Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about the use of Advanced Cell Training to educate the body on how to properly respond to microbes, environmental toxins, and allergies. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Gary Blier. Gary Blier struggled for years with his own chronic illness, Ankylosing Spondylitis. His search for answers took him from the realm of conventional medicine to exploring things he would never have previously imagined. Ultimately, Gary created Advanced Cell Training or ACT which trains the body to heal itself on all levels – physical, mental, and emotional. ACT teaches its users how to tap into our body's innate healing ability by identifying misbehaviors that bring about ill health. It works to reset the body's biological response to pathogens, mold, allergens, toxins, stress, and trauma. Gary freed himself from his own crippling illness which had him nearly confined to a wheelchair. He has continued to develop ACT since its inception almost 20 years ago. During that time, Gary has worked with thousands of people to free themselves from pain, anxiety, and chronic illness and find peace within their own body. Key Takeaways: How did ACT emerge from Gary's own health challenges with Ankylosing Spondylitis? What is the fundamental premise of ACT? Can the body both underreact and overreact to a microbial invader? Are particular Lyme-related organisms more difficult to address than others? What is the experience of going through ACT? How is ACT like creating an internal rife machine? Is there a role for ACT in mold illness? What is the connection between pathogens and EMF-sensitivity? How are biofilms addressed through the use of ACT? Does Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and histamine intolerance improve with training? Can ACT be helpful in those dealing with SIBO or Morgellons? What is the role of emotional traumas and conflicts in chronic illness?

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about intestinal hyperpermeability, applications of RESTORE, hydration, and detoxification. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Zach Bush. Zach Bush, MD is one of the few triple board-certified physicians in the country - with expertise in Internal Medicine, Endocrinology and Metabolism, and Hospice/Palliative care. The breakthrough science that Dr. Bush and his colleagues have delivered offers profound new insights into human health and longevity. In 2012 he discovered a family of carbon-based redox molecules made by bacteria. He and his team subsequently demonstrated that this cellular communication network functions to compensate for glyphosate, and many other dietary, chemical, and pharmaceutical toxins that disrupt our body's natural defense systems. This science has resulted in a revolutionary class of dietary supplements, including the product, RESTORE. Dr. Bush points to his kids as the driving force behind his passion for change. He is fiercely motivated by a desire to have them experience a much brighter and healthier future. His education efforts provide a grassroots foundation from which we can launch change in our legislative decisions, ultimately up-shifting consumer behavior to bring about radical change in the mega industries of big farming, big pharma, and Western Medicine at large. Key Takeaways: What is the role of intestinal hyperpermeability or leaky gut in chronic health conditions? What is RESTORE? How does RESTORE create a communication network within the body? Does RESTORE have benefits beyond the GI tract? What are some of the ways RESTORE can be used? What is the intent of the nasal version of RESTORE?

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about some of the common misconceptions about minerals including magnesium, calcium, copper, and iron. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Morley Robbins. Morley Robbins (aka. "Magnesium Man") is the founder of the Magnesium Advocacy Group, and the creator of The Root Cause Protocol. Morley had been a hospital executive and consultant for 32 years when, several years ago, he developed a condition called "frozen shoulder." His family doctor quickly recommended surgery as the only hope for Morley if he wanted to be able to lift his right hand above his waist ever again. Friends who owned a health food store intervened and encouraged Morley to try chiropractic care. His initial response: "Thanks guys, but I don't do witchcraft." Several months later, the pain was wearing on him, and his friends insisted. It only took a couple weeks of "light touch chiropractic care" (Network Spinal Analysis) before his shoulder had full range of motion once again. The experience was so life-changing for Morley, he questioned everything he knew — or thought he knew — about healing. He then left the world of hospital administration and became a Wellness Coach. Today, Morley views it as his life's work to push back the tides of nutritional insanity in the day-to-day lives of inhabitants of Planet Earth! Key Takeaways: How important is magnesium in the body and how likely are we to be deficient in this key mineral? What lab testing is ideal for exploring mineral status? What form of magnesium is best? Why might taking calcium and vitamin D not be the ideal solution for osteopenia and osteoporosis? Is it more likely that people are copper toxic or copper deficient?

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about the delivery of frequency and vibration in support of optimizing health with the use of the AmpCoil. About My Guests: My guests for this episode are Aaron and Geneva Bigelow. When Aaron and Geneva Bigelow started their healing journey 12 years ago, they believed Lyme disease was going to be part of their lives forever. Having both worked for many years in the biotech industry, they'd tried biofeedback, PEMF and bioresonance technology, but weren't getting sustainable results. They eventually found a solution that eliminated forever the devastating effects of Lyme disease. That is when the AmpCoil was born. They used an early prototype to help their family get their lives back, but knew deeply that the mission was much greater than their own family's wellness because so many people were suffering. They tried everything to get their lives back. There were moments when Aaron couldn't get out of bed. Then he'd hear of the next great thing - feel better for a short time, but soon relapse again. One of those things was high-grade ozone therapy. Traveling to Tijuana, Mexico every day for months, he witnessed people in the waiting room close to death and hundreds of people crossing the border seeking hope on their journey to wellness. In that moment, Aaron began to feel gratitude for his journey, knowing it must lead to a greater story. He kept his hope alive this way. During Aaron's health crisis, Geneva developed left-sided paralysis and migraines, also due to Lyme and co-infections, and was pregnant with their second daughter. Neither of them could work. The turning point came when they hit bottom. Geneva was nine months pregnant and standing in the welfare line waiting for food stamps, then they were to spend the night at a homeless shelter. At this point, they'd spent over $200,000 on treatments and accrued $100,000 in unpaid medical bills. They were also watching their eldest daughter have regular seizures as she too battled with Lyme. Aaron remembers thinking, "you may be able to take one of us, but you won't take our daughter." They needed a miracle. Today they're symptom free. As founders of AmpCoil, life is eventful. The Bigelows, along with the entire AmpCoil team, credit their success so far to their own journey to wellness using the technology.

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about Mycoplasma and its role in chronic health challenges. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Garth Nicolson. Garth L. Nicolson, PhD, MD(H) is the founder of The Institute for Molecular Medicine at California, and he serves as the President, Chief Scientific Officer, and Emeritus Professor of Molecular Pathology. He is Conjoint Professor in the Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Newcastle, Australia. During the outbreak of the Gulf War syndrome, he was the leading authority on the study of the cause, treatment and prevention of the disease. He was appointed Chairman of the Medical-Scientific Panel for the Persian Gulf War Veterans Conference. On suspicion of the bacterium that caused the disease as a product of biological warfare, he made extensive scientific investigations and served as authority to the United States House of Representatives. For his service he was conferred honorary Colonel of the US Army Special Forces and honorary US Navy SEAL. With S.J. Singer, Nicolson published a paper titled "The fluid mosaic model of the structure of cell membranes" in 1972, which is now regarded as a classic paper in cell biology. With over 600 scientific papers, the majority of Nicolson's research is in cancer biology and cellular properties related to aging. He had invented a number of techniques in the study of cancer, and has five US patents. He was a Nobel Prize nominee in Cell Microbiology. In 2003 he introduced the practice of lipid replacement therapy into a scientific concept. He observed that the therapy had anti-aging effects, restorative potential for chronic muscle weakness (fatigue), and was beneficial to patients undergoing cancer treatments. Nicolson found that at the cellular and molecular levels the actual replacement of damaged cellular lipids with undamaged lipids helped to maintain proper structure and function of cellular structures, mainly cell membrane and organelle membranes (especially those of mitochondria), and this is important for maintaining stable cellular functions.

About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Theo Theoharides. Dr. Theo Theoharides, PhD, MD has studied the regulation of mast cell activation and its role in neuroinflammatory disease for over 30 years. He holds a Masters in Neuroimmunology, a PhD in Pharmacology, and an MD from Yale University. He was the first to report that mast cells can secrete specific mediators selectively without degranulation, regulate blood-brain-barrier permeability, stimulate microglia, be activated by corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) secreted under stress to release VEGF selectively, be activated by synergistic action of CRH and neurotensin, be activated by IL-33 and substance P synergistically to secrete the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF, secrete mitochondrial DNA extracellularly that is mistaken by the body as a pathogen resulting in inflammatory reactions, and communicate with microglia and are involved in inflammation of the brain. He discovered that mast cells are inhibited by certain natural flavonoids, especially luteolin and tetramethoxyluteolin. He has published over 400 peer-reviewed papers and is in the top 5% of authors cited in pharmacological and immunological journals. He is the developer of the well-known liposomal mast cell blocking nutritional supplement known as NeuroProtek and several other products.

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn genetic variants that are prevalent in those with chronic Lyme disease. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Bob Miller, CTN. Bob Miller, CTN is a Certified Traditional Naturopath specializing in the field of natural health, including genetic-specific nutrition, homeopathy, stress reduction, detoxification and education. He earned his naturopathic degree from Trinity School of Natural Health and is board certified. In 1993, Bob Miller opened the Tree of Life practice and he has served as a traditional naturopath for 20+ years. For the past several years, he has been engaged with genetic variants and related research. Working with many clients, he is astounded at how many peoples' health concerns are related to the genetic issues. For Bob, following a natural approach to health is personal. It was during a personal health crisis in 1993 that Bob experienced first-hand the profound effects of natural remedies as a solution to regain his health. His passion to help others and to learn more catapulted his desire to obtain knowledge in the natural health and wellness field. He is committed to educating others, empowering them to have more control over their health care and their lives. He feels the naturopathic philosophies of working with the mind, body and spirit in a natural approach to be the best way to help others. Recognizing that there was not a nutritional supplement line on the market comprehensive enough to address all of the possible genetic variants, he began working with a national company, Professional Health Products, to formulate an Epigenetics line of products for use by health care providers. Bob lectures at nationwide seminars to educate physicians and health care practitioners about genetic variants and nutritional supplementation for achieving optimal health, and has created an online certification course in genetic nutrition for health professionals. He has created a propriety software program, MethylGenetic Nutritional AnalysisTM , which he uses in his practice to assess, analyze and design support for his clients based upon their personal genetics, lab work and presenting symptoms. To support his growing genetic research efforts, Bob founded the NutriGenetic Research Institute in 2015 to research and publish reports on the relationship between genetic variants and labs and presenting symptoms. His first research project on genetic variants and Lyme disease won an award for research at the International Lyme Conference held in Helsinki, Finland in June 2016. Key Takeaways: What genetic patterns are more common in those with Lyme disease as compared to the 1000 Genomes Project. Are today's health challenges more of a genetic issue or an epigenetic issue? Why is supporting methylation not always a good idea? Which genes impact iron absorption at higher levels in Lyme patients and lead to hydroxyl radical production? What are KEAP1 and Nrf2 and how do variants in these genes lead to some of the sickest patients? What is MTOR and autophagy and how do we shift these to be more supportive of improved health? When are things like vitamin C, ozone, glutathione, NAC, glutamine, GABA, and arginine potentially not a good idea? What tools can we use to mitigate these issues?

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about the limbic system and how DNRS may support recovering from a wide array of chronic health challenges. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Annie Hopper. Annie Hopper is a journalist and health, wellness, and environmental toxin expert whose life was turned upside down by a chronic, debilitating condition. She knows the challenges and hardships involved with limbic system dysfunction and she personally suffered from severe Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, Fibromyalgia, and Electric Hypersensitivity Syndrome. She went on to creatively rewire the neural circuits in her brain that had been altered due to toxic trauma, and the symptoms of illness eventually dissipated. In 2008, Annie Hopper founded The Dynamic Neural Retraining System – a drug free, neuroplasticity-based approach to rewire chronic illness disease patterns in the brain. The program can be an effective treatment for chemical sensitivities, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and many other chronic illnesses. Annie has lectured throughout North America and abroad, educating both patients and doctors alike about the connection between environmental toxins, brain trauma, and physical health. She has spoken at events hosted by the Canadian Brain Injury Association, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine, the Canadian Counseling and Psychotherapy Association, and the Institute for Functional Medicine.

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about Morgellons, what it is, and how to approach treatment. About My Guest: Dr. Savely graduated in 1972 from the University of Maryland with Bachelor's degrees in Psychology and Music. In 1978 she earned a Master's degree in educational philosophy from Lesley College in Cambridge, MA. In 1985, she enrolled in the nursing program at the University of Texas at Austin and in 1988 completed her Bachelor's of nursing degree. Dr. Savely worked as an RN for the next 10 years in pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, urgent care, and family practice. She received her Master's degree in Nursing and certification as a family nurse practitioner in 1998. During this time, she became interested in and progressively more knowledgeable about Lyme disease. By 2003, 80% of her practice was devoted to Lyme patients. At about this same time, she became aware of a strange new disease called Morgellons disease. When word got out through a local news story that she was helping these patients, people with the symptoms of Morgellons disease started coming to her by the dozens. In 2004, she was honored with the title of Texas Nurse Practitioner of the Year for her work with Lyme and Morgellons disease. Dr. Savely began to publish articles, do presentations at conferences and appear in the media about her work with Lyme and Morgellons disease. She was accepted into the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society and sat on the advisory Boards of the Texas Lyme Disease Association and the Morgellons Research Foundation. Doctors in Austin had a very narrow view of Lyme disease. They were convinced that it did not exist in Texas and thought that even if it were contracted elsewhere, a simple week of antibiotics would totally cure it. Many of them resented the fact that a nurse practitioner had the nerve to use diagnosis and treatment methods that went against the prevailing medical paradigm. From 2003 to 2006, at the instigation of the Texas Board of Medical Examiners, Dr. Savely endured a drawn-out investigation by her regulatory board, the Texas Board of Nurse Examiners. The Board investigation finally ended with no more than trivial findings and what amounted to a "slap on the wrist". In 2005, having seen the "writing on the wall" and realizing that her days of practicing in Texas might soon be over, Dr. Savely had opened an auxiliary office in San Francisco. Although many doctors in Austin believed in what Dr. Savely was doing and even referred patients to her, none would agree to collaborate with her for fear of raising a red flag with the medical Board. Because Dr. Savely could find no other physician in Austin willing to assume the risk of practicing with her she moved her practice full-time to San Francisco in 2006. In 2009, Dr. Savely earned a doctorate degree in nursing practice from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio where she was honored with the Dean's Legacy Award. In March, 2011 she moved her practice from San Francisco to Washington, DC. In 2016, she published her book "Morgellons: The legitimization of a disease: A Factual Guide by the World's Leading Clinical Expert" which is available on Amazon.com. Key Takeaways: What is Morgellons and what are the common symptoms? Why is Morgellons not "delusional parasitosis"? What is the connection between Lyme disease and Morgellons? What microbes are commonly observed in Morgellons? What are some of the myths about Morgellons that should be dispelled? Is Morgellons contagious? What are the fibers, or more correctly, filaments made of? How is Morgellons treated? What are some things people should explore to lighten the load on the immune system? What is the prognosis for someone struggling with Morgellons?
