Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now here's a highlight. From Coast to Coast AM on
iHeart Radio twice a month for two hours each time.
With our sponsors and our partners Critical health news dot Com,
we bring you segments on health issues that can affect you,
that will hopefully help you. Tonight, pharmacists been back with
us on Coast to Coast. Registered pharmacist and nutritionist, cosmetic

(00:22):
chemist has been compounding custom medication for years now. He
is an accomplished speaker and of course a regular guest
here on Coast to Coast. He is part of the
Critical Health News dot Com team. Ben, Welcome to the program.
We've got so many questions for you, and of course
we'll start phone calls early with you because people are
calling already. Story. It's nice to talk to you again.

(00:45):
This story about chemotherapy may spreading cancer something we always
suspected and now in a study they're saying it happens. Well,
you know, these are things that biochemists understood and healthcare
professionals have known. Sin chemotherapist. Right, chemotherapy shuts down the
growth of cells. But that's the very logic of it.

(01:05):
Cancer cells are proliferating, dividing rapidly, so the logic is,
we don't, we just give chemotherapy and will slow down
the growth of self. However, as it turns out the
immune system, the cells of the immune system are also
dividing rapidly, The cells of the digestive system are also
dividing rapidly. The cells of the skin are also dividing rapidly,
and so by suppressing cell growth, you end up suppressing

(01:26):
the cells of the immune system, the cells of the
digestive system, and the cells of the skin. And this
is why people on chemotherapy notoriously have digestive problems, they
have skin health problems, and they have immune problems. The
logic of shutting down the immune system, George, of shutting
down the body's biochemical defense weaponry beggars believe it's craziness. Now,

(01:47):
I understand that if you have if you have cancer,
you get desperate, you want to do, you need to
do what you have to do. But there's absolutely no
way you are going to avoid shutting down cell division
and cell growth, particularly of the digesticyst in the skin
and the immune system. And when that happens, of course,
you're a little likelihood of of further cancers as well

(02:08):
as further immune problems is going to is going to proceed.
This is why people have these disastrous side effects, George.
When we have cancer, and we have cancer cells, they
are our cells. So by killing yourselves, your cancer selves,
you're killing your very own selves. When a cell turns cancerous,
it takes years and years and years of environmental toxicity.

(02:32):
By that, I mean cellular environmental toxicity. Sugar and and
drugs and alcohol and cigarettes, smoke. It's cancer doesn't really
occur unless the body is toxic. And unfortunately, George, we
have created an environment that is almost systematically and consciously
designed to create toxicity inside the body. And this is

(02:53):
why I'm on record and Dr Walak is on record,
and we talk all the time about how important it
is to get the good nutritional supplement program. That's the
only way we can defeat this toxic environment that we've
been born into and that we're condemned to live in.
Uh And there's really no way to clean it up,
at least in our lifetimes, but we can protect ourselves.

(03:14):
For every ten emails Bend that I get for you
and Dr Joy and Conaway and Doc Walack, I will
get maybe two people who are vehemently opposed to supplementation.
I mean just vehement. I mean they they hate you guys.
It's tragic, it's awful, and it's so sad, and a

(03:35):
lot of it, in fairness to those folks, a lot
of it is because people don't supplement strategically. They just
take the latest formula or the single single vitamin here
or there. The reason the supplementation doesn't work for everybody,
and the reason why sometimes it gets a bad rap,
is because it's not done in a conscious and strategic fashion.
And that's why at Critical Health News we're so adamant

(03:57):
about what we call the Mighty cent Nutrients and the
Healthy Start Pack. I don't like this idea of what
I call this for that, where you take this vitamin
for that ailment, or you take this particular formula for
that s well. Doc Walach refuses in In the beginning,
when I just started to get to know him, it
was frustrating because I would ask him a question about

(04:20):
what supplement are you talking about? And he won't say,
he won't single it out because he as he says,
and rightfully so now as I've learned, he said, it's
the encompassing package. It's not just that one thing. It's
like when you play baseball, you know you've got nine players.
It's not like the third basement is more important than

(04:40):
the shortstop or the catcher. You can have the best
eight players in the world, but if you don't have
a center field or you're not gonna win many games.
Nutritional supplementation and nutrients, what we call the mighty ninety nutrients,
essential nutrients, vitamins, mineral and essential fatty acids, and essential
meno acids are like players on a team. They're all important.
You can't be missing any of them. But unfortunately we

(05:01):
know that the way we eat today, because of food
processing and because of soil depletion, there's no way to
get the nutrients that the nineti essential nutrients that you
need simply by eating. Supplementing is an insurance policy to
assure that you get all the nutrients. And the reason
you have, as you say, two out of ten people
because of their experiences with all I took vitamin in

(05:22):
it and I still I still got a heart attack.
All Right, took vitamin C and I still got a cold. Right,
took zinc and I still got acne. Because it's not
a question of these individual nutrients. It's a question of
the entire mighty ninety essential system. I've got emails that
have been coming in, but I do want Carol to
know that, Carol, I'm going to get Ben this long

(05:43):
email you sent me because it's very complicated and I
want him to address it and look it over. So
for you, Carol, trust me, we'll get We'll get it
into Ben's hands and he can get it into dark
Walleck's hands if need be, and we'll take care of that. Now.
I do have an email in from Betty who says,
I've got problems with my adrenal glands. What do I do?
Join join the crowd. Every we all have problems with

(06:05):
what they do. Stress glands. They're the glands that help
our body handle stress. And what's more, and this is
so important, George, not only our our adrenal glands are
stress glands, that there are our youth and fertility glands
as well, which means that the more resources the adrenal
glands are spending helping us handle stress. And I'm not
just talking about psychological stress and emotional stress. I'm talking

(06:28):
about the stress of calories. I'm talking about the stress
of sugar. I'm talking about the stress of prescription drugs
and alcohol and cigarettes. The more the adrenal glands are
helping our body handle stress, the less they're making youth
and fertility hormones. The less we're able, the more resources
we're spending trying to deal with stress, the older we're
going to get, the more infertile we're going to get,

(06:50):
and the sicker we're going to get. Handling adrenal distress
or adrenal stress is the key to longevity and the
key to fertility, and the key to a long and
healthy life. I think so too. Ben will take calls
when we come back in just a moment. Tom's also
taking texts and tweets. Many questions just just come rolling

(07:11):
in for you, pharmacists, been from Critical Health News dot
com and again the number to call, not to get
on the show here, but to talk to a human
being about giving you some information one five five to radio.
We cherish that number. You have helped so many people
in your career. Been It's I can't tell you what

(07:32):
an honor and a pleasure it is that I get
to do. It is the greatest gift that you can
imagine every time I help somebody, my oxytoasin goes up,
my dopamine goes up, all my anti aging hormone goes on.
Hormones go up. And that's the beautiful thing about giving.
When we give, we get Were you always a giver?
Even when you were a kid. I learned at a
young age that I would benefit by by giving things

(07:55):
to people. You know, it says in the Bible to
love others as you love yourself. And what that means
to me is that when we give love to other people,
the love comes through us. We're the ones who get
the benefit by loving others. And conversely, when we don't
love others, when we're angry or when we're hateful, or
we're not forgiving, it's our blood pressure that goes up,
it's our cortisol that goes up, it's our longevity that's affected.

(08:17):
So to be giving and loving to me is the it.
It helps the giver and the lover more than it
helps the person who's receiving. That's why it's better to
give than it is to receive. Okay, here's one from
Bob and Tucson which I was very reluctant to give you.
It says please ask pharmacist ben, I have fungus in
my tone, hails, I'm not laughing, not laughing at him, No,

(08:42):
it's very common. Fungus in the tonenails represents the body's
excretion of that fungus, which is why commercials for antifungal
creams and laser therapy for killing fungus are so silly. Well,
I keep thinking those little lamasol creatures jumping up, and
the antifungal drugs that you get from the physician's office
are among the most toxic of all the medications that

(09:04):
you can get a fungus. When fungus accumulates, when used
accumulates in the body, which is secondary follows what's called
messed up gut bacteria or dis biosis. Bacteria in the
gut live in balance with fungus, and when we kill
off those bacteria by eating too much sugar or by
using antibiotics, or by drinking antibiotic laden water, the fungus

(09:25):
overgrow and tonail fungus represents the body's attempt to eliminate
the fungus. This is how beautiful the body is. It
uses skin and it uses the nail. It uses as
excretory routes. It's a way that the body is eliminating
the fungus. So to put medicine on the tonails isn't
going to help the fungus because the fungus is inside

(09:48):
the body. The best way to deal with fungal infections,
which are very common, is to make sure you focus
on digestive health. Messed up gut bacteria technically called disbiosis,
that simply means messed up gut bacteria is the key
to all health challenges. All health and all disease begins
in the gut, and excess fungus in the system represents

(10:11):
somehow the bacteria in the gut being killed off, most
most especially by antibiotics, although poor dietary strategies a player
role as well. We had a caller called last night
to talk to Judge Jim Gray as we were talking
about relaxing drug laws, and she was able to get
herself off of pain killers. It took a while, but

(10:32):
she got herself off pain killers. Those are addictive, aren't they?
Oh my goodness, that is a horrible, horrible scourge. And
by the way, you were talking about relaxing drug laws,
there's a substance called CB d Have you heard of this?
I have not. CBD is and is a fraction of
the marijuana plan called technically it's called Cannaba dial that's
got some incredible benefits for a pain relief. I mean

(10:53):
absolutely mind blowing for pain relief. It's not marijuana doesn't
get you high or it doesn't get you intoxicated in
any way, but us of those benefits. Listen to more
