In today's episode, Dr. Todd challenges the widely accepted germ theory of sickness and emphasizes the importance of the body's internal environment in determining susceptibility to illness. He discusses the role of lifestyle choices, such as diet and stress levels, in creating an environment that either supports the growth of pathogens or strengthens the immune system. Dr. Todd questions the overreliance on vaccinations and suggests addressing underlying health conditions instead. He also discusses the relationship between infections and blood flow, highlighting the impact of decreased blood flow on bacterial growth. The speaker encourages listeners to take control of their environment and prioritize their overall well-being.
