In today’s episode, I have an eye-opening episode featuring Dr. Bill Rawls, a man whose personal journey through chronic illness has led him to a profound appreciation for the healing powers of nature, especially the immune-stimulating effects of adaptogens like Chinese skullcap and reishi mushroom. Dr. Rawls shares his insights into the delicate balance of our body's immune system, the often overlooked connection between stress, cellular health, and chronic disease, and how herbs play a critical role in maintaining that balance.

We'll explore the controversial ideas about the presence of intracellular bacteria in cancer cells, dive into the misconceptions surrounding chronic illnesses like Lyme disease, and confront the limitations of conventional medicine -- especially its often rigid stance against the benefits of herbal therapy. Dr. Rawls will share his expertise on why a cellular approach, rather than a purely pathogen-targeted one, could revolutionize our treatment of chronic conditions, and how adapting our diet, environment, and lifestyle can foster long-term health and resilience.

In this episode, Seth and Dr. Rawls discuss:

• Understanding Chronic Illness and Cellular Stress

• The Role of Pathogens in Chronic Illness

• Chronic Stress and its Effects on the Body

• Benefits of Herbal Therapy

• Herbs as an Alternative to Antibiotics

• Tick-Borne Illnesses and Microbe Defense Levels
