So you're against chemotherapy? Yeah, I'm not for it, no, because basically it is toxic. So what's the difference between your natural medicine and Western medicine culture? Western medicine, you come to see a doctor, you have a headache. They're going to treat the headache. They give you an aspirin. The way I approach this, okay, you have a headache. Yeah, we treat that headache, but why do you have it? Then we learn that our water's bad. Well, it depends where you get your water source.

As long as the water's not hungry, because anytime you have water that's distilled, it has no minerals. So therefore, it becomes hungry. So it takes the nutrients out of your body. And you drink it. So distilled water's bad for you? Yeah, you don't drink it. Wow. All right, welcome to the Digital Social Hour. I'm your host, Sean Kelly.

I'm here with my co-host, Wayne Lewis. What up, what up? And our guest today, Dr. Issels. How are we doing? Hey, what are you doing? Good, man. Good to be here. Just played in the poker tournament yeah good lucky

you got some game yeah you've been playing for what like three hours yeah about it you made it far man yeah man it's probably the fifth time i play poker wow you did well i'd love to uh for you to tell everyone what you do i'm a naturopathic doctor i use natural therapies to treat disease process, cancer, chronic fatigue, allergies, colds, long COVID, things like that. What's long COVID? Basically, COVID is when people have the COVID virus and they get COVID. And after a period of time, they start feeling sick, weakened, fatigue, clotting issues. And that means a breakdown of the body system function what about the residual like the granted you might have that might be it but like

because i know someone who's suffering from like post-covid is what they're called yeah it's long covet yeah that's the same thing it's been like a year though what can i up to up to freedom you know up to two years it's basically side side effects of the COVID virus are still present. But how can a sickness have a side effect? What do you mean? A lot of side effects. How can a sickness have a... More so, that's in medication, right?

Well, no. Look at side effects. Look at the common cold. Runny nose, right? It's a side effect of the cold. I got you. Okay, okay. Or those things are the side effects.

I got you. Basically, what the disease causes. got you. Okay, okay. Or those things are the side effects. I got you. Basically, the disease causes. So Wayne has terrible allergies. What advice would you recommend him? What type of, you know, when are your allergies? Are they mostly in April, spring? Yeah, I kind of, so right now I have a regimen where I blow my nose, obviously. Direct air in my nose activates

um different places so i'll be kind of cautious on traveling right like i miss out on a lot of different events just because i don't want to be miserable while i'm there right so i'm just kind of cautious on like traveling and stuff like that because my nasal cavity is like closed they don't just like you know people have flare-ups and they sneeze right i can't breathe at all there's no like air in or air out it's just like just your nose or also the also your throat as well it's mostly the nose or is it yeah it's mostly here it's mostly here so you know stick it kind of doing antibiotics right steroids and they always recommend surgery yes i mean do you have polyps what is that basically growths in the in in the side in the sinus which kind of block the airflow like a little you know

it's almost like a little wart inside you know inside nasal passages which can cause okay so would that be a flare-up though would you want to experience that like i don't know if basically that's something you have chronic it'll be constant constant. No, no, I don't have it. Okay. When do you have a flare-up? Man, it varies. It's like, put it like this. When I don't have one, I'm excited. Cool. Okay.

So often. Yeah. So, you know, a lot of things, stress can cause a flare-up. Wine. I just, wine. Because it has histamine in it. Sulfates. That's crazy.

You didn't even know that. I didn't know that. Wine has a histamine. That's a thing called, it's a product. Can I mention products here? Yeah. One's called Dehist. It's very effective for allergies. Another thing that's good for allergies would be NAC,

nasal cysteine. What that does, it fins the mucus, it reduces swelling. Another thing is by taking bicarbonate. Take some soda water. Baking soda, mix it up in water and drink it just when you have a reaction to it. It slows it down quite a bit.

What about when you're not having flare-ups? What's the preventative measure? When I'm having a good day, what should I do day in and day out to keep having good days? Reduce the stress. Don't drink the wine. Don't eat any junk food like any type of sausages, hot dogs, anything which has sulfates in it.

Reduce that. But stress is a big one. And secondly, another thing is that there's a big connection between allergies and digestion. If you have a bad digestive tract, you'd be likely to be allergic to other things foods can do it too okay and you can have runny nose from foods wow like you said the you know the wine gets you wine gets me and i found that out because um um the doctor asked me he said how often do you drink wine i'm like no i like i buy wine it's not refrigerator he said well that could be the cause of it i'm like i'm allergic to wine he said no it has a histamine in it lo and behold i looked no, it has a histamine in it. Lo and behold, I looked it up.

Wine has a histamine in it. So what that does is there's an antihistamine and then there's a histamine. So there's a counter reaction that your body has to it. So it creates allergies. So you have to take a Claritin before drinking wine. Interesting. You know, the one thing, you drink the wine. And if you know, when you go, it travels down your esophagus and your stomach, and if you have a good barrier function in your gut, that would

not cause an issue for you. But if you have a bad barrier function, you know, the idea is like having, like you have three different barriers. You have the mucous membranes, you have the skin, and GI tract. All these are barriers that keeps bad things out of your body. If those barriers are, you know, weakened, things will enter your body and cause an allergic response to it. So to really fix that issue is by actually fixing the barrier functions. And the things to do that would be, number one,

using digestive enzymes, using fish oils, and a good multivitamin and help you digest the drug. You said vitamin D? No, fish oils. Multivitamin. Multivitamin, yes. I take fish oils daily. Omega-3, right? How many milligrams do you take?

I don't know how many milligrams. It's two of the bigs. Are you buying yours from a normal store? Amazon. I want to know where to get the actual good vitamins at, not the generic stuff that they sell. You probably have to go to Western Nordic is very good. I'm not sure you can get it at Amazon,

but you looked at Western Nordic. Western Nordic? Yeah, they have a very good fish oil. Okay. Another thing is a good place to buy would be Whole Foods as well. Whole Foods? Okay. And we have it. So what's the difference between your natural medicine and Western medicine culture?

Well, basically, our approach is different. When you have Western medicine, you come to see a doctor, you have a headache. They're going to treat the headache. Okay, you have a headache, let's be giving you an aspirin. The way I approach is, okay, you have a headache. Yeah, we treat that headache, but why do you have it? What caused the headache to occur? What are the reasons? I mean mean are you highly stressed are you allergic to things are you having a bug are you having an infection i mean what's causing a headache it doesn't flare up are you dehydrated i found out part of that's your dehydration back pain and dehydration is huge wow back pain oh back pain you don't drink enough fluid serious

yeah wow i have a lot of back pain if yeah if you don't drink enough then we learned that our water is bad that we're drinking like i'm drinking a lot of water he he drinks a lot of water but then that water is not good enough we have to make it mineral water by putting himalayan salt in there right well it depends where you look at the water source i mean if you go for example you go to uh whole foods and get yourself you know some of those pH balanced waters, they're fine. As long as the water's not hungry. Because anytime you have water that's distilled, it has no nutrients in it, no minerals. So therefore, it becomes hungry.

So it takes the nutrients out of your body when you drink it. So distilled water is bad for you? Yeah, to drink it, yeah. Wow. My car only takes distilled water. Really? Yeah, my sports car, you only can put distilled water is bad for you to drink it yeah wow my car only takes this distilled water really yeah my sports car only you only can put distilled water in wow i'm gonna make it dry are you a fan of mushrooms yes i do like mushrooms uh mushrooms are really very effectively to build up the immune system so why has this been like it's this negative stigma like

taboo when it came to mushrooms it's's really, they taught us in school that it was like bad for you. Like don't take mushrooms or something. Well, they have different components which are very strong. Immune boosting helps, natural killer function helps immune response. But then you also have the magic mushrooms. Those are different. Oh, those are

different from natural. Yeah, there's actually immune mushrooms like shiitake, turkey tail. You can take those and they build immune function up and fight cancer. But then you have the psilocybin, which are the ones which kind of make you a little high. Okay, so what purpose does the psilocybin have? Well, they can relax you. Another part of what they do is actually have a really great way to calm down your nervous system. And when you take those psilocybin drugs, the mushrooms, you actually want to clear up your life because it

changes your brain chemistry in a positive manner. So it's suddenly, instead of being you know, people get high, they kind of get really tired the next day, they don't want to do anything. Right. But when you take psilocybin, you actually want to clean up the house and do something proactive. So psilocybins are good too. Yeah, they're very good.

I mean, they're not curative, but you know, of course you don't want to be high all the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So how can someone with a family history of cancer prevent getting cancer? Well, number one, the idea is what caused the cancer? In the family, is it related to genetics? Is it related to, for example,

sometimes chronic viral infection can cause cancer, like Epstein-Barr, cytomegalovirus, and it can cause an immune suppression. And once that occurs, the immune system no longer pays attention to the tissue. For example, breast cancer or colon cancer or prostate cancer doesn't pay attention to the area. So therefore, whatever goes on in that area is not going to be surveyed by the immune system. And that can cause the cancer to grow. You know, when you look at cancer patients, the most common thing I hear is, doctor, doctor, you know, I've never had a cold in 10 years.

You know, and now I have cancer. How is that possible? And the answer to that is, it's immune system. It's not that it's weak. It's unfocused. So, it doesn't pay attention where it needs to go. And those things can be caused by viral infections, can be related to

bad diet, high stress, whatever inhibits the immune function or whatever distracts the immune function is a problem. Oh, so you can still not be sick but you can have a bad immune system and still not ever get sick. Well, no, the immune system

is not bad. It's not focused on the cancer. Oh, it's not focused on the cancer. So basically, if you get exposed to the common cold, you'd be fine. But then the area where the person gets the cancer, like, for example, prostate cancer, that area is no longer surveilled properly. So therefore, it can go there, and then the body

says, it's totally fine here. I'm not worried about it. I'm not paying attention to the prostate. So whatever goes on the prostate, it's not going to be surveilled. And the immune system does take care of every other part of the body, but that doesn't take part of that area of concern. Yeah, because I'm never sick. But that's interesting that you say that, that the body can, the immune system can be focused.

Well, you know, I think about this like the armed services. You have the Navy. You got the Air Force. And you got, well, it's the Army, right? Military. You got the Army. Marine. But then you have subgroups.

The Navy has the Marines. The Navy SEALs. And then the Army has the Rangers. So each immune system has different parts to do a different job. Whatever job is not working out right can cause a problem on the line.

What about food-wise? What foods are linked to preventing cancer and what foods are linked to causing cancer? The most thing to take out to prevent cancer is using a low-carbohydrate diet. Low-carboh diet low carbohydrates a lot of greens like i said mushroom like eating mushrooms would be very beneficial uh eating organic meats that'd be beneficial um you know you could take a good multivitamin of course beets beets are very

good that's good call it beets yeah there's a guy here who makes beads juice. It's disgusting, but his wife beat stage 4 cancer. Just by drinking that? The green juices too. Green juices, carrot juice, celery. He said carrots too. Again, you got to be careful of carrots, depending on the blood type.

If you, for example, if you're an O, carrots are not going to work for you. If you're an A, they will work for you. Wow. I didn't know that. Yeah. And then what foods cause cancer?

Well, high sugar, like processed foods, you know. So unnatural foods. Correct. Anything that's processed, you know, donuts, hot dogs, things like that. I see donuts a lot. And then can you treat cancer naturally? Yeah. If you have like stage three or stage four?

We can, you can definitely treat naturally. I mean, you may not get, I mean, a cure from that, but you can treat and support the immune system. So it can have actually have a good outcome.

And then you can actually take that another step where you would take it to, for example, what we offer. We have actually cell therapy we do in Mexico. And we use the natural killer cells, dendritic cells, and T-cells.

We take them out of the patient's bloodstream, activate and re-inject them as a treatment. Wow. That really takes their own immune system and activates to fight the cancer. Wow. So you're against chemotherapy. Yeah, I'm not for it now because basically it is toxic. Yeah, you're poisoning your body, right? Right. And you take

something which is toxic and which damages your body and hope the damage is not as severe. I mean, the cancer damage should be more severe than your body's system damage. So what should me and Sean be doing daily to be proactive about preventing cancer?

What should we be drinking? How much water do you drink a day? I don't feel like I drink enough some days. Other days, I feel like I can overindulge, but I usually grab a water before I will anything else or some kind of drink that has little to no sugar.

Water is important, and I would definitely make sure you do not avoid carbohydrates. Avoid carbohydrates? Yeah, because think about carbohydrates. It's kind of like it's a very corrosive substance. And people with diabetes, what do you hear about diabetes?

You see people have circulation issues in their legs. The blood vessels get hardened. The nerves get damaged. It's inflammatory. It's like rusting, body rust. And what it also does, it causes your stress levels to go up as well. Stress is the biggest issue with immune function.

And what people don't really are not aware of is that when you eat a banana, and you take the banana and it goes right in your bloodstream and causes a sugar spike inside your body. So your body has to use insulin to get the sugar

level down. But it goes because of the very rapid spike. It took a... So it's going to be a rapid response. So the insulin's going to get kicked in. It's going to drop. So the sugar's going to drop. It says, oh my god, I have low blood sugar now. I need to have sugar. Then it goes to the adrenals. It tells the adrenals to go but someone says oh my god I have low blood sugar now I need to have sugar then he goes to the adrenals

tells the adrenals to go to the liver to make more sugar and that kind of experience is like running from the tiger and every time you eat carbohydrates in large amounts that will repeat itself

so don't eat the banana? well you don't want to eat the banana directly you want to combine the banana with some type of protein or some type of fat wow I always eat bananas directly yeah i actually like bananas bananas are good but again you actually don't eat it by itself so what so what protein should you eat a banana with well i would say probably you can do it with um almonds almonds i mean you can put some almond

butter on there um you can probably eat it, but none of its eggs wouldn't really work. But I mean, any type of protein, protein powder would work as well. As long as you, the idea is

when you take carbohydrates into your system, you want to make sure the sugar, the level doesn't spike like this. Oh, so you want to have a level of sugar going up through time

so it doesn't spike because what happens is when sugar spikes, the cell that uses most of the sugar, like the cancer cell, will use it up more effectively.

Oh, so basically eat a donut with chicken. Right. So waffle and chicken. Wow, that's a good tip because I'm going to stop eating bananas plain now. So basically,

you want to have a protein along with it. If you're going to eat a carb, make sure you eat a protein with it. So if I eat a donut, make sure I have a baked salmon in the evening. That's kind of gross.

I would recommend that. Not salmon, but donut. I think the donut he wouldn't recommend in general. The salmon and the donut would be just even. How important is eating organic? Very important. Do you only eat organic? Most of the time. You cannot do it all the time, it would be just even. How important is eating organic? Very important.

Do you only eat organic? Most of the time. You cannot do it all the time, but I try to. Wow. Because that's expensive, right? It is expensive. But think about this. If you look at the food source, I mean, whatever you take in, you will absorb.

It's like eating, like having a good feel for the car. So if you have a good source of protein, like for example organic meats are very important. You know, organic chicken. What happens with organic chickens is that those chickens are not inflammatory. Regular meats are inflammatory. But they have a combination of Omega-6, Omega-3, Omega-9 to make it less inflammatory. And you know, if you look at the eggs, when you eat eggs, if the yolks are really, you know, you look at the eggs when you eat eggs if the yolks are really you know well these days you can tell

because people can fake it but in general when the yolks are very yellow means they're really really healthy really but organic meats are important

of course you want to eat organic you know vegetables if you can because anytime you take additional pesticides into your body it can cause some damage

and then the body has to process those pesticides through the liver, it can cause some damage. And then the body has to process those pesticides through the liver, and it can cause liver stress. So organic vegetables don't use pesticides? No, they don't. But regular vegetables do? Yes, they do. Yeah.

Interesting. Well, also, pesticides and herbicides, so to make sure they don't have – I mean, they use a lot of chemicals to allow them to grow fast. So diet-wise, what is your diet? Like, are you a paleo? I actually, I'm more of a carnivore. Carnivore.

So you eat a lot of proteins. Only meat. Mostly meat, yeah. Oh, for real. And you don't have any constipation issues from that? No. Interesting. Well, again, you know, I mean, the conservation comes from the combination of different processed foods.

I mean, you know, there's a lot of times, for example, if you, one example, look at this. If you eat a, how do you eat your meat? How do you normally eat it? Medium. Have you ever tried a medium rare? Yeah, it's too bloody for me, but yeah, I've tried it. Okay, so when you, you know, usually when you eat a piece of meat, which is medium or well done, it takes a longer time to digest. Really?

Because the rarer meats have more enzymes present inside the meat. So, for example, you ever eat sushi? Yeah. When you eat sushi, how long does the food stay in your belly? After two hours, you feel like you can eat again, right? Right. Yeah, and the food is alive. Not really alive, but it's not processed.

Wow. That's interesting. So the enzymes are still present in the fish. So the digestive tract can do it much, much faster. Wow. So the more alive the food is, the easiest your body to digest.

Yeah. It's easy to assimilate. So the blood in the meat, eating bloody meat is actually a good thing. Yeah. As long as it's well taken care of. I mean, make sure you have a good source.

I mean, you can eat. I can't see myself how about eating fish to eat fish i'm gonna be a pescatarian you eat sushi yes so you eat raw fish yeah are you off this but not raw meat i can't eat it i wouldn't necessarily have to do it raw i mean but again you know i mean the best i mean the best way to tell if you eat something and it takes when you look at the picture of digestion in general, if it takes more than two hours to get rid of your belly, it's not working for you. Wow.

So if you eat a meal and you feel it in your belly two hours later, it's either, number one, you don't have enough digestive enzymes, it was over-processed, or you have a reaction to it. But it should not stay in your belly for that long. Are there natural ways to prevent Alzheimer's? Yeah.

I mean, the key thing is getting a good fatty diet. You have a lot of fatty acids because that basically helps with the neurons. And then ultimately, make sure you don't eat a lot of metals, heavy metals in your system. Right. And one other thing. And just support your nervous system function. So you believe a lot of disease is caused by diet? Most of them, I believe.

A lot of diseases, it's multifactorial. Yeah. I mean, you know, diet is important. You know, life, I mean, again, what you do for a living

is important. But there are some people, Doc, that I see have terrible lifestyles and they f***ing live until... Well, I was going to get to that. Like, they're made of, like, rock or something. i mean well i

mean there's also you also have to think genetics too you know if you have very good genetics you can live very poorly and have a long lifespan that's because your body's strong well you have a good body body has a lot of has proper processing okay and um if you don't have good genetics you live very very cleanly so if you have people, there's this diagram. It's hard to do life like this, but basically it's a triangle. And one side, the upper level of the triangle tells you, okay, this is lifestyle. Sorry, it's genetics. And then the other one is diet so if you have a

good genetic background you can have a very poor lifestyle and live a long time but if you have a very I mean very bad genetics you have to have a very good lifestyle to survive you know that's why some people in a certain age group

they get sick I know some guys that are probably younger than me and sean both and sick already and look old and they just you know i used to get sick every month because i didn't take care of my body yeah so diet definitely plays a huge huge role it's and it's easy to do i mean easy to fix i mean yeah i mean you don't have to go see a doctor so you just well yeah i didn't know i was allergic to most carbs. So I was eating that my whole life and getting sick from it. Well, most people are allergic to carbs.

Yeah. I'm allergic to fortified and enriched carbs. So what do you do for it? I just avoid it now. Yeah. You take digestive enzymes? I take a probiotic, yeah. Oh, no, digestive enzymes.

No, what is that? Basically, it's something you take to help you digest the food. Oh, okay. It gives you the flora of a healthy gut, but digestive enzymes give you digestive enzymes to break down the food properly. Got it. Yeah, I just try to avoid it completely.

That makes sense. Yeah, that's good. So why do you think obesity and disease is at an all-time high right now? Well, number one, I think the diet is huge. People have a lot of processed foods, and they have less activity, and there's a lot of processed foods and they have less activity and there's a lot of...

They actually did a study where they took a man who was morbidly obese and what they did is they fed him... You know what a lester is? Have you heard the name of lester before? Lester? No. Basically, that's an oil that's not absorbed

by this GI system. And he was morbidly obese. He was diabetic, and he had a heart condition. And what they did is, for him, they changed his lifestyle by giving him, what did they change? They gave him five elastotrips three times a day. They did it for three years. In that time frame, he lost all the weight.

He lost his diabetes. And it's a heart issue. What happened was... They did what? It's a pill, right? Basically, it's a Lester. It's basically potato chips with an oil that cannot be absorbed. It came out in the 2000s. It's basically an oil which was not absorbable.

People can eat normal potato chips, but they would not get fat. Got it. But it's not absorbable. So therefore, all the toxins which are stored in fat got absorbed in that fat in the gut from the elastra. So all of that, all that time frame, all these toxins got expelled. Wow. And after that time frame, all these, the side effects caused by these toxins reversed themselves. And the same thing that's obesity.

So basically, obesity is the way the body stores toxins. So if your body has toxic exposures, you would be more obese. Wow. And then, of course, not exercising and things like that make a difference as well. Interesting.

Question. The watermelon has a natural Viagra in it, right? I haven't heard that, no. Yeah, I've heard that. Yeah. Yeah. People drink watermelon juice and then they get.

Yeah, has a natural Viagra in it. Well, I think it's probably. I'm not sure. I have to double check. It may have the amino acid L-arginine in it, which causes vasodilation. Yeah. And that makes a difference. Yeah.

What are your thoughts on seedless fruits? Because there's a debate that they're not good for you. Well, they're genetically modified, you know. So they're usually fruit-supposed seeds. Yeah. And I believe you don't should eat foods that have been modified, genetically speaking. This is going to affect – because the tissues are different.

You may have a – you know, it may look the same, but the way it's, you know, produced, it's no longer the same type of fruit or the same type of animal. Like those grapes that taste like cotton candy. The seedless, yeah. Why would I want to eat those? And you told me about cauliflower is not a real plant. Yeah, cauliflower is no good.

Stopped eating that. So you're not a fan of GMOs? No. Well, they're very dangerous. Right. So what foods are commonly associated with GMOs? Tofu. Tofu. Yeah, that's a big one. they're very dangerous. Right. So what foods are commonly associated with GMOs? You know, tofu.

Tofu. Yeah, that's a big one. I mean, you know, a lot of times you have, you know, vegetables which are GMO

and you have to say specifically on that non-GMO for you on the bio. Wow. Doctor, it's been a pleasure. Any closing thoughts?

Just stay healthy. Stay healthy, people. Can't beat that. Right. Wayne? Yo, follow me on Instagram at The Creator. Sean Kelly, Digital Soulflower. See you guys next week.
