There you will need to spell out the name 28 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.719 doctor D O C T O R Bob dot com. You've got Instagram, 29 00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:46.240 you've got x formerly Twitter. It's all over there in the podcast library of 30 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:50.520 this show lives where if you miss a show one weekend, or if you 31 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.360 just want to hear this one all over again, it'll be in the podcast 32 00:03:53.479 --> 00:04:00.000 library at doctor Bob dot com all right, we begin today with a subject 33 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:06.840 which is obviously controversial and can be emotionally driven, especially with if you've ever 34 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:12.159 been caught up in this yourself or one of your loved ones or close friends, 35 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:16.040 maybe a coworker have been caught up in it, and that is having 36 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:26.360 a complication as a result of elective surgery. Now, two weeks ago, 37 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:38.000 we learned that the Defense Secretary of the United States, Lloyd Austin, was 38 00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:46.040 hospitalized for a procedure. Apparently he went into get a prostate procedure, an 39 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:51.439 elective prostate surgery. And we'll get into this later. And he's still there. 40 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:58.079 Two weeks later, he's still and that's at least that's my understanding today. 41 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.319 He's still in the hospital. We're approaching two weeks or we're at two 42 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:11.079 weeks as a result of a medical complication from a prostate related surgery, which 43 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:17.040 is which is usually elective, And we'll get into that. But before I 44 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:23.360 start, I just want to say this. There are many elective surgeries performed 45 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:28.199 in the US each year, probably hundreds of thousands. I don't know what 46 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:33.519 the true number is, maybe more than millions that go well and are performed 47 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:41.759 by dedicated surgeons that meanwhile, however, you need to be aware as a 48 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:50.480 consumer that between one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand people die in US hospitals 49 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:58.399 each year following elective surgery. And this number, I mean it could be 50 00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:03.639 larger than that. Nobody really knows what the true number is because, let's 51 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:13.800 face it, hospitals and doctors who perform these surgeries, they do not do 52 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:20.920 not enjoy malpractice lawsuits. So stuff happens, as we say, stuff happens, 53 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:28.360 And more than a million and a half people in the US suffer serious 54 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:33.560 outcomes of medical malpractice in the United States on an annual basis. And again 55 00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:43.279 that number is probably hugely, hugely underreported. Major complications that can develop following 56 00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.800 surgery you may be aware of, or maybe a family member of yours has 57 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:53.639 been a victim of in the past, from blood cloths to infections to heart 58 00:06:53.639 --> 00:07:03.360 attacks. I mean, this is a significant number of people dying unnecessarily taking 59 00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:10.120 chances that often they should not have taken, and doctors should not have talked 60 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:15.600 them into or advised them to do. And I'm talking about surgeries like hip 61 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:19.680 surgery, knee surgery, back surgery, neck surgery, prostate surgery, like 62 00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:30.720 our Defense Secretary of the United States is reeling from right now complications. Now. 63 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.120 I don't want to get into the MIA part of that. The Defense 64 00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:38.839 Secretary of the United States, Lloyd Austin, who went MIA and missing in 65 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:42.879 action for what four days before they found out that he was actually in Walter 66 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:48.040 Reed Hospital having or trying to recover from a surgery he probably didn't need. 67 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:58.920 And again I have to put my armchair quarterback contemplating surgeons had on here, 68 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:03.120 even though I'm not a surgeon ever was don't plan on it, but we 69 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:07.519 all are faced with that someday, sooner or later, most of us. 70 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:13.279 But he's still in the hospital from it. But there are planning of Americans 71 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:20.199 who have cosmetic surgery also who die or who are severely injured from elective surgeries 72 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:26.639 like cosmetic surgery, breast implants, facelifts, butt lifts. The list goes 73 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:31.120 on and on and on, and you might say, Wow, I don't 74 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:37.279 know anybody who's had complications from surgery, who have died. Elective surgeries, 75 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.320 surgeries that could have been put off should have been put off, Maybe they 76 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:46.960 shouldn't be performed at all, or we're optional but you may know some people. 77 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:52.799 Now. The only reason that we learned people in the news is usually 78 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:56.120 because they're celebrities, and we go, oh, gosh, honey, did 79 00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:05.799 you hear that Joan Rivers died? What the famous comedian Joan Rivers died? 80 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:13.200 This is years ago now. She died from minor surgery. Elective minor surgery. 81 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:18.519 It was all over the news for a while, Bill Paxton, Famous 82 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:26.000 Hector, Andy Worrel, Rod Serling, remember the Twilight Zone, June Carter 83 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:31.320 Cash, Bobby Dare and Emma Irma Bomback. The list goes on and on 84 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:37.200 of celebrities, and you might recognize some of their names. You won't hear 85 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:46.919 about Joe Sixpack or Sally Davis down the street. You won't hear about those 86 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:52.679 folks, the regular folks like us, if they're not famous, having died 87 00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:58.639 from an elective surgery, a surgery that should not have happened or there was 88 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:07.039 optional. But when you have family members or close friends, loved ones or 89 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:11.720 co workers who die from elective surgery or die after a surgery, they go 90 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.159 in like, for example, my grandmother, when I was twelve years of 91 00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:26.399 age, I had to painfully watch my grandmother who I was very close to 92 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:33.799 die as a result of pneumonia. She went in for hemorrhoids surgery. Now 93 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:39.919 you connect the dots there, hemorrhoids surgery leads to pneumonia, leads to death. 94 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.320 There's more. I will pick this up on the other side of this, 95 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:50.440 you won't want to miss it. We're going to get into the Secretary 96 00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:58.919 of Defense. Also, stay with us, it's the Doctor Bob Martin Show. 97 00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:03.279 If you're a big sports fan like me, sometimes the best part about 98 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:05.480 watching a football game are the pre and post game shows. Well, it's 99 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:11.240 the same for probiotics. The most important part of probiotics are the prebiotics and 100 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:15.960 post biotics that come along. Not all probiotics have this superior combination. That's 101 00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:20.120 why I only buy Doctor o'heres probiotics. You see, prebiotics feed the probiotic 102 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:26.200 colonies and your intestines, and post biotics are the organic nutrients produced by Doctor 103 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:31.039 o'heres three year fermentation process that become the foundation for long term colonization of the 104 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:35.440 good bacteria in your body. This is so important. No other probiotic formula 105 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.360 has this. As I get older, I want to protect my health the 106 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.519 best I can and use only the best supplements that are available, so score 107 00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:50.679 a touchdown for your health.

One health concern as we move toward and beyond the age of retirement 110 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.879 is fear of losing our vision and therefore the ability to remain independent. Most 111 00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:13.120 of us, at some point in time have uttered the words I'm not seeing 112 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:16.480 as well as I used to, or I think I need stronger glasses. 113 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:20.519 If you are nearing or past age forty, it's not your imagination that your 114 00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:26.519 vision is getting worse. What is likely causing your vision to deteriorate is cataract 115 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:30.559 formation.

We would appreciate that, and thank you again for 147 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:13.639 listening to the show today. Now, if you're just tuning into the program, 148 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:20.039 I'm going to be discussing shortly here the dilemma that we find ourselves in 149 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:28.080 as a nation. Because our Defense Secretary of the United States Lloyd Austin apparently 150 00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:37.320 remains in hospital as a result of a medical complication, and I think it's 151 00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:43.240 going on. Two weeks now, we had prostate surgery, which is a 152 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:46.320 whole deal. We will get into it a still two weeks later in the 153 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:52.279 hospital now, I started out saying that again, I'm not here to bash 154 00:15:52.759 --> 00:16:00.000 surgeons, dedicated men and women elective surgery. People choose to have elective surgery, 155 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:04.720 and doctors that are inclined to oblige. But there are a lot of 156 00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:12.759 people that die from these elective surgeries. It's somewhere between one hundred thousand to 157 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:21.639 two hundred thousand people per year. If you can wrap your brain around that 158 00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:26.600 that have elective surgeries, surgeries that should not have happened, could have been 159 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:30.799 put off, maybe something else could have been done instead of I mean, 160 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:33.519 there's a lot of reasons behind it. Doctors don't want these patients to die. 161 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:40.559 But when you're dealing with surgery, when you're dealing with the complicated human 162 00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:45.000 body and things that can go wrong and do go wrong, these kinds of 163 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:51.240 things occur, So you really need to contemplate. I think a lot of 164 00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:59.200 people have a very unrealistic expectation of having any form of surgery, believing that 165 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:03.960 nothing can go They go in and the ignorance is absolutely blissed. Their doctors 166 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.839 may have informed them, they may have signed off on a large form that 167 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:11.279 said, hey, yes, you can die from this. They don't care. 168 00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:15.920 They just do it because they have faith, confidence, and belief in 169 00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:18.400 the medical system that no matter what happens, it'll save them. Just in 170 00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:22.039 case the complication does happen, it'll save them. I mean, what could 171 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:26.319 go wrong? Go wrong? Go wrong, go wrong. Yeah, that's 172 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:33.559 sort of the belief that a lot of people have naive incredible stuff. Now, 173 00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.839 you may have a story yourself of a loved one who went in for 174 00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:44.480 some type of elective surgery and they died. You certainly can share with us 175 00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:48.200 that story here on the show. I'm happy to hear about it, and 176 00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:52.519 I think it will be instructive and help other people learn what to be careful 177 00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:57.680 of. And I know sometimes it's very emotional because if you're like me, 178 00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:03.799 you've had family members to have died from elective surgery that should not have happened. 179 00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:10.079 Before the break, I started to tell you that my grandmother, I 180 00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:18.799 think it was twelve or thirteen years of age, died suddenly from a complication 181 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:23.559 of going to hospital and having hemorrhoid surgery. She died in the hospital, 182 00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:30.000 and I watched her die day after day as she developed pneumonia in a hospital 183 00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:38.359 and basically drown in her own mucus as a result of hemorrhoid surgery somewhere in 184 00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:44.559 that hospital during the surgery, somewhere she was infected in the hospital. My 185 00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:51.480 dad also died as a result of an unnecessary surgery. Yeah, that's what 186 00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:56.319 happened many many, many years ago. God rest their souls. And you 187 00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:02.640 may have had family members in the same boat. We have a friend in 188 00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:08.440 the family right now, Bob m who's a fan, who's a friend of 189 00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:12.759 our family, who's in hospital right now, who went into a hospital to 190 00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:18.960 have a colonoscopy, and some light bulb came on at his doctor's head that 191 00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:22.400 said, you know what, while you're in here, Bob, let's do 192 00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:26.359 an endoscopy too. Let's take a look down in the other hole, the 193 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:33.960 other opening in your oral cavity, and let's take a let's stick a tube 194 00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.759 down there. Let's check you out. Now, we've got to go in 195 00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:40.880 both directions here and see what's going on. Well, they did that, 196 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:47.480 and in the process of doing the endoscopy down through his oral cavity's mouth throat, 197 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:52.319 they injured him. He went home, almost died, had to call 198 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:56.319 nine to one one go back to the hospital. Now he's still in the 199 00:19:56.359 --> 00:20:00.680 hospital going on two weeks, Lots of blood having to be on out on 200 00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:08.119 oxygen. Not good. These are just, you know, just a couple 201 00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:15.880 of examples of what could happen. And this is why when you have somebody 202 00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:21.400 close to you that is contemplating things, and depending on their age bracket, 203 00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:25.079 you know, as you age and you're older, things can go wrong even 204 00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:32.160 faster. And in this case, when we're speaking of the Defense Secretary of 205 00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:38.480 the United States still hospitalized as a result of a prostate problem, you got 206 00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:45.559 to give a hard look at his age because it's applicable. It's important to 207 00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:52.640 understand this. So many men will go into these surgical procedures. Mister Austin 208 00:20:52.799 --> 00:21:00.519 seventy years of age. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer early in December and 209 00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:10.160 had a prostectomy, which is a surgical removal of part or all of the 210 00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:15.920 prostate glenn he had. This occurred the surgery occurred on December twenty second, 211 00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:25.000 and about a week later after this surgery, which was an elective surgery. 212 00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:30.680 Now you can argue all kinds of things here with various in various directions. 213 00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:33.480 Well, you know, hey, look he had prostate surgery. Maybe he 214 00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:37.519 needed it, Doctor Bob, Well, that's it's possible. I don't know 215 00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:44.200 every nuance of his situation. I just can tell you because of my experience 216 00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:51.720 in practice and having been responsible for the health of over thirty thousand patients in 217 00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:57.319 my practice career, some of the stories would curl your toes and I don't 218 00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:03.200 have time to go over it necessary. We're zeroing in on somebody that's suffering 219 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:08.000 right now. That was basically ahead of the military in the United States, 220 00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:17.319 the Secretary of Defense, and this man went in for something that maybe he 221 00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:25.640 didn't need and he's still reeling from it now. Had Lloyd Austin been my 222 00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:30.559 father, he wouldn't have been there in the first place, because I would 223 00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:33.799 have said, look, Dad, you know prostate, let's fix you know, 224 00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:40.880 let's try to fix this non surgically. There's lots we can do to 225 00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:45.279 help him out in some manner alternatively, And I know that's armchair quarterbacking. 226 00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:48.839 I don't know all of the details, but I just know there are a 227 00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:55.039 lot of men who go in for elective prostate surgery who should not have ever 228 00:22:55.240 --> 00:23:00.039 done so because of the sheer fact that they were too old and the quality 229 00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:07.160 of their life would not change as a result of having elective prostate surgery. 230 00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:11.759 They would have outlived their prostate cancer. All men will get prostate cancer. 231 00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:18.480 The vast majority of men will get prostate cancer if they live long enough. 232 00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:27.359 It happens denye and middleignit. And there's been a big argument over the years 233 00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:33.400 in conventional medicine about this topic. Should we mess with these men, these 234 00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:37.599 older men who have prostate problems, who will probably outlive them. They're going 235 00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:41.319 to die of something. But should we mess with their prostate glands and destroy 236 00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:47.599 their quality of life or risk complication. There's a battle that goes on in 237 00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:53.160 conventional medicine over this. We'll talk further about this after the break. Don't 238 00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:59.920 go anywhere. You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show.

This should be a learning 296 00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:57.480 opportunity for you and others listening to the show who might hesitate on an elective 297 00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:00.960 surgery down the road by saying, you know what, I better see if 298 00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:07.680 there are any other options here, because I've heard that oh one hundred thousand 299 00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:12.640 to two hundred thousand people every year die from some type of medical complication elective 300 00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:18.119 surgery, and probably millions are injured and never write again as a result of 301 00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:21.759 this. Maybe I should think hard and long about this. Even though I 302 00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:25.839 have a lot of faith and confidence in my doctor or doctors and the medical 303 00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:29.359 system in general, and things probably can't go wrong, but hey, what 304 00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:32.039 happens if they do. I'm the one that's going to suffer from it, 305 00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:37.440 and I'm it may be lights out or I may be suffering for the rest 306 00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:41.960 of my life. We'll get back to the conversation about the Defense Secretary and 307 00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:48.160 his prostate dilemma voluntarily, but I want to also let you know we have 308 00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:52.640 a health phole question going on on my website today that love to get your 309 00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:57.400 opinion of. Right now, they are studying there's a big study going on 310 00:29:57.519 --> 00:30:07.319 right now of employees as to whether or not they should benefit by using their 311 00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:15.440 smartphones their cell phones during work, and we'll have the results of that. 312 00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:18.079 You know, do they benefit by it? Do they benefit by having their 313 00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:25.920 phones available so they don't develop anxiety at work? So here's the health poll 314 00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:30.119 question we have on my website at doctor Bob dot com. Spelling out the 315 00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:37.359 word doctor. Do you believe that allowing employees to use their personal smartphones or 316 00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:45.359 cell phones at work helps to reduce anxiety in those employees? Yes or no? 317 00:30:47.319 --> 00:30:49.279 There is a big study right now happening, and we'll tell you what 318 00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:52.920 or did happen.

Yes? 323 00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:19.279 Or no? And we'll talk about that next week and get our results. 324 00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:25.599 Now, before we get back to the conversation about mister Lloyd Austin, 325 00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:32.480 the Defense Secretary of the United States, who's still in hospital as a result 326 00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:41.400 of a medical complication from an elective surgery very likely, I wanted to also 327 00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.079 zero in on the fact that a lot of people are getting sick right now. 328 00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:48.319 I mean everywhere.

For many years in practice, 339 00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:59.000 I recommended propolis. I had learned that at symposiums and seminars given by 340 00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:06.720 researchers and who talked about the many numerous reasons why propolis has been used therapeutically 341 00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:12.079 as a natural supplement for a variety of conditions, from people who wanted to 342 00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:17.279 lower inflammation, as an antioxidant, as something that can fight back against bacteria 343 00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:23.359 and fungus and viruses, and modulate the immune system to benefit the person who 344 00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:30.920 may have an immune system that's not working optimally. This supplement, called Propolis 345 00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:37.240 Extract EP three hundred by Terry Naturally Vitamins, features a unique profile of compounds 346 00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:44.279 that show astonishing immune support power. Propolis, you must know, is produced 347 00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:52.039 by bees, yes, the buzzing bees. They produce propolis from plant materials 348 00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:59.559 they collect to protect their beehive from marauders that would want to get into the 349 00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:02.039 beehiveh to get the honey. That's what they do. They paste all this 350 00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:07.920 propylis throughout the hive and it shuts down the bacterial growth, the mold and 351 00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:14.480 also it's like almost like a natural antibiotic against the beehive that protects the honey 352 00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:19.639 and the queen bee. Stuff's amazing. You should know more about it, 353 00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:23.360 especially if you want to protect your immune system and your family's immune system. 354 00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:30.719 Look for Terry Naturally Vitamins unique Propolis Extract EP three hundred at Finer Health food 355 00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:37.159 stores.

All right, back to Defense Secretary 363 00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:22.800 Lloyd Austin's dilemma. It's been said and it's been arguing. We've been arguing 364 00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:27.320 about it in the healthcare field for many, many years. Should men be 365 00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:31.239 messed with if they're like sixty five years of age and older. Should we 366 00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:38.599 mess with their prostate glands at all surgically? It's controversial, folks, real 367 00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:45.639 controversial. And Lloyd Austin, because he's famous and because he's the Defense Secretary 368 00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:50.679 of the United States, it brings light to this again. We're going to 369 00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:53.360 talk further about that after this break. Do not go anywhere. I'm doctor 370 00:35:53.440 --> 00:36:00.760 Bob Martin. The number one health concern as we move toward and beyond the 371 00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:06.719 age of retirement is fear of losing our vision and therefore the ability to remain 372 00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:09.960 independent. Most of us, at some point in time have uttered the words 373 00:36:10.280 --> 00:36:14.440 I'm not seeing as well as I used to, or I think I need 374 00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:19.280 stronger glasses. If you are nearing or past age forty, it's not your 375 00:36:19.320 --> 00:36:22.960 imagination that your vision is getting worse. What is likely causing your vision to 376 00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:28.880 deteriorate is cataract formation. Cataracts occur when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy 377 00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:31.719 and blocks light from entering, which interferes with sharp, clear vision. A 378 00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:37.320 science based cataract reversal eye drop called can See is changing lives of people with 379 00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:43.800 poor vision caused by cataract.

Life would not exist 383 00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:01.800 if humans were unable to make nitric oxide within our blood vessel walls. There 384 00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:07.159 are many factors that reduce our ability to produce enough nitric oxide to enjoy optimal 385 00:37:07.199 --> 00:37:12.000 health. Contributors to the development of nitric oxide deficiency include consumption of sugar, 386 00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:15.519 unhealthy fats, inflammation, age, and unhealthy lifestyle. Here's the great news 387 00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:21.440 about re establishing optimal nitric oxide levels.

Lloyd Austin, the Defense Secretary of 412 00:39:25.639 --> 00:39:30.679 the United States, was diagnosed with prostate cancer early in December and had a 413 00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:37.519 prostaectomy, which is the surgical removal of part or all of this prostate gland. 414 00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:40.639 And on December twenty second, within a week of having that surgery, 415 00:39:40.679 --> 00:39:47.320 he was rushed to the ICU Intensive Care Unit in Maryland Walter reed I think, 416 00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:53.840 where he was admitted with a laundry list of symptoms in response to that 417 00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:59.840 surgery and subsequently diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. Mister Austin, by the 418 00:39:59.840 --> 00:40:04.440 way, is seventy years of age, and there's a large argument in medicine 419 00:40:04.440 --> 00:40:09.239 whether or not to mess with men that have prostate cancer, whether it be 420 00:40:09.239 --> 00:40:15.639 benign or malignant, when they're old, because they just don't have enough years 421 00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:22.519 left to say, look, it's applicable to do this. No, somebody 422 00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:25.440 is going to die of something. We're all dying of something, but it 423 00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:30.920 won't be prostate surgery. This man would probably outlive his prostate surgery. And 424 00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:36.119 again I don't know all the facts, but this is a general view that 425 00:40:36.519 --> 00:40:42.920 even conventional medicine has looked at and grapples with. So I mean, he 426 00:40:43.320 --> 00:40:49.679 was readmitted, by the way in having trouble because of nausea, severe abdominal 427 00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:52.360 pain, hip pain, leg pain, and he was diagnosed with the urinary 428 00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:57.000 track infection, So whatever it was going on with him had festered for a 429 00:40:57.039 --> 00:41:00.199 while after he had the surgery, and he was forced to go back. 430 00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:07.800 Now, apart from skin cancer, prostate cancer, which affects the part of 431 00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:14.760 the male reproductive system responsible for producing fluid that nourishes the transport system like sperm, 432 00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:22.119 is the most common cancer in American men secondary to skin cancer. Yet 433 00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:28.719 prostate cancer screening isn't a routine part of preventive care the way tests for many 434 00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:35.639 other cancers are. Prostate cancer screening trials have been quite controversial. A doctor 435 00:41:35.840 --> 00:41:44.800 Sandy Shrinivas, a Stanford Healthcare professor of urology, cites scientific data. She's 436 00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:51.519 saying, prostate cancer screening has been associated with prolonged lives, and I will 437 00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:59.719 add especially in seventy year old men, who are more likely to outlive the 438 00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:07.480 state cancer and die of something else. So she's saying, basically, these 439 00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:13.719 prostate screenings in older men has not been not been associated with prolonging their lives, 440 00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:17.639 and mister Austin is right in the pocket of that. But what happens 441 00:42:17.880 --> 00:42:21.199 is, you know, it's the old saying of put a hammer in a 442 00:42:21.239 --> 00:42:27.800 carpenter's hand and everything becomes a nail cut happy slicing and dicing. Surgeons often 443 00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:34.039 take a similar view about males with prostate cancer. Cut it out now, 444 00:42:34.159 --> 00:42:36.280 get it out now. We got to get that out now. And you 445 00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:39.760 know, it's a call to action, and they panic the patient over it, 446 00:42:39.880 --> 00:42:45.320 even if the benefits do not outweigh the risks. And again that's debatable. 447 00:42:45.840 --> 00:42:51.920 This is likely what occurred to the Defense Secretary of Lloyd Austin. Mister 448 00:42:51.960 --> 00:42:55.599 Austin nearly died as a result of these complications from the surgery that it was 449 00:42:55.639 --> 00:42:59.760 in the intensive care unit. You don't go there if there's not some serious 450 00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:04.000 proper the going on that should have not happened in the first place. And 451 00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:08.079 this type of activity happens every day by the hundreds of thousands here in the 452 00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:14.920 US, But you don't learn about it by watching TV because Joe Blow isn't 453 00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:20.800 the Defense Secretary of the United States. So how do you know if or 454 00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:25.039 when prostate screening is a good idea? Well, many prostate cancers grow slowly, 455 00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:30.480 very slowly, and don't spread beyond the prostate land. Many men also 456 00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:37.719 never experienced symptoms and without screening wouldn't know they have the disease anyway, and 457 00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:43.119 because of this, prostate cancer screenings are not recommended for men seventy years and 458 00:43:43.199 --> 00:43:49.679 older or men who are less who have less than ten years of life expectancy 459 00:43:49.719 --> 00:43:53.239 to begin with, because you're going down that slippery slope. The US Preventive 460 00:43:54.199 --> 00:44:00.840 Services Task Force also notes that there are potential harms in screening prostate cancer that 461 00:44:00.960 --> 00:44:09.559 should be weighed along with the benefits, like false positives where they falsely find 462 00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:14.880 somebody to have a problem that they start going after them overdiagnosis and overtreatment. 463 00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:22.719 Then you've got the financial burden of it all, and you, as you 464 00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:25.679 should ask the question, are these prostate exams one hundred percent accurate? No, 465 00:44:25.880 --> 00:44:30.599 the answer is no. There's no standard test for prostate cancer, but 466 00:44:30.679 --> 00:44:37.280 common screening methods include PSA, which has been argued should not be the measure, 467 00:44:37.199 --> 00:44:44.440 and digital rectal exams that happen. You only can feel a certain amount, 468 00:44:44.440 --> 00:44:46.920 but you can't tell of the prostate land itself, but you can't tell 469 00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:52.800 if they have cancer. So who should be screened well. The US Preventive 470 00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:58.719 Task Force is in the process of updating their recommendation on prostate cancer screening, 471 00:44:58.760 --> 00:45:04.920 but currently saying that at ages fifty five to sixty nine year olds may make 472 00:45:05.599 --> 00:45:12.119 the individual choice to undergo a PSA based screening, and that screenings offer a 473 00:45:12.400 --> 00:45:17.760 small potential benefit by reducing the chance of death from prostate cancer in some men. 474 00:45:19.079 --> 00:45:21.760 And of course what they're really saying is, look, men who have 475 00:45:21.840 --> 00:45:24.599 a long time they let's say they have their age forty and they have prostate 476 00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:29.960 cancer, and maybe they'll live another thirty or forty years. Yeah, that 477 00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:35.599 might be a look. See if you want to have prostate cancer surgery. 478 00:45:35.760 --> 00:45:43.159 But this is problematic. But what we're not doing here is we're not teaching 479 00:45:43.239 --> 00:45:47.800 men about what causes prostate cancer in the first place and what are some of 480 00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:52.800 the options. We will cover that briefly when we come back from this break. 481 00:45:52.880 --> 00:45:58.880 Stay tuned. It's the Doctor Bob Martin Show.

We've got a 523 00:49:30.159 --> 00:49:34.000 lot of things to talk about after this. Don't go anywhere, and if 524 00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:37.840 you're just tuning into the program, we have a health pole question going on 525 00:49:37.840 --> 00:49:40.960 on my website. It goes like this, do you believe allowing employees to 526 00:49:42.199 --> 00:49:45.760 use their personal smartphone at work helps reduce anxiety? Yes? Or no? 527 00:49:46.079 --> 00:49:50.559 Think about that? Think about that and vote on it. We'll have the 528 00:49:50.599 --> 00:49:59.719 results next week. Now I'm talking about Defense Secretary of Lloyd Austin's prostate calamity 529 00:50:00.719 --> 00:50:07.239 and being impossible learning opportunity for men who may fall into the same category. 530 00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:15.679 We know that diets matter when it comes to prostate cancer or prostate problems in 531 00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:24.599 men. One urologist at a reporter interviewed associated with mister Austin's situation. A 532 00:50:24.719 --> 00:50:29.800 urologist by the name of doctor Andrews's son said, and I quote, although 533 00:50:29.840 --> 00:50:37.039 doctors always recommend healthy diet, exercise, and lifestyle for all patients. And 534 00:50:37.119 --> 00:50:40.760 I looked at that, I thought, Nah, that's not true. This 535 00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:46.519 doctor says there are no specific foods that definitely lower the risk of prostate cancer. 536 00:50:47.440 --> 00:50:52.599 According to this neurologists, this is so patently false. We know that 537 00:50:52.639 --> 00:50:55.599 the Western diet high in fat, especially animal fat, including red meat and 538 00:50:55.639 --> 00:51:01.440 dairy foods. There is solid scientific research showing a connection between high fat diets 539 00:51:02.039 --> 00:51:08.400 and health conditions like prostate cancer. Plus, Western diets may boost the hormone 540 00:51:08.440 --> 00:51:15.400 testosterone, which scientists also link to certain forms of prostate cancer. The best 541 00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:23.719 thing patients can really do is really try to reduce prostate cancer by eating well, 542 00:51:23.880 --> 00:51:32.800 exercising, not doing unhealthy lifestyles. Even memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center suggested 543 00:51:32.840 --> 00:51:43.400 that prostate cancer may be considered a nutritional disease. A nutritional disease, so 544 00:51:43.440 --> 00:51:52.119 it's very important to understand that the defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, probably ate the 545 00:51:52.159 --> 00:51:57.800 standard American diet all his life, developed prostate cancer and had it for many, 546 00:51:57.800 --> 00:52:00.280 many years, and finally got out of control where it was impacting him 547 00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:06.400 symptomatically went to the doctor maybe and or he didn't, I don't know, 548 00:52:07.280 --> 00:52:12.920 and they saw a high PSA, which is the standard test. But sonograms 549 00:52:13.039 --> 00:52:17.679 ie ultrasounds are better to watch it over time. But unfortunately, because we 550 00:52:17.840 --> 00:52:22.400 as a society believe that surgery is a one hundred percent guarantee that we're going 551 00:52:22.440 --> 00:52:23.679 to come out the other end, good people go yeah, doc, go 552 00:52:23.679 --> 00:52:25.760 ahead, let's get it done. Just get it over with. I want 553 00:52:25.760 --> 00:52:31.519 to get it out of here. A careful observation would have been likely better 554 00:52:31.599 --> 00:52:36.840 for so many men who have found themselves in the same dilemma followed with a 555 00:52:36.840 --> 00:52:44.480 low fat diet, increasing their supplementation. Anything but what is going on today, 556 00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:45.360 We'll be right back. Stay with us.
