Title: Exploring Research Showing the Power of Adult Stem Cells

We dive into an exciting item from the New England Journal of Medicine that shares research done regarding Adult Stem Cells and their role in helping Cardiovascular illness. Even though the research is a few years old, it is still providing excellent evidence toward an understanding of how powerful this healing system of our body is. Join us!

Title New Treatments for Neuropathy: Take Control of Your Pain!

Neuropathy is a condition in which the peripheral nerves in the body become damaged. Multiple conditions, such as diabetes, chemotherapy treatments for cancer, or infections (e.g., shingles), can lead to neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy can be acute or chronic and affects the feet, hands, legs, arms, and even the neck and face.

You must consult medical experts when dealing with a complex problem like neuropathy. It is said that more than 30 million people are living with neuropathy in the United States. Whether your condition is mild or severe, there are different types of treatments available that can help in reducing pain and inflammation. You can choose from topical pain medication to prescription medications to alternative treatments as well. In this episode, we take a quick look at some of the treatment options for neuropathy.  

Title: Treating Wounds With Low-Level Electrical Therapy: New Research

People suffering from chronic non-healing wounds are usually recommended exercises by their doctor or physiotherapist to strengthen muscles and improve circulation, which are vital for a healthy recovery. A new study suggests that low-level electrostimulation therapy could also be used to treat such wounds, as this therapy has previously been shown to increase metabolic functioning in treated tissues through increased mitochondrial activity in skeletal muscle tissue (in mice). The studies listed below describe some of the research related to electrostimulation therapies and wound healing that is available currently.  Jump into this interesting research with us on the podcast!

Title: Mammogram? No Thanks! At Least, the Swiss Think So.

The Swiss Medical Board is stirring things up. We know – they’re supposed to be neutral, right down the middle. They take a neutral approach. Not, however, when the subject is mammograms.

In an issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, the Swiss step squarely into the “no” category when it comes to the use of mammograms. Their concern roots itself in the review of the literature and studies surrounding the procedure. There seems to be a gap in the perception and reality of the effectiveness of mammograms. So much so that they felt compelled to strongly recommend that women stop getting mammograms. Immediately. Right now. Pronto.

The interesting part? The reaction of the larger medical community. The two concerns: 1) It goes against what we thought we knew. 2) Women are going to be upset with the news. This is the pushback? Listen to our podcast for some insight in the matter.

Title: Why Radioactive Isotopes Surround Us: And What You Can Do To Protect Yourself

Look ma! I’m glowing!

It’s our worst nightmare. Radioactive clouds from some nearby damaged Nuclear plant singe our defenseless bodies, and we grow a third eye like those fish on The Simpsons. Don’t tell us this thought never crossed your mind. We know better.

The real issue? We don’t need to live nearby for radiation from an event like Fukushima to affect us. As one Canadian high school student just figured out – the fallout has arrived! Don’t panic, though. You have options and ways to protect yourself from these gnarly toxins. Check out our podcast for insights on what to do and how to thrive in this crazy Nuclear age!

Title: Retinitis Pigmentosa Treatment Now! Part 3 of 3: There is Hope for Sight

Hope. Boy, do we need it these days, especially with the challenges we face? As we’ve discussed, a lack of hope—when it comes to eye disease—plays a significant role in one's ability to work with and overcome the effects these diseases can have. It creates despair, which works against any kind of healing. It darkens the world, adding a burden to what the person already carries.

When we say Hope, we mean an openness to the possible, to the curious. Sure, one set of experts may say there is no hope, and ultimately, they may be right. But that does not mean I should stop looking or stop being curious. Hope allows for all things to be possible and for that possibility to have room to come into our lives if we let it.

For thirty years, individuals with serious eye diseases have found hope in Grace Halloran's and the Better Eye Health Program's work. They found hope, repair, and a reversal. We know this to be true.

Here is Part Three in our series on Retinitis Pigmentosa. This episode focuses on some of the Better Eye Health Program's treatment components, especially microcurrent stimulation. The whole program is covered at OrganicMD.com and in our book Stem Cells Heal Your Eyes.

Title: Retinitis Pigmentosa Treatment Now! Part 2 of 3: When You Limit Your Mind, You Limit Possibility

The mind is powerful. It can be the source of our strength and our demise – sometimes all in the same day. The power of suggestion or a certain message can have a great impact, especially if that message repeats itself repeatedly. If a negative “I’m not worth anything” message repeats itself in your mind – and is repeated by others in your life – then this message becomes the truth. From there, it can be very difficult to break free and find a better message to support you.

Here at Organic MD, we see this scenario all the time, especially with illness. If I am told over and over that “nothing can be done” for my illness or condition, well, that starts to become my truth. Nothing can be done is tethered to a message of hopelessness., a message of helplessness.

This is Part Two in our series on Retinitis Pigmentosa, an illness for which the phrase “nothing can be done” is all too familiar. Thankfully, thanks to people like Grace Halloran, we know that much can be done to not only stop but reverse this illness. She did this despite great negativity and little support from the medical world. Amazingly, despite her success and the ongoing work of the Better Eye Health Program, this “nothing can be done” attitude still exists.

Incredible.

Part Two focuses on the research being done on Retinitis Pigmentosa. This poses a challenge since, for all the money spent on research, the solutions are few. Everyone wants one big action rather than seeing that many smaller actions work better and more long-term. The point is that there are things you can do now. A new message presents itself then: “I can.”

Title: Retinitis Pigmentosa Treatment Now! Part 1 of 3: Your Genes Are Not Your Destiny

Serious eye disease is well…serious.

For many with these conditions, the message is one of no hope and few options for lasting treatment. Thirty years ago, this message bothered Grace Halloran, who felt that something could be done if you looked closely at the problem. She did just that, and now we have a program many use to reverse their eye disease. So there is hope, after all.

We at Organic MD are dedicated to this approach to health: looking at what is possible with effective methods of healing from different traditions. If it works, it’s worth exploring more. Sometimes, modern medicine forgets this and chooses to draw from a limited well. Grace reminds us that the power of curiosity can create positive change. Today’s podcast is Part One in a three-part series on Retinitis Pigmentosa and a treatment for this challenging disease. You can learn something about our basic healing system, which, if supported, works miracles.

Title Microcurrent Therapy: A Powerful Therapy That's Here For You Today

Have you heard of Microcurrent Stimulation therapy?

For the last thirty years, Microcurrent Stimulation therapy has proven to be a powerful tool in physical therapy. In 1985, Robert Becker, M.D., in the book The Body Electric, used microcurrent stimulation to regrow the limbs of rats. Yes, rats!

We are leading with a more fantastical example just so you know what’s in store. Soon after, sports medicine and physical therapy began to adopt this technology to speed up healing and recovery time for those with muscle and tissue injuries. Not only does it encourage blood flow, but it also serves as a method for activating Adult Stem Cells. These cells are part of our natural healing system, which these types of injuries greatly benefit from.

About twenty years ago, Grace Halloran realized that this amazing technology could improve the eye program she developed for degenerative eye diseases. Microcurrent stimulation helps the eye tissue heal faster and speeds up the other techniques she developed for the benefit of the eyes. We continue to use the Microstim 100i Le unit with great results in our Better Eye Health program. 

More recently, I’ve heard of people exploring the use of microcurrent stimulation to aid in pain management for dental surgery and even Shingles. We can accomplish so much by simply being open to what is possible. This is very inspiring. Our podcast explores this proven technology and its potential role in healing. We need ways to encourage our Adult Stem Cells, and microcurrent stimulation is a great way to do it. Having used it so extensively, Dr. Miller is a great resource for speaking about this important therapy.

Title: Caring for Your Healthy Body: Protect Yourself from Radiation

Pull up a chair and get ready for another Organic MD podcast. Dr. Miller discusses how to rethink radiation and what to do to achieve daily radiation protection. Misconceptions abound regarding radiation exposure, how radiation appears in our environment, and what it does to us on a daily basis. Radiation side effects can creep in quietly, so the more you can protect yourself, the better. Join us!

Title: There is Hope in Your Autoimmune Battle

At Organic MD, we’ve been concerned with autoimmune diseases. The subject is complex but affects a large portion of the population. This is partly due to the level of toxins and other stresses that constantly bombard us regularly. Over time, our bodies struggle to fight back, eventually breaking down. Since we see this frequently, we must keep exploring more facets of this important issue.

Our podcast reviews these and provides some insight from Dr. Miller about the issue as a whole. The more we investigate autoimmune issues, the more we find. If you are working to heal from autoimmune issues, your best bet is to be diligent about the Five Factors and learn what you can about what might be affecting you. There is hope.

Title: Stem Cells Heal Your Eyes

We published the book Stem Cells Heal Your Eyes a couple of years ago. It’s the first time we have written down the history and details of our Better Eye Health Program so that people can understand this unique approach to healing degenerative eye disease.

Grace Halloran, who developed the initial program, worked tirelessly for years to find ways to reverse the eye disease of herself, her son, and her family. No small task, given how much resistance, negativity, and hopelessness she had thrown at her from doctors and others. What would the world be without those individuals willing to face adversity to help others? We feel blessed for her presence in this crazy world.

Our podcast this week discusses the book and highlights some of the overarching messages we hope to convey in its pages. Some people are confused about the title, thinking we advocate stem cell injections. We propose supporting your body through diet and other means so that it creates more adult stem cells. That’s right. You have all you need right inside you. Injections don’t help you make life-long beneficial changes.

Each of us has an amazing system that creates Adult Stem Cells. These cells do all sorts of things, but they mainly help heal the body after trauma. They are quite amazing. When we eat well, reduce our stress, exercise, and do other things to support our bodies, these cells become a powerful resource for stopping and reversing many kinds of illness. The program we have through the Better Eye Health program consistently shows that we can achieve this healing. We can harness this incredible resource within us. Join us for the podcast!

Title: We Love Food Except When It Makes Sick

Food Glorious Food. Except when it makes you feel crumby.

Our new podcast delves into food sensitivities and how to take hold of them. Sometimes, the best skill is awareness. Your body can give you excellent information about the foods you are sensitive to if you pay attention. That’s the key, though – paying attention.

Recently, I did a juice cleanse for three days. Hard work but worth it. I cut out wheat, dairy, and coffee for about three weeks before. A couple of days after the cleanse, I had some toast with a meal, and it took me the rest of the day to recover. I knew gluten could be an issue for me, but now I see it. Time away from it, plus the extra cleanse, gave me a chance to clear my system. Going back to wheat, I received quick feedback; from there, I could choose to stay away from gluten. Our podcast explores this issue further, building on some of the posts from the past few months. We intend to continue digging deeper and sharing insights with you.

Title: When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Hot Lemon Water: The Wonder of Lemon Juice

A few weeks ago, we shared a simple recipe for Hot Lemon Water. It’s about the easiest thing to do, and boy, is it good for you. We quickly became amazed at the response to the post, especially on Facebook. (Yes, we have a Facebook page). Several people shared that hot lemon water was a long-time staple in their lives, some of whom had even grown up with it. This reassured us that this valuable wisdom continues to be passed down from generation to generation. If it’s good and it works, we should keep it.

Our newest podcast explores the wonders of lemon juice a bit more. It also discusses acidic and alkaline foods and how to get the right ones into your body. This process can be counterintuitive, so understanding it helps.

Title: Your Favorite Food Might Just Be Your Enemy

Favorite food, my enemy? That’s not fair. I might even say it’s cruel.

Sadly, at Organic MD, we repeatedly see this. When people remove food from their diet, their health improves. Often, it’s a food they love, but improved health wins out. These days, our sensitivity to foods is nothing short of a complex maze created by many factors. So much so that it becomes futile to try and figure out the “why” of a reaction. The first and best step is to start with the “what”. Our podcast today looks at the subject of food sensitivity in a little more depth so that we can support you in making better choices. Check it out.

Title: Cholesterol! Revealing Information About Today's Hot Topic

Are you worried about your Cholesterol these days? You might be, especially with all the information and Misinformation about the subject. This week, Dr. Miller tackles the subject recklessly to see what all the fuss is about. Be ready to have your mind opened and changed. Your cholesterol might not be the scary monster you’ve been told about. Unless, of course, you eat cheeseburgers and only cheeseburgers with your fries. Just sayin'.

Title: Welcome to the Organic MD Podcast

Although we have done the Organic Podcast off and on for a few years now, we wanted to welcome any of you who are finding us for the first time. It is, after all, nice to be welcomed! Here at Organic MD, we are dedicated to wellness and health. We draw from decades of experience with approaching health from a wholistic perspective. If you attend to the physical. emotional, spiritual, and existential parts of ourselves, we can heal and stay well. This is knowledge that has been around for generations.

Title: 8 Things Your Mind Can Help Your Body Heal - Part 8 of 8: Your Mind Can Help Your Body Heal

This is the eighth of eight podcasts where we have talked about the different pieces of our Better Eye Health program, specifically what your doctor does not tell you. Your doctor does not tell you these diseases can be improved, that there are things you can do to reverse vision loss, and there are things under your control that make a huge difference in your overall health AND the health of your eyes. An element we see is how our mental and emotional wellness impacts our health directly. In this episode, we talk about this Body Mind Connection and how you can nourish a good balance between them.

Title: 8 Things Your Doctor Is Not Telling You About Your Eye Disease, Part 7 of 8: Your Genes Are Not Your Destiny

This is the seventh of eight talks we are putting together about the eye work we do to help people with chronic degenerative eye conditions like macular and retinal dystrophy. Some specific names include macular degeneration, Stargardt’s disease, retinitis pigmentosa, and cone-rod dystrophy. We also help people who have severe glaucoma and separated retinas. Our eyes need a lot of support to heal themselves because they can. Today, we will discuss the genetics behind these diseases, especially the idea that your genes are not your destiny. Let me say it again: your genes are not your destiny! This is a core message you need to hold close to so that you can transform these diseases. Listen to the Podcast!

Title: 8 Things Your Doctor Is Not Telling You About Your Eye Disease, Part 6 of 8: Here are Some Powerful Tools to Regenerate Your Vision

In this podcast, we will jump in with both feet and talk about a subject at the core of our work in the Better Eye Health program. There are powerful tools that support regeneration, and it is essential to understand how you can help your eyes if you have a serious retinal challenge, like macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, Stargardt’s disease, etc. I am not some magic sorcerer who has a way to take cells that are damaged and replace or repair them. I do know the body knows how to do this; your body can help you heal your eyes. I cannot heal your eyes, but I can help your body have the necessary tools and resources. We ensure everything that needs to be working works so your body can heal your eyes. Join us!

Title: 8 Things Your Doctor is Not Telling You About Your Eye Disease, Part 5 of 8: Toxicity is an Obstacle to Healing Your Eyes

In this episode, we are covering toxicity, which is part five of the eight-part series about things your doctor does not tell you when you are diagnosed with a retinal disease, like macular degeneration, Stargardt’s, or retinitis pigmentosa. Toxicity is something I wrestle with while talking with people in my office all the time. It is not the cause of a disease; it is an obstacle to getting better, no matter what kind of health problem. No matter what you are doing, toxicity gets in the way, and it can stop any progress from happening. It has to be addressed. People always wonder if they are toxic, but how do you find out? We will talk about what you can do.

Title: 8 Things Your Doctor is Not Telling You About Your Eye Disease, Part 4 of 8: Heal Your Diet and Heal Your Eyes

Today, this is the fourth of eight podcasts on Organic MD. We will discuss our Better Eye Health program, which helps people with serious eye diseases like macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, and Stargardt’s disease. We have a very effective program for stopping and reversing the progression of these diseases and, to some extent, allowing people to get their vision back that has been lost. I want to mention how important your diet is – what you choose to eat and how you eat it, not just taking supplements. The Benefits of improving your diet can go beyond your wildest dreams. Tune in to learn more.

Title: 8 Things Your Doctor is Not Telling You About Your Eye Disease, Part 3 of 8. Hint: Your Vision Can Improve.

We are continuing this series on macular degeneration and, specifically, things that we can do around it. Today we are focusing on something mentioned in the last session, which is exploring supplements as one of the many things we can do. Your ophthalmologist may suggest or hand you a little packet of vitamins as they are hustling you out the door. They offer a consolation prize, one piece in an array of things you can do to help reverse the situation of degenerative eye disease. Supplements are important. The quality of them is essential. We will talk more about this for Part 3.

Title: 8 Things Your Doctor Will Not Tell You About Eye Disease: You Need More than Your Doctor is Offering

We continue our discussion about health, wellness, and the things we can do to improve all of these in ourselves. We are going to be talking about what we can do to maintain your health. If there was ever a time to be attending to it, that time is now. Today we will begin talking about our Better Eye Health Program. We work with people with severe eye or retinal diseases, like macular degeneration, Stargardt’s disease, and retinitis pigmentosa. Our program has shown to be highly effective in helping people with these diseases. It was a program developed by Grace Halloran, PhD, who was facing vision loss for herself and her son. Despite being told there was nothing she could do, she developed a program that reversed the situation for both of them. We continued her program, helping many in the process.

Title: 8 Things Your Doctor Does Not Tell You If You Have Macular Degeneration, Stargardt or Retinitis Pigmentosa

The first of an eight-part series on degenerative eye disease. If you have, or know someone close to you, that has been diagnosed with a degenerative eye disease, things like macular degeneration, stargardt disease (which is basically just the juvenile form of macular degeneration), or retinitis pigmentosa, then this will be of interest.

These are diseases that are now the major causes of blindness in people over 65 (other than Stargardt disease). In over 40 years in our practice, we have found ways to work with these diseases, to deal with and even reverse the vision loss that those diseases cause. And that's really what we're here to talk about. It's not something you'll hear about from your board-certified ophthalmologist. They won't tell you about it even if they know about it. But they are going to tell you that they don't have anything to offer you. Hopefully, you found this podcast because you won't accept that there's nothing you can do. You're out there looking, and you found us. And so we're here today to begin telling you about what you need to know. You can heal your vision.

During the current COVID-19 pandemic, we recommend taking Vitamin D3 supplements year-round. A compelling body of evidence demonstrates the safety and effectiveness of D3 supplementation in increasing immunity to colds, flu, and even novel viruses like COVID-19. This short paper will discuss peer-reviewed literature, dosing recommendations, and safety data on Vitamin D3 supplementation, and provide a brief discussion of the biology of Vitamin D3 in humans. Vitamin D3 is cheap, easy to use, safe, and it works. Even if you already take adequate Vitamin D3, this short paper provides valuable background and useful recommendations.

When considering a treatment, doctors always balance the risks against the benefits. When few or no treatments are available, and a treatment is less than 100% proven but has zero risk, it is prudent to use that treatment.
