We've got 3 doctors from the said. If 09:35 you're joining us just a little bit late, we have doctor Brian Schwartz, doctor 09:40 Esther and doctor Mann well out and hunting. This is going to be a time where you can 09:48 send your questions in. How did they do that? >> Well, first of all, we 09:53 except Texas, a lot of textures out there. So text 6, 1, 8, 2, 2, 8, 3, 9, 7, 5, See 10:00 it on screen. There. The other is if you're going to e-mail, it's live at TV. We look 10:10 forward to getting these questions. And and I know there's going to be a lot of 10:12 questions. So. Starts. and the first don't last >> event, this exciting 10:18 program. may call you Doctor Brian or Brian or doctor short term and just say Brian. 10:25 >> And because the any of the cape right? Tell us a little bit about a man because it's 10:30 such an incredible organization. >> Now, so a man stands for 10:34 the average medical evangelism network. It started about 16 years ago with a group of 10:40 about 50 physicians and dentists that came together recognizing that. We had 10:48 really a calling to make our medical practices into a ministry and we didn't 10:52 necessarily how to do that. I used to go amiss and trips to Africa for 2 weeks said go 10:59 volunteer at my church and to stop smoking session or I would help out with the chip 11:07 program or a diabetes programmer, various programs. But my ministry was my 11:11 Ministry of my work was my work in the 2. Didn't come together as a result of 11:16 getting involved with a man the first thing that I was encouraged to do is to begin 11:23 what went for opportunities to have a spiritual conversation with my patients winter. And 11:28 the easiest way to do that was to start praying with my from the very beginning. I would I 11:34 close out an encounter with my patients. Whether I'm about to do a procedure or whether just 11:42 see them in the office. I always say, by the way, one of the things they often do is 11:45 have a prayer. Is that something that you'd appreciate? You know, I don't 11:48 for supper. I just asked the question. There are free to say no. 11:56 >> It's been for maybe 10 times in the last 15 years that people say no. But I do 11:59 with the Bible bouts, though. >> That makes it a little bit easier. But that's that's kind 12:04 of how we got started. Since then we go on to have an annual conference with 12:09 physicians and dentists and now all healthcare workers, physical therapist and nurses, 12:14 anyone, any health care related area, even if you just volunteer with the health 12:21 outreach of your church, you could come to a man really benefit from it. And we mentor 12:24 medical and dental students. This will level but now at various medical schools around 12:30 the country and even around the world. And there are now over 13 international chapters 12:35 of a man that's all around the world. >> That's exciting. You know. 12:41 Real quickly, a prayer. I ask a doctor to pray. JD was getting ready to have some 12:45 emergency surgery. His doctor sent him to the hospital left town Infineon. And though he 12:50 was called out of town. Sinan another doctor who just came in. They were prepping for 12:55 surgery. And I asked the doctor, are you a praying man? And he said, well, that said, 13:01 can we pray? We pray together and the doctor walked out. And pick up 30 feet away, turned 13:06 around and came back. He said, I think we need to run that seat. He scanned JD didn't 13:11 have to have the surgery Yeah, prayer is very important. So you have a video. I think that 13:21 you wanted to of Victoria Chung is first one is kind of an action. So, OK, let's 13:30 watch. >> Let's watch that. ♪ 13:38 ♪ ♪ ♪ 13:53 ♪ ♪ ♪ 14:08 ♪ ♪ ♪ 14:23 ♪ >> I'm involved in with a man it is an organization of 14:37 people who really want to bring the medical missionary as a center focus. And so I 14:44 went into medicine partly because I want to share the gospel. What am surrounded by 14:49 mentors, fears of people who are really passionate about that inspire me to keep doing 14:52 it. think thing I like most about a man is the networking with other people who are 14:58 living out the Gospel commission in their workplace and seeing that being inspired 15:03 by the testimony that they share and thinking about like being inspired and thinking 15:07 about what could I bring into the way I practice in, you know, just kind of being 15:11 inspired that way. That's probably my So I went to a second round or graduate I 15:18 think being involved in ministry was I'm probably one of the most part things that I 15:22 did. An undergrad helps me stay grounded. And I keep the focus on God throughout my 15:28 studies and so you know that sometimes people think it's tempting to like, you know, 15:34 about Sabbath a little bit. So you can study. But if you're actively involved in ministry 15:37 this stuff like you don't really have that temptation because you're actively doing 15:41 Stefan Savic it's just it's really what kept me from getting burned out and still 15:50 loving what I did. And I loved him and got experience. And I would just highly encourage 15:54 getting involved in issues very much for ourselves like it changes us. I think God 15:58 speaks s you worry more about character when you're doing the work that he's doing. And 16:02 there's so many people who are really searching an undergrad. I was part of a group called 16:06 Religious Life Council. So there's people of all different ages, backgrounds, 16:11 atheists to Hindus and Muslims, Jews, Christians. >> And we get together on 16:14 Monday night. And we would just like talk about some question over dinner and I 16:18 can't tell you how many people are really searching for truth like you. There's like they're 16:23 seeing grass at things and and when they're presented with like more clarity, I think, 16:29 yeah, I think that it strikes home. You know, this if you're willing to have a conversation 16:33 with someone, it can really make a difference. Amen has inspired me to. 16:40 >> Well, if that Christ at the center of what I'm doing in medicine, so as much as we 16:44 care about the physical well-being of our patients and care for caring for them 16:47 physically caring for them as a whole person and making sure that prices lifted up is like 16:52 the most important thing. And so having been able to come here and seeing people who are 16:58 seasoned and their practice in doing that has been super inspiring. And that's impacted 17:02 me. And the way I practice. >> It is something I wanted to share is like. I'm so thankful 17:09 for the generosity of all the people who have donated making this experience that shows 17:14 that there are people who are really committed to living after officially to share the 17:18 gospel they believe in investing in students because they see that is. And that 17:21 manifest. Through later on the career. And so it's such a precious opportunity that we 17:29 students to benefit from that. And if you're on the fence and you're thinking about it, I 17:33 just recommend coming because you'll be able to interface with people are willing to 17:38 live this way and to live with rice in the center and you get benefit from that taste and 17:41 see for yourself. How did this? ♪ 17:49 ♪ ♪ ♪ 18:04 ♪ ♪ ♪ 18:18 >> It's exciting to think about doctors, nurses, people of all medical professions 18:26 keeping Christ at the center of their practice. >> Jesus spent more time 18:32 healing in teaching that he did actually preaching. And so as a physician, if we follow 18:37 his example, we're going to need to blend the 2. Maybe it is a minister. Ministers need 18:41 to be involved with health ministry. Even so the 2 go together. So I see we're 18:48 already getting some questions coming in. So we're excited to jump into that. I'm just as a 18:53 reminder, the advice that we give tonight is meant to be a general in nature. We don't 18:57 want to get into the specific numbers or details of it of a complex health problem. But if 19:02 you have a general question, that's what we're looking to answer. You should still 19:05 consult with your personal physician regardless of the advice that we give you some 19:11 tonight, I'm really excited having this combination. Gas turnaround just the infectious 19:19 disease physician and a heart doctor. Believe it or not, these are all related. So I 19:22 think you have some questions that will kick us off talking about together. The first 19:28 question is that. >> How what how does the gut biome a fact our heart. How 19:36 does it affect our general health? Now? You're an infectious disease. Doctor, 19:42 you've seen all kinds of things after but tell us about it. Well. 19:48 >> Let's put it in this in the area so we can imagine the young lady. She develops a 19:53 urine infection, a very common infection. Not series just this comfort when she 20:01 urinates. She calls her physician hit that perfect vision prescribes to my attic. 20:07 Take for 3 days. And that should be according to the guidelines enough. She feels a 20:13 little better. 2 days after the completing the antibiotics. She starts 20:20 feeling the symptoms again. What's wrong? Her doctor is Weiss, so she's not going to 20:28 try the same antibiotics. Just going to go to something a little bit stronger. So she 20:33 prescribed the Ken and perhaps because in the patient to examine this time to make sure 20:39 she's not missing anything. Again, she feels better, not not just for 3 days, maybe 5 20:47 days treatment, and that should be good enough. It's a good practice. The next week, 20:54 the patients against heights fuming not so well. And the question comes, we need to do 21:01 something to find out what is causing this infection. The culture is done and back to 21:10 that growth. That's a e-coli is the most common one. But happens to be a very 21:16 persistent The decision starts questioning. Why would this patient of mine have been 21:24 racist and bacteria when she's never been hospitalized? She's never had procedures. I'm not 21:32 in contact with strange things. She's healthy. Otherwise what's happening? So 21:40 she decides to start asking more questions history, more questions, nutrition history. 21:46 What eat. What is your customer eat diet? Well, she says hamburger today, yes, 21:53 today. Fried chicken and a list UF. Animal Products. We know that in our society. Meet 22:06 is produced in the industry. Using all kinds of methods in order to produce. Quality. 22:17 Which requires giving hormones antibiotics and all kinds of they chemicals for the 22:22 animals. What happens is when and animals received bionics. Become. Laura because they do 22:35 have a micro biome not just humans. They also have a micro biome. And that micro Biome in 22:42 the animal, it turn 6 and it will quickly what Mike? Oh, yes. Micro Biome. If the 22:50 collection of bacteria good and bad, mostly good that we all have in different parts of 22:57 our bodies. Trillions of yes, even more than our own cells, right? We are outnumbered the 23:07 memorial them. Scary to think about. Yes. >> And 2 close. My little with 23:11 this lady. Because she did develop at risk systems. Bacteria required to be 23:20 hospitalized because she did not get better with the usual. I've got ticks and then up in 23:26 the hospital with IBM to buy attics, went home with an ID catheter. Complications 23:33 happen, cat that there's get infected ID catheters. Her Hearst did. And with that when 23:39 that happens, there is blood. There is bacteria floating in the bloodstream. 23:45 >> yes. 3 of them in it. And one of the very pretty licked sites of that body get 23:59 infected. >> Has to be the Yes, I've all the hard with. 24:03 >> And I can see here how the micro Biome when it's all to read by bad bacteria. In 24:10 relation to what the prison, Jess, what their diet is. Ends up harming the heart because 24:19 he was eating animal products that have been raised on. >> Antibiotics. She was 24:25 already developing resistance and she was developing certain bacteria that made her prone. 24:29 Yet recurrent infections that lead yes. And I think that's where we're getting these back 24:37 bacteria resistant infections to be, you know, people will say. 24:41 >> We eat cows, all eat. >> Perhaps that makes >> But they're not thinking 24:49 about the industry's doing to produce this quality product to keep the cows healthy. But 24:59 it's ruining their microbiomes and we adjust it and it's ruining our micro Biome. Yeah, 25:06 that's it. that's scary. What you've done in says got a freaky bacteria in the body 25:11 that really. >> Science has developed a way of correcting it So basically 25:15 you're just starting all over again with something that's new. So your experiment not 25:21 do, but I that it calls for that. so maybe maybe doctor, although you just talk about 25:26 the benefits to the immune system and everything else of these. 25:29 >> Bacteria that are normally in our bowels. what what's the purpose of them? How to help 25:35 when we're born, we're sterile inside her mother's And as soon as born in passed through 25:40 the birth canal. The baby bonus, you know, is born with an open mouth and is leaking 25:48 old the secretions you could use. >> For the healthy flora, that 25:52 a healthy mother so that those bacteria from Miami, Colon eyes, the baby's mouth and 26:00 guide and of course, the scheme with the bath of his shoes, given the clothes and 26:06 everything. But the got becomes colonize with good bacteria with healthy 26:09 bacteria, too. Hopefully. And then if out and gives breast milk. if it still is this good 26:19 bacteria, the cover intestinal cells. I think this also is a lake. Places like this and 26:24 they have seats for different and those seasonal like Sofia as like the Clangers and 26:33 certain bacteria just fit exactly their shape. Fits exactly those seats. Not those 26:37 receptions So when does go back to the final? Wow, we have a we have. We have a, you 26:43 know, and the search area here. We have a pop. So they sit there. They're there 26:46 watching for what comes through and they help our immune system. OK, guys, it'll 26:53 the new system that protein that is coming is really good. It's, you know, a vision of 26:57 approaching uses go. They'll get no, no need to us know to put Sen. The bacteria go. That 27:08 looks pretty much like the protests you having your own buddy. So Im Usos noses notice 27:14 that facility. This protein is pretty much like the ones we have in our blood is not 27:17 exactly the same. So they come an alert and they cause inflammation. Inflammation is 27:23 when a lot of white blood cells go to the same place because a lump. And because he 27:27 turned that place, I Spain usually because it can prisoners. So. We have to. So 27:34 if I can zone for you just you talked about inflammation. information leads to heart 27:40 disease that leads to South Los not just of the heart. >> But all the arteries or is 27:45 the order is done or legs. The orders to her brain. All these arteries start getting 27:50 inflamed because of inflammation. And it turns out that originates by a large 27:54 from what we evening, the bacteria in our ball, example recently has been researched 28:01 by researchers at the Cleveland Clinic. Recognize that there's a substance 28:07 called TM try metal amine oxide is actually developed in our in in our gut. It turns 28:16 out that people that eat a plant-based diet don't generate people that he had a 28:20 lot of meat products. Ken. They actually have high levels of starts off as proteins from 28:35 animal Products co lean in quarantine and different proteins that gets converted 28:37 by the bacteria in the gut. 2 tma. It gets absorbed through the gut into the liver and I 28:47 was in talks to the accident was causes inflammation all over the place. And it's known 28:50 to be a very potent stimulant of inflammation throughout our whole system. Once again, 28:57 stocks of those live liver that's called So interestingly, Cleveland 29:01 Clinic did research trial where they a group of vegetarians people that, you 29:05 know, plant based diet. Would you just go ahead and eat a hamburger so we can measure 29:09 your levels. They try to get 20 volunteers and they couldn't convince 20 plant 29:17 based vegetarians hamburger. So instead they give them calling tablets. And so the 29:21 calling tablets, it turns out. Didn't raise the levels of and people what isn't calling cap. 29:26 It's just. Animal protein. Okay. In the little town. Okay. So some weight lifters 29:35 take some of these substances to help boost their muscles. All right. But the very best 29:38 proteins are plant based proteins, the harmful proteins come from animal products and 29:44 these animal products got converted the but and vegetarians. They could take 29:49 those capsules for a week or 2 and it wouldn't raise the levels of. Of tma on their 29:55 blood stream. But if you are a mediator in your ball was colonized with bacteria that 29:58 are used to adjusting me. Like they've been talking about that shot up the levels 30:06 immediately and promoted out this which makes your risk for heart attack or stroke. So 30:12 there's this show relations this is what we used to call hard, but they are of their 30:16 orders. >> So that's pretty exciting. That's why I think this is a 30:20 really good top that. >> Yeah. And you know that I think stress has a lot to do 30:25 with her information. But I just want ask you one question. One thing that it 30:30 I've been taught is if you are given that say you do have some kind of infection. You're 30:35 given an antibody, be certain that you take the full and about young stop. But at the 30:42 end, you've got to be taking Because any time you take a guess what? 30:49 >> It's killing all those good little. >> to it in your micro your 30:54 good? It's Mitt. >> So how do you feel about? Taking probiotics or is there 31:01 a better way? >> To food that can. the good bacteria. your pump hopper is 31:13 a metro petting doctor. She's future on that. >> Film folks who are haven't 31:17 seen it. You need to see that because it's a conglomerate of old is new size developments 31:23 on a plant based diet. And now we're learning that humble diet, humble day homos that 31:30 the product. But something they get from the ground routes and green leaves. If 31:36 you boil this, eliminating the, you know, possible contaminants from the soil. 31:44 They produce the best food for your good bacteria. always have. Good bye you about even 31:49 though you take 2, 10 day course of antibiotics, you still have some remain because 31:54 remember, they are sitting with those chairs. Some of them says I'm with, you know, 31:59 as get it right. So then we may have they can duplicate easily, but they have to have 32:03 the right food. This comes on in your which is a 5 or the comes too many roots. So. 32:11 People that need to reform other Florida. Kenny, a suit made of fruits and green 32:17 leaves which routes potatoes, sweet potatoes, goalie beats carrots. Green leaves kale 32:25 spinach, cabbage. You just make a soup. So you feel I have to chill this. Well, you 32:33 can put any measure in Mission Blender. Yeah. And you have a cream you can feed. That was 7 32:37 days as you best except prebiotic is the food for the good bacteria? Because if 32:45 you're introducing other bacteria in the phones of capsules, reflective of seals 32:47 or what have you? You really we really don't know what we're doing. We're feel 32:55 billions here. You know, we like the Congress want to get a lot 32:59 >> Pretty soon we're have a got full of trillions bacteria that we didn't have to begin 33:04 with. And so we are. Basically don't know what we're doing. They're they're perfect in 33:13 bacteria. So maybe in a few years we have just the right combination. But imagine we 33:19 have thousands of kinds of bacteria and over sky and millions of them. So which is 33:24 the right amount were these. But here come from forms of capsules from your for healthy 33:29 France. They give you. thought those prebiotic better than pro is. Yeah. 33:39 >> We're fair play. wonderfully made who were would you get? example of 33:42 those 2? You've got plus bay equals pre body. The reward to what you were agreement, the 33:52 roots to greens. You know what Adam was told. That's a is that occurs, right? God didn't 33:56 resent it. He said now you have to work hard for before you just quit picking fruit, 34:03 the fruit market on the garden ice to sweat. You produce from the ground. But guess what, 34:08 you know, fine condition. That is the best diet. you feel you need to know if you have all 34:15 this festive drinks are going to feel like fall in oil on the world. A feat it's 34:20 humbling. You're accepting the recommendation that that gave But for his father. 34:28 >> Well, you've answered Michelles question from Tennessee said that's how you 34:31 the store. You're good got. Floor now it this is from to she did in Brooklyn, New York. 34:40 I want to know what Happ what happens when I ate as soon as I finish, I feel even more 34:49 hungry. It is very unpleasant and worrisome. That sounds like blood sugar in 34:56 >> Well, that's what we thought If you have good bacteria and that way to get 35:02 good bacteria increase their numbers is handle that If you have these good bacteria, 35:06 you're not going to get this show chain fatty acids which when you eat the fiber, you 35:15 kind of break down this fiber. You don't have the enzymes that the sisters to break this 35:18 and have sold into buddy, but menu to include bacteria they don't break it completely. 35:24 They end up with this says that only have 4 car bombs. They're short. They can be 35:28 taken a buyer Kalanick cells. Actually, there's the food. You know, our coal and the 35:35 large intestine. The wrecked him. Those are the most humble organs of everybody's right. 35:44 >> work. you want to talk about that? because they're they're they're in the diet 35:48 plays. No scientists are anyway. They don't get the food from the bloodstream, you 35:55 know, for says the rain then use them well, the heart is the one right behind us to get 35:58 their foot first TV. So that is the brain. And then doing tissues. 36:02 >> The kidneys, the liver. Everybody gets to share of oxygen and nutrients. And then 36:04 the call is like. One of us and it as well. Whatever the good bacteria you friend give 36:11 you. That's your foot. That should be your foot. So if you have good bacteria, they give 36:17 you all this food and you are kalanick cells are ready to protect this lining. It's only 36:23 a single layer of cells protecting us from old is possible that back to the 36:28 getting to us and a stream. So they have to think we have to love about with Rob it. know, 36:36 a little come I'll tee at night be free of We'll get a better, especially because of 36:44 blood has to flow through about. Kuz super stressed flows through our brain to ice 36:51 to heart or and the both. Okay. You guys are spending Wolf. 36:54 >> And I have to ask is one quick one follow up question because we just had a who 37:00 lymphocytic collide us from taking it because it has had re FOX. We all take reflux 37:07 medication like it was Candy. But he was on a proton pump for too long. Did not know it 37:15 was supposed to be short term right? So lymphocytic collide. Us is a very serious 37:22 condition. Speak to the acid reflex is is it really that we've got too much as sit in 37:29 our stomach or what's going on. We have for the facts. >> Can I add something? Just 37:34 the clothes? And that's the type the problem, you know, that feeling full yet. He is 37:39 one of the benefits of fiber beside someone like it are benefiting. And he explained 37:44 it's also the physical. Fiber expands in our stomachs and fiber is not in meat. Meet has 37:51 0 fiber. But fiber is in all the vegetables, all the fruit, all the means. All the 38:00 makings, all the cereals. They have fiber. So the more fiber you eat, the more following, 38:08 you'll have that sensation. >> And you can say things move through faster as well ready 38:16 for the keeps your mail going through sooner so that you'll be ready for the next meal. 38:21 Yeah, this little city collide as they talked about reflex right is so much reflects 38:25 because we don't drink water. So we have more acid we eat a lot of food. We feel ourselves 38:32 too much. We don't do like the have chin move principle. That means first time you get field 38:38 stop you. You're not. And then usually happens when we hit 75% of the capacity for 38:44 stumped in our society. We like to gorge. We like to get into a food coma, the amount 38:51 of food you really goes up into the esophagus and a lot of mysteries cars to people 38:56 take these pills. quick remedy. If you want to try, it's up to you. You can try. 39:03 But I do this my patients first. Make sure that you have had a test to see what your 39:08 insides look like you can use is safe recipe that you You was, you know, you Berets, 39:16 assaults are so serious conditions. It just reflects. also you can use this 39:20 concoction of 5. Raw potato peeled. Some things you might notice the fear that fits in 39:30 the palm of your You get this potato. You cut in pieces, right? Rob, it's going to 39:35 stick your rights. Let me start slimy. So you put in a blender. You put a couple of 39:40 water Leif ove cabbage. You blend that. You put it through a filter of coal in there and 39:46 that juice, you drink half an hour before you go to bed this slimy thing will cover. Eat 39:51 that. The U.S. the lower part. We'll cover your stomach for about 5 hours before your own 39:58 flu is start disintegrated. This fight will cover this overnight. When you lay flat, 40:02 you have more likelihood of having this reflects of acid or reflexes bile days, a few 40:08 fingers below the stomach. And if you need a high meet that it worth Greece indict, you 40:16 can have a lot more vile than a normal person and the violent. Yes. And you know, 40:20 they're out cleon us today really destroyed or cause pain and mystery. So we so yes, 40:28 place too. Let me just take one second here. They've got a very important job here. 40:34 >> Please text your questions. And let me give you that. The number for that with those 40:39 textures, 6, one, a 2, 2, 8, 3, 9, 7, 5, if you want to e-mail. It's live at 3ABN DOT 40:48 TV. Obviously, these are very smart doctors here. So if you've got a question now, be 40:58 a good time to send a man so that they can quickly and and their their explained in such 41:05 a way that they've dumbing it down. But you don't have to be have all these initials behind 41:11 your name to understand. I mean, this is really appreciated. 41:13 >> yeah. It yet. I I want to read this question from Judy in address this to Doctor 41:19 Schwartz. She says, please state your understandings of the effect of using the 9 for 41:27 hypertension. Thank you for taking these questions, Judy, from Texas. I was good have to 41:35 look that up >> Look at that connection. It's not one that directly. 41:41 No, okay. Okay. We didn't let me ask you this one current. I've heard someone else S 41:43 this. >> Missus doesn't say who it's from. Hi, I was wondering if 41:50 eating a very high fat meal. We're not used to it can put you into atrial fibrillation. 41:58 >> All right. That's a very good question. It referred listen. More likely occurs 42:06 with the upper chamber of the heart chronically stretching out over a long period of 42:09 time. Things that can contribute to the our obesity. So inning of that Emil over 42:17 and over and over is going to make you more likely eating a single fatty meal probably 42:21 won't having sleep apnea can make you more prone to referred a son. I'm having 42:27 high blood pressure that's not been controlled for a long time. Can cause the upper 42:30 chamber of the heart to just keep stretching out more and more and more. And then there 42:34 are some causes of it are for from that can occur. Even young people with normal 42:39 heart. So there's a whole spectrum that could happen. But curiously eating a single 42:44 fatty meal for someone who already has a plaque in their arteries, atherosclerosis can 42:50 cause that plaque to rupture from all the information that comes with a fatty meal and 42:55 that can trigger a heart attack even after a single fatty. Wow. So it is related. 43:01 Multiple fatty meals can lead to a truck from a lesson. But a single fatty meal could 43:04 could be the tipping point or it's incredibly stressful. A burger and Burger sic and 43:13 fries, many restaurants. But where you get a burger second fries, the classic American 43:18 diet is just the absolute worst thing for for heart disease. And that's why we 43:22 lead the world in heart disease. Yeah. >> you buy it, we've got it. I 43:27 know you better video and stress. I just want to ask how does stress affect the heart 43:31 rhythm? >> You know, so that's a very good question. So stress kind 43:36 of wraps up everything it can affect our arbol affects our brain. 43:42 >> You find information to it definitely affects inflammation. So for stress, 43:46 we're releasing stress hormones. >> One of them is adrenaline. 43:49 Another one is quarter zone. These things are circulating around that can cause the 43:55 vessels to constrict so that you're not getting good blood flow to the brain. You're not 44:00 getting good blood flow to your heart, not even getting good blood flow. 44:04 >> 2 other organs. so it's all tied together. Stress can occur for I mean, there's a 44:12 relationship between what we eat and how we have stress. But there's also a 44:15 relationship just to the environment, whether we're getting enough sleep weather, 44:19 we're dealing with stress or are internalizing stress. often when my patients come 44:23 in. Even when I used to practice internal medicine and I always used to say the 44:29 weakest Oregon breaks down first. When people are current too much stress and then we 44:33 see it over and over and often it's the heart, but it can be any organ. And so one of the 44:38 things a man does is produce educational videos that can be shown in church that can be 44:44 shown as educational programs in the doctor's office work even just be shared off off 44:50 the Internet in. We have one here tonight on stress. >> Let's watch this video 44:55 because it's fascinating. ♪ >> Hello, my name is Roger 45:06 Swell to and I'm a pulmonary and critical care specialist in Southern California. We're 45:10 did hundreds of COVID-19 patients. What is stress or more specifically the opposite 45:16 of stress. What is peace and how can it help you with COVID-19? Let me explain a 45:22 little bit about stress, you know, in the right amount. Stress can actually be very 45:27 motivated, but too much can be crippling. Let me tell you about one of the most 45:30 stressful parts of my life was when I was in medical school and exam weeks. We're coming 45:35 up. And with the amount of testing you do you always worry about how things are 45:39 going to be your stressed. You know, this could be career changing if you don't do well 45:43 on an examination. Well, a number of researchers took just those type of medical 45:48 students were in exam week and they tested them years ago for things like natural killer 45:55 cells and their ability to mount an immune response or make antibodies. And what they 46:00 found was that when they were under a lot of stress, these medical students had very low 46:05 natural killer cells and the antibody production. Their body was almost undetectable 46:11 when they took cells out of their body to see whether or not they would react like they 46:14 should in a test tube. They reacted very, very weakly. So these findings really shocked 46:20 the research community. And so 300 studies later and what we now know today is that stress, 46:27 whether it's just for a few days or for a few months or even for a few years can be 46:33 detrimental and bring down your immune system. And it seems as though this is even 46:38 more pronounced in people who are sick and who are elderly. Further analysis is actually 46:44 giving us some more information about stress as well. In first year, students 46:49 off at college who needed vaccination. They looked at what their antibody response 46:55 was and they found that there was poor antibody responses in students who were either not. 47:00 >> In a social network that was very large or under a lot of stress and isolation. So 47:05 how do you avoid stress? Well, you can't really avoid stress, but you can change how you 47:09 deal with it. For instance, you can take deep breaths every 4 to 6 seconds or you 47:15 could reach up to the sky as high as you can. And then back down again to the ground or 47:20 you can do pass of relaxation by 10 saying certain muscle groups for 5 to 10 seconds and 47:25 then allowing it to relaxed. These are practical things you can do to help with stress. If 47:31 you are part of a belief system and let's say you are with other people that are 47:35 part of the police system. Lets a church. Then you can actually use that belief 47:40 system to help the science has shown. And you can once again obtained the peace that passes 47:47 all understanding. Now during a pandemic experience, it's very difficult to kind of get 47:51 those networks that we need to help us deal with that kind of stress. But technology can be 47:57 a help. And it's not a barrier that you can't overcome. So make it a point every day to 48:03 get together and network with your acquaintances as you'll both get a benefit here we see 48:08 practical and simple methods that we can use along with advanced medical technology to 48:14 help enhance our God given immune system, we are fearfully and wonderfully 48:18 made. God has given us these ideas to protect us from harm. We learned to stay connected 48:25 and keep faith system and teach it to others so that we can hopefully prevent disease 48:29 and hospitalization. It just might help you. We're so in love from COVID-19. 48:35 ♪ ♪ >> Stress is a killer. I mean, 48:49 that's just the bottom line, isn't it? You have done some research while that was 48:54 running. >> So Judy, from Texas, you Sweat, we now know what 9 49:00 news. >> you have under you suggest using the 9. 49:07 >> For hyper to it's so thin. The 9 or else the a 9 is a natural substance that occurs 49:13 in a leaflet from tea green Commonly. You can get it as a supplement. I'm not a big 49:20 advocate of supplements. They all have a faxed us like medicines do so they should be 49:24 used carefully under the advice of a physician or nutritionist. It. But people 49:29 to help them relax and they help they take it to help them have a calming effect into 49:36 sleep. Better. And so anything that helps deal with stress and helps us relax could 49:41 potentially help reduce the risk for hypertension. So I don't actually currently 49:46 recommend that for my patients, but it could potentially have a use for 49:48 that. Okay. >> Let me ask you all this question because it's it has 49:53 to do with the heart. But I think in general, I do have a few and sometimes I get so 49:59 busy. I don't train enough water. And my doctor I called in once said, well, actually, 50:05 I went to see my general practitioner. He sent me to the electro physiologist hates 50:12 like having a heart attack over my heart. You know what? My physiologists. I texted 50:19 him. He's in. He said Shelley, I want you to drink 90 ounces of water today. We don't 50:27 understand what if you're not drinking enough water, volume stout, it's going to affect 50:34 your heart, your kidneys. Your got. It's going to affect everything, isn't it? 50:38 >> Our bodies are made up nearly of 60% water. And so we do need to replenish that. 50:44 It's cleansing the balls. It's cleansing through the kidneys. That's what's the major 50:49 component of our bloodstream that gets pumped through so water is that the key to life? 50:55 I think just as Jesus said, he is the water of life. It's very water is very, very 51:01 important. actually a man has a video on that that we can watch a little later. Okay. We 51:04 don't have time this from there we can. We have time to do it now that we can but do 51:11 that because >> you cannot lead if you research it. How important 51:15 water is for your how important it is for every organ in your face, your hair, 51:21 everything. That's what want. OK? >> We hear that. As the sound 51:31 of water. ♪ When you stop to think about 51:43 it, 70% of the earth's surface is covered in water. Now just as it is in nature. The same 51:48 is true of the human organism as well. Did you know that the body is composed of about 70 51:53 to 75% water? Will we stop and go even deeper than that? We discovered that the brain is 52:00 about 85% water. The blood about 82% water. The bowls about 25% water. The skin 52:09 about 64% water. The kidneys about 79% water and the list can go on and on and on. Most 52:19 interestingly, degenerative diseases and pain experienced can be simply prevented and 52:24 treated by increasing our daily. Want to For example, researchers have discovered 52:30 that those who drink 5 or more glasses of water a day. We're less likely to die from a 52:33 heart attack. So the question may be wondering, is how much water should right? Well, 52:42 general rule of thumb is that we should be drinking at least 50% or more of our body weight 52:48 in ounces. Now, this intake is going vary depending upon age location, temperature. And So 52:56 why am I telling you all this? Perhaps the path towards better health and a better 53:01 you. Wise and simply drinking water. >> me ask a question on this 53:19 water business. I've got a lot of friends that they've only been told 10,000 times. You 53:24 need to drink more water. But for some reason, it's not a priority. What would you 53:28 suggest? Could maybe you could sneak up on that water? It would taste the same or 53:35 something that would remind them. I need to start drinking more water. When I usually 53:42 tell my people my patience is. >> Get a bottle water and put in them some mean cleves, some 53:50 slices. So cucumbers, Sam peels of lemon or lines make it infused. Water will taste 53:58 different and make it your water to drink. It's amazing how much takes so much knee 54:06 joint pains, constipation, re flocks. But he is resold by Drinking water is a 54:16 no-brainer. Really not sitting here. And I've got say, let's just say a 30 ounce bottle, my 54:21 little aluminum bottle of water. We know there by carries around. 54:25 >> Okay after that with cucumbers to put lineup with a lemon slices there with thing 54:28 in there. And I drink it. Is that into that for the day? Do I go out night? But the second 54:35 thing to pull those cucumbers everything out of Usos cucumbers all day long for 54:38 this for that day, you can use it for all day long. Okay. they can use it as composed 54:45 when you get home, a man. >> Don't get much better. That does right. 54:50 >> What I've learned to do is I get out 6 bottles for water put in by my desk and I just 54:57 know that come the end of the day, I needed handle 6 news. This is a live program. We're 55:03 taking your general questions about gut health. Infectious. We've got at a 55:11 gastroenterologist an infectious disease. Doctor and a cardiologist with us 55:16 tonight. So you can send your life questions by text. You can text 6, 1, 8, 2, 2, 8, 3, 55:25 9, 7, 5, or you can send them by email to live at 3ABN that TV and with got a few more 55:33 questions, it seems like there's a lot of a fair question. 7 is skip over this 55:38 for just a month. Well, greeted news Let me ask this one. I have a fair bit about 55:47 once a month that last about 8 to 12 I do not want to take blood thinners. So I just take 55:57 5 81 miligrams as springs. When I have Is this good? >> better than nothing. So the 56:07 problem with that refer the upper chamber of the heart gets larger larger. The kids 56:13 Kim's to quiver out of sync with the lower chamber. So the upper chambers was quivering 56:17 and on the upper chamber of the left atrium was a little up and is about the size of my 56:22 thumb. We called the lef teacher Le Pen duds and blood clots can form in hearts not 56:28 squeezing vigorously. So if the heart's quivering, if it's just for a few hours, you'll 56:34 probably be fine. But we use the measurement of about 6 hours or more starts become 56:38 dangerous that you could form a blood clot in here. And then when the heart goes back into 56:42 rhythm, that could squeeze that blood clot out inland in your brain that can land other 56:45 places as well. But if it lands in the brain, you're going to have a stroke. So 56:51 this is the one area that I'm really reluctant to say. There's a natural replacement 56:54 for blood thinners. Aspirin, thins. Your blood a little bit. And that may prevent But 57:01 aspirin reduces the risk of stroke the risk of stroke. If you have it, lessons about 5%. 57:07 And if you take aspirin is going to reduce that to about 4%. If you take an actual 57:12 blood thinner or reduce that down to one percent. In so there is a procedure that I do 57:18 and other cardiologists can do where we bring a little up through your vein. Not not in 57:25 a but all but a Katherine, your heart. And then we put a plug. |
