Health Talk America: Wild West of Medicine: Outbreaks, Back-to-School, and a Gene-Editing Tragedy

This hour, Dr. Adam Brockman breaks down the health headlines actually worth your attention —
including an outbreak that's now the largest of its kind on record — before turning to the health prep every family need before the school bell rings. Then, a simple, decades-old remedy makes a comeback as the Health Alternative of the Week. But the hour takes a hard turn with a Health Mystery that's sparking outrage across the medical world: a six-year-old girl, an $800,000 experimental treatment, and a death that was never supposed to see the light of day. Plus, the one habit Dr. Brockman says could change how you navigate your own health decisions for good.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Welcome, Welcome to this hour of Health Talk America, the
show where we sort the science from the sensational so
you don't have to I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and I'm
glad you've carved out this hour because there's a lot
moving in the world of health and medicine right now,
and precious little of it is getting the plain English
treatment it deserves. That's our job to hand it to

(01:51):
you with no spin so you can digest it easily.
But before we get moving, let's get you involved with
the show. In case you're just joining us. This is
Health Talk America. And if anything we talk about this
hour leaves you wanting more, the studies, the sourcing, the
deeper dives, it's all waiting for you at Healthtalkamerica dot com.

(02:15):
Again is Healthtalkamerica dot com. And if something sparks a
question of your own, I don't want you to sit
on it. Our lines are open and that's around the clock.
Our line into the show is eight hundred six zero
six eight eight two two. It's eight hundred six zero
six eight a two two. You can call in, you

(02:36):
can leave your question and you might just hear it
answered live right here on the air again our line
into the show eight hundred six zero six eight A
two two, or our website, which is health Talkamerica dot com. Now,
let's talk about what's actually happening out there in health

(02:57):
this week, because a few of these stories are the
kind that ripples straight into your kitchen, your medicine cabinet,
and your next doctor's visit. So this is this week's
health headlines. Let's start with one that's impossible to ignore.

(03:25):
Let's do an update on the cyclospora outbreak that's tied
to contaminated shredded iceberg lettuce, and this has ballooned into
what health officials are now calling the largest outbreak of
its kind on record. We're talking tens of thousands of
confirmed and suspected cases spread across the majority of US states.

(03:48):
And the symptoms aren't subtle either. We're talking explosive diarrhea,
a disappearing appetite, and weight loss that can linger for
weeks after exposure. So here's where I land on this one.
It's not a story to panic over, it's a story
to act on. Know where your produce is coming from.

(04:09):
And if something has been recalled, don't finish the bag
because it's probably fine. That's a bet with terrible odds
and an even worse payout. And stick around the entire
hour because later we're gonna walk through a natural approach
that's worth having in your corner if this outbreak has
you rethinking what's in your crisper drawer, which, in a

(04:33):
strange way brings us into our next story, because while
one headline this week is about what's going wrong with
our food, another is about what's going right and how
we manage risk before it becomes a crisis. We're talking
about new cholesterol management guidelines just landed, and they're already
reshaping the conversations happening in exam rooms across the country,

(04:57):
revising who actually needs staton therapy and at what point
treatment should ever begin. My advice here is simple, and
it applies to just about everything we cover on this show.
The guidelines are going to evolve, but your obligation to
ask questions does not. If your cholesterol numbers haven't been

(05:20):
discussed with you through the lens of these updated guidelines,
that is a conversation that is now overdue. I don't
want you to let a ten year old cholesterol conversation
that you have with your physician keep steering the decisions
that you're making today. So get an update on those
cholesterol guidelines with your primary care physician. And since we're

(05:43):
on the subject of managing risk before its spirals, let's
talk about a headline that's getting a lot of attention
in the weight loss world. And again this is another
one that's dominating the headlines. There's promising new data on
an injectable medication showing the benefits that go well beyond
the number on the scale. We're talking about real improvements

(06:05):
in cardiovascular system. The cardio metabolic markers for patients managing
diabetes and heart disease both have been improved in these
studies with the GLP one medications. Now you know me
well enough by now to guess what I'm going to
head with this direction. I'll always be the one asking

(06:28):
what happens when we give diet and movement and sleep
the same aggressive commitment that we're willing to give a prescription.
And this is a great innovation with the GLP ones,
and I'm not going to wave that off, but it
should complement that foundation, never replace it. A pill can

(06:48):
support the work, but it was never designed to do
the work for you. So let's go ahead and shift
gears for a second, because not every headline this week
needs to have it furled brow. Here's one that might
actually make you smile. New research is taking a fresh
look at sparkling water and dental health, and the verdict

(07:12):
is better than the old rumor mill suggested that fizz
that you've been rationing out of guilt, it's very likely
the smarter choice sitting right next to those sugary, acidic
soft drinks in the cooler. So if you've been quietly
hiding that Seltzer habit like it's some type of advice,

(07:34):
consider yourself off the hook. Drink up and drink easy
if you enjoy sparkling water. So let's go from your teeth,
let's move on to your mind, because again, this is
a next one that might be the most quietly significant
story on the entire list. Researchers are advancing a new

(07:56):
blood test that may be able to flag kind of
decline years before the symptoms ever show up. And if
that holds up at a scale, it doesn't just change
that diagnosis to change the entire conversation around brain health,
shifting it from reactive to proactive. And that's exactly where
natural health and modern diagnostic medicine finally start to shake hands.

(08:20):
The earlier we know, the more choices we have, prevention
stops being a philosophy that we talk about on the
show and starts being a measurable, testable strategy that you
can actually act on. And speaking of simple actionable strategies,
let's close out this week's list with one of my favorites.
New findings show that swimming may meaningfully ease chronic low

(08:45):
back pain, offering a low impact, joint friendly option for
people who've been struggling to tolerate higher impact exercise. I
love this story because it's prooved that some of the
most effective interventions aren't exotic or expensive. They're sitting in
your own pool. You don't need a specialist referral or

(09:06):
a prior authorization to get in the water. Sometimes that
prescription really is that simple. So let's take a look
at what has shaped this week around health. That historic
outbreak reminds us that food safety is an optional, no
matter how routine that bag of let us feels. In
the new cholesterol guidance. It's asking for an honest conversation

(09:30):
update with your doctor instead of this outdated assumption. A
weight loss breakthrough that deserves respect, but it's not a
blank check to skip the fundamentals. We had a dental
myth finally corrected in favor of the fizzy drink in
your fridge, and a blood test that could hand us

(09:51):
a decade of advanced warning on brain health, and a
writer that the pool down the street might be doing
more for your back then you've given it credit for.
That's the landscape we're working with this hour, and it
sets up everything's still ahead. Later in the show, we're
circling back to the cyclospora outbreak with a natural approach

(10:13):
worth knowing about. Plus it's time to start thinking about
school and a health mystery for you to solve. But
before we had to break. If any of what you
just heard raises a question of your own, don't let

eight hundred six zero six eight A two two, or
over at Healthtalkamerica dot com. I want you to ask away,
and you might just hear yourself on the air before
the hour is up. Now, here's a story that's been
quietly building in my inbox and in conversations with parents

(12:59):
for weeks now, and I think it's one that deserves
more attention than it typically gets. And we're talking about
the health side of back to school season. We spend
so much energy on backpacks and supply lists and first
day outfits, in comparatively little on the physical and the
mental preparation that actually determines whether a child walks into

(13:24):
that first week ready or already running on empty. So
let's fix that today. I want to start with the
most obvious and often the most overlooked piece of this puzzle,
and that's sleep. Somewhere around that middle of summer bedtime
start to drift. They drift just a little bit at first,

(13:47):
then they start to drift a lot, and by the
time the first day of school arrives, you've got a
child whose internal clock is set two to three hours
later than the one the school bell is keeping. That
mismatch doesn't resolve itself in a day. It takes roughly

(14:08):
a week of gradual adjustment. And we're talking about nudging
bedtime earlier by about fifteen or twenty minutes every few nights,
and that's to reset that circadian rhythm that took all
summer to unravel. And if you wait until the night
before school starts and you're not easing a transition, you're

(14:33):
starting to force a collision. So if you start now
and by that first bell, your child's body already knows
what time it should be from sleep. Let's go ahead
and move on and talk about what's really easy to
let slide, and that's nutrition and specifically breakfast. I know

(14:55):
we've made this point before on the show, but it
bears repeating because the research keeps confirming it, and that
is a child who eats a protein forward breakfast concentrates
better that regulates their mood better and burns through that
mid morning slump less than a child that's running on

(15:18):
cereal or nothing at all. And this doesn't need to
be something that's complicated that we're talking eggs, yogurt, a
piece of fruit, maybe a handful of nuts, and the
goal is that steady fuel, not a sugar spike that
peaks in home room and it crashes by the second period.

(15:39):
Get the morning routine right and you've already solved half
of what teachers spend that first month of school fighting against. Now,
if we move on to something that doesn't get nearly
enough airtime, and that is school physicals. Every state has
a its own requirements, and they vary enough that it's

(16:04):
worth an actual check rather than an assumption based on
just last year. But beyond the paperwork requirement, back to
school physical is one of the few the guaranteed moments
all year when you have a health practitioner with your child,
undistracted and there for a real conversation. So this is

(16:26):
where those growth trends get caught. Vision and hearing concerns
get caught here as well. The early signs of anxiety,
changes in mood or concerns a parent has been quietly
sitting with this is that time for that appointment where
those questions can be raised out loud instead of stay

(16:48):
in private. So don't treat this visit as a box
just to check off. Treat it as a checkpoint that
it's designed to be. And while we're we're talking about
what gets caught in that appointment, let's let's talk honestly
about the piece that's harder to put on the checklist,
and that's the anxiety that comes with a new school year.

(17:12):
We're talking new teachers, new classmates, new expectations, and for
a lot of kids, a low like a hum of
dread that builds for days before that first morning. And
some of that is normal, even healthy assign a child
cares about how things go. But there's a difference between

(17:38):
the butterflies and something heavier, and parents are usually the
first ones that are positioned to notice which one they're watching.
And again we can point back to sleep changes or
appetite changes, or that sudden reluctance to talk about school
at all. Those are worth paying attention to and worth

(18:01):
naming out loud with your child rather than assuming it'll
pass on its own. Sometimes it does, Sometimes it needs
a conversation or a call to that same health practitioner
we just talked about with school physicals. Now, let's let's
talk about the back pack itself for a moment, because

(18:22):
this one's almost comically physical and almost universally ignored. And
we're talking about a loaded backpack. It shouldn't exceed roughly
ten to fifteen percent of a child's body weight. And
yet you walk past any school pickup line and you'll
see kids that are just sideways under a weight that

(18:45):
would make a grown adult WinCE. So we're talking two
shoulder straps worn on both of shoulders, sitting that backpack
needs to sit about the waistline rather than dragging at
the hips. And this isn't, you know, glamorous advice, but
chronic posture strain in a growing spine is not a

(19:06):
small thing, and it's entirely preventable with about thirty seconds
of adjustment each morning. Then there's the piece that never
really fully goes away once the bell rings, and we're
talking the germs. A classroom, without exception, is one of

(19:27):
the most efficient transmission environments human beings have ever accidentally designed.
We're talking hand washing, covering coughs, not sharing water bottles.
These sound, you know, like kindergarten rules, because they are
kindergarten garden rules, and they still work in middle school,

(19:49):
high school, and frankly in your own office. So these
are a few extra reminders in a week, you know,
the starting off the school year. That saves a few
extra sick days by the time week three rolls around.
And finally, let's not forget the piece that's easy to
lose in all of this, and we're talking about screen

(20:10):
time and the transition back into structure. You know, some
are schedules they loosen naturally, and screens they tend to
fill whatever space opens up, rather than a hard a
cut off. The weak school starts ease that shift the
same way you ease the sleep schedule a little earlier

(20:31):
each night, a little less scrolling before bed, rebuilding the
boundary gradually, so it feels like a normal return in
a rhythm rather than a punishment. So put all of
this together, the sleep restored ahead of time, a breakfast
that actually fuels a morning, a physical, a school physical

(20:54):
that catches more than that form requires an honest conversation
about the nerves. Nobody wants to talk about the backpack
that isn't quietly working against that growing spine, and some
basic hygiene habits that are reinforced early, and finally, a
screen time in a routine eased back into shape. And

(21:19):
then if you combine all of these, you've got a
child that's walking into that first day with something far
more valuable than new shoes. You've got a child whose
body and mind are actually ready for what's coming in
the new school year. So, folks, that's a quick school
snapshot for your parents, and it's one i'd encourage you
to share with another parent this week, because half of

(21:41):
getting this right is simply remembering to start early enough
to matter. All right, folks, I want you to stay
with us. We've got a lot more ahead this hour.
We'll be right back here on Health Talk America. And

(22:11):
you're back with Health Talk America. I appreciate you sticking
with us through the break, And if you're just settling
back in, here's a quick reminder the full show notes
the sour scene in the past episodes. They're all waiting
for you at Healthtalkamerica dot com. And also something we

(22:32):
cover sparks of question. Our line is open, and that
is eight hundred six zero six eight A two two. Again,
that's eight hundred six zero six eight A two two,
or our website, which is Healthtalkamerica dot com. Now, before
we get to this week's health alternative, I want to
take a few minutes to talk about something a little

(22:54):
different and honestly, something I've come to appreciate myself. This
is a product that I've looked into and I'm comfortable
putting my name behind. I'm doctor Adam Brockman, host of
Health Talk America, the nation's number one health talk radio show,
and after three decades of national syndication, we don't just

(23:16):
put our name next to anything. So I want to
talk about lock Lab. If hair loss is something you
or someone in your family has quietly been dealing with,
you already know the frustration, the endless ads that promise
overnight miracles, the products that smell like a chemistry experiment
that's gone wrong, and ones that simply don't hold up

(23:41):
under real scrutiny. Lock Lab took a different approach, and
it's one I respect. They built their formula around ingredients
that actually have research behind them, not just some marketing gimmick.
And we're talking about a combination that includes finest ride
and an oxidel and these ingredients they're known for their

(24:04):
role in addressing the hormonal drivers behind hair thinning, along
with biotin in the formulae and key micronutrients that support
the hair follicles natural growth cycle. It's formulated to work
with your body's biology rather than against it. Again, no gimmicks,
no exaggerated before and after photos. It's just a formulation

(24:28):
that's built on ingredients with a track record, and that
matters to me, and honestly, it's mattered to you as well,
because your hair health, like everything we talk about on
the show, deserves an evidence based answer, not a flashy
marketing one. So if this is something you've been quietly

(24:49):
researching or something that you've been putting off because you
weren't sure who you could trust, I'd encourage you to
look into lock Lab for yourself website it's locklab dot
co and schedule your quick consultation. It is affordably priced
for everyone at thirty five dollars a month. And if

(25:10):
you want to see more of the conversations that we
have around topics like this, head over to our YouTube
channel for extended video content with the developers of locklab
and again visit locklab dot co to get started. That's
l ock lab dot co. Locklab dot co. All right,

(25:33):
let's get into this week's health alternative. Given everything that
we've discussed about the cyclospora outbreak earlier in this show

(25:55):
in the previous weeks, this week's alternative practically chose itself,
and I'm talking about the Brat diet and why it
deserves a spot back in your Households playbook. If diarrhea
or gastro intestinal upset has made an appearance in your house,
Brat sands for bananas, rice, apple, sauce, and toast. And

(26:17):
if that sounds almost too simple to be useful, that's
exactly the point. You've probably heard of it, you've probably
used it. But sometimes it's a simple reminder that when
your digestive system is inflamed and irritated, whether from a
food born parasite like cyclospora, or a stomach bug or

(26:37):
general gastro intestinal distress, the last thing it needs is
more work. These four foods share a few key qualities.
They're low in fiber, which means less mechanical irritation to
an already unhappy gut. They're bland, and they're low in fat,
which reduces the workload on digestion. And they're binding, which

(26:59):
helped firm upstool during a stretch of frequent watery diarrhea.
So bananas they bring back potassium that diarrhea depletes rapidly,
which matters more than people realize, because electrolyte loss is
often what turns a miserable stomach bug into an exhausting one.

(27:20):
Rice in particular, white rice is about as gentle and
easily digestible as starches come. Apple sauce offers a small
dose of natural sugar for energy without the overwhelming stress
on the digestive track, and toast rounds it out as
a plain, low residue source of calories when very little

(27:43):
el sounds appealing. Now, I want to be clear about
how this fits in the bigger picture, because the BRAT
diet isn't a cure. It's that bridge. It's not meant
to be a long term nutritional plan. It's intentional low
end protein and overall ritional density, which is exactly why

(28:05):
it's designed for days, not weeks. Think of it as
scaffolding for a digestive system that needs a break, not
a complete meal plan for recovery, and just as important,
hydration has to run alongside it. Water, broth and electrolyte

(28:25):
solutions matter just as much as what's on the plate,
especially with a parasitic infection like cyclospora, where fluid loss
can be significant and sustained. So if symptoms are severe,
they're persistent beyond a few days, accompanied by a high fever,
blood loss, or signs of significant dehydration, that's not a

(28:48):
Brat diet situation anymore. That's a call to your doctor situation,
but for the common garden variety digestive upset stomach. So
many of you might be negating right now in the
middle of this outbreak. This simple, decades old approach still
holds up because it's built on a principle we come
back to again and again on the show. Sometimes the

(29:11):
most effective intervention is also the most unassuming one. So, folks,
that's the Brat diet. Bananas, rice, apple, sauce and toast.
That's our health alternative of the week. I want you
to keep it in your back pocket, share it with
someone who might need it, and remember you can find

(29:32):
this in every health alternative that we've covered archived at Healthtalkamerica.
Dot com. All right, folks, we're coming up on a break.
When we come back, we're going to get to a
health mystery. I want your health solving stick around and
there's more on health Talk America.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
Welcome control now we can even now welcome.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
You're back with health Talk America. I'm doctor Adam Brockman,
and this next segment is one I've been sitting with
for for a few days now, because it's a it's
a kind of story that doesn't have a tidy takeaway
or a simple health tip at the end of it.
It's it's heavier than that. But if you've been with
the show for any length of time, you know that

(33:33):
we don't shy away from the hard stories. We walk
into them because that's that's where the real lessons usually live.
And quickly before we go there. Everything we cover is
archived at Healthtalkamerica dot com. And if you want to
weigh in on a story like this, our line is
open at eight hundred six zero six eight A two two.

(33:55):
Again it's Healthtalkamerica dot com or a phone line which
is eight hundred six six eight eight to two to two. Okay,
let's go ahead and get into this week's health mystery.
I want to go ahead and warn you upfront, this
one's dark. We're talking to a little girl referred to

(34:19):
publicly only as the pseudonym May, was six years old.
She had a rare genetic condition affecting brain development, one
that impacted her cognitive function, but was not, by every account,
life threatening on its own. Her parents, desperate for options

(34:39):
that conventional medicine simply didn't have, yet, found their way
to an experimental, a privately funded gene editing procedure in China,
a treatment that is so new it represented the world's
first attempt at a brain directed gene editing therapying a child.

(35:00):
So the price tag was over eight hundred thousand dollars,
and it was paid largely out of pocket by the
family that was chasing hope. The procedure itself involved a
spinal infusion carrying trillions of engineered viral particles designed to
travel to her brain and correct the underlying genetic mutation.

(35:23):
And for a moment, I want you to just sit
with that image, because that's not incremental medicine. That's not
a new pill or a revised guideline. This is genetic
surgery performed on a child's brain. And it was outside
the guardrails most of us assume exists before something like

(35:44):
this is ever allowed near a human being. And one
week later, May was debt the result of a severe
immune reaction her body mounted against the treatment itself. And
here's where the story stops being simply tragic and starts
becoming alarming. The investigation later revealed that this death was

(36:07):
never disclosed publicly, so the lead researcher went on to
publish related findings in a respected scientific journal without a
single mention that a child had died from the very
therapy being discussed. Pre Clinical warning signs the kind of

(36:27):
red flags that are supposed to stop a trial before
it ever reaches a human patient, were apparently known and
set aside. A university is now investigating, and more than
a few bio ethical scientists are drawing a direct line
between this case and a prior scandal out of the

(36:50):
same country involving gene edited babies that the scientific world
thought had already forced a reckoning on this oversight. So
here's the mystery, and here's the outrage underneath it. How
does a treatment, this experimental, this unproven, reach a six

(37:11):
year old's brainstem before it ever has been proven safe
in anyone or anything remotely like her? Who decides that
a family's desperation and eight hundred thousand dollars is sufficient
substitute for regulatory scrutiny that exists precisely to prevent this outcome,

(37:33):
And when the outcome is a child's life, how does
that the fact simply not make it into published record. So, folks,
I don't have a great answer for you, and I'm
not going to pretend I do. What I will say
is this innovation in medicine is not inherently good or bad.

(37:56):
It's a tool, and like any tool, it's only as
trustworthy as the hands in the guardrails around it, gene editing.
It holds a huge promise it may one day cure
conditions we've spent generations calling incurable, from muscular dystophery to

(38:17):
certain cancers to the very neurodevelopmental disorder may was born with.
But promise without oversight isn't innovation. It's improvisation on a
human being with no net underneath. And when that human
being is a child who couldn't consent to any of it,

(38:38):
innovation stops being the right word entirely. This is exactly
why the scientific community builds slow, deliberate systems around anything
this powerful. And we're talking trials, peer review, you know,
independent ethics boards, mandatory reporting of adverse outcomes. Those steps

(38:58):
aren't red taped for its own sake. They exist because
history has already shown us what happens when they're skipped.
And every time that history repeats itself, it's rarely the
scientist who pays the price. It's a family, and far
too often and may be a child. So if there's
a lesson married in the story for the families listening

(39:19):
right now weighing in on experimental options for a child
with a difficult diagnosis, it's this, Ask who is regulating this?
Ask what happened to every patient before yours? Ask whether
the person offering you hope has a financial or professional
incentive to keep that outcomes quiet. Desperation is understandable, it

(39:41):
is also unfortunately exploitable, and a family should never have
to learn that distinction the way Mays did. That is
this week's health mystery, and I suspect it's one that's
going to stay with you like it stayed with me.
We write back here on Health Talk America. I'm doctor

(40:02):
Adam Brockman, hosts of Health Talk America, the nation's number
one health talk radio show, and today I want to
talk to men who are watching their hair disappear and
wondering if anything actually works. Here's what I tell my listeners.

has put it all in one daily pill. Lock Lab
combines three clinically proven ingredients. The Neesta ride that blocks DHT,

(40:26):

scalp to stimulate real regrowth in biotin, the essential vitamin
your hair needs to grow thick and strong. The result,
lock Lab is ninety seven percent effective at stopping hair
loss in ninety percent effective at improving hair coverage. For

(41:14):
In that brings us to the close of this hour
on Health Talk America. I'm doctor Adam Brockman, and before
I let you go, let's tie together everything we covered,
because it's more connected than it might seem on the surface.
We open this hour with the health headlines. In the
biggest one, the cyclospora outbreak that's tied to contaminated lettuce

(41:38):
has now grown into the largest of its kind on record,
and we prepaired that with the new cholesterol guidance worth
discussing with your doctor, a weight loss breakthrough that should
support the fundamentals rather than replace them, And some welcome
news for the sparkling water drinkers among us, a blood

(41:59):
test that could one day give us years of advanced
warning on cognitive decline, and a reminder that something as
simple as swimming can ease chronic back pain. Six headlines,
six stories, one thread running throughout all of them. The
more informed you are, the more control you actually have

(42:19):
on your health. From there, we walk through back to
school season, and if you can take one thing from
that conversation, let it be this. Start the sleep and
the routine adjustments now, not the night before, because a
body given a week to adjust performs entirely different than
one forced into a collision on day one. Then we

(42:43):
brought the Brat diet back into the conversation as a
gentle bridge for anyone dealing with the digestive fallout of
the cyclospora outbreak. We're talking bananas, rice, apple, sauce, toast,
and plenty of fluids alongside it. And then we sat
with something heavier, the story of May, a six year

(43:05):
old who's family paid an extraordinary sum chasing a cure
that ended in a death that was never properly disclosed.
I said it then and I'll say it now. Innovation
without oversight isn't medicine. It's improvisation, and children deserve better

(43:26):
guardrails than that everywhere in the world, without exception. So
here's your health tip to carry you through the rest
of the week. And it ties into every one of
the stories together into one habit, and that is to
ask more questions. Ask your doctor about the new cholesterol guidelines.

(43:48):
Ask where your produce comes from. Ask your child how
they're really feeling about the first week of school. And
if anyone ever offers you or someone you love a
medical miracle with no oversight attached, ask what happened to
the patient before you. That's one habit. Ask questions apply

(44:09):
to everywhere. It's the difference between being a passenger in
your health in being the one driving. Thank you, as
always for spending this hour with us. Everything we discussed today,
the studies, the sourcing, the deeper conversations is permanently archived
at Healthtalkamerica dot com. And if a question came up
for you during this hour that we didn't get to,

(44:31):
don't let it go. Call us anytime at eight hundred
and six zero six, eight eighty two to two. The
show only works because you keep showing up, you keep
asking those questions, and you keep pushing for better answers.
Until next time on Health Talk America. This is doctor
Adam Brockman. Be well, stay curious, and take care of
each other.
