We begin this hour with a way to prevent a disease which is skyrocketing in the United States, and that disease is
diabetes type two diabetes. According to statistics listen to this. The prevalence of diabetes type two diabetes has significantly increased in nearly all countries over the past few decades. In fact, here in the world Organization recently now considers diabetes a global epidemic that causes millions of deaths each year. It also warns that diabetes is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke, and lower limb amputation. But of course the average American says, oh,
it never happened to me, it's somebody else. Look, there are over fifty thousand amputations below the knee that happen to people who develop diabetes each year. Fifty thousand talk to nurses about this or involved in the trenches of taking care of these people. And look at all these centers that are opened up, kidney dialysis centers that people have to go in and get hooked up to to help clean their blood because the kidney has been destroyed. Their kidneys have
been destroyed because of the sugar in their bloodstream. It's happening and you need to know more about it. Research is at the University of Montreal and the Montreal Clinical Research Institute in Canada have discovered a promising new way to treat or prevent diabetes without pharmaceutical intervention. Now, I'm not here to tell you that
you shouldn't use pharmaceutical intervention should you have type two diabetes. I don't care what kind of drug gliburide or met form it or whatever it may be that you're on. I'm not here to say stop your drug. Do this. That's a decision you'll have to make. That's a decision you'll have to make
in combination with your doctor and or your pharmacist. But believe me when I say, and the research bears this out, Type two diabetes is mostly preventable and reversible if you can get it in time before it damages you too much, before your eyes are damaged, before you're starting to go blind, before your kidneys are starting to fail, before you have that first heart attack or
stroke, or that poor circulation in those leg ulcers. Now. In their study, which appeared in the Journal of Cell Reports, the researchers reported that increasing one's intake here's the payoff, intake of vitamin K. That's it. Increasing one's intake of vitamin K could help reduce one's risk of diabetes, whether they have pre diabetes already, which means your diabetes waiting to happen. There is no such thing as pre diabetes. In my mind, it's like being
a little pregnant. There is no such thing for that. You're either pregnant or or not when your doctor tells you that you have pre diabetes, which almost one hundred million people have in the United States, it just means you're on your way to the disease, and your doctor's gonna watch you until you get to the disease, until you hit the wall before they can start prescribing drugs to you. Now, how much sense does that make? Now you
wonder why we have a sick care system that's broken here in America. There you have one classic example of it. But you can do something about it today, starting now, because of this critical, crucial role of vitamin K that plays a chemical process in your body which occurs in cells that affect the proteins they secrete. The study found that the referred to special chemical process is important for your pancreatic beta cells and their ability to produce insulin, the hormone
that induces cells to take up all that sugar out of your bloodstream. That's poisoning your eyes, poisoning your kidneys, poisoning your heart, poisoning your blood vessels in your brain. Diabetes usually develops due to insufficient beta cells, or the insufficient production of insulin in these beta cells, or the lack of ability to sensitivity of your cells to take it up. But vitamin K, a fat soluble nutrient found in a variety of plant and animal based foods, is
known for its role as a coenzyme. Coenzymes are basically important drivers of biochemical reactions. Because of their role as catalysts and enzyme activators, Vitamin K acts as coin and several reports suggest and you should know this, that low levels
of vitamin K in your bloodstream. Insufficient levels of vitamin K in humans is associated with an increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome, which is a cluster of conditions that raise a person's risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, and yes, type two diabetes, which we're talking about here now. Researchers have also observed that low levels of vitamin K in morbidly and obese patients correlates positively with
the presence of type two diabetes while supplementation. Taking a simple inexpensive supplement of vitamin K tends to decrease their fasting glucose levels significantly. In fact, vitamin K is important as a nutrient that can get you can get from various foods and supplements. Vitamin K comes in two different forms you need to know this,
namely filiquinone vitamin K one and a mena quinone vitamin K two. Vitamin K one can be found in green leafy vegetables such as kale and spinach and broccoli and cabbage, and then your body has to convert that vitamin K two, however, which is the better of the vitamin K if you're going to
take it supplementally, if you want it fast and hard and efficient. Vitamin K two, also known as MK seven, on the other hand, is present in large amounts in fermented soybeans and in smaller amounts in certain types of
cheese, eggs, and meat. But according to a study recently publishing Diabetes Care, high intake of both vitamin K one through your veggies, your green leafy veggies and K two which you can get through these fermented soybean products and small amounts in eggs, cheese, and certain types of meat are associated with a lower risk of developing type two diabetes, which is on the rise, although the effect is more pronounced in the vitamin K two group taking Vitamin K
two also known as MK seven, MK seven and K two are found present in very high concentrations of Japanese traditional food called Nato and atto. Nato is made from fermenting soybeans, and this is why you see low levels of diabetes in Japanese people. They're reading fermented soy products in these Nato products all the time, and we should, as Americans, be doing the same. Diabetes would fall like a rock. We're coming right back with the health alternative of
the week. I'm doctor Bob Martin. If you're a big sports fan like me, sometimes the best part about watching a football game are the pre and post game shows. Well, it's the same for probiotics.

com spelling out the word doctor. All right, here we go this week's Health Alternative of the Week on the topic of the dilemma vitamin K deficiency driving a lot of diabetes in this country and a lot of other calcium related problems in this country, including calcium plaquing and the arteries and bone loss and everything
else. I decided to plug in the solution to vitamin K deficiency by talking about the Health Alternative of the Week called MK seven otherwise known as Vitamin K two, because vitamin K has, in my opinion, has been pretty much the Rodney danger field, if you will, of vitamins. It's just never really gotten any respect. And I think part of that is born out of just not knowing about it, not having enough information to decide whether vitamin K
is important to human health. Most people don't hear about it. They hear about vitamin C and vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals, but they really rarely get any information or knowledge er on vitamin K. And in this case, we're talking about the form of vitamin K which is really the most absorbable, the best for you, also known as m K seven MK seven vitamin
K two known as menequinone. It's a form of vitamin K and research shows that MK seven vitamin K two is absorbed better and stays in the blood longer than other forms. There are other forms of vitamin K. I think there are three or four other forms of it, but the research shows it's much better absorbed, with impressive health benefits in strengthening our bones, preventing and reversing osteoporosis, reducing the risk of diabetes, which I just spoke about the latest
research, and lowering our risk of some types of heart disease. That's how important. This week's health alternative of the week is MK seven vitamin K two, which is available health food stores. This vitamin directs the calcium to where it's supposed to go instead of where it doesn't belong, which is in your arteries on the walls causing everything to plack up or your kidneys. The K two calcium from keeps the calcium from depositing into these soft tissues your arteries,
your joints. Arthritis is often involved in this process, so if you got achy breaking joints, you want to drive that calcium into the right place, not into your joints, not into your arteries, and certainly not sabotaging your blood. Sugar biden k is present in certain foods and small amounts and poorly absorbed. However, and we're talking here about the green leaf vegetables, which
you should continue to eat because you're gonna get something out of them. And of course there's other nutrients to the phytochemicals and the polyphenols and all of that, and your foods you need to replenish. But I'll tell you what, Taking a supplement of vitamin K two, also known as MK seven is better to ensure consistent blood levels. Now you can find MK seven vitamin K two
supplements. They are encapsulated. They are soy free capsules, no sugar, no salt, no dairy, no wheat, no gluten, no artificial preservatives and flavors. MK seven K two is turning out to be a very very key vitamin, very important one. You can find them this particular supplement at all natural grocers stores nationwide, Natural grocers nationwide, and if you don't have a natural grocer's near as to where you liver work, you can also look
it up online Natural Grocers dot com, naturalgrocers dot Com. Now here's a caveyat though. If you are a person who's taking kumidin or some type of anti coagulating or any coagulator drug, be checking with your doctor about whether or not vitamin K two MK seven is for you to safely take, usually in a dose of about one hundred micrograms to two hundred micrograms per day. But if you're taking plavix or aspirin therapy, or kumadin or eloquist or any of
those, you're probably not a candidate for MK seven K two supplementation. But check with your doctor. For the rest of you who want to avoid the bullet of diabetes perhaps or osteoporosis joint issues, this is a great health alternative for you, MK seven Vitamin K two at naturalgrocers dot Com. Check it out for yourself this week's health alternative of the week. All right, let's go directly to your telephone calls. First up is Ryl. She's calling in
from the state of Oregon. Welcome to the Doctor Bob Martin Show. Cheryl. Hello, Hi, well, thanks for taking my call. Ijuiced a lot of carrots, okay, and they come in a plastic bag. And you've talked about plastic a lot. I want to know, does that plastic go into my carrots? Probably not as much as if you were drinking water
that was in plastic bottles for long periods of time. They recently discovered that you know, you're looking at the bottle, you can't see these things their microscopic but they did these They performed these research projects where they use lasers, very high tech lasers, to shine that into the bottle water, and sure enough, they found hundreds and hundreds of floating micronutrients as the water was leeching the plastic away from the side of the bottles over time, I don't think
as much you will find as much of that happening with plastic bags. But it's better to take it out of the plastic bag when you get it home and put it in maybe bottle or some type of a glass container. But better yet, why not just get organic carrots so you don't have to worry about the whole thing in the first place, Because if you get the organic carrots, you're gonna be less prone to having these pesticides and heavy metal toxics
in your carrots. I as bi organic, all right, so then you're yeah, you're better off probably than ninety nine percent sharel of the of the population. But I don't think that the carrots are in the bags long enough to create a problem. But if you're concerned about that, certainly you can take it out and place it in a glass container and reduce that risk altogether. And of course these microplastics, because and I'm glad you brought it up,
they're so ubiquitous in the environment. We need to be concerned about it. We're hearing about it and reading about it in major journals now all the time. So how do you counteract it? Well, you try to avoid it, and you're smart by doing that. You refrain from microwave plastics. You don't put plastics in microwave ovens. And you try to learn. If there's something that you can do to reduce your exposure, you're already doing it by buying organic foods. That's a good thing. You're worth it. And
of course engaging in physical activity so that you perspire. Some people think it's a plague, a curse on them. To perspire, you need to perspire. We have sweat glands for a reason. We need to use them. That's how we get these toxins out of our body. In fact, I find ways to sweat as often as I can through exercise, sauna, steam, whatever it takes. Deep breathing exercise very important. So and putting fiber in your diet, of course, all important to getting rid of these toxins.
Well. Coming right back with the health outrage of the week, I'm doctor Bob Martin. The 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. Cataracts occur when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy in blocks like from entering, which interferes with sharp, clear vision.

Standby for that. But I wanted to also remind you that this doctor, and my entire family for that matter, and most of my colleagues that are wise and able to wrap their head around the importance of dental hygiene are and are interested in trying to avoid tooth decay and avoidance of gingivitis, gum disease,
and peridontal disease, and bad breath for that matter. We all use something called spry Spry toothpaste and Spry mouth rints. And here is why we use Spry. If you get as uptight as I do about visiting a dental provider, here's what I do to be my own best dental hygienist and my own best dentist. Most of the time, I brush my teeth with Spry Spry toothpaste. Why don't I use Colgate or Crest or one of these things.
Just read the label. Read all the toxicity and all the junk that's in those prototypical toothpaste and mouthwashes which are too harsh and wreck the microbioume of the human oral cavity the mouth, and you'll understand why I use Spry Spry, the one that's rich in xylotol, the one that doesn't have these kinds of chemicals that can harm you and get into your body and undermine your overall health. That's why I use Spry Spry toothpaste, mouth rents, and I
also chew Spry gum and suck on Spry mints. The reason for that is that I can get this exposure to xylotol, which helps the oral cavity stay healthy and get rid of the germs and keeps them from sticking to my teeth and gums. Now, if you like the delicious flavors either peppermint, spearmint, or cinnamon, you're in good shape because that's what spray comes in. The secret sauce, which is really not a secret because it's sign it's based
is xylotol, used by millions of people. Xylotol is a plant based ingredient in Spry Spry tooth based de moothorins and gumn mints. It's anti cavity, anti plaque, anti bad news. The next time you open your mouth and the dental hygienis or the dentist looks inside your mouth and whispers, wow, you need some fillings and some root canals and crowns and extractions. Ouch. No, no, you won't and you'll decrease your risks if you do what
I do. In my family does Spry Dental Defense System creating an easy, inexpensive way to have xylotol throughout the day without needing to change your habits. If you want squeaky clean teeth, gums and breath, use Spry Spry Dental Defense. It's available at CBS and write EID pharmacies.

You don't believe it. Come on East for the health outreach because it's nothing budet Oh is it ever? Are you sitting down? Oh? My gosh. Revealed US is collaborating. The US is collaborating with Chinese scientists to make bird flu
strains more infectious and deadly as part of a one million dollar project. Despite fears similar tests unleashed COVID, the US government is spending one million of our dollars, our taxpayer dollars here in America to fund experiments on dangerous bird flu viruses in collaboration with Chinese scientists. I kid you not. The research involves infecting ducks and geese with different strains of viruses to make them more infectious and
study the viruses potential to jump into mammllion hosts. According to research documents, it is being funded by the US Department of Agriculture and collaborating studies will take place at sites in Georgia here in the US, Beijing, China, and Edinburgh, scott Scotland. It comes despite similar research being restricted in twenty twenty two and growing concerns that dubious Chinese studies may have started the COVID pandemic.
H Truth be Told did start the COVID pandemic. The documents were obtained by the campaign group the White Coat Waste Project. The papers show funding for the avion virus bird flu research began in April twenty twenty one and is slated to continue through March twenty twenty six. The us DA told this website the project was applied for in twenty nineteen and approved in twenty twenty to of the viruses they intend to work on are H five NX and H N and two.
A twenty twenty three study described this h n X viruses as highly pathogen with the ability to cause neurological complications in humans, and this other one. This H seven and nine strain, first infected humans and animals in China in March twenty thirteen, and the World Health Organization said it is concerning them because most patients will if they are infected by this rogue virus, will become very ill.
And the H N or the H nine N two strain has been found in dove in China, the bird dove, and while it has a lower pathogenicity, meaning it's the lower possibility of becoming a disease than other strains, it can also still infect humans. Now Justin Goodman, senior vice president of this organization is talking about out how the government is participating in this. It almost seems like is this out of a sci fi movie or a fiction novel.
No, it's not, It's true. This individual. Justin Goodman, senior vice president of WCW said in a statement, it is reckless and indefensible for bureaucrats to bank roll dangerous avion flu gain of function studies involving virus experiments from the notorious Wuhan animal lab that likely caused the covid infection to get started in the first place. And unfortunately, we as taxpayers shouldn't be forced to foot the bill or fund this kind of folly in this dangerous activity. It's
outrageous. I can't even believe it's going on, but it is, and that is exactly why it qualified as the health outrage of the week. Stay with us. We're coming right back. I'm doctor Bob Martin.

we had a special guest I wanted to talk about heart health. Pharmacist doctor James Leval was with us. If you missed that conversation about heart health and how to take charge of your heart health going forward and how to prevent very serious problems from happening associated with your heart, you'll want to listen to it in our podcast library as of this coming Wednesday over doctor Bob dot com. Spelling out the word doctor doctor Bob dot com our number one, doctor
James Leval. Now it is Heart Health Month, and I'm going to shortly here get to the top ten heart healthiest states, which we'll find out if you're living in one of those shortly. But before we get to that, we've got this week's product recall of the week to tell you about. Here we go, I've already read about this, but it's worth mentioning again and reminding you. It's about listeria. Back in the news again. Deadly listeria
outbreak prompts dairy product recall at Costco, Walmart, and others. The company that's involved in this, the maker of these product is called Rizzo Lopez Foods. You might want to write that down to avoid them. Rizzo Lopez Foods, Incorporated has issued a recall for cheese products linked to a deadly lysteria outbreak. Did I mention Rizzo Lopez Foods. A nationwide dairy recall linked to a deadly listeria outbreak has been expanded to include products sold at Costco, Walmart,
and other major retailers. The recalled products include and I'll go ahead and list these snack wraps, taco kits, salad kits, and other foods sold at grocery stores across the United States with dairy ingredients made by Rizzo Lopez Foods. Health officials said evidence linked the company's dairy products to an ongoing, ongoing, deadly listerious Listeria monocytogenes outbreak that has been under investigation since you're ready for this
twoenty fourteen, ten years. This company is being investigated for ongoing contamination of the food supply or this listeria infection contamination. At least twenty six people have fallen ill from consuming cheeses and all kinds of at least two deaths that are known twenty three hospitalizations in eleven states, according to the US Center such Disease
Control and Quasite Prevention. We're talking about states like Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington. God only knows where else this contaminated food has struck and struck people down. You don't want listeria, folks. The symptoms will start within two weeks of consuming it, and that's part of the problem. You may have consumed it two weeks past and all of a sudden you get sick.
And you who can remember what they ate the last meal or the last you know, the last dinner the night before, let alone two weeks later. That's the problem. Sometimes the symptoms of listeria, the infection of listeria, are delayed from these contaminated foods, and the symptoms can go on for all long time. Mild symptoms may include fever, muscle eggs, nausea, fatigue, vomiting, diarrhea, all symptoms of this dangerous listeria infection. And
it's impossible to get all food infections out of the food supply. But you got to rain these companies in that are violating these hygiene and sanitation rules. So many of them violate it, and then as soon as the inspectors leave, they just go back to doing what they were doing before. To cut corners, we need to shut them down and find better ways to surveil them for the purposes of protecting our citizenry. There you have it, the product
recall the week. Now we move from that right too, the top ten heart healthiest state since February is Heart Health Month. Now, we know that maintaining heart health is critical to our overall health, and as National Heart Month, February spotlights the necessity. For say, Forbes magazine Health collected data across each state here in the US to determine which states have the healthiest and which states have the least healthiest hearts. We'll go with the top ten healthiest heart

The 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.

Welcome you back to the final segment here on the Doctor Bob Martson Show.

there at doctor Bob dot com. D O C T O R Bob dot com. Time now for this week's installment of the health Mystery of the Week, Familiar Sense, Unlocked memories, and people with depression. Study after study has shown that people with depression have trouble recalling specific memories. They might hear a word like party, for instance, and think I don't get invited to
parties. Often, by contrast, someone without depression could hear the word party and immediately recall a childhood birthday or a recent celebration at a friend's house. It is not that depressed patients don't have memories, it's that they're having trouble assessing them that according to Kimberly Young and as Sociate Professor of psychiatry at the
University of Pittsburgh. Dr Young says they may have found a key in the study of understanding why it is that certain familiar sense things we smell could be tobacco, could be coffee, could be perfume set into motion memories and on certain memories in people with depression, and that is why they're studying it and want to know more about it. And it will remain a mystery until they figure it out. And when you're dealing with the human brain and those kinds
of memories, it will probably take a while. Also, I wanted to mention before we end the show. Today. Mental health experts are also saying one day doctors may prescribe holding one's hand to boost mental health. Whether you think it's romantic or cheesy, holding hands serves an important purpose in our mental health. That according to some experts, they're now claiming that the act, this mere act of clasping fingers with a romantic interest, dampens down threat signals
sent by the brain when we sense we are alone. The assurance of a comrade via physical touch most modulates the brain's response to stressful situation. That according to doctor James Cone, a psychologist at the University of Virginia, saying that handholding is crucial, a crucial part of human bonding. That babies instinctively do it when their mothers touch their palms because the hands are loaded with sensitive nerve fibers that connect to the vagus nerve in the brain the epi center of our
parasympathetic nervous system. So it helps to modulate our mood, our immune system, our digestion, our heart rate, the whole shebang. So get holding hands with more people, folks, and I want to wish you a healthy day and a healthy week until we talk again. You've been listening to the Doctor Bob Martin Show, Be Well,
