The Dec. 20th episode of The Wellness Connection is one you DON’T want to miss! Our featured guest, speaking to us from Panama, is Dr. H. Lee Cowden, MD, an expert in the treatment of a variety of chronic illnesses through integrative medicine. He’ll share his compelling story of how he has been able to help countless patients recover their health, frequently from so-called “hopeless” conditions, using the tools of integrative medicine. And our health freedom guest is one of the original “Nader’s Raiders,” attorney and advocate Jim Turner, who will discuss the potentially far reaching ramifications of the recent blockbuster court ruling against the Monsanto product Round Up. Add our usual segments: the supplement of the week; the Burning Question; and the drug-induced nutrient depletion report, and this episode stacks up as one of our very best. So join us at 2 pm CST, Thursday, Dec. 20th, or anytime via podcast, on The Wellness Connection!
