Episode Transcript

(00:01):
Remember when it was impossible to misplacethe TV remote because you were the TV
remote. Remember when music sounded likethis? Remember when social media was truly
social? Hey John, how's itgoing today? Well? This show is
all about you, only thee Thisis fifty plus with Doug Pike, Helpful

(00:27):
information on your finances, good health, and what to do for fun.
Fifty plus brought to you by theUT Health Houston Institute on Aging Informed Decisions
for a healthier, happier life andby Texas Indoor Air Quality Specialists because clean
air is healthier air. And nowfifty plus with Doug Pike. All right,

(00:50):
here we go. Tuesday edition ofthe program starts right now in what
is actually the second live edition tothe program. Now that we have this
schedule change, if you missed ityesterday, the Monday through Thursday schedule is
on. The Tuesday through Friday isoff. We've changed staff meetings around here.

(01:10):
I mentioned that yesterday and so henceforththroughout the land. Fridays are going
to be the best that Will cancobble based on what we've done Monday through
Thursday. And I think you'll findhim pretty good at what he does.
It will be worth it. Ifyou missed anything during the week, to
listen on Friday, because whatever youmissed was probably the best part of the

(01:32):
show, and you'll get that onFriday. I got tickled just a second
ago. I was actually in Petcoyesterday buying pet supplies, and I bought
just enough. I told the cashierthere, the employee there, just enough

(01:53):
to get me through until our repeatorder shows up on the porch, And
laughingly, I said, no betterway to get that repeat order to show
up than to go ahead and buyextra today. And this morning, at
about nine thirty, I got newsthat they were preparing my repeat order,

(02:15):
my repeat delivery, and just afew minutes ago it was on its way
to the house. So now Iwill be overloaded. And when the next
repeat order comes in, there's avery good chance that I'll be overstocked in
the house and we'll maybe we'll justadd a new room and just fill it

(02:35):
up full of the stuff we use. It might be easier, all right.
So welcome to fifty plus. Ifyou're new to the program, by
the way, thank you for listeningtoday. I hope you enjoy what you
hear. This is a show thatkind of what I try to do here
is give you just enough details tostart you thinking, and then allow and
encourage you to do additional digging,additional research and form your own opinions.

(03:01):
I have my opinions, and you'llbe able to tell if you listen to
the program long enough which way Ilean. And that's fine, but I'm
not gonna tell you that that's theonly way to think. I respect the
intelligence and inside of each and everyone of you, and I greatly respect
your ability to reach your own conclusionsand think for yourself. Whereas almost everything

(03:27):
I've seen on TV lately leans adizzying distance to the left and treats those
of us who can actually watch asthough we are children who just simply aren't
smart enough. We can't figure itout for ourselves, so they're gonna tell
us what to think and how tothink it. I figured that out a
long time ago. There's a beliefin media these days that if they tell

(03:49):
the same lie enough times, itbecomes the truth. And sadly, we've
got a couple of generations of Americans, young adults voting age, young adults
who actually has been determined by poles, get most of their news on TikTok,
which is run by actually it's atleast partially owned and operated or certainly

(04:15):
overseen and monitored by the Chinese government. It's a Chinese company that owns TikTok,
and there's been effort here to changethat. Anyway. These young people
have just taken the bait, swallowedthe hook, and tend to believe some
outrageous and outlanded, just outlandish mistruths. But I'd aggress. I'll start.

(04:40):
I'll restart with the weather, courtesyof Texas into air quality specialists, expert
duct work cleaners. Just st'll poundtwo fifty, say healthier today's highs and
lows in haighkup? Are you ready? Will hit me? God? Steady
rain coming, potential for some flooding. Sunshine come back soon. I agree,

(05:08):
Sunshine come back soon. I'll givethat one. Oh, that's that's
a six. That's six. Six, that's all. It's fine. It's
fine. Six is not fine.Five is fine. Six is a little

(05:28):
bit better. But I was Iwas hoping for a seven. That's what
I wrote down, Okay, Iwas hoping for seven. You don't want
to change, do you? Ican move it up to You're not gonna
give me some six in the quarter. You're just not gonna make tip a
six point five to one six pointtwo five. I give up, uh
quickly off to market. Courtesy ofHouston Gold Exchange dot Com. The four

(05:51):
big indicators all green. About anhour ago, the russell actually up nearly
a point, Russell two thousand,Oil up a couple of dimes, but
still just they It held a sliverlast I looked inside of eighty dollars a
barrel, So not much change atthe pump. If it'll go down,
if it'll only go down about anotherten dollars a barrel, be worth talking

(06:15):
about. Gold up again actually andback north, although not by much.
Back north of twenty four one hundreddollars announced, which is always good news.
Two minutes. Well, that's allI have left. How does this
happen? MO? All right?In any event, we'll move forward show,
moving into some current stories and certainlycurrently relevant news that broke only about

(06:36):
ninety minutes ago. I was sohoping it would happen at about eleven fifty,
when I could have been among thefirst to break it. But anyway,
Secret Service former director Cheetle has resigned. I'll still encourage you all to
review the testimony she presented yesterday beforea House committee. It was revealed then

(06:58):
that the local authorities actually had observedand photographed the shooter on the roof,
clear line of sight to the podiumeighteen minutes. They were doing that before
President Trump went on stage, andfor whatever reasons, nobody stopped him from
going on stage. Shortly thereafter,of course, the guy got off what

(07:19):
was it seven or eight shots Ithink before he was taken out by a
Secret Service sniper. This is onlythe tip of that iceberg, too,
and many of Cheadle's responses yesterday wereincredibly invasive or evasive, not invasive.
Lawmakers on both sides started calling forher to step down almost immediately, and

(07:42):
quite defiantly actually. She said severaltimes before this morning that she still believed
she was the best person to runthe Secret Service. Yes, that secret
Service, the one that let someonethey knew about for better than a quarter
hour get off multiple shits at ourformer president. Kirk Holmes is a custom

(08:05):
home builder that has been in businessfor three generations of the same family for
thirty plus years around here, andall they do is just build the most
beautiful most amazing homes. Big customhomes started a little bit north of a
million, go to about two million. They are absolutely dialed into that space.

(08:28):
And if that's what you're looking atfor your dream home that size or
even larger, you are encouraged byme, as I have been doing for
so many years now, to startwith them. And once you've had a
consultation with them, once you've mettheir design teams, their architectural teams,

(08:50):
meet all those people, you'll seewhy I'm so excited to tell you about
them. They are, by theway, the twenty twenty four Southern Living
Builder of the Year, and ifI had looked at my notes this morning,
I would be able to tell youwith precision about two other awards they
recently earned. I keep telling youthey're going to need a bigger trophy room.
I've told Chris McGinley that several times. There's clearly room for expansion to

(09:18):
accommodate all the awards and trophies andwhatnot that they have won for building amazing
custom homes all the way from thenorthwest side of town out through the entire
hill country. To see your dreamhome become reality, it's very simple.
Go to Kirkholmes dot com. That'sk you r K because at kirk Holmes

(09:39):
it's all about you aged to perfection. This is fifty plus with Doug Pike.
Here we go, all right,welcome back. I knew my Michael's
on by the way, I didthat on purpose, trying to sing along

(10:03):
to an instrumental. Oh well,welcome back to fifty plus on this allegedly
eventually rainy, if it's not alreadyrainy where you are Tuesday afternoon. In
this segment, we're gonna speak witha man in who I truly intend to
bring back regularly until if we livelong enough, until there's an actual cure

(10:26):
for Alzheimer's disease. And the reasonI bring him back a few times a
year is that we're actually getting closerand closer to that momentous day. With
that, I will welcome back doctorPaul Schultz, a neurologist and neuropsychiatrist at
UT Physicians and Professor of Neurology atMcGovern Medical School. Welcome back, doctor.
Thank you for having me. Doug. It's always a pleasure because every

(10:48):
time I see that you're going tobe on the show, that means that
there's something going on with Alzheimer's.Let's go ahead and start from square one,
as always, with a definition ofAlzheimer's disease. Yeah, Alzheimer's is
the most common neurodegenerative cause of cognitivechanges. So if someone comes in with
memory loss and we don't see astroke, tumor abscess, infection, hemorrhage

(11:11):
and all that, and always seeas a brain getting smaller than we know,
it's neurodegenerative and Alzheimer's is the mostcommon cause of that. Memory is
a common way it presents doug butalso it could be getting lost, It
could be problems finding words and otherthings as well. And to get the
elephant out of the room before weget into the really good stuff in the
meat of this interview, do youhave any opinion on whether or not our

(11:33):
present might be dealing with this specificcondition or do you want to just blow
that off. Well, the poorgentleman obviously has parkinson Ism, okay,
I meaning he looks like he hasParkinson's, and without examining him, what
I don't know is if he hasjust Parkinson's or whether he has a form
of Parkinson's that causes more cognitive issuesthan that. Okay, Yeah, I

(11:56):
think the getting stuck in the middleof sentences and word finding and so forth
and mixing upwards would be very commonwith Parkinson's or something more than that.
You know, whatever it is,I'm kind of with you. I'm not
a fan of his politics, tobe perfectly honest. However, as as

(12:16):
that man, I feel for him. I feel for his family because they're
clearly going to have a tough roadto cross going on. So let's talk
about on set and progression of Alzheimerspecifically, when and how does it start.
It can be as simple as forgetfulness, which is probably the most common

(12:37):
for over seventy, but in theunder seventy crowd, like the fifties and
sixties, it can present more withwhat we call frontal on set. That's
the front of the brain, that'sthe part that's involved in judgment and reasoning
and insight. So a person's personalitymight change as the first symptom. It
can look a lot like a midlifemidlife crisis for example. Wow. Yeah.

(13:00):
So depending on the age, itcan be very different, and it
always starts in one spot on thebrain, but it can be any spot
and depending on what spot that isyou get a different symptom from it.
That's fascinating really, And I knowyou guys have found ways to measure every
specific spot in the brain, andit sound every time I talk, I
learn more. And I know thatyou guys are doing better. That you

(13:22):
mentioned the forgetfulness and what I interviewedsomeone recently. I can't recall who it
was. It was, it's beena month or a month and a half
ago, who shared the difference betweenoccasional senior forgetfulness and true dementia This way,
she said, it's not forgetting whereyou put your keys for a few
minutes that indicates trouble. It's forgettingwhat the keys are used for. Does

(13:45):
that make sense? Yeah? Orforgetting the biggest thing is forgetting like a
conversation yesterday. Oh well, okay, yeah, forgetting your keys is kind
of an attention part of the brain, okay. Like, oh, and
attention is the thing that changes withaging normally, and it goes down a
lot, Like from the time we'retwenty till we're eighty five, it goes
down about forty percent. So everybodynotices forgetfulness for where they put their keys

(14:11):
or trying to find the name ofsomeone that I know for years. Oh
gosh, yeah, yeah. Butwhen it goes to the next level,
what happens is the person you sayto them, well we just had that
conversation ten minutes ago, and ifthey have a blank stare like, no,
I don't remember that, that wouldeither kind of memory that really goes.
It's a different part of the brain, Doug, and it has that

(14:33):
different flavor to it. The attentionpart is normal aging. The other part
of the brain, called the hippocampusinvolved in short term memory. That's the
one that allows me to remember thingsfrom five minutes ago and yesterday, and
that's the one that's not working inAlzheimer's disease. Oh my, So it's
got to be the cruelest of thecognitive impairments, I think, since it
eventually erases memory of people we actuallypeople we love, of family members.

(14:58):
What feedback do you get from patientswho find themselves unable to recognize a spouse
or a child. What do theyfeel? Oh my god, Doug,
it's the worst. It is theworst disease. It's worse for the family
than anything, because you watch yourloved one disappear a few brain cells at
a time. For the people whohave the disease, when they can tell

(15:20):
me what they're feeling, it's justvery scary. I mean, could you
imagine if you looked around the roomthat you're in now and didn't know how
you had gotten there, and don'tremember ever coming there, and at some
point you might not recognize that room. Oh wow, you know you literally
if you remember nothing more than fiveminutes ago, everything disappears about that and

(15:41):
it becomes very frightening. People don'twant to leave their spouse, for example,
because at least they still recognize themfor you know, quite a bit
of time. Yeah. Everything elsethey don't recognize so much anymore. Very
painful disease to have, and that'spartly why we're so aggressive with medications and
all to calm them down and helpthem so they're not totally distressed by this

(16:02):
kind of stuff. Doctor Paul Schultzeon fifty plus. Let's lift the mood
somewhat and focus on research and newtreatment options. I feel like I saw
something pretty recently actually that was beinghailed as the latest and best. What
would that be? Do you know, Doug, Yes, this is the
big mood uplifter today. You're absolutelyright. Just about three weeks ago,

(16:23):
the FDA approved a second medication thatmodifies the course of Alzheimer's disease. Very
very exciting because, as you said, it's a terrible disease. Everything we
can do to help it is fantastic. Animab made by Lily was approved by
the FDAY, given full approval,just like lacanamab last year. And by

(16:45):
the way, I want to thankall of our ut patients who have been
involved in the dynanamab studies as well. They've helped us move the ball down
the field. This drug, likethe other one, slows the course of
the disease by quite a bit,depending on how early we catch someone.
If we catch them late, mightslow at thirty percent earlier, maybe sixty
percent we count, So it's avery significant. Both of these drugs are

(17:07):
really great drugs, and now we'vegot two of them in our armamentarium US.
It really is, believe it ornot, we've already used up our
time and I'm so glad we gotto that. Are these drugs FDA approved,
yes? Or do Medicare and Medicaidcover them or no? Not yet
they cover the first one, andthey're thinking about the second one. I'm
sure they will soon, Doug.Okay, that's fantastic news. We'll end

(17:30):
on that, doctor Paul Schultz,thank you so very much. As always,
Thank you, sir. Always apleasure. I can't wait to hear
back from you because I know it'llbe more good news. Thank you,
doctor. Thanks. See all right, A late health, A late health
is a place you can go notfor not for what we were just talking
about, but for vascular issues suchas fibroids and women such as ugly veins,

(17:53):
an enlarged non cancerous prostate. Forthe guys in the audience, you
know what those symptoms are, andyou don't like them. If you have
one of those, you know whatI'm talking about. If you have one
of those, if you go toa late health, you can get that
problem remedied within a couple of hoursin one of their clinics around town.
All they do is go in thereand for any of these conditions, they

(18:15):
identify the little pesky artery or biggerpesky artery that is fueling whatever the problem
is with oxygenated blood and keeping itgoing. When they shut it off,
they turn it off so that thatparticular thing, whatever that thing is shrivels
up and dies, and along withit goes all the symptoms, go all

(18:38):
the symptoms that have been bothering youfor so very long when you really didn't
need to be bothered by them.They also do regenerative medicine, which I
think is fantastic for anybody who's eversuffered with chronic pain for a long long
time, and that is proving reallyhelpful in that arena five eight eight thirty

(19:00):
eight eighty eight seven one three fiveeight eight thirty eight eighty eight. Or
go to a latehealth dot com that'sa l A T E. A latehealth
dot com. Yah. They suredon't make them like they used to.
That's why every few months we washhim, check his fluids, and spring
on a fresh coat of wax.This is fifty plus with Doug Pike.

(19:37):
All right, welcome back to fiftyplus. Thanks for listening on this Tuesday
afternoon. Well, I think weyou and I both should get our hair
done like the scow on TV rightnow. What do you think? Well,
I think we're missing a little bitof hair. I don't know if
we can get it up then,but falls short. Possibly I got a
better chance of having that haircut wejust saw. Oh well, I need

(20:00):
to get a haircut. Speaking ofI'm I'm a little tardy, a little
tardy to the chair. And Ihave a fantastic place out in Sugarland where
I get my haircut a very reasonablerate. I don't even I won't tell
anybody about it because it's reasonable,it's a good haircut, and I don't

(20:21):
have to get a loan to goget my haircut. My son gets pretty
expensive haircut. He get far morethan mine. I can actually get close
to three haircuts for the price ofhis. And why we're still doing that,
I don't know. I guess it'simportant. It was important to me
as a teenager. I'll give creditfor that. I understand it makes a

(20:42):
lot more difference to him what helooks like than it does to me what
I look like. I haven't thrownin the towel. I try, I
do, and I try to maintainsome semblance of well, never mind,
let's move on. I got thattake care of into a world that I

(21:03):
truly love, the world of wordsand typos. For example, leaf off
just jump off of headlines, Theyjump off of menus, if they're even
in text. If I'm just scanningtext to find out what's going on in
a story without actually reading it wordfor word. If there's a typo in

(21:26):
there, it will fly off thepage. I'm a grammar nerd. Proper
grammar matters to me. Spoken spokenEnglish. I give some leeway because we
don't speak as we should write,But if you're writing something, I'm a
stickler for grammar. Now, ifit's a typo that was caused by voice

(21:49):
to text, I'm as guilty asanybody of trying to get messages out quickly
and occasionally having my intention changed asystem that didn't understand what I said,
and so put down something that thoughtwas close enough and basically changed the entire

(22:11):
tone of the message. I goback and correct those as fast as I
can too. If you ever seesomething from me with a typo in it
and I haven't corrected it in abouttwo hours, called paramedics. All right.
So moving on to what I'm talkingabout here, definitions matter to me
as well. And the Mirriam WebsterDictionary made news this week when it floated

(22:37):
a little balloon onto its ex account, a little post there that added a
couple of heretofore never seen or evenconsidered definitions of the word woman. Definition
B was quote having a gender identitythat is opposite of mail end quote,

(22:57):
and definition C he was quote madeup of usually adult members of the female
sex end quote usually really usually thatopens a whole lot of new doors that
I don't necessarily think should be opened. And by the way, just so

(23:18):
you know, after an onslaught ofvery robust opposition from people who define woman
in the traditional way, and thatway, only Miriam Webster with Drewet's post
altogether. First they made it nolonger possible to respond, and then they
just pulled it down all together.Moving to the potential ticket topper of the

(23:41):
Democratic Party, Vice President Kamala Harris, it's worth noting as she enters the
race at nearly ninety two percent ofher forty seven original staff members in twenty
twenty one gone. Of those fortyseven, only four still hanging aroun still
doing what she tells them to do. Imagine what it took. Imagine what

(24:04):
it must have been like for fortythree of forty seven people who were interviewed
hired to work under her as vicepresident, and they're gone. It's also
question I read this morning about thefinances of her office, and how that
office declined Foyer request for clarification onsalaries and how much money was actually being

(24:30):
paid to whom and whatnot. Ican't imagine what it must have taken for
so many people to accept what whathad to have felt like pretty prestigious positions.
Uh yeah, what do you do? Well, I'm a doctor,
I'm a plumber, I'm a lawyer, whatever, Yeah, I work for
the Vice President of the United States. And then a few days, weeks,

(24:55):
months, whatever, later, youfeel compelled to get out of there,
no matter what it's going to costyou. Surely we can't expect her
to run a cabinet or a Congressif she can't keep together a crew of
forty seven underlings at least half ofthem. Couldn't she have kept half?

(25:15):
It's not that long a time tobe at a job. I get it.
Younger people don't stick around for longat most jobs. But this is
not most jobs. Now that PresidentBiden's left the race for a second term,
suddenly there's this new evidence, bythe way that the DOJ has,
According to a Politico story located transcripts, it previously denied having of President Biden's

(25:40):
conversations with that biographer who we nowknow had heard or seeing classified information.
Foyer request flooded in behind Special counselRobert Hursts determination that Biden was a well
meaning elderly man with a poor memory, and now it can't be coincidence.

(26:00):
Now that he's off the ticket.The DOJ told a judge just Monday afternoon
that, oh, it's it's wewe found some transcripts that you might want
to have a look at. It'samazing, just amazing in local news.
You know. I'll stop here,I'll stop and wait till we get back,

(26:22):
and I will go to the localnews that I wanted to get to.
It's it's interesting, I think,and then we will we'll divert into
some lighter stuff. I may evenhold the local news I have here until
tomorrow because I do want to getinto some lighter stuff. I like to
mix the the ugly with the withthe not so ugly, the fun,

(26:45):
with the somber that you get it. Ut Hels Institute on Aging is an
amazing collaborative. It is of hundredsof providers from every field in the medical
community. Anything you can name adoctor you've ever seen there is somebody who
specializes in that whatever that person specializationis, who also has gone back and

(27:10):
got an additional training as to howthat specialization can be applied specifically to us,
to seniors, our bodies are different, they need different attention, and
that's what the collaborative of providers fromUT's Institute on Aging provides to us.

(27:30):
Go to the website, look arounduth dot edu slash aging. Look at
the resources that are available through thatwebsite. Look at the providers who are
available through that website, all ofwhom are specially trained to take care of
us and keep us ticking a lotlonger than the average provider. UT dot

(27:53):
edu slash Aging is the website uthdot edu slash Aging. Old Guy's rule,
and of course, women never getold if you want to avoid sleeping
on the couch. Okay, well, I think that sounds like a good
plan. Fifty plus continues. Here'smore with Doug. All right, fourth

(28:23):
and final segment of the program startsright now. Thank you for listening.
I consulted with Will and we agreed. Well, he just didn't say anything,
which means he agrees with me,because he'll bark up, boy,
he barks up big and proud ifhe disagrees with me, and I respect
that with him, He and Iare able to disagree and yet not hate
each other. I think I don'thate you. Do you hate me?

(28:44):
Will? No, I don't hateyou. Okay, good, I appreciate
that. So we're gonna go lighter. First of all, Will, today
is national? What day? National? I know I scream day was recently,
but yes, it's today? Isit today? Yes? It is
vanilla ice cream Day. So Igot a hunch our sitting president has a

(29:11):
bowl of it right in front ofhim right now. Nope. He likes
mint chocolate chocolate chip. Is thatright? Yeah? Have you not seen
the video? I don't pay attentionto that. I would much prefer to
hear what he has to say onpolicy issues and whatnot. I don't care
what flavor of ice cream he likes, as long as he doesn't hate ice
cream chocolate chocolate chip. I thinkit's my son who likes that as well.

(29:33):
Maybe I can't remember. All right, I'm gonna give you one choice
in one Well, First of all, what I told you yesterday right after
we finished up, I said,By the way, will baby swim diapers
don't absorb urine that just that justfrees up and goes right into the pool.

(29:56):
So anybody who's who's worried about thebaby in the pool and putting them
in one of those diapers, you'rewasting your money because and clearly they can't
absorb pe because they would then absorbpool water as well, and one would
displace the other immediately. So thinkabout what it's doing. It's doing.
It's providing a great service, noquestion that baby diaper is, but it's

(30:19):
just not doing what you thought itwas doing. And that's the job of
the chlorine in the pool. Somoving from there, I'm going to go
to one that I called South Africajust lost all credibility? What would you
think that might even be about?Will what would you think would lead me
to declare that an entire country haslost its credibility? I don't know,

(30:44):
Doug. Well, let me tellyou. Police there are investigating a case
involving two suspects who are alleged tohave done what to escape from their holding
cells this past week? They're goneand how did they get out? Will

(31:04):
they doe a hole? No?No, I'm afraid not. We're just
gonna go on to the answer theauthorities there believe that they have. Allegedly
it says here shape shifted and becamecats. Well you never know, yeah,

(31:26):
I do. Oh, I doknow. Yes, that did not
happen. Will come on, thatdid not happen. No, there's nothing
to come on for. It's impossible. I could see it. It didn't
happen. I could see it didnot happen. Seventy percent of people say
they initially assumed that strangers are niceand maintain that provision until proven otherwise.

(31:52):
Thirty percent believe the opposite, thatstrangers are enemies until proven otherwise. Where
you honestly, Oh not, nojoke. I mean, she's somebody walking
down the street. What do youassume about them than nothing? To be
honest, just assume they're pretty nicepeople just trying to get by in the
world. Just like I don't evenlook at people. Come on, will

(32:15):
you don't make eye contact? You'remaking eye contact with me right now,
is it you? But when Ifirst when I when I first met you,
oh man, I didn't even standto look at you. Just how
could some how could one man beso handsome? Is that what you were
thinking? I wasn't thinking anything.I was just like, don't look at

(32:35):
him. Don't look at him allright? Uh? I know, Well,
I'm just gonna A lot of peopleget married, a lot of people
don't stay married very long. Butthere is in this world a couple that
may have set the record for theshortest marriage will a couple in Kuwait were

(32:59):
divorce first three minutes after saying Ido. The groom and this was his
first and only mistake in the marriage. The groom, for some reason,
called his bride three minutes well,probably about a minute and a half into

(33:21):
it, he made the mistake ofcalling his bride I'm I'm not laughing because
it's I'm laughing because I can't findany other way to express it. He
called his bride stupid, after whichshe flew into a rage, it says
here, and demanded that the judgedissolve their marriage, which the judge did
