Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), covers the the biggest news in the health and wellness space from a holistic, naturopath perspective.
First, Dr. Jack starts off with a question at his clinic — a 14 year old young lady who is being pressured by her peer group to go vegetarian, even fulling vegan. Dr. Jack makes no secret that he is a big advocate for a meat-eating diet for overall health, so he is here to address the concepts of vegetarianism, including both truths and myths of a plant-based diet. Only 11% of the land on this Earth can be farmed without deforestation, without massive irrigation, and without massive use of chemical fertilizers. Dr. Jack appreciates the approach of vegetarianism/veganism when it’s on the focus of empathy for advocating for not killing animals, but he also points out the number of animals killed (needlessly) due to grain and produce farming. It’s an insightful telling of what really goes into carnivorous eating habits over vegetarianism, as well as what true veganism actually is and why so many people get confused.
Dr. Jack then goes on to discuss that it’s OK to be a vegetarian, so long as you become a student of human nutrition to ensure that you are still getting all of the nutrients the human body needs. Humans are not designed to be solely meat-eaters, nor plant-based only. We are designed to eat a variety of foods.
Lastly, Doug joins Dr. Jack to further the conversation with a new focus on moving one’s memory, and the best way to boost brain power and improve our memory as it relates to keeping it active to stave off dementia and Alzheimer’s, how aroma therapy can be used to boost our mood as well as trigger memories and improve cognitive ability, and a holistic approach to brain health.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the Good Day Health Podcast with doctor Jack Stockwell,
sponsored in part by Calidrid, the safe, proven way to
lose weight and keep it off. Check it all out
at toploss dot com.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'm doctor Jack Stockwell at Forbidden doctor dot com and I,
as I usually do as a participant in the Doug
Stefan Good Day Health Show series, try to answer questions
as best I can that either are emailed to my
office from the listening audience that would be Jack Stockwell
(00:32):
Office at gmail dot com or my patients. And most
of the questions, of course are from my patients because
that's what I'm obviously I'm exposed to the most, and
what we've gone through. We've gone through a lot of
you know, food choices and what to eat and.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
What not to eat, and sugar and.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
The overly processing of foods and oils and things. I've
been talking about one question I was asked about, just
a sincere an asking of a question by a fourteen
year old young lady the other day in my clinic
that is being pressured by her peer group to go
(01:18):
vegetarian and even worse, to go vegan, and she I've
been taking care of her since she was six or
seven years old, following a little injury that took place
on a trampoline. And so I see her maybe once
twice at the most three times a year because something's happened.
(01:41):
But now that she's getting this pressure and her parents,
of course are not happy about it, but they you know,
they want to kind of give her some space to
discover the life that she wants to live. At the
same time, they know that that's not her best option,
even though she may think it is. So I wanted
(02:02):
to address that. I wanted to address some concepts of vegetarianism,
especially some myths, some truths and some myths about it.
Because we had this, I ended up talking to her.
I made some other patients upset with me because they
they had arrived in the clinical on time and I
was running almost a half an hour behind. Because it
was very important to me to make sure that she
(02:26):
understood from my point of view, which is what she
was why she was asking me how I felt about this,
and so I just let her start talking about, you know,
where where's this coming from? What kind of questions do
you have? What are your friends telling you? And there
you know, the standard, the standard kind of questions, and
like all all the hungry, all the hungry on our
(02:49):
planet could be fed if the grazing land for cattle
were cultivated for crops. And I said, well, that's an
easy one to believe, but it's also an easy one
to understand the truth, because only about eleven percent, eleven
percent of the land on this earth can be farmed,
(03:12):
and a percentage that cannot be increased without deforestation, without
irreg massive irrigation, without massive use of chemical fertilizers, and
the other kinds of things that just simply destroy the
ecological balance. She hadn't heard that, she said, in conjunction
(03:34):
with that, the idea that eating meat contributes to famine,
it depletes the earth's natural resources. And I said, when
it's properly carried out through managed grazing, animal husbandry actually
builds the soil, It builds soil fertility, and it restores
(03:56):
the deficiencies back into the soil that grain production destroys,
because with grain production, they're not rotating the crops, they're
not covering, they're not arresting the land. They spray that
ground with the heavy chemical fertilizers before the planting, during
(04:19):
the growing prior to harvest that continues to destroy the soil.
But when you have a situation where animal husbandry is
being done correctly, it rebuilds the soil. She said that livestock,
not just cattle, but livestock in general. What she had
(04:40):
heard was that the major source of greenhouse gas emissions,
and I said, yeah, that's another one that's floating around
out there. I said, only a very small percentage. Actually,
a very small percentage of atmospheric methane comes from the
back end of a cow. So the largest source, I
said to her, is the burning fossil fuels for electricity
(05:01):
and heat and transportation. Do you drive a car, No,
she's not old enough to drive a car yet. Do
you have a cell phone? Yeah, where's the electricity coming
from for that cell phone. It's coming from a power
plant that's using fossil fuels that is blowing all that
stuff up into the atmosphere, far more than cows can
possibly do. And a surprising source of these greenhouse emissions
(05:26):
are the wetlands and as certain areas of the Russian
Siberian tundra are getting warmer, more and more, the ground
is thawing below the permafrost, and massive amounts of methane
is coming up out of these formerly frozen swamp plant.
(05:48):
She'd never heard of that, So I said, raising animals
on pasture is really the most efficient way of pulling
carbon out of the atmosphere and getting it back into
the soil to help and treat and to better the
soil itself. If you're just tuning in, I'm doctor Jack
Stockwell had forbidden doctor dot com, and I'm just kind
(06:09):
of rehearsing a conversation I had with a young lady
in my clinic the other day whose friends are trying
to push her towards vegetarianism.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
And she had she had a little list she had.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
She knew that she's going to be talking to me,
so she had written down some questions, and one was
that beef production requires twenty five hundred gallons of water
per pound.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Of beef that's produced.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
And I said, yeah, that's a figure that's widely quoted
by vegetarians without any real supporting evidence. I said, the
beef industry estimates that about a pound of beef requires
four hundred and thirty five gallons of water, mostly for
the grain production. They went in to feed the animal.
(06:56):
The pasture raised beef requires only the water that the
animal drinks through the stock wells that are out there
covering the ground, or a stream or river that's running
through the middle of the grazing property, which is which
only works out to about thirty gallons of water per
pound of beef, about the amount of water that you
(07:21):
would use in a normal shower. So by contrast, I said,
it takes five hundred gallons of water to grow enough
wheat to make one pound of bread. Of course, she
had never heard of that before. She said, vegetarians are
not involved. It's the killing of animals. It was one
(07:42):
of the major things. And I understand that, and I
appreciate that that kind of sensitivity, that kind of humanity
towards animals. I said about three hundred. I said, when
you think of vegetarianism, and let's use cows as an example,
if you stop killing the cows, you stopped killing animals
(08:04):
for you to eat. And she says, yeah, that's right,
And I said, well, I want you to consider something else.
About three hundred animals per acre are killed for the
production of grain, often in very gruesome ways, as the
farming equipment is drug over the land, chopping up those
(08:25):
animals that live in.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
The dirt, the gophers, the squirrels.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
The wood all the little kinds of animals that live
out there that live off of that grain, that get
chopped to pieces or smashed or squashed by the farming
equipment that runs over top of them. Some of the
best estimates are three hundred animals per acre are killed.
That way, only one animal is killed for the production
(08:54):
of the beef. And so people who fly, who drive,
who play string instruments, people who talk on the phone,
take part in a lot of other ordinary activities rely
on animal products. A lot of your clothing is based
on animal products to some degree, if there's a hint of.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Leather in there anywhere.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
So she said, she says, well, what about the China study,
because the China study found that people who ate more
plant foods were healthier. What said in that book and
I read it, the China study does not match the finding.
So the actual China Cornell Oxford study in which there
was no correlation with more or less disease than people
(09:39):
who eat a lot of plant foods. So when people
come out and say there's the China study, that they
don't quote the other study It was done around the
same time out of Oxford in England, she says, And
I said to her, I said, there's certain vitamins that
you can only get from an animal. Vitamin A and
(09:59):
D are only found in the animal. They're not found
in nature. Vitamin B twelve, that you need for the
maturation of red blood cells, is only found in animal sources.
Many vegans will concede that avoiding animal foods, they should
be very careful, play it safe and take a B
twelve supplement. Well, there's some smartness there, but our needs,
(10:23):
she said. She spends a lot of time in the sun.
She set her need for vitamin D. She doesn't need
to get it from animals. She can get it from
the sun. And I said, well, yeah, that's true, but
only in light of the fact that sufficient vitamin D
from sunlight occurs at midday during the summer months if
(10:44):
you're living half naked in the tropics. The traditional cultures
obtained this essential nutrient year round by eating vitamin D
rich foods such as raw dairy cheeses, these kinds of things.
She said, well, vitamin A. And she said, well, you
can get vitamin A entirely from plant foods, and I said,
(11:04):
your body will convert.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
There's no vitamin A in a plant food, but the
kerotenes that are in plant foods, your body can convert
that into true vitamin A, but very poorly, because most
people can't do this sufficiently because their gut is not
healthy enough to do it, and some can't do it
at all. She said, well, vegetarians live longer. I said,
(11:31):
some do, but some don't. The health conscious vegetarians who
eat pastured dairy and eggs may very well live longer
than the omnivores who are out there eating processed, packaged
fast foods. We're going to go to a break here
in a few moments. I want to get into more
of that vegetarianism in cancer, vegetarianism and heart disease, vegetarianism
(11:54):
in and osteoporosis, some of these other subjects that she
brought up because she came prepared to discuss, and I
was very concerned that she could get the best answers
as I understand them, to help her make up her mind.
I'm doctor Jack Stockwell that forbiddendoctor dot com.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
I will be right back after the break.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I'm doctor Jack Stockwell at forbidden doctor dot com. What
I do to restore a structural balance to the human body,
to level the shoulders, to level the hips, to free
up the joints, and to make sure that all the
cells of the human body are getting the full nerve
energy from the brain that they require. So I've besides
the nutrition end of it, we do this as well.
(12:38):
So I was talking, as I said to this young lady,
very concerned about the negative obstruction she's getting from her
parents because she wants to go vegetarian, and so she
wants her parents to provide vegetarian based foods. When it's
a mediating family, Well, they love their daughter and they
(13:02):
want to provide for her and take care of her.
But they wanted her to come in and have a
chat with me before she makes up her mind. And
so I've gone through several of the standard myths and
the truths about vegetarianism. And I was talking about the
idea that vegetarians live longer, and I said, well, some
(13:23):
vegetarians do live longer, some don't live longer. Because if
you're a very you can be a vegetarian, but you
have got to be a student of human nutrition and
it's not easy because of the foods that you have
to get outside of eating meat to make sure you're
(13:47):
getting the nutrition that is only found in animal foods,
like vitamins A and D, and there's more than that.
But I said to her, if you are a very dutious,
very science oriented vegetarian, you probably will live longer than
the meat eater who eats all this commercial animal stuff
(14:10):
that I do not recommend whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
She said that.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
She says that vegetarianism will protect against cancer. Well, the
science on that is very inconsistent and it's contradictory at best.
That the vegetarians are particularly prone to cancers of the
nervous system and the reproductive organs. Why because soy, which
(14:37):
is a staple in many vegetarian diets, can cause, can
contribute to can accelerate the growth of some cancers, especially
breast cancer, because of the strong dose of estrogen that
is in soy protein. She says, well, eating meat causes
(14:58):
heart disease, and I said, vegetarians have as much atherosclerosis
as meat eaters, and they have higher levels of homo
systein that tends towards atherosclerosis, the plugging up of blood vessels.
I said, heart disease is associated with the consumption of transfats,
(15:20):
refined vegetable oils, the seed oils that I'm always talking about,
and sugar, all of which comes from plants. And in
order to have a diet as a vegetarian that is
not so boring, you have no more food of fun
eating food anymore. You're going to be eating foods that
(15:43):
have a lot of sugar in them, and that is
definitely damaging to the heart. She says, well, meat eating
is supposed to prevent osteoporosis. I mean meat eating causes osteoporosis.
And I said, eaters don't have any more osteoporosis than
vegetarians because the nutrients that are required for healthy bones,
(16:07):
like vitamin D and collagen and calcium are either better
absorbed or they're exclusively found in animal foods. At this point,
she started to feel a little cornered, and I want
to back off, but I wanted to get some points across,
and I will get to several more points after the
break that's coming up here in just a few seconds.
(16:28):
I'm doctor Jack Stockwell at forbiddendoctor dot com.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
I will be right back after the break.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I'm Doug Stephan and she's not. She could be Elizabeth Miller. However,
as a matter of fact, she is. Elizabeth Miller is
one of the great reasons for going to toploss dot
com and engaging in the work of calitrin getting that
weight off the natural way.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Elizabeth Miller from the folks at cald frind Thanks Elizabeth,
Doug Steffan here, Good Day Health is on the air.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I'm doctor jackstock Will at Forbidden doctor dot com. And
if you will type in vegan or vegetarianism, I have
a much longer presentation on the subject than I have
time here to do today, on the dangers of the
vegan and vegetarian diets. So she says, She says, when
(17:56):
you look at our teeth, we're not really designed for
meat consumption. And I said, wait a second. You see
those little pointy canines you got there. Humans are equipped
with a mixed feeders teeth and digestive system.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
What do I mean by that?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Because you have teeth designed to rip and you have
teeth designed to crush. We're omnivores. We're not designed to
beat exclusively meat eaters. We're designed to eat a variety
of foods. The crushing of nuts and smashing of beans
as well as the tearing of meat. I said, the
intestinal track of a human being is an awful lot
(18:42):
more like a dog than it is a sheep. And
animals that live on plant foods do not manufacture hydrochloric acid,
and they have anywhere from two to four stomachs and
a much longer intestinal track than humans do.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
And so when she was.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Talking about how grain can build a cow to a
really strong animal, and how just eating little plants and
shoots in the jungle will allow gorillas to be as
strong as they can as they get in their life,
and I said, sweetie, they don't have the same digestive
system that we have. Yes, they're mammals. A cow has
(19:23):
four stomachs, and in each of these stomachs is a
different breed of bacteria that breaks down what they chew
and chew and chew. Somebody at some state college somewhere
actually counted the number of times a cow will chew.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
A mouthful of alfalfa two.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Hundred times, and then it will swallow it in this
green soupy mix that has just churned up with all
of those rear molars designed to grind up plants, and
then it goes into a stomach, and in the stomach
is bacteria that starts breaking down that food even further.
(20:04):
Because the cow doesn't live off of the alfalfa or
the grass that it's eating, it lives off the byproducts
of what The bacteria in those four stomachs further break
down what has been chewed into fatty acids they get
into the bloodstream and nourish that cow because it's got
(20:25):
a digestive system to do that. A horse only has
one stomach, but it's immense. It's the largest organ in
the animal, and it's designed to do the same thing
with just one stomach. That's why they're eating all the time,
it seems. Now they fill their belly, and then what
do they do. They cough, They kind of vomit up
(20:48):
one of the stomachs into their mouth and chew their cud.
They further chew what they already chewed and swallowed. Now
they cough it back up and they continue the chewing
to get that product as small as possible for the
bacteria to take care of it. I said, your digestive
system isn't.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Like that at all.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
You have this bag that the food falls into that's
full of acid. There's no acid in a cow's stomach,
and there's very little acid in a gorilla stomach. And
gorillas are designed to eat primarily plants, and when plants
are available, that's what they eat. Occasionally, they do eat
meat only when there's other problems of food source. But
(21:32):
in a gorilla, its intestinal system is different. Than a
human and in the large intestine. The first section of
the large intestine of a mammal, human or gorilla is
called the secum. And in a gorilla, the secum is
immense compared to the scum in a human being. And
(21:53):
the secum is where the same thing that happens in
the stomach of a cow takes place in the secum
of a gorilla, loaded with bacteria that further breaks down
what it has been chewing all day long. Sitting there
on the mountain side, and so at this point, you know,
her eyes are starting to bug out of her head,
(22:15):
And I said, you also have a very powerful digestive
enzyme in your stomach wall called pepsin. Pepsin is released
only when the acid strength of what you're eating in
your stomach gets down to two point zero or lower.
At that point, pepsin is released. And pepsin only has
(22:40):
one job to dissolve the collagen that holds meat protein together.
Collagen is only found in meat. You don't find it
anywhere else. And so nature gave you in your stomach
a special enzyme to break down this collagen. If we're
(23:03):
not designed to eat meat, what in the world is
that doing in our stomach because all it does is
break down meat.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
And then she said.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Well, doesn't it putrefy in the gut? Doesn't meat just
go really bad and line the walls of the gut
and blocks up everything. And I said, the human digestive
system is perfectly designed to digest meat, starting with a stomach,
as I said, that produces hydrochloric acid and pepsin for
(23:35):
digesting meat proteins. Then you have these enzymes that are
released by the pancreas at the beginning of the small
intestine that further breaks down proteins into peptides which the
body will absorb through the gut wall. Tripsen and chymotrypsin,
two very important enzymes that are designed to rip proteins
(23:57):
to pieces animal proteins. And then we talk some more
about this. She says, she says meat eaters have a
history of being very violent, aggressive people, And I said,
I've heard that, and I've looked for some kind of
(24:17):
science that would support that claim. I cannot find it. Now,
we do know that vegetarian diets lower cholesterol, and we
also know that low cholesterol is associated with violent and
anti social behavior in humans and in monkeys and in dogs.
(24:37):
And there was a study done, I don't know it
was a decade or maybe two decades ago of prisoners,
lifers in prison for violent crimes almost to the man
and woman had very low levels of cholesterol in their
bloodstream because your brain simply will not work without cholesterol.
(24:58):
Every cell in the human body requires cholesterol. And so
the idea that vegetarianism lowers cholesterol, yeah, it will, but
at what price? And then I said, one of the
worst things about vegetarianism is.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
To give it to children.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
And she says, well, you know, children are supposed to
grow well on a vegetarian diet because it's you know,
especially if it's rich in pastured cows and eggs from
pastured chickens. I said, yes, that's correct. I agree with
you on that one. Children that are brought up on
a vegan diet have very poor bone health and reduced
(25:37):
mental capacity compared to children brought up on diets containing
animal foods. Because after more than three decades of being
in practice and taking care of whole families, families that
eat from the earth, that eat Mother Nature's foods, produce
children raise children completely different then families that are raising
(26:02):
children on some new fad. Just recently had not a
patient but a nephew that was raised vegetarian. No excuse me,
raised vegan. And I talked to my nephew and I said,
oh my gosh, man, what are you doing? And his
(26:26):
comments to me were, well, uncle Jack, you're a chiropractor
and our family pediatricians a vegan, and he's pretty well
convinced us that that's what we should do. So my
nephew's son, on a trampoline, bouncing around about sixteen seventeen
(26:46):
years old, snapped his leg in half. The leg from
the knee down in the middle, from the knee of
the ankle snapped right in half.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
I saw a picture of it.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
It look was laying there like a right angle as
the ambulance was coming. Sixteen year old boys are not
supposed to have their legs snap in half. It wasn't
too long after that that they went back to a
more traditional diet, but the damage had already been done
by this time. And then she says, well, what about
(27:18):
you know, all the toxins and pesticides and herbicides. I said,
I agree with you, sweetie, I agree with you one
hundred percent on that one I said. The meat I
eat comes from grass pastured animals that are allowed to
out all day long out there in the pasture, eating grass,
eating flowers, eating herbs. They have no shots, they have
(27:38):
no antibiotics, they have no pesticides, they have no hormones.
That's the only meat that safe. This commercial stuff, You're right,
it is loaded with all this stuff, and it's important
to choose an animal as well as plant foods that
have been raised without toxic chemicals, and the nutrients that
we get from animal foods such as vim an.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
A B twelve.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
The minerals sulfur zinc are very important aids for the
body to detoxify itself, to clean itself from all the
other kinds of poisons, because we're still getting toxic even
if we're eating the cleanest food that we possibly can.
The stuff that's floating around in the atmosphere from foreign
(28:24):
countries on the other side of the planet, they get
up there in the jet stream and come over and
rain down on us. Even on organic farm yards. There's
still certain measures that we need to take to promote
detoxification inside the system, and sulfur and zinc are two
very important minerals when it comes to the body's detoxification
(28:47):
system through the liver, so I said to him, I said,
the biggest danger of vegan and vegetarian diets is nutritional
deficiencies because certain nutrients that only occur in animal foods,
and these nutrients, I said, are very important for you.
You haven't finished developing yet. Your bones are still growing,
(29:12):
your skin is still growing, your internal organs are still growing.
And so there are certain nutrients we only get from
an animal, like vitamin A, which is absolutely critical for
healthy eyes and skin and bones, and for hormones and
for immune system.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
I said.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Vitamin A plays a very important role in the formation
of the fetus and the prevention of birth defects, and
healthy populations consume Oh, I think it's somewhere in the
range of anywhere from twenty to thirty thousand international units
of vitamin A a day, and the best sources are cod liver,
(29:53):
oil and liver and butter and egg yolks from grass
fed animals. Thought she was getting vitamin A from carrots. No,
there's no vitamin A in a carrot. There's no vitamin
a outside of animal foods now in a carrot. There
is carotenes. There's some sixty different kerotenes. Beta carotene is
(30:16):
the one they're always talking about all the time that
can be converted to vitamin A, real vitamin A in
the body, but it takes place in the gut. But
it only happens in the healthiest of guts, and a
lot of people simply do not have the strength in
their digestive system for that conversion to take place. I
hope this has helped again my podcast The Dangers of
(30:39):
Vegan and Vegetarian Diets that Forbidden Doctor dot com under education.
I'm going to be joining Doug here in a few
minutes and to round out the rest of the program.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
I hope this has been helpful.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
A lot more information about this at forbiddendoctor dot com
and a lot of the podcasts at Good Day healthshow
dot com. Stick around for when I joined Doug here
in just a few moments. I'm doctor Jack Stockwell at
Forbidden Doctor dot com.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
We'll see in a moment.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Doug Stefan here with Good Day Health. Doctor Jack Stockwell
is on the air, and I'm proud to call my
friend and also someone that I consult with when it
comes to the sort of thing that we all want
to know what's going on in my body and how
do I fix it if it needs fixing? And that
has I guess the focus. Now I want to spend
a few minutes with you Jack on on moving one's memory.
(31:33):
What the best way is to boost your memory. So
many people of all ages now, especially when you get
over a fifty or concerned about what might happen to
their memory, to their mind, to their brain. And I
saw something that intrigued me because it wasn't about drugs
and it wasn't about anything. It was something, well, it
(31:54):
was about something, but it wasn't about anything traditional. The
focus was on aroma therapy, which suggests that that using
you know, the sort of sense that we like that
helps cognition and our brain and our mood and all sorts.
And I think I understand how the good smells help
(32:18):
our help our mood. But to know that they that
they there was a test on at the University of
California that suggested they had placebos, and then they used
various oils and scents and things and found that peppermint
oil and lavender and rose and rosemary and lemon were good.
(32:39):
So what do you think about how we keep our
memories and our brains as healthy as possible.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
You know, it's interesting that your first cranial nerve is
your olfactory nerve, the smelling nerve, and it's the only
one that goes directly to the brain without being filtered first.
In other words, there's this gland called the thalamus. It
(33:07):
sits underneath the brain. It's kind of like, kind of
like the fellow in a large train yard, regulating what
trains move when and where and what's important and what
needs to wait as it tries to sift through what
the brain really needs to know. And by the brain,
I mean the higher brain, our reasoning part. What does
it really need to know? What doesn't it need to know?
What can it wait for? But smell goes directly into
(33:32):
the brain tissue. In fact, in fact, the old factory
nerve is an extension of brain tissue, and it's sticking
out there in the very back upper area of your sinuses.
And because and the evolutionists and other kinds of people
will tell us it had an awful lot to do
(33:52):
with survival. In the early days of mankind's development, we
would be particularly tuned to smells those that sensing part
of the brain is still there. You know, even though
we wake up in the morning to breakfast smells or
coffee smell or whatever else gets up in the morning
(34:13):
and those smells direct us during the day, smells will
trigger digestive processes because you know you're going to eat,
and you smell something half an hour earlier, your digestive
system is already moving. But there's also healing aspects. Receptors
are triggered by our smells, and we know that if
(34:35):
we are in an area that has toxic fumes and
toxic smells, our autonomic balance gets a little out of
balance and we have high levels of stress. High levels
of cortisone that suppresses the immune system. But when we're
in an area that has lovely smells, the kind of
(34:55):
smells we want to be around, not necessarily strong, but
the kind of smells you were mentioning their lavender, peppermint.
Some of these other kinds of things actually trigger a
certain synthesis in the body of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that's
necessary for muscle contraction, but it also triggers other kinds
(35:17):
of immune factors. So we've known for a long time
now that aromatherapy, if it's done correctly with the right
kind of material, definitely can be very healing and invigorating
for the human body.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Well, that's good to know, actually makes it. I think
you find people get worried to have to take this
drugg or that drug, and we've become so dependent on
drugs and we forget sometimes that they're like you who
have the alternative. And that's why you're here. We don't
need no stinking big pharma. Hi, doctor Jack. His time

Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'm doctor Jack Stockwell at Forbidden doctor dot com and I,
as I usually do as a participant in the Doug
Stefan Good Day Health Show series, try to answer questions
as best I can that either are emailed to my
office from the listening audience that would be Jack Stockwell
(00:32):
Office at gmail dot com or my patients. And most
of the questions, of course are from my patients because
that's what I'm obviously I'm exposed to the most, and
what we've gone through. We've gone through a lot of
you know, food choices and what to eat and.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
What not to eat, and sugar and.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
The overly processing of foods and oils and things. I've
been talking about one question I was asked about, just
a sincere an asking of a question by a fourteen
year old young lady the other day in my clinic
that is being pressured by her peer group to go
(01:18):
vegetarian and even worse, to go vegan, and she I've
been taking care of her since she was six or
seven years old, following a little injury that took place
on a trampoline. And so I see her maybe once
twice at the most three times a year because something's happened.
(01:41):
But now that she's getting this pressure and her parents,
of course are not happy about it, but they you know,
they want to kind of give her some space to
discover the life that she wants to live. At the
same time, they know that that's not her best option,
even though she may think it is. So I wanted
(02:02):
to address that. I wanted to address some concepts of vegetarianism,
especially some myths, some truths and some myths about it.
Because we had this, I ended up talking to her.
I made some other patients upset with me because they
they had arrived in the clinical on time and I
was running almost a half an hour behind. Because it
was very important to me to make sure that she
(02:26):
understood from my point of view, which is what she
was why she was asking me how I felt about this,
and so I just let her start talking about, you know,
where where's this coming from? What kind of questions do
you have? What are your friends telling you? And there
you know, the standard, the standard kind of questions, and
like all all the hungry, all the hungry on our
(02:49):
planet could be fed if the grazing land for cattle
were cultivated for crops. And I said, well, that's an
easy one to believe, but it's also an easy one
to understand the truth, because only about eleven percent, eleven
percent of the land on this earth can be farmed,
(03:12):
and a percentage that cannot be increased without deforestation, without
irreg massive irrigation, without massive use of chemical fertilizers, and
the other kinds of things that just simply destroy the
ecological balance. She hadn't heard that, she said, in conjunction
(03:34):
with that, the idea that eating meat contributes to famine,
it depletes the earth's natural resources. And I said, when
it's properly carried out through managed grazing, animal husbandry actually
builds the soil, It builds soil fertility, and it restores
(03:56):
the deficiencies back into the soil that grain production destroys,
because with grain production, they're not rotating the crops, they're
not covering, they're not arresting the land. They spray that
ground with the heavy chemical fertilizers before the planting, during
(04:19):
the growing prior to harvest that continues to destroy the soil.
But when you have a situation where animal husbandry is
being done correctly, it rebuilds the soil. She said that livestock,
not just cattle, but livestock in general. What she had
(04:40):
heard was that the major source of greenhouse gas emissions,
and I said, yeah, that's another one that's floating around
out there. I said, only a very small percentage. Actually,
a very small percentage of atmospheric methane comes from the
back end of a cow. So the largest source, I
said to her, is the burning fossil fuels for electricity
(05:01):
and heat and transportation. Do you drive a car, No,
she's not old enough to drive a car yet. Do
you have a cell phone? Yeah, where's the electricity coming
from for that cell phone. It's coming from a power
plant that's using fossil fuels that is blowing all that
stuff up into the atmosphere, far more than cows can
possibly do. And a surprising source of these greenhouse emissions
(05:26):
are the wetlands and as certain areas of the Russian
Siberian tundra are getting warmer, more and more, the ground
is thawing below the permafrost, and massive amounts of methane
is coming up out of these formerly frozen swamp plant.
(05:48):
She'd never heard of that, So I said, raising animals
on pasture is really the most efficient way of pulling
carbon out of the atmosphere and getting it back into
the soil to help and treat and to better the
soil itself. If you're just tuning in, I'm doctor Jack
Stockwell had forbidden doctor dot com, and I'm just kind
(06:09):
of rehearsing a conversation I had with a young lady
in my clinic the other day whose friends are trying
to push her towards vegetarianism.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
And she had she had a little list she had.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
She knew that she's going to be talking to me,
so she had written down some questions, and one was
that beef production requires twenty five hundred gallons of water
per pound.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Of beef that's produced.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
And I said, yeah, that's a figure that's widely quoted
by vegetarians without any real supporting evidence. I said, the
beef industry estimates that about a pound of beef requires
four hundred and thirty five gallons of water, mostly for
the grain production. They went in to feed the animal.
(06:56):
The pasture raised beef requires only the water that the
animal drinks through the stock wells that are out there
covering the ground, or a stream or river that's running
through the middle of the grazing property, which is which
only works out to about thirty gallons of water per
pound of beef, about the amount of water that you
(07:21):
would use in a normal shower. So by contrast, I said,
it takes five hundred gallons of water to grow enough
wheat to make one pound of bread. Of course, she
had never heard of that before. She said, vegetarians are
not involved. It's the killing of animals. It was one
(07:42):
of the major things. And I understand that, and I
appreciate that that kind of sensitivity, that kind of humanity
towards animals. I said about three hundred. I said, when
you think of vegetarianism, and let's use cows as an example,
if you stop killing the cows, you stopped killing animals
(08:04):
for you to eat. And she says, yeah, that's right,
And I said, well, I want you to consider something else.
About three hundred animals per acre are killed for the
production of grain, often in very gruesome ways, as the
farming equipment is drug over the land, chopping up those
(08:25):
animals that live in.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
The dirt, the gophers, the squirrels.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
The wood all the little kinds of animals that live
out there that live off of that grain, that get
chopped to pieces or smashed or squashed by the farming
equipment that runs over top of them. Some of the
best estimates are three hundred animals per acre are killed.
That way, only one animal is killed for the production
(08:54):
of the beef. And so people who fly, who drive,
who play string instruments, people who talk on the phone,
take part in a lot of other ordinary activities rely
on animal products. A lot of your clothing is based
on animal products to some degree, if there's a hint of.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Leather in there anywhere.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
So she said, she says, well, what about the China study,
because the China study found that people who ate more
plant foods were healthier. What said in that book and
I read it, the China study does not match the finding.
So the actual China Cornell Oxford study in which there
was no correlation with more or less disease than people
(09:39):
who eat a lot of plant foods. So when people
come out and say there's the China study, that they
don't quote the other study It was done around the
same time out of Oxford in England, she says, And
I said to her, I said, there's certain vitamins that
you can only get from an animal. Vitamin A and
(09:59):
D are only found in the animal. They're not found
in nature. Vitamin B twelve, that you need for the
maturation of red blood cells, is only found in animal sources.
Many vegans will concede that avoiding animal foods, they should
be very careful, play it safe and take a B
twelve supplement. Well, there's some smartness there, but our needs,
(10:23):
she said. She spends a lot of time in the sun.
She set her need for vitamin D. She doesn't need
to get it from animals. She can get it from
the sun. And I said, well, yeah, that's true, but
only in light of the fact that sufficient vitamin D
from sunlight occurs at midday during the summer months if
(10:44):
you're living half naked in the tropics. The traditional cultures
obtained this essential nutrient year round by eating vitamin D
rich foods such as raw dairy cheeses, these kinds of things.
She said, well, vitamin A. And she said, well, you
can get vitamin A entirely from plant foods, and I said,
(11:04):
your body will convert.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
There's no vitamin A in a plant food, but the
kerotenes that are in plant foods, your body can convert
that into true vitamin A, but very poorly, because most
people can't do this sufficiently because their gut is not
healthy enough to do it, and some can't do it
at all. She said, well, vegetarians live longer. I said,
(11:31):
some do, but some don't. The health conscious vegetarians who
eat pastured dairy and eggs may very well live longer
than the omnivores who are out there eating processed, packaged
fast foods. We're going to go to a break here
in a few moments. I want to get into more
of that vegetarianism in cancer, vegetarianism and heart disease, vegetarianism
(11:54):
in and osteoporosis, some of these other subjects that she
brought up because she came prepared to discuss, and I
was very concerned that she could get the best answers
as I understand them, to help her make up her mind.
I'm doctor Jack Stockwell that forbiddendoctor dot com.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
I will be right back after the break.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I'm doctor Jack Stockwell at forbidden doctor dot com. What
I do to restore a structural balance to the human body,
to level the shoulders, to level the hips, to free
up the joints, and to make sure that all the
cells of the human body are getting the full nerve
energy from the brain that they require. So I've besides
the nutrition end of it, we do this as well.
(12:38):
So I was talking, as I said to this young lady,
very concerned about the negative obstruction she's getting from her
parents because she wants to go vegetarian, and so she
wants her parents to provide vegetarian based foods. When it's
a mediating family, Well, they love their daughter and they
(13:02):
want to provide for her and take care of her.
But they wanted her to come in and have a
chat with me before she makes up her mind. And
so I've gone through several of the standard myths and
the truths about vegetarianism. And I was talking about the
idea that vegetarians live longer, and I said, well, some
(13:23):
vegetarians do live longer, some don't live longer. Because if
you're a very you can be a vegetarian, but you
have got to be a student of human nutrition and
it's not easy because of the foods that you have
to get outside of eating meat to make sure you're
(13:47):
getting the nutrition that is only found in animal foods,
like vitamins A and D, and there's more than that.
But I said to her, if you are a very dutious,
very science oriented vegetarian, you probably will live longer than
the meat eater who eats all this commercial animal stuff
(14:10):
that I do not recommend whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
She said that.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
She says that vegetarianism will protect against cancer. Well, the
science on that is very inconsistent and it's contradictory at best.
That the vegetarians are particularly prone to cancers of the
nervous system and the reproductive organs. Why because soy, which
(14:37):
is a staple in many vegetarian diets, can cause, can
contribute to can accelerate the growth of some cancers, especially
breast cancer, because of the strong dose of estrogen that
is in soy protein. She says, well, eating meat causes
(14:58):
heart disease, and I said, vegetarians have as much atherosclerosis
as meat eaters, and they have higher levels of homo
systein that tends towards atherosclerosis, the plugging up of blood vessels.
I said, heart disease is associated with the consumption of transfats,
(15:20):
refined vegetable oils, the seed oils that I'm always talking about,
and sugar, all of which comes from plants. And in
order to have a diet as a vegetarian that is
not so boring, you have no more food of fun
eating food anymore. You're going to be eating foods that
(15:43):
have a lot of sugar in them, and that is
definitely damaging to the heart. She says, well, meat eating
is supposed to prevent osteoporosis. I mean meat eating causes osteoporosis.
And I said, eaters don't have any more osteoporosis than
vegetarians because the nutrients that are required for healthy bones,
(16:07):
like vitamin D and collagen and calcium are either better
absorbed or they're exclusively found in animal foods. At this point,
she started to feel a little cornered, and I want
to back off, but I wanted to get some points across,
and I will get to several more points after the
break that's coming up here in just a few seconds.
(16:28):
I'm doctor Jack Stockwell at forbiddendoctor dot com.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
I will be right back after the break.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I'm Doug Stephan and she's not. She could be Elizabeth Miller. However,
as a matter of fact, she is. Elizabeth Miller is
one of the great reasons for going to toploss dot
com and engaging in the work of calitrin getting that
weight off the natural way.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Caldron is different than everything else out there because it's
really good for you. It's actually drug free, stimulant free,
so it's good for you. We've been helping customers since

the United States lose weight. So if you go to
toploss dot com, you'll see the counter and sell right there.
(17:10):
But we do also, like Dougs, had put together custom packages.
Usually they're available by email or our Facebook page or

And then of course Doug has a promo code. If
you use the promo code Doug, that's going to save
you onn shipping on all orders.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Elizabeth Miller from the folks at cald frind Thanks Elizabeth,
Doug Steffan here, Good Day Health is on the air.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I'm doctor jackstock Will at Forbidden doctor dot com. And
if you will type in vegan or vegetarianism, I have
a much longer presentation on the subject than I have
time here to do today, on the dangers of the
vegan and vegetarian diets. So she says, She says, when
(17:56):
you look at our teeth, we're not really designed for
meat consumption. And I said, wait a second. You see
those little pointy canines you got there. Humans are equipped
with a mixed feeders teeth and digestive system.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
What do I mean by that?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Because you have teeth designed to rip and you have
teeth designed to crush. We're omnivores. We're not designed to
beat exclusively meat eaters. We're designed to eat a variety
of foods. The crushing of nuts and smashing of beans
as well as the tearing of meat. I said, the
intestinal track of a human being is an awful lot
(18:42):
more like a dog than it is a sheep. And
animals that live on plant foods do not manufacture hydrochloric acid,
and they have anywhere from two to four stomachs and
a much longer intestinal track than humans do.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
And so when she was.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Talking about how grain can build a cow to a
really strong animal, and how just eating little plants and
shoots in the jungle will allow gorillas to be as
strong as they can as they get in their life,
and I said, sweetie, they don't have the same digestive
system that we have. Yes, they're mammals. A cow has
(19:23):
four stomachs, and in each of these stomachs is a
different breed of bacteria that breaks down what they chew
and chew and chew. Somebody at some state college somewhere
actually counted the number of times a cow will chew.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
A mouthful of alfalfa two.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Hundred times, and then it will swallow it in this
green soupy mix that has just churned up with all
of those rear molars designed to grind up plants, and
then it goes into a stomach, and in the stomach
is bacteria that starts breaking down that food even further.
(20:04):
Because the cow doesn't live off of the alfalfa or
the grass that it's eating, it lives off the byproducts
of what The bacteria in those four stomachs further break
down what has been chewed into fatty acids they get
into the bloodstream and nourish that cow because it's got
(20:25):
a digestive system to do that. A horse only has
one stomach, but it's immense. It's the largest organ in
the animal, and it's designed to do the same thing
with just one stomach. That's why they're eating all the time,
it seems. Now they fill their belly, and then what
do they do. They cough, They kind of vomit up
(20:48):
one of the stomachs into their mouth and chew their cud.
They further chew what they already chewed and swallowed. Now
they cough it back up and they continue the chewing
to get that product as small as possible for the
bacteria to take care of it. I said, your digestive
system isn't.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Like that at all.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
You have this bag that the food falls into that's
full of acid. There's no acid in a cow's stomach,
and there's very little acid in a gorilla stomach. And
gorillas are designed to eat primarily plants, and when plants
are available, that's what they eat. Occasionally, they do eat
meat only when there's other problems of food source. But
(21:32):
in a gorilla, its intestinal system is different. Than a
human and in the large intestine. The first section of
the large intestine of a mammal, human or gorilla is
called the secum. And in a gorilla, the secum is
immense compared to the scum in a human being. And
(21:53):
the secum is where the same thing that happens in
the stomach of a cow takes place in the secum
of a gorilla, loaded with bacteria that further breaks down
what it has been chewing all day long. Sitting there
on the mountain side, and so at this point, you know,
her eyes are starting to bug out of her head,
(22:15):
And I said, you also have a very powerful digestive
enzyme in your stomach wall called pepsin. Pepsin is released
only when the acid strength of what you're eating in
your stomach gets down to two point zero or lower.
At that point, pepsin is released. And pepsin only has
(22:40):
one job to dissolve the collagen that holds meat protein together.
Collagen is only found in meat. You don't find it
anywhere else. And so nature gave you in your stomach
a special enzyme to break down this collagen. If we're
(23:03):
not designed to eat meat, what in the world is
that doing in our stomach because all it does is
break down meat.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
And then she said.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Well, doesn't it putrefy in the gut? Doesn't meat just
go really bad and line the walls of the gut
and blocks up everything. And I said, the human digestive
system is perfectly designed to digest meat, starting with a stomach,
as I said, that produces hydrochloric acid and pepsin for
(23:35):
digesting meat proteins. Then you have these enzymes that are
released by the pancreas at the beginning of the small
intestine that further breaks down proteins into peptides which the
body will absorb through the gut wall. Tripsen and chymotrypsin,
two very important enzymes that are designed to rip proteins
(23:57):
to pieces animal proteins. And then we talk some more
about this. She says, she says meat eaters have a
history of being very violent, aggressive people, And I said,
I've heard that, and I've looked for some kind of
(24:17):
science that would support that claim. I cannot find it. Now,
we do know that vegetarian diets lower cholesterol, and we
also know that low cholesterol is associated with violent and
anti social behavior in humans and in monkeys and in dogs.
(24:37):
And there was a study done, I don't know it
was a decade or maybe two decades ago of prisoners,
lifers in prison for violent crimes almost to the man
and woman had very low levels of cholesterol in their
bloodstream because your brain simply will not work without cholesterol.
(24:58):
Every cell in the human body requires cholesterol. And so
the idea that vegetarianism lowers cholesterol, yeah, it will, but
at what price? And then I said, one of the
worst things about vegetarianism is.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
To give it to children.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
And she says, well, you know, children are supposed to
grow well on a vegetarian diet because it's you know,
especially if it's rich in pastured cows and eggs from
pastured chickens. I said, yes, that's correct. I agree with
you on that one. Children that are brought up on
a vegan diet have very poor bone health and reduced
(25:37):
mental capacity compared to children brought up on diets containing
animal foods. Because after more than three decades of being
in practice and taking care of whole families, families that
eat from the earth, that eat Mother Nature's foods, produce
children raise children completely different then families that are raising
(26:02):
children on some new fad. Just recently had not a
patient but a nephew that was raised vegetarian. No excuse me,
raised vegan. And I talked to my nephew and I said,
oh my gosh, man, what are you doing? And his
(26:26):
comments to me were, well, uncle Jack, you're a chiropractor
and our family pediatricians a vegan, and he's pretty well
convinced us that that's what we should do. So my
nephew's son, on a trampoline, bouncing around about sixteen seventeen
(26:46):
years old, snapped his leg in half. The leg from
the knee down in the middle, from the knee of
the ankle snapped right in half.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
I saw a picture of it.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
It look was laying there like a right angle as
the ambulance was coming. Sixteen year old boys are not
supposed to have their legs snap in half. It wasn't
too long after that that they went back to a
more traditional diet, but the damage had already been done
by this time. And then she says, well, what about
(27:18):
you know, all the toxins and pesticides and herbicides. I said,
I agree with you, sweetie, I agree with you one
hundred percent on that one I said. The meat I
eat comes from grass pastured animals that are allowed to
out all day long out there in the pasture, eating grass,
eating flowers, eating herbs. They have no shots, they have
(27:38):
no antibiotics, they have no pesticides, they have no hormones.
That's the only meat that safe. This commercial stuff, You're right,
it is loaded with all this stuff, and it's important
to choose an animal as well as plant foods that
have been raised without toxic chemicals, and the nutrients that
we get from animal foods such as vim an.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
A B twelve.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
The minerals sulfur zinc are very important aids for the
body to detoxify itself, to clean itself from all the
other kinds of poisons, because we're still getting toxic even
if we're eating the cleanest food that we possibly can.
The stuff that's floating around in the atmosphere from foreign
(28:24):
countries on the other side of the planet, they get
up there in the jet stream and come over and
rain down on us. Even on organic farm yards. There's
still certain measures that we need to take to promote
detoxification inside the system, and sulfur and zinc are two
very important minerals when it comes to the body's detoxification
(28:47):
system through the liver, so I said to him, I said,
the biggest danger of vegan and vegetarian diets is nutritional
deficiencies because certain nutrients that only occur in animal foods,
and these nutrients, I said, are very important for you.
You haven't finished developing yet. Your bones are still growing,
(29:12):
your skin is still growing, your internal organs are still growing.
And so there are certain nutrients we only get from
an animal, like vitamin A, which is absolutely critical for
healthy eyes and skin and bones, and for hormones and
for immune system.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
I said.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Vitamin A plays a very important role in the formation
of the fetus and the prevention of birth defects, and
healthy populations consume Oh, I think it's somewhere in the
range of anywhere from twenty to thirty thousand international units
of vitamin A a day, and the best sources are cod liver,
(29:53):
oil and liver and butter and egg yolks from grass
fed animals. Thought she was getting vitamin A from carrots. No,
there's no vitamin A in a carrot. There's no vitamin
a outside of animal foods now in a carrot. There
is carotenes. There's some sixty different kerotenes. Beta carotene is
(30:16):
the one they're always talking about all the time that
can be converted to vitamin A, real vitamin A in
the body, but it takes place in the gut. But
it only happens in the healthiest of guts, and a
lot of people simply do not have the strength in
their digestive system for that conversion to take place. I
hope this has helped again my podcast The Dangers of
(30:39):
Vegan and Vegetarian Diets that Forbidden Doctor dot com under education.
I'm going to be joining Doug here in a few
minutes and to round out the rest of the program.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
I hope this has been helpful.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
A lot more information about this at forbiddendoctor dot com
and a lot of the podcasts at Good Day healthshow
dot com. Stick around for when I joined Doug here
in just a few moments. I'm doctor Jack Stockwell at
Forbidden Doctor dot com.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
We'll see in a moment.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Doug Stefan here with Good Day Health. Doctor Jack Stockwell
is on the air, and I'm proud to call my
friend and also someone that I consult with when it
comes to the sort of thing that we all want
to know what's going on in my body and how
do I fix it if it needs fixing? And that
has I guess the focus. Now I want to spend
a few minutes with you Jack on on moving one's memory.
(31:33):
What the best way is to boost your memory. So
many people of all ages now, especially when you get
over a fifty or concerned about what might happen to
their memory, to their mind, to their brain. And I
saw something that intrigued me because it wasn't about drugs
and it wasn't about anything. It was something, well, it
(31:54):
was about something, but it wasn't about anything traditional. The
focus was on aroma therapy, which suggests that that using
you know, the sort of sense that we like that
helps cognition and our brain and our mood and all sorts.
And I think I understand how the good smells help
(32:18):
our help our mood. But to know that they that
they there was a test on at the University of
California that suggested they had placebos, and then they used
various oils and scents and things and found that peppermint
oil and lavender and rose and rosemary and lemon were good.
(32:39):
So what do you think about how we keep our
memories and our brains as healthy as possible.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
You know, it's interesting that your first cranial nerve is
your olfactory nerve, the smelling nerve, and it's the only
one that goes directly to the brain without being filtered first.
In other words, there's this gland called the thalamus. It
(33:07):
sits underneath the brain. It's kind of like, kind of
like the fellow in a large train yard, regulating what
trains move when and where and what's important and what
needs to wait as it tries to sift through what
the brain really needs to know. And by the brain,
I mean the higher brain, our reasoning part. What does
it really need to know? What doesn't it need to know?
What can it wait for? But smell goes directly into
(33:32):
the brain tissue. In fact, in fact, the old factory
nerve is an extension of brain tissue, and it's sticking
out there in the very back upper area of your sinuses.
And because and the evolutionists and other kinds of people
will tell us it had an awful lot to do
(33:52):
with survival. In the early days of mankind's development, we
would be particularly tuned to smells those that sensing part
of the brain is still there. You know, even though
we wake up in the morning to breakfast smells or
coffee smell or whatever else gets up in the morning
(34:13):
and those smells direct us during the day, smells will
trigger digestive processes because you know you're going to eat,
and you smell something half an hour earlier, your digestive
system is already moving. But there's also healing aspects. Receptors
are triggered by our smells, and we know that if
(34:35):
we are in an area that has toxic fumes and
toxic smells, our autonomic balance gets a little out of
balance and we have high levels of stress. High levels
of cortisone that suppresses the immune system. But when we're
in an area that has lovely smells, the kind of
(34:55):
smells we want to be around, not necessarily strong, but
the kind of smells you were mentioning their lavender, peppermint.
Some of these other kinds of things actually trigger a
certain synthesis in the body of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that's
necessary for muscle contraction, but it also triggers other kinds
(35:17):
of immune factors. So we've known for a long time
now that aromatherapy, if it's done correctly with the right
kind of material, definitely can be very healing and invigorating
for the human body.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Well, that's good to know, actually makes it. I think
you find people get worried to have to take this
drugg or that drug, and we've become so dependent on
drugs and we forget sometimes that they're like you who
have the alternative. And that's why you're here. We don't
need no stinking big pharma. Hi, doctor Jack. His time
