  • Amazing

    I have cfs, and the (currently) most recent episode about cfs and ebv was profound. They dispelled so many myths I didn’t even know. And they referenced multiple studies, one saying that people with cfs didn’t have different levels of viruses or bacteria than the general population

  • The podcast the world needs

    I’ve been following Howard Schubiner for years. Once you experience the life-changing results of these ideas, you’ll see how the field of medicine is still in the dark ages. And you’ll see people every day suffering from some sort of chronic condition that can be helped by understanding the underlying causes. The societal cost of chronic pain is more than the cost of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes combined! More people need to hear this podcast.
