The future of Disease Care medicine is described as Predictive, Preventive, Personalized, Participatory, and Precision. But as we first started to discuss on last week's show, Dr. Prather says all of those elements are already available in Structure-Function Health Care. In this episode, we talk about:
—How two patients diagnosed with the same Cancer can have different underlying causes for the same Disease.
—The importance of getting to the root cause of an issue in Structure-Function Health Care, while Disease Care focuses on symptoms.
—Why Dr. Prather actually cautions his patients against doing parasite cleanses or a Liver flush on their own. And the gentle approach he utilizes instead.
—The critical aspect of patient participation for Structure-Function Care to work, as the doctor and patient have to "work together."
—How patients who understand their health condition actually report less pain and discomfort. And why Dr. Prather always makes sure a patient receives a copy their lab tests with his own notes showing the numbers they are trying to achieve.
—The features of Homeopathic Medicine that were actually copied by the pharmaceutical industry and even "led the way" in many of changes made by pharmaceutical companies.
—Why both the diagnostics and treatments in Dr. Prather's office all focus on precision to target exactly what the patient needs. And why the "normal" ranges listed on lab tests are not the "ideal" ranges you actually need for good health.
—How Dr. Prather describes Disease Care like a football team's offense, while Structure-Function Care is a team's defense. And how "defense wins championships".
—Why using Structure-Function Health Care as primary care can improve outcomes by 85% and can also solve America's National debt.
—The number one thing Dr. Prather would change in how medicine is practiced today.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Hi, I'm Lisa Praither and welcome to the Voice of
Health with our host, doctor Robert Braither of Holistic Integration,
where lives are changed every day through the natural approach
to healthcare. Well, today we're doing part two of the
five piece of Tomorrow's medicine through the lens of structure
function medicine. And we weren't planning on doing two parts,
(00:35):
but we did not get through all five of them.
I think to go through Yeah, we got through the
first two. So before we go over those five p's,
let's just do a quick summary. And if you haven't
listened to part one, I would highly recommend it because
we go over At that time, we went over predictive
(00:56):
and preventative. We're going to finish up on preventative. Today
we're going to discuss personalized medicine, participatory and precision medicine.
But docta berth. Before we do that, let's explain what
structure function medicine is.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Well, structure function medicine is where you are taking the
body and making healthier. So the definition of health is
a homeostasis where the body is in balance, and you
need to get the body in balance both structurally and
functionally or physiologically, and that is considered health, whereas in
(01:33):
disease care, what you're doing is dealing with a set
of symptoms to get those under control. So those are
two different aspects defined by the FDA and as the
standard as far as understanding how each different type of
modality treatment which one it falls under, so that they
can be classified.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah, and you know, we were talking about these five
piece of Tomorrow's medicine, but we're already doing these structure
function care.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Structure function care is based on the five piece. I mean,
you know, it's interesting that that was already what we
were involved with. Yeah, whereas with the disease care, it
was a standardized type of thing. You had a set
of symptoms, it was classified as a certain disease, and
then you had very specific treatments for that particular disease
(02:26):
process those symptoms. Whereas now they're saying we need to
change it and then implement those types of things, which
has always been done in structure function care.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
All right, so we've talked about predictive, let's finish up
on preventative. There was just one question I wanted to
make sure that you answered. But what role does preventative
care play in reducing healthcare costs and improving outcomes long term.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Well, it's just like if you have a fire in
your house, if it's located in just one little spot,
is pretty easy to put out and it doesn't cause
a whole lot of damage. If you wait until the
whole house is on fire, then it's late. Yeah, it's
kind of late, so it's much harder to get under control.
It causes a whole lot more damage. So the sooner
(03:15):
that you can be able to fix something, the better
off you are. So preventing cardiovascular disease, looking at the
signs and symptoms of it before you actually have a
heart attack or a stroke is always a good thing.
And also if you can prevent cancer instead of waiting
until it actually occurs, that can also do a tremendous
(03:36):
amount for cutting down on costs and damage to your
body and your life expectancy. So looking at those things
and really getting on it in a preventative type of
way is the ideal type of situation.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
And I know you talk about this case. Was it
done up in Chicago where by using structure function medicine
it was already proven that it would reduce healthcare cost.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yes, over a ten year period using Structure function Care
as the primary it cut down on costs for healthcare
by sixty five percent and they had an eighty five
percent better outcomes, you know, less cancer, less cardiovascular disease,
less hospitalizations, all those different things.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, so I mean it's already here, right, We just
need to get the word out there because you know,
people don't think of it's a new paradigm Structure function care.
But like we said, chat GPT could define it, so
it's out there right all right, So let's talk about
the third P, personalized medicine. How does personalized medicine differ
(04:44):
from traditional treatment models.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Well, basically, if you had a disease, you would get
a oh you have this, these are the medicines you
should take. That's the standard of care within medicine, and
medicine has realized that's not a good way of actually
approaching it, you know, because it really doesn't cover everybody
and you don't get the high quality outcomes that you
(05:08):
really need. So what they're trying to do is come
up with personalized pharmaceuticals, whereas Structure function care has always
done that.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
So not personalized pharmaceuticals. Not personalized care.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, personalized care, personalized homeopathy, herbles combinations. We would actually
determine what each person needs based on their own physiology,
so we can actually personalize that for that particular person.
It's oftentimes, I mean, like if you have something like cancer,
there could be an awful lot of things that are
(05:43):
the underlying problem. One gentleman, we had an underlying let
having metal. Another person had parasitic infection as a toxin
in their system.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And these were people with the diagnosis of cancer.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Those were exact same, Yeah, but their underlying problem was
all different. So what we would do is figure out
what is their underlying problem, be able to detext that
out of their system, and then that really made a
huge difference as far as in their healthcare.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
You know, and I talked about this in Part one.
People are they want to diagnosis, but what's even more
important is knowing what the root problem is underlying, and
that's what structure function does. That's that personalized you're saying.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
And then be able to find the things that can
actually clear it out of the system. There was a
patient who came in who had been everywhere, traveled everywhere,
and had tried everything and what we found on them
because they had an extreme amount of pain and fatigue,
and what they had was aluminum toxicity and the aluminum
(06:55):
toxicity had caused mild fasciitis, which is a very painful
type of thing where the fashion and the body actually
hardened and would actually tear. So what we did was
we were able to detext them from the aluminum and
be able to get all, you know, basically their pain
under control, but they could barely function. But again finding
(07:17):
out what is the underlying type of thing. And all
they were doing was treating her for pain, which she needed,
but they weren't getting to the problem.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
To the root of it. So structure function medicine, which
we practice at Holistic Integration, sees the body as interconnected,
you know, a unique system. What does personalization look like,
you know in your clinical model.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, and even as we hit different aspects, we were
actually seeing what do we need to work on first?
You know, do we need to get the nervous system
working right, do we need to cleanse the person? What
are the steps that are necessary to be able to
get the best outcome for someone. Oftentimes people are into
(08:05):
you know, it's on natural types of things. Oh, I
want to do this liver cleanse or this flush, and
I want to do this parasite cleanse and make myself healthier.
And I had one gentleman come in and he says,
you know, I've you know, when can I do it?
Because I know I got parasites. When can I get
that done? Because I have a lot of fatigue? And
(08:25):
I said, well, let me ask you something. Have you
tried to do a parasite cleanse before? And he said yeah,
And I said, how'd those go? He says, I got really,
really sick and had to go off of it. He said, exactly.
So what you've got is you've got a backed up liver,
You've got a lot of toxes. See, your body can't
handle it detox We need to get your system working,
(08:46):
your detoxification process working first before we go on ahead
and get that done. And well, these are the numbers
on your lab test that will show us when you're
ready for that.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah, but I you know, people find it on Good
doctor Google.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Yeah, they you know.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I've had many of people sit there and say, oh,
you know, you found that my gallbladder is a problem.
I'm going to do a gall bladder flesh. I go no, no, no, no, no,
don't don't do that.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, it's all or nothing.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yeah, you'll you'll mind up in the hospital. Yeah, please
don't do that. Let me do it nice and gently
do it through a process.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
That's yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
People people want to be hard on themselves. Yeah, you know,
have interesting Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I thought it was just like fast yeah, yeah, but hard.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Yeah, they want to be hard on themselves. And it's like, no,
we want to be gentle on you. You know, it's
we don't need to sit there and beat you up.
You know that's interesting.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
It's interesting trying to convince people of that.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah. So how do things like genetics and lifestyle, nutrition
or even mindset shape your personalized protocols?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
You know, we do check on genetic things. We do
testing to show what enzymes, you know, what processes aren't
working well so that we can tailor you know, hey,
this person really needs has a high need for co
Q ten, this person has problems with methylation. Those types
of things are all very important also, you know, just
(10:18):
understanding you know, as far as on the genetics. One
thing I did is I talked about last time how
one gentleman had a very strong Native American, So understanding
people's racial background is a very important part of what
is needed. My Black population needs different supplementation than my
(10:39):
people from Sweden, and my Korean population needs something different
than the Indian population. So understanding how that all works
and what's going to work the best for someone is
a very important part of what you're looking at. So
understanding the genetics, all those things are extremely important.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
All right, when we come back more on the five
piece of tomorrow's medicine. Does your group or organization need
a speaker for an event, The Voice of Health Radio
can come do a live show and take audience questions
on the most important health topics. Learn more on our
speaker's bureau page at the Voice of Health radio dot com.
This is the Voice of Health with doctor Robert Praither,
(11:22):
the Voice of Health Wellness Tip featuring rapid release technology.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
One of the chiropractic friends who is a soft tissue expert.
His textbook Soft Tissue Therapy is the one used in
medical schools. Heavily used as sort of the bible for
soft tissue work, and as soon as he saw rapid release,
he switched all of his treatments over to the rapid
release because it's much easier on the doctor. You get
quicker results, less painful, much better compliance. So when people
(11:51):
would be coming in for the aggress and they would
be going, I like the results, but I don't know
if I really want to do that, whereas with rapid release,
they come in and really want that done because for it, yeah,
they're like, okay, we got you carried, but can I
have it again anyway?
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Well, many patients have bottom.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
It's amazing device and incredible results. It's a great way
to get your body relaxed and get those aches and
pains out of your system.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
You're using the rapid release, so you can see people
go into that deep breathing and going more into that
what we call the pair of sympathetic mode or the
rest and digest.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Really switches and has a huge effect on the nervous system.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
And the sessions aren't long. You just do a few
minutes in each area.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
One of the patients recently with a massage therapist, so
she was doing a massage on them. She's gone, boy,
I'm just having trouble really getting this release. Walked out,
got the rapid release and she did it, and the
patient was like, Oh my gosh, that's incredible, and she
was saying, you know, I got to use that more
to get those problem areas. It works so much quicker,
so much easier. It just takes off all the stress
of me trying to really work that out, and it's
(12:57):
easier on the patient too.

Holistic Integration seminar Building Healthy Kids from the inside Out Wednesday,
August twenty seventh at six point thirty pm. You'll hear
from doctor Robert Prather, host the Voice of Health Radio.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Many moms bringing their kids. My kids starting to get
a cold, he needs an adjustment because the nervouses is
critical to be functioning correctly for the immune system to function.
Getting that nervous system the interference gone, gets the life
force going and people do better. It's something that's very
well known. I've heard it from my early days, even
(14:15):
in chiropractic. You know, I get my adjustments. This whole year,
I haven't gotten sick where I'm usually sick three or
four times. Does that actually help? And yes, chiropractic getting
that nerve interference cleared really keeps people's immune system up.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Kids absolutely love getting the justice they know.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I've had a four year old tell his parents, I'm
not feeling very well.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
I need to get an adjustment.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
It's very gentle, something that every parent should consider to
get the health and wellbeing of your childhood.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
We have something also called diathermy. What is it and
how can it help children?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Shortwave diathermy increases blood flow and empletic flow, and once
you get that going, it helps to clear out things
and it also has an antibiotic anti viral effect. So
it also seems to kill the infections themselves, and it's
perfectly safe something that can be used on kids. But
the original purpose of shortwave diathermy was basically for pneumonia patients,
(15:11):
So kids who do have the micoplasma pneumonia can certainly
come in and get some immediate benefit from that. One
of our magic little devices that we use within our office.
One of the things we use it for is otitis media.
Kids can come in and be screening because their ears hurt,
and by the time that they leave, their ears are clear.

Voice of Health with doctor Robert Prather of Holistic Integration,
(16:18):
the most comprehensive wellness center in the Midwest. We're talking
today about the five PE's of Tomorrow's medicine through the
lens of structure function medicine. And I was telling someone,
I said, well, what's your radio show going to be
on it? And I told him the title and going
through the different PE's and he added propaganda. I don't know,
(16:44):
you want to touch on that one. Just leave that
one alone.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
All right. Other people call it marketing.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
That's not a pee. All right. Well, let's talk about
participatory medicine.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
That's a good one. Let's participate on this.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
So what does participatory medicine mean, particularly for the doctor
patient relationship and structure function care.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
One thing I always tell patients that, you know, we
need to be working together. An example would be I
had a when you're talking about participation when you're talking
about autoimmune diseases. So one of the things is they're
talking about specific type of medicine, and one of their
ideas on this is the idea of having biologics, which
(17:33):
is specifically for the individual to help to suppress the
immune system. So I always when someone comes in with
a severe autoimmune disease and they've been offered to be
put on biologics and they're looking for alternatives, I oftentimes
say well, you know, how much are you going to participate?
You know, are you willing to change your diet? Are
(17:55):
you willing to you know, work with me on all this,
you know, take the supplements as you're supposed to, you know,
to be able to.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Get things back up the park.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
One gentleman had like four different autoimmune diseases and he
came in.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
And four four O my gosh.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
I sit there and I says, well, you know shows
here that you smoke, drink, smoke marijuana. You know what's
your diet like? And he said basically I eat at
McDonald's every day or Kentucky Fried Chicken. And I sat
there and I said, well, are you willing to quit smoking?
And he goes no. I said are you willing? How
many beers do you have a day? And he says,
(18:32):
how about six? And I sit there and I says, well,
you know, are you willing to change your diet?
Speaker 4 (18:37):
And he says no.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I said, biologics are perfect for you.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Why did he come in? Did his wife drag him?
Speaker 4 (18:46):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
He wasn't married, which I understand. I've a woman crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
So in that case, he was not going to be participating.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Going to well he was participating in a different way.
And you know, in those types of situations, you know
he's not willing to put in the work. So one
of the things we always see is are you willing
to put in the work? Yeah, you know, to really
go forward because it's like Eli Lilly sit there and
the reporters sit there and say, Colonel Lily, I mean,
(19:20):
you've got this medicine with all these side effects. You know,
what do you say about that? He says, Wow, you know,
if it didn't have side effects, it wouldn't be a pharmaceutical.
You know, that's the definition of a pharmaceutical. It's got
they've got problems with it. He said. I, on the
other hand, have never taken and don't plan to ever
take a pharmaceutical because I treat myself and prevent those
(19:41):
types of things from occurring through homeopathy and arbels.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
He said.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Pharmaceuticals are basically there for when the body system has failed.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Yeah, and you know what you talked to, right, We.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Talked about that the eighty percent of all care should
be structure function care, twenty percent should be disease care.
And so they're starting to get more person you know,
these five p's I think are great. Yeah, you know,
we see that in structure function care and it's worked
out quite well. And pharmaceutical I agree that all these
things need to be put in place, but you know,
(20:17):
you need to have really to have structure function care
by its basic nature, you have to have a participatory
patient because they need to do the work at home,
They need to do the exercises for the structural they
need to take the supplements, they need to make, the
dietary changes, they need to make, the lifestyle changes, all
(20:40):
those types of things.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
So yeah, let's talk about what tools or platforms are
enabling more participatory healthcare, you know today.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Well, one thing that we're trying to get into is
you know where we can see monitoring even at home.
You know, we wanted to get into AI also, you know,
be able to monitor people's dietary types of things. So
I see participatory actually going way way up with the
new tools that are coming through.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yeah, they're talking about the smart toilet. Oh yes, already
in Japan.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
And you know, I mean, what a great participatory type
of thing.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Poop starts with P, yeah, right and P and boop.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Yeah, but you can actually the way that they kind
of monitored where the coronavirus was taking off.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Yeah, was through the sewage stage.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
So they can actually tell how much of the viruses
And we could do that on an individual basis where
we would get a measurement of any type of viral
bacterial before the person's even aware of it. So that's
the future of healthcare, you know, where we're actually monitoring that.
We're monitoring your heart rate on a regular basis, where
(21:59):
we can do that.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
With the fitbit that Apple watches.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah, I mean we're going to get into things much
greater than that. Your nervous system, how that's doing. We
can monitor it, so on and on and on, you know,
to really.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Know what's going on in a person.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah. So you know, in your experience in this participatory medicine,
do those patients that are participating in their care and
I know the answer to this, so do they do
better in their outcomes?
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Absolutely? So one of the things that we want people
to do. You know, it's interesting, but people who know
what their problem is actually have less symptoms and less pain,
less discomfort because they know because they know, Yeah, and
control gives people a hope and a knowledge of what's happening.
(22:54):
And they have better outcomes.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I was just talking to someone today that's coming into
our office, and you know the way we go over
the blood work. You know, he says, I understand it.
You know, you're helping me understand it because it's so
thorough personalized. I get a copy of it. I can
write notes on it.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
It's just yeah, I mean I remember when and we're married,
when we went we used the Bradley Method for birthing
our babies and was very educational. And when I went
in to labor and having the babies, I had the
knowledge to know, Okay, now I'm going into transition. You
(23:39):
know what I'm saying, I knew and that empowered me.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
More, which cuts down on the pain.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
M hmmm, Yeah, cuts down on the pain, makes it
much easier, right. They all those types of things. I mean,
one of the things that's really important, Like I've already
you know, as I'm doing people's blood work and we
go in there and everything's all, I've got all these
notes on the blood work. You know, people are like
(24:05):
looking at all this and after I go through everything
because I've got they said, can I have a copy
of that? You got all sorts of notes on there.
You know, my I know my wife is going to
want to look at that, and I say, well, that's
you know, that's why I've made all these notes so
that you actually know and these these are the numbers
(24:26):
that we want to get to.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Yeah. Our patients know their numbers, they know where they
need to be. Yeah, because they're being educated.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
So it's a lot of people come in and say,
I don't understand why I'm you know, tired. You know,
my hypertension isn't under control. I sit there and I go, well,
you know, you understand that your kidneys are only working
at fifty percent. I said, well that doesn't sound good.
And I go, well, it's not good. And he says
(24:56):
that that can account for all my symptoms. I said yes,
and he said, why hasn't anybody told me that, you know?
And again that's that isn't a participatory type of healthcare.
And the old medical model was the patients don't need
to know, you know, we just need to write the scripts.
(25:19):
The less that they know. Because when it started to
come out with the Internet and people started to google everything,
or even before that, you know, doctors were up in
arms and like you know, this isn't why I got
into medicine. You know, I don't want to be questioned
by my patients. You know, I want to be able
(25:43):
to tell them what to do. And it's it's again
a change and something that is very necessary.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
You know, you made me think too. On the participatory
it's really important, and we courage like spouses, our partners,
you know, to come in with the patient, especially those
first couple appointments or anytime a reavol's done. You know,
it's so important to be part of that because you're
(26:12):
living together and you need to know that. So that's
part of participatory.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Too, right, because people are making a commitment to quite
a bit. Yeah, and it's going to affect the other
person too, right.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
All right, Well, we'll be back and discuss precision medicine next.
We'll be right back. Listen to the Voice of Health

the best medicine.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
And they had warned her. They had told her that
probably more than likely, as they removed you would probably
be left with the colostomy bag. And oh, she was
dreading that. She talked about it, she was obsessed by.
Finally I told her, trying to get her mind off
the colostomy bag, I've paid the surgeon a little extra money.
When you wake up, you're you're gonna look like Dolly Parton.
And then she got really nervous about that. Don't chew there,
(27:17):
don't you They are, you know? Sure enough, when she
came out into the recovery room, they had placed their
colostomy bag on her, and she we knew she was
gonna hate it and dread it, so we blew up
a couple of balloons and we just said, Mom, the
bad news is you have the colostomy, but the good
news is you look hot. She just cracked her eyes.
(27:41):
Get those off of me.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
As children develop and grow, they actually need more support
for their health. If you'd like to learn about the
structure function approach to children's healthcare that gets better results
with less risk than the disease care model of drugs
and pharmaceuticals, then join us for our free holistic Integration
Seminar Building Healthy Kids from the inside Out. Wednesday, August
(28:11):
twenty seventh, at six thirty pm, you'll hear from doctor
Robert Praither, host the Voice of Health Radio. What role
does heavy metals play in ADHD?
Speaker 2 (28:21):
There have been many, many children that we have seen
that had heavy metal toxicity as the underlying cause. The
sooner that we find that out, the less damage that
actually occurs, and the changes become much more evident. But
anytime that we can get the neurotoxins out of the system,
then we stop the changes. And actually, if you get
(28:43):
the right nutrition, the brain can heal itself again. So
looking at the underlying problems is really the main thing
that you have to do.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Yeah, and that's encouraging. You know, the brain can heal.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Neuroplasticity. They used to say that the brain, once it's
been damaged, it's done. That's been proven completely false that
there is a neuroplasticity. And the sooner you get onto
those types of things, the better things go.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Why are proper fatty acids important for ADHD?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Fatty acids make the brain, So when somebody calls you
a fat head, that's a compliment because the brain is
made up of fat fatty acids. For the repair or
the building of the brain is absolutely essential. Breastfeeding is
so important because it really gets those fatty acids that
the brain specifically needs to build, especially Omega three is
(29:34):
the most important one. But getting those omega threes into
a child with ADHD to allow for repair. Now, to
be able to get the repair, you have to get
the neurotoxins out. But as you can get those neurotoxins out,
then the fatty acids do make a very important change
in the structure and in the function of the brain.

Speaker 6 (31:34):
Way, 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.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
We're talking today about the five five piece of tomorrow's
medicine through the lens of structure function medicine Part two,
So if you haven't listened to part one, make sure
you listen to part one. Part one we talk about
predictive medicine and preventative medicine and go into a lot
of detail there. So we've talked about this Part two
(32:20):
personalized and participatory and detribray there. Let's now talk about
precision medicine and what's the difference between personalized and precision
medicine if any.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Well, personalized, you know we're talking to the individual. Precision
is that we're very very focused. One of the things
is our adjustment of course, you know. Personalized, we're looking
to get the person involved, you know, help them to
understand what their needs are, you know, help to call
them any type of fears. How do we make this
(32:54):
personal to them. Precision is that we get it perfectly
right and it just shows up in our less work.
The atlas is a very precision type of thing. We
get the vectors down to within two millimeters on each and.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Everything let's talk about the ATLAS is the first vertebrae.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
First vertebrae. It controls the lower brainstem autonomic nervous system,
has a huge effect on the vaguel nerve. In other words,
everything runs through there, everything is affected by it, so
very very critical that we get that very precise. So
that's a precision type of medicine within the chiropractice.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
And I want to talk about that. Your board certified,
the only board certified ATLAS orthogonist in the state of Indiana.
And I know people come from all over for that
type of adjustment. It's considered in the broad sense upper
cervical right. So, and you had extensive training when you
(33:53):
have to continue to go to the being educated once
a year. But about you know, how precise you do
the X rays and our X ray tech who came
from one of the big hospitals here, you know, had
never really been trained in this type.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
Of precision type of X rays.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Yeah, and he loves it.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Right as he says, we really upped his game, m
you know, on everything that he did, all the different
types of areas because we again were looking for precision,
so our diagnostics were trying to make them very precise.
So our X rays we try to make precise, our
blood work, we try to make it precise for the individual. Yeah,
(34:37):
for all of our diagnostics finding out what's going on.
Then also our treatment, we tried to make that precise.
Within our adjustments, it's a moving the vertebrae within their
range of motion on outside. It's not a mobilization per se,
but it's a precise replacement of the vertebrae into their
(34:58):
proper position. And then we're looking to see a change
in the structure of the body so that it's lined
up as it should be. So we're constantly trying to
get that down and then we do that through precision.
We also like within the homeopathics, we literally have three
(35:18):
hundred billion different settings for every single homeopathic and we
have over one hundred and fifty thousand homeopathics that we
can use.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Wow, yeah, that's precise and.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
That we can make for that individual and we can
make them specifically for them according to their physiology. Right,
So homeopathy is a very precision type of a medicine
that right now pharmaceuticals they're trying to get into and
they see that really that should be the future, which
(35:54):
I'm very encouraged by.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
That homeopathy should be the future.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Well, no the homeopathy, but even the pharmaceuticals they're trying
to do that too, okay, which I think is great.
So this is something that we've already been doing for
quite a long time, and homeopathy, interestingly enough, has kind
of led the way for a lot of the pharmaceutical changes.
So the purity the systems that the homeopaths actually had
(36:19):
in place was borrowed by the pharmaceutical companies to actually
up their grade. That's one of the reasons they got
Eli Lilly involved because he was such a well known
homeopathic pharmacist so that they could actually implement those things.
But even now they're trying to emulate homeopathy to actually
get it very precise for them.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Too interesting, And even the way we had hostic integration.
Look at blood work, let's talk about that precise, because
are the ranges we're looking at, well, define those normal
ranges that come on come on the report, We're not
looking at that.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
No matter of fact, some of the things that they
put out of abnormal are actually normal. And because what
it is is what are the It's sort of like
a bell curve and the fifty percent of the people
are in this category, but it doesn't define what is ideal. So,
you know, the liver enzymes, they have pretty wide range
(37:17):
of settings, but really all the liver enzymes, the altast
GGT should all be between eighteen and thirty and ideally
between twenty and twenty two is really where they should be.
That's more of a perfect type of range. And they
will consider like a ten normal, which is not.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Yeah, people will come into there. You know, I'm still
feeling terrible. My doctor says, my bug looks normal, you know,
so it might be within all those normal ranges, but
it's not not normal. No, it's not optimal.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
Right.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
And even then, one of the things, We've got a
new nurse practitioner and I was just going through training
her on thyroid greetings because they were teaching her, you know,
a different type of you know, how things work, and
I was reteaching her how structure function considers what are
the normal ranges? Because I say, whenever you get those
(38:12):
within this number, people feel great, and if they're not,
then they're not going.
Speaker 4 (38:19):
To feel well. She says. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
She says, all the time I had people on thyroid
medication and I'd sit there and say, wow, you know,
your numbers look fine, and they said, you know, but
they still had all the symptoms of hypothyroidism. And it's
like I didn't understand what was going on and you
just explained it to me.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Yeah. I mean, do you really want your healthcare to
be part of a bell curve? Do you want to
you know what I'm saying, right, Yeah, No, I'd rather
be optimal.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Have you been to the state there? I just had
to throw that in august.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
At the majority of people don't really look there.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
We can always work on it, right, yeah, always work
on it. So, precision medicine often means, you know, targeting
very specific biological mechanisms. How does that mesh with holistic
you know, the holistic idea of treating the whole person.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Well, you know, it's an interesting type of thing because
you can almost feel a shift occur when you've turned
somebody around. So people come in and you know, they
can just tell that they're going downhill. You know that
there's this downward spiral, and so we hit different types
of things to try to get that reversed. And then
(39:39):
all of a sudden, all the lab tests start to change.
There's like a cascade as far as on healing. You know,
you've kind of turned the corner and now all the
healing's starting to take place and they're getting all these
different types of affirmations that they are healing up and
they're actually starting to feel better.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
I just thought of another piece. Patience, I mean being patient.
Oh yeah, No, it is a big part of structure
function care.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Right Oftentimes people are saying, hey, you know, if you're
just looking to feel better quickly, you can take a
drug for that, but it doesn't have any type of
a healing yeah type of thing to it.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
And you will tell people, you know, some you know
how long this is going to take, right, could take
you know, six months or year or you know, people
don't realize how long it's taken them to get to
that point.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Right absolutely, And oftentimes they'll sit there and I say,
you know, it's like, Doc, how soon you know when
I first came in and you know, we're looking at this,
and they they look at all those supplements. I said, Doc,
how long am I going to take all those? And
I sit there and I go, well, you know it's
going to take two years. You know, you can plan
on taking stuff like this for about that length of time,
(40:57):
you know, to get where you want to be, and
it's like, well, you know, and oftentimes I'll sit there
and say, well, of course I.
Speaker 4 (41:05):
Didn't get here overnight, did I don't know?
Speaker 1 (41:09):
Yeah, but it's surprisingly how quick I know this for myself,
you know, especially the homeopathy is one of my favors,
the acupuncture. I mean, everything we do is helpful. Yesterday
I got a hydration IV you know, that just turned
me around. And the cervical decompression is really helping me.
(41:32):
But we're always checking, you know, because our bodies change.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Well it's you know, we live in a world that
is trying to decompose us. Yeah, you know, if we
don't fight it, it's going to win. So, you know,
finding all the different types of things that can help
you to do that, and like I tell people, the
more more that you can do, the quicker the results.
(41:59):
You know, understand people's limitations on time, money, all that,
but really working on it is a critical type of area.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Yeah, well, we'll be right back on the five p's
of tomorrow's medicine. Be right back. Never miss an episode

August twenty seventh at six point thirty pm. You'll hear
(43:10):
from doctor Robert Praither, host the Voice of Health Radio.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
One of the things that we do is we support
families during vaccinations make sure that they have the best outcomes.
An example of that would be a mom who came
in and she had adopted a child. They had taken
the blue boy to the doctor for the vaccinations. They
had gotten the vaccination, and that night the child went
into convulsions, had high fever. They took him into the
(43:36):
emergency room at the hospital. He actually died. Once they
revived in were able to get him through everything, and
then he was able to get home. Very traumatic experience.
And then they said, well, you know, it's time for
the child's next vaccination. My mom said, well, I correlate
that completely with a vaccination. The doctors denied that that
had anything to do with the vaccination that was done,
(43:57):
and they said you're required to go on ahead and
have that child vaccinated. And she came in to me
very distraught, and she said, you know what do I
do with this? So I said, well, you know, we
actually work with that. What we did is, I said,
which vaccinations are you going to have? And we made
up homeopathics for those. We also gave some thymus and
some other different types of supportive type of material, made
(44:18):
sure that the vitamin A was up to normal levels,
which has a lot to do with how you respond
to vaccinations. Matter of fact, the vitamin A level also
has a determination on how well children respond to vaccinations,
whether they go into crisis or not.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
How was this child's vitamin A low.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
Because they had come from an orphanage. So what we
did was we gave all those types of things, got
it all prepared, and I said bring the child back
immediately after the vaccination. We'll check them in at that point.
We checked them at it a couple things and the
child did fantastic. There was absolutely no reaction, no normal response.
And we've done that with quite a few children, you know,
on parents who were concerned of reactions either the child
(45:00):
add a problem before whenever we were able to work
with them, they had gone through the vaccinations with absolutely
no issue.
Speaker 1 (45:07):
Adding that support.
Speaker 2 (45:08):
Yeah, you know again, we're trying to take the structure
function model and then integrated into the medical model. There
is a lot of controversy about vaccinations and whether it
does cause damage to children. We have one in six
children that are diagnosed right now according to the CDC
with learning disabilities. We also have fifty four percent of
(45:30):
all children right now have some type of chronic disease
that did not used to be there. There is something
that we have done wrong with our children. We know
that there's an issue, but we don't know exactly where
it's coming from. We need to find out a different
way of actually working with us, and we feel that
Structure Function care could be the answer.

the Voice of Health with doctor Robert Prather of Holistic Integration,
(46:35):
where our mission is restoring hope to our patients. We're
talking today about the five p's of tomorrow's medicine through
the lens of Structure Function Medicine, Part two, and we've
covered in Part one predictive medicine, I'm preventative medicine. We
(46:55):
finished up Part two preventative medicine, personalized participate tory medicine,
and precision Yes. And let's talk about kind of closing
this up. In this last segment, you know what's missing,
doctor Prather, from today's mainstream medical model that structure function
medicine naturally fills.
Speaker 4 (47:16):
Well.
Speaker 2 (47:17):
I always like to use a comparison in football, so
it would be like you're playing well, just to let
you know, American medicine. Out of the thirty five industrialized countries,
our healthcare system ranks thirty eight.
Speaker 1 (47:37):
How can that be.
Speaker 2 (47:38):
Because three non industrialized countries actually do better than we do. Wow,
So we have a very you know, I was listening
to some medical doctors talk and you know, just very
prideful on American healthcare system and just what amazing job
that we do, which is like talking about a professional
(48:00):
football team that got beat by three high school teams.
Speaker 1 (48:06):
Yeah, and they're basing this then on outcomes.
Speaker 2 (48:11):
Nobody disagrees with that, The AMA agrees with it. Center
a disease control World health organization, all the major things
have all ranked us there. So it's actually true we
do have the best disease care model in the world.
But it would be like playing football and you never
(48:32):
put out a defense, so everything is an offense, and
then you take the entire team off and then give
them the football and they're going to score every time.
Speaker 4 (48:44):
Yeah, So the structure function.
Speaker 2 (48:47):
Care is the defense and then the disease care is
the offense. That's why we need And it's like they say,
defenses win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (48:56):
Yeah, defense wins. Soccer games, defense wins.
Speaker 2 (49:01):
So structure function is basically the defense of healthcare. And
without it, if they always do disease care model, no
matter if they put one hundred p's into it, they're
not going to win. Unless they implement structure function care
(49:22):
where we're trying to make people healthier, it's just not
going to happen. And the problem is, well, they let
structure function care exist in other countries, they don't let
it exist here in the United States because the pharmaceutical
companies make seventy percent of their profit here in the
United States. We've only got four percent of the world's
(49:44):
population and they make seventy percent of their wealth off
of us. Wow, they don't want us to be involved
in structure function care. Why when they did structure function
care as primary care, they down eighty five percent of
all the pharmaceuticals that people bought.
Speaker 1 (50:04):
Yeah, so is that where the propaganda comes in?
Speaker 2 (50:07):
That's where that's where the propaganda comes in. You know,
so we're never going to be successful unless we implement
structure function care in our healthcare model.
Speaker 1 (50:20):
So what does a healthcare system built on structure function
principles look like in ten years?
Speaker 2 (50:25):
Well, it should be a model where all primary care
is structure function based and then we refer to the
specialists cardiologists, oncologists, gastroinrologists, everybody else.
Speaker 1 (50:38):
Is our schools going to have to change?
Speaker 4 (50:40):
Our schools need to change?
Speaker 2 (50:42):
Yeah, are the chiropractice you know, the chiropract schools need
to change. Medical schools need to change. It's a system
that we've already figured out how it should work. You know,
chiropractors are the best at structure function care. Nurse practitioner,
physician assistant with a medical director, you know, for being
(51:02):
able to refer usually have about five clinics is what
they can run, and then refer to the specialists. Specialists
then refer back. And it would make because really the
medical doctors don't want to do primary care.
Speaker 4 (51:15):
No, they want to do where they actually do disease care.
Speaker 1 (51:19):
And patients cannot find a primary care they can't get
in right.
Speaker 2 (51:22):
Yeah, and you know, we could really open this up.
It would take a lot of training, a lot of
changes in everyone's mindset, and then help to educate the population.
And it would again, it would well, I mean, it
could wipe out the American debt because the healthcare is
such a huge part of that.
Speaker 4 (51:41):
Yeah. Wow, so financially, it would turn this country around.
It would turn the whole world around.
Speaker 1 (51:47):
Right, So what advice would you give to patients who
want to shift from reactive to proactive care?
Speaker 2 (51:54):
Find a structure function care doctor, You know, that's one
of the big things that you should do. Who then
integrates into the other healthcare model. That's why we have
Holistic Integration as our name. That basically says what we do.
We look at the body, holistically, figure out what's going on,
and then integrate into the rest of the healthcare system
(52:17):
so the people can get the best of everything. I've
had several doctors where you know, there was like six
doctors involved in it with a patient and you know,
I actually told the patient, you know, we need to
get everybody together because we're.
Speaker 4 (52:31):
Doing way too much.
Speaker 2 (52:32):
And they actually put me in charge of the meetings
because I was the only one who understood the whole
system what was going on. Yeah, and I sat there,
I said, well, first off, we need to cut down,
you know, these nineteen medicines to four. And they go,
you're right, you know which ones do we need to eliminate?
(52:52):
You know, so that we've actually got And I sat
there and I said, well, this, this, and this are
really the major things that we need to keep pharmaceuticals.
Really like that. Then I said, you know, so we
need to get it down to that, keep them. You know,
these are the diagnostics that we need to watch, and
these are the lifestyle changes. These are all the things
that this person needs to do. And they were great
(53:14):
with it.
Speaker 1 (53:15):
Yeah. Yeah, I want to make sure we have one
minute left. I want to ask this question. If you
could change one thing about how medicine is practiced today,
what would it be.
Speaker 2 (53:25):
The biggest thing is that they couldn't do direct to
consumer advertising pharmaceuticals.
Speaker 1 (53:31):
Yeah. Isn't Kennedy trying to.
Speaker 4 (53:33):
He's trying to get rid of that.
Speaker 1 (53:35):
Yeah, and why.
Speaker 2 (53:37):
Because everybody knows that that's unethical and people get too
many pharmaceuticals. Really, the doctor is the one who should prescribe.
It shouldn't be the patient deciding.
Speaker 1 (53:47):
From a commercial. From a commercial, the people are taking.
Speaker 2 (53:52):
That would be the Yeah, yeah, it's well, you know,
it's like really people buy it because well, you know,
people are people, you know, it's it's not that bright.

doctor Robert Praither.
Hi, I'm Lisa Praither and welcome to the Voice of
Health with our host, doctor Robert Braither of Holistic Integration,
where lives are changed every day through the natural approach
to healthcare. Well, today we're doing part two of the
five piece of Tomorrow's medicine through the lens of structure
function medicine. And we weren't planning on doing two parts,
(00:35):
but we did not get through all five of them.
I think to go through Yeah, we got through the
first two. So before we go over those five p's,
let's just do a quick summary. And if you haven't
listened to part one, I would highly recommend it because
we go over At that time, we went over predictive
(00:56):
and preventative. We're going to finish up on preventative. Today
we're going to discuss personalized medicine, participatory and precision medicine.
But docta berth. Before we do that, let's explain what
structure function medicine is.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Well, structure function medicine is where you are taking the
body and making healthier. So the definition of health is
a homeostasis where the body is in balance, and you
need to get the body in balance both structurally and
functionally or physiologically, and that is considered health, whereas in
(01:33):
disease care, what you're doing is dealing with a set
of symptoms to get those under control. So those are
two different aspects defined by the FDA and as the
standard as far as understanding how each different type of
modality treatment which one it falls under, so that they
can be classified.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah, and you know, we were talking about these five
piece of Tomorrow's medicine, but we're already doing these structure
function care.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Structure function care is based on the five piece. I mean,
you know, it's interesting that that was already what we
were involved with. Yeah, whereas with the disease care, it
was a standardized type of thing. You had a set
of symptoms, it was classified as a certain disease, and
then you had very specific treatments for that particular disease
(02:26):
process those symptoms. Whereas now they're saying we need to
change it and then implement those types of things, which
has always been done in structure function care.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
All right, so we've talked about predictive, let's finish up
on preventative. There was just one question I wanted to
make sure that you answered. But what role does preventative
care play in reducing healthcare costs and improving outcomes long term.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Well, it's just like if you have a fire in
your house, if it's located in just one little spot,
is pretty easy to put out and it doesn't cause
a whole lot of damage. If you wait until the
whole house is on fire, then it's late. Yeah, it's
kind of late, so it's much harder to get under control.
It causes a whole lot more damage. So the sooner
(03:15):
that you can be able to fix something, the better
off you are. So preventing cardiovascular disease, looking at the
signs and symptoms of it before you actually have a
heart attack or a stroke is always a good thing.
And also if you can prevent cancer instead of waiting
until it actually occurs, that can also do a tremendous
(03:36):
amount for cutting down on costs and damage to your
body and your life expectancy. So looking at those things
and really getting on it in a preventative type of
way is the ideal type of situation.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
And I know you talk about this case. Was it
done up in Chicago where by using structure function medicine
it was already proven that it would reduce healthcare cost.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yes, over a ten year period using Structure function Care
as the primary it cut down on costs for healthcare
by sixty five percent and they had an eighty five
percent better outcomes, you know, less cancer, less cardiovascular disease,
less hospitalizations, all those different things.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, so I mean it's already here, right, We just
need to get the word out there because you know,
people don't think of it's a new paradigm Structure function care.
But like we said, chat GPT could define it, so
it's out there right all right, So let's talk about
the third P, personalized medicine. How does personalized medicine differ
(04:44):
from traditional treatment models.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Well, basically, if you had a disease, you would get
a oh you have this, these are the medicines you
should take. That's the standard of care within medicine, and
medicine has realized that's not a good way of actually
approaching it, you know, because it really doesn't cover everybody
and you don't get the high quality outcomes that you
(05:08):
really need. So what they're trying to do is come
up with personalized pharmaceuticals, whereas Structure function care has always
done that.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
So not personalized pharmaceuticals. Not personalized care.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, personalized care, personalized homeopathy, herbles combinations. We would actually
determine what each person needs based on their own physiology,
so we can actually personalize that for that particular person.
It's oftentimes, I mean, like if you have something like cancer,
there could be an awful lot of things that are
(05:43):
the underlying problem. One gentleman, we had an underlying let
having metal. Another person had parasitic infection as a toxin
in their system.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And these were people with the diagnosis of cancer.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Those were exact same, Yeah, but their underlying problem was
all different. So what we would do is figure out
what is their underlying problem, be able to detext that
out of their system, and then that really made a
huge difference as far as in their healthcare.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
You know, and I talked about this in Part one.
People are they want to diagnosis, but what's even more
important is knowing what the root problem is underlying, and
that's what structure function does. That's that personalized you're saying.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
And then be able to find the things that can
actually clear it out of the system. There was a
patient who came in who had been everywhere, traveled everywhere,
and had tried everything and what we found on them
because they had an extreme amount of pain and fatigue,
and what they had was aluminum toxicity and the aluminum
(06:55):
toxicity had caused mild fasciitis, which is a very painful
type of thing where the fashion and the body actually
hardened and would actually tear. So what we did was
we were able to detext them from the aluminum and
be able to get all, you know, basically their pain
under control, but they could barely function. But again finding
(07:17):
out what is the underlying type of thing. And all
they were doing was treating her for pain, which she needed,
but they weren't getting to the problem.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
To the root of it. So structure function medicine, which
we practice at Holistic Integration, sees the body as interconnected,
you know, a unique system. What does personalization look like,
you know in your clinical model.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, and even as we hit different aspects, we were
actually seeing what do we need to work on first?
You know, do we need to get the nervous system
working right, do we need to cleanse the person? What
are the steps that are necessary to be able to
get the best outcome for someone. Oftentimes people are into
(08:05):
you know, it's on natural types of things. Oh, I
want to do this liver cleanse or this flush, and
I want to do this parasite cleanse and make myself healthier.
And I had one gentleman come in and he says,
you know, I've you know, when can I do it?
Because I know I got parasites. When can I get
that done? Because I have a lot of fatigue? And
(08:25):
I said, well, let me ask you something. Have you
tried to do a parasite cleanse before? And he said yeah,
And I said, how'd those go? He says, I got really,
really sick and had to go off of it. He said, exactly.
So what you've got is you've got a backed up liver,
You've got a lot of toxes. See, your body can't
handle it detox We need to get your system working,
(08:46):
your detoxification process working first before we go on ahead
and get that done. And well, these are the numbers
on your lab test that will show us when you're
ready for that.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah, but I you know, people find it on Good
doctor Google.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Yeah, they you know.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I've had many of people sit there and say, oh,
you know, you found that my gallbladder is a problem.
I'm going to do a gall bladder flesh. I go no, no, no, no, no,
don't don't do that.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, it's all or nothing.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yeah, you'll you'll mind up in the hospital. Yeah, please
don't do that. Let me do it nice and gently
do it through a process.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
That's yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
People people want to be hard on themselves. Yeah, you know,
have interesting Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I thought it was just like fast yeah, yeah, but hard.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Yeah, they want to be hard on themselves. And it's like, no,
we want to be gentle on you. You know, it's
we don't need to sit there and beat you up.
You know that's interesting.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
It's interesting trying to convince people of that.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah. So how do things like genetics and lifestyle, nutrition
or even mindset shape your personalized protocols?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
You know, we do check on genetic things. We do
testing to show what enzymes, you know, what processes aren't
working well so that we can tailor you know, hey,
this person really needs has a high need for co
Q ten, this person has problems with methylation. Those types
of things are all very important also, you know, just
(10:18):
understanding you know, as far as on the genetics. One
thing I did is I talked about last time how
one gentleman had a very strong Native American, So understanding
people's racial background is a very important part of what
is needed. My Black population needs different supplementation than my
(10:39):
people from Sweden, and my Korean population needs something different
than the Indian population. So understanding how that all works
and what's going to work the best for someone is
a very important part of what you're looking at. So
understanding the genetics, all those things are extremely important.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
All right, when we come back more on the five
piece of tomorrow's medicine. Does your group or organization need
a speaker for an event, The Voice of Health Radio
can come do a live show and take audience questions
on the most important health topics. Learn more on our
speaker's bureau page at the Voice of Health radio dot com.
This is the Voice of Health with doctor Robert Praither,
(11:22):
the Voice of Health Wellness Tip featuring rapid release technology.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
One of the chiropractic friends who is a soft tissue expert.
His textbook Soft Tissue Therapy is the one used in
medical schools. Heavily used as sort of the bible for
soft tissue work, and as soon as he saw rapid release,
he switched all of his treatments over to the rapid
release because it's much easier on the doctor. You get
quicker results, less painful, much better compliance. So when people
(11:51):
would be coming in for the aggress and they would
be going, I like the results, but I don't know
if I really want to do that, whereas with rapid release,
they come in and really want that done because for it, yeah,
they're like, okay, we got you carried, but can I
have it again anyway?
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Well, many patients have bottom.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
It's amazing device and incredible results. It's a great way
to get your body relaxed and get those aches and
pains out of your system.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
You're using the rapid release, so you can see people
go into that deep breathing and going more into that
what we call the pair of sympathetic mode or the
rest and digest.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Really switches and has a huge effect on the nervous system.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
And the sessions aren't long. You just do a few
minutes in each area.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
One of the patients recently with a massage therapist, so
she was doing a massage on them. She's gone, boy,
I'm just having trouble really getting this release. Walked out,
got the rapid release and she did it, and the
patient was like, Oh my gosh, that's incredible, and she
was saying, you know, I got to use that more
to get those problem areas. It works so much quicker,
so much easier. It just takes off all the stress
of me trying to really work that out, and it's
(12:57):
easier on the patient too.

Holistic Integration seminar Building Healthy Kids from the inside Out Wednesday,
August twenty seventh at six point thirty pm. You'll hear
from doctor Robert Prather, host the Voice of Health Radio.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Many moms bringing their kids. My kids starting to get
a cold, he needs an adjustment because the nervouses is
critical to be functioning correctly for the immune system to function.
Getting that nervous system the interference gone, gets the life
force going and people do better. It's something that's very
well known. I've heard it from my early days, even
(14:15):
in chiropractic. You know, I get my adjustments. This whole year,
I haven't gotten sick where I'm usually sick three or
four times. Does that actually help? And yes, chiropractic getting
that nerve interference cleared really keeps people's immune system up.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Kids absolutely love getting the justice they know.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I've had a four year old tell his parents, I'm
not feeling very well.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
I need to get an adjustment.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
It's very gentle, something that every parent should consider to
get the health and wellbeing of your childhood.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
We have something also called diathermy. What is it and
how can it help children?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Shortwave diathermy increases blood flow and empletic flow, and once
you get that going, it helps to clear out things
and it also has an antibiotic anti viral effect. So
it also seems to kill the infections themselves, and it's
perfectly safe something that can be used on kids. But
the original purpose of shortwave diathermy was basically for pneumonia patients,
(15:11):
So kids who do have the micoplasma pneumonia can certainly
come in and get some immediate benefit from that. One
of our magic little devices that we use within our office.
One of the things we use it for is otitis media.
Kids can come in and be screening because their ears hurt,
and by the time that they leave, their ears are clear.

Voice of Health with doctor Robert Prather of Holistic Integration,
(16:18):
the most comprehensive wellness center in the Midwest. We're talking
today about the five PE's of Tomorrow's medicine through the
lens of structure function medicine. And I was telling someone,
I said, well, what's your radio show going to be
on it? And I told him the title and going
through the different PE's and he added propaganda. I don't know,
(16:44):
you want to touch on that one. Just leave that
one alone.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
All right. Other people call it marketing.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
That's not a pee. All right. Well, let's talk about
participatory medicine.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
That's a good one. Let's participate on this.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
So what does participatory medicine mean, particularly for the doctor
patient relationship and structure function care.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
One thing I always tell patients that, you know, we
need to be working together. An example would be I
had a when you're talking about participation when you're talking
about autoimmune diseases. So one of the things is they're
talking about specific type of medicine, and one of their
ideas on this is the idea of having biologics, which
(17:33):
is specifically for the individual to help to suppress the
immune system. So I always when someone comes in with
a severe autoimmune disease and they've been offered to be
put on biologics and they're looking for alternatives, I oftentimes
say well, you know, how much are you going to participate?
You know, are you willing to change your diet? Are
(17:55):
you willing to you know, work with me on all this,
you know, take the supplements as you're supposed to, you know,
to be able to.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Get things back up the park.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
One gentleman had like four different autoimmune diseases and he
came in.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
And four four O my gosh.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
I sit there and I says, well, you know shows
here that you smoke, drink, smoke marijuana. You know what's
your diet like? And he said basically I eat at
McDonald's every day or Kentucky Fried Chicken. And I sat
there and I said, well, are you willing to quit smoking?
And he goes no. I said are you willing? How
many beers do you have a day? And he says,
(18:32):
how about six? And I sit there and I says, well,
you know, are you willing to change your diet?
Speaker 4 (18:37):
And he says no.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I said, biologics are perfect for you.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Why did he come in? Did his wife drag him?
Speaker 4 (18:46):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
He wasn't married, which I understand. I've a woman crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
So in that case, he was not going to be participating.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Going to well he was participating in a different way.
And you know, in those types of situations, you know
he's not willing to put in the work. So one
of the things we always see is are you willing
to put in the work? Yeah, you know, to really
go forward because it's like Eli Lilly sit there and
the reporters sit there and say, Colonel Lily, I mean,
(19:20):
you've got this medicine with all these side effects. You know,
what do you say about that? He says, Wow, you know,
if it didn't have side effects, it wouldn't be a pharmaceutical.
You know, that's the definition of a pharmaceutical. It's got
they've got problems with it. He said. I, on the
other hand, have never taken and don't plan to ever
take a pharmaceutical because I treat myself and prevent those
(19:41):
types of things from occurring through homeopathy and arbels.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
He said.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Pharmaceuticals are basically there for when the body system has failed.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Yeah, and you know what you talked to, right, We.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Talked about that the eighty percent of all care should
be structure function care, twenty percent should be disease care.
And so they're starting to get more person you know,
these five p's I think are great. Yeah, you know,
we see that in structure function care and it's worked
out quite well. And pharmaceutical I agree that all these
things need to be put in place, but you know,
(20:17):
you need to have really to have structure function care
by its basic nature, you have to have a participatory
patient because they need to do the work at home,
They need to do the exercises for the structural they
need to take the supplements, they need to make, the
dietary changes, they need to make, the lifestyle changes, all
(20:40):
those types of things.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
So yeah, let's talk about what tools or platforms are
enabling more participatory healthcare, you know today.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Well, one thing that we're trying to get into is
you know where we can see monitoring even at home.
You know, we wanted to get into AI also, you know,
be able to monitor people's dietary types of things. So
I see participatory actually going way way up with the
new tools that are coming through.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yeah, they're talking about the smart toilet. Oh yes, already
in Japan.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
And you know, I mean, what a great participatory type
of thing.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Poop starts with P, yeah, right and P and boop.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Yeah, but you can actually the way that they kind
of monitored where the coronavirus was taking off.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Yeah, was through the sewage stage.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
So they can actually tell how much of the viruses
And we could do that on an individual basis where
we would get a measurement of any type of viral
bacterial before the person's even aware of it. So that's
the future of healthcare, you know, where we're actually monitoring that.
We're monitoring your heart rate on a regular basis, where
(21:59):
we can do that.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
With the fitbit that Apple watches.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah, I mean we're going to get into things much
greater than that. Your nervous system, how that's doing. We
can monitor it, so on and on and on, you know,
to really.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Know what's going on in a person.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah. So you know, in your experience in this participatory medicine,
do those patients that are participating in their care and
I know the answer to this, so do they do
better in their outcomes?
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Absolutely? So one of the things that we want people
to do. You know, it's interesting, but people who know
what their problem is actually have less symptoms and less pain,
less discomfort because they know because they know, Yeah, and
control gives people a hope and a knowledge of what's happening.
(22:54):
And they have better outcomes.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I was just talking to someone today that's coming into
our office, and you know the way we go over
the blood work. You know, he says, I understand it.
You know, you're helping me understand it because it's so
thorough personalized. I get a copy of it. I can
write notes on it.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
It's just yeah, I mean I remember when and we're married,
when we went we used the Bradley Method for birthing
our babies and was very educational. And when I went
in to labor and having the babies, I had the
knowledge to know, Okay, now I'm going into transition. You
(23:39):
know what I'm saying, I knew and that empowered me.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
More, which cuts down on the pain.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
M hmmm, Yeah, cuts down on the pain, makes it
much easier, right. They all those types of things. I mean,
one of the things that's really important, Like I've already
you know, as I'm doing people's blood work and we
go in there and everything's all, I've got all these
notes on the blood work. You know, people are like
(24:05):
looking at all this and after I go through everything
because I've got they said, can I have a copy
of that? You got all sorts of notes on there.
You know, my I know my wife is going to
want to look at that, and I say, well, that's
you know, that's why I've made all these notes so
that you actually know and these these are the numbers
(24:26):
that we want to get to.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Yeah. Our patients know their numbers, they know where they
need to be. Yeah, because they're being educated.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
So it's a lot of people come in and say,
I don't understand why I'm you know, tired. You know,
my hypertension isn't under control. I sit there and I go, well,
you know, you understand that your kidneys are only working
at fifty percent. I said, well that doesn't sound good.
And I go, well, it's not good. And he says
(24:56):
that that can account for all my symptoms. I said yes,
and he said, why hasn't anybody told me that, you know?
And again that's that isn't a participatory type of healthcare.
And the old medical model was the patients don't need
to know, you know, we just need to write the scripts.
(25:19):
The less that they know. Because when it started to
come out with the Internet and people started to google everything,
or even before that, you know, doctors were up in
arms and like you know, this isn't why I got
into medicine. You know, I don't want to be questioned
by my patients. You know, I want to be able
(25:43):
to tell them what to do. And it's it's again
a change and something that is very necessary.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
You know, you made me think too. On the participatory
it's really important, and we courage like spouses, our partners,
you know, to come in with the patient, especially those
first couple appointments or anytime a reavol's done. You know,
it's so important to be part of that because you're
(26:12):
living together and you need to know that. So that's
part of participatory.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Too, right, because people are making a commitment to quite
a bit. Yeah, and it's going to affect the other
person too, right.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
All right, Well, we'll be back and discuss precision medicine next.
We'll be right back. Listen to the Voice of Health

Speaker 5 (26:55):
And they had warned her. They had told her that
probably more than likely, as they removed you would probably
be left with the colostomy bag. And oh, she was
dreading that. She talked about it, she was obsessed by.
Finally I told her, trying to get her mind off
the colostomy bag, I've paid the surgeon a little extra money.
When you wake up, you're you're gonna look like Dolly Parton.
And then she got really nervous about that. Don't chew there,
(27:17):
don't you They are, you know? Sure enough, when she
came out into the recovery room, they had placed their
colostomy bag on her, and she we knew she was
gonna hate it and dread it, so we blew up
a couple of balloons and we just said, Mom, the
bad news is you have the colostomy, but the good
news is you look hot. She just cracked her eyes.
(27:41):
Get those off of me.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
As children develop and grow, they actually need more support
for their health. If you'd like to learn about the
structure function approach to children's healthcare that gets better results
with less risk than the disease care model of drugs
and pharmaceuticals, then join us for our free holistic Integration
Seminar Building Healthy Kids from the inside Out. Wednesday, August
(28:11):
twenty seventh, at six thirty pm, you'll hear from doctor
Robert Praither, host the Voice of Health Radio. What role
does heavy metals play in ADHD?
Speaker 2 (28:21):
There have been many, many children that we have seen
that had heavy metal toxicity as the underlying cause. The
sooner that we find that out, the less damage that
actually occurs, and the changes become much more evident. But
anytime that we can get the neurotoxins out of the system,
then we stop the changes. And actually, if you get
(28:43):
the right nutrition, the brain can heal itself again. So
looking at the underlying problems is really the main thing
that you have to do.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Yeah, and that's encouraging. You know, the brain can heal.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Neuroplasticity. They used to say that the brain, once it's
been damaged, it's done. That's been proven completely false that
there is a neuroplasticity. And the sooner you get onto
those types of things, the better things go.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Why are proper fatty acids important for ADHD?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Fatty acids make the brain, So when somebody calls you
a fat head, that's a compliment because the brain is
made up of fat fatty acids. For the repair or
the building of the brain is absolutely essential. Breastfeeding is
so important because it really gets those fatty acids that
the brain specifically needs to build, especially Omega three is
(29:34):
the most important one. But getting those omega threes into
a child with ADHD to allow for repair. Now, to
be able to get the repair, you have to get
the neurotoxins out. But as you can get those neurotoxins out,
then the fatty acids do make a very important change
in the structure and in the function of the brain.

Speaker 6 (31:34):
Way, 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.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
We're talking today about the five five piece of tomorrow's
medicine through the lens of structure function medicine Part two,
So if you haven't listened to part one, make sure
you listen to part one. Part one we talk about
predictive medicine and preventative medicine and go into a lot
of detail there. So we've talked about this Part two
(32:20):
personalized and participatory and detribray there. Let's now talk about
precision medicine and what's the difference between personalized and precision
medicine if any.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Well, personalized, you know we're talking to the individual. Precision
is that we're very very focused. One of the things
is our adjustment of course, you know. Personalized, we're looking
to get the person involved, you know, help them to
understand what their needs are, you know, help to call
them any type of fears. How do we make this
(32:54):
personal to them. Precision is that we get it perfectly
right and it just shows up in our less work.
The atlas is a very precision type of thing. We
get the vectors down to within two millimeters on each and.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Everything let's talk about the ATLAS is the first vertebrae.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
First vertebrae. It controls the lower brainstem autonomic nervous system,
has a huge effect on the vaguel nerve. In other words,
everything runs through there, everything is affected by it, so
very very critical that we get that very precise. So
that's a precision type of medicine within the chiropractice.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
And I want to talk about that. Your board certified,
the only board certified ATLAS orthogonist in the state of Indiana.
And I know people come from all over for that
type of adjustment. It's considered in the broad sense upper
cervical right. So, and you had extensive training when you
(33:53):
have to continue to go to the being educated once
a year. But about you know, how precise you do
the X rays and our X ray tech who came
from one of the big hospitals here, you know, had
never really been trained in this type.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
Of precision type of X rays.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Yeah, and he loves it.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Right as he says, we really upped his game, m
you know, on everything that he did, all the different
types of areas because we again were looking for precision,
so our diagnostics were trying to make them very precise.
So our X rays we try to make precise, our
blood work, we try to make it precise for the individual. Yeah,
(34:37):
for all of our diagnostics finding out what's going on.
Then also our treatment, we tried to make that precise.
Within our adjustments, it's a moving the vertebrae within their
range of motion on outside. It's not a mobilization per se,
but it's a precise replacement of the vertebrae into their
(34:58):
proper position. And then we're looking to see a change
in the structure of the body so that it's lined
up as it should be. So we're constantly trying to
get that down and then we do that through precision.
We also like within the homeopathics, we literally have three
(35:18):
hundred billion different settings for every single homeopathic and we
have over one hundred and fifty thousand homeopathics that we
can use.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Wow, yeah, that's precise and.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
That we can make for that individual and we can
make them specifically for them according to their physiology. Right,
So homeopathy is a very precision type of a medicine
that right now pharmaceuticals they're trying to get into and
they see that really that should be the future, which
(35:54):
I'm very encouraged by.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
That homeopathy should be the future.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Well, no the homeopathy, but even the pharmaceuticals they're trying
to do that too, okay, which I think is great.
So this is something that we've already been doing for
quite a long time, and homeopathy, interestingly enough, has kind
of led the way for a lot of the pharmaceutical changes.
So the purity the systems that the homeopaths actually had
(36:19):
in place was borrowed by the pharmaceutical companies to actually
up their grade. That's one of the reasons they got
Eli Lilly involved because he was such a well known
homeopathic pharmacist so that they could actually implement those things.
But even now they're trying to emulate homeopathy to actually
get it very precise for them.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Too interesting, And even the way we had hostic integration.
Look at blood work, let's talk about that precise, because
are the ranges we're looking at, well, define those normal
ranges that come on come on the report, We're not
looking at that.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
No matter of fact, some of the things that they
put out of abnormal are actually normal. And because what
it is is what are the It's sort of like
a bell curve and the fifty percent of the people
are in this category, but it doesn't define what is ideal. So,
you know, the liver enzymes, they have pretty wide range
(37:17):
of settings, but really all the liver enzymes, the altast
GGT should all be between eighteen and thirty and ideally
between twenty and twenty two is really where they should be.
That's more of a perfect type of range. And they
will consider like a ten normal, which is not.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Yeah, people will come into there. You know, I'm still
feeling terrible. My doctor says, my bug looks normal, you know,
so it might be within all those normal ranges, but
it's not not normal. No, it's not optimal.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
Right.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
And even then, one of the things, We've got a
new nurse practitioner and I was just going through training
her on thyroid greetings because they were teaching her, you know,
a different type of you know, how things work, and
I was reteaching her how structure function considers what are
the normal ranges? Because I say, whenever you get those
(38:12):
within this number, people feel great, and if they're not,
then they're not going.
Speaker 4 (38:19):
To feel well. She says. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
She says, all the time I had people on thyroid
medication and I'd sit there and say, wow, you know,
your numbers look fine, and they said, you know, but
they still had all the symptoms of hypothyroidism. And it's
like I didn't understand what was going on and you
just explained it to me.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Yeah. I mean, do you really want your healthcare to
be part of a bell curve? Do you want to
you know what I'm saying, right, Yeah, No, I'd rather
be optimal.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Have you been to the state there? I just had
to throw that in august.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
At the majority of people don't really look there.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
We can always work on it, right, yeah, always work
on it. So, precision medicine often means, you know, targeting
very specific biological mechanisms. How does that mesh with holistic
you know, the holistic idea of treating the whole person.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Well, you know, it's an interesting type of thing because
you can almost feel a shift occur when you've turned
somebody around. So people come in and you know, they
can just tell that they're going downhill. You know that
there's this downward spiral, and so we hit different types
of things to try to get that reversed. And then
(39:39):
all of a sudden, all the lab tests start to change.
There's like a cascade as far as on healing. You know,
you've kind of turned the corner and now all the
healing's starting to take place and they're getting all these
different types of affirmations that they are healing up and
they're actually starting to feel better.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
I just thought of another piece. Patience, I mean being patient.
Oh yeah, No, it is a big part of structure
function care.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Right Oftentimes people are saying, hey, you know, if you're
just looking to feel better quickly, you can take a
drug for that, but it doesn't have any type of
a healing yeah type of thing to it.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
And you will tell people, you know, some you know
how long this is going to take, right, could take
you know, six months or year or you know, people
don't realize how long it's taken them to get to
that point.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Right absolutely, And oftentimes they'll sit there and I say,
you know, it's like, Doc, how soon you know when
I first came in and you know, we're looking at this,
and they they look at all those supplements. I said, Doc,
how long am I going to take all those? And
I sit there and I go, well, you know it's
going to take two years. You know, you can plan
on taking stuff like this for about that length of time,
(40:57):
you know, to get where you want to be, and
it's like, well, you know, and oftentimes I'll sit there
and say, well, of course I.
Speaker 4 (41:05):
Didn't get here overnight, did I don't know?
Speaker 1 (41:09):
Yeah, but it's surprisingly how quick I know this for myself,
you know, especially the homeopathy is one of my favors,
the acupuncture. I mean, everything we do is helpful. Yesterday
I got a hydration IV you know, that just turned
me around. And the cervical decompression is really helping me.
(41:32):
But we're always checking, you know, because our bodies change.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Well it's you know, we live in a world that
is trying to decompose us. Yeah, you know, if we
don't fight it, it's going to win. So, you know,
finding all the different types of things that can help
you to do that, and like I tell people, the
more more that you can do, the quicker the results.
(41:59):
You know, understand people's limitations on time, money, all that,
but really working on it is a critical type of area.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Yeah, well, we'll be right back on the five p's
of tomorrow's medicine. Be right back. Never miss an episode

Holistic Integration seminar building Healthy Kids from the inside Out Wednesday,
August twenty seventh at six point thirty pm. You'll hear
(43:10):
from doctor Robert Praither, host the Voice of Health Radio.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
One of the things that we do is we support
families during vaccinations make sure that they have the best outcomes.
An example of that would be a mom who came
in and she had adopted a child. They had taken
the blue boy to the doctor for the vaccinations. They
had gotten the vaccination, and that night the child went
into convulsions, had high fever. They took him into the
(43:36):
emergency room at the hospital. He actually died. Once they
revived in were able to get him through everything, and
then he was able to get home. Very traumatic experience.
And then they said, well, you know, it's time for
the child's next vaccination. My mom said, well, I correlate
that completely with a vaccination. The doctors denied that that
had anything to do with the vaccination that was done,
(43:57):
and they said you're required to go on ahead and
have that child vaccinated. And she came in to me
very distraught, and she said, you know what do I
do with this? So I said, well, you know, we
actually work with that. What we did is, I said,
which vaccinations are you going to have? And we made
up homeopathics for those. We also gave some thymus and
some other different types of supportive type of material, made
(44:18):
sure that the vitamin A was up to normal levels,
which has a lot to do with how you respond
to vaccinations. Matter of fact, the vitamin A level also
has a determination on how well children respond to vaccinations,
whether they go into crisis or not.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
How was this child's vitamin A low.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
Because they had come from an orphanage. So what we
did was we gave all those types of things, got
it all prepared, and I said bring the child back
immediately after the vaccination. We'll check them in at that point.
We checked them at it a couple things and the
child did fantastic. There was absolutely no reaction, no normal response.
And we've done that with quite a few children, you know,
on parents who were concerned of reactions either the child
(45:00):
add a problem before whenever we were able to work
with them, they had gone through the vaccinations with absolutely
no issue.
Speaker 1 (45:07):
Adding that support.
Speaker 2 (45:08):
Yeah, you know again, we're trying to take the structure
function model and then integrated into the medical model. There
is a lot of controversy about vaccinations and whether it
does cause damage to children. We have one in six
children that are diagnosed right now according to the CDC
with learning disabilities. We also have fifty four percent of
(45:30):
all children right now have some type of chronic disease
that did not used to be there. There is something
that we have done wrong with our children. We know
that there's an issue, but we don't know exactly where
it's coming from. We need to find out a different
way of actually working with us, and we feel that
Structure Function care could be the answer.

the Voice of Health with doctor Robert Prather of Holistic Integration,
(46:35):
where our mission is restoring hope to our patients. We're
talking today about the five p's of tomorrow's medicine through
the lens of Structure Function Medicine, Part two, and we've
covered in Part one predictive medicine, I'm preventative medicine. We
(46:55):
finished up Part two preventative medicine, personalized participate tory medicine,
and precision Yes. And let's talk about kind of closing
this up. In this last segment, you know what's missing,
doctor Prather, from today's mainstream medical model that structure function
medicine naturally fills.
Speaker 4 (47:16):
Well.
Speaker 2 (47:17):
I always like to use a comparison in football, so
it would be like you're playing well, just to let
you know, American medicine. Out of the thirty five industrialized countries,
our healthcare system ranks thirty eight.
Speaker 1 (47:37):
How can that be.
Speaker 2 (47:38):
Because three non industrialized countries actually do better than we do. Wow,
So we have a very you know, I was listening
to some medical doctors talk and you know, just very
prideful on American healthcare system and just what amazing job
that we do, which is like talking about a professional
(48:00):
football team that got beat by three high school teams.
Speaker 1 (48:06):
Yeah, and they're basing this then on outcomes.
Speaker 2 (48:11):
Nobody disagrees with that, The AMA agrees with it. Center
a disease control World health organization, all the major things
have all ranked us there. So it's actually true we
do have the best disease care model in the world.
But it would be like playing football and you never
(48:32):
put out a defense, so everything is an offense, and
then you take the entire team off and then give
them the football and they're going to score every time.
Speaker 4 (48:44):
Yeah, So the structure function.
Speaker 2 (48:47):
Care is the defense and then the disease care is
the offense. That's why we need And it's like they say,
defenses win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (48:56):
Yeah, defense wins. Soccer games, defense wins.
Speaker 2 (49:01):
So structure function is basically the defense of healthcare. And
without it, if they always do disease care model, no
matter if they put one hundred p's into it, they're
not going to win. Unless they implement structure function care
(49:22):
where we're trying to make people healthier, it's just not
going to happen. And the problem is, well, they let
structure function care exist in other countries, they don't let
it exist here in the United States because the pharmaceutical
companies make seventy percent of their profit here in the
United States. We've only got four percent of the world's
(49:44):
population and they make seventy percent of their wealth off
of us. Wow, they don't want us to be involved
in structure function care. Why when they did structure function
care as primary care, they down eighty five percent of
all the pharmaceuticals that people bought.
Speaker 1 (50:04):
Yeah, so is that where the propaganda comes in?
Speaker 2 (50:07):
That's where that's where the propaganda comes in. You know,
so we're never going to be successful unless we implement
structure function care in our healthcare model.
Speaker 1 (50:20):
So what does a healthcare system built on structure function
principles look like in ten years?
Speaker 2 (50:25):
Well, it should be a model where all primary care
is structure function based and then we refer to the
specialists cardiologists, oncologists, gastroinrologists, everybody else.
Speaker 1 (50:38):
Is our schools going to have to change?
Speaker 4 (50:40):
Our schools need to change?
Speaker 2 (50:42):
Yeah, are the chiropractice you know, the chiropract schools need
to change. Medical schools need to change. It's a system
that we've already figured out how it should work. You know,
chiropractors are the best at structure function care. Nurse practitioner,
physician assistant with a medical director, you know, for being
(51:02):
able to refer usually have about five clinics is what
they can run, and then refer to the specialists. Specialists
then refer back. And it would make because really the
medical doctors don't want to do primary care.
Speaker 4 (51:15):
No, they want to do where they actually do disease care.
Speaker 1 (51:19):
And patients cannot find a primary care they can't get
in right.
Speaker 2 (51:22):
Yeah, and you know, we could really open this up.
It would take a lot of training, a lot of
changes in everyone's mindset, and then help to educate the population.
And it would again, it would well, I mean, it
could wipe out the American debt because the healthcare is
such a huge part of that.
Speaker 4 (51:41):
Yeah. Wow, so financially, it would turn this country around.
It would turn the whole world around.
Speaker 1 (51:47):
Right, So what advice would you give to patients who
want to shift from reactive to proactive care?
Speaker 2 (51:54):
Find a structure function care doctor, You know, that's one
of the big things that you should do. Who then
integrates into the other healthcare model. That's why we have
Holistic Integration as our name. That basically says what we do.
We look at the body, holistically, figure out what's going on,
and then integrate into the rest of the healthcare system
(52:17):
so the people can get the best of everything. I've
had several doctors where you know, there was like six
doctors involved in it with a patient and you know,
I actually told the patient, you know, we need to
get everybody together because we're.
Speaker 4 (52:31):
Doing way too much.
Speaker 2 (52:32):
And they actually put me in charge of the meetings
because I was the only one who understood the whole
system what was going on. Yeah, and I sat there,
I said, well, first off, we need to cut down,
you know, these nineteen medicines to four. And they go,
you're right, you know which ones do we need to eliminate?
(52:52):
You know, so that we've actually got And I sat
there and I said, well, this, this, and this are
really the major things that we need to keep pharmaceuticals.
Really like that. Then I said, you know, so we
need to get it down to that, keep them. You know,
these are the diagnostics that we need to watch, and
these are the lifestyle changes. These are all the things
that this person needs to do. And they were great
(53:14):
with it.
Speaker 1 (53:15):
Yeah. Yeah, I want to make sure we have one
minute left. I want to ask this question. If you
could change one thing about how medicine is practiced today,
what would it be.
Speaker 2 (53:25):
The biggest thing is that they couldn't do direct to
consumer advertising pharmaceuticals.
Speaker 1 (53:31):
Yeah. Isn't Kennedy trying to.
Speaker 4 (53:33):
He's trying to get rid of that.
Speaker 1 (53:35):
Yeah, and why.
Speaker 2 (53:37):
Because everybody knows that that's unethical and people get too
many pharmaceuticals. Really, the doctor is the one who should prescribe.
It shouldn't be the patient deciding.
Speaker 1 (53:47):
From a commercial. From a commercial, the people are taking.
Speaker 2 (53:52):
That would be the Yeah, yeah, it's well, you know,
it's like really people buy it because well, you know,
people are people, you know, it's it's not that bright.
Speaker 4 (54:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (54:05):
Yeah, well, thank you, doctor Preyther, very informative.
