I'm Agatha Thrash,
a staff physician at
00:00:01.98\00:00:03.88
Uchee Pines Institute...
00:00:03.91\00:00:05.54
and we will be discussing
for the next half an hour,
00:00:05.57\00:00:08.17
some afflictions that women
have that are very uncomfortable
00:00:08.20\00:00:12.20
Women's problems
involve everybody,
00:00:12.23\00:00:14.91
so we hope you'll stay by.
00:00:14.94\00:00:15.91
Welcome to "Help
Yourself to Health"
00:00:36.58\00:00:38.74
with Dr. Agatha Thrash
of Uchee Pines Institute
00:00:38.75\00:00:42.30
And now, here's
your host, Dr. Thrash.
00:00:42.33\00:00:46.37
Women are actually quite sturdy!
00:00:46.40\00:00:49.12
You may think, from
some of the afflictions that
00:00:49.15\00:00:52.70
women suffer, that
perhaps we are really fragile.
00:00:52.73\00:00:55.93
But we live longer than men.
00:00:55.94\00:01:01.03
We can endure longer
than men... a lot of times.
00:01:01.04\00:01:05.00
And sometimes the way that
we conduct ourselves indicates
00:01:05.03\00:01:10.23
that we have more
stamina than men have.
00:01:10.24\00:01:13.77
But we have certain
very vulnerable areas...
00:01:13.80\00:01:18.34
And in these areas,
we do become fragile.
00:01:18.35\00:01:22.24
And one of those is
painful menstruation.
00:01:22.25\00:01:24.81
Now while there are a number
of treatments that you can get,
00:01:24.84\00:01:28.19
some of these treatments
are treatments that you can get
00:01:28.22\00:01:30.52
from a health food store...
00:01:30.55\00:01:31.64
Some of them are
from your grocery store
00:01:31.67\00:01:34.38
and most of them are
things that can be done...
00:01:34.41\00:01:38.03
can be simply incorporated
into any well-run home.
00:01:38.06\00:01:41.87
But I have asked one of
my cohorts at Uchee Pines,
00:01:41.88\00:01:46.10
who is a massage therapist,
to help me show you some
00:01:46.13\00:01:50.44
things that can be done
for women who are having
00:01:50.47\00:01:53.91
a real problem with
painful menstruation.
00:01:53.94\00:01:56.77
So this is my
associate, Valerie Schreiber,
00:01:56.80\00:01:59.24
and Valerie is a
massage therapist, as well as
00:01:59.27\00:02:03.75
an excellent cook...
00:02:03.78\00:02:05.08
And we need all of those
skills to help women to cope
00:02:05.09\00:02:08.65
with their painful menstruation
00:02:08.68\00:02:10.72
and other
afflictions that women have.
00:02:10.75\00:02:13.10
And also my granddaughter,
Melissa, is going to be
00:02:13.13\00:02:16.80
the subject and I'm sure
that every woman will see her
00:02:16.83\00:02:21.25
getting this little massage
and wish that it were she
00:02:21.26\00:02:25.05
But, at any rate, we will
show you and maybe you can get
00:02:25.08\00:02:28.80
some person to help you
when you need this kind of help.
00:02:28.81\00:02:33.03
Okay, Valerie,
what can you show us?
00:02:33.06\00:02:35.40
Okay... I'm going to
show the women out there
00:02:35.43\00:02:41.22
how they can... if you
have someone in your family,
00:02:41.25\00:02:43.72
your husband, or a
friend, or one of your children
00:02:43.75\00:02:47.79
can do this to you.
00:02:47.82\00:02:49.04
The nerves leading
to the uterus primarily
00:02:49.07\00:02:51.91
come out on the
right side of the low back
00:02:51.94\00:02:54.92
and so, a way to massage is to
take the heel part of your hand
00:02:54.95\00:02:59.44
and find the spine, go right on
the opposite side of the spine
00:02:59.45\00:03:04.26
and just circle.
00:03:04.29\00:03:05.51
Just do circles
like this and press.
00:03:05.54\00:03:08.46
Usually feels
absolutely wonderful to them...
00:03:08.49\00:03:11.18
and just move down,
circle and press down deep.
00:03:11.21\00:03:16.24
And you can just move over
like this and you can even go
00:03:16.27\00:03:20.25
over here into the buttocks
area and circle as well.
00:03:20.28\00:03:24.68
And you can, many times,
relieve the menstrual pain
00:03:24.71\00:03:29.69
cramps when you do this.
00:03:29.72\00:03:31.60
Now, I know some of
you are out there saying...
00:03:31.63\00:03:34.70
"Well, I don't have
anybody to do this for me. "
00:03:34.73\00:03:37.33
So, I'm going to show
you how you can do this
00:03:37.36\00:03:41.24
with a tennis ball.
00:03:41.27\00:03:42.24
Now you can take one tennis
ball and you can get up against
00:03:42.25\00:03:46.26
a wall... or, you can lie
down on the floor and put the
00:03:46.29\00:03:50.59
tennis ball right
here in your back,
00:03:50.62\00:03:55.96
as you can probably see...
00:03:55.99\00:04:02.06
right here in your back and then
you lean up against the wall,
00:04:02.09\00:04:05.67
or lean on the floor and
just roll it and move it around
00:04:05.70\00:04:09.65
and it will relieve and you
can station it at various parts
00:04:09.68\00:04:13.54
of the spine and it will work.
00:04:13.57\00:04:15.74
Just like... I can show
you right here on Melissa now.
00:04:15.77\00:04:18.80
And you press against it.
00:04:18.83\00:04:21.08
Now, another way
that you can do this...
00:04:21.11\00:04:23.15
You can get yourself a
nylon stocking and you can put
00:04:23.18\00:04:26.51
2 tennis balls, tie
a knot in it like this
00:04:26.54\00:04:30.78
and this will go on
both sides of the spine...
00:04:30.81\00:04:34.60
And I tell you, this
is a GOOD back massage.
00:04:34.63\00:04:36.74
You can probably
lie down on that...
00:04:36.77\00:04:38.22
You can lie down on it...
00:04:38.25\00:04:39.24
and you can
actually put it on the wall
00:04:39.27\00:04:41.08
and you can scoot up
and down sort of like this
00:04:41.09\00:04:44.88
And this will roll up
and down your spine...
00:04:44.91\00:04:48.10
ohhh... and it feels
absolutely wonderful.
00:04:48.13\00:04:49.75
And you can put a ball
right here on the buttocks area
00:04:49.78\00:04:55.46
And you can press against it
00:04:55.49\00:04:56.74
and it's just a
wonderful massage.
00:04:56.77\00:04:58.76
Well, that's a second way.
00:04:58.79\00:05:01.37
Now a third way
that you can do this is,
00:05:01.40\00:05:03.36
I'm going to
show you on Melissa...
00:05:03.39\00:05:04.66
You can sit on the floor.
00:05:04.69\00:05:07.40
I did this exercise for my
back, probably most of my life.
00:05:07.41\00:05:12.04
And it was always wonderful
for relieving backaches
00:05:12.07\00:05:16.55
and menstrual cramps.
00:05:16.58\00:05:18.23
You just hug your legs
like this and you rock...
00:05:18.26\00:05:22.01
You would just rock
back and rock forward
00:05:22.04\00:05:25.33
and rock back and rock forward.
00:05:25.36\00:05:27.41
Melissa... we can't do
that right here on the table...
00:05:27.44\00:05:30.30
She might fall off, so we
don't want that to happen.
00:05:30.33\00:05:33.71
But you can get the general
gist just by looking at this.
00:05:33.74\00:05:36.45
You just rock back and forth
00:05:36.48\00:05:37.60
and then you can rock sideways.
00:05:37.61\00:05:39.33
If you're on the floor, it
doesn't matter if you wobble.
00:05:39.36\00:05:42.29
Yeah... right... but we're
on a table, so it's not going
00:05:42.32\00:05:44.56
to quite work but on the floor
is where you want to do this.
00:05:44.59\00:05:46.71
And so, you can
rock back and forth,
00:05:46.74\00:05:48.39
and then you can rock sideways.
00:05:48.42\00:05:49.96
And many times, Dr.
Agatha, this is wonderful...
00:05:49.99\00:05:53.10
I can testify to how
good this treatment is.
00:05:53.13\00:05:55.64
Ah yes... Now are
there some heat treatments or
00:05:55.65\00:05:58.96
ice treatments that work
well for this too... Yes.
00:05:58.99\00:06:01.43
One of the other things...
00:06:01.46\00:06:02.81
and we do this SO many
times at Uchee Pines...
00:06:02.84\00:06:06.47
I cannot count them.
00:06:06.50\00:06:07.72
We just do a
simple hot foot bath.
00:06:07.75\00:06:10.16
A hot foot bath is SO good.
00:06:10.19\00:06:12.16
And you know, I've
had them say to me...
00:06:12.19\00:06:14.30
They're in terrible
cramps and they're in misery
00:06:14.31\00:06:16.85
I say, "Look, I want to put
your feet in some hot water. "
00:06:16.88\00:06:19.21
They'll go... "That's not gonna
work. I need something else. "
00:06:19.24\00:06:22.59
And I say...
"Look, just TRY it. "
00:06:22.60\00:06:24.36
Yeah... "I hurt much too bad for
that simple thing to be helpful
00:06:24.40\00:06:27.32
...Give me a pill or whatever.
00:06:27.82\00:06:29.57
I just beg them... Let's try it.
00:06:29.61\00:06:31.36
So I put their feet in hot water
00:06:31.39\00:06:32.93
and in 10 minutes...
00:06:32.96\00:06:34.23
In fact, we just
had a recent situation
00:06:34.26\00:06:35.74
with one of our students.
00:06:35.77\00:06:36.74
And we put her feet in
hot water for 10 minutes,
00:06:36.75\00:06:39.21
it was probably
less or close to it.
00:06:39.24\00:06:42.81
And all of a sudden, her
eyes got big, you know...
00:06:42.84\00:06:45.70
And she was
like... OHHH, IT'S GONE.
00:06:45.73\00:06:49.54
And she was so amazed.
00:06:49.57\00:06:51.42
And so I tell you ladies,
that is one of the wonderful
00:06:51.45\00:06:54.03
treatments because
usually in the uterus,
00:06:54.06\00:06:57.11
you have maybe a
half a cup of blood
00:06:57.12\00:07:01.94
and just that much congestion
will cause a tremendous
00:07:01.95\00:07:05.42
amount of pain.
00:07:05.45\00:07:06.46
So, when you feet
are in the hot water,
00:07:06.49\00:07:08.72
what it does is, it
pulls that blood away from
00:07:08.75\00:07:11.94
the uterine area and
that's why it relieves the pain.
00:07:11.97\00:07:14.76
So I suggest you can
just sit in your bathtub,
00:07:14.79\00:07:17.15
or put your feet over
the bathtub and put them
00:07:17.18\00:07:19.35
right in the hot
water... it's just wonderful.
00:07:19.36\00:07:21.24
If you have a headache,
it will relieve it too.
00:07:21.25\00:07:23.46
Oh yes!
00:07:23.49\00:07:24.98
So for a lot of
afflictions in the abdomen
00:07:25.01\00:07:27.87
or in the
pelvis, or in the head,
00:07:27.88\00:07:30.00
you can do the hot foot bath
and it's really quite effective.
00:07:30.03\00:07:33.80
One of the most marvelous
things about these very
00:07:33.83\00:07:36.87
simple remedies... is
that they are so simple...
00:07:36.90\00:07:39.51
and yet so effective.
00:07:39.54\00:07:40.69
The problem is that
because they're so simple,
00:07:40.72\00:07:44.11
people literally do not believe
that they could be helpful.
00:07:44.14\00:07:47.65
"I'm just too sick for that
very simple thing to be of any
00:07:47.68\00:07:51.23
help to me"... and we
hear that quite a great deal.
00:07:51.26\00:07:53.86
Another problem that women
have is the menopause syndrome.
00:07:53.89\00:07:58.69
Now the menopause syndrome
can begin shortly before
00:07:58.72\00:08:02.85
the menopause with hot flashes.
00:08:02.88\00:08:05.08
She may still be having periods.
00:08:05.11\00:08:07.07
But she may begin to have
hot flashes and that may be
00:08:07.10\00:08:11.02
her first indication that she
is entering into the menopause.
00:08:11.05\00:08:15.12
Now most women, once they
have gone through the menopause
00:08:15.15\00:08:18.18
...they are very, very
happy that they no longer have
00:08:18.21\00:08:21.52
the periods with the
emotional upsets and the hormone
00:08:21.55\00:08:25.69
imbalances and the bloating
and the difficulties that
00:08:25.72\00:08:30.55
women have associated
with the menstrual period.
00:08:30.58\00:08:33.13
They are very happy for that...
00:08:33.16\00:08:35.21
but they do have some other
symptoms that can be a problem.
00:08:35.24\00:08:39.13
And so Valerie, do you
have something that you do
00:08:39.16\00:08:43.08
for women that you
see and your friends...
00:08:43.11\00:08:45.76
What do you do that can help
a women with menopausal syndrome
00:08:45.79\00:08:50.70
OK... Melissa. I have a couple
of favorite things that I use.
00:08:50.73\00:08:56.31
In your local health food store,
00:08:56.34\00:08:58.93
there are many herbal compounds
that are put together that
00:08:58.96\00:09:03.44
are very good for menopause...
00:09:03.47\00:09:05.19
And, of course, the
Pro-Gest cream is excellent...
00:09:05.22\00:09:07.40
But, one of the other treatments
that work so well for me
00:09:07.43\00:09:11.05
and so well for many
other women is what we call...
00:09:11.08\00:09:13.60
"adrenal stimulation. "
00:09:13.63\00:09:14.82
And so, I'm going to
show it to you on Melissa,
00:09:14.85\00:09:18.84
but before I do, I
want to show you where the
00:09:18.87\00:09:20.75
adrenal glands are, so that
you can get an understanding
00:09:20.78\00:09:23.57
If you measure between the
inferior aspect of your scapula,
00:09:23.60\00:09:29.03
or your shoulder blade, you
can just say your shoulder blade
00:09:29.06\00:09:31.19
and your waist... go halfway up,
00:09:31.20\00:09:34.31
which would be...
like here is her waist,
00:09:34.34\00:09:37.77
go halfway up and
then one more finger
00:09:37.80\00:09:40.21
and then go right
over next to your spine
00:09:40.24\00:09:42.19
and both of them sit
there on top of your kidneys
00:09:42.22\00:09:44.63
And this is just
absolutely the most wonderful
00:09:44.66\00:09:47.84
treatment... it can just...
00:09:47.87\00:09:49.13
Dr. Agatha... stop the
hot flashes... It's amazing!
00:09:49.16\00:09:53.91
It's just absolutely amazing!
00:09:53.94\00:09:55.04
I love this treatment.
00:09:55.07\00:09:56.30
The adrenals are involved
in the entire hormone axis
00:09:56.33\00:10:00.82
And so, of course, treating
the adrenals can be very helpful
00:10:00.85\00:10:04.11
in helping a woman to deal
with the menopausal problems.
00:10:04.14\00:10:09.51
So, what are you going
to show us here on Melissa?
00:10:09.52\00:10:14.10
Okay, what I
want to show you is...
00:10:14.11\00:10:16.37
we're going to pretend
that where I have this towel is
00:10:16.40\00:10:18.85
really her bare skin because
you want her back to be bare
00:10:18.86\00:10:22.85
so that you're
going to work right on it.
00:10:22.88\00:10:24.65
Now, you can do
this a couple of ways...
00:10:24.68\00:10:26.83
I did go to Wal-Mart and
bought one of these packs...
00:10:26.84\00:10:32.50
it's sort of like a
hydroculator pack...
00:10:32.53\00:10:34.66
and you can either
make it cold or hot
00:10:34.68\00:10:36.24
So, you can put this in
your microwave and this makes it
00:10:36.27\00:10:39.09
kind of quick and it will
last for about 3 or 4 exchanges
00:10:39.12\00:10:42.01
so that you can have 2 of these,
00:10:42.04\00:10:44.82
Or, you can go ahead and
take a towel, just like this,
00:10:44.85\00:10:48.09
wet it down, fold it
over, put it in a plastic bag
00:10:48.12\00:10:51.26
in your microwave and heat
2 or 3 of them up at a time
00:10:51.29\00:10:54.28
and you can use it this way.
00:10:54.31\00:10:55.60
Now this treatment is
very fast and that is the
00:10:55.63\00:10:58.50
major reason that I've used
this type of hydroculator pack
00:10:58.53\00:11:01.89
because I can do it 3
or 4 times on the back
00:11:01.92\00:11:04.99
without having to
get another hot one.
00:11:05.02\00:11:07.16
So now I have heated
this up in the microwave,
00:11:07.19\00:11:10.02
I will wrap it
into a towel like this
00:11:10.05\00:11:15.27
And I will bring it
out and put it on her back
00:11:15.30\00:11:18.63
Now this treatment has to go
1 minutes, 1 minute, 1 minute.
00:11:18.66\00:11:21.80
Fast stimulation... usually
6 exchanges are sufficient
00:11:21.83\00:11:26.11
I put 7 because
that's God's perfect number,
00:11:26.14\00:11:29.12
so I go back and forth 7 times.
00:11:29.15\00:11:30.69
This goes on the adrenals?
00:11:30.72\00:11:31.92
This goes right over
the adrenals... it's hot.
00:11:31.95\00:11:34.42
Now how I have done this,
and let me just show you...
00:11:34.45\00:11:37.74
I have taken a ziplock
bag filled it with ice,
00:11:37.77\00:11:42.62
then I have taken a
hand towel and got it wet
00:11:42.65\00:11:46.78
Now this is the way
to do it real quick...
00:11:46.81\00:11:48.98
I take the ziplock bag,
lay it down on the wet towel,
00:11:49.01\00:11:53.32
and then I can just pick it up
like this and it's good and wet.
00:11:53.35\00:11:57.15
So, I put the hot
on and my timer rings
00:11:57.18\00:12:03.98
I grab this here like
this, pull this back...
00:12:04.01\00:12:07.67
dry it off just a minute and
put the cold on for 1 minute.
00:12:07.70\00:12:11.07
Now this will
stay... I keep it right here
00:12:11.10\00:12:13.35
This will stay here for just...
00:12:13.36\00:12:18.25
nice and hot for at
least 3 or 4 exchanges.
00:12:18.28\00:12:20.21
I leave this on just about
a half a minute to a minute
00:12:20.24\00:12:22.58
I take this off, just
dry it with this towel
00:12:22.61\00:12:25.35
...back on again.
00:12:25.36\00:12:26.39
Aw... easy. Yeah, very quick.
00:12:26.42\00:12:28.27
And then I just pull
that back again when it rings
00:12:28.30\00:12:31.00
wipe that, put that on.
00:12:31.03\00:12:32.36
And so you can do
this very quickly...
00:12:32.39\00:12:34.65
However, you do need
someone to help you do this.
00:12:34.68\00:12:37.28
I have tried to figure
out how to do this by myself
00:12:37.31\00:12:40.42
by having a hot
one and my cold ready
00:12:40.45\00:12:44.05
and it is quite a work to
do it yourself but you can.
00:12:44.08\00:12:46.66
But, let me tell you
what some women have told me
00:12:46.69\00:12:48.74
and they have had results...
00:12:48.77\00:12:50.25
Now, I didn't do this myself,
00:12:50.28\00:12:51.64
but I've had a number
of women that I explained
00:12:51.67\00:12:54.15
how to do this
treatment but they didn't have
00:12:54.18\00:12:56.06
anyone to help them.
00:12:56.09\00:12:57.06
They got in the shower,
00:12:57.07\00:12:58.08
they turned back to the shower
00:12:58.11\00:13:00.62
and they were able to
turn their shower off and on
00:13:00.65\00:13:03.33
quick enough...
00:13:03.36\00:13:04.33
And they would do
this stimulation and they
00:13:04.34\00:13:06.50
had good results.
00:13:06.53\00:13:07.77
I suppose you sort of aim right
about the middle of the back
00:13:07.80\00:13:11.93
or between the
shoulder blades. Um hm.
00:13:11.94\00:13:13.74
Sounds good.
00:13:13.77\00:13:15.10
And they had very
good results doing that.
00:13:15.13\00:13:17.02
Melissa, do you feel better now?
00:13:17.05\00:13:20.16
This is, of
course, for the menopause.
00:13:20.19\00:13:22.35
But it can also be
used for many other things.
00:13:22.38\00:13:25.37
Any time you wish to
stimulate the adrenals,
00:13:25.40\00:13:28.18
this one is a good one.
00:13:28.21\00:13:29.18
As for asthma, it is
also very good for fatigue.
00:13:29.20\00:13:32.51
And sometimes I tell
people who fall asleep in church
00:13:32.54\00:13:36.45
that it would be good if they
got a good adrenal stimulation
00:13:36.46\00:13:39.70
before they go to
church so they can stay awake
00:13:39.71\00:13:41.89
during the church service.
00:13:41.92\00:13:43.28
Now another
affliction that women have...
00:13:43.29\00:13:47.96
it's principally women,
00:13:47.99\00:13:49.47
and that is osteoporosis.
00:13:49.50\00:13:51.30
More than 90% of
osteoporosis occurs in women.
00:13:51.33\00:13:55.05
It also is not a
very comfortable disorder.
00:13:55.08\00:14:01.01
And we often use soy proteins
for that and soy in many ways...
00:14:01.04\00:14:08.27
just as we do for the menopause.
00:14:08.28\00:14:10.22
And so again, I have
asked Valerie Schreiber
00:14:10.23\00:14:13.76
if she would show you
some things in the use of soy.
00:14:13.79\00:14:17.48
As I look at these things here,
I see some of my very favorite
00:14:17.51\00:14:21.95
foods and so tell us
about some of these...
00:14:21.98\00:14:24.50
This looks like breakfast...
00:14:24.53\00:14:26.15
one of my favorite
breakfast foods... Right.
00:14:26.18\00:14:28.13
This is another one of
these sequences of doing foods
00:14:28.16\00:14:33.03
so that you end up
with more than one thing.
00:14:33.06\00:14:35.06
But I start out with soybeans...
00:14:35.09\00:14:37.63
These are soaked
soybeans? Soaked soybeans.
00:14:37.66\00:14:41.37
You just soak them overnight and
they look just exactly like this
00:14:41.40\00:14:45.79
Then I take them and
I put them in a blender
00:14:45.82\00:14:48.92
and when I blend them,
it looks like this... See
00:14:48.95\00:14:55.83
Ah... yes.
00:14:55.86\00:14:56.83
Now you can do
many things with this.
00:14:56.84\00:15:00.07
Yours look just like mine
when I blend it up like that.
00:15:00.10\00:15:02.97
And so then, I take it
over here into the frying pan
00:15:03.00\00:15:08.04
yes... and I scramble
it... just like you would eggs.
00:15:08.07\00:15:11.95
No
differently... is how I do this.
00:15:11.96\00:15:14.94
And you could put
various seasonings...
00:15:14.97\00:15:17.06
I have in here turmeric,
because you know, that gives it
00:15:17.09\00:15:19.33
the yellow flavor and makes it
kind of look like the real thing
00:15:19.36\00:15:21.89
But you can put some
chicken-style seasoning in it,
00:15:21.92\00:15:24.64
garlic, onions,
whatever you would choose...
00:15:24.67\00:15:28.60
and many times, Dr.
Agatha, I put green peppers and
00:15:28.63\00:15:31.43
red peppers and onions in
here and shitake mushrooms
00:15:31.46\00:15:34.99
and, ooh, is it ever
delicious... Sounds good but
00:15:35.02\00:15:37.17
I think I would call
this the real thing...
00:15:37.18\00:15:39.34
Yeah... and the
other is the substitute.
00:15:39.37\00:15:42.49
The substitute, right.
00:15:42.52\00:15:43.49
And so anyway, here I have
eggs... let's say scrambled
00:15:43.50\00:15:49.96
soy eggs in the morning
00:15:49.99\00:15:51.40
And so I always
make a real big batch
00:15:51.41\00:15:54.26
and so that I have
that for breakfast and then
00:15:54.29\00:15:57.17
I take... it
looks just like this,
00:15:57.20\00:16:00.77
and I put it into a
bowl and I make egg salad.
00:16:00.80\00:16:04.29
And right here, I
have the egg salad.
00:16:04.32\00:16:06.86
Now what's in here, Dr. Agatha,
is... I just have my mayonnaise,
00:16:06.89\00:16:10.37
that I made earlier
and I put mayonnaise in it,
00:16:10.38\00:16:14.31
I chop up celery, onion
and some of those sweet pickles
00:16:14.34\00:16:17.12
you get at your
local health food store
00:16:17.15\00:16:18.71
and I just mix it all
together and it makes a
00:16:18.74\00:16:20.59
wonderful egg salad.
00:16:20.60\00:16:21.95
Now I can tell you one more
step you can do from this...
00:16:21.98\00:16:24.42
is you can take out this and
add a little homemade mustard
00:16:24.45\00:16:29.33
to it and you can make something
that looks a little bit
00:16:29.36\00:16:30.78
like a deviled egg.
00:16:30.81\00:16:32.15
How do you do that?
00:16:32.18\00:16:33.49
Well, you just take a
portion out, like this...
00:16:33.52\00:16:36.74
and actually, you just can cut
this in half and make a whole
00:16:36.77\00:16:40.62
little bowlful of it and
you just make some homemade
00:16:40.65\00:16:43.74
mustard and you just
mix the mustard in...
00:16:43.77\00:16:46.04
and you can take a portion at
a time out... is how I did it.
00:16:46.07\00:16:49.35
I bought the
little round corn chips...
00:16:49.38\00:16:52.64
and I just put that on a
little corn chip... Oh yes...
00:16:52.67\00:16:55.10
and I sprinkle
paprika over top of it
00:16:55.11\00:16:57.27
and it looked just
like a deviled egg and
00:16:57.30\00:16:58.89
I thought it taste like it too.
00:16:58.92\00:17:00.45
Well that sounds very good.
00:17:00.48\00:17:01.90
And I'm certain that it
will be a very great help
00:17:01.93\00:17:04.75
to those who need to increase
their soy, their phytoestrogens,
00:17:04.78\00:17:09.05
and soy is, of course, a
very good way to do that.
00:17:09.08\00:17:12.18
Now, we use soy in a lot
of things that you might not
00:17:12.21\00:17:18.01
think of them as being helpful.
00:17:18.02\00:17:19.46
For instance in cancer,
00:17:19.49\00:17:21.30
soy products of all kinds are
really quite useful in cancer.
00:17:21.33\00:17:26.70
But the soybeans themselves,
as we have shown you just now,
00:17:26.73\00:17:30.76
are the very best possible
way that you can use soybeans
00:17:30.79\00:17:34.64
rather than some
commercial product.
00:17:34.67\00:17:37.31
So see if you can find
the soybeans themselves
00:17:37.34\00:17:40.11
and prepare those in
hundreds of very tasty ways.
00:17:40.14\00:17:45.45
And it isn't necessary for you
to do exactly as we have done
00:17:45.48\00:17:48.45
but some way devise methods
of using soy so that you can
00:17:48.48\00:17:53.91
increase the
phytoestrogens from soy.
00:17:53.94\00:17:56.34
I think it would not be
wrong if you had soybeans
00:17:56.35\00:17:59.19
every day the rest of your life.
00:17:59.22\00:18:01.17
I know one man
who is now, almost 90,
00:18:01.20\00:18:04.31
who has had soybeans
every day of his life
00:18:04.34\00:18:07.60
since he was about 45.
00:18:07.63\00:18:09.33
So certainly for him, it
has been a very good thing.
00:18:09.34\00:18:13.22
Now concerning the
matter of osteoporosis or
00:18:13.25\00:18:16.43
thinning of the bones,
00:18:16.46\00:18:17.64
we need to give
firm attention to that,
00:18:17.67\00:18:21.20
and focus on this
because from early in life,
00:18:21.23\00:18:24.98
a women needs to be
strengthening the bones
00:18:25.01\00:18:27.02
because she is prone to
get osteoporosis later in life.
00:18:27.03\00:18:31.28
And I have asked Don Miller,
who has studied this matter
00:18:31.31\00:18:35.22
at some depth, to talk
with you about osteoporosis...
00:18:35.23\00:18:39.81
Don Miller is an associate
of mine at Uchee Pines Institute
00:18:39.84\00:18:43.27
and he will talk
with you now about
00:18:43.30\00:18:45.45
some things of osteoporosis.
00:18:45.48\00:18:47.56
Okay, Dr. Thrash, osteoporosis,
00:18:47.59\00:18:50.52
I'm going to say at the
very beginning, is not just
00:18:50.53\00:18:53.23
an old lady's disease.
00:18:53.26\00:18:54.62
Two other groups are
apt to get osteoporosis...
00:18:54.65\00:18:58.49
One, men can get osteoporosis.
00:18:58.52\00:19:00.81
And so, don't think that we
are immune to the disease...
00:19:00.84\00:19:04.37
it just more happens
to be in a woman's realm,
00:19:04.38\00:19:08.10
than in a man's realm.
00:19:08.13\00:19:09.20
What makes a woman more
susceptible to osteoporosis
00:19:09.23\00:19:13.04
is the fact that she usually
does not have as much muscle
00:19:13.07\00:19:15.42
mass, or as much weight.
00:19:15.45\00:19:17.24
So that shows you that if
a woman, a little bit heavier
00:19:17.27\00:19:20.92
and we're not
talking about overweight
00:19:20.95\00:19:22.46
because that has its other
whole set of problems with it
00:19:22.49\00:19:25.34
But if a woman is a little
bit heavier, she is less likely
00:19:25.37\00:19:29.71
to get osteoporosis
00:19:29.74\00:19:30.91
And here's the reason why...
00:19:30.94\00:19:31.93
Our bones need a daily shake up.
00:19:31.96\00:19:34.15
They need to be stressed.
00:19:34.18\00:19:35.41
Every time you stress a bone,
you're telling the bones...
00:19:35.44\00:19:38.49
"Look, we need to
build more bone mass. "
00:19:38.52\00:19:40.95
And so, it sends out
and it brings more calcium
00:19:40.98\00:19:44.32
from the bloodstream
and starts building a better
00:19:44.35\00:19:46.93
base of the bone.
00:19:46.96\00:19:48.46
Now I mentioned another group...
00:19:48.49\00:19:49.83
But I want to read a
little piece of an article
00:19:49.86\00:19:53.17
I received in a magazine on
an airline flight some time ago
00:19:53.20\00:19:57.71
The headline of the
article was, "Sick Kids. "
00:19:57.72\00:20:01.74
This is very interesting...
00:20:01.77\00:20:03.46
It says.. "Osteoporosis,
a dangerous thinning of the
00:20:03.49\00:20:08.24
bones that usually takes
place in women after menopause
00:20:08.27\00:20:11.78
is now being found
in adolescent girls. "
00:20:11.81\00:20:15.05
Now, what are they basing it on?
00:20:15.08\00:20:17.21
Why do they think
that these young girls...
00:20:17.24\00:20:19.05
...We're talking about young
girls getting osteoporosis...
00:20:19.08\00:20:22.10
They're basing it on the
fact that soft drink consumption
00:20:22.13\00:20:26.12
has doubled and
tripled recently.
00:20:26.15\00:20:29.15
It's all this
drinking of the soft drinks.
00:20:29.16\00:20:31.57
Now, they also say that
it's because it's replacing
00:20:31.60\00:20:33.96
the milk in the diet.
00:20:33.99\00:20:35.32
And, I don't go with that
because milk has its own set
00:20:35.35\00:20:40.33
of precautions for osteoporosis
which I'll explain in a moment.
00:20:40.36\00:20:44.50
But it's ALL the
drinking of the sodas.
00:20:44.53\00:20:46.63
Now, another word for
soda is soft drinks...
00:20:46.66\00:20:50.10
what also makes soft bones.
00:20:50.11\00:20:52.58
What is happening is the
soda is full of phosphoric acid
00:20:52.61\00:20:56.90
and it's the
phosphorus that causes the bone
00:20:56.93\00:21:00.41
calcium to go down
because it causes the
00:21:00.44\00:21:03.18
blood calcium to go down.
00:21:03.22\00:21:04.90
This is the way it works...
00:21:04.93\00:21:06.58
We have in our
bloodstream, plenty of calcium.
00:21:06.61\00:21:09.00
It's there for a
number of reasons.
00:21:09.01\00:21:10.45
It's used for a
clotting mechanism
00:21:10.48\00:21:14.27
It's used for
neurotransmission...
00:21:14.28\00:21:16.40
It needs to be out
there for that and a number
00:21:16.43\00:21:18.37
of other things...
hormones and everything else.
00:21:18.40\00:21:20.23
Well, when we take in a
large amount of phosphorus,
00:21:20.26\00:21:24.16
the calcium says, "I've
got to go somewhere else"
00:21:24.19\00:21:27.17
And so normally,
it goes to the kidneys
00:21:27.20\00:21:28.96
and it's excreted from the body.
00:21:28.99\00:21:30.67
That causes other problems.
00:21:30.68\00:21:32.30
We start having a
calcification in the kidney area
00:21:32.33\00:21:35.35
causing some kidney stones.
00:21:35.38\00:21:37.05
Two other things will
cause the same reaction
00:21:37.08\00:21:39.78
with the calcium...
00:21:39.79\00:21:40.76
is a high protein diet
and a high sodium diet.
00:21:40.77\00:21:45.64
Now there is one food
that's very high in calcium,
00:21:45.65\00:21:48.86
very high in protein,
very high in phosphorus,
00:21:48.89\00:21:52.10
and very high in sodium
00:21:52.13\00:21:53.43
and that very product is
milk and all dairy products.
00:21:53.46\00:21:56.80
And so as we take in
this quantity of milk,
00:21:56.83\00:22:00.98
it's going to cause
the calcium to say...
00:22:01.01\00:22:03.35
"I've got to leave for now"
00:22:03.38\00:22:05.37
That's why we see the
need... the daily requirement
00:22:05.40\00:22:09.12
being raised higher and higher.
00:22:09.15\00:22:10.71
I've seen some figures
as high as 1500 milligrams
00:22:10.74\00:22:13.45
for calcium a day
00:22:13.48\00:22:14.49
But one very sage
Harvard researcher says that...
00:22:14.52\00:22:18.37
a woman needs about 128
milligrams of calcium per day.
00:22:18.40\00:22:22.43
Now why this disparity
between 128 and 1500...
00:22:22.46\00:22:26.98
It's because, and he
said it himself in an article,
00:22:26.99\00:22:29.55
it's because the
lifestyle that would require us
00:22:29.58\00:22:33.07
to keep the calcium in place,
00:22:33.10\00:22:35.32
is a little bit too rigorous
and we're not willing to do it.
00:22:35.35\00:22:38.28
We're not willing to
leave out the dairy products.
00:22:38.31\00:22:40.92
We're not willing to
leave off the soft drinks.
00:22:40.93\00:22:44.87
We're not willing to leave
off the caffeinated beverages.
00:22:44.90\00:22:48.39
A woman who drinks,
postmenopausal, one cup of
00:22:48.42\00:22:51.60
coffee or, I might
say, brown drinks a day...
00:22:51.63\00:22:54.71
Brown drinks being
coffee, tea, cola and chocolate.
00:22:54.74\00:22:58.26
One cup a day, she'll
lose 1.4% of her bone calcium
00:22:58.29\00:23:03.39
every single year.
00:23:03.40\00:23:04.68
Added to that,
cigarette smoking...
00:23:04.71\00:23:07.30
and not too many cigarettes,
00:23:07.33\00:23:08.47
she'll lose another 1% of
her bone calcium every year.
00:23:08.50\00:23:11.30
So, let's say between
the ages of 50 and 60,
00:23:11.33\00:23:14.62
if she just... "I just
drink a little bit of coffee
00:23:14.65\00:23:17.21
and just smoke a
couple of cigarettes"...
00:23:17.22\00:23:19.03
In that little action, she'll
lose 24% of her bone calcium
00:23:19.06\00:23:23.29
in one decade
from those 2 bad habits
00:23:23.30\00:23:26.19
And usually, if you
have those 2 bad habits,
00:23:26.22\00:23:28.90
you've got many
other bad habits with it.
00:23:28.93\00:23:30.80
And so, how do we keep
from getting osteoporosis?
00:23:30.83\00:23:33.43
One, we get our calcium
the way God packaged it.
00:23:33.46\00:23:36.81
I've not seen too many
cows with osteoporosis.
00:23:36.84\00:23:39.89
And it's funny, cows seem
to be able to wean themselves
00:23:39.92\00:23:42.87
at a very young age.
00:23:42.90\00:23:44.10
And I've not yet seen a
bull out in the field suckling
00:23:44.13\00:23:47.02
on a cow.
00:23:47.05\00:23:48.07
No... a bull is out there eating
legumes, is out there eating
00:23:48.10\00:23:51.98
greens, is out
there eating grains...
00:23:52.01\00:23:53.85
And that's where we
should get our calcium from.
00:23:53.88\00:23:56.36
When I was a
child, we had a farm,
00:23:56.39\00:24:01.17
and my sisters and I
would go out into the fields
00:24:01.20\00:24:03.64
and there was one
thing we loved to do...
00:24:03.67\00:24:05.26
in the corner of one of
the fields where we would have
00:24:05.29\00:24:07.52
a couple of cows, we'd raise for
beef, I used to be a beef eater
00:24:07.55\00:24:10.93
...there would
be a big blue block.
00:24:10.96\00:24:13.47
Now some of you know
what that big blue block was.
00:24:13.50\00:24:15.96
That big blue block was salt.
00:24:15.99\00:24:18.14
And we'd walk up... we
didn't know any better,
00:24:18.17\00:24:20.22
and we'd go slurp, slurp and
we'd lick on that big salt block
00:24:20.23\00:24:23.39
Well, that salt block was there
for the cows to lick on because
00:24:23.42\00:24:26.09
they've got much
higher quantities of sodium
00:24:26.12\00:24:29.18
in their bodies.
00:24:29.21\00:24:30.18
As a matter of fact,
a cow... a mother cow,
00:24:30.19\00:24:34.15
in her milk, will have 4
or 5 times as much sodium
00:24:34.18\00:24:38.69
as human milk will have.
00:24:38.72\00:24:40.36
Now I believe that a great
Divine Designer designed the
00:24:40.39\00:24:43.70
milk for the baby cow
00:24:43.73\00:24:45.17
and He says... "Hmm, this
baby cow needs a little bit more
00:24:45.20\00:24:47.96
sodium" and so He put a lot
more sodium in mother's milk.
00:24:47.99\00:24:51.34
He looked at the human and says,
"Hmm, needs a lot LESS sodium"
00:24:51.37\00:24:55.74
and put a lot less
sodium in mother's milk.
00:24:55.77\00:24:57.89
And so when the human
baby nurses from its mother,
00:24:57.92\00:25:02.06
it's receiving a very
low quantity of sodium.
00:25:02.09\00:25:04.34
But somehow, we want to
put our children on dairy milk
00:25:04.37\00:25:08.48
somewhere in their lives
00:25:08.51\00:25:09.57
which makes their sodium go up,
00:25:09.60\00:25:11.08
which starts making
them, setting them up
00:25:11.11\00:25:13.36
some day for osteoporosis.
00:25:13.39\00:25:15.23
We need to do
exercises every day.
00:25:15.26\00:25:18.16
We get on a
good vegetarian diet,
00:25:18.19\00:25:19.92
we do exercising every day,
00:25:19.95\00:25:21.83
we stay away from caffeine,
we stay away from colas,
00:25:21.86\00:25:25.05
we stay away from
tea and chocolate...
00:25:25.08\00:25:26.65
all of which are going to cause
us to lose our bone calcium.
00:25:26.68\00:25:29.62
We NEED to do
these simple things
00:25:29.65\00:25:31.95
And these simple
things, we're going to find,
00:25:31.98\00:25:33.97
will protect us.
00:25:34.00\00:25:35.17
Now one of the BEST,
00:25:35.20\00:25:37.06
as a matter of fact, I
think it's the BEST source of
00:25:37.09\00:25:39.10
calcium that I know
of... is just good old greens.
00:25:39.13\00:25:41.73
...Collards, mustard greens,
whatever these greens may be
00:25:41.76\00:25:45.89
very high, but strawberries
have calcium, peaches,
00:25:45.92\00:25:50.33
apricots, figs.
00:25:50.34\00:25:52.05
As a matter of fact,
extremely progressive
00:25:52.08\00:25:56.79
nutritionists today
will say that there's really
00:25:56.82\00:25:59.65
no need to have an RDA
for calcium because it's
00:25:59.68\00:26:03.11
so common out there, we
don't need to sit there and say
00:26:03.14\00:26:07.60
...you have to take this
much because if you're eating
00:26:07.63\00:26:09.35
anything, you're eating calcium.
00:26:09.38\00:26:11.17
So calcium intake
is not the problem.
00:26:11.20\00:26:13.96
It's calcium outgo
that's the problem.
00:26:13.99\00:26:16.15
Lower the protein intake,
00:26:16.18\00:26:17.99
lower the phosphorus intake,
00:26:18.02\00:26:19.66
lower the sodium intake...
00:26:19.69\00:26:21.36
You'll keep your calcium.
00:26:21.39\00:26:22.75
Work on your bones,
do some muscle work.
00:26:22.78\00:26:25.04
Do some walking.
00:26:25.07\00:26:26.04
Get out there and
exercise which will cause
00:26:26.05\00:26:28.29
your osteoblasts to lay
down some more bone matrix
00:26:28.30\00:26:31.78
and you will not
get osteoporosis.
00:26:31.81\00:26:33.91
And so, pretty
simple things, Dr. Thrash...
00:26:33.92\00:26:36.70
a way to keep from
getting osteoporosis.
00:26:36.71\00:26:38.39
Yes, and I've heard
you mention about smoking
00:26:38.42\00:26:41.17
that smoking is
also a serious problem
00:26:41.20\00:26:44.27
causing osteoporosis.
00:26:44.30\00:26:45.63
Now, he mentioned that
coffee, tea, colas and chocolate
00:26:45.66\00:26:51.82
were a factor and
we'd like to show you
00:26:51.85\00:26:55.07
some substitutes
for these harmful things
00:26:55.10\00:27:00.94
in the form of carob.
00:27:00.97\00:27:03.17
And I'd like to just
point to you that there are some
00:27:03.20\00:27:07.31
absolutely delicious
things which Valerie has made...
00:27:07.34\00:27:10.44
What do you have here?
00:27:10.47\00:27:11.65
Well this is
carob Bavarian cream...
00:27:11.69\00:27:14.39
Oh... so you have
a recipe for that?
00:27:14.42\00:27:16.45
Yes I do.
00:27:16.48\00:27:17.45
I'll have to get that from you.
00:27:17.48\00:27:18.78
And this is... you
can make your own cream.
00:27:18.81\00:27:21.31
And I just kind of put the
carob pudding and whipped cream
00:27:21.34\00:27:25.23
and mixed it up, going
all the way up the dish which
00:27:25.26\00:27:27.54
makes it quite
attractive. Ah ha... it does.
00:27:27.57\00:27:29.31
And very appetizing and the
kids really love it... I'm sure.
00:27:29.34\00:27:33.70
My little secret to carob is to
put mint in it or peanut butter
00:27:33.73\00:27:39.17
in it and it makes
it very delicious...
00:27:39.20\00:27:40.81
...makes it
creamy and nice... um hmm
00:27:40.84\00:27:41.95
Yes, well I'm certainly
happy that we do not have to be
00:27:41.98\00:27:46.34
limited in what we can eat.
00:27:46.37\00:27:48.23
There are many
delightful things without having
00:27:48.26\00:27:50.86
anything that we're going
00:27:50.89\00:27:52.31
to find harmful to our bodies.
00:27:52.34\00:27:53.31
