00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,760
Prepare to have your health questions answered here on Safe, Effective, Natural Solutions

2
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:12,080
with Dr. Todd Binkley, owner of Binkley Healing Center in downtown Ventura.

3
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,440
Now, here's Dr. Todd.

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:21,440
Good afternoon, I am Dr. Todd Binkley, practitioner of functional medicine and doctor of non-force

5
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:22,440
chiropractic.

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:28,800
The purpose of this show is to arm you, educate you, give you information you can use to take

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:35,720
better care of yourself so that you don't become dependent on standard medical care,

8
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,260
on pharmaceuticals, on drugs for the rest of your life, or needing surgery or ending

9
00:00:40,260 --> 00:00:42,240
up in a hospital.

10
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,120
Those are all really important things when you need them, but most people would rather

11
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,680
avoid them.

12
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:54,080
But it's nice, it's one thing to say I'd like to avoid that, and it's another thing

13
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,760
to actually make it happen.

14
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:02,120
So to make it happen, to avoid the complications of decay.

15
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,880
I hear people all the time, not all the time, occasionally, I was going to say all the time.

16
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,480
Occasionally I hear people say, oh, it's just hell getting old, you know, getting old, oh

17
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,880
my God, getting old, it's the worst.

18
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,880
Well, do you want to die?

19
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,680
Most people don't want to die.

20
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,600
People just don't want to be disabled.

21
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,400
People don't want to be miserable.

22
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:30,880
So my motto, it's on my business card, is live long, live well.

23
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,560
Don't just live long and be miserable, but live long and live well.

24
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:41,480
So if you want to live well for whatever number of years, it doesn't matter, oh my God, I

25
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,440
don't want to live to be 100, I'm going for 120, why not?

26
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,600
What day are you going to wake up and not want to wake up the next day?

27
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,880
Well, only someday that you don't feel good, that you're miserable.

28
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,280
So you want to feel good, you want to be fit and healthy, or at least, you know, be able

29
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,320
to basically function and enjoy life.

30
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:04,400
That's the goal.

31
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:09,400
That's the goal for this show, to arm you with information that you need to take, to

32
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:17,080
do what will actually enable you to feel good until your candle blows out.

33
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:23,120
And that's not just going to happen, you can't just say, okay, yeah, I want that.

34
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,600
If I listen to your show, will that happen?

35
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,400
No, I've tried it several times.

36
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:32,160
I've tried buying books that I really like and just sticking them under my pillow to

37
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:38,120
see if I would wake up the next morning and have all the insights from those books in

38
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,120
my head.

39
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,120
No, you actually have to do it.

40
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:46,480
I'm sorry, I'm a provider of information, but also a coach.

41
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:47,800
You have to do something.

42
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:54,040
You have to do something to take better care of your health if you want to be healthy and

43
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,860
prevent ending up dependent on drugs.

44
00:02:57,860 --> 00:03:06,000
So part of the way that I help people on this show understand that better is by reviewing

45
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,840
some of the medical literature that their doctors, so when you go to most doctors, they're

46
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,720
going to just recommend standard medical care.

47
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,880
And where do they get the information upon which they base those recommendations?

48
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,320
They get it from medical literature.

49
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,120
So medical literature is published online now.

50
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:28,560
You used to have to subscribe to medical journals, each one of them 300 bucks a month.

51
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,720
Typically I used to subscribe to some of them, the Journal of the American Medical Association,

52
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,560
et cetera, British Medical Journal.

53
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:43,320
There are specialty journals for heart, cardiovascular, gut, all the parts of the body, medical specialties.

54
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:49,360
But all this stuff is available, at least in summary form, online now and Medscape.

55
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,080
Medscape, not WebMD.

56
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:58,320
So WebMD, just so you know, WebMD is for patients, for laypeople.

57
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,920
Please ignore, don't subscribe to WebMD.

58
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,240
Don't look at WebMD.

59
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,540
WebMD is financed by the pharmaceutical companies.

60
00:04:06,540 --> 00:04:10,440
There's never any useful health information on WebMD.

61
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:15,240
There's sometimes, occasionally, good information about medical diseases.

62
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:22,880
But the best information that most doctors use is published by Medscape.com.

63
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,280
M-E-D-scape, S-C-A-P-E.com.

64
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:28,280
Medscape.com.

65
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:33,320
Med, MedNews, what's the one?

66
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,280
MedPage Today is another one.

67
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:40,640
MedPage Today also has a good compendium of medical research.

68
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:45,360
These are places that, compendiums of medical research.

69
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:52,680
But anyone can subscribe to them and you probably won't want to read all of the information

70
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,160
that's provided because it's kind of technical.

71
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,560
So that's my job.

72
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,240
That's why you're listening to this show.

73
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,800
So here's a headline on Medscape.

74
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:07,400
Are food emulsifiers associated with increased cancer risk?

75
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,080
Well yes, they are.

76
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,360
What's an emulsifier?

77
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:17,200
Food emulsifiers are among the most widespread food additives.

78
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:24,480
So preserved foods that have a shelf life, even if they're frozen, but especially if

79
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,640
they're not, are added to food to increase their shelf life.

80
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:35,160
And they have a strong association with an increased risk of certain cancers, especially

81
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,200
breast and prostate cancer.

82
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:43,520
So there's a new term in the literature, which is really important to know about.

83
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,840
And it's ultra processed foods.

84
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:49,360
UPF.

85
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,400
It's actually become an acronym.

86
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:52,520
UPF.

87
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,720
Ultra processed foods.

88
00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:03,560
So ultra processed foods are sodas, drinks, fruit juices, frozen foods.

89
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,760
I'll come back to that.

90
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:07,760
There's some other ones.

91
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:12,720
But ultra processed foods constitute a significant part of our diet, representing approximately

92
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:19,360
30% of the energy intake in France, so says this article.

93
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:25,400
And large studies have already linked diets rich in ultra processed foods to an increased

94
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:30,760
risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and death.

95
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:37,720
Explanations for this association include the presence of additives, particularly emulsifiers.

96
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:43,600
So these additives are added to improve the texture and shelf life of foods.

97
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:50,280
And experimental studies have shown that they affect the gut microbiota and lead to low

98
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:52,480
grade inflammation.

99
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:57,760
So dysbiosis and inflammation not only increase the risk for inflammatory bowel diseases,

100
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:06,580
but are also implicated in the disease process of other chronic diseases and certain cancers

101
00:07:06,580 --> 00:07:07,980
in other parts of the body.

102
00:07:07,980 --> 00:07:11,360
So I was just translating that from the medical jargon in the study.

103
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,520
But it's really, really bad.

104
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,720
It's this crap that you want to grow your, it's hard.

105
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:19,720
It's hard.

106
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:20,720
I understand it.

107
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,960
It's hard to grow your own food or buy fresh vegetables.

108
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:29,720
It's really convenient just to buy something in the freezer section of the supermarket,

109
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,120
stick it in the microwave and eat it.

110
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:40,240
The problem is some of those things are healthier than others and most of them are just not

111
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:41,240
healthy.

112
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:47,800
So if you're buying frozen vegetables, frozen broccoli, frozen green beans, frozen any kind

113
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,840
of vegetable and wearing them, it would be better.

114
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:59,640
Honestly, it's, you can, I have a countertop convection oven.

115
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:05,240
Looks like a toaster oven, but it's bigger, big enough to roast a whole chicken with convection.

116
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:10,520
So convection oven means, convection oven is basically a toaster oven with a fan in

117
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:11,520
it.

118
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:17,720
So convection means the heating element comes on and there's a fan that moves the air around

119
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,640
inside the heat and makes it cook a lot faster.

120
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,680
So convection oven is really great.

121
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:30,200
It's the best way you can roast a steak, you can roast chicken, you can roast vegetables.

122
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,480
So much better than using a microwave to cook anything.

123
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,920
It tastes better and it's better for you.

124
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,360
And it's almost as fast.

125
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:43,800
I mean, microwaves are obviously the fastest way to cook most things, but unless you're

126
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:48,720
just heating water, most things are so much better.

127
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:56,880
If you roast or bake or cook them in a convection oven, and a lot of people's ovens already

128
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,760
have convection in your house.

129
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,440
And if you don't have one, then you can buy a countertop convection oven.

130
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:10,000
I like using a countertop convection oven because it cools down really, especially in

131
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,400
the summer in California.

132
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,400
It cools down really quickly.

133
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:14,960
You don't have to heat up the whole house.

134
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,840
If you heat up your oven, it's just too much.

135
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,960
Heat takes too long to cool back down.

136
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:25,280
An electric convection oven on your countertop will very quickly heat up to, mine heats up

137
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:33,160
to 500 degrees and it will broil a steak to perfection and then cool down 20 minutes later.

138
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,120
You turn it off, the heat's gone.

139
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,160
It doesn't cook your house and make you have to turn up the air conditioner or open the

140
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,160
windows.

141
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:45,660
So anyway, it's nice, whatever you want to do, cook your food in a healthy way.

142
00:09:45,660 --> 00:09:48,920
But the point is avoid these emulsifiers.

143
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,400
So I got a little off track there.

144
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,320
We're talking about emulsifiers.

145
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,440
So emulsifiers are things that suspend fats and liquids.

146
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:06,720
So soap, when you're cleaning greasy dishes after eating, soap is an emulsifier.

147
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:13,800
It suspends the fats in water so that you can remove them from a greasy dish and wash

148
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,300
them down the drain.

149
00:10:15,300 --> 00:10:20,080
So similarly in foods, emulsifiers suspend fats.

150
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:27,360
So emulsifiers are in baked goods, all baked goods have starch and fat in them.

151
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,720
And almost all baked goods are bad for you.

152
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,240
Baked goods are not healthy.

153
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:38,000
Just try to minimize your consumption of anything baked.

154
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:44,880
Bagels, cakes, cookies, crackers, all baked goods are bad for your, they should be considered

155
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:45,880
treats.

156
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:46,880
They're delicious.

157
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:47,880
I eat them.

158
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,480
I know everyone eats them.

159
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:51,880
They're wonderful.

160
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:59,800
But you should consider them treats, not a part, not a normal healthy part of your diet.

161
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,320
There's no healthy baked good.

162
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,680
Baked goods are, there's no healthy baked good.

163
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:15,000
The bread of life, throughout history it's been considered that bread is healthy to survive.

164
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,840
Well, it will keep you alive.

165
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,240
It will prevent you from starving.

166
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:25,520
But if you live in the West, if you live where we, most of the people, most of the listeners

167
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:32,200
of this show, hopefully you all have access to healthier foods and baked goods are not

168
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,040
healthy foods.

169
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,760
Vegetables are healthy foods.

170
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:42,720
Protein, nuts, animal protein, seeds, grains are healthy foods.

171
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,060
We consume far too much starch.

172
00:11:45,060 --> 00:11:51,600
Most people consume far too much grains, starch and sugar and not enough healthy fats because

173
00:11:51,600 --> 00:12:00,680
we've been brainwashed by the government and by other so-called educators to eat low fat,

174
00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:01,760
this and that.

175
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:02,920
Don't eat anything.

176
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,480
Don't buy anything that says low fat on the label.

177
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,000
Because you know what low fat means?

178
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,400
High sugar.

179
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:17,440
Anything low fat that's a product that's not, I mean carrots are low fat.

180
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,960
If you're buying a vegetable that doesn't have a label on it that says low fat, but

181
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:26,200
anything that does have a label on it that says low fat is usually, 99% of the time,

182
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,600
a processed food that is mostly starch and sugar.

183
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,480
The only way you're going to eat it, they have to make it edible.

184
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,280
They have to make it taste good or you won't buy it.

185
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:48,000
So anything that says low fat like low fat yogurt, low fat cheese, low fat prepared meal,

186
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:54,040
whatever it is, if it's low fat just think to yourself high sugar because the only way

187
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,960
they can make that thing taste good so that if you buy it, you'll buy it again later is

188
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:03,600
if you like it because it tastes good and the only way it's going to taste good is that

189
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,320
they replace the fat with sugar.

190
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,400
So sugar is always worse.

191
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,480
There's bad fats, definitely.

192
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:17,080
No one should consume too much fat either, but everything has become backwards for 30

193
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,760
years, 50 years, since the 70s.

194
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:21,760
It's crazy.

195
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,080
The good fats are good for you.

196
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,200
Cholesterol is an essential nutrient.

197
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,840
Cholesterol doesn't cause heart disease.

198
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:33,480
It's strongly associated with heart disease, but the process is created by inflammation.

199
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:38,120
You'll see my previous episodes about heart disease for more information on this.

200
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:49,240
So don't eat low fat anything because these low fat foods have food emulsifiers to get

201
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,960
back to the point of what I was talking about before.

202
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:59,600
Large epidemiologic studies have already identified links between diets rich and ultra processed

203
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:07,160
products to an increased risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and death.

204
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:11,520
So this is caused by the stuff they put in this crap food.

205
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:18,160
So notably the highest consumption of these fats that are in processed food, that are

206
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:26,320
in manufactured food, not natural food, things that you buy that are prepared already, were

207
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:32,520
associated with a 15% increased risk for all types of cancer, 15% increased risk of all

208
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:42,080
types of cancer, and 24% increase in breast cancer, 40%, 46% increase in prostate cancer

209
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,080
risk.

210
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:50,620
The highest consumption of carrageenan, so carrageenan is one of these preservatives

211
00:14:50,620 --> 00:15:00,920
that are very, very prevalent in processed crap food, was associated with a 28% increase,

212
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:08,400
double increased risk in breast cancer, 28% increased risk in breast cancer.

213
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,640
So it's bad to eat this stuff.

214
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,520
We're all busy.

215
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:19,640
I recommend that people go to farmer's market, grow your own food if you can, but if you

216
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:25,640
can't, go to farmer's market or go to a health food store or go to someplace that sells organic

217
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,320
vegetables and bring them home.

218
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:33,920
The frustrating thing about eating healthy food is it takes work, it takes time to chop

219
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:38,760
everything up and you buy stuff and throw it in the fridge and then it rots.

220
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:46,640
So the best way that I've found to deal with that situation is ultimately the best thing

221
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:51,200
is to grow your own food because then your own food growing in your own garden, they're

222
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,320
your babies, you're going to want to eat that food.

223
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,600
You're going to make sure that you eat it, it's not going to die.

224
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:01,640
But that's hard for most people, so if you're not going to grow your own food, then buy

225
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:12,360
organic, preferably healthy vegetables, especially broccoli, spinach, kale, Google recipes for

226
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:13,360
these things.

227
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,800
If you think kale sounds disgusting, it is if you eat it raw.

228
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:27,360
Crudite, whoever thought of that, people, they put this at parties, raw broccoli, raw

229
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:32,840
cauliflower that you're supposed to dip in ranch sauce, that's disgusting, don't do that.

230
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:40,960
If you cook, some vegetables should be cooked, broccoli, cauliflower, definitely kale.

231
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,440
There's ways to prepare kale.

232
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,680
Most people hate kale, I shouldn't talk too much about kale.

233
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,880
It is actually delicious if you know how to prepare it.

234
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,780
Email me, I'll tell you how to do it.

235
00:16:48,780 --> 00:16:53,440
But most vegetables are just better if you cook them, just steam them.

236
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:58,520
Steam them, cook them in a little water, boil them a little bit, and they're delicious.

237
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:03,640
And add a little salt and pepper, some garlic and onions.

238
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:08,000
Most vegetables can be made delicious with a little bit of salt and pepper and garlic

239
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,860
and onions and if you cook them.

240
00:17:10,860 --> 00:17:18,760
So eat mostly vegetables and you will live long and live well.

241
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:23,480
I'm Dr. Todd Binkley, you're listening to Safe, Effective, Natural Solutions to Almost

242
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:24,480
Any Health Challenge.

243
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:30,960
Today I am reviewing some of the medical literature that comes out that influences the decisions

244
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:38,180
that other doctors make about whether or not you need this or that drug or some other medical

245
00:17:38,180 --> 00:17:43,640
procedure to address whatever you show up in their office for.

246
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,760
But of course the purpose of this show is to arm you with information so that you know

247
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:52,720
what other options are available for any condition.

248
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:59,200
I always like to include specific case studies, patients that have seen me that I've actually

249
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:06,040
helped that inspire you to give you an impression of what's possible and I have lots of those.

250
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,720
Please check out my past episodes.

251
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:16,120
This show is live every Friday on KDAR 98.3 FM at 4 o'clock.

252
00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:22,740
But all of the past episodes are also on my website as a podcast and on Spotify and Apple

253
00:18:22,740 --> 00:18:25,360
podcasts and YouTube.

254
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:31,880
Basically anywhere you can get a podcast you can find all the past episodes of my show.

255
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,240
So here's another headline.

256
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:38,080
Today I am reviewing just some of the medical literature that influences the decisions that

257
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:44,360
your doctors make when you go into sort of any random insurance doctor, whoever your

258
00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:45,960
GP is.

259
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,920
E-cigarettes tied to heart failure.

260
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,440
That's really, really sad.

261
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:56,840
Association seen with heart failure and ejection fraction.

262
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:57,840
So that's a little technical.

263
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:04,320
But the bottom line is the hoopla was oh, originally if you did an E-cigarette that

264
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:10,920
would be better than cigarettes obviously instead of the nicotine and heavy metals,

265
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,960
cadmium, tobacco is full.

266
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:22,600
You couldn't make, if you wanted to, you couldn't make a better plant to kill human beings than

267
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:23,600
tobacco.

268
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:24,940
It's just, it's perfect.

269
00:19:24,940 --> 00:19:25,940
It's addictive.

270
00:19:25,940 --> 00:19:28,440
It's got the nicotine that makes you have a little bit of it.

271
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:29,980
You want more of it.

272
00:19:29,980 --> 00:19:32,240
And it's full of toxic chemicals.

273
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:33,240
It's the best.

274
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,800
So there are, so here's a corollary.

275
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,880
I think this is important to understand.

276
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:43,640
California has Prop 65, Proposition 65, cancer warnings.

277
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:51,200
I get questions like this all the time about Prop 65 warnings about cancer causing properties

278
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:57,520
and supplements, some of the supplements that I recommend to my patients come when I order

279
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:02,000
them with Prop 65 warnings, which is ridiculous.

280
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,120
California is a pioneer.

281
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:11,480
The state of California is a pioneer in establishing regulations to protect human health.

282
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:19,640
But Prop 65 is unfortunately just an example of government gone overboard.

283
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,560
I have patients nationwide.

284
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:27,160
I have patients in New York and New Jersey and Georgia and Colorado and Nebraska and

285
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:35,160
New Mexico and Texas and Washington State, Oregon, all over the country and every part

286
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,160
of California.

287
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:41,640
I consult with people online and occasionally I send them supplements and buried in the

288
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:46,140
language at the bottom of the label is, oh my God, a Prop 65 warning.

289
00:20:46,140 --> 00:20:48,080
This may cause cancer.

290
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:55,840
Well, lead and mercury and toxic heavy metals are ubiquitous in the surface of the earth.

291
00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:03,760
California Prop 65, they put Prop 65 warnings on organic vegetables.

292
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:04,840
It's ridiculous.

293
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:09,460
It was a good idea at the outset to give, especially for pregnant women.

294
00:21:09,460 --> 00:21:16,600
So pregnant women, maybe pregnant women should not eat, consume anything with a Prop 65 warning

295
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:17,600
on it.

296
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,560
Even then there are exceptions.

297
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:24,120
For anyone who's not a pregnant woman, I recommend you just ignore.

298
00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:30,120
If it's a supplement or a healthy food, if it's a vegetable or a supplement and it has

299
00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:35,160
a California Prop 65 warning on it, just ignore it because it's ridiculous.

300
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:42,680
There's trace amounts of lead and mercury and apples and oranges and anything that comes

301
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,240
from the surface of the earth.

302
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:50,280
It's unfortunate that they've just gone overboard and slapped these labels on healthy foods

303
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:58,000
to scare people when their energy would be much better served by telling them to not

304
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,320
smoke e-cigarettes.

305
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,640
So got a little off track there again, like I often do.

306
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,240
We're talking about e-cigarettes.

307
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:12,480
So e-cigarettes were thought to be an alternative to all the toxic chemicals in regular cigarettes

308
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:13,520
and they're worse.

309
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:21,160
People are showing up in hospitals with severe respiratory disease and a lot of these e-cigarettes

310
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:26,400
also add nicotine and obviously that's bad, but at least people have the choice whether

311
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,320
or not they're consuming nicotine in their e-cigarettes.

312
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:37,000
But just the basic ingredients that provide the smoke, that provide the experience, that

313
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:45,440
make an e-cigarette work, those things are toxic, hugely toxic and they're poorly regulated.

314
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:52,040
The government, the FDA, the federal government is just starting to regulate these things.

315
00:22:52,040 --> 00:23:01,200
But the American College of Cardiology said that both users of these had a 59% increased

316
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,940
risk of developing heart failure.

317
00:23:03,940 --> 00:23:05,220
These things are bad.

318
00:23:05,220 --> 00:23:09,320
People are showing up in hospitals with lung disease.

319
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:19,160
Again, another quote from this study linking harmful effects to myocardial endothelial

320
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,000
function and microvascular function.

321
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:28,900
So what that means in English is the inner lining of your blood vessels, the cause of

322
00:23:28,900 --> 00:23:35,440
heart attacks and strokes is inflammation in the lining of your blood vessels.

323
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:43,000
And these e-cigarettes, people vaping, are irritating, causing inflammation in the lining

324
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,620
of the blood vessels.

325
00:23:44,620 --> 00:23:46,640
So it's bad.

326
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,220
No one should be using this.

327
00:23:48,220 --> 00:23:49,960
So they're pushing back.

328
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:57,080
There used to be a recommendation to vape or use e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation

329
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,880
tool and now they're stating that that's a really bad idea.

330
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,440
No one should do that.

331
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,440
They're not officially recommended as a smoking cessation tool.

332
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,560
Basically, no one should vape.

333
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,240
These things are bad.

00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:12,540
