I'll ask you to 31 00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.439 state the city and state you're living in, and then 32 00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:01.400 your question is that simple? The number again eight hundred 33 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:08.000 six zero six eight eight two two. Now, then we 34 00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:12.039 have a great show planned for you today. Stick around 35 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:16.000 for the entirety. In fact, a little bit later, I'm 36 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:20.039 going to talk about the seven well being tips to 37 00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:26.800 help your twenty twenty five year be much healthier. But 38 00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:30.680 before we get to that, I wanted to give you 39 00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:37.240 the results of last week's health pole question. If you 40 00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:40.120 were with us, you know that I was talking about 41 00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:47.319 the fact that there are states and hospitals and doctors 42 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:54.719 who are pushing back wanting to bring back the face masks. 43 00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:00.000 The rules about wearing face masks. In fact, multiple states 44 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:05.560 are trying to bring back face mask rules as doctors 45 00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:11.599 warn of a quademic of viruses this winter. Hospitals in 46 00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:17.960 multiple Blue states and brought back masking amid surges in 47 00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:21.840 winter viruses this week. In fact, actually it's a couple 48 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:28.560 weeks now. New Jersey's largest hospital system, RWJ Barnabas Health 49 00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:38.080 reinstated this mask requirement for all staff members, patients, and visitors, 50 00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:43.240 even though the state's COVID infection rate is low. The system, 51 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:47.439 which treats three million patients per year. That staff will 52 00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:52.240 provide new masks for everyone who walks in the door 53 00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:57.240 and may ask you to replace your own mask with 54 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:01.360 a hospital supplied mask. As part of the mandate that 55 00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:05.319 they are trying to put in place in New Jersey, 56 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:10.439 visitors will also be required to sanitize their hands before 57 00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:15.000 entering the hospital buildings, so you have that one and 58 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.920 you have another one. Several counties in San Francisco Bay 59 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:24.040 Area have also brought back mask rules with an order 60 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:31.519 to effect this year's mask usage. Meanwhile, hospitals in New 61 00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:37.319 York have also urged patients, staffs, and visitors to mask 62 00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:42.319 up while indoors and get vaccinated against COVID and the 63 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:48.480 flu as rates really plummeted. Oh boy. And last month, 64 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.800 in fact, in New York City, health officials recommended masking 65 00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:57.360 up on public transport as winter temperature set in. The 66 00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:02.839 return of masking comes amid a ser of four winter viruses, 67 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:07.439 including COVID and the flu, which experts believe could be 68 00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.959 a sign of an impending quademic. That's why they're panicking. 69 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:15.519 But in the Blue States. Now, we saw this and 70 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:20.120 we discussed it on the show and then posted up 71 00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:23.920 the question on my website at doctor Bob dot com 72 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:28.839 spelling out the word doctor doctor Bob dot com asking 73 00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:32.120 you to give us your opinion of this. And the 74 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:35.800 question was, do you intend to wear a face max 75 00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:42.519 mask if another pandemic is declared? Yes or no? Wow, 76 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:47.439 the results are in or at least partial results because 77 00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:51.279 the questions still up there at doctor Bob dot com. 78 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:54.160 We've got so much activity on that the question is 79 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.439 still there, but I'll give you a preliminary on this. 80 00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:01.000 It's amazing. And the choices for the answer were No, 81 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.639 you do not intend to wear a face mask if 82 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:13.800 another pandemic or some other pandemic is announced, or yes 83 00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:17.360 you do, or absolutely not. Those are the three choices, 84 00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:20.000 and here are the results of the poll that we took. 85 00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:22.639 Thank you for going to my website and weighing in 86 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:25.560 on this at doctor Bob dot com. Of those people 87 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:31.879 who voted, seventy six percent said absolutely not, you do 88 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.959 not intend to wear a face mask otherwise known as 89 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:41.560 a face diaper if another pandemic has declared. Twenty four 90 00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:45.759 percent of you said no, and zero ladies and gentlemen, 91 00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:48.199 zero people who went to my site and voted on 92 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.319 this question of do you intend to wear a face 93 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:54.759 mask if another pandemic is declared? Zero people said yes. 94 00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:59.199 It just shows you how I think the public has 95 00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:04.519 caught on to the bogusness of wearing face masks. And 96 00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:06.959 you might say, well, wait a minute, Well you got 97 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:09.480 to put something between you and the virus. How else 98 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:13.120 are you going to stay healthy if that virus comes 99 00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:18.480 wafting through the air and finds your nasal cavity. Well, look, 100 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:22.240 don't believe me when I say masks don't work. Look 101 00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:28.000 at the Cochrane Report on this topic. Cochran is a 102 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:34.279 authoritative group of scientists and doctors who look at all 103 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:37.040 the medical literature and then make a decision as to 104 00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:44.439 whether something has efficacious activity. And the Cochrane collaboration says 105 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:49.240 masks do not work, but don't believe them. Why don't 106 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:52.160 you perform the smell test to see if your mask 107 00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:56.160 is working. If you put a mask on and you 108 00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:58.560 go into an area, let's say a kitchen, or you 109 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.920 go into an area where there's like perfume or any 110 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.000 odor in the air whatsoever, and you can smell it 111 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:10.560 through your mask, that odor molecule happens to be larger 112 00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:15.439 than a virus that has been aerosolized. That's in the 113 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.560 air that somebody sneezed or coughed, and now it's wafting 114 00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:21.639 through the air and the breeze and the wind and 115 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:26.600 the airflow is taking it throughout the building. That odor 116 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:34.159 molecule happens to be larger than a virus, and the 117 00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:38.879 viruses get right through. So it is they just don't work, 118 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.399 But don't believe any of that. Go read doctor Judy Michaeovitch. 119 00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:51.639 She's a PhD. Epidemiologist who wrote a book about face masks, 120 00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.519 What to Know about It's really sad when I see 121 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:56.879 somebody wearing one. I don't care where it is. Now. 122 00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:58.480 If you want to wear one on an airplane to 123 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.600 keep your nose warm because it's free and cold, I 124 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.960 get that. I would even do that because those airplanes 125 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.320 are so cold it's like you shiver some of them 126 00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:16.240 and it's horrible. But wearing one to block viruses just 127 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:19.320 doesn't work. All you do is you suffocate for a 128 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:24.039 period of time, You breathe in more carbon dioxide, which 129 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.759 is a something that should be eliminated, not breathed back in. 130 00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:36.039 And not only that, you're sweating, and it's just suffocation 131 00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:39.440 for me. I don't know about you, but maybe some 132 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.720 people like to wear them for some reason I don't know, 133 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:44.879 But they don't work. So if you thought that somehow, 134 00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:48.399 some way mask is going to save you from contracting 135 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:55.840 a virus, you are sorely misunderstood in terms of the 136 00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:00.759 science that is available today. They just don't work. And 137 00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:04.480 so the absolutely nots. Seventy six percent of the poll 138 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:08.080 have it on this one as it relates to you 139 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:11.279 intend to wear a face mask if another pandemic is declared, 140 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:17.840 You got it right for sure. All right, now, I'm 141 00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:22.639 going to after this next break launch into seven well 142 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:27.960 tips Well being tips to make your twenty twenty five 143 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:32.679 a healthier year.

And then once 225 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:47.559 you start and make sure you can do that, you 226 00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:52.360 add the resistance training or weight training, and if you 227 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:56.120 need help with that, get a exercise physiologist or a trainer. 228 00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:58.679 To run through with you how to properly do that, 229 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:01.559 and you don't.

Achieving overall well being often requires more than 247 00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:12.000 personal effort.

Yeah, drugs are sometimes important sometimes you've got 254 00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:38.640 to suppress symptoms, but not constantly. They have severe limitations 255 00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:42.680 and also lots of risks. This is where professional services 256 00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:46.680 outside conventional medicine can help.

If you have simmering, low grade infections in 330 00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:45.680 your gums, if you have periodontal disease, gingivitis, if you 331 00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:50.519 have problems just with hygiene in your oral cavity, that 332 00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:53.759 can cause problems in other parts of your body because 333 00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:56.519 it's hooked to your bloodstream, and that can carry those 334 00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:01.359 germs to your joints, to your heart, to other organs, cells, lands, 335 00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:02.920 and tissues.
