Enjoy the Interviews Below:

Nest week I start a series on natural solutions for diabetes and I am happy to have Dr Michael Murray and Dr Michael Smith to open the series. Dr Murray is Chairman of Dr Murray Natural Living, Inc and one of the world’s leading authorities on natural medicine. He has published over 30 books on health-related topics including How to Prevent and Treat Diabetes with Natural Medicine, and his research into the health benefits of proper nutrition is the foundation for a best-selling line of vitamins and supplements at Natural Factors, where he is Director of Product Development. He is a graduate, faculty member, and serves on the Board of Regents of Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington.
For the past thirty years, Dr. Murray has been compiling a massive database of original scientific studies from the medical literature. He has personally collected over 60,000 articles from the scientific literature, which provide strong evidence on the effectiveness of diet, vitamins, minerals, herbs, and other natural measures in the maintenance of health and the treatment of disease. It is from this constantly expanding database that Dr. Murray provides the answers on health and healing.
According to Dr. Murray “One of the great myths about natural medicines is that they are not scientific. The fact of the matter is that for most common illnesses there is greater support in the medical literature for a natural approach than there is for drugs or surgery.”
Unfortunately, many people are not aware of the natural approach that can put them on the road to lifelong health. Dr. Murray has dedicated his life to educating physicians, patients, and the general public on the tremendous healing power of nature. In addition to his books, which have cumulative sales of over two million copies, Dr. Murray has written thousands of articles, appeared on hundreds of radio and TV programs, and lectured to hundreds of thousands of people nationwide.
As a consultant to the health food industry, Dr. Murray has been instrumental in bringing many effective natural products to North America, including:
• Glucosamine sulfate
• St. John’s wort extract
• Ginkgo biloba extract
• Silymarin
• Enteric coated peppermint oil
• Saw palmetto berry extract
• PGX
• PharmaGABA

My second guest is Michael T. Smith, N.D. who is a Naturopathic Physician who specializes in classical homeopathy and clinical nutrition. He received his Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Arizona.
He was selected for a family practice residency position at the Southwest Naturopathic Medical Center in Scottsdale, AZ. There he received advanced training in homeopathy and clinical nutrition.He is currently part of the North Carolina Association of Naturopathic Physicians and practices at the Carolinas Natural Health Center, in Matthews, North Carolina.
Dr. Smith is an expert in homeopathy, using it to treat most chronic and acute conditions. “Homeopathy works at a much deeper level to stimulate the body’s innate ability to heal. Homeopathy is by far one of the most effective and safest forms of medicine.”
Dr. Smith also has extensive experience using nutrition to treat various conditions, most notably diabetes. “Through using nutrition and lifestyle modifications I have been able to help people normalize their blood sugars and prevent complications from diabetes. There is no reason that anyone should suffer complications from this disease – they are completely preventable.”
Dr. Smith takes a very individualized approach to your health. “I take the time to understand you as a person.”

On Saturday I start a short series on the Ascension of 2012 and I believe it is important to everyone to know about this upcoming event.

My guest for this show to talk about the Ascension is Dr Sherri Cortland. Originally from New York State, Sherri currently resides in Orlando, Florida, with her husband, Ted Dylewski. While working on her B.A.. in communications at Mount St. Mary College, Sherri attended psychic development classes in Monticello, New York.
