Homeoprophylaxis  http://learntruehealth.com/homeoprophylaxis/ Homeoprophylaxis: Safe Alternatives To Vaccines Today’s topic is close to my heart. Dr. Cilla Whatcott has a very deep understanding about educating our immune system how to combat disease without the use of vaccines and instead use homeoprophylaxis. Slow Realization Whatcott grew up in New Jersey, and her dad was an immigrant from Italy. Her mother died when she was 16 years, and she watched that process with what occurred within Western medicine surrounding her illness and her death. Whatcott’s father died when she was in her 20s, and she observed the same thing. Their death sowed the seeds of her interest in medicine. Whatcott wanted to have a large family. But when she married, she found out she couldn’t have kids, so Whatcott started adopting. She adopted a child from Taiwan, another from mainland China and Russia. So it was a surprise when Whatcott did end up having a biological child. Taking Matters At Her Hands Whatcott’s four kids had dif

What Causes Cancer? http://learntruehealth.com/what-causes-cancer/ Discovering What Causes Cancer And Curing It With Sodium Bicarbonate Today I have a very famous oncologist with us who found out what causes cancer and has been curing cancer for over a decade using an all-natural substance and without chemotherapy. Dr. Tullio Simoncini trained the traditional way of curing through chemotherapy until he saw there were no results. I first discovered Dr. Simoncini when I watched the documentary series, "The Truth About Cancer." Discovering What Causes Cancer Years before, Simoncini's college professor confessed that the tumor is still a mystery. He was challenged to find what causes cancer. Tullio reasoned with his professor that there must be some other way to cure cancer because everybody who went through chemotherapy dies. So he vowed to do his research on what causes cancer. Treating Psoriasis Then Simoncini was also following some doctors practicing Natural Medicine who were also looking for the answer to w

How To End Addiction http://learntruehealth.com/how-to-end-addiction/ How To End Addiction Through Spiritual Enrichment Learn True Health is about Holistic Health. The podcast aims to develop our health mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually and energetically. A lot of times I have doctors on teaching what herbs we can take, what detox is best or how to end addiction. But if we have an unhappy spiritual, emotional or mental body, we're not completely healthy. So we need to address every aspect of our life. My guest today, John Hammer, will help us seek enlightenment, how to heal and how to end addiction so that we can say we are healthy inside and out. Happy Childhood Hammer grew up in a pastor's family. His dad was a drug addict who grew up in Seattle. His father had a miraculous encounter with God when he chanced upon a book called "The Cross and the Switchblade" by David Wilkerson. He went to become a pastor and married Hammer's mom in the process. His earliest memories were going to church multipl

The Art Of Healing With Dr. Bernie Siegel http://learntruehealth.com/bernie-siegel/ Dr. Bernie Siegel's Tips On Finding Your True Self Dr. Bernie Siegel is one of the 20 Spiritually Influential Living People on the Planet by the Watkins Review. I met Dr. Bernie Siegel during my Health Coaching training program at the Institute of Integrated Health and Nutrition. Watching Dr. Bernie Siegel's videos touched me deeply. Hence, I wanted to share his message of healing to all my listeners. Finding Meaning In My Profession Many years ago, Dr. Bernie Siegel attended a workshop because he wasn't happy as a doctor. He felt he wasn't trained to care for people. Doctors are trained to treat the result and not the cause. When Dr. Bernie Siegel went to the workshop, he was the only doctor in the room. Here was a radiation oncologist giving a lecture and no other doctor in the state of Connecticut was there. Sitting around were a lot of Dr. Bernie Siegel's patients. A patient approached him and said she was there because sh

The Truth Behind GMO http://learntruehealth.com/gmo/ Causes and Cure of a GMO Versus Non-GMO Diet I have on board celebrity author and filmmaker Jeffrey Smith who is an advocate for promoting healthier non-GMO choices in our diet. Today is also a special episode because not only did we reach a million downloads, but it is also my late mother's birthday. She would have turned 70 years old today, so I'm dedicating this episode to her. Began As Curious Outsider Smith was a chronic do-gooder and looking for ways to improve things. Through the years, he was into marketing, communications, education and strategy. In 1996, Smith went to a lecture by a scientist who was a genetic engineer, and he was quite alarmed. Because he knew something was about to become a health disaster and environmental catastrophe. Monsanto Company A company called Monsanto was about to plant seeds throughout the Midwest using genetically engineered techniques that this engineer knew. The engineer was aware that it was not safe. Once you re

Natural Medicine For Cancer Treatment http://learntruehealth.com/cancer-treatment/ Cancer Treatment Through Naturopathy, Energy Frequency and Greenopathy There are a lot of cancer treatment available nowadays. Dr. Lance Morris will explain today how Naturopathy, Homeopathy, Energy Frequencies and Greenopathy treat this disease. Preemie Baby Morris was a preemie baby during an era when premature babies did not survive. His parents sent up an oxygen tent at home, and along with his two sisters, they watched over him 24/7 until he was healthy. Premature babies' weakest link are the lungs. So growing up Morris always had chronic sinusitis, bronchitis, and asthma. He had a frequent respiratory crisis, and the standard solution was always Allopathic intervention. But it never really helped. Getting Into The Vegan Diet In the 60s, when Morris was a freshman in high school, there was this group of students who were vegan. And that was not common then. He wanted to hang out with them, and they agreed, provided he woul

Natural Treatment For Menopause http://learntruehealth.com/menopause/ Weight Loss & Menopause With Herbs And Chinese Medicine I have Dana LaVoie here today to teach us about menopause.

Healing Herbs http://learntruehealth.com/healing-herbs/ Healing Herbs You Need To Know About When you learn more about Naturopathic Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine and Herbal Medicine, we look more to the traditional styles of healing. They would look at the cycles of the moon and seasons. We would want to consume healing herbs in this cycle that would help us in a different way. It could boost out a body in a certain way. Healing herbs can actually be delicious. There are times when taking healing herbs for energy is great. And there are also times for supporting the body to heal and just rest.

Saunders' Philosophy Saunders has a deep underlying belief in the innate healing power of our bodies. She became a Naturopathic Physician to help others achieve their health goals through natural means. "I work with the body to support healing instead of disease

How To Get Rid Of Anxiety http://learntruehealth.com/how-to-get-rid-of-anxiety/ Learning How To Get Rid Of Anxiety Eleven years ago, I learned a technique which is a nuclear bomb how to get rid of anxiety. It completely blows up if you do it.  Everyone has anxiety at one point in their life. But this technique will help get rid of anxiety and re-wire your brain for success. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) I did it with one of my first clients. As a result, she went off medication when she used this technique. NLP created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in California in the 1960s. It is an approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy. Furthermore, NLP helps you shift into the life you want. Consequently, we are only conscious of a little part of our bodies. In addition to that, filters in our bodies are limiting decisions and aspects of our life. Time Line Therapy (TLT) Time Line Therapy (TLT) on the other hand, is developed by Tad James, Ph.D. in the 1980s. Evolving from hypnosis

There is now so many new information about balancing our hormones. Canadian Roots  I am so thrilled to have my guest today. Dr. George Arnold has been an ob-gyn for 25 years now. He completed his primary medical training at the University of Toronto in 1986.  I'm excited to interview a fellow Canadian and talk about his upcoming book as well. "I was one of those kids that grew up kinda knowing I would become a doctor. Since I was a kid, I loved science," said Dr. Arnold. "And I was sympathetic and empathetic to people around me. I applied to only one medical school because knew I would be accepted." But when Dr. Arnold was finishing up medical school, ob-gyn was the last thing he wanted to do.  This was because he initially wanted to be a cardiac surgeon. He fell in love with ob-gyn onl

Metabolic Balance http://learntruehealth.com/metabolic-balance/ The Metabolic Balance Program Metabolic Balance is a plan from Germany that's been in use for over two decades. Sarica Cernohous tells us how this is effective for detox and weight loss. I'm so glad to have Sarica Cernohous back on the show. We had so much to talk about the last time she was on my podcast.  A lot of people have benefited from her LAPIS technique. And now she is releasing a re-write of her book, The Funky Kitchen. "It means so much to me that people listen to me. With the LAPIS Method and the Funky Kitchen, I feel like I distilled it through my filter." said Cernohous. Striving for Optimal Health I totally can relate to what Cernohous wants to achieve.  Through my podcast, my primary aim was also to educate people on how to be healthy the natural way.  We're all striving for optimal health. I was introduced to fermented foods way back early on by a pharmacist. I wasn't really big on that then and I didn't even know the health bene

Allan Bell: From Victim To Superhero http://learntruehealth.com/alan-bell Alan Bell is the author of Poisoned. It tells how a prosecutor turned his medical mystery into a crusade for environmental victims. I have a lot of guests who have stressed the negative effects of environmental toxins from chemicals to ordinary items such as make-up. People are getting sick and doctors are making them drink lots of medicines. "I was a prosecutor in South Florida in the 80s. That time, they were filming 'Miami Vice' and I was there. Suddenly I came down with really bizarre medical symptoms. I started getting a sore throat, my eyes started burning me, my lungs started burning," Alan Bell said. It progressed to the point where Alan Bell began feeling fatigue. Like flu that wouldn't go away. So he went to several doctors but they didn't know what was wrong. It became worse and Alan Bell was experiencing seizures. He went to the Mayo Clinic, Cleaveland Clinic and National Jewish Hospital among others. Finally one day, there

Life Purpose http://learntruehealth.com/life-purpose Life purpose varies from every individual.  Yet we often don’t realize our life purpose because we are too absorbed in other things. We could be eating right, exercising and eating supplements. But if we’re not plugging into our spiritual health or not finding out our purpose is in life it is useless. What’s the point in life if we’re not living our path? Leigh Martinuzzi had an amazing journey before he settled in Japan. Hence, he left a corporate life to help people find their life purpose. “I lived in Japan 10 years ago when I was single and no kids. Two Christmases ago, we thought of going on to explore Japan because I had connections here. It was an easy decision and we moved to Japan within a few months,” said Martinuzzi. Comfortably adjusted by now, he has no regrets. “Consequently, we’re living the life.  And I love the experience and adventure.  Just to have the ability to do allows me to grow. Since we also wanted the kids to grow up in a new cult

Healing Emotional Eating http://learntruehealth.com/stop-emotional-eating How to stop emotional eating? Health issues arise if we don't overcome this disorder. Emotional eating is actually overeating due to negative emotions.  Hello, True Health Seekers! One thing we're not talking about today is food. Rather, we're going to talk about healing beyond food. Personally, I feel like my audience is a lot like me. We've tried everything. We've been on every diet, whether it be soy free or vegan. For some of us, we swung from one side of the spectrum to the other when it comes to diet and emotional eating. And yet we still can't find the missing pieces to healing. This is where we really need to go within and see what's going on. To discover if there are some components that have nothing to do with food and that can heal my body.

What is Vitamix? http://learntruehealth.com/vitamix Vitamix makes healthy eating easy and fun.  Lenny Gale explains in detail how to use this blender to ease into a plant-based diet that sticks. A few years ago, I had a lot of health issues. My hormones were out of balance. Because of that, I was always catching colds and my blood sugar was out of control. I had no energy and as a result, I felt tired all the time.  In addition to that, coping with brain fog, regular headaches, and insomnia, I was consequently miserable. Finally, after a few years of searching, I found it. Natural medicine turned me on to supplements. Hence, taking supplements is so important to the integrity of our body. Furthermore, I found out that we need 90 essential nutrients every day. To support 37.2 trillion body cells, we need 16 vitamins, 12 amino acids, 2 fatty acids and 60 minerals. During my healthy journey, I also learned about foods to avoid for better health. As a result, I started to eat more fruit and vegetables the way God

Hashimoto's Disease Is The Root Cause Of Hypothyroidism  http://learntruehealth.com/hashimotos-disease/ Hashimoto's Disease is the number one cause of an underactive thyroid.  According to Dr. Izabella Wentz, it accounts for 90%- 97% of cases of hypothyroidism. Hashimoto's Disease is known as an autoimmune condition in which the body's immune system is attacking the thyroid. As a result, inflammation from Hashimoto's disease leads to hypothyroidism. Hence, treatment of Hashimoto's disease with thyroid hormone replacement is simple and effective. Izabella's Story First of all, a diagnosis doesn't actually uncover the root cause. Holistic medicine rather points you in the direction where you could begin to learn. Consequently, the term second opinion should really be just getting opinions so you finally get some traction. Dr. Wentz narrates, "I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's during a routine physical at age 27. I was trained about the pathophysiology of diseases, as well therapeutic treatments. Our professors a

Healing Foods http://learntruehealth.com/healing-foods LAPIS Method: http://learntruehealth.com/lapis FUNKY KITCHEN: http://learntruehealth.com/funky Cooking healthy helps optimize our weight. Pre-digestion Specialist Sarica Cernohous teaches us how cooking Healing Foods is actually fun, easy and flavorful. How our Food Choices Evolved I love traditional, holistic medicine. There is a medicine that we have been using for thousands of years. In the last 150 years, we turned away from nature to use chemical compounds. Nature will help you survive. We completely forgot that it's food that nourishes us. Food is what feeds every cell in our body.  Hence, we should learn the art of cooking healthy. Consequently, whatever we eat does have its consequences. One in four women gets cancer while one in three people are pre-diabetic. An alarming statistics is that fact that one in sixty-eight children are born with autism. Whereas 30 years ago, it was one in ten thousand. Cooking Healthy To Maximize Nutrition I have lear
