or you can go to Radioamerica dot com podcast as
well there. Either way, everybody wins. All right, We're going
to begin this hour with some frightening information from a
top medical doctor, a top women's medical provider who would
never ever have a mammogram.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
And I know that it's going to shock a lot.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Of women who believe that it's the end all to
have a mammogram. And there's no question whatsoever that we
have to admit that mammograms have saved lives in terms
of finding a serious cancer and intervening on the behalf
of the pay and extending the life spent in there's

(04:03):
no question about that. But this medical doctor, who will
never have a mammogram herself, has good reason to believe
this she says, the truth and nothing but the truth
is what it's all about. Professor Susan Beulee, she says,

(04:25):
I would go as far as to say that women
are being lied to about the benefits of breast screening
mammograms and not being told all about the real risks.
She says, I know that me saying this will cause
understandable worry for many women reading this or in this case,

(04:49):
listening to it. It is natural, after all, to fear
this disease and to assume that the promise of early
detection can offer a better chance for a longer life
and better health. But she says, having examined all the evidence,

(05:09):
all the medical evidence, all the scientific proof behind mammograms,
with increasing doubts, I know that it does not. It
does not help improve survival or anything else. In fact,
just the opposite. And that's exactly why she won't have
as a medical professor, will will not have a mammogram herself.

(05:33):
And she goes on to explain, but also she says,
you got to decide for yourself. Nobody's gonna make that
decision for you. We certainly hear on the Doctor Bob
Martin Show, do not recommend against. I mean, you have
to make that call. If you have a mammogram, that's
your choice. If you choose not to, that's also your choice.

(05:53):
I support it either way, but I want you to
know there's options. There's alternatives, which I will get to now.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
This doctor is a sixty six year.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Old physician and have she's spent her entire career dedicated
to women's health and evidence based medicine. She says, I
also have a family history of breast cancer. My sister
found a cancer slump in her mid forties nearly twenty
years ago. My aunt and grandmother were both diagnosed with

(06:24):
breast cancer. So it's fair to say I am terrified,
she says, of getting the disease myself. But she goes
on to say I'll never have a screening mammogram. I
never will. And here's the unpalatable truth. They won't tell you,

(06:45):
according to her. According to this professor, by refusing a mammogram,
I'm reducing my risks of being diagnosed with breast cancer
by one third, a statistic which is backed by multiple studies.
So in other which, what she's saying basically is that

(07:07):
by her as a doctor, as a female, in her
mid sixties. By refusing to have a mammogram, she is
reducing her risk of breast cancer by one third, a
statistic which is backed by multiple medical scientific studies that

(07:28):
the average consumer will never ever hear about or be
stated in, you know, in a visit to a doctor's office.
Is just not because there's a ton of money in
cancer treatment, folks. There's a ton of money in diagnostics
of cancer. And if you don't believe that's big business,

(07:49):
there's a lot of nativity going on. She goes on
to say, what we know about mammogram screening is that
it often picks up early cancer which will naturally disappear
by themselves or never cause any symptoms whatsoever. For example,
around twenty five percent of breast cancers picked up from

(08:14):
a mammogram screening are classified as dcis ductyl carcinoma in situ,
which means the cancer cells are confined to the milk ducts.
Research suggests as many as eighty percent of these may
go away on their own without invading breast tissue, but

(08:38):
once spotted on an X ray, doctors can tell can't
yet tell who will become the which one of these
cells or which one of these people who have had
these mammograms will become a problem and who will not,
so they have to devise a plan to treat them all.

(09:00):
In other words, it's one of those one size fits all.
The minute something is spotted, and if it happens to
be eighty percent in that eighty percent tile of those
ducks that are calcified or has something that's already the
body's already going away.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
And you know once.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
I can confirm this because I was at a symposium
once and there was a Harvard medical doctor who's a
keynote speaker, and he reminded us all that most of
us in a lifetime, we're going to get cancer to
some degree. I think it's like one out of two
women and one out of three men are going to

(09:39):
have some If you live long enough, you're going to
get some form of cancer. And that we all face
malagna cancer about ten times in our lifetime, and.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Our bodies usually get over it.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
But if we're in the middle of a divorce or
we've got, you know, some psychological or emotional thing going on,
when the immune system is trying to recover, or we're
not getting enough sleep, we're not getting the right nutrients,
et cetera. Yeah, these things can be very problematic. But
in this case, this doctor, this professor has all the
evidence to suggest you know what not to do, and

(10:14):
she says mammograms are one of them. Now, you shouldn't
just leave yourself twisting in the wind. If you want
to monitor your breast health, there other ways to do it,
through ultrasounds, through thermography, and then you always hold back
for maybe a mammogram. So no, and you know, breast palpitation.

(10:35):
All of that is important. And of course living a
healthy lifestyle, not drinking excess of alcohol, not smoking cigarettes,
eating a good healthy diet that's not the standard American diet.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
These are all ways you reduce your risk of breast cancer.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Mammograms will impart enough ionizing radiation to your breast to
increase the disease. All right, we're gonna go to your
phone calls after this.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Stay with us. It's the doctor Bob Marchin show.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
I must stay conscious.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
Through the maness and case. So I call on my
angels a say, oh it's a little do dout it,
do doubt it. Victory is in your way. You know it,
you know it, and you will believe it just fine.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Just fine, all right.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
Welcome and welcome back to the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Appreciate you tuning into the program today. Now, that first segment,
I talked about Professor Susan Bruley, who is a top
women's doctor, stating that she will never and has never

(11:52):
had a mammogram because she says this science does not
support the need to do it.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
In fact, it's in her opinion.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
Not necessary, even though she has a history of breast
cancer family and she has good evidence. She says, the
evidence is there, but it's never stated, and it's she believes,
is the one size fits all deal, meaning that the
research shows that as many as eighty percent of these

(12:22):
breast cancers will go away on their own. But what
happens is the minute a doctor sees anything in a mammogran,
they immediately intervene and a lot of unnecessary breast surgery,
chemo and everything else goes forward.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
And I want you.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
To know, I am not here to tell you not
to get a mammogram. I would never do that. That's
a choice you will have to make, but do make
it based on the evidence.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
And according to doctor Susan Bruley, b e W L
E Y.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Really, she says, look at the evidence. The evidence doesn't
support it, and that's her opinion of that. I've heard
this before. This is nothing new. We've talked about this
on this program before. Now you might say, well, how
does one monitor Well, there are other ways to monitor
breast health.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
In the shower, you do self palpation.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
You make sure that you're not doing things that increase
your risk of breast cancer.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
What's that?

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Drinking alcohol is one of them, right at the very
top of the list.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Alcohol and breast cancer has to be there.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
Smoking, eating the standard American high fat diet, Yeah, that's
right at the top as well. It's a risk factor
and there are a lot of other risk factors as well.
But that's a good starting point because if you value
your breast, you'll do everything you can to take care
of you know. It's amazing how we read the warranty

(13:59):
on our car. There's these brand new cars we pop
for about thirty five forty fifty thousand dollars for We'll
read that, you know that the way that to take
care of that car.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
We want to make sure we do everything we can
for the but boy, when it comes to the human health,
we wait until stuff breaks before we fix it, or
we get a test that we know nothing about because
our doctors say it's safe and effective. Get a mammogram, Well,
there are options, just so you know. You can get
a breast ultrasound, you can all I'm a big fan

(14:32):
of thermography.

Speaker 5 (14:34):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
It has no ionizing radiation that helps to spot hotspots
of inflammation. It's amazing And I've used thermography in my
practice for years.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
And years and years.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
And if there's something suspicious, you can move to ultrasound,
and if there's something specious beyond that, you can always
get a mammogram. But when you get the mammogram and
you're spotted in a typical conventional medical setting, prepared, you're
in the crosshairs of now full court medical press.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
And eighty percent of the.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
Time it's gonna be unnecessary because eighty percent of the
time they will go away on their own the lesions.
But again, don't believe me. We leave this top medical doctor,
doctor or Professor Susan Booley b E W L E Y.
All right, We're gonna go to your telephone calls and questions,
now health questions or comments are available on our toll

(15:28):
free nationwide number at eight hundred six zero six eight
eight two two eight hundred six zero six eight eight
two two in the website course for all things health related,
and obviously you can follow me on the social media
platforms Instagram, x and LinkedIn, and then you have the
podcast library over there at doctor Bob dot com doctor

(15:51):
bob dot com spelling out the word doctor all right.
First up on the Doctor Bob Martin Show caller hotline
questions is Lyle In from Noblesville, Indiana.

Speaker 6 (16:02):
Lyle, Noblesville, Indiana. I would like to know I appreciate
your show. I listened to it very regularly. Celtium by
carbon ammonium by carbonate? Is that safe to eat? I'll
listen on the radio for the answer. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
All right, Lyle, Thank you for your phone call. Glad
you brought it up. Well.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
First of all, the substance ammonium by carbonate that you
bring up is used in baking products. In fact, you
might find it listed as one of the ingredients sometimes
in cookies, crackers. I don't know why they put that
in there. By the way, these food chemists always amaze me,

(16:47):
how they throw the kitchen sink in, and if we
were in another country like Europe, they probably would discount
it get rid of it. They don't tolerate that as
much as we do. But I can tell you this
that that same substance that you just mentioned, ammonium by carbonate,
it's used as an effective pesticide that we do know,
or a bug killer, and it's also used in fire extinguishers.

(17:14):
God only knows why, but they do so. I guess
it depends on what you consider safe. I would personally
avoid it whenever possible, But I'm glad you brought it
up because now people are going to be reading their
label Lyle looking for that all weirded out ammonium by
carbonate because they don't want to eat pesticide. The same

(17:37):
ingredient goes into pesticides, or the same ingredient goes into
fire extinguishers.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
That's for sure, all right.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
Next up, we say hello to Rudy in Summer's Point,
New Jersey.

Speaker 5 (17:50):
My name is Rudy Summer's Point, New Jersey. My question
is about getting rid of Poe Nail. I cannot do
the lamisol tablets because they have horrible side effects. Rash
et cetera. Oh that's my issue.

Speaker 6 (18:11):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
Okay, Well that question comes up frequently on the show,
but I appreciate your phone call, Rudy. It is really
problematic and very annoying. I mean, having toenail fungus is
not going to be a game stopper. It's not going
to be a life threatening thing, but it can really
I mean, it's so insightly, and I know a lot

(18:34):
of people will try to cover it up, especially women,
will cover it up with a nail polish, or they'll
put a sock on.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Or they'll put a shoe on or something like that.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
But it also when you have this fungus, it lifts
the nail up and it can be very very painful. Now,
when you have toenail fungus, you say, well, I wonder
what how did.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
I get that?

Speaker 3 (18:55):
Well, normally it's because something became imbalanced in your body.
It could have started with a round of antibiotics a
while ago, or maybe some other drug like a steroid,
or had you were sick and your body's immune system
went down, and now all of a sudden, the bad bacteria,
the fungus and so forth got out of control, and

(19:18):
now it's found a place to live and to survive,
and harbor, which is a perfect place because it's nice
and moist, it's dark, and it gets all what it
needs underneath the nails. But remember, you're never going to
solve the problem unless you attempt to solve it systemically,
which means whole body. You just can't go to the toenail,

(19:39):
rip it off and solve it because it's throughout your
whole body. It just finds the nail beds as a
survival point. That's where you notice it, but it's throughout
your whole body, and that's how you have to approach it.
To do so, I would suggest you take something called
chiolic aged garlic extract. Fungus hates garlic. Yes, eat a

(20:00):
of garlic, but also take it in a concentrated liquid
form called chiolic age garlic extract. You can get any
health food store. Also, a reganol works, which is a
regan ol oil. You must replant the good bacteria in
the gut called doctor Ohiras probiotics. That's the supplement to
solve that. I have my fungal challenge. Patients drink potty

(20:24):
arch otea like three cups a day and take something
called caprillic acid. Now from a topical vantage point, Rudy,
put t tree oil right on top of the area
and try to get it underneath the nail bed is
stuff it up in there as far as you can t.
Tree oil also called oil moluca. Remember what feeds fungus

(20:45):
is sugar, dairy and fermented products.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Keep those feet.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
Dry coming out of the shower by using a hair
dryer underneath the nail All right, good call, Rudy appreciated.
We'll be right back latest Toto stay two and it's
the Doctor Bob Martin Show.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Are you waiting for the right excuse? Are you waiting
for site and choose? Why are you waiting? It's the time?

Speaker 6 (21:10):
Is sp five?

Speaker 5 (21:22):
Fine? Type phe.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Mon?

Speaker 2 (21:27):
Are you infu.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
Hi? Welcome you back to this hour of the Doctor
Bob Martin Show. Appreciate you tuning into the program today
and telling others to the very same thing. We are
in a marathon Doctor Bob Martin Show. Call her hotline
where we are answering questions on the topic of health
and you can participate in the show by calling our

(21:52):
tot free number yourself and asking your question one eight
hundred six zero six eighty eight too. Before we get
back to more of your phone calls and questions, I
want to remind you how important oral health is.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
I know, we do.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
You know we exercise, it's important. Exercise, of course, that's
quint essential. Where it's told to have a positive metal
attitude good PMA, because a good PMA helps you with
your health and a negative attitude will definitely take you down.
Research shows that bears that out. We know how important

(22:29):
diet is. All these things are important, but often we
lose sight of how important everything begins right there in
the oral cavity of your mouth. If you don't take
good care of your teeth and gums. With good oral health,
you can develop well everything from tooth decay to gingervitis
to peridonal disease, and of course bad breath is also

(22:49):
associated with.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Poor dental health.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
Now, I personally don't like to use any of the
big box commercial toothpaste because long ago I started eating
the labels of these toothpaste, the ones that you know
foam up in your mouth like it's exploding, and you
read the label and you can't understand what these chemicals

(23:13):
are on the label, And then you do some research
and you go, oh, yuck, sodium laural sulfate, propylene glycol.
That's the same stuff they put.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
In ana freeze. No thank you.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
I think I'm going to try to find something cleaner, safer, effective,
science based, and sure enough I find the Spry Spry
Dental Defense System. It's made up of tooth based mouth rents.
You can also use gum and mints. Write it down,
Spry Spry kick that commercial toothpaste to the curb that

(23:48):
you have if you have it, Cress Colgate therapm. It
doesn't matter what it is. It full of those chemicals
you don't eat or want. But more important than that,
Spry is special. Beyond the fact that it is the
cleanest dental program I've ever found, and it's the most effective.
I get uptight just thinking about going to a dental provider.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
How about you.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
I want my hygienist and denis to be impressed when
I'm there for my maintenance deep clean maybe once or
twice a year, and when they look in my mouth,
I'm gonna let them know then I have that I
use the Spry Dental Defense System. By the way, it
comes in three different flavors. Peppermints, cinnamon spearmitt. The secret
sauce that makes it work so well is the xylotol.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
It's used by millions of people now.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Xylotol, by the way, is a plant based ingredient in
the Spry toothpaste, Spry mouth rints, gom and mints. It's
anti cavity, anti plaque, and anti bad news. The next
time you hit the dental practice, they'll be impressed. Spray
Dental Defense creates an easy and inexpensive way to have
xylotol throughout the day without needing to change your habits.

(25:02):
If you want squeaky clean teeth and gums and breath,
use Spry Spry Dental Defense. Spray Dental Defense is available
at CBS and write Aid Pharmacies, Target Vitamin Shop, sprouts
at all natural grocery stores, or you can go directly
to the company over it Clear that's x L e

(25:23):
a R dot com define the Spry Dental Defense System.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
They're the same.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Makers of Clear nasal sprays, which I also use. All right, now,
let's get back to work with your telephone calls and questions.
Next up, we say hello to Victoria in Sedona, Arizona.

Speaker 7 (25:44):
Victoria, Sedona, Arizona. My question is about pancreatic ensomatic insufficiency.
How do you counter it? How do you try to
change it? How do you improve your health if you
think you've have that, which I think I do. Yeah,
I'd appreciate an answer, but I can't get your radio
show in Sodona. I'm limited with AI. You know, I'm

(26:08):
not a technology type person, so I don't have a
good connection. So I hope you can answer me back
more directly.

Speaker 5 (26:15):
Please.

Speaker 7 (26:16):
I just don't do AI or you know, computers, etc.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Okay, Victoria, he's so sweet. The lady is so sweet. Absolutely, Victoria,
glad you called.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
You can actually have an assessment via your blood to
find out if you have pancreatic insufficiency. But most people
who have pancreatic infufficiency have trouble with bloating, or they
have some digestive issue, or.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
You may not have any symptoms whatsoever.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
You don't want to wait for the symptom to show
symptoms of the very last thing to show up on anything,
whether it be pancretic insufficiency or a toothache.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
So we don't want to always go by that.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
But having screening blood tests just a good comprehensive metabolic
panel will usually pick up and then specialty tests beyond
that can be run to hone in on whether or
not it's there. But if you're interested in having a
healthier pancreas, the thing is you want to destress it

(27:16):
by not making it work so hard.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
How do you do that?

Speaker 3 (27:19):
Well, you make sure that because as we get older,
we make less enzymes. It takes a lot more effort
to have the human body break down foods and sugars
and fats and everything else. Because we get older, everything
starts to wear down. The only thing we have more
of is we age, is more gas. So with the pancreas,

(27:43):
the way that you help preserve its health is you
eat more raw.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Foods, So more raw foods.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Chewing your food better, eating a more of a Mediterranean
style diet.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Would be the way to go. That's how I would
console you.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
But again, if you want to check it out from
an objective standpoint, you can go to any doctor and say, look,
I have the following inclination that I have pancred against efficiency.
Could you please give me a comprehensive metabolic check to
make sure And they will and if they spot anything
that's unusual.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
They can do additional.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
Tests beyond that, not just blood, but they can do
even ultrasounds and other things. The ct an know all
kinds of deal, all kinds of objective tests to find
out what could be going on.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
Meanwhile, you can get out in front of it. Now.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
There are also enzymes that you can take for pancred
against efficiency that you can find in health food stores.
In fact, one of them would be a great choice.
If you have it and we don't know that you
have it, you don't want to believe you have it
until you've.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
Proved it out.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
You can take something called vascular defense. It's an enzyme
product Vascular Defense over at sunnutrition dot com. But that's
the key, all right. So I appreciate your phone call in.
That's definitely a different question, but I'm glad we answered
it today. Now as you hear, ladies and gentlemen, these
are people who are listening to the program and they're

(29:11):
going to their telephone and they're picking it up and
they're calling our eight hundred number. And you can too,
remember the only the only bad health question is the
one you're not asking. We want to hear from you.
If you're in distress. If you're having a health related
issue you need help, I'm here for you and I'll

(29:31):
do my best to help you out. It's that straightforward.
That's what this show is dedicated to. It's what it's
all about.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
And we're going to get right back to work with more.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
Of your questions on the topic of health after this break.
Our number again eight hundred six zero six eight eight.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
Two to two.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
Go over there right now and call doctor Bob tell
me where it hurts eight hundred six zero six eighty
eight twenty two or the website doctor Bob.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Dot com spelling out the work doctor. We'll be right back.

Speaker 4 (30:07):
So you sorry, I'm a bush of numbake Simon the
one ever single days an I'm gonna stop a lot today.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
I welcome you, or welcome you back to this hour
of the Doctor Bob Martin Show. Appreciate you tuning into
the program now. You'll definitely want to stick around because
a little bit later in the show, I'm gonna be
talking about people who take allergy medicines. Allergy medications are
allergy drugs for everything from hay fever to allergic ryanidis, ragweed,

(31:03):
environmental allergies.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
You know, you're.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
Sneezing and it's coming up allergy seasons, you know, not
far away, It isn't. And this is when things start
to unfold. People start to notice that their nose gets
a little drippy, they start to sneeze, they start to wheeze,
they start to cough. They head to the drug store

(31:27):
or they go online they restock their antihistamines. Oh boy,
that's when things start to get out of control here.
It is, folks. Popular over the counter allergy drugs could
raise your risk of dementia, the worst of which is
Alzheimer's disease. Now, why on earth would anyone want to

(31:50):
take a class of drugs for allergies only to trade
that off for brain disease in the form of dementia
all Zeimer's disease. Because these over the counter allergy drugs
that you just add. Fifty percent of adults in the
US take antihistamine drugs, but I dare say not a
whole lot of them. Know there's some relationship between that

(32:11):
drug class and their risk of developing dementia or Alzheimer's disease,
a higher risk than if you didn't take it. A
Harvard University expert is warning those with allergies to consider
alternatives to antihistamine drugs over the counter or prescription, following
research linking the popular drug class to raising.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
The risk of dementia.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
Writing in the prestigious university's website, a top scientist told
of studies suggesting the over the counter drugs these antihistamines
interfere with a protective chemical in the brain that can
ward off the disease. And if you're taking the antihistamines,
you are disarming that and you're asking for trouble long term.

(32:58):
We'll get into that later in the show. You won't
want to miss it, especially if you or you know
somebody who has allergies and uses these antahistamine drugs. And
when I was young, I was fed those things like
M and M's because I had terrible allergies. Of course
we didn't know that back then. My parents didn't realize that.
All they wanted to do is shut the spigot off

(33:19):
on my nose so.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
I wouldn't suffer as much. All Right, I digress.

Speaker 3 (33:24):
All right, let's get back to work with your telephone
calls and questions once again. Next up, we say hello
to lovon in Tempe, Arizona.

Speaker 8 (33:30):
H right, doctor Bob Love his show. My name is
Levon from Tempe, Arizona. I have a question about my
cholesterol numbers. They are a bit mixed. My total cholesterol
is two twenty three tryglyseriche and one oh one cholesterol
hd L ratio three point zero, HDL is seventy five

(33:56):
and the non HDL cholesterol one forty eight and my
LDL one twenty eight and VLDL is twenty I've been
taking a supplement from Stop Aging now called Cholesterol three
sixty ultra since May of twenty two, and those, you know,

(34:19):
a couple numbers are range and I was just wondering
if you had a better solution. I would appreciate any
information you can give me about that.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
Okay, Levin, thank you so much for your phone call.
That's a really good question. It's going to help a
lot of other people better understand this subject. It looks
like whatever you're doing is working. By the way, your
numbers look good to me. They look optimal. Trigglyceride one
on one, I bet you you could put that up
against your doctors triglysrides. I'll bet you you you'd win
out that one. Your cholesterol at two twenty three. I'm

(34:54):
not worried about that people have heart attacks with perfect
cholesterol at one fifty. It's not about cholester We got
to get away from this big myth that the pharmaceutical
companies want us to believe that cholesterol is the enemy.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
It's not the enemy. We couldn't live without its every
It's in every.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
Cell of your body. You make seventy to eighty percent
of it. It's important for your reproductive system, your brain,
the cellular part of your body.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
No, you have to have cholesterol. It's not the problem.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
And your cholesterol HDL ratio at three point zero is optimal,
in fact, better than optimal. My suggestion is the next
time you get a blood test, ask your doctor to
perform other more definitive cardiovascular risk factor tests. They include
and write these down Levin so that you can ask

(35:41):
your doctor to do this.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
Request it.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
If your doctor won't do it, fire your doctor and
get a new doctor. Okay, here are the tests that
really matter, because you're what you've told me with your
living panel looks perfect to me. But we want to
know about inflammation. That's the smoking gun. We need to
know more about, not your cholesterol one. You want to
ask your doctor to do ApoB ApoB apo lightbolprotein B.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
That's what you want.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
You want to also have your doctor run a test
called homocysteine homocysteine, next, cardio sensitive C reactive protein, cardio
sensitive C reactive protein. And lastly I would ask the
doctor to also run a fibrinagen test. They'll know what
these are and they're easy to run. There are already

(36:29):
drawing bloods, so let's just get the right ones this
time instead of get a blood test that's based on
the pharmaceutical company dictating to sell their products, as in
the toxic, neurotoxic brain, toxic statin drugs, liver, toxic, you
name it. Those drugs are just bad news. In my opinion, Lebon,

(36:54):
thank you again for your phone call. Good health to you,
ladies and gentlemen. Stand by you're tuned into the Doctor
Bob Martin Show.

Speaker 4 (37:02):
I'm gonna stand by you.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Because I.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
And a happy and healthy Welcome or welcome back to
the final segment of this hour. But don't go anywhere,
because next hour we're gonna talk about a popular over
the counter allergy drug that could raise the risk of dementias.
Including Alzheimer's disease. If you know anybody who takes antihistamine
drugs to stop that drippy, runny, sneezy nose of yours, oh,

(37:44):
you'll definitely want to hear about what Harvard University experts
are warning people about these allergy drugs and what they
can create. Oh my gosh, this is scary stuff. But
we're not here to scare you. We're here to inform
you because wouldn't you want to know if if it's
a trade off for you that you can stop the
drippy running nose, but yet it'll generate or increase your

(38:06):
risk of dementia? Is that a good trade off? I
say no, but you'll have to make that call your choice.
That's coming up. Don't go anywhere now. Also, if you're
just tuning into the program. First hour of the program,
we talked about the bombshell Yale COVID vaccine study issuing
major warnings about COVID shots. Finally they're getting honest over

(38:30):
at Yale. Of course, it's probably due to Robert F.
Kennedy Junior getting into HHS there, and we're glad that
Yale is coming around. Hopefully the other schools will too
that got duped by the pharmaceutical companies. All right, let's
even get another phone call before the end of the hour.
Here is Tony in Big Springs, Texas.

Speaker 5 (38:49):
Hi, doctor Bob, thanks for having this show on the
ability to call in. And I do have a little
bit of as issue. My name is Tony and I'm
calling some Big Spring, Texas. I'm about a sixty three
year old mail and I had I just I don't know.
My hands they got tingling, and I'm and they've been hurting.

(39:14):
It keeps me up at night and I don't know
if it's Arthur Rabbis. I've been taking from the practicing.
That's about it, and but it's not really getting any better.
So I was wondering maybe if you had an idea,
you could, you know, point me in a direction. And
I'm gonna go ahead and hang up. And I listened

(39:35):
to the radio. Maybe I'll get on today. Anyways, thanks
again for all you do, and.

Speaker 3 (39:43):
All right, Tony, thank you for your phone call. Tony.
It could be a number of things, but the first
and the most common thing for tingling and numbness in
hands both hands, bilateral is most likely a structural problem.
Some biomechanical problem associated with your love or neck up
or back. So the doctor of choice for you is

(40:05):
to see a chiropractic physician to have an exam, an
orthopedic neurologic exam, probably an X ray and maybe even
an MRI because it could be involved with your discs.
There could be some disk encroachment, there could be some
type of stenosis involved. You'd want to know that and
then to find out if treatment is required at that point.

(40:27):
Now there are other things like neuropathy and other things
that could be but the doctor of chiropractic will be
able to figure that out. The NAP person is, you know,
an anti inflammatory drug. It's not helping, but I'll tell
you what. That drug over time puts your risk of
heart attack.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
Up, so you might want to rethink that one.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
See a chiropract or Tony asap and good health to you,
and again thank you for your phone call. Ladies and
gentleman stick around. You're tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
