Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know, we didn't play a lot of audio from
over the Big Beautiful Bill, but one that I haven't found.
I can't stand to hear her voice. So ramon, I'm
going to tell you when to play this, and can
you play fifteen seconds of audio something you know, simple man,
something nice, and then play her and just hit the
(00:20):
danger when you're done, and I'll come back in the
room because I just I can't bear to hear her
voice again. It's just such a screeching nap. I can't
I know people that are married to women like this. Ah,
can you imagine? So, Senator Pocahonta said, President Trump's Big
Beautiful Bill helps his billionaire friends at the expense of
the working class. Look, there are lots of things to
criticize the bill for, but that ain't one of them.
(00:43):
Or ramone, give me fifteen seconds to get to the restroom,
then you can play it and ding when you're done,
I'll come back.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
These guys are actually out there making history by taking
away from hard working families, from people down on their luck,
from seniors, from little babies, so that a handful of
billionaires and corporate CEOs can get more giveaways from the government.
That is the Republican plan. Billionaires win, everyone else loses.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I happen to know a few billionaires, and let me
tell you something. None of them work for tips, none
of them get paid hourly, none of them work overtime.
Let me say something. Rich people don't get paid salaries.
If you are being paid a salary, you don't have wealth.
You might have some income. You're doing better than other
(01:41):
people if you've got a big one. But if you're
getting paid a salary or a bonus or anything of
the sort, you're being taxed at forty percent or close
enough to it. The rich have money, they don't get
a paycheck. They invested and they make money off of
(02:01):
those investments, and mostly they reinvest that because they don't
need the cash. And of what they make they pay
fifteen percent, not the forty percent. That's a capital gain.
It's a gain on their capital they've invested, so they
will spend their energy increasing the value of their capital,
(02:22):
usually the company that they own, and that company being
worth more. And then when they sell that that is
a capital gain. And when they realize that gain that
means hash it out to spend it. They only have
to pay fifteen percent of it. God, if you wanted
to change something, this was what Trump said. If you
wanted to change something, what you would change is capital
(02:43):
gains would be equal to the highest income tax bracket.
The minute you did that, you'd bring the income tax
bracket down because rich people would be really upset. Now,
rich people don't mind high income taxes. And this is
what nobody seems to understand. You know why they don't
mind income taxes.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
They don't pay them.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
They don't get income in the way that you do.
They don't get a W two or a ten ninety eight.
They earn capital games. There are wealthy people who in
a year will not pull out any capital gain. They
don't need to. You think about that, and what they
(03:26):
do they it's fifteen percent, drive it up to whatever
it is, thirty seven or forty percent, drive it up
with all everybody else what high earners are making. But
high earners are not influential people. Influential people the Warren
Buffets of the world. Those people live off capital gains,
not facts. Now they's Secretary Warren Buffett Buffett. Warren Buffett
(03:47):
loves to tell the story that he pays less percentage
in taxes than his secretary does Okay, there's a provision.
You can write a check to the government. You can
pay the same percentage of your income. His income is
off capital gains, not off the salary. Does that make
sense to folks? And by the way, everybody knows this.
When they talk about billionaires, they all know this. They talk,
(04:09):
we don't want millionaires and billionaire. If you cared about
millionaires and billionaires, all you would have to do is
is change the capital gains tax rate. But guess what,
Really rich people, billionaires favored Democrats more than Republicans. You
know why, because they're guilt ridden and they're all trying
to keep from having to lose their money to taxes.
Really rich people are so scared of losing their money.
(04:31):
You wouldn't believe how scared they are of losing their money.
They're more scared of losing their money than you are
losing what little bit you've got. And you're far more
likely to lose what little bit you've got than they
are to lose theirs. In fact, that whole point that
we're talking about. Dave Chappelle explained why Donald Trump won
(04:52):
by what he said in the debate, and Chappelle is
dead on. Trump was straightforward on this. Hillary Clinton knows
exactly what the tax laws are and she chose to
never address it on purpose.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
And I'm watching the news now that declaring the end
of the Trump era. Now, okay, I can see how
in New York you might believe this is the end
of his era. I'm just being honest with you. I
live in Ohio amongst the poor whites. A lot of
you don't understand why Trump was so popular, but I
get it because I hear it every day. He's very loved.
(05:25):
And the reason he's loved is because people in Ohio
have never seen somebody like him. He's what I call
an honestly on Well, I'm not joking right now, he's
an honest lier. That first debate, that first debate, I've
never seen anything like it. I've never seen a white
male billionaire screaming at the top of his lungs. This
(05:46):
whole system is wrented, he said, and across the stage
was a white woman, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama sitting
over looking at him, like, no, it's not I said,
Now wait a minute, bro, it's what he said, and
the moderator said, well, Trump, in fact, the system is rigged,
as he suggest, what would be your evidence? You remember
(06:07):
what he said, broke? He said, I know the system
is rigged because I use it. I said, damn. And
then he pulled out an Illuminati membership called choproline a
cocaine up and put it ride into Perta. No one
(06:29):
I ever heard someone say something that true. And then
Hillary cun tried to punch me into taxes. She said,
this man doesn't pay his taxes. He shot right back,
that makes me smart. And then he said, if you
want me to pay my taxes, then change the tax code.
But I know you won't because your friends and your
(06:50):
donors enjoy the same tax breaks that I do. And
with that, my friends, the star was born. No one
had ever seen anything like that. No one had ever
seen somebody come from inside of that house outside until
all the commons, we are doing everything that you think
we are doing inside of that house. They just want
(07:12):
right back in the house and start playing a game again.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Love Disney Productions, The Love Budd Stan Joe, this has
been race driver, Michael Barry, Funny Hacker.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
That's Roman Duck.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
King of Deans suggested for general audiences, My entire childhood
was marked with horrible, horrible allergies growing up in Orange
and many of you, I can only speak to Southeast Texas,
but many of you who grew up in this region
experienced the same thing. I had tubes not once, but
(07:46):
twice in my ear, which is basically a culvert, to
get some drainage out of there, and I had a
terrible procedure they no longer do called windows done. There
was a brief period of time around seventy nine or
eighty where they would go in and literally punch holes
in your cheekbones and try to create a culvert there,
the idea being, you know, you're kind of releasing the
dam and letting the snot out of there. It was
(08:07):
extremely painful recovery and it didn't work. And to this day,
when I have anytime scans are done on my face,
the doctors will go, ugh, you had windows Huh yes,
I did, uh yeah, And they don't want to tell me,
but then I tell them I know it was a
terrible procedure. So my entire childhood is marked by these terrible,
(08:27):
terrible allergies. You know, stopped up your eyes running. You know,
it's pollen season right now, those of you who know know,
and a lot of us do.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Well.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I meet my wife when I'm eighteen, she's twenty one.
She's just come from India, and she has no allergies,
and she can't understand why I'm constantly talking about allergies
and blowing my nose and everything else that goes with
this disgusting condition. And she has no allergies, and I'm jealous,
Well low and behold. Over the years, she does develop
some allergies, and unlike me, she does something about it.
(08:58):
So five years ago she discovered this doctor and then
Chris Colosso, and he came highly recommended, and he's a
superstar allergy doctor asthma doctor. So she goes to see him,
and you know, she does all the tests. Everybody's had
those tests done, but she probably had them like me
when you were a kid, and they're much better today.
And she comes home and tells me, you know, she's
(09:18):
allergic to dust mites, which are in a lot of beds.
So we we travel with our own sheets now, and
she's going to start taking these shots. And so she
takes those shots and it took about six months for
her to be completely allergy free and It was one
of those you know, before and after testimonials that you
don't really believe. You figure the person had to be compensated,
(09:40):
but I'm here to tell you it was true. So
she started in on me. This was five years ago,
so within four years, within a year, she just goes
for I think a monthly and she's the happiest person
in the world, and you need to go and I,
you know, I'm a guy. You know, guys, you all
understand we'd rather bitch about it than do anything about it.
So eventually it got so bad and y'all had to
(10:01):
hear me go through this that in late October early November,
I caught an upper respiratory which I do about every
three years or so, I thought, and it was unbearable.
So I, about a month ago, I guess, go to
her doctor and I am already on a path to improvement,
(10:24):
and he identified a number of things for me that
I had no idea And I'm just impressed because I
like people. You know, my neurologist Mohit Kara, he geeks
out on eurological stuff. My cardiologist Stan Duckman, he geeks
out on doctor stuff. I like people who are passionate
about what they do the way Russell Lebarra is about
(10:44):
the functioning of his kitchen or the hiring of people.
So the more I talk to this guy, I was
really fascinated by his passion for this issue that affects
a lot of people. And his clinic is called Advanced
Allergy and Asthmas. It's at the corner of Stella Link
Stella Lincoln Wesland are basically the same street, and Hulcomb
(11:05):
and bel Air are basically the same street that has
changed names. So Wesleyan and Hulcomb or Stella Lincoln, bel Air,
wherever you want to think about it, that's where they
are anyway. So we get to talking about these allergies
and what causes them and all this stuff. And I thought,
I'm fifty four, relatively well read. I ask a lot
of questions and I learned things from him in just
a few meetings that I had no idea about. And
(11:27):
I said, well, let's share that on the air Moon.
So I'm gonna need you to pay attention. Okay, there'll
be a quiz at the end. Doctor Chris Colosso is
his name Colac. Don't try to make sense of it.
It's a Portuguese name, is our guest. Let's start with
this doctor Chris Colosso article in the Chronicle a few
days ago that said, it is pollen season and it's
a bad season. What does that mean for people? Why
(11:51):
does that cause us so many problems when it's pollen season.
Explain it to me like I'm six years old.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
All right, Michael, thank you for having me on the shelf.
And so, and you'll start at the beginning. And so,
an allergy is an abnormal response to something that's not
really harmful to you. And so the body, depending on
your genetics or your environment, decides that it's going to
mount this immune response to something. And then it every
(12:21):
time you get exposed to that, the body decides, hey,
this thing is it affecting me? And I'm going to
fight it. And so that's what they gets allergy. And
so pollen, you know, is ubiquitous and all you know,
Houston has the right amount of humidity and high levels
of pollen that you know, most people tend to have
(12:44):
some level of rhiniis or running nose and ocular symptoms
that means drainage from your eyes and those kinds of things.
When pollen is very high, and so that's that's your
introduction to having our Now most of us, you know,
have a certain level of resilience and that you have
(13:06):
those symptoms and sometimes it's for a day or two
and then you slowly get better. But what happens with
allergy is that it's considered an a topic march. And
so if you start off with one or two things,
and you know, we'll just make up a random amount,
you make one hundred histamine molecules, and histamine is the
(13:26):
chemical that your body secretes. It causes you to have
the itching and the sneezing and the eye itching and
the drainage and post nasal drip and all that kind
of stuff. And you know, the first year, you may
make one hundred histamine molecules, and you know, you can
take a n antihistamine and you do better. And then
you know, with the natural course of the disease, what
(13:47):
happens the following year is you make even more and
you become allergic to more things. And so once you
get on that pathway of this abnormal immune response to
something that's harmless, the body just you know, goes down
the pathway and starts reacting to different pollens, to dust,
(14:07):
to animal veandor to foods, and that's how allarity is.
And so most people within the next week or two,
if you and those who know, no, you're going to
get miserable because once you start seeing you know, I've
just noticed, oh the leaves are already falling. Once that starts,
the oak pollen is going to start. And so most
(14:28):
everyone in Houston knows when you start seeing a little
bit of that yellow stuff on your car, you're going
to get kind of miserable. And so that's what's coming.
And so as you know, over the years, what you
see and most people may you know, have some idea
with this, is that the symptoms initially started, you know,
and they're not so bad, and then the following year
(14:50):
it gets worse, and it gets worse, and then finally
you get to where you're using multiple different medicines in
this and you're still miserable. And so what Ryan Itidas
does is you have all these secretions in your nose
and they have to go somewhere. And so, like you
know what Michael was saying with in his case, in
the old days, they had thought, hey, we'll just cut
(15:11):
out this path and that will help everything drain and
then you'll be better.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Doctor Chris Colosso, Old rut there, old rut there. Our
guest is doctor Chris Glosso. He's an allergy and asthma specialist.
He's now my doctor. He's been my wife's doctor in
a very good one. We'll continue our conversation with him
right in the middle of Polas coming up.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Michael Mary d.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Chris Colosso is our guest. He is my new allergy doctor.
He has been my wife's doctor for five years and
proofs in the pudding. She has had phenomenal results. So
all of the problems she had with allergies are gone
and we are very grateful for it. His his shop
that he is the head of is Advanced Allergy and
(16:01):
Asthma Center, which is over at Wesleyan and Hulcombe you
know where that is, just south of West University. Doctor
Chris Glosso. Let me take you back from you said
that when this pollen comes out, even if we take
an anahistamine, which which dulls down our natural reaction. But
you talked about the symptoms of of what happens the result,
(16:25):
and that's that's not that's the eyes watering. That's why
is the body doing that.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
So the so through evolution allergy initia and I know
there's caveats to this, and you know, the immune system,
the part that's responsible for allergy, they used to think
used to be directed towards parasites, and so that part
(16:54):
of the immune system used to be very active little
against parasites and you know those kinds of pathogens. In
most of the developed world, we don't have that much
parasites to deal with. And so a simple way to
think about it is this, through evolution, this part of
the immune system that was functioning so well to take
(17:16):
care of parasites now sort of has nothing to react to,
and so it starts going down this pathway to find
something to do, if you will. And that's a simplistic
way of looking at it. But now it starts reacting
to allergens and so it once it gets on that path,
it it's sort of thinks that it's protecting you against
(17:40):
this stuff when this stuff is not really.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
And how is I don't understand the purpose of the
mute because how is it it forming all this snot?
How is that ever going to help me?
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Well, you know, it's when you have a lot of
that snot and it's draining out in that kind of thing,
it's it's you know, you've probably not when you're very congested,
you can't breathe, you probably won't get much pollen in there.
And so it's not even a good response, but it's
(18:13):
just the way the body is reacting to it.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Well, no, but that makes actual sense because that would
reduce the amount of pollen that you would continue to get.
It never crossed my mind. So what we're doing now,
go ahead.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
So sometimes when people say, oh, I had fine and
surgery and now they trim my terminents and open me
up and now I can get all this stuff, and
then I feel like it's you know, still making me miserable.
And that's where where it's all open now. And you know,
so it doesn't change the Surgery's not going to change
your immune system.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
So what is the answer. And you've got to get
your immune system to stop reacting in this manner.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Correct And so one of the things that you know
allergies do, or you know that that you're I did right,
And we're jumping the gun here, so we're saying, oh,
I'm not saying that everyone needs shots or something like that.
But if you look at that, what allergy shots and
they've been around for one hundred years, and what allergy
(19:13):
shots is is to try and teach the immune system,
if you will, to not react to what you're allergic to.
And so what we do is you make these you know,
these x racts, which are basically has you know exactly
what you're allergic to, and you give it back to
(19:35):
the patient. Now, you couldn't possibly give them the full
strength shot or you'd kill them because they'd have a
whole body allergic reaction to the shot. And so what
you do is you deluded down one hundred thousand fold
and you give it back to the patient and in
slow incremental doses. And so in that way, you're slowly
(19:56):
introducing the allergen to the body. And what that does
over a period of time is that it starts generating
these cells in the body called T suppress ourselves, and
these T suppress ourselves suppress the immune response to whatever
is in the allergy, to whatever is in the shot.
(20:18):
And so that is why in patients who've done immunotherapy
and those kinds of things, they don't react as strongly.
So when your body sees the pollen the next pollen
season and you've been on shots, it doesn't react as
strongly to the shot to the pollen. And and so,
(20:40):
you know, medications treat symptoms, they don't do anything for
the problem. So the problem sort of festers along in
the background. And and that's why, you know, when we
talked about me and you, you know, I was like, hey,
you know during pollen season, and I do this too,
(21:01):
if I go run around rice. I mean, this is
you know, I try not to do the loop during
oak season, but if I do run around it, I
sometimes have, you know, mild symptoms. I immediately do a
sinus rints and clean out all that pollen so it's
not sitting in my airway in my nasal passage making
(21:21):
me horrible. And that way you just physically do better.
But what allergy shops is to try and tell the body, hey,
stop reacting to this, you know. And so it's trying
to put a hold on your body going down this
wrong pathway of reacting to something that's harmless.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Mary Telly Boden has become nationally famous for the fact
that she criticized the COVID protocols and all those but
before she was famous, and just as that was beginning
to happen, I had her on the show to talk
about a sinus rents because I had seen her. She
had a handle like doctor snot sucker or something something
funny like that. And she made post videos of doing
(22:04):
these sinus rinses and she was a big fan of
But my wife does it. I don't do it as often.
I know I should. I'm just irregular. My wife does
it frequently. But on that point, I know Mary taly
Boden is a huge fan of that. And it sounds
like you are as well I am.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
And so you know, there's so all of the sinus
rinses come from this. So in yoga one hundred years ago,
so in India they know there's a thing called nati
and actually the netty pop comes from nathi, which is
a term in yoga of where you rinse out the
naval passages. And they knew a long time ago that
(22:43):
for whatever reason, if there was inflammation in the nose,
the chest would do bad. And so in patients who
have asthma, and this is you know, a long time
ago in India, they rinsed the nose out and no
one knows if he knew why. Over the last fifteen
(23:04):
to twenty years, we've started to find out that it's
considered the single airway hypothesis, and so if there's inflammation
in one part of the airway, that inflammation will irritate
the whole airway. And so the nose is connected, you know,
to the lungs, and so a lot of people will
experience this when they have sometimes bad sinus infections and
(23:27):
upper restor infections, then they'll have wheezing in those kinds
of things. And that's where you know, physically cleaning out
all that mucus helps. And the other thing that you know,
these rinses do is physically clean out the pollen or
the dust might or whatever, so the antigen is not
(23:49):
just sitting in there, you know, keeping the immune reaction going.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Hold with me for just a doctor. Chris Colasso. He's
at Advance Allergy and Asthma Center, which is Wesleyan and Holcombe.
He's he's we have had great. He needs out you
hear him sneeze, he needs uh. He is our guest.
He's done great for my wife. I've started with him
(24:16):
and I really like his ability to explain these things,
and we will continue having him do that in the
middle of pollen season coming.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Hell, yes, we're gonna take your ar fifteen bet Opaedo
the Michael Very Show.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Hell, Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Doctor Chris Colosso is our guest Advanced Allergy and Asthma Center.
If you can't remember his name or the location, you
can email me. He is not a show sponsor yet.
He doesn't know he's going to be. But he's not
a show sponsor yet. But I will still forward you
or Emily will forward you to their phone numbers so
that you can call and get an appointment if you
want to go have the test done, or you want
(24:53):
to go see him for a consultation, so that you
can connect with him. I'm a big fan because he's
made my wife very healthy and very happy, and that
makes me very happy. So doctor Colosso, let's go back to.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
You.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Uh, you first put my wife on Zyrtec, and we
hear a lot about zertech. Now it's over the counter,
and Zyrtec basically suppresses the body's desire to overreact to
this pollen we see out there all the time. Now,
can you talk through the history of that drug? And
how that has affected your practice.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Zyrtec is an antihistamine, and so initially, you know, when
Zyrtec first came out, it was prescription and so you know,
you couldn't get zyrtec unless you went to the doctor,
you went to the allergist. And so, you know, there's
a couple of things that the or moving the medicine
over the counter has done to the practice of allergy
(25:48):
for us. And it's it's just interesting to see. And
so when you have a lot of histamine around and
you feel miserable and you have drainage and congestion and
you're itching and all that kind of stuff, and you
would have to go to the doctor, and a lot
of times the alogists would say, hey, let's see what
you're allergic to, and they do testing and you know,
(26:11):
find one or two things that was positive and then
sometimes you know, either start you on treatment for that
or do avoidance measures of those kind of things. But
as these drugs have gone, you know, over the counter,
initially we were thought, oh, there's going to be no
need for allergists, but in fact, what we've seen is
(26:33):
that we now tend to pick up patients who are
a lot more serious. So if there was no zertech
when you know, you first start having allergy, and let's
say you're just allergic to dust mites, I'll just use
that as an example, then you know, we would see
the patient and sometimes if they'd get on shots for
(26:56):
dusk mate, then they'd do a lot better. But now
with zert being over the counter, so let's say you
have a mild des smile allergy and then you start
having springtime seas and then you take zyrtech. Zyrtech blocks
hist meine, but it's not aligning, it's not doing anything
or not doing much because the allergy process of you know,
(27:17):
developing allergies to stuff is still going on. And so
what happens is then as long as that zyrtec can
keep blocking the amount of his being released, you'll be okay.
And then you start doing a nose spray for allergy,
and that's over the counter, and in the background, you're
you're you know, developing not in all cases, but in
(27:38):
a lot of cases you're developing more allergy. And so
then what happens is the person, you know, it's almost rare,
almost never that I see a patient who's not tried
zyrtec before or tried nose sprays now or those kind
of things. And so while the zyrtech is helping you,
(28:00):
you know, do okay or control your symptoms, if the
allergy is going on in the background, then you're developing
you know, more allergy. And so it's not atypical for
me to see a patient who has now multiple things
that they're allergic to. So, you know, as in Michael's case,
and since you know we're talking about this, it's it
(28:24):
can be multiple trees and grasses in those kinds of things.
And so in so what we tend to do we say,
you know, as allergies, see patients who are a lot
further along in the allergic process as opposed to you know,
when xerotec and those kind of drugs were prescription based,
(28:45):
because you would just end up seeing the patient earlier.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
But what does that mean, you know that farther along
are your allergies getting worse through time? Is that it's
not just here's there.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
That's exactly right, and how are they getting worse? And
so okay, so that's a very good question. So, and
it's a little bit technical, but in the body, you
have these these chemicals floating around called inter lukens, and
inter lukens sometimes will play a key role. Is if
(29:15):
if you have if you're exposed to analogy and or
you know, let's say we'll just we'll just make up something.
Let's say you're allergic to oak pollen. And when you're
allergic to oak pollen or you have bad allergies, you
have these chemicals flowing around. And then there's many different
numbers of chemicals, but you'll pick the ones important analogy,
(29:37):
and so you have high levels of aisle four, aisle five,
and asle thirteen. Now, when you get exposed to a
pollen in the presence of high if there's a lot
of aisle four, aisle five, aisle thirteen, you're more likely
to make an allergic antibody to it, and so they're
(29:58):
not you know, there's studies that have done that showed this.
Let's say you take a person who's allergic to oak,
and during oak season, you expose them to pecan pollen.
And in another chamber, you take someone who's not allergic
to oak, and you expose them to pecon pollen. And
then three months later you go back and you go
(30:21):
and check the blood and see who has an allergic
antibody to pecan. And interestingly, the person who was allergic
to oak is now allergic to oak and pecon, whereas
the one who wasn't allergic to oak isn't, you know,
necessarily allergic to con. And so allergy tends to beget allergy.
(30:45):
And so that's why that cycle just seems to you know,
once it starts, you tend to start going down that pathway.
And so that is why that is what I meant
is that when we know now see patients who've been
using over the kind of medicines they are already then
tend to be allergic to multiple different things, whereas before
(31:07):
those ween those medications of prescription, you would see those
patients a lot earlier on the disease process.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah, it's it's interesting because living where we live, and
having lived here my entire life, with only some brief
periods of living away, it's something that we grow accustomed to.
My mother had terrible, terrible allergies, My brother had pretty
bad allergies, and mine are not as bad as my
mother's were, but pretty bad. So it's almost something we
grow accustomed to. And so watching my wife's recovery or
(31:37):
healing or improvement, whatever you want to call it. I
almost didn't believe that there was anything that could be
done that could possibly make my life so much better.
But when I saw it with her, I said, my goodness,
that is especially with this, you know, three months of
just horrible and it was affecting my ability to do
the show. I said, Okay, I'm willing to spend the
(32:00):
actual time to go and get something done about this.
Hold with us for just a moment. Chris Colosso is
our guest. That is spelled the LAC. If you want
to go see him, it is Advanced Allergy and Asthma Center.
It's on Grammercy Street, which is over kind of near
(32:22):
Rice University. You could say a little south of West
University if you know where that is. And otherwise you
can email me and I will connect you with their website.
If you want to go make an appointment.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
To see him.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
More of doctor Chris Colosso. In the middle of pollen season,
as we are, blow your nose and we'll have more
come up.
You know, we didn't play a lot of audio from
over the Big Beautiful Bill, but one that I haven't found.
I can't stand to hear her voice. So ramon, I'm
going to tell you when to play this, and can
you play fifteen seconds of audio something you know, simple man,
something nice, and then play her and just hit the
(00:20):
danger when you're done, and I'll come back in the
room because I just I can't bear to hear her
voice again. It's just such a screeching nap. I can't
I know people that are married to women like this. Ah,
can you imagine? So, Senator Pocahonta said, President Trump's Big
Beautiful Bill helps his billionaire friends at the expense of
the working class. Look, there are lots of things to
criticize the bill for, but that ain't one of them.
(00:43):
Or ramone, give me fifteen seconds to get to the restroom,
then you can play it and ding when you're done,
I'll come back.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
These guys are actually out there making history by taking
away from hard working families, from people down on their luck,
from seniors, from little babies, so that a handful of
billionaires and corporate CEOs can get more giveaways from the government.
That is the Republican plan. Billionaires win, everyone else loses.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I happen to know a few billionaires, and let me
tell you something. None of them work for tips, none
of them get paid hourly, none of them work overtime.
Let me say something. Rich people don't get paid salaries.
If you are being paid a salary, you don't have wealth.
You might have some income. You're doing better than other
(01:41):
people if you've got a big one. But if you're
getting paid a salary or a bonus or anything of
the sort, you're being taxed at forty percent or close
enough to it. The rich have money, they don't get
a paycheck. They invested and they make money off of
(02:01):
those investments, and mostly they reinvest that because they don't
need the cash. And of what they make they pay
fifteen percent, not the forty percent. That's a capital gain.
It's a gain on their capital they've invested, so they
will spend their energy increasing the value of their capital,
(02:22):
usually the company that they own, and that company being
worth more. And then when they sell that that is
a capital gain. And when they realize that gain that
means hash it out to spend it. They only have
to pay fifteen percent of it. God, if you wanted
to change something, this was what Trump said. If you
wanted to change something, what you would change is capital
(02:43):
gains would be equal to the highest income tax bracket.
The minute you did that, you'd bring the income tax
bracket down because rich people would be really upset. Now,
rich people don't mind high income taxes. And this is
what nobody seems to understand. You know why they don't
mind income taxes.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
They don't pay them.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
They don't get income in the way that you do.
They don't get a W two or a ten ninety eight.
They earn capital games. There are wealthy people who in
a year will not pull out any capital gain. They
don't need to. You think about that, and what they
(03:26):
do they it's fifteen percent, drive it up to whatever
it is, thirty seven or forty percent, drive it up
with all everybody else what high earners are making. But
high earners are not influential people. Influential people the Warren
Buffets of the world. Those people live off capital gains,
not facts. Now they's Secretary Warren Buffett Buffett. Warren Buffett
(03:47):
loves to tell the story that he pays less percentage
in taxes than his secretary does Okay, there's a provision.
You can write a check to the government. You can
pay the same percentage of your income. His income is
off capital gains, not off the salary. Does that make
sense to folks? And by the way, everybody knows this.
When they talk about billionaires, they all know this. They talk,
(04:09):
we don't want millionaires and billionaire. If you cared about
millionaires and billionaires, all you would have to do is
is change the capital gains tax rate. But guess what,
Really rich people, billionaires favored Democrats more than Republicans. You
know why, because they're guilt ridden and they're all trying
to keep from having to lose their money to taxes.
Really rich people are so scared of losing their money.
(04:31):
You wouldn't believe how scared they are of losing their money.
They're more scared of losing their money than you are
losing what little bit you've got. And you're far more
likely to lose what little bit you've got than they
are to lose theirs. In fact, that whole point that
we're talking about. Dave Chappelle explained why Donald Trump won
(04:52):
by what he said in the debate, and Chappelle is
dead on. Trump was straightforward on this. Hillary Clinton knows
exactly what the tax laws are and she chose to
never address it on purpose.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
And I'm watching the news now that declaring the end
of the Trump era. Now, okay, I can see how
in New York you might believe this is the end
of his era. I'm just being honest with you. I
live in Ohio amongst the poor whites. A lot of
you don't understand why Trump was so popular, but I
get it because I hear it every day. He's very loved.
(05:25):
And the reason he's loved is because people in Ohio
have never seen somebody like him. He's what I call
an honestly on Well, I'm not joking right now, he's
an honest lier. That first debate, that first debate, I've
never seen anything like it. I've never seen a white
male billionaire screaming at the top of his lungs. This
(05:46):
whole system is wrented, he said, and across the stage
was a white woman, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama sitting
over looking at him, like, no, it's not I said,
Now wait a minute, bro, it's what he said, and
the moderator said, well, Trump, in fact, the system is rigged,
as he suggest, what would be your evidence? You remember
(06:07):
what he said, broke? He said, I know the system
is rigged because I use it. I said, damn. And
then he pulled out an Illuminati membership called choproline a
cocaine up and put it ride into Perta. No one
(06:29):
I ever heard someone say something that true. And then
Hillary cun tried to punch me into taxes. She said,
this man doesn't pay his taxes. He shot right back,
that makes me smart. And then he said, if you
want me to pay my taxes, then change the tax code.
But I know you won't because your friends and your
(06:50):
donors enjoy the same tax breaks that I do. And
with that, my friends, the star was born. No one
had ever seen anything like that. No one had ever
seen somebody come from inside of that house outside until
all the commons, we are doing everything that you think
we are doing inside of that house. They just want
(07:12):
right back in the house and start playing a game again.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Love Disney Productions, The Love Budd Stan Joe, this has
been race driver, Michael Barry, Funny Hacker.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
That's Roman Duck.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
King of Deans suggested for general audiences, My entire childhood
was marked with horrible, horrible allergies growing up in Orange
and many of you, I can only speak to Southeast Texas,
but many of you who grew up in this region
experienced the same thing. I had tubes not once, but
(07:46):
twice in my ear, which is basically a culvert, to
get some drainage out of there, and I had a
terrible procedure they no longer do called windows done. There
was a brief period of time around seventy nine or
eighty where they would go in and literally punch holes
in your cheekbones and try to create a culvert there,
the idea being, you know, you're kind of releasing the
dam and letting the snot out of there. It was
(08:07):
extremely painful recovery and it didn't work. And to this day,
when I have anytime scans are done on my face,
the doctors will go, ugh, you had windows Huh yes,
I did, uh yeah, And they don't want to tell me,
but then I tell them I know it was a
terrible procedure. So my entire childhood is marked by these terrible,
(08:27):
terrible allergies. You know, stopped up your eyes running. You know,
it's pollen season right now, those of you who know know,
and a lot of us do.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Well.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I meet my wife when I'm eighteen, she's twenty one.
She's just come from India, and she has no allergies,
and she can't understand why I'm constantly talking about allergies
and blowing my nose and everything else that goes with
this disgusting condition. And she has no allergies, and I'm jealous,
Well low and behold. Over the years, she does develop
some allergies, and unlike me, she does something about it.
(08:58):
So five years ago she discovered this doctor and then
Chris Colosso, and he came highly recommended, and he's a
superstar allergy doctor asthma doctor. So she goes to see him,
and you know, she does all the tests. Everybody's had
those tests done, but she probably had them like me
when you were a kid, and they're much better today.
And she comes home and tells me, you know, she's
(09:18):
allergic to dust mites, which are in a lot of beds.
So we we travel with our own sheets now, and
she's going to start taking these shots. And so she
takes those shots and it took about six months for
her to be completely allergy free and It was one
of those you know, before and after testimonials that you
don't really believe. You figure the person had to be compensated,
(09:40):
but I'm here to tell you it was true. So
she started in on me. This was five years ago,
so within four years, within a year, she just goes
for I think a monthly and she's the happiest person
in the world, and you need to go and I,
you know, I'm a guy. You know, guys, you all
understand we'd rather bitch about it than do anything about it.
So eventually it got so bad and y'all had to
(10:01):
hear me go through this that in late October early November,
I caught an upper respiratory which I do about every
three years or so, I thought, and it was unbearable.
So I, about a month ago, I guess, go to
her doctor and I am already on a path to improvement,
(10:24):
and he identified a number of things for me that
I had no idea And I'm just impressed because I
like people. You know, my neurologist Mohit Kara, he geeks
out on eurological stuff. My cardiologist Stan Duckman, he geeks
out on doctor stuff. I like people who are passionate
about what they do the way Russell Lebarra is about
(10:44):
the functioning of his kitchen or the hiring of people.
So the more I talk to this guy, I was
really fascinated by his passion for this issue that affects
a lot of people. And his clinic is called Advanced
Allergy and Asthmas. It's at the corner of Stella Link
Stella Lincoln Wesland are basically the same street, and Hulcomb
(11:05):
and bel Air are basically the same street that has
changed names. So Wesleyan and Hulcomb or Stella Lincoln, bel Air,
wherever you want to think about it, that's where they
are anyway. So we get to talking about these allergies
and what causes them and all this stuff. And I thought,
I'm fifty four, relatively well read. I ask a lot
of questions and I learned things from him in just
a few meetings that I had no idea about. And
(11:27):
I said, well, let's share that on the air Moon.
So I'm gonna need you to pay attention. Okay, there'll
be a quiz at the end. Doctor Chris Colosso is
his name Colac. Don't try to make sense of it.
It's a Portuguese name, is our guest. Let's start with
this doctor Chris Colosso article in the Chronicle a few
days ago that said, it is pollen season and it's
a bad season. What does that mean for people? Why
(11:51):
does that cause us so many problems when it's pollen season.
Explain it to me like I'm six years old.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
All right, Michael, thank you for having me on the shelf.
And so, and you'll start at the beginning. And so,
an allergy is an abnormal response to something that's not
really harmful to you. And so the body, depending on
your genetics or your environment, decides that it's going to
mount this immune response to something. And then it every
(12:21):
time you get exposed to that, the body decides, hey,
this thing is it affecting me? And I'm going to
fight it. And so that's what they gets allergy. And
so pollen, you know, is ubiquitous and all you know,
Houston has the right amount of humidity and high levels
of pollen that you know, most people tend to have
(12:44):
some level of rhiniis or running nose and ocular symptoms
that means drainage from your eyes and those kinds of things.
When pollen is very high, and so that's that's your
introduction to having our Now most of us, you know,
have a certain level of resilience and that you have
(13:06):
those symptoms and sometimes it's for a day or two
and then you slowly get better. But what happens with
allergy is that it's considered an a topic march. And
so if you start off with one or two things,
and you know, we'll just make up a random amount,
you make one hundred histamine molecules, and histamine is the
(13:26):
chemical that your body secretes. It causes you to have
the itching and the sneezing and the eye itching and
the drainage and post nasal drip and all that kind
of stuff. And you know, the first year, you may
make one hundred histamine molecules, and you know, you can
take a n antihistamine and you do better. And then
you know, with the natural course of the disease, what
(13:47):
happens the following year is you make even more and
you become allergic to more things. And so once you
get on that pathway of this abnormal immune response to
something that's harmless, the body just you know, goes down
the pathway and starts reacting to different pollens, to dust,
(14:07):
to animal veandor to foods, and that's how allarity is.
And so most people within the next week or two,
if you and those who know, no, you're going to
get miserable because once you start seeing you know, I've
just noticed, oh the leaves are already falling. Once that starts,
the oak pollen is going to start. And so most
(14:28):
everyone in Houston knows when you start seeing a little
bit of that yellow stuff on your car, you're going
to get kind of miserable. And so that's what's coming.
And so as you know, over the years, what you
see and most people may you know, have some idea
with this, is that the symptoms initially started, you know,
and they're not so bad, and then the following year
(14:50):
it gets worse, and it gets worse, and then finally
you get to where you're using multiple different medicines in
this and you're still miserable. And so what Ryan Itidas
does is you have all these secretions in your nose
and they have to go somewhere. And so, like you
know what Michael was saying with in his case, in
the old days, they had thought, hey, we'll just cut
(15:11):
out this path and that will help everything drain and
then you'll be better.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Doctor Chris Colosso, Old rut there, old rut there. Our
guest is doctor Chris Glosso. He's an allergy and asthma specialist.
He's now my doctor. He's been my wife's doctor in
a very good one. We'll continue our conversation with him
right in the middle of Polas coming up.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Michael Mary d.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Chris Colosso is our guest. He is my new allergy doctor.
He has been my wife's doctor for five years and
proofs in the pudding. She has had phenomenal results. So
all of the problems she had with allergies are gone
and we are very grateful for it. His his shop
that he is the head of is Advanced Allergy and
(16:01):
Asthma Center, which is over at Wesleyan and Hulcombe you
know where that is, just south of West University. Doctor
Chris Glosso. Let me take you back from you said
that when this pollen comes out, even if we take
an anahistamine, which which dulls down our natural reaction. But
you talked about the symptoms of of what happens the result,
(16:25):
and that's that's not that's the eyes watering. That's why
is the body doing that.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
So the so through evolution allergy initia and I know
there's caveats to this, and you know, the immune system,
the part that's responsible for allergy, they used to think
used to be directed towards parasites, and so that part
(16:54):
of the immune system used to be very active little
against parasites and you know those kinds of pathogens. In
most of the developed world, we don't have that much
parasites to deal with. And so a simple way to
think about it is this, through evolution, this part of
the immune system that was functioning so well to take
(17:16):
care of parasites now sort of has nothing to react to,
and so it starts going down this pathway to find
something to do, if you will. And that's a simplistic
way of looking at it. But now it starts reacting
to allergens and so it once it gets on that path,
it it's sort of thinks that it's protecting you against
(17:40):
this stuff when this stuff is not really.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
And how is I don't understand the purpose of the
mute because how is it it forming all this snot?
How is that ever going to help me?
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Well, you know, it's when you have a lot of
that snot and it's draining out in that kind of thing,
it's it's you know, you've probably not when you're very congested,
you can't breathe, you probably won't get much pollen in there.
And so it's not even a good response, but it's
(18:13):
just the way the body is reacting to it.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Well, no, but that makes actual sense because that would
reduce the amount of pollen that you would continue to get.
It never crossed my mind. So what we're doing now,
go ahead.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
So sometimes when people say, oh, I had fine and
surgery and now they trim my terminents and open me
up and now I can get all this stuff, and
then I feel like it's you know, still making me miserable.
And that's where where it's all open now. And you know,
so it doesn't change the Surgery's not going to change
your immune system.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
So what is the answer. And you've got to get
your immune system to stop reacting in this manner.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Correct And so one of the things that you know
allergies do, or you know that that you're I did right,
And we're jumping the gun here, so we're saying, oh,
I'm not saying that everyone needs shots or something like that.
But if you look at that, what allergy shots and
they've been around for one hundred years, and what allergy
(19:13):
shots is is to try and teach the immune system,
if you will, to not react to what you're allergic to.
And so what we do is you make these you know,
these x racts, which are basically has you know exactly
what you're allergic to, and you give it back to
(19:35):
the patient. Now, you couldn't possibly give them the full
strength shot or you'd kill them because they'd have a
whole body allergic reaction to the shot. And so what
you do is you deluded down one hundred thousand fold
and you give it back to the patient and in
slow incremental doses. And so in that way, you're slowly
(19:56):
introducing the allergen to the body. And what that does
over a period of time is that it starts generating
these cells in the body called T suppress ourselves, and
these T suppress ourselves suppress the immune response to whatever
is in the allergy, to whatever is in the shot.
(20:18):
And so that is why in patients who've done immunotherapy
and those kinds of things, they don't react as strongly.
So when your body sees the pollen the next pollen
season and you've been on shots, it doesn't react as
strongly to the shot to the pollen. And and so,
(20:40):
you know, medications treat symptoms, they don't do anything for
the problem. So the problem sort of festers along in
the background. And and that's why, you know, when we
talked about me and you, you know, I was like, hey,
you know during pollen season, and I do this too,
(21:01):
if I go run around rice. I mean, this is
you know, I try not to do the loop during
oak season, but if I do run around it, I
sometimes have, you know, mild symptoms. I immediately do a
sinus rints and clean out all that pollen so it's
not sitting in my airway in my nasal passage making
(21:21):
me horrible. And that way you just physically do better.
But what allergy shops is to try and tell the body, hey,
stop reacting to this, you know. And so it's trying
to put a hold on your body going down this
wrong pathway of reacting to something that's harmless.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Mary Telly Boden has become nationally famous for the fact
that she criticized the COVID protocols and all those but
before she was famous, and just as that was beginning
to happen, I had her on the show to talk
about a sinus rents because I had seen her. She
had a handle like doctor snot sucker or something something
funny like that. And she made post videos of doing
(22:04):
these sinus rinses and she was a big fan of
But my wife does it. I don't do it as often.
I know I should. I'm just irregular. My wife does
it frequently. But on that point, I know Mary taly
Boden is a huge fan of that. And it sounds
like you are as well I am.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
And so you know, there's so all of the sinus
rinses come from this. So in yoga one hundred years ago,
so in India they know there's a thing called nati
and actually the netty pop comes from nathi, which is
a term in yoga of where you rinse out the
naval passages. And they knew a long time ago that
(22:43):
for whatever reason, if there was inflammation in the nose,
the chest would do bad. And so in patients who
have asthma, and this is you know, a long time
ago in India, they rinsed the nose out and no
one knows if he knew why. Over the last fifteen
(23:04):
to twenty years, we've started to find out that it's
considered the single airway hypothesis, and so if there's inflammation
in one part of the airway, that inflammation will irritate
the whole airway. And so the nose is connected, you know,
to the lungs, and so a lot of people will
experience this when they have sometimes bad sinus infections and
(23:27):
upper restor infections, then they'll have wheezing in those kinds
of things. And that's where you know, physically cleaning out
all that mucus helps. And the other thing that you know,
these rinses do is physically clean out the pollen or
the dust might or whatever, so the antigen is not
(23:49):
just sitting in there, you know, keeping the immune reaction going.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Hold with me for just a doctor. Chris Colasso. He's
at Advance Allergy and Asthma Center, which is Wesleyan and Holcombe.
He's he's we have had great. He needs out you
hear him sneeze, he needs uh. He is our guest.
He's done great for my wife. I've started with him
(24:16):
and I really like his ability to explain these things,
and we will continue having him do that in the
middle of pollen season coming.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Hell, yes, we're gonna take your ar fifteen bet Opaedo
the Michael Very Show.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Hell, Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Doctor Chris Colosso is our guest Advanced Allergy and Asthma Center.
If you can't remember his name or the location, you
can email me. He is not a show sponsor yet.
He doesn't know he's going to be. But he's not
a show sponsor yet. But I will still forward you
or Emily will forward you to their phone numbers so
that you can call and get an appointment if you
want to go have the test done, or you want
(24:53):
to go see him for a consultation, so that you
can connect with him. I'm a big fan because he's
made my wife very healthy and very happy, and that
makes me very happy. So doctor Colosso, let's go back to.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
You.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Uh, you first put my wife on Zyrtec, and we
hear a lot about zertech. Now it's over the counter,
and Zyrtec basically suppresses the body's desire to overreact to
this pollen we see out there all the time. Now,
can you talk through the history of that drug? And
how that has affected your practice.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Zyrtec is an antihistamine, and so initially, you know, when
Zyrtec first came out, it was prescription and so you know,
you couldn't get zyrtec unless you went to the doctor,
you went to the allergist. And so, you know, there's
a couple of things that the or moving the medicine
over the counter has done to the practice of allergy
(25:48):
for us. And it's it's just interesting to see. And
so when you have a lot of histamine around and
you feel miserable and you have drainage and congestion and
you're itching and all that kind of stuff, and you
would have to go to the doctor, and a lot
of times the alogists would say, hey, let's see what
you're allergic to, and they do testing and you know,
(26:11):
find one or two things that was positive and then
sometimes you know, either start you on treatment for that
or do avoidance measures of those kind of things. But
as these drugs have gone, you know, over the counter,
initially we were thought, oh, there's going to be no
need for allergists, but in fact, what we've seen is
(26:33):
that we now tend to pick up patients who are
a lot more serious. So if there was no zertech
when you know, you first start having allergy, and let's
say you're just allergic to dust mites, I'll just use
that as an example, then you know, we would see
the patient and sometimes if they'd get on shots for
(26:56):
dusk mate, then they'd do a lot better. But now
with zert being over the counter, so let's say you
have a mild des smile allergy and then you start
having springtime seas and then you take zyrtech. Zyrtech blocks
hist meine, but it's not aligning, it's not doing anything
or not doing much because the allergy process of you know,
(27:17):
developing allergies to stuff is still going on. And so
what happens is then as long as that zyrtec can
keep blocking the amount of his being released, you'll be okay.
And then you start doing a nose spray for allergy,
and that's over the counter, and in the background, you're
you're you know, developing not in all cases, but in
(27:38):
a lot of cases you're developing more allergy. And so
then what happens is the person, you know, it's almost rare,
almost never that I see a patient who's not tried
zyrtec before or tried nose sprays now or those kind
of things. And so while the zyrtech is helping you,
(28:00):
you know, do okay or control your symptoms, if the
allergy is going on in the background, then you're developing
you know, more allergy. And so it's not atypical for
me to see a patient who has now multiple things
that they're allergic to. So, you know, as in Michael's case,
and since you know we're talking about this, it's it
(28:24):
can be multiple trees and grasses in those kinds of things.
And so in so what we tend to do we say,
you know, as allergies, see patients who are a lot
further along in the allergic process as opposed to you know,
when xerotec and those kind of drugs were prescription based,
(28:45):
because you would just end up seeing the patient earlier.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
But what does that mean, you know that farther along
are your allergies getting worse through time? Is that it's
not just here's there.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
That's exactly right, and how are they getting worse? And
so okay, so that's a very good question. So, and
it's a little bit technical, but in the body, you
have these these chemicals floating around called inter lukens, and
inter lukens sometimes will play a key role. Is if
(29:15):
if you have if you're exposed to analogy and or
you know, let's say we'll just we'll just make up something.
Let's say you're allergic to oak pollen. And when you're
allergic to oak pollen or you have bad allergies, you
have these chemicals flowing around. And then there's many different
numbers of chemicals, but you'll pick the ones important analogy,
(29:37):
and so you have high levels of aisle four, aisle five,
and asle thirteen. Now, when you get exposed to a
pollen in the presence of high if there's a lot
of aisle four, aisle five, aisle thirteen, you're more likely
to make an allergic antibody to it, and so they're
(29:58):
not you know, there's studies that have done that showed this.
Let's say you take a person who's allergic to oak,
and during oak season, you expose them to pecan pollen.
And in another chamber, you take someone who's not allergic
to oak, and you expose them to pecon pollen. And
then three months later you go back and you go
(30:21):
and check the blood and see who has an allergic
antibody to pecan. And interestingly, the person who was allergic
to oak is now allergic to oak and pecon, whereas
the one who wasn't allergic to oak isn't, you know,
necessarily allergic to con. And so allergy tends to beget allergy.
(30:45):
And so that's why that cycle just seems to you know,
once it starts, you tend to start going down that pathway.
And so that is why that is what I meant
is that when we know now see patients who've been
using over the kind of medicines they are already then
tend to be allergic to multiple different things, whereas before
(31:07):
those ween those medications of prescription, you would see those
patients a lot earlier on the disease process.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah, it's it's interesting because living where we live, and
having lived here my entire life, with only some brief
periods of living away, it's something that we grow accustomed to.
My mother had terrible, terrible allergies, My brother had pretty
bad allergies, and mine are not as bad as my
mother's were, but pretty bad. So it's almost something we
grow accustomed to. And so watching my wife's recovery or
(31:37):
healing or improvement, whatever you want to call it. I
almost didn't believe that there was anything that could be
done that could possibly make my life so much better.
But when I saw it with her, I said, my goodness,
that is especially with this, you know, three months of
just horrible and it was affecting my ability to do
the show. I said, Okay, I'm willing to spend the
(32:00):
actual time to go and get something done about this.
Hold with us for just a moment. Chris Colosso is
our guest. That is spelled the LAC. If you want
to go see him, it is Advanced Allergy and Asthma Center.
It's on Grammercy Street, which is over kind of near
(32:22):
Rice University. You could say a little south of West
University if you know where that is. And otherwise you
can email me and I will connect you with their website.
If you want to go make an appointment.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
To see him.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
More of doctor Chris Colosso. In the middle of pollen season,
as we are, blow your nose and we'll have more
come up.
