Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jersey and Amanda jam Nation.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Doctor Carlo's in the studio and he's taking your questions.
If you've got a question, you could have contacted us
via the our social medias.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Yes, with our social media. Social media be burning questions.
Speaker 4 (00:13):
But if this is a medical and you're burning, i'd
maybe go to see you doctor doctor. Here's one from
Mikayla Doctor carl What and this is every parent's lament.
What uses more power leaving your lights on for a
few hours or turning them on and off constantly?
Speaker 5 (00:27):
You're better off turning them on and off. People used
to say that if you turn it on in that
one tenth of a second turning on, it uses as
much power as running it for five minutes. Well five
minutes is three hundred seconds, and so we're talking one
tenth of a second, so that's three thousand. You're trying
to say that in one tenth of a second it
uses as much power in switching on as running it
(00:47):
for three thousand seconds. Well, less impossible because if it's
drawing ten watts three thousand times, that is thirty thousand
what's and you would blow the lights in your suburb? Right,
So it's a myth and switch the monon off to
save electricity.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Okay, we could have done that, Matt Sprender.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
We could have Marcus written, why haven't we gone back
to the moon again?
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Because we were too busy having a war in Vietnam.
We are heading back towards the moon again. We have
got photographs of the things on the moon. Okay, now
for the real conspiracy here. Okay, I'll admit it to you. Okay,
it was, in fact, we too expensive to send astronauts
to the Moon because astinals a lot of need a
lot of training. So we sent actors and we shot
(01:27):
on the moon because it was cheaper to employ actors.
We don't want to look real. But okay, that's the lie,
is it right? We did go to the moon. I
don't understand why people say that. I have a colleague
who's gradually gone down a rabbit hole, and they told
me that in one conversation that Princess Diana was assassinated
by the British royal family. And then later in the conversation,
(01:49):
you know she's still alive, right, right, And but that
person believes both things. And so and with regard to
flat Earther's four percent of the American population of flat earthers.
And what they believe is that those lights in the heaven,
those stars and planets in the sun of the moon,
they're not actually physical objects. The term they use is luminaries.
(02:09):
In other words, God put those lights up there. And yes,
they ask you to believe that all the astronomers over
the last four centuries have been in the pay of
Big Glow. I want you to buy gloves because there's
nothing for them to see. And so when the astronomers
make all these papers, they've been bought off.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
It's all can't.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Big glob I love it.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
And one more here, This is from Shannon from Nikola,
And I'd like to know this because I take fish
oil because I've got bad joints and things.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Do fish oil and krill oil? Does supplements work for
us writers and for joints.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yes, and no one probably know.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
So I'll give an example of a drug that is
used for back pain sometimes is amy tripling.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Your three possible reactions.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
One, it makes you really drowsy on the day you
take it, and then you're drowsy for the next couple
of days, and your brain is all fuzzy and you
ring up the doctor and say why do you give
me this crap? Or you get absolutely no result and
you mention the doctor did nothing, or the pain goes
away in a small percentage of people, same drug, different people,
so we have different DNA. So overwhelmingly you get what
(03:14):
you need from your.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Diet, providing you've got a balanced diet.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
And I would recommend Professor Claire Collins follow her Claires
the Laire Collins. She's got a lot of articles about
this and she's my go to person on dietetics. So overwhelmingly,
it will do nothing for your joints. But if it
turns out that you're that person for whom it does
and it's not too expensive, oh my god. Lack of
pain is just a wonderful thing.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
And that's the thing. So if you're lucky.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
And on those sort of alternate medications. El McPherson she's
getting a bit of flack about her holistic response.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
It worked for her, and is it fair that she's
written a book saying, so how will people react to that?
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Okay, so I'm reckoning that you're here more than twenty
days a month.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Do you have coffee? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:54):
Okay, so how about one in every twenty cups of
coffee will kill you. So there's somebody there who's putting
poison in. And of course, of a month, one of
those cups has got a poison in. Would you drink
coffee for that month?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
So she had a cancer of the type where it
is entirely contained and ninety five percent of the time
it stays contained, and she had an operation which is
not highly mentioned. It's called a lumpectomy. So they just
go to that thing and they take it out, and
they do not go to the margins, and they do
not in her case because she didn't want to give
the drugs for that five percent. So she chose to
(04:31):
go in a lottery where she had a one in
twenty chance of having bad things happen. And luckily the
nineteen out of twenty worked in her favor, and she
was lucky. And I'm so glad that it paid out
well for her. But ask yourself this, if one in
twenty cups of coffee was poisoned, would you drink coffee?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
No?
Speaker 5 (04:49):
So she went into a lottery and she came out, well,
not everybody will nineteen Well one will die. If that's
your family member, you say, oh, why don't you take
the exto medical treatment and the issue responsible for people
not taking that treatment, I don't. I suppose I go
into a movie theater in the dark and I hurt
my mouth and I yell out the word fire and
then there's a trampling and then people die. Am I
(05:11):
responsible by putting that word out into the audience for
the death of that person who died in the trampling?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
What's the answer?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I'm not a philosopher. I think I would be to
some degree. That's why.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
So the reason I was working at the kids hospital
and after twenty years of virtually zero deaths from hooping cough,
a current affair and channel Line started saying, oh, the
vaccines don't work, because it gave him more ratings. And
then we started seeing deaths for the first time from
hooping cough after twenty years. And I was in the
kids hospital when these deaths were happening. And that's why
I left medicine. The best job I ever had my
(05:45):
title off was being a doctor in the kids hospital,
and I left that to go out in the media
and say get vaccinated.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Because I could do more good. And it was heartbreaking.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Because I had so much satisfaction from dealing with families
wonder time and making the better. But I could do
more in the community.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Thank goodness for you, doctor Carl.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
I've got post pumps every time I talk to you,
quite seriously.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
And a man has always got a stray ferret. You
can put down the pants back together, doctor Carl. It's
always great to talk to you. You can join him
on stage talking about his new memoir. Well you're on stage, people,
don't just join you on stage.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
It's at Orpheum.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Dot com Theater, which is brilliant dot.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Com dot au.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Or buy his memoir out now at all good bookstores.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Doctor Carl, thank you, Thank you so much. I love
with him.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
