Mark and Sherry talk about Superfoods to Supercharge your fall. Cranberries have a lot of health benefits, they help protect against bladder infections in women. The compounds that are in cranberries actually change the structure of the ecoli bacteria, it actually morphs the bacteria so it can't stick on the bladder wall. The best way to get the most out of cranberries it to take a supplement. Pure cranberry juice is almost impossible to drink because its so tart and therefore a lot of sugar or sweetener needs to be added to make it drinkable. Taking a cranberry supplement is a better way to avoid all the sugar. Sugar can affect the immune system and cause inflammation so it's important to not take in extra sugar while trying to get the health benefits of cranberries.

Sherry Torkos, a Holistic Pharmacist, joins Mark Alyn to talk about natural medicine. Sherry was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in the 80's when she was a teenager. Im the 80's no one really knew what Celiac Disease even was, Sherry was misdiagnosed for years before doctors discovered what was really wrong with her. Once she was diagnosed the next issue was doctors didn't really even know how to treat Celiac Disease. Sherry found that eating gluten was actually damaging her the wall of her intestines and she started developing system-wide nutritional issues such as rashes, night vision loss, hair, nails, anemia etc... this was resolved once she changed her diet. She got on a gluten-free diet and began taking supplements. This whole experience as a teenager is what propelled her into the world of pharmaceuticals and eventually towards a holistic approach through supplements and diet.

Sherry graduated from Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science in 1992 and has since moved to the holistic side of pharmaceuticals. Sherry Torkos is the author of more than a dozen books.
