The tone free number to ask Doctor Martin a health
(00:45):
question or to make a health related comment is eight
hundred six oh six eighty eight twenty two. Eight hundred
six oh six eighty eight twenty two. That's eight hundred
six zero six eighty eight twenty two. It's the Doctor
Bob Martin.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Well, your body didn't come with an owner's manual, so
I provide the Doctor Bob Martin Show, helping you to
better health naturally. Welcome everyone, Welcome to the program. I'm
Doctor Bob here to encourage you to become your own
best doctor. Most of the time you can do that
(01:23):
with a little bit of help, and I'm here.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
To help you out. We've got a special guest.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Coming up a little bit later in the hour with
a fascinating important topic that can impact your health and
wellness now and in the future. But we're going to
begin this hour with the discussion about flu and influenza.
Have you ever wondered how scientists try to predict what
(01:50):
the next flu strain will actually be so that they
can attempt to make a matching flu vaccine or influenza
vaccine to the symptoms of influenza infection.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Now, I don't mean to burst your bubble here on
this topic of flu.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
And all things medical, but it's absolutely purely guesswork. The
CDC monitors which flu viruses are circulating in different parts
of the world, like Australia, South America, at different times
of the year, and then they try to guess what
(02:34):
the strain will be here in the US months and
months and months later, and hopefully they get it right.
Most of the time they don't. But we need to
have a discussion on this topic. Flu is here already,
but when is the ideal time to If you get
(02:55):
and I don't talk people out of getting flu shots.
It's your decision to make with your doctor's advice, but
is it really worth it's it's it's what's on us
right now.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Flu season.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
You're gonna start seeing those signs. You're gonna start getting
harassed and harangued and pressured into getting a flu shot
by your relatives and people that you know, and maybe
even your own doctor.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
And it happens every year.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Pharmacies began giving out flu vaccines already, which are recommended
for everyone, every man, every woman, every teenager, every child,
every infant six months.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Of age and older.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
The Centers for Disease Control and Quasi Prevention, well, they
recommend getting a flu shot either this month or next month,
since flu activity typically picks up in the early fall,
with cases reaching their peaks sometime around December or maybe
(03:57):
February the CDC it takes about two weeks for a
flu shot to become fully active, if it even becomes active.
Here's what one doctor has to say about the effectiveness
of getting a flu shot, and I quote, in an
optimal year, an optimal year, you may get around eighty
(04:20):
percent effectiveness with a flu shot. In a bad year,
maybe around thirty that's according to doctor Michelle Baron, Senior
medical Director of Infectious Prevention and Control at UC Health,
and I think it's even an exaggeration there. This year's
(04:40):
flu shots are trivalent, meaning they supposedly protect against three
flu viruses, two versions of influenza A and one type
of influenza B. For more than a decade, flu shots
here in the US.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Have also been.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Included with a fourth strain of influenza B, but that
strain hasn't circulated apparently since March twenty twenty, so the
FDA their Vaccine Advisory Committee elected this year to exclude it.
But flu vaccines are notoriously ineffective. Most people know that.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
As I said, it's.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Developed using only a handful of type A and type
B vaccine influenza viruses. Ladies and gentlemen, there are hundreds
and hundreds of these viruses in total out there circulating,
even when those chosen in a certain year are a
perfect match for the viruses that are circulating in the
(05:53):
particular flu season. It does not prevent all infections. We
know this, and for seniors, the flu vaccine may actually
make them even more susceptible to the flu virus. Moreover,
studies have shown that the flu vaccine has no impact
on mortality or death among elderly people. One study concluded
(06:14):
because fewer than ten percent of all winter deaths were
attributable to influenza in any season, they said, and we
can conclude then that observational studies substantially overestimate flu vaccination benefits.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Boy did they ever.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
And they do it out of the mechanism of trying
to put fear in the minds of people so they
get it. On top of that, another study uncovered a
link between deaths from coronavirus and flu vaccines among older adults.
After analyzing data more than a half million people, the
researchers noted a positive association between deaths from COVID nineteen
(06:55):
and influenza shots in those aged sixty.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Five and older.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
And another study has confirmed that when it comes to
people who are really overweight, like obese people, the flu
shot is almost virtually a waste of time and money.
The study was performed by researchers at the University of
North Carolina Chapel Hill, who studied the effects of flu
shots on over one thousand people North Carolina adults who
(07:24):
were either of healthy weight, overweight, or obese. All the
studies participants had received the trivalent influenza vaccine during the
two flu seasons. Scientists have long known that the flu
virus is particularly deadly for obese people because it penetrates
even more deeply into their lungs, causing serious, hard to
(07:48):
treat damage, and doctors have therefore been quick to advise
people who are morbidly obese or OBEs are really overweight
to get their flu vaccinations to prevent them from getting
sick in the first place. But the study found that
such shots flu shots do little, if anything, to prevent them,
meaning OBEs people from getting sick. The researchers discovered that
(08:11):
close to ten percent of obese participants developed the flu
or flu like illnesses, compared to only five percent of
those who were at healthy weight.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Or normal weight.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Vaccinated obese adults are twice as likely to develop flu
and influenza illnesses compared to vaccinated healthy adults. Now you
need also know, ladies and gentlemen, what is in a
flu shot. If you've ever wondered what was being injected
straight away into your body? How about formaldehyde? To start with,
(08:45):
formaldehyde is a known carcinogenic agent. How about aluminum salts.
Aluminum is used on many things, but few people know
that it is a metal. It is neurotoxic, which means
it's poisonous to your nerves. And earlier this year, scientific
research confirmed aluminum accumulation happens in the brain and can
(09:07):
cause all kinds of things. Many doctors believe it can
add to the risk of Alzheimer's disease, and we think
it may be even implicated in autism. You also have
thermasol in flu shots. That's a form of mercury. Mercury, again,
is neurotoxic, very very toxic. Why would you want mercury
in your veins? Remember the old school experiments. When anybody
(09:30):
broke that mercury when it used to be in schools,
they had to have hazmats come in and clean it up.
How about flu shots with chicken egg proteins directly going
into your bloodstream, more gelatine or antibiotics. They're all in there.
They're all in flu shots. Those ingredients I just listed off.
You may not have known that. I'm not telling you
(09:50):
not to get a flu shot. That's a decision you'll
have to make. But a lot of people are not
informed about this. So what do you do, Doctor Bob
to prevent the flu? Well, it's back to square one.
Stay hydrated during the winter months for sure. If you're overweight,
you try to lose some weight. You get plenty of sleep,
like seven to eight hours. You avoid sugar and junk food,
(10:11):
which takes your immune system down and leaves you more
susceptible to infection, especially eating chocolate. You shouldn't smoke that
it ratchets up your risk. You eat more organic fruits
and veggies.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
That's the idea.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
You get those nutrients in those antioxidants. You get more sunlight,
but never a sunburn. You take vitamin A, vitamin C
D three, and zinc supplementally. And if you get the flu,
you take black elderberry extract undergraphist. You take a homeopathic
remedy for flu remedies, you wait it out and you
(10:44):
get natural immunity. You good to go, your choice, though,
But wanted you to know. All right, our special guests
coming up.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Stay with us.

It's all over there and the podcast library doctor bob
dot com spelling out the word doctor docto r bob
(12:42):
dot com. Well, that last segment on flu shots, Oh man,
that's got to stir up a little controversy and pop
the uh burst the bubble of a lot of concepts.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
I think people thinking about flu shots.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
But again, I want to remind you that I'm not
telling you not to get a flu shot. That's a
personal decision you'll have to make, and whatever decision you make,
I support that, But you needed to know that information.
Hopefully you'll send it on to other people by having
them listen to the podcast of that interview. If they
have a miss it, that'll be in the podcast library
as of this coming Wednesday over at doctor bob dot com.
(13:16):
All right, now, before we go to our special guest
joining us in a little bit is Jane Jansen, nature
pathic practitioner. Before we go to that, you might be
wondering how former President Donald Trump feels about flu shots.
Now we happen to know he has a pretty interesting
opinion of himself getting a flu shot. We wanted you
(13:38):
to hear his opinion of that. Here we go, Donald,
Do you get the flu shot every year?
Speaker 6 (13:44):
No?
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Why?
Speaker 5 (13:45):
I don't know. I've never had one, and thus far,
I've never had the flu. I don't like the idea
of injecting bad stuff into your body, which is basically
what they do. And I guess this one has not
been very effective to start off with, but best one.
But I've never had a flu shot and I've never
had the flu. I've better knock on wood with some window.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
How is it that you've never had the flu?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
With all the business you've done over the years, you're
always shaking hands?
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Tell you I am, I am shaking hands, and I
just don't understand it myself. But I have friends that
religiously get the flu shot and then they get the flu.
You know that helps my thinking because I say, why
am I doing this? And then I've seen a lot
of reports that the last flu shot is virtually totally ineffective.
I've passed on it, but that doesn't mean people's I
(14:31):
know how you're.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Using at the flu.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
You're a healthy guy, and I'll bet when those flu
germs show up, you go, you fired.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
I fired them maybe immediately.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Right, Okay, So there's what former President Donald Trump has
to say about getting a flu shot. But again, it's
your decision to make, whatever decision you make. I support
that decision. But at least you're going to go in
a little more educated about it, especially if you heard
that first segment of the program today.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
All right, now we're going to.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Turn our attention to an important I think everybody needs
to know about. They need to hear about it, and
they need to understand that if they become their own
best doctors as it relates to taking care of their
gastro intestinal area and their microbiome and their microbiota, well,
your immune system is going to be a lot healthier.
(15:18):
We were just talking about that. Joining us in a
discussion of prebiotics, probiotics and post biotics and their importance
to your overall health, including your immune system. Our special
guest Jane Jansen. She's a naturopathic practitioner of the Tree
(15:39):
of Life wellness setter. Jane has the unique perspective as
a medical professional who, prior to becoming a nature pathic practitioner,
spent years and years in radiology an ultrasound doing research
and performing tests on patients with various types of health problems.
(16:01):
Jane joins us today to discuss why prebiotics, probiotics and
post biotics are all very very important to your health,
your health and your overall wellness. So with that, let
us welcome Jane Jansen to the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
Good day to you, Jane, Thank you, Doctor Bob. So
thrilled to be on with you today.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
It is a pleasure to have you, Jane, as a
nature pathic practitioner at a Tree of Life wellness center
in Massachusetts, you recently wrote a blog about probiotics, probiotics
and post biotics and their importance to health with your
patients in mind, what important wellness information did you want
(16:46):
to educate your patients and the general public, your followers
about this topic well?
Speaker 6 (16:52):
As a practitioner as well as you well know, it's
very important to stay on top of the latest research
and to only suggests really quality, effective lifestyle changes, dietary
changes as well as supplements that are going to be
helpful and improve somebody's overall health. And in particular, wanting
(17:15):
to start with the digestive tract which seems to get
ignored pretty much by conventional medicine, as an important part
of your immune system. The digestive system contains up to
eighty percent of your body's immune cells. So therefore, the
healthier your digestive system is, the healthier you generally are
(17:39):
going to be. And in fact, just recently, studies have
come out, in particular the NIH Research Matters National Institutes
of Health came out with articles saying how COVID and
other viruses, but particularly COVID disrupts the gut microbiome and
allows bacteria, particularly resistant bacteria to thrive and potentially also
(18:06):
it affects the lining of the digestive tract, which allow
these bacteria to get into the bloodstream and lead to
dangerous secondary infections. So taking care of this microbiome which
everybody is born with, this miniature little ecosystem in our
intestinal tract, which is populated by trillions of microscopic organisms,
(18:31):
which include thousands of species of bacteria as well as virus, fungus, parasite,
that most of them are good, some of them are not,
some of them are bad. And as we grow, this
gut microbiome changes and becomes more diversified to help the
immune system to be stronger and healthier and to regulate
(18:54):
the digestion of our food, our nervous system, our brain health,
and other organs within the body that protects us against
harmful invaders.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Excellent information, Jane. You're hearing the voice of Jane jenseny
nature pathoc practitioner, and she's talking about the gas intestinal area. Now,
you pointed out that the medical profession pretty much ignores
this whole area, and I think they do so because
they know that they got no game, as we say,
or no tools in the box to help that area.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
In fact, just the opposite of that. And you're right.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
I read the same studies. People were found who were
more susceptible to COVID or who came down with COVID
infections had not the right type of balance within their
gastro intestinal track, leaving them more susceptible because they didn't
have the population of a particular bacteria, a friendly bacteria
(19:52):
to protect the body from secondary bacterial infections after the
COVID virus, or other things to protect it. So it
goes down. And I mean, we know that when you
give medical drugs. I don't care name one. There are
hundreds of them. It actually disrupts the gastro intestinal tract. Ptabiotics, steroids,
(20:15):
chemotherapy go right down the line.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
It disrupts it.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
So it's almost counter to the gas intestinal track staying
healthy and getting well. And that's perhaps why why people
have to go outside of conventional medicine in order to
get this type of knowledge. All right, we're going to
take a break and come back with our special guest,
nature pathic practitioner Jane Jensen. We're going to tell you
(20:43):
how you can keep your gastro intestinal microbiome healthy. Those prebiotics, probiotics,
and post biotic metabolites.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Stay with us.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
You are tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
Are you waiting on a line?
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Next take? Are you waiting for the perfect night? Are
you waiting to the time is night by? Who?
Speaker 7 (21:13):
Don't you want to learn to deal with data?
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Don't you want to take the wheel and stead? Don't
you beat another man?
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Why?
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Wait?
Speaker 4 (21:25):
What are you in fault?
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Well, you happen to be tuned into the largest and
longest airing, nationally syndicated radio health talk show in America,
and that is largely you are in part to thank
for that. We appreciate you being here telling others about it.
Make sure you understand that we have a caller hotline
(21:47):
phone number, and we're gonna get to callers and questions
on the topic of health a little bit later in
the show. But I want to make sure you're aware
of our caller hotline phone numbers so you have access
to it three sixty five twenty four seven, where you
can call in leave a question about your health or
the health of somebody else, or a health related comment,
maybe even what you're hearing on this show. You like it,
(22:09):
you want to lay down a stroker for the host,
you can do that too. The number eight hundred six
zero six eighty eight twenty two eight hundred and six
zero six eighty eight twenty two in the website doctor
Bob dot com spelling out.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
The word doctor.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Our special guest Jane Jansen's with us. She's a nature
pathic practitioner. We're here talking about the importance of making
sure your gastrointestino track is hitting on all eight cylinders,
if you will, from a healthy bacterias standpoint, Yeah, bacteria
(22:45):
is not all bad. You got to have the friendly
ones in charge down there in the gastro intestinl track
in order to have an immune system that's competent and
ready to wage war against anything that comes in your direction.
Most people are already kind of like hitting a on
maybe six seven cylinders, maybe even lower, and then something
comes by and makes them sick, takes them out.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Not good.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
She's here to explain to us how to shore that
up and help yourself out naturally. All right, Gane, welcome
back to the show, and let's talk about what causes
the gastro intestinal microbiome to get out of balance in
the first place, so people can avoid or dodge those bullets.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
A lot of it has to do with the poor
American diet that's you know, loaded with lots of foods
that have a lot of preservatives, some of the pesticides
and different chemical fertilizers things like that have you know,
really ruined our foods, and also eating a lot of
(23:43):
high sugar or high white flour products. All these kinds
of things disrupt this microbiome. But a lot of medications
do as well, and doctor Bob, you already mentioned some
of them, but some of the most common ones as
well are like the acid inhibitors, the different ensades like
(24:04):
ibuprofen and as well leave as well as statin drugs
for cholesterol, different the laxatives. Anything that you put into
the digestive tract, sometimes we'll put it off balance. That
is pharmaceutical in particular, the ameprazole, the acid inhibitors, has
(24:27):
not been found to decrease our brain function and found
that it increases the risk of dementia by forty four
percent and people who are elderly and on it for
long periods of time. But fortunately you can turn this around.
You can improve the function of your digestive tract by
(24:50):
using a prebiotic, probiotic and post biotic formula that we
like in particular at our practice with patient and getting
fantastic results that doctor Ohear's probiotics.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Ah, it's the same one that I also use and
recommend and have done so for jeez, probably twenty years now. Jane.
I mean, this stuff's amazing. It has features about it
that no other probiotic can even come close to. And
we'll get further into that. How would somebody Jane. By
(25:26):
the way, folks, if you're looking for it, because you're
in and out of this conversation today, You can certainly
find doctor Ohias Probiotics in health food stores like Natural Grossers, Sprouts,
Farmers' Markets, Vitamin Shophole Foods, and other fine health food stores.
Doctor Ohhi's Probiotics their website. Also, they have one over
(25:47):
there at Escentralformulas dot com Escentral Formulas dot com. You
can also follow them Doctor O'heera's Probiotics on Facebook and Instagram. Jane,
let's talk about how would somebody recognize, symptomatically or otherwise
if their microbiome happened to be out of balance. What
are some of the key symptoms or triggers or hints
(26:08):
that they would have coming back from their body.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
Oh, A lot of it has, you know, the typical
abdominal discomfort, gas, bloated stomach, if you're burping a lot,
just acid reflux, constipation, loose tools, those kind of you know,
kind of a big signal saying hello, this microbiome is
out of balance. But also if you're having chronic frequent illnesses,
(26:35):
infections and as well as you know, inflammation of the body, arthritis,
any kind of inflammatory conditions, headaches, mood swings, anxiety and depression.
It can also the microbiome if it's out of balance,
affect the mood. And so if you start seeing a
(26:56):
lot of these things happeningly, people who are diabetic that
have high inflammatory markers are more likely to have this
disruption of their microbiome.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
I've bet a lot of people don't see the connection
between what's going on their head and what's going on
down there in their gut.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
I think you've just opened up the risk.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
So briefly, Jane, can you whip through what exactly are
these prebiotics? Most people haven't heard of those, or most
people have heard of probiotics and they haven't heard of
post biotics either. How are they each one of those
different and how do they play a role in this
microbiome health area of the human body.
Speaker 6 (27:38):
Well, the probiotics are the good bacterier that thrive in
your digestive tract, and again we're all born with them,
and there's different species that are beneficial that help to
again keep the balance, keep the bad stuff out. But
they need something to thrive on, and that's the pre
(27:59):
bio which are actually not living organisms. They have fibers
and polyphenols that your body doesn't digest, but are a
good source of nutrition for the probiotics, the good bacteria,
and the digestive tract. Kind of think of them like
the fertilizer that helps them to grow. And so what
(28:20):
often happens is people will take ineffective probiotics that don't
have the prebiotic, and it's like throwing feeds onto dry
soil with no nutrient value. They just kind of sit
there and they don't do anything. And so having this
prebiotic and doctor Hears encapsulates and they what they first
(28:40):
do is they grow the good bacteria and very species.
I think there's thirteen different species that they utilize. But
they feed them this prebiotic over three years, so what
you're left with is the most concentrated, highly effective probiotics.
(29:01):
And then they encapsulate that prebiotic with the probiotic, so
it keeps thriving. And once you ingest that that actually
helps to the prebiotic helps to also help your own
good bacteria to start thriving. So it's a combination win
(29:22):
win situation.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Yeah, all right, our special guest Jane Jensen, we're gonna
take a break and come back. If you're looking for
doctor Ohira's probiotics in the marketplace, you can look for
them and find your health food stores nationwide or natural
Grossers stores, Sprouts, Vitamin Chophole Foods, or go to Essential

here explaining to us that topic and we so appreciate that. Jane,
Welcome back to the program.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
Jane.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
In the marketplace people and you mentioned this in passing
about how a lot of probiotics are ineffective or worthless
and people are wasting money. I see all the time
people bragging about how many CFUs and how many billions
and billions of bacteria they got to keep it in
the refrigerated area of the health food store.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
All of this. People have to go through.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
That, and they pay for it, and they may not
be getting the benefits or the bang for the buck.
Can you explain to people why that is?
Speaker 7 (32:21):
Well?
Speaker 6 (32:21):
Again, I think that when you're putting in just throwing
as much as you possibly can in there, as far
as different probiotics, the zillions the billions, you're actually throwing
the microbiome out of balance as much as you're trying
to put it in balance, because too much can be
problematic as well. It's about having a healthy balance. And
(32:42):
that's why the doctor Hears is so important because again
it's the way they ferment it. It's using a traditional
Japanese process that over three years you have the strongest
good bacteria that thrive. As well as the prebiotic feeding.
(33:02):
The probiotic results in what they call post biotic metabolites
and nutrients that are beneficial for the entire body. And
Doctohearers produces over five hundred post biotic metabolites that help
support all the other organs in the body. It's these
(33:23):
micronutrients that help the pancreas, helps prevent insolent resistance, helps
the heart, the brain, all these little nutrients that potentially
you're not absorbing from the foods that you're eating.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
And I was so glad that you mentioned the importance
of fiber in the diet because I feel sorry for
these people who get on these fat diets quick weight
loss styles like Keto and the Caveman diet, in the
South Beach diet and the Atkins diet, which are really
lacking in fiber, and if they don't have the fiber
coming through their food because they're on a fat and
meat diet and dairy diet. How on Earth, Jane, do
(34:03):
they make the good prebiotics and turn it into probiotics
and post biotic metabolites.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
They don't for the most part, and so you know,
that's why a lot of times, over time you'll start
seeing the hair falling out, lack of energy, muscle deterioration,
and just again the microbiome digestive tractics orders start occurring.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Our special guest, Jane Janssen, a nature pathic practitioner, we're
talking about doctor Ohira's probiotics. They are found nationwide at
finer health food stores. You can also check out their website,
Essential formulas dot com. Essential formulas dot com. Jane, Are
there research studies that show that probiotics, probiotics and post
(34:53):
biotics promoting a balance in the microbiome have long range
health benefits?
Speaker 6 (34:58):
Yes, more and more they are doing studies even as
far as you know, cancer prevention as well as again
inflammatory health issues. And now, like I said, covid, because
COVID causes such a disruption in the digestive tract that
there are more and more research studies that are coming out.
(35:19):
In particular, there was one sell and host microbe have
showed numerous different benefits as far as for people with
diabetes and pancreatic disorders as well as Again in twenty
twenty three, in journal medcom concluded that the extensive, extensive
(35:41):
research and clinical evidence have demonstrated the mechanisms of probiotics,
prebiotics and post biotics are restoring the microbiotic homeostasis and
treating various types of diseases. And they're looking at as
now a significant factor in getting healthy and preventing disease
(36:04):
as well as contributing to treatments that doctors are doing
for cancer, including immune therapy.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Wow, well this reinforces my great decision years and years
and years ago for taking doctor O'Hara's probiotics once I
learned how important it is and how effective and how science.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
Based it is.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Folks, you do not have to even refrigerate doctor Ohira's probiotics.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
It's that stable.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
So the next time you're in your favorite health food
store health grocery store, find doctor Ohira's probiotics found at
natural grocers, Sprouts, vitamin Chop, whole Foods. You can also
check them out at Escentral Formulas dot com.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
Jane Jansen, thank you so much for joining us. Take
good care.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
I'm doctor Bob Martin. Stay tuned, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 7 (37:04):
I was told when I get go to Alma Fesers drink,
but now I'm insecure and to care what people.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
Time James be.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
Here with you, all right, welcome or welcome back to
this hour of the Doctor Bob Martsen Show. Thank you
to Jane Jansen for joining us to bring us up
to speed on all the great information she brought related
to the importance of the gastro intestam microbiome, so important information.
I would recommend if you have somebody in your life
that you think should benefit or could benefit by listening
(37:34):
to that they get into the podcast library, our number
one as of all this coming maybe Wednesday, and get
them to listen to it, or you can listen to
it all over again over on my website in the
podcast library, which are recordings of past shows over at
doctor Bob dot com. Spelling out the word doctor g
oct O R Bob dot com then find the podcast library.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
It's very easy.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
All right, let's get to your phone calls. Now and
say hello to Maureen in pine Bluff, Tennessee.
Speaker 8 (38:06):
Good morning. My name is Maureen. I live in piney Flat, Tennessee.
And my health question is I just recently went to
the eye doctor and they dilated my eyes. Since then,
I've been getting nausea, busyness, vertigo, and my stomach. Well,
I guess I would go along with nausea. I wanted
(38:28):
to know this has never happened before. I'm sixty four,
and is this something that's relatively normal or is this
something that should not happen. Thank you very much. I
look forward to your response.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Okay, Maureen, piny Flat, Tennessee, thank you for your phone call. Yes,
having your eyes dilated in a doctor's office, in an
optometrist or ophthalmologist office can cause nausea, etc.
Speaker 5 (39:02):
It can.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
These dilating drops can provoke and it sounds like you
may have had an an allergic reaction of something called
angle closure attacks and systemic reactions such as increased blood pressure.
They can generate that these eye drops on certain people,
not everybody. Most people do just find having their eyes dilated.
(39:24):
I've had my eyes dilated numbers of time, never had
any reaction whatsoever. Now, they usually tell you to wait
around a little bit before you get back into a
heavy piece of machinery like driving a car or a.
Speaker 4 (39:34):
Truck from the doctor's office.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
That's always a good idea until your site then accommodates
and the pupil is not fully whacked open from the
drug that just went into your eyeballs. But man, some
people have bad reactions like you, Maureene, including arrhythmias and
tachycardia where the heart is affected, or dizziness or vertigo,
(39:57):
or even increased sweating. What I would do is I
would check back. Usually this will go away on its
own over time, but I would you know, to counter that,
it would be a good idea to use something called
can see I drops cn h C E drops along
(40:17):
with taking more vitamin C which will scrub yourselves internally
to help detoxify the drug out of your body. And
then with the tincture of time, you should get better
with the nausea and the dizziness, et cetera. If you don't,
you should report that back to your doctor. All right,
I hope you feel good soon, Maureene. Thank you so
(40:38):
much for your call. Ladies and gentlemen stand by for
the next hour of The Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 4 (40:44):
We'll be right back
Welcome to the number one radio health talk show in America,

six zero six eighty eight twenty two. It's the Doctor
Bob Martin.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Well, your body didn't come with an owner's manual, so
I provide the Doctor Bob Martin Show, helping you to
better health naturally. Welcome everyone, Welcome to the program. I'm
Doctor Bob here to encourage you to become your own
best doctor. Most of the time you can do that
(01:23):
with a little bit of help, and I'm here.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
To help you out. We've got a special guest.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Coming up a little bit later in the hour with
a fascinating important topic that can impact your health and
wellness now and in the future. But we're going to
begin this hour with the discussion about flu and influenza.
Have you ever wondered how scientists try to predict what
(01:50):
the next flu strain will actually be so that they
can attempt to make a matching flu vaccine or influenza
vaccine to the symptoms of influenza infection.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Now, I don't mean to burst your bubble here on
this topic of flu.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
And all things medical, but it's absolutely purely guesswork. The
CDC monitors which flu viruses are circulating in different parts
of the world, like Australia, South America, at different times
of the year, and then they try to guess what
(02:34):
the strain will be here in the US months and
months and months later, and hopefully they get it right.
Most of the time they don't. But we need to
have a discussion on this topic. Flu is here already,
but when is the ideal time to If you get
(02:55):
and I don't talk people out of getting flu shots.
It's your decision to make with your doctor's advice, but
is it really worth it's it's it's what's on us
right now.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Flu season.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
You're gonna start seeing those signs. You're gonna start getting
harassed and harangued and pressured into getting a flu shot
by your relatives and people that you know, and maybe
even your own doctor.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
And it happens every year.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Pharmacies began giving out flu vaccines already, which are recommended
for everyone, every man, every woman, every teenager, every child,
every infant six months.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Of age and older.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
The Centers for Disease Control and Quasi Prevention, well, they
recommend getting a flu shot either this month or next month,
since flu activity typically picks up in the early fall,
with cases reaching their peaks sometime around December or maybe
(03:57):
February the CDC it takes about two weeks for a
flu shot to become fully active, if it even becomes active.
Here's what one doctor has to say about the effectiveness
of getting a flu shot, and I quote, in an
optimal year, an optimal year, you may get around eighty
(04:20):
percent effectiveness with a flu shot. In a bad year,
maybe around thirty that's according to doctor Michelle Baron, Senior
medical Director of Infectious Prevention and Control at UC Health,
and I think it's even an exaggeration there. This year's
(04:40):
flu shots are trivalent, meaning they supposedly protect against three
flu viruses, two versions of influenza A and one type
of influenza B. For more than a decade, flu shots
here in the US.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Have also been.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Included with a fourth strain of influenza B, but that
strain hasn't circulated apparently since March twenty twenty, so the
FDA their Vaccine Advisory Committee elected this year to exclude it.
But flu vaccines are notoriously ineffective. Most people know that.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
As I said, it's.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Developed using only a handful of type A and type
B vaccine influenza viruses. Ladies and gentlemen, there are hundreds
and hundreds of these viruses in total out there circulating,
even when those chosen in a certain year are a
perfect match for the viruses that are circulating in the
(05:53):
particular flu season. It does not prevent all infections. We
know this, and for seniors, the flu vaccine may actually
make them even more susceptible to the flu virus. Moreover,
studies have shown that the flu vaccine has no impact
on mortality or death among elderly people. One study concluded
(06:14):
because fewer than ten percent of all winter deaths were
attributable to influenza in any season, they said, and we
can conclude then that observational studies substantially overestimate flu vaccination benefits.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Boy did they ever.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
And they do it out of the mechanism of trying
to put fear in the minds of people so they
get it. On top of that, another study uncovered a
link between deaths from coronavirus and flu vaccines among older adults.
After analyzing data more than a half million people, the
researchers noted a positive association between deaths from COVID nineteen
(06:55):
and influenza shots in those aged sixty.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Five and older.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
And another study has confirmed that when it comes to
people who are really overweight, like obese people, the flu
shot is almost virtually a waste of time and money.
The study was performed by researchers at the University of
North Carolina Chapel Hill, who studied the effects of flu
shots on over one thousand people North Carolina adults who
(07:24):
were either of healthy weight, overweight, or obese. All the
studies participants had received the trivalent influenza vaccine during the
two flu seasons. Scientists have long known that the flu
virus is particularly deadly for obese people because it penetrates
even more deeply into their lungs, causing serious, hard to
(07:48):
treat damage, and doctors have therefore been quick to advise
people who are morbidly obese or OBEs are really overweight
to get their flu vaccinations to prevent them from getting
sick in the first place. But the study found that
such shots flu shots do little, if anything, to prevent them,
meaning OBEs people from getting sick. The researchers discovered that
(08:11):
close to ten percent of obese participants developed the flu
or flu like illnesses, compared to only five percent of
those who were at healthy weight.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Or normal weight.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Vaccinated obese adults are twice as likely to develop flu
and influenza illnesses compared to vaccinated healthy adults. Now you
need also know, ladies and gentlemen, what is in a
flu shot. If you've ever wondered what was being injected
straight away into your body? How about formaldehyde? To start with,
(08:45):
formaldehyde is a known carcinogenic agent. How about aluminum salts.
Aluminum is used on many things, but few people know
that it is a metal. It is neurotoxic, which means
it's poisonous to your nerves. And earlier this year, scientific
research confirmed aluminum accumulation happens in the brain and can
(09:07):
cause all kinds of things. Many doctors believe it can
add to the risk of Alzheimer's disease, and we think
it may be even implicated in autism. You also have
thermasol in flu shots. That's a form of mercury. Mercury, again,
is neurotoxic, very very toxic. Why would you want mercury
in your veins? Remember the old school experiments. When anybody
(09:30):
broke that mercury when it used to be in schools,
they had to have hazmats come in and clean it up.
How about flu shots with chicken egg proteins directly going
into your bloodstream, more gelatine or antibiotics. They're all in there.
They're all in flu shots. Those ingredients I just listed off.
You may not have known that. I'm not telling you
(09:50):
not to get a flu shot. That's a decision you'll
have to make. But a lot of people are not
informed about this. So what do you do, Doctor Bob
to prevent the flu? Well, it's back to square one.
Stay hydrated during the winter months for sure. If you're overweight,
you try to lose some weight. You get plenty of sleep,
like seven to eight hours. You avoid sugar and junk food,
(10:11):
which takes your immune system down and leaves you more
susceptible to infection, especially eating chocolate. You shouldn't smoke that
it ratchets up your risk. You eat more organic fruits
and veggies.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
That's the idea.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
You get those nutrients in those antioxidants. You get more sunlight,
but never a sunburn. You take vitamin A, vitamin C
D three, and zinc supplementally. And if you get the flu,
you take black elderberry extract undergraphist. You take a homeopathic
remedy for flu remedies, you wait it out and you
(10:44):
get natural immunity. You good to go, your choice, though,
But wanted you to know. All right, our special guests
coming up.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Stay with us.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
You're tuned into the Doctor Bob margin Show.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Welcome. Still I'm Ben again today.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Who said I.
Speaker 4 (11:13):

hundred six zero six eight eight two two one eight
hundred six zero six eight eight two to two, and
of course my website always for all things health related
news and social media platforms Instagram, x, LinkedIn, et cetera.
It's all over there and the podcast library doctor bob
dot com spelling out the word doctor docto r bob
(12:42):
dot com. Well, that last segment on flu shots, Oh man,
that's got to stir up a little controversy and pop
the uh burst the bubble of a lot of concepts.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
I think people thinking about flu shots.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
But again, I want to remind you that I'm not
telling you not to get a flu shot. That's a
personal decision you'll have to make, and whatever decision you make,
I support that, But you needed to know that information.
Hopefully you'll send it on to other people by having
them listen to the podcast of that interview. If they
have a miss it, that'll be in the podcast library
as of this coming Wednesday over at doctor bob dot com.
(13:16):
All right, now, before we go to our special guest
joining us in a little bit is Jane Jansen, nature
pathic practitioner. Before we go to that, you might be
wondering how former President Donald Trump feels about flu shots.
Now we happen to know he has a pretty interesting
opinion of himself getting a flu shot. We wanted you
(13:38):
to hear his opinion of that. Here we go, Donald,
Do you get the flu shot every year?
Speaker 6 (13:44):
No?
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Why?
Speaker 5 (13:45):
I don't know. I've never had one, and thus far,
I've never had the flu. I don't like the idea
of injecting bad stuff into your body, which is basically
what they do. And I guess this one has not
been very effective to start off with, but best one.
But I've never had a flu shot and I've never
had the flu. I've better knock on wood with some window.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
How is it that you've never had the flu?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
With all the business you've done over the years, you're
always shaking hands?
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Tell you I am, I am shaking hands, and I
just don't understand it myself. But I have friends that
religiously get the flu shot and then they get the flu.
You know that helps my thinking because I say, why
am I doing this? And then I've seen a lot
of reports that the last flu shot is virtually totally ineffective.
I've passed on it, but that doesn't mean people's I
(14:31):
know how you're.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Using at the flu.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
You're a healthy guy, and I'll bet when those flu
germs show up, you go, you fired.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
I fired them maybe immediately.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Right, Okay, So there's what former President Donald Trump has
to say about getting a flu shot. But again, it's
your decision to make, whatever decision you make. I support
that decision. But at least you're going to go in
a little more educated about it, especially if you heard
that first segment of the program today.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
All right, now we're going to.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Turn our attention to an important I think everybody needs
to know about. They need to hear about it, and
they need to understand that if they become their own
best doctors as it relates to taking care of their
gastro intestinal area and their microbiome and their microbiota, well,
your immune system is going to be a lot healthier.
(15:18):
We were just talking about that. Joining us in a
discussion of prebiotics, probiotics and post biotics and their importance
to your overall health, including your immune system. Our special
guest Jane Jansen. She's a naturopathic practitioner of the Tree
(15:39):
of Life wellness setter. Jane has the unique perspective as
a medical professional who, prior to becoming a nature pathic practitioner,
spent years and years in radiology an ultrasound doing research
and performing tests on patients with various types of health problems.
(16:01):
Jane joins us today to discuss why prebiotics, probiotics and
post biotics are all very very important to your health,
your health and your overall wellness. So with that, let
us welcome Jane Jansen to the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
Good day to you, Jane, Thank you, Doctor Bob. So
thrilled to be on with you today.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
It is a pleasure to have you, Jane, as a
nature pathic practitioner at a Tree of Life wellness center
in Massachusetts, you recently wrote a blog about probiotics, probiotics
and post biotics and their importance to health with your
patients in mind, what important wellness information did you want
(16:46):
to educate your patients and the general public, your followers
about this topic well?
Speaker 6 (16:52):
As a practitioner as well as you well know, it's
very important to stay on top of the latest research
and to only suggests really quality, effective lifestyle changes, dietary
changes as well as supplements that are going to be
helpful and improve somebody's overall health. And in particular, wanting
(17:15):
to start with the digestive tract which seems to get
ignored pretty much by conventional medicine, as an important part
of your immune system. The digestive system contains up to
eighty percent of your body's immune cells. So therefore, the
healthier your digestive system is, the healthier you generally are
(17:39):
going to be. And in fact, just recently, studies have
come out, in particular the NIH Research Matters National Institutes
of Health came out with articles saying how COVID and
other viruses, but particularly COVID disrupts the gut microbiome and
allows bacteria, particularly resistant bacteria to thrive and potentially also
(18:06):
it affects the lining of the digestive tract, which allow
these bacteria to get into the bloodstream and lead to
dangerous secondary infections. So taking care of this microbiome which
everybody is born with, this miniature little ecosystem in our
intestinal tract, which is populated by trillions of microscopic organisms,
(18:31):
which include thousands of species of bacteria as well as virus, fungus, parasite,
that most of them are good, some of them are not,
some of them are bad. And as we grow, this
gut microbiome changes and becomes more diversified to help the
immune system to be stronger and healthier and to regulate
(18:54):
the digestion of our food, our nervous system, our brain health,
and other organs within the body that protects us against
harmful invaders.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Excellent information, Jane. You're hearing the voice of Jane jenseny
nature pathoc practitioner, and she's talking about the gas intestinal area. Now,
you pointed out that the medical profession pretty much ignores
this whole area, and I think they do so because
they know that they got no game, as we say,
or no tools in the box to help that area.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
In fact, just the opposite of that. And you're right.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
I read the same studies. People were found who were
more susceptible to COVID or who came down with COVID
infections had not the right type of balance within their
gastro intestinal track, leaving them more susceptible because they didn't
have the population of a particular bacteria, a friendly bacteria
(19:52):
to protect the body from secondary bacterial infections after the
COVID virus, or other things to protect it. So it
goes down. And I mean, we know that when you
give medical drugs. I don't care name one. There are
hundreds of them. It actually disrupts the gastro intestinal tract. Ptabiotics, steroids,
(20:15):
chemotherapy go right down the line.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
It disrupts it.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
So it's almost counter to the gas intestinal track staying
healthy and getting well. And that's perhaps why why people
have to go outside of conventional medicine in order to
get this type of knowledge. All right, we're going to
take a break and come back with our special guest,
nature pathic practitioner Jane Jensen. We're going to tell you
(20:43):
how you can keep your gastro intestinal microbiome healthy. Those prebiotics, probiotics,
and post biotic metabolites.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Stay with us.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
You are tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
Are you waiting on a line?
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Next take? Are you waiting for the perfect night? Are
you waiting to the time is night by? Who?
Speaker 7 (21:13):
Don't you want to learn to deal with data?
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Don't you want to take the wheel and stead? Don't
you beat another man?
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Why?
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Wait?
Speaker 4 (21:25):
What are you in fault?
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Well, you happen to be tuned into the largest and
longest airing, nationally syndicated radio health talk show in America,
and that is largely you are in part to thank
for that. We appreciate you being here telling others about it.
Make sure you understand that we have a caller hotline
(21:47):
phone number, and we're gonna get to callers and questions
on the topic of health a little bit later in
the show. But I want to make sure you're aware
of our caller hotline phone numbers so you have access
to it three sixty five twenty four seven, where you
can call in leave a question about your health or
the health of somebody else, or a health related comment,
maybe even what you're hearing on this show. You like it,
(22:09):
you want to lay down a stroker for the host,
you can do that too. The number eight hundred six

Speaker 4 (22:24):
The word doctor.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Our special guest Jane Jansen's with us. She's a nature
pathic practitioner. We're here talking about the importance of making
sure your gastrointestino track is hitting on all eight cylinders,
if you will, from a healthy bacterias standpoint, Yeah, bacteria
(22:45):
is not all bad. You got to have the friendly
ones in charge down there in the gastro intestinl track
in order to have an immune system that's competent and
ready to wage war against anything that comes in your direction.
Most people are already kind of like hitting a on
maybe six seven cylinders, maybe even lower, and then something
comes by and makes them sick, takes them out.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Not good.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
She's here to explain to us how to shore that
up and help yourself out naturally. All right, Gane, welcome
back to the show, and let's talk about what causes
the gastro intestinal microbiome to get out of balance in
the first place, so people can avoid or dodge those bullets.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
A lot of it has to do with the poor
American diet that's you know, loaded with lots of foods
that have a lot of preservatives, some of the pesticides
and different chemical fertilizers things like that have you know,
really ruined our foods, and also eating a lot of
(23:43):
high sugar or high white flour products. All these kinds
of things disrupt this microbiome. But a lot of medications
do as well, and doctor Bob, you already mentioned some
of them, but some of the most common ones as
well are like the acid inhibitors, the different ensades like
(24:04):
ibuprofen and as well leave as well as statin drugs
for cholesterol, different the laxatives. Anything that you put into
the digestive tract, sometimes we'll put it off balance. That
is pharmaceutical in particular, the ameprazole, the acid inhibitors, has
(24:27):
not been found to decrease our brain function and found
that it increases the risk of dementia by forty four
percent and people who are elderly and on it for
long periods of time. But fortunately you can turn this around.
You can improve the function of your digestive tract by
(24:50):
using a prebiotic, probiotic and post biotic formula that we
like in particular at our practice with patient and getting
fantastic results that doctor Ohear's probiotics.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Ah, it's the same one that I also use and
recommend and have done so for jeez, probably twenty years now. Jane.
I mean, this stuff's amazing. It has features about it
that no other probiotic can even come close to. And
we'll get further into that. How would somebody Jane. By
(25:26):
the way, folks, if you're looking for it, because you're
in and out of this conversation today, You can certainly
find doctor Ohias Probiotics in health food stores like Natural Grossers, Sprouts,
Farmers' Markets, Vitamin Shophole Foods, and other fine health food stores.
Doctor Ohhi's Probiotics their website. Also, they have one over
(25:47):
there at Escentralformulas dot com Escentral Formulas dot com. You
can also follow them Doctor O'heera's Probiotics on Facebook and Instagram. Jane,
let's talk about how would somebody recognize, symptomatically or otherwise
if their microbiome happened to be out of balance. What
are some of the key symptoms or triggers or hints
(26:08):
that they would have coming back from their body.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
Oh, A lot of it has, you know, the typical
abdominal discomfort, gas, bloated stomach, if you're burping a lot,
just acid reflux, constipation, loose tools, those kind of you know,
kind of a big signal saying hello, this microbiome is
out of balance. But also if you're having chronic frequent illnesses,
(26:35):
infections and as well as you know, inflammation of the body, arthritis,
any kind of inflammatory conditions, headaches, mood swings, anxiety and depression.
It can also the microbiome if it's out of balance,
affect the mood. And so if you start seeing a
(26:56):
lot of these things happeningly, people who are diabetic that
have high inflammatory markers are more likely to have this
disruption of their microbiome.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
I've bet a lot of people don't see the connection
between what's going on their head and what's going on
down there in their gut.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
I think you've just opened up the risk.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
So briefly, Jane, can you whip through what exactly are
these prebiotics? Most people haven't heard of those, or most
people have heard of probiotics and they haven't heard of
post biotics either. How are they each one of those
different and how do they play a role in this
microbiome health area of the human body.
Speaker 6 (27:38):
Well, the probiotics are the good bacterier that thrive in
your digestive tract, and again we're all born with them,
and there's different species that are beneficial that help to
again keep the balance, keep the bad stuff out. But
they need something to thrive on, and that's the pre
(27:59):
bio which are actually not living organisms. They have fibers
and polyphenols that your body doesn't digest, but are a
good source of nutrition for the probiotics, the good bacteria,
and the digestive tract. Kind of think of them like
the fertilizer that helps them to grow. And so what
(28:20):
often happens is people will take ineffective probiotics that don't
have the prebiotic, and it's like throwing feeds onto dry
soil with no nutrient value. They just kind of sit
there and they don't do anything. And so having this
prebiotic and doctor Hears encapsulates and they what they first
(28:40):
do is they grow the good bacteria and very species.
I think there's thirteen different species that they utilize. But
they feed them this prebiotic over three years, so what
you're left with is the most concentrated, highly effective probiotics.
(29:01):
And then they encapsulate that prebiotic with the probiotic, so
it keeps thriving. And once you ingest that that actually
helps to the prebiotic helps to also help your own
good bacteria to start thriving. So it's a combination win
(29:22):
win situation.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Yeah, all right, our special guest Jane Jensen, we're gonna
take a break and come back. If you're looking for

(31:17):
Our special guest right now is Jane Jensen. She is
a nature pathic practitioner. We're talking about the importance of
you knowing about prebiotics, probiotics which most people have heard
of by now, and post biotics, and how so very
vitally important they are to your health and wellness. She's
(31:41):
here explaining to us that topic and we so appreciate that. Jane,
Welcome back to the program.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
Jane.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
In the marketplace people and you mentioned this in passing
about how a lot of probiotics are ineffective or worthless
and people are wasting money. I see all the time
people bragging about how many CFUs and how many billions
and billions of bacteria they got to keep it in
the refrigerated area of the health food store.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
All of this. People have to go through.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
That, and they pay for it, and they may not
be getting the benefits or the bang for the buck.
Can you explain to people why that is?
Speaker 7 (32:21):
Well?
Speaker 6 (32:21):
Again, I think that when you're putting in just throwing
as much as you possibly can in there, as far
as different probiotics, the zillions the billions, you're actually throwing
the microbiome out of balance as much as you're trying
to put it in balance, because too much can be
problematic as well. It's about having a healthy balance. And
(32:42):
that's why the doctor Hears is so important because again
it's the way they ferment it. It's using a traditional
Japanese process that over three years you have the strongest
good bacteria that thrive. As well as the prebiotic feeding.
(33:02):
The probiotic results in what they call post biotic metabolites
and nutrients that are beneficial for the entire body. And
Doctohearers produces over five hundred post biotic metabolites that help
support all the other organs in the body. It's these
(33:23):
micronutrients that help the pancreas, helps prevent insolent resistance, helps
the heart, the brain, all these little nutrients that potentially
you're not absorbing from the foods that you're eating.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
And I was so glad that you mentioned the importance
of fiber in the diet because I feel sorry for
these people who get on these fat diets quick weight
loss styles like Keto and the Caveman diet, in the
South Beach diet and the Atkins diet, which are really
lacking in fiber, and if they don't have the fiber
coming through their food because they're on a fat and
meat diet and dairy diet. How on Earth, Jane, do
(34:03):
they make the good prebiotics and turn it into probiotics
and post biotic metabolites.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
They don't for the most part, and so you know,
that's why a lot of times, over time you'll start
seeing the hair falling out, lack of energy, muscle deterioration,
and just again the microbiome digestive tractics orders start occurring.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Our special guest, Jane Janssen, a nature pathic practitioner, we're
talking about doctor Ohira's probiotics. They are found nationwide at
finer health food stores. You can also check out their website,
Essential formulas dot com. Essential formulas dot com. Jane, Are
there research studies that show that probiotics, probiotics and post
(34:53):
biotics promoting a balance in the microbiome have long range
health benefits?
Speaker 6 (34:58):
Yes, more and more they are doing studies even as
far as you know, cancer prevention as well as again
inflammatory health issues. And now, like I said, covid, because
COVID causes such a disruption in the digestive tract that
there are more and more research studies that are coming out.
(35:19):
In particular, there was one sell and host microbe have
showed numerous different benefits as far as for people with
diabetes and pancreatic disorders as well as Again in twenty
twenty three, in journal medcom concluded that the extensive, extensive
(35:41):
research and clinical evidence have demonstrated the mechanisms of probiotics,
prebiotics and post biotics are restoring the microbiotic homeostasis and
treating various types of diseases. And they're looking at as
now a significant factor in getting healthy and preventing disease
(36:04):
as well as contributing to treatments that doctors are doing
for cancer, including immune therapy.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Wow, well this reinforces my great decision years and years
and years ago for taking doctor O'Hara's probiotics once I
learned how important it is and how effective and how science.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
Based it is.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Folks, you do not have to even refrigerate doctor Ohira's probiotics.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
It's that stable.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
So the next time you're in your favorite health food
store health grocery store, find doctor Ohira's probiotics found at
natural grocers, Sprouts, vitamin Chop, whole Foods. You can also
check them out at Escentral Formulas dot com.

Speaker 4 (37:09):
Time James be.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
Here with you, all right, welcome or welcome back to
this hour of the Doctor Bob Martsen Show. Thank you
to Jane Jansen for joining us to bring us up
to speed on all the great information she brought related
to the importance of the gastro intestam microbiome, so important information.
I would recommend if you have somebody in your life
that you think should benefit or could benefit by listening
(37:34):
to that they get into the podcast library, our number
one as of all this coming maybe Wednesday, and get
them to listen to it, or you can listen to
it all over again over on my website in the
podcast library, which are recordings of past shows over at
doctor Bob dot com. Spelling out the word doctor g
oct O R Bob dot com then find the podcast library.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
It's very easy.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
All right, let's get to your phone calls. Now and
say hello to Maureen in pine Bluff, Tennessee.
Speaker 8 (38:06):
Good morning. My name is Maureen. I live in piney Flat, Tennessee.
And my health question is I just recently went to
the eye doctor and they dilated my eyes. Since then,
I've been getting nausea, busyness, vertigo, and my stomach. Well,
I guess I would go along with nausea. I wanted
(38:28):
to know this has never happened before. I'm sixty four,
and is this something that's relatively normal or is this
something that should not happen. Thank you very much. I
look forward to your response.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Okay, Maureen, piny Flat, Tennessee, thank you for your phone call. Yes,
having your eyes dilated in a doctor's office, in an
optometrist or ophthalmologist office can cause nausea, etc.
Speaker 5 (39:02):
It can.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
These dilating drops can provoke and it sounds like you
may have had an an allergic reaction of something called
angle closure attacks and systemic reactions such as increased blood pressure.
They can generate that these eye drops on certain people,
not everybody. Most people do just find having their eyes dilated.
(39:24):
I've had my eyes dilated numbers of time, never had
any reaction whatsoever. Now, they usually tell you to wait
around a little bit before you get back into a
heavy piece of machinery like driving a car or a.
Speaker 4 (39:34):
Truck from the doctor's office.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
That's always a good idea until your site then accommodates
and the pupil is not fully whacked open from the
drug that just went into your eyeballs. But man, some
people have bad reactions like you, Maureene, including arrhythmias and
tachycardia where the heart is affected, or dizziness or vertigo,
(39:57):
or even increased sweating. What I would do is I
would check back. Usually this will go away on its
own over time, but I would you know, to counter that,
it would be a good idea to use something called
can see I drops cn h C E drops along
(40:17):
with taking more vitamin C which will scrub yourselves internally
to help detoxify the drug out of your body. And
then with the tincture of time, you should get better
with the nausea and the dizziness, et cetera. If you don't,
you should report that back to your doctor. All right,
I hope you feel good soon, Maureene. Thank you so
(40:38):
much for your call. Ladies and gentlemen stand by for
the next hour of The Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 4 (40:44):
We'll be right back
