Hello, welcome to the show. I'm your host Evan Brand. Thanks for joining me. If you're new here, or if you're not new, and you don't know who I am, what I do. I'm a functional medicine practitioner, certified functional medicine practitioner. Some people call themselves functional medicine practitioners and they're not really. Like, they just call themselves that or they say they're functional and they're not like some naturopaths can do that

or some integrative doctors can say they're functional but there's a huge difference i just got done

doing an interview with keith norris for an event he has coming up keith is the guy who created

paleo fx and i made that big distinction because a lot of people go to naturopaths or they say they're

functional or an integrative doctor and they're not because they still prescribe antibiotics

they still prescribe other pharmaceuticals that's not functional functional is figuring out the

root cause of the issue even if I could prescribe drugs I cannot with my credentials but even

if I could prescribe pharmaceuticals, I would not do it.

So anyway, that's the deal there. Now, we're going to get into an episode today with the surgeon

who did my cavitation procedure, Dr. Stewart Nunnily, who is a dentist who practices in Texas.

And I forgot to mention something in this interview, so let me mention it now.

You probably don't need and probably should not get a cone beam.

A cone beam is a type of x-ray.

It's like a 3D imaging x-ray that they can do on you, which looks into various dimensions,

so to speak, that a normal x-ray cannot do.

However, this does submit you to radiation.

Now, the normal background day-to-day radiation, everyone gets exposed to this living on planet earth. Now, the radiation from a cone beam, which we're going to discuss what that is and why to

use it, it's about 14 days worth of normal background radiation.

So it's not a terrible amount. It's not like a full body CT scan or anything crazy. It is some

radiation, not a huge amount. But I wasted it. I got radiated for no reason because his office

didn't end up using my cone beam. They used an older panoramic x-ray that worked

just as good that I had from several years before. So I technically did not need to damage my cells
