– QUESTIONS IN THE MEDICINE CABINET from; Dr. Lindsey, Dr. Brian, the news, Internet and Joey Pals in the “Medicine Cabinet”.
– DISCUSSION of the effect of our extreme heat on health issues.
1. What is this about cyanide in toothpaste? (No. Cavities are built on bacteria. Toothpaste has evolved and some ingredients have been taken out and then fluoride is added, which reduces cavities by about 30 %. No articles about cyanide in toothpaste. Best way to pick a toothpaste is to be certain it is endorsed by the American Dental Association. Brush for 2 minutes.)
2. Are we reaching something called the Immune Era? (Sort of. This is something akin to “herd immunity”. Covid when it was a Pandemic vs Covid as an endemic demonstrates this, as does polio and smallpox. Want to address them w/ yearly vaccinations. Df. of immunotherapies. Designed to treat some diseases to “teach” your own immune system to fight these diseases. Some are auto-immune, or genetic diseases. Now our bodies are primed and ready to fight.)
