five three seven two six two one triple eight fifty five Doctor Bob. That's eighty eight five five three seven two six two gets you into the show and on the air to ask your health question, or if you have something on your mind you want to make a health related comment related to what we just discussed last hour with doctor James Lavelle, pharmacist, clinical nutritionist, author.
We had him on the program last hour talking about how to balance out the immune system using plant sterols and sterilens in the form of something called mogic. Here that was a fascinating conversation and a great guest to get a perspective from a doctor who is, in addition to being a pharmacist, also a very astute clinical nutritionist. So we'll continue our conversation here this hour with open line, open topic health related questions, anything that's on your mind. Happy to
try to help you out. But I'm going to begin this hour talking about a very troubling bit of information that I ran across published in the Epidemiology and Psychiatry Sciences related to birth control pills. Now, obviously birth control pills are designed mostly to stop women from becoming pregnant, but women take birth control pills for a variety of reasons, maybe their menstrual cycle is off, or some other reason that they have at endometriosis, or trying trying to somehow modulate the
immune system. But birth control pills, you may not know this can greatly increase the risk of depression those women who are taking birth control pills. I wonder if it was disclosed to them beyond the normal disclosure. You know, it can cause blood clots, and it can cause you to gain weight and have tender breasts, and the many many and B six deficiency and all the different things that birth control pills. When you fool with mother nature and especially
the hormone system, what can happen. But most women, I dare say, do not hear that taking birth control pills could cause depression, could increase the risk of being depressed. And if there's anybody out there listening right now to the sound of my voice and knows a woman who is on birth control pills and they develop depression, I'd like to hear from you. New research suggests that women who use combined contracept to pills are significantly more likely to develop
depression than women who do not. A recently published study found that contraceptive pills birth control pills increased women's risk of depression. Get this. You're sitting down for this, and you might say to yourself, Oh, I've got a daughter that's on birth control pill I've got a niece that's on birth control pills. My wife is on birth control pills. It increased the risk in this published study, the risk of depression by taking birth control pills by seventy three
percent during the first two years of use. Seventy three percent. That's huge. I know what you're saying. Well, then you just go back to the doctor, you get something for the depression. Now you've got birth control pills going in, messing with the immune system and the hormone system, and you've got now drugs psychotherapy type drugs with the brains chemistry in some manner.
Study I'm talking about where it showed that the risk of depression goes up seventy three percent was published in Epidemiology and Psychiatric Services and was conducted by researchers at Uppsala University in Upsala, Sweden. Although women have long reported symptoms of depression due to their birth control pills, few studies have shown evidence of the phenomena.
And you're saying to yourself, well, this is probably a very small study on a very small group of women who suddenly got depressed with taking birth control pills. No, no, this is not a small study. This was two hundred and fifty thousand women. Two hundred and fifty thousand women were studied from birth to menopause, collecting data on their use of birth control pills
and the onset of depressive symptoms. Researchers focused only on combination contraceptive pills containing synthetic progesterone to prevent ovulation as well as estrogen to inhibit implantation of a fertilized egg, and according to the researchers, their data indicate that women who use contraceptive pills as teenagers had a one hundred and thirty percent higher incidents of depressive symptoms than those who did not. Among the adults on contraceptive pills, the
studies showed a ninety two percent increase risk of depressive symptoms. That is so large and people cannot put their finger on it. You know, suddenly somebody's taking birth control pills for a variety of reasons, maybe to stop having you
from becoming pregnant, and suddenly they're depressed. According to doctor Teresa Johannesson of the Department of Immunology and Genetics of the Pathology Upsolete University, on the studies leading researchers, she says, and I quote the powerful influence of contraceptive pills birth control pills on teenagers can be ascribed to the hormonal changes caused by puberty.
As women in that age bracket in that group have already experienced substantial hormonal changes, they can be more receptive not only to hormonal changes but also for other life experiences. So you add stress on an already changing system on a woman by giving these synthetic analog drugs two young women, and nasty things can
happen, can go wrong. Now, there are obviously plenty of women that have taken birth control pills, and beyond the breast tenderness and the water retention and maybe increasing the risk of gall bladder problems and problems with their female system, they don't feel a thing. They feel great. In fact, they're less depressed because they know that they can stay sexually active and not become pregnant.
I get it that there's a group, but I wonder how many women knew, how many women cared that they had such an increased risk of the development of depression as a result of taking birth control pills. The question becomes is it worth it? Was it worth it? And some might say, yes, I didn't get pregnant. I'd be very depressed if I got pregnant. But at the same time, I wondered why I was so depressed after
I started those birth control pills. Well, at least now I know, all right, We'll come back to your questions here On The Doctor Bob Martin Show one, Triple eight five five three seven two six two be right back. The number one health concern is we moved to warden beyond the age of retirement is fear of losing our vision and therefore the ability to remain independent.

five three oh nine or Tahiti Trader dot com sat catches. All right, welcome or welcome back to this hour of the Doctor Bob Martin's Show, and thank you so very much for tuning into the program. Today. We're gonna go to the phone calls and open topic questions here. The phone lines are loaded, so if you're on hold right now and you've been screened to go on the air Be patient. We'll get to all of your calls. We're gonna begin with Alan, who's calling from the state of Iowa. Welcome to
the program, Alan, Hello, Hello Dot Bob. Yes, go ahead, you're on the airline. Okay. Um. I'm sixty five, fairly good health. Um, just a week or so ago, started getting a pain in my right bodock. I went to a doctor. They think it's a satic nerve, and over the last few days it's starting to get worse or it's moving down into my leg deeper, and it's just the expruciating pain.
Um. Basically they gave me mock the cam or something. It's a I'd be like and I'd be profen uh anti inflammatory, and I'm taking that that's not doing anything for me whatsoever. Okay, trying to figure out if you had me right ideas on what made what the best course going forward here? All right, let me ask you a question, Allen. Is the pain that you're experiencing or the sensation that you're experiencing, is it lower than your need? Is it going to your calf or your heel or ankle or
foot? Um? Hey no, not necessarily no, but it's starting to move further down my leg then nother than it has in the last few days. Okay, it sounds yeah, it sounds like you have sidica. You're
describing the sidic nerve, and that is a problem. It's not a good fit for you to be in or medical care for a structural problem like this, because if this sidic nerve is being encroached or entrapped in your lower back, which is the most common sight in the lumbar spine lower lumbar spine, lumbar vertebrae number four or five, or lumbar sacrum segment, or it's being entrapped within your butt muscle itself in a muscle called the puriformist. It can
be spasmodic and it can squeeze the pureformist muscle there. So you have a couple of two or three or four different sites where that siding nerve can be irritated. The doctor of choice with a condition like this, Allen is a chiropractic physician. That's who you need to see. That's the doctor of choice for this condition. Meanwhile, what you should be using, what you should
be doing before you get there, is using ice over the area. I would get go to the drug store and get several of these gel ice packs, put them in the freezer, take out one once it's frozen, and put it over the area where you're feeling it in your hip or buttox area, maybe one on the lower back as well, and leave it on there
for fifteen to twenty minutes. Fifteen to twenty minutes, then off for an hour, and then back on and try to rest, don't exercise, stay off your feet, and try to let this calm down own until you can get in and properly get evaluated, which means you need an exam that includes orthopedic tests, neurologic tests, range, emotion, and you need to have an X ray. Was an X ray taken of your back yet, Alan, No, I have not. No. Yeah, that's a mistake.
When you have that kind of pain, you need to have a roadmap so you know what's going on. This is most likely structural, biomechanical and a drug on this even though I have no problem with people taking painkilling drugs short term, but you got to get to the reason for it, and you got to correct the underlying problem. And the reason it's not helping you is because the underlying problems not being addressed the drugs, not even numbing it up.
So there's your body's telling you something's much worse than just a minor strain of a muscle for which analgesics and rest will help. So I would first thing Monday morning, if I were you, find a chibropractor in your area to go get examined, and that should do the job. And I appreciate your phone call, Alan, Hope you feel well soon. Next up is Irene. She's calling in from the state of Colorado. Welcome to the Doctor Bob Martin's show. Irene. Hello, Hello, Doctor Bob. I have
a problem. I'm eighty five and I'm pretty active, so I've got lots going on in my life, but my scalp has got thick dandruff and I cannot get rid of it. I've tried everything, even over a prescription, and I do. Yeah. And dandruff can be caused by a number of things. It can be caused by yeast or fungus, and that's where a lot of these drugs that are used on the scalp are targeting, trying to kill the fungus or kill the yeast. And usually this is a problem that
happens inside your gas or intestinal track. First, it's where it gets out of balance. It could be second dairy to you being on medications, or maybe in the past Irhne you took antibiotics and it upset the balance of your gastrointestinal area. And now this is sort of overtime the problem. The other part of it is that dietarially, if you're not taking in the right kinds of oils in your diet, like the essential oils, essential fatty acids like
Omega three. These are the kind of oils you get from eating fish like salmon and eating sardines or anchovies, or even you can even use coconut oil if you want. But where to start on This is the simplistic part. Start drinking more pure water, get rehydrated, because sometimes it has to do
with dehydration that leaves this susceptible too. Then I would say to go to the health food store, pick up some Omega three fatty acids in the form of salmon oil, maybe Nordic Naturals ultimate omega, and take three to four thousand milligrams that on an empty stomach each day. You can also use coconut oil as well. In fact, you can Massage coconut oil into your scalp, which has something in it called loric acid and caprillic acid. These are
very strong antimicrobials, anti fungal agents. Because I can tell you that people who get dandruff usually the problem starts in their gastrointestinal system, their bowel, and it's caused by something getting out of balance there and eventually the weakest part of the body wherever it is, is going to experience the symptoms. To get your attention, so start using in your diet more garlic and onions. These are foods that help fight fungal infections and these yeast over growth infections.
It ultimately leads to dandruff, very recalcitrant, hard to clean up, hard to clear out dandruff. Massage that coconut oil into your hair just before you go to bed at night. If you want to put something on your head, like something so that the oil doesn't get over your betting your pillow, you can do that as well, and then to simply wash it out the next day. And you do not want to use harsh chemicals as a shampoo.
When you go to the health food store to pick up the supplements, either the omega three fatty acids, maybe some Kyowa lagarlic that would be good internally as well, and maybe even some probiotics because the gas or intestinal region needs to be re established. Something has hit it hard and until you manage that, the skin problem on your scalp is not going to get better. So you come at it from the outside end and the inside out. That
is the best approach for something like this. Now there's a whole bunch of other considerations to people who have got, you know, dandruff, certain deficiencies,
zinc. I've used zinc on people in the past. There are other nutrients as well, But this will give you the basis of where to start, because if you only focus on the head where the problem is, you're not going to get to the core or the central genesis of this problem, which was in your gastrointestinal track, your ball and so many of the drugs that are used on this just makes the problem worse. So think fungus, yeast, and mold. Get away from sugars. Sugar is the one thing
that will feed this. It's like pouring gasoline on a fire. Sweets and sugar and junk food, candy, ice cream, those are things you want to stay away from those exacerbate this problem. All right, I hope this helps out. It's going to take time to get rid of it, but I think if you stay on track, Irene, you're going to be better
off. Thank you for your phone call. We'll be right back.

Welcome to the program, and hello Hike, You're so informative. Thank you so much. I wanted to mention to Allen in Iowa that I went to a trigger point chiropractor, and I tell you that made a big difference, because I went to another chiropractor and it didn't make any difference.
But anyway, what I'm calling about is armor thyroid. I've been on it. I'm on the lowest dose for a long time. And because the pork industry maybe putting mRNA vaccines into the pork, I don't want to stay on armor thyroids? What can I do to get off? Have you been on? What can I do to support my thyroid? You know? So I wouldn't you know or other alternative? Okay, let me ask you a
question. How long have you been on armor thyroid? Ten years? Yeah, Well, you're not going to be able to get off of it once you're on a thyroid support, whether it's T three and T four, which is what you're taking with armor thyroid, the desiccate type of thyroid, which used to be the gold standard. Now it's of course LEVI a thyroid synthroid all you all the different synthetic forms of thyroid, usually just one or the other T three or T four. So in this case, since you've been
on it a year, there's no turning back. You will probably and unlikely because I haven't seen anybody lately that have been able to get completely off thyroid once you're on that support, which which is okay because it doesn't it's not
the end of the world. You need your thyroid. Your thyroid is your largest undercren organ It affects every tissue in your body, and you can't allow it to crash by simply saying, well, I don't like it anymore because of this what you just stated with mRNA going into the livestock, and that's of course where the desiccate forms of thyroid armor come from. What you have to do is find the dose that is the least amount that you need to
take. Do you let me ask you a question, and do you perform mr tests at home where you measure your own body metabolic rate temperature with a thermometer under your arm to see how your thyroid is actually working. That in combination with blood tests I've had I have in the past, and I'm very low, like I'm a degree below normal, will say, in the ninety eight points or whatever the temperature risk. Because I haven't done it for a long time, I could, but on the whole I can. I find
that when I'm tested for us things, my temperature is lower. Okay, Well, the temperature that you're looking for, just to kind of circle back to that is ninety seven point six. That's the minimum basal metabolic great temperature with a thermometer under your arm, first thing in the morning, before you get out of bed, before you stir. You leave it under there, and you measure it seven days in a row, and you should be somewhere
between ninety seven point six and ninety eight point two. That's the sweet spot. That's the area using a not a digital thermometer. Do not use a digital thermometer. Use an all fashion find one. They have them out there, not the mercury thermometers, but just the oral thermometers, non digital,
and take those readings. And if you're below that far below the minimum allowable temperature basiment about a great temperature of ninety seven point six, you are under supplying your thyroid with what it needs and you need to goost that up. Boost that up. Go to your doctor whoever's prescribing the armor. They need to work with you, and then they can also talk to you about certain nutrients may need to be on, like iodine and tyrazine and zinc, selenium,
other nutrients that support thyroid function. And just a lifestyle. You know what does exercise have to do with thyroid a lot? How about eating sugar? Does that suppress thyroid? Yes? How about caffeine? That message your thyroid up. You can't convert thyroid hormone on caffeine. Hope this helps out
an thank you for your phone call. We'll be right back.

Now, at the bottom of the hour, I was talking about how important it is to use toothpaste and mouthwash that's rich in zyol at all. It's really a health a simple way to extend your life
and your health span. But we can take it a step further. Did you know that the simple act of flossing your teeth can also extend your life? And health span. It's true, you only get one set of adult teeth, and flossing your pearly whites could end up making a huge difference in your life span. Flossing removes plaque from your teeth, a key contributor to gum disease, but according to researchers at Harvard Medical School, preventing gum disease
might also help protect against heart disease. They found that gum disease could contribute to chronic inflammation as the body reacts to continuing presence of plaque in your teeth and ends up negatively impacting your cardiovascular system your heart. A study in the Journal of Aging among people over the age of let's see sixty found that those who didn't floss had a thirty percent higher risk of dying over your an average of nine years. So flosh your teeth every day and use the Spride dental
defense system tooth based mouth rense gumments all rich in xyle. It's all that's a great health hack. And I know that sometimes we need to be reminded, yes, brush, yes, flossy, flush out see your dental hygienis or Dennis. But flossing is so important. It's a part of my daily routine. I hope it is yours. All. Right, back to your telephone calls and questions at eight eight eight five five three seven two six two.
Won't you join us with a question about your own health or a health related comment eight eight eight five five three seven two six two or one triple eight fifty five Doctor Bob. Next up is Share. She's going from the state of Kansas. Welcome to the program, Sherry, Hello, hello doctor. When you were talking about birth control, Now, I'm a boomer and I never used birth control pills, but I've read this book in the last year or two about it's by Sarah. I think her mental initial is T,
but I'm not sure about Sarah Hill. At the time she wrote the book in twenty nineteen, she's a professor at TCU. She does have PhD. And it was this is your Brain on birth Control, and then the other the subtitle was something about Unintended consequences. And I tell you what, she would make a good guess because she really did a lot of went through a lot of research, other people's research, and it was I really learned
a lot and I read for my granddaughter. That's good to her. That's good, But you know how to use UM drugs for off label uses and on birth control pills. They're giving these the young ladies um you know, for acne stabilize their periods. And according to this lady, girls should not go on birth control pills till they're real close to twenty because their brains are
changing so much and this messes with your brain so much. How about how about women girls should never go on birth control pills period if it increases their risk of depression by seventy three percent or in younger teenagers by ninety some percent, and not only that. And it sounds like the book that you're mentioning sounds very interesting. I'm unaware of it. I'll look into it. But
the other part of this is that it just desmodulates your entire system. What most people don't know is that when you take birth control pills, you deplete your body of very important nutrients. Folic acid, vitamin B two, vitamin B six B twelve, vitamin C, vitamin E, minerals, magnesium and zinc and selenium. These are all things that leave the body as a result
of taking birth control pills. When you try to full mother nature. To the extent that you're stopping a normal natural process, you're going to pay for it in some manner, and most women are not told. Look, while you're on these birth control pills, you need to supplement with additional B complex, vitamin C, vitamin E, and minerals because they're going to be pillaged out of your body when you have that kind of deficiency of those vitamins.
B vitamins are important to manage stress, they're important for energy, and people with B vitamin deficiency, yes, can become depressed. And I have all kinds of other mental illnesses. It's been proven. So I hear what you're saying. I totally agree with you, Sherry, and you picked up on it with that segment that I did on birth control pills and how they can increase depression.

Stick around, because next hour I'm gonna be launch into a problem that is ready to happen may already have happened in the food chain, where a large food manufacture distributor, Tyson Foods is saying they're going to add back because they committed years ago to removing antibiotics from all of their products. Now they've said, well, we're gonna add them back. We're gonna put antibiotics back in the chicken at no extra arch. Well, we'll see about that when
I comment on that next hour. You won't want to miss that segment of the program if you eat any chicken whatsoever. All right, let's finish off with Dan, who's in Tennessee calling into the program. Dan, we have about a minute or so left in the program, and if you can tell me what's going on, I'll try to help you out. Sir. Yes, there, I'm seventy six and I just started having ringing in my ears. Okay, one thing you'll want to do is stop using caffeine. Caffeine
makes ringing in the ears worse. Next, if you're taking aspirin or ibuprofen, and there's about two hundred and forty eight other drugs, you might want to review that with your pharmacist or you're prescribing doctor. All two hundred and fifty drugs can cause ringing in the ears or can exacerbate ringing in the ears. There is a formula, a homeopathic formula that you can find in health food stores called ring Stop. You might want to write that down ring Stop
by Natural Care Products. I would give that ninety days of help or try. And ringing in the ear is tough. It's sort of like neuropathy within your ears. It's the cochlear hairs within the cochlea that are malfunctioning, misfiring, or have been mowed down due to something. There may be a medication that you're taking that's making it worse. I don't know, but try these simple things. And also acupuncture has been very successful at helping reduce ringing in
the ears or stop it. So if you can find an acupuncturist in your area to get some treatments on the right points in and around the ear that might help. There's also a technique where you can stretch your ear. Stretch it out, hold it to thirty seconds, then pull it down, hold it for thirty seconds and do maybe a few sets of that, not to
the point where there's pain, but just stretching your ear lobes. Just take the whole ear with your hands in your palm, stretch it forward out and then down thirty seconds, holding on each improving the circulation to that area. That can even help it. Sometimes stay away from loud noises. That's a big cause of ringing in the ears, being around law, big noise with high decibels. And hopefully these things will help you out. Dan appreciate your
phone call. Stick around. We're coming right back. Talking about Tyson Foods adding antibiotics back into the chicken. Not good. I'm doctor Bob Martin.
