroidism versus hyperthyroidism, why Hashimoto's is the most common cause, and which thyroid tests actually matter, including TSH, free T3, free T4, and thyroid antibodies. From there, the conversation widens. We explore the roles of gut health, mitochondrial dysfunction, toxins, stress, and viral triggers like Epstein-Barr and COVID, and why treating the thyroid alone often falls short. Dr. Gupta shares insights from his clinical experience and transition into functional medicine, offering a more complete framework for understanding and supporting thyroid health. Key takeaways: Comprehensive Thyroid Testing: Beyond TSH, a complete thyroid panel including free T3, free T4, and specific antibodies is crucial for an accurate thyroid health assessment. Role of Mitochondria: The health of mitochondria is vital for thyroid function, affecting energy metabolism critical for managing thyroid disorders. Impact of Stress: Chronic stress is a significant factor contributing to thyroid dysfunction, emphasizing the need for daily stress management techniques. Functional Medicine Approach: Dr. Gupta's use of functional medicine emphasizes treating the root causes of thyroid problems, especially targeting lifestyle and dietary changes. Environmental and Dietary Toxins: A deeper understanding of how exposure to toxins and dietary inadequacies affect thyroid health and overall metabolic function.

Dr. Deb Muth 0:03There’s a quiet shift happening in healthcare right now, and most doctors aren’t talking about it yet. People aren’t chasing diagnoses anymore. They’re exhausted by them. I see it every single day in my clinic. People who come in with stacks of paperwork, portals full of results, and a list of diagnoses longer than their grocery receipt, yet they’re still not living their lives. And they’ll say to me, Dr. Deb, I don’t want another label. Dr. Deb Muth 0:32 I just want my life back. If you’ve ever been told this is just how your body is, if you’ve been diagnosed, rediagnosed, and then dismissed, if you’ve been handed labels but never handed a roadmap, today’s episode is for you. Because we are officially entering what I call the post diagnosis era and it’s changing everything about how healing actually happens. So grab your cup of coffee or tea and let’s settle in to let’s talk wellness. Now, before we dive in, we need to take a quick pause to thank today’s sponsor. And when we come back, we’re going to talk about why diagnoses are no longer the most important thing about you. Dr. Deb Muth 1:17Did you know sweating can literally heal your cells? And infrared saunas don’t just relax you, they detox your body, balance hormones, and boost mitochondrial energy. I’m obsessed with my health tech sauna, and right now you can save $500 with my code at healthtechhealth.com Dr. Muth req 25 so here’s some truth for me. Dr. Deb Muth 0:47It was three years ago Christmas that I received my Ms. Diagnosis. And I remember it very clearly. It was the day before, two days before Christmas Eve, that I got the call and I heard the words, you have white matter brain disease. That’s consistent with Ms. And I immediately stopped in my tracks and thought, okay, well, this is just the way it is. We’re gonna fight this. We’re gonna figure this out. And it led me down a deeper path of healing and spirituality and emotional growth. And there were some really difficult days ahead for me because I remember thinking, what am I gonna do? How am I gonna practice what’s going to happen in my life? And every year at this time, I reflect back to that day that I got the call that really changed my life. And not for the worse, but for the better. It changed the way I was thinking about life. Dr. Deb Muth 3:01It changed the way I was complaining about things being ungrateful for all the amazing things that I have in my life. Not intentionally, but just living the American life. Right. Dr. Deb Muth 3:14And striving for more and wanting more and chasing more and doing more, and never really having the opportunity to just be present and just really think about life and enjoy what the Lord has given us and enjoy what’s around me, the people in my life, the family that I have, the amazing practice that I have, and the amazing people I get to work with and change lives with. And it really changed me for the better. And I’ve watched diagnoses like this change people for the worse and for them to sink deep into a depression and give up and. And live to their label instead of living to their potential. And that’s why I think this episode is so important for us, because we all have a choice in life. When we get dealt something kind of difficult, we can let it consume us and let it take every ounce of life from us, or we can allow it to become the fuel that makes us better, makes us contribute to life maybe differently, but in a better way. So, you know, I know that this idea of letting diagnoses lose their power can be really uncomfortable for some people, because there’s people that are waiting for that diagnosis. I’m in some. Some social media groups, and I’m listening and reading to people who are saying, I’m so angry I didn’t get the Ms. Diagnosis today. I’m so angry I didn’t get the Lyme diagnosis today. I’m so upset that they can’t find anything wrong with me. And I understand. Dr. Deb Muth 5:20I know the feeling of wanting to put a name to what you’re feeling so that you have validation and you have power around this diagnosis, and you can prove to people that what you’re feeling is not in your head. I get all of that. But for many people, the original diagnosis is meant to help guide treatment in the conventional sense. It’s a created, shared language that we have, and it brings clarity. But for many people, you give that label and that name so much power and so much control over your life and who you are and what you’re being. And that’s not what the label is meant for. Somewhere along the line, medicine started confusing naming with healing. And today, we have more diagnoses than ever. We have more testing than ever. We have so many thousands of specialists, and yet people are sicker. They’re more inflamed, they’re more exhausted, they’re more confused than ever. And that’s not just a coincidence. That is how the system is meant to work. It’s meant to confuse you. Dr. Deb Muth 6:44It’s meant to keep you dependent on it. It’s meant to. Meant to keep you on medical management for the rest of your life. And by doing that, we enrich the pharmaceutical companies to the point where their whole role is to continue to create drugs that you need to be on for the rest of your life. And the hard truth about all of this that I’ve seen in my practice is for many patients, the diagnosis really becomes their identity. They own it, they gravitate to it. It’s who they are. It also becomes their prison because they only live confined inside the diagnosis. I can’t do this because I can’t do that, because if I do this, this will happen, because I have. They’ve capped their ceiling of life based on a couple of words that somebody gave them at a point in their life when they were so low and potentially so desperate that they needed that name to identify themselves and what was going on. And instead of asking, why is this happening? Dr. Deb Muth 8:05Why are these symptoms happening? What’s causing these symptoms? They’re told, this is what you have, and this is what you’re going to have to live with. And instead of restoring function, these people become managed. Like I said, they’re managed with drugs. They’re managed inside the system. And instead of healing, they’re monitored with this blood test and that blood test and this MRI and that mri. Instead of providing hope, they’re handed a lifelong prescription with expectations that do nothing but decline. So you walk out of that room with this expectation that your life is never going to be the same, that your function is going to decline, your neurological disease is going to take over eventually, you’re going to be put in a home, you’re going to lose everything you have because you’re not going to be able to afford the care that you need. And that’s the expectations of our healthcare system today. When you’re labeled with a chronic illness diagnosis, and for a woman, especially women, this is magnified because their symptoms are told to them as. It’s stress, it’s hormones, it’s anxiety, it’s aging, it’s motherhood, and then, of course, it’s perimenopause. Like that is some major traumatic thing that should disrupt your entire life. Yet it shouldn’t, and it does, and it doesn’t have to. And of course, my favorite is always, but your labs are normal. We don’t know what’s wrong with you. It must just be in your head. Dr. Deb Muth 9:53And this is why women are done being dismissed, why this shift is happening now that we are empowering women to take back Their lives, take back who they are and take back how they’re being treated in the healthcare system. And it is one of the most important things that we can do right now is to give women their power back so that they can stand strong in who they are and in their intuition and fight and say, no, this is not happening to me right now. I am not accepting this label. I’m not accepting this diagnosis. I will fight, I will find answers, and I will do what I need to do to be the woman that I want to be. So why is this conversation exploding right now? Well, there’s actually three big reasons, and first and foremost, it’s over. Diagnosis, burnout. People are collecting diagnoses without solutions. Autoimmune labels, syndromes, vague neurological names, but no one’s connecting the dots. Dr. Deb Muth 11:02You see, when you start to stack these labels on top of each other, one after the next after the next, you know, it’s celiac disease, it’s Hashimoto’s, it’s fibromyalgia, it’s autoimmune. You know, rheumatoid arthritis. It’s. Whatever it is, it’s long haul Covid. These days, no one is putting these connections together to say, why are you developing so many diseases that are so similar in nature, ones that just kind of domino after each other? Nobody’s looking at your immune system. Nobody’s measuring it, Nobody’s telling you how well it’s working. No one’s supporting it. They’re just throwing these biological drugs at you. And if there’s an autoimmune disease and sending you on your way and saying, this is what you have to look forward to for the rest of your life. But don’t worry, these side effects are rare, including cancer. It does not make sense to me that we are not looking at the root cause for all of these crazy diagnoses that we are labeling people with today. And I am guilty of it myself, because within the system that we work, we have to label something in order for you to receive the care that you need, for your insurance, to pay for the treatment, for the tests, for the visits. There has to be a label. And that’s what we call an ICD10 code. And if we don’t have the appropriate label, none of what we’re recommending gets covered for you. And that’s the label game began. The second thing is long haul Covid. And post viral illnesses. Dr. Deb Muth 12:47Millions of people were told, we don’t know why, and then we sent them home to figure it out by themselves. We don’t know why your immune system is failing, we don’t know why you’re having these clotting issues that are happening. But don’t worry, these clotting issues really are not that severe. They’re mild in nature. You’ll never have to worry about it. And we’re not going to treat it even though it’s four times the level that’s normal, because we’re going to wait until it’s 10 times the level of normal to even worry about it at this point. Dr. Deb Muth 13:19And it will take us 25 to 30 years before we understand any of the risks and barriers that have happened from these post viral illnesses that have occurred in our environment and the ones that are in the future to come. Because it takes time for us to study things, it takes time for us to figure it out, takes time for us to train the practitioners, and it takes time for us to accept something different than we thought was reality. And that is the problem that we have today with these post viral illnesses that are long acting, that are retriggering new viruses, retriggering old illnesses like Lyme, reactivating things like Epstein Barr virus. It will take decades before this becomes mainstream. And right now it’s fringe medicine and it’s not realistic. And those of us that are speaking about it are chastised and gone after, but by our medical communities and we are told that we are the crazy ones. And that is how medicine has always been. Way in the beginning, and I forget the doctor’s name, who started just observing that when medical students worked on cadavers and then came into the labor and delivery ward and delivered babies, these women were getting sick with infections and they were dying. And he said, what if we just washed our hands between the cadaver and the delivery? Would we save lives? And he did a small study and he was right. And over time he was made fun of and he was put into insane asylums and he was locked away. And now today we would never think of entering a room and working on a patient without washing our hands beforehand. But that took 30 years for that one concept of washing hands to be adopted. And it destroyed one man’s life because he simply asked the question, what if it’s a crazy society that we live in, It’s a crazy outlook that we have on medicine and asking questions. And sometimes I wonder, is it truly science or is it politically driven? And I think the answer is it’s both. And the third thing that we have is technology. And technology is outpacing wisdom by far. Hands down, AI, advanced labs and imaging can identify everything. Now using AI, but without context, it creates a fear. Dr. Deb Muth 16:08And instead of clarity, without context, using AI to interpret labs makes absolutely no sense. Without context and understanding and us actually training this LLM model, the AI doesn’t really know what it, what it means. And someday it will, I’m sure, but right now it doesn’t. So as everyone is taking to AI to treat themselves and create a protocol and diagnose themselves and understand their labs and know that it is without context that you are doing this, and research is wonderful, but without having somebody truly understand you and the art of healing and the art of medicine, this is going to get lost and you will not have the information that you truly need simply by using chat GPT. Now I’ve created my own version called Venari and I hope that this will be much better because it will have context. It will have 15,000 protocols that I have used for the last 25 years. It will have lots of research. It has all of the research databases that we can connect to. It has training that I have given it using my brain and how I see a client every single day in practice. So when you’re using our Venari app, you will be able to have that context. You will be able to have that pushback and that voice. And not only that, you will have the option then to work alongside someone to help you identify that context that you’re looking for. Does this make sense? Dr. Deb Muth 17:53I’ve seen this a lot in the peptide world, where in these Facebook groups, people are talking about the peptide stacks that they’re using and they’re telling people that it’s okay to use any peptide you want because they’re just small chain branch amino acids. And that can’t be farther from the truth because there are some peptides you would not want to use because they can stimulate the growth of cells. And if you have cancer or if you have a history of this, there are some peptides that we need to avoid. And unfortunately, AI doesn’t understand that yet and doesn’t know that yet. And it’s just creating stacks. And people are creating stacks without understanding what they’re doing. And I watched my best friend do this as she was learning peptides and she had cancer and it created an aggressive sarcoma. And I believe the peptides had a lot to do with that because it stimulated the growth of the cells. And it wasn’t until after she had passed away that we found this journal of hers that she was studying peptides and recognized that this could have contributed to her advanced cancer. And if you don’t have that context and you’re using AI to create these stacks for you, you can put yourself in harm’s way. And so AI technology, I think, is going to be fantastic in a lot of ways. It’s going to have its downfalls. And you’re going to need an expert when you’re using AI. You’re not going to just be able to treat yourself with this. You know, understanding that more data doesn’t always equal healing, and more data can be helpful. But again, you have to understand how to put those pieces together, how to ask the right question questions. And for that, you need somebody who has seen thousands and thousands of cases to find the missing pieces for you. Because AI is not going to do that unless it’s been trained to do that. Vanari has been trained to do that. Dr. Deb Muth 20:01It’s been trained to push back and look at lime and mold and toxins and chemicals and metals and all of those things. But there is no other AI bot out there, LLM that has been trained to do that using clinical data that I use every single day in my practice. And people are finally realizing that, you know, they’re understanding that although this world of AI and technology is amazing, it has its limitations, just like practitioners have their limitations. We don’t know everything. We are not perfect. We are human. And humans make errors and we miss things. With or without technology, we miss things. And part of it is because we just don’t know what we don’t know yet. And sometimes it’s because we have our blinders on, and sometimes it’s just simply because we don’t have the information today that we’re going to have five years from now. And here’s what I teach instead. I teach the seenet last. And that’s what we built it on. Restore and root. Rise and restore. Sorry, that is my methodology. And it’s in the scene at last book. And it starts with healing. It starts with asking better questions. So instead of asking, what do you have? We want to ask, what has your body been exposed to? What symptoms are underperforming? What’s driving the inflammation for you? When you have joint pain and you have muscle pain and you have achiness, that is not normal. Dr. Deb Muth 21:38I don’t care if you’re 20 or you’re 80, it is not normal. And yes, I did say 80, because we are not supposed to have that kind of inflammation at 80. And why are we underperforming? Why is our Brain not working correctly? Why is our mood not working? Why can’t my body push up a hill? Why can’t I lift 10 pounds? What’s going on? Why can’t I recover from that activity? What’s interfering with my ability to repair and heal after I’ve done some things that I need to do? What’s keeping your nervous system stuck in this survival mode, in this fight or flight mode? Why can’t I get past that? Sometimes that answer is really simple and sometimes that answer, it is so hard and so complicated and it is so many things that are causing this body to be stuck. And sometimes it’s a six month fix, and sometimes it’s a six year fix and sometimes it’s decades long. And it is one of the most challenging things as a practitioner to get clients to understand and to be on the other side of the table and not get you that quick fix. It is extremely difficult for us as well when we are not seeing the results that we think we should see. We need to focus on function over diagnosis, root cause over labels. Dr. Deb Muth 23:09What is driving all this inflammation and certainly restoration over resignation. Do not resign to the fact that you have this life altering disease that is never going to change. Because if we find the root and we restore the body, you don’t have to live in that death sentence that you’ve been given of a diagnosis, whether it’s fibromyalgia, MS, Alzheimer’s disease, celiac disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, it does not matter what that diagnosis is. We can change it, we can make it better, we can reduce the symptoms, we can improve your life. Maybe not in ways that you are absolutely looking for, maybe not in a perfect world, but we can change the trajectory of where your life is going. And it’s because you’re not an ICD9 code or an ICD10 code. You’re not a code, you’re not an MRI result, you’re not a lab result, you’re a human body asking support, not a name. And I say that with a little hesitation because so many people are looking for the name. So many people are angry that someone didn’t find the name. I have clients that come to me that are so angry that the conventional medicine system did not identify their Lyme disease, that they’re looking for someone to sue and there is no one to sue because they didn’t find it, because sometimes they just don’t know. You’re asking for conventional medicine, practitioner and system to provide for you a label that is not within their wheelhouse to do. Because the way they treat Lyme disease and the way an eyelads practitioner looks at Lyme disease and has. Has the ability to test differently are two very different things. Dr. Deb Muth 25:27You’re asking for a system to perform in a way that they are not trained and guided to do. Then you’re looking and asking for somebody to place blame for an illness that you have, that you have yet taken ownership for. And I know that sounds harsh, and I know there’s going to be a lot of people that are angry at me for saying that. But I sit in front of you as someone who had Lyme disease, who had mold mycotoxin illness, who had high viral titers, who had post Covid peripheral neuropathy, who had the diagnosis of ms, who has white matter brain disease, who treated all of it not in the conventional world, who has halted the white matter disease and regrew her brain by 1.5 standard deviations, which is unheard of in 18 months. So I can say this to you. There is no one to blame for your lack of diagnosis or your diagnosis. It is life. It is what happens to us. And you have a choice at the crossroad to either take the path of hatred and anger and bitterness and blame and never getting better a result of that, or you have the ability to take the path of curiosity and openness and willingness to change and willingness to walk down a path that is different than what the conventional medicine is telling you to do. And those are your choices and you get to make those choices. But what you don’t get to do is blame some someone else and try to destroy them for something that they are not able to do. That is not what we get to do in this life. Dr. Deb Muth 27:29It is not right and it is not fair. If someone has truly injured you, that’s different. That’s different. But this looking to blame somebody because they didn’t give you a label, Ridiculous in my opinion. And if you’re listening and thinking right now, I’ve been diagnosed, but I’m not better, I want you to hear this clearly. You are not broken. You are not crazy, and you are not done. Sometimes the most healing moment isn’t getting that diagnosis. It’s realizing that the diagnosis was never the whole story. And that’s where the real healing begins. When we look at the entire story, we look at your entire life from the beginning to where you are now and what has happened to get you there. And once we get that, then we can put you back together. Not in the old way, in a new way in an amazing way, in a way that you would cherish your life for every moment that you have of it. Good, bad and ugly. A diagnosis should not be the doorway. It’s not a dead end. It is just the beginning. Remember, you don’t need another diagnosis. You need your life back. And that’s what’s important. Dr. Deb Muth 29:19We are living in a moment where medicine is being forced to evolve not because systems want to, but because patients are demanding better. This post diagnosis era isn’t about rejecting science, it’s about using it wisely. It’s about restoring function, dignity and hope. And I hope that if this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who’s been labeled but not yet helped. Because sometimes the most powerful healing starts when someone finally feels seen.

I am honored to connect with Dr. Neil Nathan today. Dr. Nathan has been practicing medicine for over 50 years. He is board-certified in family medicine and pain management, a founding diplomat of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine, and a founding member of the International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness. He is also a published author and has recently released an updated and expanded version of his book, Toxic: Heal Your Body from Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, and Chronic Environmental Illness. In our discussion, we explore various complex medical illnesses and the effects of mold, chronic inflammation, immunosenescence, and genetics on the immune system, vagus nerve, and limbic system. We discuss mold exposure and colonization, and what that means for midlife women, along with MCAS, Lyme disease, and mast cell degranulation, and we examine Epstein-Barr as a symptom rather than a primary driver. We also cover limbic and vagal retraining, and Dr. Nathan shares his systematic approach to supporting the adrenal glands and to detoxification efforts in treatment. This episode with the renowned Dr. Neil Nathan is like a mini masterclass on complex medical illnesses. I found his book super-informative and probably the most systematic source I've ever read on mold, Lyme, and complex medical problems. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: • How our current medical system fails to support complex patients • How limited appointment times prevent root-cause investigation • What mold colonization means and why its location in the body matters • Why leaving a moldy environment does not always resolve symptoms • How Epstein-Barr often signals immune dysfunction rather than causing it • Why limbic retraining is essential in today's world • Dr. Nathan shares his systematic approach to adrenal support • Practical steps to support liver, gut, kidney, and lymphatic detoxification • Why addressing mold and Candida must precede SIBO treatment Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community (The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow) Cynthia's Menopause Gut Book is on presale now!

Inflammatory Bowel Disease is often explained as a “gut issue” or something managed solely with immune-suppressing medications. But the science tells a much deeper story. In this episode of Wholistic Living, we break down what actually drives IBD at the immune, genetic, and microbial level, including mechanisms that are rarely discussed in conventional care.You'll learn:Why certain genetic SNPs (like NOD2, ATG16L1, IL23R, CARD9, and FUT2) make some people far more susceptible to chronic gut inflammationHow loss of key probiotic strains and microbial metabolites can lock the immune system into an inflammatory loopThe emerging role of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and the gut virome in worsening disease severityWhy fungi, oral bacteria, and barrier dysfunction matter far more than most people realize How IBD progresses beyond simple flare-and-remission cyclesThis episode connects cutting-edge immunology research with real-world clinical insight to help you understand why IBD behaves the way it does, and why a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works. If you or someone you love is navigating Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, this conversation will change how you think about inflammation, gut health, and personalized healing.Equip Foods Grass-fed beef protein - Code: MARLAWant to work with me? email me to health@holisticspring.com

Dr. Streit has trained with internationally recognized leaders in healthcare, completed postdoctoral work through the American Institute of Postural Neurology, and teaches pathology and functional medicine for the University of Integrative Health doctoral program. With nearly two decades of clinical experience, he has supported patients across a wide range of chronic health challenges. To bring these insights to the many still struggling without answers, he wrote "Silent Spark: An Unseen Force Fueling Chronic Illness and How to Heal", a book that sheds light on the often-overlooked deepest roots keeping people sick. Key Takeaways: What are microglia and their role in chronic illness? What are the M1 and M2 states of the microglia? What symptoms or conditions may be associated with chronically activated microglia? What cytokines and interleukins do microglia produce? Is there any testing available to explore microglial activation? What are the most common triggers of the microglia? Can the microglia remain activated long after the threat is gone? What are the primary roles of the microglia? What conditions are associated with under-pruning or over-pruning? Does microglial activation overlap with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome? Does the limbic system play a role in microglial activation? How has COVID further complicated the microglial conversation? What is the role of the microglia in neurodegenerative conditions? Does the external environment play a role in triggering the microglia? What is the gut-brain-microglial axis? How do hormones impact the microglia? Can EMR/EMFs be a trigger for the microglia? What is the role of chronic stress in microglial activation? Do the microglia play a role in pain syndromes or seizures? What treatment options are available to support the microglia?

In this eye-opening episode of The Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, Lisa Fischer speaks with Heather Gordon about her unconventional path to healing after years of unexplained symptoms. Heather shares how concerns around breast implant illness led her to uncover deeper root causes—including fragrance toxicity, long COVID, nervous system dysregulation, and viral reactivation—and how the nicotine patch protocol became a surprising turning point in her recovery. Together, they explore why many women are misdiagnosed in midlife, the hidden health risks of synthetic fragrances, the role of circadian rhythm and light exposure, and why true wellness often requires questioning mainstream advice. This candid conversation offers hope, practical insights, and a new lens on women's health, healing, and personal empowerment.

In this Homeopathy 247 podcast episode, Mary talks with Dr. Maha Mansour about Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) – what it is, why it's so hard to live with, and how individualised homoeopathy can help people become less reactive, more resilient and more confident in everyday life. What is MCAS? MCAS happens when mast cells (a part of the immune system) release histamine and other chemicals too easily. Instead of reacting only to real threats, the body may overreact to things like: Foods Smells and chemicals in shops or other homes Infections Hormonal changes Environmental toxins such as mould Because mast cells are found all over the body, symptoms can affect many systems at once – gut, skin, nerves, energy and emotions. People may have: Reactions to many foods Bloating, diarrhoea or gut pain Rashes or itching Fatigue Anxiety, depression or panic attacks Many feel unsafe leaving the house or eating outside their very limited "safe" foods. Why MCAS is Hard to Diagnose Dr. Mansour explains that MCAS is tricky to confirm with tests: Histamine and other mediators usually rise only during a flare If the blood test is taken on a "good" day, results may look normal Doctors must combine three things: Lab results (when taken at the right time) Symptoms in multiple organs Improvement with antihistamines or steroids This makes diagnosis slow and confusing. Many people are told there is "nothing wrong" even though they are clearly unwell. How Homeopathic Care Can Support MCAS Most people with MCAS have already tried conventional medicine and been offered mainly antihistamines and steroids. Dr. Mansour describes a different, more holistic approach: A full history from pregnancy onwards Careful attention to emotional trauma, stress and life events Looking at gut, hormones, infections and environmental triggers A constitutional remedy is chosen to match the whole person. Over time, this can: Reduce how often flares happen Make flares milder and easier to manage Help the body cope better with everyday triggers Support mood, anxiety and overall energy Mary emphasises that homeopathic treatment is long-term and individual – not a quick, one-remedy fix. Detox, Triggers and "Obstacles to Cure" Sometimes a remedy helps for a while, then seems to stop working. Dr. Mansour calls this an "obstacle to cure". Common obstacles include: "Never well since" events such as COVID, a vaccine, Epstein–Barr virus or mould exposure Long-standing emotional trauma Problems breaking down histamine (methylation issues) In these cases, she may: Use a homeopathic detox – a gentle course of remedies made from the suspected trigger (such as a vaccine or mould) in ascending potencies Support organs of elimination – liver, kidneys, lymph and especially the gut Work slowly and carefully so as not to overwhelm sensitive people The aim is to clear what's blocking progress so the main constitutional remedy can act more deeply. Working Gently with Very Sensitive Patients Many MCAS clients are even sensitive to remedies themselves. Dr. Mansour describes flexible ways of dosing: Very dilute "5-cup" or "10-cup" methods Liquid remedies instead of dry pellets LM potencies for gentler changes Tiny doses, such as just smelling a remedy Even "paper" remedies, where the name is written on paper and kept close by, as a starting point for very anxious clients Over time, many people can move from these ultra-gentle methods to taking remedies more normally – another sign that their system is becoming less reactive. A Message of Hope Dr. Mansour's key message is that MCAS is manageable. With patient, individualised care, people can: Have fewer and milder flares Expand their diet Feel safer going outside, visiting others and living more freely Improve relationships and family life as anxiety and exhaustion lessen Mary closes by reminding listeners that emergency situations still need urgent medical care, but that exploring this kind of holistic support can be genuinely life-changing.

At the age of 14, Michaela Janssen Pohl became a caregiver for her mother, who lives with MS. I think most of us can agree that just being a teenager carries with it more than enough challenges. Those adolescent years are the years when just about everything in life starts changing. Imagine adding the responsibilities of being a caregiver to all the other things going on in a 14-year-old girl's life. Michaela joins me this week to explain how she found ways to survive and thrive in what can only be described as a challenging situation for any teenager. We'll also explain why you might want to think a little differently about Giving Tuesday this year. We're sharing all the details about the Phase 2 clinical trial focusing on Moderna's investigational Epstein-Barr vaccine and MS (and we'll explain why that might turn out to be important!)

Episode 332 For only the second time, the genome of an ancient Denisovan has been sequenced - thanks to the discovery of a 200,000-year-old tooth found in a Siberian cave. This ancient member of the human family has long been a mystery, so this genome is being described as a bombshell moment, revealing an early stage of Denisovan history. We explore how this reshapes our understanding about the origins of our species. Some 95 per cent of us have a dormant virus, lurking in our bodies - waiting to strike when the moment's right. Epstein-Barr virus causes glandular fever - also known as mono or kissing disease - but only in a small number of people. Though new evidence is showing that even dormant viruses may still cause long term health problems. Formula E electric race cars may have surpassed their fossil fuel counterparts. From greater efficiency to faster acceleration, this is a big turning point for the sport - but they don't have the edge on F1 cars in all areas just yet. We find out where they're winning and where they're falling behind - and how this could translate to better electric road cars for us.

In today's episode, we're talking about back-to-school hygiene. Countless kids miss months of school and sports seasons because of mono each year, which is brought on by Epstein-Barr virus, also known as the kissing virus. But it could just as easily be the drink sharing virus. Just one sip is enough to go from no strep to strep throat, which will be followed by a round of antibiotics and then increased susceptibility to a host of immune challenges and allergies because of the antibiotics. Let's talk about what's really going on when kids share cups, and how to keep your family healthier this school year. ➡️Download 16 Delicious Goat Whey Recipes https://drwholeness.ac-page.com/goat-whey -------- Connect with Dr. Matt online:

Even to this day, the health and wellness communities are unaware of the hidden epidemic. The medical communities are unaware, the trendy bio hack communities are unaware and the health authorities are unaware. The hidden epidemic isn't the Covid virus, it's the stealth viruses that have invaded humankind in the last 100 years by design of classified medical research and science, the very body of science that engineered the Covid virus and every flu virus since the early 1900's. Stealth viruses such as the Epstein-Barr virus, shingles virus and more have been making life hell for millions on Planet Earth. These viruses, along with others, have caused everything from thyroid disease to chronic fatigue syndrome and hundreds of symptoms. In this episode, learn how the hidden epidemic works... In this episode… Learn what the hidden epidemic is and when and how it started. See how the health industry doesn't understand chronic illness or the true causes. Discover what neurotoxins are and how they affect the body. Find out how there are many different varieties of viruses and how someone can carry around multiple varieties inside them. Learn how strep works and what causes acne. Be aware of what the health industry really cares about and how it isn't about the chronically ill.

What comes around goes around and around and around again. Guess what's back… urine therapy. It's a trend that has come and gone for over 40 years in the alternative health movement. The sad part is, drinking your own pee never worked. One problem is that social media doctors and influencers still unfortunately don't know why so many people are really sick and suffering. It's just recently, in the last couple of years, that these health professionals and influencers have been getting some clues that all of these chronic illness symptoms are really neurological symptoms, not a lack of collagen or a lack of protein or because of too much omega 6's. A wake up call came many years ago from the Medical Medium information, illuminating the true causes of chronic illness, such as Epstein Barr virus, other pathogens and toxic metals. News Flash! Urine Therapy does not fix it. This is an episode you don't want to miss. It's classic, timeless, extremely informative and another great way to learn how to protect yourself. It's even advertiser-free and commercial-free listening. Many blessings. In this episode… Learn how urine therapy keeps resurfacing and regaining attention over the decades, same as it is doing now, especially when chronic illness is widespread and there is lack of clear answers in mainstream media. Discover how urine therapy gained recognition and popularity not because of any proven results, but because of there being no viable solutions in alternative and conventional health for chronic illness. Uncover why people are injecting urine into their body, and why this can be a very dangerous practice. Learn how a lack of understanding of root causes to chronic illness may lead to experimental treatments by practitioners. Discover the harmful immune responses that your body can have to foreign invaders. Nutrients that are normally beneficial can become hazardous when misused. Find out why the body dispels urine and how reintroducing it to the body can lead to harmful liver responses and confusion of bodily functions.

Story at-a-glance For a century, ultraviolet blood irradiation (UVBI) has demonstrated incredible efficacy across a wide range of conditions in hundreds of studies Conditions UVBI is proven to treat include life-threatening infections, cardiovascular disorders, autoimmune conditions, and neurological issues Because of this, private doctors frequently find great success using UVBI for chronic infections (e.g., Lyme disease, shingles, or Epstein-Barr), a wide range of autoimmune diseases, and in preventing chemotherapy toxicity These results suggest UVBI can address the root cause of illness and that sunlight is an essential nutrient for the body Mechanisms identified for UVBI include it modulating the immune system, improving circulation, reactivating dormant cells, and neutralizing toxins
Hey Heal Squad! We're kicking off a fascinating two-part episode with Dr. Christopher Motley, a leading expert in functional kinesiology and Chinese medicine. In Part 1, Dr. Motley opens up about his personal health journey with Lyme disease, and how becoming his own best case study led him to uncover the root causes of chronic illness through energy medicine and frequency healing. He breaks down the hidden reason so many people stay sick: blocked drainage pathways. From EMFs and heavy metals to trapped emotions and mold toxicity, Dr. Motley explains how these invisible stressors overload the body, disrupt your lymphatic system, and stall healing at the deepest level. We also dive into how trauma gets stored in your organs, what viruses like Epstein-Barr have to do with hormone issues and fatigue, and why your body's Qi—your electromagnetic life force—could be the key to real, lasting transformation. If you've tried everything and still feel stuck, this episode will help you finally connect the dots and understand your symptoms in a whole new light. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Drainage is the foundation of healing. Before you detox, your drainage pathways (like the lymphatic system and liver) need to be open. If they're blocked, toxins can't leave the body, and you stay stuck in survival mode. Your body holds emotional memories. Trapped emotions from past trauma can get stored in specific organs, silently contributing to chronic illness, hormone imbalance, and nervous system dysregulation. Mold and metals are hidden saboteurs. Many people with brain fog, fatigue, or mysterious symptoms are dealing with toxic overload from mold exposure or heavy metals—and most don't even know it. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Join the In-Person Heal Retreat: https://www.canyonranch.com/stay/events/heal-retreat-with-maria-menounos/?location=lenox GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctormotley Website: https://www.doctormotley.com/ Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ancient-health-podcast/id1493717594 ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

1. Lack of sleep You could feel exhausted all the time simply because you lack sleep. Alcohol, overtraining, and eating too late can interfere with sleep. Chocolate consumption can increase theobromine, similar to caffeine, which can interfere with sleep if consumed too late. Try taking magnesium one hour before bed to help you relax. Vitamin B1 is also vital for quality sleep. Did you know that going outside in the morning to watch the sunrise can improve your sleep? Try it!2. Cellular hypothyroidismThyroid hormones go into every cell in your body, controlling metabolism and energy levels. If your thyroid is not working properly, you will likely experience fatigue. Increase selenium to improve thyroid function. Brazil nuts, sardines, shellfish, and grass-fed liver are excellent sources of selenium.3. StressA severe stress, such as the loss of a loved one, can cause your immune system to shut down because of the cortisol spike. This allows latent viruses like the Epstein-Barr virus to come out of remission and cause chronic fatigue syndrome. High doses of vitamin D can help.Try making your own L. reuteri yogurt, one of the best remedies for high cortisol. Increasing magnesium and sodium and taking long walks in the woods can also reduce cortisol levels. 4. Histamine overload An enzyme in your body naturally breaks down histamine. Alcohol, medications, and gut damage can inhibit this enzyme's function, increasing histamine levels. Avoid aged cheeses, vinegar, canned fish, and fermented vegetables if you suspect a histamine sensitivity. 5. Blood sugarConsuming high amounts of carbohydrates or sugar during the day often leads to blood sugar fluctuations at night. Frequent night waking decreases energy during the day. Carb consumption depletes vitamin B1, which can cause restless legs syndrome, waking you up.6. Sleep disturbances Sleep apnea and being too hot or too cold can interfere with your sleep. Frequent urination caused by too much snacking or too many carbs can also be the culprit. 7. Protein intake If you're not consuming enough high-quality protein, it could be the reason you're feeling exhausted all the time. Try adding more protein to each meal for a significant improvement in energy. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
