B. LaValle, R.Ph., C.C.N. M.T. DHM, DHPh, is an internationally recognized Heart and Immune Health Expert with over 37 years of clinical experience. He is a clinical pharmacist, author, board-Certified Clinical Nutritionist, and founder of Metabolic Code Enterprises, Inc. I highly recommend his book, Your Blood Never Lies: How to Read a Blood Test for a Longer, Healthier Life, and his groundbreaking bestseller, Cracking the Metabolic Code: 9 Keys to Optimal Health. Our topic this week was: Your HEART & IMMUNE Health Strategy this season! We also took a few listener questions. Mr Lavalle’s appearance was arranged by our long time sponsor, Kyolic Aged Garlic. This links to their Omeg-AGE formula and this one to the Immune Product that Jim discussed. To review all products, CLICK HERE.

I want to call attention to the important role of the Vagus nerve in our bodies. No, I didn’t misspell it. The Vegas nerve is the one that allows you to bet the San Francisco 49ers would win the Super Bowl or to bet that the game would NOT go into overtime and be decided by only 3 points.

The vagus nerve runs from the brain through the neck and on to the digestive system. It supplies nerve messages to the digestion, heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, immune response, mood, mucus and saliva production, skin / muscle sensations, speech, swallowing, taste and urine production. Nerve energy also goes back to the brain. As you can see, it is very important. This article by the Mayo Clinic goes into greater detail and discusses the use of vagus nerve stimulation for depression, stroke recovery, epilepsy and other issues. That article and this one by the Cleveland Clinic talk about implantable medical devices to stimulate the nerve. I found this site with natural methods.

Because I noticed that my hands were often shaky after my back injury, Dr. Darcy Brunk reminded me that a microcurrent device I had would be good to try. I used it as he instructed for a few minutes with a wand attachment, stroking the left vagus nerve in my neck. By golly, the tremor stopped. (The right nerve connects to the heart and might be better avoided unless that is your target.) Those who have listened to the Healthy by Nature show for many years may remember that Avazzia was a sponsor. They make the device I linked to (the Blue) and the Ezzi Lift facial tool. Some listeners probably have one of these. I do and plan to try it if the tremor comes back.

These items were called to my attention by the American Botanical Council

• Are Edibles Safer Than Smoking? The New York Times. January 29, 2024. The comparison between cannabis edibles and smoking remains complex, with limited research suggesting that edibles may offer a potentially less harmful alternative to smoking, though both methods share long-term and short-term health risks associated with cannabis consumption.

• More Kids Are Being Treated for Eating Marijuana-Laced Gummies, Other Edibles at Home. USA Today January 4, 2024 reported that a recent study published in Pediatrics reveals a significant rise in the number of young children, particularly toddlers aged 2 or 3, being hospitalized after accidentally consuming marijuana edibles. That has prompted calls for better packaging, labeling, and storage practices to reduce unintentional exposures. 

•  ‘Furry Fruit’ Improves Mental Health – Fast. Science Daily, January 24, 2024 noted that recent research from the University of Otago highlights the rapid mood-boosting effects of kiwifruit, reaffirming its potency as a powerful mood enhancer.

Healthy by Nature believes in getting to and fixing the root cause of health problems rather than simply suppressing the symptoms and managing the decline in health. I am absolutely thrilled with this week’s topic because nothing illustrates more clearly how to fix the root cause of a problem than stem cell therapy does. Stem cells built our bodies from the beginning and have repaired and renewed them our whole lives. If only our supply didn’t decline with age. Well, there is real hope for healing by giving them a boost. We talk with Darcy Brunk, DC about how easy it is to replenish our supply of these tiny miracle workers. We discuss exciting success stories and interview someone whose whole family’s life was dramatically changed by Infiniti Matrix (a specific and superior source of stem cell therapy).
