Dr. Joel Wallach discussed the human body and its ability to achieve healing through natural remedies that aid in the body's recovery from chronic conditions. He announced he is finishing up a new book that deals with metabolic syndrome (related conditions said to increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes). According to Wallach, rather than a genetic problem, he attributes the syndrome to nutritional deficiencies and not avoiding the "bad stuff," which he listed as fried foods, processed meat, oils, gluten soy, wheat, barley, rye, oats, buckwheat, sugar, and carbonated drinks. Carbonation, he explained, interferes with the creation of stomach acid, which is needed to properly absorb minerals and digest food.

He recalled his efforts in helping eliminate Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, which he said was due to a deficiency of the mineral selenium in infants' diets (the supplement is now added to baby formulas). He also attributed a number of ailments, including tinnitus and atrial fibrillation, to osteoporosis of the skull and noted that each of the 12 pairs of cranial nerves may be associated with different symptoms. To fend off bugs and infections, he recommended using colloidal silver drops placed under the tongue ten minutes before meals.
