We discussed the dangers of artificial sweeteners with Janet Starr Hull, PHD who is an educator, author, counselor, blogger, and motivator. She was previously an OSHA Environmental Hazardous Waste Emergency Response Specialist and Toxicologist, a firefighter, and an environmental science professor at The University of North Texas. In 1991, she was miss-diagnosed with Grave’s disease but no one knew the cause or why she was dying. Because of her engineering background, she discovered that aspartame (NutraSweet/Equal®) caused her illness! Knowing the CAUSE, she was able to cure herself naturally in a matter of months. Janet wrote Sweet Poison: How the World’s Most Popular Artificial Sweetener Is Killing—Us My Story in hopes of alerting others to the danger of the chemical sweetener. We also discussed her other book, Splenda® Is It Safe Or Not? (on her website, you can get a Free copy of her Detox Program).

Have you lost some vital function and therefore joy in your life because of injury, degeneration, inflammation or disease? Take heart! This interview will tell you how to activate your body’s healing regenerative process naturally and safely. In short, if the body built it to begin with, it can repair it!!!…it just may need a little help.  I’ve been impressed with Dr. Darcy Brunk, DC for about 16 years. He has always been on the leading edge of healing with approaches that are as natural as they are amazing. In recent years, Doc Darcy has become a nationally respected expert in stem cell therapy. His network of medical providers of Infiniti Matrix, uses cells which I believe are provably the finest. Infiniti Matrix therapy healed him after a horrific, career-ending auto accident. Inspired by that and having seen so many miraculous benefits with Infinity Matrix therapy among thousands of clients, it has become an all-consuming passion for Doc Darcy.

Healthy by Nature believes in getting to and fixing the root cause of health problems rather than simply suppressing the symptoms and managing the decline in health. I am absolutely thrilled with this week’s topic because nothing illustrates more clearly how to fix the root cause of a problem than stem cell therapy does. Stem cells built our bodies from the beginning and have repaired and renewed them our whole lives. If only our supply didn't decline with age. Well, there is real hope for healing by giving them a boost. We talk with Darcy Brunk, DC about how easy it is to replenish our supply of these tiny miracle workers. We discuss exciting success stories and interview someone whose whole family’s life was dramatically changed by Infiniti Matrix (a specific and superior source of stem cell therapy).

End of a 26-year mission?

Today’s show reviewed some of the history (highs, lows and funny bits) of Healthy by Nature and how the show will change (some will probably say “be improved”) by my stepping aside as host. I thanked my assistants, listeners, sponsors, benefactors and my ever-patient husband, Bill. Oops, flipping the pages in my notes, I accidentally skipped the part where I wanted to thank radio staff and my brother, Jim Russell, for all his loving help over the years with the website and anything else I needed. Thanks, Jim! During this show I mentioned Bobbi Vitality's website, I also alluded to the Library page with info on doing searches for health information and the "Medicine" sections where you can find help like this: Doctor Resources.
