In the first half, Dr. Joel Wallach addressed alternative health approaches and the benefits of remedies and supplements that aid in the body's recovery from many diseases and ailments. Citing the results of a multi-state study, he's concluded that a deficiency in lithium can cause people to become mentally imbalanced, as in the case of school shooters, and violent behavior. He suggested that a hair analysis test be conducted on people wishing to purchase a gun, as well as for police officers, and those in the military to make sure they have adequate amounts of the mineral in their system. If not, he recommended they take a supplement until they reach sufficient levels. More on this topic available in his book Rare Earth: Hidden Cures.

Another mineral he spoke about was copper, which he said is responsible for the health of fibers including connective tissues. That's why if there's a deficiency in copper (or its absorption into the body) people may be prone to varicose veins, aneurysms, and hemorrhoids, he said, adding that the mineral is also crucial for liver function, hemoglobin, and color (such as for the hair and skin). Wallach was critical of statin drugs as a treatment for high cholesterol and believes the medication is associated with such conditions as Alzheimer's, menopause, and low testosterone.
