Now, we're going to begin the program talking about a topic that 41 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:55.079 has always confused me as to why it exists, why it occurs, and 42 00:04:55.240 --> 00:05:01.600 why we haven't done more to fix this problem. The importance of it could 43 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:10.439 not be stated in a greater fashion when you think about the divineness of the 44 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:16.000 human body, and how incredible the human body is and it's glory and its 45 00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:23.279 function, and how well the body can serve us as long as it's all 46 00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:28.360 working all the time, one hundred percent of the time. Now, there 47 00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:31.959 are certain things that interfere with the body and it can break down and get 48 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:36.639 sick, but it also has the ability to repair itself most of the time. 49 00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:46.720 I would like to start off today's show talking about tonsils, those things 50 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:51.519 in the back of your throat when you say, ah, a doctor looks 51 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:56.920 down your throat and they're looking for your tonsils when you're young, that is 52 00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:01.399 before they talk people out of them, clipped them, surgically removed them. 53 00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:12.120 Now I'll say from the outset that I don't have tonsils. My tonsils were 54 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:20.319 surgically aborted, removed when I was a child, unnecessarily like most other children's 55 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:29.319 tonsils are removed unnecessarily because when I was a child and growing up, I 56 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:32.879 grew up in an era where if a child had a sore throat or even 57 00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:41.439 pointed to their throat, it was lights out. It was time for tonsilectomy. 58 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:50.040 It was time to see the doctor and have scheduled a surgical procedure called 59 00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:54.680 atonsilectomies so you could get rid of that problem. That God had a bad 60 00:06:54.800 --> 00:07:03.600 day when he created the tonsil tissues, and so it was so prolific when 61 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:11.000 I was growing up to have your tonsils taken out that I remember speaking with 62 00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:15.800 other children that I hung out with and they look, you know, they 63 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:19.560 said, it's great, get your tonsils out. You know, it's no 64 00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:24.319 big deal. I mean, if you do, you'll be eating popsicles for 65 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:28.680 a few days, and eating pudding maybe, and other things that we couldn't 66 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:32.160 otherwise get on a regular basis. So we look forward to having those tonsils 67 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:38.600 taken out because we could get all the junk food that we ever desired in 68 00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:45.360 a lifetime in a matter of days. So some children said, bring it 69 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:48.600 because I've heard what you get in response to that, It's almost like a 70 00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:59.800 reward system. But what was not understood about tonsil ectomies is that when you 71 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:05.160 lose your tonsils, and most of the time, not all the time, 72 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:09.240 but most of the time, the majority of the time completely unnecessary. When 73 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.040 you lose your tonsils, you lose a part of your immune system, an 74 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:22.519 important part of your immune system. And that's part of the tragedy of the 75 00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.319 record that we have in the United States as it relates to tons electomies. 76 00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:35.679 Back in the sixties when I was growing up, I'm not sure what age 77 00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:41.000 I had a ton selectomy, but it was pretty early on. There were 78 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:48.080 over a million tons selectomies performed in the United states, probably a million and 79 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.879 a half. I mean, it was just I mean, doctors were making 80 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:58.000 bank. It was just as normal as the day is long to have your 81 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.559 tonsils taken out. And then you know, the light bulb somewhere along the 82 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:07.159 line came on and somebody said, you know what, we should rethink this 83 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:13.240 thing about tonsils because they're part of the immune system. And when you take 84 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.399 part of the immune system out, hey, there's going to be a complication, 85 00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:20.440 there's going to be payback, There's going to be something down the road 86 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.720 that happens that ought not happen if you had your tonsils. They are, 87 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:28.720 after all, part of your immune system. They're part of the sort of 88 00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.720 like venus fly trap, if you will, in the back of your throat, 89 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.519 to block and to stop germs from vading deeper into your system, whether 90 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:43.639 you inhale them or swallow them. And so they've battled this out within the 91 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:52.679 ranks of conventional medicine for decades. Should we take them out? Should we 92 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.519 save them? How long do we wait? How many rounds of antibiotics do 93 00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:00.240 we need to have before we decide it's not working. Let's just they come 94 00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.360 out and be done with it. As though God had a bad day with 95 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:16.000 the tonsils formation. Well, now surgeons are trying to convince people again that 96 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:26.960 more children's tonsils need to be extracted surgically removed, and in doing so we're 97 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:31.519 gonna hold be a lot better off. Did you I asked a question of 98 00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.960 you, did you lose your tonsils growing up? I? Sure did. 99 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.159 Do you think you're better off as a result of it? Or worse off? 100 00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:41.519 Or maybe your children have issues with that. If you want to comment 101 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:43.519 on that, you may do so. We're going to get into this heart 102 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:48.399 and heavy coming up.

All right now, if you are 161 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:54.799 just tuning into the show, I'm discussing the topic of tonsils and the fact 162 00:15:54.840 --> 00:16:02.639 that surgeons now again once again rising up and saying they believe that more more 163 00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:08.039 children, not less, but more children need to have their tonsils surgically removed. 164 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:15.879 Now. Tonsilectomy is one of the most common procedures in children and teens 165 00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:22.519 today, with more than five hundred and thirty thousand tonsilectomies performed each year. 166 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:26.799 That's over a half million of them performed on a yearly basis in the United 167 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:33.840 States alone. Conventional medicine doctors are conventional mds. They are now calling for 168 00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:41.039 more parents to get their children's tonsils surgically removed, to improve their sleep, 169 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:48.320 to improve their blood pressure, to cure their snoring, to reduce their risk 170 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:53.679 of heart conditions down the line, and improve overall quality of life. That's 171 00:16:53.759 --> 00:17:00.519 why they're calling for more children's tonsils to be removed. Tonsils, ladies and 172 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:07.759 gentlemen, unless you don't know this, are an important part of the human 173 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:18.160 immune system. They are, and so doctors are trying to override that to 174 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:21.839 some extent. Now they're doing they're taking tonsils out because they think it's the 175 00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:26.319 best thing to do. They believe that is the best procedure they can do 176 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:33.799 on behalf of that child who's struggling when they have swollen tonsils or infected tonsils, 177 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.279 or obstructing tonsils in the back of their throat, their soft palid area. 178 00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:42.440 They believe, truly believe that it may be the best thing on the 179 00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:48.359 behalf of They're unfortunately wrong about it most of the time. And I'm going 180 00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:52.480 to attempt to tell you why. As they said, the tonsils are part 181 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:59.000 of the immune system, the visible part of our lymphatic system. They provide 182 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:07.400 the first line of defense for germs being swallowed, pathogens and we swallow germs 183 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:14.640 all the time. Germs come into our mouth through food, water, air, 184 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:21.000 and there has to be some stopgap measures somewhere along the line so those 185 00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:26.759 germs don't evade deeper into the system as in your lungs. We have specialized 186 00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:37.559 cells in the surface of our tonsils that capture these germs, allowing elements that 187 00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:42.039 we have on board the human body called B cells and T cells, allowing 188 00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:48.400 them to attack anything that can pose a risk to human health. And because 189 00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:52.720 tonsils are part of our body's immune system, they act like lymph nodes. 190 00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:57.519 You've heard of lymph nodes, right, the filtering out of germs. That's 191 00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:02.400 what lymphodes do. They filter out that enter through the nose in the mouth 192 00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:07.319 to protect the rest of the body. That's what tonsils are about. They 193 00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:15.559 protect the body from getting infections. So when you lose those organs, those 194 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:22.519 immune system tissues, those tonsiles, you lose part of your immune system. 195 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.839 Why would we ever want to do that? Why would we want to believe 196 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:32.240 that the creator of the human body made a mistake when the tonsils were developed. 197 00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:40.000 Tonsils are necessary for providing and interfering with the germs that will want to 198 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:42.160 take us down, because they're vaiting for life just as well as we are. 199 00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:49.519 However, the tonsils have long been the featured attraction in the theater of 200 00:19:49.759 --> 00:20:00.319 needless surgery. The star is the surgeon who is on stage correcting one of 201 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:06.680 God's really major mistakes by thinking about why this human body was equipped with tonsils 202 00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:10.960 in the first place. So man is going to override the divineness of our 203 00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:15.359 creator to get rid of those tissues, knowing full well. Man knows full 204 00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:21.400 well that God made a mistake with the tonsils. And I guess your appendix 205 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:26.640 and your gallbladder and other organs that are taken out often unnecessarily, and some 206 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:32.440 of course are needed. Medical doctors are once again calling for parents. If 207 00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:36.880 you just tuning into the calling for parents to get their children's tonsils surgically removed 208 00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:42.400 in order to remove or in order to improve their sleep, quality of life 209 00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:45.960 and to reduce the risk of heart conditions down the line. That's now how 210 00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:53.000 they're pitching it. Preventive health. Just start shelling important tissue out of the 211 00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:57.200 human body when there's a issue with it. And again I want to point 212 00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:04.640 out there are tonsils that becomes so infected that and so obstructed that they do 213 00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:10.920 need to come out, but that should be a rarity, not a common 214 00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:18.960 procedure. A rarity, not a common procedure. Researchers that bring them and 215 00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:25.880 Women's Hospital and Harvard the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute found when children underwent tossil 216 00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:30.519 ectomies to remove the oval shaped pads of tissue at the back of the throat 217 00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:34.000 that doctors and everybody looks at when you say, ah, you know, 218 00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:38.200 when you take a flashlight back there or an odo the thmoscope and you look 219 00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:42.559 back in there, they're telling people that, look, we can improve their 220 00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:51.559 sleep and therefore get rid of their daytime sleepiness and their risk of heart attacks 221 00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:56.440 later down the road if we just get those nasty, gnarly unnecessary tonsils out 222 00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:00.079 of that throat area. Now, the children who underwent the procedure of tons 223 00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:06.319 select tom were also more likely to have reduced blood pressure and less likely to 224 00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:11.440 show signs of progressive disease that children who kept their tonsils hat. Now, 225 00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:18.200 it is true and infected tonsil can be very hard on the immune system, 226 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:22.200 but that doesn't mean necessarily the need to come out. We just need to 227 00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:26.799 take action and we'll get to that action because with the problem, we try 228 00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:30.839 to get to a solution here eventually, and I will. A ton selectomy 229 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:34.720 one of the most common procedures of children. When you think about the numbers 230 00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:40.839 here, more than a half million procedures performed each year. It's amazing for 231 00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:42.400 me to think about that. I wish I had my tonsils back. I 232 00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:47.440 would give anything to have my tonsils back. My parents trusted a doctor who 233 00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:51.599 said, look, okay, I'm sure this conversation went on. I was 234 00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:53.920 there, but I don't necessarily remember it, but I can imagine it. 235 00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:59.519 Your son has got bad tonsils. He was born with bad tonsils, and 236 00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:03.119 they just need to come out. God had a bad day when they were 237 00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:07.319 thought of with respect to your son, and my parents went along with it, 238 00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:11.960 believing and trusting the doctor. What my parents didn't hear was that if 239 00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:18.039 the tonsils leave, your son is going to have that'll be a weakness in 240 00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:22.079 his body the rest of his life with his throat. He's also going to 241 00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:29.039 have a higher risk of lung infections because the tonsils help block lung infections from 242 00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:32.720 happening. They're like the venus fly trap that catch things as they go past 243 00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:37.079 the mouth and into the throat area, and so be prepared. No, 244 00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:41.279 no, no, they'd ever had that conversation with Just get the tonsils out 245 00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:45.519 and this kid's going to be one hundred percent perfect. Not looking at the 246 00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:48.480 cause of my tonsil problem, like the dairy products that I was putting in 247 00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:52.079 my mouth and all the sugar. No no, no, no, cause 248 00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:53.480 we have to the rest of this after the break. Stay with us. 249 00:23:53.519 --> 00:24:00.160 It's the doctor, Bob Martinshell. The number one on health concern as we 250 00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:04.519 move toward and beyond the age of retirement is fear of losing our vision and 251 00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:10.039 therefore the ability to remain independent. Most of us, at some point in 252 00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:12.839 time have uttered the words I'm not seeing as well as I used to, 253 00:24:14.119 --> 00:24:18.440 or I think I need stronger glasses. If you are nearing or past age 254 00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:22.599 forty, it's not your imagination that your vision is getting worse. What is 255 00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:27.440 likely causing your vision to deteriorate is cataract formation. Cataracts occur when the lens 256 00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:32.400 of the eye becomes cloudy in blocks light from entering, which interferes with sharp, 257 00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:37.279 clear vision.

Life would not e if humans were unable to make nitric oxide 263 00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:06.039 within our blood vessel walls. There are many factors that reduce our ability to 264 00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:10.720 produce enough nitric oxide to enjoy optimal health. Contributors to the development of nitric 265 00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:15.559 oxide deficiency include consumption of sugar, unhealthy fats, inflammation, age, and 266 00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:19.440 unhealthy lifestyle. Here's the great news about re establishing optimal nitric oxide levels. 267 00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:25.480 Doctor Nathan Bryan, a leading world authority on nitric oxide supplementation, developed the 268 00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:30.759 best great tasting nitric oxide lozenge called N one oh one back by twenty years 269 00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:34.440 of science.

Coming up 302 00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:32.759 later on in the show, We're going to be talking today about a special 303 00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:37.480 food that may reduce the risk of breast cancer. That's what scientists are claiming. 304 00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:41.920 This out of the University of Toronto and published in the Journal of Microbiology 305 00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:48.200 Spectrum. So stick around for that if prevention of breast cancer interests you, 306 00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:52.559 and it should, since one out of eight women are going to have a 307 00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:56.240 breast cancer event in their lives, and there are ways to prevent that. 308 00:28:56.400 --> 00:29:00.759 And we'll talk more about that later on. Now we're going to get back 309 00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:06.720 to the topic of why it is and how it is that surgeons in the 310 00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:15.039 US are now calling for it's almost like a return to throat surgery again, 311 00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:22.599 more throat surgery on children. Many of the times it's so completely unnecessary to 312 00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:26.799 remove tonsils in children. Part of the immune system, which is part of 313 00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:33.119 our bodies, should be there intact for our entire lifespan. Surgeons are now 314 00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:38.240 calling for removal of tonsils in children more often. It's just been like a 315 00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:44.880 rubber ball back and forth over the years. There's been a great disagreement about 316 00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:48.559 this topic. Now we'll get back to that a little bit, but let 317 00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:51.640 me veer off the road here just a little bit and let you know that 318 00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:56.880 I think one of the risks of developing throat problems in tonsilect I mean even 319 00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:02.599 lung problems for that matter, is poor dental health, poor oral health. 320 00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:07.960 We know that good oral health leads to good overall health, and the opposite 321 00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:10.319 is true. If you don't have good oral health, you don't have good 322 00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:15.519 overall health. The US Surgeon General released a report on the Significance and Benefits 323 00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:21.960 of oral health, and the report states that good oral health leads to good 324 00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:29.480 overall health, and a person can't cannot be healthy without good oral health. 325 00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:34.680 Now, the Surgeon General report also states that safe and effective disease prevention measures 326 00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:44.119 exist that everyone of us can adopt to improve oral health and prevent disease. 327 00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:47.079 Because think about it, if there's all these germs swimming around in your mouth 328 00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:52.480 because you put food in your mouth and that's food for the germs to multiply. 329 00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:57.319 If all those germs exist and they're not washed out or neutralized, yeah, 330 00:30:57.680 --> 00:31:03.119 it creates an inflammatory proper there and it could wade deeper into your system 331 00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:06.759 visa VI your lungs and other parts of your body. So it's important to 332 00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:11.720 have good oral health at home and of course periodically seeing the dental hygienis in 333 00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:15.440 the dentist. But I can tell you this that most of the toothpaste on 334 00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:19.680 the market today does not contain a very important element, a very important ingredient. 335 00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:26.480 Please read the label on your toothpaste box, Read the label on your 336 00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:29.480 mouth wash, your mouth rints, read the label on your gum or mints 337 00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:33.519 that you use, and make sure that it is rich in xylotol. Rich 338 00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:41.119 in xylotol. Xylotol is spelled with an x x y liitol. Xylotol is 339 00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:48.960 a delicious and preferred healthy sweetener. The oral bacteria responsible for all the germs 340 00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:53.039 in your mouth and the decay and gingivitis and periodontal disease. These Streptoccus mutans 341 00:31:53.079 --> 00:32:01.240 or Mutis mutants Streptus caucus. These germs live off of carbohydrates and sugar that 342 00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:06.279 goes into the oral cavity. And guess what when they come in contact with 343 00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:17.119 xylatol in Spry Spry toothpaste and spry mouthwa mintce and mouthwash or Spry gum or 344 00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:24.039 mince, they vacate the region. They cannot survive. They cannot metabolize this 345 00:32:24.200 --> 00:32:30.240 type of delicious and preferred healthier sweetener, so they don't exist, and your 346 00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:35.160 oral cavity benefits by it, and therefore your immune system because then you don't 347 00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:37.799 have as much inflammation in your mouth, and the germs and the rest of 348 00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:43.759 the germs can't survive. They can't digest the xylatol like they can and all 349 00:32:43.799 --> 00:32:46.640 these other different oral products. Get rid of it, Get rid of kick 350 00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:51.680 these things to the curve that you're using Crest and Colgate and THEO brand and 351 00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:55.440 Sensidine and Ramburg. Kick them to the curb. They're not full and replete 352 00:32:55.599 --> 00:33:01.400 with xylotol. Only Spry spr why jotted down so the next time you're in 353 00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:06.880 the store you can pick some up for yourself and your family to lower your 354 00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:09.519 risk of having demo problems, therefore lower your risk of the need to see 355 00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:13.000 the hygienis and the need to see the dentist, even though you should do 356 00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:17.400 that periodically. I'm a fan of that preventive care. Spry products are rich 357 00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:24.039 in this all important xylot hal for dramatically and drastically improving your oral health, 358 00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:30.519 which improves your overall health.

All right, now, let's get back to this 367 00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:21.000 conversation about tonsils. Tonsilectomies one of the most common procedures in children surgical procedures 368 00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:24.000 and children and teens. More than a half million procedures performed each year, 369 00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:30.480 many of them completely unnecessary. Doctors ought to strive to look at the cause 370 00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:36.280 of why these children's tonsils are becoming infected and swollen and bloated before they start 371 00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:38.800 cutting them out. The only answer they have, the only tool that they 372 00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:45.639 employ is litz. Give some antibiotics. You know that might be appropriate from 373 00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:49.760 time to time, But after I guess seven rounds, that's the magic number. 374 00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:52.800 I guess seven rounds of antibiotics. It's sort of like, Okay, 375 00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:55.519 the first round didn't work. Let's try round two, round three, round 376 00:34:55.599 --> 00:35:00.079 four, round five, round six. When's that stay and go? If 377 00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:04.159 you keep repeating something over and over, you get the same result. It's 378 00:35:04.199 --> 00:35:07.599 kind of like in saanity. Well, look, they got no game. 379 00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:14.760 There's reasons why tonsils become infected, and it's not a deficiency in life of 380 00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:20.320 antibiotics. Even though they can be a miracle drug, and even though they 381 00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:28.280 can help, they're not necessary usually now. Tonsil ectomies the surgical procedure itself 382 00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:32.360 lasts about twenty to thirty minutes, that's how long it takes to cut them 383 00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:38.960 out, but requires the child undergo general anesthesia. Folks, general anesthesia that 384 00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:45.679 in and of itself is a risk. Think about that. General anesthesia like 385 00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:51.760 taking you an inch away from dying. We'll get back into this and we'll 386 00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:54.920 talk about some of the things you can do to avoid tonsilitis. I'm doctor 387 00:35:55.000 --> 00:36:00.639 Bob Martin. The number one health concern as we move toward and beyond the 388 00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:06.599 age of retirement is fear of losing our vision and therefore the ability to remain 389 00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:09.840 independent. Most of us, at some point in time have uttered the words 390 00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:14.400 I'm not seeing as well as I used to, or I think I need 391 00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:19.159 stronger glasses. If you are nearing or past age forty, it's not your 392 00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:22.840 imagination that your vision is getting worse. What is likely causing your vision to 393 00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:28.800 deteriorate is cataract formation. Cataracts occur when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy 394 00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:31.639 and blocks light from entering, which interferes with sharp, clear vision. A 395 00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:37.199 science based cataract reversal eye drop called can See is changing lives of people with 396 00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:43.320 poor vision caused by cataract.

Life would not exist 400 00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:01.719 if humans were unable to make nitric oxide within our blood vessel walls. There 401 00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:07.079 are many factors that reduce our ability to produce enough nitric oxide to enjoy optimal 402 00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:10.920 health. Contributors to the development of nitric oxide deficiency include consumption of sugar, 403 00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:15.440 unhealthy fats, inflammation, age, and unhealthy lifestyle. Here's the great news 404 00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:21.400 about re establishing optimal nitric oxide levels. Doctor Nathan Bryan, a leading world 405 00:37:21.440 --> 00:37:27.119 authority on nitric oxide supplementation, developed the best, great tasting nitric oxide lozenge 406 00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:30.840 called N one oh one, back by twenty years of science.

They'll thank 432 00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:57.159 you for it. If you're just tuning in, we're talking about tonsils and 433 00:39:57.280 --> 00:40:02.719 tonsile ectomies. Surgeons are now calling for more children's tonsils to be surgically removed. 434 00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:07.280 They've been back and forth on this for years. Back in the sixties, 435 00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:13.920 they were removing almost a million and a half tonsiles in the United States, 436 00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:17.320 and it went dropped down to a couple hundred thousand. Now it's back 437 00:40:17.440 --> 00:40:23.760 up to a half million. Just back and forth because we find a disagreement 438 00:40:23.800 --> 00:40:28.559 about this. I disagree with it greatly. I lost my tonsils to a 439 00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:34.960 surgically unnecessary surgical abortion of my tonsils when I was a child because my parents 440 00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:37.280 didn't know any better. Had they known better, they would have battled it 441 00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:42.440 out, and had my doctor been able to advise them that if they would 442 00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:49.000 just stop feeding me dairy foods and keep me away from chocolate and sugar and 443 00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:54.599 mountain dews and pepsi colas and other undesirable foods, and feed me more of 444 00:40:54.679 --> 00:40:59.840 the right foods and have me actually drinking water and brushing my teeth on a 445 00:40:59.880 --> 00:41:04.880 regular basis, I would not have had my tonsils removed because I would not 446 00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:08.920 have been infected constantly and when you think about the surgical procedure behind tonsils, 447 00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:13.880 it's you know, general anesthesia, folks, when you knock your people out 448 00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:19.320 general anesthesian. Believe me, anesthesiologies come a long ways. They have perfected 449 00:41:19.360 --> 00:41:23.320 it. But things happen. I mean, one in what twelve hundred or 450 00:41:23.320 --> 00:41:27.599 one in sixteen hundred people can die from general athesia if you look at all 451 00:41:27.719 --> 00:41:31.480 surgeries involved, from heart surgery down to tons electivemusic, all ladders, remove, 452 00:41:31.599 --> 00:41:35.440 et cetera. So you never want to expose yourself to general and istesi 453 00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:37.920 if you don't need it. But when the tonsils grow large enough to become 454 00:41:39.119 --> 00:41:42.800 when it's difficult for the person to breathe, you got to go, oh, 455 00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:44.760 hey, gosh, they're not breathing at night, they're not sleeping, 456 00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:46.960 They're gonna get sicker and sickert So you have to intervene on their behalf. 457 00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:52.000 But unfortunately it doesn't need to happen that way. You got to find out 458 00:41:52.039 --> 00:41:55.079 what's causing the tonsils to swell. They're a part of the immune system that's 459 00:41:55.119 --> 00:42:00.320 trying to talk back to somebody and nobody's listening. We just want to remove 460 00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:02.280 it and be done with it. Unfortunately, that doesn't solve the problem. 461 00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:07.760 It just causes whatever it's causing the tonsils to be swollen and infected to go 462 00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:12.000 deeper into the system. The next thing is more bronchitis like me, more 463 00:42:12.320 --> 00:42:15.639 pneumonia like me growing up, more asthma like me growing up. Had I 464 00:42:15.760 --> 00:42:19.280 had my tonsils, I would have been able to survive a lot of that. 465 00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:23.000 And I've been hospitalized three or four or five times from deep lung infections. 466 00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:28.360 But no, I got my tonsils removed. Therefore my fort got knocked 467 00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:32.000 down. My immune system fort could not defend itself against the infections, and 468 00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:37.480 therefore I got worse. Oh, it was a temporary stay of my swollen 469 00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:39.840 throat for a while, sure, but I am paying for it as an 470 00:42:39.840 --> 00:42:43.800 adult. Have paid for it as an adult, because when something breaks down, 471 00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:45.360 guess what, it's always my throat. And you might hear me go 472 00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:50.519 like that once in a while here in the air or coughing or clear in 473 00:42:50.599 --> 00:42:53.599 my throat, it's because I don't have my tonsils. You need your tonsils. 474 00:42:53.639 --> 00:42:58.199 They're part of your immune system, it's part of your lymphatic system. 475 00:42:59.159 --> 00:43:05.920 It helps thebes stay away, it helps you manage the microbes. But as 476 00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:08.440 I said, the argument has been, well, should we remove them or 477 00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:13.280 not. They've been back and forth on this. If your child has frequent 478 00:43:13.320 --> 00:43:16.880 bouts of strep throat, they say, yank your tonsils. If your child's 479 00:43:16.920 --> 00:43:22.679 tonsils are big, yank your tonsils, put the kid under general ane season, 480 00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:27.679 cut them out. Once again. Conventional medicine treats symptoms, not causes. 481 00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:30.920 That's what they do, and I agree there are times when they get 482 00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:36.519 so overwhelmed that it might be an option, But that should be the last 483 00:43:36.559 --> 00:43:38.199 thing, not the first thing, and too many times it's the first thing. 484 00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:43.280 Once again, conventional medicine treat symptoms, not causes. If your child's 485 00:43:43.320 --> 00:43:46.800 tonsils are enlarged, or your child's presents with strep throat infections, the question 486 00:43:47.000 --> 00:43:52.119 is not whether or not to rip out the tonsils. The question is what's 487 00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:55.199 causing the infection to keep happening when it doesn't happen in the next person. 488 00:43:55.239 --> 00:44:00.000 In the next person, many things are capable of lowering your child's immune system 489 00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:06.400 leading to tonsilitis from an allergy to a food such as dairy products and chocolate 490 00:44:06.480 --> 00:44:09.360 and sugar junk food, which is the main causes of most tonsole problems to 491 00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:15.400 eliminating certain food intolerances or food allergies in their diet, which are easily discovered 492 00:44:15.480 --> 00:44:19.239 and you need to act on that. Removing dairy and junk food from the 493 00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:22.760 diet often solves ton selectivities, and if you keep them away from chocolate, 494 00:44:23.159 --> 00:44:28.800 it will really solve it because germs, especially strap, love chocolate. We 495 00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:32.480 did these experiments when I was going through to get my doctorate in these augur 496 00:44:32.599 --> 00:44:37.480 dishes where we would try to culture strap from our saliva in our throat, 497 00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:40.960 and man, the minute you put chocolate in that little dish, it went 498 00:44:42.119 --> 00:44:46.639 wild and it started to form all these infections. So that's what we need 499 00:44:46.719 --> 00:44:51.519 to do and get these children away from all this processed food that they're eating 500 00:44:51.599 --> 00:44:55.000 and more fruits and veggies and raw foods and better foods. In the nineteen 501 00:44:55.000 --> 00:45:00.639 fifties, when the United States was still dealing with the epidemic outbreak polio, 502 00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:07.360 researchers discovered that children who had their tonsils removed were three times more likely to 503 00:45:07.719 --> 00:45:14.360 contract bulbar polio, infecting the bulbar portion of the brain stem than children who 504 00:45:14.519 --> 00:45:19.599 retained their tonsils. That's how important they are, and aside from our medical 505 00:45:19.639 --> 00:45:25.239 approach that basis solutions on symptoms rather than causation. Ignorance of another kind has 506 00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:31.360 driven this lucrative practice of removing tonsils. Doctors didn't really understand their function, 507 00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:38.320 and in twenty twelve researchers discovered the tonsil is a little factory of immune cells, 508 00:45:38.519 --> 00:45:43.800 specifically T cells, and T cells are vital to fighting viruses and cancer 509 00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:49.000 caused by viruses like involvements are coma. So the role of these things are 510 00:45:49.079 --> 00:45:52.000 very important. You need your tonsils if you can keep them, we'll finish 511 00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:54.760 up right after this break. Stay with us. I'm doctor Bob Martin. 512 00:45:57.679 --> 00:46:00.519 Life would not exist if humans were unable to make nitric oxide within our blood 513 00:46:00.599 --> 00:46:05.480 vessel walls. There are many factors that reduce our ability to produce enough nitric 514 00:46:05.519 --> 00:46:09.679 oxide to enjoy optimal health. Contributors to the development of nitric oxide deficiency include 515 00:46:09.719 --> 00:46:15.199 consumption of sugar, unhealthy fats, inflammation, age, and unhealthy lifestyle. 516 00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:20.360 Here's the great news about re establishing optimal nitric oxide levels. Doctor Nathan Bryan, 517 00:46:20.480 --> 00:46:24.360 a leading world authority on nitric oxide supplementation, developed the best great tasting 518 00:46:24.480 --> 00:46:29.920 nitric oxide lozenge called N one oh one back by twenty years of science. 519 00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:35.039 Beware of companies trying to capitalize on doctor Brian's work selling imitation products claiming to 520 00:46:35.159 --> 00:46:38.559 increase nitric oxide.

The tempting Aroma of 541 00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:21.360 roasted Turkey beckoned from the Vacaville, California Veterans Hall Thursday afternoon, and inside 542 00:48:21.719 --> 00:48:24.599 early Thanksgiving was in full swing. At least one hundred people had arrived for 543 00:48:24.679 --> 00:48:30.079 the annual community Thanksgiving meal, and smiles of plenty were on display from volunteers 544 00:48:30.119 --> 00:48:34.719 and community members alike. Jeff Jewel, a longtime veterans advocate, made a 545 00:48:34.760 --> 00:48:37.599 brief request before food began to flow. He said, let's never forget those 546 00:48:37.639 --> 00:48:40.440 who have served their country and those who launch their lives so that we could 547 00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:45.719 be here today, he said to a chorus of Amen's. Lou Durfis, 548 00:48:45.800 --> 00:48:49.480 who was home to Thanksgiving meals for years, said he's grateful that renovations on 549 00:48:49.519 --> 00:48:52.639 the Veterans Hall are over. We're glad to be back, he said. 550 00:48:52.880 --> 00:48:55.559 It's been ten months. For more great veteran stories, just go to National 551 00:48:55.639 --> 00:49:22.079 Defense Network dot com. What Doesn't Kill Your Nexusise? All right, welcome 552 00:49:22.119 --> 00:49:25.239 and welcome back to the Doctor Bob Martsin show. I'm Doctor Bob. We're 553 00:49:25.239 --> 00:49:30.199 in our final segment. Stick around because next hour we have a special guest 554 00:49:30.280 --> 00:49:32.280 coming up. Plus, I'm going to be talking about a special food that 555 00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:38.239 may reduce your risk of breast cancer that according to scientists writing of the journal 556 00:49:38.320 --> 00:49:44.360 Microbiology Spectrum, we've been talking about tonsilitis and inflammation of the tonsils, generally 557 00:49:44.519 --> 00:49:47.719 due to a viral or bacterial infection, very common childhood illness, and generally 558 00:49:47.840 --> 00:49:52.800 doctors want to immediately prescribe antibiotics or recommend tonsil removal, which is a mistake 559 00:49:52.960 --> 00:49:58.000 in my opinion and the opinion of a lot of doctors, because the tonsils 560 00:49:58.039 --> 00:50:00.440 are a very important part of the immune system. We should try to keep 561 00:50:00.480 --> 00:50:04.360 it. But with every problem we talk about, we want to talk about 562 00:50:04.360 --> 00:50:07.000 a solution. There are solutions. You get these children away from dairy foods 563 00:50:07.159 --> 00:50:12.639 because that's the number one cause of throat infections and allergies, and you don't 564 00:50:12.679 --> 00:50:15.239 want to have that in the oral cavity because it's just perfect breeding ground for 565 00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:21.599 these strip germs to get going. And once you get them off the sugar 566 00:50:21.679 --> 00:50:23.440 and the junk food and the dairy products and the chocolate, they start to 567 00:50:23.480 --> 00:50:28.760 get better. In the meantime, you can use homeopathic remedies. Homeopathic remedies 568 00:50:28.800 --> 00:50:34.679 are fantastic for tonsilitis. A homeopath, a trained homeopath will prescribe a remedy 569 00:50:34.760 --> 00:50:39.079 such as lycopodium it's administered for a sore throat or chronic enlargement of tonsils or 570 00:50:39.159 --> 00:50:45.199 tonsilitis, or phytolacca, which is ministered again for sore throats, rough and 571 00:50:45.320 --> 00:50:52.719 constricted, hot red swollen tonsils, or cali miruricadium, which is also a 572 00:50:52.840 --> 00:50:59.679 homeopathic remedy that's used in tonsilitis where there's a lot of swelling and the body's 573 00:50:59.719 --> 00:51:02.840 talk back. You've got herbal remedies that are available for children that help with 574 00:51:04.079 --> 00:51:08.760 tonsil and throat proms acnesia garlic like coolic age garlic extract. My kids grew 575 00:51:08.840 --> 00:51:14.400 up on that, giving them liquid garlic constantly to keep those infections low because 576 00:51:14.440 --> 00:51:17.079 they were coming home with them from school and all that. Kids swap stuff 577 00:51:17.159 --> 00:51:22.119 like that. You've got herbs like myr and sage and a regano look the 578 00:51:22.280 --> 00:51:28.119 tonsils. If you give the person that is having some sore throat something that 579 00:51:28.480 --> 00:51:31.320 changes the terrain and their throat, they're gonna get better. You can clear 580 00:51:31.360 --> 00:51:37.119 the mucus by simply giving them a concoction of honey and onions. You put 581 00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:39.440 it in and you mix it up in the blender and you mix it together 582 00:51:39.480 --> 00:51:43.440 and you make it palatable. And if you want to get clear the mucus, 583 00:51:43.519 --> 00:51:46.480 you give them an ac and acetyl cysteine, or give them tea of 584 00:51:46.800 --> 00:51:52.480 peppermint, peppermint tea, elder flour tea, or yarrow leaf tea. There 585 00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:59.440 are ways to manage throat problems and tonsilitis and children and adults. You got 586 00:51:59.519 --> 00:52:01.960 to know what you doing, and you have to have a doctor who's learned 587 00:52:02.079 --> 00:52:06.599 in this. And if you don't hire one. Find a nature pathic doctor, 588 00:52:07.119 --> 00:52:12.480 find a chiropractic physician, or a doctor's trained in functional medicine or integrative 589 00:52:12.519 --> 00:52:15.159 medicine. They'll know how to do these things. I mean, you can 590 00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:22.000 use Clear Rescue nasal spray. They've also have a nasal spray over it Clear 591 00:52:22.119 --> 00:52:28.440 for children called kids Clear Clear as spell with an X X L E R 592 00:52:28.880 --> 00:52:31.880 Kids, xylotol and saline nasal spray. Because a lot of these germs that 593 00:52:32.320 --> 00:52:37.599 cause tonsilitis comes through the nasal cavity first, and if you nip it there, 594 00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:40.079 it won't evade deeper in the system. So get to the health food's 595 00:52:40.119 --> 00:52:44.800 door. All right, we're coming right back. Stay with us. I'm 596 00:52:44.880 --> 00:52:45.760 doctor Bob Martin.
