Naturally Welcome, welcome everyone to this hour of the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm Doctor Bob and my encouragement
to you is to become for you to become your own best doctor. Most of the time, that's my goal because when you do, when you take more charge of your health and responsibility for it, you're going to be better off in general with your most precious possession, your health. All Right, we're going to begin this hour talking about belly buttons are navels. What your belly button reveals about your health A little bit different type of topic. Most
of us probably don't give our belly button a second thought. However, that little skinfold could be a host for infections, cysts, and even hernias that you are completely unaware of. That's what experts are suggesting. Doctor Dan Bombguart, a neuroscientist and physiologist at the University of Bristol, points out that the belly button, known medically as the navel, has more depth to it than
just a few millimeters. The belly button is a remnant of the umbilical cord, which connects of fetus to its mother during pregnancy, and there are many variations, but the two main groups of belly buttons, as many of you know, are either oudies a bulging belly button you've seen them, or innies where the belly buttons go way deep and some not so deep. Roughly ten percent of people around the world have audies outi belly buttons, meaning their belly
button is protruding well. The remainder about ninety percent of people have innies. What is yours? I'll tell you I have an inny. I have a slight innie. And the more it goes in usually the fatter your abdomen is, or the more adipacity you have. So you want to keep that abdomen nice and tight and firm. You want that six pack or twelve pack or whatever, and you'll you'll have less of an inny. While the belly button has no function after birth, subtle changes to the way it appears could be
an indicator that something is wrong with your health. One of these indications, according to doctor Bombguard Notes, is an umbilical hernia, which occurs when part of the intestines bulge through the belly button, literally through the abdominal wall because
there's a tear there. This cause is swelling or a bulge coming out of the navel and that's why we should constantly surveil our bodies, because when you don't, and let's say you have the beginnings of a umbilical hernia on the side of that belly button, and it just keeps tearing and tearing and tearing and gets bigger and bigger and bigger. By the time that abdominal wall gets so torn, it may be required to have some type of a surgical intervention.
You don't want that. And maybe it was the sit ups doing them incorrectly, or the abdominal crunches that you were doing down at the gym, or something else you were doing in your abdomen to try to reduce that sugar goiter that's hanging out there that's exacerbating or tearing at this abdominal wall that actually caused it, and you may have to modify your behavior. And that's why
it's important to constantly check yourself out. Now. These are usually harmless, these tiny little umbilical tears or hernias, mainly affecting infants, though they are also the second most common hernia in adults. Being overweight or having multiple pregnancies can also increase the risk of adult developing these umbilical hernias, primarily due to strain and just bulging, excess pressure in the area, and weakness within the
walls of the abdominal area. Most of the time, no treatment is necessary, though the hernia may need to be surgically removed if it causes pain or blocks the intestine, because it can squeeze the intestine and cause that intestine to die. That's a surgical emergency. You don't want that. You definitely don't want that. Most people are more worried about them from a cosmetic standpoint,
though. Doctor Baumgart also pointed out and pointed to a rare complication called Sister Mary Joseph's nodule, which is named after a nun who discovered that many patients with late stage cancer had swelling or a nodule near their belly button. This can be a sign that a patient's cancer has spread or become more advanced. Called Sister Mary Joseph's nodule, Wow named it after the nun. That's interesting. It's not seen as common these days since more cancers are now diagnosed earlier
before extensive spreading occurs. Another unusual condition to catapult this condition is called Medusa's head, also called a palm tree sign. This is a network of painless
swollen veins around the belly button. So look in the mirror if you can't see it from above, look in the mirror and see if you can see any kind of blood vessels or veins popping out or in and around that area that you didn't notice before, or have somebody look at it for you, and you're looking for like a sort of like a black or blue bruising effect in and around the belly button. This is caused by portal hypertension portal hypertension,
which is high blood pressure in the portal vein. The portal vein carried blood carries blood from the liver from the intestines, gall bladder, pancreas, and spleen. The liver then processes nutrients in the blood and sends it to
the heart and Medusa's head. That's what it's called the condition. Medusa's head on its own is not a disease, though it is thought that it's usually a sign of some type of liver scarring, also referred to as cirrhosis of the liver, so that can cause what is referred to as Medusa's head or also called a palm tree sign a network of painless, swollen veins around your belly button. You could see black and blue in that area, so check
it out. Now, the scarring makes it harder for the blood to flow through the veins through the livers veins, causing a build up in the portal vein and flow to nearby veins near the belly button. Now this enlarges the blood vessels into a Medusa like pattern. The belly button can also harbor infections, especially if you have in any type style of belly button. This fold
can trap moisture, can trap debris. Many of you are also constantly digging lint out of that area, and some people dig this gross looking cheese out of there. In warm environments, it's just prime area for bacteria to grow in and any type of a belly button, so it's a good, good
idea to keep an eye on that. Sometimes it's so bad, I'm not kidding you that some people will go into an emergency room and they go, yeah, I've got pain in my belly button, and the smell coming out of the belly button where that infection is just about knocks over the emergency people in the emergency room who we're trying to check it out. They get to get their mask on and hope for the best. Signs of an infection in the belly button include redness, pain, swelling, foul smell, and puss
and other fluids leaking out. You don't want any of that for sure, so pay attention to your belly button. Check it out as you would check out anything about your body, so that if there is a problem, you can report it to your health care provider and or take care of it yourself. All right, more news and interesting health related information. When we come back from this break. You are tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin Show.

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.

of the time. And hopefully you like what you're hearing, and you can have other people like what they could be hearing if you refer them to the program by simply jotting down the call letters of the radio station you're listening to, the frequency on the dial, whether it's an m R FM station, the time of the day, and pass it on to as many people as you can so they too can tune in and learn more about their most precious
possession, their health. All right, now, we're going to turn to another topic, and that is horrifying side effects of drug taken by forty five million Americans. We became asexual after taking antidepressant drugs for a few weeks. Now, our genitals have shrunk, and we're worried about we'll never have sex again. Patients left sexless, joyless, and infertile after taking antidepressants are speaking out, ladies and gentlemen about what they are calling a silent health crisis.
So many people are taking antidepressant drugs. I don't know if you've noticed this or not. These drugs have been around for a long long time. The first selects serotonin reuptake inhibitor drug SSRI drug for short, Prozac, was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration FDA in nineteen eighty seven and was introduced
into the United States in nineteen eighty eight. Well, investigative reporters heard from many people across the United States, Canada, and Europe about the devastating symptoms they claim have persisted years after they stopped taking common prescribed antidepressant drugs known as select serotonin reuptake inhibitor drugs or SSRI drugs. And we're talking about some of the most popular drugs that are used in the antidepressant category, drugs that include
Prozac, packsil, Louvax, Selexa, Lexapro, and Zoloff. Now, you may not be on one of these drugs maybe you are, but I'll bet somebody you know is on one of these drugs and they may be suffering in silence in terms of having these horrifying side effects. These drugs are taken by forty five million Americans on a regular basis. And here's another person weighing
in on it. Maxwell age twenty four, from Ohio, said he has been robbed of his vitality and confidence since he came off Prozac that his doctor prescribed as an antidepressant, one of the most popular of the SSRI family, two years ago he got off of it. He has struggled to get and maintain an erection and is completely indifferent towards sex now, which has made it hard to hold down a stable romantic relationship for him. Or here's another person
talking about it, reporting it to investigative reporters. Lexi Leos, twenty six, from the District of Columbia, claimed that taking Prozac for just a few days caused her genitals to shrink, and they've still not returned to normal for years years later. She fears she will never be able to share an intimate relationship with someone again as a result of taking this antidepressant, one of the
more popular ones called prozac. Now. Their shrinking accounts come on the heels of a lawsuit filed by doctors against the FDA, the Food and Drug Administration, accusing the FDA the agency of failing to adequately warn patients of sexual side effects that can last long after they stop taking the drugs. And that's part of the problem. I mean, when somebody goes to a doctor's, Oh, doctor, I'm just having so much trouble in my life. I'm sad, I'm blue, life's a beach, I can't get ahead. I've got
that. Oh I'm good up. I can fix you up. Sounds like you're depressed. You have all the classic signs of depression. I've got this wonderful drug that will solve it for you. You down for that, and the patient says, doc ya anything, and then they prescribe the drug. But the question becomes, they haven't solved their problem by taking the drug. How does that solve the problems that created the depression in the first place,
or the anxiety? How does that solve it? Because when that drug wears offer, when the day you decide to stop it, that problem is going to come back because you haven't solved it. And I'm not saying to stop your drugs here. Do not believe that I'm telling you to stop an antidepressant drug. If you happen to be on one, that is something you'll have
to take up with your doctor or your pharmacist. Now, the FDA has mandated for decades that SSRI makers include a label warning telling users they may cause the drugs that is, may cause erect out as function, low libido, vaginal dryness, and trouble orgasmin We're talking about the drugs SSRI drugs, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor drugs like Prozac and zoloft, Paxel, selects, lexapro, all of those drugs, and people don't even consider that that could be the
problem. If they say, well, shoot, if it takes scare of them, my depression, all everything gets better. No, it's it's a risk. The average drug, ladies and gentlemen, the average drug has seventy five or seventy or seventy five different potential adverse side effects. Now, doesn't affect everybody this way, No, but you never know who's going to be and you never think about that when you take the drug because you're trusting your
doctor. You're believing in the doctors doing the right thing on your behalf. And that could be true or not true. But thousands of former patients say the symptoms persist long after the use of these drugs, and according to a lawsuit, the FDA dragged its feet in addressing their petition to attach warnings to antidepressants about permanent zapped libido and fertility issues. One of the people said,
I've been chemically castrated, quoting them, I've been chemically castrated. Anxiety patient thirty three years of age warns men against ssripills that stripped his hyper sexual libido and made him suicidal. Post meaning after SSRI Sexual dysfunction or PSSD has been acknowledged by the Canadian government and the European Medical Agency since twenty eighteen. The impact of these drugs are profound. They can affect your physical health and your
mental health and your emotional well being. It is difficult to overstate how demoralizing it is for some of these patients to live with these conditions that they figure, well, okay, I've got you know, I've got the condition as a result of the drug. I'll just stop it and the problem will go away. No, many of them, it just persists because it's messed up their whole serotonin and their brain chemistry somehow. And so this is one of
those issues with buyer beware. Buyer beware. You've got to do that. You've got to be careful and understand this, and there are some options. There are options that you may want to consider when it comes to, you know, feeling blue, feeling down, feeling depressed, feeling like things just aren't going your way. Besides believing that there's a pharmaceutical answer. If you
want to take pharmaceuticals, that's your choice. You have that choice, but you also have the choice to reject it and look for other healthier, safer options long term, which I will talk about after this short break. So stay right where you are and we will finish up on this when we come back. You're tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin Show.

Now, I've been talking about this problem with these horrible side effects that the drugs in the class of ssr I drugs select serotonin reuptakeing hibitor drugs also referred to as ssr I drugs for short, talking about Prozac and Zoloff and lexapro and all of those rus how they are creating problems. The FDA is being sued now for not putting proper labeling on these drugs because so many of the users have
come back and had problems even after they stop taking the drugs. And again I want to point out. I'm not telling you to stop drugs. That's what I do. This is something you have to do with your doctor's guidance or with a pharmacist guidance. I'm just warning you about this. People get caught off guard because they get on these drugs and they trust their doctors, and they believe in their doctors, so they think, oh, you know, no problem, it must be safe. Gosh, my doctor's recommending it.
But these serotonin drugs can impact your hormone levels, including your estrogen, your testosterone, which are connected to all kinds of parts of your body, and estimated fifty eight to seventy percent of antidepressant users experience some form of sexual side effect, such as low libido. Here's another person, twenty six years of age, stopped taking prozac after just three days of taking it. She said, and I quote the first thing that I really noticed after taking it.
It's just like where your gentle where your genitals kind of shrink to one degree or another. Her saying this, she added that while she still may feel attracted to a member of the opposite sex, the sexual urge do not appear as a result of taking this class of drugs. It's not on the label. Doctors aren't worrying about this. FDA's being sued over it. It comes as doctors are doling out prescriptions for depression medications at rates never seen before.
At least six point five million teenagers and at least thirty eight million adults have a prescription for an antidepressant in the United States. That is embarrassing. We are the most drugged nation on the planet and we're one of the sickest ones. What's wrong with this picture? But none of those labels on these drugs is class of antidepressant drugs. SSRIs warn that these sexual side effects could
last for years after the person stops taking the drug. In Canada health regulators, they're acknowledged back in twenty twenty one that these side effects can last for years. Now, you need to know that ninety five percent of the body's serotonin production, which is what these drugs are messing with, is produced in your gut, in your intestine. Ninety five percent of our serotonin is produced
in our gut. You would think doctors would focus on that and helping the body to make more serotonin so it wouldn't have to block its uptake by giving you a drug that messes you over. The question becomes, why isn't there a greater effort to correct the intestinal imbalances which may be negatively impacting serotonin production in people who are depressed or anxious. That's the question. What about encouraging depressed people to exercise more? We know that helps with depression. How about
encouraging people who are depressed and anxious to get more sunlight. How about more talk therapy rather than pharmaceuticals. How about taking supplements to help the body in general and particularly the area of the body that makes the serotonin, like probiotics like doctor ohis probably oats, or going to the health food store and taking five htp trip to Fan or Saint John's Wart or trip to Fan. It goes on and on, and you wonder, well, if the body makes
ninety five percent of our needed serotonin, what happens? Why do people get depressed? How about antibiotics that have destroyed that part of the body, taking anti antibiotics unnecessary, or taking other pharmaceuticals which destroy the microbiome in the gut, disallowing the body to make it serotonin. Then you don't get the serotonin and you feel depressed. You see how getting into this circle of drugs is
problematic. Well, how about also providing this eating kiwi extra kiwi in your diet, which has trip to fan in it, which is a precursor to serotonin. You can do that dark chocolate, the good kind, the one without lots of sugar and milk, the one that's at least seventy percent cacao. Yeah, you can raise your serotonin with that. Kim Chi, sour kraut. These are all things that are fermented, yogurt, Kiefer, kombucha. They can ferment in your gut and help you to make more serotonin and
be less depressed. They help modulate the release of these neurotransmitters, these via the friendly bacteria. Now, just to keep people from being depressed. Uh. My co pilot of the show, Phil said he heard something recently about somebody singing a song about taking these things and taking pills for this and that. Let's play that, Phil, go like them. I'm taking with a dose of estrogen mixed with demarrol and prozec. Now I've got hair on my
chin. Son's on riddle len and bestraw. We thought he had add but it turns out that the whole time he is justin. Soob, if you're a help, listen, decline, just take ten pills and you'll find your fun. Oh my gosh, isn't it true? I mean, I know depression is a serious subject and we're not, you know, making fun of that, because people are truly depressed. But the way that we handle this thing is absurd. I mean, here we I have in my hands a
study that says study destroys SSRI antidepressant theory. First in twenty twenty two and Landmark Research shot a large hole in the whole low Serotonin Causes depression biochemical narrative, previously accepted uncritically as the gospel, and which has sustained the multi billion
dollar SSRII sales commerce for decades. Wow. So what they're basically saying is it is just a drug category invented out a whole cloth, and the only people are really benefiting by it. And I'm sure people do benefit by it, especially placebo theory is strong and living life large. It's there. All
right, We're gonna move on. Ladies and gentlemen, stay tuned.

Brevity is appreciated, making it fair for everybody wishing to get into the program. All right, speaking of callers, let's get back to it. Next up on the call is Chuck calling in from Lexington,
Tennessee. Chuck from Lexington, Tennessee. I understand why I don't have body odor, but why am I drug resistant? Also, well, you may be drug resistant because of and I'm not sure how he was talking in reference to connecting the body odor him not having body odor and having a drug resistant resistance, and he could be drug resistance because every one of our detox system, which happens in the liver primarily there's different phases of detoxification in the
liver, is complicated from a chemistry standpoint. I won't bore you, but each one of us has a little bit of a different detox system on board. A classic example is to explain this, Chuck, is to think about this. I mean, how many people do you know that you eventually find out if they drink let's say, one or two beers, they're like inebriated,
they can't even function or stand up. And then the next person, their buddy or the person that they're with sitting next to them, they can drink almost a half a half of a bottle of wine or a six packer more of beer and not be too hobbled by it, not seem to be too intoxicated. It all has to do with the way that our body detoxifies us through the liver and how fast and efficient those levels of detoxification are.
And some people genetically are just not geared toward you know, toxic load, you know, personally myself, I don't mind telling you if and when I do, and I rarely do have an adult beverage and some special celebration. Oh it doesn't take much for me to feel it. Oh my gosh. And I've got friends again that could drink whole bottles of wine, they can
take shots on end. It just seem like nothing is happening, and I feel sorry for them because my body is saying no, and it punishes me immediately, and a lot of other people understand it can relate to this. They get high easy. I would be a very cheap date if I was single, and I'm not. I've been married well as of this August fifty years. I'm not complaining or bragging. I'm just saying so. It has to do with the way that we detoxify, and also drug resistance can have
something to do with your exposure, your previous exposure. We now hear about all this drug resistant activity that's going on with antibiotics. They have been abused and used by the medical profession. Yes, antibiotics are miracle drugs, no question about it. If you get a bacterial infection that can save your life,
it is saved countless lives. But when you take it so much, either in the form of prescription drugs or it's in the beef that you're eating, because cattle and livestock they get pumped full of antibiotics to get them fattened up, keep out of infections. That goes into your body makes you drug resistant for the next drug that they may give you to save your life, or it's in something else the water or whatever. It may be, and
these could be some of the reasons why you are drug resistant. But you can work with a functional medicine trained doctor or an integratively trained doctor to go through a detoxification process in your liver, clean up your gut, and give you the appropriate nutrients and diet and lifestyle and maybe you can overcome this drug resistance issue you have. Anyway, Chuck again, thank you for your phone call. Appreciate you listening into the program and calling in with your questions.

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 light from entering, which interferes with sharp, clear vision. A science based cataract reversal eye drop called can See is changing lives of people with
poor vision caused by cataract.

Eight hundred six zero six eighty eight twenty two. All right, let's see if we can get another caller in before the end of the hour. Next up is Rich calling in from Denver, Colorado. I got to Bob. I'm Rick from Denver, and my question is I'm trying to figure out how
to get four out of my bath water. I like to take detox baths, I know, like putting things like lemons in there and theyking soa have some salt helps get rid of it, but I really can't find it silted for the bathtub. And I just wonder if you had any input. Okay, Rick from Denver, thank you for your phone call. Yeah, that's an issue because if you're going to sit there and soak, maybe in a bathtub, maybe it's a good idea to have the cleanest water coming into that
bathtub as possible. And some of the city and state municipalities have larger quantities and higher concentrations of both fluoride and chlorine, which when you're in contact with it does there's a certain amount of it absorbs into your body and it can impact certain organs and glands and tissues, including the thyroid gland. A lot of doctors are looking at that these days, how these fluorides and chlorides and
stuff impacts the way that the hormone zones are in the thyroid gland. So but the best system, rich, if you're in control of it, is to have a whole house water system installed. Make an investment in your health. These whole house water systems help to remove these kinds of toxins and some
of them are more sophisticated, some are not. And that's what you would be doing as you would be inquiring to the companies that make these whole house water systems to say, okay, look what I want filtered out in a perfect world into my home so that I can perhaps drink the water, because I'm certainly not going to drink sink water, and I also want to bathe in it. I want that stuff removed. So tell me about the water system you have and how much it costs, and has it been proven to
remove fluoride and chlorine in my water? And if so, I'll buy it. I'm down. And then you get it and you never have to worry about it again. You don't have to worry about it brushing your teeth coming through the faucet, or taking a shower or taking a bath. You'd be looking for a whole house water system that blocks through these hepaphila or not hepa filters, but charcoal filters and other sophisticated filtration technology to block these elements,
these toxicities that you don't want or need. That technology exists, Rick, and I'm glad you brought it up. Good health to you, sir. All Right, ladies and gentlemen, stick around when we come back. We're going to talk about how marriage more likely to save you from cancer than chemo. I kid you not. I'm doctor Bob Martin.
