The Good Day Health podcast with doctor Ken Cronhouse, sponsored
in part by Caldron The Safe, proven Way to Lose
weight and keep it off. Hi, Doug Stephan here, I'm
with doctor Ken Cronhouse on Good Day Health.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Listening and learning is a.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Very important thing as well, so I think, and that's
why we have doctor Ken Cronhouse here from Lake Cardiology
down in Mount Duro, Florida, to go through a number
of items that have appeared this week in the various
journals of medicine.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
He'll take his.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Expertise and he'll go through the information that's there and
translate it so that we know what the heck's going
on in the world of medicine, the conventional world of medicine.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
That we cover here on Good Day Health.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Good Day Healthshow dot Com with doctor Ken Good Day
Healthshow dot Com. If you are personal listening to podcasts
and you'd like to hear not only the whole show,
you might not have been able to hear the whole
program on the radio, so you can get it at
good Day Healthshow dot com. Plus there are fifteen or
sixteen hundred hours hours of various weekly programs from doctor Ken,
(01:04):
all kinds of knowledge going back any number of years.
So that's good Day Healthshow dot com. And in order
to reach doctor Ken for an appointment if you'd like
to go to Lake Cardiology down in Florida, very easy.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
To do that.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Three five two seven three five one four double Oh
that's three five two area code seven three five fourteen hundred.
All right, So let us try to find some good news.
Not as much good news this week as there was
last week, but.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Still some like the story of the common.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Cold and what it does against COVID. This sounds like
it would be very intriguing.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Ken.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yes, you ever wonder why.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Children just seem to have less severe COVID than the
rest of US adults. This is some important news that
came out of the National Jewish Health Hospital, which is
in Denver, Colorado.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
DOUG.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Recent colds that are caused by rhinoviruses. That's what caused
the common cold, the rhinovirus. They can provide short term
protection against COVID nineteen.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Doug.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
The immune system of children in particular reacts strongly with
anti viral defenses, which may help explain children's lower rates
of severe COVID nineteen.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Severe COVID nineteen do we have severe COVID nineteen around
this year. A lot of stuff with the scary news
media and social media trying to scare everybody as usual,
and so oh, we've got new cases of COVID nineteen
here and there, and so you see that, you think
we're going to have another epidemic.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
That's nonsense, right.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Well, there seems to be in the last couple of
years two yearly spikes of COVID, one in the summer,
one in the winter, and we're right now in our
summer spike. And fortunately the death rate is not anywhere
where it was a few years ago when COVID hit.
(03:09):
But still those who have chronic illnesses, multiple illnesses, those
who don't handle respiratory infection as well. There's a subgroup,
fortunately it's a small subgroup now, who are at risk
of a severe infection. But for most of us, it's
going to be like the common cold.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
All right, So relax, folks, I guess that's the bottom line. Now,
here's something that concerns me because it seems contrary to
a lot of things that I have been reading lately
in various journals of medicine that I read. And that's
the combination of cancer and meat consumption and what it
may lead to according to this information, Yeah, Doug.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
This may wake a lot of us up. It comes
from McMaster University this week. It's a large study of
nearly six sixteen thousand adults and it found no link
between eating animal protein and a.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Higher risk of death.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Surprisingly, a higher intake of animal protein was actually associated
with lower cancer mortality.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Doug.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
This research it does challenge the long held assumptions about
the link between red meat and cancer, and it supports
the role of animal protein in a balanced diet. My
take from this is, don't go crazy, but just enjoy
enjoy meat and realize that it may not be as
(04:39):
deadly as we originally thought in this very large study,
but just do things in moderation.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
How the heck do you know what to believe?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I know the Jack Stockwell and I on his Good
Day Health Hour have discussed it many times over the years,
and I'm not one. I don't eat meat, but it's
not because because I think it's not good for me,
although I do think it's not good for me.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I have a dairy farm and the.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Cows of my friends, and I don't eat my friends,
so that's something that I've held over the years.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
But I think what I've read over and over again.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
As a matter of fact, I just read something this
week in one of the journals, you know. I read
a lot of stuff to prepare me for you and
for Jack and for other things that just in my
own life. I want to know what's good for me
and what isn't And there is an overwhelming Maybe they
didn't have sixteen thousand people in the study, but an
overwhelming majority of information I'm getting says eat meat sparingly.
(05:39):
And I don't know mcma whoever heard of McMaster university?
And again, not trying to throw cold water off it,
I never heard of McMaster University.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Did you before you read this study?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yeah? Oh yes, oh yes, yeah, And it is it.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
You know, it is an interesting study. One thing is
it's very large, and this is a university in Canada
and a large public research and it's well known, it
has a good reputation. So I guess stay tuned, and
(06:16):
there's going to be a lot of debate about this,
about this study because it's a very large study. Sixteen
thousand people or a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
All right, coming up in a moment a discussion of
an Eli Lilly drug that's good I think for losing weight.
It's a GLP one drug. Well to find out what
the scoop of that is. Losing weight is an often
function of our conversation here on the Good Day Health Program,
and that's because our sponsor is Caltrin. Caltrin is America
(06:45):
is number one way to lose weight and keep it off.
It is simple, it is sweet, doesn't have any well,
it doesn't have any tapes to flavor to it. But
it is non toxic. When I say, that's sweet for
your body. So check it out on their website at
toploss dot com and see how you can have the
same results that so many, hundreds of thousands of people
(07:08):
around this country and around the world have taken and
found that this works.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
They've taken Caldron. It's safe.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
They'll tell you it's stimulant free, and it's clinically proven
for almost thirty years to support healthy weight loss the
natural way. It boosts your metabolism and lean muscle building.
It's so gentle on your stomach and your body you
won't have any side effects, which is what many of
the people who take these weight loss drugs feel that
(07:36):
they'll say that's how they feel. Whether that's true with
everybody or not, but I know this is the safe
way to do it. A lot of people take Caldron
with some of these weight loss drugs to support at
the end of their mission keeping that weight off. So
whichever is your choice, help yourself. This is great we
reason to do it this weekend. At the Caldron website
(07:57):
top looss dot com, you can check out a number
of things like the collagen. There's a story on their
website about the collagen decline with age and why you
want college and support and that's one of the main
ingredients in Caldron, so it'll fit. Don't forget this is
a Labor Day weekend and there's a bogo buy one,
(08:21):
get one free, stock up and save right now buy
three Caltron for example, get three free and free shipping
using the Doug cod Oug Doug on all of your orders.
That three caltrin and then three free ones. That goes
on this weekend at top loss dot com. Back with
doctor Ken kronhous here on Good Day Health Time, Doug
(08:42):
Stefan with a focus. Now we're talking about losing weight,
which we often do. There's an Eli Lilly oral drug.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Let's see if I can.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Pronounce this ken or for gliprin I was gonna say,
or forgotten or for a glippern.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
How do I do?
Speaker 3 (08:58):
That's pretty good, Doug.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Eli Lilly and Company, which makes the injectible zep Bound
or Manjaro in the diabetes form, these little click drugs.
Eli Lilly has announced good results from its Phase three trial.
You know, that's the research trial before the FDA takes
(09:23):
it to market and approves it.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
And these good results for its oral.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
GLP one drug, and you pronounced it, I think pretty well,
or for glip run. This oral medication is a potential competitor, Doug,
to existing injectable GLP one drugs for weight loss. At
the highest dose participates in this phase three study with
(09:49):
the oral drug, the one that you don't have to
click or inject into yourself, they lost an average of
twelve point four percent of their body weight at seven
two weeks. Just to put this in perspective with the
two injectable drugs we now have in this class for
losing weight, zep Bound, which is the most effective on
(10:10):
average about twenty percent in seventy two weeks and Wagovi
the other choice, about fifteen percent of your body weight
in seventy two weeks, so not as quite as effective
of the as the injectibles, but still twelve point four
percent of your body weight loss is not insignificant. It's
(10:31):
quite a good effect. And this looks like we may
finally have an oral choice a pill chose choice in
this GLP one agonist drug choice that are both good
for diabetes as well as for weight loss, as was
in the pill form, both good for diabetes and for
(10:51):
weight loss.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
So when we talk about weight loss, we also talk
about dieting. And one of the things that you have
talked about over the years is the Mediterranean diet, and
apparently there's a new overview that helps people understand how
staying on that diet helps reduce the risk of Alzheimer's.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Yeah, Doug, there was a publication in Nature Medicine this
week that gives us another reason to eat a Mediterranean
style diet, Doug. There's now good evidence that fruits, vegetables,
whole grains, and extra virgin olive oil they help reduce
dementia risk and even Alzheimer's disease. It appears that those
(11:32):
with the highest genetic risk for Alzheimer's benefit the most
from consuming a Mediterranean diet, Doug. Alzheimer's disease. It's largely genetic,
with the heritable estimate to be as high as eighty percent.
One gene apple lipoprotein E or opiate apo E has
(11:53):
been found to be the strongest genetic risk factor for
sporadic Alzheimer's disease.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
That's a wowser.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Doctor Can and Doug continue with Good Day Health this
week after these words, back with doctor Ken Cronhaus Doug Stefan,
here's something that I think we can interpret as good
Ken the story about spinal cord injury and then nerve regeneration.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
What has happened in an experiment with rats.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Yes, Doug, I think this is a fascinating great information
out of the University of Minnesota this week, they have
developed a three D printed scaffold DOUG that successfully restores
movement in rats with severed spinal cords. The scaffold direct
stem cells to grow into functioning nerve cells. And this
(12:49):
is a promising development for a condition with limited treatment
options currently, and it could revolutionize future therapies for spinal
cord injuries.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Huge breakthrough.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Wow, that's how relative these days are rats to these things.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Well, you don't want to be breaking humans spinal cords
and seeing if you can regrow them.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
So it's I guess the best there is, right, it's
a comparative model.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
I don't usually talk about non human studies, but this
is a study that really does give us hope that
we can start repairing human spinal cords. And that's the
next step to Once it's ready, it will be used
and I'm sure in the next few years we'll hear
about this on humans.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
All right.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
A few minutes ago, we were talking about Alzheimer's in
the Mediterranean diet and things that relate to are part
of understanding Alzheimer's. We continue, I think every week we
have something on the brain. We did last week talking
about a brain implant. Another reason for you to go
listen to some of the past programs as podcasts at
(13:57):
good Day Healthshow dot com. This is a breakthrough with
the protein therapy as the focus.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah, this comes out of Saint Hughes's Hospital this week.
This is more great news, a potential breakthrough. The scientists
at Saint Hugh Doug have discovered that a tiny protein
called mid kine. It can block the formation of harmful
amyloid beta clumps, which are a whole mark of Alzheimer's disease.
(14:26):
Without mid kine, the damaging assemblies accelerate, but with it
their growth halt. Doug this finding it could lead to
the development of new drugs that harness the power of
mid kine to prevent or even treat Alzheimer's disease. This
is a huge breakthrough.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Well, we assem me having more and more of these
Alzheimer's and people understanding that Alzheimer's and dementia, dementia is
the main is Well, I'm gonna ask you because sometimes
I even confuse it myself. Alzheimer's is a branch of dementia,
right or is it the other way around?
Speaker 3 (15:05):
You got it exactly right.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
It's the most common, but it's a branch. It's where
you see these harmful amyloid beta clumps. These abnormal proteins
grow on the nerve cells in the brain, and if
we knew how to get rid of it or prevent it,
we would cure amyloids or treat amaloids. And this is
what we were talking about. This may be a breakthrough, So.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
We don't really know what is it the food? Is
it some chemical thing that happens in our body.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
We don't even know that. Right As far.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
As these, A lot of its genetics, as I talked
about earlier, right earlier, and a lot of its genetics,
but it's not all genetics, but it's largely genetics, as
high as eighty percent.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Speaking of genetics, coming up, a conversation about your pregnancy,
if you are pregnant or if you have been, or
maybe if you will be, and the use of acetamenif
it's I'm on to the right page and I think
I am so next page is coming up, so stick around.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
This is Good Day Health with doctor Ken.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I'm Doug Stefan and she's not. She could be Elizabeth Miller. However,
as a matter of fact, she is.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Elizabeth Miller.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Is one of the great reasons for going to toploss
dot com and engaging in the work of calitron getting
that weight off the natural way.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Caltron is different than everything else up 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
nineteen ninety seven. That's over for two hundred thousand happy customers.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
So I know that we just helped people all over
the United States lose weight. So if you go to
toploss dot com, you'll see the calendri and sell right there.
But we do also, like Dougs, had put together custom packages.
Usually they're available by email or our Facebook page, or
you can call us and we'll put together something custom
for you that will also have some special pricing on there.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
And then of course Doug has a promo code.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
If you use the cut promo cod Doug, that's going
to say yawn shipping on all orders.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Elizabeth Miller from the folks at calder Trin.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Thanks Elizabeth. Here we are back on Good Day Health.
I teased the connection between what might be considered aspirin,
right and pregnancy is Cedemnafen is aspirin, right?
Speaker 4 (17:19):
No, No cedamin is branded as tile and all aspirin
is a ctosalic silic acid and two very different chemicals.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
See what do I know? All right?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
But I'm betting that there are a lot of people
listening who do what I just did, and that's confused
the two things because there's the what is it?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
N Sai ds.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
And then there are the other things that are getting
rid of pain right well.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Well, aspirin is in the nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drug category,
but most people think of motrin or relieve and others.
I'm definitely not naming them all in the nonsteroidal anti
inflammatory drug class if you're asking about it. But the
unique thing about aspen cedasal acid is that it also
(18:09):
has anti platelet effect, which thins the blood and the
other non steroidals don't. But now we're speaking just about acetaminophin,
which is in many over the counter pain relieving medications
as a single item, most well known as tile and
all or in combination with many other over the counters.
(18:30):
But it's a cedamniphin. And this, again, this is a
huge breakthrough. We've been talking about a lot of old
ideas that have bitten the dust this week, and this
is another one because you know, you go back just
a week or two ago, you ask a doctor what
a woman is pregnant, and we hate giving women any medications,
(18:54):
any pills to take, but if they're in a significant
amount of pain, what was thought of to be a.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Safe item to take during pregnancy.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Well, this Mount Sinai Hospital Mount Sigi School of Medicine
report may change the whole way we look at pain
during pregnancy what to do about it. This is a
large scale review of studies and it suggests Doug, that
a seed of menfine use during pregnancy may actually increase
the risk of autism and ADHD and children. The strongest
(19:26):
studies show the clearest links in this study of studies
pointing to a biological basis. And this again, it's a
significant observation that could change medical advice for pregnant people
and lead to further research into safety of widely used medications.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Doug.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
You know one of your favorite men, the Secretary of
Health and Human Services right now, mister Kennedy. He announced
this week that come this fall he's going to put
out a huge research paper on what are the causes
of autism? And I just connecting the links this week
to what came out from mouth Sinai Hospital this week
(20:05):
at this large scale review of studies that Thailand all
during pregnancy may be involved in autism. This may be
a huge link to how to prevent autism during pregnancy
during birth.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Well, he certainly has maintained that all along that that's
the reason we have so much ADHD. Can you imagine
if you were a mother and you didn't know any better,
and you had a lot of pain, you had a
tough pregnancy, and you were taking Thailand all, what psychological
impact that might have.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
On these people.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I'm not saying that we shouldn't have the information, but
I'm thinking of the if you continue going down that
street and women realize that they took this without knowing
what the impact might be, and they have children that
have ADHD or something like that that's connected to Thailand, all,
what a horrible I don't know where to go with
(20:58):
this other than just express my own concern for the
people who psychologically will think, my god, look what I
did to my child.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Yes, there's an awful lot of guilt and a lot
of work for therapists going to come out in the
next few weeks.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
All right, let's see, speaking of painkillers, there is a
study that I see you reference about antibiotic resistance to
some of the common painkillers that we're talking about, the
same kind of painkillers that we just referenced.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
We're talking about the same family here now. And yes,
this comes out of the University of South Australia. This
week DOUG the common painkillers which we were just mentioning,
like ibuprofen, which is advilt which is another one of
the non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs, and a set of
(21:54):
minifin thailntle maybe actually accelerating antibiotic resistance. These drugs can
independently dug fuel bacterial resistance, according to this new study.
This discovery raises serious concerns about a major global health
crisis and could lead to new recommendations for the use
(22:14):
of these over the counter medications.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
So stay tuned.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah, it's again, so much of this stuff has been researched,
and we thought researched well, but I think.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
With most of the things that we have tried.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Including the COVID stuff, you don't really know what's going
to be the impact on your body until many years
down the road. But we got so scared with COVID
that we thought we'd take anything and hopefully it won't
be something that's negative down the road. But there are
so many different things that are coming up from various
research projects and various work that's being done by the
(22:51):
drug companies because they're in business to make money and
they hurry up and get the stuff to market, and
then one wonders.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
What is the impact down the road.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
We know what it is, the sort of immediate impact,
but what is it down the road? And I think
that Kennedy is asking good.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Questions about that. Now speaking about questions.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Those of us who have a little bit of arthritis
here and there perhaps get it examined.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I know that doctor Jack, when.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I'm having an episode at his clinic in Salt Lake City,
he does X rays on my neck because he's an
Erka chiropractor, and he's found arthritis in my neck. But
there seems to be now developing a question mark about
how X rays and arthritis mix.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Is that correct, Doug?
Speaker 4 (23:42):
You know this is in the general category of what
you were just talking about, how information impacts the people
who have the conditions, and you know, is information good
or not good for the patient. This is a study
out of the University of Melbourne. It's a news study.
It suggests that routine X rays for the knee ostiorthritis
(24:05):
that's the inflammatory kind, not the autoimmune rheumatoid, but routine
X rays they studied for knee ostiorthritis. They feel in
this study it can do more harm than good. Showing
a patient their X ray in this study increase their anxiety,
caused them to fear exercise, and made them believe surgery
(24:28):
was their only option.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
So it isn't the x ray itself that's doing the harm.
Is the results of taking the X ray on one's
mental state.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
And that's what it sounds like. Yeah, okay, that's very
interesting and important information. Quick review.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Don't forget about the special this weekend Labor Day weekend.
Doctor Ken and doctor Jack and I are here to
help you out. And my message to you about losing
weight and keeping it off is pretty consistent. Go to
toploss dot com check out the benefits of caltrin and
start on the process by ordering three at the regular
(25:05):
price and getting three free. That's the Bogo deal to
get it this weekend, using the Doug code on all
your orders Doug Doug at toploss dot com. All right,
so let's take this is something that I probably should
have tied together with a discussion we were having about
pregnancy and taking various sort of aspirins or whatever seedo metaphin.
(25:34):
There are a lot of women who have other risk factors. Apparently,
according to what I see here, other risk factors for
birth defects.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
So we have discussed one with Tylan. Oh, so you
got some others here. It looks like doug.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
This is out of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine
just this week that two thirds of women in their
child bearing years have an increased risk for birth defects
due to a lifestyle factor that they can actually change.
These risk factors they include low levels of vitamin B nine,
which is fol eate, unmanaged diabetes, or exposure to tobacco smoke.
(26:14):
These increase the odds of a serious birth defect in
any child. They may have heart defects, cleft palates, and
defects of the brain and spinal cord. DUG are among
the problems that could be headed off if women take
steps to improve their health prior to pregnancy.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
All right, okay, here's something that is this just strikes
me as being very strange. Something called light activated anti
fungal therapy, which would be not X rays necessarily, they
all knows fungus was to hold this whole business of
(26:55):
you know what you get whether you aren't drying your
feet and toes up, We'll let me get fungus on
your toes.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
That kind of stuff but what is.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
This all about, this light activated anti fungal therapy and
what part of the body should it be used on.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Well, this is a research study a few weeks ago
from Optics and Photonics Research Center, and what they show
in this study is they use light activated therapy it
can increase the effectiveness of anti fungal drugs against canada albacans.
(27:32):
That's probably the most common fungus that we as humans
have to deal with with. It's around us everywhere, and
this could be a significant step in the treatment of
drug resistant fungal infections. We know, using the common drugs
that we have available to treat fungus that some just resist,
(27:55):
it's very hard. I'm sure people listening know somebody who
has a fungal infection that's been ever so difficult. And
what they show here is that using the drugs along
with light therapy on the effected area made the drugs
in some finally sensitive to the fungus and no longer
(28:15):
people dealing with resistant fungal infections.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Wow. All right, so that's big news. Let's go back.
We have a minute or.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
So before I have to break the business about arthritis
and using X rays and what that's all about.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
As you know, I'm.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Getting a lot of my medical stuff through Tough's University
here and I get their monthly review.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
So when I'm preparing for the program, I.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Look at the information that they send along, and they
have a story about a man who with using low
dose radiation therapy gets rid of his arthritis pain. So
that seems to fly, and it doesn't fly in the
face of it, but it is an interesting addition to
the conversation we were.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Having about radiation in or X rays and what it does.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
What kind of arthritis was that?
Speaker 4 (29:06):
Was that this is osteoi osteoarthritis, And what part of
the body.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
He had his was his legs, his hips, and his knees.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Uh huh, Well, yeah, this was probably very far advanced
and needed some treatment.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
This was probably I would imagine.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
He couldn't walk, this guy.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Okay, And what we were talking about before was much
before then, and this was probably being studied as an
alternative the surgery.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Yeah, I think it was.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
This guy had been a State trooper, been in the
military before and had lots of episodes that affected you know,
these kinds of things will help you and not I
don't mean that in a good way.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Help Arthritis has created around.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Around what bothers all of our bodies, and that's inflammation.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Right.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
This is so the case it toughs is a much
more severe case.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Yes, And the case is that.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
They were looking at questioning whether the X ray diagnostically
was helpful because very early, you know, as soon as
oh my knee hurts, you know, get me an X ray.
That's the kind of patient that was being discussed in
that story.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Yeah, yeah, okay, all right, coming up questions for doctor Ken.
We're going to start talking about the school lunch menu
and what's going on in school, and there are are
a lot of school born illnesses to worry about this fall.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
We'll get to that.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Those questions to that one question now is a couple
of them that are related. We'll do that next. Here,
Good Day Health. Here we are back on Good Day Health.
I'm with doctor Ken Cronhaus and he's there for the
asking at Late Cardiology, his clinic in Florida. If you'd
(30:53):
like to go see him there, that'd be great. We
want to connect the new telemedicine. It's not new anymore.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
It started during COVID, but it's.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Been underscored by the insurance companies as being a very
potent way of connecting with some doctor. For doctor full
advice three five two seven three five fourteen.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Hundred for doctor Ken.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
All right, the question has to do with the tips.
Are there tips ken that we have for children back
to school sessions? Now?
Speaker 2 (31:23):
This is what this time of euroit can you believe it?
Speaker 1 (31:26):
We've been through the summer, it's labor day, weekends, schools
are starting and there are people who are worried about
the kinds of things that.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
All these kids seem to get. They go, it's like
a cooker, right.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
What they call it, not a pressure cooker, but a
petri dish.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Well, that's a challenge because the most common illnesses that
kids get right now in school are all infections common colds,
your infections, influenza, bronchitis, RSV, handfoot mouth disease, conjunctive bis, gastoniritis.
You know these are all all contagious, very contagious infections.
The best thing you can tell you kids, keep their
(32:05):
hands out of their mouth, off their face, and to
the best of your ability, good luck, keep the hands clean.
But unless you keep your kid out of school, which
I don't recommend they're going to get some of this,
but it also helps keep their immune system strong and.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
It's just part of growing.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Up, all right.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
So with that is something that I thought we ought
to sort of put together the business of making America
healthy again and school lunches, the push for healthier, fresh
cooked school lunches. We were talking about Kennedy earlier, and
I know we touched on this a couple of weeks ago,
but I do think it's worth repeating because school is
(32:48):
getting started.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Oh yeah, down where I live in Florida, we're well
into it now, and I know up in the Northeast
it starts a little later other parts of the country.
But absolutely a balanced school lunch also part of keeping
kids healthy. We talked about keeping the hands clean, off
(33:12):
the face, out of the mouth, but also nutrition and
exercise are so important, and sleep also very important for
keeping the kids healthy and revving up those immune systems
to fight all these bugs that they have to deal
with each day.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Okay, the story from Prevention magazine this week, someone references
magnesium is that the key to better health.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Well, magnesium. That may be a broad statement, but magnesium
is one of the ions in the body that are
used to the body uses to help with impulses in
the heart, the brain. We have that potassium, We've got
sodium and calcium, and magnesium is one of the other
(33:56):
very important ones that keeps us in electrical balance. And
if you are low and magnesium, your nerves, your heart
won't work properly.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
But it's if you eat a well balanced diet.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
Unless you're on a diarretic you're having a lot of diarrhea.
It's hard to get deficient in magnesium. If you don't
have normal kidney function. You can do yourself in with
too much magnesium. If you self medicate, just talk to
your doctor occasionally. They may want to measure the magnesium
(34:32):
level in your body if there's a concern about magnesium,
and then let a doctor help you replace magnesium.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Don't do it on your own.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
All right, Final diet, that's the best advice, right, Eat
a well balanced, healthy diet.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Is that going to include I'm going back to the
toughest research paper for this month, and it suggests that
milk is better for hydration than water.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
What do you think of that?
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Well, I think it depends.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Milk is very good, especially low fat skin milk in
my humble opinion, it depends whether you're thirsty. It's a
little hard to do this very quickly. But the arteries
the pipes that bring the blood away from the heart
or porous. So if you're thirsty, plain water doctors called
freewater stays inside the pipes, but if you're not thirsty,
(35:20):
it leaks right through the walls. That's why you have
to drink something with the same tone as blood. Not
doing a Gatorade commercial, but that's the idea behind gatorade.
Milk is a good choice, Juice is a good choice.
Anything that has a sodium in it the right amount
is a good choice to stay in the vessels when
you're not thirsty.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
All right, there we have some homespun advice from doctor Ken.
Questions for doctor Kenn an important part every week of
Good Day Health for Doctor Ken, which you can get
on the radio and these great stages to carry it
around the country and if you miss a piece of it,
go to a Good Day healthshow dot com. This program

Speaker 1 (36:00):
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 Caldron The Safe, proven Way to Lose
weight and keep it off. Hi, Doug Stephan here, I'm
with doctor Ken Cronhouse on Good Day Health.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Listening and learning is a.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Very important thing as well, so I think, and that's
why we have doctor Ken Cronhouse here from Lake Cardiology
down in Mount Duro, Florida, to go through a number
of items that have appeared this week in the various
journals of medicine.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
He'll take his.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Expertise and he'll go through the information that's there and
translate it so that we know what the heck's going
on in the world of medicine, the conventional world of medicine.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
That we cover here on Good Day Health.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Good Day Healthshow dot Com with doctor Ken Good Day
Healthshow dot Com. If you are personal listening to podcasts
and you'd like to hear not only the whole show,
you might not have been able to hear the whole
program on the radio, so you can get it at
good Day Healthshow dot com. Plus there are fifteen or
sixteen hundred hours hours of various weekly programs from doctor Ken,
(01:04):
all kinds of knowledge going back any number of years.
So that's good Day Healthshow dot com. And in order
to reach doctor Ken for an appointment if you'd like
to go to Lake Cardiology down in Florida, very easy.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
To do that.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Three five two seven three five one four double Oh
that's three five two area code seven three five fourteen hundred.
All right, So let us try to find some good news.
Not as much good news this week as there was
last week, but.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Still some like the story of the common.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Cold and what it does against COVID. This sounds like
it would be very intriguing.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Ken.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yes, you ever wonder why.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Children just seem to have less severe COVID than the
rest of US adults. This is some important news that
came out of the National Jewish Health Hospital, which is
in Denver, Colorado.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
DOUG.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Recent colds that are caused by rhinoviruses. That's what caused
the common cold, the rhinovirus. They can provide short term
protection against COVID nineteen.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Doug.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
The immune system of children in particular reacts strongly with
anti viral defenses, which may help explain children's lower rates
of severe COVID nineteen.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Severe COVID nineteen do we have severe COVID nineteen around
this year. A lot of stuff with the scary news
media and social media trying to scare everybody as usual,
and so oh, we've got new cases of COVID nineteen
here and there, and so you see that, you think
we're going to have another epidemic.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
That's nonsense, right.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Well, there seems to be in the last couple of
years two yearly spikes of COVID, one in the summer,
one in the winter, and we're right now in our
summer spike. And fortunately the death rate is not anywhere
where it was a few years ago when COVID hit.
(03:09):
But still those who have chronic illnesses, multiple illnesses, those
who don't handle respiratory infection as well. There's a subgroup,
fortunately it's a small subgroup now, who are at risk
of a severe infection. But for most of us, it's
going to be like the common cold.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
All right, So relax, folks, I guess that's the bottom line. Now,
here's something that concerns me because it seems contrary to
a lot of things that I have been reading lately
in various journals of medicine that I read. And that's
the combination of cancer and meat consumption and what it
may lead to according to this information, Yeah, Doug.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
This may wake a lot of us up. It comes
from McMaster University this week. It's a large study of
nearly six sixteen thousand adults and it found no link
between eating animal protein and a.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Higher risk of death.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Surprisingly, a higher intake of animal protein was actually associated
with lower cancer mortality.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Doug.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
This research it does challenge the long held assumptions about
the link between red meat and cancer, and it supports
the role of animal protein in a balanced diet. My
take from this is, don't go crazy, but just enjoy
enjoy meat and realize that it may not be as
(04:39):
deadly as we originally thought in this very large study,
but just do things in moderation.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
How the heck do you know what to believe?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I know the Jack Stockwell and I on his Good
Day Health Hour have discussed it many times over the years,
and I'm not one. I don't eat meat, but it's
not because because I think it's not good for me,
although I do think it's not good for me.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I have a dairy farm and the.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Cows of my friends, and I don't eat my friends,
so that's something that I've held over the years.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
But I think what I've read over and over again.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
As a matter of fact, I just read something this
week in one of the journals, you know. I read
a lot of stuff to prepare me for you and
for Jack and for other things that just in my
own life. I want to know what's good for me
and what isn't And there is an overwhelming Maybe they
didn't have sixteen thousand people in the study, but an
overwhelming majority of information I'm getting says eat meat sparingly.
(05:39):
And I don't know mcma whoever heard of McMaster university?
And again, not trying to throw cold water off it,
I never heard of McMaster University.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Did you before you read this study?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yeah? Oh yes, oh yes, yeah, And it is it.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
You know, it is an interesting study. One thing is
it's very large, and this is a university in Canada
and a large public research and it's well known, it
has a good reputation. So I guess stay tuned, and
(06:16):
there's going to be a lot of debate about this,
about this study because it's a very large study. Sixteen
thousand people or a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
All right, coming up in a moment a discussion of
an Eli Lilly drug that's good I think for losing weight.
It's a GLP one drug. Well to find out what
the scoop of that is. Losing weight is an often
function of our conversation here on the Good Day Health Program,
and that's because our sponsor is Caltrin. Caltrin is America
(06:45):
is number one way to lose weight and keep it off.
It is simple, it is sweet, doesn't have any well,
it doesn't have any tapes to flavor to it. But
it is non toxic. When I say, that's sweet for
your body. So check it out on their website at
toploss dot com and see how you can have the
same results that so many, hundreds of thousands of people
(07:08):
around this country and around the world have taken and
found that this works.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
They've taken Caldron. It's safe.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
They'll tell you it's stimulant free, and it's clinically proven
for almost thirty years to support healthy weight loss the
natural way. It boosts your metabolism and lean muscle building.
It's so gentle on your stomach and your body you
won't have any side effects, which is what many of
the people who take these weight loss drugs feel that
(07:36):
they'll say that's how they feel. Whether that's true with
everybody or not, but I know this is the safe
way to do it. A lot of people take Caldron
with some of these weight loss drugs to support at
the end of their mission keeping that weight off. So
whichever is your choice, help yourself. This is great we
reason to do it this weekend. At the Caldron website
(07:57):
top looss dot com, you can check out a number
of things like the collagen. There's a story on their
website about the collagen decline with age and why you
want college and support and that's one of the main
ingredients in Caldron, so it'll fit. Don't forget this is
a Labor Day weekend and there's a bogo buy one,
(08:21):
get one free, stock up and save right now buy
three Caltron for example, get three free and free shipping
using the Doug cod Oug Doug on all of your orders.
That three caltrin and then three free ones. That goes
on this weekend at top loss dot com. Back with
doctor Ken kronhous here on Good Day Health Time, Doug
(08:42):
Stefan with a focus. Now we're talking about losing weight,
which we often do. There's an Eli Lilly oral drug.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Let's see if I can.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Pronounce this ken or for gliprin I was gonna say,
or forgotten or for a glippern.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
How do I do?
Speaker 3 (08:58):
That's pretty good, Doug.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Eli Lilly and Company, which makes the injectible zep Bound
or Manjaro in the diabetes form, these little click drugs.
Eli Lilly has announced good results from its Phase three trial.
You know, that's the research trial before the FDA takes
(09:23):
it to market and approves it.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
And these good results for its oral.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
GLP one drug, and you pronounced it, I think pretty well,
or for glip run. This oral medication is a potential competitor, Doug,
to existing injectable GLP one drugs for weight loss. At
the highest dose participates in this phase three study with
(09:49):
the oral drug, the one that you don't have to
click or inject into yourself, they lost an average of
twelve point four percent of their body weight at seven
two weeks. Just to put this in perspective with the
two injectable drugs we now have in this class for
losing weight, zep Bound, which is the most effective on
(10:10):
average about twenty percent in seventy two weeks and Wagovi
the other choice, about fifteen percent of your body weight
in seventy two weeks, so not as quite as effective
of the as the injectibles, but still twelve point four
percent of your body weight loss is not insignificant. It's
(10:31):
quite a good effect. And this looks like we may
finally have an oral choice a pill chose choice in
this GLP one agonist drug choice that are both good
for diabetes as well as for weight loss, as was
in the pill form, both good for diabetes and for
(10:51):
weight loss.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
So when we talk about weight loss, we also talk
about dieting. And one of the things that you have
talked about over the years is the Mediterranean diet, and
apparently there's a new overview that helps people understand how
staying on that diet helps reduce the risk of Alzheimer's.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Yeah, Doug, there was a publication in Nature Medicine this
week that gives us another reason to eat a Mediterranean
style diet, Doug. There's now good evidence that fruits, vegetables,
whole grains, and extra virgin olive oil they help reduce
dementia risk and even Alzheimer's disease. It appears that those
(11:32):
with the highest genetic risk for Alzheimer's benefit the most
from consuming a Mediterranean diet, Doug. Alzheimer's disease. It's largely genetic,
with the heritable estimate to be as high as eighty percent.
One gene apple lipoprotein E or opiate apo E has
(11:53):
been found to be the strongest genetic risk factor for
sporadic Alzheimer's disease.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
That's a wowser.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Doctor Can and Doug continue with Good Day Health this
week after these words, back with doctor Ken Cronhaus Doug Stefan,
here's something that I think we can interpret as good
Ken the story about spinal cord injury and then nerve regeneration.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
What has happened in an experiment with rats.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Yes, Doug, I think this is a fascinating great information
out of the University of Minnesota this week, they have
developed a three D printed scaffold DOUG that successfully restores
movement in rats with severed spinal cords. The scaffold direct
stem cells to grow into functioning nerve cells. And this
(12:49):
is a promising development for a condition with limited treatment
options currently, and it could revolutionize future therapies for spinal
cord injuries.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Huge breakthrough.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Wow, that's how relative these days are rats to these things.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Well, you don't want to be breaking humans spinal cords
and seeing if you can regrow them.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
So it's I guess the best there is, right, it's
a comparative model.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
I don't usually talk about non human studies, but this
is a study that really does give us hope that
we can start repairing human spinal cords. And that's the
next step to Once it's ready, it will be used
and I'm sure in the next few years we'll hear
about this on humans.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
All right.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
A few minutes ago, we were talking about Alzheimer's in
the Mediterranean diet and things that relate to are part
of understanding Alzheimer's. We continue, I think every week we
have something on the brain. We did last week talking
about a brain implant. Another reason for you to go
listen to some of the past programs as podcasts at
(13:57):
good Day Healthshow dot com. This is a breakthrough with
the protein therapy as the focus.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah, this comes out of Saint Hughes's Hospital this week.
This is more great news, a potential breakthrough. The scientists
at Saint Hugh Doug have discovered that a tiny protein
called mid kine. It can block the formation of harmful
amyloid beta clumps, which are a whole mark of Alzheimer's disease.
(14:26):
Without mid kine, the damaging assemblies accelerate, but with it
their growth halt. Doug this finding it could lead to
the development of new drugs that harness the power of
mid kine to prevent or even treat Alzheimer's disease. This
is a huge breakthrough.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Well, we assem me having more and more of these
Alzheimer's and people understanding that Alzheimer's and dementia, dementia is
the main is Well, I'm gonna ask you because sometimes
I even confuse it myself. Alzheimer's is a branch of dementia,
right or is it the other way around?
Speaker 3 (15:05):
You got it exactly right.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
It's the most common, but it's a branch. It's where
you see these harmful amyloid beta clumps. These abnormal proteins
grow on the nerve cells in the brain, and if
we knew how to get rid of it or prevent it,
we would cure amyloids or treat amaloids. And this is
what we were talking about. This may be a breakthrough, So.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
We don't really know what is it the food? Is
it some chemical thing that happens in our body.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
We don't even know that. Right As far.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
As these, A lot of its genetics, as I talked
about earlier, right earlier, and a lot of its genetics,
but it's not all genetics, but it's largely genetics, as
high as eighty percent.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Speaking of genetics, coming up, a conversation about your pregnancy,
if you are pregnant or if you have been, or
maybe if you will be, and the use of acetamenif
it's I'm on to the right page and I think
I am so next page is coming up, so stick around.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
This is Good Day Health with doctor Ken.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I'm Doug Stefan and she's not. She could be Elizabeth Miller. However,
as a matter of fact, she is.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Elizabeth Miller.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Is one of the great reasons for going to toploss
dot com and engaging in the work of calitron getting
that weight off the natural way.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Caltron is different than everything else up 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
nineteen ninety seven. That's over for two hundred thousand happy customers.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
So I know that we just helped people all over
the United States lose weight. So if you go to
toploss dot com, you'll see the calendri and sell right there.
But we do also, like Dougs, had put together custom packages.
Usually they're available by email or our Facebook page, or
you can call us and we'll put together something custom
for you that will also have some special pricing on there.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
And then of course Doug has a promo code.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
If you use the cut promo cod Doug, that's going
to say yawn shipping on all orders.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Elizabeth Miller from the folks at calder Trin.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Thanks Elizabeth. Here we are back on Good Day Health.
I teased the connection between what might be considered aspirin,
right and pregnancy is Cedemnafen is aspirin, right?
Speaker 4 (17:19):
No, No cedamin is branded as tile and all aspirin
is a ctosalic silic acid and two very different chemicals.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
See what do I know? All right?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
But I'm betting that there are a lot of people
listening who do what I just did, and that's confused
the two things because there's the what is it?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
N Sai ds.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
And then there are the other things that are getting
rid of pain right well.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Well, aspirin is in the nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drug category,
but most people think of motrin or relieve and others.
I'm definitely not naming them all in the nonsteroidal anti
inflammatory drug class if you're asking about it. But the
unique thing about aspen cedasal acid is that it also
(18:09):
has anti platelet effect, which thins the blood and the
other non steroidals don't. But now we're speaking just about acetaminophin,
which is in many over the counter pain relieving medications
as a single item, most well known as tile and
all or in combination with many other over the counters.
(18:30):
But it's a cedamniphin. And this, again, this is a
huge breakthrough. We've been talking about a lot of old
ideas that have bitten the dust this week, and this
is another one because you know, you go back just
a week or two ago, you ask a doctor what
a woman is pregnant, and we hate giving women any medications,
(18:54):
any pills to take, but if they're in a significant
amount of pain, what was thought of to be a.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Safe item to take during pregnancy.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Well, this Mount Sinai Hospital Mount Sigi School of Medicine
report may change the whole way we look at pain
during pregnancy what to do about it. This is a
large scale review of studies and it suggests Doug, that
a seed of menfine use during pregnancy may actually increase
the risk of autism and ADHD and children. The strongest
(19:26):
studies show the clearest links in this study of studies
pointing to a biological basis. And this again, it's a
significant observation that could change medical advice for pregnant people
and lead to further research into safety of widely used medications.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Doug.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
You know one of your favorite men, the Secretary of
Health and Human Services right now, mister Kennedy. He announced
this week that come this fall he's going to put
out a huge research paper on what are the causes
of autism? And I just connecting the links this week
to what came out from mouth Sinai Hospital this week
(20:05):
at this large scale review of studies that Thailand all
during pregnancy may be involved in autism. This may be
a huge link to how to prevent autism during pregnancy
during birth.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Well, he certainly has maintained that all along that that's
the reason we have so much ADHD. Can you imagine
if you were a mother and you didn't know any better,
and you had a lot of pain, you had a
tough pregnancy, and you were taking Thailand all, what psychological
impact that might have.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
On these people.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I'm not saying that we shouldn't have the information, but
I'm thinking of the if you continue going down that
street and women realize that they took this without knowing
what the impact might be, and they have children that
have ADHD or something like that that's connected to Thailand, all,
what a horrible I don't know where to go with
(20:58):
this other than just express my own concern for the
people who psychologically will think, my god, look what I
did to my child.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Yes, there's an awful lot of guilt and a lot
of work for therapists going to come out in the
next few weeks.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
All right, let's see, speaking of painkillers, there is a
study that I see you reference about antibiotic resistance to
some of the common painkillers that we're talking about, the
same kind of painkillers that we just referenced.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
We're talking about the same family here now. And yes,
this comes out of the University of South Australia. This
week DOUG the common painkillers which we were just mentioning,
like ibuprofen, which is advilt which is another one of
the non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs, and a set of
(21:54):
minifin thailntle maybe actually accelerating antibiotic resistance. These drugs can
independently dug fuel bacterial resistance, according to this new study.
This discovery raises serious concerns about a major global health
crisis and could lead to new recommendations for the use
(22:14):
of these over the counter medications.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
So stay tuned.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah, it's again, so much of this stuff has been researched,
and we thought researched well, but I think.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
With most of the things that we have tried.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Including the COVID stuff, you don't really know what's going
to be the impact on your body until many years
down the road. But we got so scared with COVID
that we thought we'd take anything and hopefully it won't
be something that's negative down the road. But there are
so many different things that are coming up from various
research projects and various work that's being done by the
(22:51):
drug companies because they're in business to make money and
they hurry up and get the stuff to market, and
then one wonders.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
What is the impact down the road.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
We know what it is, the sort of immediate impact,
but what is it down the road? And I think
that Kennedy is asking good.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Questions about that. Now speaking about questions.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Those of us who have a little bit of arthritis
here and there perhaps get it examined.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I know that doctor Jack, when.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I'm having an episode at his clinic in Salt Lake City,
he does X rays on my neck because he's an
Erka chiropractor, and he's found arthritis in my neck. But
there seems to be now developing a question mark about
how X rays and arthritis mix.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Is that correct, Doug?
Speaker 4 (23:42):
You know this is in the general category of what
you were just talking about, how information impacts the people
who have the conditions, and you know, is information good
or not good for the patient. This is a study
out of the University of Melbourne. It's a news study.
It suggests that routine X rays for the knee ostiorthritis
(24:05):
that's the inflammatory kind, not the autoimmune rheumatoid, but routine
X rays they studied for knee ostiorthritis. They feel in
this study it can do more harm than good. Showing
a patient their X ray in this study increase their anxiety,
caused them to fear exercise, and made them believe surgery
(24:28):
was their only option.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
So it isn't the x ray itself that's doing the harm.
Is the results of taking the X ray on one's
mental state.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
And that's what it sounds like. Yeah, okay, that's very
interesting and important information. Quick review.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Don't forget about the special this weekend Labor Day weekend.
Doctor Ken and doctor Jack and I are here to
help you out. And my message to you about losing
weight and keeping it off is pretty consistent. Go to
toploss dot com check out the benefits of caltrin and
start on the process by ordering three at the regular
(25:05):
price and getting three free. That's the Bogo deal to
get it this weekend, using the Doug code on all
your orders Doug Doug at toploss dot com. All right,
so let's take this is something that I probably should
have tied together with a discussion we were having about
pregnancy and taking various sort of aspirins or whatever seedo metaphin.
(25:34):
There are a lot of women who have other risk factors. Apparently,
according to what I see here, other risk factors for
birth defects.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
So we have discussed one with Tylan. Oh, so you
got some others here. It looks like doug.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
This is out of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine
just this week that two thirds of women in their
child bearing years have an increased risk for birth defects
due to a lifestyle factor that they can actually change.
These risk factors they include low levels of vitamin B nine,
which is fol eate, unmanaged diabetes, or exposure to tobacco smoke.
(26:14):
These increase the odds of a serious birth defect in
any child. They may have heart defects, cleft palates, and
defects of the brain and spinal cord. DUG are among
the problems that could be headed off if women take
steps to improve their health prior to pregnancy.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
All right, okay, here's something that is this just strikes
me as being very strange. Something called light activated anti
fungal therapy, which would be not X rays necessarily, they
all knows fungus was to hold this whole business of
(26:55):
you know what you get whether you aren't drying your
feet and toes up, We'll let me get fungus on
your toes.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
That kind of stuff but what is.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
This all about, this light activated anti fungal therapy and
what part of the body should it be used on.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Well, this is a research study a few weeks ago
from Optics and Photonics Research Center, and what they show
in this study is they use light activated therapy it
can increase the effectiveness of anti fungal drugs against canada albacans.
(27:32):
That's probably the most common fungus that we as humans
have to deal with with. It's around us everywhere, and
this could be a significant step in the treatment of
drug resistant fungal infections. We know, using the common drugs
that we have available to treat fungus that some just resist,
(27:55):
it's very hard. I'm sure people listening know somebody who
has a fungal infection that's been ever so difficult. And
what they show here is that using the drugs along
with light therapy on the effected area made the drugs
in some finally sensitive to the fungus and no longer
(28:15):
people dealing with resistant fungal infections.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Wow. All right, so that's big news. Let's go back.
We have a minute or.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
So before I have to break the business about arthritis
and using X rays and what that's all about.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
As you know, I'm.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Getting a lot of my medical stuff through Tough's University
here and I get their monthly review.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
So when I'm preparing for the program, I.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Look at the information that they send along, and they
have a story about a man who with using low
dose radiation therapy gets rid of his arthritis pain. So
that seems to fly, and it doesn't fly in the
face of it, but it is an interesting addition to
the conversation we were.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Having about radiation in or X rays and what it does.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
What kind of arthritis was that?
Speaker 4 (29:06):
Was that this is osteoi osteoarthritis, And what part of
the body.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
He had his was his legs, his hips, and his knees.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Uh huh, Well, yeah, this was probably very far advanced
and needed some treatment.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
This was probably I would imagine.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
He couldn't walk, this guy.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Okay, And what we were talking about before was much
before then, and this was probably being studied as an
alternative the surgery.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Yeah, I think it was.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
This guy had been a State trooper, been in the
military before and had lots of episodes that affected you know,
these kinds of things will help you and not I
don't mean that in a good way.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Help Arthritis has created around.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Around what bothers all of our bodies, and that's inflammation.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Right.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
This is so the case it toughs is a much
more severe case.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Yes, And the case is that.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
They were looking at questioning whether the X ray diagnostically
was helpful because very early, you know, as soon as
oh my knee hurts, you know, get me an X ray.
That's the kind of patient that was being discussed in
that story.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Yeah, yeah, okay, all right, coming up questions for doctor Ken.
We're going to start talking about the school lunch menu
and what's going on in school, and there are are
a lot of school born illnesses to worry about this fall.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
We'll get to that.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Those questions to that one question now is a couple
of them that are related. We'll do that next. Here,
Good Day Health. Here we are back on Good Day Health.
I'm with doctor Ken Cronhaus and he's there for the
asking at Late Cardiology, his clinic in Florida. If you'd
(30:53):
like to go see him there, that'd be great. We
want to connect the new telemedicine. It's not new anymore.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
It started during COVID, but it's.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Been underscored by the insurance companies as being a very
potent way of connecting with some doctor. For doctor full
advice three five two seven three five fourteen.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Hundred for doctor Ken.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
All right, the question has to do with the tips.
Are there tips ken that we have for children back
to school sessions? Now?
Speaker 2 (31:23):
This is what this time of euroit can you believe it?
Speaker 1 (31:26):
We've been through the summer, it's labor day, weekends, schools
are starting and there are people who are worried about
the kinds of things that.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
All these kids seem to get. They go, it's like
a cooker, right.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
What they call it, not a pressure cooker, but a
petri dish.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Well, that's a challenge because the most common illnesses that
kids get right now in school are all infections common colds,
your infections, influenza, bronchitis, RSV, handfoot mouth disease, conjunctive bis, gastoniritis.
You know these are all all contagious, very contagious infections.
The best thing you can tell you kids, keep their
(32:05):
hands out of their mouth, off their face, and to
the best of your ability, good luck, keep the hands clean.
But unless you keep your kid out of school, which
I don't recommend they're going to get some of this,
but it also helps keep their immune system strong and.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
It's just part of growing.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Up, all right.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
So with that is something that I thought we ought
to sort of put together the business of making America
healthy again and school lunches, the push for healthier, fresh
cooked school lunches. We were talking about Kennedy earlier, and
I know we touched on this a couple of weeks ago,
but I do think it's worth repeating because school is
(32:48):
getting started.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Oh yeah, down where I live in Florida, we're well
into it now, and I know up in the Northeast
it starts a little later other parts of the country.
But absolutely a balanced school lunch also part of keeping
kids healthy. We talked about keeping the hands clean, off
(33:12):
the face, out of the mouth, but also nutrition and
exercise are so important, and sleep also very important for
keeping the kids healthy and revving up those immune systems
to fight all these bugs that they have to deal
with each day.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Okay, the story from Prevention magazine this week, someone references
magnesium is that the key to better health.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Well, magnesium. That may be a broad statement, but magnesium
is one of the ions in the body that are
used to the body uses to help with impulses in
the heart, the brain. We have that potassium, We've got
sodium and calcium, and magnesium is one of the other
(33:56):
very important ones that keeps us in electrical balance. And
if you are low and magnesium, your nerves, your heart
won't work properly.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
But it's if you eat a well balanced diet.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
Unless you're on a diarretic you're having a lot of diarrhea.
It's hard to get deficient in magnesium. If you don't
have normal kidney function. You can do yourself in with
too much magnesium. If you self medicate, just talk to
your doctor occasionally. They may want to measure the magnesium
(34:32):
level in your body if there's a concern about magnesium,
and then let a doctor help you replace magnesium.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Don't do it on your own.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
All right, Final diet, that's the best advice, right, Eat
a well balanced, healthy diet.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Is that going to include I'm going back to the
toughest research paper for this month, and it suggests that
milk is better for hydration than water.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
What do you think of that?
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Well, I think it depends.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Milk is very good, especially low fat skin milk in
my humble opinion, it depends whether you're thirsty. It's a
little hard to do this very quickly. But the arteries
the pipes that bring the blood away from the heart
or porous. So if you're thirsty, plain water doctors called
freewater stays inside the pipes, but if you're not thirsty,
(35:20):
it leaks right through the walls. That's why you have
to drink something with the same tone as blood. Not
doing a Gatorade commercial, but that's the idea behind gatorade.
Milk is a good choice, Juice is a good choice.
Anything that has a sodium in it the right amount
is a good choice to stay in the vessels when
you're not thirsty.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
All right, there we have some homespun advice from doctor Ken.
