All right, 27 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:30.039 we also have a health pole question. We'll get to that shortly, 28 00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:35.919 but we begin this hour talking about all this plastic Have you heard all this 29 00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:44.800 microplastic in the environment that researchers are concerned about that we're ingesting plastic, these 30 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:50.479 plasticizers and plastics in our water bottles, plastic water bottles and foods, and 31 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.639 it's accumulating in the body and it's disrupting hormones. Well, here's the latest 32 00:02:53.680 --> 00:03:00.520 research. Researchers are finding plastic junk in men's testicles. New meaning to junk. 33 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:07.560 There, junken men's testicles. Whether it's our bloodstream, or brain or 34 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:16.360 lungs, These microscopic fragments of plastics seem to turn up every time scientists scour 35 00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:23.240 a new corner of the human body. The male reproductive organs are no exception. 36 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:30.120 New research published this month finds microplastics can build up in the testicles of 37 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:38.840 humans and dogs, raising more questions about the potential health impacts of these particles, 38 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:46.240 which ought not being the body they're petrochemical. Animal studies have shown exposure 39 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:51.960 to these microplastics within our food chain and water can impact sperm quality and male 40 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:59.039 fertility, but scientists are still in the early stages of translating this work to 41 00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.199 human health try to figure out what it means and what the implications are all 42 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:10.719 about. One of the lead researchers said, and I quote, microplastics are 43 00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:16.560 everywhere that according to doctor John You, a toxicologist in the College of Nursing 44 00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:23.839 at the University of New Mexico and lead author of the study I'm talking about 45 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:33.040 the quantification of those microplastics in humans is the first step to understanding its potential 46 00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:39.600 adverse side effects. That's according to doctor You, the toxicologist. When he 47 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:46.680 set out to do his study, Doctor You didn't expect microplastics would have penetrated 48 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:54.959 the male reproductive systems so extensively, given the tight blood tissue barrier around those 49 00:04:55.079 --> 00:05:02.199 organs. To his surprise, the research team unearthed a wide range and heavy 50 00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:11.720 concentration of microplastics in the testicles of about two dozen men and close to fifty 51 00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:20.480 dogs. The results may also be relevant to a well documented global decline in 52 00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:28.639 sperm count and other problems related to male fertility. This trend has been linked 53 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:34.240 to a host of environmental and lifestyle factors, including certain endocrine disrupting chemicals found 54 00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:43.040 in these plastics. The growing number of studies like this one are compelling and 55 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:48.360 should be a wake up call for policy makers. According to Tracy Woodroffe, 56 00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:56.560 director of the Environmental Research and Translational Translation for Health Center at the University of 57 00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:01.480 California, San Francisco, this is the law or just study of its kind 58 00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:09.439 to measure how much of these microplastics that penetrate the water, our food, 59 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:15.879 and even our air end up in the most intimate recesses of the male productive 60 00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:26.720 or reproductive anatomy male testicles. It follows a smaller analysis published last year by 61 00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:32.120 a team in China that detected microplastics in a half dozen human testicles and in 62 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:36.560 semen. For the current study, researchers at the University of New Mexico collected 63 00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:43.519 the testicles from autopsies of people ranging in age from sixteen years of age to 64 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:48.839 eighty eight years of age, from nearly fifty dogs as well after they were 65 00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:57.600 neutered at a local veterinarian clinics. Dogs can function as sentinel animals for disease 66 00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:03.360 and harmful chemical exposure because they're so embedded in the human environment. Plus, 67 00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:13.120 canine spermatogenesis is more similar to human process of producing sperm than labrats, and 68 00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:18.160 instead of trying to count each microplastical particle, the researchers were able to quantify 69 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:25.920 the total amount of plastic by dissolving all the biological tissue and separating out to 70 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:31.319 solnce about seventy five percent of what remained after they sort of cooked out the 71 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:41.839 tissue was plastic seventy five percent incredible. Polyethylene or PE made up the largest 72 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:46.199 portion of that. It's the most widely used plastic in the world, showing 73 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:53.240 up in packaging bags and any number of products. A doctor Camppen, a 74 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:57.439 professor the University of New Mexico College of Pharmacy and one of the authors of 75 00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:01.360 the study, said, and I quote obviously, little, tiny particles of 76 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:09.120 plastic can disrupt the way cells behave in the human being. Polyvinyl chloride, 77 00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:20.759 what's in PBC piping emerged as another prominent culprit and was the second most common 78 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:26.120 in dog testicles. Polyvinyl Chloride is classified as by the way as a carcinogen, 79 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.440 and long term exposure, for example in drinking water, can lead or 80 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:39.039 increase our risk of cancer. There was also an association between greater levels of 81 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:46.879 PBC and decreased weight of the testicles, the same it was seen in polyethylene 82 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:54.960 and another chemical and another one in these plastics, which recent research suggests may 83 00:08:54.000 --> 00:09:00.799 be harmful. Now what are the implications, Well, doctor you says the 84 00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:05.200 results are concerning, of course, and lay the foundation for more targeted studies 85 00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:11.720 on the relationship between these microplastic exposures we're getting bombarded with in the food, 86 00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:16.679 water, and air, and its potential impact on human reproductive human reproduction, 87 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:26.679 including sperm. An emerging body of evidence suggests that microplastics can have toxic effects 88 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:31.600 on our reproductive health, both male and females, but in this particular case, 89 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.399 they were looking at males. In the University of New Mexico study, 90 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:41.480 the concentration of microplastics in human testicles was on average three times higher than in 91 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:50.720 dogs, and the amount in the testicles is considerably higher than what was discovered 92 00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:58.440 in the placenta and second to what they observed in the human brain. Now 93 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:09.279 is showing these chemical plastic contaminants can affect the hormonal control of human reproduction at 94 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.759 different levels of the body, including the brain. I mean, folks, 95 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:18.000 this is just starting to come to the surface. We've been talking about microplastics 96 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.600 on this radio show since the very first time it was disclosed, and it 97 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.440 just seems like it just more and more information is being learned about this. 98 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:33.000 The takeaway is try to avoid using them, and it's almost it's near impossible 99 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.600 to not use something with plastic in it in a given day. But when 100 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:45.200 you can use glass or anything besides plastics, because we're just starting to learn 101 00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:48.360 about them. All right, We're going to come back and what we do, 102 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:50.919 we're going to have for you this week's installment of the Health Alternative of 103 00:10:50.960 --> 00:11:01.000 the Week.

Appreciate you telling other people about this program. Just to drop 145 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:28.440 down the call letters of the radio station you're listening to the frequency on the 146 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:31.120 die all time of the day. It just tells many people, so they 147 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:33.039 have the opportunity to tune into the show to learn all this stuff that they 148 00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:37.000 otherwise may not learn, and they will thank you for it. Plus, 149 00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:43.480 you and your friends or family members or coworkers have the opportunity to call in 150 00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:50.159 toll free to our toll free number and ask a health related question or make 151 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:54.919 a health related comment on something you've heard on the show or somewhere else. 152 00:14:54.399 --> 00:15:01.320 That number is eight hundred six zero six eighty eight one two eight hundred six 153 00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:07.759 zero six eighty eight twenty two. In fact, you'll hear my voice answer 154 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:13.960 the phone eight hundred six zero six eighty eight twenty two or the website doctor 155 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:18.279 Bob dot com spelling out the word doctor. And we have a health poll 156 00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:22.480 question. We're asking you to give us your opinion of everybody knows that fertilizer. 157 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:28.440 Everybody knows about fertilizer cole manure, chicken manure. When I was growing 158 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:31.399 up in the Midwest, it was used extensively. We used in our garden, 159 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.720 the farmers are using it. The darker it was and the more stinky 160 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:41.080 it was, it was great. You had vegetables on steroids almost they really 161 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:52.080 came up strong and healthy. Well, now scientists are recommending using urine as 162 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:58.559 a fertilizer, I kid you not, and so we're trying to get a 163 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:02.200 measure on whether you're going to be on board with that. So the health 164 00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:07.000 poll question on my personal website at doctor Bob dot com is would you be 165 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:15.279 willing to consume vegetables knowing human urine was used as a fertilizer? Yes or 166 00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:18.000 no, voted doctor Bob dot com. We'll have the results on the next 167 00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.120 show, so stick around for that. All right. Before we go back 168 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:27.279 to more phone calls and questions and news, we have this week's health alternative 169 00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:45.200 of the week. All right, So everybody knows it's barbecue season. We're 170 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:49.559 past Memorial Day and we're getting into the summer and people are going to be 171 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:55.240 out in the backyard and the barbie and they're barbecuing and you smell all the 172 00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:03.960 cooking flesh and grease wafting through the air, and it makes you hungry. 173 00:17:03.160 --> 00:17:11.160 And I want you to have a health conscious barbecue and ideas about healthy barbecuing. 174 00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:17.079 When we think of barbecues, of course, we think of holidays, 175 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:22.599 you know, Fourth of July, morral Day just passed, and we picture, 176 00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:26.759 of course, smoked meats, hamburgers, flipping on the barbecue, hot 177 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:33.400 dogs. All good, every family in the backyard. It's all great. 178 00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:40.720 However, these traditions are not the best for your health when they are done 179 00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:45.920 conventionally, because now we know, and this is of course, the message 180 00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:53.200 is for people who are regular barbecuers and we're out there flipping burgers and hot 181 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:59.359 dogs and all that grease is dripping down on the charcoal or the fire, 182 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:07.440 and then all the heterocyclic hydrocarbons are drifting up in the smoke and permeating the 183 00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:15.839 meat that you're about to eat. Those hydrocarbon elements do have a carcinogenic component 184 00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:23.640 to them. So I'm not a big fan of barbecuing traditionally, but I'm 185 00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:32.799 here to give you a healthier alternative to health conscious barbecuing ideas. Research suggests 186 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:38.559 that the high heat of barbecue grills can transform the proteins and the fats in 187 00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:44.359 meat into harmful compounds. We know this that is well established. And you 188 00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:47.000 know, having a barbecue once in a while no big deal. I mean, 189 00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:49.240 it's not going to bother you. If it's once in a while, 190 00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:56.039 like on a holiday, and then you dust off the barbecue grill again for 191 00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:57.079 the next holiday, it's not going to be any big deal. But you're 192 00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:06.559 going to still get these procyclic hydrocarbons if you're dripping fat and dripping proteins, 193 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:11.559 amino acids and meats onto the fire itself or the charcoals and it's coming back 194 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:18.200 up into the meat and smoking it basically. And also if many of these 195 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:25.160 barbecues barbecued foods contain nitrites and night traits preservatives which can also have certain health 196 00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:32.480 risks. So the key is maybe experimenting as a health alternative with different foods, 197 00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.559 bringing some excitement to the barbecue, something different, keeping it delicious of 198 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:44.759 course, at the same time with health conscious alternatives and here are a few. 199 00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:48.599 That's why it qualified as the Health alternative of the week. A health 200 00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:56.319 conscious barbecue in ideas like putting veggies, more veggies on the barbie. The 201 00:19:56.440 --> 00:20:03.720 colorful veggies like bell peppers and eggplants and zucchinis, and leafy greens like maybe 202 00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.559 kale are great for grilling. If you haven't tried it, you should, 203 00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:11.559 And maybe some dash of olive oil or your favorite herbs over the top of 204 00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:19.519 them. Or how about a health conscious barbecue that includes seafood, maybe some 205 00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:26.119 delicious wild caught salmon that's an excellent source of lean protein, of course, 206 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:30.799 and then you get the Omega three fatty acids, the healthy oils in your 207 00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:34.319 diet. We need more of those, that's for sure, and you can 208 00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:44.319 barbecue that. You also have the opportunity as a healthier alternative during barbecue season 209 00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:51.440 to barbecue plant based meats. I mean, doctors are even starting to say, 210 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:55.480 look, you need more fiber in your diet, less saturated fats, 211 00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:59.720 because these fibers that we get in the plant foods that we eat help to 212 00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:04.720 make friendly bacteria in the gut. They also help the transit time of the 213 00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:10.480 debris that we digest, and we should eliminate as soon as possible, creating 214 00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:15.160 peristaltic activity, the movement of the musculature of the bowel to move the waste 215 00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:19.000 material out so we don't become constipated. And if you're not having at least 216 00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:26.119 two ball movements a day, you are constipated or subclinically constipated. I mean 217 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:29.000 think about it sort of like birds, they eat, they drop, they 218 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:30.200 eat, they drop, Well, human beings, it should be the same 219 00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:34.680 way you eat, you should drop as in fegal matter. And if you're 220 00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:38.559 not having you know, I mean a minimum of one ball mom of today, 221 00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:44.079 but two is optimal. Three would be ideal. And people say, 222 00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:45.799 oh, I've never had that in my life. Well, maybe you need 223 00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:49.799 some help. How about more fiber in your diet? Plant based meats You 224 00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:57.559 can consider veggie burgers or you can grill tofu skewers, a fantastic alternative for 225 00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:04.480 vegetarians or those looking to reduce meat consumption. And I think we should. 226 00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:08.960 I think Americans eat way too much meat. And then you get all the 227 00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:15.039 antibiotics from those animals, or you get the bovine growth hormone they've been shot 228 00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:22.039 up with, or other things. Yes, you can find organic meats at 229 00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:26.920 like natural grocer's stores if you happen to have one in your community, and 230 00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:30.279 that would be good. But if you don't, you can always use lean 231 00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:33.200 meats. That's what you want to go for, the leaner meats. Instead 232 00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:41.359 of focusing on traditional fatty cuts, why not try grilling like boneless, skinless 233 00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:47.680 chicken breasts or have you even ever had a turkey burger. You would be 234 00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:52.519 surprised how good they are. And you can get organic ground turkey in a 235 00:22:52.640 --> 00:23:00.680 conventional grocery store and they are fantastic, plenty of protein without the extra sagurated 236 00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:06.480 fat. Marinate them in lemon juice, herbs and spices to pack them with 237 00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:10.519 extra flavor, and don't forget the dessert. You can even grill fruits on 238 00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:17.240 the barbecue, like pineapple, peaches, watermelon slices, so you have lots 239 00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:26.079 of options. These are delicious at the end of a barbecue. So there 240 00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:33.359 you have it, the healthier alternative of the week with respect to barbecuing. 241 00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:40.319 Get started and you can find a lot of these fresh organic foods at natural 242 00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:45.720 grocery stores nationwide.

She's don't come on each time for the health outrage 298 00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:33.400 because it's nothing, but it is outrageous, and you know it's time now. 299 00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:41.279 Of course, by now, people are already dusting off their swimsuits and 300 00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:45.240 they're hitting the beaches, they're hitting the rivers, they're hitting the lakes, 301 00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:49.440 but many of them are hitting the beach and this health outrage would be sort 302 00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:56.359 of like stink or Swim named stink or Swim over half listen to this outrage. 303 00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:03.720 Over half of US beaches contain unsafe level of feces, troubling report fines. 304 00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:07.799 So how bad is the problem in your area? Is the question? 305 00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:15.079 Well, more than half of America's beaches contain potentially dangerous levels of feces, 306 00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:23.519 according to a new report described as troubling by experts. Testing carried out at 307 00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:33.440 more than three thousand beaches across the country's coastlines showed that fifty five percent had 308 00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:40.279 unsafe levels of sewage in their waters on at least one day last year. 309 00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:48.119 One in nine beaches had persistently unsafe levels last year. Experts around or experts 310 00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:53.640 say that around one in thirty people who swim in sewage contaminated water are at 311 00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:57.559 high risk of getting sick, either by swallowing the water, which can lead 312 00:29:57.599 --> 00:30:03.000 to stomach problems, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, vomiting, and other infections. 313 00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:12.160 Southern states along the Gulf coast area, including Florida, Texas, Louisiana, 314 00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:18.759 were the worst affected, with eighty four percent of their beaches having at least 315 00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:26.079 one day when the water was contaminated with feces a year or two ago. 316 00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:32.920 Americans make four hundred million visits to the beach each year, according to the 317 00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:41.480 United States Life Saving Association. Colorado based pressure group Environmental America compiled the data 318 00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:49.559 as part of its annual Safe for Swimming Report Now in twenty twenty, the 319 00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:55.720 group estimated that fifty three percent of beaches had potentially unsafe levels of feces in 320 00:30:55.799 --> 00:31:02.839 their water at least once in a while. And these numbers, ladies and 321 00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:10.000 gentlemen, are crazy numbers. When you hear about stuff like this, you 322 00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:15.119 don't want to go near the ocean. And it's bad. And it's sad 323 00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:19.759 because it's such a beautiful thing, the beaches and the ocean, and you 324 00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:26.200 shouldn't have that kind of inclination to be afraid of it because for fear, 325 00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:30.079 and you read once in a while on the late night news, you'll hear 326 00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:36.359 about, you know, needles and stuff washing up on the shore. But 327 00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:42.880 when you see that over half of beaches in the United States contain these kinds 328 00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:45.880 of things once in a while, it gives you pause to even want to 329 00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:52.720 go to the beach. And it's time that we do something about it. 330 00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:56.119 It's time that we figure something out on this. And I can't tell you 331 00:31:56.119 --> 00:32:02.000 why because it's very complicated, but there's got to be a breaking point here 332 00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:07.200 where people decide have had enough. My beautiful beach and the water that comes 333 00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:15.799 to it from the ocean is being polluted. Oregon had the most polluted beaches 334 00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:21.160 in the United States, by the way, with half of its counties three 335 00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:28.039 of six having beaches that were too dirty for swimming for six to twelve months 336 00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:35.359 of the year. That is incredible. Beaches surrounding the Great Lakes like those 337 00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:42.079 in Wisconsin and Illinois were the third most polluted, with sixty three percent having 338 00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:45.640 feces detected at least once last year. Maybe what we need to do is 339 00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:52.559 figure out why all this stuff is flowing into the water waters like they are, 340 00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:58.000 and find a way to rain that in or put greater penalties on people 341 00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:02.480 who allow that or are participating it. But in any event, no matter 342 00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:07.079 how you slic or dice it, it's the health outrage of the week, 343 00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:15.599 all right now, Then let's get to right away before we let time get 344 00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:20.119 away from us, to the product recall of the week. The product recall 345 00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:29.000 of the week, Here we go.

You may have 349 00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:58.039 purchased it a while ago, and they're now doing And I've never seen one 350 00:33:58.039 --> 00:34:02.160 of these rennouncements of a which means that they recalled it a while back and 351 00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:07.519 now they're re announcing it because maybe people didn't get the memo. The hazard, 352 00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:10.440 of course, has to do it. Depending on the model. The 353 00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:19.440 surface heating element can turn on spontaneously without being switched on, failed to turn 354 00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:24.199 off after being switched off, and heat to a different temperature than what's being 355 00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:30.199 selected, and of course this poses a major fire hazard and burn hazard to 356 00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:39.400 consumers. They've had hundreds of reports that the electra Lux electric ranges have been 357 00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:46.320 problematic, people being hospitalized with injuries and burns to their hands and arms and 358 00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:52.280 also as smoke inhalation.

So these ranges have been out there and been in action for 362 00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:20.719 quite some time, but they are still finding injuries occurring, which means that 363 00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:23.239 people just didn't get the announcement, they didn't learn about the recalls, and 364 00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:28.360 so that's why they are re announcing it. And they had over two hundred 365 00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:35.559 thousand of these babies sold. And interestingly enough, and this is almost like 366 00:35:35.719 --> 00:35:40.559 rare, they were manufactured in the United States and not Jina. That's a 367 00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:45.880 rarity.

Nine Jack in the Box. The chains ground beef 424 00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:45.679 received an F food grade.

Three Taco Bell The ground beef 435 00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:35.119 used in their tacos contains only eighty eight percent beef, with the rest being 436 00:41:35.159 --> 00:41:39.119 fillers like phosphates and oats.

Next up, 444 00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:17.159 we say hello to Margaret calling in from Hillsdale, California. My question is 445 00:42:17.400 --> 00:42:30.840 can you address SCT or PRP in lieu of total knee joint replacement and it's 446 00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:37.800 it's a waste of money considering either of those two things. Thank you very 447 00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:45.360 much. I'd appreciate hearing your answer to the question. All right, Margaret, 448 00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:49.719 thank you for your phone call shoe the initial shoes using a stem cell 449 00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:55.400 treatment PRP platelet ridge plasma. These are treatments that are now being used and 450 00:42:55.480 --> 00:43:04.079 I might add used successfully for people who are diagnosed with having joint problems who 451 00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:09.880 are facing total joint replacement, and more and more joint replacements are happening in 452 00:43:09.920 --> 00:43:15.639 the United States. The orthpedic surgeons are really it's a heyday out there and 453 00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:21.440 there. It is true that some joint replacements are necessary. People just wait 454 00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:24.840 way too long before doing something about the pain in their hip or the pain 455 00:43:24.880 --> 00:43:30.199 in their knee, which should be addressed on what's causing it. What can 456 00:43:30.239 --> 00:43:37.000 you do to reduce that imbalance within the knee or the hip that's causing the 457 00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:42.960 deterioration before it gets to bone on bone. So yes, Margaret, I'm 458 00:43:43.000 --> 00:43:51.599 a big fan of stem cell treatments or these PRP plate the rich plasma injections, 459 00:43:51.679 --> 00:43:55.440 anything before joint replacement, anything you can do would be conservative compared to 460 00:43:55.480 --> 00:44:00.960 a total joint replacement, even though it might be necessary and it has changed 461 00:44:00.280 --> 00:44:04.519 the lives of a lot of people who are suffering up before doing it. 462 00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:09.599 But it doesn't come without risks. There are many risks associated with including having 463 00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:15.119 to have a revision done down the road again. So yes, explore stem 464 00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:22.280 cell treatment injections to try to help regenerate or restart the cartilage growth between the 465 00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:28.280 bones. Try the platelet rich plasma, Try the supplements that have glucosamine and 466 00:44:28.360 --> 00:44:35.719 chondroit and hyaluronic acid. Try taking extra vitamin C. Making sure also if 467 00:44:35.719 --> 00:44:39.880 you have joint problems, you manage the biomechanical portion of that that may have 468 00:44:40.039 --> 00:44:45.400 led up to it. So many people walk around with their pelvis out of 469 00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:49.400 balance, one leg is short, one leg is long because their hips are 470 00:44:49.559 --> 00:44:54.679 misaligned, their knees are misaligned, and they ought to be seeing a chiropractic 471 00:44:54.840 --> 00:45:00.920 physician for a forty thousand mile tune up on a RAI regular basis that would 472 00:45:01.039 --> 00:45:07.159 help prevent a lot of these hip joint replacement problems and knee joint replacement issues. 473 00:45:08.119 --> 00:45:14.199 As well as having other forms of physical mechanical treatment massage therapy, acupuncture, 474 00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:20.239 of physical therapy, exercise. These are all important things for proper biomechanics 475 00:45:20.360 --> 00:45:23.280 that most Americans don't know enough about because their doctors aren't telling them to do 476 00:45:23.519 --> 00:45:29.199 that. And you should, I mean you balance the alignment of your car 477 00:45:29.360 --> 00:45:34.480 in order to save your tires. But yet we're not told about our bodies. 478 00:45:36.199 --> 00:45:40.599 So yet, Yes, Margaret, try anything besides joint replacement for a 479 00:45:40.719 --> 00:45:45.480 while and give it a proper chance, because having a joint problem is not 480 00:45:45.639 --> 00:45:51.760 life threatening. It's just painful and it's life limiting. Great question. Thank 481 00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:53.559 you for your phone call. We'll be right back.

The number one health concern as 508 00:48:01.679 --> 00:48:06.800 we move toward and beyond the age of retirement is fear of losing our vision 509 00:48:07.039 --> 00:48:10.519 and therefore the ability to remain independent. Most of us, at some point 510 00:48:10.559 --> 00:48:15.400 in time have uttered the words I'm not seeing as well as I used to, 511 00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:19.719 or I think I need stronger glasses. If you are nearing or past 512 00:48:19.800 --> 00:48:23.920 age forty, it's not your imagination that your vision is getting worse. What 513 00:48:24.119 --> 00:48:29.719 is likely causing your vision to deteriorate is cataract formation. Cataracts occur when the 514 00:48:29.800 --> 00:48:32.599 lens of the eye becomes cloudy in blocks light from entering, which interferes with 515 00:48:32.719 --> 00:48:37.679 sharp, clear vision. A science based cataract reversal eye drop called can See 516 00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:43.440 is changing lives of people with poor vision caused by cataract.

Would you be willing to consume vegetables knowing human urine was used as 524 00:49:38.639 --> 00:49:44.199 fertilizer?

Spelling out the word doctor D O 527 00:49:51.079 --> 00:49:53.519 C T O R Bob dot com. Time now, ladies and gentlemen for 528 00:49:53.599 --> 00:50:01.559 the Health Mystery of the Week. Man, this has got to be one 529 00:50:01.599 --> 00:50:07.400 of the strangest shows I've done in a long time. Talking about urine as 530 00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:13.159 fertilizer, plastic intesticles. I mean, wow, never done any of any 531 00:50:13.320 --> 00:50:15.280 like that before, But news happens. What can I say? The Health 532 00:50:15.360 --> 00:50:23.800 Mystery of the Week also move out of the way men. Cows prefer to 533 00:50:23.920 --> 00:50:30.880 be cuddled by women. Mysteriously enough, They're not the first animal that springs 534 00:50:30.920 --> 00:50:37.159 to mind when considering cuddle therapy, but cuddling cows could be an effective way 535 00:50:37.239 --> 00:50:40.079 to soothe stress and anxiety, especially if you're a woman. According to a 536 00:50:40.159 --> 00:50:47.920 brand new study, researchers recruited eleven participants and two Holstein bulls called Magnus and 537 00:50:49.199 --> 00:50:52.079 Callum to take part in their study. The cows spent forty five minutes of 538 00:50:52.199 --> 00:50:59.760 contact time with each person and often smelled or licked them and accepted food from 539 00:50:59.840 --> 00:51:05.480 them. They also allowed physical interaction in the form of hugs, grooming, 540 00:51:05.639 --> 00:51:10.400 petting, and kisses. The animals rarely made unfriendly or aggressive gestures towards them, 541 00:51:10.960 --> 00:51:17.119 though they would occasionally decline to interact. All participants reported having an overall 542 00:51:17.280 --> 00:51:24.480 positive session with cows, and most stated they would recommend cow therapy to a 543 00:51:24.639 --> 00:51:32.360 friend. I kid you not. Analysis also revealed the cows showed a strong 544 00:51:32.679 --> 00:51:43.119 preference for interactions with women compared to men, and it turns out women reported 545 00:51:43.199 --> 00:51:52.360 stronger attachment behaviors towards cows. Now, that is a mystery that we cannot 546 00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:59.920 explain, cannot understand, but it certainly was a study that was done at 547 00:51:59.920 --> 00:52:09.280 the University New York University where they discovered that the bovine assisted therapy was an 548 00:52:09.320 --> 00:52:17.280 effective treatment for humans who were participating in the study, but the cows definitely 549 00:52:17.519 --> 00:52:23.079 preferred to be cuddled by women versus men across the board. We don't know 550 00:52:23.159 --> 00:52:28.119 why, but that's why it qualified as the health Mystery of the week. 551 00:52:28.920 --> 00:52:30.679 All Right, we've come to the end of the show. I thank you 552 00:52:30.800 --> 00:52:34.599 so very much for tuning into the program until we speak again the next time. 553 00:52:34.960 --> 00:52:37.840 Make it a healthy day and a healthy week.
