Speaker 1 (00:00):
Doug Stephan here with my friend Elizabeth Miller. All right,
let's talk about something that's new. Everybody, listen up, because
this is going to help you a great deal. There's
a special deal while supplies last, and they're not going
to last long. Go to Doug Stefan dot com and
click on the Dougs deal button. It's a thirty day

(00:22):
supply of Caltron for thirty five dollars. That's a savings
of forty bucks because the usual price is seventy five.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yeah, we don't do this ever. And with Calatren teaming
up with Doug right now, Like he said, this offer
is only good through his website, you can always call
us too, and we will definitely still offer that to
you while those supplies are lasting. You can call eight
three three top Loft and just say hey, I've got
Doug's deal for thirty five dollars. I want that bottle,

(00:52):
and if we still have supplies, we will definitely give
that to you by phone two.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Do it now, Thanks, Elizabeth. It's the Good Day Health
Podcast with doctor Jack Stockwell, sponsored in part by Calendrin,
the safe, proven way to lose weight and keep it off.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
I'm doctor Jack Stockwell at forbiddendoctor dot com and very
grateful to once again be a contributor to the Doug
Stephan Good Day Health Show. And I always try to
present what I consider to be prescient, important, up to
date information, usually suggested by or requested by listeners of

(01:32):
my own radio show in the Salt Lake City area
as well as listeners to this program when this information
has passed on to me these requests. And I have
often made comments regarding the differences between commercial infant formula
and breast milk, because there is simply a growing number

(01:55):
of women who opt out of nursing their babies and
will use commercial milk instead. And I really haven't had
the time, probably for at least a decade, to where
I could go into it in greater detail, because I
usually just leave it with the basic explanation that we

(02:17):
know that in human breast milk, over three hundred different
ingredients have been discovered as a present in mama's milk
when her baby is born and ready to nurse, as
opposed to commercial infant formula that at most may have

(02:38):
thirteen or fourteen different ingredients. And it's not so much
the bad quality of these ingredients, they will keep baby alive.
There's a difference between keeping baby alive and making sure
baby is well nourished. It's what's not in the infant
formula that I've tried to impress upon new mothers to

(03:02):
really investigate and research this. Now, before I go into
this too far, I want to start off with the
idea that not all breast milk is created equally. Just
because you could pump the milk from the breast of
a half a dozen women who are nursing and in
the little bottles that they may be storing in the

(03:24):
fridge or wherever else so that they have extra milk
available when baby needs it, and you could look at
those six bottles and they'll all pretty much look the same.
Doesn't mean they all have the same nutritional content. And
so as I begin to talk about here are the
nutritional differences between commercial infant formula and breast milk, the

(03:45):
diet of the mother will influence the quality and the
quantity of mother's milk, just as what is placed artificially
in a can of commercial infant formula affects the nutritional
value of what is in that formula. What mama eats

(04:08):
and what makes up mama's diet will absolutely of course,
and I think it's only obvious influence the quality and
the quantity of mother's milk.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
So while a.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Container of baby formula is consistent, in other words, you
could take six cans of the same variety of infant
formula and do an intensive ingredient analysis and you're going
to find the same thing in all six of those cans.
Depending on mother's diet. Breast milk is not completely consistent.

(04:39):
So I always fall back on the teachings of doctor
Weston A. Price, who did this worldwide study. I've mentioned
them several times, the author of the book Human Nutrition
and Degeneration, and it's still in print. You can get
it an Amazon. It is the backbone of my nutritional
lung understanding. As he visited several different isolated indigenous tribes

(05:07):
around this planet, and whether they were in the Alps,
whether they were in the Arctic Circle, whether they were
in the Polynesian Islands, whether they were in Central or
South America. When these societies were isolated from Western culture,
when he examined their diets, they were almost always exactly
the same thing. Again, high in the Alps in Switzerland

(05:30):
above the Arctic Circle in Canada and the Alaskan area
with the Alaskan Inuit and the other Eskimo tribes. Their
diets were high in fat, animal fat, whether it came
from the meat or whether it came from the blubber
with the Eskimo, the seal and whale blubber, or whether

(05:51):
it came from the cattle high in the valleys of Switzerland,
they were all high in fat and a lot of meat,
and so doctor Price talked about the need for extra
nutrition during the formula the formative period of baby, because

(06:13):
the first year of life is so vitally important what
is going into the baby's body, because when baby's born,
it's not completely wired, it's not completely developed. There's organ
development to take place, there's a lot of wiring in
the central nervous system that still needs to be developed,

(06:33):
and as such it's critical what that baby's going to
get the first year of life. Now, if you're just
tuning in, I'm doctor Jack Stockwell at forbiddendoctor dot com
and I have a lot of podcasts on subjects like
this and other topics relative to the relationship between what

(06:54):
we eat and how our bodies operate. So Kristin Michalis,
who's the author of Beautiful Babies, said this, no matter
what you eat, they say, your breast milk will be perfect.
There's no other way to put it. Is bunk, pure myth.
She says, the more nutrient dense the mother's diet, the
more nutrient dense the mother's milk. We also know the

(07:16):
opposite is true. The less nutrient dense the mother's diet,
the less nutrient dense her milk, even though both samples
of both forms would look the same in the bottle.
So there's clear nutritional benefits to breast milk that I'm
going to summarize here really quick, but I want you
to keep in mind that the nutritional differences between commercial

(07:38):
baby formula and mother's milk will vary according to how
nourished she is. From can to can of the infant
or the commercial baby formula, they're all the same and
they're lacking serious ingredients that need to be in there.
Mama's milk one week could be different than the next
week based on what she's eating now. Sharon Perkins and

(08:01):
Carol Vinet have written an article where they compare formula
and breast milk and one of the differences that they
focus on is how breast milk is custom made nutrition.
This is what they said. I'm going to quote. Formula
and breast milk look very different. Formula is creamier, looks

(08:22):
richer than breast milk. This may lead you to believe
that formula is more nutritious for your baby, but that's
not the case. One of the amazing things about breast
milk is that your milk, especially formulated to have the
right composition for your baby and to contain exactly the
right amounts of nutrients. Bottle fed babies, or more precisely,

(08:44):
formula fed babies, receive the exact same nutrients every time
they eat. Breast Milk, on the other hand, continually changes
so that your baby gets what he or she needs
at any age. Now, specifically, I want to explain that closer,
because the first liquid, the colostrum. Let's just talk about

(09:06):
colostrum for a moment. The first liquid that the breast produces,
which actually starts a few months before the baby is born,
doesn't even look like milk. Colostrum is It's yellow, and
it's thicker than breast milk, and it's a great example
of how mama's body custom makes the right nutrition for
your baby at the right time. To hear's some of

(09:28):
the benefits. Colostrum has a very high concentration of antibodies,
especially IgA. It's an antibody that helps protect the lungs
and the throat and the intestines. And colostrum helps to
seal the permeable newborn intestines to prevent harmful substances from
penetrating the gut. So just as a newborn baby isn't

(09:52):
even going to start secondary sexual characteristics until they're twelve, thirteen,
fourteen years old, so we know that development is delayed
for a while, there's also other development that's taking place
even after birth, not the least of which is the
surface of the lungs, the surface of the gut, even
the surface of the skin. And colostrum helps the seal

(10:15):
that the lining of your gut is very similar to
the skin on the outside of the body, and it
needs to come together in a cohesive fashion to get
rid of all the little tiny holes that are in
there As a baby's developing in utero. Colostrum is very
high in concentrated nutrition. It has a laxative effect, which
helps baby pass the first bowel movement, and it helps

(10:36):
to prevent newborn jaundice. And colostrum is low and fat,
it's high in proteins and carbohydrates, and it's extremely easy
for a newborn.

Speaker 4 (10:46):
Baby to digest.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
So within a few days after delivery, a woman's body
begins to produce mature milk and that takes over the
work of giving her baby the necessary ingredients for health.
And colostrum is still present in mama's milk for about
two weeks, but the milk produced during this time is
what is known as transitional milk. And no matter what

(11:07):
animal it comes from, of mammals, milk contains the basic
nutritional elements of fats and proteins and carbohydrates and vitamins
and minerals. And speaking of fats, breast milk from a
well nourished mother is composed of hundreds of substances.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
As I said.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
Earlier, over one hundred kinds of fat alone. Now, fat
and cholesterol are very important components of human milk. In fact,
milk from a healthy mother has about fifty to sixty
percent of the energy in that milk as fat and
the cholesterol that's in human milk supplies an infant with

(11:49):
close to six times the amount most adults would consume
in their food as far as fat is concerned. And
when a woman has many children, here's a problem. When
she has many children, the level of fat in her
milk usually decreases with each succeeding child. Now, this isn't
going to happen if mom maintains a very high quality diet.

(12:11):
In some parts of the world, like China, a new
mother is given a diet that's very high in animal
fat that conclude as much as six to ten eggs
a day and almost ten ounces of chicken or pork
for at least a month after the birth of the infant,
and this diet ensures that the level of fat in
her milk is as high as possible.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
Some women.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Can produce milk that has a fat level very similar
to the Guernsey or Jersey cow, which is very high
in fat, and some produce milk that's more closely resembles
the whole steain cow, which is lower in fat. And
the higher the fat is more desirable, of course for
the developing infant, because there's several systems in baby's body
that needs that fat. Now, when we get back from

(12:55):
a break that's coming up right now. I want to
tell you about a study that was done of Danish
mothers as far as fat content was concerned. I'm doctor
Jack Stockwell at forbiddendoctor dot com.

Speaker 4 (13:06):
Will be right back.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
The nervous system, the mile in sheath, the coating that
goes over of the nerves, the mile and coated nerves,
that's all fat. Fat is necessary for energy stores inside
the baby because the baby isn't nursing constantly, and usually

(13:33):
a newborn after it nurses are going to go right
back to sleep. And that energy that that baby is
needing for its rapid growth that is taking place is fat.
Is the fat itself. Now, protein, of course, provides a
lot of energy. Protein in the milk provides the body,
the baby's body with the natural ingredients it needs for

(13:54):
the bone development and skin development and organ development. Is
all these things continue to grow bigger. But the energy
Mother nature has locked energy into fat. In a gram
of fat, there's more than twice the energy that's in
a gram of carbohydrate or a gram of protein. And
all these different fats have different roles to play in

(14:16):
baby's brain development, in baby's eye development, in baby's lung
and intestine development, even in baby's goatads, even though in
a little baby boy the testicles probably haven't descended yet,
and even in a little girl, if you don't know
their sex, sometimes it's very difficult looking at them to

(14:37):
know whether it's a boy or a girl without seeing
their genitals inside. That little girl is slowly starting to
become a girl. That little boy is slowly becoming a boy.
And it's the fat that is present in that mama's milk.
The right kinds of fat are very important that that
boy ends up a boy and that girl ends up

(14:57):
a girl. Now, study of milk from two hundred and
twenty four Danish mothers showed that they produced milk with
very wide range of fat content. The average amount of
fat was like thirty nine grams per liter of milk,
and the range was anywhere from eighteen grams to as
high as eighty nine grams per liter. And that's the

(15:18):
average equivalent of milk fat of four percent up to
nine percent, which means some babies would be getting the
equivalent of two percent milk, and that's horrible, and some
would be getting the equivalent of table cream, which is
the best with the average infant getting the equivalent of

(15:39):
whole milk from a Guernsey or Jersey cow. And studies
have shown that the average levels of fat of milk
in Canadian women is about three point two percent, and
the level of fat in different areas of Chinese women
could be anywhere from three percent up to four percent.
What's the difference. Well, when a lot of people have
this idea when they buy pasteurized milk in the store

(16:03):
that somehow two percent is better than home milk, because
they bought into this ridiculous scam of animal fat being
dangerous to the human body that we have been consuming
for thousands upon thousands of generations on this planet before
there was heart disease, when cancer was almost never seen
except occasionally. I don't want to go off in that direction.

(16:26):
I could easily get there when you look at the
difference in fat between commercial infant formula and breast milk.
In breast milk, it's loaded with the brain building Omega
three fatty acids, namely DHA and aracatonic acid, and it
automatically adjusts to baby's needs because as baby gets older,

(16:49):
these things get less and less because these same ingredients
are found in the solid food that baby starts to eat.
Breast milk is rich in cholesterol, and it's nearly completely
absorbed because it contains fat digesting enzyme lipays. Now I'm
going to compare that to what's in formula or what's

(17:10):
not in formula, because we're going to go to a
break here in a few moments, and when you, as
I said at the beginning of the show, my problem
with formula is not only the ingredients, it's what's not
in there that needs to be I'm doctor Jack Stockweld

Speaker 4 (17:26):
We will be right back.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Doug Stephan here with my friend Elizabeth Miller. All right,
let's talk about something that's new. Everybody, listen up, because
this is going to help you. A great deal is
a special deal while supplies last, and they're not gonna
last long. Go to Doug Stefan dot com and click
on the Doug's Deal button. It's a thirty day supply

(17:50):
of Caltron for thirty five dollars. That's a savings of
forty bucks because the usual price is seventy five.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah, we don't do it is ever, and with Calatron
teaming up with Doug right now. Like he said, this
offer is only good through his website. You can always
call us too, and we will definitely still offer that
to you while those supplies are lasting. You can call
eight three three top loss and just say hey, I've
got Doug's deal for thirty five dollars. I want that
bottle and if we still have supplies, we will definitely

(18:22):
give that to you by phone too.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Do it now, thanks, Elizabeth.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
But I tell you what's not in formula. We all
know about the essential fatty acids, how vitally they are
for proper brain function. That's why a lot of people
have are on fish oil supplements. One that I highly
recommend that's available at forbiddendoctor dot com is called tuna

(18:46):
Omega three comes from tuna livers the harvesting of wild tuna,
not farm to tuna. Wild tuna in the South Pacific.
Their livers are rich in DHA and epa, but mama's
milk is very high in DHA and arachadonic acid. And
as baby gets older, it's interesting that this rich concentration

(19:11):
of brain building fats gets a little bit less month
by month by month, as baby will eventually be weaned
mama's milk is rich in cholesterol. Every cell in your
body requires cholesterol. The skin needs it, your eyes need it,
your brain definitely needs it. That's another one of the
big scams in medicine that somehow cholesterol is an enemy.

(19:35):
When in the liver manufactures all the cholesterol you need.
But as baby's liver is still in development, mama's milk
is rich in cholesterol, and the fats that are present
require lie pays.

Speaker 4 (19:51):
It's a fat.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
Digesting enzyme to break down the fats so that there's
no load on babies developing intestines. Formula, there is no DHA.
Baby's formula does not adjust to infant's needs because baby
formula is the same from can to can to can,
regardless of the age of the baby. Baby formula has

(20:15):
no cholesterol in it whatsoever. Now you can imagine with
the cholesterol scam in this country and the fear that
people have of cholesterol.

Speaker 4 (20:25):
Oh, why would you give cholesterol to a baby?

Speaker 3 (20:28):
Can you imagine a can of infant formula there on
the aisle in the grocery store now has cholesterol. No,
no one would buy it unless someone was smart enough
to know baby needs cholesterol.

Speaker 4 (20:42):
So there's no cholesterol.

Speaker 3 (20:44):
The baby formula is not completely absorbed because a lot
of the material in there did not come from other
nature as obviously breast milk does. It's manufactured and laboratories,
and there's no liepays, there's no fat digesting ends that
will break down the fat. So fat is probably the

(21:05):
most important nutrient in breast milk. And when you have
the absence of cholesterol, and you have the absence of DHA,
just vital nutrients for that growing brain and body, it
might there is some indication that it could predispose a
child to adult heart and central nervous system diseases. And

(21:26):
leftover unabsorbed fat accounts for this, for the un the
smell that goes with the stool that we find in
the stool of a formula fat baby. In other words,
the poop that comes out of a breastfed baby doesn't
stink like it has a smell to it, of course,
but it doesn't stink as bad as a formula fat baby.

(21:50):
And then the proteins. I an't got to that yet.
The breast milk is described as soft, easy digestible way,
which is more completely absorbed and is higher in the
milk of mothers who deliver actually preterm, but breast milk
contains lactoferrin and that's important for intestinal health. It contains lysozyme,

(22:13):
which is an antimicrobial product. It's rich in the brain
and body building protein components. It's rich in growth factors.
It contains sleep inducing proteins. Commercial infant formula contains harder
to digest casine kurds the protein out of a cow

(22:35):
that's not completely absorbed because it's been processed before it
got into that can, so there's more waste and it's
harder on baby's kidneys. There's no lactoferrin the iron the
baby needs only just a trace amount, and there's no
lysiszone that helps its immune system to work. And the
commercial infant formula is deficient or low in some of

(22:58):
the brain and bodybuilding proteins, it's deficient in growth factors,
and it does not have nearly as many sleep inducing proteins.
Human milk is an incredibly complicated substance and it contains
According to Martha Nerringer, who is a clinical nutritionist at

(23:20):
the Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, she says it
contains proteins we haven't even identified yet, let alone discovered
its function. And then there's carbohydrates, and the breast milk
has higher carbohydrate content than commercially made formulas, and it's
rich in lactose, which is a sugar found in the

(23:40):
lower amounts in cow's milk. And not only is breast
milk rich in lactose, it also has high amounts of
illegal saccharides that are necessary for proper intestinal health. And conversely,
of course, there's no lactose in baby formula and it's
very deficient in the legal sacharides, and lactose is considered

(24:03):
a very important carbohydrate for brain development, and research shows
that the level of lactosees correlates with the size of
the brain of that species.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
Now there's vitamins and minerals. Vitamins and minerals, of course,
are better absorbed from breast milk, especially iron zinc calcium.
Iron is about fifty to seventy five percent absorbed. Breast
milk contains more selenium, which is an antioxidant, and the
synthetic vitamins and minerals in the commercial they made formulas
are not absorbed very well at all, and iron is

(24:38):
only about ten percent absorbed, and it contains less selenium
in a book that's called a nutrient by nutrient, Why
breast is best by doctor Sears, He says this the
vitamins and minerals listed on the formula can are no
match for those in the milk made by mom, even
if milligram by milligram compares, and suggest otherwise. When formula

(25:02):
researchers want to know how much of a particular vitamin
or mineral baby needs each day, they look first at
how much of that nutrient is present in human milk
and how much milk a baby at that age that
given particular age needs in a day. But just doing
the math doesn't tell the whole story. More important than
the amount of nutrient in the milk is the amount

(25:23):
that is available for the baby to use, a nutrient
principle called bioavailability, and the bioavailability of a nutrient is
influenced by many factors, including its chemical form and the
presence of other substances. The three most important minerals, calcium, phosphorus,
and iron, are present in breast milk at lower levels

(25:47):
than in formula, But in breast milk these same minerals
are present in forms that have higher bioavailability. So even
though there's less of that mineral in breast milk compared
to what's put in a can, the body is able
to absorb it much better because it has the transport
mechanisms in mama's milk to get that stuff into baby's

(26:11):
bloodstream as opposed to the commercial stuff. He says this
with formula, as little as four percent of the iron
is absorbed, and to make up the low by availability
of factory added vitamins and minerals, formula manufacturers raise the concentrations.
Sounds reasonable, right, If only half gets absorbed by the body,

(26:32):
then put in twice as much. Now baby's immature intestines
are required to dispose of the excess. I'm still quoting
from doctor Sealer sears. Meanwhile, the excess unabsorbed minerals, especially iron,
can upset the ecology of the gut. So when I
have a mother complaining of colic and the baby, and

(26:55):
she's given the baby formula, we have a very serious
concentration at their conversation at that point. And there's several
more here. I don't have time to get into as
far as the mineral absorption, but the immune boosting systems.
As doctor Joseph Mercola points out, quote, newborns are still

(27:16):
developing and do not have a mature immune system to
protect them from illness. Antibodies or immune molecules in mother's
breast milk are transferred to the baby, giving them immunities
to illnesses that mom is immune to. And the converse
is true. If your new born is exposed to a germ,
she will transfer it back to the mother while nursing,
and the mother's body will then make antibodies for that

(27:38):
particular germ and then transfer it back to the baby
at the next feeding. Just one of the incredible miracles
that nature has provided for us. So doctor Sears highlights
that the breast milk is full of millions of living
white blood cells per feeding, and it's rich in immunoglobulence,
and there's none of this stuff in commercial formula.

Speaker 4 (27:59):
It's a sin, a dead food. And so.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
Well, there's a couple more things I want to throw here.
The enzymes, because you need you need digestive enzymes like
lypasan amalase to break down the sugars and the fats
that are in mama's milk. There are hormones mama's milk
is rich in many hormones, thyroid hormones, prolactin, oxytocin, more

(28:25):
than fifteen others, and processing that goes into into a
infant formula kills these hormones. And they weren't even human
to begin with because they were made in a laboratory.
And breast milk contains trip to fan. We all know
around Thanksgiving or Christmas whatever, when we have a nice
big dose of turkey, as soon as that turkey meal

(28:48):
is over with, we got to go look for a
place to go to sleep because turkey meat is high
and triped to fan and it's asleep inducing amino acid,
and more so in the evening than at other times.
And it is abbs absolutely loaded in breast and mama's
breast milk, which is why usually after a breastfeeding baby.

Speaker 4 (29:06):
Wants to go to sleep.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
Breast milk is just a cocktail of potent hormones and
growth factors. Some who are only beginning to understand, now,
what if you can't breastfeed, Well, that's a very good
point of Sylvia Anusik in her article The Scandal of
Infant Formula, she said this infant formula is primarily composed

(29:28):
of sugar or lactose, dried skim milk, refined vegetable oil,
which can include genetically modified components. Organic formulas made of
basically the same ingredients, but they're not genetically modified. Soy
based formula is made of soy protein, sugar, and refined oils,
and there have been over twenty infant formula recalls since

(29:50):
nineteen eighty involving these kinds of ingredients. So there is
no FDA regulation of infant formula. Proof of safety is
left to the manufacturers. Now, I recommend unpasteurized donor milk
from a well nursed mother if you can't breastfeed. Some
mothers have family members that are nursing. They have members

(30:14):
of the neighborhood that are nursing who are just Jersey
cows themselves and will gladly donate milk. Now, the concern
we have about human milk banks in the United States
is that that milk has been pasteurized, and because it's
been pasteurized, it's destroyed enzymes, vitamins, probiotics, which is even

(30:38):
more of a concern for infants because many of the
essential immune building components will be killed in the pasteurization process.
Just as when you pastorize cow's milk, most of what's
vital in cow's milk has been destroyed by the pastorization process.
Breast milk is meant to be eaten straight from the breast,
and there is research showing the pastoration compromises that nutritional value.

(31:03):
So there is Sally Fallon and you can get this
at Amazon her books Nourishing Traditions and Nourishing Traditions Book
of Baby and.

Speaker 4 (31:15):
Childcare by Sally Fallon F A L L O N.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
That's all you need to search on Amazon to get
these great books that go into much greater depth about
what I'm talking about. We're coming up here towards the
end of the program. I'll be joining Doug here shortly
and to continue with the rest of the show. I
am doctor Jack Stockwell at forbiddendoctor dot com. I'm so

(31:43):
happy to be a part a regular part of the
Doug Steff and Good Day Health show. Stick around and
I'll be joining Doug here short When you see.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
He's your favorite, he's good chiropractor. He's a nuka chiropractor
as a matter of fact, which means that he specializes
on your shoulders and your neck the epracervical area to
make you feel like your hole again. And he also
as a gaps practitioner. That's why when he talks about
things like E coli when we are last podcast at
Good Day Healthshow dot com was pretty much an overview

(32:17):
our conversation anyway of the various kinds of ecola, various
bacteria around E coli, and salmonella and listeria. So we
move ahead in our conversation this week to talk about
the essence of internal nocturnal leg cramps. We've talked about
this before. When I just came across some stuff that

(32:40):
basically underscores what you're supposed to take, I thought i'd
give you the give you the opportunity to go through
the standard process products that you have at forbiddendoctor dot
com that help, because this is something that I read
because I'm having a lot of myself. I guess it
is self serving, but I went online and it's amazing

(33:02):
many people who are our age are going through this
and it seems simple to fix. Although I've taken I
don't know what the vitamin bees that you have a
standard process. How is it all of the vitamin bees
because there are a bunch of them, right, a lot
of them.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
Well, they've suggested that bees could go into the forties
by now wow, because there's so many variations of them,
we just think of up through B seventeen, which but
B twelve I think is.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
The last one.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
People really talk about vitamin B twelve because it's so
important for red blood cells and for energy. But the
thing about the muscle crabs, you know, when, what are
the ways in which they can determine a corpse time
of death if you get to them before too terribly long,
is when rigor mortis sets in. It's when the muscles

(33:55):
get very very stiff, and you can't move the joints
or anything. And then after a little while longer, rigor
starts to disappear, and then all of a sudden, the
corpse you can move them around. The thing that it's
involved with rigor is the calcium that's still stuck in
the muscle cells, and your muscles cannot contract, nor can

(34:15):
they relax properly without sufficient calcium deep in what are
called the calcium channels that are in muscle tissue, and
the calcium moving in and out of these channels is
what allows you to lift a cup of your herbal
tea up to your mouth and a drink and to
put it back down, or to control the steering wheel
or anything else. The constant contraction relaxation of muscles that

(34:38):
requires calcium. Now, when the calcium doesn't move correctly, muscles
will lock up and have a hard time relaxing. And
that's where when you mentioned the standard process products. Calcium
lactate is a form of calcium your body readily absorbs.
The most common form out there is calcium carbonate, which

(34:59):
is just limestone and it's very cheap to make, but
it's very difficult for your body to absorb it. So
I tell my patients with restless legs or cramps, whether
in the day or in the middle of the night,
and the middle of the night seems to be the
worst time. You're going to take a few of these
calcium lactate about a half an hour before you go
to bed. And then you need a transport mechanism that

(35:21):
moves the calcium, and that is essential fatty acids in
the form of a product called cataplex F. It stands
for vitamin F. There's no longer a vitamin F. They
just still refer to it as that because they found
out they were essential fatty acids. So my patients that
will take about a half a dozen cataplex F and

(35:43):
a half a dozen calcium lactate about a half an
hour before they go to bed usually in most cases
will see the elimination of restless legs and cramps in
the middle of the night. I myself do that. I
can't remember the last time I had a cramp. And
actually I'm seventy four as of today, and I.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
To you, thank you, and I have similar birthdays.

Speaker 3 (36:08):
My birthday, Yeah, you're coming up here pretty soon.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
Yeah I am next week.

Speaker 4 (36:12):
You're coming up next right, we're buying.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
So how much is too much when it comes to calcium.
I remember us having this conversation. I remember talking about
it with others as well. There is such a thing
as too much calcium for your system.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Is especially the wrong form of calcium, especially the wrong form.
Calcium and phosphorus balance one another, and the ideal of
combination is about five parts calcium to three parts phosphorus.

Speaker 4 (36:41):
And what's what's really.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
Important is to make sure those are balanced. And if
you follow what I said there earlier about calcium lactate,
and Cataplex, both available at forbiddendoctor dot com. You're going
to see an elimination of those muscle cramps.

Speaker 4 (36:55):
All right.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
There we go at forbiddendoctor dot com. That's where Jack
hanks his hat at least online. And so this is
good advice. Hopefully you'll all take it. Goodday healthshow dot
Com is where you can find the podcast, and lots
of great radio stations around the country are carrying Good
