1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: I don't want the week to be completed without making 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: sure I get this particular bit of audio in. Well, 3 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: let me say this before I play this. Coming up 4 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: on the show, we're going to talk to my new allergist, 5 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: doctor Chris Colosso. He's been my wife's allergist for five 6 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: years and she had bad allergies and he healed her. 7 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: And that's worth a lot to me. That's very, very 8 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: important to me that my wife be healthy. She's always happy, 9 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: but that she'd be healthy, and what a difference it 10 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: has made in her life. And so she finally dragged 11 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: me to see him, and I was so impressed as 12 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: I began this process, with his willingness to answer questions 13 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: and the research he's done and the focus he has 14 00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: in his practice. Anyway, if you have allergies, it's pollen season. 15 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 1: Now it's just started. You're about to start feeling them. 16 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,559 Speaker 1: You're I think you're going to really enjoy this. Now, 17 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: let me get to this interview. Let me get to 18 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: this statement by President Trump, because we are the energy 19 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: capital of the world, and this makes me happy as 20 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: a consumer, makes me happy as an investor, but it 21 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: makes me happy for all my friends and neighbors who 22 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: are going to be able to get back to work. 23 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: In the energy industry, a. 24 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 2: Major focus of our fight to defeat inflation is rapidly 25 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 2: reducing the cost of energy. The previous administration cut the 26 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 2: number of new oil and gas leases by ninety five percent, 27 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 2: slowed pipeline construction to a halt, and closed more than 28 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 2: one hundred power plants. We are opening up many of 29 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 2: those power plants right. 30 00:01:47,040 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 3: Now, and frankly, we have never seen anything like it. 31 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: That's why on my first day in office, I declared 32 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 2: a national energy emergency. As you've heard me say many times, 33 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 2: we have more liquid gold under our feet than any 34 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 2: nation on Earth and by far, and now I fully 35 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 2: authorized the most talented team ever assembled to go and 36 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 2: get it. It's called Drill, Baby, Drill. My administration is 37 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 2: also working on a gigantic natural gas pipeline in Alaska, 38 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 2: among the largest in the world, where Japan, South Korea 39 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 2: and other nations want to be our partner, with investments 40 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: of trillions of dollars each. It's never been anything like 41 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 2: that one. It will be true spectacular. It's all set 42 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 2: to go. The permittinggue has gotten and later this week 43 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 2: I will also take historic action to dramatically expand production 44 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 2: of critical minerals and rare earths. 45 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: Right right on, right on, as the Great Russian Ball 46 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: would say the Michael Berry Show. 47 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 2: Please clap, please, please clap. 48 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: My entire child, sleepy Mars with horrible, horrible hours growing 49 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: up in Orange and many of you, I can only 50 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: speak to Southeast Texas, but many of you who grew 51 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: up in this region experienced the same thing. I had 52 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: tubes not once, but twice in my ear, which is 53 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: basically a culvert, to get some drainage out of there, 54 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: and I had a terrible procedure they no longer do 55 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: called windows done. There was a brief period of time 56 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: around seventy nine or eighty where they would go in 57 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: and literally punch holes in your cheekbones and try to 58 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: create a culvert there. The idea being, you know, you're 59 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: kind of releasing them and letting the snot out of there. 60 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: It was extremely painful recovery and it didn't work. And 61 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: to this day, when I have anytime scans are done 62 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: on my face, the doctors will go, ugh, you had 63 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: windows Huh yes, I did, uh yeah, and they don't 64 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: want to tell me. But then I tell him, I 65 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: know it was a terrible procedure. So my entire childhood 66 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: is marked by these terrible, terrible allergies, you know, stopped up, 67 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: your eyes running. You know, it's pollen season right now. 68 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: Those of you who know no, and a lot of 69 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: us do. 70 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 4: Well. 71 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: I meet my wife when I'm eighteen, she's twenty one. 72 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: She's just come from India, and she has no allergies. 73 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: And she can't understand why I'm constantly talking about allergies 74 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 1: and blowing my nose and everything else that goes with 75 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: this disgusting condition. And she has no allergies, and I'm jealous. Well, 76 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: lo and behold. Over the years, she does develop some allergies, 77 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: and unlike me, she does something about it. So five 78 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: years ago she discovered this doctor named Chris Colosso, and 79 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,799 Speaker 1: he came highly commended and he's a superstar allergy doctor 80 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: asthma doctor. So she goes to see him, and you know, 81 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: she does all the tests. Everybody's had those tests done, 82 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: but she probably had them like me when you were 83 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: a kid, and they're much better today. And she comes 84 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: home and tells me, you know, she's allergic to dust mites, 85 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: which are in a lot of beds, so we we 86 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: travel with our own sheets now, and she's going to 87 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: start taking these shots, and so she takes those shots, 88 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: and it took about six months for her to be 89 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: completely allergy free. And it was one of those you know, 90 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: before and after testimonials that you don't really believe. You 91 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: figure the person had to be compensated, but I'm here 92 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 1: to tell you it was true. So she started in 93 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: on me. This was five years ago, so within four years, 94 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: within a year, she just goes for I think a 95 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: monthly and she's the happiest person in the world, and 96 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: you need to go and I, you know, I'm a guy. 97 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: You know, guys, you all understand we we'd rather bitch 98 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: about it than do anything about it. So eventually it 99 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: got so bad and y'all had to hear me go 100 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: through this that in late October early November, I caught 101 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: an upper respiratory which I do about every three years, 102 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: or so, I thought, and it was unbearable. So I 103 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: about a month ago, I guess, go to her doctor 104 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: and I am already on a path to improvement, and 105 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: he identified a number of things for me that I 106 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: had no idea and I'm just impressed because I like people. 107 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: You know, my urologist Mohit Kara, he geeks out on 108 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: eurological stuff. My cardiologist Stan Duckman, he geeks out on 109 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: doctor stuff. I like people who are passionate about what 110 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: they do, the way Russell Lebarra is about the functioning 111 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: of his kitchen or the hiring of people. So the 112 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: more I talk to this guy, I was really fascinated 113 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: by his passion for this issue that affects a lot 114 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: of people. And his clinic is called Advanced Allergy and 115 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: Asthma Center. It's at the corner of Stella Link. Stella 116 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: Lincoln Wesland are basically the same street, and Hulcomb and 117 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,679 Speaker 1: bel Air are basically the same street that has changed names. 118 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: So Wesleyan and Hulcombe or Stella Lincoln, bel Air, wherever 119 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: you want to think about it, that's where they are. Anyway. 120 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: So we get to talking about these allergies and what 121 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: causes them and all this stuff. And I thought, I'm 122 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: fifty four, relatively well read. I ask a lot of 123 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: questions and I learned things from him in just a 124 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: few meetings that I had no idea about. And I said, well, 125 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: let's share that on the air of moment. So I'm 126 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: gonna need you to pay attention. Okay, there'll be a 127 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: quiz at the end. Doctor Chris Colosso. Is his name 128 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: Cola Coo. Don't try to make sense of it. It's 129 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: a Portuguese name, is our guest. Let's start with this 130 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: doctor Chris Colosso. Article in the Chronicle a few days 131 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: ago that said it is pollen season and it's a 132 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: bad season. What does that mean for people? Why does 133 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: that cause us so many problems when it's pollen season? 134 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: Explain it to me like I'm six years. 135 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 5: Old, Michael, thank you for having me on the show. 136 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 5: And so, and you'll start at the beginning. And so, 137 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 5: an allergy is an abnormal response to something that's not 138 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 5: really harmful to you. And so the body, depending on 139 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 5: your genetics or your environment, decides that it's going to 140 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 5: mount this immune response to something and then it every 141 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 5: time you get exposed to that, the body decides, Hey, 142 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 5: this thing is affecting me and I'm going to fight it. 143 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 5: And so that's what they gets allergy. And so pollen, 144 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 5: you know, is ubiquitous and all you know, Houston has 145 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 5: the right amount of humidity and higher levels of pollen 146 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 5: that you know, most people tend to have some level 147 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 5: of rhaniris or running nose and ocular symptoms that means 148 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 5: drainage from your eyes and those kinds of things when 149 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:01,119 Speaker 5: pollen is very high. And so that's that's your introduction 150 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 5: to having allergy. Now most of us, you know, have 151 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 5: a certain level of resilience and that you have those 152 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 5: symptoms and sometimes it's for a day or two and 153 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 5: then you slowly get better. But what happens with allergy 154 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 5: is that it's considered an a topic March. And so 155 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 5: if you start off with one or two things, and 156 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 5: you know, we'll just make up a random amount. You 157 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 5: make one hundred histamine molecules. And histamine is the chemical 158 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 5: that your body secretes. It causes you to have the 159 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 5: itching and the sneezing and the ie itching and the 160 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 5: drainage and post nasal drip and all that kind of stuff. 161 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 5: And you know, the first year, you may make one 162 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 5: hundred histamine molecules, and you know, you can take a 163 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 5: n antihistamine and you do better. And then you know, 164 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 5: with the natural course of the disease, what happens the 165 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 5: following year is you make even more and you become 166 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 5: allergic to more things. And so once you get on 167 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:02,359 Speaker 5: that pathway of this abnormal hume response to something that's harmless, 168 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 5: the body just you know, goes down that pathway and 169 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 5: starts reacting to different pollens, to dust, to animal vander, 170 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 5: to foods, and that's how allergy is. And so most 171 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 5: people within the next week or two, if you and 172 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 5: those who know, no, you're going to get miserable because 173 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 5: once you start seeing you know, I've just noticed the oak, 174 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 5: the leaves are already falling. Once that starts, the oak 175 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 5: pollen is going to start. And so most everyone in 176 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 5: Houston knows when you start seeing a little bit of 177 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 5: that yellow stuff on your car, you're going to get 178 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 5: kind of miserable. And so that's what's coming. And so 179 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 5: as you know, over the years, what you see and 180 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 5: most people may you know, have some idea with this, 181 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 5: is that the symptoms initially started, you know, and they're 182 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 5: not so bad, and then the following year it gets worse, 183 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 5: and it gets worse, and then finally you get to 184 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 5: where you're using multiple different medicines in this and you're 185 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 5: still miserable. And so what rhyanidas does is you have 186 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 5: all these secretions in your nose and they have to 187 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 5: go somewhere, and so, like you know what Michael was 188 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 5: saying with in his case, in the old days, they 189 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 5: had thought, hey, we'll just cut out this path and 190 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 5: that will help everything drain and then we'll be better. 191 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: Doctor Chris Colosso, old right there, old, right there. Our 192 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: guest is doctor Chris Colosso. He's an allergy and asthma specialist. 193 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: He's now my doctor. He's been my wife's doctor in 194 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: a very good one. We'll continue our conversation with him 195 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: right in the middle of pologies coming on. You've got 196 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: the Michael Berry Show. Chris Colosso is our guest. He 197 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: is my new allergy doctor. He's been my wife's doctor 198 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: for five years and proofs in the pudding she has 199 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: had phenomenal results. So all of the problems she had 200 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: with allergies are gone and we are very grateful for it. 201 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: His shop that he is the head of his Advanced 202 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: Allergy and Asthma Center, which is over at Wesleyan and 203 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: Hulcombe you know where that is, just south of West University. 204 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: Doctor Chris Colosso, let me take you back from you 205 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: said that when this pollen comes out, even if we 206 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: take an anahistamine, which which dulls down our natural reaction. 207 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: But you talked about the symptoms of of what happens 208 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: the result, and that's the s not that's the eyes watering, 209 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: that's why is the body doing that. 210 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 5: So the so through evolution allergy initially, and I know 211 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 5: there's caveats to this, and you know, the immune system, 212 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 5: the part that's responsible for allergy, they used to think 213 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 5: used to be directed towards parasites, and so that part 214 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 5: of the immune system used to be very active well 215 00:12:54,600 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 5: against parasites and you know those kinds of pathogens. In 216 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 5: most of the developed world, we don't have that much 217 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 5: parasites to deal with. And so a simple way to 218 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,599 Speaker 5: think about it is this evolution, this part of the 219 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 5: immune system that was functioning so well to take care 220 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 5: of parasites now sort of has nothing to react to, 221 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,839 Speaker 5: and so it starts going down this pathway to find 222 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 5: something to do, if you will. And that's a simplistic 223 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,439 Speaker 5: way of looking at it. But now it starts reacting 224 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 5: to allergens, and so it once it gets on that path, 225 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 5: it it sort of thinks that it's protecting you against 226 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 5: this stuff when this stuff is not. 227 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 1: Really I don't understand the purpose of the mucus. How 228 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: is it it forming all this snot? How is that 229 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: ever going to help me? 230 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 5: Well, you know, when you have a lot of that 231 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 5: snot and it's draining out in that kind of thing, 232 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 5: it's it's you know, you're probably not when you're very congested, 233 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 5: you can't breathe. They won't get much fallen in there, 234 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 5: and so it's not even a good response, but it's 235 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 5: just the way the body is reacting to it. 236 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: Well, no, but that makes actual sense because that that 237 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 1: would reduce the amount of pollen that you would continue 238 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: to get. It never crossed my mind. So what we're doing, 239 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: noimes go ahead. 240 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 5: So sometimes when people say, oh, I had to find 241 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 5: a surgery and now they trim my terminans and open 242 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 5: me up and now I can get all this stuff, 243 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 5: and then I feel like it's you know, still making 244 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 5: me miserable. And that's where where it's all open now. 245 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 5: And you know, so it doesn't change the surgery's not 246 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 5: going to change your immune system. 247 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: So what is the answer. You've got to get your 248 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: immune system to stop reacting in this manner. 249 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 5: Correct, And so one of the things that you know 250 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 5: allergies do, or you know that that your wife did, right, 251 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 5: and and we're jumping the gun here, so we're saying, oh, 252 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 5: I'm not saying that everyone needs shots or something like that. 253 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 5: But if you look at that, what allergy shots and 254 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 5: they've been around for one hundred years, and what allergy 255 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 5: shots is is to try and teach the immune system, 256 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 5: if you will, to not react to what you're allergic to. 257 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 5: And so what we do is you make these, you know, 258 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 5: these extracts, which are basically has you know exactly what 259 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 5: you're allergic to, and you give it back to the patient. Now, 260 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 5: you couldn't possibly give them the full strength shot or 261 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 5: you'd kill them because they'd have a whole body allergic 262 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 5: reaction to the shot. And so what you do is 263 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 5: you deluded down one hundred thousand fold and you give 264 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 5: it back to the patient and in slow incremental doses. 265 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 5: And so in that way, you're slowly introducing the allergen 266 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 5: to the body. And what that does over a period 267 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 5: of time is it it starts generating these cells in 268 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 5: the body called T suppress our cells, and these T 269 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 5: suppress our cells suppress the immune response to whatever is 270 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 5: in the allergy, to whatever is in the shot. And 271 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 5: so that is why in patients who've done immunotherapy and 272 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 5: those kind of things, they don't react as strongly. So 273 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 5: when your body sees the pollen the next pollen season 274 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 5: and you've been on shots, it doesn't react as strongly 275 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 5: to the shot to the pollen. And and so you know, 276 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 5: medications treat symptoms, they don't do anything for the problem. 277 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 5: So the problem sort of festers along in the background. 278 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 5: And and and that's why, you know, when we talked 279 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 5: about me and you you know, I was like, hey, 280 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 5: you know during pollen season, and I do this too, 281 00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 5: if I go run around rice. I mean this is 282 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 5: you know, I try not to do the loop during 283 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 5: oak season, but if I do run around it, I 284 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 5: sometimes have, you know, mild symptoms. I immediately do a 285 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 5: sinus rints and clean out all that pollen so it's 286 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 5: not sitting in my airway in my nasal passage making 287 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 5: me horrible. And that way you just physically do better. 288 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 5: But what allergy shots is to try and tell the body, hey, 289 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 5: stop reacting to this, you know, And so it's trying 290 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 5: to put a hold on your body going down this 291 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 5: wrong pathway of reacting to something that's harmless. 292 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: Mary Telly Boden has become nationally famous for the fact 293 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: that she criticized the COVID protocols and all those But 294 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,959 Speaker 1: before she was famous, and just as that was beginning 295 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: to happen, I had her on the show to talk 296 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: about a sinus rents because I had seen her. She 297 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 1: had a handle like doctor snot sucker or something something 298 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: funny like that. And she posts videos of doing these 299 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 1: sinus rinses and she was a big fan of My 300 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: wife does it. I don't do it as often. I 301 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: know I should. I'm just irregular. My wife does it frequently. 302 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: But on that point, I know Mary Tally Boden is 303 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: a huge fan of that, and it sounds like you 304 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: are as well. 305 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 5: I am, And so you know there, So all of 306 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 5: the sinus rinses come from this. So in yoga one 307 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 5: hundred years ago, so in India they know there's a 308 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 5: thing called nati and actually the netty pop comes from nathi, 309 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 5: which is a term in yoga of where you rinse 310 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 5: out the nasal passages. And they knew a long time 311 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 5: ago that for whatever reason, if there was inflammation in 312 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 5: the nose, the chest would do bad. And so in 313 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 5: patients who have asthma, and this is you know, a 314 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 5: long time ago in India they rinsed the nose out 315 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 5: and no one knows he knew why. Over the lasteen 316 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 5: to twenty years, we started to find out that it's 317 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 5: considered the single airway hypothesis, and so if there's inflammation 318 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 5: in one part of the airway, that inflammation will irritate 319 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 5: the whole airway. And so the nose is connected, you know, 320 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 5: to the lungs and so a lot of people will 321 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 5: experience this when they have sometimes bad sinus infections and 322 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 5: upper estor infections, then they'll have wheezing in those kinds 323 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 5: of things. And that's where you know, physically cleaning out 324 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 5: all that mucus helps. And the other thing that you 325 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 5: know these rinses do is physically clean out the pond 326 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 5: or the dust might or whatever, so the antigen is 327 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 5: not just sitting in there, you know, keeping the immune 328 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 5: reaction going. 329 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 1: Hold with me for just moro.

So doctor Colosso, let's go back to. 352 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 4: You. Uh. 353 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: You first put my wife on Zyrtec, and we hear 354 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 1: a lot about zertech. Now it's over the counter, and 355 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: Zyrtec basically suppresses the body's desire to overreact to this 356 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: pollen we see out there all the time. Now, can 357 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: you talk through the history of that drug and how 358 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: that has affected your practice. 359 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 5: Zyrtec is an antihistamine, and so initially, you know, when 360 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 5: Zyrtec first came out, it was prescription and so you know, 361 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,719 Speaker 5: you couldn't get zyrtec unless you went to the doctor. 362 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 5: You went to the allergist, and so you know, there's 363 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 5: a couple of things that the or moving the medicine 364 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 5: over the counter has done to the practice of allergy 365 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 5: for us. And it's it's just interesting to see. And 366 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 5: so when you have a lot of histamine around and 367 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 5: you feel miserable and you drainage and congestion and you're 368 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 5: itching and all that kind of stuff, and you would 369 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 5: have to go to the doctor, and a lot of 370 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 5: times the alogists would say, hey, let's see what you're 371 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 5: allergic to, and they do testing and you know, find 372 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 5: one or two things that was positive and then sometimes 373 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 5: you know, either start you on treatment for that or 374 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 5: do avoidance measures of those kind of things. But as 375 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 5: these drugs have gone, you know, over the counter, initially 376 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 5: we were thought, oh, there's going to be no need 377 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 5: for allergists, but in fact, what we've seen is that 378 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 5: we now tend to pick up patients who are a 379 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 5: lot more serious. So if there was no zer tech 380 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 5: when you know, you first start having allergy, and let's 381 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 5: say you're just allergic to dust mites, I'll just use 382 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 5: that as an example, then you know, we would see 383 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 5: the patient and sometimes if they'd get on shots for 384 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 5: dusk mate, then they'd do a lot better. But now 385 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,719 Speaker 5: with Zyrtech being over the counter, so let's say you 386 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 5: have a mild dust smile allergy and then you start 387 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 5: having springtime seas and then you take zyrtech. Zyrtech blocks 388 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 5: hist meine, but it's not aligning, it's not doing anything 389 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 5: or not doing much because the allergy process of you know, 390 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 5: developing allergies to stuff is still going on. And so 391 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 5: what happens is then as long as that Zyrtec can 392 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 5: keep blocking the amount of his being released, you'll be okay. 393 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 5: And then you start doing a nose spray for allergy, 394 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 5: and that's over the counter and in the background you're 395 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 5: you're you know, developing, not in all cases, but in 396 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 5: a lot of cases, you're developing more allergy. And so 397 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 5: then what happens is the person. You know, it's almost rare, 398 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 5: almost never that I see a patient who's not tried 399 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 5: zyrtec before or tried nose sprays now or those kind 400 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 5: of things. And so while the zyrtech is helping you, 401 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 5: you know, do okay or control your symptoms, if the 402 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,719 Speaker 5: allergy is going on in the background, then you're developing 403 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 5: you know, more allergy. And so it's not atypical for 404 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 5: me to see a patient who has now multiple things 405 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 5: that they're allergic to. So, you know, as in Michael's case, 406 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 5: and since you know we're talking about this, it's it 407 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 5: can be multiple trees and grasses in those kinds of things. 408 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 5: And so in so what we tend to do we say, 409 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 5: you know, as allergies, see patients who are a lot 410 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 5: further along in the allergic process as opposed to you know, 411 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 5: when zerotech and those kind of drugs were prescription based, 412 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 5: because you would just end up seeing the patient earlier. 413 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: But what does that mean you know that farther along 414 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,360 Speaker 1: are your allergies getting worse through time. Is that it's 415 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 1: not just here's the. 416 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 5: Are that's exactly right and how are they getting and 417 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 5: so Okay, so that's a very good question. So and 418 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 5: it's a little bit technical, but in the body you 419 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 5: have these these chemicals floating around called inter lukens, and 420 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 5: inter lukens sometimes will play a key role. Is if 421 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 5: if you have if you're exposed to analogy and or 422 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 5: you know, let's say we'll just we'll just make up something. 423 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 5: Let's say you're allergic to oak pollen. And when you're 424 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 5: allergic to oak pollen or you have bad allergies, you 425 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 5: have these chemicals flowing around and then there's many different 426 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 5: numbers of chemicals, but you'll pick the ones important analogy, 427 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 5: and so you have high levels of aisle four, aisle five, 428 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 5: and asle thirteen. Now, when you get exposed to a 429 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 5: pollen in the presence of high if there's a lot 430 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 5: of aisle four, aisle five, aisle thirteen, you're more likely 431 00:25:55,680 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 5: to make an allergic antibody to it, and so they're 432 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 5: not you know, there's studies that have done that show this. 433 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 5: Let's say you take a person who's allergic to oak 434 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 5: and during oak season, you expose them to pecan pollen. 435 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 5: And in another chamber, you take someone who's not allergic 436 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 5: to oak, and you expose them to pecon pollen. And 437 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 5: then three months later you go back and you go 438 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 5: and check the blood and see who has an allergic 439 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 5: antibody to pecan. And interestingly, the person who was allergic 440 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 5: to oak is now allergic to oak and pecon, whereas 441 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 5: the one who wasn't allergic to oak isn't, you know, 442 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 5: necessarily allergic to con. And so allergy tends to beget allergy. 443 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 5: And so that's why that cycle just seems to you know, 444 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 5: once it starts, you tend to start going down that pathway. 445 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 5: And so that is why that is what I meant 446 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 5: is that when we you know, now see patients who've 447 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 5: been using over the kind of medicines they are already 448 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 5: then tend to be allergic to multiple different things, whereas 449 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 5: before those ween those medications of prescription, you would see 450 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 5: those patients a lot earlier on the disease process. 451 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting because living where we live, and having 452 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,719 Speaker 1: lived here my entire life, with only some brief periods 453 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: of living away, it's something that we grow accustomed to. 454 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 1: My mother had terrible, terrible allergies. My brother had pretty 455 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: bad allergies, and mine are not as bad as my 456 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: mother's were, but pretty bad. So it's almost something we 457 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: grow accustomed to. And so watching my wife's recovery or 458 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: healing or improvement, whatever you want to call it, I 459 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: almost didn't believe that there was anything that could be 460 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 1: done that could possibly make my life so much better. 461 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: But when I saw it with her, I said, my goodness, 462 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 1: that is especially with this, you know, three months of 463 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: just horrible and it was affecting my ability to do 464 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: the show. I said, Okay, I'm willing to spend the 465 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: actual time to go and get something done about this. 466 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: Hold with us for just a moment. Chris Colosso is 467 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: our guest. That is spelled the LAC. If you want 468 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: to go see him.
