Disease is a word that
actually defines itself.
00:00:01.98\00:00:05.35
"Dis and ease".. you put those
2 phrases together and you have
00:00:05.38\00:00:10.87
"disease" or the lack of ease.
00:00:10.90\00:00:14.76
Another way to define
disease is an effort of nature
00:00:14.79\00:00:19.43
to rid herself of the
conditions that have resulted
00:00:19.46\00:00:22.70
from broken health law.
00:00:22.73\00:00:24.65
We'll be talking
about some of these laws...
00:00:24.68\00:00:26.76
and what you can do to help
your body to rid itself of these
00:00:26.79\00:00:31.12
conditions during this program.
00:00:31.13\00:00:33.01
We hope you will join us for it.
00:00:33.04\00:00:34.01
Welcome to "Help
Yourself to Health"
00:00:54.22\00:00:56.25
with Dr. Agatha Thrash
of Uchee Pines Institute
00:00:56.28\00:01:00.08
And now, here's
your host, Dr. Thrash
00:01:00.11\00:01:04.35
We don't always know what
laws we have broken when we
00:01:04.38\00:01:08.58
have a disease.
00:01:08.59\00:01:09.81
Sometimes, we do
but much of the time,
00:01:09.82\00:01:12.53
we just don't know.
00:01:12.56\00:01:14.20
We think we may have
broken some law, and as we
00:01:14.23\00:01:19.57
think about our program,
we can sometimes pinpoint
00:01:19.60\00:01:23.14
..."Yes, here is
where I've made a mistake"
00:01:23.17\00:01:26.24
and that led to a disease. "
00:01:26.25\00:01:29.15
I know a woman who had a little
girl who was probably about
00:01:29.18\00:01:34.09
2 or 2-1/2, and
when she was just
00:01:34.12\00:01:39.35
going into the hospital for
the birth of her second child,
00:01:39.39\00:01:42.36
the little girl had some
swollen gums and they looked
00:01:42.39\00:01:46.50
a little spongy
and uncomfortable,
00:01:46.53\00:01:49.82
but she still
had a good appetite
00:01:49.85\00:01:51.61
and everything
seemed to be all right.
00:01:51.64\00:01:53.19
So, the new baby was
born and the mother brought
00:01:53.22\00:01:56.31
the baby home, and
looked at her little daughter
00:01:56.34\00:01:59.78
and her gums were now bleeding.
00:01:59.81\00:02:03.02
Not only that, she had
some swollen lymph nodes.
00:02:03.05\00:02:06.08
Well, she had heard somewhere
back in her ancient past
00:02:06.11\00:02:10.13
that bleeding gums
and swollen lymph nodes
00:02:10.16\00:02:14.41
meant leukemia.
00:02:14.44\00:02:15.98
So immediately she thought,
"My child has leukemia. "
00:02:16.01\00:02:19.85
So she could
hardly get in the house.
00:02:19.88\00:02:22.26
She sent her
husband with the little girl
00:02:22.29\00:02:25.51
to the pediatrician's
office and the diagnosis was
00:02:25.54\00:02:29.40
brought back...
"infectious lymphadenitis"
00:02:29.41\00:02:32.11
Ahh... we can draw a
deep breath on that one!
00:02:32.14\00:02:35.33
We didn't have a
real serious problem.
00:02:35.36\00:02:38.23
What a joy! What a privilege!
00:02:38.26\00:02:40.66
What a relief that is!
00:02:40.69\00:02:42.82
So in this instance,
they checked back to see if
00:02:42.85\00:02:47.81
they could determine what
it might be that had caused
00:02:47.82\00:02:50.84
the little girl to have a
weakening of her immune system
00:02:50.87\00:02:53.99
that caused the
infectious lymphadenitis.
00:02:54.02\00:02:56.38
A few hot baths and
some hot packs to her throat
00:02:56.41\00:03:00.42
and the entire neck abolished
the infectious lymphadenitis
00:03:00.45\00:03:05.70
and she was perfectly fine.
00:03:05.73\00:03:07.12
But when they checked
back in her recent history,
00:03:07.15\00:03:10.30
they remembered that
about 3 or 4 days before
00:03:10.33\00:03:14.36
the new baby was born,
this older child had gone
00:03:14.39\00:03:20.76
to a little birthday
party for another child,
00:03:20.79\00:03:23.97
and she had eaten some things
00:03:24.00\00:03:25.77
that ordinarily, she
didn't eat at home...
00:03:25.81\00:03:27.86
And apparently that
weakened the immune system
00:03:27.89\00:03:29.91
enough so that she was not
able to hold the fences high
00:03:29.92\00:03:36.78
on the problem with
infectious lymphadenitis.
00:03:36.81\00:03:40.52
Now sometimes our problems
are very small like that,
00:03:40.55\00:03:45.69
but one of the big
problems, that for couples
00:03:45.70\00:03:48.22
can be such a serious problem,
that both the wife and the
00:03:48.25\00:03:53.84
husband are quite
sick at heart about it,
00:03:53.85\00:03:57.37
and that is infertility.
00:03:57.40\00:03:59.60
Infertility can be a problem
that both men and women have,
00:03:59.63\00:04:05.58
and with women, the problem
is much more difficult to find
00:04:05.61\00:04:09.51
than in men.
00:04:09.54\00:04:11.04
In women, they may
have blocked tubes.
00:04:11.07\00:04:15.03
They may have a
problem with the cervix.
00:04:15.06\00:04:17.22
It may be a
problem with the vagina.
00:04:17.25\00:04:19.43
There may be an inadequate
cushion for the implantation of
00:04:19.46\00:04:24.17
the little ovum, or
the ovum itself may not be
00:04:24.20\00:04:27.80
of good quality.
00:04:27.83\00:04:29.28
There are many, many reasons
why a woman can be infertile.
00:04:29.31\00:04:33.92
And sometimes the treatment
for her may not be as easy as
00:04:33.95\00:04:38.62
it is for a man.
00:04:38.63\00:04:40.12
There are certain hormonal
problems that a woman can have.
00:04:40.15\00:04:43.91
She can have a thyroid problem,
00:04:43.94\00:04:45.49
and that can cause her
to have a serious difficulty
00:04:45.53\00:04:50.76
with conceiving.
00:04:50.79\00:04:53.41
It may be so
severe that each month,
00:04:53.44\00:04:56.24
she goes into a depression.
00:04:56.25\00:04:57.80
Just sick at heart because
no pregnancy had resulted.
00:04:57.83\00:05:02.32
And the thyroid problem
is corrected, and sometimes
00:05:02.35\00:05:05.52
if that were the principal
cause of her infertility,
00:05:05.55\00:05:10.45
then she conceives.
00:05:10.46\00:05:12.60
Sometimes, it's
an ovarian problem.
00:05:12.63\00:05:15.16
Something wrong with the ovary,
00:05:15.19\00:05:16.91
or something
wrong with her cycles.
00:05:16.94\00:05:18.89
There are several
ways that the hormones can
00:05:18.90\00:05:22.07
go out of kilter, and can make
it so that she cannot conceive.
00:05:22.10\00:05:28.13
Now sometimes, it is
not the woman who is the
00:05:28.16\00:05:33.22
problem... it is the man...
00:05:33.25\00:05:35.24
And Dr. Don Miller is going
to talk with you some about
00:05:35.27\00:05:39.65
male infertility.
00:05:39.66\00:05:41.42
What can you tell us that will
shed some light on this topic.
00:05:41.45\00:05:45.52
Well, whenever I deal with
people, and this often happens
00:05:45.53\00:05:49.06
when I'm in places like India,
where there is a fertility
00:05:49.09\00:05:52.48
problem... of course it's
always the women coming to me
00:05:52.51\00:05:54.91
The men will NEVER come...
00:05:54.94\00:05:56.40
And, of course, the first
problem I see in places like
00:05:56.43\00:05:59.90
this is... Here's
this woman who I would
00:05:59.93\00:06:02.70
take to be in her
late teens, and she is,
00:06:02.73\00:06:04.63
and she's been married for
8-9 years, and she's been unable
00:06:04.66\00:06:08.85
to conceive... I'm
just thinking the trauma
00:06:08.89\00:06:10.54
that this poor child has gone
00:06:10.83\00:06:12.09
through has probably
had a lot to do with it.
00:06:12.13\00:06:14.54
But I would always
tell her AND her spouse...
00:06:14.57\00:06:16.95
This is what I tell
them when I go there...
00:06:16.98\00:06:19.94
I say, "Look, what I want you
to do, is I want you to go home
00:06:19.97\00:06:23.49
and eat the BEST
foods you can find.
00:06:23.52\00:06:26.35
Natural foods... I
want you to eat a lot of
00:06:26.38\00:06:28.58
B vitamin-type foods.
00:06:28.61\00:06:30.51
As a matter of fact, I
will buy the B vitamins,
00:06:30.52\00:06:32.58
give them multiple vitamins,
some complex B vitamins
00:06:32.61\00:06:37.71
Have them eat a lot of
fresh fruits and vegetables,
00:06:37.74\00:06:40.49
and have no relations
for at least one month...
00:06:40.52\00:06:42.98
And then according to their
cycle, when they're at the peak
00:06:43.01\00:06:47.35
of their fertility, I
say... then is when you try
00:06:47.38\00:06:50.74
it again, and see what happens.
00:06:50.77\00:06:52.69
But men often get into problems,
you're seeing this more and more
00:06:52.72\00:06:55.96
More and more men today
are infertile for a couple of
00:06:55.99\00:06:58.89
very common reasons.
00:06:58.92\00:07:00.05
#1. They're taking steroids,
trying to build up their bodies
00:07:00.09\00:07:05.10
which is going to lessen
their production of sperm
00:07:05.13\00:07:07.66
and, therefore,
they're not going to be able to
00:07:07.69\00:07:09.51
enable their wives to conceive.
00:07:09.54\00:07:11.77
And so, if men want to have
children, or have their wives
00:07:11.80\00:07:15.44
have children, they need to
stay away from the steroids,
00:07:15.47\00:07:17.88
and let the
muscles develop naturally.
00:07:17.89\00:07:20.44
But there's another
new one... it's not so new,
00:07:20.47\00:07:23.53
but it's been
recently discovered...
00:07:23.56\00:07:25.15
Not long ago, I
bought a bicycle,
00:07:25.18\00:07:27.98
and I rode that thing,
and I was in a lot of pain
00:07:28.01\00:07:31.70
because they have this little
thing about the size of a banana
00:07:31.73\00:07:34.42
...and I don't like sitting on
bananas for long periods of time
00:07:34.45\00:07:37.26
especially these hard bananas.
00:07:37.29\00:07:38.49
They find that people
who ride bicycles with this
00:07:38.52\00:07:41.95
narrow seat, because of
the lack of circulation,
00:07:41.98\00:07:46.61
that this will cause, because
this is pushing up into that
00:07:46.64\00:07:49.63
area, will decrease the amount
of spermatozoa the body will
00:07:49.66\00:07:53.67
produce and, therefore, reduce
a man's fertility himself.
00:07:53.68\00:07:56.81
And so, we need to get
those nice big tractor seats
00:07:56.84\00:07:59.66
It may not look very macho.
00:07:59.69\00:08:01.33
It may not make
you very aerodynamic...
00:08:01.36\00:08:03.53
but I would recommend
you get a smaller seat.
00:08:03.56\00:08:05.75
Also, the overheating of the
male organs is not very good.
00:08:05.78\00:08:11.84
So basically, the
jockey-type underwear...
00:08:11.87\00:08:16.94
these really tight
little bikini-type...
00:08:16.97\00:08:19.10
I see some men... in
the stores you see the
00:08:19.13\00:08:21.38
advertisements for
bikini-type underwear for men
00:08:21.41\00:08:24.32
Not healthy for
the male anatomy.
00:08:24.35\00:08:26.85
And so the best thing for
him to do is get the boxer-type
00:08:26.88\00:08:30.15
shorts, and that might
help him a lot in staying away
00:08:30.18\00:08:33.21
from the infertility
problem with his wife.
00:08:33.24\00:08:35.80
There are other psychological
things also in this thing.
00:08:35.83\00:08:39.70
You know, both the husband
and the wife have to be at one
00:08:39.73\00:08:42.32
I think
sometimes the body says...
00:08:42.35\00:08:44.65
"No, we're not going
to let this happen because
00:08:44.68\00:08:46.47
things just aren't right. "
00:08:46.50\00:08:47.82
But then there's another
thing we've got to consider...
00:08:47.85\00:08:49.88
Maybe God is saying, "For
some, yes, but for you, no"
00:08:49.91\00:08:53.38
But there's another
factor in there too...
00:08:53.41\00:08:55.63
that I failed to mention,
and we need to mention because
00:08:55.66\00:08:57.96
we're living in a strange
time in this earth's history
00:08:57.99\00:09:00.08
We're living in a time just like
the time of Sodom and Gomorrah
00:09:00.11\00:09:03.13
And much, much
infertility is being caused by
00:09:03.16\00:09:07.43
sexually transmitted diseases
that may have transpired
00:09:07.46\00:09:10.55
15, 20, 30 years ago!
00:09:10.58\00:09:12.43
Maybe not 30 years
ago, but a long time ago
00:09:12.46\00:09:15.02
which has so
damaged the apparatus,
00:09:15.05\00:09:17.48
that conception is impossible.
00:09:17.52\00:09:19.91
And so, it's extremely important
to live pure in these days...
00:09:19.95\00:09:24.04
if you want to have a
normal and productive life.
00:09:24.07\00:09:27.56
Does that sound like
good advice, Dr. Thrash?
00:09:27.59\00:09:29.43
Yes, that's very good
advice, and I, of course,
00:09:29.46\00:09:32.11
agree with that fully!
00:09:32.12\00:09:33.74
I got from the
internet, on male infertility,
00:09:33.75\00:09:37.59
some things that I thought
were worthy of taking note of.
00:09:37.62\00:09:42.60
One is that in 30%
of infertile couples,
00:09:42.63\00:09:45.98
the husband, alone, is involved,
00:09:46.01\00:09:51.62
and in another 20%, the
husband is partly to blame
00:09:51.65\00:09:55.69
and the wife is
partly at fault with that...
00:09:55.72\00:09:58.53
But it's in those cases that
a man can be greatly helped.
00:09:58.54\00:10:03.81
And, of course, to make a
test for a man to test his
00:10:03.84\00:10:10.13
fertility... very
simple, just a laboratory test
00:10:10.16\00:10:13.54
and a count of spermatozoa,
and an understanding of
00:10:13.57\00:10:19.96
what percentage of those
spermatozoa are in good health
00:10:19.99\00:10:23.72
and are nicely motile...
00:10:23.75\00:10:25.35
that can be very
helpful to one to know.
00:10:25.38\00:10:28.40
And then about 20 to 250
million spermatozoa per cc
00:10:28.43\00:10:34.87
that's the expected count
00:10:34.90\00:10:36.85
And if it falls
below that, then of course,
00:10:36.88\00:10:40.61
the man may have a
serious problem that
00:10:40.64\00:10:43.65
can be dealt with...
There may be something
00:10:43.68\00:10:47.69
that's unique to him,
that with a very small
00:10:47.72\00:10:51.70
amount of
treatment, he can come out of
00:10:51.73\00:10:54.34
that with no problem.
00:10:54.37\00:10:55.46
No more than 60% of the
spermatozoa may be active
00:10:55.49\00:11:01.95
and still the
man can be fertile.
00:11:01.98\00:11:04.24
But if more than 40% of
the spermatozoa are inactive,
00:11:04.27\00:11:10.36
then he may not be fertile.
00:11:10.39\00:11:12.38
In addition to the
excessive heat of clothing,
00:11:12.39\00:11:16.53
excessive heat of
very hot baths taken daily
00:11:16.56\00:11:20.63
over a prolonged
period of time...
00:11:20.66\00:11:22.75
that can also be a
cause of infertility.
00:11:22.78\00:11:26.18
With the testes not
descended fully into the scrotum
00:11:26.21\00:11:31.16
that can also be another
cause of male infertility.
00:11:31.19\00:11:35.30
Or, varicoceles...
that's a condition that can be
00:11:35.33\00:11:40.32
readily
corrected by a urologist.
00:11:40.35\00:11:43.51
And then, poor nutrition,
other disease like diabetes,
00:11:43.52\00:11:48.95
hardening of the arteries,
illnesses of those kinds can
00:11:48.98\00:11:53.06
certainly be a problem
with causing infertility.
00:11:53.09\00:11:57.65
About 50% of the causes
of infertility in men can be
00:11:57.68\00:12:02.67
successfully treated.
00:12:02.70\00:12:04.17
It may be that high in
women, but it's more difficult
00:12:04.18\00:12:07.42
to make a full assessment
in women, than it is in men.
00:12:07.45\00:12:12.30
Now, I would like for
Dr. Miller to talk with you
00:12:12.33\00:12:15.96
some about infantile colic.
00:12:15.99\00:12:19.07
This is a disorder
in children, in babies
00:12:19.10\00:12:23.70
that usually is self-limited...
that is before the age of 1 year
00:12:23.73\00:12:28.57
usually it's going to go away,
but what can you tell us about
00:12:28.60\00:12:32.29
infantile colic... a
very distressing problem.
00:12:32.32\00:12:36.30
It is very distressing
probably to the point where some
00:12:36.33\00:12:38.31
parents wish they'd been
infertile because it can REALLY
00:12:38.34\00:12:40.82
drive you to distraction
to have a child with that.
00:12:40.85\00:12:43.03
Basically, this is a very
serious problem for a child.
00:12:43.06\00:12:46.60
Excess gas passing up
and down through the tract;
00:12:46.61\00:12:50.15
the child will sit
there and have bloating...
00:12:50.18\00:12:52.18
They'll
sometimes arch their backs,
00:12:52.21\00:12:54.90
or they'll sit there
and draw their legs up.
00:12:54.93\00:12:56.65
They'll just cry
incessantly and it can be very
00:12:56.68\00:12:59.61
disturbing for the whole family.
00:12:59.64\00:13:01.67
And, I suspect some of you
have spent your long nights
00:13:01.70\00:13:05.12
walking the floor,
patting the baby and bouncing
00:13:05.15\00:13:08.05
up and down... and so
strange that the bouncing
00:13:08.08\00:13:09.89
them up and down
seems to do some good,
00:13:09.90\00:13:12.09
and we'll talk about a
good way to do that naturally
00:13:12.12\00:13:14.52
that Dr. Thrash told
me about some years ago...
00:13:14.53\00:13:16.43
But what causes it
in the first place?
00:13:16.46\00:13:19.16
They find that children
who are born in countries
00:13:19.19\00:13:23.55
where there are
not so many drugs used,
00:13:23.58\00:13:25.64
especially drugs that are
used in labor and in delivery
00:13:25.67\00:13:29.07
they have less infantile colic.
00:13:29.10\00:13:32.41
There's something
about the medication,
00:13:32.44\00:13:34.27
because if you're doing
it during labor and delivery,
00:13:34.30\00:13:38.12
that is going to
pass through to the child
00:13:38.15\00:13:40.43
and something is
in that child that
00:13:40.44\00:13:42.24
that child's body is
going to have to deal with,
00:13:42.28\00:13:44.39
and often, it deals with it in
00:13:44.42\00:13:46.27
a manifestation of
a thing like colic.
00:13:46.31\00:13:48.49
It could also be
the child's diet.
00:13:48.52\00:13:50.66
Now, we would
recommend to everyone,
00:13:50.69\00:13:54.28
as far as humanly possible,
that that child be breastfed.
00:13:54.31\00:13:58.51
Breastfeeding the child
is the best way to avoid
00:13:58.54\00:14:01.69
many, many of the
problems... It strengthens the
00:14:01.72\00:14:03.65
child's immune system
for the rest of their life.
00:14:03.68\00:14:06.18
They have shown studies
that they have higher IQs
00:14:06.21\00:14:08.88
But just for the fact
that they're getting good milk
00:14:08.91\00:14:11.54
but only if the mother's
diet is a diet that's going to
00:14:11.57\00:14:16.10
promote her producing good milk.
00:14:16.13\00:14:18.84
The mother cannot be
eating things that going to
00:14:18.87\00:14:21.37
pass through her body,
into the milk, and into the baby
00:14:21.40\00:14:24.66
that's going to cause a problem.
00:14:24.67\00:14:25.96
And so, let's say the
mother is breastfeeding,
00:14:25.99\00:14:28.31
and still the child has lots
of colic... Look at the diet!
00:14:28.34\00:14:32.59
Onions in the diet, broccoli,
brussel sprouts, cabbages...
00:14:32.62\00:14:37.21
all of these things produce lots
of gas when it's passed through
00:14:37.24\00:14:41.16
the milk into the baby,
and these things could be
00:14:41.19\00:14:43.88
causing the colic in the child.
00:14:43.91\00:14:46.65
And so, mother, watch the diet.
00:14:46.68\00:14:49.46
Get a very low gas-forming diet,
00:14:49.49\00:14:51.68
and that's the best
diet for your child.
00:14:51.72\00:14:53.71
If you have not breastfed,
or are not breastfeeding,
00:14:53.74\00:14:57.17
and you're on
some type of formula...
00:14:57.20\00:14:58.92
Almost all infant
formulas have some type of
00:14:58.95\00:15:01.51
dairy products, and
dairy products being
00:15:01.52\00:15:03.22
the #1 food allergen...
that could be your problem.
00:15:03.23\00:15:05.93
Trouble is... on the
other side of the coin,
00:15:05.96\00:15:07.84
SOY can be an
exacerbator of the colic,
00:15:07.87\00:15:11.89
and so soy/dairy, both
of these things and almost
00:15:11.92\00:15:14.91
I don't know that
there's any baby formulas
00:15:14.92\00:15:17.94
without one of
those two things...
00:15:17.97\00:15:19.61
But try one or the other.
00:15:19.64\00:15:21.24
The best thing to do
is go away from the dairy
00:15:21.27\00:15:23.35
into a soy-based product.
00:15:23.38\00:15:26.41
If the child has colic, a couple
of other things you can do.
00:15:26.44\00:15:30.04
You can make some catnip tea.
00:15:30.07\00:15:33.00
Just some nice, warm
catnip tea, put it in a bottle,
00:15:33.03\00:15:35.76
and have the child
take some warm catnip tea.
00:15:35.79\00:15:39.08
If the child is not
taking it, or you don't think
00:15:39.11\00:15:41.49
they're getting
enough, you could also do,
00:15:41.52\00:15:43.37
very gently and very
carefully, a catnip tea enema,
00:15:43.40\00:15:47.54
which will also cause
some of that to be absorbed
00:15:47.57\00:15:50.42
through the intestinal
tract, and that can do
00:15:50.45\00:15:52.48
some good for the child.
00:15:52.51\00:15:53.61
You can also take some
charcoal, put it in water,
00:15:53.64\00:15:56.56
stir it up, let it
settle until you have just a
00:15:56.59\00:16:00.88
darkened water, and
give that to the child,
00:16:00.91\00:16:04.43
in minor amounts... small
amounts, they won't take a
00:16:04.46\00:16:06.47
whole lot... but some of
that into the body will also
00:16:06.50\00:16:09.06
help to take up some of the
gas, and could lessen the colic.
00:16:09.09\00:16:13.52
You could also put warm
compresses over the abdomen
00:16:13.53\00:16:17.06
This could be quite good
to eliminate the colic events.
00:16:17.09\00:16:21.64
The one that Dr. Thrash
recommended some years ago
00:16:21.67\00:16:24.31
when it's something that,
you know if you have a child
00:16:24.32\00:16:26.34
in the home, and you
have a washing machine,
00:16:26.37\00:16:28.13
you're always going
to be doing laundry.
00:16:28.16\00:16:29.56
And so what you do is,
you take a child's seat,
00:16:29.59\00:16:33.02
a car seat, or a
little bassinette,
00:16:33.05\00:16:35.14
and fix-it to the top
of the washing machine
00:16:35.17\00:16:37.82
so it can't jiggle
off... You will stay right there
00:16:37.85\00:16:40.64
in the room with her,
and do a load of laundry.
00:16:40.67\00:16:43.52
Don't put Clorox in because
you don't want her or him
00:16:43.55\00:16:46.40
breathing the Clorox fumes.
00:16:46.43\00:16:49.82
But just do a nice load of
laundry, and just that jiggling
00:16:49.85\00:16:53.42
as the machine works
back and forth, the agitator,
00:16:53.45\00:16:56.72
the spin cycle, that
jiggling will often take away
00:16:56.75\00:17:01.57
the sensation... It will
help the child get over that.
00:17:01.60\00:17:04.78
I know a friend of mine, when
I lived in Key West, Florida,
00:17:04.81\00:17:07.36
she would always,
when the child had colic,
00:17:07.39\00:17:09.76
put the child in a car
seat, strap him into the car
00:17:09.79\00:17:12.36
and go for a drive.
00:17:12.39\00:17:13.59
Just that movement,
that's why we walk the child
00:17:13.62\00:17:15.95
at 3 o'clock in the
morning, patting them...
00:17:15.98\00:17:18.39
that movement
itself... will help move the gas
00:17:18.42\00:17:20.92
and will lessen
the colic events.
00:17:20.95\00:17:22.89
And so, some simple
things you can do that are
00:17:22.92\00:17:25.80
no cost, and very easy to
do for yourself and your child
00:17:25.83\00:17:30.24
They may not remember to
thank you when they're 20,
00:17:30.27\00:17:32.72
but they will certainly
thank you by being quiet,
00:17:32.75\00:17:35.20
and letting all 3 of you
have a good night's rest.
00:17:35.23\00:17:38.33
And I think that's
what we need to do.
00:17:38.36\00:17:40.47
Yes, very good tips on
how to relieve the colic,
00:17:40.50\00:17:45.10
and have everybody
get a good night of sleep.
00:17:45.13\00:17:47.58
It's often the mother who
needs the help... more almost,
00:17:47.61\00:17:51.53
than the baby
because the mother can be
00:17:51.56\00:17:54.04
just about fit-to-be-tied
by the end of the day
00:17:54.07\00:17:56.61
...so she needs a break from
hearing the baby cry all day.
00:17:56.64\00:17:59.66
So, you can be a good
medical missionary by just
00:17:59.67\00:18:02.61
staying with the baby and let
the mother get out of the house
00:18:02.64\00:18:05.44
for a little while.
00:18:05.47\00:18:07.12
For a number of years,
I've had a very LARGE garden.
00:18:07.15\00:18:10.22
I've enjoyed that garden a lot.
00:18:10.25\00:18:13.56
I generally plant the
entire garden with something...
00:18:13.59\00:18:17.49
not always
something that's harvestable.
00:18:17.52\00:18:19.74
But I enjoy planting
flowers in my garden,
00:18:19.75\00:18:24.11
in my vegetable garden,
and I enjoy planting a wide
00:18:24.14\00:18:27.51
variety of different
kinds of vegetables and creeping
00:18:27.54\00:18:32.44
things that come to fruition
sometime during the summer.
00:18:32.47\00:18:37.12
I'd like for Dr. Don
Miller to tell you some of those
00:18:37.15\00:18:41.67
things that are benefits
from an agricultural program
00:18:41.70\00:18:46.33
in your own home.
00:18:46.36\00:18:47.41
Dr. Miller, do you
have a garden yourself?
00:18:47.42\00:18:49.93
Well... no.
00:18:49.96\00:18:53.72
My problem with
gardens is that...
00:18:53.75\00:18:56.19
and I've had
them! I LOVE gardening!
00:18:56.22\00:18:57.64
It's one of my
favorite things to do.
00:18:57.67\00:18:59.05
And I'll plant my nice garden,
and you get it all hoed up,
00:18:59.08\00:19:02.07
and you get everything planted,
00:19:02.10\00:19:03.09
and things start going
up, and then I go to India...
00:19:03.12\00:19:05.20
or I go to
Africa, or I go to Russia
00:19:05.23\00:19:07.39
And I come back,
and I've got pigweed,
00:19:07.42\00:19:09.32
and I've got all kinds
of strange things growing
00:19:09.35\00:19:11.65
in my garden, so I pretty
much ... I go up to her garden!
00:19:11.66\00:19:15.57
Whenever I come home, she says,
"You can take ANYTHING you want,
00:19:15.60\00:19:18.13
because she DOES
have a huge garden!
00:19:18.16\00:19:20.46
And she has a high fence
so the deer can't get it,
00:19:20.49\00:19:22.85
and she will have lots
of stuff in her garden.
00:19:22.88\00:19:25.97
But when I can, I
do plant a garden.
00:19:25.98\00:19:28.98
Years ago, we had a
visiting doctor lecturing at
00:19:29.01\00:19:31.85
Uchee Pines, a very
well-known physician,
00:19:31.88\00:19:34.70
and he was talking about
foods and things like this
00:19:34.73\00:19:37.28
...And someone
raised their hand and said,
00:19:37.31\00:19:39.09
"Well, should we
eat all organic food?"
00:19:39.12\00:19:41.33
And he said something
that I've never forgotten...
00:19:41.34\00:19:44.39
He said, "Well you know,
Americans consume 80% more
00:19:44.42\00:19:47.88
organic food
than they produce. "
00:19:47.91\00:19:50.04
And it took us a minute to
figure out what he just said.
00:19:50.07\00:19:53.11
But basically
what he said was...
00:19:53.14\00:19:54.57
"Just because it says so,
it doesn't mean it IS so. "
00:19:54.58\00:19:56.70
And so the best way to guarantee
that you have organic food
00:19:56.73\00:20:00.19
is you grow it yourself.
00:20:00.22\00:20:01.55
And you know what it is, what
you planted, when you planted it
00:20:01.58\00:20:05.12
You know what you
fertilized it with.
00:20:06.09\00:20:07.50
You know IF you sprayed
it, or if you did not spray it.
00:20:07.53\00:20:10.04
You know every SINGLE
thing about that garden
00:20:10.07\00:20:12.83
because that garden is YOUR
garden, and you're growing it.
00:20:12.86\00:20:15.27
I am one who tends to go
away from things like hybrids
00:20:15.28\00:20:22.11
and, of course,
genetically modified foods.
00:20:22.14\00:20:24.33
And you can guarantee
that you don't have them,
00:20:24.36\00:20:26.61
if you're doing
the gardening yourself.
00:20:26.64\00:20:28.65
And there's something
else about the joy of being
00:20:28.68\00:20:31.44
out into the garden in
the early morning hours
00:20:31.47\00:20:33.72
and just working in the dirt.
00:20:33.75\00:20:35.03
I think there's
something transferred.
00:20:35.06\00:20:36.42
As a matter of fact, when
I've got a good garden going,
00:20:36.43\00:20:39.21
I like to work in my bare feet.
00:20:39.24\00:20:40.66
There's something about
the soil in contact with
00:20:40.69\00:20:44.27
the feet that just
sort of energizes me.
00:20:44.28\00:20:47.07
There's also
other good benefits.
00:20:47.10\00:20:49.17
...As you're
doing your gardening,
00:20:49.18\00:20:50.33
you know, you got to bend
down, you got to stand up,
00:20:50.36\00:20:52.18
you got to bend
down, and stand up.
00:20:52.21\00:20:53.51
Well that's called exercise.
00:20:53.54\00:20:54.91
It's called stretching.
00:20:54.94\00:20:56.91
We find that people who
are really into gardening,
00:20:56.95\00:20:59.98
get plenty of exercise,
they get plenty of stretching,
00:21:00.01\00:21:03.00
and plenty of aerobic exercise.
00:21:03.04\00:21:04.89
Have you ever gone up
about 50 feet of corn rows
00:21:04.92\00:21:08.98
trying to hoe them
out, hoe all the weeds,
00:21:08.99\00:21:11.15
you're getting some
good aerobic exercise.
00:21:11.18\00:21:13.16
So that's one of the other
benefits, it's just getting
00:21:13.19\00:21:15.94
out there and
getting that exercise.
00:21:15.97\00:21:18.39
You got the fresh air,
you've got the sunshine.
00:21:18.42\00:21:20.66
You've got that
contact with nature which is so
00:21:20.69\00:21:23.92
vitally important
when you're out there
00:21:23.95\00:21:26.00
in your particular gardens.
00:21:26.01\00:21:27.92
And, one of my favorite benefits
is you can eat things fresh.
00:21:27.95\00:21:32.84
I mean, we're
talking about really fresh!
00:21:32.87\00:21:35.12
And we don't realize how
important it is to eat things
00:21:35.15\00:21:37.86
fresh... as soon as a
plant is plucked from...
00:21:37.89\00:21:41.05
or a fruit, or a
vegetable is plucked from its
00:21:41.08\00:21:43.69
plant, it starts to
degrade in certain ways.
00:21:43.72\00:21:46.54
But if you can go out
there in your garden, pluck your
00:21:46.57\00:21:49.38
fruit, or your vegetable, go
back into the house and eat it
00:21:49.41\00:21:52.43
right then, you're getting
benefits that you will get
00:21:52.46\00:21:55.19
no other way from your food,
than doing it exactly that way.
00:21:55.22\00:21:58.86
So that's one of the
other very nice benefits
00:21:58.89\00:22:01.20
of going out
there in your garden.
00:22:01.23\00:22:03.34
And gardening is something
that you can do year round.
00:22:03.38\00:22:07.02
I like to grow
sprouts in the house.
00:22:07.05\00:22:09.48
I like to make
some type of little
00:22:09.51\00:22:11.07
hot frames outside my house.
00:22:11.10\00:22:13.63
I just use PVC, and
bend it over against my house
00:22:13.74\00:22:17.02
and plant my plants in there.
00:22:17.05\00:22:18.80
I have some black plastic
that will absorb the sun's rays.
00:22:18.83\00:22:21.71
It's a little bit easier when
you live in a state like Alabama
00:22:21.74\00:22:25.20
You couldn't do
that as much up north,
00:22:25.23\00:22:27.12
but up north, you can
plant things that grow
00:22:27.15\00:22:29.13
UNDER the ground,
like your carrots...
00:22:29.16\00:22:30.89
And then, what you do is,
you heavily mulch over there.
00:22:30.92\00:22:33.66
And you can go out there
in the middle of the winter,
00:22:33.69\00:22:36.20
move your mulch away,
and pull up fresh carrots.
00:22:36.23\00:22:39.16
And so, I'd
recommend you do it that way...
00:22:39.19\00:22:40.86
is have something
growing fresh year round.
00:22:40.89\00:22:43.76
You've got the
benefits of the fresh food,
00:22:43.79\00:22:45.64
you've got the
benefits of the exercise,
00:22:45.67\00:22:48.01
you've got the
benefits of knowing that you've
00:22:48.04\00:22:49.49
done something good.
00:22:49.52\00:22:50.82
And if you do it right, now this
is, I guess this is sort of a
00:22:50.85\00:22:54.39
if you REALLY do it right...
00:22:54.42\00:22:56.03
Normally, it costs more
for your food if you garden
00:22:56.04\00:22:59.79
than if you buy it at the store.
00:22:59.82\00:23:00.93
That's only because we
don't know what we're doing.
00:23:00.96\00:23:02.80
But if you really
get into gardening,
00:23:02.83\00:23:04.75
you're going to
save a lot of money too.
00:23:04.78\00:23:06.82
You save money,
you save your health,
00:23:06.85\00:23:09.07
and you get ALL the
benefits that God has placed
00:23:09.10\00:23:11.49
into His soil and
into His good foods.
00:23:11.52\00:23:14.00
And so, that's what I'd
recommend you do, Dr. Thrash.
00:23:14.03\00:23:16.56
Yes, and I like to
do just as you said,
00:23:16.59\00:23:19.08
when I come home from the
office, I stop by the garden
00:23:19.09\00:23:22.59
pick some fresh things,
and go right in the house
00:23:22.62\00:23:25.15
and prepare those for lunch,
and often in just a matter of
00:23:25.18\00:23:28.37
minutes I can have lunch
on the table with things that
00:23:28.40\00:23:31.77
came FRESH from the garden
00:23:31.80\00:23:33.66
And close on the
heels of gardening...
00:23:33.69\00:23:37.52
is that of housekeeping.
00:23:37.56\00:23:39.27
I'd like to talk about
some of the benefits of good
00:23:39.31\00:23:42.16
housekeeping.
00:23:42.19\00:23:43.44
When a woman, or a man
is good at housekeeping,
00:23:43.47\00:23:47.69
the house can be orderly
all the time, or almost so.
00:23:47.70\00:23:53.41
When a house is neat,
even if you haven't had time to
00:23:53.44\00:23:58.97
dust, or to mop, or vacuum...
00:23:59.00\00:24:01.64
If the house is neat, it
will look clean even if those
00:24:01.67\00:24:05.45
other things are not
done... which might make you
00:24:05.48\00:24:09.16
label it as "not clean"
00:24:09.19\00:24:11.14
But being NEAT,
everything looks good.
00:24:11.17\00:24:15.08
And so I recommend that
if you're the kind of person
00:24:15.11\00:24:18.65
who allows clutter just to
build up, that there be times
00:24:18.68\00:24:22.68
when you de-clutter your house.
00:24:22.71\00:24:24.63
Just go around, get
everything, and I have an apron
00:24:24.66\00:24:28.36
like the apron
that carpenters wear,
00:24:28.39\00:24:30.95
that I put things
in various pockets.
00:24:30.98\00:24:33.64
This pocket is to
go to the bedroom,
00:24:33.67\00:24:35.21
and this pocket is
to go to the bathroom,
00:24:35.24\00:24:37.01
and this pocket is
to go to the kitchen!
00:24:37.04\00:24:38.79
So wherever I find
something that's going to go to
00:24:38.82\00:24:41.64
one of these places, I
simply put it in that pocket
00:24:41.67\00:24:44.69
...then when I'm in that room,
I put it in its proper place.
00:24:44.72\00:24:48.65
And often, within a
matter of minutes, I can have my
00:24:48.68\00:24:52.06
whole house all freshly
tidied up and looking nice.
00:24:52.09\00:24:56.64
There's nothing like the joy of
going to bed in a very neat home
00:24:56.65\00:25:02.64
You can make your
house a little bit of heaven.
00:25:02.67\00:25:06.95
There should always
be sunshine in your home.
00:25:06.98\00:25:10.21
That sunshine of
your presence there.
00:25:10.24\00:25:12.73
Now, another benefit of a
tidy and orderly and clean home,
00:25:12.76\00:25:18.46
is that it reduces allergies.
00:25:18.49\00:25:20.84
People who have allergies,
if the drapes and the curtains
00:25:20.87\00:25:27.45
are dusty, and the
carpet has not been vacuumed
00:25:27.48\00:25:31.11
in a month or 2, they're going
to have a lot more allergies
00:25:31.14\00:25:35.29
than the person who does not
have that kind of environment.
00:25:35.32\00:25:39.37
So, there are a number
of benefits besides the
00:25:39.40\00:25:43.94
satisfaction of having
a neat and orderly home...
00:25:43.97\00:25:46.84
that can give you good health.
00:25:46.87\00:25:50.19
Now, there are some other health
issues that Dr. Don Miller
00:25:50.22\00:25:55.81
will talk with you about.
00:25:55.84\00:25:57.12
I know that Dr. Miller had
a bad cough not very long ago,
00:25:57.15\00:26:01.84
so maybe he'll talk
with us about that now.
00:26:01.87\00:26:04.43
I thought I was going to die.
00:26:04.46\00:26:05.93
I hate having coughs.
00:26:05.96\00:26:07.17
I did have a very severe cough,
00:26:07.20\00:26:09.52
and there are some
things you can do for coughs.
00:26:09.53\00:26:11.57
There are some severe
coughs, and there are just some
00:26:11.60\00:26:13.72
normal coughs.
00:26:13.75\00:26:14.85
I would say the #1 cough,
and the #1 reason for the cough
00:26:14.86\00:26:19.39
is dehydration, and
the best cough medicine is
00:26:19.42\00:26:21.73
just drink some water.
00:26:21.76\00:26:22.91
If you've ever been there, in a
service, maybe a church service,
00:26:22.94\00:26:27.06
or a speech, and
someone is up there talking...
00:26:27.07\00:26:29.74
pretty soon they start
coughing and... cough, cough
00:26:29.77\00:26:31.79
it's one of these
things, a little dry cough.
00:26:31.82\00:26:33.90
Immediately, someone goes
running out and comes back in
00:26:33.93\00:26:36.78
and sets a glass
of water up there...
00:26:36.81\00:26:38.38
And immediately they take a sip,
00:26:38.41\00:26:39.76
and they're
perfectly fine for a while.
00:26:39.80\00:26:41.64
So the best thing to do,
first of all for a cough,
00:26:41.67\00:26:43.94
is to drink some water.
00:26:43.97\00:26:45.43
There are other
things you can do.
00:26:45.46\00:26:46.94
There are some very nice
cough medicines you can make.
00:26:46.97\00:26:49.88
Take a lemon, juice a lemon,
add some honey to the lemon,
00:26:49.91\00:26:54.05
add a little bit of
eucalyptus oil to that...
00:26:54.08\00:26:56.96
And then take
small amounts of this...
00:26:56.99\00:26:58.78
It's very
soothing to the throat.
00:26:58.79\00:27:00.33
Basically, a cough is
a reflex action telling
00:27:00.36\00:27:03.58
the body, "There's something
down here, let's get rid of it "
00:27:03.61\00:27:06.82
As we drink our
water, we hydrate the lungs,
00:27:06.85\00:27:09.29
allow the mucus to be
a little bit less viscous
00:27:09.32\00:27:12.72
so things can move
out much better off.
00:27:12.75\00:27:15.65
You can also make sort of
a poultice of cayenne pepper.
00:27:15.66\00:27:19.42
Take a quart of water and boil
it, add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne
00:27:19.45\00:27:22.92
pepper, and then dip a
cloth in there, wring it out,
00:27:22.95\00:27:26.45
when it's able to be touched,
wrap that around the throat.
00:27:26.48\00:27:30.30
That is very nice
to help with the cough.
00:27:30.33\00:27:34.43
There are other
things you can do...
00:27:34.44\00:27:35.85
cough drops... I
like certain ones that are
00:27:35.88\00:27:38.55
nice, but make your
own, drink your water
00:27:38.58\00:27:41.31
and you won't have so
many problems with the coughs.
00:27:41.32\00:27:43.99
Very good...
00:27:44.02\00:27:45.37
And I hope the next
time you have a cough,
00:27:45.40\00:27:47.65
that some of these
remedies will help you.
00:27:47.68\00:27:49.59
I just love talking
about remedies because people
00:27:49.62\00:27:52.74
feel better when
they use a good remedy!
00:27:52.78\00:27:55.04
