The number into the program eight eight eight five five three seven two six two one triple eight fifty five, Doctor Bob. That's eight eight eight five five three seven two six two is the phone number to call. This is your chance to resurrect your good health safely and naturally. Let's get started. Eight eight eight, five, five, three seven two six two. Let's get right
promptly to the phones. They're people waiting to get into the show. First up this hour is Bill. Bill's calling in from the state of New Jersey. Welcome to the program. Bill. Hello, thank you doctor Bob, and thank you for your wonderful show. We got through the entire We got through the entire COVID pandemic, wondering should we vacs, shouldn't we vacs?
And we got through the whole thing with your natural suggestions, and my family's healthy because of it, and we don't have any of these vaccine nightmares. But my question today for you, sir, is I am sixty three. At around age fifty, I was getting a regular every three months a urinary
tract infections followed by a PSA test that showed four point six. It wasn't for till seven years later, and taking Flowmax and other medications that I read something about deep urinary tract infections burrowing themselves deep in your digestive track, hiding from antibiotics that usually give you a temporary relief. So I started taking apple cider vinegar with the mother because I understood it would kill bacteria hard to reach
for the antibiotics. And seven years later I started that routine and I think it was six months after that my PSA went down to two point five. And my question is urinary track infections that are persistent and lingering give a bad PSA reading. Yes, they do because your body naturally creates an inflammatory process when you have a urinary track infection when there's a bacteria that's attacking the bladder wall, and usually it's seventy percent of the time eighty percent maybe E.
Coli. So you have to real and you can have a PSA. However, go up if you exercise within twenty four hours or you have sex within twenty four hours of having a PSA tested. So any kind of activity that stresses or strains the region that the prostate is in the lower of Donald hillaria can cause the PSA to a test at a higher level. And some people even question the validity of PSAs, by the way, just so you know, and I also question it, but there is a more accurate way to
measure prostate health. In my opinion. That's through snography an ultrasound of the prostate to get a baseline that shows you the size of the prostate, the shape of the prostate. And if then you get a baseline, you know where it's at. One it's healthy. When there's trouble or you decide okay, well I'm gonna have another one, you go in and have another one,
you compare it. I have done this over the years with men who have had PSA readings all over the board and they couldn't decide what it was and they didn't want to go in for other invasive tests, so they had ultrasounds instead and that works. So the answer is yes, having urinary track infection could absolutely raise because it's inflammatory. Every body moves into an inflammatory or stage to try to attack the invading tissue, but it also impacts the prostate
tissue itself. So the answer is yes, having a urinary trac infection will do it. Now. Apple cide of vinegar is great for a lot of things. We often use. Also, something called demano demanos is the element that you've heard about in for years. It's been old treatment for urinary tract infections in general. Through cranberry. That's the actual ingredient in cranberry that works.
It's just that when you're trying to drink cranberry juice, usually people won't drink it if it's tart, because that's the way you should take it. They usually are drinking ocean spray, which is nothing but just sugar water. And so it's best if you have a urinary track infection to increase water, decreased dairy, decreased red meat, get off the sugar, the alcohol,
and this too shall pass. If you go to the health food store and pick up some powdered demanos and you just stir that into water and drink it. It creates what is called an anti adherence factor, which means that as the E. Coli, which is usually the invading infection organism, doesn't have a chance to cling onto and stay in the urinary track long enough to breed its little family and expand, and it washes it out because it looks at it and it takes it out. So demanos works very well for that.
There are other things that can be found in health food stores and sometimes, unfortunately, depending on the health of the person, they may have to take an antibiotic if they're so bad off. But I've had great results of demanos I've had great results with using large amounts of garlic which has sulfur in it, which works really well. Nanosilver works well for these urinary track infections.
Hot baz work, sits baths work very well. So there's a lot of ways to manage urinary track infections to clear them up and therefore allow PSA testing if that's what you want to do to be more accurate. But realize there are other things besides urinary track infections that can affect PSA tests. All right, Bill, thank you for your phone call. Next we say hello to Rebecca. She's calling in from the state of Utah. Welcome to the Doctor Bob Martin Show. Rebecca. Hello, Hey, hello, Doctor Bob.
I have a family member that had her gallbladder taken out, and when anytimes she eats anything, she's got a lot of cain in her stomach. And I do need us that she eats a lot of salt. But I remember hearing you talk about that a few months back. Some kind of salt substitute you can take for that. Could you please give me to nak up? Yeah, it's not actually the same salt. These are tissue salts called plasma
tissue salts. They're homeopathic tissue salts. When somebody loses their gallbladder, they lose the ability to concentrate bile in the gallbladder to be squirted into the small intestine to start breaking down fats. So when you lose your gallbladder, you're losing an important organ. It also increases your risk of cancer to lose your gallbladder, so you need to compensate by making sure there's plenty of fiber in the diet. You stay away from the sugar and the high saturated fats which
got you into developing gallbladder problems in the first place. Obesity is a factor. Also, birth control pills can be an issue, and a sedentary lifestyle. So yeah, in the hell food store you'll find these tiny homeopathic plasma tissue salt supplements that people who lose are gallbladders must be on these. They have to be on this, and some of them also do well on fat digesting enzymes, because you know, to compensate beyond the fact that they don't
have their gallbladder any further, So, a tissue tissue salts. They're not the same as sodium chloride or you know, using himalayas salt or celtic salt, nothing like that. It's a different kind of tissue salt that you're looking for. But that people in the health food store will know what this is and taking it has no side effects, and the upside is she'll probably feel better. But I'm concerned that she's still having stomach aches in the absence of
her gallbladder. This may be a whole other problem that she doesn't realize. It may have nothing to do with a gallbladder and more to do with her stomach itself or maybe even her pancreas. Rebecca, thank you for your phone call. We'll be right back. I'm doctor Bob Martin. The number one health concern is we move to warden 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 light from entering,
which interferes with sharp, clear vision. A science based cataract reversal eye drop called CANC is changing lives of people with poor vision caused by cataract.

not quantity.

five three seven two six two is the phone number into the show. Eight eight eight five five three seven two six two. Here comes Sharon in the state of Washington. Welcome to the program. Sharon, Hello, Hello, Yes, go ahead, you're on the air. You're on the air. YEA. I have particles, little tiny particles in my saliva. I thought at first it was something I was eating, my teeth were clean or not clean, But actually they're just tiny, tiny particles that I can see in
the saliva when I'm brushing my teeth, and what color are they? Sharon? They were transparent? Transparent? How can you see transparent particles that because they're little lump Well, I've been in the sink. The saliva has a little, teeny tiny particle. I see. Have you ever explained that to your primary care provider so that they can take a sample of that and try to do an analysis if that's a concern to you. It's rather new. I haven't been to my provider in a while. Okay, I'm not sick.
I feel fine. Okay, Well that you don't want to wait till you get sick, because that's by that time, By that time, you know you're already. I thought that my provider wouldn't understand it, well, maybe because maybe so unusual. I knew that you would. Well, I appreciate the confidence, but you know, the best provider for this would be
the provider of your dental care. Your your dentist would be the best place to go because they're the king, they're the kings and queens of the oral cavity, and so since it's related to saliva and it's in the oral cavity, that would be the place to be. In, in my opinion, and they can easily do a sample, send it to a lab to see if there's any concerns for it, or see if there's some type of aberancy and talk about where, where and what to do and if that's a concern,
Sharon. So that's what I would do. I just call your dental your dentists and let them know that you're coming in you've got a concern, and they'll take a look at it and either verify that that's a concern and or not. All right, appreciate your phone call, sharing good health to you. Next up, we say hello to Irene. Irene's calling in from the state of Colorado. Welcome to the doctor Bob Martin show. Irene. Hello, good Hello doctor Bob. I have what they call barretts. Yes,
something to be a r etts. I believe it's health is built yeah, Barret's esophagus. Yes, yes, And I take P A N T O P R A C O L one a day and I just hate taken tills. But they said I should take it to prevent cancer. So what can you tell me about that? Okay? I understand the rationale because if there's excessive acid, that's refluxing up into your esophagus, which is what Barrett's esophagitis is about. It can erode and create a chronic inflammatory response and change
the cells of the esophagus. The esophagus should not experience acid of the stomach up there. It's moving into an area it shouldn't be. But most of these barrets US problems are caused by what are referred to as diaformatic or heidal hernias, which are not treated well in a conventional medical setting, even though they can be completely cured now they have you taking a acid blocking drug. That's the goal. Unfortunately, as we age over the age of forty,
we make less acid, not more acid and less. There's a reason why the body makes more acid. For example, if you have an infection called hpylori, your body will ramp up your acid production. If you have your stomach being outstretched up into your ascending up into your esophagus, it will make more acid because it feels like you have a big t bone steak in your stomach twenty four to seven because it's being stretched. So what how you got
yourself into this problem, Irene? Is you ate and you went ahead and you lay down on a full stomach. This is how they happen. People eat and then they lay on the couch or they go to bed. They eat late at night and they sleep and the stomach stretches up into the esophagus and then it spills the acid up there, and overtime it erodes that lining. And that's what they're treating you for. Now, finish this up when we come back. Stand by. I'm doctor Bob Martin, doctor Hiros Probiotics.
We put the power in probiotics. We were the first to emphasize the importance of postbiotic metabolites in creating and maintaining the biodiversity of flora in the gut microbiome for optimal digestion, gut, brain, immune and hormonal health. Multi year fermentation is key in producing the postbiotic metabolites that are found in exceptional probiotics like doctor Oheres probiotics. Healthy fruits and vegetables are fermented, resulting in over
five hundred postbiotic metabolites for optimum digestive and immune support. So don't rely on a simple claim that the product has fifty billion or more CFUs. That is not the hallmark of how to gauge a powerful probiotic instead, look for diversity, look for fermentation, look for postbiotics. Look for doctor Oheres Probiotics.

What are you welcome or welcome back to this hour of the Doctor Bob Martin Show. We'll get back to UH and finish up with Irene, who's calling in, who has a condition called
Barrett's esophagitis. It's a very commonly diagnosed condition that people have often it is, in my opinion, mistreated, even though it's they're doing what they can to shut the symptoms down of the problem, but they're now really not getting to the reason why she has this inflammatory esophagus, which I would want to know more about. So we'll get back to that in a moment. But first, this got joint discomfort, stiffness, and pain. Does that sound
familiar to you? Joint stiffness, joint discomfort, or joint pain, any joint in your body, It doesn't matter. Talk about a widespread health problem that has very few conventional medical answers beyond swallowing risky pharmaceuticals. Risky drugs that simply numb the problem temporarily and then as soon as they wear off, you're back to soreness, stiffness, and joint discomfort again. You may recognize it
as arthritis or inflammation of the joints. Did you know that twenty four percent of adults, that's about almost fifty nine million people suffer with joint discomfort every single day wearing on him and that's why a lot of people will cave to taking swallowing over the counter prescription drugs four joint stiffness, joint pain, and discomfort. If you think you've tried everything to unwind joint discomfort, stiffness and pain to no avail, think again. Rose Hip Joint Comfort by Terry Naturally

Now let me finish up with Irene, who's calling in from the state of Colorado
with her esophagus problem. Now, appropriately, she's being treated symptomatically with an acid blocking drug, and that's fine, But that's frosting on burnt cake. It is painting over termites. It's not really getting to the reason why she has her problem. It's not a deficiency of anti of drugs that block the stomach from producing acid, which it's supposed to do. Our stomach is supposed
to produce acid. It's how we protect ourselves from bugs, germs that we come in contact with every single day in our food, water, air, and that's how we are sterilizing everything. It's with stomach acid. It's how we take a steak. If you eat a steak, whether it's a t bone steak or a salmon stake, and turn it into soup, that acid breaks it all down. So blocking acid is not a good idea, it's unnatural, but it's a temporary effect that Irene, you're getting. Your doctor's
doing exactly what your doctor was trained to do. Stop the acid from going into you uesophagus. Because I can create problems, but I would want to get to the reason why you have the problem in the first place. Ie, you probably have a heidel hernia or a diarephmatic hernia that needs to be corrected. It can be corrected with a stretching technique, and there's actually instruction on my website how to do that, Irene. So if you've got a
computer, go over to doctor bob dot com. Spell out the word doctor doctor Bob dot com, and then up at the top you'll see some buttons. Go to the button that I'm not on the site right now, but I think it's either self care or self help. Click on that and then you'll see heidel Hernia drop down and then just print it out. I have somebody print out for you, and it very easily shows you and walks you
through how to do this subdomal stretch. And if you're not comfortable, Irene, doing it, take that sheet over to your chiropractor or your massage therapist, or your nature path or your homy bath or anybody that you know and trust that you feel could help you. Stretch that stomach down out of the esophagus so it's repositioned so you don't regurgitate and reflects that acid. And then don't eat on a full stomach, or don't lie down on a full stomach.
Wait at least three hours after eating before you lie down. That's how this happened, it's how it probably occurred. Very good information. Thank you so much. You're very welcome. Thank you for your call, because so many people, Irene have this very problem and they go Okay, so I got Barret's esophagitis. Oh yeah, and then they carry that around almost like a badge of honor. Oh finally I've got some explanation as to why I
developed an anti acid deficiency. Why I need that prevace said or that nexium or whatever does your drug is on the market, Why I need it? I have such a deficiency in this drug. No, you don't have a drug deficiency. You have a functional problem. And until the functional problem is removed and corrected, yes, your body's going to punish you with excessive acid
in yoursophagus or some other symptom. That's what symptoms are for. To warn you and to take an anti acid drug without getting into or exploring and investigating why the acid is there is the equivalent of taking a hammer out of your glove box in your car or out of the console and smashing the lights that are telling you you need oil and water. You're just ignoring them, and you're just shutting down the light because you don't like it. That's a disaster
waiting to happen. And so is a person in her age bracket taking an anti acid drug which interferes with her assimilation of minerals and protein and foods she
needs because acid, ladies and gentlemen in the stomach is important. It's not important as it relates to regigitating it into the esophagus, but it's a temporary fix of what is going on and what her doctor really should have done, in my opinions, referred her to a chiropractor who's trained and applied kinesiology, or anybody who knows how to stretch the stomach down out of the lower esophageal sphincter which it's caught up through and stuck can't get down on its own.
That's what should have happened, if that is what she actually has, or if it's hpylori, you deal with the hpylori. All right, We'll be right back. I'm doctor Bob Martin. Are you tired of crazy blood sugar and blood pressure numbers? Doctor Bob Martin here, listen to this true story. I was diagnosed with type one juvenile diabetes when I was seven years old.

The website, however, is spelled out. You got to spell out the word doctor d octoarbob dot com. One common mistake that may disrupt your sleep for hours many people don't consider or think about. One of them, of course, is late night caffeine or even midnight feasts. They can also
disrupt your sleep. I think caffeine can disrupt people. And as you get older, because our livers get tired and they just quit breaking down drugs like caffeine as well and as efficiently as they did when we were in our twenties, thirties and forties or younger, so they longer you use caffeine. As you get older, sometimes that starts to disrupt your sleep and you don't even realize it. You go, well, I only have a cup of day. How could I've been doing it for forty years? How is that now
affecting me? Well, it affects you because you don't break the caffeine down and metabolize it. Therefore, your nervous system is stimulated all the way eighteen hours later. Also, here's another thing that can disrupt your sleep, and most young people don't realize this. Posting on social media shortly before you go to bed can delay the time it takes for people to fall asleep buy up
to three hours. That according to a study by Duke University, the researchers on fifty one thousand people found that those who posted on social media within an hour of their bedtime, let's say your bedtime. You're always trying to get to bed by ten o'clock. If you're posting at nine or leading up to that bedtime, you were twice as likely to stay up late because of the
fact that you're looking right into a device that is waking you up. As your melatonin is trying to kick in and bring you down into a sleep pattern, you are waking it up. Like bright sunlight getting into your eye with the blue colors and all the colors that are coming off of your cell phone or your laptop or your tablet or whatever. Electronic devices that shine light wake
you up, and some people more sensitive to that than others. Those who posted several times shortly before bed were also more likely to still be awake late into the night than those who posted just once. It is thought that getting likes and comments causes an adrenaline rush that blocks normal sleep hormone activity. Blue
light exposure from our phones is also known to disrupt sleep cycles. So if you have young children who are having a hard time getting up in the morning, shut down their activity with their cell phones at night, won't you please? Otherwise they're going to be wanting caffeine just like you wanted first thing in the morning. Doctor William Myerson, a data scientist, who led the research, commented saying and I quote this could be a result of several factors.
The screen lights are disrupting the circadian rhythm to the anticipation of a response. So here we have a way to better understand why some people are sleeping. It's not maybe a sleeping pill you need, or some drug you need tile at all PM, or whatever you're going to do to zap your body, but rather your behavior. We'll finish up after this. I'm doctor Bob Martin.

Now, the last segment, I was talking about how there's a lot of common mistakes that people make that disrupt their sleep, and some of that has to do with posting on the internet, having the blue light exposure off your phone late at night, eating late at night, using caffeine anytime during the day. And part of this study that I referred to is out
of Reddit, which is a social news website. Forum users are more likely to stay up past their bedtime and post on nights when they posted an hour
before bedtime, especially if they were active on high engagement forums. The study that they looked at, which was published by the Way in the journals Sleep Medicine, researchers looked at over fifty one thousand people who used Reddit the website and they looked at two hundred and thirty six million posts put up there by users between the year two thousand and five and two twenty one, and the scientists used a model to estimate the users bedtime based on one time stamps that
of their Reddit posts, and they then analyze the data from when the users posted within an hour of their average bedtime compared to the nights when their post was much earlier to find out whether their bedtime was delayed. And sure enough, the results showed that on the nights when the users first posted early in the evening, only about six percent we're still posting after their estimated bedtime. The data also showed that when users put up one post late in the evening
ten percent we're still posting after their bedtime. But when they put up four or more posts to their Reddit thing and this could be any way that you text or post on the internet on yourself phone or your tablet or whatever. Those late posters. The more you post up and the more of that blue light shines into your eyes twenty three percent we're still posting after they normally would have a fallen asleep at a normal decent time. Just by blue light hitting
your brain via your retina's, the more sleep disordered you are. So if you're wondering why you're not sleeping well lately, you might want to put that cell phone down hours before you go to bed and not right up until you go to bed, because it'll interfewer you're asleep. That's one big issue that we're missing out on. All right, stay with us. We are coming right back, and Billy from California, you'll be up first next hour. I'm doctor Bob Martin.
