It's the Good Day Health Podcast with doctor Jack Stockwell,
sponsored in part by Caldron, 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 Jackstockwell dot com. Once again,
I am privileged to be a part of the program.
And for those of you who have been listening to
some of my broadcasting here with the Doug Steffan Good
Day Health Show, you know I've been covering the heart lately,
and I've still got some more things that i want
to say about the heart, simply because it is the
(00:34):
number one killer in America and it doesn't need to be.
And when I talk to patients who come to me
for nutritional support of their heart function, and I point
out to them that if they go look into the
records of the CDC decade by decade you get back
(00:56):
before nineteen ten, you won't find heart to disease, because
we didn't have heart disease at least not enough to
register in the top ten killers according to the CDC, which,
of course now heart disease is the number one killer.
What happened? What happened over the last hundred years that
(01:18):
such a transition took place in this country. So that's
kind of the lead in that I use with patients
when I try to get them to understand the difference
between drugs and food. Now, that may sound like a
silly statement, but for a lot of heart patients, they
think that that's going to restore their heart function. They
(01:40):
think that somehow that's going to restore their heart. They're
sickened heart, and once they start taking these drugs, before
long they'll be back on their feet. Now, I'm not
down on drugs, as I often say. There's a million
people out there walking around right now, like my brother,
(02:03):
who's alive because of drugs. My problems that when drugs
are used in place of food, that the transition between
being sick and becoming healthy again is lost completely. Now,
it's remarkable how physicians will scold a patient for taking
(02:23):
nutrients like the kind I'm talking about, because they may
interfere with their medications. I have patients in cardiac care
in the hospital and their family members will sneak in
some supplements, and when you read the ingredients of these supplements,
(02:46):
all that's there are food concentrates. And then my usual
question that I would ask these people, your doctor doesn't
want you to take this. Does this mean your doctor
wants you to fast that he doesn't want you to
eat anything at all? Because what they're going to serve
you in the hospital is not heart healthy food whatsoever.
(03:07):
But they would rather give you than this. I only
ask questions like that to get their attention, so they're
thinking now, doctors are right in trying to suppress the
use of most supplements for their cancer or heart patients,
because most supplements are crap. Most of them are just
(03:29):
synthetic compounds that have the effective drugs that are made
in the laboratory. In fact, the majority of supplements, the
hundreds of varieties out there right now and health food stores,
grocery pharmacies wherever else, are packed by about six different
pharmaceutical companies. They just put the same stuff in everybody's
(03:54):
a different bottle with a different label on it. Big
Farmer learned a long time ago, more than twenty years ago,
that there's an awful lot of money being spent in supplements.
So they got in the supplement business, and so they will.
And I'm not going to mention any names right now,
but the most common names that you hear either advertised
(04:16):
on TV or promoted in pharmacies or health food stores
are just packaged by Big Pharma, and they're they're just
drugs with a vitamin name on it. So when I
hear a doctor telling their patient, oh, we don't want
you to take these, and I said, well, did you
show it to him? And they said yes. In some cases,
(04:40):
did he read the label? No, he just salved the
name a B vitamin. Oh, you can't take the stuff.
It could interfere with the with the medication. It only
reveals the incredible level of ignorance of the doctor who
doesn't take the time to read the label and see.
One of the major ingredients of a heart supplement that
(05:03):
I give to my patients is liver. Is a doctor
you going to tell you can't eat liver? But anyway,
the truth is is that it's the drug that interferes
with the real healing. They could be produced by proper nutrition.
And then the second great truth is that no one
really knows what's going on with multiple drug interactions. I
(05:24):
talked about this last week. Once you get past three drugs,
the biomechanic, biochemical interactions and side effects are just simply
out of control. No matter what your doctor, no matter
what your pharmacist tells you, because these drugs interact with
one another. Now for just tuning in, I am doctor
(05:47):
Jack Stockwell at Forbidden dot com, and I wanted to
talk again about the heart now. No matter how you
look at it. While drugs save lives, drugs also kill,
especially if you're over sixty five. And don't forget that,
properly prescribed drugs are the third leading cause of death
(06:09):
in this country. Properly prescribed, not misprescribed, properly prescribed drugs
third leading cause of death in our country, and it
is no better in foreign countries. There was a two
year study in Finland that showed that properly prescribed drugs
were the cause of death of almost twenty percent one
(06:32):
in five people over the age of sixty five, and
many of those deaths occurred just within days of arriving
in the hospital. So virtually all drugs have their tailtale
problems and side effects. And when you go from one
to three, you don't triple your odds of problems. You're
actually exponentially increasing these odds to numbers that no one
(06:54):
can really comprehend. And then they produce more side effects,
and then you get more drugs. I mean, today we're
living with Frankenstein diseases produced by well meaning drug therapies
and vaccines. I mean, for instance, there's no real measles anymore,
only Frankenstein measles. These things have been altered inside human
(07:17):
hosts by all the drugs that are used and the
measles vaccines that can actually kill unprotected adults and pregnant mothers,
and millions of people suffer desperately painful, serious cases of
shingles simply because of the chicken pox vaccine. And so
when you vaccinate kids against the relatively benign condition of
(07:41):
chicken pox, it causes literally millions of cases of shingles,
with hundreds dying from that condition, millions suffering if you've
ever had jingles, from this intractable, permanent, severe pain. Unfortunately,
the same can be said for the heart drugs on
a different level. They all carry serious side effects, and
(08:03):
when needed and warranted, they're wonderful. I have no problem
with that. Like I said, drugs right now are keeping
my brother alive. He dropped dead on the ninth Green.
He's only alive today because his playing partner is an
expert in CPR kept him alive until the EMT showed up.
Now he's back on the golf course. Well, I think
it's about five months later now, with a combination pacemaker
(08:28):
defibrillator in his chest. But he still has a very
weak ejection fraction. And I've talked to him, you know,
I've talked to him and said, listen, this can change.
We can build the strength of that ejection fraction simply
by feeding your heart the micro nutrition that it needs.
(08:49):
But as well, you know the doctor wants. I think
I should be following with the doctor. Yeah, they saved
your life. I can see why you feel that way.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
But anyway, as I said, they save lives, but they
also have serious side effects. Some of the most serious
side effects of drugs that we put into our bodies
are the ones we use for our heart, because it
just simply slows the heart down.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
I think the example I used once before is like
taking an F one formula raser and putting a governor
on the engine so that instead of cruising on the
straightaways at plus two hundred miles an hour, it won't
go over fifty. That's what some of these drugs do
to the heart, and it creates what I refer to
as a cardiac invalid. So I'm not telling you to
(09:40):
stop the drugs. Don't misunderstand me. I'm suggesting that maybe
you might want to start supplementing your heart now before
this program's over. I'm going to tell you the things
that your heart needs. It's the stuff I take every morning.
I just recently turned seventy five, and I still see
a full load of patients every day of the world.
(10:02):
And I got up this morning clear headed, feeling strong,
and the rest of this day will be very productive
because I take care of my heart. Now, for some people,
now I want to talk about, let me put it
this way, I want to talk about the kind of
(10:26):
the downward spiral that some of us go through. I
mean because for some people the first sign of heart
disease is their last, the deadly heart attack. But for
millions of others, what we're dealing with here is a
downward spiral leading to becoming an invalid and eventually death.
(10:50):
And the entire process usually is very slow. It could
take years, but it can also happen quickly if you're
not aware. And the good news is that this can
all be avoided. So I'm going to go through the
typical order of events this common downward spiral, and you
tell me if you fit into this picture, because the
(11:14):
first sign is often high blood pressure or some abnormal
finding frequently discovered during some kind of health screening. High cholesterol,
high LDL cholesterol, a slight almost minor cardiac arhythmia, or
any combination of what I just mentioned is usually just
the first stage of this downward health spiral. But many
(11:36):
of these conditions have nothing to do with heart disease,
but they do relate to prescription drug treatments. Now I'm
going to go to a break here in just a
few seconds, but I'm going to go through the beginning
and then the progression, and then the end stages. You
can kind of figure out where you fit in. And
(11:57):
then I'm going to tell you what I take and
my patients take to generate good heart health. I'm doctor
Jack Stockwell at forbiddendoctor dot com. I will be right
back after the break.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Doug step in here with Good Day Health. Doctor Jack
Stockwell is on the air.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
The major group I'm trying to address here is it's
a gradual slope, but it's downhill, it's not uphill. Now.
Usually these things begin around The first treatment step usually
begins with a prescription, most often for a statin to
lower the cholesterol or for some blood pressure drug. And
(13:42):
these drugs are frequently accompanied by the suggestion for an
absolutely useless low fat diet. And since no one can
stick with a low fat diet, and since these drugs
do not cure anything, the next step is more invasive testing,
like well, angiography, let's take a picture of the blood
(14:04):
vessels of your heart. We're going to give you a
little bit of a die and then we're going to
take a picture of your heart and see how the
blood vessels are doing. And slight blockages. I would say
almost everybody over fifty is going to have a slight
blockage or some impaired circulation will be diagnosed with a
cardiac or a coronary artery disease, and rather than correct
(14:30):
this very common problem, angioplasty is what usually follows, which
is generally a useless treatment over the long haul, but
it naturally leads to a more drastic procedure to treat
the symptoms of coronary arter disease, which would be a
coronary bypass. I have a family member who is a
(14:54):
technician in the cardiac lab and he does angiographies, and
he does the more drastic procedures. But I mean I
said angiography, I mean angioplasty where they put catheters into
the artery and into the heart and stense or whatever
(15:17):
else are going to have happened. And I always ask
him what's the prognosis of those things? They said, well,
they work, they're pretty good for two or three years,
but then you've got to do something else, and why
because it doesn't fix anything, but the bypass. Eventually it
leads to a bypass, the coronary bypass. If you're lucky,
you're only one. Sometimes I know someone recently had a
(15:41):
quad They did four. They had to do four of them.
And a bypass is always accompanied by very powerful prescription drugs,
and for reasons no one can predict or understand, the
heart often acts very abnormally after this proceed and the
drugs begin to take their toll, produced by the long
(16:06):
list of side effects that start showing up with it,
beginning with complete loss of your sex life, progressing to weakness, dizziness,
of fainting, cardiac arrhythmias, somnolence, which is just this trancelike
(16:28):
exhaustion and sleepiness, and eventually leading to what I refer
to as total cardiac invalidism. You're still alive, but you
can't do anything so about now, cardiac arrhythmias begin to develop,
and this generally generally will lead to more drugs and cardioversion,
(16:53):
which is the shock treatment to restore the heart's normal rhythm.
It'll stop the heart and start it or stop it
start at stop it started. However, what is required in
order to try to get the heart back into its
normal rhythm? Now, why is the heart coming out of
its normal rhythm? It didn't happen when you were six.
(17:16):
Why is it happening in the sixty We're going to
go to a break here in a few moments, and
I want to tell you exactly what's taking place when
these kinds of therapies are administered. I'm doctor Jack Stockwell
at forbiddendoctor dot com. I will be right back.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Caltrin is on the top of the food chain, if
you will, when it comes to losing weight. And because
it is fall, it's time to focus on what we
seem to get into every year at this time exactly.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
You know, we call it the eating season around here,
and you know, while this season is full of joy,
it is just also full of temptation. So when you
were taking calatrin, It's not only going to help you
lose the inches and the pounds, but it also helps
you make those better decisions because you do have less cravings,
you have more energy, You're not having the afternoon slump
(18:06):
or the crash because Caltrin's working with your body naturally.
So if you need a little bit of help, especially
this time of the year, Caltrin is gonna get you there.
The website is toploss dot com. There is a big
fallse sale going on right now with discounts on every
single month, So whether you have a little bit of
weight to lose or a lot of weight to lose,
it's a great time to get on.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Caldron Elizabeth Miller from top loss dot com and Caldron here.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I'm doctor jackstock Will at Forbidden doctor dot com, but
Forbidden Doctor dot com under education. I have many lengthy
prop podcasts regarding the heart and all kinds of conditions
with the heart from a nutritional point of view, and
it's you know, it's just simply this starvation. We starve
(18:59):
our hearts of the needed micronutrition it needs by eating
the standard American diet. Why was there no heart disease
before nineteen ten? Because the majority of the population, so
we didn't have grocery stores, and the majority of the
population lived off of farms and ranches or backyard gardens
(19:22):
or a backyard cow or whatever else we had, you know,
except in the inner cities Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
you know. The we had the inner city diseases back then,
like tuberculosis, which is caused by another form of malnutrition.
But we didn't have much heart disease because people were
(19:42):
still eating whole grains and eating animals. And when we
went to white bread and to white sugar, the heart
started losing the vital nutrition it needed for proper cardiac function,
and the heart started to starve to death. And so
(20:03):
it manifests that starvation and all of these symptoms, beginning
with elevated blood pressure. Why is your blood pressure go
up because the brain wants something it's not getting at
a lower blood pressure, so it's going to make the
heart beat harder. And then of course there's dietary things
(20:24):
that cause coronary occlusions and plaquing atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis that leads
to narrower passages for the blood to get through, and
so that causes a backup pressure that raises blood pressure. Again,
these are all diet created and this is the one
(20:45):
thing the heart industry does not want you to have
a very clear understanding of oh yes, eat hard healthy
foods like cheerios. I think it still says that on
the front of the package cheerios is junk, pure and simple.
Read the ingredients enriched white flower. Why do they enrich
(21:10):
white flower because the original enrichment that Mother Nature put
into the crane is removed in order to produce white flour.
The bran and the grain or the germ of the
weed has been removed, and that's where the nutrition is.
By the way, especially vitamin E, and vitamin E is
(21:30):
the principal vitamin of the heart. And I'm kind of
running out in the weeds here because i still want
to talk about this downward spiral progression for heart patience.
But you get the idea. Our hearts are starving to death,
and that's what changes the function of the heart. If
(21:53):
the heart's starving, the brain is starving. If the brain
is starving, the kidneys in the liver are starving, and
eventually some organ is going to start paying the price
for our nutritional choices. So when I talked about cardiac arrhythmias,
(22:15):
what they if it gets bad enough, they're going to
course more drugs, cardioversion, which is where they shock it.
And then that treatment doesn't usually work for the long
term because it's not addressing the long term problem with starvation,
so it ends up its natural successor is cardiaciblation. And
(22:36):
cardiaciblation will burn the nerve endings in the heart in
an effort to stop abnormal heart rhythm, often caused by
the prescription drugs that were employed earlier at the beginning
of the downward spiral, multiplied by the lack of nutrition
that the heart needs. And this is serious business. I mean,
cardiaciblation is often performed repeatedly, and it also rarely works
(23:02):
in the long term. And when it fails, then you
get more powerful drugs prescribed inside effects worse and more so.
And it's at this point that your condition might be
getting out of control and you may go into cardiac
arrest and have a heart attack, and if defibrillation is
employed in time, you might be saved, as was the
case of my brother. And so a badly weakened heart
(23:25):
now becomes apparent and more progressive and serious signs like
congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillations start showing up. And
at this point you are in serious trouble. And even
more powerful drugs such as amiodor owner prescribed, and these
drugs can kill you just by themselves. And then finally
(23:49):
they will implant a defibrillator into your chest. And now
your list of drugs will take up an eight by
eleven sheet of paper, and your life is in ruins.
You can barely walk to the bathroom. You hear murmurs
from your doctors about a heart transplant, and in most cases,
(24:13):
you continue on. Severe fluid balance problems resolve from your
weakened heart and the long list of prescription drugs. Your
lower limbs start swelling out like a dirigible because your
heart doesn't have enough strength to pump the fluid back
up through the kidneys so your kidneys can get rid
of all that water so your heart. The water builds
(24:35):
up in your lungs. You need constant visits to the
hospital to breathe. Your heart is now water logged. It's flaccid,
critically wheat twice its normal size and dropping down, hanging
low in your chest with cardiomegaly, and your life expectancy
at this stage is probably less than twenty four months,
(24:55):
and without some drastic change in your treatment protocol, a sudden,
deadly heart attack might actually be a blessing at this point.
But too many people, you know, end up suffering the
stroke that follows and then the paralysis, leading to full
time nursing care and more drugs. And this is just
(25:15):
a painful delay to the inevitable end. Now, I know
this sounds awfully dark and murky and terrible, but this
is the natural progression of not feeding your heart. So
where do you fit into this? And this is a
conversation I have with my patients all the time. Where
(25:37):
do you want to be? I mean, do you want
to be out of this syndrome? Then I tell them,
I tell my patients, if you want me to take
care of you, I'm not fooling around. I'm not going
to sugarcoat anything. I'm telling you the truth. You want
to survive, this is what you have to do. And
then they'll say, well, does that mean I can get
off my drugs? And I said, that's between you and
your cardiologist. I don't talk to you about your drugs.
(25:59):
I talk to you about feeding your heart, and that's it.
But when you start medical treatment, you know you're probably
you're not going to be told about this downward spiral
I just spoke of. But certainly all patients don't want
to end up that way, but a very high percentage
of people do. I don't want this for you, I
don't want it for me. I don't want it for
my brother. But you know, he says, yeah, he'll say, well, Jack,
(26:23):
come on, we grew up together. You're my brother, and
you don't know what my cardiologist knows. No, I don't
know what your cardiologist knows, but I'll tell you this
for damn sure. Your cardiologist doesn't know what I know.
So at the very first sign of heart problems, remember
one thing that the world's most famous nutrition expert that
(26:47):
ever lived in the last century, doctor Royal Lee, said,
more than eighty years ago. I guess it's more like
ninety years ago. The heart is the most responsive organ
in the human body to proper nutritional care. It's the
first organ to suffer from bad nutrition, but it's the
(27:10):
first organ to improve from good nutrition. And when you're
at this first stage, you want to begin the only
nutritional therapy that helps to rebuild your heart health, and
the treatment is the clinical application of phyto nutrients, foods
from plants, nutrients from plants or something that ate those plants,
(27:34):
and food concentrates and extracts. In other words, I use
phyto nutrient complexes with my patients that have been proven
for over eighty years to help people actually heal their
ailing hearts. Do they take this in conjunction with their medication?
(27:55):
Of course they do. Do they get to a point
where they don't need medicare Yes, But that's between them
and they're cardiologists. And the cardiologists are usually just stumped, stymied.
They don't know what to think when you start showing
greatly improved cardiac function. They want to blame it on
the drugs. So I would say the answer here is
(28:24):
to heal an ailing heart, and believe it or not,
this concept is simply unknown in the field of heart medication.
All the medical heart treatments discussed in this series, this
downward progression that I was talking about are treatments of
the symptoms, and their statistics tell us it doesn't work
(28:47):
for the long haul. So this is what I recommend.
If you have the ability to write this down. I
have said this on previous shows. I'm going to say
it again because the emails that I get are from
people driving in a car or in a situation where
they couldn't write this stuff down and they asked for
(29:08):
a clarification. Jack Stockwelloffice dot com. Jackstockwelloffice dot com. Then
I'll send it to you. Cardio plus one of the
most important things for the heart. They're little brown pills,
but their food concentrates they come from other nature. Six
(29:29):
to twelve a day of them, something called cataplex b
core anywhere from six to nine. This is for serious
heart problems. Am I treating heart problems? No, I'm not
treating heart problems. I'm feeding the heart so the heart
can deal with the problems itself. I'm not a cardiologist.
(29:54):
I do an awful lot of nutrition for the heart.
But you always do this in conjunction with your ardeologists.
You do not go behind their back. Something called chaosium
lactate about six to twelve a day of these, and
then there's organically bound minerals about three to six and
(30:16):
raw flax oil. I had my flax oil this morning.
I take what's called flax oil with B six, flax
oil with vitamin B six. I had mine this morning,
and then cod liver oil about two to six capsules
a day for your A and your D. And you
combine this type of protocol with a low carbohydrate Mediterranean
(30:41):
type diet. There's plenty of information out there on the
Mediterranean diet. There's a lot of diets out there, this
heart healthy diet, that heart healthy diet. This expert in
cardiology recommends this kind of a diet. There isn't anything
out and I've been through them all. I've studied them all.
I've looked at them all, and I mean all that
(31:04):
have any merit to them all. You can't beat the
Mediterranean diet. And interestingly enough, when you visit the Greek islands,
that's why they name this stuff after or Mediterranean coastal.
People who eat the Mediterranean diet have the lowest average
cardiology problems of Western Europe. The Mediterranean diet combined with
(31:32):
these supplements that I'm recommending, and I'm telling you, you
can literally reverse the downward spiral of heart disease. Now
we're going to come up to the end of the
program here shortly with Doug There are a lot of
podcasts about this at the Doug Stephan Good Day Health
Show dot com, Slash podcasts, and at Forbidden doctor dot com.
(31:56):
Under education a lot of podcasts on the heart. I'm

Speaker 1 (33:06):
Doug Steffan here with Good Day Health. Doctor Jack Stockwell
is on the air, and I'm wondering how many people
come to you when you, as a nooker chiropractor are
adjusting people's upper cervical spine. That is a result the
problem is a result of stress. What is the truth
about stress? There are good stresses, I have been told,
(33:30):
and then there are bad stresses and what that creates
in your body? And are there exercises that make it
better or do they make it worse?
Speaker 2 (33:40):
What is this is?
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Some people say stress are.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Great questions, Thank you, Yeah, great, great, great questions. I
can't think of a human being that is freely from stress.
From a newborn's that's hungry or wet, that's crying and stressful.
To let you know, there's a problem right up through
a child's first day in school, up through the poor
(34:05):
adolescent period when we go into the meat factory called
junior high school, or all the way up to the
end of high school when we have to figure out
what we're going to do after high school, and then
the college stress, and then the social stresses, and then
the marriage stress, and then the children's stress. Who is
free of stress? So we have built into our bodies
(34:29):
this beautiful what is known as a homeostatic meaning a
balance between the system in our nervous organization that speeds
us up and the one that slows us down. It's
you know, it's called the sympathetic and the parasympathetic, the
autonomic system. And when those things are working in a
(34:50):
balanced state, one man's stress can be another man's humor.
And the problem is a lot of our diets tend
to add a metabolic stress to the body on top
of the stresses that we run across in our immediate environment,
in our workplace at church, and our families at school, whatever.
(35:12):
And so the problem with stress is that stress releases
a hormone called cortisol. Cortisol comes out of the adrenals,
and cortisol is designed to try to get our metabolic
balance back into a balance state instead of kind of
(35:33):
where we're going about to lose our mind over something.
Cortisol helps to calm these things down, but cortisol is
also suppressive of the immune system. In other words, the
more stressful our lives are, the more we have a
tendency towards sickness and disease because our immune system is
simply suppressed by the presence of cortisol. And the more
(35:57):
we can eat the foods that Mother Nature may aid
as opposed to all of these super extra process things
that are being passed off as food, the more our
body has the natural elements and ingredients to help maintain
the system. Now you mentioned the work that I do,
the work that I do at the very top of
(36:18):
the neck. Just resetting the top bone in its proper
position has a direct effect on the hypothalamus gland. There
are nerve fibers in that area that ascend up through
the medulla, up through the midbrain, up through the ponds
right up into the hypothalamus. And the hypothalamus is the
center for speeding things up or slowing things down depending
(36:41):
on the situation we're in. If you open the door
and there's this rot wilder at your front door, frothing
at the mouth and trying to get in. Naturally, things
are going to speed up so that you can you
defend yourself or flee for your life or whatever. And
then there's also you know, just laying on the shore
with a with the seashore with the waves slowly lapping
(37:03):
up on your legs in some kind of a chase
lounge with the sunshine and some fruit or whatever you're eating.
In these moments, things slow way down. And so between
what I do structurally and trying to eat more of
what Mother nature made, especially tropical fruits, really helped to
(37:27):
do this. Also, green leafy vegetables have a lot of
potassium and other kinds of minerals, magnesium and things that
help to slow things down. Remember, the more we eat
closer to Mother Nature, the less problems we're going to
have with stress.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Well, what you've said to us in a nutshell, I
think is that it's not always bad for you. If
we had more time, we could talk about it. Kind
of stressed that shows up lawyers on suits for example,
that kind of stuff. We all have it, as you suggested,
and there's a good way of dealing with it. And
