    ApothecaMD Natural Medicine Podcast

    A spicy blend of medical and food science to improve and sustain your personal health and for those you love. Food is medicine, and medicine is science. Tune in and listen to medical and nutritional experts discuss breaking medical and food science of spices, nutraceuticals and some amazingly healthy recipes. We discuss these topics within a framework of Integrative medicine. Integrative medicine brings conventional and natural medicine together in a coordinated way. Integrative medicine also emphasizes multimodal interventions which are two or more interventions such as conventional medicine, lifestyle changes, physical rehabilitation, psychotherapy, and complementary health. Integrative medicine emphasizes whole person rather than one organ system. Call in to our toll-free number to leave a recipe or question for experts to discuss opinions and perspectives. The number is 888-417-1481 if dialing from the USA, and +1 888-417-1481 for international calls.

    Omega 396 oils and Lung Health

    Bronchiectasis is characterized by neutrophilic inflammation and frequent exacerbations often associated with infections. Lipid mediators play critical roles in the inflammatory response, and the balance between anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory mediators could drive to chronic inflammation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the metabolites of docosahexaenoic acid and arachidonic acid in sputum of adults with bronchiectasis defining their associations with clinical data, bacterial load and neutrophil elastase.

    Organ Meat and blood health (Anemia part 4)

    Organ Meat and blood health (Anemia part 4)

    Lots of empirical and anecdotal evidence utilizing organ meat for optimum health. The kidney produces erythropoietin which is an important hormone stimulating bone marrow to produce red blood cells. Does it make sense to include kidney organ meat to promote optimum blood health? Erythopoietin is absorbed orally and is abundant in kidney organ meat. The amount of scientific evidence available about kidney organ meat is scarce whereas recombinant Erythropoietin sources from pharmaceutical companies are abundant. Making sense of scant science on Kidney organ meat and optimum blood health is the primary goal of today's podcast. I also discuss an unfortunate development of FDA regulation on organ meat and defining a natural product as a 'biologic' drug and thereby falling under the regulation of a political body rife with lobbyists and global pharmaceutical companies having a vested interest in shareholders and not consumers.
