Be sure to spell out the word 41 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:44.439 doctor doc t r Bob dot com. We're gonna begin 42 00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:50.000 this hour with the conversation about cholesterol. There you know, 43 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.719 there's good, there's bad, there's indifferent, a lot of confusion, 44 00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:57.639 a lot of controversy, a lot of fraud involved in 45 00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:03.199 the selling of cholesterol lowering drugs and exactly what cholesterol 46 00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:06.719 really is. But you've probably heard it's better to have 47 00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:10.639 lots of good cholesterol, and generally speaking, that's true. But 48 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:15.479 if you have too much of anything HDL, the high 49 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:20.840 density lipoprotein form of cholesterol, if you have too much 50 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.520 of that, it could be a problem for you. The 51 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:28.400 so called good cholesterol may not be so beneficial after all, 52 00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:34.840 and could even leave you blind. That's what concerning research 53 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:41.599 is now suggesting high density lipoprotein cholesterol HDL has long 54 00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:46.319 been considered good because it because of the swath I 55 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:50.520 guess you should say, swath of evidence showing it protects 56 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:54.520 your heart, your cardiovascular system, your blood vessels. In fact, 57 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:59.520 HDL cholesterol removes cholesterol from your arteries and carries it 58 00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.840 to your liver to be broken down and removed from 59 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:07.840 your body, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. 60 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:14.520 But some research has since stated that there may be 61 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.040 a problem, and what they're looking at is a challenge 62 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:23.120 to the view that more is better. Now scientists who 63 00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:28.519 have tracked almost seven thousand people found that higher levels 64 00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:35.879 of HDL cholesterol actually raise the risk of interocular pressure, 65 00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:42.720 an incurable eye condition called glaucoma. Now they were ten 66 00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:47.480 percent more likely to develop the condition glaucoma people with 67 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.600 high HDL cholesterol. And I know a lot of people 68 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:54.199 who jump up and say, oh yeah, my HDL is fantastic. 69 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:57.759 It's higher than the doctors, it's higher than anybody's. I 70 00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:02.720 challenge anybody to have higher HDL than me. But unfortunately 71 00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:07.959 this can lead to vision loss compared to those with 72 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:14.439 the lowest levels of HDL. By contrast, participants in the 73 00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:18.920 study with the highest levels of low density lipoprotein LDL cholesterol, 74 00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:25.120 we also refer to that as the lousy form of cholesterol, 75 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:29.560 as in L typically considered harmful, we're eight percent less 76 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:33.720 likely to develop the eye disease glaucoma. That is the 77 00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.600 I think it's the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. 78 00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:40.560 Writing in the British Journal of Ophthalmology, they added HDL 79 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:45.480 cholesterol has been regarded as a good cholesterol for seven decades. However, 80 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:49.399 this study demonstrates that high levels of HDL high density 81 00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:57.160 lipoprotein cholesterol are not consistently associated with favorable prognostic outcome, 82 00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:01.959 particularly when it comes to vision, and this could prompt 83 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:08.439 a reevaluation of lipid management fat management strategies in patients 84 00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.959 at risk for glockoma. Further studies are course needed to 85 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:17.800 investigate the mechanisms behind this association. But cholesterol, folks, it's 86 00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:21.240 a fatty, waxy substance found in the blood that is 87 00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:27.439 vital for bodily functions including digestion, cell membrane. It's antioxidant protection, 88 00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:34.600 making vitamin D, making sex hormones, and of course cardiovascular health. However, 89 00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:39.800 too much of the wrong type of cholesterol, and that's 90 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.800 where we get to the better news here, and you 91 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.680 should write this down. Make sure your doctor is checking 92 00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:53.360 your APO, your APPO lipoprotein B number B that's the 93 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.240 bad one. And also they can check while they're at it, 94 00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:00.279 small particle cholesterol. Now, these two are very dangerous. Aphered 95 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:04.600 to total cholesterol which has very little significance or LDL 96 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:10.360 HDL not as significant as the measure of APO. That's 97 00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:14.120 ApoB and small particle cholesterol. Now, they can build up 98 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:17.600 in the blood due to eating unhealthy fats and exit 99 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:20.680 not exercising enough and being overweight and smoking and eating 100 00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:24.360 too much sugar and drinking alcohol. That's how these numbers. 101 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:28.240 Your cholesterol numbers get upside down, particularly if you're genetically 102 00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:34.240 disposed to that. Having high LDL cholesterol doesn't appear, doesn't 103 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:37.600 trigger any symptoms, but can lead to of course, blocked 104 00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.800 blood vessels and raise the risk of heart problems and strokes. 105 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:45.079 Now in the study, the researchers quizzed. Another study quizzed 106 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.720 over four hundred thousand people between the ages of forty 107 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:52.240 and sixty nine on their health history. Also, these people 108 00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:57.399 had been tested, including the measure of their blood fats. 109 00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:00.839 Over a follow up period of over fourteen years, thousands 110 00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:06.600 developed glockoma and eye conditions capable of causing blindness because 111 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:12.079 they had high HDL levels. They're still looking at it though, 112 00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:15.399 and compared with the participants who didn't develop glackoma, the 113 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:18.600 second leading cause of blindness on the planet, those who 114 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:24.199 did were more likely to be X smokers, statin cholesterol 115 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:28.800 lowering drug takers, and had diabetes, high blood pressure, or 116 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.959 some type of cardiovascular disease. But analysis of the blood 117 00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:37.919 tests showed that higher levels of good HDL cholesterol specifically 118 00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:42.000 were associated with a heightened level of this eye condition. 119 00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:44.840 This eye disease called glocoma, which you never ever want 120 00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:49.759 to have. Every increase in HDL levels was associated with 121 00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:53.879 a five percent higher risk of glaucoma. The findings build 122 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:57.799 on previous research which has suggested there may be a 123 00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:01.960 link between high cholesterol level and an increased risk of glaucoma. 124 00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:07.720 Glaucoma is usually caused by the fluid slowly building up 125 00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:11.120 in the front part of the eye, which increases pressure 126 00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:15.840 inside of the eye and as a result that all 127 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:18.919 important optic nerve which connects the eye to the brain 128 00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:24.639 becomes damaged from the pressure. Glaucoma, which develops slowly over 129 00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.879 many years in most cases, can lead to loss of 130 00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:31.840 vision if not treated properly. And that's why you need 131 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:37.039 to see eye doctors, both ophthalmologists and or a optometrist 132 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:40.159 on a regular basis to have your glockcoma checked. Interocular 133 00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:42.159 pressure it's that little puff of air in the eye. 134 00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:44.759 Everybody should get that checked on a regular basis. In 135 00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:49.519 my opinion, medical treatment aims to lower this pressure through 136 00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:54.960 of course, they use prescription eye drops, oral drugs, oral medications, 137 00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:58.840 laser treatment, sometimes are employed, surgery or a combination of 138 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:02.639 these are in deployed. There are some of the options, 139 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:08.600 and there's also, of course lifestyle strategies that you can employ. Acupuncture, nutraceutical, 140 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:14.559 vitamins and herbs all capable of helping glaucoma. So get 141 00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:19.440 off the sugar, the alcohol, the caffeine, those are all 142 00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:24.799 things that can exacerbate it. And well, look, especially if 143 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:27.759 you have a history of problems, have your doctor the 144 00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:33.399 next time your bloods is tested, check this APO APO 145 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:39.399 lipoprotein B. Also C reactive cardiosensitive C reactive protein should 146 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:44.080 be tested. It's more important, I think than the cholesterol numbers. Ferretin, 147 00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:49.720 fibrinogen TMAO. Make sure you're taking Omega three fatty acids. 148 00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:54.440 I'll have comments as well as another doctor's comments on this. 149 00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:57.919 Prominent medical doctor talks about the fraud in statin drugs 150 00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:00.000 and cholesterol. After this, I'm doctor Bob Martin. 151 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:02.559 Just GiB. 152 00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:24.639 Welcome and welcome back to this hour of the Doctor 153 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:27.840 Bob Martin Show.

You've also got 164 00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:07.759 social media platforms over there, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, and I 165 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:10.600 post up on those and you can stay apprized of 166 00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:12.559 all the latest breaking stuff or things we're going to 167 00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:14.639 be talking about on the show. Before the show happens, 168 00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:17.639 you can remind yourself to tune in, and of course 169 00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:21.159 that's where the podcast library lives recordings of this show. 170 00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:23.679 In case you miss something or you want to refer 171 00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:27.240 somebody to it, it's all there doctor bob dot com 172 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:29.960 spelling out the word doctor. Now if you're just tuning in, 173 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.440 I just in the first segment talked about how researchers 174 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:39.120 have discovered how that not all good cholesterol is that 175 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:43.799 good for your eyes, especially when it's in excess. When 176 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:52.200 it's in excess, the good cholesterol, the HDL high density lipoprotein. 177 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:57.200 When it's in excess in certain people, it can increase 178 00:12:57.240 --> 00:13:01.480 your risk of a blinding eye disease we call glackoma. 179 00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:06.279 You don't want that, So what do you do? Well? 180 00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:10.000 You make sure that you do everything you can excuse 181 00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:13.759 me on your side, by living a healthy lifestyle and 182 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:17.480 not increasing your risk of heart disease or glacoma or 183 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:20.879 any other health related problem for that matter. And you 184 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:27.720 ask your doctor, can they please besides the typical lipid panels, 185 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:32.879 the typical cholesterol panels, which tell very very little about 186 00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:40.600 your cardiovascular health. In fact, many people have completely totally 187 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.440 normal cholesterol according to those minimal panels that insurance companies 188 00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:50.000 will pay for. But they won't pay for anything more 189 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:53.679 sophisticated than that. And perhaps that's why they give grief 190 00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:56.360 to doctors who try to run them, because they're going 191 00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:00.039 to charge the insurance company more. They are trying to 192 00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.360 mitigate their costs, so they do everything to paper the 193 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:06.320 doctor so that they have to explain away their reasoning 194 00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:08.919 for running some of these more sophisticated tests which are 195 00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:16.519 more valid for cardiovascular health. Now, if your doctor recognizes 196 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:18.399 this and is willing to go to work for you 197 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:24.759 and fight for adding to a normal cholesterol limid panel, 198 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:32.039 adding especially the laboratory values checking for You should write 199 00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:34.919 these down and list them to your doctor the next 200 00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:38.039 time you go in or call the office and say 201 00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:41.320 and ask the nurse did the doctor the last time 202 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:44.519 I was into the office, did they check my homo 203 00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:49.799 cistine level? Homo cystine level. That is as important as 204 00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:53.600 any cholesterol number there is because it shows high degrees 205 00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:57.320 of risk, not just for cardiovascular disease, but also Alzheimer's disease. 206 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:03.080 If your doctor the last time ran a cardio sensitive 207 00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:08.120 C reactive protein excellent, If not, get it done Apo 208 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:13.919 B ApoB that's at apo lipoprotein B. That's the very 209 00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:17.000 dangerous form of cholesterol that is not typically run in 210 00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:22.360 a medical cholesterol panel. Knowing that will give you a 211 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:26.200 lot of information as to what you need to do 212 00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:28.480 on your side of the schedule to protect yourself from 213 00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:32.039 cardiovascular disease. Because people going to their doctor's office and 214 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:35.840 have normal cholesterol all the time and fall over from 215 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.919 a heart attack with one hundred and fifty total cholesterol 216 00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:43.879 or one hundred and seventy five total cholesterol. And the 217 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.519 reason for that is that we don't know what kind 218 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:49.320 of cholesterol they have. They could have had the dangerous one. 219 00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:52.320 It was never even tested for. They weren't tested for homocysteine. 220 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:56.480 They weren't tested for the real smoking gun of cardiovascular disease, 221 00:15:56.480 --> 00:16:00.919 which has to which happens to be inflammation. They're not 222 00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:05.440 measuring your inflammatory markers. How can they know your status 223 00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:09.519 of cardiovascular disease. The answer is they can't by only 224 00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:15.039 looking at a standard minimal lipid panel, a cholesterol panel, 225 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:18.600 and that's typically what is run in the vast majority 226 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:22.480 of doctors' offices. You deserve more, You should have more. 227 00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:28.840 More information gives you better, a better forward site to 228 00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:34.000 how to stay healthy. So homocysteine, cardiosensitive C reactive protein 229 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:42.320 ApoB ApoB ferretin, fibrinagen, and TMAO. And if your doctor's 230 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:45.559 a real creative, why don't they run an Omega three 231 00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:49.399 to omega six ratio blood test so you can see 232 00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:53.159 what good fats you have over the bad fats that 233 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:55.080 you could be taking in in your diet, and then 234 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:59.399 you can adjust your Omega three supplementation accordingly. That's a 235 00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:04.200 better And if you can't find a doctor who is 236 00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:07.880 willing or able to do this. Fire the doctor you 237 00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:12.319 have and get another one who is Remember the relationship. 238 00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:16.680 You're the boss, they work for you. You're the employer, 239 00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:20.240 they're the employee. You don't have to cow down to 240 00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:26.400 the arrogance of a doctor who believes he's a god 241 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.559 because they have a ceremonially draped stethoscope and a white 242 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:36.359 coat on. You don't. You do not, And you can 243 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:39.680 find a caring doctor out there who will work with you, 244 00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:44.599 who will partner with you to find out your true 245 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:49.119 health status. Once your values are known, then you can, 246 00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:51.920 of course you can. The same doctor who's willing to 247 00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:55.880 take these tests can and somebody who's trained in clinical 248 00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:59.759 nutrition can evaluate those values, can look at those and say, 249 00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:04.079 oh yeah, your TMAO is off the chart that leaves 250 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:06.960 you at a high risk, according to Cleveland Clinic of 251 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:09.599 having a heart attack. Your fibrinagen is real high. Your 252 00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:13.960 blood is very viscous, it's very thick, it's very problematic. 253 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:16.960 You can have a clot immediately. Your ApoB is high. 254 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:19.599 We need to do this. Your ce reactive proteins you're 255 00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:22.079 on fire. You're inflamed. We need to get that down. 256 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:24.960 You can't tell that in none of that information with 257 00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:29.960 a standard cholesterol panel, you can't. It's impossible. So find 258 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.519 a doctor who's trained in clinical nutrition, and you can 259 00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:37.599 find those doctors in different healing arts. Could be a 260 00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:42.240 chiropractic physician trained in clinical nutrition. Could be a nature 261 00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:46.440 pathic physician trained in clinical nutrition. Could be a PhD 262 00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:50.079 trained in clinical nutrition. Could be a functional medicine doctor 263 00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:58.319 md D zero that are trained in basically functional medicine. 264 00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:02.440 Here's what a doctor says, a prominent doctor about statins 265 00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:07.960 in cholesterol. This doctor is he knows exactly what he's 266 00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:10.960 talking about. I can tell you that his name is 267 00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:13.799 doctor Raymond Francis. Listen to what he has to say 268 00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:15.200 about cholesterol and statins go. 269 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:25.759 Statin drugs to lower cholesterol are over prescribed, ineffective, and dangerous. 270 00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:28.880 No one needs a statin drug. Doudies show they do 271 00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:34.160 nothing to prolong lives. Yet fifteen million Americans are taking 272 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:38.279 these things to lower their cholesterol, completely ignoring the fact 273 00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:41.519 that cholesterol is not the problem. You know, more than 274 00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:44.480 seventy five percent of people who suffer heart attacks have 275 00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:49.240 normal or low cholesterol. The real problem is inflammation. What 276 00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:53.160 is needed is not a drug to lower cholesterol. But 277 00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:58.480 something to lower inflammation like vitamin C. The side effects 278 00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:02.680 of statin's are ho horrendous. I mean they include muscle inches, 279 00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:07.920 increase risk of cancer, yes, cancer and diabetes, and memory 280 00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:12.000 loss and artery calcification, vitamin deficiencies. 281 00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:15.519 There you have. You were listening there to a doctor, 282 00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:18.480 a medical doctor by the name of doctor Raymond Francis, 283 00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:22.000 a very prominent and well respected doctor, really telling it 284 00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:25.279 like it is. I mean, some of these doctors, you know, 285 00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:28.279 they finally realize what they've been doing all along, and 286 00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:33.400 that is nothing for their patients with statin drugs. And 287 00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:36.599 then they've had their come to Jesus moment and they 288 00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:41.480 they they want to set the record straight before they die, 289 00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:46.319 you know, And I appreciate that, but that's his opinion. 290 00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:49.519 I mean, he's limiting with vitamin C is great, but 291 00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:52.480 it's certainly limited. But I think you get the idea. 292 00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:54.720 All right, We're gonna come back and go to your 293 00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:57.240 telephone calls and question. Stay tuned. You're tuned into the 294 00:20:57.319 --> 00:21:00.559 Doctor Bob Martin Show. Are you waiting for you write? 295 00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:03.759 Excuse? Are you reading for science? 296 00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:04.480 Choose? 297 00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:22.480 Why are you reading the time to type? 298 00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:24.480 Mone? 299 00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:25.000 Are you in. 300 00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:30.759 I welcome you or welcome you back to this hour 301 00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:35.680 of the Doctor Bob Martin's Show. I also want to 302 00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:39.079 encourage you to stick around because later in the show, 303 00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:42.480 I'm going to be talking about a popular fermented food 304 00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:47.720 that you know about linked now linked to a decrease 305 00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:53.720 in the incidence of colorectal cancer, which is on the rise. 306 00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:57.519 In investigators and scientists are going what is going on here? 307 00:21:58.039 --> 00:22:01.440 A recent study led by the American Can Society researchers 308 00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:08.000 shows that early onset coorectal cancer incidence rates are rising 309 00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:13.960 in people all over the world in twenty seven of 310 00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:22.359 fifty countries territories worldwide, twenty of which have either exclusive 311 00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:28.200 or faster increases for early onset disease. The study, published 312 00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:34.440 in Gut Microbes from mass General Bringham, found that long 313 00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:39.240 term consumption of a popular fermented food may help to 314 00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:43.079 protect against the development of colorectal cancer, which is on 315 00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:47.640 the rise in a big way. So stick around for 316 00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:50.640 that that's coming up on the program today. Now, before 317 00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:53.640 we go to your phone calls on the topic of 318 00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:58.279 health on the Doctor Bob Martin Show, caller hotline phone 319 00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:01.400 number of eight hundred zero six eight eight two to 320 00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:06.319 two eight hundred six zero six eight eight two two. 321 00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:11.519 You know, I want to remind you that nature often 322 00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:16.400 provides our medicines, the natural stuff through our food supply, 323 00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:18.960 to help us stay healthy and well. We just have 324 00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:22.440 to figure it out and find it and consume it. 325 00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:26.839 It's kind of like you've probably noticed this. When dogs 326 00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:32.839 get sick, they are carnivores, they eat meat mostly. They 327 00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:35.279 go out when they're sick, however, and they eat grass 328 00:23:35.400 --> 00:23:38.720 or they try to find some shrub to eat. Other 329 00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:42.119 animals can be observed doing this as well, horses eating 330 00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:45.920 certain herbs when they're sick. They know what remedies how 331 00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:48.680 to help themselves out. They can't talk to us, so 332 00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:52.880 they just innately know. I think we innately know too. 333 00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:55.839 We just have to learn how to listen to our bodies. 334 00:23:56.319 --> 00:23:59.720 And therein lies the information that I want you to 335 00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:04.039 have that there is a substance that comes in minuscule 336 00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:07.759 amounts in certain foods that if we eat more of 337 00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:11.160 it in a therapeutic way and let's say a nutritional 338 00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:15.400 supplement way, we can benefit by a big time if 339 00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:18.440 we can just figure it out. That substance is kind 340 00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:26.039 of technical, the technical chemical name of it called palmitoy lethanolamine. 341 00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:31.359 Palmitoy lethanolamine just let's just say pea for short. That's 342 00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:34.599 all you need to remember is pea for short. It's 343 00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:39.079 a special nutrient found in minuscule quantities and egg yolks 344 00:24:39.079 --> 00:24:41.680 and other forms of food. You'd have to eat thirty 345 00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:46.799 sixty eggs to get a therapeutic dose of it. However, 346 00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:52.920 scientific research shows that this substance pea can address all 347 00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:56.359 kinds of health related conditions, including muscle pain and recovery 348 00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:00.000 arthritis symptoms. If you get enough of it, improve more 349 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.599 mobility and cognitive health, and a multitude of other health conditions, 350 00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:11.680 including allergies, respiratory symptoms, and even fibromyalgia, which is an 351 00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:17.359 enigma to medical the medical system and because of this 352 00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:23.640 pea's anti inflammatory action, researchers have investigated its ability to 353 00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:28.680 relieve pain in a variety of conditions including sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, 354 00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:32.559 temporal mandibular joint problems TMJ pain, just to name a few. 355 00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:38.960 Plus in scientific research on the most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis, 356 00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:44.920 pea lowered levels of inflammatory markers, slow damage of the 357 00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:48.720 cartilage between the bones and reduced knee swelling. So if 358 00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:52.559 you are looking to improve your overall health, consider supplementing 359 00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:56.720 with PEA for relief of both acute and chronic pain, 360 00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:00.920 better physical recovery from injuries, improved mood and focus, and 361 00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:06.160 a robust immune system response. You can take pea in 362 00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:11.200 a supplement from Terry Naturally Vitamins. Terry Naturally Vitamins puts 363 00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:16.359 out the best form of supplement in pea.
