1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: iHeart Radio. Oh, I'm so sorry. I hate to start 3 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: an interview like that, but I don't know why I did. 4 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: That's it's doctor Forrest Tenant, and I'm sorry about that. 5 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: The strange medical Saga of John F. Kennedy. And I 6 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: have no explanation why I said, William, So I won't 7 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: even pretend to know why that came out of my mouth. 8 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,479 Speaker 1: I've been reading the book, loved the book, almost finished 9 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: the book, and so I'm so grateful that you came 10 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: on Coast to Coast to talk about the Strange medical 11 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: Saga of John F. Kennedy. Hello, Hi, how are you 12 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 1: pretty good? Quite well? Okay, great ahead. I heard your 13 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: introductions and it was quite good and quite quite accur 14 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what I could add, joy, Well, I 15 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: know what you're going to add to it, because I 16 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: got a million questions. I dog eared this book more 17 00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: than I dog ear most and the the part I mean, 18 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 1: so we know, and I'll go over your I mean, 19 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: you certainly have plenty of bona fides, and you are 20 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: an established authority on pain, and so it's interesting that 21 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: even so much of what we don't know about John F. 22 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: Kennedy was the real timeline of his pain that it 23 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: starts really almost you know, this was news to me. So, 24 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I've read bios and they didn't 25 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: go into they didn't drill down this deep. But born 26 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: in nineteen seventeen, and almost from the very beginning, the 27 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,199 Speaker 1: point you make is that John F. Kennedy was born 28 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: into a life of physical pain. Yes, yes, he exactly 29 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: why he ever survived infancy and childhood is a miracle. 30 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: I mean, Cash was nine lives had nothing on John F. Kennedy, 31 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: No one really one are those things as you study 32 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: his case, how and why he managed to live, it's 33 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: just some sort of a miracle. And I came to 34 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: believe that his charm, his personality is vigor to live 35 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: and to provide really excellent leadership, probably came from his 36 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: experiences and just overcoming death one time after another. Well, 37 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: you know, and I'm going to amplify something a point 38 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: that you imply and sort of you kind of connect him, 39 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna I'm going to sharpen it even further 40 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: and say, had he not been born into a family 41 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: of wealth, he would have died in infancy. He would 42 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: have died before he was two years old, probably, but 43 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: the family had so much money and were able to 44 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: provide the best care, the best doctors that he would 45 00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: he he didn't have to die. He's lived proof of that. 46 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: But it's it is a kind of medical miracle that 47 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: he didn't well, it really is. And you know, I've 48 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: written about two other men who have written the medical 49 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: song of Howard Us and all this presently. And you know, 50 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: if they had not had access to well, let's be 51 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: honest about it, to find the very best doctors and 52 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: hire the very best doctors who were willing to innovate, 53 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: none of those people would have lived very long. And 54 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: John F. Kennedy, there's no two ways about it. They 55 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: had enough money to find the very best doctors there 56 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: at Harvard and around the country at which they did. 57 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: And you know, there's no question in my mind that 58 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: if he had been born into a normal family of 59 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: normal financial means, I don't think he would have made it, No, 60 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: because he wouldn't be able to You're right from the start, 61 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: like he to survive scarlet fever in those days and 62 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: all his infection in childhood required, I mean you know, 63 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: he spent half his time with doctors. I'm not talking 64 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: about nurses, but the very best doctor. So that had 65 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: a factor in helping him survive. And there's a difference, 66 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: and you know, please explain, but there's a difference between 67 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: hospitals and clinics very often, and clinics is where I mean, 68 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: that's the expensive care, that's the one on one care 69 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: that you allude to, and that's what he got from 70 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: a very early age as opposed to he's a sickly kid. 71 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: He went to the hospital, yes, uh. And he also 72 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: his doctors made house calls also, right, and so he 73 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,239 Speaker 1: had access to a patient clinic as well as going 74 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: into the hospital at any time. Uh. You know that 75 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: his number of hospitalizations are not even countable, right, They 76 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: go up into the dozens. And I try quantitates a 77 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: number of hospital invasions, but I couldn't quite do that 78 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: because sometimes he'd go into the hospital for a day. 79 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: Another thing in those years which has totally gone today 80 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: in medicine, doctors would admit people to a hospital just 81 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: to do diagnostic workups. When I was a very young 82 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: daughter just graduated, that was common. I remember personally putting 83 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: people in the hospital just to do glucose tolerance tests 84 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: or X rays, and so that was common in those days. 85 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: Today it's far too expensive to do that, and of 86 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: course our technology is so much better that you don't 87 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: need to go into the hospital. But again, he had 88 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: excellent care by his physicians and also a very mother 89 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: who was obviously quite quite a great nurse, right, and 90 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: a course of nature. I mean, she was gonna she 91 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: was doing everything that she could. Again we're talking about 92 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: and it is the perfect description the strange medical saga 93 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 1: of John F. Kennedy. And thank you for as tenant 94 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: again for being on it. We'll get to question for 95 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: you later on, but let me let let's do this. 96 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,799 Speaker 1: If you could list the things that John F. Kennedy 97 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: as a baby Jack suffered between birth and two, because 98 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: that's how I really like how you broke up the 99 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: book in terms of infancy, childhood, teenage years, young adult, 100 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: all that. So what can you name all of the 101 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:43,559 Speaker 1: of his afflictions during his during his infancy, right, That's 102 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: that's quite easy to do because they were all infections. 103 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: I think I have a chapter there I decided to Yeah, 104 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: no no infection left behind. Right, He had all the 105 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: usual childhood illnesses measles, bumps, but he also had whooping coughs, 106 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: which in those years often took your life. And also 107 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: he developed scarlet fever. That was the one that his 108 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: survival was unusual because scarlet fever was there was a 109 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: steptocaucus bacteria and it's hardly known today, but it caused 110 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: both rheumatic fever or scarlet fever and rheumatic heart disease, 111 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: and it also caused later kidney failure any one of those. 112 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: And he managed to survive the scarlet fever. And what's 113 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: amazing about it is it see there were no antibiotics 114 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: in those days, so exactly what the doctors did is 115 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: a mystery. If one starts to study medical practice prior 116 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: to World War Two, you know, it's almost hard to 117 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: find out. What in the world the doctors did do 118 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: was recorded. Surprisingly, but whatever they did do, he did 119 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: make scarlet fever. He was near death and that was 120 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: the big one during his infancy. How he managed to 121 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: survive scarlet fever, and that you know, thousands and thousands 122 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: of babies dyed scarlet fever or rheumatic fever in those days. 123 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: And there's a little sidebar on the whole concept of autoimmunity, 124 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: meaning you developed a disease later on and the day 125 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: you hear about that with COVID all the time was 126 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: really initially discovered following scarlet fever and rheumatic fever. You 127 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: got a sore throat, you had a step to caucus infection, 128 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: and then later on the step of coco infection turned 129 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: into developed antibodies or autoimmune toxic substances in the body 130 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: that caused the kidney disease and heart disease and death. 131 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: So he managed to survive that. He was never given 132 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: the last rice for it or anything. He got that later. 133 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: But we could summarize his whole problem and infantry in 134 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 1: childhood as he was born without the normal resistance of 135 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: the body to infections. And also I think it starts 136 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: in infancy, right I have to go back and look 137 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: at my notes, but where right away there was a 138 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: nourishment problem. Yes, this is the other thing that the 139 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: fractory until I really got into studying his records and everything, 140 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: and it was one of the things that the family 141 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: didn't like to talk about it. John F. Kennedy didn't 142 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: like to talk about it. But he was born with 143 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 1: this autoimmune prout. And now let me define autoimmenity real 144 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: simple for the audience, because people hear that tournament, they're 145 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: not certain of what I mean autoimmunity. Immunity means you're 146 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: resistant to something. You're resistant or organisms, bacteria, toxins, poisons. 147 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 1: So you would think that autoimmunity means it's automatic immunity, right, 148 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that at all. What it means is 149 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 1: that you've got a destructive element in the body that 150 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: is slowly attacking and eating away any rootage in collagen 151 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: in tissues. Now, that destructive substance can be a toxin, 152 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: a enzyme, an infectious agents, a poison, or it can 153 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: be an antibody. And so John F. Kennedy from birth 154 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: had some toxic element in his body. We think it 155 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: was an antibody, but nobody knows that he had a 156 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: toxic element in his body from birth that started eating 157 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 1: away some of his tissues. And the one that caused 158 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: him the most problem during his lifetime was an attack 159 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: on his intestine. And he started in childhood developing all 160 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: kinds of bowel and intestinal problems that he'd have alternating 161 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: constipation one day, then diarrhea and floating pain, indigestion, and 162 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: he actually carried his intestinal problems until until death. In 163 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: other words, from from day from year one to year 164 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: forty six he had the intestinal problems. Now to day 165 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: we would probably call that celiac disease. It was not 166 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: that name was not applied at that time. His doctors 167 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: call to do it unitus or just colitis. But that 168 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: began in his child and during childhood, so he had 169 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: to fight the battle of the bathroom literally his entire 170 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: life and the and then it also irritable bowel syndrome, 171 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: so people with that overlap with that, so those those 172 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: very sempstoms would be part of it. In other words, 173 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: it would be called a mega irritable bowel. How about that? Yeah, no, no, yeah, 174 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: it's fair. Again, we're talking about the strange medical saga 175 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: of John F. Kennedy and we're not even out of 176 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: his infancy yet with the doctor Forrest Tenants. So here's 177 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: how I understand autoimmune. This is how it's always been 178 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: explained to me. Is um that auto meaning self and 179 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: immune in this case meaning you're not even immune to yourself, 180 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: and that you're attacking what you're thinking about it. That's 181 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: an excellent description, right, and so we are. That's how 182 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: people who are autoimmune their their first line of defense 183 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: is actually the first line of offense to their body. 184 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: You got it, Okay, So that's that in itself. Again, 185 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: were it not for the financial resources for the experimental treatments, 186 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: that in itself could have killed John F. Kennedy as 187 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: a baby. But he survives past the two year mark 188 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: of infancy into childhood and at some point then we 189 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: get into this whole adrenal gland thing. Can you explain 190 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: that that when going into the next phase of his 191 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: health problems? Yes, we mentioned autoimmunity. And incidentally, what are 192 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: the reasons for I wrote this book is that from 193 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: what I can tell, this whole concept of autoimmunity may 194 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: be the plague of all of humans in this century. 195 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 1: I can't think of anything. It's a bigger public health 196 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: or issue. And COVID is only making people realize as 197 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: they're calling it long COVID and trying to apply other names, 198 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: and what it really is his post viral autoimmunity, meaning 199 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: that you've got destructive elements in your body eating away 200 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: at some of your tissues, and so his the interocnologists 201 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: years after Kennedy's birth described a condition in which autoimmunity 202 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: or destructive elements from birth started destroying glands, and Kennedy's 203 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: the big target of his autoimmune gland over disease was 204 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: his adrenal glands, but he also had his thyroid attacked 205 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: and his testicles attacked in later life. And so people 206 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: who have this rare condition will have their pancreas attack 207 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: that gives you the diabetes. Thyroid will be attacked, your 208 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: testicles or ovary can be attacked, and certainly the addre 209 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: glands can be attacked. What it looks like historically is 210 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: that his adrenal glands probably were attacked and would detrior rates, 211 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: and then it probably regrow and then detriorate. And so 212 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: it was kind of an up and down thing over 213 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: a period of years until he was finally diagnosed with 214 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: Addison's disease when he was right after World War Two, 215 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: when he was right about thirty years of age. So 216 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: between birth and age thirty, his adrenal glands slowly started 217 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: to fail. Okay, explain the role of adrenal glands in 218 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: the humanoity. Adrenal glands. First off, they were adrenal glands. 219 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: You have two of them. They're so valuable through the 220 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: body that the Good Lord gives us two and the 221 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: one sitting on top of the kidney. And they used 222 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: to be called superrenal glands, meaning on top of the kidney, 223 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: but just for short they call them adrenal glands. And 224 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: in eighteen fifty five a pathologist in Britain with the 225 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: name of Thomas Addison discovered that some people had their 226 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: adrenal glands that were eaten away and they died.
