BEYOND IMMUNOSUPPRESSANTS: AUTOIMMUNE ALTERNATIVES

9/13/2025
About 1-in-6 Americans suffer from an Autoimmune Disease, which is actually a growing problem. In this episode, we talk about: —How Dr. Prather's career was inspired by his own battle with Graves' Disease, which is an Autoimmune Disease. And why making sure the Atlas is in proper place is "critical" for Autoimmune Disease and needs to be corrected first before there can be any progress. —The various categories of Autoimmune Disease: Joints and Muscles (Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Myositis), Skin and Blood Vessels (Sjogren's Syndrome, Psoriatic Arthritis, Vitiligo), Digestive (Celiac Disease, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis), the Endocrine System (Type I Diabetes, Addison's Disease, Hashimoto's, Thyroiditis, Graves' Disease), the Nervous System (Multiple Sclerosis, Myasthenia Gravis, Guillain-Barre), the Lymphatic System (Fibromyalgia), and many more. —The different infections that can kick off Autoimmune Disease, including Viruses, Bacteria, Parasitic, or Fungal. And how Heavy Metal Toxicities and Stress can cause of Autoimmune Disease. —Why the underlying cause of the Autoimmune Disease is more important to determine in Dr. Prather's Structure-Function Health Care model, while the Disease Care approach focuses on managing and suppressing the symptoms. And the "huge" role that the Gut plays in Autoimmune Diseases. —The new cutting-edge area of drugs called Biologics and how they work. And how Vaccines are actually classified as Biologics. —How Immunosuppressant Drugs can be helpful and life-saving, but can also increase your chances of Cancer and a shortened life-span. And why Dr. Prather says, "The more drugs that you take, the longer you take them, the more likely you are to have an issue." —Why your ability to fight infections, viruses, fungal, and parasites "go way down" if you are taking an Immunosuppressant Drug. —How Dr. Prather himself and many of his patients are a "testament" that Medical Doctors are wrong when taught to believe that there is no hope of getting well from Autoimmune Disease. And how the Structure-Function Care results he sees in his office disprove the Medical model's belief that symptoms should just be managed and that the patient will always get worse. —Why Dr. Prather says "we're not going to get anywhere" with an Autoimmune Disease if you have Heavy Metal toxicity. And the importance of thorough diagnostics in Structure-Function Care to determine the root cause of the Autoimmune Disease that needs to be corrected. —The effectiveness of Structure-Function Care, which is "the only way you're going to make headway in an Autoimmune Disease".

HAIR ANALYSIS: A KEY TO BETTER MENTAL HEALTH

5/17/2025
Hair Analysis is the basis of Dr. Prather's evaluation of a patient's mental health issues, because it is the best way to measure their body's mineral levels and heavy metal toxicities. In fact, Dr. Prather says that, if he can get a Hair Analysis on a patient, "probably 95% of the mental health issues go away". In this episode, find out: —Why the hair reflects what is going on in the brain and in the nervous system. And the "transformative change in people's mental health" when you "get the minerals back in Homeostasis and the heavy metals out of the system". —How the most common heavy metal toxicity Dr. Prather sees is Aluminum, which "poisons the brain" and is linked to Dementia, Alzheimer's, Osteoporosis, balance problems, aggressive behavior in children, ADHD, Autism, and Insomnia. —The problems caused by Lead, Mercury, and Nickel for mental health. And why Dr. Prather says that Nickel is "even worse" than those toxicities and is always something he checks for on patients with severe upper motor neuron diseases like Multiple Sclerosis and ALS. —The CDC study that showed 65% of all children have some sort of heavy metal toxicity. And how Dr. Prather has had "kids go from Special Ed. to Honors, just by getting their heavy metals out and balancing out their minerals". —How an imbalance in the Copper-Zinc ratio can lead to issues like Anxiety, Attention Deficit, Dementia, Depression, and Insomnia. And how high Copper is more common in females than males. —The link between high Manganese and Bi-Polar, Parkinson's symptoms, and tremors. And the importance of a proper Calcium-Magnesium ratio. —Why Dr. Prather says that you can do everything possible, but are "never going to get a person's mental health issues under control until you get rid of those heavy metal toxicities". —How Dr. Prather uses a gentle and natural detoxification process for heavy metal toxicities that is "much more effective" than Chelation, which can be damaging to the Kidneys and Liver and deplete the body of minerals. —Why Amish men who do woodworking are in danger of high Arsenic levels, which can cause Anxiety, mood disorders, antagonistic personality, Depression, and Insomnia. —Dr. Prather's surprising discovery about the importance of low Molybdenum, which can cause fatigue, Depression, and can cause someone to become so tired that they can't even sleep. http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com
