Dr. T. Colin Campbell: The China Study and the Coronavirus
Have we known the roadmap to treat the COVID-19 virus all along? Dr. T. Colin Campbell joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to discuss how his groundbreaking research for The China Study decades ago may have provided a key to a better prognosis for today’s coronavirus pandemic. Dr. Campbell is confident that there is enough evidence to make a strong hypothesis about the steps people should be taking to combat the virus. And is it a coincidence that the United States has more total cases of COVID-19 than any other country in the world while also staking claim to one of the highest obesity rates? Dr. Campbell and Chuck also ponder how the standard American diet might be fueling the pandemic in the U.S. Plus, filmmaker Nelson Campbell, founder of Plant Pure Nation, follows his father on the show to discuss the efforts he and his team are making to help during the pandemic, including a global program designed to encourage people to change their diet. His goal is to plant the seeds of knowledge worldwide to help people grow into healthier lives. “The diet that will prevent and reverse chronic disease, it stands to reason that it would also help with infectious disease. Health is health is health no matter what you’re talking about with respect to your body,” Nelson Campbell said. — — — Plant Pure Communities Global Jumpstart: https://bit.ly/3czWI00 — — — Chuck Carroll Twitter: @ChuckCarrollWLC IG: @ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: https://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — Physicians Committee Twitter: @PCRM IG: @PhysiciansCommittee Facebook: https://wghtloss.cc/PCRMFacebook — — — Barnard Medical Center Telemedicine Schedule Appointment: https://bit.ly/BMCtelemed — — — COVID-19 Resources PCRM: https://bit.ly/PCRMcovid CDC: https://bit.ly/33DXgyF WHO: https://bit.ly/33BSeTo COVID-19 Global Map: https://bit.ly/CVID19map Share the Show Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or many other podcast providers.

Coronavirus Vaccine: Finding Immunity Faster Without Animals
The key to developing a successful coronavirus vaccine likely lies in those who have already survived the virus. That is the opinion of Dr. John Pippin who joins , “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room™ podcast to talk about fast-tracked efforts to develop a vaccine without testing on animals. Dr. Pippin explains how bypassing usually mandatory animal testing may lead to a viable vaccine becoming available years sooner than it otherwise would be. Moving directly to human trials would also save countless animal lives and save developers millions of dollars in expenses. Potentially those savings would lead to lower costs for the medication. With such promise, could the future of all drug testing become animal free? That is what Chuck and Dr. Pippin will explore. Plus, in this time when we’re all hyperaware of our health we revisit an age-old question: can an apple a day actually keep the doctor away?

Plus, Dr. Kahleova presents research that dates back to the deadly 1918 pandemic caused by the H1N1 virus.
