00:01 The following program presents
00:02 principles designed to promote good health 00:04 and is not intended to take the place 00:05 of personalized professional care. 00:07 The opinions and ideas expressed are those of the speaker. 00:10 Viewers are encouraged to draw their own conclusions 00:13 about the information presented. 00:16 You do everything right but you are still sick. 00:20 The problem may not be your food or genes or mind. 00:26 It may be your environment. 00:28 Stay tuned. 00:30 I am Dr. James Marcum 00:32 are you interested in discovering the reason why. 00:36 You want solutions to your health care problems. 00:38 Are you tired of taking medications? 00:41 Well, you are about to be given the Ultimate Prescription. 00:47 Multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome, 00:53 anyone who has it wishes he or she didn't. 00:56 Suffering from this conditions means that, 00:58 you are allergic to or affected by 01:01 most anything from diesel fumes to perfumes. 01:05 As I said before those with MCS Syndrome 01:08 are usually affected by anything 01:09 that didn't come directly from the hand of God. 01:13 Is there hope? 01:15 There is always hope. 01:16 Dr. Marcum, I want to begin 01:18 by saying thank you for addressing this issue. 01:21 It has a personal impact with me and my family 01:25 and I am so proud of you for talking about this 01:27 and apparently someone else what to hear about this 01:29 because you shape these programs 01:31 from what you get on the heartwiseministries.org website. 01:34 Yeah and sometimes what we deal with at the website is not easy. 01:38 Because like I said a person that got me interested in this 01:41 is a person that came to the website 01:43 said listen, I need some hope. 01:45 You know, I had been to numerous doctors with problems. 01:48 I can't find out what the problem is. 01:51 I think I might have Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. 01:54 And she gave some of the symptoms, 01:57 you know, she repeatedly had, 01:59 you know, symptoms on low exposures. 02:02 It was affecting her entire life. 02:04 And when she moved away from the exposure she got better. 02:07 Almost everything that would go with this 02:09 and everything else checked out okay. 02:11 She didn't know where to go to answers 02:13 because there are not many people. 02:14 She had been to numerous doctors 02:16 and unfortunately this syndrome, a lot of doctors-- 02:20 because there's not lot of literature out on that. 02:21 So lot of people say 02:23 listen, there is nothing to this, it's in your mind. 02:26 And mainly woman are affected by this-- 02:29 this condition but it's real. 02:32 Those real symptoms, those real chemical reactions 02:35 and plug in through the research we found that, 02:37 you know, there are some people who had done some research 02:39 especially some of the Italians 02:41 and they think it might be an inflammatory reaction 02:44 triggered by immune system 02:46 and this inflammation can affect multiple organs of the body 02:49 and cause multiple illnesses. 02:50 But it's something that-- 02:51 you know, we don't want to stray away 02:53 from topics just because they are hard. 02:54 And as physicians, 02:56 you know, physicians sometimes don't have all the answers 02:59 and sometimes we don't know 03:00 and sometimes we want to give people something 03:03 that they can hold on to it. 03:04 You know, give them hope. 03:05 So at least in this program 03:06 I want to talk a little bit about 03:08 even though we don't know lot about it, 03:10 well, what it is and give some real life examples 03:12 of how we might be able to help people out with the syndrome. 03:15 And I understand that that you have some experience with this. 03:17 Absolutely, my wife has multiple chemical sensitivity 03:21 and I know that she will be watching 03:22 this program very closely 03:24 and I'm gonna be listening very closely to what you have to say. 03:28 You know, any one who has it like I've said 03:30 anyone who has it or who is has a loved one having it 03:34 you realize it really isn't of the mind 03:36 because it may affect the mind but it's not of the mind. 03:39 Because I have seen my wife go through this for decades 03:43 and if it was of the mind, the mind changes as years go by. 03:47 So there's got to be something more to hear. 03:50 And before we did this program, 03:52 before I sort of doing research for this program I asked her. 03:55 I said, now what do you want to tell people? 03:57 And we are gonna be showing you 03:59 some things that she has suggested for you. 04:01 But before that she says, make sure you understand one thing. 04:06 You don't get cured from it, you deal with it. 04:09 There is no pill for it, there is no procedure for it. 04:13 There may be some program as you can go to 04:15 usually very expensive ones 04:16 that might minimize the impact 04:18 of certain environmental issues on your body. 04:21 But this is something you really need to learn to live with. 04:24 This is something that's not going to go away. 04:27 That's a very important point. 04:29 But then she also told me to tell you 04:31 this is coming from my wife 04:32 who has had multiple chemical sensitivities for decades, 04:36 there are things you can do to minimize the impact. 04:40 Some of these things you have to do may be kind of radical. 04:44 They may be not convenient. 04:47 They are not terribly expensive 04:49 but they may cost you some money. 04:51 So there are things you can do, you can't cure it, 04:54 you can't get rid of it but there are things you can do. 04:56 And that's an important point to make 04:58 and that should bring hope to a lot of people as well. 05:00 Yeah, and studying this syndrome it seems to me, 05:03 you know, you heard this word called antigen. 05:07 Okay, that's a foreign object 05:08 that stimulates an immune response. 05:11 And everyone's immune responses were differently. 05:14 You know, some people are allergic to penicillin, 05:16 some people are allergic to plants, 05:18 some people have these immune responses with other things. 05:21 Well, some people also have this immune response 05:23 with things that you don't think about in environments. 05:26 And-- mercury in fillings, 05:29 whether it be pesticides, whether it be fumes, 05:31 whether it be plastics, whether it be smells. 05:34 So there's a merely out of places 05:36 these chemicals sensitive it might be the food. 05:39 You know, we hear a lot of people that have food allergies, 05:41 you know, milk allergies, glue insensitivities. 05:45 You know, all these chemicals were put into-- 05:47 to the things we eat. 05:49 So remember, Charles, when we bring thing into our body, okay. 05:53 There is the food that we eat. 05:54 Sure, you know that brings it in the body, 05:56 the body sees that and has to do something with it. 05:59 And we bring in odd foods that we weren't designed to handle 06:02 and the body has to deal with that. 06:04 Good or bad it deals with it. 06:05 A lot of the inflammatory bowel syndrome that we have. 06:09 A lot of the bowel problems 06:10 are simply having the immune system attacks 06:13 when these things were put in this. 06:15 You know, look at all those chemicals we have, 06:16 you know, that's not a good thing. 06:18 We wonder why people have 06:20 chronic headaches and chronic symptoms. 06:21 Well, sometimes these are things we put in our bodies. 06:25 So the food we eat but it is not that. 06:27 We have other senses too. 06:29 We have the sense of smell. Absolutely. 06:31 And the sense of smell is devastating 06:33 because you know if you go, 06:35 you know, you know the way we put things in our body. 06:37 For instance we put pills in our body 06:39 so it takes a while to get in our blood stream. 06:41 We have IV's but if you have been put to sleep, 06:44 you know, he starts--well start counting backward, Charles. 06:48 This is just an option ten, nine, eight, you fall asleep. 06:51 You should have known it's what. 06:53 Well, inhalational agents get in the blood very quickly 06:56 and it goes throughout the body very quickly. 06:58 So in inhalational agents if you had a problem with it, 07:01 it creates a great problem. 07:03 That's why cigarettes are so addictive. 07:05 That's why crack cocaine. 07:07 You snort it in it gets in your bloodstream right away. 07:11 That's why the medicines that we use 07:12 go into the bloodstream right away. 07:14 But can you imagine if you are allergic to something 07:17 that you put into your bloodstream right away, 07:18 so to be a car fume. 07:20 Well, I don't have to imagine it. I can see it. 07:21 Or a perfume, you know, and it gets in the blood right away 07:24 and it goes throughout your body immediately. 07:26 And the immune system, you know, it's an foreign object. 07:28 I am gonna attack. 07:30 And if you think about the immune system, Charles, 07:32 the immune system is great. 07:35 You know, it wants to attack something, 07:37 I want to rip the body this, 07:38 I am going to free the body this, I am gonna attack. 07:40 You know, an immune system 07:42 can sometimes get up to 15 or 16 microbes. 07:45 And the immune system when it's done with its jobs 07:47 it doesn't go back to the spleen or the bone marrow. 07:49 It fights to the death. 07:51 So can you imagine the immune system being triggered 07:54 by something that this body wasn't been-- 07:56 body says I am gonna attack it, I am gonna fight to the death. 08:00 Well, there's chemical reactions that go with that. 08:02 You know, there are symptoms that go with that attack. 08:04 There is inflammation that goes 08:06 and that's why some of the research shows that 08:08 it might be inflammatory related to the body 08:11 these slider kinds been torn out. 08:12 There is a lot of research there. 08:14 No one's gonna study this a lot, 08:15 because there is no solution to it. 08:17 Exactly. 08:18 But in the studies where I found this, 08:19 there's not gonna be a medicine fix 08:21 but there can be an avoidance. 08:23 Finding out what it is 08:25 that you are allergic to or sensitive to, avoid. 08:28 But with that comes something that's terrible 08:31 and I don't know how people deal with this 08:33 and this is a feeling of isolation, 08:36 of avoidance, of aloneness, 08:39 of being by themselves. 08:41 And wow, you know, and the people have written in 08:45 that had this they don't know where to go. 08:47 You know, there's not an association for this. 08:49 Most doctors they say, oh, it's all in your head. 08:52 I can't help you. 08:53 But where do they go for help? 08:55 And that's why we want to give some solutions, 08:57 not only some practical solutions but some long term. 09:00 Where can they go for support? 09:02 Of course you know we know that there's websites 09:05 and there's people they can network with 09:07 on their Spacebook may be that can get people in touch. 09:10 So you don't have to be isolated. 09:11 They can still have the social interactions. 09:14 And of course we have a God 09:15 that's gonna make things perfect someday. 09:17 Well, they are gonna have this someday 09:19 and you know, it's just a terrible, 09:21 it's just terrible to have. 09:22 Another important point and that is so true, 09:24 another important point is that 09:29 there are levels of sensitivity, 09:32 some people--let me backup and say it this way. 09:35 Our environment affects all of us. 09:37 100% of us are being affected by the environment. 09:40 The toxins in our food, the toxins in the air, 09:43 the toxins in our clothes, 09:44 the toxins in our house and our workplace 09:46 is affecting us all 09:48 but many of us, most of us probably can take it. 09:52 Then when those toxins come up to the level 09:54 where we are, we can take it, we can take it, we can take it 09:57 then we might started getting sick as it get a bit higher. 09:59 Well, this level is what changes 10:01 with someone with multiple chemical sensitivity. 10:03 The level is way down here. 10:06 So any little bit of toxin that comes along 10:08 immediately starts to affect them 10:11 by headaches, the stomachaches, 10:13 the nervousness, the inability to think clearly, 10:15 the fear, the pain, 10:18 the suffering, happens immediately. 10:20 We have heard about the canary in a coal mine. 10:22 You know, imagine I have a canary here, 10:25 little yellow birds singing what not. 10:27 And this is the canary 10:28 and if this studio was suddenly to be flooded with toxins. 10:33 If there was pollution coming in really bad 10:36 this canary will be the first to go. 10:38 This canary would let us know that something bad is happening. 10:41 Its tolerance level is much lower than ours. 10:45 So when the canary drops dead 10:46 then the miners go oh, let's get out of here, 10:48 we have a problem and they would leave. 10:51 There are people like the canary, 10:53 there are people with a tolerance level that is so low 10:56 that any level of toxins in the environment or in the food, 11:00 or in the clothes or the in house or in the work 11:02 is going to affect them and they have to deal with this. 11:06 And the only way to deal with it--you're gonna learn this. 11:08 The only way to deal with this 11:10 is to try to make those toxins not get to that level. 11:14 Well, how do you do that? 11:15 And that is a journey that everyone needs to take, 11:19 all of us need to take it 11:20 whether we know we are sensitive or not, 11:24 because everything in our environment is affecting us. 11:25 We are being affected. 11:27 Our bodies are responding. 11:29 Environment is causing stress. 11:32 I said in the introduction that 11:33 anything that didn't come from the hand of God is a toxin. 11:36 Well, that makes sense because God made Eden 11:39 and there was no plastic, there were no fertilizers there, 11:41 there were no chemicals there. 11:43 When God made Eden these things didn't exist 11:46 and our levels were set there. 11:48 Thankfully, God has made our bodies able to adjust the level 11:52 but that comes as--as an expense. 11:54 That comes at a price. 11:56 We have to have our bodies that strong 11:59 and if we don't have our bodies that strong we suffer. 12:02 Yeah and you seen these symptoms first hand. 12:05 What are some of the symptoms that people experience? 12:07 Well, the first most common one I think would be the headaches, 12:11 the stomachache, the nausea, 12:14 I know that my wife if she is exposed to these things, 12:19 diesel fumes or jet fumes and what not 12:22 her thoughts she cant think clearly. 12:23 It's sort of a muddy thinking, 12:26 sick to her stomach, nervousness, 12:28 trembling it's all kinds of things that happen 12:30 as the body is trying to fight this. 12:32 The body is using all of its resources 12:34 trying to deal with this toxin 12:35 and it doesn't have the resources necessary 12:37 to help you sleep. 12:40 You may have Insomnia over this thing, 12:42 you may have nervousness. 12:44 You may have those headaches and the stomachaches. 12:46 But you know the good news is 12:48 and we would not even be talking about this, 12:49 unless there was good news 12:51 and Heartwise Ministries 12:53 and Dr. Marcum is all about good news. 12:55 When we come back from our break, 12:56 we're gonna talk about some of the things 12:57 that you can do whether you are sensitive or not, 12:59 to your environment that will help you 13:01 with multiple chemical sensitivities. 13:02 Stay tuned. |
