Dr. Prather recommends that everyone have three very affordable lab tests every year that will reveal the state of your health. In this episode, you'll discover:
—How anything that could go wrong with you shows up in The Prather Profile, an inexpensive, nationally-recognized blood profile that covers all the major systems in your body.
—That the reference ranges listed on a lab tests are NOT the same as the optimal values for your health. And why Dr. Prather has to re-teach doctors and nurses how to look for that optimal range.
—How Dr. Prather has over 600 hours of reading blood tests in his training compared to the average Medical Doctor who only has 15 hours of reading blood tests in Medical school.
—Why Dr. Prather says you can get more information from a blood test than any other type of diagnostic. And why Dr. Prather says it's "very seldom" someone comes in with ideal blood tests.
—How Dr. Prather interprets bloodwork differently in the Structure-Function Health Care model he practices than how doctors in the Disease Care model look at the labs.
—Why Hair Analysis is important to reveal the mineral and heavy metal levels in your body. Plus, how Dr. Prather has seen patients diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease have had all of their symptoms go away when the Hair Analysis revealed the true cause of their symptoms was Manganese toxicity.
—The importance of the G.I. Effects Stool kit in revealing your gut flora.
—Why Dr. Prather says the research that has been discovered on the gut by the National Institutes of Health "will change health care in America" since almost all autoimmune diseases, as well as cardiovascular disease and cancer, are affected by the gut.
—The reason why 80% of our immune system is in the gut. And how ALL pharmaceuticals destroy your normal gut flora.
—Plus, you'll hear the story of Mike, a patient who completed the ECP Therapy program at Holistic Integration. And how Caleb went to "dozens" of doctors before finding relief from migraine headaches as a patient at Holistic Integration.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Hi, I'm Lisa Praither and welcome to the Voice of
Health with our host, doctor Robert Praither of Holistic Integration,
where lives are changed every day through the natural approach
to healthcare. Today we're talking about annual lab test for everyone.
And doctor Preather, what do you mean when you say
annual lab tests for everyone?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
You know, there's certain diagnostic tests that different people should
be taking. You know, when you reach a certain age,
you should be getting EKGs, you should be getting certain
types of cancer tests, calling tests, all those types of things.
But what does everyone need at least on an annual basis?
And I'm talking about from a baby to one hundred
(00:56):
and five?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
You know what about one hundred and six?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Well, one hundred and six would be fine too. Of
course after one hundred and five, I don't think you
need annual. But you know, it's what is it that
everyone needs, what is actually expected and what is the
best thing for you on an annual basis. So we
have three tests that we talk about. You know, our
blood test with your analysis is something whenever you come
(01:21):
in for your annual exam that you should have a nice,
thorough one that's recommended by every single healthcare provider, insurance, hospitals,
all the doctor groups all recommend that. But I'd also
throw in there a care analysis, and I would also
throw in a GI stoolkit, you know, as things that
(01:43):
everyone should be having on an annual basis just to
get the basics of how your health is going and
give a synopsis of what's happening and what should be done.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
So those three tests that you recommend, the blood work,
and we're going to go through each of these. Sure,
but the thorough blood work, hair analysis, taking for trace minerals,
and the GI stool kit stood correct, wonderful. Well, let's
go into details about that and why they're highly recommended.
(02:17):
And I know you used the best labs in the
country for each of these. You've been in practice for
thirty years really looking at the best labs for these.
What I like too is they're inexpensive. They're inexpensive to
the patient and yet can tell them so much about
their health these three tests. Sure, So let's start with
(02:38):
the blood test. It's called the praise or profile, right,
And how did they get that name?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
The labs named it that.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
The labs.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, they were coming in and I was setting up
my labs when I first started out, and I gave
them a list of what I was wanting to do,
and they were looking at it and said, wow, this
is a really good a lab test, you know, nice
and thorough, a good profile. And you know, they said, well,
(03:06):
could we offer that to other doctors? And I said, oh,
certainly that wouldn't be a problem for me. I would
really appreciate it. So we get back the you know,
the orders for the lab test, and they had named
it the preyth Or profile. And anyway, since it's been
named and it's nationally offered, it's offered by every single
(03:28):
major lab corporation in the United States. A matter of fact,
I was talking to a doctor out in California. I
was talking to him about a patient over the phone
and he says, there and he says, now, are you
the Preythrower of the Preathrough profile, And I said, yeah,
that's that's me. He said, oh, I love that test.
And the reason that it's so nice is because it
(03:50):
doesn't overdo it. You know, where you're doing way too
many tests, but you basically can tell if there's anything
wrong with someone. In other words, if you have something wrong,
it will show up in the preak their profile. Now
I will need to probably do further testing lab tests
to find out and dig a little deeper, but it
(04:11):
gives an indication. Yeah, it's a little snippet in there
of all the different types of areas, so you can
come in and it would be what you would call
an executive profile. I have so many patients who come
in and you know, I said, well, you know, we
need to do some blood work, and they go, oh,
I've had to really thorough blood tests. You know. My
(04:32):
doctor always does throw and I get them and I'm like,
h no, you know, this isn't really covering every possibility
of what could be going on. So I need to
do further blood tests just to kind of cover everything.
And oftentimes it was something that was missed. You know.
It's there's a feeling in there of not ordering too
(04:52):
many lab tests, but it really winds up saving the
insurance company if you can figure out what's going on. So,
you know, I've had people who came in and I
went to the hospital and they had twenty thousand dollars
worth of tests that they did on me, and I
look at their blood test and it was just a
comprehensive metabodic panel and I'm like, okay, you know that's
(05:16):
that's not thorough. Let's do the blood test, which is
pretty cheap first, huh, you know, less expensive. And when
I do the full panel on that, I go, ah,
here it is, you know, here's your problem. And they go,
you know, you mean that was it. That was all
they needed to do. And I didn't have to pay
(05:36):
all that money because you know, they still had their
their deductible and everything. I said, yeah, sorry, but you know,
you start out with a good thorough blood test because
that's the most thorough, comprehensive, least invasive way of really
finding out what's going on.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
So yeah, can you imagine the money healthcare systems safe?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Talk about your education that you had. You have a
diplomat Internal diagnostics. Explain that too, and how that differs
your education than most actors.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Well, we even look at the blood test differently. I
get in medical doctors and nurse practitioners, and I need
to retrain them. It's easier to take people who are
lay people and train them on my blood work because
I don't have to unlearn them. So it definitely takes
me longer to teach an MD and a nurse practitioner
(06:33):
how to read the blood work than a lay person
because they've been already told on looking at it from
a disease care standpoint. So you know, when I get
a nurse practitioner, she comes to me with this blood
work and says, you know, this is what the patient has,
but I don't see anything really wrong with the blood test,
and I point out to them where the deficiencies are
(06:56):
and then they go, oh, okay, because what they they
look at is the reference ranges, and the reference ranges
has nothing to do with what is is the optimal
blood test. So there are there are optimal blood panels
(07:17):
that should be done. TSA should be two point five,
thyroxin should be eight eight point five. You know, all
those different types of lab values should be at very
particular points for optimal reading. And that's what we look at.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
And the reference ranges aren't the optimal.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
No, the reference ranges are what fifty percent of the
population has.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Well, I want to be better than the fifty.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
A lot of the fifty are sick, So you know,
the optimal ranges may not be in the even in
the reference range.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Why did they do reference range to help the doctor.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Well, the reference range is just a a ballpark of
where things should be. The federal government, you know, had
told them that they can't put down optimal ranges. I'm
not quite sure why, but they don't want the labs
to determine what that is. The doctor should but the
(08:18):
doctors aren't really trained and optimal that's not part of
their training. When you go through medical school, you get
fifteen hours of reading blood test. I have over six
hundred hours of reading blood test, you know, to understand
how that all goes together. So it's a different type
(08:38):
of a pattern along those lines, a different way of
thinking about it. And you know, there are many times
where I get a patient in and their doctor has
already read their blood tests. They bring in their old
blood tests, and you know, there's nothing wrong with you.
At What they mean is that there's no pharmaceutical or
surgery that we need to do. That's what that means.
(09:01):
In other words, there's nothing that I can really do
for you according to this. Whereas I look at that,
and if they have low adrenals, that's not something that
the medical profession will treat. But we do because we're
dealing with structure function. We're looking at balance. We have
things we don't use poisons and toxins which are pharmaceutically based.
(09:24):
What we do is we use natural products to enhance
and balance out the system and bring the body into
optimal performance, which is a huge difference from how they
treat medically disease care.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
It makes complete sense when we come back more on
an annual web test for everyone. Does your group or
organization need a speaker for an event, The Voice of
Health Radio can come do a live show and take

(10:02):
Robert Praether The Voice of Health Wellness tip featuring rapid
release technology. Well, let's talk about fascia restrictions. Fashion is
kind of like a shrink wrap that surrounds every muscle
in our body, and it can become dried out and
lose elasticity, leading to more tension and stiffness.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
One of the interesting things that they've been doing research,
and this has just come out within the last two years,
is that the fascia is one single organ. It's as
much of an organ as your liver, heart or kidneys.
So all the fascia in your body is completely connected
with each other and intercommunicates with each other. It's the
main thing that determines your posture. Matter of fact, it
has a very big effect on the nervous system. So
(10:46):
as you can get the fashia back into alignment, it
can actually change how the nervous system works. And much
of the muscle is controlled by the fashion materru and
if you look at the low back, it just covers
the entire low back. Sometimes your low back problems is
connected to the fashion material. Fascia is really where rapid
release comes through. One of my good friends, Warren Hammer,
(11:08):
that's his main thing is fascial. Actually I introduced him
to the rapid release. He came to my office. I
was working on him doing some adjustments, and then I
took the rapid release and went over and he goes,
what is that. As soon as he saw the rapid release,
it's just revolutionized his treatment. Yeah, and that's the main
thing he teaches now is how to release fascion with
(11:29):
rapid release.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
A lot of people are tight in their glutes. The
pure formist syndrome, will get them in a prolonged stretch
and run the rapid release over that just for a
few minutes. Big changes.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Oh yeah, it again revolutionizes fascial.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
When you're looking at structure, function care, what it does
is it gets to the root cause of the problem.
People come in, they say, I've been to six different
places and I said, well, you know, let's look at this.
Those symptoms are really interesting. Let's get to the cause
of it.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
And they go, oh, finally, finally someone wants to get
to the cause of it.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
They've been saying, well, you know, doc, I'm supposed to
take this steroid cream, but what caused it in the
first place doesn't matter. Well, I think it does. The
patients are smart enough to say, wow, that doesn't sound
right to me. You might have had to pairrot that
in medical school. That doesn't fly with me. And so
getting to the cause of it and balancing out the
body and you can have the exact same symptom and
(12:59):
have com completely different causes. Just that symptom doesn't necessarily
mean it's a oneset cause.

A blods.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Yes, Sabdu, you're listening to the Voice of Health with
doctor Robert Praither of Holistic Integration, the most comprehensive wellness
center in the Midwest. Today, we're talking about annual lab
test for everyone and DOT your preyther We're talking about
(13:44):
three tests that you recommend it for everyone and they're
very affordable. First one we're talking about is a prey
their profile. That's our extensive blood work. So let's talk
about what can be measured with the prey their profile
all these blood tests.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Well, it's nice because the prey through profile covers everything.
You've got the ENDERCN system, you've got liver function, kidney function,
mineral balance, the immune system. So everything that could go
wrong with you shows up in our blood test. So
having that done, I have a lot of people who
come in and say, you know, I just want the
you know, the prey through profile, just to see what's happening,
(14:23):
just for diagnostic, keep up on everything, not really looking
for any care, but just to make sure that they're
doing well. I even have mds coming in and having
that done, you know, and then help me review it
with them, just because it's a different way of approaching it,
and it really, you know, if you're really looking to
find out what is my optimal health, where am I
really in my health overall picture, that's just a great way.
(14:48):
In other words, just like I was talking to one
patient and she thought that she had had different types
of things going on. She had people who read her eyes, ierdology,
she had people muscle tester, she had a lot of
different ways that people were looking at it, you know,
to find out what was going on. And she had
several different ideas of what they were saying. And I said, well,
let's not guess let's find.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Out, let's take your lifeblood.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Let's do the blood work. Here analysison's toolkit. And you know,
it was just such a relief to her because then
she knew what was going on. We don't guess. We know,
so when I tell the patient that they have something
going on, we know what the problem is. And it's
very reassuring to know what the issue is. And then
we can remasure it to find out how the progress
(15:37):
is going.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And I like how very individualized. And we review the
blood work with them extensively. We give them a copy
as we're reviewing it with them, have.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Things marked down so that the patient knows, and then
the patient starts to really get into it. And I've
had patients who you know, moved away and they called
up and you know, they tell their doctor that they
want to get blood tests, and then they call me
and say, well, guess what my sodium level is at
this time? You know. So they're trained, so they're looking
(16:10):
at which is very reassuring to know that you can
even look at your lab tests. So they all want
their lab tests when they've moved away because they're reading it.
You know, they're in the medical I think I'm annoying
a lot of doctors from that, but they but they're
reading their blood work as they're going along, which is
very reassuring. You know that, you know you have a
(16:30):
patient who has more control ownership in their care, becomes
a healthier person, a better in my opinion, a better patient,
and other doctor's opinions, it may not be a better
patient because you know, they know when things are often
when things are right, as we train them, what are
the proper values right?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
And you talked about the optimal optimal values what they're
going for, So why is the praise or profile so important.
One of these three lab tests that you say everyone
should have on an annual basis.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
It's your You know, when you've got your life blood,
you can tell more from a blood test than anything
else in the entire world. You can get more information
from that from any other diagnostic test. And you know
they're relatively cheap, you know to get that. But you
know when they talk about your life blood, that is
very true. Your life is in your blood, and the
best way to find out how your life is going,
(17:21):
how your health is going, is through your blood. It's
just a fantastic means. And you know when I found
out all that you can find out. You know, I
wouldn't practice if I couldn't take blood tests, you.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Know, and you don't personally take them blood, well, yeah,
I'm glad you don't.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Well I think, yeah, I'm yeah, that's not well, I
mean I don't I don't mind it, but that's not
something that I really have time.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
But you are a little squeamish to the whole.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Well, when I have my blood take, I don't mind
other people's blood taken. I can watch that all day.
I'm not really fond of so, you know, for those
that are like, oh, I think when I have my
blood taken, we lay you down.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah, we haven't.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
We're really good at that. Yeah, we have excellent blood drawers.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Yes we do.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah, I'm really and we do draw the blood right
there in our office. And we have excellent people who
draw blood. You hardly even feel it.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
The children they get their blood drawn at our office,
you know, love the phlebottomus.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, they're very very good, and we mentioned
on it. But for those of you who are squeamish
on getting their blood drawn, I'm one of them. I
turn kind of white and maybe a little green and
they lay me down to draw my blood. But I
get it done regularly so I can make sure that
I'm keeping up on my health. Doctor has to stay
(18:44):
healthy too, But I always I don't like to call
it squeamish. It's the warriors response. They actually have named
it that, okay, because what happens when you start losing
blood your blood pressure drops, because then you don't bleed out.
So there's about fifteen percent of the males especially have that.
(19:07):
And actually they called it the warriors response because they
were being cut in battle and I would start to
bleed out and their blood pressure would drop, and so
that they could keep on fighting and not lose as
much blood. So there's a definite change. When I have
my blood drawn, my blood pressure drops. Did you warriors response?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yes, I flat to get your blood drun doesn't sound much.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I like to think of it as a warrior's response.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
You think whatever you want, all right. What's the difference
between reading blood work functionally as opposed to disease care.
You touched on this a little bit, but what is
the difference. There's a big difference.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Disease care is that you're looking for major catastrophic type
of changes. That have taken place in the lab test.
So even like taking cholesterol, Now, when I look at
when cholesterol goes high, first thing I'm looking for is
why you know, there's a congested toxic liver, there's a
(20:14):
lowered ENDERCN system, there's a lowered vitamin D levels. When
a medical doctor looks at cholesterol that's gone high, oh
it's time for somelipatory. So I'm looking for causes and
they're looking for taking care of the symptoms. You know,
what is it that we do to get this response?
(20:36):
So when se reactive protein is real high, well what
am I going to do to lower it? Anti inflammatory?
What I do is I look at it and say, well,
why has that occurred? So the thought process is completely different.
And again, you know, one of the things that I'm
doing on that is retaining my nurse practitioners and my
(20:57):
medical doctors. Because I said there, I said, no, no, no,
you're thinking disease care. We're not here for disease care.
We're here for structure function care. First. Now we need
to make sure that major types of things are taken
care of pharmaceutically, which we usually refer out for. But
(21:19):
in our office, what we're doing is we're dealing with
balancing the body, bringing it back into homeostasis. Structure function
care is all about balance. How do you balance out
the body and bring it back into balance and balance
is called homeostasis. The definition of health is homeostasis in
the body. And so it's a different mindset, it's a
(21:41):
different way of looking at the process. It's a different
way of looking at the body and the patient, and
it's hard to switch back and forth between the two.
So it is definitely a training process along those lines.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
And then how often do people have optimal blood work?
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Very seldom. No one comes in with really decent blood tests.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
The omen to have you check it, it's you.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Know, it's usually off. The only people who have blood
tests that are working well, you know, that are in
optimal ranges are people who've been seeing us for a while.
Those are the people, and we get people in with
perfect blood tests and that's the ideal that we're going for.
But people do not start out with optimal blood tests.
(22:22):
That's just really rare to see somebody coming in. So
really everybody is needing to get their home ustaces back
into under control.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Okay, well, that's one of the three lab tests that
you recommend for everyone. So let's go on to the
second one, hair analysis. Why is hair analysis important.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Well, you know you've got the blood, but then we
also want to look at the tissue. So the main
thing that we're looking at with the tissue is the
minerals and heavy metals to see what's going on with that.
And the best place to look at that is in
the easy way to cut off something as your hair
(23:05):
or your nails. Not too many people want their piece
of their flesh taken off and then nanily that would
not be popular.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
No, let's take some flesh.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yes, So the tissue that either the nail or the
hairs on your head or anywhere on your body is
then taken broken down, and then we can take a
look and see what's going on with the mineral content
and the tissue. And it can be different than in
the blood, and so there's a tremendous amount that can
be garnered from that. You know, the calcium magnesium levels
(23:41):
can really indicate what's going on with osteoporosis in the
body and even be a predictor and also tell us
if we are starting to change that around. So anyone
who's concerned about osteoporosis should have a hair analysis. That's
one of the most important things that can be done. Also,
the copper's inc ratio is very for the hormone balance.
(24:03):
It also shows up quite a bit with the immune
system manganese. Either having too low manganese can affect the
pituitary and pineal gland also cause problems with the pancras insulin.
Diabetes is very much involved with that. If you get
too high of manganese, it can imitate Parkinson's. I've had
(24:24):
people who came in who were diagnosed with Parkinson's and
really they had manganese toxicity. I'll lower their manganese back
down to normal and all their symptoms went away. You
can have too high of copper and that can cause
emotional and mental issues. You can have too high of mercury,
which can cause a whole host of problems. You can
(24:44):
have too high of arsenic which causes neurological issues. So
there are just a lot of different types of things
that you need to get from air tissue that you
can't get from blood tests and other different types of tests.
So the hair analysis of one of the things. So
I talked about this absolutely essential for having a good
understanding of what's your health and what's going on and
(25:07):
how to balance you out in homeostasis.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
And that's why we're talking about these three tests and
why they're so important to encompass the whole health right.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
You can't get stuff from you know, you have to
have all three of them.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Okay, when come back. More on annual lab tests for everyone.

Speaker 4 (25:47):
I feel good though, man. I had been sick for
a while. I came down with something. I was sick
for like two weeks. I had to go to urgent care.
So the nurse comes in or face to face, she's
asking me questions. She goes, what are you in for?
I said, my no US clog. She said, you've been
taking anything? I said, just sudo fed and she goes, oh,
can you spell that for me? I was like, sudofed,
(26:11):
I maybe could I would like you to take a
stab at it, though rh feels like something.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
You should know. I know y'all share a.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Lease with a T mobile store, but this feels like
day one stuff. Honestly, look, I've been taking ibu profit
as well, so maybe I sounded that one out. You
can you can write that down fanatically.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Bring yourself back to heart health with Holistic Heart Treatment
from Holistic Integration. Holistic Heart was created with the goal
of offering all inclusive, medically sounds, safe, natural, and non
invasive cardiac care to our patients. Surgery and prescription medications
are not the only treatments of bailable for cardiac patients,
but they are unfortunately the only options presented by many
(27:05):
other healthcare providers. These invasive procedures and prescription medications can
also lead to more pain and greater risk of serious
side effects.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
We had a patient who was brought to me because
he had over a ninety percent while I've had several
who had over a ninety percent blockage of their arteries.
He was scheduled for surgery because cardiologists came in and
said he will never get up off the table even
though he has ninety eight percent blockage in some of
his heart arteries. We started the ECP. After we had
done it, they said that there was less than ten
(27:36):
percent blockagen his arteries. I had another patient ninety percent
blockage in her arteries. They were doing the surgery. They
did one side. She had a stroke. They brought her
in because they said that they couldn't do the other
side because of their stroke condition. We did the ECP
on her, had it measured afterwards. Priorities were actually clearer
on the non surgical side than on the surgical side.
(27:57):
You can actually open up the arteries in and actually
have a substitute for having a heart by pass. The
other thing we are getting is that ECP has been
very beneficial for kidney function. Not only does it increase
the blood flow to the heart, but it also increases
the blood flow to the kidneys. At least seventy percent
of all hypertension originates there and always a reduction in
(28:20):
hypertension that's associated with ECP.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Does it also help with restless legs syndrome?
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yes, And that's one of the things that we found
out because we had patients who not only had congestive
heart failure but also had wrestless leg and they talked
about how that did a dramatic difference on that and
they were able to sleep. There's been excellent results in
that is something that can be used.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
What about diabetes, That is absolutely a wonderful type of
thing because when you actually use ECP, there is always
a correction in the blood sugar levels and diabetes is
always improved.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Also, it's time for you to consider a new direction
for heart treatment. Schedule your appointment at Holistic Heart three

(30:25):
I'm Lisa Prather and you're listening to the Voice of
Health with doctor Robert Prether of Holistic Integration where we
get to the root cause of your health issue. Well,
today we're talking about annual lab test for everyone and
Dutch Preyther. We talked about the three tests being the
prey their profile, extensive blood work for talking about the
(30:47):
hair analysis which measures minerals and heavy metals, and then
we're going to be talking about the GI stoolkit. Let's
go back to the hair analysis and what does the
hair analysis measure? Again?
Speaker 2 (31:02):
It measures minerals and balance for the minerals, and then
also heavy metal toxic metals that could be going on.
And you're talking about you know the basic ones, lead, mercury, arsenic,
you know, all those different types of things. But even
some of the regular minerals can become toxic if they
(31:23):
become too high. Manganese would be a good example. Copper
also that can throw off the body and how it works.
So you're looking at homeostasis, not too high, not too.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Low, nice and balanced, nice and balanced. So who should
get a hair analysis?
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Everyone on an annual basis.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
That is the title of this It is it is
someone that had been diagnosed with parkins since you talked
about it was again high manganese, manganese, right, and then
you balance that out and all their way.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
I've had quite a few patients with that type of issue,
so you know, it just shows up how valuable it is,
and it's amazing how it's so many different types of
things that could be missing. I've had people who are
convinced to do it, that we're having issues and we
weren't really getting to the root cause of it. And
once we did the hair analysis there, we saw the issue.
(32:17):
You know to get that fixed up.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah. Well, let's go on to the third test, and
that is the GI stoolkit, everybody's favorite. Yeah right, But
what is measured with that with the GI steelkit.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Well, in the GI stoolkit, the important part of that
is really what is your gut flora doing the gut flora.
There's been a tremendous amount of research that has been
going on with the gut flora. The National Institute of
Health has a very, very extensive analysis of how that
(32:54):
affects the health of the body, and they even put
out a announcement that it was far more extensive than
what they had ever imagined. A matter of fact, they
were saying that this would the research that they're doing
will change healthcare in America because almost all autoimmune diseases
is coming from gut. They were even talking about the
(33:17):
effects on cardiovascular disease cancer. That really a tremendous amount
of all those different types of things are really originating
from the gut. You're talking about with the gut itself,
if you took the average person's and flattened out the
whole gut to you know, a single cell, small intestine,
(33:38):
large small tests and large intestine and you laid it out,
it would cover a football field.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
So you know you've got all the little villi in
through there and everything's kind of stacked up. But that's
how much surface area that you're talking about, Wow, which
is a lot. And you don't think about that type
of thing going on in your gut, but that's how
much surface areas is happening. You also have eighty percent
(34:06):
of your immune system around the gut. Now you know
why is that because that's where eighty percent of your
infections come through, eighty percent of the toxins come through
your gut. Your gut is such an incredible key portion
of your health that it's you know, we've been saying
that for years and years and years, and the science
(34:29):
and the medical aspect of that is finally caught up
and proven what we've been saying since when I was
taking the whole diplomat program. And even we have people
who are writing about it in the Alternative Healthcare quote
unquote Alternative Healthcare saying that the gut is the key
to health back in the nineteen twenties, and you know
(34:50):
that was kind of ridiculed by the established medical profession
at that point, but it's absolutely true. So the God
is such a critic part and I tell people that
you need to really be thorough on what's going on
in your health, you have to do one of the
gi stool kits.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
So what role does it play with the immune system?
So you said eighty percent of immune systems around the gut.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Eighty percent of the immune system around the gut, and
then the gut itself has its own immune system going on,
and the amount of stress on the gut. If you
can take off the stress in the gut, the immune
stress or reduce it significantly, you know, probably every almost
every single person would probably get over cancer, it would
(35:38):
relieve most of the cardiovascular disease, You would probably stop
any autoimmune process. If you could relieve the stress off
the gut. Infections, most of the stresses of the immune
system come through through the gut, and if you reduce it,
your immune system is strengthened. So the gut is just
absolutely critical. One of the things is that pharmaceuticals destroy
(36:03):
the normal floora of the gut. All pharmaceuticals, not just antaibotics.
Antibotics are terrible if you take for the gut, I mean,
you know, Yeah, there are times where you have to
take an antibiotic, but it should be reduced quite significantly,
because if you take a ten day supply of antibiotics,
it will for a healthy person, it will take three
(36:26):
months for the gut flora to recover.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
And that's a healthy person.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
That's a healthy person. If you have it constantly, on
a constant type of basis, you're destroying the gut flora.
If you have six antibiotics before the age of six,
your gut flora is shut.
Speaker 6 (36:42):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
So you're streading yourself up.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
All sorts of different types of diseases. We're talking about
add autism, We're talking about cardiovascular cancer, you know, weakened
immune system, autoimmune diseases. All of those things are really
starting in the gut. So having a good picture of
that and how to get that corrected is absolutely essential
(37:06):
to be able to get people healthy again.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
So the gi effects, that's what they call the stoolkit,
is showing up any infection in the gut.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
It does show up, has a very strong indication of
infection parasites. How much stress is going on in the
immune system, a leaky gut, how the digestive enzymes are working,
whether the fat balance in the gut is there. It
tells me a tremendous amount of what's going on, even
(37:36):
gives me a very good indication of what's defision in
the diet. One of the things is that there's a
balance between the gut floor on whether the body is
getting enough fiber. Remember, I've talked many times about the
balance between fiber and carbohydrates simple sugars, and you need
to have at least a balance in there, if not
(38:00):
fiber than the simple sugars, and people don't have that.
I've not started out with any patient who has balanced
on that. We have gutten patients balanced, but it's very few.
Most of the time there should be about a fifty
to fifty split between the two. Most of the time
it's ninety eight percent to two percent.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
Wow, And you can you.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Can see that on the toolkit that you are taking
in way too many simple sugars. You need to increase
your fiber. And fiber is like one of the most
healthy things that you can probably take in if you
want to, you know, don't take a multi vitamin, take fiber.
You will get more benefit out of that than almost
anything else. Fiber is probably the magic bullet for almost
(38:46):
any disease in your system.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Intended, Actually it was can can leaky gut? You mentioned
leaking gut? Can that be measured?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
It can? We can measure from the gut exactly whether
there's a leaki gut. And that is something that the
National Institute of Health confirmed. We've been talking about it
for many, many decades, the idea of a leaky gut,
and basically what that means is that large proteins are
getting into the bloodstream that shouldn't be getting there and
(39:18):
causing autoimmune reactions. So that can be measured, so we
can tell whether someone has a leaky gut that is
going on. Then we have to fix that to be
able to get the person well because that puts on
way too much stress on the body because there's too
much inflammation and the person will not not be healthy
until we can get that balanced down.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
And when you talk about inflammation, it's a lot of
inflammation coming from the gut.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Eighty percent of all inflammations coming from the gut.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
So what role does gut play and weight loss?
Speaker 2 (39:49):
That is, you know, if you have the good balance
in the gut flora, it will automost automatically get you
back into normal weight. So if you have a fifty
to fifty split on your fiber and carbohydrates on the
gut floor, then you are probably going to be at
your normal weight. So what they found for weight loss
(40:12):
is that the easiest, almost always effective means of doing
that is increasing fiber m H. It's just one of
the best weight loss processes in the body.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Right And we're talking today about annual lab test for everyone.
Time to come in and get those annual love.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
If you haven't had it done, have it done right well.

doctor Robert Prayther. The Voice of Health Wellness Tip featuring
patient success stories from Holistic Integration. Here's what Mike had
(41:15):
to say about his patient experience at Holistic Integration.
Speaker 7 (41:19):
I heard doctor Prayther on the radio and it just
intrigued me. My wife had seen a holistic doctor for
years and had great success, and you know, it was
just listening to it. It was like it just made
sense to me, you know, other than here, take this
pill and what have you. So I heard the radio
and I thought, oh, they got a podcast. So I
started looking at it and I'm thinking of your cover
in Vitamin D and your cover and all the different
(41:42):
things and explaining all those things. And it was an
education obviously. That's what really drew me to it, just
because you start going, wow, that makes perfect sense. Why
do we not do that? You know, everybody's great here.
I mean they're just super friendly. My son just recently
started to and he's just like, man, Dad, those people
are so nice. I said, no, they're genuine, really good people.
Oh they found my cholesterol was high. I knew that
(42:04):
my trichlystrides were high, Vitamin D level was low, testosterone
was low, just lots of different things, you know, things
that most doctors would never check. I'm doing lots of supplements.
The supplements I've taken over the last year, my testosterume's
gone up one hundred and fifty points, which is just
by taking supplements. Cholesterol has gone down, triglystrides have gone
(42:24):
down when I changed my diet. My wife's working on me,
but no just drastic improvements that The last test I
did was or they check your heart. I tested really well,
like eighty out of one hundred, which were sixty four
years old. I was pretty pleased with so I tested.
Hired my thirty eight year old son. We did the ECP.
I lost my father at fifty two of a massive
heart attack. My mother died of congestive heart disease, but
(42:45):
she was in her eighties, so she'd lived along long
life but very healthy until the last few months. But
I just wanted to stay out in front of the
heart thing. It was one of those things that I
looked at and I'm thinking, you know, this makes a
lot of sense. It's so simple and makes so much sense.
So I did that and it felt great afterward. I
can really tell the difference in the way I feel,
and I think the ECP. I think it's been a
(43:07):
couple of years ago. It was post COVID. I think
when I did that a couple more years, we'll do
it again in the infrared sona, which I've done three
of those now, and that thing's amazing. I might have
to get one of those at home. That think's pretty cool.
It's kind of like I've heard this analogy. Your body's
like your car you haven't worked on. You take it
somewhere you trust who are going to fix it properly,
(43:29):
and you know you can go to the doctor, a
regular physician. I'm not slamming them, but I'm just I've
gone there, you know, and they don't have the answers.
My son went and he said, asked his doctor for
indoor kinology. He says, will you check my vitamin D?
And he said, why would.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
I do that?
Speaker 7 (43:44):
I mean his vitamin D was fifteen. I mean it's
in the tank. So those are the kind of things
to take it look at something different.
Speaker 2 (43:50):
You know.
Speaker 7 (43:51):
I've always said, if the world is for it, it's
probably something wrong with it. And if the world's against it,
there's probably some truth that.
Speaker 6 (44:00):
But you know.
Speaker 7 (44:00):
An in doctor Breather's story of his grave disease, my
wife had graves disease. Wish we'd have known what we
knew now, the famous Pobseger line, which I didn't know
now what I didn't know that. But anyway, going back
to the Graves disease, you know, my wife had her
thyroid radiated, and you know, we look back and we go, gosh,
if we'd just known something different and there was no
alternative back then. This is what you gotta do, and
(44:22):
you gotta do it now.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
Well, Caleb, thank you first for wanting to share your story.
Of course, what brought you into Holistic Integration.
Speaker 6 (45:07):
Well, I've had a chronic migraine for over the past
two years.
Speaker 8 (45:11):
I've been to dozens and dozens of doctors.
Speaker 6 (45:14):
I've had absolutely nothing that could break it, stop it.
Speaker 8 (45:18):
No doctors could figure it out.
Speaker 6 (45:20):
In just about a month and a half ago or so,
my local chiropractor back where I'm from heard your guys'
podcast recommended us to you heard that you had one
hundred percent success rate with migraines, and since then You're right?
Speaker 3 (45:35):
And how long ago was that?
Speaker 6 (45:36):
Probably a little over a month ago was my first
official appointment.
Speaker 3 (45:40):
Wow, you said you had migraines, chronic migraines for over
two years.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (45:45):
And you're a young man. Oh yeah, yeah, this is
during your high school years. How did that affect your life?
Speaker 2 (45:53):
Well?
Speaker 6 (45:53):
Going back even further back in first grade was the
first time I ever remember having a migraine.
Speaker 1 (45:59):
Since then, and of.
Speaker 8 (46:00):
Course I've had migraines headaches, just randomly.
Speaker 6 (46:03):
Sixth grade I had one bad enough that my doctor
prescribed me suma tripped in. After that, I'd take my
migraine medicine, laid down and it would work. Well. A
little over two years ago, February twenty sixth, it was
a Sunday afternoon, probably around eleven o'clock in the almost afternoon. Yeah,
got a migraine. Took some ibuprofen to start out with.
(46:24):
It didn't help, just got worse. Took my migraine medicine
that also didn't work, and it just hasn't left since.
Since then, I've seen dozens of neurologists. I've seen indochronology, rheumatology, dermatology,
multiple physical therapists, chiropractors, you name it, I've seen them.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
Were you able to go to school? What was your
social life like my life?
Speaker 6 (46:45):
I was very fortunate that we started homeschooling me just
a little while before this started. Because of that, I
was able to work ahead a bit before the migraine.
But ever since then, my memory's been absolutely nothing compared.
Speaker 2 (46:56):
To what it was.
Speaker 8 (46:57):
I haven't been able to complete my school.
Speaker 6 (47:00):
Well, I haven't been able to go to work nearly
as much, if at all. It's been almost completely debilitating.
Speaker 3 (47:05):
Yeah, and this was two years ago. It's amazing. You
know the date and the time you heard about us
from your chiropractor. That's right, and you travel how far
to see us?
Speaker 8 (47:17):
A little over an hour each day there and back.
Speaker 3 (47:20):
Tell me about your first appointment? What was that like?
Speaker 8 (47:24):
First appointment?
Speaker 6 (47:25):
And now keep in mind, anytime I've gone to another appointment,
all the doctors are like, well, we can.
Speaker 8 (47:31):
Throw some more medications at you.
Speaker 3 (47:33):
We can try this we can try that.
Speaker 6 (47:35):
Nothing's actually sounded hopeful. Yeah, there's not been too much confidence.
But whenever I came in here, doctor Praither walked in
the room. He had me stand up, He looked at
me in the eyes. The first thing he said to
me was.
Speaker 8 (47:48):
Like, oh, yeah, we can fix this.
Speaker 3 (47:50):
So you had help. Absolutely wonderful.
Speaker 6 (47:53):
He's had confidence like no other doctor has, no other physician,
and anytime that of them would examine me, it was
different than what he would do, and he was able
to start listing and naming the problems, whereas other doctors
are like, oh, we.
Speaker 3 (48:08):
Don't know that was your first appointment. Uh huh, yeah,
I'm sure you've got X rays three your spine.
Speaker 8 (48:15):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (48:15):
Yeah, what did they find out through your diagnostics?
Speaker 8 (48:19):
Ironically, just three months or so before that, I've had.
Speaker 6 (48:23):
Back issues for a while, like back pain, and one
of my neurologists finally thought, okay, maybe that could be related.
So I had some MRIs A both my neck and spine.
They thought they found some stuff in it. I went
to neurosurgery to have that reviewed. They said, no, everything's fine,
and the couple neurologists other ones that I've seen since
(48:44):
then have all said the same thing. Whenever I got
the X rays back, and doctor Dodge and doctor Praither went.
Speaker 3 (48:49):
Over them with me.
Speaker 6 (48:51):
Even I could see with an untrained eye how out
of place my back is and my neck gets straight
where it's supposed to be curved, curved where it's supposed
to be straight.
Speaker 8 (49:00):
I've got level scoliosis in my spine.
Speaker 6 (49:02):
It's the curves are exaggerated in some areas and non
existent in others.
Speaker 3 (49:06):
It's a mess. And you saw that because I rody
the X ray and you get a nice X ray report.
Oh yeah, then what happened? You got your first adjustment
at last orthogonal adjustment?
Speaker 5 (49:17):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (49:18):
What did you think of that? What was your experience?
Speaker 6 (49:20):
It was kind of funny because the way that I
would describe it to relatives that would ask me afterwards
is I'd have my head laying down on this funny
pillow sort of thing, and then this somewhat miniaturized science
fiction shot needle coming down to rest towards the back
of the ear, just behind my ear lobe.
Speaker 8 (49:40):
Doctor Prayther steps on. It makes a tiniest bit of movement.
Speaker 6 (49:45):
You hardly feel anything, but once I sat back up
and got reevaluated.
Speaker 8 (49:50):
It was nine and day difference. It was absolutely incredible.
Speaker 3 (49:54):
You've been coming a month now, that's right. And what
has been the result since?
Speaker 6 (50:00):
And I've had more improvement through my migraine and other
areas as well than any other doctor, any other physician, chiropractor,
physical therapist, you name it. I've had more improvement, more
quality of life. I've been able to walk around with
my eyes open compared to just sitting in my chair
(50:20):
in my bed twenty four to seven like I used to.
Speaker 3 (50:22):
I remember the first time you came in, we had
to put you in a dark room.
Speaker 1 (50:26):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (50:26):
Yeah, have anymore, that's right. Remember talking to you. I
don't know if it was two weeks after you were
out with your friends playing pickleball, and that's all right.
You hadn't been able to do talk about how your
life has changed.
Speaker 6 (50:42):
Well, going back just a little bit more, yet again,
my migraine is something completely different. I've had headaches, then
you have migraines, and then whatever I have now is
something completely different. Okay, And physical activity is one of
my biggest triggers, even bigger than how noise and sound
would be for a no migraine, so even walking around
(51:03):
like my neighborhood would be something that would completely wipe
me out. I might be down for the next couple days,
if not weak or two let alone doing something like
pickleball or airsoft probably my favorite physical activity ever. But recently,
after doctor Praether and doctor Dodge helped readjust my spine,
they set my head on street by readjusting my at
(51:26):
list other things to help release all sorts of tension
and detox my body. And then whenever he readjusted my palate,
it just kind of topped things off, and after that
I was able to be walking around.
Speaker 8 (51:36):
I was able to run a little bit, lifts light weights, and.
Speaker 6 (51:40):
Then I was even able to play a little bit
of pickleball and not get worse the next day. I
was able to do them every day in a row,
which is something I haven't been able to do since
his migraine started.
Speaker 3 (51:50):
Wow, that's wonderful. Do you feel like you have your
life back?
Speaker 6 (51:54):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (51:54):
Yeah, now, of course I have my good days and
bad days.
Speaker 6 (51:57):
I'm not all the way better, but this is the
best I've consistently been ever since it started.
Speaker 3 (52:02):
Right, and it's only been a month. Exactly what would
you like to say to you know, maybe someone listening
to this has had my grains or has given up hope.
What would you say to them.
Speaker 6 (52:13):
I'd say that there's always answers, because that was something
that I always wanted to look for.
Speaker 8 (52:17):
I didn't want to just be better. I wanted to
know why I was bad and that I.
Speaker 2 (52:21):
Can say better.
Speaker 6 (52:22):
Yeah, this place has given me more answers and more
solutions to all my questions than any other place combined.
Speaker 3 (52:29):
Wonderful. Well, thank you for sharing your story, Kaine. Of course,
anything else you'd like to share.
Speaker 6 (52:34):
It's almost every doctor's office that I've ever been into,
it's almost as if they don't care.
Speaker 3 (52:38):
And now you might have a good doctor, you might
have a good.
Speaker 6 (52:41):
Receptionist, you might have a good nurse, But here it's
a combination of all of it. I haven't found a
single team member that I don't like that isn't caring,
that's always wondering how I am, how I've been doing,
what my life.
Speaker 3 (52:53):
Has been like.
Speaker 6 (52:55):
Everybody's been so nice, so kind, and it makes me
so much happier to be able to come in each
every time.
Speaker 3 (53:00):
Yeah, well, we appreciate you because you brought in donuts.
I have just a little token of my appreciation. Well, thanks, Kylin.
Speaker 2 (53:07):
My pleasure.

understanding your health. As doctor Praither always says, if you
don't test, you don't know. There are certain lab tests
(53:58):
that all of us should have at least once for year.
At Holistic Integration, we recommend three affordable tests that provide
the blueprint to your health. The prey Thor Profile is
the most comprehensive blood analysis available, providing more information about
the function of your body than any other test. Minerals
are the common deficiencies in your body, and hair analysis
(54:18):
is the most effective way to analyze mineral levels. The
balls have the largest influence on the immune system, and
the best way to test that is through the GI
Effect Stoolkit. Don't guess when it comes to your health.

Hi, I'm Lisa Praither and welcome to the Voice of
Health with our host, doctor Robert Praither of Holistic Integration,
where lives are changed every day through the natural approach
to healthcare. Today we're talking about annual lab test for everyone.
And doctor Preather, what do you mean when you say
annual lab tests for everyone?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
You know, there's certain diagnostic tests that different people should
be taking. You know, when you reach a certain age,
you should be getting EKGs, you should be getting certain
types of cancer tests, calling tests, all those types of things.
But what does everyone need at least on an annual basis?
And I'm talking about from a baby to one hundred
(00:56):
and five?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
You know what about one hundred and six?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Well, one hundred and six would be fine too. Of
course after one hundred and five, I don't think you
need annual. But you know, it's what is it that
everyone needs, what is actually expected and what is the
best thing for you on an annual basis. So we
have three tests that we talk about. You know, our
blood test with your analysis is something whenever you come
(01:21):
in for your annual exam that you should have a nice,
thorough one that's recommended by every single healthcare provider, insurance, hospitals,
all the doctor groups all recommend that. But I'd also
throw in there a care analysis, and I would also
throw in a GI stoolkit, you know, as things that
(01:43):
everyone should be having on an annual basis just to
get the basics of how your health is going and
give a synopsis of what's happening and what should be done.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
So those three tests that you recommend, the blood work,
and we're going to go through each of these. Sure,
but the thorough blood work, hair analysis, taking for trace minerals,
and the GI stool kit stood correct, wonderful. Well, let's
go into details about that and why they're highly recommended.
(02:17):
And I know you used the best labs in the
country for each of these. You've been in practice for
thirty years really looking at the best labs for these.
What I like too is they're inexpensive. They're inexpensive to
the patient and yet can tell them so much about
their health these three tests. Sure, So let's start with
(02:38):
the blood test. It's called the praise or profile, right,
And how did they get that name?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
The labs named it that.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
The labs.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, they were coming in and I was setting up
my labs when I first started out, and I gave
them a list of what I was wanting to do,
and they were looking at it and said, wow, this
is a really good a lab test, you know, nice
and thorough, a good profile. And you know, they said, well,
(03:06):
could we offer that to other doctors? And I said, oh,
certainly that wouldn't be a problem for me. I would
really appreciate it. So we get back the you know,
the orders for the lab test, and they had named
it the preyth Or profile. And anyway, since it's been
named and it's nationally offered, it's offered by every single
(03:28):
major lab corporation in the United States. A matter of fact,
I was talking to a doctor out in California. I
was talking to him about a patient over the phone
and he says, there and he says, now, are you
the Preythrower of the Preathrough profile, And I said, yeah,
that's that's me. He said, oh, I love that test.
And the reason that it's so nice is because it
(03:50):
doesn't overdo it. You know, where you're doing way too
many tests, but you basically can tell if there's anything
wrong with someone. In other words, if you have something wrong,
it will show up in the preak their profile. Now
I will need to probably do further testing lab tests
to find out and dig a little deeper, but it
(04:11):
gives an indication. Yeah, it's a little snippet in there
of all the different types of areas, so you can
come in and it would be what you would call
an executive profile. I have so many patients who come
in and you know, I said, well, you know, we
need to do some blood work, and they go, oh,
I've had to really thorough blood tests. You know. My
(04:32):
doctor always does throw and I get them and I'm like,
h no, you know, this isn't really covering every possibility
of what could be going on. So I need to
do further blood tests just to kind of cover everything.
And oftentimes it was something that was missed. You know.
It's there's a feeling in there of not ordering too
(04:52):
many lab tests, but it really winds up saving the
insurance company if you can figure out what's going on. So,
you know, I've had people who came in and I
went to the hospital and they had twenty thousand dollars
worth of tests that they did on me, and I
look at their blood test and it was just a
comprehensive metabodic panel and I'm like, okay, you know that's
(05:16):
that's not thorough. Let's do the blood test, which is
pretty cheap first, huh, you know, less expensive. And when
I do the full panel on that, I go, ah,
here it is, you know, here's your problem. And they go,
you know, you mean that was it. That was all
they needed to do. And I didn't have to pay
(05:36):
all that money because you know, they still had their
their deductible and everything. I said, yeah, sorry, but you know,
you start out with a good thorough blood test because
that's the most thorough, comprehensive, least invasive way of really
finding out what's going on.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
So yeah, can you imagine the money healthcare systems safe?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Talk about your education that you had. You have a
diplomat Internal diagnostics. Explain that too, and how that differs
your education than most actors.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Well, we even look at the blood test differently. I
get in medical doctors and nurse practitioners, and I need
to retrain them. It's easier to take people who are
lay people and train them on my blood work because
I don't have to unlearn them. So it definitely takes
me longer to teach an MD and a nurse practitioner
(06:33):
how to read the blood work than a lay person
because they've been already told on looking at it from
a disease care standpoint. So you know, when I get
a nurse practitioner, she comes to me with this blood
work and says, you know, this is what the patient has,
but I don't see anything really wrong with the blood test,
and I point out to them where the deficiencies are
(06:56):
and then they go, oh, okay, because what they they
look at is the reference ranges, and the reference ranges
has nothing to do with what is is the optimal
blood test. So there are there are optimal blood panels
(07:17):
that should be done. TSA should be two point five,
thyroxin should be eight eight point five. You know, all
those different types of lab values should be at very
particular points for optimal reading. And that's what we look at.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
And the reference ranges aren't the optimal.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
No, the reference ranges are what fifty percent of the
population has.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Well, I want to be better than the fifty.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
A lot of the fifty are sick, So you know,
the optimal ranges may not be in the even in
the reference range.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Why did they do reference range to help the doctor.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Well, the reference range is just a a ballpark of
where things should be. The federal government, you know, had
told them that they can't put down optimal ranges. I'm
not quite sure why, but they don't want the labs
to determine what that is. The doctor should but the
(08:18):
doctors aren't really trained and optimal that's not part of
their training. When you go through medical school, you get
fifteen hours of reading blood test. I have over six
hundred hours of reading blood test, you know, to understand
how that all goes together. So it's a different type
(08:38):
of a pattern along those lines, a different way of
thinking about it. And you know, there are many times
where I get a patient in and their doctor has
already read their blood tests. They bring in their old
blood tests, and you know, there's nothing wrong with you.
At What they mean is that there's no pharmaceutical or
surgery that we need to do. That's what that means.
(09:01):
In other words, there's nothing that I can really do
for you according to this. Whereas I look at that,
and if they have low adrenals, that's not something that
the medical profession will treat. But we do because we're
dealing with structure function. We're looking at balance. We have
things we don't use poisons and toxins which are pharmaceutically based.
(09:24):
What we do is we use natural products to enhance
and balance out the system and bring the body into
optimal performance, which is a huge difference from how they
treat medically disease care.

Robert Praether The Voice of Health Wellness tip featuring rapid
release technology. Well, let's talk about fascia restrictions. Fashion is
kind of like a shrink wrap that surrounds every muscle
in our body, and it can become dried out and
lose elasticity, leading to more tension and stiffness.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
One of the interesting things that they've been doing research,
and this has just come out within the last two years,
is that the fascia is one single organ. It's as
much of an organ as your liver, heart or kidneys.
So all the fascia in your body is completely connected
with each other and intercommunicates with each other. It's the
main thing that determines your posture. Matter of fact, it
has a very big effect on the nervous system. So
(10:46):
as you can get the fashia back into alignment, it
can actually change how the nervous system works. And much
of the muscle is controlled by the fashion materru and
if you look at the low back, it just covers
the entire low back. Sometimes your low back problems is
connected to the fashion material. Fascia is really where rapid
release comes through. One of my good friends, Warren Hammer,
(11:08):
that's his main thing is fascial. Actually I introduced him
to the rapid release. He came to my office. I
was working on him doing some adjustments, and then I
took the rapid release and went over and he goes,
what is that. As soon as he saw the rapid release,
it's just revolutionized his treatment. Yeah, and that's the main
thing he teaches now is how to release fascion with
(11:29):
rapid release.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
A lot of people are tight in their glutes. The
pure formist syndrome, will get them in a prolonged stretch
and run the rapid release over that just for a
few minutes. Big changes.
Speaker 2 (11:42):

When you're looking at structure, function care, what it does
is it gets to the root cause of the problem.
People come in, they say, I've been to six different
places and I said, well, you know, let's look at this.
Those symptoms are really interesting. Let's get to the cause
of it.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
And they go, oh, finally, finally someone wants to get
to the cause of it.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
They've been saying, well, you know, doc, I'm supposed to
take this steroid cream, but what caused it in the
first place doesn't matter. Well, I think it does. The
patients are smart enough to say, wow, that doesn't sound
right to me. You might have had to pairrot that
in medical school. That doesn't fly with me. And so
getting to the cause of it and balancing out the
body and you can have the exact same symptom and
(12:59):
have com completely different causes. Just that symptom doesn't necessarily
mean it's a oneset cause.

A blods.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Yes, Sabdu, you're listening to the Voice of Health with
doctor Robert Praither of Holistic Integration, the most comprehensive wellness
center in the Midwest. Today, we're talking about annual lab
test for everyone and DOT your preyther We're talking about
(13:44):
three tests that you recommend it for everyone and they're
very affordable. First one we're talking about is a prey
their profile. That's our extensive blood work. So let's talk
about what can be measured with the prey their profile
all these blood tests.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Well, it's nice because the prey through profile covers everything.
You've got the ENDERCN system, you've got liver function, kidney function,
mineral balance, the immune system. So everything that could go
wrong with you shows up in our blood test. So
having that done, I have a lot of people who
come in and say, you know, I just want the
you know, the prey through profile, just to see what's happening,
(14:23):
just for diagnostic, keep up on everything, not really looking
for any care, but just to make sure that they're
doing well. I even have mds coming in and having
that done, you know, and then help me review it
with them, just because it's a different way of approaching it,
and it really, you know, if you're really looking to
find out what is my optimal health, where am I
really in my health overall picture, that's just a great way.
(14:48):
In other words, just like I was talking to one
patient and she thought that she had had different types
of things going on. She had people who read her eyes, ierdology,
she had people muscle tester, she had a lot of
different ways that people were looking at it, you know,
to find out what was going on. And she had
several different ideas of what they were saying. And I said, well,
let's not guess let's find.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Out, let's take your lifeblood.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Let's do the blood work. Here analysison's toolkit. And you know,
it was just such a relief to her because then
she knew what was going on. We don't guess. We know,
so when I tell the patient that they have something
going on, we know what the problem is. And it's
very reassuring to know what the issue is. And then
we can remasure it to find out how the progress
(15:37):
is going.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And I like how very individualized. And we review the
blood work with them extensively. We give them a copy
as we're reviewing it with them, have.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Things marked down so that the patient knows, and then
the patient starts to really get into it. And I've
had patients who you know, moved away and they called
up and you know, they tell their doctor that they
want to get blood tests, and then they call me
and say, well, guess what my sodium level is at
this time? You know. So they're trained, so they're looking
(16:10):
at which is very reassuring to know that you can
even look at your lab tests. So they all want
their lab tests when they've moved away because they're reading it.
You know, they're in the medical I think I'm annoying
a lot of doctors from that, but they but they're
reading their blood work as they're going along, which is
very reassuring. You know that, you know you have a
(16:30):
patient who has more control ownership in their care, becomes
a healthier person, a better in my opinion, a better patient,
and other doctor's opinions, it may not be a better
patient because you know, they know when things are often
when things are right, as we train them, what are
the proper values right?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
And you talked about the optimal optimal values what they're
going for, So why is the praise or profile so important.
One of these three lab tests that you say everyone
should have on an annual basis.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
It's your You know, when you've got your life blood,
you can tell more from a blood test than anything
else in the entire world. You can get more information
from that from any other diagnostic test. And you know
they're relatively cheap, you know to get that. But you
know when they talk about your life blood, that is
very true. Your life is in your blood, and the
best way to find out how your life is going,
(17:21):
how your health is going, is through your blood. It's
just a fantastic means. And you know when I found
out all that you can find out. You know, I
wouldn't practice if I couldn't take blood tests, you.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Know, and you don't personally take them blood, well, yeah,
I'm glad you don't.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Well I think, yeah, I'm yeah, that's not well, I
mean I don't I don't mind it, but that's not
something that I really have time.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
But you are a little squeamish to the whole.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Well, when I have my blood take, I don't mind
other people's blood taken. I can watch that all day.
I'm not really fond of so, you know, for those
that are like, oh, I think when I have my
blood taken, we lay you down.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah, we haven't.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
We're really good at that. Yeah, we have excellent blood drawers.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Yes we do.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah, I'm really and we do draw the blood right
there in our office. And we have excellent people who
draw blood. You hardly even feel it.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
The children they get their blood drawn at our office,
you know, love the phlebottomus.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, they're very very good, and we mentioned
on it. But for those of you who are squeamish
on getting their blood drawn, I'm one of them. I
turn kind of white and maybe a little green and
they lay me down to draw my blood. But I
get it done regularly so I can make sure that
I'm keeping up on my health. Doctor has to stay
(18:44):
healthy too, But I always I don't like to call
it squeamish. It's the warriors response. They actually have named
it that, okay, because what happens when you start losing
blood your blood pressure drops, because then you don't bleed out.
So there's about fifteen percent of the males especially have that.
(19:07):
And actually they called it the warriors response because they
were being cut in battle and I would start to
bleed out and their blood pressure would drop, and so
that they could keep on fighting and not lose as
much blood. So there's a definite change. When I have
my blood drawn, my blood pressure drops. Did you warriors response?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yes, I flat to get your blood drun doesn't sound much.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I like to think of it as a warrior's response.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
You think whatever you want, all right. What's the difference
between reading blood work functionally as opposed to disease care.
You touched on this a little bit, but what is
the difference. There's a big difference.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Disease care is that you're looking for major catastrophic type
of changes. That have taken place in the lab test.
So even like taking cholesterol, Now, when I look at
when cholesterol goes high, first thing I'm looking for is
why you know, there's a congested toxic liver, there's a
(20:14):
lowered ENDERCN system, there's a lowered vitamin D levels. When
a medical doctor looks at cholesterol that's gone high, oh
it's time for somelipatory. So I'm looking for causes and
they're looking for taking care of the symptoms. You know,
what is it that we do to get this response?
(20:36):
So when se reactive protein is real high, well what
am I going to do to lower it? Anti inflammatory?
What I do is I look at it and say, well,
why has that occurred? So the thought process is completely different.
And again, you know, one of the things that I'm
doing on that is retaining my nurse practitioners and my
(20:57):
medical doctors. Because I said there, I said, no, no, no,
you're thinking disease care. We're not here for disease care.
We're here for structure function care. First. Now we need
to make sure that major types of things are taken
care of pharmaceutically, which we usually refer out for. But
(21:19):
in our office, what we're doing is we're dealing with
balancing the body, bringing it back into homeostasis. Structure function
care is all about balance. How do you balance out
the body and bring it back into balance and balance
is called homeostasis. The definition of health is homeostasis in
the body. And so it's a different mindset, it's a
(21:41):
different way of looking at the process. It's a different
way of looking at the body and the patient, and
it's hard to switch back and forth between the two.
So it is definitely a training process along those lines.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
And then how often do people have optimal blood work?
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Very seldom. No one comes in with really decent blood tests.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
The omen to have you check it, it's you.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Know, it's usually off. The only people who have blood
tests that are working well, you know, that are in
optimal ranges are people who've been seeing us for a while.
Those are the people, and we get people in with
perfect blood tests and that's the ideal that we're going for.
But people do not start out with optimal blood tests.
(22:22):
That's just really rare to see somebody coming in. So
really everybody is needing to get their home ustaces back
into under control.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Okay, well, that's one of the three lab tests that
you recommend for everyone. So let's go on to the
second one, hair analysis. Why is hair analysis important.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Well, you know you've got the blood, but then we
also want to look at the tissue. So the main
thing that we're looking at with the tissue is the
minerals and heavy metals to see what's going on with that.
And the best place to look at that is in
the easy way to cut off something as your hair
(23:05):
or your nails. Not too many people want their piece
of their flesh taken off and then nanily that would
not be popular.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
No, let's take some flesh.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yes, So the tissue that either the nail or the
hairs on your head or anywhere on your body is
then taken broken down, and then we can take a
look and see what's going on with the mineral content
and the tissue. And it can be different than in
the blood, and so there's a tremendous amount that can
be garnered from that. You know, the calcium magnesium levels
(23:41):
can really indicate what's going on with osteoporosis in the
body and even be a predictor and also tell us
if we are starting to change that around. So anyone
who's concerned about osteoporosis should have a hair analysis. That's
one of the most important things that can be done. Also,
the copper's inc ratio is very for the hormone balance.
(24:03):
It also shows up quite a bit with the immune
system manganese. Either having too low manganese can affect the
pituitary and pineal gland also cause problems with the pancras insulin.
Diabetes is very much involved with that. If you get
too high of manganese, it can imitate Parkinson's. I've had
(24:24):
people who came in who were diagnosed with Parkinson's and
really they had manganese toxicity. I'll lower their manganese back
down to normal and all their symptoms went away. You
can have too high of copper and that can cause
emotional and mental issues. You can have too high of mercury,
which can cause a whole host of problems. You can
(24:44):
have too high of arsenic which causes neurological issues. So
there are just a lot of different types of things
that you need to get from air tissue that you
can't get from blood tests and other different types of tests.
So the hair analysis of one of the things. So
I talked about this absolutely essential for having a good
understanding of what's your health and what's going on and
(25:07):
how to balance you out in homeostasis.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
And that's why we're talking about these three tests and
why they're so important to encompass the whole health right.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
You can't get stuff from you know, you have to
have all three of them.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Okay, when come back. More on annual lab tests for everyone.

Speaker 4 (25:47):
I feel good though, man. I had been sick for
a while. I came down with something. I was sick
for like two weeks. I had to go to urgent care.
So the nurse comes in or face to face, she's
asking me questions. She goes, what are you in for?
I said, my no US clog. She said, you've been
taking anything? I said, just sudo fed and she goes, oh,
can you spell that for me? I was like, sudofed,
(26:11):
I maybe could I would like you to take a
stab at it, though rh feels like something.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
You should know. I know y'all share a.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Lease with a T mobile store, but this feels like
day one stuff. Honestly, look, I've been taking ibu profit
as well, so maybe I sounded that one out. You
can you can write that down fanatically.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Bring yourself back to heart health with Holistic Heart Treatment
from Holistic Integration. Holistic Heart was created with the goal
of offering all inclusive, medically sounds, safe, natural, and non
invasive cardiac care to our patients. Surgery and prescription medications
are not the only treatments of bailable for cardiac patients,
but they are unfortunately the only options presented by many
(27:05):
other healthcare providers. These invasive procedures and prescription medications can
also lead to more pain and greater risk of serious
side effects.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
We had a patient who was brought to me because
he had over a ninety percent while I've had several
who had over a ninety percent blockage of their arteries.
He was scheduled for surgery because cardiologists came in and
said he will never get up off the table even
though he has ninety eight percent blockage in some of
his heart arteries. We started the ECP. After we had
done it, they said that there was less than ten
(27:36):
percent blockagen his arteries. I had another patient ninety percent
blockage in her arteries. They were doing the surgery. They
did one side. She had a stroke. They brought her
in because they said that they couldn't do the other
side because of their stroke condition. We did the ECP
on her, had it measured afterwards. Priorities were actually clearer
on the non surgical side than on the surgical side.
(27:57):
You can actually open up the arteries in and actually
have a substitute for having a heart by pass. The
other thing we are getting is that ECP has been
very beneficial for kidney function. Not only does it increase
the blood flow to the heart, but it also increases
the blood flow to the kidneys. At least seventy percent
of all hypertension originates there and always a reduction in
(28:20):
hypertension that's associated with ECP.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Does it also help with restless legs syndrome?
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yes, And that's one of the things that we found
out because we had patients who not only had congestive
heart failure but also had wrestless leg and they talked
about how that did a dramatic difference on that and
they were able to sleep. There's been excellent results in
that is something that can be used.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
What about diabetes, That is absolutely a wonderful type of
thing because when you actually use ECP, there is always
a correction in the blood sugar levels and diabetes is
always improved.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Also, it's time for you to consider a new direction
for heart treatment. Schedule your appointment at Holistic Heart three

(30:25):
I'm Lisa Prather and you're listening to the Voice of
Health with doctor Robert Prether of Holistic Integration where we
get to the root cause of your health issue. Well,
today we're talking about annual lab test for everyone and
Dutch Preyther. We talked about the three tests being the
prey their profile, extensive blood work for talking about the
(30:47):
hair analysis which measures minerals and heavy metals, and then
we're going to be talking about the GI stoolkit. Let's
go back to the hair analysis and what does the
hair analysis measure? Again?
Speaker 2 (31:02):
It measures minerals and balance for the minerals, and then
also heavy metal toxic metals that could be going on.
And you're talking about you know the basic ones, lead, mercury, arsenic,
you know, all those different types of things. But even
some of the regular minerals can become toxic if they
(31:23):
become too high. Manganese would be a good example. Copper
also that can throw off the body and how it works.
So you're looking at homeostasis, not too high, not too.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Low, nice and balanced, nice and balanced. So who should
get a hair analysis?
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Everyone on an annual basis.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
That is the title of this It is it is
someone that had been diagnosed with parkins since you talked
about it was again high manganese, manganese, right, and then
you balance that out and all their way.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
I've had quite a few patients with that type of issue,
so you know, it just shows up how valuable it is,
and it's amazing how it's so many different types of
things that could be missing. I've had people who are
convinced to do it, that we're having issues and we
weren't really getting to the root cause of it. And
once we did the hair analysis there, we saw the issue.
(32:17):
You know to get that fixed up.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah. Well, let's go on to the third test, and
that is the GI stoolkit, everybody's favorite. Yeah right, But
what is measured with that with the GI steelkit.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Well, in the GI stoolkit, the important part of that
is really what is your gut flora doing the gut flora.
There's been a tremendous amount of research that has been
going on with the gut flora. The National Institute of
Health has a very, very extensive analysis of how that
(32:54):
affects the health of the body, and they even put
out a announcement that it was far more extensive than
what they had ever imagined. A matter of fact, they
were saying that this would the research that they're doing
will change healthcare in America because almost all autoimmune diseases
is coming from gut. They were even talking about the
(33:17):
effects on cardiovascular disease cancer. That really a tremendous amount
of all those different types of things are really originating
from the gut. You're talking about with the gut itself,
if you took the average person's and flattened out the
whole gut to you know, a single cell, small intestine,
(33:38):
large small tests and large intestine and you laid it out,
it would cover a football field.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
So you know you've got all the little villi in
through there and everything's kind of stacked up. But that's
how much surface area that you're talking about, Wow, which
is a lot. And you don't think about that type
of thing going on in your gut, but that's how
much surface areas is happening. You also have eighty percent
(34:06):
of your immune system around the gut. Now you know
why is that because that's where eighty percent of your
infections come through, eighty percent of the toxins come through
your gut. Your gut is such an incredible key portion
of your health that it's you know, we've been saying
that for years and years and years, and the science
(34:29):
and the medical aspect of that is finally caught up
and proven what we've been saying since when I was
taking the whole diplomat program. And even we have people
who are writing about it in the Alternative Healthcare quote
unquote Alternative Healthcare saying that the gut is the key
to health back in the nineteen twenties, and you know
(34:50):
that was kind of ridiculed by the established medical profession
at that point, but it's absolutely true. So the God
is such a critic part and I tell people that
you need to really be thorough on what's going on
in your health, you have to do one of the
gi stool kits.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
So what role does it play with the immune system?
So you said eighty percent of immune systems around the gut.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Eighty percent of the immune system around the gut, and
then the gut itself has its own immune system going on,
and the amount of stress on the gut. If you
can take off the stress in the gut, the immune
stress or reduce it significantly, you know, probably every almost
every single person would probably get over cancer, it would
(35:38):
relieve most of the cardiovascular disease, You would probably stop
any autoimmune process. If you could relieve the stress off
the gut. Infections, most of the stresses of the immune
system come through through the gut, and if you reduce it,
your immune system is strengthened. So the gut is just
absolutely critical. One of the things is that pharmaceuticals destroy
(36:03):
the normal floora of the gut. All pharmaceuticals, not just antaibotics.
Antibotics are terrible if you take for the gut, I mean,
you know, Yeah, there are times where you have to
take an antibiotic, but it should be reduced quite significantly,
because if you take a ten day supply of antibiotics,
it will for a healthy person, it will take three
(36:26):
months for the gut flora to recover.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
And that's a healthy person.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
That's a healthy person. If you have it constantly, on
a constant type of basis, you're destroying the gut flora.
If you have six antibiotics before the age of six,
your gut flora is shut.
Speaker 6 (36:42):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
So you're streading yourself up.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
All sorts of different types of diseases. We're talking about
add autism, We're talking about cardiovascular cancer, you know, weakened
immune system, autoimmune diseases. All of those things are really
starting in the gut. So having a good picture of
that and how to get that corrected is absolutely essential
(37:06):
to be able to get people healthy again.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
So the gi effects, that's what they call the stoolkit,
is showing up any infection in the gut.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
It does show up, has a very strong indication of
infection parasites. How much stress is going on in the
immune system, a leaky gut, how the digestive enzymes are working,
whether the fat balance in the gut is there. It
tells me a tremendous amount of what's going on, even
(37:36):
gives me a very good indication of what's defision in
the diet. One of the things is that there's a
balance between the gut floor on whether the body is
getting enough fiber. Remember, I've talked many times about the
balance between fiber and carbohydrates simple sugars, and you need
to have at least a balance in there, if not
(38:00):
fiber than the simple sugars, and people don't have that.
I've not started out with any patient who has balanced
on that. We have gutten patients balanced, but it's very few.
Most of the time there should be about a fifty
to fifty split between the two. Most of the time
it's ninety eight percent to two percent.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
Wow, And you can you.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Can see that on the toolkit that you are taking
in way too many simple sugars. You need to increase
your fiber. And fiber is like one of the most
healthy things that you can probably take in if you
want to, you know, don't take a multi vitamin, take fiber.
You will get more benefit out of that than almost
anything else. Fiber is probably the magic bullet for almost
(38:46):
any disease in your system.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Intended, Actually it was can can leaky gut? You mentioned
leaking gut? Can that be measured?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
It can? We can measure from the gut exactly whether
there's a leaki gut. And that is something that the
National Institute of Health confirmed. We've been talking about it
for many, many decades, the idea of a leaky gut,
and basically what that means is that large proteins are
getting into the bloodstream that shouldn't be getting there and
(39:18):
causing autoimmune reactions. So that can be measured, so we
can tell whether someone has a leaky gut that is
going on. Then we have to fix that to be
able to get the person well because that puts on
way too much stress on the body because there's too
much inflammation and the person will not not be healthy
until we can get that balanced down.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
And when you talk about inflammation, it's a lot of
inflammation coming from the gut.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Eighty percent of all inflammations coming from the gut.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
So what role does gut play and weight loss?
Speaker 2 (39:49):
That is, you know, if you have the good balance
in the gut flora, it will automost automatically get you
back into normal weight. So if you have a fifty
to fifty split on your fiber and carbohydrates on the
gut floor, then you are probably going to be at
your normal weight. So what they found for weight loss
(40:12):
is that the easiest, almost always effective means of doing
that is increasing fiber m H. It's just one of
the best weight loss processes in the body.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Right And we're talking today about annual lab test for everyone.
Time to come in and get those annual love.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
If you haven't had it done, have it done right well.

doctor Robert Prayther. The Voice of Health Wellness Tip featuring
patient success stories from Holistic Integration. Here's what Mike had
(41:15):
to say about his patient experience at Holistic Integration.
Speaker 7 (41:19):
I heard doctor Prayther on the radio and it just
intrigued me. My wife had seen a holistic doctor for
years and had great success, and you know, it was
just listening to it. It was like it just made
sense to me, you know, other than here, take this
pill and what have you. So I heard the radio
and I thought, oh, they got a podcast. So I
started looking at it and I'm thinking of your cover
in Vitamin D and your cover and all the different
(41:42):
things and explaining all those things. And it was an
education obviously. That's what really drew me to it, just
because you start going, wow, that makes perfect sense. Why
do we not do that? You know, everybody's great here.
I mean they're just super friendly. My son just recently
started to and he's just like, man, Dad, those people
are so nice. I said, no, they're genuine, really good people.
Oh they found my cholesterol was high. I knew that
(42:04):
my trichlystrides were high, Vitamin D level was low, testosterone
was low, just lots of different things, you know, things
that most doctors would never check. I'm doing lots of supplements.
The supplements I've taken over the last year, my testosterume's
gone up one hundred and fifty points, which is just
by taking supplements. Cholesterol has gone down, triglystrides have gone
(42:24):
down when I changed my diet. My wife's working on me,
but no just drastic improvements that The last test I
did was or they check your heart. I tested really well,
like eighty out of one hundred, which were sixty four
years old. I was pretty pleased with so I tested.
Hired my thirty eight year old son. We did the ECP.
I lost my father at fifty two of a massive
heart attack. My mother died of congestive heart disease, but
(42:45):
she was in her eighties, so she'd lived along long
life but very healthy until the last few months. But
I just wanted to stay out in front of the
heart thing. It was one of those things that I
looked at and I'm thinking, you know, this makes a
lot of sense. It's so simple and makes so much sense.
So I did that and it felt great afterward. I
can really tell the difference in the way I feel,
and I think the ECP. I think it's been a
(43:07):
couple of years ago. It was post COVID. I think
when I did that a couple more years, we'll do
it again in the infrared sona, which I've done three
of those now, and that thing's amazing. I might have
to get one of those at home. That think's pretty cool.
It's kind of like I've heard this analogy. Your body's
like your car you haven't worked on. You take it
somewhere you trust who are going to fix it properly,
(43:29):
and you know you can go to the doctor, a
regular physician. I'm not slamming them, but I'm just I've
gone there, you know, and they don't have the answers.
My son went and he said, asked his doctor for
indoor kinology. He says, will you check my vitamin D?
And he said, why would.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
I do that?
Speaker 7 (43:44):
I mean his vitamin D was fifteen. I mean it's
in the tank. So those are the kind of things
to take it look at something different.
Speaker 2 (43:50):
You know.
Speaker 7 (43:51):
I've always said, if the world is for it, it's
probably something wrong with it. And if the world's against it,
there's probably some truth that.
Speaker 6 (44:00):
But you know.
Speaker 7 (44:00):
An in doctor Breather's story of his grave disease, my
wife had graves disease. Wish we'd have known what we
knew now, the famous Pobseger line, which I didn't know
now what I didn't know that. But anyway, going back
to the Graves disease, you know, my wife had her
thyroid radiated, and you know, we look back and we go, gosh,
if we'd just known something different and there was no
alternative back then. This is what you gotta do, and
(44:22):
you gotta do it now.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
Well, Caleb, thank you first for wanting to share your story.
Of course, what brought you into Holistic Integration.
Speaker 6 (45:07):
Well, I've had a chronic migraine for over the past
two years.
Speaker 8 (45:11):
I've been to dozens and dozens of doctors.
Speaker 6 (45:14):
I've had absolutely nothing that could break it, stop it.
Speaker 8 (45:18):
No doctors could figure it out.
Speaker 6 (45:20):
In just about a month and a half ago or so,
my local chiropractor back where I'm from heard your guys'
podcast recommended us to you heard that you had one
hundred percent success rate with migraines, and since then You're right?
Speaker 3 (45:35):
And how long ago was that?
Speaker 6 (45:36):
Probably a little over a month ago was my first
official appointment.
Speaker 3 (45:40):
Wow, you said you had migraines, chronic migraines for over
two years.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (45:45):
And you're a young man. Oh yeah, yeah, this is
during your high school years. How did that affect your life?
Speaker 2 (45:53):
Well?
Speaker 6 (45:53):
Going back even further back in first grade was the
first time I ever remember having a migraine.
Speaker 1 (45:59):
Since then, and of.
Speaker 8 (46:00):
Course I've had migraines headaches, just randomly.
Speaker 6 (46:03):
Sixth grade I had one bad enough that my doctor
prescribed me suma tripped in. After that, I'd take my
migraine medicine, laid down and it would work. Well. A
little over two years ago, February twenty sixth, it was
a Sunday afternoon, probably around eleven o'clock in the almost afternoon. Yeah,
got a migraine. Took some ibuprofen to start out with.
(46:24):
It didn't help, just got worse. Took my migraine medicine
that also didn't work, and it just hasn't left since.
Since then, I've seen dozens of neurologists. I've seen indochronology, rheumatology, dermatology,
multiple physical therapists, chiropractors, you name it, I've seen them.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
Were you able to go to school? What was your
social life like my life?
Speaker 6 (46:45):
I was very fortunate that we started homeschooling me just
a little while before this started. Because of that, I
was able to work ahead a bit before the migraine.
But ever since then, my memory's been absolutely nothing compared.
Speaker 2 (46:56):
To what it was.
Speaker 8 (46:57):
I haven't been able to complete my school.
Speaker 6 (47:00):
Well, I haven't been able to go to work nearly
as much, if at all. It's been almost completely debilitating.
Speaker 3 (47:05):
Yeah, and this was two years ago. It's amazing. You
know the date and the time you heard about us
from your chiropractor. That's right, and you travel how far
to see us?
Speaker 8 (47:17):
A little over an hour each day there and back.
Speaker 3 (47:20):
Tell me about your first appointment? What was that like?
Speaker 8 (47:24):
First appointment?
Speaker 6 (47:25):
And now keep in mind, anytime I've gone to another appointment,
all the doctors are like, well, we can.
Speaker 8 (47:31):
Throw some more medications at you.
Speaker 3 (47:33):
We can try this we can try that.
Speaker 6 (47:35):
Nothing's actually sounded hopeful. Yeah, there's not been too much confidence.
But whenever I came in here, doctor Praither walked in
the room. He had me stand up, He looked at
me in the eyes. The first thing he said to
me was.
Speaker 8 (47:48):
Like, oh, yeah, we can fix this.
Speaker 3 (47:50):
So you had help. Absolutely wonderful.
Speaker 6 (47:53):
He's had confidence like no other doctor has, no other physician,
and anytime that of them would examine me, it was
different than what he would do, and he was able
to start listing and naming the problems, whereas other doctors
are like, oh, we.
Speaker 3 (48:08):
Don't know that was your first appointment. Uh huh, yeah,
I'm sure you've got X rays three your spine.
Speaker 8 (48:15):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (48:15):
Yeah, what did they find out through your diagnostics?
Speaker 8 (48:19):
Ironically, just three months or so before that, I've had.
Speaker 6 (48:23):
Back issues for a while, like back pain, and one
of my neurologists finally thought, okay, maybe that could be related.
So I had some MRIs A both my neck and spine.
They thought they found some stuff in it. I went
to neurosurgery to have that reviewed. They said, no, everything's fine,
and the couple neurologists other ones that I've seen since
(48:44):
then have all said the same thing. Whenever I got
the X rays back, and doctor Dodge and doctor Praither went.
Speaker 3 (48:49):
Over them with me.
Speaker 6 (48:51):
Even I could see with an untrained eye how out
of place my back is and my neck gets straight
where it's supposed to be curved, curved where it's supposed
to be straight.
Speaker 8 (49:00):
I've got level scoliosis in my spine.
Speaker 6 (49:02):
It's the curves are exaggerated in some areas and non
existent in others.
Speaker 3 (49:06):
It's a mess. And you saw that because I rody
the X ray and you get a nice X ray report.
Oh yeah, then what happened? You got your first adjustment
at last orthogonal adjustment?
Speaker 5 (49:17):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (49:18):
What did you think of that? What was your experience?
Speaker 6 (49:20):
It was kind of funny because the way that I
would describe it to relatives that would ask me afterwards
is I'd have my head laying down on this funny
pillow sort of thing, and then this somewhat miniaturized science
fiction shot needle coming down to rest towards the back
of the ear, just behind my ear lobe.
Speaker 8 (49:40):
Doctor Prayther steps on. It makes a tiniest bit of movement.
Speaker 6 (49:45):
You hardly feel anything, but once I sat back up
and got reevaluated.
Speaker 8 (49:50):
It was nine and day difference. It was absolutely incredible.
Speaker 3 (49:54):
You've been coming a month now, that's right. And what
has been the result since?
Speaker 6 (50:00):
And I've had more improvement through my migraine and other
areas as well than any other doctor, any other physician, chiropractor,
physical therapist, you name it. I've had more improvement, more
quality of life. I've been able to walk around with
my eyes open compared to just sitting in my chair
(50:20):
in my bed twenty four to seven like I used to.
Speaker 3 (50:22):
I remember the first time you came in, we had
to put you in a dark room.
Speaker 1 (50:26):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (50:26):
Yeah, have anymore, that's right. Remember talking to you. I
don't know if it was two weeks after you were
out with your friends playing pickleball, and that's all right.
You hadn't been able to do talk about how your
life has changed.
Speaker 6 (50:42):
Well, going back just a little bit more, yet again,
my migraine is something completely different. I've had headaches, then
you have migraines, and then whatever I have now is
something completely different. Okay, And physical activity is one of
my biggest triggers, even bigger than how noise and sound
would be for a no migraine, so even walking around
(51:03):
like my neighborhood would be something that would completely wipe
me out. I might be down for the next couple days,
if not weak or two let alone doing something like
pickleball or airsoft probably my favorite physical activity ever. But recently,
after doctor Praether and doctor Dodge helped readjust my spine,
they set my head on street by readjusting my at
(51:26):
list other things to help release all sorts of tension
and detox my body. And then whenever he readjusted my palate,
it just kind of topped things off, and after that
I was able to be walking around.
Speaker 8 (51:36):
I was able to run a little bit, lifts light weights, and.
Speaker 6 (51:40):
Then I was even able to play a little bit
of pickleball and not get worse the next day. I
was able to do them every day in a row,
which is something I haven't been able to do since
his migraine started.
Speaker 3 (51:50):
Wow, that's wonderful. Do you feel like you have your
life back?
Speaker 6 (51:54):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (51:54):
Yeah, now, of course I have my good days and
bad days.
Speaker 6 (51:57):
I'm not all the way better, but this is the
best I've consistently been ever since it started.
Speaker 3 (52:02):
Right, and it's only been a month. Exactly what would
you like to say to you know, maybe someone listening
to this has had my grains or has given up hope.
What would you say to them.
Speaker 6 (52:13):
I'd say that there's always answers, because that was something
that I always wanted to look for.
Speaker 8 (52:17):
I didn't want to just be better. I wanted to
know why I was bad and that I.
Speaker 2 (52:21):
Can say better.
Speaker 6 (52:22):
Yeah, this place has given me more answers and more
solutions to all my questions than any other place combined.
Speaker 3 (52:29):
Wonderful. Well, thank you for sharing your story, Kaine. Of course,
anything else you'd like to share.
Speaker 6 (52:34):
It's almost every doctor's office that I've ever been into,
it's almost as if they don't care.
Speaker 3 (52:38):
And now you might have a good doctor, you might
have a good.
Speaker 6 (52:41):
Receptionist, you might have a good nurse, But here it's
a combination of all of it. I haven't found a
single team member that I don't like that isn't caring,
that's always wondering how I am, how I've been doing,
what my life.
Speaker 3 (52:53):
Has been like.
Speaker 6 (52:55):
Everybody's been so nice, so kind, and it makes me
so much happier to be able to come in each
every time.
Speaker 3 (53:00):
Yeah, well, we appreciate you because you brought in donuts.
I have just a little token of my appreciation. Well, thanks, Kylin.
Speaker 2 (53:07):
My pleasure.
