Pharmacist Ben Fuchs discussed natural health remedies and the vitamins, nutrients, and minerals our bodies need to maintain good health. He was critical of the strategy of using statin drugs to stop the body from making cholesterol, which he considers a vital element that is important for the immune system, stress management, and brain & neural health. He suggested that people talk to their doctor about weening off statins, and take the natural supplement niacin instead. The supplement GABA can help improve mood and create a feeling of relaxation, he continued, adding that a ketogenic diet induces a natural form of GABA in the body.

Regarding blemishes or breakouts on the face, Fuchs noted there are several different skin issues, not all of which are acne-related. Acne typically occurs along the middle of the face or the T-zone, and he recommended zinc and Vitamin A to treat it. But if breakouts are on the side of the face, this is actually due to food intolerance or allergies, he suggested. Figure out what foods might be causing the issue, and try eliminating them, he added. For a caller who had been exposed to asbestos in his lungs during a remodeling project, Fuchs advised taking antioxidants like Vitamins E & C, N-Acetyl Cysteine, and selenium, as well as practicing deep breathing exercises.
