(03:07):
things health related news. All right, doctor Adam Brockman, Hello, doctor, Hello,
you sir, have been telling me about an interesting bit
of information. You send it over to me, and I
want you to share that health information with the audience.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah, doctor Bob. Today, let's tackle a topic. It's hotter
than a jalapeno on a July grill. It's a sunburn
in UV damage. Now. I know most listeners are probably
rolling their eyes already, saying, not another sunscreen lecture. Well,
let me promise you this isn't just about slapping on
that lotion. We're going to talk about UV rays. Maybe
(03:47):
throw in some coral reef drama and some shocking ingredients
that are hiding in that beach bag. So I want
to go ahead and dive in here. And UV radiation
is the ultimate stealth attacker. Can't see it, but it's
still there. So here's a breakdown on each of these rays.
We got these UVA rays. These are the aging assassins.
(04:08):
They penetrate windows, they go through clouds and even your
car windshield. It breaks down your collagen and it causes wrinkles.
So if we're thinking of UVA, we're thinking of it
A is for aging. But I'd like to leave today
with some ways for anti aging. And next up we
have these UV B rays. These are the if you
(04:31):
use B for burn, these are the burn bandits. These
are the guys why if you turn into a lobster
after just like twenty minutes at the pool. They're the
strongest from about ten am to four pm, and this
is prime time for those backyard barbecues and boding. And
then last we got these UVC rays. These are the
(04:52):
ozone layers a problem, and thankfully Earth's atmosphere blocks most
of these for now. That is but doctor Bob, did
you know, so just one blistering sunburn increases your risk
of melanoma and eighty percent of skin aging. If you're
thinking about wrinkles and sunspots is caused by UV exposure.
(05:12):
It's not just normal getting older. And then if we
think about these glass windows that block UVB, but they
don't block the UVA rays, so yes, you can still
get that sun damage during your morning commute. And folks,
sunscreen it's I use it not just as a suggestion,
(05:34):
but a shield. But you've got to use the right
ones and use it correctly. If we're going to break
that down, this SPF sweet spot is a SPF thirty,
it blocks ninety seven percent of UBV rays. And then
if you start to jump up there like for example
SPF fifty, it blocks ninety eight percent. So you're just
(05:55):
getting that extra one with that higher number. So there
you're looking at just mostly marketing by these companies. I
also think we need to apply enough here. If we
look at this like a shot glass size amount for
your entire body, and then for your face maybe like
a nickel size, and those spots that you miss, like
your ears, your lips, and feet, they need some attention
(06:18):
here too, and timing is a lot of this. We
need to apply sunscreen fifteen minutes before sun exposure. This
gives it time to basically block that layer over your
skin and reapply every couple hours. And if you're swimming
or sweating, you need to do that even more. And
(06:38):
clothing is an example here that if we're looking at
UPF fifty plus clothing, it gives a little bit extra armor. Say,
for instance, that compares to a white T shirt which
only has about UPF of five or so, so there's
not much protection there. If you're going to be out
in the sun, you need things like the clothing and
hats even matter here. A three inch rim around or
(07:01):
brim around that of a hat that protects your ears,
your neck, your nose. Baseball caps, which many people think
do help with that may protect your scalp and maybe
a portion of your face, but they don't. They leave
your neck, your ears exposed to the UV rays. Another
article of clothing sunglasses UV rays they cause cataracts in
(07:25):
macular degeneration. If we're looking at these here, you want
to look for ones that got one hundred percent UV
protection and not just the darker the lens nasality doesn't
give you more protection there. Obviously, hydration is important anytime
we're talking about being out in the sun. If you
have sun and then do you have a dehydration, you're
setting yourself up more for heat strokes. It's just waiting
(07:48):
to happen. So if you're in the sun, go ahead
and chug some water. You can add in maybe some
sea salt and splash of coconut water. It adds in
those electrolytes there. And if you look at at your sunscreen,
I want to play a little game of what's hiding
in your sunscreen. Some of these ingredients you don't want
near you. For instance, this first one on the list
(08:12):
is oxybenzone. It's banned in Hawaii in Key West because
it bleaches coral reefs. So if you're thinking about that,
if it bleaches a coral reef, what does it doing
to your skin? Studies link it to hormone disruption and
allergic reaction. And there's also another one here that is
a it's oxygenite. It's found in seventy percent of sunscreens.
(08:36):
It accumulates in a body and it mimics estrogen. It
sounds healthy, maybe with these some of these maybe like
this retinol, but no, it increases a risk of it
skin of cancer when it's exposed to the sunlight there,
but there is some there are some heroes like zinc
oxide and titanium oxide. These are mineral sunscreens that sit
(08:58):
on your skin flex UV like a mirror, so there's
no hormones that are affected by this and it doesn't
harm the environment or your skin. You want to look
for these non nano type of particles that are they're
too big to be absorbed into your bloodstream. So doctor Bob,
this is the this is the main things that we
(09:18):
want to look at when we're looking at some of
these UV protections. And also you know, you can look
at the labels and see if it doesn't have some
of those ingredients. And it's also labeled as like broad
spectrum that protects against UV A and UVB type of rays.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Yeah, very important stuff. You know. Statistically, if you go
back and you look at where sunscreens were starting to
be implemented to try to reduce the excessive exposure of
these rays that are harmful to our skin and our body,
you see a correlation between the level of skin cancer
that took off. So as soon as we started using
(09:57):
more sunscreens, higher levels of skin cancer. And they think
this is related to the toxins that are in these sunscreens.
They also believe it's related to the fact that when
you put so much sunscreen on your body and you're
not getting vitamin D because you're paranoid of getting a suntan.
And we don't recommend sunburns for anybody or baking in
(10:18):
the sun, but small amounts of sun are going to
give you vitamin D which is going to protect you
against skin cancer and other cancers. So when you see
the sunscreens be used, skin cancer's going up. And how
about internal sunscreen? How about using more fruits and veggies
that have the carotenoids in them. And if you don't
want to eat more fruits and veggies to have an
internal sunscreen SPF sun protection factor, how about taking the
(10:41):
supplement as is anthon or taking other supplements that do
the same thing. I'm a big fan of the zinc
oxide personally, when I am out and round the ocean
and I know I'm going to be excessive, that's what
I use. All right, Stay tuned for the health alternativebove
the Week. I'm doctor Bob Martin. You've got health questions, Well,

pick it's a sunscreen so clean you could almost eat it.
Almost don't actually eat it. Say hello to badger bombs.
(13:10):
Reef Safe Mineral Sunscreen SPF forty. It's a superhero of
some protection. Let's break down why this little tube is.
It's a game changer for you. It's got a star
ingredient here. It's a non nano zinc oxide. It's the
gold standard for mineral sunscreens. It forms a physical barrier
(13:31):
against UV A and UVB rays without soaking into your bloodstream.
It's a clean formula. It's got just seven simple ingredients.
None of those fragrances, synthetic fragrances, no oxybenzone, nothing added
in here. It's safe. It's actually REEF Safe, certified safe
(13:51):
for coral reefs. Fish friends approve it, and your skin
will as well. As It's got skin loving extras like
organic sunflower oil in beeswax that help moisturize your skin
while protecting it. It's great for sensitive skin kids and
exema prone folks. The key features here it's water resistance.
(14:12):
You got eighty minutes of surf, sweat or backyard sprinkler
fun with this. It's also got a minimal white cast
on It means you don't look like you're a ghost
when you apply it. And it's also eco friendly with
its recyclable tube and Mother Nature approves this as well
as your skin will. And the badgery also has a
(14:33):
tinted version that's magic for avoiding that ghostly look we
just talked about. It's perfect for that date night or
that zoom meeting where you're pretending you didn't just get
out of the garden for the last three hours. Now,
I want you to try Badger Balm SPF forty this week, maybe,
and let's see those beach ready selfies. You can find
(14:54):
Badger bomb at most finer health food stores, including natural grossers.
It's Badger Balm, your health alternative of the week, Doctor Bob.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Yeah, if you can't find it, or if they're not
lucky enough to have a natural grocery store in their neighborhood,
they can always log onto their website natural Grocers dot com,
Naturalgrocers dot Com and order right from the website. Excellent. Okay,
what else should have Doctor.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Brocker ship right to the door? Okay, So next up
we're gonna go ahead and get right back into UH
call in questions. We have one from It's from Steve
from Houston.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Steve from Houston, Texas. Question is have ed of the
blood float. I'm investigating and considering wave therapy and I
need to find out which therapy has been has been
(15:51):
shown be most effective with antro files. Thank you, all right, Steve.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
That's a that's a great question, and it's one that
many men have that have causes a lot of frustration,
both with the condition in a broader state of the
medical system and treatments for this. You're absolutely right. Despite
the trillions that we spend on healthcare, we always rank
(16:19):
the bottom in these type of things, and this is
one of those lifestyle type of conditions that we want
to create that gives us that quality of life. Now,
about ed or rectile dysfunction, it's often vascular in origin,
meaning there's an issue with blood flow and it can
be a red flag for broader cardiovascular dysfunction. There you
(16:42):
mentioned wave therapy, which we actually have done in my
clinics for years. It's a promising treatment for this. But
I also want to make mention of a couple other things,
like a REGENTDA of medicine. You may look at that.
It's a very effective for things like ED as far
as combining those and we're talking about with a wave therapy.
(17:05):
It's low intensity shock wave therapy. It's shown the strongest
data there is in peer review journals that improves the
blood flow and stimulates new vessel growth. And if you
combine that with that Regenda medicine treatment, you've got a
combination that works really well. And I don't think you
should stop just there. I strongly suggest some lifestyle optimization,
(17:26):
regular exercise, reducing sugar processed foods, and increasing nitric oxide
through things like sun Nutrician's vascular defense. I also suggest
coyolic aged garlic extract. Here it shows that it helps
that arterial elasticity in blood pressure with garlic. And if
(17:46):
you take more of that holistic approach, we just gave
you some clues there. I think it addresses the root
problem and not just the symptom of the ED.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Doctor Bob, I think most people, most men who have
erect out as function can improve without having to use
these drugs that have side effects. Whether it be viagraa
lebitrice cialis, they all have side effects. And one of
the side effects that men really get sturboers that it
(18:17):
can disorient their ability to see colors, and if they're
going through an intersection and they can't discern between red,
yellow or a green light, that could be pretty disastrous.
So it's having an effect and negative effect on your
visual field. Many men complain of that. There are other
adverse side effects of these drugs, so I don't recommend
(18:39):
them at all. But one thing we know about men
who have erect out its function, they should not smoke cigarettes. Smokers,
by the way, make terrible lovers. I'm told I've never smoked,
so i can't know that, but I've been told that
by many patients. Alcohol also a killer of sex drive
when it's you excessively. Stress is a big factor in
(19:04):
erect out its function that you may not realize. There's
some great herbs that you can use or try to
use to see if they can help, like red gensing
terry naturally vitamins has a great red gensing product. Also,
the herb Maka has been used extensively, and all the
(19:24):
other information that doctor Rockman just mentioned. You put that
into action and if you are like most people who
have ed, this should get better and you'll see the
results relatively fast. All right, appreciate your phone call.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
All right, doctor Bob, We're coming up pretty quick on
a break here. But I also want to throw out,
you know, if callers have questions about things like Steve
and ED and you're like, hey, what is Regenda medicine

one eight hundred and six zero six eighty eight twenty two.
And before we get back to doctor Brockman, he's going
to be delivering very shortly here this week's installment of
the Health Outrage of the Week. I want to tell
you once again, we're finding that nature helps us to
leverage foods, as our medicine and nutritional supplements as ways
(22:25):
to fill in the gaps of nutrients that we may
not otherwise be getting through our food and to help
counter the stresses and strains that were under every single day,
from gravity to poor food and toxic exposure to environmental
elements that some of us just don't have control of.
(22:45):
And that leads me to one of the latest breakthroughs
in nutritional science. It's called pea for short. It is
a nutrient just like green pea. Yeah, it's like that pea.
It stands for palmitoy ethanolamine. You don't have to worry
about that. Just remember pea for short, the special nutrient
(23:06):
that's found in very very minute or minute quantities in
certain foods like for example, egg yolks have pea in them,
but you had to eat a bunch of them like
almost like twenty or thirty to get a therapeutic dose
of it. But the science and the research is now
showing that pea, the substance can address when you take
(23:27):
it in a supplemental form, can address helping you to
recover quicker with muscle pain and arthritic symptoms, and improve
your mobility and your range of motion, even your cognitive health,
and a multitude of other concerns including listen to this.
The supplement pea is found to help people with allergies
and respiratory symptoms and even what we were talking about
(23:48):
earlier in the show, fibromyalgia. Because of its anti inflammatory
action pea, the researchers have investigated its ability to relieve
pain in a variety of conditions including sciatica, neuropathy. Even
jaw pain TMJ is able to be helped with this
pea supplement. Plus, the scientific research has shown that it
(24:11):
helps the most common form of osteoarthritis. Pea lowered inflammatory
markers in blood tests, proving that it works. That reduces
the damage that occurs between the bones in the cartilage.
So if you've got problems with your joints, if you've
got pain, if you've got some other health related issue
(24:31):
that you heard me talk about here, why not try pea,
the supplement from Terry Naturally Vitamins. Terry Naturally Vitamins produces
and provides in the marketplace. Pea is a supplementarily both
acute and chronic health problems, including pain and physical problems
injuries that you had. It even helps mood and focus.
(24:54):
But who wouldn't feel better with their mood and focus
if they weren't in pain? Take pea, Hey, Terry Naturally Vitamins,
you'll find pea and find your health food stores nationwide.
Or you can go to the website Terry Naturally Vitamins
dot com. That's Terry Naturally Vitamins dot com to find
(25:14):
the supplement p e A. All right, doctor Brockman, what
do you have for the health outrage of the week? Sir,
don't believe it. Come on Easter for the health outrage
because it's nothing.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
But this week's health outrage is another case of profits
over patients, this time the nursing home. So listeners, hold
on to your walkers. It's doctor Adam Brockman here with
a health outrage so so shocking it'll make your blood
(25:54):
pressure spike higher than the CEO's bonus. At United Healthcare,
this bombshell Guardian News investigation revealed our nation's largest health
care conglomerate has been secretly paying nursing homes to keep
sick residents out of hospitals. It's another case putting profits
over patients in the most heartless healthcare scheme since death
(26:17):
panels were just a political myth. Here's the dirty details.
It's cash for no care. United health has paid nursing
home bonuses for every hospitalization that they prevented. It's delaying
critical care, like stroke victims that are left waiting while
corporate insurance decides their care plan. It's creating permanent harm.
(26:39):
Here at least there's examples of many, but at least
one resident now lives with brain damage after delayed transferred
has made it his condition with a stroke worse. There's
quotas for death as well. The staff have given budgets
for how many hospitalizations they could spend and not spend.
(27:00):
In the most sinister part here, this wasn't rogue employees,
it was company policy. So the whistleblowers here, The Guardian
revealed United health Care has pressured staff to change DNR
do not resuscitate orders against patients wishes and monitored facilities
with too few do not resuscitate orders. They've trained nurses
(27:23):
to bypass nine to one one into call corporate first
during emergencies. And these human examples here we gave one,
and how about this other one of an elderly stroke
victim told to wait four hours for treatment, a man
with facial drooping a sign of a stroke given aspirin
instead of an er trip, and countless others of denied
(27:47):
care so United Healthcare could pad its three hundred billion
dollar empire. And this terrified should terrify us all. This
isn't just about nursing homes. It's about every Medicare advantage
patient that United Healthcare had. Unite Healthcare has turned our
grandparents into profit centers. While collecting full Medicare payments from
(28:08):
the government, they slash the actual care cost and then
they bank the difference. Here, no corporation should decide when
Grandma's too expensive to treat. These practices are just outrageous.
This has been your health outrage of the week. Nursing
home profits over the patients.
Speaker 7 (28:29):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
How outrageous can you be? It's almost like seems like
a playbook right out of the AMA and the conventional
medicine political machine, where they doctors will make sure their
patients don't end up going to nature pathic doctors or
chiropractors or homing paths to get the problems fixed that
(28:52):
are benign and self limiting, that are not life threatening.
But rather than that, rather than refer them out, they'll
just keep drug them and managing their problems with pharmaceutical
drugs and maybe even sending them down the road to
the orthopedic surgeon for back surgery that they don't need,
or sending them out for some other procedure that could
(29:12):
have been taken care of conservatively and non surgically and
non drug by somebody who actually has the training and
is able to deliver that form of care. Sounds just
like that doctor Brockman.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
It absolutely does. It's one of those things. It's like, Hey,
we want our we pay in all this time for
Medicare type of benefits, and we want those to be
something that we can actually utilize. But then we have
this just thrown in our face and we're sitting there
and dying right in front of this just because this
corporate greed. So Doctor Bob, we're gonna come back. Got
(29:48):
a couple more calls to try to get through this hour.
You are listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
So you bus number signon the one never single.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
I want to welcome back. You are listening to the
Doctor Bob Martin Show. I am doctor Adam Brockman, your
co pilot on your health journey. We're gonna get to
a product recall really fast and right back to your questions.
(30:47):
So if we can go ahead and queue up the
product recall of the week, All right, folks, I want
you to hold on to your b lts. What we
want to this week. We're gonna talk about what's hiding
in your salad bowl. And we've got a tomato terror
that is turning kitchen counters into danger zones. The FDA
(31:08):
just upgraded a tomato recall to its highest warning level.
That's a Class one, meaning these little red menaces could
cause serious illness or even death. What should be the
star of your summer salads might be plotting against you.
So here's the rotten details. There's a Williams Farm repack.
It's recalling multiple tomato varieties here, there's also a ray
(31:31):
in mascari. It's recalling vine ripe tomatoes that are in
packaged already prepackaged here. All these contaminations are by Salmonila.
It's a bacteria that survives longer than most of our
New Year's resolutions. The danger here is that these toxic
tomatoes have been found in about fifteen states, mostly East
(31:51):
coast southeast in the Midwest. Then it caused symptoms you
just can't ignore. Fever, vomiting, diarrhea. It can turn dead
for kids, elderly, or anyone that has a weakened immune system.
So I want you to investigate your fridge, eliminate any
suspect tomatoes faster than a kid avoiding vegetables at the
(32:12):
dinner table. And I want you to sanitize your surfaces.
Salmon nilla sticks around quite for quite some time. And remember, folks,
when life gives you these recalled tomatoes, don't make saucea
toss them out and live another day. This has been
your product recall of the week, and we're going to
get right into our call in questions. Next up, we
have Beca from Utah.
Speaker 7 (32:34):
Backa Cedar City Utah. My question is what can I take.
I've noticed I'm starting to get spider mains on my
chin and around my nose. Not a lot, but just starting,
and I'd like to know if you can tell me
what I can do to avoid getting anymore. Thanks doctor,
(32:59):
all all right?
Speaker 3 (33:02):
BECA these spider veins, especially on your face, its can
cause by broken capillaries due to maybe oxidative stress, sun damage,
or even hormonal changes. Internally. You want to support these
capillary strength with vitamin C, maybe vitamin E, and then
you can also use some citrus peels for example. And
(33:23):
a great resource as far as supplementation is through sun
nutrition's vascular defense. It helps to strengthen this microvascular system
that's found in these capillaries. You also may want to
take a look at digestive health. Weak liver function or
slow detoxification states can contribute to these visible vein issues.
(33:44):
A liver detox t or bidders before meals may help here.
All right, doctor Bob, I.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Would recommend to beca. There's a formula in the marketplace
that I helped to formulate years and years ago. I
think it's still out. There's called Vanguard Guard capsules and
Vanguard cream and what it has in it are things
that help veins. Basically, you've got horse chestnut extract. You've
got certain nutrients that help the collagen within the body,
(34:15):
the collagen being sort of like the mortar and the
bricks between the bricks. If that mortar breaks down, the
whole wall comes crashing down, So you want that. Vitamin
C helps out of course too, but also pine bark extract,
res veritral flavonoids in general help the body to re
establish a strong center of collagens so that these blood
(34:39):
vessel walls are not so fragile and they don't break
down so easily. And if you do that, I think
you're going to be a whole lot better off. Thanks
for the phone call back.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Okay, let's go ahead and get to Loretta from Iowa.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
Laletta from Marion, Iowa. I listened to your show all
the time, and I thank you very much for putting
out this information for us. But there's one area that
people have that is not addressed, and that is we
don't have money. Yes, there are a lot of functional doctors,
there are alternative medicines, but insurance won't help pay for it.
(35:19):
And those of us that are below a certain economic
level cannot afford to pay for these doctors and purchase supplements,
and we have no help. Furthermore, the other thing the
medical industry does. If you are a parent and you
refuse vaccines, it's not unusual for the doctor or the
(35:39):
clinic to refuse to see you and your child anymore.
I have a couple of family members who are without
doctors to take care of their children because the doctors
won't see the child until a parent gives into the vaccines. Now,
that also is not addressed. So there's two things. And
now these parents have the money to go to an
(36:01):
alternative doctor, they are very expensive. So it's a conundrum
for some of us, and I don't know what you
know we can do about it.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
All right, that's a great question and comment there, Loretta,
And yeah, you've touched on something so real. This show
exists because we believe access to real health solutions should
not be a luxury functional in natural medicine care, it
can be expensive, and sadly insurance sometimes doesn't cover it,
but we always try to share the most cost effective tools,
(36:35):
many which are free nutritional advice, lifestyle advice, stress management,
and we try to include some supplements that are at
a very reasonable cost to you the consumer. We'd love
to touch this on this topic a little bit more,
and we may be able to touch on it briefly,
Doctor Bob after the break, you're listening to the Doctor
(36:56):
Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
And hopefully natural medicine whenever applicable. Welcome or welcome back
to the Doctor Bob Martin Show with me as doctor
Adam Brockman, co host and executive director of the program. Now,
Doctor Brockman, that last response to the caller, I must
respond to this. You know that really irks me when
I hear somebody calling to the program and they suggest
(37:47):
that one of their relatives was refused care because the
doctor did not want to go along with the patient's wishes. Well,
first of all, you got to realize the relationship is
that patients are the employer and the doctors are your employees.
They work for you, not the other way around. Now,
(38:09):
whoever these people are that refuse care just because they
won't go along with vaccines that they know little or
nothing about, realize that about fifty percent of the income
that pediatricians receive comes from the whole vaccine dance from
the cradle to the grave. And when a doctor refuses
(38:31):
care just because you won't accept the vaccines, the reason
for that it's financial. The drug companies incentivize doctors to
do a full vaccine schedule all the way up to
age eighteen, and if they miss any of those vaccines,
that is a financial loss for the doctor. So they're
on board with bullying people into getting it, you know,
(38:53):
even though some of them won't even give those to
their own children themselves. So it's a complete skill in
my opinion, and it's unethical to refuse care. The doctor
should just say, okay, fine, sign this form that says
it's a disclaimer. You've chosen not to have the vaccines.
That's fine as long as you understand I'm recommending it
and you're disagreeing with it. We can still be friends
(39:15):
and I'll still be your doctor. But no, they want
the money now, and that's why they refuse. The other
thing with expensive care, it's true that care that gives
you actually healthcare rather than just drugs that insurance companies
are willing to just bend over and pay for. It
can be costly because most of them are chronic by
(39:35):
the time people realize that medical care has such limitations
associated with it, and now they've dug themselves into such
a hole that they need a whole bunch of care,
which can be expensive. Best thing you can do if
you've got these chronic problems and you can't afford to
see a functional medicine doctor or somebody who can guide
you is to get books. There are books that can
(39:56):
cost you maybe twenty dollars or thirty or forty dollars.
Read the books. There's recipes, dietary recipes, and nutritional protocols
in there, all kinds of beneficial material and knowledge and
information that you can then rally into helping yourself out
with maybe being your own best doctor most of the
(40:20):
time by gaining that information. The knowledge is available at
sitting there. And then you also have a course doctor Google,
which I'm not saying take everything one, but at least
investigate it and then compare and contrast to what you
learn inside books of people that you know and respect.
All right, appreciate phone call though, doctor Adam Rockman. Thank
(40:42):

things health related news. All right, doctor Adam Brockman, Hello, doctor, Hello,
you sir, have been telling me about an interesting bit
of information. You send it over to me, and I
want you to share that health information with the audience.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah, doctor Bob. Today, let's tackle a topic. It's hotter
than a jalapeno on a July grill. It's a sunburn
in UV damage. Now. I know most listeners are probably
rolling their eyes already, saying, not another sunscreen lecture. Well,
let me promise you this isn't just about slapping on
that lotion. We're going to talk about UV rays. Maybe
(03:47):
throw in some coral reef drama and some shocking ingredients
that are hiding in that beach bag. So I want
to go ahead and dive in here. And UV radiation
is the ultimate stealth attacker. Can't see it, but it's
still there. So here's a breakdown on each of these rays.
We got these UVA rays. These are the aging assassins.
(04:08):
They penetrate windows, they go through clouds and even your
car windshield. It breaks down your collagen and it causes wrinkles.
So if we're thinking of UVA, we're thinking of it
A is for aging. But I'd like to leave today
with some ways for anti aging. And next up we
have these UV B rays. These are the if you
(04:31):
use B for burn, these are the burn bandits. These
are the guys why if you turn into a lobster
after just like twenty minutes at the pool. They're the
strongest from about ten am to four pm, and this
is prime time for those backyard barbecues and boding. And
then last we got these UVC rays. These are the
(04:52):
ozone layers a problem, and thankfully Earth's atmosphere blocks most
of these for now. That is but doctor Bob, did
you know, so just one blistering sunburn increases your risk
of melanoma and eighty percent of skin aging. If you're
thinking about wrinkles and sunspots is caused by UV exposure.
(05:12):
It's not just normal getting older. And then if we
think about these glass windows that block UVB, but they
don't block the UVA rays, so yes, you can still
get that sun damage during your morning commute. And folks,
sunscreen it's I use it not just as a suggestion,
(05:34):
but a shield. But you've got to use the right
ones and use it correctly. If we're going to break
that down, this SPF sweet spot is a SPF thirty,
it blocks ninety seven percent of UBV rays. And then
if you start to jump up there like for example
SPF fifty, it blocks ninety eight percent. So you're just
(05:55):
getting that extra one with that higher number. So there
you're looking at just mostly marketing by these companies. I
also think we need to apply enough here. If we
look at this like a shot glass size amount for
your entire body, and then for your face maybe like
a nickel size, and those spots that you miss, like
your ears, your lips, and feet, they need some attention
(06:18):
here too, and timing is a lot of this. We
need to apply sunscreen fifteen minutes before sun exposure. This
gives it time to basically block that layer over your
skin and reapply every couple hours. And if you're swimming
or sweating, you need to do that even more. And
(06:38):
clothing is an example here that if we're looking at
UPF fifty plus clothing, it gives a little bit extra armor. Say,
for instance, that compares to a white T shirt which
only has about UPF of five or so, so there's
not much protection there. If you're going to be out
in the sun, you need things like the clothing and
hats even matter here. A three inch rim around or
(07:01):
brim around that of a hat that protects your ears,
your neck, your nose. Baseball caps, which many people think
do help with that may protect your scalp and maybe
a portion of your face, but they don't. They leave
your neck, your ears exposed to the UV rays. Another
article of clothing sunglasses UV rays they cause cataracts in
(07:25):
macular degeneration. If we're looking at these here, you want
to look for ones that got one hundred percent UV
protection and not just the darker the lens nasality doesn't
give you more protection there. Obviously, hydration is important anytime
we're talking about being out in the sun. If you
have sun and then do you have a dehydration, you're
setting yourself up more for heat strokes. It's just waiting
(07:48):
to happen. So if you're in the sun, go ahead
and chug some water. You can add in maybe some
sea salt and splash of coconut water. It adds in
those electrolytes there. And if you look at at your sunscreen,
I want to play a little game of what's hiding
in your sunscreen. Some of these ingredients you don't want
near you. For instance, this first one on the list
(08:12):
is oxybenzone. It's banned in Hawaii in Key West because
it bleaches coral reefs. So if you're thinking about that,
if it bleaches a coral reef, what does it doing
to your skin? Studies link it to hormone disruption and
allergic reaction. And there's also another one here that is
a it's oxygenite. It's found in seventy percent of sunscreens.
(08:36):
It accumulates in a body and it mimics estrogen. It
sounds healthy, maybe with these some of these maybe like
this retinol, but no, it increases a risk of it
skin of cancer when it's exposed to the sunlight there,
but there is some there are some heroes like zinc
oxide and titanium oxide. These are mineral sunscreens that sit
(08:58):
on your skin flex UV like a mirror, so there's
no hormones that are affected by this and it doesn't
harm the environment or your skin. You want to look
for these non nano type of particles that are they're
too big to be absorbed into your bloodstream. So doctor Bob,
this is the this is the main things that we
(09:18):
want to look at when we're looking at some of
these UV protections. And also you know, you can look
at the labels and see if it doesn't have some
of those ingredients. And it's also labeled as like broad
spectrum that protects against UV A and UVB type of rays.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Yeah, very important stuff. You know. Statistically, if you go
back and you look at where sunscreens were starting to
be implemented to try to reduce the excessive exposure of
these rays that are harmful to our skin and our body,
you see a correlation between the level of skin cancer
that took off. So as soon as we started using
(09:57):
more sunscreens, higher levels of skin cancer. And they think
this is related to the toxins that are in these sunscreens.
They also believe it's related to the fact that when
you put so much sunscreen on your body and you're
not getting vitamin D because you're paranoid of getting a suntan.
And we don't recommend sunburns for anybody or baking in
(10:18):
the sun, but small amounts of sun are going to
give you vitamin D which is going to protect you
against skin cancer and other cancers. So when you see
the sunscreens be used, skin cancer's going up. And how
about internal sunscreen? How about using more fruits and veggies
that have the carotenoids in them. And if you don't
want to eat more fruits and veggies to have an
internal sunscreen SPF sun protection factor, how about taking the
(10:41):
supplement as is anthon or taking other supplements that do
the same thing. I'm a big fan of the zinc
oxide personally, when I am out and round the ocean
and I know I'm going to be excessive, that's what
I use. All right, Stay tuned for the health alternativebove
the Week. I'm doctor Bob Martin. You've got health questions, Well,

You know what that sound means. It's time for our
Health Alternative of the Week, where we spotlight products that
make healthy living easier, safer, and way more fun. Today's
pick it's a sunscreen so clean you could almost eat it.
Almost don't actually eat it. Say hello to badger bombs.
(13:10):
Reef Safe Mineral Sunscreen SPF forty. It's a superhero of
some protection. Let's break down why this little tube is.
It's a game changer for you. It's got a star
ingredient here. It's a non nano zinc oxide. It's the
gold standard for mineral sunscreens. It forms a physical barrier
(13:31):
against UV A and UVB rays without soaking into your bloodstream.
It's a clean formula. It's got just seven simple ingredients.
None of those fragrances, synthetic fragrances, no oxybenzone, nothing added
in here. It's safe. It's actually REEF Safe, certified safe

will as well. As It's got skin loving extras like
organic sunflower oil in beeswax that help moisturize your skin
while protecting it. It's great for sensitive skin kids and
exema prone folks. The key features here it's water resistance.
(14:12):
You got eighty minutes of surf, sweat or backyard sprinkler
fun with this. It's also got a minimal white cast
on It means you don't look like you're a ghost
when you apply it. And it's also eco friendly with
its recyclable tube and Mother Nature approves this as well
as your skin will. And the badgery also has a
(14:33):
tinted version that's magic for avoiding that ghostly look we
just talked about. It's perfect for that date night or
that zoom meeting where you're pretending you didn't just get
out of the garden for the last three hours. Now,
I want you to try Badger Balm SPF forty this week, maybe,
and let's see those beach ready selfies. You can find
(14:54):
Badger bomb at most finer health food stores, including natural grossers.
It's Badger Balm, your health alternative of the week, Doctor Bob.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Yeah, if you can't find it, or if they're not
lucky enough to have a natural grocery store in their neighborhood,
they can always log onto their website natural Grocers dot com,
Naturalgrocers dot Com and order right from the website. Excellent. Okay,
what else should have Doctor.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Brocker ship right to the door? Okay, So next up
we're gonna go ahead and get right back into UH
call in questions. We have one from It's from Steve
from Houston.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Steve from Houston, Texas. Question is have ed of the
blood float. I'm investigating and considering wave therapy and I
need to find out which therapy has been has been
(15:51):
shown be most effective with antro files. Thank you, all right, Steve.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
That's a that's a great question, and it's one that
many men have that have causes a lot of frustration,
both with the condition in a broader state of the
medical system and treatments for this. You're absolutely right. Despite
the trillions that we spend on healthcare, we always rank
(16:19):
the bottom in these type of things, and this is
one of those lifestyle type of conditions that we want
to create that gives us that quality of life. Now,
about ed or rectile dysfunction, it's often vascular in origin,
meaning there's an issue with blood flow and it can
be a red flag for broader cardiovascular dysfunction. There you
(16:42):
mentioned wave therapy, which we actually have done in my
clinics for years. It's a promising treatment for this. But
I also want to make mention of a couple other things,
like a REGENTDA of medicine. You may look at that.
It's a very effective for things like ED as far
as combining those and we're talking about with a wave therapy.
(17:05):
It's low intensity shock wave therapy. It's shown the strongest
data there is in peer review journals that improves the
blood flow and stimulates new vessel growth. And if you
combine that with that Regenda medicine treatment, you've got a
combination that works really well. And I don't think you
should stop just there. I strongly suggest some lifestyle optimization,
(17:26):
regular exercise, reducing sugar processed foods, and increasing nitric oxide
through things like sun Nutrician's vascular defense. I also suggest
coyolic aged garlic extract. Here it shows that it helps
that arterial elasticity in blood pressure with garlic. And if
(17:46):
you take more of that holistic approach, we just gave
you some clues there. I think it addresses the root
problem and not just the symptom of the ED.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Doctor Bob, I think most people, most men who have
erect out as function can improve without having to use
these drugs that have side effects. Whether it be viagraa
lebitrice cialis, they all have side effects. And one of
the side effects that men really get sturboers that it
(18:17):
can disorient their ability to see colors, and if they're
going through an intersection and they can't discern between red,
yellow or a green light, that could be pretty disastrous.
So it's having an effect and negative effect on your
visual field. Many men complain of that. There are other
adverse side effects of these drugs, so I don't recommend
(18:39):
them at all. But one thing we know about men
who have erect out its function, they should not smoke cigarettes. Smokers,
by the way, make terrible lovers. I'm told I've never smoked,
so i can't know that, but I've been told that
by many patients. Alcohol also a killer of sex drive
when it's you excessively. Stress is a big factor in
(19:04):
erect out its function that you may not realize. There's
some great herbs that you can use or try to
use to see if they can help, like red gensing
terry naturally vitamins has a great red gensing product. Also,
the herb Maka has been used extensively, and all the
(19:24):
other information that doctor Rockman just mentioned. You put that
into action and if you are like most people who
have ed, this should get better and you'll see the
results relatively fast. All right, appreciate your phone call.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
All right, doctor Bob, We're coming up pretty quick on
a break here. But I also want to throw out,
you know, if callers have questions about things like Steve
and ED and you're like, hey, what is Regenda medicine
or what is shockwave therapy? Feel free to go ahead

one eight hundred and six zero six eighty eight twenty two.
And before we get back to doctor Brockman, he's going
to be delivering very shortly here this week's installment of
the Health Outrage of the Week. I want to tell
you once again, we're finding that nature helps us to
leverage foods, as our medicine and nutritional supplements as ways
(22:25):
to fill in the gaps of nutrients that we may
not otherwise be getting through our food and to help
counter the stresses and strains that were under every single day,
from gravity to poor food and toxic exposure to environmental
elements that some of us just don't have control of.
(22:45):
And that leads me to one of the latest breakthroughs
in nutritional science. It's called pea for short. It is
a nutrient just like green pea. Yeah, it's like that pea.
It stands for palmitoy ethanolamine. You don't have to worry
about that. Just remember pea for short, the special nutrient
(23:06):
that's found in very very minute or minute quantities in
certain foods like for example, egg yolks have pea in them,
but you had to eat a bunch of them like
almost like twenty or thirty to get a therapeutic dose
of it. But the science and the research is now
showing that pea, the substance can address when you take
(23:27):
it in a supplemental form, can address helping you to
recover quicker with muscle pain and arthritic symptoms, and improve
your mobility and your range of motion, even your cognitive health,
and a multitude of other concerns including listen to this.
The supplement pea is found to help people with allergies
and respiratory symptoms and even what we were talking about
(23:48):
earlier in the show, fibromyalgia. Because of its anti inflammatory
action pea, the researchers have investigated its ability to relieve
pain in a variety of conditions including sciatica, neuropathy. Even
jaw pain TMJ is able to be helped with this
pea supplement. Plus, the scientific research has shown that it
(24:11):
helps the most common form of osteoarthritis. Pea lowered inflammatory
markers in blood tests, proving that it works. That reduces
the damage that occurs between the bones in the cartilage.
So if you've got problems with your joints, if you've
got pain, if you've got some other health related issue
(24:31):
that you heard me talk about here, why not try pea,
the supplement from Terry Naturally Vitamins. Terry Naturally Vitamins produces
and provides in the marketplace. Pea is a supplementarily both
acute and chronic health problems, including pain and physical problems
injuries that you had. It even helps mood and focus.
(24:54):
But who wouldn't feel better with their mood and focus
if they weren't in pain? Take pea, Hey, Terry Naturally Vitamins,
you'll find pea and find your health food stores nationwide.
Or you can go to the website Terry Naturally Vitamins
dot com. That's Terry Naturally Vitamins dot com to find
(25:14):
the supplement p e A. All right, doctor Brockman, what
do you have for the health outrage of the week? Sir,
don't believe it. Come on Easter for the health outrage
because it's nothing.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
But this week's health outrage is another case of profits
over patients, this time the nursing home. So listeners, hold
on to your walkers. It's doctor Adam Brockman here with
a health outrage so so shocking it'll make your blood
(25:54):
pressure spike higher than the CEO's bonus. At United Healthcare,
this bombshell Guardian News investigation revealed our nation's largest health
care conglomerate has been secretly paying nursing homes to keep
sick residents out of hospitals. It's another case putting profits
over patients in the most heartless healthcare scheme since death
(26:17):
panels were just a political myth. Here's the dirty details.
It's cash for no care. United health has paid nursing
home bonuses for every hospitalization that they prevented. It's delaying
critical care, like stroke victims that are left waiting while
corporate insurance decides their care plan. It's creating permanent harm.
(26:39):
Here at least there's examples of many, but at least
one resident now lives with brain damage after delayed transferred
has made it his condition with a stroke worse. There's
quotas for death as well. The staff have given budgets
for how many hospitalizations they could spend and not spend.
(27:00):
In the most sinister part here, this wasn't rogue employees,
it was company policy. So the whistleblowers here, The Guardian
revealed United health Care has pressured staff to change DNR
do not resuscitate orders against patients wishes and monitored facilities
with too few do not resuscitate orders. They've trained nurses
(27:23):
to bypass nine to one one into call corporate first
during emergencies. And these human examples here we gave one,
and how about this other one of an elderly stroke
victim told to wait four hours for treatment, a man
with facial drooping a sign of a stroke given aspirin
instead of an er trip, and countless others of denied
(27:47):
care so United Healthcare could pad its three hundred billion
dollar empire. And this terrified should terrify us all. This
isn't just about nursing homes. It's about every Medicare advantage
patient that United Healthcare had. Unite Healthcare has turned our
grandparents into profit centers. While collecting full Medicare payments from
(28:08):
the government, they slash the actual care cost and then
they bank the difference. Here, no corporation should decide when
Grandma's too expensive to treat. These practices are just outrageous.
This has been your health outrage of the week. Nursing
home profits over the patients.
Speaker 7 (28:29):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
How outrageous can you be? It's almost like seems like
a playbook right out of the AMA and the conventional
medicine political machine, where they doctors will make sure their
patients don't end up going to nature pathic doctors or
chiropractors or homing paths to get the problems fixed that
(28:52):
are benign and self limiting, that are not life threatening.
But rather than that, rather than refer them out, they'll
just keep drug them and managing their problems with pharmaceutical
drugs and maybe even sending them down the road to
the orthopedic surgeon for back surgery that they don't need,
or sending them out for some other procedure that could
(29:12):
have been taken care of conservatively and non surgically and
non drug by somebody who actually has the training and
is able to deliver that form of care. Sounds just
like that doctor Brockman.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
It absolutely does. It's one of those things. It's like, Hey,
we want our we pay in all this time for
Medicare type of benefits, and we want those to be
something that we can actually utilize. But then we have
this just thrown in our face and we're sitting there
and dying right in front of this just because this
corporate greed. So Doctor Bob, we're gonna come back. Got
(29:48):
a couple more calls to try to get through this hour.
You are listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
So you bus number signon the one never single.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
I want to welcome back. You are listening to the
Doctor Bob Martin Show. I am doctor Adam Brockman, your
co pilot on your health journey. We're gonna get to
a product recall really fast and right back to your questions.
(30:47):
So if we can go ahead and queue up the
product recall of the week, All right, folks, I want
you to hold on to your b lts. What we
want to this week. We're gonna talk about what's hiding
in your salad bowl. And we've got a tomato terror
that is turning kitchen counters into danger zones. The FDA
(31:08):
just upgraded a tomato recall to its highest warning level.
That's a Class one, meaning these little red menaces could
cause serious illness or even death. What should be the
star of your summer salads might be plotting against you.
So here's the rotten details. There's a Williams Farm repack.
It's recalling multiple tomato varieties here, there's also a ray
(31:31):
in mascari. It's recalling vine ripe tomatoes that are in
packaged already prepackaged here. All these contaminations are by Salmonila.
It's a bacteria that survives longer than most of our
New Year's resolutions. The danger here is that these toxic
tomatoes have been found in about fifteen states, mostly East
(31:51):
coast southeast in the Midwest. Then it caused symptoms you
just can't ignore. Fever, vomiting, diarrhea. It can turn dead
for kids, elderly, or anyone that has a weakened immune system.
So I want you to investigate your fridge, eliminate any
suspect tomatoes faster than a kid avoiding vegetables at the
(32:12):
dinner table. And I want you to sanitize your surfaces.
Salmon nilla sticks around quite for quite some time. And remember, folks,
when life gives you these recalled tomatoes, don't make saucea
toss them out and live another day. This has been
your product recall of the week, and we're going to
get right into our call in questions. Next up, we
have Beca from Utah.
Speaker 7 (32:34):
Backa Cedar City Utah. My question is what can I take.
I've noticed I'm starting to get spider mains on my
chin and around my nose. Not a lot, but just starting,
and I'd like to know if you can tell me
what I can do to avoid getting anymore. Thanks doctor,
(32:59):
all all right?
Speaker 3 (33:02):
BECA these spider veins, especially on your face, its can
cause by broken capillaries due to maybe oxidative stress, sun damage,
or even hormonal changes. Internally. You want to support these
capillary strength with vitamin C, maybe vitamin E, and then
you can also use some citrus peels for example. And
(33:23):
a great resource as far as supplementation is through sun
nutrition's vascular defense. It helps to strengthen this microvascular system
that's found in these capillaries. You also may want to
take a look at digestive health. Weak liver function or
slow detoxification states can contribute to these visible vein issues.
(33:44):
A liver detox t or bidders before meals may help here.
All right, doctor Bob, I.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Would recommend to beca. There's a formula in the marketplace
that I helped to formulate years and years ago. I
think it's still out. There's called Vanguard Guard capsules and
Vanguard cream and what it has in it are things
that help veins. Basically, you've got horse chestnut extract. You've
got certain nutrients that help the collagen within the body,
(34:15):
the collagen being sort of like the mortar and the
bricks between the bricks. If that mortar breaks down, the
whole wall comes crashing down, So you want that. Vitamin
C helps out of course too, but also pine bark extract,
res veritral flavonoids in general help the body to re
establish a strong center of collagens so that these blood
(34:39):
vessel walls are not so fragile and they don't break
down so easily. And if you do that, I think
you're going to be a whole lot better off. Thanks
for the phone call back.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Okay, let's go ahead and get to Loretta from Iowa.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
Laletta from Marion, Iowa. I listened to your show all
the time, and I thank you very much for putting
out this information for us. But there's one area that
people have that is not addressed, and that is we
don't have money. Yes, there are a lot of functional doctors,
there are alternative medicines, but insurance won't help pay for it.
(35:19):
And those of us that are below a certain economic
level cannot afford to pay for these doctors and purchase supplements,
and we have no help. Furthermore, the other thing the
medical industry does. If you are a parent and you
refuse vaccines, it's not unusual for the doctor or the
(35:39):
clinic to refuse to see you and your child anymore.
I have a couple of family members who are without
doctors to take care of their children because the doctors
won't see the child until a parent gives into the vaccines. Now,
that also is not addressed. So there's two things. And
now these parents have the money to go to an
(36:01):
alternative doctor, they are very expensive. So it's a conundrum
for some of us, and I don't know what you
know we can do about it.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
All right, that's a great question and comment there, Loretta,
And yeah, you've touched on something so real. This show
exists because we believe access to real health solutions should
not be a luxury functional in natural medicine care, it
can be expensive, and sadly insurance sometimes doesn't cover it,
but we always try to share the most cost effective tools,
(36:35):
many which are free nutritional advice, lifestyle advice, stress management,
and we try to include some supplements that are at
a very reasonable cost to you the consumer. We'd love
to touch this on this topic a little bit more,
and we may be able to touch on it briefly,
Doctor Bob after the break, you're listening to the Doctor
(36:56):
Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
And hopefully natural medicine whenever applicable. Welcome or welcome back
to the Doctor Bob Martin Show with me as doctor
Adam Brockman, co host and executive director of the program. Now,
Doctor Brockman, that last response to the caller, I must
respond to this. You know that really irks me when
I hear somebody calling to the program and they suggest
(37:47):
that one of their relatives was refused care because the
doctor did not want to go along with the patient's wishes. Well,
first of all, you got to realize the relationship is
that patients are the employer and the doctors are your employees.
They work for you, not the other way around. Now,
(38:09):
whoever these people are that refuse care just because they
won't go along with vaccines that they know little or
nothing about, realize that about fifty percent of the income
that pediatricians receive comes from the whole vaccine dance from
the cradle to the grave. And when a doctor refuses
(38:31):
care just because you won't accept the vaccines, the reason
for that it's financial. The drug companies incentivize doctors to
do a full vaccine schedule all the way up to
age eighteen, and if they miss any of those vaccines,
that is a financial loss for the doctor. So they're
on board with bullying people into getting it, you know,
(38:53):
even though some of them won't even give those to
their own children themselves. So it's a complete skill in
my opinion, and it's unethical to refuse care. The doctor
should just say, okay, fine, sign this form that says
it's a disclaimer. You've chosen not to have the vaccines.
That's fine as long as you understand I'm recommending it
and you're disagreeing with it. We can still be friends
(39:15):
and I'll still be your doctor. But no, they want
the money now, and that's why they refuse. The other
thing with expensive care, it's true that care that gives
you actually healthcare rather than just drugs that insurance companies
are willing to just bend over and pay for. It
can be costly because most of them are chronic by
(39:35):
the time people realize that medical care has such limitations
associated with it, and now they've dug themselves into such
a hole that they need a whole bunch of care,
which can be expensive. Best thing you can do if
you've got these chronic problems and you can't afford to
see a functional medicine doctor or somebody who can guide
you is to get books. There are books that can
(39:56):
cost you maybe twenty dollars or thirty or forty dollars.
Read the books. There's recipes, dietary recipes, and nutritional protocols
in there, all kinds of beneficial material and knowledge and
information that you can then rally into helping yourself out
with maybe being your own best doctor most of the
(40:20):
time by gaining that information. The knowledge is available at
sitting there. And then you also have a course doctor Google,
which I'm not saying take everything one, but at least
investigate it and then compare and contrast to what you
learn inside books of people that you know and respect.
All right, appreciate phone call though, doctor Adam Rockman. Thank
(40:42):
you very much, sir. We'll talk to you soon, and
the rest of you. Please make it a healthy day
and a healthy week. You've been tuned into the Doctor
Bob Martin Show. Be well,
