Medicinal Mushrooms
By Jacobus Hollewijn
with Jerry Angelini
The title of this show was "Gesundheit! With Jacobus"; a weekly 3-hour live radio program (with call-ins) about health, healing, and healthy lifestyles that ran from July of 2000 through September of 2019. Jacobus hosted 914 editions, mostly with guests discussing their profession, research, books they had written, or just to explain specific health concepts more in-depth.
For a combination of reasons the show came to an end. There will be a continuation with new shows called "Health In Focus with Jacobus"
Here you'll find a selection of timeless topics that could use another listen.
