Podcast Transcription:

Stacey B.: Welcome to Dr. Hotze�s Wellness Revolution. I�m Stacey Bandfield here
with Dr. Steven Hotze, founder of the Hotze Health & Wellness Center, and as
always, if you have not downloaded our podcast yet, it is so easy to do, so you can
always go to HotzePodcast.com. That�s H-O-T-Z-E podcast.com. We have such a treat
for you today. Dr. Sherry Rogers is on the program, and I�ll let Dr. Hotze do the
formal introduction, but boy, she is a prolific writer, incredibly inspirational,
such a wealth of information, with titles like, Is Your Cardiologist Killing You?
And, Detoxify or Die. Wow. Those are some pretty strong titles. So excited to have
her on the program, Dr. Hotze.
Dr. Hotze: So glad to have each one of you joining us today. We have Dr. Sherry
Rogers. Dr. Rogers is a longtime friend of mine. I first heard her speak in 1989 or
1990 in San Antonio at the Pan American Allergy Society conference. She was talking
about, at that time, Detoxify or Die. She was talking about the environmental
health syndrome that people have because of exposure to chemical toxicities.
Dr. Rogers is a board-certified physician in the American College of Allergy,
Asthma and Immunology, board-certified in environmental medicine, and in the
American College of Nutrition. She has been board-certified as well in the American
Board of Family Practice. She�s been in solo practice in environmental medicine for
over 38 years in Syracuse, New York, where she sees patients from all over the
world.
She has written prolifically. I don�t know. At least 20 books. Dr. Rogers, how many
books have you written?
Dr. Rogers: 15, and 30 years of the newsletter monthly.
Dr. Hotze: Oh, 15. Marvelous. Dr. Rogers also writes a newsletter, but she�s
written tremendous books. How to Cure Diabetes, Is Your Cardiologist Killing You?,
The High Blood Pressure Hoax, The Cholesterol Hoax, The E.I (Environmental Illness)
Syndrome, Detoxify or Die, No More Heartburn, Pain Free in 6 Weeks, and How to Cure
Diabetes. One after another. Great books, which take an alternative and natural
approach to curing problems for which most individuals end up seeing their
conventional doctor and are prescribed a slew full of pharmaceutical drugs which,
as Dr. Rogers likes to say, make them sicker quicker. That�s really what happens.
She�s taught all over the world, hundreds and hundreds of courses, and been
published. Dr. Rogers, thank you for joining us on the program today.
Dr. Rogers: Oh, it�s my pleasure, and thank you all. I must first tell you
listeners that I�m no smarter than any other doctor. I was just sicker, and had
over 24 conditions that are considered incurable today still, got rid of all of
them, and ended up with four medical specialties as a result of it. Over the
last�well, in fact, by the way, everything that I say is totally referenced either
in our 15 books or in 30 years of the monthly newsletter, which is still ongoing to
two dozen countries, because I�m a junkie, a reference junkie, so we have the
scientific backup for everything I say.
Anyway, what happened was, several years ago we had many calamities, and we ended
up interviewing and evaluating over 30 cardiologists, and we quickly learned that
they don�t know anything. They have practice guidelines that are basically eight
categories of drugs: diuretics, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, blah blah blah,
calcium channel blockers; four procedures: ablations, stents, et cetera; and then
they�re done. They don�t cure anything. That happens to be the way the entire world
of medicine is right now, which is what got us to start writing all these books,
The Cholesterol Hoax, and Is Your Cardiologist Killing You?, for example. Because
in there, we briefly go through the blood pressure, how you can actually cure your
blood pressure, your cholesterol, your heart failure, atrial fibrillation,
cardiomyopathy; what you have to do after you�ve had a stent or bypass to prevent
yourself from dying, and the emergency medicines you should have at home, as well
as the crystal ball test. We have tests now that we know if people are going to be
dead in three weeks, three months, three years, but they�re not done in medicine
because there�s no drug for them. They�re only cured with nutrients.
Probably some of the biggest mistakes that just drive me absolutely crazy are,
number one, the statins for cholesterol, because they, with their chemistry,
guarantee Alzheimer�s, cancers, and other chronic diseases. Ablation, that�s
probably going to turn out to be�well, I think statins will turn out to be the
biggest mistake we�ve made, even bigger than the [synthetic] hormone replacement
for women that was forced down their throats for 50 years, but the ablation is
permanent destruction of heart nerve and muscle with a laser beam, or else thermal
type of killing.
Basically when I do consults in two dozen countries with our readers on the phone,
one of the things I do besides looking at 12 pages of their molecular biochemistry
of vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids, organics, et cetera, how they got
sick, what they have to do to get well, one of the things I also do is look at
their last three years of records from all of their doctors. I�ve had a phenomenal
education, because I get to see Harvard, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Johns
Hopkins, I get to see the cr�me de la cr�me. Do you think I ever saw an ablation
physician who did even a rudimentary RBC magnesium, much less RBC selenium, zinc,
et cetera? You can�t cure diddly-squat, much less atrial fibrillation or any other
arrhythmia, without first looking at the very basic elements. Then they fail to
look at the cell membrane of the nerve in the heart that is also damaged.
In fact, this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association, it cracks me
up. Every single month, they go after some kind of nutrient and try to trash it.
Again, now this week they�re trying to trash omega-3, which of course people who
recommend the fish oils are recommending often poor quality, but the biggest
mistake they make is they think a nutrient is like a drug, so they try to use it as
a solo act, and they forget that the anchor, pos acetylcholine, the salt and pepper
of the sandwich, the eight forms of vitamin E, et cetera, are all crucial in
restoring the electrophysiologic function of the heart. We�ve reversed so much
atrial fibrillation, macular degeneration, high blood pressure, heart failure. It
doesn�t matter what the disease is called, because we look for the cause and the
cure. It�s so simple every doctor can do it, but it�s not even being taught in our
medical schools, which is why we had to go�15 books and 30 years of a newsletter.
Dr. Hotze: Well, Dr. Rogers, that�s a quick, short overview of what you do and some
of the conditions you see that are mistreated by conventional medicine and how they
could be treated safely using natural approaches to health. Let�s just kind of go
down a quick list of things. First, my philosophy here at the Hotze Health &
Wellness Center is that every individual needs a doctor and a staff of
professionals who can coach them onto a path of health and wellness naturally, who
know how to do that and why they do that, so they don�t use pharmaceutical drugs,
because you can�t get well on pharmaceutical drugs, because they�re toxins.
We believe they�re toxins. I know you believe the same thing. They are toxins. It�s
not that I just believe it. It�s a fact. All pharmaceutical drugs are toxins. They
have an LD-50 lethal dose at which 50% of the people taking that dose will die.
They have to be detoxified by the liver. You only detoxify toxins, and toxins are
drugs, and drugs are poison, because toxins are poisons. Dr. Rogers, you and I
would agree on that fact, right? That all drugs are toxins?
Dr. Rogers: Absolutely. That�s how they work, by poisoning a particular pathway so
that a symptom or a blood test looks better temporarily.
Dr. Hotze: Right. Now, let me mention something to you, Sherry, and to my listening
audience. Maybe you�ve heard me say this before, but when I graduated from medical
school back in July 30 of 1976, my father had a banquet for me at the Houston Club
downtown, and over dinner he turned to me. Now, listen to this, Dr. Rogers. He
turns to me and goes, �Son?� And I said, �Yes, sir.� He said, �Don�t poison your
patients like all the other doctors do.�
Dr. Rogers: Cool!
Dr. Hotze: Now, that planted a seed that eventually after 12 years ultimately gave
birth to the Hotze Health & Wellness Center. What we believe is that the problem
lies within the cell and the production of energy by the mitochondria, the power
plants within your cells. Some cells have one, some cells have thousands, like your
heart cell. The mitochondria produce electrical energy from the nutrients you eat,
so what you eat is very important. They rely on the hormones your body makes to
activate that mitochondria, and that would of course be the thyroid hormone. It�s
the catalyst. It�s the spark plug of the mitochondria. The vitamins and minerals,
also, that help detoxify it are also used in the energy production, so your cells
produce electrical energy.
I believe that everybody, in order to be healthy, you have to be a high energy
producer. You have to have high voltage. You have to be a live wire. People that
have brown outs, they have low voltage, they have brown outs in their system, and
they have a host of health problems. Everything from fatigue, difficulty with
weight, inability to think and focus clearly. They have mood swings. They can�t
sleep. They have joint and muscle aches and pains, sluggish bowels or bowel
dysfunction, recurrent and chronic infections. They have diabetes. They have high
blood pressure. You name it. They�re sick, and they�re sick because their body
can�t produce energy, and the reason it can�t produce energy is the cells are being
poisoned.
First, all the toxins in the environment, and that would be all the petrochemicals
in what we eat, drink, breathe, and slather on your body. Ladies, please don�t
slather that stuff on your body you buy at the grocery store. Get yourself some
healthy, natural oils, healthy, natural products from nature, rather than these
petrochemical products. Why do you think they call it petroleum jelly? I wonder
what that�s made from. Petroleum jelly, Vaseline. Petroleum jelly. Anyway, stay
away from that. Also, it�s the metals in the environment. The teeth. You have the
mercury in your teeth. You�re cooking in aluminum.
Stacey B.: Fluoride.
Dr. Hotze: Yes. Well, fluoride, and you�ve got that in the water, which adversely
affects the thyroid. Then you have infections, and Dr. Rogers, I�m going to have
you talk some about that. Heart disease, and the infections like H. Pylori and
Chlamydia, et cetera, and teeth infections, and gum infections, which lead to
coronary artery disease.
Finally, the ingestion of high amounts of simple sugars and simple carbohydrates,
which create inflammatory products. The reason I�m bringing, laying this as a
background, because Dr. Rogers, I would like you to explain the true cause of
coronary artery disease. If we ask the average doctor, conventional doctor, �What
causes heart disease?� If you ask the person on the street, you and I both know
that 95% of the people would say, �Cholesterol � that�s the cause of heart
disease.� But we know that�s not the case. Dr. Rogers, what is the cause of
coronary artery disease? What causes it? What can be done to prevent it? What can
be done to arrest it and reverse it?
Dr. Rogers: The cause of it is the same as the cause for all disease. There are
only two causes for all disease. One, the nutrient levels go down, and there are a
gazillion reasons why they go down. We can go through the seven major�I call it the
seven M, because they all begin with M, the reasons that the nutrient levels go
down, and the toxicity levels go up. There�s only one reason why people die. They
run out of electrons. If I were suddenly dead in front of you, I�m the same mass of
chemicals I was, the same toxins, but like you say, Steven, the electricity stopped
flowing.
We see also an amazing thing. I bought a phase contrast dark field microscope a few
years ago, because it showed me something very fascinating. If you take
someone�s�first, I was interested in the coagulation, because when you lose the
electron coating around the red blood cells, they instead of repelling one another,
they attract one another.
Dr. Hotze: They attract.
Dr. Rogers: They clot, and you have clots, and you�re dead. The fascinating thing
is that you can take blood from the healthiest person, and leave it under the
microscope for three or four hours, and come back. It is seething with bugs. They
are all over the place, and many people, we�ve documented this in the newsletter as
well, several years back, because this is what takes us from ashes to ashes, from
dust to dust, because these are in us all the time, and it�s only when we lose our
electric charge, when we lose enough electrons, that these bugs are able to come
out and first cause cancer, et cetera, and then eventually kill us and we die of
blood clots.
In the newsletter�by the way, we�ll give any of your listeners, because they�re so
savvy, a 20% discount on any of the books that we talk about today.
Dr. Hotze: Tell us right now, first, so people can write this down, how can people
purchase your books?
Dr. Rogers: They can go to 1-800-846-6687. 1-800-846-6687, or Prestige, P-R-E-S-T-
I-G-E Publishing.com. PrestigePublishing.com. Because what we�ve shown in the
newsletter in the last few years, we�re trying to make acronyms to make learning
easier, just like you�ve been doing all these years with all the great books you�ve
written. In fact, I would love to do a whole show on your great book on the
hypothyroidism, because we have taken it above and beyond there, but you have given
it an enormous boost that will save many lives.
Anyway, we have acronyms that we have tried to make so that learning is easier.
What I like to say is, when you�re stuck with any diagnosis, it doesn�t matter if
it�s high blood pressure, cholesterol, heart failure, a-fib, cardiomegaly,
whatever, cancers, diabetes, arthritis, we don�t care what the title is.
Alzheimer�s, macular degen. We�ve reversed all of it, and so what we use first is
the acronym �THINK.� T-H-I-N-K. T is for toxins, H is for hormones, which you gave
brilliant start with with your Hypothyroidism, Health, and Happiness book. I is for
intestines. N is for nutrient deficiency, and K is for knowledge gaps, because
without reading, people are absolutely clueless of all the wonderful, amazing
things that we know about now that can improve the quality of life. I mean, we have
nutrients in the newsletter in the last few years that make human brains 12 years
younger in three months. We have tests that show if your brain, even if you feel
wonderful and you sound great, if your brain is silently deteriorating already. We
have a whole slew of crystal ball tests that�ll show whether or not you are a�then,
of course, we�ve gone into different ways to diagnose if you have a dangerous
doctor, because aside from all of these books on cardiovascular, which is the
number one killer, and diabetes, and Pain Free in Six Weeks, and so forth, look at
any specialty. Even the dentist. Just think about it. The dentist puts in an
implant and expects this foreign body to stay in your mouth, and yet he never even
checks an N-telopeptide, your RBC zinc, your essential fatty acids like�he�s
working absolutely blindly, just like all of medicine is.
Look at any surgeon. Does he look at your�I just ran into someone who died on the
operating table from a simple shoulder procedure, because when they operate on
anybody, they are so egocentric. They do not even look at your nutrient levels to
see what kind of patient, what kind of healing you�re going to have. What got you
sick in the first place that they have to do the surgery? In fact, many times, when
we have done phone consults with readers in 24 countries, before they have surgery,
a lot of times what we have ended up repairing and showing them that they were
deficient in, they no longer even needed the surgery. There is so much going on in
medicine that is utterly ignored because the drug industry pretty much owns the
FDA, and you detailed that with Marcia Angell�s book, and your thyroid book.
Dr. Hotze: Right.
Dr. Rogers: It�s so well-documented, and we�ve documented it ad nauseam, so I won�t
belabor that point, but they also control our education, and that�s why we lead the
world in chronic disease. In other words, we have the most expensive, number one
most expensive medical care on the planet earth, but we are not number one, two, or
three in health. We just went, last year, from number 37 to now number 43. 42 other
countries have better health than we do. They live longer, and it�s a heck of a lot
cheaper. We lead the world in chronic disease, because that�s what sells drugs.
Dr. Hotze: Well, listen, let me amplify on that. When doctors make a diagnosis, or
a so-called �diagnosis,� which is really a pseudo-diagnosis, now listen to me,
listeners, and they say, �You have high blood pressure.� Or, �You have diabetes.�
Or, �You have coronary artery disease.� Or, �You have kidney disorders.� Or, �You
have degenerative arthritis.� Or, �You have early Alzheimer�s, dementia.� Whatever.
When they give you a diagnosis, �You have a cardiac arrhythmia,� that is not a
diagnosis. They are simply taking a symptom, and they�re labeling it. High blood
pressure is not a diagnosis. It�s a symptom of an underlying problem. A diagnosis
tells you what�s causing the problem. The problem is high blood pressure, there�s
an underlying cause. There�s a diagnosis to that.
Commonly, tell me if you don�t find this to be the case, commonly, I find that
about 80% of our guests here at the Hotze Health & Wellness Center, when they come
in with a diagnosis of high blood pressure, they�re low in magnesium. We do RBC
magnesium levels, and they fall within the range, and you know, Dr. Rogers, I
happen to believe that the range that they use probably underrates the true low
levels of magnesium, because who�s getting an RBC magnesium but sick people? Sick
people that have low magnesium? It�s automatically going to mean that their range
is lower than somebody who has good magnesium levels. I find that I push people,
and even if it falls in the range, say it�s at 4.5, or 5, or 5.5, or 6 even, if
they�ve got symptoms of hypomagnesemia, and that can be�the common, most common is,
ladies and gentlemen, if you have cramps, for crying out loud, until proven
otherwise, you have low magnesium. If you have high blood pressure, until proven
otherwise, you have low magnesium. Maybe low potassium, but you can easily correct
that.
If somebody comes in, if you go into a doctor�s office and you have high blood
pressure, the doctor says, �You have high blood pressure. We�re going to have to
put you on medication.� �No, no. No, doctor. First, why do you think I have high
blood pressure? I haven�t had it before.� The doctor should say this. �Look, we got
a reading that was elevated. Let me have you�� Here�s what I do. �Take three deep
breaths. Blow out slowly over about 10 seconds, and let�s just think down that
blood pressure and get you down.� 25% of people that have high blood pressure have
high blood pressure because they�re nervous about being at the doctor�s office. �Go
home, and get a blood pressure cuff, and monitor it at home.� That�s what I tell
them to do. �Monitor it at home, and in the meantime, we�re going to get you on a
good eating program. We�re going to exercise. We�re going to lose weight. Then, if
worse comes to worse, you may have to be on blood pressure medication.�
But I never see it come to worse, and it is the rare person that I even leave, I�ll
leave them on blood pressure medication, if I can�t get it down for some reason,
but that�s a rare, rare case, that I�ll keep anybody. It�s always on some�it�s
never on beta blockers or ACE inhibitors. Not ACE inhibitors, but calcium channel
blockers. But the long of the short is, when a doctor gives you a diagnosis,
realize that it�s not a diagnosis. It�s a label of your symptom.
Dr. Rogers, I wrote a short little book here recently, and I have a chapter called
�Labelitis.� I say, most physicians, conventional doctors, are afflicted by this
disorder called labelitis. They want to put a label on everything that has a CPT
code, and then they�ve got a drug to give for that CPT code, that label, rather
than getting at the underlying cause of the problem. Tell me, is that correct?
Dr. Rogers: Oh, yeah. I just had a birthday last month, and-
Dr. Hotze: Happy Birthday.
Dr. Rogers: �by the way�thanks. I have no symptoms, no medicines. I play tennis
five days a week. I don�t even have gray hair yet. A lot of people think I�m 15, 20
years younger, so the fun thing-
Dr. Hotze: Dr. Rogers is a drop dead gorgeous woman.
Dr. Rogers: Well�
Dr. Hotze: The first time I saw her, I thought, I said�everybody turned and said,
�Who is that drop dead gorgeous doctor up there on that stage?�
Dr. Rogers: Yeah.
Dr. Hotze: Then she started to speak, and we went, �Oh my gosh. She could be a
movie star and she�s so bright and intelligent.�
Dr. Rogers: No, no. But the cool thing was, I got all these great cards from
readers of the newsletters and books saying, �I�m 93. I just buried my last
cardiologist.� �I�m 86. I just started a new business.� �I�m 87.� They�re all on no
medicines, and no symptoms, and that�s the way we should be.
Dr. Hotze: Yes. That�s exactly right.
Dr. Rogers: Now, you wanted to know the causes, and-
Dr. Hotze: Well, let�s go to�what about on blood pressure? Is that what you find,
that many people are low in magnesium?
Dr. Rogers: Oh, right. But also, when we do the 12 page assay of all of their
vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids, organics, et cetera, in fact, in the
book How to Cure Diabetes, it tells them how to order their own tests if their
doctor is unwilling or unknowledgeable. Usually, the two go together. But what we
find is, most people�s cell membranes, which of course are the computer program for
the entire body�
Dr. Hotze: Right. Right.
Dr. Rogers: �their cell membranes are literally starving. They are socked in with
coconut oil, arachidonic acid from a lot of meat. Some of them are way overdoing
the oleic acid, the olive oil, which now is contaminated, 80% of it. A lot of it is
80% canola oil, which is genetically modified, and loaded with glyphosate.
Dr. Hotze: Yeah. No, what they�ve done on�I hear that there�s a huge fraud market
in olive oil, that they put a little olive oil in, and they mix a bunch of other
oils in there to cut the cost.
Stacey B.: That�s terrible.
Dr. Hotze: Tell me. Go back to-
The 7 Ms � 7 Most Common Causes of Disease
Dr. Rogers: We just did an article on that in a newsletter coming up, but anyway,
what we find is, I like to use, again, little acronyms that help people. These are
the seven Ms. The seven most common things that cause a lot of people�s diseases,
and you can name any disease. Blood pressure, cholesterol, heart failure, or
whatever. The seven Ms are medications, mercury, Monsanto, mangled fats,
mycotoxins, manufactured toxins, and managed care. What we mean by that is, for
example, in terms of medications, the FDA is so ridiculously out of tune with God�s
molecular biochemistry of the body that they not only have doctors prescribing
Nexium, for example, which lowers your magnesium, which then causes high blood
pressure, heart failure, et cetera, atrial fibrillation, but they�ve made it OTC,
over the counter.
Dr. Hotze: Right.
Dr. Rogers: You don�t even need a prescription for it anymore. You can just poison
yourself if you want. Then in terms of, with one example of mercury, the high
fructose corn syrup, corn starch, corn sugar, corn flour, et cetera, the high
fructose corn syrup has enough mercury in it because of the mercury chlor alkali
process from which it is made, that it�s equivalent for the average consumption to
be equivalent to one new mercury amalgam in your mouth every day of your life.
Dr. Hotze: Wow.
Dr. Rogers: This damages a lot of chemistry.
Dr. Hotze: I�ve never read anything about�I haven�t read that at all. That�s
interesting. Go ahead.
Dr. Rogers: It�s all documented in the newsletter, �Total Wellness�.
Dr. Hotze: Okay. I just haven�t read that article. Next one�s Monsanto.
Dr. Rogers: Yup. The third one is Monsanto, because the Roundup, the metabolite of
Roundup, glyphosate, there�s a huge literature, and we�re going into it shortly in
the newsletter, how it damages the ion receptors, as just one tiny example, so that
you cannot absorb your magnesium and copper that you need for your cytochrome c
oxidase, et cetera. All your minerals are messed up. The selenium that you have to
have to convert your inactive form of thyroid, T-4, to the active form, T-3, and by
the way, again, I have seen the records from the top endocrinologists all over the
world in the top clinics. Do you think I ever saw one who looks at an RBC selenium?
Not one. They are all working blindly.
Then the mangled fats, the FDA has magically legalized lying to the public, because
they said to food manufacturers who were crying to them, �Oh, dear. Everyone�s
against trans fats, but we can�t get rid of them.� The FDA said, �Well, no problem.
What�s the lowest portion of a food that you can have 500 milligrams of trans fats?
� They say, �Well, two potato chips.� �Okay. Now you can put on your label, �No
trans fats,� if you�re under 500, for whatever portion you design.� That�s
legalized lying, and there�s a whole bunch of other examples�
Dr. Hotze: Why do you call that �mango fat�? �
Dr. Rogers: Yeah. Then the mycotoxins.
Dr. Hotze: Why do you call that �mango fat�?
Dr. Rogers: �Mangled.�
Dr. Hotze: �Mangled.�
Dr. Rogers: �Mangled.� Hydrogenated. Distorted.
Dr. Hotze: Mangled. Mangled fat.
Dr. Rogers: Bastardized. Wrecked.
Dr. Hotze: I gotcha. I gotcha.
Dr. Rogers: It�s changed biochemically so that they are extremely damaging to the
body. In fact, Harvard researchers showed years ago, decades ago, there�s no safe
level for trans fats.
Dr. Hotze: Right.
Dr. Rogers: Not a safe level anywhere. But the FDA magically decided that 500 could
warrant a label on the front of the package.
Dr. Hotze: That says you have no trans fats. Think about that, folks. It says, �No
trans fats,� don�t believe it.
Dr. Rogers: Don�t believe anything.
Dr. Hotze: Okay. What about mycotoxins?
Dr. Rogers: Well, many mycotoxins, the toxins that molds make, are more
carcinogenic, cancer causing, than many of the worst cancer causing chemicals on
the face of the planet. There are many ways that people get mycotoxins into their
bodies, from example, from various meats and foods, the animals are fed moldy
grains, et cetera. But worse than that, a lot of people are wearing toxic molds,
fungi, yeast in their gut. For example, Candida.
Dr. Hotze: Sure.
Dr. Rogers: There are over 12 different species of it. I own my own mycology lab,
and the problem is that not only does that Candida, for example, put out toxins, it
puts out one toxin called thiaminase that destroys vitamin B1 before you can absorb
it, so now you can have Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome where it mimics alcoholism and
deterioration of the brain, and it�s just because you�re wearing a yeast in your
gut.
Dr. Hotze: Mm-hmm (affirmative).
Dr. Rogers: This is all documented in our newsletters in the last five years, and
there are many other toxins associated with just this one example, because for
example when the Candida inflames the lining of the gut, then food and bacterial
antigens cross into the bloodstream. The body tries to make antibodies to protect
itself against these new antigens, and unfortunately, many of our cell antigenic
receptors-
Dr. Hotze: Are similar. Yeah.
Dr. Rogers: �work similar to these, so now you have autoimmune diseases, lupus,
multiple sclerosis, et cetera. The big problem is, now, is Hashimoto�s
encephalitis, because people think, �Oh, well I have a thyroid disease, and my
doctor is treating it.� But they don�t realize that without having him healimg the
leaky gut-
Dr. Hotze: Treat the gut. Right.
Dr. Rogers: �which we�ve gone into in the newsletter this year and next year,
without healing the leaky gut, those antibodies that you make against your thyroid
also attack the brain and deteriorate it.
Dr. Hotze: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Okay. What�s the next one, managed care?
Dr. Rogers: I mean, we could go on any one of these all day.
Dr. Hotze: I know, but we have�let�s just go over those again. We had the seven Ms.
Medication�these are the dangers. These cause most of the illnesses people-
Dr. Rogers: Medications, mercury, Monsanto, mangled fats, mycotoxins, and
manufactured toxins. For example-
Dr. Hotze: Yeah. The petrochemicals and all that. Go back when we talked about
manufactured toxins. We�re talking about the petrochemicals?
Dr. Rogers: No. That�s easy. Some of the more hidden ones that are even�for
example, look at this epidemic of thyroidism. Why is there so much? Well, we have
over a dozen�one is the fluoride in PFOAs. What is that? Teflon. Stain resistant
cookware. It�s in all of our food. It creates every cardiovascular disease, high
blood pressure, cholesterol, heart failure, atrial fib, et cetera.
Dr. Hotze: You�re talking about fluoride?
Dr. Rogers: Yeah. The fluoride. There are three fluoride molecules in Teflon. Then
the phthalates, the plasticizers that we wrote about in the bestselling book,
Detoxify or Die.
Dr. Hotze: Right.
Dr. Rogers: In fact, some medical schools and chiropractic schools, and
naturopathic, are using it now. Detoxify or Die is the only way I know to get rid
of the phthalates, get them out of the human body, and for example, it�s one of the
ways that we have reversed heart failure. As you know, when people are diagnosed
with heart failure, it�s worse than having cancer.
Dr. Hotze: Right.
Dr. Rogers: Because median survival for all cancer is six years. Median survival
for-
Dr. Hotze: Heart disease is five.
Dr. Rogers: �heart failure is five years. The thing is that, for example, when
there�s a heat wave, you would never�well, some of the first people to die are the
ones with heart failure. You would never think of putting them in a sauna, but the
far infrared sauna technology, which is also low in electromagnetic field, the one
that we have chosen in the book Detoxify or Die, at the Mayo Clinic, they put
people with heart failure in there.
Dr. Hotze: Right, in there and they did well.
Dr. Rogers: Not only did they reverse it, they lost their medications, and they
improved their condition. This has never happened in the field of medicine, and
when I see the consults from Mayo Clinic cardiologists, with my readers, I never
saw one that even mentioned a far infrared sauna. They don�t even know what
research went on in their own institution.
Dr. Hotze: In their own institution. I know. That�s-
Stacey B.: Incredible.
Dr. Rogers: It�s just incredible. It�s sort of like, well, the people with
arthritis. The book Pain Free in Six Weeks shows people how to do the nightshade-
free diet, et cetera, that many people, myself included, have reversed their
arthritis with.
Dr. Hotze: Now, the nightshade�listen. The nightshade diet, what are nightshades?
Nightshades are plants. Let me give you some examples. Eggplant, potatoes,
tomatoes. List some others, doctor.
Dr. Rogers: Well, a lot of hidden things. Lycopene, goji, lycium, modified food
starch. One Thanksgiving, folks came in and said, �My arthritis is back. I haven�t
had it for years, since I�ve been on the diet. I don�t know what happened.� I went
to the grocery store. The turkeys were injected with modified food starches, potato
starch. We�re going to see more arthritis now than we�ve ever seen before, unless
people start reading Pain Free in Six Weeks, because they�re all doing gluten-free,
and what do they substitute in the gluten-free products? Potato starch. The last
segment of those seven Ms is �managed care.�
Dr. Hotze: Right.
Dr. Rogers: Are you there?
Dr. Hotze: I�m here. Managed care. We know what that is. Managed care. These
doctors are working for insurance companies. The insurance companies have
physicians that they hire, and the physicians work for major, or are leaders in
major doctors� organizations, who have at one time or another worked for the
pharmaceutical companies, or else had research grants from the pharmaceutical
companies, about 87% of the doctors that write the clinical practice guidelines.
Well, if they work for the pharmaceutical companies, guess what the practice
guidelines inevitably are going to include? Pharmaceutical drugs. Will they include
any natural approaches? Far and few between. Maybe they have a little. Now they�re
on vitamin D, you know? They kind of figured that out, but anyway, nothing else.
These physicians that, if you�re a doctor, as an HMO or PPO doctor, your doctor
must follow the exact practice guidelines that the insurance company enforces. If
he doesn�t or she doesn�t, they will be removed and they will not make an income.
They get a capitated fee. They get paid for every person, by head, per month that
comes into that program. They�ve got to do what the insurance company says.
If they listen to this podcast and say, �Dr. Rogers made a lot of sense,� and
started reading some of her books, and said, �We�re going to get rid of this. We�re
going to start treating with magnesium instead of beta blockers, and we�re not
going to give diuretics, because it causes people to lose magnesium and raises
their pressure.� No. If they try that, they will be removed. They can�t. Your
doctor is a slave, and he�s a slave to the insurance companies. That�s how he makes
his money. He cannot challenge them without losing his income. He better have a way
to go out and�
Hotze Elite Physicians
Oh, by the way, Dr. Rogers, I don�t know whether you know this or not, but I have
established a new entity called Hotze Elite Physicians that we�re going to train
doctors across the country that are currently doing insurance-based practice that
know that they�re losing everything. Their patients aren�t getting well. Their fees
are being discounted, and they�re getting slowly paid, and they�re spending all
this time with people, only five or seven minutes. They�re spending all this time
all day with 60 guests, and they�re meeting themselves coming and going.
We�re going to train them in our medical protocols and our business protocols so
they can transition out of insurance-based medicine to a cash-based medical
practice, and when they get their patients healthy and well, as you�ve found out,
people will gladly compensate you for getting them well. My coach, I have a
business coach, Sherry, and my business coach says, �General �� He calls me
General. �Whenever problems are solved, money exchanges hands, and so your guests,
your patients �� If you�re a doctor listening to this and you�re doing conventional
medicine and want to get out of it, when you get your patients healthy and well,
they will love you. They will pay you handsomely in cash for your services and
you�ll have more time, more money, and more freedom to enjoy your life. That�s what
it�s about. Help the patients get well, and guess what? Then you can get well, both
mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially, you can get yourself well.
That�s what I�ve done and that�s what Dr. Rogers has done, and other doctors across
the country who have opted out of Medicare, opted out of any insurance plans. I
never did an HMO, PPO, and I bet 10 to 1 you didn�t either, did you, doc?
Dr. Rogers: No. I didn�t. The other bad thing about managed care, though, one of
the worst things is that whatever disease you have, then you are relegated to a
particular specialist who knows nothing about the other specialties. For example,
if you have Alzheimer�s, and you go to a neurologist, if he doesn�t know the
molecular biochemistry of the essential fatty acids, and I�ve never seen one who
looks at it, then how is he going to cure your Alzheimer�s? How�s he going to
reverse it?
Likewise, if you have heart failure, or high cholesterol, or high blood pressure,
cardiomyopathy, atrial fib, and you have a gut full of Candida, then you�re going
to stay in an inflammatory mode for the rest of your life until he heals your gut.
But guess what? The cardiologist doesn�t know anything about healing the gut. He
sends you to the gastroenterologist, and he doesn�t know anything about Candida,
because-
Dr. Hotze: He puts you on Nexium. He�ll put you on Nexium. He�ll put you on Nexium,
which causes loss of magnesium. You get worse heart disease. Well, doctor, listen,
we could go on and on, and for those of you that are listening, I know this has to
spark your interest in learning more. One of the key things you need to do is
increase your knowledge. You can learn more than your physician ever knew. You can
learn more about a specific problem. There�s tons of stuff on the internet you can
go, but I would recommend that you get Dr. Sherry Rogers�, R-O-G-E-R-S, book, and
you can go, you can either call her phone number, 800-846-6687, that�s 800-846-
6687. Alternatively, might be the easiest thing to do, go to, on the internet,
Prestige, P-R-E-S-T-I-G-E, Publishing.com. Prestige Publishing. You can buy any one
or all of her books, and you can sign up for her newsletter, which I have, and I
highly recommend that you do that.
You can educate yourself, and guess what? You�ll have then more time, more money,
and more freedom to enjoy your life, because you�re not going to be spending all
your money on co-pays, going to doctors, getting sicker quicker. You�re going to be
feeling healthy and well, and you�re going to be running businesses in your 70s and
in your 80s, and you�re going to be enjoying life, your kids, grandkids, and great
grandkids. That�s what we want for you, and the only way to do that is by doing
natural approaches to health. You cannot poison yourself to good health. That�s the
underlying premise that modern medicine has. They believe, and they don�t even know
they say this, they believe you can poison yourself to good health. Why do I say
that? Because they give you toxins. They give you drugs, and I don�t believe�I
don�t need a double blind study anywhere to figure out you can�t poison yourself to
good health. There�s just no way to do it. It�s crazy. It just doesn�t make any
sense. Common sense tells you that.
You let those doctors and those people that want to believe that they can poison
themselves to good health go on their merry way and it won�t be merry much longer,
I�ll assure you that. But for those of you that want health and wellness, learn
about it. You can give us a call here at Hotze Health & Wellness Center.
Stacey B.: Absolutely. I mean, if you have been struggling with chronic issues,
there is a path. There is a way. You can call us at 281-698-8698 for a
complimentary wellness consultation. Also, a copy of Dr. Hotze�s book,
Hypothyroidism, Health & Happiness that we�ve been talking about during the
program. That�s 281-698-8698.
We�re so glad that you joined us here today at Dr. Hotze�s Wellness Revolution.
Dr. Hotze: Sherry, thank you. Sherry Rogers, Dr. Sherry Rogers, thank you for
joining us today and thank you for the marvelous work that you�ve dedicated
yourself to helping people learn how to get on a path of health and wellness
naturally. Thank you for that. God bless you. You�ve helped me, and through me,
thousands of patients.
Dr. Rogers: Well, it�s my pleasure. I just aim to make people too smart to fail.
Stacey B.: That�s right.
Dr. Hotze: God bless you, Dr. Rogers.
Stacey B.: Thank you, Dr. Rogers. God bless you all.
