Speaker 3 (01:00):
Good day in Good Health America. Adjust your seats and

your day, doctor Bob.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Good day to you, Doctor Brockman, and so glad to
be with you and our audience today.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Well, I agree in doctor Bob. We've got a stack
of emails today that it almost looks like a small
mountain in the phone lines have been lighting up. So
I want to get to a lot of caller questions today,
and folks at home, if you're sitting at home feeling
like a medical mystery yourself, or if you've been told
that your check engine light is just part of getting older,
(01:51):
I want you to pick up the phone right now,
give us a call. Our dedicated hotline is eight hundred
six zero six eight to eight. Again, it's eight hundred
and six er O six eight eight two two, and
we are dedicating this hour to you. I'll say one
more time, it's eight hundred six er O six eight
eight two two, and we're not here just to give
(02:13):
you the same old Take two of these and call
me in the morning type of routine. We're gonna dive
deep into the biomechanics of your pain, or maybe it's
the biochemistry of your fatigue, and we're gonna give you
the absolute truth about longevity. And I mean you might

or you're trying to figure out why your digestion system
(02:36):
it feels like a fight. We're here and we're ready
for you. And remember, if you miss a segment or
you want to dive deeper into our archives and our
health secrets, everything you need is waiting for you at
doctor Bob dot com. That's spelling out the word doctor
docto r bob dot com. There you can submit a
(02:56):
question or a health related comment as well. Again that's
dot com, all right, doctor Bob and I we believe
that your body was built to heal itself and it's
provided that you give it the right tools and stop
throwing wrenches into the machinery. So let's just stop the
guess work. Let's stop the wait and see approach that's
(03:17):
been failing most of our population. And this is your
hour to take control. And doctor Bob, I know that
I've been itching to get to these emails. Let's go
ahead and start with one of those. It's from Kimberly
and she asked, what are your thoughts on medications such
as Prolia for bone health.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Well, it just so happens, Kimberly, thank you for your question.
Just so happens that one of the first times that
I was asked to lecture at a medical school in
the state of Colorado, at the University of Colorado howth
Science Center, was on this very topic. And it was,
you know, is to speak with fourth year medical students
(04:05):
and teachers and professors on the topic of osteoporosis. And
I was honored to be asked to do that, and
in preparation for that, and before then and after that.
When you look at the enormity of osteoporosis and osteopenia
in the United States, it's so large, it's hard to
(04:26):
even wrap your brain around how big it is, how
serious it is to people. It is a major cause
of death. Statistics show us that about fifty percent of
all people over the age of fifty have some level
of osteoporosis or osteopenia. That means they are more susceptible
(04:48):
to fracture if they fall break a bone. It's a
serious cause of death in the elderly. It's a major
cause of death, and it's something to take serious. So
you don't want to discount osteoporosis. In fact, we used
to on a regular basis, myself and a team of
other physicians used to go out in communities all over
(05:08):
the state of Arizona and do bone density testing using DEXA,
which is the gold standard for osteoporosis testing. And we
measured bone density and we found people that had major osteoporosis,
serious levels of osteoporosi to some who completely unaware of it,
(05:29):
and should they take a fall, it would be you know,
they may not ever leave the hospital basically. And then
other people who had really really solid bone density and
didn't realize that we're happy to learn it. So the
key is this, as our bodies go through aging, we
basically lose everything. We lose bone tissue, we tend to
(05:51):
lose skin cells, we lose our hair, we lose our hormones.
The only thing we really gain with age is pretty
much flatulance or gas. You know, we just get more
gas as we get older, but that's about all. So
you want to take bone health seriously. And the way
that I tell people how to help this is look
(06:12):
at other cultures who don't have as much osteoporosis as
we do in the world. And these people, you look
at their lifestyle, you see that they exercise and get
weight bearing exercise. They eat well, they don't smoke cigarettes,
they don't drink carbonated beverages, and they get a variety
of foods in their diet, especially foods that are high
in mineral content. What are those, well, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legomes,
(06:38):
and there are other things. Here in the United States,
osteoporosis is epidemic partly because of the lifestyle that we
live and they poor nutrition that we take in and
the fact that we're sedentary. So in medicine, the drug
Prolea that you mention is certainly an option. It's a therapy.
But when a doctor pribes a drug, my first recommendation
(07:02):
to a patient is go look at the side effects
of that drug and see if that's really what you
want to do. Because when you look at Prola and
all the other drugs in the bysphosphonate area, you see
that one of the side effects is osteonocrosis of the jaw.
If you ever had to have a demo Procedu're done
and you were on this prolea for any period of time,
(07:22):
your jaw may deteriorate, it may die, and then when
the doctor goes take the tooth out of your mandible
an extraction, the whole jaw comes apart and it's a disaster,
a potential disaster. So this drug is certainly one that's used.
It wouldn't be something I would say. I'd say, find
a way to get your lifestyle under control, get the
(07:43):
exercise of the diet, and then start taking nutrients to
resupply the body with vitamin D three, K two, magnesium, zinc, strontium,
boron and other nutrients like that, and then check your
hormone system because when the hormones are out of balance,
that can all impact your bone health. So it is
a very wide topic. And if you know somebody who's
(08:06):
dialed into this, a chiropractic physician who's had training and nutrition,
nature pathic physician, holistic mdd O, somebody in homeopathy, these
people are aware of all the things I'm talking about.
And the sooner you get to that kind of a
person for a true second opinion, the better off you're
going to be, as opposed to just take thinking that
(08:26):
prolea is going to solve the problem, it may actually
create a nightmare for you in the end.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah, doctor Bob. And this is a great question because
bone health is one of the most misunder understood areas
in modern medicine. That's if we're talking about what prolea
actually is. You know, it's the prescription injection that's given
every six months to treat osteoporosis. And this is in
(08:53):
postmenopausal women or even in men that have taken long
term steroids. So it works by targeting that pathway that
that breaks down bone especially, you know, essentially basically turning
off the cells that eat away at that bone tissue
which you mentioned with the necrosis. And so you know,
on on paper you're looking at this and you're thinking, well,
(09:15):
is this going to be less bone loss and fewer fractures? Well,
guess maybe, you know, the short term clinical studies show
that that. But again, you know, if we're if we're
looking at it from a natural medicine perspective, this whole
scenario is a red flag. Any therapy that requires you
to stay dependent to avoid the crisis situation, it deserves
(09:39):
a careful thought. So if you're considering prolea, this must
be part of a tailored plan that Doctor Bob was
talking about, addressing the hormone balance and the vitamin D
levels in the in the gut absorption, and then we
need to talk about kidney health and lifestyle factors. That
is what truly determines long term bone strength. So again,
(10:01):
here's what we know to support that bone formation, not
just bone density, resistance, exercise, balanced training to prevent falls,
adequate protein, collagen, vitamin D three and K two, magnesium,
you know, all these things that doctor Bob talked about,
and the trades minerals like boron and silica. So remember
(10:24):
that the stress, the inflammation, the acid forming diets, this
is all what erodes that bone health. And that's so
no injection is going to fix that. So again, it
may be appropriate for high risk individuals under close supervision,
but it's not a fundamental replacement for bone health. All right, Well,
great question, Kimberly, and I hope that answers that for you.
(10:47):

call calling questions, email questions, all the above, and next up,
we have a caller question from from Dean in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Oh,
(12:57):
Doctor Bob, my name is Dean from that Springs, ark
Top and sixteen years ago I had a heart attack.
It had two skits put in, and I'm just wondering
how often should I hit my doctor check these stents?
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Thanks?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Okay, So Dean, that's a great question, and it's a
good topic to bring up because it's it's really it's
something that many heart patients wander about years after they've
had those stints placed. So doctor Bob, I'm gonna go
ahead and let you start with this.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
All right, Well, I've teated many patients who have had
stints in my practice career. Stints can be life saving,
and they have saved many, many lives, So they're an emergency.
I look at them as a sort of a stopgap measure,
but nonetheless important, an important part of emergency medicine and
(13:58):
the management of a heart disease patient. But it doesn't
go beyond management. It certainly doesn't address the reason why
this person's arteries were clogged up or got clogged up
with ashorosclerosis, lacking, or clots. It doesn't address any of that.
In fact, there's been many studies here in the United States,
(14:20):
doctor Brogman, as you know, that have shown that stints
are done way too often. In fact, they were rising, rising, rising,
and finally somebody said, hey, why are so many people
having these stint surgeries. These cardiac surgeons are making a
lot of money, and yet we're not reducing these risks
(14:41):
in the long term for these patients. And then finally,
I think they were able to figure out that yes,
way too many stint operations were occurring, and that they
have curtailed them or at least cut them back. But
nonetheless they're still important. But this doesn't address the underlying
reason why a person like Dean developed heart disease in
(15:05):
the first place, which is really all about, you know,
his lifestyle, what he ate during his life, what he's eating,
how much exercise he's getting, how much stress he's under,
does he smoke. Things like that need to be considered.
Questions asked and answered. Usually they're not. They're usually Okay,
(15:26):
you've had a stint. We saved your life. Great, Now
come back and every once in a while we'll get
you checked up. And he should. He should have regular
medical tests because stints don't last forever. I think last
time I looked at it, like the average like eight
to fifteen years or something, some less, some more. But
it doesn't address the underlying reason why he clogged his
(15:47):
arteries in the first place. And that gets back to inflammation.
It's all about inflammation. It's not about cholesterol. The cholesterol
myth has been busted. Finally there the medical profession is
that coming to Jesus moment where they knew the cholesterol
cholesterol loarding drug statins have been a total farce the
whole time. They don't reduce anybody dying over the long haul.
(16:09):
So what do you do? Well, You first test the
person to find out other factors that can give you
information as to whether that person is at risk. These
are tests that do not get done usually in a
medical setting. And what tests I'm talking about are simple
blood tests like TMAO which was discovered a Cleveland clinic
(16:30):
to be able to determine who's that risk of heart
disease TMAO. Write it down so you have that in
your pocket so you can ask your doctor to perform
it the next time, and while he's at it or
she's at it, asks them to run your homocysteine level
and your cardiosensitive C reactive protein and your small particle cholesterol.
These are things that need to be done, absolutely need
(16:52):
to be done to assess your risk. And then once
they find out that these numbers are either good or bad.
If they're bad, the cardiologist or your internist or your
general MD needs to refer you to a competent clinical nutritionist,
nature path, chiropractic physician, homeopathic physician, somebody who understands a
(17:15):
lifestyle medicine, somebody who understands preventive healthcare, somebody understands holistic
health care and can guide you along the line and
tell you how you got to where you're at and
how to reverse it. Yes, you can reverse heart disease.
Look at Nathan Prittikin's work, look at many of doctor
John McDougall. There are many doctors who have proven you
can reverse heart disease through diet and exercise and lowering
(17:38):
your stress and nutritional supplementation. And ultimately it's your choice.
You want to manage the problem or reverse the problem.
You want to cure the problem or just kick the
can down the road waiting for the next crisis. Your choice.
Along the line, you should learn about a study. Many
studies have been done about reversal of heart disease using
age garlic extract. Use CLA. Doctor Budolph has proven by
(18:04):
taking kyolic age garlic extract you can actually not only
stop the progression of the placking of the arteries, you
can actually reverse it. Look it up. Kyolic aged garlic
extract something that has over seven hundred different studies on
it in medical text and so heart disease, yes, it's
the number one killer, but it is something that absolutely
(18:27):
can be helped, not just managed, but reversed if you
can get to the right type of care.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
All right, great, great information, doctor Bob, and I want
to start with a little perspective, you know, the coronary.
The stints are their tiny mesh tubes if you will,
that help help keep the arteries open after a heart
attack or such, you know, like doctor Bob mentioned, with
a lifestyle Once once those stints have healed into the
(18:57):
artery wall, usually after several months, they and to remain
stable for years. And so we're talking about here sixteen
years later. The metal itself in the stint is probably
isn't the main concern. It's the condition of your the
rest of your cardiovascular system that is that bigger concern,
which doctor Bob mentioned in detail. Most cardiologists agree that
(19:21):
there's there's no need for routine imaging or stress testing
at set intervals just to just to check up on
these old stints, so to speak, unless you're having symptoms.
What matters most is how you feel. If you have
new chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, or decreased exercise
(19:43):
tolerance as showing up, that's your your cue to check in. Otherwise,
a yearly visit with your cardioologists, your primary care physician.
That's that's the standard here. During during that check up,
you'll get assessed for your overall health. The blood pressure,
cholesterol levels, blood sugar EKGs, you know sometimes the stress test.
(20:07):
Those are what we're talking about there. But from a
proactive or natural medicine approach, that's where that's where we're
going to give you some more indication on what you
can do to improve, prove, and prevent. Even though their
stents may be doing their job, your arteries still need
nourishment and protection every day. That means that need to
(20:29):
have those those lifestyle choices that Mediterranean style or a
plant forward type of diet and in thirty minutes is
the bare minimum of movement most days, and ways to
reduce your stress and obviously not smoking. And the nutritional
support that doctor Bob gave was spot on and I
can help to reduce that inflammation and protect the vessel
(20:52):
lining the omega three fatty acids, magnesium, coenzyme Q ten, antioxidants,
vitamin C find them an e that all needs to
be part of that discussion. And then doctor Bob mentioned
Kyolic age garlic extract that is they have several different
cardiovascular formulas. That is something to look at you can
(21:12):
you can do look at their website which is Kyolic
dot com k Yo L I C dot com that
can give you some of the information on the research.
It's readily available at most finer health food stores throughout
the country. But besides that, you know, your bottom line
is those stints don't require special routine imaging unless your
(21:34):
symptoms are changing. So think about the checkups, think about
your wellness overall. Those are the ways to stay consistent
with that lifestyle and work closely with a doctor who
looks at both medical and nutritional angles. All right, doctor Bob,
We've got to take a short break. We'll be right back.
You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show. Are you
(22:00):
waiting on a line? Next stake?
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Are you waiting on the perfect nights? How are you
waiting to the time is right?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Welcome back. You're tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin Show,
and I'm doctor Adam Brockman. You're co pilot on this

pressing health questions, we are just a phone call away
at eight hundred six zero six eight eight two two.
Again it's eight hundred six zero six eight eight.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Two to two.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
All right, doctor Bob, let's get back into our email questions.
And if in folks listening, if you want to submit
your email question, you can just go to our website,
which is doctor Bob dot com and just click right
there on the homepage to fill out a short form
and give your question to us to answer. But doctor Bob,
(23:11):
so Melanie, she is asking, is there a safe way
to help improve sexual desire after menopause?
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Absolutely there is. Not all women experience that, and women
who do experience it typically there's something that's out of balance,
and that's something that's out of balance. Could be mental, emotional,
it could be physical, it could be chemical, could be environmental.
There's all kinds of different factors that can affect our
(23:42):
hormone system and our physiology. So it's a good idea,
first of all, to come at something like this in
a conservative manner, which means this is not a life
threatening situation by any stretch of the imagination. So if
you go to your allopathic doctor doctors who prescribe and
(24:05):
recommend pharmaceutical drugs, you're probably gonna get a drug. It's
kind of like, you know, asking you know what you're
gonna get. If you put a hammer in a carpenter's hand,
you're gonna get nailed. There's gonna everything's a nail.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
So I suggest that for this particular condition you find
like a licensed nature pathic physician or chiropractic physician, or
somebody who understands functional medicine integrative care, so that they
can say to you, look, it could be just a
slight imbalance of some sort, and start asking questions like,
(24:45):
how is your stress.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
In life right now? Have you noticed lately that there's
been more stress on you than usual? Are you sleeping well?
Are you trusting your mate? Are you getting regular exercise?
These are all key factors. And if all of those
are in good shape and nothing's really changed, then we say, well, yeah,
you know, everybody's hormone system as we age starts to
(25:07):
go down, and perhaps yours has gone down more so
than others and may require some rebalancing. All right, So
then how do you do that well? You take a
saliva sample, you ask the patient to come to the office,
you give them a kit, or you send the kit
to them. They spit in these tiny vials. It goes
(25:27):
to a licensed, regulated laboratory. That laboratory does this very
very sensitive salid ary hormone test, which is better than
blood testing, more sensitive than blood testing, and it shows
three different estrogens, her progesterone, her testosterone, her dh EA,
and other things, so that we can measure precisely where
(25:50):
the imbalance is. And we often find that it's a
mixed bag. It could be low estrogen, it could be
low progesterone, it could be a combination of low estrogen
and progesterone. It can even be low testosterone. But having
a roadmap is a good way to go about it. Now,
if you don't want to do that, there's also ways
you can go around that. It's sort of a quick fix,
(26:14):
but it may solve the problem. And go to the
health food store and look for some herbs that have
been historically used to increase libido in women. And you say, well,
what are those, doctor, Bob, Well, they're very common to
people at the health food store is very knowledge about this.
We're talking about maca root, we're talking about tribulus fin
(26:36):
you Greek red ginsing. There's lots of herbs that will
stimulate and provide what are called plant based hormones, which
are bioidentical to your own versus the stuff that is
given out in the pharmacy. The pharmacy certainly can provide
you with drugs estrogen, but there's a lot of risk
(26:59):
that are associated with them, and in the past there's
been a lot of concern about increasing the risk of
the big CEA with these drugs. Over time, it's gone
back and forth, back and forth, and I think it's risky,
especially if you have conservative measures that are available to you.
So always go conservative in non life threatening situations. Usually
(27:21):
this involves lifestyle, diet and a little adjustment in the
botanical area, and most women will come out of that
and be right back to where they need to be
and want to be.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Yeah, and that's all great information, doctor Bob. And this
is an important question. And I really like that Melanie
asked this out loud or well through email in this case,
because that sexual desire after menopause, it's one of you know,
a lot of people just don't like to talk about
it when we're talking about women's health. So if we
(27:51):
start with that truth, the changes in libido after menopause,
that's completely normal. Declining estrogen and testostere own levels, the
vaginal dryness, the stress, the sleep issues, and sometimes even
relationship dynamics, they all play this role. But normal doesn't
mean that you have to accept it and that it's unchangeable.
(28:15):
So if we reclaim that body's natural rhythm, that drop
in estrogen during menopause, it can reduce the blood flow
and sensitivity, and that decline in testosterone we consider that
like a spark type of hormone for both sex, as
a male and female, that can start to dull the desire.
(28:36):
So one of the safest first steps in restoring that
hormonal balance naturally, I'm talking about supporting the body's own hormone,
the communication through lifestyle and food and sometimes that plant
based therapy. So regular movement, especially resistance training, has been
shown to raise testosterone and growth hormone levels naturally, and
(28:58):
then if you add enough sl you're already halfway there.
Because your libido strongly depends on energy in adrenal balance.
So now if we're talking about the vaginal dryness and discomfort,
which are major libido killers. Tried non hormonal moisturizers or
lubricants made with natural ingredients like hyaluronic acid or vitamin
(29:22):
e or coconut oil. And as doctor Bob said, if needed,
discuss bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. These are These are those
carefully dose plant derived estrogen and progesterone that mimic what
your body produces naturally. These these these forms, when monitored,
(29:42):
are much gentler than synthetic hormones of the of the
past that can reignite that uh. These these biodentical hormones
reignite the energy, the mood and also hopefully in this case,
the intimacy. So so again, if we're we're talking about
the mind by East side of things, stress or fatigue
(30:03):
can quiet that desire faster than any hormone shift. And
I suggest also sometimes we need to look at restoring
emotional connection UH with with our partners, maybe through relaxation
or mindfulness or simply open communication. Sometimes desire follows that
that closeness, and then and then finally those adaptagen herbs
(30:27):
like like maka root and and tribulus Oshwagandha. They have

(33:53):
seven at doctor bob dot com. All right, Doctor Bob,
let's get back to the to the caller hotline with
a question from Dave and Iowa.
Speaker 8 (34:04):
Yeah, this is Dave from the Cocon Iowa, and I
just wondered what doctor Rob Martin thinks about dog workers
stuff for fighting cancer, and I guess I would just
appreciate any thoughts on that what he thinks about it.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
So thank you. Okay, doctor Bob.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Maccada, Iowa very familiar. I used to be an amateur boxer.
I boxed in that city as well as all over
the state of Iowa. Dave, thank you for the call.
This question comes up frequently because there's a lot of
influencers on the Internet who talk about all these deworming drugs,
repurpose deworming drugs. Some of them are really good. I
(34:52):
rem actin and mendzvenal and all these different drugs that
have been repurposed for not just you know, veterinarian deworming
of animals, but also for taking of humans. There's been
Nobel Prize one on them, so there's validity. However, we've
had hold Of Clark on this radio show. Hold Of
(35:15):
Clark was a botanical herbal expert wrote books about how
there's a connection between parasites and the treating of parasites
and cancer. Of course, she was way ahead of her time,
and the medical profession attacked her as a quack, a Charlatan,
you know, selling snake oil. Now they're all chasing her cure,
(35:38):
which is really affecting the metabolism of the cancer cell
by virtue of the same chemistry that is used in
these dewormer drugs. But in her case, she wasn't pitching
the drugs. She was pitching certain botanical certain herbs. Which
many of the drugs that we have in circulation today,
(35:59):
of goodly number of them come from botanical drugs and
they're eventually synthesized and made through petrochemicals so they can
roll out and scale it up. And in her case,
she was talking about wormwood oil. She taught me about
wormwood oil early in my practice years back in the
late seventies early eighties. She talked about black walnut extract,
(36:21):
She talked about oregano clove. These are drugs, or not drugs.
These are botanicals, natural medicines that affect the same enzymatic
pathway as ivermectin and these other drugs you're hearing about
by these influencers all over the internet today. Now, certainly
these drugs are safe when used appropriately. I think they
(36:44):
have their efficacious for cancer, but they're not the whole story.
I mean, you think you can just you know, treat
cancer patients with deworming drugs. You're missing the message here.
Cancer is a very complicated disease. You need to look
at it holistic. That means mind, body, spirit, physical, chemical, emotional,
(37:05):
environmental All of that needs to be considered. Not just
go out and get a prescription de wormer drug and
call it a day and start swallowing the paste or
the pill or the potion or the powder. No, you
need to plug in diet, you need to plug in exercise,
you need to plug in lowering your stress. All of
that needs to be considered. And yes, you can use
(37:27):
certain things that affect the cancer pathway. You got to
get people away from sugar and glutamine to begin with.
They got to get off their sugar, because that's what
cancer sells love. They love sugar, they love glutamine, They
love people who are under stress, they love people who smoke.
They allow themselves to proliferate that way and expand. It's
the immune system. The thrashing of the immune system over time.
(37:50):
There's always a mental component and emotional component. So you
look at the big picture, and to do that, you
need to find a clinic that deals with this holistically,
a clinic that can look at the entire picture, not
just give anti parasitic drugs. That's a good approach, certainly
better than chemotherapy, because chemotherapy might render you like maybe
(38:11):
a three percent result at the most. Meanwhile, you know
your life is upside down. Your quality of life is
in the drash. You're losing your hair, losing your stomach,
everything else. So holism with respect to a chronic disease
like cancer is the best way to go. But I'm
not against anti parasitic drugs or the botanicals are the equivalent,
(38:33):
But big picture here is the key.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
Yeah, yeah, great information, doctor Bob. And here's my advice
to not experiment with animal medications. Instead, work with an
integrative oncologist or a natural medicine doctor that's experienced in
metabolic in immune based therapies. So, if you're drawing to
something like dog de wormers because it represents hope, direct
(38:58):
that energy towards therapies that are both hopeful and proven,
say for humans. And if you do have cancer, or
are concerned, or have a family member that has cancer,
please give us a call because we know of some
promising options that we can set a referral for. Again,
our hotline is eight hundred six zero six eight eight
(39:21):
two two. Again it's eight hundred and six zero six
eight eight two two. And so in short, yes, the
story of dog de Warmer raising raises some and interesting
scientific questions, but it's a not do it yourself type
of cancer plan. Let the researchers do their work in
the meantime. Fuel your body with nutrition, movement, detoxification, and
(39:44):
faith in your body's God given ability to heal itself.
All right, Doctor Bob, we got to take a short break,
and folks, you're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show.

that your body was built to heal itself and it's
provided that you give it the right tools and stop
throwing wrenches into the machinery. So let's just stop the
guess work. Let's stop the wait and see approach that's
(03:17):
been failing most of our population. And this is your
hour to take control. And doctor Bob, I know that
I've been itching to get to these emails. Let's go
ahead and start with one of those. It's from Kimberly
and she asked, what are your thoughts on medications such
as Prolia for bone health.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Well, it just so happens, Kimberly, thank you for your question.
Just so happens that one of the first times that
I was asked to lecture at a medical school in
the state of Colorado, at the University of Colorado howth
Science Center, was on this very topic. And it was,
you know, is to speak with fourth year medical students
(04:05):
and teachers and professors on the topic of osteoporosis. And
I was honored to be asked to do that, and
in preparation for that, and before then and after that.
When you look at the enormity of osteoporosis and osteopenia
in the United States, it's so large, it's hard to
(04:26):
even wrap your brain around how big it is, how
serious it is to people. It is a major cause
of death. Statistics show us that about fifty percent of
all people over the age of fifty have some level
of osteoporosis or osteopenia. That means they are more susceptible
(04:48):
to fracture if they fall break a bone. It's a
serious cause of death in the elderly. It's a major
cause of death, and it's something to take serious. So
you don't want to discount osteoporosis. In fact, we used
to on a regular basis, myself and a team of
other physicians used to go out in communities all over
(05:08):
the state of Arizona and do bone density testing using DEXA,
which is the gold standard for osteoporosis testing. And we
measured bone density and we found people that had major osteoporosis,
serious levels of osteoporosi to some who completely unaware of it,
(05:29):
and should they take a fall, it would be you know,
they may not ever leave the hospital basically. And then
other people who had really really solid bone density and
didn't realize that we're happy to learn it. So the
key is this, as our bodies go through aging, we
basically lose everything. We lose bone tissue, we tend to
(05:51):
lose skin cells, we lose our hair, we lose our hormones.
The only thing we really gain with age is pretty
much flatulance or gas. You know, we just get more
gas as we get older, but that's about all. So
you want to take bone health seriously. And the way
that I tell people how to help this is look
(06:12):
at other cultures who don't have as much osteoporosis as
we do in the world. And these people, you look
at their lifestyle, you see that they exercise and get
weight bearing exercise. They eat well, they don't smoke cigarettes,
they don't drink carbonated beverages, and they get a variety
of foods in their diet, especially foods that are high
in mineral content. What are those, well, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legomes,
(06:38):
and there are other things. Here in the United States,
osteoporosis is epidemic partly because of the lifestyle that we
live and they poor nutrition that we take in and
the fact that we're sedentary. So in medicine, the drug
Prolea that you mention is certainly an option. It's a therapy.
But when a doctor pribes a drug, my first recommendation
(07:02):
to a patient is go look at the side effects
of that drug and see if that's really what you
want to do. Because when you look at Prola and
all the other drugs in the bysphosphonate area, you see
that one of the side effects is osteonocrosis of the jaw.
If you ever had to have a demo Procedu're done
and you were on this prolea for any period of time,
(07:22):
your jaw may deteriorate, it may die, and then when
the doctor goes take the tooth out of your mandible
an extraction, the whole jaw comes apart and it's a disaster,
a potential disaster. So this drug is certainly one that's used.
It wouldn't be something I would say. I'd say, find
a way to get your lifestyle under control, get the
(07:43):
exercise of the diet, and then start taking nutrients to
resupply the body with vitamin D three, K two, magnesium, zinc, strontium,
boron and other nutrients like that, and then check your
hormone system because when the hormones are out of balance,
that can all impact your bone health. So it is
a very wide topic. And if you know somebody who's
(08:06):
dialed into this, a chiropractic physician who's had training and nutrition,
nature pathic physician, holistic mdd O, somebody in homeopathy, these
people are aware of all the things I'm talking about.
And the sooner you get to that kind of a
person for a true second opinion, the better off you're
going to be, as opposed to just take thinking that
(08:26):
prolea is going to solve the problem, it may actually
create a nightmare for you in the end.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah, doctor Bob. And this is a great question because
bone health is one of the most misunder understood areas
in modern medicine. That's if we're talking about what prolea
actually is. You know, it's the prescription injection that's given
every six months to treat osteoporosis. And this is in
(08:53):
postmenopausal women or even in men that have taken long
term steroids. So it works by targeting that pathway that
that breaks down bone especially, you know, essentially basically turning
off the cells that eat away at that bone tissue
which you mentioned with the necrosis. And so you know,
on on paper you're looking at this and you're thinking, well,
(09:15):
is this going to be less bone loss and fewer fractures? Well,
guess maybe, you know, the short term clinical studies show
that that. But again, you know, if we're if we're
looking at it from a natural medicine perspective, this whole
scenario is a red flag. Any therapy that requires you
to stay dependent to avoid the crisis situation, it deserves
(09:39):
a careful thought. So if you're considering prolea, this must
be part of a tailored plan that Doctor Bob was
talking about, addressing the hormone balance and the vitamin D
levels in the in the gut absorption, and then we
need to talk about kidney health and lifestyle factors. That
is what truly determines long term bone strength. So again,
(10:01):
here's what we know to support that bone formation, not
just bone density, resistance, exercise, balanced training to prevent falls,
adequate protein, collagen, vitamin D three and K two, magnesium,
you know, all these things that doctor Bob talked about,
and the trades minerals like boron and silica. So remember
(10:24):
that the stress, the inflammation, the acid forming diets, this
is all what erodes that bone health. And that's so
no injection is going to fix that. So again, it
may be appropriate for high risk individuals under close supervision,
but it's not a fundamental replacement for bone health. All right, Well,
great question, Kimberly, and I hope that answers that for you.
(10:47):

eight two two. Okay, Doctor Bob. We're answering caller questions today,
call calling questions, email questions, all the above, and next up,
we have a caller question from from Dean in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Oh,
(12:57):
Doctor Bob, my name is Dean from that Springs, ark
Top and sixteen years ago I had a heart attack.
It had two skits put in, and I'm just wondering
how often should I hit my doctor check these stents?
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Thanks?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Okay, So Dean, that's a great question, and it's a
good topic to bring up because it's it's really it's
something that many heart patients wander about years after they've
had those stints placed. So doctor Bob, I'm gonna go
ahead and let you start with this.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
All right, Well, I've teated many patients who have had
stints in my practice career. Stints can be life saving,
and they have saved many, many lives, So they're an emergency.
I look at them as a sort of a stopgap measure,
but nonetheless important, an important part of emergency medicine and
(13:58):
the management of a heart disease patient. But it doesn't
go beyond management. It certainly doesn't address the reason why
this person's arteries were clogged up or got clogged up
with ashorosclerosis, lacking, or clots. It doesn't address any of that.
In fact, there's been many studies here in the United States,
(14:20):
doctor Brogman, as you know, that have shown that stints
are done way too often. In fact, they were rising, rising, rising,
and finally somebody said, hey, why are so many people
having these stint surgeries. These cardiac surgeons are making a
lot of money, and yet we're not reducing these risks
(14:41):
in the long term for these patients. And then finally,
I think they were able to figure out that yes,
way too many stint operations were occurring, and that they
have curtailed them or at least cut them back. But
nonetheless they're still important. But this doesn't address the underlying
reason why a person like Dean developed heart disease in
(15:05):
the first place, which is really all about, you know,
his lifestyle, what he ate during his life, what he's eating,
how much exercise he's getting, how much stress he's under,
does he smoke. Things like that need to be considered.
Questions asked and answered. Usually they're not. They're usually Okay,
(15:26):
you've had a stint. We saved your life. Great, Now
come back and every once in a while we'll get
you checked up. And he should. He should have regular
medical tests because stints don't last forever. I think last
time I looked at it, like the average like eight
to fifteen years or something, some less, some more. But
it doesn't address the underlying reason why he clogged his
(15:47):
arteries in the first place. And that gets back to inflammation.
It's all about inflammation. It's not about cholesterol. The cholesterol
myth has been busted. Finally there the medical profession is
that coming to Jesus moment where they knew the cholesterol
cholesterol loarding drug statins have been a total farce the
whole time. They don't reduce anybody dying over the long haul.
(16:09):
So what do you do? Well, You first test the
person to find out other factors that can give you
information as to whether that person is at risk. These
are tests that do not get done usually in a
medical setting. And what tests I'm talking about are simple
blood tests like TMAO which was discovered a Cleveland clinic
(16:30):
to be able to determine who's that risk of heart
disease TMAO. Write it down so you have that in
your pocket so you can ask your doctor to perform
it the next time, and while he's at it or
she's at it, asks them to run your homocysteine level
and your cardiosensitive C reactive protein and your small particle cholesterol.
These are things that need to be done, absolutely need
(16:52):
to be done to assess your risk. And then once
they find out that these numbers are either good or bad.
If they're bad, the cardiologist or your internist or your
general MD needs to refer you to a competent clinical nutritionist,
nature path, chiropractic physician, homeopathic physician, somebody who understands a
(17:15):
lifestyle medicine, somebody who understands preventive healthcare, somebody understands holistic
health care and can guide you along the line and
tell you how you got to where you're at and
how to reverse it. Yes, you can reverse heart disease.
Look at Nathan Prittikin's work, look at many of doctor
John McDougall. There are many doctors who have proven you
can reverse heart disease through diet and exercise and lowering
(17:38):
your stress and nutritional supplementation. And ultimately it's your choice.
You want to manage the problem or reverse the problem.
You want to cure the problem or just kick the
can down the road waiting for the next crisis. Your choice.
Along the line, you should learn about a study. Many
studies have been done about reversal of heart disease using
age garlic extract. Use CLA. Doctor Budolph has proven by
(18:04):
taking kyolic age garlic extract you can actually not only
stop the progression of the placking of the arteries, you
can actually reverse it. Look it up. Kyolic aged garlic
extract something that has over seven hundred different studies on
it in medical text and so heart disease, yes, it's
the number one killer, but it is something that absolutely
(18:27):
can be helped, not just managed, but reversed if you
can get to the right type of care.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
All right, great, great information, doctor Bob, and I want
to start with a little perspective, you know, the coronary.
The stints are their tiny mesh tubes if you will,
that help help keep the arteries open after a heart
attack or such, you know, like doctor Bob mentioned, with
a lifestyle Once once those stints have healed into the
(18:57):
artery wall, usually after several months, they and to remain
stable for years. And so we're talking about here sixteen
years later. The metal itself in the stint is probably
isn't the main concern. It's the condition of your the
rest of your cardiovascular system that is that bigger concern,
which doctor Bob mentioned in detail. Most cardiologists agree that
(19:21):
there's there's no need for routine imaging or stress testing
at set intervals just to just to check up on
these old stints, so to speak, unless you're having symptoms.
What matters most is how you feel. If you have
new chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, or decreased exercise
(19:43):
tolerance as showing up, that's your your cue to check in. Otherwise,
a yearly visit with your cardioologists, your primary care physician.
That's that's the standard here. During during that check up,
you'll get assessed for your overall health. The blood pressure,
cholesterol levels, blood sugar EKGs, you know sometimes the stress test.
(20:07):
Those are what we're talking about there. But from a
proactive or natural medicine approach, that's where that's where we're
going to give you some more indication on what you
can do to improve, prove, and prevent. Even though their
stents may be doing their job, your arteries still need
nourishment and protection every day. That means that need to
(20:29):
have those those lifestyle choices that Mediterranean style or a
plant forward type of diet and in thirty minutes is
the bare minimum of movement most days, and ways to
reduce your stress and obviously not smoking. And the nutritional
support that doctor Bob gave was spot on and I
can help to reduce that inflammation and protect the vessel
(20:52):
lining the omega three fatty acids, magnesium, coenzyme Q ten, antioxidants,
vitamin C find them an e that all needs to
be part of that discussion. And then doctor Bob mentioned
Kyolic age garlic extract that is they have several different
cardiovascular formulas. That is something to look at you can
(21:12):
you can do look at their website which is Kyolic
dot com k Yo L I C dot com that
can give you some of the information on the research.
It's readily available at most finer health food stores throughout
the country. But besides that, you know, your bottom line
is those stints don't require special routine imaging unless your
(21:34):
symptoms are changing. So think about the checkups, think about
your wellness overall. Those are the ways to stay consistent
with that lifestyle and work closely with a doctor who
looks at both medical and nutritional angles. All right, doctor Bob,
We've got to take a short break. We'll be right back.
You're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show. Are you
(22:00):
waiting on a line? Next stake?
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Are you waiting on the perfect nights? How are you
waiting to the time is right?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Welcome back. You're tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin Show,
and I'm doctor Adam Brockman. You're co pilot on this
journey to better living. And before we get back into
your questions today, here's your friendly to reminder to stay

pressing health questions, we are just a phone call away
at eight hundred six zero six eight eight two two.
Again it's eight hundred six zero six eight eight.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Two to two.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
All right, doctor Bob, let's get back into our email questions.
And if in folks listening, if you want to submit
your email question, you can just go to our website,
which is doctor Bob dot com and just click right
there on the homepage to fill out a short form
and give your question to us to answer. But doctor Bob,
(23:11):
so Melanie, she is asking, is there a safe way
to help improve sexual desire after menopause?
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Absolutely there is. Not all women experience that, and women
who do experience it typically there's something that's out of balance,
and that's something that's out of balance. Could be mental, emotional,
it could be physical, it could be chemical, could be environmental.
There's all kinds of different factors that can affect our
(23:42):
hormone system and our physiology. So it's a good idea,
first of all, to come at something like this in
a conservative manner, which means this is not a life
threatening situation by any stretch of the imagination. So if
you go to your allopathic doctor doctors who prescribe and
(24:05):
recommend pharmaceutical drugs, you're probably gonna get a drug. It's
kind of like, you know, asking you know what you're
gonna get. If you put a hammer in a carpenter's hand,
you're gonna get nailed. There's gonna everything's a nail.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
So I suggest that for this particular condition you find
like a licensed nature pathic physician or chiropractic physician, or
somebody who understands functional medicine integrative care, so that they
can say to you, look, it could be just a
slight imbalance of some sort, and start asking questions like,
(24:45):
how is your stress.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
In life right now? Have you noticed lately that there's
been more stress on you than usual? Are you sleeping well?
Are you trusting your mate? Are you getting regular exercise?
These are all key factors. And if all of those
are in good shape and nothing's really changed, then we say, well, yeah,
you know, everybody's hormone system as we age starts to
(25:07):
go down, and perhaps yours has gone down more so
than others and may require some rebalancing. All right, So
then how do you do that well? You take a
saliva sample, you ask the patient to come to the office,
you give them a kit, or you send the kit
to them. They spit in these tiny vials. It goes
(25:27):
to a licensed, regulated laboratory. That laboratory does this very
very sensitive salid ary hormone test, which is better than
blood testing, more sensitive than blood testing, and it shows
three different estrogens, her progesterone, her testosterone, her dh EA,
and other things, so that we can measure precisely where
(25:50):
the imbalance is. And we often find that it's a
mixed bag. It could be low estrogen, it could be
low progesterone, it could be a combination of low estrogen
and progesterone. It can even be low testosterone. But having
a roadmap is a good way to go about it. Now,
if you don't want to do that, there's also ways
you can go around that. It's sort of a quick fix,
(26:14):
but it may solve the problem. And go to the
health food store and look for some herbs that have
been historically used to increase libido in women. And you say, well,
what are those, doctor, Bob, Well, they're very common to
people at the health food store is very knowledge about this.
We're talking about maca root, we're talking about tribulus fin
(26:36):
you Greek red ginsing. There's lots of herbs that will
stimulate and provide what are called plant based hormones, which
are bioidentical to your own versus the stuff that is
given out in the pharmacy. The pharmacy certainly can provide
you with drugs estrogen, but there's a lot of risk
(26:59):
that are associated with them, and in the past there's
been a lot of concern about increasing the risk of
the big CEA with these drugs. Over time, it's gone
back and forth, back and forth, and I think it's risky,
especially if you have conservative measures that are available to you.
So always go conservative in non life threatening situations. Usually
(27:21):
this involves lifestyle, diet and a little adjustment in the
botanical area, and most women will come out of that
and be right back to where they need to be
and want to be.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Yeah, and that's all great information, doctor Bob. And this
is an important question. And I really like that Melanie
asked this out loud or well through email in this case,
because that sexual desire after menopause, it's one of you know,
a lot of people just don't like to talk about
it when we're talking about women's health. So if we
(27:51):
start with that truth, the changes in libido after menopause,
that's completely normal. Declining estrogen and testostere own levels, the
vaginal dryness, the stress, the sleep issues, and sometimes even
relationship dynamics, they all play this role. But normal doesn't
mean that you have to accept it and that it's unchangeable.
(28:15):
So if we reclaim that body's natural rhythm, that drop
in estrogen during menopause, it can reduce the blood flow
and sensitivity, and that decline in testosterone we consider that
like a spark type of hormone for both sex, as
a male and female, that can start to dull the desire.
(28:36):
So one of the safest first steps in restoring that
hormonal balance naturally, I'm talking about supporting the body's own hormone,
the communication through lifestyle and food and sometimes that plant
based therapy. So regular movement, especially resistance training, has been
shown to raise testosterone and growth hormone levels naturally, and
(28:58):
then if you add enough sl you're already halfway there.
Because your libido strongly depends on energy in adrenal balance.
So now if we're talking about the vaginal dryness and discomfort,
which are major libido killers. Tried non hormonal moisturizers or
lubricants made with natural ingredients like hyaluronic acid or vitamin
(29:22):
e or coconut oil. And as doctor Bob said, if needed,
discuss bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. These are These are those
carefully dose plant derived estrogen and progesterone that mimic what
your body produces naturally. These these these forms, when monitored,
(29:42):
are much gentler than synthetic hormones of the of the
past that can reignite that uh. These these biodentical hormones
reignite the energy, the mood and also hopefully in this case,
the intimacy. So so again, if we're we're talking about
the mind by East side of things, stress or fatigue
(30:03):
can quiet that desire faster than any hormone shift. And
I suggest also sometimes we need to look at restoring
emotional connection UH with with our partners, maybe through relaxation
or mindfulness or simply open communication. Sometimes desire follows that
that closeness, and then and then finally those adaptagen herbs
(30:27):
like like maka root and and tribulus Oshwagandha. They have
demonstrated the libido enhancing benefits by supporting that adrenal resilience
and then that that circulation. So yes, the libido can
return and even blossom at any stage of life. All right,
Doctor Bob, we got to take a short a short break.
(30:47):
We'll be right back with more of the listener's questions.

(33:53):
seven at doctor bob dot com. All right, Doctor Bob,
let's get back to the to the caller hotline with
a question from Dave and Iowa.
Speaker 8 (34:04):
Yeah, this is Dave from the Cocon Iowa, and I
just wondered what doctor Rob Martin thinks about dog workers
stuff for fighting cancer, and I guess I would just
appreciate any thoughts on that what he thinks about it.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
So thank you. Okay, doctor Bob.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Maccada, Iowa very familiar. I used to be an amateur boxer.
I boxed in that city as well as all over
the state of Iowa. Dave, thank you for the call.
This question comes up frequently because there's a lot of
influencers on the Internet who talk about all these deworming drugs,
repurpose deworming drugs. Some of them are really good. I
(34:52):
rem actin and mendzvenal and all these different drugs that
have been repurposed for not just you know, veterinarian deworming
of animals, but also for taking of humans. There's been
Nobel Prize one on them, so there's validity. However, we've
had hold Of Clark on this radio show. Hold Of
(35:15):
Clark was a botanical herbal expert wrote books about how
there's a connection between parasites and the treating of parasites
and cancer. Of course, she was way ahead of her time,
and the medical profession attacked her as a quack, a Charlatan,
you know, selling snake oil. Now they're all chasing her cure,
(35:38):
which is really affecting the metabolism of the cancer cell
by virtue of the same chemistry that is used in
these dewormer drugs. But in her case, she wasn't pitching
the drugs. She was pitching certain botanical certain herbs. Which
many of the drugs that we have in circulation today,
(35:59):
of goodly number of them come from botanical drugs and
they're eventually synthesized and made through petrochemicals so they can
roll out and scale it up. And in her case,
she was talking about wormwood oil. She taught me about
wormwood oil early in my practice years back in the
late seventies early eighties. She talked about black walnut extract,
(36:21):
She talked about oregano clove. These are drugs, or not drugs.
These are botanicals, natural medicines that affect the same enzymatic
pathway as ivermectin and these other drugs you're hearing about
by these influencers all over the internet today. Now, certainly
these drugs are safe when used appropriately. I think they
(36:44):
have their efficacious for cancer, but they're not the whole story.
I mean, you think you can just you know, treat
cancer patients with deworming drugs. You're missing the message here.
Cancer is a very complicated disease. You need to look
at it holistic. That means mind, body, spirit, physical, chemical, emotional,
(37:05):
environmental All of that needs to be considered. Not just
go out and get a prescription de wormer drug and
call it a day and start swallowing the paste or
the pill or the potion or the powder. No, you
need to plug in diet, you need to plug in exercise,
you need to plug in lowering your stress. All of
that needs to be considered. And yes, you can use
(37:27):
certain things that affect the cancer pathway. You got to
get people away from sugar and glutamine to begin with.
They got to get off their sugar, because that's what
cancer sells love. They love sugar, they love glutamine, They
love people who are under stress, they love people who smoke.
They allow themselves to proliferate that way and expand. It's
the immune system. The thrashing of the immune system over time.
(37:50):
There's always a mental component and emotional component. So you
look at the big picture, and to do that, you
need to find a clinic that deals with this holistically,
a clinic that can look at the entire picture, not
just give anti parasitic drugs. That's a good approach, certainly
better than chemotherapy, because chemotherapy might render you like maybe
(38:11):
a three percent result at the most. Meanwhile, you know
your life is upside down. Your quality of life is
in the drash. You're losing your hair, losing your stomach,
everything else. So holism with respect to a chronic disease
like cancer is the best way to go. But I'm
not against anti parasitic drugs or the botanicals are the equivalent,
(38:33):
But big picture here is the key.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
Yeah, yeah, great information, doctor Bob. And here's my advice
to not experiment with animal medications. Instead, work with an
integrative oncologist or a natural medicine doctor that's experienced in
metabolic in immune based therapies. So, if you're drawing to
something like dog de wormers because it represents hope, direct
(38:58):
that energy towards therapies that are both hopeful and proven,
say for humans. And if you do have cancer, or
are concerned, or have a family member that has cancer,
please give us a call because we know of some
promising options that we can set a referral for. Again,
our hotline is eight hundred six zero six eight eight
(39:21):
two two. Again it's eight hundred and six zero six
eight eight two two. And so in short, yes, the
story of dog de Warmer raising raises some and interesting
scientific questions, but it's a not do it yourself type
of cancer plan. Let the researchers do their work in
the meantime. Fuel your body with nutrition, movement, detoxification, and
(39:44):
faith in your body's God given ability to heal itself.
All right, Doctor Bob, we got to take a short break,
and folks, you're listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show.
