IS MORE TO THAT SOMEBODY MAY
THINK.

ATTITUDE CAN IN THE PACK TO
YOUR:BODY DEALS WITH THE
HEADLINES MAKING MEDICAL NEWS
AND HOT TOPICS.
ON OUR PANEL TODAY IS ON THIS
AND AESTHETICS SPECIALIST DR.
GINA.
GINA.
GINA. AND
GINA. AND DR. OF INTERNAL MEDICINE
DR. H MICHAEL OGBURN.
GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING, GREAT TO BE
HERE.
HERE.
HERE. >>
HERE. >> ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS IN
MEDICAL HEADLINES, JOHNSON &
JOHNSON BEING HELD FOR PART OF
THE OPIATE CRISIS IN THIS
COUNTRY.
COUNTRY.
COUNTRY. YOU WORK IN ADDICTION AND
RECOVERY.
RECOVERY.
RECOVERY. WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON ALL OF
THIS?
THIS?
THIS? >>
THIS? >> MY CONCERN IS ALL OF THIS
EMPHASIS ON THE OPIATE CRISIS
IS ACTUALLY AFFECTING
PHYSICIANS TREATING REAL PAIN.
THAT IS A PROBLEM.
A LOT OF PEOPLE, A LOT OF
PHYSICIANS ARE NOT AFRAID TO
WRITE OPIOID PRESCRIPTIONS.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO
MANAGE THE PAIN MEDICATION AND
THE RIGHT WAY FOR CHRONIC PAIN.
THE OTHER THING, TOO, A LOT OF
US WILL WE FEEL LIKE WE DON'T
KNOW WHAT TO DO ANY SITUATION,
WE FEEL LIKE IT CAN BE THAT ONE
THING.
THING.
THING. UNFORTUNATELY, THE CRISIS
ADDICTION IS SO MUCH WIDER.
HOPEFULLY, THAT JUDGMENT OF
THAT MONEY ENDS UP GOING
THROUGH CAN HELP END ADDICTION
RECOVERY.
RECOVERY.
RECOVERY. >> BECAUSE THE HELP IS SO
NEEDED.
NEEDED.
NEEDED. PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING WITH
DIFFERENT THINGS, PAIN BEING
ONE OF THEM, WHERE DO THEY GO.
THAT IS WHERE YOUR HAPPY THING
WILL COME UP.
WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT
IN THE SECOND.
>> THIS CASE REMINDS ME OF THE
WHOLE CIGARETTE AND TOBACCO
CASE YEARS AGO. WE SAW SMOKING
ACTUALLY DECLINE, ESPECIALLY
AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE.
BUT, NOW COMES VAPING.
AND YOU WILL HAVE KIDS THAT SAY
I DON'T SMOKE, I VAPE'.
>> WE HAVE TEENAGERS.
WE KNOW IT IS EVERYWHERE AND IN
EVERY SCHOOL OUT THERE.
THE WORST THING IS KIDS TODAY
AND ADULT FEEL LIKE VAPING IS
BENIGN, THEY THINK I AM NOT
SMOKING I'M JUST VAPING.
>> WHAT IS IN THERE?
>> WITH THE TOOL, WHICH IS VERY
POPULAR.
POPULAR.
POPULAR. >> IT HAS BECOME A VERB NOW,
DROOLING.
DROOLING.
DROOLING. >> IT IS NICOTINE.
IT IS NOT A BENIGN SUBSTANCE,
IT IS ONE OF THE MOST ADDICTIVE
SUBSTANCES OUT THERE.
NICOTINE HAS LONG-TERM EFFECTS
PARTICULARLY ON THE
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM.
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM. SCLEROSIS, IT IS WIDESPREAD.
>> ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE
LOOKING AT THE AGE.
KIDS ARE IN HIGH SCHOOL AND
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THEIR THOUGHT PROCESSES I AM
NOT DOING ANYTHING BAD BECAUSE
IT PANCAKE STRAWBERRY FLAVOR.
>> THAT'S THE POINT.
PANCAKE, STRAWBERRY, YOU ARE
ADDING ADDITIVES TO IT.
GOD KNOWS WHAT IS IN THOSE
ADDITIVES.
ADDITIVES. WHAT IS HE DOING TO THE LUNG
TISSUE ITSELF.
TISSUE ITSELF. AND THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED
POPCORN LUNG OR YOU HAVE
CONTAMINANTS IN THERE THAT
PRODUCES A CONDITION CALLED
BRONCHIOLITIS, WHERE IT SCARS
DOWN SMALL AIRWAYS.
>> A COUPLE WEEKS AGO A LOT OF
PEOPLE CAME IN PRESENTING AS
HAVING PNEUMONIA.
HAVING PNEUMONIA. THEY LOOKED IT WAS A PNEUMONIA.
WHAT WAS THE ONE COMMON
DENOMINATOR, IT WAS VAPING.
>> IT IS THE EDUCATION.
THEY NEED TO BE EDUCATED IT IS
JUST AS BAD IF NOT MUCH WORSE.
>> HERE IS ANOTHER THING THAT
KEEPS COMING UP, THE USE OF
FLUORIDE.
FLUORIDE.
FLUORIDE. WE KNOW IT COULD MAKE TEETH
STRONGER, BUT AT WHAT COST?
>> YOU LOOK AT THE RISKS AND
BENEFITS.
BENEFITS.
BENEFITS. WE LOOK AT SOME STUDIES THAT
LOOKED AT HIGH DOSES OF
FLUORIDE GIVEN TO PREGNANT
WOMEN, THE KIDS HAD LOWER IQS.
THE BABIES.
THE BABIES. SO, IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE
CORRELATION, THERE IS A
NEGATIVE CORRELATION.
NEGATIVE CORRELATION. THEN YOU LOOK AT METALS, ANY
KIND OF METALS, ANY KIND OF
TOXICITIES, WHEN YOU'RE REALLY
STUDYING DISEASES LIKE CANCERS,
CHRONIC DISEASES EVEN NARROW TO
DIFFERENT DISEASES, ALS FOR
EXAMPLE, THAT HAS BEEN STRONGLY
RELATED TO METALS, TOXINS, AND
ALL THE EXPOSURE THAT OUR
BODIES DON'T NEED THAT, AND OUR
BODIES TO PROCESS IT WELL.
>> IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS SO
BENIGN.
BENIGN.
BENIGN. WE READ IT AND TELL YOU TO KEEP
IT OUT OF THE REACH OF SMALL
CHILDREN.
CHILDREN.
CHILDREN. >> IT'S CALLED POISON CONTROL.
>> FLUORIDE IS A TOXIC
SUBSTANCE.
SUBSTANCE. LOW DOSES IT HELPS STRENGTHEN
THE ENAMEL OF THE TEETH.
IN HIGH DOSES, IT CAUSES
PROBLEMS WITH BONES IN GENERAL.
>> ALL RIGHT, WE STARTED OFF BY
TALKING ABOUT DON'T WORRY, BE
HAPPY.
HAPPY.
HAPPY. FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS, PEOPLE
TALKED ABOUT MIND OVER MATTER
AND IF YOU BELIEVE SOMETHING
WILL HAVE A POSITIVE OUTCOME,
IT WILL HAVE A POSITIVE OUTCOME.
YOU LOOK AT THIS MORE CLOSELY
IN RELATION TO ALS FOR EXAMPLE.
BY THE WAY YOUR HUSBAND IS
DEALING WITH IT.
>> WE AS A FAMILY HAVE BEEN
LOOKING AT IT REALLY FROM ALL
ANGLES FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.
ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING
THINGS WE FOUND, AND A LOT OF
ALS PATIENTS IN THE WORLD OF A-
LIST IS NOT KNOW THIS, THERE
HAS BEEN ABOUT 40 SOME REPORTED
AND CONFIRMED ALS REVERSAL CASES
. OUT OF DUKE UNIVERSITY, DR.
RICHARD LIKE HAS DONE RESEARCH
WHERE HE HAS CONFIRMED THESE
WERE ACTUAL DIAGNOSES.
WHAT WE HAVE DONE THIS LOOKED
AT ALL OF THOSE CASES AND
LOOKED AT WHAT ARE THE
COMMONALITIES.
COMMONALITIES. OF COURSE THERE ARE MANY
DIFFERENT FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
APPROACHES TAKEN, BUT ONE
COMMONALITY THAT WE FOUND THAT
WAS JUST BLEW US AWAY, AND THAT
WAS POSITIVE MINDSET, THE
BELIEF THAT THEY WILL HEAL, AND
I ALWAYS TELL MY PATIENTS, YOU
CAN ACCEPT THE DIAGNOSIS, BUT
YOU DON'T NEED TO ACCEPT THE
PROGNOSIS.
PROGNOSIS. HAVE THE BELIEVE THAT YOUR BODY
IS FULLY CAPABLE OF HEALING
ITSELF.
ITSELF.
ITSELF. AND THEN OF COURSE, THERE IS
THE DIVINE INTERVENTION AS
WELL.
WELL.
WELL. BUT, YOUR BODY WITH THE BELIEF,
BECAUSE YOUR MIND CAN TELL EACH
OF YOURSELVES AND YOUR BODIES
TO REALLY DO EXACTLY WHAT HE
WANTED TO DO.'S
>> I KNOW IT SOUNDS CRAZY.
EVERY NOW AND THEN WHEN I GET A
TOUCH OF ILLNESS, I WOULD TELL
MY BUDDY I DON'T HAVE TIME.
YOU HAVE TO CATCH UP WITH ME ON
MY DAY OFF.
I HAVE THINGS I HAVE TO DO, AND
DR. OGBORN, EVEN THAT WHOLE
POSITIVE THOUGHT PROCESS IS
USED IN RECOVERY MEDICINE,
BECAUSE WHEN YOU COME TO THAT
POINT WHERE YOU SAY I AM DONE,
I HAVE TO GET WELL, I WILL NO
LONGER BE DEFINED AS AN ADDICT,
BUT A POSITIVE ATTITUDE IS
CRITICAL.
CRITICAL.
CRITICAL. >> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. WE PUT OUR CLIENTS THROUGH
MINDFULNESS TRAINING. AND, THAT
IS SO IMPORTANT, BECAUSE THEY
HAVE ACTUALLY SHOWN THAT YOU CAN
CHANGE BRAIN CHEMISTR, AND
BRAIN ANATOMY WITH THESE
EPISODES OF MEDITATION. AND,
THEY HAVE SEEN THAT IN MONKS,
WHO MEDITATE HOURS FOR YEARS.
BUT, IT DOES NOT TAKE YEARS OF
MEDITATION. IT CAN BE JUST
SHORT INTERVALS DONE
FREQUENTLY.
FREQUENTLY. >> 30 MINUTES A DAY.
THAT IS THE RESEARCH.
>> WE WILL GO OUT TO SURRENDER
THE LIGHT RECOVERY.
WE ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO GO OUT
THERE.
THERE.
THERE. IT
THERE. IT WAS SUCH A PEACEFUL PLACE, I
CAN TOTALLY SEE WHY PEOPLE WILL
GO THERE AND COME OUT FEELING
COLD.
COLD.
COLD. ALL
COLD. ALL RIGHT, WE ARE GOING TO WRAP
UP WITH YOUR FOUNDATION.
>> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. ALS EUROS.COM, IT IS OUR
FOUNDATION WE HAVE CREATED,
WHERE WE ARE DOING WORK TO
SPREAD AWARENESS, TO GIVE HOPE,
TO DO THE RESEARCH WE NEED, TO
FIND A CURE. AS WE KNOW, ALS
HAS BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 80
YEARS, AND WE DO NOT HAVE ANY
GOOD TREATMENTS OR CURE.
WE ALWAYS SAY IT IS NOT IN
UNTREATABLE DISEASE, IT IS
UNDERFUNDED AND MISUNDERSTOOD
DISEASE.
DISEASE.
DISEASE. WE ARE TRYING TO CHANGE ALL OF
THAT DEBORAH.
THAT DEBORAH. AND, ANYBODY WHO WOULD
