Pharmacist Ben Fuchs discussed the many ways we can use natural remedies to help with ailments and health issues as an adjunct to modern medicine. On the topic of flu season, he noted that illnesses such as influenza are often exacerbated by "comorbidities" such as digestive, cardiovascular, and metabolic issues that suppress the immune system. He criticized conventional medicine's focus on treating symptoms rather than addressing root causes. On over-the-counter medications, Fuchs warned of potential side effects and toxicity, particularly from NSAIDs like ibuprofen, which can cause gastric bleeding and kidney damage.

He contrasted drugs with nutrition, explaining, "What nutrients do... is they give the body permission to do what it needs to do," whereas drugs "order the body" and carry risks. Fuchs stressed that many chronic degenerative diseases can be addressed through behavior changes and nutrition rather than relying solely on pharmaceuticals, which often cause side effects and nutrient depletion. On the topic of prediabetes, he said it was important to address lifestyle and diet issues first, before turning to quick pharmaceutical fixes like Metformin.

The conversation touched on the fentanyl crisis, with Fuchs highlighting its lethality: "Fentanyl is 50 times stronger than heroin." He linked widespread opioid abuse to societal "existential pain," commenting that "we've created a culture that feeds and profits on misery and suffering." When a caller asked about controversial substances like chlorine dioxide and DMSO, Fuchs reported that both compounds have specific uses, with chlorine dioxide as a disinfectant, and DMSO showing promise for pain relief and skin conditions due to its solvent properties.
