related comment. And doctor Bob dot com my website spelling out the doctor. All right, Now, we begin this hour with, as promised, a discussion about a natural way to help children avoid ever needing to wear glasses. Boy, I wish somebody would have laid this on my parents and they would have imparted it to me when I was growing up, because I didn't have any of this information or knowledge.

Maybe it wasn't known about then, because I have myopia, which means I need to wear glasses when I'm driving heavy machinery visa VI my car for seeing at a greater distance because my long distance sight is impaired and yours maybe too, or maybe you have you use the cheater glasses. You know, you can see long distance like my wife. She can see for a mile, it seems with her good vision, but seeing up close she has

to use those little cheater glasses. I can see up close no problem, and seeing far away I have myopia. She has hypermiopia. So what about children? What can we do to help children early and often maybe helping them to avoid even needing to wear glasses. Well, here it is A new study is found that spending as little as fifteen minutes a day outside in bright sunlight could help prevent myopia in children. That's the problem, that's the

most common problem, myopia. What I have not being able to see at a distance, needing glasses or contact lenses. The study was public in the Journal of the American Medical Association JAMMA. It was conducted as part of the Shanghai Time Outside to Reduce Myopia Trial, a school based cluster randomized clinical trial that followed school children for two years. The study aimed to explore different sun exposure patterns and their association with the progression of myopia or near sightedness

in children. Myopia is a common condition where the eyes have trouble focusing, like correctly, causing distant objects to appear blurry while close up vision remains clear. This happens because the eyeball is too long or the cornea is too curved. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, myopia currently effects nearly thirty percent of the entire US population, and its prevalence is increasing, with nearly half the population expected to

be affected by twenty fifty. That is amazing, and here you have something. Something is simple as exposing children at an early age to bright sunlight outside for a short period of time, which will reduce this situation. Here are the study details the Journal of the American Medical Association. Study was a one year prospective cohort study that followed almost three thousand children who were approximately seven and a half years of age and split almost evenly between boys

and girls. The students spent an average of ninety minutes outdoors on a daily basis. They saw a decrease or a decrease in what is called the Maya optic shift. And I think this is about getting out in the outdoors where you have actually natural light instead of those fluorescent lights that these children are under all day every

day in school. Not good. The study authors wanted to find which of the patterns of outdoor exposure could reduce this myoptic shift that happens in these children's eyes where they don't see as well at a distance. They have

near sightedness, which is progressive and worsening over time. They found that outdoor exposure patterns where the children spent a minimum of fifteen minutes outdoors were associated with less myoptic shift, meaning these conditions helped reduce myopia, which is near sightedness people have and trouble seeing at a distance, especially later

in life and as you get older. It stopped the progression over the one year period of time, and the authors concluded that in addition to the total time spent out doors being critical, so are the specific patterns of exposure, especially continuous exposure for at least fifteen minutes of bright sunlight. Now. The results of the study goes on to say that growing rates of myopia or near sightedness increase the risk

of conditions that can endanger our vision. And we're talking about diseases that people don't get diagnosed with until later in life, such as glaucoma, cataracts, myoptic maculopathy, which impact our quality of life and increase health care costs for

those being affected. So those eye problems that we develop early in life where children need to be placed into glasses because they can't see at a distance, they can't see the board in front of them while they're trying to learn in school, and they need to be placed in glasses. And that's the end of it right there. There's all kinds of vision training that you can provide for children. We did this with our oldest daughter, who's

now a nurse. We put her in visual training through an optometrist because they were saying when she was in school that she was squinting and couldn't see the board. So they did visual training and it turned it around and she didn't need glasses. So you have that technique available through optometrists. And then you have this courage children to go outside, or schools to allow them to go outside where they spend at least a minimum of fifteen

minutes in the bright sunlight. Now I get what you're saying, Oh, you got to worry about the sunlight and Skincaitcher. No, no, no, we're not talking about getting sunburns. We're talking about school. You know, children who wear the appropriate clothes, who are playing out in the sunlight for short periods of time, and their eyes are being exposed to bright lights, reducing their risk of myopia or near sightedness, and all the

diseases that come later in life because of them. It's amazing how these things work and how we discover them. Wanted you to know natural ways to help your children avoid needing wearing glasses.

twenty two. All Right, we're gonna take phone calls in a little while, but first we have for you this week's installment of the Health Alternative of the Week. The Health Alternative of the Week is something alternative to what you currently may be doing that may not be as healthy for you as what I'm getting ready to tell you about. So this may become an alternative to what

you are currently doing or using now. Earlier in the program our number one, I discussed at length how red meat eating red meat can raise your risk of developing diabetes. Not me saying this, We're talking about Harvard researchers saying it and their description of it. And if you didn't catch that in our number one, I would go back and listen to it when the podcast library hits my website at doctor bob dot com, coming up maybe on Wednesday of this week over at doctor bob dot com.

And then our number one. Listen to it because it describes why it is. And yes, without a doubt, refined sugars and alcohol and junk food and process and ultraprocessed foods, all of those that contribute to diabetes and not exercising, I get it. But now we find an explanation as to why it is that red meat may raise your risk of developing diabetes and all the other problems associated

with it. So we provide a solution, or at least a partial solution here in the Health Alternative of the Week segment by telling you about Applegate Naturals Savory Turkey breast turkey breakfast sausage patties. Now, I have to tell you I have personally consumed these, and they are delicious, and they are certainly healthier than most of the other products that might be consumed in this category, in the poultry category, or maybe in the beef category. Because these,

you will learn are healthier for you. That's why we're presenting them in the Health Alternative of the Week. The company is named Applegate Naturals, and you'll know in a moment here why they call it naturals. And the product is called savory Turkey breakfast sausage patties, a great way to start your day as opposed to things that are full of junk and other chemicals. Jimmy Dean sausage and

all the other sausages that are out there. I know some of you are consuming, but here's a healthier alternative for you. My family loves them. You may too. Applegate raises their turkeys first and foremost with no antibiotics ever, no night traits. That's part of the problem with many of the meats that people consume. It's the stuff that they put in it, or put into the animal, either during their growth phase or afterwards, to make it look like it's not dead, to make it red and shiny

instead of white and dead like it really is. So there's no antibiotics in the Applegate savory turkey, breakfast sausage patties. There's no night traits, chemicals in there to preserve them for the next three thousand years. And then it consumes and then you get it into your body. No good. It's gluten free and they're humanely raise these animals. The problem with most meat is fueled by antibiotics in human

medicine and on the farm. Here in the United States, about seventy percent of all the antibiotics that are produced go into the animals that people consume, whether it be bee for pork or lamb or poultry, instead of people. Seventy percent of the antibiotics go to the animals, not people. Now we use too many of them too in humans, you know, prescribed drugs that are unnecessary, over prescribing of antibiotics,

you know, for the common cold prophylactic stuff. That's how we get into these disease mechanisms of these drug resistant organisms or microbes. They're just doing a backswim through the antibiotics. These days, they don't work anymore, the miracle drug antibiotics. Most time, these antibiotics are sub therapeutically used, a fancy way of saying that they're given to prevent disease from spreading.

In other words, they give this these shots of antibiotics to the animals so that well, let's give them ahead of time so they don't get sick. Well, they didn't even need it. They may not have gotten sick had they you allowed them to roam and see the sunlight and not be in their own squalor. And that's how Applegate Naturals rolls as a company. Due to applegates slogan no antibiotics ever, that's what they do. And due to applegate superior animal husbandry practices, clean barns, fresh air, and

more spaces, fewer animals need to be treated. Since founding Applegate, the company has worked hard to raise awareness about the misuse of antibiotics in animal agriculture, which can lead to antibiotic resistance superbugs, which we are in today. He Applegate the company that we're talking about, Applegate Naturals, the one that makes savory turkey breakfast sausage patties, which I had yesterday.

They were delicious. They're committed to producing food that fits your lifestyle and your budget, and they're using only clean ingredients. That means you won't find artificial colors, artificial flavors, genetically modified additives, hydrogenated fats MSG, and seven hundred other ingredients that you'll find in the prototypical you know, breakfast sausages in your typical conventional grocery store. Their goal is worry free food for whoever is at the table. I like that.

We were talking about heart health earlier in the program today when I told you about the fact that Japanese researchers are saying that they're are a massive amount of people who are suffering heart failure because they took a COVID shot, a lot of myocarditis, a lot of pericarditis, or the heart can't pump correctly. They think there's about a five thousand percent increase in those problems as a result of people taking COVID shots and damaging their hearts.

Not everybody's gonna get it, but there's a big rise in it, which is problematic and they're concerned about it. But there are a lot of reasons why people have heart problems. I mean a lot of reasons. It's a major issue. Your heart health is critical to your overall health. Your heart is responsible for pumping nutrient rich blood throughout

Time now for the health outrage of the week. She's you don't believe it. Come on each time for the health outradge because it's nothing but all right. Here we go again, the health outrage of the week. Doctor Fauci's at it again.

COVID cases rise. I guess doctor Fauci didn't learn anything from reading the Cochrane Review, one of the most respected bodies of scientific information on the planet, when they concluded masks face masks do not don't work to stop COVID infections or any other viral spread for that matter. This last Monday, the former director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Disease, doctor Fauci said, and I quote, the message is that if you are in a risk category,

you have got to take this seriously. And I say, what what, Get more shots like you, doctor Fauci, and get more COVID infections like you, doctor Fauci, even though you've been jabbed as much as a pincushion. Because you want to destroy your immune system's ability to do and fight infection, you want everybody else to do the same thing. I don't think so that's outrageous. Well, the eighty four year old Dr Fauci told people with co morbidities and seniors,

you should be wearing a mask in crowded places especially. Well, I guess, I guess that is all he has to offer these days, but it still doesn't work. He also revealed he contracted COVID about two weeks ago or three weeks ago. It was his third COVID infection, and he's been shot up and boosted a total of six times already. Doctor Fauci's face mask guidelines have long been criticized as people claimed they did not and do not work to

prevent the spread of COVID. They just don't work. So where can you go with the outrage of doctor Anthony Fauci. It's all over the board, and it begins on the face once again with him encouraging people to don those face masks, those nasty face diapers. The health outrage of the work, it is all right. We can move right from there to the product recall of the week. The product recalls. From here we go urgent cucumber recall in

dozens of states due to massive Salamonela outbreak. Hundreds of cucumbers have been recalled after being tainted with deadly bacteria. The CDC announced that four hundred and forty nine Americans and at least thirty one states have been sickened with salam manila, a food born bacteria that affects one point three million Americans each year. Of those, one hundred and twenty five of those people of the one of the

four to forty nine have been hospitalized. However, the CDC noted that the true number of sick people is likely much much higher, as many recover without seeking medical health, meaning they never got tested. So two of the growers of these cucumbers were in Florida, Bednert Growers and Thomas produce not good and some of the states being affected and being followed and being hit the hardest. Pennsylvania, New York, Florida, Virginia, and a bunch of other states have been impacted by

this product recall. So make sure that if you are using or purchasing cucumbers, you find out if that is part of the recall in the store that you're purchasing. Better yet, why not go get them at a place where they sell one hundred percent USDA certified organic cucumbers. That would be Natural Grocers. All right, when we come back, we've got the top ten health related concerns of Americans, and we're going to take some of your phone calls. You're tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin Show.

their question. That number is toll free nationwide eight hundred six zero six eighty eight twenty two. Use that number to ask a question about your health or somebody else's health, or to make a health related comment or heap praise on the host. That would be me. Eight hundred six zero six eighty eight twenty two. Time now for the health or the top ten health related concerns of Americans.

Here we go, all right. Researchers recently presented a list of twenty six health related concerns to determine which ones were very worried about. The top ten health related concerns of those surveyed were as follows. Number ten. Access to affordable healthy foods number nine. Inaccurate or misleading health information. That's a big category that a lot of Americans are

concerned about. They see all the fraud with pharmaceutical companies in trying to get their products to the marketplace, and doctors writing fraudulent reports and studies and fuzzy math number eight on the list of top ten health related concerns of Americans. Health care quality number seven. Access to quality home care, assisted living and nursing home care number six on the top ten list of health related concerns of Americans.

Cost of dental care number five. Cost of health insurance Medicare and you heard me in the first hour of the show talking about how Medicare is being ripped off by insurance providers participating in the Medicare Part C program number four in the last financial scams and fraud number three.

Cost of prescription drugs number two in the list of top ten health related concerns of Americans cost of medical care, and the number one concern of Americans is the cost of home care in living and nursing home care, That's the number one call concern. What happens in the end?

way back, and it's really all about inflammation. Cholesterol is not the enemy. Cholesterol is a We make what seventy eighty percent of our cholesterol right in our liver. No matter what we eat, we have to have cholesterol. Cholesterol. We couldn't live as human beings without it. It's so important for your nerves, your blood vessels, your joints, your hormone system. It's so important we make it an enemy.

The drug companies made it an enemy years ago so they could produce drugs so that people could buy them. What you have to be worried about, little chestnut is inflammation. The cholesterol goes to an area where there's inflammation to try to mend the injury. It's not the the cause of the problem. And that's why attacking cholesterol doesn't work. And the studies prove this out that giving people cholesterol lowering drugs does not improve their longevity. It doesn't. Oh,

it may have some minor effect on lowering inflammation. But there are other pathways that could be utilized, like using Omega three oils to reduce inflammation. We're talking about salmon oil epadha. Eating a diet that's anti inflammatory, like the Mediterranean style diet would be a good choice. Work with a doctor who's trained in functional medicine or integrative medicine to get a better outcome. Here. Somebody who might be able to say, well, look, instead of taking statin drugs,

because your quality of life is miserable. They are damaging your muscles, probably damaging your liver. Damaging your muscle, may damage your microgalia in your brain. I mean, there's so many side effects with these statin drugs. They're so problematic. That's why people stop them. Their compliance is low because it makes people feel so terrible. And not only that, it doesn't improve your longevity. It doesn't, so learn more

about that. There are options that you can utilize. But attacking the inflammation by knowing your cardiosensitive C reactive protein and your homocysteine and your and your apl one B cholesterol molecules. It's a small molecule as a large one, what do you need to do? Many other doctors that are alternative doctors know how to manage this and you deserve to know that as well. I thank you for your phone call. We'll be right back. I'm doctor Bob Martin.

All right, you're tuned in to the Doctor Bob Martinsen Show, Our Doctor Bob Martin Show. Caller hotline should you want to ask a question about your health or somebody else's health, or make a health comment is one eight hundred six zero six eighty eight twenty two. Eight hundred six zero six eighty eight twenty two. It's time now, ladies and gentlemen, for the health mystery of the week. Well, there's a frightening theory about mystery wave of brain diseases terrorizing local community,

leaving people paralyzed and unable to walk. A mysterious wave of brain diseases has been sweeping across Canada, leaving locals with sudden memory loss, paralysis and seizures. Since the initial outbreak, hundreds of p people claim to have been struck down by an unusual series of symptoms linked to a yet

unknown mysterious condition. The case count now sits around four hundred and thirty, with thirty nine deaths and roughly a quarter of those people under forty five, according to doctor Allier Moreno, a neurologist who is one of the first physicians to draw attention to this issue. The Canadian government has rejected the idea the cases are linked, but doctor Morenos disagrees and has performed his own tests finding high

levels of pesticides in patient's blood. His leading theory is that the mysterious decline is caused by something in the environment, he says. And I am not concluding that this cause is what is happening, he told The New York Times. But it is something that is telling me that something is wrong with the environ the victims live in. So, folks, this is another reason to avoid pesticides in your produce. Get to a place where they sell USDA one pesticide

free organic fruits and vegetables. Hopefully they will find out what the cause of this mysterious disease really is. That's the health mystery of the week. Let's take a phone call before the end of the show. Here is David in Norton, Virginia.

Could be some infection in the tongue, could be something more serious than that. But don't let this continue on. It's gone on too long. You need to be seen by a doctor who can get to the bottle of this for you, my friend, and I hope you do just that. All right, ladies, John, we've come to the end of the show. I want to ISSH you a healthy day and a healthy week until we're here again. Next week, same time, same place. I'm doctor Bob Martin. Be well.
