Fundamentals For Longevity Dr. Dave Hogsed | Episode 36

by | Jan 31, 2021 | The Health Made Simple Show

This week on the Health Made Simple Show, we’re joined by Dr. Dave Hogsed. As our first returnee-guest,  Dr. Dave is a chiropractor and runs the Natural Health Care Professionals Clinic in Fort Myers, FL. He specializes in combining nutritional and herbal therapies with pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF). 

Dr. Dave is also a clinical consultant and speaker for Standard Process, the whole-food product company, and his seminars are best known for simplifying clinical nutrition, herbal medicine, PEMF, laboratory testing, and weight management.

In this episode, per popular demand, Dr. Bart, Karen, and Dr. Dave navigate common questions about the COVID vaccine and how it affects your health. 

As a disclaimer, Dr. Bart and Dr. Dave don’t claim to be experts in vaccines and do not want to influence your decision to get vaccinated.

Rather this episode is simply about educating on how vaccines affect your health and how to prepare your body for a vaccine.

The art of leveling up is knowing how your actions affect your health and creating a strategy to counterbalance possible side effects. 

Because this vaccine may become mandatory to do things such as travel or work, we have to prepare our minds and bodies for optimal health.

Watch Live Show:

Recent Statistics on COVID 

Statistics and data help us make informed decisions about our health. Dr. Bart recently read that if you get exposed to COVID and have a robust immune system, data suggest that you can develop antibodies for at least eight months or ongoing. 

Dr. Dave mentioned a new statistic that said 80% of people exposed to COVID never develop symptoms. 

In addition, the Pfizer CEO has gone on record and said the vaccine has yet to be proven to defend the spread. This is because the COVID vaccine is slightly different than most vaccines. With this vaccine, you’re not getting a live vaccine to become immune. Rather this vaccine functions by a different mechanism. 

These statistics highlight the importance of being proactive about your health.

Booster Shots 

A major health concern with all vaccines is the foreign materials that they leave in the body.

The accumulation of toxins, no matter if it’s alcohol, non-organic foods, or debris left by vaccines, may take a toll on your liver. So, we must understand how the COVID vaccine booster shots may contribute to the accumulation of toxins in the body. 

After the initial vaccination, the COVID vaccine requires you to get additional booster shots. Professionals that work with the vaccine are now thinking that patients who have already been vaccinated will need to get more booster shots somewhere within the next three months. Some reports suggest that patients may potentially need to get additional booster shots two more times in the first year. 

Because most people get the flu shot every year and have accumulated other toxins in the body, you should be aware of the extra foreign substances entering the body from the boosters of the vaccine.

Vaccine Readiness 

Detoxification

One way to prepare your body for a vaccine is detoxification. 

Detoxification support is a wonderful nutritional strategy to manage the possible effects of a foreign substance entering the body. There are still huge question marks about how the COVID vaccine works in the body and the physical mechanisms that it affects. 

However, what we know for sure is that the vaccine is foreign material and will need continuous injections. So simple detox support is step number one if you get vaccinated.  

Moving forward on your health journey, you can’t ignore the component of toxins in the body. To start, understand all three phases of liver detox. Also know that if the liver is supported by whole foods, cruciferous vegetables, and herbs like milk thistle, it can handle removing all the toxins in the body.

In regards to vaccines, milk thistle helps bind the heavy metals found in vaccines and remove them from the body. It’s like the liver’s shield from toxins because it supports heavy metal chelation. Milk thistle is wonderful because it helps with the detox process while also repairing the liver.  

When it comes to detox, we’re addressing the cumulative damage to the liver. For example, if you have an alcoholic beverage every night, it causes your live cells to break down and it slows the enzymes in your liver. Therefore, your liver is vulnerable to becoming congested with other toxins. This is why it’s important to get as clean as possible to prepare your body for a vaccine, should you choose to get one. 

Getting your sugar under control 

Having blood-sugar problems (metabolic syndrome, diabetes, prediabetes, and hypertension) increases the risk of having huge covid reactions because sugar issues weaken your blood-brain barrier.

When the blood-brain barrier is weakened, more toxins can easily enter your brain. Likewise, these blood-sugar problems also out people at risk for having a bad reaction to the vaccine. So you have to get your sugar under control to minimize the risk. 

In other words, the same groups (the elderly, the diseased, the immunocompromised) that are vulnerable to COVID now are also the ones that are vulnerable to putting the vaccine, or toxins, into their body.

Questions from the Audience 

What about people who have allergies? Am I understanding that people with allergies cannot take this vaccine? 

Always go back to the basics. If you’re getting the vaccine for peace of mind or because you have to for work, go back to the basics. Support your liver to minimize that histamine allergy response. So, take milk thistle and turmeric to support your liver. 

What about alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) for the liver?

Ironically, eating liver is one of the best food sources for ALA. Liver is also one of the best food sources of zinc, which is one of the best nutrients to minimize vaccine reactions. 

Is Udo Oil similar to Cod Liver Oil? 

Udo is a plant-based oil, which is going to help inflammation. However, cod liver oil is unique because your brain is made of the same type of fat found in cod liver oil, and our brain can easily use this type of fat compared to the ones found in plant-based oils. 

Any insights on krill oil and chlorella? Also NAC for liver detox? 

NAC is what they use in a lot of emergency room settings for liver failure from acetaminophen toxicity from things like Tylenol. So if your liver is overburdened and you get sudden liver damage, NAC boosts a defense mechanism that protects your liver. However, milk thistle, turmeric, and cruciferous vegetables boost that same defense mechanism and many other antioxidants. 

If the krill oil is high-quality, it will still have the same benefits as other fish oils like protecting the brain and reducing inflammation. Chlorella is a great detoxification support for the body.

    Herbs and supplements to have in your body if you get a vaccine: 

    Turmeric 

    Turmeric supports liver detox and helps your body regulate inflammation. Because vaccines by design are meant to cause an inflammatory reaction, it’s important to regulate inflammation. Too much inflammation in the body can set the stage for autoimmune diseases, especially if you already have chronic inflammation. So using turmeric is a great remedy for inflammatory responses. 

     

    Vitamin D

    According to experts, vitamin D is a large factor in determining if you’ll have an overreaction to a vaccine. This vitamin is great because it’s inexpensive, simple, and easy to test for. If you’re going to get vaccinated, check your vitamin D levels with a blood test first. The data shows that 80% of the people who passed away from COVID were deficient in vitamin D. 

     

    Cod Liver Oil 

    Cod Liver Oil is the original vitamin D supplement. This powerful oil contains both vitamin A and D, and it is also a wonderful source of omega-3 fish oil. 

    Anything you can do for inflammation management before you get a vaccine is helpful. Before you take a vaccine, fish oil is another nutrient you should be rich in because it reduces inflammation. 

    While other omega-3 supplements are still beneficial, cod liver oil has the immune support there naturally.
