Forbidden Doctor: Revealing Forbidden Health Secrets!

This week Dr. Jack explores the vitamin K2 controversy with Mary, and digs into the oft misunderstood molecule: chlorophyll. As usual, there is a money-driven dis-information campaign, and a synthetic, bogus version being passed off as chlorophyll that isn’t doing any of the heavy lifting one would expect from this marvelous compound. What do we know about chlorophyll's impact on human health? What’s the connection between hemoglobin and chlorophyll? What should you look for if you want to avoid harmful synthetic chlorophyl? Tune in to get the answers to these and many more questions...

This week Dr. Jack and Mary look through their notes for emerging trends and recent questions from patients and recent research they’ve been doing for various reasons. Mary’s book and Dr. Jack’s recent caseload have brought up some critical topics that can never really be over-emphasized. From the absurdity of anti-oxidant supplements, to the very real tragedies that can occur from iodine deficiency, and from the entirely avoidable sexual disfunction suffered by so many malnourished men, to the complete misunderstanding of the role minerals play alongside their vitamin counterparts.   It’s a tour de force of recent topics that we think can impact many of you out there. Tune in and learn some Forbidden Gems.

This week Dr. Jack and Mary talk about the missing vitamin: B4. It’s not missing because it’s not all around us in whole foods. It’s missing because it’s been grossly mis-categorized and then synthesized for the sake of cost and storage. Sound familiar? B4 slowly disappeared from the Lexicon and is now mysteriously absent. And most of us are malnourished. The frustrating history of Vitamin B4 is another piece of this tragic nutritional puzzle. What is to be done? Tune in to learn Dr. Jack and Mary’s approach.

This week Dr. Jack pulls back the veil on one of the more infuriating tragedies of modern nutrition. Nearly a century ago, as researchers including Dr. Royal Lee identified amazing health benefits from Vitamin E complex, including direct impacts on human fertility, the machine of industry sought to produce a cheaper version, and the synthetic Vitamin E we know today was born. Stripped of it’s vitamin complex properties for ease of storage and cost-cutting, it now comprises a startling percentage of the E vitamin category we are taking into our bodies. This is tragic.   As we’ve watched American infertility climb nearly two and a half percent over the last few decades, from 1 in 7 couples, up to nearly 1 in 6 couples, no one seems to have any context for what might be happening. But Royal Lee predicted precisely what we see today in the 1930’s. Then as now, the solution was to go back to the whole food sources. Tune in to find out a tragically simple solution to all-too-common vitamin E-complex deficiencies. T

This week Dr. Jack takes us through the unfounded hysteria related to Vitamin D deficiency. Besides missing the larger nutritional picture, and instead getting hung up on the numbers, doctors blithely prescribing Vitamin D can actually be doing their patient real harm, without even knowing it.   To understand this better, we need to understand the history of Vitamin D, both synthetic and organic sources, and how the science has been misunderstood and misused for decades. Tune in to figure out if the Vitamin D supplements you’re taking could actually be harmful, or at the very least, pointless.

This week Dr. Jack and Mary tackle the diet fads that have been taking our money for decades. It’s not just that many diets are not effective (they’re not!) but it’s the lack of real food science, sometimes touted by real doctors, that is harming us as we attempt to lose weight.   Who signs up to lose weight along with their health? It turns out, almost all of us, as we try these latest diets! But there is a better way, one that helps with weight stabilization, but most importantly, one that nourishes your systems properly, and debunks the low-fat nonsense at the heart of most diets.   Dr. Jack and Mary take us through the science of truly nourishing our bodies, and showing us with startling clarity why we need to be ditching these fly-by-night diets once and for all.

Sugar makes us sick. The USDA doesn't even have to pretend this is controversial anymore. They simply ignore the facts instead, approving sugar-laden morsels at an ever increasing rate. Based on well-researched, well-documented findings, Dr. Jack and Mary have an amazing list of unhealthy and unsavory facts about refined sugar and we're going to share it with you today! It's not just that sugar is unhealthy; it's also addictive, signaling some of the same markers in the brain that opiates will trigger, and causing real withdraw symptoms if you stop eating sugar, cold turkey. These alarming trends of our weight, our general health, and our ever increasing consumption of refined sugars is only leading in one direction; the wrong one. Tune in the learn some essential facts about this scourge on our health and some things you can do to minimize your own risk, while still enjoying the occasional snack.

We'd like to think that when we get sick, the last bastion of hope for health care, our doctors, urgent care facilities, and hospitals would be the place to be for the best chance to get well. If only this were true every time... There are numerous cases of people winding up in worse shape than when they went in for help in the first place. Dr. Jack and Mary peel back the layers on several studies of this phenomenon to learn more about what we should all be watching out for, if we do have to go to the doctor, or worse, need a hospital stay. If you or anyone you know has major health care coming up soon, you will want to know about the 12 ways the health care system may be blowing it, and making us worse off! The most important theme here is that you are empowered to ask questions and demand answers. What is the main problem? What do I need to do? Why is it important for me to do this? This podcast will give you some surprising things to consider.

The concept of methylation keeps coming up since the confusion around the MTHFR variation first took hold. The body's ability to reign in inflammation events is based on the process of methylation. And methylation is an essential process regulated within the body by the MTHFR gene. So it's no surprise that serious health crises emerge when methylation processes are disrupted within the body. This week Dr. Jack and Mary give us some much needed insight into the science of methylation, and things all of us can do to mitigate the risk of MTHFR mutation or abhorrent expression. It's not a binary. Methylation and its effectiveness in individuals is on a spectrum. Most of us could benefit from support of the methylation processes within our own bodies. Tune in for details.

Doctors die too, and they don't die like the rest of us. This week Dr. Jack and Mary talk about a major Johns-Hopkins survey doctors related to their own wishes for emergency care if they were to lose the ability to communicate those wishes. Doctors have a unique perspective on the ends of lives, since they are involved more often than not, more-or-less directly with the events at the ends of many lives.  Tune in and be stunned to learn some of the findings in this study. Do you know how you feel about your own case and what you would want done? Perhaps we should let these doctors be our guide!

Fat remains one of the most misunderstood, and even misrepresented substances available for human consumption. This week Dr. Jack and Mary get into the thick of fat. What's the real difference between saturated and unsaturated fat? What's the difference between mono-unsaturated fat and poly-unsaturated fat? Rather than oversimplified "good-fat/bad-fat" dichotomies, Dr. Jack and Mary help us understand the complicated science of fat, and what's really going on in our own bodies when fat is introduced in it's various forms. Tune in to learn the essentials of fat science and fat history in our crazed, US food industry.

This week Dr. Jack and Mary share their Top 20 Protocols list. For various reasons over the years, both personally and professionally, these 20 protocols have proven time and again to be effective and necessary for living an optimal, healthy life. So often we overlook the critical role nutrition plays in our health and in our sickness, and our mission at the Forbidden Doctor is spreading our knowledge about the role of nutrition. Helping people learn how to heal themselves is incredibly rewarding! Great work if you can get it...

Dr. Jack and Mary interrupt their normally-scheduled podcast this week to talk about recent stunning findings related to immunotherapy in our battle against cancer. That is to say, using one's own immune system to execute a more targeted fight against the cancerous tissues in one's body. The research goes back over 100 years, as physicians and researchers saw numerous infections actually lead to remissions of cancer in many patients over the years. It was never clear exactly what was occurring when remission took place. With the modern variation in this treatment, the side effects can be extremely difficult to manage, but as usual, proper nutritional support can make or break the efficacy of treatments such as this. Tune in to hear Dr. Jack and Mary discuss the details and the science of immunotherapeutic cancer treatment.

This week Dr. Jack and Mary conclude the process of evaluating the 10 most dangerous drugs approved by the FDA in the US. 10 dangerous drugs? Actually it was hard culling the list down to ten! There are many drugs on the market today that are designed to disrupt natural bodily processes in order to mask symptoms of disease. These second 5 round off a very dangerous top 10 drugs. As stated last week, often drugs are simply benign and ineffective, but certain classes of drugs are extremely dangerous and should be avoided unless you absolutely cannot. Tune in to get the second 5 of the 10 most dangerous drugs out there.

We've all had them. Calmly slumbering, we move our leg the wrong way and WHAM! Pain of the highest order; unimaginable discomfort from peaceful slumber. It may be the worst transition to make to wakefulness yet invented by man. And guess what? It sort of is indeed invented by man; inasmuch as our lifestyles and diets play a role in bringing this horrid affliction on. And with summer blasting away at us outside, we thought this was a timely topic to help any suffering listeners who want to avoid, or immediately relieve these nasty, painful symptoms.

This week Dr. Jack and Mary dig into the blood science of fluid retention and acute pain from injury. It turns out that both of these medical issues can benefit from concentrated nutritional support (are we surprised?!). While both symptoms can be serious indicators of deeper un-wellness, our US medical establishment usually throws drugs at these problems without understanding any nutritional causes that could be at the root of the problem. Learn why you may be able to avoid synthetic diuretics or addictive opiates with some simple nutritional support.
