We all know that our body runs on bioelectricity, but the devils and the details,

we wouldn't you like to know more about that.

Hi, this is Dr. Mercola, helping you take control of your health, and today we were joined by a true pioneer in natural medicine,

Dr Jerry Tenant who wrote the book Heeling His Voltage. And he is trained as an

ophthalmologist and has a very interesting personal story and journey on how he transitioned into natural health and his health was almost decimated by some challenges he's encountered and how he was able to turn that around.

So welcome and thank you for joining us today.

Thank you very much for having me.

So I think many of our viewers would be interested in your personal journey,

your board certified ophthalmologist and focus on treating eye diseases or had and still continue to do.

And in fact, I think what I was really intrigued with some of your work is that you can reverse the most common cause of blindness in the United States age-related

magular degeneration within a few days or at least start the process going.

So we'll definitely get into that.

So why don't we talk about your journey and how your health got debilitated?

Well, thank you very much. I always like to begin my talks with a disclaimer that I'm speaking

with my Arizona license and not my Texas medical license. And if I may take just a moment to explain why that is.

People have the mistaken idea that at several universities discovered that there's some new treatment that was or some illness that doctors can immediately start using that.

And it's simply not true.

Physicians, mainly physicians that work for pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies get together and

create rules they call standard of care.

So all physicians are required to practice what's called standard of care medicine.

So if somebody finds something that works, physicians can't do that until

enough money is paid to
