Dr. Martin: Well good morning everyone. And once again, welcome to another live this morning. Hope you're having a wonderful start to your day. We certainly are. Have you had your coffee? Okay, let me get to my sheet I wanted to look at. I want to talk about this study here. Okay. New research under the University of California talking about disrupted microbiome. They disrupted microbiome. Okay, so this is new research. Here are the headlines. Vegetable oils disrupt the gut. Okay. Disrupt the gut. And here's how they do it. So when I'm talking about vegetable oils, I talk about the hateful eight. Okay? Probably the number on all the vegetable oils that is used more frequently than anything else I think from what I've read is soybean. And then there's canola, Canada's gift to the world, canola oil, sunflower oil, corn oil, safflower oil, grape seed oil, margarine. Okay? Bad oils. Did I miss any?
The good fat, okay, we'll just go over quickly. Butter, tallow, lard, coconut oil, avocado oil. You can certainly use that. Olive oil. If you get a good olive oil, make sure it is pure olive oil because apparently they're diluting it now and using some of these bad fats in there. My word. Anyway, this is very significant, guys, because what they're showing, because I've said this to you many times. The problem with vegetable oils, man, did they ever couch that with a name vegetable oils. Oh, must be good. Far from it. But the thing that I mentioned to you many, many a time is that these vegetable oils raise your omega-6. And where our ratio would be at one time, if you go back 50 years or so, it'd be about 3 to 1 omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. But now it's 20 to 1, 30 to 1 because people live on these oils. They're in everything. The salad dressing, sauces, fried foods, crackers, pretzels, anything in the middle aisles of the grocery store. Even frozen foods use this oil. Most restaurants cook in these oils. McDonald's used to cook in lard and then the oil police came around and made them change to cook it in vegetable oils. And I think they're using either canola or soybean.
The problem with that, and I used to tell you this all the time, is that it raises inflammation because of the ratio between omega-6 and omega-3. So we know that, but we kind of thought, but research is showing bearing it out that vegetable oils disrupt the gut. So let me give you a little bit of what they said in the study so that we break it down a litle bit more. It disrupts the microbiome. Very significant. How dangerous that is. So here's what they found. Vegetable oils disrupt the microbiome by killing the good guys. The beneficial microbiome is decreased. The lactobacillus, they go down. The reuteri, the rhamnosus. Those are really important strains of microbiome guys. You can't see them, but they're on your side. They help the body detox. They help the body keeping that tight-knit gut, the tight junctions they call it, so that no garbage gets into your bloodstream. But what happens, it disrupts the microbiome and especially kids in that they're consuming all this bad oil. Nobody's told them. The world has gone stupid with these oils that belong in your car.
They actually poured this stuff. Okay guys, I brought this to you 500 podcasts ago, that they actually used this oil to power a 747 plane and it worked. You could put this on, I mean, I get a headache. It disrupts the microbiome. So the friendly bacteria, there's good, you know that in your gut. There's good, bad, and ugly in your gut. And that's all right. Everybody has or should have good bacteria, bad bacteria. And I always used to say this, okay, because I like to use Bible illustration. There's a story. Remember David and Goliath? Well, you had the Israeli army and the Philistine army and they came out every day across a valley and they would face off against each other. They just looked at each other and your gut guys, you got bad guys and you got good guys. And as long as you have more good than bad, you win. You win.
You're going to have bad bacteria. And one of the worst things I hate is an oversanitized environment. Like people that wear a mask all the time and they're scared skinny of viruses and bacteria. They live their lives. They hear about... What was that new one that was coming out that made the news a couple of weeks ago? Is it Hantavirus? It drives me mental. And then it got killed by the Ebola. Every week there's a new bug out and it scares the life out of people. I used to tell my patients, I used to tell my radio audience, I've been talking about this for years on this program and what am I talking about? Take care of you. Start with you. Don't worry about other people yet. Okay? You're on an airplane and they tell you in the event that you need oxygen, the mask will fall from the ceiling and then they tell you, put yours on first before you help anybody else. I like that. You're no good to know on if you pass out. Put your mask on first, then you can help.
And when it comes to your microbiome, guys, when it comes to your immune system, take care of yourself first. Make sure that your microbiome is good. Make sure that your immune system is working. Make sure that your vitamin D levels are good because if you don't have good levels of vitamin D, your immune system won't work properly. I don't care what you think. No, no, no. It don't work. Your T cells don't work without vitamin D, but a big part of your immune system is your microbiome. You got to have more good guys than bad guys, but you're going to have bad guys. And what they showed in this study is a disrupted microbiome with people that consume too much of vegetables, so-called vegetable oils. It affected the microbiome in this way. It killed the good guys and increased harmful bacteria like E. Coli. E. Coli went up. Good bacteria went down with bad oils.
So now you got a double whammo because you got inflammation going through the roof.That ain't good for you. And you got a disrupted microbiome. Now your gut is susceptible to invasion. Cause they never talk about this, but this is so important, guys, so important in the microbiome. When you don't have enough good guys and the bad guys take over. Now remember this, you take five days of a antibiotic, you wipe out all your good bacteria. It's gone. It's been carpet bombed. That sets you up. I talked about this, it seems like a hundred years ago. When I did my research on chronic fatigue syndrome, I talked about this, the disrupted gut, leaky gut. People thought I was crazier than a hoot owl talking about what's leaky gut. Well, you get a fungal infection, you get the invasion of the Trojan horse, yeast. Everybody has a little bit of yeast, but you don't want too much of it because what happens? It invades the body.
Remember, if you don't have enough friendly bacteria, the border, okay, you know me and my borders. You got a northern border on the north end of your body. It's in your, you call your blood brain barrier. It's a border. And we never understood the blood brain barrier. When I was in school, we knew it existed, but we never understood it. We never understood between the gut and the brain, that border. You have a border. Guess what? It's made up of bacteria and it doesn't want anything to come across it. No garbage in your brain. It's protecting your brain. It's amazing. Except what we know today is that when the southern border is invaded, your gut, your blood-gut barrier. When that gets invaded because you don't have enough border guards there, your friendly bacteria has been disrupted and the bad guys take over. You get an invasion of yeast and yeast gets into the bloodstream and then crosses the blood brain barrier, the northern border and it brings garbage into the brain. You get an overgrowth, not only a fungus but of E. Coli.
And when E. Coli gets through into the bloodstream, even in the gut, if E. Coli, they're not enough friendly bacteria. You can get diarrhea, you can get IBS, you can get IBD inflammatory bowel disease. With fungus, you get Crohn's. It's involved in diverticulosis. We know that yeast or fungus is the problem of SIFO, small intestine fungal overgrowth. They always say it's bacterial, but it's really a fungal overgrowth in the small intestine. How does that happen? And a lot of times autoimmune, listen to what I'm going to say for a minute. Okay? So anyone with autoimmune, they came into my office. I used to show them they have a leaky gut. They have an overgrowth of fungus and it can be displayed in different ways. And to be honest, I never saw an exception to it. From Graves', Hashimoto's on the thyroid to skin, psoriasis, eczema, to Sjogren's, to MS and I put Parkinson's up there too. Inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's in the gut, all leaky gut, all a disruption of the microbiome. I'll give you a little history. Okay. I'll give you a little history.
Almost everyone that I ever tested in my office had their microbiome carpet bombed by antibiotics. Two, they were big, and they didn't even realize it, consumers of vegetable oils, the hateful eight. And when you have, for example, this is sort of a condition that I've talked about because they get asked about it, this mast cell activation syndrome, okay? Mast cells, MAST. What is that? Well, they're white blood cells that release histamine. So why do we see today? I'm a why guy. Why today? When I went to school, there was no such thing. I'm going to tell you, I was born, or at least my grandchildren think I was born in the days of Noah. I was born in the days of Noah. When I went to school, I never saw a puffer. Okay. In the 1950s, never. We could bring peanut butter to school. What would I have done without peanut butter? But you can't even bring it to school anymore. You ever ask the question why? Why is that happening? It's the gut.
So when you see, why do we see so much autoimmune disease today? Why? Microbiome disruption. Leaky gut. Leaky brain. Leaky gut. Leaky skin. Leaky gut. Leaky sinuses. Okay. Why do we see so much of it? Leaky gut, leaky lung. Leaky gut, leaky joints. Rhumatoid arthritis. Okay, it's been around, but there's so much more of it today. Juvenile arthritis, type one diabetes, that's autoimmune. Why do those little canaries in the coal mine, why did they get type one diabetes? Perfect storm, in my opinion, for these kids. It's a disruption of the microbiome and you can get it in the southern border and you can get it in the northern border. You like my illustration of borders? And the Trojan horse, candida, fungus. They're saying this and I'm not totally disagreeing with because there's a lot of stuff online now talking about every cancer is a parasite. It's parasites. Well, I beg to disagree. I think it's fungus.
So can you imagine autoimmune. That's what they're saying here. The microbiome is getting fleeced by this so-called vegetable oils. You put it in a perfect combination of antibiotics, carpet bombing the microbiome, and then you add the food with these oils. You know what? Let's say you're having toast with margarine and you put margarine because it's a better fat, right? Says who? Because you see, this is why it happened, guys, because the food industry and cardiologists and whatever they said, well, fat. Look at saturated fat. It's saturated. That gives you fat in your blood vessels. That gives you cholesterol. Thus, we must stop that and let's change from butter to margarine. So now you're having margarine on your toast. You know there's still people that do that? They have margarine.
And margarine consumed your gut when it gets down there. Your gut goes, "What is it? I wasn't designed for margarine. You're not fooling me," says your gut. "You're damaging me. I don't know what you are. You're a foreign invader. I have no ability to break down this so-called oil." Your body wasn't designed for it. Your body was designed for real fat, right? You have an egg, has real fat. You have butter. You have real fat in butter. Your body knows what it is. Oh, there it is. You can't even absorb vitamins, fat soluble vitamins like vitamin D without it. You want fat, good fat. And so study after study now, and look, the most fascinating new research is on the microbiome. It's fascinating. You think anybody a hundred years ago was consuming margarine? No, you had butter until they vilified it. Oh, it'll elevate your cholesterol. It'll give you a heart attack. You better not have too many eggs. You better not have cheese. You better not have butter. You better not have steak. And if you have steak, like make it lean. And so you go to the grocery store, you can hardly find fat hamburger. You got to ask the butcher for it. Can you leave some fat in the hamburger, please? It's good for you.
And by the way, on this same study, they showed the microbiome, the good guys being disrupted and killed off. The bad guys thriving like E. Coli. And by the way, you know what ladies generally will give you the bladder infection is E. Coli sitting on top of yeast or fungus in your bladder. Fungus loves moisture. That's why it loves your sinuses. It loves your lungs. It loves your bladder. It loves that moist area. And now we did a whole runaround and I forgot to talk about cancer again. Hold on a minute. I'm pulling out my senior card. Let me finish the point on cancer because I forgot it. I was going off on everything else. Okay. Here's the point, guys. They say it's parasites because you see a lot of that on the internet now on YouTube. But Dr. Martin, as much as I love those gurus, I disagree. I think the vast majority of cancers are fungal-based. So not only autoimmune, because cancer in a way is autoimmune. It's the body turning on itself. And the reason I say it's yeast, because tumors, they love sugar, cancer cells. We talked about that. The PET scan. And there's nothing that loves sugar more than yeast. Don't feed the bears. I've only been saying that for 30 years because we got bears in Northern Ontario. We had so many a few years ago, my sister said they're buying condos. Okay. Don't feed them. Don't feed the yeast. They love sugar.
Okay, I just thought I'd bring that study out. I got all excited, guys. You know what? Tomorrow is Q&A, right? Tomorrow's Q&A. Isn't that fun? So send you questions in. I don't think it's too late. Info@martinclinic.com. So that's tomorrow Q&A. And we'll see how many we get because we might do Q&A Monday. We'll see how often I get off onto diatribes and I get off on tangents and I go down rabbit trails because I do that. And look at this morning. I almost never came back. Guys, when you get to my age, you better be able to laugh at yourself. Okay? My wife laughs at me and I laugh at myself because my word. Okay, guys. Okay. We love you and we'll talk to you soon.
