over there at Instagram too, if you want to take
(05:02):
a look at it all right, and we're going to
take also your phone calls and questions on the topic
of health this hour, so stand by for that. Now
we begin with the topic of how to help you
perhaps cure your dry eyes. It's estimated that about thirty
five to seventy million Americans suffer from dry eye. Dry
(05:24):
eye results from abnormal and insufficient tears which can lead
to i irritation and ultimately inflammation in the eye. It
brings tears to my eyes to learn that so many
Americans have this problem.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Geez.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
At least two billion dollars are spent every year on
eye drops. Two billion with a bee Well, Scientists writing
in the British Medical Journal report a drug free, non
eye drop way to solve your eye drops. Listen to
this laughing, folks, laughing can be just as effective as
(06:02):
eye drops. I kid you, not laughing when it comes
to dry ice, start laughing. Laughter helps, And that's what
they have determined. This is gonna hurt the eye drop
industry when they figure out why their business has gone south,
because people are starting to laugh and when you laugh,
(06:23):
your eyes become less dry, they start producing more tears.
It's true. It's long been said that laughter is the
best medicine. Well here it is possibly even the medicine
for your eyes. Try it, you'll like it. For the study.
(06:43):
This is based on science, By the way, This is
not conjecture or some far out thing. For a study
has found that laughing can be just as effective as
eye drops when it comes to dry eyes. Researchers suggest
it could be prescribed as an all alternative treatment for
dry eyes, which causes red, itchy eyes and can effect
(07:06):
one in a lot of people. Millions of people were
impacted by this. Laughter can be linked to a host
of health problems, from easing stress to chronic pain to
strengthening the immune system. People have had chronic inflammation and
laughed themselves well, well, here's another application of laughter and humor.
(07:29):
Scientists in the United Kingdom set out to assess the
effectiveness and safety of laughter exercise in patients with symptoms
of dry eye disease. Their studies. Their scientific studies and
trials involved almost three hundred people between the ages of
(07:49):
eighteen and forty five diagnosed with the condition of dry
eye using Ocular Surface Disease Index. What it is, It's
an instrument that actually measures the dryness of the eye itself.
They either took sodium hyaluronic acid eye drops four times
(08:12):
a day for eight weeks, or they were assigned a
laughter exercise group over the same period of time and
after watching an instructional video, the laughter group were asked
to vocalize and repeat the phrases including he he he
ha haha, and cheese, cheese, cheese, that's all they had
(08:35):
to do, and they would complete this thirty times per
five minute sessions using a face recognition mobile app to
standardize the exercise and enhance facial movements that mimic laughter.
Both treatments were stopped at eight weeks, and any change
(08:57):
in the eye surface discomfort scores were measured at weeks
ten and weeks and week twelve. The average eye score
where they measured dryness of the iron lubrication of the
eye at eight weeks was ten point five points lower,
indicating less discomfort in the laughter exercise group, and only
(09:20):
eight something in lower in the eye drop group. That
is amazing, suggesting laughter, ladies and gentlemen, is more effective
scientifically for dry eyes than putting eye drops in your eyes.
It's true and the scientists have figured it out. Laughter
(09:41):
exercise also showed significant improvement in other measures of eye health,
such as moisture after blinking, oil gland function that helped
prevent tears from evaporating too quickly, and overall mental health
because they didn't have to deal with dry eyes. They
were writing in the British Medical Journal of the authors
(10:01):
of the University of Belfast and another university in China
said it could prove a cheap and effective alternative to
eye drops. They added as safe as a safe, environmentally friendly,
and low cost intervention. Laughter exercise could serve for the
first line as a home based treatment for people with
(10:22):
symptomatic dry eye disease and limited corneal straining. If you
have an aversion to laughter or just don't want to,
there are some effect of all their alternatives out there,
like lactoferrin capsules. You can get these in health food stores.
Aronea very complex can see eye drops. We've talked about
(10:42):
those in increasing your Omega three supplementation. But if you
want to get rid of dry eyes, start laughing, laugh, laugh,
laugh for less dry eyes. I'm doctor Bob Martin. All right,
(11:18):
doctor Bob Martin, back with you. I wonder how many
people based on that last segment, because I mean, the
amount of people that suffer from dry eye syndrome in
America is huge. Thirty five to seventy million Americans suffer
from dry eye and they're jamming the eye drops into
(11:40):
their eyes all day, every day, and so many of
them the drugs. I don't care if it's maurine or restasis.
They all have chemicals that go into your body through
your eye that aren't good for you. It's not good
to have dry eye either. I get that. But what
(12:01):
if you started a laughter program every day where you
found something that was funny or you just forced yourself
to laugh, and you solved your dry eye syndrome and
that eyedrops go down to drain. That would be fantastic.
And it's true, all right, always here looking out for you,
(12:22):
trying to save you some dollars here on the Doctor
Bob Martin Show. Hope you enjoyed that, and you probably
have people in your life that have dry eye. Maybe

Brevity is appreciated. The number eight hundred six zero six
eight A two two eight hundred six zero six eighty
eight two two one eight hundred six zero six eighty
eight twenty two. Here we go. First up is Irene
calling in from Fort Collins, Colorado.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Irene, Fort Talents, Colorado. My question is how do I
help my grandchildren. They've been in and out of the
hospital with respiratory problem. What kind of a new medicine
can I help them with?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Thank you you're welcome, Irene. Thank you for your phone call. Boy.
This is such a common problem. She's concerned about her grandkids,
and I want all grandparents listening to the show right
now and parents of children listening to the show to
hear what I have to say. I'm a father of
six children, so this is something that I had to
(15:53):
deal with. They're all grown up now, they all have
families and all that. They're excuse me, they're healthy and
they're will and now of course they're managing their own children.
And I'm keeping an eye on my twelve grandchildren and
my one great grandchild in the same manner.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
So this is.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
This, excuse me, this is the call to action for
any parent who's got children that are young. They get
the boogiey noses, they get the sicknesses when they come
home from school, and they get ill, and they end
up having that go from their upper respiratory system into
their lungs and so forth, and of course when it
(16:36):
gets serious, they obviously it's important to see the pediatrician,
see the doctor. But you can so often head this
stuff off safely and naturally and also prevent it. Here's
how I did it. With all six of my children.
They never saw a pediatrician their entire lives. They never
went to the hospital, never had any drugs whatsoever, all
(16:57):
six children. It's not that difficult. You make sure that
your children not drinking cow milk. Cow milk is the
number one cause of childhood illness in my opinion, and
eating sugar, junk food, and chocolate. Those are the three
biggest fenders in as it relates to children getting sick
(17:19):
giving them ice cream and cow milk. There's other alternatives
for you to consider beyond that, and their little bodies
will do just fine. So cut the dairy out, cut
the sugar in, the junk food, and the chocolate out,
and you're going to see those children get better automatically.
But children in this age, because they're finicky, they don't
(17:41):
always eat right. You know, you put the vegetables in
front of them. I fought all six of my kids
on this. Who hasn't I hated vegetables growing up, how
about you? So they fight you on the vegetables, and
you do everything you can to get them into their bodies,
knowing that those nutrients will help their immune systems stay strong,
they'll grow and you know, lengthen their body in terms
(18:05):
of height and everything and stay out of the obesity
syndrome if you feed them well. But there's also the
opportunity to give them supplements, ladies and gentlemen. Supplements are
so important to children if they are getting sick or
you don't want them to get sick. There is a
(18:27):
company that I'm aware of called Zarb zar b e
s Zarb Children's multi immune Supplement. It's tough to get children,
you know, if they're young, really young, they can't swallow
big horse pills. So this company, Zarbi's, they don't even
know me from Jason, but they're a great one because
(18:47):
they have a designed supplement just for little kids children
to keep them out of these little infections that they
get into. They have everything in the child needs, vitamin A,
vitamin C, zinc, vitamin D, which is the anti virus vitamin.
It has black elderberry which is anti viral again, so
(19:14):
there's ways to stop these children from getting ill. Irene,
I am so glad that you called into the program
today to ask this question. I wish more grandparents had
the mindset that you did in believing that, look, it's
not normal for kids to go get antibiotics. In fact,
(19:35):
I was just watching a news a news commentator interview
a medical doctor from Johns Hopkins University the other day,
doctor Marty McCarron, mdphd and what does he say. He
says that at least sixty percent of all antibiotics prescribed
(19:57):
in America are completely unnecess necessary sixty percent. So every
time your doctor prescribes your child when they go in
sick an antibiotic, at least six out of ten times
the antibiotic is completely unnecessary. I don't care if it's
for an ear infection or viral infection or bronchitis. Completely unnecessary,
(20:18):
and you are destroying that child's microbiome. You're destroying their
intestine and their immune system by giving them unnecessary antibiotics.
So you keep them off the dairy foods, the sugar,
the chocolate. You make sure they're getting hydrated, they're getting
good foods, and you give them like a supplement like
Zarbi's Children's Multiimmune Supplement. I also gave our children as well,
(20:45):
about a half a teaspoon of chiolic age garlic extract.
It's liquid. Put it in juice, coyolic age garlic extract.
All right, we're gonna come right back. You're tuned into
the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Everybody's got fay mistakes, but everybody's got a choice to make.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Everybody needs to leave the faith.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
When are you taking yours?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Mon?
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Are you info?
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Welcome or welcome back to this hour of the Doctor
Bob Martin's show. We thank you for tuning into the program,
and you want to tell other people about the program.
If you think they could benefit by tuning in, they
can simply jot down the call letters of the station
you're listening to, the frequency on the dial, whether it's
an a mr FM station, time of the day, and
pass that on too as many people as you can,
(21:44):
giving them the opportunity to tune in to hear about
all this healthy stuff we talk about week in, week out.
We will be returning to more of your phone calls
and questions on the topic of health. You heard that
last caller, I Ren from Fort Collins, Colorado, calling in
on behalf of her grandchildren. They're always sick, They're always
(22:05):
in the pediatrician's office, always getting drugged with antibiotics, and
who knows what else. When you can easily modify the
diets and give them nutritional supplementation, keep them hydrated, and
it's going to cut down and reduce their level of
(22:25):
illnesses big time, just by using the supplements and some
easy things that we talked about in the last segment.
It's true, and I have not only with my own
children put that into action all the years of my
six children, but also all of the pediatric patients that
came into my office over the many years that we
(22:49):
serve them. We'll get back to more of your phone
calls and questions very shortly, but I want to let
you also know that the health of your oral cavity
is quintessential to your overall health. What starts in the
mouth can happen other areas in other areas of the body.
For example, if you develop inflammation of the gums like gingeritis,
(23:11):
or develop peridontal disease, those simmering, low grade infections can
affect other parts of your body, including your heart. So
it's important to see your dentist. It's important to see
your dental hygienis, and it's also important for you to
floss and irrigate and use toothpaste and all that. But
it needs to be the right one. We don't want
you getting into any of the chemicals that the prototypical
(23:34):
toothpaste and mouthwash has in it. Some of the chemicals
are very harsh, they're not good for you. And I'm
often asked, well, what do you use, doctor Bob to
keep your oral health tip top I say, Spry Spry
Dental Defense System. It's accommodation of Spry toothpaste and Spry
mouth thrents. They also have Spry mint and gums. And
(23:58):
if yours uptight about seeing a dentist and hygienis as
I am, because I literally when I walk into the
dental practice, because I think I was hurt as a
child in the dental chair with fillings and drillings and
all that stuff, and oh just I start getting blood
pressure rising when I think about I want to keep
my dental health so pristine healthy that I get a
(24:21):
clean bill of health every time I go in for
a deep cleaning, maybe once a year or twice a year.
How about you, And if you want to do the same,
you will start using Spry toothpaste and Spry muthrins. It
comes in peppermint cinnamon Inspiariment. It's a plant based ingredient
in Spry toothpaste and rinse that works so well and
(24:44):
is anti cavity, anti plaque, and also anti bad news.
When you get to the dental practice, you don't want
them whispering in your ear. You need a root canal,
You need a filling today, you need a crown. Oh,
I need to extract that one. It's really bad. Get
on the Spry Dental Defense system like I did, and
you're gonna be feeling good in your oral cavity, squeaky
(25:07):
clean teeth and gums and breath. Spry Dental Defense available
at CBS right ad target, vitamin chops, sprouts, natural grossers,
or for more information go to Clear x l e
a r dot com. Clear x L e r dot com.
It's the company that also sells Clear nasal sprays. Get
(25:28):
those going this autumn and winter season. We're gonna need them.
X L e a r. Nasal spray and the Spry
Dental Defense System. All right, let's get right back to
work with your telephone calls and questions at eight hundred
six zero six eight eight two two. Next up is
(25:49):
Milton calling in from Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Milton from Bowling Green, Kentucky, and I'm interested in tonights
bringing my ears.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
All right, Milton, you are amongst millions of people who
have tenitis or tenatus ringing in the ears. It is
a very complex problem. It can be difficult to solve.
I've treated many cases of it. There's nothing in medicine
to be done for it. There's no drug, there's no
surgery for it. You can use masking devices where you
(26:26):
just put another noise in your ear to cover up
the ringing noise, maybe like you know, and some people
use static like FM noise. They just find a FM
area of the radio dial and they just have static
playing so it covers up the ringing, the incessant ringing
or buzzing or chirping, whatever noise it is. It's still
(26:47):
called tenitis or ringing in the ears, so you can
try that. Also. Acupuncture consider using acupuncture for ringing in
the ears. That has shown some good results. There's no
path to see you with this condition. It takes time too.
It's not going to be like one acupuncture treatment and done.
You may have to have a series of treatments. There's
(27:08):
also a product in the marketplace called Ringstop Ringstop by
a company by the name of Natural Care Products. That
is a homeopathic remedy that also helps people with tonitis.
Find that in health food stores like Natural Grossers and
other stores. And lastly, there's an herb called vin posaitin
(27:30):
vin posatin, or also called periwinkle. It has been used
in Europe as a smart drug for years, but it
also is excellent for ringing in the ears. So stay
away from things that cause ringing in the ears. What
are they? Well, a lot of things. Caffeine is one,
and there's about two hundred and fifty medical drugs that
(27:52):
increase the risk of ringing in the ears, from aspirin
to ibuprofen, to certain antibiotics and chemotherapy. So a lot
of medical drugs will actually cause ringing in the ears
or exacerbate it, and so does caffeine. So be careful
with that. And I appreciate your phone call, Milton. All right,
Next up is Michael from Columbia, Illinois.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Yes, doctor Bob, name is Michael, Colombia, Illinois, and never
had a health issue. Now all of a sudden, I
have high blood sugar. What are the remedies that I
can look into? As I've quit white sugar, quit potatoes,
(28:38):
quit white bread, and cut my alcohol fifty percent listening
to your show, hope I still reach it. I'm a driver.
Thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Okay, Michael, thank you for your phone call. Well you
might want to cut your drinking down just a little
bit more, how about to like maybe five Not only
would that help your blood sugar, but also reduce your
risk on the road, my friend. But you're doing some
good stuff getting off the sugar the white flour potatoes.
I don't have a problem with that as long as
it's with some protein of some sort. No issue. There's
(29:15):
also a couple of formulas, Michael, that you need to
look into for helping lower blood sugar safely naturally. One
is called blood sugar balance by Kyolic, blood sugar balance
by Coyolic, and blood sugar health, blood sugar health by
Terry naturally vitamins. Exercise is quintessential to helping blood sugar.
(29:35):
So get out of that cab every once in a
while and move about and get more exercise. Stay on
that good diet that you're on, take the supplements, and
cut down on alcohol, and if you do that, you
can say goodbye to the blood sugar problems. I'm doctor
Bob Martin.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
I'm a bush of this number, Simon. They have one
(30:21):
never single minds up.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Today, all right, doctor Bob Martin, back with you. Thank

we provide week in, week out. All right, our toll

the Instagram ACX LinkedIn. All of it there, plus the
(31:34):
podcast library. Let's go right back to work with your
telephone calls and questions. Next up, we have Greg from
Seeking New Jersey.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Doctor Bob. This is Greg, have a Seeking New Jersey,
A yes and and no, I guess would suffice the
two different things. What is your stating what is it
supposed to do my understanding a cholesterol I don't have
a cholesterol problem, but yet I'm being given one to
(32:05):
take number two. And this is a little fyi. I
had a hip surgery done twenty years ago. The doctor
on the way out of the office says, oh, by
the way, your right leg was longer than your left
light and I straightened out for him. What he managed
to do, as a very simple remark, was to solve
(32:28):
a candy ass back that I had all my life.
I have not had a problem with my back for
twenty years. It is unbelievable that one little simple act
and comment could have solved something that I paid chiropractors doctors.
(32:49):
Chiropractor the same one treated it for twenty years. She
was treating the result, not the cause. The cause was sold,
just point of information. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
All right? Well, Greg, thank you for sharing that. Glad
to hear your victory with your that description of your back.
That was kind of kind of interesting. I'm glad to
hear that you're better. Yes, Unfortunately, the chiropractor that you
had was not doing his job. Have you had an
anatomical short leg, and had he been able to recognize that,
(33:24):
all doctors, chiropractic physicians are taught to do that. Had
he been able to or wanted to recognize that and
shore that up by using lift on one side of
that anatomical short leg, your problems would have been history. Well,
you had to go to surgery in order to get
it done, and I'm glad that at least it got resolved.
For that, I'm happy for you. Regarding the statins, Statin
(33:48):
drugs or cholestero alluring drugs inhibit a specific enzyme in
the liver that the liver uses to make cholesterol. We
make about seventy to eighty percent of our cholesterol inside
of our liver that we need for nerve function, for hormones,
for all kinds of lubrication. It's part of our cell membrane.
(34:12):
So cholesterol is not the enemy. Cholesterol is so essential. Now,
I don't know why your doctor is prescribing statins when
you don't have a cholesterol problem. Maybe he's trying to
ratchet up his prescription volumes so they can get some
tickets to a Caribbean cruise. Who knows, because nowadays doctors
(34:34):
of course do that sort of thing, not all, but
it still goes on. Statins have a big problem with
associated with them cholesterol learning drugs, especially when they have
no value. I know that the doctor might say, well,
you know, yeah, you don't have a cholesterol problem, Greg,
but you have inflammation, so we're going to lower your
(34:56):
inflammation with the statin drug. No, there are better ways
to go about all of this, uh there When you
take statin drugs in general, the side effects that they
provide are unbelievable, from muscle pain to loss of memory
to increasing your risk of diabetes. I mean the side
(35:17):
effects of statins, which is almost like a you know,
just a I'm sure there are people who have been
helped with statins, but there are ways to go about
helping people who have cholesterol problems. And you don't, even
according to what you're saying, have when maybe your daughter
doctor spotted something with your cholesterol that you're not aware of,
and I would have that conversation with your doctor about it.
(35:40):
Why doctor, if I don't have cholesterol, are you giving
me a statin?
Speaker 6 (35:45):
And if your.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Doctor says, well, it's because, oh, just because, or it's
good for you, just do what I say. Greg, might
be time for another doctor, my friend, and that'd be
some some kid consideration at least on your end. So
all in all, too many people, in my opinion, gets statins,
way too many people when safer natural alternatives can be
(36:11):
provided to deal with the real cause of high cholesterol,
which is inflammation and not the fact that the body's
putting out too much cholesterol. Yes, the body puts out
cholesterol in order to solve something, but to inhibit that
without respect to what's causing it is a failed effort.
And the drug company has figured out a way to
(36:31):
sell statin drugs by wafting the cholesterol myth onto the
stage years and years ago, and it's still going on
and it's a hard thing to reverse. But I wish
you well, Greg, and again, thank you so much for
your phone call.

topic of why it is that we can help you

over there at Instagram too, if you want to take
(05:02):
a look at it all right, and we're going to
take also your phone calls and questions on the topic
of health this hour, so stand by for that. Now
we begin with the topic of how to help you
perhaps cure your dry eyes. It's estimated that about thirty
five to seventy million Americans suffer from dry eye. Dry
(05:24):
eye results from abnormal and insufficient tears which can lead
to i irritation and ultimately inflammation in the eye. It
brings tears to my eyes to learn that so many
Americans have this problem.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Geez.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
At least two billion dollars are spent every year on
eye drops. Two billion with a bee Well, Scientists writing
in the British Medical Journal report a drug free, non
eye drop way to solve your eye drops. Listen to
this laughing, folks, laughing can be just as effective as
(06:02):
eye drops. I kid you, not laughing when it comes
to dry ice, start laughing. Laughter helps, And that's what
they have determined. This is gonna hurt the eye drop
industry when they figure out why their business has gone south,
because people are starting to laugh and when you laugh,
(06:23):
your eyes become less dry, they start producing more tears.
It's true. It's long been said that laughter is the
best medicine. Well here it is possibly even the medicine
for your eyes. Try it, you'll like it. For the study.
(06:43):
This is based on science, By the way, This is
not conjecture or some far out thing. For a study
has found that laughing can be just as effective as
eye drops when it comes to dry eyes. Researchers suggest
it could be prescribed as an all alternative treatment for
dry eyes, which causes red, itchy eyes and can effect
(07:06):
one in a lot of people. Millions of people were
impacted by this. Laughter can be linked to a host
of health problems, from easing stress to chronic pain to
strengthening the immune system. People have had chronic inflammation and
laughed themselves well, well, here's another application of laughter and humor.
(07:29):
Scientists in the United Kingdom set out to assess the
effectiveness and safety of laughter exercise in patients with symptoms
of dry eye disease. Their studies. Their scientific studies and
trials involved almost three hundred people between the ages of
(07:49):
eighteen and forty five diagnosed with the condition of dry
eye using Ocular Surface Disease Index. What it is, It's
an instrument that actually measures the dryness of the eye itself.
They either took sodium hyaluronic acid eye drops four times
(08:12):
a day for eight weeks, or they were assigned a
laughter exercise group over the same period of time and
after watching an instructional video, the laughter group were asked
to vocalize and repeat the phrases including he he he
ha haha, and cheese, cheese, cheese, that's all they had
(08:35):
to do, and they would complete this thirty times per
five minute sessions using a face recognition mobile app to
standardize the exercise and enhance facial movements that mimic laughter.
Both treatments were stopped at eight weeks, and any change
(08:57):
in the eye surface discomfort scores were measured at weeks
ten and weeks and week twelve. The average eye score
where they measured dryness of the iron lubrication of the
eye at eight weeks was ten point five points lower,
indicating less discomfort in the laughter exercise group, and only
(09:20):
eight something in lower in the eye drop group. That
is amazing, suggesting laughter, ladies and gentlemen, is more effective
scientifically for dry eyes than putting eye drops in your eyes.
It's true and the scientists have figured it out. Laughter
(09:41):
exercise also showed significant improvement in other measures of eye health,
such as moisture after blinking, oil gland function that helped
prevent tears from evaporating too quickly, and overall mental health
because they didn't have to deal with dry eyes. They
were writing in the British Medical Journal of the authors
(10:01):
of the University of Belfast and another university in China
said it could prove a cheap and effective alternative to
eye drops. They added as safe as a safe, environmentally friendly,
and low cost intervention. Laughter exercise could serve for the
first line as a home based treatment for people with
(10:22):
symptomatic dry eye disease and limited corneal straining. If you
have an aversion to laughter or just don't want to,
there are some effect of all their alternatives out there,
like lactoferrin capsules. You can get these in health food stores.
Aronea very complex can see eye drops. We've talked about
(10:42):
those in increasing your Omega three supplementation. But if you
want to get rid of dry eyes, start laughing, laugh, laugh,
laugh for less dry eyes. I'm doctor Bob Martin. All right,
(11:18):
doctor Bob Martin, back with you. I wonder how many
people based on that last segment, because I mean, the
amount of people that suffer from dry eye syndrome in
America is huge. Thirty five to seventy million Americans suffer
from dry eye and they're jamming the eye drops into
(11:40):
their eyes all day, every day, and so many of
them the drugs. I don't care if it's maurine or restasis.
They all have chemicals that go into your body through
your eye that aren't good for you. It's not good
to have dry eye either. I get that. But what
(12:01):
if you started a laughter program every day where you
found something that was funny or you just forced yourself
to laugh, and you solved your dry eye syndrome and
that eyedrops go down to drain. That would be fantastic.
And it's true, all right, always here looking out for you,
(12:22):
trying to save you some dollars here on the Doctor
Bob Martin Show. Hope you enjoyed that, and you probably
have people in your life that have dry eye. Maybe

Brevity is appreciated. The number eight hundred six zero six
eight A two two eight hundred six zero six eighty
eight two two one eight hundred six zero six eighty
eight twenty two. Here we go. First up is Irene
calling in from Fort Collins, Colorado.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Irene, Fort Talents, Colorado. My question is how do I
help my grandchildren. They've been in and out of the
hospital with respiratory problem. What kind of a new medicine
can I help them with?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Thank you you're welcome, Irene. Thank you for your phone call. Boy.
This is such a common problem. She's concerned about her grandkids,
and I want all grandparents listening to the show right
now and parents of children listening to the show to
hear what I have to say. I'm a father of
six children, so this is something that I had to
(15:53):
deal with. They're all grown up now, they all have
families and all that. They're excuse me, they're healthy and
they're will and now of course they're managing their own children.
And I'm keeping an eye on my twelve grandchildren and
my one great grandchild in the same manner.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
So this is.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
This, excuse me, this is the call to action for
any parent who's got children that are young. They get
the boogiey noses, they get the sicknesses when they come
home from school, and they get ill, and they end
up having that go from their upper respiratory system into
their lungs and so forth, and of course when it
(16:36):
gets serious, they obviously it's important to see the pediatrician,
see the doctor. But you can so often head this
stuff off safely and naturally and also prevent it. Here's
how I did it. With all six of my children.
They never saw a pediatrician their entire lives. They never
went to the hospital, never had any drugs whatsoever, all
(16:57):
six children. It's not that difficult. You make sure that
your children not drinking cow milk. Cow milk is the
number one cause of childhood illness in my opinion, and
eating sugar, junk food, and chocolate. Those are the three
biggest fenders in as it relates to children getting sick
(17:19):
giving them ice cream and cow milk. There's other alternatives
for you to consider beyond that, and their little bodies
will do just fine. So cut the dairy out, cut
the sugar in, the junk food, and the chocolate out,
and you're going to see those children get better automatically.
But children in this age, because they're finicky, they don't
(17:41):
always eat right. You know, you put the vegetables in
front of them. I fought all six of my kids
on this. Who hasn't I hated vegetables growing up, how
about you? So they fight you on the vegetables, and
you do everything you can to get them into their bodies,
knowing that those nutrients will help their immune systems stay strong,
they'll grow and you know, lengthen their body in terms
(18:05):
of height and everything and stay out of the obesity
syndrome if you feed them well. But there's also the
opportunity to give them supplements, ladies and gentlemen. Supplements are
so important to children if they are getting sick or
you don't want them to get sick. There is a
(18:27):
company that I'm aware of called Zarb zar b e
s Zarb Children's multi immune Supplement. It's tough to get children,
you know, if they're young, really young, they can't swallow
big horse pills. So this company, Zarbi's, they don't even
know me from Jason, but they're a great one because
(18:47):
they have a designed supplement just for little kids children
to keep them out of these little infections that they
get into. They have everything in the child needs, vitamin A,
vitamin C, zinc, vitamin D, which is the anti virus vitamin.
It has black elderberry which is anti viral again, so
(19:14):
there's ways to stop these children from getting ill. Irene,
I am so glad that you called into the program
today to ask this question. I wish more grandparents had
the mindset that you did in believing that, look, it's
not normal for kids to go get antibiotics. In fact,
(19:35):
I was just watching a news a news commentator interview
a medical doctor from Johns Hopkins University the other day,
doctor Marty McCarron, mdphd and what does he say. He
says that at least sixty percent of all antibiotics prescribed
(19:57):
in America are completely unnecess necessary sixty percent. So every
time your doctor prescribes your child when they go in
sick an antibiotic, at least six out of ten times
the antibiotic is completely unnecessary. I don't care if it's
for an ear infection or viral infection or bronchitis. Completely unnecessary,
(20:18):
and you are destroying that child's microbiome. You're destroying their
intestine and their immune system by giving them unnecessary antibiotics.
So you keep them off the dairy foods, the sugar,
the chocolate. You make sure they're getting hydrated, they're getting
good foods, and you give them like a supplement like
Zarbi's Children's Multiimmune Supplement. I also gave our children as well,
(20:45):
about a half a teaspoon of chiolic age garlic extract.
It's liquid. Put it in juice, coyolic age garlic extract.
All right, we're gonna come right back. You're tuned into
the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Everybody's got fay mistakes, but everybody's got a choice to make.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Everybody needs to leave the faith.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
When are you taking yours?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Mon?
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Are you info?
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Welcome or welcome back to this hour of the Doctor
Bob Martin's show. We thank you for tuning into the program,
and you want to tell other people about the program.
If you think they could benefit by tuning in, they
can simply jot down the call letters of the station
you're listening to, the frequency on the dial, whether it's
an a mr FM station, time of the day, and
pass that on too as many people as you can,
(21:44):
giving them the opportunity to tune in to hear about
all this healthy stuff we talk about week in, week out.
We will be returning to more of your phone calls
and questions on the topic of health. You heard that
last caller, I Ren from Fort Collins, Colorado, calling in
on behalf of her grandchildren. They're always sick, They're always
(22:05):
in the pediatrician's office, always getting drugged with antibiotics, and
who knows what else. When you can easily modify the
diets and give them nutritional supplementation, keep them hydrated, and
it's going to cut down and reduce their level of
(22:25):
illnesses big time, just by using the supplements and some
easy things that we talked about in the last segment.
It's true, and I have not only with my own
children put that into action all the years of my
six children, but also all of the pediatric patients that
came into my office over the many years that we
(22:49):
serve them. We'll get back to more of your phone
calls and questions very shortly, but I want to let
you also know that the health of your oral cavity
is quintessential to your overall health. What starts in the
mouth can happen other areas in other areas of the body.
For example, if you develop inflammation of the gums like gingeritis,
(23:11):
or develop peridontal disease, those simmering, low grade infections can
affect other parts of your body, including your heart. So
it's important to see your dentist. It's important to see
your dental hygienis, and it's also important for you to
floss and irrigate and use toothpaste and all that. But
it needs to be the right one. We don't want
you getting into any of the chemicals that the prototypical
(23:34):
toothpaste and mouthwash has in it. Some of the chemicals
are very harsh, they're not good for you. And I'm
often asked, well, what do you use, doctor Bob to
keep your oral health tip top I say, Spry Spry
Dental Defense System. It's accommodation of Spry toothpaste and Spry
mouth thrents. They also have Spry mint and gums. And
(23:58):
if yours uptight about seeing a dentist and hygienis as
I am, because I literally when I walk into the
dental practice, because I think I was hurt as a
child in the dental chair with fillings and drillings and
all that stuff, and oh just I start getting blood
pressure rising when I think about I want to keep
my dental health so pristine healthy that I get a
(24:21):
clean bill of health every time I go in for
a deep cleaning, maybe once a year or twice a year.
How about you, And if you want to do the same,
you will start using Spry toothpaste and Spry muthrins. It
comes in peppermint cinnamon Inspiariment. It's a plant based ingredient
in Spry toothpaste and rinse that works so well and
(24:44):
is anti cavity, anti plaque, and also anti bad news.
When you get to the dental practice, you don't want
them whispering in your ear. You need a root canal,
You need a filling today, you need a crown. Oh,
I need to extract that one. It's really bad. Get
on the Spry Dental Defense system like I did, and
you're gonna be feeling good in your oral cavity, squeaky
(25:07):
clean teeth and gums and breath. Spry Dental Defense available
at CBS right ad target, vitamin chops, sprouts, natural grossers,
or for more information go to Clear x l e
a r dot com. Clear x L e r dot com.
It's the company that also sells Clear nasal sprays. Get
(25:28):
those going this autumn and winter season. We're gonna need them.
X L e a r. Nasal spray and the Spry
Dental Defense System. All right, let's get right back to
work with your telephone calls and questions at eight hundred
six zero six eight eight two two. Next up is
(25:49):
Milton calling in from Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Milton from Bowling Green, Kentucky, and I'm interested in tonights
bringing my ears.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
All right, Milton, you are amongst millions of people who
have tenitis or tenatus ringing in the ears. It is
a very complex problem. It can be difficult to solve.
I've treated many cases of it. There's nothing in medicine
to be done for it. There's no drug, there's no
surgery for it. You can use masking devices where you
(26:26):
just put another noise in your ear to cover up
the ringing noise, maybe like you know, and some people
use static like FM noise. They just find a FM
area of the radio dial and they just have static
playing so it covers up the ringing, the incessant ringing
or buzzing or chirping, whatever noise it is. It's still
(26:47):
called tenitis or ringing in the ears, so you can
try that. Also. Acupuncture consider using acupuncture for ringing in
the ears. That has shown some good results. There's no
path to see you with this condition. It takes time too.
It's not going to be like one acupuncture treatment and done.
You may have to have a series of treatments. There's
(27:08):
also a product in the marketplace called Ringstop Ringstop by
a company by the name of Natural Care Products. That
is a homeopathic remedy that also helps people with tonitis.
Find that in health food stores like Natural Grossers and
other stores. And lastly, there's an herb called vin posaitin
(27:30):
vin posatin, or also called periwinkle. It has been used
in Europe as a smart drug for years, but it
also is excellent for ringing in the ears. So stay
away from things that cause ringing in the ears. What
are they? Well, a lot of things. Caffeine is one,
and there's about two hundred and fifty medical drugs that
(27:52):
increase the risk of ringing in the ears, from aspirin
to ibuprofen, to certain antibiotics and chemotherapy. So a lot
of medical drugs will actually cause ringing in the ears
or exacerbate it, and so does caffeine. So be careful
with that. And I appreciate your phone call, Milton. All right,
Next up is Michael from Columbia, Illinois.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Yes, doctor Bob, name is Michael, Colombia, Illinois, and never
had a health issue. Now all of a sudden, I
have high blood sugar. What are the remedies that I
can look into? As I've quit white sugar, quit potatoes,
(28:38):
quit white bread, and cut my alcohol fifty percent listening
to your show, hope I still reach it. I'm a driver.
Thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Okay, Michael, thank you for your phone call. Well you
might want to cut your drinking down just a little
bit more, how about to like maybe five Not only
would that help your blood sugar, but also reduce your
risk on the road, my friend. But you're doing some
good stuff getting off the sugar the white flour potatoes.
I don't have a problem with that as long as
it's with some protein of some sort. No issue. There's
(29:15):
also a couple of formulas, Michael, that you need to
look into for helping lower blood sugar safely naturally. One
is called blood sugar balance by Kyolic, blood sugar balance
by Coyolic, and blood sugar health, blood sugar health by
Terry naturally vitamins. Exercise is quintessential to helping blood sugar.
(29:35):
So get out of that cab every once in a
while and move about and get more exercise. Stay on
that good diet that you're on, take the supplements, and
cut down on alcohol, and if you do that, you
can say goodbye to the blood sugar problems. I'm doctor
Bob Martin.

telephone calls and questions. Next up, we have Greg from
Seeking New Jersey.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Doctor Bob. This is Greg, have a Seeking New Jersey,
A yes and and no, I guess would suffice the
two different things. What is your stating what is it
supposed to do my understanding a cholesterol I don't have
a cholesterol problem, but yet I'm being given one to
(32:05):
take number two. And this is a little fyi. I
had a hip surgery done twenty years ago. The doctor
on the way out of the office says, oh, by
the way, your right leg was longer than your left
light and I straightened out for him. What he managed
to do, as a very simple remark, was to solve
(32:28):
a candy ass back that I had all my life.
I have not had a problem with my back for
twenty years. It is unbelievable that one little simple act
and comment could have solved something that I paid chiropractors doctors.
(32:49):
Chiropractor the same one treated it for twenty years. She
was treating the result, not the cause. The cause was sold,
just point of information. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
All right? Well, Greg, thank you for sharing that. Glad
to hear your victory with your that description of your back.
That was kind of kind of interesting. I'm glad to
hear that you're better. Yes, Unfortunately, the chiropractor that you
had was not doing his job. Have you had an
anatomical short leg, and had he been able to recognize that,
(33:24):
all doctors, chiropractic physicians are taught to do that. Had
he been able to or wanted to recognize that and
shore that up by using lift on one side of
that anatomical short leg, your problems would have been history. Well,
you had to go to surgery in order to get
it done, and I'm glad that at least it got resolved.
For that, I'm happy for you. Regarding the statins, Statin
(33:48):
drugs or cholestero alluring drugs inhibit a specific enzyme in
the liver that the liver uses to make cholesterol. We
make about seventy to eighty percent of our cholesterol inside
of our liver that we need for nerve function, for hormones,
for all kinds of lubrication. It's part of our cell membrane.
(34:12):
So cholesterol is not the enemy. Cholesterol is so essential. Now,
I don't know why your doctor is prescribing statins when
you don't have a cholesterol problem. Maybe he's trying to
ratchet up his prescription volumes so they can get some
tickets to a Caribbean cruise. Who knows, because nowadays doctors
(34:34):
of course do that sort of thing, not all, but
it still goes on. Statins have a big problem with
associated with them cholesterol learning drugs, especially when they have
no value. I know that the doctor might say, well,
you know, yeah, you don't have a cholesterol problem, Greg,
but you have inflammation, so we're going to lower your
(34:56):
inflammation with the statin drug. No, there are better ways
to go about all of this, uh there When you
take statin drugs in general, the side effects that they
provide are unbelievable, from muscle pain to loss of memory
to increasing your risk of diabetes. I mean the side
(35:17):
effects of statins, which is almost like a you know,
just a I'm sure there are people who have been
helped with statins, but there are ways to go about
helping people who have cholesterol problems. And you don't, even
according to what you're saying, have when maybe your daughter
doctor spotted something with your cholesterol that you're not aware of,
and I would have that conversation with your doctor about it.
(35:40):
Why doctor, if I don't have cholesterol, are you giving
me a statin?
Speaker 6 (35:45):
And if your.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Doctor says, well, it's because, oh, just because, or it's
good for you, just do what I say. Greg, might
be time for another doctor, my friend, and that'd be
some some kid consideration at least on your end. So
all in all, too many people, in my opinion, gets statins,
way too many people when safer natural alternatives can be
(36:11):
provided to deal with the real cause of high cholesterol,
which is inflammation and not the fact that the body's
putting out too much cholesterol. Yes, the body puts out
cholesterol in order to solve something, but to inhibit that
without respect to what's causing it is a failed effort.
And the drug company has figured out a way to
(36:31):
sell statin drugs by wafting the cholesterol myth onto the
stage years and years ago, and it's still going on
and it's a hard thing to reverse. But I wish
you well, Greg, and again, thank you so much for
your phone call.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Sir.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
We'll be right back on, doctor Bob Martin.

Joe and from the state of Iowa, and I had
a question about constant sinus drainage and congest It feels
like it the drainage goes to my bronchial tubes and
then it's harder to breathe because my lungs get tight
find this stuff. I don't sneeze a lot, my eyes
(38:42):
don't water. I think in my nose has definitely got
a problem as far as I needed surgery. But I
do use the clear nasal spray. I've used it. I've
used different nasal sprays, and of course I use the
especially this there, it's a newer anti hissed to meet
(39:03):
Nasel spray, and then I used to pouticasone. It's with
the steroid that Nasel spray, and I just constantly have trouble.
I just just constantly have trouble. Got to clear my
throat all the time, and my chest and stuff. And
I thought I'd just give you a call and see
(39:24):

Speaker 2 (39:26):
Thank you all right, thank you Joe for your phone call.
Sorry that you're suffering so long with these nasal problems.
We need to start in your home with the airspace
that you're in. I want to make sure that in
your home you have clean air filters. They have electrostatic
air filters that you can purchase that do a better
(39:47):
job of trapping the particulates that float through the air
either air conditioning or the heating system of a home,
depending on what time of the year that it's running.
So you want to get these electrostatic air filters, and
also especially in the area that you're sleeping in, purchase
(40:08):
one of these four stage hepa filter systems. Put it
in the corner in the room, turn that on at
night so that you're breathing in you know, six seven,
eight hours of hours of air, clean air space. All right,
that's important. Drink more water. It's you've got to hydrate.
When you're having mucus, you probably have a fungal yeast
(40:31):
infection in your sinuses. So I'm going to ask you
to take four capsules of kyola garlic twice a day,
four capsules twice a day and NAC. Try that, Let's
see what happens. Thank you for your phone call.
