Ye, yes it is, and I want to disclose to you that you've
entered a healing zone. We're in special. People tune in each week to

to get healthy and how to stay healthy. Naturally Welcome, welcome everyone to
this hour of the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm Doctor Bob and my encouragement
to you is to become for you to become your own best doctor. Most
of the time, that's my goal because when you do, when you take
more charge of your health and responsibility for it, you're going to be better
off in general with your most precious possession, your health. All Right,
we're going to begin this hour talking about belly buttons are navels. What your
belly button reveals about your health A little bit different type of topic. Most
of us probably don't give our belly button a second thought. However, that
little skinfold could be a host for infections, cysts, and even hernias that
you are completely unaware of. That's what experts are suggesting. Doctor Dan Bombguart,
a neuroscientist and physiologist at the University of Bristol, points out that the
belly button, known medically as the navel, has more depth to it than
just a few millimeters. The belly button is a remnant of the umbilical cord,
which connects of fetus to its mother during pregnancy, and there are many
variations, but the two main groups of belly buttons, as many of you
know, are either oudies a bulging belly button you've seen them, or innies
where the belly buttons go way deep and some not so deep. Roughly ten
percent of people around the world have audies outi belly buttons, meaning their belly
button is protruding well. The remainder about ninety percent of people have innies.
What is yours? I'll tell you I have an inny. I have a
slight innie. And the more it goes in usually the fatter your abdomen is,
or the more adipacity you have. So you want to keep that abdomen
nice and tight and firm. You want that six pack or twelve pack or
whatever, and you'll you'll have less of an inny. While the belly button
has no function after birth, subtle changes to the way it appears could be
an indicator that something is wrong with your health. One of these indications,
according to doctor Bombguard Notes, is an umbilical hernia, which occurs when part
of the intestines bulge through the belly button, literally through the abdominal wall because
there's a tear there. This cause is swelling or a bulge coming out of
the navel and that's why we should constantly surveil our bodies, because when you
don't, and let's say you have the beginnings of a umbilical hernia on the
side of that belly button, and it just keeps tearing and tearing and tearing
and gets bigger and bigger and bigger. By the time that abdominal wall gets
so torn, it may be required to have some type of a surgical intervention.
You don't want that. And maybe it was the sit ups doing them
incorrectly, or the abdominal crunches that you were doing down at the gym,
or something else you were doing in your abdomen to try to reduce that sugar
goiter that's hanging out there that's exacerbating or tearing at this abdominal wall that actually
caused it, and you may have to modify your behavior. And that's why
it's important to constantly check yourself out. Now. These are usually harmless,
these tiny little umbilical tears or hernias, mainly affecting infants, though they are
also the second most common hernia in adults. Being overweight or having multiple pregnancies
can also increase the risk of adult developing these umbilical hernias, primarily due to
strain and just bulging, excess pressure in the area, and weakness within the
walls of the abdominal area. Most of the time, no treatment is necessary,
though the hernia may need to be surgically removed if it causes pain or
blocks the intestine, because it can squeeze the intestine and cause that intestine to
die. That's a surgical emergency. You don't want that. You definitely don't
want that. Most people are more worried about them from a cosmetic standpoint,
though. Doctor Baumgart also pointed out and pointed to a rare complication called Sister
Mary Joseph's nodule, which is named after a nun who discovered that many patients
with late stage cancer had swelling or a nodule near their belly button. This
can be a sign that a patient's cancer has spread or become more advanced.
Called Sister Mary Joseph's nodule, Wow named it after the nun. That's interesting.
It's not seen as common these days since more cancers are now diagnosed earlier
before extensive spreading occurs. Another unusual condition to catapult this condition is called Medusa's
head, also called a palm tree sign. This is a network of painless
swollen veins around the belly button. So look in the mirror if you can't
see it from above, look in the mirror and see if you can see
any kind of blood vessels or veins popping out or in and around that area
that you didn't notice before, or have somebody look at it for you,
and you're looking for like a sort of like a black or blue bruising effect
in and around the belly button. This is caused by portal hypertension portal hypertension,
which is high blood pressure in the portal vein. The portal vein carried
blood carries blood from the liver from the intestines, gall bladder, pancreas,
and spleen. The liver then processes nutrients in the blood and sends it to
the heart and Medusa's head. That's what it's called the condition. Medusa's head
on its own is not a disease, though it is thought that it's usually
a sign of some type of liver scarring, also referred to as cirrhosis of
the liver, so that can cause what is referred to as Medusa's head or
also called a palm tree sign a network of painless, swollen veins around your
belly button. You could see black and blue in that area, so check
it out. Now, the scarring makes it harder for the blood to flow
through the veins through the livers veins, causing a build up in the portal
vein and flow to nearby veins near the belly button. Now this enlarges the
blood vessels into a Medusa like pattern. The belly button can also harbor infections,
especially if you have in any type style of belly button. This fold
can trap moisture, can trap debris. Many of you are also constantly digging
lint out of that area, and some people dig this gross looking cheese out
of there. In warm environments, it's just prime area for bacteria to grow
in and any type of a belly button, so it's a good, good
idea to keep an eye on that. Sometimes it's so bad, I'm not
kidding you that some people will go into an emergency room and they go,
yeah, I've got pain in my belly button, and the smell coming out
of the belly button where that infection is just about knocks over the emergency people
in the emergency room who we're trying to check it out. They get to
get their mask on and hope for the best. Signs of an infection in
the belly button include redness, pain, swelling, foul smell, and puss
and other fluids leaking out. You don't want any of that for sure,
so pay attention to your belly button. Check it out as you would check
out anything about your body, so that if there is a problem, you
can report it to your health care provider and or take care of it yourself.

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.

people with poor vision caused by cataract. Learn more about can See eye drops

the time of the day, and pass it on to as many people as
you can so they too can tune in and learn more about their most precious
possession, their health. All right, now, we're going to turn to
another topic, and that is horrifying side effects of drug taken by forty five
million Americans. We became asexual after taking antidepressant drugs for a few weeks.
Now, our genitals have shrunk, and we're worried about we'll never have sex
again. Patients left sexless, joyless, and infertile after taking antidepressants are speaking
out, ladies and gentlemen about what they are calling a silent health crisis.
So many people are taking antidepressant drugs. I don't know if you've noticed this
or not. These drugs have been around for a long long time. The
first selects serotonin reuptake inhibitor drug SSRI drug for short, Prozac, was approved
by the US Food and Drug Administration FDA in nineteen eighty seven and was introduced
into the United States in nineteen eighty eight. Well, investigative reporters heard from
many people across the United States, Canada, and Europe about the devastating symptoms
they claim have persisted years after they stopped taking common prescribed antidepressant drugs known as
select serotonin reuptake inhibitor drugs or SSRI drugs. And we're talking about some of
the most popular drugs that are used in the antidepressant category, drugs that include
Prozac, packsil, Louvax, Selexa, Lexapro, and Zoloff. Now,
you may not be on one of these drugs maybe you are, but I'll
bet somebody you know is on one of these drugs and they may be suffering
in silence in terms of having these horrifying side effects. These drugs are taken
by forty five million Americans on a regular basis. And here's another person weighing
in on it. Maxwell age twenty four, from Ohio, said he has
been robbed of his vitality and confidence since he came off Prozac that his doctor
prescribed as an antidepressant, one of the most popular of the SSRI family,
two years ago he got off of it. He has struggled to get and
maintain an erection and is completely indifferent towards sex now, which has made it
hard to hold down a stable romantic relationship for him. Or here's another person
talking about it, reporting it to investigative reporters. Lexi Leos, twenty six,
from the District of Columbia, claimed that taking Prozac for just a few
days caused her genitals to shrink, and they've still not returned to normal for
years years later. She fears she will never be able to share an intimate
relationship with someone again as a result of taking this antidepressant, one of the
more popular ones called prozac. Now. Their shrinking accounts come on the heels
of a lawsuit filed by doctors against the FDA, the Food and Drug Administration,
accusing the FDA the agency of failing to adequately warn patients of sexual side
effects that can last long after they stop taking the drugs. And that's part
of the problem. I mean, when somebody goes to a doctor's, Oh,
doctor, I'm just having so much trouble in my life. I'm sad,
I'm blue, life's a beach, I can't get ahead. I've got
that. Oh I'm good up. I can fix you up. Sounds like
you're depressed. You have all the classic signs of depression. I've got this
wonderful drug that will solve it for you. You down for that, and
the patient says, doc ya anything, and then they prescribe the drug.
But the question becomes, they haven't solved their problem by taking the drug.
How does that solve the problems that created the depression in the first place,
or the anxiety? How does that solve it? Because when that drug wears
offer, when the day you decide to stop it, that problem is going
to come back because you haven't solved it. And I'm not saying to stop
your drugs here. Do not believe that I'm telling you to stop an antidepressant
drug. If you happen to be on one, that is something you'll have
to take up with your doctor or your pharmacist. Now, the FDA has
mandated for decades that SSRI makers include a label warning telling users they may cause
the drugs that is, may cause erect out as function, low libido,
vaginal dryness, and trouble orgasmin We're talking about the drugs SSRI drugs, selective
serotonin reuptake inhibitor drugs like Prozac and zoloft, Paxel, selects, lexapro,
all of those drugs, and people don't even consider that that could be the
problem. If they say, well, shoot, if it takes scare of
them, my depression, all everything gets better. No, it's it's a
risk. The average drug, ladies and gentlemen, the average drug has seventy
five or seventy or seventy five different potential adverse side effects. Now, doesn't
affect everybody this way, No, but you never know who's going to be
and you never think about that when you take the drug because you're trusting your
doctor. You're believing in the doctors doing the right thing on your behalf.
And that could be true or not true. But thousands of former patients say
the symptoms persist long after the use of these drugs, and according to a
lawsuit, the FDA dragged its feet in addressing their petition to attach warnings to
antidepressants about permanent zapped libido and fertility issues. One of the people said,
I've been chemically castrated, quoting them, I've been chemically castrated. Anxiety patient
thirty three years of age warns men against ssripills that stripped his hyper sexual libido
and made him suicidal. Post meaning after SSRI Sexual dysfunction or PSSD has been
acknowledged by the Canadian government and the European Medical Agency since twenty eighteen. The
impact of these drugs are profound. They can affect your physical health and your
mental health and your emotional well being. It is difficult to overstate how demoralizing
it is for some of these patients to live with these conditions that they figure,
well, okay, I've got you know, I've got the condition as
a result of the drug. I'll just stop it and the problem will go
away. No, many of them, it just persists because it's messed up
their whole serotonin and their brain chemistry somehow. And so this is one of
those issues with buyer beware. Buyer beware. You've got to do that.
You've got to be careful and understand this, and there are some options.
There are options that you may want to consider when it comes to, you
know, feeling blue, feeling down, feeling depressed, feeling like things just
aren't going your way. Besides believing that there's a pharmaceutical answer. If you
want to take pharmaceuticals, that's your choice. You have that choice, but
you also have the choice to reject it and look for other healthier, safer
options long term, which I will talk about after this short break. So
stay right where you are and we will finish up on this when we come
back. You're tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin Show. The number one health

I've been talking about this problem with these horrible side effects that the drugs in
the class of ssr I drugs select serotonin reuptakeing hibitor drugs also referred to as
ssr I drugs for short, talking about Prozac and Zoloff and lexapro and all
of those rus how they are creating problems. The FDA is being sued now
for not putting proper labeling on these drugs because so many of the users have
come back and had problems even after they stop taking the drugs. And again
I want to point out. I'm not telling you to stop drugs. That's
what I do. This is something you have to do with your doctor's guidance
or with a pharmacist guidance. I'm just warning you about this. People get
caught off guard because they get on these drugs and they trust their doctors,
and they believe in their doctors, so they think, oh, you know,
no problem, it must be safe. Gosh, my doctor's recommending it.
But these serotonin drugs can impact your hormone levels, including your estrogen,
your testosterone, which are connected to all kinds of parts of your body,
and estimated fifty eight to seventy percent of antidepressant users experience some form of sexual
side effect, such as low libido. Here's another person, twenty six years
of age, stopped taking prozac after just three days of taking it. She
said, and I quote the first thing that I really noticed after taking it.
It's just like where your gentle where your genitals kind of shrink to one
degree or another. Her saying this, she added that while she still may
feel attracted to a member of the opposite sex, the sexual urge do not
appear as a result of taking this class of drugs. It's not on the
label. Doctors aren't worrying about this. FDA's being sued over it. It
comes as doctors are doling out prescriptions for depression medications at rates never seen before.
At least six point five million teenagers and at least thirty eight million adults
have a prescription for an antidepressant in the United States. That is embarrassing.
We are the most drugged nation on the planet and we're one of the sickest
ones. What's wrong with this picture? But none of those labels on these
drugs is class of antidepressant drugs. SSRIs warn that these sexual side effects could
last for years after the person stops taking the drug. In Canada health regulators,
they're acknowledged back in twenty twenty one that these side effects can last for
years. Now, you need to know that ninety five percent of the body's
serotonin production, which is what these drugs are messing with, is produced in
your gut, in your intestine. Ninety five percent of our serotonin is produced
in our gut. You would think doctors would focus on that and helping the
body to make more serotonin so it wouldn't have to block its uptake by giving
you a drug that messes you over. The question becomes, why isn't there
a greater effort to correct the intestinal imbalances which may be negatively impacting serotonin production
in people who are depressed or anxious. That's the question. What about encouraging
depressed people to exercise more? We know that helps with depression. How about
encouraging people who are depressed and anxious to get more sunlight. How about more
talk therapy rather than pharmaceuticals. How about taking supplements to help the body in
general and particularly the area of the body that makes the serotonin, like probiotics
like doctor ohis probably oats, or going to the health food store and taking
five htp trip to Fan or Saint John's Wart or trip to Fan. It
goes on and on, and you wonder, well, if the body makes
ninety five percent of our needed serotonin, what happens? Why do people get
depressed? How about antibiotics that have destroyed that part of the body, taking
anti antibiotics unnecessary, or taking other pharmaceuticals which destroy the microbiome in the gut,
disallowing the body to make it serotonin. Then you don't get the serotonin
and you feel depressed. You see how getting into this circle of drugs is
problematic. Well, how about also providing this eating kiwi extra kiwi in your
diet, which has trip to fan in it, which is a precursor to
serotonin. You can do that dark chocolate, the good kind, the one
without lots of sugar and milk, the one that's at least seventy percent cacao.
Yeah, you can raise your serotonin with that. Kim Chi, sour
kraut. These are all things that are fermented, yogurt, Kiefer, kombucha.
They can ferment in your gut and help you to make more serotonin and
be less depressed. They help modulate the release of these neurotransmitters, these via
the friendly bacteria. Now, just to keep people from being depressed. Uh.
My co pilot of the show, Phil said he heard something recently about
somebody singing a song about taking these things and taking pills for this and that.
Let's play that, Phil, go like them. I'm taking with a
dose of estrogen mixed with demarrol and prozec. Now I've got hair on my
chin. Son's on riddle len and bestraw. We thought he had add but
it turns out that the whole time he is justin. Soob, if you're
a help, listen, decline, just take ten pills and you'll find your
fun. Oh my gosh, isn't it true? I mean, I know
depression is a serious subject and we're not, you know, making fun of
that, because people are truly depressed. But the way that we handle this
thing is absurd. I mean, here we I have in my hands a
study that says study destroys SSRI antidepressant theory. First in twenty twenty two and
Landmark Research shot a large hole in the whole low Serotonin Causes depression biochemical narrative,
previously accepted uncritically as the gospel, and which has sustained the multi billion
dollar SSRII sales commerce for decades. Wow. So what they're basically saying is
it is just a drug category invented out a whole cloth, and the only
people are really benefiting by it. And I'm sure people do benefit by it,
especially placebo theory is strong and living life large. It's there. All
right, We're gonna move on. Ladies and gentlemen, stay tuned. You're

liver, is complicated from a chemistry standpoint. I won't bore you, but
each one of us has a little bit of a different detox system on board.
A classic example is to explain this, Chuck, is to think about
this. I mean, how many people do you know that you eventually find
out if they drink let's say, one or two beers, they're like inebriated,
they can't even function or stand up. And then the next person,
their buddy or the person that they're with sitting next to them, they can
drink almost a half a half of a bottle of wine or a six packer
more of beer and not be too hobbled by it, not seem to be
too intoxicated. It all has to do with the way that our body detoxifies
us through the liver and how fast and efficient those levels of detoxification are.
And some people genetically are just not geared toward you know, toxic load,
you know, personally myself, I don't mind telling you if and when I
do, and I rarely do have an adult beverage and some special celebration.
Oh it doesn't take much for me to feel it. Oh my gosh.
And I've got friends again that could drink whole bottles of wine, they can
take shots on end. It just seem like nothing is happening, and I
feel sorry for them because my body is saying no, and it punishes me
immediately, and a lot of other people understand it can relate to this.
They get high easy. I would be a very cheap date if I was
single, and I'm not. I've been married well as of this August fifty
years. I'm not complaining or bragging. I'm just saying so. It has
to do with the way that we detoxify, and also drug resistance can have
something to do with your exposure, your previous exposure. We now hear about
all this drug resistant activity that's going on with antibiotics. They have been abused
and used by the medical profession. Yes, antibiotics are miracle drugs, no
question about it. If you get a bacterial infection that can save your life,
it is saved countless lives. But when you take it so much,
either in the form of prescription drugs or it's in the beef that you're eating,
because cattle and livestock they get pumped full of antibiotics to get them fattened
up, keep out of infections. That goes into your body makes you drug
resistant for the next drug that they may give you to save your life,
or it's in something else the water or whatever. It may be, and
these could be some of the reasons why you are drug resistant. But you
can work with a functional medicine trained doctor or an integratively trained doctor to go
through a detoxification process in your liver, clean up your gut, and give
you the appropriate nutrients and diet and lifestyle and maybe you can overcome this drug
resistance issue you have. Anyway, Chuck again, thank you for your phone
call. Appreciate you listening into the program and calling in with your questions.

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 can See is changing lives of people with
poor vision caused by cataract. Learn more about can See eye drops at Wisechoice

if we can get another caller in before the end of the hour. Next
up is Rich calling in from Denver, Colorado. I got to Bob.
I'm Rick from Denver, and my question is I'm trying to figure out how
to get four out of my bath water. I like to take detox baths,
I know, like putting things like lemons in there and theyking soa have
some salt helps get rid of it, but I really can't find it silted
for the bathtub. And I just wonder if you had any input. Okay,
Rick from Denver, thank you for your phone call. Yeah, that's
an issue because if you're going to sit there and soak, maybe in a
bathtub, maybe it's a good idea to have the cleanest water coming into that
bathtub as possible. And some of the city and state municipalities have larger quantities
and higher concentrations of both fluoride and chlorine, which when you're in contact with
it does there's a certain amount of it absorbs into your body and it can
impact certain organs and glands and tissues, including the thyroid gland. A lot
of doctors are looking at that these days, how these fluorides and chlorides and
stuff impacts the way that the hormone zones are in the thyroid gland. So
but the best system, rich, if you're in control of it, is
to have a whole house water system installed. Make an investment in your health.
These whole house water systems help to remove these kinds of toxins and some
of them are more sophisticated, some are not. And that's what you would
be doing as you would be inquiring to the companies that make these whole house
water systems to say, okay, look what I want filtered out in a
perfect world into my home so that I can perhaps drink the water, because
I'm certainly not going to drink sink water, and I also want to bathe
in it. I want that stuff removed. So tell me about the water
system you have and how much it costs, and has it been proven to
remove fluoride and chlorine in my water? And if so, I'll buy it.
I'm down. And then you get it and you never have to worry
about it again. You don't have to worry about it brushing your teeth coming
through the faucet, or taking a shower or taking a bath. You'd be
looking for a whole house water system that blocks through these hepaphila or not hepa
filters, but charcoal filters and other sophisticated filtration technology to block these elements,
these toxicities that you don't want or need. That technology exists, Rick,
and I'm glad you brought it up. Good health to you, sir.
All Right, ladies and gentlemen, stick around when we come back. We're
going to talk about how marriage more likely to save you from cancer than chemo.
