Welcome back, we've been
talking with Dr. Neil Nedley
00:00:01.98\00:00:03.61
We told you when we
come back, you'll be
00:00:03.64\00:00:05.91
up-to-date and
hopefully feel great,
00:00:05.94\00:00:07.14
because we're looking
at various studies that...
00:00:07.18\00:00:10.14
you do a lot of
research Dr. Nedley,
00:00:10.17\00:00:12.30
or should I say you,
at least, are familiar
00:00:12.33\00:00:14.56
with the
research that's going on
00:00:14.59\00:00:15.91
You do have some
research you're doing with the
00:00:15.94\00:00:18.89
depression recovery program
and mental peak performance
00:00:18.92\00:00:21.57
Anything else, you're actually,
yourself researching right now?
00:00:21.60\00:00:24.70
Well a lot of it is just
reviewing the medical literature
00:00:24.73\00:00:28.30
and the journals
that cross my desk,
00:00:28.33\00:00:31.09
putting that in a format
where others can utilize it
00:00:31.12\00:00:33.72
and benefit from the many
studies that are being done
00:00:33.75\00:00:36.24
around the world.
00:00:36.27\00:00:39.29
Oh by the way, you can get
on your website... drnedley. com
00:00:39.30\00:00:42.94
and many of the things we
talked about today are there...
00:00:42.97\00:00:45.70
Is that correct? That's right
00:00:45.73\00:00:47.79
We're going to
talk about a pretty...
00:00:47.82\00:00:49.68
well, some would say
controversial topic for some
00:00:49.69\00:00:53.82
We're going to talk
about AIDS cases increasing in
00:00:53.85\00:00:59.22
those that are involved in
what we call hazardous behaviors
00:00:59.25\00:01:02.83
Well yes, and it's actually
not really controversial it's
00:01:02.86\00:01:06.52
the Centers of Disease Control
who did the study... Okay
00:01:06.55\00:01:08.98
and stated it very clearly...
00:01:09.01\00:01:11.00
That men who have sex with men,
are showing a troubling increase
00:01:11.03\00:01:16.61
in new diagnosis of HIV Hmm
00:01:16.64\00:01:19.48
And this is occurring
particularly in young men
00:01:19.51\00:01:22.10
between the ages
of 13 and 24... Wow
00:01:22.13\00:01:26.37
And the
abbreviation the CDC uses now is
00:01:26.40\00:01:29.46
MSM instead of homosexuality...
00:01:29.49\00:01:32.24
And the reason why they do that
that's "men having sex with men"
00:01:32.27\00:01:36.87
is because not all homosexuals
are purely homosexual...
00:01:36.90\00:01:40.91
You know, they go
the heterosexual behavior
00:01:40.94\00:01:43.28
sometimes, etcetera, and so
they can flip back and forth
00:01:43.31\00:01:46.21
But the MSM portion is the part
where HIV is rapidly growing.
00:01:46.41\00:01:53.80
In fact, between 2001 and
2006, it was the largest HIV
00:01:53.83\00:01:59.21
transmission
category in the U.S.,
00:01:59.24\00:02:01.25
and the ONLY one associated
with an increasing number
00:02:01.28\00:02:04.03
of HIV in AIDS diagnosis.
00:02:04.06\00:02:07.46
Wow, and this is young people
too, basically 13-24, you said?
00:02:07.49\00:02:11.43
That's right, and a lot of
people think AIDS is kind of
00:02:11.46\00:02:13.30
a thing in the past... you
know, the medicines do have
00:02:13.33\00:02:15.24
a tendency to
control it somewhat...
00:02:15.27\00:02:17.22
It's still a deadly
disease, and still one that,
00:02:17.25\00:02:20.42
obviously, should be
avoided at all costs.
00:02:20.45\00:02:23.79
And during this study period,
214,379 diagnoses occurred
00:02:23.82\00:02:30.18
of NEW HIV cases in
the United States alone...
00:02:30.19\00:02:34.20
46% of that
group was the MSM group
00:02:34.21\00:02:38.40
that I previously described...
00:02:38.41\00:02:40.17
And unfortunately, they're not
really conforming to a lifestyle
00:02:40.20\00:02:46.81
and protective measures that
would help them along this line.
00:02:46.84\00:02:50.85
That's too bad... Now,
you know this whole idea,
00:02:50.86\00:02:53.38
sometimes people say,
"Well, that's just the way I am,
00:02:53.41\00:02:55.49
I'm predisposed to
that genetically," and...
00:02:55.50\00:02:59.70
You know, there's
been no proof to that,
00:02:59.73\00:03:01.19
and I'd like to just
state that there has been a
00:03:01.22\00:03:05.11
number of studies
that have been done on this
00:03:05.14\00:03:07.48
and it is NOT something where
you can even take a picture
00:03:07.51\00:03:12.29
of the brain, or measure
testosterone, measure anything
00:03:12.32\00:03:15.56
and tell whether an
individual is homosexual.
00:03:15.59\00:03:19.75
Now there are some
things that have been proven,
00:03:19.78\00:03:22.34
as far as
environmental is concerned...
00:03:22.37\00:03:25.52
For instance, if
the woman is STRESSED,
00:03:25.55\00:03:28.52
...this is an animal study,
pregnant rats who are stressed
00:03:28.55\00:03:32.65
with electric shocks
that are painful for them,
00:03:32.68\00:03:36.01
anytime of day, 24 hours a day,
00:03:36.04\00:03:38.42
they might get these randomly,
00:03:38.45\00:03:39.88
may wake them up in
the middle of the night...
00:03:39.91\00:03:41.42
Do in other words, they
stress these poor, pregnant
00:03:41.43\00:03:43.56
mother rats as much as they
possibly could during the time
00:03:43.59\00:03:46.52
that they're
carrying their young...
00:03:46.53\00:03:48.58
half of their male offspring
had homosexual behavior in rats
00:03:48.59\00:03:54.63
So it's not just in animals...
00:03:54.66\00:03:56.83
and, of course, the
extrapolation from that...
00:03:56.86\00:03:58.88
is if the mother is stressed,
00:03:58.91\00:04:00.34
there may be a
predisposition along that line.
00:04:00.35\00:04:04.39
And the other predisposition...
00:04:04.43\00:04:05.40
So in other words, if
your mother was defibrillated,
00:04:05.41\00:04:07.60
every day or
shocked countless times,
00:04:07.64\00:04:09.75
then you might
have an excuse for this?
00:04:09.78\00:04:11.86
Or you might have a
predisposition to this.
00:04:11.89\00:04:14.86
You have a predisposition...
00:04:14.89\00:04:16.15
You know, we're all predisposed
to things that are not healthy
00:04:16.18\00:04:19.27
And some of us,
more so than others...
00:04:19.30\00:04:20.99
Some people are more predisposed
to becoming alcoholic
00:04:21.02\00:04:23.92
...you know, it's in
their predisposition because of
00:04:23.93\00:04:26.06
the effects of
their parents or etcetera,
00:04:26.09\00:04:28.66
and some are even genetic.
00:04:28.67\00:04:30.86
But anyone who is predisposed...
00:04:30.89\00:04:33.50
In fact, studies have
shown there are people that are
00:04:33.53\00:04:35.54
dramatically predisposed
to becoming alcoholics
00:04:35.57\00:04:38.14
but they NEVER
become an alcoholic.
00:04:38.17\00:04:40.49
Why is that? They
choose never to drink it.
00:04:40.52\00:04:44.24
And so, there's still a personal
choice involved in regards to
00:04:44.27\00:04:49.32
what is appropriate,
and what isn't appropriate.
00:04:49.35\00:04:52.67
But the other predisposition
tends to occur in males that
00:04:52.70\00:04:56.83
have a problem
relationship with a father,
00:04:56.84\00:05:00.77
and they have a
melancholic personality.
00:05:00.78\00:05:03.36
So if they are a melancholic
personality male who has a
00:05:03.39\00:05:06.53
problem
relationship with their father,
00:05:06.56\00:05:07.89
that seems to
predispose the individual...
00:05:07.90\00:05:11.84
But having said that,
many homosexuals come about
00:05:11.87\00:05:15.26
is a result of recruitment.
00:05:15.27\00:05:17.00
They don't have any of
the predisposing factors.
00:05:17.01\00:05:20.32
And studies show that
once a male has a homosexual
00:05:20.35\00:05:23.77
relationship, even if
they weren't wanting it...
00:05:23.78\00:05:27.18
In other words, they
were RAPED by another male
00:05:27.21\00:05:29.85
...Half of them will actually
become homosexual after that
00:05:29.88\00:05:36.06
first experience.
00:05:36.09\00:05:37.57
Now, after the third experience,
if they have sex with
00:05:37.60\00:05:41.14
another man, 3 times,
they will become almost
00:05:41.17\00:05:44.91
exclusively homosexual...
00:05:44.94\00:05:47.17
In other words, they
WON'T want to have heterosexual
00:05:47.20\00:05:49.83
relationships, and that's when
they're breaking up with their
00:05:49.86\00:05:52.37
girlfriend now, and
that's when they're, you know,
00:05:52.40\00:05:54.64
revealing that they're
"no longer heterosexual,
00:05:54.67\00:05:57.17
I'm homosexual" etc.
00:05:57.20\00:05:58.84
But often, it's
through the recruitment mode
00:05:58.85\00:06:03.16
that these things take place.
00:06:03.17\00:06:05.06
And that is the mode
that is often neglected
00:06:05.09\00:06:09.35
as a predisposition.
00:06:09.38\00:06:13.04
And there are some
physiologic things that occur
00:06:13.07\00:06:16.19
in that recruitment
aspect of things that many men
00:06:16.20\00:06:20.11
don't understand that
predisposed them to...
00:06:20.14\00:06:24.27
from a heterosexual,
becoming homosexual...
00:06:24.30\00:06:27.81
And often, that can
occur even in childhood.
00:06:27.84\00:06:30.27
You know, often, it's the
boys that are raped because of
00:06:30.30\00:06:35.36
"the tighter area there"
the man is looking for greater
00:06:35.39\00:06:39.24
dopamine rush and, so
he's looking for tighter areas
00:06:39.25\00:06:43.48
and then the boy is
recruited and never had any
00:06:43.51\00:06:47.03
homosexual tendencies prior
to that, but then becomes one.
00:06:47.06\00:06:50.47
Just because of that
exposure and, you said, one time
00:06:50.48\00:06:53.95
there's a certain
percentage... what was it again?
00:06:53.98\00:06:55.83
50% of them will continue...
00:06:55.86\00:06:59.85
In other words, say...
homosexuality, you know,
00:06:59.88\00:07:02.66
was an experience
that I want to do again.
00:07:02.67\00:07:05.99
And then once they
do it the third time,
00:07:06.02\00:07:07.61
almost exclusively homosexual
00:07:07.64\00:07:09.24
In other words, they
won't have interest in
00:07:09.27\00:07:10.59
heterosexual side of things.
00:07:10.62\00:07:12.73
So, you know, if
someone gets involved in that...
00:07:12.76\00:07:16.52
because of these
high risk things between
00:07:16.55\00:07:18.58
men sexually
active with other men,
00:07:18.61\00:07:21.10
you know, and
probably for other reasons,
00:07:21.13\00:07:24.97
if there are other
reasons that people would say...
00:07:25.00\00:07:27.22
"I think maybe you
should STOP doing this,
00:07:27.25\00:07:29.72
and have a different behavior"
00:07:29.73\00:07:31.84
Is it best to ask people
to stop that type of behavior?
00:07:31.87\00:07:35.90
Oh ABSOLUTELY.
Health wise for sure...
00:07:35.93\00:07:38.44
Yeah, and they CAN stop...
00:07:38.47\00:07:39.63
I mean that's another myth...
00:07:39.66\00:07:40.81
that an individual, once
they're homosexual will never
00:07:40.84\00:07:42.92
be able to stop that behavior.
00:07:42.95\00:07:44.45
That's a myth that's been
disproven in countless cases.
00:07:44.48\00:07:47.92
And, we have dealt
with those cases as well.
00:07:47.95\00:07:50.83
There's an adverse
mental health effect
00:07:50.86\00:07:54.04
associated with homosexuality.
00:07:54.07\00:07:56.24
It's been well-described
in the literature...
00:07:56.27\00:07:57.55
For instance, they're more
likely to be majorly depressed
00:07:57.58\00:08:01.67
...have
clinical depression, etc.
00:08:01.70\00:08:03.44
And so, some of
them go through our
00:08:03.47\00:08:06.19
depression recovery program
00:08:06.22\00:08:08.85
and, as a result of going
through the depression recovery
00:08:08.88\00:08:11.59
program, that enhancement
and their recognition,
00:08:11.62\00:08:14.21
that it would be best
to change that behavior
00:08:14.22\00:08:17.22
are able to do so!
00:08:17.25\00:08:18.39
There's a process involved,
particularly if you're in the
00:08:18.42\00:08:20.95
habit, and you've
had that, it's a process
00:08:20.98\00:08:23.45
It's not something
that's instantaneous...
00:08:23.48\00:08:25.24
But it's a process that can
be completed very successfully.
00:08:25.27\00:08:29.17
Let's go to another study!
00:08:29.20\00:08:31.42
Sudden hearing loss,
a harbinger of a stroke.
00:08:31.45\00:08:36.12
Yes, some people will experience
hearing loss suddenly...
00:08:36.15\00:08:40.26
And they're not sure why
00:08:40.29\00:08:41.51
And they think
their ears are plugged.
00:08:41.52\00:08:43.08
And they'll come to
me, and they'll, you know,
00:08:43.11\00:08:44.98
"What's going on... do my
ears need to be cleaned out?"
00:08:45.01\00:08:47.42
"I can't hear in this ear"
00:08:47.45\00:08:48.93
And what this reveals is...
00:08:48.94\00:08:50.52
it's often a small
stroke that did it.
00:08:50.53\00:08:52.79
And so, if you have sudden
hearing loss, get checked out...
00:08:52.82\00:08:55.39
It could be a small stroke.
00:08:56.35\00:08:57.71
And this was published in
the October issue, 2008, of
00:08:57.74\00:09:02.03
"The Journal Stroke"
00:09:02.06\00:09:03.89
Early warning sign
of an impending stroke
00:09:03.92\00:09:06.16
that could be
worse... So get it checked out.
00:09:06.19\00:09:08.18
Even for young people?
00:09:08.21\00:09:09.90
Even for younger people. Correct
00:09:09.93\00:09:11.82
Okay, let's go
to our next study...
00:09:11.83\00:09:13.81
Silent strokes may
occur early in middle age...
00:09:13.84\00:09:16.32
and what's middle age?
What's early middle age?
00:09:16.35\00:09:18.08
Well... 30 to 49-year-old
00:09:18.11\00:09:20.04
We don't tend to think
of middle age that way,
00:09:20.05\00:09:22.44
but 30 to 49 years of age,
00:09:22.47\00:09:25.84
if we do MRI scans,
we find out that over the
00:09:25.87\00:09:30.21
course of a few
years, about 1 in 10 of them
00:09:30.24\00:09:33.58
will begin to suffer
these little areas of
00:09:33.59\00:09:37.16
small strokes in the brain.
00:09:37.19\00:09:39.72
And, it's due to the lifestyle
that these 30 to 49 year olds
00:09:39.75\00:09:42.77
are on, and it doesn't
show up as a stroke where they
00:09:42.80\00:09:46.28
end up in the hospital,
but it shows up as far as
00:09:46.31\00:09:48.76
maybe a more
greater memory problem,
00:09:48.79\00:09:50.98
maybe lack of focus,
maybe a hearing problem
00:09:51.01\00:09:54.86
...Maybe something isn't
quite right with the brain,
00:09:54.89\00:09:57.85
and that's a sign that
they might need to get an MRI
00:09:57.88\00:10:00.13
And, unfortunately, many
radiologists are reading these
00:10:00.16\00:10:02.66
"holes" out as "normal"
since so many people have them
00:10:02.69\00:10:05.62
They might say,
"Normal due to age"
00:10:05.65\00:10:07.86
And at age 45, even!
00:10:07.89\00:10:09.69
And get a
radiologist to read that report,
00:10:09.72\00:10:13.21
and if there are any
holes there whatsoever,
00:10:13.24\00:10:16.14
I want to know
about them as a physician,
00:10:16.17\00:10:18.33
because that's a time when
we can really alter a patient's
00:10:18.36\00:10:22.37
clinical course, and
prevent more of those,
00:10:22.40\00:10:24.34
and preserve that most
important organ of the body
00:10:24.37\00:10:27.08
which is the human brain.
00:10:27.11\00:10:28.86
Pregnancy pounds!
00:10:28.89\00:10:30.17
The lady who gains more pounds,
00:10:30.20\00:10:32.34
it affects the children's weight
00:10:32.35\00:10:34.93
They actually weigh more?
00:10:34.94\00:10:36.31
That's right. And
this is a common problem
00:10:36.34\00:10:38.88
Women gaining too
much during pregnancy
00:10:38.91\00:10:41.09
You know, for years,
gynecologists stressed that
00:10:41.12\00:10:43.14
"We want a woman
to gain 25 pounds"
00:10:43.17\00:10:45.20
If they're normal weight,
they need to gain 25 pounds
00:10:45.23\00:10:47.93
during pregnancy, and sometimes
they'll say that word "at least"
00:10:47.96\00:10:50.73
And what happens is...
A lot of women think this
00:10:50.76\00:10:53.41
is a license to
eat whatever whenever,
00:10:53.44\00:10:56.05
and as much as they want...
00:10:56.06\00:10:57.37
And many of them will
gain 40 or more pounds.
00:10:57.40\00:10:59.94
And they never lose it.
00:10:59.97\00:11:01.06
And that's unfortunate...
00:11:01.09\00:11:02.14
Many times that's how they
start that pattern of obesity
00:11:02.17\00:11:04.99
and they don't really
lose all of that afterwards.
00:11:05.02\00:11:07.63
But what the study showed is...
00:11:07.66\00:11:08.90
If your mother gained more
than 35 pounds during pregnancy,
00:11:08.93\00:11:13.31
that your risk of
becoming obese yourself
00:11:13.34\00:11:18.38
as a child, goes up!
00:11:18.41\00:11:20.68
In fact for every...
48% more likely it says?
00:11:20.71\00:11:26.18
Well it's 48% more
likely, but it showed
00:11:26.21\00:11:29.19
that by age 7, that for every 3%
... I should say, every 2 pounds
00:11:29.22\00:11:38.09
that the woman put on
above that 35 pound rate,
00:11:38.12\00:11:42.29
there was a 3% increase in
weight at age 7, in that child.
00:11:42.32\00:11:50.34
And so,
that's... every 2 pounds,
00:11:50.35\00:11:52.81
and some people, unfortunately
00:11:52.84\00:11:54.36
I've seen people
put on 65-70 pounds
00:11:54.39\00:11:57.17
during the time
that they're pregnant
00:11:57.20\00:11:58.49
And, that's adversely
affecting that child's future.
00:11:58.52\00:12:01.65
So, if the mom says, "Go
get me this, or I'm going to go
00:12:01.68\00:12:04.70
crazy"... You just say, "Well...
00:12:04.71\00:12:06.84
They need to know...
"Let's just gain the 25 pounds"
00:12:06.87\00:12:09.10
And if they're overweight
already, they should only gain
00:12:09.13\00:12:11.56
about 15 to 20 pounds.
00:12:11.57\00:12:13.37
They shouldn't go
for the 25 pounds.
00:12:13.40\00:12:15.18
This was "American Journal of
Clinical Nutrition," June 2008
00:12:15.21\00:12:19.16
that this study was in.
00:12:19.19\00:12:21.03
Well, Dr. Nedley, a lot of
these studies... I mean are
00:12:21.06\00:12:24.72
on your website, drnedley. com
00:12:24.75\00:12:27.09
Yes, and linked to
the "Nedley Health Report"
00:12:27.12\00:12:30.41
You won't necessarily
find it on the website
00:12:30.44\00:12:32.21
You have to link
to that, and then...
00:12:32.24\00:12:33.79
...the "Nedley
Health Report" Right
00:12:33.82\00:12:34.93
And you can subscribe to
that report and get it sent
00:12:34.96\00:12:37.64
directly to your email whenever
the new studies come in.
00:12:37.67\00:12:40.17
And this is something
you do all the time...
00:12:40.18\00:12:41.42
I mean, every night,
you've got these collated things
00:12:41.45\00:12:44.15
You're looking at
these studies all the time...
00:12:44.18\00:12:45.98
Thank you for taking that
time to do that for yourself,
00:12:46.01\00:12:49.14
but also for us.
You're very welcome.
00:12:49.17\00:12:51.63
I'm glad to
share this information.
00:12:51.66\00:12:54.57
Again, you know, there are
so many that we didn't get to...
00:12:54.60\00:13:00.55
There's always
something new coming out
00:13:00.58\00:13:02.37
But the way you organize it
and whatnot is really helpful.
00:13:02.40\00:13:06.03
So, again, thank
you for being here,
00:13:06.06\00:13:08.88
and thank YOU for being
here on "Health for a Lifetime"
00:13:08.91\00:13:11.77
Really useful
information in this program
00:13:11.80\00:13:14.28
you may want to
get a copy of it...
00:13:14.29\00:13:15.51
And we hope, as you review it,
00:13:15.54\00:13:17.65
you'll have health
that lasts for a lifetime!
00:13:17.68\00:13:19.73
