Know The Cause Podcast: Recent Episodes

Doug Kaufmann

Doug Kaufmann, the host of the popular TV show, Know The Cause, he became interested in the subject of fungus as it pertains to disease while working in the area of food allergy.

Doug was a U.S. Navy Medical Corpsman attached to the 7th Marine Division in 1970. Upon coming home from Vietnam in 1971, he had strange symptoms that until the early 1980’s, he thought were related to food allergies. A research paper in 1980 entitled “Antigenically Intact Food Macromolecules Exiting The Gut Lumen” offered insight into the role of the terrain of the intestines in food allergies. As long as the intestines leaked, which is not uncommon, food allergies tend to change as the diet changed. After studying the reason that foods were able to leak through the intestines, Doug saw the role of fungus in provoking both symptoms and diseases. As it turned out, whether it was yeast in alcoholic beverages, mold by-products of medications like commonly taken antibiotics, or mere fungi like mushrooms, a link to illness, unknown to physicians, became apparent.

Medicine is a huge business and its basis is women!" So I open this podcast questioning the need for medical testing and intervention. I try to avoid doctors offices, but I understand that some men do not. Women, on the other hand, are told that they must go to doctors often. And so it is that Kyle Drew and I, who have absolutely no right to be talking about women's health issues, take on this sensitive subject.

Just so you know, I believe early cancer screenings are responsible for far too much over diagnosis and over treating. A few years ago, the Chief Medical Officer of the Cancer Society, Otis Brawley, MD, stated, "We don't want people to panic, but I'm admitting that American medicine has overpraised when it comes to screening, The advantages of screening have been exaggerated.

There are two things that I believe make competent physicians; being sick and recovering without pharmaceutical drugs, or learning about fungal mycotoxins and the role they play in most diseases that we patients suffer from.

In this podcast, we have two physicians who represent both. I've known Dr Trowbridge for decades and met Dr Mitchell perhaps 15 years ago....tthese are longtime friends and I dare to say, they are trendsetters because they know what I learned after returning home form the Vietnam War...I was sick and totally without hope because no doctor understood and no drug would enable my recovery.

I was on my own. Thanks to Dr Mitchell and Dr Trowbridge, we are no longer on our own. Listen, and you may find clues that can liberate you from the shackles of running from doctor to doctor and taking pill after pill.

"Fueling our bodies properly..." In the field of nutrition, I almost hate those 4 consecutive words today, because everyone's definition of exactly how to do that differs so much. I have long respected the science that Dr Ann Louise Gittleman teaches us. In this podcast, she we learn how easy it is to start the new year off right when it comes to getting and feeling better. The proper fuel extends mileage, so let's consider that as it applies to eating well and living healthier longer! Welcome to Dr. Anne Louise Gittleman! Listen and learn!

To diet, or not to diet, THAT is the question! 45 years ago, I began my career and have learned quite a bit about food. For example, I can now say without hesitation that food can by your best friend or your worst enemy, depending upon which food you choose. The problem is, our healers generally don't have a clue about what helps us heal, unless it's scribbled on a prescription pad. In my humbled opinion, that spells disaster. My dear friend, Kyle Drew assesses different popular diets as they relate to great health....or not. Kyle has a degree in chemistry and a passion for nutrition. Together, these makes him well equipped to gauge which diet might help you recover from illness or simply stay in tip-top shape.

Topics 1. Kaufmann diet is his go to diet. +Kyle tests the Ketogenic diet. 2. Where did the Ketogenic diet came from? 3. Ketone diet feeds tumor growth in cancer. Papers stated to prove it. 4. Kyle’s Psoriasis 5. Mediterranean diet ( Olive oil, fish,) 6. Paleo, OK? 7. Ketogenic diet is a couple of months too much? 8. Breathalyzer test

Is exercise absolutely necessary? In a college course I took 45 years ago called Anatomy and Physiology, the professor had one last question on our final exams. Mind you, this is a 12 month course, so ever correct answer counted. He asked, "summarize what you learned this year about the human body in two words only." My answer was typical for a 22 year old know-it-all. I said, "it's cool!" The correct answer was "it moves!"

If exercise is defined as simply moving, then every living human exercises daily. But to enjoy good health, I've learned that regular exercise, beyond simply moving, is essential. There isn't a diet or supplement that will negate the need for exercise, nor does exercise negate the need for proper diet and supplementation, but together I have found that the three of these (diet, exercise and supplements) often negate the need for medication. And that is reason enough for me to bring you this important podcast...listen, learn and enjoy as Kyle Drew and I talk about exercise!

Frank Jordan is Know The Cause’s longest advertiser and we thank him for his loyalty! His base product is called Beta-Glucan. Listen and learn that Beta Glucan is actually a "biological defense modifier." That means that it enables our immune response to do what it should be doing! We all have immune responses, but many of our immune responses are either low or excessively high.

As your host, I have taken Frank’s Beta Glucan (NSC) for many, many years and am always amazed at how little I worry about the flu each year. It seems as though it has defended my immune system against what most of us worry about! Why do they call it the “common cold?” Because we simply accept that we’re all going to have it and that it is common to have a cold! But I have not one for a very long time.

MedImmune, a division of Astra Zeneca, makes a product called FluMist Quadrivalent. According to medimmune.com, FluMist Quadrivalent is a vaccine that is sprayed into the nose to help protect against influenza. It can be used in children, adolescents, and adults ages 2 through 49. Seems the only problem is, it doesn’t work!

OK, I’m all for stopping the shots. But this FluMist was only 3% effective. Astra Zeneca made many millions of dollars and FluMist didn’t work. A coin flip is 47% more accurate!

Frank Jordan joins me to discuss this means of preventing the flu. He states that preventing the flu is made better by building strong immunity. He then talks about this fascinating formula: Prebiotics+probiotics=Synbiotics. When Frank talks, I listen and learn....now, it's your turn!

I'll never forget my interview with Dr. Ed Melman and Dawn Strom a few years ago on the damage that breast implants can sometimes cause. Afterward that interview, I wished that there was a safer way for women who wanted breast implants to accomplish getting them without such horrific side effects. When I first spoke to Todd K Malan, MD, a few weeks ago, I knew that like Edward Melmed, MD, I needed to get you this important information also. Imagine combining the therapeutic benefits of stem cells with breast implants! Of course stem cell therapy offers far more advantages than just breast augmentation and once stem cells are infused back into the body, so many seemingly non-related health issues begin responding favorably. Is this coincidence or good science? Listen now to Dr Malan, of Phoenix, Arizona and then you decide!

Dennis Hooper, MD, PhD a pathologist, from North Texas, joins us today on the KTC podcast. He earned a Masters and PhD degree in Microbiology before earning his MD degree.

He shares some interesting information about pathology reports and biopsy samples, or as Dr. Hooper would call them "blocks".

Dr Dennis Hooper With Doug Kaufmann

He is the medical director of Real Time Lab in Richardson, Texas, a lab that specializes in fungus and mycotoxin testing. Mycotoxins are harmful fungal poisons that are emitted from a variety of fungi species like Candida or Aspergillus.

He expounds on how we've known that our food supply is commonly contaminated, with these potentially dangerous mycotoxins, yet the medical community isn't proactively screening for them.

Dr. Dennis Hooper explains the process of getting these tests done, and what you need to know about getting these tests done on your blood or tissues. Dr. Hooper also addresses the important question "Is my medical insurance going to cover this type of test?".

I've known of Dr. Dennis and his work and products for some time, but only in the past year have I gotten to know him better. The longer I do know him, the more I like him and what he has been able to accomplish for those of us who live far away from his office. I want to keep you, my loyal viewers and listeners, apprised of what he (and his incredible company, Microbe Balance) is doing! Last week, I asked Dr. Dennis if he could give me a few minutes, via Skype, from his busy medical practice in Atlanta, GA and update us on his products and why they are able to help so many people. I'm a Microbe Balance "CitriDrops Nasal Spray" fan for life-if you wake in each morning stuffy, you will be too! Listen and learn! Doug

Mukesh Saraiya, MD, is board certified in both internal and pulmonary medicine.

For several years he has helped many patients suffering from COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and other lung problems by injecting them with their own immature stem cells after carefully harvesting them from their bone marrow and fat cells. The very fact that we all have these “reserve” stem cells that can not only travel to where they are needed after injection, but actually adapt and grow and renew tissues (thereby often stopping symptoms) where they are not working properly, absolutely amazes me. But that, and the fact that he is a brilliant and very kind man, is only my secondary reason for welcoming Dr Saraiya to this KTC podcast!

You know that I believe that many of our diseases are due to bugs-fungus specifically. Our immune systems are supposed to eradicate bugs in our blood stream and other tissues by having our white blood cells “phagocytizing” them (gobbling them up like the old arcade game Pacman). As I have reported, certain disease causing fungi outsmart phagocytosis by fooling it in favor of the fungus’s continuous growth throughout our body. That seems bizarre, but it happens nonetheless. What if the white blood cells ability to gobble up fungus was renewed?

Some medical reports indicate that stem cells tend to enhance our natural phagocytosis, so not only do they correct what might be wrong with the patient (arthritis, lung problems, etc…), but in doing so, they might begin enabling our white blood cells to gobble up the very disease causing fungus that might have caused the problem. Maybe, just maybe, that is how stem cell injections help so many!

Joining me on this podcast with Dr Saraiya is Kyle Drew. Kyle and I have been impressed with the ability of stem cells to fix what ails us for many years, so I invited him to join us in this fascinating discussion. Now, open your ear canals and your mind…

Do you believe that if you eat correctly and pray regularly you can recover from illness? YES? Then you've landed at the perfect podcast because my guest today, Erin Porter did just that to recover from decades of bad health!

To say that I enjoyed meeting Erin is an understatement, because some of you have pointed me to her incredible website, www.eatpraygetwell.com, in which she talks about finding Know The Cause on TV and the discovery was life changing. In fact, so many wonderful people dedicate segments of their social media platforms or websites to the fungus link and give me credit for their health restoration and that makes me feel so good! Thank you Erin and thank you all!

Please listen carefully. No little girl should be relegated to a lifetime of serious health problems, including an estimated 100+ rounds of antibiotics (docs, if 3 rounds don't do the trick, stop thinking "bacteria!") and 4 sinus surgeries, yet thousands are living this way because our ENT doctors never read the 1999 landmark study from The Mayo Clinic that implicated fungus in over 90% of all chronic sinus infections....NOT BACTERIA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Erin found her way out and shares this interesting story with us......

I only get to see Dr Greg Emerson and Emma once annually, so I like to toss the conversation around a bit. After all, these two live on many acres in Brisbane, Australia and 80% of everything they eat is raised and grown on their own farm!

Naturally, toward the end of this podcast, we address how Emma takes to making friends with one of their food-supply animals and then having to sacrifice it to eat!

She is smooth in her response-much more so than I would be! Nobody eats Charlie chicken! One thing that I love addressing with Dr Emerson is the fact that mold and fungus play such a large role in him medical practice, whereas before we met, it was of minimal importance.

Sit back, relax and enjoy as you learn of yet another physician (and Emma!) who "sees the light" of mold related diseases!

It used to be very rare that a physician would contact me and desire more information on "the fungus link" to disease. Today, it is not rare at all for physicians to contact me and want to learn more. One such physician, Greg Emerson, MD of Brisbane, Australia, knew inherently that fungus played a role in his patients ill health, but my website, with all of the scientific papers on it (thanks, Dr. Curtis!!!) convinced him to contact me. That was a few years ago and he has visited our TV production facility in TX annually to update us on what he continues to learn from his studies abroad! In this podcast, Dr Emerson delves into a recent visit to Sedona, AZ and the contact he made there. He then teaches us about something that I was honestly ignorant of until this conversation; brown fat! Funny, but these podcasts open my eyes incredibly! Learn with me now as Dr Emerson shares some great information regarding your heath!

Allopathic vs. Alternative Medicine

In medicine, an "allopath" desires to eliminate illness by using pharmaceutical drugs and/or surgery, whereas an alternative doctor seeks to better understand the "etiology (cause)" of the illness. Family Practitioner, Lynn Jennings, MD, and I discuss the differences between the two types of medical practitioners. She has practiced medicine both ways and prefers one over the other. Relax and listing to a most interesting doctor discuss her preference when it comes to patient care.

Auto-Immune Disorders - Interview with Dr. Lynn Jennings

Clearly our brightest and best do not know the cause of any of the 90 diagnosable "auto-immune" disorders. Blaming it on an "over active immune system," in which, they tell us, cells literally fight each other is as good of a definition as we may ever get. This lack of knowledge is just so sad, but when you consider that "the cause" of any disease takes a back seat to "the treatment" of any disease in America, you'll better understand where our scientists place disease priorities; finding new pharmaceutical drugs.

If you're suffering from an auto-immune disorder, you'll find this conversation with board certified family doctor Lynn Jennings, MD fascinating! Might a changed lifestyle ameliorate some of your misery? Listen and learn.....and pass it along to your loved ones! - Doug Kaufmann -

Kyle Drew sits in for Doug, and visits with Dr Scott Fogle of Life Extension. How to optimize hormone function in the body. Can you have ideal hormone levels without hormone replacement therapy? How has hormone replacement therapy changed from the early days of estrogen therapy for women, and bodybuilder-levels of testosterone for men? Can you be at "low-normal" levels of any hormone, but still need to bump it up to something more optimal? What happens when cortisol levels are too high or too low? Role of DHEA in hormone production, and the difference between regular DHEA and the 7-Keto form.

A billboard in Phoenix, AZ read, "The Number One Place, For the Number Two Problem!"

And so I was introduced to Scott, the President of a constipation relief company called "PoopDoc." He had the attention of every person who drove past that billboard and he had my attention, too! Scott helped develop a type of Magnesium that, in a word......"works" where others often fail those who have constipation problems. Couple this Magnesium with a tremendous fiber with great herbs in it and you have the complete package that PoopDoc promotes. I can attest that it works so well, because I have referred so many friend to it. I wish I understood it better, but it is helping so many that I could care less if I can explain how it does what it does! Scott understand it and that's enough for me. He and I chatted "off the air" and I promised him that I would air the audio portion of this pod cast on my website, in hopes that those of you who are not constipated would refer family and friend who are! Enjoy!

A few years ago, every author in America became jealous simultaneously. Not only had my friend, Dr. Ann Louise Gittleman written a best selling book, entitled FAT FLUSH, but it had sold over one-million copies and had hit the NY Times bestseller list quickly! I was amazed that people didn't know how important fat was in their diets, and I was proud of Dr Gittleman for capitalizing on that fact.

Well, she is back with another book that is destined to become another bestseller! EAT FAT, LOSE WEIGHT is a diametric title when it comes to the medical community, who for decades taught us that fat made us fat! "Nonsense", says Dr. Gittleman, weight loss is probable if you eat the right fats as itemized in this important book! Dr. Gittleman visited our studio last week and she was kind enough to take an extra 20 minutes after taping TV shows, to dispel the "whole grain-weight loss" myth that has prevailed for far too long! You'll love this PodCast and your waistline will, too!

Statin drugs, before they were used to lower your cholesterol levels, were used to kill fungus! Even more interesting is the fact that some research shows that lowering cholesterol isn’t the only thing that statin drugs can do-they might also grow bone. But I caution you that taking statin drugs is not, in my humbled opinion, the safest way to go, if you have bone loss. Statins have become the darlings of Wall Street, but be careful because the last darling of Wall Street may have injured more women than they helped; hormone replacement therapy, or HRT.

The point of this podcast is to familiarize you with the bone loss-fungus link. Antifungal supplements and lifestyle changes may be in order, including diet and exercise, when brittle bones or bone loss is diagnosed.

I can’t think of more perfect human harbors of yeast than in our ENT. Yes, the ears, nose and throats provide warm mucous membrane blankets for yeast to plant and grow in. I worked with a prominent ENT doctor in Los Angeles for five years after coming home from Vietnam.

How I wish Dr Gottschalk and I knew then what Dr. Dennis and I know today about these vulnerable human ENT tissues and their propensity to harbor and grow yeast and fungi.

Join me now as Don Dennis, MD, from Atlanta, GA and I talk not only about ear, nose and throat problems caused by yeast, but more importantly, about resolving these nasty infections without drugs. You’ll love this information!

Today, when asked “the cause” of cancer, scientists will often say, “genetic mutations!” Given the fact that genetic mutations do cause cancer, the 2nd most important question then becomes, “what causes genetic mutations?”

As a general answer, poisons cause them; cigarettes, alcohol, radiation among the many known carcinogens according to scientists. Although widely published, however, few scientists know that certain fungi make poisonous and carcinogenic byproducts called “mycotoxins” that also cause genetic mutations. And the fungus that makes some of these mycotoxins, tend to hang out in our food supply and in products like cotton (be extremely careful of Tampons-check for mold before using).

Listen as I teach more about how seemingly harmless fungi that grows in our grain and peanut supply, and just might just be linked to so many human cancers.

It isn't what your doctor knows about fungus, but what he/she doesn't know that should concern us all! When a physician hears you say that you have a "fungal disease," they immediately think you may be dying! Systemic fungal diseases (bloodstream), unlike local fungal diseases (ringworm or nail fungus) can be life threatening and they know that, if they have studied tropical microbiology. In third world countries, people die of fungal diseases commonly. Given a strong immune system and the proper diagnosis and treatment, even systemic fungal conditions are treatable. Listen in!

Registered Nurse, Jenny Hrbachek has her world change in 2009 when a breast lump is diagnosed as cancer. She was told that this lump had taken many years to develop and questioned why it wasn't found years ago. Jenny introduces listeners to simple tests that can detect cancer years before a lump develops and recommends that listeners become proactive when they are well, rather than waiting to hear that they have cancer.

Doug Kaufmann, the host of the popular TV show, Know The Cause, he became interested in the subject of fungus as it pertains to disease while working in the area of food allergy.

Doug was a U.S. Navy Medical Corpsman attached to the 7th Marine Division in 1970. Upon coming home from Vietnam in 1971, he had strange symptoms that until the early 1980’s, he thought were related to food allergies. A research paper in 1980 entitled “Antigenically Intact Food Macromolecules Exiting The Gut Lumen” offered insight into the role of the terrain of the intestines in food allergies. As long as the intestines leaked, which is not uncommon, food allergies tend to change as the diet changed. After studying the reason that foods were able to leak through the intestines, Doug saw the role of fungus in provoking both symptoms and diseases. As it turned out, whether it was yeast in alcoholic beverages, mold by-products of medications like commonly taken antibiotics, or mere fungi like mushrooms, a link to illness, unknown to physicians, became apparent.

Doug has authored 9 books on the subject of fungus and ill health and each tells of the diets he developed (Phase One-Phase Two-Life Phase) that actually serve to starve the body of parasitic fungi, while simultaneously providing proper nutrition for those following it. His books expound on the many safe nutritional supplements that have antifungal properties as well as antifungal medications familiar to physicians.

His media career was launched in the late 1980’s when he began a local radio show in Dallas, TX that became syndicated a few years later. Radio gave way to television in 1998, when he launched the TV show “Your Health.” The name changed in 2004 to “Know The Cause.” Thanks to wonderful sponsorship from nutritional and health companies that Doug trusts, the show has become the most widely distributed show of its kind. Whether viewing it on DISH or DirecTV satellites, independent TV stations throughout America or on networks in the nations largest markets including NY, LA, Chicago, Philadelphia or Dallas, the production team always finds ways to enlighten and educate viewers of the wide range of health problems associated with fungi.
