hour of the Doctor Bob Martchin Show. I'm Doctor Bob
and I'm here with executive producer and co host of
(01:42):
the show, doctor Adam Brockman. If I had to read
his CV, we'd be here all day. We wouldn't get
anything done. Just know that he has two doctorates, He's
treated thousands and thousands of patients over a seventeen year
period of time. Doctor Brockman. Welcome to the program as well, sir, Hello,
Doctor Bob.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
How are you doing?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I'm doing well. I wanted to start out this hour
talking about tattoos, but before I do that, I want
to disclose that I might have a built in bias
against tattoos. I am not inked in any manner whatsoever
that I know of, unless somebody put a tattoo on
my body that I don't know where they put it
and I can't see it while I was sleeping or
(02:21):
passed out. But I am not inked. Are you ink
Do you have any tattoos? On your body before a
full disclosure to our audience before we get rolling on
this topic of experts discovered people with tattoos have a
double double the risk of deadly cancer. Sorry, if you
have any tattoos, doctor Brockman.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Doctor Bob. I do and has some meaning to it.
It has a story of my kids and whatnot. So
they you know, it's like anything else. There's risk with everything,
isn't there.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yes, there is. And okay, we got that out of
the way. I'm glad. All right, So let's get into
this a little bit because people might be interested, especially
if people are on the fence of getting a first
tattoo or getting another tattoo, or maybe after they hear this,
they want to have those tattoos extracted from their bodies.
(03:12):
Getting a tattoo could nearly triple your risk of certain cancers.
A fascinating study has come out on thousands of people.
That's what they suggest. It's not what I'm saying. Yes,
I guess I have a well, my canvas is clean,
all right, I'm bragging. I'm not bragging. I'm not complaining.
I'm just telling you. I'm telling you the news. Danish
(03:33):
and Finnish scientists analyzed data from over two thousand twins
comparing cancer rates in those who inked up, and they
don't say how much ink they got, but they just
said inked up with tattoos versus those that didn't have
a single tattoo. They found participants with any tattoo, we're
(03:57):
up to sixty two percent more likely to be diagnosed
with skin cancer. But for those with body art larger
than a palm of their hand, the risk of skin
cancer increased by one hundred and thirty seven percent, and
for lymphoma, which is a form of cancer a type
(04:19):
of blood cancer, the risk soared to one hundred and
seventy three percent. Of those who were tatted who or
had tattoos now. The researcher said their findings were concerning
given the rising popularity of tattoos. It's exploded. You can't
go down the street without finding a tattoo parlor today,
(04:40):
that's for sure. Particularly among younger generations, are getting these things.
Surveys estimated that about one in three people in the
US now have at least one tattoo. That would include you.
Doctor Brockmann and the authors said tattoos may increase cancer
in due to the ink entering the blood stream and
(05:03):
accumulating in the lymph nodes glands that are a vital
part of the body's immune system. So apparently, when you
get a tattoo, you are dirtying up your blood stream
and then it goes to your lymph system, which is
where a lot of your immune system resides, and then
(05:23):
you're polluting it and things start to circle the drain.
The dies could trigger chronic inflammation, leading to abnormal cell
growth and an increased risk of cancer. Professor Hendrik Fredrickson,
an expert in blood disorders from the University of Southern
Denmark and one of the study authors, explained, and I quote,
(05:45):
we can see that ink particles accumulate in lymph nodes,
and we suspect that the body perceives the ink as
a foreign substance, and of course it starts to attack it,
creating an inflammatory response and chronic inflammation not good as
it relates to the big C and I do mean cancer.
(06:07):
This may mean that the immune system is constantly trying
to respond to the toxic ink within the lymph node
or lymph nodes, and he said, we do not yet
know whether this persistent strain could weaken the function of
the lymph nodes or have other health consequences. Close quote.
Writing of the journal British Medical Journal Public Health, the
(06:30):
authors said further work, of course, should be done to
explore particular colors of the ink used in tattoos that
also played a part of the increase in cancer risk.
They said it could be that tattoos don't directly cause
the disease out of there, but instead they hide it,
(06:51):
leading to later diagnosis. Tattoo ink that may cause cancer
but merely lead to later detection and thus potentially be
associated with more severe stages of skin cancer. Now in
the study, they had like twins. Twins studies are considered
(07:13):
a gold standard of such research because they allow experts
to analyze two participants with extremely similar DNA twins and
compare the impact of lifestyle differences in About tens of
thousands of cases of lymphoma are diagnosed in the US
each and every year. The condition happens when specific types
(07:37):
of blood cells, which are crucial to fighting infections, developed abnormally,
and more than five million cases ladies and gentlemen of
skin cancer are diagnosed in the United States annually. At
about one hundred thousand are malignant melanomas, the most serious
form of the disease. So you know this is you know,
(07:58):
like you said, doctor, but it's all about risk, and
I don't think. At one time when I was growing up,
the only people that had tattoos were the people were
coming home from the services, Army, Navy, Marines. They had tattoos,
special tattoos. And my dad sat me down and said, son,
you will never ever have a tattoo unless you were
(08:19):
in the armed services and you come home with it.
That's the only acceptable way that I should ever see
you have a tattoo. So I minded my dad's words,
and I'm glad I did, especially after I read an
article like this. But you know, doctor Brockman, I've talked
(08:40):
to people with tattoos like yourself, and most of them
within two years, the vast majority of them wish they
had never ever ever had it, and they are now
hating on themselves looking in the mirror, wishing they could
get it off, and they just can't afford to go
in to get it lasered off, but they wish they could.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
What say you, Well, personally, I like mine. I think
it's a story of my life. But I also have
read the studies that some of these ink particles may
gather in the lymphatic system. And and yes, I think
it's very important to have this immune the immune system
(09:16):
in as good a shape as you can. I feel
comfortable with mine currently. And I think that you when
I think you said the statement about how tattoos don't
directly cause skin cancer but instead may hide it, leading
to a later diagnosis, I think that is key there.
I think you always need to if you have tattoos,
you need to check your skin and make sure there
(09:37):
isn't any type of different formation of skin underneath their
that may be hiding it by the tattoo.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
And I you know, it's not one hundred percent that
anybody is going to get cancer if they have a tattoo.
I mean, there are people who have tattoos from the
tip of their toes to the tip of their head
and they may never get cancer. Then you have one
person who's got a tatche, or two, maybe a couple
of them. They may be more susceptible to cancer genetically,
(10:06):
or maybe their lifestyle also includes a lot of other
factors that may have led them down that path. Maybe
they don't eat right they don't exercise or under stress.
There's obviously a lot of factors that play a role
in a disease that's as complicated as cancer. And I
guess the researchers saying, look, if we know by our
(10:27):
studies that it ratchets up your risk of developing cancer,
being skin cancer, any other cancer, we want you to
know about that risk so that you have an informed
consent before going in, because I don't I dare say
that if most tattoo artists said, look, missus Jones, now
there is it is true that you could get cancer
from the tattoo that I'm about ready to give to you.
(10:49):
Are you still down for that? And then they make
a choice. All right, stay with us. We're gonna go
to phones after this. I'm Doctor Bob Martin. You're tuned
(11:27):
into the Doctor Bob Martin Show. Thank you for that
with us is also executive producer and co host of
the show. Dr Adam Brockman now dtr Brockman. The rejoined
music there with Bruno Mars. He was basically saying he'd
take a bullet to the brain for you. Would you
do that for the listener in the show, or you're
gonna back off a little bit on that one.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
The listeners make this show, and I think it's I
think it's important. Without the listeners, we would we wouldn't
have a show.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Yeah, but I'm not willing to take the bullet to
the head. Okay, I'm just gonna say it. I'm gonna
say what I what I'm thinking right here and be
real about it. Okay, I do just about anything else
for my listeners. So I'll tell you that's because I
am full to the brim of gratitude for the listener
of this show who's been with us, most of them
for years and years. Doctor Brockman, I'm telling you, I'm
(12:17):
talking about loyalty. We have some of the most loyal
listeners and excitable listeners and people who appreciate what we
bring to the table here each and every week, and
we're so pleased and so honored to have them tune
into the program. I can't state that enough. So all
right now, ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna move to the
(12:41):
Doctor Bob Martin Show caller hotline phone calls coming into
our program, and I want you to know that when
you hear these calls, you can jump in line and
Our goal is to help as many people as you can.
That's what it's all about, helping you to become your
own best doctor most of the time. So how do
(13:01):
you get involved, Well, you call the call er hotline
phone number. You're gonna hear me answer the phone. I'll
ask you to state your first name, the city in
state you're living in, and then your question or your comments.
That simple, and the number to call nationwide anytime of
the night or day. In fact, go to the phone. Now.
(13:22):
Just make sure that if you do call into this number,
turn your radio down before you call, and then I'll
you'll hear me ask you to questions, and then you
just state your question in your city and state. That's simple.
That number eight hundred six zero six eighty eight two two,
eight hundred six zero six eight eight two two one,
eight hundred six zero six eighty eight twenty two. Let's
(13:45):
get to work. Here's the next phone call coming in.
It's Joan calling in from Jackson, Mississippi.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
John Jackson, Mississippi, Sidle.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
Thanks supposent Thik, can you elaborate on it?
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Thanks?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Well, that was short and sweet. Side effects, Doctor Brockman
of taking ozembic, we talked about this last hour, the
osembic drugs, and one of the latest side effects was
the information that we talked about with the pharmacist who
has come out atop pharmacists talking about gallbladder disease, gallbladder sledge,
(14:23):
gallbladder stones. But that's on a long list of potential
side effects of osembic. Can you tell Joan what she
wants to know about potential side effects of using these
GLP one drugs, whether it's ozembic or weggavy or boro
Jarno or whatever dasure flavor they're offering up out there.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
These drugs they're going to basically slow down or paralyze
a nerve that controls the stomach. It's called the vegas nerve.
And so potential side effects with this include nausea, possibly
even thyroid, cancer of gallbladder, bladder issues, pancreatitis, that's a
that's a major one as well, kidney problems, constipation, diarrhea,
(15:08):
techic cardia. The list goes on loss of appetite. But
also with these side effects, which are very alarming, there's
a there's a risk reward here, and the risk of
obesity and diabetes may out outweigh the risk of these
GI type of symptoms. So we doctor Bob, you and
(15:29):
I all, we both have patients that have been unsuccessful
by losing they say they die at exercise. So these
type of patients still may the risk reward may be
worth doing. However, there are going to be some major
changes coming down a pipeline for these g LP one drugs.
I think this is a topic that we need to
(15:50):
revisit more adept discussion about these, the side effects of these,
the major side effects of these, and also what is
going to happen to have safe and effective ways for
weight management.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Yeah, you're right. It really boils down to benefit versus risk,
and that's what every consumer should know going in. But
they don't. They have, you know, a belief system. They
have confidence and belief in and hopeful wishful thinking, a
lot of wishful thinking, not expecting the fact that, oh, yeah,
I've heard that, you know, somebody may end up with
(16:28):
you know, thyroid cancer as a result of this, but
it won't be me, It'll be just the other person.
Or I've heard that you know that this person can
develop pancreatitis. It's so rare though, according to my doctor.
And then you see on that same list, Doctor Brockman,
that any drug, in my opinion, that can increase a
(16:49):
person's thoughts of killing themselves suicidal ideation is a drug
that I would stay away from by a mile a mile,
because if I can swallow something, a chemical that could
go into my body, whether it's for shutting down my
appetite or decreasing my blood shirt or claiming to help
(17:12):
my anxiety or my depression, if that drug has a
black box warning on it that says that, mister or
missus consumer, if you take this drug, you may have
thoughts of killing yourself or putting a forty four magnum
gun in your mouth and pulling the trigger. You still
(17:32):
down for this? I mean to me, that would scare
me away from anything. Even if I was like morbidly obese.
If I thought there was any possibility of that drug
causing me to think about killing myself, I'd probably run
in the other direction. What about you, doctor Brocklin.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Oh, absolutely, Diet and exercise are still are still the
best thing we can do for weight management. But I
want to also drop a couple things because this is
a topic we definitely need to come back to.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I want to drop.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
A couple of things that have been used for centuries
to help maintain blood sugar levels and treat diabetes. Fin you,
greek and bitter melon. Those are ones to look up.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Yeah, I was just eating bitter melon just yesterday. My
wife got some of the store. We cracked it open.
Not bad. I've taken it supplementally. I've used it also
with people with high blood sugar. Works phenomenally. But you know,
it gets back to the formula, the formula of taking
in too much and not burning enough galleries. It's gonna
(18:34):
be that. I mean, yeah, you can put a band
aid on that. You know, gluttony, an over excessive calorie
intake and then being a couch potato. You can put
a band aid on that, or you can paint over it.
Symptomatically with something that is a paralysis, the venom of
(18:54):
a reptile, which is where these GLP one drugs come from.
It's a venom from a reptile. They're doing this. Most
people don't know that HeLa monster. In fact, specifically it is.
And when you look at the potential side effects and
you see that more and more people that go on
(19:14):
these drugs were discovering more adverse side effects, thyroid cancer,
medullary thyroid cancer. I mean, if this is a drug,
worth it to take the risk of losing the weight temporarily,
because it's temporary when you take a golp one drug.
If you believe that taking this drug and then stopping
(19:38):
this drug will solve all your problems, I've got some
land on the moon to sell you, because you're very
naive unless you change your way that got you to
this excessive weight, which means you're taking in all the
wrong types of foods and too much of them, and
then you're not moving about to burn them off. And
there's always the exception to some metabo problem that you have,
(20:01):
like hypothyroidism or some other exciting factor, which of course
needs addressing and should have consideration. But the vast majority
of people will bury themselves one spoonful or one forkful
at a time. And that's what we have to teach people.
That's what we have to learn. We have to learn
something about how we got there and then be able
(20:22):
to believe that if we were able to create obesity,
we can uncreate obesity. I don't care if it's you know,
dropping them off on a sitcom of naked and a
freight or dropping them off on an island somewhere where
they have to fend for themselves. They got to get
their own water, their own food. They lose a tremendous
amount of weight, and they figure out how to do
it as opposed to taking a shot an injection and
(20:45):
then rolling the dice with all these harsh adverside effects.
All right, I've set it up. We'll be right back.
Stay with us, ladies and gentlemen. You're tuned into the
Doctor Bob Martin's Show. Are you waiting for the riotings?
Are you waiting for site shoes?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Waiting the time?

(21:45):
that you may not find anywhere else. You'll also have
the opportunity to join us on Instagram, X and LinkedIn.
And if you like this show, and maybe there's somebody
in your life that is not listening to this show
that you would like to have listened to the program,
then invite them to go to my website and get
into the podcast library, which are recordings of this show
(22:09):
from the past. Today's recording will be in there a
couple hours after the show, and maybe there's somebody in
your life that you think could benefit by listening to
what we're talking about here, Doctor Adam brockmin to myself,
we'll do invite them over to doctor Bob dot com
podcast library. We're in our number two, but our number
one was just as exciting, and hour number three will
even be better, So stick around and also let them
(22:33):
know about the Caller hotline phone number where you or
anyone can call in toll free nationwide and ask a
question about health or make a health related comment. Here's
that number. Eight hundred six zero six eight eight two
to two eight hundred six zero six eight eight two
(22:53):
two or one eight hundred six zero six eighty eight
twenty two gets you onto the Caller hotline phone number,
and I'll ask you your first name, only your city
and state that you're calling in from, and then your
question your comments. That simple, all right, before we go
back to your telephone calls and your questions at eight
hundred and six zero six eight eight two to two.
(23:16):
I learned probably about six months ago about a fascinating
nutrient that was undiscovered and unknown to me and a
lot of other clinicians and practitioners and physicians. Now they
have made the initials of this nutrient pea, you know,
(23:38):
like green pea. Pea for a very good reason, because
the chemical name of this nutrient that's in very minute,
minuscule quantities in egg yolks, specifically in other foods, is
showing some amazing promise when taken supplementally. Pea stands for paulmettoilethanolamine.
(24:05):
Doctor Brockman say that five times in a row paul metallethanolamine.
It's hard. Yeah, it's just remember, ladies, just pea for short.
That's all you need to know, because scientific research shows
that pea can address muscle pain and recovery, arthritis symptoms,
improve mobility and cognitive health, and a multitude of other
(24:26):
health concerns, including allergies, respiratory symptoms, and even a very
bad condition that's hard to treat, fibromyalgia. Pea, when taken supplementally,
can help that because of its inflammatory action. PEA researchers
have investigated its ability to relieve pain in a variety
of conditions including sciatica, neuropathy, TMJ problems, jaw problems, just
(24:52):
to name a few. Plus in scientific research, one of
the most common forms of arthritis osteoarthritis. This p EA
supplement from Terry Naturally Vitamins lowered levels of inflammatory markers,
slow damage of the cartilage between the bones, and reduced
NIE swelling. So if you are looking to improve your
(25:16):
overall health, consider supplementing with PEA from Terry Naturally Vitamins
to relieve both acute and chronic pain, better physical recovery
from injuries, better mood, focus, and even a more robust
immune system. You can find PEA this supplement from Terry
Naturally Vitamins at Finer Health food stores nationwide, or you
(25:41):
can also go to the website Terry Naturally Vitamins dot
com and look for Pea Terry Naturalivitamins dot Com for
PEA or Finer Health food stores nationwide. All right, let's
get right back to work with your telephone calls and questions.
(26:02):
Our number here is eight hundred six zero six eight
eight two to two one eight hundred six zero six
eight eight two to two. And next up we say
hello to Randy, who's going in from Fort Collins, Colorado.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Randy, Fort Collins, Colorado. My question is, I did not
take the bio weapon COVID shot, but I did catch
COVID about three years ago and had symptoms of a
lot of saliva and not being able to eat much
everythny and he gradually went away, but not totally, but
(26:38):
then came back with a vengeance this last summer, late summer,
and I haven't gone away. I haven't planned four and
goes up. And also my saliva glance went crazy and
my lips stayed seally and swallowing. And I've tried. I'm
a natoist type person. I've tried every day, any kind
(27:00):
of thing. I can find, all kinds of tin stirs, minerals,
vitamins on t boat, doctor wals, minerals, and numerous others.
Anything you can do to help. I've gotten the specialist.
I even know that, but nobody knows. You can talk
about my voice now now that I'm talking, my voice
starts a slur because my lips swell up, starts billing
(27:23):
up a night. It's like my brain knows, so as
I'm trying to go to sleep, the flames just poors,
or when I eat it's hard to eat, I keep
the lamb, and so it's really messing up my life.
Anything you can do your help, appreciate it that.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Okay, Randy, thank you for your call. I'm a little
concerned that you know, you should be under the care
of a doctor with those kind of the kind of
symptoms that you are discussing here, because what if it's
not related to the possibility of long COVID symptoms at all.
It could very well be you could have you would
(28:00):
have been around somebody who was shedding mRNA COVID vaccine
from their body and you could have taken that on
or you could have just naturally acquired COVID. But with
the kind of symptoms that you're talking about there, I mean,
all kinds of things pop into my head like Luke
(28:21):
Erigg's disease and various other things. So it'd be good
for you to work with a doctor if you haven't
done so, maybe a doctor trained in functional medicine. Meanwhile,
there are ways to degradate or reduce spike protein in
the body or uncouple it from the receptors that it's
stuck in creating this inflammation. There are supplements. One that
(28:44):
I'm aware of is called vascular Defense Randy. If you
haven't tried vascular Defense by Sun Nutrition, I would say
do that because it has these special proteolytic enzymes in
it and other elements that helped reduce the inflammatory process.
So if you want to find out more about that,
(29:06):
because I've had some great feedback with people who have
had If this is what you have, and I'm not
certain that it is, and that's why you need to
have a doctor check you out to make sure that
you don't have some other comorbidity underneath this thing, believing
it's COVID when it really is something more serious or
another disease altogether. But you can find out how to
(29:28):
get a hold of the vascular Defense formula by going
to Sunnutrition dot com. Sunnutrition dot Com look for vascular Defense. Also,
it would be a good idea for you to start
on Clear Rescue nasal spray to deal with that mucus.
There could be a sinus infection underneath this as well.
Clear x l ear Rescue nasal spray in finer health
(29:50):
foods stores nationwide. Randy again, thanks for your call. Appreciate
be well. I'm doctor Bob Martin.

doctor Brockman with phone calls. Next stop is Lee calling
in from des Moines, Iowa.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
Yes, doctor Bob, thanks for taking my call. This is
Lee from des Moines, Iowa. I have a question. You
may or may not be able to help me with this,
but our hospitals and their medical staff responsible for injuries
that occur in recovery non related to the issue that
(32:40):
brought the patient to the hospital to start with, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Well, that's a loaded question, doctor Brockman. I'll let you
start off with that one. I've got some views on
this as well.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Okay, Lee, Yes, it's called malpractice if you believe hospital
care or any medical care caused or made a condition
worse that you are now suffering with, you may want
to try to get another opinion from a doctor that
you know and trust, and then also you may consider
meeting with an attorney as well.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
Yeah, I think that's about the extent of it. Things happen, Lee,
I mean, hospitals are places that certainly can be sanctuaries
and perform life saving procedures and things. We know that,
but they can also be a place where people get
(33:34):
hurt and injured. And a lot of hospitals, I mean
there's almost like this undertow of cya deny everything with
the hope that somebody would just go away. No, I
totally agree with that. If there's been a malpractice, you
(33:54):
need to contact an attorney that specializes in medical mal practice,
gather your file, your medical records, comb over those, and
find out if there is in fact a case to
initiate a malpractice suit. I mean, you have to do this.
(34:19):
Not enough people do it, and because not enough people
do it, things don't change. They keep doing the same thing.
So do it for someone else, someone else behind you
that may have the same problem, face them if you
don't want to do it for yourself, at least try
to help somebody else avoid this. And that's why I
(34:39):
think more people need to be suing hospitals and doctors
when there is an injury that's a blatant malpractice case.
That's my opinion, because otherwise, how are things going to
change if you just sweep it under the rug like
often they do. All right, appreciate your phone call ly
our number here if you'd like to make a comment
about anything that we're talking about you've heard here on
(35:01):
the show, or you have a question about your own health,
you may do so. Wor's mac dab in the middle
of an open health topic marathon where you can call
and ask a question about health or make a health
comment at one eight hundred six zero six eight eight
two to two one eight hundred six zero six eight
eight two to two. Next up, we say hello to
(35:21):
Ted calling in from Johnson City, Tennessee.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
Ed Johnson City, Tennessee. My question is I have BPH.
I think ten soloson for it and it started experiencing
some sexual dysfunction, including the possibility of parnis and didn't
know if possibility that the tam soloson was linked to
(35:46):
those sexual problems. Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Well, thank you, Ted, Sorry you're having trouble there. First
and foremost, uh, I know enough about temp solo to
be dangerous. But what I do know is you can
do the same thing that I did. Ted. You go
to the Internet to doctor Google and you type in
temp's solosin and you will see that it can cause
(36:13):
adverse sexual side effects. And it's been associated with a
condition called priapism, which is a prolonged direction which absolutely
can put you at risk to either causing the condition
Perone's disease where your penis is injured, or it could
(36:34):
make it worse if you already have it. So, yes,
you had the answer before you called in. The drug
you took could very well create the problem that you have.
I hope that helps Ted. Good health to you, all right,
ladies and gentlemen, stay tuned, We're coming right back. You're
tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
You you make.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Me hopefully we are medicine for you, natural medicine whenever applicable.
Welcome and welcome back to this hour of the Doctor
Bob Martin Show. We are taking questions on the topic
of health. Health related questions are health comments, and you
can join in. We invite you to do so by
(37:35):
calling our toll free number nationwide one eight hundred six
zero six eight eight two two. Become your own best
doctor most of the time by searching out and gathering
information about health and then putting it into action. It's
that simple. The only bad health question is the one
you're not asking, so get to it. One eight hundred
six zero six eighty eight two two eight hundred six
(37:58):
zero six eighty eight two twenty two or the website
all Things health related doctor Bob dot com spelling out
the word doctor. All right, now, we just have a
little bit of time left. We're going to try to
squeeze another phone call in before the end of the hour,
Doctor Brockman. Here is Rita from South Elgin, Illinois.
Speaker 8 (38:19):
Hello, my name is Rita. I'm calling from South Elgin, Illinois.
What are the You were just talking about cat scams
and how it affects us with radiation? What about m
(38:39):
R I scans and pet scams? How does that affect
our body? Thank you? Bye?
Speaker 3 (38:50):
All right, Rita, thank you for your call, Doctor Brockman.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
Yeah, Hi, Rita. The radiation emitted from from PET scans.
It's typically lower than that of other medical imaging techniques
such as CT. However, there's still some radiation there and
it's not recommended for pregnant women or children. MRIs, on
the other hand, do not emit these ionizing radio radiation.
(39:14):
Like CT or PET scans, MRIs are based on using
a large magnet in it radio waves, so this is
considered a non invasive medical imaging. Some other considerations with
MRIs are pregnant women. There's still not enough research done
on what the effects on a fetus may may be,
so if you're pregnant, you may tell your doctor that
(39:37):
individuals with metal implants or objects in their bodies should
disclose this before they have an MRI, and then people
with other conditions such as kidney disease may need to
take precautions if they have if they're getting MRIs.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
With contrast, very good, Okay, so Rita, then to answer
your question, two, PET scans and CT scans are ionizing radiation,
which means they have the potential to cause cancer. They
are critically important diagnostic tools because they can really hone
in on and get fine detail. That's the idea get
(40:11):
the details that doctors need in order to find out
what's really wrong with the patient. However, the average abdominal
CT scan is the equivalent in ionizing radiation is getting
over one hundred separate lung X rays chest X rays.
So one abdominal CT scan is the equivalent in X
ray radiation. Ionizing radiation is over one hundred different lung
(40:36):
chest X rays, So just keep that in mind. All right,
stay tuned, ladies and gentlemen. We're going to be talking
about cosmetic surgeon revealing what it is.

With it we have everything we need. Without it, we

much material wealth you have, I am so glad you
decided to join us today. Welcome everyone, Welcome to this
hour of the Doctor Bob Martchin Show. I'm Doctor Bob
and I'm here with executive producer and co host of
(01:42):
the show, doctor Adam Brockman. If I had to read
his CV, we'd be here all day. We wouldn't get
anything done. Just know that he has two doctorates, He's
treated thousands and thousands of patients over a seventeen year
period of time. Doctor Brockman. Welcome to the program as well, sir, Hello,
Doctor Bob.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
How are you doing?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I'm doing well. I wanted to start out this hour
talking about tattoos, but before I do that, I want
to disclose that I might have a built in bias
against tattoos. I am not inked in any manner whatsoever
that I know of, unless somebody put a tattoo on
my body that I don't know where they put it
and I can't see it while I was sleeping or
(02:21):
passed out. But I am not inked. Are you ink
Do you have any tattoos? On your body before a
full disclosure to our audience before we get rolling on
this topic of experts discovered people with tattoos have a
double double the risk of deadly cancer. Sorry, if you
have any tattoos, doctor Brockman.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Doctor Bob. I do and has some meaning to it.
It has a story of my kids and whatnot. So
they you know, it's like anything else. There's risk with everything,
isn't there.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yes, there is. And okay, we got that out of
the way. I'm glad. All right, So let's get into
this a little bit because people might be interested, especially
if people are on the fence of getting a first
tattoo or getting another tattoo, or maybe after they hear this,
they want to have those tattoos extracted from their bodies.
(03:12):
Getting a tattoo could nearly triple your risk of certain cancers.
A fascinating study has come out on thousands of people.
That's what they suggest. It's not what I'm saying. Yes,
I guess I have a well, my canvas is clean,
all right, I'm bragging. I'm not bragging. I'm not complaining.
I'm just telling you. I'm telling you the news. Danish
(03:33):
and Finnish scientists analyzed data from over two thousand twins
comparing cancer rates in those who inked up, and they
don't say how much ink they got, but they just
said inked up with tattoos versus those that didn't have
a single tattoo. They found participants with any tattoo, we're
(03:57):
up to sixty two percent more likely to be diagnosed
with skin cancer. But for those with body art larger
than a palm of their hand, the risk of skin
cancer increased by one hundred and thirty seven percent, and
for lymphoma, which is a form of cancer a type
(04:19):
of blood cancer, the risk soared to one hundred and
seventy three percent. Of those who were tatted who or
had tattoos now. The researcher said their findings were concerning
given the rising popularity of tattoos. It's exploded. You can't
go down the street without finding a tattoo parlor today,
(04:40):
that's for sure. Particularly among younger generations, are getting these things.
Surveys estimated that about one in three people in the
US now have at least one tattoo. That would include you.
Doctor Brockmann and the authors said tattoos may increase cancer
in due to the ink entering the blood stream and
(05:03):
accumulating in the lymph nodes glands that are a vital
part of the body's immune system. So apparently, when you
get a tattoo, you are dirtying up your blood stream
and then it goes to your lymph system, which is
where a lot of your immune system resides, and then
(05:23):
you're polluting it and things start to circle the drain.
The dies could trigger chronic inflammation, leading to abnormal cell
growth and an increased risk of cancer. Professor Hendrik Fredrickson,
an expert in blood disorders from the University of Southern
Denmark and one of the study authors, explained, and I quote,
(05:45):
we can see that ink particles accumulate in lymph nodes,
and we suspect that the body perceives the ink as
a foreign substance, and of course it starts to attack it,
creating an inflammatory response and chronic inflammation not good as
it relates to the big C and I do mean cancer.
(06:07):
This may mean that the immune system is constantly trying
to respond to the toxic ink within the lymph node
or lymph nodes, and he said, we do not yet
know whether this persistent strain could weaken the function of
the lymph nodes or have other health consequences. Close quote.
Writing of the journal British Medical Journal Public Health, the
(06:30):
authors said further work, of course, should be done to
explore particular colors of the ink used in tattoos that
also played a part of the increase in cancer risk.
They said it could be that tattoos don't directly cause
the disease out of there, but instead they hide it,
(06:51):
leading to later diagnosis. Tattoo ink that may cause cancer
but merely lead to later detection and thus potentially be
associated with more severe stages of skin cancer. Now in
the study, they had like twins. Twins studies are considered
(07:13):
a gold standard of such research because they allow experts
to analyze two participants with extremely similar DNA twins and
compare the impact of lifestyle differences in About tens of
thousands of cases of lymphoma are diagnosed in the US
each and every year. The condition happens when specific types
(07:37):
of blood cells, which are crucial to fighting infections, developed abnormally,
and more than five million cases ladies and gentlemen of
skin cancer are diagnosed in the United States annually. At
about one hundred thousand are malignant melanomas, the most serious
form of the disease. So you know this is you know,
(07:58):
like you said, doctor, but it's all about risk, and
I don't think. At one time when I was growing up,
the only people that had tattoos were the people were
coming home from the services, Army, Navy, Marines. They had tattoos,
special tattoos. And my dad sat me down and said, son,
you will never ever have a tattoo unless you were
(08:19):
in the armed services and you come home with it.
That's the only acceptable way that I should ever see
you have a tattoo. So I minded my dad's words,
and I'm glad I did, especially after I read an
article like this. But you know, doctor Brockman, I've talked
(08:40):
to people with tattoos like yourself, and most of them
within two years, the vast majority of them wish they
had never ever ever had it, and they are now
hating on themselves looking in the mirror, wishing they could
get it off, and they just can't afford to go
in to get it lasered off, but they wish they could.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
What say you, Well, personally, I like mine. I think
it's a story of my life. But I also have
read the studies that some of these ink particles may
gather in the lymphatic system. And and yes, I think
it's very important to have this immune the immune system
(09:16):
in as good a shape as you can. I feel
comfortable with mine currently. And I think that you when
I think you said the statement about how tattoos don't
directly cause skin cancer but instead may hide it, leading
to a later diagnosis, I think that is key there.
I think you always need to if you have tattoos,
you need to check your skin and make sure there
(09:37):
isn't any type of different formation of skin underneath their
that may be hiding it by the tattoo.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
And I you know, it's not one hundred percent that
anybody is going to get cancer if they have a tattoo.
I mean, there are people who have tattoos from the
tip of their toes to the tip of their head
and they may never get cancer. Then you have one
person who's got a tatche, or two, maybe a couple
of them. They may be more susceptible to cancer genetically,
(10:06):
or maybe their lifestyle also includes a lot of other
factors that may have led them down that path. Maybe
they don't eat right they don't exercise or under stress.
There's obviously a lot of factors that play a role
in a disease that's as complicated as cancer. And I
guess the researchers saying, look, if we know by our
(10:27):
studies that it ratchets up your risk of developing cancer,
being skin cancer, any other cancer, we want you to
know about that risk so that you have an informed
consent before going in, because I don't I dare say
that if most tattoo artists said, look, missus Jones, now
there is it is true that you could get cancer
from the tattoo that I'm about ready to give to you.
(10:49):
Are you still down for that? And then they make
a choice. All right, stay with us. We're gonna go
to phones after this. I'm Doctor Bob Martin. You're tuned
(11:27):
into the Doctor Bob Martin Show. Thank you for that
with us is also executive producer and co host of
the show. Dr Adam Brockman now dtr Brockman. The rejoined
music there with Bruno Mars. He was basically saying he'd
take a bullet to the brain for you. Would you
do that for the listener in the show, or you're
gonna back off a little bit on that one.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
The listeners make this show, and I think it's I
think it's important. Without the listeners, we would we wouldn't
have a show.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Yeah, but I'm not willing to take the bullet to
the head. Okay, I'm just gonna say it. I'm gonna
say what I what I'm thinking right here and be
real about it. Okay, I do just about anything else
for my listeners. So I'll tell you that's because I
am full to the brim of gratitude for the listener
of this show who's been with us, most of them
for years and years. Doctor Brockman, I'm telling you, I'm
(12:17):
talking about loyalty. We have some of the most loyal
listeners and excitable listeners and people who appreciate what we
bring to the table here each and every week, and
we're so pleased and so honored to have them tune
into the program. I can't state that enough. So all
right now, ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna move to the
(12:41):
Doctor Bob Martin Show caller hotline phone calls coming into
our program, and I want you to know that when
you hear these calls, you can jump in line and
Our goal is to help as many people as you can.
That's what it's all about, helping you to become your
own best doctor most of the time. So how do
(13:01):
you get involved, Well, you call the call er hotline
phone number. You're gonna hear me answer the phone. I'll
ask you to state your first name, the city in
state you're living in, and then your question or your comments.
That simple, and the number to call nationwide anytime of
the night or day. In fact, go to the phone. Now.
(13:22):
Just make sure that if you do call into this number,
turn your radio down before you call, and then I'll
you'll hear me ask you to questions, and then you
just state your question in your city and state. That's simple.
That number eight hundred six zero six eighty eight two two,
eight hundred six zero six eight eight two two one,
eight hundred six zero six eighty eight twenty two. Let's
(13:45):
get to work. Here's the next phone call coming in.
It's Joan calling in from Jackson, Mississippi.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
John Jackson, Mississippi, Sidle.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
Thanks supposent Thik, can you elaborate on it?
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Thanks?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Well, that was short and sweet. Side effects, Doctor Brockman
of taking ozembic, we talked about this last hour, the
osembic drugs, and one of the latest side effects was
the information that we talked about with the pharmacist who
has come out atop pharmacists talking about gallbladder disease, gallbladder sledge,
(14:23):
gallbladder stones. But that's on a long list of potential
side effects of osembic. Can you tell Joan what she
wants to know about potential side effects of using these
GLP one drugs, whether it's ozembic or weggavy or boro
Jarno or whatever dasure flavor they're offering up out there.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
These drugs they're going to basically slow down or paralyze
a nerve that controls the stomach. It's called the vegas nerve.
And so potential side effects with this include nausea, possibly
even thyroid, cancer of gallbladder, bladder issues, pancreatitis, that's a
that's a major one as well, kidney problems, constipation, diarrhea,
(15:08):
techic cardia. The list goes on loss of appetite. But
also with these side effects, which are very alarming, there's
a there's a risk reward here, and the risk of
obesity and diabetes may out outweigh the risk of these
GI type of symptoms. So we doctor Bob, you and
(15:29):
I all, we both have patients that have been unsuccessful
by losing they say they die at exercise. So these
type of patients still may the risk reward may be
worth doing. However, there are going to be some major
changes coming down a pipeline for these g LP one drugs.
I think this is a topic that we need to
(15:50):
revisit more adept discussion about these, the side effects of these,
the major side effects of these, and also what is
going to happen to have safe and effective ways for
weight management.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Yeah, you're right. It really boils down to benefit versus risk,
and that's what every consumer should know going in. But
they don't. They have, you know, a belief system. They
have confidence and belief in and hopeful wishful thinking, a
lot of wishful thinking, not expecting the fact that, oh, yeah,
I've heard that, you know, somebody may end up with
(16:28):
you know, thyroid cancer as a result of this, but
it won't be me, It'll be just the other person.
Or I've heard that you know that this person can
develop pancreatitis. It's so rare though, according to my doctor.
And then you see on that same list, Doctor Brockman,
that any drug, in my opinion, that can increase a
(16:49):
person's thoughts of killing themselves suicidal ideation is a drug
that I would stay away from by a mile a mile,
because if I can swallow something, a chemical that could
go into my body, whether it's for shutting down my
appetite or decreasing my blood shirt or claiming to help
(17:12):
my anxiety or my depression, if that drug has a
black box warning on it that says that, mister or
missus consumer, if you take this drug, you may have
thoughts of killing yourself or putting a forty four magnum
gun in your mouth and pulling the trigger. You still
(17:32):
down for this? I mean to me, that would scare
me away from anything. Even if I was like morbidly obese.
If I thought there was any possibility of that drug
causing me to think about killing myself, I'd probably run
in the other direction. What about you, doctor Brocklin.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Oh, absolutely, Diet and exercise are still are still the
best thing we can do for weight management. But I
want to also drop a couple things because this is
a topic we definitely need to come back to.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I want to drop.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
A couple of things that have been used for centuries
to help maintain blood sugar levels and treat diabetes. Fin you,
greek and bitter melon. Those are ones to look up.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Yeah, I was just eating bitter melon just yesterday. My
wife got some of the store. We cracked it open.
Not bad. I've taken it supplementally. I've used it also
with people with high blood sugar. Works phenomenally. But you know,
it gets back to the formula, the formula of taking
in too much and not burning enough galleries. It's gonna
(18:34):
be that. I mean, yeah, you can put a band
aid on that. You know, gluttony, an over excessive calorie
intake and then being a couch potato. You can put
a band aid on that, or you can paint over it.
Symptomatically with something that is a paralysis, the venom of
(18:54):
a reptile, which is where these GLP one drugs come from.
It's a venom from a reptile. They're doing this. Most
people don't know that HeLa monster. In fact, specifically it is.
And when you look at the potential side effects and
you see that more and more people that go on
(19:14):
these drugs were discovering more adverse side effects, thyroid cancer,
medullary thyroid cancer. I mean, if this is a drug,
worth it to take the risk of losing the weight temporarily,
because it's temporary when you take a golp one drug.
If you believe that taking this drug and then stopping
(19:38):
this drug will solve all your problems, I've got some
land on the moon to sell you, because you're very
naive unless you change your way that got you to
this excessive weight, which means you're taking in all the
wrong types of foods and too much of them, and
then you're not moving about to burn them off. And
there's always the exception to some metabo problem that you have,
(20:01):
like hypothyroidism or some other exciting factor, which of course
needs addressing and should have consideration. But the vast majority
of people will bury themselves one spoonful or one forkful
at a time. And that's what we have to teach people.
That's what we have to learn. We have to learn
something about how we got there and then be able
(20:22):
to believe that if we were able to create obesity,
we can uncreate obesity. I don't care if it's you know,
dropping them off on a sitcom of naked and a
freight or dropping them off on an island somewhere where
they have to fend for themselves. They got to get
their own water, their own food. They lose a tremendous
amount of weight, and they figure out how to do
it as opposed to taking a shot an injection and
(20:45):
then rolling the dice with all these harsh adverside effects.
All right, I've set it up. We'll be right back.
Stay with us, ladies and gentlemen. You're tuned into the
Doctor Bob Martin's Show. Are you waiting for the riotings?
Are you waiting for site shoes?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Waiting the time?
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Five phone.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Mon?
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Are you in? Welcome? Welcome back to this hour of
the Doctor Bob Artin Show. If you want to access
health news from around the globe, you may do so
on my personal website at doctor Bob dot com. Spell
out the word doctor d O C T O R
Bob dot com, posting up news from around the globe
(21:45):
that you may not find anywhere else. You'll also have
the opportunity to join us on Instagram, X and LinkedIn.
And if you like this show, and maybe there's somebody
in your life that is not listening to this show
that you would like to have listened to the program,
then invite them to go to my website and get
into the podcast library, which are recordings of this show
(22:09):
from the past. Today's recording will be in there a
couple hours after the show, and maybe there's somebody in
your life that you think could benefit by listening to
what we're talking about here, Doctor Adam brockmin to myself,
we'll do invite them over to doctor Bob dot com
podcast library. We're in our number two, but our number
one was just as exciting, and hour number three will
even be better, So stick around and also let them
(22:33):
know about the Caller hotline phone number where you or
anyone can call in toll free nationwide and ask a
question about health or make a health related comment. Here's
that number. Eight hundred six zero six eight eight two
to two eight hundred six zero six eight eight two
(22:53):
two or one eight hundred six zero six eighty eight
twenty two gets you onto the Caller hotline phone number,
and I'll ask you your first name, only your city
and state that you're calling in from, and then your
question your comments. That simple, all right, before we go
back to your telephone calls and your questions at eight
hundred and six zero six eight eight two to two.
(23:16):
I learned probably about six months ago about a fascinating
nutrient that was undiscovered and unknown to me and a
lot of other clinicians and practitioners and physicians. Now they
have made the initials of this nutrient pea, you know,
(23:38):
like green pea. Pea for a very good reason, because
the chemical name of this nutrient that's in very minute,
minuscule quantities in egg yolks, specifically in other foods, is
showing some amazing promise when taken supplementally. Pea stands for paulmettoilethanolamine.
(24:05):
Doctor Brockman say that five times in a row paul metallethanolamine.
It's hard. Yeah, it's just remember, ladies, just pea for short.
That's all you need to know, because scientific research shows
that pea can address muscle pain and recovery, arthritis symptoms,
improve mobility and cognitive health, and a multitude of other
(24:26):
health concerns, including allergies, respiratory symptoms, and even a very
bad condition that's hard to treat, fibromyalgia. Pea, when taken supplementally,
can help that because of its inflammatory action. PEA researchers
have investigated its ability to relieve pain in a variety
of conditions including sciatica, neuropathy, TMJ problems, jaw problems, just
(24:52):
to name a few. Plus in scientific research, one of
the most common forms of arthritis osteoarthritis. This p EA
supplement from Terry Naturally Vitamins lowered levels of inflammatory markers,
slow damage of the cartilage between the bones, and reduced
NIE swelling. So if you are looking to improve your
(25:16):
overall health, consider supplementing with PEA from Terry Naturally Vitamins
to relieve both acute and chronic pain, better physical recovery
from injuries, better mood, focus, and even a more robust
immune system. You can find PEA this supplement from Terry
Naturally Vitamins at Finer Health food stores nationwide, or you
(25:41):
can also go to the website Terry Naturally Vitamins dot
com and look for Pea Terry Naturalivitamins dot Com for
PEA or Finer Health food stores nationwide. All right, let's
get right back to work with your telephone calls and questions.
(26:02):
Our number here is eight hundred six zero six eight
eight two to two one eight hundred six zero six
eight eight two to two. And next up we say
hello to Randy, who's going in from Fort Collins, Colorado.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Randy, Fort Collins, Colorado. My question is, I did not
take the bio weapon COVID shot, but I did catch
COVID about three years ago and had symptoms of a
lot of saliva and not being able to eat much
everythny and he gradually went away, but not totally, but
(26:38):
then came back with a vengeance this last summer, late summer,
and I haven't gone away. I haven't planned four and
goes up. And also my saliva glance went crazy and
my lips stayed seally and swallowing. And I've tried. I'm
a natoist type person. I've tried every day, any kind
(27:00):
of thing. I can find, all kinds of tin stirs, minerals,
vitamins on t boat, doctor wals, minerals, and numerous others.
Anything you can do to help. I've gotten the specialist.
I even know that, but nobody knows. You can talk
about my voice now now that I'm talking, my voice
starts a slur because my lips swell up, starts billing
(27:23):
up a night. It's like my brain knows, so as
I'm trying to go to sleep, the flames just poors,
or when I eat it's hard to eat, I keep
the lamb, and so it's really messing up my life.
Anything you can do your help, appreciate it that.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Okay, Randy, thank you for your call. I'm a little
concerned that you know, you should be under the care
of a doctor with those kind of the kind of
symptoms that you are discussing here, because what if it's
not related to the possibility of long COVID symptoms at all.
It could very well be you could have you would
(28:00):
have been around somebody who was shedding mRNA COVID vaccine
from their body and you could have taken that on
or you could have just naturally acquired COVID. But with
the kind of symptoms that you're talking about there, I mean,
all kinds of things pop into my head like Luke
(28:21):
Erigg's disease and various other things. So it'd be good
for you to work with a doctor if you haven't
done so, maybe a doctor trained in functional medicine. Meanwhile,
there are ways to degradate or reduce spike protein in
the body or uncouple it from the receptors that it's
stuck in creating this inflammation. There are supplements. One that
(28:44):
I'm aware of is called vascular Defense Randy. If you
haven't tried vascular Defense by Sun Nutrition, I would say
do that because it has these special proteolytic enzymes in
it and other elements that helped reduce the inflammatory process.
So if you want to find out more about that,
(29:06):
because I've had some great feedback with people who have
had If this is what you have, and I'm not
certain that it is, and that's why you need to
have a doctor check you out to make sure that
you don't have some other comorbidity underneath this thing, believing
it's COVID when it really is something more serious or
another disease altogether. But you can find out how to
(29:28):
get a hold of the vascular Defense formula by going
to Sunnutrition dot com. Sunnutrition dot Com look for vascular Defense. Also,
it would be a good idea for you to start
on Clear Rescue nasal spray to deal with that mucus.
There could be a sinus infection underneath this as well.
Clear x l ear Rescue nasal spray in finer health
(29:50):
foods stores nationwide. Randy again, thanks for your call. Appreciate
be well. I'm doctor Bob Martin.

(31:58):
eight hundred zero six eight eight two to two eight
hundred six zero six eighty eight twenty two. Doctor bob
dot com is a website. Let's get right back to work,
doctor Brockman with phone calls. Next stop is Lee calling
in from des Moines, Iowa.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
Yes, doctor Bob, thanks for taking my call. This is
Lee from des Moines, Iowa. I have a question. You
may or may not be able to help me with this,
but our hospitals and their medical staff responsible for injuries
that occur in recovery non related to the issue that
(32:40):
brought the patient to the hospital to start with, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Well, that's a loaded question, doctor Brockman. I'll let you
start off with that one. I've got some views on
this as well.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Okay, Lee, Yes, it's called malpractice if you believe hospital
care or any medical care caused or made a condition
worse that you are now suffering with, you may want
to try to get another opinion from a doctor that
you know and trust, and then also you may consider
meeting with an attorney as well.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
Yeah, I think that's about the extent of it. Things happen, Lee,
I mean, hospitals are places that certainly can be sanctuaries
and perform life saving procedures and things. We know that,
but they can also be a place where people get
(33:34):
hurt and injured. And a lot of hospitals, I mean
there's almost like this undertow of cya deny everything with
the hope that somebody would just go away. No, I
totally agree with that. If there's been a malpractice, you
(33:54):
need to contact an attorney that specializes in medical mal practice,
gather your file, your medical records, comb over those, and
find out if there is in fact a case to
initiate a malpractice suit. I mean, you have to do this.
(34:19):
Not enough people do it, and because not enough people
do it, things don't change. They keep doing the same thing.
So do it for someone else, someone else behind you
that may have the same problem, face them if you
don't want to do it for yourself, at least try
to help somebody else avoid this. And that's why I
(34:39):
think more people need to be suing hospitals and doctors
when there is an injury that's a blatant malpractice case.
That's my opinion, because otherwise, how are things going to
change if you just sweep it under the rug like
often they do. All right, appreciate your phone call ly
our number here if you'd like to make a comment
about anything that we're talking about you've heard here on
(35:01):
the show, or you have a question about your own health,
you may do so. Wor's mac dab in the middle
of an open health topic marathon where you can call
and ask a question about health or make a health
comment at one eight hundred six zero six eight eight
two to two one eight hundred six zero six eight
eight two to two. Next up, we say hello to
(35:21):
Ted calling in from Johnson City, Tennessee.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
Ed Johnson City, Tennessee. My question is I have BPH.
I think ten soloson for it and it started experiencing
some sexual dysfunction, including the possibility of parnis and didn't
know if possibility that the tam soloson was linked to
(35:46):
those sexual problems. Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Well, thank you, Ted, Sorry you're having trouble there. First
and foremost, uh, I know enough about temp solo to
be dangerous. But what I do know is you can
do the same thing that I did. Ted. You go
to the Internet to doctor Google and you type in
temp's solosin and you will see that it can cause
(36:13):
adverse sexual side effects. And it's been associated with a
condition called priapism, which is a prolonged direction which absolutely
can put you at risk to either causing the condition
Perone's disease where your penis is injured, or it could
(36:34):
make it worse if you already have it. So, yes,
you had the answer before you called in. The drug
you took could very well create the problem that you have.
I hope that helps Ted. Good health to you, all right,

little bit of time left. We're going to try to
squeeze another phone call in before the end of the hour,
Doctor Brockman. Here is Rita from South Elgin, Illinois.
Speaker 8 (38:19):
Hello, my name is Rita. I'm calling from South Elgin, Illinois.
What are the You were just talking about cat scams
and how it affects us with radiation? What about m
(38:39):
R I scans and pet scams? How does that affect
our body? Thank you? Bye?
Speaker 3 (38:50):
All right, Rita, thank you for your call, Doctor Brockman.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
Yeah, Hi, Rita. The radiation emitted from from PET scans.
It's typically lower than that of other medical imaging techniques
such as CT. However, there's still some radiation there and
it's not recommended for pregnant women or children. MRIs, on
the other hand, do not emit these ionizing radio radiation.
(39:14):
Like CT or PET scans, MRIs are based on using
a large magnet in it radio waves, so this is
considered a non invasive medical imaging. Some other considerations with
MRIs are pregnant women. There's still not enough research done
on what the effects on a fetus may may be,
so if you're pregnant, you may tell your doctor that
(39:37):
individuals with metal implants or objects in their bodies should
disclose this before they have an MRI, and then people
with other conditions such as kidney disease may need to
take precautions if they have if they're getting MRIs.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
With contrast, very good, Okay, so Rita, then to answer
your question, two, PET scans and CT scans are ionizing radiation,
which means they have the potential to cause cancer. They
are critically important diagnostic tools because they can really hone
in on and get fine detail. That's the idea get
(40:11):
the details that doctors need in order to find out
what's really wrong with the patient. However, the average abdominal
CT scan is the equivalent in ionizing radiation is getting
over one hundred separate lung X rays chest X rays.
So one abdominal CT scan is the equivalent in X
ray radiation. Ionizing radiation is over one hundred different lung
(40:36):
chest X rays, So just keep that in mind. All right,
stay tuned, ladies and gentlemen. We're going to be talking
about cosmetic surgeon revealing what it is.
