Tonight, on The Other Side of Medicine we are going to explore the miraculous healing properties of plants, as well as the body’s capacity to heal itself. Join Dr. Krystosik and his guest Dr. Deanna Minich, author, researcher and educator in the wonderful world of functional medicine. Medications can undoubtedly save lives, but they are often overprescribed, with the powerful healing properties of plants frequently overlooked. This isn’t an accident—it’s part of a system heavily influenced by big pharmaceutical companies, which shape medical school treatment protocols to focus on pharmaceuticals over natural remedies. The truth is, food and plants offer some of the most effective and sustainable forms of medicine, addressing the root causes of illness rather than merely masking symptoms. We need to reconsider our approach to healthcare, emphasizing lifestyle and natural medicine to achieve lasting wellness without over-reliance on drugs.
