listening so let's get started with this week's latest program

to help you and your family take control of your health.

Welcome everyone, Dr. Mercola, helping you take control of your health and today we are joined by a

renowned mitochondrial researcher, a professor in biology, Himalayal Patel, who is out at the University of California in San Diego, otherwise known as UCSD, and he has, we share similar beliefs with respect to the cause of most every disease known to man which is a decrease in your body's ability to create sufficient cellular energy to run the processes you require to activate appropriate cellular repair and

regeneration. So that is the question of the day is what caught and

there's a lot of people who believe this but many who don't I would like to get your take as to how many people disagree with this

Supposition and it is a supposition. I don't think there's really solid scientific proof, but if there is you want you're certainly going to let me know and

And we can dive from there, but it's, I think that's the really question we'll dive into that later

is what you believe that some of those causes are.

And I think that's the core, but the key point here folks is that it's so crucial to
