Radio Naturopath Episode 545: Anthony Fauci: Hero or Not, Eat Less Protein, Eat More Protein
This week, I talked about the senate hearings with Anthony Fauci. Hero, or no? I encouraged everyone to remember that he WAS a hero during the AIDS crisis, and he helped research and getting medicine into the hands of people who desperately needed it. For COVID, we need to remember that there were everyday heroes that helped very sick people, especially early on. I have spoken with nurses who cared for COVID patients and they were indeed very sick. It's not useful to blame someone for the cause of the pandemic, or even side effects from the vaccines. Everyone was doing the best that they could with what they knew at the time, and the best thing to do is to help people who are still ill and also to figure out what happened and how we can do better, using a team approach. Right now it seems to be a sport to set up people on opposite sides of an issue and let them fight it out. I am SO tired of this!
I also talked about the benefits of a lower protein diet. I also talked about the benefits of a higher protein diet. The final answer is that there is an amount of protein that is JUST RIGHT for you!
Radio Naturopath Episode 395: Chronic Illness in Kids, Fascial Trauma, Lyme & COVID-19, PANS-PANDAS
This week, we talked some more about the amazing info I got at the CNPA conference. There is so much information it's going to take at least 3 or 4 shows to fit it all in! Debby Hamilton, M.D. talked about how the pesticide glyphosate can affect young nervous systems, as can electromagnetic fields. There was a great talk about how trauma can be held in our fascia, our connective tissue, and how to release it. Then Myriah Hinchey, N.D., who is expert in tick born illnesses, talked about the similarities between inflammation in COVID-19 and Lyme. Lindsay Wells talked about treating PANS and PANDAS, psychiatric syndromes usually in children that can follow infections with staphylococcus or streptococcal bacteria. More to follow next week!
Radio Naturopath Episode 315: Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, Vaccine Hesitancy, Get Some Exercise!
This week I talked about the Novavax vaccine, a new vaccine for COVID-19 that is in its final stages of study before receiving emergency use authorization. It may be more palatable to many people because it doesn't use mRNA or DNA technology, just purified spike protein and a plant immune adjuvant. It may be available as soon as October.
I also talked about vaccine hesitancy and why people think the vaccines were "rushed". They really weren't, many parts of the research process existed already, and they were studied in a fashion that's comparable to how other vaccines have been studied. I go into detail about this.
To finish off, I find various ways to encourage people to get regular exercise! Let's hope they work!
Radio Naturopath Episode 284: Happy Hanukkah! COVID-19 Vaccine Rollout, New Drugs and Natural Treatments; NrF2 Enhancers
This week, there's great excitement over the initial rollout of the COVID-19 vaccination by Pfizer. We talked about the rollout, how it works, who is likely to be in line for it, and what it may contain. More info on that next week!
I also talked about some meds and natural treatments for COVID-19 as presented by Heather Zwickey, PhD, microbiologist and infectious disease researcher. Then a bit about NrF2 and its wonderful antioxidant properties.
