Take Charge of Your Health - Dentist, Dr. Hans Jurgen Schwartz Discusses Mercury Amalgam in the Mouth

 It is well established that mercury is a potent toxin.  We discuss the use of mercury in dental amalgam with Dr. Hans Jurgen Schwartz, dentist.  Filling a tooth with mercury containing amalgam introduces exposure to the toxic effects of mercury, damages the tooth structure, and is an environmental hazard for dental professionals and public water supplies.  We discuss prevention of cavities, use of fluoride in dentistry, brushing and flossing and the possibility of organ (tooth) transplant.  Finally, we discuss the detoxification procedures to eliminate mercury. 

Take Charge of Your Health - Interview with Dr. Robert Lustig, Author of ”Fat Chance” and ”Metabolical”

Dr. Robert Lustig is a Professor Emeritus from the University of California, San Francisco in Pediatric Endocrinology (www.robertlustig.com).  He observed the terrible toll that the processed food industry has taken on the health of our children and ourselves.  These foods lure us to pleasure instead of happiness, he writes.  He is the author of "Fat Chance" and his latest book "Metabolical: The Lures and Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition and Modern Medicine". Here's a quote from his website: 
Sugar is now the most ubiquitous foodstuff worldwide, and has been added to virtually every processed food, limiting consumer choice and the ability to avoid it. Approximately 80 percent of the 6,000,000 consumer packaged foods in the United States have added caloric sweeteners.

Take Charge of Your Health: Dr. Jamie Kaufman and Her Book ”The Chronic Cough Enigma”

There is a disconnect in medicine, Dr. Kaufman, an otolaryngologist, tells Corinne and Carol and the audience. A constant sinus drainage problem which causes constant nighttime coughing is in reality a gastrointestinal problem. It is originating with gastric reflux.  She relates to us how she remedies this in her practice but also zeros in on practical tips for us to apply on our own.  She says since this occurs in gaps in medical specialties, physicians cannot identify and treat the root of the problem.

Take Charge of Your Health : Corinne and Carol interview Dr. Michael Platt on his book ”Adrenaline Dominance”

 We are well aware of adrenaline as our "fit or flight" hormone, however, we also experience health problems when adrenaline is turned on constantly.  We never measure this hormone, yet it is fundamentally involved in our basic glucose and insulin balance, our most primitive and fundamental hormone system.

Take Charge of Your Health : A Most Primitive Hormone-Melatonin

Melatonin is a hormone that is produced by every plant and animal and is considered one of the most primitive.  When released by the pineal gland, melatonin directs our circadian cycles.  Most melatonin production, however, is produced inside the mitochondria, the energy organelles inside our cells.  Consequently melatonin has far reaching effects on cardiovascular disease, cancer, immunology, heavy metal toxicity and more.  Listen as Corrine and Carol dig into the many applications of melatonin.
