Healthcare likes to celebrate itself. You hear the same noise on repeat: advancements, breakthroughs, modern miracles. But behind the glossy marketing and the pharmaceutical fanfare, something ugly is happening, and most people have no idea it’s even there. In the last few months, I’ve been running a new diagnostic in my clinic. It’s called the Metabolic Vulnerability Index, a test that reveals the hidden stressors your body is carrying, ones traditional medicine rarely looks for.
I’ve been in natural healthcare for over a decade, my wife 20 years. Chiropractic, nutrition, detox. We’ve seen just about everything. But what we’re seeing now? It stopped me in my tracks. I had to step back and ask myself: What are we really walking around with in our systems?
This test shows markers for inflammation, infections, yes, the parasitic kind, fungal overgrowth, viral loads, and toxicity levels that make your jaw drop. Not to mention markers for carbohydrate metabolism and malabsorption. People who "look healthy" are walking around with numbers that should send alarms ringing. And when we talk toxicity, we’re not just talking vague chemicals in the air. We’re talking mercury. Mold. Glyphosate. Heavy metals showing up like background noise in almost every case.
Let me get personal. I had mercury fillings in my mouth as a kid. Back then, it was standard. Safe, they said. Necessary, they told our parents. Eventually, I had the right side of my mouth cleaned out, after realizing how dangerous that metal was. It wasn’t pretty. Cracked teeth, pain, a healing process that nobody warns you about. For a while, I left the left side in. Truthfully, I just didn’t want to go through it again.
But a few years ago, after looking into the connection between mercury and Alzheimer’s, I couldn’t ignore it anymore. There’s too much research now. Too many studies showing mercury’s impact on the brain, the gut, the nervous system. Dr. Hal Huggins spent his life sounding the alarm on this, and they tried to silence him for it. So I went in and got the other side removed. Thank God, it was easier the second time. Still, even after years of detoxing and cleaning up my body, when I ran my own MVX test, mercury still showed up in small amounts. And if it’s still in me, after all the work I’ve done... what’s sitting in the average person?
Let’s be real: this isn’t a theoretical problem. We’re seeing fertility issues in our practice constantly. Women who can’t conceive. Men with low motility. And nobody’s asking if the fillings in their mouth are connected. Or the mold in their homes. Or the pesticides in their food. But they’re absolutely connected.
Look at multiple sclerosis. Look at Alzheimer’s. Look at Parkinson’s. Mercury damages the myelin sheath, the protective layer around your nerves. Once that’s compromised, it’s like faulty wiring in a house. Signals get lost. The lights flicker. Systems break down. And mainstream medicine throws pills at the symptoms without asking what started the fire.
And this isn’t just mercury. We’re testing for glyphosate now, check out last week’s podcast on that if you haven’t heard it. We’re also looking at water contamination, mold exposure, and parasites. Yes, parasites. Not some third-world tropical problem. I mean American families, children, adults, showing markers for parasites that are draining their systems and driving inflammation.
It’s everywhere. Tap water. Well water. Pesticides in produce. Chemical runoff. Heavy metals in cookware. Mold spores in homes that passed inspection. You start peeling back the layers, and what you see is that we’ve been quietly poisoned for decades, and nobody told us. Or maybe someone did tell us, but they were laughed off the stage.
The system won’t address this. They’ll treat your symptoms with lifelong prescriptions and procedures. But they won’t ask why your body broke down in the first place. Because if they did, they’d have to admit the whole foundation is cracked.
I don’t believe the body just breaks. I believe something gets in the way. And more often than not, that “something” is a toxic load your body can no longer manage. It gets overwhelmed. It gets confused. And it starts attacking itself, or shutting down, or misfiring. That’s not disease. That’s survival mode.
So we test. We measure. We clear out what doesn’t belong. We remove interference. And guess what? The body starts healing again.
I’ve seen it happen too many times to call it coincidence.
If you’re doing everything “right” and still feel off… if you’re eating clean, supplementing, exercising, and still dealing with fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, infertility, or mood swings, you’re not crazy. You’re toxic. You just don’t know it yet.
We need to stop pretending this is normal. We need to start removing what doesn’t belong. Mercury. Mold. Parasites. Glyphosate. Chemical exposure. All of it.
