Pharmacist Ben Fuchs shared natural health remedies and suggestions, along with vitamins and supplements that can aid our bodies in maintaining good health. He talked about the importance of Vitamin D, which could be considered more of a hormone than a vitamin. Its main role is to help the body work with calcium, which activates cells, he said. Vitamin D is good for the skin, the heart, and the immune and digestive system, yet deficiencies in it are common. "The best way to get Vitamin D by far is to make sure you're getting out in the sun" with maximum exposure, he added, but for only about 15 minutes, so that you don't burn (sunscreen will block absorption of the vitamin).

In response to a caller asking about muscular dystrophy (MS) symptoms, he suggested the supplement selenium, and anti-inflammatories like MSM and Vitamin E. Focusing on gut health can also be beneficial for this and other conditions, he noted, such as by eating fermented foods and fiber. "Anything that helps with arthritis...will also help you with intestinal health," especially for those with leaky gut syndrome," he added, singling out the supplement glucosamine in particular.
