Pharmacist Ben Fuchs shared insights on health, nutrition, and the importance of intestinal health. He commented that "when we help other people, we help ourselves," highlighting the interconnectedness of personal well-being and community support. Fuchs revealed an astonishing statistic: "54% of American children suffer from a chronic illness." He criticized the modern medical model, arguing that it focuses too narrowly on individual symptoms rather than understanding the body as a connected system. "The medical model is a failure," he asserted, advocating for a lifestyle-centered approach to health that prioritizes diet, exercise, and mental well-being.

Addressing specific health concerns, he stressed the importance of gut health in combating conditions like Lyme disease and Long COVID. "Focus on intestinal health," he advised, explaining that a compromised gut leads to "toxicity and nutritional deficiencies." He recommended digestive enzymes as a means to purify the blood and improve overall health.

Fuchs also discussed the significant health benefits of vitamin C, including its role in maintaining healthy connective tissue and treating serious ailments. "75 grams of vitamin C, injected intravenously three times a week, can improve longevity in patients with pancreatic cancer," he claimed. Critical of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), he called it the "ridiculous deprivation allowance," arguing that humans should consume much higher amounts of vitamin C, similar to the way animals like goats produce it under stress.
