00:06 IN OUR LIVE HEALTHY SERIES WITH DR. FERREIRA. I HOPE 00:08 YOU WILL JOIN US. "IT IS WRITTEN" BEGINS RIGHT NOW. 00:12 (MUSIC) 00:23 >>ANNOUNCER: IT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME... 00:25 GOD'S BOOK, THE BIBLE. 00:29 STILL RELEVANT IN TODAY'S COMPLEX WORLD. 00:33 IT IS WRITTEN . . . 00:36 SHARING MESSAGES OF HOPE AROUND THE WORLD. 00:42 (MUSIC) 00:50 LET ME WELCOME ALL OF OUR VIEWERS TO THIS WEEKS "IT 00:51 IS WRITTEN" PROGRAM. THIS IS ONE OF OUR LIVE HEALTHY 00:53 PROGRAMS AND WE'RE HAPPY THAT YOU'RE HERE. AND WE 00:56 HAVE OUR RETURNING GUEST, DR. FERREIRA, WITH 00:57 US WELCOME DOCTOR. >>DR. 01:00 FERREIRA: THANK YOU. 01:00 >>BILL: IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU. NOW, TODAY WE'RE 01:02 DOING A LITTLE, SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT 01:03 GENERALLY WHEN WE COME TOGETHER WE HAVE 01:05 A SPECIFIC TOPIC AND YOU TALK TO US ABOUT THAT BUT 01:10 WE'RE GOING TO DO A LITTLE DIFFERENT. WE HAVE 01:11 A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS THAT WERE SUBMITTED AND WE'D 01:13 LIKE TO GET YOUR TAKE ON THESE. WE MAY BE ABLE TO 01:17 GO THROUGH ALL OF THEM, WE MAY NOT BUT.>>DR. 01:18 FERREIRA: SURE. 01:21 >>BILL:.YOU'RE KIND ENOUGH TO - SO LET'S BEGIN. OKAY. 01:22 THEY'RE IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER, JUST THE ORDER THAT 01:26 THEY COME HERE. SOMEONE WROTE: "I HAVE A MOLE ON 01:27 MY FOREARM AND I'VE HEARD ABOUT DEADLY SKIN CANCERS 01:28 WHAT SHOULD I DO?" WITH THE MOLES ARE THERE 01:34 PARTICULAR THINGS TO LOOK FOR THAT WOULD CAUSE 01:38 SOMEONE TO SAY, I NEED TO GET THIS CHECKED OUT 01:39 >>DR. FERREIRA: YES. WELL, OBVIOUSLY THIS PERSON 01:42 PROBABLY HAS A LIGHT SKIN AND, OTHERWISE IT WOULD BE 01:46 DIFFICULT TO NOTICE MOLES. 01:47 AND WHAT THEY'RE PROBABLY TALKING ABOUT IS MELANOMA. 01:52 THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT MELANOMA WHICH IS THE 01:53 DEADLIEST OF ALL THE SKIN CANCERS. AND IT'S VERY 01:56 IMPORTANT TO BE WORRIED ABOUT IT. I THINK THIS 01:59 PERSON SHOULD SEE A DOCTOR, IMMEDIATELY, IF 02:00 THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT THIS. NOW, LET ME TELL 02:06 YOU ABOUT THE THINGS THAT MELANOMA'S SOMETIMES SHOW. 02:10 >>BILL: OKAY. >> DR. 02:11 FERREIRA: IF YOU'VE GOT A MOLE - MOLES ARE VERY 02:13 COMMON... >>BILL: RIGHT. 02:13 >>DR. FERREIRA:.AND BUT NOT ALL MOLES ARE SKIN 02:16 CANCERS, OKAY, MELANOMAS. 02:17 >>BILL: OKAY. >>DR. 02:17 FERREIRA: SO, IF A MOLE STARTS CHANGING IN ANY 02:20 WAY, YOU KNOW, IF THE BORDERS BECOME A LITTLE 02:23 BIT MORE IRREGULAR OR SOMETIMES EVEN IF THEY 02:24 BECOME SMALLER. OKAY? IF THEY BECOME DARKER OR IF 02:31 THEY HAVE LITTLE PATCHES OF DARK AND LIGHTER AREAS 02:36 GO AND SEE A DOCTOR. 02:36 OKAY, SO IF YOU'VE, AND IF YOU'VE GOTTEN MANY OF 02:42 THESE MOLES IN YOUR, SOMETIMES IN AREAS YOU 02:44 DON'T SEE, ON YOUR BACK, FOR EXAMPLE, OR IN THE 02:47 BACK OF YOUR HEAD OR, YOU KNOW, GO AND SEE A DOCTOR. 02:51 THERE ARE CLINICS TODAY; THERE ARE PROTOCOLS OF 02:52 WHAT YOU SHOULD DO. YOU SHOULD HAVE REGULAR 02:56 CHECK-UPS AND SOME OF THESE MOLES CAN BECOME 02:59 DYSPLASTIC OR THEY CAN, THEY DON'T, THEY'RE NOT 03:00 CANCEROUS BUT THEY'VE GOT SOME CHANGE THAT MAY BE 03:04 A BIT WORRYING. SO THOSE MOLES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED 03:08 UP. SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THIS PERSON SHOULD GO AND 03:09 SEE A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY AND HAVE 03:13 THE MOLES CHECKED. AND A DERMATOLOGIST, THEY HAVE 03:15 SPECIAL TECHNIQUES TO CHECK THESE. SOMETIMES 03:16 THEY PHOTOGRAPH.>>BILL: AND MONITOR, RIGHT? >>DR. 03:19 FERREIRA:.AND MONITOR IT AND IF IN DOUBT, CUT IT 03:24 OUT AND SEE WHAT IT WAS. 03:24 AND IF IT WAS ALL FINE YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT 03:28 IT BUT IF IT WAS SOMETHING MALIGNANT THEN, OF COURSE, 03:29 THE EARLIER YOU GET IT, THE BETTER IT IS. >>BILL: 03:33 OKAY, WELL, THE NEXT QUESTION IS A SEGWAY AS WE 03:38 TALK ABOUT CANCER HERE. 03:39 "I'VE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER, IS THERE SOMETHING 03:42 THAT I CAN DO TO HELP MY BODY FIGHT AGAINST IT 03:43 MORE EFFECTIVELY?" >>DR. 03:48 FERREIRA: WELL, IT DOESN'T SAY WHAT TYPE OF CANCER 03:49 >>BILL: NO IT DOESN'T. 03:51 >>DR. FERREIRA:.IT'S JUST CANCER IN GENERAL. >>BILL: 03:52 YES. >>DR. FERREIRA: OF COURSE THAT'S QUITE 03:54 DIFFICULT TO, TO BUT THERE ARE SOME VERY BASIC 03:58 PRINCIPLES THAT I THINK WE CAN APPLY TO ALL. WHEN 04:00 A PERSON IS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER THEY IMMEDIATELY 04:05 PERCEIVE IT AS DEATH >>BILL: YEAH. I CAN ONLY 04:11 IMAGINE HEARING THE WORDS, YOU HAVE CANCER, YEAH 04:12 >>DR. FERREIRA: AND, BUT THE REALITY SHOWS THAT 04:15 EVEN THOUGH THE NUMBER OF CASES OF CANCER IS 04:20 INCREASING, THE MORTALITY IS STAYING THE SAME. 04:21 AND I THINK THAT THAT'S BASICALLY BECAUSE 04:28 CANCERS ARE DETECTED EARLIER.>>BILL: YES. >>DR. 04:33 FERREIRA:.AND ALSO, THERE ARE BETTER TECHNIQUES IN 04:34 DEALING AND TREATMENT IN DEALING WITH IT. BUT WHAT 04:39 THIS PERSON IS SAYING IS THAT, LOOK, I'M GOING 04:42 THROUGH THE PROCESS OF DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT 04:43 OR WHATEVER BUT IS THERE SOMETHING THAT I COULD 04:49 DO.>>BILL: YES. >>DR. 04:50 FERREIRA:.AND THEY USUALLY REFER TO, IS THERE 04:52 SOMETHING I COULD EAT OR NOT EAT.>>BILL: YES, 04:56 THAT'S RIGHT. >> DR. 04:57 FERREIRA:.SOMETHING I CAN DO IN MY LIFESTYLE. 05:01 >>BILL: RIGHT. RIGHT. 05:02 >>DR. FERREIRA: AND, YES, THERE IS, OKAY. DIET IS 05:04 IMPORTANT. NOW, A DIET THAT IS FULL OF FRESH 05:05 FRUITS, VEGETABLES, WHOLE GRAINS, AND VERY LITTLE 05:08 FAT, THAT'S THE KIND OF DIET THAT TENDS TO PROMOTE 05:14 THE WELL-BEING OF YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEMS. AND SEE, 05:15 CANCER IS REALLY A DISEASE THAT AFFECTS THE IMMUNE 05:22 SYSTEMS AS WELL. YOUR IMMUNITY, YOUR DEFENCES 05:27 FIGHT AGAINST CANCER. 05:28 >>BILL: OKAY. >>DR. 05:28 FERREIRA: EVERYDAY CANCEROUS CELLS DEVELOP IN 05:31 A PERSON'S BODY. AND EVERY DAY OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM IS. 05:36 >>BILL: OKAY. >>DR. 05:37 FERREIRA:.IS COMBATING THAT. OKAY? SO IF YOU 05:40 STRENGTHEN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM YOU ARE GOING TO 05:41 BE AIDING THE WORK AGAINST THE CANCER. >>BILL: YES. 05:46 >>DR. FERREIRA: AND THE IMMUNE SYSTEM DOESN'T LIKE 05:51 SUGAR. THE IMMUNE SYSTEM DOESN'T LIKE FAT. THE 05:52 IMMUNE SYSTEM LOVES FRUITS AND VEGETABLES AND GRAINS 05:57 AND CEREALS AND LEGUMES THAT'S WHAT THE IMMUNE 06:01 SYSTEM LIKES, OKAY? SO A DIET THAT IS LIKE THAT 06:02 IS THE BEST CANCER DIET, OKAY. NOT ONLY FOR 06:08 TREATMENT BUT ALSO FOR PREVENTION. >>BILL: 06:11 PREVENTION. >>DR. 06:12 FERREIRA: I SAY AGAIN, A VEGETARIAN DIET, LOW-FAT 06:16 WITH, YOU KNOW, CARBOHYDRATES THAT ARE 06:17 COMPLEX WITH LOTS OF FIBRE, FRUITS, VEGETABLES, 06:22 THAT IS THE BEST DIET THEN THERE IS EXERCISE. 06:25 PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IS VERY IMPORTANT. >>BILL: IS IT 06:26 AN IMMUNE BOOSTER? >>DR. 06:30 FERREIRA: IT'S AN IMMUNE BOOSTER, YEAH. IT'S 06:31 WALKING 30 - 40 MINUTES EVERY DAY, BRISK WALKING. 06:34 OF COURSE, WHEN YOU DO THE CHEMOTHERAPY AND, 06:38 SOMETIMES, RADIOTHERAPY YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE 06:39 DOING THAT, OKAY, SO BE SENSIBLE. BE GENTLE ON 06:43 YOUR BODY, YOUR BODY IS BEING ATTACKED. 06:47 CHEMOTHERAPY IS USUALLY DONE WITH QUITE POTENT 06:48 DRUGS. >>BILL: RIGHT. 06:52 >>DR. FERREIRA: WE HOPE THAT THEY WILL DO GOOD IN 06:53 COMBATING THE CANCER BUT SOMETIMES THEY ACTUALLY 06:56 KILL THE GOOD CELLS OF YOUR BODY, YOUR IMMUNE 07:01 SYSTEM. THOSE ARE SOME THINGS THEY DO. NOW, THERE 07:02 ARE SUPPLEMENTS OUT THERE THAT COULD BE VALUABLE 07:07 IN THIS. THEY ARE IMMUNE SYSTEM BOOSTERS, LET'S 07:15 SAY, AND THINGS LIKE ASTRAGALUSAND THINGS LIKE 07:16 CATS CLAW AND SO ON BUT I'M QUITE CAUTIOUS IN 07:19 SPEAKING ABOUT THESE BECAUSE SOME OF THE 07:26 THERAPEUTIC AGENTS MAY ACTUALLY WORK AGAINST THIS 07:28 OR THIS MAY WORK AGAINST - THEY COULD BE INTERACTENT. 07:30 SO, IF ANYONE GOES ON TO THAT YOU SHOULD BE VERY 07:35 MINDFUL THAT THESE COULD AFFECT THE OTHER 07:36 MEDICATIONS. SO, IT SHOULD BE DONE IN CONSULTATION 07:40 WITH A DOCTOR. AND PLENTY OF WATER, SUNSHINE, IT'S 07:44 AN IMMUNE SYSTEM BOOSTER. 07:44 YOU KNOW, COME OUTSIDE AND JUST GET AT LEAST HALF AN 07:49 HOUR TO 45 MINUTES OF SUNSHINE EVERY DAY. NOT 07:50 BURNING, NOT TURNING RED. 07:55 >>BILL: RIGHT. RIGHT. 07:55 >>DR. FERREIRA: DON'T TURN RED BECAUSE IT GOES 07:57 AGAINST THE SKIN CANCER. 07:58 SO, THERE ARE THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE. AND LASTLY 08:01 BUT NOT LEAST, PEACE OF MIND. NOW, IT'S DIFFICULT 08:02 TO HAVE PEACE OF MIND WHEN YOU'VE JUST BEEN 08:09 DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER. 08:09 >>BILL: ABSOLUTELY. >>DR. 08:11 FERREIRA: IT CALLS FOR ALL OUR ENERGY AND 08:12 INTENTIONALITY TO REALLY ASSESS LIFE AND OUR 08:17 PRIORITIES, OUR FAMILY, OUR RELATIONSHIPS. THAT 08:22 ALSO HELPS. >>BILL: EXCELLENT. THE NEXT 08:23 QUESTION. "I GO TO THE BATHROOM," I'M ASSUMING 08:28 BOWEL MOVEMENTS, "EVERY FOUR DAYS. IS THIS NORMAL 08:32 AND IF IT ISN'T WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT?" SO, HOW 08:33 REGULAR IS REGULAR? >>DR. 08:39 FERREIRA: WELL, YOU KNOW, FOUR DAYS IS NOT THAT 08:40 REGULAR. >>BILL: OKAY. 08:44 >>DR. FERREIRA: THIS PERSON WILL PROBABLY HAVE 08:45 HARD STOOLS, DIFFICULT AND SO IT'S, IT'S NOT THAT 08:50 NORMAL, NO. NOW, IF THIS HAS HAPPENED RECENTLY. 08:59 WHEN I SAY RECENTLY, IF THE BOWEL MOVEMENTS WERE 09:01 NORMAL, LET'S SAY.>>BILL: DAILY>>DR. FERREIRA: .ONCE 09:06 A DAY, DAILY, SOMETIMES EVERY TWO DAYS BUT THAT 09:09 WAS THE PATTERN OF THAT PERSON AND NOW IT'S FOUR 09:10 DAYS.>>BILL: OKAY. >>DR. 09:14 FERREIRA:.BEFORE THEY GO TO THE BATHROOM AGAIN, 09:15 THEN THERE IS A CHANGE. 09:19 AND WE MUST ALWAYS LOOK AT THIS SUSPICIOUSLY, THESE 09:20 CHANGES. AND THAT SHOULD BE SEEN BY YOUR DOCTOR 09:27 BECAUSE PERHAPS THERE IS A TUMOR THERE THAT'S CAUSING 09:33 THIS AND IT SHOULD COME OUT, OKAY? SO, BUT LET'S 09:34 ASSUME THIS IS A NORMAL PATTERN FOR THAT PERSON. 09:41 >>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR. 09:42 FERREIRA: OKAY. YOU'RE PROBABLY SHORT OF 09:44 FIBER. >>BILL: OKAY. DR. 09:44 FERREIRA:.IN YOUR DIET, OKAY? THAT'S THE 09:50 MOST COMMON CAUSE OF CONSTIPATION. >>BILL: 09:53 OKAY. DR. FERREIRA: VERY LITTLE FIBER IN YOUR DIET 09:54 WHERE IS FIBER? FIBER IS IN FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. 10:00 OKAY, IF A PERSON EATS REFINED CARBOHYDRATES LIKE 10:05 IN MUFFINS, WHITE BREADS, WHITE PASTA, AND WHITE 10:06 RICE, PLENTY OF THAT, THAT IS VERY, IT DOESN'T HAVE 10:11 A LOT OF FIBER. >>BILL: OKAY. >>DR. FERREIRA: AND 10:15 FIBER IS THE BROOM OF THE INTESTINES, OKAY? SO, 10:16 EAT PLENTY OF FIBER. NOW, SHORT TREATMENT FOR 10:22 THAT. YOU KNOW, GO TO A STORE AND GET SOME FLAX 10:26 SEED.>>BILL: FLAX SEED. 10:26 >>DR. FERREIRA:.FLAX SEED. FLAX SEED, GRIND 10:30 IT.>>BILL: YES. >>DR. 10:30 FERREIRA:.AND TAKE TWO TABLESPOONS OF THAT A DAY. 10:32 IT INCREASES THE VOLUME OF THE STOOLS, IT HELPS 10:33 REGULATE IT. THE OTHER POSSIBILITY IS CILIUM 10:39 HUSKS. OKAY, CILIUM IS ALSO A LITTLE VEGETABLE, 10:45 IT'S A LITTLE PLANT, OKAY? 10:45 THE HUSKS, YOU CAN BUY IT IN A HEALTH FOOD STORE AND 10:52 TAKE TWO TABLESPOONS OF THAT A DAY AS WELL. IN 10:53 YOUR CEREAL.>>BILL: I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY, 10:57 SPRINKLE IT ON. >>DR. 10:58 FERREIRA:.SPRINKLE IT ON. 11:00 TAKE TWO TABLESPOONS, ONE OR THE OTHER. TRY 11:01 ONE BEFORE YOU GO AND FOR EXAMPLE, PRUNES, DRIED 11:04 PRUNES, OKAY. ANYTHING BETWEEN SIX TO TEN A DAY 11:11 MAY HELP YOU REGULATE YOUR INTESTINES. SO, 11:12 THOSE, INCREASE THE FIBER; INCREASE THE VEGETABLES, 11:18 THE FRUIT, OKAY? WHOLE WHEAT BREAD RATHER THAN 11:22 WHITE BREAD BUT MAKE SURE IT'S REALLY WHOLE WHEAT 11:23 AND IT'S NOT JUST.>>BILL: DYED BROWN. 11:27 >>DR. FERREIRA:.DYED IN SOMETHING BROWN. SO, LOOK 11:29 AT THE FIBER CONTENT. WE SHOULD BE TAKING ABOUT 30 11:30 - 35 GRAMS OF FIBER A DAY. 11:33 >>BILL: EVERY DAY. >>DR. 11:33 FERREIRA: EVERY DAY. AND MOST PEOPLE TAKE ABOUT 5 - 11:36 10. >>BILL: WOW. 11:36 AND INCREASING WATER, NO? 11:37 >>DR. FERREIRA: INCREASING WATER, OF COURSE, BECAUSE 11:41 HARD STOOLS THEY HAVE BEEN DEHYDRATED, LET'S SAY, BY 11:46 STAYING THERE FOR A LONG TIME THE INTESTINE JUST 11:47 ABSORBS THAT WATER. SO, WATER, INCREASE 11:50 YOUR FIBER, AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ALSO PROMOTES THE 11:54 TREATMENT OF CONSTIPATION. 11:55 >>BILL: NEXT QUESTION, "I HAVE A SIX YEAR OLD SON 12:02 WHO HAS MANY THROAT INFECTIONS. I WAS TOLD 12:03 THAT HE SHOULD HAVE HIS TONSILS TAKEN OUT. 12:05 WHAT SHOULD I DO?" >>DR. 12:06 FERREIRA: WELL, THAT'S A DIFFICULT ONE. THAT'S 12:09 A DIFFICULT ONE. YOU KNOW.>>BILL: WHEN I WAS A 12:12 KID THERE WAS THIS RASH, EVERYBODY WOULD GET 12:12 THEIR TONSILS OUT. >>DR. 12:14 FERREIRA: EVERYBODY WOULD GET THEIR TONSILS OUT 12:15 >>BILL: I DIDN'T GET MINE OUT BUT.>>DR. FERREIRA: 12:17 LET'S LOOK AT WHAT TONSILS ARE. TONSILS ARE VERY 12:19 IMPORTANT ORGANS IN OUR BODIES, OKAY? THEY ARE, 12:20 BASICALLY THEY ARE PART OF OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM AND 12:27 THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENCE RIGHT HERE IN THE MOUTH 12:33 BECAUSE THE THINGS THAT WE EAT ARE FULL OF BACTERIA, 12:34 HOPEFULLY NOT MANY VIRUSES BUT THEY ARE NOT 12:38 STERILIZED. >>BILL: RIGHT. 12:38 >>DR. FERREIRA: SO, WHEN WE EAT THIS IS THE FIRST 12:41 LINE OF DEFENCE. THEY PRODUCE GOOD DEFENCES FOR 12:46 US. >>BILL: OKAY. >>DR. 12:47 FERREIRA: SO, WHEN WE TAKE THEM OUT, WE SHOULD BE 12:49 CAUTIOUS. OKAY, WE SHOULD REALLY TAKE THEM OUT ONLY 12:50 WHEN IT BECOMES A REAL PROBLEM. NOW, THIS PERSON, 12:55 A SIX YEAR OLD, OKAY, PROBABLY AT SCHOOL GETTING 13:02 ALL SORTS OF INFECTIONS. 13:02 SOME KIDS AT SCHOOL ARE MORE PRONE TO GETTING 13:05 THROAT INFECTIONS AND, YOU KNOW, TONSILLITIS IS 13:06 A MORE COMMON ONE. >>BILL: YES. >>DR. FERREIRA: MOST 13:10 OF THEM ARE VIRAL; SOME OF THEM ARE BACTERIAL THAT 13:13 NEED TREATMENT WITH ANTIBIOTICS BUT MOST OF 13:13 THEM ARE VIRAL. AND THEY, FOR EXAMPLE, CAN 13:16 HELP BLOCK THE EUSTACHIAN TUBES, THE EAR CANAL THAT 13:20 CONNECTS THE THROAT TO THE EARS AND THESE KIDS CAN 13:21 GET EAR INFECTIONS AND SO ON. SO, IF THEY GET IT 13:27 MANY TIMES THEN THERE'S A PROBLEM. WE NEED TO ASK 13:31 OURSELVES, WHY? OKAY? AND THAT'S A QUESTION THAT'S, 13:32 MANY TIMES, NOT ASKED. WHY IS THE KID LIKE THIS? 13:37 >>BILL: RIGHT. BECAUSE THAT WOULD NOT BE NORMAL, 13:39 RIGHT? >>DR. FERREIRA: THAT WOULDN'T BE NORMAL. 13:40 >>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR. 13:41 FERREIRA: IT'S NORMAL TO GET QUITE A FEW OF THESE 13:42 BUT JUST VERY RECURRENT. 13:45 BUT COULD IT BE THAT THE LITTLE KID IS EATING 13:46 SOMETHING THAT PERHAPS HE, IS CAUSING SOME KIND OF 13:53 REACTION. WE FIND THAT, FOR EXAMPLE, DAIRY 13:58 PRODUCTS.>>BILL: I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU ABOUT 13:59 THAT. COW'S MILK, FOR EXAMPLE. >>DR. FERREIRA: 14:03 YES. COW'S MILK, THE CHEESES, ETCETERA. IN SOME 14:06 KIDS IT SEEMS TO SWELL THE NECROSIS AND MAKE THEM 14:07 PRONE TO DEVELOP SOME OF THE INFECTIONS, OKAY? SO, 14:15 I WOULD SAY, YES, IT COULD BE THAT WE ARE GOING IN 14:23 THE RIGHT DIRECTION OF TONSILLECTOMY BUT JUST TRY 14:24 SOMETHING ELSE, OKAY. TRY, FOR EXAMPLE, SEEING AN 14:28 ALLERGY SPECIALIST AND SEE IF THE KID IS, PERHAPS, 14:33 NOT ALLERGIC TO CERTAIN THINGS, THAT THIS IS JUST 14:34 A REACTION THAT IF THERE'S A TREATMENT EVEN HE 14:37 WILL.>>BILL: I SEE. >>DR. 14:37 FERREIRA:.AVOID IT. BUT, PERHAPS, THE FIRST THING 14:41 THAT WE COULD DO IS TO AVOID DAIRY PRODUCTS, 14:45 LET'S SAY, FOR A MONTH, OKAY. SUBSTITUTE 14:46 DAIRY PRODUCTS WITH SOY PRODUCTS. SOY YOGURT, 14:49 SOY MILK, TAKE AWAY THE CHEESE, AND FOR A MONTH DO 14:54 THAT AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY IMPROVEMENT IN THIS 14:55 CHILD'S CONDITION. SOME PEOPLE MAY SAY, I'M GOING 15:02 TO DO IT FOR THREE MONTHS, THAT'S FINE. YOU KNOW, 15:05 IT'S NOT A PROBLEM; IN FACT, MOST OF THE SOY 15:06 MILKS HAVE GOT ALL THE NUTRIENTS YOU NEED. 15:08 THEY'RE FORTIFIED WITH ALL THE VITAMINS AND SO ON. 15:10 >>BILL: YES. >> DR. 15:11 FERREIRA: THE SOY YOGURT'S THE SAME THINGS. YOU DON'T 15:12 REALLY NEED CHEESE. SO, TRY AND AVOID DAIRY FOR A 15:13 MONTH OR THREE MONTHS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. IF YOU 15:19 SEE AN IMPROVEMENT THEN IT'S LIKELY THAT YOU WILL 15:23 NOT NEED THE TONSILLECTOMY. IF IT'S 15:24 STILL THERE, IN SPITE OF SEEING THE ALLERGY 15:27 SPECIALIST.>>BILL: RIGHT. RIGHT. >>DR. 15:29 FERREIRA:.IT'S STILL THERE AND YOU NEED RECURRENT 15:30 OR MANY COURSES OF ANTIBIOTICS THEN THERE 15:34 COULD BE AN INDICATION, OR IF THERE'S EAR PROBLEMS, 15:37 AN EAR PROBLEM ALREADY THEN THERE COULD 15:38 BE AN INDICATION OF TONSILLECTOMY. >>BILL: MY 15:41 SON, JOSHUA, HE'S 17 NOW, WHEN HE STOPPED BREAST 15:45 FEEDING HE WENT ON FORMULA WHICH WAS A COW'S 15:46 MILK BASED FORMULA. >>DR. 15:50 FERREIRA: YES. >>BILL: H HAD A LOT OF MUCUS. >>DR. 15:51 FERREIRA: YES. >>BILL: AND ONCE WE TOOK HIM OFF THE 15:54 COW'S MILK AND WENT ON SOY MILK - HE SOUNDED ALMOST 16:00 LIKE A SMOKER IN THE MORNING TRYING TO GET RID 16:01 OF THAT MUCUS. WHEN HE WENT TO THE SOY MILK IT 16:06 STOPPED COMPLETELY. >>DR. 16:06 FERREIRA: YES. I ATTENDED A CONFERENCE ON PEDIATRIC 16:09 NUTRITION ONE DAY AND PEDIATRICIANS WERE SAYING 16:13 THAT MORE THAN 50%, WE KNOW THAT OF ALLERGIES 16:14 THAT KIDS HAVE ARE RELATED TO DAIRY. FOOD ALLERGIES, 16:19 OKAY? AND MANY OF THESE GO UNNOTICED FOR YEARS AND 16:24 THE KIDS GET ALL THESE EAR INFECTIONS AND A LOT OF 16:25 MUCUS PRODUCTION AND SOME INFECTIONS OF THE THROAT 16:30 AND I WOULD DO THAT. IF IT WAS MY OWN CHILD, THAT'S 16:36 WHAT I WOULD DO, NOT COMPLETELY EXCLUDING 16:37 THE TONSILLECTOMY, OKAY. 16:42 >>BILL: RIGHT. RIGHT. 16:42 >>DR. FERREIRA: YOU KNOW THERE'S A PLACE FOR THAT. 16:44 >>BILL: SURE, SURE. 16:45 >>DR. FERREIRA: BUT TRY THE OTHER ONES WITH, IN 16:46 COMBINATION WITH WHAT YOUR DOCTOR IS ADVISING YOU 16:47 >>BILL: EXCELLENT. MOVING ALONG HERE. "I'M A 65 YEAR 16:53 OLD MAN; I NEED TO GO TO THE BATHROOM SOMETIMES UP 16:56 TO 4 TIMES A NIGHT. COULD THIS BE A SIGN OF PROSTATE 16:57 CANCER"? >>DR. FERREIRA: WELL, YOU KNOW, THAT'S 17:02 A VERY COMMON SYMPTOM ACTUALLY. YOU KNOW, BUT 17:08 LET'S EXCLUDE ONE SCENARIO. ONE DAY I 17:09 HAD ONE PATIENT SAYING, DOCTOR, I WAKE UP 6 TIMES 17:10 A NIGHT. I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM. WELL, THAT'S 17:13 NOT NORMAL AND EACH TIME I WAKE UP I DRINK WATER. 17:14 I GO TO THE BATHROOM AND I DRINK WATER. WELL, YOU 17:20 KNOW, STOP DOING THAT AND THEN YOU'LL BE FINE. NO. 17:24 WE, WE, WE, - PUTTING ASIDE THOSE CASES WHERE 17:25 PEOPLE DRINK A LOT OF WATER AT NIGHT AND THEN, 17:29 OF COURSE, THEY NEED TO GO TO THE BATHROOM. OKAY. 17:32 NOW, LET'S SAY SOMEBODY'S DRINKING A NORMAL AMOUNT 17:33 OR ALMOST NOTHING AT NIGHT AND THEY STILL NEED TO GO 17:37 TO THE BATHROOM. WELL, IN MEN THE MOST COMMON CAUSE 17:44 FOR THAT IS BENIGN PROSTRATE HYPERTROPHY 17:45 WHICH IS AN INCREASE IN THE SIZE OF THE PROSTATE 17:49 AND VERY COMMONLY PRESENTS LIKE THAT. YOU KNOW, 17:55 PEOPLE HAVING TO GET UP A FEW TIMES A NIGHT. THEY 17:56 ACTUALLY NEVER EMPTY THE BLADDER COMPLETELY.>>BILL: 17:58 I SEE. OKAY. >>DR. 17:59 FERREIRA:.BECAUSE THERE IS, THERE'S A PARTIAL 18:02 OBSTRUCTION AND THE PROSTATE IS PUSHING INTO 18:04 THE BLADDER. SO, THEY NEVER EMPTY COMPLETELY AND 18:05 SO THEY HAVE TO GET UP A FEW TIMES. AND SOMETIMES 18:09 WHEN THEY SIT IT'S DIFFICULT FOR THE URINE TO 18:13 COME AND IT COMES - SO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. COULD 18:14 IT BE PROSTATE CANCER? YES IT COULD. YES IT COULD. 18:21 IT'S LESS LIKELY BUT IT COULD. SO, GO TO YOUR 18:27 DOCTOR AND, YOU KNOW, DO AN ULTRASOUND OF THE 18:28 PROSTATE, A PSA LEVEL. PSA IS ONE OF THE MARKERS FOR 18:33 PROSTATE CANCER AND IF IT'S NORMAL IT'S UNLIKELY 18:41 TO PROSTATE CANCER BUT HAVE IT CHECKED. YOU KNOW, 18:42 PROMPTLY EVALUATED WITH A PSA, SOME OTHER BLOOD 18:46 TESTS AND BECAUSE IT'S QUITE IMPORTANT THAT YOU 18:51 KNOW THIS. >>BILL: AND IF IT'S, AND CORRECT ME 18:52 IF I'M WRONG, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND EARLY DETECTION 18:55 OF PROSTATE CANCER IS A VERY IMPORTANT TO BEING 19:00 ABLE TO CURE OR TO RESOLVE AND... >>DR. FERREIRA: 19:01 SURE. >>BILL:.ALL THAT, RIGHT? >>DR. FERREIRA: 19:04 YES. AT 65, EARLY DETECTION, YOU KNOW, THE 19:07 LIKELIHOOD OF THIS BEING TREATED IS VERY HIGH 19:08 TREATED AND CURED. SO, AT 65 - I MEAN, YOU ARE YOUNG 19:12 AT 65, WHEN LONGEVITY GOES UP TO 82. YES, I WOULDN'T 19:21 SIT AT HOME WITH THIS. 19:21 GO TO YOUR DOCTOR AND HAVE A PSA CHECK AND AN 19:25 ULTRASOUND AND MAYBE A DIGITAL EXAMINATION OF THE 19:26 PROSTATE. MAKE SURE, OF COURSE, YOU EXCLUDE 19:30 THINGS LIKE URINARY TRACT INFECTION THAT CAN 19:33 ACTUALLY GIVE YOU THE SAME SYMPTOMS, OKAY. BUT, 19:34 I WOULD DO THAT. >>BILL: A 30-YEAR-OLD FEMALE, "I 19:38 JUST NOTICED A LUMP IN MY BREAST, SELF-EXAMINATION, 19:46 AND WHAT DO I DO"? >>DR. 19:46 FERREIRA: HAVE IT CHECKED. 19:47 YOU KNOW, IN YEARS GONE BY, A LUMP IN 19:50 A 30-YEAR-OLD, AND STILL TODAY, IT'S MOST LIKELY TO 19:57 BE BENIGN. SO, - BUT WE'VE SEEN CASES OF BREAST 19:58 CANCER EVEN IN YOUNG PEOPLE, IN 30, SO, BREAST 20:08 CANCER IS ON THE INCREASE, ON THE RISE SO HAVE IT 20:14 CHECKED. AS I SAID, IT'S MOST LIKELY GOING TO BE 20:15 BENIGN BUT WE DON'T WANT TO MISS SOMETHING LIKE 20:20 THIS. BECAUSE IF IT'S, ONCE AGAIN, IF IT'S 20:24 DETECTED EARLY THE LIKELIHOOD OF IT BEING 20:25 COMPLETELY CURED IS, IS MUCH HIGHER, OKAY. SO, 20:30 HAVE IT CHECKED. YOU'RE 30, I MEAN - BUT I WOULD 20:35 HAVE IT CHECKED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. >>BILL: DOCTOR, 20:36 WHAT IS YOUR VIEW ON SUPPLEMENTS? THE QUESTION 20:40 WAS, "SHOULD WE TAKE SUPPLEMENTS TO IMPROVE OUR 20:43 HEALTH?" >>DR. FERREIRA: THAT'S A VERY GOOD 20:44 QUESTION. YOU KNOW, I HAD A BIOCHEMISTRY PROFESSOR 20:47 WHO SAID THAT WE PRODUCE THE MOST EXPENSIVE URINE 20:51 IN THE WORLD. IN FACT, THE URINE THAT WE PRODUCE IN 20:52 NORTH AMERICA HAS ALL THE VITAMINS NECESSARY TO 20:57 SUPPLY THE WHOLE WORLD IN ONE DAY, YOU KNOW, IN ONE 21:04 DAY. >>BILL: YOU'RE KIDDING. >>DR. FERREIRA: 21:05 OKAY? MEANING THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE TAKING A LOT OF 21:09 SUPPLEMENTS AND THEY ARE JUST.>>BILL: JUST FLUSHING 21:14 IT. >>DR. 21:14 FERREIRA:.FLUSHED OUT AND GOES INTO URINE AND WE'RE 21:16 PRODUCING A VERY, VERY EXPENSIVE URINE AS FAR 21:17 AS SUPPLEMENTS, OKAY. SO, SHOULD WE TAKE 21:20 SUPPLEMENTS? LET'S DIVIDE THIS QUESTION INTO A FEW 21:28 GROUPS. OKAY, LET'S TAKE PEOPLE WHO ARE DEFICIENT 21:29 IN CERTAIN SUPPLEMENTS, CERTAIN NUTRIENTS, I'M 21:31 SORRY. YES, THEY SHOULD TAKE SUPPLEMENTS. SO, IF 21:35 YOU'RE DEFICIENT IN B12 OR B6 OR VITAMIN A WHATEVER, 21:37 I'M GLAD THE SUPPLEMENTS ARE AVAILABLE. >>BILL: 21:43 RIGHT. >>DR. FERREIRA: THOSE ARE SPECIFIC 21:44 CONDITIONS THAT NEED TO BE TREATED WITH 21:45 SUPPLEMENTATION. OKAY? 21:47 OTHERWISE, THESE PEOPLE WOULD DIE. >>BILL: RIGHT. 21:48 >>DR. FERREIRA: OKAY. NOW YOU'VE GOT A GROUP OF 21:51 PEOPLE WHO'VE HEARD OKAY, WELL, I SHOULD TAKE A 21:53 SUPPLEMENT OF THESE, OF THAT, YOU KNOW, SO, THE 21:54 GREAT MAJORITY DON'T NEED ANYTHING. IN FACT, IF WE 21:56 HAD A PROPER BALANCED DIET WE WOULD NOT NEED THOSE 22:08 SUPPLEMENTS. SEE.>>BILL: THERE'S ENOUGH 22:09 IN THE FOOD. >>DR. 22:13 FERREIRA:.THERE IS ENOUGH IN THE FOOD TO SUPPLY ALL 22:14 THE NUTRIENTS WE GET. AND I WOULD SAY, YEAH, WE 22:17 DON'T NEED A SUPPLEMENT YOU HAVE A BALANCED DIET 22:23 AND YOU DON'T NEED A SUPPLEMENT. NOW, LET'S 22:24 TAKE FIBER, FOR EXAMPLE, AS A SUPPLEMENT. 22:29 LET'S THINK OF FIBER AS A SUPPLEMENT. IF YOU HAVE A 22:33 VERY POOR DIET FULL OF REFINED CARBOHYDRATES, 22:34 MEAT, AND FISH, YOU KNOW, VERY LITTLE FIBER.>>BILL: 22:39 YOU'RE NOT GETTING ENOUGH FIBER, YEAH. >>DR. 22:41 FERREIRA:.YOU'D GET A SUPPLEMENT OF FIBER 22:42 >>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR. 22:43 FERREIRA: BUT THAT'S NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT ANSWER 22:44 >>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR. 22:46 FERREIRA: GET A BALANCED DIET. >>BILL: RIGHT. >> 22:47 DR. FERREIRA: GET YOUR FIBER. OKAY, SO, ARE THERE 22:51 THINGS THAT, PERHAPS, OUR BEST ATTEMPTS IN DIET 22:54 SHOULD, WOULD STILL BE LACKING. WELL, IT'S 22:55 CONCEIVABLE THEN. FOR EXAMPLE, WE DON'T, WE HAVE 23:01 A RELATIVELY DEFICIENT DIET ON FRUITS, FOR 23:11 EXAMPLE. WE BASICALLY EAT APPLE, BANANA, AND PEARS 23:12 AND VERY LITTLE ELSE. YOU KNOW, THERE ARE MANY 23:17 PHYTOCHEMICALS IN OTHER FRUITS THAT WE LACK. YOU 23:23 KNOW, THE BLUEBERRIES ARE FULL OF THEM. YOU'VE 23:23 GOT THE STRAWBERRIES, THE RASPBERRIES, THE 23:26 GOOSEBERRIES, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE VERY SELDOM 23:30 EATEN. SHOULD WE TAKE SUPPLEMENTS? WELL, I WOULD 23:31 SAY, JUST INVEST IN SOME OF THOSE. IT MIGHT 23:37 BE CHEAPER TO INVEST IN EATING SOME OF THESE MORE, 23:41 SOMETIMES MORE EXPENSIVE TOO, BUT TRY AND HAVE 23:42 A VARIED DIET, HEALTHY, PREFERABLE VEGETARIAN BUT 23:47 NOT JUST WITH CHIPS AND SODA. THAT'S A VEGETARIAN 23:54 DIET. YOU EAT CHIPS AND DRINK SODA, THAT'S 23:55 VEGETARIAN. >>BILL: BUT NOT BALANCED. >>DR. 23:57 FERREIRA: BUT IT'S NOT BALANCED. TRY AND HAVE A 23:59 WHOLE ROUND BALANCED DIET AND YOU'RE VERY 24:00 LESS LIKELY TO NEED ANY SUPPLEMENTS. >>BILL: WE'VE 24:04 GOT ABOUT TWO MINUTES LEFT. LET ME ASK, YOU 24:07 KNOW, HERE IN CANADA WHERE I LIVE, WHERE WE LIVE, FLU 24:08 SEASON COMES, RIGHT? FOLKS HAVE A TENDENCY TO RAMP 24:16 UP ON, YOU KNOW, VITAMIN C INTAKE OR THAT. IS THAT 24:20 SOMETHING..? >>DR. 24:20 FERREIRA: WELL, WE KNOW THAT VITAMIN C NEEDS GO UP 24:23 WHEN ONE HAS FLU OR A COLD. THE IDEA IS, THERE 24:24 AREN'T REALLY MANY STUDIES THAT SHOW THAT IT'S VERY 24:40 EFFECTIVE BUT THERE ARE OTHERS THAT SHOW IT ISN'T 24:41 EFFECTIVE. SO, I WOULDN'T GIVE A LOT OF VITAMIN C, 24:42 MAYBE, YOU KNOW, UP TO A GRAM A DAY, TO AN ADULT. 24:46 THERE ARE THINGS THAT MAY HELP LIKE ECHINACEA, BUT 24:50 STILL, THERE'S A LOT OF DOUBT. SOME STUDIES THAT 24:51 SHOW IT DOESN'T HELP. BUT REALLY, PLENTY OF FOOD, 24:54 HEALTHY FOOD, WATER, AND EVEN EXERCISE. >>BILL: SO, 24:59 IF YOU'RE DOING THAT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.>>DR. 25:00 FERREIRA: YEAH. 25:01 >>BILL:.THEN YOU HAVE BUILT UP YOUR IMMUNE 25:02 SYSTEM AND ARE BETTER ABLE TO DEAL WITH FLU SEASON. 25:05 >>DR. FERREIRA: YEAH. 25:06 >>BILL: WELL THIS WAS GREAT. WE HAVE TO DO THIS 25:08 AGAIN. THIS WAS WONDERFUL. 25:08 THANK YOU FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS TO ANSWER 25:13 QUESTIONS. >>DR.
