Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss the biggest news stories in the medical world, starting with a targeted itch-relief for the various types of bee/wasp/hornet stings, raising the question of what is in bee/hornet/wasp venom that causes pain, itching, as well as the more severe allergic reactions that can lead to anaphylaxis.
Next up, new research linking prenatal exposure to acetaminophen (like in Tylenol) with Autism and ADHD and why some medical professionals are pushing back.
Then, Doug and Dr. Ken continue the pain-reliever conversation and the benefits of routinely taking low-dose Aspirin, but the importance that a routine like this should be done under a doctor’s supervision as there can be adverse effects if you are not someone that needs to be taking low-dose Aspirin regularly.
Moving on, the focus shifts to brain injuries and how it affects young athletes, college-age and younger, with early neuron loss and CFE’s. It’s a finding that highlights long-term risk associated with sports, like football and soccer, leading to new guidelines for player safety and concussion protocols.
More warnings on pregnancy and cannabis use, as use has climbed due to wider legalization and social acceptance, with many turning to marijuana to curb morning sickness and pregnancy pain symptoms.
Lastly, new research explains a phenomenon how exercise suppresses appetite through a previously-unknown molecular pathway, questioning why bugs bite us, and the latest on the screwworm.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
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. I'm with doctor Ken Cronhouse.
Lots of public institutions, private institutions. People are going to
do research and then the reports go into the medical journals.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
And then Ken.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Looks at him and he says, Okay, this has made
a great conversation for us on the air, and so
away we go. I'm looking at a box. The box says,
after bite, it's targeted its relief for the eight beastings,
maybe nine.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I was in a field. Most people know where. I
hope they know. Maybe if they don't know, I'll tell them.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I am a farmer in addition to being a broadcaster
and several other things.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
And last night I was chopping corn for my cows.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Drove into the field, drove over bees ness because the
bees are in the ground it's so dry, and they
are the worst kind, yellowjackets, and they attacked me and
get stung nine times my neck, my arms, my back,
my stomach, my legs, my butt. So I got this
after bite. To try to get rid of the itch,
I've tried benadryl, on it. Actually took a Benda drill
(01:10):
pill last night so I could go to sleep.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Can it didn't work. I haven't slipped.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Two winks in the last of twenty four hours. And
so I wonder about the things that you can do
of anything. The one thing that a lot of people
worry about, who may be allergic to bee stings if
they'd had even one. I remember my stepmother had a
real allergy and she got bitten once and they had a.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Rushed to the hospital because she got all swollen up.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
So what is there about bee stings?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
B venom?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Is it poisonous? Why does it hurt so much and
itch so much? Maybe that's a good question for those
of you. The reason this is sort of a public
service because this time of year bees are everywhere, I
mean everywhere.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
So what do you say, ken, What do you think?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
What do I think? You need a doctor?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I need a doctor.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
You're a doctor, really, so beastings. Let's talk about beast things.
Most of the problem is the allergic reaction to it.
I hope that you were very immediately. You want to
stay calm, yes, because you know, just getting all worked
up can push the venom deeper into the body, and
(02:25):
that is not good. Do you remove the stingers?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
No, I couldn't get into the skin, Like I'm looking
at my wrist right now and I can't. I can
sort of see it, but it's right on a vein,
and then the rest stuff on my back I couldn't
get at so and the one on my upper elbow,
I can't see it.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I can just feel it. So the answer is no.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
So the sooner you remove the stinger, the less venom
is released. And there's venom. The reason why you're asking
why there's a reaction, there's actually venom, poisonous venom in
those stingers. There's allergic reactions, and people have various levels
of allergies to the venom. That's why some people react
horrendously and need the emergency room, and some people it's
(03:12):
no big deal. But the quicker you get the stinger
out the better. You don't want to use a tweezers
or squeeze the stinger because this will actually push more
venom into your body. You want to try to scrape
it out with a blunt object like a credit card,
a dull knife, even your finger nail, and then wash
(03:34):
the area thoroughly soap, and water to clean the wound
dug and help prevent infection. I hope you've done that.
Following up, what else? Cold compresses, placing ice pack or
cold cloth on the sting site can help. Even continuing
to do that help reduce the swelling. Are the areas
(03:55):
getting infected or swollen?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
No, I don't think there's any infection. It's just that
the stingers are there and the itch.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Is beyond See, you may need some pain relief, addil motrin,
that sort of thing, or a set of benefit which
we will probably talk a lot about. Hopefully you're not pregnant,
so that'll be okay. Some topical creams I don't know
if you have some calamine lotion, anti histamine, cordic steroid creams.
(04:24):
All these sorts of creams are used to reduce the swelling.
If you have a big allergic reaction on oral antihistamine
like what you've done benadryl, it can help relieve itching
and swelling. You've already taken that I have. Hopefully you'll
be awake for the show. And also is the stingers
(04:49):
on the arms of the.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Legs, Well, they're on my arms, legs, back, neck.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
All over the place, because is there swell, if there's
swelling on the arms or legs, off an ellen vational
help that initially not.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Too much of that, but no.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
You know, there are some home remnities that have been
used in the past, you like apple side or vinegar, honey,
baking soda, paste has been tried to put on these things.
But fortunately it sounds like you haven't had anaphyl axis.
This is a severe allergic reaction to beest things. This
is when you need help getting to the ER nine
(05:26):
to one one. You can't breathe. You have huge swelling
on the face, lips, and tongue or throat making it
hard to breathe, dizzy, feinting, rapid weak pulse, nausey, vomiting, diarrhea,
all these can be parts of severe allergic reactions to
what we call anaphyl axis to beest things. They really occur.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
All right, well, I'm going to try the apple side
of vinegar in some of the paste stuff that you
were talking about.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
That's good advice, good for everybody. As I said, bees
are everywhere this fall. They're very very prominent. Can ten
many beasts. Bee nests we've had to take down on the.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Farm and the only way to get rid of them
is at night you burn them.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
They are so home home remedies that you again, let
me repeat because you like the home remedies that have
been shown to actually neutralize the acidic reaction from the
be venom. Let me just mention them to you again.
Applying honey or apple cider vinegar or baking soda paste
(06:29):
to the sites have been shown to help with some
of the symptoms. Some of the home remedies that have
been used over the years.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
All right, let's pause for a moment, and then we're
going to get to our list with speaking about some
of the things that will make pain go away, like
tail and all. We have some new research on that
and how it can be used. That's coming up next
here on Your Day Health, Doug Stefan with doctor ken Kronhouse.
Staying connected and keeping your family safe, it's a top priority,
(06:55):
I think probably for most, if not all parents.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Hopefully so.
Speaker 1 (06:58):

Speaker 1 (07:33):
I'm Doug Stephen and she's not. She could be Elizabeth Miller. However,
as a matter of fact, she is.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Elizabeth Miller.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Is one of the great reasons for going to toploss
dot com and engaging in the work of calitrin getting
that weight off the natural way.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
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. It is that's oup for tien hundred
thous and happy customers. So I know we've just helped
people all over the United States lose weight. So if
you go to toploss dot com you'll see the counter
and sell right there. But we do also like dougs
(08:11):
that 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. And then of course
Doug has the promo code. If you use the promo
code Doug, that's going to say you own shipping on
all orders.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Elizabeth Miller from the folks at Calendar Trend.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Thanks Elizabeth.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
All right back with doctor Ken. Let's talk about this
research being done that links tail and all and the like,
things like autism ADHD. A lot of that conversation because
of aspirin and things. There's a question that has come
up with the mister Kennedy from the Department of Health
(08:52):
and Human Services about this probably new presentation.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
So what do we have on this Ken Doug review
you of forty six forty six studies has found evidence
linking prenatal exposure to acetamnifin the most common way people
get it.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Is in tail and All, but it's not the only way.
Any of the over the counter medications you can easily
get in the drug store or the grocery store if
it's for pain make sure you see if there's acetamnifin
in it. These forty six studies DOUG highlight a higher
risk of autism and ADHD. The findings have prompted the
(09:34):
FDA to consider adding a warning to thailanol's label, though
some so called experts are pushing back, citing a lack
of definitive causal evidence and DOUG this highlights a controversial
and important area of research, and in fact, just in
the last couple of days, the World Health Organization said,
(09:57):
studies looking at the use of acet of mini during
pregnancy and the rate of autism and children, are you ready,
We're inconsistent. So this sounds too much to me like
what we went through with COVID nineteen. And I just
am concerned that politics is interfering with good science and
(10:18):
good thought because it sure sounds like forty six studies
and one of the major review of all this was
done at the Harvard School of Public Health, hardly a
bash of a place that loves our current administration.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Right, Well, this goes to show you're right with politics.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
We don't talk about politics on this program, but there
are politics that are involved in this for sure, and
the idea that there are other things that we can
look at that linked time and all the other things.
Some people confuse tail and all advil, the leaves of
(10:56):
the world with aspirin, and they aren't the same thing.
They do the same things, but they aren't the same.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Is that correct.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Let's put the nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drugs on one side,
which are the leaves, the motrens, the aspirin, and let's
put it thilanol or acetamnifin on the other side, and
you really have to separate them into nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drugs.
It's a mouthful of which aspirin is a part of
(11:22):
that group, motrin, advil, the rest of them. Aspirin has
a unique additional property that it affects platelets, decreasing the function.
Why it's so helpful in my area of the heart.
But on the other side is the cedamnifin, which is
a whole different group of pain relieving products, thilanol being
the most popular among them.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
All right, okay, so you have that to think about
and perhaps take the politics out of it. There's so
much of that around now we don't seem to be
able to get a clear picture on anything anymore. Up next,
speaking of aspirins, we have some.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I think the inference.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Here is clear on what low dose aspirin does and
it's not just about taking care.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Of the heart.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
We'll have that next here on Good Day Health. Here
we are back on Good Day Health.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
So we were talking about the link between thail and
all and autism or ADHD, and now we mentioned aspirin
in that conversation, trying to differentiate between the nonstruidal anti
inflammatory drugs and the aspirins that are there. So you
have had me on a low dose aspirin for a
(12:38):
long time, and I will tell you the last time
I had This may.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Be too much information, but I'll share it.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Anyway, The last time I had a rectal exam the doctors,
I think I told you this. The doctor said, oh,
you're a great shape. You're so pink, and he wanted
to know if I was on an aspirin routine. I said, yep,
I'm a low dose aspirin and he said.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Well, that's what does it.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
So this seems to enter into the conversation that this
latest journal has on the connection between an aspirin, low
dose aspirin and coorectal cancer.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Can right, And this is a report this week from
the British Medical Journal. But first, before we get into it,
I would just want to stress that even low dose
eighty one milligrams of asper in a day, also called
baby aspirin, these are drugs. I would not recommend that
anyone on their own regularly take low dose aspirin. You know,
(13:36):
if you take a single aspirin occasionally, That's not what
I'm talking about. I'm talking about what Doug just said,
taking even low dose aspirin on a regular basis. Don't
do it without talking to a physician, because even low
dose aspirin can have serious side effects in the wrong person,
(13:58):
especially bleeding in the body, which you want to avoid.
So and this is a decision that a thoughtful doctor
who knows you needs to make. Whether the risk outweigh
the benefit, whether the benefits outweigh the risk. What's the
risk of doing it versus the risk of not doing it?
And what we learned this week more benefits in the
(14:19):
right groups of people in taking low dose that eighty
one milligrams of aspin each day. Again out of the
British Medical Journal. It's a new study. It found that
this load daily dose of aspirin actually has. That's huge
the recurrence of colorectal cancer, so in people who have
already been diagnosed with coorectal cancer, recurrence is a big
(14:43):
problem as we all know, and this was a way
to pretty simply decrease that likelihood by fifty percent.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Wow, fifty percent.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
So it should be taking the aspirin like again, you
have had me do that. I don't know that I've
felt her or realize that there's any negative impact. And
because my checkups with you every year and my other
medical checkups don't lead me to believe that this is
something that's anything but good.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I mean, we're missing anything.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Again. It's a drug like any other drug, and whenever
we prescribe a drug, every single drug has a huge
amount of benefits. We hope in a little bit of
poison in it, and we have to decide whether the
benefits outweigh the risks. What's the risk of taking it
versus the risk of not I don't know we going forward,
we'll talk about your hip of why you're on it,
(15:36):
but certainly in you the benefits outweigh the risks.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
All right, we'll continue with doctor Ken. I'm doctor Doug.
He's got a license side don't. Well, I got a license,
but nothing medicine. But it's fun to be here with
you and to go through all this great information every
week for your benefit. I'm Doug Stephan and she's not.
She could be Elizabeth Miller. However, as a matter of fact,
she is.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Elizabeth Miller.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Is one of the great reasons for going to top
loss dot com and engaging in the work of Calitron
getting that weight off the natural way.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Caltron is different than everything else up there because it's
really good for you. It's actually drug free, stimulant free.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
So it's good for you.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
We've been helping customers since nineteen ninety seven. It's that's
over for two hundred thousand happy customers, So I know
that we've 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
(16:36):
you that will also have some special pricing on there.
And then of course Doug has a promo code if
you use the promo code, Doug. That's going to save
you on shipping on all orders.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Elizabeth Miller from the folks at cald Trin.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Thanks Elizabeth.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Back with doctor Ken Cronhaus Doug Stefan the reversal of
old thoughts, and we find that science does that. One
of the things we've been talking about was low dose
asprin and its impact on your colon. And I take
it because Ken thought I would be better off taking
it because it'll keep my blood thin, no chance of
a clot, that sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I wonder. I don't think I've ever asked you this.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Well, let's let's let's let's be a little more specific,
because we don't want to mislead people. We no longer
use low dose aspen just you know, as a primary preventative.
You know, I passed a certain age and I'm just
going to take a load dose aspen so I can
prevent a heart attack or stroke. We don't do that anymore.
(17:32):
We really think it out. It should be thought out
on an individual basis, because there is some risk to
long term even low dose aspiren, especially a risk of bleeding.
And you're not taking it, Doug, just because oh, we
thought it would be better for you. There's a specific reason,
and if you want me.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
To go into it, I think, yeah, no, that's a
good idea.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Well, you know, we have seen in you the development
accumulation of plaque in your carotid artery. It's very apparent
and we're trying to lower the risk of you having
a stroke. And if we didn't see that plaque in
your carotid arteries, we wouldn't even be thinking about that.
(18:16):
And that's why for you specifically, and it's very similar
in the heart for before you've after you've had a
heart attack. We know there's huge benefits to giving daily
low dose aspin, but it's not that clear in those
who haven't yet had their first heart attack whether they
(18:39):
should be on any low dose aspirin every day because
of the risks of bleeding. But when we see plaque
in the coronaries, that's a huge reconsideration about hey, maybe
that patient should be on a baby as for in
a day before they had their heart attack, because the
(19:01):
studies that show we shouldn't do that excluded the people
who had any plaque in their coronary arteries, and then
we need to look at the risk profile of having
a heart attack. This is a very difficult decision. You
go back ten or more years, it was pretty easy.
People were popping it on their own, a daily low
dose aspirin to prevent a heart attack or stroke. And
(19:23):
we now know that that's not a good idea to
do it on your own.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Well, the circumstances for mine, as you explained. One wonders though,
now that I'm on a path. I had your suggestion
do I need the aspirin for the purpose that you
just explained, because I think during the course of you
trying to convince me to take it, one of the
things you said was that it would be good to
help break up the forty percent blockage they have in
(19:50):
my carotis or something like that.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I don't know if I said that. What I've said
to you in the past is there's no DRAINO, and
you know you're eager to to get rid of those plaques.
I've said, if you get the LDL usually under sixty
there can be a little bit of reversal, maybe up
to eleven percent, but there's unfortunately no DRAINO. What we
(20:14):
want to do is stabilize those plaques, and by getting
the LDL, cholesterol, the inflammatory markers. Also for the circulation
real low. We can stabilize those plaques and that's really
the goal, to lower the risk of especially a heart
attack and even a stroke.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yep, all right, Hopefully that information is helpful for those
of you who are in need of attention when it
comes to that sort of thing. And the only way
you're going to find out if your need is either
to have an event happen or have your yearly physical
with a good, reliable doctor. That seems to me to
be the most intelligent way to do things. People say, wow,
I don't have insurance, I can't afford it. Well, I
(20:57):
guess depends on your priorities much as anything else. And
I mean this to sound like a lecture. But you
care about your own health and well being. You have
a family, you have children, grandchildren, you enjoy your life,
then perhaps it's worth the investment. If you don't have
the right insurance to get it done, if you don't
value all those things and you think I don't really
want to stick around here, then help yourself to ignorance,
(21:20):
because that's kind of what it is.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
And I don't mean that in a pejorative sense, what
is it?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I know what I don't want to know, and that's
the way some people look at it. So that's okay,
this program is probably not for you.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
If that's the.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Way you feel about your health and your well being,
I would say that advisedly.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Next up a couple of items that have to do
with your brain. There are some new insights into brain injury,
especially as it affects young athletes high school, college age,
right Ken, or even maybe younger.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Right Doug. This cut was published this week in medical
journal Neurology. It's a significant study, hugely funded by the
National Institutes of Health, and it's revealed that repeated headed
packs can actually cause early neuron loss. These are the
cells in the brain and inflammation in the brains of
(22:15):
young athletes, even before the development of what we've talked
about before, this chronic traumatic and cephalopathy or CFE, which
is what the football players after you know they've played
football a while getting diagnosed with. So this finding highlights
the long term risks associated with sports like football and soccer,
(22:37):
and it could lead to new guidelines for player safety
and concussion protocols. Very important finding.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Okay, all right, it is important that's right, and so
let's as we're in this pew, if you will, down
this alley, let's talk about some of these recent developments
the business. I can't pronounce this a drug and what
it does for certain deficiencies in your cerebral area. Right
(23:09):
you pronounce it?
Speaker 2 (23:11):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I think you're talking about luca orn.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yes, there you go, yepka, luca oran sounds like an aston.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
So let's talk about luca of orn and so called
cerebral folate deficiency because you're going to be hearing a
lot about this as we talk about trying to treat autism.
There's a connection here to autism, and this is going
to be in the news lot. There's been a significant
(23:40):
recent news DOUG regarding the FDA and a drug called
luca of orn. It's a form of folate acid, a
pholinic acid to be exact, and this development is a
major news step. But it's not a broad approval for
all autism. That's what's very important. So what is it, Doug.
(24:04):
The FDA has initiated the process to approve this new
indication for luca oorum calcium tablets. This is a treatment
for cerebral folate deficiency. It's a neurologic condition where the
brain has low folate levels despite normal levels in the blood.
That's very important. So you might measure in your blood tests,
(24:26):
as you have DOUG in the past, your folate level
and it's normal, and it doesn't tell us that the
level in the brain is normal. So what's the connection
to autism, DOUG. Some children with autism have been found
to have this cerebral folate deficiency, and studies have shown
that luka of orin can help improve speech and communication
(24:48):
skills in this specific subset of patients. And this is
the first FDA recognized therapeutic for a condition directly linked
to some case of autism, So it is a breakthrough.
It provides a new targeted treatment option for children who
have both autism and a confirmed FOLLY deficiency in the brain. However,
(25:11):
it's not a cure for autism and may not be
effective for all individuals on the spectrum. So it's a
major breakthrough, but not for everybody.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
So under the circumstances, thinking about what people are told
and the reality of the discussions around ADHD, someday this
is again an editorial comment, when the research is done
that actually proves without a doubt the suggestion that things
like tail and all and the other things that are
(25:43):
in that area would have caused autism. It seems that
because the numbers have gone as high as they have,
it's really hard to come up with another explanation for
unless is something in the water. And so that's why
I I cautioned people who are.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Can I make a comment? Can I make a comment
on this? Because I don't think the dramatic increase in autism.
I don't think is just related to our diagnostic abilities,
because the increase is dramatic, and yes, we're diagnosing it
(26:23):
more because we're better at diagnosing it. But I think
it goes beyond that. And an interesting fact that I
heard discussed by a scientist in this area is, you know,
in Cuba, Cuba, there's almost a set of menafin used,
and in Cuba there's almost no autism. I found that
(26:47):
to be an interesting statistic.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Yep, there you go. Speaks for itself.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
All right, we continue in a matter of moments. Here
we're on it. There's an interesting new exercise news, a
bit of news about exercise that I think you'll find
very positive. If I want to talk about something else
that's positive, and that's using Caltron to lose weight and
keep it off. Caltron is spelled c l O tren.
(27:12):
If you look it up. You've never heard me talking
about it before. It's pretty simple. Just go to you
can put it into the search bar caltrin or top
loss dot com, which is the website explaining all of
the benefits of the program. There are some people who've
taken it and sometimes it doesn't work, not very often,
(27:32):
but because eighty six percent of the people who've been
on this for the past twenty seven twenty eight years
in that time period have lost weight and kept it off,
that's pretty remarkable success story when you think about it.
So find out how the program works for you. I
have to do is go to top loss dot com and
ask for a counselor and you'll be contacted by somebody
will help you through with what you buy and how
(27:55):
you use it. And speaking of that, every weekend there
are specials that you can have by going to top
loss dot com on the product using doug on all
of the orders over fifty bucks. You get the very
very best deal and you also get free shipping as well.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
So now that fall.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Is here a time for you to focus on you
as we get into the eating season, as it were.
So if you go to top loss dot com right now,
you can see the essence of what I'm looking at.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
A customer success story. Right now.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Somebody in Kentucky who listens to us, her name of Susan,
said court, I started using calitrin a few months ago.
I lost eleven pounds without changing anything. My joint stone
ache like they did. I actually wake up with energy again.
I feel like a new person.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
All right, So you want to get into this success
all you have to do is right now go to
top loss dot com and you get ten dollars off
every bottle you buy using the Doug Coach. Stock up now,
save and step into the season. But America's number one
choice for a healthyweight loss Calitrin at top loss dot com.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
We have a quickie here. Ken.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I know that you were always focusing on the use
of cannabis and why anybody would be dumb enough to
use it during pregnancy, who knows. But here's some more
warning for those of you who might think about doing that.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Right this week from the American College of Obstetricians and gynecologists. Doug,
Pregnant people should stay away from cannabis, and doctors should
ask all patients about its use before, during, and after pregnancy.
These are new guidelines from the American College of Obstetrics
and Gynecology. The recommendations come as cannabis use during pregnancy
(29:38):
has climbed in America following wider legalization and social acceptance.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Doug, Yeah, I mean, there's just there are plenty of reasons.
I guess that some people find to use it and
it helps a lot of people who are in pain
as they're older, and I think that that kind of
stuff is not what we're talking about, talking about recreational
use of this and what it leads to.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Two.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
You're listening to Good Day Health with doctor Ken Crownhouse.
I've Doug Stefan.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Dug some new research out of Baylor and Stanford. This
was reported this week and it may explain a phenomenon
that many of us, I think happens in our own bodies.
This new research, it's hovered how exercise suppresses appetite through
a previously unknown molecular pathway. There's a newly discovered compound.
(30:37):
It's a mouthful it's called lack fee lac pH. It's
produced during intense workouts and directly quiets hunger neurons the
brain cells in the brain. So these workouts that you
do is just another good way to help you lose
weight by helping the appetite areas of the brain calm down.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Let's talk about we have pretty much every week some
segment or some question about AI. This question has to
do with blood work and what happens when let's say
we go to QUEST is that they are they using
AI now when you get your blood tested.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Well, it's hopefully it's going to be there very shortly,
but it's still being done in the research centers, but
I think it will be getting to est quests uses
a little bit. But this what I'm about to talk
about is kind of the cutting edge, which we'll get
to QUEST shortly. But it's a new AI powered analysis
(31:41):
DOUG of routine blood tests. It's been shown to reveal
hidden patterns that can predict recovery and survival after spinal
cord injuries. This technology DOUG could make life saving predictions
more available and affordable in hospitals. The break through shows
the growing role of artificial intelligence and diagnostics and prognostics.
(32:06):
So it's not yet at quest, but it'll be there soon.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Earlier in the program, I talked about my beastings getting
stung by eight or nine bees last night, and it
brings up the question with some thinking about things that
bite us. Why the bees bite us, Why the mosquitoes
bite us? Why bugs find us attractive as humans? So
what is it that if you want to talk about
(32:29):
mosquitoes in general? I think the bee population, at least
the ones that I encountered last night. I ran over
their in ground nest and that's what stirred them up
to come after me. But you know, we all have
that mosquito thing that we've been exposed to in some way,
shape or form in some part of the country all
(32:49):
of our lives. So why do they want to come
and bite us?
Speaker 3 (32:53):
There was a publication out this week bioarxiv dot org
an interesting study which came out of a music festival
in the Netherlands doug and it demonstrated the habits that
make people more attractive to mosquitos. You want to predict
what they came up with or just get right to it.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
No, why didn't you get right to it.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
So the habits that they described, and again this came
out of a music festival where they did this research.
Habits such as beer or cannabis consumption, or sleeping next
to somebody the night before make people more attractive to mosquitoes,
according to the study.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Wow, there's something to think about, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Huh? Unbelievable? All right?
Speaker 1 (33:43):
So I had one other question here that when I
think about what our mission is, we have not talked
much about the screwworm and the fact that that flesh
eating bacteria has killed five people so far.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
It's moving into it. We're very close to the American.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Border, and it's developed and thrives in Central America, kills
each the flesh of sheep and goats and cats and
dogs and people. If that fly lands on you and
you're going to open wound in the larva, get in there,
you're a garner. So what is there about these things that, again,
(34:30):
what's the attraction of Going back.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
To what we said about mosquitoes, The risk.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Of this is extremely low. You know, you want to
be struck by lightning, we're talking about that. But obviously
it generates headlines. Everybody be reassured the risk of this
of human infection is very low, but especially the people
who are at risk or people who have open wounds
or compromised immune systems. So if you have an open
(34:56):
wound or a compromised immune system, maybe you want to
day out of anything but the swimming pool.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
All right, there it is questions for doctor Ken. You
can catch up with Good Day Health all kinds of
episodes available wherever you get your podcasts. By putting in

the right place. This program was produced at Bobksound and Recording.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
This Good Day Health Doug Stefan with Doctor Kenkronhaus, sponsored
in part by Calendren, 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. I'm with doctor Ken Cronhouse.
Lots of public institutions, private institutions. People are going to
do research and then the reports go into the medical journals.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
And then Ken.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Looks at him and he says, Okay, this has made
a great conversation for us on the air, and so
away we go. I'm looking at a box. The box says,
after bite, it's targeted its relief for the eight beastings,
maybe nine.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I was in a field. Most people know where. I
hope they know. Maybe if they don't know, I'll tell them.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I am a farmer in addition to being a broadcaster
and several other things.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
And last night I was chopping corn for my cows.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Drove into the field, drove over bees ness because the
bees are in the ground it's so dry, and they
are the worst kind, yellowjackets, and they attacked me and
get stung nine times my neck, my arms, my back,
my stomach, my legs, my butt. So I got this
after bite. To try to get rid of the itch,
I've tried benadryl, on it. Actually took a Benda drill
(01:10):
pill last night so I could go to sleep.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Can it didn't work. I haven't slipped.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Two winks in the last of twenty four hours. And
so I wonder about the things that you can do
of anything. The one thing that a lot of people
worry about, who may be allergic to bee stings if
they'd had even one. I remember my stepmother had a
real allergy and she got bitten once and they had a.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Rushed to the hospital because she got all swollen up.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
So what is there about bee stings?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
B venom?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Is it poisonous? Why does it hurt so much and
itch so much? Maybe that's a good question for those
of you. The reason this is sort of a public
service because this time of year bees are everywhere, I
mean everywhere.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
So what do you say, ken, What do you think?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
What do I think? You need a doctor?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I need a doctor.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
You're a doctor, really, so beastings. Let's talk about beast things.
Most of the problem is the allergic reaction to it.
I hope that you were very immediately. You want to
stay calm, yes, because you know, just getting all worked
up can push the venom deeper into the body, and
(02:25):
that is not good. Do you remove the stingers?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
No, I couldn't get into the skin, Like I'm looking
at my wrist right now and I can't. I can
sort of see it, but it's right on a vein,
and then the rest stuff on my back I couldn't
get at so and the one on my upper elbow,
I can't see it.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I can just feel it. So the answer is no.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
So the sooner you remove the stinger, the less venom
is released. And there's venom. The reason why you're asking
why there's a reaction, there's actually venom, poisonous venom in
those stingers. There's allergic reactions, and people have various levels
of allergies to the venom. That's why some people react
horrendously and need the emergency room, and some people it's
(03:12):
no big deal. But the quicker you get the stinger
out the better. You don't want to use a tweezers
or squeeze the stinger because this will actually push more
venom into your body. You want to try to scrape
it out with a blunt object like a credit card,
a dull knife, even your finger nail, and then wash
(03:34):
the area thoroughly soap, and water to clean the wound
dug and help prevent infection. I hope you've done that.
Following up, what else? Cold compresses, placing ice pack or
cold cloth on the sting site can help. Even continuing
to do that help reduce the swelling. Are the areas
(03:55):
getting infected or swollen?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
No, I don't think there's any infection. It's just that
the stingers are there and the itch.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Is beyond See, you may need some pain relief, addil motrin,
that sort of thing, or a set of benefit which
we will probably talk a lot about. Hopefully you're not pregnant,
so that'll be okay. Some topical creams I don't know
if you have some calamine lotion, anti histamine, cordic steroid creams.
(04:24):
All these sorts of creams are used to reduce the swelling.
If you have a big allergic reaction on oral antihistamine
like what you've done benadryl, it can help relieve itching
and swelling. You've already taken that I have. Hopefully you'll
be awake for the show. And also is the stingers
(04:49):
on the arms of the.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Legs, Well, they're on my arms, legs, back, neck.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
All over the place, because is there swell, if there's
swelling on the arms or legs, off an ellen vational
help that initially not.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Too much of that, but no.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
You know, there are some home remnities that have been
used in the past, you like apple side or vinegar, honey,
baking soda, paste has been tried to put on these things.
But fortunately it sounds like you haven't had anaphyl axis.
This is a severe allergic reaction to beest things. This
is when you need help getting to the ER nine
(05:26):
to one one. You can't breathe. You have huge swelling
on the face, lips, and tongue or throat making it
hard to breathe, dizzy, feinting, rapid weak pulse, nausey, vomiting, diarrhea,
all these can be parts of severe allergic reactions to
what we call anaphyl axis to beest things. They really occur.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
All right, well, I'm going to try the apple side
of vinegar in some of the paste stuff that you
were talking about.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
That's good advice, good for everybody. As I said, bees
are everywhere this fall. They're very very prominent. Can ten
many beasts. Bee nests we've had to take down on the.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Farm and the only way to get rid of them
is at night you burn them.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
They are so home home remedies that you again, let
me repeat because you like the home remedies that have
been shown to actually neutralize the acidic reaction from the
be venom. Let me just mention them to you again.
Applying honey or apple cider vinegar or baking soda paste
(06:29):
to the sites have been shown to help with some
of the symptoms. Some of the home remedies that have
been used over the years.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
All right, let's pause for a moment, and then we're
going to get to our list with speaking about some
of the things that will make pain go away, like
tail and all. We have some new research on that
and how it can be used. That's coming up next
here on Your Day Health, Doug Stefan with doctor ken Kronhouse.
Staying connected and keeping your family safe, it's a top priority,
(06:55):
I think probably for most, if not all parents.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Hopefully so.
Speaker 1 (06:58):

Speaker 1 (07:33):
I'm Doug Stephen and she's not. She could be Elizabeth Miller. However,
as a matter of fact, she is.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Elizabeth Miller.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Is one of the great reasons for going to toploss
dot com and engaging in the work of calitrin getting
that weight off the natural way.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
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. It is that's oup for tien hundred
thous and happy customers. So I know we've just helped
people all over the United States lose weight. So if
you go to toploss dot com you'll see the counter
and sell right there. But we do also like dougs
(08:11):
that 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. And then of course
Doug has the promo code. If you use the promo
code Doug, that's going to say you own shipping on
all orders.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Elizabeth Miller from the folks at Calendar Trend.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Thanks Elizabeth.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
All right back with doctor Ken. Let's talk about this
research being done that links tail and all and the like,
things like autism ADHD. A lot of that conversation because
of aspirin and things. There's a question that has come
up with the mister Kennedy from the Department of Health
(08:52):
and Human Services about this probably new presentation.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
So what do we have on this Ken Doug review
you of forty six forty six studies has found evidence
linking prenatal exposure to acetamnifin the most common way people
get it.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Is in tail and All, but it's not the only way.
Any of the over the counter medications you can easily
get in the drug store or the grocery store if
it's for pain make sure you see if there's acetamnifin
in it. These forty six studies DOUG highlight a higher
risk of autism and ADHD. The findings have prompted the
(09:34):
FDA to consider adding a warning to thailanol's label, though
some so called experts are pushing back, citing a lack
of definitive causal evidence and DOUG this highlights a controversial
and important area of research, and in fact, just in
the last couple of days, the World Health Organization said,
(09:57):
studies looking at the use of acet of mini during
pregnancy and the rate of autism and children, are you ready,
We're inconsistent. So this sounds too much to me like
what we went through with COVID nineteen. And I just
am concerned that politics is interfering with good science and
(10:18):
good thought because it sure sounds like forty six studies
and one of the major review of all this was
done at the Harvard School of Public Health, hardly a
bash of a place that loves our current administration.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Right, Well, this goes to show you're right with politics.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
We don't talk about politics on this program, but there
are politics that are involved in this for sure, and
the idea that there are other things that we can
look at that linked time and all the other things.
Some people confuse tail and all advil, the leaves of
(10:56):
the world with aspirin, and they aren't the same thing.
They do the same things, but they aren't the same.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Is that correct.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Let's put the nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drugs on one side,
which are the leaves, the motrens, the aspirin, and let's
put it thilanol or acetamnifin on the other side, and
you really have to separate them into nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drugs.
It's a mouthful of which aspirin is a part of
(11:22):
that group, motrin, advil, the rest of them. Aspirin has
a unique additional property that it affects platelets, decreasing the function.
Why it's so helpful in my area of the heart.
But on the other side is the cedamnifin, which is
a whole different group of pain relieving products, thilanol being
the most popular among them.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
All right, okay, so you have that to think about
and perhaps take the politics out of it. There's so
much of that around now we don't seem to be
able to get a clear picture on anything anymore. Up next,
speaking of aspirins, we have some.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I think the inference.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Here is clear on what low dose aspirin does and
it's not just about taking care.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Of the heart.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
We'll have that next here on Good Day Health. Here
we are back on Good Day Health.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
So we were talking about the link between thail and
all and autism or ADHD, and now we mentioned aspirin
in that conversation, trying to differentiate between the nonstruidal anti
inflammatory drugs and the aspirins that are there. So you
have had me on a low dose aspirin for a
(12:38):
long time, and I will tell you the last time
I had This may.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Be too much information, but I'll share it.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Anyway, The last time I had a rectal exam the doctors,
I think I told you this. The doctor said, oh,
you're a great shape. You're so pink, and he wanted
to know if I was on an aspirin routine. I said, yep,
I'm a low dose aspirin and he said.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Well, that's what does it.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
So this seems to enter into the conversation that this
latest journal has on the connection between an aspirin, low
dose aspirin and coorectal cancer.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Can right, And this is a report this week from
the British Medical Journal. But first, before we get into it,
I would just want to stress that even low dose
eighty one milligrams of asper in a day, also called
baby aspirin, these are drugs. I would not recommend that
anyone on their own regularly take low dose aspirin. You know,
(13:36):
if you take a single aspirin occasionally, That's not what
I'm talking about. I'm talking about what Doug just said,
taking even low dose aspirin on a regular basis. Don't
do it without talking to a physician, because even low
dose aspirin can have serious side effects in the wrong person,
(13:58):
especially bleeding in the body, which you want to avoid.
So and this is a decision that a thoughtful doctor
who knows you needs to make. Whether the risk outweigh
the benefit, whether the benefits outweigh the risk. What's the
risk of doing it versus the risk of not doing it?
And what we learned this week more benefits in the
(14:19):
right groups of people in taking low dose that eighty
one milligrams of aspin each day. Again out of the
British Medical Journal. It's a new study. It found that
this load daily dose of aspirin actually has. That's huge
the recurrence of colorectal cancer, so in people who have
already been diagnosed with coorectal cancer, recurrence is a big
(14:43):
problem as we all know, and this was a way
to pretty simply decrease that likelihood by fifty percent.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Wow, fifty percent.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
So it should be taking the aspirin like again, you
have had me do that. I don't know that I've
felt her or realize that there's any negative impact. And
because my checkups with you every year and my other
medical checkups don't lead me to believe that this is
something that's anything but good.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I mean, we're missing anything.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Again. It's a drug like any other drug, and whenever
we prescribe a drug, every single drug has a huge
amount of benefits. We hope in a little bit of
poison in it, and we have to decide whether the
benefits outweigh the risks. What's the risk of taking it
versus the risk of not I don't know we going forward,
we'll talk about your hip of why you're on it,
(15:36):
but certainly in you the benefits outweigh the risks.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
All right, we'll continue with doctor Ken. I'm doctor Doug.
He's got a license side don't. Well, I got a license,
but nothing medicine. But it's fun to be here with
you and to go through all this great information every
week for your benefit. I'm Doug Stephan and she's not.
She could be Elizabeth Miller. However, as a matter of fact,
she is.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Elizabeth Miller.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Is one of the great reasons for going to top
loss dot com and engaging in the work of Calitron
getting that weight off the natural way.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Caltron is different than everything else up there because it's
really good for you. It's actually drug free, stimulant free.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
So it's good for you.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
We've been helping customers since nineteen ninety seven. It's that's
over for two hundred thousand happy customers, So I know
that we've 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
(16:36):
you that will also have some special pricing on there.
And then of course Doug has a promo code if
you use the promo code, Doug. That's going to save
you on shipping on all orders.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Elizabeth Miller from the folks at cald Trin.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Thanks Elizabeth.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Back with doctor Ken Cronhaus Doug Stefan the reversal of
old thoughts, and we find that science does that. One
of the things we've been talking about was low dose
asprin and its impact on your colon. And I take
it because Ken thought I would be better off taking
it because it'll keep my blood thin, no chance of
a clot, that sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I wonder. I don't think I've ever asked you this.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Well, let's let's let's let's be a little more specific,
because we don't want to mislead people. We no longer
use low dose aspen just you know, as a primary preventative.
You know, I passed a certain age and I'm just
going to take a load dose aspen so I can
prevent a heart attack or stroke. We don't do that anymore.
(17:32):
We really think it out. It should be thought out
on an individual basis, because there is some risk to
long term even low dose aspiren, especially a risk of bleeding.
And you're not taking it, Doug, just because oh, we
thought it would be better for you. There's a specific reason,
and if you want me.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
To go into it, I think, yeah, no, that's a
good idea.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Well, you know, we have seen in you the development
accumulation of plaque in your carotid artery. It's very apparent
and we're trying to lower the risk of you having
a stroke. And if we didn't see that plaque in
your carotid arteries, we wouldn't even be thinking about that.
(18:16):
And that's why for you specifically, and it's very similar
in the heart for before you've after you've had a
heart attack. We know there's huge benefits to giving daily
low dose aspin, but it's not that clear in those
who haven't yet had their first heart attack whether they
(18:39):
should be on any low dose aspirin every day because
of the risks of bleeding. But when we see plaque
in the coronaries, that's a huge reconsideration about hey, maybe
that patient should be on a baby as for in
a day before they had their heart attack, because the
(19:01):
studies that show we shouldn't do that excluded the people
who had any plaque in their coronary arteries, and then
we need to look at the risk profile of having
a heart attack. This is a very difficult decision. You
go back ten or more years, it was pretty easy.
People were popping it on their own, a daily low
dose aspirin to prevent a heart attack or stroke. And
(19:23):
we now know that that's not a good idea to
do it on your own.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Well, the circumstances for mine, as you explained. One wonders though,
now that I'm on a path. I had your suggestion
do I need the aspirin for the purpose that you
just explained, because I think during the course of you
trying to convince me to take it, one of the
things you said was that it would be good to
help break up the forty percent blockage they have in
(19:50):
my carotis or something like that.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I don't know if I said that. What I've said
to you in the past is there's no DRAINO, and
you know you're eager to to get rid of those plaques.
I've said, if you get the LDL usually under sixty
there can be a little bit of reversal, maybe up
to eleven percent, but there's unfortunately no DRAINO. What we
(20:14):
want to do is stabilize those plaques, and by getting
the LDL, cholesterol, the inflammatory markers. Also for the circulation
real low. We can stabilize those plaques and that's really
the goal, to lower the risk of especially a heart
attack and even a stroke.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yep, all right, Hopefully that information is helpful for those
of you who are in need of attention when it
comes to that sort of thing. And the only way
you're going to find out if your need is either
to have an event happen or have your yearly physical
with a good, reliable doctor. That seems to me to
be the most intelligent way to do things. People say, wow,
I don't have insurance, I can't afford it. Well, I
(20:57):
guess depends on your priorities much as anything else. And
I mean this to sound like a lecture. But you
care about your own health and well being. You have
a family, you have children, grandchildren, you enjoy your life,
then perhaps it's worth the investment. If you don't have
the right insurance to get it done, if you don't
value all those things and you think I don't really
want to stick around here, then help yourself to ignorance,
(21:20):
because that's kind of what it is.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
And I don't mean that in a pejorative sense, what
is it?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I know what I don't want to know, and that's
the way some people look at it. So that's okay,
this program is probably not for you.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
If that's the.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Way you feel about your health and your well being,
I would say that advisedly.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Next up a couple of items that have to do
with your brain. There are some new insights into brain injury,
especially as it affects young athletes high school, college age,
right Ken, or even maybe younger.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Right Doug. This cut was published this week in medical
journal Neurology. It's a significant study, hugely funded by the
National Institutes of Health, and it's revealed that repeated headed
packs can actually cause early neuron loss. These are the
cells in the brain and inflammation in the brains of
(22:15):
young athletes, even before the development of what we've talked
about before, this chronic traumatic and cephalopathy or CFE, which
is what the football players after you know they've played
football a while getting diagnosed with. So this finding highlights
the long term risks associated with sports like football and soccer,
(22:37):
and it could lead to new guidelines for player safety
and concussion protocols. Very important finding.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Okay, all right, it is important that's right, and so
let's as we're in this pew, if you will, down
this alley, let's talk about some of these recent developments
the business. I can't pronounce this a drug and what
it does for certain deficiencies in your cerebral area. Right
(23:09):
you pronounce it?
Speaker 2 (23:11):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I think you're talking about luca orn.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yes, there you go, yepka, luca oran sounds like an aston.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
So let's talk about luca of orn and so called
cerebral folate deficiency because you're going to be hearing a
lot about this as we talk about trying to treat autism.
There's a connection here to autism, and this is going
to be in the news lot. There's been a significant
(23:40):
recent news DOUG regarding the FDA and a drug called
luca of orn. It's a form of folate acid, a
pholinic acid to be exact, and this development is a
major news step. But it's not a broad approval for
all autism. That's what's very important. So what is it, Doug.
(24:04):
The FDA has initiated the process to approve this new
indication for luca oorum calcium tablets. This is a treatment
for cerebral folate deficiency. It's a neurologic condition where the
brain has low folate levels despite normal levels in the blood.
That's very important. So you might measure in your blood tests,
(24:26):
as you have DOUG in the past, your folate level
and it's normal, and it doesn't tell us that the
level in the brain is normal. So what's the connection
to autism, DOUG. Some children with autism have been found
to have this cerebral folate deficiency, and studies have shown
that luka of orin can help improve speech and communication
(24:48):
skills in this specific subset of patients. And this is
the first FDA recognized therapeutic for a condition directly linked
to some case of autism, So it is a breakthrough.
It provides a new targeted treatment option for children who
have both autism and a confirmed FOLLY deficiency in the brain. However,
(25:11):
it's not a cure for autism and may not be
effective for all individuals on the spectrum. So it's a
major breakthrough, but not for everybody.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
So under the circumstances, thinking about what people are told
and the reality of the discussions around ADHD, someday this
is again an editorial comment, when the research is done
that actually proves without a doubt the suggestion that things
like tail and all and the other things that are
(25:43):
in that area would have caused autism. It seems that
because the numbers have gone as high as they have,
it's really hard to come up with another explanation for
unless is something in the water. And so that's why
I I cautioned people who are.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Can I make a comment? Can I make a comment
on this? Because I don't think the dramatic increase in autism.
I don't think is just related to our diagnostic abilities,
because the increase is dramatic, and yes, we're diagnosing it
(26:23):
more because we're better at diagnosing it. But I think
it goes beyond that. And an interesting fact that I
heard discussed by a scientist in this area is, you know,
in Cuba, Cuba, there's almost a set of menafin used,
and in Cuba there's almost no autism. I found that
(26:47):
to be an interesting statistic.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Yep, there you go. Speaks for itself.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
All right, we continue in a matter of moments. Here
we're on it. There's an interesting new exercise news, a
bit of news about exercise that I think you'll find
very positive. If I want to talk about something else
that's positive, and that's using Caltron to lose weight and
keep it off. Caltron is spelled c l O tren.
(27:12):
If you look it up. You've never heard me talking
about it before. It's pretty simple. Just go to you
can put it into the search bar caltrin or top
loss dot com, which is the website explaining all of
the benefits of the program. There are some people who've
taken it and sometimes it doesn't work, not very often,
(27:32):
but because eighty six percent of the people who've been
on this for the past twenty seven twenty eight years
in that time period have lost weight and kept it off,
that's pretty remarkable success story when you think about it.
So find out how the program works for you. I
have to do is go to top loss dot com and
ask for a counselor and you'll be contacted by somebody
will help you through with what you buy and how
(27:55):
you use it. And speaking of that, every weekend there
are specials that you can have by going to top
loss dot com on the product using doug on all
of the orders over fifty bucks. You get the very
very best deal and you also get free shipping as well.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
So now that fall.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Is here a time for you to focus on you
as we get into the eating season, as it were.
So if you go to top loss dot com right now,
you can see the essence of what I'm looking at.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
A customer success story. Right now.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Somebody in Kentucky who listens to us, her name of Susan,
said court, I started using calitrin a few months ago.
I lost eleven pounds without changing anything. My joint stone
ache like they did. I actually wake up with energy again.
I feel like a new person.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
All right, So you want to get into this success
all you have to do is right now go to
top loss dot com and you get ten dollars off
every bottle you buy using the Doug Coach. Stock up now,
save and step into the season. But America's number one
choice for a healthyweight loss Calitrin at top loss dot com.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
We have a quickie here. Ken.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I know that you were always focusing on the use
of cannabis and why anybody would be dumb enough to
use it during pregnancy, who knows. But here's some more
warning for those of you who might think about doing that.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Right this week from the American College of Obstetricians and gynecologists. Doug,
Pregnant people should stay away from cannabis, and doctors should
ask all patients about its use before, during, and after pregnancy.
These are new guidelines from the American College of Obstetrics
and Gynecology. The recommendations come as cannabis use during pregnancy
(29:38):
has climbed in America following wider legalization and social acceptance.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Doug, Yeah, I mean, there's just there are plenty of reasons.
I guess that some people find to use it and
it helps a lot of people who are in pain
as they're older, and I think that that kind of
stuff is not what we're talking about, talking about recreational
use of this and what it leads to.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Two.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
You're listening to Good Day Health with doctor Ken Crownhouse.
I've Doug Stefan.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Dug some new research out of Baylor and Stanford. This
was reported this week and it may explain a phenomenon
that many of us, I think happens in our own bodies.
This new research, it's hovered how exercise suppresses appetite through
a previously unknown molecular pathway. There's a newly discovered compound.
(30:37):
It's a mouthful it's called lack fee lac pH. It's
produced during intense workouts and directly quiets hunger neurons the
brain cells in the brain. So these workouts that you
do is just another good way to help you lose
weight by helping the appetite areas of the brain calm down.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Let's talk about we have pretty much every week some
segment or some question about AI. This question has to
do with blood work and what happens when let's say
we go to QUEST is that they are they using
AI now when you get your blood tested.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Well, it's hopefully it's going to be there very shortly,
but it's still being done in the research centers, but
I think it will be getting to est quests uses
a little bit. But this what I'm about to talk
about is kind of the cutting edge, which we'll get
to QUEST shortly. But it's a new AI powered analysis
(31:41):
DOUG of routine blood tests. It's been shown to reveal
hidden patterns that can predict recovery and survival after spinal
cord injuries. This technology DOUG could make life saving predictions
more available and affordable in hospitals. The break through shows
the growing role of artificial intelligence and diagnostics and prognostics.
(32:06):
So it's not yet at quest, but it'll be there soon.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Earlier in the program, I talked about my beastings getting
stung by eight or nine bees last night, and it
brings up the question with some thinking about things that
bite us. Why the bees bite us, Why the mosquitoes
bite us? Why bugs find us attractive as humans? So
what is it that if you want to talk about
(32:29):
mosquitoes in general? I think the bee population, at least
the ones that I encountered last night. I ran over
their in ground nest and that's what stirred them up
to come after me. But you know, we all have
that mosquito thing that we've been exposed to in some way,
shape or form in some part of the country all
(32:49):
of our lives. So why do they want to come
and bite us?
Speaker 3 (32:53):
There was a publication out this week bioarxiv dot org
an interesting study which came out of a music festival
in the Netherlands doug and it demonstrated the habits that
make people more attractive to mosquitos. You want to predict
what they came up with or just get right to it.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
No, why didn't you get right to it.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
So the habits that they described, and again this came
out of a music festival where they did this research.
Habits such as beer or cannabis consumption, or sleeping next
to somebody the night before make people more attractive to mosquitoes,
according to the study.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Wow, there's something to think about, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Huh? Unbelievable? All right?
Speaker 1 (33:43):
So I had one other question here that when I
think about what our mission is, we have not talked
much about the screwworm and the fact that that flesh
eating bacteria has killed five people so far.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
It's moving into it. We're very close to the American.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Border, and it's developed and thrives in Central America, kills
each the flesh of sheep and goats and cats and
dogs and people. If that fly lands on you and
you're going to open wound in the larva, get in there,
you're a garner. So what is there about these things that, again,
(34:30):
what's the attraction of Going back.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
To what we said about mosquitoes, The risk.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Of this is extremely low. You know, you want to
be struck by lightning, we're talking about that. But obviously
it generates headlines. Everybody be reassured the risk of this
of human infection is very low, but especially the people
who are at risk or people who have open wounds
or compromised immune systems. So if you have an open
(34:56):
wound or a compromised immune system, maybe you want to
day out of anything but the swimming pool.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
All right, there it is questions for doctor Ken. You
