That's fine, that's over there at doctor Bob dot com. There you will need to spell out the word doctor dcd O R Bob dot com. Oh boy, do we have a
great show for you today. Oh my goodness, stick around please for the entirety of the pro because there's going to be something here for each and every
one of you. We begin with the topic of coughing, and I've done, oh, probably more than my fair share in my lifetime, mainly because it was one of those challenges early and often for me growing up when I was a young lad, because I had big time problems and issues with my lungs, having been diagnosed with asthma at a very young age, had chronic bronchitis, I was in I was hospitalized at least three times that I can remember for pneumonia and had to be you know, on oxygen or some you
know room that was isolated like that. So it's been a it's been a struggle. But good news is that once I found my way to natural health care, my lung issues, the asthma, the bronchitis, the chronic sinusitis, the proneness to pneumonia evaporated, went away, resolved itself. Once I removed the interference that was stopping my body from working correctly, I got better.
And that was really the genesis for me becoming a doctor myself, trying to figure out how if it was true to help myself out and through natural health care through other people who guided me along, why shouldn't I be helping others to do the very same thing that may be struggling. So that's what I did. That's how I became a physician. I wanted today start off talking about coughing for a very good reason. We're in cough season right now,
big time. I was on a flight recently and I'm telling you that was just I call it the the and you've been on them before, the flight from Hell, that where you hear every other row of seats somebody either coughing or sneezing or doing something where there's emissions coming from their pie hole. And you know that those those germs are gonna be wafting through the air and circulating in that tiny metal tube, and it's coming your direction, and it
may find you. And you better hope that your immune system is ready for the fight, because if it's not, you're gonna go down, you're gonna get sick, you're gonna have you're gonna suffer, you'll have low quality of life for a while, and who knows what else. But coughing is a whole other story. And nobody wants to cough, nobody likes to cough, But coughing is important. If we didn't have them reflex, the mechanism in
the human body of coughing, human beings would not exist. It is a preservation reflex mechanism that we have on board from our creator to help us to rid ourselves of some irritant, some fluid, some mucus, some bacterias, something anything for an object, anything that's in the lung that the lung doesn't like or recognize, it's not self, that's not supposed to be. Their body will try to get rid of it, and that's what it should do.
But unfortunately it can also turn on you a cough, especially when you're trying to sleep, or especially when you are annoying everybody in and around you with your cough. And that leads me to the subject of talking about cough medicines. I'll buy I'll tell you what. I've probably chugged down gallons of
it. I don't know. I know my parents did everything they could when I was growing up to relieve the coughing that I had and the inability to sleep, to the point where not only was cough medicine recommended and given to me, but they actually my parents trying to help me out and they're the best way they knew how. They had me actually swallowing vis vix vapel rub, thinking well, if you put it on the outside, it's gonna wonder
if it's good to have them swallow it and shut it up. I was swallowing this stuff was totally gross and harsh because it actually worked back then with the eucalyptus in it. But I digress. Cough medicines don't work, folks. The typical cough medicine on the market, they just don't work. This has been written about a lot. It don't work for you as an adult, and they don't work for your children. If you're among the more than thirty million people who run to a doctor every year because of a cough,
you know this isn't particularly good news that cough medicines don't work. So if cough medicines don't work, why do people? Then I guess you're asking why do people spend billions of dollars annually on over the counter cough medicines or cough related drugs. Why to fight off a cough, To shut down that cough so you can get some sleep and relief from the constant hacking. That's driving your mate crazy, or your children crazy, or your coworker crazy, or
your neighbor hearing you cough. If they don't work, why are there they able to be sold? Well, I'm sure there's something out there on the market, on the shelf in the drug store, over the counter, or a prescription drug that your doctor's given you that helped you cough, or at least you might have perceived it to. Maybe it knocked you out because of some of the drugs that were in that cough medicine that made you kind of drowsy, so that knocked you into the sleep cycle, as opposed to doing
anything whatsoever about your cough. Well, according to doctor Norman Endelman Norman Endelman, MD, Senior Scientific Advisor at the American Lung Association, he's got something to say about this, and I'm going to tell you what he has to say. You may not believe it, and then we're going to get into it hard and heavy on the subject of cough syrup. It doesn't work, but certain natural remedies do. You'll find out about those later in the show.

Welcome and welcome back to this hour of the Doctor Bob Marts and show. Thank you so very much for tuning into the program today and inviting people that you know in your life, maybe family members, co workers, friends, neighbors, to
tune in same place, to same time. Just jot down the call letters at the radio station you're listening to right now, the frequency on the dial, time of the day, and just send that out to as many people as you can, maybe on your social network, so they too can find this show and help their themselves out with health by learning more about health and wellness. That's what we do here each and every week. If you're just tuning in, we're talking about call the mechanism of how important it is to
cough and sometimes it's not important to cough. And sometimes yes you do need to try to relieve a cough, coughs or different different kinds of coughs, wet ones, dry ones, hacks, all that. We get that. But the topic is these cough syrups that are on the market today. They just they don't work, and a lot of doctors know they don't work, so why are they there. Well, according to Norman Edelman, MD, Senior Scientific Advisor for the American Lung Association, he says, and I quote,
people are desperate to get relief from cough. They're so convinced that these cough medicines work that they should buy them. Anyway, even if they don't work, you go better nothing. I guess to swallow the syrup. Maybe it'll taste like strawberry or something. I know that parents will give to their children. Strawberry flavored tie and all liquid which unfortunately not good and can turn
those poor little liver cells into soup because it's toxic. A sid of metaphine the active ingredient, and taileno and you know these these and we'll get to some of these formulations of cough medicines to let be alerted to the fact that they can be very, very side effect producing. But look, cough sometimes does need to shut down when it's really negatively impacting your health. Even though it's a double edged sword. You need the cough to get rid of the
stuff that's in the long field that's creating a problem. If we didn't have coughs, that stuff, we'd drown in our own fluids and we couldn't breathe. So coughing is important, but at a certain point in time, yes, you should manage it, you should control it. But most of the stuff that's on the market, especially over the counter drugs, they don't work.
They just don't yet. Doctor Edelman, who is a scientific advisor for the American Lung Association, continues on by saying it, I quote, we've never had good scientific evidence that cough's suppressants and expectorants help with cough close quote. This is a guy who is the scientific one of the scientific advisors for the American Lung Association, admitting that the medical profession has never had good scientific
evidence that cough suppressant drugs. You go into any drug store anywhere, and you'll find rows and rows and aisles of them, and these cough suppressants and expectorants, and you, the consumer are being completely duped and ripped off by commercials trying to brainwash you into believing that they actually work, so you go purchase them, and it might be the placebo effect working because according to doctor Edelman, MD, this senior advisor for the American Lung Association, they don't
work. To make matters worse, the vast majority of these cough syrups on the market contain scary, risky ingredients with adverse side of it potentials like well, let's just get let me just make an example of one. Okay, there's such a long list of them, the most popular ones like del Sim syrup and Buckley's Mixture cough suppressant syrup, and then there's Vis forty four and I don't mean to pick on Vicks forty four cough syrup but let me just
give you an overview of what is in this stuff. If you've ever I know a lot of people who are coughing, how can you care what it is? It could be you know something, Really, I don't care. I just want the cough to stop like yesterday. But one of the ingredients in these cough syrups often is dextro methorifan dextromethor fin. You may have heard of that before. But if you look at the ingredients, just for an example, I'm not picking on Vicks forty four, you could a lot of
these are the same. They have same or similar ingredients. But that particular formula has in it high fructose corn syrup. High fructose corn syrup in this In this formulation, you drink that long enough and consume that long enough, it'll jack your liver and your blood sugar. And it's unbelievable. Not only that has propylene glycol in it. That's an ingredient that is found in anti
freeze, folks anti freeze. Never mind that it has f D and c red dye number forty in it. Oh my god, you know, it's just and not only that, you know when you look at some of these side effects of this dex trow methorofan, one of the common ingredients in these cough syrups that doesn't work, but yet it's in there. That's what the science of medicine allows. These are the guys who always point the finger at the natural health industry. You say, oh, those guys are all quacks.
They're snake salesmen. None of that stuff has been proven. It's not FDA approved, and here they are selling drugs like this dextromethorofan that doesn't work on coughs. As an expectoratet it blocks the you know, the idea behind the drug is to block the cough reflex. But it doesn't work. And some of the side effects that some people are exposed to as a result of taking it blurred vision, difficulty urinating, drowsiness or dizzyness. Get behind the
wheel of a heavy piece of machinery like a car or truck. When you're on dextromethora fans some cough medicine or cough suppressant, drowsiness and dizziness, nausea, vomiting, shakiness, and unsteady. These I'm reading the side effects of this drug that's in Vicks forty four and a lot of other ones on the market, some of the more popular ones slowed breathing. And then you get
to some of the more serious side effects. If that wasn't enough of this drug dex trow methori fan, which is in a lot of these cough suppressant drugs and expectorants that people just wolf down with a giant leap of faith because somebody told them to do it or their doctor directed them to do it. And you see some of the more serious side effects psychoses, seizures, and comb Ah. Yeah, this, look it up for yourself. I'm not making this up. I'm talking about some of the more popular drugs that are
supposed to suppress the cough human cough, and they don't work anyway. People take them nonethelessing it well better, nothing better than just sitting there twiddling my thumbs. I'll just swallow this stuff. I'll maybe it'll knock me out. Well, guess what, there are natural ways, natural remedies that actually do
work and work with your body without the adverse side effects. I will explain that in the Health Alternative of the Week later in the program, and I'll give you some of it this hour as well, but I'm going to really zero in on it on the Health Alternative of the Week later in the show,
So don't go anywhere. But some of these more popular cough suppresses, like Delsim syrup, some of these I've never heard of, Buckley's mixture, caught the present VIX forty four, which I just mentioned, a robotoscin. Same thing. Soupcrats, they're lozenges. You've got the generic dex trow Methora fan, then you've got tile and all. If you want to turn your liver into soup. It is he pado toxic stuff. And when you give it to children, oh my gosh that you know they can't protect themselves from
these these cherry flavored and strawberry flavored doses. And I know people mean well when they give their children big doses of tile and all at night to shut them up so they're not coughing and keeping you up. But man, this stuff doesn't work, and yet we're loading them up, We're loading them up.
We will continue this conversation. It's important about cough syrups, the fact that they don't work and what to do about I'm doctor Bob Martin life not exist if humans were unable to make nitric oxide within our blood vessel walls.

Number one health concern as we move toward and beyond the age of retirement is fear of losing
our vision and therefore the ability to remain independent. Most of us, at some point in time have uttered the words I'm not seeing as well as I used to, or I think I need stronger glasses. If you are nearing or past age forty, it's not your imagination that your vision is getting worse. What is likely causing your vision to deteriorate is cataract formation.

We're gonna get back to the topic of coughs and the fact that these cough syrups and cough suppressant drugs that are on the market don't work based on a lot of research. Why are they on the market? Your guess is as good as mine. Stuff happens. Commerce happens, even though it's bogus. And we'll get back to the topic of coughs and what you can or what you should know about these drugs and what you should know as a parent or
an adult related to coughing, and just a little bit. But I want to to before we get back to that topic, talk about our immune system and how we can support it during these times of challenge. I mean, we're in and out of indoors outdoors now it's cooler or cold, depends on
what area of the country you're in right now. Then we go into the warm home or business where the air is dry and a lot of people getting sick and coughing, and we need to defend ourselves against things that are in the air that can take us down or the stresses that can pull our immune systems down. And I want to introduce you if you're unaware of one one

Now the power of Propolis is available in a delicious chewable tablet to benefit both adults and kids ages four and up. Now, Propolis
is not new to yours truly. I've prescribed it, recommended it to many many of our patients over the years. It's very versatile, and when you look at the science behind it and some of its historical background of use, you see that it is an anti infla amimatory substance, so it helps with inflammation, it's antibacterial, anti fungal, and it helps to modulate the immune
system in the right direction, and that's powerful. Propolis extract EP three hundred from Terry Naturally Vitamins features a unique profile of compounds that show astonishing immune support power.

Back to the cough and
the situation with CA coughing. You know, despite many of these cough syrups and cough suppressants on the market, most studies on the topic have found no evidence that over the counter cold medicines that have been out there for decades, cold medicines and drugs actually suppress the cough. They don't. Now, some people might get some relief, and that's a good thing, but plus ebol will do that too, putting like a just cough drop that has no active
ingredients in it. But when it comes to parents' parents, there're concerned about this. Of course, they're children coughing. They're concerned. They're not You're gonna wake up in the morning. I'm a parent of six children myself. You worry about your kids in the other room. You hope that one day, God forbid, you get in there and you find your kid not breathing. Although people of all ages can experience coughs, we know that parents tend
to worry when kids develop a cough. I was aeron, I gotta admit I was like one of those helicopter parents with my first or second child. Worried about them all night long. You know, are they They're in their coffin. Oh boy, okay, I got to get in there and start giving them some treatment. But never give cower drug cower cold drugs medications to a child who is younger than two years of age. That is a golden rule you need to remember. I know it's hard to resist because you don't
want them suffering. You don't want to hear them coughing. But underage too, Oh boy, do not do not do this, and check with your doctor if you have any questions. In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends avoiding these drugs, these drugs that are suppressing coughs, and that for
children younger than six years of age. And yet parents unfortunately go into the drug store and they pick up the over the countertile and all liquid strawberry and they just start pouring it down the mouths of their children, not realizing what they're doing. Giving your child cough medicine usually won't make the cough go away any sooner than if you did nothing at all. That according to this doctor
Edelman, MD, consultant to the American Lung Association. In other words, he's saying, look, it'd be better not to do anything then to give them the drugs, because the drugs will compromise them on other levels you don't
even know about. Cough medicine is associated with many, many side effects, and as I mentioned earlier, the drug dextro meathori fan Man, oh Man, when you look at the adverse side effects of that, dizzyness, nausea, vomiting, confusion, constipation, coma, seizures, Really, who would take that knowing that that's potential there? Who would do that? Well, some people do. They're desperate or they don't know. Ignorance is bliss right
now, there are reasons when coughs are caused by a bacterial infection. Yes, some people get too far behind the infection and they may require an anti biotic, there's no question about it. But viruses do not respond to antibiotics. Most costs are caused by viruses. Most coughs are caused by viruses. So giving people antibiotics won't work. And I know a lot of people, you know they get the antibiotic. Oh, I took the antibiotic. Now
I can get better. And the placebo effect kicks in, meaning they believe that it's going to work. Therefore they give credit to the antibiotic and add absolutely nothing to do with their cold getting better. Their body resolved on its own without the help of the antibiotic. All right, So we'll talk further on this topic of coughs and what you should know about we return. I'm
doctor Bob Martin. The number one health can concern as we move toward and beyond the age of retirement is fear of losing our vision and therefore the ability to remain independent.

right now. This show will be in the podcast library over on my website as of this coming Wednesday. Over at doctor Bob dot com doc trbob dot com. They look for the date, the hour. If you've got somebody that you believe could benefit by hearing this little dissertation I'm doing on coughs and cough suppressants and cough medicines and things you can do or should know about. We begin this segment talking about, well, what about medicines if they don't
work, why aren't they developing anything new? Well, there hasn't been a new effective development in the treatment of cough for more than a half century, folks, That's how long this has been going on. People being ripped off really by these drugs and medicines that are over the counter that don't work, and people continue to buy them coughing. You know, coughing is actually therapeutic,
unless, of course, it's interfering with sleep or it's excessive. Cough is important, and there is a time and a place to suppress it. When you cough, your body is trying to eliminate mu because there's some foreign material from your lungs or your upper respiratory airways, or you are reacting to something that is irritating the earway. So it's important to have that reflex.
You don't want to completely shut it down. It save your life. It's also important though that a cough is a symptom, not a disease, so once you uncover the underlying cause, you can be maybe better able to deal with it. And as I said, coughs can be productive or non productive. Productive cough produces mucus and phlegm, and that is important. You don't want to suppress that because if you do suppress that the mucus, you don't get rid of the phlem and the junk that's in your lungs, the fluid,
and it just builds up. Non Productive coughs, of course, can also occur with a common cold or a broncho spasm, you get allergies. Even these certain drug classes like ace inhibitor drugs can cause a non productive cough. What parents should know about coughs and kids, that's really what we need to focus on. And although people of all ages can experience cop parents tend to worry when their kids develop coughs big time, and I get it,
I'm a parent. Therefore, there are some natural things you can do. Now that you know these drugs that have buku side effects and don't work anyway, there are plenty of things you could do natural remedies for cough, including herbal teas study published Journal of Herbal Pharmacotherapy reported that a mixture of eight different herbs including cardamen, camemile, fennel, saffron, licorice. And you don't
have to have all of these. You can do them individually or you can make your own with you know, different ones can really help relieve cough without literally having side effects. We know that the old remedy honey works unbelievably good. You just can't give it to children kids that are two years or younger. They have to be at least two years of age to use honey in
lemon in. You know warm lemon water or tea. Peppermint is another great herb for helping benefit because of the menthol in that to help benefit people that don't feel like they're able to breathe well, or they have a cough, or they have congestion. Fentigree because another marshmallows another one slippery elm. These are things I've used in practice and people have used botanically since time immemorial. There's another herb that I love in helping people with coughs. It's called Andrographis.
We've talked about it's an eyravetic herb and there's plenty of randomized controlled trials showing how effective Andrographis is in treating the cough. They also called Indian ecchanasia. But we've talked about cops and how to relieve coughs, and there's a lot of reasons why the coughing happens, from a post nasal drip, to a viral infection, to a bacterial infection something you breathe in. I'm even a big fan of using these these chest rubs, and you can get natural
chest rubs that have eucalyptus and lavender in them in health food stores. And you rub that on somebody's chest and put a T shirt on them. There's homeopathic remedies that work very well for helping coughs ease. And if you're having a cough, you've got to clear the nasal cavity because that post nasal drip can absolutely cause a irritative cough. That's why I'm a big fan of Clear X l ear rescue nasal spray if you've got cough, if you've got an
irritating cough, that is definitely a must do. Clear x l ear. The X stands for Xylotol Rescue nasal spray. But you can also use nebulizers these excuse me, these nebulizers where you breathe in silver in a nebulizer ten parts per million liquid silver in a suspended fluid works really really well. And of course you should always if a cough is not clearing up, where it's
getting worse. Depending on the person who says, see your doctor, they need a doctor may need to put a stethoscope on your chest to find out if there's you know, pneumonia or some consolidation, or there's something that needs to have, you know, some type of triage or emergency care, no question about that, especially related to children or somebody that has a compromised immune system to begin with, or is frail. Never hesitate to do that.
But most of these things will get well. And if you'll stick around to later in the show, when I get to the health alternative of the week, I'm gonna zero in on one of the better cough treatments there is, and you get these at health food stores. Stick with us. It's the Doctor Bob Martin show. Life would not exist if humans were unable to make nitric oxide within our blood vessel walls. There are many factors that reduce our

I kid you not, that's coming up. All right, let's get to the phones. Here patiently waiting, and I apologize for the long wait. Was Eric calling into the show from Denver,
Colorado, where I used to practice. Eric, Welcome in what can I do for you today, sir, Yes, good morning, A question I have. I am a veteran. I do have high high blood pressures. It was under control, and I have boarderline type two diabetic. Now, however, I have not been to a doctor since the COVID started. And the thing is, before given the coach shot, things started. I had warned people two years prior that this was about to happen, and they
had to make a decision and I did not take the shot. I'm concerned about going back to a doctor because I haven't seen a doctor in two years since all this started. Okay, do you monitor you We're running out of time, Eric, Do you do you monitor your blood pressure? Yes, yes I do. My blood pressure has been I'm about a one one thirty over over forty one thirty over what one thirty over? I thought it was one thirty over forty. No, it can't be forty. Oh I got
my numbers wrong. Yeah, you do. You probably have. You're between one thirty and one forty over something on the bottom. Let me do this before we run out of time, though, and you should see a doctor if it's been that long and they're not going to force you into getting a COVID shot. That's something you'll have to do. If you're overweight, you need to work on that. Work on the stress too, because stress can be a big factor and nutritional supplementation can be a very important thing for you.
Exercise is critical. Yeah, So don't hesitate to you know, do something safe and natural to try to resolve this, and you may not even need the visit, but that's that's something you're gonna have to choose. But there are a couple formulas that I've been very successful with helping people with blood pressure control. One is called Chiolic blood pressure Health Kyo L I see. It's a combination of age garlic extract, natokinase, and theanine. There's another
one called blood Pressure Health and that is by Terry Naturally Vitamins. These are all natural, they're safe, and they work. Blood pressure health Terry Naturally Vitamins and Chiolic blood Pressure Health you can find them in health food stores. Good health to you and thank you for your call. Eric.
