In this episode, we host Ed Ullman, CEO of Wellness RX, who sheds light on the struggles of independent pharmacies. He proposes transforming for-profit pharmacies into nonprofit entities, focusing on community well-being and sustainable operations.

The idea for ImmuneSchein Ginger Elixirs was created from the herbal traditions my grandfather taught me in Germany as a child.

While we are spending close to 20% of our economy on health care, insurance premiums are back to double-digit increases, employee deductibles are at a record high and health outcomes remain unimpressive. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, life expectancy in the United States ranks a cold 36th among industrialized nations and many experts now agree that it will even decrease for the next generation of Americans.

We are proud to introduce to you our unique CBD oil that has been extracted by pressurized carbon dioxide (CO2) from hemp plants grown on Colorado farms. The farms do not use herbicides, pesticides or chemical fertilizers in the growing process. The extraction from the hemp plants produces a pure isolate crystal powder which is then mixed with the organic delivery carrier MCT oil (caprylic triglyceride). MCT oil is extracted from coconut and palm oil and is used as an energy booster. Each 30 ml. of our clear oil contains 1,000 mg. of pure CBD oil (33.3 mg. per 1.0 ml. dose) and the oil has been certified by an independent laboratory to contain this amount and to be free of all contaminants. As a research center, we completed a controlled study of 20 patients over a 60 day period to evaluate the success of our CBD oil.
