We all know that "disease" is something that happens to us outside our control. The disease is an outsider that invades our bodies, and we are helpless to resist. Excellent health, the opposite of disease, is viewed as a blessing bestowed only on a select few. It is precisely this viewpoint that sometimes keeps us from experiencing the optimal level of health.   Today, I am joined by Dr. Al Danenberg as he shares his inspirational health journey of fighting and surviving cancer after being told he only had three months to live. We also talk about the dangers of mercury tooth fillings and X-rays.   Dr. Al, as his patients call him, has been a periodontist for over four decades, during which time he developed an unprecedented approach to gum disease based on evolutionary nutrition.   He also has advanced training in evolutionary nutrition from the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health as well as The Center for Mind-Body Medicine, is a certified functional medicine practitioner by way of Functional Medicine University, and is a Primal Health Coach.   In April 2020, Dr. Al was appointed the Chair of the Periodontal Committee for the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine (IABDM) and several months later was appointed as a Member of the Scientific Advisory Board for Immunity at Daivam Wellness Center in India.   Connect with Dr. Al at: Website: https://drdanenberg.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-al-danenberg/   Resources: 5 Things That Could be Impacting Your Health Right Now https://drdanenberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/5-Things-PDF.pdf 10 Questions to Ask Your Biological Dentist  https://drdanenberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/10-Questions-to-Ask-Your-Biological-Dentist-11.21.21.pdf      What is Balanced Metabolic Coaching https://drdanenberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Balanced-Metabolic-Coaching-Program.pdf 4 Steps to a Healthy Mouth: https://drdanenberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/PDF-4-Steps-To-A-Healthy-Mouth-5.9.22.pdf Shoddy Dentistry & Mouth Splinters https://drdanenberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Shoddy-Dentistry-4.19.21.pdf  Link to my Blog about The State of Our Health As I Know It: https://drdanenberg.com/the-state-of-our-health-as-i-know-it/     Link to my Blog about a Leaky Gut and a Leaky Mouth: https://drdanenberg.com/leaky-gut-leaky-mouth-both-must-be-treated/ “Better Belly Blueprint” on Amazon to download to a Kindle App:  https://www.amazon.com/Better-Belly-Blueprint-strengthen-immune-ebook/dp/B08DX9N9RB “Is Your Gut Killing You?” on Amazon to download to a Kindle App:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F34ZVGX/  In This Episode:   [1:10] Dr. Al’s background and health journey [8:35] Your attitude affects your healing potential [12:14] How did Dr. Al get cancer?
