All right, coming up with the program today, We've got a lot of interesting health news information to share with you. Big bombshell
out this week. You may have looked at this article already. I'm gonna get into the heart of it. Medical errors in the news again now linked to get this you're sitting down linked to medical errors in the US linked to eight hundred thousand deaths or permanent disabilities, over three quarters of a million people dying every year or getting permanently disabled every single year as a result of medical errors. I mean, how many how often have you heard that the US
has the best, the very best healthcare system in the world. Every time I hear that, I just want to gag because it's not true. How often have you heard that conventional medicine is both safe and effective in the United States? A lot, I'm sure. And what about the lie that most other competing forms of healthcare are completely unscientific, they're unproven, they're dangerous, avoidom Go with conventional medical care in the US. You'll be safe and you
get well well. Johns Hopkins University confirms once again that conventional medical errors, omissions, and miscare leads to hundreds and hun undreds of thousands of death every
single year. And we're gonna be talking about that on the show today and maybe what you need to be thinking about in order to change that trajectory in your own life in order to help dodge that type of a bullet, because it is possible most of the time now obviously, when there's an emergency situation needed, nine to one one ambulances and an emergency care, right, you get to the emergency room, get to the hospital, get you to have
your life saved. Yes, there are those opportunities too, and lots of them. But wow, that number is so massive and it's probably underreported. On top of that, eight hundred thousand people dying in America as a result of medical errors or getting permanently disabled. We'll get into that later on, So don't go anywhere. Also today on the show, Unexpected Food Favorites added to this year's Dirty Dozen list. Now, each year a Dirty Dozen list
is presented by the USDA, the United States Department of Agriculture. They are trying to alert Americans to the fact that there are numbers of foods in the marketplace that you can go in and purchase in any conventional grocery store that are inundated with, that are saturated with, that are just full of toxic poisons that you ought not ingest because it can have a negative impact on your health
and your family's health. And so each year the US Department of Agriculture USDA, they develop a Shoppers Guide list to alert you to foods that are high in pesticides. We're talking about your produce aisle, folks. When you're in that produce aisle and you look everywhere and yells green and orange and red and yellow fruits and veggies, man, oh man, it will give me a
different perspective. When we get into the twenty twenty three Shoppers Guide to Pesticides in produce researchers analyzing and testing the data on almost fifty thousand samples of forty six fruits and vegetables, different vegetables and fruits conducted by the us DA, And this year it is they've added something to a couple of things to the list this year that I haven't seen in the past, and I was kind
of surprised about that. And we are talking about not a few types of pesticides found in the fruits and vegetables in the prototypical conventional grocery store protocile. We're talking about two hundred and fifty one different pesticides that they were able to discover by testing fruits and vegetables in grocery stores, Ones that may end up in your grocery cart and in your stomach and in the stomach some of your
loved ones. And these pesticides are not good. I mean, if they can dismantle and destroy the health and the nervous system of a pest an insect, they might be they might have some impact on you too, even though you're a larger creature perhaps than an insect crawling on a stock of corn or a strawberry or some other fruit or vegetable that is filled up with pesticides. You should know which ones to look out for, and you should also know
there are options. That doesn't mean you should stop eating fruits and vegetables simply out of the fear that they are full of pesticides, cancer causing agents, and causing a lot of other health problems along the way. But you do have options, and we like to talk about those options, and we will
today on the show, So don't go anywhere. We'll get to the twenty twenty three Shoppers Guide of the Dirty Dozen list, and you should have something to write with and write on when we get to that list a little bit later in the program. Now, it's been said that it's worthless if you're not exercising on a daily basis, or at least maybe three times or four times a week. Don't even bother if you're going to just go out there in the weekend and be a weekend warrior and try to get it all in
in a day or two in the weekend, get about it. No, no, no, we're going to change that concept because regular exercise, regular physical activity is one of the most important things you can do for your health.
Being physically active can, of course improve your brain health, your weight management, reduce your risk of all kinds of diseases, not only that, strengthen your bones and your muscles, and improve the ability for you to do everyday activity that you want to do for as long as you want to do it. Researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital tackled the age old debate regarding if there are any value, if there's any value whatsoever in exercising if you only participate
in it on weekends. And I think you're going to be very surprised to learn what the experts over at Massachusetts General Hospital A scientists came up with. We've got that on the show today, So anywhere when we come back from this short break, we're going to give to you last week's health poll results. You're tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin Show.

at doctor bob dot com spelling out the word doctor all right. Last week, we had a health poll question we spoke about here on the show, asked you to go to my site and vote on it because we believe your opinion matters greatly, and you did, and we got a tremendous amount of votes on last week's health poll question. I'm going to share with you. It has to do with the first ever approved over the counter OTC birth control
pill and whether or not you are in favor of it. That was the question we had on the site, and so many of you went to doctor Bob dot com and voted on that. But let me just go before i'd sell the results of last week's poll, which was pretty amazing, let me just go through some information about the Food and Drug Administration approving the first ever over the counter birth control pill, and it will be rolling out within well,
probably less than a year, in twenty twenty four. Dummid fierce divisions over. Of course, a lot of issues are related to that the Food and Documentistration has approved the first over the counter birth control pill. The approval applies to the pill, and this is the name of the new birth control pill over the counter. Now anybody can walk into any store that sells over the counter drugs and just pull it down off the shelf and just take it
out of there. Miners and everybody. The pill is called O pill O p I L l oh. They're so creative in those drug company pits. O pill otherwise known as the mini pill because it only contains one hormone one synthetic, not of nature, not of man pill ingredient called prig jestin, whereas other combinations of birth control pills that are prescribed by doctors contain both progestin
and estrogen. Medical experts and activists who have been pushing for the approval of this over the counter birth control pill argued that its availability over the counter opens the door for young women, as well as poor women, who may not have the necessary time or resources to see a doctor for a prescription. Doctor Patricia Cavazzoni, director of the Food and Or Administration's Center for Drug Evaluation and
Research, set an I quote today's approval that was the last week. Today's approval marks the first time a non prescription daily oral contraceptive will be available as an option for millions and millions of people in the United States. She goes on to say, when used as directed, daily oral contraception is safe. Keep that in mind, folks, safe compared to I say, compared to
what what is it compared to? And he is expected to be more effective than the current one available non prescription contraceptive methods in preventing unattended, unintended pregnancy. The drug, the over the counter drug we're talking about, oh pill, The new OTC birth control pill, made up of progestin, is a synthetic chemical that mimics the effects of progesterone in the body of those who take
it. Progestins prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation and reducing the amount of stretchiness of the cervical mucosa, making it unfriendly to sperm that are trying to enter the
uterus. Now let me just give you, if we will, here bear with me some of the potential adverse side effects of this new just okayed by the FDA over the counter birth control pill, than any body, anybody young, old, or otherwise can go into any store that sells drugs and just purchase it, no problem, and purchase as much of it as they want, as far as I know. Here is some of the potential side effects of the new over the counter O pill O pill over the counter birth control
pill. Irregular bleeding, headaches, dizziness, nausea, increased appetite, abdominal pain, cramps or bloating, and the list goes on that according to the FDA, are those are some of the side effects. Now, those are some of the more common side effects that someone may experience when they take this new OTC over the counter birth DROLL pill that anybody and their brother can go and sister can go in and get purchase as much of it as they want
and swallow as much of it as they want. Now here's some of the more serious potential adverse side effects of taking these synthetic progestins in excess. And you've got to figure that young impressionable people, let's say teenagers that are exploring their sexuality and they are entangled and or involved with a mail and suddenly they have unprotected sex and they figure out because the light goes on afterwards, that
they may get pregnant. So they run to the store knowing that there's one over the counter pill called OH Pill available over the counter, and they're saying, well, you know, I waited too long. I'd better take more than just what it's saying. I better you know, if they're saying one, maybe I need to take one, two or three. Well, the side effects related to taking excess progestin which are in these which is the main
ingredient in the O pill over the counter birth control pill. The potential side effects include elevated blood pressure, which can cause a stroke and heart attack, feeling tired and sleepy, hypoglycemia, low blood sugar, decrease in period length. In other words, that can derail the period as its normal cycle. Just I mean incredible. So there you haven't. So we asked that question last week. Are you in agreement? Are you in favor of an OTC
birth control pill? Yes or no? You voted, And here are the results of those people who went to doctor Bob dot com and voted on the question, are you in favor of an over the counter birth control pill? Seventy seven percent of you said no, cancel, denied, you're not on board with it, you're not down for it, seventy seven percent, more than three quarters of the people not for it. But yet it was it was okayed by good old Food and Drug administration. Never saw a drug or
a vaccine they didn't like or try to approve. Whereas twenty three percent of you who went to my site said yes, you're on board with it, You're okay with it, bring it, good to go, twenty three percent yes, seventy seven percent no, the nays have it. And there are the results of last week's healthful question. And again, I want to thank you so very much for voting and going to my website at doctor Bob dot
com and voting on that. All Right, when we come back from this break, I'm gonna get into this situation where it's an article common medical drug taken by millions of people increase the risk of deadly heat stroke, which could

Right now, we have record highs going on in the United States, record heat waves all over the place, and people are getting sick and some are
dying as a result of developing heat stroke from getting overheated. I'm going to talk about that because many people are at risk right now because they're millions are taking a specific pharmaceutical drug which Jack's up, increases greatly their risk of heat stroking. And I'll tell you what heat stroke comes on really really fast. I'll tell you the story about what happened to me years ago and just a little bit, so stand by for that related to heat stroke potential heat stroke.
Before we get to that information, however, this is a call out to people who are suffering with joint pain or joint stiffness or joint discomfort. Some people call it arthritis. I'm talking about a widespread health problem that has very few conventional medical answers beyond the prototypical. Swallow this pharmaceutical and you'll be just fine. Well, it might. These pharmaceuticals can certainly block the pain or numb the pain temporarily if you have joint discovered, but the price you
pay for it is another story altogether. You may recognize the course as arthritis inflammation of joints, and it could be in your knees, your shoulders, your ankles, your fingers, or your hips, your back. Did you know that twenty four percent of adults, or around sixty million people suffer with joint discovered every single day. It's true.

We are really cooking in the United States right now, record temperatures everywhere. Common medical drug that some people are taking that puts them at a greater risk of deadly heat stroke. And you should know this because you may be taking one of these drugs. Somebody you care about, maybe taking one of the stroke, maybe
a loved one. As temperatures hit record highs across the United States, doctors worn millions of Americans on those Americans who are taking antidepressants. You know, anybody who has depression who's taking an antidepressant, well, they could be at
a higher bridge risk, much higher risk of developing deadly heat stroke. And this is because ladies and gentlemen, certain antidepressants affect the body's ability to regulate temperature, and then when you add the temperature onto their bodies ability to regulate temperature, it is a perfect storm for a total disaster, as in heat
stroke, which can be deadly. This class of antidepressants I'm talking about are called tricyclic antidepressants, and so there's some of the older class of the antidepressant drugs that are prescribed less often due to more intense side effects including insomnia, bedwetting, chronic pain conditions such as fiber miles or those are just the short
list of what these tricyclic antidepressant drugs could do. And then you add into this information we're talking about here the risk of ratcheting up your exposure to heat stroke. Now, these drugs, these antidepressant drugs, prevent your body from cooling down. Normally, they just come and deer the mechanism in your hypothalamus, which is your control center for heat and body, and of course your thyroid has to do with it too, a lot of chemistry going on there.
But when you prevent the body from cooling down, such as by sweating and making you drink more water to compensate, and this heat intolerance that is generated as a result of swallowing antidepressant drugs that doctors prescribed to millions of people
affects multiple classes of these particular drugs. However, the more common selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors ssryes can actually make you sweat more, and this leads to heat stroke because when you sweat more, of course, you need more fluid, dehydrated easier. We're gonna get into which ones, and we're gonna name names when we come back from this break. We don't want anybody in this audience who's taking an antipressant to get a heat stroke. Stay with us. It's
the Doctor Bob Martin show. The number one health concern, and as we move toward and beyond the age of retirement is fear of losing our vision and therefore the ability to remain independent.

Welcome or welcome back to this hour of The Doctor Bob Martin Show. We are on a topic that we're trying to get this information out
about heat stroke. Right now in the country, we have a lot of people who are facing a high degree of risk when being outdoors, maybe exerting themselves sweating or not sweating, and are taking pharmaceutical drugs that impede or interfere with their body's ability to keep it self cool. And in this case, we're talking about millions of people at an increase risk of deadly heat strokes as a result of taking a very common class of medical drug, an antidepressant drug.
There's different kinds, and this is by no means telling people to stop drugs. That's not what we do here on this show. But rather than that, alert you to the fact that if you are taking an antidepressant drug prescribed by your doctor, your doctor may have alerted you to the fact that you're at risk of having a heat stroke, but that likely did not happen.
It just doesn't happen. There's not enough time for doctors typically to go through all of the potential adverse side effects of the list, because if you did, you'd be there for a long time in that visit, and doctors have got to move from exam room to the exam and to another exam room to move through their six to ten to fifteen minute consultation with their patients.
And I mean, if you had to go through all the potential adverse side effects of the drug, it would pretty much chew up all their time. So they just simply say, okay, take this drug. Say ah,
okay, everything looks good. See the next time when you're sick and go to the pharmacy, etc. And they're obviously different mechanisms involved in it depending on the patient's scenario, but this is really a scenario touching millions potentially of people who are taking antidepressant drugs, whether it be the old version of the tricyclic antidepressants, which I'm going to name or the newer antidepressants, the SSRI forms of drugs, which are the more common ones today, the serotonin select
serotonin retape inhibitor drugs. But I wanted to give you, if you're just tuning into the program, just an overview of this, and then we'll get to the names of the drugs you need to be careful with if you are depressed, and if you are taking an anti depressant drug, or you know somebody who is taking an anti depressant drug, they are and you are subjected to a higher risk of developing a deadly heat stroke. And I gotta tell
you that's no fun. Years ago, I made a big mistake by hiking the Grand Canyon top to bottom with my daughter, who's a registered nurse, in the middle of the summer, when the temperature at the bottom of the Grand Canyon is one hundred and six degrees fahrenheit, and I started to go down the canyon. It's a round trip. It's eighteen miles eighteen miles long,
and I'm talking about a long trek. First time out, I was sort of naive to the fact that you can't carry tons of clean water with you or you won't have legs at the bottom of the canyon to get you
back out of there. And that's exactly what happened. So I carried the clean water down to a lot of heavy water, and legs were gone at about halfway through the eighteen mile trek, and then I got overheated and I had to go in and out of these streams, lay in these cold water streams too, and it took like almost twenty four hours to get out of there. You're supposed to stop at the bottom and rest or stay overnight and
then the next day come out. Well, I wanted to get back to civilization and do it in one fell swoop, A little bit of rest at the bottom and back out. Not a good idea. I don't recommend it, but it was. I mean, I was as close to heat stroke as you're going to get. I was really ill. Couldn't even stand up for a while. I had to rest. But I did the Grand Canyon a second and a third and a fourth time, and I did it differently and worked out really well. And I recommend it's fun if you're in pretty
decent shape. But I digress. You don't want a heat stroke and you don't want to be taking an antidepressant drugs and exert yourself in any manner and get dehydrate and get heat stroke. Some of the drugs I'm talking about here that put people at risk of heat stroke are laville am a, triptolin nor triptolin, pamelore, vivactyl, and noxapin and tophrinal. Those are some of the older tricyclic antidepressant drugs that millions of people were taking that they could be

cell very well. You can find Willard water that adds to the water you have it to concentrate in most health food stores and it's a good thing during the summer.
