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: Well, good morning everyone. Once again, welcome to another live this morning. Hope you're having a great start to your day. We appreciate you guys coming on live and q and a Monday. Here we go. Someone was asking about teeth implants and he or she having an infection. Okay, so what am I suggesting? Well, anything in the gums, that's usually where the problem will be. You get a bacteria, whatever I'm big on oil of oreg, swish oil of oregano. Are you doing that? You're doing it good. Well keep it up. Probiotic. You can do a little bit of probiotic, even open up a capsule and do a little bit of swish even with the oil of oregano and just get that bacteria in there. Friendly bacteria on your side. But if you're doing the oil of oregano and probiotics, you are doing the right thing. Okay?
So gum infection, okay, CLO, can you set me straight on vaccines? What do you want to know? What is injected in the body? Okay, well, generally a vaccine, they take a little bit of, let's give you an example. The vaccine on whooping cough, okay? It's called borella Peruses. Now say that fast three times. They put a little bit of borello peruses in the vaccine, and the idea is when you inject the vaccine, your body takes note, your immune system takes note of the bacteria, develop some antibodies to that bacteria or virus, and it is supposed to help with your immunity of it, okay? I don't want to get into the whole vaccine discussion. All I say is when I was a kid, when I was a kid, I think there was two vaccines though, and today, I dunno, there's something like 70 something vaccines. Are they related to autism?
I go a step further than that. I say that autism, and I've said this for many, many, many years, is leaky gut. These kids are just canaries in the cold mine. But today, there's a real pushback on vaccines because of what happened through COVID. And you guys know me, okay? I'm a proponent of you as an individual building your immune system, okay? Whether you take a vaccine or not, I want you to take care of your body, take care of your immune system. This is why I'm so big on vitamin D. I'm so big on probiotics. I'm so big on eating vitamin A, the invisible mask state.
That's why I'm big on it. I focus in on you and your immune system. Vaccines are out there, okay? I have an opinion on them, but my focus is you. Okay? My focus is you and your immune system, and I was very consistent during the virus and COVID. If we had only used vitamin D, just vitamin D, if we had just done that, but the powers to be, they didn't want that. And I was very upset about that because the answer generally was right in front of us, but there's no money in the sun and there's no money in vitamin D. Like I said, if we had just used that, what a difference that would've made, and I preached that from day one, did I not? Okay, so there you go. I don't know if that sets you straight or not, Claude, but that's how long did it stay in the body? Well, depending the vaccine, it depends what type, okay, this is a question I'm getting asked more often now. Lucy's asking about what does Dr. Martin think of Ivermectin for cancer, specifically breast cancer? Listen, if someone tells you that Ivermectin will cure all cancers and that we had it right under our nose for all these years, run forest run, okay? I've heard about Ivermectin many, many years ago, way before COVID.
It's an anti-parasitic and what's out on the internet these days in social media is ivermectin is the greatest thing. And I like to use the expression, I grew up on expressions. I don't know if it was just my generation, but in our home, my mom would say, oh, that's the greatest thing since sliced bread. That was an expression. Some people are offended that I use that expression. The greatest thing stinks in sliced bread. Hey, it's a saying, don't get all uptight. Okay? Now, if Ivermectin was the cure for all cancers, I would be telling you, Lucy, go for it. I might tell you to go for it anyway, ivermectin, it's an anti parasitic, and the theory behind this is that there are some out there who believe that all cancers are parasites. I don't particularly buy that.
I listen. I look at everything I can look at in terms of research, and I have a lot of respect for people who put out different things, but I just got to tell you, Lucy, I'm not buying it in this sense. Okay? If I was you, and I don't know about you, but if you have breast cancer, would I try Ivermectin? Yeah, I would. Okay. And Lucy under some supervision because you just can't get ivermectin without a prescription as far as I know, right? Unless there's an underground source of it when I try it, for sure. If I was told I had cancer, I got no issue with it, but I've read a lot on it and even on cancer and there's a lot of smoke with it, meaning I'm not convinced. I'm just not convinced. That doesn't mean I wouldn't try it. I used to tell my patients this, if I thought hanging you upside down from this building would help you, I go to the roof and hold your feet and hang you upside down.
I'm not against stuff I'm not, so I don't have all the answers and my friend neither does anyone else. God's got all the answers, but not us. And I'm open. Someone says that all cancers are parasites. I'll tell you, I think most cancers have a fungal basis. I certainly wouldn't be against anyone taking an antifungal for sure. But again, I've seen this even on our site a few times. Well, we already have the cure for cancer. We're just hiding it. No, we don't. And I'll tell you one thing, okay? This is just my opinion based on all the research I've done and all the writing I've done and all the podcasts I've done and all the broadcasts I've done on cancer, and I've done a lot of it over the years, okay? I'll put vitamin D up against anything when it comes to your immune system and cancer, there's a lot of things, but I just think the number one thing is therapeutic doses of vitamin D.
That's me, but I'm not against Ivermectin. I'm not at all just understand where I'm coming from, okay? I'm not convinced. And maybe somebody will convince me, would I try it? Yeah, I try it. There you go. I hope that answers your question, Lucy, and we appreciate you, and if you do have cancer, we're praying for you. We're praying for you. Oh, Dale was asking, have you seen any studies or any comments on Ivermectin and f benol? How do you say that? Fast, which is an antifungal two, A combination capsule popping up everywhere, a cure for cancer. Well, I didn't even see that, Dale, but I think I answered your question. Okay. Thank you for sending that in, by the way. Yeah, it's all over the place now. You can hardly go on the internet that you're not going to read about Ivermectin and that, and I think I've answered. Sharon, what would you be taking for COPD? I spent my day coughing and feeling very unwell. Well, COPD is no fun under the sun.
Here's what I found over the years with COPD. Here's what I found, okay? Because when you came into my office, what was I looking for? Well, I do a whole metabolic profile. One, two, I'd look for deficiencies. Okay? Vitamins and minerals. I look for all that. Okay, so that's sort of functional medicine, and let me just tell you what I saw generally in COPD, okay? People that suffered COPD one, leaky gut, almost always two low levels of vitamin D, three, low levels of B12, and almost like those two go together all the time. Low levels of vitamin A, their immune system wasn't very strong, so I'm a big guy on those. Okay? Those things. And I like Carin for the lungs, I'm big on vitamin D. Find out what Sharon, your vitamin D levels are. Find out what your B12 levels are. I'd be on a probiotic, leaky gut, leaky lungs, okay?
I'd be on high D, HA, and by the way, okay, back to Lucy. Lucy, high, DHA. I put up against ivermectin because I've seen the research on high DHA and busting tumors. Okay, just getting back to that. Thank you, Sharon. We appreciate it. Okay, Francine, what does Dr. Martin think of soya milk gives me a migraine. Francine, I'm glad you asked. I don't like soya milk. Okay, first of all, why do you need to drink milk, okay, of any kind. Now, what is my expression? You have a cow in the backyard, you can drink milk. But guys, why do you got to drink milk? Why do you have to drink any plant-based milk in the first place? And Francine is saying, my naturepath recommended I drink one cup of soy milk daily to increase estrogen. Naturally, I'm getting a migraine five on a Richter scale. Like, oh, because here's Dr. Martin, one of the biggest problems in breast cancer, one of the biggest problems in prostate cancer, one of the biggest problems in ovarian and uterine cancers through the roof is estrogen.
I get it. Why? Oh, you're in menopausal years or whatever, premenopausal or whatever, perimenopausal, whatever. And your estrogen is going down and simplistically thinking, simple thinking would say, well, you know what? Let's elevate your estrogen. No, you got estrogen coming out your ears. Why do you want more of it? Everybody's got too much estrogen. We live in an estrogen dominated world. Every chemical just about mimics estrogen. They're called xenoestrogens. You're surrounded by it. Why would you want to drink soy milk to elevate your estrogen? What you really want to do is elevate your progesterone. Okay? That's the key. I've been preaching that for 30, 40 years. Elevate the progesterone. We got enough estrogen. Men have more estrogen than their wives and women. You don't want to touch estrogen with a hundred foot pole, in my opinion. Okay? Don't touch it. You don't need it. You need to elevate progesterone.
I spent my years in practice lowering estrogen, dimming it out, okay? Dimming it out and am convinced that I'm right about that. Okay? So when you're naturopath, God bless them, okay? God bless them. They're wrong. Don't touch it. You ask me. I'm very opinionated on that. I think you know that. Very opinionated, and I say this in all due respect. I know why doctors want to elevate your estrogen because they're taught in medical school, naturopaths are taught in naturopathy that, oh, your estrogen's going down. Let's give you estrogen. Your estrogen is going down maybe in your blood work or not, but you're surrounded by estrogen. And I'm telling you, it's one of the reasons that we see so much breast cancer. Why is breast cancer, why haven't we won the war on breast cancer? Why? We're not even close. It's worse than ever. In the 1970s, one out of 20 women in North America got breast cancer. It's one out of six today.
All the money we're spending on breast cancer, on any cancer, estrogen drives cancer. It's a growth hormone. It makes a woman, a woman, and a man, a woman too. Why do we want to drive that up? You want to drive it down? Okay. Yeah. Someone saying, Maryanne saying, yeah, I actually can see it most times. I don't read the scroll at all. Yeah. Flaxseed. Why do you think I liked flaxseed all my years, guys, true or false? Dr. Martin, does he like flaxseeds? The answer is yes, he does. Why? Because of lings and Lings decrease estrogen. It's the only seed. I tell you because you're not a chipmunk nor swir, and I don't want you living on seeds, but I like flax seeds and I've been consistent because in nature, it's the one that blocks estrogen the most.
Okay? Put it in Dr. Martin's perfect smoothie, and you'll never, ever, ever see me recommending any kind of plant-based milk. Okay? Soy oat, I see it in the grocery store. Oat milk. Now coconut. Real coconut. I can live with that. Okay? I can live with that Anyw who? Okay, thanks for the question that gave me a chance to work out this morning. Okay, Sarah, my neighbor struggles with knee joint pain and stiffness and has kidney disease. I have no specific knowledge of this disease. Would Omega-3 help the knee but it would harm the kidney? Well, Omega-3 ain't going to Omega-3. I love, it's an anti-inflammatory. It is good for your joints. It's not necessarily my go-to for joints, but I like it. It is very anti-inflammatory. And you know what? Why? Let me be nice, Sarah. Why on earth would anyone discourage Omega-3? We live in a world of omega six.
Today is what? It's Memorial day, isn't it? In the United States? Okay. Okay, so this is for my American friends. You have a fellow down there that I really, really appreciate. His name is Robert Kennedy, Jr. Right? Why do I like him? Because he is trying to change the food industry. I like that. And he understands that we're using the wrong oils. They're highly processed foods. Most North Americans we're no different in Canada than you are in the USA. We eat the same processed foods go in the middle aisles of your grocery store, and what are you going to see there? Foods that are made with oil, they're preserved with oil, and they're very high in omega six. They're called process or highly hydrogenated. What they're really meant for is not your body but your car. Okay? They're called seed oils from grape seed to soy to canola, to you name it, guys.
Those oils, I call 'em the hateful eight. They drive your omega six levels up very high. That's a problem. You know why? Because if your omega six levels are too high compared to your Omega-3, you are going to have inflammation in your body without you even knowing it. It's one of the reasons I don't want you touching soy milk, but when it comes to inflammation, you are never going to get enough omega, in my opinion, especially the long chain fatty acid of Omega-3 called DHA. Okay? We like to explain it. There's a lot of cars on the highways, okay? You got Toyotas, you got Hondas, you got Chevrolets, you got Kias, you got this and that and the other ones, right? But DHA is a specific Omega long chain fatty acid, the most important or the best car on the road, in my opinion. And I'll tell you why, because it is the most bioavailable oil. So am I big on Omega-3? Yeah. Do I like fish? Yeah, in a capsule. And by the way, when you have grass fed beef, you get a lot of Omega-3 in steak. You get more Omega-3 in a steak, d, HA than you do in fish.
If it's grass fed the way cows are supposed to, they eat grass, so you don't have to eat salad. Let the cows eat the salad. Okay? Very opinionated on that, but I'm right. Okay? I think I answered Darla's the other day. Chantel, what do you say is the cause of melanoma? Lack of sun. Melanoma is the most dangerous of all cancers. And here's the facts. A lot of people don't like that when I talk like this, but here are the fox. Melanoma occurs, which is the deadly cancer occurs in people that don't get in the sun. And it's amazing where melanoma shows up, it'll show up where this is an expression. Don't get mad where my mother used to say this, where the sun don't shine. Okay?
My mother said, I'm going to kick you in a place where the sun don't shine. Okay? And that's what happens in melanoma. It's a fact. Now, how long have I been saying this? Okay, because people were scared of the sun brought to you by Johnson and Johnson. I've been saying that for 50 years, brought to you by Johnson and Johnson, they wanted you to use their sunscreen and were they smart or what? They marketed to the dermatologists of the world and they convinced the whole world that the sun was the boogeyman and the sun gives you skin cancer and you're going to die from it. No. Melanoma is where the sun don't shine. That's where it shows up almost invariably. Okay? Now you have different types of cancer, skin cancer, squamous cell, basal cell carcinoma. I don't ask anyone to burn in the sun, okay? I don't ask anyone to burn in the sun, okay? Okay. Charlene, what are your thoughts on emerging 1000 vitamin C pouches? Do they contain corn and vegetable? I don't know. Charlene. I haven't looked at them. Okay, I could have looked it up and saw if they do contain any corn or vegetable oil, they might. I don't know. I like vitamin C guys. Okay? Even the other one. Now, the biggest vitamin C me is coffee.
And I mean it. Not that it contains vitamin C, although it has a little bit of traces of it. Coffee is better than the other vitamin C. The research to me is so conclusive. I don't know how to tell you now. I like vitamin C in this sense. Ascorbic acid. I like it. Why do I like it? Well, I like it for Lucy, for example, who was asking about breast cancer? If you can, Lucy, I would get an injection, an IV of vitamin C. You need a lot of vitamin C to fight cancer. Just taking a supplement of it. Nah, you can't get enough of it. It's not bioavailable enough for it to be effective in a therapeutic. I like the IV of vitamin C. I would highly recommend it. And I've seen studies with tumors and vitamin C, the other vitamin C, but injectable vitamin C.
Okay, and this one here, emerging 1000 vitamin C. You want to take it? I've got no problem with that. You want to take vitamin C? I like coffee better. It's the real vitamin C. Okay. I'm not against it though. If you want to take vitamin C, take it. I got vitamin C by the way, in nal, I found out 40 years ago that if you take pine bar extract and you combine it with ascorbic acid, vitamin C, vitamin C becomes much more bioavailable proven when it's attached to Pine Park extract. That's why I put it in our capsule. If anyone has noticed like we put in a high dose of Pine Park extract, then navit all, but I put in vitamin C because that vitamin C is going to get to its intended destination because of the transport of pine bark, the bioavailability proven in studies. Okay, I think I got all of them folks here. Let me just make sure I didn't miss any. And I think I got everyone.
Yeah, I think I did okay. As far as I know. I didn't miss anyone this morning. Okay. Okay. We got a great week coming. Lots of new studies, lots of new research things that you and I want to talk about. Okay? Invite your friends, tell 'em all about the doctors in podcast on their favorite smart device. Tell 'em about Facebook. If they want to watch us live, they can. Eight 30 Easter. Okay. Or is it daylight saving? I don't know. It's Easter. We're in the Eastern time zone. Okay, we love you. Talk to you soon.
