00:01 Dr. Marcum, before we get to our questions
00:03 I wanna, I wanna clarify something in my own mind. 00:06 I needed to you help me to do that. 00:07 Yeah, I'll do that. 00:08 When we are listening to music, 00:10 we're using one of our senses. 00:12 What part do senses play in health? 00:17 You understand what I'm trying to say there? 00:18 Yes, I do. And I think this is an underestimated thing 00:21 that we don't talk much about medicine, Charles. 00:24 And you think about it. 00:25 Every sense that we have creates a chemical reaction. 00:28 So we have hearing, we have seeing, we have tasting-- 00:31 Yeah, all of those, influences if you see bad things 00:33 that causes chemical reaction in the brain. 00:35 If I pop you right here, Charles, 00:37 you gonna have a chemical reaction 00:39 when you start to hurt. 00:40 Yes, I am. Okay. 00:41 The same thing with sounds. 00:42 Birds have a chemical reaction when we hear the birds. 00:45 If we hear dissonant sounds, things that damage our brains, 00:48 we also turn on the limbic system. Yeah. 00:50 You know we turn off the prefrontal lobe, 00:52 the part that makes us communicate with God. 00:56 And these things are so critical to us 00:58 that we don't even put those into context 01:00 sometimes in medicine. 01:01 We say, well, a person is not doing well. 01:03 Let me give them a medicine. 01:05 You know, let me not try to sum up everything 01:07 that makes up good health. 01:09 Let me look at some of the senses things, 01:11 the music that comes in whether, 01:13 you know, the things we talked about before the hydration, 01:16 all of these changes are chemistry. 01:17 Like you mentioned the Florida hospital study changes 01:20 the body's chemistry. 01:21 Well, maybe people are taking and damaging sounds, 01:24 that s damaging and turning on the stress chemical. 01:27 And maybe a little bit of stress from not sleeping well, 01:29 a little bit from not drinking enough water, 01:31 not resting well, bad sounds in a life, 01:34 and also emotional things, 01:36 having wrong concepts in relationships, 01:38 maybe that brings us above a line that didn't turns on 01:40 all these stress cascade then these symptoms happen, 01:43 then the symptoms happen. 01:45 It requires a medication or acute care medicine. 01:47 Or maybe all along if we got back to the principles 01:50 given us to God at creation, maybe that would solve 01:53 a lot of our--it would solve a lot of our problems. 01:55 And, you know, and you know birds, 01:58 birds where there for reason. 02:00 Music is there for reason. 02:01 So as we look at our own lives, as we examine 02:06 why we are sick. 02:09 We would do well to start checking 02:13 what is happening in our senses. 02:15 I'm talking about taste. Everything. 02:17 I'm talking about sight what we're looking at, 02:19 what we're hearing. Right. 02:22 Our senses are indicators 02:26 of some of the problems that might be there. 02:27 Right 'cause that's the way things 02:29 are coming into our system. 02:30 And that's why it's so important to get back 02:32 to God's plan and incorporate Him in any treatment plan. 02:35 That relationship so He can bring us truth. 02:38 The world's not gonna tell us what's true out there. 02:40 They're not gonna say these things are damaging us 02:42 only God can lead us in this relationship. 02:45 But let's get some of the questions here. 02:46 Absolutely. This is from heartwiseministries.org. 02:49 Dr. Marcum, and we're gonna 02:50 talk about these questions here. 02:51 By the way listener and viewer, if you would like 02:54 to have some questions discussed on this program 02:58 just go to www.heartwiseministries.org, 03:02 there's a place to click and you can leave your question 03:05 for us and we might talk about it right here on this program. 03:07 But they'll be addressed on the website as well. 03:10 Okay, we haven't talked that much about fish. 03:11 I like talking about birds and fish. 03:13 Let's talk about fish here. 03:15 It seems that a lot of people think that fish 03:17 only good for one thing, 03:19 and that is to put lemon on and eat. Okay. 03:22 But here is a person asking question 03:24 about that very thing. 03:26 "I enjoy fish." This is Buddy and Mane. 03:28 Okay, Mane. "I enjoy fish. 03:30 Is there a real mercury risk in fish? 03:35 And then I want to add also, 03:36 is it then okay for us to eat farm grown fish?" 03:40 Yeah, and you know, this one buddy, 03:43 is a good better best one, okay. 03:45 We do know that mercury is in fish. 03:49 And there is this property called bioamplification, 03:53 where not only mercury but other chemicals 03:55 are amplified as it moves up to food chain 03:58 For instance a fish eats this animal that eats this animal 04:01 that eats this animal. 04:02 Well, way down to food chains it's not very amplified. 04:05 But it gets amplified up to food chains 04:07 the actual concentrations are actually very high in a fish. 04:10 Okay, all right. These chemical, especially mercury, 04:13 were not made to be in, in human bodies, okay. 04:17 So Buddy ask is there a real mercury risk. 04:20 Well, I'd have to say, yes, there is a risk. 04:22 Is it a high risk? 04:24 I don't know. It's according to how much mercury 04:26 is in that fish. 04:27 We do know that--that in the better best diet 04:31 we want to have more foods and vegetables, 04:33 nuts and grains and less fish, but I would have to say, 04:36 Buddy, there is a real risk that comes with eating 04:39 anything that could eat something else. 04:41 For instance, you know the same with plants. 04:44 There are certain plants had risks too if they're spread 04:46 with certain pesticides, you know, in certain animals, 04:50 you know, whether it'd be chickens or cattle, 04:54 they all have risk depending 04:56 on what brings them into market 04:57 and what that animal has in their life. 04:59 Now we'll say that plants have less interactions 05:02 in other things, and the main thing I'm concerned-- 05:03 They don't eat by just the nature. 05:05 The main thing I'm concerned about plants 05:06 now is pesticides and genetically modified material. 05:10 And how they're fertilized? 05:12 That's correct. A lot of problems we're having today 05:14 with plants is not because there is a problem 05:16 with the plant, there's a problem 05:18 with how they fertilize the plant. 05:19 And so we have this salmonella. 05:20 We have these pesticides. 05:22 We have these problems happening 05:23 not because of the plant. 05:24 There's nothing wrong with the plant. 05:26 It's what they fertilize the plant with. 05:27 And by the way the question about the fish, 05:29 I asked you because I happen 05:30 to know the answer of this one. 05:32 Try to find clean water in this world. 05:35 Just try, go ahead. 05:36 And there is amplification that Dr. Marcum 05:38 was talking about when you put fish 05:40 into any kind of water supply, 05:44 you gonna have residue in that water. 05:46 No matter where, that is, if it's inland some place 05:49 or it's in a farm fish, fish farm I should say, 05:52 you gonna have water that is polluted 05:54 and then that amplification happens. 05:56 The fish polluted more and up 05:59 we go, and we're off to the races. 06:00 By getting back to Buddy, you know, we can worry about 06:03 all of the stuff and we can also create stress 06:05 just from worrying about every little thing. 06:07 And that's why I think it really takes the power of God 06:10 in a life and that relationship to help 06:13 each one of us know where God is leading us. 06:15 You can sit down to a perfectly good meal 06:17 and you have all the good things 06:19 here and you're saying, oh, am I eating right thing? 06:21 Should I eat this first and that first? 06:23 Do I have this? Should I eat it raw? 06:25 Should I eat it cooked? And stress 06:27 will cause more problems. 06:28 That's right. I think we don't have a hamburger. 06:30 That's exactly right. 06:31 And that's why it takes this relationship to give us 06:34 the power to help us to understand 06:35 where we should go. Yeah. 06:36 This world is not a perfect world, Charles. 06:39 I could find something wrong with literally everything. 06:41 But through this relationship into the change, 06:43 we try to grow with Christ. 06:46 We try to work along this line towards 06:48 the best as God leads us. 06:50 It's all about risks management. 06:52 Yes. Quite to do the things in your life 06:54 that reduces the risks as far as possible. 06:56 And what God said right here in Genesis. 06:59 It's a great way to start, it reduces risk enormously. 07:02 Okay, another question here from heartwiseministies.org. 07:07 What is avian flu? My uncle had this last year. 07:10 This is Jillian, Minnesota. 07:12 Yeah, Jill, this has nothing to do really with the birds 07:16 singing that we talked about early. 07:18 This is a disease that's passed on from birds 07:21 and it passes to humans. 07:23 And what I really want to let you know 07:24 is that we do contract diseases from animals. 07:28 And as we've eaten animals like chickens, 07:31 and you know, mad cow disease for instance, 07:33 you know, you don't get mad cow 07:34 disease unless you eat cows. 07:36 You know, and certain diseases that's passed on by birds. 07:39 You don't get those unless you eat birds. 07:41 So animals do carry diseases and germs 07:44 that can be passed on from person to person 07:46 that can cause problems. 07:47 So if you want, you know, avian flu is an infection 07:50 that's passed on from birds and it's something 07:52 that can be treated and it's something 07:54 that's very hard to diagnose. 07:56 So if you have flu like symptoms 07:58 you might want to see an infectious disease doctor 08:00 who wants to test you for that. 08:02 But almost every infectious 08:03 disease doctor regards the flu, 08:04 they gonna do a detailed history of everything 08:06 you've eaten and been in contact 08:08 with 'cause you gonna pass this viruses 08:10 that are within the animals that are changing. 08:12 That's why, you know, these things like mad cow disease 08:16 and avian flu, you know, people that eat 08:18 a plant-based diet just don't have problems 08:20 with this because they don't bring those things 08:21 into their lives so those viruses 08:23 can't get into their bodies. 08:24 Let's get to the source. 08:26 Let's find out how we can prevent the problem 08:29 not just cover it up. 08:31 This reminds me, Dr. Marcum, of something 08:33 I heard the other day. 08:34 You're saying that if you don't wanna have a avian flu 08:37 then don't eat birds, if you don't wanna have these problem 08:40 don't eat the animals. 08:42 We know that high cholesterol is a problem in this country 08:44 because of our diet and the standard American diet 08:47 is very high and saturated fat et cetera, et cetera. 08:50 So it was discussed. This is actually happening. 08:54 It has been discussed that maybe we should put some kind 08:57 of statin in the water supply, 09:00 so that when we have our cholesterol growing up, 09:05 the statins that we have put in the water supply 09:07 is actually helping keep the cholesterol down the-- 09:12 What are your statins in the water supply? 09:14 Here's a thought, don't eat animal products. 09:19 Don't eat cholesterol. 09:21 Let's talk about prevention here. 09:22 Yeah. You know, let you know that's very important, 09:24 but when you work with patients 09:26 everyday it's not that easy. 09:28 Most of the society can't just turn it off. 09:30 Well, it is that easy, 09:31 but they're not allowing it to be that easy. 09:33 Right. They just can't turn it off, 09:34 all this marketing, the way they've been raised, 09:36 their culture, there's neural synapses in the brain 09:39 that brings pleasure had been turned on 09:41 since they were babies. That's true. 09:42 They've eaten this way. 09:43 And only way you turn the lights oh, 09:45 they can no with intellectually. 09:47 I know people that know this intellectually all the time. 09:49 But it takes the higher power to change, 09:52 to create a new brain, a new heart. 09:54 It's easy for people to say, 09:56 "oh, this is what you gonna do," makes no sense. 09:57 And for some people it doesn't make sense. 10:00 But a lot of people just don't find it that easy. 10:02 It takes the higher to reprogram 10:04 how they've lived their entire life. 10:06 Boy that is important. 10:08 Yeah. For those people who are struggling with this, 10:12 one step at a time. Let's just be-- 10:13 Let's get to our next question. 10:14 I think that's a good one-- Let's do this one. 10:16 I am a caregiver. This is Patty in Kentucky. 10:19 I'm a caregiver for my aunt 10:20 who becomes very agitated at night. 10:23 She is so weak. I'm concerned about giving her more 10:25 medications, any suggestions. This is a problem. 10:27 Yes, yes. Maybe, see what medicines or doctor 10:30 can take her off in music. 10:33 Maybe some music that she can hear some wonderful things 10:36 and nice music at night, you know, play some nature songs 10:39 maybe the water, maybe that will help 10:41 her little bit to come less agitated. 10:44 We've seen in studies that calming music 10:46 helps calm the soul, helps turn down adrenaline 10:49 and the stress hormones, helps make endorphins higher. 10:52 I don't think it's gonna hurt. 10:53 I don't think it's gonna cause any side-effects. 10:56 But play music, play some of the music that she liked 10:58 when she was younger when she was growing up, 11:00 and see if that might help this agitating state. 11:03 I've even seen studies where Alzheimer patients 11:05 respond to music from so far back. 11:08 They may not be able to remember your name. 11:10 But they know that tune. So music is very-- 11:12 I remember, all treatments, Charles, doesn't necessarily 11:15 have to do necessarily with the body. 11:18 Sometimes you can change the brain. 11:20 The brain and the body are very much in related. 11:22 And if we can change the brain the body will follow as well. 11:25 Wow. These have been very important questions 11:28 and we are really appreciate you providing this for us. 11:31 Once again if you would like to add your question 11:33 to our list, please go to www.heartwiseministeries.org, 11:39 and there you can leave the question, 11:40 and we'll address you right here on the program. 11:42 But Lord wants to put into our hearts a new song, 11:46 a new song for us to sing. 11:48 A song that will bring us healing and that song 11:51 may include some changes 11:52 that we need to make in our lives. 11:54 So there our rhythm and our song is different. Stay tuned. 12:07 I hope you've learned something. 12:09 You know, we started talking about birds and the songs 12:11 that they sing and I hope that bring some 12:13 relaxation to your life. 12:15 We've talked about Biblical treatments 12:17 the way we can change our body 12:20 with all these Biblical technology 12:21 that God's given us. 12:23 These changes are not easy. 12:25 In my life, they haven't been easy. 12:27 I see patients everyday in the office 12:29 and when we present these concepts, 12:31 people have a hard time changing 12:33 until they plug into the power of the Holy Spirit, 12:36 that relationship gives them the power to meet 12:39 them where we through at. 12:40 We want to love people and not judge people 12:43 and also wrap the truth in love. 12:46 When this accomplishes God can do great things. 12:49 I'm gonna pray for you right now. 12:50 Let's bow our heads. 12:53 Heavenly father, we come to you. 12:55 We thank you for the birds that sing songs. 12:57 Father, there might be someone in our audience 12:59 that needs healing. 13:01 We wanna pray for that healing 13:02 that can come from a relationship with you father. 13:05 And if they haven't accepted you Father at this point, 13:07 please enter their lives. 13:09 Thank you for all this Biblical technology 13:11 you've given us and give us the power 13:13 to apply to our life as you lead us. 13:16 This is our most humble prayer. Amen 13:20 Some of the concepts you hear 13:21 you don't necessarily hearin the doctor's office. 13:23 But there are very important in the chemistry. 13:26 The senses that we talked about 13:28 how it changes who you are. 13:29 It's important what you're listening to. 13:31 It's important what you're drinking. 13:33 It's important to what you're drinking. 13:35 Sometimes what you're listening to changes 13:37 your mind, your neural pathways, it disrupts it. 13:40 It turns on the stress part of the brain 13:42 and not the front part of the brain 13:44 where we do our communication with God. 13:46 I wanna invite you to turn these health issues 13:49 over through the great physician. 13:51 Let Him be a part of your treatment plan, 13:53 showing you the place for modern medicine and lifestyle, 13:56 but always including Him. 13:57 Thank you for joining us today 13:59 on, "The Ultimate prescription". |
