Dr. Joel Wallach shared alternative health approaches and the benefits of remedies and supplements that assist in the body's recovery from many diseases and ailments. George reported on a new study that showed using olive oil instead of butter or other saturated fats may offer protection from heart disease and other conditions. Doc Wallach noted that the essential fatty acids (EFAs) found in olive oil do help to prevent blood clots, but he recommended getting EFAs through supplements as he believes that many oils aren't fresh, and as a result, become oxidized and turn into unhealthy trans fats.

George shared his regimen of supplements in the pandemic era, which includes Vitamin C, D3, zinc, quinine water, and turmeric. Wallach offered commentary on them-- D3 is good because it helps your body absorb nutrients and for the bone marrow to operate more efficiently. Zinc, Vitamin C, and turmeric all support the immune system, he added. For a caller dealing with a hernia, he advised avoiding gluten in the diet (related recipe book), and taking the supplements selenium, MSM, and collagen peptides, which help rebuild artery walls, muscle, tendons, and ligaments. This Friday, he offers his free Zoom "Ask Doc Live" weekly event, starting at 8am PT/11am ET.
