06/20/21 • 62 min

An informative discussion with Jeff Chilton on the medicinal properties of mushrooms for optimal health, preventative medicine and much more!!! Transcript here Bio: Jeff Chilton, raised in Pacific Northwest, studied ethno-mycology at the University of Washington in the late sixties. In 1973 he started work on a commercial mushroom farm in Olympia, Washington. During the next 10 years he became the production manager, responsible for the cultivation of over 2 million pounds of Agaricus mushrooms per year. He was also involved in the research and development of shiitake, oyster and enoki mushrooms which resulted in the earliest U.S. fresh shiitake sales in 1978. In the late seventies Jeff was a founder of Mycomedia, which held 4 mushroom conferences in the Pacific Northwest. These educational conferences brought together educators and experts in mushroom identification, ethno-mycology, and mushroom cultivation. During this period Jeff co-authored the highly acclaimed book, The Mushroom Cultivator, which was published in 1983. In the 1980’s he operated a mushroom spawn business and in 1989 he started Nammex, a business that introduced medicinal mushrooms to the U.S. nutritional supplement industry. Jeff traveled extensively in China during the 1990’s, attending conferences and visiting research facilities and mushroom farms. In 1997 he organized the first organic mushroom production seminar in China. A founding member of the World Society for Mushroom Biology and Mushroom Products in 1994 and a Member of the International Society for Mushroom Science, Mr Chilton’s company was the first to offer a complete line of Certified Organic mushroom extracts to the US nutritional supplement industry. Nammex extracts are used by many supplement companies and are noted for their high quality based on scientific analysis of the active compounds. Topics discussed:

A mind blowing and wide ranging conversation with Dr Vas Shah on Quantum Biology, red light therapy, artificial light, sunlight, Electromagnetic frequencies, deuterium, mitochondria and much more... Transcript here Bio: I help Entrepreneurs and Executives get healthy and stay healthy - giving you the tools needed to maintain your edge and take control of your health, naturally. Pharmacology based medicine isn't working. It's an outdated and obsolete paradigm. Quantum Biology applies the principles in Quantum Physics to Human Biology representing the new Frontier for Science. Quantum Biology allows us to understand ourselves not just from the cellular but even deeper - from the sub-atomic level and from here we can reverse engineer the disease process. Your genes are NOT your destiny. The science of epigenetics proves that your environment is the biggest predictor of health outcomes - that puts YOU back in the driving seat. Not making any progress with the medical professions? Then say hello and take a Quantum Leap ...to your health. Topics discussed:
