And first, uh, Trump pushes 40 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 2: back on the affordability criticism in his fiery Pennsylvania speech. 41 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 2: Man he hit the road to make the case that 42 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 2: his policies have helped Americans financially and boosted the economy 43 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: opposed to know, everybody feeling this crunch that we're feeling, 44 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 2: and somehow he's not. And he delivered these remarks from 45 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 2: Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania casino that frequently resembled a campaign addressed, 46 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 2: meandering from topic to topic and lambasting that this is 47 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 2: from the website The Hill, so that's their word. Lambasting 48 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 2: his political rivals in harsh terms, as he has in 49 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 2: recent weeks, President Trump tried to simultaneously he make the 50 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 2: case that he was working to lower costs for the 51 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 2: public while dismissing the idea that affordability was a political vulnerability. 52 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: Your thoughts, Yeah, my thoughts, of course, my thoughts here. 53 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,399 Speaker 1: Here's the thoughts. He says, he's right. The Americans are prosperous. Yeah, 54 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: he's right. Not all of us, though he's billionaire, millionaire friends, 55 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: they're prosperous. And those are the ones he's around, he's 56 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: those are the people that in his circle. So they 57 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 1: all benefited from from all this what he's done. But tomorrow, tomorrow, 58 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: economists thought to Juliana Malvob be here and she'll explain it. 59 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: What the what's the difference for what's happening in the 60 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: White House and what's happened on main street? How main 61 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: Street feels about this? And we see that the portray 62 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: that coming out in some of these uh political races recently. 63 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 2: And he says that the Democrats have construed this idea 64 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 2: of affordability as a hoax. He is that, you know, 65 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 2: they always have a hoax, and their new word is affordability. 66 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: So how does he do that? 67 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 2: Is it that he's continually pointing fingers at the other 68 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 2: side of the aisle in the right? 69 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: It's always somebody else's fault, you know, It's it's Biden's 70 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: fault that the inflation is running away. It's biden fault 71 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: that the prices are high. It's not it's your tariffs. 72 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: But it's in a circle. They won't tell him that 73 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: because they also benefit from what he's doing right now. 74 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: But when you go down on the street, Uh, John Public, 75 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: American John Public, he says, Nah, were feeling that, we're 76 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: feeling that we see the increases in food. You taught 77 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: about affordability. He's right, this is what the Democrats are 78 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: jumping on ever since Moon done in New York, all 79 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: the people who are running for office, that's that's front 80 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: of center of their campaigns. Now, affordability prices are high. 81 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 2: And and so then the signs are showing up with 82 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 2: the Democratic mayor of Miami. Of Miami, Eileen Higgins was 83 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 2: elected as the first Democratic mayor in three decades, And 84 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 2: so you were saying that that represents something. 85 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: So yeah, Dr Marvin done. If you recall Kevin last week, 86 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: Doctor Marvin Dunn was here. He's fighting to stop the 87 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: President of the Trump Presidential Library to be built on 88 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: the campus of Miami Day College. And he said, a writers, 89 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: He says, look, because I asked him the question about it, 90 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: because it's heavily Latino, Hispanic, whatever term you want to 91 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: use for Miami, and they favorite Donald Trump. He says, 92 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: I'm not so sure. He says, to watch the Tuesday 93 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: mayoral race and see what happens. Because Eileen Higgins, she's 94 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: white and she's a Democrat. See what happens. See if 95 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: they prevail there, that will give you an indication. And 96 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: I guess the results are in. She won. 97 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 2: And here's what happens. She won the runoff election by 98 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: securing fifty nine percent of the votes, defeating her Republican competitor, 99 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:33,799 Speaker 2: Emilio Gonzalez, who was endorsed by President Donald J. Trump, 100 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 2: and got nearly forty one percent according to official results. 101 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 2: And so Higgins said, Miami chose a new direction. You 102 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 2: chose competence over chaos. 103 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, because because again the doctor Dunn says, because he's 104 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: heavily Hispanic, so many of them Cuban Americans like the 105 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: candidate that Donald Trump back who used to work for 106 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: Donald Trump and it came up short. What does that 107 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: say that Trump does no longer have a pulling power? 108 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: And a little of another race too, Kevin in Georgia 109 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: somewhere I sentate race where the Trump back candidate fell 110 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: short and the Democrats won that. So the Democrats are 111 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,119 Speaker 1: pretty happy this Wednesday morning. 112 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, Higgins's victory continues that string of Democratic wins and 113 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 2: Eileen Higgins sixty one also becomes the first woman to 114 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 2: be elected as the mayor in Miami. So congratulations, I 115 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 2: believe are in order there. And the Christmas miracle. National 116 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 2: Guard member who survived the DC attack is moving more. 117 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 2: He actually stood up out of his hospital bed. Remember 118 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 2: Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe, one of the two members that 119 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 2: were shot around Thanksgiving here in the nation's Capitol. And 120 00:06:54,320 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 2: the lady that was with them, specs Sergeant Sarah Beckstrom, 121 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 2: met her untimely demise because of that. But you know, 122 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 2: so they're looking at that as you know, a sign 123 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 2: of healing for that brother, that person. So anything you 124 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 2: want to say about that. 125 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: She could do anybody's feeling better is couldn't regardless of 126 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: the circumstances.

Now 151 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 2: to mention, Crockett will be facing down Maga America, which 152 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 2: has hardly gone a week without calling her ghetto or 153 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 2: it's other such crazy names.

So she they're trying to say she's 162 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: out of touch with the regular African Americans because we 163 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 1: don't go to private school and we don't go to 164 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: law school but that didn't fly. 165 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 2: Oh well, finally it's done. The House Armed Services Chair 166 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 2: sees no need to further probe the boat strike.

So 972 00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,120 Speaker 1: I'm glad to know that this will now be introduced 973 00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,920 Speaker 1: to a new generation of young people. They know the 974 00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:55,320 Speaker 1: name Malcolm X, but they don't know what They've probably 975 00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,799 Speaker 1: seen Spike's movie, but they really don't know malc If 976 00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:02,880 Speaker 1: you understand what I'm saying, Elasha, and. 977 00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:07,080 Speaker 6: You know, yeah, that's right. And you know, for the 978 00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:09,959 Speaker 6: most part, we didn't know who we were. The world 979 00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:12,680 Speaker 6: didn't know who black people were. They didn't know who 980 00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:16,480 Speaker 6: the African diaspora. They didn't know much about the diaspora 981 00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:24,520 Speaker 6: only except for slavery and many people black, white, red, yellow, Muslims, Christians, 982 00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:28,960 Speaker 6: you know, Jewish people, et cetera. The world's over. I 983 00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:34,080 Speaker 6: think that it was the roadmap that articulates our individual 984 00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:38,920 Speaker 6: and our collective purpose. Right We're always wondering who, you know, like, 985 00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:42,360 Speaker 6: what is life about? And many people were able to 986 00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:46,080 Speaker 6: discover that in this autobiography and the words of my father, 987 00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:49,640 Speaker 6: how to move forward with an identity intact. I love 988 00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:55,360 Speaker 6: that it's a big history lesson in one chapter about 989 00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:59,000 Speaker 6: what happened in the world, how we got to be 990 00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:03,560 Speaker 6: where we are, which is so inspirational, you know, and 991 00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:09,280 Speaker 6: I think that that you know, so, you know, it 992 00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:13,800 Speaker 6: shows us how to move forward with an identity intact 993 00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:19,240 Speaker 6: with philosophies we've been invoking that helps to shape human possibility. 994 00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:22,680 Speaker 6: And that's what I carry and every single course that 995 00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,640 Speaker 6: I teach to my students. You know, I'm at Worcester 996 00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:29,040 Speaker 6: State University. Well I'm not at Worcester State University right now, 997 00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:33,720 Speaker 6: but I will be back in the fall at John J. 998 00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:36,920 Speaker 6: Koch wherever I teach, I make sure that I that 999 00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:42,240 Speaker 6: I provide a curriculum to my students where they understand 1000 00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:46,360 Speaker 6: their purpose in life. That everybody has one, everybody has 1001 00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:51,080 Speaker 6: a legacy. Each one of us will inevitably transition, We 1002 00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:54,520 Speaker 6: will inevitably pass away. And so what are we doing 1003 00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:57,320 Speaker 6: with our time while we're here? How can we make 1004 00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:59,880 Speaker 6: this life meaningful? Purposeful? 1005 00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:01,480 Speaker 3: You know, give it direction. 1006 00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:04,640 Speaker 6: I think a lot of it is in the autobiography 1007 00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:07,600 Speaker 6: of Malcolm Accent. It is why many people around the 1008 00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:12,320 Speaker 6: world continue to talk about how much this book changed 1009 00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:12,840 Speaker 6: their lives. 1010 00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:15,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to pick up a new copy. I'm 1011 00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:18,560 Speaker 1: gonna keep this one for myself. But you're absolutely right, though, 1012 00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:22,960 Speaker 1: Doctor Elisha Shabbaz.

Was that pressure 1018 00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:35,600 Speaker 1: on yourself? Did you feel you had to comport to 1019 00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:38,280 Speaker 1: how people they think about your dad and they think, well, 1020 00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:40,960 Speaker 1: you must be this way, or they expect you, or 1021 00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,160 Speaker 1: you shouldn't be doing that because you're Malcolm's daughter. You 1022 00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:45,080 Speaker 1: know that kind of stuff. If you can share that 1023 00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:47,280 Speaker 1: with us, it'll appreciate it.

We'll 1045 01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:44,480 Speaker 1: give you the whole list before she leaves. But before 1046 01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:46,560 Speaker 1: we left for the break, I was my question to 1047 01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:49,000 Speaker 1: you was did you feel any undue pressure growing up 1048 01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:50,760 Speaker 1: as being the daughter of Malcolm X. 1049 01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:56,400 Speaker 6: Emails. I always tell people that my mother, with her 1050 01:00:56,480 --> 01:01:01,120 Speaker 6: six daughters, who lives in Westchester County and we live 1051 01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:06,000 Speaker 6: in a bubble of her love, a protective wing. You 1052 01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:10,320 Speaker 6: can only imagine she saw her husband killed in front 1053 01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:13,800 Speaker 6: of her. She lives through her home being firebombed with 1054 01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:18,040 Speaker 6: four babies and pregnant with the twins, and you know, 1055 01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:21,120 Speaker 6: you have to ask yourself, how is someone able to 1056 01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:29,680 Speaker 6: overcome the trauma and you know, not be bitter. My 1057 01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:36,560 Speaker 6: mother went on, she got her doctorate, She raised six daughters. 1058 01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:41,720 Speaker 6: She gave us everything that you can imagine, a great school, 1059 01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:47,840 Speaker 6: summer camp in Vermont, history lessons, tutor lessons with shake tofique, 1060 01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:54,200 Speaker 6: you know, yoga, ballet, music, everything. And I often wondered 1061 01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:57,800 Speaker 6: how was she able to overcome that and still thrive, 1062 01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:03,320 Speaker 6: you know, still be loving and kind and thoughtful. She 1063 01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:07,280 Speaker 6: never accepted no, or I can't as an answer for herself. 1064 01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:12,560 Speaker 6: She said that it was her husband, who you know, 1065 01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:16,560 Speaker 6: gave her a better sense of her purpose as a mother, 1066 01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:20,360 Speaker 6: as a wife, as a woman, as a civic leader. 1067 01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:24,480 Speaker 6: And so she instilled that in all in her children, 1068 01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:28,240 Speaker 6: all these great values. Right our house was the lively 1069 01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:31,400 Speaker 6: house to come to because there were six girls there. 1070 01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:37,680 Speaker 6: And it wasn't until I went to college. I was fifteen. 1071 01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:41,040 Speaker 6: In July turned sixteen, I went to a pre you 1072 01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:44,080 Speaker 6: know pre camp thing went to camp. Everybody, I mean 1073 01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:47,160 Speaker 6: to college, Everyone's like, oh my god, you're Ncomis's daughter. 1074 01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:49,880 Speaker 6: And it was overwhelming because I had gone to an 1075 01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:53,320 Speaker 6: all girls prep boarding school. You know, I was living 1076 01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:57,320 Speaker 6: under the protective wing of Betty Shabaz, and there were 1077 01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:01,000 Speaker 6: just things that you did not know, did not learn. 1078 01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:04,800 Speaker 6: And you think that people are the same as they 1079 01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:08,320 Speaker 6: are within your household, right, that they're kind, that they're loving, 1080 01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:12,000 Speaker 6: that they're trustworthy, they have your best interests, and so yes, 1081 01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,520 Speaker 6: I was overwhelmed. And I remember calling my oldest sister 1082 01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:18,520 Speaker 6: and asking her who am I supposed to be as 1083 01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:21,240 Speaker 6: Malcolm X's daughter? What am I supposed to you know, do? 1084 01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:23,439 Speaker 6: And she said, you don't have to pass the test 1085 01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:26,240 Speaker 6: to be Malcolm's daughter, you already are. So those were 1086 01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:31,479 Speaker 6: the kinds of expectations, I guess, you know which many 1087 01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:36,840 Speaker 6: young people experience expectations, bully, peer pressure and so forth. 1088 01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:40,880 Speaker 6: But I think the greatest gift that my parents gave 1089 01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:45,400 Speaker 6: me was the opportunity to love who I am as 1090 01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:49,520 Speaker 6: I am, and that was because of the history lessons 1091 01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:52,200 Speaker 6: that my mother made sure we learned. It was the 1092 01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:56,120 Speaker 6: art that represented us and the diaspora in our household. 1093 01:03:56,880 --> 01:04:00,880 Speaker 6: We learned about the significant contributions that win men made 1094 01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,920 Speaker 6: to the world, that Islam made to the world, and 1095 01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:08,040 Speaker 6: that the African diaspora as the first world nation right 1096 01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:13,720 Speaker 6: made to the world, and so that we were equipped 1097 01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:18,240 Speaker 6: to love who we were and not rely on others 1098 01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:21,400 Speaker 6: to determine our self worth. And I think it's because 1099 01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:24,760 Speaker 6: of that, you know, it enables me to see you 1100 01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:27,040 Speaker 6: as a reflection of me, and me as a reflection 1101 01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:32,240 Speaker 6: of you, and you know, and teach share do whatever 1102 01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:36,040 Speaker 6: I can when I see injustice of one kind against 1103 01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:40,000 Speaker 6: any human being. Right, and Islam taught us. You know, 1104 01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:43,320 Speaker 6: you believe in one God. Hence you believe in one man, 1105 01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:46,640 Speaker 6: one woman. Right, We're all the same. We're all God's children, 1106 01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:49,040 Speaker 6: We're all brothers and sisters under the fatherhood of God. 1107 01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:51,960 Speaker 6: So I didn't I'm not going to say that I 1108 01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:57,440 Speaker 6: had really huge challenges because whenever I had questions, I 1109 01:04:57,640 --> 01:05:00,040 Speaker 6: always went back to my mother, you know, or I 1110 01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:03,320 Speaker 6: went to my eldest sister and they explained it, and 1111 01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:06,920 Speaker 6: I thought, okay, well you know that, you know, because 1112 01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:11,640 Speaker 6: everything was like a It just it worked for me 1113 01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:17,240 Speaker 6: and I knew that they loved me, and I think 1114 01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:18,800 Speaker 6: that really made such a difference. 1115 01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:22,880 Speaker 1: Gotcha twenty five off the top of another person who 1116 01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,640 Speaker 1: loved Malcolm loved you as well.

I know you have a question for doctor 1131 01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:13,120 Speaker 1: Elisha Shabaz, Peter, No, I. 1132 01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:16,880 Speaker 3: Just listen to her what you're doing it And as 1133 01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:21,840 Speaker 3: I listened, I understood what she was saying because I 1134 01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:25,480 Speaker 3: knew her mother and her father and and they were 1135 01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:29,720 Speaker 3: the kind of people that you learned from and uh 1136 01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:33,640 Speaker 3: to me, they I referred to them as they were 1137 01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:37,880 Speaker 3: both master teachers. And I think it there's no more 1138 01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:42,720 Speaker 3: important a person in a in a in a child's life, 1139 01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:45,680 Speaker 3: and in a young person's life been a master teacher, 1140 01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:49,800 Speaker 3: and that is someone who is a serious human being 1141 01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:53,400 Speaker 3: who understands who told us about what the world is 1142 01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:56,000 Speaker 3: all about and him to who their pastor is on 1143 01:06:56,240 --> 01:07:02,480 Speaker 3: that it's mad two younger people. And so I regard 1144 01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:08,520 Speaker 3: uh brother Malcolm ANCESTRETI. They were both master teachers and 1145 01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:12,439 Speaker 3: and I learned from them. Uh and and they're both 1146 01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:18,720 Speaker 3: having tremendous uh responsibility for the things that I've been 1147 01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,320 Speaker 3: able to do. You know, since I've been around up, 1148 01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:25,800 Speaker 3: I tried to pass on the information about them when 1149 01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:29,160 Speaker 3: I speak to you know, to to to buy. So 1150 01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:33,040 Speaker 3: my family members and other young people today that that 1151 01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:36,200 Speaker 3: that both of them and this is what I tell 1152 01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:40,240 Speaker 3: both tell everybody that I talked to about them that 1153 01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:45,040 Speaker 3: they were both master teachers and and that if you 1154 01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:48,680 Speaker 3: want to if you're trying to know how we function 1155 01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,959 Speaker 3: in this world, then you should read what they said, 1156 01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:55,360 Speaker 3: what they wrote and and and what they left us 1157 01:07:56,200 --> 01:08:01,520 Speaker 3: uh with people. So uh, that's that's critical for me 1158 01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:04,200 Speaker 3: the factory. They were both master teachers. 1159 01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:07,640 Speaker 1: Well, well let me ask he asked you this what 1160 01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:09,960 Speaker 1: Peter said about being master teachers and what your mother 1161 01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:12,400 Speaker 1: and your dad do you think that's why you sort 1162 01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:15,160 Speaker 1: of went into the profession as a teacher or professor. 1163 01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:20,320 Speaker 6: Well, you know, that was sort of accidental. You know, 1164 01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:23,719 Speaker 6: I started off I was going to be a medical doctor, 1165 01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:30,360 Speaker 6: and you know, something happened and education, you know, I 1166 01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:34,160 Speaker 6: went I mentored young people while I was in school, 1167 01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:37,800 Speaker 6: and I just saw that their fired, their light was out, 1168 01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:43,680 Speaker 6: and I didn't quite understand why. And then for me, 1169 01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:47,479 Speaker 6: it was just very important that they got the same 1170 01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:50,960 Speaker 6: kind of tutelage that my parents gave me, you know, 1171 01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:55,280 Speaker 6: and that was a curriculum that enabled and allowed them 1172 01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:56,080 Speaker 6: to love. 1173 01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:58,559 Speaker 3: Who they are just as they are. 1174 01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:01,479 Speaker 6: So my children's book Malcolm, the Boy Who Grew Up 1175 01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:05,400 Speaker 6: to Become X Malcolm Little, my my other books Growing 1176 01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:08,960 Speaker 6: Up X et cetera, et cetera. All of those books 1177 01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:12,360 Speaker 6: are so that when you turn a page, you're learning 1178 01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:15,880 Speaker 6: a little about history, you're learning some lessons, you're learning 1179 01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:19,519 Speaker 6: some values through the eyes of others. But and you're 1180 01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:22,840 Speaker 6: also seeing a reflection of yourself. Right, You're seeing a 1181 01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:28,040 Speaker 6: reflection of a person of the African you know, ancestry, 1182 01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:32,280 Speaker 6: and and you're learning, you know, about yourself. And it's funny, 1183 01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:37,720 Speaker 6: as I listened to a Peter Bailey saying that I 1184 01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:41,720 Speaker 6: realize and I'm so blessed and I feel so you know, 1185 01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:45,200 Speaker 6: grateful to have had my parents because my life has been, 1186 01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:50,720 Speaker 6: you know, a great learning experience and understanding.

They were not. 1200 01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:48,200 Speaker 3: They were human beings, just like we were and and 1201 01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:50,479 Speaker 3: and and but they were they were able to do 1202 01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:54,839 Speaker 3: it they do because they both ought. They both learned, 1203 01:10:55,880 --> 01:11:01,400 Speaker 3: they understood the imported from learning. They read, they traveled, 1204 01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:06,519 Speaker 3: they uh uh kept on top of things, you know, 1205 01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:10,120 Speaker 3: they listened, to the radio, they watched television, and they 1206 01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:14,280 Speaker 3: did this because not for any any because they learned 1207 01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:17,880 Speaker 3: from them. And then the information that they learned from 1208 01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:20,960 Speaker 3: doing that they passed on to us. 1209 01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:23,360 Speaker 1: And and and to me. 1210 01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:30,040 Speaker 3: Uh, that whole process of learning and and we well 1211 01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:33,320 Speaker 3: see we don't see and especially in this in this 1212 01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:39,000 Speaker 3: country today, this the importance of learning and from from 1213 01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:43,320 Speaker 3: from from from important people from from uh, from people 1214 01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:48,000 Speaker 3: who who care about you, because you know, I that's 1215 01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:54,320 Speaker 3: the teacher cares and when you listen to them, you 1216 01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:57,840 Speaker 3: can see that they care.

And and to me, that's 1227 01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:44,519 Speaker 3: just absolutely critical. That's uh. When you when you take 1228 01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:47,160 Speaker 3: up what I think about today, what I think about 1229 01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:50,479 Speaker 3: my own you know, my birth and grandparents, and my 1230 01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:54,080 Speaker 3: mom and dad and those kind of folks.

Uh when 1345 01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:37,560 Speaker 6: my father, you know, I often when I look and 1346 01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:40,920 Speaker 6: think of my father, I always hear him say, we 1347 01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:44,120 Speaker 6: didn't land on Plymouth Rock. The rock lands it on us. 1348 01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:46,759 Speaker 6: And I would look at the pictures of the people 1349 01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:49,760 Speaker 6: in the audience. You know, they're in Harlem, they're on 1350 01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:53,519 Speaker 6: the street, thousands and thousands of people, and I see 1351 01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:57,120 Speaker 6: young boys looking up at my father, and women and 1352 01:18:57,400 --> 01:19:01,160 Speaker 6: grown people. Because we did not know. 1353 01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:02,040 Speaker 16: Who we were. 1354 01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:05,240 Speaker 6: We didn't even know where we came from. And some 1355 01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:07,680 Speaker 6: of us even still today, we don't know where we 1356 01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:09,720 Speaker 6: came from. We don't know who we are. But we're 1357 01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:12,160 Speaker 6: learning more and more. I think, you know, there's a 1358 01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:16,880 Speaker 6: global consciousness of awareness which is just great. And you 1359 01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:19,639 Speaker 6: know it's our young people. But I think the adults 1360 01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:22,800 Speaker 6: we have to, you know, those of us who were 1361 01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:27,960 Speaker 6: inspired by the autobiography of Malcolms New York Times Best 1362 01:19:28,600 --> 01:19:32,000 Speaker 6: on the New York Times bestseller List since nineteen sixty 1363 01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:36,600 Speaker 6: five sixty six, we have to make sure that we 1364 01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:39,800 Speaker 6: are passing these books on to our children, that we 1365 01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:43,040 Speaker 6: are passing this information on when my father said, we 1366 01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:45,960 Speaker 6: didn't land on Plymouth Rock, the rock landed on us. 1367 01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:52,240 Speaker 6: He unlifted. You know, the legacy of that Christopher Columbus, 1368 01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:56,880 Speaker 6: you know, came with this notion of mis education. And 1369 01:19:57,360 --> 01:20:01,599 Speaker 6: what I love from chapter ten t after eleven, it's 1370 01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:02,560 Speaker 6: this whole. 1371 01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:05,200 Speaker 11: Like history lesson. 1372 01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:09,919 Speaker 6: You know that we were already here before Christopher Columbus. 1373 01:20:10,160 --> 01:20:11,960 Speaker 11: We were all over the world. 1374 01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:17,600 Speaker 6: Before Christopher Columbus. The legacy of Christopher Columbus, and you know, 1375 01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:23,000 Speaker 6: it is important that you know that this book fills 1376 01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:25,720 Speaker 6: in the blanks. We should know who we are, we 1377 01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:31,000 Speaker 6: should know why, you know why we're here. And I 1378 01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:34,000 Speaker 6: think I was going somewhere along that it was something 1379 01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:37,720 Speaker 6: about the something about Plymouth Rock landed on us and 1380 01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:41,639 Speaker 6: wanting to put it in perspective now as an older person. 1381 01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:47,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let me just say this a twelve way 1382 01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:50,080 Speaker 1: from the top.

They're confused. 1385 01:20:56,560 --> 01:20:59,840 Speaker 6: This is what It's unfortunate. Yeah, and I don't know 1386 01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:03,760 Speaker 6: it's right. And it's almost like, you see, that's why 1387 01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:05,920 Speaker 6: this book is great. Right when he says, you have 1388 01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:08,360 Speaker 6: to learn to think for yourself. Right, you need to know, 1389 01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:13,600 Speaker 6: like the a whole lot of things that's right in 1390 01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:15,320 Speaker 6: that book.

There was a bunch of people there, 1455 01:24:56,920 --> 01:25:00,720 Speaker 6: Ben Crump, Jerry Lorenzo, Kyrie Irving. You know. The list 1456 01:25:00,840 --> 01:25:04,160 Speaker 6: goes on and on. We've been having events to celebrate 1457 01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:11,320 Speaker 6: Malcolm since May nineteen, twenty twenty five, and they will 1458 01:25:11,400 --> 01:25:17,400 Speaker 6: continue to go on through the end of twenty twenty six. Yes, 1459 01:25:17,640 --> 01:25:21,640 Speaker 6: but you know, it's so important that all of the 1460 01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:25,680 Speaker 6: adults bring young people. You know, we are the recipients 1461 01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:31,600 Speaker 6: of a lot of great work that continues. You know, 1462 01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:37,040 Speaker 6: people are continuing, continually trying to erase and it is 1463 01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:40,760 Speaker 6: our responsibility. Just as my mother made sure when her 1464 01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:44,200 Speaker 6: husband was assassinated, and then you see there are pictures 1465 01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:46,719 Speaker 6: of my father teaching his girls when he was still alive, 1466 01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:50,479 Speaker 6: but when her husband was assassinated, she made sure that 1467 01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:55,240 Speaker 6: her girls learned at home. It is our responsibility to 1468 01:25:55,320 --> 01:26:00,720 Speaker 6: do that. And so when all of these beautiful, incredible 1469 01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:05,240 Speaker 6: individuals who passed on legacies to us, these master teachers, 1470 01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:10,040 Speaker 6: as Apeter Bailey shared, it is now our responsibilities to 1471 01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:15,639 Speaker 6: as the recipients, to grab on to some young people 1472 01:26:15,800 --> 01:26:18,280 Speaker 6: and do the same. Because one of the things that 1473 01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:24,519 Speaker 6: I have experienced is that you know, we learn, we 1474 01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:29,679 Speaker 6: know about the civil rights movement, but what immediately followed 1475 01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:33,439 Speaker 6: after the civil rights movement was the war on drugs, 1476 01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:37,080 Speaker 6: And so we need to make sure that we are 1477 01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:41,120 Speaker 6: holding our young people close that we are communicating with them, 1478 01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:44,000 Speaker 6: and that we're sharing our stories with them so that 1479 01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:47,639 Speaker 6: they can do the same. Otherwise, fifty years from now, 1480 01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:52,120 Speaker 6: other people are planning, they're strategizing, they're removing our history, 1481 01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:55,040 Speaker 6: they are taking over, they are doing a whole lot 1482 01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:59,720 Speaker 6: of things. And if we're not doing anything but enjoying ourselves, 1483 01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:03,040 Speaker 6: then what happens to our to that history? You know? 1484 01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:07,360 Speaker 6: And as I wrote and Betty before X, when Betty 1485 01:27:07,439 --> 01:27:12,160 Speaker 6: saw her mother tell her that this information is not important, 1486 01:27:12,720 --> 01:27:16,160 Speaker 6: right that, and she threw that information because Betty was 1487 01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:19,360 Speaker 6: reading a newspaper where she saw a riot happening, she 1488 01:27:19,479 --> 01:27:20,320 Speaker 6: threw it in the trash. 1489 01:27:20,360 --> 01:27:22,439 Speaker 3: And she said, is that what we are do? 1490 01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:26,120 Speaker 6: We just throw our information away in a trash, you know? 1491 01:27:26,320 --> 01:27:29,200 Speaker 6: And you know, and so it's our responsibility to make 1492 01:27:29,280 --> 01:27:33,799 Speaker 6: sure that we are sharing this information, grabbing the hands 1493 01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:36,960 Speaker 6: of our young people and bringing them to programs that 1494 01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:40,680 Speaker 6: share this kind of information. And you know, and at 1495 01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:44,320 Speaker 6: some point those seeds that are planted in them will sprout. 1496 01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:48,040 Speaker 6: Well it might not be immediate, but they will eventually sprout, 1497 01:27:48,200 --> 01:27:51,760 Speaker 6: just like they did for Malcolm. Malcolm had parents that 1498 01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:54,920 Speaker 6: were in that is, stilled specific values. He did not 1499 01:27:55,040 --> 01:27:58,080 Speaker 6: go to jail and miraculously walk out as Malcolm X. 1500 01:27:58,479 --> 01:28:02,080 Speaker 6: He went to jail running from his identity against the 1501 01:28:02,200 --> 01:28:06,160 Speaker 6: backdrop of Jim Crow. And when he was in jail, 1502 01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:09,040 Speaker 6: he was able to face all from which he was running, 1503 01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:12,320 Speaker 6: and he was provided with all of these books that 1504 01:28:12,479 --> 01:28:16,160 Speaker 6: he read. He was on the debate team, he debated 1505 01:28:16,200 --> 01:28:20,400 Speaker 6: about capital punishment. There's just so much you know about 1506 01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:22,880 Speaker 6: Malcolm that we don't know, and we don't know because 1507 01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:28,040 Speaker 6: it negates the importance of family and the importance of mentors. 1508 01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:31,320 Speaker 6: And so you know, it is important that we grab 1509 01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:35,240 Speaker 6: these young people and we bring them to the program ourselves. 1510 01:28:37,680 --> 01:28:38,960 Speaker 1: And I got to ask you this question. Do you 1511 01:28:39,040 --> 01:28:41,479 Speaker 1: think had he not gone to prison, he would still 1512 01:28:41,520 --> 01:28:43,599 Speaker 1: be the same Malcolm that we know of today. 1513 01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:47,120 Speaker 6: Well, I think if Jim Crow didn't exist, yes, he 1514 01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:53,599 Speaker 6: would be the same compassionate, organizer, leader, master, teacher, all 1515 01:28:53,680 --> 01:28:56,519 Speaker 6: of those things because of the values that were instilled 1516 01:28:56,560 --> 01:29:00,040 Speaker 6: in him by his parents. You know, it is we 1517 01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:05,200 Speaker 6: forget what happened during slavery, We forget the trauma who 1518 01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:08,639 Speaker 6: comes up with these kinds of things. We forget the trauma. 1519 01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:15,000 Speaker 6: We forget what happened after that with Jim Crow, what 1520 01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:18,000 Speaker 6: about Tulsa, What about Lake Lamier. You know, there's so 1521 01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:21,479 Speaker 6: many horrible things that have happened. Look at the young 1522 01:29:22,360 --> 01:29:24,640 Speaker 6: babies who are taken. Look at the people who are 1523 01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:28,320 Speaker 6: now being taken, you know, and shipped off to the 1524 01:29:28,600 --> 01:29:31,280 Speaker 6: Latin world, you know, who are born here. I mean, 1525 01:29:31,320 --> 01:29:35,759 Speaker 6: there's so much horror, you know that continues to happen. 1526 01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:38,960 Speaker 6: And it's not until the majority of people around the 1527 01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:42,799 Speaker 6: world who were good people come together and then figure 1528 01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:46,000 Speaker 6: out how are we going to move forward? And so 1529 01:29:46,640 --> 01:29:49,120 Speaker 6: you know, it is the reason I say that we 1530 01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:52,519 Speaker 6: want to build a future that's rooted in love, that's 1531 01:29:52,600 --> 01:29:56,200 Speaker 6: rooted in courage, justice and the commitment to peace and 1532 01:29:56,320 --> 01:30:00,000 Speaker 6: human dignity for everybody. And we have to have compacts 1533 01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:04,040 Speaker 6: for Black people. We need compassion for latinas, we need 1534 01:30:04,160 --> 01:30:07,640 Speaker 6: compassion for Palestinians. We need compassion for the people and 1535 01:30:07,760 --> 01:30:10,800 Speaker 6: congo for I mean, all around the world, the same 1536 01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:14,360 Speaker 6: thing is happening by the same kind of people. It's 1537 01:30:14,439 --> 01:30:17,519 Speaker 6: happening by bad people to good people. So let the 1538 01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:22,080 Speaker 6: good people come together and not focus on our complexions. Right, 1539 01:30:22,600 --> 01:30:25,240 Speaker 6: that's an opportunity for us to learn and build and 1540 01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:27,000 Speaker 6: be better human beings. 1541 01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:30,240 Speaker 1: Listen, We've got to check the traffic.

This is why ostro Quasi tells us all 1601 01:33:04,040 --> 01:33:06,519 Speaker 1: the time, know thyself.

We have made a 1617 01:33:54,680 --> 01:33:57,800 Speaker 11: few accomplishments, Carl, but when it comes to the health 1618 01:33:57,960 --> 01:34:00,600 Speaker 11: of the black woman, we have to say the l 1619 01:34:01,120 --> 01:34:03,840 Speaker 11: We get an F at the end of twenty twenty five. 1620 01:34:04,200 --> 01:34:07,240 Speaker 11: And it's not because we are losers. It's because the 1621 01:34:07,400 --> 01:34:10,320 Speaker 11: United States of America that brought us here for the 1622 01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:14,040 Speaker 11: most part in shackles, that brought us here as the 1623 01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:17,120 Speaker 11: backbone of America, that brought us here as the mule 1624 01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:21,200 Speaker 11: of this country, not just to breastfeed white men and 1625 01:34:21,360 --> 01:34:25,040 Speaker 11: all other babies, not just to pick the cotton, not 1626 01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:27,880 Speaker 11: just to be raped and mutilated. So we have a 1627 01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:32,559 Speaker 11: full spectrum of color from the motherland. But we also 1628 01:34:33,479 --> 01:34:38,120 Speaker 11: have failed to basically be acknowledged by this country. The 1629 01:34:38,240 --> 01:34:44,280 Speaker 11: structural racism in America has resulted, Carl, in death statistics 1630 01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:45,800 Speaker 11: for pregnant Black. 1631 01:34:45,600 --> 01:34:48,519 Speaker 16: Women that are no different than the nineteen thirties. 1632 01:34:48,880 --> 01:34:50,680 Speaker 11: That that is one hundred years. 1633 01:34:50,439 --> 01:34:51,400 Speaker 16: Ago, damn near. 1634 01:34:51,800 --> 01:34:54,320 Speaker 11: So the point is we do get an f and 1635 01:34:54,520 --> 01:34:58,120 Speaker 11: until we as black women take our own accountability and 1636 01:34:58,240 --> 01:35:01,960 Speaker 11: become responsible for our our own excellence and healthcare, Caral, 1637 01:35:02,120 --> 01:35:04,360 Speaker 11: we're going to continue to be failed by this country. 1638 01:35:04,600 --> 01:35:07,400 Speaker 11: This country was not built for us. They labeled us 1639 01:35:07,520 --> 01:35:11,719 Speaker 11: three fifths of a human being. That's not an accident, Carl, 1640 01:35:12,040 --> 01:35:15,360 Speaker 11: They put that into law. So the way black women 1641 01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:18,040 Speaker 11: are treated in twenty twenty five, we haven't. 1642 01:35:17,840 --> 01:35:20,240 Speaker 16: Come that far from that three fifths of the human being. 1643 01:35:20,680 --> 01:35:22,920 Speaker 16: We are failing. The country is failing us. 1644 01:35:24,400 --> 01:35:29,240 Speaker 1: Having said that, what can we do doctor a accountability, Carl. 1645 01:35:29,600 --> 01:35:33,160 Speaker 11: The beauty of the error that we live in right now, 1646 01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:36,400 Speaker 11: we are not the slaves on the plantation who would 1647 01:35:36,400 --> 01:35:40,120 Speaker 11: be whooped, if not killed, for being literate. There is 1648 01:35:40,280 --> 01:35:43,920 Speaker 11: no excuse for Black America not to be literate. It 1649 01:35:44,040 --> 01:35:47,240 Speaker 11: is no longer the law that we cannot gather and 1650 01:35:47,320 --> 01:35:48,320 Speaker 11: that we cannot read. 1651 01:35:48,760 --> 01:35:52,200 Speaker 16: We should be a very, very actively. 1652 01:35:51,840 --> 01:35:55,599 Speaker 11: Reading group of people people in this country that are 1653 01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:59,320 Speaker 11: African American, people in this country that are of color. 1654 01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:03,120 Speaker 11: We need to turn the TV off, Carl. Okay, all 1655 01:36:03,240 --> 01:36:08,280 Speaker 11: this Netflix and Paramount and the foolishness and the indoctrination. 1656 01:36:08,560 --> 01:36:12,720 Speaker 11: Can we stop it? Do we recognize what happened when 1657 01:36:12,760 --> 01:36:15,240 Speaker 11: the television was created and there were. 1658 01:36:15,160 --> 01:36:17,120 Speaker 16: No black images whatsoever. 1659 01:36:17,640 --> 01:36:25,280 Speaker 11: It was a new means to mentally and emotionally, psychologically demoralize. 1660 01:36:24,400 --> 01:36:26,519 Speaker 16: African people, and we bought into it. 1661 01:36:26,800 --> 01:36:29,880 Speaker 11: We are the most TV watching population, We are the 1662 01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:34,000 Speaker 11: most social media engaged population. Our ethnicity has got to 1663 01:36:34,240 --> 01:36:39,639 Speaker 11: dis engage from the media. Disconnect from the media except 1664 01:36:39,680 --> 01:36:40,679 Speaker 11: the Carl Nelson Show. 1665 01:36:40,760 --> 01:36:43,280 Speaker 16: Okay, we want to stay engaged. 1666 01:36:42,840 --> 01:36:49,320 Speaker 11: In revolutionary thinking, thinking that allows us to express authenticity. 1667 01:36:49,600 --> 01:36:52,920 Speaker 11: But when it comes to the indoctrination on the boob tube, 1668 01:36:53,240 --> 01:36:55,160 Speaker 11: we've got to turn it off and read a few 1669 01:36:55,240 --> 01:36:58,160 Speaker 11: more books. Carl we need to know our history, Carl. 1670 01:36:58,360 --> 01:37:01,680 Speaker 11: We have a whole generation of children that don't even 1671 01:37:01,760 --> 01:37:03,040 Speaker 11: know about September eleventh. 1672 01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:07,280 Speaker 1: Now, yeah, that's and that's sad that you know, we 1673 01:37:07,439 --> 01:37:09,240 Speaker 1: have to do better. And one of the things too, 1674 01:37:09,320 --> 01:37:12,280 Speaker 1: you mentioned those those some of those movies and events 1675 01:37:12,320 --> 01:37:15,320 Speaker 1: that are on TV. We what we do internalize them 1676 01:37:15,360 --> 01:37:18,200 Speaker 1: and mimic them. We seem to have a protective activity, 1677 01:37:18,240 --> 01:37:21,479 Speaker 1: if you will, to act out what we see on TV. 1678 01:37:22,120 --> 01:37:24,920 Speaker 1: How do we break that? Though? Is this is something 1679 01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:26,400 Speaker 1: mental and emotional. 1680 01:37:26,120 --> 01:37:29,800 Speaker 11: Issues that some of us have, Well, that's such a 1681 01:37:30,080 --> 01:37:33,360 Speaker 11: poignant question, Carl. The bottom line is this, we do 1682 01:37:33,600 --> 01:37:36,360 Speaker 11: have to believe science. So no more so than we 1683 01:37:36,400 --> 01:37:38,759 Speaker 11: should be walking around talking about the world is flat 1684 01:37:38,880 --> 01:37:40,640 Speaker 11: and that sounds ignorant. 1685 01:37:40,240 --> 01:37:43,320 Speaker 16: When we know it's round. We should not be walking 1686 01:37:43,479 --> 01:37:48,479 Speaker 16: around aware that we were enslaved people. And we're in 1687 01:37:48,600 --> 01:37:49,960 Speaker 16: a country that wants us to. 1688 01:37:50,320 --> 01:37:54,960 Speaker 6: Remember the Holocaust, Remember the Alamo, remember. 1689 01:37:54,800 --> 01:37:56,920 Speaker 11: Everything except slavery. 1690 01:37:57,280 --> 01:37:57,519 Speaker 16: Okay. 1691 01:37:57,920 --> 01:38:02,400 Speaker 11: Donald Trump wants to delete REAC and anything that makes 1692 01:38:02,479 --> 01:38:06,479 Speaker 11: a white man feel bad about himself or ashamed of himself, 1693 01:38:06,760 --> 01:38:09,400 Speaker 11: or feel some sense of guilt. He wants to burn 1694 01:38:09,520 --> 01:38:13,840 Speaker 11: those books, ban those books, eliminate that education. He wants 1695 01:38:13,920 --> 01:38:17,479 Speaker 11: to eliminate the fact that we have Martin Luther King 1696 01:38:17,640 --> 01:38:20,720 Speaker 11: Day and make Trump Day. He wants to eliminate the 1697 01:38:20,760 --> 01:38:23,240 Speaker 11: Golf of Mexico and call it the Golf of America. 1698 01:38:23,520 --> 01:38:27,360 Speaker 11: He wants to rewrite Google Maps. If our children are 1699 01:38:27,479 --> 01:38:31,160 Speaker 11: not educated, we are really in deep, deep trouble. 1700 01:38:31,200 --> 01:38:34,439 Speaker 1: Carl got you ten a half of the top of 1701 01:38:34,479 --> 01:38:36,800 Speaker 1: the are and family.

And let me just say to 1734 01:40:54,560 --> 01:40:58,879 Speaker 11: the nationwide audience some things that you spoke are quite potent. 1735 01:40:59,520 --> 01:41:03,640 Speaker 11: Number One one, we're praying people as African people. We 1736 01:41:03,760 --> 01:41:07,400 Speaker 11: knew about prayer before slavery was ever created. We know 1737 01:41:07,560 --> 01:41:12,280 Speaker 11: about prayer before dehumanization was ever actualized. We know about 1738 01:41:12,360 --> 01:41:17,880 Speaker 11: prayer before global colonization ever took place. We have an 1739 01:41:18,200 --> 01:41:22,000 Speaker 11: abnormal access to the creator, we really do. We have 1740 01:41:22,120 --> 01:41:25,320 Speaker 11: a supernatural access to the creator. And this is what 1741 01:41:25,520 --> 01:41:28,640 Speaker 11: Sondras Robinson called to talk about. She talks about the 1742 01:41:28,680 --> 01:41:31,559 Speaker 11: word love. Well, let me tell you something, African people. 1743 01:41:32,120 --> 01:41:35,080 Speaker 11: There are vibratory tones, regardless of. 1744 01:41:35,280 --> 01:41:40,000 Speaker 16: Language, that come across. Even a plant and an animal. 1745 01:41:39,960 --> 01:41:45,200 Speaker 11: Can receive the energy and the vibrations of hatred, demoralization, 1746 01:41:45,880 --> 01:41:52,400 Speaker 11: degradation versus upliftment, empowerment, and love. There are actual movies. 1747 01:41:52,560 --> 01:41:54,280 Speaker 16: There's what the bleep do we know? 1748 01:41:54,640 --> 01:41:58,160 Speaker 11: An excellent DVD that talks about how you can actually 1749 01:41:58,439 --> 01:42:02,680 Speaker 11: change the vibratory innergy of water. You can pour a 1750 01:42:02,800 --> 01:42:07,400 Speaker 11: glass of water and watch the atoms change. 1751 01:42:07,200 --> 01:42:10,400 Speaker 16: When you speak hatred versus when you speak love. 1752 01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:13,640 Speaker 11: You can have a plant in your house caral and 1753 01:42:14,800 --> 01:42:19,000 Speaker 11: nurture that plant verbally verbally, the same as we do 1754 01:42:19,160 --> 01:42:22,879 Speaker 11: with Black children. Nurture the plant and watch it prosper 1755 01:42:23,280 --> 01:42:26,360 Speaker 11: versus speak hate and venom to the plant and watch 1756 01:42:26,439 --> 01:42:29,599 Speaker 11: it deteriorate. The same is true, Caral for the cells 1757 01:42:29,680 --> 01:42:32,439 Speaker 11: of our body. So many of us are wrapped up 1758 01:42:32,479 --> 01:42:34,920 Speaker 11: in self hatred. Many of us are wrapped up in 1759 01:42:35,080 --> 01:42:38,120 Speaker 11: low self esteem. We are the opposite of what Sondra 1760 01:42:38,280 --> 01:42:41,960 Speaker 11: Robinson just spoke, empowering ourselves with love. And guess what 1761 01:42:42,400 --> 01:42:47,719 Speaker 11: that helps to manifest? Disease. So, yes, a woke consciousness, okay, 1762 01:42:47,800 --> 01:42:52,120 Speaker 11: which Trump hates, But it's a fact of not being 1763 01:42:52,320 --> 01:42:58,240 Speaker 11: dumbed down, not being manipulated, not being controlled, not being demoralized, 1764 01:42:58,280 --> 01:43:03,240 Speaker 11: and not being programmed by his media largely controlled. 1765 01:43:02,800 --> 01:43:05,640 Speaker 16: Now his cronies, all of it. 1766 01:43:06,080 --> 01:43:10,320 Speaker 11: We see conglomerates of media, Carl being monopolized. It's like 1767 01:43:10,400 --> 01:43:12,680 Speaker 11: the Monopoly game has come to life at the end 1768 01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:15,360 Speaker 11: of twenty twenty five. And if we don't wake up, 1769 01:43:15,760 --> 01:43:21,640 Speaker 11: start listening to Carl Nelson and other specified engaged programming, 1770 01:43:21,840 --> 01:43:26,559 Speaker 11: and then disconnect and begin to read. You know, back 1771 01:43:26,760 --> 01:43:29,519 Speaker 11: when I was born, Carl, my mother used to take me, 1772 01:43:30,080 --> 01:43:33,599 Speaker 11: even before I could go to daycare, to these think tanks. 1773 01:43:34,320 --> 01:43:37,720 Speaker 11: Black power think tanks were all over the country. We've 1774 01:43:37,800 --> 01:43:42,040 Speaker 11: stopped that over a generation ago. We've got three generations 1775 01:43:42,080 --> 01:43:45,360 Speaker 11: now that did not benefit from think tank curl. So 1776 01:43:45,479 --> 01:43:50,240 Speaker 11: guess what we have dumbed down people, dumbed down people. 1777 01:43:50,360 --> 01:43:55,040 Speaker 11: It's not biological, it's conditioning. It's not nature, it's nurture. 1778 01:43:55,280 --> 01:43:57,759 Speaker 11: We're not nurturing the African spirit. 1779 01:43:59,120 --> 01:44:01,320 Speaker 1: All right, They've got a step aside, but we do it. 1780 01:44:01,479 --> 01:44:03,320 Speaker 1: I got a tweet question for you, and I'll let 1781 01:44:03,360 --> 01:44:05,679 Speaker 1: you think about this tweet while we take a break. 1782 01:44:05,800 --> 01:44:09,080 Speaker 1: A tweeter, says a grand rising doctor A.

And you've got questions still, maybe you're 1806 01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:10,519 Speaker 1: too embarrassed to ask. You don't have to use your 1807 01:45:10,560 --> 01:45:13,400 Speaker 1: real name or your real city. But take advantage because 1808 01:45:13,400 --> 01:45:15,360 Speaker 1: you know what's coming up, the Obamacare. They're trying to 1809 01:45:15,360 --> 01:45:16,680 Speaker 1: get rid of that, so it's going to cost you 1810 01:45:16,800 --> 01:45:19,400 Speaker 1: more at the end of the year. It started next year, 1811 01:45:19,479 --> 01:45:21,680 Speaker 1: so this is you keep that in the back of 1812 01:45:21,760 --> 01:45:24,720 Speaker 1: your mind if you have any health concerns, and you know, 1813 01:45:25,200 --> 01:45:27,720 Speaker 1: you're sort of apprehensive of speaking with the guys in 1814 01:45:27,760 --> 01:45:29,680 Speaker 1: the white coat and what doctor A can give you 1815 01:45:29,760 --> 01:45:33,040 Speaker 1: a holistic response as well as a traditional medical response. 1816 01:45:33,200 --> 01:45:35,559 Speaker 1: But anyway, let me go back to the tweet question 1817 01:45:35,680 --> 01:45:38,160 Speaker 1: for you. Doctor A. Tweeter says neuropathy is a disease 1818 01:45:38,200 --> 01:45:40,360 Speaker 1: that causes the symptoms of pain and numbness in the 1819 01:45:40,720 --> 01:45:44,800 Speaker 1: body extremities, especially the legs and feet, And the person asks, 1820 01:45:44,880 --> 01:45:48,000 Speaker 1: what natural remedies can you offer as beneficial to the 1821 01:45:48,080 --> 01:45:49,400 Speaker 1: healing of neuropathy. 1822 01:45:50,760 --> 01:45:52,960 Speaker 11: Okay, Carl, I'm going to get right to the point. 1823 01:45:53,200 --> 01:45:58,080 Speaker 11: Although I know neuropathy affects millions of our people across 1824 01:45:58,200 --> 01:46:03,439 Speaker 11: this country. Again, as the caller said, it can result 1825 01:46:03,560 --> 01:46:08,600 Speaker 11: from a number of conditions from diabetes to multiple sclerosis. 1826 01:46:08,920 --> 01:46:12,840 Speaker 11: There are multiple factors that can cause the neuropathy. But 1827 01:46:13,000 --> 01:46:16,480 Speaker 11: once you've been diagnosed with a neuropathy, there's some holistic 1828 01:46:16,640 --> 01:46:19,600 Speaker 11: things that you can do. Wholeisted things are going to 1829 01:46:19,640 --> 01:46:26,000 Speaker 11: focus on natural approaches. Supplement such as alpha lipoic acid 1830 01:46:26,560 --> 01:46:32,120 Speaker 11: that's an antioxidant that improves nerve signaling. The B vitamins 1831 01:46:32,160 --> 01:46:36,719 Speaker 11: are also essential for nerve health, so deficiencies are linked 1832 01:46:36,760 --> 01:46:41,640 Speaker 11: to neuropathy. Fish oil. I've talked many times on your 1833 01:46:41,680 --> 01:46:46,320 Speaker 11: show about Omega three fatty acids. They reduce inflammation, so 1834 01:46:46,560 --> 01:46:48,800 Speaker 11: you can put in your diet and you can take 1835 01:46:48,840 --> 01:46:53,720 Speaker 11: as a supplement omega three fatty acids, Magnesium and calcium 1836 01:46:54,560 --> 01:47:01,280 Speaker 11: have roles in nerve function. Also, acetyl al carnatine, so 1837 01:47:01,520 --> 01:47:05,479 Speaker 11: a fetyle l carnatine is a supplement that can reduce 1838 01:47:05,600 --> 01:47:09,440 Speaker 11: the amount of nerve pain that you're feeling from the neuropathy. 1839 01:47:10,120 --> 01:47:13,880 Speaker 11: Various people have neuropathy, Carl, in different places in the body, 1840 01:47:14,280 --> 01:47:17,840 Speaker 11: and often once you're diagnosed with neuropathy, it's a progressive 1841 01:47:18,040 --> 01:47:23,080 Speaker 11: lifetime diagnosis. So in terms of your lifestyle, mind body therapy, 1842 01:47:23,760 --> 01:47:27,120 Speaker 11: you want to alter your diet to a really anti 1843 01:47:27,360 --> 01:47:31,640 Speaker 11: inflammatory diet. This rich in omega three fatty acids. You 1844 01:47:31,760 --> 01:47:35,479 Speaker 11: want to reduce your sugar and process food. You want 1845 01:47:35,520 --> 01:47:38,760 Speaker 11: to hydrate. I've off told your audience you need to 1846 01:47:38,800 --> 01:47:43,200 Speaker 11: be drinking half your body weight in water. Acupuncture is useful, 1847 01:47:43,760 --> 01:47:48,400 Speaker 11: warm baths, yoga, high chi and then Carl I spoke 1848 01:47:48,439 --> 01:47:51,400 Speaker 11: the last time I was on air about a wearable 1849 01:47:51,560 --> 01:47:55,519 Speaker 11: light technology, So if you're interested in that as remedy 1850 01:47:55,560 --> 01:47:59,839 Speaker 11: for neuropathy, I know multiple people who have used patches 1851 01:48:00,240 --> 01:48:04,479 Speaker 11: to alleviate neuropathy. Sondra Robinson mentioned that off air, she's 1852 01:48:04,520 --> 01:48:07,360 Speaker 11: going to contact me about that. If you're interested in 1853 01:48:08,320 --> 01:48:13,280 Speaker 11: wearable light technology to reduce the symptom of neuropathy holistically 1854 01:48:13,400 --> 01:48:19,600 Speaker 11: without side effect, lifewave dot com backslash doctor Emerson, you 1855 01:48:19,760 --> 01:48:25,000 Speaker 11: can go to that website and learn more about Activate 1856 01:48:25,160 --> 01:48:29,560 Speaker 11: and Elevate with X thirty nine. That's wearable light technology, 1857 01:48:29,960 --> 01:48:36,760 Speaker 11: no medication, no digestive effect. It literally activates infrared technology 1858 01:48:37,120 --> 01:48:41,160 Speaker 11: to utilize your own stem cells to reduce pain throughout 1859 01:48:41,240 --> 01:48:45,360 Speaker 11: your body. And I have multiple testimonies of people who've 1860 01:48:45,400 --> 01:48:49,680 Speaker 11: had significant relief, So Carl, there are multiple things that 1861 01:48:49,840 --> 01:48:54,000 Speaker 11: people can do outside of Western medicine. Is not to 1862 01:48:54,080 --> 01:48:57,320 Speaker 11: say don't go to your physician. See one of the 1863 01:48:57,400 --> 01:48:59,880 Speaker 11: things we have is a benefit thus far in this 1864 01:49:00,160 --> 01:49:04,439 Speaker 11: country public education and public health. So don't deny yourself 1865 01:49:04,560 --> 01:49:08,080 Speaker 11: that you have access. People in third world countries don't. 1866 01:49:08,479 --> 01:49:11,040 Speaker 11: But when you go to a healthcare provider and you 1867 01:49:11,240 --> 01:49:16,800 Speaker 11: get the proper testing and whatever prescribed diagnoses, whatever prescriptions, 1868 01:49:17,280 --> 01:49:22,200 Speaker 11: then you can add to that your own holistic lifestyle 1869 01:49:22,640 --> 01:49:26,880 Speaker 11: and non side effect technologies that help your body to 1870 01:49:27,040 --> 01:49:30,799 Speaker 11: heal itself. We have a healing power with our own body, 1871 01:49:31,080 --> 01:49:32,680 Speaker 11: and we need to learn to activate that. 1872 01:49:32,840 --> 01:49:34,240 Speaker 3: Carl all right. 1873 01:49:34,400 --> 01:49:36,840 Speaker 1: Twenty five to top, Mick is calling from New Jersey 1874 01:49:36,880 --> 01:49:39,640 Speaker 1: Issues Online one grand Rise and Mickey, you're own with 1875 01:49:39,720 --> 01:49:40,080 Speaker 1: doctor A. 1876 01:49:42,479 --> 01:49:43,000 Speaker 6: Good morning. 1877 01:49:43,240 --> 01:49:43,800 Speaker 7: Can you hear me? 1878 01:49:44,880 --> 01:49:46,040 Speaker 11: Yes, Mickey, we got you. 1879 01:49:47,400 --> 01:49:47,519 Speaker 6: Hi. 1880 01:49:48,439 --> 01:49:50,600 Speaker 18: Oh, it's a pleasure to have you. 1881 01:49:50,880 --> 01:49:51,000 Speaker 10: Oh. 1882 01:49:51,160 --> 01:49:54,840 Speaker 18: I love your show, Carl is awesome.

But but on top of that, 1888 01:50:17,640 --> 01:50:21,120 Speaker 18: ID and I do want to get those patches doctor 1889 01:50:21,960 --> 01:50:26,080 Speaker 18: that's a A. My question is about vitamin D. I'm 1890 01:50:26,120 --> 01:50:28,639 Speaker 18: always indoor and I worked the graveyard shift. 1891 01:50:29,479 --> 01:50:29,840 Speaker 11: What do you. 1892 01:50:29,920 --> 01:50:34,800 Speaker 18: Recommend for vitamin D because besides going into the sun. 1893 01:50:38,680 --> 01:50:43,679 Speaker 11: Excellent question, Mackie, that's a phenomenal question. And the interesting 1894 01:50:43,760 --> 01:50:47,439 Speaker 11: thing about you bringing that up is that November is 1895 01:50:47,520 --> 01:50:51,800 Speaker 11: actually Vitamin D awareness month, so it is very important 1896 01:50:51,880 --> 01:50:57,880 Speaker 11: that our nationwide audience understands vitamin D. Make sure you 1897 01:50:57,960 --> 01:50:59,840 Speaker 11: put your call on mute so that you can you 1898 01:50:59,880 --> 01:51:03,799 Speaker 11: can and hear me well on the air. But basically, 1899 01:51:04,600 --> 01:51:08,920 Speaker 11: twentieth century children in Europe and northern United States developed 1900 01:51:09,080 --> 01:51:12,840 Speaker 11: rickets because of lack of sun exposure. So the fact 1901 01:51:12,880 --> 01:51:16,040 Speaker 11: that we sit on our computer mickey twenty four to seven, 1902 01:51:16,200 --> 01:51:19,599 Speaker 11: we're working from home, we are never going outside. We're 1903 01:51:19,640 --> 01:51:23,880 Speaker 11: in pajamas twenty four hours a day. Very unhealthy. Melanated 1904 01:51:23,960 --> 01:51:27,599 Speaker 11: people take longer to absorb vitamin D from the sun, 1905 01:51:28,120 --> 01:51:31,080 Speaker 11: so our exposure has to be over a longer amount 1906 01:51:31,120 --> 01:51:35,120 Speaker 11: of time to get the same absorption as our white counterparts. 1907 01:51:35,520 --> 01:51:38,880 Speaker 11: There are vitamin D supplements and everyone should be getting 1908 01:51:38,880 --> 01:51:42,200 Speaker 11: their vitamin D level checked by their healthcare provider at 1909 01:51:42,240 --> 01:51:47,040 Speaker 11: this point. There are known connections with vitamin D deficiency 1910 01:51:47,960 --> 01:51:51,720 Speaker 11: and a lot of different medical conditions, from depression to 1911 01:51:51,920 --> 01:51:56,240 Speaker 11: anxiety to physical conditions. As I said, in the twentieth century, 1912 01:51:56,320 --> 01:52:00,679 Speaker 11: we had rickets. Now you can experience fatigue, bone pain, 1913 01:52:01,120 --> 01:52:09,400 Speaker 11: muscle weakness, mood changes, infections, wound healing problems, severe causes 1914 01:52:09,640 --> 01:52:14,439 Speaker 11: of not just rickets, but osteomylaysia, which is weak bones 1915 01:52:15,040 --> 01:52:19,479 Speaker 11: that are in the adult population. So we've got to 1916 01:52:19,600 --> 01:52:23,720 Speaker 11: become very serious about understanding our vitamin D level and 1917 01:52:23,840 --> 01:52:27,720 Speaker 11: getting ourself to sufficiency. As much as we consume in 1918 01:52:27,880 --> 01:52:32,400 Speaker 11: terms of food and caloric intake. It really is deplorable 1919 01:52:32,720 --> 01:52:36,800 Speaker 11: that we are still experiencing a level of deficiency of 1920 01:52:36,920 --> 01:52:37,960 Speaker 11: basic vitamins. 1921 01:52:38,040 --> 01:52:38,519 Speaker 10: But we are. 1922 01:52:39,040 --> 01:52:42,080 Speaker 11: It's not just your sunlight exposure. As you said, Mickey, 1923 01:52:42,400 --> 01:52:45,720 Speaker 11: you can take supplements of vitamin D three. You can 1924 01:52:45,880 --> 01:52:49,639 Speaker 11: also in your diet make it rich in fatty fish, 1925 01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:55,879 Speaker 11: fourtified milk, cereals, orange juice, sesame seeds are an excellent 1926 01:52:56,000 --> 01:53:00,599 Speaker 11: source of vitamin D. So yes, let's google and find out. 1927 01:53:00,840 --> 01:53:04,400 Speaker 11: Let's become hyper aware of vitamin D and the role 1928 01:53:04,520 --> 01:53:07,160 Speaker 11: it has. Let's not just depend on the sun. 1929 01:53:07,560 --> 01:53:08,479 Speaker 16: We cannot do that. 1930 01:53:08,680 --> 01:53:12,040 Speaker 11: We're in the winter, this is the season of darkness 1931 01:53:12,200 --> 01:53:15,040 Speaker 11: and the longest night. We've got to be proactive, and 1932 01:53:15,120 --> 01:53:18,760 Speaker 11: it starts with knowing your level. Get your vitamin D 1933 01:53:19,000 --> 01:53:24,679 Speaker 11: level tested, rich enrich your diet with vitamin D rich foods. 1934 01:53:25,240 --> 01:53:26,599 Speaker 16: Know what vitamin D rich. 1935 01:53:26,560 --> 01:53:30,200 Speaker 11: Foods are so that you are not experiencing the chronic 1936 01:53:30,320 --> 01:53:34,439 Speaker 11: conditions that come about from the deficiency.

Lady, you 1942 01:53:45,560 --> 01:53:46,920 Speaker 1: need to talk to you because a lot of times 1943 01:53:46,960 --> 01:53:48,519 Speaker 1: you don't get to talk to doctors, and you don't 1944 01:53:48,520 --> 01:53:51,840 Speaker 1: get to talk to doctors who are both traditional medical 1945 01:53:51,880 --> 01:53:55,240 Speaker 1: doctors and also holistic Nagel panic doctors, because doctor A 1946 01:53:55,320 --> 01:53:57,920 Speaker 1: can give you both sides, and because some people, you know, 1947 01:53:58,120 --> 01:54:02,160 Speaker 1: let's say, this is the pharmacy people give you if 1948 01:54:02,200 --> 01:54:04,519 Speaker 1: you take a medicine or a tablet or pill or whatever, 1949 01:54:05,040 --> 01:54:08,080 Speaker 1: those side effects.

And the problem with 1951 01:54:13,360 --> 01:54:17,800 Speaker 11: the side effects, Carl, we are so indoctrinated that many 1952 01:54:17,840 --> 01:54:22,320 Speaker 11: of us we're experiencing side effects from various prescriptions, and 1953 01:54:22,439 --> 01:54:25,600 Speaker 11: we are not even reporting these things to our healthcare providers. 1954 01:54:25,840 --> 01:54:29,400 Speaker 11: We are not even alerted that this is a warning, 1955 01:54:29,520 --> 01:54:31,920 Speaker 11: this is a red flag that the chemistry of this 1956 01:54:32,040 --> 01:54:37,040 Speaker 11: pharmacological product may not be jibing with our body. That's 1957 01:54:37,080 --> 01:54:39,880 Speaker 11: a real thing. Side effects are real, and they can 1958 01:54:39,960 --> 01:54:42,280 Speaker 11: wind you up in the hospital, if not kill you. 1959 01:54:42,800 --> 01:54:45,840 Speaker 11: You know, you could be treating something with your vision 1960 01:54:46,200 --> 01:54:50,200 Speaker 11: and Now you end up with you know, dizziness, you 1961 01:54:50,400 --> 01:54:55,560 Speaker 11: end up with migrain headaches, you end up with digestive issues, 1962 01:54:55,680 --> 01:54:59,040 Speaker 11: you end up with circulatory issues. There are things that 1963 01:54:59,280 --> 01:55:01,560 Speaker 11: make your penis it's direct, but can make you blind. 1964 01:55:02,400 --> 01:55:05,840 Speaker 11: Everything that is a prescription from western medicine comes with 1965 01:55:05,920 --> 01:55:08,200 Speaker 11: a side effect. So what we're talking to you about 1966 01:55:08,240 --> 01:55:13,360 Speaker 11: today is fortifying yourself with something. The worst case scenario 1967 01:55:13,600 --> 01:55:16,240 Speaker 11: is it does nothing. There's not going to be a 1968 01:55:16,360 --> 01:55:20,600 Speaker 11: whole laundry list of horrible side effects when you're fortifying 1969 01:55:20,680 --> 01:55:23,040 Speaker 11: with natural things that God put on the earth. 1970 01:55:25,800 --> 01:55:27,760 Speaker 1: All right, I just people just tweeting me. I'm looking 1971 01:55:27,760 --> 01:55:29,720 Speaker 1: at tweets. But let's go to Maxine and calling from 1972 01:55:29,760 --> 01:55:32,920 Speaker 1: Michelottesville in Virgin Issues online too, Grand Rising, Maxine, you're 1973 01:55:32,920 --> 01:55:33,520 Speaker 1: on with doctor A. 1974 01:55:34,320 --> 01:55:37,080 Speaker 8: Good morning, Good morning, doctor A. Thank you so much 1975 01:55:37,160 --> 01:55:41,440 Speaker 8: for taking my call. I'm interested in a natural way 1976 01:55:41,560 --> 01:55:45,120 Speaker 8: to deal with gird as the grief. 1977 01:55:44,920 --> 01:55:49,200 Speaker 11: Of Okay, well, that's wonderful. 1978 01:55:49,320 --> 01:55:50,240 Speaker 16: Let me ask you this. 1979 01:55:51,240 --> 01:55:53,040 Speaker 11: How long have you been suffering with this? 1980 01:55:54,360 --> 01:55:54,480 Speaker 1: Uh? 1981 01:55:54,800 --> 01:55:58,320 Speaker 8: Well over two years now. I did not I rejected 1982 01:55:58,520 --> 01:56:06,120 Speaker 8: the medicines that the doctor, you know, those proton pump inhibitors. 1983 01:56:06,840 --> 01:56:09,440 Speaker 8: I would get a headache from that. So I rejected that, 1984 01:56:09,760 --> 01:56:18,360 Speaker 8: and I've started on my path using golden seal, using 1985 01:56:19,320 --> 01:56:23,280 Speaker 8: as much natural herbs as I can. 1986 01:56:23,480 --> 01:56:26,080 Speaker 11: But let me let me ask you two things, Maxine. 1987 01:56:26,160 --> 01:56:29,120 Speaker 11: Number one, are you a smoker? Number two? What is 1988 01:56:29,200 --> 01:56:29,680 Speaker 11: your age? 1989 01:56:30,840 --> 01:56:34,080 Speaker 8: Number one? I am not a smoker. Number two, I'm 1990 01:56:34,200 --> 01:56:34,840 Speaker 8: seventy seven. 1991 01:56:36,240 --> 01:56:39,960 Speaker 11: Okay, wonderful. So here are my suggestions. Firstly, for the 1992 01:56:40,080 --> 01:56:46,600 Speaker 11: nationwide audience. Maxine is a very proactive, knowledgeable woman. Let 1993 01:56:46,680 --> 01:56:52,440 Speaker 11: me catch the national audience up. Gastro esophagil reflux disease. 1994 01:56:53,600 --> 01:56:56,760 Speaker 11: That was the cause of death for my maternal grandfather. 1995 01:56:57,240 --> 01:57:03,080 Speaker 11: It is very personal to me. Esophageal reflux disease is heartburn, okay. 1996 01:57:03,440 --> 01:57:08,080 Speaker 11: It's a chronic digestive condition where the stomach acid is 1997 01:57:08,200 --> 01:57:13,520 Speaker 11: being regurgitated back into your throat or esophagus. Therefore, your 1998 01:57:13,640 --> 01:57:18,520 Speaker 11: symptoms or heartburn regurgitation, chest pain. Many people even go 1999 01:57:18,640 --> 01:57:20,760 Speaker 11: to the er thinking they're having a heart attack. 2000 01:57:21,160 --> 01:57:22,480 Speaker 16: That's how painful it can be. 2001 01:57:22,960 --> 01:57:26,920 Speaker 11: You can have difficulties swallowing. You often have a weak 2002 01:57:27,480 --> 01:57:31,400 Speaker 11: lower esophageal sphincter. So Maxine, the first thing is to 2003 01:57:31,520 --> 01:57:34,440 Speaker 11: understand causality, which is why I ask your age and 2004 01:57:34,480 --> 01:57:38,280 Speaker 11: whether or not you smoke, because what is the cause 2005 01:57:38,440 --> 01:57:43,160 Speaker 11: of the sphincter? Okay, there is basically a drainage problem. 2006 01:57:43,480 --> 01:57:49,320 Speaker 11: The sphincter is a muscle that squeezes like our anus squeezes. 2007 01:57:49,600 --> 01:57:54,320 Speaker 11: And we don't just defecate without voluntary release. Right, we 2008 01:57:54,600 --> 01:57:59,040 Speaker 11: choose to go to the bathroom, We choose to make 2009 01:57:59,080 --> 01:58:02,040 Speaker 11: a number two. We may be flatulent until we make 2010 01:58:02,120 --> 01:58:06,240 Speaker 11: that choice, but we don't just release without voluntary command. 2011 01:58:06,760 --> 01:58:10,040 Speaker 11: So the same should be true at the esophagus. When 2012 01:58:10,040 --> 01:58:13,720 Speaker 11: you swallow something and it goes in your stomach, why 2013 01:58:13,880 --> 01:58:16,440 Speaker 11: is it going backwards back into your throat? 2014 01:58:16,640 --> 01:58:20,000 Speaker 16: Okay, so ginger ginger. 2015 01:58:19,800 --> 01:58:22,720 Speaker 11: Is something we use as obgu I NS Mickey mentioned, 2016 01:58:22,920 --> 01:58:26,240 Speaker 11: I've delivered thousands of babies the grace of God. I 2017 01:58:26,400 --> 01:58:29,280 Speaker 11: touched them before their mommy even touches them. And so 2018 01:58:29,800 --> 01:58:35,800 Speaker 11: pregnant women suffer what heartburn? Pregnant women have physiologic changes 2019 01:58:36,080 --> 01:58:39,520 Speaker 11: that worse than heartburn tenfold. Even if they never had 2020 01:58:39,560 --> 01:58:41,839 Speaker 11: it in life, they're likely to have it in pregnancy. 2021 01:58:42,280 --> 01:58:50,640 Speaker 11: Aging worsens heartburn, smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, spicy food, process food, 2022 01:58:51,000 --> 01:58:54,280 Speaker 11: all these things make heartburn worse. Yes, they're over the 2023 01:58:54,360 --> 01:58:58,560 Speaker 11: counter things like thumbs rolaids, but ginger is what we 2024 01:58:58,680 --> 01:59:04,080 Speaker 11: have holistically, ginger candy, ginger tea ginger in every form 2025 01:59:04,240 --> 01:59:10,760 Speaker 11: imaginable to really reduce the symptom of regurgitating acid from 2026 01:59:10,800 --> 01:59:15,520 Speaker 11: your stomach back into your throat. Your lifestyle, you want 2027 01:59:15,560 --> 01:59:19,080 Speaker 11: to elevate the head of your bed again, eliminate the 2028 01:59:19,160 --> 01:59:23,160 Speaker 11: trigger foods and the trigger drinks. Stop smoking for those 2029 01:59:23,240 --> 01:59:27,120 Speaker 11: who are smokers. Your clothing can matter, so you want 2030 01:59:27,160 --> 01:59:30,240 Speaker 11: to wear loose fitting clothing, especially around the abdomen. 2031 01:59:30,560 --> 01:59:31,440 Speaker 16: There are times where. 2032 01:59:31,360 --> 01:59:35,200 Speaker 11: Medications can be useful and Matt seeing you mentioned five effects. 2033 01:59:35,320 --> 01:59:37,800 Speaker 11: Like Carl and I talked about, you want to ask 2034 01:59:37,920 --> 01:59:43,760 Speaker 11: your health care provider are their alternatives that are prescription alternatives, 2035 01:59:43,840 --> 01:59:46,720 Speaker 11: because I'm not aware of the severity of your condition. 2036 01:59:47,280 --> 01:59:51,040 Speaker 11: My grandfather took every medication known to man and then 2037 01:59:51,160 --> 01:59:55,840 Speaker 11: actually had to have surgery to correct the reflux of 2038 01:59:56,000 --> 01:59:59,400 Speaker 11: acid into his throat. He elevated the head of his bed, 2039 02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:02,800 Speaker 11: almost had to sleep standing up. It was so painful. 2040 02:00:03,280 --> 02:00:05,640 Speaker 11: He went into that surgery and we never saw him 2041 02:00:05,680 --> 02:00:10,000 Speaker 11: again because he was in his seventies and he had 2042 02:00:10,040 --> 02:00:15,280 Speaker 11: a surgical complication postoperatively, so as we age, our likelihood 2043 02:00:15,560 --> 02:00:19,400 Speaker 11: of complication from elective surgery. Again, that's how Kanye West 2044 02:00:19,480 --> 02:00:20,320 Speaker 11: lost his mother. 2045 02:00:20,840 --> 02:00:23,600 Speaker 16: Trying to get bigger titties, smaller titties. Whatever. 2046 02:00:24,040 --> 02:00:28,240 Speaker 11: It was cosmetic elective surgery. It was not a cataract 2047 02:00:28,360 --> 02:00:32,240 Speaker 11: surgery or something that was medically needed, as she wanted 2048 02:00:32,280 --> 02:00:36,879 Speaker 11: to become more attractive, and instead she met the creator. 2049 02:00:37,280 --> 02:00:40,600 Speaker 11: When we age, we've got to think even more mindfully 2050 02:00:41,160 --> 02:00:44,879 Speaker 11: about whether or not we are a candidate for surgery. 2051 02:00:45,360 --> 02:00:53,360 Speaker 11: So Maxine, my recommendations. Definitely change your lifestyle. Definitely change 2052 02:00:53,440 --> 02:00:57,680 Speaker 11: your diet. Obesity is also associated with an increase in 2053 02:00:57,800 --> 02:01:03,720 Speaker 11: heartburn for physiological reasons. Is basic physics, okay, So weight loss, 2054 02:01:04,440 --> 02:01:12,400 Speaker 11: dietary management, walking, regularly drinking alkaline water, changing all the 2055 02:01:12,520 --> 02:01:15,760 Speaker 11: process foods out of your diet to become more holistic. 2056 02:01:16,120 --> 02:01:19,720 Speaker 11: These are the things that can naturally eliminate the symptom 2057 02:01:19,800 --> 02:01:22,880 Speaker 11: of GIRD from your life. Thank you for calling Maccine. 2058 02:01:22,800 --> 02:01:23,480 Speaker 8: But doctor A. 2059 02:01:25,560 --> 02:01:32,080 Speaker 11: Yes, Maxine, Wow, she was going to ask something else, 2060 02:01:32,120 --> 02:01:32,480 Speaker 11: I thought. 2061 02:01:33,120 --> 02:01:34,440 Speaker 1: I think she hung up.

So as opposed to starting your 2111 02:04:09,720 --> 02:04:14,520 Speaker 11: morning with something sugary and starting your morning with processed food, 2112 02:04:14,720 --> 02:04:19,600 Speaker 11: oatmeal is wonderful. Now when you are preparing actual oats, 2113 02:04:19,960 --> 02:04:24,560 Speaker 11: real oats as opposed to some process down form of oatmeal, 2114 02:04:24,960 --> 02:04:28,200 Speaker 11: that's even better, Roberts. So if you actually take the 2115 02:04:28,320 --> 02:04:31,720 Speaker 11: Quaker oats or some of the brand oats and you 2116 02:04:32,240 --> 02:04:37,680 Speaker 11: cook that in water, prepare it with whatever natural supplements 2117 02:04:37,760 --> 02:04:43,200 Speaker 11: that you want.

Cinnamon has multiple healing powers. God is 2123 02:05:00,400 --> 02:05:04,640 Speaker 11: a wonderful natural sweetener as opposed to white sugar. 2124 02:05:05,080 --> 02:05:05,600 Speaker 4: So yes. 2125 02:05:06,800 --> 02:05:09,800 Speaker 11: For multiple things that we could choose for breakfast, oatmeal 2126 02:05:09,920 --> 02:05:12,240 Speaker 11: is one of the better ones, Doctor A. 2127 02:05:13,560 --> 02:05:16,680 Speaker 12: The oatmeal that I eat is a quicker quicker brand, 2128 02:05:16,760 --> 02:05:21,640 Speaker 12: and it has a Walnutch dates and raisins in it. 2129 02:05:22,200 --> 02:05:25,120 Speaker 12: And I'm a diabetic, so I don't put it's no sugar. 2130 02:05:25,320 --> 02:05:28,320 Speaker 12: I don't have no sugar to it. I think the 2131 02:05:28,480 --> 02:05:33,240 Speaker 12: raisins are the natural sweetener that I I mean, I 2132 02:05:33,440 --> 02:05:35,200 Speaker 12: like the I like the brand that I get. 2133 02:05:36,160 --> 02:05:36,960 Speaker 3: So is that okay. 2134 02:05:37,280 --> 02:05:42,440 Speaker 11: Walnuts are also studied to be very very beneficial to 2135 02:05:42,560 --> 02:05:45,680 Speaker 11: the brain. So as you age, you know you have 2136 02:05:45,920 --> 02:05:50,720 Speaker 11: now AARP status. Robert, It's very important that you continue 2137 02:05:51,040 --> 02:05:53,920 Speaker 11: to fortify your body with walnuts. I like the things 2138 02:05:53,960 --> 02:05:57,400 Speaker 11: that you're putting in this oatmeal to prepare yourself a 2139 02:05:57,520 --> 02:06:01,600 Speaker 11: breakfast that's wholesome and that's fortified. Now what's important is 2140 02:06:01,680 --> 02:06:06,240 Speaker 11: you said you're diabetic. Unfortunately, Quaker does make forms of 2141 02:06:06,360 --> 02:06:09,960 Speaker 11: oatmeal that have a very high sugar content and they 2142 02:06:10,120 --> 02:06:13,360 Speaker 11: practically give you more sugar than fiber. So you'd want 2143 02:06:13,400 --> 02:06:16,920 Speaker 11: to read labels and nationwide audience, we want to be 2144 02:06:17,080 --> 02:06:21,120 Speaker 11: a knowledgeable people. All of us need to be reading labels, 2145 02:06:21,240 --> 02:06:24,200 Speaker 11: not just the diabetics in our community. Many of us 2146 02:06:24,240 --> 02:06:27,920 Speaker 11: are undiagnosed diabetics. We don't even have the knowledge Robert 2147 02:06:28,000 --> 02:06:31,680 Speaker 11: has about his health about our own self awareness, So 2148 02:06:32,200 --> 02:06:34,360 Speaker 11: you could be walking around diabetic and don't know it. 2149 02:06:34,520 --> 02:06:37,320 Speaker 11: That happened to my own husband, and he was seeing 2150 02:06:37,440 --> 02:06:41,840 Speaker 11: physicians regularly and still went under the radar with diabetes. 2151 02:06:42,280 --> 02:06:47,080 Speaker 11: Diabetes is deadly, especially when undiagnosed. We've got to know, 2152 02:06:47,520 --> 02:06:51,400 Speaker 11: and we should all as adults over twenty five years 2153 02:06:51,440 --> 02:06:55,320 Speaker 11: of age or anybody would obesity regardless of age. You 2154 02:06:55,480 --> 02:06:58,760 Speaker 11: want to have a basic running knowledge. What is your 2155 02:06:59,040 --> 02:07:02,520 Speaker 11: basic average blowood pressure, What is your average blood sugar. 2156 02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:05,360 Speaker 11: You could check a fasting blood sugar first thing in 2157 02:07:05,400 --> 02:07:07,920 Speaker 11: the morning, and you can check a blood sugar two 2158 02:07:08,000 --> 02:07:11,480 Speaker 11: hours after consuming a meal. Your blood sugar should be 2159 02:07:11,680 --> 02:07:15,000 Speaker 11: under one hundred and twenty when you're consuming a meal, 2160 02:07:16,080 --> 02:07:18,960 Speaker 11: preferably under ninety when you first wake up in the 2161 02:07:19,040 --> 02:07:23,200 Speaker 11: morning and you're fasting overnight. So certainly, if you're checking 2162 02:07:23,280 --> 02:07:26,840 Speaker 11: blood sugars and you're looking at two hundreds to four hundreds. 2163 02:07:26,800 --> 02:07:28,560 Speaker 4: That's not good. That's not good. 2164 02:07:28,960 --> 02:07:32,680 Speaker 11: Whether it's resulting from your body and you don't make insulin, 2165 02:07:33,040 --> 02:07:35,480 Speaker 11: or it's resulting from your eating too much sugar in 2166 02:07:35,680 --> 02:07:39,200 Speaker 11: massive quantities all at once, it still is a red 2167 02:07:39,240 --> 02:07:42,480 Speaker 11: flag to change your behavior.

First of all, 2195 02:09:07,440 --> 02:09:13,080 Speaker 11: black men are disproportionately affected by prostate cancer. High PSA 2196 02:09:13,280 --> 02:09:19,120 Speaker 11: level can indicate the cancer, especially if it's going up. So, Robert, 2197 02:09:19,160 --> 02:09:21,840 Speaker 11: it's not just a matter of your number, but whether 2198 02:09:21,960 --> 02:09:24,200 Speaker 11: or not that number has been going up or been 2199 02:09:24,280 --> 02:09:29,480 Speaker 11: going down. While levels under four nanograms per milli liter 2200 02:09:29,920 --> 02:09:35,320 Speaker 11: are often considered normal, results will vary by age, race, 2201 02:09:35,960 --> 02:09:41,080 Speaker 11: size of your prostates, so a single number is not diagnostic. 2202 02:09:41,840 --> 02:09:44,480 Speaker 11: Do you have a urologist, Robert, that has been tracking 2203 02:09:44,600 --> 02:09:45,200 Speaker 11: your numbers? 2204 02:09:46,880 --> 02:09:47,080 Speaker 5: Yeah? 2205 02:09:47,600 --> 02:09:50,080 Speaker 20: Yeah, I'm working on Johns Hopkins right now. 2206 02:09:50,920 --> 02:09:55,560 Speaker 11: Oh yes, I love even though Johns Hopkins is certainly 2207 02:09:55,640 --> 02:10:00,480 Speaker 11: the institution we know that took the heel of cells 2208 02:10:00,640 --> 02:10:05,400 Speaker 11: from Henrietta Lacks and profited, although they claim they did not, 2209 02:10:05,640 --> 02:10:09,160 Speaker 11: Sure you did it. Medical research across the world was 2210 02:10:09,240 --> 02:10:12,680 Speaker 11: done with the heel of cells without her permission, without 2211 02:10:12,720 --> 02:10:15,560 Speaker 11: her compensation, So they can take credit for that, but 2212 02:10:15,680 --> 02:10:17,840 Speaker 11: you know what that means, they owe us. So I'm 2213 02:10:17,880 --> 02:10:20,360 Speaker 11: so proud of you for getting top notch care at 2214 02:10:20,440 --> 02:10:23,080 Speaker 11: John Tompkins. How long have they been following you with 2215 02:10:23,160 --> 02:10:23,800 Speaker 11: your prostate? 2216 02:10:25,360 --> 02:10:27,280 Speaker 20: Trying about since April? 2217 02:10:28,560 --> 02:10:28,680 Speaker 4: Oh? 2218 02:10:28,720 --> 02:10:31,840 Speaker 11: Okay, so in this one calendar you know he'll do 2219 02:10:31,960 --> 02:10:32,320 Speaker 11: that year? 2220 02:10:33,120 --> 02:10:36,280 Speaker 20: Yeah, yes, yeah, April twenty twenty five, okay. 2221 02:10:36,040 --> 02:10:38,640 Speaker 11: So not even a full year, just within this one 2222 02:10:38,760 --> 02:10:41,280 Speaker 11: calendar year. Has your number gone down or up? 2223 02:10:42,240 --> 02:10:42,400 Speaker 2: Oh? 2224 02:10:42,480 --> 02:10:44,600 Speaker 20: You know what, No, my numbers have gone up. But 2225 02:10:44,680 --> 02:10:47,000 Speaker 20: let me take that back. It has been April twenty 2226 02:10:47,080 --> 02:10:50,720 Speaker 20: twenty four, but my numbers, my numbers have gone up, 2227 02:10:50,760 --> 02:10:53,840 Speaker 20: because it was like that the two hasn't gone up 2228 02:10:53,880 --> 02:10:56,960 Speaker 20: a lot according to them, because because at first I 2229 02:10:57,040 --> 02:11:00,600 Speaker 20: went through I was I had a doctor him and Delaware. 2230 02:11:01,120 --> 02:11:06,320 Speaker 20: But my numbers was like a two six earlier this year, 2231 02:11:06,520 --> 02:11:09,360 Speaker 20: like a two four, like back in Marshall twenty twenty five. 2232 02:11:09,400 --> 02:11:12,040 Speaker 20: It was like two four or two six one or 2233 02:11:12,040 --> 02:11:13,920 Speaker 20: the other. And then when I went to the doctor 2234 02:11:14,080 --> 02:11:17,360 Speaker 20: last month, they said that that's not a big increase, 2235 02:11:17,440 --> 02:11:18,360 Speaker 20: but I don't know. 2236 02:11:20,560 --> 02:11:23,360 Speaker 11: Well, no, it's not a big increase. And again your 2237 02:11:23,480 --> 02:11:26,680 Speaker 11: number is below four, as I said, So as a 2238 02:11:26,760 --> 02:11:30,080 Speaker 11: general criteria, it's important for you to know, James. You know, 2239 02:11:30,200 --> 02:11:33,400 Speaker 11: when we think about numbers in the PSA that are 2240 02:11:33,520 --> 02:11:39,600 Speaker 11: below four, that is really not considered a high risk number. 2241 02:11:40,200 --> 02:11:43,400 Speaker 11: Numbers between four and ten are borderline. And then when 2242 02:11:43,400 --> 02:11:47,200 Speaker 11: you're over ten, now you're in serious condition. Okay, so 2243 02:11:47,920 --> 02:11:52,520 Speaker 11: you're being tested at Johns Hopkins for the prostate specific antigen. 2244 02:11:53,120 --> 02:11:55,240 Speaker 11: Why were you even referred to Johns Hopkins. 2245 02:11:55,320 --> 02:11:59,120 Speaker 13: Why are they following this because a couple of years 2246 02:11:59,160 --> 02:12:02,400 Speaker 13: ago a doctor who I was seeing a bloom of 2247 02:12:02,480 --> 02:12:06,080 Speaker 13: pearl on PC he saw that my numbers was going up, 2248 02:12:06,440 --> 02:12:10,640 Speaker 13: going up slightly and then it was like a two four. 2249 02:12:11,160 --> 02:12:13,240 Speaker 20: It was like around a two four I think, then 2250 02:12:13,320 --> 02:12:16,520 Speaker 20: a two six, and then well it was lower than that. 2251 02:12:16,800 --> 02:12:21,480 Speaker 20: Actually this was back in October. It was like around 2252 02:12:21,560 --> 02:12:25,280 Speaker 20: late twenty twenty three, because I because I was I 2253 02:12:25,400 --> 02:12:29,760 Speaker 20: was diagnosed like what January twenty six or twenty of 2254 02:12:29,920 --> 02:12:33,720 Speaker 20: last year, twenty what twenty twenty four, January twenty twenty four, 2255 02:12:34,480 --> 02:12:37,760 Speaker 20: So yeah, so that's that's when I was diacnosed. And 2256 02:12:37,880 --> 02:12:41,680 Speaker 20: then then I because I went through Thomas Effstone Hospital 2257 02:12:41,800 --> 02:12:44,320 Speaker 20: and I went to a Delaware doctor, and then then 2258 02:12:44,360 --> 02:12:47,320 Speaker 20: I went to the DC doctor. Well John's costin in DC. 2259 02:12:47,600 --> 02:12:49,680 Speaker 20: I just wanted to get different opinions on my next 2260 02:12:49,720 --> 02:12:52,160 Speaker 20: steps because right now I'm an un the act of 2261 02:12:52,240 --> 02:12:53,240 Speaker 20: surveillance right now. 2262 02:12:54,000 --> 02:12:57,480 Speaker 11: Yes, you are so. Number one. The main thing I 2263 02:12:57,640 --> 02:13:00,520 Speaker 11: want to highlight for the national audience, James, is that 2264 02:13:01,200 --> 02:13:07,360 Speaker 11: you are seeking out multiple opinions within the medical community proactively. 2265 02:13:07,800 --> 02:13:11,040 Speaker 11: You know, You're not somebody being treated for prostate cancer. 2266 02:13:11,120 --> 02:13:15,360 Speaker 11: You're somebody being monitored for your PSA level to make 2267 02:13:15,440 --> 02:13:16,160 Speaker 11: sure it's. 2268 02:13:16,040 --> 02:13:16,960 Speaker 16: Not going up. 2269 02:13:17,600 --> 02:13:20,520 Speaker 11: You are really doing the highest level of care that 2270 02:13:20,640 --> 02:13:23,720 Speaker 11: we want black men to be doing. In addition to 2271 02:13:24,000 --> 02:13:29,760 Speaker 11: monitoring PSA levels, there are radiologic studies that can identify 2272 02:13:30,200 --> 02:13:34,280 Speaker 11: whether or not we're dealing with a tumor or another condition. 2273 02:13:34,760 --> 02:13:37,800 Speaker 11: There are other causes of an elevated PSA which, again 2274 02:13:37,960 --> 02:13:42,040 Speaker 11: to clarify, yours is not elevated. Okay, yours is within 2275 02:13:42,120 --> 02:13:44,800 Speaker 11: a normal range, But we always want to make that 2276 02:13:45,000 --> 02:13:47,960 Speaker 11: personal because you're not a number. You're a human being, 2277 02:13:48,360 --> 02:13:51,080 Speaker 11: and so your doctor is the person that does the 2278 02:13:51,200 --> 02:13:56,080 Speaker 11: prostate exam, that knows you as a human being, that 2279 02:13:56,400 --> 02:14:02,080 Speaker 11: understands your medical and family history and puts this one 2280 02:14:02,320 --> 02:14:06,320 Speaker 11: lab value into reality for you. So the fact that 2281 02:14:06,440 --> 02:14:11,520 Speaker 11: you're being surveyed is wonderful. It's wonderful. There are other 2282 02:14:11,680 --> 02:14:17,160 Speaker 11: conditions for the nationwide audience, like prostatitis, like age, like 2283 02:14:17,360 --> 02:14:22,400 Speaker 11: recent activities, or procedures like urinary track infections, or like 2284 02:14:22,720 --> 02:14:27,600 Speaker 11: benign prostatic hyperplasia. These are conditions that are not cancer 2285 02:14:28,000 --> 02:14:32,240 Speaker 11: that can result in an elevated level. But again, James's 2286 02:14:32,360 --> 02:14:36,000 Speaker 11: level is not elevated, So we want to be mindful. 2287 02:14:36,600 --> 02:14:40,640 Speaker 11: Once we get a number, we want to track that number. 2288 02:14:40,800 --> 02:14:43,320 Speaker 11: We want to make sure that number is not going up. 2289 02:14:44,320 --> 02:14:48,080 Speaker 11: Persons who have a high PSA number want to repeat 2290 02:14:48,160 --> 02:14:51,240 Speaker 11: the tests confirm the number. They need to have a 2291 02:14:51,440 --> 02:14:57,640 Speaker 11: digital rectal examination to check physically for abnormalities. Is there 2292 02:14:57,680 --> 02:15:01,080 Speaker 11: a tumor that we can feel when we put one 2293 02:15:01,160 --> 02:15:04,760 Speaker 11: finger inside the rectum? As a medical expert? Are there 2294 02:15:04,840 --> 02:15:08,040 Speaker 11: additional tests that the person with the PSA needs to get, 2295 02:15:08,640 --> 02:15:12,800 Speaker 11: such as a prostate health index? Prostate health index is 2296 02:15:12,840 --> 02:15:15,120 Speaker 11: something you may want to ask your doctors about, James, 2297 02:15:15,480 --> 02:15:19,840 Speaker 11: because that gives you a basic score. Also, imaging tests 2298 02:15:19,960 --> 02:15:24,920 Speaker 11: like the MRI doing a prostate biopsy. These are options 2299 02:15:25,040 --> 02:15:29,680 Speaker 11: to guarantee with certainty outside of a lab value, whether 2300 02:15:29,800 --> 02:15:32,520 Speaker 11: or not you're dealing with cancer. Thank you for calling, James. 2301 02:15:33,640 --> 02:15:36,400 Speaker 3: Thank you.

I may 2408 02:21:35,840 --> 02:21:39,520 Speaker 11: want to cultivate that for the listenership forward going. But 2409 02:21:39,840 --> 02:21:44,400 Speaker 11: second your second question insurance coverage. Insurance, as we know, 2410 02:21:44,800 --> 02:21:49,480 Speaker 11: profits from deny the claim. Okay, so we have to 2411 02:21:49,640 --> 02:21:53,600 Speaker 11: be very proactive when we're dealing with insurance companies. You 2412 02:21:53,720 --> 02:21:56,760 Speaker 11: pay them every single month and they really do owe you. 2413 02:21:57,200 --> 02:22:01,520 Speaker 11: They make millions off of denying black and brown people 2414 02:22:01,840 --> 02:22:05,039 Speaker 11: the services that we're paying for. So you really you've 2415 02:22:05,080 --> 02:22:08,400 Speaker 11: got to go to your healthcare practitioner and get them 2416 02:22:08,440 --> 02:22:12,400 Speaker 11: on board. I as somebody in my sixties, I'm a 2417 02:22:12,520 --> 02:22:16,480 Speaker 11: senior and I'm entitled to a nutritionist. If you're diagnosed 2418 02:22:16,520 --> 02:22:20,240 Speaker 11: me with two conditions high blood pressure, high cholesterol, you 2419 02:22:20,400 --> 02:22:23,800 Speaker 11: have me on these medications. I would like to fortify 2420 02:22:23,920 --> 02:22:27,320 Speaker 11: my life holistically and learn how to do this right 2421 02:22:27,440 --> 02:22:28,400 Speaker 11: with a nutritionist. 2422 02:22:28,800 --> 02:22:31,279 Speaker 16: Also, seek out classes in the community. 2423 02:22:32,840 --> 02:22:38,880 Speaker 11: Many hospital systems like MedStar are under obligation to serve 2424 02:22:39,040 --> 02:22:45,080 Speaker 11: our community and they do constant community enrichment programs about 2425 02:22:45,240 --> 02:22:51,520 Speaker 11: blood pressure, weight management, diabetes, quit smoking, obesity, etc. So 2426 02:22:51,640 --> 02:22:55,160 Speaker 11: you want to be very actively aware of any free 2427 02:22:55,320 --> 02:23:00,960 Speaker 11: programming about health, specifically high blood pressure high cholesterol that 2428 02:23:01,080 --> 02:23:05,160 Speaker 11: are available in your community. Secondly, go your healthcare practitioner 2429 02:23:05,440 --> 02:23:09,160 Speaker 11: that's caring for you and that diagnosed you and wrote prescriptions. 2430 02:23:09,520 --> 02:23:13,280 Speaker 11: Get them on board to solicit the insurance company on 2431 02:23:13,360 --> 02:23:13,959 Speaker 11: your behalf. 2432 02:23:15,360 --> 02:23:17,760 Speaker 1: Thank you, all right, thanks, Joe. Let me ask you 2433 02:23:17,800 --> 02:23:19,440 Speaker 1: this before I say on the call of a doctor, 2434 02:23:19,600 --> 02:23:23,360 Speaker 1: how important is it to have medical doctors who look 2435 02:23:23,480 --> 02:23:26,160 Speaker 1: like us, because I know there's a paucity of medical 2436 02:23:26,520 --> 02:23:29,480 Speaker 1: folks from our community that's out there. How can we 2437 02:23:29,680 --> 02:23:33,120 Speaker 1: increase the amount of doctors that we have in the 2438 02:23:33,200 --> 02:23:36,000 Speaker 1: medical field, because you know, many people listening to us, 2439 02:23:36,000 --> 02:23:38,880 Speaker 1: they probably don't have a black doctor. You know, people 2440 02:23:38,920 --> 02:23:40,680 Speaker 1: say it doesn't matter, but I think it does matter 2441 02:23:40,720 --> 02:23:43,040 Speaker 1: because all of my life, well I've had white doctors, 2442 02:23:43,080 --> 02:23:45,240 Speaker 1: but the black doctors, I think they have a little 2443 02:23:45,280 --> 02:23:48,040 Speaker 1: bit more care and understanding. That's what I used ever 2444 02:23:48,120 --> 02:23:50,360 Speaker 1: since I found a black doctor, That's what I've been using. 2445 02:23:50,440 --> 02:23:52,640 Speaker 1: So I don't know if if the audience feels like me, 2446 02:23:52,840 --> 02:23:56,120 Speaker 1: but I have the total faith in our people because 2447 02:23:56,480 --> 02:23:58,200 Speaker 1: when you show, that's the reflection of the faith that 2448 02:23:58,280 --> 02:24:01,000 Speaker 1: you have in yourself. But anyway, get off my soul, Bux. 2449 02:24:01,120 --> 02:24:03,040 Speaker 1: How important is it do you think, doctor, that we 2450 02:24:03,080 --> 02:24:06,119 Speaker 1: have somebody looks like us giving us medical information? 2451 02:24:07,600 --> 02:24:10,280 Speaker 11: Carl, this is such a poignant question. I wish I 2452 02:24:10,320 --> 02:24:13,800 Speaker 11: could write it in bold face underline, but I'm only 2453 02:24:14,200 --> 02:24:19,240 Speaker 11: speaking verbally, Okay, if I could speak more figuratively, I 2454 02:24:19,360 --> 02:24:23,560 Speaker 11: want to bold face underline this answer that science has 2455 02:24:23,680 --> 02:24:27,200 Speaker 11: shown not just when it comes to health, but when 2456 02:24:27,240 --> 02:24:32,560 Speaker 11: it comes to everything regarding self. We as a human 2457 02:24:32,680 --> 02:24:37,800 Speaker 11: species do better when we can relate to the authority. Figure. 2458 02:24:37,920 --> 02:24:43,600 Speaker 11: I don't care if it's education, banking, automotive, or health, 2459 02:24:44,360 --> 02:24:50,199 Speaker 11: life and death. When doctors are of color, Black doctors 2460 02:24:50,600 --> 02:24:52,199 Speaker 11: better serve the black community. 2461 02:24:52,280 --> 02:24:53,240 Speaker 16: That's not an opinion. 2462 02:24:53,640 --> 02:24:57,160 Speaker 11: We've backed that up in studies. Little Black babies that 2463 02:24:57,240 --> 02:25:01,200 Speaker 11: are born prematurely fighting for their life in the intensive 2464 02:25:01,280 --> 02:25:05,600 Speaker 11: care unit CARL Studies have shown these little black babies 2465 02:25:05,640 --> 02:25:09,560 Speaker 11: are three times more likely to die than their white counterparts. 2466 02:25:10,000 --> 02:25:13,360 Speaker 11: But when they have a black physician. Now they can 2467 02:25:13,400 --> 02:25:16,600 Speaker 11: barely see out their little premature eyes. Okay, there is 2468 02:25:16,800 --> 02:25:20,720 Speaker 11: something happening where they are more likely to live to 2469 02:25:20,800 --> 02:25:24,200 Speaker 11: the age of one when they have a black physician. 2470 02:25:24,680 --> 02:25:27,840 Speaker 11: This is true of black women. Black women have not 2471 02:25:28,040 --> 02:25:28,800 Speaker 11: stopped being the. 2472 02:25:28,959 --> 02:25:30,199 Speaker 16: Mule of America. 2473 02:25:30,600 --> 02:25:34,320 Speaker 11: When we go to the er, they don't see us. 2474 02:25:35,120 --> 02:25:38,440 Speaker 11: When we are in labor. They figure, just like they 2475 02:25:38,520 --> 02:25:41,240 Speaker 11: did with the slave, will go birth your baby and 2476 02:25:41,320 --> 02:25:44,640 Speaker 11: shut up. There was a black woman in labor with 2477 02:25:44,760 --> 02:25:50,080 Speaker 11: her third child within this past month twoenty twenty five. 2478 02:25:50,360 --> 02:25:54,320 Speaker 11: Now we've come a long way, allegedly from Charles Drew, 2479 02:25:54,400 --> 02:25:57,520 Speaker 11: who has denied access to a white hospital. 2480 02:25:57,840 --> 02:25:58,120 Speaker 16: Okay. 2481 02:25:58,560 --> 02:26:05,640 Speaker 11: However, Francis Hospital in northwest Indiana evaluated a black woman 2482 02:26:06,080 --> 02:26:09,680 Speaker 11: in active labor with her third baby. Carl sent the 2483 02:26:09,800 --> 02:26:13,840 Speaker 11: lady home, told her we can't be bothered, you're not ready. 2484 02:26:14,480 --> 02:26:18,080 Speaker 11: She delivered the baby by herself in the car on 2485 02:26:18,200 --> 02:26:21,640 Speaker 11: the highway eight minutes after being kicked out the hospital. 2486 02:26:21,760 --> 02:26:24,680 Speaker 16: Okay, so we have not come a long way. 2487 02:26:24,760 --> 02:26:29,280 Speaker 11: I started the show with saying that the statistics are 2488 02:26:29,400 --> 02:26:32,720 Speaker 11: really just as bad as they were in the nineteen thirties. 2489 02:26:32,879 --> 02:26:37,039 Speaker 11: In the nineteen thirties, black women were dying left and right. 2490 02:26:38,320 --> 02:26:41,720 Speaker 11: We didn't have access to white hospitals. We allegedly had 2491 02:26:41,959 --> 02:26:48,200 Speaker 11: been disenfranchised educationally, economically. Well, now we're doctors, lawyer's Indian chiefs. Okay, 2492 02:26:48,440 --> 02:26:51,680 Speaker 11: we've run for president, but we are still dying at 2493 02:26:51,720 --> 02:26:52,640 Speaker 11: the highest rates. 2494 02:26:53,200 --> 02:26:56,359 Speaker 16: Yes, there is still structural racism. 2495 02:26:56,720 --> 02:27:00,520 Speaker 11: There is still a difference and a despair in the 2496 02:27:00,640 --> 02:27:05,800 Speaker 11: treatment of Becky versus Sidiqua. No, we're treated the same, 2497 02:27:06,080 --> 02:27:08,920 Speaker 11: We're not even seen the same. And so to see 2498 02:27:09,240 --> 02:27:13,200 Speaker 11: the patient and serve the patient, it is best done, 2499 02:27:13,280 --> 02:27:17,080 Speaker 11: Carl by black physicians, who represent less than ten percent 2500 02:27:17,560 --> 02:27:22,320 Speaker 11: of the total US physician body. So we need to 2501 02:27:22,680 --> 02:27:29,039 Speaker 11: encourage Howard University, Maharry Medical College, and other historically black 2502 02:27:29,120 --> 02:27:33,160 Speaker 11: colleges to crank out our black doctors. Eighty eight percent 2503 02:27:33,200 --> 02:27:36,560 Speaker 11: of black doctors come from HBCUs. And although I went 2504 02:27:36,600 --> 02:27:40,440 Speaker 11: to George Washington in my hometown Washington, DC to train, 2505 02:27:41,120 --> 02:27:44,240 Speaker 11: I went to the university where Reagan went when he 2506 02:27:44,440 --> 02:27:47,320 Speaker 11: was shot, our only living president to be shot and 2507 02:27:47,360 --> 02:27:52,160 Speaker 11: treated at a hospital. HBCUs craik ount the majority over 2508 02:27:52,280 --> 02:27:56,840 Speaker 11: two thirds of our black doctors. So black people who 2509 02:27:57,000 --> 02:28:00,240 Speaker 11: want to leave behind a legacy before leaving this earth. 2510 02:28:00,959 --> 02:28:04,800 Speaker 11: Many of our callers have been over sixty. Guess what 2511 02:28:04,959 --> 02:28:07,760 Speaker 11: you can do, besides leaving money to your kids, who 2512 02:28:07,800 --> 02:28:11,880 Speaker 11: may mock the whole thing up, donate to your HBCUs 2513 02:28:12,360 --> 02:28:16,279 Speaker 11: to further the excellence and the cultivation of black doctors. 2514 02:28:16,400 --> 02:28:17,480 Speaker 11: It does matter, Carl. 2515 02:28:18,560 --> 02:28:18,720 Speaker 3: Yeah. 2516 02:28:18,920 --> 02:28:21,600 Speaker 1: And the sad thing about HBCUs many of them in 2517 02:28:21,680 --> 02:28:24,920 Speaker 1: the professional schools, whether it be a dentistry or or 2518 02:28:26,040 --> 02:28:29,680 Speaker 1: medical or or even the doctor, like any kind of 2519 02:28:29,760 --> 02:28:33,360 Speaker 1: doctors that the folks from other countries, you know, they 2520 02:28:33,360 --> 02:28:36,560 Speaker 1: don't look like us, but they go to the HBECUS 2521 02:28:36,600 --> 02:28:38,840 Speaker 1: to get their medical training. So this is something we've 2522 02:28:38,879 --> 02:28:40,959 Speaker 1: got it. We've got but that's for another show because 2523 02:28:40,959 --> 02:28:43,320 Speaker 1: that's a whole different area. We've got to tackle family. 2524 02:28:43,400 --> 02:28:44,760 Speaker 1: So let's move on that because I have a bunch 2525 02:28:44,800 --> 02:28:47,200 Speaker 1: of folks around it. Got questions for a doctor A. 2526 02:28:47,560 --> 02:28:50,240 Speaker 1: Ruth is online too, calling from DC, Ruth grand Rising. 2527 02:28:50,280 --> 02:28:56,000 Speaker 1: Your question for doctor A. Is Ruth there online too? 2528 02:28:56,560 --> 02:28:58,600 Speaker 1: All right, let's move on there. Let's let's go out. 2529 02:28:59,040 --> 02:28:59,280 Speaker 2: Hello. 2530 02:29:00,080 --> 02:29:00,800 Speaker 1: Oh there you are. 2531 02:29:01,280 --> 02:29:07,279 Speaker 7: Yes, Yes, I'm here, doctor A. You talked about relieving 2532 02:29:07,400 --> 02:29:14,040 Speaker 7: pain from neuropathy and I didn't get that information. Could 2533 02:29:14,120 --> 02:29:15,560 Speaker 7: you give that information again? 2534 02:29:19,440 --> 02:29:22,440 Speaker 11: Thank you for calling, Ruth, and thank you for your 2535 02:29:22,720 --> 02:29:27,160 Speaker 11: strength and your proactive interest. So I was speaking about 2536 02:29:27,320 --> 02:29:32,959 Speaker 11: the life wave patches, and this is using LightWave technology, 2537 02:29:33,280 --> 02:29:34,760 Speaker 11: so basically it's wearable. 2538 02:29:35,120 --> 02:29:35,959 Speaker 17: I wear them. 2539 02:29:36,200 --> 02:29:39,119 Speaker 11: I have been wearing them now for two years. As 2540 02:29:39,160 --> 02:29:43,160 Speaker 11: we close out twenty twenty five, Ruth, I don't have neuropathy, 2541 02:29:43,640 --> 02:29:47,240 Speaker 11: but I have a very severe back pain for being 2542 02:29:47,320 --> 02:29:50,440 Speaker 11: a twenty plus year obstetrician. See, I don't leave the 2543 02:29:50,560 --> 02:29:54,560 Speaker 11: pushing stage of labor to the nurse. I wedged my 2544 02:29:54,760 --> 02:29:58,080 Speaker 11: little body in between that woman's legs and I'm doing 2545 02:29:58,160 --> 02:30:01,280 Speaker 11: all the pushing with her. I've got a herniated disk 2546 02:30:01,360 --> 02:30:04,960 Speaker 11: to show for it, and the pain is excruciating. I 2547 02:30:05,120 --> 02:30:07,560 Speaker 11: almost feel like I'm in a vice script when I'm 2548 02:30:07,600 --> 02:30:10,720 Speaker 11: in pain. And so I've been using life Wave patches 2549 02:30:11,040 --> 02:30:15,080 Speaker 11: because I can't gobble down opioids and become addicted. Okay, 2550 02:30:15,560 --> 02:30:20,680 Speaker 11: I am tested regularly as a practicing physician. Secondly, I 2551 02:30:20,720 --> 02:30:24,320 Speaker 11: don't want to gobble down a boatload of tylinol. There's 2552 02:30:24,360 --> 02:30:26,840 Speaker 11: side effects to the liver. I don't want to gulpe 2553 02:30:26,879 --> 02:30:31,199 Speaker 11: down a boatload of e motren or advil. There's side 2554 02:30:31,240 --> 02:30:34,800 Speaker 11: effects to chronic use of anything over the counter, even 2555 02:30:34,840 --> 02:30:38,080 Speaker 11: a sleep aid it's only meant for two months. So therefore, 2556 02:30:38,600 --> 02:30:44,680 Speaker 11: using a wearable patch that activates infrared technology to activate 2557 02:30:44,840 --> 02:30:49,840 Speaker 11: your own body stem cells, I've had pain relief.

How 2640 02:36:06,040 --> 02:36:06,520 Speaker 11: long ago? 2641 02:36:08,160 --> 02:36:13,160 Speaker 15: Oh, I would say, well over a year ago. 2642 02:36:13,959 --> 02:36:19,000 Speaker 11: No cholesterol got okay. So my recommendation to you is 2643 02:36:19,160 --> 02:36:22,960 Speaker 11: this a whole second opinion. Here is the bottom line. 2644 02:36:23,160 --> 02:36:27,720 Speaker 11: At age eighty one, you have contributed at least forty 2645 02:36:28,040 --> 02:36:31,440 Speaker 11: years to tax paying in the United States of America, 2646 02:36:31,560 --> 02:36:35,080 Speaker 11: at least Okay. Therefore, you are entitled and I want 2647 02:36:35,120 --> 02:36:39,320 Speaker 11: you to act like a presidential alumnus in terms of 2648 02:36:39,400 --> 02:36:44,880 Speaker 11: your entitlement to phenomenal health care. When a person has 2649 02:36:45,040 --> 02:36:48,440 Speaker 11: any medical diagnosis, I don't care if it's migrain, headache, 2650 02:36:49,080 --> 02:36:54,640 Speaker 11: allergy to tomato sauce, or high blood pressure or cancer. 2651 02:36:55,280 --> 02:36:59,720 Speaker 11: Your entitlement based on a new diagnosis is a second opinion. 2652 02:37:00,280 --> 02:37:02,720 Speaker 11: When you get that second opinion, you're going to bring 2653 02:37:03,000 --> 02:37:07,080 Speaker 11: up that you're having stool changes. Then they don't give 2654 02:37:07,160 --> 02:37:10,760 Speaker 11: them a stool sample. Let's not guess about this once again. 2655 02:37:11,120 --> 02:37:14,200 Speaker 11: There are people that are in Africa and countries that 2656 02:37:14,280 --> 02:37:18,440 Speaker 11: are ravaged with war. There are people who cannot find 2657 02:37:19,120 --> 02:37:22,560 Speaker 11: a nearby hospital literally to save their life. There are 2658 02:37:22,600 --> 02:37:25,880 Speaker 11: people who would have to travel in Gaza in the 2659 02:37:25,959 --> 02:37:30,240 Speaker 11: African continent hundreds of miles to get to a safe hospital. 2660 02:37:30,720 --> 02:37:33,320 Speaker 11: When we're in the United States of America, I cannot 2661 02:37:33,440 --> 02:37:38,680 Speaker 11: remind us enough we have access, which globally is not 2662 02:37:38,879 --> 02:37:43,640 Speaker 11: a reality. So you're already accessing as a woman who 2663 02:37:43,920 --> 02:37:45,520 Speaker 11: knows her rights. 2664 02:37:46,000 --> 02:37:47,600 Speaker 16: You are showing up. 2665 02:37:47,720 --> 02:37:52,160 Speaker 11: To your health care provider, so kudos do more because 2666 02:37:52,200 --> 02:37:55,840 Speaker 11: you've got intelligent questions that are not being answered. You 2667 02:37:56,000 --> 02:38:00,520 Speaker 11: may have high blood pressure if you really do repeat 2668 02:38:00,560 --> 02:38:04,080 Speaker 11: itself no matter who the provider is. So when you 2669 02:38:04,240 --> 02:38:07,000 Speaker 11: show up to a whole new provider as a brand 2670 02:38:07,040 --> 02:38:10,960 Speaker 11: new patient, they should be able to confirm you have 2671 02:38:11,080 --> 02:38:13,600 Speaker 11: high blood pressure and you have high cholesterol. 2672 02:38:14,000 --> 02:38:14,480 Speaker 16: They should be. 2673 02:38:14,520 --> 02:38:18,120 Speaker 11: Able to dive deep into what is going on with 2674 02:38:18,320 --> 02:38:23,280 Speaker 11: the stool changes. Number one is important to know high 2675 02:38:23,360 --> 02:38:26,880 Speaker 11: blood pressure. We treat it because we want to prevent 2676 02:38:27,040 --> 02:38:30,680 Speaker 11: heart disease. Heart disease is not only the number one 2677 02:38:30,879 --> 02:38:36,240 Speaker 11: killer of people in this country. Okay, our stress levels 2678 02:38:36,280 --> 02:38:41,039 Speaker 11: are killing us, but women since nineteen eighty four die 2679 02:38:41,160 --> 02:38:44,520 Speaker 11: at a higher rate from heart disease than our male counterpart. 2680 02:38:45,200 --> 02:38:48,080 Speaker 11: So you calling it eighty one. If I even make 2681 02:38:48,240 --> 02:38:51,080 Speaker 11: one difference on this show and it's your life, then 2682 02:38:51,120 --> 02:38:54,240 Speaker 11: I want to be that game changer.

Aim for a daily sodium intake 2687 02:39:07,840 --> 02:39:13,840 Speaker 11: that is fifteen hundred milligrams or less. Sodium causes fluid retention, 2688 02:39:14,240 --> 02:39:17,760 Speaker 11: and especially as you age, your sodium intake is going 2689 02:39:17,840 --> 02:39:20,760 Speaker 11: to be one of the most important criteria as to 2690 02:39:20,840 --> 02:39:23,440 Speaker 11: whether or not you have high blood pressure and high 2691 02:39:23,480 --> 02:39:28,720 Speaker 11: cholesterol that persists.

You also want 2814 02:47:27,959 --> 02:47:33,000 Speaker 11: to consult a physical therapist. Physical therapists can be immensely 2815 02:47:33,280 --> 02:47:37,400 Speaker 11: useful in helping you to devise a program that you're 2816 02:47:37,440 --> 02:47:40,040 Speaker 11: going to follow, and then you follow up with them 2817 02:47:40,400 --> 02:47:44,720 Speaker 11: and you progress over. Every three months, you can modify 2818 02:47:45,160 --> 02:47:49,600 Speaker 11: what your exercise regimen is and strengthen yourself even further 2819 02:47:50,040 --> 02:47:54,080 Speaker 11: so that you're preventing the development of osteoporosis. You should 2820 02:47:54,080 --> 02:47:59,120 Speaker 11: have a bone scan done regularly to survey for osteoporosis. 2821 02:47:59,320 --> 02:48:03,560 Speaker 11: Now number two, I'm going to have to develop more 2822 02:48:03,600 --> 02:48:06,960 Speaker 11: of a Rolodex for our listenership, because you guys are 2823 02:48:07,080 --> 02:48:13,440 Speaker 11: so investigative and so desiring of proper medical doctors. I'll 2824 02:48:13,480 --> 02:48:17,240 Speaker 11: tell you one thing. I ran a solo practice in 2825 02:48:17,720 --> 02:48:21,520 Speaker 11: Bergen County of New Jersey, and I ran that solo 2826 02:48:21,640 --> 02:48:25,600 Speaker 11: practice up until the year twenty fourteen. In the year 2827 02:48:25,640 --> 02:48:29,160 Speaker 11: twenty fourteen, a number of horrible things happened in America 2828 02:48:29,640 --> 02:48:34,720 Speaker 11: the electronic medical record. Okay, that alone drove the majority 2829 02:48:35,280 --> 02:48:38,560 Speaker 11: of black and brown doctors out of business because there 2830 02:48:38,640 --> 02:48:42,800 Speaker 11: was an upfront cost of five figures and doctors always 2831 02:48:42,800 --> 02:48:45,080 Speaker 11: get paid on the back end. See when you come 2832 02:48:45,160 --> 02:48:49,320 Speaker 11: with your copay and then we submit a claim to 2833 02:48:49,480 --> 02:48:53,600 Speaker 11: your insurance company, we are begging for some reimbursement of 2834 02:48:53,680 --> 02:48:57,560 Speaker 11: money we've already spent. So the idea of a five 2835 02:48:57,720 --> 02:49:02,040 Speaker 11: figure upfront costs drove out of business. You have now 2836 02:49:02,360 --> 02:49:07,040 Speaker 11: MedStar and other conglomerates that have taken over hospital after 2837 02:49:07,200 --> 02:49:10,880 Speaker 11: hospital after hospital. I'm not sure who the conglomerate is 2838 02:49:11,000 --> 02:49:14,160 Speaker 11: in Michigan, but I just told you a story of 2839 02:49:14,240 --> 02:49:20,199 Speaker 11: a conglomerate in Northwest Indiana, Franciscan hospital that literally screwed 2840 02:49:20,280 --> 02:49:23,240 Speaker 11: over the black woman. That baby could have died in 2841 02:49:23,360 --> 02:49:25,600 Speaker 11: the car. That baby could have been choked by his 2842 02:49:25,720 --> 02:49:28,880 Speaker 11: own umbilical cord. She could have bled to death. And 2843 02:49:29,000 --> 02:49:31,520 Speaker 11: truly when she showed up at the hospital having had 2844 02:49:31,560 --> 02:49:37,119 Speaker 11: her third baby in the car after subpar care from 2845 02:49:37,200 --> 02:49:41,480 Speaker 11: Franciscan hospital, and when she showed up, she was hemorrhaging. 2846 02:49:42,120 --> 02:49:44,879 Speaker 11: Hemorrhage is the number one cause of death for black women, 2847 02:49:45,480 --> 02:49:47,600 Speaker 11: so they put her at risk for that. So you're 2848 02:49:47,720 --> 02:49:49,560 Speaker 11: absolutely right to be hesitant. 2849 02:49:49,840 --> 02:49:50,120 Speaker 16: Okay. 2850 02:49:50,840 --> 02:49:55,320 Speaker 11: When the conglomerates took over, they have a conglomerate philosophy, 2851 02:49:55,760 --> 02:50:00,200 Speaker 11: so that's now indoctrinated onto all the doctors. Many your 2852 02:50:00,280 --> 02:50:02,959 Speaker 11: best doctor doctor to be thought right, they're. 2853 02:50:02,800 --> 02:50:05,160 Speaker 16: Gonna be concierge doctors.

Practice deep abdominal breathing, and you may have 2901 02:52:17,680 --> 02:52:20,640 Speaker 11: to do this outside of the emergency setting. Do not 2902 02:52:20,920 --> 02:52:26,040 Speaker 11: wait until you're in an anxiety provoking situation, having the 2903 02:52:26,480 --> 02:52:31,400 Speaker 11: onset of diarrhea under a normal circumstance, when you're bored, 2904 02:52:31,560 --> 02:52:35,120 Speaker 11: when you're doing nothing. I want you to begin to 2905 02:52:35,320 --> 02:52:38,600 Speaker 11: practice so that you can become a black belt expert 2906 02:52:39,000 --> 02:52:43,879 Speaker 11: at breathing. Learn how to breathe from your abdomen, deep 2907 02:52:44,080 --> 02:52:47,760 Speaker 11: in your abdomen, deep in your belly to calm your 2908 02:52:47,879 --> 02:52:52,360 Speaker 11: nervous system. You can actually reset your nervous system through 2909 02:52:52,400 --> 02:52:56,120 Speaker 11: your breathing. You want to focus on something else at 2910 02:52:56,160 --> 02:52:59,640 Speaker 11: the time that you're anxious. To break the anxiety gut 2911 02:52:59,760 --> 02:53:04,680 Speaker 11: side is actually a cycle that feeds and multiplies. Focus 2912 02:53:04,800 --> 02:53:08,120 Speaker 11: your mind the power of the mind. Learn to meditate, 2913 02:53:08,640 --> 02:53:13,320 Speaker 11: practice guided meditation so that you're doing that outside of 2914 02:53:13,440 --> 02:53:17,160 Speaker 11: the emergency circumstance, and then you can apply it during 2915 02:53:17,240 --> 02:53:22,480 Speaker 11: the emergency circumstance. A short walk can also help your 2916 02:53:22,600 --> 02:53:26,600 Speaker 11: body to calm the stress and to release chemicals in 2917 02:53:26,680 --> 02:53:31,520 Speaker 11: your body called endorphins. Hydration can matter if you sip 2918 02:53:31,720 --> 02:53:37,440 Speaker 11: water and you consider electrolyte drinks like Gatorade if you're 2919 02:53:37,520 --> 02:53:40,800 Speaker 11: losing fluids. If you are losing a large amount of 2920 02:53:40,879 --> 02:53:46,880 Speaker 11: fluid through the diarrhea, fluid replacement becomes important long term prevention, 2921 02:53:47,160 --> 02:53:50,320 Speaker 11: you want to do stress management. As I mentioned earlier. 2922 02:53:50,840 --> 02:53:54,640 Speaker 11: The second thing that you can do to really monitor 2923 02:53:54,800 --> 02:53:59,560 Speaker 11: and note your progress so that you are encouraging yourself 2924 02:53:59,760 --> 02:54:04,560 Speaker 11: is to journal. Journal how you at point a say 2925 02:54:04,680 --> 02:54:10,680 Speaker 11: starting today December the tenth day in twenty twenty five, 2926 02:54:11,520 --> 02:54:15,879 Speaker 11: how you manage this symptom, what provokes or triggers the symptom, 2927 02:54:16,680 --> 02:54:18,920 Speaker 11: and then go all the way to June of twenty 2928 02:54:19,120 --> 02:54:21,360 Speaker 11: twenty six, and we're going to watch how you do 2929 02:54:21,600 --> 02:54:25,920 Speaker 11: better and better and better at preventing the triggers and 2930 02:54:26,040 --> 02:54:30,160 Speaker 11: then preventing the reaction from the triggers. You want to 2931 02:54:30,240 --> 02:54:34,560 Speaker 11: reduce your caffeine intake, your alcohol intake, your intake of 2932 02:54:34,680 --> 02:54:38,840 Speaker 11: spicy and fatty foods and carbonated beverages. You want to 2933 02:54:38,959 --> 02:54:44,840 Speaker 11: eat simple carbohydrates like plain rice, pasta, and toast. These 2934 02:54:44,920 --> 02:54:48,280 Speaker 11: are things that are going to hold in your digestive track. 2935 02:54:48,680 --> 02:54:53,520 Speaker 11: An earlier caler mentioned oatmeal that that promotes good gut health, 2936 02:54:53,879 --> 02:54:57,760 Speaker 11: as well as taking probiotics regularly so that your intestines 2937 02:54:57,760 --> 02:55:01,360 Speaker 11: are healthy and you have to healthy formation of healthy 2938 02:55:01,520 --> 02:55:05,840 Speaker 11: stool so that you're less likely to evacuate upon the 2939 02:55:05,920 --> 02:55:09,160 Speaker 11: trigger of anxiety. All of these things are going to 2940 02:55:09,280 --> 02:55:14,760 Speaker 11: help to reduce this anxiety triggered diarrhea. Your gut brains 2941 02:55:14,920 --> 02:55:19,080 Speaker 11: are directly connected and there is a fight or flight 2942 02:55:19,280 --> 02:55:23,160 Speaker 11: response that's being triggered. So a mental health therapist is 2943 02:55:23,200 --> 02:55:27,720 Speaker 11: another important tool to be able to directly address why 2944 02:55:27,760 --> 02:55:31,360 Speaker 11: am I having a fight or flight response? Why am 2945 02:55:31,440 --> 02:55:36,080 Speaker 11: I locked into this saga? Not only how I can 2946 02:55:36,240 --> 02:55:41,080 Speaker 11: nutritionally improve the health of my intestines. But the mental 2947 02:55:41,120 --> 02:55:45,440 Speaker 11: health therapists can help you rewire your brain so that 2948 02:55:45,600 --> 02:55:49,640 Speaker 11: you don't have anxiety period and you definitely are not 2949 02:55:49,800 --> 02:55:54,400 Speaker 11: being triggered to diarrhea from that motivation. Thank you for calling. 2950 02:55:54,760 --> 02:55:59,800 Speaker 10: Okay, I've seen two medical doctors and bother them have 2951 02:56:00,040 --> 02:56:04,280 Speaker 10: I have prescribed some pills called search a Line, and 2952 02:56:06,360 --> 02:56:08,000 Speaker 10: it's difficult for me they take the search a Line 2953 02:56:08,480 --> 02:56:12,440 Speaker 10: pills because of the after effects. There's a long list 2954 02:56:12,520 --> 02:56:16,240 Speaker 10: of after effects that are very, very negative. I'm a 2955 02:56:16,280 --> 02:56:19,400 Speaker 10: little praying oid and taking these pills. So I'd rather, 2956 02:56:19,840 --> 02:56:22,000 Speaker 10: you know, take your advice and do it in the 2957 02:56:22,080 --> 02:56:25,440 Speaker 10: manner in which you've told me so that what should 2958 02:56:25,440 --> 02:56:26,880 Speaker 10: be helpful. I really appreciate it. 2959 02:56:27,320 --> 02:56:32,360 Speaker 11: I have prescribed searchal Lane to hundreds of patients. Okay, 2960 02:56:32,760 --> 02:56:37,560 Speaker 11: so it is a well studied medication. But like any prescription, 2961 02:56:37,800 --> 02:56:42,680 Speaker 11: there's a lock and key. How does this prescription drug 2962 02:56:43,480 --> 02:56:48,600 Speaker 11: fit the chemistry of said person's body. So always, as 2963 02:56:48,640 --> 02:56:54,400 Speaker 11: a practitioner on both sides western and Eastern and afrocentric medicine, 2964 02:56:54,879 --> 02:56:59,040 Speaker 11: I holistically look at each of every individual. I follow 2965 02:56:59,120 --> 02:56:59,959 Speaker 11: people long term. 2966 02:57:00,320 --> 02:57:01,640 Speaker 16: I don't want to be a wham bam. 2967 02:57:01,760 --> 02:57:05,640 Speaker 11: Thank you ma'am doctor, I specifically went into solo practice 2968 02:57:06,000 --> 02:57:11,360 Speaker 11: to form relationships. So with something like anxiety, you need 2969 02:57:11,480 --> 02:57:16,720 Speaker 11: a relationship with a provider. This provider, their relationship with 2970 02:57:16,840 --> 02:57:20,440 Speaker 11: you grows over time. They are watching what works and 2971 02:57:20,560 --> 02:57:24,080 Speaker 11: what doesn't work for you as a human being. Nobody 2972 02:57:24,120 --> 02:57:28,280 Speaker 11: else on earth has your fingerprint, so I could care 2973 02:57:28,400 --> 02:57:31,680 Speaker 11: less what the book says about circle Lane. 2974 02:57:31,760 --> 02:57:34,000 Speaker 16: The bottom line is it's not working for you. 2975 02:57:34,920 --> 02:57:36,840 Speaker 11: So there may be a different medication. 2976 02:57:38,200 --> 02:57:40,600 Speaker 1: Rob I'm sorry, you got to let you go. We've 2977 02:57:40,600 --> 02:57:42,560 Speaker 1: got some more folks you're trying to get on. Kevin. 2978 02:57:42,640 --> 02:57:46,240 Speaker 1: Let's move on this because Roberts got enough.

DC's got a question 2985 02:57:59,840 --> 02:58:03,400 Speaker 1: for He's on line for brother, your question for doctor A. 2986 02:58:05,400 --> 02:58:10,000 Speaker 14: Grand rising brother question called and doctor A a question 2987 02:58:10,200 --> 02:58:16,360 Speaker 14: about prostate cancer. Any intermediate status that has not grown 2988 02:58:16,440 --> 02:58:25,560 Speaker 14: outside of the prostate definitely high PSA scores, UH with 2989 02:58:27,280 --> 02:58:32,040 Speaker 14: already had biopsies and all that. What do you have 2990 02:58:32,640 --> 02:58:38,520 Speaker 14: homopathically that could help with the option against surgeries and radiation. 2991 02:58:41,320 --> 02:58:43,360 Speaker 11: First of all, thank you for calling. Thank you for 2992 02:58:43,520 --> 02:58:47,720 Speaker 11: your courage and your transparency. We cannot talk enough about 2993 02:58:47,800 --> 02:58:53,360 Speaker 11: prostate cancer. As an OBG y N board certified in America, 2994 02:58:53,959 --> 02:58:59,119 Speaker 11: my hero, now deceased, was a Jamaican black man who 2995 02:58:59,320 --> 02:59:04,320 Speaker 11: was extraor ordinary as a gynecologic surgeon. He was one 2996 02:59:04,360 --> 02:59:08,960 Speaker 11: of the top robotic surgeons on the globe. However, he 2997 02:59:09,120 --> 02:59:13,480 Speaker 11: lost his life to prostate cancer, which means he cared 2998 02:59:13,600 --> 02:59:17,440 Speaker 11: more about the community than about his own self. And 2999 02:59:17,560 --> 02:59:20,600 Speaker 11: that's the case for many physicians. So I'm happy to 3000 02:59:20,720 --> 02:59:25,920 Speaker 11: talk about prostate cancer for our national audience. Active surveillance 3001 02:59:26,320 --> 02:59:33,920 Speaker 11: or monitoring, curative options like surgery or radiation, and newer 3002 02:59:34,120 --> 02:59:43,200 Speaker 11: focal therapies like HIFU cryotherapy they target the tumor. All 3003 02:59:43,280 --> 02:59:47,560 Speaker 11: of these things are aimed at eliminating the cancer or 3004 02:59:47,879 --> 02:59:52,200 Speaker 11: managing the slow growing tumors that the caller is talking about. 3005 02:59:53,520 --> 02:59:58,720 Speaker 11: You have to specifically have a team that knows about 3006 02:59:58,920 --> 03:00:02,120 Speaker 11: your personal health. Like Carl said, we don't even have 3007 03:00:02,280 --> 03:00:05,959 Speaker 11: the time in this show to go into any one 3008 03:00:06,120 --> 03:00:10,480 Speaker 11: individual's detailed health the way a doctor needs to do 3009 03:00:10,640 --> 03:00:13,920 Speaker 11: in the office. They're doing a physical exam, They're getting 3010 03:00:14,000 --> 03:00:18,320 Speaker 11: into detail about your health, your lifestyle, your family history, etc. 3011 03:00:19,320 --> 03:00:23,560 Speaker 11: So there are a number of common treatment approaches. Active surveillance, 3012 03:00:23,640 --> 03:00:25,920 Speaker 11: which is what it sounds like the caller is doing. 3013 03:00:26,440 --> 03:00:31,160 Speaker 11: For low risk cancers. This can involve close monitoring of 3014 03:00:31,280 --> 03:00:37,199 Speaker 11: your PSA tests, digital rectal exams and biopsies, delaying treatments 3015 03:00:37,280 --> 03:00:42,560 Speaker 11: and signs of progress, and avoiding the treatment side effects. Okay, 3016 03:00:42,920 --> 03:00:47,199 Speaker 11: other people need surgery, other people need radiation, other people 3017 03:00:47,280 --> 03:00:51,120 Speaker 11: need hormone therapy. But yes, there are holistic things you 3018 03:00:51,200 --> 03:00:51,480 Speaker 11: can do. 3019 03:00:52,200 --> 03:00:55,680 Speaker 16: I've talked about it on several other shows. 3020 03:00:56,200 --> 03:00:59,879 Speaker 11: What are the things that you can do? Diet altering. 3021 03:01:01,000 --> 03:01:04,520 Speaker 11: You've got to get that omega three fatty acid into 3022 03:01:04,600 --> 03:01:08,959 Speaker 11: your diet. You've got to drink alkaline water. You've got 3023 03:01:09,080 --> 03:01:15,039 Speaker 11: to begin to fortify with a number of basic things 3024 03:01:15,400 --> 03:01:20,120 Speaker 11: that are supplementation. This supplementation things that you can do, 3025 03:01:20,760 --> 03:01:24,640 Speaker 11: such as making sure you're taking a multi vitamin, making 3026 03:01:24,680 --> 03:01:29,520 Speaker 11: sure you're taking magnesium, making sure you're taking potassium. These 3027 03:01:29,560 --> 03:01:31,439 Speaker 11: are some of the things that are going to reduce 3028 03:01:31,959 --> 03:01:37,080 Speaker 11: the likelihood that the PSA level rises. You're already being monitored. 3029 03:01:37,120 --> 03:01:40,800 Speaker 11: It's extremely important that you stay in a monitoring system. 3030 03:01:42,040 --> 03:01:45,880 Speaker 11: So all of these things are my basic suggestions. Focus 3031 03:01:45,959 --> 03:01:50,440 Speaker 11: on your overall lifestyle well being, your nutrition and your 3032 03:01:50,560 --> 03:01:54,440 Speaker 11: mind body practices. Make sure that your diet is rich 3033 03:01:54,560 --> 03:01:58,920 Speaker 11: in fruits and vegetables, and that you're reducing stress. Carl, 3034 03:01:59,080 --> 03:02:03,640 Speaker 11: recognizing that we literally are down to minutes we may 3035 03:02:03,800 --> 03:02:07,680 Speaker 11: want to do instead of two consecutive hours, realizing our 3036 03:02:07,760 --> 03:02:11,920 Speaker 11: listenership is Johnny, come lately, do an hour in the morning, 3037 03:02:12,080 --> 03:02:14,720 Speaker 11: come back, and maybe do an hour the following day 3038 03:02:15,240 --> 03:02:19,200 Speaker 11: so that callers are alerted doctor A is back. Wake up. 3039 03:02:19,360 --> 03:02:21,600 Speaker 11: Because last time I was here was September. We had 3040 03:02:21,680 --> 03:02:24,640 Speaker 11: several months of lag. So we want to get these 3041 03:02:24,720 --> 03:02:27,000 Speaker 11: callers in and we we're going to do our best, 3042 03:02:27,320 --> 03:02:28,240 Speaker 11: but we're out of time. 3043 03:02:28,959 --> 03:02:30,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're right right out of time. And it's 3044 03:02:30,840 --> 03:02:33,800 Speaker 1: still a bunch of folks got questions. You know, if 3045 03:02:33,840 --> 03:02:35,880 Speaker 1: folks just you know, check out on Facebook and I 3046 03:02:35,920 --> 03:02:38,560 Speaker 1: post on there who's coming on? And the doctor's coming on? 3047 03:02:38,840 --> 03:02:40,400 Speaker 1: Don't wait till the last minute. And I got a 3048 03:02:40,440 --> 03:02:43,160 Speaker 1: whole bunch of tweets questions, A bunch of tweet questions 3049 03:02:43,240 --> 03:02:46,800 Speaker 1: for you real quickly, probably a yes or no answer 3050 03:02:46,800 --> 03:02:48,000 Speaker 1: if you can tell me this because this is a 3051 03:02:48,080 --> 03:02:51,880 Speaker 1: couple of tweets are asking about the increasing dementia all timers. 3052 03:02:52,080 --> 03:02:54,080 Speaker 1: Is that caused by the people who took the jab? 3053 03:02:57,800 --> 03:02:58,480 Speaker 4: By people who. 3054 03:02:58,440 --> 03:02:59,920 Speaker 11: Took what the jab? 3055 03:03:00,240 --> 03:03:01,920 Speaker 1: The show? 3056 03:03:02,040 --> 03:03:02,160 Speaker 4: Oh? 3057 03:03:02,320 --> 03:03:06,040 Speaker 11: Okay, the jackab So the jury is still out on 3058 03:03:06,160 --> 03:03:09,120 Speaker 11: the JAB. The problem with the JAB is that. 3059 03:03:09,200 --> 03:03:10,120 Speaker 16: They're still jabbing. 3060 03:03:10,240 --> 03:03:14,360 Speaker 11: There are still boosters being rendered to select bodies of people, 3061 03:03:14,720 --> 03:03:20,160 Speaker 11: like immunal compromising elders. That original vaccine dose we know 3062 03:03:20,480 --> 03:03:26,120 Speaker 11: for a fact caused clotting disorders, autoimmune disorders to go 3063 03:03:27,280 --> 03:03:31,720 Speaker 11: ape shit in the black community. Okay, so definitely negative 3064 03:03:31,760 --> 03:03:36,280 Speaker 11: effects were there. Alzheimer's dementia is something that doesn't pop 3065 03:03:36,400 --> 03:03:40,640 Speaker 11: up in two seconds. It evolves over a progression of time. 3066 03:03:41,480 --> 03:03:45,400 Speaker 11: A lot of people have Alzheimer's dementia and are undiagnosed. 3067 03:03:45,800 --> 03:03:48,720 Speaker 11: We're just saying they're off, they're funny, they're weird. No, 3068 03:03:49,640 --> 03:03:53,080 Speaker 11: so it's going to take years, Carl. We are nowhere 3069 03:03:53,200 --> 03:03:57,080 Speaker 11: near close enough to be able to assess the long 3070 03:03:57,280 --> 03:04:00,240 Speaker 11: term consequences of the JAB. We don't know yet. 3071 03:04:03,520 --> 03:04:05,520 Speaker 1: All right. That's that's it, doctor A. That's it for 3072 03:04:05,600 --> 03:04:08,080 Speaker 1: the class. I would ask you where to folks reach you, 3073 03:04:08,120 --> 03:04:09,400 Speaker 1: whether they have to wait till you come back and 3074 03:04:09,520 --> 03:04:09,920 Speaker 1: next time. 3075 03:04:09,959 --> 03:04:13,400 Speaker 11: All right, that's correct, that's correct.
