DEBORAH
DEBORAH DUNCAN. >> GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME TO
GREAT DAY HOUSTON.
THANK YOU FOR ROLLING OUT OF
YOUR WARM BED AND COMING IN THIS
MORNING AND THOSE OF YOU AT HOME
ALL SNUGGLED UP, THANK YOU FOR
JOINING US AS WELL.
IT IS WELLNESS WEDNESDAY.
WHEN IT COMES TO THE LATEST FADS
OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS, MANY OF
US FOLLOW HOLLYWOOD BUT HOW DO
YOU SEPARATE FACT FROM FICTION?
WE HAVE DR.TIA LENA LODGEY,
THOMAS NEWTON, AND RALPH HANNAH.
WELCOME, GOOD MORNING.
ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT. BEFORE KEY GET INTO SOME OF
THOSE TOPICS, I WANT TO GET INTO
SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED
RECENTLY.
RECENTLY.
RECENTLY. LUKE PERRY PASSED AWAY FROM A
STROKE.
STROKE.
STROKE. A
STROKE. A LOT OF TIMES WE HAVE THIS MYTH
THAT STROKES HAPPEN TO OLD
PEOPLE WHEN IN FACT, A THIRD OF
PEOPLE WHO HAVE STROKES ARE
UNDER 65 YEARS OLD.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. ESSENTIALLY NEURO DEGENERATIVE
DISEASES ARE IN THE FOREFRONT OF
THE FIELD NOW AND IN GREATIVE
MEDICINE BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT
THINGS ARE BREAKING DOWN IN OUR
BODIES WITH INFLAMMATION AND THE
TOX SISTY WE ARE SURROUNDED BY.
>> HE WAS A SMOKER AND THAT IS A
RISK FACTOR BUT EVEN WITH
SMOKING, IF YOU QUICK, THE BODY
IS FORGIVING, RIGHT?
>> THEY SAY IT IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO IS TO
QUICK SMOKE.
QUICK SMOKE. IF YOU QUIT, THAT'S THE BEST FOR
YOUR HEALTH.
YOUR HEALTH. >> LET ME MOVE ON TO CHRIS PRAT.
I'M GOING TO STOP THERE.
HE IS DOING THE DANIEL FAST
WHICH IS WHY I'M DOING IT TOO.
OFTENTIMES WE GET CUES FROM WHAT
CELEBRITIES ARE DOING AND HE
LOOKS GOOD, DOESN'T HE?
IT IS 21 DAYS OF PRAYER AND
FASTING, ONLY FRUITS, VEGETABLES
AND WHOLE GRAINS, NO CAFFEINE OR
DAIRY.
DAIRY.
DAIRY. THAT IS GREAT FOR THE COLON
HEALTH, ISN'T IT?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. IT IS PRETTY MUCH THE DAY T FOR
ANY DISEASE, LESS FAT, MORE
VEGETABLES.
VEGETABLES. >> AND OUR DENTIST OVER THERE
SAYING NO SUGAR.
>> ACTUALLY THE CONSISTENCY OF
THAT FOOD IS VERY GOOD FOR THE
HEALTH OF THE GUM AND THE TEETH.
THE FIBERS, THE LEAFY GREENS,
ALL OF THAT WILL ACT AS YOU ARE
BRUSHING YOUR TEETH AND THERE IS
NO STICKY CARBS AND HIGHLY
REFINED SUGARS TO STICK AND FEED
THE BACTERIA AROUND YOUR TEETH.
>> AND THAT IS A PROBLEM WITH
OUR HEALTH, THE MODERN DAY
FOODS.
FOODS.
FOODS. >>
FOODS. >> LOOK AT THE FOOD WE GENERALLY
EAT.
EAT.
EAT. OUR
EAT. OUR PATIENTS, WE PUT THEM
USUALLY ON A 14 DAY DETOX.
NOW THEY ARE DOING INTERMITENT
FASTING BECAUSE THERE IS TRUE
SCIENCE BEHIND IT.
THIS IS CENTURIES OLD MEDICINE
COMING BACK.
COMING BACK. AND THINK ABOUT THE PRAYER ALONG
WITH THE DIET.
ALL OF THE VEGGIES AND FRUITS
NEED TO COME BACK.
GIVE YOUR BODY THAT BREAK SO IT
CAN USE THE SUGAR AND THE
INSULIN FOR REPAIR.
>> BUT IT SAYS NO ALCOHOL.
I DON'T KNOW IF DAVID DID THAT.
THE BLOOD INFUSIONS.
WE ARE LOOKING AT THIS AND IT IS
HITTING HEADLINES.
HITTING HEADLINES. IF YOU GET A BLOOD INFUSION FROM
A YOUNG PERSON THAT IT CAN MAKE
YOU FEEL YOUNG AGAIN.
>> I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ON
PLASMA INFUSIONS.
PLASMA INFUSIONS. WE WERE USING IT TO GROW BONE
AROUND TEETH AND BONE AROUND
IMPLANTS BUT WE WERE USING THE
SAME PATIENT'S PLATELETS.
THEY ARE THE MOST EFFICIENT TO
USE.
USE.
USE. I
USE. I DON'T THINK -- THERE ARE A LOT
OF ISSUES WITH USING SOMEONE
ELSE'S CELLS AND PLASMA.
I DON'T THINK THAT YOUNG
PLATELETS ARE JUST GOING TO BE
ANY BETTER THAN YOURS.
>> SO I HAVE TO GIVE THEM BACK?
>> WELL, YOU KNOW TO BE HONEST,
THERE IS SO MUCH RESEARCH BEHIND
THE ENTIRE REGENERATIVE FIELD.
YOU LOOK AT STEM CELLS,
UMBILICAL CORD CELLS, NOW THE
DISCUSSION IS ABOUT YOUNG
PLASMA.
PLASMA.
PLASMA. THINK ABOUT THE DIFFERENT
COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD THAT
ARE USING STEM CELLS AND IT IS
FDA APPROVED.
FDA APPROVED. YOU THINK WHO DOESN'T WANT ALL
OF THIS MEDICINE DONE?
DO YOU WANT TO HAVE A KNEE
SURGERY OR PRP, OR STEM CELLS?
I HAVE HAD PRP IN MY KNEE AND
IT'S GREAT.
IT'S GREAT. DO I WANT TO HAVE SURGERY?
NO.
NO.
NO. YOUNG
NO. YOUNG PLASMA IS A SIMILAR THING
COMING TO THE FOREFRONT NOW.
AND YES, IT HAS TO BE RESEARCHED
AND CLEANED, AND TESTED.
THERE ARE COMPANIES THAT ARE
REALLY TRYING TO BE AT THE
FOREFRONT OF THIS.
THERE IS A COMPANY CALLED NEW
PLASMA HERE IN TEXAS.
THEY ARE DOING STUDIES WITH
PARKINSON'S PATIENTS AND MS.
THEY ARE SEEING DRAMATIC
RESULTS.
RESULTS.
RESULTS. >> THEY ARE DOING RESTORATIVE
RATHER THAN MAKE ME FEEL YOUNG
AGAIN.
AGAIN.
AGAIN. >>
AGAIN. >> EXACTLY.
>> EXACTLY. IF YOU HAVE PATIENTS THAT HAVE
NO HOPE.
NO HOPE.
NO HOPE. AS YOU KNOW MY HUSBAND HAS ALS.
THERE IS NO HOPE.
BUT IF YOU HAVE COMPANIES TRYING
TO DO THE RESEARCH, BRINGING
HOPE WHERE THERE IS NONE, I
BELIEVE WE AS A COMMUNITY SHOULD
SUPPORT THAT SAFELY.
SAFETY AND EFFICACY IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING.
IMPORTANT THING. >> OKAY.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY. CALOTTICS, BEYONCE IS DOING IT
AND MAYBE I NEED TO DO IT.
PEOPLE SAY YOU GET ALL OF THE
CAKED ON FOOD LIKE WITH THE
THANKSGIVING DINNER.
THANKSGIVING DINNER. DO WE NEED TO DO THIS OR DOES
THE BODY DO WHAT IT NEEDS TO DO?
>> WE HAVE BEEN ON THIS EARTH
FOR A MILLION YEARS AND PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN EATING AND FLUSHING IT
ALL OUT.
ALL OUT.
ALL OUT. SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THAT
MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
BUT I GUESS IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL
BETTER.
BETTER.
BETTER. >> HAVE YOU EVER SEEN CAKED ON
FOOD FROM YEARS PAST?
>> NOT REALLY.
THEY
THEY ARE
THEY ARE SAYING IT CAN CLEAR UP YOUR SKIN, STRONGER IMMUNE
SYSTEM AND OTHER KINDS OF
BENEFITS.
BENEFITS.
BENEFITS. >> IT ALSO COSTS MONEY.
>> ALL RIGHT.
WHICH THEY HAVE PLENTY OF.
CHEMICALS IN DENTAL FLOSS.
WE HAVE TO LOOK FOR STUFF IN
EVERYTHING NOW.
EVERYTHING NOW. THEY ARE SAYING THEY TESTED 18
FLOSSES AND 6 HAD PFAS,
CHEMICALS FOUND IN CARPETS AND
WATER PROOFING.
WATER PROOFING. >> EXACTLY.
>> EXACTLY. YOU HAVE TO SEE THE BIG PICTURE.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF
FLOSSING VERSUS NOT FLOSSING.
WE WERE TALKING EARLIER ABOUT
STROKE.
STROKE.
STROKE. WELL, WE HAVE TWICE TO THREE
TIMES RISK OF GETTING A STROKE
WHEN YOU DON'T FLOSS VERSUS
FLOSSING.
FLOSSING.
FLOSSING. >> THERE IS A STRONG CONNECTION
BETWEEN THE THE MOUTH AND HEART
DISEASE.
DISEASE.
DISEASE. >> YOU HAVE A RESPONSE OF THE
WHOLE BODY WHEN YOU HAVE BAD
ORAL HEALTH.
ORAL HEALTH. SO TO LOOK BEYOND THAT AND SEE
WHICH PRODUCTS HAVE THAT.
THOSE CHEMICALS ARE PRESENT IN
OUR DAILY LIFE IN HIGHER
CONCENTRATIONS THAN FLOSS LIKE
NONSTICK COOK WARE, CARPET
CLEANERS AND CHEMICALS IN YOUR
TUPPERWARE.
TUPPERWARE. I DON'T THINK THAT GETTING ONE
PART PER MILLION IN A FLOSS WILL
AFFECT YOUR ORAL HEALTH.
I DON'T THINK THE MESSAGE SHOULD
BE STOP FLOSSING BECAUSE OF
THIS.
THIS.
THIS. >>
THIS. >> MY SON WAS LIKE, SEE MOM?
AND I SAID NO, YOU HAVE TO KEEP
GOING.
GOING.
GOING. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
RECAPTURING YOUR YOUTH IS NOT
ONLY ABOUT YOUR LOOKS BUT
FEELING BETTER.
FEELING BETTER. WE HAVE THE LARGEST MEDICAL
CENTER IN HOUSTON AND GUESS
WHAT?
WHAT?
WHAT? WE
WHAT? WE HAVE THE WORLD'S LARGEST
RODEO.
RODEO.
RODEO. KIMBERLEY DONE IS PERFORMING
TONIGHT AND SHE IS WITH US RIGHT
NOW SO TAKE US TO BREAK.
[ MUSIC ].
>> CAN'T TIE ME DOWN, I'LL BREAK
THE CHAINS.
THE CHAINS. ROCKING THE BOAT, FEELING
SCARED, DON'T IT, DROPPING A
