1392. Autism, Colitis & PUFAs: The Connection

Dr. Martin looks at two studies on polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). One study out of Japan has shown how researchers are finding PUFAs in the umbilical cord. Another study on ulcerative colitis is showing that PUFAs increase risk by 30%.

Join Dr. Martin in today’s episode to learn why PUFAs really ought to be avoided!

 

TRANSCRIPT OF TODAY'S EPISODE

Announcer:  You're listening to The Doctor Is In Podcast, brought to you by MartinClinic.com. During the episode, the doctors share a lot of information. As awesome as the info may be, it is not intended to diagnose, cure, treat, or prevent any disease. It's strictly for informational purposes.

Dr. Martin:  Hi, Dr. Martin here. How are you? Nice to have you on with us here. Okay, now, two new studies on PUFAs. polyunsaturated fatty acids. We characterize them as vegetable oils, but they're not. They're seed oils, okay? Cotton seed and rape seed and canola, which is a rape seed oil and soybean, which is a very, probably the most popular oil that they use in cooking, especially in fast food restaurants and they're oils that were manmade, okay? Manmade oils, and they're good for your car, guys. I mean it. I think I brought to you probably three or four years ago that they actually ran an airplane on that oil, and we use it in our diets. It's a sad thing. I'm never optimistic about the world changing certain things because they're ingrained in our society. They're ingrained in our health psyche, even though it's the opposite of what is true.

And so it's hard to change because people have this idea. Again, I got to tell you, cholesterol is bad. So when cholesterol is bad, according to the world, they're looking for non cholesterol foods and oils, right? Cholesterol's bad for you. So you got to cook, not in butter, not in ghee. What do you got to cook in? And the nutritional police of the world, and there are many, they insist on these PUFAs, polyunsaturated fatty acids instead of saturated fat that is found in butter and that because saturated fat is bad. Now, let me give you a couple of studies, brand new hot off the presses that tell us that we are right and they are wrong. We meaning us at the Martin Health group and them, which is dieticians, the nutritional, even some nutritional gurus I can hardly get over this would choose these oils over butter or even over olive oil or coconut oil.

Okay, now listen to this, okay? This is a study done in Japan that links autism with these PUFAs, okay? And here's what they said. Okay? A Significant Finding, is the headline, of PUFAs polyunsaturated fatty acids like soybean canola. I always said canola is Canada's gift to the world to make us sick or sicker. And the Japanese study is finding PUFAs, polyunsaturated fatty acids in the umbilical cord of children later diagnosed with autism. Now, if you've been a friend to this program for any length of time, we talk about autism quite a bit. Let me just give you a little bit of headlines, stuff that you would hear on our podcast if you went through our podcast, and we have quite a few of them on autism, okay? So when you go in on a podcast, if you want to find out and get the titles of them, go in on your smartphone on our podcast, and then go to the episode reviews. If you do that, then all of them come up. I think we're at, I don't know, 1300 and something, and we have a lot of them on autism. But let me just give you a very short review, okay?

What have I said about autism? One, when I graduated in the 1970s, okay, I never heard of it. Not in my medical books at all. Okay? That's number one. The first time I ever heard of autism was, I think it was 1979 in Toronto and an actual colleague of mine told me that he had two autistic kids, two of them, two boys, and he had to explain it to me, and I didn't know that. So after that, I was keenly aware of autism, but we still didn't see much of it. And now it's one out of, I don't know, one out of 20 or less kids that are born today are born autistic. Something happened, okay? Maybe we're better at diagnosing it. But something has happened guys, and I think we would all agree with that. So the third point on autism, okay, just to put it in a review, is I mentioned this back in the eighties. Autistic children have leaky gut. I've never seen an exception to it. Leaky gut, leaky brain. Now, what would cause leaky gut the number one cause of leaky gut, the number one cause even today of leaky gut is antibiotics. Okay? Now, I know there's some connections between autism and vaccines. I'm not saying there isn't. All I'm saying is what the big cause is, is leaky gut. Leaky gut, toxins get in the bloodstream, they cross the blood brain barrier, and here you go. Okay?

Now, polyunsaturated fatty acids are found according to this Japanese study in the umbilical cord. Mummy is eating french fries that are cooked in these oils. Almost everything in the middle aisles of your grocery store are using these oils because they last forever. It makes food last forever in a package. And this is one of the reasons, by the way, I just got to say this, and by the way, is sometimes you've got to read your labels on keto foods, because a lot of times, even keto foods are using polyunsaturated fatty acids. I'm not a big fan of keto. People when they tell me, oh, I'm eating a keto like diet. Well, okay, what are you saying? You're eating low carb? Well, that's good, but you got to make sure you're not eating packaged goods that are keto foods. I don't like them at all. I just don't. Okay? So, PUFAs are now associated with autism.

I always say autism is sort of like a perfect storm, okay? It's a perfect storm of a combination of things, but at the end of the day, the number one thing is leaky gut. Baby develops leaky gut. Usually mummy has leaky gut. And one of the things too with autism, and I said this a long time ago, I actually wrote about it in a couple of my books, and I just went through what the world's statistics tell us about autistic children. And one of the factors, it's not always a factor, but it's one of the main factors and their association factors, is the overuse of c-sections. Okay? And again, I didn't say that medicine is saying, as a matter of fact, there's sort of an edic out to the obstetricians of the world. Hey, stop doing unnecessary c-sections. Now, they're not saying that because of autistic kids. They're saying that because look, you're creating problems by doing C-sections when they're not needed. It's convenient. Don't do that. Even medicine agrees with that. There are too many C-sections out there.

But I said years ago, I connected C-sections with autism and cognitive problems because the baby's not going down that birth canal. And when the baby doesn't go down that birth canal, they're not getting mommy's microbiome in their nostrils and into their mucus. They need that. They need mommy's bacteria. And when man in all of its genius tries to circumvent a natural childbirth, it's a problem. And look, sometimes you've got no choice. And that's modern medicine can save your life, save the baby's life. I'm not against it, okay? So don't come at me about that. All I'm saying is when it's not necessary, much better, that baby goes down the birth canal, okay? Just saying. Okay. Now that's study number one. A significant finding in Japan, of PUFAs fatty acids in the umbilical cord, and it's related to autism, the increase in autism. Okay?

Now, PUFAs, study number two, PUFAs and colitis. Now, a lot of my listeners know exactly what colitis is, okay? You get an inflammation, itis of the colon, no fun under the sun, especially if it becomes ulcerative colitis. And that is very, very serious condition, no fun at all. And where that gut becomes so inflamed, it's like you got a sunburn in your colon colitis. Listen to this study out of Europe again, linking polyunsaturated fatty acids with colitis, there is a 30% increase of ulcerative colitis with the use of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The so-called good oil. And a study in Europe is saying, yeah, thanks Canada for your gift of canola oil to the world. It hasn't helped our health at all. It's made things worse.

Now, I like this little addendum that is put in on this study because they said this too, in this study coming out of Europe, when you put polyunsaturated fatty acids and combine it in a diet with sugar and white flour, white flour, guys are just sugar molecules holding hands, going to be sugar rapidly, okay? There's people talking about gluten, okay? I'm not that big on that. Not that I dismiss it. I don't dismiss it totally. But I found one thing. Okay? Here's what I found in my practice over the years, when I could get a patient who had ulcerative colitis, if I could get a patient who had colitis and like a sunburn in their gut, no fun, and I put them on the reset, and they weren't eating any polyunsaturated fatty acids at all, and they weren't eating any sugar at all or flour at all for 30 days. None. No pasta, no noodles, okay? I used to tell my Italian friends, you can have meatballs, you can have sausage, and you can have spaghetti sauce, but you can't have the spaghetti.

And I know some folks have cauliflower noodles and whatever, but you can't even have that on the reset because I wanted to prove to patients that lived with colitis, if they would get off those bad oils, if they would get off all the sugar and stuff that turns to sugar rapidly, and even for 30 days, listen to this, if they would get off all fiber. What? Fiber because I used to tell all my patients, I used to tell 'em this. I don't think I ever went through discussing the reset without telling them this. I said, you ain't the rabbit. I know you love your vegetables. I know you do, but you're not a rabbit, okay? You're not meant to live on those. Well, Dr. Martin, what am I going to do without my fiber? If I don't get my fiber? I know I said, you've been programmed. You've been programmed. It didn't start with fruits and vegetables, guys. Fiber started with the cereal companies. It started with Dr. Kellogg's, Quaker Oats. If you don't get fiber, you're going to die.

And they even claimed, okay, you know what fiber does, Dr. Martin and I used to, I put my finger to my, I don't know. What does fiber do as if I didn't know? Well, Dr. Martin, do you know what fiber does? No. Tell me. I mean, other than it makes you go to the bathroom. Tell me what else. Well, you know what it does. It lowers your cholesterol, Dr. Martin. I said, oh, well, that's not a good thing. Why do you want to lower your cholesterol? You see, that was just propaganda. And the world went for it. And we were seeing all this colitis. And today you get colitis, you get ulcerative colitis, you get Crohn's, you get diverticulosis. These disorders are all on steroids. They're so prevalent today. And now we know what I've been saying for years. Well, number one, you changed the oil. You got the wrong oils in your body. You got manmade oil. I know Dr. Martin, but it's got no cholesterol in it. I know. That's why it's bad. That's why it's bad oil. Guys, I've been consistent about that. God gave us butter, not canola, okay? God gave us butter, and God gave us olive oil, this beautiful oil. I like olive oil. I do. Butter's better because it's more saturated. It's saturated fat, and it's got vitamin K2 in it.

So guys, we read these studies and PUFAs, these stinking oils, the hateful eight, you can get the list are associated with autism. And like I said, it's not the only thing, but autism, because I've talked to you about the perfect storm of autism and they're linked to colitis. It's amazing when you change your fuel. It's amazing when you change your oil. But guys, these are important points, aren't they? Okay? And so don't believe the lies out there and they become part of mainstream. And I get that. And we're going against the grain. I get that too. I understand we're in the minority, but that doesn't make us wrong. Look at how unhealthy people are today. And I'll bring you another study that came out on metabolic syndrome, brand new hot off the presses. Incredible. Okay? Incredible.

Okay, Friday is question and answer Friday. Some people have sent in their questions already, and that's appreciated. Okay? We try and answer all your questions, and some people are putting them up on the private Facebook group and they're asking questions. And sometimes I go in there and answer them already before Friday, okay? So we try and keep up, but we want you to ask questions by the way. How do you get information? Better ask questions. Okay? My generation and my parents' generation even more, they never questioned their doctors. They were told doctor knows everything and don't question that. Okay? Especially my parents. That generation we're big part of that. You don't question doctors. They know. They know. I lived in a household that did nothing but question doctors. Okay? Question. If it don't make sense, maybe it's not true.

I never believed the cholesterol lie, by the way. Okay? I don't believe in it. You can't make me, you take cholesterol, for example, and you have to say, well, I guess your body doesn't need it. Your body can't live with a cholesterol, so why is it bad? Anywho don't want to get started. Okay guys, we love you. If you're not part of the private Facebook group, join that group. Join that private Facebook group. And if you're not listening to the Doctor Is In podcast, why not? Okay? And you can tell your friends about that, that they can download the podcast on their smart device. Okay, guys, we love you dearly. We'll talk to you soon.
