  • What kind of symptoms come from allergies, from mild to deadly.
  • Natural remedies for allergy symptoms that won’t make you too drowsy to drive or operate heavy machinery.

Episode 036: Immunization, Vaccinations – Is It What You Think It Is?

by

With a politically charged topic like vaccinations it can be hard to get accurate information.  Dr. Nedd has studied this area in depth and is going to share some valuable data on this topic that any parent (or anyone planning to be a parent at some point) really does need to know.   Today, Dr. Nedd will discuss:

  • What is immunization and what are vaccinations, and why those terms shouldn’t be used interchangeably.
  • What are the additives in vaccinations and why do they increase the risk of dangerous side effects.  (This one is shocking.)
  • Why the argument of ‘vaccines have been proven to be safe’ doesn’t apply to the current schedule/set of vaccines given to children.
  • The legislation concerning vaccines and the current actions to change things.

Episode 035: Statins – Worth the Risk?

by

Statins are one of the most widely prescribed categories of drugs in the world.  Odd thing is they have an adverse reaction rate of 20% in clinical practice but only had a 5% reaction rate in the clinical studies.  You know, the studies that ‘prove’ how effective and safe they are.  The ones required for drug approval from the FDA.  That big difference in percentages wouldn’t have anything to do with tens of billions of dollars of sales, now would it?  They’re touted as being effective at reducing cardiovascular incidents from “high” cholesterol.  But are they really?   Today, Dr. Nedd will discuss:

  • What statins are and what they do.
  • The truth about cholesterol test numbers.
  • The potentially serious side effects from using statins.
  • How drug companies and their allies want to double the statin sales by having people with ‘normal’ cholesterol numbers using it.
  • Natural remedies to control or reduce blood cholesterol levels.
