Hello, and welcome
to Coronavirus Report.
00:00:12.37\00:00:15.24
We're here with Pastor Stephen
Bohr, the president and speaker
00:00:15.64\00:00:19.08
for Secrets Unsealed,
00:00:19.11\00:00:20.95
and our chief resource
person, Dr. Milton Teske, who is
00:00:21.28\00:00:25.15
our board chair and
who is the health officer
00:00:25.19\00:00:27.96
for Kings County and
has many connections with
00:00:27.99\00:00:30.63
the CDC and other organizations
that sort of keeps him on the
00:00:30.66\00:00:34.10
front edge of the information.
00:00:34.13\00:00:36.56
And that's what
we're here to give you.
00:00:36.60\00:00:37.97
And I'm C. A. Murray.
00:00:38.00\00:00:39.33
We're glad to have you with
us, and hopefully today we can
00:00:39.43\00:00:41.90
inform you and help you
to stay healthy and free of
00:00:41.94\00:00:46.68
the virus, and let
you know how you can
00:00:46.71\00:00:49.34
walk your way through and
do well during these troublous
00:00:49.84\00:00:53.48
times that create so much
mental and physical stress
00:00:53.52\00:00:57.59
on all of us as we're
trying to stay healthy
00:00:57.62\00:00:59.55
and trying to stay
well and do our jobs.
00:00:59.59\00:01:01.12
Gentlemen, good
to have you here.
00:01:01.16\00:01:02.69
Good to be here.
00:01:02.72\00:01:04.06
And, Pastor,
we'll let you lead off
00:01:04.09\00:01:06.63
because I know
you've got a lot to say.
00:01:06.66\00:01:08.00
I've got a list
of questions here.
00:01:08.03\00:01:09.36
And then the good doctor came
with an arm load of information.
00:01:09.40\00:01:13.07
- Too much for
one program. ~ Indeed.
00:01:14.14\00:01:16.04
Okay, I just want to
start, Dr. Teske, by asking
00:01:17.01\00:01:20.98
about the percentage of
individuals that have had to
00:01:21.54\00:01:25.81
go to the hospital and
have been on respirators.
00:01:25.85\00:01:28.82
About pre-existing conditions.
00:01:29.48\00:01:31.32
Is the greater proportion
of people who are going
00:01:31.35\00:01:33.92
to the hospital and on
respirators, is it because
00:01:33.96\00:01:37.33
they have
pre-existing conditions?
00:01:37.36\00:01:38.89
And how does that impact?
00:01:38.93\00:01:40.30
Yeah, if we look at it,
we just got the statistics
00:01:40.40\00:01:42.83
out of New York recently.
00:01:42.86\00:01:44.63
And in New York, 92%
of those hospitalized
00:01:44.73\00:01:48.87
also had obesity, or
diabetes, or hypertension,
00:01:49.07\00:01:53.94
or coronary artery
disease, or some of these other
00:01:54.21\00:01:57.71
what we would call metabolic
syndrome type diseases as well.
00:01:57.75\00:02:01.82
And so, it's the thinking,
as you add these on top of that,
00:02:01.85\00:02:06.52
then we're going to
really get in trouble.
00:02:06.55\00:02:08.32
So how does it
work physiologically?
00:02:08.86\00:02:10.66
Is it because the
immune system is weak,
00:02:10.69\00:02:14.76
that the virus is
able to do more with people
00:02:14.80\00:02:17.93
who have
pre-existing conditions?
00:02:17.97\00:02:19.80
Last time, we talked a
lot about the immune system,
00:02:19.83\00:02:22.40
and that's
certainly a role in there.
00:02:22.44\00:02:24.44
But there's something
new that's coming out now
00:02:24.67\00:02:27.11
that's showing up in
what's going on here.
00:02:27.14\00:02:30.45
Doctors everywhere
are starting to realize
00:02:30.75\00:02:34.25
that these COVID patients have
problems forming blood clots.
00:02:34.28\00:02:39.29
They're making
clots when they shouldn't.
00:02:39.72\00:02:42.12
They're making
clots in the arteries
00:02:42.16\00:02:43.73
where there's
not supposed to be.
00:02:43.76\00:02:45.36
You may have seen just
this week on the news that
00:02:45.56\00:02:47.86
there's a whole slew that
realize otherwise young healthy
00:02:47.90\00:02:51.23
people were getting strokes.
00:02:51.27\00:02:53.60
Well, what are strokes?
00:02:54.07\00:02:55.40
A stroke is a blood clot
that is formed in the brain,
00:02:55.44\00:02:58.21
and block the brain,
and now you've got a stroke.
00:02:58.74\00:03:03.95
And we're seeing
that, surprisingly, even in
00:03:04.75\00:03:08.58
young people which didn't have
underlying artery type disease.
00:03:08.62\00:03:12.75
~ More than usual?
00:03:12.92\00:03:14.26
Oh yes, yes.
00:03:14.32\00:03:16.16
One of the persons said
their number of stroke patients
00:03:16.46\00:03:20.86
has doubled than
they would typically have.
00:03:20.90\00:03:24.53
You know, normally we always
have people that are getting
00:03:24.57\00:03:26.63
strokes because they've
got bad arteries and stuff.
00:03:26.67\00:03:29.64
It's one of the things
that happens here in America.
00:03:29.67\00:03:32.84
But now we're
getting twice that many.
00:03:33.07\00:03:36.88
And among them are something
that we very rarely see,
00:03:37.38\00:03:41.22
which is young
people with strokes.
00:03:41.25\00:03:43.05
Usually people, I think
the mean age, the medium for
00:03:43.15\00:03:46.82
strokes is around 72.
00:03:47.46\00:03:49.56
So, you know, half your
people are over 72, half under.
00:03:50.06\00:03:52.76
But that's sort of the
middle of the pack where you
00:03:52.79\00:03:54.76
see people with strokes.
00:03:54.80\00:03:56.23
And now we're seeing
30 year olds with strokes,
00:03:56.56\00:04:00.40
40 year olds with strokes,
50 year olds with strokes.
00:04:00.44\00:04:03.30
And so, the virus is causing...
00:04:03.54\00:04:07.18
We don't understand
totally exactly what it's doing,
00:04:07.21\00:04:09.98
but it has to do
something with the endothelium,
00:04:10.18\00:04:14.02
the artery wall, and it's
breaking down and it's forming
00:04:14.05\00:04:16.92
blood clots in there.
00:04:16.95\00:04:18.55
Now if you think about it,
this is sort of the opposite
00:04:19.09\00:04:21.39
of some of our
more other recent ones.
00:04:21.42\00:04:23.93
Ebola was a really bad,
you know, thing going around,
00:04:24.53\00:04:27.60
and it had the opposite.
00:04:27.63\00:04:28.96
We call it a hemorrhagic fever.
00:04:29.00\00:04:31.00
Because it
caused blood not to clot
00:04:31.33\00:04:34.30
and people would start
bleed out of everywhere.
00:04:34.34\00:04:36.74
Well this is the opposite one.
00:04:36.84\00:04:38.91
So the doctors are
realizing now that they start
00:04:39.21\00:04:42.31
anticoagulants fairly
early in these patients.
00:04:42.34\00:04:45.88
And they will move on
to the various, you know,
00:04:46.18\00:04:51.95
clot dissolving
drugs for strokes.
00:04:52.22\00:04:55.89
And by the way, any of you
who are, you know, watching this
00:04:57.26\00:05:00.90
and have someone that you know,
00:05:00.93\00:05:04.80
or you start to get what
might be a symptom of a stroke,
00:05:04.83\00:05:08.27
don't put it off or ignore it.
00:05:08.64\00:05:11.01
You know, what are the symptoms?
00:05:11.47\00:05:13.01
Well, you get
numbness or deadness, you know,
00:05:13.04\00:05:15.44
in one side, or
one arm, or one spot.
00:05:15.48\00:05:18.01
Or you get some paralysis or
sudden weakness in, you know,
00:05:18.05\00:05:22.72
one side or one
part of the body.
00:05:22.75\00:05:24.95
Or loss of speech, or
the speech becomes slurred.
00:05:24.99\00:05:28.36
You know, these type of things
that would be warning signs
00:05:28.52\00:05:31.06
for a stroke, you want to
immediately, you know, call 911,
00:05:31.09\00:05:35.76
get into a
hospital emergency room.
00:05:35.80\00:05:38.67
Ideally, in a
hospital that specializes in
00:05:38.70\00:05:42.24
some type of stroke care.
00:05:42.27\00:05:44.01
Most hospitals now are
starting, or at least many are
00:05:45.77\00:05:48.11
starting to develop,
they have code stroke.
00:05:48.14\00:05:50.91
And if you come in with
the symptoms of a stroke,
00:05:51.11\00:05:53.55
immediately you go
straight to the CT scanner,
00:05:53.58\00:05:56.38
they scan to make
sure it's not bleeding.
00:05:56.42\00:05:58.62
Because we can't give
these drugs if you're bleeding.
00:05:58.89\00:06:00.96
We would make it worse,
and you would bleed out.
00:06:00.99\00:06:02.42
And that's usually fatal.
00:06:02.46\00:06:03.79
So that's the first
thing that will happen.
00:06:03.93\00:06:05.76
And then, even before
you get your vital signs
00:06:05.89\00:06:08.63
they're going to scan you.
00:06:08.66\00:06:10.00
And then they do the
other preliminary stuff,
00:06:10.03\00:06:12.63
so that very quickly
we've got enough information
00:06:12.67\00:06:15.94
to go ahead and
say we can use TPA.
00:06:15.97\00:06:19.54
It's a substance drug
that we will run in the IV,
00:06:19.87\00:06:24.28
and it will cause
clots to dissolve.
00:06:24.48\00:06:28.02
And if we get this very early
on, frequently we can dissolve
00:06:28.72\00:06:32.72
that blood clot and open
it up and allow the blood flow
00:06:32.75\00:06:36.32
to return so you don't
get a permanent deficit,
00:06:36.36\00:06:38.89
a permanent stroke from this.
00:06:38.93\00:06:40.66
And in centers that have the
ability, they can go in with,
00:06:41.13\00:06:45.43
interventional radiologists
go in with a catheter,
00:06:45.47\00:06:48.44
they up through the arteries,
00:06:48.54\00:06:51.31
and they go right
up into the brain.
00:06:51.34\00:06:53.48
And if it's a large
clot blocking off one of the
00:06:53.68\00:06:56.04
main arteries...
00:06:56.08\00:06:57.41
And by the way, many of these
we are seeing in young people
00:06:57.45\00:07:00.42
are big vessel disease.
00:07:00.45\00:07:02.25
The middle carotid
artery is clotted off
00:07:02.62\00:07:06.89
and a whole half of
the body is paralyzed
00:07:06.92\00:07:09.22
and you can't
talk type of thing.
00:07:09.26\00:07:11.13
But they can go up, and
on the end of this catheter
00:07:11.49\00:07:14.33
they've got something
that's a little bit like a
00:07:14.36\00:07:15.96
cork screw in a cork.
00:07:16.00\00:07:17.57
And they can thread this
in and attach it into the
00:07:17.73\00:07:21.94
center of that blood
clot, and then they can gently
00:07:21.97\00:07:25.17
extract and pull it back
put, and back it back out of the
00:07:25.21\00:07:29.58
area where it was clogged
up there, and open that up.
00:07:29.61\00:07:32.65
They are doing those
if within three hours,
00:07:34.52\00:07:38.02
and we get excellent results.
00:07:38.05\00:07:39.65
They may do them
within six hours.
00:07:39.69\00:07:41.66
I think the cutoff
is around 24 hours.
00:07:42.19\00:07:44.53
By then it's really
too late to do anything.
00:07:44.56\00:07:46.76
Now, doc, you say
excellent results.
00:07:46.80\00:07:48.60
The effects of the
stroke can be reversed?
00:07:49.06\00:07:51.70
Or they're not doing
that much damage initially,
00:07:51.73\00:07:54.17
or they can
actually reverse the effects?
00:07:54.20\00:07:56.00
No. In other words,
when the stroke forms,
00:07:56.27\00:07:58.74
then suddenly things don't
work because there's no blood
00:07:58.77\00:08:01.64
going to those cells.
00:08:01.68\00:08:03.21
But now if I pull the clot
out and blood starts flowing
00:08:03.91\00:08:07.75
back there, well the
cells aren't dead yet.
00:08:07.78\00:08:10.65
And they can come back to life.
00:08:11.12\00:08:14.42
Now the longer we
wait, the worse the damage.
00:08:14.62\00:08:18.56
And the farther we
move down that road,
00:08:18.59\00:08:20.93
we're less and less
likely to get as much back.
00:08:20.96\00:08:23.60
So, you know, if you
should get stroke symptoms,
00:08:23.63\00:08:27.57
or someone you know is
getting stroke symptoms,
00:08:27.60\00:08:30.51
immediately get them into one
of the centers so this can be...
00:08:30.54\00:08:33.21
Don't wait and say,
"Well, I think it will go away.
00:08:33.24\00:08:35.34
It's probably nothing."
00:08:35.38\00:08:36.71
No, go in now
and let's find out.
00:08:36.75\00:08:38.55
Because it can also expand.
00:08:38.58\00:08:40.22
One of the doctors
was describing, he was
00:08:41.02\00:08:42.98
going in with one of these to...
00:08:43.02\00:08:44.72
You know, they can watch
it on the screen right here.
00:08:44.75\00:08:46.69
They can see where the clot is
and where the blood vessels are.
00:08:46.72\00:08:51.13
And while they were
extracting this clot,
00:08:51.16\00:08:52.96
they're seeing a
little clot form over here.
00:08:53.16\00:08:55.36
And another one form over here.
00:08:55.46\00:08:57.30
And apparently this
clotting is going on
00:08:57.53\00:09:01.27
in multiple
places at the same time.
00:09:01.37\00:09:03.97
Some smaller,
some less, some bigger.
00:09:04.01\00:09:07.01
But it's a really
serious problem there.
00:09:07.11\00:09:09.64
Just a follow-up question.
00:09:09.68\00:09:11.55
I know C.A. has lots of
questions, but I've heard
00:09:11.85\00:09:17.09
through the
grapevine that the 5G network
00:09:17.32\00:09:19.95
might have
something to do with it.
00:09:20.29\00:09:22.26
Is there any truth to that?
00:09:23.46\00:09:24.79
Well, we all know that
electromagnetic radiation
00:09:24.83\00:09:28.20
is not good for the human body.
00:09:28.23\00:09:30.20
And lots of radiation is worse.
00:09:30.67\00:09:33.20
And of course, the
5G is really, really
00:09:33.40\00:09:37.37
more radiation that's
being put on the human body.
00:09:37.41\00:09:41.14
And it does damage cells,
and it can cause problems there.
00:09:41.18\00:09:45.08
So I think if we add
that on top of all of these
00:09:45.11\00:09:49.85
other pre-existing conditions,
and now we've got a virus
00:09:49.88\00:09:53.49
in there, it
probably can contribute to it.
00:09:53.52\00:09:56.29
I don't quite go all the
way as some theories, you know.
00:09:56.83\00:10:01.20
Some of them maybe would
call them conspiracy theories,
00:10:01.23\00:10:03.23
that say, "Oh, this
is all just caused by 5G.
00:10:03.26\00:10:06.57
It's not really a
viral problem at all.
00:10:06.60\00:10:08.57
It's not a virus. It's..."
00:10:08.60\00:10:09.94
I think we've got
a real viral problem.
00:10:09.97\00:10:12.31
I mean, we know what it's
doing to the T lymphocytes.
00:10:12.34\00:10:14.94
And now we're finding
what it's doing to the
00:10:15.21\00:10:17.38
clotting mechanisms there.
00:10:17.41\00:10:19.25
You know, in addition to
the other viral destruction
00:10:19.41\00:10:22.45
it's doing in
lung tissue and stuff.
00:10:22.48\00:10:24.39
So I think we've got a
very real viral problem
00:10:24.42\00:10:26.86
with or without the 5G.
00:10:26.89\00:10:28.62
But 5G definitely won't
make it better, you know.
00:10:28.99\00:10:33.86
More electromagnetic radiation
is going to be bad for us
00:10:34.50\00:10:37.87
all the way around.
00:10:37.90\00:10:39.23
You know, they put 5G
in the big cities because
00:10:39.60\00:10:43.84
you have to have, it's a
short range, so you have to have
00:10:43.87\00:10:46.84
these high intense towers.
00:10:46.88\00:10:48.21
But you have to have a
lot of them real close.
00:10:48.24\00:10:50.08
They put those
in the big cities.
00:10:50.41\00:10:52.08
They don't put them
out in the smaller towns
00:10:52.11\00:10:53.92
and villages and countryside.
00:10:53.95\00:10:55.45
They use the
other cell phone range.
00:10:55.48\00:10:57.82
And probably will permanently.
00:10:57.85\00:10:59.19
You're not going to get
5G out in the country ever.
00:10:59.22\00:11:02.22
Nobody is going to
take the trouble to put
00:11:02.26\00:11:03.73
that many towers out there.
00:11:03.76\00:11:05.39
But then again, we've been
advised to get out of the cities
00:11:06.59\00:11:10.43
and live in country places.
00:11:10.47\00:11:12.97
You know, there may be
some electromagnetic reasons
00:11:13.47\00:11:17.17
for doing that, as
well as social reasons
00:11:17.21\00:11:19.97
due to the
environment in the city there.
00:11:20.01\00:11:22.14
- We might have to get
some satellite internet.
00:11:22.18\00:11:25.05
Yeah.
00:11:25.41\00:11:26.75
Yep.
00:11:27.18\00:11:28.52
Yep, I can tell you,
living in the country,
00:11:28.55\00:11:30.75
getting good
internet speeds is difficult.
00:11:30.79\00:11:33.56
- Yeah. - Difficult.
00:11:33.59\00:11:35.22
But you know, going
back to this clotting here,
00:11:35.66\00:11:39.69
we're realizing
that it explains a lot of
00:11:39.89\00:11:42.13
the other things as well.
00:11:42.16\00:11:43.57
Now we started off
with our understanding
00:11:43.60\00:11:46.57
of this coronavirus as
being a respiratory virus.
00:11:46.60\00:11:50.47
And people become hypoxic,
their lungs fill up with these
00:11:50.51\00:11:54.08
what they call,
ground-glass opacities.
00:11:54.11\00:11:56.31
That's the way
they look on a CT scan.
00:11:56.34\00:11:58.85
And that became a
real classic finding,
00:11:59.05\00:12:01.22
this CT scan with all of
these spots of whited out lung.
00:12:01.25\00:12:05.02
The hypoxia and
respiratory failure,
00:12:07.02\00:12:09.82
and we try to put people on
ventilators to keep them alive,
00:12:09.86\00:12:13.26
and they still
would get worse and die.
00:12:13.29\00:12:15.26
And some of it is
just straight pneumonia
00:12:15.83\00:12:19.43
because the virus is attacking
that respiratory epithelium
00:12:19.47\00:12:23.14
and causing it to break down.
00:12:23.34\00:12:25.34
But interestingly, what
we're beginning to realize now,
00:12:25.44\00:12:30.71
that much of what
we've been seeing going on
00:12:30.81\00:12:33.31
in the lungs, and the CT scans,
and the hypoxia, and stuff
00:12:33.35\00:12:37.39
is not really pneumonia
as it is pulmonary emboli.
00:12:37.85\00:12:43.63
In other words,
these little blood clots
00:12:44.39\00:12:47.30
that are forming on artery walls
and jamming and clogging up
00:12:47.33\00:12:52.00
things, if you block up
the blood vessels in the lung,
00:12:52.03\00:12:56.30
a few little ones or maybe
some bigger ones, or whatever,
00:12:56.54\00:12:59.31
but as you block up little
vessels out there, what happens?
00:12:59.34\00:13:03.21
Well, even if you're breathing
air through that part of
00:13:03.41\00:13:06.82
the lung, if blood is
not flowing through it,
00:13:06.85\00:13:09.88
then you're not
oxygenating blood
00:13:10.35\00:13:12.45
and you start to get less and
less oxygen out of each breath
00:13:12.49\00:13:16.19
because you're only passing
a little bit of blood through
00:13:16.22\00:13:18.66
part of the lung.
00:13:18.69\00:13:20.03
And so, hypoxia.
00:13:20.06\00:13:21.80
Which is one of
the key findings.
00:13:22.23\00:13:24.63
And interestingly, one of
the things that the ICU doctors
00:13:25.37\00:13:29.90
tell us about what's going on
in these ventilator patients is
00:13:29.94\00:13:34.24
they're different than
typical pneumonia patients
00:13:34.94\00:13:38.81
and how they
respond on the ventilator.
00:13:38.85\00:13:40.85
Pneumonia patients, as
your lungs fill up with
00:13:41.38\00:13:43.59
pneumonia fluid, the
ventilator has got to work
00:13:43.62\00:13:46.19
harder and harder to
try to force more air
00:13:46.22\00:13:49.22
into those fluid-filled lungs.
00:13:49.26\00:13:51.43
We call it, lung compliance.
00:13:51.66\00:13:53.40
We've got to work
harder and harder,
00:13:53.43\00:13:55.33
the lung just
doesn't freely expand,
00:13:55.36\00:13:57.53
and we can't just
move it with the air.
00:13:57.57\00:14:00.00
What they're finding
with this coronavirus
00:14:00.54\00:14:02.67
is many of them have
real good lung compliance.
00:14:02.70\00:14:05.14
In other words, it's
like very low pressures
00:14:05.24\00:14:07.88
and the lungs
ventilate just fine.
00:14:08.08\00:14:09.84
We're moving air really good.
00:14:09.88\00:14:11.61
The problem
isn't with moving air.
00:14:12.31\00:14:16.48
The problem is the blood flow.
00:14:16.52\00:14:20.99
The clots.
00:14:21.36\00:14:22.69
The emboli from
this clotting mechanism
00:14:22.72\00:14:25.83
where the blood is
clotting where it shouldn't
00:14:25.86\00:14:28.06
and when it shouldn't in there.
00:14:28.10\00:14:29.73
And as we clot up those spots,
the more and more you clot up,
00:14:29.93\00:14:33.97
the more
hypoxic you will become.
00:14:34.07\00:14:36.34
And in spite of
all the ventilation,
00:14:36.57\00:14:38.51
you're not going to survive.
00:14:38.54\00:14:40.28
I saw one statistic
that said those that ended up
00:14:40.48\00:14:44.01
on a ventilator, 88%
of them did not survive.
00:14:44.05\00:14:49.22
~ Wow! ~ Wow.
00:14:49.25\00:14:50.59
That was at one hospital, I
forget now which one that was.
00:14:51.55\00:14:53.96
But, you know, that
type of numbers, you realize
00:14:53.99\00:14:56.39
something really
bad is going on there.
00:14:56.59\00:14:58.63
And it's appearing that it
is in the blood vessel walls.
00:14:59.06\00:15:03.83
Now if you put that together
with what we mentioned earlier
00:15:04.70\00:15:08.00
about pre-existing
conditions, you know;
00:15:08.04\00:15:11.57
obesity,
diabetes, heart disease,
00:15:12.31\00:15:16.31
high blood
pressure, all of these typical
00:15:16.34\00:15:18.81
we would call them
western lifestyle diseases
00:15:19.18\00:15:23.35
that comes from eating
like we eat here in America.
00:15:23.39\00:15:26.42
One thing all of these have
in common is that these disease
00:15:28.52\00:15:32.63
processes affect
blood vessel walls.
00:15:32.66\00:15:36.36
The wall of our artery has
a very special little layer
00:15:36.56\00:15:41.94
on their called glycocalyx
that protects the surface of it.
00:15:41.97\00:15:45.71
And this glycocalyx
has in it special things
00:15:46.21\00:15:51.41
that prevent blood clotting.
00:15:51.45\00:15:53.21
Because ideally, we want
the blood to flow really nice
00:15:54.12\00:15:57.19
through our arteries and
we don't want it to clot.
00:15:57.22\00:15:59.45
And so, all these things are
built-in there to help prevent
00:15:59.95\00:16:03.02
clots forming when
they shouldn't, so we can
00:16:03.06\00:16:05.13
keep the blood flowing
really good through there.
00:16:05.16\00:16:07.76
But one thing these
diseases have in common
00:16:08.43\00:16:11.03
is they break
down that glycocalyx.
00:16:11.23\00:16:13.70
We spent a whole hour
on that in one of those
00:16:13.94\00:16:16.27
other lectures, you know.
00:16:16.30\00:16:18.37
The glycocalyx will
break down like in diabetes
00:16:18.47\00:16:24.05
because the sugar will
break down that glycocalyx.
00:16:24.08\00:16:26.82
And as we break that
down, now it's very easy
00:16:27.08\00:16:30.29
to form a blood clot on there.
00:16:30.32\00:16:32.15
Because all of these things
that would have protected it
00:16:32.19\00:16:34.42
and prevented it are
stripped away and they're gone.
00:16:34.46\00:16:37.46
Arteriosclerosis that
causes high blood pressure
00:16:38.23\00:16:41.73
and that causes, you know,
the heart attacks and things
00:16:41.76\00:16:46.03
where we build up
these cholesterol plaques,
00:16:46.07\00:16:48.54
you break down the glycocalyx
and it allows these to form.
00:16:48.64\00:16:52.37
And so, if we're developing
those, then we've probably
00:16:52.91\00:16:55.81
got a bad glycocalyx and
we're probably set up for that.
00:16:55.84\00:16:59.88
And the glycocalyx also
helps, it actually becomes...
00:17:00.28\00:17:05.85
It's like a little, with each
pulse of blood, this glycocalyx
00:17:05.95\00:17:09.39
sort of moves, sort of almost
like seaweed with the surf
00:17:09.42\00:17:13.66
as it goes back
and forth in the waves.
00:17:13.70\00:17:15.76
With each pulse of
blood, as that moves,
00:17:15.80\00:17:18.30
the base of the
glycocalyx is actually hooked up
00:17:18.53\00:17:21.30
to the enzymes
that make nitric oxide.
00:17:21.50\00:17:25.64
Now nitric oxide is real
important to be made there
00:17:26.37\00:17:29.58
because nitric oxide's
job is to relax artery walls.
00:17:29.61\00:17:35.08
It's sort of the counterbalance
to adrenaline which comes
00:17:35.28\00:17:38.05
through the nerves
which says constrict.
00:17:38.09\00:17:40.16
Because we're always
constricting or relaxing
00:17:40.19\00:17:42.46
to control the blood
flow through our body.
00:17:42.49\00:17:44.66
And so, it's the
adrenaline that's coming through
00:17:44.96\00:17:48.66
or circulating
from stress in our body
00:17:48.86\00:17:51.07
that causes constriction.
00:17:51.10\00:17:53.00
But then we balance
that, as you let up on that,
00:17:53.74\00:17:56.67
and the nitric oxide
will relax it back up.
00:17:56.71\00:17:59.44
But now we strip the glycocalyx
off and we can't do that,
00:17:59.47\00:18:02.31
and it's a major contributor
to high blood pressure.
00:18:02.61\00:18:05.25
Again, all of these
different metabolic diseases
00:18:05.45\00:18:08.45
seem to affect the artery
walls that we've got in common,
00:18:08.48\00:18:11.29
that we are destroying some
real protective mechanism there.
00:18:11.72\00:18:16.86
So we've got that, and
now we add a COVID virus
00:18:17.33\00:18:21.43
that in some way
attacks that artery wall.
00:18:21.46\00:18:24.70
We're wide open to that attack
and we're not going to be safe
00:18:25.33\00:18:28.64
from it, and we're, you
know, likely to go on with
00:18:28.67\00:18:33.61
more serious complications.
00:18:33.64\00:18:35.81
I mean, why is it that age
seems to be one of the factors?
00:18:35.84\00:18:40.62
Because in America
as people get older,
00:18:40.82\00:18:42.92
they get worse
and worse arteries.
00:18:42.95\00:18:44.82
It's pretty much almost
universal in the United States.
00:18:45.12\00:18:48.19
But, you know, the good
news is that we know how to
00:18:48.96\00:18:53.63
prevent that problem.
00:18:53.93\00:18:55.46
You know, we can
restore that glycocalyx
00:18:57.50\00:19:02.17
with a healthy diet.
00:19:02.94\00:19:04.27
Three things really that we
know destroy the glycocalyx.
00:19:05.81\00:19:09.94
Number one is smoking.
00:19:09.98\00:19:11.31
You know, if you're a
smoker, you've wiped out your
00:19:11.91\00:19:14.25
glycocalyx and
you're at really high risk.
00:19:14.28\00:19:16.32
Sugar and oxidized fat.
00:19:18.69\00:19:22.16
So fried foods, high
sugar foods, and smoking are the
00:19:22.62\00:19:27.66
really big things
that wipe that out.
00:19:27.70\00:19:31.20
But if you look at everything we
know about high blood pressure,
00:19:31.53\00:19:35.74
about heart disease,
about type two diabetes,
00:19:35.77\00:19:39.34
you know, we're talking
about simple lifestyle things.
00:19:39.74\00:19:44.38
The same things
we always talk about:
00:19:44.41\00:19:46.45
a whole plant food diet,
not eating a lot of sugar,
00:19:46.65\00:19:52.09
or fat, or all of this stuff;
00:19:52.29\00:19:54.92
and then you have a
healthy body, a healthy thing,
00:19:54.96\00:19:58.19
and you'll be set up
to be protected from this.
00:19:58.23\00:20:01.76
And you know, God has given us
the health message for a reason.
00:20:01.80\00:20:06.60
You know, He's promised to
protect us from these plagues.
00:20:09.17\00:20:12.17
But that protection comes
in the context of obedience
00:20:12.21\00:20:15.94
to His Word.
00:20:15.98\00:20:17.35
And in His Word, He told
us all of these various things
00:20:17.61\00:20:21.42
that make for good health.
00:20:21.45\00:20:23.59
And the most simple one
is come back and eat fruits
00:20:24.05\00:20:27.59
and vegetables,
and all of that stuff.
00:20:27.62\00:20:29.99
And we'll be protected
from those things in that way.
00:20:30.03\00:20:34.83
It looks as though we want
to just find a pill or something
00:20:35.93\00:20:40.50
that will allow us to
continue our lifestyle,
00:20:40.84\00:20:43.34
yet fight for us so
we don't have to fight,
00:20:43.44\00:20:46.64
and rid us of this
plague, but we can go on
00:20:46.68\00:20:49.94
killing ourselves basically
with our knife and fork.
00:20:50.28\00:20:52.71
~ Yeah. I mean, if you
just listen to the news.
00:20:52.75\00:20:54.62
Everybody wants a pill
and a test for the COVID.
00:20:54.65\00:20:58.95
They want the test to know
one thing, and they want the,
00:20:58.99\00:21:02.12
you know, various pill
or a vaccine to prevent it
00:21:02.26\00:21:05.69
and save us from it.
00:21:05.73\00:21:07.23
I think, you know,
we're not going to get there
00:21:08.60\00:21:12.47
with a vaccine as
much as we had hoped.
00:21:12.50\00:21:15.04
There's new strains out there.
00:21:15.34\00:21:17.17
And as there's multiple strains,
well now, how do you get
00:21:17.21\00:21:20.94
one vaccine to work
for all the various strains
00:21:20.98\00:21:24.65
as this starts to, you
know, divide up into various
00:21:24.68\00:21:28.52
different strains going around?
00:21:28.55\00:21:30.22
So I think we're going to find
a lot less protection out there.
00:21:30.25\00:21:34.62
One of the things, you
know, every week you come,
00:21:35.06\00:21:37.19
you bring us new information.
00:21:37.23\00:21:39.23
And you know, we're learning,
we're learning, we're learning.
00:21:39.59\00:21:43.33
I think one of the things
that we can safely say is,
00:21:43.67\00:21:45.80
if you have a weakness, if
you look at this as a battle
00:21:45.83\00:21:48.30
between two armies, this
virus is very opportunistic.
00:21:48.34\00:21:52.37
And if you have left a
door open, or a gate open,
00:21:52.41\00:21:55.68
or something ajar,
it's going to find that
00:21:55.71\00:21:58.58
and then make its
entrance through that.
00:21:58.78\00:22:00.72
And of course, if
your lifestyle is such that
00:22:00.75\00:22:02.78
it's tearing holes in
your armor, as it were,
00:22:02.82\00:22:06.39
it's going to find that weakness
and exploit that weakness.
00:22:06.42\00:22:09.39
It seems like it's
very, very opportunistic.
00:22:09.42\00:22:11.63
And whatever you've got
that's pulling you down,
00:22:11.73\00:22:14.23
it's going to find it
and make opportunity from it.
00:22:14.26\00:22:17.30
Yeah, I think that's
exactly what we're seeing.
00:22:17.33\00:22:19.57
I mean, if you
look at who gets sick,
00:22:19.60\00:22:21.40
it's those which we know have
lots of holes in their armor
00:22:21.84\00:22:25.07
from the various other
disease processes out there.
00:22:26.04\00:22:29.51
Another thing that's been
in the news a lot this week
00:22:31.41\00:22:33.88
is the serology testing.
00:22:33.92\00:22:36.79
This testing for antibodies.
00:22:38.79\00:22:41.06
And, well, if we get
antibodies, then we'll know
00:22:43.02\00:22:48.90
who's already safe
because they've got
00:22:49.43\00:22:52.10
the safe antibodies there.
00:22:52.13\00:22:53.87
And if we could just do it...
00:22:54.84\00:22:57.04
The CDC and everything is coming
out, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:22:57.61\00:23:00.98
Yeah, we've got all these tests
to tell if you've got antibodies
00:23:01.01\00:23:03.85
but we don't know
if that's going to
00:23:03.88\00:23:05.21
give you immunity or not.
00:23:05.25\00:23:06.58
So we don't know if
you can use that test."
00:23:06.61\00:23:07.95
So they're not letting
anybody use that test yet.
00:23:07.98\00:23:09.95
They're doing it for
some population studies,
00:23:09.98\00:23:12.39
but they're not really
letting the test out there.
00:23:12.42\00:23:14.52
Eventually it's going to
get out in some form or way.
00:23:14.56\00:23:16.99
But the interesting thing
is, this same test they said,
00:23:18.33\00:23:22.83
"Well, we can't really
tell, you know, who's safe
00:23:22.86\00:23:29.10
or who's not by this test.
00:23:29.14\00:23:30.81
And we probably won't
ever be able to tell."
00:23:31.07\00:23:33.21
Yeah, it was in the same little
speech there that they said
00:23:33.68\00:23:38.51
we're going to have
to wait to get a vaccine.
00:23:38.98\00:23:40.98
But now, if they're
saying that being exposed
00:23:42.28\00:23:45.95
to and being
infected with the coronavirus
00:23:45.99\00:23:48.56
doesn't give you
adequate immunity,
00:23:48.59\00:23:51.33
which is usually the
normal thing, we've already got,
00:23:51.53\00:23:54.16
so to speak, the best vaccine,
00:23:54.26\00:23:55.80
you've got the
whole live virus vaccine,
00:23:55.83\00:23:59.10
"Oh, but we can't
tell, you know, we don't know
00:24:00.80\00:24:02.87
if you're safe after
that," how are they going to
00:24:02.90\00:24:05.27
come up with a vaccine
which is going to be based on
00:24:05.31\00:24:07.58
pieces and parts of the
virus there down the road,
00:24:07.61\00:24:10.41
and you know,
injected with other things
00:24:10.45\00:24:12.71
that flare-up the
immune system to protect you?
00:24:12.75\00:24:16.45
So they're really saying
two different things right here.
00:24:16.48\00:24:19.72
You know, in the
news today, a lot of times
00:24:20.42\00:24:23.16
the truth behind what it
is, or what is the other agenda,
00:24:23.63\00:24:27.46
what's the other motivation,
what's the other, you know?
00:24:27.50\00:24:30.27
We see tremendous pressure
towards, "Vaccine, vaccine.
00:24:30.73\00:24:34.80
Get these vaccines.
We're going to do this."
00:24:34.84\00:24:37.44
I'm not sure those are
always in the best interest.
00:24:37.57\00:24:41.28
I'm not anti-vaccines.
00:24:41.64\00:24:43.45
We've eliminated small pox
from the world with a vaccine.
00:24:43.48\00:24:47.48
We've really almost
completely eliminated polio.
00:24:47.75\00:24:51.22
Although, we're getting
some flare-ups now in places
00:24:51.45\00:24:54.02
with some actually vaccine
related things with polio.
00:24:54.06\00:24:57.26
We've really
reduced, you know...
00:24:57.46\00:24:59.73
It used to be, you know,
people were afraid to go out
00:24:59.76\00:25:03.80
and let their kids go
out to the swimming pool
00:25:03.83\00:25:05.60
because so many kids
would get paralyzed from
00:25:05.63\00:25:07.70
picking up the polio virus.
00:25:07.74\00:25:09.34
We don't see that anymore.
Nobody even thinks about it.
00:25:09.67\00:25:11.57
It's sort of passed from
our consciousness because
00:25:11.61\00:25:14.54
polio has been eliminated
with the polio vaccine
00:25:14.58\00:25:17.78
here at least in
the United States
00:25:18.08\00:25:20.02
and through most of the world.
00:25:20.05\00:25:21.88
So I'm not sure what the future
is going to show on this one.
00:25:22.25\00:25:26.69
We're all learning
and discovering where this
00:25:26.72\00:25:29.22
coronavirus is going.
00:25:29.26\00:25:30.89
But with time, and
being more skeptical about,
00:25:31.36\00:25:35.26
you know, coming up with an
ideal vaccine solution here.
00:25:35.66\00:25:40.64
Well, as they say, an
announce of prevention is better
00:25:40.74\00:25:45.17
than a pound of cure.
00:25:45.41\00:25:46.98
Yeah, interestingly they
came out with a test last week
00:25:47.28\00:25:51.75
where they had randomly
tested a whole bunch of people
00:25:51.95\00:25:54.92
in New York City.
00:25:54.95\00:25:56.45
21% of New York City tested
positive in that sample there.
00:25:56.92\00:26:02.32
~ That's amazing.
00:26:02.36\00:26:04.16
Now if you think about that,
you know, that's way, way...
00:26:04.36\00:26:08.33
I mean, if you extrapolate
that over the city population,
00:26:08.43\00:26:11.43
I think it was, I
think they said 1.7 million.
00:26:11.53\00:26:14.97
Well, 1.7 million is
way, way more than anybody...
00:26:15.50\00:26:19.97
In other words, most of
those would had to have had
00:26:20.01\00:26:22.98
asymptomatic or very
minor symptomatology.
00:26:23.21\00:26:26.72
In other words, basically
a young healthy human body,
00:26:26.75\00:26:31.42
even a middle aged
healthy human body,
00:26:31.45\00:26:33.69
it's been pretty well
geared up to fight this
00:26:34.26\00:26:38.89
and prevent it
from being bad to you.
00:26:38.93\00:26:40.96
You know, it's really...
00:26:41.70\00:26:43.26
You know, God
really designed our bodies
00:26:43.47\00:26:46.17
to make it through
the history of this world.
00:26:46.20\00:26:49.20
And I think that's one of the
reasons we know He's coming soon
00:26:49.90\00:26:53.78
is because we're
pushing the limits of
00:26:53.81\00:26:56.48
what the human body can survive.
00:26:56.51\00:26:58.38
Well, time has flown by.
00:26:58.85\00:27:01.32
- Yeah, yeah. - Amazing.
00:27:01.62\00:27:03.08
I want to encourage
you to stay healthy,
00:27:03.49\00:27:07.36
practice the social distancing,
practice wearing your mask,
00:27:07.79\00:27:12.19
stay tuned to the
Coronavirus Reports,
00:27:13.16\00:27:15.06
and stay healthy.
00:27:15.10\00:27:16.43
Encourage one
another, speak positive.
00:27:16.46\00:27:18.27
Let's help each other.
00:27:18.47\00:27:19.80
It is true, we're
all in this together.
00:27:19.83\00:27:21.84
We will see you next week.
00:27:21.94\00:27:23.37
We'll be here, you be
here, on Coronavirus Report.
00:27:23.41\00:27:27.61
