was Hamilton mentioning psoriasis in this podcast?

No, Hamilton didn't discuss psoriasis in this podcast. But we did touch on how gut health can impact autoimmune disorders, which is fascinating. I mean, look, our bodies are like these complex ecosystems, right? And what goes on in our gut can really affect everything else. It's all interconnected, man. Brian Callan had a nasty case of psoriasis, but he went to a specialist who just tweaked his probiotics, and boom—fixed him up! It’s wild how those little changes can make a huge difference. You gotta pay attention to your body, folks!

what about birch tar?

Birch tar, man! It's fascinating stuff. Basically, it's a sticky black substance that's extracted from the bark of birch trees. People have been using it for thousands of years for all sorts of things. It was used by ancient cultures as an adhesive, even for making arrows and tools. It's got antibacterial properties, which is pretty wild, so they also used it for wound treatment.

I mean, think about it: this is like nature's duct tape with some medicinal qualities packed in. They would heat the birch bark in a controlled way, and out comes this tar. It’s interesting how our ancestors figured all this out and utilized what was available to them in nature. It really makes you appreciate the ingenuity of those early humans! Plus, it opens up discussions about how we’ve strayed from those natural remedies today—there's a lot we can learn from that.
