Memorable Quotes

"We used to have a fantastic defense system against the various environmental troublemakers that we encounter, and that includes plants that we eat and that includes fungi and molds, and we had a really robust system that could not only handle what was thrown at us but, maybe just as importantly, would educate the immune system."

"We can heal your leaky gut, I can give you supplements that will do it, but if you keep swallowing razor blades every day, then you're just going to slice it right back open."

"The other thing we've seen with some of our really mischievous autoimmune patients who have four or five active autoimmune diseases. A lot of those folks react to all forms of dairy and a lot of those folks react to all forms of milk, of eggs sorry, both yolks and whites. Now, the good news is, once we seal everything up, we can reintroduce a great number of these foods. Sometimes not all of them, but most of the time we can reintroduce these things, which is exciting. That's the carrot on the stick. I hold off, I hold out for people. There's hope."
