About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Neil Nathan.  Neil Nathan, MD has been a Board-Certified Family Physician and is a Founding Diplomate of the American Board of Holistic Medicine.  He recently retired from clinical practice after nearly 5 decades of patient care.  From the time that he began medical school at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Medicine, it has always been his passion to try to help as many of his patients as possible.  He was never satisfied with sending patients home with the cliché: “Sorry, we just don’t have any answers for you.” For him, and for his patients, conventional medicine had many answers, but sometimes they weren’t enough.  Starting his 50-year medical career as a family physician, he delivered babies, did some minor surgery and worked in the emergency room, providing the most comprehensive care that he could.  Over the years, he found that other disciplines held the promise of providing useful answers for those patients who did not respond adequately to conventional medical care.  Slowly his practice evolved into something new, that did not really have a name, and he called it Complex Medical Problem Solving.  Over time, he found himself working mostly with those unfortunate patients who had not received a clear diagnosis from conventional medicine and were suffering with persistent and debilitating illnesses including Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic Lyme disease with its coinfections, Autism, and all varieties of Chronic Pain, amongst others.  He is the author of several popular books including his 2018 book "Toxic: Heal Your Body from Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, and Chronic Environmental Illness" and his 2021 book "Energetic Diagnosis" and 2022 update “Mold and Mycotoxins: Current Evaluation and Treatment 2022”. Key Takeaways: Why is conventional medicine not open to many tools in the energy realm? What is the ideal balance of biochemistry vs. physics in a treatment protocol? Is intuition a form of energetic diagnosis? Are empaths more likely to develop physical illnesses? What are energetic cords? What is an energy vampire?

What is the piezoelectric effect? Can energetic stagnation be felt using palpation? What can be learned about healing from interactions with plants? Can physical illnesses originate in the spiritual realm?
