ATP Podcast.
I learned about these guys by searching for salt in the iTunes podcast engine. Not disappointed in the slightest. When your source of information starts talking about the limitations of the TGA and other arguments by appeal to authority… you know you’re on the right track…

Immune/digestive health
I’ve been learning a lot about the treatment of parasites and Candida.
