Noise-cancelling headphones can block unwanted external noise at work, on public transportation or during exercise. According to the report titled, "Noise Cancelling Headphones Market," The noise cancelling headphones market was valued at $13.1 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $45.4 billion by 2031. However, using noise-canceling headphones may be damaging YOUR brain, doctors are now warning.

you the health Alternative of the Week, health outrunch of
the Week, We've got a product recall to tell you about,
and we'll end the hour with the health mystery of
the week. And in between all of those, we're going
to squeeze in the top ten cities where you're more
(03:15):
likely to get sick. They figured this out. I wonder
if you're living in one of the cities in the
US where it's high likelihood of you getting sick, Well,
you have to stay tuned in to find out. We'll
have that list a little bit later in the hour,
but we begin with the topic of noise canceling headphones. Now,
(03:37):
I've received a set of these noise canceling headphones in
the past. I think it was like a Christmas gift
that I got from one of my family members who
realizes I don't like the noise of jet engines and
all the noise that happens on planes when you're trying
to fly and all this chitter and chatting is going on,
(04:00):
and you're trying to rest and just kind of chill
back in your seat and all this noise gone. So
they bought me a noise canceling set of headphones. This
was years and years and years ago. I don't even
know where they're at today, honestly, but this caught my attention.
The headline noise canceling headphones may be linked to a
rise in a specific brain condition. Lots of people rely
(04:25):
on noise canceling headphones to tune out distractions at work,
on public transportation, during exercise so they can focus in
and get into that zone, or on an airplane like
in my case in the past, but frequently using this
(04:45):
noise canceling headphone technology to tune out your surroundings maybe
damaging your brain. That's what doctors are now warning about.
Can you imagine that you get to set a headphone,
pick a brand, and on that you know there's some
type of a warning, like a warning sample on a
(05:08):
pack of cigarettes, that if you put these headphones on,
you may damage your brain. Can you even imagine that well,
it may be happening. Five audiology departments. Audiology, of course,
it means ear, study of ear and hearing audiologies are
experts in the area. Five ideology departments claim that they've
(05:33):
seen an increase in young people who have hearing issues,
and upon further testing, they've discovered that the problem doesn't
lie within the ear itself, the mechanism within the inner ear,
but it's actually caused by a brain problem. Doctors are
(05:54):
seeing a rise in young people with hearing problems who
then pass hearing tests. Many of these people are being
diagnosed with auditory processing disorder APD. I need't even know
that condition existed until I read this auditory processing disorder.
We have all these names and abbreviations and acronyms. It's
(06:18):
how doctors get paid. By the way is get to
that code. It's a neurological condition that interferes with a
person's ability to process sounds well through someone with ADP.
Though someone with ADP will pass a hearing test no problem,
(06:39):
meaning their ears are functioning as they're supposed to, they
may have trouble deciphering more specific elements like sounds, like
where a noise is coming from They may also have
trouble understanding another person speaking in a noisy room, or
(06:59):
if that person is speaking fast, they'll have a hard
time perceiving what they're saying. These people may need things
repeated or take longer to reply in a conversation. One
expert said, and I quote the brain processing these electrical
impulses into sounds, then into words, and then into meaningful
(07:22):
sentences and ideas. That's how it works, and most of
us do it effortlessly. Some people have problems in converting
these electrical neurons, these neuronal impulses into meaning. Medically, these
problems are called central auditory processing disorders. Other symptoms include
(07:44):
trouble remembering spoken instructions, difficulty listening to music, or challenges
in learning new languages. This condition, this ap D condition
auditory condition typically starts in childhood, affecting two percent to
(08:04):
seven percent of kids. It can also affect their ability
to read and spell. In those cases, it's actually caused
by an illness like a head injury, low birth weight,
or chronic ear infections or meningitis. But this rise in
(08:24):
young adults with ADP is new to these audiologists in
the auditory field. The condition inhibits the brain's ability to
process sounds. The observation is adults' brains may forget how
to process ambient noise because of widespread headphone use there.
(08:46):
It is widespread headphone use may be generating this condition
that doctors are picking up on these ideologists and in
using noise canceling headphones, you have almost created this fault
environment by wearing those headphones of only listening to what
(09:07):
you want to listen to, all that noise canceling can
cause your brain to overcompensate. According to David McAlpine, an
academic director of mcquarie University, hearing which can lead to
increased sensitivity and what he calls listening loss. If you
(09:32):
have a listening loss, it's like changing your brain's encryption.
Even if you can change what you're hearing, you may
not get back to the brain's state that you had before.
It's not reversible. Doctor McAlpine goes on to say in
(09:52):
a quote, I do think that we've let the big
tech companies co opt our listening habits, monetize it and
sell it back to us. Their solution to the hearing
problem is probably creating a listening problem that many young
adults have been using headphones like these since adolescents, isn't
(10:13):
helping those more complex, high level listening skills in Your
brain only really finished developing towards the late teens. So
if you have only been wearing noise canceling headphones and
been in the false world for your late teens, then
you are slightly delaying your ability to process speech and noise.
(10:37):
So there you have it. I mean, these noise canceling
headphones may be linked to some brain condition that you
don't want to have, and if you have a set,
you might want to look it up and find out
more about it. All right, stay tuned because when we
come back from this break, we're going to get to
this week's health alternative of the week. You're tuned into
(10:58):
the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
And he said.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Sunday out of you give the changers to them.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Liked you account.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Doctor Pogo was a gift and you got eternity to
thank you about what you do with it?
Speaker 5 (11:18):
What did you do with it?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
What did I do with it?
Speaker 4 (11:24):
What would Scott welcome you back to the Doctor Bob
Martin Show. Thank you so very much for tuning into
the program. We'll get back to more of the calls
on the Doctor Bob Martin Show Caller Hotline, people calling
(11:46):
in listeners of this radio show calling into the show
with their health related question or their health related comment.
And you can also do the same thing anytime you like,
anytime of the night or day. You'll hear me answer
the phone. I'll ask you to state your first name,
first name, only, city and state, and then your question.
Here's that number eight hundred six zero six eight eight
(12:09):
two two eight hundred six zero six eight eight two
to two. Or the website for more information about healthnews
at doctor Bob dot com, spelling out the word doctor.
It's time now, ladies and gentlemen, for the Health Alternative
of the week. All right, The Health Alternative up the
(12:39):
week is compilation of many things, but it really addresses
one thing, and that has to do with getting sick
during six season, which we are in right now, cold
and flu season. You can use supplements nutritional supplements or
have them on hand for when cold and flo strikes,
(13:00):
and it will strike eventually the vast majority of people.
The occasional cold and flu is pretty much unavoidable for
human beings. But that doesn't mean you and your family
have to feel miserable and sick for a long period
of time. Keep your supplement cabinet stocked with products that
support a quick recovery at the first side of a
(13:24):
cold and flu and help you to reduce your risk
of getting sick in the first place. Starting with multi vitamins.
Even though the goal is to eat well, you should
always eat well. Get organic food whenever possible, lots of
fresh fruits and vegetables, more of a Mediterranean style diet
as opposed to the sad diet, the standard American diet,
(13:50):
which is the sad diet. And I hope you're not
eating it. Change it up if you are. It's possible.
There are plenty of books on the Mediterranean diet out
there or the Hawaiian diet that you will live long
and prosper and not get sick and live longer. You will.
But even though the goal is to eat well, picky
eaters and life sometimes gets in the way. Right, A
(14:14):
good multi vitamin multimineral formula will contain most of the
basic nutrients necessary for optimal health and optimal immune function.
We're talking about vitamins A, C, D, E, vitamins B
two B, six B twelve and also methylated folate. You
(14:38):
don't want to eat take a B complex vitamin that's
just full of acid because there's about twenty five percent
of the population has this gene issues where they can't
process the full of acid. So get the methylated B
complex and of course the minerals iron, selenium, zinc have
that in the multimineral. You want to work on where
(15:01):
the immune system resides with this week's health alternative of
the Week in a compilation. Where the immune system resides
is in your gastrointestinal system, your gut. About seventy percent
of the immune cells are there, and that system gets
rocked with everything from drinking chlorinated tap water to taking
(15:24):
medical drugs like aspirin, ibuprofen. Leave. All of those drugs
destroy the healthy flora, antibiotics, chemotherapy, they destroy the healthy flora,
the good, healthy, friendly bacteria that keeps your immune system intact.
So what you have to do is have to replace it.
You have to put the good bacteria back there. And
(15:45):
to do that, I suggest doctor Oh, here is probiotics,
because studies have shown that children taking probiotics experience fewer
respiratory tract infections. And when they do get sick, they
are sick for less time, they miss less and that's important.
So doctor o'heres probiotics number two, number three elderberry syrup.
(16:07):
I'm been a big fan of this for years. I
once interviewed a PhD. Virologists from Israel, doctor Madeline Munchuglo,
and she taught me how important elderberry is as a
plant to small tree shrub. When taken at the onset
of illness, whether it be a cold or of fluid,
(16:28):
helps to reduce the severity and duration of viral respiratory illness.
The bonus it tastes great and it's easy for little
ones to take. Next on the list is honey. Yeah,
honey has a lot of therapeutic value. A spoonful of
honey is a simple and effective cough suppressant. Studies have
found that about one and a half teaspoons of honey
(16:48):
pure honey now before bed is an effective is very
effective as an over the counter cough medicine for reducing
cough and severity and improving sleep. You don't want to
cough all night long. You disturb your sleep, You disturb
your body's immune system. Wanting to get in there and
get after healing the infections. So taking a teaspoon and
(17:08):
a half or so of honey should never be given
by the way to a child under the age of one.
That we need to point out, So no honey for
children under the age of one, But for everyone else
with a cough that you want to suppress or shut
down so you can get a good night's sleep, honey
is the way to go. Get the good one over
(17:30):
at the health food store, not the cheap stuff. Next
on the list is vitamin D critical. I call this
the anti flu vitamin. Most immune cells have vitamin D receptors,
and studies have found that regular vitamin D supplementation helps
to protect against respiratory tract infections and the flu. So
(17:52):
during the winter months, particularly when we can't get sunlight
so that ultraviolet rays can convert choless strolling our skin
to vitamin D, you need to supplement it with it
or double down on it during the winter season. And
of course, last, sleep is critical to humans. The immune
dysfunction is one of the many negative side effects for
(18:14):
not getting enough shut eye, enough snooze time, So make
sure you're sleeping well because a lack of sleep affects
a wide range of immune cells and increases your susceptibility
to infection no matter what you're doing. A quick rundown
of what we just talked about in the health Alternative
of the Week multi vitamins, doctor oheres, probiotics, elderberry syrup, honey,
(18:37):
Vitamin D and sleep and there are others too, But
at least now you have a list to reduce your
risk going forward of colds and flus or if you're
struck down with one, how to get over it faster.
That's the key. All right, let's go to your phone calls.
Next up is Alex in Walker, Iowa.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Doctor Bob Barton. I use vascular defense. I mean, this
is Alex from Walker, Iowa. I used that vascular defense
and I did other things, beat kind of a beat
fast and lost twenty twenty pounds and I got my
blood pressure fantastically, miraculously normal, normal reading. My sister is
(19:26):
on li cenerprol Now, how can you kind of explain
how mally your sister got off her medication, how she
worked at safely without causing any problems, because my sister
wants to do the same thing. Thank you very much, sir, doctor.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Okay, Alex, thank you for your phone call. Yes, you
took vascular Defense by Sun Nutrition, just for the value
of people listening right now. Vascular Defense it's a nutritional
supplement by Sun Nutrients over at subnutrition dot com. And
your blood pressure was lowered miraculously. Now you lost weight,
(20:10):
which people when they lose weight, that's one of the
risk factors for high blood pressure, being over weight. And
you also did some Beat juice, which is good, but
there is a beat concentrate in the vascular defense formulations.
You shouldn't even have to drink Beat juice if you're
taking vascular defense. It's one of the ingredients inside the formulation.
(20:35):
But you did, and you just sped things up a
little bit more. Now, Alex, I don't want to short
answering your question. I also want to address your other
side of the question as well, So we will take
this break, will come back, I will finish up with
your question, and then we'll go to the health outrage
(20:58):
of the week. Stay tuned on doctor Bob Marchin.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Everybody's got fain mistakes, but everybody's got a choice to make.
Everybody needs a leave of faith. When are you taking yours?
What are you infuen sut sound.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
If you're tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin Show. Appreciate that.
Thank you for that, and we'll get back to our
marathon question answering session here on the Doctor Bob Martin
Show Caller Hotline momentarily. But I want to also let
you know, should you have a question about your own
(21:46):
health or somebody else's health, you can certainly call the
Doctor Bob Martin Show Caller Hotline phone number at eight
hundred six zero six eight eight two two eight hundred
six zero six eighty eight two two one eight hundred
six zero six eighty eight twenty two to get into
that collar hotline and state your question. You'll hear me
(22:08):
answer the phone. I'll ask you to state your first name,
first name, only, city and state you're living in, and
then your questions. That simple, and do it anytime of
the night or day. You can do it right now
if you want. One eight hundred six zero six eight
eight two two now. Coming up very shortly here will
be the health outrage of the week. And before that
(22:29):
I'll finish up the question of our last caller, Alex
from Walker, Iowa. But first this ladies and gentlemen. You know,
in medicine, in healthcare in general, we like to use
initials and acronyms for long protracted words, and this is
(22:51):
no exception to the rule when we're talking about palmittoy lethanolamine.
Palmittoy lethanolamine is a substance that is in very minute
quantities in food that have special therapeutic value to the
human body. But you don't have to worry about that big,
(23:13):
long word. All you have to worry about is remembering
the word p as in green peas, but except it's
just singular P pea. That's short for the special nutrient
found in small quantities of certain foods like egg yolks
and other foods. But there's not enough therapeutic activity. You'd
(23:35):
have to eat like thirty eggs to get a therapeutic
come out of this pea substance to be valuable to
your health. Scientific research shows that pea what I'm talking
about here, can I address muscle pain and recovery arthritis symptoms.
It can improve your mobility and your range of motion,
even your cognitive health, and a multitude of other health concerns,
(23:58):
including allergies, respiratory symptoms, and even fibromyalgia by taking a
supplement called pea and because of the anti inflammatory actions
of pea, researchers have investigated its ability to relieve pain
in a variety of conditions including sciatica, neuropathy, temporal mandibula,
(24:19):
or joint of jaw joint problems, plus the incidentific research
on the most common forms of arthritis that would be osteoarthritis.
This pea supplement from Terry Naturally Vitamins has lowered levels
of inflammatory markers, slowed damage down that's happening in the
cartilage between your knees and other joints, and swelling. So
(24:41):
if you are looking to improve your overall health, consider
supplementing with Pea by Terry Naturally Vitamins for the relief
of both chronic and acute pain, better physical recovery from injuries,
and improve mood and focus, and a more robust immune
system response. Take Pea by Terry Naturally Vitamins. To find PEA,
(25:05):
go to your health food store and ask for it.
It's available nationwide, or you can go to Terry Naturally
Vitamins dot Com, Terry Naturally Vitamins dot Com, or finer
health food stores to find the supplement pea. All right, Now,
prior to taking the last break, we had a caller
by the name of Alex calling it from Walker, Iowa,
(25:30):
and he was extolling the virtues of taking a supplement
that he learned about on this radio show called Vascular
Defense by Sun Nutrition, and his blood pressure when he
took it, along with losing some weight and taking some
beat juice, miraculously, was lowered his blood pressure. Now he
wants to help his sister that's taking a drug called
(25:54):
Lissinapril that's for lowering blood pressure. And he talked about
when I discussed my sister who is also taking the
vascular defense but he wants to help his sister with
his blood pressure. My sister Mollie was taking Eloquist for
blood clots in her lower extremities. However, high blood pressure
(26:18):
and blood clots have a potential comedy nominator, inflammation. We
talk about it all the time on the show. So
this formula that we discussed on the program he took
called Vascular Defense by Sun Nutrition over at Sunnutrition dot
Com may also help your sister, Alex. But I would add,
if she needs to lose weight, she should that's important
(26:40):
it's very important to do exercise, maybe walk one to
three miles per day if she's able to do it,
work on lowering her stress level. For her high blood pressure,
she should stay away from the standard American diet or
the SAD diet, eat a more Mediterranean style diet. Lastly,
regarding your sister for her blood pressure issue, and I
(27:01):
also recommend she monitor her blood pressure at home with
a self checking blood pressure instrument. You can get them
at drug stores. They're very inexpensive these days. Because if
her blood pressure starts going down while she's on the
liscentipril and then taking let's say Chiolic blood Pressure Formula
one oh nine or blood Pressure Health, which is another
(27:24):
formula blood Pressure Health by Terry Naturally the vitamins, she
should report that back to her doctor so her doctor
or her pharmacist can slowly remove the liscentipril if her
blood pressure normalizes with these changes that she's going to
make in her lifestyle, her diet and taking supplementation, and
of course I suggest she monitor her blood pressure at
home and report those changes to a health care provider
(27:49):
with the hope that she can lower or get off
of altogether the lis cinipril. Now I appreciate you calling
it her behalf. All right, It's time now, ladies and
gentlemen for the health outrage of the week. Health outrage
of the week. She's like, you don't believe it. Come
on each time for the health outbreage because it's not
(28:12):
of bullet. It is outrageous. And Robert F. Kennedy Juniors
all over this, the current Health and Human Services Secretary.
How the FDA lets chemicals pour into America's food supply.
We need to dismantle and change that FDA. What a
worthless set up that is. Joseph Shea, who sells athletic
(28:33):
wear in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, wonders and worries about
the food he eats. The chemical ingredients with mystifying names,
the references on product labels to unspecified natural or artificial flavors,
the junk food that fits his budget but feels addictive
(28:53):
and makes him feel unwell. Mister Shay, one of one thousand,
three hundred and ten people who responded to a poll
the Health Policy Research Group KFF conducted on healthcare priorities,
said he assumes the FDA is making sure the ingredients
are safe, and in many cases it's not. The FDA
(29:15):
restraints on food ingredients are limited and relatively feeble, especially
compared to those in Europe. A KFF Health News examination
found there are at least nine hundred and fifty substances
in our food supply, and I know there's a lot
more than that in the United States that are not
(29:37):
permitted in Europe. What do they know that we need
to know? According to one experts estimate, the chemicals link
to health problems show up in hundreds and hundreds of
products that line the shelves of American supermarkets. We need
to change that up, ladies and gentlemen, and that's why
it qualified as the health outrage of the week. I'm
(29:58):
doctor Bob Martin.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
So.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
I'm a budding number, sum incible.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Be have one ever single.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Stop a little today.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Well, you happen to be juned into the largest and
longest airing radio health talk show in America, and that
is in large part thanks to you, and I so
appreciate you being here and telling other people about this
radio show so they too can take advantage of the
information we bring to this table about our most precious possession,
(30:53):
our health, and how to become your own best doctor
most of the time. That's what the show is all about.
All right, now we have for you this week's installment
of the product recall of the Week. Here we go.
The company Laorel recalls popular Laroche Passe acne treatment over
(31:17):
a cancer causing chemical discovered in the formulation. Lorel has
recalled all us lots of its efaiclaire duo acne treatment
due to concerns that it may contain benzene, a known carcinogen.
Efa Claire duo, a product sold under the brand label
(31:39):
Laroche Passe, contains benzo peroxide. When exposed to high temperatures
or UV ultra violet rays, this ingredient can degrade into
the carcinogen benzine. Loreel's recall comes one year after Veilschure,
an independent lab in Connecticut, sounded the alarm that many
(32:00):
products on store shelves contain benzoil peroxide also contain high
levels of benzene. The chemical is classified as a known
human carcinogen by the International Agency of Research on Cancer
National Toxicity Program and the Environmental Protection Agency. And I'm
saying to myself, what after a year, whoa we need
(32:21):
more oversight here, we need more control of these things.
In the first place, it takes a year to get
a carcinogenic cancer crossing agent out of a out of
a skincare product for acne. Really well, if you were
in her if we were in Europe, it wouldn't have
even gone into the product in the first place. What's
wrong with this picture. Let's hope Robert M. Kennedy Junior,
(32:44):
the new HHS Secretary, cleans up and fixes the problem
once and for all. That's the product rehole the week.
We move right from the product of the recall of
the week to the top ten top ten list. Here
we go top ten cities where you're more likely or
(33:04):
most likely to get sick. I'm not saying call your
travel agent or called the moving company move out of
that city. I'm just letting you know about where you
are most likely to get sick. And here we go
(33:25):
number ten on the list. Riverside, California, number nine on
the top ten list of where you're most likely to
get sick, Ogden, Utah, number eight, Chicago, Illinois, number seven, Detroit,
Michigan number six on the list of cities in the
(33:47):
US where you're more likely to get sick than not Fresno, California.
Number five, Las Vegas, Nevada. And now I can vouch
for that because there's been several times I've been there
on seminars of symposiums. It came out of their sick.
Could have been up a stand up late two. Number
four of the list, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. El Paso, Texas comes
(34:11):
in number three on the list of top ten cities
where you're most likely to get sick. Number two is McAllen,
Texas and the number one city in the US where
you're most likely to get sick. Drum roll, Bakersfield, California. Bakersfield, California,
where I know this radio show broadcast, by the way.
(34:33):
So there you have it, the top ten cities where
you're most likely to get sick and the product recall
the week. Let's get back to work, however, with your
telephone calls and questions. Next up, we say hello to
Judy calling it from Davenport, Iowa, where I was born.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
From Davenport, Iowa. I would like to know what I
can do to get rid of toe fungus.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Thank you well, thank you Judy for your phone call. Uh,
this is a tough one, but yet it's topical and
it's internal. How to get rid of toenail fungus well,
cut out all forms of sugar in your diet, Judy,
because this is a systemic problem. Fungal infection underneath the
(35:20):
toes means it's in your whole body. It's not just there,
that's just where you notice it discoloring your toenails, causing
them to heave up or you know, expand. It just
is systemic and you have to attack its systemic to
be successful. So you got to get rid of sugar
because sugar feeds these fungal infections. So make sure you're
(35:41):
not eating junk food all the time, candy, ice cream, soda, pops, pastries,
all of that. Dairy products also need to be removed,
as well as alcohol if you are serious about eliminating
the fungal infection. The other option you have is if
it gets bad enough on your toenails, you can have
a pediatrist just take a pair of pliers and remove
the nail. I'm not recommending that, ouch, it's not the
(36:03):
answer because the fungus who will come back once the
nail grows out. Of course, I've also recommended and treated
people with these fungle infections successfully with something called caprilic acid.
Caprillic acid again, these are all health food store related stuff.
You can get it in the health of store a
couple of capsules twice a day of that. And lastly, topically,
all of the stuff that I said previously, all internal
(36:26):
topically over the top of and underneath the nail as
far up as you can get it. Maybe put it
in some cotton and stuff it up underneath the nail,
and then go to sleep with socks on. Three drops
of oregano oil mixed with two drops of tea tree
oil and apply that topically to your toenails three times
a day, keep your feet dry after bathing with a
(36:48):
hair dryer. And lastly, purchase a book called the Candida Diet.
That diet will help you get rid of the fungle infection.
Thank you for your phone call. I'm doctor Bob Martine.
(37:11):

Eight hundred six to zero six eight eighty two is
the phone number one eight hundred six zero six eighty
eight twenty two. It's time now, ladies and gentlemen, for
the health mystery of the week. All Right revealed five
clues that an afterlife really does exist. For millions of humans,
(37:53):
death is seen as a final, inescapable moment when our
consciousness selves sees to function, But for others, it is
the start of a new life in a new realm.
The power point, the point where our souls exit our
earthly bodies and begin to the afterlife. So if some
believe death is getting out of one car and into another,
(38:15):
as John Lennon put it, while one anonymous thinker said,
beyond death's dark curtain lies the bright new dawn, well
number one the universe's limits. The universe size is unknown,
and it may or may not be infinite in extent,
but there's always a limit in how much humanity is
(38:38):
able to observe. That's number one of the five clues
that an afterlife really does exist. Number two truths in
the Bible. The second clue is the proven reliability of
the Bible, which speaks extensively about the realm. We call
Heaven to tell the truth. Number three. The third clue
(39:01):
emerges from encounters people have with unidentified flying objects UFOs, folks.
I know it sounds strange when you think about it,
but it's happening, and the solid science proves it there
are unidentified flying objects, then you have nd Number four.
The fourth line of evidence comes from extensive research on
(39:24):
near death experiences called NDEs, vivid and often life transforming
conscious episodes associated with death and impending death. I know
very credible people who have had these NDEs or near
death experiences, so I'm a big believer of that. And
number five on the list of the five clues that
(39:48):
and after life really does exist. Well. Lastly, and perhaps
most contentiously, is that praying is effective enough to suggest
the existence of a trend send it realm. Double blind
study suggests prayer has beneficial effects, implying that some kind
of entity is beyond our physical world is receptive to it.
(40:11):
People who are prayed for by believers in the Christian
God experience measurably more rapid and complete recovery from surgeries
or medically confirmed ailments than do people from whom no
such prayer is offered. According to doctor Ross, however, the
effectiveness of prayer is again greatly debated, and also has
(40:35):
been reported to have no little effect on outcomes too.
So there you have the health mystery of the week.
The five close that an afterlife really does exist. I'm
doctor Bob Martin. Be well,

later in this hour. Plus we've got teed up for
you the health Alternative of the Week, health outrunch of
the Week, We've got a product recall to tell you about,
and we'll end the hour with the health mystery of
the week. And in between all of those, we're going
to squeeze in the top ten cities where you're more
(03:15):
likely to get sick. They figured this out. I wonder
if you're living in one of the cities in the
US where it's high likelihood of you getting sick, Well,
you have to stay tuned in to find out. We'll
have that list a little bit later in the hour,
but we begin with the topic of noise canceling headphones. Now,
(03:37):
I've received a set of these noise canceling headphones in
the past. I think it was like a Christmas gift
that I got from one of my family members who
realizes I don't like the noise of jet engines and
all the noise that happens on planes when you're trying
to fly and all this chitter and chatting is going on,
(04:00):
and you're trying to rest and just kind of chill
back in your seat and all this noise gone. So
they bought me a noise canceling set of headphones. This
was years and years and years ago. I don't even
know where they're at today, honestly, but this caught my attention.
The headline noise canceling headphones may be linked to a
rise in a specific brain condition. Lots of people rely
(04:25):
on noise canceling headphones to tune out distractions at work,
on public transportation, during exercise so they can focus in
and get into that zone, or on an airplane like
in my case in the past, but frequently using this
(04:45):
noise canceling headphone technology to tune out your surroundings maybe
damaging your brain. That's what doctors are now warning about.
Can you imagine that you get to set a headphone,
pick a brand, and on that you know there's some
type of a warning, like a warning sample on a
(05:08):
pack of cigarettes, that if you put these headphones on,
you may damage your brain. Can you even imagine that well,
it may be happening. Five audiology departments. Audiology, of course,
it means ear, study of ear and hearing audiologies are
experts in the area. Five ideology departments claim that they've
(05:33):
seen an increase in young people who have hearing issues,
and upon further testing, they've discovered that the problem doesn't
lie within the ear itself, the mechanism within the inner ear,
but it's actually caused by a brain problem. Doctors are
(05:54):
seeing a rise in young people with hearing problems who
then pass hearing tests. Many of these people are being
diagnosed with auditory processing disorder APD. I need't even know
that condition existed until I read this auditory processing disorder.
We have all these names and abbreviations and acronyms. It's
(06:18):
how doctors get paid. By the way is get to
that code. It's a neurological condition that interferes with a
person's ability to process sounds well through someone with ADP.
Though someone with ADP will pass a hearing test no problem,
(06:39):
meaning their ears are functioning as they're supposed to, they
may have trouble deciphering more specific elements like sounds, like
where a noise is coming from They may also have
trouble understanding another person speaking in a noisy room, or
(06:59):
if that person is speaking fast, they'll have a hard
time perceiving what they're saying. These people may need things
repeated or take longer to reply in a conversation. One
expert said, and I quote the brain processing these electrical
impulses into sounds, then into words, and then into meaningful
(07:22):
sentences and ideas. That's how it works, and most of
us do it effortlessly. Some people have problems in converting
these electrical neurons, these neuronal impulses into meaning. Medically, these
problems are called central auditory processing disorders. Other symptoms include
(07:44):
trouble remembering spoken instructions, difficulty listening to music, or challenges
in learning new languages. This condition, this ap D condition
auditory condition typically starts in childhood, affecting two percent to
(08:04):
seven percent of kids. It can also affect their ability
to read and spell. In those cases, it's actually caused
by an illness like a head injury, low birth weight,
or chronic ear infections or meningitis. But this rise in
(08:24):
young adults with ADP is new to these audiologists in
the auditory field. The condition inhibits the brain's ability to
process sounds. The observation is adults' brains may forget how
to process ambient noise because of widespread headphone use there.
(08:46):
It is widespread headphone use may be generating this condition
that doctors are picking up on these ideologists and in
using noise canceling headphones, you have almost created this fault
environment by wearing those headphones of only listening to what
(09:07):
you want to listen to, all that noise canceling can
cause your brain to overcompensate. According to David McAlpine, an
academic director of mcquarie University, hearing which can lead to
increased sensitivity and what he calls listening loss. If you
(09:32):
have a listening loss, it's like changing your brain's encryption.
Even if you can change what you're hearing, you may
not get back to the brain's state that you had before.
It's not reversible. Doctor McAlpine goes on to say in
(09:52):
a quote, I do think that we've let the big
tech companies co opt our listening habits, monetize it and
sell it back to us. Their solution to the hearing
problem is probably creating a listening problem that many young
adults have been using headphones like these since adolescents, isn't
(10:13):
helping those more complex, high level listening skills in Your
brain only really finished developing towards the late teens. So
if you have only been wearing noise canceling headphones and
been in the false world for your late teens, then
you are slightly delaying your ability to process speech and noise.
(10:37):
So there you have it. I mean, these noise canceling
headphones may be linked to some brain condition that you
don't want to have, and if you have a set,
you might want to look it up and find out
more about it. All right, stay tuned because when we
come back from this break, we're going to get to
this week's health alternative of the week. You're tuned into
(10:58):
the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
And he said.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Sunday out of you give the changers to them.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Liked you account.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Doctor Pogo was a gift and you got eternity to
thank you about what you do with it?
Speaker 5 (11:18):
What did you do with it?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
What did I do with it?
Speaker 4 (11:24):
What would Scott welcome you back to the Doctor Bob
Martin Show. Thank you so very much for tuning into
the program. We'll get back to more of the calls
on the Doctor Bob Martin Show Caller Hotline, people calling
(11:46):
in listeners of this radio show calling into the show
with their health related question or their health related comment.
And you can also do the same thing anytime you like,
anytime of the night or day. You'll hear me answer
the phone. I'll ask you to state your first name,
first name, only, city and state, and then your question.
Here's that number eight hundred six zero six eight eight
(12:09):
two two eight hundred six zero six eight eight two
to two. Or the website for more information about healthnews
at doctor Bob dot com, spelling out the word doctor.
It's time now, ladies and gentlemen, for the Health Alternative
of the week. All right, The Health Alternative up the
(12:39):
week is compilation of many things, but it really addresses
one thing, and that has to do with getting sick
during six season, which we are in right now, cold
and flu season. You can use supplements nutritional supplements or
have them on hand for when cold and flo strikes,
(13:00):
and it will strike eventually the vast majority of people.
The occasional cold and flu is pretty much unavoidable for
human beings. But that doesn't mean you and your family
have to feel miserable and sick for a long period
of time. Keep your supplement cabinet stocked with products that
support a quick recovery at the first side of a
(13:24):
cold and flu and help you to reduce your risk
of getting sick in the first place. Starting with multi vitamins.
Even though the goal is to eat well, you should
always eat well. Get organic food whenever possible, lots of
fresh fruits and vegetables, more of a Mediterranean style diet
as opposed to the sad diet, the standard American diet,
(13:50):
which is the sad diet. And I hope you're not
eating it. Change it up if you are. It's possible.
There are plenty of books on the Mediterranean diet out
there or the Hawaiian diet that you will live long
and prosper and not get sick and live longer. You will.
But even though the goal is to eat well, picky
eaters and life sometimes gets in the way. Right, A
(14:14):
good multi vitamin multimineral formula will contain most of the
basic nutrients necessary for optimal health and optimal immune function.
We're talking about vitamins A, C, D, E, vitamins B
two B, six B twelve and also methylated folate. You
(14:38):
don't want to eat take a B complex vitamin that's
just full of acid because there's about twenty five percent
of the population has this gene issues where they can't
process the full of acid. So get the methylated B
complex and of course the minerals iron, selenium, zinc have
that in the multimineral. You want to work on where
(15:01):
the immune system resides with this week's health alternative of
the Week in a compilation. Where the immune system resides
is in your gastrointestinal system, your gut. About seventy percent
of the immune cells are there, and that system gets
rocked with everything from drinking chlorinated tap water to taking
(15:24):
medical drugs like aspirin, ibuprofen. Leave. All of those drugs
destroy the healthy flora, antibiotics, chemotherapy, they destroy the healthy flora,
the good, healthy, friendly bacteria that keeps your immune system intact.
So what you have to do is have to replace it.
You have to put the good bacteria back there. And
(15:45):
to do that, I suggest doctor Oh, here is probiotics,
because studies have shown that children taking probiotics experience fewer
respiratory tract infections. And when they do get sick, they
are sick for less time, they miss less and that's important.
So doctor o'heres probiotics number two, number three elderberry syrup.
(16:07):
I'm been a big fan of this for years. I
once interviewed a PhD. Virologists from Israel, doctor Madeline Munchuglo,
and she taught me how important elderberry is as a
plant to small tree shrub. When taken at the onset
of illness, whether it be a cold or of fluid,
(16:28):
helps to reduce the severity and duration of viral respiratory illness.
The bonus it tastes great and it's easy for little
ones to take. Next on the list is honey. Yeah,
honey has a lot of therapeutic value. A spoonful of
honey is a simple and effective cough suppressant. Studies have
found that about one and a half teaspoons of honey
(16:48):
pure honey now before bed is an effective is very
effective as an over the counter cough medicine for reducing
cough and severity and improving sleep. You don't want to
cough all night long. You disturb your sleep, You disturb
your body's immune system. Wanting to get in there and
get after healing the infections. So taking a teaspoon and
(17:08):
a half or so of honey should never be given
by the way to a child under the age of one.
That we need to point out, So no honey for
children under the age of one, But for everyone else
with a cough that you want to suppress or shut
down so you can get a good night's sleep, honey
is the way to go. Get the good one over
(17:30):
at the health food store, not the cheap stuff. Next
on the list is vitamin D critical. I call this
the anti flu vitamin. Most immune cells have vitamin D receptors,
and studies have found that regular vitamin D supplementation helps
to protect against respiratory tract infections and the flu. So
(17:52):
during the winter months, particularly when we can't get sunlight
so that ultraviolet rays can convert choless strolling our skin
to vitamin D, you need to supplement it with it
or double down on it during the winter season. And
of course, last, sleep is critical to humans. The immune
dysfunction is one of the many negative side effects for
(18:14):
not getting enough shut eye, enough snooze time, So make
sure you're sleeping well because a lack of sleep affects
a wide range of immune cells and increases your susceptibility
to infection no matter what you're doing. A quick rundown
of what we just talked about in the health Alternative
of the Week multi vitamins, doctor oheres, probiotics, elderberry syrup, honey,
(18:37):
Vitamin D and sleep and there are others too, But
at least now you have a list to reduce your
risk going forward of colds and flus or if you're
struck down with one, how to get over it faster.
That's the key. All right, let's go to your phone calls.
Next up is Alex in Walker, Iowa.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Doctor Bob Barton. I use vascular defense. I mean, this
is Alex from Walker, Iowa. I used that vascular defense
and I did other things, beat kind of a beat
fast and lost twenty twenty pounds and I got my
blood pressure fantastically, miraculously normal, normal reading. My sister is
(19:26):
on li cenerprol Now, how can you kind of explain
how mally your sister got off her medication, how she
worked at safely without causing any problems, because my sister
wants to do the same thing. Thank you very much, sir, doctor.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Okay, Alex, thank you for your phone call. Yes, you
took vascular Defense by Sun Nutrition, just for the value
of people listening right now. Vascular Defense it's a nutritional
supplement by Sun Nutrients over at subnutrition dot com. And
your blood pressure was lowered miraculously. Now you lost weight,
(20:10):
which people when they lose weight, that's one of the
risk factors for high blood pressure, being over weight. And
you also did some Beat juice, which is good, but
there is a beat concentrate in the vascular defense formulations.
You shouldn't even have to drink Beat juice if you're
taking vascular defense. It's one of the ingredients inside the formulation.
(20:35):
But you did, and you just sped things up a
little bit more. Now, Alex, I don't want to short
answering your question. I also want to address your other
side of the question as well, So we will take
this break, will come back, I will finish up with
your question, and then we'll go to the health outrage
(20:58):
of the week. Stay tuned on doctor Bob Marchin.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Everybody's got fain mistakes, but everybody's got a choice to make.
Everybody needs a leave of faith. When are you taking yours?
What are you infuen sut sound.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
If you're tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin Show. Appreciate that.
Thank you for that, and we'll get back to our
marathon question answering session here on the Doctor Bob Martin
Show Caller Hotline momentarily. But I want to also let
you know, should you have a question about your own
(21:46):
health or somebody else's health, you can certainly call the
Doctor Bob Martin Show Caller Hotline phone number at eight
hundred six zero six eight eight two two eight hundred
six zero six eighty eight two two one eight hundred
six zero six eighty eight twenty two to get into
that collar hotline and state your question. You'll hear me
(22:08):
answer the phone. I'll ask you to state your first name,
first name, only, city and state you're living in, and
then your questions. That simple, and do it anytime of
the night or day. You can do it right now
if you want. One eight hundred six zero six eight
eight two two now. Coming up very shortly here will
be the health outrage of the week. And before that
(22:29):
I'll finish up the question of our last caller, Alex
from Walker, Iowa. But first this ladies and gentlemen. You know,
in medicine, in healthcare in general, we like to use
initials and acronyms for long protracted words, and this is
(22:51):
no exception to the rule when we're talking about palmittoy lethanolamine.
Palmittoy lethanolamine is a substance that is in very minute
quantities in food that have special therapeutic value to the
human body. But you don't have to worry about that big,
(23:13):
long word. All you have to worry about is remembering
the word p as in green peas, but except it's
just singular P pea. That's short for the special nutrient
found in small quantities of certain foods like egg yolks
and other foods. But there's not enough therapeutic activity. You'd
(23:35):
have to eat like thirty eggs to get a therapeutic
come out of this pea substance to be valuable to
your health. Scientific research shows that pea what I'm talking
about here, can I address muscle pain and recovery arthritis symptoms.
It can improve your mobility and your range of motion,
even your cognitive health, and a multitude of other health concerns,
(23:58):
including allergies, respiratory symptoms, and even fibromyalgia by taking a
supplement called pea and because of the anti inflammatory actions
of pea, researchers have investigated its ability to relieve pain
in a variety of conditions including sciatica, neuropathy, temporal mandibula,
(24:19):
or joint of jaw joint problems, plus the incidentific research
on the most common forms of arthritis that would be osteoarthritis.
This pea supplement from Terry Naturally Vitamins has lowered levels
of inflammatory markers, slowed damage down that's happening in the
cartilage between your knees and other joints, and swelling. So
(24:41):
if you are looking to improve your overall health, consider
supplementing with Pea by Terry Naturally Vitamins for the relief
of both chronic and acute pain, better physical recovery from injuries,
and improve mood and focus, and a more robust immune
system response. Take Pea by Terry Naturally Vitamins. To find PEA,
(25:05):
go to your health food store and ask for it.
It's available nationwide, or you can go to Terry Naturally
Vitamins dot Com, Terry Naturally Vitamins dot Com, or finer
health food stores to find the supplement pea. All right, Now,
prior to taking the last break, we had a caller
by the name of Alex calling it from Walker, Iowa,
(25:30):
and he was extolling the virtues of taking a supplement
that he learned about on this radio show called Vascular
Defense by Sun Nutrition, and his blood pressure when he
took it, along with losing some weight and taking some
beat juice, miraculously, was lowered his blood pressure. Now he
wants to help his sister that's taking a drug called
(25:54):
Lissinapril that's for lowering blood pressure. And he talked about
when I discussed my sister who is also taking the
vascular defense but he wants to help his sister with
his blood pressure. My sister Mollie was taking Eloquist for
blood clots in her lower extremities. However, high blood pressure
(26:18):
and blood clots have a potential comedy nominator, inflammation. We
talk about it all the time on the show. So
this formula that we discussed on the program he took
called Vascular Defense by Sun Nutrition over at Sunnutrition dot
Com may also help your sister, Alex. But I would add,
if she needs to lose weight, she should that's important
(26:40):
it's very important to do exercise, maybe walk one to
three miles per day if she's able to do it,
work on lowering her stress level. For her high blood pressure,
she should stay away from the standard American diet or
the SAD diet, eat a more Mediterranean style diet. Lastly,
regarding your sister for her blood pressure issue, and I
(27:01):
also recommend she monitor her blood pressure at home with
a self checking blood pressure instrument. You can get them
at drug stores. They're very inexpensive these days. Because if
her blood pressure starts going down while she's on the
liscentipril and then taking let's say Chiolic blood Pressure Formula
one oh nine or blood Pressure Health, which is another
(27:24):
formula blood Pressure Health by Terry Naturally the vitamins, she
should report that back to her doctor so her doctor
or her pharmacist can slowly remove the liscentipril if her
blood pressure normalizes with these changes that she's going to
make in her lifestyle, her diet and taking supplementation, and
of course I suggest she monitor her blood pressure at
home and report those changes to a health care provider
(27:49):
with the hope that she can lower or get off
of altogether the lis cinipril. Now I appreciate you calling
it her behalf. All right, It's time now, ladies and
gentlemen for the health outrage of the week. Health outrage
of the week. She's like, you don't believe it. Come
on each time for the health outbreage because it's not
(28:12):
of bullet. It is outrageous. And Robert F. Kennedy Juniors
all over this, the current Health and Human Services Secretary.
How the FDA lets chemicals pour into America's food supply.
We need to dismantle and change that FDA. What a
worthless set up that is. Joseph Shea, who sells athletic
(28:33):
wear in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, wonders and worries about
the food he eats. The chemical ingredients with mystifying names,
the references on product labels to unspecified natural or artificial flavors,
the junk food that fits his budget but feels addictive
(28:53):
and makes him feel unwell. Mister Shay, one of one thousand,
three hundred and ten people who responded to a poll
the Health Policy Research Group KFF conducted on healthcare priorities,
said he assumes the FDA is making sure the ingredients
are safe, and in many cases it's not. The FDA
(29:15):
restraints on food ingredients are limited and relatively feeble, especially
compared to those in Europe. A KFF Health News examination
found there are at least nine hundred and fifty substances
in our food supply, and I know there's a lot
more than that in the United States that are not
(29:37):
permitted in Europe. What do they know that we need
to know? According to one experts estimate, the chemicals link
to health problems show up in hundreds and hundreds of
products that line the shelves of American supermarkets. We need
to change that up, ladies and gentlemen, and that's why
it qualified as the health outrage of the week. I'm
(29:58):
doctor Bob Martin.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
So.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
I'm a budding number, sum incible.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Be have one ever single.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Stop a little today.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Well, you happen to be juned into the largest and
longest airing radio health talk show in America, and that
is in large part thanks to you, and I so
appreciate you being here and telling other people about this
radio show so they too can take advantage of the
information we bring to this table about our most precious possession,
(30:53):
our health, and how to become your own best doctor
most of the time. That's what the show is all about.
All right, now we have for you this week's installment
of the product recall of the Week. Here we go.
The company Laorel recalls popular Laroche Passe acne treatment over
(31:17):
a cancer causing chemical discovered in the formulation. Lorel has
recalled all us lots of its efaiclaire duo acne treatment
due to concerns that it may contain benzene, a known carcinogen.
Efa Claire duo, a product sold under the brand label
(31:39):
Laroche Passe, contains benzo peroxide. When exposed to high temperatures
or UV ultra violet rays, this ingredient can degrade into
the carcinogen benzine. Loreel's recall comes one year after Veilschure,
an independent lab in Connecticut, sounded the alarm that many
(32:00):
products on store shelves contain benzoil peroxide also contain high
levels of benzene. The chemical is classified as a known
human carcinogen by the International Agency of Research on Cancer
National Toxicity Program and the Environmental Protection Agency. And I'm
saying to myself, what after a year, whoa we need
(32:21):
more oversight here, we need more control of these things.
In the first place, it takes a year to get
a carcinogenic cancer crossing agent out of a out of
a skincare product for acne. Really well, if you were
in her if we were in Europe, it wouldn't have
even gone into the product in the first place. What's
wrong with this picture. Let's hope Robert M. Kennedy Junior,
(32:44):
the new HHS Secretary, cleans up and fixes the problem
once and for all. That's the product rehole the week.
We move right from the product of the recall of
the week to the top ten top ten list. Here
we go top ten cities where you're more likely or
(33:04):
most likely to get sick. I'm not saying call your
travel agent or called the moving company move out of
that city. I'm just letting you know about where you
are most likely to get sick. And here we go
(33:25):
number ten on the list. Riverside, California, number nine on
the top ten list of where you're most likely to
get sick, Ogden, Utah, number eight, Chicago, Illinois, number seven, Detroit,
Michigan number six on the list of cities in the
(33:47):
US where you're more likely to get sick than not Fresno, California.
Number five, Las Vegas, Nevada. And now I can vouch
for that because there's been several times I've been there
on seminars of symposiums. It came out of their sick.
Could have been up a stand up late two. Number
four of the list, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. El Paso, Texas comes
(34:11):
in number three on the list of top ten cities
where you're most likely to get sick. Number two is McAllen,
Texas and the number one city in the US where
you're most likely to get sick. Drum roll, Bakersfield, California. Bakersfield, California,
where I know this radio show broadcast, by the way.
(34:33):
So there you have it, the top ten cities where
you're most likely to get sick and the product recall
the week. Let's get back to work, however, with your
telephone calls and questions. Next up, we say hello to
Judy calling it from Davenport, Iowa, where I was born.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
From Davenport, Iowa. I would like to know what I
can do to get rid of toe fungus.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Thank you well, thank you Judy for your phone call. Uh,
this is a tough one, but yet it's topical and
it's internal. How to get rid of toenail fungus well,
cut out all forms of sugar in your diet, Judy,
because this is a systemic problem. Fungal infection underneath the
(35:20):
toes means it's in your whole body. It's not just there,
that's just where you notice it discoloring your toenails, causing
them to heave up or you know, expand. It just
is systemic and you have to attack its systemic to
be successful. So you got to get rid of sugar
because sugar feeds these fungal infections. So make sure you're
(35:41):
not eating junk food all the time, candy, ice cream, soda, pops, pastries,
all of that. Dairy products also need to be removed,
as well as alcohol if you are serious about eliminating
the fungal infection. The other option you have is if
it gets bad enough on your toenails, you can have
a pediatrist just take a pair of pliers and remove
the nail. I'm not recommending that, ouch, it's not the
(36:03):
answer because the fungus who will come back once the
nail grows out. Of course, I've also recommended and treated
people with these fungle infections successfully with something called caprilic acid.
Caprillic acid again, these are all health food store related stuff.
You can get it in the health of store a
couple of capsules twice a day of that. And lastly, topically,
all of the stuff that I said previously, all internal
(36:26):
topically over the top of and underneath the nail as
far up as you can get it. Maybe put it
in some cotton and stuff it up underneath the nail,
and then go to sleep with socks on. Three drops
of oregano oil mixed with two drops of tea tree
oil and apply that topically to your toenails three times
a day, keep your feet dry after bathing with a
(36:48):
hair dryer. And lastly, purchase a book called the Candida Diet.
That diet will help you get rid of the fungle infection.
Thank you for your phone call. I'm doctor Bob Martine.

eight twenty two. It's time now, ladies and gentlemen, for
the health mystery of the week. All Right revealed five
clues that an afterlife really does exist. For millions of humans,
(37:53):
death is seen as a final, inescapable moment when our
consciousness selves sees to function, But for others, it is
the start of a new life in a new realm.
The power point, the point where our souls exit our
earthly bodies and begin to the afterlife. So if some
believe death is getting out of one car and into another,
(38:15):
as John Lennon put it, while one anonymous thinker said,
beyond death's dark curtain lies the bright new dawn, well
number one the universe's limits. The universe size is unknown,
and it may or may not be infinite in extent,
but there's always a limit in how much humanity is
(38:38):
able to observe. That's number one of the five clues
that an afterlife really does exist. Number two truths in
the Bible. The second clue is the proven reliability of
the Bible, which speaks extensively about the realm. We call
Heaven to tell the truth. Number three. The third clue
(39:01):
emerges from encounters people have with unidentified flying objects UFOs, folks.
I know it sounds strange when you think about it,
but it's happening, and the solid science proves it there
are unidentified flying objects, then you have nd Number four.
The fourth line of evidence comes from extensive research on
(39:24):
near death experiences called NDEs, vivid and often life transforming
conscious episodes associated with death and impending death. I know
very credible people who have had these NDEs or near
death experiences, so I'm a big believer of that. And
number five on the list of the five clues that
(39:48):
and after life really does exist. Well. Lastly, and perhaps
most contentiously, is that praying is effective enough to suggest
the existence of a trend send it realm. Double blind
study suggests prayer has beneficial effects, implying that some kind
of entity is beyond our physical world is receptive to it.
(40:11):
People who are prayed for by believers in the Christian
God experience measurably more rapid and complete recovery from surgeries
or medically confirmed ailments than do people from whom no
such prayer is offered. According to doctor Ross, however, the
effectiveness of prayer is again greatly debated, and also has
(40:35):
been reported to have no little effect on outcomes too.
So there you have the health mystery of the week.
The five close that an afterlife really does exist. I'm
doctor Bob Martin. Be well,
