Is it real? And what you should do about it.-Can COVID shots, be transmitted sexually?-Somebody asked about auras without migraines-What about fungal infections, particularly ringworm?-what about an EMG study or ultrasound for a person with issues with their hips or sacroiliac joint and lower back pain?Tom closes by encouraging listeners to stay attentive to the upcoming Circle launch, keep an eye on updates about the New Biology Experience, and continue focusing on real food, careful observation, and practical ways of supporting the body.Support the showWebsites:https://drtomcowan.com/https://www.drcowansgarden.com/https://newbiologyclinic.com/https://newbiologycurriculum.com/Instagram: @TalkinTurkeywithTomFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrTomCowan/Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/CivTSuEjw6Qp/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzxdc2o0Q_XZIPwo07XCrNg
