Hello and welcome everyone to another episode of Daily with

(03:13):
Doc Pharmacist Fridays. And you know what Pharmacist
Friday's means? It means we have our illustrious
friend, Pharmacist Ben Fuchs in the house with us.
And let me just tell you a little bit about Pharmacist Ben
Fuchs. He is a fantastic man.
He gives of himself and his timefreely and he's just a pleasure

(03:39):
to work with. Really bright, really friendly
and funny gentleman pharmacist been.
And you know, just to get in this craw a bit.

(04:22):
Pharmacist Ben how's it going today?
It's going good. How are you doing today, AJ?
Good to see you. I'm.
Doing well to. See you though a little bit.
There's some kind of reflection coming off here.
Oh, wait a minute. Oh, the the Zing isn't starting
early today, folks. Rare form Ben bright reflection.

(04:43):
That's right. Well, Farmers has been, you
know, there is little you. You'd mentioned before to me
privately that there might be a little distress going on.
As to why? I say distress, so stress.
You said stress. Yes, stress and distress are
different. That's a, That's an interesting
point, though. I'm not being, I'm not just
making. It's not just a semantical

(05:03):
distinction. Distress is a stress that is
burdensome. I call it duress.
It's burdensome, but stress by itself doesn't have to be
burdensome. There's eustress, EU, that's the
Greek prefix for good. There's eustress, which is the
the opposite or the antonym of distress.
And they're both a type of stress.

(05:25):
So stress can be good or bad. It can be distress or it could
be eustress. And eustress is actually
beneficial. The body grows and develops and
and gets stronger and conditionsof eustress.
And so you got to have a little bit of stress.
The reason that's important is because we have this negative
connotation every time we hear the word stress.
And it's important to distinguish whether that stress
is eustress or distress good stress.

(05:46):
Or how however however you were intimating that the stress
relates my shiny to my shininesswas not the.
Good though, and I was I you know, stress is kind of a vague
word. The specific term or the
specific cause is cortisol. And in other words, cortisol is
your stress hormone. You know, I'm sure.

(06:07):
And oily skin or skin oiliness is one of the ways the body
deals with survival threats. It's part and parcel of an
entire spectrum of symptoms. So for example, oily skin,
vasoconstriction in certain parts of the body and
vasodilation in other parts of the body, Constipation,

(06:32):
hyperpigmentation that's dark spots or or melasma they call
it. Those are all manifestations of
this generic stress response, which is connected to a whole
bunch of stuff. So when we're our bodies under
stress, a syndrome ensues that affects a whole bunch of
symptoms. And that's why you hear this
generic or stress associated with all kinds of symptoms, all

(06:52):
kinds of health challenges, because the stress response is
keyed into a whole bunch of biochemical processes, some of
which are associated with problematic conditions.
For example, Constipation, hypothyroidism, for mentioned,
melasma, hyperpigmentation, infertility, anxiety, insomnia,

(07:13):
weight gain, and oily skin. These are all signs that the
body is trying to deal with somekind of what it perceives as a
survival threat. And that survival threat may
actually not even be a survival threat, but to the body it is.
So, for example, mental or psychological issues that we
perceive or can be perceived as survival threats when clearly

(07:37):
they're not. So you get a credit card bill
or, or, or IRS audit or something happens to your, your
kids or you get fired from your job or whatever.
To the body, which is always responsive to the, to our mental
nature, that's a survival threat, even though obviously
it's not a survival threat. But to the body, based on how
the brain perceives it, it can be it can initiate survival

(08:00):
chemistry, survival threat chemistry.
Well, thank you very much for that.
So now the whole world knows that I'm full of stress.
And by the way, one of the one of the stressors that leads to
oily skin is hypo glycemia. So for sugar eaters, people, no,

(08:21):
I'm not saying this is you, but people eat a lot of sugar.
What'll happen is they'll get this high blood sugar, low blood
sugar roller coaster. You eat a lot of sugar, your
sugar goes up, blood sugar goes up, insulin comes to the rescue,
pulls the sugar down, and for a short period of time, your
hypoglycemic, your low blood sugar.
This is particularly a problem when your insulin is real jumpy.
You've been eating a lot of fastburning carbohydrates under

(08:44):
those conditions that drop in blood sugar can initiate a
stress response. So high blood sugar from eating
Donuts and Snickers bars, not inyour age, I'm not talking about
you, but high blood sugar from eating, high blood sugar from
eating a lot of high glycemic index foods like sweets, for
example, will ultimately cause low blood sugar via the insulin
response. And that can lead to stress
response, which can show up as oily skin.

(09:06):
And I bring that up because I see that in kids a lot.
And if I see kids who have not necessarily acne, but if I have
oily skin and perhaps even acne,usually that's indicative of the
beginnings of insulin resistanceand chronic hypo, low glycemia,
low blood sugar. You know you can't get away with

(09:27):
eating a candy bar around pharmacist band, say.
That don't say. That no, because it shows like
you can look at me say, AJ, you've been eating cake.
No, it's not one. Cake again.
No, it's not one Candy bars. Chronic candy.
Yeah. OK.
So Speaking of sweetness, we're going to start on our on our

(09:51):
question because I'm looking forone of our coaches who's
supposed to be there. She is.
Natalie is here. Who's got a question?
So Natalie, you can get ready, but we're going to start with
from a question from a viewer named Nancy.
She says please address the use of maltodextrin in two point O

(10:12):
that spikes your insulin worse than sugar.
Well that goes under the category of a little knowledge
is a dangerous thing. So yes, it is true that
maltodextrin will cause an insulin spike.
Maltodextrin has a high glycemicindex.
The glycemic index is a measurement of how fast

(10:32):
something will break, break downthe sugar, how fast it's
absorbed in the body, how how, how much of an impact it's going
to have on your blood sugar. And it's true that maltodextrin
is rapidly broken down and and it does cause a quicker and more
dramatic insulin spike than glucose will than than sugar
will, I should say. But the maltodextrin

(10:54):
concentration is so tiny that really it's, it's, you're not,
it's not even going to be noticed.
It's just a, a little touch and it's basically in there.
It doesn't most actually doesn'ttaste sweet.
So it's in there as a, as a, as a flow agent.
It helps improve the, the dispersion of all the various

(11:14):
nutrients in the, in the beyond tangy tangerine.
And it's just, it's a trace of it.
It's, it's hardly anything. So that was true.
And our, our, our list, our, ourviewer, our, our listener,
whoever, however she's listeningto getting a hold of our podcast
or our video, it's she's right. It is going to spike glucose.

(11:36):
That is true. But there's such a tiny little
amount to them that it's, it's next to insignificance.
But you got, you got way bigger fish to fry, Nancy, than the
tiny bit of maltodextrin that you're going to get from beyond
tangy tangerine. Not only that, but you're
getting a ton of other nutrientsthat are going to help stabilize
your blood sugar. So a little knowledge is a
dangerous thing because she's right.

(11:57):
Yes, maltodextrin does have a higher glycemic index than
sugar. But the the insignificant amount
that's in there, as I say, as a as a flow agent, it keeps the,
the, the nutrients from caking together is really it's next to
nothing. Hey Antre salt as usual now

(12:17):
Becca, just had a follow up question.
Can stress also contribute to dry skin?
Yeah, in the long run, absolutely.
Hypothyroidism, there's a relationship and and that's
this. That's a good question actually,
because this falls into the category of everything that's
connected to everything else. And it really highlights the the
flaws in our reductionistic medical model that focuses on

(12:40):
the skin or focuses on the adrenals or focuses on the
thyroid or focuses on the digestive system as if they were
separate components of the body.They're not.
They're all integrated to each other.
So can stress cause dry skin Ultimately, Yeah, because
stress, adrenal stress will leadto cortisol secretion and
chronic secretion of cortisol over the long run will suppress

(13:02):
the thyroid. And that's what that's the
adrenal famous adrenal fibroid complex that we talk about as a
Third Point of triangle of the triangle disease.
And dry skin is a classic sign of hypothyroidism.
So in the long run, yes, via therelationship between cortisol
and the stress, cortisol and thethyroid.

(13:25):
Makes sense? Very interesting, very often you
mention the benefits of fasting and I've got 2 sort of fasting
questions. One being from Sunny.
What's the safest 7 day fast fora pre diabetic who's 67 years
old, 165 lbs. The safest type of fast for a

(13:50):
pre diabetic. Yes, seven day fast.
Safest 7 day fast for a pre diabetic?
All right, well, I don't even like the term pre diabetes, so
I'm assuming they mean that thisperson's blood sugar is this
person start to lose control of their blood sugar And then what
was the the weight, height and weight is that give me 100.
Six 165 lbs. There's no height.

(14:12):
OK. 67 years old. OK, so without height, it's hard
to say what 165 lbs is, but so we'll leave it at that.
Pre diabetic just means the blood, the patient's starting to
lose control of the blood sugar.So I but the safest kind of
fast, I'm not really sure what you're what you mean by safest
kind of fast, because that kind of implies that there's
dangerous kinds of fasts. And I don't know what that

(14:34):
really means because the fastestjust when you stop eating.
So there's no like dangerous fast as opposed to a safe fast
because all they really mean is that you're that you stop
eating. So I'm not really clear on how
you would answer that question, although I can tell you that for
diabetics, when you fast and youreduce obviously the, the
ingestion of carbohydrates, sugars, what will end up

(14:57):
happening eventually is your body will start to burn its own
fat to get energy because there's nothing coming in.
So it's going to need energy somewhere.
It burns fat for energy and that's called ketogenesis.
And that's actually a good thing.
So you'll get you'll be getting more, more energy from ketones
or ketone bodies, as they say, and that's going to really help

(15:18):
with diabetics. In fact, fasting is a great
strategy for diabetics or low calorie.
The ketogenic diet isn't really a fat is isn't a total fast, but
it's a very low calorie diet. But fasting will do the same
thing. Ultimately, you need your
nutrition. So you don't want you're not a
fast forever, but fasting for a day or two is ideal for
diabetics. So then a follow up from Drew is

(15:39):
can you take the BTT in Calcitati during a prolonged
fast well? Would a small amount of calories
get rid of the autophagy benefits?
No, there's very little caloriesin beyond tank Tangerine, next
to none and I don't know what was the other one you said the.
Cal Toddy There's a little. More I think in the Cal toddy,
but no, it's pretty insignificant.
You can. You're not going to.
You're not going to jeopardize autophagy or the benefits from

(16:00):
fasting with your supplements. All right, Pharmacist Ben, now
we have. I have real people.
We have our one of our doozies. Natalie, unmute yourself,
please. Hello my friends, how are you
today? Hi, Natalie.
Hi. Natalie, are you able to ask her

(16:21):
question or you need me to kind of?
I was just saying how about you formulate the question and I can
fill in the blanks because I think you might get my semantics
a little. Clearer.
All right, so Natalie's got a fib, She's had the blood sugar
issues, she's got a back issue and write all these.
Down you got a whole list here for me.

(16:42):
Yeah, well, you know. Back issue A-fib What was the?
What was the? Back issue in a fib, no
gallbladder. Natalie, what are you doing
here, girl? Metropolol Eliquis.
Nope. OK, hang on.
I've. Got to I.
Got the eliquis? Been using.
The EFA, the Omegas instead of. That so she, so she's trying to

(17:03):
wean herself off and and Natalie, I did mention to you
EFA plus and Ultimate EFA, the Omega is not a substitute.
So, and no matter what we've learned and then she's on the
Hope product, which is the menopausal she's had.

(17:24):
And I mentioned the Hope productbecause it's got a fabulous
probiotic in there and she's hada history of digestive issues.
Well, yeah, OK, so I hang. There's so much going on here.
So I got a fib. I didn't hear the second thing
after a fib. So the A-fib goes back and then
we talked. A couple of no ma'am, no ma'am.
I need the second thing after AJsaid A-fib.

(17:46):
You said something else after that.
I mentioned A-fib. No gallbladder I.
Thought there was something I missed.
I got a fib. No gallbladder, eliquis and
metoprolol. Amlodipine.
Amlodipine. What am I missing?
Not drugs, but just in terms of everything.
The list, not just. Drugs Hypothyroid.
Hypothyroid. OK, gotcha.

(18:07):
OK, blood. Sugar Unithroid.
What was that blood sugar? Elevated elevated blood sugar.
Elevated blood sugar OK and whatwas the other?
One on unithroid as the. Yeah, what else?
Yep, that that's it. OK, so, so Natalie, I, I,
Natalie, let me ask a couple things here and everybody should
listen to this because this is kind of generic what Natalie was

(18:29):
going through. And I'll point out here in a
moment here why I say that. So how, how old are you?
Can I ask you? Approximately 67. 67 OK.
And again approximately if you tell me your height to weight.
What was the last question? Height to weight if you if you
just don't. Mind 160.
And height. 5/2. OK, gotcha.
And then how long are you part of doing Youngevity or are you

(18:52):
new on the phone? Yeah, I've been part of
Youngevity for quite a while. Things were fine until some of
the circumstances got kind of out of control.
And you know, I think we had talked the I have been fall of
23 had been over over medicated on my at that time the armor

(19:14):
thyroid, which is what flipped me into A to a fib.
No armor Thyroid. Enough with your name anymore.
That's not Yeah. So let's let's talk about all
the stuff that's going on. OK?
First of all, it didn't happen overnight, correct?
This is degenerative. The not not discussing your
drugs. We got Afib, we got gallbladder

(19:34):
removal, which to me is a digestive issue.
And then we got hypothyroidism and elevated blood sugar.
OK, so pretty much you're dealing with what we call the
triangle of disease here, OK. You see the digestive, digestive
issues, the gallbladder. And by the way, older women are
more are at higher risk for gallbladder issues than anybody
else. Why do you suppose that would
be? It has to do with estrogen, the

(19:56):
hormone estrogen, which is your third plan with triangle
disease. So you're this is a classic
triangle disease issue. You know, understandably,
because that's what we do in ourculture.
You go on to the doctor and they're looking at every single
component. As we just talked about briefly,
they're looking at every single component individually.
Gallbladder clogged up, they take it out heart.
You got a Feb, we're going to give you drugs that poison.

(20:19):
Literally, literally. Poison your heart to slow down
the heart. Before I even digress, before I
even continue, let me just ask you this.
Anybody out there think it's a good idea to poison your heart
to make you feel how better? Who the heck thinks that's a
good idea? Your doctor and the medical
model. But I just just, I just had to
throw that in. You can see the lunacy here.

(20:40):
So they look at your heart and so they give you a medication
for your for your heart. Several actually and and
actually you're on a beta blocker, a calcium channel
blocker, as if 1.1 form of poison for your heart sign that
you've got 2. And then they're also I hate
having to not talk to your doctor.
I wish I could talk to your doctor right now, but I can't.

(21:03):
So you're on 2/2 heart poisons, if you will, a calcium channel
blocker and a beta blocker and then you're on a blood thinner.
OK, so your your cardiovascular system is really being hit hard
with major weaponry because theyweren't trying to calm your
heart down. And when you're going to a THIB
because the blood doesn't, you know what a THIB is, your heart

(21:25):
kind of jiggles, right? So instead of beating like this,
it jiggles. And because it jiggles the
circulation, the blood doesn't circulate as effectively.
So it has a higher tendency to clot.
So in order to protect against the clots, they give you a blood
thinner. OK, you know, I don't even want
to think of that. Get started on that.
So and then your hypothyroid, which is the jumping off point

(21:45):
to everything else. Suppose it all begins digestion.
So again, I want to beat the beat that horse here, belabor
the point. How long do you think you've had
digestive health issues for? So that started in 92 when they
took it out, 92 is when they took out.
No, come on, come on. Why did they take out the
gallbladder if you didn't have adigestive gall?

(22:08):
Obviously. Yeah, they took it out.
They would block like pea gravelblocking up.
What is that? What is gravel?
What does that mean? You had a digestive problem.
They took out the gall, but as adigestive structure, you
understand that, right? The gall was part of your
digestive system, right? So they took it out because it
wasn't working properly. So you had a digestive problem.

(22:28):
By definition, part of the digestive system wasn't working.
So what I'm saying is you had a digestive issue for a long time
and it showed up as a gallbladder issue as a as
stones. So instead of backtracking
everybody out there, when you have stones, you got a digestive
issue. Stones are the end result of an
intestinal problem. So the answer is not to take out

(22:50):
the darn organ. The answer is to work on the
intestinal health and digestive health.
On top of all that, the intestine and the there's a
major relationship between the gallbladder and blood sugar.
Gallbladder and bile are one of the control points for blood
sugar. Chances are you had a blood
sugar problem percolating along,but once they took the

(23:12):
gallbladder out, then you have more blood sugar issues.
OK. And once all that happens, once
you get the blood sugar issues and the gallbladder issues,
you're going to end up with adrenal stress issues.
You're probably dealing with adrenal issues.
It was like anxiety, insomnia. It could have even involved.
It could even be the cause of the A-fib.
And then that affects the thyroid.

(23:33):
And so that reason I wanted to talk about this is because it's
classic, you are a classic case of the obliviousness of the
medical model to the triangle disease.
And if you understand the triangle disease, if everybody
out there understands the triangle disease, this is going
to save your, this is, it will save you and your friends
gallbladder and, and, and longevity and health down the

(23:53):
road. So without, you know, I don't, I
don't want to, like I said, I don't want to belabor the point,
but you got to get to the sourceof the matter and that's the
intestine. You have the gallbladder removed
and that's going to compromise you a little bit because you're
not going to be able to absorb your fats as effectively and
you're not going to be able to detoxify substances.
The bile, bile is not only important for digestion, we
always talk about that, but it'salso important, as I mentioned,

(24:14):
for blood sugar, it's a control point for blood sugar and it's a
detoxification fluid, particularly for hormones.
So there's a whole bunch of stuff happening.
I can't tell you about the drug,I can't tell you what to do with
the drugs. That's between you and your
doctor. But I can tell you that you, you
want to work with your doctor tofigure out how to wean yourself
off. At this point, probably the most

(24:35):
important, the most important symptom that you have involves
your heart. In the A-fib right now, there's
a very close relationship between a fib and and
dysclycemia, not diabetes, dysclycemia.
So you want to get your blood sugar under control.
The blood is probably inflamed and once the blood becomes
inflamed, oxygenation to the heart is compromised and a fib

(24:56):
is a is most important 'cause isa problem with oxygenation of
the cardiac tissue, the heart tissue.
So oxygenation is going to be very important for you.
Anything that you could do to improve blood flow that is slow
deep breathing techniques, use your diaphragm as a as a pump, a
secondary heart or as an adjunctto your heart.

(25:19):
Slow deep breathing in the diaphragm goes down.
Exhale, the diaphragm goes up. As you're slow deep breathing,
you're pumping the diaphragm, and the pumping action of the
diaphragm will improve circulation.
Does that make sense? Yeah.
Another thing you can do to improve circulation, in addition
to oxygenation and diaphragmaticbreathing is water and liquids.
You want to liquefy the blood. That will also help dilute your

(25:40):
blood sugar because one of the reasons the blood becomes
sluggish and doesn't oxygenate the the heart as well.
It's because it's glycating and not just the heart but also the
vessels you with me. So you want to reduce your blood
sugar. I'd be going ketogenic, I'd be
low calorie. Get on the healthy blood sugar
pack the sweeties. The fucoid fucoid Z will do

(26:02):
double duty here. The fucoid Z will help lower
your blood sugar. I'm.
Sorry, and the fucoid Z will improve circulation.
OK. Gluco gels won't.
Gluco gel caps will improve circulation.
AJ mentioned the ultimate Efas that will improve circulation.
So you're going to want to focuson improving circulation.
Follow me. Yep.

(26:24):
OK, so all those nutrients are going to help, but don't
underestimate the importance of the intestine because remember,
you probably had his time at dirty blood and leaky gut and
all that. So working on intestinal health,
one of the young Japanese, one of those stand out features of
the angina nutritional supplement line are the
digestive supplements. So anything you do for the
digestive, for digestive health,nightly essence, Ultimate

(26:47):
Microbiome, I-26, the whole bunch of those, AJ can walk you
through those. You you probably already know
those. And then added the enzymes in
too. That's exactly right.
And if you take the enzymes on an empty stomach, they'll help
thin the blood, they'll help improve blood circulation, and
glucose gel capsule also help improve blood circulation.
And then the last piece of the puzzle is your thyroid.

(27:08):
You cannot work on the thyroid by itself.
There's nothing you could do. There's no specific way to deal
with the thyroid. The medicine they're giving you
does not deal with the thyroid. Do you understand this?
It's, it's thyroid hormone you're on.
You said, was it levothyroxine? I I didn't catch what you said.
Yeah, the unithroid, I guess. Levothyroxine, right?

(27:30):
So levothyroxine is T4? It's two thyroid hormones that
weaker or pre thyroid hormone and then you get the active
stuff and that's T3. So you're getting the weak form
of thyroid hormone. The weak form of thyroid hormone
has to be converted into the strong form of thyroid hormone.
And guess what part of the body turns T4 to T3?

(27:52):
The intestine, the. Intestine OK.
Yes, bacteria and the intestine are responsible for converting
T4 into T3. So if you had dysbiosis and got
an intestinal problem, which youmost likely do, it's not going
to help your thyroid, your T, you're going to have an issue
with thyroid. But by calming the body down,
stabilizing the blood sugar, reducing the flow of toxins into

(28:12):
the blood, making the blood morefluid and less sticky,
oxygenating the heart and oxygenating the other tissues.
And you haven't mentioned anything about high blood
pressure by imagine your blood pressure's got to be high as
well. With all of these symptoms,
you're going to go a long way towards us protecting your
adrenal glands and that one thyroid you follow.
So you can't work on each specific system directly.

(28:36):
And that's the key is you got togo upstream.
As AJ likes to say, you go to the root, not the fruit.
You can't take care of it, right?
It's not the fruit, it's the root, right?
You go to the fruit doctor, he'sgoing to take care of the fruit.
You got to go to the root doctor, and that's Doctor
Wallach, and that's us here. And Jeff, is that all that makes

(28:58):
sense? Yep, I'm trying to reverse that
compartmentalization that's beendone to me.
Yes, overall, 3 metalizing you exactly.
And that's just the way the medical model works.
And that's the biggest flaw in the medical model.
So thank you, Natalie. So quick question on the, you
know, being addressing all of these from, you know, that whole

(29:18):
digestive piece to the blood sugar, which to me was probably
where the tipping point for the end the thyroid piece started
doing, leading to the shutdown of the endocrine and the.
Your endocrine's not shut down. I don't think you're.
Did you say that? Well the endo I go that by the
endocrinologist said that when she saw me in fall of 23 I was

(29:39):
on a dose of 218 of the NP thyroid that she said was 10
times what should have been for my body weight.
That it basically put you on toomuch.
Thyroid, endocrine to shut down.They put you on a high level on
too much thyroid hormone. Yep, and didn't watch the other
things like the cardio and whatever and eventually that's
what flipped the body. That's why you said that.
OK, I see what you're saying. That's why you said that, that

(30:02):
that the hypothyroid, the you the hypothyroidism was caused by
what did you say? I didn't catch that.
The too much thyroid hormone. Too much thyroid medication over
a longer period of time. It wasn't a good idea that you
were overdosed, but I don't think I I don't.
I'm not sure that's the case. OK, I wanted more information.
Probably just tip the scale. Just go on.
Just simplify digestive health, liquefier or fluidize your blood

(30:26):
with all the techniques we talked about and keep your blood
sugar down. And that that's really what I'd
be doing. Yeah, the hardest part of.
That I'm sorry. Yeah, the the frustrational part
is working. Unfortunately, with a Doctor Who
believes once the Afib comes into play, you're always a
cardiac condition and do it doesn't want to hear anything

(30:46):
about taking me off of any meds.He's already upset that I'm off
of the eloquent. Yeah, you don't have to worry
about upsetting your doctor. That's that's at least your
worries. If all you have is a hammer,
everything looks like a nail. OK.
And so that's his tools. You know, he's he's a hammer
guy. So everything looks like a nail
van. Now you can you you want to go

(31:06):
upstream. The drugs you're on the beta
blocker and the calcium channel blocker are not kind drugs, nor
is the eloquence. Now, it's true that if your
heart's not working, you run thehigh a high risk of blood clots
and stroke, and you don't want that.
So until you get everything working, you do want to stay at
least on the Eliquis. Yeah, well, I, I'm not telling

(31:27):
you anything about the drugs. That's between you and your
doctor, But you want to work with your doctor to wean
yourself off. Gotcha.
Yeah. Thanks Natalie all.
Right. Thanks, AJ.
All right, speak to you soon, pharmacist Ben, we've did I use
the word bevy already. We've got I did say bevy.
We got a bunch of question most tag on YouTube also a health a

(31:51):
certified holistic health coach and if you want to become a
certified holistic health coach like Natalie and me and everyone
else that you will see on the screen later, you can go to
Becca will tell us where to go to and I will forward that.
Most tag says he has a client intheir late 50s diagnosed with
multiple myeloma. A few years ago did a bone

(32:13):
marrow transplant. Currently taking SSRI Eliquis
Pachelover, which is an antiviral revlimid for immune
system. She's the foundational 90 for
one month is currently doing a gut protocol, which you know
what they are. Recent blood tests shows a
dramatic increase in antibodies.Could you explain why this might

(32:37):
be happening? They what They're looking at the
wrong perspective, like seeing too much calcium in the blood
and saying you must stop taking calcium.
All right, well, that's because they're not biochemists.
They're clinical chemists. Clinical chemistry is a
chemistry. Test scores.
Biochemistry is a chemistry of you.
You're not a test score. You're a bio, a biology, a

(32:57):
biological entity. You're not a test score.
Doctors look at Test scores. They don't look at biology.
Calcium in the blood goes up when your blood becomes toxic or
acidic. Really.
And calcium is used as a, as a, as a buffering agent to
neutralize the acid. That's what that's caused to
have not ingestion of calcium. That's nonsense.
When you take calcium orally, there's many mechanisms that are

(33:20):
in place to control the entranceof that calcium through the
intestine, including parathyroidhormone and button D and
magnesium. It doesn't, it's not like you
eat calcium and it goes into your blood immediately.
That's just not how it happens. And you know, doctors can be
forgiven for thinking that because they don't understand
really how bio, how biochemistryworks necessarily, some of them,
but necessarily so I, I was a little confused though, because

(33:43):
you said that she had multiple myeloma, but then she, but then
she reversed it. Or does she still have multiple
myeloma? Still has multiple myeloma.
Well, had it a few years ago, but did a bone marrow transplant
and they're and they're they're giving her suppressive things
for her immune system. Yeah, we'll look.
Not sure why, but I. Don't know, it seems crazy to me

(34:07):
that anybody would want to suppress the immune system for
any reason without figuring out why the immune system's
activated. Most had come into the Zoom
room. Zoom zoom.dailywithdoc.com.
We're going to move on to Jill. Hopefully Jill's got a simple
question before we go to Maryland.
Who's got a less simple question?
Multiple myeloma. What happened to that get out

(34:28):
for multiple? Are we going to take care of
that? Well, you know, you if if you've
got more to say about that, but I was.
Asking multiple myeloma is a cancer where white blood you
have elevated white blood cells where you have, you know it, it
affects the plasma cells, the white blood cells that produce
the antibodies. So yes, like you know, that

(34:49):
makes sense. But I thought you said that they
had that address. So if they have a problem with
their immune cells, too many immune cells being being
produced, there's something that's interfering with how with
the there's something that's interfering with the healthy
production immune cells and thatinvolves inflammation.
And that's the key to everything.

(35:11):
There's no chronic degenerative disease, multiple myeloma or any
other that is not preceded by inflammation, inflammation of
the, of the plasma cells or inflammation of the bone marrow
or inflammation of the blood. So the inflammation is a
defensive response. And that means something's
getting into the body that the body wants to defend against.
So for Moshe, you know, and again, it's understandable

(35:33):
because we live in a culture where we get sick, we go to the
doctor, but the doctor isn't going to go upstream and look
what's causing the inflammation.That's really where you got to
work. So once you're into multiple
myeloma, once you're into myeloma, it means it's been
going on for a, a long time. And the only thing that the, the
the medical folks know how to dois to work on the immune

(35:55):
systems, to suppress the immune system.
Chemotherapy, bone marrow transplants, immunotherapy, all
of the different strategies thatthey have for shutting down the
immune system. What about the fecal Mata
transplant? They do that one.
No, I don't do that for that, but yeah, they do.
You just want to throw that out there, didn't you?
I did. But he said that she's still
dealing with the multiple myeloma.

(36:15):
The free Kappa light chains antibodies have significantly
increased. I'm gathering because.
Of the problem, yeah, they haven't solved the problem.
They're trying to solve the symptom, but they're not solving
the problem. So as long as you have something
that's getting into the system that's triggering this kind of
inflammatory response, you're going to have immune cells,
you're going to have a high level of immune cells.

(36:35):
So you got to figure out what's getting into the system that's
triggering the into the blood. When I say the cysteine in the
blood, it's triggering this condition.
So it's always comes down to something through a leaky gut,
through food. And so most eggs should know
probably knows that he or she has a history of digestive
health issues. Can you is is most tag on the
call? Most tag is in in YouTube and

(36:58):
he's in. He's trying to fix the gut with
the I-26. I'm not saying, listen, I'm not
saying telling you about the gutbecause I want to scold you.
That's not the point. I I'm not trying to scold
anybody. So you don't have to tell me
that. What I'm saying is can you see
the connection between the two, between the gut and the between
intestinal health and ultimatelymultiple myeloma?

(37:20):
You have long standing digestivehealth issues.
Ask if, ask Mostag. Are there long standing
digestive health issues there? Well, it says Mostag.
You know, we're going to he can't get on the Zoom.
Why would the he's saying why would the antibodies increase
significantly after using nutrition and working on the
gut? And I guess the answer is you

(37:43):
haven't solved the leaky gut issue.
You haven't solved the problem, correct.
If you haven't solved the problem, yeah, your your
antibodies are going to still stay high.
It's not like the nutrition caused your antibodies to go up.
That's not how it works. You're going to solve the
problem. You're still doing what what you
did to to cause a problem in the1st place that initiate the

(38:03):
problem. So ask most are you
communicating with Mostech? Why does Mostech come on?
So they can talk. He said he can't come on Zoom.
He might be mobile. I haven't called me, I'm
calling. Mostech, you got the number.
Give a call. Jill.
Yeah. What do you got?
Why? I know you told me it had to be
simple. I do actually have two.
The first one is just a a regular customer.

(38:25):
Customer of mine went and had you know the checkup and was
told she has precancerous polypswhich they removed and.
So not. Now in in her colon.
So now, now she wants to know what she should be doing.
Now, I will tell you she definitely has digestive issues.
She's been on our nutrition for a year and a half.

(38:47):
She does take ultimate enzymes. She has no gallbladder, but and
she takes yeah. You, you answered your question.
You can see, I'm glad, you know,it's starting to make enough
sense that you can sort of do your own troubleshooting here,
right, Joe? Yeah, I just want to, I just,
she also has endometriosis and estrogen dominance.
All related tested is one of themajor clearing points for

(39:10):
estrogen. Yeah, that's first of all.
So you have intestinal problems or dysbiosis, it's very likely
or it's very possible to have estrogen issues.
That's what endometriosis is. And that's what what was the
other one? You said fibromyal.
What was the other thing you said and Dimitriosis and.
Estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominus for everybody
is listening. That means your estrogen is high

(39:32):
basically. And estrogen dominance is a
problem because estrogen is associated with cancer, it's
associated associated with hypothyroidism, reproductive
problems, etcetera. So estrogen dominance is a
significant issue because the intestine is one of the major
systems for detoxifying estrogen.
Makes perfect sense. Where do all roads lead to at
this point? Digestive.

(39:53):
Yes, she's got intestinal problem, and you said she had a
gallbladder removed too. The gallbladder helps clear out
estrogen so you can see when youtarget.
I hope everybody's seen this. When you try to target specific
systems in a vacuum, you can't help but cause a problem.
It's all connected. You can't work on the

(40:13):
gallbladder independently, the intestine independently, the
adrenals independently, the thyroid independently.
Guaranteed. By the way, she's hypothyroid on
top of everything else. And so you got this whole big
complex and you've got to go back to the root.
If you try to deal with it at the fruit level, it's going to
be fruitless. She also had 15 polyps in her

(40:34):
stomach, but it was quite a longtime ago they were moved to.
For her to take the gallbladder out, for her to have the
gallbladder taken out, that means she's got had a history of
food problems. The major reason for gallbladder
removal, cholecystectomy is about half a million of them
done every year is stones, and the major reason for stones is
food problems. OK, so with the knowing that she

(41:00):
has the estrogen dominance and endometriosis, she is 62, I mean
obviously she's. She's not a harm on replacement
there. No, I don't think so.
I I really don't. I will double check but I I do
not think so. But I'm just wondering what you
if if it might make some sense to try the New Hope package
which I know has a good probiotic in it.
Wouldn't hurt at all. It wouldn't hurt at all.

(41:23):
What about some fucoid ZA? Fucoid Z would help, absolutely.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. OK.
And then the second one, Thank you.
And the second one is mast cell activation.
What can you tell me about that in same?
Person. No different person.
So you that's one one of the kind of latest diagnosis that

(41:45):
you can hear a lot about. Yeah, that's what I figured.
Yeah, and, and it's pretty. It can be pretty significant.
Do you ever hear of people who get rashes when they go out in
the sun? Sun poisoning.
Yes, uh huh. OK, you ever hear of people
sometimes they go in the shower under hot water and they'll get
rashes from the hot water. OK, all.

(42:05):
And it's kind of bizarre, right?Rashes from hot water, rash in
the sun. There's a classic signs of a
hyperactive immune system. Yep, which I used to have.
I used to have a hyper immune system.
I said, did you have, did you have this kind of condition
where you get sun, sun rashes? And stuff.
Some people can actually like they'll, they'll take their
fingernail and they can write their name in their skin and
it'll it'll where they write their name, it'll kind of raise

(42:28):
up because of inflammation. That's a very, very sensitized
system for women. Sometimes their waistband, their
their underwear waistband, theirbra strap will cause a rash, any
kind of pressure. That's a super sensitized system
and mast cells live in throughout the body, blood,
etcetera, but mostly in intestine.

(42:49):
When you your body is, the intestine is chronically
attacked. Eventually the mast cells will
become chronically activated. Mast cells make chemicals that
like histamine that that are they that cause blood vessels to
open that activate the immune response.
So mast cell activation syndromesyndrome means a bunch of things

(43:11):
happening from one 'cause, right?
So mast cell activation syndromeis a bunch of things that happen
from one 'cause, which is mast cell activation, which is a
hyperactive immune system, whichis an intestinal problem.
OK, so that's what mast cell activation syndrome is.
Do the whole food diary, food elimination, digestive health

(43:36):
strategies, I-26, nightly essence, daily digest B coy Z,
everything for the digestive system.
Mast cell activation syndrome should be backtracked to the
intestine. OK.
And you mentioned histamine. Histamine is released by the
mast cells and it's made by bacteria and it's also made by

(43:57):
it's also triggered by certain foods.
There's just to be releasing foods.
Leftovers. Fermented foods are are
especially problematic histamineinducers.
Interesting and. They're not on the good food,
bad food list, so whenever somebody says oh, but I'm on.
The do you know? Oh, and gluten.
Free that that's just. You can see how silly that is.
Yes, I'm sorry. Go ahead.

(44:17):
That that's interesting that youjust said that because like I
said, I used to have autoimmune disease for 20 years.
Yeah, no more. No, Yeah.
No more. Not not for 11.
That's awesome. That's awesome.
What was your what flavor autoimmune disease?
Lupus. I had rheumatoid arthritis and
joint pain. And you don't have it anymore.
I had five factors of lupus. Yes, is.
This Jill I'm talking to? Yep.
No, that's awesome. Yeah, Realize that that should

(44:40):
not happen according to your doctor.
Yeah, of course. Right, right.
Yeah, but but the first foods that bothered me were fermented.
You're the first person that's ever pointed that out was
cucumbers and and fermented food.
Like if I had marinated mushrooms or something.
Oh my God, I would. Be out of my brain or not on the
list. Yeah, exactly.

(45:01):
But I'm just eating the good foods and I'm I'm awful.
All gluten. What's going on?
I mean, soup, onion soup, like could have hospitalized me, you
know, So. But that's interesting because
nobody else has ever said that before.
Not that. Not that we're talking about me.
We're not. But I heard that you.
Know there's others too. Bananas and cheeses and dried

(45:21):
fruit. You know, citrus fruit, spinach.
These are all high histamine foods and make it and make it
you say? Oh but I'm only a vegetarian.
I just eat spinach. Well, you can have be having a
problem with histamine. Strawberries, you can fish.
These are good foods that can have that can be associated
either with high, they have highhistamine in it, or they can

(45:41):
trigger histamine. Leftovers, by the way, are a
classic example of a food that could be a good food, but
because it's leftover, it's fromthere's bacteria that are acting
on that food. It could be a high histamine
food and. When you say strawberries, like
if somebody itches, that could be what you're talking about.
Yes, and sometimes people think they're allergic to strawberries
or they're allergic to oranges or citrus.

(46:03):
Citrus. It could be high histamine.
Or even seafood. How about shrimp?
Same with shrimp and seafood. Absolutely.
Yeah, OK, Interesting, Interesting.
Thank you. You bet.
Appreciate it. Thanks for the insightful
question, Jill. And if you would like to get a
copy of the food diary? This.
Has been just mentioned. Go to criticalhealthnews.com,

(46:24):
join the mailing list and you will automatically be sent a
copy of the food diary. Marilyn, let's talk about your
painful question. Well, I have two, so that's fun.
OK, he didn't think I was going to ask the second one.
But anyway, the first one, I have a specific issue with

(46:47):
arthritis. Now we all know it's a calcium
absorption issue. We all know what.
OK. It's a calcium absorption.
We all don't know that because Idon't.
No, OK. But go ahead.
Is it? OK, this is my.
Is it rheumatoid arthritis or isit osteoarthritis?
I've always just looked. Osteo is degenerative wear and

(47:11):
tear they say and that is, you know, nutritional of course and
and eating a lot of inflammatoryfoods and not enough
antioxidants, cartilage buildingfoods, etcetera.
And that happens with age. But rheumatoid arthritis is a
little bit more significant in the sense that that's an immune
problem. OK, now I know what you're
talking about. OK, yes, I understand that.
So it's osteoarthritis OK that I'm.

(47:33):
You. Is he for you, Mary?
OK, so everyone seems to have one arthritis.
They always say it's a calcium build up in all the joints.
Who says that? Every doctor, they say.
No, they don't. They say you have arthritis.
No, it's a degenerative condition.
Arthritis means inflamed joints.OK.

(47:56):
Calcium could be involved because calcium is kind of like
a repair, a repair system and itmight be in there in the to help
support the joints that are deteriorate, the cartilage
that's deteriorating, but it's basically a cartilage issue.
OK, when Doctor Walke has talkedabout lack of calcium or
minerals, he says the body will use the parathyroid glands to go

(48:16):
and search for these minerals. And then he said, wait a.
Minute it'll use the pure thyroid gland.
What do you mean that's your thyroid gland?
He's talked about when he, when you, when the body is lacking
calcium. OK.
OK. Or bone minerals.
Yeah. The body will you will go

(48:39):
searching for these minerals in the existing bone tissue.
Of the body through the thyroid glands.
I'm not quite understanding any of that stuff, but go ahead.
What's the Why don't you just ask me the question?
OK, well what I'm wondering is people have like, calcium, they
have stones. Like let's just add just put
just sentence with a question mark at the end.

(49:02):
How can I explain it? No, no explanation.
Sentence question mark. How?
What, where, when, Why? OK.
If you have a calcium build up like on your on your hand and
your wrist joint. OK.
Why is that happening? Why do you have a calcium build

(49:23):
up in certain areas? Yeah, it's specifically they say
that these occur in the joints. Calcium build UPS in various
joints. Crystallization is a sign that
the blood is becoming super saturated and calcium is

(49:43):
starting to precipitate, and that's what force forms what
you're asking for. That's that's like stones and
such. It's not too much calcium.
It's a blood issue. It's a sign that the calcium is
not staying soluble in the blood.
You with me? OK, OK, so it's a blood issue.
It's not a calcium issue. What is it that causes the blood

(50:05):
to lose its solubilizing power? Right now, there's specific
reasons like pH usually has to do with pH, but really it's just
a, it's just to simplify it. It's dirty blood.
Remember, everything boils down to the same basic ideas.
Dirty blood or digestive problems, inflammation is all

(50:27):
basically the same idea. So what you're talking about is
calcium deposition, which can happen.
Calcification tissues is a thing.
That's one of the ways we die. Actually.
A heart calcifies and so calcification is an issue.
Calcification is a sign that theblood is not able to handle all
that calcium. The blood has become calcium

(50:48):
rich because it's toxic and whator acid, I should say acidic.
And that's one of the ways that the body will neutralize the
calcium. The acid is by releasing calcium
from the bones With me, to be clear here, calcium is a super
active element. Super active.
When we think of calcium, there's a tendency to think of

(51:10):
it as being inert. It's like a Roth, kind of like
your like your teeth or your skeletal system.
But really calcium is a very, very, very important activating
agents for cells. And in fact, you can have
calcium toxicity where you have too much calcium activation and
cells burnout and all that activation.
That's why there's all these systems in place for controlling

(51:31):
calcium, specifically parathyroid hormone.
But there's other systems as well that keep the calcium
regulated. You don't have a very small
amount of your total body. Calcium is in the blood very
small amount because it's so powerful, so the body has to
control it with vitamin K and magnesium and and parathyroid on
it. And all of these various
mechanisms are in place to keep the amount of calcium just so in

(51:54):
the blood. However, as a meta as a global
systemic metabolic deteriorationin the body occurs.
Eventually all of this gets thrown off.
One of the ways the body deals with the high, the, the high
acid level of the blood, the lowpH, is by releasing calcium into
the blood. Eventually that calcium is going

(52:14):
to get dumped off into the tissues.
That's why we calcify. We calcify at the end.
As an end result of this, you know, this flow from the bones
to the blood to the tissues. That's how we calcify bone to
blood to tissues, not from supplements.
So what you're talking about with calcium in the joints, All

(52:35):
right, Calcium crystals in the joints, you're talking about a
blood issue, not a calcium issue.
And of course, you know The Dirty blood's behind everything,
so that shouldn't be a surprise.OK, OK.
Follow up does calcification also refer to build up in the
artery? Yes, absolutely.
Now the arteries, absolutely. Calcium's also part of patches.

(52:58):
It's used by the body to patch things up as part of
cholesterol, as part of plaque formation, like cholesterol
plaques. But it's basically a blood
issue. Yes, concluding calcium in the
arteries. Hold on Marilyn.
Nancy, the answer to your question is, is part of excess
calcium and imbalance with magnesium?
Would the person need more magnesium?
That can help and vitamin K too.But ultimately, it's acidic

(53:24):
blood. Yes, exactly.
It's not too much calcium. So, you know, sometimes doctors
say stop taking your calcium. It's not too much calcium.
It's a blood issue. So stop eating sugar, Marilyn.
Go. So stop eating sugar, taking the
nutrients and taking probably inmore fat soluble vitamins.
What's that? Then taking in more fat soluble

(53:45):
vitamins. Absolutely.
And improving, Yeah, improving digestive health.
OK, I said a question. I have a client with a
hemorrhoid. Now it's not visible.
It's not external. It's an.
Internal. Yeah, extremely painful.
It's terrible. She doesn't think it's serious
because her doctor didn't recommend surgery.
She wants to hear the protocol for you and how to reduce that.

(54:07):
Is this patient, constant, chronically constipated?
That's what I'd want to know andthat's how you do it.
Fiber, more water, nightly essence, if there's any food, if
there's any food issues. Somebody said, what did somebody
say? I heard somebody say something.
Somebody did somebody just contribute some some information
there? No worries, no worries, I.

(54:27):
Didn't hear that. Yeah, it could be a Constipation
issue because when when we push,that can cause an that can cause
an inflamed hemorrhoid. By the way, when you say you
have hemorrhoids, that's kind ofa colloquial, colloquial way of
saying an inflamed hemorrhoidal vein.
The hemorrhoid is a vein, the hemorrhoidal vein.

(54:50):
So we call it hemorrhoids colloquially, but it really
means that the hemorrhoidal veinis inflamed.
And yes, pushing is one of the most important causes.
Venous insufficiency can be another cause, and this is
related. What's that?
So now is would you suggest specific nutrients like copper
because of the elasticity? No.

(55:10):
The best I would recommend digestive alcohol.
Copper's not a bad idea. Copper and zinc go together by
the way, a lot of people who live in big cities, municipal
who are drinking out of old municipal water supply like New
York City and older cities, theydon't get a lot of copper
through the pipes. And that can lead to a zinc
deficiency because copper and zinc, high levels of copper will

(55:32):
cause excretion of zinc and viceversa.
If you're taking zinc, that can lead to a copper deficiency if
you're not all taking copper. So copper, but copper's tricky
because copper can be very pro aging as well as anti aging.
If it's oxidizing, it's kind of unstable.
So the best, probably the best way to get your copper is from
high protein foods and such. But if you want to supplement

(55:52):
with copper, the plant derived copper, the colloidal copper is
a good way to get your copper. OK.
Thank you. Thank you, Marilyn, thank you
for everything you do for the team.
Michelle's up next, but we have a quick Michelle, unmute
yourself. The next question is from GNU

(56:13):
Tech, and I'm going to ask GNU Tech to e-mail us at questions
at Daily with doc.com. What can I take to reduce acne
on my face after shaving? OK so I don't I don't know that
ACT is this person saying they don't have acne unless they
shave? Oh well, I'm I'm gathering

(56:34):
you're saying they're getting some extra bumps?
Because the bumps I, I don't know that if the bumps are due
to the shaving, that's differentfrom acne.
If the, if they shave and then they get bumps, that's not acne.
That's bumps that's different than acne.
Acne is a, there are three factors that have to be put in
place for an acne lesion to appear.

(56:55):
And unfortunately, the term acne, AC and E is applied to a
lot of different lesions on the skin.
And so when you say acne, there's real acne, but then
there's just lesions on the facethat appear on the skin that get
called acne. So I'm not sure what this
person's talking about, right? Real acne to occur #1 skin

(57:16):
cells, keratinocytes have to be dividing very rapidly inside the
follicle. When skin cells divide very
rapidly inside the follicle, they'll release the protein,
keratin protein. That's what they make.
Keratin sites make keratin, and you get these hard protein
keratin plugs in the follicle. That's not acne yet though.
That's a hard plug inside the follicle.

(57:40):
Not all follicles, but inside some follicles there's a little
oil pump, a gland called the sebaceous gland.
It's actually a type of skin derivative of a skin cell and
that's pumping out oil. And when you have oil being
pumped out into a plugged area, that can create an inflammation.
You can sort of picture that yougot a plug and you got oil being
formed and that creates a a sortof a plugged area of inflamed

(58:03):
plugged area. It's still not acne yet though.
If there are bacteria present onthe surface of the skin that are
trapped inside that follicle, asthe keratin is being formed, the
hard protein is being formed andthe skin cells are dividing.
Now you've got that. You've got the oil sebum and
you've got a hard plug and you've got bacteria in a nice

(58:25):
dark place with lots of stuff toeat.
Then you get your true acne pimple.
That's acne. 3 things. Keratinization.
That's the production of keratinand rapid division of skin
cells, Sebaceous sebum secretions, and bacteria.
Shaving is not going to do that.So when he says he gets bumps

(58:48):
out your shaving, I'm not reallysure what he's referring to.
But that's not acting. So for real acting, you've got
three places to work. You #1 you stabilize the growth
of the keratinocytes so you don't have to plug in the 1st
place. And that's vitamin A or
retinoids. That's why retinae is used and
you can take vitamin A or alert vitamin D can help too.

(59:09):
Then there's the sebum secretion, the oil secretion, as
we talked about earlier, AJ thatyou, you slow down oil secretion
by stable, calming the body down, laying, preventing
hypoglycemia, laying off sugar, stress, etcetera.
Anything that's spice sebum thatcauses sebum to discrete, that's
the second stage. And then the last stage, which

(59:29):
is what dermatologists approach,but it doesn't work all the time
because you haven't taken care of the first two stages, is
antibacterial. Fantastic GNU tech e-mail
questions at Daily with doc.com so that you can personally chat
with our skin expert Michelle what you got for us.

(59:51):
Well, so I've got an uncle. So macular degeneration seems to
run in the family. We all know about epigenetics,
but also blood clotting, which we know is dirty blood.
But 83 years old and doesn't want to listen to what I've
learned that Efas are essential to getting rid of the sticky

(01:00:15):
blood. And so can you address why
Xarelto isn't the best choice and why taking more Efas is
more? I think, well, Xarelto's a
prescription drug. Prescription drugs are poisons.
I'm not saying that, you know, metaphorically, they're

(01:00:36):
literally poisons. They got to be detoxified.
Your body's going to lose is going to use nutrients to
detoxify the Xarelto Essential fatty acids are nutrients.
They're not just important for the blood.
They're important for the hormone system, for the skin,
for the brain, for the nervous system.
They're important for a lot of things.
All cells need essential fatty acids for cell membranes.

(01:00:56):
So what you mean, do you really need me?
Does that person need me really tell you the difference?
Well, I mean. You are the pharmacist and.
They listen. They listen to the pharmacist.
Well, listen up. There's times when you need
prescription drugs. And if you're 83 years old and
you don't want to change your entire life, yeah, you might
need the Xarelto. But if you really want to, if

(01:01:19):
you want to do it the nutritional way, yeah.
Essential fatty acids, in addition to all the other things
we talked about, Fukoid Z will help thin the blood.
Oxygen, water, bromelain, nattokinase, glucosamine.
There's lots of ways to thin theblood.
Vitamin E, there's lots of ways to thin the blood.
Doctors like drugs because they can kind of control them.

(01:01:43):
They're not worried about the toxicity as much as the way that
they're standardized and controlled with nutrition.
Nutrition is kind and gentle. You don't have as much control
as you do with a prescription drug, which is just cut and dry
relatively relative to nutrition.
Nutrition is a little vague and fuzzy, so doctors don't really
like to work with nutrition. Personally, as a pharmacist, I
don't see why anybody would use prescription drugs when most

(01:02:07):
health challenges have some kindof nutritional deficiency at
their port. So this person, like you said,
has dirty blood, right? So what causes the blood?
What causes the blood to become dirty?
Sugar. Well, toxic sugar is one thing,
but generally toxicity is getting into the blood.
What? What about this?
What about this wet macular degeneration?
So. Wet macular degeneration and dry

(01:02:29):
macular degeneration are just two silly distinctions.
It's just macular degeneration. Doesn't matter whether it's wet
or it's dry. Wet just has more wet material,
pus and stuff, or infectious material, probably degenerative
material. It doesn't really matter.
It's the degeneration that counts.
The macula is degenerating. The macula degenerates the same

(01:02:51):
reason the joints degenerate, the same reason the bones
degenerate, the same reason anything degenerates.
Wear and tear, lack of nutrition, accumulation,
toxicity and oxygen and hypoxia or low oxygen, it's the same
thing. So the macula's a little bit
different in the sense that it'sbeing affected by light.
So you want to start using some specific nutrients that help the

(01:03:13):
eyes deal with light, work with light.
And there's a bunch of vitamin E, taurine, NAC, vitamin C,
sulfur, selenium. These are also a pigments
colors, Reds, yellows, oranges, vision FX, ocutive.
There's a little bit more specific for the eyes cause the
eyes are somewhat unusual tissuebecause they're on the outside
body and they're subject to likethe way the spleen or the liver

(01:03:36):
isn't. So you can do some additional
things for the eye, but it's basically a degenerative
condition. And wet or dry is, is a, is a
medical distinction. It's not a functional
distinction. Doesn't really matter from the
healing perspective. OK, so we just get back to what
you've all said along. All all along is toxification,
suffocation and starvation, so. What's that?
So what? I'm just repeating what you say.

(01:03:58):
Yes, toxification, suffocation, starvation absolutely leads to
inflammation. It's all the same thing.
Macular degeneration is arthritis of the macula.
Arthritis is macular degeneration of the joints.
Same idea. Great.
Thank you. Thank you.
And the whole calcification issue involves a low P acidosis

(01:04:21):
as we were talking about earlier.
That whole calcification thing that's really important to
understand. That's, that's the big, that's
the most important thing we justtalked about here, because this
whole calcium, this whole idea of calcium, elevated blood
calcium being associated with calcium supplements is just,
it's not true. And so he lives in southern

(01:04:43):
Utah. Do you believe that there's any
a lot of people down there get the skin cancer?
Do you believe there's anything to what they say about southern
Utah with that? What do they say?
Well, they say it's because of the testing underground of the
nuclear bombs. I thought it doesn't help.
I don't know. I was there's more important
causes, but I'm sure it doesn't help.

(01:05:04):
OK. All right.
Thank you, Ben. Appreciate you.
