Aside from being a chiropractor, nutritionist and acupuncturist, Ardis is also the host of the Dr. Ardis Show, and he's prepared to bring the truth to his audiences when it comes to health.

A story that hits close to home

In this episode, he talked about how the U.S. system has failed Americans, including his father-in-law. Last February, Ardis's father-in-law was taken to hospital with a fever and a headache; however, he was told that he had the flu and had to be admitted. Within days, his health deteriorated: He developed pneumonia and then had kidney failure. Five days after he was admitted, Ardis was alerted that his father-in-law was barely conscious. He visited that night and found that the hospital was treating his father-in-law's flu infection with vancomycin, an antibiotic known to cause kidney problems. "Antibiotics only treat bacteria," he added. "My father-in-law was only diagnosed supposedly with a flu virus." In addition, the tests came back and showed that his father-in-law was negative for bacterial, viral or fungal infections. However, doctors continued to treat him with three antibiotics, according to "hospital protocol." Even his x-rays showed no signs of pneumonia. What the x-rays did show, was that the vancomycin had already caused his lungs to fill up with water, a condition known as pulmonary edema. "That's called pulmonary edema, and that's coming as a result of you shutting down his kidneys with vancomycin," Ardis said to his father-in-law's doctors. "None of this was related to the flu, or pneumonia was caused by acute renal or kidney poisoning due to vancomycin poisoning," he added.
