Get Better Sleep, Less Stress with Crystal Fusion Light Therapy | Mike Broadwell with Dr. Christine Schaffner | Episode 111 Sep 09, 2021

Show notes

Our bodies have a natural, built-in ability to heal themselves.

Every cell in the human body works tirelessly to keep us at a natural healthy balance. And these cells have the ability to heal or replace themselves, all to keep our bodies functioning at optimal levels.

To create good health, from the inside out, we must remove the things that hinder that optimal performance.

Stress is one of the main culprits that prevent us from being our best selves. Research has shown that emotional and physical stress is at the root of most diseases. Unless we address our stressors directly, how can we provide a healing outcome?

In today's episode, Dr. Christine Schaffner talks with Mike Broadwell of Solara Gem. They discuss how crystals can support your body from pain and stress, how crystal fusion light works, and how it can help your wellness journey.

Mike Broadwell has spent the last decade specializing in crystal fusion light therapy, working with leading specialists in integrative health and wellness. He offers training, consulting, and ongoing support for practitioners and individuals. He has recently launched his crystal fusion light device, called SolaraGem.

Transforming EMFs into Self-Healing Frequencies| Dr. Mindy Beck with Dr. Christine Schaffner | Episode 106 Aug 05, 2021

Show notes

What if you could now use the ElectroMagnetic Frequency (EMF) pollution to your advantage, by making this technology biocompatible?

In this episode of the Spectrum of Health Podcast, Dr. Christine Schaffner sits down with Dr. Mindy Beck to discuss how to harness the EMF pollution and wasted frequencies emitted from your devices, and transform them into beneficial information vital to the body's self-healing process.

Dr. Beck started practicing Naturopathic medicine in 2004, but as a child athlete, she developed a special interest in water and the structure of the body.

Dr. Beck first witnessed the devastating effects of artificial EMR when she was treating clients with chronic Lyme disease. This experience spurred her to research the effects of manmade EMR on biology.

Through her journey as a practitioner, her main focus came to be chronic disease with an emphasis on detoxification and teaching her clients home care techniques.

After four years of seeking solutions for her ailing patients, Dr. Beck was introduced to Biosyntonie and soon after to Pierre Nicolas himself. Knowing Pierre's methods were the answer to helping not only to protect her clients, but humanity from the destructive nature of manmade EMR, Dr. Beck retired from private practice to dedicate herself full time to the mission of launching Tilys Biotech (now YouMatrix).

Structured Water's Role in Your Health and EMF Protection | Gina Bria and Patrick Durkin with Dr. Christine Schaffner Jul 22, 2021

Show notes

Over the past several years, some exciting and dynamic research has emerged about water. Beyond liquid, solid, and vapor, there's the 4th Phase of water (also known as Structured Water, Exclusion Zone Water, and H3O2). Structured Water is the 4th phase of water. Somewhere between a liquid and a solid, there's a gel state to water. It's not thick, but silkier than H2O with one extra hydrogen and oxygen molecule. In this episode of the Spectrum of Health Podcast, Gina Bria, and Patrick Durkin join Dr. Christine Schaffner to discuss the latest cutting-edge science and research on the effects of structured water's harmonizing frequencies on EMFs, harmful chemicals, natural immune function, the healing process, as well as our agriculture.

Gina Bria is an anthropologist, advocate, head of the Hydration Foundation, recognized as a Real World Scholar, and author of Quench: Your 5 Day Plan to Optimal Hydration with Dr. Dana Cohen, MD.

Patrick Durkin is a structured water expert, founder of The Wellness Enterprise, which is the leading water solutions online resource and store, and the author of Flow: From Pure and Safe Water to Higher States of Consciousness.

Benefits of Probiotics with Chronic Sinusitis | Erik Galuppo with Dr. Christine Schaffner | Episode 103 Jul 15, 2021

Show notes

Studies using modern state-of-the-art methods (such as genetic sequencing) find that people with chronic sinusitis have a different sinus microbiome than healthy people without sinusitis.

They have fewer bacterial species and an abundance of some other species.

In this Episode of Spectrum of Health, Dr. Christine Schaffner sits down with Erik Galuppo, the co-founder of Lanto Health, to discuss the sinus microbiome, chronic sinus issues, and the benefits of taking nasal probiotics to alleviate their suffering. They also discuss the future of sinus probiotics and understanding the human microbiome.

Erik Galuppo is an entrepreneur with a recent focus on health and wellness. Erik, along with his brother, Adam. grew up battling chronic sinusitis. For 25 years, the brothers experimented with all types of antibiotics, special diets, and even sinus surgery.

The Galuppo brothers took to the internet for a better solution. They came across research suggesting that a keystone bacteria called Lactobacillus sakei is found naturally in healthy sinuses and was being used experimentally for sinus issues. Lactobacillus sakei (also known as L. sakei) is also found naturally in fermented kimchi. They first concocted their formulas using kimchi from local grocery stores and were amazed by the results. Their sinuses instantly felt healthier.

Mycotoxins & Complex Chronic Illness | Dr. Eric Gordon and Dr. Nafysa Parpia with Dr. Christine Schaffner | Episode 102 Jul 08, 2021

Show notes

According to the World Health Organization, chronic illness and disease are the leading causes of death worldwide – and they're on the rise.

But nobody is talking about what's behind most of these chronic illnesses – mold and mycotoxins (small toxins produced by fungi present in our food and homes).

If you have an underlying issue with mycotoxins, then your chronic illness may be treatable and reversible.

In this Episode of Spectrum of Health, Dr. Eric Gordon and Dr. Nafysa Parpia talk with Dr. Schaffner about the importance of detoxification therapies during mycotoxin and complex chronic illness treatment. They also discuss keeping an open mind to the diversity of diagnosing and treating complex chronic illnesses.

Dr. Nafysa Parpia has spent the last decade treating patients with complex chronic illnesses from all over the US and the world. Her specialization is patients with tick-borne disease, mold/mycotoxin illness, environmentally acquired condition, autoimmunity, fibromyalgia, and ME/CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). Modalities she uses include a synergistic blend of regenerative medicine, oral and intravenous micronutrient therapies, peptide therapies, botanical medicine, pharmaceuticals, injection therapies, functional nutrition, and lifestyle counseling.

Dr. Parpia sees patients at Gordon Medical in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is on ISEAI's Board of Directors (International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness) and is a Scientific and Medical Advisor for Neurohacker Collective. She received her Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University and her Bachelor of Science from the University of British Columbia.

Eric D. Gordon, MD, President of Gordon Medical Research Center (GMRC), is the founder and owner of Gordon Medical Associates (GMA) in the San Francisco Bay area, specializing in complex chronic illness. In addition to clinical practice (40+ years), Dr. Gordon is engaged in clinical research. Combining forces with Dr. Robert Naviaux and his research into metabolomics, mitochondrial function, and chronic inflammatory disease is now bringing this dream to life. In 2016 Dr. Gordon was co-author with Dr. Naviaux on a groundbreaking study, "Metabolic Features of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome," published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS).
