Dr. Joel Wallach addressed the human body's ability to achieve healing through natural remedies that aid in the recovery from chronic conditions that plague Americans today. Referencing biblical figures like Adam, Noah, and Methuselah, who were said to have lived for hundreds of years, he connected their longevity to the notion that they inhabited the "land and milk honey." Wallach suggested that this milk was "glacial milk"-- ground-up rocks at the top of glaciers that released white silt, heavy in minerals that flowed into streams, which the biblical-era figures drank, and this greatly increased their lifespans.

Wallach announced the publication of his new book on metabolic syndrome (related conditions said to increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes). About 1/3 of American adults have the syndrome, he reported, but rather than a genetic problem, he attributes it 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. In response to a caller's inquiry about Bell's palsy, Wallach said he believes the condition is due to the cramping of a cranial nerve from osteoporosis and can be reversed with the proper nutrients that rebuild the myelin in the brain and spinal cord.
