Hour 2
Dr. Joel Wallach addressed alternative health approaches and the benefits of remedies and supplements that aid in the body's recovery from many diseases and ailments. Wallach said he ate turkey for Thanksgiving "with at least 90 supplements." He also mentioned that he ate the liver from the turkey because "it contains so much nutrition." He recounted a bet he made with an opthalmologist that he could cure 27 elderly patients of macular degeneration and who were declared legally blind. Wallach claimed he won the bet when all of the subjects recovered with 20/20 vision by using his supplements and using his philosophy that if you "give the body the raw materials and it con maintain and repair itself."
Wallach said that medical mistakes in hospitals and elsewhere "kill 251,000 patients every year" and that a healthy diet is good insurance against ever having to go into medical care. The main causes of bad health as Wallach sees it are fried foods and processed meats as well as oils such as those derived from olives, sesame, and peanuts. Wallach also repeated his mantra that foods such as rice, fish, sweet potatoes and red meat are the main keys to sustaining a healthy life. He also reiterated his belief that disabling diseases are not caused by viruses or bacteria, but a lack of proper nutrition. In the last hour, Wallach dispensed health advice to callers.
