Bill Clearfield 01:04
Hello. Hi, David. Hi, it’s Dr. Bill so um, I shouldn’t be on but sometimes it connects me to the wrong channel so could you try signing on? Well, yeah, I mean I just
01:19
let me try it just just go around around so it was for a while, but I’ll try again. It’s a generic one, right? It’s not like for specific posts, or is it the typical guest?
01:33
Yeah. Okay. Hitting it now. Gonna hold on while I wait for it to.
Bill Clearfield 01:40
Okay. All right, so So my sidekicks on so we should be on the right one. Yep, there you go. Okay, we got you. Got it. Okay, thank you, sir.
01:59
Can you hear me be able to hear me
02:10
Yeah, I can hear you. Okay. Okay. Thank you.
02:14
Okay. Hello, everyone. Okay, let’s see. No. Lights on.
02:23
So, hi, hi. Hi.
Bill Clearfield 02:27
You’re probably way more sophisticated with this stuff than we are. So
02:35
I got the impression you’ve been doing this for a while.
Bill Clearfield 02:38
Okay. No sound
02:41
no sound.
Bill Clearfield 02:43
Still have no sound you can hear me Yep.
02:56
How about now?
Bill Clearfield 02:58
No. Oh, wait. Hang on. It’s me. It’s not you. It’s me. Right. Yeah. There you go. Well, was he always me?
03:08
Okay, that’s good. That’s good to know. Yeah, good to know. Um, well, the problem was,
Bill Clearfield 03:14
I usually am there. So we’ve only been doing for three years every Tuesday. For three years. You think I’d have it down by now. So thank you for being coming on. We’re most honored. And I hope we get a good crowd a nice crowd for you.
03:36
Well, thank you for having me. Okay.
Bill Clearfield 03:40
So okay, so most folks sign one right around five ish, or where are you in Baltimore? Baltimore. Yeah. So it’d be you know, the eight o’clock your time. And yeah, most most folks sign on right about then and we’ve had people show up as long as late as 530 Quarter to six or you know, our time so where are you? We’re in Reno, Nevada.
04:08
Oh, okay. Well, you had one time you live in Pittsburgh?
Bill Clearfield 04:14
Well, I grew up in Philadelphia and I was in Wilkes Barre for 30 years. We’ve been we’ve been both been a Baltimore quite a few times. So.
04:25
Okay. Yeah, I’ve just been here two is going on. Three years now. I’ve been in Baltimore. Okay. So I told him I got stuck here during the Cold COVID-19 fiasco.
Bill Clearfield 04:37
I hear you’re like quite the quite the item in Africa though.
04:42
Well, that’s what they say.
Bill Clearfield 04:48
So I spent nine months in Kenya so I have a little familiarity.
04:54
Oh, you did? Okay. That’s East Africa. What did you there?
Bill Clearfield 04:58
I was. I did everything. I was at the Super District Hospital in Western Kenya for nine months and was just one of those things that sort of happened and I just did about everything. So and it was quite a bit different experience from here. So So I bet for stayed here. So they had I guess he was an intern or whatever. And he says to me, we had a man he was about 50, which is old there as you know, he was at heart failure. And they said he said well, we give them the diuretic for three days. And then then when we stopped the fills back up again. And I said, Well, why do you stop it? And he says, Well, he gets neuropathy. I said, Well, you got to give him potassium. He goes we don’t have it. And it was like, What do you mean? So you go to the dollar store here. So yeah, we learned quite a we learned quite a bit. We learned how to do well. I have an acupuncture background. So I learned okay, I learned to lean on my pulse and tongue diagnosis. And looking at the light colors under the eyes. Yeah. They had a color counter there but it didn’t work. And an x ray machine there that was unshielded and I think it was called I think it was the original Marie Curie. It was I was I told him I don’t turn that thing on. And you know,
06:48
this was put up at least 50 kilometers between me and that thing, right? Exactly.
Bill Clearfield 06:55
It was, it was quite the experience. So
06:57
oh my god. Yeah, I can imagine. Hey, you want to check because I’m gonna show slides. You want to just check real quick. Let’s just go ahead and just see if it works. So do I have permission to share my screen? You should be able to do it. Okay, good. Yeah, tell me why you say it.
Bill Clearfield 07:19
I say it. Boom. Okay, good. To handle live into Oh, there you go
07:30
perfect. How much how much time do I have?
Bill Clearfield 07:32
You know, we usually do an hour an hour and a half. It depends on that right now doctor a lot you know, Dr. Hall Lhasa. He’s not he’s, I don’t even usually extends it by an hour. He likes to talk. So
07:45
what does he What does he talk about? Anything? Just,
Bill Clearfield 07:51
he just talks. So an hour, an hour and a half. We will get questions in the chat. I’ll collect them and we usually do them at the end. We can get you the participant list. So anybody who, if you want to if you want to get in touch with anybody, and or they want to get in touch with you, I can send you an email list of all the participants at the end. Okay, okay.
08:23
That’s very the first time the first one I am meeting was actually does does that most people are very protective.
Bill Clearfield 08:32
Well, you know, sometimes they have we have offers, you know, sometimes we have products they want to offer with some discounts, maybe or I don’t know, if you have any courses or books or you know, whatever, whatever you have. We’re, we’re good about, you know, we’re good about sharing. So we like having you on having folks on there, you know. And so we try to, you know, make it a little bit worth your while and we’re not seeing me so so you can talk about any any products you have any courses and whatever whatever it is that you do, you you know you have I hope you don’t mind that I since it was on your website for free i i put a link to the or dementia little ebook that you have.
09:22
Thank you very much. Yeah.
Bill Clearfield 09:26
I usually put a little video or and then I don’t know if you got it or not, you know, your bio and all which is you know, really, you know, quite quite impressive. So, we put that in there too. So I don’t know if any of you folks read it, but if you didn’t, you should. Okay, so. So we got a couple more minutes and we usually get anywhere from 20 to 40. It’s I don’t know if Halloween is going to hold us back a little bit
09:57
but oh yeah, that’s right.
Bill Clearfield 10:01
So I actually even thought about calling you and telling you make it make it a different night because we’re want to make sure that you’re you know you’re well attended but we’ll be fine. We’ll be good. Okay, and I was reading through some of your some of your information, so we’re going to probably be annoying you more than once, so
10:24
that’s fine. Oh, absolutely. I love I love to share and always was welcomed the opportunity to do so so they’ll be great.
Bill Clearfield 10:35
Okay, so it’s almost five and and so, so. So welcome, everybody. Thank you for all being here. I know it’s Halloween and, and Fred you’d rather be out trick or treating than than being here, but hang in there. It’s still it’s still early out here. Anyway, so we’re really honored tonight we have Dr. David Jaffe, the chief antibody body, okay. Who is unbelievably credentialed and has a wide variety of skill skills. And he’s, he’s going to tell you about himself with you know, just looking through his website looking through his the information that I got, you know about you, when it’s going to be a real treat, listening to David here. He hosts what’s the name of the the TV show
11:48
your health in your hands, your health in
Bill Clearfield 11:51
your hands, which is, which apparently is the number one watched health show in all of Africa. And he’s in Baltimore. Maryland. So I’m not sure how that
12:03
technology is all the technology works. But
Bill Clearfield 12:08
you know, we’re lucky if we get get get the get the talk at the crawl across the street at that one of the one of the local local conferences here so, so, so David, I’m gonna let you introduce yourself and we’ll bow out anybody has any questions, of course, put it in the chat. And we’ll, we’ll bring them up, you know, at the end, so, if that’s okay. I mean, if you’d like questions during during your during your talk, that’s okay, too. And so the floor is yours. Please introduce yourself, let us let them know. So and I want to thank Dr. Bourne, who can never be here at this time. So Todd borns has been on with us many times. But he’s busy with his many children now at this at this hour. So. So he’s the one who introduced me to David and it’s a real honor to have you sir. So please take it away.
13:04
Okay. Well, thank you so much, Dr. Bill. I appreciate this great honor. And hello, everyone. My name is Dr. David edubirdie. Call me David. I am from Nigeria. I run a foundation called the brain and body foundation. I am a medical doctor by my practice, and I still run. I still practice believe it. Believe it or not, I I run a foundation and my colleague from Baltimore way and I also consults obviously I’m not licensed in the US so I am very careful. I do help people. I do some health coaching. And I also kind of give direction but all with the understanding. I usually have a science disclosure saying you understand disclaimer saying that Eunice? No medical practitioner, it basically the US. Having said that most of what I’ve learned about the human brain and the human mind and human body has come outside of clinical training and clinical practice. Surprise, surprise, right. Well, I actually didn’t went on a 10 year, I would say 10 year hiatus. I traveled around extensively in the US for about 10 years. And just learning and soaking in some of the best practices on the breath discoveries. Most of them obviously natural things that we could take and use and apply in third world countries. Countries where there are low resource, very low access to hospitals. Um, just a quick example, over 70% of all deliveries are done. outside the hospital, so in churches and mosques at home, so you can imagine there’s a lot of risk. There’s a lot, there’s a high likelihood for something good, something going wrong, and a lot does go wrong. So we started a foundation to address first of all kids with cerebral policy, brain disorders, seizure disorders, and so on and so forth. After a period of time we began to find out or people began to find find out about us and people with adults with strokes and dementia started approaching us. Obviously, we did all of this under the supervision of the government, everything we found that normally we do and we discovered, and again, it was an iterative process. We were asked, we will learn we’ll try this approach. We’ll see the results we’ll document it and take it to the government’s ask for their permission to use it in this particular group group of people and everything we did was nutraceuticals or nutrients, supplements. We never use anything medical, any drugs at all, because basically, you’re basically inviting disaster if you want to start using the medications, brain medications in rural areas where there aren’t enough medical supports to kind of take care of a complication. It’s just in case they happen. So we had to learn how to use the most basic tools with what nutrients we learned a lot that I’m going to share my slides in a minute. We learned a lot from this process because one of the things we learned more than anything is that the human body and the human brain has has the ability to heal itself. If given the right tools, and we started doing that, I like I said we started a foundation that was reached that would work with kids first and then eventually we migrate we obviously kind of included adults, we then switch but included adults as well with dementia. And in the process too. We started working with sickle cell disease and also because obviously as most of you who are white or Caucasian may not know much about it, but sickle cell disease is a killer in Nigeria has the most number of black people on the planet. So sickle cell disease is primarily a black person’s problem. Most kids die by the age of five, and we’re talking about over 100,000 each year. And so to me was just unacceptable. We basically so when they started coming to us with strokes, that’s a big complication with sickle cell disease. is I come to us with strokes and we started looking into it or we found out that we if we applied first principles, that’s a term Elon Musk has made very famous now but we’ve been using it we’ve been thinking in that way for everything we do. When we started thinking, what are the basic fundamental problems here? Yes, it is a genetic problem. Yes, it is a blood disorder. But how does that manifest? What are the different ways in which it manifests? So we basically did a lot of research and then thinking and studying and eventually found out that simple things like strengthening the immune system could have go a long way. So we started doing that and I started teaching other people to do it and we had a eventually we had, I hope, okay, let’s see, I need to, I need to make this whole school screen. Okay, that’s what’s going on. Great. Yeah, so this is we started getting the kids in the early 20s started hearing about us always. And then they came volunteering, and these are, these are some of them here. Some of our stuff as well, but most of them are in their mid 20s. And they just wasted we taught them how to basically use these nutrients obviously give them strict parameters to use and then they started seeing amazing results. So we have say having free clinics all over the country, and just teaching these kids what they need to do to help these other kids. And lo and behold, they’re seeing some amazing, amazing results. Most kids with sickle cell disease, have crises there once a week once a month. They are unable to go to work, they’re unable to go to school, they’re unable to do anything. They just suffer throughout their lives until they get to the age of five they die. If they’re lucky enough or lucky they live past five but most of them will die by the age of 30. The ones who survive past age of five and I’m talking about 50 to 75% die by that age. Now we are changing that. So we’re seeing that we’re we’re taking this government to for help, not to ask them to change their policy towards treating sickle cell disease because right now, clearly is inadequate and we have found out solutions and basic solutions. I’m talking about things like simple as vitamin D, vitamin C, and zinc. These are the three things you’ve probably heard about. Especially during COVID-19. So I’m saying all that to say that we can’t lose sight of the first principles we can’t lose sight of the basic fundamentals even if it comes to something as complex as dementia are we talking about? diminishers Dirty Dozen. But is there still basic fundamental things that govern everything? Everything? It doesn’t matter how big it is? All complexities There are basic basic facts and I fear that in the Western world and in the US in particular, where we seem to be going to the highfalutin they are complex that technologically advanced, and that’s fine, as long as you take the basics along with it because the basics will always, always important. Whatever you’re doing, whether it’s removing a brain tumor, or whether it’s changing a sex, that’s possible, or whatever, you’re doing the fundamentals while the fundamentals are absolutely vital. So here’s a quick outline. Just today about my introduction about backgrounds. We’ll be talking about dementia, and then we’ll be talking about Alzheimer’s disease. Dementia is Dirty Dozen. I came up with it. For my work with the Alzheimer’s Association. I volunteer with the Alzheimer’s Association. And especially I read I approached them because I said the black people like dark skinned people like me, we have a much higher risk of having dementia and I don’t see much being spoken about with regards to that. First of all, why are we having such higher risks, higher rates of dementia? What can be done about it? Why don’t you identify these things? And so it’s also become a personal interest and passion of mine to address this because as countries like Nigeria and Dr. Bill was mentioning, Kenya, Nigeria, 50 years advanced, advanced age, the average lifespan is 53, Nigeria so it’s probably high in Kenya. But it’s with increasing improved access to medical care. That’s numbers rise into the 60s and 70s. And if nothing is done, we’re going to be seeing a huge number of dementia huge rates of dementia in those countries, and we just don’t have the infrastructure to take care of that. So we need to again focus on the fundamentals. I have a picture of Bob Hope here. And I’ll tell you why in a minute. But as you know, he used to travel around the world to the troops. And once in a while he would have this beautiful young lady scantily clad Walker up and down the stage, how to do a few pivot turns a few poses and he says take good, take a good look boys. Just remember, this is what you’re fighting for.
22:09
And of course the young kids 1718 year old soldiers would scream they’ll be so excited testosterone oozing out of every pore. Of course it was a job they are fighting for their nation. But when it comes to dementia, I feel it’s really important that we understand what we are fighting to avoid. You cannot take a passive approach towards dementia. There are so many especially I like to talk to younger people about this do it from your 40s if not before then your 40s you got to start thinking about your brain. All the stuff you are doing as a kid, it’s over. It’s over. You got it you got to start focusing on understanding what it takes to protect your brain. So on the left side, you see a healthy brain. Obviously on the right side you see diseased Alzheimer’s, Alzheimer’s ridden ridden brain over 30% of the brain would have shrunk way by the time you have Alzheimer’s disease at the time of death. In old age with with age, it’s about 10% of the brain eventually shrinks when you get into 80s and 90s. But in Alzheimer’s disease obviously is a lot more. That is a lot 30% is a lot of brain tissue box. That is our lot and you can see why people the brain tries to compensate. It tries to avoid come and we’ll talk about a little bit more but it just by the time you lose that much brain tissue. That’s a big problem. Just want to put up this this information. The Alzheimer’s Association is doing a great work. So you can I mean they’re not perfect. But you can call them they have a 24 hour hotline. You can call them we’ll ask them about anything whether it’s for legal aid or whether it’s for supports or just directions on on tools and materials. And they have volunteers who speak all over the country to educate groups around the country on dementia so please take advantage. That’s the phone number and that’s the website address. I want to point out that it’s not just about memory loss, it’s a brain failure and I really hate it when you have this memory care facilities because it’s you can have dementia or not have memory loss. It’s it’s more than that. It’s like I said brain failure. Everything from thinking to come to processing speed stative ability to recognize objects, even physical, physical effects, by way of balance, sleep problems and so on and so forth. Yes, memory is what most people focus on but it’s not just about memory. He has a picture here that shows that remember, dementia is is a whole conglomeration of different different types, but Alzheimer’s disease is the most common so we’re going to be focused on that. For the most part. Let’s talk about definitions. A little bit. I think it’s very important that the clearer you are about what a thing is, the more you would be in my opinion, you’d be more prone to address or to avoid the thing but if you’re if it’s vague, it was just this spooky, nebulous thing that just jumps on you or that’s you that never know whether it’s going to affect you or not. It leaves you powerless in my opinion, but if you’re clear about what a thing is, I think it’s much much more helpful. So the definition we’ve had of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease has, in my opinion, been disempowering. So it’s basically a problem and other disease of the brain that is characterized by proteins, the amyloid plaques and tau tangles that appear on the brain, and eventually, they chalk out the neurons, the brain cells and the synapses and eventually the individual dies from the spread of the proteins and the tau tangles and so on, and so forth. And so how do those proteins are paired? How do we stop them from appearing? Leave it to us, the experts say the experts say Leave it to us with we’re working on it. We’re going to come up with a drug and eventually the drug is going to take away the tau tangles on the amyloid plaques and there you’ll be okay. But it’s going to take a while it’s going to take billions and billions and billions of dollars. When we’re ready, when we’ve gotten the right drug is going to work and everybody’s going to be happy. Well, the problem is, there’s a lot of problem with that, in my opinion. First of all, we in Africa can’t wait that long and also it’s very expensive. And another thing, it’s not all about the amyloid plaques. So let’s look at the new new new paradigm. And again, this one the the this is the best definition I found. Alzheimer’s is a degenerative brain disease that is caused by complex brain changes. Following cell damage, it leads to dementia symptoms are gradually worsened over time. Now this is a little more clarifying. One we know that see to see the next picture now. Let’s see. Why don’t we we know that damage to the cells has something to do with it. Number two, we know that the brain is trying to compensate by trying to deal with this damage. Number three, sometimes it’s fails at doing that and so there’s degeneration and gradual destruction, which results in symptoms that are progressive or that are worsening. So today the person may not just remember just remember two days ago, tomorrow he may not be able to find his way home from the office. Other times he may be not be able to balance his checkbook or not recognize his spouse, and so on and so forth. So it’s progressive. Unfortunately, the average from diagnosis to death is about 10 years and in between that in that ensuing period, there’s a lot of pain and heartache for the individual and for the members of the family. But we just want to quickly mention here that neurons are not the only cells that are damaged neurons only make up about 10% of all the cells in the brain, believe it or not. And over 50% of the of the of the neurons are in the cerebellum by the way, the cerebellum is the part of the body of the brain that is associated with balance and a few other things. But they’re not the only problem. So let’s look at really what happens I’m not going to read this all but when I say studying this, I was like wow, this so much going on in the brain in a place of presence with Alzheimer’s dementia. Why are we just focused on the plaques? We’re seeing all kinds of problems, glucose metabolism, there’s oxidative stress, there are problems with vitamin b1. There are problems with cog acetylcholine, calcium problems and just a whole bunch of stuff just reminds me of that. I don’t know if this applies. But the end game scene in the scene in endgame the Avengers movie where there’s wanton total destruction, this is kind of like what it reminds me of. On unfortunately, again, we’re not looking at all these things. Also, this movie, it also reminds me of this movie that one if you ask us everything, I don’t think it deserved those Oscars. That’s beside the point. But I don’t think all the Oscars but it was an interesting title on the title of the movie says everything everywhere all at once. And that’s really what I see with the brain. There’s a lot of things happening, a lot of things going on. And if we if we’re able to pass and and and that’s really what’s happening in many research centers. So in the bid to address dementia, they are looking at individual things. So there’s the I understand concerning timing, which is vitamin b1, there was a $14 million grant given just to research on vitamin b1, and dementia. So a lot of things going on. So let’s let’s get on to what’s causing the damage. So we’ll talk about that there’s damaged, there’s cellular change, then there is what to call it now. complex brain changes and so on and so forth. But what’s causing it? What is it what is causing the damage, because if we understand what’s causing the damage, then we’ll be able to be more prone or more apt to understand how to prevent the damage and if the damage does occur,
31:07
we will should be more apt to fix the damage as quickly as it as quickly as possible, rather than let it stay and fester. But if all we think about is the plaques appearing, and eventually the plaques are going to kill us, and then again it leaves leaves us disempowered so it’s important for us to understand where the damage what is causing the damage and in my opinion, the more damage can occur. There must be attacks so attacks first, then damage then complex brain changes. So we’re setting the stage for the dementias Dirty Dozen and I came up with this again after research after I do several speeches and with senior centers. I interact with seniors a lot. I get it. It’s great to hear back. Gus it’s one thing to give out information. It’s another thing to find out how that information is landing. And many times we assumed that we were saying one thing meanwhile, the person receiving it might be hearing something entirely different. So I’ve learned a lot from working with with the Alzheimer’s Association and with the Baltimore health department’s Department of Aging. And so again, this feedback has been instrumental in my coming up with this measures Dirty Dozen as you can see, they all start with that letter i i tried to finagle a few things to make sure they fit in the letter i But let’s get on with it. So number one is illnesses. You probably have heard about cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes, especially prolonged hypotension, or uncontrolled hypertension, prolonged diabetes can both influence cause damage to the brain over a period of time. We’re now beginning to understand exactly how. With hypertension, we’re seeing that it’s not just damage to the blood vessels in the brain, but also there’s damage to the blood brain barrier and the leakage of certain proteins that trigger a complex chain of reactions that eventually can cause dementia. Diabetes, obviously high blood sugar is a problem. And high blood sugar has all kinds of damage effects. It also affects It mainly affects the hippocampus, which is the memory center the memory processing center. It seems like the hippocampus is affected a lot. One reason for that is that is high as a very highly metabolic part of the brain is also very, very, very sensitive to chemical changes. Obviously sugar is a chemical change. I’m going to just breeze through these because they’re about 12 of them. I want to be careful not to go over time. So they have it. So I mentioned cardiovascular disease, obviously, psychiatric mental health conditions prolonged depression can be damaging to the brain. There’s a quote that says depression first of all names the mind then it kills the body. Depression, the names the minds and kills the body. Another quote says that the happiness that they are the opposite of not depression. The the opposite of depression is not happiness. The opposite of depression is vitality. Because depression sucks out the lifeforce, the energy, the things that make life worth living, neurological conditions, okay, we now are beginning to find out that hearing loss untreated hearing loss can lead to dementia has nothing you probably haven’t heard of. Untreated smell, loss of smell cannot. They’re now associating that with progression to dementia. As a matter of fact, COVID-19 they’ve seen a lot more cases with dementia after this. The President said he said the pandemic is over. So under this pandemic, we’re beginning to see a lot more cases of people who had smell loss of smell. They’re not connecting that they’re now seeing that progress more rapidly to dementia. So we are in a lot of trouble. I tell you folks, a lot of things going on. Alright, injury, that’s pretty straightforward. If there’s damage to the brain, from whatever, whether there’s a blunt injury, direct impacts or blast injuries, which is what happens especially when you’re in the military and serving on foreign law, serving in the in the battlefront your hand this these blast injuries, believe it or not can cause injury and eventually dementia. The other things that make soldiers more prone to dementia probably get into that are soldiers I met veterans. So the other thing insults so we’ve talked about illnesses in less injury and insults, toxins, we are in high tech world, a lot of things going on from everything from our phones, to microwaves to TVs to computers and so on. We are bombarded by all kinds of all kinds of toxic radiation and toxic fumes and so on and so forth. Obviously drinking can cause a problem with dementia. fillings, teeth fillings, I’m hoping that we’re trying to stop the mercury fillings using mercury fillings. I hope they’ve been I hope there’ll be successful at that. Another thing is imbalances. One of the top things that we found out and there could be all kinds of things. Dr. Bill mentioned that he got the link for my book has a lot to do with the hormones. One of the one of the reasons they are pointing they’re saying women have twice as high as higher risk as as men aside from having of having dementia is that drop in estrogen estrogen levels. Also progesterone levels are dropped as well. When we find out that estrogen is probably the most important hormone for the brain. It has a slew of protective influences on the neurons and the synapses. So once that protective was the levels of estrogen begin to drop. You see the effects and some of some some of you ladies may have experienced it during menopause. But that’s one of the things that also balances be to imbalance between copper and zinc has a balance that needs reserved glutathione and Mercury, the balance between between excuse me, omega threes and Omega sixes. Again, those balances are off our way off in our diets. We have much more omega six which is inflammatory, I suppose omega threes which are anti inflammatories. So I one of the things that we do with our foundation is address that imbalance and and find ways to help the body make more of the nutrients it is lacking. And the body knows how to for the most part the body knows how to put that balance back in place. So if you rather than given the finished products, we give the raw materials to the brain so the brain can click the button for the balance back in place. Also, there’s the imbalances between the x and the excitatory neurotransmitters and
38:46
inhibitory or the non excitatory neurotransmitters you’ve probably heard that dementia is also called type three, type two diabetes type three and I don’t like that term. Because when one when people hear about type three diabetes, they think only about sugar. But what we’re finding out is that insulin resistance is not just about the inability to control or to modulate or to keep sugar levels low. It’s we’re finding out that insulin the hormone is vital for the protection of the synapses and also in the regulation of energy in the brain. So once a person is resistant to insulin resistance, he is not only it’s not only resistance is not only resistant to the influence of insulin on blood sugar, but it’s also resistant to all the other beneficial effects of insulin on the brain. And you can check that your suddenly do some more research on that. But it is fascinating what insulin does with the brain. So that’s one thing and some people some researchers actually use an instrument as a treatment, intranasal insulin as a treatment for dementia. Another one is intestinal dysfunction or indigestion we all have major problems with indigestion almost. The numbers are staggering. And so go to the doctor they give you a pill for heartburn or for they give me anti anti acids. They give drugs but constipation but we’re finding out that the use of things as simple as acid reflux medications are linked to higher risk of dementia. Among the things that it does is that it’s I mean, reduced artificially reducing your stomach acid which is already already low in older people. is a big problem because it affects the absorption of certain vital nutrients. I mean, this is just one example. Sending vital vital nutrients like vitamin B 12. Low vitamin B 12 is also linked to demand dementia as well. So you want to find someone who can help you restore digestive health as a whole rather than just addressing one aspect of it. Infections. Again, I mentioned COVID-19 being really big into into to to dementia. We also seen that there are other viruses too that are related to dementia. The brain is not as sterile as we used to think. We’re now beginning to see the microbiome of the brain, the whole the whole slew of different bugs and viruses in the brain that affect the brain and that can be very toxic to the brain, given the right or the wrong circumstances. No specified or unspecified virus of unknown origin. I had a giggle I caught. I chuckled on this one when I heard this whole and say because Allah TV show he was we talked about some of the natural things to do to help boost your immune system and to avoid avoid, at least to protect against COVID-19 and YouTube, YouTube gave us a strike. And remember there are three strikes against you. They give us a strike just because we’re talking about alternatives. Can you imagine that alternatives that you could use and in Nigeria, we didn’t have access to the remdesivir or the vaccines at that time. We didn’t have any of those things. So we’re talking about what we can do based on what is available and see yet YouTube attacked us. Can you imagine that? Alright, so with infections like big thing, we’re now finding out that probably you’re already noticed as well. I mean, if you have a toothache, if you have gum disease, tooth infection if your teeth bleed easily, there are certain bacteria in the tooth that can easily get into the bloodstream get to the brain and cause inflammation in the brain and eventually with inflammation. persistent inflammation in the brain can lead to dementia. That’s one of the pathways to damage. Alright, so so far we’ve been talking about the things that damage the causes of damage to the brain or the attacks to the brain. And we’re gonna switch, switch lanes of beds, hope that’s the right expression. We’re going to switch lanes a bit and we’re going to talk about the things that need to be done or the things the things that protect your brain that if are not available. Or if they are not in place can lead to damage and there are about four of them. First of all is inactivity. This is probably one of the most researched aspects, physical active, inactive physical exercise, especially strength train training. More important for those of us over 50 earlier than that aerobic training, yes, but physical, physical strength training the building of muscle. I’m not talking about the Arnold Schwarzenegger type of muscle, but you need to be strong. I mean of these high end retirement centers, retirement homes, they are now bringing in professional trainers to work with the seniors and their elderly people. They’re to strengthen their muscles strengthen their ability to balance their balance. So that’s because they now know that that just physical strength translates to mental resilience and mental strength and protection from Alzheimer’s disease. So that’s really, really important. Also, inactivity applies also to mental inactivity. We know that people will stay active while learning new things while it may be traveling, who’s having their brains constantly challenged, and stimulated by knowledge or information or their work while reading Who are you know, I’m talking about playing Scrabble or bingo or whatever. The other ones who seem to have greater protection, I think comes from the building of synapses and can network the network connection, so we’re gonna get into that a bit more. But in activities, activities is super important. So you have the few older ladies exercising. All right next one. insufficiencies inadequacies. Yeah, I probably should have used the word deficiency but that will mess Romans mess minor stuff. That’s not an eye it has to start with an eye so insufficiencies is going to have to work or inadequacies and by this I’m referring mainly to nutrients deficiencies, but it’s more than more is more than just nutrient deficiencies, for instance. Now, obviously, the brain needs a lot of oxygen, the brain needs a lot of energy. Over 20% of the blood flow goes to the brain first. After the heart, so priority is to the brain 20% of the oxygen of the oxygen 20% of the nutrients and energy supply goes to the brain so as you know, the brain is super super it’s it’s it really needs a lot of a lot of nutrients. Oxygen is important. Water is important the brain has I think it’s 80% of the brain has been of water. So fix things simple things like dehydration, simple things like again, depression, you know, you’re not taking enough oxygen so you’re not filling your lungs enough. Your brain isn’t getting enough oxygen. That’s why hyperbaric oxygen, oxygen chambers works so well. But the ones that are really, really, really, really I emphasize especially because I’m black, obviously. The ones I really, really emphasize I’m gonna get to them in a minute. But there are seven that I feel you need to have. And I’m thinking about this around the world. Now. These are simple things. Dr. Bill was talking about potassium, and he was surprised that he couldn’t find potassium in Kenya in a clinic in Kenya. Well it’s just it’s hot. Is is just as bad in Nigeria, if not worse. And what we’re finding out is that black people are deficient in potassium, more deficient in potassium. White people are big one here is vitamin d3. That’s really the big one. That’s why I put it number one. I’m going to show you a few slides in a few minutes. But vitamin d3, super important for the brain. If you notice, I haven’t I didn’t mention omega threes. Omega threes should be here but from what they are, because I’m thinking about supplements now. To make a good Omega three supplements. involves lots, lots of purification, a lot of just getting it right, I would say over 95% of the Omega threes use and you’re finding this on the shelves. Simply don’t do what they’re meant to do. I use a specific brand called Dr. Barry Sears, you probably heard about him in Moldova heroes he probably donated has donated more to our foundation than any other person. And so magazines are important, but it’s only prudent here because it’s just that hard to get really good Omega three supplements, especially in places like Africa. These, on the other hand, are relatively cheaper and relatively available. If you’re looking for them. Obviously I buy them here and I shipped them to Nigeria. So these are seven I can’t go into why they’re important, but trust me, they’re good. They’re all very, very important. Let’s talk about vitamin d3. We know we black people are the most deficient in vitamin d3 on the planet, unfortunately.
48:47
But the results have been deficient in vitamin d3. US stunning. Alright, vitamin d3. Just that one vitamin I really I hate the term vitamin because it’s not a vitamin. It offers 40% protection against dementia. This research that they’ve done in recently done in Ireland and I think a few European countries. It also protects you from developing full blown diabetes. Here are some of the relevant revelations. We know that there are receptors for vitamin D throughout the central nervous system and in the hippocampus. It is involved in neurotransmitter synthesis, and no of grace. I can’t read what it said here. So you have a staple Okay. In addition, vitamin D protects neurons and reduces inflammation. Here’s another thing I’m not going to read all this much for those. So they tested on mice. And I think there was a study doing some studies on humans as well. There was a stuck reduction in the number and strength of connections between neurons in the hippocampus. For those who did not have upper levels of vitamin D. The scientists found that the lower the subjects, this is important folks, the scientists found that the lower the subjects vitamin D levels, the more negatively impacted was their performance on a battery of mental tests. Compared with the people with optimum vitamin d3 levels, those in the lowest quartile were more than twice as likely to be cognitive impaired. And he goes on and on and on. Stunning, absolutely stunning. Why isn’t everybody talking about this? Why I mean, if it’s truly want to end Alzheimer’s disease, and it’s it’s in the office here in Baltimore, they have this big sign saying we dream of a time in which there’s no more Alzheimer’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease is going to end well. Why aren’t we talking about this? And even when I talk about it, I sometimes I have to be careful, because it’s like, Ooh, what are you talking about? I don’t get it. Alright, next one is insomnia. It’s not just not being able to sleep. But again, we have to, we had to use the one that had the letter eyes so we got to work with letter I. It also applies to things like sleep apnea, to maybe getting up nicely and falling asleep easily but getting up at night, maybe at two o’clock, three o’clock in the morning, or those who have late sleep. And then with sleep test, they can now see that even those who feel that they’ve had like a good seven, eight hours, hours of sleep, when they do the sleep as they find out that the quality of the sleep was really really low. They didn’t do enough REM sleep, they didn’t have enough deep sleep, they didn’t have REM and non REM sleep. And then back to vitamin D we’re finding out that vitamin D Hyla higher levels of vitamin D in the blood in the blood. vitamin D helps you shifts through those different stages of sleep. It’s like a cycle is like a car driving a car you get one get to get three, get four and then you slow down you go back to get one is vitamin D vitamin D is the shifter of sleep in the brain. And if your sleep if your vitamin D is lacking, your sleep too, is going to be lagging but it’s not just all about vitamin D. There are other things that you need to do. And what we’re finding out is that before dementia full blown dementia shows up for a while people sleep had been adversely affected. So that’s one of the signs that can lead to dementia is that really, I’m not saying happens all the time, but sleep is altered sleep is one of the problems. Another thing we see among our elderly. It’s not as bad of a among the black community because we tend to have more of a I mean, certainly in certainly in Africa, we certainly have more of a communal altogether togetherness as opposed to, shall we say, Caucasians or people of European descent, tend to be more to yourselves. Just me myself and I and my spouse so to speak, when the kid gets out of the house. It we we laugh about this lado when a kid is 18 He gets out of the house he needs to get a job that never happens now in our country. But anyway, what am I is isolation we are now finding out and this is troubling for me because I’ve been alone have I been alone for many years. So it’s kind of like it’s a wake up call for me. But connections matter not just for financial reward but for health, our health as well. Let me see. So some of the conclusions that they did a study they’re not studying isolation and its effect on the brain. Combining. Let’s see, we we provide evidence that social isolation, social isolation contributes to human brain atrophy and cognitive decline, not among mice, but in actual humans. atrophy that’s shrinkage of the brain. If you’re not having good quality social relationships, this here’s another one. They’re socially isolated, isolated, have decreased ability to learn and make decisions. When you’re socially isolated. You’re at greater risk of developing memory problems. Scary stuff. Alright. Okay, so the last one I want to talk about is immune dysfunction. The immune system, my goodness, I would say over 20 or 30% of your brain cells actually. Immune some form of immune immune cell the other we know about the, the microglia which are the the archetype typical immune cells in the brain, but there are also other immune cells, like the astrocytes astrocytes, for instance. They’re in some type in some ways. They act as immune protective cells or support cells, glial cells in general. We’re now beginning to find out that’s immune function. Proper immune function relates to intellectual brain health. Can you imagine that it’s not just about being like a Voltron to protect against viruses and bugs. The immune system in the brain is vital. For cognitive development, vital for cognitive development. So it’s really, really important that we understand this. So we have been also we’ve been using that we’ve heard of others who have used specific nutrient supplements that specifically target the immune system and improve or optimize immune function. When that happens when we use them. We also see at the same time, improvement in memory and cognitive function and in thinking and overall mood and emotional health. So it’s very important I wanted to do this quick story here. There’s Israeli professor in Tel Aviv. She was talking about she’s a she’s a neuroscientist, but she was studying this whole topic of the immune system. So she knocked out she got she produced a few mice that she knocked out their immune system so the immune system wasn’t working like they should and she sent them to a lab for testing. And the lab scientist calls back and he says, Why did you send me these stupid mice? They can’t find their way through the maze. They can’t do this. They can’t do that. She wasn’t testing for cognitive function she was testing for immune function. But it so happened that she found out almost surreptitiously. It’s not the right word. Now, almost accidentally, let’s use that, accidentally, that the immune system is also important in cognitive process and function. Amazing, mind blowing. Alright, so we’ve we’ve looked at the Dirty Dozen. I just want to mention a few things. Some of you might might say, why isn’t inflammation one of them? Is it isn’t it? Yes, it was one of them. But when I learned about isolation, isolation, when I heard a lot about insomnia, I was like, Ah, no, we got to, we got to, we got to move, inflict inflammation out. And quite frankly, inflammation applies to pretty much all of the Dirty Dozen. It’s like the final common pathway for all sorts of problems from infections. To illnesses to injury. Inflammation is present in all those different areas. So I’m putting in from inflammation as a standalone that this is not one of the Dirty Dozen because they all lead to inflammation in some way. Anyway, that’s my story. I’m sticking with it. It’s going to mention to the three groups at highest risk. I have a picture here that embodies the three groups, women, blacks, and military veterans are have twice the risk or twice the rate of dementia as the rest of the population twice the risk. Of having dementia as the rest of the population actually met a lady who was a military veteran who was already having signs of memory loss had kidney problems, and who was diabetic and unlike she’s gonna need a lot of handhold Yeah, she’s black too.
58:30
Okay, so just want to say a few things about African Americans. Like I said, I really, really, really reach out. I really have. I feel this is an area that has to be addressed. So we’re starting a YouTube channel. We already already have a YouTube channel that deals with dementia and brain disorders in general, and creating a separate channel for blacks, blacks and dementia because I think that has to be isolated and addressed specifically, and what I’ve seen is that once we address specific areas, it’s kind of spills over to other areas as well. Like for instance, why are Blacks having such high risk of dementia? By the way, it’s not just dementia. Now, we all know diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, cancers and so on. And so what we have much higher rates. I don’t know what we did. And then what sin offense we committed. But that’s what we have to deal with. That’s where we are. Those are the cards we’ve been dealt. So we got to live with it. We just got to figure out how to deal with it. And it has a lot to do with things like diet, activity levels, education levels, lifestyles, racial injustice, obviously plays a role as well, and so on and so forth. Even disparities, disparities in access to the healthcare system, also a factor, we cannot deny that, but some of those factors are unavailable. They don’t apply in countries like Nigeria, where obviously we all have the same race so we can just hone in on those alone. Obviously, there have to be other factors and I summarized them in these three areas. These three these three reasons. And like I said, once you understand the most basic things we see that this applies anybody who gets dementia supplies right here as well. We’re the three reasons we have greater attacks. We seem to sustain or suffer greater attacks or assaults on our brains over a period of time for the reasons I’ve given. We have fewer protections. I give the example of vitamin D vitamin D is like a Voltron for the brain. It’s a great protector for the brain. If we’re if we’re low in vitamin D, which we are, it leaves us more vulnerable to disorders like like dementia. And here’s a big one. This applies is a cultural reason we’re less likely once we begin to see things once we begin to notice things going wrong, especially we men we black men, especially once we begin to notice things going wrong with our memory, our our cognition, we at least like we’re very very were loath to go to the doctor and to complain of a mental health issue. Not going to happen really, really, really hard. It’s also worse in the military and I’m I’m a military veteran, so I know. My my classmates or my mates or former major military generals, now major generals, if those of them who have had military have had presented for mental health issues, I mean, it’s it’s on their record for the rest of their lives and it can affect the ascent through the ranks. So most people just know to keep quiet, keep their heads down and to deal with issues. All right. I have a few minutes. Let me see how much how much time do I have left? How much time do I have? Dr. Bill?
Bill Clearfield 1:02:06
analyzer. Oh, you have? Yeah, the other 20 minutes or so.
1:02:12
But 20 minutes. Oh, cool. All right. I don’t think I don’t think I’ll use all that. Let’s because we have to leave time for questions, but
Bill Clearfield 1:02:19
we have questions and whatnot. So
1:02:23
perfect. All right. So going back to the diagram I showed earlier. Remember, it starts with cellular damage, but really before really before so cellular damage starts with attacks where we’ve talked about the different things that can lead to cell cellular damage. The dementia story doesn’t but number two is a complex brain stages. We didn’t really talk about that. So we want to talk about that a little bit before before I hand back to Dr. Bill. So the brain is so this is the picture of the human brain on the left and the on the right you see what is known as a synapse. This is the most basic, shall we say unit of the brain for anything to happen, whether you’re thinking whether you’re having an emotion or whether you’re trying to remember whether you’re trying to move an arm or a finger, whatever. It all happens here. I like to call this this is like the analogy is that the unit, the nation any nation is made up of families family units, and the family unit disintegrates the nation follows parents and the children a child’s that’s the best. That’s the best hope for this world. Having loving parents and the child’s that they can raise obviously, not obviously, we don’t have perfect situations. But that is the standard. Once you start destroying the nuclear family where then we are in for some trouble. Same thing, the basic units of the brain is the synapse, but it’s not just about the synapse. It’s about the network of synapses. Okay. And so what they say is that we have about 100 trillion synapses or connections. I don’t know who has the time to sit down account that cuts synapses. But that’s what they say. So I’m going to take their word for it. They’re the experts. So what happens with Alzheimer’s disease, and this isn’t well publicized. But Alzheimer’s disease specifically targets the synapses so the it shuts down. It’s it’s it pulls back on. So what’s happening in Alzheimer’s disease, let’s put this way what happened what’s happening in Alzheimer’s disease? Is this in looking at what was happening to Alzheimer’s disease is that the brain is pulling back on it’s not because you got to remember, synapses take a lot of energy, the brain cells yes, they take a lot of energy for their work, but the synapses themselves, they require a lot of energy to be maintained. So it makes sense for the brain to begin to pull back once it’s not having the energy has not been able to function the way it should. So it’s basically going into hibernation. So it’s a tearing down are the connections between the things so I just have a picture here. And that is really the crux of the matter. So everything we’ve talked about dementia is Dirty Dozen. They all influence the synopsis so when I talk about deficiencies, like we mentioned, hormonal deficiencies, estrogen protects the synapses. So low levels of estrogen means that the printer synapses are not are not protected. Obviously, the brain cells themselves have been pre protected, but the key is the synapses. So that’s why things like education, because if you’re thinking if you’re learning new stuff, you’re making new synapses. If you’re sleeping well you’re making new synapses. If you’re eating well, you make new synapses. If you’re connecting with people and having great relationships, you are making new synapses. If you are falling ill you’re getting diabetic. hypertensive. It’s it’s damaged in a synopsis. So it’s really all comes down to synopsis. So, if you’re going to prevent and I gotta be careful, yeah, because again, this is what we’re straying into medical legal territory. But I’d like to talk about strengthening the brain. If you’re gonna strengthen your brain and keep it healthy to 80s 90s and beyond. You’ve got to think I got to learn about how to protect strengthen the synopsis how to improve the synopsis that’s really what it comes down to. So prevention, remove the cause, and the effect cease ceases. This was by a 19th century philosopher, remove the cause the lecture. So we’ve given you about 12 causes and depending on which one on where you fall in the whole spectrum, you know, you should find out what to do. If you’re a hypertensive, if you’re a diabetic, you got to take your drugs and you got to make sure that your blood sugar and your insulin levels are low. But also they’re also natural approaches and you got I’m sure you find from from coming to these webinars your arm probably have been equipped to know what to do with that is concerned. Gotta sleep well. You gotta I kind of want emphasize your vitamin D levels have to be how to be now. They’re saying. So, in the US, we measure it in nanograms per mil, the range is 30 to 100. Most doctors if you have like 30 to your finest eye as far as doctors are concerned, you’re fine if you are 32 That to me that’s ridiculous. doctors who are treating dementia like Dr. Dale Bredesen and others and are saying they don’t they don’t expect they don’t accept anything less than 100. I know a doctor who was a slip doctor, she’s a neurologist who probably would have stashed Stasha Her name is Tasha Dominic got something she said when she started treating people for sleep problems. It was only when they went above 60 nanograms per mil that she began to see improvements in their sleep. So the doctor tells you you’re 32 you’re fine. You gotta work on on that is the levels that you need and vitamin d3. Please do not get a vitamin D to vitamin D to yes is what doctors prescribe. That’s the prescription based vitamin vitamin D. I gotta tell you that’s not it’s not as bioavailable it’s not as effective and there are greater chances for toxicity. And everybody’s always start with Oh, toxic vitamin D. Now you got to take a lot of vitamin D to get toxic levels. But I would encourage you if you’re taking vitamin D you want to take vitamin K too. You also want to take magnesium and potassium as well. Those are the supporting cast to make vitamin D more effective unless you have less calcium buildup if you take those others as well. So I’m just gonna say a few things about what we do in our foundation. So when we have people people with dementia, we have like a seven pronged approach. We address several different things beginning with blood flow. For obvious reason, if the blood flow is compromised, blood flow to the brain is compromised. You really can’t get much results. So we address blood flow. We also support the nervous system as a whole different ways we do that we do provide immune supports and gastrointestinal
1:10:01
sorry about it. I just noticed I was on mute. And he missed too much. Well, we didn’t So speaking about God support there’s a lot to go that goes into God’s support. They are now actually associating some kinds of dementia with the problems with the the gut bacteria, but there’s a lot to be talked about there. Detoxification is huge as well. They’re actually as we mentioned earlier, some talks. Some dementia is due to toxins. Some people just have live in very toxic environments, somehow exposed to mycotoxins, they stay in homes where there’s a lot of mold. Anyway, all of those things we create, we sort of address based on the history and based on what’s the circumstances that the patient presents, but I spend most of my life researching for the most powerful cause safest, quickest approaches to addressing brain problems. So we do a lot with that’s concerned. So I think we’re just pretty much just run up with this. The secret of successful agent is a healthy lifestyle, staying physically active, cognitively active and socially active. Sometimes that is not enough. Unfortunately, there are some people that are born with the bad genes, quote unquote, and even those who live a healthy lifestyle, sometimes sometimes, as they say, sometimes bad things happen to good people. But have no fear. There are things that can be done, always, always always things that can be done. And if you think about what’s think about what to do to strengthen your brain, if you give the brain that we found this out, we’ve found this out with kids. We found this out with adults. It’s just a question. Your brain has tremendous potential for minutes ability to fix itself at any age. The challenge is to find out what it needs and how to get what it needs over to it so that it will do the work of fixing itself of repairing itself or regulating itself of restoring itself. If it’s done right our our experience is that it’s almost a miracle, almost miracle, miraculous recovery that can be gotten once you begin to apply these first principles. So I want to say thank you again for listening. Thank you Dr. Bill. I will hand it back over to you.
Bill Clearfield 1:12:34
Thank you can you go back a couple of slides through that your seven points. Can you back up? Yes, sure.
1:12:42
Sure. Hang on.
Bill Clearfield 1:12:44
Okay, if you can do that. Yes, sir. And maybe this is a topic for maybe another time, but can you elaborate a little bit more on what you do for each one of these and what is it? I told you I you know, I spent time time in rural Africa and I, you know, we were just happy to be able to get through the day and to sort of address this kind of, you know, these things were was would pretty much be impossible. You know, at least this was in 2007 You know, maybe things are better. Now, I don’t know but but when you say you’re going to address blood flow, can you give us an example or two of each of each each item? Is that something you could? Yeah,
1:13:40
absolutely. Absolutely. So when it comes to blood flow, we have a formulation. Again, like I said, we add to each of these things we had to find out from the creators of these nutraceutical formulations. So there’s a formulation that helps to boost nitric oxide in the blood. And what we know is that nitric oxide is a gas that helps to dilate blood that helps dilate the blood vessels, relax the blood vessels and improve blood flow to the brain and the rest of the body. And we know that you need at least this is coming from the Nobel Prize winner. You probably heard of him. What’s his name? The guy who 9098 You want to pro and three Yeah, and what has won a prize for the discovery of nitric oxide and how it works in the body.
1:14:31
French gut
1:14:33
is that him? Yeah,
1:14:34
it’s first got what happened. I know it because I went to the med school where he was in Brooklyn, New York. SUNY Downstate.
1:14:42
Got it Yeah, yeah, that’s that’s so here’s one of them. The other guy was Ignacio New England. Now, right? Yeah, yeah. So he, yeah, you’re right. Yeah. No, you can make an arrow. So yes. So they, so we use a formulation that’s based on that. It also has the lumbar balls or supplements like vitamin D and vitamin D and B complex. By the way, B vitamins. I didn’t go I didn’t go into that. Huge when it comes to the brain, so brain support. We use a lot of B vitamins. The one I mentioned the one time in big a lot of research into that vitamin B 12 as well is very, very important very, very, very important. We also have some nutraceuticals that actually address the apoptosis, if you contact me we can we can go into that more but apoptosis is is known as programmed cell death is the way the body kills its own cells and destroys and gets them out of the system as especially as especially what is known as a cell senescence cells, the old cells, so the body the body, when you’re younger, the body is very is more able to destroy its own cells and get them out of the way they’re not working. When you’re young, when you’re older. It’s more difficult to do that. So there are nutrients on nutraceutical supplements that help the body it improves the body’s ability to for apoptosis. And by the way, if they can either read if it’s first of all the body first of all attempts to repair the damaged cells, or the defective cells or the senescence cells, once it sees it cannot do that, it then destroys the cell and get it on the way and that’s what you want. You want. You want lazy on dysfunctional cells out of the way out of the system. So the neutrals, I can do that over to hormonal support. We also so like I mentioned given the raw materials for the body to make and balance out the four main hormones that I think are most important. For the brain. estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and the thyroid hormones. So there are nutrients, they’re going to help the body, make them in the right balance and restore some of it back to health rather than given the fully replacement hormones because that comes with its own problems as you know. Immune Support. This is a supplement as a supplement or it’s not a supplement. Now it’s a nutrients it’s it’s called ACE man and there has been a lot of discovery about ace man is a polysaccharide is a sugar polysaccharide which the immune cells must have to communicate with each other and to identify problems including cloud cancer cells. The macrophages which are like the quarter gallon, quarter quarterbacks of the immune system, use Acemannan to do their work. So there are supplements that have Paceman and the different kinds, but the rents, qualities of supplements so we do that with that concern. But backing up the things like vitamin D and vitamin C and zinc, are extremely important. For the immune system. They can help with in fact what we’re doing for sickle cell disease now is just putting this vitamin D vitamin C and zinc in if one formulation in the right balance and the right I formulated it and I got coming from India to manufacture it because it’s cheaper there. And a charity in the US funded it. So by sending it all over the country, and believe it or not, we are seeing miracles happening with sickle cell disease. Same thing. Those same three can be used should be used for anybody who is having dementia as part of the supporting cast to help this body immune system. Like I said, the Acemannan is the nutrient that is probably the most important, but it’s usually more expensive, more expensive. God supports we use probiotics. We also use nutraceuticals that help to repair the gut wall and help to shut or close the the gut barrier. So reversing leaky gut, if you will. Detoxification big thing. So we use zeolites we use a specific brand of zeolites I don’t know if you’ve heard about that Dr. Bill, you probably have zeolites help to them. They’re like tiny cages. They’re made. They’re made from volcanic ash, believe it or not, and they’re like tiny magnetic cages in the blood. Once you put them in the body. I use them every night before I go to bed because it’s because it helps with detoxification and the brain detoxifies itself during sleep. So zeolites they like magnets they attract and draw a trap. Heavy metals like I can lead and mercury and all that other crap and also chemicals as well. So it drops them on to you just pee them out in the morning or whenever. And and it helps so those who have been affected by toxins who ended up having dementia, we use this for them and we have good results with that. Finally is the battery the brain like I said over and over again. The brain needs a lot of energy. One of the things we try to do is we try to get them to reduce their carb intakes. That’s probably the common sense. Do you want to improve insulin sensitivity so you want to reduce their carbs if they can go into ketogenic diets. Of course that’s not going to happen enough in Africa where we are not going to go away from my African food which is very starchy. So we tried to reduce their their portions, trying to remember what we do for I know this sounds really strange since I do this all the time. I’m trying to remember the, the sub the sub events we use for to boost brain energy. We do use omega threes, obviously, but for my experience we have a president has dementia. We just haven’t seen omega threes as effectively effective in turning the ship around. So omega threes are good as a preventative but when it comes to the big guns when it comes to using big guns to address dementia, I just haven’t seen seeing them as effectively as effective as they should be. So maybe some of
1:21:09
what that means in terms of the energy.
1:21:12
Yeah, yes, exactly. Yes, absolutely. You’re right B vitamins in the energy. Yes. And there’s still something else I’m just it’s just not getting to me now but before we before we end this call, I’ll it’ll come to me.
1:21:28
Coconut coconut oil is pretty cheap.
1:21:31
Yes, yes. MCT oils Yes. MCT oils. coconut oils. Yes. That’s another one. And the other one. The beauty, the beauty rates, by the way to the beauty rates. They could they call them post biotics now, so the beauty rates. There are some formulations that have beauty rates in them. That’s the brain like they’re like ketones so the brain feeds on them. as well. As you know, the the brain seems to be more. It has a preferential uptake of ketones as opposed to glucose if it’s given the choice in a nutshell
1:22:10
in terms of the hormonal support, by the way, a good lecture to everybody. Thank you in terms of the hormonal support any because I didn’t hear you mentioned pregnenolone for example. Do you have any experience with that?
1:22:26
So the formulation I use and I use a couple No, it’s It’s from the wild yam extracts it’s got Dias Cora in it’s, it’s got the diosgenin Those are the precursors to pregnenolone. So, so they are like the more natural forms and the body makes pregnenolone and then mix progesterone from that. So it’s the precursors to pregnenolone.
1:22:53
Right, especially in the cases of trauma.
Bill Clearfield 1:22:57
Hmm, like
1:22:59
I’ve used it,
Bill Clearfield 1:23:00
we use pregnenolone quite often. We actually measure it as part of our workup and our routine. And you can get it pretty inexpensively. Get 100 milligrams about you get 100 of them from life extension for about $16. So pretty inexpensive.
1:23:18
But how much do you use?
Bill Clearfield 1:23:21
150 200 milligrams. It does take a while, you know it’s not a you know, patients take it for two weeks and they’re better that that doesn’t happen but six months to a year and we do see some quite a bit of improvement especially with memory issues. So so we’ve been doing quite a while actually.
1:23:41
I see. So my Our challenge is this if if patients don’t see results within two weeks or a month they are so we have to see results within two weeks.
Bill Clearfield 1:23:53
I understand in our practice anyway. We I mean we address that right away we say you know you need to give us three to six months. I mean, if you expect to be better in two weeks, you know you’re in the wrong place. Yeah. Like most of the folks who show up at least the minority are pretty accepting of that. So
1:24:12
we got it. Got to Do you have insurance now Yeah, so they pay out of pocket.
Bill Clearfield 1:24:20
Yeah, we did for up until about a year ago, a year and a half ago and the insurance people they just got out of hand so we just Yeah.
1:24:31
What do you use?
1:24:34
them? Did you say for senescence cells
1:24:40
that’s what it’s yes. For citizens cells, what do you use to remove them?
1:24:46
So we use a formulation that has the addresses a pump apoptosis. So so it depends on the part of the body that is so that for the brain, they have there’s a product called brain and nerve that stimulates apoptosis. And then the body now uses the brain now is empowered to remove the cells themselves. Or the supplement does not do the work of remote where you’re moving. It just empowers the brain or empowers the body to remove them from the from the brain.
Bill Clearfield 1:25:22
Do you have your own line of supplements that you have available? Or you just have these are they just compounded do you sort of put them together as per person?
1:25:34
Yeah, so personally, I buy them from the I get them from the defense companies, but I’m formulating one. So based on putting together one it’s it doesn’t out yet. So maybe if you want to, if if you’re interested if audience members are interested, they can just go and get a list and then we just put them on our list. So when they when when it’s eventually ready. Hopefully the next one or two months it’ll be out there so it combines all these different basic things that the brain needs to function. So this blog, the basic things like a potassium. I’m shocked quite frankly that most I think I have a potassium supplement here I got off Amazon I mean the highest you can get is like 1000 milligrams in a capsule. The body needs like 4700 That’s what we’re finding out now. Okay, if a woman is less, but we need like 4700 milligrams a day, that’s, that’s a lot of bananas. So we’re trying to formulate, putting together a formulation not for the 700 for potassium, but at least ensuring or trying to ensure that people are not deficient in these different supplements and these different nutrients. And what we know is that most people are deficient in potassium, we mentioned vitamin D. Definitely deficient vitamin b1, timing, especially if you’re on a high carb diet, which is if you’re unprocessed foods you are by definition by definition deficient in the environment. So we’re looking at all these different things I’ve kind of seen about put together abouts goes to 20 I don’t know how it’s gonna work. The formula will have to be grayed out for me. It’s not going to I don’t think we’re going to fit in a capsule so we’re going to see how we can forget to put it in a different formulation. But yeah, we are working on that.
Bill Clearfield 1:27:24
No, I don’t know. Do you know Dr. Mark Gordon at all. He does traumatic brain injury. Hormone optimization. He’s got some supplements he he puts them into, you know a pack of say for you know, any device. And so so it’s for, you know, for different capsules and I mean, this is not my my how I know how to do anything so, but it’ll get the B’s and the D and the C will get like three or four and that’ll be you know, is his formula. So instead of putting 20 trying to put a 20 all in one. He kind of splits it up. So your way to do it.
1:28:02
Yeah, that’s a challenge. I mean, again, I think about it from from my perspective people, my experience that people just especially from my background don’t like taking supplements. So if we can make it as simple for them as possible and just put it in 111 place, but you’re right. I mean that that may work as well. We probably experiment, experiment and look at the options we have. Would I
1:28:29
be able to get your information from Dr. Clearfield to pass it on to Dr. Lewis Horsfield and Carter sarsfields involved with the Veterans Administration for US veterans. And Dr. Lewis just did a six part. Zoom on eyes and the eyes that have been studied for the past 20 3040 years in relationship to dementia and Alzheimer’s and this gets into Iridium are dodgy and the cataracts and the retinopathy and macular degeneration. They look it looks like it can be signs into determining how fast the dementia or the Alzheimer’s is going to hit. And I think you too would hit it off and you probably like help explode on the scene.
1:29:14
I love it. That’s I’ve never heard that before. That’s fascinating. Yes, please connect us. Dr. Bill, you’re going to send I’ll give up my information. I mean,
Bill Clearfield 1:29:24
literally, you know, with your permission, of course, you know,
1:29:27
granted,
Bill Clearfield 1:29:30
and then you’ll get you’ll get a contact list for everybody that’s been on the call tonight too. So okay, awesome. Thank you. There’s a couple of questions in the in the chat. Can I go through them? Is that okay? Okay, so first, can Warnky syndrome cause dementia?
1:29:48
It’s a type of dementia. And that’s, I think that’s from timing that deficiency like I mentioned, it’s related to alcohol. intake. Because ongoing, it looks like dementia. And and that’s they’re gonna go to the emergency room the competent emergency room and put the ER doctor in it wasn’t knows what they’re talking about. They know what they’re doing. Sorry. They can fix that right away by with a thymine infusion. So yes,
Bill Clearfield 1:30:17
that’s the rest of the question is how do you diagnose it and then is the five minute the blood always low and in the treatment, so you just, you just pretty much answered all of that. Okay, next is can ozone intravenously help wernicki syndrome so
1:30:34
you know, I’ve never tried that before. It’s, it could I mean, I’ve heard all sorts of interesting things with ozone. It could. But in my experience, if a person has a deficiency, that deficiency has to be addressed, it just makes sense to do so you know what you’re doing? So, time timing is the answer.
Bill Clearfield 1:30:55
You use plasma collagen precursors.
1:30:59
Yeah, I got talks. I work in Africa. When you started talking about things that are that when it comes
Bill Clearfield 1:31:13
to So as Dr. Ken Crowley was asked the question, I’m just seeing if he’s still want, if he can elaborate a little bit on that as you’re still here, Ken. No, okay.
1:31:25
All right. So, just to let you know if it’s anything more than take these two, these pills, or this lotion, or this pill was in the morning, once at night, or once in the morning, once in the afternoon, it wasn’t evening. Anything more complicated than that. We’ve lost them. So
Bill Clearfield 1:31:43
I’ve been there and done that. I know I know exactly. What Yeah. I don’t always remember we had somebody gave us a lecture on plasma halogens about a year ago, so I’m gonna have to go find that guy again.
1:31:55
Well, I mean, there’s lots of improvements with platelet rich plasma and all kinds of things they’re doing with plasma and it’s quite impressive stuff. But again, as
Bill Clearfield 1:32:07
well, like lots of great talks, eye opening talks on can. Conventional wisdom is fair medicine has failed us. Dr. Sun is how much vitamin D and other vitamin supplements do you recommend for daily consumption? So
1:32:23
I’m sorry, what was the question again?
Bill Clearfield 1:32:25
How much vitamin D would you recommend for you know, daily consumption?
1:32:30
Okay. I want to preface that with saying that I am not giving you medical advice.
Bill Clearfield 1:32:34
Don’t worry about it. We’re all good.
1:32:37
So I recommend that you take nothing less than 10,000 in the winter and 5000 international units in the summer provided, hey, you’re going out and your shorts or Capris like a tank tops. Maybe if you’re not doing that regularly during the summer then you got to take 10,000 international units, anything less than that in my opinion. Now, having said that, there are some people very few I might add, who are like very sensitive to vitamin D. So they might they might freak out when they take 2000s And then you gotta listen to your body, but in general, I recommend us and nothing less than, than 10,000. Have you heard of Dr. Michael Holick. Dr. Bill? No. Okay, he’s one of the His name is Michael Holick. I think it was over in Boston or something. He is one of the foremost researchers in vitamin D and he studied them in Kenya and Africa and all that, and, and he’s like, 10,000, anything less is ridiculous. And he also addresses all the problems. I mean, when everybody other dogs always shouting, the first thing you say they hit they say when they hear you say vitamin D is like toxicity, toxicity, toxicity, and they’re like, oh, what type of toxicity and I like this is it makes no sense. It just makes no sense to me. Your body makes. If you’re white, your body can make up to 15,000 international units in 30 minutes of exposure to the sun. That’s normally for a black person who might take six times or 10 times longer to get that same amount of vitamin D. But the bottom line is that if your body can make 15,000 international units a day every day, and by the way, what they call those people the Baywatch people. Lifeguards, yeah, they’ve got they’ve found out that lifeguards can can can make as much as 50,000 international units from being exposed to the sun. If your body makes that much How can that be toxic? And so it’s a tragedy that people do more to fight against vitamin D than they do to promote it and I really I need to be careful. My words weren’t here but i really i fault our medical practitioners are in doing this, especially our black doctors because black doctors we need I mean, we need to be promoting this to the black community more because we are very deficient. There’s a doctor who wrote a book I’m gonna get this one real quick. It’s called up patient practice, patient centered centered clinical care for African Americans. He’s based in Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. And they asked him the faculty asked him to write it or to write a book on it and so on. One of the unique I think they initially was like they wanted him to talk about just just minorities, minority health challenges and how to deal with them. But the more he studied, the more he realized that blacks are class on their own. We have specific problems. And then he’s, he’s I discovered talking about vitamin him studying studying about vitamin D and the problems that happen with the vitamin D deficiency. And while he was doing it, he’s like, Okay, let me just check. You know, I haven’t checked my body health check my vitamin D levels in a long time. Let me go check my vitamin D levels. Do you know what is vitamin D levels were nine nanograms per mil remember, we said the ranges, the acceptable range is 30 to 100. His was nine.
Bill Clearfield 1:36:21
That’s normal. That’s normal in January in Wilkes Barre PA. That’s actually pretty good.
1:36:27
Nine is pretty good at in
Bill Clearfield 1:36:29
Wilkes Barre pa in January. That’s that’s a pretty good level. If I can make just a couple of short comments about that. I gave a talk a couple of weeks ago in Houston. And the day before I got a you know what view medi is it’s sort of like the YouTube of for medical medical people. It’s a it’s little and it was a video by a by endocrinology. Professor UCSF basically said that vitamin D is no good for anything. And this is a board certified endocrinologist. And of course, you know, the comments were you know, we’re fooled and you know, we’ve been we’ve been we’ve been told otherwise. And then it’s, you know, and you know, he was the guru there. So if anybody, I have the I have the link somewhere if anybody wants to watch it. It’s like it’s kind of ridiculous, but
1:37:24
I would love to be
Bill Clearfield 1:37:27
with it. But this is what’s out there. Having said that, I actually had a patient who overdosed on vitamin D, and he passed away. And this was a long time ago was it 1990 91 You have to remember back then we didn’t measure vitamin D levels. You know, it was we were taught so as you can tell by my hair, I’ve been around a long time. We were taught in school. Vitamin D is a poison. Don’t ever use it. That was that was the extent of it. And that was the I graduated in 1978. Oh, wow. So this, this guy was not he was 44 years old. He wasn’t in really good shape. He was a bad diabetic. He’d already had to, to MIT. He was he had two stents in his heart. He had a stent in his carotid. He had a half a foot off from diabetes a good day his blood sugar was 300. So about a year one night he shows up and it was in the middle of the winter. In an ice storm. He shows up having seizures, which was brand new, and they call me from the ER and he’s an ER having seizures and they’re giving a maximum of medications and nothing’s working and they didn’t know what was wrong with them. He did a CAT scan and an MRI and all of that everything was normal. The only thing that wasn’t normal was his calcium was 15. So no cow, those of us know calcium and 15. That’s a brain tumor until you rule out otherwise. Well, he didn’t have that. The neurologist came in he didn’t know what to do with him. The neurosurgeon came in endocrine, nobody knew what to do with this guy. I called his wife and I said, we wanted to send them down to to down to University of Pennsylvania. But the weather was bad so we couldn’t couldn’t get them out of there. And she says to me, I don’t know if this matters, but he went to he went to Sam’s Club six months ago, and he bought six or six bottles of vitamin D and you know, there’s 1000 pills and each each of those bottle Oh, and last last month, he went back and he he got three more and there’s only one left. And so where we lived in Northeast Pennsylvania was kind of a tradition. Mom would put a candy dish at the stairwell and even though it was cold country, there was a basement, a first floor and a second floor. And the tradition was when you went up and down the steps. You could take a scoop of candy. So she said about six months ago he took it took all the candy out and he put vitamin D pills in there and he took a scoop of vitamin D every time he went up and down the steps. Well, so So I called the lab but I said he run a vitamin D level and you know who runs the labs in those places? Right. You know, you remember Statler and Waldorf from the from the Muppets, you know, the two old curmudgeons you know you know there were you know, guys, right So, every fourth or fifth word was was was an English word that you could, you could could repeat. And the rest of them were, you know, would make a sailor or even marine blush. And when we finally got it back, it took a while we got it back I got greater than 900 that was the guy’s vitamin D let’s that’s as close as they could come. So it was a 2000 unit pill because he took at 8000 units a day for six months died I mean, obviously it was in bad shape to begin with. But you know, I always remember that you know, and you know, if I had said, well, they just take what you want. I don’t know if there’s any any. I don’t know if there’s any any defense for that. He says, Well, you told me to take what I wanted. So I did 8000 pills in six months. I mean, that’s, you know, obviously he this guy earned it, you know? Like you said, you have to really overdose yourself.
1:41:08
Yeah, you’ve got to go out of your way to already just silly,
Bill Clearfield 1:41:14
but we’ve seen blood levels of 130 140 and the patients have dizziness and ringing in their ears and they have balance problems and what things I don’t know what your experiences but so
1:41:25
yeah, yeah, I thank you for pointing that out. There’s a real danger of overdosing or high high levels. But my experience is that it’s it’s much more on the other end than than the overdose overdose. aspects and from 10 Almost nobody I gave kids 10,000 international units. Like I said, with sickle cell disease, we started with 1001 didn’t work, we moved to 2000 and then finally he was like, if you over the age of six, like 10,000 the area under that 5000 And that’s that’s really what is what seems to have worked for us now. So maybe with black people is is we maybe there are those snips that we have to deal with but, but I’m pretty comfortable that for the most part 10,000 is okay. And if there’s a problem usually they should be able to sense it and they should be able to feel maybe I’m a little too sensitive and and they can change that.
Bill Clearfield 1:42:24
In our experience. Usually we get an increase in the vitamin D level of about eight I think it’s nanograms per milliliter I think that’s that’s the unit per 1000 units intake for add in about takes about 60 days. So 2000 unit. You know, vitamin D would increase the blood level by about 16 points. So
1:42:52
we usually see that see that again, please?
Bill Clearfield 1:42:56
No, it’s about eight points, vitamin D, the vitamin D level will increase per 1000 unit, international unit capsule and a good quality one and so a 2000 unit 2000 iu pill, which is the big bottle at Sam’s Club, or Costco should should increase it by about 16 points. So five rounds, takes about two months to to throw get okay. 5000 unit would be eight. Five times eight is 40. So about 40 points. So your guy at nine you know needs more than that. We’ve also had some pretty good success with the timer at least once the 50,000 unit time or at least once we’ve had some some pretty good success with that. And then they only have to take it once a week. And the big challenge there is to have them remember to take it so. Yeah. So but that’s that’s kind of been our experience. Our goal is usually about 50 to at the midpoint of about 65 So like you said 30 to 100 is normal. The midpoint is 65. So you know where those numbers come from. Right? It’s a two standard deviations. That’s pretty low. 100 comes from so it’s 95.4%. So at 65 is the midpoint then we take one standard deviation, which is 68%. Break that in half 34% on either side of our 65 gives us a a a goal there 50 to 80 So that’s how we figure that out.
1:44:37
That’s what we like to add to things be doing
Bill Clearfield 1:44:40
that for a long time. That way, and you know, it’s worked out for us. So I don’t know about 100 to 120 we I’m a little uncomfortable with that but you know, you’re younger and much better looking and probably have a lot more experience with it. So we can look at getting it a little bit higher so that’s the way we that’s the way we’ve been doing it anyway.
1:45:06
But some magnesium do it also right bill, magnesium and vitamin K. Yeah,
Bill Clearfield 1:45:11
yeah, we are we
1:45:12
yeah the vitamin I was about to say that thank you. Vitamin K to if you if you I believe the ratio is 100 to one. So I think given 10,000 international units you gave about 100 micrograms of vitamin K to vitamin K to for the most part that ratio which will negates the calcium toxicity concerns, because it’s because it pushes like you know, it pushes the calcium excess calcium in the blood, it pushes it into the bones and teeth where it needs to be. So that I since calcium is the main concern with vitamin D toxicity with with vitamin K to your Yeah, pretty much in good shape.
1:45:53
And so for both of you guys, as far as what Bill just just asks, in terms of the fee 50,000 units weekly. What I do with my patients, usually in talking about black patients, usually they go to services. I told them on Sunday, put it by your Bible if you’re taking your Bible you taking over that means you also and I got great results with it when
1:46:17
God that’s great.
Bill Clearfield 1:46:19
Yeah, actually we use Sunday also for that so right right. Okay. Okay, what it was a question to hear about is what you’re doing similar to the Bredesen protocol.
1:46:32
The venison protocol is for it. No it’s not. I’m more basic, very much more basic than that. Like I said, we can’t measure anything. We can’t measure the Buddism protocol is very, very detailed in all the different measurements and all that and sometimes they have insurance coverage. Sometimes they don’t, but for the most part, their patients are pretty well off. We don’t even come close to it. I just deal with the basics. So like I said, we usually look for the safest things that can give the greatest impact in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, otherwise we’ve lost them. And so sometimes we get hits on it sometimes we don’t get those results quickly enough. And
Bill Clearfield 1:47:16
when I when I got the candidate, the super district hospital they told me that the blood count machine was out but the technician would be there within three months and nine months later when I left that I heard I heard him say to my replacement, the blood Macao blood count machine is out but the technician will be around and three times I forget I forget that. That’s that’s the way it is you can’t get that stuff you know there that just doesn’t exist. So there’s a comment here. Zero light is good. But Pasco light is also very effective. I don’t know if you don’t think about that.
1:47:54
I have never heard that before as I will write write that down and check it out. Okay, so just a quick point that point that as you know with, I said I deal with brain disorders of all ages. One of the most effective things we found out for kids with autism was because they have their dysbiosis they’ve got chemical metabolites. They’ve got chemical toxins. They’ve got heavy metals, they’ve got a whole bunch of stuff affecting their brains. One of the great tools we have is just by given zeolites we found that they could even improve their speech. They were able to speak better, just because because we were able to take away that burden, that toxic burden from them. So we of course we use it for dementia as as well.
Bill Clearfield 1:48:36
We have in the office Joe so we’ll look at it tomorrow. Okay, so that Santa tab, I don’t know that’s got to be one of those biologics and core certain is used for brain senescence cells. That’s a common sense in the sad era. D that’s one of those. I can never pronounce those those. Those biologics I’m not sure which one that is so um, that’s a comment and add and then Mary Ellen says and Fiskerton is another one. Yeah.
1:49:12
Male, would you have Dr. Nereo? Talk about the shutdown a little bit because that’s been commonly used and you can use it every three months, six months. And if he’s using that protocol, I would like him because he’s the one who has mentioned that and he’s still around. If again, who is that? Dr. Melvin? Nereo.
Bill Clearfield 1:49:35
is still here, Dr. Nereo. He’s in my office. He follows me around every Tuesday.
1:49:44
Don’t worry Thank you.
Bill Clearfield 1:49:47
Life Extension has senolytic activator. Thanks. Dr. Fogarty says she buys her potassium from in bulk and it’s comes in a powder in a big bag and she uses a quarter teaspoon on salad every night.
1:50:03
That’s, that’s potassium.
Bill Clearfield 1:50:06
That’s what she said. I don’t know how much that is. But I guess it’ll say on the back, right.
1:50:15
I have to figure out how to unmute myself. Yes, I think it’s about 600 milligrams, which is according my labs, what Dr. Gant recommended for me getting way more than I was taking I was taking a couple of 100 milligrams a day. I thought that was a lot but obviously not. So to buy it and you know, take all those. Most of it comes in a hard tablet which is hard for me. To swallow. I’m old. So swallowing is hard. So um, the little crystals dissolve in my salad. If I’m not careful about sprinkling it can be a little nasty to taste but mostly I don’t even notice it. Which company to buy it from? Bulk is the name of the company.
1:51:00
Bulk supplements. Amazon Yeah. Yeah,
1:51:04
I think it’s they have their I think I went directly to the company because sometimes you get better deals that way. Got it. And yeah,
1:51:13
just to put a finer point on potassium I, I think one of the mistakes I see with neurologists and people who treat dementia is that they just focus on that brain that organ called the brain. And we don’t look at the supporting cast, like I said, the immune system or the the hormonal system, the endocrine system with potassium it’s amazing. Put without putting in office hours and you can get those synapses working and you can get the body to bring us energy, but also importantly, especially if it wasn’t black people. You don’t get to be liked by potassium more. Potassium is important for vasodilation for to improve blood flow and to relax the blood vessels and for blood flow in the brain. So So one of the reasons why we have as black people now we have such intractable blood pressure. Many times well on multiple medications to address blood pressure. Many times if you add potassium to your blood pressure medications, and this applies to white people as well. You will find out that you don’t need you don’t need as much blood pressure medications. I mean it mostly is going to stop it but it goes a long way. So I think the potassium is the unsung hero in many of these conditions. In my opinion. You also
1:52:30
won’t need as much salt that’s one of the things that happened when I started taking this supplement. i i You know I used to crave salt well wasn’t the salt I was craving it was potassium I was craving.
1:52:41
Interesting, interesting when I was good. Thank you
Bill Clearfield 1:52:46
a comment we all know this in medical school I was taught the vitamin D was lipophilic and there was a high chance of toxic accumulation. I think those
1:52:54
we repress a lot they keep on saying that’s just what I was infuriating.
Bill Clearfield 1:52:59
I know. I know.
1:53:01
It’s like they’ve probably they’ve never they’ve never encourage anybody to take vitamin D. They don’t check the vitamin D levels. But as soon as someone like me comes as us talking, I say this because this last Saturday I was I went to a church went to speak to their seniors, and there was a professor of medicine in his 80s and he sat down next to me because we haven’t seen next to each other. We were from the same school. And the first thing I say he said he tells me when I sit down is you got you got to explain to them. Make sure you tell them not that vitamin D is toxic, and he’s like going on and on. I mean, it’s like Did you hear anything else? I said it’s like you got to warn them about vitamin D is like Vitamin D is the devil.
Bill Clearfield 1:53:43
I I know. I know. I said that. Anybody wants the link for that video. I’ll show you I’ll show it to you. This is a you know, endocrinology professor at UCSF and it was just just ridiculous. And this just this last weekend we were at a dermatology conference here in Reno and the speaker was talking about vitamin D levels are apparently are low in melanomas. So he encourages all this. He says we’ll teach this I don’t measure them. I just give him 1000 units and I don’t really know how to how to you know how to how to how to dose it at all, but 1000 units, you won’t get into trouble. Right. Did I get that right?
1:54:25
Right. I agree. I mean, Bo and do much either but you will get in trouble. That’s for sure.
Bill Clearfield 1:54:31
That’s what he said
1:54:32
he didn’t go he didn’t deviate 1000
Bill Clearfield 1:54:35
I don’t measure it. I don’t know how to measure it. I give them 1000 units. I tell them to be careful if they take 2000 Sad. Yeah. So Okay. Let’s see there’s a link here something about from Shell about there’s I think it’s an article on Calcifer rule. And there was a study here Dr. Sun says that he says of keeping vitamin D levels above 100 can substantially protect against COVID Not so sure about that but we can find out.
1:55:08
Oh 98 studies showed 98.7% of the people who had severe forms of COVID or who died from COVID low vitamin D levels
Bill Clearfield 1:55:16
right well that that I think all of us here you know we’re we’re all the you know, the Kool Aid drinkers here we you know, we were all pretty much in agreement with you here. This was we’re not arguing with you, but you get that don’t get that wrong. So by but like I said, you know, the these you know, professors stand up there and you know, he’s he’s the he’s the guy who’s writing the board the board questions and, you know, he’s telling you to, you know, you don’t need vitamin D is a you know, it’s a big waste of time. So, so,
1:55:52
well I Johns Hopkins is like a mafia oh very strong throwing had you probably hit Johns Hopkins University on my vault on my apartment here. And I gotta tell you, I mean they are they are adamantly opposed. To anything supplements vitamin D in total. You think you’re there? And that’s that’s unfortunate.
Bill Clearfield 1:56:10
Okay, another question here. Is there a safer form of vitamin D plant based I’m not sure. I don’t know.
1:56:19
So the vitamin D two is more likely the the plant based. It’s, it’s certainly not as bioavailable as the vitamin d3. Vitamin d3 is from the fish fish oils. That’s what has been shown to be the most effective and the most bioavailable, and the less the least likely to be toxic. So I would say vitamin D from fish is probably the best. No, that’s a fish. No, no, no, I’m sorry. That’s, that’s not true. Um, to go I think of omega threes. Vitamin D where they get vitamin D from I think some from sheepskin, some of the areas but anyway, from animal from animal sources, Vitamin D from animal sources is probably more effective.
1:57:03
And some cod liver oil has vitamin D in it, and can help raise the vitamin D. And then I’m wondering if what Shell saying is some of the manufacturers say that their supplements are plant based, not synthetic based. That might be what he’s talking about. Right.
1:57:25
Yeah, could be. Could be. Very well could be what I found about Well, I mean, so my experience with vitamin D I’m things like omega threes. I’m very, very, very, very, very fastidious or careful about taking the right brands. But with vitamin D. I mean, we’ve tried so many different kinds and again, with kids, you know, works. It doesn’t work. There’s you don’t have all these confounding factors. And from what we see with vitamin D, almost every brand works. So I thought too. I’m not too concerned about the brand, quite frankly, whether it’s China or the US or wherever it’s it seems to work, okay.
Bill Clearfield 1:58:08
Okay. Is there a way for us to listen to your TV show or you know, to tap in some way Is there is there. Can we get that on the internet? Or is that the sort of a proprietary thing and you know,
1:58:21
oh, no, no, it’s quite good. You know what, while we’re here, let me just go to because I have a web and one of our web pages we have the archived video, I’m just gonna, I’m just gonna post them there. Give me a second to the thing. It’s a you asked me about live. Live
Bill Clearfield 1:58:39
or recorded doesn’t matter. So okay,
1:58:42
yeah. Live you would probably have to watch it. If you have kids. Watch it Nigeria and Africa, one of the countries in Africa if you do the network, so that’s a little harder, but definitely I can get
1:58:57
we can do our next convention in Africa doc
1:59:00
that’s right. That is right. Okay, I think I got it. Yeah. So I am just going to post this if I can, yeah, there you go.
Bill Clearfield 1:59:20
Okay. Okay.
1:59:25
Okay, I’m posting it here. And I can just while I’m here, I’ll just put my, my contact information as well.
1:59:33
So, okay. So that’s just one less thing for you to do. Dr. Bill.
Bill Clearfield 1:59:39
Okay, there we go. Okay. All right. So we got the link there if you need it. I have I have like my saying you’re right, I jabi
1:59:50

2:00:31
Well, thank you. Thank you so much. And thank you for
Bill Clearfield 2:00:36
all the things we didn’t do when I was in Africa. Those nine months we thought we did a good job and all the things we we actually didn’t get to do so. We went almost want me what made me want to go back almost but again tooled for this. Okay, all right, so there’s that. Okay, um, so again, thank you so much. You know, we’ll have the video up as soon as we can. Somehow my my web persons is they’re ending up on YouTube too. And I have a have a YouTube channel and these are all of our videos are ending up there also. So so it’s aos or d.org/webinars. That’s our usual that’s where we ended up and then if you put in if you put in here if you’re a medical group for the channel, apparently I have a channel I didn’t know I had a channel they have less they look 999 subscribers. I don’t know. But I did do
2:01:40
a fan club bill.
Bill Clearfield 2:01:42
Yeah, yeah, so Clearfield Medical Group is the channel and are all our web. Oh, a lot of not all of them. But a lot of our especially the last six months, I think just about every video has been on there. And of course, the one with Dr. McCall has ended up being on there and I got pulled off. So that’s another
2:02:03
Oh really? Dr. Peter Mercola huh.
Bill Clearfield 2:02:05
Yeah, we’ve had him. We had him live last year at our conference. And then we had we’ve had him on a couple times. So you know, he does
2:02:16
his his lightning rod, isn’t he?
Bill Clearfield 2:02:19
He is Yeah. Yeah, I think he’s looking a little a little worn out though lately, so
2:02:26
I can’t blame him is okay. He is. So
Bill Clearfield 2:02:29

J Campbell is going to be back and he’s going to tell us his take on you know, the peptides have been banned. So he’s going to tell us his take on it. And there was an artist he was mentioned in an article last Friday in the Wall Street Journal if anybody wants to look it up, so and not in a positive light so so he’ll be back with after that. The week after that. I think we have Dr. Patel is going to be enlightening us on her going to say environmentalism, right and vibrant environmental medicine. So that’s, that’s coming up in the next couple of weeks. Okay, we’re here every Tuesday 8pm Eastern 5pm. Pacific we’ve been doing. October 22 was our three years of anniversary. We’ve been doing this for three years. We’ve only missed one Tuesday and that was because it was on July 4, and I decided to take off. So what we’ve been doing this for three years now, all of our, all of our videos and all of them are on that aos rd.org. So if you want to find any of them, and if anybody would like to volunteer to catalog them because they’re not they’re just in order. So it would be nice if we could get a you know, an alpha, you know, a list, but I don’t have the time to do it. So somebody wants to do that. Please let me know. Dr. David, thank you again so much.
