Pharmacist and nutritionist Benjamin Fuchs addressed such topics as prescription deaths, contradictory health recommendations, the problem with the western medical model, and what's behind chronic diseases. He reacted to the news that prescription drugs are killing more people than illegal drugs-- drugs, by their very definition are not healing people, and have toxic elements that can take their toll on users, he remarked. After completing his training, Fuchs moved away from mainstream pharmacy, and works on compounding custom medication, and formulating nutritional and skin care products.

The two causes of all chronic diseases are blood sugar and the digestive system, he suggested, noting that problems with digestion begin at an early age, particularly for children who aren't breast fed. Inflammation, which occurs at the cellular level, is the body's protective response, but it signals that something is imbalanced, he explained. For clearing up digestive problems, he recommended starting with a one-day fast, and improving healthy bacteria in the stomach by taking good quality probiotics and eating fermented foods.
