Hello, and welcome
to Coronavirus Report.
00:00:14.61\00:00:17.11
I'm here with
Pastor Stephen Bohr,
00:00:17.41\00:00:19.51
president and
speaker for Secrets Unsealed.
00:00:19.71\00:00:22.52
I'm C. A. Murray.
00:00:22.62\00:00:23.95
And our resource
person is our board chair
00:00:23.99\00:00:27.26
and the chief medical
officer for Kings County,
00:00:27.29\00:00:30.19
Dr. Milton Teske.
00:00:30.29\00:00:31.63
Doctor, good to have you here.
00:00:31.66\00:00:32.99
Pastor, good to have you here.
00:00:33.23\00:00:34.76
This program has been eagerly
watched by so many people.
00:00:35.76\00:00:39.73
And Pastor, I know you
have actually a communication
00:00:39.87\00:00:43.54
by email or message
that was sent to you
00:00:43.57\00:00:46.11
that we're going to ask
you to read at this time.
00:00:46.21\00:00:48.38
It kind of speaks of the
value that this program is
00:00:48.41\00:00:51.78
to our viewing public.
00:00:51.98\00:00:53.58
Yeah, this message
is from a good friend.
00:00:53.62\00:00:56.72
He's a physician who
works in the Houston area.
00:00:56.75\00:01:00.62
And he sent me this email.
00:01:01.26\00:01:03.09
We're on a first name basis
because I've known him since
00:01:03.12\00:01:05.56
I worked in New Jersey
three or four decades ago.
00:01:05.79\00:01:09.10
So this is what he wrote:
00:01:09.46\00:01:11.00
"I hope and your family
are doing well in the midst of
00:01:11.03\00:01:14.30
these difficult times.
00:01:14.34\00:01:15.87
I want to congratulate
SUMtv for the outstanding
00:01:16.10\00:01:20.41
television programming.
00:01:20.44\00:01:21.84
I just watched the Coronavirus
Update with Dr. Milton Teske.
00:01:22.08\00:01:25.95
It was an accurate summary
of our current understanding
00:01:26.38\00:01:30.99
how the COVID-19
works systemically
00:01:31.09\00:01:34.79
damaging the
vascular endothelium.
00:01:34.82\00:01:37.29
I encourage SUM to
broadcast it more frequently,
00:01:37.76\00:01:41.73
and also to translate
it to other languages.
00:01:41.83\00:01:44.53
It may help medical personnel
involved in the treatment of
00:01:44.87\00:01:48.47
these patients to better
understand the pathophysiology
00:01:48.50\00:01:52.87
of this highly
contagious and deadly disease
00:01:53.21\00:01:55.98
and provide better medical care.
00:01:56.21\00:01:58.48
Blessings."
00:01:58.51\00:01:59.85
So this is a
physician, a colleague of yours,
00:01:59.88\00:02:04.09
who has appreciated the
comments that you've made.
00:02:04.29\00:02:07.19
He's a very well known
and prominent physician.
00:02:07.59\00:02:10.96
And so, thank you so much
00:02:11.26\00:02:13.33
for being willing
to do this every week.
00:02:13.36\00:02:15.13
You know, the more we
understand about any aspect
00:02:15.16\00:02:18.70
of physiology or
medicine or science,
00:02:18.73\00:02:22.24
the better we are
prepared to relate to it
00:02:22.74\00:02:25.47
rationally and appropriately.
00:02:25.51\00:02:27.61
You know, God, in His great
wisdom understands everything
00:02:28.14\00:02:31.68
and always knows what to do.
00:02:31.71\00:02:33.48
But God shares wisdom with us.
00:02:33.78\00:02:36.28
And through science we
can begin to understand
00:02:36.32\00:02:40.46
some of these things
and understand how to best
00:02:40.49\00:02:44.69
relate to them, what we
can do to cooperate with God
00:02:44.73\00:02:48.70
in healing and
surviving the evils that
00:02:48.73\00:02:52.83
have been brought on this world.
00:02:53.44\00:02:54.90
You know, it kind of reminds
me, Ellen White wrote that
00:02:54.94\00:02:58.87
the first thing that
students should learn in school
00:02:58.91\00:03:01.41
is the laws of physiology.
00:03:01.78\00:03:03.45
How the body
functions, in other words.
00:03:04.11\00:03:06.21
The different
systems, the different organs;
00:03:06.25\00:03:08.52
how they function
and how to care for them.
00:03:08.55\00:03:10.95
Yeah, the more you understand,
the more logical and sense
00:03:10.99\00:03:15.69
it makes to do the right
thing in regards to health.
00:03:15.72\00:03:19.66
If we actually thought
about what was happening
00:03:19.69\00:03:22.16
to our arteries, we
would eat very differently.
00:03:22.20\00:03:25.43
Yep, that's for sure.
And drink differently too.
00:03:26.07\00:03:29.00
Good doctor, I have been
on the phone this morning with
00:03:30.81\00:03:33.71
a pastor friend of
mine in New York City.
00:03:33.74\00:03:36.28
He's right there in Long Island.
00:03:36.31\00:03:37.65
And he's been
watching the program,
00:03:38.81\00:03:41.65
along with others
in New York state.
00:03:42.38\00:03:45.09
One of the gifts you have,
and we'll give you applause
00:03:45.55\00:03:48.06
while we can still smell them,
is that you have the ability
00:03:48.09\00:03:51.26
to make what can be
fairly complex, simple.
00:03:51.36\00:03:56.26
Everybody doesn't
have that ability.
00:03:56.30\00:03:57.73
But when you're
finished discussing a subject,
00:03:57.77\00:04:01.77
you paint word
pictures, first of all.
00:04:01.80\00:04:04.64
And secondly, you walk us
through this kind of thing
00:04:04.67\00:04:08.38
non-dramatic, you don't
put out any unnecessary fear.
00:04:09.94\00:04:14.38
You kind of tell it
like it is, and simplify it.
00:04:14.42\00:04:16.92
And really, that's what we kind
of need at this point in time.
00:04:17.02\00:04:19.79
We don't need to make it
any more complex than it is.
00:04:19.99\00:04:22.42
- It needs to be
simplified... ~ Or sensational.
00:04:22.52\00:04:23.86
Or sensational. Well said.
00:04:23.89\00:04:25.33
...so that we can understand
what we're dealing with
00:04:25.36\00:04:27.43
in a kind of
reasonable, rational manner
00:04:27.46\00:04:30.10
without excess and
undue hubris or hyperbole.
00:04:30.13\00:04:34.37
So we want to
thank you for that.
00:04:34.57\00:04:35.90
God has given you that
gift, and we thank you for that.
00:04:35.94\00:04:38.64
So what's been
happening in the Valley?
00:04:38.67\00:04:40.58
Can we have a little
report on what's happening
00:04:40.78\00:04:42.44
in the Central Valley?
00:04:42.48\00:04:43.81
Yeah, here in the
Central Valley things have
00:04:43.85\00:04:46.68
pretty much been going along.
00:04:46.72\00:04:48.22
We continue to rack up
more cases as we do more testing
00:04:48.25\00:04:51.75
and we find
more positive people.
00:04:51.79\00:04:53.86
The health care system
has not been overwhelmed,
00:04:55.22\00:04:57.93
which is good.
00:04:57.96\00:04:59.29
We've had several major
outbreaks in meat packing plants
00:04:59.46\00:05:04.63
and food processing plants.
00:05:04.67\00:05:08.07
Again, the reason, if
you just think about it,
00:05:08.44\00:05:10.91
if you understand a little
bit about how those businesses
00:05:10.94\00:05:13.07
work, they have a lot of
people working side by side
00:05:13.11\00:05:15.78
on assembly lines chopping
the meat and packing the
00:05:15.81\00:05:19.75
fruits and vegetables,
whatever they're processing.
00:05:19.95\00:05:23.22
They just have a lot of
people all together in one place
00:05:23.25\00:05:26.05
working closely together.
00:05:26.09\00:05:27.56
And so it's an environment
where it's easy to spread.
00:05:27.89\00:05:31.56
You remember the cruise
ship, I mean, was our first big
00:05:31.93\00:05:35.03
introduction to this
phenomena with this virus.
00:05:35.06\00:05:37.77
And you realize that you put
a whole bunch of people together
00:05:37.80\00:05:40.50
in a space, the
virus is very contagious.
00:05:40.54\00:05:44.54
It's going to spread easily.
00:05:44.91\00:05:46.51
The good news is that in
spite of these outbreaks,
00:05:47.04\00:05:51.11
we haven't ended up with
a situation like New Orleans
00:05:51.48\00:05:55.12
or New York where the
health care system has been
00:05:55.15\00:05:57.99
pushed to the max and
overflowing, and there's not
00:05:58.02\00:06:00.86
ICU beds and ventilators, and
you know, the dead bodies are
00:06:00.89\00:06:05.06
piling up in trucks and vans.
00:06:05.09\00:06:07.06
That hasn't
happened here in the Valley.
00:06:07.50\00:06:09.16
We seem to be
spared from that so far.
00:06:09.20\00:06:13.03
And hopefully
we'll continue to be.
00:06:13.07\00:06:15.60
It could be that we're
just later in some ways,
00:06:16.10\00:06:19.24
Because, well, it'll come
here later, but it also can be
00:06:19.54\00:06:23.88
a difference in just
the spread of the city,
00:06:24.88\00:06:28.05
the sooner that we put in
some of the protective measures.
00:06:28.08\00:06:33.36
The non-pharmacological
measures they refer to
00:06:33.39\00:06:37.23
where we stay at
home, we social distance,
00:06:37.49\00:06:41.46
and those types of things.
00:06:41.50\00:06:42.83
And so, it may be
that some of that stuff
00:06:43.03\00:06:45.13
is contributing to that.
00:06:45.17\00:06:47.24
So have some of these areas
like New York, New Orleans,
00:06:47.57\00:06:51.04
Detroit, and so on,
have they actually reached
00:06:51.17\00:06:55.44
the top of the curve and they
are flattening the curve now?
00:06:55.48\00:06:58.11
It seems to be that's the case.
00:06:58.15\00:06:59.78
Because they are getting...
00:06:59.81\00:07:02.15
While they're still
having new cases and lots of
00:07:02.85\00:07:04.79
hospitalizations, you know,
the number per day is like,
00:07:04.82\00:07:08.36
they were getting
this many per day,
00:07:08.39\00:07:10.13
now they're only
getting this many new per day.
00:07:10.16\00:07:11.79
So it seems to be tapering
down in some of those areas.
00:07:11.83\00:07:15.96
L.A. still seems to have a
lot of cases, the Bay Area.
00:07:17.40\00:07:20.70
But again, you'll notice it goes
with the large urban centers.
00:07:21.17\00:07:26.74
They tend to have trouble.
00:07:26.78\00:07:28.34
Probably the major factor
is population density there.
00:07:28.68\00:07:32.31
You know, there are some
that are concerned that the
00:07:33.38\00:07:35.68
5G they are
installing in the large cities
00:07:35.72\00:07:40.42
and have in these
cities is actually radiating
00:07:40.46\00:07:45.29
and contributing
to the thing there.
00:07:45.33\00:07:48.53
Really we don't
know that for sure,
00:07:49.46\00:07:51.97
but it's
something to be considered.
00:07:52.00\00:07:53.50
You know, there's a lot
of things in a big city,
00:07:53.54\00:07:55.80
but the simplest thing,
if you want to look at it,
00:07:55.84\00:07:58.11
is just population density.
00:07:58.14\00:07:59.61
You have all these people
crowded and living and working
00:07:59.64\00:08:02.31
and interacting, you know,
in a very dense environment.
00:08:02.34\00:08:07.35
It makes for the
spread of the disease there.
00:08:07.92\00:08:10.75
So do you think the masks and,
you know, the social distancing,
00:08:10.79\00:08:15.92
as well as maybe herd immunity
00:08:16.02\00:08:18.99
has a lot to do
with the decrease?
00:08:19.33\00:08:21.53
Yeah, we probably
don't have herd immunity yet,
00:08:22.00\00:08:25.23
but we may be
moving in that direction.
00:08:25.83\00:08:28.07
The epidemiologists
tell us it takes around 70%
00:08:28.64\00:08:32.87
of the population to sort of...
00:08:33.21\00:08:35.51
Once about 70% has been
infected and is now immune,
00:08:35.84\00:08:39.41
then you're probably
considered pretty good for that.
00:08:39.78\00:08:43.59
One study they did in New
York, they just did a screening,
00:08:45.12\00:08:48.06
I think we
mentioned that last time,
00:08:48.09\00:08:49.42
just went to a super market and
tested, several super markets,
00:08:49.46\00:08:52.59
and they tested, you
know, over a thousand people.
00:08:52.63\00:08:57.43
21% of them were positive.
00:08:57.57\00:08:59.67
So it would suggest
that in New York City,
00:09:00.24\00:09:03.81
if you want to call it, the herd
immunity is over 20% at least.
00:09:04.17\00:09:08.04
And that will
continue to increase and spread
00:09:09.98\00:09:13.01
as time passes.
00:09:13.05\00:09:14.52
And if it can pass without
us overwhelming the health care
00:09:14.55\00:09:18.02
system, well then
it's probably a good thing.
00:09:18.05\00:09:20.72
~ You know, I'm thinking of,
because you're talking about it,
00:09:22.86\00:09:25.93
when you've got a dense
population crammed into a fairly
00:09:26.29\00:09:29.86
small area, it's reasonable
to expect you're going to
00:09:29.90\00:09:33.10
have an outbreak there.
00:09:33.13\00:09:34.47
Are we still looking for...
00:09:34.60\00:09:36.37
One of the epicenters
has been nursing homes
00:09:36.57\00:09:38.61
where you have a lot of people
crowded together who are old.
00:09:38.64\00:09:40.94
And prisons.
00:09:42.01\00:09:43.35
Have we monitored
that comprehensively?
00:09:44.18\00:09:47.72
Are we still expecting a
large outbreak of the virus
00:09:47.82\00:09:51.25
in prison situations?
00:09:51.29\00:09:52.79
And in situations where
it may be latent right now,
00:09:52.92\00:09:54.96
but it's coming
because you've got all these
00:09:54.99\00:09:56.76
guys or gals crammed
together and there's no way
00:09:56.86\00:09:59.96
to separate them and to
get the kind of distance
00:10:00.00\00:10:02.26
you would need to
help yourself out there?
00:10:02.30\00:10:04.27
Yeah, if you were in on
the public health officers
00:10:04.30\00:10:08.20
as we meet together and call and
talk about these various issues,
00:10:08.24\00:10:11.81
you would realize those
are at the very top of the list
00:10:11.84\00:10:15.14
of concerns right now.
00:10:15.18\00:10:16.75
Because you not only have
the density of people crammed
00:10:17.11\00:10:19.91
together in the
case of the nursing homes
00:10:19.95\00:10:22.32
and assisted living places,
the people that are crammed
00:10:22.35\00:10:26.42
close together are,
you know, senior citizens.
00:10:26.45\00:10:30.03
Most of them with
multiple diseases,
00:10:30.06\00:10:32.43
on multiple medications.
00:10:32.46\00:10:34.20
Highly vulnerable.
00:10:34.23\00:10:35.56
The ones that are likely to
have very serious complications
00:10:35.60\00:10:39.60
and possibly fatal
outcomes are there.
00:10:39.63\00:10:42.10
So yeah, it's a very
concerning situation.
00:10:42.14\00:10:44.84
And our efforts really
go way over the edge there,
00:10:44.87\00:10:49.44
doing everything we
possibly can to protect
00:10:49.48\00:10:51.85
those type of situations.
00:10:51.88\00:10:53.58
I can tell you there,
the ones in our county,
00:10:54.32\00:10:56.58
I mean, they not only
don't allow visitors in,
00:10:56.62\00:11:00.62
the staff all have to mask up.
00:11:00.66\00:11:02.66
We go in and test the staff.
00:11:02.69\00:11:04.46
We really are doing everything
we can to try to prevent that.
00:11:05.23\00:11:09.23
At the jail, the
same type of thing.
00:11:09.73\00:11:12.03
We want to protect
that close together.
00:11:12.50\00:11:15.64
Because if we get one case,
it's going to spread through,
00:11:15.67\00:11:18.37
you know, all of the
other close cases there.
00:11:18.84\00:11:21.34
Most of our jails do
not have private rooms.
00:11:21.38\00:11:24.78
You're in more, you
know, dormitory type
00:11:24.88\00:11:28.68
setting right there.
00:11:28.72\00:11:30.05
People are crowded together
and close, you know, contact.
00:11:30.09\00:11:33.59
And it would
spread very rapidly.
00:11:33.62\00:11:35.79
Where it has broken into
prisons and various places...
00:11:35.82\00:11:38.69
There was a number in
China early on where it just
00:11:38.73\00:11:41.56
immediately went through
the entire prison very rapidly.
00:11:41.60\00:11:45.63
I can tell you,
locally our local county jail,
00:11:46.07\00:11:49.20
beyond all of the usual
things that they could do
00:11:49.40\00:11:52.57
like, you know, masking
and things like protecting,
00:11:52.61\00:11:56.91
you know, doing
everything they can
00:11:56.95\00:12:01.88
to clean things, wash things,
have people wash their hands,
00:12:01.92\00:12:05.72
wash things that touch people
and are touched frequently;
00:12:05.75\00:12:07.89
all those internal
things, they have really,
00:12:07.92\00:12:10.49
you know, you realize
that if it breaks out there,
00:12:10.53\00:12:13.16
it came from somewhere.
00:12:13.19\00:12:14.53
And the staff, they're
really careful to try to protect
00:12:15.03\00:12:18.10
so that the staff
do not bring it in.
00:12:18.13\00:12:20.17
I mean, you know, if you have...
00:12:20.20\00:12:22.27
I mean, any
business, if you've got a cough
00:12:22.57\00:12:24.81
or some symptoms,
you're suppose to stay home.
00:12:24.84\00:12:27.08
But they've gone way beyond
that and really, you know,
00:12:27.48\00:12:30.68
stay home, and
you keep staying home.
00:12:30.71\00:12:32.45
And they're really extensively
excluding any possibility
00:12:32.48\00:12:36.95
of staff bringing it in.
00:12:36.99\00:12:38.42
Their vendors that bring
supplies and different things
00:12:38.69\00:12:42.22
and deliver to the
prison, before they can come in
00:12:42.26\00:12:45.93
they make them put on the full
suit, the outfit, everything,
00:12:46.03\00:12:49.53
you know, as if
you were in a hospital
00:12:49.86\00:12:52.17
treating a COVID patient,
to bring in the supplies
00:12:52.20\00:12:55.14
because, you know...
00:12:55.17\00:12:56.71
And they wash down the supplies.
00:12:56.74\00:12:58.21
They really want to
do everything they can
00:12:58.24\00:13:00.31
to protect and keep it
out of those situations.
00:13:00.34\00:13:03.48
~ Check their
temperature too, I'm sure.
00:13:03.51\00:13:05.11
- Oh yeah. - Yeah, yeah.
00:13:05.15\00:13:07.08
Pastor, you fly a lot normally.
00:13:07.48\00:13:09.82
I fly a bit myself.
00:13:10.02\00:13:11.59
American Airlines sent
me something the other day.
00:13:11.69\00:13:14.09
You may have gotten it also.
00:13:14.72\00:13:16.06
Where, as you fly now,
you have to wear a mask.
00:13:16.09\00:13:19.29
The flight personnel
will be wearing masks.
00:13:19.49\00:13:22.73
They're wiping down
everything in the plane.
00:13:23.10\00:13:24.93
They're disinfecting the plane
between flights a lot more.
00:13:24.97\00:13:27.67
So they're really
worried about, doctor, I guess
00:13:27.70\00:13:31.71
all industries, about a
second wave coming through
00:13:31.74\00:13:34.28
that would really be
crippling, wouldn't it?
00:13:34.31\00:13:36.71
~ Yeah.
00:13:37.51\00:13:38.85
And a second wave
here would probably
00:13:38.88\00:13:41.35
not come in by airplane.
00:13:41.95\00:13:44.05
It will come in because
of an increased activity,
00:13:44.52\00:13:50.33
you know, here locally.
00:13:50.36\00:13:52.53
You know, the
influenza virus has a very
00:13:53.53\00:13:56.87
seasonal nature to it.
00:13:56.90\00:13:58.67
Other coronaviruses which
cause common cold type symptoms,
00:13:59.10\00:14:03.30
also have a seasonal thing.
00:14:03.91\00:14:05.41
They tend to...
You know, in the fall.
00:14:05.44\00:14:08.11
Here in the Valley, I've
been in emergency medicine
00:14:08.18\00:14:11.35
in the ER monitoring
what goes on in the community
00:14:11.38\00:14:14.45
for the last 36 years.
00:14:14.68\00:14:16.42
And here in the
Valley, when the fog sets in,
00:14:16.45\00:14:19.42
the flu season comes in.
00:14:19.45\00:14:21.29
When the fog season
stops, you know, the flu season
00:14:21.32\00:14:27.00
fades off and goes away.
00:14:27.03\00:14:28.70
And we don't know
exactly why that is.
00:14:29.06\00:14:32.93
I suspect it may have less
to do with the weather, per se,
00:14:32.97\00:14:38.77
on the virus and more on
the effect of the weather
00:14:38.81\00:14:42.28
on people's behavior.
00:14:42.31\00:14:43.65
Because during those
seasons you move indoors,
00:14:44.15\00:14:49.38
you close the windows,
we don't have fresh air,
00:14:49.42\00:14:53.19
we don't have sunlight.
00:14:53.22\00:14:54.76
You know, two really
valuable healing agents
00:14:55.09\00:14:58.99
that God has put out there
to sterilize and purify and
00:14:59.03\00:15:02.66
clean up the environment for us.
00:15:02.70\00:15:04.67
You know, we
come in these times,
00:15:04.70\00:15:06.13
and then you run the heater
and you have this, you know,
00:15:06.17\00:15:08.80
deionized heated
stuffy air being recycled.
00:15:08.84\00:15:12.44
Everyone is crowding
indoors and not going out
00:15:13.31\00:15:16.54
and getting their exercise.
00:15:16.58\00:15:19.71
So that tends to be, I
think, the issue to much of the
00:15:20.22\00:15:24.99
seasonality of it.
00:15:25.02\00:15:26.35
But these viruses
have a seasonality too.
00:15:26.39\00:15:30.89
And it may be that everybody,
the decline and improvement
00:15:30.93\00:15:34.56
we're seeing across
the nation right now
00:15:34.60\00:15:36.83
could well be
related to the good weather
00:15:37.20\00:15:39.90
we're having here now, you know.
00:15:39.93\00:15:41.34
It's really warmed up,
the fog seems to be gone,
00:15:41.37\00:15:44.24
it's warm and sunny
every day, starting even to get
00:15:44.27\00:15:47.31
a little bit hot
in the afternoons.
00:15:47.34\00:15:49.31
You know, so that may be
having something to do with it.
00:15:50.95\00:15:53.92
Which means, wow, well
what's going to happen next fall
00:15:53.95\00:15:57.79
when the cold
weather starts coming in?
00:15:58.19\00:16:01.32
When the fog
settles in again here
00:16:01.36\00:16:03.32
will we have a resurgence?
00:16:03.36\00:16:05.66
That is a possibility.
00:16:06.70\00:16:08.36
We'll just have to wait and see.
00:16:08.66\00:16:10.03
We don't really
know the answer to it.
00:16:10.07\00:16:11.97
This will be our first
summer cycle for this new virus
00:16:12.00\00:16:16.97
that's been released on us.
00:16:17.01\00:16:18.51
The good pastor has been
wanting us to get into lifestyle
00:16:18.91\00:16:22.71
and the eight laws
of health for weeks.
00:16:23.38\00:16:25.61
And we've always
jumped on something
00:16:25.71\00:16:28.15
and the time goes so quickly.
00:16:28.18\00:16:29.52
I want to ask you one question,
then I want to get to that.
00:16:29.55\00:16:31.92
We're hearing talk about,
is it Remdesivir or Remsedivir?
00:16:32.89\00:16:36.89
- It's Remdesivir. - Remdesivir.
00:16:36.93\00:16:39.49
Give us a little update on that.
00:16:40.80\00:16:42.20
Is it something that
we can look forward to?
00:16:42.23\00:16:44.77
Is it something
that is effective?
00:16:44.80\00:16:46.50
From your
standpoint, what do you see?
00:16:47.14\00:16:48.47
Okay, so Remdesivir
is an antiviral drug.
00:16:48.50\00:16:53.74
It's a medicine which actually
blocks the action of the virus.
00:16:53.84\00:17:02.48
It's an antiviral.
00:17:02.52\00:17:03.85
It works on the RNA in this
case, the RNA of this virus.
00:17:03.89\00:17:08.72
So it's an
anti-RNA virus medication.
00:17:08.76\00:17:12.73
You might think of it
somewhat parallel to a drug
00:17:14.20\00:17:17.37
many of you may be
familiar with called Tamiflu.
00:17:17.40\00:17:20.47
Tamiflu is an antiviral
that's used for the influenza.
00:17:21.30\00:17:25.17
And I would say
it's not a magic cure,
00:17:26.14\00:17:30.68
it's more like it
probably helps a little bit.
00:17:30.95\00:17:33.75
Tamiflu, when you take
it, if you take it early on
00:17:34.68\00:17:41.26
right in the first day or
two, well then you'll have,
00:17:41.29\00:17:45.73
your course of that particular
flu will be a few days shorter.
00:17:45.76\00:17:49.46
Statistically.
00:17:49.73\00:17:51.07
They tested a whole bunch of
people and the ones that took it
00:17:51.10\00:17:53.57
they had a little
bit shorter course of it.
00:17:53.60\00:17:55.10
~ Maybe a
little less severe too?
00:17:55.14\00:17:56.67
Yeah.
00:17:56.71\00:17:58.04
And that's the thinking.
00:17:58.21\00:17:59.54
And certainly, in
someone who is very symptomatic,
00:17:59.57\00:18:03.88
someone that's hospitalized, you
know, where things are getting
00:18:03.98\00:18:08.52
more serious, it's
more or less try everything.
00:18:08.55\00:18:10.29
Yeah, let's give it to them.
00:18:10.32\00:18:11.65
Let's see if we can
get some, you know, benefit
00:18:11.69\00:18:13.42
by blocking
this virus with that.
00:18:13.46\00:18:15.79
But I don't think it's like,
wow, we'll pass this around
00:18:17.49\00:18:23.60
and then the virus will be gone.
00:18:23.63\00:18:25.30
It'll be more like, we
can take it and maybe have a
00:18:25.83\00:18:28.54
little less symptoms.
00:18:28.57\00:18:30.04
~ Does it have any
serious side effects?
00:18:31.61\00:18:33.81
You know, all
drugs have side effects.
00:18:34.34\00:18:37.61
And the side effects, if
you want to think about it in a
00:18:38.71\00:18:44.22
more broader scope, God designed
the body to work a certain way.
00:18:44.32\00:18:49.92
He designed the immune
system to work a certain way.
00:18:49.96\00:18:53.60
And He designed our
immune system to get us through
00:18:53.63\00:18:57.10
life on this earth
clear to the end of time.
00:18:57.13\00:19:01.94
He's planned our
immune systems to protect us.
00:19:01.97\00:19:04.44
He designed them to do that.
00:19:04.47\00:19:06.07
And as a general principle,
the best thing we can do
00:19:06.54\00:19:10.91
is to cooperate with God's plans
00:19:10.95\00:19:13.18
rather than, you
know, interfering with them.
00:19:14.12\00:19:18.89
The more drastically
you interfere with them,
00:19:19.25\00:19:21.96
the more likely there's going to
be side effects, complications,
00:19:22.06\00:19:25.59
this is going to effect this,
this is going to effect this.
00:19:25.63\00:19:28.23
You know, the body
is extremely complex.
00:19:28.60\00:19:31.63
And to think you can
throw a drug in to fix one thing
00:19:32.07\00:19:36.10
is a little bit naive
because everything effects
00:19:36.74\00:19:41.28
everything else in the body.
00:19:41.31\00:19:42.94
And we find that
with most of the drugs
00:19:42.98\00:19:45.95
and medications out there.
00:19:45.98\00:19:47.75
Not saying there
aren't times or places
00:19:49.02\00:19:51.75
where they would be appropriate.
00:19:51.79\00:19:53.12
I certainly wouldn't want to say
"No, don't take this," you know.
00:19:53.15\00:19:56.52
But on the other hand,
really, the less drugs we take,
00:19:56.56\00:20:02.56
the more we use
the natural drugs...
00:20:02.93\00:20:05.77
You know, these things here.
00:20:05.97\00:20:07.54
You know, these are lemons.
00:20:07.84\00:20:10.84
You know, God put a
lot of stuff in here that's
00:20:10.87\00:20:13.81
really good for us, that really
enhances your immune system.
00:20:14.01\00:20:18.25
I mean, just taking some lemon
juice and water every morning
00:20:18.28\00:20:21.92
when you get up does a
lot of things for the body.
00:20:21.95\00:20:24.55
Not just, but one of the things
is it helps your immune system.
00:20:24.59\00:20:27.39
There's a lot of
vitamin C in there.
00:20:27.42\00:20:29.29
There's other
substances in here that help
00:20:29.39\00:20:31.46
the body's immune system.
00:20:31.49\00:20:32.99
And when you start going through
every fruit, and vegetable,
00:20:34.30\00:20:37.57
and seed, you start finding out
that, wow, there's all kinds of
00:20:37.60\00:20:41.44
stuff in here that helps.
00:20:41.47\00:20:42.94
Some of them we're
beginning to understand.
00:20:42.97\00:20:45.37
There's a number of
different substances
00:20:45.57\00:20:47.58
in garlic that are really good.
00:20:47.61\00:20:50.85
And the more we can
use God's natural remedies
00:20:50.98\00:20:55.18
and go down that road, I think
we're going to find will work
00:20:55.22\00:20:59.79
in harmony with the way
God designed our body to work.
00:20:59.89\00:21:04.29
You know, I'm
more of a theologian
00:21:05.26\00:21:07.66
than into medical issues.
00:21:08.06\00:21:12.03
So I have a
theological question.
00:21:12.90\00:21:14.74
Did God create the immune
system before or after sin?
00:21:15.80\00:21:19.57
And if He created it
before sin, why would it be,
00:21:20.08\00:21:23.51
because there were no infections
and diseases before sin?
00:21:23.55\00:21:26.41
Okay, so you ask a
theological question.
00:21:27.02\00:21:29.38
Let me give you a
theological answer.
00:21:29.58\00:21:32.02
When did God create
the plan of salvation?
00:21:34.26\00:21:37.23
Oh, in the days of eternity.
00:21:38.49\00:21:40.13
Okay. I think that's our answer.
00:21:40.16\00:21:42.50
So basically He gave us
an immune system knowing that
00:21:43.33\00:21:46.53
perhaps if we made the
wrong choice we would need it.
00:21:46.57\00:21:49.64
Yeah, and I think to a certain
degree, a properly functioning
00:21:51.51\00:21:58.65
immune system probably
has roles and functions
00:21:58.68\00:22:01.82
in a perfect world.
00:22:01.85\00:22:03.22
And we don't know
what those are because
00:22:05.45\00:22:07.42
we haven't lived
in a perfect world.
00:22:07.46\00:22:09.22
But we know that
microbes have a role.
00:22:09.52\00:22:14.86
We know that, you know, they're
part of your digestive system
00:22:15.16\00:22:18.80
and how everything works there.
00:22:18.83\00:22:20.57
We know that they're essential.
00:22:21.07\00:22:22.84
I mean, vitamin B12, which is
absolutely essential for life,
00:22:22.87\00:22:27.14
is only made by microbes.
00:22:27.18\00:22:30.55
So we know that microbes are
part of eternity's plan for life
00:22:31.15\00:22:36.12
as God designed it.
00:22:36.15\00:22:37.75
And the ability to
respond to them in certain ways,
00:22:38.75\00:22:43.56
respond to other things
that weren't supposed to be
00:22:44.13\00:22:46.49
in the body,
and get rid of them.
00:22:46.53\00:22:48.76
Just repairing damage.
00:22:49.43\00:22:51.47
You know, we talk about
the cell mutates a little bit;
00:22:51.50\00:22:54.00
well that's really sort
of becoming pre-cancerous
00:22:54.04\00:22:56.37
or moving down
the road to cancer.
00:22:56.40\00:22:58.07
The immune system can
identify that and get rid of it.
00:22:58.24\00:23:01.54
Will that happen
in a perfect world?
00:23:01.74\00:23:03.71
Well, maybe. We don't know.
00:23:03.81\00:23:05.35
I mean, there's
ultraviolet light.
00:23:05.38\00:23:07.22
Ultraviolet light can
do those type of things.
00:23:07.42\00:23:09.98
You know, I mean, I
think even in a perfect world
00:23:10.62\00:23:14.32
we'll continue to grow
new skin on a monthly basis.
00:23:14.36\00:23:18.13
You replace your
skin about once a month.
00:23:18.16\00:23:20.43
So I think there's a
lot of things about how God,
00:23:20.46\00:23:24.67
the intricacy's about how
God designed things to work
00:23:24.70\00:23:28.80
that we'll continue
to study and learn about
00:23:29.27\00:23:32.77
throughout eternity.
00:23:32.81\00:23:34.14
And I think we'll be surprised
at some of the intricate,
00:23:34.38\00:23:38.38
delicate balances that
God put in these systems
00:23:38.41\00:23:41.68
to make
everything run just right.
00:23:41.72\00:23:43.52
It would be kind of
difficult to be an evolutionist
00:23:43.72\00:23:46.09
if you really
studied the immune system.
00:23:46.12\00:23:48.02
The immune system
is only one system
00:23:48.12\00:23:50.46
of many that we have.
00:23:50.86\00:23:52.49
And yet, it is so complex.
00:23:53.06\00:23:54.80
And it hasn't even
been totally decoded.
00:23:55.10\00:23:56.87
There's so much more to study.
00:23:56.90\00:23:58.70
We're barely on the edge of
the immune system right now.
00:23:58.73\00:24:01.20
So it speaks of a Creator.
00:24:01.24\00:24:02.57
Yeah, it does.
Almost everything does.
00:24:03.00\00:24:05.64
Well, you think about it,
God put the potential there
00:24:05.67\00:24:09.64
when He put this thing together.
00:24:09.68\00:24:11.48
Once sin came, He didn't have
to go back and re-engineer this
00:24:11.68\00:24:15.52
to take care of a surprise
that He wasn't aware of.
00:24:15.62\00:24:18.39
He knew what was coming.
00:24:18.49\00:24:20.49
And the preventative
aspects that are in here
00:24:20.52\00:24:24.76
were there from the beginning.
00:24:24.79\00:24:26.13
I was not a lemon water drinker.
00:24:26.16\00:24:27.50
My wife got me into that.
00:24:27.53\00:24:28.86
So every morning that's my job.
00:24:28.90\00:24:30.83
I prepare the lemon water
while she's in the shower.
00:24:30.87\00:24:33.00
When she comes
out, "Is it ready?"
00:24:33.03\00:24:34.57
"Yeah, it's ready."
00:24:34.60\00:24:35.94
So yeah, and it works.
00:24:35.97\00:24:37.31
Every morning we
do the lemon water.
00:24:37.34\00:24:39.74
We serve a very faithful
and a very thorough God.
00:24:40.24\00:24:43.58
In Latin America,
lemon cures everything.
00:24:43.61\00:24:45.88
True.
00:24:49.92\00:24:51.25
I thought it was the jalapenos.
00:24:51.29\00:24:53.09
Well, that's only in Mexico.
00:24:55.12\00:24:56.76
Oh, okay.
00:24:56.79\00:24:58.13
Well, that's as
far as everything...
00:24:58.73\00:25:00.46
You know, I'm
looking at our time.
00:25:03.10\00:25:04.73
Touch on something very quickly.
00:25:04.93\00:25:06.94
I just began to hear in
the last couple of weeks,
00:25:07.37\00:25:10.31
COVID toes.
00:25:10.34\00:25:12.07
What is or what are COVID toes?
00:25:12.11\00:25:15.18
Okay, this COVID
virus, you know, we know the
00:25:15.21\00:25:19.28
common respiratory
symptoms of cough, and fever,
00:25:19.31\00:25:22.88
and those type of things,
00:25:22.92\00:25:24.55
but it apparently
can make a viral rash.
00:25:24.72\00:25:27.42
And for some reason, this
rash only appears on the feet
00:25:27.79\00:25:31.56
or lower legs.
00:25:31.59\00:25:32.93
So just the lower
extremities down there,
00:25:32.96\00:25:35.33
particularly the feet and toes.
00:25:35.36\00:25:36.97
It's very similar in
appearance to a chickenpox rash.
00:25:37.23\00:25:40.40
So you can add that to your
list of symptoms to look for.
00:25:40.80\00:25:44.21
You know, along with
loss of smell or taste
00:25:44.77\00:25:47.38
which might be there, there
might or might not be this rash.
00:25:47.41\00:25:51.51
It clears up and goes
away when the infection passes.
00:25:52.38\00:25:56.22
But yeah, it's another
phenomenon they've discovered.
00:25:56.25\00:26:00.09
And it's been identified.
00:26:00.12\00:26:02.66
If you want to see a
picture of it, just Google it.
00:26:02.86\00:26:04.66
You can find it there.
00:26:04.69\00:26:06.59
And yeah, so there is a rash.
00:26:07.16\00:26:09.40
~ You know, today we had lunch.
00:26:09.43\00:26:11.13
And we practice
social distancing here.
00:26:11.17\00:26:13.77
And Pastor Bohr said,
"I can't smell the food."
00:26:13.94\00:26:16.91
We said, "Go home!"
00:26:17.01\00:26:18.37
We told him to go home.
00:26:20.64\00:26:21.98
You should have seen, because
I said it very seriously,
00:26:22.01\00:26:24.68
you should have seen the
faces of everybody at the table
00:26:24.71\00:26:27.35
when I said that.
00:26:27.38\00:26:29.12
They were ready to bail out.
00:26:29.65\00:26:31.32
Well, it's appropriate to
be cautious in these times.
00:26:32.79\00:26:35.92
Because every week there's
some new thing, you know.
00:26:37.43\00:26:39.89
This virus takes so many
forms and expresses itself
00:26:39.93\00:26:43.87
in so many ways, there's
something new almost every week.
00:26:43.90\00:26:46.84
That's why we have to
keep having you back here.
00:26:46.87\00:26:48.84
To sort of keep us
up-to-date with this stuff.
00:26:49.17\00:26:51.17
So, we only have
like 55 seconds left.
00:26:53.74\00:26:57.91
Not much time.
00:26:57.95\00:26:59.31
I just want to take
this opportunity to address
00:26:59.71\00:27:01.98
everybody who is watching.
00:27:02.02\00:27:03.35
We appreciate your
support at Secrets Unsealed.
00:27:03.39\00:27:06.45
First of all, your prayers.
00:27:07.49\00:27:09.16
Crucially important.
00:27:09.19\00:27:10.63
And then we also appreciate
your financial support.
00:27:10.89\00:27:13.33
It's a blessing.
00:27:14.10\00:27:15.43
It helps us continue
preparing programs such as this
00:27:15.46\00:27:18.43
that help the general public.
00:27:18.47\00:27:20.04
So now I'll let
C.A. bring it to a close.
00:27:20.07\00:27:23.34
We want to thank Dr. Teske.
00:27:24.27\00:27:26.41
You know, it's a blessing for
us to have the health officer
00:27:26.44\00:27:29.24
for our county as
chairman of our board;
00:27:29.28\00:27:31.25
a committed
Seventh-day Adventist physician.
00:27:31.28\00:27:33.38
And I don't know if you
can be better than that.
00:27:33.48\00:27:34.88
A committed Christian physician
is the best of both worlds.
00:27:34.92\00:27:38.82
So we thank you
for your support.
00:27:38.85\00:27:40.52
We thank you for watching.
00:27:40.56\00:27:41.89
We invite you to
watch us again each week.
00:27:41.92\00:27:44.46
New things coming each week.
00:27:44.79\00:27:46.26
We have
questions, we have answers.
00:27:46.29\00:27:47.76
And we have our
good doctor to help us
00:27:48.00\00:27:50.03
work his way
through all of this.
00:27:50.07\00:27:51.90
And so, until we see you again,
00:27:51.93\00:27:54.14
we wish you
God's very, very best.
00:27:54.24\00:27:57.94
