  Ep. 187 - Parasites, The New Boogeyman

  Sep 30, 20262h 10m

  A lot of health advice starts with a monster story: a “disease” is attacking you, and the only hope is finding the right weapon. We push back hard on that framework and replace it with something more grounded and less terrifying: the body is adapting to stay in balance, and symptoms are often the price of that adaptation. When we understand homeostasis, toxicity, deficiency, excess, and chronic inflammation, we stop chasing labels and start building real health. We also take on modern miracle claims head-on, including the idea that one hack like drinking hydrogen peroxide can “cure” serious illness. Instead, we talk metabolic reality: mitochondrial function, fermentation metabolism, and why chronically fermenting cells reflect a deeper loss of efficient energy production. From there, the conversation turns practical and personal through listener questions, from chronic eye inflammation to uterine wall thickening and confusing pathology reports. You’ll also hear detailed guidance on lifestyle medicine basics that actually move the needle: cleansing strategies like fasting or a vegetable juice cleanse, nutrient-dense plant foods, and how eating windows and sleep timing support the body’s cleanup and repair cycles. We discuss antiparasitic and antifungal tools with clear cautions about liver support and why they’re never a standalone answer. We wrap with rapid-fire Q and A on sardines, sourcing supplements, blood pressure, IBS and dysbiosis after chemo, COPD mucus, and dental hygiene like oil pulling and finding a biological dentist. If this perspective helps you breathe a little easier, subscribe to the show, share it with someone who feels stuck in fear, and leave a review so more people can find a calmer, more practical path back to health.

  Ep. 186 - Six To Eight Months To Live, And Why That Is A Guess

  Sep 25, 20262h 10m

  A listener writes in after being told they had stage four lung cancer and six to eight months to live. Dr. Lodi answers with arithmetic. Picture a doctor, he says, telling a hundred patients they will be dead by a certain date unless they do as he says: eighty agree, twenty walk out, and from that point the twenty are "lost to followup", so that doctor has no data on the ones who refused. "You're wearing a white coat, they call it a medical opinion," he says. "You're not wearing a white coat, they call it a lie." He calls a prognosis a prediction, and a prediction a guess. The longest block of the show stays with that letter. He takes the four stage system apart and argues that by the time one colony of what he calls chronically fermenting cells is found, others are already elsewhere, held back by signals from the dominant one, and a biopsy or a removal lifts that brake. He allows one exception, for surgery on a mass blocking a vital function or one that is extremely painful; on a biopsy he allows none. He files the big cancer centers together: "they're all Toyota dealers". The letter goes on to immunotherapy, Addison's disease and steroid replacement, and its line about needing meat for protein opens the protein argument, where his position is that we need not protein but nine essential amino acids, which he says the largest animals get from plants. As he puts it, "It takes seven lions to bring one elephant down." The show also covers itching and burning at night on a parasite protocol, whether AI will replace doctors, which he thinks it will while calling it "artificial idiots", a listener switched from pork insulin to a synthetic version who says they feel terrible, chronic lymphocytic leukemia and methylene blue, Crohn's, a tumor entangled in the brachial plexus in a listener with breast cancer, and non-alcoholic fatty liver. He ends on language, and on what he says he is after: restoring balance and health.

  Ep. 185 - Diets Run In Families, Not Diseases

  Sep 20, 20261h 58m

  Dr. Lodi breaks off the questions to ask the live chat to define the word disease, and reads the answers back: "an attack of a foreign entity in your body", a genetic mutation. He takes each apart and says nobody can define it, because there is no thing there. High blood pressure and insulin resistance, on his account, are adaptations to how a person lives, and what runs in families, he says, is the diet, not the disease. The question that leads into it is forty years of Lyme arthritis and painful joints. He separates acute inflammation, which he says is healing by another name, from chronic inflammation, which he calls a response to an assault that does not stop. On his account "we're all pretty much inflamed", and what he blames is cooking: heat, he says, turns food into something the body no longer recognizes. He cites Luigi Fontana's work on long term raw vegan eaters whose C reactive protein came back almost undetectable. He asks for a long juice cleanse, colon hydrotherapy, movement, and boswellia, ginger and curcumin. Two questions get sent for emergency care. A five year old vomiting for two days: the danger he names is dehydration, and if it has not resolved by now he says an emergency room or urgent care center for fluids. Asked if a severe breast lymphedema with infection warrants the emergency room, he says yes. The rest of the written questions: a lymphoma that followed anti rejection medicine, a listener wanting off a rheumatoid arthritis drug, and a couple who suspect parasites behind bloating and low iron, where he goes into stomach acid. The live chat stretch moves quickly, through a cavity in a wisdom tooth, lowering blood pressure, where he puts fasting first and adds "the best meal you ever had is the one you didn't eat", how he says B17 works and why he says the oral form can be fatal, and cryotherapy against radiofrequency ablation. He ends by agreeing with a commenter that fixing the gut fixes everything, then a worry that eating well only feeds parasites. "They don't want kale," he says. "We are dinner."

  Ep. 184 - His Answer On Iodine And DMSO For A Tumor Near The Skin

  Sep 15, 20261h 53m

  A listener with a breast tumor sitting just under the skin has already tried ozonated olive oil salve and calendula creams and wants to know what else can go on it. Dr. Lodi's answer, the longest of the show by a wide margin, is Lugol's liquid iodine with DMSO to carry it in. He takes Lugol's apart into potassium iodide and molecular iodine, two iodine atoms bound together, and says the molecular iodine does the work, by the same mechanism that made the iodine a mother once dabbed on a cut worth using. He argues it also shifts estrogen toward metabolites that do not stimulate growth. He says the DMSO goes on clean skin to carry the iodine in, and he warns it can irritate the skin enough that daily use may not be possible. He is plain about the limit: it only applies where a growth is near the surface and "it's reachable", not in the spleen or pancreas. He raises radiofrequency ablation, cryotherapy and histotripsy, then says none of it is the answer on its own, because if the toxins and the immune imbalance are left alone the growth comes back. Underneath it is his view of healing: "healing is not a transitive verb. It's not something you do. It's something that happens." The other questions cover a pituitary macroadenoma found on a scan taken for hearing loss in both ears, where he says an adenoma does not spread but that surgery is almost always the route; an inflamed bladder where a urine test found no bacteria, which he says is most likely the antibiotic already taken, and where he asks for a long juice cleanse; prostate cancer that has already spread, where he goes to bone; a rash on the neck, where he wants the real aloe vera plant, not a store product; two small benign liver lesions; autism and iodine; hot flashes on bioidentical hormones; and osteoporosis of the spine. Partway through, the camera and microphone fail and he sends everyone to Instagram while he restarts. He runs out of time on honey, dates and fruit and holds it to the following week. Covered in this episode Iodine and DMSO on a tumor near the skin Pituitary macroadenoma and hearing loss in both ears An inflamed bladder where no bacteria were found Prostate cancer that has already spread A major rash on the neck and fresh aloe vera Whether skin growths are the same as any other Whether a breast tumor is really hormone driven Two small benign liver lesions Autism and iodine Hot flashes on bioidentical hormones Osteoporosis of the spine Send us Fan Mail Join Dr. Lodi's Inner Circle membership and unlock exclusive access to webinars, healthy recipes, e-books, educational videos, live Zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Lodi, plus fresh content every month.

  Ep. 183 - Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, And The Names That Explain Nothing

  Sep 10, 20261h 52m

  A listener diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis five months ago writes in, and Dr. Lodi stops on the verb. "We might as well change the word to nailed," he says. A diagnosis, on his account, tells you neither how you got the problem nor how to get rid of it; its value belongs to the diagnoser, because the name lets them "stick you onto the sales algorithm." The longest block of the show goes to a listener asking about lupus. "Lupus looks like a wolf," he says, arguing it records only a red rash someone once saw. What is there instead, he argues, is not an immune system attacking its owner but one out of balance, tilted toward TH2, away from TH1. He asks whether the antibodies on a blood test caused the condition or followed it, and calls them a response, a downstream epiphenomenon. His evidence is a case of his own: a woman with a badly overactive thyroid he says he gave iodine, not the usual drugs. He says her symptoms cleared, her immune markers stayed abnormal for years, and he kept adjusting the iodine until those normalized too, his proof they followed the problem. He wants cleansing and medicinal mushrooms, and says emergencies are different: a broken leg or sepsis is what allopathic doctors are for. Before the mailbag, the chat asks whether his antiparasitic drugs are dangerous. All drugs are poisons, he says. With ivermectin and the benzimidazoles, he says, the liver clears them, so he tells people to check the liver first, and to have someone guiding them if it is already inflamed. Then a son who cannot function on antiparasitics, heart medication during a cleanse, stage four cirrhosis, and a fear that what killed a sister runs in families. Under it all: "There's only one way to get healthy, and that is by living healthy." The last question is from a listener with swollen ankles who has been fainting. Fainting could be dehydration, he says; it is the ankles that sound to him like congestive heart failure, a bad name on his account: it does not mean the heart failed. He adds it is not enough information to say. Covered in this episode Whether antiparasitic drugs are dangerous Antiparasitics and liver function A son who cannot function on antiparasitics Heart medication and a parasite cleanse Rheumatoid arthritis and what he says a diagnosis is for What he says the name lupus records Autoimmunity as a TH1 and TH2 imbalance, he says What he says medicinal mushrooms do for natural killer cells Fainting and swollen ankles Send us Fan Mail Join Dr. Lodi's Inner Circle membership and unlock exclusive access to webinars, healthy recipes, e-books, educational videos, live Zoom Q&A sessions with Dr. Lodi, plus fresh content every month.
