Dr. Joel Wallach addressed the human body's ability to achieve natural healing, along with the benefits of remedies and supplements that aid in the body's recovery from chronic conditions. He recently investigated the cause of what killed actor Bruce Lee some 50 years ago (a recent news report suggested it was from drinking too much water). According to Wallach, who studied Lee's diet, he likely damaged his intestines from eating too much gluten in his diet, and this took a toll on his immune system and blood marrow.

He also shared his conclusion that many people suffer from osteoporosis of the skull but it is typically not properly diagnosed by doctors. This is further explored in his book, It's All in Your Head. To a caller diagnosed with too much calcium in her blood, he suggested this was an indicator that she was actually calcium deficient and her parathyroid glands were pulling a lot of calcium out of the bones. Doctors misinterpret this as the patient consuming too much calcium in their diet, or over-supplementing with it, he continued. For more, check out his free weekly Ask Doc Live show on Zoom.
