Good advice for a long life.

0:00 Speaker 1 With us today is our in house genius otherwise known as doctor Peter Mihelos, and he’s our historian, he’s our medical expert, etc. Et cetera, et cetera, Doctor Peter. What’s going on that people should know?

0:17 Speaker 2 Well, I think today we’re going to start off with a little bit of the bad news, and one of them is that something we hinted at WABC that cases of TB are rising in the United States. We did do a good job of getting that scourge under control in the US. It used to be a big problem,

0:36 and now just in New York City alone, there’s been five hundred new cases, and nationally around the world, especially near areas where there are large international airports and areas near the border. And again TB can enter the country internationally from legal and illegal methods of migration. It doesn’t necessarily have to be legal methods of migration because our

1:02 screening systems are insufficient currently. And sometimes TV someone can just have a cough and be a carrier and they can enter a bus, a train, a plane, you know, come visit a family members and spread that TV and then a child can even young people can get TV and bring it to the school systems, but five hundred

1:24 cases is not a good thing. The problem is that they also have these resistant cases. What does that mean? Means the current treatments don’t work as well. And we’ve also been told by some of the nurses that when they speak to the patients, they tell them get to New York because they can help you and treat your

1:41 resistant cases. Because what they do in some of these countries you can buy antibiotics over the counter, so they’re partially treated, and then the TV develops resistant cases. So that’s one of the issues that you know that we have to address as a public health issue. And also we’ve defunded, for example, in Ork, the TV programs have

2:01 been defunded, and we need to fund our three hospitals, and healthcare is national security and it’s very important. On a happy note, we’re going to talk about some of the exciting new pet BT scanners. They have new scanners now that have so many detectors on them that they can scan an entire at once, which is simply amazing.

2:24 That it can probably pick up tumors, it’ll be able to show changes in the brain and certain patterns, and that’s the one place where AI will be helpful because you are inputting the information. It’s as good as the input of the radiologists. But it can pick up and screen things and say, oh, this based on previous patterns

2:44 and previous scans, looks like it’s a Alzheimer’s pattern, or this looks like a brain tumor, or this looks like a part blockage, or this looks like a kidney cancer. And all that’s going to start coming out with these machines that can scan an entire body of an adult in five minutes and a child in one minute. So

3:04 that’s going to be a major progress. And there are three scanners right now that they’re using in the United Kingdom because in these national health systems they want to Now they’re realizing they have to catch cancers early to treat them, just like they’re doing with the Gallery test, which is a blood test that can find fifty cancers early,

3:22 even before when they’re microscopic, before they even show up on a scan. But all these new modalities are amazing and exciting, including things like breath analysis where people will be puffing into a breeding device and they’ll tell you if you have sepsis, infections, callon cancers, possibly even COVID.

3:41 Imagine being able to just breathe into a machine and it can tell you if you have a certain disease or the flu right away with a decision.

3:49 Speaker 1 I saw that on Star Trek fifty years ago.

3:53 Speaker 2 Well absolutely, Actually one of the things that Star Trek was that scanner that doctor McCoy would put on the body. They do have out these Wi Fi portable little devices that are the size of a cigarette and it’s a scanner and you can do an ultrasound, like when someone comes into the ar with trauma and you want to

4:12 make sure they didn’t rupture their speed or bleeding internally. You can actually put that scanner on the belly and see blood right away. So instead of wasting time going to the cat scanner and waiting to get the result, you can scan someone instantly, see blood in their abdomen and take them straight to the operating room and save

4:28 their lives. And that’s something actually a device that you know has has I’ve seen it where doctors have told me when they got those devices, it definitely has saved lines. Similar to what you saw on Star Trek. With these devices and ones that you wave over someone, you can do these quick ultrasounds now of the abdomen with these

4:49 microscopic portable machines that transmit by bluetooth to a monitor, so you’re looking at the screen, but the actual device is the side of the little Star trek. So these are all amazing things. And I’m, you know, very excited to see all this stuff happening in healthcare and medicine and uh, you know, and I think also one of

5:10 the things I want to do on Sundays is give people health tips on how to be healthier and some of the things they can do.

5:16 Speaker 1 Give us that like cancer, You give us that cancer test that we should do. Uh, I guess at least once a year.

5:26 Speaker 2 The Gallery test by Grail and the.

5:29 Speaker 1 Gallery test by Grail.

5:31 Speaker 2 Yeah, And it’s interesting because I know someone who didn’t feel right and it ended up it came back positive ovarian cancer signal and it wasn’t detected by any other exams. But then they went had an MRI. They saw one over it was a little bigger than the other. And guess what they did the laparoscopic removal of that over

5:48 and it was still with cancer, but they took it out before it spread. Another fellow came back positive bladder signal and they found a pencil size in the bladder that turned out to be can there and they quote it early. So having these tools you know that are pretty accurate. Of course, sometimes you’ll get a false positive

6:07 and you’ll have to work it up like any test. But overall, if they can save lives and catch things early, it makes a big difference because the survival rate is dramatically better when you catch things early.

6:20 Speaker 1 Understood, what else would you like to tell the public this Sunday morning, I want, we want, we all want to live long. Though, why what do you think?

6:30 Speaker 2 Well, I’ll tell them about some of the over the counter things that remedies. For example, as winter is coming, people get access ulcers, little ulcers in their mouths, and coal stars will always consult your doctor. Using good old fashioned amino acidical lysine found to be very helpful in reducing the duration. They even make now a chapstick that’s

6:50 out of lysine, as it works so effective. How it works on the molecular level, we don’t know that you can use to help with skin rashes, eggs and and things. For new products that are for hemorrhoids, like anakool that has a alo green tea, vitamin E, witch hazel and one percent hydro cortisone. There’s a arnica gell and cream

7:14 that people use on their bruises after surgery. A lot of the plastic surgeons use them. So those are some of the little tips you can discuss with your doctor for over the counter things. But you don’t really hear about a lot because if you can’t get intellectual property rights on a natural substance, nobody’s going to spend the

7:30 money to two hundred million to take it through the FDA. So sometimes you have to hear it from your doctor or listen to WABC for more excellent health tips to help you live longer, stay healthier, because it’s all about health span.

7:46 Speaker 1 Well, thank you doctor Peter me hellos, and thank you for keeping a lot of our listeners living longer so they can listen longer. Thank you so much.

7:54 Speaker 2 Thanks for always getting the truth out on the Cats round Table.
