188 – Why Are So Many People on Prescription Medications? – with Steve Lankford

According to Mayo Clinic, nearly 70% of Americans use at least one prescription drug. More than half take two. I find this astounding. How is it that the majority of people need medications. Are we really that sick? This used to puzzle me. How is it that our national health is so poor that three fourths of Americans need medical drug intervention? I think now I have an answer. They don’t. Why do I think that?

187 – What to Do When Fish Oil Raises LDL Cholesterol – My Interview with Jolie Root

Some people experience an increase in LDL cholesterol when taking EPA + DHA fish oil. It is this rise in LDL that has doctors and researchers puzzled. Why is this the case and more importantly how can this outcome be influenced by the nutrients we take. Again, we can look to the science for answers.

Researchers wanted to know if either EPA alone or DHA alone as nutritional intervention would provide different results. The research has shown that EPA alone will lower triglycerides without increasing LDL. These effects were seen in several studies and so now there is growing consensus that EPA alone is more appropriate for some.

186 – Clinical Joint Support for Male Athletes – My Interview with Richard Passwater Jr.

Your cartilage is made primarily of collagen. So are your tendons and ligaments. The amount, and condition, of collagen is by far the largest determinant of the health of all three. The material strength and biological properties of articular cartilage depend heavily on its uniquely and extensively cross-linked collagen network. That’s “medical speak” for healthy collagen equals healthy cartilage. In a clinical trial, the active ingredient, choline-stabilized OrthoSilicic Acid (ch-OSA), is proven to generate collagen. With cs-OSA, you can now attack the root cause of joint discomfort – not just mask the symptoms.
