Pharmacist Ben Fuchs shared natural health remedies and the vitamins, nutrients, and minerals that our bodies need to maintain good health. Regarding the condition of fibromyalgia, which involves painful muscle aches, he suggested it was due to the accumulation of toxicity in the body and a connection with the hormone estrogen. He recommended supplements that help detoxify the liver, including selenium and EFAs (essential fatty acids). For combating depression, he said one of the best things you can do is exercise or move the body, which stimulates the lymphatic and circulatory systems, and increases neurotransmitters in the brain like dopamine.

To those dealing with stress issues, which may indicate that the adrenal glands are overworked, he suggested vitamin B5. Whey protein is an excellent source of nutritional value, said Fuchs, and is especially appropriate for athletes, the elderly, and those recovering from surgery. Bromelain enzymes, he noted, "have a wonderful immune-boosting, anti-COVID, blood-thinning effect," in addition to aiding one's digestion. He also talked about how fasting can have a healthy restorative quality, allowing the body to clean out toxins and produce ketogenic energy.
