Did you know that colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in America? (Number one is lung cancer.) Dr. B. has seen some severe cases of colon cancer, often times among people younger than 50, and it is always heart breaking. On the show, Dr. B discusses why you should seriously consider a plant-based diet, why acid reflux is on the rise, the dangers of taking too many antibiotics, and why you should get a colonoscopy. This is part 1 of a 2-part interview, so tune in next week to hear more from Dr. B.!
Outline of This Great Episode
[2:50] How is a vegan diet related to weather?
[6:10] Who is Dr. B.?
[9:40] Why did Dr. B. switch to a plant-based lifestyle?
[17:55] Traditional doctors simply aren’t talking about diet or nutrition at all.
[20:45] So many doctors are afraid of saying, ‘I don’t know.’ Instead, they’d rather tell you it’s dangerous before researching the facts.
[21:45] Most doctors who treat inflammatory bowel diseases will tell you that diet has no effect on these diseases. This is wrong and science has proven this is wrong.
[22:50] So many women are afraid of eating soy products because they do not want to get breast cancer. This information is simply false.
[27:00] The average American spends 85-90% of their food budget on processed food, meat, or dairy.
[28:20] What are some of the common things Dr. B. sees in his practice?
[31:05] Why is acid reflux on the rise?
[38:50] Good guys prevail. If you have enough good bacteria, they are able to fight off the bad guys.
[40:10] Not all medicines are bad. There’s no question that the invention of antibiotics has saved lives and increased our life expectancy by 15 years. However, the regular use of antibiotics is hurting our bodies.
[42:55] The idea isn’t to obliterate the bad bacteria. The idea is to empower the good bacteria.

[53:00] Is there a difference between esophageal cancer and throat cancer?
[54:30] When should people do a colonoscopy?
[55:30] Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in America. Number one is lung cancer.
[1:11:35] Unfortunately, the prep before you get a colonoscopy can not be avoided. There just aren’t better alternatives out there right now.
