Anatara Medicine: Recent Episodes
Ahvie Herskowitz
As one of the most comprehensive treatment centers in Northern California, we treat the most difficult chronic health conditions, using an integrative approach. And we want to share information with you on chronic condition solutions, current trends, myths, and much more.
We are excited to share a recent podcast with Dr. Joseph Mercola, a natural health advocate, colleague, and best-selling author, interviewing Dr. Ahvie Herskowitz for his broad insights on key drivers of chronic disease, longevity, and the relationship our cells and mitochondria have on our ever-increasing challenges to our health.
In this enlightening episode, Dr. Herskowitz discusses how today’s world is overwhelming our ability to compensate for various toxicities and lack of whole food nutrition, and how these factors are significantly affecting our cellular health, microbiome and gut health, fundamentals to many chronic diseases, such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, chronic fatigue syndromes and autoimmune disorders.
Join us on this insightful journey in learning the hidden drivers behind chronic disease, how to recognize “nuisance symptoms” that may be linked to more serious diagnoses, and the important role comprehensive testing plays in our health and longevity.
Anatara Medicine Podcast - S02E01 - Cutting-Edge Labs and Treatments for Early Cancer Detection with Ben Greenfield and Dr. Ahvie Herskowitz.
Dr. Herskowitz, Ben Greenfield and Dr. Tierney discussing re-setting our nervous system – hydrodissection for Stellate Ganglion Blocks and C1 (cervical spine injections of level C-one)
Ben Greenfield and Dr. Ahvie Herskowitz taking a deep dive into EBOO, Biohacking and Longevity. This is Part 1 of episode 7.
In this podcast episode, Dr. Mansour interviews Cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Joseph Zwischenberger “Zwisch,” who is a key member of the team at Verthermia. Dr. Zwisch and Dr. Mansour discuss the novel and FDA-approved innovative technique called HEATT® (Hyperthermic Extracorporeal Applied Tumor Therapy) — used for end-stage/terminal cancer.
Join Dr. Zwisch and Dr. Mansour as they further discuss the clinical parameters, applications, indications, and contraindications of this pioneering technique, harnessing the power of heat as a hormesis stressor to modulate immune function in the setting of cancer. Similar to EBOO (extracorporeal blood ozonation and oxygenation), HEATT® is an exciting and promising modality that may also have future applications for modulating dysregulated immune function in light of viral infections as well as complex chronic infectious diseases like Lyme, Bartonella, Babesia and more within the MSIDs picture (Multiple Systemic Infectious Disease Syndrome).
Dr. Mansour interviews Dr. Ginger Nash ND, Naturopathic Doctor an expert in lymphatic and glymphatic drainage therapies, homeopathy and Low Dose Immunotherapy (LDI). Learn how drainage is foundational to achieving health and often necessary to improving response to more high-impact treatments like ozone or IV nutrient therapy. Opening up drainage pathways/organs of elimination (kidney, lungs, GI, skin) as a priority becomes especially critical in the context of chronic complex infectious diseases like Lyme, Bartonella, Babesia, Chronic Viral/Post-viral syndromes, multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), MAST cell activation syndrome or Mold/Biotoxin/Mycotoxin illness.
In this episode, Dr. Herskowitz and guest Dr. Paul Anderson discuss the current state of COVID infections in the U.S. They describe the various forms and related complications of LONG COVID, including inflammation, metabolism and hormone function, heart function (sudden death), dysrhythmias, myocarditis, blood coagulation, neurological function.
Dr. Herskowitz and Dr. Anderson identify how LONG COVID is associated with autoimmunity and chronic reactivated viral infections like Epstein Barr Virus. And how exposure to other toxins such as heavy metals, mold, Lyme, and other viral co-infections may play a role in the persistence of symptoms or increase susceptibility to vaccine injury. They discuss how the LONG COVID syndrome informs us about aging, inflammation, and mitochondrial function fundamentals.
Dr. Mansour talks with world-renown musculoskeletal ultrasound expert Dr. Shawn Tierny DC, RMSK on the clinical benefits of an ultrasound-guided approach to treating trauma/PTSD (Stellate Gangliond Block) as well as upper cervical pain and inflammation potentially caused by viruses, mold/mycotoxin illness, long haulers syndrome or chronic infections like Lyme/Bartonella/Babesia. See how upper cervical inflammation of a wide array of nerves are initimately related to dysautonomia that can develop from these chronic infections or toxins and inflamed lymph nodes/blocked drainage causing dizziness, erratic blood pressure, heart rate or temperature shifts in the body.
Dr. Mansour and Dr. Talib talk about integrative medicine and how it’s used to treat complex chronic illness (i.e. MSIDS / Multiple systemic infectious disease syndrome caused by various pathogens like Lyme/Bartonella/Mold/Viral infections). They discuss hot topics like ozone, NAD+ therapy, methylene blue and IV nutrient therapy and pros and cons of doing some of these trending treatments. Response to treatment is not a one-size-fits-all approach and must be personalized as it often depends on disease state, toxic body burden (mold, heavy metals, solvents, pesticides) and how that affects your cellular and mitochondrial health.
In Part 2 of Episode 1, Dr. Herskowitz and Dr. Talib discuss anti-aging, overall good health, and treating COVID (including Long COVID and its effects). Unfortunately, many people have suffered long-term effects from contracting COVID. However, there are ways to counter these effects and lead normal lives again.
In this first episode (part 1) of the Anatara Medicine Podcast, Dr. Herskowitz talks with Dr. Nigma Talib about the history of Anatara Medicine and the mission and vision behind what led Dr. Herskowitz to open this clinic. Dr. Herskowitz and Dr. Talib discuss anti-aging, chronic disease, COVID, and the health of our society.
