Do want to protect yourself
with strong and healthy bones?
00:00:16.61\00:00:19.38
If so, you're not going
to want to miss this program,
00:00:19.61\00:00:21.75
stay with us.
00:00:21.78\00:00:23.12
I'm Dr. James
Marcum, are you interested in
00:00:23.69\00:00:26.86
discovering the reason why?
00:00:26.89\00:00:29.02
Do you want solutions
to your healthcare problem?
00:00:29.06\00:00:31.56
Are you tired of
taking medications?
00:00:31.59\00:00:34.60
Well, you're about to be given
"The Ultimate Prescription"
00:00:34.63\00:00:39.23
One out of 2 people - those are
the odds of breaking your bone
00:00:40.30\00:00:44.17
if you are a woman
over the age of 50.
00:00:44.21\00:00:46.47
How can we avoid being
a statistic? Dr. Marcum...
00:00:46.51\00:00:49.78
Well, no one wants to be a
statistic, Nick. That's right.
00:00:49.81\00:00:53.11
And everyone wants
strong bones. Certainly!
00:00:53.15\00:00:55.78
And, you know, what's
sort of interesting is
00:00:55.82\00:00:57.92
I really got interested
in this topic because so many
00:00:57.95\00:01:01.39
people break bones when
they get older. That's right
00:01:01.62\00:01:04.53
Also, some people
break bones when get younger,
00:01:04.56\00:01:07.16
and when a person breaks a bone,
00:01:07.20\00:01:09.70
it triggers a lot of
other bad things to happen.
00:01:09.73\00:01:12.93
I can't tell you, how many
people when they get older,
00:01:12.97\00:01:15.04
they have a hip fracture
and if they have a hip fracture,
00:01:15.07\00:01:18.41
they can't move.
00:01:18.44\00:01:19.77
And sometimes
when they can't move,
00:01:19.81\00:01:21.14
they get blood
clots in their legs.
00:01:21.18\00:01:22.78
Sometimes when they get
blood clots in their legs,
00:01:22.81\00:01:24.68
they have emboli,
pulmonary embolism.
00:01:24.71\00:01:27.18
Sometimes they
don't take deep breaths.
00:01:27.22\00:01:29.48
They get infections, pneumonias.
00:01:29.52\00:01:32.32
Sometimes when people
break bones or in more pain,
00:01:32.35\00:01:34.96
they don't eat as
well, their bowel slows down.
00:01:34.99\00:01:37.09
They end up taking
other pain medications
00:01:37.13\00:01:39.26
which slows down their bowels.
00:01:39.29\00:01:40.86
So breaking a bone,
especially older in life,
00:01:40.90\00:01:44.27
is catastrophic, so
I want to talk today
00:01:44.30\00:01:46.84
about things that we can do
to help make our bones stronger;
00:01:46.87\00:01:52.04
little things that we
can do because part of
00:01:52.07\00:01:54.58
our bone health is
not as good as we age.
00:01:54.61\00:01:58.81
and that's just part of aging.
00:01:58.85\00:02:00.72
And, we lose about
15% of our bone density,
00:02:00.75\00:02:04.82
a woman does,
in the 5 to 7 years
00:02:04.85\00:02:08.29
after menopause.
00:02:08.32\00:02:09.82
So just from
losing that estrogen,
00:02:09.86\00:02:11.49
you start losing your
bones, and as everyone knows,
00:02:11.53\00:02:14.43
when people get older,
you see them - they don't
00:02:14.46\00:02:16.77
walk as well - they
start to teeter and fall,
00:02:16.80\00:02:19.13
well part of that is the aging
process, but there are a lot of
00:02:19.17\00:02:22.30
things that we can
do to help with that.
00:02:22.34\00:02:24.01
Now before you go on,
if you think of animals,
00:02:24.04\00:02:27.98
if you thought what animal
has the strongest bones...
00:02:28.01\00:02:31.95
what animal would you
think had the strongest bones?
00:02:31.98\00:02:34.55
I would think that giraffes
have pretty strong bones.
00:02:34.58\00:02:37.49
Okay, I wouldn't think giraffe,
I would think elephants.
00:02:37.52\00:02:40.66
Elephants because
they're heavier maybe, huh?
00:02:40.72\00:02:42.06
I would think elephants
because they're so big,
00:02:42.09\00:02:44.13
and they have these big
bones that come out of their...
00:02:44.16\00:02:46.23
the tusks, right...they have
tusks, the ivory and those guys
00:02:46.26\00:02:50.40
are pretty strong to carry
a big beast like that around.
00:02:50.43\00:02:54.54
And the general
principle is those animals
00:02:54.57\00:02:57.27
are always on the move. Right
00:02:57.31\00:02:58.94
They don't sit
down and take it easy.
00:02:58.97\00:03:00.74
The elephants, I see the
movies and they're drinking
00:03:00.78\00:03:03.14
water through their
trunks all the time...
00:03:03.18\00:03:05.31
And, an elephant is a
whole food plant-base person.
00:03:05.35\00:03:09.42
You know, he eats whole
plants, so those are some of the
00:03:09.45\00:03:11.82
characteristics of what will
make us have strong bones. Sure
00:03:11.85\00:03:15.19
Moving - moving weight
around, eating a healthy diet,
00:03:15.22\00:03:18.83
drinking water - those are some
characteristics that will help
00:03:18.86\00:03:21.73
us make strong bones. Right
00:03:21.76\00:03:24.20
So, we're going to talk
about something else before we
00:03:24.23\00:03:26.37
get to some questions that
have come into our website,
00:03:26.40\00:03:28.17
and that's first aid... and
I brought my own first aid kit
00:03:28.20\00:03:31.77
in here and I thought
we might take a look at it.
00:03:31.81\00:03:33.17
Well I'm glad you brought
that, you know, we've been
00:03:33.27\00:03:35.31
talking about different
first aids, and of course,
00:03:35.34\00:03:37.35
we've been giving a person
that would make a large kit.
00:03:37.38\00:03:39.95
This is a much smaller kit
that you could take in a car...
00:03:39.98\00:03:42.92
You could take that
in a backpack. Right
00:03:42.95\00:03:45.15
Why don't you open it up
and show us what inside of it?
00:03:45.19\00:03:47.36
Well that's what I bought
it for, I like to do a lot of
00:03:47.39\00:03:48.72
camping and
backpacking with my friends,
00:03:48.76\00:03:50.56
and so this is a good
size, it's not too heavy,
00:03:50.59\00:03:52.59
and I could take it with me.
00:03:52.63\00:03:53.96
And so, when we open it up
here, I've got a set of gloves,
00:03:54.00\00:03:56.33
so that I can be as safe as
possible and one of the first
00:03:56.36\00:04:00.47
things that we've got is
we've got an Ace bandage here.
00:04:00.50\00:04:02.77
Yep, that's good
to stabilize joints.
00:04:02.80\00:04:04.37
That's right to
stabilize joints.
00:04:04.41\00:04:05.74
And we also have some
scissors and a bunch of bandages
00:04:05.77\00:04:07.64
in the back here and a lot
of bandages so that if there's
00:04:07.68\00:04:11.41
bleeding, we can just keep
putting more fresh bandages on
00:04:11.45\00:04:14.78
and try and
eliminate that bleeding.
00:04:14.82\00:04:16.15
And there's also
some medications here
00:04:16.18\00:04:17.99
for some basic... I
think there's some Benadryl
00:04:18.02\00:04:20.02
for allergies and
that type of thing.
00:04:20.06\00:04:21.72
And, we also have a CPR
face shield right there.
00:04:21.76\00:04:24.26
Good, good. So
those are some things
00:04:24.29\00:04:26.19
We also have antiseptics
to help fight infections,
00:04:26.23\00:04:28.96
and some gauze here
as well for more wounds.
00:04:29.00\00:04:32.83
So this is a much smaller kit,
00:04:32.87\00:04:35.20
and doesn't have
as much in there,
00:04:35.24\00:04:36.77
but what a few things
that you think I might want to
00:04:36.81\00:04:38.61
make sure that I have in here.
00:04:38.64\00:04:39.97
Well, you know, you've
got a bug bite apparatus
00:04:40.01\00:04:44.18
where you deal with bug
bites, where you can deal with
00:04:44.21\00:04:46.61
bad bug bites a
little more, that might help.
00:04:46.65\00:04:49.75
You've got some good
things for compression
00:04:49.78\00:04:51.89
and stop
bleeding, so that's good.
00:04:51.92\00:04:53.62
This can also immobilize
joints, so that's very valuable.
00:04:53.66\00:04:57.16
You've got some different
things for pain and for
00:04:57.19\00:05:00.30
antihistamine - so
that's pretty good.
00:05:00.33\00:05:02.56
You've got tons of
bandages, that all helps. Right
00:05:02.60\00:05:05.13
So I think you've got sort of
the basics covered there, Nick.
00:05:05.17\00:05:09.67
If someone was to get
dehydrated or have diarrhea,
00:05:09.70\00:05:14.94
you might want to
add some tablets to that.
00:05:14.98\00:05:17.25
Some water purification
tablets might help if you
00:05:17.28\00:05:20.18
have room for that. Right
00:05:20.22\00:05:21.55
And, of course, we've
talked of the more advanced kits
00:05:21.58\00:05:25.22
that we have, have
more advanced apparatus,
00:05:25.25\00:05:27.52
but I think that
covers it pretty well.
00:05:27.56\00:05:28.96
Yeah, it's a great
idea to have just a small
00:05:28.99\00:05:30.99
kit that you can
kind of take anywhere,
00:05:31.03\00:05:32.66
and always have ready.
00:05:32.69\00:05:34.03
Well that's good and I
like that you have the gloves
00:05:34.06\00:05:35.80
in case, you know, if
you don't want to contaminate
00:05:35.83\00:05:38.20
yourself with
blood. That's right
00:05:38.23\00:05:39.73
And, hopefully, we
won't need that first aid kit
00:05:39.77\00:05:43.00
during this program
today. Hopefully not...
00:05:43.04\00:05:45.01
Hopefully we won't start
bleeding and I promise you
00:05:45.04\00:05:47.54
I won't hit you with the reflex
hammer. I'd appreciate that!
00:05:47.58\00:05:50.28
You know, we don't use
these as much as we used to.
00:05:50.38\00:05:53.05
We used to hit the reflexes
to test the nervous system
00:05:53.08\00:05:56.58
to see if it was working well.
00:05:56.62\00:05:58.29
But we're going to
really focus on bones,
00:05:58.32\00:06:00.22
and there have been so many
questions that come in about
00:06:00.26\00:06:02.76
bones that I think
we're going to learn a lot
00:06:02.79\00:06:04.69
from these questions
we cover. That's right
00:06:04.73\00:06:07.33
And if you have a question,
you're watching at home,
00:06:07.36\00:06:09.06
and you want to ask
Dr. Marcum a question,
00:06:09.10\00:06:11.17
go to our website:
heartwiseministries.org
00:06:11.20\00:06:14.40
and you can ask the doctor.
00:06:14.44\00:06:15.77
We're going to be right back in
just a moment, and stay with us.
00:06:15.80\00:06:18.84
