Speaker 1 (00:14):
You are about to listen to the Doctor Dahlia Show,
sase stimulating medical talk radio. Any medical advice doctor Dahlia
Wax gives on her show should not be substituted for
an actual visit to your medical provider. And now here's
doctor Dahlia.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
We are back a Doctor Dollie show. Thank you all
for tuning in.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
One eight seven seven Doctor Dali one eight seven seven
d O C D A L I. So, the FDA
is taking steps to restrict the seven oh H opioid
products that apparently people are able to get at gas stations,
and these act like opioloids, and the chemical name seven
hydroxy matrogenin known as seven OAHE or seven hydroxy can

(01:09):
be dangerous. It's a concentrated byproduct of the kratum plant
and it has potential for abuse because it binds to
the opioid receptors, acting like an opioid. The FDA is
released in a report to now educate the public about
the health concerns and its distinction from the kradam plant leaf.

(01:30):
According to Robert F. Kennedy Junior, they say today we
are taking action on seven hydroxy as a critical step
in the fight against opioid addiction. We will protect the
health of our nation's youth as we advance our mission
to make America healthy again. So this recommendation, according to
the HHS, follows a thorough medical and scientific analysis by
the FDA and is one of several efforts to address

(01:52):
the agency's concerned about the growing availability of these products.
There are no FD approved seven OH drugs. They're not
lawful in dietary supplements. You cannot add it to conventional
foods and vape stores, according to Marty Mcarey, FJA Commissioner,
are popping up and selling these products that have concentrated

(02:16):
seven hydroxy or seven H. He says seven OH is
an opioid that can be more potent than morphine. We
need regulation of public education to prevent another wave of
the ovoid epidemic. So apparently people are able to buy
this at gas stations, corner stores, and vape shops and
kids are having access to these. Apparently there are seven

(02:41):
hydroxy products and it's hydroxy matrageny the full name or
seven OH products in fruit flavored gummies and ice cream cones.
If these are not shall we say, reviewed by the
FDA or regulated by the FDA, there's no accurate label,

(03:02):
and sometimes these might be disguised as cratum, and so
these aren't things that are are are happening. So the
FDA is warning companies, warning healthcare professionals, warning consumers, and
this cratum. It's a supplement sold as an energy booster,
mood lifter, pain reliever. But kratam has side effects too.

(03:31):
It's an herbal extract that comes from the leaves of
the evergreen tree called the mitro genous speciosa or speciosa Sorry, yeah,
and the tree grows in Southeast Asia. So cretum users
chew the trees leaves, swallow, brew dry cretum, and extract liquid.
But people have been using this in America as a

(03:54):
stimulant to give them more energy or make them feel calm.
But we're seeing people get addicted. We're also seeing people
get sick. Cradum works quickly and this is why it's
gotten so popular. The effects could last a few hours.
The more you take, unfortunately, the more side effects you
can have. The FDA is more people not to use it. Barely.

(04:19):
Poison control centers in the United States receive more than
thirty four hundred reports about the use of kradum from
twenty fourteen to twenty nineteen. Now this comes from Mayo Clinic.
We don't have data. I don't have the data here
going up to twenty twenty four but some people have died.
They had a high blood pressure, confusion, seizures. They could

(04:39):
get weight loss, dry mouth, nause of, vomiting, constipation, liver damage,
muscle pain, high blood pressure and credom can also cause dizziness, drowsiness,
change and smells, hallucinations, false beliefs, delusions, depression, trouble breathing, confusion,
and seizures. Being told that crowdum products have been linked
to a small number of deaths, why aren't these regulated?

(05:01):
And so because credam is sold over the counter, it's
allowing other things like this seven age to be marketed
as such when it's not. And unfortunately, people are thinking
they're getting something that is technically legal and over the counter.
So the Drug Enforcement Agency wants to go back to

(05:24):
the seven O age and make it a Class one.
There's far our Schedule one for illegality, you know, like heroin.
Marijuana is still a Schedule one, which is is you know,
kind of controversial because on one end, I want us
to study it, and I do think there's medicineal applications.

(05:45):
On the other end, it is harming people who use
them gateway drug. We are having people have psychosis. Look
at that girl that stabbed her boyfriend one hundred and
eight times after smoking a bong. So I do think
marijuana should be a scheduled drug, whether it needs to
be a schedule one. So that's but we have people

(06:09):
having access to things that are acting like opioids, and
if the seven hydroxymetrogenin binds to the opioid receptors, it
acts like an opioid, and that could cause later withdrawal,
respiratory depression, abuse. And I think what it is is
people want to feel better. I mean the olden days,

(06:32):
you would drink some coffee or drink some tea, you'd
get out in the sun and work the farm, maybe
meet and talk to other people. And nowadays it's I
need to roll out of bed and reach for an
energy drink or reach for a vape pen. And it
kills me to see how dependent we are. And we're

(06:52):
teaching our kids to.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Do that too.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
That's funny. When I was in college and medical school,
everybody was taking notes they were talking abouts. I didn't
want to take that. Nodos was I think a high
potency caffeine. I didn't want to do that because I
didn't want to get a heart attack. I was already
hyper as it was. Problem is is I didn't like coffee.
I would force myself to drink it on rounds just

(07:14):
to stay awake. Instead, I would drink diet soda a
little bit, But honestly I was too busy and I
just kept going. And I think it was my drive
that kept me awake. But many individuals don't know about
things until somebody tells them. And if their friends are
saying go get seven hydroxy, or go get Cratton, or
you go Vabe, these people are doing it and then

(07:36):
they get hooked. One eight seven seven, Doc Valley, don't
go away. Hey guys, it's Doctor Dahlia. Fantasy football season

All right, we are back on Doctor Dollie Show. Thank
you all for tuning in. One eight seven seven Doctor
Dollary one A seven seven d O C D A
l I. Big thanks to Talk Media Network for making

big thanks to you all for tuning in. We really
do appreciate it. Don't forget to follow us on Twitter
or ex at doctor Dollia Facebook, that doctor Dollia show

(10:38):
asked this all the time. What is the purpose of
the appendix, What is the purpose of the chin? What
is the purpose of male nipples? Why do we have
things in our body that are not needed, not necessary? Actually,
I think they're all necessary, even male nipples. They have

(10:58):
a role. Absolutely, they have a role. So I think
we need to kind of get out of our head
that there are parts of our body that are useless.
Wisdom teeth. People say, well, wisdom teeth are painted the butt,
we get wisdom teeth that we have to have them
taken out. For some individuals, those wisdom teeth are an
extra payer of teeth. They're very useful. But for others,
depending on our jaw, they may grow in awkwardly or

(11:23):
at an angle. I had to have mine removed. They
cause headaches. So if our jaws have started to evolve
and change, maybe somebody can argue that the teeth aren't necessary.
But there's a lot of people that still use their
wisdom teeth. So I think wisdom teeths have a role. Appendix.
I've told you guys, this appendix is not a useless organ.

(11:43):
The appendix does have a role. The appendix is a
hollow tube that can house zillions of bacteria, and it's
located at the start of the colon in the right side,
such that if there is a need for bac Tis
to colinate. Now, if the small intestine or large intestine

(12:05):
this because of let's say you add a diarrhea or
a stomach bug or your ill. The appendix has the
ability to house bacteria that can then colonize our intestine. Now,
there might be some other uses, but the appendix is
not a useless organ. Now, can people live well without

(12:27):
their appendix? Can they live well without their wisdom teeth? Yes,
they can, but it doesn't mean it's useless. There's a
lot of discussions on chins. Why do we have a chin?
What does that do well? I think it does help
us with facial expression. I think our chins do provide support.
I think it also provides protection when you hit your mouth.

(12:50):
I think the chin protects your teeth. How many times
have I fallen on my chin? But I haven't cracked
a tooth, So we do believe that the chin has
a purpose in terms of protecting your teeth. You got
to think back to caveman days. If you didn't have
your teeth, you didn't there were no dentures. You would
have a tough time eating and cheering into meat and
fish and vegetables and nuts. So your body had to

(13:13):
somehow protect you and the ability to eat. That's what
I think the chin does. Some people also think that
the chin might help in terms of sexual prowess and attraction,
where some people might want the broader chin, you know,
versus a mild or pointy one or so it might

(13:34):
be useful in that, but I really think it is
Its purpose is to help the blow and redistribute energy
that could be causing your jaw to crumble in terms
of facial trauma. That's how I feel chin does. Now,
what about male nipples, I think they have a purpose.
So male nipples happen because as you are growing as

(13:57):
an embryo, before the the chromosome starts branching out, causing
your male body organs to start develop, the mammary part
of your development has already been done, and so the
embryonic development. I think this is about the it's the

(14:17):
sex determining gene, the sr y prime on the Y
chromosome that starts, I believe about the six week of
pregnancy developing your male reproductive organs, but your mammary gland
tissue and nipples, because by default you're a woman until
the Y chromosome triggers the male growth. The memory part
is there. Now, why would God or nature do that

(14:40):
if you're going to become a male? Why waste energy?
Why waste resources on nipples and memory tissue? Well, technically
males have memory tissue, and if God forbid, it's it's
a I don't know, a famine or men have the ability.
It's gonna be really hard, especially if they don't have

(15:02):
the proper hormones.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
But it does allow.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
There to be a framework in case they do need
to produce milk. That's not though, my thinking in terms
of what the nipples are for. I think the nipples
are for sex, not so much for stimulation, but because
you know how women's breasts around and they they kind
of like stop you you know there. We spoke about

(15:28):
how the butt, the roundness in the human bodies will
tell somebody whoa stop and then you got the triangle
right of our pubic area, and then it kind of
tells you this is where you go, you know, so
you have the stop and you got the arrows, kind
of like traffic signs with men, same thing you know

(15:50):
in the in the the cave man days. And in
terms of you know, species, trying to find mates, all right,
a chest has to be attractive for some. For me
it's a biggie. I mean, when I'm looking at a guy,

(16:10):
I'm at eye level of their chest. I don't always
look at their waist and below. And so one way
to stop a mate, potential mate, and have them look
at you is again the circles, the contrast. If you
just had kind of a flat chest or wall, you

(16:32):
couldn't see. Now somebody would say, well why, I mean,
obviously if somebody had a chest, whether that had nipples
or not, you don't remember. People get near sighted, far sighted.
Sometimes you can't tell the difference between a dude and
a wall, especially if their jokes aren't funny. So I

(16:53):
think the nipples are a attraction to a contrast, to
remind you, white, stop, there's a man here. Look down.
There's also some arrows sometimes and then even more, shall
we say, appendages that point in certain directions, And you're like, oh, okay,

(17:18):
so I guess that is who I'm supposed to propagate
and propagate the species with. So I think there's a
lot of you know, body parts we have. Look at
our rudimentary tail are cocsis. So maybe our four fathers
and mothers and our previous ancestors had tails in evolution.

(17:44):
Why wouldn't that just go away? Why would we have
it in a curb? Well, because it does provide support.
It provides protection, especially now that we are bipedal and
we don't walk on our hands and feet, so it
provides some extra support protection, ligaments attached. So the cocksix
does have a purpose. I think it's I really find

(18:06):
you know, I don't. I'm gonna be really hard pressed
to believe anybody that a certain part of our body
is really useless. Okay, now I think a unibrow. I'm
tired of plucking my eyebrows. I would like to know
why sometimes we have to have eyebrow here. I don't

(18:27):
have it as much anymore, but boy, did I have
to do a lot of plucking. I'd like to know
why that has to happen. Maybe it's to protect the eyes.
I mean, I have lived in the sun most of
my life. I've lived in the sunnier climates. Maybe you
need thicker eyebrows to protect your eyes. It's like shade.
I don't like wearing hats. I'm not a big hat
wear Our lips have purpose. I can't think of anything

(18:50):
that doesn't have purpose, or nails have purpose. Let me see.
In fact, there's a list here of body parts that
are supposed to be vestigil. Oh hold on a second, wait,
I found it, and I want to find it again.
Your plaika semi lunarius, your third eyelid remnant. You got

(19:11):
a small fold of tissue in the inner car corner.
I remember. I think with the animals they call a
third eye, where it's that piece of tissue in the eyelid.
They say it's a small fold of tissue, and it's
a vestige of the nick titating membrane no longer a
functional eyelid. It does support eyeball rotation and it helps
with tear drainage. I never had any problem with plica

(19:34):
semble lenaris, as far as I'm concerned with the name
like that, it's probably useful your erector PILLI muscles and
goose bumps. People think your goose bumps and the pilo
erection that creates the goose bumps.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Don't have a role.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
I think they do. Goose Bumps increase the surface area
of your body. It also held pops bring the hair,
so if you need to in terms of temperature, in
terms of increasing your surface area, in terms of getting

(20:12):
the hair out to provide warmth, I think goosebumps do
have a reason, a purpose. It's a reflex. They said.
It would allow our ancestors to trap heat and to
be more furry against something I necessarily don't don't need.
So I'm good with that. Your palmar's longest muscle, it's

(20:33):
a muscle in the forearm that fourteen percent of us
don't have, all right, but it still is in the arm.
So anyway, I hope I taught you guys something one
eight seven seven dot dally don't go.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Right, we are back on Notre Dalisha.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
Thank you a for tuning in one eight seven seven
Doctor Dali one eight seven seven DC d A l I.
So let's go to some of your emails and messages.
Brian writes, Doc, none of my children or friends' children
go to church anymore, despite all being raised Catholic. How
do you suggest to your adult kids to embrace faith

(22:39):
more than they should, so you're not the first person
to ask. This is very common. We are seen in
the younger generations their attitude towards church and religion much
different than when older generations grew up. For me, I'm
gen X and I was raised. If you didn't follow

(23:00):
your religion, lightning bit would hit you.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah, so there was a lot of fear.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
The younger generations are bucketed a lot of traditions. They
are much more scientific in their thinking. They question the
existence of God more than Gen x's and baby boomers
and older generations. And also a big part of that
is society. And so in the olden days, you didn't

(23:27):
have Netflix TV all the entertainment. You had. Most of
your entertainment and community and friend group was through your church.
And so you would have socials, you would have Mass,
or you would have your or Judaism. You would go

(23:49):
to synagogue and then you would meet up afterwards, or
you would have Shabbat dinner, and so much of the
entertainment and the celebratory part as well as the morning
the religion was very entrenched in the life and in
your day to day practices. And I noticed that many

(24:11):
younger individuals don't feel community in their churches or temples
or mosques. They don't need to go to church to
make friends, to be with friends, to find a spouse.
And if they don't feel they have that need, they're

(24:35):
not going to donate, they're not going to sign up,
and they're going to use what they're more comfortable with,
the online online options. Also, COVID really hurt church and
temple and mosque attendants wants governors And the governor in

(24:56):
my state was Sicilac at the time, and we have
the high Hole coming up, and our rabbi was saying,
why can't you let people come to the synagogue to pray?
And apparently they opened up churches and synagogues right after
the high holidays and high holidays and that, Yeah, that was,

(25:16):
you know, a kind of a slap in the face
to you know, many people who you know are people
of faith. And once people saw, wait a second, I
could just pray online. I could watch mass online, I
could watch the service online. I could then I'm getting
my prayer in that way. But you're missing communion now,

(25:39):
you're missing You're missing a lot when you're not in
the church or in the temple. And so The question
Brian has is how do you talk to your kids
about embracing faith? And my children are less religious than
me in some respect, they're more religious in other respects.
And the first thing I've done with my children is

(26:02):
I've explained to them what I have personally lived through,
and I tell them, your religion is going to be
very personal. No two Jews, no two Catholics, no two
Christians worship the exact same, because your relationship with God
is unique. And if you do have a Judeo Christian
home or a Judeo Catholic home or Judeo LDS home,

(26:25):
they're going to be combining aspects of both faith, and
they're beautiful. Our faith is not the only one. Our
faith is not the right one. I know they say
Jews are the chosen people, but God chose I believe
all of us. That's why we're all here. God did
not like the Amalekites, the Philistines, the Hittites, they're all gone.

(26:47):
But he loves Jews, Christians, Catholics, Mormons, Muslims. We're here.
We're here for a reason. And to embrace religion doesn't
necessarily mean to me. I told him that you have
to follow every single law. But to me, don't be cocky.

(27:09):
Don't think that the reason why you're here on earth
is because of just a couple atoms exploding. That God,
I believe played a role because both of you would
have died if it wasn't for prayer and God superseding.
And I explained to them what I've seen and what
I've witnessed and what I believed. You don't have to

(27:31):
believe it. You're gonna get your own signs later, and
you might never get a sign. But one thing I
know is praying makes me feel better. And whenever I
go through any sort of issue in life, I pray
for strength. I don't pray for God to fix the situation.
I pray for strength and that has helped me time

(27:53):
and time again. Whether you need to see it statistically
or at a macro or micro level, that's between you
and God. But for me, this is why I have faith.
And I noticed that they are spiritual and they do

(28:14):
embrace faith. And one of my son's baby marrying the
love of his life who's Catholic, and I love her,
and I'm really excited because we're going to have a
Jewish Catholic home it's it's very exciting, especially since we
have other Catholics in the family and the love of
faith in God. You know what was interesting because both
of them have said, I really couldn't be with somebody

(28:38):
who didn't believe in God, and that was good for them,
and that worked out for them. But you know, when
you have you know, when you have family members who
are doubting, and that does happen. God understands that there's doubt.
In science, we always have doubt. I know the Biden
administration didn't let us doubt some of the data on

(28:59):
the vaccine and the dirty masks people were wearing. But
in science you are allowed to have hypotheses, test, question, doubt, reconfirm.
So if you do have scientific thinking individuals, well you
are allowed to. You know what science can't explain is

(29:20):
that God and let them. When this happened to you,
do you have a scientific explanation for it? Or do
you think God intervened? There's no right answer or wrong answer,
but look at what's going on in your life. And
then the thing I finally say is it can't hurt
to pray to God. Can't hurt to me if I

(29:44):
didn't I think well, that could be a problem because
again I grew up with more fear in terms of religion.
But does it hurt? Thank God, pray before a trip
that it'll be safe, Thank the Lord before you eat,
thank the Lord before you go to sleep, and that

(30:05):
it's okay to not follow a religion to its upteenth
percent of accuracy and loss. That's what overwhelmed me. I'm like,
there's no way I'm going to be able to follow
all the laws. That's impossible. And then you feel like,
well that I'm done for No be a good person,

(30:30):
do good things even if you don't pray, don't work
with charities, volunteer, be kind. You could pray and think
things in your mind, but God looks at actions and
ask them. You know, when you do something good, how
does that make you feel? That makes you feel good? Well,

(30:52):
then fine. Just make sure you always incorporate something good
in each part of your day. Do good for others,
do good for you for nature. If you see a
little ant or bug, don't necessarily step and kill on it.
Kill it if you don't have to. If it's a spider,
absolutely get the blowtorch. Okay, I don't like spiders. I

(31:14):
get that or if something that's gonna attack you, But
if you see a bee, don't bug the bee. Let
the bee go on. Have a respect for life nature
and it'll reward you. Comes full circle one eight seven

Speaker 2 (34:16):
All right, we are back on nad Alisha.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
Thank you all for tuning in. One eight seven seven
Doctor DOLLI one eight seven seven d oc Dli. So
I've received a couple of emails over the last few
months that I haven't addressed, but I think I want
to address them now because there's there's a few that
are kind of similar and I kind of like combining

(34:40):
similar topics. So one of you had asked, how did
I get my boys to agree to go to Catholic school?
And what did I think about Catholic school in terms
of education? That was an interesting question. So I was
going to write them back, and I never had a
chance to. And then when we were talking about charities,
and one of you had been a critic of the church,

(35:04):
talking about how you know the donations are being publicized,
what donations they make, and they're making tens of thousands
of dollars a week, and how you know you think
that churches could be some of the biggest, shall we say,
recipients of of I guess donations that might not necessarily be.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
The best use of spending that.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
I don't want to go into what they said because
I kind of disagree. They were talking about scams and
things like that, and I I have a much more appreciative,
I guess attitude towards religion and donations because you know
that to me, when the Bible said we had to

(35:51):
submit a type, do our type, that was I guess
i'd Originally the Old Testament where in order for the
rabbi or the leave those were levites at the time,
to run the the synagogue and to provide that support,
to provide prayer, somebody had to support them. Just like

(36:14):
we pay taxes for there to be police, for there
to be firefighters. We can't do it all. So in
order for there to be these other people doing these
other jobs that you need, you come up with a system.
And for religion, it was a tithe where ten percent
of your income would go to the temple or synagogue.
Some churches kept that on the LDS Mormon Church does

(36:38):
that where they do the tythe Some Jews will still
do a type, some might do less, somebody do more.
But it's to me pretty I think justified because if
they are there for they have rent to pay, they
have security, they have clergy, they have to pay, they
have admin, they provide welfare and support for individuals. I

(37:04):
absolutely have no problem donating or doing what needs to
be done to help the community. Now, the church and
religion has not become as shall we say, much of
a corstone in cities and communities as it used to be.
And so now people are questioning, They're like, well, why

(37:26):
am I giving them this money? I have to give
money to everybody. There's you know, everybody else now asking
for money. And I'm not saying the church provides security,
et cetera. But if people don't go to church on
a regular basis, they don't you know, or temple, et cetera.
They aren't necessarily seeing where that money goes to. They're
not understanding the benefits, they're not utilizing it. And there's

(37:50):
also now a lot more I guess, choices for individuals
to go.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
There are Catholics.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
Angelicans, episcope Baliens, Christians, Jews, there's different types of Judas.
You have Orthodox Judaism, you have Reformed Judaism, you have
Conservative Judaism. You have Habah do you have and so
it you know every every you have mosques, you have
so every you know, shall we say, entity needs their

(38:18):
bood a hindus. They they need their support system. And
I see the work that they do. I also understand
their's salaries, and I understand there's admin and rent and
air conditioning, et cetera. And so for me, I'm very
lenient as it pertains to what they need because their
enrollment is very volatile now and vulnerable, and so as

(38:44):
opposed to government funded entities or universities who could rely
on you know, funds and and other you know, the
the religious sector is very vulnerable, and I really worry
that what we're not going to have the protection that
we need for our religious institutions as people are becoming

(39:08):
less pro religion and less supportive of that. And I
really worry because their role is imperative and crucial. So
my attitude towards that is, you know, if they're doing
what they're supposed to be doing, and they're being transparent
about where the funds go, and most of these entities

(39:29):
need to be, especially if they're nonprofit, I'm absolutely fine
with the donation aspect of that. Now, in terms of
how did I get my boys to go to Catholic school,
it was easy. Hey, they wanted to go. Now, why
would my boys want to go to Catholic school because
all their friends were going. So the grade school they

(39:49):
were going to just ended up where a lot was
one of the feeder schools to Bishop Gorman, now Bishop Gorman.
So it's interesting because I got another email. You know
Bishop Gorman. You know, didn't Bishop Gorman have a stereotype
or a reputation back in the eighties. There was a

(40:10):
reputation as many private schools did have, especially in the eighties,
where well those who went to I guess private school
had more money, and some of these individuals with more
money had more access to drugs. So when I was
in high school, Bishop Gorman was known to be a

(40:33):
party school. That changed, and I got to tell you,
I was really really impressed with how Bishop Gorman had
changed in terms of doing drug testing, in terms of
you know, in fact, my son wanted to goof around.
He was he just likes to mess with the teachers.
He got that from me. And so he's sitting in
his car and he's waiting to pick up his brother

(40:55):
and one of the priests walks by, So he rubs
his nose really really fast and smiles. So the priest calls.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
Him in say, now, we got to do.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
A drug test, right, because that's what they would do.
The didn't PERI out of drug test, so he doesn't drugs.
Does of course he's clean because he doesn't do drugs
or whatever. And then I got a call, you know,
from the school saying, you know, just want to like,
you know, we did this. You know, he was negative
for drugs, And I go, was he doing the wipe
nose thing again, you know, you know what, go ahead
and suspend him.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
Yeah, And they're like, well, we don't have to.

Speaker 3 (41:27):
He didn't you know, he passed everything. I go, yeah,
but he does stupid and I'm sick of his jokes.
All right, I don't want to have to waste your time.
But you know, he thought it was funny and all that.
But they were They're really diligent with that. I mean,
I was really impressed with how they had been very
uh you know, I guess uh engaged in making sure

(41:50):
that kids were not because of the previous reputation of
the school from decades ago. The other reason why I
would recommend Catholic School to individuals is the support system.
If I could have had access to a priest in
high school or school. Oh, I would have loved that.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
I mean the the you know.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
I remember there were school counselors and I went to
twelve schools, but I would have you know, I remember
not really liking the counselors too much. And I remember
my parents telling me if I spoke to a school
counselor about anything at home, I'd get in trouble. But
if I could go to a priest and I could say, look,
you know a rabbi saying, oh I was there to
talk about religion, I wasn't there, you know, to you know,

(42:39):
talk about home life, that could have been really conducive.
And you know, I asked my kids, I go, do
you guys go to confession when you're at Catholic school?
They go, Mom, there is no confession at Catholic school.
I go, but you have mass. Why is it there confession?
They go, because the line would would be out the door,
I mean through the parking lot onto the street. Okay,

(43:01):
I have kids confessing and nobody would go to class.
There's no time right for you know, there's not enough
religious staff for there to be. I'm sure some people
are able to work out confession. But you know the
fact though, that the kids know that there is support
though for them, and they actually liked a mass. They

(43:23):
dressed up so and then the education was fantastic. The
education was fantastic. So yeah, I am a fan of
Catholic school, religious school. I think there's a lot that
can be offered one eight seven seven, Doctor Dolly. Looking
