Welcome to the number one radio health talk show in America,

Academy of Anti Aging Medicine. The information presented on this
show is educational in nature. Please consult your personal healthcare
provider regarding health issues. You may have got a health

(00:32):
related problem or challenge, not feeling well, and you just
don't know where to turner what to do. Doctor Bob
Martin is here for you and will do his very
best to answer your health question. The tone free number
to ask Doctor Martin a health question or to make
a health related comment is eight hundred six oh six
eighty eight twenty two. Eight hundred six oh six eighty

(00:52):
eight twenty two. That's eight hundred six zero six eighty
eight twenty two. It's the Doctor Bob Martin itself.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
This is a place where special like minded people gather
each week to discuss issues and ask important questions related
to our most precious possession. What is that you ask, well,
it's good health. Good health. Our health is our most
precious possession. With it, we have everything, and without it.

(01:24):
We have pretty much nothing zero. I am so glad
that you decided to join us today. Welcome, Welcome, everyone
to this hour of the Doctor Bob Martin's Show. We're
going to coming up this hour get to this week's
installments of the Health Alternative of the Week, the Health

(01:45):
Outrage of the Week. We've got a product recall to
tell you about, so stick around for the entirety of
this hour. You're gonna get something out of it, for sure.
We also have a health poll question we'd love to
get your opinion of over on my website at doctor
Bob dot com, and it goes like this, are you
personally anxious or stressed out over the upcoming election results? Yes?

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Or no?

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Think about that. There was a big poll taken on
that I was shocked to see the results. I'll share
that with you once we get our polling data data.
Go to my website and vote on that over at
doctor Bob dot com. Are you stressed or anxious about
the upcoming election results? Doctor bob dot com. Also, we

(02:36):
have a Doctor Bob Martin Show Caller hotline phone number
for you to call to ask a question about your
own personal health or the health of somebody else that
you'd like to call into the show on behalf of
You can also on that same line drop off a
health related comment, maybe something you've heard on this radio show,

(02:58):
or you'd like to compliment the show host. That's a
feature that we love to lay out there. It's called
the health Stroker. So either way, the number is eight
hundred six zero six eight eight two to two. Eight
hundred six zero six eighty eight twenty two is the

(03:19):
phone number to ask your health related question or make
your health related comment. Now, before we get to the
topic I want to discuss right out of the gate
here the topic of revealed where in the world. This
is a question where in the world are the healthiest
kids located? Think about that. There are a lot of

(03:43):
places where kids are on this planet, but where are
the healthiest ones located. I'll give you a hint. It's
not in America, sadly enough. And we'll get to this
information about that very proof and evidence shortly. But I
also want to let you know that walkin Aga of America,
the makers of a wide variety of quality coyolic supplements,

(04:06):
they are overstocked, apparently with their samples that they ordered.
They gave us a call two or three weeks ago
and asked if we would like to offer free nutritional
supplements and money saving supplements. To get nutritional supplements free

(04:27):
of charge without any obligation to our listeners, and I said,
heck yes, our listeners love free stuff, so bring it.
And that's exactly what they're doing. You can receive a
free Kyolic supplement sample of either their Cardiovascular health Formula,
their Immune Support Formula, or their Stress and Fatigue Relief Formula.

(04:49):
All you do is go to their website over it
kyolic dot com Forward slash Radio. Coyolic is spelled kyl
c coyolic dot com forward slash Radio and request your
nutritional supplement and your money saving coupon, no obligation whatsoever.

(05:09):
You'll simply be asked to check a box which they
just simply want to know where you're coming from to
make sure it's valid. You're valid, and just check the
doctor Bob Martin show box. You're good to go Coyolic
dot com Forward slash Radio to get your free nutritional
supplements or money saving coupons. Fantastic stuff. Thank you, Coyolic.

(05:31):
All right, now, let's get to this information about where
in the world kids are healthiest. And before I start,
I want to let you know so I don't burst
your bubble. It's not here in America. No big surprise
to yours, truly, we've talked about it before. Here it
is African children are the healthiest in the world. African

(05:54):
children narrowly beating out those in Europe and vastly, vastly
outperforming those children in the Americas, including the United States.
Here we are a superpower, the most affluent nation on
the planet, and we can't keep our own kids healthy.

(06:16):
They're doing a better job in Africa. What's wrong with
this picture? Well. This result is from a pooled analysis
of data from thirty three different countries that examine what
proportions of children aged three to five are getting enough exercise,
getting enough sleep, and time away from computer, television or

(06:41):
smartphone screens. Youngsters in Africa had the best overall result,
with about one in four getting their recommended exercise, screen
breaks and sleep. Europe came in a close second, with

(07:01):
children reaching on the benchmark. The Americas, which include North
America countries like the US are as well as South America,
had the worst performance, with less than one in ten

(07:23):
reaching what is considered a healthy level. Children in these
regions were most mostly let down by their sedentary time,
in other words, not moving about. Children need to move about.
It's very important periods in which they sit still, watch

(07:45):
the boob tube or the babysitter, which is the screen.
And they use these measures to measure their screen time,
with only seventeen percent taking enough breaks, the lowest proportion
of any region analyzed here in the United States. In

(08:07):
other words, kids glued to those screens, those little tiny screens,
whether it's a cell phone, laptop, or whatever. I've seen them.
You've seen them. They're babysitters, coming second worst in overall performance,
where children in Southeast Asia such as Thailand and Indonesia,

(08:32):
followed by those in regions of the Western Pacific, Australia
and New Zealand. The analysis, published in the Journal of
the American Medical Association Pediatrics, was conducted by a multi
national team of experts led by those from the University
of Wollongong in Australia. They looked at data collected from

(08:57):
just over seven thousand children from thirty three nations aged
between three to almost five, which had taken between well
it is over what about at least fourteen years time
they were analyzing this stuff. Children's exercise levels were measured

(09:18):
using activity monitoring devices, while screen and sleep time was
measured by parental reports. Experts then looked to see how
many children were meeting the World Health Organization's guidelines on
Child Health per global region. For exercise, this included spending

(09:40):
at least three hours a day of physical activity, of
which one hour should be moderate to vigorous exercise such
as running around like kids in that age bracket ought
to be doing on a regular basis for a lot
of reasons. For screen time, they recommended thresholds was only

(10:01):
one hour per day, with young children also aiming to
have ten to thirteen hours of sleep. Well, if you've
got children here in the United States, they're glued to
their screen. They're little tablets, someone's cell phone watching them,
or on a laptop. They're getting a lot of screen time.

(10:22):
They're not moving about. They're getting these blue lights in
their eyes all day, every day, right up until the
time they go to bed, which stimulates them, stimulates their
little pineal gland in their brain as though they're gonna
be awake all night long, interfering with their sleep patterns.
So the takeaway here is you guessed it. Less screen time,

(10:45):
letting children go outside and move about, and they're gonna
be a whole lot better off. Let's do it. You're
tuned into the Doctor Bob Martinshow.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
Trouble you know you can there's a Bona Matis place show.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
You happen to be tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
We appreciate you being here today. We really appreciate you
telling other people about this radio show so they too
can take advantage of the information that we've put together
for you. Weekend week out. All right, we're gonna get
back to phone calls and questions in just a little bit,
but before we do that, we have for you, ladies

(11:55):
and gentlemen, this week's installment of the Health alternative of
the Week. All right, the health alternative of the week
something that you should be made aware of or reminded

(12:16):
of that could affect your health in a positive way,
maybe positioning this health alternative in place of something you're
currently doing that's not so healthy. And this week's health
alternative of the week is organic blueberries. Sounds simple enough, right, Well,

(12:39):
go out and try to find organic blueberries. Now, it
doesn't matter whether they are fresh organic blueberries. That's optimal,
but you can also get frozen organic blueberries, and when
you do that, you're gonna be assured of not getting
pesticides into your which can be very deleterious to your

(13:03):
health over the long haul as you accumulate toxins, which
can cause a number of health problems, including the Big C.
But they're so beneficial when they're organic blueberries, they're in
the news a lot lately. Blueberries contain vitamins and minerals
and antioxidants and provide noticeable health benefits big time they're

(13:25):
studying them. Still. Blueberries are also rich in a vitamin
that a lot of people need more of, vitamin K,
which helps promote heart health, bone health, and even blood clotting.
But if you're on blood thinners, you might want to
check with your doctor on that. Did you know that blueberries,

(13:46):
especially in their organic form, helps to lower cholesterol because
when you eat blueberries, it stops a process or interferes
with the process called oxidation, which is the equivalent of
slowing down rust on metal, like on iron. So eating
blueberries slows down sort of like the oxidative rust that

(14:07):
happens in the human body as we decay as we
get older. So bring on the organic blueberries as a
health alternative of the week. Now. The antioxidant in blueberries
helps prevent cholesterol from becoming oxidized, because cholesterol is not
your enemy, even though the drug companies want you to
believe that and doctors want you to believe that by

(14:29):
taking statin drugs. Cholesterol is your best friend. However, when
it becomes oxidized or it starts to rust, it's not good.
It can damage your blood vessels and your body in general.
But blueberries have the highest levels of antioxidants which counter

(14:49):
the oxidation of the cholesterol, and that's why they are
so powerful and why we are positioning them this week
as the health alternative of the week. Did you also
know that blueberries helps to lower blood pressure? Eating blueberries
every day can help reduce high blood pressure. It can
plant compounds in blueberries called antocyanidinds. They give blueberries their

(15:15):
color and are responsible for their benefit. Did you also
know that blueberries counters type two diabetes? Blueberries can help
you better manage your blood sugar levels. Studies have shown
that eating blueberries regularly can help improve insulin sensitivity in

(15:37):
people with type two diabetes, and so many people today
have insulin resistance. So start popping those organic blueberries wherever
and whenever you can find them. Additionally, you can have
better digestion. And a lot of people have digestive problems.
That's why they're popping these anti acid drugs and toms

(15:58):
and roll aids and all these rugs which have BUKU
side effects. Blueberries contain fiber, which helps your digetice system
run smoothly. You may recall I recently talked about fiber
and the benefits of fiber a couple weeks ago. If
you didn't get a chance to hear that, go back

(16:19):
in the podcast library over at doctor Bob dot com
and get a listen to that. It was extensive, very
important fiber in the diet. That's why these crazy non
fiber diets keto and otherwise why I don't agree with them,
with exception to the rule, in certain cases, over the
long haul, just one cup of blueberries is an excellent

(16:42):
source of daily recommended vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin A, manganese.
You also have protein in blueberries. Everybody thinks you got
to get protein through meat. Well, yeah, every food has
protein in it, it's just depending on the quality. Certainly,
blueberries you don't have to worry about fat there, that's

(17:03):
for sure. You got carbs there, you got fiber, it's
all there. It's a complete package. Simplest way to enjoy
your blueberries is putting them over your mourning porridge or
your mourning one hundred percent whole grain cereals, whether it
be millet or quene wa or amaranth or oatmeal or whatever,

(17:29):
it may be, one hundred percent not the stuff they
sell in the prototypical grocery store, which is nothing but sugar,
the first ingredient, second ingredient, whatever, it's all sugar. Do
not eat sugar cereals. You do have options. Find a
health food store that can provide it. You're worth it.

(17:49):
So when you put the blueberries there, you don't need
the sugar. They're naturally sweet. Of course, I add organic
blueberries to my everyday smoothie. Oh smoothies with blueberries and
some revive collagen powder. Throw a banana in there, some chlorophyll,

(18:10):
some noney juice. Oh my gosh, you're ready to start
your day. You can jump high buildings with a single
bound on that kind of a program. It's amazing. You
dump in a little bit of nut butter, a little
bit of nut milk to that. Oh so so good.

(18:31):
The natural sweetness of blueberries reduces the need to add
any sugars. You notice I didn't say any sugar anywhere
any of that, because the blueberries are your sugar. If
you want to find out where to get organic blueberries,
they are available in certain grocery stores like Natural Grocers

(18:54):
Healthy Blueberries smoothie recipes. Oh my gosh, that's an inspiration.
Just gave you that recipe momentarily, and if you missed it,
you want to play it back to yourself. You can
get to the podcast library over my website. As of
this coming week it'll be there. So whether it's fresh
organic blueberries or frozen organic blueberries, you can find them

(19:20):
at finer health and grocery stores throughout the nation. I
know that Natural Grocers sells them. You can go to
their website at naturalgrocers dot com find out more about it.
I've even seen organic blueberries at Costco. So there's no
reason to not find out about and enjoy and benefit

(19:43):
by and through the consumption of organic blueberries this week's
Health Alternative of the Week. All right, I hope you
enjoyed that segment on organic blueberries in the Health Alternative
up the Week. I want to remind you before the
end of this show. This hour, the company Walcanaga of America,

(20:09):

Speaker 3 (20:55):
Leap of faith.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
When are you taking you.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Money?

Speaker 2 (21:01):
You info you are tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
I thank you for that. I want you to also
know we have a health poll question we want to
get your opinion of because we think your opinion matters.
It's over on my website at doctor bob dot com.
Spell out the word doctor doctor bob dot com. It

(21:23):
goes like this, are you personally stressed or feeling anxious
over the upcoming election results?

Speaker 4 (21:33):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (21:34):
Or no? Vote on that at doctor Bob dot com
and we'll have the results on our next show, and
we will compare those results to a recent survey. I
think you're going to be interested in learning about I
was sort of surprised over that. We're also going to
be returning shortly to your open topic health related questions

(21:55):
or comments, and coming up will be the health outrage
of the week. So stand by first. This though, this doctor,
my entire family, all of my healthcare colleagues. We're all interested,
and I hope you are too. We're interested in avoidance
of tooth decay, avoidance of gingivitis, avoidance of peridontal disease,

(22:19):
and avoidance of bad breath. Who wouldn't be wanting all
of that? I think the average person would. Now, some
people struggle with that. We don't. We don't because we
use spry spry toothpaste and spry mouth rints and spry
mints and gum. The stuff's amazing. Now if you personally

(22:41):
get up as uptight as I do when you visit
your dental provider, which is important. Your hygienis your dentist.
Here's what I do to be my own best dental hygienist,
my own best dentist. Most of the time, I brush
my teeth with spry Spry toothpaste, I rinse my mouth

(23:04):
with Spry mouth rents, and I choose spry gum and
suck on Spry mints in delicious flavors of peppermint, cinnamon
and spearmint. Here's the secret sauce, which is really not
a secret because it's science is based on xylotol used
by millions of people. In fact, our bodies make a
very small quantity of xylotol for very good reason. But

(23:27):
they have figured out a way to put more xylatol,
a plant based ingredient, in Spry toothpaste and mouth rents
gum and mints because it has anti cavity activity, it
has anti plaque activity, and it has anti bad news activity.
The next time you're in your dental hygienester dentist's chair

(23:48):
and they're peering into your mouth and they whisper well,
I've got bad news for you. You need a filling,
you need a root canal, you need a crown, you
need an extraction ouch. No, don't get that bad advice,
the bad news. Just start on the Spry Dental Defense System,
which creates an easy and inexpensive way to have xyoligsol
throughout the day without needing to change your habits. So

(24:10):
if you want squeaky clean teeth, gums, and breath, use
the Spry Dental Defense System because that Spry is going
to trick the germs, the bacteria in the mouth, and
they're gonna be toast so that you're not. Spry Dental
Defense is available at CBS and write Aid pharmacies, Target,

(24:32):
Vitamin Shop, Sprouts, and other fine health food stores nationwide.
For more information, go to Clear that's x l e
a r dot com Clear x L e er dot
com for the Spry Dental Defense System. They're the same
makers of Clear nasal sprays. We need them this season,

(24:54):
that's for sure. My favorite is the Clear Rescue nasal
spray to stay healthy because all germs begin in the
nasal cavity. Well ninety percent Clear Rescue Nasal spray and
the spry dandal defense system. All right, it's time now,
ladies and gentlemen, for this day's this week's health alternative.

(25:18):
I'm sorry, health outrage of the week, shees. You don't
believe it. Come on Easter for the health outradge because
it's nothing, but it is outrageous. You'll be as outrageous
outraged as I am us approves more franken food. Oh boy,

(25:43):
controversial genetically modified wheat grown using dangerous neurotoxin. That's in
the news. In more bad news for the rapidly declining
health of the American diet, the US Department of Agriculture
has given its stamp of approval to genetically modified wheat.

(26:06):
And that is outrageous. We don't need genetically modified anything.
We don't need more pesticides on our food, We don't
need any of it. That's right. There is going to
be yet another franken food you'll have to go out
of your way to avoid. And when it's something as

(26:28):
ubiquitous as wheat, you're going to need some excellent label
reading skills and interpreting skills. Given how hard food companies
try to obscure the true nature of the ingredients they use.
They don't want you to know. They don't want you
to be educated. You may set it down, you may
not buy it. They lose, but you win because you're

(26:50):
not going to be ingesting a whole mouthful, whole gutfull
of pesticides. The Argentinian firm Bio Series and the French
multinational Fluorimond de Prez are behind the planet's first GM
wheat genetically modified wheat. They grow it using an agrotoxin

(27:18):
known as gluphosenate gluphosenate ammonia that is so dangerous that
the European Union has banned it. They are boasting the
HB four wheat crop has reached the US. HB four

(27:40):
technology is the only draft tolerant technology in the world,
and this new approval shows that Argentine science continues to
lead the way in finding solutions to global challenges. That's
what they say, while some inside it have suggested that

(28:01):
the wheat will still need to undergo field trials before
it makes its way to our tables. The fact that
the USDA, the United States Department of Agriculture, is willing
to place the interests of agrabusinesses over those of human

(28:22):
health of Americans does not bode well for any of us,
and that's exactly why it qualified as the health outrage
of the week. So always avoid franken foods, foods that
have been genetically modified, have genetically modified organisms in it,
because if you have that, you have a truckload of

(28:45):
pesticides that have been exposed to those plants. And when
that happens, your toxic burden builds up over time. It
won't drop you in your shoes, won't drop you in
your tracks the minute you consume it. It's cumulative over life.
And since we have already tens of thousands of chemicals

(29:07):
that are man made petrochemicals of all sorts that we're
being hit with in our food, in our water, it's
in the air, cosmetics, you don't need another one to
add on to that heap that's already challenging your health
and your longevity. That is why, Ladies and jonahen this

(29:29):
one qualified as the health outrage of the week. We'll
come back with more phone calls and your health related questions.
You're tuned into the doctor, Bob Martinshell.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
I'm a bush of number signon the one never singles today.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
All right, doctor Bob marching back with you. Thank you
so very much for tuning into the program today. We
appreciate that. And before we get to your phone calls
and your questions as we continue, we have this week's
installment of the product recall of the week. Here we go.

(30:44):
Liberty Hardware recalls a multi grip tub safety bars due
to a fall hazard. The hazard the plastic sticker grip
can become dislodged after installation on the tubs with taped walls,
making the recalled multi grip tub safety bars unusable during

(31:05):
its use, posing a fall hazard. Now, if you purchase
one of these Liberty Hardware recall multi grip tub safety bars,
take it back and get your money back. They sold
almost two hundred thousand of those babies. The recall involves
a multi grip tub safety bar sold under the brand's Peerless.

(31:29):
The incidents of injuries are many, a lot of injuries
where people fell injuring themselves and they were sold. This
particular recalled product has been sold at Ace Hardware, Home Depot, Lows, Maynards, Walmarts,
and other hardware and plumbing stores nationwide, or online at

(31:51):
Amazon dot Com somewhere between sixteen dollars and fifty five dollars.
You ask where it was manufactured. Yes, you guessed it, Jina,
that is the product. Recall the week. Let's get right
back to work with your telephone calls and open line questions.
Next up, we say hello to Cheryl in Albany, Oregon.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
Yeah, doctor Bob, I love your show. I never miss it,
but I went on it before and talked then. But
I'm calling out again. Anyway. I have cataracts and they're
getting worse. I ordered the product that you said can see,

(32:42):
and I've had them for four months. I've been afraid
to use it, but I've got to use it and
I want to use it, and I want to know
if it's too late, if it's too old. I've never
opened any of them up, and they're about, like I said,
four months old. So I called the company but they

(33:07):
won't answer. They haven't answered, So anyway, if you could
state this for me, I would appreciate it. And you know,
I don't know doctor Bob if I said my name,
it's Cheryl and I'm calling from Albany, Oregon.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Okay, Cheryl, thank you for your phone call regarding can
C eye drops cnh C eye drops. We've talked about
them before. We've had Leslie Burke from Weis's Choice Medicine
on the programs to talk about these amazing eye drops
that prevent and reverse cataracts. Now you're asking about the
whether or not the purchase that you made four months

(33:49):
ago and you haven't used it because of some apprehension,
And you shouldn't be apprehensive about using can Ce eye drops.
I use them daily. I don't want cataracts. They are safe,
they're science based. I've been using them for over twenty years,
so there's no safety concerns whatsoever. I don't know what
the concern is on your end, but you should start
using them immediately because if you're like most people, your

(34:13):
eyes are going to benefit by in big time. Now.
The good news is Cheryl that the expiration date if
you purchased them four months ago. Usually the expiration date
on the ones that I get, the ones that I
purchase and they end up on my doorstep is about
a year, so you have plenty of time to use those.
There's no expiration date now. Also, if you want to

(34:35):
get a hold of the folks over there, try sending
an email to Wise Choice Medicine. Look at their website
and there'll be an email editors there Wisechoicemedicine dot com,
Wise Choice Medicine dot com or give another call. Be patient,
they're busy a lot of people buying those eye drops.
Give them a call back, leave a message, tell them

(34:55):
doctor Bob said to call. Their number is eight hundred
eight four nine three six eight hundred eighty six one
four nine three six for can see eye drops by
Wise's Choice Medicine. Excuse me, and again thank you for
your phone call. Now, before we get to the next call,

(35:19):
I want to read from an email that came into
my website at doctor Bob dot com. This person didn't
want to call into the program, just sent an email
and you can do that too through the site. There's
a place to do that. This is Gary from the
state of Nevada, and he writes, my daughter is a
senior at the University of Nevada Reno and got sick.

(35:43):
Her doctor from the Blue Cross insurance said, has she
had a gall bladder problem? They took it out. She's
been sick ever since twenty two years of age. Wow,
and now she's sick and wants to know what to
do she's gaining weight well, First of all, she needs
to be taking bioplasma tablets, which are little homeopathic remedies.

(36:07):
Anybody who's lost their gallbladder needs to be on this
to suffice for what the gallbladder did. Bioplasma to compensate
for the lost gallbladder. Next, she needs to have her
thyroid gland checked. And if she wants to lose weight,
because she's apparently gaining weight now, there's an amazing program
called Sculpt Sculpt Sculpt for weight Loss. You can find

(36:32):
it over at the Root Brands dot com forward slash
doctor Bob Broot Brands dot com forward slash doctor Bob.
We'll be right back, all right, doctor Bob Martin back

fantastic and functioning fantastic, I love to hear that. But
if you're not, we'll hear from you or somebody else
that you care to call into the show on behalf
of or if you just want to comment on something
you've heard here on the show, you can do that.
Our toll free number nationwide is eight hundred six zero
six eight eight two two eight hundred six zero six

(37:44):
eight eight two to two. In the website doctor Bob
dot com spell out door doctor and there you have
a lot to consider. There's a health poll question over there.
We'd love to get your opinion of today. Now we're
going to forego the health mystery of the week because
we just want to get another caller in before the
end of the hour. Here is Pat calling in from

(38:06):
the state of Tennessee.

Speaker 5 (38:07):
My name is Pat Tennessee. I've been getting injections of
a astin for a diabetic into my eyeballs for the
last two years. I've been a diabetic for fifteen years,
never touch medicine, and I was wondering, I'm doing everything
that I think is healthy, and I steal a problem

(38:30):
getting my sugar down and trying to get away from
a vasten injections.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
Thank you, Okay, Pat, thank you for your phone call. Well,
first of all, have asten injections you know one of
the side effects with your trouble getting your blood sugar
down of asten is approved to treat I don't know
if you know. This treat metastatic colon rectal cancer. That's

(38:54):
used as a chemotherapy adjutant because of its anti angiogenesis properties,
which stops the formation of new blood vessels, which that's
why your eye doctor is giving that to you. But
high blood sugar is a possible side effect of taking
av astin, so that may be the reason why you're

(39:14):
not able to get your blood sugar down. Other symptoms
that people experience potentially that take avastin is increased appetite,
increase thirst, increased urination, and weakness. Those are all symptoms
of diabetes. Your eye doctor is trying to reduce your
blood vessel formation in the case of maybe age related

(39:35):
macular degeneration or glockoma or some type of an iris problem.
But a quick recipe for you would be walk at
a fast pace one to three miles. This is for
your blood sugar. Walk at a fast pace for one
to three miles. Do resistance exercise twice weekly for about
thirty to forty five minutes. Take two tablespoons of brag

(39:57):
apple cider vinegar prior to each meal, two tablespoons of
brag apple side of vinegar before each meal, and take
the following supplements kyolic blood sugar balance and sue control
by Terry naturally vitamins. Those two should lower your blood sugar.
Keep monitoring your blood sugar so that your doctor knows

(40:19):
what's going on. And also, by the way, Omega three
fatty acids help as well. So you have a lot
to do there, Pat, But I'm glad you called into
the program. All right, ladies, don't make it a healthy
day and a healthy week. You've been listening to the
Doctor Bob Martin show, Be Well,
