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 and on the road this morning. But that's alright. Guys, we love you. Thanks for coming on. Now, we made an announcement yesterday about our new book, okay, Rebuilding the Temple. Guys, sign up for that. Okay? Go to our website, martinclinic.com and it tells you what to do to sign up and we'd like you to sign up before it comes out. You'll get special notifications and early delivery. It is, I'm telling you, it's a great book. I think you will love it just the way we set it up. Tony Jr and I, we've been working on this for a long time and I have no doubt that you're going to love this new book Rebuilding Your Temple, okay? Coming to a theater near you.

Okay, let's do a couple of things this morning. Sometimes, guys, I get my breath taken away, okay? Just on some of the stupidity, okay? Now, if I had not read this, it takes my breath away. But let me tell you what I mean by that. The American Academy of Pediatrics warning, this is a warning. Unintended consequences. Listen to this absolute insanity by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Here's what they said, unintended consequences. Warning, calling, breastfeeding, natural. Okay? Listen to the headline. Calling breastfeeding natural is dangerous. Why you ask? Because mothers might start believing that natural things are healthier than things that come out of the pharmaceutical company like vaccines. The unintended consequences of calling breastfeeding natural. Don't do that they say. Don't call it natural because then you might think natural is good for you.

Guys you should have seen the migraine I got when I read that. You should have seen my blood pressure go up when I read that. You can't make this up. You can't make it up. They actually said it. Don't call breastfeeding natural in case people, the mass idiots out there, because that's what the American Academy of Pediatrics thinks of you. And you and me we're idiots and we might just for one minute think that natural is good for you. Like I said, you can't make it up. You can't make this up. They actually said it. And look, I'm not even talking about vaccines. I'm not talking about vaccines, but I mean if that's the way you got to promote it, don't call breastfeeding natural. What else are you going to call it?

You see where they come from? And this is the Academy of Pediatrics. Now you know 100%, 100% they are bought and paid for by big pharma. I tell you guys all the time, you have to be able to look behind the scenes and understand what's going on in this world. Big pharma plus big food run the world. And when you go against that just for a minute, the hound dogs of the media of the government, they'll come after you. I talked to you yesterday about what's happening in Canada. They want to get rid of supplements natural. They want to be able to control it. I remember talking to someone at Health Canada, I used to be on a committee years and years and years ago where they were trying to regulate the natural product industry in Canada. I was on an early committee steering committee that eventually Canada had the best natural product safety standards in the world.

It's what I wanted, and true labeling, meaning that what you say is in that supplement, better be in that supplement and third party testing and all of that. We have it in Canada already, but what we emphasize, you're talking go back into the nineties here, what we emphasize is don't compare the studies to the pharmaceutical studies who are bought and paid for by the pharmaceutical companies because they want to get the results that they want to get. And so Canada set up this legislation. It was beautiful. You needed every supplement in Canada has to have a regulatory number, and now they want to change all that. Why? Because they're trying to get rid of supplements. They want you to get a prescription to get a supplement. I'm telling you, you might think I'm exaggerating. I'm not exaggerating at all.

And I remember, like I said, a conversation I had with an official at Health Canada in the last few years about vitamin D. A thousand IUs is what they recommend. I said, that's for a mouse. I said, all of the vitamin D, vitamin research is showing how safe vitamin D is as a supplement. It's incredible. But they want to be able to give you a prescription for it. And good luck with that. Getting a prescription over a thousand IUs, my word and remember vitamin D, listen, in the seventies when I was in school, do you know what they were recommending for vitamin D? 200 international units. And then they knew their math was wrong. They recommended 400, 400. A mouse wouldn't survive on 400 international units of vitamin D. It was miscalculated from the start.

You go out in the sun for 20 minutes, just go in the sun today. If you got sun, go in the sun for 20 minutes, you know what happens? You get 10,000 IUs. How can 10,000 IUs be toxic? If you go out in the sun for 20 minutes and you get 10,000 IUs, how can it be toxic? 20 minutes? Yeah, 20 minutes, 10,000 IUs. Well, we can't give you a want to give prescription. You want to, can't take more than a thousand IUs a day. Are you kidding me? And remember the toxicity levels, which they'd never seen by the way they might've seen a kidney stone. Here's what happened. Studies done by the vitamin D council studies 50,000 IUs of vitamin D every day for six months, every day, six months. Who does that? But they did the research. Even then you might form a kidney stone.

You know how you wouldn't? I can tell you ahead of time, if I got you to close your books right now and I asked you a question, how would you stop a kidney stone? 50,000 IUs, a vitamin D every day for six months? How you stop a kidney stone from forming? Okay, I'm going to scroll down. Let's see your answers. Let me see your answers. What's your answers? How could you stop even a kidney stone from forming? Let me see. You guys are so stinking smart. Let me see if I can get some answers here. You got a test? It's a quiz. Braheem. You got it. See, this is my audience. This is my audience. This is my audience. I've said it all the time. The smartest audience in the world, Braheem comes up and says vitamin K2. You're right. You're right. Drink water. Said, who else? Douglas. Water. You're right, Rita. Water. You're right. Water and K2, water and K2, water and K2. Carol water and K2 with vitamin D. Chaz, H2O. Kevin, water.

See, I got you thinking. You're too smart. You all get honorary PhDs in nutrition, okay? I've given it to you. Why? You're intelligent. You think. You can stop a kidney stone by drinking water and vitamin K2 with your vitamin D. And where do you get vitamin K2? In eggs, K2. In meat, K2 and dairy cheese, K2, butter K2. The highest source of vitamin K2, by the way, in food, okay, is in cheese. Okay? You guys are, you're too smart. Even Linda says, I like it. Potassium. Well, yeah, that probably would help too. I know potassium helps with kidney stone, but guys, I'm telling you, you can't get toxic on vitamin D if you tried. Okay, back to the original story. Oh, the American Academy of Pediatrics. Warning, calling breastfeeding. Don't call it natural because mothers might start believing natural things are.

See, at the end of the day, guys, we got to go back to the dark ages, go back to the dark ages when they wanted the population to be ignorant. That's where Latin came out of the dark ages. When I took Latin in high school, I didn't get convinced, but they tried to convince me that this would be a useful language down the road, especially Tony. Okay? Tony, if you go into medical school, Tony, you're going to need Latin. No, you don't. I know everything's in Latin, these big long names, but taking Latin doesn't help you. You got to memorize everything. Anyways, it was so stupid, the dark ages. But let me continue. You know why? You know why they use those big long terms? Latissimous Dorsey, latissimous Dorsey. Why do they use that? To keep you ignorant. That's why. They don't want you looking into medicine.

I talked to a guy on Sunday at church, okay? He's a follower of ours, okay? I saw him at church. We talked, he said he went to his cardiologist, okay? And his cardiologist wanted to put him on a statin drug. And he says, hold on a minute. And the cardiologist says, I don't take questions. What? Don't question me. Did you go to medical school? Did you become a specialist? Says the doctor to the patient. And he put his hand up and he said, well, listen, I've been really looking into the side effects of statins and I really am hesitant. I want to talk to you about my blood work because, and you shouldn't have said it. I've been following Dr. Martin. Talk about wave a red flag in the face. Who's that quack? But he says, my triglycerides are really good and my HDL is fantastic. I really am questioning whether I need to go on a statin or not. The cardiologist went ballistic. Out of my office. You're not my patient anymore.

This is 2025 guys going into, see, it all comes back to what I've been saying. They want you to be ignorant. They don't want you to answer a quiz like I gave you a minute ago. They don't want you as a lay person to learn about your health. You got to understand, like my father's generation, they were the worst doctor. They bowed down to the title. Well, if the cardiologist said it, stop eating butter. They stopped eating butter. They went to margarine. Stop eating salt cause salt elevates your blood pressure. No, it doesn't, but okay, I'm stop eating salt. I went butter free. Salt free, right? Cholesterol is at the root of heart disease, so you better stop eating eggs or maybe have one egg a week. My parents generation, not my dad, okay? Because my dad knew better, but my parents' generation, if the doctor said it, I'm going to eat fat free from now on.

And the whole world went stupid. The whole world went stupid. And I was John the Baptist in the wilderness. It's stupid. Butter is good for you. Meat is good for you. You can have a hundred eggs a day. Cholesterol is not the bad guy. Cholesterol's on your side. Your body's made up of cholesterol and the dermatologists were telling you, stay out of the sun. Don't be ignorant. The sun's bad. What was I saying? You need the sun. You are a solar panel. You want to die young. Get your vitamin D to be very low. You will die young. Guys, incredible, incredible.

Look, we're going to have a little bit of shorter version here today, but I just had to bring you that story. Isn't that crazy? The American Academy of Pediatrics warning, calling breastfeeding natural was dangerous. It's so stupid. It's hard to believe. But I know one thing about my audience, guys, for years I had a radio show. What did I do? I went against the grain. It made the show popular, but I wasn't aiming at physicians. Somebody said to me one time, you're going to insult doctors. Well, I don't mean to, but I'm going to tell you the truth. Look behind the scenes. The news behind the news. Why is it like that? We saw it. Like there's stuff coming out now on cancer. I would talk about this, okay? And Ivermectin, because it kills parasites and there's a whole school of thought now that parasites are at the root of cancer.

Look, I don't necessarily agree with that, but I like reading about it. Hey, I have a cancer protocol. Prevention is the big thing. We talk about that. You have cancer. Here's what I recommend, and look, that's whether you're taking chemo or radiation, all of the above. Look, that's up you as a patient. All I'm saying is here's what I would do on top of that. Here's what I recommended to tens of thousands of patients that I saw in my office after they were diagnosed with cancer. They didn't come to me first. They came to me last and I said, here's what I would do. Okay? I didn't tell 'em not to get chemo. I didn't tell 'em not to get radiation. I didn't tell 'em not to get immunotherapy. I didn't say that. I never did that. I always said, look, here's what I would do.

Food, no sugar. What? No sugar. Nada. Cancer needs fuel and its primary source of fuel. We've known this since 1928 is what? Sugar. Otto Warburg effect. What did he say about cancer cells? They were ravenous. I studied that in school, but that's been dismissed. Why? The food industry. They don't want you talking about that. The sugar industry lied, lied, lied. They paid Harvard researchers to lie about the effects of sugar. What did my dad tell me in 1968? Son, it's called sugar diabetes. I never, never, never, never, never forgot that. It's called sugar diabetes. Oh yeah, yeah. Stop eating sugar, son because you look just like me. They didn't call you Tony Jr. for nothing.

I got my blood pressure up guys today. I really did. Okay, now again, the new book coming. I know I'm going to talk about it, but I'm so excited because the new book's coming up, American Thanksgiving, we're pretty sure it's going to be out for that, okay? According to our publisher, okay? So Rebuilding your Temple. Sign up guys. Okay, sign up. Show us your love. You know what? Here's what I know this book, what do I give someone as a gift? Give them the book. Give them the book. I mean it. Okay? It makes a tremendous gift. You won't be disappointed. I mean it. Okay? Am I going to stop advertising? No, not until the book comes out. Okay. And then remember, what is Friday?
