This episode really made me want to get the GI Test done! I was disappointed that my last Naturopath didn’t even suggest ruling out any parasitic infections before she had me go on a very rigorous anti-candida diet. Does anyone know a Toronto Naturopathic Clinic that knows how to treat parasitic infections and can order the GI Test for patients?
Hello!
I have been listening to your podcast for about a year now and I just want to say thank you for bringing such diverse information to the table. I have healed myself through diet/herbal and lifestyle changes after 20 years of multiple illness/disease. Anthony Williams, Medical Medium, is someone I have been non stop studying for the last year. Anthony brings information to that isn’t out there yet. Such as the fact that our bodies do not attack themselves… autoimmune disease is not real, it’s not the issue, it’s a virus. There is so much valuable information that I feel you would both appreciate and find intriguing, especially Marnie with the Hashimoto’s. Hundred of thousands of people are healing their “auto-immune” because of this man. But, there is also so much information on the relation of gut health/parasites, etc. that ties right into thyroid, celiac, etc. I just had to share after listening to this podcast because it’s so crucial to get the message out.
Thank you!

Does anyone have thoughts or experiences with the small portable saunas? I live in a small apartment with my two daughters so getting a nice big one is not feasible for me at this time.
Wow. this episode was SO mind blowing and am definitely considering in investing in one or two or more of these lab tests! This is why I listen to you guys! You guys have such great questions and your guests are incredible. Congrats on 200!!!!
