Hello! I get
pretty excited about
00:00:01.98\00:00:03.08
home remedies because they
are simple, they are inexpensive
00:00:03.11\00:00:07.40
and they are very effective,
and in addition to all of that
00:00:07.43\00:00:11.00
they are extremely safe.
00:00:11.03\00:00:12.94
It is an unusual thing
for someone to get hurt by a
00:00:12.97\00:00:17.27
home remedy, especially if
they use those simple things
00:00:17.30\00:00:20.82
that are just about the home
at all times, such things as
00:00:20.85\00:00:24.11
pots, and cloths, and
water, and heat and cold.
00:00:24.14\00:00:28.77
So if you like to study
about home remedies and like to
00:00:28.80\00:00:32.29
learn some new uses for some
old things, then we invite you
00:00:32.32\00:00:35.79
to stay with us
for this program.
00:00:35.82\00:00:37.67
Welcome to Help
Yourself To Health
00:00:57.76\00:01:00.40
with Dr. Agatha Thrash
of Uchee Pines Institute,
00:01:00.43\00:01:03.59
and now here is
your host Dr. Thrash.
00:01:03.62\00:01:06.72
Not the least of the
benefits of home remedies is the
00:01:06.75\00:01:13.17
extreme safety of
them, for instance herbs.
00:01:13.20\00:01:18.07
Herbal remedies are incredibly
safe for the most part
00:01:18.10\00:01:21.85
there are a few that have some
side effects, but almost all
00:01:21.88\00:01:26.33
the side effects
that an herb can have,
00:01:26.36\00:01:28.29
the drug that you might
use to substitute for the herb
00:01:28.32\00:01:32.73
might have a lot more and
a lot more serious effects
00:01:32.76\00:01:38.36
on the human body, so if
you do use herbs, the important
00:01:38.39\00:01:41.67
thing is to learn those
that are safe and are effective
00:01:41.70\00:01:45.60
and just stay with
those that you know about.
00:01:45.63\00:01:48.92
Now herbs don't make up a
large part of what we talk about
00:01:48.95\00:01:53.85
but some things that
might be classified as herbs
00:01:53.88\00:01:57.47
are such things as charcoal,
that can be called an herb.
00:01:57.50\00:02:02.62
But then we can use mild
things like catnip tea and
00:02:02.65\00:02:07.79
Valerian root and a
wide variety of other herbs,
00:02:07.82\00:02:13.01
so I like the herbs as well
they are what could be called
00:02:13.04\00:02:16.45
a home remedy.
00:02:16.48\00:02:17.56
There are many home
remedies that require devices,
00:02:17.59\00:02:20.98
such devices as a blender,
or a mixer, or a double boiler,
00:02:21.01\00:02:29.06
or a slow cooker, these are
also things that may be used
00:02:29.09\00:02:34.72
in home remedies.
00:02:34.75\00:02:35.99
Today I would like to show
you a number of these things
00:02:36.02\00:02:39.73
that we have learned
through the years can be helpful
00:02:39.76\00:02:43.20
can be very useful in the
making of the home remedies.
00:02:43.23\00:02:47.12
So I would like to start
with some simple things that
00:02:47.15\00:02:51.92
might be helpful
for say a kidney stone,
00:02:51.95\00:02:54.94
and for a kidney stone
discussion I will ask my son
00:02:54.97\00:03:00.04
Cal Thrash to join me here
so that we can tell about a
00:03:00.07\00:03:06.31
personal experience,
Cal welcome to the program!
00:03:06.34\00:03:09.29
- Ok! Thank you! -
I'm happy that you could
00:03:09.33\00:03:10.81
be here today, and I'd like
to talk a bit about this device.
00:03:10.84\00:03:15.79
I think it may have been this
very device that we used when
00:03:15.82\00:03:20.33
we were treating
your kidney stones.
00:03:20.36\00:03:22.22
- I was going to say why
were you going to ask me about
00:03:22.25\00:03:24.27
a kidney stone, maybe because
I've had personal experience
00:03:24.30\00:03:27.70
with it. - Yes!
We have treated a
00:03:27.73\00:03:30.84
kidney stone for
some time for you.
00:03:30.87\00:03:32.94
Now I'd like to ask you,
what do you remember about
00:03:33.11\00:03:37.01
a kidney stone as
the worst experience?
00:03:37.04\00:03:39.63
- Oh! It's the pain by all
means, in fact the first day
00:03:39.66\00:03:44.35
that I really knew
that I had a kidney stone,
00:03:44.38\00:03:46.58
I didn't know
what was happening.
00:03:46.61\00:03:48.97
I was talking with someone else
we were looking at estimating
00:03:49.00\00:03:51.92
a building, standing there
and as he talked I felt myself
00:03:51.95\00:03:55.90
bending over and pretty
soon I was down here like this
00:03:55.93\00:03:59.05
and I said you carry on,
I think I'm going to go now
00:03:59.08\00:04:01.96
and you could not
find a comfortable position
00:04:01.99\00:04:05.34
no matter what it was not...
00:04:05.37\00:04:06.60
- You'd twist to the left
and you'd twist to the right.
00:04:06.63\00:04:08.09
- It didn't matter
you sit down and stand up
00:04:08.12\00:04:10.36
in fact the only thing that
I could do was just to kind of
00:04:10.39\00:04:13.62
pace back and forth in this
kind of position, lying down
00:04:13.65\00:04:16.77
didn't work, standing
up didn't really feel good,
00:04:16.80\00:04:19.46
it was miserable. -
Yes! It's a miserable thing,
00:04:19.50\00:04:23.08
in fact I have spoken
with women who have both had a
00:04:23.11\00:04:26.56
kidney stone and a baby,
and they say the stone is by far
00:04:26.59\00:04:32.19
the worst of the... -
That's what I've heard,
00:04:32.22\00:04:34.33
I've only experienced
one of those of course.
00:04:34.36\00:04:37.61
- A woman would never choose
to have the pain of a baby a
00:04:37.64\00:04:42.16
second time, but far be it from
her to choose a second time for
00:04:42.19\00:04:46.77
a kidney stone.
00:04:46.80\00:04:47.81
- Oh yes!
00:04:47.84\00:04:48.81
- Now when we learned
that you had a kidney stone,
00:04:48.82\00:04:52.57
we had it diagnosed
by a Urologist down town,
00:04:52.60\00:04:56.35
and do you
remember what he said to me?
00:04:56.38\00:04:59.14
- He said you will never
pass that stone, it's to big
00:04:59.17\00:05:04.48
it's not going to work, and
so we're going to have to do
00:05:04.51\00:05:08.23
something, probably try to
go up with a basket and snare it
00:05:08.26\00:05:11.09
or perhaps push it back
into the kidney and go for
00:05:11.12\00:05:13.63
lithotripsy, and the lithotripsy
of course being at that time
00:05:13.66\00:05:17.30
about $10,000 and my
wife said well I think you can
00:05:17.33\00:05:20.75
withstand a lot of pain for
$10,000, so that wasn't done.
00:05:20.78\00:05:24.29
- Well considering the fact
that the stone was big enough
00:05:24.32\00:05:30.02
that the Urologist
after he had studied your case
00:05:30.05\00:05:33.44
said that this stone is to
big to pass, and then he said
00:05:33.47\00:05:37.78
it's to big and to far
up to snare with a basket.
00:05:37.81\00:05:40.83
- That's right! - So
his only treatment was
00:05:40.86\00:05:43.11
lithotripsy. - That's right!
00:05:43.14\00:05:44.56
- So you said let's
try for awhile with some
00:05:44.59\00:05:48.65
simple remedies.
00:05:48.68\00:05:49.65
- Right!
00:05:49.66\00:05:50.63
- So let's see if we
can remember the number
00:05:50.64\00:05:52.88
of herbs that you
used, I remember stone root.
00:05:52.92\00:05:55.57
- Stone root! gravel
root, marshmallow root,
00:05:55.60\00:05:59.84
and I believe licorice
root, there may have been one
00:05:59.87\00:06:05.12
or two others that I can't
remember off the top of my head
00:06:05.15\00:06:08.03
but those were the main ones.
00:06:08.06\00:06:09.95
- I remember one time when you
were having a good bit of pain
00:06:09.98\00:06:13.51
that we tried some
rather off beat things,
00:06:13.54\00:06:15.91
one thing was a
magnet, do you remember that?
00:06:15.94\00:06:19.13
- That's true! - When
a man came to Uchee Pines
00:06:19.16\00:06:22.05
and he said have you ever
tried a magnet for pain, "NO!"
00:06:22.08\00:06:25.04
well they're using it up
at Warm Springs Foundation
00:06:25.07\00:06:28.27
you know, which is the
Roosevelt Foundation for Polio,
00:06:28.30\00:06:32.14
back before polio
sort of played out.
00:06:32.17\00:06:34.99
Then it became a foundation
for the treatment of just
00:06:35.02\00:06:39.94
skeletal diseases, so we thought
well if they're using it at
00:06:39.97\00:06:45.34
Warm Springs Foundation, that's
a really very steady mainstream
00:06:45.37\00:06:51.88
investigative
type of organization,
00:06:51.91\00:06:55.48
if they are using it
there it must be pretty good.
00:06:55.51\00:06:57.39
So we used a magnet for you,
do you remember if that helped?
00:06:57.42\00:07:00.76
- I couldn't really say if
it helped to much, to me it
00:07:00.79\00:07:05.10
seemed like it did but
it's very difficult to say
00:07:05.13\00:07:08.03
I can say that probably the
thing that helped the quickest
00:07:08.06\00:07:11.41
and almost the most consistently
was a very hot bath that
00:07:11.44\00:07:17.05
affected the area where the
pain was, which of course was
00:07:17.08\00:07:20.10
generally speaking in
your back, and the idea here
00:07:20.13\00:07:24.19
of course is not the same kind
of thing that we try to do with
00:07:24.22\00:07:27.75
hot half-bath which is
try to raise the temperature.
00:07:27.78\00:07:30.25
The idea is to relax the smooth
muscle to relieve the pressure
00:07:30.28\00:07:35.05
on the kidney because
the kidney wasn't designed to
00:07:35.08\00:07:37.13
hold the urine, it was another
organ for that, so it makes a
00:07:37.16\00:07:42.30
considerable amount of pain
that constricts there and then
00:07:42.33\00:07:45.55
and you end out getting
pressure there on the ureter
00:07:45.58\00:07:48.63
and so what we did, and
I remember that it was a
00:07:48.66\00:07:51.94
nurse anesthetist that told
me about this treatment is was
00:07:51.97\00:07:54.50
very effective to try to
hang out of the bath tub as much
00:07:54.53\00:07:59.08
as you can but put that area
just of the area of your back
00:07:59.11\00:08:02.68
that really hurt the
worse into the hot water,
00:08:02.71\00:08:05.07
as hot as you could stand
it, and remain there for an hour
00:08:05.10\00:08:09.24
and you kind of have to
hang out of the bath tub to stay
00:08:09.27\00:08:12.19
in the hot water, the water
is as hot as you can stand it
00:08:12.22\00:08:13.80
for an hour
because it's pretty hot.
00:08:13.83\00:08:15.61
- You get to sweating I'm
pretty sure even with hanging
00:08:15.64\00:08:18.58
out of the bath tub. -
Now the point is that within
00:08:18.61\00:08:20.85
about 10 minutes you'll
begin to feel better, in fact
00:08:20.88\00:08:23.88
you'll think hey! the pain
is subsiding, I think I can
00:08:23.91\00:08:26.24
get out now.
00:08:26.27\00:08:27.24
Don't do that, you may
need to get out to urinate
00:08:27.25\00:08:30.06
because you will feel
like you need to urinate pretty
00:08:30.09\00:08:32.04
quickly, as soon as the pressure
begins to relieve around the
00:08:32.07\00:08:34.74
stone a little bit.
00:08:34.77\00:08:35.87
- The urine that has collected
up above the stone passes
00:08:35.90\00:08:40.04
down into the bladder. - Right!
00:08:40.07\00:08:41.43
- Then you will begin to
feel as if you need to urinate.
00:08:41.46\00:08:44.34
- Right! But as soon as you
get finished go right back into
00:08:44.37\00:08:47.51
the hot bath, if you don't
you are looking for more pain
00:08:47.54\00:08:50.87
and perhaps even trip to
the hospital where it may not
00:08:50.90\00:08:54.01
work as well the second
time as it did the first time.
00:08:54.04\00:08:57.28
So don't get out when you
start feeling a little better
00:08:57.31\00:08:59.82
make sure you stick
with it for the whole hour.
00:08:59.85\00:09:01.76
- Yes! I love the hot half-bath
it's useful for so many things
00:09:01.79\00:09:05.49
it's useful for the flu
and colds and all sorts of
00:09:05.52\00:09:09.26
skeletal problems and as
we've just heard it's good for a
00:09:09.29\00:09:12.92
kidney stone.
00:09:12.95\00:09:13.92
Now just briefly I'd like to
explain what we did with this
00:09:13.93\00:09:18.14
I don't think this helped
at all but somebody told us
00:09:18.17\00:09:21.69
if you'll use a vibrator on
the back just over the place
00:09:21.72\00:09:25.47
where the major portion of
the pain is, that will help
00:09:25.50\00:09:28.41
so we dutifully did that,
and I remember that you drank
00:09:28.44\00:09:32.74
about two quarts of water
within about a half an hour.
00:09:32.77\00:09:35.61
I was going to say there
was a little bit of preparation
00:09:35.64\00:09:37.63
that was necessary
before the massage took place,
00:09:37.66\00:09:41.72
we did I think about as much
water as I'd ever had to drink
00:09:41.75\00:09:47.09
in my whole life,
all in one sitting.
00:09:47.12\00:09:50.07
- Yes! - It seems
like it was something
00:09:50.10\00:09:52.28
to the tune of about four
liters or maybe more than that
00:09:52.31\00:09:55.67
I can't remember, as much
as I could get down was what we
00:09:55.70\00:09:57.98
tried to do. -
Within an hour you had
00:09:58.02\00:09:59.89
more than a gallon. -
We had really pumped the
00:09:59.92\00:10:02.74
water in then of
course then tried with the...
00:10:02.77\00:10:04.67
- And another thing that
we did was magnesium sulfate
00:10:04.70\00:10:07.85
and that is very helpful,
that magnesium sulfate will
00:10:07.88\00:10:11.15
help relax the smooth
muscle, that's Epsom salts,
00:10:11.18\00:10:13.88
and then we use this vibrator,
I don't really think it
00:10:13.91\00:10:18.16
did any good, but it's held
on the back and the stone is
00:10:18.19\00:10:23.81
supposed to vibrate
down the ureter and pass out
00:10:23.84\00:10:27.36
into the bladder.
00:10:27.39\00:10:28.36
So some remedies that you
hear about for a kidney stone
00:10:28.37\00:10:31.73
may be good and some may
not be so good, but you may
00:10:31.76\00:10:36.08
want to try ever one,
except the one that we think
00:10:36.11\00:10:40.03
really helped Cal the
most and that was the one on
00:10:40.06\00:10:43.83
New Year's Day
wasn't it. - That's right!
00:10:43.86\00:10:44.98
- On New Year's Day! -
A friend of yours came to
00:10:45.01\00:10:46.81
visit I remember. -
Right! Big burly guy!
00:10:46.84\00:10:49.78
- And he said you're such a
little twerp I could just turn
00:10:49.81\00:10:53.98
you upside down and shake you.
00:10:54.01\00:10:55.37
- That's right, and he
did, and he turned me on my head
00:10:55.40\00:10:58.72
and tickled my feet a
little bit and I wrenched around
00:10:58.75\00:11:01.60
a little bit and
almost immediately I felt like
00:11:01.63\00:11:03.91
I need to go to the
bathroom and passed that stone
00:11:03.94\00:11:05.97
almost immediately.
00:11:06.00\00:11:06.97
- Because I can remember
you called me and said "Mom
00:11:07.00\00:11:09.02
what would you like as
a New Year's Day present?"
00:11:09.05\00:11:10.90
I said nothing could please
me more than to see your stone
00:11:10.93\00:11:15.89
he said well
I'll show it to you.
00:11:15.92\00:11:17.35
- Yep, I'll show it to you
and it was an unusual looking
00:11:17.38\00:11:19.94
little thing too. -
Yes it was it was barbed
00:11:19.97\00:11:22.76
and burrs all over it so I
can see why the urologist said
00:11:22.80\00:11:27.12
it would never
pass, it was to large.
00:11:27.15\00:11:29.56
- Than God it did! -
Yes, we certainly were very
00:11:29.59\00:11:33.11
grateful for that.
00:11:33.14\00:11:35.09
Ok! You have anything else that
you would like to talk about?
00:11:35.12\00:11:38.19
- Well I thought I would talk a
little bit about a sore throat,
00:11:38.22\00:11:40.66
you know we had talked
about charcoal before, one thing
00:11:40.69\00:11:44.15
that I like that's very
effective for sore throats
00:11:44.18\00:11:46.57
when you are just beginning
to get a cold is to use a zinc
00:11:46.60\00:11:50.29
lozenge and as long as you
can use the sugar free variety
00:11:50.32\00:11:53.53
and keep it in your mouth
and they say only to use one
00:11:53.56\00:11:57.86
maybe every few hours, but if
you can stand the little bit of
00:11:57.89\00:12:01.96
stomach upset that comes
with zinc it's good to keep
00:12:01.99\00:12:05.93
your throat bathed with that
zinc for quite a little while
00:12:06.58\00:12:09.68
and I've actually been able
to fight off a sore throat and
00:12:09.71\00:12:12.56
a cold just with that alone
and of course being careful
00:12:12.59\00:12:15.73
not to be more chilled and
to make sure I'm not eating
00:12:15.76\00:12:20.35
anything that has any more
sugar in it, all of those things
00:12:20.38\00:12:23.80
being something that would
make you have more likely hood
00:12:23.83\00:12:26.60
to have a cold which is not
what you want to do when you're
00:12:26.63\00:12:28.88
just coming down
with a sore throat.
00:12:28.91\00:12:30.50
- Precisely! - But
one thing that is helpful
00:12:30.53\00:12:32.69
if you do have a sore
throat and it doesn't seem to be
00:12:32.72\00:12:36.41
going away, and to help
fight the pain and actually to
00:12:36.44\00:12:38.52
help with taking up some of
the viruses that are present
00:12:38.55\00:12:43.81
there is to use a charcoal
tablet, you have to use these
00:12:43.84\00:12:47.35
old fashioned variety
that we have in Uchee Pines.
00:12:47.38\00:12:52.22
The new ones that have come
out are designed to dissolve
00:12:52.25\00:12:54.90
very quickly and so they don't
actually have the lozenge effect
00:12:54.93\00:12:59.66
but these are hard enough that
they will dissolve slowly and
00:12:59.69\00:13:02.84
bathe the throat with the
charcoal which of course is
00:13:02.87\00:13:04.66
what you are trying to do, and
it really does relieve the pain
00:13:05.08\00:13:08.59
quite well. - Well
this kind of tablet
00:13:08.62\00:13:12.00
just fit behind a
tooth, couldn't it?
00:13:12.03\00:13:14.49
- It could! - Ok, very good!
00:13:14.52\00:13:16.84
Well I like that treatment for
a sore throat, do you ever do
00:13:16.87\00:13:20.94
anything else for a sore throat,
the zinc lozenge, the charcoal
00:13:20.97\00:13:23.92
lozenge, do you
ever do a gargle?
00:13:23.95\00:13:26.18
- We have recommended gargles
in the past quite honestly
00:13:26.21\00:13:31.10
they don't work as well on
me as they do on other people.
00:13:31.13\00:13:33.59
- Ok, now I wanted you to
mention that because not every
00:13:33.62\00:13:37.63
remedy that we say for
one person is going to work
00:13:37.67\00:13:40.15
for everybody. - That's true!
00:13:40.19\00:13:41.29
- So you have to pick and choose
what you are going to use and
00:13:41.43\00:13:44.86
find out those remedies
that are the best for you.
00:13:44.89\00:13:48.17
- And of course you wouldn't
want to leave the subject of
00:13:48.20\00:13:51.55
sore throat without talking
about the heating compress
00:13:51.58\00:13:53.71
a little bit. - The
heating compress is a
00:13:53.74\00:13:55.15
very good... A cold
cloth, then the plastic
00:13:55.18\00:13:59.00
wrap and then a
bandage to hold it on.
00:13:59.03\00:14:01.41
- Right! - Yes!
We talk about these
00:14:01.44\00:14:03.44
we tell about these and
our books on Natural Remedies
00:14:03.47\00:14:06.51
and Home Remedies, both of
which can be obtained from an
00:14:06.54\00:14:10.14
ordinary book store or from
our book store at Uchee Pines.
00:14:10.17\00:14:13.79
Thank you so much for
joining us today on the program.
00:14:13.82\00:14:19.74
Now I would like to have another
of my assistants to join me
00:14:19.77\00:14:23.73
Dr. Don Miller and Dr.
Miller has a wide experience in
00:14:23.76\00:14:29.98
treating people not only
in this country but in various
00:14:30.01\00:14:33.70
parts of the world, Uchee
Pines sends him to the far flung
00:14:33.73\00:14:38.43
recesses of the world.
00:14:38.46\00:14:39.98
Dr. Miller what have
you learned about soy beans?
00:14:40.01\00:14:44.82
- Ahhh! I've learned
one really important thing.
00:14:44.85\00:14:47.70
- What is that? - They
become my favorite food!
00:14:47.73\00:14:50.10
- Yes! And its a good food to
eat and it's good to the taste,
00:14:50.13\00:14:54.66
is there any other
reason why you like it so much?
00:14:54.69\00:14:57.44
- First let me recommend
to people how best to eat
00:14:57.47\00:14:59.70
these things, green soybeans
steamed with a little bit
00:14:59.73\00:15:03.20
of salt, it's one of
the most fantastic flavors,
00:15:03.23\00:15:06.34
I ran into this in Japan.
00:15:06.37\00:15:07.61
Now Japan one of the longest
lived people, they live for a
00:15:07.64\00:15:12.77
long time there, very healthy
bunch of people and they eat
00:15:12.80\00:15:16.58
a lot of soy.
00:15:16.62\00:15:17.70
Soy has many good products, or
many good phytochemicals inside
00:15:17.73\00:15:22.67
this tiny little white bean.
00:15:22.70\00:15:24.58
Now let me say this sometimes
it's what we take in to replace
00:15:24.61\00:15:30.70
something else that's our
benefit, this has both of the
00:15:30.73\00:15:34.14
benefits, because
many people they eat a lot,
00:15:34.17\00:15:37.44
and drink a lot of milk,
well if you drink soy milk
00:15:37.47\00:15:39.99
it's replacing dairy milk.
00:15:40.02\00:15:42.01
- Yes! - We know that there are
00:15:42.04\00:15:43.82
five things that are predisposed
to prostate cancer: meat,
00:15:43.85\00:15:47.85
milk, eggs, cheese, and
being overweight, the first four
00:15:47.88\00:15:52.37
leads to number five, all
five lead to prostate problems
00:15:52.40\00:15:56.05
whether it's going to be
prostate cancer or just an
00:15:56.08\00:15:59.07
enlarged prostate and so we
find if you take something like
00:15:59.10\00:16:02.91
soy and as a replacement
its making soy milk which is an
00:16:02.94\00:16:07.20
extremely good food, it's going
to give you the replacement
00:16:07.23\00:16:11.56
factor plus there are the phyto-
chemicals in there one of them
00:16:11.59\00:16:16.20
is genistein, this has an angio-
genesis factor, all tumors
00:16:16.24\00:16:22.51
when you start developing a
tumor if it gets large enough
00:16:22.54\00:16:25.21
has to have a blood supply,
that's called angio-genesis
00:16:25.24\00:16:28.44
it starts building, we've
got these little growth factors
00:16:28.47\00:16:31.24
in our body that causes
us to build a blood network
00:16:31.27\00:16:35.63
and this is a good thing if
you are working out with weights
00:16:35.66\00:16:38.04
you are building more muscle
mass, your body builds more
00:16:38.07\00:16:41.43
blood capillaries
to feed those muscles.
00:16:41.46\00:16:44.70
Same thing with the tumor
as the tumor grows we get this
00:16:44.73\00:16:48.43
growth of the network of
capillaries but this genistein
00:16:48.46\00:16:54.90
in the soy beans
stops that process.
00:16:54.93\00:16:58.74
- Anti-angiogenesis
factor. - Right!
00:16:58.77\00:17:01.16
And that's extremely important.
00:17:01.20\00:17:03.02
- Yes it is, now about soybeans,
you mentioned about milk
00:17:03.05\00:17:07.24
being extremely
good, it's very nourishing,
00:17:07.27\00:17:09.57
what would say if I told
you that I liked commercial
00:17:09.60\00:17:14.42
soy milks and the
sweeter the better.
00:17:14.45\00:17:16.80
- Well there's a few problems
with commercial soy milks
00:17:16.83\00:17:20.54
you read the ingredients
and they look pretty good and
00:17:20.57\00:17:23.70
for the most part they are
totally vegan and that is good
00:17:23.73\00:17:27.68
but there's that one thing
down there called carrageenan
00:17:27.71\00:17:29.92
and that is from a seaweed
00:17:29.95\00:17:34.20
but this acts as
a glue and it's not
00:17:34.23\00:17:37.51
the most healthy thing in
the body either, and so I would
00:17:37.54\00:17:40.99
rather make my
own, with just soy.
00:17:41.02\00:17:42.77
- And then of course
the sugar and the purified
00:17:42.80\00:17:46.90
protein derivatives and other
things and generally speaking
00:17:46.93\00:17:51.18
it's better to make your own
soy milk and the soy milk maker
00:17:51.21\00:17:55.19
such as you can see here... A
soy milk maker can be obtained
00:17:55.22\00:17:59.49
now I think for under a hundred
dollars and if you use soy milk
00:17:59.52\00:18:04.21
a lot, it's money well spent.
00:18:04.24\00:18:07.27
- The nice thing about
many of your soy milk makers is
00:18:07.30\00:18:11.34
once you've made the
milk, what's left over,
00:18:11.37\00:18:13.59
what do you call
that's left over?
00:18:13.62\00:18:14.59
- That's called the
okara! - Okara looks like okra.
00:18:14.60\00:18:17.30
- Yes and you can use that
in so many ways, you can use it
00:18:17.33\00:18:20.94
in breads and
waffles and stews, soups.
00:18:20.97\00:18:23.89
- We got a Japanese woman
at Uchee Pines who is a marvel
00:18:23.92\00:18:26.21
with things and she can
make pies out of this okara.
00:18:26.24\00:18:29.07
- Oh yes, and another thing
that our cook at Uchee Pines
00:18:29.10\00:18:32.98
who is Japanese and
does wonders with foods.
00:18:33.01\00:18:35.72
What she has is these
soy beans that she gets from
00:18:35.75\00:18:41.76
the Asian markets that are
still in the shell and it ends
00:18:41.79\00:18:46.75
with mommy, do you
remember the name of that?
00:18:46.78\00:18:48.87
- No I don't! - I
can't think of the name
00:18:48.90\00:18:50.96
of it right now but it's
a conversation piece in this
00:18:51.00\00:18:54.28
country, so you just
take a handful and put that on
00:18:54.31\00:18:58.68
a little plate and serve that
to people either hot or cold
00:18:58.71\00:19:02.57
and they are
absolutely delightful.
00:19:02.60\00:19:05.79
- Oh, they make me big
bags when I'm traveling in Japan
00:19:05.82\00:19:08.43
because they
know that this is...
00:19:08.46\00:19:09.88
If you liked cheese back
when you used to eat cheese,
00:19:09.91\00:19:13.58
it's got sort of a cheesy flavor
and almost a cheesy consistency.
00:19:13.61\00:19:17.60
- Yes! - I you
just sit there and bite,
00:19:17.63\00:19:19.17
I just bite them and
squeeze them off my mouth.
00:19:19.20\00:19:21.24
- That's the way that
people eat them, whether they
00:19:21.27\00:19:22.93
open them up or whether
they pop them into the mouth by
00:19:22.96\00:19:26.43
the process of pulling the
pod, but at any rate it's soy
00:19:26.46\00:19:31.28
I like very much. - Yes!
00:19:31.31\00:19:32.37
- I appreciate your telling
us about soy, thank you so much.
00:19:32.40\00:19:36.49
Now there are many other
remedies that we can talk about
00:19:36.52\00:19:42.10
and soy has so many
good remedies: anti-cancer,
00:19:42.13\00:19:46.27
anti-osteoporosis,
anti- prostate enlargement,
00:19:46.30\00:19:50.42
anti-breast cancer,
so many good remedies,
00:19:50.45\00:19:54.06
even if a person already
has osteoporosis and they take
00:19:54.09\00:19:57.94
a lot of soy products, just
as little as a quarter cup of
00:19:57.97\00:20:02.74
cooked soybeans per day
that can be so beneficial for
00:20:02.77\00:20:08.42
osteoporosis that
has already developed.
00:20:08.45\00:20:10.96
Now I have asked Rhonda Clark
to join me today and I can see
00:20:10.99\00:20:18.71
by what you have, that you
have some remedies to show us.
00:20:18.74\00:20:22.58
- Yes, I have a remedy
that involves a snorkel
00:20:22.61\00:20:25.02
of all things. - I
like to go snorkeling
00:20:25.05\00:20:26.92
in the ocean!
00:20:26.95\00:20:28.16
- Well this is a snorkeling
in a basin, and it's one of the
00:20:28.19\00:20:30.67
best treatments for relieving
sinus pressure and congestion
00:20:30.70\00:20:34.10
and I've asked our assistant
Miss Arianna Hartsfield to come
00:20:34.13\00:20:37.67
and join me today, we're going
to be demonstrating a treatment
00:20:37.70\00:20:40.69
known... - Come
right up in here!
00:20:40.73\00:20:42.65
Thanks Arianna, a treatment
known as a facial contrast bath.
00:20:42.68\00:20:47.38
The principle behind this
treatment is to put hot and cold
00:20:47.41\00:20:51.78
alternating water over
the entire face, submerging
00:20:51.81\00:20:55.87
all these sinus areas and the
nasal passage ways in the water
00:20:55.90\00:20:59.71
to help relieve congestion,
bring an influx of circulation
00:20:59.74\00:21:03.94
to the area to help fight
the infection, and because the
00:21:03.97\00:21:07.14
treatment takes a little
longer period of time that one
00:21:07.17\00:21:09.46
can hold their
breath, we use a snorkel.
00:21:09.49\00:21:12.25
Now Arianna will demonstrate
how this works for us
00:21:12.28\00:21:17.14
and I wanted to show some of
the equipment in addition to the
00:21:17.17\00:21:19.08
snorkel that we
use for this treatment.
00:21:19.11\00:21:21.01
On the table here I have placed
two basins and at home you need
00:21:21.04\00:21:25.42
nice deep basins or pots,
you might even have a sink
00:21:25.45\00:21:29.11
that's deep enough that you
can put your face clear down in
00:21:29.14\00:21:31.91
and you want the water not
to cover the ears, but to cover
00:21:31.94\00:21:35.40
over the chin up to the bottom
of the ears, around the forehead
00:21:35.43\00:21:39.36
the entire face.
00:21:39.39\00:21:40.65
You'll need one for very hot
water, as hot as you can take it
00:21:40.68\00:21:45.16
on the face, the other will
be cold water, in fact it's nice
00:21:45.19\00:21:48.11
to have some ice cubes floating
around in there to make a nice
00:21:48.14\00:21:51.12
contrast between the two.
00:21:51.15\00:21:53.42
You may notice that I have also
handily kept a box of Kleenex
00:21:53.45\00:21:57.91
nearby as this treatment
goes along you will start having
00:21:57.94\00:22:02.02
secretions coming
from your nose and sinuses,
00:22:02.05\00:22:04.85
so it's nice to have some
Kleenex handy and then of course
00:22:04.88\00:22:07.46
a towel for
finishing the treatment.
00:22:07.49\00:22:09.39
If Arianna will put
the snorkel in the mouth,
00:22:09.42\00:22:12.38
the snorkels are easily obtained
at any department store,
00:22:12.41\00:22:15.71
I paid just $5.00 for this
at a local department store
00:22:15.74\00:22:18.91
there is a place that you
bite with you teeth an the lips
00:22:18.94\00:22:21.97
come over just as Arianna is
demonstrating, and this is just
00:22:22.00\00:22:25.42
to keep breathing through
the mouth during the treatment.
00:22:25.45\00:22:28.43
You begin in the basin with
the hot water, and you will see
00:22:28.46\00:22:31.65
Arianna will dip her face
clear down into the hot water
00:22:31.68\00:22:33.94
she's breathing through the
snorkel, and she will want to
00:22:33.97\00:22:37.61
stay in the hot water for about
three minutes, it really goes by
00:22:37.64\00:22:41.39
quickly, next then she will
want to without drying off her
00:22:41.42\00:22:45.70
face move right over into the
ice water, and as her assistant
00:22:45.73\00:22:51.42
while she is in the ice water,
I'll be adding a little more
00:22:51.45\00:22:54.56
hot water to the basin, she'll
only be in the ice water for
00:22:54.59\00:22:57.73
thirty seconds, then she'll
switch back over into the hot
00:22:57.76\00:23:01.13
and as she's back in the
hot I will go ahead and add
00:23:01.16\00:23:04.31
maybe a couple more
ice cubes to the cold.
00:23:04.34\00:23:06.70
We'll do five rotations, maybe
more, depending how congested
00:23:06.73\00:23:11.38
the sinuses are, how much
pain she has, someone says they
00:23:11.41\00:23:14.64
always do seven
rotations because seven is the
00:23:14.67\00:23:16.97
perfect number and
there is nothing wrong with
00:23:17.00\00:23:18.80
seven rotations.
00:23:18.83\00:23:19.82
Then to finish just have
them lift their head a little
00:23:19.85\00:23:23.12
over the basin, they
will actually be over the cold
00:23:23.15\00:23:25.24
ice water basin as they
finish, lift their head up just
00:23:25.27\00:23:28.90
a little bit, they can remove
the snorkel and set it down
00:23:28.93\00:23:31.75
and you are drip, drip,
dripping, so here's a towel
00:23:31.78\00:23:34.57
and we'll pat your face, and
it's amazing how the secretions
00:23:34.60\00:23:39.08
will begin to flow and
you did a good job, thank you.
00:23:39.11\00:23:42.68
Thanks so much... And
the relief of the pressure
00:23:42.71\00:23:49.39
in the sinuses is just
incredible, this also can help
00:23:49.42\00:23:52.49
clear up an infection of
the sinuses because of the
00:23:52.52\00:23:54.89
stimulation it does for
the immune system in that area.
00:23:54.92\00:23:57.32
I was really excited to
share that with you today!
00:23:57.35\00:24:01.40
- Yes! Thank you so much, I
like this treatment very much.
00:24:01.43\00:24:04.18
The thing that is so good
is that the entire sinus system
00:24:04.21\00:24:10.10
can be treated all at one time.
00:24:10.13\00:24:12.15
- Yes! - Now I
like this treatment
00:24:12.18\00:24:15.68
because it is a treatment
for glaucoma, but there are
00:24:15.71\00:24:20.01
other ways that you can
work with glaucoma, do you know
00:24:20.04\00:24:23.85
some of these other ways
that you would like to share?
00:24:23.88\00:24:25.97
- I do, one thing that is
interesting about glaucoma,
00:24:26.00\00:24:28.30
I found this fascinating, when
you are drinking water and it's
00:24:28.33\00:24:31.91
very important to drink
water, when you have glaucoma
00:24:31.94\00:24:34.62
you should be sure to drink it
in sips over the course of day
00:24:34.65\00:24:37.43
rather than in
large amounts at once.
00:24:37.46\00:24:39.36
In one study they found
that individuals who drank
00:24:39.39\00:24:41.98
a quart of water over 30 min
which isn't an especially fast
00:24:42.01\00:24:45.83
rate for me as you try to
keep plenty of water going in,
00:24:45.86\00:24:49.07
there was an increase in
the intraocular pressure.
00:24:49.10\00:24:51.61
- What do you
know! - Very surprising!
00:24:51.64\00:24:53.08
- Do you know if it
also increases blood pressure
00:24:53.11\00:24:55.98
to drink a lot of water at
one time, did they say anything
00:24:56.01\00:24:59.29
about that? - They
didn't, that sounds an
00:24:59.32\00:25:01.44
interesting possibility.
- We should do a study
00:25:01.47\00:25:03.87
about that at Uchee
Pines. - That sounds very good!
00:25:03.90\00:25:06.83
- Well thank
you so much! - Sure!
00:25:06.86\00:25:08.38
- I appreciate your
being on the program today.
00:25:08.41\00:25:11.00
- I'm very delighted
to be here, thank you!
00:25:11.03\00:25:12.47
- Now there are some other
things that I think should be
00:25:12.50\00:25:15.72
in our home health kit, besides
some of these that I mentioned,
00:25:15.76\00:25:21.75
and one is a simple magnifying
glass so that splinters and
00:25:21.78\00:25:28.08
little lesions can be examined
carefully, and one can carefully
00:25:28.11\00:25:34.82
look over the toenails and
fingernails to see if anything
00:25:34.85\00:25:39.57
may be growing in some
place that it shouldn't grow
00:25:39.60\00:25:43.29
and if we have some kind of
mole or other kind of facial
00:25:43.32\00:25:48.89
lesion or lesion on the hands,
one may need to have someone
00:25:48.92\00:25:53.28
look at these lesions to
see as if they are threatening.
00:25:53.31\00:25:58.44
Now another thing that I
use a lot is cayenne extract
00:25:58.47\00:26:04.66
and you can purchase that
commercially with a product
00:26:04.69\00:26:09.25
named "Heat."
00:26:09.29\00:26:10.41
Heat doesn't cost a lot,
but it has a little applicator
00:26:10.45\00:26:15.50
which is very nice and this
has cayenne, and a number of
00:26:15.53\00:26:20.55
other medicinal things in it,
and it can be rubbed on places
00:26:20.58\00:26:25.37
where there are chronically
painful areas, such as
00:26:25.40\00:26:31.02
chronic back aches, and chronic
knee aches, and the bottoms of
00:26:31.05\00:26:35.55
the foot when a
person has plantar fascitis,
00:26:35.58\00:26:38.63
now you can make your own
but it isn't as nice as having
00:26:38.66\00:26:42.71
something like this
which you can commercially get
00:26:42.74\00:26:45.32
for just a little.
00:26:45.35\00:26:46.42
There is also a tube of Zostrix
or other cayenne extract which
00:26:46.45\00:26:51.72
you can purchase at a pharmacy
that also can be used for the
00:26:51.75\00:26:55.66
very same things, it seems
that these commercial things
00:26:55.69\00:26:59.95
are a little more handy
than just putting cayenne pepper
00:26:59.98\00:27:05.64
in some rubbing alcohol
and dipping a cotton swab in it
00:27:05.67\00:27:11.46
and using that for the back
pain, or the knee pain, or the
00:27:11.49\00:27:15.12
plantar fascitis, maybe
it's those things we buy and
00:27:15.15\00:27:18.77
have to pay money for,
they may be more effective.
00:27:18.80\00:27:22.40
I like to have this kind of
device, it's just a scrubber
00:27:22.43\00:27:27.39
for the back for people who
have trouble relaxing before
00:27:27.42\00:27:30.92
they go to bed, and if they
just scratch the back all over
00:27:30.95\00:27:36.42
with such a device as this, it
will often cause them to relax
00:27:36.45\00:27:41.41
and if you got a back ache,
it can help a back ache a bit
00:27:41.44\00:27:45.45
and often people can sleep who
otherwise might not be able to
00:27:45.48\00:27:50.24
sleep. May the
Lord Bless you with
00:27:50.27\00:27:53.17
more simple
remedies even than these.
00:27:53.20\00:27:55.60
