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. How are you? Once again, welcome to another live q and a Friday. Always fun, always lots of questions, and probably not going to get to all of them. I'm just looking up my list here. Okay, let's get to the questions. First question that I see, could Dr. Martin talk about pancreatic cancer and the causes? Okay. Recently had a 56-year-old cousin die from it. I'll tell you, pancreatic cancer, okay, just let me give you a little bit of history. Pancreatic cancer was a rare cancer. If you read my medical books in the 1970s, pancreatic cancer was an extremely rare cancer. You know what? It happened to old men. It was an old man, not women. An old man's cancer in the 1970s. Extremely rare. Today, pancreatic cancer is out of control. It's interesting because Andrea is saying some research on it causes indicates that a high fat diet is contributing factor as well as inflammation.
That is a bunch of bunk, a high fat diet. Guys, you know me. Something happens. I want to know why I'm a why guy. If we see an enormous increase in pancreatic cancer, why? Well, what else have we seen? An enormous increase since the 1970s. Sugar. Not fat. Fat. We're eating less fat than ever. Everybody went stupid on fat. Okay? I call it saturated stupid. That was the world saturated fat in eggs, meat and cheese and butter. It's all bad. It clogs your arteries. It's no good for you. No, it's just the opposite. And what happened? People went saturated, stupid. So what they did, instead of eating eggs, meat and cheese, they had nothing but grains and plants. I'm not against plants and manmade food like margarine guys. It ain't fat that causes pancreatic cancer. It's sugar. Your pancreas was never meant, ever meant to secrete that much insulin.
But when we insist on eating sugar, like a dump truck load, most North Americans consume a dump truck load of sugar in a year. Not a 25 pound bag like it was in the fifties. Not a 50 pound bag like it was in the seventies. It's 200 pounds. And when you go carb crazy, it's just sugar molecules. So you have a piece of bread, okay? It's just sugar molecules holding hands. You have a muffin. It's just sugar molecules holding hands. You have a bagel. It's just sugar molecules holding hands. You need a lot of insulin to break that food down. You have cereal in the morning. It's just sugar molecules holding hand. Might be a little protein in there, whatever, but it's sugar molecules. So guess what? Your pancreas has a job to do. Pancreatic cancer and the increase in it, I mean, it's gone through the roof.
It's up like over 300% compared to when I was in school in the seventies. Why? We're eating more meat? No, we're eating less meat than ever. Okay. That was a good question. It got me going and it heated up my engines. I get a migraine. Could they always want to vilify fat? Always. Guys, like I said, saturated stupid. Okay, they want to vilify fat. Yesterday I talked about the Inuit and somebody came on the scroll afterwards. I didn't see it during the program, otherwise I would've answered it. A lot of times. I don't see what you're posting, guys. Okay, because I'm distracted. No, I'm doing the program. I can't always see what you're saying. Okay. But afterwards, sometimes I'll go on there and the lady said, well, wait a minute, Dr. Martin hold you on to your horses. Because what she said was, well, the Inuit weren't that healthy.
Well, yes they were because this has been well documented. Go back as early as the 1920s, and they documented the help people got stuck up in the Arctic with them and they wrote, and they actually wrote textbooks on the health of the Eskimo, how healthy they were. They had no heart disease. Now they did die. Okay? Polar bears, ato, that's just a joke. Well, maybe they did, but they didn't have antibiotics. They get an infection. People died like antibiotics. One of the greatest discoveries ever in medicine. Hallelujah for them. Now, of course, we got the double-edged sword, but yeah, they died. Of course, they died. They died from infection and that, but they didn't die from heart disease. They didn't die from cancer. Okay? This is documented, guys. They didn't die from what we died from, okay? The biggest killers in our society. Number one, heart disease.
We haven't even made a dent in heart disease worse than ever, cancer, worse than ever. They're saying cancer by the year 2050. It's going to be so out of control. It's crazy what you'd think things would be getting better. No, no. Some things are better, but Alzheimer's, diabetes, autoimmune, worse than ever. All of them are worse than ever. Well, diabetes, it's like on steroids today. What causes diabetes? Sugar, we hate to say it, not me, but you can't pick on sugar. Sure I can. It's sugar, diabetes. That's why you got so much pancreatic cancer. Okay? That only took me 10 minutes to answer the first question. Okay. Danny Lay is saying, how about has caps? Those are berries, right? Hey, Danny, look, I only read research, so I brought out a new thing on blueberries the other day, how powerful they are as terms of an antioxidant, and I always knew that.
But while blueberries, man, they're just saying, and that's why I like them in a Dr. Martin perfect smoothie. I really do love blueberries. Okay, wild are better. Has cap berry. I haven't seen a lot of research on it. I really haven't. I'm not saying there isn't. Well, I am saying there, I haven't seen it, but that don't mean it's no good. I think they're very, very good, powerful antioxidant. Okay? I'm trying to think if I've ever had any, I can't remember, but I sure had a lot of blueberries like we call blueberries gold, okay? Because that's what it costs you. If you don't go pick your blueberries in Northern Ontario, you can buy them. Drive down the highway in our city at a certain time of the year, just late July, even maybe a little bit earlier than that, and it's blueberry season. And there's a lot of people, and I'm telling you, you pay a fortune for them.
Are they worth it? You bet your boots. Okay. Thank you for the question, Danny Lee, I got no problem. You just continue on with your has caps, is that how you say it? Okay, Susanna, what would the diet and supplement suggestion for the following report? It says eight millimeters enhanced nodules, interior, pancreatic. There you go. Pancreatic A tumor. No associated duct dilation. Okay, well, biggest thing in tumors. D-H-A-D-H-A. There's not a lot of research on it because you can't patent it, but very impressive research came out of Europe on DHE, destroying. It's like a Trojan horse destroying tumors. Now, I put a thing up this morning on our private Facebook group, okay? I don't know if you saw it or not. Cancer hates. Did you see my, I was very proud of myself because I wrote that out and I could read my own writing.
I'm surprised by that. A lot of times I can't even read my own writing. It's so bad. Okay, but I said cancer hates steak. Cancer hates DHA. Cancer hates Kirkman. Just a lot of studies. Cancer hates, of course, vitamin D, of course, sun steak and steel cancer hates that because it don't grow. You eat steak, cancer can't feed on it. Doesn't feed on steak. Cancer hates coffee. There's a lot of studies on that, especially esophageal liver cancer. Colorectal cancer hates coffee can grow. Coffee is a powerful anti-cancer. Flax seeds, any estrogen driven cancer, breast, prostate, ovarian, uterine, they're all estrogen driven. Cancers hate flaxie. They hate steel. They hate muscle. Cancer hates muscle because muscle is an endocrine organ in itself. It helps to store glucose. And if it's stores glucose cancer can't get at it to feed on it. That's why we talk about muscle big time.
Okay? Big time. Okay. Okay, let me see. Now, that was Susan, Wendy. Okay. I'm wondering what you think about low dose bioidentical hormones for a 75-year-old woman. I'm not against it. I did bioidentical hormones for a lot of years. Okay, let me just tell you ahead of time, because I'm consistent. I haven't changed my mind and I don't think I'll ever change my mind. I'm not against bioidentical hormones, okay? What I'm against is when they give you a bioidentical estrogen, I never believe in that. I don't believe in that. I won't believe in that. I don't like estrogen. I understand why they do it, because somebody else asked, here, let me get it. Amanda is asking about the Dutch test. I did Dutch testing, but I always say, Amanda, don't get into the weeds. People get into the weeds. They get so complicated with hormones and they're trying to adjust every little, little bit of hormone.
I don't like that. I wasn't like that in my practice. And any physician that I was able to train, I tried to get them to look at the big picture and I would draw them the pyramid with ovaries, adrenals, insulin, the pancreas and the thyroid. I draw them the pyramid and said, okay, look, whenever you have trouble, it's in the pyramid here, so fix that. And estrogen. I know you're 75 years old. Of course, estrogen is coming down, okay? I know in HRT, they want to give you estrogen. I don't like it because I know what cancer grows on. Cancer needs estrogen. Cancer needs insulin. So I don't like it. I like progesterone. And our menopausal supplement elevates progesterone. That's what it does. It dims out estrogen. But Dr, I don't have enough estrogen. Sure you do. Sure you do. And I'll tell you why.
Because everything in the environment, in the air, in water, in the food, in everything that you can think of, we live in a toxic soup. You want to go to Costa Rica? Good. It's toxic. There's plastic in the water, microplastics in the water, it's in the air, it's in the food, it's in everything. And I'm not even being negative. It's just a fact. All of that stuff mimics estrogen. Your body thinks it's estrogen. They're called xenoestrogens. I've been talking about this for 30 something years, and women and men, but women especially. Your body goes, oh, it's estrogen. Thank you. Come here.
I love you. But there's xenoestrogens and they make things grow and they throw off your thyroid. When your estrogen's higher than your progesterone, your thyroid slows to a crawl. Dr. Martin, my thyroid is in a coma. I heard that a million times. I'm gaining weight. I just look at food. I look at food sideways. I gain weight. My hair, my nails, my skin, my eyebrows and all this and that. And I go, yeah, yeah, I get it. I'm a man. But I get it. Okay, so guys, this is where I come from. A lot of people disagree with me. I get that. I understand that. But I think I'm right. Okay. And when women, they're micromanaged, I don't like that they're micromanaged. I never ever gave a woman testosterone ever, because your testosterone levels in a woman have everything to do with estrogen. I never gave it.
I gave progesterone. Okay? There's a lot of questions about that, but I was consistent. You want to get into the weeds and all? I got the Dutch test, and this is deer, and this is the percentage and this and that. And you know what I used to tell my patients? I said, do you want to spend a fortune or do you want to just, let's start with food. And if I tell you to take flax seeds every day, take that. If I give you a supplement to lower your estrogen, take that. That was me. Okay? That's the way I operate it. And I'm more convinced today than I used to be in my practice state because I see the detriment of estrogen. I see cancers getting worse and worse and worse. And women, breast cancer ladies is worse than ever. Gee, you think we'd make a dent in it?
Nope. It's worse than ever. Why so much estrogen in the world? Anyhoo. Okay, let me get to another question. That was Wendy. Joanne. I recently had a bone density. Here we go. Okay. My doctor recommends calcium. You see my face? You see me getting a migraine. My doctor recommends calcium. Well, here's the problem. You take a calcium supplement, it doesn't get to the intended destination. You take a supplement of calcium, it goes to your bloodstream. Where do you want it to go? To my bones. Yeah. It don't get there. That's why. What have you heard me say? Some of you have been following me for almost 30 years. Radio, what did you hear me say 30 years ago? Eat calcium. Don't take it as a supplement. Edith Wine. God gave you exactly what you need in food. When you eat an egg, you got calcium.
You got a lot of calcium in an egg with vitamin K2. When you have dairy, butter, cheese, what do you have? You have calcium with K2. Okay? In nature, the way it's supposed to be when you have a steak, there's a lot of calcium in steak with vitamin K2, therefore it gets delivered. See, calcium needs to be delivered to your bones and to your teeth. Osteoporosis, you know what happened in osteoporosis and why do we see so much of it in women today? It's not, and we're not eating calcium or at least not taking calcium tablet. You know that up to, I don't know if it still is, but up to a few years ago, calcium supplements were the number one supplement of all time, but it never got to its intended destination because man thinks they're smarter than God. And so take a calcium.
There's a doctor take calcium. A doctor who hasn't taken five seconds of nutrition is telling patients to take calcium. No, you don't. Well, first of all, if you want strong bones, you take vitamin D with K2 because vitamin D will elevate your calcium, which is beautiful. Okay? We always knew that. I mean, as a kid, they give you vitamin D, right? They give you a vitamin D and vitamin A for your bones, right? Remember that? Cod liver oil. But you see, you want vitamin K2 in it. Cheese. That's K2 dairy. That's K2 with the calcium. So don't take a calcium supplement. Take vitamin D for sure. A hundred percent. Okay? For sure. I hate to tell people about the injections, okay? Like you take these medications for bone building. The problem is they just don't build proper bone. I don't like them. Boatload of side effects, but I can't tell you not to take it. Okay? That was Joanne. Okay, let me do another one here.
Has had severe ulcerated colitis. Okay? He's been on EMC, which I like. Lay off. Jacque, you've got severe ulcerative colitis. Lay off the fiber. Drink water, drink coffee. Okay? What else? You've been put on Prednisone? Yeah, prednisone. Junkins. Not help much. Takes vitamin D. Yep. You're doing all the things that I would do. Bone broth. I hope you're doing that Jacque. You want to regenerate the lining. Really. Practice, I believe especially with ulcerative colitis or IBS or whatever. Do intermittent fasting. Don't eat at night. Give that gut lots of time to heal. I like aloe vera too. Okay. Aloe vera is very good. Aloe vera juice, four to eight ounces a day of that helps with the gut. Okay?
Okay, you know what, guys? Let's finish this up on Monday. I got so many more to go. Hold on. Yeah, I got a lot of questions, so let's do that. Okay? Guys, we love you guys so much. You're so good. We appreciate all the questions coming in. I know I'm very opinionated. I'm glad you bear with me, okay? And sometimes I get off on rants, but we love you dearly. Talk to you soon.
