Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah, what condition condition? I will this morning and with
the sundown shining, And I found my mind in a
brown paper peg.

Speaker 5 (02:11):
Butin I tripped on a cloud and fell eight miles
high high.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
I tore mine back on a jagged sky.

Speaker 6 (02:24):
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition
was in?

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah, yeah, what condition?

Speaker 7 (02:34):
Condition?

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Welcome everybody to doctor Cooper's Natural Health Hours. It is
October fifteenth, and uh, it's been quite a week, a
lot going on. We got built back, thank goodness U.
So we got Susie Bill and myself and producer Steve
behind the screen and we are all here and hopefully

(03:08):
the show is good therapy to all of us because
we all needed. It's been a rough week. All right.
Before we start, many of you know that I have
a family member who's had a stroke and balance and
stuff has been kind of difficult, and they fell the

(03:30):
other day really bad. I mean scared me bad, hurt them.
The balance just isn't quite right, and that the numb
side of the body, the foot hit something and didn't
feel it and fell and tumbled hard. I mean, it

(03:51):
was heartbreaking. So I reached out to one of the
supervisors of the employee and my patient and said, hey,
I just wanted to update you. You guys are you know,
saying a lot of things and not only can she

(04:14):
not drive, but her balance isn't quite right and just
coming from the parking lot and upstairs and over curbs.
This is a big deal. But she's doing very well
at the computer and has trained herself to use that
left hand which doesn't go operate very well. And they

(04:37):
keep saying things like the other day somebody put out
the word to another person that she would be staying
at home working. Then a few days later somebody said,
your claim has been denied. Well, she never filed a claim.
She just politely notified them that I can't drive and

(05:01):
I'm doing very productive work at the home office, so hopefully,
you know, we won't have any problem. And I thought
it would be really good just to let him know
that she's having trouble walking also and the balance is
a problem. Well, the person that I contacted did not

(05:26):
contact me, but cried like a baby to somebody else
and they contacted my patient and said, please ask the
doctor not to call them because they can't do anything.
So I told the patient right back and tell them
the doctor didn't ask him to do anything. He was

(05:49):
giving him a friendly update because he knew they didn't
know about the balance. And they said, well, you know,
the claim has been denied and somebody in HR needs
to get with you. Well, there never was a claim filed.
And one of the things they said in the beginning
was your leave of absence application is pending. She never

(06:13):
asked for a leave of absence. She's working like a
champ every day. So I don't know what's wrong with
these people. I'm so embarrassed as a human being that
somebody at that company couldn't have said she had a stroke.
We're gonna let her continue working like she is. She's

(06:34):
one of our best employs. She starts work an hour
and a half early every day because she can. Before
she would have been on the road. So very sad. Anyway,
Susie and Bill go ahead and say hello and let's
start things rolling.

Speaker 7 (06:50):
Susie, Hello, everyone.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
That is all right, Well we are all back tonight.
We're going to talk about dental on my part, and
the reason I brought that up is over the years,
me and the dentists have disagreed a whole bunch. They
are taught fluoride is good for you, and they believe

(07:18):
that because they have never seen the truth about how
it damages the diroid and all the problems it causes
you're now seeing. I think the state of Florida was
the first ones that is banning fluoride and drinking water,
and so that's a good sign. That shows that somebody's

(07:41):
paying attention. And usually it's just politics, but also the
dental offices push every six months coming in for a
checkup and a cleaning. Well, my experience over the years
was all all those cleanings were wearing away the enamel

(08:05):
and then they start telling people you have receding gumline,
which from all the cleaning, it's damaged some of the
gums and it's taken away some of the enamel, so
you've got less tooth and the gums being worked too hard.

(08:26):
Probably thirty years ago, they used to tell people brush
your teeth until they bleed, and they thought that was
a good thing. It was not, And many of the
toothpastes today will say anti cavity fluoride toothpaste, and they
think the fluoride is helping stop cavities, and it's far

(08:51):
from that. There's tons of research out there that fluoride
is bad in so many ways, but mostly damaging your thyroid.
That's a big one. And it is amazing in this
day and age out there where Susie and Steve live,
that community voted to continue putting fluoride in their drinking water.

(09:20):
Most of the nation is waking up and they voted
to continue something very terrible, and we have no clue
all the damage that's done to people. So many things
about fluoride bad news, and how all of it started
was many years ago when they first start making aluminum,

(09:43):
one of the byproducts something they needed to get rid
of was fluoride, and the company aluminum Companies, start dumping
it on the land, and the farmers and the ranchers
all of a sudden had problems and they saw that
this was bad for the soil and the animals, so

(10:05):
they had taken them to court and aluminum companies had
to come up with something else. So then they start
working on mess political ad campaign to let everybody know
that fluoride was good for your teeth. And I don't
know how they sold it, but they did so. I

(10:27):
saw a commercial yesterday for a mouthwash and it said
anti cavity fluoride mouthwash. So and then some of these
companies that tell you their natural are making the fluoride
version and the non fluoride version. And one of them

(10:51):
is a toothpaste company, and I called them and I asked,
why you claim to be natural and healthy. Why are
you making a toothpaste that has fluoride in it when
you know that's bad. And their answer to me was,
some people don't know that, and they want fluoride because

(11:12):
they think it's good for them, so we put it
in there. You gotta wonder why they didn't just tell
people there's a ton of research that it's bad for you,
unless the people that are making fluoride and producing the
side the byproduct are paying a lot of money and

(11:36):
have very very powerful people pushing fluoride chemical, which is
probably the case. But the thing is, you don't want
to go get your teeth cleaned every six months. That's
a bad thing, no matter what they tell you. I
had one patient who had let them do it so

(11:58):
long that they told her that your gums have receded
so bad, we need to do a skin graft from
the roof of your mouth and put that skin around
your teeth to restore the gums. I still hurt thinking
about that. And all it was was too many cleanings.

(12:23):
And I one time dated a dental hygienis from New
Orleans and we did not agree on too stuff. And
as I got more and more educated as a doctor,
the more I learned, the more horrified I was how
strong they pushed people to come get your teeth cleaned

(12:44):
and take your fluoride toothpaste and fluoride tablets. Hey, they
had all kinds of stuff at these dental offices. And
I've had several discussions with dentists and they really believe
that the fluoride is good. They have been told that,

(13:04):
and they've not been told any of the truth, none
of the other research, just the part kind of like
watching mainstream news. I guess so very very sad what
I tell everybody. When we used to do the industritional consoles,
part of that was with dental stuff too, and I
would show them a few choices of toothpaste without fluoride

(13:30):
and natural is possible. I would tell them brush your
teeth in the morning when you wake up if you
want to brush your teeth throughout the day. For a
lot of people that's not real possible because you're at work.
And then I said brush your teeth before bed. But
before you brush your teeth, floss, so floss every night,

(13:53):
wrench your mouth, and then brush your teeth. And there
are plenty of natural mouthwashes out there without fluoride. And
I would recommend that you rent your mouth with the
mouthwash at least a few times a week, but once
a day would be better. So what you're doing, you're

(14:14):
gonna brush your teeth at least twice a day, rense
with the mouthwash, and floss before bedtime and before that
final brushing, and you won't have a lot of the
tooth problems. Now, if you need supplementation and nutritional little

(14:34):
support for your your teeth, there are all kinds of
good products through standard processing METI herb to help you
with that. There's a complete dental protocol for the dentists,
so they know what they can do and products they

(14:55):
can recommend for you. And you know, we we've got
things to help make the teeth stronger to make to
heal the gums to repair the loss of your receding
gum lines that they tell you about, and you just
got to watch out because they give you a lot

(15:16):
of bad advice, and that's what happens, is cavities and
thyroid problems and receding gumb lines and loss of enamel
on the teeth, all those things that could have been prevented.

(15:39):
And there's plenty of things we can take to help
even after that, and a lot of things you know,
like they're real big on root canals. Well, years ago,
I didn't know anything about that, and like everybody else,
I had some of that done to me and it
didn't do anything because lots and lots of problems. And

(16:04):
so as you figure out more of this, there's more
things you can do. We've got good products like calcil
food wafers, we've got biodent, we've got different dental things.
Just the natural every day nutrition like cattalin and calcium lactate.

(16:30):
These are things that are going to help keep your
teeth healthy. So there's a lot of stuff you can do,
but you don't want to be doing every six months
getting your teeth cleaned and going down that road it's
a very very bad road. So, like I said, a lot,

(16:52):
a lot of the dentists and I have disagreed big
time when we got into those discussions, and I'd just
tell them, I'm sorry, but you guys haven't seen all
the research. And I always kept some to show them.
And some of them I think have open minds and
they'll think about it, but they're so brainwashed and so

(17:14):
trained on what they do. It's hard for them. So
you know, you got to take care of yourself now.
Some people insist they'll keep going so they need to
get the gum transplant, or they try to re enamel
their teeth, or they wonder why our teeth are so sensitive. Well,

(17:36):
all them cleanings, it's very very bad and you shouldn't
be doing it. I think that's one of the worst
things in the world when they start doing your cleanings
and then they want to One of the funny things
to me is they check your blood pressure when you
go in. Well, i'm gonna tell you what for most

(18:00):
people go into the dentist is a very unpleasant thing.
In most cases, I would say there's probably a few
that are not. And your blood pressure is a little
high because you know, I'm probably gonna get drilled on
at a shot and not pleasant, so the body naturally

(18:22):
is going to protest. So I just say it's so
much easier stay away from that stuff. Take care of
your teeth. Brush in the morning, rents with a mouth
washed through out today, floss at night, then brush, and
I think you'll be far far ahead. And the best

(18:46):
thing you can do is if you see a dentist offices,
walk around it, and there are going to be times
when you have no choice, something has to be pulled
or there's a real problem, and those are I think
more rare. But I remember as a kid I went

(19:07):
to a dentist and they wanted to do braces, and
he's the dentist was telling me. He said, yeah, I
could have played football, but I do braces now and
I make a fortune, so that was a pretty good
incentive for him. All right, Susie anything.

Speaker 8 (19:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (19:28):
I think it's interesting how they take a poisonous byproduct,
they sell it to cities. Cities don't have money, they
take the people's money and buy poison and then people
drink it. Interesting, Bill, Yeah, that's so.

Speaker 8 (19:52):
You wonder whatever happened to the will of the people.
On the other hand, most folks, I think, kind of
buy into the that they've been told a lot of
this stuff is good for them. There's always a kooky
friends who says, no, it's not, and we all know
that they're kind of strange people, but it's okay. You

(20:15):
grow up hearing all this sort of stuff. And I
think with a lot of folks, because I've known a
number of datis in my life, not many people take
real good care of their teeth. And they don't. As
you say that the hygiene that they that we kind
of take for granted and that we hopefully will practice
this is you know, now, they don't do it, and

(20:37):
you know, they lose all their teeth by the time
they're fifty and they don't know why. But you know,
their parents for that way, and their grandparents are that way,
so it must be all right. So it's a hard
it's a hard thing to de buck that tradition that
these people have been beginning with for generations.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
Yeah, and like I said, we we have entire dentistry
protocols for the dentists, but more for the patients, you know,
like root canal, cataplex ACP right off the bat, that's
gonna help with nerve pain, any kind of infection. And

(21:20):
then you need some neuroplex if you're having problem with
swollen gums, cataplex ACP to the rescue again with contoplex,
so much stuff, chlorophyll for healing and promotion of healing.

(21:41):
Bro if you've had a problem with the jawbone, our
brittal teeth, bios bio dent, calcil, food wafers, ligaplex one
and two. So many things that we have that could help.
Sometimes people have a bad taste in their mouth. That

(22:04):
usually tells us there's a gut problem. So you want
something like Lockedan's or AFA to food things like that.
It's to start fixing that problem. But the big thing
is they've sold people very well on getting your teeth
cleaned every six months, and I say that's the worst
thing you can do, and they hate when I say that.

(22:29):
Does anybody do that to any of you guys? Go
pretty regular? Nope, Susie, I don't remember if you did.
You used to do that.

Speaker 7 (22:47):
I never did it every six months.

Speaker 8 (22:50):
That just.

Speaker 7 (22:54):
Something tell me they're not you know, they're not taking
care of me. You know. I found it interesting many
family members that were religious about there every six months.
Most of them were told receiving gum thing, Well, if

(23:17):
it worked, if it was efficient, then that wouldn't be happening.
So I just I'm a free thinker.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
Yeah, you were ahead of the curve on a lot
of things, especially with your kids growing up. But so
many people, you know, they thought it was good when
we do those consults in my office and we got
around to dental and I said, no, I would not
do the cleaning. People are like, wow, you know a

(23:52):
lot of them were glad to hear that because they
didn't like going for it anyway, but they thought it
was necessary. And what I saw was the the side
of the coin, all the problems, the receding gums, the
brittle teeth, all that stuff, loose teeth because it's brushing.
And like I said, I don't remember how many years,

(24:14):
at least thirty years ago, maybe longer, there was a
whole generation that was told brush your teeth till they bleed.
And we all know that doesn't make good sense. That
tells you you're doing something wrong. But if you do
have bleeding ladies and gentlemen, I would suggest Seruda plus

(24:42):
and Calmel plus, which is a calcium, magnesium and some
other stuff in there to help deal with that. But
the seruda especially it's very good to help with bleeding
tissue and all. So dermotrophin p MG, which is a

(25:03):
skin product. And if if you've got loose tissue or
or you know, just skin loosely around the gums, you
might want to do dermotrophin. That's that can help an
awful lot. So it's a lot of a lot of
good things. Some of the things that we used to

(25:23):
do for people with broken bones worked very well with
people for loose teeth and enamel loss and all that
good stuff. Uh, and just doing cattle in if you
didn't do anything else but cattle and you're ahead by
a long shot. And things like the calmal plus that's

(25:52):
that's for calcium deficiencies, osteoporosis, calcium utilization, and it's it's
just a very very important product. It's got the parathyroid desiccate,
so for your parayroid, it's got calcium lactate. I think

(26:14):
there's some magnesium and very important stuff for your teeth,
biodent bios. These are all good things for good, strong,
healthy teeth. So if you get a tooth problem and
you're not sure, contact us. We'll be glad to help you.
There's a lot of things you can do and they're

(26:35):
a lot less expensive then going to the dentist. And like,
we have a lot of people with insurance, but their
insurance doesn't pay very well. And what they do is
you get charged that same amount whether you have insurance

(26:56):
or not, and you've got to pay the difference and
that stuff for a lot of people. There are some
insurance companies out there that write some reasonable things, but
one of the things is bad about almost all the
insurance companies, whether it's dental or health, is they have
people on the other side whose job is to look

(27:18):
at every claim and reject as best they can. They
are not in the business of paying claims. So just
because you think you've got great insurance does not mean that. Now,
if you have a really good insurance plan and you
work for a really, really great company, it may pay

(27:39):
enough where they leave you alone. But that's hard. So
back to brush your teeth in the morning when you
wake up, mouthwash once a day, both products, no fluoride,
floss your teeth before bedtime, then brush and you should
be doing pretty good. And you can brush during today

(28:01):
if you need to. Most people don't don't have that
ability if they're at work. And even if you're not
at work, you probably don't think about brushing your teeth
during the day, but when you wake up and at
night before you go to bed, very important. So Susie,
anything else, no, Heil, how about you?

Speaker 8 (28:27):
Yeah? Well, you know, the last couple of dentists that
I had were very much opposed to fluoride products. I
think that there's a growing awareness of that and people
are a dentists are understanding that there's things that happen
also for the clay of floridder are really not worth

(28:52):
it they I think again, from what I remember talking
to these fellows was that general dental hygiene in this
country is really pretty bad. And the thing about brushing
a lot is to try and get a lot of this,
a lot of the food out from between the teeth,

(29:12):
whether the k will start. But you know, the people
hurry enough to get out of the house in the morning,
they just don't do it. And again it's a choice
of how much how much effort at changing lifestyle do
we take to kind of take care of our our
health and most folks just don't think about it a

(29:32):
whole lot.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
Yeah, I think you're right, and it sounds like, Uh,
the last couple of dentists that you've dealt with were
very very rare, because so many that I talked to, uh,
and so many patients were still being told, you know,
you need to get your teeth cleaned every six months.
And like I said, I do you remember growing up, Bill,

(30:00):
if they were of them, they were still telling people
the brush to you bleed.

Speaker 8 (30:07):
I never heard that. Yeah, that was that.

Speaker 3 (30:10):
Was real popular. I don't remember where, but I heard
about it for many years. And they said that's what
they were told when they were kids.

Speaker 8 (30:21):
Yeah. No, I never heard that until until you said tonight. Yeah,
I'm like, a pretty stupid idea.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
Yeah. Well, but they thought it was good. They this
goes way way back to the idea bleeding was pershing,
and so they thought they were doing something good. But
that was not good. All right, guys, Well, this is
doctor Grouper's Natural Health Hours. It is the fifteenth of October,
and we're broadcasting in a little cooler temperature. It only

(30:53):
hit like ninety something today. Almost had to put my
big coat on and right now my outdoor fronts that
says eighty three degrees, so we are almost freezing. Hopefully
it'll stay that way and start getting even a little cooler.
And I'm not even gonna ask Susie and Bill where
they're at, because they're always cooler than where I'm at.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
Everybody, all right, we are back.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
Welcome back to doctor Cooper's Natural Health Hours. It is
October fifteenth, and we've got the full crew tonight and
we're so grateful to have everybody back. We were talking
about dental stuff, and I just leave you with this

(35:02):
brush in the morning, toothpaste with no fluoride, natural as
you can find, mouthwash maybe once a day, no fluoride,
and at the end of your day floss, then brush
rints and you should be good to go. And I

(35:24):
recommend you have a right to do whatever you want,
but I recommend no six month cleaning. Going to the dentist,
in my opinion, should only be when you have no
other choice, if you're in so much pain and a
tooth is killing you. There's things we can try, and
a lot of time it's very successful. But sometimes once

(35:44):
they get that bad, it's been building for a while
and maybe what we want to do is not going
to be fast enough to stop all that pain. But
you know that's going to be your call. But there
are a lot of things we can try. All right,
We don't have any other comments from Susie or Bille
on this stuff. We'll jump right in here to some

(36:07):
of the wonderful humor that we find on this show.
Susie hit this made me think of a lot of women.
The woman says to the people that she's talking to
that handle funerals and all that good stuff, the undertakers

(36:31):
at the martuary or whatever it's called. She said, when
I die, I want to be buried with my husband,
even if he's still alive. That's as cruel, that's as cruel.
All right, I know both you fell out of your

(36:53):
chairst laughing. I'm sure all right. There was a blonde
and she got a brand new car, and she was
going to visit a friend who was just a couple
hours away. And when she came back, it took her
three days, but it only took her two hours to

(37:14):
get to her friends going there. And the mom came
out and said, what happened? What took you so long?
And she said, these damn new cars. They got three
or four gears for going forward and only one gear
said return. So she put it in reverse and drove
home that way. That's pretty good, all right, Susy. I'm

(37:40):
sure you're going to agree with this. Huntley's probably there
and he'll agree says, how do you know when a
woman is getting ready to say something really intelligent, the
sentence will always start with A man told me, And

(38:03):
I gotta agree with that. That makes sense, all right?
All right? The guys said, my girlfriend and I have
been together for five long years. And he said, we
just found out today she's pregnant. He said, I'm going

(38:24):
to miss her. That was one from the dark one.
Susy right. Wife says she calls her husband on the
phone and he answers, and his wife says, where are you?
He said, I just got back from home Depot. What's
going on? She said, you forgot I went with you,

(38:50):
because guys kind of get a little carried away at
home Depot, all right. And then the last one, a
man is at the super Bowl and he's in some
pretty nice seats and I think all of them are
pretty expensive, and he notices the seat next to him

(39:13):
is empty at the super Bowl in pretty expensive seats,
and he asked the guy next to him, he said,
what's the deal with this empty seat? I can't believe
it at super Bowl? He said, Well, that's my wife's
used to be my wife's seat, and we used to

(39:34):
go to all the Super Bowls together, and she passed away,
and the guy said to him, well, couldn't you have
found another family member, you know, or a friend or
somebody to go with you? He said, no, they're all
at the funeral. All right, that was good. I don't

(39:57):
care what you say, you know, Yeah, choice super Bowl
or a funeral where nobody's going to be there anyway.
I'm thinking that's a hard but who knows. All right,
So back to the issue with my patient that had

(40:20):
the stroke. I pray none of you ever go through this,
because it's a really bad thing. You'll notice their balances off. Probably,
you'll notice sometimes the memory is not right, little things
are different, and I've I have noticed when you have

(40:42):
those kind of issues, and I've dealt with stroke patients before.
Just let them go. You don't need to remind them
or let them know they forgot to do this or
But one of the things that's nice whenever you're around them, hell,
help them if you're outside going somewhere, help them walk,

(41:04):
hold their hand, just to steady him. They most time
they can do really well, but every once in a while,
like what happened to my patient the other day that
left foot, which is the numb side bumped into a
little lip coming in from a patio into the house

(41:27):
and didn't feel that and it threw their body with
the force like I've I'm just still in shock thinking
about it. It was so sad, hard to the floor,
and I mean the toe was stubbed and swollen and
black and blue. The knee was swollen and black and blue.

(41:51):
The one arm all tore up. Luckily they were okay.
Other than that, I mean, it was just amazing, scary
but amazing, And it's so frustrating. This employer. They put

(42:12):
her through hell with paperwork and a lot of paperwork
that her doctor had to do, which is me. And
they would ask like, fill out this farm for your
requested leave of absence. Well that's not what she was doing.
She never filed the claim for anything, and now they're

(42:35):
telling her her claim was denied, but she never filed
a claim, So I don't know what they're talking about.
Nobody is really saying much of anything. They keep passing
the buck and the person that I called to update
them about the difficulty with balance sometimes because that would

(42:58):
be very dangerous at an office, even if somebody picked
her up and took her to work, and she would
like that she's got cabin fever and would like to
get out of the house once in a while and
go back to the office. That would have been a
good thing had all this not happen. But that person,

(43:19):
she thought, was a kind of like a friend, if
as close as you get to having friends at work,
I guess, And this person's a supervisor, so she thought
that they would be more receptive and caring, and they
wouldn't even take the phone call from me, but they

(43:39):
made sure they called somebody else and cried and complained
that I shouldn't call them. The doctor should not call
them because she can't do nothing. Well, I told the patient,
you need to write him back and tell him your
doctor didn't ask him to do anything. He was trying
to give him an update. And in the past, anytime

(44:03):
you have a company or insurance company, people like updates.
They like to know what's going on with the patient.
So I thought that was a good thing, and it
would help them to know that you don't want this
person falling down at work. They can't drive to get there,
so if you got them there somehow and they fell

(44:26):
and got hurt, they might be changing the name of
the company to their name, and you don't want to
get into that. So I give them an update helping
them make better decisions, and I guess they didn't want
to hear it because they wouldn't even talk to me,
and that's never happened. Usually they want to talk to
the doctor. So I thought we were doing good there,

(44:49):
and then the other day she hears this conversation out
here's it sees an email conversation saying that, yeah, she's
going to be working from home. They're talking about her.
And then about a week later, here's that your claim
has been denied. Well, if you don't file a claim,

(45:12):
I don't know what they're talking about. And this is
something I don't think has ever happened to this company.
They don't have a procedure or a policy. Everybody's just
passing the buck because they're all a bunch of spineless jellyfish.
But somebody could have made a decision. All you had
to say was great employee number one almost every single month.

(45:37):
And what they do, they're going to have to work
from home, which you're doing fabulously right now. It's no
inconvenience to anybody. And if they're worried about somebody else complaining.
Is somebody else want to have a stroke? I hope not.
I mean, it's a horrible, horrible thing. And I'm so

(45:59):
proud of this a patient of mine that has still
been working and struggling, because most people would have filed
for disability by now, and this person wants to work
and likes what they do and really loves working for
this company. And thought the supervisor that I called today

(46:21):
was a really good person who would care. But that
turned out not to be true. The true colors of
this person came through today. Susie anything on all that.

Speaker 7 (46:35):
It's almost like they got the internal memo from a
lawyer to not talk to you.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
Yeah, you might be right. I've never run into that.
I've had lots of patients with these problems, and usually
they like the information. And then today they had the nerve.
After all the paperwork and the nightmare and faxing and
mailing and emailing, this guy contacts her and says, you

(47:12):
don't want to have your doctor contact this person because
they can't do nothing, and you might want to submit
more documentation. So I told her right back and tell
them number one, your doctor was giving them a friendly

(47:32):
update so they can make better decisions, and never asked
anybody to do anything and let them know that all
the information and paperwork concerning this stroke and this patient
has been submitted. So then the guy came back and said, well,

(47:54):
the head of HR I'll get with her next week.
So here we got a situation where they've never had
this kind of deal. They keep saying the claim's been
denied and that was from a third party outside of
their company. I mean, that's how childish this is, that
somebody could have just made a simple decision. This person's

(48:18):
working their butt off and doing great right where they're at.
Why do we want to mess that up? They haven't
done anything to deserve that. They're doing a good job
for us, But instead they quickly kicked the can up
the field to an outside contracting firm that handles leave

(48:40):
of absences. Made no sense, None of the paperwork had
anything to do with the situation. And then one of
the things they had to nerve to say last week
was that somebody high up said transferred to has nothing

(49:02):
to do with your employment, but falling down they might
want to think about. So, I don't know, I've never
heard of nothing, so ridiculous, and because it's family, it
irritates me even more. But it would irritate me no
matter what, Bill, what do you think.

Speaker 8 (49:24):
A couple of things, Well, why would you want to
keep looking for a company like this? And the second
thing is, don't you have hippo problems with calling an
employer about a patient? Say that again, don't you have

(49:46):
hippo problems? There's a conflict there. Don't You're talking about
a patient with a third party, and particularly an employer.
That doesn't that create some issues?

Speaker 3 (49:59):
Well, they already know I'm her doctor that she told
me nothing.

Speaker 9 (50:05):
But yeah, usually whenever we've had to do things like that,
they were all kinds of the patient had to sign
a disclaimer, they had to be forwarded to the you know,
all kinds of stuff that go. You just we were
not able to talk to and even in private practice
to talk if somebody's somebody's spouse called up and said
how is he doing or how is she doing? Uh,

(50:27):
we can't say, well, yeah, but.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
I already have her permission to deal with them. In fact,
she's wanted it. She's never had anything like this in
her life, and this has really made her nervous and
anxious and uncomfortable because she's trying to think I'm doing
a really good job. I didn't ask for anything. I

(50:52):
just wanted to let them know that I can't drive,
and I have trouble walking, and I can work very
productively from the home office. That I was just giving
them courtesy because they mentioned they might want to bring
us back to an office. And what's really sad about
this the office that she used to work at has

(51:14):
been rented out to another company, so the old office
they don't have. I don't even think they know where
they're going to go. But it would not matter if
it was a few miles. She couldn't drive, and after

(51:35):
watching her, she does pretty good walking. But after the fall,
it just brought to light that there's no way you
can risk being in an office that has stairs or
curbs or any of that stuff. And the last time
they had an office that was on the second floor

(51:55):
and they had to walk. So I don't know, but yeah,
the hip of stuff is fine because she's given permission
and she wants me to talk to him. But this
is not a case where there was an insurance claim
filed or any kind of a claim at all. This

(52:16):
was just merely. She heard them talking about maybe returning
to an office, and she thought she better let them
know early so they don't have to buy equipment and
do stuff to set her up an office or a
desk because she can't do that. She thought she was
doing something great, and she's blown away that this happened.

(52:39):
She can't understand it. And I, on the other hand,
have worked as an electrician, and I've been in unions,
and I've been a shop steward, and I've been the supervisor,
and I've negotiated contracts, I've negotiated our attended arbitrations. I've

(53:02):
owned my own office, I've had employees, so I've been
on all the sides of this, and I've seen a
lot of evil in all that time. So for me,
a lot of it doesn't surprise me. But this surprised
me because they they brag about her so much and

(53:23):
then stab her in the back and tell her your
claims denied, which nobody knows what that means, because she
didn't fell out a claim for anything. She hasn't asked
for anything. And I tried to tell them too. They
didn't know this ever since they started working from home.

(53:44):
The starting time is nine o'clock. Well, she goes to
work at seven point thirty every morning since they started
working from home long before the stroke. And I asked
one time, why are you doing that? So I just
like to check and see if there's anything that needs

(54:04):
my attention, get my day lined out. And I'm thinking, Wow,
what an employee. I mean, I said, wis had you
working for me in my office? So I'm at a loss.
I don't understand the evilness with this. I've never seen
a case because usually people that have these problems are

(54:25):
on disability and they're not trying to work. But she's
trying to work and doing a hell of a job.
They're very happy with her work, and they would have
never known she had a stroke if they didn't start
saying we're going to bring people back to an office.
Maybe so I don't know anything, guys.

Speaker 7 (54:49):
Yeah, these people, these people are they're messed up. And
you know what you just said, they wouldn't have even
known that she had a stroke, according to our productivity,
if they hadn't decided to, you know, bring everyone into

(55:12):
the office. That's that's a good little dinger right there.
For a lawyer.

Speaker 3 (55:20):
Yeah, they're our producer mentioned that a couple of weeks ago,
and I looked up a special law firm in our
area that covers uh pretty much. I think Houston, Austin,
Dallas maybe, uh, maybe Beaumont, and they specialize in the

(55:40):
a DA South American Disabilities Act stuff. But I, for
the life of me, I cannot imagine a company stupid
enough to tell a stroke patient that you need to
come to work, and knowing that a stroke patient usually
has disabilities and in walking, some of them really bad,

(56:06):
some of them less, and why would you want to
bring them and force that issue. And then on the
other side of that, what kind of company takes an
employee that they have raved about over the years, and
do they want to fire them because they had a stroke.

(56:27):
I mean, there's got to be a special place in
hell for somebody that could do that.

Speaker 6 (56:33):
Anything.

Speaker 3 (56:34):
Bill Nope. I mean it's frustrating for me. I feel
very helpless because I'm the doctor and I'm part of
the family, and I wish I could do so much more.
And it's very expensive to get attorneys. They want quite

(56:58):
a bit of money just to a zoom uh consultation,
you know that, And I don't know how it works.

Speaker 7 (57:08):
If they end up representing you quite Uh, there's there's
a few pro boo in that a da field of law.

Speaker 3 (57:20):
Well we will find.

Speaker 7 (57:23):
Well because and the problem with that is that they're
just gonna want to sue. They're gonna want to sue
for you know, a certain amount of money. Well, then
you tick off the company and like I, like I've
said before, they're gonna look for one little thing to

(57:43):
be wrong and after that retaliate would be my fear.

Speaker 3 (57:51):
Yeah, but see it seems like they're already doing that
by telling her that your claim was denied and she
didn't fill out a claim. That that's like a double
negative of craziness. But I can't figure out if they're
planning on firing her, telling her if you can't get
to work and if there's a chance that you might

(58:14):
fall down, we're going to fire you for that. I mean,
to me, that's absolutely crazy. But I don't know. I've
never run into this before. I've never had a patient
in all my years of doing this stuff that ran
into these kind of problems. Usually they would go get

(58:34):
disability or whatever and not you know, they wouldn't even
want to work. And I said, these people It's funny
that supervisor that wouldn't even take the call is the
one that raved about her the most, and now they're
acting like, we can't help you. Well, we're not asking
for help. All she wanted to do is is keep working.

(58:58):
And all I did, I volunteered. She didn't ask me
to do it. I just wanted to give them an
update so they could think about what if she falls.
You know, that's another thing that she had never told
them that because she didn't think about it. So I'm
just trying to make it easy for everybody that you
can make a good, common sense, decent decision. And I

(59:23):
don't know, I don't know what they're going to do.

Speaker 7 (59:26):
So what is it called when you get some kind
of award or whatever to your company? Is it called
not accommodations? But I forget what it's called, you know,
like a write up, you know, employee of the year
or whatever you want to call it. Has she gotten

(59:49):
any of those things?

Speaker 10 (59:51):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (59:51):
Yeah? And does she have copies of those things?

Speaker 3 (59:56):
That I don't know. I'd have to ask her, But
I do know that she's been like number one. And
it's funny a lot of people go to her for
help and she's not even a supervisor, and she didn't
want to be a supervisor. She didn't want she dislikes
what she does, so I don't know. Well, we're at

(01:00:20):
break time, guys. When we come back, we'll let Bill
take off with his weekly topic, and please listen to

Why it's a harty.

Speaker 3 (01:03:53):
Nothing but a hard hit you every too late. All right,
welcome back to doctor Crooper's Natural Health Towers. We're going
to jump right in. Let Bill take off on his

(01:04:15):
weekly topic. Take it away, Bill, Yeah, Well, I was.

Speaker 8 (01:04:23):
Thinking about what what to talk about this week, and
he kind of came to it from from the other side.
But essentially what I'm talking about and certainly was evident tonight,
is stress and how how that plays out. I mean,

(01:04:48):
we all talk about stress and all this kind of stuff.
We're talking about gttle things. One of the things that
we watched for with people, or we used to watch
for it with people when they would come into an office.

Speaker 9 (01:05:03):
With are are they do they grind their teeth?

Speaker 7 (01:05:09):
You know?

Speaker 8 (01:05:10):
Are they clenching their jaw? This is of course not
real healthy for any part of your devil work, whether
it's natural or or implants or or bridges or whatever.
Grinding your teeth is has all kinds of negatives of
that can come from that. And uh, again, as it's

(01:05:34):
primarily a symptom of stress. Well, thinking about stress, they're
essentially two kinds, and they're they're frequently blended. I don't
find them being separate. But you know, in physical stress
and stress that comes from from an illness or an injury,

(01:05:58):
or either either one of those will cause a disruption
in a lifestyle, depending on the severity of the injury.
Causes a lot of anxiety, causes a lot of what
what am I going to do? Is like your your
patient who had an injury, uh, cerebral injury, and it

(01:06:22):
made a tremendous difference in what her outlook uh the
rest of her life is how does how does that deal?
Is that that that's a little stressful. The other the
other kind of stressor that we encounter is as a
psycho emotional stressor that when bad things happen not necessarily

(01:06:46):
to you, but bad things that happen that are not
uh physically injurious or health health illness or healthcare kind
of stuff. But yeah, you know, things in her traumatic
old of things in our environmental And again I'm using
the term environmental to describe something that happens to personally,

(01:07:10):
your own personal environment or your family environment. When something
bad happens as you're experiencing with your with your relative,
you're feeling a tremendous amount of stress because of something
that didn't really happen to you, but happened to somebody
that was close to you? Is that still stressful? And

(01:07:31):
how does and I think the point of will is
is how does that? How does that play out? I
know Susan's talk about this. I'm certainly experienced that, but
a lot of times we're not really aware of how
intense the stress has become. They's built up gradually over
over weeks, months, sometimes years, bad relationships which can be

(01:07:59):
difficult to get out of for all kinds of reasons.
People stay in them for a long long time that
they're essentially very destructive, and then personally to their personality,
to their their psyche and their outlook. It's traumatic. And
remember that the German word for dream is trauma, so

(01:08:22):
it's it's a different kind of reality. When something chromatic
happens to us, it's a different one of the different
realities that we all experienced. But when the stress it
builds up and we're really not aware of it, one
of the you know, we begin to get to the
point where physiologically we can we can feel it. We

(01:08:45):
feel a lot of tension on our in our chest,
our breathing is it becomes distorted. You know, We've known
for many many years. It stress that goes on trees.
It can cause heart attacks, because strokes can cause all
kinds of very serious physiological results. And how do we

(01:09:06):
how do we become aware of our own stress levels
if if they haven't been very abrupt or very severe
over but have built up over a long period of time. Well,
one of the primary symptoms of stress is physical exhaustion.

(01:09:27):
We're too tired to do anything. We don't have energy
to take a walk. All we want to do is nothing.
All we want to do is kind of sit and
kind of hopefully regenerate. But this is tremendous loss of energy,
usually indicator of a fairly substantial stress level. And again

(01:09:48):
that that loss of energy can manifest itself and in
a physical way. We don't want to go into where
it takes. It takes too much effort to walk from
one end to the house to the other. It wears
us out. To do the dishes, I don't know does
anybody do dishes anymore? Do they all put them in
a dishwasher? To do housework, to do the most ordinary

(01:10:13):
things of our lives, we find that it is exhausting.
We just we you know, we do one or two
things and that's basically it for the day. Okay, it
means stress levels pretty high tyco emotionally, the stress kind
of plays into depending upon the severity. Does it effect

(01:10:36):
our memory? Does it affect our ability to communicate? Does
it affect our ability to find some substantive enjoyment in
our existence? Again, and this can all be so gradually.
If it occurs over a year or two years, it's
going to be more difficult to identify them. The people

(01:10:58):
call it exhaustion, will call it burnout. To me, those
are two slightly different things falling under the general category
of the key stress will stress. Stress requires a tremendous
amount of energy. It takes a huge amount of energy
to just survive being stressed out, as we used to say,

(01:11:22):
and not being always aware of what causes that stress,
it doesn't really help things. So how do we how
do we begin to a understand that we're dealing with
a with a an amount of stress? And once again
is as you you talk about from your nutritional point

(01:11:44):
of view, everybody, everybody responds a little differently. Everybody is
a little unique, everybody has their own way of dealing
with issues. And so what what might be very stressful
for me, may not be stressful at all for you.
It just depends on our experience, on what we grew
up with and how we look at things, how we

(01:12:05):
live in our lives. But to identify that we're dealing
with stress is often eighty percent of the battle. It's
so gradual and insidious that we don't often no one
except that we're just off. We don't want to do
stuff when it's not our usual self. How do we

(01:12:27):
begin to be able to backtrack and try and figure
out what's causing that? Why are we stressed? What basically
stress comes from a sense of powerlessness. Something has happened
to us. We're overwhelmed, We can't we're out of control.
We have no control over what that situation is or was.

(01:12:53):
If we can PenPoint.

Speaker 7 (01:12:56):
What that.

Speaker 8 (01:13:00):
Stress or is, if it's a personal relationship, then that
gives us something to work with. If it's a personal relationship,
maybe we need to end that relationship. What's more important?
Is it more important for us to continue in a
really disruptive outlook or do we begin to take a

(01:13:24):
sense of control back and say no, I don't need
to do this. I mean, it doesn't have to be
an entire relationship that is eliminated or changed. I think
that in every relationship there are things that do we
like very much about another person. There are perhaps a

(01:13:44):
few things that we really don't like about that person. Well,
is a relationship worth ending because of the things that
we disagree about? Sometimes it is. Sometimes the disagreements are
so profound. If there's no saving, there's no salvation to
the relationship, there's no saving the relationship. That's one of

(01:14:07):
the ways that we handle stressors. Another way is to
a great believer in denial. It's just you know, and
I know I've talked to this. I had a friend
a number of years ago. He's gone now, but there
were a couple of things that we were very deeply
disagree about, deeply disagree about it, and we've learned simply

(01:14:35):
not talk about those. So denial is not always a
bad thing. If in this case, a relationship had so
much more to offer than to end, and over a
substantial disagreement about something that nobody's going to change your
mind anyway. So what do you want to do? You
want to end your relationship, you want to continue being

(01:14:56):
friends that continue this friendship, and again that's it. But
it comes back that I've as I said, to take
control and not be so reactive to a situation with
a physical injury as as your patient. There's there's a

(01:15:21):
chance that things may not change. There's always no matter
what that injury is, what the illness is that it
may have been, it may be so severe that there's
no there's no option. I'm stuck with this, you know,
I've I've lost a limb in a car accident. I

(01:15:43):
can't have it grow back by by wishing it. What
am I going to do? What am I going to do?
My choices are if it's sage enough to or to
continue living, or and if so, okay, what what do
I need to do? Or if I don't want to
continue living.

Speaker 3 (01:16:00):
What do I need to do?

Speaker 8 (01:16:02):
But it's it's getting rid of that feeling of being overwhelmed,
of not having any sense of control over what's happening
to us or how we're reacting to things. It's part
of the very difficult part of being stressed out. And
I think that as having watched a lot of people

(01:16:22):
over the years try and deal with this, that they're
there is often a reluctance to do to do the
hard headwork here and figure out really what's the stress
or what is causing all of this. You know, if
it's a spouse and there's there doesn't seem to be
any indication that there's that the relationship or their perspectives

(01:16:43):
are going to change. Yeah they have, they don't want
to put up with it rather than they go through
all the disruption of the split up. You're okay, that's
a choice, but but at least you've made a choice
about that. And and I think by having made that decision,
you've created at least the impression of a sense of

(01:17:05):
self control again, of having made a choice to stay
in an unpleasant relationship because the alternatives are more unpleasant.
It's a can't a processes of not responding so emotionally
to situations and realizing that, you know, kind of as

(01:17:30):
you were indicating den it was, it's up to you.
You know, what do we do here? What we how
do we deal with this? How am I going to
deal with this? Because ultimately how I deal with it
is my choice. I can get all kinds of advice
about stuff, but nobody really understands my situation as much

(01:17:51):
as I do, unless they've known me all their life,
Unless they were unless they were me and have had
that experiential basis or my outlook. So one of the
things about offering advice is is that the advisor needs
to be perfectly comfortable with having his advice not taken.

(01:18:12):
You know, we're, as therapist says, as chiropractors were given
so much information, but only so much. We're not given everything,
and it takes a long time to fill out the
staving at points. Well, yeah, we're trained how to do that,
and we hopefully do it occasionally, but ultimately it's the

(01:18:34):
individual's responsibility to decide, Okay, this is where I am,
these are my options, this is what I'm going to do?
How do I get my control back? And so the
response to being stressed is to take take your life back,
take your control back. It wasn't that it was taken

(01:18:56):
from us. We just kind of gave it up gradually.
We may not even have known that we were giving
it up, but we lost it. My god, it's mine.
I can take it back if I want to take
a little work, But what are my options? And are
my options things that I can live with? Am I

(01:19:16):
going to be comfortable? So anyway, that kind of gets
into fatigue and emotional and physical fatigue as resulting from stress.
So stress is kind of a gateway what I call
a gateway disorder. It's kind of like the pressure is
the gateway disorder for anxiety, and both of those are

(01:19:37):
gateway disorders for perhaps more substantial psychological disorders pronoia or
any of that group. One thing leads to another and
if we can can short stop it, we save ourselves
a lot of grief. But as my dad used to

(01:19:57):
say in at Easy the game, uh, which comes from
the old Shiver McGee and mulley radio shows, and Mulley
used to tell, oh, shiver it yep a eight easy McGee,
get on with it. Hey, there you go.

Speaker 3 (01:20:15):
Well it's always very interesting, good stuff. I think that's
a good goal to get your life back and not
let other people control things. Pretty interesting, cisy anything.

Speaker 7 (01:20:32):
Yeah, uh, I've had to do that quite a few
times in my life. I think the first thing is
recognizing what exactly it is, and then from there you
can make decisions and sometimes they're they seem hard at

(01:20:54):
the time, and then time shows whether you were right
or whether you were wrong in your decision. M hm.

Speaker 8 (01:21:08):
You know, it's interesting you put it that way because
I've I've said for many years and I certainly never
practiced this a whole lot. But I don't think there
that there are wrong decisions. I think they are learning opportunities,
and there when we make when we make bad choices
about this, when we make wrong decisions, I think it's

(01:21:29):
a chance to say, well, oh that wasn't a good idea,
Let's try something else right, and and to move on.
I I you know, it's too easy to get stuck
in having screwed up, and a lot of folks do.
There's certainly been times in my life and I've just
kind of kind of relished having screwed up. It's convinced

(01:21:49):
me that I'm still human. But it's not real productive,
you know, And how do we how do we take
take an experience it didn't work on, how do we
turn that around into something positive and say, well, I
ain't going there again. It's an important that's a good point.
I think that you you know, you kind of drifted

(01:22:10):
into that sideways, but it's it's an important thing to
understand that if you know, if we make a decision
it isn't working out right, we don't have to stay there,
and we can make another one. We can screw it
up worse, we can do all kinds of things. But
we were not stuck, and we can. I think we've

(01:22:31):
all we've all got the capability to move ahead. And
that's again a very individualistic process, but it's it's one
that I don't think we should ever forget. We can,
we can make changes and we can we can't move on.
We can become complete.

Speaker 7 (01:22:55):
Makes me think about my mother. She had this saying,
amongst many that was, well, let me back up, preface
it with I know I do I overthink things, yes,

(01:23:16):
and you know sometimes they can, they can get you
in trouble. But my mother's saying was, keep keep it simple, stupid.

Speaker 8 (01:23:27):
Yep, yep, the old kiss routine. Keep it simple, stupid.

Speaker 3 (01:23:35):
Can you imagine being in the same room with Susie
and her mom, h I would enjoy that, it would
be it would be interesting.

Speaker 7 (01:23:49):
Later later in life we could we could butt heads. Uh,
I would. I wouldn't say later in life. I'd say
probably about forties.

Speaker 3 (01:24:00):
I was like years old.

Speaker 7 (01:24:03):
No, no, I was a perfect little child. I was
told that I like to touch things in the store,
and I got my little hands spanked a few times,
so touch that. And so my mother would tell the
story where I would walk up to something and I

(01:24:23):
would hold my finger real close up to my side
and I would point and I would say, oh pretty,
and then I would say, don't touch, Snoozie, don't touch.
So I'd be telling myself, but I would I don't know,
probably somewhere between thirty five and I wasn't even forty yet.

(01:24:43):
Around thirty five thirty six, we hadn't moved down here,
and you know, I wanted to raise my kids my way.
And she had come down here to visit from Dallas,
Carrollton actually, and so we went to go pick up
the kids from school. It was like a Friday, and

(01:25:06):
they knew she was coming, and they had this thing,
you know, if we act up, she's not gonna do
anything in front of Grandma Pete ha ha, hide and watch.
And so I'm in my mother's car, driving in her

(01:25:26):
little convertible, and so we're heading to our house and
they start arguing in the backyard. I mean the back seat.
I've got a sixth grader. Now I've got a fifth
grader and a sophomore, and I tell him, y'all cut
it out, and I look in the rearview mirror to

(01:25:50):
give them the Mama look, because I know they know
when I get quiet when I'm driving, look in the
rear view maryor to see my face. Well then my
mother tells me, Siddy, they're just being kids. You don't
need to get onto them. And I remember saying, they're

(01:26:13):
my kids, I will raise them. Well, I just don't
think that you need to be talking to them like that.
And I said, well, I don't think you need to
be talking to me like this and telling me how
to be a mother. And she said, well, let me
out of the car and we're on the highway. Well

(01:26:33):
it's a rural highway, too lane. I pulled her car
over to the side of the road and said get out.
Well she didn't, and I didn't make her. But what
was funny was that, in a roundabout way, this straightened

(01:26:54):
my kids up and they were sitting up straight, bug eyed, going,
oh my gosh. Grandma Peggy said let me out, and
Mama pulled over to let her out. So then we
all laugh. But that's who raised me. Now, y'all got

(01:27:18):
a little hint on it.

Speaker 3 (01:27:21):
That's that doesn't even surprise me. That doesn't even surprise me.
I bet you too, were you were really a pair.

Speaker 8 (01:27:36):
I don't think it matters how old we are, but
our parents are still learning how to be parents.

Speaker 3 (01:27:46):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 8 (01:27:46):
I don't think the process ever stops. You know, it
don't matter one hundred you're still trying to figure it out.

Speaker 7 (01:27:54):
Well, yeah, you're you change. Yep, you know, I'm not.
I'm not eight years old anymore. I'm thirty five or
thirty six. I've got my own kids that are older
than that, so you have to it's a venutia. It's

(01:28:22):
like I'm the daughter, she's the mother. I've got kids,
but don't tell me how to raise my kids, and
don't talk to me like I'm your daughter and I
shouldn't be talking to my mother like that. So it's
an interesting it's an interesting phenomenon.

Speaker 3 (01:28:45):
It would have made for a good TV show.

Speaker 7 (01:28:50):
Oh no, they wouldn't have bear that.

Speaker 3 (01:28:54):
I was watching the other day Sandford and Son. They
were showing some clips and the stuff they did back
then they wouldn't allow him to do today. I'm sure
the lefties would have ruined it. But it was funny stuff.
Married with children, Sandford.

Speaker 8 (01:29:13):
And son and.

Speaker 7 (01:29:17):
All in the family.

Speaker 3 (01:29:19):
Yeah, they had never made it today, but they were
so funny. And you look back at Fred Sandford. I
remember he was talking to that lady. I don't know
her name, but he didn't like her, and she was
giving him a hard time and he said, I'm about
to give you exorcism and she said, you silly old man,

(01:29:41):
what are you talking about. He said, I'm about to
beat the devil out of you. They would have never
talked that way, and the lefties would have went crazy,
especially Archie Bunker, Oh my god, calling his son in
law meeting.

Speaker 7 (01:30:01):
He still is a meathead.

Speaker 3 (01:30:04):
And and Al Bundy. Al Bundy told his kids one
time he's getting up to go fishing, and he said,
when your mother wakes up, and you know she will
because she knows I hate that good stuff. All right, Well,

(01:30:26):
we're at break time, guys. When we come back, we'll
have Susie doing her recipe stuff. Hopefully it's got booze.

Speaker 3 (01:33:01):
Of thesis and all right we are back. Welcome back

(01:33:27):
to doctor Cooper's Natural Health Howers. It is October fifteenth,
and our Susie, who's usually by now nipping on the
tequila a little too much with her tea, needs a
little help with the family business. And I happen to

(01:33:49):
know from good authority me that the name of the
company is Reimagine the Hopes and Dreams Construction, Susie.

Speaker 7 (01:34:02):
No, that's close renovation and design custom homes. We do
remodel and we do new construction. We're located in Texas
Hill Country. You can go to doc Cruper dot com.
Go to the about page and scroll down about three
quarters and there's a link that will take you to

(01:34:23):
our website and we can be reached at eight three
zero three seven seven two one three one.

Speaker 3 (01:34:31):
All right, take it away, miss recipe woman, or should
I say Granny from the Beverly Hill Village.

Speaker 7 (01:34:38):
Yeah, right, put you out inside the road. So this
is a no bake, imagine that you don't even have
to get your kitchen hot. And it reminds me a
little bit of rum balls. That's a Actually, I think

(01:35:02):
I have that recipe in a newspaper clipping that my
grandmother cut out, and I think it's set from the
Dallas Morning News nineteen sixty five. Rumballs. We'll talk about
that when it gets closer to Christmas. That's a Christmas
tradition around here. So thinking about this, and you said,

(01:35:25):
hopefully it has alcohol in it, there is rum in rumballs.
You could use extract, but we never did. You know,
if you want it to be kid friendly, you could
use extract, but when you heat it, you're going to

(01:35:47):
cook off the alcohol. So in this case you're not
cooking anything, so that would probably be like an adult treat,
not for kids.

Speaker 8 (01:36:00):
So this is I think to give.

Speaker 7 (01:36:04):
Proper credit because I think she's worth tons of money
and she has probably more lawyers than me. Pioneer woman
recipe and so pretty simple. A cup of pecans and
chopped and then one cup of Graham cracker crumbs, and

(01:36:29):
I've gotten that organic at natural grocers. I think Annie's
has a brand. You have to be careful with Andy's,
especially in their frozen meals. They'll have canola oil, but
so far they're graham crackers. My husband likes and we

(01:36:53):
keep them on hand. So that's why this is so
much like a rumball, but it's not cooked. Half a
cup of powdered sugar. Now you can get organic powdered sugar.
To me, sugar is sugar, and I don't I don't
want it, I don't need it. You could use half

(01:37:18):
a cup, maybe a little bit more of ayu lo's.
I know we've talked about this a few weeks ago.
I don't see the harm in it being derived from
figs and kiwi and I forget the other fruits. But
this wouldn't be a DOC friendly recipe if you used

(01:37:41):
half a cup of powdered monk fruit. But organic powdered
sugars out there for folks that don't have an issue,
and it's a half a cup, so half a cup
of unsweetened cocoa. I tend to go with I tend
to I always go with the organic. I never go

(01:38:03):
with Hershey, I don't like the company, their policies, their politics,
or the ingredients that they expose us to. Half a
cup of unsalted butter, just softened you don't want to
melt it, and a quarter of a cup of maple syrup,
a teaspoon of vanilla, quarter teaspoon of salt, and then

(01:38:27):
you'll need a cup of semi sweet chocolate chips. I
like to use lily. There's you know, some other good
ones out there that use cane sugar and non gmo
and then just a little extra chopped pecans for garnish
if you wanted to do that. So so basically you're

(01:38:53):
mixing everything together. Well, you want you want to whisk
together your your chopped pecans and your grain cracker crumbs,
powdered sugar and cocoa pattern and salt, and then just
make sure you've got that all put together. It says

(01:39:15):
a separate bowl. I see no reason for that. Your butter,
your maple syrup, and your vanilla, and of course it
says you know, then you combine these. You can use
a wooden spoon, a hand mixer. I think it's just
gonna get clocked in the in the beaters. Just use

(01:39:36):
a wooden spoon or spatula. So then you're going to
uh mix this. It's gonna until it's combined well, and
it should be uh really, it should be thick and

(01:39:57):
just slightly sticky if it feels too dry, you know,
add you know a little more maple syrup a teaspoon
or half a teaspoon at a time until you get
it to the consistency that you won't and then you're
going to place this in the fridge for like thirty minutes.

(01:40:19):
Just cover it with some plastic wrap and it helps
it to firm up, because then you're gonna make you're
gonna make the balls. Take it out of the fridge
and you can use your hands. You can use a scoop.
A scoop that holds about a tablespoon would be perfect.

(01:40:42):
And then you're just gonna roll these little balls, set
them aside, you know, on a parchment paper. Then after
you get all of those done, you're gonna want to
and just so you know, you're gonna end up with
about twenty or twenty five of these. Now, let me

(01:41:02):
back up. If you did want to add the run
before you added more or additional maple syrup, would be
the time, because you don't want this to be too thin.
And that's just an option. I'm going out there. It's
kind of fine for the holidays, and so you're going

(01:41:30):
to put these little balls in the refrigerator, So put
them on a cookie sheet with your your parchment paper.
Then you're going to and here's one of the things
we don't like number one. We don't like buying good,
expensive chocolate chips, and you could use dark chocolate that's

(01:41:55):
even healthier for you. But this recipe says has the
nerve to say, you know, put your expensive chocolate, healthy
chocolate in the microwave to melt it. It's you can
take a saucepan and put water in it and then

(01:42:16):
put a glass bowl. If you have a double boiler,
go for it. I've never bought one because I don't
see I don't have the need. Stained steel saucepan, a
glass bowl that fits over the over it nicely, like
on the edge. You'll want it to sink down in.

(01:42:39):
You don't want it to get you know, steam in there,
which adds moisture. And have the water just touch the
bottom of your boat and put your chocolate chips in there,
whichever you want, milk, chocolate or dark. Let that melt.

(01:43:00):
By the time that's done, it's not gonna take thirty
minutes to melt, but about fifteen minutes through. Your little
pecan balls sitting in the fridge, you could start to
start your chocolate. So pull those out of the fridge,
I say, stick a toothpick in them, and then you

(01:43:22):
can kind of roll them around in that chocolate and
then put it back onto your parchment paper if you want,
you could put like it suggests, some additional chopped pecans
while that chocolate is still wet, or more and more

(01:43:44):
companies are coming out with natural, naturally colored sprinkles. You know,
you could do that instead of pecans, you could do coconut.
So there's variations to what you could do with this recipe.
And like I said, well, no, I didn't say that.

(01:44:10):
I'm going to say that. Now what I do with
the recipes is I put them at a rumble which
is doctor d. R. Krupa's Natural Health Hours. By the way,
go over there and give it a like. It would
greatly appreciate it. It grows the channel and helps with

(01:44:31):
the algorithm so that more people see this and you
can come back and if you have subscribed, which is free,
there's no charge to that, and find our recipes over
the last several months. So that's it. It's all about.

Speaker 3 (01:44:53):
Well, yeah, now that you made me feel bad for
drinking as a kid. You know, it's funny. All of Europe,
everybody drinks, They drink wine at all the meals and
nobody thinks about that. But in this country, for some reason,
we decided all that was bad, and I think that's

(01:45:16):
why they had a lot of problems with people drinking,
because you made it something terrible, so people started doing
it because it was treated like it was bad and
then they had to sneak it. But in Europe, I
didn't see any of that. Everybody drank wine, and I'm
not much of a wine person.

Speaker 8 (01:45:33):
But they.

Speaker 3 (01:45:36):
All drank things like in I think it was Greece.
Where is it uzzo? It's like a little shot, tastes
like licorice a little bit, but everybody had something they drink.

Speaker 8 (01:45:49):
What did you say, No, anis is made from Anish? Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:46:01):
German kids drank beer when we lived over there.

Speaker 5 (01:46:05):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:46:05):
Well, part of my family was German and part of
it was Scottish and Irish and all that. And I
remember as a kid they had this ceramic cag and
they made beer ever since I was a little kid,
and we always were giving little tastes of stuff growing up,

(01:46:27):
so it didn't didn't think much about it. My grandfather's
side of the family I think was from Scotland, because
I remember my mom telling me a whole bunch of
Scottish families would go visit down in Van Buren, Missouri,
where they grew up. So I guess because his uh,

(01:46:48):
his name was Hill, so I guess that's Scottish. I
don't know, but everybody was used to drinking and we
didn't turn out too screwed up. I think everybody in
those days. Everybody smoked in the house, so you breathe
the cigarette smoke. You started out drinking early and we

(01:47:13):
all survived. We drink out of the water hose. Oh
my god, you did that today, you'd probably die in
the yard. I still think every time they I remember
that letter telling me that don't drink the water, but
we're building you anyway, terrible.

Speaker 8 (01:47:33):
Don't drink the water. It's kind of like dodat the
yellow snow.

Speaker 3 (01:47:37):
Yeah, well, Susie, that recipe sounded good to tell. You
said something I heard. You cussed. You said something about Munkford.

Speaker 7 (01:47:50):
That's sinful, just giving people options.

Speaker 3 (01:47:54):
But you know, I think you're probably right. If I
would have tried it more, you'll probably get where you
adjust to it like it. You're used to it. You've
probably been using it for so long you don't think
anything about it.

Speaker 7 (01:48:08):
Yeah, I don't, I don't have an aftertaste.

Speaker 3 (01:48:12):
Yeah, I did that in the kale. I love that
line where the guy said, you put a lot of
oil in with your kale so it slips smoothly into
the trush can.

Speaker 7 (01:48:26):
Yeah, if you're gonna do that, then't waster your bacon grease.

Speaker 3 (01:48:30):
Yeah. And I love the uh Brussels sprouts sautee and
butter and garlic and sea salt. But you're you're not
a fan of them, but you like the kale, So.

Speaker 8 (01:48:45):
I have to have the.

Speaker 7 (01:48:46):
Brussels sprouts so covered in well, actually my favorite. If
I'm gonna well, you know, it's kind of wrong to
take such a nice expensive sheet He's like good yere
and put it on Brussels sprouts. But you know that's
that's an expensive cheese. And if I if I were

(01:49:11):
to do, you know, like a Brussels sprouts for the holidays,
it would definitely have bacon, garlic, butter and goodiere cheese.
And by this time, by that time, you don't even
know there's Brussels sprouts in it.

Speaker 3 (01:49:30):
Yeah. How about you, Bill, you like Brussels sprouts or kale?

Speaker 8 (01:49:35):
Yeah, I've always liked Brussels sprouts and uh kale was
sort of a recent addition, uh to my childhood. But yeah,
it's okay, Yeah, russell sprouts.

Speaker 3 (01:49:46):
I love now okra. I've grown okra, and I'm not
really sure why because unless it was fried like the
like the Brussels sprouts, I didn't care far too much,
but a lot of people do. And I remember the
okra growing like a tree.

Speaker 7 (01:50:08):
Yeah down there with all the humidity, I wish I
had that kind of well, the heat and the humidity.

Speaker 3 (01:50:15):
I would be glad to send you the heat and
the humidity.

Speaker 7 (01:50:19):
I don't want it. I'm just glad it's cool and off.
I was up at six this morning and I went
outside and it was almost chilly and the sun wasn't up.

Speaker 3 (01:50:32):
Yet, and.

Speaker 7 (01:50:34):
I'm nice, had a cup of coffee. But okra, there's
only my dad used to love stewed okra, which meant
with tomatoes, and that was so nasty. And my son
is a weirdo and he looks pickled okra and that's nasty.

(01:50:55):
When I grew it, I kid you not. I will
make him two or three jars of pickled okra, but
the rest of it, and this is just a hint
for anyone who wants to put it up in their freezer.
I put organic non GMO corn meal, salt, pepper, maybe

(01:51:18):
a little bit of cayenne pepper, and a baggy. Then
I cut my okra. And of course they always say,
don't wash it because it gets gummy. Well I wanted
to get gummy because I want it to be coated
in the corn meal, and so I just dump it

(01:51:39):
in a gallon baggy and shake it up, put it
in the fridge the next day. Well, if you've grown okra,
you know you're picking okra the next day and the
next day and the next day. If you don't, they're
two feet long and you could kill an intruder with them.
And so that's the way I put up okra and

(01:52:02):
put it in the baggy with cornmeal.

Speaker 3 (01:52:04):
You like okreville.

Speaker 8 (01:52:08):
If it's uh, yeah, I don't like it stewed, because.

Speaker 5 (01:52:15):
There is.

Speaker 8 (01:52:17):
An Irish poet who described a dish from Ireland. But
I think it's apropos to ochre did it? It looks
like snot.

Speaker 7 (01:52:29):
Yes, Susie.

Speaker 3 (01:52:35):
When they say like all of our grandmothers used to
do because they didn't have refrigeration when they say they're canning,
Are they pickling or is that a different procedure.

Speaker 7 (01:52:47):
That's different, that's pickling you're you're going to have, or
it can be the same because when you put up
your pickles, you put you put your cucumbers however you
want them, in Hamburger slices or you know, whole or spears,

(01:53:09):
and you stuff a jar with it tightly, and then
you've got the hot liquid, water, pickling spices, salt well,
and also you could add, you know, a couple of
clothes of garlic, You could add sprigs of deal. You

(01:53:30):
could add you know, some pickling. Well, it depends on
what you're pickling. And I haven't done pickles in so
so long, so I haven't looked at it. But you
pour that hot liquid into your jars, and then you

(01:53:53):
put your sterilized caps on top, then your rings, and
then you sit and wait for that pop.

Speaker 3 (01:54:01):
Yeah, I remember that, you know what I've noticed. I
like traditional pickle flavoring better than I do the fermented pickles.
But I love the fermented juice. I haven't quite figured
that out because I love all that all of my
pickled juice. I've got one of every kind, and I

(01:54:26):
drink some every single day. But some of the pickles
don't taste as good to me as a regular deal pickle,
or a bread and butter pickle or Hamburger slices, that
kind of thing.

Speaker 7 (01:54:40):
Maybe it's the texture. I don't think every single vegetable
or fruit ferments well, like we wouldn't want to fermanent strawberries.
I mean maybe if you were going to make like
a jam.

Speaker 3 (01:55:01):
Yeah, that doesn't sound good. I just noticed that I
liked the juice, you know, the all of my pickles,
all the juices, I love them. But the taste of
the pickles, it's okay, but it's not to me as
good as the other kind of pickles. And I'm not sure,
I guess just me.

Speaker 7 (01:55:20):
So there's this I don't know if you remember or
ever watched that series Swamp People. So I was flipping
through YouTube and I saw this one guy. He's really,
really really Louisiana. He's the definition and I had to

(01:55:45):
watch this show. It's like fifteen minutes or less. And
he made pine needle sprite and he said that his
grandmother taught him and they used to make it when
they were kids, and they walked around and they picked
this long, long leaf, you know, long needles washed in

(01:56:07):
his his words, where you don't want no bugs in
your sprite, and cut the ends off that are sticky,
and then they're these these pine needles were so long
that they had that. He cut him in half and
then put him in a quart jar, and he put

(01:56:29):
like five tablespoons of sugar in it, filled it with water,
put the lid on it, and in five days he
had what he called sprite's and it was fermnted fermented
pine needles.

Speaker 3 (01:56:47):
Interesting. Interesting, Well, well it's already that time of the night. Bill.
Do you have any special kind of food that you
really like that you have a head in a long time?

Speaker 8 (01:57:04):
Mm hmm, oh, not especially, as I said some time ago,
I like I especially like farm food, and I don't
much like a fancy food. Well, way too much work
to go true. But I had an interesting recipe and

(01:57:24):
I'm going to try that in the next match of chili.
I make about putting chocolate in it semi either either
like a tablespoon in a in a crock bottle, you know,
a good sized cockp a tablespoon of semi sweet or
bitter chocolate. You can't identify the taste of the chocolate

(01:57:47):
in a chili, but it brings out the flavor in
all the spices that you put in it.

Speaker 3 (01:57:53):
Interesting.

Speaker 8 (01:57:55):
That's kind of an interesting idea. So I think I'm
going to try and see how that flies.

Speaker 7 (01:58:00):
If you can find if you can find Haaso t
a z O, I've seen that nance Grocer's has it.
It's a Mexican chocolate and it's absolulutely perfect for what
you're talking.

Speaker 3 (01:58:19):
Sounds good. I gotta try that. I gotta try that. Yeah, guys,
I guess that time, Susie. Anything you want to close with?
I think I interrupted you there.

Speaker 7 (01:58:30):
I was just gonna say, he's right for a big pot,
you know, Dutch oven whatever, A tablespoon of chocolate. That's
that's plenty.

Speaker 3 (01:58:40):
Sounds good. Anything you want to close with before we
wrap it up?

Speaker 7 (01:58:44):
Nope, Bill, Yeah, I.

Speaker 8 (01:58:49):
Was unsuccessful at trying to remember a couple of jokes
about rumbles.

Speaker 3 (01:58:59):
And Susie said that I get stuff from the dark web. Interesting.
All right, guys, Well, great show. Glad to have you back, Bill,
Glad the whole team's here. I still say last week
my back was killing me, and somehow I got through

(01:59:20):
the show, and it was hurting a lot, but I
felt better doing the show. So I think there's something
therapeutic to what we do.

Speaker 8 (01:59:32):
I hope, because I know it works on us sitting down.

Speaker 3 (01:59:38):
And I'm trying to work on the pump bringing the
Scotch in here during the show so I don't have
to struggle. But anyway, it is that time, ladies and gentlemen,
where we thank you for tuning in. We've got nine
or ten nations that are listening, not counting the United States,
so we got people all around the world, and we're

(02:00:00):
very happy and humbled, and we have a great team
here and I know you love them as much as
I do, and without them, the show would not be
the same. So I'm so grateful for what we've got
and it's just fun. So May God bless you all

(02:00:21):
with health and happiness and keep your lives peaceful, free
and safe. And as you know, it is time for
good scotch, good cigars, and good night.

Speaker 8 (02:00:39):
Good night all.

Speaker 7 (02:00:41):
You're not anyone, God bless.

Speaker 5 (02:00:45):
Seems the love I've known has always been the most
destructive kind. I guess that's why now I feel so
old before my time. Yesterday when I was young. The
taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue.

(02:01:11):
I teased at length, as if it were a foolish game,
the way the even breeze.

Speaker 3 (02:01:19):
May tease a candle flame.

Speaker 5 (02:01:21):
The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned.
I always built to last on weakened, shifting sand. I
lived by night and shunned the naked light of day.
And only now I see how the years ran away.

(02:01:43):
Yesterday when I was young, and so many happy songs
were waiting to be
