20
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 3: How are you feeling, I'm still learning, Kevin, I'm still learning.

21
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, yeah, that's solid that's hip. That's it's a gas.

22
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,199
Speaker 2: Remember back in the day when we used to say

23
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 2: things like that, You.

24
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: Know, I was just saying that a couple of days ago.

25
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: I was thinking of people used to say, it's a gas.

26
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,639
Speaker 1: He's in the grass, he's a gas. That's song right, right,

27
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: it's Sammy Davis, you all the other hip cats. We'll

28
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: talk about it's a gas man, right.

29
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: But the gas was their response to you. You would

30
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: say solid and then liquid, right, and it's a gas.

31
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: It's a gas.

32
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: Some of the young folks have absolutely no clue what

33
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: we're talking about.

34
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: Right, right, My young associate sitting here, yeah, right, shaking

35
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 2: his head.

36
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 3: What, Yeah, it's just tell me it's a gas. That's okay, Yeah,

37
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 3: it's all a gas man.

38
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: So there's a lot going on, though, man, I don't

39
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: know how much of a gas the things are that

40
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: are happening. Area of the European leaders rebuff Trump's call

41
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: to open the Strait of Hormus. He seemed to be

42
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: trying to build an alliance, and he's been skeptical skeptical

43
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: about the value of the alliance since two weeks into

44
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 2: his war with Iran. He was trying to build that

45
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: and face with Tehran's successful effort to cut off the

46
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 2: flow of oil and gas tankers through a vital shipping

47
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: choke point, a strategy that has sent global energy prices

48
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: by skyrocking right skyrocketing. Rather, Trump has a sweep of

49
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 2: nations to help secure He blasted Britain, Germany, Japan, South

50
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: Korea and others for their reluctance.

51
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 3: And he has revised his.

52
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 2: Long standing complaints about the NATO Defense Alliance. And he

53
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: said that he should rethink the US relationship with the

54
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: allies without congressional approval. What's the idea of trying to

55
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: do everything by going around Congress?

56
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: What's that about?

57
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: Well, here's the larger picture, because he's isolating the country.

58
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: That's what he's doing here.

59
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 3: Let me just give you.

60
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: Some of the countries and their response. Italy rejected, Spain rejected,

61
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: Japan rejected, France hesitant so far, Norway rejected, Canada rejected,

62
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: Australia rejected, Germany rejected, China and no response. They just

63
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: blew him off. UK no commitment, no real commitment so far,

64
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: Netherlands no response so far, South Korea no confirmation so again.

65
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: And he and in fact, some of China's making memes

66
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: of him begging now countries to join his coalition, and

67
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: everybody thumb their noses at him. So, yeah, he's isolated

68
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: the countries isolated. The United States' haitant to say he's

69
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: isolated us because you know that means that you're sort

70
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: of part of him. We talk about the things that

71
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: he's doing and say, this is doing this to us,

72
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: but he said really doing to us? Is he doing

73
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: it to himself? You know, I.

74
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: Think he's taking that weight upon himself, on his own shoulders,

75
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: unless he's just totally clueless of how to run a country.

76
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, it's that jingoistic thing that you

77
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: know that America is the best and the briest way,

78
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: the hottest country. What do you think that does the

79
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: other countries? You know, it's so good. Now you're asking

80
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: for our help. You take care of it yourself. You

81
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: started the war. Why should we have a send our

82
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: boys to die? That's what some of the Bridges are saying.

83
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 4: Now.

84
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 2: It's not the first time that a US war of

85
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 2: choice in the Middle East has set off transatlantic tensions.

86
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,119
Speaker 2: Of French and German opposition to President George W. Bush

87
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: two thousand and three. Invasion of Iraq set off denunciations

88
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: of Old Europe by Bush allies and an effort to

89
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: rename French Fries as Freedom Fries. But Bush never tried

90
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: to pressure your by threatening to pull out of NATO,

91
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 2: and many other European countries, along with Britain, also joined

92
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 2: the war. So are we saying that Donald Trump makes

93
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 2: even George w.

94
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 3: Look like he was a smart president? Right?

95
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: And then no love lost between those two families? You

96
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: know that?

97
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, he's Bush Junior spent four months putting it

98
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 2: together a coalition after Saddam invaded Kuwait. And of course

99
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 2: you remember the weapons of mass destructions.

100
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, man, I tell.

101
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 2: You they're taking it in stride. Meanwhile, more Trump news,

102
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: the White House releases the DHS funding offer. He released

103
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: a letter detailing changes it will make to the Department

104
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 2: of Homeland Security as it looks to secure a deal

105
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 2: with the Democrats to end the nearly five week long

106
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 2: partial government shut down. And the move is the Trump

107
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 2: administration's attempt to show it it's making good faith after

108
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: the Democrats derided their proposal as unseerious and comes as

109
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 2: staffing issues at the Transportation Security administration grow more acute,

110
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 2: leading to longer wait times at the airports across the country.

111
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 2: And you know people are going to be unhappy about that.

112
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 3: Were your thoughts, Well, you know, what what can we do? Listen?

113
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: You know, Kevin, all the things that he's doing, he

114
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: told us what he's going to do. So for me

115
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: many folks, we're is not surprised, right.

116
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, he even said that whole thing about isolating America,

117
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 2: you know, America first, this sort of thing, and so

118
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 2: he can.

119
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's here's the problem with that. Now, some

120
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: of the Maga that split the MAGA people because they're saying,

121
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: is an America first or Israel first? You know, how

122
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: do we get into this? So they're questioning is comments

123
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: and some say this is not the president we voted for.

124
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: They were all down with America first, but not Israel first.

125
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: And you know, and what's interesting though, Kevin is for

126
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,799
Speaker 1: the first time you're hearing people, you know, focally opposing

127
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: or saying something that could be interpreted as negative towards Israel.

128
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: Israel was the third rail in politics. You just say

129
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: something that the people think. It's even this conversation that

130
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: we're having now, you would you probably get white bault.

131
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: They would talk you out as ask a minister fire

132
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: Gun or Jesse or we can't ask Jesse. But because

133
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,119
Speaker 1: you know, they still they still paying the price because

134
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: of what they said. But now it seems now now

135
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: that you've got white folks to criticize in Israel and

136
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: criticizing Donald Trump what he's doing. So he shocked about that.

137
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, And speaking of the late great Jesse Jackson,

138
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: Jesse Jackson Junior lost his bid. Donald Miller defeats Jesse

139
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: Jackson Junior in Illinois second District primary and she won

140
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 2: the seat that was held by Representative Robin Kelly, who

141
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: is running for US Senate, and the race is one

142
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: of several Democratic primaries in which million of dollars and

143
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 2: outside pack spending may have helped shape the outcome. Miller

144
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: received over forty percent of the vote to Jackson's twenty

145
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: eight percent when the Associated Press called the race. Miller

146
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: is a Cook County Board commissioner representing the sixth district

147
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: and has spent decades working in healthcare. She previously served

148
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: as board chair of Planned Parenthood of Illinois, and she

149
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: also ran for state Senate back in twenty twelve, losing

150
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 2: in the fifteenth district, so right on you know, Women's

151
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 2: History Month, So we talked about her first before we

152
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 2: bring up my favorite person to talk about today.

153
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 3: What do you think of that?

154
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: You know, what's interested that Some of the lessens recall

155
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: Pastor Anthony Williams, Chicago actor, which was with us. It

156
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: was a couple of weeks ago and he was talking

157
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: about the race and the situation with Junior at the

158
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: funeral of his dad when the out person when he

159
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 1: slammed the former presidents and saying it was political. And

160
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: you know, Pastor Williams says he thought that was political

161
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: because he reminded the rest of us. He says, beple

162
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: in Chicago. No, it's an election and he's on the ticket.

163
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: He's trying to get his seat back, and he just

164
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: implied that. Pastor Willis implied that was done politically to

165
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: get his name out there, and he did for a while.

166
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: He was up in the polls of you know, leading

167
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: up to the leading up to the voting, but it

168
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: seems like many of these votes probably were done before

169
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: even the funeral. So that outburst and some people say,

170
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, he's still grieving or why, or he shouldn't

171
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: have said it, or it's true whether or not. Some

172
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: say like he did it for political expediency, he wanted

173
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: to get his name out there for the election. He

174
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: came up short.

175
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 2: Well, there are some reasons they say may have affected

176
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 2: his loss. For example, Jackson pleaded guilty to the wire

177
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 2: and mail fraud, serving thirty months in prison for using

178
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: campaign funds on items like a forty three thousand dollars rolex,

179
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: memorabilia and clothing, and public trust issues. Opponents and voters

180
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 2: cited the need for honesty and accountability, viewing his comeback bid,

181
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 2: like I said, as a return to the old corrupt

182
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 2: habits rather than a new chapter. Jackson acknowledged that the

183
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 2: inability to escape his past or the evil of the

184
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 2: Google search made it incredibly difficult to regain public confidence.

185
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: And one other idea was that many voters in the district,

186
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: which have a history of political scandal, appeared ready for

187
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: a new representation, even though that didn't work, and so

188
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 2: by securing nine hundred and eighty six million dollars for

189
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 2: his district, it supposedly gave him an advantage, but it

190
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 2: wasn't enough to overcome the stigma of that scandal.

191
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: Your thoughts, Well, it's said for himself, the folks, and

192
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: you know it's all local. They knew, they knewest history

193
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 1: has Pastor Williams pointed out, and that's where they made

194
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: their decision.

195
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: Okay, And the Democratic women partner that expression, are doing

196
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 2: their thing.

197
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 3: Man.

198
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 2: Juliana Stratton wins Illinois Democratic Senate primary race. The progressive

199
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: candidate was behind Christna Morty until she got an infusion

200
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: of cash from Governor Pritzker. With nearly ninety percent of

201
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 2: the vote tally, Stratton was leading by more than six

202
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: percent points on Tuesday night, according to the Associated Press,

203
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: and she said, we did it tonight. We showed what's

204
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 2: possible when you listen to people and give the people

205
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: what they want.

206
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting because Pritzer was on the ballot, but

207
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: he was on a post so he's going to win reelection.

208
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 1: She's gonna we'll see how she does in the general election.

209
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: That was a primy. She's run the Democratic primary. We'll

210
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: see how she does against a Republican opponent in the fall.

211
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: Well, they say turnout was unusually high for that Senate contest,

212
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 2: and which Chicago still recovering from the upscaled ice and

213
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 2: accompanying street protests of Operation Midway Blitz. Immigration policy separated

214
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 2: the two front runners, and Stratton called directly for their

215
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 2: abolishment of ice, while Christna Morti has been more nuanced

216
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 2: calling for the abolishment of Trump's ice, and they both

217
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 2: asked for the abolishment. So congratulations to her. And finally,

218
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: in women's history, after we just spoke of women in history,

219
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 2: now I want to talk about Gertrude Ma Rainey born

220
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 2: April twenty sixth, eighteen eighty six and died December twenty second,

221
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: nineteen thirty nine.

222
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 3: And she was.

223
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 2: What was her real name, Gertrude Pritchett, and she began

224
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 2: performing as a teenager and became known as Ma Rainey

225
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 2: after her marriage to will Pau Rainey in nineteen oh four,

226
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: and they toured with rabbit Foot Minstrels and later formed

227
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: their own group, Rainy and Rainy Fascinators of the Blues.

228
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: How's that for Brandy? Her first recording was made in

229
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 2: nineteen twenty three. In the following five years, she made

230
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 2: over one hundred recordings, including bo Weaver of Blues, Moonshine, Blues,

231
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 2: c c. Ryder Blues. My father used to sing that

232
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 2: all the time. And then she made her famous Ma

233
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 2: Rainey's Black Bottom and soon this Morning. She also collaborated

234
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 2: with Thomas Dorsey, Tampa Red, and Louis Armstrong and toured

235
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 2: and recorded with the Georgia Jazz Band. And remember the

236
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 2: movie about Black Bottom where oh yeah, Viola Davis played her.

237
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: And Chadwick Boseman was in that movie too. I think

238
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: that was his last movie.

239
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that was his last movie. And you

240
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: could kind of see that he was a little ill

241
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: in that, but he was dramatic as all get out. Man,

242
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 2: it was a really good movie. If you didn't get

243
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,599
Speaker 2: a chance, man to check that out. But that's the

244
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 2: way it is. On the eighteen, this is what do

245
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: you call it? Wellness Wednesday, And thanks for your time.

246
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 5: Ca.

247
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 3: We've got to get.

248
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: Thank you, Kevin. All right, fifteen at the top, let's

249
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: go over to Baltimore. David Murphy, Grand Rising, welcome back

250
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: to the program.

251
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 4: This Grand rathering to you as well.

252
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: Now, David, you've got a documentary out. Can you share

253
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: with the family what this documentary is all about?

254
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 4: Yes, I called it Black Baltimore and it ranges from

255
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 4: the nineteen fifties to the nineteen eighties. Uh. And one

256
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 4: of the reasons why this is I'm doing this is

257
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 4: because you know, most people know Baltimore have a bad sticking,

258
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 4: you know, based on a couple of TV shows. One

259
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 4: was called The Corner, the other one was called The Wire,

260
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 4: and you know, and so when you know where the

261
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 4: you know, public relations goes out like that, you know,

262
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 4: people formed into the opinion about this city. And but

263
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 4: those those type shows pretty much in any major city,

264
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 4: you know, on any given corner. But you know, but

265
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 4: the thing is, one of the major things on called

266
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 4: is this. You know, back in the fifties, especially in

267
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 4: the sixties here in Baltimore, we had so many people

268
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 4: doing so many great and wonderful things. I mean, we

269
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 4: was breaking all types of glass ceilings, you know.

270
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 2: Uh.

271
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 4: And most people have no clue of all of these

272
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 4: people right in there on the backyard of the things

273
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 4: that we've done back in the day. One of the

274
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 4: reasons is because first of all, you know, nobody recorded

275
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 4: us to tell our stories and h and nobody did

276
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 4: a documentary. And there's a lady here in baltim by

277
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 4: the name of Rosa Pryor. She had several books on

278
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 4: Baltimore back in the hey day that Pennsylvania had new

279
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 4: highlights and things like that. And she was one of

280
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 4: the inspirations for me doing this is because when she

281
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 4: said she couldn't find any data when she was doing

282
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 4: her research for a book, but she also told me

283
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 4: she wasn't make good on computers and stuff. So I

284
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 4: took on the task to start searching for it, and

285
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 4: I couldn't find anything as well. I did the Google

286
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 4: and everything else, the YouTube and everything. All I found

287
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 4: was negativity. All I saw was close and collaborated houses

288
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 4: and the worst parts of the city that they would show.

289
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 4: And of course, you know, you know, we all know

290
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 4: that leave it up to them. The way they would

291
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 4: tell our story, that's what they're going to get. They

292
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 4: would never tell it, you know, the full story, the

293
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 4: whole story.

294
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: And a whole lot story. Right there, we've got to

295
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: step aside for a moment. Let me come back and

296
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: tell us more about this documentary. Family just waking up

297
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: just joined us seventeen minutes after the top there. I

298
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: guess it is David Murphy Davids from Baltimore and from

299
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: the National Black Unity newspaper and he's doing a documentary

300
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: about Black Baltimore. I want to hear about this, and

301
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: I'm glad that he's doing this, because if we don't

302
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: tell our story, who will. You want to get in

303
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: on this conversation. Reach out to us at eight hundred

304
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: four five zero seventy eight seventy six and we'll take

305
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: your phone calls next and grind Rising family. Thanks for

306
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 1: waking up with us on this Wednesday morning, twenty one

307
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: minutes after the top day. I was I guess that

308
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: David Murphy from Baltimore. She's got a documentary coming out

309
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: about Black Baltimore. David, I just want to thank you

310
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: for doing this. Is that the title of the documentary,

311
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: Black Baltimore.

312
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 4: Yes, that's what I call it. Yes, from the nineteen

313
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 4: fifties to the nineteen eighties. But the full documentary, you know,

314
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 4: will be done in decades. So this is, like you say,

315
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 4: a trailer, what I've shown to you with just the trailer,

316
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 4: and like I say, we would do it in the

317
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 4: the entire decade of the fifties, the sixties and seventies

318
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 4: and the eighties. Once we do the full documentary, it's

319
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 4: so much data that I came across. It's so much information.

320
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 4: And we still have people around who was back in

321
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 4: the day, you know, and know the families are still around,

322
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:56,239
Speaker 4: the prominent families, and we have some noted people who

323
00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 4: are passually telling their stories in this documentary. And now

324
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 4: that's what we're doing today. We collact, you know, you know,

325
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 4: talking with a lot of elders, and people have archives,

326
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 4: you know, they have pictures from back in the day,

327
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,479
Speaker 4: and and and the stories that you know. Let I say,

328
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 4: I came up in the fifties, but I did not

329
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 4: know all of this stuff was going on around me.

330
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 4: I knew about the Black Hospital.

331
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: Well, I was going to ask you. Let me interrupt

332
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: asking this though, since I started interrupting you. But but David,

333
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: what anything that stood out to you? They go, wow,

334
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: people did this junior research.

335
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 4: Well, one thing was, you know, I'm a businessman, and

336
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 4: if we had a company here called Park Sausage and

337
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 4: by a man named Haysburg and and the other je

338
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 4: I can't think of his name right off the top

339
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 4: of my head, but these two gymal that was actually

340
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 4: the first company in the history of black people, that

341
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 4: the first black company that went public wasn't.

342
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 3: That national think that was national. I remember hearing that.

343
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 4: It was called Park Sauce, Pop saucege go ahead, yeah,

344
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,959
Speaker 4: and that, you know, that kind of stuff. I didn't know,

345
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 4: you know, I know it was a huge company, you know,

346
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 4: but I didn't know it was the first. And you know,

347
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 4: and a lot of things in Baltimore, especially in the

348
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 4: political arena, that shoot up. And there was another gentleman,

349
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 4: and you know, because you know there was all he

350
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 4: was a legendary figure German by the name of they

351
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 4: call him Little Willie Adams and and back in the days,

352
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 4: you know, they you know, this is just some of

353
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 4: the stuff that I heard that he was a number

354
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 4: runner back in the days and before we had lotteries.

355
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 4: He that said, you know, because he and he was

356
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 4: extremely successful at it. But what he did he took

357
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 4: his money and for now so many business black businesses

358
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 4: in the Baltimore small as well as large businesses, mon

359
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 4: domins and I'm talking about this man had a fingerprinting

360
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 4: so many black business is because he shared the well

361
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 4: he was the Black bank and and so you know,

362
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 4: stuff like this, and so what it does for me

363
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 4: is this, you know, we did it back day during

364
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 4: some trying times. But these people were breaking all of

365
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 4: these blass seilings. And I'm a pat this call, uh,

366
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 4: because of all the negativity that I've seen and I've

367
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 4: heard and through mass media about you know, us as

368
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 4: the people not just seeing Baltimore but all over the place.

369
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 4: You know, when we started doing our research on who

370
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 4: we truly are, because like I said, a lot of

371
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 4: people didn't document us. But you know, I thank god,

372
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 4: you know that I had the opportunity to do this.

373
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 4: I am so proud, so proud to be a black

374
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 4: Baltimorean because I did not know that all of this

375
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 4: was going and what you've seen was just the tip

376
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 4: of the iceberg. I mean, man, I mean, I mean

377
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 4: they was really putting in the work, as the young

378
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 4: people say in them days and so but you know

379
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 4: the thing, the beautiful thing about this is our young people,

380
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 4: my children and my grandchild had no clue all this

381
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 4: went around them. All they see is, you know, a negativity.

382
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 4: They see, you know, certain things with other meat that

383
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 4: with mass media showed them, but when they see this.

384
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 4: I showed it to my grandson. He was so impressed.

385
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 4: He was so impressed, he said, Pop, I didn't do

386
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,479
Speaker 4: say pop pop, I didn't know we did all that stuff,

387
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 4: you know. And see that's the most important thing is

388
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 4: because they're gonna give a positive image on our young

389
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 4: folks to let you know, right in their own bank,

390
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 4: right on their own blocks and stuff that great black

391
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 4: men and women put in the work back in the

392
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 4: day and made some powerful positive things happen, and they

393
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 4: can do it as well and stop, you know, and

394
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 4: you know, call and back. And also I used to

395
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 4: say in quite a few meetings when we had you know,

396
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 4: different generations in it, and you know, a lot of

397
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 4: the younger guys from the twenties and the thirty years

398
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 4: old will come up to us sometime and say, y'all

399
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 4: need to get out the way because y'all didn't do anything.

400
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 4: That's why we're going through this mess now. And see

401
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 4: they feel that way because nobody told them. They never

402
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 4: seen it, you know. And so that's why this this

403
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 4: documentary is so important. For the first time, they can

404
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 4: get to see who we really are, get to tell

405
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 4: our story by using for us, and when they see

406
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,479
Speaker 4: this they will be as proud as well. But at

407
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 4: the same time, you know, when people know who they

408
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 4: truly are and what they truly capable of then that's

409
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 4: when change takes place, you know. So, like I said,

410
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 4: it's so important, like you said earlier, to tell our story,

411
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 4: because if you leave it up to everybody else, you

412
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 4: know what we're going to get, all right.

413
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: I thought right there twenty seven after the time that

414
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: Bill wants to join us, he's in Baltimore. He's online too.

415
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: Grand Rise and Billy are on with David Murphy.

416
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 6: One time about the morning. Colin is always say thank

00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 6: encourage people that you know, once he released the documentary,

422
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 6: I want, I want people to come out because it's

423
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 6: full of history that we really should know, especially hear

424
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 6: in Barchmore, living in Barchmore, of the great accomplishments that

425
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 6: have come out of Bartimore. So I just didn't want

426
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 6: to miss this opportunity to not be able to call

427
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 6: in and congratulate David and thank you for having David

428
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 6: on the show so that he could share this information

429
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 6: in other people. So again, I just wanted to call

430
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 6: in and say thank you very much.

431
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 4: Hey, Bill, you know, and I want to congratulate you

432
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 4: as well, because Bill, you know, of course he ain't

433
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 4: gonna mention it, but I will. Bill is showing something

434
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,719
Speaker 4: this weekend that's the paksity of us. And it's similar

435
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 4: to a documentary, but he's showing people from back in

436
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 4: and they most of them are no longer whip like

437
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 4: Reverend Wright, Robert, Robbie Clay and so many other people

438
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 4: that put it into work back in the days and

439
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 4: this is in the nineties and stuff like this. See,

440
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 4: like I said, people don't realize because, like I said,

441
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 4: we don't get a lot of publiciess, but see we're

442
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 4: constantly putting in Wrooking. So Bill will be showing his

443
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 4: documentary this weekend and so if anybody available in the

444
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 4: Baltimore come check that out. It's powerful and so you know,

445
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 4: So again I am so grateful to able to do

446
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 4: something like this. But called I'm gonna just say this

447
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 4: because I was able to do this, and I had

448
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 4: what you call a blueprint actually takes the same document

449
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 4: and just go about just about any major city and

450
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 4: duplicate it and so that you know all over this.

451
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 3: Comy, Well, let me jump in here.

452
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: That's that's why I had you out because I'm hoping

453
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 1: that people listening, if they're in Chicago, Saint Louis, La Detroit,

454
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: if they're in Cape Town, if they're in Port of

455
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: Prince and wherever, they will do the same thing because

456
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: we have to tell our story. We can't leave it

457
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: up to somebody else. You said something key though, David

458
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: and Bill. I think if you call she said something

459
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: really cure that the people, if I young, people know

460
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: who they are. And this is one of the things

461
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: that as equaci as all the time, know thyself. But

462
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: he's talking about ancient Egypt, keem it. But if just

463
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: they know themselves even here, what our answers is their

464
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: grandparents did and what they had to go through to

465
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: do it is so it's just just not just as

466
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: easy as it is today. All the hurdles that all

467
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: the racism they had to fight and we still made it.

468
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: That's what That's what this documented. This is This gives

469
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 1: them some sort of pride. So I just want to

470
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: thank you to it for doing that.

471
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 4: I appreciate that. And like I say, you know, you

472
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 4: know like I said, called to be straight up about this.

473
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 4: You know, you know, I'm a strong believe in God,

474
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 4: and you know, and because of the Lady Rolls a pride,

475
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 4: you know, I was aspired to do this and I

476
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 4: consider myself a serviancy. This is not about David mur

477
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 4: This is about us black melan NATed people. And again,

478
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 4: because we didn't have the technology with my father and

479
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 4: my grandparents wasn't around to do this, and it could

480
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 4: have been extremely expensive to do these type of things,

481
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 4: but that's probably why it was never done. But at

482
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 4: the same time, because of this generation that we have

483
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 4: the capabilities to do that. And I just want to

484
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 4: remind everybody this is so crucial. Tell you your story,

485
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 4: your story. If you even had to get on this

486
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 4: journe on your phone or something, you record yourself so

487
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 4: that your children and your children know who you are,

488
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 4: what were you all about, because you know, not to

489
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 4: say we all you know, everybody knows. When the elder died,

490
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 4: the whole library dies with them. And so that's why

491
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 4: we had to really start telling our story. And again

492
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 4: I came up in the fifties, sixty and seventy, but

493
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 4: I was truly, truly impressed with the work that they

494
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 4: did yesterday, truly impressed.

495
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: You know it is it segmenting like entertainment, politics, sports,

496
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: or is it just all together?

497
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 4: How's carding, entertainment, political, social recreation all it's all the

498
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 4: clue in this thing. And and like I say, just

499
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 4: like you know, uh, we had a general body the

500
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 4: name of Sam Lacey worked for the AFRO. He was

501
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 4: a historical figure, you know, historical black sports writer. But

502
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 4: this man broke Glass Silton because of his rags. You know,

503
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 4: he stood up against the powers that be to help

504
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 4: get blacks into certain you know, arabs and sports and stuff.

505
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 4: You know, he spoke out against this kind of stuff.

506
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 5: You know.

507
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 4: And and these people was not only you know boll

508
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,479
Speaker 4: but they was very courageous because back in them day,

509
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 4: you know, they was actually putting their life on the line.

510
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 4: But nevertheless they went forth anyway.

511
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 7: And see, this is kind of thing like I said,

512
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 7: that we need to know because like I say.

513
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 4: And I understand that systems in place, they don't want

514
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 4: us to tell our story and want to keep us,

515
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 4: you know, as a status quote. But you know, uh,

516
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 4: yesterday is yesterday. But you know they're gonna do what

517
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 4: they do. It's time for us to start doing what

518
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 4: we need to do for us and by us. And

519
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 4: I guarantee you when we people like you call and

520
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 4: so many of us Bill Gooding and so many of us.

521
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 7: Out there putting in the work.

522
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 4: And then when we start connecting the dots. Uh, it's happening.

523
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 4: And that's another thing too. Uh, people all across this country,

524
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 4: throughout the Deak where are finally coming together. All types

525
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 4: of organizations are linking up to one another. And so

526
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 4: you know, it's happening slowly, but it's coming.

527
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 5: Now.

528
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this this particular documentary, who do

529
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: you think will benefit more than the old heads like

530
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: you and I and Bill or the other young folks

531
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,719
Speaker 1: like your grandchildren and folks are in the youngsters are

532
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: in school now, in high school and college. Who do

533
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: you think will benefit the most?

534
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 4: Hearing about our history, I see more of the elders

535
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 4: gleaned from I mean, it's almost like listening to old

536
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 4: reasons when we start talking about ourselves. That to some

537
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,719
Speaker 4: people it just took them down memory laning and they

538
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 4: recall the days of this, how we came up as

539
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 4: children and things like that. So just you know, it

540
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 4: just took takes them there. But the young people I

541
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 4: share it with a free dad, a lot of them

542
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 4: haven't seen it as of yet. But based on my

543
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 4: children and the few people that I did show it to,

544
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 4: they was truly impressed. And I strongly believe that you say,

545
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 4: this one change their whole projectory about life, about being

546
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 4: who they are, about about living in this particular city.

547
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 4: And now, you know, based on like I said, because

548
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 4: nobody really told our story, now they get first hand

549
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 4: to see here something really from us and by us,

550
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 4: and that's gonna make a world of difference in their life. So,

551
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 4: like you said, if you don't know all, you think

552
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 4: that that we are a drugs dealers and and it's

553
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 4: hopeless the way that you know, the way things look

554
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 4: today is not too cool. But uh but as you say, again,

555
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 4: we have done it before, and guess what we're still

556
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 4: doing it. We got so many people right now putting

557
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 4: in the work right now today. And that's a beautiful

558
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 4: another beautiful thing about this documentary because we talk about yesterday,

559
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 4: but there will be a host of people who's still

560
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 4: putting in the work that's gonna be speaking in this

561
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 4: in the in the real documentary when it comes out

562
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 4: about what doing today, it ain't just about yesterday, about

563
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 4: what we're doing today, and then that would bring hope

564
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,479
Speaker 4: for tomorrow for our young people. So we ain't finished,

565
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 4: you know, we're still working it.

566
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, a twenty six away from the topic. Let me

567
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: ask you this, David, is it all you know peaches

568
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: and cream? You show it with wants and all because

569
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: we know some negative stuff happening in our community.

570
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 4: Like I say, you know, because I do know mass

571
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 4: media and seeing Baltimore and just like in current they

572
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 4: see people don't know. And I'm just gonna be straight

573
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 4: up about this. Media convicts a lot of Black people,

574
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 4: especially in the political arena, and we tend to believe

575
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 4: whatever the media put out there. People don't know. Entrapments

576
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 4: it and all kinds of setups are taking place when

577
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 4: people outstep their boundary. When you go up and gainst

578
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 4: that old boy system, they have a way of getting

579
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 4: you one way or the other, and they can be

580
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 4: trumped up charges on people. That's why I don't take

581
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 4: too much stocking when they do that to us, because

582
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 4: people don't know that behind the scene stuff that other

583
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 4: people do. And so what I try to show people

584
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 4: and not all the next They can get that anywhere.

585
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 4: But I'm trying to show what we did accomplish and

586
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 4: they can find out. You know, you know, you want

587
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 4: to hear about all that negative because like can say,

588
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 4: I have no facts about the negative, but I do

589
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 4: have the facts about the positive things that people do

590
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 4: because it's you know, like I say, we it's documented

591
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 4: and and like I said, it's in records and stuff

592
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 4: like that, and so these are the facts. Even though

593
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 4: some people that was back in their political arenments, back

594
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 4: in them days, some of them even got convicted on stuff.

595
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 4: But then again, uh, even modern day, I've seen so

596
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 4: many people get get fake charges on them. And like

597
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 4: I said, in media, you know, I hate to say

598
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 4: it like this, but think about this, anybody I know,

599
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 4: anybody and put them in the national recunity news and

600
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 4: I can slangarize their name. And I heard through a

601
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 4: reliable sort that this person did this day. And would

602
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 4: you believe that half the people will believe.

603
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: Me right and hold up to her Right there, David,

636
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: is because Alex Haley started building a mosque there and

637
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:44,280

742
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 1: you just crashed this surface. But what is you see

743
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: is the major difference between back in the day with

744
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: the brothers and sisters of the life in Baltimore back

745
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: in the day as it is today. What things the

746
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: major difference.

747
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,919
Speaker 4: Well, the major difference is what I see was first

748
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 4: of all, Uh, I don't know about anybody else, but

749
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,760
Speaker 4: I said, I always was told a bunch of lives

750
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 4: about who we are, even from school systems, because I

751
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 4: never the book where we had never said anybody looked

752
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 4: like me or anything like that.

753
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 7: But I didn't know.

754
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 4: Because I used to sell the athro newspapers a little boy.

755
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,879
Speaker 4: I just go all over the neighborhoods and I would

756
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 4: see the doctors, the lawyers, the laborers. Everybody went to

757
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 4: work back in them days. You know, you didn't see

758
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 4: a lot of people hanging around. People had jobs in

759
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 4: those days, you know. And and and I would see, uh,

760
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 4: like the steps and stuff.

761
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 10: You know.

762
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 4: Baltimore was famous for the marble steps, you know, and

763
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 4: everybody would get out there and watch the step. The

764
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 4: children would do it to earn a little extra money

765
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 4: and stuff like that. It was really what I consider

766
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 4: a real village. And that's one of the greatest thing

767
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 4: I took away from it because it reminded me of

768
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 4: how powerful we was. And everybody knew people back in

769
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 4: the day. You know, you knew your neighbors, and your

770
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,280
Speaker 4: neighbors looked out for you. We had people the elderly

771
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 4: ladies used to look at sitting in the windows, you know,

772
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 4: just watch children. We used to call them nose and

773
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 4: everything when your children because they were telling on us,

774
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 4: you know, and they would tell everything we were doing.

775
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 4: But they were looking out for us, and so that

776
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 4: kind of stuff. If you had a large family back

777
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 4: in them days, people would you know, they if they

778
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 4: had extra clothes or something like that, they would give

779
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 4: it to you. The bakery man would leave if you

780
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 4: knew you had eight or nine children. You know, he'd

781
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 4: drop a bag of bread off to you. Same thing

782
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 4: with the dairy man. You know, so people really really

783
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 4: looked out for one another back in them days. They

784
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 4: even used to have rent parties. If somebody got down

785
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 4: to look behind and there, they would actually would throw

786
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,240
Speaker 4: a party to raise the money for the person.

787
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: And but you know what, back then they would correct

788
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: me from But it seems like we had bigger families

789
00:40:58,680 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: too back in those days.

790
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 4: Oh yes, yes, like I said that. Look, my family

791
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 4: was eight. You know, we was considered something like a

792
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 4: large fan. But there was way large fan to twelve

793
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 4: to fifteen. But you know, a small family back in

794
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 4: the day was five children. What happened And it's very

795
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 4: seldom that you see somebody just came one or two

796
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 4: children in the family, very rare.

797
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought about that too, because but the that's nationwide.

798
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: You know, hopefully people are listening to you in different cities.

799
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 1: You know, we will think about doing the same thing,

800
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: because again it's important that if we don't tell our story,

801
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: somebody else will. And I'm glad that some of the

802
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 1: young people. I hope when it's completed, you know, you

803
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 1: get the support of the school district to show this

804
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: in the schools, the public school system in Baltimore, So

805
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: some of these youngsters can see what life was really about,

806
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: you know, and then if they're if they're smart, they'll

807
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: ask the question. There, for the grace of God, go

808
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,919
Speaker 1: I and I've been born in another time in Spain.

809
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: You know, I'd be there with their answers. And these

810
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 1: are their grandparents, so kind of saying their answers their

811
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: great grandparents, what they had to go through, and so

812
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: what they're facing now is absolutely nothing to the hurdles

813
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: that our grandparents and great grandparents had to go over.

814
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 4: And I whole hardly agree. And for the first time,

815
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 4: this is what I love about this documentary is, you know,

816
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 4: you know what they call Black history models. They named

817
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 4: free people to Frederick Douglass, you know the roles, you know,

818
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 4: and all of those people just are free people. But

819
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 4: now they're gonna get a real Black history, now, their

820
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 4: history right in their own backyard. Who they really are,

821
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 4: what they really what we really was about. See, the

822
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 4: media didn't cover us in that in that manner, you know,

823
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 4: you know how they did us on televisions and stuff

824
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 4: like that just being locked up and stuff that they

825
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 4: don't even know in school. They didn't tell that to say,

826
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 4: even while I was living in that during the time

827
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 4: it was happening. But you know, if I had known

828
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 4: all of this great stuff that's happening around. We had

829
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 4: social club. We had a thing called the Police Boys

830
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 4: Club when I was coming up, and they was old.

831
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:10,280
Speaker 4: Ask police officers black police officers and man them brothers.

832
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 4: Man really looked out for the I mean the children

833
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 4: in the community. We had the Chick Web Center, you know,

834
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 4: and that's a great story to the check Web Center.

835
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 4: Do you know that was the That's another first in Baltimore.

836
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 4: That was the first recreation center that was actually built

837
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 4: by black people.

838
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: Didn't James Brown Let me ask you this though, David

00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:35,399
Speaker 1: didn't James Brown by raders on the first black radio

840
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:36,719

00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 7: so many things, nigga.

843
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 4: You know, what's the name? Oh but Lois Armstrong, the

844
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 4: brown bombas I can't think of his name right now. Yeah,

845
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 4: Chick Web and all of these guys, they all came

846
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 4: to Baltimore to raise fund for that Chick websit a

847
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 4: every major black star in the nation came to Baltimore.

848
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:05,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's something about Baltimore and us be in the water.

849
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: That's a lot of great talent came out of Baltimore,

850
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: especially entertainment talent, you know. And this is the story

851
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: that we need to teach, show and teach our young people.

852
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, can't call the way all of them. You know,

853
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 4: it was just just go on and on and on

854
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 4: about you know the great times that with the international things,

855
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 4: you know. And but again in some of the schools

856
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 4: that we had, you know, the teachers and you know,

857
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 4: we had black teachers and they would drum it into

858
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 4: you you know, you know back in the day. You

859
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 4: know that that you know, you know even at the

860
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 4: point they would jack you up sometimes.

861
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 11: You know.

862
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 4: That's how seriously was about us getting our education and

863
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 4: trying to make it in this because they knew what

864
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,280
Speaker 4: we were going to, know what we was up against.

865
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 4: And again this can restore our mentality because you know,

866
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 4: call in this day and time, we need to have

867
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 4: you know, we had what I called us colonized mindset,

868
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 4: and this is one of the ways that we can

869
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 4: change our mindsets because when the truth is being told

870
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 4: and people find out who they really are and what

871
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 4: they truly capable of doing and not letting mass meet up,

872
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 4: you know, sidetracked them with the fake news that they say.

873
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,240
Speaker 4: And for the first time, like I said, i'll children,

874
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 4: and not only that, there's a host of people that

875
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 4: came up in the sixties and said they have no

876
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 4: clue arter this went on as well.

877
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good thing that you did that. David.

878
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: Let's stay right there. We've got to step aside and

894
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: had to turn the break of tweet. I want to

895
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: know about the churches because a lot of these churches

896
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: are very old. Are they featured in this documentary?

897
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 4: Yes, we did. We had some of the great ministers

898
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 4: as well as the churches who were civil rights leaders.

899
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:31,919
Speaker 4: You know back in the day when the churches work

900
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 4: was the community do with people with That's where they

901
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 4: had the meetings and stuff at vern adoptions. There's so

902
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 4: many great preachers back in the day. Uh, you know,

903
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 4: they was right there on the front line when it

904
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 4: was coming to civil rights movements and things like that.

905
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 4: We had a gentleman there I didn't know. I heard

906
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 4: about it. And this is a guy named Sweet Daddy

907
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 4: Grace to you. I don't know about them, but he

908
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 4: was one powerful preacher back in the day. He was

909
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 4: very flamboyant and stuff like this. So you know, we

910
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,320
Speaker 4: had some great courage came from out of Baltimore and

911
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 4: like can say, and uh, we had gained national attention

912
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 4: and uh, but our churches was the backbone of the community.

913
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 4: And see and and also I remember almost all the churches.

914
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 4: They was like our meeting place, you know. And we

915
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 4: had so many marching bands back in our day, and

916
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 4: mostly them was operated out of the churches. And so

917
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 4: the youth had plenty of things to do back in

918
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 4: our time. And so we you know, they kept us

919
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 4: busy and and and and we was very social, you know,

920
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:33,879
Speaker 4: so we well back and we didn't have the cell

921
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,720
Speaker 4: phones and all that. Everybody socialized back in them days.

922
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 4: But there was plenty of activities you know that that

923
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 4: adults you know, you know, put up for us, you know,

924
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 4: back in them days. And so you know, even the

925
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 4: school systems man was worth pretty great because we had

926
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,280
Speaker 4: a lot of trade schools. I went to a school

927
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 4: called four fifty TV had the carvers and places like that.

928
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 4: We can actually learn trades.

929
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 3: And so it was just just yes, sir, colleges as well.

00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 4: Well, we had the of course Martin State University and

931
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 4: the Coppins there were two black institutions that that we

932
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 4: came up. And then we had some powerful back in

933
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 4: the day. You know, we didn't have that many high schools,

934
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 4: but we had the Douglass the carvers and dumb bars

935
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 4: and places like that, you know, with most of our

936
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 4: sports people came from out of and entertainers came from

937
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:35,840

941
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 4: right undown note right then, you know, right before.

942
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: After the top there moment, Chelda are going to speak

944
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 1: the University of District of Columbia u DC. It's a

945
00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:00,760
Speaker 1: scientologists we get to in moment, Charlie. But David, this document, folks,

946
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:02,800
Speaker 1: how can they get a pre screaming? Are is that

947
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,000

00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 4: Yes, it is and they can call me at four

949
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:14,359

950
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you that this is one of the

951
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 4: major That's why I was so I'm preciated that, you know,

952
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 4: God handed us down to me. Is because this whole

953
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,800
Speaker 4: thing is not just about Black Baltimore. It's about black Chicago,

954
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 4: Black Atlanta, like Los Angeles. We can do it all

955
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 4: that night, you know, for the first time, really tell

956
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 4: our stories. I'm more than willing to collaborate with anyone

957
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 4: who wanted, you know, to tell our story because if

958
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 4: we don't, if our generations don't do, this may be

959
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 4: lost forever. As I said before, when the Oulton dies,

960
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 4: the whole library dies with them, and we down at

961
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 4: a rapid pace. But they're still hoping. There's still time

962
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 4: because not only that, we're bringing our young folkus on

963
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 4: on this campaign, to work with us on this, on

964
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 4: this documentary team. You know, we won't.

965
00:49:57,840 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 7: We want to get the whole village involved with this thing.

966
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: Oh great, because the young folks they know the new

967
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: technology too, because and make it well produced. Yeah, I

968
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 1: love that, and you're right. But if this weekend the

969
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 1: bills you said, Bill has something going this weekend as well,

970
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 1: that you want to mention that before you go.

971
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 7: Yeah, yes, it's at the pace there I forget zay.

972
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,359
Speaker 4: I think from one to three or something. I'm not sure,

973
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 4: but you can call me again and I can give

974
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,800
Speaker 4: you the day and time of Bill's giving a series

975
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 4: of some of the stuff that he went through with

976
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 4: some of the great leaders out of Baltimore. Can they

977
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 4: derived it Clays, the great ministers and the people Eric

978
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,280
Speaker 4: Easton's and so many people. They no longer with us today,

979
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:40,879
Speaker 4: but they see, like I said, we've been putting in work,

980
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 4: and that's why it's so important that we must start

981
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 4: telling our story. There's so much information out there, and

982
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 4: I'm just so pleased that now we finally begin to

983
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 4: document ourselves and to tell our stories and to share

984
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 4: with our children and our freuture generations who we really are,

985
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 4: because like I said before, all the stuff that they

986
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 4: got on us is not good and it's not true.

987
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 10: You know.

988
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 1: And David, if folks have the want to contribute to

989
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: as well, they've they've got archives, maybe family photos and

990
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 1: information from back in the day.

991
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 3: Can they share that with you as well?

992
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's the main thing, because that's what we're

993
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,760
Speaker 4: in the process of doing that, and we're still interviewing elders.

994
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 4: We got people men who has whole libraries of information

995
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 4: of all these great people coming to their homes and stuff.

996
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 4: You know, that's the way, whether they sit there and

997
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 4: dealing with people, you know, they come to town and

998
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 4: this I mean, but like I said, we got so

999
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 4: many people like the Roads, Alice Torrente and all these people.

1000
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 4: I mean, they got bosses and bosses of photos from

1001
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:45,359
Speaker 4: back in the day and we're gonna take a lot

1002
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 4: of that stuff and then gonna upload it, you know,

1003
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 4: and stuff like this, and so many people all over Baltimore.

1004
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 4: So we all putting out a shout out for anybody

1005
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 4: who would like to get involved in the documentary to

1006
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 4: give me a call, those in Baltimore and again those

1007
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 4: who all through to d ask for if y'all want

1008
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 4: to do something. And you know, we have a blueprint

1009
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 4: and we can do it really economically, you know, you know,

1010
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,479
Speaker 4: because of the technology. But it's like I said, again,

1011
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 4: this is about us, about us telling our stories. And

1012
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 4: I truly believe when we start finally telling our true story,

1013
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,800
Speaker 4: our whole trajectory about who we are and how we

1014
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 4: do things would actually change. Because again I am I was,

1015
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 4: like I said, I was so amazed at so much

1016
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,720
Speaker 4: stuff that was right under my notes, and I didn't

1017
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:33,839
Speaker 4: have no clue all this stuff was going on until

1018
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 4: I started doing this. And again I said before that

1019
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 4: was the first time. Because there's so much negativity about

1020
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 4: Baltimore that I was hearing and I lived here, but

1021
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 4: this is the first time, like I said, I was

1022
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,800
Speaker 4: so proud of being a black Baltimorrow because based on

1023
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 4: the research that I found out who we are and

1024
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,320
Speaker 4: what we really did. It made and it made a

1025
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:56,239
Speaker 4: big difference in my life and I can miss what

1026
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 4: it can do to so many others.

1027
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: Good for you, David, So give us number a game

1028
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:01,279

Speaker 1: into things.

1049
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 12: Oh okay, Well, I'm currently a University of This English

1050
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 12: professor at the University of District of Columbia, past National

1051
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 12: President with the Association of Black Psychologists from two thousand

1052
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 12: and nine to twenty eleven. I've had an opportunity to

1053
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 12: work at a number of institutions of high education and

1054
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:15,880
Speaker 12: very much in the community as well. I originally am

1055
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 12: from Ohio, but I've been pretty much all around. But

1056
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,280
Speaker 12: the thing that brings me to you is the latest

1057
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 12: book that I had an opportunity to co author with

1058
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 12: the colleague of mine, and that book is titled Epignomic

1059
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:33,280
Speaker 12: Awareness as a Key to Black Mental Health, The Disruptive

1060
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 12: Effects of Not Knowing. And I always have to preface

1061
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 12: I'm not a geneticist, and as I jokingly sometimes say,

1062
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 12: I don't pretend to play one on TV either. However,

1063
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 12: in twenty eleven, when I was finishing my two year

1064
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 12: term as National President of the Association of Black Psychologists,

1065
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 12: I received a call to be a guest host on

1066
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 12: the Diane Reemshaw on National Public Radio and the title

1067
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:03,240
Speaker 12: of the program was and Criminal Behavior. And the reason

1068
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 12: this occurred was because of investigative reporters for The New

1069
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 12: York Times had originally in nineteen ninety two written a

1070
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 12: story that another investigative reporter brought back up in twenty eleven,

1071
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 12: and the story was in nineteen ninety two that the

1072
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 12: US puts a halt talks tying Jings to crime because

1073
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 12: there was this idea that blacks were genetically predisposed to

1074
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 12: criminal behavior. And then in twenty eleven, the follow up

1075
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:39,919
Speaker 12: investigative report looked at genetic basis for crime a new look.

1076
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:47,880
Speaker 12: Underlying both investigative reports was a discovery that NIH was

1077
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:54,800
Speaker 12: financing academic conferences that were searching for information that was

1078
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 12: taking an unjustified leap, and that leap that it was

1079
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 12: basically taking was suggesting that blacks were somehow predisposed to

1080
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 12: criminal behavior. This is kind of a pseudo scientific eugenics

1081
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:11,799
Speaker 12: kind of idea that minimized, marginalized, and really put us

1082
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 12: in a way that it pathologized us as a people.

1083
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:23,800
Speaker 12: And so based upon that investigative reporting, based upon the

1084
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 12: opportunity to participate in the interview. I decided I would

1085
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:32,839
Speaker 12: begin with my colleague to do as much research as

1086
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 12: we could to make sure that anyone who was engaged

1087
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 12: in this idea would recognize that the Association of Black

1088
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:43,800
Speaker 12: Psychologists was paying attention and they could be at our table,

1089
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 12: but more importantly, we could be at their table as

1090
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 12: well to better understand how they come to these conclusions

1091
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 12: and begin to change that and create a real scientific

1092
00:56:56,080 --> 00:57:01,240
Speaker 12: approach to understanding the role of genetics in this particular context.

1093
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 12: The book, fourteen years in the making, looked at all

1094
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 12: the research that was available. We did what we call

1095
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 12: a meta analysis, where you're looking at quantitative and qualitative

1096
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 12: research that has a lot of data based upon animal studies,

1097
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 12: and research that looks at longitudinal issues that have to

1098
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 12: do with what happened to people in terms of famine, war, genocide,

1099
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 12: all of these kinds of things. And the consequence of

1100
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 12: it was that we uncovered some things that had not

1101
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 12: been spoken about before, and so the book really delves

1102
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 12: into all four hundred eighteen pages of it delves into

1103
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 12: in giving a deeper, richer understanding of what we need

1104
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 12: to recognize now as a psychologist. This became important because

1105
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 12: while we have basic tools that we use to understand

1106
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 12: human behavior. I felt that we needed to add this

1107
00:57:56,480 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 12: new tool and so my colleague and I, doctor Skylowood,

1108
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 12: began to do this. And I'm going to give a

1109
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 12: quick shout out if I can, to doctor Ayo Sakai, who.

1110
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 11: Is the.

1111
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 12: Founder and publisher of Universal Right Publication that published the book,

1112
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 12: because being able to have a book like this published

1113
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 12: by a black publisher and a black publishing house was

1114
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 12: very important to making sure that we could get it

1115
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 12: to our community to be able to better understand what

1116
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 12: was going on.

1117
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so fourteen half that time let me interview for

1118
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 1: acond because you know, I'm just what you just said

1119
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: at reminded me of it. Dr Welson when she was here,

1120
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:38,080
Speaker 1: told us about the role of the media play. She says,

1121
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 1: in any American city, on the evening news, you'll probably

1122
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 1: see something that a black person, usually a black man,

1123
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 1: in cuffs or wanted or arrested, and what that does

1124
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: to the psychology of not just the oppressor, but also

1125
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 1: to us because we, as you mentioned, people think we're

1126
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: predisposed to be criminals and the and the role of

1127
00:58:58,280 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 1: the media place.

1128
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 3: Can you address that before get into the book.

1129
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think you're a previous seeker. Kind of touched

1130
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 12: on some important points related to this in terms of

1131
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 12: understanding the importance. He talked about Baltimore's and really the

1132
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 12: nation having a deeper, richer understanding of our history, because

1133
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 12: our history helps to revive our memory, and that memory

1134
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 12: is really critically important if we want to not be

1135
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 12: controlled by others, and so we have to basically overturn

1136
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 12: efforts to erase our memory. We have to overturn efforts

1137
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 12: to suppress the practices of our culture that are a

1138
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 12: part of our memory. And then we have to begin

1139
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 12: to support those institutionally, those institutions that engage in helping

1140
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 12: us understand what our culture is, what our socialization is,

1141
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,480
Speaker 12: so that we can educate our children and have a

1142
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:56,200
Speaker 12: better opportunity to control the situations we live in, to

1143
00:59:56,320 --> 01:00:00,439
Speaker 12: control our well, to control our information knowledge. Talked about

1144
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 12: educational systems, things of that nature. So what becomes really

1145
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 12: important in terms of what the book addresses is it

1146
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 12: addresses some of the biological issues that are impacted by

1147
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:19,439
Speaker 12: the pseudoscientific ideas. In other words, if we really begin

1148
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 12: to look at one of the things that became important

1149
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 12: from our study is we recognized that poverty and racism

1150
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 12: can negatively affect or impact epigenetic functioning and accelerate the

1151
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 12: shortening of what when you look at the DNA wrapped

1152
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 12: up into the chromosome and the pieces at the end

1153
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 12: of the chromosomes that keep it together are called telomeres.

1154
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 12: What's important here is that the research there were two

1155
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 12: studies in particular. One study was Black American men in

1156
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 12: twenty fourteen, and the findings literally suggested that racism makes

1157
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 12: people own. That's important to know, and the lead author

1158
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 12: on that particular study also talked about the same as

1159
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 12: true for women. There was a study in the US

1160
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 12: based upon the study of women's health across the nation

1161
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:14,520
Speaker 12: acronym swans to ba in and they noticed that the

1162
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 12: telemes of black and white middle aged women were compared.

1163
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 12: The results for shocking, Black women were found on average

1164
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 12: to be over seven years more biologically aged than their

1165
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 12: white counterparts, consistent with higher rates of poverty, stress, hypertension, obesity,

1166
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 12: and related conditions. So what this says to us is

1167
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 12: that the conditions that we often find ourselves in.

1168
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 4: Is really.

1169
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 12: Important to understanding our health. What this also meant was

1170
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 12: that we needed to really begin to combat the idea

1171
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 12: that when we talked about the impact of systemic and

1172
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 12: institutional racism, that we were not just speaking about something

1173
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 12: that we didn't know about, that when we complained or

1174
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 12: had issues with what was happening to us in our lives,

1175
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 12: it was real and a lot of that then took

1176
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 12: us to the conversation of really beginning to address this

1177
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 12: whole social construct of race. And that's important because as

1178
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 12: we began to uncover.

1179
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 1: And doctor Cook hold, I thought right there, we got

1180
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 1: to step aside for a few moments, say this is

1181
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 1: great information you're sharing with us so far, and I

1182
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 1: want you to continue. When we get back family, you

1183
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:27,720
Speaker 1: two can join the conversation with doctor Benson Cook from

1184
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 1: UDC University of the District of Columbia. You can reach

1185
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:33,480
Speaker 1: us at eight hundred four or five zero seventy eight

1186
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 1: seventy six. I wean't take your phone calls. Nextcarding you

1187
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:38,160
Speaker 1: a Wednesday with us, it's a hump day that we're

1188
01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 1: halfway through the workweek with our guests. That one on

1189
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: top psychologist doctor Benson Cook. He's a co author of

1190
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 1: the book Epigymnemic Awareness. He's got to explain what that

1191
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 1: means as well as a key. It's a black mental health,

1192
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 1: the destructive effects of not knowing. You've seen a lot

1193
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 1: of times they think that because you're black, you're predisposed

1194
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 1: to be a criminal. And he talked about telling as

1195
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:02,840
Speaker 1: we hear Dr B. Well, it's about telling us those

1196
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 1: strings at ask to you, I guess part of your

1197
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 1: DNA that tells you how long you will live. So

1198
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 1: doctor picking up from there and let us and then

1199
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 1: we'll get into the book.

1200
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 12: Okay, So you said something that's really important, and that

1201
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 12: is to break this down a little bit more. So,

1202
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 12: let me give an example. We know, for example, that

1203
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 12: our DNA contains the instructions for building all the parts

1204
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 12: of the body. But DNA is only part of the

1205
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 12: story because the DNA is wrapped around these like hisstones,

1206
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:33,920
Speaker 12: just like a spool that you wrap thread around. Okay,

1207
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 12: and both the DNA and the histones are covered with

1208
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 12: these chemical tags. Now that those chemical tags are actually

1209
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 12: what we call epi genome. The epi is a Greek

1210
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:47,640
Speaker 12: word for on top of the genome, on top of

1211
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 12: the genes, and that shapes the physical structure of the genome,

1212
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 12: and it can tightly wrap, making the genes unreadable, or

1213
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 12: it can for the most part, relax making the genes.

1214
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:02,920
Speaker 12: So let's take it to another level to understand it.

1215
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 12: But that basically means is that each of us knows

1216
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:10,640
Speaker 12: as a human being that we have our parents, our

1217
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:14,120
Speaker 12: parents who are responsible for giving birth to us. On

1218
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 12: the father's side, let's say there may be certain physical

1219
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:21,720
Speaker 12: illnesses like heart disease, cancer. On the mother's side, it

1220
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 12: might be diabetes. Can you figure things like that? Then

1221
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:28,040
Speaker 12: when you look at the offspring, it's not uncommon that

1222
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 12: you will see the offspring but many of these elements

1223
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 12: that they have inherited. However, it's really interesting in twin studies.

1224
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:39,760
Speaker 12: One twin who and everything should be identical. One may

1225
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 12: have the illness that the other doesn't have, so researchers

1226
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:45,320
Speaker 12: kind of look at this to understand what's going on.

1227
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,880
Speaker 12: This is where I think the better understanding of what

1228
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:55,000
Speaker 12: the epigenome is about began to become clear, meaning that

1229
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 12: these chemical tags, and this is a very simplistic way

1230
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 12: of thinking about it, act like an on off switch.

1231
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 12: It can cut on or cut off these markers of

1232
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 12: hereditary influence. So for me, this became really important in

1233
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 12: terms of moving into what the book talks about, because

1234
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 12: it was recognizing that social events, the things that happen

1235
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 12: outside of us, have a profound impact. So now you

1236
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 12: could see not only did systemic institutional systemic and institutional

1237
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 12: racism impact impact us physiologically, biologically, psychologically, neurologically, neurochemically, but

1238
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:43,880
Speaker 12: it also epigenetically. So this makes it even more important

1239
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 12: for us to address what has happened so that we

1240
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:52,080
Speaker 12: could begin to look at ways of developing strategies that

1241
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 12: can sustain long term wellness. And so the book not

1242
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 12: only gets into the issues that impact us like imminent

1243
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 12: domain lining, restrictive covenants, gentrification, the police goes on, you know,

1244
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 12: police stereotyping, innumaine harassment, medical and psychological misdiagnosis, but we

1245
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 12: could also begin to look at some of these strategies

1246
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:17,520
Speaker 12: around nutrition, around and let's put a pen on nutrition

1247
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 12: for a minute. There are and I oftentimes use myself

1248
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 12: as an example. If I look at my mom and

1249
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:30,000
Speaker 12: my dad and I look at my siblings, clearly my

1250
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:34,040
Speaker 12: siblings are experiencing more of the effects of what they

1251
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 12: inherited from my father and our father and our mother. However,

1252
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:41,880
Speaker 12: I'm very fortunate that I'm not now. It doesn't mean

1253
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 12: I'm some kind of favorite child. It basically means that

1254
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:47,600
Speaker 12: there were certain things that I paid attention to early

1255
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 12: on that really made a difference. I remember my mom

1256
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:53,640
Speaker 12: had what we called a diabetic attack when I was

1257
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:57,280
Speaker 12: graduating from college, and I said, you know, what can

1258
01:06:57,320 --> 01:06:58,560
Speaker 12: I do to help? And she said, well, you don't

1259
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 12: want this. I said, well, what would I I do

1260
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 12: to not get this? She said, don't drink, don't smoke, exercise,

1261
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:09,680
Speaker 12: eat right, get your rest, and don't hang around crazy

1262
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 12: people that stress you out. Now, at the time, I

1263
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:14,480
Speaker 12: wouldn't have thought a whole lot about it, but I,

1264
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 12: you know, got to you know, love my mam, I'm

1265
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 12: gonna do as you say it. At the same time,

1266
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 12: if she was still alive, and she's not because of

1267
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 12: the illnesses that impacted her and her siblings, and the

1268
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 12: same with my father and his siblings, I would say

1269
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 12: that's the core of what I've been able to better understand.

1270
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:38,640
Speaker 12: So looking at the role that nutrition plays is critically important,

1271
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:42,920
Speaker 12: absolutely critically important. And so another way of kind of

1272
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:47,120
Speaker 12: breaking this down so that it becomes simple to understand

1273
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 12: is that while we know that there are foods that

1274
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 12: improve mental health, like you know, foods that are high

1275
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 12: in vitamin DTA help protection of serotonin which impacts mood,

1276
01:07:57,600 --> 01:07:59,640
Speaker 12: or foods that are higher in magnesium that help it.

1277
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 12: Anxis my specialty is major depression. That's important. At the

1278
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 12: same time, we know that foods that are grown and

1279
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:12,160
Speaker 12: harvested in factories are foods that are composed of artificial duyes, preservatives,

1280
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:16,040
Speaker 12: and synthetic nutrients, and that's not healthy for you. We

1281
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:20,080
Speaker 12: know that sugar is related to inflammation at the cellular level,

1282
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:23,760
Speaker 12: and its associated with not only the increased risk of depression,

1283
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 12: but also Alzheimer's disease. So now we begin to look

1284
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 12: at well, we know that I remember I was doing

1285
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 12: presentations while back when somebody said, why do I keep

1286
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 12: calling it food? Does this the desert didn't do it

1287
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,720
Speaker 12: to us? I said, okay, let's call it food and security. Then,

1288
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:41,840
Speaker 12: So communities that have food insecurity because they don't have

1289
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 12: nonprocessed foods easily, in other words, the only foods that

1290
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:50,639
Speaker 12: are available or processed foods they do not have access

1291
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:53,640
Speaker 12: to a close walk to a store where they have

1292
01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 12: homegrown foods or foods that are more healthy, and so

1293
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 12: as a consequence of that, they end up impacting the

1294
01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:08,240
Speaker 12: epigeno meta level where they inherit the issues that create

1295
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 12: to poor help. And so it's really important to understand

1296
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:15,680
Speaker 12: that this is the link that when you begin to

1297
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:19,519
Speaker 12: look at the role of systemic and institutional racism that

1298
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 12: creates these barriers in these boundaries, it locks us, as

1299
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:29,599
Speaker 12: a group that may be underserved, underrepresented, low wealth into

1300
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 12: situations where we are having more challenges maintaining our health.

1301
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 12: But yet we get pathologized for that as though we

1302
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:41,400
Speaker 12: are not, as they quote say, lifting ourselves by our bootsteps.

1303
01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 12: But it's much more involved in that. So the book

1304
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 12: talks about the things that we could begin to do.

1305
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:49,280
Speaker 12: Back in the day, it was not uncommon, especially when

1306
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:51,600
Speaker 12: you're looking at the migration of black folks from the

1307
01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 12: south to the north, to the east to the west.

1308
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:58,160
Speaker 12: People have gardens either in their backyard on their front porch.

1309
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:01,519
Speaker 12: In other words, we recognize the imports of doing for self.

1310
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:07,840
Speaker 12: Now there's a greater reliance on the community stores. And

1311
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:10,360
Speaker 12: when I say community stores, I should probably say the

1312
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 12: industrial locations to give us these processed foods, and we

1313
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:19,560
Speaker 12: have to recognize some of the abilitary's effects associated with that.

1314
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 12: So when you think about the epigenome, we're thinking about

1315
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 12: the possibility that if we have and this is why

1316
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 12: the second part of the book the disruptive effects of

1317
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 12: not knowing. If we're not aware of the things that

1318
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:36,680
Speaker 12: we can do nutritionally to turn things around, then we

1319
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:40,479
Speaker 12: run into problems another And again, as I was listening

1320
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:45,160
Speaker 12: to your earlier speaker talking about Baltimore, we looked at

1321
01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:49,720
Speaker 12: the impact of toxic environments, and in particular, there were

1322
01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:52,439
Speaker 12: studies that were done in Baltimore where you looked at

1323
01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:56,080
Speaker 12: an increase of violent crime, school suspension, given out attention,

1324
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:59,160
Speaker 12: adult incarceration, and a lot of that had to do

1325
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:04,679
Speaker 12: with a lot of schools and houses located near air pollution,

1326
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 12: water pollution, you know, dump sites, and things of that nature.

1327
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:13,559
Speaker 12: So again when you look about you know, the redlyning

1328
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:15,760
Speaker 12: and all of these things that have happened, it had

1329
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 12: a profound impact on our ability to be aware of

1330
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:27,080
Speaker 12: how the things that are happening around us have a profound,

1331
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 12: delitarious effect on our health and our well being. As

1332
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:36,320
Speaker 12: a psychologist, one of the things that well, the Association

1333
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:39,559
Speaker 12: of Black Psychologists was created in nineteen sixty eight as

1334
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 12: a way of defining our reality, because the American Psychological

1335
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:48,000
Speaker 12: Association at that time was not really engaged in addressing

1336
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:51,600
Speaker 12: the issues that we recognized had a profound impact on

1337
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 12: our health and our well being. However, it was really

1338
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:59,440
Speaker 12: interesting in October of twenty twenty one they finally acknowledged

1339
01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 12: their role in promoting, perpetuating, and failing to challenge racism,

1340
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:07,559
Speaker 12: racial discrimination, and human hierarchy in the US, in other words,

1341
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 12: the reasons that we would papologize. And so it becomes

1342
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 12: really important, and the book talks about this, that we

1343
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:20,960
Speaker 12: recognize that the issues were not just limited to how

1344
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:29,240
Speaker 12: we were psychologically, physiologically, biologically, neurologically, neurochemically, it was also epiggnomically.

1345
01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:33,040
Speaker 12: And that makes it much more imperative that we began

1346
01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 12: to address all of these issues that look at not

1347
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:40,000
Speaker 12: just what happens to us when we're living, but how

1348
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:44,760
Speaker 12: it affects us in terms of intergenerational changes and transgenerational

1349
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 12: So in other words, the things that happened to our

1350
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:50,559
Speaker 12: ancestors have had and continue to have a profound impact

1351
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:53,400
Speaker 12: on us. However, there are things that we can do,

1352
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:56,720
Speaker 12: and so the book really begins to address many of

1353
01:12:56,800 --> 01:12:59,320
Speaker 12: the things that we could do, because when you begin

1354
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:02,200
Speaker 12: to really look at all of this. In the final analysis,

1355
01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:06,160
Speaker 12: doctor webin I indicate that if trauma can be passed

1356
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:10,240
Speaker 12: down from generation to generation, so too can the healing.

1357
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:13,080
Speaker 1: All right, old that fought right there twenty eight away

1358
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:15,320
Speaker 1: from the top of doctor Cook DoD to cook it

1359
01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 1: explain how that that trauma is passed down from one

1360
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:21,559
Speaker 1: generation to the other. Is it like if your parents

1361
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:24,960
Speaker 1: have a kidney disease, you probably have kidney issues as well,

1362
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:28,640
Speaker 1: or diabetes you can pass it on. How does the

1363
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:31,560
Speaker 1: trauma is it the same? Is that passed on the

1364
01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:32,040
Speaker 1: same way?

1365
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:36,559
Speaker 12: Yeah, So the way that I understood, they're okay, trying

1366
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:38,320
Speaker 12: to think of the simplest way to understand it. The

1367
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:43,000
Speaker 12: simplest way to understand it is that the genome has

1368
01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:47,360
Speaker 12: passed from parents to their offspring and from sales when

1369
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:49,760
Speaker 12: the sales divide to their next generation. Much of the

1370
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:54,519
Speaker 12: epigenome is reset when parents pass their genomes to their offspring. However,

1371
01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:58,080
Speaker 12: under some circumstances, some of the chemical tags on the

1372
01:13:58,160 --> 01:14:01,960
Speaker 12: DNA and histones of eggs and sperm may be passed

1373
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 12: on to the next generation. So when sales divide, often

1374
01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:08,840
Speaker 12: much of the epigenome has passed on to the next

1375
01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 12: generation of cells, helping the cells remain specialized. So for example,

1376
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 12: if you have a man, for example, who has a history,

1377
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:23,160
Speaker 12: especially in his early years, of a large alcohol consumption,

1378
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:28,080
Speaker 12: smoking things like this, it is encoded in the sperm

1379
01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:35,639
Speaker 12: and passed on so that when it impregnates the woman,

1380
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:41,040
Speaker 12: she has this from demand. Okay, and that then impacts

1381
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:46,880
Speaker 12: what the offspring's health will be. And that's intergenerational. If

1382
01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 12: this continues, then it has an impact transgenerationally. Let's think

1383
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 12: of a generation as every thirty years. Okay, so when

1384
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:59,519
Speaker 12: we look at each generation, many families can retrace. In fact,

1385
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:01,080
Speaker 12: when they go to we didn't just say oh yeah

1386
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:03,880
Speaker 12: you got that. Oh yeah that uncle so and so,

1387
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:06,519
Speaker 12: Grandpa so and so had that. Yeah, I hear great

1388
01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:09,320
Speaker 12: grandpa had that, great grandma had that. So these are

1389
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:15,439
Speaker 12: things that we now wanted to discuss in the book.

1390
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:18,160
Speaker 1: Well hold on, let me know for a second, though

1391
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:21,760
Speaker 1: doctor Cook does it does it does sometimes just skip

1392
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:25,840
Speaker 1: a generation to skip a group and then hit you

1393
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:28,560
Speaker 1: back because maybe you don't know your great grandparents have

1394
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:32,040
Speaker 1: these these issues and the diabetes. So all the kidney

1395
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:35,200
Speaker 1: issues stuff that you know impacts our community quite a lot.

1396
01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:37,760
Speaker 1: And then your parents didn't have, but your grandparents had

1397
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:40,120
Speaker 1: or your great grandparents. Does it ever do that with

1398
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:41,840
Speaker 1: all these other the trauma issues.

1399
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:46,000
Speaker 12: And this is why again I mentioned those earlier studies

1400
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:49,519
Speaker 12: in the sense that there are things that we can

1401
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:54,760
Speaker 12: do to create a change and how our DNA is

1402
01:15:54,960 --> 01:16:02,200
Speaker 12: read okay, or how it is activated. So again twin

1403
01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:05,920
Speaker 12: studies focuses on this in terms of looking at how

1404
01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:11,320
Speaker 12: two identical twins one is healthy and one is not well?

1405
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:14,479
Speaker 12: Why is the one not healthy with something that is

1406
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:18,120
Speaker 12: part of a genetic predisposition? And part of it is

1407
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:22,120
Speaker 12: because there are things that one can do in terms

1408
01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:24,559
Speaker 12: of and I mentioned just to one thing. There's another

1409
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:27,560
Speaker 12: thing is how to manage stress in the environment. So

1410
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:30,360
Speaker 12: if you look at nutrition and the row nutrition plays,

1411
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:33,880
Speaker 12: you look at how we can effectively learn how to

1412
01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:37,240
Speaker 12: manage stressors in our life. Those are two areas that

1413
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:41,439
Speaker 12: have been studied extensively for exam for example, when you

1414
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:45,439
Speaker 12: look at the famine studies that we looked at, clearly

1415
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:49,880
Speaker 12: the Dutch famine that occurred during World World War two

1416
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:53,800
Speaker 12: was probably one of the better documented ones. When you

1417
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:56,679
Speaker 12: look at that, you see that, Okay, there were illnesses,

1418
01:16:56,760 --> 01:17:00,920
Speaker 12: physical illnesses and then mental illnesses like schizophrenia that the

1419
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:05,880
Speaker 12: people suffered, their immediate children suffered that. But then the

1420
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:09,840
Speaker 12: question is if the parent who experienced it, the child

1421
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:11,960
Speaker 12: who was in that same environed experience it, how do

1422
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:15,400
Speaker 12: you explain it for the offspring that their other offspring

1423
01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:18,599
Speaker 12: who didn't experience have some of the same problems.

1424
01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:22,320
Speaker 1: Okay, and hold though right there you're bowling down. Somebody's

1425
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 1: out right. And now doctor Cook family, this is doctor

1426
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:27,599
Speaker 1: Bench and Cook one of our top psychologists. And interesting

1427
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:29,880
Speaker 1: conversation here, what do you think do you think we're

1428
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:32,400
Speaker 1: predisposed for violence and all this other stuff? This is

1429
01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:34,400
Speaker 1: why they study does in this new book that he's

1430
01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:35,720
Speaker 1: got out, and we'll talk to it more. But we

01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:17,360
Speaker 1: speaking to a doctor these days now how long it

1448
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:19,479
Speaker 1: takes to get an appointment and when you do, it's

1449

Speaker 1: usually five or ten minutes. Also, before we go back

1450
01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:25,640
Speaker 1: to doctor Cook though, I got to offer our condolences

1451
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:29,200
Speaker 1: to the family of Minister Abdul Akbah Muhammad. He was

1452
01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:33,599
Speaker 1: the Nation of Islam's international representative. He was like Marco Rubio,

1453
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:36,320
Speaker 1: if you will, for the nation. He represented the Minister

1454
01:18:36,360 --> 01:18:38,360
Speaker 1: far Gun in the nation. The nation has more than

1455
01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:40,599
Speaker 1: one hundred is in more than one hundred and eighty

1456
01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:44,400
Speaker 1: countries across the globe, so that was his job. He

1457
01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:46,160
Speaker 1: was one of our regular guests here and one of

1458
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 1: the nicest persons you could ever meet. Minister Akabahm Mohamed.

1459
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:51,360
Speaker 1: He started with Minister Farkhn in New York and when

1460
01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:53,280
Speaker 1: so as you know the history of the nation, when

1461
01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:56,320
Speaker 1: they split up and he was tight with Malcolm and

1462
01:18:56,640 --> 01:18:59,200
Speaker 1: he went with Minister far Ghn. Well he made his transition.

1463
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:02,400
Speaker 1: So again condulcens to his daughters and also all the

1464
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 1: members of the Nation of Islam, and also Ramadam Mubar

1465
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:07,240
Speaker 1: for Muslim brothers as well. Anyway, let's go back to

1466
01:19:07,320 --> 01:19:10,720
Speaker 1: doctor Cook. Doctor Cook, I'll let you finish your thought

1467
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:13,160
Speaker 1: and that because you also what I like about your book,

1468
01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:15,160
Speaker 1: you come with solutions to what we can do. So

1469
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:16,800
Speaker 1: I'll let you finish your thought and then tell us

1470
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:18,880
Speaker 1: about some of the things we can do if we

1471
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:20,599
Speaker 1: if this is a and it may be a problem

1472
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 1: in many of our families that we don't know about,

1473
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:25,360
Speaker 1: or if we talk to our grandparents or our parents

1474
01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:28,759
Speaker 1: and you know, and they've had kidney problems or diabetic problems,

1475
01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:32,320
Speaker 1: and that means we're predisposed. My question to you, if

1476
01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:35,640
Speaker 1: the family members or criminals, that means we predisposed if

1477
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:38,559
Speaker 1: they were super athletes, and we predisposed to be great athletes.

1478
01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:43,200
Speaker 12: Your response, Okay, you mentioned athletes. Let me just go

1479
01:19:43,360 --> 01:19:45,679
Speaker 12: back to a point I made earlier, which is really important.

1480
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:51,320
Speaker 12: For example, in many ways, but the Association of Black

1481
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:56,439
Speaker 12: Psychologists has done, among other things, is to really find

1482
01:19:56,479 --> 01:20:02,160
Speaker 12: ways to liberate the African mind. Are African American character And.

1483
01:20:06,479 --> 01:20:09,240
Speaker 1: Oh, I hope we have a lost doctor Cook. Kevin

1484
01:20:09,800 --> 01:20:12,000
Speaker 1: Ken you check us if we the doctor Cook's line

1485
01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:14,160
Speaker 1: job fourteen away from the top of the our family.

1486
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:15,000
Speaker 3: Uh.

1487
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:16,800
Speaker 1: And well, Kevin just said, let me just tell a

1488
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 1: little bit more about minister our Dull akbah Mohammad. He was,

1489
01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:24,920
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, he was from New York with Minister

1490
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:27,599
Speaker 1: Farco and mister Farcon was in charge of the Temple

1491
01:20:27,680 --> 01:20:31,360
Speaker 1: number seven. Back then it was called Temple the number seven.

1492
01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:34,120
Speaker 1: Back then the Nation of Islam were called black Muslims.

1493
01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:37,519
Speaker 1: Now it's a mosque number seven, and minister Farcard changed

1494
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:40,679
Speaker 1: all of that. And he was telling his stories about

1495
01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:43,360
Speaker 1: with Malcolm that when Malcolm came to town, there was

1496
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:45,680
Speaker 1: so the crowds were so large, had a movie from

1497
01:20:45,720 --> 01:20:49,040
Speaker 1: Harlem to Midtown Manhattan, the Manhattan Center, that so many

1498
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:51,960
Speaker 1: people showed up. But he decided to stay with minister

1499
01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:54,960
Speaker 1: fire count so and he made his transition a couple

1500
01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:57,280
Speaker 1: of days ago. So again our condulcens to his family.

1501
01:20:57,520 --> 01:20:59,760
Speaker 1: Doctor Cook, we got you back, so I'll let you

1502
01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:00,519
Speaker 1: feel your thought.

1503
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:04,639
Speaker 12: Yes, okay. So my point is that in the book

1504
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:07,640
Speaker 12: there's a piece that we really wanted to highlight, and

1505
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:10,120
Speaker 12: that is the social construct of race. In other words,

1506
01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:14,000
Speaker 12: a lot of the conflation, the confusion, the the lame,

1507
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:19,439
Speaker 12: the skewing of the research data that pathologized us has

1508
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:24,760
Speaker 12: to be addressed to reveal to us that a lot

1509
01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:28,479
Speaker 12: of what we've been accused of can be real because

1510
01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:32,320
Speaker 12: race is not biological. It is a social construct that

1511
01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:35,880
Speaker 12: was created to control. And the book kind of looks

1512
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:41,679
Speaker 12: at some of the earlier pseudoscientific ways in which people

1513
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:44,080
Speaker 12: did this, like Dropdomania. I don't know if you've ever

1514
01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:47,120
Speaker 12: heard of that, but back in the eighteen hundreds there

1515
01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:50,679
Speaker 12: was a physician Sam of Cartwright who basically was saying

1516
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:55,320
Speaker 12: that the idea that we wanted to be free from

1517
01:21:55,479 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 12: enslavement meant that we had a mental illness. Okay, now

1518
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:04,280
Speaker 12: to move that forward, you mentioned something about sports back

1519
01:22:04,439 --> 01:22:08,519
Speaker 12: in twenty twenty I think it was twenty twenty one.

1520
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:14,479
Speaker 12: The scientific American had an report the NFL race Norming

1521
01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:17,920
Speaker 12: is an afterlife of slavery, and what it said basically

1522
01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:22,160
Speaker 12: was a situation that lawsuits that African American players were

1523
01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:25,799
Speaker 12: making in order to get help benefits was not being allowed.

1524
01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:31,240
Speaker 12: In particular, black former players will automatically assumed through this

1525
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:37,200
Speaker 12: statistical manipulation called race norming, trying to make race biological

1526
01:22:37,240 --> 01:22:40,400
Speaker 12: when it's a social construct, to have started with worse

1527
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:44,519
Speaker 12: cognitive functioning than their white former players. As a result,

1528
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:47,000
Speaker 12: if a black former player and a white former player

1529
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:49,800
Speaker 12: received the exact same raw scores and a battery of

1530
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:53,599
Speaker 12: tests that were designed to measure their current cognitive functioning,

1531
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:56,680
Speaker 12: their ability to think in reason, and all of that,

1532
01:22:57,280 --> 01:23:00,759
Speaker 12: the black player was presumed to have suffered less impairment

1533
01:23:01,479 --> 01:23:05,160
Speaker 12: and as therefore, was less likely to qualify for compensation.

1534
01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:07,920
Speaker 12: So here you have it that they're saying the brains

1535
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:10,760
Speaker 12: were different. Again, that's part of that pseudoscientific idea, But

1536
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:14,120
Speaker 12: it also got into how when we think about how

1537
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:18,759
Speaker 12: our young black boys and young black men were treated

1538
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:21,680
Speaker 12: by police, there were studies that showed that there was

1539
01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 12: this in the social construct of race, just kind of

1540
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:29,479
Speaker 12: making a superhumanization bias that they would have about us.

1541
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 12: So you got to put your knee on the neck,

1542
01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:33,360
Speaker 12: you got to choke them out, you gotta be the mixture,

1543
01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:36,160
Speaker 12: you got to shoot them more because these people are different.

1544
01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:39,120
Speaker 12: And the studies go on, even to the point of

1545
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:44,320
Speaker 12: looking more recently in the past five years now, one

1546
01:23:44,400 --> 01:23:46,320
Speaker 12: of the tests that they used to do to determine

1547
01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:49,760
Speaker 12: kidney functioning had to change because they were basic it

1548
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:52,360
Speaker 12: on this idea again social construct or face, where you

1549
01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:54,439
Speaker 12: know they have more muscle mass blah blah blah blah blah,

1550
01:23:55,200 --> 01:24:00,880
Speaker 12: and basically we're giving a test with a different data

1551
01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:05,880
Speaker 12: set assessment for blacks. So you couldn't qualify for a

1552
01:24:06,120 --> 01:24:10,000
Speaker 12: kidney transplant, you couldn't qualify for certain services based upon

1553
01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:14,559
Speaker 12: this pseudoscientific idea. So part of what the book really

1554
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:19,360
Speaker 12: wanted to address was how and understanding that it created

1555
01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:24,320
Speaker 12: even more problems with respects to understanding the bodies functioning

1556
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:28,200
Speaker 12: from an epigenomic perspective. So it was saying, as we

1557
01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:32,880
Speaker 12: look at our mental health and our physical health, we

1558
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:38,680
Speaker 12: must not limit ourselves to just understanding what's happening physiologically

1559
01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:42,120
Speaker 12: and psychologically and biological and neurologically we also have to

1560
01:24:42,200 --> 01:24:46,120
Speaker 12: look at the epigeno. So the body is marvelously built

1561
01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:48,160
Speaker 12: and it does what it's supposed to do. But when

1562
01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:52,479
Speaker 12: people try to take the actions of what the body

1563
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:58,320
Speaker 12: does and superimpose upon it these pseudoscientific, eugenic like ideas,

1564
01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:03,160
Speaker 12: then that's bad. And so the book basically gets into

1565
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:06,000
Speaker 12: the disruptive effects of not knowing that and then looking

1566
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:08,800
Speaker 12: at what we can do in terms of recognizing the

1567
01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:12,719
Speaker 12: impact of toxic environment, recognizing the impact of proper nutrition,

1568
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:15,639
Speaker 12: recognizing the impact you have someone coming on king about

1569
01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:19,919
Speaker 12: holistic medicines, you know, looking at that, Recognizing the importance

1570
01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:23,479
Speaker 12: of social support systems that are culturally relevant. These are

1571
01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 12: all of the things that we wanted to address in

1572
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:29,519
Speaker 12: the book that to our understanding, had not been addressed before,

1573
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:33,240
Speaker 12: based upon the fourteen years of work that Dr Web

1574
01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:35,960
Speaker 12: and I put into writing this. And when I say

1575
01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:39,360
Speaker 12: the book was fourteen years in the making, it was

1576
01:25:39,439 --> 01:25:44,519
Speaker 12: built upon having done journal articles, news journal articles, book chapters,

1577
01:25:44,920 --> 01:25:48,600
Speaker 12: presentations and the like over that period of time, so

1578
01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:52,120
Speaker 12: that we could make sure that we were collecting everything

1579
01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:56,320
Speaker 12: that we could to speak to this issue and really

1580
01:25:56,400 --> 01:25:58,800
Speaker 12: ground it in a way that people would be able

1581
01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:02,840
Speaker 12: to have a betterunderstanding and improved insight into ways to

1582
01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:04,960
Speaker 12: maintain optimum mental health.

1583
01:26:06,479 --> 01:26:09,080
Speaker 1: Ate away from the toffee, doc, Can you can you again,

1584
01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:13,599
Speaker 1: you know, explain what epigename is, I mean messing it up,

1585
01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:15,280
Speaker 1: pronouncing it. Can you explain what that is for the

1586
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:15,840
Speaker 1: late comers?

1587
01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:22,439
Speaker 12: Yeah, okay. So the epigenome is the chemical tags that

1588
01:26:22,720 --> 01:26:25,479
Speaker 12: lay on top of the DNA, which is called the

1589
01:26:25,560 --> 01:26:34,760
Speaker 12: genome that when they either wrapped tightly, that's like an

1590
01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:39,160
Speaker 12: on offs which is cutting access off. When it is

1591
01:26:39,720 --> 01:26:43,120
Speaker 12: relaxes and opens up, it makes the DNA more readable.

1592
01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:47,240
Speaker 12: And so what becomes important is events outside of us

1593
01:26:47,439 --> 01:26:51,400
Speaker 12: like stress, our ability or inability to cope with it, nutrition,

1594
01:26:52,439 --> 01:26:57,120
Speaker 12: eating the healthy things that enhance our livelihood. Those fact

1595
01:26:57,240 --> 01:27:00,400
Speaker 12: those kinds of factors can have a profound impact. At

1596
01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:03,280
Speaker 12: the same time. One of the things that I said

1597
01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 12: that also can have a profound impact was based upon

1598
01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:10,120
Speaker 12: two studies that I mentioned, and one study basically showed

1599
01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:14,160
Speaker 12: that poverty and racism negatively impact the epigenome at the

1600
01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:20,280
Speaker 12: same time of poverty, stress, hypertension, obesity, and other related

1601
01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:23,360
Speaker 12: health conditions. So systemic and institution and racism are real

1602
01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:27,000
Speaker 12: and it's not something like, we're not like they say, oh,

1603
01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:29,040
Speaker 12: you need to just lift us up on bio on bootstraps.

1604
01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:29,439
Speaker 10: We do that.

1605
01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:34,640
Speaker 12: We've done that even without having boosts or strengths. You know,

1606
01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:37,400
Speaker 12: that's an idiom that they created to kind of throw

1607
01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:40,960
Speaker 12: us off. My point being that we have to become

1608
01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:46,440
Speaker 12: more aware of what's happening to us, not just generationally,

1609
01:27:46,840 --> 01:27:50,240
Speaker 12: but intergenerationally and transgenerationally to begin to come up with

1610
01:27:50,360 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 12: solutions that can sustain us in our future.

1611
01:27:54,160 --> 01:27:54,320
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1612
01:27:54,360 --> 01:27:56,599
Speaker 1: But some people that I listen to this, especially white folks,

1613
01:27:56,640 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 1: will say that is suit of scientists, that you creating

1614
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:07,320
Speaker 1: excuses for black people, the criminals and the rest. I

1615
01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:08,160
Speaker 1: know you want to get in.

1616
01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:11,400
Speaker 12: So here's the doctor vitt I say, far of the

1617
01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:14,479
Speaker 12: eighteen pages, if you want to have a debate on this,

1618
01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:18,880
Speaker 12: the first thing is have you read the citations? And

1619
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:21,120
Speaker 12: they say, yeah, well, have you read the references to

1620
01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:24,479
Speaker 12: the citations? Because you have about eighty pages and like

1621
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:28,120
Speaker 12: maybe the size of the print is probably seventh fonts.

1622
01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:34,040
Speaker 12: We got about eighty pages of literally over a thousand references.

1623
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:36,600
Speaker 12: And if you still have want to debate after that,

1624
01:28:36,760 --> 01:28:39,080
Speaker 12: have you read the footnotes at the end? Have you

1625
01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:42,400
Speaker 12: or within the text and the citations for the footnotes,

1626
01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:46,800
Speaker 12: and after that. My only perspective is this, if you've

1627
01:28:46,880 --> 01:28:48,920
Speaker 12: done all of those things you say, you read the book,

1628
01:28:49,040 --> 01:28:52,439
Speaker 12: you read the citations, you read the footnotes, you read

1629
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:55,680
Speaker 12: the references, then I can try to go on my

1630
01:28:55,840 --> 01:29:00,479
Speaker 12: rododex and find somebody who can offer some psychological therapy

1631
01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:03,719
Speaker 12: for you to help you deal with what, however, ails

1632
01:29:03,800 --> 01:29:05,960
Speaker 12: you because you don't want to deal with the facts

1633
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:07,120
Speaker 12: of science.

1634
01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:10,479
Speaker 1: Right, and a lot of people don't believe in science.

1635
01:29:10,800 --> 01:29:12,880
Speaker 1: It's sad about that. Listen, we got to step uside

1636
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:14,840
Speaker 1: and get caught up with the traffic and whether or

1637
01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:16,680
Speaker 1: not different cities. When we come back, though, can you

1638
01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:19,080
Speaker 1: give us a you know, give us a short version

1639
01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:23,439
Speaker 1: of how strategies so we can sustain long term wellness.

1640
01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:25,719
Speaker 1: I appreciate it if you could do that for us family.

1641
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:28,200
Speaker 1: I guess it's doctor Benson Cook. I mean, this stuff

1642
01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:30,880
Speaker 1: is really really deep. If you got a question, reach

1643
01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:32,640
Speaker 1: out to us real quick at eight hundred four or

1644
01:29:32,680 --> 01:29:35,720
Speaker 1: five zero seventy eight seventy six, and we'll taket phone

1645
01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:37,880
Speaker 1: calls after we check the traffic and weather, not different cities.

1646
01:29:38,040 --> 01:29:41,839
Speaker 1: That's next, and Grand Rising family. Welcome to another wellness Wednesday,

1647
01:29:41,880 --> 01:29:43,920
Speaker 1: if you will morement Talia, We're going to speak with

1648
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:47,479
Speaker 1: doctor A. Doctor A is a traditional medical doctor and

1649
01:29:47,560 --> 01:29:49,439
Speaker 1: she's also a holistic doctor as well. And many of

1650
01:29:49,479 --> 01:29:51,080
Speaker 1: you wait to the last minute to call in and

1651
01:29:51,160 --> 01:29:55,000
Speaker 1: hope somebody has the same aimment or same issue that

1652
01:29:55,120 --> 01:29:56,680
Speaker 1: you do, so you don't have to call him. But

1653
01:29:56,760 --> 01:29:59,680
Speaker 1: don't be bashful, take advantage of our expertise. But let's

1654
01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:02,519
Speaker 1: with doctor Benson Cook, a psychologists, and we're talking about

1655
01:30:03,320 --> 01:30:05,880
Speaker 1: why gene awareness of gene expression is vital to our

1656
01:30:05,920 --> 01:30:08,439
Speaker 1: health and mental health as well. He says that you

1657
01:30:08,600 --> 01:30:11,360
Speaker 1: have some strategies to sustain long term wellness, can you

1658
01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:12,080
Speaker 1: share those with us?

1659
01:30:12,160 --> 01:30:12,559
Speaker 3: Real quick?

1660
01:30:13,479 --> 01:30:15,640
Speaker 12: Yeah, just a real click, I guess. In closing, I

1661
01:30:15,760 --> 01:30:19,840
Speaker 12: say it's about becoming the whole person and the ultimate

1662
01:30:19,880 --> 01:30:23,479
Speaker 12: objective is to really force a more truthful rendition of

1663
01:30:23,560 --> 01:30:27,960
Speaker 12: the human experience, and in doing so, it helps us

1664
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:32,160
Speaker 12: to recognize that there are things outside of us that

1665
01:30:32,320 --> 01:30:34,920
Speaker 12: have an impact on what's going on inside of us,

1666
01:30:35,240 --> 01:30:38,120
Speaker 12: all the way down to the epigen ums, and that

1667
01:30:38,400 --> 01:30:43,360
Speaker 12: we can, as I stated earlier, doctor Webini describe how

1668
01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:48,400
Speaker 12: in understanding what trauma is and how Understanding how trauma

1669
01:30:48,479 --> 01:30:51,400
Speaker 12: impacts us at that level, and understanding that it has

1670
01:30:51,479 --> 01:30:56,479
Speaker 12: passed down generation to generation. The same thing is true

1671
01:30:56,520 --> 01:31:00,519
Speaker 12: for the healing. And so ultimately, if we look at

1672
01:31:00,600 --> 01:31:03,479
Speaker 12: a truthful rendition about the human experience and the things

1673
01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:06,920
Speaker 12: that we can do, we can begin to create the

1674
01:31:07,040 --> 01:31:09,120
Speaker 12: kind of change that we want to see. And a

1675
01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:11,840
Speaker 12: lot of it takes place with being aware of our

1676
01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:16,400
Speaker 12: environment that we live in. Toxic environments have a profound

1677
01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:19,600
Speaker 12: impact on our health. Being aware of the nutrition what

1678
01:31:19,680 --> 01:31:22,880
Speaker 12: we take into our system, Understanding what we could do

1679
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:25,800
Speaker 12: to begin to create or define our reality about what

1680
01:31:25,920 --> 01:31:28,799
Speaker 12: we eat when we don't live in communities that support

1681
01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:33,680
Speaker 12: good health. Understanding how to effectively manage stress, Recognizing that

1682
01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:34,479
Speaker 12: in many.

1683
01:31:34,320 --> 01:31:37,600
Speaker 7: Ways we have to find ways to.

1684
01:31:39,160 --> 01:31:42,519
Speaker 12: Engage in those social support systems that are culturally relevant,

1685
01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:47,799
Speaker 12: be it the church, be it demoscia, be it social

1686
01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:53,200
Speaker 12: support groups and things of that nature. Those opportunities provide

1687
01:31:53,280 --> 01:31:57,840
Speaker 12: us with a way to achieve harmony, balance, authenticity, and

1688
01:31:57,960 --> 01:32:00,800
Speaker 12: cultural awareness about the environment in which we live.

1689
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:01,919
Speaker 9: And so the book.

1690
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:05,000
Speaker 12: Begins to point out a subject that had not been

1691
01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:08,120
Speaker 12: put together in the way that doctor webin I did,

1692
01:32:08,439 --> 01:32:12,360
Speaker 12: and that is recognizing how we begin by understanding the

1693
01:32:12,479 --> 01:32:13,680
Speaker 12: power of the epigeno.

1694
01:32:15,720 --> 01:32:17,160
Speaker 1: The title of the book and how can we get

1695
01:32:17,200 --> 01:32:18,000
Speaker 1: a copy of the book.

1696
01:32:19,600 --> 01:32:24,160
Speaker 12: The title of the book, Epignomic awareness as a key

1697
01:32:24,520 --> 01:32:26,920
Speaker 12: to Black normal health, The destructive effects of not knowing.

1698
01:32:28,160 --> 01:32:32,840
Speaker 12: The publishing companies Universal Right Publication I mentioned earlier. Doctor

1699
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:37,200
Speaker 12: Ayosakai is the founder and publisher. So you can go

1700
01:32:37,280 --> 01:32:41,400
Speaker 12: online Universal Right Publications U N I, D E. R. S. R.

1701
01:32:41,760 --> 01:32:45,280
Speaker 12: WRIT Publication. You can get it there or is available

1702
01:32:45,400 --> 01:32:49,960
Speaker 12: on any of the other locations Amazon, Barnes, and Noble,

1703
01:32:50,080 --> 01:32:56,160
Speaker 12: you know, you name it. It's out there and came

1704
01:32:56,200 --> 01:32:59,479
Speaker 12: out in twenty twenty five, so definitely it is available

1705
01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:02,160
Speaker 12: you can access it.

1706
01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:05,240
Speaker 1: Seems like a fascinating study. I think we haven't even

1707
01:33:05,280 --> 01:33:08,479
Speaker 1: scratched the surface of the issue, you know, just just

1708
01:33:09,080 --> 01:33:11,880
Speaker 1: just but what you've just said. So we got to

1709
01:33:11,920 --> 01:33:13,680
Speaker 1: have you back, and because I want to hear more

1710
01:33:13,760 --> 01:33:16,840
Speaker 1: about solutions, you know, because I keep hearing people say, well,

1711
01:33:16,960 --> 01:33:19,880
Speaker 1: you know, diabetes runs in my family, so I got

1712
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:22,479
Speaker 1: to you know, I expect to be diabetic. On the

1713
01:33:22,560 --> 01:33:24,960
Speaker 1: health side, we talk about that. It's good that the

1714
01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:28,200
Speaker 1: other folks say that we're predisposed to be criminals, and

1715
01:33:28,439 --> 01:33:31,680
Speaker 1: you defunk that, but help us also a debunk the

1716
01:33:31,720 --> 01:33:34,840
Speaker 1: issue if you're predisposed to have diabetes or kidney problems

1717
01:33:34,840 --> 01:33:37,920
Speaker 1: because your parents have that or grandparents had that. So

1718
01:33:38,040 --> 01:33:40,439
Speaker 1: we'll come back thought, let's let's flesh that out more.

1719
01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:43,800
Speaker 12: Okay, And again one of the things I could do

1720
01:33:44,040 --> 01:33:47,600
Speaker 12: in coming back is to focus on key studies so

1721
01:33:47,760 --> 01:33:52,360
Speaker 12: that it can answer the question by giving you samples

1722
01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:55,280
Speaker 12: of what people have had and what people have done.

1723
01:33:55,560 --> 01:33:58,400
Speaker 12: There's some amazing studies that we looked at that really

1724
01:33:58,479 --> 01:34:01,439
Speaker 12: speak on that, that really blew. It was a learning

1725
01:34:01,560 --> 01:34:05,600
Speaker 12: experience for both doctor Webb and I and doing this

1726
01:34:05,760 --> 01:34:07,479
Speaker 12: fourteen years of work on this book.

1727
01:34:08,040 --> 01:34:09,840
Speaker 1: And it's been a learning experience for us. Just a

1728
01:34:09,960 --> 01:34:12,920
Speaker 1: fascinating study. Again, I keep saying it just you know,

1729
01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:16,320
Speaker 1: I'm just glad to know that that we're not predisposed

1730
01:34:16,360 --> 01:34:20,519
Speaker 1: to be criminals. Somebody who's actually documented because Dr Welson

1731
01:34:20,560 --> 01:34:23,840
Speaker 1: has said before said that how the media placed that

1732
01:34:23,960 --> 01:34:27,040
Speaker 1: into our minds. And she said, in every city, major city,

1733
01:34:27,120 --> 01:34:29,280
Speaker 1: on the evening news, you got to see a black person,

1734
01:34:29,400 --> 01:34:32,800
Speaker 1: usually a black man in cuffs, and that's in the

1735
01:34:32,880 --> 01:34:34,960
Speaker 1: mind of white folks, that's who we are in the

1736
01:34:35,040 --> 01:34:36,920
Speaker 1: mind of sal our people. That's who we are too.

1737
01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:40,360
Speaker 1: So I'm glad you bunked that issue as well. So

1738
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:43,160
Speaker 1: thank you, doctor Cook. Are you on social media? Can

1739
01:34:43,200 --> 01:34:44,599
Speaker 1: people follow you on social media?

1740
01:34:45,600 --> 01:34:49,639
Speaker 12: No, I'm not so social media. I'm not on social media.

1741
01:34:49,760 --> 01:34:52,800
Speaker 12: But I present around the country and around the world

1742
01:34:53,320 --> 01:34:57,519
Speaker 12: on this. I've been outside of the country on both

1743
01:34:57,560 --> 01:35:00,519
Speaker 12: sides of the globe talking about this in terms of

1744
01:35:00,640 --> 01:35:04,240
Speaker 12: the externalized impact of racism and racial trauma and the

1745
01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:07,760
Speaker 12: internalized impact of it. So I talk about it in

1746
01:35:07,880 --> 01:35:11,320
Speaker 12: terms of presentations and of course reading the book. And

1747
01:35:13,120 --> 01:35:17,160
Speaker 12: I'm currently as a as you indicated, a faculty at

1748
01:35:17,400 --> 01:35:20,040
Speaker 12: the University of District of Columbia, and I teach courses

1749
01:35:20,560 --> 01:35:24,439
Speaker 12: that incorporate the information from the research that has been learned.

1750
01:35:25,240 --> 01:35:26,840
Speaker 1: All right, family, you go to you DC and make

1751
01:35:26,920 --> 01:35:29,559
Speaker 1: sure you take one of his classes. That's doctor Benson Cook.

1752
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:31,920
Speaker 1: Doctor Cook, thank you. We've got to get you back

1753
01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:34,720
Speaker 1: here real soon, because this is just great. You know,

1754
01:35:34,760 --> 01:35:37,200
Speaker 1: it's talking about learning, you know, Kevin asked how it

1755
01:35:37,200 --> 01:35:39,280
Speaker 1: feels I'm learning. I just learned a lot this morning

1756
01:35:39,280 --> 01:35:41,599
Speaker 1: from me. Well, hopefully we get a chance to share

1757
01:35:41,600 --> 01:35:43,000
Speaker 1: that with our listeners as well.

1758
01:35:43,400 --> 01:35:44,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, but before I get up, I just want to

1759
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:48,280
Speaker 12: honor you for having this platform that gets information to

1760
01:35:48,360 --> 01:35:51,880
Speaker 12: our community, because without this kind of platform, there's so

1761
01:35:52,040 --> 01:35:55,200
Speaker 12: much more that you know, we're not learning. But with

1762
01:35:55,320 --> 01:35:58,920
Speaker 12: your a platform, you're bringing on people that not only

1763
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:01,800
Speaker 12: expose what we need to know, but exposing the wealth

1764
01:36:02,160 --> 01:36:05,080
Speaker 12: of intellects that exists in our community. So I thank

1765
01:36:05,120 --> 01:36:05,439
Speaker 12: you for that.

1766
01:36:06,280 --> 01:36:08,040
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for those kind ways. We do have

1767
01:36:08,160 --> 01:36:10,840
Speaker 1: some superstars on the program. One is coming up next.

1768
01:36:10,920 --> 01:36:14,639
Speaker 1: Thank you, doctor Cook. Okay, thank you, all right, family,

1769
01:36:14,720 --> 01:36:17,679
Speaker 1: I turn our attention to our next guest, doctor a doctor,

1770
01:36:17,720 --> 01:36:18,679
Speaker 1: a Grand Rising.

1771
01:36:18,800 --> 01:36:23,160
Speaker 5: Welcome back to the program, Grand Rising, Carl. It is

1772
01:36:23,240 --> 01:36:26,919
Speaker 5: so wonderful to be back with your audience. Your audience

1773
01:36:27,080 --> 01:36:30,560
Speaker 5: really really invigorates me. Every time I leave being a

1774
01:36:30,640 --> 01:36:35,000
Speaker 5: guest on your show, I've got this supernatural flow going

1775
01:36:35,080 --> 01:36:38,120
Speaker 5: through my body and it's the energy of the Carl

1776
01:36:38,240 --> 01:36:43,240
Speaker 5: Nelson listenership. That power in listenership. I love coming back

1777
01:36:43,280 --> 01:36:43,840
Speaker 5: to this show.

1778
01:36:44,800 --> 01:36:46,680
Speaker 1: Hell, let me just tell a family, if you are

1779
01:36:46,880 --> 01:36:49,439
Speaker 1: you or somebody that you know has got a health

1780
01:36:49,600 --> 01:36:52,840
Speaker 1: issue and you know, or if you've even been to

1781
01:36:52,920 --> 01:36:54,800
Speaker 1: a doctor you're dealing with one and you want to

1782
01:36:54,800 --> 01:36:58,799
Speaker 1: get another opinion, you please take advantage of doctor A's

1783
01:36:58,920 --> 01:37:02,400
Speaker 1: expertise a traditional doctor where it's the white jacket, but

1784
01:37:02,520 --> 01:37:04,760
Speaker 1: she's also a natural pathic doctor. She'd give you a

1785
01:37:04,800 --> 01:37:08,920
Speaker 1: holistic advice as well. Sometimes you need both. Sometimes you

1786
01:37:08,920 --> 01:37:11,320
Speaker 1: don't want to take the pharmaceutical stuff and there's another

1787
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:13,320
Speaker 1: way to be treated. She can share that with you.

1788
01:37:13,720 --> 01:37:16,720
Speaker 1: And again, don't be bashfuled. Please call in and take

1789
01:37:16,760 --> 01:37:19,040
Speaker 1: advantage of what she's got will share with you, and

1790
01:37:19,120 --> 01:37:20,960
Speaker 1: you don't have to use real name or your real city.

1791
01:37:21,080 --> 01:37:23,320
Speaker 1: But because I know some folks that want people to

1792
01:37:23,360 --> 01:37:25,760
Speaker 1: know their business, I get it. But you know, you've

1793
01:37:25,800 --> 01:37:28,280
Speaker 1: only got one life, and you know, going to these

1794
01:37:28,320 --> 01:37:30,720
Speaker 1: doctors today, if you try to even just trying to

1795
01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:33,960
Speaker 1: make an appointment, it just seems like it's months out,

1796
01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:35,960
Speaker 1: weeks out before you can see the doctor you want to.

1797
01:37:36,400 --> 01:37:38,280
Speaker 1: You've got stuff going on that you really need to

1798
01:37:38,320 --> 01:37:41,920
Speaker 1: be addressed immediately. Doctor A. We talked with doctor Cook

1799
01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:44,840
Speaker 1: about you know, some of us claim that we predisposed

1800
01:37:45,000 --> 01:37:48,679
Speaker 1: because of our family is to to diabetes and kidney issues.

1801
01:37:48,880 --> 01:37:51,720
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on those things about predisposed?

1802
01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:58,519
Speaker 5: So it's a reality, it's a scientific reality. Many many

1803
01:37:58,840 --> 01:38:05,360
Speaker 5: of our disease states. We are already in our genomic

1804
01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:11,400
Speaker 5: makeup high risk or increase risks. And what we didn't

1805
01:38:11,479 --> 01:38:16,560
Speaker 5: know prior to this present twenty first century period is

1806
01:38:16,680 --> 01:38:21,120
Speaker 5: that we actually could diagnose that prior to the onset

1807
01:38:21,200 --> 01:38:25,360
Speaker 5: of symptoms or disease. So that's the reality, Carl. The

1808
01:38:25,560 --> 01:38:32,040
Speaker 5: expansion of recognition of cracking the human genomic code, Okay,

1809
01:38:32,600 --> 01:38:37,360
Speaker 5: as African people, is certainly the revelation of from the

1810
01:38:37,479 --> 01:38:41,360
Speaker 5: minute that you're born onto the world, your genes are there. Okay,

1811
01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:45,479
Speaker 5: they may not all be expressed like puberty for example. Okay,

1812
01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:50,840
Speaker 5: your femininity comes into full blossom at puberty, your masculinity

1813
01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:53,840
Speaker 5: comes into full blossom at puberty, but you're born with it.

1814
01:38:54,720 --> 01:38:57,640
Speaker 5: So in the same right, are you born with an

1815
01:38:57,760 --> 01:39:02,560
Speaker 5: increased risk high risk for breath cancer, for diabetes, for

1816
01:39:02,720 --> 01:39:07,080
Speaker 5: autoimmune disease, etc. That is a reality. The other part

1817
01:39:07,120 --> 01:39:09,719
Speaker 5: of it, which he mentioned and which is equally true

1818
01:39:10,479 --> 01:39:15,160
Speaker 5: is exposure. You know, so I heard him mentioning toxic environment.

1819
01:39:15,840 --> 01:39:20,400
Speaker 5: Hello Flint, Michigan. Hello, Yes, if somebody is poisoning you

1820
01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:24,840
Speaker 5: with lead based water because they got crappy pipes, even

1821
01:39:24,880 --> 01:39:28,719
Speaker 5: though you pay your taxes. Then yes, that's environmental poison

1822
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:32,840
Speaker 5: and let's keep it real, Carl, Black and brown communities

1823
01:39:32,960 --> 01:39:37,760
Speaker 5: are more high likely to be poisoned than our Caucasian communities,

1824
01:39:37,800 --> 01:39:40,240
Speaker 5: and we have proof of that. So we need to

1825
01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:45,200
Speaker 5: stay very cognizant. We need to be very intentional as

1826
01:39:45,280 --> 01:39:49,599
Speaker 5: we move into this two thousand and twenty six going

1827
01:39:49,680 --> 01:39:53,080
Speaker 5: into twenty seven before we blink our eyes. This is

1828
01:39:53,160 --> 01:39:55,559
Speaker 5: my first time talking to your audience since we've gone

1829
01:39:55,600 --> 01:39:59,639
Speaker 5: to war. And of course, my mother, Mama Bernita Thompson,

1830
01:40:00,040 --> 01:40:03,960
Speaker 5: that found it and runs the roots, her granddaughter is

1831
01:40:04,040 --> 01:40:08,960
Speaker 5: now at war. Okay because despite our simpleton heads that

1832
01:40:09,120 --> 01:40:14,280
Speaker 5: says female soldiers are not equipped to fight. Yeah, okay,

1833
01:40:14,680 --> 01:40:17,400
Speaker 5: very very nice. We're equipped to birth the nation, but

1834
01:40:17,520 --> 01:40:21,880
Speaker 5: not to fight. Well, we do fight, both both genders.

1835
01:40:22,280 --> 01:40:27,840
Speaker 5: Every ethnicity is fighting this Ignoramus's war in Iran. So

1836
01:40:28,520 --> 01:40:30,600
Speaker 5: you know, Kamario, let me interview that.

1837
01:40:30,760 --> 01:40:34,959
Speaker 1: He said that, and it is still deploying of female soldiers.

1838
01:40:35,320 --> 01:40:36,519
Speaker 1: He's female militant.

1839
01:40:36,640 --> 01:40:41,720
Speaker 5: All he wanted to do was disrespect female soldiers, female sergeants,

1840
01:40:41,920 --> 01:40:46,120
Speaker 5: female generals. He's very very rude and disrespectful, but of

1841
01:40:46,200 --> 01:40:49,600
Speaker 5: course they are still dying. Carl. You saw of the

1842
01:40:49,720 --> 01:40:53,160
Speaker 5: first six soldiers to die, there were women where they're

1843
01:40:53,200 --> 01:40:56,519
Speaker 5: not He's an idiot. But but we're all now fighting

1844
01:40:56,600 --> 01:41:00,360
Speaker 5: this war. And as you saw this morning, NATO's the

1845
01:41:00,479 --> 01:41:03,400
Speaker 5: hell with the US. Okay, y'all didn't ask us permission

1846
01:41:03,479 --> 01:41:05,920
Speaker 5: to fight. How you're going to ask us for help now? No,

1847
01:41:06,040 --> 01:41:10,040
Speaker 5: we're not going to help. So the oil that's getting

1848
01:41:10,120 --> 01:41:13,879
Speaker 5: through the strait of Vermouse, it's China and India. Basically,

1849
01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:17,240
Speaker 5: anybody that hates the US is welcome to get their oil.

1850
01:41:19,479 --> 01:41:21,760
Speaker 1: What does this do to the stress. It seems like

1851
01:41:21,880 --> 01:41:24,479
Speaker 1: this is especially for you, your family. You've got a

1852
01:41:24,560 --> 01:41:28,040
Speaker 1: member in the military. How does it impact you the

1853
01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:31,000
Speaker 1: stress of you know, because you're concerned about being out,

1854
01:41:31,280 --> 01:41:34,200
Speaker 1: You've got a relatives out there in the firing line,

1855
01:41:34,240 --> 01:41:34,679
Speaker 1: if you will.

1856
01:41:35,560 --> 01:41:37,400
Speaker 5: That's right, absolutely in the fire.

1857
01:41:37,720 --> 01:41:37,880
Speaker 13: You know.

1858
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:40,840
Speaker 5: Now with drones, they are all in the firing line.

1859
01:41:40,960 --> 01:41:43,559
Speaker 5: They are all in the fire. There is no front line.

1860
01:41:43,640 --> 01:41:47,519
Speaker 5: The drone can just get you stress is real. What

1861
01:41:47,680 --> 01:41:50,439
Speaker 5: it actually does is it causes a reaction in the

1862
01:41:50,520 --> 01:41:56,000
Speaker 5: cells of your body. Okay, the oxidative stress that it

1863
01:41:56,160 --> 01:41:59,080
Speaker 5: causes the same effect as if you did a workout,

1864
01:41:59,280 --> 01:42:02,559
Speaker 5: except this more toxic. Okay, when you actually work out,

1865
01:42:02,880 --> 01:42:05,720
Speaker 5: you've heard of the runners high and so it's a

1866
01:42:05,800 --> 01:42:11,200
Speaker 5: reality your body will produce endorphins because movement is what

1867
01:42:11,360 --> 01:42:14,679
Speaker 5: God intended for us. That's why the Middle Passage, Carl

1868
01:42:14,840 --> 01:42:19,240
Speaker 5: was so diabolical. It was diabolical. Okay. You don't even

1869
01:42:19,360 --> 01:42:22,559
Speaker 5: put sardines in a can the way they put African

1870
01:42:22,760 --> 01:42:28,120
Speaker 5: men and women smashed together, putting feces on one another,

1871
01:42:28,360 --> 01:42:31,760
Speaker 5: because there's no room to defecate, there's no room for

1872
01:42:31,920 --> 01:42:35,840
Speaker 5: the the orifices of your body. You're literally back to back,

1873
01:42:36,200 --> 01:42:41,479
Speaker 5: sweat on top of sweat, dehumanized in that process. Okay,

1874
01:42:42,120 --> 01:42:45,800
Speaker 5: that movement is our nature. We are not supposed to

1875
01:42:45,880 --> 01:42:50,200
Speaker 5: be steel Karl. This is why the over intellectual people

1876
01:42:50,320 --> 01:42:54,360
Speaker 5: of us die first, because they're sitting still, thinking so

1877
01:42:54,560 --> 01:42:57,519
Speaker 5: hard they're not moving the cells of their body. Okay,

1878
01:42:57,840 --> 01:43:04,639
Speaker 5: so movement number one, Listenership, movement is medicine, So drink

1879
01:43:04,720 --> 01:43:08,280
Speaker 5: that for breakfast. Okay, get up and move. That's why

1880
01:43:08,360 --> 01:43:12,479
Speaker 5: we now have a work desk that are mobile work

1881
01:43:12,600 --> 01:43:15,479
Speaker 5: death that help you stand up stop sitting on your butt.

1882
01:43:16,080 --> 01:43:20,879
Speaker 5: So movement is healthy. On the other hand, stress is toxic,

1883
01:43:21,439 --> 01:43:24,920
Speaker 5: and when you mentally are going through stress, your body

1884
01:43:25,120 --> 01:43:29,040
Speaker 5: begins to burn up energy in the bad way. So

1885
01:43:29,240 --> 01:43:33,759
Speaker 5: now you have free radicals floating around in your body.

1886
01:43:34,200 --> 01:43:37,600
Speaker 5: Free radical cause disease. Carl, you started this morning with

1887
01:43:37,680 --> 01:43:42,000
Speaker 5: a very poignant question stress kills and now we can

1888
01:43:42,080 --> 01:43:47,920
Speaker 5: scientifically understand why. Because you're making free radicals, you're making

1889
01:43:47,960 --> 01:43:52,439
Speaker 5: your body acidic. The body is healthy in an alkalinized state.

1890
01:43:52,880 --> 01:43:55,160
Speaker 5: So the more you make your body acidic, you are

1891
01:43:55,360 --> 01:43:59,120
Speaker 5: making it toxic. You are making it fertile ground for

1892
01:43:59,280 --> 01:44:02,920
Speaker 5: a disease to manifest. So again going back to our

1893
01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:07,120
Speaker 5: genetic code, just because you have the genetic programming doesn't

1894
01:44:07,200 --> 01:44:10,400
Speaker 5: mean it will manifest. Some of us are high risk

1895
01:44:10,479 --> 01:44:13,759
Speaker 5: for breast cancer, and we're going to escape that toxic

1896
01:44:13,880 --> 01:44:17,320
Speaker 5: trap of the enemy because we are doing the right

1897
01:44:17,439 --> 01:44:22,000
Speaker 5: behavioral things. We are taking the right things in terms

1898
01:44:22,080 --> 01:44:24,880
Speaker 5: of the herbs that God put on this earth to

1899
01:44:25,120 --> 01:44:28,240
Speaker 5: heal us and to help us. We are using garlic

1900
01:44:28,360 --> 01:44:32,320
Speaker 5: to our advantage. We are using echinasia to our advantage.

1901
01:44:32,600 --> 01:44:35,760
Speaker 5: We are drinking alkaline water. These are the choices we

1902
01:44:35,880 --> 01:44:38,439
Speaker 5: have that our ancestors in the Middle Passage did not.

1903
01:44:39,200 --> 01:44:46,040
Speaker 5: We've got to exercise every every opportunity to be our

1904
01:44:46,280 --> 01:44:49,800
Speaker 5: God giving manifest selves. That is possible.

1905
01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:53,679
Speaker 1: We've got to and I'm glad you said that. And listen,

1906
01:44:53,680 --> 01:44:55,479
Speaker 1: we got to step aside and take a break with family.

1907
01:44:55,720 --> 01:44:58,439
Speaker 1: If you've got a health challenge, a health question, or

1908
01:44:58,479 --> 01:45:00,320
Speaker 1: if you're seeing a doctrine, you want to s second

1909
01:45:00,360 --> 01:45:03,280
Speaker 1: opinion and the folks, many of you don't have doctors

1910
01:45:03,360 --> 01:45:06,280
Speaker 1: as friends, and you can't speak to the doctor openly

1911
01:45:06,360 --> 01:45:09,040
Speaker 1: and have a full course discussion with a doctor. This

1912
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:10,680
Speaker 1: is a person you need to talk to. Her name

1913
01:45:10,800 --> 01:45:15,760
Speaker 1: is doctor A. Again, she's a traditional health practitioner you

1914
01:45:15,800 --> 01:45:17,720
Speaker 1: know who wear's the white jacket. But she's also a

1915
01:45:17,760 --> 01:45:20,880
Speaker 1: natropathic doctor too, so she'll give you a choice. You

1916
01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:24,240
Speaker 1: want the pharmaceuticals those you know, the pills that the

1917
01:45:24,320 --> 01:45:28,000
Speaker 1: doctor tells you, or the holistic way of recovery if

1918
01:45:28,040 --> 01:45:31,320
Speaker 1: you've got an issue, and again I please take advantage

1919
01:45:31,360 --> 01:45:33,439
Speaker 1: of her expertise. You don't have to use your real

1920
01:45:33,520 --> 01:45:35,880
Speaker 1: name or your real city. And don't wait for somebody

1921

Speaker 1: And if you got an issue, please don't be bachelor.

1931
01:46:05,280 --> 01:46:07,840

Speaker 5: re read Rihanna is not the only one with a

Speaker 3: Yeah, you know. Let me just say this.

1974
01:48:33,160 --> 01:48:35,800
Speaker 1: Sondra Robinson, she was listening to this station when Miss

01:48:35,880 --> 01:48:39,200
Speaker 1: Hughes turned on the lights. She's she's been listening ever since.

1976
01:48:39,680 --> 01:48:42,240
Speaker 1: And I don't Kevin probably killed because I can't remember

1977
01:48:42,280 --> 01:48:46,080
Speaker 1: that exactly when it started. I think it was in

1978
01:48:46,200 --> 01:48:50,400
Speaker 1: seventy nine or somewhere eighty Kevin, But anyway, Saunder's been

1979

1981
01:48:57,640 --> 01:48:59,519
Speaker 1: folks they grow up and they go and listen to

1982
01:48:59,560 --> 01:49:01,960
Speaker 1: other stations, not even listen to the radio anymore. So

1983
01:49:02,000 --> 01:49:04,519
Speaker 1: I just want to thank Sondra for her dedication and

1984
01:49:04,600 --> 01:49:08,599

1985
01:49:08,640 --> 01:49:10,479
Speaker 1: folks want to talk to you. Let's go to Atlanta. First,

1986
01:49:10,680 --> 01:49:13,640
Speaker 1: Milik is online. Three Milik Grand Rising. You're on with

1987
01:49:13,760 --> 01:49:14,120

Speaker 15: Good morning, and thank you for taking my call.

1989
01:49:20,200 --> 01:49:24,280
Speaker 5: Welcome Malak, Welcome, Okay.

1990
01:49:24,960 --> 01:49:29,040
Speaker 15: My question is in the realm of kidney health, I'm

1991
01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:32,519
Speaker 15: fifty two years old, I weigh one hundred and fifty

1992
01:49:32,600 --> 01:49:37,560
Speaker 15: five pounds, I'm a blackmail and my egf R is

1993
01:49:37,680 --> 01:49:42,640
Speaker 15: sixty nine sixty nine. My question is what do I

1994
01:49:42,720 --> 01:49:47,880
Speaker 15: need to do to get that number higher? And what's

1995
01:49:47,960 --> 01:49:51,160
Speaker 15: the time frame does it take to start to see results?

1996
01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:58,000
Speaker 5: Okay, you're what is sixty nine? Repeat? Repeat the number?

1997
01:49:58,080 --> 01:50:00,400
Speaker 12: What here?

1998
01:50:00,479 --> 01:50:01,720
Speaker 3: What gf R?

1999
01:50:02,960 --> 01:50:11,880
Speaker 5: Okay? Okay, yeah, yeah rate, you're mallular filteration rate? Okay, Now,

2000
01:50:11,920 --> 01:50:16,120
Speaker 5: I just wanted the communication to be clear so that

2001
01:50:16,280 --> 01:50:20,360
Speaker 5: we can all understand. Uh So again for the listenership

2002
01:50:20,520 --> 01:50:24,519
Speaker 5: We've gotten over the time that I've been doing the program,

2003
01:50:25,120 --> 01:50:29,479
Speaker 5: many many calls. One of our most popular topics is

2004
01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:34,639
Speaker 5: renal health, and kidney disease affects people of color much

2005
01:50:34,720 --> 01:50:38,960
Speaker 5: more drastically. The reason for that is because we have

2006
01:50:39,120 --> 01:50:43,200
Speaker 5: more diabetes, we're impacted more by hypertension, which is high

2007
01:50:43,240 --> 01:50:49,320
Speaker 5: blood pressure. So your glomular filtration rate is what measures

2008
01:50:49,760 --> 01:50:52,800
Speaker 5: how well your kidneys filter your blood. So thank you

2009
01:50:52,920 --> 01:50:56,160
Speaker 5: so much, Malik for calling us from Atlanta to really

2010
01:50:56,360 --> 01:51:00,320
Speaker 5: understand your glomerular filtration rate. And I'm so out of

2011
01:51:00,439 --> 01:51:04,640
Speaker 5: you as a man for even knowing that term. It

2012
01:51:04,800 --> 01:51:08,960
Speaker 5: means that you're engaging the healthcare system, which is your right.

2013
01:51:09,479 --> 01:51:13,800
Speaker 5: You absolutely one thousand percent have ancestors that bled and

2014
01:51:14,120 --> 01:51:17,360
Speaker 5: died for you to have the right to access to

2015
01:51:17,479 --> 01:51:24,840
Speaker 5: your GFR number. Okay, So kidney disease has stages stage one, two, three, four, five,

2016
01:51:25,120 --> 01:51:29,920
Speaker 5: and stage three has two parts. So let's understand kidney

2017
01:51:30,040 --> 01:51:34,800
Speaker 5: health Carl Nelson listenership across the country. Let's understand that

2018
01:51:34,960 --> 01:51:39,800
Speaker 5: stage one means there is minimal kidney damage and our

2019
01:51:39,880 --> 01:51:42,680
Speaker 5: kidneys are still functioning normally. This is when most of

2020
01:51:42,800 --> 01:51:45,559
Speaker 5: us are not going to the doctor. Okay, they could

2021
01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:49,760
Speaker 5: make you aware you've got stage one, your GFR is

2022
01:51:49,880 --> 01:51:53,280
Speaker 5: going to crap, but yet you feel great. That's the

2023
01:51:53,400 --> 01:51:57,200
Speaker 5: time to find out stage two. This is what brother

2024
01:51:57,320 --> 01:52:01,200
Speaker 5: Malik has got. He's got stage two kidney disease because

2025
01:52:01,280 --> 01:52:05,720
Speaker 5: your GFR is between sixty and eighty nine, but you

2026
01:52:05,920 --> 01:52:10,680
Speaker 5: below ninety above sixty. So my brother at stage two

2027
01:52:11,120 --> 01:52:14,560
Speaker 5: kidney disease, what are some of the things that you

2028
01:52:14,880 --> 01:52:19,599
Speaker 5: can do to avoid going to stage three, Stage four,

2029
01:52:19,720 --> 01:52:24,959
Speaker 5: stage five. It depends on the underlying cause you're basically

2030
01:52:25,720 --> 01:52:29,680
Speaker 5: the filtering unit of the kidney is called a gloomeyrier

2031
01:52:29,800 --> 01:52:34,639
Speaker 5: Lie glow mary Lie is the word for the kidney

2032
01:52:34,880 --> 01:52:39,880
Speaker 5: filtering unit. So when your kidney filtering units like your

2033
01:52:39,920 --> 01:52:42,920
Speaker 5: air conditioning units, right, we change the filters when we

2034
01:52:43,080 --> 01:52:47,400
Speaker 5: change seasons. If it's going down, that's not good. You've

2035
01:52:47,479 --> 01:52:50,320
Speaker 5: got to manage your blood pressure. You've got to manage

2036
01:52:50,360 --> 01:52:54,080
Speaker 5: your diabetes so that you can get this under control. Okay,

2037
01:52:54,560 --> 01:52:58,759
Speaker 5: once again, I always speak about Mama Bernita. Mama Bernita,

2038
01:52:59,120 --> 01:53:01,960
Speaker 5: Grace of God is healthy at seventy nine, but she

2039
01:53:02,080 --> 01:53:07,160
Speaker 5: has stage five kidney failure, not kidney disease failure. We're

2040
01:53:07,280 --> 01:53:11,439
Speaker 5: trying to prevent getting to that point. Exercise helps, a

2041
01:53:11,560 --> 01:53:16,120
Speaker 5: low thought, diet helps definitely. Don't be a smoker. Okay,

2042
01:53:16,439 --> 01:53:19,120
Speaker 5: you've got to quit smoking if you're doing that, But

2043
01:53:19,320 --> 01:53:23,120
Speaker 5: you've got to manage your diabetes and your blood pressure.

2044
01:53:23,400 --> 01:53:26,400
Speaker 5: Brother Malik, thank you for bringing our awareness at the

2045
01:53:26,479 --> 01:53:29,000
Speaker 5: top of the morning to the kidney once again.

2046
01:53:29,160 --> 01:53:32,639
Speaker 3: Thank you, all right, Thanks Releek.

2047
01:53:33,240 --> 01:53:37,760
Speaker 1: My question is it reversible doctor A thatstage or is

2048
01:53:37,800 --> 01:53:39,280
Speaker 1: it justable manageable?

2049
01:53:39,600 --> 01:53:39,640
Speaker 4: No?

2050
01:53:39,800 --> 01:53:43,599
Speaker 5: No, no, So everything before you get to stage five

2051
01:53:43,800 --> 01:53:46,160
Speaker 5: is reversible. Once you're at stage five, now you need

2052
01:53:46,240 --> 01:53:51,640
Speaker 5: dialysis or a transplant. So everything is reversible. But the

2053
01:53:51,760 --> 01:53:54,439
Speaker 5: key is not a one two three. You see, we

2054
01:53:54,560 --> 01:53:56,680
Speaker 5: all would like to pop an a zembic pill and

2055
01:53:56,760 --> 01:53:58,840
Speaker 5: not have to go to the gym. That's a bunch

2056
01:53:58,880 --> 01:54:02,080
Speaker 5: of bullcock of keep it real. So this is why

2057
01:54:02,160 --> 01:54:06,280
Speaker 5: I sold brother Malik the real facts. Get your diabetes,

2058
01:54:06,439 --> 01:54:10,160
Speaker 5: your blood pressure, you're smoking, your nutrition under control. It's

2059
01:54:10,280 --> 01:54:13,920
Speaker 5: real work to get a kidney back to how God

2060
01:54:14,040 --> 01:54:16,679
Speaker 5: gave it to you in the first place. If it's damaged,

2061
01:54:16,840 --> 01:54:19,240
Speaker 5: you're gonna have to get to work. You probably need

2062
01:54:19,360 --> 01:54:22,680
Speaker 5: to hire a nutritionist because it's worth it. You don't

2063
01:54:22,720 --> 01:54:27,120
Speaker 5: want stage five dialysis. You know, Mama Bernita has excellent

2064
01:54:27,160 --> 01:54:30,960
Speaker 5: health insurance because dialysis is you know what, twenty thousand

2065
01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:33,720
Speaker 5: dollars a week, So you know, if you don't have that,

2066
01:54:34,120 --> 01:54:38,160
Speaker 5: you won't live. You don't want to need something for

2067
01:54:38,280 --> 01:54:39,480
Speaker 5: your organ to function.

2068
01:54:41,640 --> 01:54:44,040
Speaker 1: Got you twenty eight after top aalystics some more cost.

2069
01:54:44,080 --> 01:54:45,960
Speaker 1: Let's go to Baltimore. Film is waiting for us on

2070
01:54:46,040 --> 01:54:49,640
Speaker 1: line four Grand Rising Filma. You're on with doctor doctor A.

2071
01:54:49,760 --> 01:54:50,800
Speaker 1: Your question for doctor A.

2072
01:54:51,880 --> 01:54:57,600
Speaker 13: Yeah, Grand Rising, Uh, doctor A, Well, I really don't

2073
01:54:57,600 --> 01:54:59,880
Speaker 13: know where to start but I'll start with this one.

2074
01:55:00,800 --> 01:55:04,440
Speaker 13: My trust in doctors is like gone. I'm really gone

2075
01:55:05,120 --> 01:55:07,240
Speaker 13: right now, I'm my own doctor. I mean, it's just

2076
01:55:07,360 --> 01:55:11,040
Speaker 13: like I'm not being facetious. I didn't have doctors to deal.

2077
01:55:10,960 --> 01:55:12,080
Speaker 16: Me death row.

2078
01:55:12,720 --> 01:55:16,040
Speaker 13: I still can't believe I'm still alive. So I'm gonna

2079
01:55:16,040 --> 01:55:20,280
Speaker 13: talk about internal bleeding very quick. Stephanie Sharp over there

2080
01:55:20,400 --> 01:55:26,120
Speaker 13: signed our hospital sent me to the hospital last August

2081
01:55:26,320 --> 01:55:29,240
Speaker 13: internal bleeding. I think it's been longer than last August.

2082
01:55:29,920 --> 01:55:33,840
Speaker 13: I don't count no more internal bleeding now long third short,

2083
01:55:33,840 --> 01:55:36,720
Speaker 13: I had to have the surgery done. So doctor along

2084
01:55:36,800 --> 01:55:40,360
Speaker 13: the way uh going into our different hospitals told me

2085
01:55:40,440 --> 01:55:42,600
Speaker 13: that she was the reason while I was in the

2086
01:55:42,680 --> 01:55:46,760
Speaker 13: hospital internal bleeding, that she gave me these medications too

2087
01:55:46,880 --> 01:55:50,040
Speaker 13: long and too wrong, high blood pressure medications. And he

2088
01:55:50,160 --> 01:55:52,520
Speaker 13: told me, listen, I swear to you, he exclaimed at me,

2089
01:55:52,560 --> 01:55:55,080
Speaker 13: a black doctor. He said to me, don't you take

2090
01:55:55,200 --> 01:55:59,600
Speaker 13: nothing that doctor Stephanie Sharp ever give you again? Now

2091
01:56:00,280 --> 01:56:02,280
Speaker 13: I have no reason to lie to you. I looked

2092
01:56:02,280 --> 01:56:04,680
Speaker 13: at him, I said, what did you say? He said,

2093
01:56:04,760 --> 01:56:08,360
Speaker 13: Stephanie Sharp, don't you take nothing? Does she ever give

2094
01:56:08,480 --> 01:56:11,800
Speaker 13: you to take again? She is the reason why you're here,

2095
01:56:12,800 --> 01:56:15,560
Speaker 13: why you got internal bleeding? And I said what So

2096
01:56:16,240 --> 01:56:18,360
Speaker 13: I took it from there, and as I said, I

2097
01:56:18,440 --> 01:56:19,920
Speaker 13: had to have surgery down. I was in and our

2098
01:56:20,040 --> 01:56:23,200
Speaker 13: hospitals all by myself. My parents are dead. I'm seventy

2099
01:56:23,280 --> 01:56:26,360
Speaker 13: one years old. Seventy one when my parents died. My

2100
01:56:26,440 --> 01:56:29,680
Speaker 13: family just weren't their own ways. You know, seriously. I've

2101
01:56:29,680 --> 01:56:32,640
Speaker 13: got a famous brother out there. You know he worked

2102
01:56:32,640 --> 01:56:37,160
Speaker 13: for ninety two qoter Marcel Thornton. I heard from that boy.

2103
01:56:37,360 --> 01:56:39,400
Speaker 1: I used to take it down as over right, Thelma,

2104
01:56:39,680 --> 01:56:41,560
Speaker 1: because we got some mother folks want to got questions

2105
01:56:41,600 --> 01:56:44,400
Speaker 1: for doctor. Can you just confine it to the medical

2106
01:56:44,520 --> 01:56:44,920
Speaker 1: shoe way.

2107
01:56:44,960 --> 01:56:46,880
Speaker 5: I get the point, Thelma. Let me let me take

2108
01:56:46,920 --> 01:56:49,640
Speaker 5: the mico, let me take the mic, because here's the thing.

2109
01:56:49,800 --> 01:56:52,760
Speaker 5: I love you and I appreciate you for calling. The

2110
01:56:52,880 --> 01:56:57,120
Speaker 5: bottom line, Thelma, at seventy one years of victory, is

2111
01:56:57,240 --> 01:57:01,160
Speaker 5: that you are living the life of so many voiceless

2112
01:57:01,520 --> 01:57:07,560
Speaker 5: black women, so many voiceless daughters, so many voiceless sisters, aunties. Okay,

2113
01:57:08,280 --> 01:57:12,360
Speaker 5: the fact is this, Yes, there are complications for medication.

2114
01:57:13,040 --> 01:57:16,800
Speaker 5: It's not to say the message listenership is not do

2115
01:57:17,000 --> 01:57:21,400
Speaker 5: not take medication to manage your blood pressure. The issue

2116
01:57:21,560 --> 01:57:24,920
Speaker 5: is this, You've got to vet your doctors. Nobody gets

2117
01:57:24,960 --> 01:57:28,720
Speaker 5: a pass, not a police officer, not a judge, not

2118
01:57:28,840 --> 01:57:32,800
Speaker 5: a teacher, not a nurse, and not a doctor. Everybody

2119
01:57:33,000 --> 01:57:38,400
Speaker 5: gets vetted, okay, because irresponsible and unethical. Is irresponsible and unethical,

2120
01:57:38,680 --> 01:57:42,960
Speaker 5: and many black and brown people are getting half ass care.

2121
01:57:43,520 --> 01:57:46,640
Speaker 5: So we need to address the fact that, yes, Thelma,

2122
01:57:47,160 --> 01:57:50,040
Speaker 5: something happened to you. It was a complication, and you're

2123
01:57:50,080 --> 01:57:54,040
Speaker 5: not the only sister in America with a complication. There

2124
01:57:54,080 --> 01:57:58,080
Speaker 5: are thousands, tens of thousands. So the key in your

2125
01:57:58,200 --> 01:58:01,480
Speaker 5: voice is this, not only is it tragic that there's

2126
01:58:01,520 --> 01:58:05,200
Speaker 5: no family unity, and every black family experiences that. In

2127
01:58:05,320 --> 01:58:08,200
Speaker 5: other words, there's certain people that are the anchors of

2128
01:58:08,320 --> 01:58:11,760
Speaker 5: our family and when they die, the family goes amok.

2129
01:58:12,240 --> 01:58:15,480
Speaker 5: And yes, that's a reality. The second truth is if

2130
01:58:15,520 --> 01:58:18,919
Speaker 5: you don't vet your doctors, anything can happen to anyone,

2131
01:58:19,440 --> 01:58:22,680
Speaker 5: all right. There are tons of examples of medical horrors.

2132
01:58:23,080 --> 01:58:26,720
Speaker 5: Bleeding internally can kill you. And so your life was saved,

2133
01:58:26,880 --> 01:58:31,080
Speaker 5: your life was fared. However, the doctor was not acting

2134
01:58:31,240 --> 01:58:39,600
Speaker 5: ethically and responsibly. We've got to vet our doctors people. Yeah, mine,

2135
01:58:39,680 --> 01:58:42,400
Speaker 5: that's the bottom line, Thelma, you know, so the details

2136
01:58:42,520 --> 01:58:46,360
Speaker 5: as to what caused internal bleeding? What was the medication?

2137
01:58:46,880 --> 01:58:49,440
Speaker 5: Were you on the wrong dose? That's a matter of

2138
01:58:49,560 --> 01:58:53,840
Speaker 5: being a responsible doctor, just like a responsible parent, right

2139
01:58:54,240 --> 01:58:58,520
Speaker 5: you make sure that your child is fed, clothed, warm,

2140
01:58:59,000 --> 01:59:03,000
Speaker 5: sleeps at night, their homework. A responsible doctor is going

2141
01:59:03,080 --> 01:59:07,280
Speaker 5: to monitor the medication, the dough. Yes, the dose depends

2142
01:59:07,320 --> 01:59:10,680
Speaker 5: on the individual. Different do Everybody don't get the same dose.

2143
01:59:12,000 --> 01:59:15,560
Speaker 5: Everybody is not on the same drug. Different medications work

2144
01:59:15,600 --> 01:59:18,520
Speaker 5: for different people. So we don't have time in this

2145
01:59:18,680 --> 01:59:24,960
Speaker 5: show to go into an hour for each caller. You

2146
01:59:25,080 --> 01:59:31,480
Speaker 5: weren't managed. Go ahead, go ahead, Thelma, Helma, were you

2147
01:59:31,560 --> 01:59:32,760
Speaker 5: saying the name of the medication?

2148
01:59:33,960 --> 01:59:36,720
Speaker 1: I think she hung up, But what she said though,

2149
01:59:36,720 --> 01:59:39,400
Speaker 1: it was important, though, doctor A, You've got to vet

2150
01:59:39,520 --> 01:59:42,640
Speaker 1: your doctor. You know. One of the issues too when people,

2151
01:59:42,720 --> 01:59:45,680
Speaker 1: our people go to doctors. Whatever the doctor says, we

2152
01:59:45,840 --> 01:59:48,080
Speaker 1: accept it. And this is why you're here this morning.

2153
01:59:48,120 --> 01:59:50,200
Speaker 1: You want to get a second opinion. You do that

2154
01:59:50,400 --> 01:59:52,400
Speaker 1: if you got a problem with your car or your computer.

2155
01:59:52,720 --> 01:59:54,360
Speaker 1: You don't just take the further you go all that.

2156
01:59:54,480 --> 01:59:56,520
Speaker 1: Let me just see what somebody else says. But most

2157
01:59:56,560 --> 01:59:58,840
Speaker 1: of the times we the press in the white suit.

2179
02:01:09,080 --> 02:01:11,920
Speaker 5: God bless you, God blessed you. We don't all know

2180
02:01:12,040 --> 02:01:14,520
Speaker 5: that we're going to get the journey into our seventies.

2181
02:01:15,880 --> 02:01:23,840
Speaker 5: Cataracts are a development where your vision can become blurry, cloudy,

2182
02:01:24,200 --> 02:01:28,760
Speaker 5: you can have dim vision, your sensitivity to light is

2183
02:01:28,880 --> 02:01:32,280
Speaker 5: thrown off. It's difficult for you to see at night.

2184
02:01:33,120 --> 02:01:38,720
Speaker 5: So really, you know who has a cataract. Surgery is

2185
02:01:39,000 --> 02:01:43,720
Speaker 5: very largely dependent upon the symptoms that you're having. So

2186
02:01:43,920 --> 02:01:49,680
Speaker 5: some common signs include you see halos around lights, they're

2187
02:01:49,840 --> 02:01:53,919
Speaker 5: faded or yellowed color, you don't see color properly anymore,

2188
02:01:55,080 --> 02:01:58,400
Speaker 5: frequent needing brighter light in order for you to read.

2189
02:01:59,520 --> 02:02:03,280
Speaker 5: These are some of the challenges to your vision.

2190
02:02:03,160 --> 02:02:04,280
Speaker 13: That you really can have.

2191
02:02:05,840 --> 02:02:08,400
Speaker 5: Some of the other things that I need you to

2192
02:02:08,480 --> 02:02:13,200
Speaker 5: be mindful of, just in terms of understanding the cataract

2193
02:02:13,400 --> 02:02:17,720
Speaker 5: and the effects that it's causing. Night vision becomes difficult,

2194
02:02:18,320 --> 02:02:22,040
Speaker 5: so driving at night you have reduced light sensitivity. That

2195
02:02:22,440 --> 02:02:26,120
Speaker 5: car accident is real. Okay, and hold that.

2196
02:02:26,160 --> 02:02:27,640
Speaker 1: Thought right there. We got to step aside for a

2197
02:02:27,680 --> 02:02:30,120
Speaker 1: few moments and stay with us Marie. And when you

2198
02:02:30,200 --> 02:02:32,800
Speaker 1: finished helping Marie, and tell us about the floaters as well,

2199
02:02:32,840 --> 02:02:35,840
Speaker 1: because that's another problem that people have with their eyesight. Family,

2200
02:02:35,880 --> 02:02:37,760
Speaker 1: you two can get in on this conversation. You got

2201
02:02:37,840 --> 02:02:40,840
Speaker 1: a health challenge, or you know somebody who does, or

2202
02:02:40,920 --> 02:02:42,880
Speaker 1: you don't have to use your real name in real city,

2203
02:02:42,960 --> 02:02:45,880
Speaker 1: but take advantage of doctor A. Doctor as medical doctors,

2204
02:02:45,960 --> 02:02:48,640

Speaker 1: natural pathic doctor. She can tell your holistic way to

2221
02:03:30,680 --> 02:03:33,360
Speaker 1: keep that radio locked in tight on ten ten WLB.

2222
02:03:33,680 --> 02:03:36,680
Speaker 1: If you're in the DMV era, we're on fourteen fifty WOL.

2223
02:03:36,880 --> 02:03:38,920
Speaker 1: Before we left the break, we're speaking with Marie from

2224
02:03:38,920 --> 02:03:41,400
Speaker 1: a college park in Maryland and doctor A, I'll let

2225
02:03:41,400 --> 02:03:44,040
Speaker 1: you finish, is discussing she had a cocloma problem.

2226
02:03:45,160 --> 02:03:48,280
Speaker 5: I think that's what it was, no cataract. So now

2227
02:03:48,480 --> 02:03:53,200
Speaker 5: the cataract I already explained to our listenership what it is,

2228
02:03:54,000 --> 02:03:58,360
Speaker 5: and that's important to understand. Definition. Now, how do we

2229
02:03:58,920 --> 02:04:03,440
Speaker 5: holistically if we want to avoid surgery impact the cataract,

2230
02:04:04,080 --> 02:04:07,720
Speaker 5: you can actually slow the progression of the cataract and

2231
02:04:07,920 --> 02:04:13,320
Speaker 5: support the health of the eye through what same basic principles, nutrition,

2232
02:04:14,160 --> 02:04:20,880
Speaker 5: lifestyle changes in the third one because it's ocular UV protection. However,

2233
02:04:21,480 --> 02:04:25,640
Speaker 5: surgery is the only cure. So the problem is this, Carl,

2234
02:04:26,040 --> 02:04:31,560
Speaker 5: we have a large listenership that many have had traumatizing

2235
02:04:31,760 --> 02:04:37,000
Speaker 5: experiences with the white coat. It's a turnoff, okay, anything traumatizing.

2236
02:04:37,400 --> 02:04:40,920
Speaker 5: Being robbed at gunpoint is traumatizing. You may never walk

2237
02:04:41,000 --> 02:04:45,280
Speaker 5: that block again. So the same occurs with our impact

2238
02:04:45,440 --> 02:04:50,360
Speaker 5: with the healthcare system. Nonetheless, we've got to understand how

2239
02:04:50,400 --> 02:04:53,480
Speaker 5: to take our health into our hands, how to better

2240
02:04:53,640 --> 02:04:58,600
Speaker 5: understand our human body. Some of us understand vehicles and

2241
02:04:58,760 --> 02:05:02,120
Speaker 5: cars better than our O O human body. God gave

2242
02:05:02,200 --> 02:05:06,000
Speaker 5: you this body. Learn it, Okay, So we need to

2243
02:05:06,160 --> 02:05:10,880
Speaker 5: understand prevention of disease, Carl, because the time to be

2244
02:05:11,520 --> 02:05:15,440
Speaker 5: holistic is to prevent the thing, not after the terrible

2245
02:05:15,520 --> 02:05:18,640
Speaker 5: thing has happened. In other words, when it comes to cataract,

2246
02:05:18,840 --> 02:05:23,440
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be straight up. I recommend the surgery. Walking around,

2247
02:05:23,640 --> 02:05:27,600
Speaker 5: can't see anything, flutters in your eyes, can't see at night,

2248
02:05:27,720 --> 02:05:30,760
Speaker 5: You're gonna slam your car into something and potentially die.

2249
02:05:31,280 --> 02:05:34,200
Speaker 5: It is not worth the consequence. The things that can

2250
02:05:34,280 --> 02:05:39,440
Speaker 5: prevent the cataract antioxidants, Vitamin C five hundred to one

2251
02:05:39,440 --> 02:05:45,760
Speaker 5: thousand milligrams a day, Vitamin E, carrictenoids, focus on loutine

2252
02:05:46,480 --> 02:05:52,800
Speaker 5: and the affying. These are both nutrients. They're in spinach, kale, swiss,

2253
02:05:52,960 --> 02:05:57,040
Speaker 5: charred egg yolk. Some of your dietary choices. Eat a

2254
02:05:57,200 --> 02:06:03,440
Speaker 5: colorful plate. So pepper said, berries have red color, purple color,

2255
02:06:03,600 --> 02:06:08,200
Speaker 5: blue color, all kinds of orange color. Get those things

2256
02:06:08,320 --> 02:06:11,800
Speaker 5: on your plate. Eat whole grains. I always talk about

2257
02:06:11,840 --> 02:06:16,120
Speaker 5: Omega three fatty acids in terms of UV protection. Wear

2258
02:06:16,280 --> 02:06:21,360
Speaker 5: sunglasses because if you don't, you are risking cataract. Always again,

2259
02:06:21,440 --> 02:06:25,560
Speaker 5: avoids smoking. If you have a chronic health condition, manage it.

2260
02:06:26,240 --> 02:06:30,400
Speaker 5: Your eyestrain can be measured when you go to an ophthalmologis.

2261
02:06:31,240 --> 02:06:35,520
Speaker 5: So the twenty twenty twenty rule. Every twenty minutes look

2262
02:06:35,560 --> 02:06:39,000
Speaker 5: at something twenty feet away for twenty seconds. That's a

2263
02:06:39,080 --> 02:06:43,240
Speaker 5: great rule for your listenership that reduces your eyestrain. And

2264
02:06:43,320 --> 02:06:46,720
Speaker 5: as a matter of fact, what is toxic screen time

2265
02:06:46,800 --> 02:06:50,880
Speaker 5: all day? Stop doing it? Yeah, stop doing it. So

2266
02:06:51,160 --> 02:06:54,360
Speaker 5: that those are my recommendations holistic things you can do

2267
02:06:55,080 --> 02:07:01,600
Speaker 5: as well as preventive things for the entire listenership. Thank you, Tonally,

2268
02:07:02,400 --> 02:07:05,240
Speaker 5: I've been on a super calling and representing College Park.

02:07:33,200 --> 02:07:34,560
Speaker 7: In d C, and uh.

2279
02:07:36,080 --> 02:07:41,680
Speaker 18: I noticed that marijuana and cannabis resellers have just popped

2280
02:07:41,760 --> 02:07:42,400
Speaker 18: up everywhere.

2281
02:07:43,400 --> 02:07:44,560
Speaker 4: And I know a lot of.

2282
02:07:44,600 --> 02:07:51,200
Speaker 18: Folks who smoke marijuana, cannabis, we you know, for different reasons,

2283
02:07:51,920 --> 02:07:54,640
Speaker 18: and I wanted to know, you know, we're sold on

2284
02:07:54,800 --> 02:07:56,760
Speaker 18: all the like the upside of it, but is there

2285
02:07:56,800 --> 02:08:01,640
Speaker 18: a downside smoking marijuana? And we in terms of ouh,

2286
02:08:01,840 --> 02:08:02,280
Speaker 18: in terms of.

2287
02:08:02,280 --> 02:08:02,959
Speaker 11: Our health.

2288
02:08:08,080 --> 02:08:13,440
Speaker 5: Number one, number one falling there are.

2289
02:08:15,480 --> 02:08:16,280
Speaker 3: Getting the feedback.

2290
02:08:18,600 --> 02:08:23,160
Speaker 5: So no, there are many, many, many reasons that our

2291
02:08:23,360 --> 02:08:29,920
Speaker 5: listenership need to be critically aware about marijuana legislation. Uh,

2292
02:08:30,160 --> 02:08:34,960
Speaker 5: the advantages, the disadvantages of use, et cetera. That's a

2293
02:08:35,120 --> 02:08:40,320
Speaker 5: very poignant question. So firstly, let me say for the listenership, Uh,

2294
02:08:40,400 --> 02:08:45,280
Speaker 5: there're marijuana laws across this country, so that now there

2295
02:08:45,480 --> 02:08:51,600
Speaker 5: is a legislation for legal uh medical marijuana. So medical

2296
02:08:51,680 --> 02:08:56,480
Speaker 5: marijuana is something that now is being regulated. Okay, so

2297
02:08:56,720 --> 02:09:00,160
Speaker 5: they know exactly what the contents and exactly what the

2298
02:09:00,280 --> 02:09:06,800
Speaker 5: strength is. Street drugs, it's the same as street anything. Okay.

2299
02:09:07,000 --> 02:09:11,440
Speaker 5: If you go to Barbados and you are buying from

2300
02:09:12,560 --> 02:09:17,320
Speaker 5: somebody on the street, a street vendor, sugarcane, it may

2301
02:09:17,400 --> 02:09:21,120
Speaker 5: be sugar, it may not. Well, the same is true

2302
02:09:21,240 --> 02:09:25,000
Speaker 5: for marijuana. What's on the street you don't know what's

2303
02:09:25,080 --> 02:09:28,640
Speaker 5: in there, and you don't know how that dealer tried

2304
02:09:28,680 --> 02:09:32,720
Speaker 5: to cut the product to make more money. Did they

2305
02:09:32,800 --> 02:09:35,800
Speaker 5: put a reagano in it? Did they put something potentially

2306
02:09:35,920 --> 02:09:40,000
Speaker 5: proxic in it? Sentinil, as we know, is being used

2307
02:09:40,040 --> 02:09:45,160
Speaker 5: to lace everything. So again, from the salesman standpoint, are

2308
02:09:45,240 --> 02:09:49,120
Speaker 5: you selling something, it's the lacing with sentinil in order

2309
02:09:49,200 --> 02:09:54,400
Speaker 5: to increase the addiction rate. Addiction leads to repeat customers.

2310
02:09:55,400 --> 02:10:01,560
Speaker 5: But dealing specifically with marijuana, really do need to be

2311
02:10:01,800 --> 02:10:05,440
Speaker 5: intelligent about what are the dangers of marijuana?

2312
02:10:05,640 --> 02:10:05,800
Speaker 12: You know?

2313
02:10:05,920 --> 02:10:10,200
Speaker 5: Again, now, our government has reason to encourage the medical

2314
02:10:10,280 --> 02:10:15,440
Speaker 5: marijuana youth because the state makes a profit. But marijuana

2315
02:10:15,600 --> 02:10:20,080
Speaker 5: use can cause impairment of your memory, It can cause

2316
02:10:20,360 --> 02:10:26,840
Speaker 5: cognitive functioning impairment. It can potentially cause permanent loss of

2317
02:10:27,000 --> 02:10:33,480
Speaker 5: IQ points, especially an adolescent. So the first thing, Philip

2318
02:10:34,000 --> 02:10:40,520
Speaker 5: is it's age sensitive, just like alcohols. No, children should

2319
02:10:40,680 --> 02:10:45,760
Speaker 5: not be smoking marijuana. Did not be encouraged to smoke marijuana.

2320
02:10:46,520 --> 02:10:50,920
Speaker 5: If there's a medical indication for a youth such as

2321
02:10:50,960 --> 02:10:56,120
Speaker 5: these are disorder which is definitely positively impacted by the

2322
02:10:56,240 --> 02:10:59,960
Speaker 5: use of marijuana, then under a doctor's supervision, a chime

2323
02:11:00,040 --> 02:11:04,240
Speaker 5: else can use medical marijuana, especially as an alternative to

2324
02:11:04,440 --> 02:11:09,960
Speaker 5: something with greater side effects or addiction risk. However, brain

2325
02:11:10,200 --> 02:11:14,800
Speaker 5: and health development is critical. When we're under twenty one.

2326
02:11:15,320 --> 02:11:18,200
Speaker 5: The first five years of life, the brain grows three

2327
02:11:18,320 --> 02:11:21,320
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty five percent, So we don't want to

2328
02:11:21,480 --> 02:11:27,000
Speaker 5: impair any of that with substances, not with alcohol, not

2329
02:11:27,160 --> 02:11:31,720
Speaker 5: even Nike will as parents know, even over the counter drugs.

2330
02:11:32,080 --> 02:11:34,240
Speaker 5: You can't just buy something over the counter and give

2331
02:11:34,240 --> 02:11:39,160
Speaker 5: it to a kid. There are specific dosages and recommendations

2332
02:11:39,480 --> 02:11:43,080
Speaker 5: for our pediatric populations. So that's the first and most

2333
02:11:43,120 --> 02:11:47,760
Speaker 5: important thing. The second most important thing is it depends

2334
02:11:47,880 --> 02:11:55,920
Speaker 5: on that individual, their psychological makeup. It depends on their groundedness,

2335
02:11:56,480 --> 02:12:06,120
Speaker 5: their censoredness, because anything that alters your perception of reality, marijuana, LSD, mushrooms,

2336
02:12:06,760 --> 02:12:09,360
Speaker 5: if you're not grounded with a sense of reality in

2337
02:12:09,400 --> 02:12:12,240
Speaker 5: the first place, you could go straight into a panic attack.

2338
02:12:12,920 --> 02:12:16,320
Speaker 5: So there are definitely people who will use marijuana or

2339
02:12:16,440 --> 02:12:18,440
Speaker 5: buy it on the streets, so who knows what all

2340
02:12:18,640 --> 02:12:23,320
Speaker 5: is this component of the substance, and they have panic attacks,

2341
02:12:23,600 --> 02:12:28,000
Speaker 5: they have anxiety, They bring out a mental health issue

2342
02:12:28,480 --> 02:12:32,600
Speaker 5: that otherwise was not present. You can bring out depression

2343
02:12:33,120 --> 02:12:37,720
Speaker 5: or suicidal ideation. The smoking in and of itself. If

2344
02:12:37,760 --> 02:12:42,080
Speaker 5: you're taking in marijuana in a smoking capacity, then you

2345
02:12:42,160 --> 02:12:46,040
Speaker 5: can cause lung damage. You can cause a chronic bronchitis.

2346
02:12:46,720 --> 02:12:50,280
Speaker 5: You can increase your blood pressure or increase your heart

2347
02:12:50,400 --> 02:12:55,120
Speaker 5: rate in a dangerous way. Your coordination can be impacted.

2348
02:12:55,520 --> 02:12:58,800
Speaker 5: I can guarantee you Simone Valves does not use marijuana.

2349
02:12:59,280 --> 02:13:02,440
Speaker 5: There's no way she could be an Olympic gymnast. Your

2350
02:13:02,520 --> 02:13:06,400
Speaker 5: reaction time is affected, so the risk for a motor

2351
02:13:06,480 --> 02:13:09,920
Speaker 5: vehicle accident. In other words, you should not be behind

2352
02:13:10,000 --> 02:13:13,600
Speaker 5: the wheel, you should not be operating machinery. So those

2353
02:13:13,720 --> 02:13:16,640
Speaker 5: are some of the concerns. When it comes to pregnancy,

2354
02:13:17,240 --> 02:13:21,880
Speaker 5: there's a link to fetal growth, premature birth, and long

2355
02:13:22,000 --> 02:13:26,360
Speaker 5: term cognitive issues. So again, when it comes to developmental years,

2356
02:13:26,880 --> 02:13:30,440
Speaker 5: we need to be hypersensitive to that age group. And

2357
02:13:30,520 --> 02:13:33,400
Speaker 5: when it comes to our adult population, we need to

2358
02:13:33,600 --> 02:13:37,360
Speaker 5: use discernment. Philip, thank you so much for putting this

2359
02:13:37,440 --> 02:13:40,520
Speaker 5: critical issue on the table. I advise all of the

2360
02:13:40,640 --> 02:13:46,480
Speaker 5: listenership to be mindful and knowledgeable about marijuana legislation across

2361
02:13:46,520 --> 02:13:50,160
Speaker 5: this country. Different states have different laws. Better for you

2362
02:13:50,280 --> 02:13:53,800
Speaker 5: to know ahead of the games than find out in

2363
02:13:53,920 --> 02:13:54,880
Speaker 5: some circumstance.

2364
02:13:56,480 --> 02:13:58,720
Speaker 1: And let me add this, I'm Philip, just hung up,

2365
02:13:59,240 --> 02:14:01,879
Speaker 1: doctor A. What about people who were who were addicted

2366
02:14:01,920 --> 02:14:05,120
Speaker 1: to marijuana? Is there any hell for those folks?

2367
02:14:07,000 --> 02:14:11,800
Speaker 5: Yes? So they need rehab the same as any other addiction. Thankfully,

2368
02:14:12,360 --> 02:14:16,120
Speaker 5: one thing this country does not lack our centers for

2369
02:14:16,840 --> 02:14:24,520
Speaker 5: addressing addiction and rehabilitation. You are almost impossible to actually

2370
02:14:24,640 --> 02:14:29,960
Speaker 5: be addicted to marijuana in a physiological way. Thankfully. You're

2371
02:14:30,280 --> 02:14:35,520
Speaker 5: much more likely to become addicted to nicotine to become

2372
02:14:35,560 --> 02:14:40,920
Speaker 5: addicted to alcohol. So most people who indulge in marijuana,

2373
02:14:41,040 --> 02:14:44,120
Speaker 5: whether it's the medical marijuana or something that they bought

2374
02:14:44,240 --> 02:14:47,440
Speaker 5: on the street, are not actually going to experience a

2375
02:14:47,600 --> 02:14:52,400
Speaker 5: physiological addiction. Now psychological, Carl, that's a whole different thing, right.

2376
02:14:52,760 --> 02:14:56,400
Speaker 5: We could be psychologically addicted to a number of things,

2377
02:14:57,000 --> 02:15:02,560
Speaker 5: including the television, including social media. Yeah, that engages discipline.

2378
02:15:02,840 --> 02:15:04,960
Speaker 5: And that is why I said from the very beginning,

2379
02:15:05,400 --> 02:15:10,440
Speaker 5: the composition of a human being psychologically and mentally has

2380
02:15:10,520 --> 02:15:14,480
Speaker 5: a lot to do with how the risk of marijuana

2381
02:15:14,760 --> 02:15:19,480
Speaker 5: may manifest in that individual's life. Someone who is off

2382
02:15:19,520 --> 02:15:22,880
Speaker 5: the center to begin with could be knocked right off

2383
02:15:22,920 --> 02:15:26,680
Speaker 5: the plate, so very very excellent points that we're bringing

2384
02:15:26,760 --> 02:15:30,560
Speaker 5: up this morning. Addiction needs to be addressed professionally.

2385
02:15:32,200 --> 02:15:34,320
Speaker 1: Got you seven away from the top of that. Robinson,

2386
02:15:34,400 --> 02:15:37,440
Speaker 1: Baltimore City. He's next day's online three grand rising, Robert,

2387
02:15:37,520 --> 02:15:38,680
Speaker 1: your question for doctor a.

2388
02:15:40,000 --> 02:15:45,160
Speaker 8: Grand rising everyone. I'm sixty seventy years old, and i

2389
02:15:45,360 --> 02:15:49,320
Speaker 8: got a question about bubbles in your urn when you

2390
02:15:49,520 --> 02:15:50,720
Speaker 8: when you go to bathroom?

2391
02:15:51,080 --> 02:15:55,800
Speaker 5: Uh, you said, what what in your urin? I didn't

2392
02:15:55,840 --> 02:15:59,920
Speaker 5: hear the word what did bubbles bubble?

2393
02:16:01,600 --> 02:16:05,040
Speaker 8: Yes, it's a lot of stuff on on on the

2394
02:16:05,160 --> 02:16:09,400
Speaker 8: internet and all about uh, your kidneys. It's got something

2395
02:16:09,400 --> 02:16:10,400
Speaker 8: to do with your kidneys.

2396
02:16:10,720 --> 02:16:10,840
Speaker 5: Uh.

2397
02:16:11,440 --> 02:16:12,880
Speaker 15: If the bubbles are.

2398
02:16:12,920 --> 02:16:18,640
Speaker 8: Dump uh yellow, you got a problem? Well with me myself.

2399
02:16:18,840 --> 02:16:23,640
Speaker 8: Minds are clear and it's and I'm not constantly uh

2400
02:16:24,760 --> 02:16:27,680
Speaker 8: peeing out bubbles like so, but so can you tell

2401
02:16:27,720 --> 02:16:28,240
Speaker 8: me about that?

2402
02:16:32,520 --> 02:16:32,880
Speaker 3: All right?

2403
02:16:34,080 --> 02:16:38,240
Speaker 5: Thank you, Robert, Thank you, Robert number one, Thank you

2404
02:16:38,520 --> 02:16:42,600
Speaker 5: so very much for calling in this morning. Bubbles in

2405
02:16:42,760 --> 02:16:45,440
Speaker 5: the urine. Even though Robert, you're giving us your age,

2406
02:16:45,560 --> 02:16:49,720
Speaker 5: that's a super super general symptom. So for the listenership

2407
02:16:49,800 --> 02:16:55,640
Speaker 5: to understand, that's very very broad and so the answer

2408
02:16:55,800 --> 02:16:59,440
Speaker 5: is going to be very very broad. There's so many

2409
02:16:59,800 --> 02:17:03,600
Speaker 5: things that that can really mean. The first thing, Robert,

2410
02:17:03,760 --> 02:17:08,040
Speaker 5: I recommend you take that sample of urine to a

2411
02:17:08,200 --> 02:17:12,960
Speaker 5: healthcare facility and let it be tested. Okay, we all

2412
02:17:13,440 --> 02:17:15,760
Speaker 5: know how to give a urine sample, whether you go

2413
02:17:16,040 --> 02:17:21,000
Speaker 5: to the clinic, they then take your urine in a cup,

2414
02:17:21,560 --> 02:17:24,360
Speaker 5: they send that to a laboratory. Then we can be

2415
02:17:24,560 --> 02:17:27,640
Speaker 5: very clear and not guessing about what the bubbles mean,

2416
02:17:27,840 --> 02:17:32,160
Speaker 5: because it really can mean so many different things. Most

2417
02:17:32,320 --> 02:17:37,160
Speaker 5: commonly it is harmless caused by something like urinating too fast,

2418
02:17:37,680 --> 02:17:42,080
Speaker 5: being dehydrated, or actually the cleaning products of the toilet.

2419
02:17:42,760 --> 02:17:47,520
Speaker 5: So usually that's a temporary thing and it's not anything

2420
02:17:47,640 --> 02:17:52,680
Speaker 5: that's serious. However, Robert, when it's persistent, when it's a

2421
02:17:52,920 --> 02:17:57,360
Speaker 5: thick type of bubbles, when there's a consistent foam, not

2422
02:17:57,560 --> 02:18:01,280
Speaker 5: just bubbles, but foam coming with your urine, then that

2423
02:18:01,400 --> 02:18:04,880
Speaker 5: can really indicate you got protein in your urine. We

2424
02:18:05,040 --> 02:18:07,800
Speaker 5: talked at the start of the show about kidney damage

2425
02:18:08,560 --> 02:18:12,680
Speaker 5: five stages. So unless you send your urine for testing,

2426
02:18:13,280 --> 02:18:16,400
Speaker 5: you don't know if you have a urinary infection. You

2427
02:18:16,480 --> 02:18:19,240
Speaker 5: don't know if you have a bladder infection. You don't

2428
02:18:19,280 --> 02:18:21,800
Speaker 5: know if you have kidney disease, you don't know. If

2429
02:18:21,840 --> 02:18:25,800
Speaker 5: you're diabetic, you don't know any of those things. If

2430
02:18:26,120 --> 02:18:30,120
Speaker 5: the bubbles are thick and soapy, or they're persistent, you

2431
02:18:30,240 --> 02:18:31,199
Speaker 5: got to see a doctor.

2432
02:18:32,120 --> 02:18:33,240
Speaker 17: If you notice.

2433
02:18:32,959 --> 02:18:36,880
Speaker 5: Swelling in your hands, your feet, your face, your stomach,

2434
02:18:38,000 --> 02:18:40,600
Speaker 5: and that's going along with the bubbly urine, you need

2435
02:18:40,720 --> 02:18:45,120
Speaker 5: to see a doctor. If your urine is dark colored, bloody,

2436
02:18:45,520 --> 02:18:49,440
Speaker 5: or it's cloudy, those are red flags to see a doctor.

2437
02:18:50,240 --> 02:18:55,000
Speaker 5: Burning when you pee means potentially a bladder infection. So

2438
02:18:55,400 --> 02:18:59,440
Speaker 5: when we have protein in our urine, it's extremely concerning

2439
02:19:00,000 --> 02:19:03,360
Speaker 5: because when you leak protein into your urine, that's an

2440
02:19:03,480 --> 02:19:09,600
Speaker 5: indicator for kidney damage dehydration. Urine can look foamier than

2441
02:19:09,720 --> 02:19:15,680
Speaker 5: normal when we peek quickly rapid urination, the force of

2442
02:19:15,760 --> 02:19:20,320
Speaker 5: the urine stream can trap air and create the bubbles,

2443
02:19:20,440 --> 02:19:24,040
Speaker 5: and that's a false alarm. When you have a bladder infection,

2444
02:19:24,760 --> 02:19:28,520
Speaker 5: you can have bacteria that are making gases causing the bubbles.

2445
02:19:29,280 --> 02:19:32,800
Speaker 5: If you're diabetic or you have high blood pressure damaging

2446
02:19:32,879 --> 02:19:36,120
Speaker 5: your kidneys over time and you're leaking urine, that's a

2447
02:19:36,240 --> 02:19:41,199
Speaker 5: serious cause. For some men, your semen actually goes into

2448
02:19:41,240 --> 02:19:44,200
Speaker 5: your bladder instead of coming out your penis. Now in

2449
02:19:44,320 --> 02:19:48,800
Speaker 5: that case, that's another big problem. That's called retrograde ejaculation.

2450
02:19:49,080 --> 02:19:53,680
Speaker 5: You're ejaculating into your bladder. So then that's a cause

2451
02:19:53,760 --> 02:19:58,920
Speaker 5: for foamy urine. You need to see a doctor, all right.

2452
02:20:00,200 --> 02:20:01,760
Speaker 1: For your call, we got to step aside so our

Speaker 1: And the doctor tells you something you're not comfortable with

2475
02:20:58,200 --> 02:21:00,360
Speaker 1: or you know, you always get another opinion for another

2476
02:21:00,440 --> 02:21:03,400

02:21:29,440 --> 02:21:32,880

02:21:33,000 --> 02:21:34,600
Speaker 10: the second opinion. I don't know you're coming up this

2487
02:21:41,080 --> 02:21:46,920
Speaker 10: Alzheimer's in dementia and I wanted, I was gonna wanted

2488
02:21:46,959 --> 02:21:49,080
Speaker 10: to ask you, is there a way that I can

2489
02:21:49,280 --> 02:21:51,000
Speaker 10: slow down the question of it.

2490
02:21:54,959 --> 02:21:57,760
Speaker 5: Well, firstly, let me give you all of my love

2491
02:21:57,840 --> 02:22:02,800
Speaker 5: and all of my support. The strongest, most powerful forces

2492
02:22:03,680 --> 02:22:08,280
Speaker 5: that are keeping this show on the air decade after decade,

2493
02:22:08,440 --> 02:22:12,440
Speaker 5: generation after generation is the fact that it's syndicated across

2494
02:22:12,520 --> 02:22:15,680
Speaker 5: the country and you're waking up in California. You love

2495
02:22:15,800 --> 02:22:18,640
Speaker 5: Carl Nelson, you love doctor A. I want to give

2496
02:22:18,720 --> 02:22:21,920
Speaker 5: that love back to you tenfold. Okay. I want to

2497
02:22:22,040 --> 02:22:25,800
Speaker 5: let you know you're going to have victory over Alzheimer's.

2498
02:22:26,160 --> 02:22:28,920
Speaker 5: I want to let you know you have victory right

2499
02:22:28,959 --> 02:22:32,560
Speaker 5: at this moment. So there are many different stages to

2500
02:22:32,680 --> 02:22:35,840
Speaker 5: memory loss, but one of the things is if we

2501
02:22:36,000 --> 02:22:38,520
Speaker 5: ever want to be proactive about a matter, it is

2502
02:22:38,640 --> 02:22:44,080
Speaker 5: about this matter right here. Okay. Alzheimer's is a progressive

2503
02:22:44,360 --> 02:22:50,280
Speaker 5: loss of memory, difficulty in planning or completing familiar tasks,

2504
02:22:50,840 --> 02:22:55,280
Speaker 5: confusion about what time or what place. There can be

2505
02:22:55,480 --> 02:22:59,640
Speaker 5: language problems. A lot of times the early signs get missed,

2506
02:23:00,320 --> 02:23:03,680
Speaker 5: getting swept under the table. So I'm so proud of you,

2507
02:23:04,440 --> 02:23:07,160
Speaker 5: not just for waking up and listening to Carl early

2508
02:23:07,280 --> 02:23:11,360
Speaker 5: in the morning in California, but also for getting into

2509
02:23:11,480 --> 02:23:16,800
Speaker 5: your healthcare provider getting concrete knowledge, because knowledge is power.

2510
02:23:16,959 --> 02:23:19,840
Speaker 5: My brother, You're going to take all the knowledge you've

2511
02:23:19,879 --> 02:23:24,120
Speaker 5: been given, because so many of our black, brown brothers

2512
02:23:24,200 --> 02:23:28,000
Speaker 5: and sisters don't even know they have this condition, and

2513
02:23:28,080 --> 02:23:31,440
Speaker 5: they're fading away right in front of our faith. Thank

2514
02:23:31,520 --> 02:23:35,240
Speaker 5: you God that you have power in the tool given

2515
02:23:35,360 --> 02:23:38,600
Speaker 5: to you so that you can be proactive. There's an

2516
02:23:38,680 --> 02:23:44,240
Speaker 5: Alzheimer's Association, one of the most powerful organizations in this country.

2517
02:23:44,760 --> 02:23:47,039
Speaker 5: If ever there was a time. You know, we started

2518
02:23:47,080 --> 02:23:50,959
Speaker 5: the show talking about the clown that led us into war. That's,

2519
02:23:51,240 --> 02:23:53,000
Speaker 5: you know, not a reason to be proud to be

2520
02:23:53,040 --> 02:23:56,320
Speaker 5: American at all, but one of the reasons to be proud.

2521
02:23:56,800 --> 02:24:00,400
Speaker 5: This country, thanks to many ancestors now dead and gone,

2522
02:24:00,840 --> 02:24:04,920
Speaker 5: has fought for so many rights. American with Disabilities Act

2523
02:24:05,240 --> 02:24:08,520
Speaker 5: one of the most powerful things to level the playing field.

2524
02:24:09,000 --> 02:24:13,360
Speaker 5: And the Alzheimer's Association. I marched with them in the

2525
02:24:13,400 --> 02:24:17,680
Speaker 5: state of Illinois in the year twenty seventeen. I'm marched

2526
02:24:17,800 --> 02:24:22,080
Speaker 5: in the capital of Springfield, Illinois about the rights of

2527
02:24:22,160 --> 02:24:26,880
Speaker 5: the Alzheimer's Association. They wear purple. They are powerful across

2528
02:24:26,959 --> 02:24:32,840
Speaker 5: this country because, thank God, Alzheimer's effects across the color spectrum. Okay,

2529
02:24:33,400 --> 02:24:36,760
Speaker 5: so our Caucasian brothers and sisters, they have skin in

2530
02:24:36,840 --> 02:24:39,960
Speaker 5: this game. So, brother, we're gonna win this one. This

2531
02:24:40,160 --> 02:24:42,480
Speaker 5: is a war we're not gonna lose. This is one

2532
02:24:42,520 --> 02:24:46,440
Speaker 5: where black and brown, we're not disproportionately affected. We are

2533
02:24:46,600 --> 02:24:51,400
Speaker 5: all affected as God's people. So, whether you're having memories

2534
02:24:51,520 --> 02:24:56,879
Speaker 5: loss that disrupts your daily life for the listenership challenges

2535
02:24:57,120 --> 02:25:01,760
Speaker 5: in planning and solving problems like challenges with a budget,

2536
02:25:02,320 --> 02:25:06,119
Speaker 5: challenges with a recipe, challenges keeping track of your bills.

2537
02:25:06,360 --> 02:25:12,200
Speaker 5: These are the early subtle signs forgetting recent information. Once

2538
02:25:12,240 --> 02:25:17,120
Speaker 5: it's more advanced, there can be personality changes, severe disorientation,

2539
02:25:17,959 --> 02:25:21,440
Speaker 5: inability to perform basic self care. But we don't have

2540
02:25:21,520 --> 02:25:25,119
Speaker 5: to let it get that advance at all. Once there

2541
02:25:25,280 --> 02:25:29,760
Speaker 5: is any level of difficulty completing a task, that is

2542
02:25:29,840 --> 02:25:33,920
Speaker 5: the time you want to begin proactive things. When your

2543
02:25:34,040 --> 02:25:38,199
Speaker 5: judgment is poor, long before your personality has changed, that's

2544
02:25:38,280 --> 02:25:40,920
Speaker 5: when we need to begin some of the things that

2545
02:25:41,040 --> 02:25:44,760
Speaker 5: we're going to do. So even things such as memory games,

2546
02:25:45,200 --> 02:25:50,960
Speaker 5: crossword puzzles, simple exercises that you write down lists, you

2547
02:25:51,160 --> 02:25:56,200
Speaker 5: keep track of calendars. Okay, I'm a practicing physician. I

2548
02:25:56,360 --> 02:25:58,760
Speaker 5: can't keep track of life if I don't have a calendar.

2549
02:26:00,160 --> 02:26:02,920
Speaker 5: Spoke to a group of eleventh grade high school students,

2550
02:26:03,200 --> 02:26:06,160
Speaker 5: and I told them, does everybody have a twenty twenty

2551
02:26:06,200 --> 02:26:09,440
Speaker 5: six calendar? Because how can you be organized if you don't,

2552
02:26:09,879 --> 02:26:13,200
Speaker 5: So you begin to change your routine. The same as

2553
02:26:13,320 --> 02:26:18,680
Speaker 5: people who have visual impairment, they need braille, they need

2554
02:26:18,840 --> 02:26:22,320
Speaker 5: things to assist them so that they can function without vision.

2555
02:26:22,800 --> 02:26:26,160
Speaker 5: People who have hearing loss they need to adapt their

2556
02:26:26,280 --> 02:26:32,360
Speaker 5: living circumstances so that they can function without hearing. There's

2557
02:26:32,400 --> 02:26:37,640
Speaker 5: a spectacular show that my husband's addicted to. What is

2558
02:26:37,760 --> 02:26:44,160
Speaker 5: the guy's name, not Blade Runner? Oh, I'm blanking on

2559
02:26:44,280 --> 02:26:46,680
Speaker 5: his name. The audience is going to know. But the

2560
02:26:46,760 --> 02:26:49,480
Speaker 5: boy is he's a blind man and he's a superhero

2561
02:26:50,400 --> 02:26:55,360
Speaker 5: and his hearing is so sensitive he can almost hear

2562
02:26:55,920 --> 02:26:58,840
Speaker 5: how to unlock their devil that's his name.

2563
02:26:59,160 --> 02:26:59,920
Speaker 16: He can hear how.

2564
02:27:00,160 --> 02:27:04,600
Speaker 5: Unlock a lock because this hearing is super sensitive. So again,

2565
02:27:05,040 --> 02:27:09,279
Speaker 5: the loss of one of our senses, the sense of thinking.

2566
02:27:09,760 --> 02:27:12,360
Speaker 5: And I talked in an earlier show that it's the

2567
02:27:12,560 --> 02:27:16,400
Speaker 5: white you're acentric model that we have five senses. We

2568
02:27:16,520 --> 02:27:20,440
Speaker 5: really have more of seven or eight, and the thinking

2569
02:27:20,879 --> 02:27:24,240
Speaker 5: is one of our senses. That's what distinguishes us from

2570
02:27:24,280 --> 02:27:28,960
Speaker 5: animals when we are losing our sense of thought. We're

2571
02:27:29,040 --> 02:27:33,560
Speaker 5: gaining another sense. So be cognizant of what sense in

2572
02:27:33,680 --> 02:27:40,920
Speaker 5: your body is being highlighted, taste, smell, hearing, seeing, and

2573
02:27:41,240 --> 02:27:46,879
Speaker 5: for thinking. Make the necessary adaptations. Contact the Alzheimer's Association,

2574
02:27:47,480 --> 02:27:52,560
Speaker 5: start doing crossword puzzles and memory games. Engage support groups

2575
02:27:52,879 --> 02:27:55,840
Speaker 5: because you're going to win this war. And I'm so

2576
02:27:56,040 --> 02:27:57,800
Speaker 5: proud of you for being proactive.

2577
02:27:59,120 --> 02:28:06,119
Speaker 10: No, I want to this. It's Alzheimer's is about indentity,

2578
02:28:06,160 --> 02:28:09,960
Speaker 10: It's about memory loss. That's that's the main point about it.

2579
02:28:10,040 --> 02:28:10,760
Speaker 12: Is that true?

2580
02:28:12,800 --> 02:28:15,560
Speaker 5: You got it, You got it, You got it. It

2581
02:28:15,680 --> 02:28:19,800
Speaker 5: doesn't have a cure, but current treatments focus on managing

2582
02:28:19,879 --> 02:28:23,160
Speaker 5: the symptoms and flowing the progression while you're still at

2583
02:28:23,200 --> 02:28:24,200
Speaker 5: an early stage.

2584
02:28:24,680 --> 02:28:28,080
Speaker 10: You got it, Yeah, we got I watched three you know,

2585
02:28:28,160 --> 02:28:30,240
Speaker 10: two people I love and care for. I watched them

2586
02:28:30,320 --> 02:28:33,880
Speaker 10: going through it. And it is painful too. Is it

2587
02:28:34,360 --> 02:28:35,800
Speaker 10: pain associated with with this?

2588
02:28:37,959 --> 02:28:41,120
Speaker 5: As you move into the later stages, like I said,

2589
02:28:41,680 --> 02:28:46,840
Speaker 5: where perception is off and your your sensory uh engagement

2590
02:28:47,080 --> 02:28:50,520
Speaker 5: becomes off, now that's when you're talking about physical pain.

2591
02:28:50,920 --> 02:28:55,000
Speaker 5: The earlier stages of Alzheimer's disease do not involve physical pain.

2592
02:28:55,680 --> 02:28:59,560
Speaker 5: But here's the beauty. There are actually treatments. So there

2593
02:28:59,600 --> 02:29:02,960
Speaker 5: are now FDA approved medications because, like I said, the

2594
02:29:03,040 --> 02:29:07,879
Speaker 5: Alzheimer's Association is very powerful. They have lobbyists in Congress

2595
02:29:08,040 --> 02:29:12,000
Speaker 5: and incentate, they are on top of legislation in this country.

2596
02:29:12,520 --> 02:29:15,520
Speaker 5: And so now their medications that we didn't have ten

2597
02:29:15,600 --> 02:29:21,480
Speaker 5: twenty years ago to actually address preventing progression of this disease.

2598
02:29:22,520 --> 02:29:27,480
Speaker 5: And so if you're already engaging specialists to actually get

2599
02:29:27,560 --> 02:29:32,199
Speaker 5: that appropriate diagnosis, as you did, engage those same specialists

2600
02:29:32,240 --> 02:29:36,840
Speaker 5: about what are the therapeutic options available to you. Lifestyle

2601
02:29:37,000 --> 02:29:41,280
Speaker 5: change is holistic living, eating whole grain foods, coloring your

2602
02:29:41,360 --> 02:29:45,200
Speaker 5: plate with all the antioxidants, all the nutrients, all the

2603
02:29:45,360 --> 02:29:48,760
Speaker 5: berries that I've been talking about al show. But even

2604
02:29:48,879 --> 02:29:54,480
Speaker 5: more poignantly, are there medications to slow the progression of

2605
02:29:54,760 --> 02:29:59,680
Speaker 5: your early stage Alzheimer's disease? You want to inquire about that.

2606
02:30:01,280 --> 02:30:03,960
Speaker 1: I had a couple of questions for you, doctor, and

2607
02:30:04,080 --> 02:30:06,960
Speaker 1: thank you Johnny for your call. One is it hereditary?

2608
02:30:07,440 --> 02:30:09,440
Speaker 1: Two is because there's a lot of people coming down

2609
02:30:09,480 --> 02:30:12,400
Speaker 1: with the issue. Two they're connected to people who took

2610
02:30:12,480 --> 02:30:14,960
Speaker 1: the shot. Is there any truth to that? The second

2611
02:30:15,000 --> 02:30:17,680
Speaker 1: one to both questions, but right.

2612
02:30:17,680 --> 02:30:23,760
Speaker 5: Both are poignant questions first and foremost. While dementia is

2613
02:30:24,160 --> 02:30:28,720
Speaker 5: known to be quote hereditary, meaning yes, we see family

2614
02:30:28,879 --> 02:30:38,359
Speaker 5: lineages of this pattern of dementia, Alzheimer's is actually plaque

2615
02:30:38,560 --> 02:30:43,279
Speaker 5: development on the brain. And so what we're now dealing

2616
02:30:43,360 --> 02:30:47,920
Speaker 5: with in terms of the treatment, the treatments actually target

2617
02:30:48,160 --> 02:30:53,120
Speaker 5: and try to remove amyloid plaques on the brain. So

2618
02:30:53,920 --> 02:30:57,320
Speaker 5: that is really what is known now to be positive.

2619
02:30:57,920 --> 02:30:58,959
Speaker 13: Does the JAB.

2620
02:30:59,240 --> 02:31:03,080
Speaker 5: Contribute to the development of Alzheimer's, We've got to put

2621
02:31:03,160 --> 02:31:06,680
Speaker 5: money and attention to that, Carl. We've talked about this

2622
02:31:06,840 --> 02:31:10,600
Speaker 5: on many different shows, and a lot of the problem,

2623
02:31:11,080 --> 02:31:14,960
Speaker 5: to be very very frank with you, is that we

2624
02:31:15,200 --> 02:31:17,400
Speaker 5: study the things that we want to know an answer to,

2625
02:31:17,840 --> 02:31:20,680
Speaker 5: and there's so many things in this country that we

2626
02:31:21,120 --> 02:31:26,279
Speaker 5: as a very conscientious, intentional community, we'd like the answers.

2627
02:31:26,600 --> 02:31:30,240
Speaker 5: We're not coughing up the money and giving the funding

2628
02:31:30,560 --> 02:31:35,200
Speaker 5: for those things to be properly investigated at all. So

2629
02:31:35,480 --> 02:31:38,640
Speaker 5: there's so many things that you're asking great questions, we

2630
02:31:38,720 --> 02:31:43,840
Speaker 5: don't have the answers. Long term negative consequences of the

2631
02:31:44,000 --> 02:31:48,520
Speaker 5: JAB have not been properly studied, have not been studied

2632
02:31:48,560 --> 02:31:52,680
Speaker 5: in sufficient detail at all. Alzheimer's is thought to be

2633
02:31:52,879 --> 02:31:59,400
Speaker 5: caused by an abnormal accumulation of amyloid blacks in the brain.

2634
02:32:00,120 --> 02:32:05,440
Speaker 5: These plaques destroy the nerve cells. These plaques interrupt communication.

2635
02:32:06,000 --> 02:32:10,840
Speaker 5: These plaques cause shrinkage of the brain. It's not fully

2636
02:32:11,040 --> 02:32:18,640
Speaker 5: understood exactly what combination of things triggers the development of

2637
02:32:18,720 --> 02:32:24,600
Speaker 5: these amyloid plaques. So there are many potential biological reasons

2638
02:32:26,160 --> 02:32:30,039
Speaker 5: that are causing this, but again, more research is needed.

2639
02:32:30,959 --> 02:32:36,560
Speaker 5: More research is needed. What are amyloid plaques sticky protein

2640
02:32:37,480 --> 02:32:42,160
Speaker 5: sticky protein fragments that are building up between your nerve

2641
02:32:42,280 --> 02:32:48,160
Speaker 5: cells and blocking communication. What are towel tangles? That's another

2642
02:32:48,240 --> 02:32:53,960
Speaker 5: word associated with Alzheimer's. They're proteins that collapse the internal

2643
02:32:54,120 --> 02:32:58,879
Speaker 5: transport system within the cell itself, so it literally kills

2644
02:32:58,959 --> 02:33:04,200
Speaker 5: the cell. How does brain damage happen? The nerve cells die,

2645
02:33:04,920 --> 02:33:10,840
Speaker 5: the brain strengths, and the areas responsible basically go away.

2646
02:33:11,480 --> 02:33:15,279
Speaker 5: So the areas of our brain responsible for memory strength,

2647
02:33:15,959 --> 02:33:20,680
Speaker 5: the cells responsible for memory die. Age is the number

2648
02:33:20,760 --> 02:33:25,520
Speaker 5: one risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. A family history of

2649
02:33:25,560 --> 02:33:30,640
Speaker 5: Alzheimer's can increase your risk. But the most poignant thing

2650
02:33:30,840 --> 02:33:37,960
Speaker 5: is really the Apoe gene. So once again, prior to

2651
02:33:38,040 --> 02:33:41,360
Speaker 5: be coming on this show, for two hours of listener calls,

2652
02:33:41,840 --> 02:33:46,240
Speaker 5: we had an expert talking about how our genes really

2653
02:33:46,360 --> 02:33:51,800
Speaker 5: affect what manifests well. Because all persons of all ethnicities

2654
02:33:52,240 --> 02:33:57,000
Speaker 5: get Alzheimer's, it has been thoroughly researched and studied in

2655
02:33:57,120 --> 02:34:00,760
Speaker 5: a way. We wish things we were just before affected

2656
02:34:00,879 --> 02:34:03,840
Speaker 5: by would get studied so we don't found the gene

2657
02:34:05,720 --> 02:34:10,920
Speaker 5: black people, we get it go and get genetic counseling,

2658
02:34:11,480 --> 02:34:15,760
Speaker 5: genetic testing that is free to you with your health care,

2659
02:34:16,080 --> 02:34:20,960
Speaker 5: with your primary health visit, you can find out do

2660
02:34:21,120 --> 02:34:27,080
Speaker 5: I have this apoe gene that's associated with Alzheimer's development.

2661
02:34:28,640 --> 02:34:33,920
Speaker 5: Also heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, smoking, all

2662
02:34:34,000 --> 02:34:38,840
Speaker 5: the things we are disproportionately affected by. They can increase

2663
02:34:39,160 --> 02:34:44,320
Speaker 5: your risk for Alzheimer's. If you've had a traumatic brain injury,

2664
02:34:44,800 --> 02:34:49,280
Speaker 5: that will increase your risk. People with Down syndrome out

2665
02:34:49,360 --> 02:34:54,040
Speaker 5: the gate, Okay, they have a chromosomal condition that is

2666
02:34:54,080 --> 02:35:00,320
Speaker 5: what caused the Down syndrome, so they develop Alzheimer's because

2667
02:35:00,360 --> 02:35:05,680
Speaker 5: of that chromosomal abnormality that led to Down syndrome. They're

2668
02:35:05,760 --> 02:35:08,080
Speaker 5: going to later in life if they get to that

2669
02:35:08,240 --> 02:35:12,880
Speaker 5: age develop these amyloid plaques. There's so many things about

2670
02:35:12,920 --> 02:35:16,760
Speaker 5: Alzheimer's that we need to more thoroughly understand. But it's

2671
02:35:16,920 --> 02:35:21,000
Speaker 5: a great, great topic because it is affecting more and

2672
02:35:21,240 --> 02:35:26,440
Speaker 5: more people. Yes, it's becoming more prevalent. It's becoming more recognized.

2673
02:35:26,879 --> 02:35:29,360
Speaker 5: You had people walking around don't know who they are

2674
02:35:29,800 --> 02:35:32,240
Speaker 5: or where they are, and no one cared about them.

2675
02:35:32,480 --> 02:35:36,400
Speaker 5: They were invisible. So invisible people are becoming more visible.

2676
02:35:37,720 --> 02:35:39,280
Speaker 1: Right and whole leftought right there, We've got to step

2677
02:35:39,280 --> 02:35:40,080
Speaker 1: aside for a few moments.

2678
02:35:40,120 --> 02:35:40,480
Speaker 3: We come back.

2679
02:35:40,520 --> 02:35:42,000
Speaker 1: We still got some folks want to talk to you.

2680
02:35:42,360 --> 02:35:45,160
Speaker 1: Eight hundred and four or five zero seventy eight seventy six.

2681
02:35:45,240 --> 02:35:47,400
Speaker 1: You got a health challenge? You know somebody who does

2682
02:35:47,640 --> 02:35:49,280
Speaker 1: reach out to us and we'll take your phone calls

2683
02:35:49,440 --> 02:35:51,920
Speaker 1: next angrand Rising family, thanks for staying with us on

2684
02:35:52,000 --> 02:35:55,120
Speaker 1: this Wellness Wednesday with our guest doctor, a doctor as

2685
02:35:55,600 --> 02:35:58,720
Speaker 1: a naturro panic doctor. It's social traditional physician as well.

2686
02:35:58,879 --> 02:36:01,200
Speaker 1: So we've got an issue or you know somebody that does.

2687
02:36:01,480 --> 02:36:03,520
Speaker 1: You know you want people know your name to just

2688
02:36:03,760 --> 02:36:06,760
Speaker 1: just use differency. It doesn't matter, but take care and

2689
02:36:06,920 --> 02:36:10,720
Speaker 1: take advantage of her expertise. Let's go to line for see.

2690
02:36:11,120 --> 02:36:13,680
Speaker 1: Sister is calling from cap Heights here, Maryland. Is the

2691
02:36:13,760 --> 02:36:20,440
Speaker 1: c your question for doctor A. You see they're online.

2692
02:36:20,480 --> 02:36:20,640
Speaker 3: Four.

2693
02:36:22,160 --> 02:36:26,200
Speaker 1: I'm not hearing she All right, listen, yes we can

2694
02:36:26,280 --> 02:36:26,480
Speaker 1: hear you.

2695
02:36:26,600 --> 02:36:31,000
Speaker 19: Now go ahead, okay, brandwriting, I wanted to know what's

2696
02:36:31,040 --> 02:36:36,080
Speaker 19: actors could get holistically for epilepsy.

2697
02:36:39,160 --> 02:36:42,360
Speaker 5: Okay, well that's can you be even more specific? Give

2698
02:36:42,480 --> 02:36:49,680
Speaker 5: me what was the diagnosis in terms of cause of

2699
02:36:49,800 --> 02:36:55,879
Speaker 5: epiles epilepsy, age of the person affected, and what they're

2700
02:36:55,959 --> 02:36:57,959
Speaker 5: currently doing for the epilepsy.

2701
02:37:00,520 --> 02:37:08,200
Speaker 19: Okay, cause was not given. The age was probably fifty five.

2702
02:37:09,160 --> 02:37:17,480
Speaker 19: And they're not taking their prescribement that I forgot what

2703
02:37:17,560 --> 02:37:22,199
Speaker 19: it's called into the p I think, but they don't

2704
02:37:22,240 --> 02:37:24,840
Speaker 19: have them often, maybe one or two a year.

2705
02:37:24,959 --> 02:37:29,120
Speaker 5: This person has been diagnosed with this over decades of time.

2706
02:37:30,760 --> 02:37:33,480
Speaker 16: No, No, like twenty eighteen.

2707
02:37:35,280 --> 02:37:39,360
Speaker 5: Okay, so kind of a new onset of epilepsy. Yes,

2708
02:37:40,840 --> 02:37:44,040
Speaker 5: and they were never really told why they had a

2709
02:37:44,200 --> 02:37:46,360
Speaker 5: new on set of epilepsy out of nowhere.

2710
02:37:47,640 --> 02:37:48,920
Speaker 7: No, not at all.

2711
02:37:50,120 --> 02:37:54,800
Speaker 5: Okay, So that that that becomes a problem new onset

2712
02:37:54,920 --> 02:38:01,200
Speaker 5: for epilepsy in one's fifties is so abnormal that I

2713
02:38:01,400 --> 02:38:06,480
Speaker 5: really would investigate a second opinion just to look into causalergy.

2714
02:38:07,000 --> 02:38:11,400
Speaker 5: That's the first thing. Okay, So okay, that can't be

2715
02:38:11,600 --> 02:38:16,519
Speaker 5: overlooked because when we talk about treatment, whether it's holistic

2716
02:38:16,680 --> 02:38:20,080
Speaker 5: or otherwise, when we talk about prescription, we really do

2717
02:38:20,280 --> 02:38:23,640
Speaker 5: have to understand what was the thing that led to this.

2718
02:38:24,320 --> 02:38:27,160
Speaker 5: Why is this person beginning to seize? Do they have

2719
02:38:27,280 --> 02:38:30,800
Speaker 5: a brain trauma, do they have a brain tumor? Is

2720
02:38:30,879 --> 02:38:35,280
Speaker 5: there something underlying that is still not being addressed? Are

2721
02:38:35,360 --> 02:38:38,520
Speaker 5: you following me? Hello?

2722
02:38:38,920 --> 02:38:41,199
Speaker 1: I think she hung up. She's probably still listening.

2723
02:38:40,959 --> 02:38:44,280
Speaker 5: Though, Okay, okay, that's fine. Well, the bottom line is

2724
02:38:44,720 --> 02:38:52,080
Speaker 5: any new neurologic symptom listenership is highly suspect and life threatening,

2725
02:38:52,959 --> 02:38:56,800
Speaker 5: whether it is the new onset of epilepsy or seizures.

2726
02:38:56,959 --> 02:39:02,040
Speaker 5: Just for everyone's edification, okay, sees, when you are a

2727
02:39:02,240 --> 02:39:05,800
Speaker 5: normal person, you didn't have childhood seizures, you didn't have

2728
02:39:05,879 --> 02:39:10,040
Speaker 5: seizures in puberty, you didn't have anything related to your hormones.

2729
02:39:10,320 --> 02:39:13,680
Speaker 5: You moved through pregnancy. If you're a woman, you moved

2730
02:39:13,680 --> 02:39:17,400
Speaker 5: through all of the life cycles. Your fifties are your

2731
02:39:17,520 --> 02:39:21,360
Speaker 5: latter chapters. But yes, you develop more stuff in your fifties,

2732
02:39:21,600 --> 02:39:27,520
Speaker 5: not neurologic stuff. Okay, as the gentleman before called and said,

2733
02:39:28,080 --> 02:39:31,760
Speaker 5: I've been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. That's at least an intelligent

2734
02:39:31,920 --> 02:39:38,040
Speaker 5: diagnosis that somebody did the work, investigated the symptoms, put

2735
02:39:38,080 --> 02:39:41,040
Speaker 5: two and two together, and gave him an intelligent answer.

2736
02:39:42,080 --> 02:39:45,920
Speaker 5: Epilepsy is not an intelligent answer at fifty five, So

2737
02:39:46,040 --> 02:39:50,200
Speaker 5: you've got to ask further questions. What is happening. Why

2738
02:39:50,320 --> 02:39:55,000
Speaker 5: has this person begun to seize out of nowhere? Let's

2739
02:39:55,320 --> 02:39:59,640
Speaker 5: investigate that and get an answer. All right, Carl, we're

2740
02:39:59,640 --> 02:40:00,720
Speaker 5: on the ro this morning.

2741
02:40:00,959 --> 02:40:02,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we still got a bunch of folks who

2742
02:40:02,600 --> 02:40:05,360
Speaker 1: want to talk to you, doctor A. So let's go

2743
02:40:05,480 --> 02:40:08,880
Speaker 1: to Washington, d C. Pam's online too, Grand Rising, Pamy,

2744
02:40:08,959 --> 02:40:10,200
Speaker 1: your question for doctor A.

2745
02:40:11,560 --> 02:40:14,600
Speaker 16: Grand rousing on mister Nelson and doctor A, thanks for

2746
02:40:14,680 --> 02:40:17,680
Speaker 16: taking my call. I'm calling behalf of my mother who

2747
02:40:17,800 --> 02:40:23,080
Speaker 16: was seventy seven and she was diagnosed with hurocey. She's

2748
02:40:23,120 --> 02:40:25,920
Speaker 16: a free dogmatic and so now she's scheduled take.

2749
02:40:26,240 --> 02:40:29,440
Speaker 5: Diagnosed with what she was diagnosed, Pam. She was diagnosed

2750
02:40:29,480 --> 02:40:30,640
Speaker 5: with what was the words.

2751
02:40:30,480 --> 02:40:37,720
Speaker 16: You said, newapacy thing of pronouncement neuropathy, got it, Yeah,

2752
02:40:38,680 --> 02:40:40,320
Speaker 16: And so I want to know if any questions that

2753
02:40:40,440 --> 02:40:43,280
Speaker 16: she could ask for doctors because she had lost a

2754
02:40:43,320 --> 02:40:46,640
Speaker 16: lot of weight, but they still don't know like the

2755
02:40:46,760 --> 02:40:52,600
Speaker 16: reason why. And she says she has kingly in her feet.

2756
02:40:54,920 --> 02:40:58,800
Speaker 5: Okay, So that's two separate things, Pam, and thank you

2757
02:40:58,920 --> 02:41:02,199
Speaker 5: for calling and loving your mom. We love loving daughters.

2758
02:41:02,640 --> 02:41:05,520
Speaker 5: I represent it as a loving daughter, So you know,

2759
02:41:05,600 --> 02:41:08,600
Speaker 5: we've got to protect them as they protected us on

2760
02:41:08,720 --> 02:41:11,480
Speaker 5: the other end of the spectrum. So, first of all,

2761
02:41:11,600 --> 02:41:15,400
Speaker 5: diabetic neuropathy is common, and that really indicates that the

2762
02:41:15,520 --> 02:41:20,400
Speaker 5: diabetes is not new because neuropathy is a complication of

2763
02:41:20,720 --> 02:41:24,679
Speaker 5: the diabetes. So once we're starting to have nerve sensitivity,

2764
02:41:24,879 --> 02:41:29,680
Speaker 5: nerve sensations, we're at risk for infection because when your

2765
02:41:29,760 --> 02:41:33,400
Speaker 5: nerves aren't working right, particularly in the feet of diabetics,

2766
02:41:33,959 --> 02:41:36,800
Speaker 5: they step on a nail, they get an abcess in

2767
02:41:36,879 --> 02:41:40,200
Speaker 5: their foot. They don't even feel it, so now it

2768
02:41:40,320 --> 02:41:42,760
Speaker 5: gets worse and worse, and that's how they end up

2769
02:41:42,800 --> 02:41:46,520
Speaker 5: with amputation. So your mother's foot care, you've got to

2770
02:41:46,560 --> 02:41:49,560
Speaker 5: be very particular about that. Now that she has neuropathy,

2771
02:41:50,040 --> 02:41:53,920
Speaker 5: she should also have a pediatriys but the weight loss

2772
02:41:54,040 --> 02:41:57,520
Speaker 5: is separate. That's a totally separate issue. Why is your

2773
02:41:57,600 --> 02:42:01,039
Speaker 5: mother losing weight and she's diabetic? Again, that's a pretty

2774
02:42:01,080 --> 02:42:05,160
Speaker 5: serious thing. So what you really do about that? Even

2775
02:42:05,240 --> 02:42:09,200
Speaker 5: something over the phone, without medical records, without physical exam,

2776
02:42:09,600 --> 02:42:13,279
Speaker 5: without the benefit of blood work, No, no intelligent doctor

2777
02:42:13,720 --> 02:42:15,400
Speaker 5: is even going to take a bite of that cake.

2778
02:42:15,959 --> 02:42:19,080
Speaker 5: It's a serious one. So I want you, as a

2779
02:42:19,200 --> 02:42:22,480
Speaker 5: daughter to take it seriously. You need to demand answers.

2780
02:42:22,959 --> 02:42:26,040
Speaker 5: Why is this woman losing weight for no reason? You

2781
02:42:26,160 --> 02:42:30,040
Speaker 5: need an intelligent answer. She's losing protein in her urine.

2782
02:42:30,400 --> 02:42:34,080
Speaker 5: She is not eating the right floric intake. She needs

2783
02:42:34,160 --> 02:42:38,680
Speaker 5: a nutritionouness, a podiatrist. Thank you Pam for calling.

2784
02:42:40,160 --> 02:42:42,920
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Bam, good luck. Twenty seven half on

2785
02:42:43,000 --> 02:42:46,840
Speaker 1: top of the Wanda's in Cleveland, Wanda's online, three grand rising, Wanda,

2786
02:42:46,879 --> 02:42:48,039
Speaker 1: your question for doctor A.

2787
02:42:50,320 --> 02:42:55,920
Speaker 20: Grand Rising Carl and doctor A. I am sixty seven

2788
02:42:56,040 --> 02:42:59,560
Speaker 20: years old, and for the past i'd say two to

2789
02:42:59,680 --> 02:43:05,480
Speaker 20: three years, I've had difficulties sleeping. I can pose people, okay,

2790
02:43:05,600 --> 02:43:08,440
Speaker 20: but then I wake up, I use it to use

2791
02:43:08,520 --> 02:43:11,920
Speaker 20: the restroom, and then I get back in bed and

2792
02:43:12,160 --> 02:43:16,520
Speaker 20: my mind just won't shut up. Is there anything I

2793
02:43:16,560 --> 02:43:18,959
Speaker 20: can do, and I don't want narcotics to go.

2794
02:43:19,120 --> 02:43:24,160
Speaker 5: To sleep, right, Okay, So what is your age again?

2795
02:43:25,360 --> 02:43:26,080
Speaker 12: Sixty seven?

2796
02:43:27,440 --> 02:43:30,560
Speaker 5: Okay, and you've had insomnia for how many years Wanda?

2797
02:43:32,400 --> 02:43:38,640
Speaker 20: About two maybe two and a half, So it's a

2798
02:43:38,760 --> 02:43:39,200
Speaker 20: new thing.

2799
02:43:40,440 --> 02:43:43,160
Speaker 5: Okay. Well, then that's your keys, that's your key. You

2800
02:43:43,360 --> 02:43:47,320
Speaker 5: just gave me the answer. Most women, Wanda that are

2801
02:43:47,360 --> 02:43:52,080
Speaker 5: sixty seven went through hell in their fifties with insomnia.

2802
02:43:52,360 --> 02:43:55,440
Speaker 5: That's not at all what you're telling me. You're pretty

2803
02:43:55,520 --> 02:43:57,920
Speaker 5: much telling me you kind of went through menopause with

2804
02:43:58,000 --> 02:44:01,520
Speaker 5: no problem, and all of a sudden, it's now you

2805
02:44:01,640 --> 02:44:05,440
Speaker 5: can't sleep. That's extremely atypical. And what that points to

2806
02:44:05,760 --> 02:44:10,000
Speaker 5: is a stressor in your life or maybe somebody that

2807
02:44:10,120 --> 02:44:12,480
Speaker 5: you need to block. I'm sorry to say it, Okay.

2808
02:44:12,879 --> 02:44:16,240
Speaker 5: As Black women, we take on way too much baggage.

2809
02:44:16,840 --> 02:44:19,840
Speaker 5: That is why Rikabadu came up with some own bag. Lady,

2810
02:44:20,400 --> 02:44:25,560
Speaker 5: let it go. So Wanda, honestly, I'm gonna be very candid,

2811
02:44:26,520 --> 02:44:32,520
Speaker 5: probably dark room and make it cool and uh, stop

2812
02:44:32,600 --> 02:44:34,960
Speaker 5: the screen time. These are not the key for you

2813
02:44:35,640 --> 02:44:38,720
Speaker 5: because you literally got through some of the you got

2814
02:44:38,760 --> 02:44:42,560
Speaker 5: through some of the hardest times of your life without insomnia.

2815
02:44:43,000 --> 02:44:45,720
Speaker 5: You slept like a rock when most women were not.

2816
02:44:46,680 --> 02:44:50,320
Speaker 5: So there's a factor. You got an X factor that

2817
02:44:50,440 --> 02:44:54,080
Speaker 5: you have to release. That is my I'm not miss Cleo,

2818
02:44:54,480 --> 02:44:59,000
Speaker 5: but that is my intuition as a clinician. Okay, then

2819
02:44:59,040 --> 02:45:02,520
Speaker 5: you pop up at a sixty five and be a

2820
02:45:02,600 --> 02:45:06,400
Speaker 5: problem over two years. So it may not be readily

2821
02:45:06,560 --> 02:45:10,080
Speaker 5: in your mind, because again, Black women rarely see the

2822
02:45:10,160 --> 02:45:12,840
Speaker 5: burden as a burden. You know, we're just so loving

2823
02:45:12,959 --> 02:45:16,840
Speaker 5: and big hearted. You want to be very clear about

2824
02:45:16,879 --> 02:45:22,879
Speaker 5: your relaxation techniques. Are you practicing yoga, meditation, deep breathing.

2825
02:45:23,920 --> 02:45:26,400
Speaker 5: Do you take a warm bath an hour before you

2826
02:45:26,520 --> 02:45:29,400
Speaker 5: go to bed? So these are some of the things

2827
02:45:29,480 --> 02:45:33,640
Speaker 5: that really help. If the basics aren't working, you may

2828
02:45:33,760 --> 02:45:37,959
Speaker 5: want to actually start a yoga class, Wanda, because yoga

2829
02:45:38,200 --> 02:45:42,800
Speaker 5: teaches you mindfulness. Yoga teaches you being in the present moment.

2830
02:45:43,000 --> 02:45:45,959
Speaker 5: Yoga teaches you a lot of the things where people

2831
02:45:46,040 --> 02:45:49,840
Speaker 5: who say they cannot meditate on their own they learn

2832
02:45:50,400 --> 02:45:55,240
Speaker 5: a calm, a centric new in their yoga classes. Also,

2833
02:45:55,400 --> 02:45:58,920
Speaker 5: meditating is available for free, so you can do it

2834
02:45:59,040 --> 02:46:03,880
Speaker 5: on YouTube. Find a channel that works for you, Find

2835
02:46:03,920 --> 02:46:07,320
Speaker 5: a theme or a subject matter that is relaxing to you.

2836
02:46:07,879 --> 02:46:10,360
Speaker 5: You've got to know what's relaxing to you, Wanda. You

2837
02:46:10,480 --> 02:46:13,520
Speaker 5: may need to journal. You journal for three weeks and

2838
02:46:13,600 --> 02:46:16,320
Speaker 5: you may have an aha moment that takes you right

2839
02:46:16,400 --> 02:46:19,480
Speaker 5: back to this conversation and what doctor A is pointing to.

2840
02:46:21,480 --> 02:46:23,280
Speaker 3: All right, thank you, Wanda, thank you.

2841
02:46:24,840 --> 02:46:28,280
Speaker 1: Good A tweet question for you, doctor A twenty nine

2842
02:46:28,320 --> 02:46:30,960
Speaker 1: away from the top there, the tweeter says, when you

2843
02:46:31,000 --> 02:46:34,840
Speaker 1: asked AUTA about things that may help lurry vision from

2844
02:46:35,040 --> 02:46:38,280
Speaker 1: excess fluid in the eye. Not the fluid, Not the

2845
02:46:38,400 --> 02:46:41,080
Speaker 1: fluid that has your eyes running all the time.

2846
02:46:45,000 --> 02:46:50,360
Speaker 5: Okay, well, I appreciate the tweeter once again, just like

2847
02:46:50,520 --> 02:46:53,520
Speaker 5: with Wanda. As a good physician, it makes me want

2848
02:46:53,560 --> 02:46:56,720
Speaker 5: to dig deeper. Why do you have a build up

2849
02:46:56,760 --> 02:47:00,160
Speaker 5: a fluid in your eyes? That is a problem that

2850
02:47:00,240 --> 02:47:04,240
Speaker 5: will lead to a permanent eye damage. So, yes, we

2851
02:47:04,360 --> 02:47:06,640
Speaker 5: want to remove the fluid in the eyes. We don't

2852
02:47:06,680 --> 02:47:09,920
Speaker 5: want excess fluid in our eyes. I get exactly what

2853
02:47:10,080 --> 02:47:13,879
Speaker 5: the caller or our tweeter is addressing, but I don't

2854
02:47:13,879 --> 02:47:17,680
Speaker 5: have a big enough picture as a physician to remedy

2855
02:47:18,240 --> 02:47:21,480
Speaker 5: the problem. So, in other words, you have fluid build

2856
02:47:21,560 --> 02:47:25,400
Speaker 5: up in your eyes that's going to increase your eye pressure.

2857
02:47:25,879 --> 02:47:29,480
Speaker 5: Go to an ophthalmologist so that you can understand the

2858
02:47:29,760 --> 02:47:34,400
Speaker 5: why someone has got to physically examine you. Someone has

2859
02:47:34,480 --> 02:47:39,959
Speaker 5: got to know your medical history, age, lifestyle, risk factors

2860
02:47:40,760 --> 02:47:44,440
Speaker 5: to tell you in a concrete way as an individual,

2861
02:47:45,000 --> 02:47:49,560
Speaker 5: how you personally can decrease your eye pressure and decrease

2862
02:47:49,640 --> 02:47:52,360
Speaker 5: the fluid in your eye. Once you do those two things,

2863
02:47:52,640 --> 02:47:55,360
Speaker 5: you will not have the blurry vision. Thank you for

2864
02:47:55,480 --> 02:47:57,119
Speaker 5: tweeting and being a part of the show.

2865
02:47:57,840 --> 02:48:01,519
Speaker 1: Twenty seven away from Tom Fay. Let's go out west again, Malibu, California,

2866
02:48:01,640 --> 02:48:05,440
Speaker 1: Christians Online six Grand Rising Christian. Your question for doctor A.

2867
02:48:06,920 --> 02:48:10,920
Speaker 11: Good morning, Doctor A. And Colin Nelson for Wanda. Maybe

2868
02:48:11,000 --> 02:48:13,320
Speaker 11: they can play some Joe sample or some George Howard

2869
02:48:13,440 --> 02:48:16,000
Speaker 11: music that might be blacks and stuff like that. But

2870
02:48:16,120 --> 02:48:18,560
Speaker 11: I was calling for if you can give us some

2871
02:48:18,640 --> 02:48:22,280
Speaker 11: insight how we hurt ourselves. We injure ourselves with these

2872
02:48:22,400 --> 02:48:26,640
Speaker 11: heavy petroleum products like these wigs, and these are fake

2873
02:48:26,720 --> 02:48:31,360
Speaker 11: eye asses and listic and we use an aluminium deodorant.

2874
02:48:34,480 --> 02:48:38,840
Speaker 5: Oh yet, now you've said a mouthful. So I don't

2875
02:48:38,920 --> 02:48:42,000
Speaker 5: want to take away from callers who have ask some questions.

2876
02:48:42,480 --> 02:48:45,440
Speaker 5: So I'm going to just touch on that very briefly.

2877
02:48:46,640 --> 02:48:51,800
Speaker 5: There are a lot of toxic environmental chemicals, and unfortunately,

2878
02:48:52,240 --> 02:48:57,959
Speaker 5: Black women, we in particular, are prone to using these things.

2879
02:48:58,600 --> 02:49:02,600
Speaker 5: So yes, the weave products and even those who are

2880
02:49:02,680 --> 02:49:05,600

2881
02:49:05,680 --> 02:49:09,240
Speaker 5: your hair. You're also adding in hair to the braids.

2882
02:49:09,879 --> 02:49:12,760
Speaker 5: So it's not just the ladies that weave their hair,

2883
02:49:13,280 --> 02:49:17,960
Speaker 5: weave braid wig. Anything that is a product that was

Speaker 5: These things can lead to cancer. So yes, black women

2886
02:49:28,760 --> 02:49:35,000
Speaker 5: are disproportionately affected biology yn cancers, including breast Where is

2887
02:49:35,080 --> 02:49:38,960
Speaker 5: the link to the things that we use as products

2888
02:49:39,080 --> 02:49:43,040
Speaker 5: and the environment in which we find ourselves. There are

2889

Speaker 5: live anymore in a world where we cannot discover knowledge.

2892
02:49:55,720 --> 02:49:59,440

2893
02:50:00,160 --> 02:50:03,200
Speaker 5: you know in politics, be thirsty for knowledge. That's the

2931
02:52:00,879 --> 02:52:03,560

Speaker 1: Minister Farkhin commissioned Minister Ocbar to make sure that it

2933
02:52:07,560 --> 02:52:10,840
Speaker 1: was finished, and when Alex Haley's family was showing us

2936
02:52:17,440 --> 02:52:20,480
Speaker 1: Nation of Islam. Anyway, let's go back to Richard in Brentwood,

2937
02:52:20,640 --> 02:52:23,360
Speaker 1: doctor A's question about mucus for his wife.

2938
02:52:25,520 --> 02:52:30,400
Speaker 5: So, Richard, thank you for calling and representing love in

2939
02:52:30,520 --> 02:52:36,520
Speaker 5: a marriage. Black love is yeah, black love is what rocks.

2940
02:52:36,560 --> 02:52:40,720
Speaker 5: The whole family. The black community is based upon what

2941
02:52:41,240 --> 02:52:44,880
Speaker 5: the black family. The black family is based upon and

2942
02:52:45,040 --> 02:52:50,120
Speaker 5: defined by what black love. So brother just called this

2943
02:52:50,280 --> 02:52:53,520
Speaker 5: morning is so important to all of us. Number One,

2944
02:52:53,720 --> 02:52:58,480
Speaker 5: it's a very very general question for our listenership. Chronic

2945
02:52:58,680 --> 02:53:03,680
Speaker 5: calls and mucus production is overwhelmingly common. And when the

2946
02:53:03,760 --> 02:53:08,039
Speaker 5: Brothers specifically say it, we've tried everything, We've done everything.

2947
02:53:08,640 --> 02:53:11,320
Speaker 5: As a physician, the first thing I'm going to do

2948
02:53:11,920 --> 02:53:15,520
Speaker 5: is look at the medical records right every test that

2949
02:53:15,800 --> 02:53:19,440
Speaker 5: was done, every blood test that was ordered, so I

2950
02:53:19,440 --> 02:53:21,520
Speaker 5: would have a lot of data in front of me,

2951
02:53:22,040 --> 02:53:24,480
Speaker 5: in addition to having your wife in front of me

2952
02:53:24,879 --> 02:53:28,480
Speaker 5: where I can do a physical examination of her in

2953
02:53:28,600 --> 02:53:31,440
Speaker 5: the absence of all of those things. Here is the

2954
02:53:31,600 --> 02:53:36,560
Speaker 5: general information for the listenership and specifically for you and

2955
02:53:36,680 --> 02:53:42,480
Speaker 5: for your wife. Persistent cought That means it lasts for

2956
02:53:42,959 --> 02:53:48,760
Speaker 5: eight weeks or longer in an adult. In children, we

2957
02:53:48,920 --> 02:53:53,760
Speaker 5: call it a persistent cough four weeks or longer. If

2958
02:53:53,959 --> 02:53:57,880
Speaker 5: she has been coughing for eight weeks or more, she

2959
02:53:58,160 --> 02:54:03,160
Speaker 5: has a medical term called a persistent cost. That diagnosis

2960
02:54:03,520 --> 02:54:06,960
Speaker 5: gets you a second opinion, if needed, a third opinion.

2961
02:54:07,720 --> 02:54:11,200
Speaker 5: Here are the common causes for you to understand for

2962
02:54:11,360 --> 02:54:14,160
Speaker 5: your wife, and I don't know which things have been

2963
02:54:14,280 --> 02:54:23,800
Speaker 5: ruled out by tests, examination, radiologic studies, etc. Post nasal drifts, asthma,

2964
02:54:24,680 --> 02:54:28,600
Speaker 5: acid reflux. Those are three of the most common causes

2965
02:54:29,040 --> 02:54:32,800
Speaker 5: for an adult to develop a chronic cost. If those

2966
02:54:32,879 --> 02:54:36,440
Speaker 5: are the causes, then you want to treat the underlying

2967
02:54:36,600 --> 02:54:41,000
Speaker 5: cause with medication, whether it's asthma. So again, a pull

2968
02:54:41,080 --> 02:54:47,640
Speaker 5: moonologist can evaluate your wife with thorough lung function testing

2969
02:54:48,879 --> 02:54:53,440
Speaker 5: a pullmanologist, she doesn't need a primary care anymore. It's

2970
02:54:53,480 --> 02:54:57,280
Speaker 5: time to step up the game to a specialist. A

2971
02:54:57,520 --> 02:55:01,880
Speaker 5: GI doctor or gastro in orund can evaluate her for

2972
02:55:02,000 --> 02:55:05,720
Speaker 5: acid reflux. So she may need to see both specialists

2973
02:55:05,959 --> 02:55:13,320
Speaker 5: pomonologists and gastroenterrologists. Okay. Mucus production can be from allergies

2974
02:55:14,440 --> 02:55:18,720
Speaker 5: or it can be from a virus. The cough from

2975
02:55:18,959 --> 02:55:23,720
Speaker 5: asthma can be persistent. That's a dry cough. The cough

2976
02:55:24,080 --> 02:55:28,280
Speaker 5: from reflux is coming from too much acid in her

2977
02:55:28,640 --> 02:55:34,480
Speaker 5: esophagus that's being produced. In that case, nutritional lifestyle changes

2978
02:55:34,560 --> 02:55:37,080
Speaker 5: are going to make a difference. If she's a smoker,

2979
02:55:37,400 --> 02:55:41,600
Speaker 5: she's got to quit smoking. Okay, there's certain medications for

2980
02:55:41,720 --> 02:55:45,760
Speaker 5: blood pressure that can cause a chronic cough. So again

2981
02:55:46,120 --> 02:55:47,880
Speaker 5: I don't have the list in front of me. I

2982
02:55:47,920 --> 02:55:51,200
Speaker 5: don't have her medical records. You can have a lingering

2983
02:55:51,320 --> 02:55:55,480
Speaker 5: cough after you've had pneumonia, the flu or a cold virus.

2984
02:55:56,400 --> 02:56:00,560
Speaker 5: There are environmental irritants like dust and mold, the pollution.

2985
02:56:01,200 --> 02:56:03,480
Speaker 5: You know, is there something in the house or in

2986
02:56:03,560 --> 02:56:08,160
Speaker 5: her workplace this triggering a chronic cough. My suggestions you

2987
02:56:08,240 --> 02:56:14,039
Speaker 5: get a pomonologist and she get a gasperineurologist and dig deeper.

2988
02:56:14,440 --> 02:56:17,680
Speaker 5: Thank you so much for loving your wife and representing

2989
02:56:17,760 --> 02:56:20,200
Speaker 5: black love on the Carl Nelson Show this morning.

2990
02:56:20,959 --> 02:56:23,400
Speaker 1: All right, thank you to Richard. Thirteen away from the

2996
02:56:42,320 --> 02:56:47,200
Speaker 21: asked my doctor because I have an overactive bladder and.

2997
02:56:47,360 --> 02:56:48,400
Speaker 13: I had, you know.

2998
02:56:49,160 --> 02:56:52,160
Speaker 21: I finally took a look at all my lab core tests,

2999
02:56:52,959 --> 02:56:58,480
Speaker 21: looking over a period of of over a year, and

3000
02:56:58,520 --> 02:57:02,400
Speaker 21: a half. The thing that worries me because the doctor

3001
02:57:02,400 --> 02:57:04,560
Speaker 21: hadn't brought it to my attention. But some of these

3002
02:57:04,600 --> 02:57:08,360
Speaker 21: results said abnormal. Let me mention some of the things.

3003

3006
02:57:22,320 --> 02:57:25,520
Speaker 21: He said, well the lower, the higher it is, the better.

3007
02:57:26,800 --> 02:57:30,080
Speaker 21: Then I looked at alkaline phosphate. It is one twenty

3008
02:57:30,160 --> 02:57:37,000
Speaker 21: three and the result says high. It says WBCs the

02:59:03,800 --> 02:59:07,480
Speaker 5: question everything. So we don't have enough time in the

3030
02:59:07,560 --> 02:59:10,480
Speaker 5: remaining ten minutes for me to break down each and

3031
02:59:10,680 --> 02:59:14,600
Speaker 5: every lab test. But I am proud of you because

3032
02:59:14,640 --> 02:59:18,840
Speaker 5: you're doing what my mother does. Print out your own labs.

3033
02:59:19,120 --> 02:59:22,080
Speaker 5: You know, everybody has a my chart. Nowadays, we all

3034
02:59:22,200 --> 02:59:25,879
Speaker 5: have an electronic record. You have access like the caller

3035
02:59:26,000 --> 02:59:30,360
Speaker 5: right now, to print your data and know every single number.

3036
02:59:30,760 --> 02:59:30,920
Speaker 4: You know.

3037
02:59:31,000 --> 02:59:34,240
Speaker 5: I just did a workshop in the DMV Heart Health

3038
02:59:34,400 --> 02:59:37,360
Speaker 5: at the end of February, and one thing I preach,

3039
02:59:37,680 --> 02:59:40,560
Speaker 5: know your numbers. So what I'm saying to you says,

3040
02:59:40,879 --> 02:59:44,040
Speaker 5: get a second opinion. Okay, the fact that there is

3041
02:59:44,240 --> 02:59:49,520
Speaker 5: anything abnormal with your bladder. You said you have an

3042
02:59:49,560 --> 02:59:55,560
Speaker 5: overactive bladder. There's so many causes. Okay, that alone, you

3043
02:59:55,720 --> 02:59:59,720
Speaker 5: can have a consultation with a urologist. So you tell

3044
02:59:59,800 --> 03:00:03,000
Speaker 5: this doctor you know what, I have an overactive bladder.

3045
03:00:03,600 --> 03:00:07,240
Speaker 5: I've been investigating this and I need more information. I

3046
03:00:07,400 --> 03:00:11,200
Speaker 5: need a referral to a urologist. The urologist as a

3047
03:00:11,320 --> 03:00:16,200
Speaker 5: basic will do all of the urine and blood work again.

3048
03:00:16,959 --> 03:00:20,360
Speaker 5: And when they do that, you take your paperwork. You

3049
03:00:20,760 --> 03:00:23,879
Speaker 5: take the numbers in front of you. From twenty twenty

3050
03:00:23,920 --> 03:00:26,760
Speaker 5: five in twenty twenty six, put the papers in front

3051
03:00:26,800 --> 03:00:29,440
Speaker 5: of the doctor. You need to have a conversation. And

3052
03:00:29,520 --> 03:00:31,640
Speaker 5: if they don't have the time, then you need their

3053
03:00:31,760 --> 03:00:34,680
Speaker 5: nurse to have the conversation. You want to go over

3054
03:00:34,840 --> 03:00:38,560
Speaker 5: all your labs before you leave the building. Period.

3055
03:00:39,600 --> 03:00:43,520
Speaker 21: Should just be a kidney doctor or kind of just

3056
03:00:43,600 --> 03:00:45,200
Speaker 21: be a regular GP.

3057
03:00:47,400 --> 03:00:52,240
Speaker 5: So again, because you have a symptom of an overactive bladder,

3058
03:00:52,680 --> 03:00:57,240
Speaker 5: I am recommending urologists now, way back when you were

3059
03:00:57,280 --> 03:01:00,760
Speaker 5: a young woman, when you were fertile, just would only

3060
03:01:00,879 --> 03:01:03,960
Speaker 5: deal with the penis and the prostate. Uh, we don't

3061
03:01:04,000 --> 03:01:07,960
Speaker 5: live in that day. Women matter, So now there are

3062
03:01:08,240 --> 03:01:12,000
Speaker 5: eurologists for women to deal with the pelvins, to deal

3063
03:01:12,080 --> 03:01:15,280
Speaker 5: with our overactive bladder, to deal with the train wreck

3064
03:01:15,480 --> 03:01:19,800
Speaker 5: that happens to our body after childbearing, after menopause, see

3065
03:01:20,120 --> 03:01:28,039
Speaker 5: a eurogynecologist. Eurogynecologists but they are not universally available. There's

3066
03:01:28,080 --> 03:01:34,520
Speaker 5: a shortage of eurogynecologists. So a eurologist, okay, preferably a woman,

3067
03:01:35,120 --> 03:01:40,080
Speaker 5: but you know, somebody flew it in female eurologic problems

3068
03:01:40,480 --> 03:01:42,160
Speaker 5: and that's going to be all of the male. You

3069
03:01:42,280 --> 03:01:45,800
Speaker 5: can't be certified unless you know the boy and the girl. Okay,

3070
03:01:46,120 --> 03:01:51,720
Speaker 5: So every eurologist is qualified to evaluate an overactive bladder.

3071
03:01:52,200 --> 03:01:55,080
Speaker 5: But as we said earlier in the show, vet your

3072
03:01:55,200 --> 03:02:00,440
Speaker 5: doctor if you can specifically get a eurogynecologist and get one.

3073
03:02:00,840 --> 03:02:05,920
Speaker 5: But if not, a urologists fluid in female urologic problems

3074
03:02:06,720 --> 03:02:08,640
Speaker 5: because you have one and it's valid.

3075
03:02:09,640 --> 03:02:09,840
Speaker 6: Yeah.

3076
03:02:09,920 --> 03:02:14,160
Speaker 21: One quick question that gallereal filtration rate. Well, what's the

3077
03:02:14,320 --> 03:02:16,120
Speaker 21: range there for that?

3078
03:02:16,920 --> 03:02:21,160
Speaker 5: So again the GFR, the higher the better. As a

3079
03:02:21,280 --> 03:02:24,039
Speaker 5: general rule, the higher the better. So when we talk

3080
03:02:24,080 --> 03:02:27,560
Speaker 5: about five stages of kidney disease, I don't want to again.

3081
03:02:27,680 --> 03:02:30,240
Speaker 5: We're in our final ten minutes of the show, so

3082
03:02:30,360 --> 03:02:32,480
Speaker 5: I want to get in as many topics and as

3083
03:02:32,520 --> 03:02:36,199
Speaker 5: many people as possible. There are five stages of kidney disease.

3084
03:02:36,720 --> 03:02:40,600
Speaker 5: All of this is information. We can google print and

3085
03:02:40,800 --> 03:02:43,879
Speaker 5: have a doctor sit in the office and go over

3086
03:02:43,920 --> 03:02:47,480
Speaker 5: every number. But the higher the GFR the better, because

3087
03:02:47,560 --> 03:02:50,879
Speaker 5: it means your kidney is functioning. You drop below ninety

3088
03:02:51,280 --> 03:02:54,600
Speaker 5: and you're dropping and dropping in your stages of kidney

3089
03:02:54,680 --> 03:02:58,920
Speaker 5: disease are escalating. That's how that that's how that's explained.

3090
03:02:59,280 --> 03:03:01,119
Speaker 5: All right, thank you so much for calling.

3091
03:03:01,879 --> 03:03:06,000
Speaker 1: All righty serving away from the top. John's calling from Maryland.

3092
03:03:06,040 --> 03:03:09,720
Speaker 1: John's online two Grand Rising, John, you a question for doctor.

3093
03:03:09,480 --> 03:03:14,400
Speaker 7: A good morning, Good morning, Grand Rising to both of you. Already.

3094
03:03:15,240 --> 03:03:19,680
Speaker 7: I have a minor situation. I consider I'm eighty five,

3095
03:03:19,879 --> 03:03:22,439
Speaker 7: soon to be eighty six. I don't take an aspron

3096
03:03:22,640 --> 03:03:25,800
Speaker 7: no none of the problems that people have medically. But

3097
03:03:26,160 --> 03:03:29,480
Speaker 7: I'm experiencing right now a little bit of head loss,

3098
03:03:29,600 --> 03:03:32,039
Speaker 7: you know, listen, minimum in the top of my head.

3099
03:03:32,440 --> 03:03:35,520
Speaker 7: And I was wondering if there's anything that you could

3100
03:03:35,600 --> 03:03:39,800
Speaker 7: recommend that I do eighty five and don't have no problems,

3101
03:03:39,959 --> 03:03:48,560
Speaker 7: no medical problems. I don't take an aspirin, right, Okay, Well,

3102
03:03:48,680 --> 03:03:49,000
Speaker 7: first of.

3103
03:03:49,000 --> 03:03:53,080
Speaker 5: All, thank you for calling and for being triumphant in

3104
03:03:53,200 --> 03:03:55,720
Speaker 5: your health. I'm so proud of you about that.

3105
03:03:57,360 --> 03:03:57,560
Speaker 6: Care.

3106
03:03:57,680 --> 03:04:00,840
Speaker 5: Loss can come from a whole number of things, and

3107
03:04:01,000 --> 03:04:04,240
Speaker 5: the first thing is it may just be aging, right

3108
03:04:05,240 --> 03:04:09,160
Speaker 5: for some of the things. If your hair growth at

3109
03:04:09,240 --> 03:04:12,600
Speaker 5: eighty five, God bless you going on eighty six is

3110
03:04:12,800 --> 03:04:18,320
Speaker 5: slowing because you don't have as many hair follicles as

3111
03:04:18,560 --> 03:04:21,920
Speaker 5: other persons at a younger age, that would be really

3112
03:04:22,040 --> 03:04:24,800
Speaker 5: the number one reason I'm so proud of you that

3113
03:04:25,120 --> 03:04:30,080
Speaker 5: that's the biggest problem that you're facing. Alopecia, and that

3114
03:04:30,280 --> 03:04:34,840
Speaker 5: may not be what's going on, but alopecia specifically. The

3115
03:04:34,959 --> 03:04:39,440
Speaker 5: treatment is going to stimulate and read the regrowth of

3116
03:04:39,560 --> 03:04:43,520
Speaker 5: your hair, and it's going to manage inflammation. So again

3117
03:04:43,680 --> 03:04:46,840
Speaker 5: I haven't done a physical exam of you, but aging

3118
03:04:47,200 --> 03:04:52,640
Speaker 5: plus any inflammation would be things that are contributing to

3119
03:04:53,080 --> 03:04:57,000
Speaker 5: a progressive loss in what you're noticing as your hair growth.

3120
03:04:57,520 --> 03:05:01,039
Speaker 5: So some of the things you can do topical treatments.

3121
03:05:01,320 --> 03:05:08,320
Speaker 5: There's over the counter. There's prescription so monoxidol. That's rogain.

3122
03:05:09,240 --> 03:05:12,920
Speaker 5: That's a very popular treatment for hair loss. It is.

3123
03:05:15,160 --> 03:05:18,640
Speaker 7: Could you say that again, rogain R O G A

3124
03:05:19,520 --> 03:05:20,240
Speaker 7: I N E.

3125
03:05:20,680 --> 03:05:24,280
Speaker 5: Rogain that you put that twice a day on your

3126
03:05:24,360 --> 03:05:27,959
Speaker 5: scalp and that can slow the hair loss and also

3127
03:05:28,120 --> 03:05:33,360
Speaker 5: stimulate hair growth. Then there's steroids, so the use of

3128
03:05:33,480 --> 03:05:38,240
Speaker 5: cortico steroids, which you can get from as a prescription

3129
03:05:38,520 --> 03:05:42,280
Speaker 5: or over the counter from any primary care doctor. That

3130
03:05:42,440 --> 03:05:48,480
Speaker 5: can also reduce the inflammation and increase care growth. Then

3131
03:05:48,520 --> 03:05:51,760
Speaker 5: your nutrition. You want to make sure you're drinking half

3132
03:05:51,800 --> 03:05:52,959
Speaker 5: your body weight and water.

3133
03:05:53,440 --> 03:05:56,560
Speaker 10: But I want to make sure that you get scupa.

3134
03:05:56,600 --> 03:06:01,039
Speaker 7: How about if I'm consuming I do consume cannabis daily

3135
03:06:02,200 --> 03:06:03,840
Speaker 7: for the last seven right, and.

3136
03:06:03,920 --> 03:06:06,440
Speaker 1: John, we're just almost out of time, so I want

3137
03:06:06,520 --> 03:06:07,760
Speaker 1: to give a doctor a chance.

03:06:07,640 --> 03:06:09,840
Speaker 5: To wrap up pear a loss though that's not a problem.

3139

Speaker 3: Okay, thank you, all right, we do it, Thank you, John,
