Welcome, everyone to this hour ofthe Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm Doctor
(01:41):
Bob and here in the capacity ofencouraging you to become your own best doctor
most of the time. All Right, We're going to talk about a very
important topic shortly here related to cholesterol. So if you have anybody in the
room in the next room that istaking statin drugs or cholesterol alluring drugs,
(02:07):
they might want to listen to thisconversation. And if they're not within the
earshot of this conversation, maybe youcan invite them over to my podcast library
after the show's finished so they canhear a recorded version of the program and
pick up on some of this importantinformation I'm about to discuss related to cholesterol
(02:31):
alering drugs, one of the mostprolific drug categories in the United States today.
So many people are taking cholesterol alowering drugs or statin drugs, and
I'm sure there's people that are beinghelped by them to some degree. I've
always been suspicious of them because ofthe mechanism by which they are used,
(02:54):
and a lot of people are finallypicking up on that, and we'll get
to that shortly. I also wantto let you know we have a totll
free number that at any time ofthe night or day, you can call
this toll free number and leave ahealth related question about yourself or somebody else,
or make a health comment. Eighthundred six zero six eighty eight twenty
(03:15):
two. It's our new caller hotlinenumber for questions or health related comments.
Or if you want to compliment thehost of the show, you can certainly
do that. We call that astroker eight hundred six zero six eighty eight
twenty two. Or the website doctorbob dot com spelling out the word doctor.
(03:37):
Almost half of cholesterol drug users don'tneed the drug. That's what the
American Heart Association is intimating of late. I know a lot of consumers are
just totally caught off guard by that. They're confused about that. What do
you mean we don't need almost half? We don't need statins anymore. I
(04:01):
thought they were important. I thoughtthey were saving my life. I thought
I couldn't get away without statins becausemy heart would explode it and have a
heart attack. Well, the AmericanHeart Association developed updated guidelines with a new
equation to calculate risks of cardiovascular diseasein today's population, as though it's any
(04:29):
different today than it was back whenthese statin drugs first came out thirty seven
years ago, Folks, thirty sevenyears ago, statin drugs, and again,
I'm not doubting the fact that theyhave efficacy to a certain degree,
but there's been a lot of healthexperts, a lot of doctors decrying for
(04:53):
years now that they're being used byway too many people for all the wrong
reasons. And then suddenly magically boom, just like that, nearly half around
forty percent of people, according tothe American Heart Association, around forty percent
(05:15):
of people currently advised to take statindrugs, and there's a lot of them
on the market. D Jore ClusterLearning drugs would not need to take them
if they were assessed today using thenew magical out of thin air criteria that
I guess didn't war that was workingjust a short time ago, and now
(05:40):
all of a sudden, no,no, no, not so much.
This according to a new study publishedjust this last week in the journal of
the American Medical Association Internal Medicine.So what do we have here. We
have thirty seven years at least whereforty percent of statin or cholesterol alluring drug
(06:06):
users to this class of drugs.We're taking the drugs. You guessed it
unnecessarily. Let me repeat that,based on the new criteria, the new
magical science of modern day medicine.They went back and they sharpened their pencils
(06:28):
and they're saying, look, okay, there's new criteria today. We are
calculating the need for cholesterol alluring drugson a different basis today. And oh,
just want to let you know thatabout forty percent of you people who
are taking it, almost half shouldn'tbe taking statin drugs based on the new
(06:54):
criteria. Wow, this just amazesme. And that's why I'm always fascinated
with how you know, these hardcoredoctors. Doctor Fauci is the epitome of
conventional medicine. I am science hisproclamation. But there's a lot of little
(07:20):
tyrants like that in modern medicine wherethey think they're all that and a white
coat and the stethoscope, godlike creaturesabove everybody else looking down. But I
digress. Now that's the science thatthey call the modern day science. We're
gonna suddenly just tell forty percent ofpeople who are taking these drugs that have
(07:46):
been taking them for years, riskingliver damage, brain damage, nerve damage,
risking the risk of diabetes, riskof cancer. I mean, the
list goes on and on. Lookup the list of adverse side effects of
stating drugs, and again, drugsare not bad. I'm not here to
bash drugs or statins. I'm hereto remind you that medical care has severe
(08:11):
limitations. And this just proves it. Even though a lot of people believe
that everything that walks out of themouth or comes out of the mouth of
somebody with an MD behind their nameis the gospel, it is one hundred
percent fact. It is one hundredpercent science, and I'm going to follow
it to the letter. And theonly thing you need to think about in
rebuking that response is COVID nineteen vaccinesor COVID nineteen shots. What a cluster
(08:39):
that was. But I digress.Now we're talking about these statin drugs and
how they got it wrong. Forthirty seven years at least in half the
people taking them. They're basically saying, without saying it, and hoping to
pull the woe of your eyes,is that we made a mistake. We're
wrong about out the calculation of whoreally needs stating drugs, and we're going
(09:03):
to pull them back from about fourout of ten people who are taking them.
Wow, this is amazing to me. I wonder how all the people
who have suffered greatly with adverse sideeffects and the expense and the hassle and
everything else of taking these cholesterol loweringdrug statins, what are they saying right
(09:26):
now when their doctors inform them that, Oh, Joe or Sally, I'm
glad you're in my office today andwe're going to make some adjustments in your
drug regimen. You don't need yourstatus any longer. Say what, No,
No. The American Heart Associators.American Heart Associators come up with some
(09:50):
interesting new data calculating the risk ofcardiovascular today and today's population, and you're
not in there. Therefore, we'regoing to reduce your drug load and I'm
going to unprescribe the statin that you'vebeen on for five, ten or fifteen
years or maybe twenty. You canonly I can only imagine what consumers are
(10:16):
thinking about this. I know whatI think. I think it confirms me
of the unnecessary drugs that are givenout every single day to millions of people,
unknowing that it's going to occur insome level someday. And don't forget
that about seventy percent of all drugs, there's actually one hundred percent of all
(10:43):
drugs. The average adverse side effectsabout seventy adverse side effects of the average
drug. We're going to finish upon this statin choluster a learning drug dilemb
After this, I'm doctor Bob Martin, and I welcome you back or welcome
(11:11):
you to this hour of the DoctorBob Martsen's show. Thank you so very
much for tuning into this program.Now, if you were with us last
segment, you hear me talking aboutthis latest revelation out of the American Heart
Association. Apparently they have developed newupdated guidelines with a new equation, we'll
(11:39):
call it fuzzy math, to calculatethe risks of cardiovascular disease in today's population,
to correct what has been wrong inabout one out of two people over
the last thirty seven years, theywere taking staton drugs, cholestero alluring drugs.
(12:01):
They're basically just sort of sliding iton in hoping that nobody sees it.
Elephant in the room, and thatis they're finding out that cholesterol is
not it folks. I mean,this is what it is. It's what
it's all about. You know.Blaming cholesterol for plaque in one's arteries is
(12:28):
like blaming you know. You're you. You see a lot of fire engines
going to a fire. There's athree alarmed fire in a home, and
you happen to go down that streeton your way home and you have to
go past the big fire, andyou see all the fire engines out there
(12:48):
trying to hose down the house that'son fire to protect the house from burning
completely to the foundation. And you'regoing past and you go, oh my
gosh, look at all those fireengines. There's the cause of the problem.
There's the problem with the fire.The fire was the fire engines.
(13:11):
That's ridiculous to blame the fireman andthe fire engines just because they were at
the scene of the fire. That'snot the cause of the fire. Somehow
that fire got started and it wasn'tthe fire engines that showed up to put
it out. That's what cholesterol isin the arteries your body makes about seventy
(13:33):
percent of seventy to eighty percent ofyour cholesterol is produced in your liver.
That's we make it, and thenwe take in, of course, a
certain amount of dietary cholesterol as well. Cholesterol is necessary, it's vital.
You couldn't live without it. It'simportant to your brain, your nerves,
(13:54):
your hormones, everything. Every cellin your body has cholesterol in it.
Made it a demon. Thirty sevenyears ago, the drug companies figured out
how to parlay a study that showedthat people who had plaque in their arteries
and went on to have heart attacksthey found cholesterol there. So of course
(14:16):
they blamed the cholesterol. Cholesterol wasa bystander. Cholesterol was the equivalent of
the fire engines showing up at thefire. It's all about inflammation, folks.
When you have an inflammation going oninside your body, inside your arteries,
the body brings cholesterol there as alet's say, a substance to put
(14:37):
out the fire. But it's notthe cause of the problem. But yet
the drug companies parlayed that into agold mine, and doctors got sucked right
into it, and they've been prescribingcholesterol alluring drugs for thirty seven years to
at least half the people taking themunnecessarily and risking all the side effects.
That's basically what the American Heart Associationsaying. So the cholesterol, yes,
(15:03):
is important. It's there, butit's not there because it's the problem.
It's there as a bystander. It'sthere to put a sort of a fat
slick over the fire to try toput it out. But blocking cholesterol does
nothing. It doesn't do anything.I mean, there's always exceptions to the
rule with these people with genetic problemswith apole B small particle and things like
(15:28):
that, but that's not what we'retalking about. We're talking about getting the
big picture here. And here wehave the American Heart Association developing a new
risk assessment to evaluate a person's riskof heart disease. The assessment called prevent
unbelievable. How they use the wordprevent in conventional medicine farthest thing from the
(15:52):
truth there is significantly they say,reduces the number of people who must take
these statin cholesterol learning drugs to preventheart disease. What they're basically doing is
admitting these calculations because they knew thatthe drug companies, they finally figured it
out, even though you know,it goes against all of the preaching up
to this point that everybody, everyman, woman, child, and every
(16:18):
guppy needs to be on cholesterol alluringdrugs. We'd save the humanity, the
furthest thing from the truth. Andagain, there are people, I'm sure
that have benefited by it, butmost don't because we're not talking about inflammation,
which is the real smoking gun behindwhy people develop high cholesterol in the
first place. Most of them,you know, minus people who have genetic
(16:41):
issues and there's a small subset populationfor that. Here's what one of the
lead researchers of this study who istelling people they don't need their statins,
about one out of two people don'tneed their statins anymore, he says,
Doctor Tuthy Anderson says lead author hereI quote. We don't want people to
(17:02):
think that they were treated incorrectly inthe past. They were treated with the
best data we had when cluster learningdrugs were introduced. This is a cardiovascular
risk calculator. Doctor Timothy Anderson,lead author of the study, said in
(17:26):
the news release, the data havechanged. Well, the thing that really
chides me the most is that howdoctors try to believe and how they mds
now try to get you to believethat every single thing that they say is
one hundred percent accurate and one hundredpercent truthful. Now, a lot of
men and women in medicine do agreat job, and they try to be
(17:48):
as as accurate as they can,but what they really need to be portraying
is telling you the public that medicineis not an exact science. It's far
from that. It's an art anda philosophy based on scientific principles, but
it is subject to errors and errorshappen. Why do you think medical miscare
(18:11):
is the number one cause of death, even higher than heart disease, even
higher than cancer and other diseases.It's because mistakes are made. But the
arrogance in conventional medicine is so rankwith the likes of doctor Fauci saying I
am science, you must believe me, basically saying I am God and you
(18:37):
must believe me, and some peoplesome people actually do. And you need
to discount that when any human anymortal tries to portray that they are beyond
the mistakes they make. Every singleday. We all make mistakes. That's
(18:57):
when you need to run, notwalk away from somebody that dangerous. Doctor
Timothy Anderson, the lead author ofthis study, which is saying, look,
we were wrong about the gloster Laarnierugs about half of the people that
are taking them shouldn't be taking himbecause of a new calculation. He goes
on to say, for a patientwho we know is at a lower risk
(19:21):
than we previously thought, meaning weguessed and we were wrong, if we
recommend they stopped taking statins, theystill should be back to a higher risk
five years down the road, forthe simple reason that everybody's risk goes up
(19:41):
as we get older. Just moreconfusion now. The study compared the American
Heart Association's h A twenty twenty threeguidelines to the two thirteen American Cardiology Guidelines,
the American Heart Association's most recent guidelines, which use prevent The study a
(20:07):
new risk assessing equation found that fewerpeople need to take statins, a cholesterol
lowering drug. Amazing, folks.The takeaway here, The takeaway is inflammation.
Once you get to the reason whyinflammation's there. Cholesterol is under control,
meaning diet, exercise, lifestyle,nutritional supplements like Omega three, fatty
(20:33):
acids, fiber in the diet ofcourse, and staying away from things that
cause the inflammation to happen, whichis the standard American diet mostly and other
dangerous lifestyles. That's where the action'sat all. Right, We're going to
take short break and come right back. You stay with us, please,

(26:34):
this line yourself. Eight hundred sixzero six eighty eight twenty two. Let's
go to the phones now. Firstoff is Catherine, who's calling in from
Kingsport, Tennessee. Hello, myname is Catherine. I'm calling from Kingsport,
Tennessee, and I'm calling about astudy that was posted on CNN dot
(26:56):
com. The study says that lowcalorisweetener xylotol is linked to heart attack and
stroke. And I'm wondering if youcan explain that because I do use your
spry Mouth system. It's the onlytuescaste I use, and I use it
for mouthwash as well. I usethe Xclear nose and so I'm wondering if
(27:18):
you could address the CNN study thatis stating that the low calorie sweetener xylotol
is linked to heart attack and stroke. Thank you all right, Catherine,
Thank you for your call from Kingsport, Tennessee. Appreciate that. Now.
I did answer this question last weekon the program, and you can hear
(27:41):
like almost a forty five minute explanationof this. By going into my podcast
library over at doctor bob dot comspelling out the word doctor d Octo r
bob dot com. Then podcast thatwould be our number one, our number
one last week, you'll get theforty five minute explanation of this. I
mean, it's intense. And sothe answer to this, you know,
(28:06):
and I'll give you just you know, for those people who are curious about
it, they're listening right now,aren't going to go to the podcast library,
just an overview of it, andthat is that xylotol is a natural
sweetener and it's found in fruits andveggies. You're eating xylotol every day in
small quantities. And if you're consumingstrawberries, raspberries, blueberries, if you're
(28:27):
eating any mushrooms, cauliflower, plums, pumpkins, apples, and carrots,
all of them have amounts of xylotolin them. In fact, your body
makes xylatol. Human beings make xylotolas a side product to glucose metabolism.
That's true. Now when you seethese studies all of a sudden land in
(28:48):
the marketplace, Catherine, that areyou know, causing people to run for
the run for the door and say, oh my gosh, I've been using
violoto. Question it. Even thestudy author questions it. Doctor Stanley Hasen
from Cleveland Clinic saying that using toothpasteand xylotol we're chewing a stick of gum
(29:11):
with it, are probably not aproblem. This study does not show xylotol
caused incidents of heart attack or strokeor death. The study merely reports simple
alludes to an observational effect on platelets, and the people that they also observed
were high risk people. This isthe same kind of a hit piece that
(29:32):
they did on a reathrotol not longago, and Omega three not long ago.
You have to understand there's an agendabehind this. I'm not going to
stop using xylotol for sure, becauseit's really curbed all of my dental issues
and other problems as well. Butagain, listen to the whole forty five
(29:52):
minutes of the diatribe from last week. Appreciate your call. I'm doctor Bob

(31:26):
Let's get right back to work withyour telephone calls and questions. Next up
is Charlie calling in from Rudy,Arkansas. Good morning, Doctor Bob.
My name is Charlie and I livein Rudy, Arkansas. I just found
your show about a week ago.I have an issue. When I got
(31:52):
out of the military back in thesixties, they put me on all kinds
of drugs. But anyways, theone that I boudly liked or stayed with
was called adavan, and I stayedwith it for fifty years. Now nobody
(32:15):
can prescribe it for me, andthey're cutting me off, and I need
to know what to do. Thankyou so much, okay, Charlie,
thank you for your call and yourservice to our country. Sir, I
appreciate that. Wow, Adavan forfifty years, that's a long time to
(32:37):
take a drug like adavan. Adavan, by the way, is a benzo
diazepin class of drugs, sedative drugfolks, class of drugs that you might
recognize the word valium. That wasthe older category of benzo dasmin adavan.
Now, I mean in some hospitals, I'm not hitting you on this.
(33:00):
Some hospitals it's almost a running jokewhen somebody comes in and they're all stressed
and they're all hyped up, andthey're anxious and wild. They the nurses
and the doctors, they'll they'll talkto each other and say Okay, so,
so and so in operatory room orexamining table, this needs vitamin A.
(33:25):
They refer to adavan, the drugthe benzodesmen drug as vitamin a just
as a code word, code codetalk. It's weird. It's a drug
that's prescribed to reduce symptoms of anxietyand panic attacks, which is all about
fear. Obviously, Charlie, whilehe was defending bravely our country in the
(33:52):
military, developed an abnormal level offear that he did not get and fifty
years ago he went to a doctorand said, hey, doc, I'm
just I'm anxious all the time.I can't you know, this stuff keeps
rolling around in my head, thingsbad things that happened to me when I
was in the military. And thedoctor at that point prescribed at a VAN
(34:16):
And I think he said he wasin the Veterans Administration and he may have
had problems to sleep and agitation orrestlessness, which is some of the reasons
why the drug at a van,the benzo das have been class of drug
was prescribed to him. But inaddition to anxiety, at evan has prescribed
(34:39):
for people too that have seizures andspasms and alcohol withdrawal and insomnia, so
it's used for a whole bunch ofdifferent things. It can be, of
course used for depression as well,and that could be part of this,
but it's really a drug for anxiety. Anxiety is about fear, curbing unusual,
(35:01):
heightened, excessive fear, trying toget relief for people so they can
live a you know, a normalsomewhat normal life and quality of life.
Not have you know that symptom justbanging away on you. And it's usually
prescribed for about four weeks. Didyou hear Charlie from Rudy, Arkansas talk
(35:23):
about how he had been on itfor fifty years? Folks? This is
what is called science of modern medicine. Drugs that were earmarked for four weeks
and this, you know, thisincludes a whole list of other drugs that
you could pull out and they wereshort their short term bridges, or at
(35:45):
least they're designed to be, butthey never are, it seems, and
people stay on them just for life. I mean. It's great for the
pharmaceutical companies and the doctors who haveto get these visits in their offices,
you know, repeat business, butit's not good for the patient long run.
And the withdrawal symptoms. To Charlie, if you're listening, please don't
(36:07):
withdraw from this drug suddenly. Youhave to be either under the guidance of
a pharmacist or a pharmacologist or adoctor to do this. Ad event can
also deplete the hormone melatonin, whichcan which is your sleep hormone, which
can exacerbate insomnia and make the problemactually worse, which then message your immune
(36:27):
system up and everything else. Getto somebody who you can work with,
Charlie that does functional medicine or integratedmedicine that can deal with both the fear.
Get you on exercise, talk therapy, balance your chemistry out, give
you options to withdraw off of thisdrug that they're cutting you off on.
(36:49):
And I appreciate your phone called goodhealth to you, Charlie, Take good
care. I'm doctor Bob Marchin.What's wrong within, What's wrong with pin?
What's wrong within? Continent? Asfine content, It's time to get
(37:16):
the tee. You're tuned into theDoctor Bob Martin Show. Now, don't
go anywhere because coming up soon I'mgonna be talking about tattoos. They're in
the news again. I don't knowif you've heard about this, tattoos associated
with increased risk of lymphoma. That'sa form of cancer, lymphoma. And
(37:37):
size doesn't matter. If you havea tiny tattoo on your ankle or up
near your shoulder, or you're tattedfrom the tip of your skull to your
feet, it doesn't matter. Accordingto new Pew research, thirty two percent
of US adults have tattoos, andtwenty four percent of tattooed Americans regret ever
(38:01):
getting one. But this is majornews. A new study which I will
talk about a little bit later,how tattoos are associated with a form of
cancer called lymphomo. We'll get tothat. Let's go back to your telephone
calls and questions now. However,next up we say hello to Ruth in
Independence, Iowa. This is Ruthfrom Independence, Iowa. I would like
(38:22):
to know what that phone number wason that hearing aide I didn't get it
before. And also can you tellme why a person has post nasal drip
and what they can do about it? It bothers me terrible. Thank you
and I enjoy your show. Well, thank you for the call, Ruth,
(38:45):
appreciate that. First of all,you may have something confused here,
Ruth, We've never talked about hearingaids on this show. You may have
heard a commercial that was running onyour local station about hearing aids that you
are referring to. So what Iwould do is I would call your local
(39:06):
radio station there in Independence, Iowathat you're getting the show from, and
ask them in the sales department tohelp you with giving you information about the
hearing aid ad that you heard onthat station number one. As far as
the post nasal drip that you're havingtrouble with, it sounds very chronic.
The body makes you know, snotand nasal secretions when it's trying to get
(39:32):
rid of something, when it's tryingto surround something and smother it. So
nothing bad with it. It justmeans the problem that you have is ongoing.
It's not being solved. And alot of people who have these post
nasal drips, these things that justkeep ongoing no matter what they do,
(39:52):
usually have chronic low grade mold andyeast infections in their nasal sinuses sinus cavities.
So a combination of using garlic andthe one I like is aged garlic
extract called kyolic kyol I see becausegarlic is a very potent anti fungal,
(40:13):
anti mold, anti yeast supplement.Taking a tablespoon of that two or three
times a day and using what iscalled clear rescue nasal spray. Clear Rescue
nasal spray it has biocytal agents init that will go in there and help
kill the mold fungus in east infection. Then cut way down or eliminate sugar,
(40:36):
alcohol, and junk food that willhelp with this problem. And I
thank you for your phone call.Good health to you, Ruth. I'm

(01:41):
Bob and here in the capacity ofencouraging you to become your own best doctor
most of the time. All Right, We're going to talk about a very
important topic shortly here related to cholesterol. So if you have anybody in the
room in the next room that istaking statin drugs or cholesterol alluring drugs,
(02:07):
they might want to listen to thisconversation. And if they're not within the
earshot of this conversation, maybe youcan invite them over to my podcast library
after the show's finished so they canhear a recorded version of the program and
pick up on some of this importantinformation I'm about to discuss related to cholesterol
(02:31):
alering drugs, one of the mostprolific drug categories in the United States today.
So many people are taking cholesterol alowering drugs or statin drugs, and
I'm sure there's people that are beinghelped by them to some degree. I've
always been suspicious of them because ofthe mechanism by which they are used,
(02:54):
and a lot of people are finallypicking up on that, and we'll get
to that shortly. I also wantto let you know we have a totll
free number that at any time ofthe night or day, you can call
this toll free number and leave ahealth related question about yourself or somebody else,
or make a health comment. Eighthundred six zero six eighty eight twenty
(03:15):
two. It's our new caller hotlinenumber for questions or health related comments.
Or if you want to compliment thehost of the show, you can certainly
do that. We call that astroker eight hundred six zero six eighty eight
twenty two. Or the website doctorbob dot com spelling out the word doctor.
(03:37):
Almost half of cholesterol drug users don'tneed the drug. That's what the
American Heart Association is intimating of late. I know a lot of consumers are
just totally caught off guard by that. They're confused about that. What do
you mean we don't need almost half? We don't need statins anymore. I
(04:01):
thought they were important. I thoughtthey were saving my life. I thought
I couldn't get away without statins becausemy heart would explode it and have a
heart attack. Well, the AmericanHeart Association developed updated guidelines with a new
equation to calculate risks of cardiovascular diseasein today's population, as though it's any
(04:29):
different today than it was back whenthese statin drugs first came out thirty seven
years ago, Folks, thirty sevenyears ago, statin drugs, and again,
I'm not doubting the fact that theyhave efficacy to a certain degree,
but there's been a lot of healthexperts, a lot of doctors decrying for
(04:53):
years now that they're being used byway too many people for all the wrong
reasons. And then suddenly magically boom, just like that, nearly half around
forty percent of people, according tothe American Heart Association, around forty percent
(05:15):
of people currently advised to take statindrugs, and there's a lot of them
on the market. D Jore ClusterLearning drugs would not need to take them
if they were assessed today using thenew magical out of thin air criteria that
I guess didn't war that was workingjust a short time ago, and now
(05:40):
all of a sudden, no,no, no, not so much.
This according to a new study publishedjust this last week in the journal of
the American Medical Association Internal Medicine.So what do we have here. We
have thirty seven years at least whereforty percent of statin or cholesterol alluring drug
(06:06):
users to this class of drugs.We're taking the drugs. You guessed it
unnecessarily. Let me repeat that,based on the new criteria, the new
magical science of modern day medicine.They went back and they sharpened their pencils
(06:28):
and they're saying, look, okay, there's new criteria today. We are
calculating the need for cholesterol alluring drugson a different basis today. And oh,
just want to let you know thatabout forty percent of you people who
are taking it, almost half shouldn'tbe taking statin drugs based on the new
(06:54):
criteria. Wow, this just amazesme. And that's why I'm always fascinated
with how you know, these hardcoredoctors. Doctor Fauci is the epitome of
conventional medicine. I am science hisproclamation. But there's a lot of little
(07:20):
tyrants like that in modern medicine wherethey think they're all that and a white
coat and the stethoscope, godlike creaturesabove everybody else looking down. But I
digress. Now that's the science thatthey call the modern day science. We're
gonna suddenly just tell forty percent ofpeople who are taking these drugs that have
(07:46):
been taking them for years, riskingliver damage, brain damage, nerve damage,
risking the risk of diabetes, riskof cancer. I mean, the
list goes on and on. Lookup the list of adverse side effects of
stating drugs, and again, drugsare not bad. I'm not here to
bash drugs or statins. I'm hereto remind you that medical care has severe
(08:11):
limitations. And this just proves it. Even though a lot of people believe
that everything that walks out of themouth or comes out of the mouth of
somebody with an MD behind their nameis the gospel, it is one hundred
percent fact. It is one hundredpercent science, and I'm going to follow
it to the letter. And theonly thing you need to think about in
rebuking that response is COVID nineteen vaccinesor COVID nineteen shots. What a cluster
(08:39):
that was. But I digress.Now we're talking about these statin drugs and
how they got it wrong. Forthirty seven years at least in half the
people taking them. They're basically saying, without saying it, and hoping to
pull the woe of your eyes,is that we made a mistake. We're
wrong about out the calculation of whoreally needs stating drugs, and we're going
(09:03):
to pull them back from about fourout of ten people who are taking them.
Wow, this is amazing to me. I wonder how all the people
who have suffered greatly with adverse sideeffects and the expense and the hassle and
everything else of taking these cholesterol loweringdrug statins, what are they saying right
(09:26):
now when their doctors inform them that, Oh, Joe or Sally, I'm
glad you're in my office today andwe're going to make some adjustments in your
drug regimen. You don't need yourstatus any longer. Say what, No,
No. The American Heart Associators.American Heart Associators come up with some
(09:50):
interesting new data calculating the risk ofcardiovascular today and today's population, and you're
not in there. Therefore, we'regoing to reduce your drug load and I'm
going to unprescribe the statin that you'vebeen on for five, ten or fifteen
years or maybe twenty. You canonly I can only imagine what consumers are
(10:16):
thinking about this. I know whatI think. I think it confirms me
of the unnecessary drugs that are givenout every single day to millions of people,
unknowing that it's going to occur insome level someday. And don't forget
that about seventy percent of all drugs, there's actually one hundred percent of all
(10:43):
drugs. The average adverse side effectsabout seventy adverse side effects of the average
drug. We're going to finish upon this statin choluster a learning drug dilemb
After this, I'm doctor Bob Martin, and I welcome you back or welcome
(11:11):
you to this hour of the DoctorBob Martsen's show. Thank you so very
much for tuning into this program.Now, if you were with us last
segment, you hear me talking aboutthis latest revelation out of the American Heart
Association. Apparently they have developed newupdated guidelines with a new equation, we'll
(11:39):
call it fuzzy math, to calculatethe risks of cardiovascular disease in today's population,
to correct what has been wrong inabout one out of two people over
the last thirty seven years, theywere taking staton drugs, cholestero alluring drugs.
(12:01):
They're basically just sort of sliding iton in hoping that nobody sees it.
Elephant in the room, and thatis they're finding out that cholesterol is
not it folks. I mean,this is what it is. It's what
it's all about. You know.Blaming cholesterol for plaque in one's arteries is
(12:28):
like blaming you know. You're you. You see a lot of fire engines
going to a fire. There's athree alarmed fire in a home, and
you happen to go down that streeton your way home and you have to
go past the big fire, andyou see all the fire engines out there
(12:48):
trying to hose down the house that'son fire to protect the house from burning
completely to the foundation. And you'regoing past and you go, oh my
gosh, look at all those fireengines. There's the cause of the problem.
There's the problem with the fire.The fire was the fire engines.
(13:11):
That's ridiculous to blame the fireman andthe fire engines just because they were at
the scene of the fire. That'snot the cause of the fire. Somehow
that fire got started and it wasn'tthe fire engines that showed up to put
it out. That's what cholesterol isin the arteries your body makes about seventy
(13:33):
percent of seventy to eighty percent ofyour cholesterol is produced in your liver.
That's we make it, and thenwe take in, of course, a
certain amount of dietary cholesterol as well. Cholesterol is necessary, it's vital.
You couldn't live without it. It'simportant to your brain, your nerves,
(13:54):
your hormones, everything. Every cellin your body has cholesterol in it.
Made it a demon. Thirty sevenyears ago, the drug companies figured out
how to parlay a study that showedthat people who had plaque in their arteries
and went on to have heart attacksthey found cholesterol there. So of course
(14:16):
they blamed the cholesterol. Cholesterol wasa bystander. Cholesterol was the equivalent of
the fire engines showing up at thefire. It's all about inflammation, folks.
When you have an inflammation going oninside your body, inside your arteries,
the body brings cholesterol there as alet's say, a substance to put
(14:37):
out the fire. But it's notthe cause of the problem. But yet
the drug companies parlayed that into agold mine, and doctors got sucked right
into it, and they've been prescribingcholesterol alluring drugs for thirty seven years to
at least half the people taking themunnecessarily and risking all the side effects.
That's basically what the American Heart Associationsaying. So the cholesterol, yes,
(15:03):
is important. It's there, butit's not there because it's the problem.
It's there as a bystander. It'sthere to put a sort of a fat
slick over the fire to try toput it out. But blocking cholesterol does
nothing. It doesn't do anything.I mean, there's always exceptions to the
rule with these people with genetic problemswith apole B small particle and things like
(15:28):
that, but that's not what we'retalking about. We're talking about getting the
big picture here. And here wehave the American Heart Association developing a new
risk assessment to evaluate a person's riskof heart disease. The assessment called prevent
unbelievable. How they use the wordprevent in conventional medicine farthest thing from the
(15:52):
truth there is significantly they say,reduces the number of people who must take
these statin cholesterol learning drugs to preventheart disease. What they're basically doing is
admitting these calculations because they knew thatthe drug companies, they finally figured it
out, even though you know,it goes against all of the preaching up
to this point that everybody, everyman, woman, child, and every
(16:18):
guppy needs to be on cholesterol alluringdrugs. We'd save the humanity, the
furthest thing from the truth. Andagain, there are people, I'm sure
that have benefited by it, butmost don't because we're not talking about inflammation,
which is the real smoking gun behindwhy people develop high cholesterol in the
first place. Most of them,you know, minus people who have genetic
(16:41):
issues and there's a small subset populationfor that. Here's what one of the
lead researchers of this study who istelling people they don't need their statins,
about one out of two people don'tneed their statins anymore, he says,
Doctor Tuthy Anderson says lead author hereI quote. We don't want people to
(17:02):
think that they were treated incorrectly inthe past. They were treated with the
best data we had when cluster learningdrugs were introduced. This is a cardiovascular
risk calculator. Doctor Timothy Anderson,lead author of the study, said in
(17:26):
the news release, the data havechanged. Well, the thing that really
chides me the most is that howdoctors try to believe and how they mds
now try to get you to believethat every single thing that they say is
one hundred percent accurate and one hundredpercent truthful. Now, a lot of
men and women in medicine do agreat job, and they try to be
(17:48):
as as accurate as they can,but what they really need to be portraying
is telling you the public that medicineis not an exact science. It's far
from that. It's an art anda philosophy based on scientific principles, but
it is subject to errors and errorshappen. Why do you think medical miscare
(18:11):
is the number one cause of death, even higher than heart disease, even
higher than cancer and other diseases.It's because mistakes are made. But the
arrogance in conventional medicine is so rankwith the likes of doctor Fauci saying I
am science, you must believe me, basically saying I am God and you
(18:37):
must believe me, and some peoplesome people actually do. And you need
to discount that when any human anymortal tries to portray that they are beyond
the mistakes they make. Every singleday. We all make mistakes. That's
(18:57):
when you need to run, notwalk away from somebody that dangerous. Doctor
Timothy Anderson, the lead author ofthis study, which is saying, look,
we were wrong about the gloster Laarnierugs about half of the people that
are taking them shouldn't be taking himbecause of a new calculation. He goes
on to say, for a patientwho we know is at a lower risk
(19:21):
than we previously thought, meaning weguessed and we were wrong, if we
recommend they stopped taking statins, theystill should be back to a higher risk
five years down the road, forthe simple reason that everybody's risk goes up
(19:41):
as we get older. Just moreconfusion now. The study compared the American
Heart Association's h A twenty twenty threeguidelines to the two thirteen American Cardiology Guidelines,
the American Heart Association's most recent guidelines, which use prevent The study a
(20:07):
new risk assessing equation found that fewerpeople need to take statins, a cholesterol
lowering drug. Amazing, folks.The takeaway here, The takeaway is inflammation.
Once you get to the reason whyinflammation's there. Cholesterol is under control,
meaning diet, exercise, lifestyle,nutritional supplements like Omega three, fatty
(20:33):
acids, fiber in the diet ofcourse, and staying away from things that
cause the inflammation to happen, whichis the standard American diet mostly and other
dangerous lifestyles. That's where the action'sat all. Right, We're going to
take short break and come right back. You stay with us, please,
you're tuned into the Doctor Bob MartinShow. Are you waiting for the right

of heart health and how important thatis, and as you heard me mention,
a lot more people are taking chargeof their health today and learning that
(22:57):
it's the inflammation that matt is whenit comes to heart disease. And once
you get that corralled and controlled andunderstand it, cholesterol values go down,
they get better, they get better. And speaking of heart health, you

And we know that insolent sensitivity oftenhappens in people who have diabetes problems,
and diabetes and heart disease kind ofgo together, right, and red sage
(24:34):
plus reduces inflammation. What I wastalking about earlier as to what happens and
why the body overproduces cholesterol in thefirst place. Well, scientists concluded that
red sage the herb, maybe apowerful natural alternative that can support healthy blood
sugar levels, and red sage plus, the supplement from Terry Naturally Vitamins combines

(26:34):
this line yourself. Eight hundred sixzero six eighty eight twenty two. Let's
go to the phones now. Firstoff is Catherine, who's calling in from
Kingsport, Tennessee. Hello, myname is Catherine. I'm calling from Kingsport,
Tennessee, and I'm calling about astudy that was posted on CNN dot
(26:56):
com. The study says that lowcalorisweetener xylotol is linked to heart attack and
stroke. And I'm wondering if youcan explain that because I do use your
spry Mouth system. It's the onlytuescaste I use, and I use it
for mouthwash as well. I usethe Xclear nose and so I'm wondering if
(27:18):
you could address the CNN study thatis stating that the low calorie sweetener xylotol
is linked to heart attack and stroke. Thank you all right, Catherine,
Thank you for your call from Kingsport, Tennessee. Appreciate that. Now.
I did answer this question last weekon the program, and you can hear
(27:41):
like almost a forty five minute explanationof this. By going into my podcast
library over at doctor bob dot comspelling out the word doctor d Octo r
bob dot com. Then podcast thatwould be our number one, our number
one last week, you'll get theforty five minute explanation of this. I
mean, it's intense. And sothe answer to this, you know,
(28:06):
and I'll give you just you know, for those people who are curious about
it, they're listening right now,aren't going to go to the podcast library,
just an overview of it, andthat is that xylotol is a natural
sweetener and it's found in fruits andveggies. You're eating xylotol every day in
small quantities. And if you're consumingstrawberries, raspberries, blueberries, if you're
(28:27):
eating any mushrooms, cauliflower, plums, pumpkins, apples, and carrots,
all of them have amounts of xylotolin them. In fact, your body
makes xylatol. Human beings make xylotolas a side product to glucose metabolism.
That's true. Now when you seethese studies all of a sudden land in
(28:48):
the marketplace, Catherine, that areyou know, causing people to run for
the run for the door and say, oh my gosh, I've been using
violoto. Question it. Even thestudy author questions it. Doctor Stanley Hasen
from Cleveland Clinic saying that using toothpasteand xylotol we're chewing a stick of gum
(29:11):
with it, are probably not aproblem. This study does not show xylotol
caused incidents of heart attack or strokeor death. The study merely reports simple
alludes to an observational effect on platelets, and the people that they also observed
were high risk people. This isthe same kind of a hit piece that
(29:32):
they did on a reathrotol not longago, and Omega three not long ago.
You have to understand there's an agendabehind this. I'm not going to
stop using xylotol for sure, becauseit's really curbed all of my dental issues
and other problems as well. Butagain, listen to the whole forty five
(29:52):
minutes of the diatribe from last week. Appreciate your call. I'm doctor Bob

(31:26):
Let's get right back to work withyour telephone calls and questions. Next up
is Charlie calling in from Rudy,Arkansas. Good morning, Doctor Bob.
My name is Charlie and I livein Rudy, Arkansas. I just found
your show about a week ago.I have an issue. When I got
(31:52):
out of the military back in thesixties, they put me on all kinds
of drugs. But anyways, theone that I boudly liked or stayed with
was called adavan, and I stayedwith it for fifty years. Now nobody
(32:15):
can prescribe it for me, andthey're cutting me off, and I need
to know what to do. Thankyou so much, okay, Charlie,
thank you for your call and yourservice to our country. Sir, I
appreciate that. Wow, Adavan forfifty years, that's a long time to
(32:37):
take a drug like adavan. Adavan, by the way, is a benzo
diazepin class of drugs, sedative drugfolks, class of drugs that you might
recognize the word valium. That wasthe older category of benzo dasmin adavan.
Now, I mean in some hospitals, I'm not hitting you on this.
(33:00):
Some hospitals it's almost a running jokewhen somebody comes in and they're all stressed
and they're all hyped up, andthey're anxious and wild. They the nurses
and the doctors, they'll they'll talkto each other and say Okay, so,
so and so in operatory room orexamining table, this needs vitamin A.
(33:25):
They refer to adavan, the drugthe benzodesmen drug as vitamin a just
as a code word, code codetalk. It's weird. It's a drug
that's prescribed to reduce symptoms of anxietyand panic attacks, which is all about
fear. Obviously, Charlie, whilehe was defending bravely our country in the
(33:52):
military, developed an abnormal level offear that he did not get and fifty
years ago he went to a doctorand said, hey, doc, I'm
just I'm anxious all the time.I can't you know, this stuff keeps
rolling around in my head, thingsbad things that happened to me when I
was in the military. And thedoctor at that point prescribed at a VAN
(34:16):
And I think he said he wasin the Veterans Administration and he may have
had problems to sleep and agitation orrestlessness, which is some of the reasons
why the drug at a van,the benzo das have been class of drug
was prescribed to him. But inaddition to anxiety, at evan has prescribed
(34:39):
for people too that have seizures andspasms and alcohol withdrawal and insomnia, so
it's used for a whole bunch ofdifferent things. It can be, of
course used for depression as well,and that could be part of this,
but it's really a drug for anxiety. Anxiety is about fear, curbing unusual,
(35:01):
heightened, excessive fear, trying toget relief for people so they can
live a you know, a normalsomewhat normal life and quality of life.
Not have you know that symptom justbanging away on you. And it's usually
prescribed for about four weeks. Didyou hear Charlie from Rudy, Arkansas talk
(35:23):
about how he had been on itfor fifty years? Folks? This is
what is called science of modern medicine. Drugs that were earmarked for four weeks
and this, you know, thisincludes a whole list of other drugs that
you could pull out and they wereshort their short term bridges, or at
(35:45):
least they're designed to be, butthey never are, it seems, and
people stay on them just for life. I mean. It's great for the
pharmaceutical companies and the doctors who haveto get these visits in their offices,
you know, repeat business, butit's not good for the patient long run.
And the withdrawal symptoms. To Charlie, if you're listening, please don't
(36:07):
withdraw from this drug suddenly. Youhave to be either under the guidance of
a pharmacist or a pharmacologist or adoctor to do this. Ad event can
also deplete the hormone melatonin, whichcan which is your sleep hormone, which
can exacerbate insomnia and make the problemactually worse, which then message your immune
(36:27):
system up and everything else. Getto somebody who you can work with,
Charlie that does functional medicine or integratedmedicine that can deal with both the fear.
Get you on exercise, talk therapy, balance your chemistry out, give
you options to withdraw off of thisdrug that they're cutting you off on.
(36:49):
And I appreciate your phone called goodhealth to you, Charlie, Take good
care. I'm doctor Bob Marchin.What's wrong within, What's wrong with pin?
What's wrong within? Continent? Asfine content, It's time to get
(37:16):
the tee. You're tuned into theDoctor Bob Martin Show. Now, don't
go anywhere because coming up soon I'mgonna be talking about tattoos. They're in
the news again. I don't knowif you've heard about this, tattoos associated
with increased risk of lymphoma. That'sa form of cancer, lymphoma. And
(37:37):
size doesn't matter. If you havea tiny tattoo on your ankle or up
near your shoulder, or you're tattedfrom the tip of your skull to your
feet, it doesn't matter. Accordingto new Pew research, thirty two percent
of US adults have tattoos, andtwenty four percent of tattooed Americans regret ever
(38:01):
getting one. But this is majornews. A new study which I will
talk about a little bit later,how tattoos are associated with a form of
cancer called lymphomo. We'll get tothat. Let's go back to your telephone
calls and questions now. However,next up we say hello to Ruth in
Independence, Iowa. This is Ruthfrom Independence, Iowa. I would like
(38:22):
to know what that phone number wason that hearing aide I didn't get it
before. And also can you tellme why a person has post nasal drip
and what they can do about it? It bothers me terrible. Thank you
and I enjoy your show. Well, thank you for the call, Ruth,
(38:45):
appreciate that. First of all,you may have something confused here,
Ruth, We've never talked about hearingaids on this show. You may have
heard a commercial that was running onyour local station about hearing aids that you
are referring to. So what Iwould do is I would call your local
(39:06):
radio station there in Independence, Iowathat you're getting the show from, and
ask them in the sales department tohelp you with giving you information about the
hearing aid ad that you heard onthat station number one. As far as
the post nasal drip that you're havingtrouble with, it sounds very chronic.
The body makes you know, snotand nasal secretions when it's trying to get
(39:32):
rid of something, when it's tryingto surround something and smother it. So
nothing bad with it. It justmeans the problem that you have is ongoing.
It's not being solved. And alot of people who have these post
nasal drips, these things that justkeep ongoing no matter what they do,
(39:52):
usually have chronic low grade mold andyeast infections in their nasal sinuses sinus cavities.
So a combination of using garlic andthe one I like is aged garlic
extract called kyolic kyol I see becausegarlic is a very potent anti fungal,
(40:13):
anti mold, anti yeast supplement.Taking a tablespoon of that two or three
times a day and using what iscalled clear rescue nasal spray. Clear Rescue
nasal spray it has biocytal agents init that will go in there and help
kill the mold fungus in east infection. Then cut way down or eliminate sugar,
(40:36):
alcohol, and junk food that willhelp with this problem. And I
thank you for your phone call.Good health to you, Ruth. I'm
doctor Bob Martin,
