Dangers Modern Medicine with Dr. Robert Pearl -------------------- How much would you spend to feel healthy and energized?

I’m not in any way qualified to offer solutions to this medical-industrial complex, but my guest on this week’s show is. Meet Dr. Robert Pearl, medical doctor and former HMO executive.
