In this show you will learn how Google is driving traffic “away” from functional medicine sites, like driving large amounts of cyber traffic away from the famous health advocate site named Mercola.com.

Google especially drives traffic away from sites that are anti-vaccine, supportive of alternative cancer care, and discuss alternative medicine treatments.

Thus, natural answers will be harder to find on Google. Try other sites such as Ecosia.org – the search engine that will plant a tree for every 100 searches!

This all first began when Monsanto hired Google to help drive traffic in the direction they wanted when Monsanto had their first huge glyphosate court battle (which they lost).

Google’s not only coupled with a big Chemical company; it’s doing the same with Big Pharma.

Google’s parent company Alphabet has launched strategic alliances with major pharmaceutical companies such as Novartis, Sanofi, Otsuka and Pfizer. They state it’s to spur drug development and to make “changes” in health care delivery.

It seems that part of this is trying to minimized the functional medicine space, the major competitor of big chem and pharma companies. They state it’s to protect the public. What do you think?

In American we have personal freedom of rights, but these do not apply to private companies in this realm. They do have the right to do this. But we need to know so we can adjust our efforts to get the solutions we are looking for.

In this show you will also hear updates on:

  • San Francisco and vaping.
  • Nitroglycerin patches for bug and spider bites.
  • Why you should ditch most commercial mouth washes.
  • Why Cornell blames the consistent marriage rate decline on a “lack of economically-attractive men”.
  • The pitfalls of taking too much vitamin D and at what level.
  • How some breast cancer treatments put breast cancer cells into “sleep mode” and what this means about making “remission” your “mission”.
  • Nature’s intention to sync mother and child’s brain waves, what threatens this and how to reinstate mutual brain harmony.

THIS IS VERY TIME ORIENTED: PLEASE TAKE ACTION ALONG WITH US! 

Hormones Are Under Attack, Dr. Berkson’s Interview with Dr. Daved Rosensweet. 

Daved Rosensweet MD has been specializing in bioidentical hormone therapies for decades. Dr. Rosensweet has developed his own training program (www.menopausemethod.com), patented hormone bases, and now this.

 

Dr. Rosensweet just came back from Washington D.C, where he testified in front of the National  Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) to try to protect our rights and abilities to have access to safe and individualized hormones. Meaning: compounded bioidentical hormone replacement therapies (BHRT). The battle is on for who gets the money from women getting hormones. Pharmaceutical manufacturers continually try to be the main influencer of the FDA; trying to keep women on patentable (non- individualized) hormones, versus compounded bioidentical hormones by compounding pharmacies in response to doctor’s individualize scripts.

Our monumental efforts are called for right now!

NASEM, has been tasked and funded by the FDA to organize a Committee on the Clinical Utility of Treating Patients with Compounded “Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy.” To date there have been three meetings of testimonies of "stakeholders and experts" to the Committee. Recently surveys have been sent out to the public and practitioners for their opinions (see link to survey below).

 

Between the three meetings the majority of time was given to testimonies “negative” to bioidentical hormones. In contrast, about 1 hour and 35 minutes were on the “pro” side, supporting bioidentical hormones. 

 

As far as can be discerned from the biographies of the 12 Committee members of MDs and PhDs, none have treated women or men with Bioidentical Hormones.

One Committee member after the meeting had drawn to a close, approached one of the compounding pharmacist experts and said "there is no way we will tell the FDA to back what you do, however, I am interested in you treating me for menopause as this makes sense to me."

 

You can hear Dr. Rosensweet’s testimony (only allowed 5 minutes) and Q & A at these links:

http://nationalacademies.org/hmd/Activities/Quality/BioidenticalHormoneReplacementTherapy/2019-MAY-06/Videos/S2/16.aspx

Q & A:
http://nationalacademies.org/hmd/Activities/Quality/BioidenticalHormoneReplacementTherapy/2019-MAY-06/Videos/S2/17.aspx

 

HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO:

To maintain male and female rights to get bioidentical hormones:

  1. Forward this email to all of your friends and family who may be impacted by lack of access to BHRT and ask them to complete the survey also

  2. Take the Survey! Copy and paste the link below into your browser to take the survey to let them know that you want to keep your access. You can only click on this once. You can’t open it and then go back. It’s 10 short questions that will take one to two minutes. NOTE: you may have to try a couple of times, this link seems to be glitchy (copy/paste seems to work better which is why we didn't make the link clickable here)
  3. https://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/5017351/NASEM-cBHRT-consumers

 

So, please complete this short National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) survey today by clicking the ‘Consumer’ link above. 

  • Our deadline is July 19th only 4 days away!
  • Let them know how BHRT has improved your health and quality of life.

Knowledge is power. Join Dr. Berkson's interview with KATHERINE EBAN, an investigative journalist, Fortune magazine contributor, Andrew Carnegie fellow, and New York Time’s best-selling author of Bottle of Lies: The Inside Story of the Generic Drug Boom and expand your knowledge base.

Ms. Eban is known and respected for lecturing on pharmaceutical counterfeiting and pharmaceutical integrity, or lack of it. And… now… generic medications.

In this illuminating and must-hear show you will learn:

  • What are generic drugs and what are the concerns with them.
  • Where you can go to figure out the deep dive on your own generic meds.
  • How is the FDA letting us down and what are the conflicts of interest?
  • 80% of our generics are made overseas, mostly in India and China, who often have very serious issues with their chemical plants, contaminants and other complications.
  • The U.S. makes almost none of its own antibiotics anymore. 
  • Examples of fraud committed by generic-drug makers at manufacturing plants in India and China include: forging of documents and data to prove that generic drugs are equivalent to brand-name drugs, when they’re not; altering of test parameters so that formulations with higher impurities can be approved; superimposing brand-name test results onto generic results in applications to regulators.
  • Overseas drug companies take extreme measures to evade FDA scrutiny.  
  • At one major U.S. hospital center, transplant surgeons found that their patients suffered organ rejection after taking an immunosuppressant medication made by an Indian generic drug company. 
  • Poor-quality generic drugs are feeding the epidemic of drug resistance around the world.

In this show you will learn:

How iconic female writers and directors get treated in Hollywood or shall we say Shallow-wood?

Sally Wainwright is an English television writer, producer, and director from Yorkshire. Ms. Wainwright has single-handedly revitalized British TV and won many prestigious awards.  After wide European recognition, she journeyed to Hollywood to see how Yankees would receive her and collaborate with her talent. This turned out not to be the case. What is happening to American culture?

If you are a woman and under 34 and not stick thin… watch out. You are not valued as much. In this show we discuss what to do about this!

You will also learn about the Washington State University study, published in the Building and Environment Journal, that found “surprisingly high” levels of pollutants including formaldehyde and mercury detected inside energy efficient modern homes, with harmful pollutants spiking at certain times of the day as temperatures rose.

Indoor air pollution used to be thought to be static. With California’s CARB2 regulatory actions, we thought we were safer. But air tight homes are becoming air tight boxes filled with cancer-causing substances.

In this show you will also discover steps to shop for healthier materials or protect yourself from potentially  harmful materials already filling your air.

People think of air pollution as an outdoor problem, but home is where much of our pollution is. This is bad news. But the good news is, it’s your home and you can do many protective things about it.

You will also learn:

  • About alternative home care.
  • Pyrethroids, the chrysanthemum bug scam.
  • And more!

This show deals with the lack of authenticity in humanity throughout time and up to today, especially in medicine, hormones and even peer review science.

Listen and learn how doctor’s voting down FDA back of bioidentical hormones often choose bioidentical hormones for themselves. Why? They are safer and more effective. Their claim. No peer review trials. Are there any peer review trials on the synthetic hormones now available? No. The only randomized trial on hormones (Prempro – horse urine along with MPA) were prematurely stopped as the synthetic progestins causes issues.

You will learn about science and what the ex-editor (for two decades)  of the most prestigious scientific journal in the world today (New England Journal of Medicine) has to say about trusting science and many physicians.

You will also hear:

  • About the role of satiety hormones and Alzheimer’s disease.
  • About oxytocin and couple’s alcohol counseling.
  • The role of the gut and Parkinson’s disease especially constipation and appendix removal.
  • How women deal with stress differently than males and that stress hormones is women boost hunger hormone (ghrelin) which then can damage eggs sitting in reserve in the ovaries.
  • What Dr. David Hawkin (functional psychiatrist turned metaphysical teacher) has to say about how the masses can be so easily controlled.

 

Dr. Berkson shares in her somewhat poetic voice, why authenticity is so elusive (it has been this way since the beginning of mankind).

Discover how you might develop authenticity in yourself and why you would want to do so. Learn how to better tell if others are “for” you or “against” you.

In the world there have always been the “few” trying to control the “many”. But today many are trying to get our attention, money and respect. Learning how to be more authentic and discern authenticity in others, or lack of, are great tools.  You will gain some of these assets by the end of this marvelous show.

In this show you will learn:

  • Eating less and moving more aren’t working, in 2019, to lose weight.
  • Partially because of obesogens
  • Exactly what these are.
  • How they are contributing to the ever growing obesity epidemic.
  • How chemicals can make our fat cells nasty, unfair and non-responsive to life style changes.
  • How obesogens are “transgenerational” (passed on to your offspring).
  • How weight-inducing chemicals are ubiquitous.
  • That obesogens lurk in food, furniture, plastic products and other surprising places.

In his new book, THE OBESOGEN EFFECT, Dr. Bruce Blumberg describes how obesogens work, where they are found, and offers a practical three-step solution for reducing exposures and setting a straight course for better health.

Pomegranates are as close to a miracle food as Mother Nature gets. Pomegranates protect your heart, safeguard your estrogens, “sensitize” insulin receptors better than many diabetic drugs without nasty side effects, slow down aging, and fight cancer.

 

Pomegranates fight against lots of bad stuff.

  • Anti-inflammatory
  • Anti-oxidant
  • Anti-bad cholesterol
  • Anti-heart disease
  • Anti-kidney disease
  • Anti-cognitive disease
  • Anti-diabetic
  • Anti-obesity
  • Anti-carcinogenic

 

Pomegranates support a lot of good actions:

  • Pro-nitric oxide availability and levels
  • Pro-kidney health
  • Pro-blood vessel health
  • Pro-heart health
  • Pro-bone health
  • Pro-immune supportive
  • Pro-mitochondrial support
  • Pro-brain protection

 

In this show you will learn exactly how pomegranates protect heart health:

  • Makes APOCIII genetic glitches work better.
  • Lowers bad cholesterol
  • Lowers Oxidized Cholesterol
  • Makes cholesterol less dangerous and less sticky.
  • Boosts enzymes that keep blood fats healthier.
  • Reduces size of plaque (atherosclerotic lesions).
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Reduce Blood clotting
  • Increases nitric oxide
  • Treats angina

You’ll discover that allparts of pomegranates contain healthy plant compounds.

  • The reddish kernel(referred to as a pomegranate “aril”), and
  • The whitish seed corein the middle of the kernel where the distinct oiland fiber
  • Pomegranate juicecontains all of these components, though it contains more available sugars then chewing the arils whole.

Hard to conceive that pomegranates contain a one-of-a-kind omega fatty acid, omega-5 fatty acid. No other plant on earth contains this special compound. You will hear what omega-5 fatty acid does for the human body, including liver, brain, breast and prostate tissue.

It is rather stunning to realize that numerous scientific articles conclude that pomegranates are type-2 diabetics best friend. Why?  Because Punicicacid, the main ingredient of pomegranateomega-5 seed oil, is a “peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma” agonist. This means it signals insulin receptors. Yet, unlike synthetic insulin signalers, such as the diabetic family of drugs called thiazolidinedione’s, pomegranate oil has no nasty side effects.

Pomegranates also fight insulin resistance..

You will hear a discussion on pomegranates as an “Adaptogenic Food Estrogen” and how consuming pomegranates regularly effects sex steroid hormones, such as estrogen.

Pomegranates also fight cancer. The compounds in the arils fight tumors cells as well as inhibit cancer stem cells. It's cancer stem cells that cause most of cancer recurrences.

Pomegranateseed oil blocks most (90% inhibition) of proliferation of ER+ laboratory breast cancer cells (called MCF-7cells, first harvested from a nun and then cultured continually in experimental cancer labs all over the world).

Pomegranates cause 54% of cancer cell death in ER- breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-435).

Pomegranates are strikingly kidney protective and reduce both renal and heart complications in kidney patients down the road.

After this show you will know exactly what a pomegranate aril is, where to get it and how often to consume it. And you will realize the few pomegranate contraindications.

This show is jammed packed with “food as medicine” facts! Also, don’t miss Berkson Blog on pomegranates coming soon, too, at drlindseyberkson.com

Dr. Zach Bush is one of the few triple board-certified physicians in the country with expertise in Internal Medicine, Endocrinology and Metabolism, and Hospice/Palliative care. Yet, besides medical science, Dr. Bush has now focused his research and spirit toward the planet and it’s link with the human gut. Dr. Bush started out designing chemotherapy drugs and now formulates nutraceuticals that can overcome ubiquitous toxins, such as his revolutionary liquid gut product: “Restore”.

In this show you join in on a dynamic dialogue that inspires you to rethink not only how you eat and live, but also what it means to be a conscious and engaged human occupying this precious planet we all share.

Dr. Bush’s new research and nutraceuticals link macrocosm and microcosm. Listen to learn what that means. You will understand subjects like soil degeneration and regeneration and why eating “phallus” shaped tubers and beans boosts your health as much if not more than greens. You’ll also learn exactly how and why to cook your rice in a unique and easy manner.

Dr. Bush reminds us it’s time to stop messing around. Mankind is ruining the body of our planet and of ourselves. It’s now or never to get educated and to take back control of our personal well-being and that of the Mother Earth we inhabit.

Dr. Bush’s research unearthed a family of “carbon-based redox molecules” made by bacteria. Dr. Bush demonstrated that this cellular communication network functions to compensate for glyphosate, and many other dietary, chemical, and pharmaceutical toxins that disrupt our body's natural defense systems. 

Dr. Bush’s science resulted in a new class of dietary supplements, including the liquid product, RESTORE. Use of this daily, according to Dr. Bush, helps reboot the microbiome and protect it from pollutants such as glyphosate, that is ubiquitous in air, food, and even in our rain.
