Registered pharmacist, nutritionist and cosmetic chemist, Ben Fuchs shared alternative health concepts, and offered tips on supplements and healthy changes to one's diet and lifestyle. Responding to a question about the value of drinking alkalized water to make the body more alkaline, he suggested an easier approach-- SDR breathing-- slow, deep, rhythmic breathing. Oxygen is alkaline, while carbon dioxide (which you are blowing out) is acidic, he explained, and not only will this breathing practice make the blood more alkaline, but it also has a calming effect. Unfortunately, "we have medicalized health. We have made it so we that we have to go to authorities outside of us, in order to not only understand our body but to help our body get better. It's not true," he said, with things like breathing, nutrition, and muscle relaxation, we can take back our health.

Another way to combat various health challenges including diabetes is to stabilize your blood sugar with nutrition and food (such as going ketogenic or eating more protein and fewer carbohydrates), he outlined. Helpful supplements for this include the minerals chromium, magnesium, and selenium, as well as niacin (Vitamin B3). Fuchs also praised NAC, which is considered both a drug and a nutrient-- it has excellent detoxification qualities, and is good for lung and respiratory health. To get the most benefit from consuming garlic, he recommended exposing it to air after it's been cut up, as this helps activate some of its medicinal qualities.
