This week Dr. Jack and Mary go into the mail bag, to highlight some terrific questions and feedback from listeners to the show, and hopefully educate along the way.

We have a wide array of topics we are covering here from heartburn to hemorrhoids, prenatal supplements to cancer, and many more.

You are the reason we do this show, and this week is all about you and the types of questions our listeners give us that could help many of you. In all cases the advice given is meant for particular patients and not intended to change someone's existing medications or treatment plan, but many people still don't see how everyday maladies and concerns can be managed and even reversed, by nourishing the body with whole food concentrates.

This week, get a glimpse of the types of nutritional counseling sessions we hold all the time in our clinic, and what targeted protocols do to achieve this.

We want to say right up front that organ donations have saved countless lives, turning tragic circumstances for one family into wonderful circumstances for another family.

We are not against the principles of donating organs to those in need when a terminal illness or serious accident causes death without severe damage to some or many organs. The problem, as usual, is the commerce attached to this end of the health care spectrum.

With nebulous definitions of "brain death" and "death", the organ donation industry has crossed the line more than once, into ethical grey areas where it is not at all clear that the donor had no chance for life of their own.

With doctors calling for a new ethics around organ donation, Dr. Jack and Mary take a deeper look at this phenomenon. What sort of boundaries can and should be established that aren't in place today? Tune in to be shocked.

Locking or locked jaw symptoms can be serious or even deadly. First, there is the obvious problem of adequate breathing and eating if your jaw is preventing or impeding your mouth from opening normally.

But a locked jaw situation can mean a number of more serious infections or even parasite infestations. And if one family member is infested, other family members are certain to also be infested.

Gross! But too often ignored by doctors until there have been months or years of unnecessary suffering and illness.

And then of course, the recommendation is always antibiotics or basically pesticides to kill the invader (along with your gut flora and digestive system tissues).

But, there is a better way. Mother nature provides adequate protection for most parasites if your body is nourished properly.

And let's not forget that body alignment can have a huge impact on jaw health as well. Malocclusions and their relationship with neck alignment can have a dramatic impact on the health of the jaw. The bottom line is that locking jaw symptoms can be several complex problems. Dr. Jack and Mary cover several possible causes, and the non-poison options available to people suffering from this horrible problem.

This week Dr. Jack and Mary delve into heart health. It seems every week we hear about another surprising heart attack death in Hollywood or elsewhere. Our current medical systems take is laughably inadequate to deal with the scourge of heart disease we've invented in this country in the last 100 years.

With no more to recommend than "take statins, don't eat fat, and exercise" the American medical establishment has overseen the Great Sickening of our culture. They are more than happy to intervene when there is a crisis, but before you get that far, they seem to only recommend a limited set of ideas that take many of us to that point of crisis.

It's going to have to be ourselves who stop this cycle. By treating the idea that every heart is precious, and properly nourishing yourself, your heart will positively thrive!

Learn more about the nutrition and the psychology of heart health in this week's episode.

We've all been trained to think that heartburn, gas and bloating are minor nuisances, easy to medicate in various ways from anti-acids to more radical acid inhibitors. Now more than ever, research shows us how simple-minded this type of thinking is.

This week Dr. Jack and Mary discuss several critical components of digestion. Not only is our body telling us important information when you have heartburn or bloating, but it's positively irresponsible to ignore or medicate these issues away.

Both our diet choices, as well as our gut health could be seriously compromised, causing all kinds of digestion disruption symptoms, including the three we are talking about here.

The good news is that nutrition and whole food supplements can cause an amazing transformation to your gut health, curbing or even eliminating heartburn, gas and bloating.

If you have any of these symptoms, you should tune in to learn about the real science at work in your gut, and what you can do to treat heartburn, gas, & bloating naturally.

We're back! Thanks for waiting patiently...

This week Dr. Jack and Mary discuss variations of the "placebo" effect and "nocebo" effect, and why these phenomenon matter.

As holistic practitioners have known for year, the composition of your thoughts and attitudes can have a direct effect on your wellness, and how you respond to treatment when you aren't well.

This is a very big deal in this current world of fixed fates, based on the blueprint of our DNA. Many experts essentially insist that DNA is the end of the discussion when it comes to your body. The codes therein dictate what's going to happen to your health in your life. But evidence from even the earliest DNA studies know better.

It's far more complicated, and this is where our very thoughts can have direct impacts on brain and body chemistry, and even gene expression.

It may not be necessary to take the severe steps Angelina Jolie took when she discovered that her DNA contained the chance of deadly breast and ovarian cancer. But what must you do if you have troubling DNA suggesting some future disease?

This week we continue the story of Dr. Beard, and the modern incarnation of his work to correlate enzymes with tumor growth.

It's fair to say the Enzyme Theory of Cancer has had a rebirth in the work of Drs. Gonzales and Isaacs in recent years, with marvelous results seen in many countries where it's easier to administer alternative treatments.

Are we seeing the culmination of years of self-healing theory when it comes to cancer itself? And what do pharmaceutical companies have to say about this type of research?

Tune in this week to learn about the exciting science of cancer.

This week Dr. Jack and Mary look back to the history of cancer theory, and particularly a theory posited by Dr. John Beard at the turn of the 20th century more than 100 years ago.

The Enzyme Theory of Cancer would prove such an interesting and effective method, that it was immediately misunderstood and misapplied; consequently being outlawed.

Flash-forward the present, and experts are starting to come around to the role enzymes can play in nourishing the battle against malignant growth in the human body.

The problem, as usual, is where to get the proper enzymes in the foods we consume; something much more difficult to achieve with our modern diet and new-fangled definition of the word "food".

But the science is sound, and it's time to start taking the role of enzymes throughout the body much more seriously.

Forget everything you knew about cholesterol...AGAIN. Ever deepening research into the functions of our blood are showing again and again that not only have decades of recommendations from the FDA been inaccurate at best, but could have been downright detrimental to millions of doctor-abiding patients, trying to do what is right and what the medical establishment is telling them.

This week Dr. Jack and Mary dig into the myriad benefits of cholesterol (you read that right!) and why the over simplification of "good cholesterol" vs. "bad cholesterol" could be killing you.

You're not going to want to miss this one...

This week Dr. Jack and Mary have scoured the best "Ask Dr. Jack and Mary" questions to dig in and elaborate on some of the responses they provided directly to the listeners.

Hear about the impacts of supplements on nursing mothers, how to eat healthy in a finicky family, acid reflux redux, dealing with urinary tract infections in a child without antibiotics, and how we can all start eating gluten again!

We love questions from our listeners! It's the reason we do what we do!

Tune in for some great questions.
