Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Good Day Health Podcast with doctor Ken Cronhouse, sponsored
in part by Calendron, The Safe, proven Way to lose
weight and keep it off. I'm Doug Stefan to sort
of lead us down this path of information. Ken spends
a lot of time, is a researcher himself at his clinic.
Late Cardiology is down in Montdurra, Florida. Great place for
(00:21):
you to go to have some fund It's a lovely
community and also a great place to have your self
checked out if you will by Ken. So if you
feel that that's a good idea, you're from Florida and
you want to go to the office, that's a super idea.
Further away, help yourself to tell themedicine. That's the that's
sort of a holdover from COVID, but still very much
(00:45):
a part of what people want to have in terms
of interaction with their doctors. Three five two seven three
five fourteen hundred, if I may reminding you of that
number as we get started. Three five two seven three
five fourteen hundred. Lot of focus this week. You were
a busy boy doing their research, and I thought maybe
(01:06):
we'd start with the AI question that many people have
and how it will impact healthcare. There are a lot
of different things. I guess you could use it for.
I know there are a lot of people on Bill
Maher's program last Friday, he had sort of the guru
of AI information and lots of warnings about how it's
(01:29):
already being misused and how it's already out of control,
and how stupid it was to invent it. The egos
of the people who have made AI something somewhat of
a tool without really realizing what the negative side of
it is. So, yeah, there's plenty of benefit, but they
(01:51):
already are trying to figure out how to survive. They
know they can think these AI creatures, whatever they are,
wherever they are. This guy says that there are plenty
of examples of them being slated to be decommissioned, and
they know it, so they figure out ways that they
(02:12):
can't be decommissioned. And it's as scary as hell. Frankly,
this is some of these conversations. But anyway, let's talk
about is there anything to be worried about with AI
and healthcare or is it all good?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Well? I think it's like any new technology, Doug. You know,
when the automobile was created, it was good that you
could transport yourself from one point to the other, but
you could run people over. So it's with any new technology,
there's going to be definitely positives and negatives, and there
are definitely those of AI. But AI, the integration of
(02:50):
Artificial Intelligence and healthcare DOUG, it continues to be a
major topic. It's not going away. It's going to be
there and hopefully we make the best of it. And
there's good news that comes out this week from the
National Institutes of Health DOUG. These researchers at the National
Institutes of Health have developed an AI agent that improves
(03:11):
the accuracy of gene set analysis. This tool DOUG, which
leverages expert curated databases. It'll help scientists better understand how
diseases affect groups of genes. And I think the future
in treating, curing, preventing disease is going to be within
the genes. And the only way we're going to untangle
(03:34):
this is by using AI.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
The only way. No, we can't use our brains to
figure it out.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Well, we've gone pretty far with our brains alone, and
we really have just barely got to the surface.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I don't know, then, are we supposed to know all
of this stuff. I could be very philosophical about this,
but the future. I was reading something about how the
future of orthopedics in many ways depends on what we
can learn through the availability of the tool, the AI
tool and palliative care is.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That well, so much of what is determined, if not all,
in the body how it functions, is in the gene structure.
And and that's where instead of just treating symptoms, but
actually treating the cause and preventing so many of these
problems that we have is going to be in changing
(04:34):
or repairing the genes. And you know, if this sounds
a little bit creepy to you, that's what it's going
to take to get to the real next level.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Wow, Okay, let's can AI be used for any kind
of like cancer research. I'm sure that when you're looking
in healthcare we in general, but talking about cancer and
cancer research and heart I had an MRI my heart
done the other day, and I wonder how much of that,
(05:10):
how much of the information is analyzed by some AI tool.
This is something you suggested that I do, and so
I had it done, and I'm just interested to see
what it says.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Depending on the place where you did many centers now
as the radiologists are using AI to assist them to
interpret huge data sets. As we image you, the data
gets bigger and bigger, and to get this analyzed effectively
often takes the assistance, not the exclusion of the doctor,
(05:43):
but the assistance of AI, and the interpretation has improved.
I wouldn't if AI is used properly. Yes, it could
be used deviously to our detriment, but it also could
be used exceptionally to our benefit. It's to really things
have to know who's using it.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
You've got to trust the people that are in charge,
if you will, And that how do we know? We
don't know any of these people.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Isn't that with everything we have to trust? You know
is a farm. We have to trust the people who
produce our milk. I open up that milk container. How
do I know that that's going to be safe to drink?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Because I said so? All right, yeah there you go,
doctor can Crone house is here with us. I'm Doug
Stephan and we are back to school. Oh yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. Here we are the first part of August
and schools and my grandson's going back to school. I
think it's a week from next Monday. Already out in California,
(06:45):
here's a special report on how families can navigate the
increasingly digital back to school season.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
As students returned to school, parents face new tech questions.
That's why on August ninth and tenth, Verizon retail storers
transform into back to School hubs for Verizon Family Weekend,
offering expert advice and practical solutions. Retail experts will demonstrate
setting up devices like the Gizmo Watch for secure connections,
optimizing connected tablets for learning, and using the Verizon Family
(07:15):
app for screen time management and digital safety. Learn more
at Verizon dot com Slash Family dashtag.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
All right, let's go back, ken to the discoveries in
cancer research that you've noticed, because there are a number
of different items here. First, brain tumors and what's being discovered.
What is the latest in I guess brain health generally speaking,
but brain tumors, because that's cancer would take over obviously,
(07:46):
the tumors would eat at your brain and that wouldn't
be good.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, Doug, New discoveries and cancer research. Let's stay there
right now, because there were several publications this past week
reported new findings related to cancer detection, and treatment. So
you mentioned brain tumors. So researchers at Mount Sine and
(08:11):
New York City have developed dug, a new approach using
nanoparticles to deliver anti cancer drugs more effective lead to
pediatric brain tumors such as medulo blastomas while sparing healthy
brain tissue. This method, dug it targets a homing mechanism
(08:33):
in the blood vessels of the tumor. So this is
real hope for treating cancer in general.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Wow, Yeah, I guess is a tumor A tumor A tumor?
Is are all tumors made the same.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
They're not all made the same, but many of them
have common features like what.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
The sales struction.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yes, like like this is where we're getting deep into
the weeds, doug like proteins that affect the growth structures.
But there are common enzymes, proteins, structures that you often
find especially on metastasize growing to other organisms cancers, and
(09:25):
that's where you look for common treatments. Right, So we
don't lose the whole audience.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah, Well, I think it's important for people to kind
of sometimes know a little bit more than what the
headline says. Here's some discovery for those who have a
problem with their gut and this is is this well,
I won't ask you this specific, I want you to
tell us to take it apart if you will tumors
in your gut.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Well, again, realize we're talking about new discoveries and cancer research.
So this week, Doug, so out of the medical journal
Nature Biomedical Engineering, we learned that there's another new cancer
therapy that was discovered this week where specific this is
where it gets a little unusual. Bacterial duos. This is
(10:15):
a combination of two bacteria actually eliminates tumors without relying
on the immune system. And this was not yet done
in humans, but clinical trials are beginning in six years.
But in computer models generated by AI of cancer, this
(10:36):
was a very effective way to treat these growing cancer
cells with these bacteria.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Number three in here, Ken, when it comes to discoveries
in cancer research is or report on sugar and cancer.
I'm not sure how to read this. You tell us
what you found out.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Well, remember these are structures. So this is from the
medical jeral Glycobiology. What else this week? A new sugar compound, Doug,
it's been discovered. Are you ready from deep sea bacteria
that can destroy cancer cells causes a form of cell
death known as pie optosis or fiery death. This sugar
(11:18):
compound found in c cucumbers could hold the key to
stopping the spread of cancer.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
How do people find Who is it that goes down
to do research and looks at something on a coral refenses?
I'm going to bring that back up. Maybe it'll help
us solve the mysteries of cancer. That's pretty amazing. And
then find me where's my sugar.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Where's my where's my AI computer?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yeah? Right, exactly, Hi, Doug Steffan Here, I'm with doctor
ken Kronhaus on Good Day Health. All right, So the
situation with Alzheimer's dementia, I think, just for clarification, I
(12:04):
think people still wonder which comes first, the chicken or
the egg. Alzheimer's is a part of dementia, or dementia
is a part of Alzheimer's.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Well, Alzheimer's is a type of dementia, and it's just
probably the most common type.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
All right, So what sort of research have you found
this week on Alzheimer's brain aging that sort of.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Stuff, Doug, progress in the fight against Alzheimer's disease and
other neurological conditions continues, and this week we report on
cancer drugs for Alzheimer's. It's out of the medical journal Cell.
It's a study where I was a cardiology fellow many
(12:50):
decades ago at University of California, San Francisco. They identify
cancer drugs that reverse the effects of Alzheimer's disease by
analyzing gene expression in brain cells, offering a potential new
avenue for treatment. Again, you're not going to figure this
out without AI. The combination of these two drugs you're
(13:11):
ready to mouthful lectrazol and iranote to can reduces the
amount of TAW clumps in the brain and improves learning.
And this is all hope for the soon future for
treating Alzheimer's.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Wow, it's just well, there's so many things that looks
like you can do. I have a very close friend
that went to a clinic at you mass with him
the other day to find out how because he's not
even aware of the things that are going on around him,
and he's worked for me for thirty years and I
feel like he's a part of my family, and so
I had myself added to the list of people just
(13:52):
he and his wife and me that have access to
his information and to talk to doctors, et cetera, et cetera,
et cetera. And what I become aware of because my
son and I my son was helping me understand this
in the last few weeks. How many drugs there are
around now that either can help to restore partially what
(14:15):
your brain and thinking were like before Alzheimer's, but certainly
it can stop it where it is. And there are
all kinds of new things and things that you would
never think, you know, would be helpful, like these weight
loss drugs. I think that didn't we talk about that?
And I just read it, and I'm thinking that we
talked about it, the weight loss drugs. We did talk
(14:36):
about it, right, That's what I thought. Yeah. Yeah, So
you know, you think about these things and you're thankful
in part. You know the fact that we have all
of this stuff in many instances is a result of
us growing bad food and not taking care of ourselves.
And so there's a plus and a minus here. One
(14:59):
of them is good that we have these things that
are going to help us. But does it give people
license they think, Okay, I'll be carefree because I know
there's something there to help me if.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I get it, you're asking me, yeah, kind of yeah.
I would not approach it that way. I would still
do whatever you can to reduce your risk, live healthy,
act healthily, but know that if something does happen, there's
some hope, but not do dangerous things knowing that there's hope.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
So there's a report I want to get dig right
into this because the summer COVID cases have been rising
across the country, and so there's a connection between COVID
nineteen and how your brain ages, which we will touch
upon when we continue here in this week's Good Day
Health doctor Ken Cronhaus with me. I'm Doug Stephan. Elizabeth
Miller is here. A very pleasant and informative conversation we
(15:54):
always have because she is pleasant and informative one of
the counselors that you may be exposed to if you
go to top loss dot com, the website for a Caldron.
So what if we look online right now at top
laws dot com. What are we going to see?
Speaker 4 (16:06):
It is if you go on our website top loss
dot com, you're going to see this new website. And
with every single order, the more you buy, the more
you save, you're going to say that you get a
free gift with purchase with every order. You can even
get free shipping on there. And then we do have
the buy three get three free. That's the one that
everybody loves to stock up and say big and it
is unlimited to there's also buy four geft four. You
(16:26):
can also do afterpay on our website if you want
to just lit up your payments, and we do custom
payment plans at no additional charge as well, So if
you want to do that by phone, you can call us.
So the website is top loss dot com or you
can call us eight three three top loss.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Use the dug code when you're doing the orders. That
helps out as well getting free shipping and the best
deal top loss dot com for Caldron. Here we are
back on good day health. Ken has an aggressive approach
to digging into the news of the week from the
various journals and then trying to have us understand what
some of this means. And so let's go to the
(17:01):
COVID situation. As I mentioned a few minutes ago, summer
COVID cases have risen across the US. A lot of
people are looking to there, especially in a number of states.
Let's see Illinois, Texas, Kentucky, Virginia, Ohio. According to what
I'm looking here, in the places where the most activity
(17:21):
is taking place, and people say it's time for a vaccine,
I think mister Kennedy has other ideas. Let's talk first.
I have some stuff about Kennedy. Let's talk about brain
aging because we're in that Alzheimer's place still and what
happens if you get COVID nineteen. Is it too soon
for a lot of research or is it just right
because we've spent what four or five years having to
(17:44):
deal with this?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Well, Doug, there was an interesting, not my happiest report
this week from Nature Communications Medical journal this week. This
new research, Doug, it indicates that the stress and isolation
of the pandemic may have accelerated brain aging in all
of us, even people who were not infected with COVID nineteen.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
So what do you take away from that? Is just
is it for every is everybody going to be affected?
Or is it just how do you know? How do
you feel? Getting the information is one thing, but how
do you know what affects you? How do you know
what this is about? Y owe you?
Speaker 2 (18:26):
You Well, I'm just telling you what these scientists who
study this and looked at you know, a broad population,
that's their conclusion. You know they I know you aren't
in the study, but you know they do their population
sampling wide enough and they see changes in the brain
(18:46):
that are independent of whether you had it or not.
So just treat your brain. Well, that's all you can
do right now, because you can only look forward. Don't
look back, and look forward, and just you know, do
whatever you can to live healthy. All the things we
talk about for a healthy heart maintains a healthy brain.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Okay, So I want to there's a couple of different
directions to go in here. Vaccines are something I want
to talk about when mister Kennedy said this week we're
talking about COVID whether it needs to be a vaccine.
But first I want to stay in the cancer realm
if we can for a moment, because there's I'm going
to try to figure this out. And adina carcinoma is
a cancer, right, add no carcinoma, add no car Okay.
(19:30):
Is it only found in the lung or is it
found elsewhere in the body.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
It can be found anywhere, there's glands, It's all over there.
It's not isolated. Yeah, not only it's just a malignant
tumor DOUG that's from glandular structures and epithelial tissues and
they're all over the body.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
M all right. So uh, the Medical Science News journal
has come up with some information it's hard for me
even to pronounce, never mind understand. So this nanobody what
take us through?
Speaker 2 (20:11):
This?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Will you? And how it affects people who have one
of these adena carcinomas.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
So DOUG researchers have engineered a nanobody conjugated liposome that's
a mouthful that specifically targets lung cancer and delivers doxorubusin
that's a chemotherapy drug directly to lung ad no carcinoma cells.
(20:38):
Preclinical models show dramatic suppression of tumor growth, indicating potential
for safer and more precise lung cancer treatment. The whole
idea here is that often with these very effective drugs
for cancer, before they get to the actual cancer, they
can damage normal strugructures, and this is a way of
(21:03):
delivering in these sub cell structures the magic formula to
the tumor cell without destroying the healthy cells.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Wow, you understand that. I think I understand it. But listen.
It's worth another listen to. So if you listen to
this program live on a radio station and you want
to hear what Ken just said, go to the podcast
good Day Healthshow dot com wherever you get your podcasts,
and you're going to listen to it back and forth
couple of times to get the essence of it. Okay,
(21:37):
Now moving into another area here that's important. I want
the vaccines we were talking about a little bit. There's
a new gonorrhea vaccine that appears to be being studied. But
I want to get a clarification. Kennedy said this week
as the Secretary of Health and Human Services that he
(21:57):
wanted to cut back on and wind down the mr
NA vaccine development efforts. This is what was used. This
was I remember talking about this specifically because that's what
the three different drug manufacturers came out with for a
vaccine for COVID. So what do you want to go
(22:18):
back to this? People may not remember what m N
M RNA vaccines were and how they were developed for COVID.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Well, you're really throwing me right into the fire here, Doug. Yes,
I don't think there's any you know, And I don't
think there's anything more controversial this week than that decision.
And I'm not going to untangle it for you because
I'm I'm only untangling it in my own mind myself,
(22:48):
and I want to research this a lot more, and
I was hoping you actually wouldn't bring it up.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Okay, all right, I just go ahead.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
No, because it is a great controversy in medicine right now, because,
as we know, the COVID nineteen vaccine was based on
not your traditional model for vaccines. The traditional model for
vaccine is either challenging the body with parts of the
(23:20):
substance you're trying to create antibody against that's been either
that's inactivated or parts of it, or even the whole
thing that's still alive and it's exposed to the body.
This is the traditional model. Either we expose parts of
(23:43):
an activated or inactivated idea that we're trying to create
antibody against. That's the traditional model. And what was used
in COVID nineteen to very quickly make a lot of
very potent vaccine was dealt with the molecular biology of
the body using messenger RNA, a whole new idea, and
(24:05):
it created very effective vaccines. You know, many of us
survived twenty twenty because we had a vaccine, although many
think right now that they've been permanently harmed because they
had a vaccine. And you know where the facts are there.
I've heard both sides with intensity this week, and I
(24:25):
don't know where reality is yet. So give me some
time to digest this, because I hear vaccine experts, you know,
very upset about this, and I hear other people very
happy and excited, and I don't know if we know
yet where where the facts are. Well.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Public health experts say that these vaccines save millions of lives.
Whether that I guess that's probably true to a point.
And so a lot of these infectious disease experts say
that some of these shots are safe and some of
them aren't. Hard to know which ones, but certainly Kennedy,
(25:05):
who's a vaccine skeptic and that's putting it mildly, says
that data shows these vaccines fail to protect effectively against
upper respiratory infections like the covid and flu. So you
give it some time and figure it out, all right.
Summer Activities Health Warning COVID nineteen. All these things have
(25:27):
come out of our mouths this week so far. There
are a lot of COVID nineteen cases that have historically
arisen during the month of August, and so here's some
more information on why early treatment is critical.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Despite COVID nineteen no longer dominating headlines, the virus hasn't disappeared.
Increased summer travel and gatherings can give it more chances
to spread regardless of vaccination status. Anti viral treatments are
available with the prescription Director of Salute America, doctor Amily Ramirez,
explains while.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
Some may only experience mild simes, for others, especially older
adults and those with underlying conditions, COVID nineteen can lead
to serious illness. Knowing that treatments are available and how
to get them best can help save lives.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Anti viral medications can significantly reduce the risk of severe illness, hospitalization,
or even death. They work best if taken within five
days after the first symptoms starts. If you feel sick,
test right away and call your doctor about prescription treatment options.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
It's very important to understand your risk, especially if you're
over fifty or have conditions like diabetes or heart disease.
Please don't wait early treatment makes a big difference.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
To learn more, visit sveep dot org or speak with
your doctor.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Back with doctor Ken Kronhaus, Doug Stefan and a muscle
loss focus weight loss. Does that mean you're going to
lose muscle as well? I guess it depends on what
you're taking. Quite a bit of information on weight loss
and drugs this week, So what do we have that
you want us to chew on?
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Ken? There are several new studies and articles have emerged
regarding weight loss, particularly concerning the GLP one agonists like ozepic,
and there's this week a report from the University of
Virginia a study that warns that while GLP one drugs
are quite effective for weight loss, they do not improve
(27:23):
cardio respiratory fitness and may lead to muscle loss. This
highlights Doug the importance of incorporating exercise to maintain a
critical measure of health. So when you're on these drugs,
and so many people are, you just have to make
sure once the doctor says it's okay, and maybe with
the assistance of your doctor, make sure there's also an
(27:46):
exercise program so that you can make sure as the
fact goes away, the muscle doesn't also.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Right, which is that very important. That's why putting in
on a plug I suppose for calendar and you lose
weight the natural way, have support for getting those muscles
back and you don't want to lose that. That's important,
all right. So after you lose the weight, there's some
information on the support that you need after you've been
treated with these JLP one drugs.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Yeah, very important. Out of the British Medical Journal the
BMJ this week, DOUG the National Institutes for Health and
Care Excellence NICE National Institutes for Health and Care Excellence
has recommended that patients coming off weight loss injections DOUG
they need support for at least a year. This news
(28:39):
report in the BMJ underscores the importance of a long term,
holistic approach to weight management beyond the medication itself. So
losing the weight is not just getting these injections yourself.
You need to do this in a program that's going
to follow you during and after to make sure this
(28:59):
weight loss stays and you're in a full body program
that optimizes the effects.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
All right. So there's also a treatment in nature medicine
on diet and weight loss from a different perspective. So
do you want to underline what the let's add that
to the information just passed along to us.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Yes, there's a major UK trial. Doug has shown that
eating a diet of minimally processed foods leads to superior
weight loss and better appetite control compared to a healthy diet,
and that's in quotes of processed foods, even when both
(29:41):
follow official guidelines. So in this eight week program participants, Doug,
they eate minimally processed meals like oat meal or homemade
spaghetti blow boloney. Then for another eight weeks they munched
on things like ultra processed foods like breakfast oat bars
or any packaged lasagna, and the weight loss was much
(30:04):
better as you would think with the unprocessed foods.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Mm hmm. All right, so there's an update on a
lot of weight loss information for you. Back with doctor
Ken Cronhaus Doug Stephan questions on vaccines. We've been talking
about that during the course of this program. Here's something
I find interesting. Dental floss has been used to instead
(30:34):
of using a needle to administer vaccine. Am I getting
this right?
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Doug reported this week in nature biomedical engineering. It seems
there's a new way of delivering vaccines with floss no needle.
This was, however, a mouse study, but it was very effective.
One thing is you do need to have teeth. But
I think in the future one of the ways that
(31:00):
we're going to deliver vaccines is without that ouch shot.
But by dental flaws good.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
You mean you flush your teeth and this stuff will
go into your body that way exactly.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Wow, very good way to get to them.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
I figured that out, all right. And with vaccines, I
mentioned earlier in the program that there was a just
sort of a side note when I began to talk
about vaccines with you, there's a gonorrhea vaccine. I thought
we already had one.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
British Medical Journal reported just this week a new goneria
vaccine rollout DOUG. It's aiming to save millions of dollars
in combat soaring cases of numbers of gonohea, according to
this new study in the BMJ this week. So that's
really good news.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
All right. How long does it take to be diagnosed
once you get dementia or related diseases? How long before.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
You're going to know?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
I think this is one of the things that scares
people because you can see a lot of in some
of the trend of your information that's around is that
you will not know that you haven't until you've had
it for three years. What do we think about that?
Speaker 2 (32:10):
It really varies depending on how severe the case is,
sometimes over a few weeks a year, and it can
sometimes take one assessment, multiple assessments. I think it just
depends on how severe the case is. You can't it's
not one size fits all.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
No, well, it's for all. You must see that. As
a cardiologist down in Florida, you must. Everybody has to
be unique. I know you've said something to me recently
about how you'd helped save a lot of people with
a particular approach to statins or to dealing with cholesterol.
Not so much status, but dealing with cholesterol. And so
(32:50):
I guess I wonder sometimes how many different problems can
be created in the heart? How many different problems do
you see? Can you even out them?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I mean, how many heart diagnoses are there possible?
Speaker 1 (33:04):
How many issues are there? How many ways can the
go signs?
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Have you ever seen a textbook of cardiology? Be a Hernian?
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Okay? I guess that answers the question Doctor Ken by
the way cardiologists down on Montdurra, Floridi practices at Lake Cardiology,
and lots of people get excited about going to visit him.
He does have time, he does take on new patients.
So if you care to join the crew down there,
you dial them up in the office at three five
two seven three five one four double low for a visit.
(33:38):
How healthy is ice cream? This is something that I
put us on. June was a National dairy month and
a lot of conversation with people because there is some
information that suggests ice cream actually is healthy, is good
for you, and so one wonders, I think it has
to do with your brain and how you feel, because
(34:00):
I've said hundreds of times I sell a lot of
ice cream on my farm, and I say to people
ice cream. I sort of say it facetiously, or at
least I used to un till I saw this, that
ice cream is health food. But ice cream is for
all kinds of reasons, really a healthy alternative. For you know,
ice cream fixes everything in a sense. What do you
(34:22):
think of that?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Well, well, it puts a smile on our face. It's
like AI, this Doug gets positive and negatives, the positives.
It has calcium in vitamin D. But on the downside,
you have to watch the high sugar, fat and calorie content.
You know, you may not think it's real ice cream,
but just look for the lower fat saturated fat ice
cream if you can, and the lower sugar if you can.
(34:45):
But again it's a treat.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
That's no that's no fun. All right. Quick questions are
kidney stones? Are there more of them around these days
or less? Is it about the same.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Big problem kidney stones?
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Really? And because by having gone calcium in your system, right,
maybe you need too much ice cream? They could.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
We could go over that, you know what caused them.
There's just a lot of reasons. And why don't we
talk about that next week?
Speaker 1 (35:13):
All right, that's up to you. That's good. Put it
on the schedule next week. It'll be another time just
like this for us to build up our knowledge of
what's going on in research in the world of medicine.
Good Day Healthshow dot com is where you pick up
the podcast wherever you get your podcasts, and we have
doctor Ken Cronhaus to thank for that. I'm Doug Stephan.
Speaker 6 (35:32):
This program was produced at Bobksound and recording, please visit
bobksound dot com.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
This Good Day Health Doug Stefan with doctor Ken Cronhaus,
sponsored in part by Caldron, which is the safe way
for you to lose weight and keep it off
The Good Day Health Podcast with doctor Ken Cronhouse, sponsored
in part by Calendron, The Safe, proven Way to lose
weight and keep it off. I'm Doug Stefan to sort
of lead us down this path of information. Ken spends
a lot of time, is a researcher himself at his clinic.
Late Cardiology is down in Montdurra, Florida. Great place for
(00:21):
you to go to have some fund It's a lovely
community and also a great place to have your self
checked out if you will by Ken. So if you
feel that that's a good idea, you're from Florida and
you want to go to the office, that's a super idea.
Further away, help yourself to tell themedicine. That's the that's
sort of a holdover from COVID, but still very much
(00:45):
a part of what people want to have in terms
of interaction with their doctors. Three five two seven three
five fourteen hundred, if I may reminding you of that
number as we get started. Three five two seven three
five fourteen hundred. Lot of focus this week. You were
a busy boy doing their research, and I thought maybe
(01:06):
we'd start with the AI question that many people have
and how it will impact healthcare. There are a lot
of different things. I guess you could use it for.
I know there are a lot of people on Bill
Maher's program last Friday, he had sort of the guru
of AI information and lots of warnings about how it's
(01:29):
already being misused and how it's already out of control,
and how stupid it was to invent it. The egos
of the people who have made AI something somewhat of
a tool without really realizing what the negative side of
it is. So, yeah, there's plenty of benefit, but they
(01:51):
already are trying to figure out how to survive. They
know they can think these AI creatures, whatever they are,
wherever they are. This guy says that there are plenty
of examples of them being slated to be decommissioned, and
they know it, so they figure out ways that they
(02:12):
can't be decommissioned. And it's as scary as hell. Frankly,
this is some of these conversations. But anyway, let's talk
about is there anything to be worried about with AI
and healthcare or is it all good?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Well? I think it's like any new technology, Doug. You know,
when the automobile was created, it was good that you
could transport yourself from one point to the other, but
you could run people over. So it's with any new technology,
there's going to be definitely positives and negatives, and there
are definitely those of AI. But AI, the integration of
(02:50):
Artificial Intelligence and healthcare DOUG, it continues to be a
major topic. It's not going away. It's going to be
there and hopefully we make the best of it. And
there's good news that comes out this week from the
National Institutes of Health DOUG. These researchers at the National
Institutes of Health have developed an AI agent that improves
(03:11):
the accuracy of gene set analysis. This tool DOUG, which
leverages expert curated databases. It'll help scientists better understand how
diseases affect groups of genes. And I think the future
in treating, curing, preventing disease is going to be within
the genes. And the only way we're going to untangle
(03:34):
this is by using AI.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
The only way. No, we can't use our brains to
figure it out.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Well, we've gone pretty far with our brains alone, and
we really have just barely got to the surface.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I don't know, then, are we supposed to know all
of this stuff. I could be very philosophical about this,
but the future. I was reading something about how the
future of orthopedics in many ways depends on what we
can learn through the availability of the tool, the AI
tool and palliative care is.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That well, so much of what is determined, if not all,
in the body how it functions, is in the gene structure.
And and that's where instead of just treating symptoms, but
actually treating the cause and preventing so many of these
problems that we have is going to be in changing
(04:34):
or repairing the genes. And you know, if this sounds
a little bit creepy to you, that's what it's going
to take to get to the real next level.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Wow, Okay, let's can AI be used for any kind
of like cancer research. I'm sure that when you're looking
in healthcare we in general, but talking about cancer and
cancer research and heart I had an MRI my heart
done the other day, and I wonder how much of that,
(05:10):
how much of the information is analyzed by some AI tool.
This is something you suggested that I do, and so
I had it done, and I'm just interested to see
what it says.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Depending on the place where you did many centers now
as the radiologists are using AI to assist them to
interpret huge data sets. As we image you, the data
gets bigger and bigger, and to get this analyzed effectively
often takes the assistance, not the exclusion of the doctor,
(05:43):
but the assistance of AI, and the interpretation has improved.
I wouldn't if AI is used properly. Yes, it could
be used deviously to our detriment, but it also could
be used exceptionally to our benefit. It's to really things
have to know who's using it.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
You've got to trust the people that are in charge,
if you will, And that how do we know? We
don't know any of these people.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Isn't that with everything we have to trust? You know
is a farm. We have to trust the people who
produce our milk. I open up that milk container. How
do I know that that's going to be safe to drink?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Because I said so? All right, yeah there you go,
doctor can Crone house is here with us. I'm Doug
Stephan and we are back to school. Oh yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. Here we are the first part of August
and schools and my grandson's going back to school. I
think it's a week from next Monday. Already out in California,
(06:45):
here's a special report on how families can navigate the
increasingly digital back to school season.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
As students returned to school, parents face new tech questions.
That's why on August ninth and tenth, Verizon retail storers
transform into back to School hubs for Verizon Family Weekend,
offering expert advice and practical solutions. Retail experts will demonstrate
setting up devices like the Gizmo Watch for secure connections,
optimizing connected tablets for learning, and using the Verizon Family
(07:15):
app for screen time management and digital safety. Learn more
at Verizon dot com Slash Family dashtag.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
All right, let's go back, ken to the discoveries in
cancer research that you've noticed, because there are a number
of different items here. First, brain tumors and what's being discovered.
What is the latest in I guess brain health generally speaking,
but brain tumors, because that's cancer would take over obviously,
(07:46):
the tumors would eat at your brain and that wouldn't
be good.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, Doug, New discoveries and cancer research. Let's stay there
right now, because there were several publications this past week
reported new findings related to cancer detection, and treatment. So
you mentioned brain tumors. So researchers at Mount Sine and
(08:11):
New York City have developed dug, a new approach using
nanoparticles to deliver anti cancer drugs more effective lead to
pediatric brain tumors such as medulo blastomas while sparing healthy
brain tissue. This method, dug it targets a homing mechanism
(08:33):
in the blood vessels of the tumor. So this is
real hope for treating cancer in general.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Wow, Yeah, I guess is a tumor A tumor A tumor?
Is are all tumors made the same.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
They're not all made the same, but many of them
have common features like what.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
The sales struction.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yes, like like this is where we're getting deep into
the weeds, doug like proteins that affect the growth structures.
But there are common enzymes, proteins, structures that you often
find especially on metastasize growing to other organisms cancers, and
(09:25):
that's where you look for common treatments. Right, So we
don't lose the whole audience.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah, Well, I think it's important for people to kind
of sometimes know a little bit more than what the
headline says. Here's some discovery for those who have a
problem with their gut and this is is this well,
I won't ask you this specific, I want you to
tell us to take it apart if you will tumors
in your gut.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Well, again, realize we're talking about new discoveries and cancer research.
So this week, Doug, so out of the medical journal
Nature Biomedical Engineering, we learned that there's another new cancer
therapy that was discovered this week where specific this is
where it gets a little unusual. Bacterial duos. This is
(10:15):
a combination of two bacteria actually eliminates tumors without relying
on the immune system. And this was not yet done
in humans, but clinical trials are beginning in six years.
But in computer models generated by AI of cancer, this
(10:36):
was a very effective way to treat these growing cancer
cells with these bacteria.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Number three in here, Ken, when it comes to discoveries
in cancer research is or report on sugar and cancer.
I'm not sure how to read this. You tell us
what you found out.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Well, remember these are structures. So this is from the
medical jeral Glycobiology. What else this week? A new sugar compound, Doug,
it's been discovered. Are you ready from deep sea bacteria
that can destroy cancer cells causes a form of cell
death known as pie optosis or fiery death. This sugar
(11:18):
compound found in c cucumbers could hold the key to
stopping the spread of cancer.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
How do people find Who is it that goes down
to do research and looks at something on a coral refenses?
I'm going to bring that back up. Maybe it'll help
us solve the mysteries of cancer. That's pretty amazing. And
then find me where's my sugar.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Where's my where's my AI computer?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yeah? Right, exactly, Hi, Doug Steffan Here, I'm with doctor
ken Kronhaus on Good Day Health. All right, So the
situation with Alzheimer's dementia, I think, just for clarification, I
(12:04):
think people still wonder which comes first, the chicken or
the egg. Alzheimer's is a part of dementia, or dementia
is a part of Alzheimer's.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Well, Alzheimer's is a type of dementia, and it's just
probably the most common type.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
All right, So what sort of research have you found
this week on Alzheimer's brain aging that sort of.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Stuff, Doug, progress in the fight against Alzheimer's disease and
other neurological conditions continues, and this week we report on
cancer drugs for Alzheimer's. It's out of the medical journal Cell.
It's a study where I was a cardiology fellow many
(12:50):
decades ago at University of California, San Francisco. They identify
cancer drugs that reverse the effects of Alzheimer's disease by
analyzing gene expression in brain cells, offering a potential new
avenue for treatment. Again, you're not going to figure this
out without AI. The combination of these two drugs you're
(13:11):
ready to mouthful lectrazol and iranote to can reduces the
amount of TAW clumps in the brain and improves learning.
And this is all hope for the soon future for
treating Alzheimer's.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Wow, it's just well, there's so many things that looks
like you can do. I have a very close friend
that went to a clinic at you mass with him
the other day to find out how because he's not
even aware of the things that are going on around him,
and he's worked for me for thirty years and I
feel like he's a part of my family, and so
I had myself added to the list of people just
(13:52):
he and his wife and me that have access to
his information and to talk to doctors, et cetera, et cetera,
et cetera. And what I become aware of because my
son and I my son was helping me understand this
in the last few weeks. How many drugs there are
around now that either can help to restore partially what
(14:15):
your brain and thinking were like before Alzheimer's, but certainly
it can stop it where it is. And there are
all kinds of new things and things that you would
never think, you know, would be helpful, like these weight
loss drugs. I think that didn't we talk about that?
And I just read it, and I'm thinking that we
talked about it, the weight loss drugs. We did talk
(14:36):
about it, right, That's what I thought. Yeah. Yeah, So
you know, you think about these things and you're thankful
in part. You know the fact that we have all
of this stuff in many instances is a result of
us growing bad food and not taking care of ourselves.
And so there's a plus and a minus here. One
(14:59):
of them is good that we have these things that
are going to help us. But does it give people
license they think, Okay, I'll be carefree because I know
there's something there to help me if.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I get it, you're asking me, yeah, kind of yeah.
I would not approach it that way. I would still
do whatever you can to reduce your risk, live healthy,
act healthily, but know that if something does happen, there's
some hope, but not do dangerous things knowing that there's hope.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
So there's a report I want to get dig right
into this because the summer COVID cases have been rising
across the country, and so there's a connection between COVID
nineteen and how your brain ages, which we will touch
upon when we continue here in this week's Good Day
Health doctor Ken Cronhaus with me. I'm Doug Stephan. Elizabeth
Miller is here. A very pleasant and informative conversation we
(15:54):
always have because she is pleasant and informative one of
the counselors that you may be exposed to if you
go to top loss dot com, the website for a Caldron.
So what if we look online right now at top
laws dot com. What are we going to see?
Speaker 4 (16:06):
It is if you go on our website top loss
dot com, you're going to see this new website. And
with every single order, the more you buy, the more
you save, you're going to say that you get a
free gift with purchase with every order. You can even
get free shipping on there. And then we do have
the buy three get three free. That's the one that
everybody loves to stock up and say big and it
is unlimited to there's also buy four geft four. You
(16:26):
can also do afterpay on our website if you want
to just lit up your payments, and we do custom
payment plans at no additional charge as well, So if
you want to do that by phone, you can call us.
So the website is top loss dot com or you
can call us eight three three top loss.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Use the dug code when you're doing the orders. That
helps out as well getting free shipping and the best
deal top loss dot com for Caldron. Here we are
back on good day health. Ken has an aggressive approach
to digging into the news of the week from the
various journals and then trying to have us understand what
some of this means. And so let's go to the
(17:01):
COVID situation. As I mentioned a few minutes ago, summer
COVID cases have risen across the US. A lot of
people are looking to there, especially in a number of states.
Let's see Illinois, Texas, Kentucky, Virginia, Ohio. According to what
I'm looking here, in the places where the most activity
(17:21):
is taking place, and people say it's time for a vaccine,
I think mister Kennedy has other ideas. Let's talk first.
I have some stuff about Kennedy. Let's talk about brain
aging because we're in that Alzheimer's place still and what
happens if you get COVID nineteen. Is it too soon
for a lot of research or is it just right
because we've spent what four or five years having to
(17:44):
deal with this?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Well, Doug, there was an interesting, not my happiest report
this week from Nature Communications Medical journal this week. This
new research, Doug, it indicates that the stress and isolation
of the pandemic may have accelerated brain aging in all
of us, even people who were not infected with COVID nineteen.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
So what do you take away from that? Is just
is it for every is everybody going to be affected?
Or is it just how do you know? How do
you feel? Getting the information is one thing, but how
do you know what affects you? How do you know
what this is about? Y owe you?
Speaker 2 (18:26):
You Well, I'm just telling you what these scientists who
study this and looked at you know, a broad population,
that's their conclusion. You know they I know you aren't
in the study, but you know they do their population
sampling wide enough and they see changes in the brain
(18:46):
that are independent of whether you had it or not.
So just treat your brain. Well, that's all you can
do right now, because you can only look forward. Don't
look back, and look forward, and just you know, do
whatever you can to live healthy. All the things we
talk about for a healthy heart maintains a healthy brain.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Okay, So I want to there's a couple of different
directions to go in here. Vaccines are something I want
to talk about when mister Kennedy said this week we're
talking about COVID whether it needs to be a vaccine.
But first I want to stay in the cancer realm
if we can for a moment, because there's I'm going
to try to figure this out. And adina carcinoma is
a cancer, right, add no carcinoma, add no car Okay.
(19:30):
Is it only found in the lung or is it
found elsewhere in the body.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
It can be found anywhere, there's glands, It's all over there.
It's not isolated. Yeah, not only it's just a malignant
tumor DOUG that's from glandular structures and epithelial tissues and
they're all over the body.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
M all right. So uh, the Medical Science News journal
has come up with some information it's hard for me
even to pronounce, never mind understand. So this nanobody what
take us through?
Speaker 2 (20:11):
This?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Will you? And how it affects people who have one
of these adena carcinomas.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
So DOUG researchers have engineered a nanobody conjugated liposome that's
a mouthful that specifically targets lung cancer and delivers doxorubusin
that's a chemotherapy drug directly to lung ad no carcinoma cells.
(20:38):
Preclinical models show dramatic suppression of tumor growth, indicating potential
for safer and more precise lung cancer treatment. The whole
idea here is that often with these very effective drugs
for cancer, before they get to the actual cancer, they
can damage normal strugructures, and this is a way of
(21:03):
delivering in these sub cell structures the magic formula to
the tumor cell without destroying the healthy cells.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Wow, you understand that. I think I understand it. But listen.
It's worth another listen to. So if you listen to
this program live on a radio station and you want
to hear what Ken just said, go to the podcast
good Day Healthshow dot com wherever you get your podcasts,
and you're going to listen to it back and forth
couple of times to get the essence of it. Okay,
(21:37):
Now moving into another area here that's important. I want
the vaccines we were talking about a little bit. There's
a new gonorrhea vaccine that appears to be being studied. But
I want to get a clarification. Kennedy said this week
as the Secretary of Health and Human Services that he
(21:57):
wanted to cut back on and wind down the mr
NA vaccine development efforts. This is what was used. This
was I remember talking about this specifically because that's what
the three different drug manufacturers came out with for a
vaccine for COVID. So what do you want to go
(22:18):
back to this? People may not remember what m N
M RNA vaccines were and how they were developed for COVID.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Well, you're really throwing me right into the fire here, Doug. Yes,
I don't think there's any you know, And I don't
think there's anything more controversial this week than that decision.
And I'm not going to untangle it for you because
I'm I'm only untangling it in my own mind myself,
(22:48):
and I want to research this a lot more, and
I was hoping you actually wouldn't bring it up.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Okay, all right, I just go ahead.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
No, because it is a great controversy in medicine right now, because,
as we know, the COVID nineteen vaccine was based on
not your traditional model for vaccines. The traditional model for
vaccine is either challenging the body with parts of the
(23:20):
substance you're trying to create antibody against that's been either
that's inactivated or parts of it, or even the whole
thing that's still alive and it's exposed to the body.
This is the traditional model. Either we expose parts of
(23:43):
an activated or inactivated idea that we're trying to create
antibody against. That's the traditional model. And what was used
in COVID nineteen to very quickly make a lot of
very potent vaccine was dealt with the molecular biology of
the body using messenger RNA, a whole new idea, and
(24:05):
it created very effective vaccines. You know, many of us
survived twenty twenty because we had a vaccine, although many
think right now that they've been permanently harmed because they
had a vaccine. And you know where the facts are there.
I've heard both sides with intensity this week, and I
(24:25):
don't know where reality is yet. So give me some
time to digest this, because I hear vaccine experts, you know,
very upset about this, and I hear other people very
happy and excited, and I don't know if we know
yet where where the facts are. Well.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Public health experts say that these vaccines save millions of lives.
Whether that I guess that's probably true to a point.
And so a lot of these infectious disease experts say
that some of these shots are safe and some of
them aren't. Hard to know which ones, but certainly Kennedy,
(25:05):
who's a vaccine skeptic and that's putting it mildly, says
that data shows these vaccines fail to protect effectively against
upper respiratory infections like the covid and flu. So you
give it some time and figure it out, all right.
Summer Activities Health Warning COVID nineteen. All these things have
(25:27):
come out of our mouths this week so far. There
are a lot of COVID nineteen cases that have historically
arisen during the month of August, and so here's some
more information on why early treatment is critical.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Despite COVID nineteen no longer dominating headlines, the virus hasn't disappeared.
Increased summer travel and gatherings can give it more chances
to spread regardless of vaccination status. Anti viral treatments are
available with the prescription Director of Salute America, doctor Amily Ramirez,
explains while.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
Some may only experience mild simes, for others, especially older
adults and those with underlying conditions, COVID nineteen can lead
to serious illness. Knowing that treatments are available and how
to get them best can help save lives.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Anti viral medications can significantly reduce the risk of severe illness, hospitalization,
or even death. They work best if taken within five
days after the first symptoms starts. If you feel sick,
test right away and call your doctor about prescription treatment options.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
It's very important to understand your risk, especially if you're
over fifty or have conditions like diabetes or heart disease.
Please don't wait early treatment makes a big difference.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Back with doctor Ken Kronhaus, Doug Stefan and a muscle
loss focus weight loss. Does that mean you're going to
lose muscle as well? I guess it depends on what
you're taking. Quite a bit of information on weight loss
and drugs this week, So what do we have that
you want us to chew on?
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Ken? There are several new studies and articles have emerged
regarding weight loss, particularly concerning the GLP one agonists like ozepic,
and there's this week a report from the University of
Virginia a study that warns that while GLP one drugs
are quite effective for weight loss, they do not improve
(27:23):
cardio respiratory fitness and may lead to muscle loss. This
highlights Doug the importance of incorporating exercise to maintain a
critical measure of health. So when you're on these drugs,
and so many people are, you just have to make
sure once the doctor says it's okay, and maybe with
the assistance of your doctor, make sure there's also an
(27:46):
exercise program so that you can make sure as the
fact goes away, the muscle doesn't also.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Right, which is that very important. That's why putting in
on a plug I suppose for calendar and you lose
weight the natural way, have support for getting those muscles
back and you don't want to lose that. That's important,
all right. So after you lose the weight, there's some
information on the support that you need after you've been
treated with these JLP one drugs.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Yeah, very important. Out of the British Medical Journal the
BMJ this week, DOUG the National Institutes for Health and
Care Excellence NICE National Institutes for Health and Care Excellence
has recommended that patients coming off weight loss injections DOUG
they need support for at least a year. This news
(28:39):
report in the BMJ underscores the importance of a long term,
holistic approach to weight management beyond the medication itself. So
losing the weight is not just getting these injections yourself.
You need to do this in a program that's going
to follow you during and after to make sure this
(28:59):
weight loss stays and you're in a full body program
that optimizes the effects.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
All right. So there's also a treatment in nature medicine
on diet and weight loss from a different perspective. So
do you want to underline what the let's add that
to the information just passed along to us.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Yes, there's a major UK trial. Doug has shown that
eating a diet of minimally processed foods leads to superior
weight loss and better appetite control compared to a healthy diet,
and that's in quotes of processed foods, even when both
(29:41):
follow official guidelines. So in this eight week program participants, Doug,
they eate minimally processed meals like oat meal or homemade
spaghetti blow boloney. Then for another eight weeks they munched
on things like ultra processed foods like breakfast oat bars
or any packaged lasagna, and the weight loss was much
(30:04):
better as you would think with the unprocessed foods.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Mm hmm. All right, so there's an update on a
lot of weight loss information for you. Back with doctor
Ken Cronhaus Doug Stephan questions on vaccines. We've been talking
about that during the course of this program. Here's something
I find interesting. Dental floss has been used to instead
(30:34):
of using a needle to administer vaccine. Am I getting
this right?
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Doug reported this week in nature biomedical engineering. It seems
there's a new way of delivering vaccines with floss no needle.
This was, however, a mouse study, but it was very effective.
One thing is you do need to have teeth. But
I think in the future one of the ways that
(31:00):
we're going to deliver vaccines is without that ouch shot.
But by dental flaws good.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
You mean you flush your teeth and this stuff will
go into your body that way exactly.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Wow, very good way to get to them.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
I figured that out, all right. And with vaccines, I
mentioned earlier in the program that there was a just
sort of a side note when I began to talk
about vaccines with you, there's a gonorrhea vaccine. I thought
we already had one.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
British Medical Journal reported just this week a new goneria
vaccine rollout DOUG. It's aiming to save millions of dollars
in combat soaring cases of numbers of gonohea, according to
this new study in the BMJ this week. So that's
really good news.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
All right. How long does it take to be diagnosed
once you get dementia or related diseases? How long before.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
You're going to know?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
I think this is one of the things that scares
people because you can see a lot of in some
of the trend of your information that's around is that
you will not know that you haven't until you've had
it for three years. What do we think about that?
Speaker 2 (32:10):
It really varies depending on how severe the case is,
sometimes over a few weeks a year, and it can
sometimes take one assessment, multiple assessments. I think it just
depends on how severe the case is. You can't it's
not one size fits all.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
No, well, it's for all. You must see that. As
a cardiologist down in Florida, you must. Everybody has to
be unique. I know you've said something to me recently
about how you'd helped save a lot of people with
a particular approach to statins or to dealing with cholesterol.
Not so much status, but dealing with cholesterol. And so
(32:50):
I guess I wonder sometimes how many different problems can
be created in the heart? How many different problems do
you see? Can you even out them?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I mean, how many heart diagnoses are there possible?
Speaker 1 (33:04):
How many issues are there? How many ways can the
go signs?
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Have you ever seen a textbook of cardiology? Be a Hernian?
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Okay? I guess that answers the question Doctor Ken by
the way cardiologists down on Montdurra, Floridi practices at Lake Cardiology,
and lots of people get excited about going to visit him.
He does have time, he does take on new patients.
So if you care to join the crew down there,
you dial them up in the office at three five
two seven three five one four double low for a visit.
(33:38):
How healthy is ice cream? This is something that I
put us on. June was a National dairy month and
a lot of conversation with people because there is some
information that suggests ice cream actually is healthy, is good
for you, and so one wonders, I think it has
to do with your brain and how you feel, because
(34:00):
I've said hundreds of times I sell a lot of
ice cream on my farm, and I say to people
ice cream. I sort of say it facetiously, or at
least I used to un till I saw this, that
ice cream is health food. But ice cream is for
all kinds of reasons, really a healthy alternative. For you know,
ice cream fixes everything in a sense. What do you
(34:22):
think of that?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Well, well, it puts a smile on our face. It's
like AI, this Doug gets positive and negatives, the positives.
It has calcium in vitamin D. But on the downside,
you have to watch the high sugar, fat and calorie content.
You know, you may not think it's real ice cream,
but just look for the lower fat saturated fat ice
cream if you can, and the lower sugar if you can.
(34:45):
But again it's a treat.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
That's no that's no fun. All right. Quick questions are
kidney stones? Are there more of them around these days
or less? Is it about the same.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Big problem kidney stones?
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Really? And because by having gone calcium in your system, right,
maybe you need too much ice cream? They could.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
We could go over that, you know what caused them.
There's just a lot of reasons. And why don't we
talk about that next week?
Speaker 1 (35:13):
All right, that's up to you. That's good. Put it
on the schedule next week. It'll be another time just
like this for us to build up our knowledge of
what's going on in research in the world of medicine.
