When it comes to nutrition, we truly don’t know what we don’t know. This becomes acute on the question of veganism and vegetarianism diets. While we respect the many ethical and health reasons people attempt to avoid eating animals, it is very hard to be truly healthy on a plant-based diet. From the basic lack of nourishment without meat, to the growing controversy of pesticide-laden vegetables, there is a lot to know.

Tune in to hear about a conversation Mary had with a major health influencer on Instagram regarding the dangers that are involved with staying too long on the Gerson diet. The second half of the podcast discusses new research from UCLA regarding the relationship between pesticide exposure in a pregnant woman and the dramatic increased risk of autism in a child. This is a new discovery and new research from UCLA.

Difficulty of pronunciation notwithstanding, if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis, you already know how miserable this condition can be. Turns out this malady affects millions of (mostly) women in the US, but hardly anyone talks about it.

What does informed consent even mean? This week Dr. Jack and Mary take a serious look at the misinformation at the heart of the vaccination debate in the US. There are so many economic interests at play, that our message has always been to remain skeptical. Skeptical of the pro-vaccination crowd, and even skeptical of some skeptics!

Which leads us to informed consent. All we really strive for at Forbidden Doctor is to educate and inform. So that when you are faced with decisions related to yours or your family’s health, informed consent can mean what it’s supposed to mean.

Tune in for an aggravating tour of the current landscape of vaccine half-truths and why it matters.
