Pharmacist Ben Fuchs shared natural health remedies and the vitamins, nutrients, and minerals that our bodies need to maintain good health. Fuchs discussed his opposition to drugs like statins, which inhibit the body's ability to produce cholesterol. The solution to high cholesterol, he argued, isn't to stop our natural process of producing it, but to adjust our habits and lifestyle so that we're not tricking our body.
Increasing exercise and avoiding sugar consumption, for example, are ways to combat high cholesterol that doesn't involve drugs, which, Fuchs claimed, are inherently poisonous to our system.
In response to a listener in California who asked how he could return to his former good health and physical fitness, Fuchs recommended focusing on digestive health and again suggested cutting out sugar and carbohydrates. A Hawaii caller wondered what could be done about skin cancer; Fuchs explained that cancer is indicative of cells that are in a distressed state. The key to treating this condition, he said, is to load up on antioxidants. To a listener in Illinois who described her frequent insulin, Fuchs recommended eating a small amount of protein before bedtime, as well as taking melatonin in moderation.
