Dr. Martin: Well, good morning everyone, and once again, welcome to another live this morning. Hope you're having a great start to your day. We sure appreciate you guys coming on as you do, and those who can watch us live. Much, much appreciate it. Okay, we're going to talk a little bit about autoimmune this morning, but a couple of things I want to bring to you, okay? One of them is here. It's in the Journal of Biochemistry, by the way, you like the hat, don't feed the bears. Okay? Journal of Biochemistry, researchers linked low glutathione to a much higher level of autoimmune diseases such as Crohn's, lupus, ms psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, to name a few Journal of biochemistry, researchers link low glutathione to autoimmune diseases. Now, let's do a little teaching for you folks that follow me. You know what glutathione is, but we always got new viewers, so here we go.
Rinse and repeat. Okay, so what is glutathione? Okay, well, glutathione is something that your body makes. Okay? What part of your body makes glutathione? Your liver? What does glutathione do? One of the most important things it does glutathione is like Velcro. What does it do? Well, it attaches itself to toxins. Very, very important to take toxins out of your bloodstream. Okay, so glutathione. How does your body make glutathione? Well, it takes three amino acids to make glutathione, okay? One is cystine, the other is glycine, and the third one is glutamine. Okay? Those are amino acids. Those three makeup, glutathione made in your liver acts like, okay, you got that? Okay, so it's very important your body makes it, and the more, by the way, okay, when you look at lysine and glutamine and cysteine, how do you get that in food, eggs, meat, and cheese.
That's how you get 'em, okay? That's how you get those three. Very important, okay? Those foods provide the amino acids to make glutathione. Glutathione is Velcro and it helps to detoxify, okay? You and I, if your address ends with planet Earth, you and I live in a toxic soup. I talk about it all the time. It's just the way it is. We live in an environment that is toxic, right? From microplastics to synthetic chemicals, xenoestrogens and heavy metals. Guys, I used to test for heavy metals in my office. We used to do a urine test, lead, mercury, cadmium, aluminum, man. Oh man, we used to see a lot of heavy metals in our practice, okay? Lots of heavy metals, so those are toxins. And the problem with glutathione, here's the problem. One, as we get older, we don't make as much. Two, most people are not eating near enough of those proteins, those building blocks, amino acid.
They're just not eating enough of it, okay? You need those amino acids to make glutathione, okay? And the third big, it's the biggest problem of all of them is that most people are walking around with a fatty liver, and when you have a fatty liver, it's all gummed up. You're not making enough glutathione. Now, none of this was mentioned in the article that I just read to you from the Journal of Biochemistry. All they said was, low levels of glutathione seem to be linked to the prevalence of autoimmune, and they mentioned Crohn's, lupus, MS and rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis. I could go on and on. Sjogren's autoimmune is a major, major problem today. Look, it's been around for a long time, but the numbers today are skyrocketing for the reasons I told you. Environmental, right? Environmental heavy metals, okay? That's one aspect. The other aspect is leaky gut microbiome changes.
Let me read you another study. It goes along with this, okay? Rheumatoid arthritis and leaky gut, I flagged this last week. I'm just going to read some of the article. Inflammatory markers appear before the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis with rheumatoid arthritis. They found that there's a lot of what they call dysbiosis. What is that? More bad guys than good guys in terms of bacteria. The microbiome changes. Let me quote, people with rheumatoid arthritis have a different microbiome than normal people with not enough friendly bacteria. That's dysbiosis. And one of the biggest culprits, okay? One of the biggest culprits, and I've said this for a long time, when you look at autoimmune in the microbiome, one of the biggest culprits is antibiotics. Okay? That can save your life. The problem is they wipe out your good bacteria, create a dysbiosis, and down the road, you're much more susceptible down the road, you're much more susceptible to autoimmune.
And this one here was focusing in on rheumatoid arthritis. So you got leaky gut, you got low levels of glutathione, big factors in autoimmune, big factors in autoimmune. And then I bring in a third thing, okay? So you got leaky gut, you got fatty liver, and this is connected to insulin resistance. What happens in the liver doesn't stay in the liver. Unfortunately, a lot of things happen in the liver. You got about 600 functions that the liver does. But when you think of your liver, which probably you don't, well, my audience does, but most people don't think of your liver unless you get cirrhosis of it or cancer of it. And by the way, that is up big time in our society today. Liver cancer through the roof, pancreatic cancer through the roof, and liver cancer, I'm telling you, much, much related to fatty liver.
How do you get fatty liver? Carbos, carbo, you can't get fatty liver unless you're a carbo holic, especially fructose. High fructose corn syrup has been a disaster for people's livers, okay? And in the liver, you make glutathione, but not if your liver is gummed up, you won't make enough of it. You won't have enough Velcro to latch itself on to synthetic chemicals, to plastics, to heavy metals like mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminum. Guys, we're not leaving the planet since we're not taking the shuttle with Elon Musk, okay? What are we going to do? Well, I want you to elevate your glutathione. Let's talk about that. How can we do that? Let's elevate our Velcro inside our body. Okay? How do we do that? Nuero Uno. Empty the liver. Guys, when I talk about the reset, when I talk about the metabolic reset, I know a lot of people, they go on the reset.
They do it because they want to lose weight. They do it because of insulin resistance. And man, oh man, those are good ideas. They have no idea how good it is for your liver in two ways. It empties your liver. Six days, it can empty your liver, okay? It doesn't take long. You can empty your liver. What? Yeah, empty your liver. You're not eating any carbs, you're not taking any high fructose corn syrup. You're avoiding it. You're doing the reset. One of the things that happens is in the liver, it empties itself. If you empty it, your glutathione goes up. The Velcro, you make more of it just by emptying your liver. Isn't that a wonderful thing? Don't you think we ought to do that at least a couple of times a year? Take for you guys that have done the reset, I know many, many, many thousands, I'm going to make a suggestion that we're up to probably 50 to 75,000 people have done the reset and maybe more than that, okay?
And when you do the reset, you understand a few things in 30 days, okay? You understand a few things. One thing you understand, man, I didn't realize what carbs do to me, what those crappy carbs do to me. Ever since I changed fuels, man, am I ever feeling better? You understand that a lot of stuff that you don't understand in a way is because you can't see inside. If we could only look under the hood of your body when you're doing the reset, okay, I'd bring you to your liver. Take the top off the liver and look inside. Holy moly, you cleaned it up. What a job. You emptied it. You took out the waste in incredible. But you see, when you produce more glutathione, I've been talking about glutathione for 40 years, people go, what is that? When I had my radio show, what are you talking about?
Well, I said, I don't care if you remember the name, glutathione. Just remember Velcro. Your body has Velcro. You want to increase it. How do you do that? The number one thing to do is the reset. And like I said, for the people that have done the reset already, you've done it. What's a good thing? Do it for a week. Again, if you do it even for a week, you are emptying your liver. Do you mean dock by eating eggs and meat and cheese? You're emptying your liver. Yep. Yep, yep, yep, yep. Because you're not filling it with glycogen, okay? You're emptying your liver on the reset. That's the best thing you can do. Your body will make glutathione eat more eggs, meat and cheese to make more glutathione. Remember the amino acids? So you get a double whammo. You're emptying your liver when you lay off the sugars.
High fructose corn syrup, especially, because that's the sugar jewel. Do you know what I mean by that? It's the sugar in everything is high fructose corn syrup, and they can couch it, they can name it else, okay? Empty your liver, eat more eggs, meat and cheese, and you're going to make more glutathione because of those three amino acids that you're making to make glutathione. They come in the animal kingdom. Do you know what a supplement? I like two of them, at least two. One for glutathione specifically. Do you know that pine bark extract elevates your glutathione? It does. Natal. I who knew? I knew 40 years ago. I knew Navitar was a great antioxidant. And one thing I found out early, early, early across the blood-brain barrier, that's why it was so successful in the early days of chronic fatigue syndrome. That was one of the greatest discoveries I ever made, okay, with patients, was it crossing the blood brain barrier? I didn't even know it elevated your glutathione, but it does. You know what else does bone broth? Don't you love bone broth? Is there anything negative about bone broth? But it elevates your gluten ion because it's full of glutamine. We know that. I love bone broth for your gut. Why? Because it regenerates. Because there's so much L glutamine in bone broth and glycine in bone broth. Okay? And Cys taine in bone broth. So what do you do? You want more Velcro? You want more glutathione? What do you do? Empty your liver. Empty it.
Keep it squeaky clean. Okay? Empty it. Big, big, big, big problem today. Even kids walking around with fatty liver, they have no idea, man. Oh man. I'll tell you the food industry, I know there must be some good people working in there, but man, oh man. And we don't even look at it really. And maybe, maybe now, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Might go after them. I hope he does. I really do. They've been lying through their teeth to us and our kids and my grandchildren, and even now, my great-grandchildren, they're lying through their teeth. They fill the middle aisles of the grocery stores with all these, not only bad oils, seed oils, but sugar, high fructose corn syrup. These sodas, they own the world, Pepsi and Coke. Ooh, drives me crazy. Okay? So boost your glutathione, guys, boost it.
Don't forget it's really important to your health. I'll tell you, if you focus in on that, and glutathione by the way, that Velcro that takes the toxins out of your body is really, really important for anti-aging too, okay? It really is because it really helps to detoxify the body. And when the body is detoxified, you're not going to age nearly as quickly. Look, you're going to age, okay? Good luck with thinking you're not. But if you can slow the process down and your liver is built for that, your liver's on your side, and we don't think of the liver because medicine, unless you have cirrhosis of it, they don't care. And unless your liver enzymes are showing very, very high, nothing happens. But I want you guys to take control of your own bodies. You guys do it, and we know what we can do. We can elevate that glutathione and just autoimmune microbiome. You know what to do. Don't feed the bears. Don't feed yeast and fungus.
I've said this to you before when you talk about MS and Parkinson's, why is it so prevalent today? One of the reasons is heavy metals in the brain and they don't get there on their own. They bypass that liver. The liver's too gummed up, and then those heavy metals get carried to the brain by fungus yeast. That's why we see so much ELS today and Parkinson's and ms. They're very much connected. Okay, guys, we love you, okay? You got questions for me? Send your questions in to info@martinclinic.com, okay? Send them there, guys like you can put them up here, but you know what? Unless our staff picks that up, I ain't going to be talking about it on Fridays and sometimes Mondays, we often do that. Friday and Monday. I want to answer your questions. I wish we had a format that you could call in here live to me. I used to do it on radio. Maybe we'll figure that out someday. You can call in. Okay guys, we love you dearly, and we'll talk to you soon.
