word hurts one triple eight, five, five, three, seven, two
six two. We've got a great show in the bag for you today.
Stick around for the entirety because you're going to learn something about your health.
We begin with this topic, and I want to tell you it's a it's
a little bit lengthy, but it's very important to learn about. If you've
been around long enough, you've probably run into people who we're addicted, or
have been addicted, or are addicted to drugs licit or illicit. And in
this case, we want to talk about addictive drugs that are illicit. There
are four deadly diseases caused by drug consumption. We're talking about illicit drugs.
Now, Addiction has long term negative effects on your health. Most people recognize
that, and the risk of sickness and other problems increases for those with these
drug use disorders. Unfortunately, addiction and substance misuse are prevalent, especially in
America because while we're one of just a couple of countries that are in love
with drugs pharmaceuticals. We see that, of course, because we advertise them
NonStop, all day, every day, all night, every night on television,
which reinforces that you don't have to cope, just take dope, and
relief is just a swallow away concept, and people have a hard time sorting
out the necessity of perhaps a life saving prescription drug versus one that is used
recreationally. Active addiction makes it difficult to maintain healthy lifestyle practices. We know
that, and this includes the need and the necessity of exercise and good diet
and lifestyle which supports are immune systems. Drug abuse, licit or illness.
It reduces the capacity of your immune system to fight infections, so when everything
comes along, you're going to be the one that gets it more often if
you are ingesting pharmaceutical or illicit drugs. It also raises your chance of developing
many other illnesses, and the consumer drugs can lead to various health consequences in
the short or long term. Some people get sick right away, and other
people you know, for some reason, their bodies are able to handle the
drug assault that they're putting on themselves and then they break down down the road.
And this may differ based on the drug type, frequency, the amount
of usage, as well as the individual health their ability to withstand the assault
of those chemicals. Going into their body and having to filter out through their
liver or other organs. Now, the consequences of drug addiction can have an
impact on the functioning of your body. Drugs can affect your body's organs,
can cause psychological difficulties, and of course even death. We know this,
and the death count is going up from all these illicit drugs that are coming
over our border, and we're doing very little to stop them. Use of
drugs also raises the chance of acquiring all kinds of infections, and that includes
the big ones, which we need to talk about here right now, hepatitis
AIDS, HIV, heart damage, and brain damage. HIV is related to
the use of injectable drugs like heroin, cocaine, opioids, and morphine.
Those levels of drugs, the use of those drugs, the statistics show that
they're rising. HIV reduces the efficiency of your immune system. It leaves you
more susceptible to other infections. You will require lifelong treatment with drugs to manage
your HIV infection. HIV can transform into fatal disease. We all know and
her have heard about AIDS. If you don't get treatment, you've got number
two on that list. Hepatitis C. A person who injects drugs is prone
to hepatitis C. That's how that form or that type of hepatite hepatitis or
inflammation of your liver, that's how it comes to fruition. The spread of
the virus happens when needles and syringes are shared and war reused, and many
drug addicts do just that. The risk increases with syringes that have detachable needles.
And you've heard all these horror stories about needles in the street and needles
that are being disposed of incorrectly and children grabbing them that are out playing in
the streets. Terrible Infected people can spread hepatitis C through their blood. This
results in liver inflammation and before the development of severe liver disease hepatitis C.
Hepatitis C can be a temporary condition, yes it can. However, it
is in the long lasting chronic illness for the vast majority of people, and
it can result in conditions like big ones that you never ever want to be
diagnosed with. Trust me on this, and I've treated many of them,
cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancer. So if you ever have somebody offer
up some type of let me share my illicit drug with you with this syringe.
Please don't do that. Not good. We'll go to number three when
we come back from this break and number four and talk about those. It's
important. You're going to run across somebody, maybe a loved on or a
relative that needs this information. We'll have that when we come back, and
we're also going to go to your phone's Larry in New Jersey. You're going
to be up first, stand by, and if you want to join us,
you can too. We'll be right back. The number one health concern
is we move toward and beyond the age of retirement, is fear of losing
our vision and therefore the ability to remain independent. Most of us, at
some point in time have uttered the words I'm not seeing as well as I
used to, or I think I need stronger glasses. If you are nearing
or past age forty, it's not your imagination that your vision is getting worse.
What is likely causing your vision to deteriorate is cataract formation. Cataracts occur
when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy in blocks light from entering, which
interferes with sharp, clear vision. A science based cataract reversal eye drop called
CANC is changing lives of people with poor vision caused by cataract. Learn more

to this hour of the Doctor Bob Martin. Show our phone number into the
program. Should you have a question about your own health or somebody else's health,
or would like to make a health related comment, here's the number eight
eight eight five five three seven two six two eight eight eight fifty five.
And then on your Touchstone phone, Doctor Bob, that would be d R
Bob one triple eight five five three seven two six two. We'll get back
to in a moment here. The four deadly diseases caused by illicit drug use.
Now, I think that most of us have known somebody who has struggled
with drug use. We're not talking about prescription drug use. That's a huge
another area. But we're talking about people who are addicted to drugs and eventually
can develop four deadly diseases. We've covered two of them, HIV and hepatitis
C. And when we get to the back end of this presentation, I'm
going to tell you about some options that you can share with those people that
you may run across in your life, maybe a loved one, maybe a
family member, some co worker, a friend, to neighbor, to encourage
them that there is hope for drug addiction. We'll get to that, but
let us get to the phones now, and we begin with Larry. He's
calling in from the state of New Jersey. Welcome to the Doctor Bob Martin
Show. Larry, Hello, Hello, doctor Bob. How are you today?
I'm well, how can I help you? Sir? Yeah, I
just have a quick question. Lately, I'm beginning a lot of pinon needles
and tingling. You might beat an ankles. Is that poor circulation or what
a cause in that? Typically? Is it equal on both sides, Larry,
it's more on one leg than the other. Well, if you have
a sensation like that in both on both sides, it's most likely a circulatory
problem. And usually that circulatory problem is driven by some type of impedance or
interference with normal nerve conduct to those tissues in your feet. The most common
condition is neuropathy peripheral neuropathy and peripheral neuropathy can have many causes, the most
common of which are blood sugar elevations as in diabetes or alcohol use, and
usually that's those are the common ones. There are many many others. Low
back problems where the nerves are encroached coming out of your lower spine, your
lower lumbar area and into your extremities that can be it. So you don't
want to put off or out of the five dangers, whereas Larry, maybe
it will go away if it's lasting more than a couple of days, because
that means that that tissue in your feet is dying. Basically, those tissues
are dying because they're not getting their supply of nerve energy. And there could
be some blood flow problems because nerve conduction affects blood flow as well. So
what I would do to start with is rule out the most common problems that
cause parasthesia or numbness. That would be get a blood test done and measure
you. Whoever's ordering that will order a comprehensive metabolic panel and look at it,
look at your glucose and look at all the other factors. And then
I would also visit your chiropractic physician to have them check your spine to see
if there's any biomechanical misalignments of your spine that need correction so that you can
re establish the normal pattern of nerve flow coming out of your spine into your
extremities. So those are the two things I would I would investigate first.
They're probably like ninety some percent of the reason why these things happen, such
as what you describe, and this is not going to get better on its
own. I would not put this off the work. The longer this goes,
the worse it gets. Whichever case it is, well, I appreciate
that it's been going on for a little while. It's not something that just
happened in the last couple of weeks. So I'm going to I'll get a
blood test, and I I love chiropractice, have had great success with them
in the past, but I haven't been to one a year, so that
makes sense. All right, Larry, thank you for your phone called.
Good health to you, sir, Thanks a lot. You're welcome. All
right. Now, we started off talking about four deadly diseases caused by drug
consumption. I've known many people, both close friends, family, members,
business associates and acquaintances who have been strung out on elicit drugs and we're in
the risk pocket of developing anything. These diseases. The four big bad diseases
we've covered HIV, hepatitis c's number two, but number three is heart disease.
Yes, these illicit drugs. Doesn't matter if it's heroin or cocaine or
you know, whatever flavored drugs somebody likes speed downers, whatever it may be.
Drug abuse substances can harm your hearts, blood vessels and tissues that can
alter your heart rhythm and shift your blood pressure. Big time drug users who
inject themselves are at a significant risk for this, and they may develop a
heart condition called infectious endocarditis. Heart infections can be dangerous without treatment, and
sometimes antibiotics may help to get rid of the bacteria so they can get well
again, but then the unfortunately go back to using the drugs, so it's
a vicious cycle. That's number three. Number four on this list of the
top four bad drugs or bad disease is caused by these drug consumptions. Elicit
drug consumption, brain damage. The use of drugs may start as a choice,
maybe an experiment. Maybe I just want to get high with my friends
and see what it's like to have an altered state of mind. But it
can also change the chemical balance of your brain, and this can affect decision
making abilities and lead to uncomfortable urges to use drugs again and again, to
try to hit that buzzer again, hit that high, go to that place
where you've never been before, and that yet you need more of it to
get there. Drug addicts brains and central nervous systems may sustain long term harm.
The impact of drugs on the brain results from several effects. It includes
changes in the structure and function, memory loss, confusion, and movement problems.
It also damages the frontal low and causes feelings of depression and anxiety.
And then they may go into their doctor or find a doctor without telling them
they're un illicit drugs already and they now are being prescribed licit drugs, prescription
drugs. Now they've got more drugs on top of drugs, and their body
has to put up with that toxiccess pool. Not good. The most serious
outcome of substance addiction is, of course, mortality. You basically die from
it. And we're seeing more and more of that with fentomal use and cocaine
and all these drugs that are laced with these drugs coming over the border.
The largest increase in fatalities is linked to synthetic opioids and heroin. Over the
last year, hundreds of thousands of individuals twelve years of age and older have
initiated heroin use and other drugs. So how do you avoid drug abuse and
be safe from these deadly diseases? That becomes the question. While treating substance
use disorders through outpatient care is still a challenging process. It can alter the
brain, making it difficult to quit without professional help. And now I'm a
big fan of that. I'm a fan of getting professional health. However,
there's hope in other areas you can if you're motivated, and you can and
or motivate somebody by talking with them, and that's the key, open up
that conversation, find practical suggestions, make practical suggestions to prevent excessive drug consumption
or any at all. We're going to get into those when we come back
from this break. So stay with us because someday you might be able to
help somebody out who's struggling in this arena, you're tuned into the Doctor Bob
Martin Show. Are you tired of crazy blood sugar and blood pressure numbers?
Doctor Bob Martin here, listen to this true story. I was diagnosed with

A? Welcome you back to this hour. The doctor Bob Martin Show,
and you are certainly welcome to call into this radio talk show with a
question about your own health or the health of somebody else on our toll free
number, which is eight eight eight five five three seven two six two eight
eight eight fifty five. Doctor Bob one triple eight five five three seven two
six two is our call in phone number taking your calls on the topic of
health, any and all health questions or health related comments. Now I'll get
back to the talk that I'm doing about the four deadly diseases caused by illicit
drug use that include HIV, hepatitis, heart disease, and damage to the
heart and brain damage, and how people who are caught up in the illicit
drug use can help themselves out or you can suggest certain things to them to
help themselves out safely and naturally. We will get to that information shortly.
Also, I want to let you know coming up on the program, I'm
gonna be talking about the difference between vaccinated and unvaccinated children. The question becomes,
who do you think healthier? Unvaccinated children who don't get vaccines or those
who receive all the vaccines required or recommended by doctors and pediatricians, which group
is healthier? Can you guess? I think you're going to be very surprised
about that one, and we'll have that coming up on the show today.
You know, your mouth is a gateway to your body, to your health.
You might be saying, a gateway to what doctor Bob well, First
and foremost, the mouth is a gateway for bacteria, which causes cavities,
dental carries, the need to see a dentist, to have your teeth drilled
and filled, and even it's a gateway to the development of inflammation of your
gums in your mouth gum disease, periodontal disease, but germs can also infiltrate
the body through the mouth and cause greater problems elsewhere in the body. Studies
have shown that when people have poor oral hygiene and suffer from gum disease,
bacteria can slip into the bloodstream infected in the gum tissue. That can lead
to plaque build up in your blood vessels and your heart. And poor oral
hygiene is even linked to various diseases such as diabetes, oral cancer, and
even Alzheimer's disease. So you can't really have a healthy, happy brain if
you have a unhealthy, unhappy oral cavity, the mouth can also host viruses
that's not good in this day and age. Especially from there, it can
get into the airway and affect your lungs. Again, oral hygiene is much
more than making sure you have a pretty smile. Yeah, that's important and
pretty and good smelling breath, but it's way beyond that. This is about
whole body health and making sure the area that germs can enter are clean.
That's the goal. I'll tell you what. I have found this out through
patients who have not paid a lot of attention to their oral health and how
they have developed catastrophic health related problems. In fact, when you start taking
better care of your oral health, your entire health will improve. But you've
got to make sure you're using the right products to have that happen. I'm
not a big fan of these commonly used full of chemical toothpaste, for example,
like Crest and Colgate and therap Breath and Sensidie and Rembrandt. No,
no, no, you look at the label on that and you see all
these chemicals you cannot pronounce. They don't need to go into your body.
Find a clean toothpaste can I suggest the one I've been using for over twenty
years of my family and many doctors that I know. It's called Spry Spry
toothpaste and Spry mouthwash and mouth rents. They're the ones that are rich in
zylatol. And if you are unfamiliar with zylatol, you should familiarize yourself with
it because it is a delicious and preferred, healthy sweetener that you can actually
utilize in toothpaste and mouth rents that not only doesn't cause tooth decay and inflammation
in your mouth, it's anti tooth decay and anti inflammation in your mouth because
the germs cannot metabolize it, so when they come in contact with it and
ingest it, it tricks them into dying basically, and they leave and they
don't harm you. So do your hygienist and your dentist a big favor by
cleaning up your oral cavity so there's not as much problem there and you will
enjoy improved oral health yourself. Write it down Spry, Sprye tooth baste and
Sprye mouth rents and mouthwash. You can find Spry products Spry products by a
company by the name of Clear x l e R the company that makes Clear
nasal spray products. We talk about them all the time. You can find
all their products at CBS Pharmacies, Write Aid, Target, vitamin shops,
sprouts and also natural grossers. Or you can go right over to their website
to learn more about what they do at Clear dot com, xl ear dot
com, Clear dot com for sprye dental defense products and the Clear nasal sprays.
All right, back to our conversation about illicit drug use. It is
on the rise in America for a lot of different reasons. But let's talk
about some of the solutions now. We know that there are plenty of drug
addicts among us in our community. Some of them are closet drug addicts.
Some of them are right out there in the open, Some are in the
streets. Some might be your relatives, or your friends or coworkers. What
can they do? What should they do to help themselves out? Well?
We know that exercise in maintaining a healthy diet will help even the most hardened
illicit drug user. Healthy eating and frequent exercise may keep you healthy, but
this can also lower your chances of drug abuse. Studies have shown that individuals
struggling with addiction can benefit from exercise because it lowers stress, it enhances mood,
and it improves coping mechanisms. Furthermore, exercise decreases the urge to use
drugs. It does. This is and proven because you see when you exercise,
you're actually producing and circulating more of your own feel good drugs. We
have a virtual pharmacy within our brain and within our body that aids us on
an everyday basis. Sometimes it gets interfered with on a bunch of levels,
so turn it loose. Exercise helps to turn it loose, helps to ramp
it up. During the recovery process. Exercise can aid in the restoration of
healthy levels of naturally occurring happy drugs within the body called endorphins and in Keflen's.
That's why exercise is key to maintaining good health and of course good diet.
Whether you're taking illicit drugs or you're tempted to take illicit drugs, that's
where a very important area exists. We'll get back to some more of this
after this. I'm doctor Bob Martin. The number one health concern and as
we move toward and beyond the age of retirement is fear of losing our vision
and therefore the ability to remain independent. Most of us, at some point

There you will need to spell out the word doctor, don't abbreviate it doctor
bob dot com. And if you want to follow me on Twitter, just
posted up a bunch of stuff over there this morning at doctor Bob Martin.
All right now, if you're just tuning into the program, I have been
discussing how these four deadly diseases that are caused by drug consumption, talking about
illicit drug use. Here four of them, HIV, hepatitis C, heart
damage and brain damage caused by the use of illicit drugs. There's lots of
them in the marketplace, opioids, heroin, cocaine, you name it.
And how people can help themselves, and how you can help other people by
suggesting to them. And I just covered it in the last segment, how
exercise and maintaining a healthy diet help people recover from and prevent them from ever
getting into drug use. I'm also a fan of people who have the proclivity
to take or abuse drugs. Joining support groups getting together with others might help
provide the support and guidance they require. A support group can be valuable as
a source of help, empathy, and knowledge for relatives seeking guidance on addiction.
It offers a safe space to share their feelings and avoid feeling isolated.
You can find emotional, spiritual, and physical healing through support groups. I'm
a fan of that. Talk therapy is something that I've always suggested. These
groups provide effective tools to handle difficult situations and even prevent long term relapse,
which is a very high level in illicit drug use. People take these drugs
illicite for a reason. They're in pain some way. It could be a
mental pain, it could be a physical pain. It could be part of
the reason why they don't stop is because of the pain when they stop,
it's so painful. Then the next step that people should know is trying to
avoid environments that encourage drug use. Avoid going to or being in circumstances where
drugs could be available. Studies have shown that the surroundings play a big role
in their proneness to addiction. If you interact with individuals who engage in excessive
drug use, or any kind of ILLNESSID drug use. You are more likely
to emulate the behavior you want to be part of the crowd, you want
to be accepted. Youngsters exposed to drug use in their home environment are at
a greater risk of having drug use problems in the future. In other words,
if young, if a young person is watching their parents smoke cigarettes,
drink alcohol, pop illicit drugs, or illicit drugs, smoke marijuana in the
home, you don't think that that message is going into that child's brain to
do the same thing to emulate their hero. The people who are supposed to
be teaching them otherwise, what you do speak so loudly that what you say
cannot be heard. I can't. It's always amazing for me to have parents
trying to tell their kids not to take drugs when they themselves are using drugs.
It just it amazes me how then they wonder why their kids do drugs.
Now, if you're an illicit drug user, certainly I am a big
encourager of talking to somebody you might find it easier to deal with if you
discuss the problem with a friend or a family member, as opposed to somebody
professionally like a counselor Having a conversation with someone who is struggling with drug addiction
is crucial. It can motivate the individual to take action towards their well being,
give them choices, give them a motivation to that. After a successful
talk, it may be appropriate to discuss the next steps. If the person
is receptive to seeking professional help, you can encourage them to pursue the option.
Just don't judge them. Just be a friend, Be as somebody they
can lean on and go to for that advice because they're obviously not strong enough
to do it for themselves. Learn about drug treatment programs. If you or
someone you love is battling drug addiction, do some research, help them,
help them become aware of the choices. It is possible to recover from drug
addiction with the correct help and support. Each individual needs the appropriate amount of
care. One must also have a network of support and therapy to address the
root causes of substance abuse. This allows you to achieve a longer lasting sobriety.
So whether the addiction is from it doesn't matter any drug caffeine, nicotine,
opioid, alcohol, or psychotropic drugs. There are non drug tools and
treatments that are available, They're safe, and they're effective. Now, in
the final part here, I'm going to list some of the things that people
can do because withdrawal from the illicit drugs is the enemy of addiction recovery.
But there are ways that exist, options that exist, and I'll run through
them quickly that people can access to easily that are safe and highly effective.
