In today’s show, Mitchell holds a Roundtable to discuss the obvious marginalization of natural approaches to building immunity and hence, protection from such pathogens like Covid-19 and any of its mutations in the collective conversation, in media, in government reports, in any public forum. One gets the feeling that one is looked upon as “not with” the important dialogue which has singularly to do with pharmaceutical approaches being drugs and vaccines despite the proven harm each has done over the course of the past many decades. What happened to Mother Nature? The source of everything, as a means of building strength, vitality and immunity? What about the immensely powerful role of the harnessed human mind in catalyzing healing? Along with these two being bizarrely marginalized among what are generally rational people, it appears that the science itself that provides the clinical and scientific bases to the use of nutrition, nutritional supplementation and lifestyle choices is being marginalized itself and delimited. The idea that any of these rock-solid, sound, and frequently much-preferred approaches to health and well-being are not an active part of the public dialogue is onerous to us here at A Better World and through today’s Roundtable, will continue to reverse this trend to popularize such discussions. Guests on today’s Roundtable are from the Alliance for Natural Health (ANH):
