The $1,200 Pap Smear – Why The Medical System is Broken

Episode Summary:

In this episode, I talk about my wife's shocking medical bill for a simple, 15-minute checkup. It’s a real story showing how broken and expensive our current healthcare system is.

Here’s what happened:

• My wife had a yearly gynecological exam.
• It lasted just 15 minutes with a nurse practitioner.
• The total bill was $1,211!
• Insurance paid $981, and we still owed $229.

What’s the Catch?

• They told her upfront: “No extra questions” or it would cost more.
• She couldn't ask about any other health concerns—even if it was simple.
• That’s right—you’re only allowed one problem per visit, or you get billed extra.

Let’s do the math:

• $1,200 for 15 minutes = $4,800 per hour.
• If the nurse works 30 hours a week, that’s $144,000 billed weekly.
• That adds up to over $600,000 per month from one nurse practitioner!

Here’s the truth:

• The system isn’t built to help people with complex or chronic illness.
• They offer drugs and surgery—and very few real answers.
• And worst of all? Medical bills are the #1 cause of bankruptcy in America.

But here’s the good news:

• There is hope.
• If you're struggling with chronic health problems, there are other options.
• I help people across the world recover through natural and functional medicine.

Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Hugh!

Today, we’re talking about something really important—low white blood cell counts—and why you might be feeling tired, sick, or just not yourself. This episode is based on a powerful case study with a 54-year-old woman whose bloodwork revealed something shocking.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why your immune system may be struggling
• How mold, heavy metals, and toxins might be secretly hurting your body
• What tests you should do if you have low white blood cell counts
• What CRP means—and why it matters
• How urine testing can uncover toxic overload
• The truth about functional medicine vs. conventional medicine

Key Takeaways:

🦠 Low White Blood Cell Count = Weak Immune System

• Her count was 2.4 (way below normal)
• Normal range: 3.5 to 10.8
• Ideal range: 5 to 6.5

🔥 CRP Was Very High

• Her CRP was 18.3 (normal should be under 1)
• This means inflammation is everywhere in her body

🧪 Toxic Overload Found in Her Urine

• 10 different types of mold
• 4 heavy metals
• 10 environmental pollutants

💡 These toxins can:

• Lower your white blood cells
• Increase inflammation
• Damage your immune system over time

What Dr. Hugh recommends:

• Start with a pre-detox to support your liver and kidneys
• Use binders to help remove toxins
• Support your sleep and blood sugar levels
• Follow a step-by-step, personalized plan

\How to Save Big on Your Quicksilver Supplements

Episode Title: How I Help My Clients Save Money on the Best Supplements

In this episode, Dr. Hickman breaks down an easy way for clients to save money on high-quality supplements—especially those from Quicksilver Scientific.

You’ll learn how most clients use a service called Fullscript (kind of like Amazon, but for supplements). While Fullscript gives a nice 35% discount, there’s still a middleman markup built in.

But here’s the inside scoop:
Dr. Hickman now offers a direct-buy option from Quicksilver, cutting out that middleman and giving you even bigger savings.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

• What Fullscript is and how it works for supplement orders
• Why Quicksilver products are Dr. Hickman’s top choice for real clinical results
• How much you actually save when you go direct (spoiler: sometimes $80–$100 per order!)
• A simple flat $40 admin fee that unlocks wholesale pricing
• When to stick with Fullscript and when to go direct

The bottom line:
If you’re spending over $200 on supplements, the direct Quicksilver option could save you a lot of cash—
