Have you seen a viral email or an ad in a magazine making seemingly outlandish claims for apple cider vinegar? My first guest, Larry Trivieri, Jr., has done the research and helped us separate myth from natural magic. He is the author of Apple Cider Vinegar: Nature’s Most Versatile and Powerful Remedy. Speaking of outlandish claims, the government propaganda that vitamin D is only important for bones is crazy talk. It appears that the sunshine vitamin may well be protective against allergies, arthritis, asthma, autism, autoimmune conditions, brain problems, breast cancer, depression, diabetes, dementia, heart disease, infections, pain and well most everything including death from all causes.

My second guest, Richard W. Walker, Jr., MD, returned to talk about vitamin D. Please be doubly sure to tell your African American friends to listen to this show which could be a lifesaver for them. Deficiency of vitamin D is a major problem in that community and is reflected in their worrisome health statistics. Dr. Walker’s book is African-American Healthy: What You Need to Know to Protect Your Health. Check out the non-profit Vitamin D Council.org.
