Dr. Joel Wallach begins the show today discussing mass shootings. Asserting these shooters have nutritional deficiencies. Namely a single mineral is likely not in their diets. Asserting that iodine has been added to salt to help prevent goiters. Contending vitamin D3 is added to milk to help build strong bones in children.
Pearls of Wisdom
Doug Winfrey and Dr. Wallach discuss a news article about high health care costs. A study funded by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that 5% of Americans account for 50% of all health care spending. The study looked at three years worth of diagnostic and claims data found those with high spending on health care averaged $88,000 in 2017. Accounting for 19.5% of overall health care spending. Treating chronic health challenges such as HIV, MS, cystic fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes and cancer were those in the high spending group.
