Hello! World over I suppose
other countries know more
00:00:01.98\00:00:05.70
in the way of home remedies
than we do in this country
00:00:05.73\00:00:09.05
but as I have traveled around
the world I have learned many
00:00:09.08\00:00:14.41
home remedies.
00:00:14.44\00:00:15.41
We will be talking about
some of these home remedies in
00:00:15.42\00:00:17.89
our program today, and
so we hope you will join us.
00:00:17.92\00:00:20.53
Welcome to Help
Yourself To Health
00:00:40.10\00:00:42.82
with Dr. Agatha Thrash
of Uchee Pines Institute
00:00:42.85\00:00:46.01
and now here is
your host Dr. Thrash.
00:00:46.04\00:00:49.02
Everywhere I go I ask
people for various remedies for
00:00:52.14\00:00:56.55
diseases, and often
somebody tells me a remedy that
00:00:56.58\00:01:00.93
I've never heard of before,
and so some of these remedies
00:01:00.96\00:01:04.56
I'm going to talking with you
about today and my assistants
00:01:04.59\00:01:08.51
will help me to present
other remedies some of which
00:01:08.54\00:01:12.09
I have heard of and
some of which I have not.
00:01:12.12\00:01:14.46
So today I have some things
that most everybody has heard of
00:01:14.49\00:01:20.18
and knows all about and one
is something that you should
00:01:20.21\00:01:24.75
have somewhere
about your equipment.
00:01:24.78\00:01:28.48
If you do much in the way
of hiking in mountainous areas
00:01:28.51\00:01:32.34
this is a splint for a leg
and so you may want to have
00:01:32.37\00:01:36.94
that in your equipment.
00:01:36.97\00:01:38.79
Now if you have someone in
your home who becomes an invalid
00:01:38.82\00:01:42.54
then you may want a device
such as this is, this little
00:01:42.57\00:01:46.24
device can help you if you
are in bed for a long time,
00:01:46.27\00:01:52.03
you simply extend the
end of it as you can see here
00:01:52.06\00:01:55.48
and then you can pick up a lot
of things it has a good bit of
00:01:55.51\00:01:58.52
force as you can see it's
putting a good bit of pressure
00:01:58.55\00:02:01.12
on my finger.
00:02:01.15\00:02:02.48
So you can pick up things
and draw those thing back to you
00:02:02.51\00:02:06.41
so that when you are lying
in bed you don't have to call
00:02:06.44\00:02:09.87
somebody every
time you want something.
00:02:09.90\00:02:11.83
I don't think it would pick
up a glass with water in it but
00:02:11.86\00:02:15.87
it will pick up a lot of things
and that can help you a lot.
00:02:15.90\00:02:19.58
I have found that
something called White Oak Bark
00:02:19.61\00:02:23.99
can be most helpful for people
who have a problem with a lot of
00:02:24.02\00:02:31.83
tonsillitis and pharyngitis, and
laryngitis, to make the tissues
00:02:31.86\00:02:41.00
less swollen and to make
it so they can talk better so
00:02:41.03\00:02:44.68
White Oak Bark,
very good for that.
00:02:44.71\00:02:48.04
And then Red Clover is also
good, many companies produce
00:02:48.07\00:02:55.29
this, but the Red Clover is
very good for women who have
00:02:55.32\00:02:59.90
menopausal symptoms,
it's good for people who have
00:02:59.93\00:03:04.09
menstrual upsets, like
prolonged menstrual bleeding,
00:03:04.12\00:03:08.40
it's also very good for painful
menstruation, and I like that
00:03:08.43\00:03:12.43
very much.
00:03:12.46\00:03:13.48
Then I have here a
substance called Nutribiotic and
00:03:13.51\00:03:19.36
Nutribiotic is a very thick
liquid and you can see here
00:03:19.39\00:03:24.66
that it is quite a thick liquid,
it is made from grapefruit seed
00:03:24.69\00:03:31.58
and about eight drops of
this in a quart of water will
00:03:31.61\00:03:36.40
give you a very bitter water
but it's quite good for a cold
00:03:36.43\00:03:42.41
or a sore throat and if
you are in a position where you
00:03:42.44\00:03:45.30
really don't want to come
down, you really don't have time
00:03:45.33\00:03:48.88
to indulge yourself with
a few days in bed nursing
00:03:48.91\00:03:53.20
such an affliction, then
you may want to get something
00:03:53.23\00:03:57.05
of that nature.
00:03:57.08\00:03:58.07
Here is Chaparral
another good anti-viral material
00:03:58.10\00:04:04.00
and I like this very much,
I think that the anti-viral
00:04:04.03\00:04:08.62
properties of it have
been under valued and can be
00:04:08.65\00:04:13.74
very helpful to people,
it's an herb that grows out west
00:04:13.77\00:04:17.84
and you can get it in tincture
or you can make a tea from it,
00:04:17.87\00:04:22.88
it has also been used
in anti- cancer substance.
00:04:22.91\00:04:27.52
I have in my home kit something
like this, it's an otoscope
00:04:27.55\00:04:35.51
and an ophthalmoscope and
you are very familiar with those
00:04:35.54\00:04:38.94
you will not need an
ophthalmoscope for sure,
00:04:39.03\00:04:41.23
but you might need an otoscope
especially if you have elderly
00:04:41.26\00:04:45.15
people or children in
your home, to look in the ear
00:04:45.18\00:04:49.05
to see if the ear drum or
the ear canal may have something
00:04:49.08\00:04:53.37
in it or might be inflamed,
and in old people to see if
00:04:53.40\00:04:57.30
they have an ear
canal filled with wax.
00:04:57.33\00:04:59.77
So the wax that an old
person has can be very deafening
00:04:59.80\00:05:06.42
for them so that they can
get so that they cannot hear
00:05:06.45\00:05:09.06
anything.
00:05:09.09\00:05:10.09
I like these under patient
bed pads, they are very good for
00:05:10.12\00:05:14.15
a wide variety of things,
and one thing that I use it for
00:05:14.18\00:05:17.17
is to make a charcoal compress.
00:05:17.20\00:05:19.87
If I need to make a charcoal
compress to go over the entire
00:05:19.90\00:05:23.45
back as for a person
who has a kidney failure,
00:05:23.48\00:05:28.52
then I'll make the charcoal
substance and I'll open it up
00:05:28.55\00:05:34.51
and you'll see this little filmy
part here that the chucks has
00:05:34.54\00:05:41.26
and you'll just open it up, and
then you can put the charcoal
00:05:41.29\00:05:45.80
powder on the part that has
the cotton on it, and then put
00:05:45.83\00:05:52.82
the filmy part back down
and the charcoal is all in here,
00:05:52.85\00:05:57.97
you can put that on the
back of a person who has kidney
00:05:58.00\00:06:03.41
failure and the next morning
when you take this material off
00:06:03.44\00:06:09.77
you will find that it smells
like urine, and indeed the
00:06:09.80\00:06:15.15
charcoal will adsorb into itself
the toxins that the person
00:06:15.19\00:06:22.04
who has the kidney
failure will be giving off,
00:06:22.07\00:06:26.57
so chucks are very good
to have on hand as well.
00:06:26.60\00:06:29.85
Now I have a back brace
that can be used when a person
00:06:29.88\00:06:36.11
does not have a back ache, or
it can be used after the person
00:06:36.14\00:06:39.68
already has a back ache and
I have asked Arianna Hartsfield
00:06:39.71\00:06:43.78
if she will come with me
and help me to show you this
00:06:43.81\00:06:48.47
very nice little device.
00:06:48.50\00:06:51.49
Arianna is one of our students
in our elementary school
00:06:51.52\00:06:55.48
and she will help me with this,
so it is simply used in this way
00:06:55.51\00:07:01.45
it is placed on the person's
mid back so that it rests
00:07:01.48\00:07:07.66
a little bit above and a little
bit below, and then it simply
00:07:07.69\00:07:13.06
goes around the person,
it fits on like that and fits
00:07:13.09\00:07:18.02
together with the Velcro,
then they wear it all day
00:07:18.05\00:07:22.90
when they're doing their
work and it can be most helpful
00:07:22.93\00:07:27.04
for them, it makes it so
that when they bend, they bend
00:07:27.07\00:07:30.81
in a very helpful way.
00:07:30.84\00:07:33.28
Now Arianna if you will just
stay here with me I've asked
00:07:33.31\00:07:38.32
Miss Rhonda Clark if she
would tell us something about
00:07:38.35\00:07:43.86
how to handle pigmented scars
and other problems that can be
00:07:43.89\00:07:49.85
very threatening to the
cosmetic health of a person.
00:07:49.89\00:07:56.66
What can you
tell us about scars?
00:07:56.69\00:07:58.29
- When someone has a
fresh wound or a fresh incision,
00:07:58.32\00:08:01.48
once the sutures have been
removed and the wound is sealed
00:08:01.51\00:08:05.32
you should begin regularly
massaging that area using some
00:08:05.36\00:08:08.69
type of a lubricant on the
skin, you could use something
00:08:08.72\00:08:11.49
as simple for
example as olive oil.
00:08:11.52\00:08:13.42
Olive oil is a wonderful
lubricant and you might if you
00:08:13.45\00:08:16.09
wish even add a few drops
of Aloe Vera gel to that to add
00:08:16.12\00:08:21.59
a nice healing component to
the olive oil, something just to
00:08:21.62\00:08:25.79
smooth and lubricate the skin
on that area, that will help
00:08:25.82\00:08:30.48
prevent a scar from
really building up heavily help
00:08:30.51\00:08:34.41
prevents as much of the keloid
type tissue from developing
00:08:34.44\00:08:37.57
and it's important that the
person should avoid the sunlight
00:08:37.60\00:08:40.62
with the fresh scar since that
can be a contributing factor
00:08:40.65\00:08:43.56
to the darkening of scars.
00:08:43.59\00:08:45.02
- I have found that for people
who tend to develop keloids
00:08:45.05\00:08:49.73
that if they take a very simple
diet, low in fats, low in sugar,
00:08:49.76\00:08:55.55
low in heavy proteins, a totally
plant based diet for about
00:08:55.58\00:09:01.72
two or three months after
heavy injuries of some kind,
00:09:01.75\00:09:07.42
serious injuries that one could
expect would result in keloid
00:09:07.45\00:09:11.43
formation which is the humped
up scar that can be so disabling
00:09:11.46\00:09:16.48
and unsightly that that can
be of help too, but I'm glad
00:09:16.51\00:09:20.57
to learn about
this other for a keloid.
00:09:20.61\00:09:23.12
- Yes! If a scar is heavily
pigmented and it's a fresh scar,
00:09:23.15\00:09:26.61
a new scar, one of the
things that is recommended is
00:09:26.64\00:09:29.33
something called Rose Hip Oil,
it's high in retinoids and you
00:09:29.36\00:09:33.89
may think of Retinol or Retin
A some medications that are used
00:09:33.92\00:09:37.76
in acne.
00:09:37.79\00:09:40.01
It can have the process of
lightening that scar and helping
00:09:40.04\00:09:44.35
it to continue it's
final healing stages without
00:09:44.38\00:09:47.53
darkening, if you have a
scar that is pigmented and it's
00:09:48.50\00:09:51.43
one that you have had for
awhile there are some things
00:09:51.46\00:09:53.90
that you can try, they are not
always effective but they are
00:09:53.93\00:09:56.28
certainly worth giving a try.
00:09:56.31\00:09:57.66
One that I have brought to
demonstrate on Miss Hartsfield
00:09:57.69\00:10:00.76
is a simple slice of cucumber,
I have just placed it here
00:10:00.79\00:10:05.22
in a little aluminum foil, but
a slice of cucumber has quite
00:10:05.25\00:10:09.12
a moistness to it, and it
is this cucumber juice that is
00:10:09.15\00:10:13.82
the lightening
agent in dark scars.
00:10:13.85\00:10:17.25
On Arianna's hand here
she a very small but slightly
00:10:17.28\00:10:21.99
pigmented scar and the cucumber
juice can be very easily
00:10:22.02\00:10:26.21
applied, just a thin
application is all that is
00:10:26.24\00:10:28.68
needed, it's just rubbed
lightly over the area and this
00:10:28.71\00:10:32.46
would be left on overnight and
then just simply rinsed away.
00:10:32.49\00:10:35.41
You can see here on the side
of her hand she has another one,
00:10:35.44\00:10:38.89
this is good for people who
have acne scars that have been
00:10:38.92\00:10:42.02
pigmented, or any type
of scar that has a heavier
00:10:42.05\00:10:45.61
pigmentation to it. -
So it just dries and she
00:10:45.64\00:10:48.65
wears it over night? - Yes!
00:10:48.68\00:10:49.86
- And then the next day she
could apply more if she wished.
00:10:49.89\00:10:52.58
- Yes! And it's surprising
how much juice is in even a
00:10:52.61\00:10:55.84
thin slice of cucumber,
one or two slices should be all
00:10:55.87\00:10:58.29
that is needed even to use
on the entire face if their acne
00:10:58.32\00:11:01.41
is gone. - Does it
depigment normal skin?
00:11:01.44\00:11:04.83
- It shouldn't, it should
really focus on the scar area.
00:11:04.86\00:11:09.60
Some others that we know of
are lemon juice and lime juice
00:11:09.63\00:11:13.76
those both have a bleaching
property and that can be used in
00:11:13.79\00:11:17.66
conjunction with the cucumber
juice, you can even blend
00:11:17.69\00:11:20.73
a little cucumber and
lime together in a blender soak
00:11:20.76\00:11:23.50
cotton balls in that and then
use those cotton balls to apply
00:11:23.53\00:11:26.97
to a larger area that
has darkly pigmented skin.
00:11:27.00\00:11:29.76
So those are a few
tips for treating scars.
00:11:29.79\00:11:33.69
- Thank you so much!
- You are very welcome!
00:11:33.72\00:11:35.65
- I appreciate very
much showing us this.
00:11:35.68\00:11:37.41
Thank you Arianna! -
And I had brought something
00:11:37.76\00:11:40.72
else to talk about today,
which is another thing that I
00:11:40.75\00:11:43.48
just happen to cross.
00:11:43.51\00:11:44.48
One of my responsibilities
in my work at Uchee Pines is to
00:11:44.49\00:11:48.02
council people who call on the
telephone with medical questions
00:11:48.05\00:11:50.62
and we recently had a call
asking about natural treatments
00:11:50.65\00:11:54.03
for glaucoma.
00:11:54.06\00:11:55.52
I had not researched this in
the past and found a few things
00:11:55.55\00:11:58.74
that I thought were interesting
that may be of interest to you.
00:11:58.77\00:12:01.28
For glaucoma it's of course
important to avoid anything that
00:12:01.31\00:12:05.66
increases the pressure inside
the eye, this is what eventually
00:12:05.70\00:12:08.94
damages the sight, and so things
to avoid include caffeine,
00:12:08.97\00:12:13.86
tobacco smoke, and even if
you don't smoke, if you were
00:12:13.89\00:12:18.01
around second hand smoke very
much at all, this can contribute
00:12:18.04\00:12:21.47
to an increased intraocular
pressure, so avoid even
00:12:21.50\00:12:24.63
second hand smoke.
00:12:24.66\00:12:26.80
Exercise is very beneficial,
in fact one study said
00:12:26.83\00:12:29.29
that walking 40 minutes four
times a week had an entire group
00:12:29.32\00:12:34.46
of people with glaucoma
come completely off of their
00:12:34.49\00:12:37.02
medications, their prescription
eye drops, so I thought that was
00:12:37.05\00:12:40.65
rather interesting.
00:12:40.68\00:12:41.65
- We know that some of the
same things that treat glaucoma
00:12:41.66\00:12:44.90
which is increased pressure
in the eye will also treat
00:12:44.93\00:12:48.39
high blood pressure and
walking is a very treatment for
00:12:48.42\00:12:52.52
high blood pressure. -
High blood pressure indeed!
00:12:52.55\00:12:54.44
- Some other things that were
helpful were to avoid any kind
00:12:54.93\00:12:57.45
of an allergen, if you are
allergic to pet dander, molds,
00:12:57.48\00:13:01.10
pollens, any of those things,
limit them in your environment
00:13:01.13\00:13:04.09
as much as possible, avoid
activities that are straining
00:13:04.12\00:13:07.93
or that are heads down, so
no hand stands or head stands
00:13:07.96\00:13:12.07
for you, and when you protect
your eyes with sun glasses it's
00:13:12.10\00:13:16.78
important to get a
level that is appropriate.
00:13:16.81\00:13:19.32
On the sunglasses it should say
they block up to 400NM of the
00:13:19.35\00:13:27.04
UV rays, that's the appropriate
prescription of sunglasses
00:13:27.07\00:13:30.94
to have to protect your
eyes in the event of glaucoma.
00:13:30.97\00:13:33.72
Controlling hypertension,
blood sugar are very important
00:13:33.75\00:13:37.53
and increasing the intake of
vegetables and fruits that are
00:13:37.56\00:13:41.44
high in vitamin C, vitamin
A, and also the whole grains
00:13:41.47\00:13:45.28
which have some of the trace
minerals of zinc, chromium,
00:13:45.31\00:13:48.53
these things are all beneficial
for someone with glaucoma.
00:13:48.56\00:13:51.27
- Very good! These are lifestyle
changes that are within the
00:13:51.30\00:13:54.32
reach of everyone. - Yes!
00:13:54.35\00:13:56.03
- Thank you so
much! - You are welcome!
00:13:56.06\00:13:57.11
I am glad to be here to share.
00:13:57.14\00:13:58.74
- Now notice that lifestyle
changes are within the reach
00:13:58.77\00:14:03.33
of everyone, simple things
like a cucumber, and walking,
00:14:03.36\00:14:09.25
and a change in diet.
00:14:09.28\00:14:11.13
Now I have asked Dr. Donald
Miller to tell us a little bit
00:14:11.16\00:14:16.14
about the prostate.
00:14:16.17\00:14:17.51
Welcome to the
program Dr. Miller!
00:14:17.54\00:14:19.51
- Thank you! - I see
that you have a device
00:14:19.54\00:14:21.84
here that you will tell us
about concerning the prostate.
00:14:21.87\00:14:24.67
- Yes! Well let's talk about
the prostate as an organ first
00:14:24.70\00:14:27.80
and we are going to show
you the prostate on a screen
00:14:27.83\00:14:30.54
and talk to you about how
it operates and things that
00:14:30.57\00:14:33.28
keep it from operating properly.
00:14:33.31\00:14:35.79
They say that almost
everybody over the age of 80,
00:14:35.82\00:14:38.69
every man of course over
the age of 80 will have prostate
00:14:38.72\00:14:42.18
problems but I don't think this
is something that has to happen
00:14:42.21\00:14:45.97
it's our lifestyle
that is our main thing.
00:14:46.00\00:14:48.16
You can see on the screen
the large blue bulb on the top
00:14:48.19\00:14:52.31
is the bladder, it goes
down it passes though the middle
00:14:52.34\00:14:56.17
of the prostate, the prostate
is about the size of a walnut
00:14:56.20\00:14:59.91
and this urethra goes
right down the middle of it
00:14:59.94\00:15:03.43
and if anything happens to the
prostate, in a swelling action.
00:15:03.46\00:15:06.92
Of course anything that's
got a lumen it's got a hole
00:15:06.95\00:15:09.34
in the middle will swell
out and it will swell in,
00:15:09.37\00:15:12.66
this is the proper way
that it is supposed to look
00:15:12.69\00:15:15.11
and it's just supposed to
be that nice prostate there,
00:15:15.14\00:15:18.16
the urine passes through
this in and out of the body.
00:15:18.19\00:15:22.78
Then next slide is going to
tell you some of the problems
00:15:22.81\00:15:26.13
that we can have, and some
of these things as that prostate
00:15:26.16\00:15:29.68
gets in a problem, it starts
to grow a little bit large,
00:15:29.71\00:15:32.53
you are going to have
some resistance in that urethra
00:15:32.56\00:15:35.90
you are going to squeeze
down on that urethra and you are
00:15:35.93\00:15:39.25
going to have decreased
force in the stream of urine.
00:15:39.28\00:15:41.92
Now these things can be
basically diagnostic if you find
00:15:41.95\00:15:46.64
that man I try to go to the
bathroom and I don't get much
00:15:46.67\00:15:50.28
out and sometimes I got
this great desire but it's
00:15:50.31\00:15:54.11
intermittent, sometimes it
does, sometimes it doesn't,
00:15:54.14\00:15:57.52
and like there is
something wrong inside.
00:15:57.55\00:16:00.12
The next slide is going to tell
us a little bit more about these
00:16:00.15\00:16:02.95
problems and
one you've got this:
00:16:02.98\00:16:08.12
basically the bladder is sort
of squeezed to get the urine out
00:16:08.15\00:16:14.58
but if it's not working
properly you got this frequency,
00:16:14.61\00:16:17.78
that means that you got to
go to the bathroom quite often
00:16:17.81\00:16:20.04
because you've got this urgency
which is the next thing there,
00:16:20.07\00:16:23.27
I've got to go, I've got to
go, and then you've got this
00:16:23.30\00:16:25.85
nocturia which means that at
night time you've got to get up
00:16:25.88\00:16:28.14
frequently, trouble is you get
up and you go because it's still
00:16:28.17\00:16:32.50
frequent and you've got
this urgency but you don't have
00:16:32.53\00:16:35.69
much coming out, you
are not storing much,
00:16:35.72\00:16:39.63
so these are some
problems with the prostate.
00:16:39.66\00:16:43.11
- Yes, and I can see that
it's the growth of the prostate
00:16:43.14\00:16:46.10
that squeezes on the urethra,
then the bladder overgrows
00:16:46.13\00:16:50.10
that detrusor muscle over grows
and that makes it so that the
00:16:50.13\00:16:54.58
bladder can't hold quite as
much as it did and the bladder
00:16:54.61\00:16:57.68
becomes more sensitive.
00:16:57.71\00:16:59.11
- It's a vicious cycle!
- It is a vicious cycle.
00:16:59.14\00:17:01.12
- Now when we talk about
prostate problems I first have
00:17:01.16\00:17:03.97
to point out that there
are certain lifestyle factors
00:17:04.00\00:17:06.90
that's going to lead to the
problem, rather than talking
00:17:06.93\00:17:09.52
about lots of remedies,
to remedy the problem once we
00:17:09.55\00:17:13.42
have it, let's talk about
just a few very minor things...
00:17:13.45\00:17:17.38
A few things that
I can mention to you:
00:17:17.41\00:17:19.30
1. Those who eat a lot
of lycopene, red fruits and
00:17:19.33\00:17:22.96
vegetables, 10 servings a week
will reduce you likely hood of
00:17:22.99\00:17:27.21
prostate cancer by 45%.
- Wow! That's significant.
00:17:27.24\00:17:30.50
- That is very significant.
- Makes me like tomatoes and
00:17:30.53\00:17:33.25
watermelon even more.
00:17:33.28\00:17:34.53
- And the neat thing...
You know people go on to these
00:17:34.56\00:17:36.94
all raw diet type of things,
the thing about the tomato
00:17:36.97\00:17:40.78
is cooked is
even more effective.
00:17:40.81\00:17:42.81
- I heard that, that it
concentrates the lycopene,
00:17:42.84\00:17:46.02
and it does not destroy
it nor damage it in any way.
00:17:46.05\00:17:49.28
- The last thing I was thinking
about was phytochemicals,
00:17:49.31\00:17:51.29
they are not damaged by heat,
God has made just what we need
00:17:51.32\00:17:55.87
to take care of
ourselves and so ten servings
00:17:55.90\00:17:58.78
of red vegetables and fruits
a week is not a real hardship
00:17:58.82\00:18:03.02
case, how about strawberries
and the watermelon in the
00:18:03.05\00:18:06.14
summer time.
00:18:06.17\00:18:07.14
- I could go for
that diet very easily.
00:18:07.15\00:18:08.69
- I like that
diet very much too.
00:18:08.72\00:18:09.91
Another thing that
promotes the prostate cancer,
00:18:09.97\00:18:14.32
those who frequently
drink dairy milk over those who
00:18:14.35\00:18:18.26
infrequently drink dairy
milk have a 50% greater risk
00:18:18.29\00:18:21.93
of prostate cancer.
00:18:21.96\00:18:23.38
So those who have been telling
you drink your milk every day,
00:18:23.41\00:18:26.25
that's not the very
best thing for your prostate,
00:18:26.28\00:18:29.12
and if you are a
man, or even for a woman,
00:18:29.15\00:18:31.40
because it's leading to all
kinds of problems with women,
00:18:31.43\00:18:33.42
with breast
cancer, and osteoporosis.
00:18:33.45\00:18:36.88
- You mean milk
might cause osteoporosis?
00:18:36.91\00:18:39.03
- Absolutely it does! -
Yes, apparently every country
00:18:39.06\00:18:42.64
of the world where there is
a high milk intake there's a
00:18:42.67\00:18:44.57
big incidence of osteoporosis
in women, so it's apparently
00:18:44.60\00:18:49.15
part of the problem and
not part of the solution.
00:18:49.18\00:18:50.73
- Absolutely! Another thing that
is rather interesting if your
00:18:50.76\00:18:54.11
resting pulse rate is
over 80 you have a greater risk
00:18:54.14\00:18:58.92
of prostate cancer,
and so what does that mean?
00:18:58.95\00:19:01.82
You are not getting enough
exercise, and exercise in itself
00:19:01.85\00:19:05.24
is protective and it's curative.
00:19:05.27\00:19:08.12
- Yes it strengthens the
muscles of the pelvis for a man
00:19:08.15\00:19:13.34
and that massages the prostate
and makes it more healthy.
00:19:13.37\00:19:18.27
- Messages the prostate, which
is one of the things that we
00:19:18.30\00:19:20.48
can do perhaps sometimes to
help the prostate once you've
00:19:20.51\00:19:24.21
already developed a
problem, it's sort of a
00:19:24.24\00:19:25.65
digital massaging.
00:19:25.68\00:19:27.67
But there are other things
that we can do, we recommend
00:19:27.70\00:19:29.90
sometimes, hot sits
baths, now this is not just for
00:19:29.93\00:19:33.31
prostate cancer or an enlarged
prostate, it's good also for
00:19:33.34\00:19:39.54
hemorrhoids or fissures, and
that's just sitting in a bucket
00:19:39.57\00:19:44.14
of hot water, very
soothing and very healing.
00:19:44.17\00:19:47.19
But there is a little device
that came out a few years ago
00:19:47.22\00:19:50.66
basically for hemorrhoids and
anal fissures which we've also
00:19:50.69\00:19:54.49
have heard it is good to
be used for prostate cancer
00:19:54.52\00:19:58.89
and it's this little device
that's called a thermotherapy
00:19:58.92\00:20:03.44
device, and what it does
is that it's got a little wand
00:20:03.47\00:20:08.26
if I can call it a wand,
a magic wand, that inserts
00:20:08.29\00:20:12.52
into the anus, into the rectum
and when it's in there you
00:20:12.55\00:20:18.31
turn on the temperature dial,
it goes between about 37- 45°
00:20:18.34\00:20:22.25
we usually start it
about 38- 39°, and for about
00:20:22.28\00:20:27.92
20- 30 minutes twice a day.
00:20:27.96\00:20:30.02
The way we do this is we take
the wand, it comes with these
00:20:30.05\00:20:35.16
special little cots that you
slip over the end of the wand
00:20:35.19\00:20:39.07
and then you can lubricate
it with some KY type jelly,
00:20:39.10\00:20:43.63
probably even Vaseline
would work, you lubricate this,
00:20:43.66\00:20:46.26
get in a comfortable position,
and insert this into the rectum
00:20:46.29\00:20:50.40
and just leave it sit there.
00:20:50.43\00:20:51.83
It's got a place where it
won't go any further than this
00:20:51.86\00:20:54.34
it's going to get up against
that anal sphincter an hold it
00:20:54.37\00:20:56.44
in place and turn it on, this
gives you some good localized
00:20:56.47\00:21:00.29
heat, - Sounds very helpful!
00:21:00.32\00:21:02.24
- Well you are not sitting
in this big tub of water,
00:21:02.27\00:21:04.28
it's much more convenient I'm
sure and it gives you local heat
00:21:04.31\00:21:08.75
and basically this is just
about far enough to be affecting
00:21:08.78\00:21:12.09
the prostate, because when
you do a digital examination
00:21:12.12\00:21:15.54
you can examine it well with
the pad of your index finger.
00:21:15.57\00:21:19.08
So this is going to be right
in that area, to give you some
00:21:19.11\00:21:22.28
localized heat which is
going to do a few things,
00:21:22.31\00:21:24.71
it's going to bring more
white blood cells to the area,
00:21:24.74\00:21:27.83
which is very healative to the
body, it's also going to cause..
00:21:27.86\00:21:32.30
The heat itself can kill cancer
cells and so it's something
00:21:32.33\00:21:37.10
that is worth a try.
00:21:37.13\00:21:38.20
If I were having prostate
problems, and I don't anticipate
00:21:38.23\00:21:41.68
this because I have
tried religiously for the last
00:21:41.71\00:21:44.57
20 years to live a lifestyle
that will keep me healthy.
00:21:45.24\00:21:47.61
- I know that you
get plenty of exercise.
00:21:47.64\00:21:49.57
- Plenty of exercise! -
And your diet is not high in
00:21:49.60\00:21:53.57
fat nor high in sugar,
nor full of animal products.
00:21:53.60\00:21:57.86
- I have not knowingly put
an animal product into my body
00:21:57.89\00:22:03.84
for over 20 years.
00:22:03.87\00:22:04.84
- That's good! That
should be very protective.
00:22:04.85\00:22:08.06
- For being around 60 years of
age I think I am doing alright,
00:22:08.09\00:22:11.09
so these things are very nice.
00:22:11.12\00:22:13.14
Another thing for the
hemorrhoids which is a
00:22:13.17\00:22:15.73
real problem, you
can take things like...
00:22:15.77\00:22:18.28
I'll just use this as an
example of a rubber glove,
00:22:18.32\00:22:20.89
you take a rubber glove
and you fill the fingers
00:22:20.92\00:22:23.46
with water or Aloe
Vera gel and put them
00:22:23.49\00:22:27.32
in the freezer and freeze them
and then when you are having
00:22:27.35\00:22:30.03
a problem, slip the little ice
finger out, whether it's water
00:22:30.06\00:22:35.00
or Aloe Vera gel, insert
this into the rectum and hold it
00:22:35.03\00:22:38.56
there, very soothing for...
- Hemorrhoids, and proctitis,
00:22:38.59\00:22:44.14
or inflammation
of the area. - Right!
00:22:44.17\00:22:47.68
So simple things that it doesn't
require a lot of something like
00:22:47.71\00:22:53.10
a TUR or trans
urethral resection,
00:22:53.13\00:22:55.08
I would rather go for...
00:22:55.11\00:22:56.31
- Try to avoid
those if possible.
00:22:56.34\00:22:57.82
- I've seen a few men who have
had a TUR which basically means
00:22:58.27\00:23:01.77
reaming out that prostate to
allow the urine to flow through
00:23:01.80\00:23:06.65
a little bit easier, and
they walk really dainty for
00:23:06.68\00:23:09.14
quite awhile.
00:23:09.17\00:23:10.14
- Of course I'm sure that
for the man who has obstruction
00:23:10.15\00:23:13.66
he is very happy
that that is available.
00:23:13.69\00:23:15.38
- It's not only happy
but it is a vital thing.
00:23:15.41\00:23:17.89
- Hopefully our instruction to
the man can help them to avoid
00:23:17.92\00:23:22.91
that problem.
00:23:22.94\00:23:23.91
- Exercise, diet, so
vitally important to a man.
00:23:23.92\00:23:28.29
- And proper weight, well
that's the number five thing
00:23:28.32\00:23:31.03
eat fruits, vegetables,
whole grains, nuts and seeds,
00:23:31.06\00:23:34.68
avoid meat, milk,
eggs, cheese, and overweight,
00:23:34.71\00:23:37.36
so that's it five and five.
00:23:37.39\00:23:38.91
- Five and five! -
You've got your choice men!
00:23:38.94\00:23:40.71
- Yes! Very good!
Thank you so much Dr. Miller
00:23:40.74\00:23:43.51
I appreciate that. - Yes!
00:23:43.54\00:23:44.70
- Now again we see very simple
things, Aloe Vera being very
00:23:44.73\00:23:50.64
helpful, and heat being
very helpful, and the life style
00:23:50.67\00:23:54.48
of course, and we
want to emphasize that.
00:23:54.51\00:23:56.94
Now I've asked Cal Thrash
to join me to tell a few things
00:23:56.97\00:24:02.50
about some additional matters
that we can do, some things
00:24:02.53\00:24:06.89
that we can do for sore
throat and infections and also
00:24:06.92\00:24:14.05
some things about
the blood pressure,
00:24:14.08\00:24:15.65
Cal welcome to the
program. - Thank you!
00:24:15.68\00:24:17.98
- Now you have I see here
there is garlic on your table
00:24:18.01\00:24:23.67
so what are you going
to tell us about garlic?
00:24:23.70\00:24:25.76
- Well garlic is a useful
remedy for various things,
00:24:25.79\00:24:28.84
I use it mainly just to
help with getting over colds
00:24:28.87\00:24:33.33
and that type of thing, but
it's extremely good for reducing
00:24:33.36\00:24:37.49
the blood sugar, blood
cholesterol and also it's good
00:24:37.52\00:24:42.03
to reduce hypertension, in
fact it's good for thinning
00:24:42.06\00:24:46.44
the blood it's so good that
the people who take Coumadin
00:24:46.47\00:24:50.82
and those types of
Warfarin drugs have been warned,
00:24:50.85\00:24:53.70
don't take garlic along
with it, because if you do
00:24:53.73\00:24:57.41
you will thin your blood
to much, so this is one thing
00:24:57.44\00:25:00.21
that we can recommend to people
as being something that's a
00:25:00.24\00:25:02.85
good blood thinner if
you don't have to be on a
00:25:02.88\00:25:05.64
prescription. - Yes!
00:25:05.67\00:25:06.88
Well I see you have an
aged garlic compound there also.
00:25:06.91\00:25:10.83
- That's correct, this of course
is Kyolic but there are many
00:25:10.86\00:25:14.84
brands, basically it
is a deodorized garlic
00:25:14.87\00:25:19.65
type of product.
00:25:19.68\00:25:21.29
- So people who have to
meet the public might be able to
00:25:21.32\00:25:23.69
so with less
offense if they take this.
00:25:23.72\00:25:27.07
- Yes! In fact I take it
every day, I don't think you can
00:25:27.10\00:25:29.62
smell it on my breath now. -
No, you can't smell it on you
00:25:29.65\00:25:31.68
but they tell me that when I
take any kind of garlic compound
00:25:31.71\00:25:35.33
people can smell it on me,
I think there are some people
00:25:35.36\00:25:37.99
who don't metabolize garlic
as well as others and can be
00:25:38.02\00:25:43.43
smelled on the breath, so
you have to know who you are
00:25:43.46\00:25:47.05
and know what
to do about garlic.
00:25:47.08\00:25:50.71
- Some of the other things
that garlic is good for is to...
00:25:50.74\00:25:54.48
actually it will kill intestinal
parasites under some conditions
00:25:54.51\00:25:59.60
and you have to take quite
a bit of it for that but it's
00:25:59.63\00:26:03.11
certainly a pleasant way if
you like the taste of garlic
00:26:03.14\00:26:07.10
you can just use it on
your food and also take some
00:26:07.13\00:26:10.14
additionally as well.
00:26:10.17\00:26:11.73
- And people who have intestinal
worms may be very happy to
00:26:11.76\00:26:16.30
take all they can get.
00:26:16.33\00:26:17.46
- That's correct!
00:26:17.49\00:26:18.46
- Well thank you very much for
telling us about these things
00:26:18.49\00:26:21.51
I'm charmed with this
little rendition about garlic
00:26:21.54\00:26:26.67
I love to talk about garlic,
I don't think there is anything
00:26:26.70\00:26:30.87
that we have in the kitchen
having more good medicinal
00:26:30.90\00:26:36.41
value than garlic, and in
addition to that, garlic can be
00:26:36.44\00:26:40.75
nicely used as a flavoring
for food and many people
00:26:40.78\00:26:45.04
prefer to use garlic, if they
had only one flavoring for food
00:26:45.07\00:26:50.33
they would probably
select garlic, I am one of those
00:26:50.36\00:26:53.82
I really, appreciate garlic.
00:26:53.85\00:26:55.33
Now as you can see from
our discussion of simple things
00:26:55.36\00:26:59.99
you can take such a simple
affliction as a wound or a scar
00:27:00.02\00:27:07.55
on the hand and you have
something that you can do
00:27:07.58\00:27:11.79
for that, some things that may
be curative or at least can be
00:27:11.82\00:27:16.82
helpful, and even if
they do no good at all,
00:27:16.85\00:27:19.69
they have not done any harm
and they have cost very little.
00:27:19.72\00:27:23.14
All the way from a simple
remedy like that to a much more
00:27:23.17\00:27:28.76
complex remedy like the device
that Dr. Don Miller showed us,
00:27:28.79\00:27:33.01
with the administration of heat
through a wand into the rectum.
00:27:33.04\00:27:38.10
So I advise that you
become as familiar as you can
00:27:38.13\00:27:41.92
with a variety of home remedies
so that you can be the physician
00:27:41.95\00:27:46.95
for your own family, and
as you apply these remedies
00:27:46.98\00:27:51.01
to your family,
thank our Heavenly Father
00:27:51.04\00:27:53.39
for His divine grace.
00:27:53.42\00:27:55.35
