Dr. Malerba is a distinguished practitioner, educator and leader in the field of holistic medicine for more than 20 years. His book “Green Medicine” challenges the assumptions of general health care with regard to the allopathic biochemical approach to healthcare. The approaches of orthodox allopathic medicine and alternative paradigms of healing are compared and contrasted throughout the book and some of this is discussed in the interview. Dr Malerba shares some case histories to highlight the value of other medical paradigms. Dr Malerba’s work clearly helps to establish the role that non allopathic therapies could and should be playing in the general health care of the population.

Not only do these fundraiser premiums offer a real critique of current cancer care but they propose both in principle and thru the examples of people who have successfully checked cancer a plant based diet focus as the main approach to healing their cancer problem. The DVD critiques the current methodology of statistical sharing with respect to cancer survival and chemotherapy. It becomes clear that in many instances people are being misinformed. The connection between cancer and animal protein is also established. The Rave Diet Book offers over two hundred plant based recipes to address cancer and overcome a number of chronic diseases. This was the highest earning premium for WBAI’s May fundraiser as of May 26th, 2009.

Dr Kokayi’s guests Mitchell Rabin and Isabelle Benarous share with the listening audience the science and art of Total Biology and Bioreprogramming. The method of Bioreprogramming contains powerful tools to undo personal and ancestral programs at a subconscious level, with acute precision, in order to create lasting solutions and healing of unresolved mental stress at the heart of pathological conditions in the body. As Mitchell Rabin points out the approach to total biology is like “Louis Hayes on steroids”.

The subject of mental health is approached from the standpoint of the Four Pole Model of mechanism, biochemistry, energetics and spirit as the blueprint for understanding all diseases, diagnostic tools and therapy. The spirit/consciousness component of disease and therapy is highlighted with a look at how techniques like cognitive therapy and biofeedback can help people break out of states of mind that are causing and perpetuating disease states whether the resulting problem is called hypertension or anxiety.

Dr Kellerman describes the role that excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters play in helping us to keep our emotional and behavioral balance. His lab is now able to legally operate in NY and most major medical insurances are accepted. Patients desiring to get off of psychotropic medication can have their progress monitored with this test whereupon custom blends of amino acid formulations can be taken to restore balance to the nervous system. Dr Kokayi has performed over one hundred of these tests which he has used to assist him in the treatment of such problems as anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, and obsessive compulsive disorder.
