We also are going to get into at the bottom of the hour, the health outrage of the week, followed by the product recall of the week, and we'll finish out the hour with the health mystery of the week. But we begin this hour with talking about your microwave oven.

Everybody in America, I think, knows about microwave ovens. Most people have one, some people have two of them, and many people use microwave ovens regularly, almost every single meal. But did you know that deadly germs may be lurking in your microwave oven? It's true. Listen up if you have a microwave oven, or you know somebody who does and uses the microwave, whether it's heating up already made

meal or warming up a cold cup of tea. Many Americans use microwave ovens multiple times every single day, but a new study might make you think twice before turning on your microwave appliance. Researchers at Darwin Bioprospecting Excellence in Paterna, Spain, have discovered radiation resistant microbes inside microwave ovens. These scientists, worryingly said several strains could prove deadly to humans that are percolating inside microwave ovens, unbeknownst to the users of

those microwave ovens. According to the team of scientists, now they're saying that some of the species of the genera found in these domestic microwave ovens, the species called club Ziella, which when you're becoming a doctor, you have to learn about all these bugs and these microbes, and club Ziella, let me tell you, is a bad, bad microbe, a germ. You never ever want to have club Ziella. But they also discovered and Toro, caucus and aromanas in the microwave ovens,

lurking just waiting to make people sick. And the fact that these researchers believe they may pose a risk to human health, and that according to Daniel Torrent, one of the authors of the scientific study. In their study, the team sampled microbes from inside thirty different microwave ovens, ten from single household kitchens, ten from shared domestic spaces such as cafeterias, and ten from specific laboratories using microwave ovens

to heat food or fluids. An analysis of samples uncovered seven hundred and forty seven different bacterial microbes living in microwave ovens just lurking and they're waiting to drop into your food so that you can ingest them and get sick. Worryingly, several of these microbes, as I mentioned, clubs Yella in

orcacas and arimantus, can be dangerous to humans. Clubs Yella, for example, the species can cause a range of health associated infections, including pneumonia, blood infections, wound or surgical site infections, and even meningitis. A lot of people get Clubs Yella in hospitals, by the way, I nosocomial infection in other words, an infection you get that you obtained in a hospital that you didn't walk in with and that's why there's

so much death that happens in hospitals unfortunately. Andrococcus, on the other hand, another organism they're finding in microwave ovens, unbeknownst to microwave oven owners, meanwhile, have the potential to cause a range of illnesses including urinary track infections, blood stream infections, and wound infections. And then finally, the third organism that they found proliferating in all these microwave ovens

that they're testing, and they feel that it's universal. This other aromaannos, a bug have been linked to gastrointestinal infections, kidney disease, cellulitis, and even meningitis. And here we're blaming it on the college kids, you know, sharing utensils when they get meningitis in college. Maybe it was their microwave oven all along, dirty microwave ovens that are causing the

problem in the first place. We're learning a lot here, and based on the findings, the researchers are urging people to make sure they regularly deep clean their microwave ovens. A lot of people don't. They just roll from one meal to the other. Just flip that baby on two minutes, three minutes, they're gone, and they open it up and there they go. They've got hot food or hot drink. The researchers recommend regularly disinfecting microwaves with a diluted bleach

solution or a commercially available disinfectant spray. In addition, it is in important to wipe down the interior surfaces of microwave ovens with a damp cloth after each and every use, to remove any residue of food or drink, and clean up spills immediately to prevent the growth of bacteria because you may not be able to see this stuff splattering through the container that it's impeded happens. And not only that, all the plastics and everything they're floating around in there

as well and combining with the food molecules. My personal opinion of microwave ovens use is fine. Heating water up poses no danger. Just stay back away from the machine when it's on at least three feet because every single microwave oven leaks. You don't believe me, They all leak. They all leak microwaves out. If you're standing right in front of it, or a kid standing in front of it, they're watching a little thing go around and around around. You got them up on a chair. It's cute, right, No,

it's not. Their eyeballs are being microwaved. And if you don't believe me, place your cell phone in your microwave oven, close the door, and try calling it from another phone. It rings. Wait a minute, how did that happen? I thought it was leak proof. I thought that none of the microwaves could get out of that oven, or anything could get in while it was on. No, not true. All microwave ovens leak. Try the experiment. Put your cell

phone in there. Don't turn the microwave oven on. By the way, just call your cell phone when the microwave oven is off. When you slam the door, your phone is in there. Your cell phone, go to a landline, go to somebody else's cell phone and call that line and you'll hear it ring. And the reason that it's able to ring is because it's leaking and other things

can get in and get out. So if you have a microwave oven your food is in plastic containers, it can hasten the rate at which potentially cancer causing chemicals can leach out into your food plastics, which are petrochemicals. Because all these these quick, easy ready foods and plastic, if you put them in there, the plastics being heated up as being just woven right into your food. Additionally, microwaving creates new compounds that are not found in humans

or in nature, called radiolytic compounds. You don't want radiolytic compounds in your body. We don't yet know what these compounds can do to the body. So there you have it. Deadly germs. I'll cover the answer to this, at least from the germs vantage point in the health alternative of the week. Stay tuned. I'm doctor Bob Martin. I can be assay, Doctor Bob Martin back with you.

Now, the last segment, I was talking about how these deadly germs may be lurking in your microwave of and to you, and they could contaminate the food or beverage that you're going to enjoy. I'm not a big fan of microwave ovens, I gotta tell you, I'm not for a lot of reasons. So use it minimally if at all, or like maybe heating water up or something. But if you are going to use microwave ovens, and a lot of people are, they're convenient. I mean,

they've changed a lot of lives. They change lives just from the standpoint of practicality and time efficiency. I get that, I understand it. But so many of these microwave ovens, the researchers are finding, have all these germs lurking around and there that can make you sick, and you want to make sure that you clean them out, but you don't want to use harsh chemicals. Therefore, we have for you, once again the solution to the dilemma. We call it

a health alternative of the week. Here we go, all right. The health alternative of the week is about just that.

product recall of the Week. But first I wanted to circle back and remind you that if you were not with us during the first hour of the program today, we had a very special dynamic guest on by the name of Nathan Jones, CEO of Clear, Inc. Talking about the importance of being exposed to on a daily basis with your oral care products, being exposed to xylotol in your toothpaste, mouthwash, rents, gum, and mints in order to reduce your risk of dental decay, periodonal disease, gendivitis, and

other dental related oral health problems. Further, we talked about Clear nasal sprays and how xylotol being inserted into the nasal cavity and a nasal spray can help reduce the germs and the microbes that can bring you down big time. And how it was discovered with Nathan's father, who is a physician himself, and how he was able to conquer the childhood ear infections in his own medical practice which were resistant to antibiotics. It just didn't work in otitis

media or middle ear infections. And so many of these children in his own practice, and even his granddaughters were or was facing a surgery where they have to punch a hole in the tympatic membrane the ear drum to put tubes into drain out because these children are crying, they're in pain because while the pressure building up in the middle of layer. Well, they were able to solve that by having the child chew xylotol and use xylotol as a saline in the nasal spray to kill the

germs that are responsible for these infections. Long story short, that's how clear Ink was formed. That's the genesis of the company that now provides us Spry dental defense system. I use it every day, my wife does, Mike children do, and many of my wise healthcare colleagues use this because they know the science behind it. They know if they use it. We know if we use it, we're going to reduce our risk of dental problems, dental cavities, dental

issues across the board. And when we see our dental hygienist in the dentists, they are impressed because our teeth and gums are a lot healthier. And you don't have to worry because the Spry toothpaste and mouthrins comes in peppermint, cinnamon inspiment, so you're going to like something there and

the gum of the mints delicious. Same company that makes the Clear Nasal Spray family, whether it be the regular one or the one that's the Rescue formula, which is the one I love and use, and you should find out more about that too, Clear Rescue Nasal Spray or the Spry Dental Defense System. They're available at CBS and write aid pharmacies, Target vitamin shops, Sprouts, and all natural

grocers stores. For more information, go to their website Clear dot com x l e a R dot com x L e a r dot com for the Spry Sbry Dental Defense System and the Clear Nasal Spray families. All right, it's time now for the health outrage of the week. She's don't come on east for the Hillbridge. It's nothing but it is outrageous and I want to bring it to your attention and it needs to change as soon

as possible. And that is women less likely to get correct treatment in the emergency room or the er department of hospitals because they're viewed as hysterical and exaggerating. Women presenting to emergency departments in pain are less likely to receive medications for their pain they need to treat compared

to men. That's what new research is showing. An analysis of discharge notes of more than twenty one thousand patients from the state of Missouri and the country of Israel showed that female patients were less likely to be prescribed pain medication and their symptoms were more likely to be dismissed because doctors who saw them believe that they were

hysterical and exaggerating. How outrageous is that, ladies and gentlemen, Doctor Alice Giles Hillel, a co author and doctor of Hidasha Hebrew University Medical Center in Jerusalem, said, and I quote women are viewed as exaggerating and hysterical, and men are viewed as more stoic when they complain about pain close quote. It is the latest evidence ladies and gentlemen of sex bias in conventional medical circles in medicine, with women also less likely to be treated for a heart

attack than men. I mean, how outrageous is that MD physicians put sex bias in medicine to the test by presenting both male and female nurses with identical fictional vignettes about a male patient and a female patient presenting with severe back pain. Well, the first thing they should have done is referred them to the proper healthcare provider, a chiropractic physician, instead of treating them with those toxic drugs that don't work for back pain anyway. But I digress.

When asked to assign a pain management score to male and female patients who had back pain with the exact same complaint and history, nurses perceived female patients pain as less intense and less deserving of treatment. Another outrage, of course, pain is subjective, and doctors and nurses rely on patients to rate it on a scale of one to ten, with ten being unbearable the worst. Medical professionals decide whether to administer pain medication or pain drugs and how strong

it should be based on the patient's history. What they're telling them well. The latest research published in the proceedings of the National I Mean of Sciences reported that women, even when rating their pain as high on a scale, we're nearly twenty percent less likely to give pain, to get or to receive from mds. We're less likely to get pain drugs or pain medication than men even when their self reported pain ratings were the same. What a

double standard, that is. What an outrage it is to treat women differently than men when it comes to pain or comes to heart attack symptoms. This needs to change, and that's why I qualified as the health outrage of the week. You are tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin Show.

I'm here for you. You can find me on my website and learning where we're at and what we're doing over there at doctor bob dot com. Always that's our anchor, doctrbob dot com. There's news, there's podcasts, there's lots of stuff for you to learn about. Now. I apologize because today we have been so content health content intense. We haven't been able to take calls. We've had a special

guest almost for the entire hour. First hour is such an important topic that we will try to get to a couple of calls before the end of the hour. But I have for you first this week's installment of the product recall of the week. Here we go. The company Samsung recalls slide in electric ranges due to fire hazard. You may have one of these babies because a million, one and twenty nine and five of those have been sold and are out in the marketplace. Samsung electric ranges

starting on fire. The hazard the front mounted knobs on the ranges can be activated by accidental contact by humans or pets or small children posing a fire has Samsung has received hundreds of reports of unintentional activation of the front mounted knobs by humans or pets. These ranges have been involved in at least two hundred and fifty fires, and at least eighteen of the fires caused extensive property damage. Approximately forty injuries have been reported, eight of which required

medical attention. There were reports involving seven fires involving pet deaths. The remedy consumers should contact Samsung to receive a free set of knobs and knoblocks to cover compatible with their model of electric slide in range to install. Consumers using the recalled ranges without knoblocks or covers are cautioned to keep children and pets away from the knobs, to check the range knobs to ensure they are not gonna be in trouble now. These were purchased, by the way, just

so you know, Samsung Electric slide in ranges. They were purchased at best Buy, Costco, Home Depot, Lows and other appliance stores nationwide or online at Samsung dot com, depending on the model, and the ranges were sold for anywhere between twelve hundred dollars to three thousand dollars and as I mentioned, one million, one hundred and twenty thousand and

nine hundred and five of these units went out. So there's a lot of people listening inside of my voice that may have these Samsung slide in electric ranges in their kitchens and they don't even know about the hazard. That's why we do the product recall of the week so that you keep informed where were they manufactured? Well, luckily they weren't manufactured in China. We're almost always telling you about these recall products in China, but this one

was manufactured in Thailand. Thailand. All right, that's the product recall of the week. Let's get too. There's other news that I wanted to share with you today, and it's about cucumbers and apple peeling. For hell's sake, you know, everybody thinks that washing their fruit and their veggies is gonna wash away the pesticides like raid on the fruit and veggies that you get in a conventional grocery store.

Just isn't so, folks. Those pesticides and fungicides and insecticize all these things that are sprayed there may have been sprayed on these products, these plants when they were like seedlings, and so they become incorporated. You can't wash that off. Washing fruit and vegetable before eating is common practice in most American households because they know that this stuff is used extensively, especially in the United States. These toxic sprays

that are cancer causing. But new research suggests that this might not be enough to eliminate potentially harmful cancer causing pesticides from your produce. And this gives rise to why you need to find a grocery store natural grocers that sell one hundred percent USDA certified organic produce. There isn't a single piece of produce in their fruits or veggies

that do not get that stamp of approval. That's why natural grocers is a perfect choice if you can, or any grocery store that says it has one hundred percent USDA certified produce. Experts at this university that discovered this used a highly sensitive film to pick up traces of chemical pesticides that other tests fail to spot. Tests on apples and cucumbers, as what as other foods like shrimp, rice found that washing foods did not did not eliminate

traces of pesticides that have been linked to cancer. The scientists say their findings offer evidence that washing fruit and vegetables is in sufficient and suggest peeling foods like apples and cucumbers instead. Well, that's unfortunate because when you peel it, when you peel an apple and you peel a cucumber off, you're losing the outside cover, which is packed full of anti cancer nutrients and other antioxidants and nutrients you need

and want so to me. Yeah, it's it's okay to peel it, but you're losing a part of the plant. You need to help your health out, why not just get organic and eat the whole thing in the first place. That's the goal, that's the idea. All right, we're coming back with the Health Mystery of the week. You're tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin Show. You go down. It's the Doctor Bob Martin Show, and we so appreciate you

tuning into the program today. Thank you for that. Now, we have been so busy with health related content, we haven't been able to take callers. But let's go ahead and go to the call. A couple of calls before we get to the health Mystery of the week. Here's Michael in Lake Kavasoo City, Arizona.

find out if you have it. Because if you're eating anything with seaweed or tuna or shrimp or eggs or any salt in anything like, you're getting eyed on exposure. So find out it's probably not that. But if it is that way, you can look for elimination of certain things. And I thank you for your phone call. Next up we have a caller comment.

we have the health mystery of the week. Well neurologists attempt to explain why millions of Americans have been struck by mysterious migraines about a week and a half ago. If you were struck by an unexplained headache, you are not alone. Doctors say storms along the East Coast would have caused migraine misery for millions of Americans, even those who aren't normally prone to them. While the true mechanism is unknown, this could be due to changes in the

atmospheric pressure that come with heavy rain and humidity. When this pressure decreases, more air floods into the sinuses, leading to head pain and head sinus pain. And extreme weather like thunder and an intense wind sets off electrical signals in the brain that can cause this pain. Well that's all good and fine, ladies and gentlemen, but hey, we're all part of atmospheric pressure. We're all part of the atmosphere.

But only a certain amount of people get these headaches from the change, which means those people will already compromise. They're already marginal with something, and it just takes the proverbial straw to break the camel's back. Find out what the other causes are. A lot of cause is the neck problem. See the chiropractor for neck distortion. Or get food allergies tested or hormones tested. That's the health mystery of the week. I'm doctor Bob Martin.
