Colon Cancer rates are increasing amongst young people. It seems that we are losing the "war in cancer."
This may be because we are failing to recognize the enemy in our midst. This podcast explores some of the lesser appreciated risk factors for increasing the risk of cancer. Unfortunately some of those risk factors include treatments rendered by conventional medicine, and diagnostic procedures that we are frequently exposed to. This podcast highlights some of those risks, and gives you tactics that you can...2021-10-0516 minIntellectual MedicineThe endless pandemic; how to survive in a world with forever Covid-19Covid-19, Delta, Gamma, Covid-20, Covid-21, it's starting to look like this will never end.
Viruses have been with us since the dawn of mankind. Yet we have thrived despite them. We can credit our innate immune system with the fact that most of us get up and carve through every day feeling great.
One of the ironic aspects of the current pandemic is the consequence of our overreaching diagnostic capabilities. Because we can now "diagnose" somebody who feels great but is simply carrying a virus, we have created an unprecedented level of societal concern. Never b...2021-09-2818 minIntellectual MedicineShould you get a Covid "booster" shot? Should we be "spiking " the curve?

And yet, cancer is on track to become the leading cause of death in America.

Without a highly functioning natural immune system, not even an immunization will help protect you.

That refers to our ability to smack away infections before we even know we have been exposed.

The simple fact is that viruses are not curable. The best means of diminishing their risk is through immunization. However, this fact does not mean that those who decide not to get the immunization are acting irrationally. Science and facts don't drive human decisions as much as philosophy.
In addition to reflecting on the immunization, Dr. Petteruti explains why masking may present a greater risk than the immunization, or perhaps the disease itself.
