Speaker 1: The following is a paid podcast. iHeartRadio's hosting of this
Speaker 1: podcast constitutes neither an endorsement of the products offered or
Speaker 1: the ideas expressed.
Speaker 2: Function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
Speaker 2: is doctor Eric Kaplan, and you're listening to boost your
Speaker 2: brain power. We're going to talk about the most common
Speaker 2: misconceptions of modern day medicine. There's lots of false rumors
Speaker 2: that go around these hospitals and doctors' offices and medical schools,
Speaker 2: and then they're taught to these patients incorrectly. So it's
Speaker 2: very important that we communicate the most common misconceptions so
Speaker 2: that you can educate yourself on how to improve your
Speaker 2: own health so you're not dependent on tests and doctors
Speaker 2: and pills to be healthy. The power that made the
Speaker 2: body heals the body. We need to make sure that
Speaker 2: you do not create any interference with the body's way
Speaker 2: of healing. And that is my job is to help
Speaker 2: you get rid of interference. So what are these misconceptions
Speaker 2: and I'm talking about Well, one of them is calcium, right,
Speaker 2: So a lot of patients just think, oh, I'm getting older,
Speaker 2: my bones will get weaker, and now I need to
Speaker 2: take calcium and there are lots of doctors that support
Speaker 2: this theory, and they just say, oh, go take calcium,
Speaker 2: you're pretty old. No, that's not how it works. Don't
Speaker 2: take calcium because you reach a certain age. It's not
Speaker 2: how it works. First of all, most people aren't even
Speaker 2: calcium deficient. You got to look in your blood work.
Speaker 2: Look in your blood work. Most people, well, if anything,
Speaker 2: have too much calcium. I see this all the time,
Speaker 2: especially with parathyroid conditions, and nobody checks you for that.
Speaker 2: If your calcium levels are high and when I say hi,
Speaker 2: I think above ten is high. If they're above ten
Speaker 2: in your blood work, then you're gonta check your parathyroid
Speaker 2: because that could be influencing it. You could have an
Speaker 2: issue in that part of your body. So calcium levels
Speaker 2: need to be looked at in the blood work. Now,
Speaker 2: if you are calcium deficient where it's too low, that's
Speaker 2: a different story. Then you might need to supplement with calcium.
Speaker 2: But it needs to be a quality supplement, not from CVS,
Speaker 2: not from the vitamin shop, not from GNC or Whole
Speaker 2: Foods or Wegmans or shop. Right, don't get these, you know,
Speaker 2: commercial type of supplements. They're gonna be full full of fillers, contaminants, impurities,
Speaker 2: a lot of food dyes and artificial flavors and preservatives.
Speaker 2: Don't do it. Don't take these vitamins and supplements from
Speaker 2: the store. I treat my patients like I treat my family.
Speaker 2: If I would not suggest it for my patients, I
Speaker 2: wouldn't do it all right. But for some reason, people
Speaker 2: think it's okay to just get vitamins, you know, from
Speaker 2: Trader Joe's. You know, it's like these health food stores
Speaker 2: or something like that. They think it's okay because it's
Speaker 2: from a health food store. No, be careful. Most of
Speaker 2: the supplements are crap, contaminants and purities. We don't want that.
Speaker 2: I like a company called apex Energetics, but you have
Speaker 2: to order it through a doctor because these companies are
Speaker 2: about quality control. Don't get this stuff on Amazon because
Speaker 2: there's a lot of scams out there. You have to
Speaker 2: get it from a doctor, and a doctor that practices
Speaker 2: functional medicine. Functional medicine is different than a typical doctor
Speaker 2: because we look at patterns. We look at the root
Speaker 2: cause you don't treat symptoms. And be careful of those
Speaker 2: doctors that claim to be functional medicine practitioners, but are
Speaker 2: just treating symptoms with supplements instead of medicine. It's still
Speaker 2: a medical mindset. So you don't want to go to
Speaker 2: any doctor that just treats your symptoms. That's not a
Speaker 2: good doctor. You want to go to a doctor that
Speaker 2: gets to the root cause of the that could be
Speaker 2: detective and can figure out where the problems are. Not
Speaker 2: hide the symptoms. That's a band aid. Right, Even if
Speaker 2: it's natural, you don't want to hide the symptoms. You know,
Speaker 2: you don't want to. Uh. Even let's say natural melatonin
Speaker 2: is natural, right, Oh, I have troubles with sleep, Let
Speaker 2: me take melatonin. Oh, that helped me with sleep. That's
Speaker 2: not good though, because then your brain says, oh, I
Speaker 2: don't need to produce the melatonin on my own, and
Speaker 2: your brain becomes weaker and you rely on the melatonin more,
Speaker 2: then you have to take more. It's a vicious cycle.
Speaker 2: So it's better not to rely on anything. Create your
Speaker 2: own circadium rhythms. Do that through the sunlight. Go outside
Speaker 2: ten minutes during sunrise, in ten minutes during sunset, you
Speaker 2: reset your pineal gland. You gotta do it for twenty
Speaker 2: one straight days to create a change in your brain.
Speaker 2: Ten minutes on sunrise, ten minutes sunset. Go outside and
Speaker 2: watch the sun go up, and watch the sun go down.
Speaker 2: Right now, getting back to calcium, So do blood work.
Speaker 2: And you got to see, Am I too low? Am
Speaker 2: I too high? If I'm right in the middle, No,
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do anything, of course not. Never take
Speaker 2: calcium supplements if you're normal, because guess what happens? Then
Speaker 2: the body says, I gotta deposit this calcium somewhere. And
Speaker 2: what if it deposit its in your breast and causes
Speaker 2: breast cancer? What if it deposits it in your arteries
Speaker 2: and creates a heart attack or stroke. What if it
Speaker 2: deposits it in your lungs and affects your breathing or
Speaker 2: your stomach, affects your digestion, or kidney stones or gallstones,
Speaker 2: and you gotta get your gallbladder removed. If you take
Speaker 2: calcium supplements when you don't need them, it's dangerous. It's
Speaker 2: even been linked to cancer and heart disease. That bad, right,
Speaker 2: So don't guess. Check your blood work, and if you're
Speaker 2: already taking calcium supplements, go a few weeks without taking
Speaker 2: it and check your blood work. Then you'll know whether
Speaker 2: you have too much or you have too little. Right, So,
Speaker 2: calcium number one does not come from milk. That's a lie.
Speaker 2: Does milk have calcium, Yes, But does milk have calcium
Speaker 2: that human beings can absorb and digest and utilize properly. No,
Speaker 2: they don't tell you that part. They don't tell you
Speaker 2: that human beings can absorb it. They don't tell you that.
Speaker 2: There's no research that shows people who drink milk have
Speaker 2: less incidents of osteoporosis. In fact, it's the exact opposite.
Speaker 2: People who have osteoporosi, we're more likely to drink milk.
Speaker 2: It's the opposite of what we're told. I have patients
Speaker 2: that also say, oh, I don't drink milk, so I
Speaker 2: gotta take calcium supplements. Wrong on so many ends. Number one,
Speaker 2: milk doesn't give you calcium, and number two, you don't
Speaker 2: want to take calcium supplements unless you're deficient. Got it,
Speaker 2: And you're not taking calcium supplements because of osteoporosis. It's
Speaker 2: another medical misconception. I don't care if you have osteoporosis.
Speaker 2: It's not a reason to take calcium supplements. It's only
Speaker 2: if your calcium levels are low, if you do have osteoporosis,
Speaker 2: the most important thing is weight resistant exercise, Weight resistant
Speaker 2: exercise and impact. Pushing into walls, pushing down on the ground,
Speaker 2: even like kind of bouncing on your toes and heels
Speaker 2: and toes and heels, toes and heels, toes and heels. Impact.
Speaker 2: That's gonna help keep that body strong. Keep resistance weight, resistance, bands,
Speaker 2: weights bells, bar bells, kettlebells. I don't care what it is.
Speaker 2: When they closed the gym during the COVID times, I
Speaker 2: started doing weights with rocks and branches and tree trunks
Speaker 2: and stuff that I could lift up with just resistance.
Speaker 2: All right, They said we got to close the gyms.
Speaker 2: I said, I gotta work out more. They said stay inside. No,
Speaker 2: I said, I gotta go outside. Get vitamin D. Be
Speaker 2: careful what the medical people tell you. It might not
Speaker 2: always be the best device. You gotta use your brain.
Speaker 2: Use common sense. Milk is made for babies. You're not
Speaker 2: a baby. It's just common sense. You don't need milk.
Speaker 2: You eat food. You're not a baby. Milk is for babies.
Speaker 2: Stop drinking milk, Stop eating cheese, yogurt, cream, cheese, butter,
Speaker 2: sour cream, creamy sauces, ranch dressing. Stop with all the dairy,
Speaker 2: all the cheese, ice cream, the pizza. You're not a baby.
Speaker 2: Use common sense. What else is common sense? You're not
Speaker 2: a cow. Don't drink cow's milk. This is just logic.
Speaker 2: Human milk is for humans. So when you're a baby
Speaker 2: and you can't eat whole foods, you drink breast milk.
Speaker 2: That's what milk is for baby. Once you start eating,
Speaker 2: you don't need to drink milk anymore, and you don't
Speaker 2: need to drink another species milk. Cow's milk is for
Speaker 2: the calves, and guess what. Sheep milk is also for
Speaker 2: their baby sheep, and goat milk is also for their
Speaker 2: baby goat. It's common sense. You think we're supposed to
Speaker 2: be sucking on a goat's utter. No, it doesn't make
Speaker 2: any logical sense. Use logic. You think we're supposed to
Speaker 2: have meat every day, it's not logical. Think like you're
Speaker 2: a hunter. Gather eat your fruits and veggies, get all
Speaker 2: your colors of your rainbow, gather your food, and once
Speaker 2: in a while you might catch a chicken or a
Speaker 2: pig or a cow or a fish, or an egg
Speaker 2: or turkey mite once in a while, not every day.
Speaker 2: Don't eat eggs every day, don't eat fish every day.
Speaker 2: Don't eat chicken every day. Don't eat meat every day.
Speaker 2: It's too much. We need variety, variety of colors, variety
Speaker 2: of food. You got to keep it natural so you
Speaker 2: function better, feel better, and live a better life. This
Speaker 2: is doctor eric Kaplan. You're listening to boost your brain power.
Speaker 3: If you want to improve your brain function, help with memory, focus, sleep, digestion, energy, depression, anxiety, dizziness, balance, vision, headaches,
Speaker 3: brain fog, weight loss, or simply want to maximize your

Speaker 3: Parkinson's stroke, autism, add concussion, autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, vertigo, migraines,
Speaker 3: four posture pain, TBIs in and digestive problems. Doctor Kamplin
Speaker 3: is most famous for getting to the root cause of
Speaker 3: a wide variety of brain and health conditions rather than
Speaker 3: treating symptoms with traditional medicines and risky surgeries. To contact
Speaker 3: doctor Kamplin, you can call his team at two oh

Speaker 2: Function Better, Feel better and live a better life. This
Speaker 2: is doctor Eric Kaplan, and you're listening to boost your
Speaker 2: brain power. So one of the most common misconceptions is
Speaker 2: that we need calcium supplements as we get older. That's incorrect.
Speaker 2: You only need supplements if you're deficient, So check your levels.
Speaker 2: Don't take iron because you're anemic. Check all your levels.
Speaker 2: Don't take B twelve because you're a vegetarian. Check all
Speaker 2: your levels. It's not that difficult to figure out what
Speaker 2: you're deficient in. You don't need to take multivitamins. You're
Speaker 2: not deficient in all those vitamins. So when your body
Speaker 2: doesn't need it, then you're making it work, whether it's
Speaker 2: got to detox it or you gotta deposit it someplace else.
Speaker 2: Work it cause damage. I don't want that, so I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna take stuff I don't need. It's better to
Speaker 2: underdo it than overdo it. Stop taking twelve supplements you
Speaker 2: don't need it. It's not natural. God gave you this
Speaker 2: body to work normally, not to take all these pills.
Speaker 2: We don't need all this intervention. We gotta be more holistic,
Speaker 2: more natural. Stop trying to cheat. The system doesn't work
Speaker 2: like that. You gotta do what you gotta do. You
Speaker 2: gotta drink your water. You gotta get your sunlight. You
Speaker 2: gotta go outside and get your oxygen. You gotta be social.
Speaker 2: You gotta exercise every day. You gotta help others. You
Speaker 2: gotta have some purpose of life. You gotta get your sleep.
Speaker 2: You gotta reduce your stress levels. You gotta give to
Speaker 2: charity and volunteer. You gotta change the world. You gotta
Speaker 2: help others. You gotta live in a society. You gotta
Speaker 2: be social. Can't sit at home on your computer and
Speaker 2: your TV and your and your phone all day. It's
Speaker 2: not living life. Life is experiences. You're not gonna remember
Speaker 2: on your deathbed, all those nights of watching TV, watching
Speaker 2: the news. You're not gonna care about that on your deathbed.
Speaker 2: You're gonna care about your loved ones, your experiences, what
Speaker 2: goals you've accomplished, what good you did in this world right,
Speaker 2: And the biggest regret, it's people that don't live by
Speaker 2: their passion, their purpose. They were just getting by. You're
Speaker 2: not meant to work, watch TV, scroll on your phone,
Speaker 2: eat dinner, go home, go to bed, wake up, go
Speaker 2: to work, eat dinner, watch TV, go on your phone,
Speaker 2: go to sleep. And do that every day and then
Speaker 2: try and do something fun on the weekend. That's not
Speaker 2: a way to live. Every day. You got to experience life.
Speaker 2: Do something fun. I don't care what it is, what
Speaker 2: you're into, but have fun, all right. So we don't
Speaker 2: need calcium unless we're calcium deficient, right, So we only
Speaker 2: want to take vitamins or supplements that we need, and
Speaker 2: we got to get it from a quality company. Another
Speaker 2: misconception is genetics. So we hear all these things, Oh
Speaker 2: you know, this is my genetics. I get these genetic
Speaker 2: testing and Angelina Jolie she tested her genes and she
Speaker 2: has a breast cancer gene, so she took out her breast.
Speaker 2: That's a little bit too much intervention for me. I
Speaker 2: don't like it. That's un natural. What if you did
Speaker 2: the things on the environment that needed to be changed
Speaker 2: to prevent cancer from ever happening in the first place.
Speaker 2: That's called epigenetics. So genetics means, oh, I have this
Speaker 2: cancer gene, I'm gonna get cancer. That's the old way
Speaker 2: of thinking. Now modern science and research has taught us
Speaker 2: about epigenetics. You could actually turn off a bad gene
Speaker 2: by altering your environment. Right, So if I have some
Speaker 2: lung cancer gene, but I'm smoking cigarettes every day versus
Speaker 2: somebody else who has the same lung cancer gene. But
Speaker 2: they don't smoke cigarettes, they don't vape, they don't use cigars.
Speaker 2: They don't live in a polluted city. They have lots
Speaker 2: of air purifying plants in their house or home, such
Speaker 2: as alo vera, muddy plants, spider plants, snake plants. They
Speaker 2: live in the woods in the forest, their air is
Speaker 2: really clean that they breathe. They don't like candles or
Speaker 2: incense in the house. They don't have a job where
Speaker 2: they're inhaling toxic fumes, or they don't have a leak
Speaker 2: in their basement where they're inhaling mold, or they don't
Speaker 2: live with a smoker and get secondary smoke. There's secondhand smoke,
Speaker 2: which is where you know someone in your in your
Speaker 2: vicinity is smoking, but there's also third hand smoke where
Speaker 2: even if the person before you who lived in your
Speaker 2: house or home was a smoker. That smoke is in
Speaker 2: the walls, it's in the furniture, so you're inhaling third
Speaker 2: hand smoke. But if you take care of all the
Speaker 2: right things, you do your breathing exercises, you do hyperbaric
Speaker 2: oxygen chamber, you work on your posture, and you do
Speaker 2: diapramatic breathing, and you do the inhale four seconds, hold
Speaker 2: your breath for seven seconds, exhale for eight seconds. You're
Speaker 2: gonna make your lungs function an optimal level and you're
Speaker 2: gonna turn off that bad lung cancer gene. Right, let's
Speaker 2: say you have an alcoholic gene. You know both your
Speaker 2: parents are alcoholics. Yeah, you're more likely to be an alcoholic.
Speaker 2: But if you choose never to drink alcohol, right, especially
Speaker 2: as your brain develops, the worst thing for an alcoholic
Speaker 2: family is for the kid to drink before their brain's
Speaker 2: fully developed. A female brain fully develops at sixteen, a
Speaker 2: male brain fully develops around twenty two. That's typical. Obviously,
Speaker 2: there's variations with that, but that's what we see most
Speaker 2: of the time. So you have these males drinking at
Speaker 2: sixteen seventeen eighteen before their brain's fully developed. They're going
Speaker 2: to be addicted to alcohol if it's in the family.
Speaker 2: But if they choose not to drink alcohol and never
Speaker 2: to take that sip of beer or take that shot,
Speaker 2: then they're not going to turn on the alcoholic gene.
Speaker 2: They're gonna turn it off. That's epigenetics. I don't care
Speaker 2: if everyone in your family has diabetes. If you eat
Speaker 2: righte and don't eat all the carbs and the sugars
Speaker 2: and the starches and the breads and the bastas, and
Speaker 2: you don't have a sedentary lifestyle, and you don't eat
Speaker 2: late at night, and you exercise every day, and you
Speaker 2: reduce your stress and you drink lots of water, you're
Speaker 2: not going to turn on the diabetes gene. You're gonna
Speaker 2: turn it off. It's epigenetics. You can alter your genes
Speaker 2: by altering your environment. It's under your control. You could
Speaker 2: do it, but you gotta do the work. And people
Speaker 2: who have these genetic predispositions just have to work harder
Speaker 2: than others. So there's some people right they can drink
Speaker 2: and that's not gonna trigger their alcoholic gene. There's some
Speaker 2: people that could eat rice and potatoes as are not
Speaker 2: going to trigger their diabetes because it's not in their genes.
Speaker 2: But if you do have to in your genes, you
Speaker 2: gotta work extra hard whatever it is. You know. So
Speaker 2: my genes, we have bad bladders in our family, right,
Speaker 2: So I gotta work extra heart, and I gotta make
Speaker 2: sure that I drink water on an empty stomach. I
Speaker 2: gotta make sure I have the Celtic salt in my water.
Speaker 2: I gotta make sure that I wear the Gladiator, which
Speaker 2: is this amazing infrared belt. I gotta make sure that
Speaker 2: I don't drink coffee or alcohol that's going to mess
Speaker 2: up my bladder. I can't drink iced tea and lemonades
Speaker 2: and juices. That's not good for me. I just gotta
Speaker 2: drink the water with the salt and the lemon That's
Speaker 2: gonna be what I have to do. Because I want
Speaker 2: a good bladder. I gotta practice my kegel exercises more
Speaker 2: than the average person. I gotta work harder, but I
Speaker 2: could do it. As long as I do my biggest
Speaker 2: nerve exercises. My going to work better, and then I'm
Speaker 2: going to function better, feel better, and live a better life.

Speaker 3: This is doctor Eric Kaplan, and you're listening to boost
Speaker 3: your brain power. We're talking about medical misconceptions.
Speaker 2: Stuff that they tell us that might necessarily be true. Now,
Speaker 2: one of those things is mammograms. Right, I haven't seen
Speaker 2: enough research that supports mammograms prevent breast cancer. I haven't
Speaker 2: seen much evidence that shows these mammograms are saving all
Speaker 2: these lives. You know, breast cancer is a little bit tricky.
Speaker 2: You know, either it's going to grow so slowly that
Speaker 2: the mammograms aren't going to pick it up, or it
Speaker 2: grows so quickly once a year. Is it gonna do
Speaker 2: anything either unless on the off chance you do the
Speaker 2: mapiground at the exact time that the tumor is really
Speaker 2: growing quickly. And I remember, a tumor is the body's
Speaker 2: way of protecting you from cancer. Tumors are good. It's
Speaker 2: protecting you from all these bad cancer cells. The body
Speaker 2: is smart. Cancer is not a bad thing. It's a
Speaker 2: good thing. It's protecting you because if you didn't have
Speaker 2: that tumor, these cancer cells will be spreading everywhere. And
Speaker 2: then when we do surgeries and biopsies, we disrupt this cancer.
Speaker 2: And we are the ones that are causing a lot
Speaker 2: of these cancers to spread. It's called myacturogenic causes caused
Speaker 2: by the doctor. Sometimes if you just change your habits,
Speaker 2: you could shrink those tumors on your own and you
Speaker 2: get rid of the cancer on your own. The tumors
Speaker 2: and cancer are protecting you the body smart, it's doing
Speaker 2: what it's supposed to to save your life. And if
Speaker 2: you discover it, you better change some habits because you're
Speaker 2: doing something that the body doesn't like because it can't
Speaker 2: detox of all these chemicals. So, if you do have cancer,
Speaker 2: if you do have a tumor, it's time to take
Speaker 2: control of your health and do the right things. But
Speaker 2: are mammograms the best way of doing it. No, palpation's
Speaker 2: the best way. So check your breasts every day in
Speaker 2: the shower. Just check it. You'll know what feels normal,
Speaker 2: what doesn't feel normal. If you're feeling your body every day, men,
Speaker 2: you check your testicles, check under your armpits, feel what's normal,
Speaker 2: Look at your skin, see what's normal. Your hands are
Speaker 2: your best way to know when things are changing. If
Speaker 2: you really want to get medical testing for your breasts,
Speaker 2: but don't want the radiation of the mammograms, because sometimes
Speaker 2: if you radiate your breast every day, every year, eventually, yeah,
Speaker 2: you're gonna get breast cancer. Radiation radiation, radiation, radiation every year, eventually.
Speaker 2: Can't handle radiation causes cancer. Think about that. You know
Speaker 2: what protects you from cancer, the sun. You know what
Speaker 2: you don't get when you put on suntan lotion vitamin
Speaker 2: D and that makes you more at risk for cancer.
Speaker 2: So people, modern medical society is telling us the sun
Speaker 2: causes cancer. Does it really or does it actually protect
Speaker 2: you from cancer? And it's all the chemicals that you're
Speaker 2: putting on your skin that cause cancer. Stop putting all
Speaker 2: these chemicals on your skin. Start using more natural products.
Speaker 2: Ohoba oil, coconut oil, you can even use beef talo.
Speaker 2: There's natural stuff you can put on your skin alovera.
Speaker 2: You don't need all this crap and cbs full of
Speaker 2: alcohol that dries you out, full of fragrance that causes cancer.
Speaker 2: Look at your ingredients. If it says fragrance, throw it out.
Speaker 2: If you're putting on lotions with alcohol, it's a scam.
Speaker 2: Don't put alcohol in your mouth wash. You gotta be
Speaker 2: careful of all these products that are supposedly safe. They're not.
Speaker 2: Suntan lotions, the most toxic chemical you could put on
Speaker 2: your body. You gotta be very careful. And with all
Speaker 2: the hair dyes and makeups and all the lotions and
Speaker 2: soaps and cleaning stuff, it's all full of chemicals, especially
Speaker 2: that fragrance. Watch out for that fragrance, you gotta watch out,
Speaker 2: all right. So for your breasts, if you're concerned, you
Speaker 2: could do thermography. That's a medical test that has no
Speaker 2: radiation that can tell you if something's wrong. But always
Speaker 2: do it digitally, Always use your hands. That's the best
Speaker 2: way to know. Same for medical with the prostate. Just
Speaker 2: get a prostate exam. It's much better than a cat
Speaker 2: scan and an MRI and ultrasounds and all this crap
Speaker 2: doing all this radiation. Do it old school, that's the
Speaker 2: way to do it. Now, what else does everyone doing
Speaker 2: these days? Ozempic that's the diabetes medication of people are
Speaker 2: doing to lose weight. Normally, when you lose weight from
Speaker 2: eating healthier, exercising, reducing your stress, you're gonna lose it
Speaker 2: about eighty percent fat and twenty percent muscle. That's the
Speaker 2: normal way we lose weight. With ozempic, it's eighty percent
Speaker 2: muscle and twenty percent fat. It's the opposite. You're losing weight,
Speaker 2: but you're losing muscle and everything becomes weaker. And guess
Speaker 2: what else is a muscle your heart that becomes weaker.
Speaker 2: Guess what else are muscles? Your stomach and your testines?
Speaker 2: Those become weaker. Your bones become weaker, your muscles become weaker,
Speaker 2: your brain becomes weaker. Stop taking these diabetes medications to
Speaker 2: lose weight. I hate to break it to you, but
Speaker 2: you gotta do the work. Stop taking these pills to
Speaker 2: lose the weight. Do it on your own. Start eating healthier,
Speaker 2: Start exercising more, reduce your emotional stress, go to bed earlier.
Speaker 2: Start drinking more water. Stop eating processed foods. Stop drinking
Speaker 2: out of plastics. I had a patient that lost twenty
Speaker 2: pounds only only by getting rid of plastics. These plastics
Speaker 2: leak into the water, they leak into your food, and
Speaker 2: they cause you to gain weight. All she did was
Speaker 2: stop her plastics, turned everything into glass and stainless steel.
Speaker 2: Just twenty pounds in three months. The only thing she did.
Speaker 2: She didn't eat healthier, she didn't exercise more. She just
Speaker 2: got rid of plastics. So many ways for you to
Speaker 2: lose weight. Stop with this ozempic, please all right. Another
Speaker 2: medical misconception is that fat is bad. That is good.
Speaker 2: We want fat. Where do we get it from? Walnuts,
Speaker 2: brazil nuts, macadamia nuts, gia seeds, flax seeds, good healthy fats, olives,
Speaker 2: eat lots of olives, great fat, avocado, very healthy fat.
Speaker 2: Get your omega threes, your fish, your small fish, your mackerel,
Speaker 2: your harrying, your sardines, your salmon, not the big fish,
Speaker 2: not the white fish, the tune. Now, they have lots
Speaker 2: of mercury. We don't want to have too much of mercury.
Speaker 2: And don't eat fish from the Pacific Ocean because of
Speaker 2: the nuclear meltdown from Japan radiated the whole ocean. So
Speaker 2: when I buy fish, I get it from Atlantic, Norwegian, Mediterranean,
Speaker 2: icelandic All right, that's where you should get your fish,
Speaker 2: not from the Pacific Ocean, not the elex asking salmon,
Speaker 2: and definitely not from China Japan. So fat is good
Speaker 2: and fat does not make you fat. Now, don't eat
Speaker 2: the fat of the pork or the steak or the chicken, right,
Speaker 2: don't eat that fat. But eat good natural healthy fat.
Speaker 2: Coconut oil, you can do that. That's a good healthy fat.
Speaker 2: Lots of good healthy fats out there all right. Now.
Speaker 2: Another common misconception has to do with concussion. So we
Speaker 2: see a lot of patients with traumatic brain injury, a
Speaker 2: lot of concussion. Stick around to the end of the
Speaker 2: show and I'll tell you how to test for that.
Speaker 2: But a common misconception with concussion is that after you
Speaker 2: hit your head you should rest. That's actually gonna make
Speaker 2: your brain weaker. Now, you can't overdo it and strain
Speaker 2: your brain, but you can't underdo it either. So most
Speaker 2: people are told the wrong advice after they hit their
Speaker 2: head with concussion. So rest actually makes your concussion and worse.
Speaker 2: So when we have patients with concussion, we actually do
Speaker 2: brain exercise to get those areas of the brain that
Speaker 2: are damaged stronger. It's gott to rehabit. We can't overdo it,
Speaker 2: but we can't underdo it either. Another common misconception is autism.
Speaker 2: So a lot of people just think it's genetic and
Speaker 2: the only reason that numbers are increasing because diagnostic criteria
Speaker 2: has changed. Well, that's not true. It's due to all
Speaker 2: these increasing chemicals. The more chemicals exposed, the more brain
Speaker 2: inflammation we have, and it starts even from pregnancy, So
Speaker 2: that's why some kids are born with autism. The average
Speaker 2: baby now has about three hundred chemicals they're exposed to
Speaker 2: before they're even born. You know, the FDA has approved
Speaker 2: ten thousand chemicals in the United States no one the
Speaker 2: country has that. Most countries only have about five hundred
Speaker 2: and six hundred and seven hundred chemicals that are legal.
Speaker 2: We got tens of thousands that are legal here in America.
Speaker 2: There's too much chemicals. It's causing our brain inflammation. So
Speaker 2: you've got to start reducing all chemicals from all those
Speaker 2: crappy products that we're talking about, including our foods, including
Speaker 2: our cleaning supplies, including our storages, our clothes, all these
Speaker 2: spandex and workout clothes that all you women are wearing
Speaker 2: a full of plastics that are getting in your body.
Speaker 2: Start wearing cotton again. Stop wearing all these workout clothes
Speaker 2: that look good and tighten your body. They're getting through
Speaker 2: your skin. It's causing inflammation. It's too many chemical exposure.
Speaker 2: Don't purposely do it. Because if you want to function best,
Speaker 2: feel best, and live a better life, just listen to
Speaker 2: boost your brain power more when we come back from
Speaker 2: the break.
Speaker 3: If you want to improve your brain function, help with memory, focus, sleep, digestion,
Speaker 3: energy depression, anxiety, dizziness, balance, vision, headaches, brain fog, weight loss,
Speaker 3: or simply want to maximize your human potential and prevent
Speaker 3: future diseases. That this is the show for you. Don't
Speaker 3: mis boost your brain power with doctor Eric Caplan and
Speaker 3: you will learn natural, integrative, and holistic approaches to modern
Speaker 3: day medical problems such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's stroke, autism, add concussion,
Speaker 3: autoimmune diseases, insomnia, fibromyalgia, vertigo, migrains four, posture pain, TBI,
Speaker 3: skin and digestive problems. Doctor Kaplan is most famous for
Speaker 3: getting to the root cause of a wide variety of
Speaker 3: brain and health conditions, rather than treating symptoms with traditional
Speaker 3: medicines and risky surgeries. To contact doctor Kaplan, you can
Speaker 3: call his team at two oh one two six one
Speaker 3: two one five zero or visit his website at kaplindc
Speaker 3: dot com.
Speaker 2: Function Betner, feel better and live a better life. This
Speaker 2: is doctor Eric Caplan, and you're listening to boost your
Speaker 2: brain power. We're talking about modern medical misconceptions. Now, we
Speaker 2: see many children with autism in our offices. Autism is
Speaker 2: an underdeveloped brain, and what we need to do is
Speaker 2: rewire the brain. It's called neuroplasticity. Now, don't listen to
Speaker 2: people that tell you that autism is irreversible, that there's
Speaker 2: nothing you could do. There's lots you could do to
Speaker 2: improve your health. Just like you can improve your health
Speaker 2: if you have diabetes, you can improve your health if
Speaker 2: you have autism. The first step is called primitive reflex
Speaker 2: remediation exercises. Children with autism or adults with autism have
Speaker 2: these retained primitive reflexes that must be fixed before their
Speaker 2: brain can catch up to development. The second phase is
Speaker 2: motor and sensory. That's different movements, coordination, different sensory lights
Speaker 2: and sounds and smells. And then the third part is
Speaker 2: what most people start with, and why it doesn't work
Speaker 2: is because you got to do the first two parts first.
Speaker 2: So you got to do the primitive reflexes first, motor
Speaker 2: and sensory second. And then the third part with autism
Speaker 2: is the behavioral, the cognitive, the occupational, the speech, the physical,
Speaker 2: the social, the cognitive. That's the last part. But you
Speaker 2: can't do that part before you take care of the
Speaker 2: primitive reflexes. And you can't do that part before you
Speaker 2: take care of the motor and sensory components. That is
Speaker 2: the truth about autism. Okay, so we know a lot
Speaker 2: of the causes and we know a lot of the solutions,
Speaker 2: all right, and stick around to the end of the show,
Speaker 2: and I'll give you a way that you could get
Speaker 2: your brain analyzed to see if it's appropriate for you
Speaker 2: or your child. Right, let's talk about another medical conception
Speaker 2: is milk. Right, Milk is not healthy. Milk causes autoimmune disease.
Speaker 2: Milk causes lung congestion. Milk causes eczema and skin problems.
Speaker 2: Milk causes digested problems. So if you have any digested problems,
Speaker 2: you have acn, you have hives, you have eczema, if
Speaker 2: you have bronchitis or asthma, if you have inflammation in
Speaker 2: your joints, you have autoimmune disease, you have hashimotos or
Speaker 2: MS or siliac, stay away from milk. Milk intolerance is
Speaker 2: actually normal. Everybody's lactose intolerant. Everybody. If there's somebody who
Speaker 2: actually isn't, they're the mutation. But I've never met anyone
Speaker 2: who's not lactose intolerant. You might not realize it because
Speaker 2: there are a lot of effects are internal even balance problems,
Speaker 2: brain fog, headaches, bad periods can all be aggravated by milk.
Speaker 2: I read an article that came out of Harvard a
Speaker 2: few years ago that linked milk to Parkinson's disease. I
Speaker 2: don't want Parkinson's disease. I for sure will not drink milk. Right,
Speaker 2: So they hire these celebrities with their milk mustaches, and
Speaker 2: they get in the schools, and they get in the pharmaceuticals,
Speaker 2: and they get in the doctors in the hospitals, and
Speaker 2: they say, hey, milk is healthy. It's all marketing, all right,
Speaker 2: we do not need milk. Another medical misconception has to
Speaker 2: do with cancer. Right. The cancer industry will have you
Speaker 2: believe that radiation and chemotherapy are the only cures. No,
Speaker 2: a lot of the radiation and chemotherapy causes cancer. But
Speaker 2: anyone who tries to help you with cancer who does
Speaker 2: not use radiation or chemo is considered a quack. It's
Speaker 2: the way for them to make you look like you
Speaker 2: don't know what you're talking about. So the cancer industry
Speaker 2: is interesting because doctors get a kickback if they write
Speaker 2: a prescription for chema. You know, usually if you write
Speaker 2: a prescription for a headache medication or a diabetes medication
Speaker 2: or a pain killer, you don't get any money. But
Speaker 2: with chemotherapy they can actually get a kickback. There legally,
Speaker 2: all right, So you gotta be careful for that chemotherapy.
Speaker 2: You know, it's a business. Don't forget that. They don't
Speaker 2: want you cured. That's why they say remission. They never
Speaker 2: use the word remission. That's the worst term ever. That
Speaker 2: means your cancer is just gonna come back. Why put
Speaker 2: that in the universe? Right, So the cancer industry isn't
Speaker 2: what they tell you about. There's other cures for cancer
Speaker 2: that are not radiation, that are not chemotherapy. Okay, but
Speaker 2: that is the medical misconception. Another medical misconception is the thyroid.
Speaker 2: Most thyroid problems are due to autoimmune disease. It's called hashimotos,
Speaker 2: but doctors don't check you for that. They either say
Speaker 2: your hypo or hyper can't tell you how many like
Speaker 2: patients are on thyroid medication, and they don't even know
Speaker 2: what type of thyroid condition they have, because if you
Speaker 2: don't check the antibodies, you don't know if you have
Speaker 2: hashimotos or grays. And if you do have hashimotives, it's
Speaker 2: not actually a thyroid problem. It's an autoimmune disease. And
Speaker 2: if you have an autoimmune disease, you must eliminate dairy, gluten, corn, soil, coffee, alcohol.
Speaker 2: Those are the big six for autoimmune disease. Hashimotos thyroiditis
Speaker 2: is one of them. MS, multiple sclerosis, siliac gluten intolerance, psoriasis,
Speaker 2: rheumatoid arthritis, chogrins, lupis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome. These are
Speaker 2: all autoimmune disease and they all must be worked out
Speaker 2: by avoiding six foods. Gluten, dairy, corn, soy, coffee, alcohol.
Speaker 2: Those are the big ones, all right, that's for autoimmune disease.
Speaker 2: And if you fix your autoimmune disease, you're no longer
Speaker 2: gonna have a thyroid problem. Right. These are big misconceptions.
Speaker 2: And the last misconception is medicine. People think medicine is
Speaker 2: needed for you to feel better. Start paying attention to
Speaker 2: your symptoms. If you have a fever, your body is
Speaker 2: heating up to kill off the bacteria, the virus. Why
Speaker 2: are you gonna take a medicine to bring down your fever,
Speaker 2: because the body was doing that to protect yourself. Right.
Speaker 2: If you have a cancer tumor, your body is protecting it.
Speaker 2: It's encapsulating all your bad stuff. The body's smart. If
Speaker 2: you have pain, your body is saying hey, don't twist
Speaker 2: over to the left because you're gonna compress my nerve
Speaker 2: or my disk. You're gonna cause more muscle spasm. So
Speaker 2: it causes pain to prevent you from moving a certain way.
Speaker 2: If you take a painkiller or a muscle relaxer, now
Speaker 2: you're gonna move more and you're actually gonna aggravate your
Speaker 2: body more. Right, so there's an issue. If you have
Speaker 2: a headache, you're not getting blood and oxygen into your brain.
Speaker 2: Don't take a medication to hide the headache. Get to
Speaker 2: the root cause of the headache, right. You know, if
Speaker 2: you know my wife just lost her father, she's all depressed,
Speaker 2: she's very sad. You know, many doctors are gonna say, here,
Speaker 2: take antidepressants. No, you're supposed to be sad, You're supposed
Speaker 2: to cry, let it out. Why are you gonna take
Speaker 2: medication to hide your symptoms. It doesn't make sense. I'm
Speaker 2: a functional doctor. I get to the root cause of
Speaker 2: the problem. That's what you want to do, not to
Speaker 2: hide it with band aid. Now, how do you know
Speaker 2: where your problems are? Well, you want to do testing.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go over three tests and we're gonna give
Speaker 2: a gift Normally each test is five hundred dollars each,
Speaker 2: but we're doing a special today where for the first
Speaker 2: seven callers or texters or emailers you can get each
Speaker 2: test for only twenty one dollars each. Now one test
Speaker 2: is called the q EEG brain mapping. A q EEG
Speaker 2: brain mapping measures your alpha, beta data and delta brain waves,
Speaker 2: and based on the location of the abnormal brain waves,
Speaker 2: it can tell us which areas of the brain are
Speaker 2: functioning well and which areas are not functioning well. It's
Speaker 2: gonna tell us you have depression, anxiety. Do you have
Speaker 2: troubles with focus attention? Are you easily distracted? Do you
Speaker 2: have troubles with motivation, organization, planning, shifting tasks? Do you
Speaker 2: have memory long term, short term working memory problems, reading difficulties.
Speaker 2: Do you have problems with punctuality? Do you have language
Speaker 2: problems thinking of the right words. Do you have problems
Speaker 2: with your balance or your eyes or your ears? You
Speaker 2: have ringing in the ears, floaters in the eyes? Do
Speaker 2: you have light sensitivity? Do you have problems with your
Speaker 2: thyroid with your intestines? Do you have heavy metal poisoning?
Speaker 2: Do you have a virus? Do you have a traumatic
Speaker 2: brain injury. You can cut, you have insomnia, sleep deprivation,
Speaker 2: Do you have low dopamine, low acido coling? Do you
Speaker 2: have white matter inflammation? Do you have toxic stress? It
Speaker 2: literally picks up everything that's the qEEG brain mapping. It's
Speaker 2: normally five hundred dollars. First seven people can get it
Speaker 2: for twenty one dollars. The second test is called a
Speaker 2: VG video nostography. This is a great test where you
Speaker 2: wear these goggles. They measure different eye movements fast and slow,
Speaker 2: and up and down, and with light and dark, and
Speaker 2: with head movements and all different types of stimulations. That's
Speaker 2: gonna tell us which areas of the brain are overactive
Speaker 2: and which are underactive. For areas that are overactive, a
Speaker 2: lot of times you can get panic and you worry,
Speaker 2: and your mind's raising and your ADHD and you have
Speaker 2: you know, trouble sleeping and you have to go to
Speaker 2: the bedroom all the time, and you have heart palpitations
Speaker 2: and you always are distracted and you can't focus and
Speaker 2: think that is the overactive brain. The V ANDNG will
Speaker 2: also tell us which areas are underactive. You know, poor memory,
Speaker 2: low motivation, fatigue, always late, slow, metabolism, can't lose weight,
Speaker 2: stressed depressed, everything's down, So that is an underactive brain.
Speaker 2: So the VNG picks that up. And I like that
Speaker 2: because it tells me, okay, on what side of the
Speaker 2: body you have to stimulate and what side I have
Speaker 2: to relax, So it helps to figure out the imbalances
Speaker 2: from left to right. That test is also normally five
Speaker 2: hundred dollars, but for the first seven people to call,
Speaker 2: text or email, you can get that test for only
Speaker 2: twenty one dollars. The last test is a one on
Speaker 2: one with me, which is also normally five hundred dollars,
Speaker 2: and you can get that for only twenty one dollars.
Speaker 2: During the one on one with me, we'll go over
Speaker 2: your QEG, brain mapping, We'll go over your VNG, We'll
Speaker 2: go over any blood work you've done. I'll also check
Speaker 2: out your heart and your lungs and your gut. I'll
Speaker 2: check out your memory, your balance, your posture, your alignment,
Speaker 2: your eyes, your ears. So we do a complete evaluation
Speaker 2: all right, takes about forty five minutes. This is good
Speaker 2: for the first seven people. You can get it for
Speaker 2: only twenty one dollars. Right, if you want all three.
Speaker 2: You could do all three. You only want one, you
Speaker 2: could do one. You want to do two of them.
Speaker 2: You could do two, but you gotta be one of
Speaker 2: the first seven people to call, text or email. The
Speaker 2: number is six four six two two one, six seven
Speaker 2: three eight. And again you could call or email or
Speaker 2: text six four six two two one six seven three eight.
